1 messages · Page 477 of 1
Got bombs and beacon. 2 on use but just macrod bomb to e venom so I’m always using it.
Did they change bis embellished?
do we usually go vers phial or rage phial?
Uhh I think it came out like a week ago or something that the haste loss wasn’t accounted for? And the other boots are ahead. I think it’s in the pins
Nope I lied not pinned anymore, someone correct me if I’m wrong though
Idk hard to keep track of little changes
It’s been a heck of a week
Dammit don’t tell me I’ve been screwing over my trinket sims by only checking against annulet….
bruther
i simmed
for like 7 hours yesterday
i yeeted annulet like week 2
but yes i did sim with it
~1000dps loss in all combinations
hey is it true we exist just to suffer

That doesn’t sound right 🙃
existance is suffering
yet, i remain silly
Happens
I'm scared.
I didn't think the assa hit hard
first boss in heroic
well... we only have 4600 of Pharses, in total 4.6k of assas
well thx for Whispyr for all the info
lov ❤️
What is the kill time?
Fastest Kill: 2:56
and with sepsis
Noice
We killed it at 2:07
it's so cursed, 3 seconds before DM comes back 
where do i find assa openers with stepsis? i checked pins and assa faq and its possible im blind
Even the raccoon knows
ive been hitting dummies today
getting in the groove for the 1% haste assa gameplay
did no exsang convince you to play assassinaiton?
if 6% is drowning, what is my 8% with slimy boots?
fair
flooded inside a ocean?
but you can play 
lets go to a imaginary place where Rotten brings any positive change at all
What are subs problems on that fight?
^ the haste buff does basically nothing for the spec
and on Mythic Sark you kinda play around it
so you just get smoked by all other classes
atleast assa can use the haste a bit
+the fact that the adds are not really a gigantic focus
so that assa cant do real aoe is not a big problem there
so until im given the greenlight im probably just gonna channel my inner cev and play assa on the fight
maybe not first reclear
Hell yeah
just due to people being used to the prog dmg to adds
About to blast the meters
Make sure to get 10 externals to maximize boss damage as well
dont think our uhdk is gonna allow me to take his shiny toys away
Damn. Good thing everyone gets to share them when Aug Evoker gets added
egirlvoker buffs are proximity based
just unholy 8mil ahead of everybody else on boss dmg
just ask the priest nicely for pi
How does unholy play sark
but puzzle box nerf
well balanced ^^
Do they like take a bomb in p2 for their cds or smth
yes
they get the first 50% haste from the intermission
then they get the first bomb set
and just go nuclear
with cds
get their cds back faster xD
granted
im not really hitting the boss xD in p2
so im cheating a bit
making it look worse than it is
And apparently having an Outlaw Rogue in the raid is technically worse for the Aug Evoker than not having one
the fun thing is, this is about the "burst" you see on the subtlety chart
that entire spec is a gigantic mistake
simple as that
no it sjust looks low because the peaks are 600k.
the in-between is still 100-200k
srsly, who came up with the idea and thought it will not be a gigantic disaster
The bottom graph at a glance looks like it does more damage until you realize the number at the side says 600k vs 200k
Blizz probably thought of it a long time ago, like pre-Shadowlands. Maybe that's why they pushed so many externals into Shadowlands. Kind of a testing ground for how externals would play.
p1+p2
reminder that augemtation is supposed to make 4 other dps in raids stronger to the point where its valuable to use it instead of a normal dps
but then there is m+ where you only have 2 dps, how do you want to balance the numbers there? if it ALSO has enough "damage" in m+ to work with only 2 dps its gona be so giga busted in raids its not even funny anymore
Seems balanced :)
🙂
haste lovers vs haste hater
Yeah their idea stage is definitely at least an expansion ahead
can add talents for that
The "externals make for a good social experience for the players" basically just meant "uhm we can't delete them now, we have a spec with 30 externals coming in a year uhm sorry?"
i like how thats just a big "nah, fuck you" to the community tbh
like, blizz is great in DF overall to actually do stuff that people want, but everyone hates externals, its a painpoint for everyone and instead of tuning it back they now make a external spec and tell us to just wait, its gonna be great

so borrowed power the spec?
Its just gonna amp the tank and the healer too
big tank and healer aoe dps
🙂
btw. just to mention that too
I think auggie is gonna play really cool and interesting genuinely
the priest can holy nova 4%harder
But jesus it might be so annoying
subtlety is also a damage loss for avokers
Anyways, I think Augmentation is probably really cool for the person playing it
ist not outlaw exclusive
Yeah exactly
I think it's gonna be a pain for everyone else involved
yeha like
that spec is gonna be the absolute peak of "giga busted and you need them always" and "so bad that you never want it at all", there is no room in-bettwen
its stupid
why are they doing it
Already having to map out defensive/offensive cds, as well as boss mechanics/timings and then on top of that having to map out positioning according to the Augevokers and buff timings
Gonna be a lot to go through
blizz is not good at balancing, and now they add something that most games cant manage to balance 
Probs will just turn into Augevoker doing whatever they want and just pressing stuff on cooldown and whoever gets the buffs, get them
aka the warlocks, cus they gaslight the world into beliving "warlock is actually balanced around having egirlvoker buffs"
But yeah, I used to play a class called "Assist" in FLYFF 20 years ago and it was pretty fun, but it's just a completely different game

Not sure how it's gonna work in WoW
judging for how balancing was in the last 2 xpacs
avoker will be balanced to output the same as other dps
I mean tanks do pretty solid aoe and at least some of the healers do
w/e of what they do else
thats possible yeha
the problem is everything else
Avoker sounds better then Augevoker or Augoker
FAKIN Augoker dude xD
Alright devoker, prevoker and avoker it is
sounds like the danish word for cucumber
perfect
like, how will you balance classes when there is a spec that can give them free mainstat+multistrike+cdr?
they look like little flying cucumbers anyways
is augvoker or augoker what people atm use?
just dont and 2-3 are always #1 now when they have a pocket e-girl?
The cdr is wild to me
or you do and they depeend on the spec?
I think they just say Aug
Like vers and mainstat
No other class in the game has that title
Seems like they can attribute that in logs easily
Same with Dev and Pres
ah fair, i will continue to say avoker, because i thought it sounded good
Yeh
But cdr is almost impossible to quantify consistently
inc: we end with the same situation that ff14 has: every single team has a Dancer because its simply the best option for physical ranged
good desing btw

I've heard that it's likely gonna be 3 perma evokers in the raid
So they have 100% uptime on all the buffs
permanent saturation
cool, we need less free raidslots
not like that raidteams allread yhave 70% of the raidteam allready pre-set cus blizz is forcing so many buff/externals into the game
everyone loves that
there was never any backlash at all
🙂
But then again it makes balancing a bit easier right
If you're forced to take one of each class, it kinda doesn't matter what numbers they do unless it's ultra abysmal
Also it's easy to shout at balancing and stuff like that, that shit is probably giga hard to get right honestly
How do you choose what aspect of a spec/class to balance and how much and when?
Do you just keep slapping aura buffs on a class until the numbers look good or do you focus on the weaker abilities and buffing them up or a straight up rework where you remove outliers or what's the dealio
I wouldn't be able to do that probably
I could do that for Assassination because it's my OTP class
But if I was in charge of 2 entire classes and all of their specs, hell no
tbh, its kinda their job, they get paid for it

But not really, that's part of their job right
like, sounds stupid i know, but thats what the balance team is supposed to do
They still have a million other things to do as well
It's not like they sit on a computer looking at talent trees and numbers 24/7 trying to figure out which one to buff and which one to nerf
But yeh
Personally glad I don't have to do that and face the wrath of the community when something goes wrong 
I think it scales to buff 40% less in raid groups to make up for the tank/healer in m+
and there it starts allready
if i don't remember it wrong
base desing is flawed enough that there allready needs to be a aura % change, cool i gues
i think blizz wanted to attribute damage gains from externals to the player who provides it
Yeah similar to blessings on paladin
But still stuff like stat amps and cdr are kinda impossible to calculate
not sure how they want to do it, but would give wcl a lot more relevance if they manag to do so
haste on a unholy dk also results in the unholy dk getting army back faster
how do you calculate how much dmg you gave the unholy dk cus you gave him haste for 15sec?
Or cdr to someone who doesn't even use cds on cooldown
30s cdr but holds the cd for 30s to sync with everything else
Well most would not.
But it’s not done by a single dude, it’s done by a big ass studio with enough resources to know the ins and outs of each spec to a fine detail and have the manpower to deal with it.
Now I’m not saying it’s easy. Or that they must do it to a 1% accuracy. But can they do atleast 30-40% better, sure they can.
If you’re paying triple A, but get a B or C performance anywhere, it’s already the studio’s fault, and saying they have millions of other things to focus on, is just giving an excuse to do a shitty job.
And facing the community when it goes wrong?
Idk, but any job that involves such a close relation to the customer has to face them every now and then.
That's absolutely true, but the first few lines are not necessarily right. We know a single dude made 5 entire talent trees and the balancing around them. It's probably been a bit more broad after that, but at least the initial designs were done by a single individual.
tbf, saying "just suck it up and face the community" is weird, cus gaming communitys can be the biggest deranged idiots in the world that will send deaththreats cus they THINK something is weaker then it should be
This is the main question, is there a will to do it? Or are they just shuffling classes on top so everyone gets their hard on every third patch and feel the urge to play their class because they’ve seen themselfs topping metter for one whole tier
For sure, design may come from a single dude, but balance does not have to
But that's probably a company thing and them not hiring enough people. I remember hundreds of people (I think mainly QA iirc) getting laid off before DF launched
Imo blizz balancing as much as we bitch is pretty good compared to other studios. Their big flaw is doubling down on shit that the community says will be a nightmare the second you announce it (covenants, corruptions, legion legos, and soon to be augvokers)
most of the DF layoffs ended up being community stuff, not devs
legion legos and unstable arcanocrystal haunt my dreams

but they lost some devs to other companies, and i am not sure how much they stocked up on new people
blizz balancing is litearlly 2 problems:
they are quiet slow sometimes with a weird focus
Well, there are deranged people in each community, it’s not exactly an arguement against facing the community when you’ve done them wrong
and that they love to double down on stuff everyone says is bad
Not saying they should send us their home adress for us to send them dildos
also keep in mind that the engine is quite old, so having people who are capable to work on the game directly in a productive way is something that takes time
........thats supposed to be a BAD thing????
hello?
FREE DILDOS???????
Blizz is also a company that's thinking 4 years in advance. So they might have their sights on the next expansion already which results in the current one not getting as much notice.
True
shit is expensive you know?
But again who knows
current xpac seems to be getting fairly high attention
with the lower release cycles
Oh yeah, definitely a lot better than previous expansions for sure
it is the first time they lowered the cycles instead of making them bigger (like in legion -> bfa or bfa -> SL)
I think the riot approach to balancing is really good tho. Constant small aura buffs/nerfs to try to keep everything as close as you can. Then look at big reworks or mini reworks for things that are are either just conceptually unfun or things that are impossible to balance closely because it has to be either giga op or giga dead
I personally don't care about anything else but Kingsbane being buffed. If Kingsbane gets buffed, I'm a happy camper. Do whatever you want, just let me have my Kingsbane. 
riot way of balancing would be "people like to play DH, we buff DH everytime a new raid releases"

riot is a big joke in balancing cus they play favorites so extremely obvious
riot changed balancing strategy quite often
they had a statistical/theoretical approach
but now only use it for the giga extremes you don't rly need to see it
We’ll really riot buffs around skin lines. Got to make sure ur big booba champs are OP so people buy the new skins
and also now buff/nerf more to change the meta than balance the game
One of the employees at Riot wanted to play Blitzcrank in Jungle. What did they do? Buffed Blitzcrank that he could be played in jungle. That was so ridiccoulous
So maybe calling it the riot approach was wrong. But that approach I feel is the best
i do think the approach was good to be focused on bringing outliners i line
but as mentioned, they did drop this approach
what is nice is how they handle changes, you get to see buffs/nerfs in advanced on ptr
Sometimes wow ptr feels pointless tho. Players spend their time testing new changes, just to give feedback that is ignored half the time
the problem is that the cycles are too long
Although I think blizz has still gotten better at that, even if it’s still weak
changes can come in at any point in the cycle
and you can have a lot or no time to get iteration or feedback
doing regular updates, yeha ofc
but the riot approach itself is litearlly just "new skin line=buffs, popular champ=more skins=more buffs, if you are unpopular and underperfoming(and thats often related btw), you can stay in the dumpster for ages" unless its a big outliner
and also that they just gave up on multiple champs for multiple years and just said "yeha sorry, those are proplay champs, they will be bad for 99,99999% of players xd"
imagine if blizz would straight up say "yeha sorry, fire mage is good in high lvl m+, cant change it to make it playable everywhere else"
also a thing that alot of the stuff the community might not like in terms of changes is what the game devs want for the class
the only thing riot does good there is doing regular updates, thats it
i think this one rly comes down to communication
a pretty obvious one
even if the community does not agree, having a good reason to do a change and state it is way better
is that people want more burst for their cooldowns, but they are clearly taking the game in another direction
i am not even sure about that
there are many specs with good burst, it is more inconsistent
Yeah things like fire mage or pro play champs like azir fall into the category imo of this no longer needs tuning to fix and needs either a big or mini rework to fix the underlying problem
e.g. looking at rogue
its what they have to many classes already
having 3 spec being flat liners does not feel like a design goal
but maybe i am wrong
thats what im saying
the community wants burst
but the game is going in a different direction
they are actively ripping it away
i mean, they just in SL re-introduced a lot of burst
similar to DF with the talent trees
so maybe it is what they want with rogue
but i don't think its a general trend
its not just rogue they have done it to
How do you guys feel about the talent tree rework now that we’ve had it for awhile?
Whispyr's Simulation Spreadsheet: https://tinyurl.com/292m89ev
Personally I hated it going into DF, and while still not a fan, it’s not as bad as I expected. But I think the majority was very excited for it to start off
overall 1of the best things they made in a long time, some classes/specs suffer from underdevelopment(rogue is 1of them)
but that is getting adressed
What do you enjoy about it compared to old tree?
Is it tho
yes??
they said they are
It literally is
just cause rogue is sidelined doesnt mean they are not doing anything
lol
frostmage litearlly gets a rework next Patch
Personally I feel it plays very similar. 90% of talents are non negotiables and are always taken. Leaving a few meaningful choices you swap between depending on the situation/preference. Which is just the old tree
wow is a numbers game at the end of the day
it was always gonna be like that
something will always just be better
its just giving you the illusion of choice
Yeah that’s why I was very against the talent tree rework
The one advantage it has is utility choices tend to be more plentiful than the old tree. For other classes at least
But the disadvantage is you have to deal with routing which sometimes forces you to take stuff you don’t want. Like the sin AoE build now
there's some argument to be made that at least illusion of choice can be a more pleasant experience than barely any apparent choice at all
you can at least feel like you have some control over what you play
Quick question, is Rouge good rn or Bad as a class to learn? My guild Is Looking to clear hc and we have too many hunters (me included). They want 1-2 of us to Reroll, I only have Rouge as an alt… is it Worth it or is the Performance lacking?
Is the recomended build without exang pinned anywhere?
its heroic Mate, nothing really matters there lol
Well we want to First clear it with only guildies and we‘re quite casual 😅
faq
At that level you being comfy with the class matters a lot more than the class itself being good/bad in hands of a sim bot
I’d say try a few other classes while leveling (should be quick enough nowadays), if you don’t know what to choose - take a look at what raid buffs/utility you might be missing and go for those OR pick based on your feelings towards certain concepts
Rogue is in a pretty rough spot right now in terms of pure damage performance, but comes with benefits of being very durable, very mobile and quite easy to gear (most of the stuff can be crafted or farmed from repeatable content)
It’s heroic, not worlds first raiding. You can top or nearly top meters with anything you know good enough
@wet tusk assassination is a really good spec to pick up with just a little practice, and you can also use the same stats to run subtlety in M+
If the assassination dungeon rotation is too much
wanna talk again about that "very mobile" part? 
Hell no
I mean step is cool and all but honestly I was so used to shadowlands step being like 45 yards or something, so the 25 yards nowadays feels so small
I spam my step 100 times and nothing happens and I think I'm out of charges, but I'm just out of range

i never looked at the yards, but now it makes sense why it feels so scuffed to use shadowstep
At least sin isnt 1 step, 2 min sprint rn
decent yeha, but not really very mobile
and sub has 1of the worst mobility un the game lol
i mean im using 2 steps to get to where i previously got with 1
And acro
Boohoo you have vanish
Id say that’s fine for mobility not bad but not amazing
Yeah, should have put hook into class tree outlaws one redeeming quality
I mean yeah we're not exactly DH but we're not Retri either
Id say at least comparable to warrior
not when I double vanish in the opener 😄
or have to hold it with rotten
you mean like shadowdance from sub? 🤔
But those 100 dps are surely gonna make our break my grey parse turning green
2
acro
aka the wow version of heroin
i dont need it dont need it i dont need it i dont need it dont need it i dont need it i dont need it dont need it i dont need it i dont need it dont need it i dont need it
i can play without acro
🙂
Passive movement speed ✅
Sprint ✅
Option of double step or step + hook ✅
Acro ✅
(Outlaw special) Restless Blades on hook and sprint ✅
I’d say that’s very
ask sub rogues about the 2min sprint fun

worgen racial is legit better then baseline sprint
Subs have omega sprint (shroudge)
outlaw is mobile yeha, thats not a question
assa is ok, its nothing special, but its good
sub is bad
What does sin have that sub does not that makes it faster?
Most of these are probably very niche, but farther steps + vanish strike + vanish pretty much resetting step cd sounds at least decent
assa can play double step and 1min cd sprint
sub plays with only 1 step and the baseline 2min cd sprint
Outlaw is just out of this world mobile though. 50% passive movespeed when stealthed is huuuge on its own
now the big downside: you play outlaw
what is an outlaw?
An outlaw, in its original and legal meaning, is a person declared as outside the protection of the law. In pre-modern societies, all legal protection was withdrawn from the criminal, so that anyone was legally empowered to persecute or kill them. Outlawry was thus one of the harshest penalties in the legal system. In early Germanic law, the dea...
An outlaw, in its original and legal meaning, is a person declared as outside the protection of the rogue community.
ah i see
Bring back burst of speed lol
You forgot to mention the downside
i miss it so much just for open world/soloing
The reason they are outside the protection of the law? They move faster then paladins
The range reducction after SL still has me fucked up. I think i can step from a lot further than i can then realize i have to basically be up the bosses ass. Bring back long range step
Yep it's very unfortunate
This ruined me for like 30 pulls of Raz
can have longer step range if you play sub and don't care about dps
...
the dps isn't the problem fuu
I could also just play DH instead and have infinite mobility
i know
but it adds to the problem, because even having higher range is not ideal if you need to trade off dps for it
Not sure what you're saying
because playing Sub/Outlaw is not the solution
Even if Sub did 100k more dps, it's still not getting played
oh no, i completely agree that rogue feels weak in terms of mobility
and assassination has more mobility than subtlety, but still feels lacking
its just that subtlety has access to higher step range, that would help
but it is positioned in a way that trades off a noticable amount of damage
Yeah but you're missing the point
It doesn't matter if you have to change talents to get higher step range
What matters is having to play Sub
And I ain't touching that spec
do we still need to use expert mode to sim sin rogue or is it nightly/latest ?
Even if it did 100k more dps and shadowstep was worldwide range
haha fair
:D
No, nightly is fine
can you use the consumable items from 10.0.7 to spawn targets to shadow step to in raid
i think it should work, but need to test at some point
What item?
moment
think it was this that spawned targets you could step to
Oh interesting
Do we have any suggestions on how to macro dragonfire bomb dispenser and to which skill is the best to do that?
Garrote ig
its 1-2g per piece on the AH, so it rly isn't that expensive
Gently squeezed toad 2: rocky boogaloo??
could be that there was a other item too
@vestal wren the change in #1065730164077645916 means the opener changes to gar -> snd -> ER ->... at least that's how I understand cevs comment
Removed from game
Or at least became friendly
I wouldn’t think that they are alive long enough to be mega useful?
Rip toad
Nvm forget what I said
from the sample sequence
They are just friendly which means it could still work
Yeah-I’m sure there’s some niche uses
ok nice ty now the
pre pull beacon tech just needs to be implemented
Something something I’m never gonna finically recover

What’s the beacon pre pull tech
Now you talent MA and all them crit 
sounds pretty minimal
Jokes on you MA is whitelisted
was it always?
should be, since it just gives crit
Isn’t it better to use beacon for the BTE/tier interaction than like that?
you used MA for trinkets back when it was new
Yeppers, notoriously one of the few strict whitelisted abilities for rogue
Funny enough the legendary in SL wasn’t but the talent it was named after was
this is sin
kk I rember MA legendery getting white listed middle of 9.0
I’d like to forget SL 
yeah back when it was new you used it with draught of souls
good old times

BRB having a cig while getting energy

its fine i got 25g back by killing a loot goblin
Damn big stonks
But if you never bought the box. You would have gained that 25 instead of the 23 gold
Hey, i wanna Play assassin as my alt. I pretty much geared him up with my guild and only have a few Things missing.
What do you guys think I should Craft? I got 2 Sparks left and dont Know what to do with them. Ty in advance

Weapon and toxic Patch on belt/bracers
spreadsheet says belt/Bracers but wouldnt a Ring be better in my case since im still missing one?
It’s not about what you need right now - it’s long term. And you can’t toxic patch a ring
Only leather pieces
447 weapon (main hand) is a pretty big gain overall. Even over 441 it was well worth
You could also make the ring and push the weapon out one week
Ty alot, so sticking to the Spreadsheet is still good in my case then 😄
whatever you do don't be like me and craft the spore shoulders, i hate them
came to a normal run to obliterate bosses, no one is logging, i did a top50 parse
i cry
1st boss 😦
stars aligned? xD
Log ur own combat log
doesnt typing /combatlog not really change anything it's not really already logging without recording it
Doesnt change anything. Live logging usually is worse for me. So i just upload after
Also when is it time to use the "bacon" from beyond in rotation. The sim shows "using items" happening 30 seconds in the fight
is that so i don't waste time during a potion from GCD
Do you have two on use 
yes one is the bomb dispenser which I just macro'd with mutilate
Yeah that would be why
ok so it triggers 10 second cooldowns on others
so then by the time i can use the other trinnket it would be like 30 seconds in, makes sense
There’s an internal GCD on on use trinkets. And yeah the 10s is done by then
That’s why
got it! thanks for helping me realize it haha
off to work i go
isn't it 20?
From bomba > another bomvw or is that just the general everything after using bomba
Would be more interesting if you could stack the bombas, then just using it on cd wouldnt always be the best play since you could stack up a big one when you needed burst
But alas
We are stuck in "use on cd" hell

I have a very very surprising fact for you quake, my p1 damage on sark increased when i got beacon instead of anvil, who woulda guessed right?
1.4M crits 
bacon from beyond OP



Could I perhaps bend someone's ear and ask how echoing reprimand is used properly?
I think I just use it at bad times.
You just use it on cd
And try not to cap combo points when using it
I guess I'll have to reread it. Do I wanna aim for it to be in the 5th slot? Or does it work like that blue charge is like spending 7 skill points
Oh, you should be playing resounding clarity talent below it, should be getting 3 anima charged cps
Which makes it much easier to manage
Ah ok.
I did go over the faq but I should state I'm just like level 68 and got super curious
Ag that’s probably the thing
Resounding clarity makes the ability much more bearable

so I am trying to determine if something is broken on my end, so envenomv refreshes snd, at least it was, however between yesterday and today i noticed that my envenom is refreshing my rupture but not my snd, was there a change that i missed, i can't find anything about it anywhere i have read
It does not refresh rupture
Envenom refreshing Rupture, what?

yes, talented into cut to the chase

How are you tracking Rupture and SnD @lofty pendant? Are you using a WA or default blizz UI?
If you're using a WA, you might have tracked Rupture and SnD wrongly
i use WA
it is definitely the rupture icon that is going back up on it countdown
let me see if i can get a log while smashing this training dummy
but rupture isnt falling off the bad guy either
Can you do a short record or something, it sounds really odd. I'm trying myself right now and not having this issue
yea i am working on it
so i dont normallylog things so had to figure it out real quick
hey guys, which talents are you using in tyrannical weeks?
Im puzzled because I'd like to also take zoldycks for single-target/finishing against bosses, but i dont want to remove the other talents
The sub ones
wdym?
he made a joke

you don't rly change much of talents between tyranical/fortified

And also, do i use crimson tempest just to keep the dot on mobs or do i spam it at packs?
iirc at 5+ it’s a wash between CT spamming and fishing for pb procs?
fun fact, doesn't matter
as long as the CT dot is up you can either push CT or fish for PB procs

Poison Bomb
ok so i never have to do logs, i just click a link and go study them but i was not at my raid last night so i dont have logs from last night to link, it is proving to be a dfiifcult task for me to figure this out right now, i am still working on it so it might be a few before i can actually get them on here. but i promise that it's happening, even when i turn the WA off and track with blizz default it still does the same thing
I get better results doing 1 CT and aiming for PB under 5-6 tzrgets
yep that'll happen if you proc PB
if you don't
it'll be slightly worse
like ever so slightly
still waiting for my nelth vs essence trinket sim you promised me 
If you dont yeah its another problem ahahah
I got pulled into an alt raid
then alt f4'd
I gotchu
can you link me one of your sims again
so I can yoink the nelth trinket string
I'll do it now before I forget again
cuz I'm old

Neltharions Leidensruf (444) I'm assuming this is it?
oh
okay discord
that's cool
yes
all good i was just curious because you mentioned its way ahead on your profile:)
dude you shook me with that number at first
i was like 140 damn
but what if it doesnt proc in execute haha
we purposefully wipe the raid until it does

smol downgrade from 441 beacon
better than 441 dice
if I had a chance at it
it'd be the easiest decision of my life
never worry about beacon, and not critting beacon
and fitting in beacon casts in between the icd from bomb/beacon
but then you get the essence out of the shitty 4x mythic chest and its better than the item you took out of vault
(nelth trinket)
do you have all available buffs in your raid?
cause if you're running it solo or with only 1 or 2 other people
it's 100% worse than nelth trinket
ye even when swapping people in and out on reclear we have all
we have like 4-5 people just going mastery alone
those shadow essences?
im the first going crit
experiments trinky
oh
mate, im a trial in a guild rn
they have 0 experiments trinkets and 0 rashok trinkets
like, at all
never dropped
no matter the difficulty
yeah we dropped our first rashok trinket last night on heroic
lol
and we've dropped 3 total experiments trinkets
and our nelth trinkets have been dogshit luck too
one of our warlocks has been clearing nelth every week still doesn't have it
hasn't even seen it drop
We got 2 on Tuesday
ty for trying, another quick question. you just simming with crit flask for bigger number or you actually use it on mythic?
our raid hasnt seen a single class trinket and we have been clearing since week 1
bigger number to feel better about myself
even though my crit's already in DR w/o it
lol
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tmjJNQQQ7aMcorCVdY1amK I've finally break into the 120 threshold POOOOG
i just dont sim with in anymore after the ring fuckery yesterday, it makes me feel weird
Ashkandur 

i dont have 34% crit anymore

we had 4 of those drop 
Gotta get them numbers up
i have 47 with all crit equipped 🙂
39% w runes
wait I just replaced a cloak
No one needs it anymore, we actually gave it to a Evoker for transmog 
my gear is actually somewhat haste heavy
Let’s get an all rogue group going and bum rush an lfr @gusty mirage
8% haste with slimy boots
My seems ask for more and more haste
for what
Shits and giggles
the only thing that'd be a semi-upgrade is like lfr sark cloak
which isn't even available yet
and cba swapping boots because BuT ThOrNy SiMs HiGhEr fuck thorny and eating recup heal procs lmao
I’m kidding they would be a nightmare
Nice haha
it was me, the other tank who dc'd, and 3 healers
and we killed the last 15% of rashok
must be nice
Assassin slapped in raid last night performed better than sub and outlaw with my gear tbh
Sepsis believer coming through
You can play sepsis as sub too

Rotten was okay
sweet child
who hurt you
Then the execute damage kicks in
sweden

makes sense
How does assa execute work?
you proc more blindside and dots just deal more dmg
Zold-i can’t spell the rest
Its more burst oriented and more skill expression (which is also unfortunate because i screwed it up on our nelth kill)
https://cdn3.emoji.gg/emojis/6643-peepowicked.png
We using nightly or latest today?
lost me at skill expression, I have none

i figured it out, so i apparantly had a macro for envenom that i had done wrong, it had the envenom tooltip but was set to cast rupture, i am brilliant >.<

I do so much damage during dicking phase
Warriors cope
It happens, I'm glad you figured it out though!
In the immortal words of max “suck and fuck the boss here”
That’s where Zoldyck’s comes in
Yes
something about exsang got changed, but I just doubt it changes anything about its viability
Little white haired boy throws lightning yoyos at boss
that's already in afaik
nightly updates at 8am cest
iirc
can just use latest if you want
no harm no foul
but I'd sim both just to be safe
44min again ago assuming I understand the simcraft git correctly
not even that much
Super negligable
that's 1dps outside of margin for error
Someone needs to revise their math
why my picture not load
It did
oh there it is
It did
Meh i aint even gonna bother touching anything then lol
What’s the tech to getting a beacon to drop
14
Just kill the boss
I can't math
I’ve killed it on norm and heroic every week and I’m convinced it doesn’t even exist

5 stations of the cross before pulling
Brother
No shot
11
We have a winner


This explains so much about gearing and builds 
7 
Hey I had that on Rashok as well
get it in your vault week 2 like I did
I got nothing else outside of that
Yeah. You love to see it.
I had equal sophic uptime on mag except I was quite literally afk for over half the fight on mag

ok that's just filthy

Just wait for the Augoker
It’s a shame on zskarn tho cuz I had the omega bs highroll
I'm still trying to figure out how did whispyr get 117k dps on rashok pre-buff.
he high rolled annulet, but it can't be just that.
post-patch i don't even reach that
Did you try slamming two redbulls at 5 am
good dice and sophic procs during DM windows
like
all those shity rng stat procs have a gigantic impact when they proc at the right time
He is THE Assassination theorycrafter after all
He MUST have some secret juice
he's hiding the tech from ya'll
get your forks out
Subsribe to his patreon to get all the secrets
he had 117k throughout the whole fight
7% sophic uptime
yeah but are you a classically trained violinist who's got a chiseled jaw?
you take the 17% sophic uptime
I'll take cev's talents and looks
why not both 
oh wrong respond lol
because this game hates us
you pick good rng in game or good rng irl
you can't have both
@gaunt moat yeah but getting 2 full deathmarks in execute moves that average up
good kill time
He also had the ideal kill timer and was able to pot on his 4th dm vanish window for the GIGA blasting
bid 501k to your feral druid who won it since raid lead said he doesn't care about non tier loot
We can’t even get it to drop to argue about it
?? When does one of them start

bro idk
I'm waiting for the good rng irl
frfr
your in game RNG is there to balance the universe
CHECKLIST MR. STEALTHI
It's more than that, in 6:30 minutes, I had 77 envenoms, he had 85.

mfer talking to us about rng
oxi is indirectly calling me a neckbeard virgin POS
bro compared to cev and stealthi
we're all neckbeard virgin POSs
so it's true 
i look like i havent seen the sun in 10 years

"you have a great personality" 
that's because you're awake between 10pm and 6am
How many cp did you Gen? From seal fate as well?
same cev
y'all want my beard too?
cant grow any at all
insane amount of versa there
looks like it is working
envenom more 
don't tell notter how to live his life
how dare you
That's what the flask does yes
so you are a naked trash panda?
but sure high vers = big parse
I actually generated 4 more with seal fate. but also wasted 11 more through seal fate
That’s 2/8
Used to be my rogue when i wasnt a cow and had a slutmog on on
We’re a quarter of the way there
might as well fuckin be
in this heat it would probably be better
I would not say that was the most common reaction to it among the pugs i joined
sorry just started dungeon, i'll be investigating further soon 
yeah those people prolly have anime pfps and play barefoot elves in wow
I have logs for you from sunday
diurna 🙂

ill have uknow that i had an anime pfp when i joined this server
we had a guy in sub insist that it was because of the order of the stones
well my annulet always does low damage, so i dunno.. IT MIGHT BE
pokemon is universal

rppm be a bitch sometimes
so is this

first i had pain from naruto, then natsu from fairy tail, then raccoon
I'll have you know I'm wearing shoes currently
Your on NA right?
yes chef, i was jokin tho. we're never gonna find a tank if we come in hot with 1000 rogues
i will suffer in peace
Wut
Idk I'm pretty sure I could force one of my guild tanks, but I'm EU and have raid in 30
whispyr had another 1000 vers from eggnog ring
do you insult eleem?
Yes

But you don't use the ring for the versatility
It's not because of the vers that he does high dps
that's the dumbest thing
It's literally the effect
i was just clarifying 
Nah all my other chars are naked foxes since I cba doing the first 10 lvls 😄
Is mine confirmed anime?
Yeh but the other dude said "oh very high vers, looks to be working" implying that it's because of his vers that he does dps
I mean sure go for it, stack yourself with only vers
let me know how it goes
hi, are we still keeping vanish for the 2nd dm cast with sepsis?
Yes
laughs in 25% verse
Damn you must only get r1's

we cracked the code
ret pally gets half of what assassination gets
what log are you lookikng at
That retri pick is pretty troll

sir I am lookin at logs from your guild rn 
It's true
they put retri pallys in for wf in my raid aswell because of the ashkandur 
with warriors

the profile they use has it...?

those are the bis set up profiles
meaning even with ass candy
it's half worth that for assassination
meaning his RL is actually inting their raid
by almost 2k dps
Don’t they take the crusader strike talent? 
so the ret pally can feel important
does anyone has that spreadsheet? i cant find it
No also it doesnt get affected by windfury
it says it directly on the talent
ah
why is a guild on rashok private logging
That’s why I asked 
does anyone know why did whisp delayed his vanish during his 2nd dm? trying to figure out stuff for rashok 
!fuu
you already have emp garrote running from your 1:30 sepsis
