Shmeeps got that rat pack frfr
shmups the bdk

shmups actually 480 ilvl now
actual functional character
people logged into wow over the xmas break?
brother I dropped it months ago
drop it out of my mf vault
you do like 99%
where time knife
do you not? there was no catalyst charge
Bless my vault Oxi

For I slammed a massive 11 this week
Holy fuck
I passed on a mythic ball trinket last week
shmeeps the aff lock got myth track pants upgrade
Rae about to slam scana out of consequence
took a socket instead

the 3 balls
Branch boi
ye that one
absolute terrible trinket

wonder who designed that one
Me
did you do this and last weeks quest
some fkin puzzlebox enjoyer
cause I'm very sure I used a fresh catalyst last week
Much rather use puzzlebox than branch
Sorry uwulane

Or edwinvanbeef
ive done it
Or whatever the hell that characters name is
any guzzlers perking up for fated tier?
Edwinvanqueef?


Avoidance too 
so nice
nick of time this tier is return of the seal of diurna shenanigans from tier1
Is myth track Crab worth taking from vault?
rogue will have great vault
okay so
yo big dagger
Bis sub boots 
this 2 weeks of not playing over xmas got me considering swapping back to main windwalker
okay so the question is
are you guys really still trying to get the dagger after all this time 

will igira dagger
pls help
Nah i already have it
imagine having the dagger
but still being french
what an unbelievably unfortunate turn of events for you
my rogue has bis weapons, i got the talwar and ritual dagger
Yeah there is
Mental Illinois

Dont think so, outside of not having a good non on-use
if I take the pills my gf goes away
we will be staying in illinois

if anyone is still doing those
they are more mentally ill than the combined might of #outlaw
I do bloom on all of characters every week lol

are you guys in #outlaw still thinking that the spec will see any serious play on the fights that matter? 
they believe it will shine on farm
Give them credit they absolutely slammed the very useful tentacles on nzoth prog
Outlaw in 8.3 
on tindral
swear its the tech
🐖 🧝♂️ 🐖 <- This is what 8.3 looked like
I had a late night thought of thinking what if you mydas before you fly on tindral
so you can double on use the shield
but yea that doesnt work
no
you prepull mydas and you can do that

Mr duck did you know there’s a game where you can play as a crow with a bow and sword? You collect shinies (and souls). It’s not quite the same as being a duck but it’s close.
outlaw rogues grasping at straws to make their shit trinket seem not dogshit
but just allows you to get 2 uses in p1
People were prepulling mydas on smolderon (not sub)
I got the boot knife and turtle tooth
just play DH already bro
it's better anyway
high APM
very zoomy
should fit your outlaw brain nicely
zac
cna just do it to get a second use in p1
come challenge me bro
otherwise you have to delay and its cringe
at what
sudoku
I was very good at sudoku when I was younger
sepuko
I probably would win
Or just play crab and proc it on every shield 
dont try me
no
because you have a 489 mydas
I'd like to apologize for being scana earlier today
because you are main outlaw
and sending you a raccoon instagram video
I am neither of those things, but i understand
thanks for being understanding
no
no
thx
I would usually slander outlaw, but i will not slander zac
pls do not slander my son
outlaw?
zacsination was a good time this tier
yet another Pips in vault
ye was fun for a boss or 2
3 is pushing it
its okay the balancing team made sure you never have to play it again
I was using it the other night and didn't look like my stacks were dropping?
ah nice
does that mean i can play outlaw now
absolutely
nice
or you can listen to whispyr's copium that it does better boss damage than sub on the last 2
i almost got to play outlaw on fyrakk oxi
pog? 
I think outlaw is very good for fyrakk tbh
but sub is so op that we gain 2/3 people not using cds on shield
so I am asked to play sub
mad underrated

ye idk for some reason i was toppnig everything as sub
outlaw*
but I was giga last on shield damage
outlaw is good
and sub does like
and playable on every boss
3 times the damage of anyone else on shield
ye
ok calm down chief
you never met this tindral guy
I haven't?
Council????
not as ouylaw you havent
very based of you
how is outlaw unplayable on council
out of all the bosses you picked
you picked a cleave fight

ye its fine on council
I misread I thought he said sub is op and playable every boss
if you get ducked you can get fucked tho
council doesent exist
only boss I would consider inting by playing outlaw is smolderon
cant change my mind
because sub is just that much better
fake boss
Tindral is way worse imo
I think the only real int is tindral
can someone explain the brand on tindral thing? everyone uses it and it didn't look like stacks were dropping on intermissions when I was using it last week
You lose all ur uptime on intermissions
either this week or next
Capped
tindral is about to get absolutely ass blasted
No burst aoe
doing feathers as outlaw is also really bad
we can meme all we want about the downtime thing
I mean its not a meme
but rn if you lose your stuffs as outlaw its kinda terrible
you are in deep shit for a while
4 target cleave fight was alright, that was 2 tiers ago though, time to let it go
wait until new and improved tindral 3.0
ye cant wait
somehow they will still make seeds and feathers spawn in fire
I hope before end of week tindral gets blasted cause my guild took 2 weeks break for Xmas and we about to blast this bird weds
So I need nerfs tonight
Tbh we could kill without
Is ashes of embersoul good? im simming it at 483 ILvl and its showing a 2-3k dps loss over my current trinkets
I thought it was more
maybe 130?
blood mallet shows its 2nd best though
fyrakk dies tonight
thats a low number
is one of your trinkets branch?
im on no sleep
yes
i need it to be quick
because it's worse than branch
branch and pips
you have to gobble balls tho
Didn't some rogue from liquid say ashes was better
no
they used ashes because it made no sense for them to sit in everboom farming branch for a marginal DPS gain that required more thinking than press button
I have faith.
🤌
because it's rng whether your stacks drop or not
if you're okay with that
play brand
I would not recommend it
alternative would be hourglass or pips then?
hey, is someone from here managing the bloodmallet trinket comparsion? - or are they doing "their own thing"? - i just noticed that the conquest pvp on-use trinket sims a few k dps higher than the mirror as example - on 476*
yea hourglass or pips good alternatives
Even if you dont drop any stacks, its like a 5 min fight in terms of how often you get the procs
Theyre just doing a single trinket, not combinations
But yeah mirror isnt great as assa
hmm i mean single trinket, but they probably use it only every two minutes instead of every minute
Well you have kingsbane every minute
it "should" be on par with the others, but the only pvp trinkets are waaay down
yes, exactly which is why it should be included on bloodmallet
in any case it's definitly not down there for sure :D
i cant even read that
yes, that's the point - it's on the ground lol
we're holding as of this week on tindral>fyrak so this'll be my last vault til CE and there's a Pips in there
wondering if I should take lol
The sim has timed out unfortunately oxi
my gs is low (456) so maybe agi sims more than it should for me.
pvp 476 // 10min sim singletarget all buffs 118359 dps
mirror 476 // 10min sim singletarget all buffs 116779 dps
from 106466 dps base / without trinket, that's an increase of
mirror 9.6866605301223%
pvp 11.1707023838596%
grabbed a socket for this week's vault 😦
yeah, that's what i think too - for me personally, that information would be nice since i am leveling (*i mean farming gear for) my rogue. it's really easy to get the conquest point trinket - if you play m+ only, it's kind of a pain to get a good alternative
if you are unlucky*'^^
yea I mean there's no reason not to use it, it lines up well with CDs and can carry you over until you get something better
and considering there's like 5 total trinkets worth a damn 
the misleading part is that they only sim a 450 version - and on top of that it's simmed wrong.
hmm wonder who is generally in charge of updating bloodmallet 🤔 
we did one raid and i got like 5 items it was awesome
!FUU
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
With sanguine being in the pool this week do I go Amplifying, Atrophic/Numbing, and then Wound over deadly? or still default to deadly other than like Lord/Lady Waycrest fight?
You do not go wound as assassination no
Because if you dont have deadly you cannot proc spatter
(ontop of you losing a fuckload of damage by using a poison thats doing 1/6 of the damage)
oh duh, yeah that'd cripple my dps
Can’t see sh*t

If you somehow got dtb but not Amp poison, maybe you could use wound poison as your second poison, but I would still say ur a psycho.
yeah no lol, I just recently got decent daggers so still used to outlaw where instant poison isn't insanely important
Hey btw maybe this question shouldn’t be here but I don’t know where to ask.
Is there any website where I could see all the trading post items that have existed?
Ordered by months or smth
wound poison in pve... I need a shower after reading that
would you play CT on 24 Everbloom? or just the cleave?
Yees
so yes for CT?
Yes
tyy
feel like I should take Pips over a socket knowing I'll have full sockets in a few weeks regardless
even though idk if I'll ever use pips
I'd use pips in m+ cause crab doesn't exist
Need some opinions.
This was a +25 Rise.
I failed my rotation maybe twice and died two times.
Is Demonology just so strong or I just have skill issues to have such a huge DPS difference?
Bro 😂
Demonology just deals much more dmg than assa
If there’s someone that tells you that you should do same damage, he’s cringe
Yeah, every run with Demo feels deppresing.
I thought it was gonna be bad with DH, but I actually stay in range with Havoc
but with Demo, never.
If u want to outdamage meters go outlaw
I find assa more funny to play, just for that I play it
Trust me, I tried...several times.
But I am tunnel visioning too hard when playing Outlaw. Unable to focusing on Kicks and Blinds and interrupts overall.
I can do damage yeah, but that's about it.
Now I know why stat weights are ill advised. Pawn told me a mythic neck was a 22% upgrade over my current one, when I simmed it I'd lose 2.5k dps. sheeeeet
2.5k sounds like a lot, did you forget to socket it
Is there a better qucik sight to use? I know the answer is sim everything, but when deciding what to roll on in raid a quick % is very helpful.
just wait til you make it til the year twenty twenty four, pawn becomes bis in slot
Nope. Added 3 sockets with the same gems Im using in my current neck to keep it fair.
Unfortunately no
Because stat weights will never remain the same after a piece of gear is replaced
No static stat weights possible
Dang, well thanks for the heads up. I knew it wasn't ideal but I figured it'd be at least close. Guess I'll just sim everything always.
anyone have the PI sim string?
Just use the button on raidbots
But if you need it
external_buffs.power_infusion=0/120/240/360
Adjust time to dm
oh i didnt see it thanks!
Just did a +22 BRH the tank didnt stop chain pulling with mobs at like 4% the entire run, was ready to burst a vein
turns out it didnt affect my damage at all and it was my highest log
Doing damage all the time means more damage?
More damage = more damage
y'all are giving this master class for free smh my head you could charge so much for this wisdom
More George pics = more George pics?
That math is mathing
I run a droptimizer sim at the start of raid and leave it open on my second monitor
is parsing high with sin only possible with pi ?
big vault
Good idea. ty
4 weeks of my'das talismans in my vault. someday I'll see a branch t-t
what build is good for farming 11s? AP+CT or just hybrid build
The AP build
am I wrong that the only DM during Tindral that's scuffed by branch would be the opener?
so you're saying if I can engineer a prepull branch situation where it works out I'm a legend?
Definitely not
dang
what I did before giving up was
facing towards the sunflare or whatever it is
and picking up left, back
and t hen running threw right one while boss gets moved
like casting it where the boss will move after first beam, running to boss to open, picking up two while boss is moving and kite the third for a sec once you're planted again
yeah basically same idea
does using it take you out of stealth?
What I did was cast it on pull at the spot where you drop 1st beam
Shadow step boss
Do accelerated opener
Pick up 2, then tokyo drift into the 3 orb as you leave the beam area
It end up like 1/1/4 timing I think
Which is fine
gonna mess around with it
if it doesn't take you out of stealth I would just prepull use it in the spot the boss moves after first beam
It does
shoot
alright good to know
I have Ashes and it's obv easier but if every other dm is us mostly planted it feels worth it to try and just solve the first one somehow
Ashes is probably better on tindral
Ur 2 mins are sent on shield with 100% dmg amp
And less cringe opener
Ashes is more bursty
It's only 0.4% worse on patchwerk for me
I would use m ashes > branch > h ashes on this hoss
the difference is wider for me but it prob means I just need to regem a lot more toward mastery
yeah I just have heroic ashes
I'll give branch a shot
Does feint stack with evasion DR with elusiveness
Yes
Sin still doing pretty well? or have we fallen out of favor for sub now?
Yeah, I got kicked out of my guild cause I don't parse high. I'm 3200 rating on m+ n do decent single target without buffs.
where the fuck do you play where shit like that happens
Silvermoon
EU
they fucking didnt kill smolderon yet
Yeah
who the hell thinks spec means ANYTHING there
They recruited a new outlaw rogue n kicked me
Guys, is assa now behind both other specs in terms of raid dmg/potential?
So I'm trialing in next reset with new guilds
depending on the fight
it's still one of the best specs
While Sub is the best raid spec, Sin is still strong
Nothing is tuned tightly enough where you gimp your team playing Sin at all
I noticed on bosses like Volcaross my DPS isn't as high, but that's to be expected because there's no phase we can abuse to get crazy numbers
yepge
Then I simply underperformed heavily tonight. I did some Mythic bosses after 3 weeks break and I was badly under what I was achieving before. I guess new team, no priest for PI, 2x nerfs and ring rust are my resons 😂
I sim exactly 220k, I guess that’s good
I think pooling is my atm problem
During kingsbane , is ambush to skipped for mutilate or doesn't matter
!up
!up
!whispyr
a old guildie of mine just reported; smolderon killed their guild
Strange how a 3% make us descending in logs a lot
I know, sin Is still One of the best specs but i havnt Imagine a downgrade like this in logs
It Is also true that logs nowadays are weird
descending in a logs a lot in what conext
!whispyr
3% is around 6.5-7k
also many people are switching to sub lately
it's still top 3 in heroic 90%, top 4 in heroic 50%
I mean we were First in overrall dmg and now 10th or similar
Kek
but it has wow in the name
yeah its means Wow in all in your head
Overall on all bosses assa is 12th BUT that is highly influenced by some pad heavy fights
boss dmg assa is still really good
True
I mean are we looking at just overall damage?
Nono
I was Just saying that the week before the Nerf we were firstspec in overrall
And now we're not
Just that, i wasnt complaing anything
yeh I mean if the top 5-6 specs are within around 5%, a 3% nerf will shuffle it around quite a bit
aug is..... curious
Guys what should I tell my aug who has never given me ebon might in raid
Is weird a lot
Should I let it be
nothing?
Nice idea but weird in a game like wow
why are you worried about his damage
what even happened with the hooks from aug?
didnt they work last season?
Oh I just want to be higher on the in game meter
they were even worse
oh
Idc if his parse is bad
just take a paintbrush to your monitor
draw a lil yellow bar
or interrupts
when do we press ashes during cds?
With kingsbane
3secs after kingsbane
people actually ask for aug buffs? i have /cancelaura Ebon Might macro's into mutilate
fight back
Our boss damage would be higher if I had it
wym
they are the worst spec
obviously
Defense
true last on the only metric that matters
sophic or wafting devo does it matter?
Would depend on gear set up. If your gear doesnt have much haste.. sims will probably suggest wafting. Its best to sim for proper information
yeah thats what im doing now
It seems like you need quite a bit of haste before it suggests anything else
jesus youre right
Wafting's pretty safe
wafting generally also gets better with more gear
Last question. Do you guys macro trinket on use with like using elemental potion
trying to free up key strokes here
I already have shadowdance and KB macroed together
potion with deathmark,
branch with deathmark
if you're using ashes put that into a macro with kb
I have branch
cool then branch potion dm all together
sweet thanks!

is there someone I can bug for sim questions and log reviews?
Grats, but I also hate you at the same time, I'm conflicted, but I'm happy for you
Hi
Also @balmy condor kinda my goat
baaaaaaa

hiya! wondering if anyone knows how the witherbark's branch works by default in raidbots sims? like how many seconds of the buff are we getting and @ how many stacks?
1/1/7
One second, pick up, one second after, pick up, holds for 7 after.
ok sweet, and so for single target im guessing it's covering the whole deathmark window then?
Ye
thanks ❤️
so if you're a noob like me and find yourself inconsistently staggering your orb pickups, might ashes be safer as an on use? im max gear and it sims slightly worse, but i feel like the consistency might be better?
Correct
awesome, thx y'all
Also you should macro ashes into kb as opposed to into DM
oh? I usually just press it right before my deathmark? ashes 20 sec, deathmark 16, kingsbane 14, why not what I'm doing?
cuz i mean kingsbane comes after 2 gcds
Ashes ticks down over time
what
"decaying every 2 sec"
the buff gets worse over time
so the way you're doing it
it's decaying for 2-3 ticks before buffing anything of value
ah, this way it'll be stronger for the last tick of that sweet sweet kingsbane
okie
thank you all 🙂
I've never related to a trinket so much in my life
the effect ended in 9.2, been burned out since
you can draw energy for so long?
time to finish a can of red bull

any general advice on maintaining uptime on mythic larodar? i know thats a pretty vague question, but any little tips and tricks would be appreciated :')
specifically, i'm having a hard time balancing keeping uptime and not dying. my guild has me taking orbs that are always in fire, so i have to reserve cloak for them. feint is a lifesaver ofc, but it eats up energy if i use it too much
as far as adjustments i've already made, i'm using ashes instead of branch and i'm considering switching to the vers flask for survivability. thoughts?
!wa
assassination
uh
assassination
@vestal wren 
smh my head they nerfed ass so much we aint even got weakauras no mo

hm
!update
Updated.
yeah he removed the "outlaw" text earlier

I'M LOSING MY MIND
ok so if anyone knows i'd immenstely appreciate it. i'm trying to get to eredath on antorus, but after having completed both defense quests over the course of two days in order to get the priest mission to pop up, it still hasn't. i can't talk to illidan or the elf, and on both ship locations for the zones i've gone into the vindikar to try and get the question from the human guy. zip, zero, zilch has shown up. i'm at my wit's end

that isnt bis tho right youd want to wait 3 seconds or something
i forgot exactly
it's close enough to bis
Should I be using IC on council? My raid leaders want me to switch to it but it doesn't seem worth it to me
yes
ty
When I look at logs after raid - I have no idea what to really think. Is it only possible to parse well with Aug and PI?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/G47xf1bvw6XTNnWk#fight=29&type=damage-done&source=24 can someone take a look at my Kingsbane windows on this boss?
Missed your crit on your penultimate tick on both of your first two kingsbanes
thats just down to RNG right? i vanished at the right time?
No you vanished too late
You vanished at 25s
do we find either of these options great or are they just whatever?
Max ilvl dagger isn’t nothing
Kinda depends on what ur gear is
!up
what's the best strat on council anyway? just ic and then stay on whoever is the best target near another? or should i be multidotting outside of stealth? feels like that would be kind of hard to keep env up and do that
they are both upgrades so obviously simming, just if the neck was actually lowkey good I could always get a max ilvl dagger
484 ilvl with both daggers at 483 one of them being nick of time
am I high or do the branch orbs sometimes literally move away from you when you get close
So wound poison is still a no-go right?
Correct
ty
Nah they wiggle real weird sometimes
Happens super rarely tho
you can edge them
sometimes if you jiggle the orb and edge it
it just stops moving
entirely
very funny trinket
And sometimes it even keeps going, but away from you
Pretty good
tier shoul be banned when u have mythic 5piece
Extendo prison on tindy now?
Yo trinket tho
Time to switch to outlaw
Ye
yap
poggies
No m signetbrand fyraak inc and by luck I wont get hc either
Waiting for my internet to come back on so I can check my vault

Hey psst have you guys found wound poison ever worth on sanguine weeks
You're gimping yourself too much with it as assa
As sub or outlaw definitely go for it tho
Okay good call ty
dream or hell?
hell
i would loot that pips so hard
Took it, but mostly cause I already have full sockets
Nice minor upgrade for tindral and I can still cope for hc signet on fyraak
Is cataclysmic signet brand a yay or nay for tyran?
Aint hourglass way better overall for single/aoe?
Depends on the tank and the dungeon. If you can stay in combat a lot and not have more than ~10 seconds of down time between pulls it can be good
But if you drop stacks too much for any reason it's pretty bad
Like Rise it's unplayable
AD is probably bad too
Throne probably bad
Wait most of these dungeons suck for staying in combat
Ive heard its bad to open vault this early before work. Can any1 confirm?
third socket of the season LETS GO
nop, I work in 1:30 hour and nick of time
here
yeah

hey atleast its over

we saw p2 tonight
i'm optimistic this boss might die within the next 2-3 weeks
You’re assuming I can read
cut me some slack
Plus it’s 1 am and I just got outta work
you didn't even respond at all
literacy 

dont have my contacts in
cant see shit
need to edit the fyrakk kill

just focus your eyes?
lmao

What’s this tmog?

Oh, night elf armor okok
Hello all can someone help with a good talen build for 20 keys and below
currently using Arterial Precision build is that the best ?
yep
thanks for the reply so the one thats on top atm on sub creation use that in all key levels ?
have you tried to unsquint them
idk I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon than use subcreation
i see....
cleave build with CT sucks btw
top 2 guys are ct enjoyers 
and passassin was pre both nerfs
cant wait to start pushing and convince people who are clowning me for dropping amp poison

is that this
yes
if you need boss dam i recommend this build, since it keeps ur core cleave talents and puts everything else into ST
Are you a tight spender kid of guy or imp ambush
tight spender
imp ambush seems pretty bad in keys
you dont ambush much except bosses really
parses for m+ is so irrelevant imo
i agree not enough groups log but its still relevant data
484651 different scenarios
and as you go higher keys scenarios converge
all tanks will pull well
people will do huge pulls
routes get fixed
people copy the +30 route on youtube for all their 25-29 keys
its a shame i can feel sin capping out on survivability tho
probably wont live higher than 28, mayyybe 29 some keys
Ive watched zero in past weeks, hes only playing amp build. Never CT
yes
Past days*
zero is not known for his amazing theorycrafting
I watched him press kb right before dance for 3 hours
yeah
spending 80 hrs a week pushing keys =/= skill
he does a lot of questionable things
You simply loose too much single with any CT build
i simmed it, this build is 5% worse on bosses but 4% better overall in the dungeon
CT felt like a good chunk of my dmg in fort weeks
and on MOST keys you dont need omega single target boss dam
this was tyrannical
i would probably drop Ct on rise/fall
but other keys its pretty troll to not take imo
you lose like 10-15k overall dps for like 5k dps more on bosses
not troll but
suboptimal
your overall damage doesn't time keys
how long did you play sudden demise before converting to the cleave build
wonder how long it'll take you to drop CT too
I still play it on fort
one dau you will see the light
that's just bad play
I dropped CT around 20-21 keys. Made a world of difference in higher keys.
Also vast majority of people shouldn't drop it ever
Looking at overall dmg for keys is bad. Usually your overall dmg comes from mobs that doesnt matter at all for the group. Idk, at higher keys just pumping the prio target with evenoms (spreading garrote on all before) with caustic seems like the play. I think sudden demise build is way more fun tho but after doing 24 keys this week its just bad
Idk when u have 5+ targets ct does way more than amp ever would
CT on a single target, in a pack, is similar dmg to amp btw
The gain is only on bosses
Ur extra prio dam is an illusion
It’s more of output in a confined time frame for prio target. Non-CT builds lets us pump into a prio target faster
Im usually looking at peoples overall after a dung and they always have absurd dmg on stuff like bats in blackrock or flowers in everbloom. Shit dies either way
It's weird people think that trash doesn't matter as if you don't need count for the dungeon too
so real
CT is not helpful when the adds are dead before it fully ramps

our class is good at prio target dmg and boss
and we're trying to pad on dead stuff
its not the way
- CT doesn't ramp
- the duration is less than ur cooldowns, so if u ever cooldown any pack CT will have done it's full duration
- on higher keys packs even the trash mobs like maggots live the full duration, since we are talking high keys (only scenario to take cleave build) your point is irrelevant
Uhh, the gear compare version of Nick of Time doesn't have timestrike on it, is that going to effect the sim?
If the adds are dead before it ramps
We have a talent for that
It's called sudden demise
🤯
At that key level you should take it 100% of time
I didn’t mean ramp. I meant tick for its full duration. You have to build combo points to throw a CT out. That has to be done before you can go into your KB pump in a priority target. That’s what I’m talking about.
Why exactly do you need to CT before KB?
I thought only poisons affected kb
Not max dmg on your KB, having CT running and ticking down, and even refreshing it in KB wundow is more overall damage than just starting kb window and envenoming
Both on ur prio target and on the other 8 targets
But pressing CT after KB isnt a damage loss though?
It isn't
As long as you keep up ur envenom stacks
You have the opportunity for a couple other finishers in KB window
I see it more of as a filler
It's not a filler it's your highest priority finisher
People playing incorrectly and using it as a filler is why they think it aucks
You use it before snd (unless stuff is being gathered)
Before anything except triple garrote
I mean it’s been one of my highest damage spells in keys
What a joyous day
ok hear me out... the vault needs a system where you can progressively increase the chance you get a specific piece of gear you want from it. The goal isnt to trivialize it, but ensure that putting in the work every week, you will eventually get one piece you want.
At this rate, so many of us will never see a Mythic Nick of Time, and thats just plain frustrating
that said
Grats my friend! Happy for you!
just loot it wdym
ye, I'm practicing gitting gud at looting
I mean it even says, sooner or later everyone sees it
so, essentially, the dinars from shadowlands
yeah bring those back so I can have edge of night
I agree!
nah dinars are a shit system imo, leave it to the rng just add rng modifiers
but sooner or later, everyone sees the time knife
yes! more rng!
Later seems to be the name of my game
Much later, I'm playing the long game
I think that dinars were a fine system, I mean you still had to kill bosses and you still only got the item on base level until you got the upgrade items as well, I think for chase items like weapons and trinkets it wasnt a bad idea
Could it be better? maybe
but it wasn't "shit"
Well tbf this was during the time when edge of night and gavel existed
Yeah it's about making it better, like with the Dinars, someone getting the drops naturally could then use them for other items, someone unlucky had to use them for the bare minimum. I'd rather a conitinuous way for a someone to chase items though the vault system directly. Food for thoughtss!
So u were literally gimped if that shit never dropped for you in raid
Yeah they haven't put any shit that gimped any classes without it in raids this expansion
(hunters in s1 crying)
Not that I care what hunters think
I mean besides nelth trinket on some classes
bro i'm sitting here astonished
Generally the feeling of losing out hasn't been bad this season whatsoever
a 13 ilvl jump for my bracers is still 1.2% worse than a set piece for my head that matches my current piece in ilvl
and it doesn't even give me the 4pc bonus, it's my third
I'm feeling pretty damn bad about not being able to hold tightly on a mythic Nicky 
I guess the feeling of wanting something and having no realistic way to work toward it except hoping to win the lottery, doesnt feel great as usual
but granted, its not the end of the world
yo, what status' should i use on my life-bound bindings ?
sim it, whatever stats you are missing, etc.
Or alternatively
There’s a string in #tc-research pins that will let you sim every crafted item individually
facts right there
hey guys, is there a crit/haste/mastery cap for assa raiding?
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
Stat balances, especially now that we are solidly within diminishing return range, are very context sensitive. Chance one thing inn your sim and its likely to tell you to gem differently
so use the info of the sim wisely, its right 100% of the time for what you tell it to sim
Fated season gearing will be fun
But not as fun as broodkeeper again 
I can’t wait until I use this anniversary fire neck to proc my eggnog ring so I can run a different embellishment than flaring cowl
Just praying they give goga bonkers tier sets for s4 fun time
Last time they used same tier
I'm quite apprehensive for the fated season and tha "fun" that will come out of it 😛 let me see our hero talents already (and change the name of Fatebound while they are at it)
Hoping for something more exciting
Yeah but last time we had only one tier set
Wanna see if they just stick with this one
Let us mix and match
Or something new
My money is on 3
Wish we got special daggers at any point this expansion
hey shhhh if Nicky hears you, you'll hurt its feelings
I’m not counting Nick because that’s just like a simple damage proc that isn’t exciting
Nick isn't special?
He'd not like if u said that
Yes but farming edge of night in s3 of SL also wasn't it
Yeah... and frankly as I said above, someone getting it dropped naturally could use their dinar for other fun stuff instead, I didnt like the dinar as for the rest of us we had no flexibility to have fun with em
Tell it I said Hi... and I hope to see it soon
I hope you do too. And tbh to get it I just pretended I had no hope and didn’t care if I ever saw one
I took a socket today
Same
The real key was two weeks ago I crafted a 486 dagger
A week later it’s in my vault to mock me
Maybe thats what I should do. craft a bait dagger, make it jealous
The reason I wasn’t hesitant to craft was my flavor pocket was on that dagger so I thought I’d be saving gold on my long wait
thats litearllly every single "special weapon" ever you doofus

fuck "special weapons"
I want something even more exciting. Maybe I’ll go play cata classic
Playing classic in a search for exciting stuff will humble you real quick
Yeah. I remember what it was like when it was current and the best part of cata was feral being op in pvp
Could kill someone in your pounce stun
Also I hate leveling. Theres no way I’m going back to any time before it was super easy
I like the way it is now where there’s a coherent and connected campaign and when you finish, bam you’re max level.
Classic now only has the possibility of being exciting if you've already been playing classic. If you don't already have an established gold pool (and aren't willing to spend $ on tokens) it's joever for you before you even start. The entire economy and raiding ecosystem is completely foreign to any sense of interesting progression anymore
Diners should allow us to update any old item to current ilvl
Thats only for Legendaries
^
I have tons of old trinkets in my bank
I you hope to upgrade them
It's different. Before gold was a prerequisite for consumables and other general preparations for entering the raid, but once you were in the raid, it took a backseat. Now, it's literally an entrance fee and fee on every piece of loot, and if you don't have it for a piece of loot you want, you aren't getting it if anyone else wants it, period.
And if you don't have the gold or the gear to begin with, you won't even get an invite, you are only invited either A) because you have gold you can spend, or B) you're already geared and can carry the buyers
