it's 3% plus devotion aura, they stack right?

assuming atrophic applies to the damage going out, sure

strong assumption
But again, there is no way being able to have multiple EMs on a target is staying
I hope not but its gonna be hilarious this week.

I mean you get 15k less damage from a 500k hit
so you're still getting one shot
The only time a 3% dr is likely gonna be useful is for long periods of ticking damage.
3% on big hits is negligible in terms of survivability because you're already pumping in defensives and shit to live.
Noooo, you survive. But the constant damage the next sec will Kill you
I'd argue it's the opposite actually
a long period of ticking damage your healers are going to be overhealing like CRAZY
I was thinking like Sark P1 when I typed that to be honest.
the real use case would be if it makes you survive a big hit
that you normally wouldn't survive
and those are really rare instances
Yeah but those don't really exist?
I suppose it could save people if they aren't topped before big hits.
this was our 4 healers and 2 tanks on our mythic sark prog kill
But I can't think of a single damage event in the last 2 expansions that if you're topped and have a defensive up you can't survive.
Along with raid cds and stuff.
only thing 3%dr is useful for is early prog when undergeared which is a super small % of the raiding population
surviving raid stuff is all about surviving the combo hits that come together, like a big dot and a group slam, or glimmerings, or whatever it may be
but uh yeah
and those get healer cds anyway
which like
okay sure
but 3% on top of all your healer cds and personals
not really gonna tip any needle
at least for any guild that's below world rank maybe 25
if I say its irrelevant even for the race to world first I might actually get skinned alive by people who watched 10 hours of it on twitch one time
wouldn't want that
im backing
start of tier RL was asking if i was staying on rogue, which ofc i was, but he was worried we wouldnt have atrophic, had to explain why its worthless to us
It’s not totally worthless
but max said it was good

But it ain’t the best
you right, a few guilds make it not worthless
therefore bis raid buff
There were a few pulls I still had mind numbing on and we noticed
This was last tier tho
I once pulled rasz without atrophic
i notice regemming for margin of error dps too
not one person noticed
can feel that 60dps
push and stealthi usually have mindnumbing and atrophic
It made intermission harder for us on sark for those pulls
how'd it make it harder
like atrophic can always be replaced by having gear for the encounter, or people jsut pressing their buttons, and good healer cd prep
i mean, for atrophic to actually be noticable, raidbosses would regulary need to fo heavy hits that leave people at 5% or less hp
The poison is a placebo 
uh huh
its spreadsheet utility
raidleaders take a rogue cus its another mark for the raid utility spreadsheet, and thats it
Again this is what they told me
what % do we think where atrophic would be "noticable"?
I got yelled at for not having atrop up
5?
5 or 6 probably
yell back "play better"
I’m not dying on this hill!
if ur bf says not to post that bikini pic ask him if that’s the jonah hill he wants to die on
105654
11414

You think it'll get replaced with the rework?
what?
is rogue getting a rework?
Reportedly yes
I mean tbf Atroph is only good for open world/solo content imo
It gives rogue a raid buff that ensures rogue to be part of the optimal raid comp of that is actually true is up to debate
HUH
mindnumbing to get meleed less will probably help more in solo content than the 3% from atro
i agree, i always notice atro when i am doing world quests

Please say cap

I mean it's not really worth using at all imo
3% in world content GIGA
while you have mind numbing
one click away
is just
unreal levels of schizo

Mind numbing immensely better than atrophic in open world
I even take mind numbing in dungeons
caring about nonlethal in open world 💀
I'm just saying it could worth it if you have bad survivability which other words [vanish]
As God intended
you're the brother saying that you notice the big boy 3% dr in open world
don't pin this on us
I sleep well knowing I stick with my OG poisons
Playing sin in open world is the real crime
If the target is just meleeing you to death over a period of time, then mind numbing is 5x better than atrophic
That's the land of grappling hooks
Or it’s too based
I play Sin Always damnit
A real one
Should I get waffles or french toast
Are the waffles those weird ass ones with pockets of fucking sugar in them? Cause if it is then hard pass on the waffles
Pockets of sugar?? Huh?
Waffles are the ones with pockets but they hold syrup, not sugar
Wait who doesn't know what a waffle is

They are a real thing I had the misfortune of having one day.
he's a fed
what do you expect
HES AN AMERICAN?
Ain't no way someone living in the US doesn't know what a waffle is
as red white and blue as poor healthcare accessibility
I think they are called Belgian sugar waffles. I don't think they are the same as regular Belgian waffles
I know what a waffle is lol
You've never had an eggo?
OHHHHHH you said "are the waffles" not "are waffles"
Okay I'm the dumb one here
Completely changed the meaning of that sentence
he's still a fed
True
I used to be a fed

I had a badge
Yeah but roujin has a cute dog so???

stop complimenting my old rogue friend
stay in your lane
roujin and I built a friendship on bullying each other over a year and a half
I believe he complimented my dog not me
and you will not shit on it
?? Imagine not being your current rogue friend?
he left me
(I was the first person to leave the guild)

Only insults and theory crafting allowed here.
You could play Minecraft with me and Jeffrey...
We could blow up kittenz sky base
There's still a piece of TNT attached to the sails
I completely forget who put it there, I think it was ploop
Aren't we kind of close to that though?
Wasn't the dr 5% at the beginning or did I just lie to myself into thinking that
Its 3% or 3.6% depending on if you spec into it
You lied to yourself

but would you guys recommend numbing poison over atrophic then?
alright
The way someone told me was numbing was for tank damage reduction.
Atrophic for party.

hmm raidbots down
mythic nelth ring is surely bis for assa
or is it double crafted
for like gigabis
how good is the timestrike stats for us?
Works fine for me 
Double crafted probably.
Kinda meh, doesn't really matter probably. The ilvl drop on weapons is a big deal.
Is sin rogue more difficult to play in ST than sub or roughly the same thinking about picking it up for rogue just so we have all 3 specs in raid for memes haha
Ain’t gonna be able to check my vault before work but @gusty mirage guaranteed me a bomb dispenser so no big deal.
what does our ST opener look like?
Servers are up
Assassination is arguably the easiest in ST but hardest on AoE. Sub is probs the other way around.
Personally I think Sub and Assa are both pretty simple in ST, but Assassination is more prone to errors.

how? D:
It's a special theorycrafting privilege.
Head on over to #tc-research and study the apl for months and contribute and you can pull it off too! 
See? Special. 🙂
what about a special feelycrafting privilege? 
mimiron can iirc be used by everyone these days
does not require whitelisting of your account
Mine just sent too
Just be patient
@vestal wren do you have the pastebin for the rings?
#tc-research has the text files pinned
Looks like raidbots still isnt updated tho
Might have to learn sin and see how difficult it is lol
can try (if it works)
https://mimiron.raidbots.com/
(probably better to wait for the main site to work)
yeah theres no rush
https://github.com/tukui-org/ElvUI/archive/refs/heads/ptr.zip for those who dont want to wait on the Elvui drop
PTR version and it confirmed works
I'll just wait for them to release a stable version
won't work unless your account is flagged to have access to mimiron
unless something changed since DF launched
i can use it
i like how we spam him with the same 3-4 racoon gifs all the time
Cloaked up
I got 3 pieces of gear I’m already wearing in mine so I feel you

Always love myself a socket
yeah i've got a 447 ring from last week that needs a socky
Except when I'm fully socketed like I am already
Could make half a spark
You my man, are fuckign cursed
Man asks why when he’s presented the most scuffed stuff in 2023
Raids bots is telling me to drop the onyx ring. Do i trust thats true with the nerfs?
yes
Yes
throw it in the sea
Raidbots telling me to go fuck myself with the new changes
No changes
Crafted ring might be gains... simming sin now
So I havent been paying attention and found myself at 4525 mastery and 4068 crit.... Think I did my stat pro wrong.
wuts wrong with that
i'll never get the sark cloak
:<
ask the robot and see if its wrong
yea at 1500 que lmao
Equally useless
literally does not matter
robot has me at more mast than crit
and almost 3k haste atm
but that's probably gonna change with new ring
I guess you guys are right its just like 300 dps difference. kind of a no biggie

i was waiting for 10 minutes on my top gear sim before realizing it was in dungeon slice

I’m almost above you in sim despite running the shit build 
Feelsbad man
what's the shit build 
Serrated Bone Spike. More like Shit Butt Sussy
any of these Dawn of the Infinite trinkets better than heroic beacon or bomb dispenser?
sbs has always stood for small brain syndrome and you can't change my mind
apparently my raidbots is fucked
Atm it’s not fully implemented because they were a bitch to get in PTR - so the short answer is unsure! Probably not but

that's a sub rogue sim, we are dom rogues here
yeah but the same thing is happening with my sin sims
Wdym I’m an outlaw OTP I have a tusk
I have a forgestorm too babe
Twinsies
But also true I forget
It was the play for sark 
i mentioned it just some messages above this, the restriction is no longer existent.
I tested it and can use it even while logged out just some minutes ago
^ see
@teal iris i think i know what happened
Think the Raidbots DB might have updated after i sent the initial sims... because now everything is significantly higher
Weird
i dunno
Weird af.. Also sorry for pinging you in sin channel @teal iris ❤️
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eDWwPoEGepX1aKZFAb1phV there we go that makes more sense @spice spire
Gross it wants me to craft haste mastery tho... no way no how
maybe enable some high haste gems and see if it goes vers mast

I want it to just be Crit Mastery so my sub set can utilitize it
yeah for sure.. dont want any haste tho thats for damn sure lolol
the moment vers is good for a spec
the spec is fucked


dunno sub seems just fine

no sir they are not
microsoft will put servers on azur
sounds like a you problem
so will be fine soon™️
no idea what M$ plans are, i wouldn't mind it
i think skill issue :/
is raidbots working
Yea
Unluigi indeed

and thats with uh crit haste bracers, neck with a haste gem, and the tier helm for sub

thought it was "before/ after" sim before i saw that its assassination/subtlety


put a ring on it!
we know
I can craft an OH dagger, but then I'll be sad if I drop sark dagger
just wait after reclear
Just got my ring now
we have a lot of weapon drops
The possibilities are endless
Could prob do Verse/Mast too
so the onyx annulet not that any more right
I think I'm fine
onyx is kaka now
toss it in the bank for nostalgia
or vendor it for 55g
Current sin stats
fun fact
those stats
w/ crit phial
and toxic thorns are a dps loss

0.1% gain w/ vers phial
Damn man's rolling in haste
Simc default is tepid right?
Do we have any changes for the 10.1.5 ?
No
5800 crit is too much right?
so they nerfed the stones by 40% and didn't nudge assassination at all? was i misplaying this whole time or something? those stones were anywhere from 7-10% of my dps
we got an aura buff
my best recent parse (85% ilvl, 75% overall) on zskarn it was 10%
i don't see it in the patch notes
i see outlaw with 9% and sub with 4%
it was the patch before this one iirc
@gusty mirage 
If you had good enough rings you already weren’t using the annualet
@runic hinge big if, i'm pugging through this patch and it's been pure pain
Sub and outlaw were continuing to use it even if they had 450 rings
it's been simming higher than any of the rings i'd been getting
so i hadn't swapped it
oh yeah i need a new ring
i mean obv i will have to now
My rings are 441 and 444 and it was already switching me off it
probably going to go haste mast
what
my gear cap is like 437 right now, can't get into mythic raids or m+'s consistently
at 437 the annulet was still beating any ring i'd had drop
Compensation buffs 
16’s will also get you 441 that now upgrades to 447
i spent hours queuing for every 16 and getting rejected
I don't care anymore
it's not worth the energy
I’m sure you can get into 16’s
at 439ilvl and 2100 rating
i really don't
the 4 or 5 i've done this season i topped dps, didn't die, etc. but i just cannot get invited
the solution is really to get a guild
That’s true
but other than you fine folks, i hate people
hell i ended up crafting my toxic boots at 437 since i just accepted my lot in life heh
honestly, all things considered, i had a good season so far... got aotc early, pugged through heroic raid most weeks
m+ has felt out of reach

haven't seen a beacon even drop yet
I got aotc last week but I’m 442 with 2500 io so I guess we’re just not alike
True sim test. Can anyone in your guild soak puddles 


maybe our priest got a trinket out of vault and will stop using beacon in raid
our Hpal upgraded their 424 lariat to 447 though
so that's nice
@runic hinge pugging?
pugging sark on heroic is pretty much luck of the draw, either you get leavers and 30-45 minutes between pull groups that are doomed to fail, or you get a one shot group

@earnest remnant do we tell him
how broken are the sims
Guild for raiding. 1 day a week 3 hours. And pugging m+

Release yuumi

Back to having Sub completely shit on my sin sims 😦
I figured it would happen tho... Guess we're progging zsakarn as sub tonight
130 
Was fun while it lasted
wait how much is normal sims right now?
I barely beat that post patch on sub
now try it with darkbrew
you drop flag for it

and inev
because you smell
Dank brew
single short dance
considering they never played double dance, yes?
oh well
they also don't play double dance in m+
Why dance long many time when can gloomblade much more when dance shorter less time
hmm yes ty
stiletto and swift death?
or veiltouched
idk why i'm even lookin this up
Idc if sub sims higher. You won’t catch me playing gloomblade simulator
fax
I'm simming my sin now surely I can come close to shmeeps cursed sim with it
playing white hits simulator instead

No way essence is the play if going for r1s, right
it will give you more consistent parses but yeah probably gotta play gamba beacon or gamba nelth
and pray for high rolls
I have one playing essence
He doesn’t have the power of the herbies tho
These Mega Dungeon trinkets are any good?
probably pretty okay
Mid
not sure if gonna be better than current tho probably not
It'll prob get replaced by an echo/bomb highroll eventually tho
on prog i'd like an essence
so i'm not playing nelth proc roulette
but none have dropped for our raid
since week 1 normal

Well technically not, since its 10.1 so it wont get topped ever now that new patch is here 

so we got ther nerfed rings , but no compensation buff aura ? in assassin ?
correct

annulet wasn't our BiS anyways
people were exploiting lol
I mean... one bear was putting up sub-3 min clears at +31
multi dollar company
?? really? from S to b?
its oversimming by about 18%
:c

so I'd say C+ is generous
both are rng, one forces you to use double on-use trinkets
and double on-use is pain
one, envenom macro other
Bomb on mutilate imo
you still get that weird beacon timing with bomb macro'd tho
i switched my beacon to dice
Are there any fights where the simc default 80% corrupting rage uptime would be off?
Most heroic fights youre likely to see uptime closer to 85-90%, but it doesnt matter much
then you just can't envenom for 10s before beacon comes off CD
or you'll cast bomb and put on cool down

i had ~80% on rashok, a fight with constant and quiet heavy dmg

are you an alchemist?
just curious not flaming or anything
nope
I'm wondering if being an alchemist affects uptime or just the damage taken
just dmg taken
idk, i checked multiple times during prog on pulls that where close to a kill, and it was always bettwen 75-80%
Yeah same for nelth too all of prog I had about 86+ uptime
Technically taking less damage lowers the uptime, but its not super noticeable
Its just -15% for the frost effect and -50% for the nature effect, its okay
I'm not even full decay alchy
Cool i was just worried about going under 80 on damage heavy fights
stop bullying me I'm sub now
Shhh we gotta keep it a secret
I am not keeping that secret
Im not bullying 
I dont care which spec you play, follow your heart
my heart tells me I can't throw away almost 4k dps
@spice surge a real one
Might just recraft this ring to verse mastery @gusty mirage if I’m fully committing too
i just need a myth track hat
and a socky for my bracer
and i'm in all 447
except for my bomb dispenser
thats my sub sim

I already told you to sim dark brew
i imported one from the sub channel
there's like 4 dif builds lmao
Hella dank
you where cool once
yeah

and assassination did damage once
outlaw and sub seem just a-okay
just play augmentation and do 110k effective dps by pressing 6abilitys in a minute

I'm this thing now I already hat it
https://i.imgur.com/z3V9OaW.png
worse than law
I'd have to level and gear an evoker
I'd rather just gear my warlock that's 425 and already level 70
esp now that 2 minute destro is back
ye
support spec is a good idea btw
blizzard can totally balance it btw
we need more of them
just make all raids the mandatory buffs+debuffs
and then supports that give the real dps dmg, aka warlocks and mages
why play anything else
its clearly a good idea

this is post nerf 
They only nerfed it by like 15%
how do you make the great SUPPORT SPECS Not overtuned or undertuned
like
how
?
and also work in raids and m+
Targeted 3% crit buff gonna be the new PI in terms of drama
I mean
Ye just like fire's crit buff is
and how when everyone benefits different from it
we have plenty of time until 10.2
they'll figure it out
or they won't
freaking out about it doesn't change anything
any1 having plater errors with rupture that uses Cev's profile
that one 
we told them we hate externals
they doubled down on PI
we told them we still hate PI
they made a PI spec

blizzard moment
What benefits the aug the most*
biggest L in DF

bro 2 minute destro is back
I'm fucking pumped
this is like christmas
Are you upset you are not getting blessing of summer?
like, i dont know a single player that enjoys Pi, it only makes drama, priests themself hate it cus they consta tly get bothered cus of it
ez just never learn what the blessings are so you're never upset about it
had a pally ask me if I wanted blessing of x
and I was like yo I have no idea what any of those do
The aug stuff is not like PI
if you actually read what they do,
Instead of just imagining how they work
more about the "Pi stays" angle from Blizz
not shitvoker
its only a few things from the avoker that isnt calculated in logs
Mechanically sure
But conceptually it's "that guy gets it, those guys don't" aswell
It doesnt matter if you get it
And benefits some classes more than others
You dont do more damage, the logs are the same
if anything
it should be the avoker getting pissed
if he only has rogue
in the group
@gusty mirage since wowhead and black harvest doesn't seem to have any updated info i'm gonna sk you
what do you drop for 2m inf

A conceptually good aug ability is their breath of eons thing
Doesn't discriminate, and has great impact no matter the comp (unless you run very few 2min specs but that's most unlikely)
In fact i realize breath of eons + the following talent for shield on it is gonna be pog on rashok
For wha
isn't stealthi close to bis
@earnest remnant is bis to me
im also very close to bis

im simming sin
warlock questions
I have disgusting gear for it from patch

Brubby
idk my sub sims 132,6 tomorrow
idk if one of my kazz daggers if from mythic so I get it to 447
step 1, get 447 bomb and 450 weps
I forgot to put my better belt in there and swap my helm from crit mast to crit vers
crit mast helm may even bis bis
for my setup idk
idk im running some voodo magic sims just you wait
idk what kind of vodoo shmeeps uses
even with full recraft regem I dont get close to 130 on Sin
Raid bots is already simming with the onyx amulet nerf?
Yes
How do we feel about Accelerating Sandglass? Any info on it yet
I need to put latest/weekly or nightly?
Get one and report back
Just always sim latest
Near 0 reason to ever sim anything else
Ok, thanks ❤️
or what
No
sub
Play evoker
eww stinky scale class
send sin
Vel left a hole in the roster
Scanastraza rising
be more fun
this is an unholy word
like when you say a devils real name
Vel left a hole in me 
Where’s the vulpera uhdk scanuwu
my evokers name is Scanuts
@blazing jewel you're summing above 130
meanwhile i'm scratching 127 
I have one, but if it's not good I want to give it to our warrior lol
wanna trade characters?
no u
wait
pretty sure if i redo
that's sub
Sims are simming like 4k dps less than Bomb dispenser and class trinket
Blizzards changed those trinkets so many times and didn’t put a vendor for testing on ptr so your guess is as good as ours
It’s not in sims
That’s why it’s that bad

Yeah I saw the thing after I simmed
we both go sin this reclear
Just told the warrior I'd take the last boss trinket and give him this one if it drops. xD
yeah.... no

why would i play something i dont enjoy?
I thought you were neutral with sin
Rumor has it I played 1 law Pull today and it was new best 
Stealthi mopping the floor with scana rn
wdym it's not in sims ?
It’s not implemented
Oh ok
Can’t sim the trinket
That certainly explains it x)
Going by its description, it sounds like it might be aswell as a wildcard or a wet noodle
im barely 125k lmao
100 potential stacks of 100-ish haste sounds bonkers tbh
these guys cheating
(meanwhile feral after patch sims 145..)
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light: http://tiny.cc/2bq0vz / Dark: http://tiny.cc/xdu1vz
which trinket?
A second crafted ring is going to give me only 12 dps extra, i did the compare right?
Yeah, i did, 1 slot ring

They don't order you to change when the dps gain / loss is in between the margin of error
possible that our sims really like mastery
your*
but that still doesn't seem right
Link the sim if you want help on it
you could just link the sim instead of screenshotting everything
Yes, 82 crit all of them
Its likely a socket/enchant issue
True
no socket
no gem
I did not put any socket or gems, because my actual ring does not have too
So is "fair"
:?
I mean, i can try put socket on mine and all of the crafted
I have the coin to do
the crafted rings come with a socket
Let me try to do all with sockets
Does offhand dagger matter for sin rogue?
but why 
about as much as any other crafted upgrade from 441
i just crafted my oh today
was pretty low priority
Ok, with sockets now
Just confirming, nothing has changed for us, right?
That amalgamation ring is pretty nice huh, maybe 447 they can ever be better than the crafted one
Other than Annulet
So I got mirror as well lol.
I mean its just ok for your chars current gear
you can always offset ring stats by swapping gems, enchants
basically any combo will work other than maybe 2 high vers rings

Bro i thought this a was a hand writing
how i feel going into raid on rogue watching a bunch of new classes get cool stuff and buffed by augmentation and PIs
Wake me up when September ends
hey does anyone know if you can add the armor patch embelishment to raidbots droptimizer for crafted gear?
Why does beacon sim like shit now
Sin gonna be top pick for m+ can't wait 
HUH
Sims only +300 over normal echo trinket at 450
Orly?
A day ago it was +1200
nothing should have changed so idk
Right it's weird
447 echo is only +300 for my normal beacon thats to be exspected kinda
and getting more upgrades is only a hc thing aswell right?
Yep. Nothing changed in my sim except I ran it today instead of last night
I'm being assigned an evoker for aug uppies tonight. we're gaming
!fuu

check subcreation. that bear exploiting has made all melee F tier. sin is now competitive statistically
don't even need to wait for 10.2
I am not the biggest fan of the new charge animation lol
nobody likes them lol
It legit messes with my mind.
we swap nealtharions call of suffering for the hourglass?
nelths is pretty good tho
but droptimizer says it's better
do you have a non-upgraded LFR nelth trinket? 
if its a higher ilvl than your nelth... then sure that might tip the scale a bit?
if it's an upgrade on the sim then it might be an upgrade for you
but "we" will not be switching no
also are the sims still derped? 
or was oxi and stealthi just fuckin with me
@shut owl
ig the answer right now is maybe

lol is zskarn bugged
possibly? a lotta wacky stuff going on atm
his actual mythic mechanic is straight up not even happening
it's just heroic with more health
my guild is apparently parsing into its own server of warcraftlogs, so thats fun. we all got 100's :>
437, they're both at the same ilvl.
oh no; we don't have a server or realm assigned
I'm sure it'll get fixed on backend, but its kinda hilarious
my sim says i gain 1500dps from sandglass this thing for real?
that's what i've been saying
its okay, I enjoy the attention
it simming higher than my 447 neth trinket at 441 too

ok 
but maybe 
It's probably been answered already but what is time strike
in time, we'll know
my best trinket set up unfortunately is beacon frag, do I use beacon first? or should I just take dps loss and put on dice lol
unless you have a truely tragic ilvl dice
it's almost certainly better than your fragment
441 and sim says otherwise
