#

True

ruby birch
#

but more than likely it's gonna be a dps loss

autumn frost
#

I'd wonder if raidbots is good at simming eranog ring

ruby birch
#

should be accurate

earnest remnant
#

Why wouldn’t it be?

autumn frost
#

I feel like flame uptime without say helmet or incadescent stone would be very very variable

#

If I'm relying on grieftorch

earnest remnant
#

Yeah?

#

A sim is compiled of like 10k runs

#

So you get the avg

gusty mirage
#

nah, I'm just not going to pay for this new era of expansions where it's just rushed, wait for them to "fix" everything, then mail in season 4 with a "reboot" of absolutely nothing new

#

I'd rather spend my money on diablo 4's expac or some other game tbh

lean portal
#

very agree with you

#

unfortunately im addicted

#

but tww seems so rushed

#

didnt try beta but its scary

silk bane
lean portal
#

whats the probleme with rogue ? is it weak or bad design

gusty mirage
#

idk man, 2 months of alpha and 2 months of beta doesn't really feel like it'll result in a polished product

lean portal
#

cause if it feels weak it can easily change

gusty mirage
#

there's no amount of number tuning that can make it good tbh

lean portal
#

:/

high jetty
#

Fuck poison bomb covering swirlies on forge master boss in nelths. That’s all I have to contribute today

lean portal
#

i hope the actual content isnt as rushed

#

i loved df

gusty mirage
#

I sense that the regular content will be good

#

might have some bugs

#

but they always deliver on that

lean portal
#

hope so

#

yeah bugs is blizzard mega classic

gusty mirage
#

that and the art team HARD carry wow

lean portal
#

but as long as i can play 14 hours a day its a win

#

the art team ?

gusty mirage
#

yea, the cinematics people, the people designing the tmogs, etc

slate crown
#

Every thing your eyeballs see in the game world

gusty mirage
#

they're really really fucking good at their jobs

slate crown
#

is art

lean portal
#

oh thats very cool at least

slate crown
#

USE YOUR EYES

lean portal
#

yeah wondered if it was just like cinematics or everything everything

slate crown
#

And is a lot of work and effort, and yes, wow's art team has historically (and currently) outpaced every other team

#

in terms of quality

lean portal
#

true

earnest remnant
#

actual 10/10 work

silk bane
#

dude how can i turn on health bar in solo raid thingys in lost ark

#

its the thing thats tilting me the most right now

spice spire
#

np

silk bane
earnest remnant
#

Only way to get it is with the dps meter which technically isn’t allowed

silk bane
#

thats so aids though

#

like how can i know how close i am to killing the boss

#

also with the meter, how much do they care? like if im not streaming/ harrassing peoples dps with it do they care enough to find out?

#

do they have a vangaurd like system to check if youre running other stuff?

earnest remnant
#

You won’t get banned for having it just don’t flaunt that you use it

silk bane
#

nice nice thanks! its actually starting to get fun

earnest remnant
#

i have so many raids left -.-

silk bane
#

i need to farm more, maybe make a fwe alts and funnel some mats to my main...

#

but i keep going and pvping...

rotund oak
#

PvPing

#

you called me

#

im listening

rotund oak
#

thats not wow

silk bane
#

i have a reaper and a souleater and a deathblade and a shadowhunter rn

hot vortex
#

been back to wow for the past week and im loving it

#

feels great to be playing again

earnest remnant
#

i dont have Pheons to make them playable atm

#

so no point in getting them higher

silk bane
#

i think im gonna try to gear my reaper or souleater as much as i can first

#

just use the other ones to funnel it

#

then maybe i do more stuff later with the other ones

earnest remnant
#

no point in honing them up if they dont have engravings

silk bane
#

oh yeah okay engarvings are litearl aids wtf

#

i watched some guides and its like oh you need exactly therse ones

#

and its like i never get those ones

#

im straight up gambaing it up

earnest remnant
#

and then you buy acessories

#

thats it

silk bane
#

i gotta watch more stuff on it.

#

oh also, the "mogs"

#

u just have to buy them either with irl money or from the auction house thigny right?

#

market or w/e its caleld

#

u cant earn them in game?

earnest remnant
#

yep

#

there are some chaos dungeon ones

#

that drop

#

but they are nothing crazy

silk bane
#

man despairge, theres so many cool mogs

earnest remnant
#

just dont look at legendary skin prices

halcyon karma
#

/wa

#

!wa

silk bane
#

whyd i look it up

#

shoulda listened

earnest remnant
#

legendary skin is like 50k gold

#

its not that bad

#

for the weapon

#

i just spent 15k gold on 10 ilvls on my scrapper

#

so yeah

#

so its 1520 for reset

#

so it can do gate 1-4 brel

silk bane
#

oh nice thats really good.

#

i gotta get more gold now too...

earnest remnant
#

compare that to a level 10 gem 🙂

silk bane
#

lots of stuff to do! luckily for me im most likely only raid logging next season so i got time

earnest remnant
#

they dropped 200k over the last 48 hours cuz of the new season announcement

silk bane
#

jfc... im not gona be able to afford most of these for a while...

#

whts the fastest way to get gold outside of buying

earnest remnant
#

raids

#

fishing

#

the oreha fish

silk bane
#

oh fishing is lucrative? alright gotta try that one

earnest remnant
#

they are used for crafting Oreha fusion mats

#

which are expensive af

silk bane
#

nice nice i learned so much! gonna try and play more

#

the games so time consuming

#

but its also fun

earnest remnant
silk bane
#

and ngl the pvp is a banger, im staggering 3 people in their spawn just mmurdering them its hilarious

earnest remnant
#

thats basically how you make money

silk bane
#

oh thats actually not too bad

#

how long did it take u to collect the 486

earnest remnant
#

ehm like 3 weeks

silk bane
#

dead cries in 220k gem

earnest remnant
#

thats just from 1 character

#

thats my 1610 reaper that makes thoes from daily stuff

silk bane
#

oh alright ill look up some gold farming guides see if i can find anything else. ill let you know if I find anything useful!

#

got alot of gold to make

earnest remnant
#

wish i could sell these tho

#

just sitting on 2mil honor shards

silk bane
#

bro gimme

#

i need those

#

im down horrendous LOL

earnest remnant
#

i have 4 charrs with over 1mil on em

#

cuz there is no point in my honing them above 1540

#

now they sold

silk bane
#

wont you need those when next season / future raids come?

earnest remnant
#

those were the unbound ones

#

these are bound

silk bane

oooh right right.

what a great day to play some deathstalker

#

time to pump and get all the bitches

obtuse rock
#

idk what im doing wrong but on single target in keys im feeling very energy starved. new to spec. any tips

clever sapphire
#

thats just how it is

#

we dont have infinite energy

#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back

  • If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
  • Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
  • Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
  • With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
obtuse rock
#

thank you

still stirrup
#

it just be like that sometimes, assuming you are running the art shock build is quite bad for energy without enough bleeds up (aka in ST)

grim jay
#

Just maybe pooling one more time per boss

still stirrup
#

I find I have to pool more often in keys, raid is noticable on some bosses more than others

hexed frost
#

DIES SUDDENLY

marble trench
#

of em

rotund oak
#

SD cheeses the meters so hard its funny

grim jay
#

I mean I dont know if id call it cheese

#

Unless you actively play around it

#

Which is kinda eh

rotund oak
#

it happens randomly but its a significant amount of dmg

#

dunno if u can ever play around it,its just,u have bleeds,it procs

grim jay
#

You can for example actively refresh stuff for no reason

#

My sd is never as high as on some peoples screenshots for example

rotund oak
#

yeah true,but its like u said earlier

#

could be a massive L

#

like refreshing dots on stuff that dies in the next 3-4 sec

#

😅

fallen arch
#

Ye but that means big dam

#

And trolling super hard

#

Ultra pad

#

Give rogues bad name

#

Don’t give rogues bad name

grim jay
#

I think my sd is only ever really high if its like a weekly key

#

And stuff dies before DM runs out

#

So theres the DM bleed pop

tawny pagoda
grim jay
#

And AP shiv on stuff that pops

hexed frost
#

More IC windows = more + stronger bleeds = more mobs dying suddenly

#

It's that easy

#

Just keep bleeds up

#

Splatter damage is for turbo virgins

hello lovelies

#

pumpers my beloved

barren yarrow
#

Ok idk if anyone can explain or make sense of this but I was in raid last night. My opener was a lot better pushing almost 500k dps but after KB/DM finishes my dos drops off pretty hard, is this normal?

#

o would try to chain envenom but I’m still learning how to do it. My poisons were up almost the whole fight every time. 91% uptime.

cunning magnet
#

The way I understand it is that our damage with Kb/Dm is similar to unholy dk. Burst then fall, burst then fall, etc.

barren yarrow
#

Ok sorta like sub in a way I guess.

#

our outlaw rogue was nuts. But it’s so different.

normal mist
#

Assa has DMG spikes every 1 min with kingsbane / dm+kingsbane

royal lantern
barren yarrow
#

Ok I figured that was the case. I mean overall It felt good playing sin again in raid. Was playing havoc DH which imo just is too much.

royal lantern
#

delete momentum peepoyes

barren yarrow
#

Yeah fr. I mean it hits like a truck but just wasn’t what I wanted to play.

barren yarrow
#

Also it doesn’t say it but how does garrote generate energy? Is that the talent tree going to work?

spice surge
barren yarrow
#

OK gotcha yeah I’m not at my computer right now. I’m at work so just reading the wild head guide and trying to piece it all together.

#

Wowhead

thorn fjord
#

@spice surge mind helping me out rq?

#

or @vestal wren

vestal wren
thorn fjord
#

Trying to sim BSL with my kit

#

but the advance sim is giving me a hard time with output

gusty mirage
#

dragonflight.blue_silken_lining_uptime (scope: global; default: 0.4; min: 0.0; max: 1.0)

thorn fjord
#

its more to see which pieces i should craft it to

gusty mirage
#

neck/bracers/belt

#

or ring if you don't care enough about the shield from the broodkeeper ring

thorn fjord
#

Im def not getting BK ring

#

going for Boon tomorrow

gusty mirage
#

could get it in vault

thorn fjord
#

This is true

gusty mirage
#

but jewelery > bracers + belt

#

in terms of ilvl importance

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

so if you don't care about the ring at all

#

just send it on a ring and your neck

spice surge
#

Probably easier to do it in top gear than advanced

vestal wren
#

just use top gear instead of advanced sim

gusty mirage
#

definitely a lot less fucking annoying

#

and faster

thorn fjord
spice surge
#

Can swap stats via the "+" i highlighted as well

vestal wren
#

can also just use the text files pinned in #tc-research to get the items

thorn fjord
#

so paste from text file into top gear?

vestal wren
#

yes, but you might want to use the reduced set

gusty mirage
#

I would highly recommend going through that entire text and removing the slots you don't care about

#

or just top gear it

vestal wren
#

and do as eleem say add silken to it via the +

spice surge
#

Probably faster to just topgear it rather than trimming the .txt file

gusty mirage
#

as someone who has trimmed that text file before

#

it definitely is

vestal wren
#

wdym

#

the reduced one works fine

#

the complete one tho

gusty mirage
#

we didn't have a trimmed one in season 1 sir

vestal wren
gusty mirage
#

I started learning the ids for the dif items by the time I was done with it

thorn fjord
#

Its the second pin in tc-research right?

vestal wren
#

just copy/paste below your /simc

#

then + to add silken to the slot you want

#

the low stat slots are typically good

#

so belt, bracers, boots, ring

gusty mirage
#

(neck too)

#

cause all the raid necks are kinda stinky

vestal wren
#

true

thorn fjord
#

i think i did it right? waiting for sim to finish

#

I also want to craft a crit/verse ring for M+

#

bleh

#

Shouldnt even bother tbh none of it matters

gusty mirage
#

you can always slap blue silken on a crit/vers ring

#

and use it for all 3 specs

#

ig

#

all embellishments suck anyway

#

it won't matter if you're using it on outlaw

nimble zinc
#

why boon for assa?

#

ashes + grieftorch is typically bis

#

also i like the broodkeeper ring bc it goes all the way up to 535

gusty mirage
#

for keys

#

because he's a degenerate

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

you know where you can put that carrot sir?

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

in a juicer so you can get some beta carotene you silly goose

grim jay
#

I totally had that in mind

#

But I got my vita pills

#

No issues there

gusty mirage
#

I'll kiss you on the mouth if you sass me again

grim jay
gusty mirage
#

yes

thorn fjord
#

Also i dont play Sin in keys

thorn fjord
#

I love boon

#

Best trinket DF

toxic olive
#

nah take torch every day over it

#

torch prevented me from going insane early rasz prog, people dying left right and center in P1 and at least i got to fire the fucker a couple of times before jumping of platform

@gusty mirage thats alot of work for 1.4%

My PI bot is the best bot

#

I send him treats and sweet messages every raid night

clever sapphire
#

aight i can officially confirm, internal bleeding is not the play, not even in a low key

shy pecan
#

Also Tauren rogues are great. Biggest model going stealth and no one seeing them

thorn fjord
clever sapphire
#

+3 academy with only 2 dps because a mage left after he died a pull (i was legit spamming rupture as much as i could and always keeping it up on every mob)

#

it was fun to experiment but not having spatter was sadge

thorn fjord
#

i could have told you that lol

#

Why would you do that to yourself

clever sapphire
#

im bored

thorn fjord
#

Fair

next dust
#

When u add an extra affix to the table cause playing low keys as sin isn’t enough

clever sapphire
#

low keys as sin is fine

#

sudden demise deletes everything

#

also it was pretty fun to be more focused on spreading bleeds constantly instead of spattering off of one mob and calling it a day

spice surge
#

Ye sin is fine in low keys, just dont play the cleave build that doesnt function unless the targets live your entire kb

clever sapphire
#

i dont think i could play a low key with any build besides the shock build

#

you might as well just go full ST at that point

#

tbf this is never gonna happen, but if internal bleeding did more dmg or interracted more on the amount of ruptures up would be pretty fun. For like keys where there arent many big targets, playstyle wise this was much more engaging than spatter go brrr

thorn fjord
#

its 60 crests for 525 crafted right?

silver crag
#

Yes

thorn fjord
#

That’s too rich for my blood atm

#

Guess I gotta wait for reclear tomorrow

nimble zinc
gusty mirage
#

you can still shadowstep

thorn fjord
#

yeah double step makes that a non issue

#

Pulls are pretty static at this point too so you guage the right times to send

spice spire
#

Step evasion cloak

#

You die it’s on u at this point

thorn fjord
#

Nah always blame the healer tbh

shy pecan
#

If it’s a healer you know, for sure blame the healer

gg's Saturday btw @shy pecan I was pretty toasted

yo do we have a sweet spot for haste rating we should be aiming for?

No

Theres no breakpoints of anything, just get ilvl Surebud

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

hot vortex

thank you

I've been following the quick rec and just really pushing mastery/crit mastery/haste

about to start trying out mythic keys and see what happens

my favorite part were the random rotating fishing holes

make sure you use this 30 minute buff

oh and 2 people can't loot the same treasure!

#

yeah man

#

see you there

thorn fjord

I was hoping it would be later in sept

#

On the fence about raiding... But like fomo and all that... Its hard to quit

it's really easy

#

you just stop logging in

thorn fjord

But then i would actually have to pick up my guitar at home 😦

bros min maxing traffic so he can tell his RL he couldnt make it back home in time so he can be sat and not have to play wow

so real for that

I really enjoy playing wow so idk

gusty mirage
#

what if I really enjoy playing in traffic

#

judgy mcjudgerson

runic hinge
#

That's fair

#

I enjoyed Korthia tho, so who's really down bad?

grim jay
#

thats tough

grim jay
#

I immediately felt a burning sensation

runic hinge
grim jay
brazen gyro
#

I read the wowhead guide, for aoe, after we apply garrotes, do we stick on the same target the whole time due to caustic splatter? or do we switch around to apply ruptures?

high jetty
#

Depends on the build

runic hinge
#

IC has smart targeting so as long as you're in the ten second window you can apply rupture to your main target and it'll spread

silk bane
brazen gyro
#

This one

high jetty
#

With that build you just want enough ruptures out to sustain energy

#

If you have deathmark for the pack you only need one rupture

#

If you do not, I like 3 ish

#

Either way, IC covers you

#

Assuming you get a stealth between packs

brazen gyro
#

so I never tab target rupture essentially, only garrotte in the initial opener if there are lets say like 6 targets

high jetty
#

If you play the right side of the tree, you do that

#

But with that build, you do not

#

CPs are better spent on envenom for spatter damage

clever sapphire
#

also i wouldnt recommend that build on any key under around 12-15

brazen gyro
thorn fjord
#

Little blue lined box

clever sapphire
#

where you go the left and right sides

#

because in low keys you rarely have mobs that can live your cooldown

#

so you dont really get spatter value, and that build you posted fully goes into spatter value

grim jay
thorn fjord
#

That im not 100% sure on

hexed frost
#

At what keystone level does the cleave build really start to outshine the bleedmaxxing build?

silver crag
#

Basically any key that mobs can live through your Deathmark. Which is party relative

hexed frost
#

+10 or >+15

brazen gyro
#

does anyone have whispyrs rogue armory? I couldnt find it. Its crazy how much better rogues disc/wowhead/icyveins guides are better than other classes

#

seem very lucky with great theorycrafters

gusty mirage
#

he did

clever sapphire
#

yap

gusty mirage
#

I believe he did a few raid reclears for people's mounts

#

and then yeeted off to maplestory land

clever sapphire
gusty mirage
hexed frost
gusty mirage
#

but if your tank includes flame goolay in the route they're mentally ill

#

and you should call in a wellness check for them

clever sapphire
#

i dont think i ever played that guy above an 8

hexed frost
#

I run with a ret pala sometimes, his burst brings mobs to 30% hp and then they insta die to bleed OMEGAKEKW

#

He's like what the fcuk happened am I rubberbanding

pulsar dirge
#

!dagger

grim jay
#

its different

hexed frost
#

Yeah I know

fallen arch
#

And at some point that is what matters

grim jay
#

its debatable

#

if your group particularly struggles with bosses, sure

clever sapphire
#

sometimes i enjoy cleave more because i can just delete 1 mob each pull

#

so i just choose a mob that i hate or thats gonna wipe us the easiest and kill it

and on bolstering where thats even better i like it even more

how do you guys play totem boss in ulda on +16s ?

ruby birch
#

if you find your group lacking damage

#

try to hold vanishes just for totem damage

#

obviously hold grieftorch for it as well

#

it shouldnt be that bad though, you can live through it being up for a bit

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:

  • Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
  • You can add in some sanguine/rupture value from carnage, but chaining allows for higher uptime and smoother energy overall, eliminating a lot of ramp at the start of a pull
  • This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths (chain heavy spiteful weeks are only about -30% on stealths)
  • You still have vanish and shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
  • This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years

Do you need to meld then stealth or can just meld into garrote etc

if no, you're good to go

Btw @balmy condor did u play outlaw anytime? How is the hotbar looking? I like the dual swords style but heard its complex and APM intensive

balmy condor

I tested it a little for trickster

it's like 1 or 2 buttons less

but the APM is much higher

cause outlaw is the poster child of APM

For leveling in remix if you wanna do open world and questing stuff, Assa is the way to go. Both Sub and Outlaw you need a lot of talents deep into the trees to make them work. Else your constantly resource starved. Assa you get early access to a talent that refunds energy when mobs die which makes the spec play much better in comparison

Ok wait might be wrong... All sin for S2 but mostly sub for S1 and S3 was Sin up to Smold then the rest sub

So i guess it was a toss up

I’m not max gear but I feel like I barely do enough damage to finish people off (my opener with bleeds applied get them close to death) but then I just get zugged and murdered. I feel like PvP is over within the first 15 seconds usually, especially for me because without kings name or death mark up I can’t output as much as I should be.

rotund oak
prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

With double BSL i should be about the same as you

we killed the normal boss so quickly we didn't even realize it wasn't hard mode

the second boss

make sure to stay in the dark zone

unless you've got the debuff that needs to be cleansed

that has to be cleaned in the fast mode.

but there's two debuffs out and if the other cleanse goes off and you're in the fast area you might die

you get kingsbane stacks when you apply poison to any target

doesnt have to be the kingsbane target

the question is

#

why would that matter for the sim

#

sim assumes perfect play

#

so you stay on your main target anyways

tame mantle
#

i mean it does more dmg

#

and gives talents like TP more value

grim jay
#

it does just the same if you stay on your main target

#

that has kb

#

you dont get any real benefit

tame mantle
#

i mean

#

it will do slightly more damage

grim jay
#

you spread into cds on your main target

#

idk the poison applications on the other targets in aoe

#

should be rather minor

#

compared to the stacks you get from AA with SND

tame mantle
#

ye ye im not claiming its MAJOR or anything

im just curious if its accounted for

play torch, if you dont already do, pool energy for it and use 1 shiv. You kinda suck for totem dmg

i did but the 16 took long time....we timed but that was rly hard and many deaths there and i rly guess i suck here. Same with crystals. So saving shiv, every small cd and otherwise grief?

woeful meteor
#

ye

#

you need to coordinate as a group who uses cds when, but since your CDs are on 1 Target and ramp you are kinda fucked

#

since using on totem kills your boss dmg

and if boss is next to totem its as well too less dmg right?
