Was I getting trolled as far as tier sims being out goes 😦 I don't see them in either sheet

#

should I pretend that the spore colony in the single target sims is swapped out for boots for similarly ranked results on the spreadsheet?

#

just for my head canon at the moment

Ww monks simmed like 129k tho

prob a bit outdated then

Live simc has them at 126 rn

Numbers at least close but questionable still

Oh nvm then

The person said that everything below frost mage isn’t optimized yet

hardy lance

and the ww sim that was 129k i made to 🙂

Hello fellow sinners.
I saw the aberrus rankings and while that’s not decisive, is it at least accurate?

inland dirge
#

which rankings lol

true basalt
#

Idk what logs is it using xD

#

Tell me this is wrong

#

Cuz i hate outlaw with my heart

starege outlaw or ret, pick your favourite

snow hamlet
blazing jewel
#

was also when bomb dispenser was op or ww wouldnt be that high

snow hamlet
#

And outlaw roll 95

true basalt
#

Tbh yeah, they’re a bit too high. They should be thankful they at least APPEAR here

blazing jewel
#

using "overall" ptr logs is very vague

#

was there a minimum fight time on that

#

what bosses

true basalt
#

Yeah thats what i said, its not accurate at all

#

The only accurate ranking is demo lock

vestal wren
#

they used old raid testing data including buggy outlaw tier

true basalt
#

Ah okay

#

Goooood

blazing jewel
#

most classes changed since ptr a lot of that is irrelevant now ptr was for making sure the bosses functioned correctly

vestal wren
#

lets say it this way

#

if people say "all that matters is real testing"

#

they usually mean that they build their opinion based on raid testing

#

and don't use simc as a data point

#

but given the amount of changes after and during raid testing

true basalt
#

Imma play assa anyway , even if its the last dps, even if it has tank dmg, idc idc idc

vestal wren
#

you already see how this isn't a great option

#

because going from the above, that is build on raid testing data

#

outlaw is by far the best rogue and overall top 3 dps spec

#

but the detail that is missing is that their tier set was buggy for most of raid testing

blazing jewel
#

sub tag but committing sin OMEGAKEKW

vestal wren
#

the consequence is that outlaw shows up very high

true basalt

just joking my guy

Delete dtb, better solution

Dtb is a bit dull, I wouldnt mind that really

Legion era poison boy build. Kingsbane buff, poison bomb buff, deadly poison is top dam, let's go

royal lantern
#

dtb might aswell be "do X%more dmg" dracthyr_shrug

cold spoke
royal lantern
#

those are called spec traitors

true basalt
#

A giga chad commits to one spec

#

And doesnt change around meta

royal lantern
#

1trick, assa+sub or outlaw

#

those are your options

#

Assassin is best girl, Sub is for world quests, outlaw is if you hate yourself

blazing jewel
#

world quests gross

true basalt
#

On rogue u got

  • spec that cannot do the same dmg like other two specs
  • spec that uses st rotation on aoe ( and rocks on both)
  • spec that spams whatever and is still top dps with 1 button
ornate aspen
#

All 3 are a mess. Rogue needs some love, idk what happened during SL but I swear this class was great when I left

winter gale
#

I feel worse when I join this channel 😂

ornate aspen
#

I dont even see rogues anymore in game. Class dead

#

Been running heroics on all my alts. Every group has an evoker or 3, not a single yellow boi

balmy condor
#

And the burst is actually much higher than dtb

royal lantern
#

and probably a decent amount is m+ only outlaw alts

ornate aspen
#

Already being the weakest spec, then taking another 2% off the top just for an engaging talent feels uber bad tho

royal lantern
ornate aspen
#

Yes

royal lantern
#

rogue, then monk, followed by warlock and priest

What're we like 5%? Something like that

where are the stats for that

#

out of curiosity

ornate aspen
#

Hunters are like 15

#

I tried to find it but looks like the site is gone. RIP. Warcraft logs can probably give a reasonably accurate estimate tho

#

Raideio too

deft flicker
#

This seems a bit odd

#

I thought a lot more people would try the new dragon class

royal lantern
#

try yes

#

stay no

#

new class=low player count always

#

people dont suddenly drop their mains they had for years

#

even DH was low for a good while

rapid forum
#

Yea, new class always needs some time to balance itself out

midnight mist
#

is that why rogue is so low

#

quite a new class just need a bit of time

royal lantern
#

no, people just hate rogue

rapid forum
#

I honestly don't know why rogue is and always has been such a low played class

royal lantern
#

unironicaly, the thing is simply: 99% of the wow Playerbase are ultra casuals

midnight mist
#

I mean look at hunter count

tawny bloom
#

theres not a lot that holds you playing rogue

royal lantern
#

and those people like "knight shiny armor" more than "sneaky dirty tricks guy"

tawny bloom
#

hunter you just collect pokemon

royal lantern
# tawny bloom hunter you just collect pokemon

and thats why MM sucks HARD

lone wolf is a giant mistake man

pets are THE hunter thing, and then 1spec just throws it away and even suffers from it cus of how hunter heroism works lol

tawny bloom
#

ive been saying this since wod when they also reworked pet identities

winged quail
#

!whispyr

#

😮

deft flicker
#

I quite liked MM being a proper bowman/gunner spec without

#

Might be just me though

tawny bloom
#

its fun to play when you dont have to be the lust, if you are the lust you get depressed

deft flicker
#

Yeah

tawny bloom
#

and also the fact that you cant properly 2 cleave. If group is doing baby pulls you lose so much damage coz for w/e reason there have to be atleast 3 targets for mm to get trick shots

#

while on the other hand you get beast cleave the moment you press multishot

slow tulip
#

is the night elf's shadowmeld any good for pve ?

deft flicker
#

As a hunter you can always guarantee having at least 3 targets Cheesin

tawny bloom
royal lantern
#

can be decent for m+

#

but

#

you play a elf then

slow tulip
#

do you use like a specific macro with the shadowmeld or ?

#

🤔

rapid forum
#

Just play what you think looks best. If you have to ask about it, it's not relevant

oak sky

wait its actually kinda wild that rogue is like less than half of most other classes

#

being unpopular i already knew

#

but thats like next level unpopular

no wonder they don't hear us Sadge

oak sky
#

thats not how the game works really

#

people play whatever

royal lantern
#

its litearlly just

#

people dont like "im the sneaky guy" in RPG's

#

its always less popular

cobalt flame
#

Thats literally best RPG playstyle tho Sadge

royal lantern
#

there is a reason why fighter is the most played DnD class

rocky ruin
oak sky
#

people like vanilla shit

#

warrior paladin

#

hunter

#

druid is probably popular because it has all 4 roles

deft flicker
#

More like because lore

royal lantern
tawny bloom

deft flicker
royal lantern
#

like, the 4least played classes are "sneaky guy, martial artist monk, dark magic user and healer"

#

i wonder why

#

maybe because those are less popular RPG tropes

royal lantern
#

like, only as a cd

slow tulip
#

where do you see this statistic btw of rogues being les played ?

#

thx in advance

#

From some wow forum post

I linked it a bit earlier

slow tulip

thx a lot

deft flicker
#

Most of the druids I’ve seen are moonkins. Not sure if that even counts as furry

tawny bloom
#

i mean owlbeasts are also fur/feather thing so that counts as furry

deft flicker
#

Fair point

true basalt
#

Im always the healer/sneaky/dark magic user guy in rpgs, even on lol i main support(enchanters) , i only play evelynn jg , and sometimes mid

right on

If i may ask Whisp, would u use a second stat stick trinket over something with agility and shit on use/on chance

balmy condor
#

90% of the time it’s

  1. Get higher ilvl dagger
  2. It replaces main hand
  3. Old Main hand goes into offhand
  4. Repeat

Hi, which spec is better for raid?

pine dew

like lets say i got a trinket with 600 crit

balmy condor
pine dew
#

can that way heavier

inland dirge
pine dew
#

yea im guessing by the time all is said and done

balmy condor
#

But in general it’s just whatever sims higher

pine dew
#

those things are obsolete by default simply because you cant touch the ilvls the other trinkets do

right on, thank you greatly!

i'm torn between sticking to sin and swapping to spriest, and i have to raid lead this tier

honestly?

spriest

#

raidleading as ranged is way way more easy

#

you actually can see everyone

oak tangle
#

yeah, just somewhat need to learn spriest compared to sin is all

royal lantern
#

as melee dps, you dont know what actually is haplening behind you

oak tangle

but it seems simple enough that it'd be doable

you’ll also see yourself on the meters as spriest

Does anyone know how accurate parses are by specific item level. In my bracket I'm a 55 but in my specific ilvl I'm an 80 and wanted to know if that's like a statistics are fucky wucky when the sample size is too small or if 2 ilvl is that big of a deal

royal lantern
#

ilvl Parse should be fully ignored

#

its a worthless statistic

idle inlet
#

That's a wild take

tight fox
royal lantern
#

no, it isnt a wild take

#

its straight up a fact lol

tight fox
#

unless you're way under geared

royal lantern
#

@spice spire need help, people dont belive me again pepehands

idle inlet
#

Then why does my parse go up when I get more gear did I suddenly become better?

spice surge
#

Ilvl parses arent good because ilvl isnt a good metric of your characters power

#

For example you can be 420 ilvl right now without having any raid trinkets, but if you have raid trinkets and a 424 dagger (but like a pair of 415 boots to weigh down your average) you'll do significantly more

tight fox
spice surge
tight fox
#

its an indication if you press buttons good given what you have

#

xD

spice surge
#

Because if all of your gear is 400 but your weapon is 424, youll do massively more damage than somebody that has all 400 but 424 bracers

#

Yet you have the same ilvl

tight fox
#

sure, but thats an outlier which exist in normal parses too

slow needle
#

Eleem is kinda right though. Take 2 415 characters played to the exact same level of skill. Give one mythic eranogg ring and BiS trinkets along with as high an ilvl weapon that you can without going above 415 avg ilvl.

tight fox
#

how many 95-100 will be like that?

spice surge
#

No? Atleast not after a while

slow needle
#

And see the difference.

tight fox
#

again, outlier

#

not the norm

spice surge
#

Yes

#

It is the norm

#

Thats the thing

slow needle
#

Its an illustration.

tight fox
#

this is what happens when I ask for sims xD fml

idle inlet
#

Ok but then normal parses are also useless by these arguments

tight fox
#

get this instead

slow needle
tight fox
#

cant log in rn

#

#

also my rouge isnt 100% geared per se yet, ive stones waiting in bags

slow needle
#

Shouldn't need to log in. Just grab your char from armory.

tight fox
#

ill have a look at it later

#

curious how useful it would be for that boss that jumps between platforms

#

compared to playing mage or another rouge spec

spice surge
#

But if you still believe ilvl parses are relevant you can search for the dozens of times its been mentioned before here and find countless people saying roughly what me and tryan is saying but formulated differently

tight fox
#

that doesnt mean much to me

shrewd night
#

Man, you're cooked if you think ilevel parses hold signifcant value

tight fox
#

if you get 100s of people telling you 2+2 is 5 i cant help you

tight fox
#

was pretty clear in what I said, which wasnt that

raven merlin
#

if overall pharses are higher their matters, if the ilvl pharses are higer their matters, EZ

Oven dont work, try the other one.

night delta
shrewd night
#

Just to reiterate. Eleem is hundred percent right when saying itemlevel is not a good metric for player power or performance. Which makes ilevel parsing incredibly inconsistent and based on missing information. Parsing in general is a tip of the iceberg view of performance. If you arent willing to look deeper than the color of the number of your parse yall are already barking up the wrong tree. On the same token, parsing can be a very good metric if you are aware of the pitfalls and have absorbed the information available in a log. Thanks for my tedtalk, see you next week when we talk amore about the topic of "where bis list pls".

tight fox
#

its not a perfect metric but still useful, I never claimed otherwise

spice surge
#

Its not useful, thats what we are saying

tight fox
#

help yourself, doesnt bother me

night delta
#

I mean, a power cord extender on itself is not useful either

tight fox
#

idk why people are making out that im fighting for it to be THE guide metric

night delta
#

but it can be useful in conjunction with appliances

tight fox
#

indeed

shrewd night
spice surge
#

Well youre comparing the usefulness of different unplugged appliances to one that has power

#

Idk, cook up conclusions from your ilvl parses if you want to

torn atlas
#

!Whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
tight fox
#

its not worth explaining

#

If you get why it can have significance when other things aren't available to you at face value while acknowledging pitfalls such as a weapon being an outlier otherwise it doesn't matter

spice surge
#

Its not only weapons

night delta
spice surge
#

Its trinkets, tier, embellishments, enchants, different slots

royal lantern
#

man, you say that while 4people tell you with examples why its not a good thing thing

spice surge
#

So they arent outliers

#

Theyre the norm

shrewd night
#

"Id have a 100 parse if I had all this other gear 2ez"

tight fox
#

what examples have you given? personal anecdote?

tight fox
#

none of that was said, but w/e

royal lantern
#

like, i got a 100ilvl 2days ago on kurog

its not really worth much cus it was against 4people at that time lol, and overall was 86

tight fox

But then how is the info useful

spice surge
#

Im interested in hearing your why your take is wildly different than literally everybody elses

tight fox
night delta
#

I get and agree that ilvlparse is easily muddied up by a lots of factors, but playing devil's advocate here, Grim isn't arguing it's always useful ; the converstation starter was someone claiming it is utterly worthless (as in, never useful), and grim disagreeing on that

tight fox
spice surge
#

Yes i now

night delta
#

he even paraphrased Koffing about it being useful when considering the right info

spice surge
#

And we said yes, it is always useless

#

Because what he considers outliers arent outliers, theyre the norm

tight fox
#

🤡

night delta
#

just to make sure, there's not just a we and him

shrewd night
#

Let me clarify

night delta
#

there are more nuanced takes all over

tight fox
#

multiple people typing... what have I done

spice surge
#

Analyzing your logs to improve = Useful
Comparing your ilvl rankings to somebody else = not useful

shrewd night
#

Parsing in general can be good if pitfalls are considered, ilevel parses should be abolished.

peak bobcat
#

All koffing is saying is if you’re trying to see how good you’re doing in comparison to someone else is by looking at ilevel parses, then you are looking at the wrong metrics to begin with

#

He’s not saying there is no information to be gained, there’s just better information elsewhere in a log

tight fox
#

which wanst what was said

peak bobcat
#

If you’re 20 ilevels below the rank 1s and you’re grey parsing overall but you’re 100 parsing ilevel then in that situation it’s useless

shrewd night
#

When I think Im home free yall drag me right back in again exasperatedPepe

night delta
peak bobcat
#

I mean if you don’t have at least decent gear why are you trying to parse anyways

shrewd night
#

What was said was "ilevel parsing can be useful as an indicator if you press buttons well with what you have" which is false. If you want to see if you can push buttons well, sim yourself and try to replicate on dummies. If you want useful information from a log, ilevelparsing is doo-doo.

night delta
#

like in your example : i overall grey because i'm 20 ilvl below BiS and cannot hope to push even into green, let alone blue. Am I doing something wrong ? who tf knows shrug

shrewd night
#

I mean, unless you are a warlock, because that APL is just cursed thousand times over.

tight fox
#

typing out a 100 line what if else argument isnt worth it

Fun fact a lot of the top parses don’t even play perfectly!

night delta
#

Handling rotation vs dummy and handling rotation vs Boss with abilities is a wildly different beast tbf

tight fox
#

yup, not to mention cheesing etc

night delta
#

you can be perfect on dummy but having a hard time concentrating on both rotation + mechanics, and your dps suffering because of that

There is a pretty distinct difference between "I just want to see if I can press buttons well" and "I did this fight mechanically well"

#

spice surge
#

If you want to improve your logs you'd use a tool like https://lorrgs.io/ to compare your cooldown and casts to the top logs to see what and how they handle things differently

#

(or just check the log itself, but this is easier)

#

Looking at your overall ilvl parse provides no value or context to improving

tight fox
spice surge
#

Because the "top log" in your ilvl bracket is likely playing it very incorrectly as well

#

So you would rather copy the overall top log

shrewd night
#

There are even compare tools within warcraftlogs where you can find a log of similar raid-size (if thats relevant) and kill time which would provide more answers than a ilevel parse would.

spice surge
#

So im asking, in what situation is ilvl parses useful

shrewd night
#

I know, I know. "People see what they want to see."

spice surge
#

For what purpose are they useful

tight fox
#

a basic indicator if you dont have ilv

spice surge
#

A base indicator of what

tight fox
#

not something that you use as a sole indicator of performance as was said by someone above

shrewd night
#

Brethren

#

spice surge
#

What does ilvl parses accomplish that arent already accomplished by the regular parses?

tight fox
#

you're taking a comment and creating a thread out of it xD

tight fox
spice surge
#

Indicator of what

shrewd night
#

Probably just as basic of an indicator as a speedometer on a car being able to tell you what the max speed of your car is.

#

Speedometer goes to 250, so thats the max speed

#

But, Ima leave it at that. Keep thinking ilevel parses are useful if thats your jam. See you next week for the scheduled "where bis list" talk when raid hits.

tight fox
#

if you need to reframe what was said as a coping mechanism then you do that

shrewd night
#

People see what they want to see.

Wouldn't Ilvl parses be useful to get a quick understanding of a players skill level recruiting wise. Cuz even with perfect gear for your ilvl you can still grey parse and even with terrible gear for your ilvl you can still get blues

there is ofc always a decent amount of RNG involved when it comes to parsing

Its also dependant on fights, a lot of people will be able to do well on terros but might struggle on a fight with more intensive mechanics

Will there be any fight in 10.1 where Assa actually could shine? Some kind of shield(or other) that requires burst?
I mean, considering the 4PC bonus + KB+Sepsis+Double Shiv, Assa would really do high damage in a short time.

#

I'm just trying to understand Blizzard's thinking(why did they buff KB in the first place, when DTB is just better in almost every scenario possible and come up with such an idea with this 4PC bonus).

# pseudo hamlet Will there be any fight in 10.1 where Assa actually could shine? Some kind of sh...

I think the short answer is no, because sin doesn't even shine on 2-3 targets as we're used to. The only thing that comes in handy for us is our execute I think. But I'm not deep enough into the guides to tell if that will benefit us. Also, if the overall dmg is mediocre, even that is pretty much useless.

I think blizz buffed it (KB) to make it better and 'listen to the community'. The fact that it's still undertuned is definitly their intention imo. KB makes aoe even worse for us in st setup and I guess it's another CD for a quite cd-overbloated spec. So they want DTB to stay for now

But that's just my thoughts
