spice surge
#

Can obv feint the roars if you are low but its still kinda oof

blazing jewel
#

Eleem

#

Meet me at magmorax next week

#

We have beef to settle

spice surge
#

Old ranks are going to be frozen right? kekw

blazing jewel
#

Bro

spice surge
blazing jewel
spice surge
#

Surely my vault next week isnt another 6 tokens

blazing jewel
#

A singular crumb in the vault please

gusty mirage
#

that you can use to craft nothing

keen spruce
#

"shmeepy you're so squishy"

#

says the raid lead

gusty mirage
#

yeah no shit

#

people tend to be when there's giga rot damage

#

and they're getting no heals

#

what a wild concept

keen spruce
#

maybe if my slice and dice wasn't the highest healing i recieved for 8 seconds

gusty mirage
#

no shot

#

your leech for sure out does snd

keen spruce
#

o yeah probably leech

drifting cloud
#

if the soak targets you probably a good time to cloak

#

other than that not much you can do

gusty mirage
#

yeah

#

plus cloak has little value outside of that

#

not like it clears anything

#

might as well save yourself the big chunk

#

can cloak knockback too

spice surge
#

If you get the circles (especially the meteor one) its good to have cloak

gusty mirage
#

esp the meteor one that can double hit you and proc cheat

spice surge
#

What can you cloak the knockback

gusty mirage
#

yeah

spice surge
#

Even though it does phys damage? kekman

gusty mirage
#

yeah

#

makes no sense

earnest remnant
#

huh?

#

i got knocked

#

back

#

with cloak

gusty mirage
#

skill issue

earnest remnant
#

2 weeks ago

gusty mirage
#

idk

#

might only be cloakable on normal/heroic

#

I haven't raided mythic in 2 weeks

#

stop yelling at me

blazing jewel
#

Stealthi get his legs I’ll get the arms

gusty mirage
#

y'all just mad you had scuffed reclears

#

while I was chilling

blazing jewel
#

I don’t think he had a scuffed reclear

#

I think they’ve been 1 day reclearing lol

gusty mirage
#

stealthi roleplayed the little mermaid on magmorax

#

don't tell me it wasn't scuffed

blazing jewel
#

@earnest remnant

gusty mirage
#

plus the man had like 0 hours of sleep

earnest remnant
gusty mirage
#

it was not a great time for him

blazing jewel
#

That double step build goes crazy on magmorax huh

gusty mirage
#

he plays sub

#

what double step build

#

can't take double step

#

costs damage

#

unlucky

spice surge
#

You def can, you just get fucked in the opener like 2% of the time

blazing jewel
#

The one where you have a .000001% chance to get a bad outcome in the opener

#

But people still don’t play it kekw

gusty mirage
#

or hear me out

#

they just give sub a charge of step baseline

#

so it has 2 steps

#

like it had forever

blazing jewel
#

Step this

gusty mirage
#

we could also get silly

spice surge
#

It sims like 8 dps lower kekman massive dps loss

gusty mirage
#

and give sprint 1min cd baseline

#

damage is damage

#

fucking nerds

spice surge
#

But ye it should be baseline, im hopeful for realz changes prayge

gusty mirage
#

see you both in outlaw next tier

#

gonna be litty

earnest remnant
#

nah im good ty

gusty mirage
#

we'll keep it rolling until our hearts bleed

blazing jewel
#

I think I’ve had multiple raid nights of nelth and mag prog where I played double step and always got find weakness in the opener

gusty mirage
#

no grapple hook or acro tho

spice surge
#

Aintnoway youre catching me in outlaw spec

earnest remnant
#

me on sub

#

while you guys play outlaw

gusty mirage
#

I yearn for the mines

#

its minecraft time

earnest remnant
#

i havent played mc

#

in like 10+ years

gusty mirage
#

I just level mountains

#

until I die

#

then I alt f4

blazing jewel
#

Don’t they have a lot more things now

#

Like major updates in the past two years

spice surge
#

Only reason to spec outlaw is to get the +10% haste for a bug abusing assa opener Surebud

gusty mirage
spice surge
#

Although its not nearly as relevant now that exsang is dead

blazing jewel
gusty mirage
#

I know what you were talking about

#

my threat remains

blazing jewel
gusty mirage
#

"loool assa rogues talking about sark p1 damage, so glad I rerolled"

#

"links heroic p1 damage on an uhdk"

woeful meteor
spice surge
blazing jewel
#

Spill eleem

woeful meteor
#

wicked parsing strats for reclear acquired

gusty mirage
#

imagine doing that for +10% haste

blazing jewel
#

Rn

woeful meteor
blazing jewel
#

Is it adrenaline rush and then swap specs

spice surge
#

Dance

#

But yes

gusty mirage
#

lmao please try it guys

blazing jewel
gusty mirage
#

I can't wait for yall to get an 11 outlaw parse

#

cause you're confused as fuck

blazing jewel
#

I can’t wait for the prepull

gusty mirage
#

cause a boomkin pulled early

spice surge
#

But you have to apply your poisons

#

So you only get like 10s

blazing jewel
#

It’s going to be like the sub swap sets in shadowlands all over again

spice surge
#

Which is why its not a big deal anymore now that exsang is dead

blazing jewel
gusty mirage
#

it wasn't a big deal before we knew exsang was dead anyway

#

the fucking opener took like 8 globals

#

lmao

woeful meteor
#

I'm so doing that on sark tomorrow

spice surge
#

Well ye but you have it up until the exsang

woeful meteor
#

if they fuck my opener I run it down

spice surge
#

And then exsang snapshots it and it runs out

#

You still get the haste for like +10s

blazing jewel
#

I need to set up meme weakauras for outlaw

gusty mirage
#

so you don't cast puzzlebox

#

is what you're saying

blazing jewel
#

Going to have a mental breaks down without funny noises while playing that

spice surge
#

The buff is 20s oxi

gusty mirage
#

how

spice surge
#

Spec 2 points into it kekman

gusty mirage
#

jesus

woeful meteor
#

oxi never did that

gusty mirage
#

you europeans need other hobbies

woeful meteor
#

he's on the starter build

gusty mirage
#

buncha cursed fucks yall are

#

actually

#

lemme log in and show you my outlaw talents

#

lemme pause my wowhead shit

#

for the funnies

#

@spice surge

spice surge
#

Respectable outlaw tree

gusty mirage
#

oh I accidentally rightclicked something

#

sorry 5 available points

#

I think I did it to send a friend a build in the first month

#

elusiveness btw

#

that's how old this was

#

it was from before they moved cheat

gaunt moat
#

Yeah, i had to dig deep into logs to show i didn't get healed
because they said "if you're a rogue and you die you're bad"

keen spruce
#

i've got the logs ready

#

here's a nice one

#

that's a boomkin

thick sail
#

How good is Lethal Dose

balmy condor
#

Incredibly

#

It’s one of the must-takes

storm belfry
#

How are you whispyr

balmy condor
#

I’m good

#

Busy day so far

brazen zodiac
#

pog

balmy condor
#

But should be good now

#

We get to spend like 24 bil meso in maplestory today

#

Hitting some pog upgrades

#

Might toss the stream up and stuff

#

You know the vibe

#

So it’s a good day

gaunt moat
#

you have only 2 healers or something?
how is it even possible for healers to not heal ambiently for 5 seconds

#

not even talking about healing enough to save you, just like, to show them on the healing

keen spruce
#

nah man rogue just squishy

drifting cloud
#

are those logs you being the target of group soak or just the usual dmg?

keen spruce
#

most of them are me dropping a puddle

#

i think the one where only the boomkin healed me i was running out for something i don't member

gaunt moat
#

I think all healers had a secret meeting where they decided to not heal rogue

#

i was also told

#

use cloak starege

keen spruce
#

like if it's agreed that i will not receive any heals

drifting cloud
#

I mean just lack of accountability

keen spruce
#

then i'll press buttons

#

but like it's 1m into the fight

#

and i have like 8 stacks

#

if u tell me i have to cloak

#

that early on low stacks

gaunt moat
#

Did you take elusivness like i recommended shmeeps?

keen spruce
#

then i'll cloak

#

ye

drifting cloud
#

but its kinda common on magmorax I guess, people saw rwf 5shot the boss and they think its free

keen spruce
#

only way to live the last 1/3 of the fight

gaunt moat
#

did it help?

keen spruce
#

i've been running it the whole time

#

so i imagine it does

#

cuz if i forget to feint anything i die instantly

#

after like the 3 min mark

gaunt moat
#

can also evasion to reduce damage don't forget

keen spruce
#

o i didn't even read that part

#

i mean you can have feint up for every mechanic basically

gaunt moat
drifting cloud
#

looking at my logs

#

on 4 kills I seem to average around 3 feints

gaunt moat
#

Basically I think you should use evasion if you get targeted with the puddle

frozen iris
#

How many sparks should we have at the moment? 4?

blazing jewel
gaunt moat
#

We were geared and killed it 0.3s into enrage

drifting cloud
pure moth
blazing jewel
#

I remember vodka had a really close check and they are blasters

storm belfry
#

Holy shit lmao

balmy condor
storm belfry
#

Are you streaming that

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Event in 30 min

keen spruce
#

you just have way more raid uptime

#

or should

#

still about 1.7m

gaunt moat
#

DPS checks seem really tight this tier

blazing jewel
#

soooo many guilds got stuck for a while on rashok

keen spruce
#

can you check average stack on magmorax on wcl?

#

stacks

#

cuz i'm lookin at damage taken for all of our wipes

gaunt moat
#

stacks of what, puddle soak?

keen spruce
#

yeah

#

cuz i'm taking like infinite more damage from searing heat

gaunt moat
#

can check debuffs

keen spruce
#

than other people

gaunt moat
#

link the log

keen spruce
#

found it

woeful meteor
#

that fury is gaiming

gaunt moat
blazing jewel
#

wow shmeepy standing in fire

#

classic

keen spruce
#

oh that pull they sacrificed me

gaunt moat
#

wtf is that lol

keen spruce
#

i ran meteor out

#

got 56 stacks

#

they rezzed me

#

i didn't realize i had 56 stacks

balmy condor
# keen spruce

This is your sign to stop being such a fucking simp cuck for your guild and let them do some mechanics for once in their pathetic existence

keen spruce
#

took rez

#

instantly died

drifting cloud
#

should have saved cloak skill issue

blazing jewel
#

yea brez when you get saced on that fight dont work

#

you keep your stacks

keen spruce
#

you still get stacks through cloak apparently

#

or it ran out

#

or something

#

idk

#

i cloaked when i ran out tho

blazing jewel
#

you gain stacks with cloak up

spice surge
#

You still get stacks

night delta
drifting cloud
#

you prob ran super far I guess

#

think I lived once

blazing jewel
#

the people that sac basically cant be rezzed

#

for that reason

keen spruce
#

well we were supposed to use some gate/grip tech

#

but there was no gate

#

or grip

drifting cloud
#

regardless dont think your tanks should be in the middle of that list

#

think our tanks go to like 35 stacks from first 3? soaks

#

or smth

keen spruce
#

well one tank was like 45 min late

#

so he would me much higher

#

cuz we were just pulling with 19 for the first like 1/3 of our pulls

drifting cloud
#

yeah but even on wipes that arent 5min

blazing jewel
#

my guilds mag kill was a disaster

#

had 2 dcs

#

brought in two unprepared people and killed 2 pulls later

agile osprey
#

I definitely kill Rashock this week

gaunt moat
#

@keen spruce why did you make me look at this. now i got pissed off for no reason.
This Demon hunter never fucking does any mechanics. it's annoying.

agile osprey
ionic kelp
#

this is the 6min cd rotation right? vanish -> gar -> sepsis -> dm -> shiv + tea -> er -> env -> gar

versed mica
#

Where your rupt at

ionic kelp
#

oh maybe after the vanish garrote if rupture needs to be renewed at that point

woeful meteor
#

you hold vanish again at 6 min

keen spruce
#

idk how many 6m fights don't have you using vanish earlier and desyncing from deathmark

ionic kelp
#

ya wasnt sure about that, just asking incase

woeful meteor
#

there isn't this tier

keen spruce
#

ig rashock

ionic kelp
#

can rashok even go 6minutes

#

thought the longest is like 548

keen spruce
#

6:30

#

is most prog kills

ionic kelp
#

oh ya im off by a min

#

ty tho

woeful meteor
#

Rashok, Sark and Echo last over 6 on a usual first kill in mythic but for Sark and Echo Timers are kinda screwed cause of mechanics

keen spruce
#

yeah last 2 bosses you're using vanish at different times

#

so there is no big line up at 6m

blazing jewel
#

if you do the common strat the kill time on sark sucks

#

have like 20s to kill the boss at the end will all your cds up

drifting cloud
#

and big value of the great 4p

blazing jewel
#

yea lol

woeful meteor
#

next season our 4p will be great surely

spice surge
#

Concentrate more damage into deathmark so the augs always want to buff us for their breath Surebud

woeful meteor
#

4p Kingsbane dmg increased by 800%

#

spec fixed

blazing jewel
#

I think on my most recent kill my dm didnt even fully finish

tall atlas
#

Like the only thing to my understanding you can do is make sure you save vanish garrotte and shivs for dm

#

Or am I missing something

keen spruce
#

or sepsis garrote

#

but yeah pretty much

tall atlas
#

Yeah that too

#

But normally you have sepsis up like 30s before

#

So you use those two to get you to the vanish

#

Then you send?

keen spruce
#

on 2nd dm yeah

#

you end up vanishing a few second after dm

tall atlas
#

Yeah

#

Nice ty

crimson snow
#

hmm is fragment still oversimming? I have it 447, I feel like it might compensate, idk

gaunt moat
#

yes

#

by about 18%

crimson snow
#

meh.. yeah I was hoping that changed

keen spruce
#

it's not the most heinous thing in the world at 447, but there's like 5 trinkets that vastly outclass it

gaunt moat
#

It's also obnoxious to use at 3m cd

keen spruce
#

well it's just a 4m cd

gaunt moat
keen spruce
#

but it get's really cringe on fights where you hold DM to 5m

gaunt moat
#

I just hate trying to sync like 3 things while i'm holding them for multiple minutes

#

i just wanna use em' exsangery

#

Thistle Tea?
I DOWN ALL 3 STACKS IN ONE GULP

royal lantern
#

found the brit

keen spruce
gaunt moat
#

I'm way eastern than that

tall atlas
gusty mirage
#

when you wouldn't get another cast anyway

drifting cloud
#

rashok and mag only I guess

gusty mirage
#

yeah

keen spruce
#

if you save cloak for the 6m slam on rashok and you're killin him at enrage

#

u can send on CD and squeeze one mroe in there at 6m

#

or part of one

drifting cloud
#

yeah wont happen on farm 😛

#

and depending how broken augvokers going to look funny on alot of bosses

#

people in my guild were saying we might have to move sark lust to p3 or well probably hit auto phase ..

teal iris
blazing jewel
#

youre better than this

keen spruce
#

that was the only pull he beat me on

#

idk what happened

#

he just popped off on our 2%

blazing jewel
keen spruce
#

we're not talkin about that okay

#

we're talkin about the enh shaman griefing his puddles

#

and doin tank damage

blazing jewel
#

just uhh

#

kill it before it kills you

keen spruce
somber sparrow
#

the patch notes make me laugh

#

almost every class has paragraphs of updates. rogues have 4 lines... and zero are in assassination. I think they are looking at data of LFR or something

#

"developers notes - We are lowering the effectiveness of all Primordial Stones that deal damage by 40% to increase gearing options for players. We are compensating specific specializations that are commonly using the Onyx Annulet ring for this damage loss."

Except all assassination rogues that use the annulet, we will assume they'll find other ways to make up for the loss.

blazing jewel
#

????

woeful meteor
#

the way you make up for the less off annulet is getting better gear

blazing jewel
#

sin already replaces it

woeful meteor
#

it isnt bis in its current state

keen spruce
#

we got aura buffed and annulet became very mid like 3 weeks ago

blazing jewel
#

a spark ring was like 500dps over annulet for me

tacit otter
idle inlet
#

God how long till people stop coming into chat complaining about a ring that we don't use anymore getting nerfed.

keen spruce
#

never

#

we always complain

#

about everything

idle inlet
#

I hate it

#

I have read the same message everyday for like a week now

keen spruce
#

it has been this way

idle inlet
#

I'm over it

keen spruce
#

since the dawn of time

drifting cloud
#

big brain statement for sure, yeah its not bis

keen spruce
#

I thikn i originally joined in legion

drifting cloud
#

but half the logs still use it

keen spruce
#

and i was the one asking the questions

#

and i got roasted

drifting cloud
#

because were not at unlimited sparks yet

keen spruce
#

now i ask unique stupid questions so when i get flamed at least i'm original

keen spruce
#

look at all of this flaming

drifting cloud
#

🧾

keen spruce
#

especially that last one

drifting cloud
#

oxi flames me more than that in a span of 3days

keen spruce
#

these are only the ones where i am mentioned by name

drifting cloud
#

he mistypes it so you cant search

somber sparrow
# idle inlet It's dependent on your gear right now. Low ilvl makes it better but you do repla...

do you know if raidbots is accurate when it comes to simming the annulet vs other rings? This compares two rings I have access to (and an alternate secondary type for the crafted ring) according to the most recent build. I'm only 437 ilvl so i don't have access to anything above 441 realistically unless the underrot ring shows up in my vault for mythic+. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8k11SqHS4JLzT9wiZQtfzr

haste/mastery crafted seems to be the closest, but still says a dps loss.

balmy condor
#

If you had another 5 ilvl it wouldn’t be a loss

arctic current
#

Does OCE become BiS next week at 447ilvl?

balmy condor
#

No

#

It’s a strong competitor though

idle inlet
balmy condor
#

Kinda weird

idle inlet
#

Some people are casuals whispyr we have to tolerate them cuz they pay for the game for us

#

Even if they are filthy disgusting casuals

somber sparrow
#

i have yet to even get enough aspect crests to make 447 items

balmy condor
somber sparrow
#

i'm assassination, i get almost auto declined

#

but i am at 2200 rating this season so far

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

You’re getting declined for being 2200

#

3 months into a tier

idle inlet
#

Bro just play sub it's so easy in m+ I play that shit way wrong don't optimize my play at all and I get ez 110k overall which is more than enough for a 16

balmy condor
#

Not cause you play Assassination

#

But yeh if you just crafted it at 447

#

It would beat it already

#

If you had more ilvl, the 437 would beat it as well

#

Realistically it’s an easy replacement unless you’re giga stacked on vers for some reason

idle inlet
balmy condor
#

If the ring does 10 damage all the time

#

Now you get ilvl and do 107 damage

#

So stats are 10.7

#

And the ring is still 10

drifting cloud
#

hmm with 2 more tiers in xpac I guess were gonna get somewhat deep into the drs

gray hazel
#

Is it possible to sim for the annut nerfs already? Or have to wait for Tuesday?

idle inlet
#

I'm to dumb to understand lol I read your explanation and it didn't compute

vapid sierra
#

Does 10.5 come out Tuesday

idle inlet
#

God I'm funny

gray hazel
balmy condor
#

Annulet will do X damage

#

Regardless of if you’re 447 item level

#

Or 50

idle inlet
balmy condor
#

But if you’re ilvl 50

#

Your stats won’t do shit

drifting cloud
#

everything else as youd normally do it

balmy condor
#

Or alternatively

#

If you don’t want to ptr=1

#

Simply unselect your annulet

#

Because it’s gonna be dogshit

idle inlet
#

Lol

balmy condor
#

It was losing to 410 world quests rings for me

#

It’s like

#

Actually just not worth considering

idle inlet
#

Do stats have diminishing returns if you get like a mix of all 4 or do they only diminish in value when you build just 1 or 2?

balmy condor
#

They diminish independently

#

Lots of crit will diminish crit

idle inlet
#

Yeah but doesn't getting a lot of crit improve haste cuz more haste means you can take advantage of more crits and so on with the other stats?

balmy condor
#

That’s not diminishing returns

#

That’s just logic

idle inlet
#

Yeah but what I'm asking is like if I kept getting more and more of all the stats equally would my dps climb at the same rate I got the stats or would it eventually slow down and not grow at the same speed?

gray hazel
#

Thanks a lot gents!

balmy condor
#

If you get all stats equally you’re building more bad stats like vers at the cost of good stats like crit

#

If you build nothing but crit your other stats will skyrocket in value

idle inlet
#

Im talking about a hypothetical world where you could get infinite stats (which I know is pointless) would eventually having infinite stats stop increasing your dps as much

balmy condor
#

If you have infinite stats they will dr and cap at 126%

idle inlet
#

Also in my hypothetical world they don't do that and crits can become triple crits and quadruple crits and so on as you get a higher rating for it lol. I just like math I guess.

balmy condor
#

If the game didn’t work how the game worked, then you would continue getting more damage for your stats, sure

idle inlet
#

It was a sort of thought experiment to try and understand if you built stats at a perfect ratio would they lose value or not which it seems like the answer is no

balmy condor
#

Yeah I mean your thought experiment removes all the barriers that causes them to lose value

supple snow
#

And I woke up to this

balmy condor
#

That’s why I’m confused

#

Cause I’m saying they lose value when you build enough of it

#

And you’re going “yeah but if they didn’t lose value, then they wouldn’t lose value”

#

And I’m sitting here like yep that checks out

idle inlet
#

I do most of my theory crafting while at work and I'm not super focused on it XD

#

I got it in my head for some reason that crit and the other stats would lose value even if the dr wasn't in place but they don't actually lose value they just lose relative value to the other stats

balmy condor
#

Yeh

idle inlet
#

Yeah I forgot that relative value going down doesn't change the actual value

#

Like 5 still 5 even if other numbers become 10

neat rain
#

What trinkets should I farm for if they didn't drop from raid?

pseudo hamlet
#

Dice from FH is very good.

neat rain
#

Just picked that up I just need something to replace my drogbar trinket now

vapid sierra
#

Sim droptimizer

neat rain
#

Took about 7 freeholds but starege well you know

vapid sierra
#

I wouldn’t put too much pressure on it tho. Assuming you raid you should get one of the three if you can fullclear heroic + normal (normal lower ilvl tho)

#
  • vault
neat rain
#

I just wanna gear up as much as possible before raid next week

vapid sierra
#

Is it one of your first raids weeks? Or just one of the first on the rogue?

#

The raid trinkets are so much better than the others I wouldn’t stress it if you have dice already

#

But sim drotimizer m+ to see what your next best option is

neat rain
#

Right right siming now

#

All my mythic upgrades are in Brackenhide What

vapid sierra
#

F

clever sapphire
#

Bracken is one od the better dungeons, i dont see the problem there

vapid sierra
#

It’s just not fun

#

Imo

#

First boss is rough, it’s hectic

#

Especially in pugs

clever sapphire
#

Dunno, i enjoy it

#

Enjoyed*

analog mica
#

getting double tapped on FH boss 1 or the shit tier trash with shields and knockup in VP is worse

blazing jewel
#

Evasion works on those shots insanecat

neat rain
#

Brakenhide isn't fun for melee you got dogs up close tons of enemies that deal AoE keeping you out of the action it's just annoying

spice surge
#

Its fun even as melee, by far the best dungeon this season

#

All of the melee aoe stuff is 4-5 yards too so you can outrange it

#

And/or enrage dispel depending on which mechanic you are refering to

clever sapphire
#

Bracken is one of the best dungeons imo. Big packs, not some shitty 3-5 enemies per pull like in VP

#

Only boss i dislike is the last one because of the totem

Not sure which dogs, i played them like once and have skipped them ever since

Nobody plays the dogs as far as i know

#

Wtf, just read patchnote

So they up Sub again?

#

Buffing Outlaw seems fair. But dont think Sub need a buff

drifting cloud
#

its less than 1% buff to offset annulet

vestal wren
#

tl;dr of 10.1.5 changes:

  • eranog + annulet heavily nerfed (annulet will get replaced 100%)
  • outlaw/sub buffs for compensation
#

!sheet has a 10.1.5 section with sims for it

brazen lagoon
#

Yup, but meh. Many players replaced their Annulet

prisma monolithBOT
drifting cloud
#

no they didnt, its bis for outlaw and sub

vestal wren
#

the compensation is a bit higher than the "loss" from annulet

#

this is why sub/outlaw are a bit higher

#

you can compare pre and post numbers if you look at the other tabs

brazen lagoon
#

My sim as Sub was better with my 447 ring + 441 socket

#

Were*

spice surge
#

Possibly for aoe yes, but not for singletarget

brazen lagoon
#

Thanks if you update buddy

#

Nah both

spice surge
#

Then you simmed it incorrectly

brazen lagoon
#

Probably but No

vestal wren
#

make sure you had the correct talents for both

#

also gear can change whats ahead

brazen lagoon
#

Yup,

vestal wren
#

you can sim for 10.1.5 by putting in ptr=1 in expert mode

brazen lagoon
#

Im curious how annulet nerf Will change the meta

#

Ty, didnt know this !

vestal wren
#

won't change much

#

outlaw is now a bit more competitive

brazen lagoon
#

Yup im happy for Outlaw

vestal wren
#

but the difference is low enough to likely keep subtlety dominant

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

assassination is sadly not that popular even atm

brazen lagoon
#

If the buffs negate the nerf.. yup Sub is in a good spot

vestal wren
brazen lagoon
#

5k :0

gusty mirage
#

That’s a little more than a bit kekman

vestal wren
#

depends on who you compare it to

spice surge
#

I mean rogue is still going to be mid at best in raid kekman

vestal wren
#

avoker iirc is from first estimates 180k or more

spice surge
#

Ye getting +5k is nice, but when youre like 15k behind first place it doesnt tip the scales that much

vestal wren
#

and there is quite a list around or above rogue numbers

#

also its not obviouse how good the profiles are

brazen lagoon
#

So Sub rogue is now blasting all contents

gusty mirage
#

It already was wdym now

brazen lagoon
#

The old sheets were différent

#

I dont want to play Sub 😦

gusty mirage
#

The annulet compensation buff isn’t going to make sub do 145k dps

#

in ST

brazen lagoon
#

Nope, but on the Sheet you see the Rankings in terms of Overall

#

Didnt expect to see all Sub builds ahead

gusty mirage
#

Sub had builds ahead of assassination before the annulet compensation buff starege

vestal wren
#

subtlety is ahead due to some bugs

#

just to keep that in mind

brazen lagoon
#

Yup, but i dont understand why they keep Assa in this state

spice surge
#

Keep in mind that all 3 rogue specs are either dead on middle of the pack or lower for pretty much all bosses (besides assault)

#

And we are awful at the last boss

vestal wren
#

sub is quite popular in m+, so 10.1.5 will allow sub to potentially keep that position

#

(assuming avoker isn't op)

gusty mirage
#

They’re not “keeping assassination” in any state. Blizzard acknowledged that rogue changes are coming in 10.2

vestal wren
#

(because if, you might stack PI + PI target + avoker)

gusty mirage
#

Not to mention assassination has gotten more tweaks this patch than outlaw and sub

#

So I’m not sure where people are getting that idea from

brazen lagoon
#

I hope they Will do it. For real

#

I thought some changes would come before 10.2 but no

gusty mirage
#

Yeah they literally just acknowledged that in an interview with Ion

analog mica
#

when snd passive talent or removed

brazen lagoon
#

Lets hope for the best and keep shining as part of the off meta gang

blazing jewel
#

If sin post aura buff was how it released this tier

#

Sin would have been meta

#

I don’t think people cared to swap during farm so nobody plays it still

brazen lagoon
#

The Aura buff gave me some cool overalls (110-120k) in M+
You may be right

blazing jewel
#

I thought you were talking about raid OMEGAKEKW

brazen lagoon
#

Talking about both

tight fox
vestal wren
#

lol

analog mica
#

(I still don’t know what aura buff people are talking about)

blazing jewel
#

Sin got 4%? A few weeks back

storm belfry
analog mica
#

I only been playing outlaw so I haven’t been keeping up

gusty mirage
#

Yes it was 4%

analog mica
#

And even then like 2hrs a week

gusty mirage
#

And sepsis got hotfixed to work with mastery

tight fox
#

for the rogue update what are people generally hoping for? I'm rolling away from mage until 11.0 or perhaps later to either rogue or monk albeit monks dmg profile doesnt suit me it doesnt have a good ST build options which feels bad whereas rogue has 3 specs to pick from

I know for sin its a niche where they do well but I wouldnt know more about what rogues would want from said update because I havent played it or kept an eye on the disc

gusty mirage
#

And the combined changes bumped assassination up like 4-5k dps

analog mica
#

No more SnD maintenance would be based

#

Ik not a thing really for ass but still

gusty mirage
#

And that’s with exsang bug being discovered

tight fox
blazing jewel
#

Mostly in sin and outlaw so far

#

Tbh when i think about ninjas the first thing that comes to my mind is ninja turtles

gusty mirage
#

With the mythic mog for this tier I don’t blame you

#

Rogues running around looking like shredder

blazing jewel
clever sapphire
tight fox
#

whats been done is great but its not enough to keep me playing it - arcane got the option to spam barrage in aoe to fill its lacking aoe dmg, which is cool buuut eh? fire got the bloat removed that it acquired over the last two expansions which was sort of overdue - frost got the most buuut I personally dont like spike and what it does to the gameplay loop sooo here I am

#

realz mentioned that the rogue update wont be as big as the ret rework, was the ret rework really that big? I didnt like ret before and still dont like it now xD

winged veldt
#

there is a high chance that you wont like the rogue rework too unless you are already in love with rogue. Grass isnt always greener

tight fox
#

I already like rogue and monk

winged veldt
#

then why main mage and so forth lol

tight fox
#

the hope was that the mage rework would give it something I'd like plus my mage was already geared AND i got high ranks on it before and while looking for a guild again it was somewhat important

vestal wren
#

we don't know much about 10.2

tight fox
#

now that I have a guild I can move to something else after sticking to mage for a tier and calling it

#

IK IK

vestal wren
#

but keep 2 things in mind:
#1 the little information realz put out seemed quite good
#2 10.2 is quite a while, so there is time to iterate over changes

tight fox
#

I like all 3 specs of rogue the main thing is just picking between monk and rogue because we dont/wont have a monk but may have 2-3 rogues :c

#

monk ST really bugs me

vestal wren
#

i hope that all 3 specs end up slightly more unique than they are atm

winged veldt
#

same fuu same

vestal wren
#

all 3 atm have similar damage profiles and strenghs/weaknesses

tight fox
#

idk what would have to happen to rogue to where i'd regret my reroll

winged veldt
#

i would like to have to switch between them for different situations like some other classes do

vestal wren
#

assassination has some benefits the other 2 don't

#

in that it offers execute and is the only spec that works somewhat with haste

tight fox
vestal wren
#

shroud wasn't that relevant in recent years

tight fox
#

ik im making a joke

winged veldt
#

shroud is so minimal now its not even a thought usually on why to bring rogue lol

blazing jewel
winged veldt
#

lol

vestal wren
#

a node that requires you to go over a 2nd one

#

and you don't rly care about both

#

its a meme, but tbh i think its fine

#

having some dead nodes is expected, esp. with how the tree is designed

blazing jewel
#

They should make it a capstone

#

Like a choice node with DM

vestal wren
#

i had a talk with zac and others in outlaw recently about it too

#

assassination has probably the least amount of completely dead nodes

#

surprisingly outlaw might be the one spec with the most

vapid sierra
#

Just straight up stuns/kicks and défensives I guess

#

(Assuming sub isn’t really good in comparison to the other 2)

Never bought d4

#

I’ve been on the DeS remake personally

strange python
#

So do y'all play rogue in d4 as well? monkahmm

gusty mirage
#

send vanish on CD in p1

#

to extend garrets

#

after opener

#

then you vanish gar 2nd add and echo in p2

#

then you hold CDs toward the end of p2 for p3 to start

#

cause boss goes immune at 35%

#

few tips - you can feint all the raid damage, and you can evasion the wall breaks

woeful meteor
#

extend imp gar with vanish after opener, delay 1:30 sepsis like 10 sec to cover 2min dm, vanish the second p2 add.
Cloak something pre 1:30, cloak the second corruption if you get taken, you can evasion the wall bleed

gusty mirage
#

I would evasion the 1st to 2nd add transition in p2

#

cause tons of rot damage and everyone's moving

#

you avoid all of it

#

queue up payphone

#

and wait for the ranged to figure their shit out

#

gl Okay

vapid sierra
#

If I did

storm belfry

gusty mirage

gusty mirage

just like shadow impale DH

storm belfry

Like feels like I’m pressing a button w a delayed reaction

gusty mirage
cerulean nest
#

by "evasion the wall bleed" you mean just whenever a wall is broken? or the one that targets you specifically

gusty mirage
#

when walls break

storm belfry
#

Idr what I played as dh

cerulean nest
#

oh nice

gusty mirage
#

make sure you're facing the boss

#

and you'll avoid all stacks

storm belfry

But I tried all the different builds and I hated them all

cerulean nest

sweet so damage comes from the boss

#

gotcha

gusty mirage

Well I liked the range rogue build but it sucks

Does 0 damage

it's because I start fights with people every single day

gusty mirage
#

bloodmallet

thorn fjord

It’s accurate?

spice spire

Loosely

gusty mirage
#

whispyr did put in the backstop for PI timings

#

so yeah pretty accurate

thorn fjord
#

Cool Ty

#

With augmentation coming into the fold think locks are still going to be getting pi?

gusty mirage
#

nothing changes in that regard

#

locks, uhdk, and evoker will still be disgustingly good with PI

#

'tis what it is

thorn fjord
#

😢

gaunt moat
#

Just wait till' they PI augmenter over us Cring

raven merlin
#

does any1 know how warcraftlogs will handle the augment. buff or are these whole logs-thing fucked after 10.1.5?

gusty mirage
#

its supposed to attribute the dps to the augvoker p sure

#

but who knows how it actually ends up being implemented

#

their implementation has been kinda shit lately

#

it took like 8 years for them to put the externals column lmao

raven merlin
#

thats sounds absolut terrible and abselutly complicatited to exchange from the real DPS lOGS

gusty mirage
#

remember when like 3-4 years ago they said they wanted raid leaders to bring "the player not the class"?

balmy condor
#

It’s the only way to do it though

raven merlin
#

to seperat all logs with augmentbuff sounds also good

idle inlet
#

I hear people talking a lot about rogues having too many extra what are the extra buttons? Like shiv sepsis tea er vanish?

gusty mirage
#

people want to go back where all you pressed is envenom, mutilate, garrote, rupture, and toxic blade (now shiv)

thorn fjord
#

Those people can go play classic

sinful temple
#

am I reading this right? we have 0 changes for 10.1.5??

thorn fjord
#

Dmg increase to sub and OL @sinful temple

#

Rtb change of OL too

#

Sin still patiently waiting

sinful temple
#

the patch literally comes out in 2 days and sin is getting no changes?

gusty mirage
#

yes?

sinful temple
#

exsanguinate has been bugged for months...

thorn fjord
#

We got an aura buff a few weeks back

gusty mirage
#

and we've known about it for like 3 weeks

thorn fjord
gusty mirage
#

if only someone at blizzard acknowledged this like 2-3 days ago in an interview or something

sinful temple
#

It is a bad thing that we have a bug that is breaking our spec and they don't even acknowledge it

gusty mirage
#

they don't?

thorn fjord
#

The spec is no where near broken

#

And they have acknowledged it

gusty mirage
#

realz was literally in here the day after we figured out it was bugged

#

and acknowledged it

#

but okay

balmy condor
#

A bug that’s breaking our spec

sinful temple
#

oh ok I didn't know that

balmy condor
#

(Less than 1% worse)

thorn fjord
#

Nobody puts baby in a corner

idle inlet
#

Isn't it fixing our spec though

thorn fjord
balmy condor
#

A difficult to execute cooldown with timing issues

#

And now you don’t have to worry about it

thorn fjord
#

It’s not working as intended but ends up being a qol thing lmao

balmy condor
#

And lose 0.7% off your sim dps

thorn fjord
#

Breh it’s a sneaky qol bug that’s all @balmy condor 🤣

spice spire

I’d sacrifice .7 to not have to press it

Is there a way to sim Essence if you have a few of the buffs? and not just none or all?

strange python
gusty mirage
#

yeah but you're a reputable lunatic

#

so

strange python
#

Sepsis stinks

#

Juicing exsang was never actually bad at all. Sepsis makes our timings pretty cringe

gusty mirage
strange python
#

Yep.

gusty mirage
#

how

strange python
#

Exsang didn't fuck with vanish timing and shiv timing to the same ectent

#

Extent

gusty mirage
#

what does sepsis fuck about the shiv timing

#

holding shiv when a CD is about to come up isn't something that was invented by sepsis

strange python
#

No. But sepsis has more rotational impact than exsang did.

thorn fjord
#

Doesn’t fuck with vanish timing much either outside of not using it on pull

gusty mirage
#

agree to disagree

strange python
#

And for the channel that complained about how much exsang sucked, sepsis has way more shitty impacts

#

And doesn't feel good to press

gusty mirage
#

sitting on exsang for an entire minute was cringe as fuck

#

vs just blasting sepsis

strange python
#

It was

#

It should've been a 2 min CD.

gusty mirage
#

it was never going to be a 2 minute CD

strange python
#

Should be.

gusty mirage
#

apparently you forget how strong it originally was

strange python
#

I don't

#

It was 45 though

gusty mirage
#

and at 3 minutes and 80% speed up, it was still as strong as capstones

#

but you want it to be 2 minutes

strange python
#

You could also tune it.

#

I think it's a more interesting cooldown than "you get another stealth garrote"

gusty mirage
#

for sure

#

You get a few more seconds of bleeds per exsang is significantly more interesting than higher uptime on imp garrote

strange python
#

Yes

gusty mirage
#

you're entitled to your opinion

royal lantern
#

just bring the player bro

#

it totally works

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

we dont enforce stuff

gusty mirage
#

just like s2 SL

#

you totally didn't NEED a DK for soulrender

#

it just made the fight significantly easier

#

or a lock on sylv

#

for the original size of whatever the black circles were called

#

I forget

vestal wren
#

"bring the player not the class" was in a newer interview said to be dead

gusty mirage
#

that were the size of texas

gusty mirage
#

they didn't even need to say it

royal lantern
#

didnt even include rogue and DK

#

and DK is 100% needed for 1-2 fights each tier

vestal wren
#

i think the problem is

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

a lot of the stance of the dev team change every xpac

royal lantern
#

"yeha, doesnt matter if you play good, we enforce shit now" is such a backass desicion

vestal wren
#

but it isn't always stated publically

gusty mirage
#

imagine being a hunter right now

#

and all you bring is some shitty owl talent that gives your party leech

vestal wren
#

so you can't rly depend on old statements being still relevant

gusty mirage
#

lmfao

royal lantern
#

but hey, we get SUPPORT SPECS now, that do the same dps as dps specs and at the same time buff others to do even more dps and have deffensive value

#

good idea

#

will not backfire

#

or end in stacking

gusty mirage
#

wdym they've never had that issue before

#

crucible of storms never happened

#

where everyone was bringing like 8 shadow priests

royal lantern
#

i wonder how the smart wow community will react when they realise that devestation is straight up dead

#

like

#

you never touch that spec again

#

when augemtation exist

gusty mirage
#

yes you will

fiery mauve
#

Wdym lol

gusty mirage
#

devoker is still strong af

fiery mauve
#

Devoker does a lot

#

And you prob won't need more than 2 augs

gusty mirage
#

you just make the people playing hunter or rogue or feral swap

balmy condor
#

Tryan off the goop

royal lantern
#

make me

gusty mirage
#

augmentation existing doesn't make this less relevant:

#

why are we pretending devoker is mid

#

lmao

subtle stream
#

I just gently cripple my dps by not running sepsis. Yayyyyyyyy. Just too lazy to make WAs and I reallllllly don’t want to match my stealth bars to non stealth.

gusty mirage
#

notter made a WA for sepsis tho

vestal wren
#

think our raids devokers did say they need buffs

gusty mirage
#

you just install it

gusty mirage
#

I would say turn off action bar paging

#

but blizzard for whatever reason decided that shouldn't be a feature

#

in the default UI

#

so I got nothing

im just so salty about that entire SUPPORT idea

cus its the biggest waste of resources and time possible
