so who wants PI? 
Give it to a sub rogue and watch the entire raid roster mald
Demo an outlier tho, yeah?
It’s like demo and one more is wildly out of hand.
While the middle of the pack from 3-18 is pretty well balanced. And the bottom needs a little to come up
It’s only demo, enhance, elemental, fury, destro
Unfortunately rogue in the bottom
Wasn’t fury like 138?
That’s 4th or 5th
Elemental still blasting even after tier nerf yet their tears are still coming
Yeah 138 is fine given most of the middle I feel.
We’re just uh. Outliers on the other side 
a little outdated but
Quite the doomers over there man
Eh almost 140 ain’t it
disclaimer for what?
Your stat prio for the assassination sheet
Nvm they should get like a hair fown
Ty sir
ill just remove it
Yeah that's outdated as hell, fury's in the shitter rn
its 3 days old
they didn't have committed sims when this was made
Bugged to hell and back
its kinda funny how 2 of the specs that literally can only do st
are at the bottom this tier atm
Anyway, this bit seems fine. You could even argue that enhancement is fine since it’s just outside 10% top from the bottom. But I feel 7.5ish (quick maffs don’t check me) seems okay
was a copy/paste mistake i think
because assasssination was always crit > haste or mastery > vers last season
whispyrs top sim is Crit>haste>mast in terms of stat allocation
at what point was it ever crit>vers?
did you draw that with your finger
im not arguing the crit
obviously
im arguing that vers was our 2nd best stat, when it wasnt
but you just said this
^here
devoker
yeah. and i asked at what point vers was our 2nd best stat. cause i dont remember that ever being the case
I am lost
😄

"it was a copy/paste mistake"
where you get this picture from
Literally above
where did they get the picture from
Hmm
nah, i was just referring to you saying again that it was crit > vers last season, when it wasnt 😄 but if that was a typo, that explains my confusion
Idk man
hMMMM
@earnest remnant where were you on December 18, 2008?
I need to know every single detail of everything you do. 
what day of the week was it?
but i didn't
Thursday (1/7 shot)
you just edited?

i edited
ye
Running hot
because i had crit mentioned twise
ye
ah okay, fair
well if it was during the day it wouldve been Badminton training
Ty.
Now where did you acquire the pic 
i didnt assume. i read what you wrote.
yeah if you write "crit > vers" i assume that you mean "crit > vers"
thats my secret
@ebon notch there you go
because i made a tyo for mastery
still would be crit > haste > vers
even if missunderstood
but its irrelevant
it was my mistake, i try to correct myself faster if i typo
ty
yeah was just confusion caused by the typo
so sin is crit > vers? good to know.
ye sry, that was a mistake i made when copying formating stuff i assume
but nice find
!whispyr
so youre saying we wont be hamstringing our other specs by gearing sin lol
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
if you gear crit heavy
you still have sub/outlaw want versa
and sin wants mastery probably over vers
Hey, coming back on the new patch. Stopped playing like 10.05 mostly outlaw but deep down in my heart i'm assassination lover. How does sin doing right now and in upcoming weeks?
at least sin and sub have super overlap with secondaries
but would be something interessting to sim, just how much you lose by going more vers heavy
which bosses r ST vs aoe this tier?
haste seemed to fall off in s2
so probably crit > mastery > haste = vers
not sure entirely
from whispyr st sim
crit > mastery = haste > vers
can even make an argument for crit > haste > mastery > vers
yes but also a lot changed
it is possible that neither of the profiles is perfectly optimized anymore
so haste having higher value is plausible
but why theres a conflict anyway? whispyr deals with sin very well so trust his sims
done deal

but most of it could be a consequence of embellishments
i still would need to re-do all gear combinations again, because i did only a short update on the profile

basially
this is the stats on the profile i used
or we dont need that at all and everyone deals with the spec he handles
vs. from whispyrs
is this a cock length contest?
kieron
stop
let me explain

while it says 128k
it is lower because the shoulder embellishment was updated
and is now not bis anymore
i did updated my profile for it yesterday to present that correctly
but again
stats might be wrong because i didn't re-run absolute everything
this is also why i put WIP on top

also just to say this straight up
it is possible that toxic boots might also change
in value
can we maybe like not give stat prio recommendations based on what stats the topgear has? cause like, depending on embellished items taking prio, you happen to end up having more vers, even though its not the more useful secondary. but becasue items you HAVE to wear have it, it ends up higher than haste/mastery etc.
just because implementation updates and blizz changing a lot of stuff atm
people will use stat prios for gems and stuff
itll never be preferable to gem vers over haste
you always sim for gems
so in the end all of this argument was useless and we should wait for more precisions because it's too early to throw 12 sims in a row with stuff half of us wont understand
yeah. we do. many people dont. those are the people who read guides, and imo saying "vers > haste" is just flatout wrong. maybe thats just me, idk
but neither of the profiles show vers as big stat
therefore pointless to give stats prio to ppl
so it wouldn't show as top one
if people picked from stats
i thought we used crit mastery gems was i doing it wrong whole patch 
But the stats aren’t the (major) difference in this sim. It’s shoulders (implemented and worse) versus boots (still currently working)
I'm totally about to hit the griddy in #assassination chat
and they are usually crit/mastery or crit/haste
i am not sure at this point if he is memeing
many people who are less informed or for example dont use sims regularly or at all, will see a "crit > vers=mastery > haste" recommendation, and then theyll buy crit+vers gems
Is it possible to re sim without echoing thunder stone?
and thats just wrong
Or replace it in the profile?
Unless something changes between 10.0.7 and aberrus I'm pretty sure echoing thunder stone isn't replicable in game
obviously things are still be optimized, were waiting for bugfixes etc.
but the profiles have crit/haste gems
and as mentioned before it was a mistake, that was corrected
idk why there is such a high incentive to iterate over that
yeah, its just a general thing, id rather that we're pretty careful with recommendations until things are settled a bit better
otherwise confusion/miscommunication are just guaranteed
because people see 2 high profile and knowledgeable people presenting info, and its conflicting info.
i was not memeing was i a big dumbo?
It’s looking like either of the toxic boots + patch, right?
yes, but this is basically the problem of early development
but neither of the profiles does present what you complain about
Didn't max say embellishment tuning is coming? If so, nothing's set yet
Blizzard max man
:o
think he only mentioned tuning
so nothing specific
O
Rogue and warlock seems like the only obvious classes for tuning
Before raid starts
bm hunter looking rough
Although part of me wonders if blizz is being cautious because sub should be strong at the start, with annulet and eranog ring value
True. But they can at least play marks
We have the bench as an option
Just rename character to atrophic and ur fine
personally im glad bm hunter is all the way at the bottom 👅
nerf rogue buff lock you mean ?

Ofc
whats the last we heard from Realz
Vague stuff or off topic
lit
Nice
easy buff then 
gonna lvl rogue in wotlk classic so im top dps again 
even after the "take rupture off your bars" fiasco?
Lol
I'll never question whispyr.
imma question you in a min
anything and everything you say can and will be used in a court of law
Question how your life ended up at this point
Wow that was way meaner than intended
every single day
are you ready to bend over
I'm very excited to be a bench gamer

I can play new Zelda
see what as mean

no yours 

there there friend
at least we have world of warcraft us to distract us from the inherent sadness that is our lives

It's Zelda time
Eu wow family lives 
are the quest trinket really perfoming better at 411 then the one from the raid for us
gonna have to sim it brotha
all of them at 411 were worse for me
true and based kieron
weird you must be looking in a mirror
ya if you have heroic trinkets still
😮
the new stuff should be performing similar/better
i was just seeing if i got a surprise, did it just cuz nothing to do
baddie with a FATTY
wasnt expeting
ahahaha
Raid trinkets cringe

Hi dax
hi everyone! so for what I've read... rogues will be having a really rough time in 10.1? Thought assa would be at least decent in M+ and good at raiding

fear not buffs are coming
😄
Depends on what decent means
If you’re good at assa, you’ll still roll the idiots who can’t go higher than +7
But you’re not going to keep up in 22’s
🤓
@final star you said it all.. was planning on going back to 10.1 to rogue (played outlaw since BFA) but wanted to try assa and have been reading guides, training, etc... guess I'll go back to shammy, war or even survival hunter (very decent so far)
im like 99% sure we will get more buffs
this week we get to go from bad to below avg
rejoice
we have never been left as bad
Coper
not coping, just basing my opinion on past events
i pray for buffs, i dont wanna play sub this tier in m+ again, i find sub super boring in aoe
first remove ic
but we havent been buffed all of s1, so i wouldnt expect any
you couldve just played outlaw if you didnt like it, noone forced you
changes that bring us from bad to slightly less bad
never except when we were
castle nathria epic tier
yes we did get buffed 5 times in cn
i also remember highmaul fondly

time flies

If max told people they would get a 10% dps increase by sticking a finger in their ass people would do it
you're not already doing that?
Tried once and it felt icky

Think they would do a lot more than that homie
What does max know anyway
dont get me back on this hopium train
Thank you blizzard max
Maximillian Blizzard 
Where can I see this full sheet?
Thank you, outlaw not on here yet?
Tier set man
ahhh
i don't want to have to deal with leading a raid team where half the group want a trinket they can't roll on
no
that's with bomb/fragment
and the wrong shoulders

Is flowstone a significant gain over our current setup?
If theoretically blizz ignore it
Oh cba doing gems at work
just go crit mastery and be done with it
That’s often incorrect tho 
pfft
Are we meta in Aberrus at least?
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
No but if we cared about being meta we wouldn't be playing sin in general.
With annulet
yuh

didn't run without
Tuning waiting room
lol
BELIEVE
That's what people think
Like 3% Dmg for all abilities
Massive 
sim with Toxic boots
you mean
imma be a doomer and say because they released that blue summary post there wont be more tuning
i hope im wrong and dumb
How does this compare to other specs in the grand scheme of things?
within margin
Nah blizzard max said tuning
gotcha
WW monk level
LMAO what are we coming to, assassin rogue and WW are doing same ST
God that's so fucking depressing
We thinking call to suffering is gonna be stronger than beacon for sin?
WW is still god tier in m+, you'd think assassin could get at least a little edge in raid ST
no beacon is fucking insane
Beacon legit nuts
call to suffering seems worse than bomb dispenser even
The upside is that we're an obvious target for week 3/4 budds
Buffa
Buffs ffs
see you in 7hours
I’m a loser with mid tier raidbots
5.5 max 
but is it also push week?
I mean historically Fridays have been tuning day
it's always push week
I could've sworn max mentioned tuning in a convo about embels and trinkets
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
so another round of tuning coming out today/tomorrow?
What’s this
No annulet??
for blizzard max
trinkies
I guess i can assume flight crash position, breathe deeply, and be patient
What spec what situation
Hm
safe play
That’s very different from what I’ve been seeing
50/50 shot we're good or we're shit
might as well just vibe out until we find out which we are
100% were shit let me doom
It’s a 0.2% gain for a max pogger ring
I reran using your baseline profiles without toxic shoulders
cos toxic shoulders worse now

It'll be fine. The meta game this season for raiding rogues will be trying to beat the tanks on damage
LMAO
Who's max ?
liquid maximum
Flowstone being bad is wild, and beacon/bomb/nelth used to be in margin in all combos
its the theoretical maximum amount of liquid tears cried by rogue mains
Idk why shoulders would have an effect on it
top is flowstone/beacon I assume
Yeah
a fundamental constant of the universe known as Liquid Max
But flowstone was +1.5% before
Does he have special attention from Blizzard ?
because no toxic shoulders
Why does toxic shoulders matter
Whispyr literally just said that here lol
don't they also proc it?
yeah he's leaked a few things over the last year or so
whether voluntarily or not
Sure but so does poison bomb
blizzard talks to the top guilds all the time
And poison bomb can solo proc it enough to not matter
you tell me then 
I've only done simple reruns of your baseline profile and picked biggest number
then iterated from there
He left the stove on
are the two I ran with talent profiles
cos iteration limit

there's an empirical formula for liklihood of rogues being buffed
buff chance = 1 - exp(-2pi(T_c / T_m))
where T_c is the number of tears cried by the average rogue main when comparing their raid damage to tank damage and
T_m is the Liquid Max, the theoretical maximum number of tears a rogue main can cry
stop trying to hurt my brain plz
This bangs
I mean we r not worse than monks
assa is
then from both of those I ran gem sims:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hDqjZfBVngXeTBi8P2DPB7
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rjUBm393gNiA3qrQEAeyh5

What a fall from grace though, we are not worse than monks atleast
But
Or bookies
This is why we don't get buffs. We've become so thick skinned over the years that we're incapable of producing tears.
and now we get lost in the sauce
We are 
Boomies
no worse than monks in ST, much worse in MT
I am running cursed things rn
2 talent build defo seem to be in margin of error anywa
which makes the no-cttc even dumber

because if you enjoy manually refreshing snd you're sick in the head
you're as much of a multi-spec freakazoid as infinitedude
perpetualbudy, the multispec freakazoid that will throw a small fit if outlaw is not the #1 option and then plays it anyway
longlastinglad got nothing on me


yepp thats me
if its ST then I got sub
do you claim to be a multispec freakazoid?
Only just seen these 🙂
they are a week old

so not sure how
Last weeks yeah

Why are people spamming them today
I claim to be a dude who does not play sin rogue
people are FIENDING for tuning
rogue buffs
well then you're chillin
wait that's not google
I dont check stuff daily 😛

you should upgrade to this emote: 🐍
good shitpost
don't check it weekly either then
How'd you know he was a Loot Snake?
oh so he's a multi-snake freakazoid
dno why you're bothered when I check stuff man I was just saying I'd not saw the buffs is all /shrug
True
bro, i just said 'only just seen these' hahaha
(don't engage with me)
o.o
Kieron are you lost or something
I got the name change ready
holy fuck he's cooking
😳
omg is that a amogus reference??????????
we all do
2012 was not the end of the world
it was the point where the simulation went funky
how is this profile not DR'd on crit to fuck
It was a quality John Cusack movie
Bro
I have no idea
I am not cooking
any gamers have a forbidden list of tier set +% gains for specs
Oh it didn’t
Holy
seems fine
I thought it went the GIGA chad crit ring
Nah we’re good
I had more crit this season at some point
Is it with crit flask or vers
I’m 99% sure vers
simc default :3c
But let’s see 
What are the new Sarkareth dagger stats?
Mast > Crit
im looking at the raid journal right now
!whispyr
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
journal may not be up to date
this is the buff we needed boys, daggers are now crit mastery instead of crit vers
sin not deadge
ya but crit good
Aight so they changed stats on everything apparently
Plate boys are saying their tier changed
time for whispyr to run sims all over again
Literally can’t until the hotfixes get pushed
weapon stats are finally updated as well

dunno if daggers changed
ffs
Scroll up a lil
Igneous Flowstone nerfed by 50% to both Crit and flat damage on High/Low tide from wowhead datamining
i only read "everything" and "plate" and then assumed you meant armor and tier


Time to resim literally everything 
I'd be shocked if secondary shuffling made enough of a diff to overcome tuning 
flowstone just got taken out back 
Well he probably runs around in underwear
Honestly I'm surprised it got nerfed for everyone and not just trashed for rogues at this point
10-15%

Live Sim Update (Updated <t:1683550002:R>)
This is for my personal sims (command is !whispyr). Be aware that fuu maintains his own sheet (!fuu) and while the information will agree most of the time, keeping up with all the changes can be difficult, and we might have some conflicting info while things sort themselves out and flesh out our sheets. We are both human and have lives outside of raidbots, so with the time crunch currently, either one of us can easily miss something.
Update <t:1683550002:R>:
DTB+AP cleave situations have been added to the sheet to help give options for some of the non-single target fights coming in the raid.
Previous Updates:
Sims have been rerun to reflect the embellishment changes (we're slimy boots + toxic patch now. Toxic Thorn boots are oversimming because the heal procs are eating damage procs)
Stats on things are resimmed (changed nothing)
Trinkets unaffected by 4 piece whitelisting (not affecting external effects). The class trinket is terrible though post nerf, no clue why that had to happen.
You're fucking insane
Wdym
what about a 10% nerf? then we'd sim with prot pallies? XD
Because 10/15% aura buff isn’t a direct 10/15% damage gain. Still seems high with one very insane outlier and a few pretty egregious ones
In what reality has a spec seen a tuning pass of 10-15% overall net buff
That wasn't a fundamental class rework
9.0 sin got a 28% aura buff or some shit
assa SL
lol
how much did assa get again during CN? 25%?
I mean. Yes, I recall Nathria
I forgot to say excluding that but that was egregious as fuck
They were below tanks
Multiple
"when has a class ever seen massive tuning, but not reworks, and not when they needed tuning bad"
Is what I mean

daps slow once again
oh didnt see was posted
im sry
i saw it when it got posted i just couldnt post it here
;-;
Its ok. They used dev time to rework shadowpriest again
poe?
Bro if you saw it 30s later you’re 80s late
And no shadowpriest that matters wanted a rework
Because devs work on the same classes
Gj
IS POE THE FUCKING REASON ?!
The class tuning balance team and rework team seems to work on multiple class yes
blizzard nerfing me by nerfing my best trinket :(
boots + patch means slimy expulsion boots, right?

Do not make an immediate decision, you have time

Hodl
Best race for st? Don’t see it in the sim
might be related to the impact being whatever
Race = orc
Yea usually there’s a tiny significance
In sim
How about ally?
tauren and dwarf have litearlly the same racial soooo.........
good thing that racials dont matter and you can play what you want then
Yea I’m not feeling the cow
heckin love that trinket
then.........dont...........? it really doesnt make a difference in reality
if it would make a difference, way more people would play abomination gnome lmao
flowstone nerf 
unexpected
nerf? thats butchery
oh lord have mercy
they halved it
i mean, its both what they did there, not making melee use it and nerf it for ranged cus it was stupid strong
Speaking of overpowered trinkets, when is the lock trinket gonna get nerfed
that begs the question, do they even do any math before they create things?^^
Yo fel hammer was the last exit
i miss mardum
I dont blame you
Give soul cap back, or deathmark cd red trinket
Hi all, send me pls google doc assa 10.1, if it able

am i crazy or blindside procs more
ahaha
MAYBE we get bs changes from the leak (doubtful, they were very strong)
They are coming
What leak ?
Cope
Last week’s leak, it’s irrelevant now
Everything was in the leak except it had a blindside change and was 1% lower on the aura buff
what was the changes on blindside ?
higher proc chance
i already removed it yesterday from the profiles
so not rly that relevant
but from what i saw
dagger got a stat change to crit mastery?
thats quite good for sin
Apparently
Time to join us
i am already part of all 3 specs
i like them all, just prefere to play subtlety
i wish for them all to play well


but i mostly run simulations for sin/outlaw and rarely do apl stuff. Most of the heavy lifting is done by whispyr and our cfs, they are all lovely individuals
Bs?
Blindside?
Yes
Wasn't that alongside a list of other changes that actually did happen?
Yeah that's what I mean
Oh yeah
The rest of the leak was accurate ish
That was the entire thing
Maybe later date or removed?
Leak had bs changed and aura was 1% worse
Probably removed for the aura
10% in execute was a lot
👀 leak
Leak the leak
Leak the leaked leak
leek?
nah you're right im getting way more procs since patch gone live
they are chaining back to back 5-6 times sometimes now
Right
Actually same
so sin outlaw or sub the kings spec ?
demonology warlock is the kings spec
kk shame damme
seems like nelth trinkets are nerfed as well
ur sleeping on dk
UH gonna blast for a while
not really
without PI they're doing 133/134 in bis gear
whereas demo is doing 140k w/o PI
and fury is doing 138 w/o PI
or 135
whatever it is
damn knew Fury was good but that's nutty
PI goes to Lock or Evoker > Dk anyway
priests are also quite good so room for udk and demo to both get PI
no, udk has more raw gain than evoker
even with new tier?
yes
fair
feel like a lot of comps will have more than one lock tho
devoker op
in m+ and raid
who tf is sleeping on devoker
#nerfdevoker
also fury is under the radar
good
fuck bm
I hope they remain dogshit for the remainder of this game's life
and I hope azor's guild forces him to play just BM
BM can be good once you need more than one finger and two braincells to play it

ranged dps that can literally jump and dance
while doing damage
top DPS
makes sense

buff sub, thats all, ty for coming to my ted talk
@gusty mirage you left the door open again, the feral animals are coming into our place
why
okay, but you have to feed him and clean his litterbox
what could sub have to complain about
