I have always admired and loved your videos, content, insight, and delivery of information to the Rogue community. This time with Algalon as a guest speaker really blew it out the water. The script and all the work you put into it is very brilliant and genius. I enjoy your work and am so proud of your accomplishments and the milestones you continue to reach. I am thankful and grateful for you Simonize. Thank you again and keep up the amazing work. I'm still smiling and laughing over this crazy good video a day later and I hope this stands as a gem for a long time.
Keep making great rogue content. It has helped me so much. Thank you for doing these videos. They are clear concise and and the humor you put in is great. Your editing is good too and you get right to the point.
I've played lots of classes throughout the years, but since i've found your videos, i've never been as confident in my gameplay in any other class. You make the best and most in-depth class content i've ever seen for WoW. When I play my MM hunter or my Tank Paladin, all the icy-veins, wowhead, etc... guides don't even come close to all the ones you put out for rogues.
This has to be one of the best videos on RUclips for its intended audience, wow players. Thank you for the inspired choice and entertaining content. You amaze us again!
From an assassination perspective, in a world where you and another rogue are trading (Glyphed) Tricks on cd for the damage buff, is is still worth both of you losing 4 seconds of buff uptime per 30s to swap to glyph of feint? Obviously from a personal dps perspective the best case scenario is you receive a 10s buff AND have feint glyphed but that's not necessarily correct from a raid standpoint. My SWAG is that both of you keeping Tricks glyphed is better DPS but that the margin is thin enough that the free AOE damage avoidance is worth making the change. In my personal case, the other rogue is the combat rogue responsible for armor pen so glyph slots are tight for both of us and trick seem the most likely to go.
I just got the both the second bis combat wepons last night so I respecd combat. I have an a orc specific question about the expertise with the fist weapons. My MH is 8% and OH is like 6.75%... Could I drop it so I'm just MH at 6.5%? Or will the undercap of the OH expertise make me lose dps?
sorry bro but if you still have to ask this question then you probs dont need to worry too much about your parses, its literally remained unchanged since classic you can vanish anything at the END of the cast. When else would you want to vanish a fear? at the start, so you get broken out of stealth with the fear? Just think these questions through a bit maybe bro, you'll be surprised that you'll end up answering your own question.
@123 456 damn, alright u didn't have to be such a dick about it lol he gives an exact time for razorscale saying 0.3 seconds, was curious if the fear had a particular time as well It was just a question too, idk why u got all fed up and felt the need to bring in parses and attack me personally p uncalled for and unhelpful I'm also purple average parses at the moment and wotlk this round is my first real go at wow so I defs have some knowledge gaps that simonize and other rogue bros have helped fill, I don't understand ur negativity here
I think at this point it will depend on the number of targets. For very high target counts those weapons will always stay bis, but for smaller target counts or stuff like Kologarn then I'm not so sure if the weapon swap is worth it.
before watching: Cool I've been getting really good at these fights, I wonder if there are any tips I missed after watching: Holy shit I learned something for every fight Serious question - do we really want to fan of knives when there's only 1 cat up on Ayayaya? I thought the rule of thumb is only fan when there are 3 or more enemies, and on 2 enemies just single target burn then switch edit - he's using fan of knives glyph for her and Kolo, so in that case yes fan when only 2 targets
I too question that. Also, same with Kolo. We kill his R arm first, so I assume I stop casting FoK when the R arm is dead, as there are only 2 targets at that point. This happens pretty quickly.
Yeah i dunno, there seems to be some very questionable things here. Sure, attacking the XT heart with cd and spamming fok on Kologarn increase your personal DPS but don't bring any benefit to raid DPS since it's completely wasted damage. Tricks with glyph is an overall raid DPS gain too, spamming feint might be worth it on very heal intensive bosses but usually you only need it for very specific mechanics like Tantrum on XT. And using Expose armor when you have a warrior in your raid like he does in the Auriaya footage is also far from optimal. And besides, who the hell cares for optimal DPS on Kologarn or Auriaya, those bosses are literally freeloot. You would need like 5 different Talent sets to be optimal on every boss
This is a detailed SOP on how to operate as a rogue in Ulduar, mixed with the best humor and intelligence. Thank you for spreading your knowledge to the likes of us mere mortals.
In OG WotLK we had a spread sheet for everything that could be dodged by KS, Vanish, Feint, Cloak, and Evasion and no matter how much digging I do I just can't seem to find it.
Great video although I dont like the Leviathan bullying... he is just out there doing his best ya know? If anyone deserves bullying it should be the engineers who created him lol

The hiring of Algalon was such a cooool idea :D especially because of the untold lores that he revealed about other bosses in Ulduar

Thanks Algalon. You did alright. Simon should probably hire you again.
This is my favorite flavor video of this entire year so far.

Tip for council, the lightning aoe Brundir casts, Overload, can be survived with Feint, reducing the damage greatly and increasing uptime.
THANK YOU SIMON THIS VIDEO CAME AT THE PERFECT TIME
This is also one of the funniest wotlk vids I've ever seen lol
im glad you like it! I wasnt sure how the algalon cameo would go over with the audience but now its pretty clear its well received so im happy :)
Literally the best video you've made yet. Love the these videos and this one is absolutely fantastic.
that was super entertaining! Loved the cameo and the small insults Algalon kept throwing out! Good job.
Hello simonize. Great work on the channel. I just want to ask, is it an add on that says too far? Or is it part of weak auras? Many thanks
I’m a simple man. I see a Simonize video and I click.

In my personal case, the other rogue is the combat rogue responsible for armor pen so glyph slots are tight for both of us and trick seem the most likely to go.
Really good question. Asked myself the same. Please enlighten us
I swapped to feint glyph a couple days ago and oh my god. The freedom! Never stall dps to save energy to survive mechanics.
Algalon voiceover was pog.
This is your best video yet
I just got the both the second bis combat wepons last night so I respecd combat. I have an a orc specific question about the expertise with the fist weapons. My MH is 8% and OH is like 6.75%... Could I drop it so I'm just MH at 6.5%? Or will the undercap of the OH expertise make me lose dps?
Plz help lol
Nicee, i was looking for so long for a video of this kind🎉, thanks guys please we wait for the second part 😊
Absolute banger video, Simon
Been waiting on this. Thank you.
At what time do you hit vanish to dodge the scream? Sounds like a good tip same with the razorscale one, great video thx for the info :-)

@@drafman1 both toxic and stupid. impressive!
should I still be using spellblade/rod of sun king/ felstriker for fan of knives?
I think at this point it will depend on the number of targets. For very high target counts those weapons will always stay bis, but for smaller target counts or stuff like Kologarn then I'm not so sure if the weapon swap is worth it.
I love that Algalon says ANYWAYS
Awesome video man, cant wait for part 2! Thanks so much
Do I play rogue? No.
Do I play wow classic? Nah.
Did I watch? Yup.
Just love your overall game knowledge.
Where can I find the WA that tells you what attack to use next? Great content!
all ui elements can be found on the discord. check video description
I got my boot blade today because of you Simon, Tysm!
your welcome i will definitely take credit for that
Can’t wait for next video
thanks for the tips!! I truly appreciate your show and will be watching for you on warcraft reloaded in the coming week (I believe).
Great work! Very informative guide delivered in a fun way. Would you be able to link the weakaura that you use for the melee range check?
all the addons on weakauras can be found on my discord. check the video description.
Dry-wit algalon has me rolling
1:20 the gordok ogre suit flex
oh look honey! another Simon video.
Bro always has godly music too 😩
we stan simonize
Hey, great video! where can I find the weakauras that you use?

Great work as always Simon 💪
special thanks to the rogue goat 🐐
Just getting back into, clutch.
Where/How did you get the Algalon AI voice?
Wait on cat lady as combat I just slice and fan of knives if there is one cat up
Great video as always!
Let's go Hatgodx! Thanks for the video!!
Amazing. Thank you Simon!
What’s the song around 5 min Simon? It’s incredible. I need the sauce
all songs are listed in the video description
Very cool video dude. I like your hat too ☺
Hey, thanks!
THAT. WAS. AWESOME! Sorry about your car, man.
great vid - PT 2 PLS
In OG WotLK we had a spread sheet for everything that could be dodged by KS, Vanish, Feint, Cloak, and Evasion and no matter how much digging I do I just can't seem to find it.
There’s a spreadsheet still that I found on a rogue discord it’s definitely still around or some form of it
Could you please post the weakaura for tracking your trinkets or tell me where to find it
please check video description
what is the other talent spec for kolo that you recommend?
This is the greatest video ever!!😂
Great video 👍 need pt 2 so I can finally parse!
i now learned why my tricks was unavailable in raid last week :)
Oooh I’m gonna try the cleave spec for assa on kolgarn and auraya
should i swtich weps for aoe in the middle of encounter? like kolo/freya/auraia etc.
Hey Simon it looks like you are exposing ? Why is the fury warrior not sundering?
because it was his turn to apply armor debuff but he paid me 3000g to do it and i accepted that deal
@@SimonizeShow trade deal of the century
Hahahahaha the algalon feature is so good
where i can see the timer for first tip @ razorscale?
Great (and funny) video!
thanks for this homie!
great content pal
Algalon makes no mention of auriya fear being able to vanish that one? You should fire algalon!
listen to the video again
Please hire again Algalon for the rest of the bosses 😅
great vid
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but my dps and parses are so, so, so bad
Was that the real voice of algalon?
Is there a link to the assassination rogue spec you referenced for Kologarn and Auriaya?
just go on wowhead and look at recommended talents for assassination - it's the 2nd one labeled "aoe spec"
you can find all kinds of different talent builds on the discord linked in the video description
Samon you are the best, I thank you for your guides
My pleasure!
Cool video. On Kologarn, my raid always tells me not to stand in front of him but you do the opposite in the video. How do you not die?
You just can't be the first in melee range, once a tank is in melee range you'll be safe from everything other than the rubble
@@Kristopherredford ah ok. So that's where Feint comes into play right?
@@nyrangers9440 it certainly helps!
@@Kristopherredford ty!
Thanks for the video, great tips.
Thanks for your work. Rogue brother.
Liked and Subbed for P2
ty a lot mate!
hahaha I hope algalon is still hired please we need Part 2 ! poor algalon
thank you daddy algalon
hatguy did it again
great job algalon
Vanish not working in classic hardcore, I felt that =(
You actually combat for Ignis?
my raid needs combat debuffs ?????????? of course im combat lol
Excellent
What is this 45/21/5 spec? Can't find it anywhere.
look in discord from the video description
Simon has the biggest brain and an even bigger ofc
thanks brooo!!!
Also wearing a hat increases your dps don't forget
Great video although I dont like the Leviathan bullying... he is just out there doing his best ya know? If anyone deserves bullying it should be the engineers who created him lol
Based
Thanks Algalon
