"Dps being dead is the biggest Dps loss" truer words never spoken

[@datacntrdude]

I always used to say "Dead DPS does ZERO DPS."

[@brendancrawford9622]

Sheesh this fax fr

[@loppen297]

There is only 1 thing worse than low dps, and thats no dps, cause you cant dps if your dead

[@Lovelyquid]

These guides carried me through ulduar, hats off for your kind work. Thank you. 🙏

[@NorwegianQvirr]

Absolutely amazing guides man, keep it up!

[@samuelturmel3201]

Thank you for all the guides good sir!

[@zebitz]

My boy Joardee got the grooves! Hell yeah brother

[@Brownboy42069]

I think we're all really interested to know how you get those rolling timers in an MRT note!

[@Cosmophile]

Shoutout to the moonKING using Typhoon to push collapsing stars.

[@DonTinker]

Amazing guide, I'm preparing a Herald of the Titans group so this is super helpful!

[@brendancrawford9622]

The guide we want ... the guide we need!!! LETS GOOOO

[@user-sf8ge3mz4m]

Excellent guide. Another thing for people who are just progressing the fight yet - it's totally killable after 6 minute mark in case you're shy of some dps, but you need someone with non-popped Ardent or Guardian Spirit to soak the Enraged Big Bang. After that, do bear bop taunts, gg.

[@trash0risk]

thanks for schoolduar, awesome guides. subbed and liked.

[@alecedgerly1277]

These guides are awesome, thank you for putting them up, also lol at disc priest wack-a-mole “rotation”

[@DrasseL]

Thanks for the guide!

[@adoz07]

as newbie to wow since Classic i appreciate all the videos and insight you provide us noobs to we dont looks as bad in game!

[@Tidalx]

WOW! thank u Joardee for the schoolduar videos we klilled the bosses in the isntance thanks u !

[@100based9]

such a good guide

[@Mavarius89]

Every Guide i made was so well structured. Awesome job. A Big thank you!

[@Joardee]

Glad it helped!

[@Sageathor]

Hey @joardee - Excellent video! What addons are you using on the right and left sides to track the boss mechanics and raid cool downs? Thanks

[@shtroizn]

Geez! We haven't killed Yogg 25 yet and this is giving me a headache! Even before Algalon - getting thru the hard-modes (especially Mimiron) seems like a worthy challenge. Ulduar is arguably the best raid in all of WoW. Genius really.

[@larrybaker4360]

first alg attempt tonight! lets gooooo

[@Myblacknadz]

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

[@--Rich--]

You're the GOAT Joardee

[@araknidlich]

Hey Joardee, these guides have been awesome, thanks so much for making them. Quick question: What is the NOTES addon you have there on the side? Looks super useful. Thanks again!

[@PaulMcHugh95]

Its Method Raid Tools if I recall correctly.

[@yungsmorc6462]

thanks for this, got the kill. are you using healbot?

[@Jessewo]

Great video! I see your pally auras switching back and forth with Devo up sometimes and sometimes not. Which pally is switching their aura? I’m guessing one keeps on shadow resist and the other switches between fire and devo aura? Thanks,

[@SlothsPlayGames]

Love hearing baron make the call at the end of this. Played with him on Elysium and there may not be a more prepared or knowledgeable raider in the world. Good to know he's still at it.

[@relikpL]

Also what bar texture do you use? Looks very clean!

[@wjking5219]

Very nice guide. Thank you.

[@Lotuswalker]

That Addon you use for the timer and abilities on the right is awesome !!! What is it called ?

[@jeffhoward1103]

Very helpful guide! Thank you! What kind of Weak Auras are you using for stars health percentage?

[@Joardee]

That's a weak aura made by Fojji! Join his discord if you want to learn more

[@TastyScotch]

Double cookie. Thats big brain.

Doing algalon for the first time tonight. 15 year holy paladin. I'm fuckin scared boys

[@michaelrondon5472]

What addon are you using to track cooldowns like that? Looks super helpful

[@TheSvister]

Would love to know how do you setup the timers running, if you would explain please

[@jino1859]

Whats the Addon called u can see at 5:08 with all the def cds listed with the timestamps? Rly nice guide btw🔥

[@Ayy.Its.Kruciall]

I play Disc as well

[@slloyd1316]

Do you have a link to the MRT notes for algalon on the right please?

[@mikeybarraclough8223]

What do you use for player/target frames and raid frames?

[@Sheekxtob]

How did you do the CDS notes on the right side? Can you link them somewhere pls?

[@Yedora_Fusion84]

I was wondering if you’d put the boot clip in there! 😂

[@NatsirtMats]

Thanks for these guides! Very helpful. @6:10 How is Pain Suppression cd only 1 min from 4:40 till 5:40? I'm pretty sure PS has a cd of 2m24sec with talents, right? Or am I missing something maybe?

[@BSTechForYou]

I ran to the comments as well.. I must be missing something. Thought the lowest was 2:24 as well

[@Joardee]

Ah I think that was an error! Sorry about tgat

[@NatsirtMats]

@@Joardee ah, that's okay ofc. Thanks again for all these guides. Must have been a lot of work. Best ones available.

[@Die_Quelle]

oh dear, i need this MRT note :d can you paste how you include the timers ?

[@lfgubrs]

Blizzard really went full sadistic mode with the mechanics for this boss.

[@General12th]

He feeds on your tears.

any chance go get the MRT preset with timers?

What is that bloodlust timer, can u share it o: I love it

[@Sarge9272]

what is the first tank CD? used at start?? cannot tell what cooldown that is.

Guys what is that CD timer add-on and is there one I can dow load to auto mark the star ?

[@chriswu1827]

Hi Joardee - would you be willing to share the raw MRT note file for your tank and healing CD's?

[@Zelise1]

What add on are you using to show the star’s health and markers?

[@vane909090]

Looks like ElvUI.

[@edgarguevara6282]

What is the name of the weak aura that shows you all the defensive CDS?

[@redjello666]

what is the star explosion WA / Addon ?

[@Mscmann]

For dps players (who are not killing the stars) the fight is extremely easy, avoid red circles, go to black hole when Big Bang is being cast and just tunnelvision the boss. For healers, tanks and star killers it's insanely more challenging.

[@NobusHK]

what it's name of that addon from middle that anonce the BANG?

[@Zack-dv6rz]

Is it different in 10-man? Because I have seen a new set of stars spawn with stars alive from the previous set.

[@poopnukem4079]

In 10 man at least the stars just spawn on a timer and will always spawn up to 4 i.e. if there is still 1 up then 3 new ones will spawn

[@Maxvla]

@@poopnukem4079 this is the case on 25 man as well

[@ganjatrooper7193]

I have the quest but sadly they are having trouble with HM's to even achieve the goal =(

[@brandoncarlson9452]

Could you explain why using hand of salvation as a tank CD is necessary?

[@stephenmurr8399]

Glyph of Salv makes it to where casting it on yourself gives you a 20% Damage Reduction for the duration. Algalon hits so hard and there is so much damage going out, you want to have as many options as you can. Threat also shouldnt be an issue if your tank is playing well, or gets help on pull from tricks/Misdirection.

[@zvxcnvzcnvzx]

Whos got the WA for the star hp?

[@ThanksIfYourReadIt]

Would you take ulduar + (a form of mythic/heroic version) after Icc near the end of wrath? and put a dead lock on cata like what classic got?

[@Joardee]

Ulduar + hell yeah, idk what you mean by the second part

[@MrLexorate]

Any1 got the song that is starting at 10:30?

[@TheZombinator1]

You said a priest stays out in the big bang, but we dont have a priest (10 man). Is this supposed to be something a tank eats?

[@josephpayne9011]

Divine Sacrifice only affects party members, not the whole raid. is that good enough? it doesn't seem like 5/25 members is good enough, even though it is an obvious time to use it.

[@TheZombinator1]

the 30% dmg transfer to you is to party members, the 20% reduced dmg taken is to the whole raid.

[@Azsunes]

Would call Yogg 0 a harder boss. More guilds have done Algalon than Yogg 0. Also nice kill, cool to see him enraged doing the RP.

[@skoverton5553]

Yogg 0 drops nothing extra besides a mount so people aren’t pulling it as much as well though

[@Azsunes]

@@skoverton5553 Did both myself. It took us longer to get Yogg 0 down. It also isn't just an extra mount, it is also progression position on the server. Which makes it easier to recruit when you have the full raid cleared. We gained a whole 3rd raid a week after getting 3rd alg/yogg 0 on server.

[@Tijuanabill]

Ret pallys: Talk that smack but they still bringing us fam...

[@davidt5194]

Any particular reason why you use hunters as star killers rather than affli/spriest? The latter are much better target swappers

[@janakipejov3667]

Because most raid leaders hate hunters

[@Nthr4xx]

agreed, hunters lose the mana regen from having no JoW on their target, running the risk of going OOM, and need both physical and magical debuffs on their target to deal full damage.

[@Maxvla]

spriest is very nice for this role since their damage is not very spiky so you get consistent explosion timers, compared to say a balance druid who could hit a starfire for 7k or crit for 14k with no control over that.

[@ji604]

Spriest is a little lacking because the stars only have 200k health and there's a long ramp-up for dots - nevermind the fact the stars will be constantly dying on their own. Devouring plague can only affect one target at a time. Shadow word: pain doesn't benefit from haste - our most valuable secondary stat - and is a huge mana sink on anything that won't live for its duration. That and the single target rotation, which you're using on the boss, requires a lot of micromanagement which can easily fall apart with too much swapping. Mind flay is the ultimate filler ability and you lose precious dps on the boss if you aren't maximizing your channels between mind blast and reapplying VT/DP.

Watching this and thinking about my own guild that cant follow simple instructions like "free the NPC from flash freeze" on Hodir Normal mode. Makes me question if my sanity will be intact after Wrath is done.
