I really appreciate your advice, it's so kind of you 😃

vernal adder
#

man Flowi and I are so hyped for BfA

manic vigil
#

Sin compared to affli... Still pondering what that means. Could mean it's shit, could mean it's op

#

Probably is just nonsense tho

viscid helm
#

@gusty kestrel did u do raid testing last night

strange python
#

its melee boomkin

manic vigil
#

How was the raid

#

Fun fun fun

vernal adder
#

raidy

manic vigil
#

Makes sense

#

Sensy

viscid helm
#

1st fight for CT

manic vigil
#

Aoe fiesta?

viscid helm
#

competes with outlaw mong cleave

manic vigil
#

Outlul op POGGERS

viscid helm
manic vigil
#

Such diverse damage

viscid helm
#

we were doing some CC sheinigans

#

idk, so many classes look like this in the breakdown tho

#

BFA btw

#

yeh i've been testing some other classes in the tests

#

it's not any better tho

#

feral was rip,bite,rip,bite

#

since it's so slow

#

yeh i didnt even wanna try sub

#

yeh as a BM, you can do 80% of you're dmg with pet and auto shot

manic vigil
#

But guys, classes always feel slow at the start of an expansion. Are you new? Smh

viscid helm
#

I was actually hoping UH would be playable

#

jk

manic vigil
#

It's not? peepofeels

viscid helm
vernal adder
#

👌

viscid helm
#

nice class

zealous dew
manic vigil
#

So many sources tho POGGERS

#

And all of them owned by melee swing xd

viscid helm
#

yeh if you replace DK's runeforging with the 35% attack speed enchant

#

can prob get to 45% AA dmg

manic vigil
#

Yikes

#

Spaghet SeemsGood

viscid helm
#

🤷

#

3 months to release

#

all classes feel like unfinished

#

all the bosses were dog shit

#

unfinished

#

cant wait

manic vigil
#

It's gonna be fine

vernal adder
#

Cant wait not to play

#

and see the QQ here

#

and troll the new people

echo estuary
#

meh

#

so far flowi holds the most accurate description of BfA

#

flowi for mod please

manic vigil
#

Your mom for mod tbh

vernal adder
#

would cap the mod limit

manic vigil
#

Savage

spare cloud
#

Uni for mod

#

wait nevermind

#

that would be awkward as fuck

manic vigil
#

Agreed

strange python
#

all bosses were dogshit?

spare cloud
#

bosses were fine idk

vestal wren
#

sme classes feel good

#

e.g. wl

#

for bossfights, its hard to say how good/bad they are

steep obsidian
#

ive been doing the dungeons at 120 they are fun and a lot of punishing mechanics

#

doing heroics at like 280 ilvl kinda rough

#

i dunno even if raids arent the best by m+ is the same or better then this expac that is enough for me

#

kinda burnt out on mythic raiding too much drama to deal with

vestal wren
#

i didn't play m+ and only a few dungeons on alpha, but they looked more punishing for melees

steep obsidian
#

hmm yeah i was playing mage

#

and it was rough some of the trash

#

like id constantly get targeted and could barel cast

trail heron
#

maybe more single target, and Kraut Kontrol being needed?

strange python
#

im all for the game being a little more difficult in general

viscid helm
vestal wren
#

most specs seem to not get more difficult

viscid helm
#

every single spec*

#

corrected you there bud

steep obsidian
#

yeah i dont think you will get mass aoe pulls in bfa but then who knows how shit will scale in the end

#

so many pulls have uninterrruptable extremely dangerous casts or abilities

viscid helm
#

idk i think thats just delusional to think

#

that you cant mass pull in BFA dungeons

steep obsidian
#

not for a while

strange python
#

I guess that was vague, I meant the dungeons

steep obsidian
#

you couldnt at start of legion

viscid helm
#

yeh sure going in greens it might have hurt

#

2 weeks later

#

and after that

#

didnt matter

strange python
#

though I started playing halfway through legion, I guess dungeons were hard at the start?

trail heron
#

who knows.....they might finetune it some more

viscid helm
#

no

manic vigil
#

Wearing greens bigWOW

steep obsidian
#

it took quite a while before people could do 15s

#

but 10s werent a big stretech after like a week or 2 of raiding

viscid helm
#

well that logic could be applied to anything

#

i could say it took quite a while before people did 28's

#

🤷

steep obsidian
#

i dunno i just got the feeling they designed dungeons more around m+ this time

#

but maybe i wrong

viscid helm
#

I'm all for it

steep obsidian
#

and i did almost all of them in crappy gear on heroic if you dont undestand the trash it hands you yer butt

viscid helm
#

but knowing blizzard

strange python
#

they should hire you flowi

manic vigil
#

As the PR guy?

trail heron
#

i think a dungeon design of 'less trash, but if you pull 2 packs, it is a pretty guaranteed wipe' that forces CC or piecemeal pulls might be a nice thing again

viscid helm
#

it wont be a thing.

manic vigil
#

Bummer

strange python
#

they're already doing away with massive aoe cc no?

#

hard cc I mean.

steep obsidian
#

i want to see what m+ skips are gonna be a thing on motherlode

#

so much trash

#

so many knockbacks and shit

#

so many really dangerous mobs

trail heron
#

i mean CC used by PLAYERS, not by mobs :p

dense scarab
#

So some of my guildies want to do a high DHT tonight and they want me to do the trick with the 2 bears before the first boss. So my question is how is it done as I've tried it before and failed badly?

manic vigil
strange python
#

you mean pulling the bears separate?

dense scarab
#

You move the bears to the side and the rest of the party move into the boss room and you vanish

jovial kite
#

Or use shroud

#

🤣

manic vigil
dense scarab
#

But when I used evasion i get killed

jovial kite
#

U got ur back against ther bear

#

Cant evade your ass

dense scarab
#

You need to engage the adds for the shield to drop

manic vigil
jovial kite
#

strafe

#

And you wont die

#

but if u just run past theyll rip your asshole

#

thats why you never tank with ur ass exposed, optimally ofc

manic vigil
#

I'm dying here

jovial kite
#

its like

#

Dont drop the soap in jail

#

or if you do dont pick it up

strange python
#

this is the moment you regret asking the rogue discord for advice

#

I've never seen that done before so what can I say

dense scarab
#

Just kids one day they will grow up

jovial kite
#

i answered him though

#

lol

manic vigil
#

Ye

#

Grow up slagg

jovial kite
#

ye

manic vigil
#

Smh

jovial kite
#

i could just say git gud

#

But i actually answered what he did wrong and how to avoid assrape

#

instead i get called a kid

manic vigil
jovial kite
#

🤷

strange python
#

but, I think their swipe is nature damage no?

#

so evasion wouldn't do anything

dense scarab
#

And I know that you should not have your back to the mobs

strange python
#

I thought he was joking 😄 the more you know

jovial kite
#

im a kid

#

leave me be

#

maybe figure out yourself

dense scarab
#

As you don't know that's what I will do

jovial kite
#

oh i know

#

But being an ungrateful lil boi isnt gonna give you answers

dense scarab
#

Thanks to Connor for the swipe might be nature

jovial kite
#

"Might"

#

🤣

supple hearth
#

Tbh I've never seen that done either. We just kill the bears

dense scarab
#

I'm never ungrateful I give credit were it is due

supple hearth
#

There's a million better places to skip adds in dht bears aren't that bad

strange python
dense scarab
#

Thanks that helps out alot

strange python
#

maybe it was an MDI thing

jovial kite
#

probably got kicked for group

supple hearth
#

Maybe

jovial kite
#

1st for a shit strat

#

Then for failing said strat

dense scarab
#

Wouldn't know never been kick maybe that's what happens to you

supple hearth
jovial kite
#

i dont run m+

#

And when i do

#

Its not with plebs

strange python
#

slagg solos every dungeon

jovial kite
#

True

supple hearth
#

M+25 solo ez

jovial kite
#

No biggie 🤷

manic vigil
#

Go clean your pool slagg you little kid

jovial kite
#

Its cleaned dad

manic vigil
supple hearth
#

Go clean it again

jovial kite
#

No

manic vigil
#

Then get my keys it's time for ice cream

supple hearth
#

You missed a spot

spare cloud
#

Oh right

#

how did mdi go

steep obsidian
#

its in the U.S. they are backwards

#

it starts in 30 mins

supple hearth

unlucky

#

can't watch then

manic vigil
#

Why not

#

Kpop festival?

steep obsidian
#

its like 1am in korea cant stay up late

spare cloud
#

Not sure if stupid or just bad joke

steep obsidian
#

can it be both?

strange python
#

@dense scarab okay, I talked to someone to has done it before. You use distract to drop the barrier without breaking stealth, run past them a little, pull them with a knife

#

group runs through and you vanish asap

manic vigil
#

Toph so salty lately

#

Very sad

strange python
#

So you dont** really have to use evasion, or take any damage from them at all

spare cloud
#

Yes

dense scarab
#

@strange python thanks for the info

strange python
#

sorry I missed a word there. You dont have to use evasion

#

since you are just kiting them for a second or two

dense scarab
#

Cool cheers for that

spare cloud
#

@manic vigil REEE

manic vigil
strange python
#

Stupid obnoxious discord previews

surreal lodge
#

hey guys what do i gotta do for a cool poison tag

dire spoke
#

ping Stjern

surreal lodge
#

@fiery flower hey cool guy can i get a cool green color ❤

dire spoke
manic vigil
steep obsidian
#

what a guy

spare cloud
#

maybe I should try that

#

@ Stjern can i get orange color?

surreal lodge
#

yay

spare cloud
#

didn't work FeelsCryMan

strange python
#

you have to earn the orange

supple hearth
#

RIP Toph

spare cloud
#

at least I tried

#

succeed or die trying

#

maybe another despot

#

@ rare can I get orange color?

strange python
#

dont you think

#

CT on beta is busted

#

?

spare cloud
#

.

#

man this doesnt work

#

@surreal lodge how did you do it

steep obsidian
#

i want red colour

#

beep boop boo

spare cloud
#

You need to ping a despot

#

otherwise it doesn't work

strange python
#

CT is pretty good yeah

steep obsidian
#

i should have levelled rogue on beta instead of mage

#

maybe i still will

strange python
#

Busted might be a stretch

spare cloud
#

Man this is unfair

#

everyone except me gets the color he wants

strange python
#

i feel like

#

CT with nightstalker is too strong

steep obsidian
#

interesting

#

I'd always forget to save cp coz im bad to pull off that combo

#

although i guess ns envenom a lot

surreal lodge
#

im pretty hyped shoulders got put as a talent

strange python
#

just pick marked for death ez

steep obsidian
#

its 50% and 3 secs

#

doesnt seem fantastic

surreal lodge
#

shh

#

let me believe

strange python
#

that talent has been deemed horrid

marble hemlock
#

it is known?

steep obsidian
#

sin talents are still a bit whack

#

hopefully they fix some stuff

strange python
#

I don't like how both tb and exsang are not worth it lol

#

And I don't know what they would do to fix it tbh

#

hate choosing between energy regen vs dps stuff

steep obsidian
#

and venom rush does nothing for cleave or if you spec dispatch during execute

#

that whole row is whack and need to be sorta fixed

surreal lodge
#

im soooo hyped to play dispatch again but its on the same tier as poison 🤔

steep obsidian
#

sin seems a bit boring without kb to pay attention to tbh

strange python
#

CT is fun

steep obsidian
#

at least you had to think a litttle bit for that

surreal lodge
#

kb?

strange python
#

kingsbane

surreal lodge
#

🤔

steep obsidian
#

at least blindside gives you something diff to pay attention to and anotehr button

surreal lodge
#

i really like blindside, i loved when we had dispatch during mop

#

but idk i dont feel much attatchment for kb

echo estuary
#

sabod is red now :x

strange python
#

fotm reroller yaboi

echo estuary
#

team white is the best team

strange python
#

i cant find any emote with black guy

#

to post now

steep obsidian
#

i wanted but red like brobot but but got bleed red

#

this is more pink

ripe nimbus
#

Master assassin the talent in BFA might not be as horrid as people think. It's RNG but u could easily open with 4 combo points from a single mutilate on pull. And then RNG vanish an envenom.

#

Sucks that it's RNG but I don't think it's horrid

steep obsidian
#

opening with mutilate 🤔

strange python
#

ive been there

steep obsidian
#

i do that when questoing

strange python
#

it doesnt owrk

steep obsidian
#

coz mobs dont live

ripe nimbus
#

Why would u open with anything else with master assassin talented?

steep obsidian
#

yeh

strange python
#

you could open with shurikens 🤔

steep obsidian
#

nah

#

poison knife

#

i guess epopel will care to sim shit when things are solid and tuned

#

but from my testing that talent seems unwerwhelming as hell

#

they could buff it to 100% without breaking anything or making it op

strange python
#

if it was 100% for 3 seconds would it still be worth it over the others?

#

i guess you took the words from my mouth

steep obsidian
#

i guess youd want to mut tb envenom in the crit window if you had those specced?

#

it might do some ok burst i guess

ripe nimbus
#

If it was 100% u wouldn't use the other talents they could or just made it 100% chance to proc seal fate from first attack outta stealth or some shit

#

It's just RNG now it's not horrid tho

steep obsidian
#

the crimsom tempest ns combo on a big pull with ns seems like a good idea that someone mentioned before

#

when you ahve cp

#

and that would happen every pull in m+ if you were smart

strange python
#

its more than good idea

#

its quite strong

steep obsidian
#

its brokenly op 😛

strange python
#

i wonder which talent in last row will be best for pure st

#

i guess pb lol

steep obsidian
#

hmm

#

well pb is better rng wise

ripe nimbus
#

U shouldn't have to wonder that

steep obsidian
#

and it ticks over 2 secs instead of 3

#

but who knows at this point numbers wise it just all feelycraft

#

so pointless

strange python
#

yeah pb got nerfed slightly

#

but still seems like the best option

steep obsidian
#

i thought they tuned crimson tempest in a recent build too

strange python
#

it got gutted

#

pb damage is too low

#

CT damage on 1 target doesnt shine either

ripe nimbus
#

It's still higher then weaving in a hidden blades for ST

#

And ct won't be used ST

steep obsidian
#

i heard that gear is locked in m+ currently on beta is that right?

#

or is someone just talking crap

strange python
#

330

steep obsidian
#

not scaling i mean

#

you cant change gear

plain thistle
#

wtf boys

#

the same dude got a 100k above tyra on immonar too 🤔

#

6.6M antoran, every log on 05/may , fucking hell

dusky fulcrum
#

Hello, i'm a mythic raider that recently resubbed after a long hiatus and decided to reroll a rogue and just dinged 110, what specc should i start out with? (I aim to clear mythic antorus and get some m+20 before bfa launch) also sorry if this is wrong thread to ask this, im quite new to discord.

strange python
#

poison bomb 4% on live

#

jk

supple hearth
#

@dusky fulcrum probably not likely to clear mythic antorus in 3 months if youre just now starting out on that character. its possible but not very likely. IF that is your goal though you probably want to go assassination

strange python
#

assassination most popular raiding spec by far

dusky fulcrum
#

i checked warcraftlogs and saw assa is high on antorus but barely any seen on mythic+ ladder, does it still preform well in m+?
I'm going to first clear antorus with my guild on my warlock that i played before the hiatus, we're currently 9/11 so basically when my rogue is ready to pull his own weight i'll get it done on him aswell. no boosting. basically want to make it my (now alt, in bfa main) and i want it to carry itself forward

supple hearth
#

sub is best for m+

drifting crypt
#

you can always clear antorus for a small fee of about 7M gold 😏

dusky fulcrum
#

i got the mates to get it done for sure, but i want my rogue to actually do its part and not get boosted by others

supple hearth
#

If youre going to main rogue in BFA you're going to be playing all the specs so I'd just look at it from that perspective. Youre only limiting yourself if you choose a specific spec

dusky fulcrum
#

i will for sure play atleast 2 speccs, but seeing as you have (2?) fast legendaries i'd like to aim for a "tricks of trade" specc first

supple hearth
#

well i mean if youre farming them you can be getting ~3 legendaries every 2 weeks from essences alone

dusky fulcrum
#

i saw that sub is somewhat competetive in antorus but really strong in m+, so i was leaning towards that

drifting crypt
#

sub really laggs behind assa on most bosses in antorus

dusky fulcrum
#

That's true, but before i get the bis leggos etc what specc would be enough to carry itself aslong as it has a high enough ilvl?

#

im told the "sub boots" era is over for most speccs, is that true?

supple hearth
#

all three are about the same when it comes to needing legendaries. Youre not going to be doing very nice dps without a nice legendary set up regardless of ilvl.

dusky fulcrum
#

alright, is the 2 legendary thingie for all 3 speccs btw?

supple hearth
#

like i said if you just want to do raids go sin. if you want to focus on m+ go sub. if you want to do both you need to really be looking at playing both and not just one.

dusky fulcrum
#

so like after i get my first 2 from drops (not essences) i swap loot specc to 1 of the other 2 to get faster legendaries?

supple hearth
#

first 2 regardless of spec are higher % drop but still rng. the spec swap depends on what legendaries you get. if your first two are sin ONLY legendaries and you swap then you have a decent chance at getting a sub one quick. if you get a rogue wide legendary it resets all specs

dusky fulcrum
#

ah alright

supple hearth
#

but the third legendary regardless is going to take longer than the first two

drifting crypt
#

essences is your main source for legendaries

supple hearth
#

^

dusky fulcrum
#

ye i know that exo xD

#

im a min-maxer at heart, sorry

supple hearth
#

assuming you're min-maxing I would aim for getting the 3 every 2 weeks

dusky fulcrum
#

ye for sure!

supple hearth
#

that requires youre doing RBGs and rated pvp too though

drifting crypt
#

i recently started a feral druid, and about 3 out of 9 legos are from drops

dusky fulcrum
#

i dont think i can do rbgs, but for sure can grind the 1500 honor in arenas

supple hearth
#

RBGs is quicker than arena imo just need 2 wins

#

if youre going for honor cap in both 2s and 3s its going to take a couple hours each week

dusky fulcrum
#

my last rogue PVP exp was 2k on warmane's tbc server, which is totally different to live rogues. so i am nowhere close to beeing decent in legion just yet

supple hearth
#

RBGs can be done in like 20m

dusky fulcrum
#

oh just 2 wins?

drifting crypt
#

"if" you win ^^

dusky fulcrum
#

might try that then

supple hearth
#

🤷 just dont lose lol

drifting crypt
#

😄

dusky fulcrum
#

i havent unlocked my assa weapons yet tho, i got a random dh invite me and boosted me from 107 to 110 xD

#

gotta get that and then i have all 3

#

i guess farming relic wq's is prio 1

supple hearth
#

thats if youre farming leggendaries lol if youre not willing to do the pvp then you dont want the lgendaries bad enough. IF hes really trying to get cutting edge in the next 3 months thats what hes going to need to do to min-max

#

assuming hes not getting carried

dusky fulcrum
#

I never accept carry in actual lategame content, boosting lvls is fine imo 😛

#

since game is based around max lvl

supple hearth
#

@steep obsidian thats really dumb btw if you can't swap gear in m+ on beta

#

hopefully thats not a thing

steep obsidian
#

i havent done any myself giggle

drifting crypt
#

they disabled m+ in beta atm

steep obsidian
#

i probably will next week

#

or when they open again

#

ahhh ok

#

it was probably something someone saw on stream

#

one of my friends mentioned it

drifting crypt
#

i havent done any myself, but they removed the keystone socket in mythic dungeons

#

since you only got 300 gear from m+

steep obsidian
#

yeah makes sense

#

they might tune stuff a little bit before worrying about proper focused + testing

#

although they doing raids

plain thistle
#

did they fixed zuldazar starting questline? or you still cant get the neck on beta right now?

drifting crypt
#

idk, are you playing maghar orc?

plain thistle
#

nah, testing a hunter troll

#

quest doesnt pop for me

steep obsidian
#

my toon has the neck but can't upgrade it with the next part of the campaign

#

so i cant get enough ap to actually unlock traits on my good azurite piece

#

a lot of stuff is bugged as hell dunno if recreating fixes it all

drifting crypt
#

the funny thing is, on mythic azerite armor you cant select any traits, they just require "0"

#

and the heroic pieces all require 16-20 or some shit

#

who is gonna farm so much on beta?

plain thistle
#

not fixed 😦

#

at least I already did that quest on my rogue, but I really dont want to play rogue on beta right now

steep obsidian
#

yeah i sorta felt the same

#

im not sure if ill even bother to level another toon

#

i got a rogue to 115 before they wiped everything

dusky fulcrum
#

i feel so ashamed that i got bfa beta invite 3 days after resubbing

#

i dont even know what is "new" since i've not played since 7.2

sand whale
#

I suggest you not play live to save yourself all the disappointment

dusky fulcrum
#

current patch is worse than 7.2 you mean or?

sand whale
#

nah because your rogue will feel better on live until bfa comes out 😉 I'd just play bfa

dusky fulcrum
#

oh, so its worse in bfa? 😮

sand whale
#

less engaging I guess

#

not really worse

dusky fulcrum
#

isnt the new neck system the same thing as artifacts?

strange python
#

the neck is an artifact, and it gets artifact power, but it's not like legion artifacts

teal coral
#

Hello was wondering if any1 could make me a weakaura for just rupture cant seem to get it right

steep obsidian
#

check out the pins gulladin or wago.io

strange python
#

there are lots of weakauras on wago.io and some in the pins

teal coral
#

okey thanks will have a look

steep obsidian
#

best thing to do is just import one and fiddle

#

you will see how the basic ones work

strange python
zealous dew
#

lul

#

do you even envenom bro

steep obsidian
#

he hacked in a poison bomb button

strange python
#

he had bfa poison bom ytho

#

yeah

#

it deals barely 220dmg per hit

vapid moth
#

question

#

is the lock shitting me when he gets a 940 gnawed and says he needs it but he is already using sephuz and a 960 ring

sand whale
#

depends how bad his 2nd ring is that's not a leggo

strange python
#

check his 2nd ring

vapid moth
#

yes it could very possibly have the worst stats for locks. but its 960. he already left the group

#

time to check armory

sand whale
#

there's few ocassions you don't run any leggo rings as a lock

#

so chances are he has a really shit ring somewhere

strange python
#

very few

vapid moth
#

versatility and mastery 960 ring

#

so yeah

#

he is shitting me

#

fucking cunt

strange python
#

mastery haste / mastery crit is better for lock

#

but yeah probably

vapid moth
#

but its 960. so i think the ilvl outweighs the stats

#

either way that 940 gnawed woulda replaced my 940 mastery vers

strange python
#

ur talking about that arcway ring right?

vapid moth
#

yeah

#

im annoyed

strange python
#

why would you want it on rigue

#

rogue*

vapid moth
#

its crit and mastery

#

plus the damage buff

strange python
#

eh

#

its probably minimal difference on sims

#

mastery vers is still good

vapid moth
#

crit is like 15 points above vers

#

and makes playing easier the higher it is

strange python
#

are you playing sub or sin

vapid moth
#

sin lol that explains the disconnect

#

dont listen to the blue name

strange python
#

damn i thought u were playing sub

#

got confused

#

either way

#

that ring is far better for lock than it is for sin

#

so i can see why he kept it

marble hemlock
#

wtf is all that blue in my assa chan?

strange python
#

our channel ded 😦

#

dont mind me

plain thistle
#

in your ass?

warm parcel
#

Interesting to see d3 like meta come out of mdi

marble hemlock
#

all the sub rogues deserting again

#

Like perma eye beam and fire mage do remind me of d3 ways

#

cant wait for triple monk setup

#

unless they changed the rules?

#

was wondering if someone could post stat weights cant find them anywhere 😦 not sure where to look

idk why you think thats funny

viscid helm
#

BFA is 💩

strange python
#

well thats pretty funny

#

considering no class tuning has been made

#

and most numbers for most classes are not official

#

and most of them will change

#

so every spec is fine, because it can just be tuned

#

there will be changes to the numbers no doubt

viscid helm
#

#ConsoleGame

strange python
#

so simming anything right now is pretty irrelevant

viscid helm
#

It's not irrelevant at all

#

blizzard implemented a execute talent

strange python
#

well he said he read sims for blindside

viscid helm
#

that is an DPS loss vs not picking it

strange python
#

so its about numbers am i wrong

viscid helm

There's no fixing bfa

damn you must have beeen doing almost no dps then xaethron

if its too low for a +2

vapid moth
#

it wasnt me though

#

the lock came third

strange python
#

all im saying that simming right now is pitty because the numbers might change

vapid moth
#

and died like 10 times

#

he was a solid half our deaths

strange python
#

and what looks like shit on sim right now may be our go-to talent when bfa is released

exotic glen
#

then we can praise the ability when its not shit

#

but that isnt the situation right now

strange python
#

well its beta for a reason

#

right

viscid helm
#

So what u are saying is that TC'ing rn is pointless

strange python
#

beta is to test stuff and tell them if its shit or not

viscid helm
#

how clueless are you

#

who do you think provides blizzard with the data?

strange python

i havent said anything about TC

you said simming is useless

Hey guys. Just a quick question. Does the poison build have a Mastery cap? I'm at 199% now, Stat Weights still puts it slightly ahead of crit even though i only got 23%.

dire spoke
#

No

shell canopy
#

So, just stack more Mastery as long as my stat weights tell me to?

#

And Top Gear sim.

dire spoke
#

The build gets easier to play on higher ilvl due to mutilate crits and >30% crit stat

#

Assuming you wear mantle already, it's the reason your crit is dumped

shell canopy
#

Yea, Mantle+Bracers

dire spoke
#

there you go

novel island
#

Go go mastery, at my max I had like 223%

sand whale
#

there's a point where crit edges out if you only have mastery/vers off pieces but not by much but in practice I've found it much more enjoyable with more crit at the cost of some mastery

shell canopy
#

Alright. Thanks guys!

exotic glen
#

@dusty hull just answering here since you cant discuss things in-depth in that other channel

#

people use sub in mdi because its consistent burst aoe and those teams are playing into the strengths of sub by pulling extra mobs on the boss to abuse shuriken storm > finisher for big dick ST dps

#

since you cant abuse sub like this in raids, sin pulls ahead

strange python
#

l o l

dusty hull
#

I can get behind the idea of Sin -> long fights, Sub -> short fights because ondemand burst is really nice, and DoTs are best when they can tick forever, but where is the cut when mobs live long enough in M+ for Sin to be better ?

exotic glen
#

what have i done

#

i can accept that

#

@dusty hull you cant really pack it in like that, you have to realise that rogues m+ dps is kinda limited because we dont have consistent trash aoe like monks

safe matrix
#

just use more poison bombs looooooooooooool 4Head

strange python
#

use CT lul

#

i know

exotic glen
#

so the strengths of both specs are

sub: big ST dps if your team can help you abuse the finishers and on a one-time use aoe cd

sin: big ST dps with more potential aoe dps than sub if you get lucky

strange python
#

ct would be cool on live

dusty hull

I am just trying to find the right spec for the remaining few months so I can feel good going into BfA since I am doubtful of Blizzard's RNG getting any more favorable towards players joining late

its really not important in terms of dmg

help . how to optimized dmg in m+

#

any guide ?

dusty hull
#

Quick question about the builds. I am sure legendaries need some working around, but since I have none shrug. I am guessing the Bleed Build from the Pins is optimized for high end raiding, whereas Poison builds are more/equal at lower i lvls, or how close are the two builds ?

whole dew
#

poison build

safe matrix
#

bleed build is much harder to gear for

#

poison build has a lower average dps, but not by much at like 980 ilvl

#

but it can do better

#

cause poison bomb swings it more

#

for m+ don't even think of bleed build

dusty hull
#

okay, thanks 😄 (i was secretly looking for a reason to play poison build because i like it more)

whole dew
#

only use shoulder and bracer ( zoldyck)

safe matrix
#

for legendaries just do mantle/bracers

#

and its easier to gear for

whole dew
#

yeah but for example on bigpulls how to optimized burst dmge

sand whale
#

you don't lol

#

you can equip aoe trinket IF you really want burst

#

just pray pb procs

#

that's about it

whole dew
#

uhmmm for example what trinket ? i only use Shadow-Singed Fang and Golganneth's Vitality

#

😰

marble hemlock
#

keep those unless you happen to have a very high ilvl engine of eradication or a mastery statstick

whole dew
#

stats: crit 28%, haste 4% , mastery 223% , versa 12%

marble hemlock
#

statprio for trash-dps is mastery>versa>crit>agi>haste

#

so you got pretty good stats

sand whale
#

this may not be what you want to hear but

#

if you're after burst

#

play sub

marble hemlock
#

just try to maintain high envenom/virulent poisons uptimes while rupturing enough to be able to use abiltiies every gcd without running out of energy

hollow plover
#

what is the name poison bomb add on write th chat

marble hemlock
#

that in itself is decent enough aoe, if you get a bombproc or two you can keep up with some of the good aoe classes

sand whale
#

if you end up using aoe trinkets you're gonna gimp your overall aoe anyway so you might as well just pray for pb

marble hemlock
#

theres no way youre ever going to beat a monk or bumkin tho

sand whale
#

but if you use aoe trinkets on low keys sure that'll work

whole dew
#

but if i use this trinket , mastery upgrade to 238%

marble hemlock
#

yeah, run that over ssf

#

always forgetting about nexus because i never get one 😦

prime void
#

28% crit

#

Gross

whole dew
#

yeah

marble hemlock
#

im running 20% crit for aoe, 40% for singletarget

#

crit is heavily devalued in an aoe setting since youre capping energy all the time anyway, atleast on bigger packs

prime void
#

I play 52% crit lol

#

I really only raid tho so w/e

marble hemlock
#

so yeah, your gear is looking good, maybe get another vers/mastery ring instead of the kingaroth one, and just pay attention to your buff uptimes

whole dew
#

Ssf and golganeth for ST . ; nexo + golganeth for aoe

marble hemlock
#

youre never going to be able to pull crazy numbers on aoe

#

but thats not your job anyway, so yeah

#

id generally suggest playing mantle+boots for singletarget

#

so youre not locked into delaying vendetta just so it lines up with the execute

#

or even move away from mantle entirely so you can use vanish on trash instead of bosses

#

how viable these options are depends heavily on your non-legendary pieces

#

but with that gear you can easily do 20+ keys

whole dew
#

ty vm

mossy hazel
#

So simming leggos, is it legit to just play what's higher dps with those?

#

I've been running wrist shoulder, but I just simmed wrist boots and it's a decent bit higher

#

But I'm SCARED of not having my shoulder buff I've had it so long. Lol...

whole dew
#

high crit for ST / only raid and low crit + more mastery + more versa for aoe

gusty plinth
#

so mantle+boots for st and mantle+wrists for aoe?

lone junco
#

@marble hemlock I really hope they push a penalty for large pulls in bfa m+. 5mobs is our avg prob. And the stun chains that allow 20x are silly.

#

But with anything they do, will be ways to cheese it.

shrewd night
#

Going back to the TBC days in terms of threat would do wonders for that very problem

#

That a BDK can grip everything, gtfo and still keep aggro after 20 seconds is banjo

stark heart
#

What's the problem of big pulls?

stuck pine
#

nerds

steep obsidian
#

@lone junco part of that is the mobs just blindly chasing someone who is 40 yards away instead of doing other things i think they worked on the ai to not do that, trash in bfa dung seems to have a lot of dangerous abilities that work together too lots of self buffs and things interacting with other things or the environment to kill you

#

it feels like they designed more with m+ in mind this time but the way scaling works we porbalby will still see big pulls at some point

to simplify that pool energy more you are spamming your buttons that isnt how sin plays most of the time

#

you are just spamming away all your energy when there is no point to

open reef
#

Hello, already got beta. Whats Your feelings about Assa in bfa so far?

humble crane
#

Outlaw currently feels way better

open reef
#

Hmm its due to stats scale?

sharp viper
#

both feel insanely slow but i only tried it at 110 and shit stats

green plume
#

From a M+ point of view im interested to see how strong having nightstalker/mfd/crimson tempest on the start of every pack will play out

viscid helm
#

Nightstalker hardly adds anything to that combo

green plume
#

I see, I thought the damage would snapshot on crimson tempest, or are you saying the damage is too low on that ability for +50% to matter?

viscid helm
#

CT has an intial hit

#

so in AoE you would just spam fok and CT

#

the Nightstalker snapshot isnt strong enough to beat just spamming fok and CT

safe matrix
#

What's the cd on CT or does it not have one

viscid helm
#

it doesnt have cd

green plume
#

that's a good point, I hadn't thought of that

safe matrix
#

Would the bleed snapshot though? Or just the initial hit?

green plume
#

my thinking was nightstalker buff the CT, then put rupture a few targets and then refresh CT at the end of the 12 seconds

#

I just tested it, looks like the bleed snapshots

#

let me double check

viscid helm
#

I dont actually know, i'd assume only the intial hit

safe matrix
#

Like let's say they change numbers, reduce the initial hit by a lot

viscid helm
#

would use the Nightstalker

safe matrix
#

It would be interesting to see the interaction

viscid helm
#

it could just treat it as 1 spell

green plume
#

ticking for 270, 400 if i use it from stealth

viscid helm
#

intial hit + bleed

green plume
#

so it is snapshotting currently

safe matrix
#

Well there we go

green plume
#

I like it with elaborate planning too

safe matrix
#

Elaborate planning seems fantastic with AoE

green plume
#

too early to say right now - since sub is missing 2 talents, but i might just jump on the sin train for m+ in bfa 😄

viscid helm
#

doubt there is anything that can fix sub at this point

green plume
#

im hopeful that dfa will be made baseline (or a variant of it) and the two new talents offer something competetive

safe matrix
#

Yeah, no single spell. It's gonna take atleast a couple changes to make sub fun

marble hemlock
#

problem is that theres nothing else you can spend your CP on that would be better for aoe than just spamming CT

#

so the ns+ct snapshot doesnt really matter

green plume
#

you reckon spreading a few ruptures out at the wouldn't be worth it?

safe matrix
#

I mean to be fair, numbers can be changed

green plume
#

at the start*

viscid helm
#

well rn

#

the intial hit is 1/3 of the bleed

#

to make NS CT worth

#

they would literally need to remove the intial hit

marble hemlock
#

obviously numnbers can be changed, but as it stands right now, theres no opportunity cost to spamming CT

#

sure, you could rupture a few mobs instead, but thats not going to be even close to competitive dps-wise to just spamming CT, atleast in aoe situations with like 5+ mobs

safe matrix
#

But at some point the initial hit would hit less than a rupture

#

So you snapshot ct and start multidotting

viscid helm
#

that would be 3 targets

#

at 4

#

u spam CT

marble hemlock
#

now, im not exactly sure on how energy regen looks like in aoe situations on beta right now, so having a few ruptures for energy sustain might be necessary to optimize aoe dps

viscid helm
#

obviously again assuming the rupture ticks

#

and the mobs dont die to fast

marble hemlock
#

well, comparing rupture to anything id always consider it to be a 5cp rupture ticking full duration, and the player has to decide whether that is actually going to be the case

#

but as you said, the pack doesnt have to be incredibly large for CT to be the sole finisher youll be using

#

not with the numbers being tuned like they are right now

viscid helm
#

envenom over CT is only worth at 2 targets rn

#

well maybe 3 ish

marble hemlock
#

they could remove part of the initial hit and just move that into the dot

viscid helm
#

you do get the buff

marble hemlock
#

but im not exactly sure if that would be a good thing

viscid helm
#

perhaps

marble hemlock
#

it would feel better

#

but it would most likely lead to lower aoe dps

viscid helm
#

yup

#

since there is no PB

#

spamming envenom to single enemy on AoE pull

marble hemlock
#

say what you will, but the current aoe playstyle is a lot more fun than just spamming fok, fok, ct, fok fok, ct

safe matrix
#

I mean as little as it is, the dot scales with haste and I don't think the initial hit scales with anything

#

Except agi

marble hemlock
#

vers, agi

#

not sure if the ap scaling on the dot and initial hit are the same

#

but yes, there might be a point where the dot part gets boosted by secondaries enough to be better than the initial hit

#

but again

#

what else are you going to spend your CP on?

#

if the dot becomes stronger, nothing changes

safe matrix
#

They could sort out the problem by adding a much higher agi scaling to the dot

marble hemlock
#

its not about the CT dot

safe matrix
#

That way it's solid for levelinhg

marble hemlock
#

you get that either way

#

theyd have to significantly buff envenom/rupture

#

so we want to incorporate it into our aoe rotation between CT uses

#

as in, we just maintain CT dot and multi-rupture

#

changing the CT dot would not lead to any of that

#

it would just make it feel even worse

#

to constantly refresh the ct dot pre-pandemic

#

(assuming it pandemics in the first place)

viscid helm
#

it does

marble hemlock
#

so yeah

#

as it stands right now, wed be spamming fok and ct for aoe, with nothing else weaved in there

#

pop vendetta on a high prio target and melee it while we spam those 2 spells

safe matrix
#

I forgot about melees

marble hemlock
#

and maybe, just maybe, put a rupture on it aswell

safe matrix
#

And how hard they're hitting right now
