ROGUE SOLOS PATCHWERK(25) : JIDERSTEP

[@Zyrakris]

"Weekly Raid is Patchwerk? Cool, let me just go get that done." "Who are you grouping with?" "No one."

[@amagdenovski]

Jezus Christ the tracks used in this video make it so damn good. Even after all these years I keep coming back to it. At first I was watching and rewatching due to the impressive feat. Now, 10 years later, the tracks used just make me shiver.

[@samuelgraves6931]

i workout to this

[@aspirezakura]

Mad respect for this guy. Shows some sick commitment and ingenuity.

[@ilikepiedontu]

God I miss these types of videos, I used to watch them all the time for the music and mesmerized by the skill.

[@MegaChickenfish]

So THAT'S why blizzard added a Dig Rat pet for rogues. Alas, without the same functionality.

[@Soulcakeduckling]

@JsRf13 Wrong. This is covered in the video description as well, but here you go: Shadowmelding or Vanishing will cause the boss to *reset*. He will rapidly run back to the position he was pulled from. He will not gain any life until he reaches that reset position. He gets pulled again before he reaches that point. Since pulling the boss also aggroes the trash, vanish always follows shadowmeld, and prep is saved in case the trash doesn't reset.

[@LeoCoot]

Excellent job young night elf !

[@samuelgraves6931]

This vid is one of the most elite gaming moments ever. Extremely high IQ to work this shit out. Even more to execute it.

[@LynnIronLightning]

god i miss this dude, he was such a boss rogue in my server until cata launched, it was fun playing the game just by seeing jider there, it's weird that everybody seemed to like him without being jealous or anything, everybody wanted a piece of his guild impervious, even i myself wanted to raid with them, the whole game became shit as soon as his guild disbanded... kinda felt empty and was discouraged to get geared to get qualified to join their guild, even though i used to have most of my gear heroic 25 man icc geared. hello jider, im sylvenas the nelf rogue, if you ever remember me lol.

[@indulge78]

i remember u i was cicero a NE hunter

[@kingslime212]

You, sir, are incredible. I have no doubt in my mind that this will take quite some time for somebody to top this.

[@MrSpookersMcGeeThe1st]

And on that day, all that dropped was warrior gear. Ah nuts. lol

[@G102Y5568]

This is one of the most brilliant uses of game mechanics I have ever seen. I am incredibly awestruck by your brilliance in using all of these different tools to your advantage, half of which I have never even heard of. You deserve a million/5 stars.

[@tipsysmichigander6483]

He stood still and didn't do anything... Hope you don't play wow today.

[@JohnAlpha1]

@@tipsysmichigander6483 ahh look it is! It’s tipsy.. I’ve been watching you for 8 years now.. it’s almost 2023 it’s time

[@ddillybar1]

The intro on this is fucking ridiculous, almost two minutes are you kidding?

[@AgeSkywall]

As i play a rogue, i give you respect for knowing your class. well planed,well fought,well done.

[@MrZodiark]

how is this exploit, blizzard made item in game that is droppable NPC, that can be shadowstepped on to, blizzard didnt know this could ever happen, so this guy outsmarted entire blizzard team by thinking this.

[@JTNugget]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_exploit Geometry Taking advantage of how the game world is built. Typically the goal of these exploits is to reach normally inaccessible areas or take unintended shortcuts in the game world. These are commonly achieved by going through walls, crossing invisible barriers made by the programmers, or scaling ledges not intended to be climbable.

[@superscope27]

Jider was a badass, I miss the old BC and early WotLK Impervious

[@ChibiHoboProductions]

"Clever use of game mechanics."

[@JTNugget]

A euphemism for exploiting

[@ruthlessscorp]

the preparation was amazing, your methodology was sick. i love this.

[@Notsogoodguitarguy]

1,5 minutes of intro....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ttoooo long

[@Tuxcz]

4 hours 45 mins kill I guess 90s intro is ok

[@rand0mcharact3r5]

dude, the amount of concentration to pull off this stunt would've been insane. not to mention the preparation. good fucking job! brilliant.

[@__kewlaudia__]

Jider ! It's me lol.. text me.

[@audiophil92]

@havebraintoday Its written in the description; when he vanishes Patch goes into evade mode and runs back to his original spot to reset health, before he reaches the spot the Rogue picks him up again. This resets the enrage timer.

[@Drysart]

@UNCMed If you read the description, you'll see he drops combat regularly to avoid the enrage timer, and so during that time he can eat to retain the well fed buff.

[@Kraterge]

This clever use of mechanics and solo on patchwerk is 100% real. You assume that this was done with mechanics that we are all fermiliar with, yet Jiders solo on this boss as well as C'thun is the reason for the blizz updates to the enrage timer and health/ encounter reset... also the reason for the add pulls for patchwerk. Just because it cant be done anymore this way doesnot mean it isnt real. Nice win Jider Great Theorycraft..

[@doubleas2380]

Amazing use of game mechanics to manage this. Thanks for recording it and posting it for all of us to see!

[@stormtrooper7777]

Amazing job, all of you're thought and hard work you put into this has paid off.

[@BTMikeMan]

Love the video production, very well done. Incoming Shadow Step nerf and/or Patchwerk being tethered to his room in 5...4....3...2....

[@Malafir]

Dude. You are a hero of rogues EVERYWHERE.

[@Anthro0]

Damn, i remember watching this when it came out... time flies

[@Jimmykane7]

This was a great video. This proves that many things are possible when people know their class inside out. You also gave me 2 new songs to add to my library! Congrats on the kill, I wish we had more people with your skill on the server that I play on.

[@shoover56]

that jump at the end was fucken hilarious, if thats a tribute to a certain tv series / movie that i wont tell then thats awesome

[@lolzmanface]

Ok mate you look to be extremely creative and just to think of these methods is quite interesting... very clever I must say. Absolutely great tactic and I believe we'll be seeing some more from you in the future.

[@Lifeofamurloc]

3 Hours Wiping on Patchwerk - Progression 2 hours wiping on Lootship - Failure of a Pug 5 hours Soloing Patchwek - Dedication

[@Incog-nito]

I tip my hat to you sir. You have a lot more patience than any person I know! Lol. Well done!

[@MacKeyser]

@trclocke That's why he used the hand mounted pyro rockets... when he reset, he'd have to go BACK to his original pull point before his health would reset. I don't fully understand it, but that was key to being able to reengage him before he reset his health.

[@Loika693]

@migarawins It says in the last paragraph of the video description, they're all self buffs. Drums of Forgotten Kings, Drums of the Wild, Runescroll of Fortitude, Scroll of Agility VIII, Flask of Endless Rage, Blackened Dragonfin.

[@LandsoulWoW]

Impressive theorycrafting and dedication.

[@wn97jz]

@Gegi1992 This technique involves an Unconscious Dig Rat which is considered a critter and it is just like any other rat/critter in game except for the fact you can drop it where you like and it stays put and lasts until it is killed or the server is restarted. hes using that, can see the rat in the vid if you look close enough

[@toks1c]

Jider from stormreaver, manafury says hi and tells you to get the main hand. Nice video.

[@Memnochenkil]

Nuts that is insane. You put some crazy serious time into that.

[@Hean]

Damn..just....Alright, respect to this nightelf, even though i'm undead, I have to give my huge respects to this one.

[@derekmorris89]

Your opening is freaking sweet dude and omg. You soloed Patchwerk on 25 man O.o. /gasp!

[@Cadentem]

@pythebest {Description =} This technique involves an Unconscious Dig Rat which is considered a critter and it is just like any other rat/critter in game except for the fact you can drop it where you like and it stays put and lasts until it is killed or the server is restarted. You can shadowstep to it just like any other critter

[@Saitekman]

I don't know what is worse, seeing people go out of their way to post negative comments, or someone like you posting about someone else making negative comments. And now I am posting about someone making negative comments making negative comments. ITS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE!

[@SlefmadeAndFriends]

It's been a long while, when i've seen such a good use of game mechanics. Great work, great vid and great music ;) *Thumbs up*

[@RuKorvin]

You had a challenge, and you did it! My respect. Also, 4.5 hours without error is idd incredible too.

[@killpioo2]

Good job man I heard you were a beast back when I was in duality it was kind of depressing the week impervious/duality collapsed

[@qr3ca]

Man rly /bow , i cant imagine such a patience. Strategy which requieres so many hours on focus ... amazing ! GOod Job !

[@ShoM1nam1moto]

@Koroar Where would he need another person? This strategy is hard, almost impossible to re-do, but at the same time, it's 100% perfect with not a chance of wipe if done correctly. Another person wouldn't do much, except like DPS faster and such. He did this really, in five hours, alone. The strategy is wonderful, can't doubt it.

[@Ziphoblat]

That was amazing... I just gained a lot of respect for the Rogue class. Nice job.

[@IamFoxySmile]

@dauwgxx lol, his buffs are Scroll of Agility, Drums of Forgotten Kings, Drums of the Wild and Runescroll of Fortitude, that you can craft for yourself

[@Arceusvids]

@xgt1000 He doesn't teleport. He uses Shadowstep to appear at the Unconscious Dig Rat he's left behind in the tunnel. Don't forget, the rat is still concidered to be a critter, meaning that you can use Shadowstep on it.

[@TheHawtgeek]

Wow, major props on the dedication! Almost 5 hours for a single fight, I woulda called it quits at probably 20minutes. The over all setup of the fight, very cool. I love the comments about you abusing mechanics. How dare you use mechanics that are in place to your advantage, playing a good rogue (in the very least a clever one).

[@betacopy]

@ne14a6t9r2 By pathing him to that point it technically pulls patchwerk out of combat and then when he paths back to the other area it counts as re-engaging him which resets the timer. Not entirely sure how to explain it, but basically he's re-engaging the mob before it returns to its default patrol area and gets auto-healed back to full hp.

[@Mewi987]

the intro absolutley amazing and flawless kill

[@hpbigfan4life]

you are officially my hero in WoW, when my subscription ran out I just wished I did stuff like this instead of sitting around in orgrimmar with triviabot ;(

[@sirds07]

what a great idea. no cheats no exploits, just a smart use of game mechanics. GREAT GREAT! Thats a Jose Mourinho of WoW

[@tariniadoomarenn4369]

👍👍👍👍 Holy KRAPP how did a rogue manage to solo Patchwerk? Surprising video! Patchwerk must've been difficult to kill when that was current.

[@ShinoJereamachi]

@marsman87 if you look at 3:30, he goes out of combat completely by using vanish, it resets the berserk timer, he most likely abbused this and for some reason the boss would still go back to him and not evade.

[@motarozero345]

Man read the description before talking about the buffs, he says in the description: Buffs: Drums of Forgotten Kings, Drums of the Wild, Runescroll of Fortitude, Scroll of Agility VIII.

[@greekstreek370]

@MakeMeASammich Given the fact that nobody has done it before, I would say that it IS unique. Again, he didn't invent shadowstepping to a mob, he invented STRATEGICALLY PLACING A MOB TO SHADOWSTEP TO.

[@ifexx]

Gratz! I'm really impressed :) Must have been tough all these hours^^

[@tehstreetlight]

The song is Velvetine- Safe (Wherever You Are)

[@chattanoogahasfun]

@Prohunter93 his spec was for "cheat death" which would give him time to prep / evasion or any other utility. Still nerve racking.

[@Cunrakes]

@skrili Na, it says in the description of the video that he was shadowstepping a "Unconscious Dig Rat" ;)

[@Brosemon]

Very good job, like how u used shadowstep and all that with a rat,very thought out, u rock :D

[@ShadowSoulKeeper]

@hund4n0kh4n Its a move that rogues have, called Evasion. It has like a 2 minute cooldown, thus one reason why he keeps shadowstepping back and forth [Other being to soft reset his enrage timer].

[@AshleyDDoll]

@Gamer777777 He probably has at least 50% dodge when buffed, then evasion increases his dodge by an additional 50%. In his description, he said he never engages Patchwerk unless Evasion is up.

[@RangerBob64]

pretty impressive, damn cunning use of shadowstep, i havnt got a clue how you get up there with it. My only criticism is, can you solo it the point of being able to engage patchwork or do you need a group to clear trash first then they all bugger of to let you solo him? other than that damn impressive vid

[@ZukinKunai]

Ahhhh.... He keeps dropping combat via vanish to restart the enrage timer. Very smart. Well done.

[@powerwatched]

@hizzouseKakashi Dedictation to the priviae server. If you notice, the rogue EATS during combat. If u engage a boss in any raid, you ALWAYS stay in combat. Even if you vanish or at other end of the instance. Simple bug exploitation on a private server. He coudl not sit downa dn eat, and have an eating buff whiel in fight, cus if he left combat, he cuodn't re-engage the boss until the bosses hp reset to full. Also, notice how the boss NEVER berserked for his 6 minute enrage timer?

[@ShoM1nam1moto]

@Xanadug He used an item(which was hotfixed and made impossible to use right after this video) to summon a rat inside the pipe, so he targetted it and shadowstepped. You can't really see the rat there, but it is there, lol.

[@Wallraff1980]

@watsmyname1 not only that, but at 3:20 you see him vanish enough to leave combat, yet patchverk doesnt reset... seemingly he hasnt lost so much HP it might still be OK, but at 6:00 when our friend rogue even uses vanish to sit down and eat, its clear that Patchwerk doesnt reset.

[@kenshin98899889]

@hosenzieher25 If you took the time to read the note he put in the under bar, you'd understand, learn to read before assuming. He shadowmelds to reset combat on patchwerk, thus reseting the enrage timer. He then hits him before he reset, giving him basically as much time as he wants to solo it

[@Bolleh]

Congratulations, now you have something to put on your CV.

[@Aotd12]

I truly admire this guy. He not only used almost 5 hours of his time killing Patchy, he also spent a lot of time thinking how to solo our beloved piece of meat. Respect for you Jider, even though you're a Night Elf. ;)

[@Buutch11]

Damn, fucking good job mate. I loved the intro and this is insane. GJ man :)

[@terradraca]

@Koby19841 Not exactly. He doesn't regen his health until he returns to his patrol point and this guy would re-engage him before that happened. So he basically cheesed the rest mechanics.

[@paleface171]

lt's not fake it's just a player using his classes strengths and using Patch's weaknesses against umm IT. Planing and using strategy to over come a challenge was used here. lf anything this person was one of the few who played challenge mode before blizz even announced it was gonna be put in game.

[@jaysenedwinward]

@jtjc4life Did you even read the description??? He's a leather worker and used the drums for those buffs. I believe the failboat just left and you were the only passenger.

[@DEUS_VULT_INFIDEL]

You rose to the occasion, respect. You kicked patchwerk's ass!

[@Excubiare]

@jtjc4life Wow, it's hard to read the video description isn't it? Drum of Forgotten Kings, Leatherworking item, gives 8% Kings. Drums of the Wild, give a lesser version of Gift of the Wild. He uses Shadowmeld/Vanish to reset his Enrage timer so he doesn't have to deal with it. So yes, he did solo it. Think before speaking next time.

[@mearly012]

very nice editing mate :) .what programs did you used btw :)?

[@nulkelvin]

@MagusKain Yes it does. Just look at the olympic gymnasts. If they use a move in a unique way for the first time they get their name added to it.

[@jasonaustgen9295]

Amazing. Jider combines the brains to come up with this, the skills to pull it off, and the willpower to carry it out, something very few people can do. Gamer of the year.

[@serge2cool]

Nice vid and amazing tactic mate! You are an amazing soloer! Love the way your character bobs to the music :D

[@Yoshimiko951]

@MakeMeASammich What he's claiming is shadow stepping to a dropped critter from a quest, not shadowstepping to a mob.

[@arconnect0]

Its cuz the fight is ' ending ' when he vanishes, but he catches patch before he full heals and reenters combat.

[@Doma111222333]

@trorisk Read the description, they arnt class buffs they are all buffs from consumables he had stocked up on, they just share the same icon.

[@megglesmac]

@AgentBlueonMw2 its called drums of forgotten kings, and drums of the wild. look it up.

[@italian504]

You have divided by Zero.... Can't wait for an Arthas Solo at 85 :D

[@zorkyborky]

@KedQT There is in Cataclysm. That's why you should have parry and dodge as close as possible

[@Moonface00z]

Does not mean that a player given out his armory means he is not playing on a private server with the same gear If you guys watch the highest quality ... you can see that his dodge rate is 100% and hp reduce only like 200 dmg . Theres no way you can do this plus this is a 25man raid boss it could one hit anyone

[@Shikuto47]

Such patience deserves a thumb up! Good job! Nice video with great music =)

[@trclocke]

@MacKeyser yeah I get that, but in my experience whether or not you can intercept something before it reaches its reset point, if you try it will simply evade your attacks and continue resetting. I'm not sure how this guy got around that.

[@ifexx]

"This cycle is repeated until the boss is dead which resulted in a fight lasting 4 hours 45 minutes on my kill." Actually according to your flasks you were 6,5 hours fighting. 19 flasks at the beginning, 13 at the end with 30 minutes down.

[@ShinoJereamachi]

@milkeza evasion the cooldown, he would teleport up to let the CD on it go away, it gives 80% dodge, so he could keep doing it over and over, and he most likely had 20% dodge already (probably 30%+) but then he had 100% chance to dodge lol.

[@NiPaVou]

Very impressive! There should be some special rewards ingame for such achievements imo : )

[@muddybloody]

you did it, you enjoyed doing it, you are satisfied, thats all that matter, grats mate and gj ^^

[@trclocke]

I didn't realize if something was in the process of resetting you could somehow attack it and reengage it. Every time I've tried it continues to evade until it reaches its reset point.
