Xaryu's mage survives two Paladins, then fears the forums
His joking plea to keep a WoW encounter private accompanies a Short drawing nearly five times his usual early audience.

"another Xaryu clip going around"
Next story: WoW Forever fills Xaryu's days, and apparently his sleepless nights
"Not good, boys. Not good." Xaryu sounds concerned as a second Paladin joins the attack on his World of Warcraft mage. He keeps casting, controlling the fight and working through both opponents' defenses. Soon, his worry has shifted from surviving the encounter to hearing about it afterward.
The Short has reached roughly 360,000 views in 15 hours. Its comments have already passed twice the channel's usual full-day total, with viewers picking apart the spells as much as Xaryu's expression.
Midway through the encounter, he announces that both opponents have used their protective bubbles. He defeats one, then finishes the other with frost spells. Before the fight is even over, he is anticipating the discussion: "I should have maybe let these guys kill me, cuz now I'm gonna hear about it on the forums."
Several commenters focus on Blessing of Freedom, a Paladin ability that counters movement-impairing effects, questioning its absence from the encounter. Others point to the grin behind his worried commentary.
The clip arrives alongside Xaryu's WoW Forever streams and a guide explaining when to use a mage's lowest-rank spells. Here, the lesson ends with him covering the camera and pleading: "No, guys, don't link that to anyone! Keep that between us, please!"
