love your videos dude. Seriously you are not only helping the rogue community but just straight up entertaining to watch. I understand you wait for quality videos and not quantity but I look forward to more from you. I'd love to see what your views are on builds/gear for other popular DPS classes like hunter or warrior leading into next phase even though i'm a die hard rogue. Can't wait to catch a twitch stream too, had no idea you went live!

[@giacomobergonzi4906]

Dig Rat advice is fantastic, knew everything else but i love to still learn new stuff. Subbed

[@Ishamael8]

Can this not be used to give yourself 40% crit buff on ambush etc in pvp?

[@TheIndignation]

As someone who also plays marksman hunter I really enjoy the windfury timing swing timer minmax. I just love the rhythm game type stuff. Same thing with Envenom here and in WOTLK-Assassination. I enjoy when the timing of your button presses can improve things a little bit.

[@Trambolin111]

I think the auto attack timing is still worth practicing, you will have to spend some time watching the timer at first but your muscle memory will learn the rythm quite quickly so i think a few days of practice doing a little worse will be worth it considering its something you will keep doing for a long time and better to do your training now than at 60

[@Rave.-]

It's worth doing even with just Sword Spec and no WF. I used to do this in Classic as a Human and it just became muscle memory. Helps you be patient for pooling energy too.

there is even more stupid things you can do with dig rat, that item is kinda crazy. warriors can hit it for rage, druids and warriors can charge towards it without killing it, probably more i dont even know

[@Packallama]

@@SimonizeShowA rogue used it to solo Patchwerk back in OG Wrath by shadowstepping to the rat onto a pipe above the boss to wait for evasion CD. There is a video of it on YT. Pretty degenerate stuff. 😂

[@az9498]

Idk about the sinister strike weaving. Imagine you do that then your saber slash misses or gets parried and the bleed falls off. That'd be a major damage loss.

[@SimonizeShow]

yeah thats another reason i don't do it, but people love to comment on my videos and sometimes even insult me saying im bad because i dont sinister/saber weave.

[@grilledleeks6514]

​@user-sm9mb6ms5j lol. Parsing in bfd. 60% of everyone's damage is auto attacks you clown. No one cares

[@terave1337]

​@@SimonizeShowI wouldn't worry about it. The top parsing rogue doesn't SS weave on every boss (he cast it 5 times across all bosses, once on Kelris and four times on Aku'Mai) and if the "best in the world" doesn't use it all the time, neither should middling players unless they really think they can pink parse it.

[@bobomber]

Off topic here but... I have heard you say that during the original release you decided that Cataclysm was garbage and never played retail again. What exactly didn't you like about it? I'm trying to figure out whether or not to continue playing after Wrath. Maybe this would make a good topic for a video? Thank you :)

[@travishurst3919]

The mechanical greench you can get from greatfather winter slaps pretty hard as well.

[@Bokkievanhall]

Fantastic content man

[@DoCKathos]

Vanish removes movement impairing effects which is good for phase 2 of kelris, especially if you're using FAPs. Get chains, use FAP, vanish, immune to chains for the rest of the phase. I don't know how chains works exactly, but I assume when you vanish it's only removing it from you and not anybody else.

[@Andaluz91]

I'm just curious, as the Deadly Brew rune adds AP to your poisons, wouldn't that mean that your Deadly Poison can also be snap-shot early on in the fights? I also wonder if you only have to snap-shot the first application or if you need to reach 3 and 5 stacks before the window closes?

[@wowclassicplus]

what is your opinion about using envenom with 2-3 combo when you see your stacks running out or if they just don't want to build up? also, envenom crits seem very high, is bleed beeing equal in dmg considered the crits? or can bleed crit too?

[@NOHITJEROME]

my mailbox is full of LIVE RATS please advise on a solution

[@sage798]

Our parse lord greench is unhappy not being mentioned....

[@Shokatuqt]

Was the whistle removed from the loot table ? Because I went with a group last night in there, and although it took us 1hour to kill boss(trash respawns too fast, probably intended change by blizz), the boss died and gave us pepehands. Strategy I used? I specced into tank, and had 65% avoidance and tanked the boss. A hunter pet got one hyena, and another rogue tanked the 2 other hyenas. As soon as aggro was established on the 3 hyenas, we just focused down boss. Obviously this was so much easier back in the day when pets were the ultimate tanks and also did insane dmg with scorpid stings.

[@SimonizeShow]

I was told by multiple people you can't go into SM anymore, I did not check myself. It sounds like maybe that was not correct if you were in there just yesterday.

[@giacomobergonzi4906]

For windfury timing it's possible to make a WA that highlighs abilities for 0.8 sec when an auto gors off i think, it's not perfect but u don't rly need to pay attention anymore, not that much

[@luislazzarotti1930]

[@Dexterity07]

nice tips, btw how worth is to use Envenom without using the Envenom buff towards the end of a fight? Is it better to just use Envenom at the last second, or a few seconds before and then 1-2 Saber Slashes but utilizing the Envenom Buff? Thanks

[@SimonizeShow]

Yeah envenom is mostly about the upfront damage, its definitely your best move in the final 2-3 seconds of a boss fight

[@isiroth]

Damn bro, that's some sweat!

[@Frankenstein786]

Is mutilate viable? 30 energy per combo point plus double strike with buff vs poisoned targets seems really strong but everyone’s running saber slash.

[@SimonizeShow]

saber slash bleed is just too good

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

question on envenom... the tooltip says the damage is based on number of poison stacks and only the duration of the poison application buff is based on the combo points... why not cast this with lower combo points any time you don't need points for slice and dice? You get to 5 stacks faster using this finish move and if you already have 5 stacks then it should be doing max damage right? based on the tooltip at least

[@SimonizeShow]

the tooltip shows higher damage for more combo points when you look at the section that says what it does for each combo point

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

@@SimonizeShow that section says damage per dose of poison I believe... not per combo point, but it does seem lower damage with less combo points. I think they should update the tooltip to better clarify.

[@qikink1]

​@@SomeGuyFromUtah there's a line in the tooltip that says it activates one dose per combo point

[@1cdev]

How do you know when you have full stack of Deadly Poison? Is there a more obvious way than looking at their avatar?

[@Bravery469]

You can get a weak aura that tracks it. There are nameplate addons that track it as well, but I would suggest the weak aura. Some of the bosses nameplates are hard to see.

[@mortennielsen5441]

I like it !

[@koloignanov3091]

im running improved snd and im wondering if 1-2 points snd on bosses that are dying fast or gelihast where i dont rly get full duration of snd is it worth it to use it? or should i stick with 5cp envenom? talking for baron aquanis, lady sarevess, gelihast

[@SimonizeShow]

yeah, lower point SND are ok - the main thing is make sure you are attacking and benefiting from the full duration of the SND you use

[@ronpaz9655]

assuming its time to use envenom (slice still up, pulled energy, got 5 CPs) and i only have 3-4 deadly stacks : should i use envenom or wait for 5 deadly stack? (and by waiting going over 100 energy/using saber slash while having 5 CPs already)

[@Dgnine]

It depends on the life of the boss id say. If he just about to die u think u dont have time to get energy and get last point to get full combos id use it. Otherwise Id wait.

[@mrloqqe1610]

@@Dgnine what about eviscerate? i thought that would be the move in this case (everything up&ready, only missing enough DP stacks)? afaik envenom is really only good with 5 stacks DP. it falls off pretty quickly with less than 5. in OPs scenario with 3 stacks of DP i definitely cast eviscerate instead. with 4 stacks i probably still cast envenom, bc buff, or i might wait for 1-2 more auto attacks.

[@RobotronOG]

Which UI are you using?

[@SimonizeShow]

[@Shokatuqt]

can anyone confirm that you cannot enter SM anymore? talking strictly about library where houndmaster boss is

[@ninebreaker8]

Is it worth it to put off saber slash until you have maximum AP? such as, opening with a sinister strike and waiting to gain battle shout from warriors before snapshotting saber slash

[@grilledleeks6514]

No. Get your bleed stacks asap

[@trevorsponsler]

Do you think the ap snapshot on saber slash makes orc significantly stronger than troll? I know it’s sod anything can happen, but if Sabre slash stays like that then I imagine a full uptime snapshot is a whole lot stronger than 10 seconds of haste, even at 60

[@trevorsponsler]

Also you’re the goat I appreciate what you do 🙌🏽 Merry Christmas and wish you the best

[@Burlehmangus]

Nahhhh. Minmaxing berserking timing will be farrrr better, especially at 60. Don’t forget blood fury is BASE ap… at 60 it’s kind of garbage. Gaining like 20 ap at 60 is nowhere near as good as minmaxing zerking for massive 20-30% haste gains. Especially when you factor in running deadly brew so you have poisons AND winfury. (More applications/procs)

[@CokeDrinker1001]

Is the dig rat 1 time use?

[@SimonizeShow]

yes, but you can very rarely loot another dig rat off of the corpse of the one you spawned and killed

[@brandonkruse6412]

@@BobbySagman Parsing in Classic WoW is probably the silliest thing I’ve ever seen.

[@idkidgaf]

9:15 is just ridiculous, you're going out of your way to get a slice and dice up literally 1 second quicker. U ain't parsing off that alone.

[@SimonizeShow]

ok it seems like you aren't understanding whats happening. the benefit is not only "getting slice and dice up literally 1 second quicker", it is that AND being able to spend those combo points on something else to deal damage, and having to spend less energy during the fight on slice and dice, which again can be spent on something else to deal damage.
