Though it's good that they changed Venom Rush because Haste being good and having old Venom Rush leads to balance issues.

exotic glen
#

mastery was garbage for ret last tier

#

maybe not garbage, but certainly not equal to other stats

civic palm
#

Yeah and stat balancing was bad with the stats that were good and not even all of them.

#

Imagine just everything being about as good as everything else.

No thanks.

dire remnant
#

why do i get rup up b4 vvulnerabilities are active mizerok?

gaunt moat
#

Because having four good stats makes everything bad.
No, it just means we can scale better with more gear options

civic palm
#

M+ still exists and targeted farming is still a thing now.

exotic glen
#

i've been trying to wrap my head around that statement for some time now

dire remnant
#

once i do that do i run around rupturing everything or just tunnel nature add?

civic palm
#

To be honest I do not know if you should rupture literally everything, but at least the physical add will take more damage from your Rupture before you setup for the PSN add.

#

I do not think that you have that time.

vernal adder
#

m+ ye just run it 9000 times and get lucky tf

civic palm
#

Not even TF luck.

#

Though you might need it considering every stat is good for you now.

#

Can't even get unlucky but crit/mastery so w/e.

vernal adder
#

atleast weekly chests will be good then when every stat is good

#

havent got shit in 5weeks

civic palm
#

I just like focued stats, that's all.

#

It's probably going to end up that way anyway.

vernal adder
#

and I got the antorus cache today, the argus neck. 985, worse than my 940

civic palm
#

No primary stat so that's gonna happen.

vernal adder
#

no fuck 980

civic palm
#

Doesn't matter what that number is when the stats are bad and there's no primary stat to pad the weighting to make it an upgrade.

grim canopy
#

damn i just got prydaz

exotic glen
#

at least it wasnt sephuz

civic palm
#

Very very true.

grim canopy
#

can asassin do good aoe withotu shoulders?

civic palm
#

Though I mean, haste is gonna be good so hold onto it for leveling anywaaaay?

#

Shoulders only account for a small amount of what should be an extended AoE encounter.

vernal adder
#

isnt the artifact a neck

civic palm
#

Yarrr it be an necklace.

#

Get farked.

vernal adder
#

im used to it

grim canopy
#

i see ever rogue just uses shoulders always

civic palm
#

Prydaz is fucking good now though for WQ/etc. due to the bubble causing you to not get dazed > _>

vernal adder
#

or just get the LW thing

dry zodiac
#

what leggys you pref in m+ this week?

#

or on trash/bosses

vernal adder
#

valeera sephuz

civic palm
#

ha

exotic glen
#

valeera sephuz

vernal adder
#

I just run mantle+brazzers for everything

grim jay
#

brazzers 🤔

civic palm
#

Also should note that we're not getting locked into shit stats due to the tier removal, so everything being good is even lamer.

grim canopy
#

i think ill just pick this rogue up again for bfa, i got like 5 so far all really bad

dusty quest
#

What's the best approach to Coven? Keep dots on both?

grim jay
#

get benched for coven

#

get back for aggramar

vernal adder
#

get ranged

grim jay
#

thats the best approach

#

other than that

#

keep rupture on both

dusty quest
#

What about hounds?

grim jay
#

too far away

civic palm
#

pffft tank them closer pussy.

#

jk don't fucking do that

dusty quest
#

For coven, I use fan as generator?

exotic glen
#

mut

grim jay
#

thought the fokkening is over?

civic palm
#

Fan does crap damage so it's all about the CP generation, and without a ton of crit FoK generates crap CP.

exotic glen
#

it is, which is why i told him to use mut

valid plank
#

don't be rup both hounds?

exotic glen
#

dont actively go for it, since they are too far apart

#

if you have to switch dog or something, refresh dots tho

dire spoke

mizerok toxic tipps

vernal adder

just kill the boss, ez

valid plank

if i have sprint and step off cd i can do it easily

question is if it's worth it

zealous dew

lol brazzers

#

AHHAAHAH

#

PIN THAT PLS

slate rock
#

!relics

chrome tuskBOT
muted badger
#

so whats the thought on everything being AP based rather than weapon damage

civic palm
#

Stops weapons titanforging from being an issue.

#

so w/e

muted badger
#

makes weapon damage completely worthless though

#

if auto attacks are kept in the same pathetic state they are now

civic palm
#

It has been for 2 years.

#

So w/e

muted badger
#

not for warriors

turbid harbor
#

as long as you scale well enough with secondary stats it doesn't really matter that we barely scale from weapon damage

civic palm
#

Not a warrior discord

#

so w/e

muted badger
#

they're changing everyone tho

civic palm
#

Weapons TFing is a problem, this solves that, it's all numbers at the end of the day anyway.

muted badger
#

they said weapons won't be able to titanforge

civic palm
#

As much, we know that the azerite armor cannot TF at all.

turbid harbor
#

yea and weapons can't titanforge anyway atm?

fervent beacon
#

only WF

muted badger
#

^

fervent beacon
#

so it won't be that bad tbh

muted badger
#

it just seems dumb to make weapon damage irrelevant for every class

civic palm
#

If it's easier to balance, that's all that matters.

muted badger
#

it brings back the relic problem, ooh got a shiny new weapon, oh wait nevermind it has garbage stats, i'll keep the previous tier thats 5-20 ilevels lower

civic palm
#

Hey don't worry, every stat is good for you in BfA, yay.

crystal fox
#

i do like no more tier sets

civic palm
#

Yerp

fervent beacon
#

me too

crystal fox
#

hate being left with 1/3p for ages

civic palm
#

Very interested in seeing where the AArmor bonuses go.

fervent beacon
#

I have a 960 gloves with best stats that i can't use because of tier

#

and my tier is at 945

muted badger
#

Im on the fence about tier, could be good could be bad

turbid harbor
#

how do we know mastery is going to be good for us in the expansion?

lone junco
#

Hasted bleeds default or hemo or something lame?

turbid harbor
#

when we don't know any of the values?

civic palm
#

Default IIRC.

#

Hemo still not there due to Dispatch.

regal cape
#

I mean

#

Mastery of of course going to be good

turbid harbor
#

why?

#

it could be put at a shitty value and then it would be bad

drifting crypt
#

what if haste is gonna be the best 🤔

muted badger
#

Bleeds and poisons

civic palm
#

So, if Haste is good...

#

then Mastery has to be good.

lone junco
#

Doesnt matter tbh.

civic palm
#

So Crit is not as good.

lone junco
#

Ye.

civic palm
#

So CP gen is bad.

urban storm
#

whee

regal cape
#

The chances of it not being worthwhile when they will affect both poison and bleed and have interaction with haste and vers is slim

civic palm
#

FEELS BAAAAAAAAD

urban storm
#

we haste boiz

turbid harbor
#

why does mastery have to be good?

#

they could halve the benefit of it now on live

#

and it would be bad

civic palm
#

Haste influences DoTs, Mastery influences bleeds and poisons.

turbid harbor
#

if 200% mastery on live got you 100% instead

#

mastery would be bad

civic palm
#

That makes mastery better the better haste becomes.

#

unless the scaling is AWFUL.

regal cape
#

Except half the value and affecting bleed would net gain

turbid harbor
#

looking at synergies without knowing the base values is pointless

lone junco
#

Yay 3active stats.

urban storm
#

it also makes haste better the better mastery becomes

civic palm
#

We can see base values.

#

_>

turbid harbor
#

7 months before release we can see yea

regal cape
#

Just being pesamistic and pedantic is also pointless

lone junco
#

Is Alacrity on the tree?

civic palm
#

Gone IIRC.

gilded lark
#

It's all feelycraft right now.

lone junco
#

I just want to get something out of lust.

gilded lark
#

Not even into beta yet. Shit will change

civic palm
#

VR, TB, EX now

turbid harbor
#

the assumption that mastery is going to be a good stat for us, only because it has been in the past, is stupid

zealous dew
#

100% haste build inc

lone junco
#

Will lol if we all bleed bois btw.

turbid harbor
#

it's not pedantic

regal cape
#

Except we aren't going off it has in the oast

muted badger
#

maybe they will make melee weapons have a larger than normal amount of base stats

#

like caster weapons do atm

gilded lark
#

Zolbar is right. I mean, look at current feral.

civic palm
#

@turbid harbor It's not about the past, it's about Haste mathematically making Mastery better due to synergy's, again, unless the ratio is awful.

gilded lark
#

Mast was a great stat for them until antorus

civic palm
#

Mastery could be fucking AWFUL.

gilded lark
#

Now its lower than haste

regal cape
#

Active interaction with all stats now improves mastery, even at lower values

turbid harbor
#

haste making dots tick faster makes mastery BETTER

#

but not GOOD

regal cape
#

Mastery likely won't be as good sure

lone junco
#

Hasted dots are tick rate not shorter duration right?

valid plank
#

sorry to chime in but if anyone has a nice ui for sin rogue they don't mind sharing a pic of, just looking for some inspiration of my own

gilded lark
#

Yes

civic palm
#

Should be same duration.

gilded lark
#

Noobe go read the wowhead post lol

urban storm
#

so would that create "breakpoints" ?

gilded lark
#

Yes

civic palm
#

Yes.

lone junco
#

No. Too far out.

shrewd oriole
#

Uhhh

gilded lark
#

Then dont ask

#

Because it's too far out

lone junco
#

Deal.

shrewd oriole
#

Oh you’re already talking about it

civic palm
#

Yeah just leave.

#

Who cares.

#

Don't talk

#

About anything .

lone junco
#

Rip

civic palm
#

shhh

#

Talk about now.

#

Because now is fucking interesting.

gilded lark
#

Yes

civic palm
#

No

gilded lark
#

No changes for 7 months

#

Interesting gameplay

civic palm
#

Haste being a thing will continue into BFA release.

#

Stats will continue to be influenced due to math unless they break something.

gilded lark
#

Time to refine your rotation so it can get changed in prepatch

civic palm
#

Which I mean... could happen.

lone junco
#

I hope prepatch is god.

#

crit mastery exang.

gilded lark
#

Bring back multistrike

civic palm
#

No

#

You probably want reforging as well.

lone junco
#

I like crit mechanics.

gilded lark
#

Yes

#

I do

lone junco
#

And fuck forging.

civic palm
#

Yeah give us a third critical strike mechanic.

gilded lark
#

But if all stats are good for most classes

#

Then reforging can go away

#

And stay away

civic palm
#

ALL STATS BEING GOOD FOR MOST CLASSES IS BAD DESIGN

lone junco
#

Loot nightmare.

civic palm
#

Stop asking for it.

gilded lark
#

Bad design

#

Being able to use drops

#

Terrible idea

civic palm
#

Sure right.

shrewd oriole
#

I agree with not mizerok

civic palm
#

Remove stats, only AGI.

#

Why not?

#

Gotta be able to use everything I get.

shrewd oriole
#

Not every angle stat should be

civic palm
#

Cause that's what MMOs are.

#

Good stats give a spec definition.

lone junco
#

Then we just remove secondaries and just use agi.

#

Eee

gilded lark
#

Yes

valid plank
#

i think the gap between stats shouldn't be as huge as they are now but still having preferred stats is nice

tranquil birch
#

I think the problem people are pointing out is that literally every class benefits from their worst secondary stat far more than we do

gaunt moat
#

@civic palm i think you're way off with what you're claiming.

gilded lark
#

That's essentially current frost dk and its lovely lol

#

Equip anything

civic palm
#

I'd rather crit/mastery being good for PSN build and haste/vers/mas become good for BLD.

gilded lark
#

Gain dos

gaunt moat
#

more options = better design

gilded lark
#

Dps*

#

Rip dos

civic palm
#

More options does not equate to better design at all times.

gaunt moat
#

it does most of the time

#

and it does in this case

civic palm
#

It's good design for making sure that all gear is good for you, sure, but that's not a good design.

#

_> that came out weird

gilded lark
#

I just want to be able to equip that 970 titanforge instead of DEing it because my 940 is better

gaunt moat
#

when you get an item that's 10 ilvl higher, but diferent stats than what you had, but it's not a dps loss...
how can you claim that's bad?

civic palm
#

Because again, remove secondary stats, just Agility.

#

Sounds fun.

gaunt moat
#

so you're saying they should dumb down the gearing?

civic palm
#

If nothing matters because everything is fine, then your class/spec has no definition.

gilded lark
#

Lol. I didn't say make all stats equal

civic palm
#

Dumbing down the gearing IS is making all stats good.

#

or equal.

gilded lark
#

There will still be breakpoints, caps, etc.

muted badger
#

bring back hit/expertise yo

#

make auto attacks great again

gaunt moat
#

how did you get to the conclusion "nothing matters"

civic palm
#

Because if all stats are near equal than they might as well not matter.

gilded lark
#

Because he's mizerable

civic palm
#

There will be breakpoints for Haste, and then you dump stats into everything else until you can hit another breakpoint.

gaunt moat
#

we don't know if they're near equal. we only know they will give a substential benefit.

civic palm
#

UNLESS bleeds/poisons don't hit hard enough due to mastery not scaling well.

gaunt moat
#

you're jumping to conclusion and going off on a rant about it

civic palm
#

Breakpoints for haste will happen > _>

gilded lark
#

Nobody said they won't

civic palm
#

I hope we don't end up there, as well as I hope this change actually matters.

exotic glen
#

idk why you sound like you want to keep dead stats

gilded lark
#

I just want all stats to be worth something for most classes

civic palm
#

We've a dead stat now and things are great > _>

exotic glen
#

getting a single haste item this entire expac has been super aids

gilded lark
#

Instead of having dead stats

exotic glen
#

i dont want haste to be a dead stat

#

unlike you

gilded lark
#

Yeah they're awesome. Rng based dps

civic palm
#

Stats have nothing to do with RNG in this case, but yeah RNG has been an issue.

#

PBomb is pretty dope on Alpha though > _>

valid plank
#

you'll still have 10ilvls be shit even with stat generalisation once breakpoints start kickin in tho right?

gilded lark
#

Possibly. But it won't be nearly as bad

#

And changing one piece could mean you could equip that 10 ilevel piece

gaunt moat
#

if your fear is gonna be "this item that dropped will be good for everyone"
i don't think that's gona be the case.
there's just gonna be mroe than one way to build your spec, and it will still priortize different stats.

gilded lark
#

Fuck i hate my phone keyboard

gaunt moat
#

for exmaple, bleed spec would want more haste

civic palm
#

haste/mastery/vers is things are well.

gaunt moat
#

comapred to poison

civic palm
#

vers not so much

#

though mastery got the nerfbat

valid plank
#

but now every leather wearer will roll on same item if it's ilvl upgrade

gilded lark
#

Is that so bad

civic palm
#

Yep.

valid plank
#

yes

gaunt moat
#
  1. it's not a problem
  2. i doubt that will happen
#

for the reason i just explained

valid plank
#

the gap shouldn't be 940>980 cause secondary stats

#

but 940>950 isn't a bad thing

gilded lark
#

Notter and i on the same side. hypermonkaS

civic palm
#

I like interesting items.

#

I don't think when they are boring.

#

Boring being, it's an item level upgrade, therefor an upgrade.

gaunt moat
#

do you prefer it when loot drops and everyone passes?

gilded lark
#

You think? krappa

civic palm
#

and I also understand why we should have gotten rid of tier like a decade ago > _>

deep magnet
#

What is the average rate of legendaries for a daily player?

valid plank
#

haste effects both, and from look at the pictures in the post haste has a near equally shit effect on both poisons and bleeds

#

2week

gilded lark
#

7-9 days for a heroic raider

valid plank
#

depending on content

civic palm
#

1.5 a week or so I would assume

#

If you are doing content.

gilded lark
#

I average 8 days

civic palm
#

Like really doing it .

crystal fox
#

if you are doing everything you should about every 5-7 days

valid plank
#

2 resets not 14 days i mean

gaunt moat
#

not to mention, let's say "everyone will want all gear"
that would also mean you have a bigger pool of loot to compete from.
so in the end, it's not a problem.

crystal fox
#

there's people who's really pushing it who's getting legos every 4-5 days

civic palm
#

and the loot trading we got in Legion has been good.

#

Almost universally.

valid plank
#

but item drops in raids stay the same al

civic palm
#

Minus the NLC/relic issues, that won't exist in BFA AFAIK.

valid plank
#

and as a leather wearer with 4 classes all competing for the same item it'll be a pain imo

civic palm
#

All that matters is that some stats are better than others, that's all. Don't fuck it up Blizz.

/shrug

valid plank
#

to a degree*

civic palm
#

Should be simple considering we don't have Artifact Weapons to fuck things up.

drifting crypt
#

@valid plank its already a pain, so nothing will change

civic palm
#

Unless the azerite bonuses are crazy > _>

gaunt moat
#

and to top it all...
we don't know what the artifact traits are gonna be like
and how will they affect gearing.
so, like... this conversation is pretty absurd

valid plank
#

i don't want 960 titanforges being a bank slot for my 930 crit mastery

#

yeh but it's a fun conversation none the less

civic palm
#

Yeah not pissy at anyone, just that bland stats are no fun.

#

Can't wait for interesting bonuses and not being locked to tier 👍 let's go.

#

alt+up/down arrow moves channels O _O

gaunt moat
#

well, the stats in wow ar bland either way.

civic palm
#

Eh, it's nice that Mastery is so obviously good.

gaunt moat
#

mastery? just x% more damage
versatility? just x% more damage
crit? just x% more damage

civic palm
#

Though maybe it's too far in that direction now.

gaunt moat
#

haste? might be slightly better now, but still kinda boring

civic palm
#

Crit is more than just more damage for us considering CP gen.

gilded lark
#

But what do those cp turn into

civic palm
#

The difference between 20% and 50% leads to a nice smoothness.

gilded lark
#

More dmg

civic palm
#

If you wanna be reductive, like I was about all stats might as well being AGI, then sure.

#

CP generate rate changes how you react to the buttons you pressed.

gaunt moat
#

the "intresting" part of stats
comes when you want to decide how to build your spec to maximize dps

civic palm
#

That's more than you can say for mastery, vers, or haste.

#

Also how stats influence your gameplay, that's interesting.

gaunt moat
#

and i don't think that aspect is going to be hurt. it's just going to allow for more options.

civic palm
#

old Fire Mage with low crit does not feel good, and while more Crit is obviously a DPS upgrade, it changes how the spec feels to play.

gilded lark
#

I mean

civic palm
#

Now it's way way better.

#

Waaaaaaaaay better.

#

Though suffers from that still.

gilded lark
#

Not really. You just pyro more

civic palm
#

Again, reductive.

#

Large fireballs are cool.

gilded lark
#

When you've got 90% crit with enhanced pyrotechnics

#

And fireball doesnt crit

civic palm
#

Right but it's the building to that.

#

Not just being there.

gilded lark
civic palm
#

Tru

#

It's nice when the breakpoints for changes in gameplay make things more fun.

#

More fun than just getting another tick of Bleed or Heal with your spell.

@drifting crypt We have a potato tank, with a potato RL, and potato ranged.

gilded lark

Head is a good legendary.

It also depends on offpieces

civic palm

So while the Pyro implodes, everything else kinda fucks about.

gilded lark

Yeah the only well kept IV pages are the hunter ones

Because the hunter TCs control it

Mizerok, was reading your feelings on how stat weights will be next expansion. Can't decide which i'd prefer- everything being decent or having true bis stats

Do you spam envebom less thicc?

Yeah I'd like to have everything matter, but all stats being decent is dull, I do not think that will be end up there.

70-80% is good for ENV.

drifting crypt
#

just looking at the top 5 logs on garothi mythic, none of them has >80% envenom uptime

civic palm
#

Yeah lots are around 75 from those that I saw.

crystal fox
#

mythic has alot more movement where you can drop envenom

civic palm
#

Except for this fucker with 85%

#

Short fight =\

#

Also yeah, fight length is going to matter.

frosty linden
#

I found myself spamming it without thinking, as i have no envenom tracker on my UI (my brain cant work fast enough to look to my buffs), so i tried keeping track of it and slowing my rotation of mut > env and i couldnt tell if it was more benificial or not and this is why i came here to ask

#

Whats the pandemic time on env?

civic palm
#

Some top 100 Rogues for Mythic have 65% even.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

drifting crypt
#

30% is pandemic

frosty linden
#

30% of how long you started with? So if you did it with 5cp it's 30% of the 6 seconds and if you did it with 4cp 30% of the 5 seconds?

drifting crypt
#

no, 30% of how many cp your next env is

#

just like your bleeds

#

IMO, as a general rule, you can clip it below 1s

frosty linden
#

Deary me it seems i have been gravely mistaken on how pandemic works. I thought the standard pandemic for bleeds was 7.2s but is it all relative to your cp?

civic palm
#

30% of the previous timer is applied to the max duration of the refreshed ability.

#

7.2s for 5CP Rupture, 6.4s for 4CP Rupture.

#

So, 7 seconds.

#

Honestly.

frosty linden
#

That would make the garotte pandemic 5.4?

civic palm
#

Garrote duration is 18 seconds.

vapid moth
#

i average out at 60. would that be cause i only have 23% crit?

exotic glen
#

off the top of my head, 5.4 is right

civic palm
#

Crit and fight duration will influence ENV uptime for sure.

lone junco
#

Ok. I was under the assumption the 30% is calc from the new application. Not the previous.

civic palm
#

So the tracking I have for DoTs will change if the previous application was 5CP or 4CP.

#

This tracking was done by Stjern a while ago so I trust it.

#

and I had to google it to make sure and it seems I am right buuuut at the same time some people are vague.

civic palm
#

AFAIK you refresh DoTs depending on their remaining duration, and that base duration is found from the CP we used to cast the DoT.

#

That's where the 7.2 and 6.4 seconds come from.

exotic glen
#

ur a god mizuxe

dire spoke
#

my WA is set to 7s

exotic glen
#

that pb dmg lul

prime void
#

really not stupidly high

exotic glen
#

god lucker

prime void
#

dogs are stacked

#

pb hits both

#

ez dmg

exotic glen
#

oh didnt see that

civic palm
#

Averages are fine, you are losing damage but not enough to matter.

exotic glen
#

ur not god

prime void
#

the garothi is god pb i think

civic palm
#

.2 seconds from 5CP Rupture is whatever, .6 seconds from 4CP is also... whatever.

prime void
#

Yeah this log is fucking great

#

lmfao

#

First time ever playing sin

#

and this was the log lol

dire spoke
#

ye cba with that shit while dodging every mechanic

exotic glen
#

🤔

dire spoke
#

like, I'm not ranged

#

LUL

frosty linden
#

spicy poison bomb procs

civic palm
#

7 seconds, ezpz

#

Also...

#

refreshing early so you don't get fucked by timing during burst cycles, you technically lose damage from the DoTs but not from the blowing up of the thing you are hitting.

dire spoke
#

yeah I often find myself needing to refresh at like 11s to prep KB

#

and then I'm like eeeeehh what am I doing wrong

vapid moth
#

ideally rupture should be refreshed minimally right?

civic palm
#

Yeah.

exotic glen
#

ideally

#

but you need to play around cds

civic palm
#

I will say that if you have 10 second left going into KB, you can refresh after the last ENV needed to keep the buff up for the KB ticks.

#

Probably with that is that you are usually stacking things with KB, Tb for the last 9 seconds means ENV spam is better.

dire spoke
#

oh my god

civic palm
#

TB before KB and you can safely refresh RUP during KB so long ENV stays up.

dire spoke
#

env proccs from rup right

civic palm
#

SoT does

#

not ENV.

dire spoke
#

oh ye

#

wait

#

we want env up during KB not SoT or

civic palm
#

Both would be great. ENV to assist KB in stacking from Deadly Poison applications.

dire spoke
#

I think I mixed up my WA

civic palm
#

SoT for raw damage.

dire spoke
#

fml

civic palm
#

If you can clip ENV @ 2 seconds you will keep SoT up for the duration of KB.

dawn kettle
#

tbh, im just too lazy to turn off the aura bars from elvui @zealous dew

dire spoke
#

I was watching the wrong bar all along since coming back to sin

civic palm
#

I don't track SoT at all considering you can just know how long you have on it due to your ENV timer.

#

Well...

#

during the times that matter anyway.

dire spoke
#

I track SoT since you can't track env from rupture

civic palm
#

When would that matter? The SoT timer anyway.

dire spoke
#

give me a second ...

quick ice
#

During KB it's nice to know, otherwise not that helpful

civic palm
#

During KB you should not be refreshing RUP.

#

if you are then you are probably clipping SoT anyway and will need to cast ENV ASAP.

#

Otherwise you lose ENV uptime and therefor KB damage.

dire spoke
#

so when we rup we loose the env clipping anyway

civic palm
#

Yeah.

dire spoke
#

I totally lost track of that

#

omg

#

like

#

I tried to clip SoT with rup

#

lol

civic palm
#

This used to be a thing.

#

When we had Agonizing Poison.

dire spoke
#

ooohhh

#

yeah that's when I made this WA

#

LOL

civic palm
#

👍

dire spoke
#

so now sin is actually all 'fuck it'

civic palm
#

You have an extra second.

#

Which might as well be fucking infinity.

lone junco
#

@civic palm really fucks up my opener. Garrote rupture ven mut mut vanish rupture.

#

Exang

civic palm
#

I imagine pandemic timers don't REALLY matter all too much in the opener so long it's not colliding with something somewhere else down the line.

lone junco
#

I was aware that pandemic max was based on 2nd application.

civic palm
#

1CP rupture is still how much duration though?

#

8 second

#

so you are getting at most 2 seconds out of it.

lone junco
#

All I want is the 32 sec exang.

#

Big diff.

civic palm
#

Gotta get that 5CP

lone junco
#

Shiiiiit

#

Totally fucks my 2p fish

civic palm
#

I mean this is simple enough to test.

#

I might be wrong but I do not think so.

lone junco
#

I will when I get on next.

#

Yes easy enough.

civic palm
#

Will check real quick.

#

Yeah

#

1cp rupture into 5cp rupture is 28 seconds

#

and 5cp into 5cp is ~31 seconds

dire spoke
#

can't believe my WAs cucked me rn

#

omg

#

but it's not really a loss

civic palm
#

Yeah you cucked yourself there bud

dire spoke
#

env is up an extra second?

civic palm
#

5CP is 6 seconds, SoT max duration is 5 secnds.

dire spoke
#

ah that

tranquil birch
#

Anyway people have already shown here that SoT doesn't buff kb anyway sooo

civic palm
#

Elaborate Planning is also 5 secnods.

tranquil birch
#

just keep env up

dire spoke
#

I mostly finish with 4 so I didn't did anything wrong

tranquil birch
#

you just need more dp applications + tb to buff kb

civic palm
#

Who showed you that?

#

Cuz it's on the whitelist.

#

Even if it's AMR the chances of that being wrong are low.

tranquil birch
#

hmm

civic palm
#

SoT doesn't buff Envenom.

#

Might be the confusion.

tranquil birch
#

I don't know what to think anymore, people brought up the SoT tooltip I think and kb wasn't on the list of effected spells

civic palm
#

SoT used to buff Agonizing Poison, which buffed Envenom.

tranquil birch
#

anyway you can just clip env

civic palm
#

Yeah.

#

If you have the energy and TB up during KB, spamming ENV is 👌

#

You can get 3ENV during TB if you have like 40% crit and 3BB

gilded lark

That's a screenshot. Source?

gilded lark

Wowhead.

tranquil birch

yea that one

civic palm

Yeah gimme the URL.

gilded lark

I just now screenshoted it

#

Just google surge of toxins ffs

civic palm
#

I did, and got the AMR whitelist.

gray citrus
#

yo quick Q rogue homies. is using the crit mastery pants and completing 4 set with gloves instead of pants better?

gilded lark

Yeah because AMR is known for reliability

tranquil birch

I think we just figured out why amr's rogue sims are so wonky

Good.

For gear questions, sim yourself.

civic palm

But can I get that link? You JUST screenied it.

gilded lark
#

Lazy fuck you are yea?

#

Hold on

civic palm

Thanks.

gilded lark
#

Literally the top result when i googled "surge of toxins"

tranquil birch
#

@gray citrus sim the pieces you have if you're not sure and have an awesome pair of off piece pants or something

civic palm
#

and where on that page is that list?

gilded lark
#

Why would i give bad information. Fuck outta here

#

Scroll down?? Lmao

#

Use your eyes?

tranquil birch
#

we've know this for a long time anyway. Kb is nature dmg not poison dmg which is why bracers also don't buff it

civic palm
tranquil birch
#

but tb does because it buffs all our nature dmg

tacit ferry
#

theres an arrow that says See more

civic palm
#

I can't get below the fucking page.

tacit ferry

tranquil birch

It's under the effect section

The option isn't there.

does any1 have the spreadsheet with the relics and where they drop?

so the thing he linked, click the link inside the box under the word wowhead

not the url link

Gyazo in 2018

The URL's are literally the same.

#

The page is different > _>

spare cloud

the hate though

civic palm
#

Nope figured it out

#

The URL's ARE different.

#

spell=192425 vs. spell=192424

#

That's from the correct page.

#

Anyway, 👍

tranquil birch
#

tldr, clip env not surge of toxins lol

civic palm
#

Yeah.

#

Nothing changes there.

#

Just that SoT does not influence KB.

tacit ferry
#

ones listed an npc ability the other is listed as an artifact trait

civic palm
#

Suppose our weapon is an artifact, so it's an NPC?

tacit ferry
#

and the artifact trait one has no effected ability list

#

affected even

civic palm
#

Yep.

tranquil birch
#

😩

tacit ferry
#

so weird

civic palm
#

If I google, surge of toxins whitelist, the wrong wowhead link is the first option for me.

lone junco
#

Well poop. I'll still be able to garrote mut rupture prior. But not going to swipe more than once.

civic palm
#

=\

lone junco
#

Bota is only 10sec. So at 14 or 16, both are not that far apart.

civic palm
#

Now imagine...

#

they change RUP damage back to caring about CP.

lone junco
#

Just lose 2ticks of ns vs 1sec of non ns

civic palm
#

EX will be neato with Haste in BfA 👍

lone junco
#

Harder math for them

#

Hope the can handle.

civic palm
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lone junco
#

Now it is 2sec ticks vs 1sec

civic palm
#

Have faith in Blizzard to do the math.

#

lone junco
#

I don't mind sub cd meta. Just over the dfa.

civic palm
#

Completely.

lone junco
#

I would prefer tbKb alignment

civic palm
#

Yep.

lone junco
#

I ran ep anti tb on argus. Was really cool. Had 10cp for the tb

civic palm
#

Does Dispatch cost NRG during execute? Never played with it earlier.

lone junco
#

Dunno. I was pvp only.

strange summit
#

pretty sure it used to be

#

but it was below half a muti

civic palm
#

Yeah.

lone junco
#

I bet a proper bota fish apl would gain like 3-5%

#

No one cares tho.

dark crag
#

bleeds and poison will scale with haste

civic palm
#

uhhuh

lone junco
#

And wind fury totem will be nice too

civic palm
#

Things are gonna be weeeeiiird.

#

For a little bit.

dark crag
#

what about nightblade?

civic palm
#

Not a bleed or poison.

dark crag
#

noone would use it if it hasn't the +15% dmg mod

civic palm
#

I am actually kinda shocked that the tooltips for the DoTs work on Alpha.

lone junco
#

Well. I have enough random ass gear to make the prepatch fun.

civic palm
#

Your best bet for finding out about Nightblade is finding a rogue that is streaming Alpha and ask nicely.

dark crag
#

i think it is still in

strange python
#

ye, it is

#

latest spell changes

#

if they change the damage, i guess its still in 😄

tranquil birch
#

you guys see the 8.0 haste changes?

lone junco
#

Can you post sin image. My phone is too slow for links

civic palm

SIN image with what exactly?

When I look at tyras char i start drooling

that gear with extending 4ids is pretty crazy

prime void
#

all you have to do is play like 10 hours a day @manic vigil

And then be elistist

manic vigil

just kinda funny how many different layers of players there are don't you think? I'm a super casual compared to most of you guys and there are way more casual layers below me etc

prime void

and boom you're geared

fast nacelle
#

its stupid.. getting tf from hc and shit like 970 arcway ring n shit..

manic vigil
#

kinda fascinating just how big an "eco system" wow is

fast nacelle

who needs mythic anyway

#

Grinding m+ all day and not getting any items

tfw your heroic tier is higher ilvl than some of your mythic

#

It's so dumb.

manic vigil
#

idk mizu. it's kinda hard to enter "your world"

#

a guild on your level would never even look at me

fast nacelle
#

i changed 970 versa mastery boots vs 970 versa mastery speed (hc tf)
i changed 970 crit versa neck vs 980 crit versa neck (hc tf)

manic vigil
#

which makes sense of course

fast nacelle
#

no idea whats wrong ..

prime void
#

3 of us built this guild from absolute shit

#

It took a year, but w/e

manic vigil
#

that's fair

prime void
#

We started with blue and green parsers

#

Like you have to start somewhere

manic vigil
#

just in general, stepping up is tough

prime void
#

What are your logs like ?

spare cloud
#

Was like that for me as well

tranquil birch
#

did people get good or did you just quickly boot shitters for better players?

spare cloud
#

I was in a world 6k guild and got decent logs then joined a world 700 guild

manic vigil
#

logs are alright ... for ilvl of course

prime void
#

WEll we progressed to a point where people were applying

#

Then have slowly faded out players through the year

manic vigil
#

not making method want me but I'm doing okay

prime void
#

Our team only has 4 of the same players from en

#

And like 14 from tos

#

Same officer core since NH tho

#

but using a low tier mythic guild as a stepping stone is really the way

#

It's kind of a dick move when you step up, but it can be necessary

manic vigil
#

yeah I guess

prime void
#

But like we just recruited a kid who was 2/11M with all 99s in heroic- never really mythic raided before

fast nacelle
#

idk wow isnt hard.. i appreciate a young player that isnt that experienced but good at the game.
our tank left at 8/11M and for argus we got a 5/11M tank cause he was young, pushed a lot of m+ and had a good interview

manic vigil
#

I like that. Giving people a chance can pay off for sure

#

can also backfire ofc but yeah

fast nacelle
#

if you are good at games you dont need to be top 30-50 for 10 years

prime void
#

i mean they dont get loot

#

so

fast nacelle
#

easy to catch up

prime void
#

We don't take too big of a "risk"

spare cloud
#

It kinda just happens automatically if you try

#

Like 6k -> 700 -> 50

prime void
#

I feel like getting into top 100 is where it gets a bit tougher

spare cloud
#

but for others its even faster

fast nacelle
#

top 100 means nothing

prime void
#

but theres some shit rogues in top 100

fast nacelle
#

you have top 5 ... then top 10.. .then the rest is mostly defined by time

dire spoke
fast nacelle
#

yes

#

our guild made world 37 on helya with 3 days

#

on longer contents you just lose ranks..

#

no matter how good you are

manic vigil
#

idk, I don't really care about the fame or anything. It's just that always feeling like you have to carry a lot of fail bobs is annoying at times

#

and not playing as much as you'd like.

fast nacelle
#

you have noobs in top 20 guilds aswell

prime void
#

what server are you on uni ?

fast nacelle
#

there are always 3-4 who hold you back

#

in best case you are the one who hold others back

manic vigil
#

proudmoore right now

fast nacelle
#

so you are in a comfortable seat

manic vigil
#

german server, very dead

#

it's where I started in vanilla

#

Oh boy

#

I used to play on forscherliga

fast nacelle
#

#

now look at their roster

spare cloud
#

I still have my first char there

fast nacelle
#

since kill yes

#

yeah

#

but not for aggramar/argus i guess

#

idk if josh helped them for argus though.. but overall

#

they have like 10 players

#

where i could multi acc play on 2 monitors

#

and perform better... so what does rank 18 mean

#

or "top 20"

spare cloud
#

there is always that one guild

#

cough Nihilum cough

fast nacelle
#

future at least delivered

#

its not only one..you have method and exorsus

#

which are completly out of this universe

#

then 3-4 sick guilds..followed by 4-5 top guilds

#

and then it already starts with time investment > personal skill

#

so if you are interested and commited to full time wow

#

you can join a top 20 any time

#

if you arent retarded

spare cloud
#

rip me i guess

midnight latch
#

you are a sweet anyway

top 20 sounds like a hassle lul

all this talk about guilds makes me sad. my 2 day one averages 30 wipes every week on imonar cause people loose their brains every time. also less and less sign ups and we have to bring new people

#

feeeels bad

#

i just want 2day raiding with a solid roster for a full expansion

a friend of mine was in a world 50 guild.. they split up and 3 of their carries came to us and he joined fsy.. now he s world 9

#

cause he likes to maintain 7 chars and is interested... and shines there aswell

#

many players in top 100 guilds could raid way higher... but its mostly about commitment
