#

so we aint gone lose dmg cause of no anullet its bull .... that finger did 4-6 million free dmg

keen spruce
#

it was already getting replaced by 441 socketed rings for most people

#

especially after the aura buff we got a few weeks ago

#

we basically got our annulet compensation buff early

spice spire
#

The day I agree with shmeeps SMH

gilded oasis
#

shiii-

gusty mirage
#

because assassination 110% replaced annulet

spice spire
#

Damn

gusty mirage
#

I'm done beating around the bush with the complaining about "no changes yet"

#

it's just annoying now

#

we've had Realz in here confirm that the goal is 10.2

spice spire
#

It’s been annoying for like

gusty mirage
#

we had Ion mention they're not coming in 10.1.5 but later

spice spire
#

A while

gusty mirage
#

now we have people complaining that assassination isn't getting a compensation buff for a ring that you replace when you have good gear

#

which breaks down to either: you don't know how not "free" the annulet was or you don't understand how stats work

slim hamlet
#

Man 10.2 gonna be sick

#

i don't even care what is changing, just like changes

gilded oasis
#

you're gonna be sick

slim hamlet
#

We all are

gusty mirage
#

zar is attacking me with the ion d again

gilded oasis
#

cant stop wont stop

slim hamlet
#

wtf does that mean

thick sail
#

@gusty mirage it's still a nerf to people without good gear.

gusty mirage
#

I'm getting smacked with ion's pp

slim hamlet
#

eyo

#

wtf is that

gilded oasis
#

craft a 447 ring, free hole replace annulet

slim hamlet
#

no shot real image

gilded oasis
#

iond

#

yeah

gusty mirage
#

but they don't balance for people running around at 420 ilvl

#

that would be asinine

gilded oasis
#

from blizzcon a few years back mang

slim hamlet
#

ew ion

thick sail
#

Like me and my girlfriend have 430 gear and don't try that hard. It still sucks to have an Annulet I farmed a couple days for that's now garbage

gusty mirage
#

I get that

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

but they also introduced it as a temporary thing

#

they made that very clear

thorn fjord
gusty mirage
#

the problem is, outlaw rogue and sub rogue and ww monk and the other classes receiving compensation buffs

#

used it at max ilvl

thick sail
#

@spice spire right, but now it's just like, boy, I should've just been running mythics and getting crests instead of doing that stupid Forgotten Isles shit

thorn fjord
#

it literally took like 2 hours to get

spice spire
#

And time etc. discluding, not gonna flame for anyone’s situation. I’m saying accessibility is at an all time high

thorn fjord
#

Not a huge time sync

thick sail
#

All right let me put it this way

gusty mirage
thorn fjord
#

sink

thick sail
#

Go to the Forgotten Isles now and try to get it

#

There's no one there

gilded oasis
#

yeah its kinda dead out there

thorn fjord
#

Group finder is a thing

thick sail
#

So killing the bosses to get keys is near impossible

#

That's when I did it

#

It was empty

#

It sucked

gusty mirage
thick sail
#

And it took a long time

woeful meteor
#

buy all profession rare spawners

spice spire
#

Well since keys are boa, you can just move them between toons as well

woeful meteor
#

they have 600k hp die to any fresh 70 with ah gear

thorn fjord
gusty mirage
spice spire
#

It had some systems to fix it

gusty mirage
#

they were angy that no one was using it

thick sail
#

Absolutely it's on Blizzard

gusty mirage
#

so they overbuffed them

#

it was legit gonna be a tank + healer + outlaw/ww thing

#

until they decided "fuck it everything buffed by 40%"

spice spire
#

But yeah, running current content > content from last .7 should be ideal. But blizzard really messed up with this implementation

thorn fjord
#

Blame D4

thick sail
#

What they should do is, continue adding content to Forgotten Isle so people who liked that content or feel invested can continue to progress their Annulet item level

spice spire
#

I liked forgotten isle

gusty mirage
# thorn fjord Blame D4

why would I blame D4 for them saying something and not following through with it until the 10.1.5 patch?

spice spire
#

Had fun doing it

thick sail
#

It's not D4. I got my Annulet before D4 launched and it was dead as fuck there

gusty mirage
#

they strictly said they wanted it to be a 10.0.7 thing

spice surge
#

Its not like you need to kill rares for it either, you can just loot treasures

gusty mirage
#

and to be used in early progression

#

and replaced

#

and then it just... didn't

spice surge
#

And even back in the day it was faster than killing the rares

gusty mirage
#

for a lot of classes/specs

thick sail
#

I loved it. It just was such an absolute slog waiting for a person to show up so we could 3 man a boss

#

And it would like take forever to kill

#

With only 3 people

spice spire
#

I solo’d like 10 bosses

#

That took like 4 minutes a piece

thick sail
#

DK master race

spice spire
#

Got the ring and zoomed

#

Tank master role

#

😛

gilded oasis
#

tanks dont count

gusty mirage
#

if people are upset that blizzard let it stay this strong for so long, I'm with you

#

that's a very valid reason to be upset

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

being upset because they're not giving us a compensation buff for the nerf? nah

thick sail
#

Feels so awful finding a healer, doing a boss, and then no key drop, too

gilded oasis
spice spire
#

1v1 me zar

#

I’ll fight for oxipal to the day I die

gilded oasis
spice spire
thick sail
#

Yeah I'm not sad about no compensatory buff. I'm sad about a ring I farmed when farming it was awful, that is now nerfed into the ground

spice spire
#

That’s fair

gilded oasis
#

yeah that part stinks I suppose

spice spire
#

The entitledness of buffs are what bother oxi, and many that see it ad nauseam

#

Not the “man this stinks now because nerfed rings”

thorn fjord
#

he also sees the same stuff posted in here day in and day out

#

as do you

gusty mirage
#

and continued on with your life

#

except they just kept it strong for no reason

thick sail
#

It's more just that Blizzard focuses so hard on the high end, max gear people that I think frequently they screw over the average/slightly above average M+ enjoyers

gilded oasis
#

or people still using fire ring at this point

thick sail
#

Which then just turns us off

thorn fjord
thick sail
#

Like I don't have that much time to play as it is, we do 1, maybe 2 mythics a week

gusty mirage
#

it's funny you say that, because legit no one was using the annulet when they first announced it

#

they buffed it by so much so high end gamers would use it lmao

thick sail
#

They should continue supporting Forgotten Isles and make the ring upgradable

thorn fjord
#

I disagree with that

spice spire
#

Yeah and it’s still winnable at that point @thick sail I’m relegated to 4-8 a week. BecUse of work/raid schedule - it’s doable

gusty mirage
#

oh man that's a can of worms I can't get into, the amount of good content they just let rot is mind blowing

thorn fjord
#

I'd rather keep trucking forward than have to go back to older zones/content

thick sail
#

But make it soloable FFS, or at least duo-able. Keys are too hard to get solo or duo

spice spire
#

Also I really hate borrowed power

runic hinge
#

Also if you’re just a mid level m+ what’s like 2% loss by just using stat rings now

gilded oasis
#

they just need to change the rares health so people can solo or 2 man

spice spire
#

Like the isles were a chill time I hope they unlock more stuff

spice surge
spice surge
#

But ye they shouldnt have that much health to begin with

spice spire
#

But man I don’t want player power attached to it

gusty mirage
#

they could do that thing they did with the rares in the rest of DF

gusty mirage
#

that scaled health

thick sail
#

Idk it seemed like a fairly significant DPS drop swapping from the Annulet to a 430 ring

gilded oasis
#

same with caverns at this point, its hard to find people to kill shit there half the time and its "NEW"

thick sail
#

But maybe I'm just dumb and wrong

gusty mirage
#

so they'd spawn with like 1 million health

thorn fjord
#

@runic hinge sub in m+ doesnt even want the ring anymore

gusty mirage
#

and it'd infinitely scale with more tags

runic hinge
gusty mirage
gilded oasis
#

Yeah idk why they didnt do scaled health

#

like??

gusty mirage
#

the tech isn't there ig

spice surge
#

They did do scaling

thick sail
#

Caverns I feel like, there's just no incentive to do it

spice spire
spice surge
#

Its just that the base is really high

gusty mirage
#

yeah but the problem is the baseline was too high

gilded oasis
#

I love starting at a dude with 15 mil health and looking around stitchLookUp

gusty mirage
#

yeah

#

lmao

#

like I'd like to kill the rares in zaralek sometimes for barter bricks so I can get ponzo's hat

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

but literally no one's doing them, and I aint about to sit in LFG trying to organize a group to do them

spice surge
#

Like when it was released some of them had like 500M hp when a full raid attacked it

gusty mirage
#

yeah it was absurd

thick sail
#

Me staring at a rare with 15 million health

gusty mirage
#

they could've legit just gave them 1-2mil health

gilded oasis
gusty mirage
#

and just scaled it hard with more tags

#

idk

#

but what do I know

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

I'm just a lawyer, not a vidya game guy

gilded oasis
thorn fjord
gusty mirage
#

with rashok on it

thorn fjord
#

LOL

gusty mirage
#

surprise ruined ig

spice spire
#

Day 1 I was, day 2 I was below almost everyone minus a few ranged players

thorn fjord
#

Engrave the Pull count on it too

gusty mirage
#

bro if a ranged player is eating waves

spice spire
#

It dies next week

gusty mirage
#

they need to reassess their lives

#

they have SO much time to move

gilded oasis
#

our warlock was just barely under tank on wave eating

spice spire
#

I don’t think you understand how few hit me last night man

gusty mirage
#

was it 0?

#

it should be 0

#

you're a green name

#

live up to the hype loser

spice spire
#

Man

thorn fjord
#

Wheres the lie @spice spire

spice spire
#

It was like 6 in 30 pulls

gusty mirage
#

smh

spice spire
#

I’m trying to milk dog

spice surge
#

It does feel really cool to shadowstep him midjump when he jumps at you

spice spire
#

I’m running sbs I gotta do something

thorn fjord
#

Why are you running sbs

gusty mirage
#

yeah like who would get hit by 3 waves in the last 10% and die

#

wouldn't be me

thorn fjord
#

inting fr fr

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

Because I’m a simp?

#

For the bone spikening?

gusty mirage
#

didn't get hit by a wave all night

#

on the kill?

#

🏄‍♂️

spice spire
#

The classic

thick sail
#

Also: what's the consensus on the mega dungeon? As a fairly average player, and the probable target demographic for a mega dungeon, I'd like to share my thoughts.

The previous megadungeon was a disaster. Way overturned, way too hard. Like, if a person is casual enough that they can't successfully clear a +16 mythic, how the fuck is he gonna clear a dungeon that has 10 bosses and tons of 1-shot mechanics and is just an absolute slog?

thorn fjord
#

Wait which was the last one?

thick sail
#

And then the gear that drops there is worse than a +14, which literally anyone can do?

spice spire
#

They’re historically overtuned

thick sail
#

Like who is this content made for?

spice surge
#

Didnt they say the gear from it was on the hero track? ie 441

thick sail
#

The last megadungeon was the one where the first boss was the Postmaster or something

thorn fjord
#

ohh right

gusty mirage
thick sail
#

And he was so badly tuned he'd just wipe your group and you couldn't do anything

thorn fjord
#

That one was mad easy comapred to Mechagon

spice spire
#

Easier but also mechanics just didn’t work

#

Like post master

gusty mirage
#

I sat in tazavesh

#

for THREE hours

#

with whispyr and jez

thorn fjord
#

When it dropped it was a nightmare yeah

#

I remember that

thick sail
#

Yeah but like, again, as an average player who wasn't a KSM in season 2, that was a disaster and so fucking demoralizing

gusty mirage
#

and their rsham who refused to use spirit link on the last boss

thick sail
#

Like why am I even playing this game

gusty mirage
#

he must've been saving it for 9.2

thick sail
#

The Postmaster bug

#

So bad

#

So demoralizing

spice spire
#

I wouldn’t sweat specific dungeons like that

thorn fjord
#

Personally i dont see why casuals would still want to play wow but thats just me

gilded oasis
thorn fjord
#

Prob a hot take

gusty mirage
thick sail
#

And again, like, why make this content so hard? For what?

spice surge
#

Its probably intended for people to go in and progress with their friends, like oxi said its probably intended to be like a couple of hours

spice spire
#

It’ll come out with a lot

thick sail
#

Mythics already exist

thorn fjord
#

No you're not

#

You're a green name

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

That doesn’t mean jack

gusty mirage
#

I was losing my mind

spice surge
thick sail
#

My gf gets so insanely stressed tanking a +15 and I was excited for Tazavesh to be a chill UBRS or BRD style place

spice surge
#

And its something a lot of people are asking for

thick sail
#

Instead it was just a garbage wipefest

#

Like as a place for two differently minded differently skilled players to just have fun and chill

#

But it was definitely not that

spice surge
#

Idk, what do you find fun and chill, just oneshotting all of them?

thick sail
#

And again, the gear that dropped was worse than we had gotten from M+ and we weren't even KSM level

#

So like, who is the content for

#

Yeah, M+ is for stress and challenge, one or two shotting bosses is chill fun

#

To a normal human

spice spire
#

I disagree that n+ is for stress

#

I find it fun. But I also don’t actively push keys

#

I just chill in 20s and whatever

thick sail
#

20 is higher than 98% of the playerbase

#

So

#

Your perspective is wildly skewed

woeful meteor
#

20s is what blizzard thinks everyone can do tho

thick sail
#

Blizzard = idiotic

#

This is why people aren't playing this game anymore

spice spire
#

Well that’s true

#

But also I am by definition a casual of this game, my vice is just “high”end content there are achievement hunters that just do all old achievements that are one shot but require some preplanning

thick sail
#

Like it is absolutely insane to me that there's basically no way to progress my character while playing with my girlfriend that doesn't give her an anxiety attack from the level of stress required for an average player to advance

spice spire
#

That are infinitely more hardcore to me

thick sail
#

I could certainly do +20s without her

thick sail
#

But that would defeat the purpose of why I play the game

#

She tanks

spice surge
#

Isnt the mega dungeon the exact thing you are asking for?

thick sail
#

It's stressful for a casual

spice surge
#

Gearing option that isnt timegated

thick sail
#

@spice surge not if it's like Tazavesh was

gilded oasis
#

This gonna sound rud ebut I dont mean it this way.. has she tried not tanking? like just dps?

vestal wren
#

tazavesh was outgeared day 1

gilded oasis
#

tank and healer and historically the most stressfull roles as they carry or break dungeons and get blamed for mistakes

thick sail
#

I asked her to let me tank, she felt bad and sad

spice spire
#

Oh tank is definitely stressful

thick sail
#

I asked her to heal, she says she doesn't know how

#

(paladin)

gilded oasis
#

cant ever catch me tanking or healing LOL

spice spire
#

I highly recommend doing dps over healing either

spice spire
#

I’m also just not a healer

thick sail
#

If she goes ret, which she doesn't like, that's 2 DPS, and our queue is impossibly long, I'd rather just not play

gilded oasis
#

wtf wis an opp

spice spire
#

Onent

spice surge
spice spire
spice surge
#

I just wanted to do some helpful fisting

spice spire
#

I used to hpal

thorn fjord
#

Support roles 👎

thick sail
#

@spice spire true, posting our own key works well, til we can't find a healer, invite a 410 geared healer out of desperation and frustration at the queue time to a +15, fail, and the key drops

thorn fjord
#

Pew pew for life

spice spire
#

Tanking for me got infinitely easier when I learned the dungeons

#

Bad keys happen, we go again 🙂

#

I can’t tell you how many keys I’ve done where that’s the case

thick sail
#

But again, someone with anxiety isn't like "okay let's go again!" I'm all about it, I'm competitive AF

#

She is not

spice spire
#

And in the end, it’s just a game, it happens, we try again WideGeorgeHappy

thick sail
#

So again, the game basically just stonewalls noncompetitive people out of gear progression

thorn fjord
#

Just tell her to chill it’s not that serious

gilded oasis
#

I havent been there in ages but have you checked the m+ discord for people looking for groups for like the 15s range? you can sometimes find some chill people who wont make it stressfull if shit fucks up

thick sail
#

I literally had to stop playing with my friend and his wife because we couldn't time +11s

spice spire
#

Oh then take a break, walk, something that helps. This isn’t an “I’m pissed, we got this.” It’s a mistakes happen, learn and move on

thick sail
#

Because they were too casual

#

Imo they just need to get rid of the M+ timer

spice spire
#

But also zar has a good suggestion.

#

Timer is part of challenge otherwise it’s just a crawl

thick sail
#

No, I didn't know there was a m+ discord

spice spire
#

There are a few! Also some recruitment discords for m+ gamers

#

Etc

thick sail
#

The timer is awful in PUGs. I'll invite a DPS who's 7 item levels higher than me and he'll do 2/3 of my DPS

#

It's just cancer

gilded oasis
#

I cant message you and I dont want to post the invite in here but there are some

#

Pugging is just cancer especially if youre learning or anxious

thorn fjord
#

It’s not that bad

#

Like

thick sail
#

Maybe we need to break down and find a guild

thorn fjord
#

This echo chamber is weird

deft vault
#

its really not that bad lol

thorn fjord
#

The content takes like 30 min worth of research

spice spire
#

Different people have different experiences pugging

#

I’ve not had a bad time

#

Even in failure or a really toxic person

gilded oasis
#

idk Ive never had good times pugging until like 22+ keys. Every pug at 18 or below ive ever been in has been a shit show in multiple ways

spice spire
#

I just go again

thick sail
#

Yeah I mean, the experiences of a person doing +20s in PUGs are pretty clearly gonna be significantly, wildly different than someone doing +15s

thorn fjord
#

Just use raider io and check the people you’re pugging with

thick sail
#

What's raider io?

frigid girder
#

@ebon notch comeback when

spice spire
#

But I literally deal with people dying daily so fiesta keys are pretty low on my stress list

thorn fjord
spice spire
thick sail
#

@spice spire same, I'm an OR nurse, I am like the lowest stress human, nothing gets to me

frigid girder
#

id like to start a petition of fotmrogue comeback, who is in favor of it?

spice spire
#

But a guild would also help

thick sail
#

But she's super anxious

thorn fjord
#

Shows stats of completed dungeons etc

spice spire
thick sail
#

@spice spire I'll try that

thorn fjord
#

Oh man I think we’re gonna blow his mind with raider up

spice spire
#

Val is too, she can’t do wow on what I play

thorn fjord

Io*

# thick sail You've given me hope

m+ is a hard beast with anxiety and not a set group/guild group/friends to just chill with . But theres people out there you just have to find them

#

what server are you on not that it matters much

trail locust
#

i think kbp should make a new rouge

#

onlky for assa

thick sail
#

Oh, our healer btw, he ruined our +14 hat was our key. Then we sat in queue searching for an hour, got a Freehold +16, and timed that

spice spire

@trail locust what do you think KPB stands for?

@gilded oasis we're on uh

I wanna say Sargeras

spice spire
#

That’s a decent server too

#

Also I just realized zar and I are on the same server ICANT

gilded oasis
#

Are we?

thick sail
#

Question; I've been doing M+ without DBM. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, it never works, even though it's downloaded and updated

gilded oasis
#

Do you have the

thick sail
#

Do I need to reinstall it or something

#

Hers works

#

Mine does not

trail locust
#

what you guys think if i play dh can i pick up ass ass rogue

gilded oasis
#

Did you only install the base? Theres also the Dungeon pack these needs installing and turning on in game

thick sail
#

Uh, there are definitely several DMB packets in the add on list. I'll look when I get home from work

#

DBM

#

Not Dave Matthews Band

gilded oasis
#

Yeah they have to be installed but also make sure in game, under addons, they are clicked on and loading.

spice spire
gilded oasis
#

Mine got turned off one day and I played like 5 months no DBM in dungeons wondering why it wasnt working stitchUpsideDown2

thick sail
#

I will check, thanks 🙏

spice spire
# gilded oasis Are we?

Yeah, it’s been bugging me for the past two days where I’ve seen the name. But you’re usually like #1-3 on the sin m+ leaderboard in MG

gilded oasis
#

Yeah Ive been slacking this season

spice spire
#

Sub gaming

#

Wtf dog

gilded oasis
#

Ive only been doing like 1 key a week

spice spire
#

Not much reason to do one

#

Outside of vault

#

I just enjoy the homies so I do them SoCute

gilded oasis
#

nah I love em Id do em. But my long time (like 2 expacs) group dropped me end of SL and I just havent had the motivation or heart to try to find new friends.

#

so I get scraps from my BF when they need a dps but other than that I just dont do them much

#

and guild doesnt play ever

spice spire
#

That sucks dog, I hope you find some homies to push with. Keys are truly fun as king as you’re not only doing it for the push and hate your other players kinda thing

gilded oasis
#

Yeah I love them

cerulean nest
# spice spire Yeah sin is piss easy

I play all three specs and I don't find sin to be piss easy. there's less going on but you have to have way more foresight than the other specs and imperfect play (messing up CDs/clipping improved garrote etc.) is punished more harshly than the others IMO

#

slower doesn't mean easier to me

spice spire
#

It isn’t particularly slower either

#

It’s just conceptually simple

#

Considering they are playing dh and have to manage momentum

#

I believe they can

cerulean nest
#

yeah for sure, in comparison to that

#

just different

spice spire
#

Anyway, gonna finish my shift for the night, you all behave and have a great night/weekend SoCute

#

Either way. That spec is stupid.

thorn fjord
#

Eh it has its nuance

strange python
#

Weakaura spec. People confuse high apm for difficulty.

thorn fjord
#

I think currently sub is prob the easiest to play

strange python
#

Idk man every time outlaw is strong enough that I have to play it I wind up with 95+ logs with virtually no practice.

#

Just set your weakauras up properly.

thorn fjord
#

But you’re a veteran

#

I’m sure you parse decent on all specs with not so much effort

strange python
#

I've played outlaw for like three tiers since it became outlaw

#

Fair enough. Sin usually is the hardest to parse high, to me. Timings and predictiveness.

thorn fjord
#

Yeah same but it’s prio isn’t crazy and if you’re playing the other two specs at a high level it shouldn’t be too much work

blazing jewel
#

I think kir could add more skill to that spec

#

Slightly more to the rotation than ambush and pshot

thorn fjord
strange python
#

Although if we're strictly talking parsing the last two tiers, sub and outlaw are a mess of "please leave the adds up so I can parse"

blazing jewel
#

Lol right

thorn fjord
#

Yeah this tier has been nice for parsing

#

Last tier was doodoo

blazing jewel
#

That’s one of the reasons I send sin for reclear

strange python
#

It's really just experiments this tier for sin that gets cringe

blazing jewel
#

No degen stuff required

strange python
#

Although I'd bet we see more CT degenerate logs for echo.

strange python
#

I don't count assault

blazing jewel
#

Is ct even good on echo

strange python
#

Anyone 99ing assault is a degen

blazing jewel
#

Assault was taken off of all stars so nobody cares anymore

thorn fjord
#

Oh was it?

#

Nice

Assault requires you to not only extend add spawns, but not murder them instantly p3

I got 7th overall on kaz last week in mythic

#

But it’s at 20 now 😦

strange python
#

This tier does have some wild rng swings, which I hate

thorn fjord
#

Some of the kills times straight suck for sin

blazing jewel
thorn fjord
#

Depending on your group

strange python
#

I haven't looked into parse strats for sark yet

R2

By 300dps

strange python
#

I only have 437 trinkets and no windfury so I'll wait to care

blazing jewel
strange python
#

How often do you go down for sark parse

#

Or just play standard and dot big add

blazing jewel
#

Mostly depends what strat your guild does for p3

strange python
#

Our Moonkin goes down an extra time to get more haste

#

Fast push

thorn fjord
#

I’m still on zsakarn lmao

blazing jewel
#

So you don’t go down when the boss is at 15ish %

strange python
#

Yep

blazing jewel
#

Hmm

#

Id look at nocts or whispyrs logs for that

spice surge
#

Pretty sure theres no reason to do the echo strat now of going down at like 5:45

blazing jewel
#

I’m not familiar with those timings my guild did the normal strat so I planned for that

spice surge
#

Since the dot just does significantly less damage

strange python
#

We will also not hold p1 echo anymore

blazing jewel
#

Yea I could see that working well

#

And lines up for everyone’s 2 mins

#

The boss dies so quick during the last go down for us

#

My dm didn’t even finish

strange python
#

Echo DPS feels weird. But I can't tell how much I'm being griefed by having no windfury, no monk, and 437 echo trinket.

woeful meteor
#

how does corruption timer work on nelth interested how speed strat for that boss will look

strange python
#

Sepsis doesn't like up super well for the adds without holding the end of p1

blazing jewel
#

One of my guildies told me to play “the good spec” on sark last night lmfao

strange python
#

Plz lord don't say they're asking for sub

blazing jewel
#

Oh you know it

strange python
#

I'm 100% convinced sin has been better for sark since the aura buff

thorn fjord
#

Just shut that shit down like i do

spice surge
thorn fjord
#

Whenever the guild talks about rogue I tell them theyre wrong and to fuck off

#

they usually are

blazing jewel
strange python
#

All sub brings over sin on that fight is more add damage.

thorn fjord
#

Which wont make or break shit and your ST is way more valuable

How do you guys do cooldowns on sark

balmy condor
#

sepsis with deathmark, vanish on cd

vapid sierra
#

What about intermissions and that bullshit

#

No holding?

#

I remember someone saying yesterday hold at end of p2 for p3

balmy condor
#

sepsis is 1:30

#

you have to hold to use with deathmark

vapid sierra
#

So I just hold sepsis for dm?

#

If I’m holding it for dm where does vanish come into play

balmy condor
vapid sierra
#

Oh shit I see

#

My b

#

So basically just sepsis whenever you have dm and vanish on cd, ty

balmy condor
#

yap

vapid sierra
#

What about opener, do I vanish when my sepsis gar is in pandemic

balmy condor

yeh or when it drops

either way

Is there a good AP DTB build for M+?

no

AP+DTB just isn't as good in M+, the only case I could see it being good is in a dungeon where you don't pull more than like 4/5 mobs at a time

But even then IC is probably better

hello, I recently got back to the game after 2y break. I read the icy veins and the faqs, but I'm very confused about exhanguinate: icyveins doesn't spec in it because it's apparently bugged, but in the faqs it's being referred to in the rotation, so do we pick it or not :< ? Also, do we just have to deal with the fact that our cds just don't align with each other every 2min? Some are 1.5, some 2, some 3

This shows how confusing the spec is lol

Y'all excited for a ping system to come to wow?

royal lantern
#

sure?

#

game needed something like that for ages

#

raid Markers are not really flexible

spice surge
#

Hopefully there no bait ping

#

But im sure there is going to be one thats synonomous with what the bait ping is in league anyway

royal lantern
#

idk why people say that

#

assholes allready are assholes

#

nothing will change there

#

+most people dont really say anything anyway peeposhrug

runic hinge
#

When I really started playing wow again I realized how much I missed the ping system in league

storm belfry
#

I want to be able to mute the pings

runic hinge
#

Wow I haven’t even pinged you that much yet

gusty mirage
#

it's gonna be lit

vestal wren
#

pings do sound like a nice addition

#

think league of legnds was the first company to introduce them and a lot of games adopted it after

vestal wren
#

what game had visual pings before that?

royal lantern
#

im 100% sure you had pings in GW 1allready

#

@marble hemlock can correct me if im wrong

marble hemlock
#

yep

#

was hugely important in pvp, and also had gameplay functionality with henchmen

#

since most of the campaign and scenarios used multiple characters for storytelling purposes

#

so if you were in a party with regular players, good, if not, you had henchmen and you could control them with pings

#

and in pvp you used it for targetswapping etc. to "call" for a target

#

Priority Targeting (i.e. calling, a term used by many players) means to announce gameplay relevant information on team chat. It is located under the "Control >> Targeting" tab in Options of the user interface. The proper use of this feature can exponentially increase the combat effectiveness of a party, as it is a very quick and easy way to dist...

vestal wren
marble hemlock
#

you could ping debuffs and shit as well for chat messages

#

that would announce what you pinged, i.e. spell is on cooldown, spell is ready, im debuffed etc.

vestal wren
#

league was the first mainstream game that i saw it in

marble hemlock
#

and the NPCs you played with did it as well so you would basically know what your henchmen were doing

#

and could play around it

#

there were a few ritu or mesmer builds that were really successful in pvp with just henchmen

vestal wren
#

rly like how it works in other games

marble hemlock
#

gw1 was insanely ahead of its time in many aspects

#

like, it was really fucking good. the henchmen in pvp were fully customizable, so you basically created an NPC from scratch of a certain class, allocated their stats and skills and then through the callout system youd basically guide them and use them. compared to the regular medium-skill level player, henchmen were actually better than players lol

vestal wren
#

every system that improves on the baseline is nice

marble hemlock
#

but ye, the ping system was goated. youd call a prio target and then other players could just press a button and target the same target, youd do a countdown on coms and just burst that player

#

kinda like if you set a focus, others could target your focus tzarget with just 1 button

vestal wren
#

sounds rly good for ranked bgs or solo shuffel

marble hemlock
blissful forge
#

but how will they implement it

#

will it be like fortnite pinging

#

that you need to actually aim where you want to ping

#

i cant imagine how they would implement it that its not scuffed

marble hemlock
vestal wren
#

they didn't went into detail

marble hemlock
#

just copy gw1

#

its really not that hard 😄

vestal wren
#

so we will need to wait and see what and how it works

blissful forge
#

i think if its like gw1 it will be scuffed due to many ppl using ctrl/shift etc. as modifiers

marble hemlock
#

i mean itd be a hotkey

#

that you assign yourself?

vestal wren
#

apex and league both have a good system, gw1 too

#

a lot of places to get inspiration from

#

think ffo has a ping system too?

marble hemlock
#

its about the core feature of
player A calls target
player B can target this target with a single hotkey

technically you can already do that if you have a dedicated caller and just do a /targettarget macro

#

but its about this feature being "sticky" on that target, so even if player A switches who they are targetting again, youd still get the "called" enemy

vestal wren
#

you could probably do a weakaura/addon for that functionality too

marble hemlock
#

once you have a feature like that, all you need is a customizable hotkey for "call target" and "target called target"

vestal wren
#

people don't exploit addon funcionality to the full extend

marble hemlock
#

dunno fuu

#

unless its a boss1 or pvp frame

#

you cant target enemies based on targetmarkers like skull, diamond etc.

#

so if you have a "caller" for smth like this, you will only be able to attack their target if they do not switch back

vestal wren
#

would need to look into the api if you can check that

marble hemlock
#

it doesnt work because if it would, people wouldve used it time and time again for interrupts 😄

#

you still need to manually select/focus your interrupt marked target

vestal wren
#

you can do a lot of stuff that people don't exploit atm

#

just because it requires a lot of effort to implement

marble hemlock
#

if 3 mobs have skull/diamond/triangle, you cant just have a macro go /cast [@diamond] Kick

vestal wren
#

for blizz to ban/restrict it within a week

night delta
#

As raid leader, having the possibility to just put a "be here" or "not there" temporary marker as I make a call is incredibly enticing

#

Less talking, more visual cues, faster brain circuit

marble hemlock
#

well you can place groundmarkers via hotkey if you use MRT

#

or just via macro

night delta
#

Yeah but groundmarkers just fade in discreetly

marble hemlock
#

depends a bit on the room/boss design

#

some stand out like blue/purple

#

but if the bossroom and mechanics are blue/purple

#

it kinda blows

keen spruce
#

how do you change the zone map size for the neltharion WA?

#

mine is so tiny

night delta
#

Yeah, also I might want to have that as permanent markers already

marble hemlock
#

try this

#

just put whatever number for resize purposes

keen spruce
#

that worked ty

marble hemlock
#

someone needs to fix me a proper pepeOK emote

#

still bothers me that the hand is the wrong way around

keen spruce
marble hemlock
#

no just

#

the proper pepeOK but like

#

the hand needs to be the correct way

#

cuz it isnt

#

if hes using his right hand, the thumb wouldnt be in front

keen spruce
#

fingers on the wrong side of hand

ember mural
#

Best I got

marble hemlock
royal lantern
# marble hemlock it kinda blows

eh, think it also helps with making people more aware

always feels like as if "stack on purple" is somewhat hard for people to notice in chaos, a new marker pinging up that says "stack here" will get your attention instantly

marble hemlock
#

ye

royal lantern
#

like, its 100% positive in all ways

#

if its not needed, people will just not use it

vestal wren
#

the biggest benefit is for the more causal playerbase

#

because you can easy communicate stuff and as mentioned make it fairly easy to guide people

gaunt moat
#

I'm annoyed by all the negativity of people about this feature. I think it's absouletly a great addition, and I can think of so many ways it will help in raiding.

vestal wren
#

huh, what negativity

#

everyone i talked to liked it

royal lantern
gaunt moat
#

people are saying it's not needed and that it's going to be used in toxic ways

royal lantern
#

as if people suddenly get toxic when we get pings

keen spruce
#

i just want someone to die in raid and have 19 people spam ping them question marks

royal lantern
#

man, toxic people allready are toxic

vestal wren
gaunt moat
royal lantern
#

they dont suddenly turn into that cus we can ping stack symbols

vestal wren
#

but random groups have a lot of communication problems

royal lantern
#

i mean, world markers are allready limited cus most fights use all of them by default

gaunt moat
#

This is huge for raid leaders

vestal wren
#

while the top end might have better visuals, but already are good in communication

keen spruce
#

great for accessibility

#

good feature

#

should have been in the game several years ago

gaunt moat
#

Exsang should have been removed 5 months ago starege

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

i like to think more positive about it. And give them a 👍 for introducing new features

keen spruce
#

notter why magmo not dead susGe

gaunt moat
#

you're raiding today, no?

keen spruce
#

ye

#

today and tomorrow

gaunt moat
#

you'll kill it pretty quickly i'm sure

keen spruce
#

did you guys kill it?

gaunt moat
#

yes

keen spruce
#

did they private log again PlakPlak

gaunt moat

yes Cring

gaunt moat

i had a 10% log, so eh....

keen spruce
gaunt moat
#

not my fault though, healers decided i don't require healing

#

twice.

#

I gotta show you this.

#

this is me when i was marked for the soak everyone needs to stand in:

gaunt moat
#

was on CD

royal lantern
#

just cloak bro

gaunt moat
#

that's when i was marked. healing recieved over 7 seconds before dying:

#

ONE HEAL PLEASE

#

Then I got ressed and died instantly.
and then i got ressed again.

gilded oasis
#

but did you cloak?

gaunt moat
gilded oasis
#

I would have pinged for you to cloak

#

I think it would have helped

#

but that sucks

gaunt moat
#

?

strange python
#

Is that during spittle?

gaunt moat
#

I don't know the ability name. it's when he marks 3 targets, and one of them get a circle you gotta stand in

gilded oasis
#

the mythic soak

strange python
#

Ye spittle. Pretty cringe they aren't spot healing.

gilded oasis
#

maybe notter was mean to the healers earlier and deserved it

gaunt moat
#

I defintly was mean after.

#

(joking, i'm never mean)

#

I wonder if i can do anything to do better on echo of nerltharion
our feral is kicking my ass in dps.
and feral is even getting like a 6-7% buff now.

gusty mirage
#

drop shrouded for 3/3 zold

#

cause you hold DPS in p1 anyway

#

you catch up in p3

gaunt moat
#

So far we never had to hold DPS in p1. we're actually cutting it pretty close.

gusty mirage
#

yeah when people get more comfy you'll start doing it

#

and it's dogshit

#

and I hate it

#

then in p2 eventually the boss will get immune on last add

#

and you're sitting there playing with your balls

strange python
#

We've stopped holding now in farm, I actually liked holding. Sepsis timing doesn't line up with adds at all anymore.

gaunt moat
#

If we'll reach that, than yeah, 3/3 zold seems very reasonable
but that's a big if OMEGAKEKW

gusty mirage
#

but it didn't really seem super high impact

#

ala KT

strange python
#

True

gusty mirage
#

like we've pushed early before

#

and nothing bad happened

#

lmao

gaunt moat
#

I'm just kinda dismayed at feral getting buffs when it's already doing top dps Cring

gusty mirage
#

ig cause you technically get some extra "milk" time while he's casting?

strange python
#

It just feels.weirf not having sepsis for the adds

storm belfry
gusty mirage
storm belfry
#

Gm oxi!!

gaunt moat
#

that's actually something i was wondering.
how do you use sepsis at phase 2?
go full on adds, or imp garrote on boss, and then move to add?

gusty mirage
#

boss for sure

#

then 2nd add you vanish gar boss and add

#

and then continue the payphone singing

gaunt moat
#

and DM boss?

gusty mirage
#

yea

#

esp after they nerfed the radius of the hearts

#

it's not as spooky anymore

gaunt moat
#

we're rogue, nothing spooky for us starege

gusty mirage
#

so the other dps can focus on the adds

gaunt moat
#

ah

gusty mirage
#

you just crankachino the boss

#

then boss dies

#

then you get ass fucked in p1 on sark

#

it's great

gaunt moat
#

It's gonna get nerfed by the time we get there copium

gusty mirage
#

p1 could use a bit more of a nerf

#

ngl

#

the p2-p3 oblivion overnerfs were too much imo

gaunt moat
#

i don't agree with seli that rashok is bad for assassination

#

it's actually perfect timing

gilded oasis
#

the last DM timing sorta stinks cause theres not really enough time at the end to use 4set much but its useful timing if you're going into enrage I guess

strange python
gaunt moat
#

The bigger share of the damage is during the DM than the trialing set buff anyway.
if you kill it right before enrage, it's perfect for sin.

strange python
#

Top echo logs were sending sepsis into the adds, I think.

gusty mirage
#

top logs are likely farm logs

#

where they know they're gonna hit immunity on the boss anyway

#

ya know

random tiger
#

Oh...

worn pilot
#

Guys weird question but is there like a baseline amount of haste you would like?

vestal wren
#

there is no baseline amount

#

the amount you should have is what the sim tells you

#

but the spec works well even with 0 haste

worn pilot
#

Ye that’s what I thought. I didn’t know if I was fried or what. It told me crit haste and I was like alright sick. Just figured I would ask

random tiger
#

i just now realized that sepsis grants you a free use of a stealth skill, now i understand what the opener mean, it means to delay the first stealth garrote to near the end of the sepsis dot?

#

what happens to the second one that you can do when the dot fades?

idle inlet
#

The first sepis garrote isn't as important as the 2nd

#

You wait until the buff is about to drop off because no matter what you won't be able to hold it long enough to make it to pandemic

random tiger
#

ok, so the first stealth garrote is going to drop anyway w/ sepsis opener so there's no point in trying to refresh it early? is that what you mean?

idle inlet
#

Yeah so what I do is garrote anytime between 0-5 secs left on my first sepsis buff

deft flicker
idle inlet
#

Then I wait until the last possible global to garrote when I get the 2nd sepsis buff

deft flicker
random tiger
#

ok, so opener makes it complicated because of the opening garrote, but beyond that it's basically stretch them apart as much as you can to benefit from pandemic?

#

without loosing both oppurtunities

deft flicker
#

Yep

#

I think each sepsis can give you like 40s of empowered garrote if you do it right

random tiger
#

that does sound pretty massive if you can pull it off right

deft flicker
#

Not that hard to do, just always Sepsis - Garrote - Shiv (since you save a Shiv for it as well) and delay the second Garrote

random tiger
#

oh no not shiv

idle inlet
deft flicker
#

I mean what else would you spend it on

random tiger
#

that has been consistently the hardest thing for me to do in this rotation for some god awful reason

deft flicker
#

Save at least one foer Sepsis, save both for Deathmark

idle inlet
deft flicker
#

Sub/law don’t care about shiv as much

idle inlet
#

I made a weak aura that tells me to shiv when I'm about to cap on charges or during sepsis or death mark

random tiger
#

that sounds amazing

idle inlet
#

Yeah it's kinda complex if your self taught and I'm sure mine isn't very efficient but if you learn how to make weak auras they can help you perform so much better

#

Especially being able to customize them to match your needs

keen spruce
#

okay magmo better die today so we can have an hour to troubleshoot nelth WAs

idle inlet

#

Is there a way in raid bots to see what ilvl neck piece i would need to replace elemental lariat besides droptimizer?

idle inlet
#

There is no easy way

gusty mirage
#

my recommendation would be you use a crafted neck as a baseline, and just set it to dif ilvls

idle inlet
#

You can do gear compare to see if a new neck is good enough to replace

gusty mirage
#

and then top gear

clever sapphire
#

Get a 385 neck, craft toxic boots/wrists and the 385 neck gonna be better already

gusty mirage

if you need help with it lmk

No the only people above me in prio are our 2 warriors

gusty mirage

wait until you realize prot warrior gets more dps than sin rogue in wft

idle inlet

Yeah it does but that's k cuz I'm still getting it lol

gusty mirage

also if your warriors are fury

#

they should not be ahead of you

in any circumstance
