it probably only works with melee comps

past bobcat
radiant raven
#

Yeah, this pretty much

#

Like, c'est la vie it sucks but whatever

placid wave
#

yeah but when you play without an ele or UDK it feels good XD

static glacier
#

we don't need buffs, we need retuning

amber brook
#

Where is the buff you mentioned, don't see it all

static glacier
#

they need to figure out how to make our dungeon st better without breaking raid @placid wave

#

aka less tradeoffs between st and aoe in talents

winged sun
#

envenom duration is painfully low in m+

#

needs a redesign or someshit

static glacier
#

the envenom buff itself

#

needs to be looked at again

placid wave
#

lets just keep buffing mut/ambush dmg and see what happens 🙂

winged sun
#

i legit cannot get any spec to work

#

the meta classes are just way better

#

it is what it is

static glacier
#

should always just main a mage

#

less likely to be wack

winged sun
#

nah

radiant raven
#

Rogue is cooler than a mage though

winged sun
#

will play dk

static glacier
#

dk have a history of sucking cock in m+

radiant raven
#

DK's are also cooler than a mage

winged sun
#

i played dk for a while idm playing it again since its good now

devout fiber
#

I see people still talking about talents

#

what did we end up saying

#

Bleed > Hybrid?

royal lantern
sonic schooner
#

dk > bleed

#

basically

radiant raven
royal lantern
#

i would say frost DK is cooler overall

winged sun
#

@sonic schooner does frost dk play same stats as udk?

royal lantern
#

ye

winged sun
#

or

royal lantern
#

agree

sonic schooner
#

i dont think so zero

radiant raven
#

also DK set this season absolutely owns

sonic schooner
#

i m not really familiar with dk dps tho

radiant raven
#

Visually, ot be clear I have no idea what their set bonus is

winged sun
#

well u prob got ur answer on why no dk in those keys

sonic schooner
#

oh no

winged sun
#

fdk*

sonic schooner
#

u want the real answer?

#

because 90% of dk are fotm

#

who havent specced into frost once in their life

static glacier
#

frost ain't exactly rocket science

sonic schooner
#

it s like all the fire mages who cant swap arcane or frost

#

it s just

#

fotm issue

#

and also

#

they see streams

winged sun
sonic schooner
#

they see uh

winged sun
#

ngl

#

legit nothing

sonic schooner
#

they think uh is good

winged sun
#

u need to minmax every spec in the game

sonic schooner
#

i mean fdk

winged sun
#

theres no spec u can just login and do very well at

sonic schooner
#

is kinda empty

#

in terms of minmax

#

u just

#

breath

#

and be happi

static glacier
sonic schooner
#

fdk is kinda like assa in raid rn

winged sun
#

idk if breath is the same as it was in SL

#

but

#

u could extend that shit for a while if u were good

#

get pi at the perfect time

#

and bl at a specific time

sonic schooner
#

u probably still can zero

#

but in top workshop

haughty flicker
#

i think they changed it so you dont extend it as long

sonic schooner
#

too much walk anyway

devout fiber
#

Guys noob question here can u break down a Crafted wep for half a spark?

royal lantern
#

break down? what?

devout fiber
#

ok nvm xD

#

So did we agree with Bleed better than Hybrid KB build

#

or is it equivalnet

royal lantern
#

it is more or less objectively better

timber meadow
radiant raven
timber meadow
#

basically he's asking if you can get like a partial refund

sonic schooner
#

@winged sun check hopefull

#

playing only arcane

royal lantern
sonic schooner
#

since yersteday

sonic schooner
#

fire is so dogshit

#

no wonder

winged sun
#

or

sonic schooner
#

it s just

#

fire is not good

#

truth be told

timber meadow
winged sun
#

thats not true tho

#

fire is decent

sonic schooner
#

oh

#

fire is better than rogue 3 specs

#

but

#

last boss of rookery trash

#

ws trash

#

top not that great

#

and so the list goes on

#

dfc is defintly not a fire angle also

winged sun
#

btw is hopeful in liquid a meme or is it real

sonic schooner
#

i can see frost being so good in dfc

winged sun
#

that shit is so easy

sonic schooner
#

yea

timber meadow
sonic schooner
#

in 19

#

i m sure u can have an afk

winged sun
#

it was way easier in ptr in comparison to other keys

#

cuz they nerfed all other dungeons now

sonic schooner
#

dfc probably the easiest key but still

#

we re not talking

#

16 17

#

we re currently talking 18 19

#

going into 20

timber meadow
#

i only see zeross doing 18+

winged sun
#

idk we timed 17 darkflame with an entire wipe

#

2 mins left

#

and we even played it safe

#

its just a free key

sonic schooner
#

it is

#

are u aware of the strat

#

to do 12% insta on first boss

winged sun
#

ofc

sonic schooner
#

with the wagon

#

that shit so cool

winged sun
#

it can fail tho

#

the cart can spawn in the other rail

#

gets u fucked up

sonic schooner
#

this is so funy

#

i think

winged sun
#

so it becomes a bit of a disaster

sonic schooner
#

they managed to force it

#

to be always west to east

#

so

winged sun
#

how

sonic schooner
#

idk

#

but every single run i ve watched

#

it s always been 1st west to east

winged sun
#

idk

#

it usually is there yes

#

but idk why it went the other way in our last run

sonic schooner
#

and i ve watched like 14 runs with the strat

#

they re usually going fully to the exit side on top of the rail

#

and it spawns west side

#

so maybe that s how

radiant raven
real pike
#

first night on lockenstock tonight, is it as easy for melee as it seems?

#

seems like every mechanic is for ranged apart from not standing in shit lol

sonic schooner
#

melee have no mecanics

#

the entire raid

#

u just sit on boss

real pike
#

hmm

sonic schooner
#

on the good side

#

and u re happi

real pike
sonic schooner
#

and unbind shadowstep

#

for this boss in particular

real pike
#

is shadowstep naughty behaviour on the big knockback:?

sonic schooner
#

u gonna step into someone with the opposite polarities and instead of dying alone

#

u ll create a wipe

real pike
#

sadge

spice surge
#

You dont need to step anyway

#

You should either be knocked right where you want to be or gate to where you want to be

#

So it doesnt matter

real pike

#

any tips for stix first time progress? did you bother with the raid aoe build with ct or do you prefer the st build with splatter

sour elm
#

The ST splatter build is going to be the go to

#

stick to the boss and avoid trash; that's going to be the first big challenge. Once trash fires are sorted out it mostly kicks on scrapmasters and good ball mgmt

waxen hill
#

I used a ST build with Splatter and it worked great.

sour elm
#

oh also side note; his first intermission he does after teh first round of trash balls might cause CD issues. Consider holidng until after he lands depending where your CDs are at.

waxen hill
#

I managed to open with DM and KB fit in 1 more KB and just held until after intermission.

#

when is it worth to use eye of kezan? like how long should the fight be for it to be good

spice spire
#

Sims should tell you

#

Iirc it’s 7ish

#

how would u guys recommend sim for mythic plus? how many targets, how many seconds?

how do i get the new bleed build icon? cant see it

tbh the sudden demise icon is so funny

hot flicker
#

Do you think they’ll buff sin further jn st? Just curious peoples thoughts because rn isn’t it in a weird space where I can perform in only 1 metric either st or aoe

dapper cradle
#

Let’s hope they don’t

#

If sin is the go to I’m gonna do something reckless

low thicket
#

For bleed build when do you use shiv? Only after bleeds are applied or can be used to build points? Like rupture rupture shiv tempest

hot flicker
#

I just feel it’s in a weird space where it’s only able to perform in 1 metric so I’d assume they need ti change something or they just leave it and say it’s a fair trade off but in reality there is better classes in aoe already or even st to be honest

real pike
strange sleet
#

I think the problem with sin in m+ is the ST gameplay, not the fact it's damage is shit

dapper cradle
#

St gameplay in raid is just as shit tho

strange sleet
#

Make it more fun. I want to press a couple more buttons ffs

royal lantern

Dmg is just better

royal lantern

#

No way you think raid sin is fun

sour elm
#

CT is so not the play on m stix

royal lantern
#

assa is the probably best rogue spec for the hardest raidfight rn mate

dapper cradle
#

Zzzzzzzzzzz

royal lantern
strange sleet
#

I think is not as bad as in m+

dapper cradle
#

I said gameplay not performance you bum

strange sleet
#

Execute phase is kinda nuts tbh

#

yes yes

royal lantern
strange sleet
#

I mean gameplay

dapper cradle
#

And sin is just better on that one fight

red schooner
royal lantern
#

you only dont play CT on stix if the adds never really reach melee

sour elm
royal lantern
#

but like, if you can get out 1x CT on each add spawn, you do literally more boss dmg lol

red schooner
#

Like, if we had a reason to pool or something to play around the energy issues would be alright

hot flicker
red schooner
#

but just sat there spamming the muti button due to no energy with no playing around it, not fun

this expansion is my first foray back into group content and now i'm mythic raiding and i am in WAY OVER MY FUCKING HEAD

#

but ye its fine

royal lantern
#

cus its VERY common that people play stuff cus they think its good and nothing else

red schooner

(its not fine)

  • most serious groups didnt even take a rogue for stix cus rogue is not a stix class

Rik Reverb Barrels (and similar spread cleave in raid)

  • Not your problem.
  • Assassination is the worst target swapping spec in the game, and we have no tools available to deal with the situation of priority spread cleave. Caustic can reach sometimes but similar to fire mage, the boss needs to be on top of the adds, causing caustic to often be out of range.
  • If you're truly hellbent on swapping to barrels, hold your nearest darkest night and just slam a darkest night envenom into them and pray. If you're quick enough you can also pool combo points/energy and cast a rupture on a barrel to try and caustic off of them. This still will not do good barrel damage, again, the spec is doomed for it
  • Another possible option would be talenting into Crimson Tempest by untalenting Bone Spike and Doomblade. This CAN TECHNICALLY provide a bit of barrel damage, but the spawns need to be immaculate and any difficult spawns will just result in no barrel damage again.
    With all that, the best advice we have for swapping barrels:
  • Swap to Subtletly.

guys if i get benched on stix do i start streaming katamari demacy in discord while they raid

#

1.5-1.6 is more normal

haughty flicker
#

yeah 1.3m is like

#

kujo but the tank keeps the boss 100 yards away so you always have to run to box and stare at it

#

type of numbers

fleet pagoda
#

context HOLY not in my flexathon

haughty flicker
#

definitely not still angy about my tank last night dw

fleet pagoda
#

i gotchu

#

my 13 FG had a tank pull divers, two surveyors, and a whole group of spinny boys into an architect garf_sit

#

no warning at all

royal lantern
haughty flicker
#

also definitely not sad that he walked out of range of the last boss so i got punched in the face

waxen oyster
#

Why does average tank player think they’re in the mdi

#

and overpulls

fleet pagoda
#

i think their mindset is more "I didn't die so idk what you guys are doing", not any sort of awareness to what danger is to the group

waxen oyster
#

They mass pull

#

yet their personal dps

#

still sucks

#

maybe im the weird one playing a tank like a more durable dps

stable pasture
#

Bleed build OMEGAKEKW

hot flicker
#

So I generally do 1.2-1.4 as a range

haughty flicker
#

the thing you're doing wrong is not having enough ilvl unlucky

waxen oyster
#

good thing sim doesnt replicate most fights

hot flicker
#

Yeah I guess I misworded

#

Pure st

waxen oyster
#

yeah like 1.5/1.6

#

on average

fleet pagoda
#

if you're playing bleed kill time is going to matter a fair bit

#

boss dying at 2minutes kekw

spice surge
#

Its the same as any other build really

fleet pagoda
#

oh true

hot flicker
#

Yeah but it’s similar to what zero said earlier if you don’t have DM on bosses it’s just over

#

In my experience

waxen oyster
#

you can slm shivs more freely in build

spice surge
#

Yes but thats the case with any build

waxen oyster
#

how low are these keys that you kill a pack

#

and insta pull boss

#

and dm doesnt come back mid boss

hot flicker
#

I’m not doing anything high I’m doing like 10-13 but I’m just saying from what I’ve experienced the st on bosses is quite a bit lower then other classes

waxen oyster
#

actually cds coming back mid boss is likely a better use than on pull

#

because zoldyck range

royal lantern
#

hello??

hot flicker
#

Possibly I’m doing something wrong but I’m only swimming 1.4 so

waxen oyster
hot flicker
#

1.2 seems fine

Fok Conditions Post-Buff
Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:

  • Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
    Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up:
  • Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.
    Fan of Knives with Darkest Night Up:
  • Only on 2+ targets, or without Vicious Venoms talented. This is also a very very minor optimization

The most important to remember is the generator rules, clear the witnesses and darkest night optimizations can be effectively ignored as they are not meaningful DPS improvements

Hey, a question. Sims suggest to go haste which is weird. How much % haste are you running?

fallow canopy
#

!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 >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
  • Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

#

For dungeon splice, bleed build

coral ibex
#

why is it weird

#

if you have very low haste then haste gains relative value to other stats

blindside and extra lucky combo points to get more finishers in

it only matters how much you did at the end not in the first 10 sec

Are parses for kills and wipes calculated separately? If you kill you are compared will all kills and wipes compared with all wipes? I had never really thought about it, but was surprised when I got an orange parse on a 20% wipe.

who says that

For bleed build its fine

To be above 50

#

But it doesnt really matter

ok maybe this doppel guy is full trolling idk

he seems to be a firm believer but whatever lol

#

Like with the regular builds you do not want your bleeds to yoink energy

royal lantern

#

With bleed its roughly the same

quasi coyote
#

idk ive been hitting dummy and staying over 50% and it does good dmg

spice surge
#

So it doesnt really matter if you stay above or not

#

but is envenom just more

prob so idk

just dont do it

now we know bleed actually doesnt do less st, in fact the opposite

#

so maybe we see it played more

devout fiber
#

hmm

#

not seeing it reflected in the raider leaderboard thou

#

if that was true then bleed talents would be dominating, nah?

haughty flicker
#

did you not read what i just said

vapid gorge
#

is the wowhead bleed build the right one?

haughty flicker
#

yes

#

and it tells you some talent swaps you can do

#

if you want

vapid gorge
#

yeah pugs are going to want ironwire for sure

#

im thinking bone spike is the swap that makes the most sense?

quasi coyote
haughty flicker
#

common option is drop sbs and doomblade for iw and kb

devout fiber
#

sbs?

haughty flicker
#

bonespike

#

serrated bonespike bc it needs to be edgy

devout fiber
#

hmm

#

is there an option to get only iron wire

haughty flicker
#

the wowhead guide has a whole section about talent swaps that will explain it better than i could

vapid gorge
#

i did just run a +8 dfc with the build from wowhead as is and my ST was definitely lower

haughty flicker
#

i just dont play iw because pugs dont deserve it

vapid gorge
#

so probably worth a swap for kb

#

but yeah iw probably not worth a swap tbh. aoe blind is good enough

haughty flicker
#

swapping sbs doomblade for iw kb will be less st

#

but you get iw

#

and lose less st than some other swaps

vapid gorge
#

sbs was 1.4% of my dmg on this test run

#

kingsbane will likely do more

#

i can keep doomblade

#

fuck it ill just sim it lol

royal lantern
#

you cant check that by details lol

#

+sbs is a stack for lethal dose aswell

mortal badger
#

yea the openers are a bit clunky without sbs

#

i personally didn't like dropping it

royal lantern
#

its rpture->fok->rupture then

mortal badger
#

fok->1cp

#

lulz

haughty flicker
#

bleed op

#

and fuck iw

#

if pugs are nothing without iron wire they dont deserve iron wire

thorny lantern
#

bleed is only good for 2+ targets

haughty flicker
#

this sim is literally showing it in the lead in st

#

even if you do take iw

#

reject hybrid embrace bleed

#

unless you pull 100 mobs then kingsbane spatter still good

vapid gorge
haughty flicker
#

i dont often have full raid buffs in m+

#

so i dont sim m+ builds with them

royal lantern
haughty flicker
#

crit is actually our worst stat because if you were good you'd just crit anyway

spice surge

Crit doesnt contribute to sudden demise

vital flicker

Just be luckier

So therefore its not good ez

haughty flicker

true

crit is skill issue true

get good crit more

i cant get raidbots to update my talents to the sbs > kb swap :/

yeah its a bit annoying

thorny lantern

you cant really compare dmg, because you do more if the are low

real pike

the way SBS sits on them forever is at least mildly irritating

thorny lantern

yeah that is so annoying

atleast make an npc for resets

proud rover
#

Are people playing assa on mug'zee for execute dmg?

runic hinge
#

yes

haughty flicker
#

yes

#

spatter hitting both goons is nice but sin is like one of the best execute specs in the game

#

and thats where the damage matters on mugzee

hardy rapids
#

!up

iron vapor
#

Yeah, that last 40% needs to disappear as quick as you can

proud rover
#

ty bois

iron vapor
#

The meters when the boss hits 35% are interesting, watching my rogue damage go from roughly #8 ish up to #1-2 in the space of a couple of minutes is always nice. Zoldyck recipe doing the business.

subtle tundra
#

you should play warrior then!

coral ibex
#

why would you play warrior when you could be an assa rogue getting blindside procs

#

that shit owns

vital flicker
#

Isn't assassination's execute better than warrior's?

haughty flicker
#

i think arms might be better

coral ibex
#

assa has the best execute in the game yea

haughty flicker
#

but idk

coral ibex
#

dont listen to the woyers

haughty flicker
#

both are very good

#

arms kind of wins just by default though since it literally has the skill execute

#

cant compete

low thicket
#

Break fingers playing warrior or chill rogue

thorny lantern

warris are just wannabe rogues

subtle tundra

fury is the execute spec i believe

We have the skill "kick" but shaman still has a better one

red portal
#

Guys, assa vs. sub in current state is resulting to what? Assa better on multi targets and Sub better in ST?

red portal
#

Both

#

I consider M+ more of a multi target situatioon though

static glacier
# red portal Both

st in raid is v similar for both specs, sub has 90s cds while sin is 2m. aoe capabilities depend on which enemies spatter can / can't hit as to which is better for that in raid

neon lodge
#

It's normal to have a 50-100m damage on boss variance on Bandit MM without fixates? I think i'm playing pretty similar every try

static glacier
#

in dungeons sin is better aoe, sub is better st

jaunty basin
#

i know tthis might be admin but can someone let me know what i can cloak in tthe mplus dungeons and raid. i cantt find a video or a thread explaining optimal times.

#

ie.. i know it works well for second boss in the rookery with the orb thing

static glacier
#

!cloak

#

!defensives

balmy condor
#

it's also just not really needed

#

elusiveness is required for any key of value, and there's no super awkward cloaks or anything

#

it's all intuitive

vital flicker
#

I intuitively cloak after I take damage and no more damage is going out

marble hemlock

real and based

balmy condor
#

true

haughty flicker
#

the priory soak definitely got me the first time

#

but otherwise most cloaks seem ok

marble hemlock
#

just like macroing mutilate and the healthpot together so no one can ever say youre not using healthpot often enough in a raid night

balmy condor
#

but yeh, the sheet in shadowlands had a bit of spice to it cause there was so much weird stuff

but with elusiveness buffs and bait and switch

like you just press buttons and you have defensive gg

im the 10 for vaulter

we might have to get the one macro a day guy to update his sin macro for the bleed build...

what a strat

yeah

that was uh

certainly a decision

nova kelp

what actually was that

that felt weird

#

like a pro wrestler move

lavish wing

So bleed build is better overall cause it has insane aoe but st is wet noodling?

balmy condor

st is better

nova kelp

it's just better, and cares about less

it's legit hte opposite if anything lol

you get a lot further just vibin

I had some of the worst parses the other night, i feel like i straight up dont know how to use mega magnet correctly. Should I use it expressly and specifically only with lingering darkness? should i be using a specific build to take advantage of it? or is it only good for specific fights?

do i have permission to post a picture of a modded chest armor that got alot of people purged for 2 days from the game?

"do I have permission to do a thing that's not allowed"

outlaw just cares about the dumbest shit

just becasue OL isn't the #1 rogue spec doesnt mean blizz hates it

and pretend it wont be fixed

lavish wing
#

Blizz hates all rogues equally

runic hinge
#

yeah and they dont want bugged interactions no one knows about that gives youy a secret 5% dps

#

they would rather have the spec be straight forward

bronze pike
#

keep in mind outlaw has alot of positive bugs that only a handful of people know about thus widening the gap between good outlaw players and bad ones

runic hinge
#

and then they can buff you 5%

bronze pike

thus making the spec hard to balance

not because yall have been exploding the chat every 2 seconds about it

because

before it was 1 guy here and there

now it s all of that in lfg, people asking golds for their key, or asking if they could pay you for yours

midnight mist

ok and advertising in lfg isnt allowed

haughty flicker
#

if theres a way to make a good thing bad the community will do it

midnight mist
#

so they will get banned and we move on

#

dont you remember in sl

#

where people would adv in lfg

haughty flicker
#

yeah people definitely dont do that anymore

sonic schooner
#

yea but it s w/e cuz it s not advertising, it s "hey guys i do my key in lfg if you pay", it s kinda different and it goes with the tos i think

ok it s time for some chill io pushing

its more just theres 0 reason to do a 9 unless you specifically need it for io

and even then you try to just go straight to 10

so nobody applies and those who do arent the greatest

they arent sending their best
