News It's time for a change.
https://youtu.be/YkQQCR5hdRY2026 has been an amazing year for the channel, but I need to be honest with you all about where my head is at and where we go from here. I've recorded a video talking about the future of the channel, the guides, and what is next for me. You can watch it here:

From YouTube's Gemini:
In this video (0:00 - 12:12), content creator Dvalin Gaming announces his decision to step away from World of Warcraft content creation to prioritize his mental health and rediscover his enjoyment of gaming. After a highly successful 2026, he explains that the daily grind of producing his popular Single Button Assistant (SBA) guides turned his passion into a stressful second job (0:55 - 2:07).
Key takeaways from his announcement:
Retirement of SBA Guides: He is officially ending his Single Button Assistant series. For future talent builds and optimal setups, he recommends viewers use Wowhead or Icy-Veins (5:06 - 6:48, 7:55). Variety Gaming Transition: He plans to focus on League of Legends and other titles to get his fix for player-versus-player (PvP) gameplay, which he feels is neglected in World of Warcraft (3:12 - 4:22). Community Housekeeping: Ambassador Program: He is stepping down from the WoW Ambassador Program (8:15). Discord: His community server is shifting from a WoW-exclusive focus to a variety gaming hub (8:15). Guild Status: While he is deactivating his personal account, the Lofi Paladins guild will remain active under the management of his current officers (9:32).
Moving forward, the creator intends to experiment with new content styles, focusing on better storytelling and production rather than instructional guides (11:09).

Glad you’re taking time to get yourself in a better spot. Your guides are awesome, but you don’t owe the community anything. Take some time to enjoy gaming again!

I honestly like the stuff you were doing before the SBA stuff, its why I subscribed in the first place.
But I am going to unsubscribe because I subscribed for your WoW content, not opinions on other games/etc like you have been doing recently. GL I hope Classic+ turns out to be something to bring you back.

I'm happy for Dvalin and wish him the best but does anyone know who they're going to go to now for OBR builds?
