She a spoiled brat, too?
I nap in my car at work.

its hybrid, so i just leave it running. climate and music make for a sweet nap pod
pvp is a minigame for casuals
I did that yesterday at the horse show Noobe

none of the oranges work in pvp. they are just ilvl i believe
i mean, world gank but other than taht
no idea if this should be asking in #385145484559253506 or not but should be aiming for 100% uptime on envemon during kingsbane or
Idk why I bother with LFR. I was just trying for essences and was top dps at 1.4 (I sim for 1.7 and didnt use any consumables obvi), next was a mage who was talking crap who did 930K. Inspected the mage talking crap to me and he was 956.......looked at wcl, all grey logs. Rest of the group was mostly 500K or less with some doing 200K...I just left. Wasn't even worth staying for
Just lfr things
@vernal rain sure. ENV lets you stack poisons. SoT gives it a little extra damage. so if you keep your env up your sot will be up (mostly)
@hoary copper I used lFR for orange farm, but after i got capped, rip
I know it. Just made me laugh 956 frost mage couldnt even do 1m and bragged about 1.2
meh.
Feels bad man
Yea I dont have boots yet, only other one I kinda want
what sucks, is doing LFR on hpal, and no one is doing over 800k
extreme 😦
at least on my rogue someone is over 2m
thats why I queue as healer on my 965 ww
to help raid dps
faster que has nothing to do with it 🤡
lol i have like 18pts in ret.
1 healer was at 400K, the warrior tank was 2nd and there was a priest or something in 3rd with like 300K
400k for LFR healer...is real nice tbh
Yea its hard going back to dps after fast heal queues
only 925 but want to do a +16? sure
Considering the other 4 healers were 400K or less tho, there was a lot to be healed especially p4.
btw I got my 4p on pally Noobe, didnt see 12m flash heals, got a few 4m+ tho
I track the 4p buff
then dont flash unless shock buff
and if you want lols. you tyr wings shock flash.
I use that in M+ for the BOV split
(at first i thought Tyr was just a group hot, but it multiples your flash/hl)
you can get 3 or 4 4pbuffs in a row. and it is funny
@lone junco have you watched the preach fresh account series?
8m 8m 8m 8m
hmm. Yea I have a WA I made for the 4p too
no
my guy is 947 ish.
i watched preach back in WoD a bit just a few times a year for beta preview stuff
I don’t really watch his stuff
But this series is amazing
He makes a fresh account to analyze the new player experience
I think the Fresh Account series is great. Not perfect, still has some strong bias, but overall it does illustrate some issues with new accounts/retention, as well as gearing paths, difficulty, etc
I saw the first episode and i was like
If i started playing id probably stop instantly
I think Preach tends to be biased toward casual-scorn, which gives me some pause. But he definitely has visibility, which is good.
The issue isn't that new players can catch up quickly--that's overall a good thing. The issue is that they can arbitrarily end up with a high ilvl (which means nothing if it's not the right pieces!) and that makes veteran players mad. It's not really fair to them--doesn't reward their time invested/engagement metric.
Which goes back to what I've been saying since day 1 of legion:
- The ilvl gaps between difficulties, and between tiers, is far too high. They should be severely crunched.
- Nothing to should wf/tf above mythic baseline ilvl, and mythic items shouldn't have a high wf/tf potential.
Its not Id be jealous of random ass guy getting high ilvl
They get ilvl and "access" to places they have no fucking clue what to do in
They cant even do 500k dps
Well, the other issue is that it upsets balance
I boosted a Rogue a week ago and playing Assassination but I have some questions, can someone explain to me why exactly do we use this opener in the guides? why not vendetta before Garrote and Rupture? and why do we use Toxic Blade before Kingsbane in the opener? (I have the lego shoulders btw)
@warm parcel ilvl gating in general is a bad system/idea.
Also because you gain energy from vendetta which would be wasted otherwise
It emphasizes gear (which anybody can buy their way into) versus skill.
but guides say taht TB should be used with the final 9 seconds of KB
No
It says
Either on cd or at the end of kb
Currently most people use it on cd
In general I thought the implementation of proving grounds was good, but the execution was poor. Good idea, needed further refinement.
If your tb gets off cooldown after you used kb alreasy then you delay for 9 seconds
Weak, just like the mage I talked about earlier. He had a 985 helm and couldnt dps worth poop but he could do heroic. He grey parsed but he got through it.
Again, ilvl is not the answer
Its just an unrewarding system
It's not an indicator of anything except the gear equipped. Doesn't indicate how they got it, doesn't indicate anything about their play.
@keen inlet totaly agree regarding tier gaps being too high. just comparing it to wotlk for example
Achievements--same problem
Last week I got a wa for the 4p t21, can I control it like I did SoT...for example goal was to have 100% uptime on sot so I would re apply when it was falling off. Basically is the new wa necessary?
What
Well I go back to BC Ran
you could gear up in Kara (relatively "casual" content) and that gear held you competitively to BT, more or less
okay thanks all
Yeah that's why I'm asking
well @keen inlet this could be an example of going too far the other side 😃
The other issue that isn't brought up in the same discussion (but is often brought up in a separate discussion) is cross-realm raiding and pugs.
Without having a "reptutation" on your server as a good player, there's no way to filter anymore except by ilvl.
5cp env is the same duration as 5cp env. so with anti you can get 100% env 100% 2p uptime
weak messed with that for a while.
Whats wrong with trackign the tier
@keen inlet you gonna make me sound like a fanboy but those are exactly the thing I complain about ^^
Nothing i just dont see how it influences gameplay
tracking 4p doesnt mean anything to me though
Thats why im asking
cause I play around it
play around 2p right not 4?
So keep my sot wa? Lol
Can we move this to general
4 doesnt mean anything to me
this is sin stuff. thx Stormp
ISNT 4p “everytine a poison crits you get energy”
Yes

He's talking about 2p
He said 4pc
He did say 4p
@quiet junco hey bud did you mean the energy procs or the 6second buff from envenom?
Yea, someone told me to change my sot wa to the new tier
Id like to know how weak plays around 4pc
Yes
He meant the 2p
Fam
@warm parcel did you see my sim yesterday where >=3cp rupture was a gain.
I never said 2p 4p
But he said 4p
It wasn't a yes/no question rip but yeah he's talking about the 2p
rup on 3 is gain I know
🤔 
Lol so should I track it and apply 3cp rupture when up?
No
True
I just assumed you meant 4pc because i asked "why would you track 4pc" or was your response to someone else?
Weak
He asked about aura named virulent poisons


I just base my finisher behaviour based on the tier
And not like apl and strictly spam away
And refreshing dots etc



meh I can barely keep envenom or EP (or SoT if you are not speced into it)...why would I track 2p aswell if I can't possibly play to benfit from it
specced into sot?


sin too hard man
that stuff is 95% to 99% parse jump.
if you arent orange already, dont fuck with 2p21
bigger fish to fry
like dont rupture during TB 👌
No but it can change env timings during tb for example
lets say rup has 6 left
I don't even track it 
Which is good to know
anti makes Env and 2p match at 5cp.
I can do that when rup has 2 left
ye.
and not miss out on uptime
80 mutcrit is bae

shh

Wtf
If only it was enough to clear antorus
35% crit peasentery
I fell to sub 30 thanks to the 980 dogs neck
its a bit troll. one of those was 3cp. but still felt good.
Bork Bark
=3cp env for entire fight is only 0.2% loss for me. so 1 in the opener with vendetta nibbler prob isnt that bad.

.2% too big
Sneezing while raiding is a bigger deal than that tbh
If you spray it all over the monitor it gets even worse 
Yeah we have a burper as well
I fucking hate that
mic burpers deserve death
I love it
He does it on purpose
Ban that guy
stupid shoulders
Death threatening me
exang is pure. simple.
better watch out
Sometimes it happens and i cant mute myself in time
use push to talk?
I'm done looking at your fake evidence noobe 
left Alt
No
And we use p2t
I use alt for stuff
He does it on purpose
just dont get to jump and push to talk at the same time

i jump with X
use caps lock
is it called tab target if you use space bar
sure
seems suspect
Does zempai click target to click abilities?
Mans a prodigy
helps if you dont have a left hand
Nah he doesnt even fully click
Noobe is special 
thanks
Like he uses some keybinds

DO YOU GUYS EVEN WATCH HIS STREAM
No
You all flame him but dont even know what he does
Flame?
Now thats a real dick move
Like a true American
I've said multiple times I envy his ability to click like that

No flame at all
Yeah well
Stop being an angry German
Im angry at you
You're angry at everything
Because you hide from me
then i wind up clicking /guild bank instead of something else
I'll give you a cuddle if it helps
Someone has to play the angry german

You have a train?
Public transport 🤢
Wow
Wait
Also costs less
thought you were korean or something
So when I go to the beer festival next year
I can save money and stay at your house?
Great
Nah he's just a nerd noobe
No
Wait dude
C'mon toph have a heart
Your in a Train in Munich? So am i 🤔
Which one are you in
You'll have a delightful drunk brit every evening
Fährst du S-Bahn? Oder wirklich Zug?
S

Fuck no im going into hiding
Hahaha
Diving to Main Station
Meet me there Baby 😍
Yes zempai made one
Nah
But not all german rogues are there yet
I dont know anyone irl that plays wow
Feels weird
Why
I met my girlfriend in wow lul
Only one i know is my ex gf
So if I were to bail Us. Should I go EU or AUS?
Eu
To live.
We just had a cringy guild meet up one day
Calling friends cunts
Year and a bit later we still together 🤷
Mine dumped me out of the blue
Probs for someone with more dps
Almost took my life
Canada rocks as well, agreed
Was fun
Didnt have enough orange parses
👌
Oh now i feel bad
Sorry :/
''OMFG There's 11 bosses and you only have 8 oranges parses? How undedicated must you be. Bring me a new rogue. you go to the fucking bench cunt'' 
Do you want a boyfriend? 😏
No
Lmfao
Was a rough time - but im kinda over it so im gucci
Hope so mate
Im scared that somebody spots me irl now
Sucks but it always gets better
Like a picture from behind with discord open
Yea.. i guess time really helps
Suddenly posted
I really need a good guide for sin
We have one fam
Pins
on ravenholdt right? :))

I'm on my phone and I managed to get it easy enough
Well toph if you see a nerdy underweight guy with discord open you better run
I gotchu fam
anyone know if there is a small 3boss zone coming out before prepatch?
Ok
or we dead content till aug
Wont be suspicious if i suddenly start fleeing
Pretty sure it's dead content till Aug
For mizuxe is dead content until raid day
825 pulls later
Log in, dailies, raid, m+, log off
They made up their mind to keep the release of prepatch even tho Alpha is a complete mess
@manic vigil we say the word mythic and 4 people log off
Lol
Why though
because its not worth.
prob could do first with 18
Hc
Id argue felhounds are easier than argus as well
its the safe space rng around the wall. or chain.
6-7 melee
we are ok with chain now, its just save space rng that gets us at wall tbh.
thank god im rogue and just cloak anything hard
Yeh
i died once, and got 3 /t. "did you feint"
Carrynoobe
cause I tell dead peole they should have just feint it
Karma that

dat coven
Not being a rogue must suck
ye
I'm more worried about the other people in there tbh
I cant Imagine Argus M as another class
Rupture op tho
Imonar progress yesterday everyone died before second bridge. I made it to boss and kept dpsing for a while
escort* ?
Just rogue things
Ah sorry
immonar 2018?
Yeah we are fresh mythic raiders
this isn't how this fight works 
Just started don't even have a proper roster etc
you can't just cloak you still get stacks
Uni when do you raid
Maybe we need to start putting/s at the end of everything
Wed and sun
Fuck

And Fr sat with my old casual noobs
Well I did
Oh boy
And then do what?
well if Kalxoxo did it, I NEED to do it aswell
i took class off to sleep
I'd go home and play vidya gaymes
Sleep is good shit
all worth it
I approve
and probably sleep
Someone in my Train has no valid ticket - drama Baby 🙈
I need sleep
Why didn't you sleep last night 
🔫 
ive been no added sugar for 4 days now. my coffee tastes like trash
No sugar in cofee?
Nah
in US we put sugar on our sugar.
Kek
that and ranch.
Should I buy farcry 5 or Nioh?
i would by a nap
🤔 very good idea
nioh
I just wanna die
100%
whats the add order on kingaroth normal
normal has 2 per
KG normal real tough shit mane 
also it has insane replayability
who is this hacker named 4chan
alac bis in bfa?
Weak is your mage frost exclusively?
I like watching you play it, makes me wanna play mage as well
Idk my aff lock annoys me on st
Bloody turret shit
Mage might be better tho in that regard
I like my mage, but I suck at it. Fire mage feels pretty good, more so in aoe
I love hunter
Mm is so fun on aoe lol
And mm on alpha is probably the best spec
Improvements wise
steady shot
You can actually plan movement
I like anytime I dont have to use pets
I like pets sometimes
They’re so clunky
But they are also visually rewarding
Seeing dire beasts fly to your target and stomp them is dope
Then watching them get stuck
Having to resummon the pet on argus is p 
I forgot which dungeon it was (vault I think?) where my demon always got stuck
oh yea I can imagine
I forgot to reapply beacons with hpal if tank dies
Hey, quick question - why does icy veins list Master Assassin as 5th best and also als 18th best relic ? where is the difference in saying "its 5th best for 1st or 3rd relic" and "18th best for 2nd"?
i also couldnt find information on this in sims 😦
shoulders and vendetta dont play nice at 6/7
has to do with fixed vanish timing, and cooldown reduction of vendetta
yeah, the 2nd vendetta ends, just before vanish is ready. so then you hold vanish for like 50 sec


Fuck german trains
Allways to late so i now have to wait another 90 Minutes because i missed the follow up


Get in the train
travelling long distances with train 
ein apfelstrudel bitte
Big Fan
I just opened 955 eye of serpentix
and my 920 mastery trinket is better on raidbots
wtf is going on
Feels Kalxoxk man
mit saure sahne
On a serious Rogue manner
Got a 985 Ma relic while pushin m+ - 3rd Trait is fok trait
Nice
Can i now use fok to go from 4cp - 5cp?
920 mastery stat stick with socket is pretty good actually @rough fossil
Serpentrix is not
@fallow estuary with 5 traits you can do it from 3 to 4
Memento is an alright trinket
It’s not great
But it’s not terrible
Angerboda is just aids cuz if you get haste on pull you’re like 
Haste ftw

Only for mantle derpies

Raging cuz it’s true
I haven't parsed in a while
But jhonwei is fine without mantle
So there is that
He's better than you so

Nah
Tyra 
Crazy
Yeah
Right
I only sim 50k lower too
not kamikaza?

Kami isn’t a rogue thankfully
He got a rank one yday
But PRIVATE LOGGING BTW
lul
they outparse by default cus korean
Nice yellow name you nobody @gusty kestrel
💪 btw
so how come kami is not applying to method yet
so besides doing garrote and rupture every 20s and in the meantime spam envenom is there anything else to rotation?
play 8 days a week? lol nah
@uneven topaz SIN GUIDE HERE--> http://www.ravenholdt.net/assassination-guide/ <--SIN GUIDE HERE
is there anything else to rotation?
Fucking Asians

Racist Tom please ban
I could be in a much better guild and he’s better than me
Guy legit picked up brew tanking in less than a week for argus lol
Had like 20 traits
Got to 75 and mastered the spec
He’s one of the best players I’ve ever played with
I really cba playing more than 3 days tho
That's because you insist on having a social life you normie
3days is way plenty
and capped oranges and tier and bags and bags full of offspec helps
easier to offspec than alt
I think Tom legit hates me now
I'm just dicking around because I'm bored
I love how easy tank mage tower is with gear, did blood dk a couple months ago, and because of my gear I forced my dps on the first phase and that infernal didnt even spawned, without that add, the challenge isnt a challenge at all 😂
Not even Jose


I have 7 different cmonbruhs

These aren’t banned
But the one that shalt not be named is

#justicforiwin
he's banned
He’s gone
He's such an edgy idiot
who?
Why tho
I like him tbh
Same
But he just can't help being an idiot
Oh well
He didn’t cast evasion
To dodge the hits from giggle
Or misdirect p
To avoid getting aggro
he did use vanish tho
Risk reward for being edgy is not in favor.
guess they were trolling too much
Deserved imo
wut happened to flowi
flowi isn't gone
😄
and weak
Xaethr
n

What's that supposed to mean Tom 
@hoary copper dw bruno I did think of you but I’m the only appeal you have to come here let’s not kid ourselves
Pocket gay
Pocket gay is the best thing someone has ever called me
you can if you'd like
it's low quality
literally 2mins in paint/pixlr to transparent-ize it
I like it
Aesthetic LUL compilation
hypermegaultraomegagodlul is an interesting one
i couldn't even make out a face

😄

You can see the eyes and the teeth
looks like an angry vagina
Some people are really creative with their emojis
I applaud it
I should join the lock disco
Heard they have good ones
I liked the emoji till it was called a vagina...gross

22 tyrannical medivh
Ouch
dies in like 45s
Bwhaha
dang watching that video
the stamina dragonslayer have spamming buttons like that, gotta be rough
i have no idea what setup they're using
Christ
need to wear sunglasses at work so they dont see me roll my eyes at them when they speak
That burst is insane
jimmy used shoulder though
Probably tos build yeah
and other one used cloak 🤔
For the big sick burst
shoulder gets meta back for worm after but doesn't help dps on medivh
so idk 😄
can see jimmy's trinkets at top left of screen actually
one haste stick and one crit stick
@turbid harbor dear god

How the hell did he do that much damage in that clip woah
I dont play DH, but the shoulders and anger ring say fury. doesnt tank use hate? and does it flip when you respec, or are they legit garbage for tank
@royal wraith it's TR
and double meta is a pretty strong burst
970 tos tier which was all about burst
TR?
Tourney realm
tournament realm
Is there something different about that realm?
means, they hand pick all the gear they want
^
Did you kick me from poe discord Tom? Rude
yeah
So it's just a super op build
Because you are hilarious
@royal wraith double dh just has a strong burn in the first 30sec.
It's your server so it's your rules all good
you can talk to me here
I got kicked from wewlad for posting a gnarly pic of a spider.
jeed h8 spiders
But it's still 10mil dps at one point @lone junco
So when I'm not nice it's too much?
@gusty kestrel we dont know yet
it's not gonna be him streaming
wait for brackets
they will probably face each other as least once
that fight lasted more than 10s, he did 260M ish damage
ye
not only 60m
I stand by that comment regarding iWin btw. He pushed and pushed on purpose so I'd call it justified
and I stand by mine, I wouldnt wanna be in a discord filled with people I consider idiots
if you're gonna do that be consistent
That makes no sense. Just call it what it is, you're offended that I said something you didn't like about your friend
Fine by me
why doesnt it make sense
why do you wanna be in a discord with people you dont like
isnt that counter productive
it's not the first time you've done this either
Nice that you get to decide who I like and who I don't like
you can get an invite back if you want, think if you wanna be there tho
lmao
wait lemme
find the quote
Isn't that why it gets purged here
@plain thistle i guess that Old war chaos blades is really strong.
but man, thats nutty
I could watch that vid like 10 more times.
i watched it a good few 😄
I bet i could get a good rip out of old war for my 40s st
Which one are we talking about? The twitch clip? I'm at work and can't watch anything rn
ended at like 7m and 8m single
"I guess that old war chaos blades is really strong"
It's been the same thing since NH
LOL
hey guys is kil'jaedens burning wish a decent lego for m+ on subby?
my dh is just geared off the Greater rifts, but have hat bracer.
big secret
700k ish. peaks at like 2mi guess
more crit
i geared him during ToV when rogue was shit.
then we got NH and it ramped. then ToS gods. now 4p21 is really nice.
I would prob enjoy the meme beam for M+ though
I think I misjudged dh completely. All the mobility and the apparently spammy game play might be just what I like 
Rogues: fast agile fighters!
wait no
MONKS! Fast agile fighters!
wait no we'll get it this time
DEMON HUNTERS! FAST AGILE FIGHTERS
feral cat: ????
and DH is a reasonable offspec.
Furry agile fighter
Maybe 3 xpacs from now I'll finally un-salt myself over dh
with battlrez
Dh no brez
I feel like Darkness is why they robbed us of smokebomb
Oh
I keed.
i can prob make this work.
good theme at least
my prob, is I can only play one fucking toon. cant be all willy nilly with alts.
they need to be good in raid and M+
Specifically for bfa
Why only one toon?
i would like offspec gear to be useful.
anyway. I stress over role at xpac every time. and you never know what will be meta until a few months in.
Idk you are good on your rogue. Probably won't get any better. Might as well bench him and play something else for now
without tier bonuses alting will be that much easier
ive benched rogue for now except highest keys
Playing alts can make you a better player imo
@lone junco that's how I was until this expansion. It's easier to PvP with alts because the gear requirements aren't as strict as with pve. I do all the quests and achieves and everything on my rogue then skip all the uneccessary crap on the alts
playing hpal and lvling a lock.
isn't this hands-down the worst xpac for pvp progression tho
Im too old to play 6 nights. and wife would fillet my member
doesn't matter about gear, but prestiege etc
Are you sure the neck thing won't be a problem in bfa don
Anyone willing to ping me their list of addons they use for their rogue, as well as weak auras and the like??? Pleas and THANK YOU. Old pro rogue trying to get back into the serious stuff (yes I know it'll be hard/impossible atm)
So I want a main with both Raid and M+ viability.
DM me
@manic vigil on alpha I'm progressing steadily on it tbh
did they remove the pvp template for bfa?
I haven't checked actually
I was all over the place from bc to LK, then played hpal only for wod. and rogue only for legion. keeps me sane
fomo on the warlock right now.
but doubt id want to raid one full time
Well I hope alts will be easier in bfa. We shall see
I doubt. Tier was really good for offspecs
Nearly useless as rogue
@keen inlet I think the PvP is fun. Early legion was very very awful. And it always is when they change the meta on a weekly basis. But s3/4 until now has been okay
Not that I care a lot
And people are always going to complain about pvp
id rather do M+ than pvp these days. getting stun fucked in pvp is not the fun im looking for
You're a rogue....u do the stunning
need a healer that enjoys being stunned
I had about 3k games in wod. prob rusty now.
M+ is fun too but I don't have a regular group like I used to so rip
most fun i had was turb on enh.
Just do a weekly 15 on alts now
arena just gets people mad.
I try not to play with people who are like....over the top hardcore serious about PvP. It's not fun when people get like that
I'd rather play with good players who like to win but are chill and level headed
And can admit mistakes
most fun i had was hpal surv in wod. we could chain stun/trap a healer for infinity
Instead of trying to blame literally everything else
with about a 3 sec gap
just pull their dps behind a pillar, hpal runs out. trap.
hoj
trap
hoj
yay
arcane torrent.
kick
trap
anyway,. 1 toon.
stresses me out.
would have been a shit show if Sin hadnt gotten the Mut buff after nsdp
cause then outlaw/sub and sin would be shit
the one time i try to play pirate on mythic
the pantheon proc does 3% of my dmg
i blame my raid
pahtetic
How many had trinket?
i tried a few different bosses. Garothi held strong until after 2nd hand. was 2.2m then slumped to 1.9
and so much 111111111111
i had some fun as rtb outlul on aggramar (re)progress
