round harbor
#

The estimate is you will be getting 600ish currency a week

obsidian sierra
#

Yes fok trait is eb

primal gazelle
#

800 ish if you do 15-17 keys every week

vestal wren
#

you will just buy the random ones and scrap it if its useless

round harbor
#

@primal gazelle yeah but your talking to a small group

obsidian sierra
#

You need eb to be on par with other classes on aoe

round harbor
#

For most people it's 600ish

vestal wren
#

the loot pool is to low to even consider buying the specific one and the price far to high

civic palm
#

Yeah.

vestal wren
#

and the chance that you got at least good traits with the 2 ring system now is also high

civic palm
#

Yeah.

round harbor
#

Yeah.

civic palm
#

Not at least doing Normal is madness.

#

Even if it is to just get the added rings.

round harbor
#

I mean it's mandatory

#

Double trait is mongo co m pared to mythic gear we have atm

obsidian sierra
#

Yeah another trait is way better than 15 ilvl tbh

jolly trout
#

I hope so much some of the azerite gear in the new raid will drop for me first id

tough lantern
#

Will 385 random azerite have the double traits too?

jolly trout
#

yeah all gear you get in season 2

tough lantern
#

Fuck me

fringe narwhal
#

I think anything above a certain ilvl either 370 or 385 that isnt from uldir

jolly trout
#

also the emissary ones should have it

mint creek
#

which one u would prefer for M+, AoT + 2 SS / EB + 2SS ?

hollow stone
#

Eb clear winner

fringe narwhal
#

Eb personally

mint creek
#

oka i think i need to try it

tough lantern
#

Ye EB 2SS

mint creek
#

i also have 3x Heed my Call on me but dont know if they stack, just assumed that they will 😛 do they ? should i get a guttriper in ?

jolly trout
#

curious if we run 3 SS and 3 EB with the new system if possible. seems kinda bonkers if i think about it tbh

primal gazelle
#

its possible

#

only the chest drops from raid, so youll have to rng the other 2 slots for 3 ss 3 eb

jolly trout
#

but depends if the combination is available from the dungeon gear

primal gazelle
#

it is available

jolly trout
#

ah ok i didn't look on ptr what combos there are ao the dungeon gear

obsidian sierra
#

Theres a sticky somewhere

#

Spreadsheet

#

For all dungeon piece

primal gazelle
#

there was a nice website that showed all new combos

#

lost the link 😦

#

like you could filter by traits and it shows which piece had it

civic palm
obsidian sierra
#

Also what i think to get max chance on good azerite first week is do pvp chest, do mythic chest for residium, do m0, do raid, save 3 worldq with azerite on wednesday if possible

#

Emissary i mean

#

Also not sure what piece is in rotation for pvp cap in first week might also be an azerite

#

So there are many chances

jolly trout
#

jeah you want that new azerite gear for sure the additional trait is so powerful

#

and m0 drops 370 in season 2 so thats a really good base

obsidian sierra
#

But not sure how many hoa lvl required for example 385 piece with 2 rings

#

I slacked with lvling im just 36 in 1 bar

solid nova
jolly trout
#

ok im 40 just now so im fine i think

obsidian sierra
#

How are the trinket in new raid? Havent even looked at them

#

Since uldir trinket were totally bs i just used harlans and spyglass

jolly trout
#

they look interesting tbh. not sure how good that Oscillating Reactor will be but the mechanic seems interesting at least

civic palm
obsidian sierra
#

I mean the trinket from taloc also reads pretty simple and good but just never procced

jolly trout
obsidian sierra
#

Dont know it never procs for me

#

Like harlans proccing forever

#

Talocs maybe once in 2 mins

#

This is my experience

primal gazelle
#

oh nice, there's 2 m+ shoulder pieces with SS/EB + Unstable Flames. I guess that's the first slot I'm buying random azerites for

verbal nimbus
#

need logs from both right NOW

primal gazelle
#

2/6 chances of geting bis instead of 1/6

spice surge
#

Well, if you're aiming for raid progress you should prob buy chest rather than shoulders

#

As bis shoulders drop from 3:rd boss, and bis helm from 1:st

primal gazelle
#

im optimizing for m+

spice surge
#

But for m+ yes

primal gazelle
#

ss/eb chest drops from the 5th boss i think

jolly trout
#

jeah the good shit for the raid drops so early it is insane

obsidian sierra
#

The chest is from jaina i guess @primal gazelle

primal gazelle
#

i wonder if itll be worth sacrificing some SS or EB, for SOB, just to have triple stack of unstable flames

#

jaina drop shoulders, chest is from conclave

obsidian sierra
#

I would say you can sacrifice 1 ss

#

For mplus eb might be better

primal gazelle
#

with 3 ss 3 ss combo you only get 1 unstable flames

obsidian sierra
#

Will be a lot chainpulls you wont get restealth as much as now

civic palm
#

Yeah but why would you 3xSS > _> when you have other options.

obsidian sierra
#

Thats why i say you can go 2 ss 1 scent instead 3 ss

#

And 3 eb anyway mandatory

jolly trout
#

jeah you want that 3 eb for sure so much trash you have to do

civic palm
#

Nah.

spice surge
#

Ill probably run 2x deadshot, 1 ace, 1 wits and 2 tc

civic palm
#

LOOK HERE ELEEM THE SUPPOSED SUB ROGUE

verbal nimbus
#

stupid sub rogues

spice surge
#

I am a master of deception

verbal nimbus
#

GET EM OUT

civic palm
#

Yeah

#

point

spice surge
#

👈

verbal nimbus
primal gazelle
#

someone should update annoucements to include traits from pvp

solid nova
#

as the other 2 are there as well

round harbor
#

I'm going 2 ace 2 ds 1 wits 1 barrage

civic palm
#

Get yer outlaw shits outta here ya little fuckers 👉 👈 👉 👈

spice surge
#

Harder to get, and i dont actually think outlaw will see much play in the raid

#

Unless you're a diehard outlawboi

civic palm
#

Nah there's not enough targets in Battle IIRC.,

languid ore
#

Outlaw #1 ???

civic palm
#

Phattest asses.

#

To warm the bench.

languid ore
#

Uff

jolly trout
#

assa overlords

languid ore
#

Damn. Did I make a mistake switching to ass

jolly trout
#

but seriously i like the bfa outlaw more than the legion one, but still this gambling tho

languid ore
#

It's seriously not that bad

buoyant coyote
#

YEET

#

he is down

#

are rogues good at the orb running ghuun M; ?

languid ore
#

It only blows when you don't get crit. So 80% of the time it blows but that 20%... The dream

buoyant coyote
#

I'v never had that job before

spice sorrel
#

Did I miss something? Unstable flames never simmed that high for me

spice surge
#

Tbh outlaw is fine as long as there is aoe for wits, then it doesnt matter what you roll

#

But on pure st its bleh

#

Unstable is good for aoe, not ST

spice sorrel
#

Oh. Better than heed?

jolly trout
#

thats true but i like it when i use my shit and it does what it is supposed to do and i don't have ti use it again because it sucked the first time

spice surge
#

Heed is basicly singletarget, so yeah

#

The cleave from heed is 3 yards, which very rarely hits multiple targets

spice sorrel
#

I guess outside of gorefiends that's true

languid ore
#

How many of the new fights have cleave over st

#

I haven't been keeping up. Working 16 hr days

buoyant coyote
#

Bois i need tips

languid ore
#

Just the tips

buoyant coyote
#

So...Do rogue run orbs on Ghuun M

languid ore
#

There are better options, no?

wary ice
#

I know sub can solo I think Outlaw can too

#

its definitely harder than say warrior

buoyant coyote
#

Just wondering

#

im running on third grp 😮

round harbor
#

Ok?

#

Rogue isn't the best and isn't the worst runner

#

Sin is the worst of the three specs as far as mobility but it still fine to grab orb, Sprint to gate then back to boss

wary ice
#

If you got time just yourube it; theres probably a 30s clip somewhere that shows the run in its entirety

round harbor
#

There is nothing to know

#

Run to spot. Click orb. Run to spot 2. Click extra action button. Run back to boss

wary ice
#

aint sayin ur wrong; I am saying I've done enough runs with dropped orbs to say if you're not confident in it; look it up

royal lantern
#

solo orb as sub is not hard

#

get a mousover sstep macro and just go gate>step>step>vanish>sstrike and you are done

primal gazelle
#

😮 its possible to get 2 of each SS/SOB/EB with triple unstable flames

buoyant coyote
#

@round harbor yea im just gonna grab and run and throw it seems

primal gazelle
#

sadly 2 of the pieces come from pvp 😦

wary ice
#

glbright

buoyant coyote
#

time to wipe on ghuun for rest of the week until new raid is out

royal lantern
#

im sad

#

no more ghuunies in m+

#

they where cute

wary ice
#

Is sob looking to be BIS for raid next tier week?

buoyant coyote
#

idk check the gear that drops

round harbor
#

My gm was nice and decided to just do 7/8 this week and save our braincells for next week

buoyant coyote
#

we just wanna try it

proud compass
#

Do we already know how good/bad trinkets in bod will be?

round harbor
#

Have you killed it before?

buoyant coyote
#

nah

#

first time

round harbor
#

Yeah kinda wasting your time

#

And energy

buoyant coyote
#

XD

#

well we can atlest try and say we tried

royal lantern
#

ghuun is not really fun too progress

wary ice
#

I'm not going to try, but still say i did

#

🤷

royal lantern
#

its a somewhat interesting fight yeha, but you spend the first 100 pulls waiting that your orb groups finaly get it done

#

for everyone else the fight at this point is boring as hell cus they just do the ussual raid fight ´´hit stuff, dont stand in aoe's´´

unborn mist
#

Ghuun prog is the type of fight where you learn to hate specific people in your guild for messing up super simple mechanics or not using their mics

royal lantern
#

that was maiden

#

maiden made me hate all the other 19 people in the raid so much

primal gazelle
#

was it as fun as augur prog? 😄

unborn mist
#

Well, that just means your guild is bad tbh. There are dungeon bosses harder than her. 🤷

royal lantern
#

the fuck im talking? i mean that titan bitch in ToS

#

idk the name, they all look the same

hollow lynx
#

Maiden

royal lantern
#

yeha maiden

#

fk maiden

unborn mist
#

ohhhhh, Maiden.

hollow lynx
#

IRNO ORB RIGHT REEEEEEEEE

#

Because following a call out and a weak aura is hard.

royal lantern
#

´´time too play some wow´´ HERE IS THE GUIARTAR HERO MINIGAME!!!!!

hollow lynx
#

"Through the fire and flames"

unborn mist
#

"And then the your DK got greedyyyyy and hit the wrooooong orrb! And now there's bombs all over raid. Next you're dying on the floorrrrrr. Dun dun dun duuuuuun"

royal lantern
#

always the dk lol

buoyant coyote
#

this fight is fun pepegiggle

austere wadi
#

Hello, I'm trying to help a fellow guildy out with some log reviews(haven't helped with melee logs in a while) and noticed he had particularly high miss%28-30% in comparison to other sin rogues around 15-20% is there an aspect to this that is due to being a dual wielder/melee in general? I checked the miss break down and none of it was parried. Is he standing in front of a boss and just being dodged or is this a part of being a dual wielding class?

arctic harness
#

Is there somewhere you can read how to play with Elaborate planning?

buoyant coyote
arctic harness
#

I did

#

It's not in the guide

buoyant coyote
#

what exacly is the question then

#

more specfic

austere wadi
#

Mine Brightlight?

#

Oh nvm

arctic harness
#

When you're in your normal rotation, do you try to keep it up as muchn as possible (so spend <4 CP finishers), do you try and chain 2 finishers together or do you just finish whenever you can and ignore its there

buoyant coyote
#

I only spam Env inside EB if i have the energy to keep envenom up

civic palm
#

Just make sure EP is up during your burst windows.

arctic harness
#

Which is just during Vendetta, or during TB also?

civic palm
#

Yep.

#

or during the times when the boss takes extra damage.

#

From mechanics or w/e.

buoyant coyote
#

mostly

#

I try to have TB inside EB and thats mostly it

arctic harness
#

What's EB?

buoyant coyote
#

EP
*

arctic harness
#

Ah ok, cool, thanks.

buoyant coyote
#

Im enjoying this beatinb ghuun is giving ez

gray crest
#

for M ghuun should i be running blindside for the execute?

civic palm
#

No

strange python
#

Are they buffing shrouded suffocation or just changing the tooltip in BOD?

inner pecan
#

tooltip only

mint creek
#

i have 28crit, 11 haste, 38 mastey atm with 3 sockets + enchants still being on haste, shall i swap to mastery or crit for m+?

fallow cypress
#

I mean i guess it would depend on your group composition and your role in the group?

mint creek
#

there is always a DH dps with me and other is mage/boom/lock, i do usually 15s so have time to build dmg on mobs on most case

fallow cypress
#

pretty low haste for single-target, and it seems you're going all out for aoe - so your groups have to make up time by pulling big and doing huge aoe dps, especially on tyrannical weeks

#

It really just depends on what you want, if you want big pull aoe dps...keep swapping shit out for crit/mast - or try to balance it out...i think it just comes out to preference and composition mostly

gilded crest
#

are there any sims for zandalaris

runic maple

agil sims last for me atm, wtf

Hi, got a quick question guys. Is there an easy way to see in the logs of vectis, who applied the infection by slacking with 6+ stacks during the cast of contagion ?

leaden seal
#

Does damage snapshotting work on target dummies

outer ruin
#

I've been pretty frustrated by my lack of M+ dps in 12-14 dungeons. I've been following Dratnos's guides for assassination, but my numbers are never anywhere near his in his videos. I'm a pretty fresh character without access to a bunch of azerite traits that most have, but was wondering if folks could give me a look over for anything glaringly off.

leaden seal
#

Message your io

odd hatch
#

wait dratnos? Like tichondrius guy?

#

he is a youtuber? who knew

fresh coyote
#

Is there an m+ guide anywhere

round harbor
#

If you don't have access to the same azerite and arnt doing the same level of keys or pulls as he/they are doing then it's silly to try and compare

hazy pebble
#

whats better DD vs SS in Uldir?

civic palm
#

hmmm

round harbor
#

They have different uses

civic palm
#

Fight length matters a tremendous amount.

shell wind
#

bit of a stupid question, but how does using an empowered garrote interact with the bit left of a non-empowered one? do i get a full length empowered one or a mix or what?

#

i worded this poorly, is it intelligible at all? lmao

civic palm
#

You get what you cast most recently.

shell wind
#

cool, so i don't need to worry about weird interactions with pandemic

#

thank you

echo night
#

why do i not see assass rogues go 3x SS if its so good?

#

in M+ that is

civic palm
#

Because there are better options.

echo night
#

such as?

civic palm
#

and there are plenty that did at one point.

#

But atm EB or even 1 Scent probably leads to better damage.

echo night
#

but is 3x SS not good anymore or is it still top tier trait comp?

marble hemlock
#

getting SS helmet is nigh impossible

#

you had to get lucky with weekly chest, or buy one (which isnt worth seeing how the new raid comes out soon)

echo night
#

i got 390 SS helm shoulders and chest ?

marble hemlock
#

well, lucky you

echo night
#

would u run 3x SS Selia?

marble hemlock
#

only 385 piece you can get with SS is chest, from fetid

#

somewhat achievable shoulders are 370 emissary ones, but ive met plenty of people who just didnt get them for months, myself included

#

depends on the dungeon

#

you can never go wrong with 3xSS

#

but in dungeons where you pull huge, like freehold or ML, id prefer 2EB+1SS

echo night
#

gotta check the azerite pieces i got and how they will be with the new rings

#

omg

#

the shrine head has EB and SS

#

omg 0.o so does the shoulders from FH

#

haha, gonna have 1x DD 2x EB 3x SS

#

guess im pretty much set for next M+ season 😄

#

just need to get the Waycrest chest now then ill have 3x EB 3x SS

marble hemlock
#

old pieces wont gain the new ring

#

only items dropped after new raid hits do

#

All epic Azerite armor of item level 370 or higher, obtained from Battle of Dazar’alor, world quest emissaries, Season 2 dungeons, or Season 2 PvP, will have a fifth outer ring with additional spec-specific traits.

echo night
#

wow blizz

#

just wow

#

i quit wow

civic palm
#

okbai

echo night
#

thats the sadest fucking news ive seen, " here farm your brains out toget good azerites pieces, oh nvm, we're coming with new ones, another round of farming your brains out"

civic palm
#

yeah your brains out for titanforged tier oh nvm here's more tier?

#

_>

echo night
#

i mean, ill be farming the exact same pieces i already have...

#

whats the use?

civic palm
#

Bigger numbers...

rose perch
#

I would 3xSS in Tyrannical KR and ToS probably, but yeah few have access to 390/375 SS helmet

muted jacinth
#

high end m+ sin players will use triple shrouded. thats including 360 helm 375 shoulders and fetid chest. ive seen that and just 375 / 390 chest SS and archive helm

#

or echos in there as well

dark crag
#

Does that mean uldir won't get the new ring?

civic palm
#

That is literally what it says.

dark crag
#

I wish i could read

ripe raptor
#

is there anyone on that can help me with mythic raid problem, i am parsing complete trash in mythic. Just went into mythic progression and am doing not even green, like i need help here

untold current
#

I mean, is that really true tho, that EB + scented is better than triple SS? I find that hard to believe

#

Maybe for alot of pad dmg, but killing prio targets and boss i dont see EB + scent being better

civic palm
#

There are no real priority targets, and you're always gonna want 1 SS.

untold current
#

Really?

#

I'm not a super duper pusher but infested counts as prio, and I can think of most instances with prio dmg

muted jacinth
#

havent seen musclebrah or a shine use scrnt

civic palm
#

Infested die so fast that they basically don't count.

#

There's nothing with so much health that you would be Vendetta+Vanish+Garroting them.

untold current
#

Shrouded has more use than pairing with vendetta and vanish

#

You go into almost every pull in stealth

civic palm
elder gulch
#

will 370 double traits be more valuable than 385 1 trait?

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

unless its super shitty traits

elder gulch
#

ty for the quick response! 😃

celest swan
#

@marble hemlock what u think is the go to trait setup for M+ with 6 Traits?

civic palm
#
# Tier 1/2

1-2x Shrouded Suffocation: Too much DMG and energy regen to setup for the rest of the pull

1-3x Echoing Blades: Value increases if you can guarantee bigger pulls and you have High Crit (35%+)

2-3x Scent of Blood: Best value appears between small and large pulls, especially when things live for the entire duration or Rupture

1x Nothing Personal: Misunderstood value from Energy Generation to facilitate more CP generation and Damage from Fan of Knives/Echoing Blades

Twist the Knife/Double Dose: Not AWFUL as you have 6 traits to fill and you need to kill bosses (same idea as not dropping ALL Haste)

It's important to note just how fucking much Agility you get from Scent of Blood (156 per trait @ 400, 468AGI per Rupture @ 400, 5 Ruptures equals +2340AGI)
- - - - -
# Tier 3

Overwhelming Power / Unstable Flames / Heed My Call
gilded fossil
#

whats a good % EB ona fight 80-85%?

#

uptime srry

main blaze
#

I'd probably shift away from EB and use 1-3xSS since it has a lot more value in ST. I'd only ever go EB if I knew for 100% certain that we were doing massive pulls..

civic palm
#

Yeah there's a balance there just as there is now between using CT and PBOMB.

main blaze
#

EB has some nice numbers just unfortunate that it has no ST value

#

mmhm

civic palm
#

M+ is still something like 75% trash.

main blaze
#

Well depends on the week. Since high m+ tyran weeks you can spend around 15-20m just doing bosses.

civic palm
#

Yep, things will move around week to week and dungeon to dungeon if you wanna be picky.

primal gazelle
#

every dungeon is a EB dungeon with reaping

civic palm
#

Correct, group comp. will bring some issues as well, but not much.

primal gazelle
#

id shoot for 2 ss 2 eb 2 sob with triple stack unstable flames

bleak spoke
#

if eb dmg actually scaled off of sob would be nuts

primal gazelle
#

you can get 3 ss 3 eb but you would only have 1 unstable flames

civic palm
#

and that's butt primaries

#

so w/e

celest swan
#

thanks for the inside, so 3x SoB and 1x SS ist our baseline basicly?

civic palm
#

2-3 Scent probably

primal gazelle
#

your overall dps is gonna look really low if you dont run any EB

bleak spoke
#

Seems like at least one SS and any combo of eb sob or ss will be strong with maybe outside value in np

celest swan
#

ok 1x SS und 2x SoB the last 3 traits are a mix of SS/SoB/EB/NP depending on week/comb/personal rpeferances i guess?

primal gazelle
#

simply bc you wont do enough damage to reaping packs with SOB or SS

civic palm
#

I do think that 2 SS is a trap and not worth it.

bleak spoke
#

But in a way after a certain point reaping dmg is pad

civic palm
#

Still needs to die.

#

and the faster the better.

primal gazelle
#

ya, depends if you care about dmg meters

#

(which most ppl do)

bleak spoke
#

Okay like my point is if the reaping stuff dies in the same blade dance no matter what

celest swan
#

but on the other side, i heard outlaw will be go to m+ spec fpr rogue, thoughts on that?

bleak spoke
#

Time wise

civic palm
#

Sure if the time the reaping mobs are alive is tiny, doesn't matter.

bleak spoke
#

Like it feels like if the reaping mobs die in one windwalker or dh or frost mage or whatever cycle

#

Regardless of traits

primal gazelle
#

or outlaw rogue

bleak spoke
#

Yeh

#

Outlaw and assa might be the play

#

In the same dungeon I mean

#

Like there’s reaping but the rest of the dungeon still matters a lot

celest swan
#

well sry to ask here, but cause @civic palm gave such a nice explaniation for assa, what is probably go-to for outlaw?

bleak spoke
#

And triple shrouded is fkn nuts

#

For st

celest swan
#

1x KyWay 3x Deadshot

primal gazelle
#

i hope you realize without infested, 2-3 pulls at a time will be the norm

bleak spoke
#

Yeah but assa still juiced on big pulls

primal gazelle
#

which will make EB shine

civic palm
#

@celest swan Probably ask in #outlaw they seem high on WITS though.

bleak spoke
#

feels like triple eb and 1 ss + any of ss and scent will be worth to me

#

depending on whether you need pack damage or boss dmg

primal gazelle
#

or play outlaw 😛

bleak spoke
#

piracy is wrong

primal gazelle
#

Coordinated groups will be able to handle reaping better, but for the groups with lower IO, restealth before reaping is going to be hard, makes your SS traits worthless

rugged torrent
#

Do we still use low CP ruptures if its down like we did in MoP / WoD?

#

Unsure since Venomous wounds appears to have been reworked

outer ruin
#

ravenholdt doesn't mention racials as part of its guide, raid or uldir. I almost primarily M+, and the people showing top tier clears are all orcs. Is that just due to pvp value? or is there benefit from me going BE -> Orc?

ruby idol
#

Almost everyone at high io ranks is be

fresh coyote
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
outer ruin
#

@ruby idol so you say stay BE? I guess I'm watching dratnos and 2 other sin streamers. all are orcs and I'm sitting around head scratching

golden relic
#

Dnt need to care about racials

ruby idol
#

All 9 of the top 9 rogues are BE. Only 2 of the top 20 are not BE. Theyre not BE for arbitrary reasons, ie they probably just like the race they are because the gains are extremely minimal. BUT if you are min maxing, 1% crit and torrent are the best horde racials.

vestal wren
#

that partly roots in blizz race balancing, be was op in legion and its still one of the best races in the game.
blizz for some reason insists to balance races propper (i assume the main reason is $)

golden relic
#

Theres always going to be something that is better in X scenario anyway , I find it hard to think that there would ever be a scenario where X racial is the same as Y racial but just slightly different, like if there were 2 BE racials atm , 1 silence 1 dispel, both would be beneficial, but in the end 1 would still be more worth

ruby idol
#

If they wanted money they wouldnt have left BE with bis m+ racials

golden relic
#

but id love to see them acctually do something with racials that are older , rework them abit

ruby idol
#

They would have gutted torrent and made sonething new strong af

vestal wren
#

its a bit absud with bloodelf tbh, they know AT was a issue and they did not change it for entirety of legion.
now they changed it with bfa to a dispell and add a lot of dispellable targets that needs to be dispelled to the game

#

coincidence?

ruby idol
#

Ya its just negligence

grizzled jay
#

You're giving them too much credit. They are out of touch and incompetent.

golden relic
#

I just think its ashame that they dont make more racials like BE, a utility, like warstomp is shit in comparsion

ruby idol
#

M+ is a side project for them

golden relic
#

or just make every racial a utility instead of a dps thing

ruby idol
#

They dont balance for or around it very often if ever

#

So things just play out how they play out

be's passive stats are also quite good in st + aoe

ruby idol
#

Troll still typically better in raid so BE stays as is

vestal wren
#

so even without at its a very strong race

#

giving at with a high power budget and designing content for it just makes it stand out again

ruby idol
#

But with all this said the gains are insanely minimal

#

Im literally only BE because of a high UR i missed timing early in the season by seconds that would have been in time had we not run out of torrents

#

And i tilted

golden relic
#

Traumatized into playing BE

ruby idol
#

Its not a huge deal in reality tho

golden relic
#

I mean, look wise, BE has some sick mog potential 👌

ruby idol
#

I play male BE out of spite

#

I look and act a fool

golden relic
#

Ive seen your pony tail pirate

ruby idol
#

Hahaha

vestal wren

race diffrences are dps wise very low

#

With outlaw being strong next season in m+, its time to go stiff night elf model for that slow feelsyarrman

ruby idol
#

Prot warriors dont kite

vestal wren
ruby idol
#

We outlaw boys :)

golden relic
#

imagine knowing a prot warrior, haHAA

devout jolt
#

why is it strong next season?

ruby idol
#

The fotms will rise soon enough

#

Its strong now

golden relic
#

time to lvl alt and rename to Reapingclap

vestal wren
#

more azerite traits makes prot quite decent

ruby idol
#

We'll see how hard the reaping dot scales as keys get higher

#

Cause that could push them out in favor of dk/monk

#

But it looks good so far

golden relic
#

Skipping last reaping wave would be nice though

#

with a DK

ruby idol
#

@devout jolt were you asking about outlaw?

devout jolt
#

yeah

ruby idol
#

Ya some dungeons dk will be v good for that specific reason

#

Outlaw is v strong now already. Reaping favors its dmg profile even more

devout jolt
#

ah I thought it would be regarding reaping.

ruby idol
#

Reaping wants consistent aoe damage

#

Without ramp time

devout jolt
#

anyone tested fok with the new trait yet? that can be quite instant aoe dmg

ruby idol
#

I think we'll find what are the current best rogue specs in each dungeon, stay that way

vestal wren
#

the new trait eliminates one of the weaknesses of sin

#

i like it

devout jolt
#

same

ruby idol
#

So assa kr temple, sub tol shrine, preference the rest

golden relic
#

Sub with last reaping wave on a boss

#

pog

ruby idol
#

Ya im hoping we find some cool sub strats like that

vestal wren
#

i am actually curios how sub holds with the new affix

ruby idol
#

Outlaw benefits from having their bis aoe traits also be their bis ST targets

golden relic
#

hadnt thought about sub as much with extra azerite rings acctually

vestal wren
#

you will still likely get 1x wits

ruby idol
#

Well ya

#

But many dungeons have bosses where 1 wits is bis ST trait too

#

Basically theres no sacrificing anything when your gearing outlaw and that has the potential to push it above the other 2 specs i think

#

Still just speculation

vestal wren
#

outlaw is atm not bad in m+ too

ruby idol
#

I hope blizzard also thinks its not bad

#

Because thatd mean they dont know its actually overtuned af

#

And is safe :)

golden relic
#

all tuned for 5th ring 😃 😃 😃 😃 shhhh it will be fine

vestal wren
#

i guess there will be a balance tuning for the raid sooner or later

golden relic
#

I wish sub just had more use then being a cheesy spec, but otherwise im pretty happy where rogues are in all specs atm. I mean obvsly not perfect but

ruby idol
#

Ya were speculating about things that will shift alot come mythic week im sure

vestal wren
#

sub dev's just need to take a step back and look what went wrong in the transition from legion -> bfa and re-iterate using that information

golden relic
#

i want DFA back lol

#

Tomb Sub was the most fun ive had in a long time

ruby idol
#

Just be new to rogue this xpac, then you can't be sad thinkman

vestal wren
#

thats true, if you only started rogue for bfa you probably okay-ish with current iteration

golden relic
#

Haha, super pre planned tacs of re rolling a class

vestal wren
#

just like early legion sub for ppl new to the class

golden relic
#

you will never kno the pain of lacking assa lege boots or shoulders

#

bless

vestal wren
#

sub's current iteration is very close to early legion sub, and that iteration was so great that they needed to remake the spec in tos

golden relic
#

Ye but I think tomb sub was so nice imo cause of the tier set

#

now with no sets, makes stuff stale

ruby idol
#

To be fair, having 3 specs that are all insanely viable in different situations is a prett nice state to be in

golden relic
#

cause your shit doesnt change up abit every tier

#

stays the same , and azerite traits hardly change your rotation as much as some tiers did

obsidian sierra
#

I mean i only play rogue since bfa so yeah dont know what ya mean and happy 😄

vestal wren
#

sub was more extreme, all raids pre tos you where only relevant with 1 specific legendary, not having it was up to 25% damage loss besides the legendary acting like a wheelchair and making up for close to every potential mistake

#

outlaw still has its issues, but i think the bf changes gave outlaw a nice niche

golden relic
#

getting a legendary and it being something like cinadaria

#

or will of valeera

vestal wren
#

assassination was fine with any dps legendary

golden relic
#

got shoulders litterally last aswell

vestal wren
#

even slightly overtuned compare to others due to low legendary dependency

golden relic
#

Zoldycks were sick though, would want smth like that back as a trait

vestal wren
#

ye the execute was insane

fresh coyote
#

are BFDazaralor fights looking good for rogues?

vestal wren
#

fights look good for dot based specs, and there is soaking

#

so yes

flat ocean
#

Fuu what spec are you planning to play on prog atm?

fickle viper
#

@golden relic how do you skip last reaping wave as DK?

vestal wren
#

i play subtlety, tho i am not in a guild where spec matters to much

flat ocean
#

Also what are your thoughts on treacherous covenant?

golden relic
#

You would hold a mob like in ataldazar and kill it after boss so the last wave at 100% doesnt spawn

fickle viper
#

Yeah, might not need a DK for that in every dungeon tho

golden relic
#

or it does but its not relevant cause dung is over

fickle viper
#

any dungeon you can kill last boss with <100% thats doable

vestal wren
#

TC is rly good, you will want TC or your usual strong traits

golden relic
#

no I would imagine you could just CC something aswell

quick ice
#

my healers are already concerned about it 😃

vestal wren
#

there is no real change for traits rly

flat ocean
#

You don't think it will hinder prog to much with unnecessary deaths?

fickle viper
#

Some dungeons you might not be able to skip something entirely to go to last boss

golden relic
#

Because you would have to backtrack alot of dungeons or re plan alot

fickle viper
#

so you'd CC / shroud or w/e

#

and then revisit after boss

obsidian sierra
#

New rogue meta shroud to boss

fickle viper
#

For the new TC trait I recently read that dmg that puts you into 20% range will also be amplified by the the extra dmg taken, not sure iof true but might actually make it pretty bad/risky

obsidian sierra
#

🤗

flat ocean
#

So it will work like DK

#

DK's will of necro or w/e it is

fickle viper
#

only at risk in M+ i reckon anyways

vestal wren

well wont matter for early progression given the majority will use channeled gear from m+

speaking of the world first race

I mean, if limit just didn't extend they would have won 100%

vestal wren

wasn't limit extending?

fickle viper

yeah thats the joke, but im sure htey wont make that mistake again

#

and then Vantus runes got nerfed or something as well

kinda yikes

They have some experience with it now

vestal wren

if they whiped very low they would have killed it with a bit more gear

fickle viper

I swear, method is shitting themselves

vestal wren

for the current tier, things are not equal the gear channeling beeing exploited to that extend makes some guilds have a huge advantage

brisk forge

Community runs?

fickle viper

^the gear funneling was what my delted post was bout

#

the fact that blizzard is so unbelievably dense

#

to give it such a garbage fix

like how do they not just realise that it doesnt fix anything, legit doesnt make sense

they fixed everything

But anymore tho

fickle viper

and then their ego makes it so that they NEED to integrate the scrapper

into their gameplay shenanigans

and then it turns int ofiestas like this

vestal wren

yes they could avoided that issue by just make every bosskill drop a certain amount of the currency and make it act like a bad luck protection for gear

I literally did a hc run on my disc alt yday for mythrax chest and a 389 guy gets it and says "sorry, need the residuum"

I hate when they "force" us to do old raids... For the residuum

fickle viper
#

In any other situation that guy probably wouldnt have been in that run tho tisu i think

#

if it wasnt for the chalk

vestal wren

i think blizz just underestimated the effort guilds make to exploit a system to get a advantage

fickle viper
#

They might underestimate it, but then they acknowledge it

#

and legitimately covme up with a completely incomplete solution

They're by far the worst at predicting emergent player behaviour

they need to purposely tune it up or else we might have a very quick tier

Thing is, next week, you have hc and mythic uldir splits, m0 runs, random hc spam, and normal and hc bod splits

also mythic week will have higher reward in weekly chest

Yea

#

I wish blizz stopped making these infinite grinds

vestal wren

so assuming they will go in with full azerite is quite reasonable

vast forum

But then money > quality

vestal wren
#

grinding is a ground pillar of wow

#

and to a certain extend ppl like it and enjoy it

vast forum
#

Not infinite grind tho

#

They could have capped neck lvl at 35 or smt in season 1

vestal wren
#

ppl love m+ and its a infinite grind

vast forum
#

Or they could have done a 300% ak thing for 1st week of s2

exotic jay
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
vast forum
#

M+ is not a grind

#

It's competitive endgame content

#

It's like saying arenas are a grind

vestal wren
#

AP overall is a failed system in bfa

#

thats bc. they specifically designed it for m+

#

one of the reasons ap is bad is bc. blizz goes with forced content

#

e.g. if you want to get ap up quick you unavoidable need to do islands

#

if you dont like them 🤷 other content that provides the currency just will require tons of additional time to get the same result

brisk forge
#

Yeah but just doing the WQs will have your neck at 38+ 👍 So no need for spam if u aint aming for 40++

grizzled jay
#

Exactly

vestal wren
#

so doing all wq's is not farming, i see

fickle viper
#

doing all WQ is worse than islands

#

imo

#

id rather just grind island for a few hours just before the new raid tier than do WQ all the bloody time

grizzled jay
#

Not all just the ones with big rewards. Doing them casually gives you a good neck lvl.

fickle viper
#

ye true

grizzled jay
#

For 40 obv you need boring islands

fickle viper
#

its maybe not forced in an actual forced way

#

but its just a carrot on a stick

arctic harness
#

Many people overestimate how competitive they have to be

#

So they feel forced

fickle viper
#

so you did (almost) every AP WQ before that week?

#

is that not forced?

grizzled jay
#

Do you do your emissaries tisu?

fickle viper
#

WQs are dead boring content that no one i know actually enjoys

#

its just another chore

grizzled jay
#

Unless its an AP emissary I just scout the map for one or two big AP ones and do them. That's about all the grind i do

vestal wren
#

its not forced now

#

you can just not do any content 😉

fickle viper
#

yeah and at some point blizz became hyper aware of that and abuses it to force play time in shit content

#

not sure if its their egos or their jobs they dont want to hurt, ie. "we need people to play this new content or else we'll look bad"

#

so they just make IEs give disproportionate amount of AP

grizzled jay
#

Yeah got like 7 chests

#

Yum yum

fickle viper
#

Its just as spammable as M+ essentially except they nerf M+ spammability as well, and M+ rewards like 5-10x as little

#

I mean, Blizzard literally takes away your power (azerite traits) and then gives them back to you if you are a good boy and you do your AP stuff

grizzled jay
#

It does suck that they made M+ less rewarding while making it a tad harder

obsidian sierra
#

Thing is i havent done wq or expedition (not even weekly) for over 2 month and im 36. question is , is it worth 2 month grinding shit wq and ie for 4 levels

fickle viper
#

'forced' sitn the right word for it, but its pretty nasty

obsidian sierra
#

You decide

fickle viper
#

The grind ties in completely to azerite system tho

#

so its not entirely somethign else

vestal wren
#

well ap grind would be fine if they did re-iterate on artefact and not bind your tier unlock to it

grizzled jay
#

That's why I guess the Legion Ap grind felt better

vestal wren
#

azerite is essentially tier sets and i cant think of a reason to say "yea i think it might be a good idea to have ppl get their tier set and have to farm to unlock it after that"

grizzled jay
#

The unclocking of traits and then losing them to unlocl the same ones sounds like a mobile game idea

fickle viper
#

That, plus a couple of other things are just phony ways to get people to play

#

People arent playing because they want to paly the game

#

they are playing because they feel they NEED to do this to some extent

vestal wren
#

the essentiall issue is losing your progression more or less

#

it is just a cheep way to keep it relevant

fickle viper
#

i found the banned word everything makes sense

solid nova
#

@fickle viper You dont need to do that thanks

fickle viper
#

no vanish emote for me to disappear with

#

I think lots of people have high hop[es for this tier, both the raid and M+ changes

#

Reaping should make people feel better about M+ again i reckon

#

its just gonna be spicy that we're only at 2nd tier and people are gonna start getting burnt out on same dungeons soon i think

ruby idol
#

Lack of infested*

fickle viper
#

^true actually

grizzled jay
#

No infested is a blessing

fickle viper
#

now they just remove bolstering and we're another step i nthe right direction

vestal wren
#

i wounder what classes/specs will be best for the new affix, did anyone play it as sin on ptr?

ruby idol
#

Bolstering is a fine affix!

#

Explosive and teeming need a look at before bolstering

grizzled jay
#

Im ok with bolstering. Just remove teeming

fickle viper
#

Teeming i think is fine then again tbh

#

Its just more mobs

#

and as long as the mobs themselves arent stupidly designed

ruby idol
#

I played a bit of sin on ptr

fickle viper
#

its not a prob

grizzled jay
#

On non tyrannical weeks its not

ruby idol
#

Teeming just needs to be on the same tier as fort/tyrannical

#

That tier increases time

fickle viper
#

Bolstering increases time

ruby idol
#

The other tiers increase difficulty

fickle viper
#

sanguine increases time

ruby idol
#

Ya not if executed properly tho, teeming is an unavoidable time sink is the point

fickle viper
#

Bolstering is an unavoidable time sink because it limits pulls

#

similar to teeming might

#

where a pack is suddenly too dangerous

#

to pull on top of another

ruby idol
#

Obviously sang and bolstering increase time in some situations

fickle viper
#

I get what u mean, maybe with PERFECT play you can minimze that time loss

#

but bolstering is just another anti-fun affix

#

palying better ==> still losing time tho

#

CCing a big mob and pulling smallies away

ruby idol
#

But teeming literally adds millions of hp to the required count, before factoring in any other affix. And performance does not lessen the effect of teeming basically

fickle viper
#

==> time loss

#

That extra millions of HP can also be entirely irrelevant if you are aoeing

#

having 5 more mobs to aoe on top of the 10 you already have doesnt matter if your aoe output just scales linearly with those mobs

#

the bottleneck of that pull doesnt change at that point

#

It still IS a time loss, and probably a bigger one gneerally than other affixes

ruby idol
#

So we agree

fickle viper
#

Yeah, Im just saying that other affixes are also time sinks

opaque tree
#

same Ivl, better to have 1 ss trait and one blightborne infusion (crit) vs 2xSS traits?

fickle viper
#

its not just Teeming, and teeming itself i dont think is an issue

#

I mean, at start of exp

#

because blizz went monkey they made teeming be ridiculous

#

and added some of the dumbest packs they could think of

ruby idol
#

Ya i played a little sin on ptr @vestal wren

#

2xSS likely best

vestal wren
#

i assume 3x ss + x likely eb

#

for dungeons

ruby idol
#

@@gusty kestrel sub and sin still have there place :) think sub has a lot to gain now that you dont have to deal with shitty infest paths every other week

fickle viper
#

what made sub lose out because of shitty infest paths?

vestal wren
#

well you can now pull trash easy to bosses

ruby idol
#

There were bad weeks for sub in atal shrine siege

#

But now that nothing is ever infested its easier to pull for subs strengths

#

And yes pull things on bosses

fickle viper
#

yeah, thats true

#

i was thinking how sub also had a good infested kit jsut cause fo their funnel dmg

ruby idol
#

Ya but that strength exists without infest too right. For example, this week in atal with the skyscreamers infested

#

Is a VERY good sub week

#

But if those skyscreamers arent infested those are still very good sub pulls

#

But now when saurids would have been infested, those are still nutty sub pulls

#

But ya fuu i played mostly with 3ss 3eb, tho i think 1 ss 2sob 3eb can be very strong

#

Sins dmg profile felt really odd to me with the new affix, but i think as the season develops well start playing more for the dungeon rather than for reaping damage if that makes sense

fickle viper
#

im assuming you could stealth between activating the reaping 20% and the mobs becoming active ye?

ruby idol
#

Let the other classes handle reaping and just run like 3 SS 2 Sob 1 eb

#

Ya you can stealth

fickle viper
#

triple melee w/ ranged healer should be pog

ruby idol
#

Ranged feels like the utility slot ya

#

Trees beam vs perma slows

fickle viper
#

so far melee feels like it wins on dmg generally

ruby idol
#

Anywhere thats not necessary you can 3x melee

fickle viper
#

yea

ruby idol
#

Trees beam feels too good to fully drop tho

fickle viper
#

ive also heard seli say 3eb/2ss/1 ttk for 6 traits btw

ruby idol
#

Ya i think 1 ttk has a chance to see play

#

Idk, stacking eb felt like padding overal rather than actually useful to me, but i did only play sin in the like non giga dungeons

fickle viper
#

ye, i thought sob would be insane too

#

maybe it still gonan be better on stuff like KR where u cant get macx value from EB anyways

ruby idol
#

Thats what i mean, i havent played sin in the big aoe dungeons yet

spice surge
#

Early on sob will prob be worse as it basicly scales with the rest of your gear. Having 400 overall ilvl will make scent less useful than if you're 420. Which is not the case for ss or outlaw

obsidian sierra
#

@ruby idol shouldnt ss2 not be most dungeons kinda aoe?

Like always pulling 2-3 grps?

2+ is correct

bronze summit

@vestal wren thank you

2 targets is correct with fan of knives traits

fickle viper

if it IS 2+ always might need an update

idk if the website is even touched anymore

fringe narwhal
#

idk the contexted on what you snipped but eleem says with traits

spice surge
#

Fairly sure it's still 3+ without fok traits

fickle viper
#

Yeah, and fuu says generally

#

and the question wasnt specified for traits

spice surge
#

I'll check the apl in a sec

fickle viper
#

so i figured id add that

#

2 targets wouldnt make sense without traits unless uve got 40% crit at least

#

wait theres some math missing i nthat

#

as of 66% crit your expected CP per energy spent on FoK vs Muti is equal on 2 targets

kind kindle
#

So I have been gone for a hot minute, is Sin still decent in pvp?

bronze summit

Ok so 3+ without fok traits is the consensus?

Does raidbots accurately sim SS?

dark crag
#

Kind of

#

In a patchwerk you only get value In the opener and vanish but in actual raids you often can use garotte on adds

fringe lily

I assumed something like that, seemed odd that my 385 rezans fury chest was summing so much higher than 375 SS

spice surge

Well, SS isnt really a singletarget trait

#

So when simming singletarget its not very suprising its not at the top

do we stack shrouded suffocation or only go for 1 for the combo points?

@ornate python No change at all

Literally only a tooltip change

ah okay. i was kinda confused about all the numbers changing and the trait suddenly saying "additional damage every 2 sec for 18 sec"

#

ty

spice surge
#

They're trying to convey that it affects every tick, just like it already does

Because with the current tooltip it sounds like its added onto the total, so just looking at it it seems awful

and any legit info about asa go-to build in T23? Blindslide can be competitive? WTB decent egzecute phase on my rogue ;P

If there was a place for blindside it would've been ghuun and it still sucked

As soon as you have 1 double dose you dont use it outside of the proc

vestal wren

blindside was okay without azerite

it would need better scaling to be actually good

so, mb some prediction about stats/traits/talents? exsa <> TB? EB <> MP?

#

i like exsa tbh, hope it will be playable ;P

vestal wren

exsang is rly good with GC, TB is else a good alternative

#

Eb is dominant

there is not much to predict, azerite stays the same the new raid trait TC is good

is here already been conversation about what azerite pieces/bosses are optimal to roll first week

#

and how many coins u gonna save for mythic week?

spice surge
#

The best pieces, helm from first and shoulder from third/second

covert pelican
#

is assa looking like the progression spec again this tier?

spice surge
#

7 for mythic

#

But required you to start saving a couple weeks ago

brisk frost
#

y, i have 7 coins waiting

#

or 5 w/e

#

u gonna save 7 coins for mythic?

#

and be sure u gonna kill like 7 mythic bosses first week?

bronze summit
#

Not even one xD

brisk frost
#

is it better option than focusing on atleast 3 azerite pieces from hc and main hand?

bronze summit
#

In my case at least xD

spice surge
#

you dont have to spend all 7 in one week

bronze summit
#

That really depends on your guild right?

spice surge
#

Besides, the best azerites drop from the early bosses (except chest) and the best weapon from the fourth one

#

So

bronze summit
#

If ur in method or limit.. yeah 7 down in one week seems doable :)

#

If not well... i will just spend them on azerite dropping bosses on hc. And save at least 2 coins for prog

#

Mythic prog*

brisk frost
#

u gonna focus on getting shrouded or dd traits?

#

or which ones?

vestal wren
#

mystler updated the wowehad guide for the raid, might look their

#

but tl;dr: the traid trait TC is strong, the rest stays as is

brisk frost
#

is tc really that good? especially on prog

spice surge
#

Check your log how often you fall under 50%, its actaully really rare

#

Checked my progress logs for uldir, worst fight for uptime would've been g'huun at like 85%

brisk frost
#

atm yes when every1 is outgearing uldir very hard

spice surge
#

Progress logs, ie first kill

brisk frost
#

okay

signal prairie
#

u think TC gets nerved at some Point in the first weeks?

brittle ferry
#

Did the people running the simulationcraft website just stop working on it? Still not raw data for Dazaralor

shrewd night
#

Why have raw data for stuff that is still changing

brittle ferry
#

Why not? Why is it bad that I want to get some baseline data on trait matchups and stuff

#

And still changing? We are like 5 days from the new raid releasing lol

spice surge
#

What are you talking about? The frontpage of simc's website?

brittle ferry
#

Yeah

spice surge
#

Those rankings are irrelevant in most cases anyway, because speccs that are played less have less dev time and therefore look worse

brittle ferry
#

There should at least be something at this point for the APLs and data stacks

spice surge
#

But yes, things will be changing, especially after the first week

sturdy python
#

Then figure out how to do it yourself. Those people work for free I doubt they want to waste their time

shrewd night
#

Yes. Let's spend a fuckton of time developing something that could be rendered useless at any point between now and mythic week kek

brittle ferry
#

We always did before lol

shrewd night
#

'We'?

spice surge
#

There is a difference between simming all traits once, like they did for uldir, and simming every combination

brittle ferry
#

Figured someone would have hashed that out by now. Lol

shrewd night
#

That someone could be you.

spice surge
#

Its still just get the best traits

#

Assa doesnt have any good synergies between the traits anyway

brittle ferry
#

SnD were you the one doing it before?

shrewd night
#

Nope. I wouldn't waste my time like that.

primal gazelle
#

just trust your feelings

#

believe in the heart of the cards

brittle ferry
#

Ah okay, your just a guy here at the ready to be critical of someone asking where, what is normally pretty accessible data, is. Gotcha lol

shrewd night
#

Nice one. You really got me there bud. Must be really accessible data. I'm sure the theorycrafters aren't holding it back for a reason. Nah.

@gray crest enkeys is outaded af.. do you maintain it?

wary ice

i just made my own; there isnt a lot to track for ass aside from CD's and Uptimes

everything else is clutter

gray crest

manic veldt

Im 8/8 mythic since a couple week and did not do my work to prepare before the next raid ^.^ assasss will be THE best spec again in next tier ?

vestal wren

prisma monolithBOT
echo crane
#

Which are better 355 shoulders that i dont have a trait on or 340 that i have echoing knives

#

should i use the 355 for single target and swap to 340 for multi?

unborn mist
nimble tartan
#

someone is gonna luck out on sub and get 3 tfd early and get it nerfed

coarse knot
#

should probably focus on getting neck lvl

gray crest
#

the third tfd trait is probably going to be too overkill

high holly
#

any profession items worth making?

gray crest
#

engineering has a cool shield if you dont care so much abou tmaking gold

echo crane
#

Is it reliable to sim multi-target?

icy pollen
#

hey, quick question

#

if i play with exsang

#

do i use it on cd?

#

The Ravenholdt Guide doesnt say anything to exsang besides how to use it in the opener

vestal wren
#

i would suggest the wowhead guide for a more in detail one

hollow stone
#

Just use tb its braindead 😎

round harbor
ripe nimbus
#

Just play sin rogue it's brain dead oh wait.

hollow stone
#

Teehee

round harbor
#

Can't tell if srs

ripe nimbus
#

Mostly lul

round harbor
#

Eh

#

I mean any spec can be braindead

#

Sin is just as hard as any other spec to have mastery of

#

Lots of little nuances to get full potential out of it

hollow stone
#

Yea. Sin is easy... til you see that super derp pull terrible dps and wonder if it really is that easy 🤔

icy pollen
#

Use Exsanguinate when Rupture is up for longer than it's base duration (meaning it has been refreshed and not just applied) and Garrote is also up for more than 6 seconds still.

round harbor
#

I'm outlaw is easier, and sub is alot harder

icy pollen
#

what, shouldnt i reapplay garrote first?

round harbor
#

I'd even say sub is probly one of the most difficult specs in the game atm

sturdy python
#

Sub is not that hard

#

You just gotta learn how to dance

ripe nimbus
#

Yah sub isn't hard

sturdy python
#

In legion it had more punishing windows, a leggo that forced you to stay max melee range to benefit, and weird artifact powers that could be difficult to master (Sprint stealth)

#

Early legion*

#

Wasn't a very loved spec then though

fluid mist
#

I know it’s a bit of a grey area but how do you guys think sin will stand next tier in raids opposed to the other rogue specs? I’m quite invested in sin atm because i just like The playstyle a lot more but would you say picking up on sub or outlaw is worth it looking at The fights etc?

solid nova
#

It'll be fine

round harbor
#

As a rogue you "should" be versed in all specs

#

Imo

ripe nimbus
#

They do a balance patch a week before mythic release so it doesn't really matter what u pick now. Wait till then. And then make ur decisions any of them should be fine tho

fluid mist
#

I know i’m quite okay at playing sub but i just never really picked up on outlaw

round harbor
#

Outlaw is the easiest of the three

#

One builder one spender one glowy proc on buff to maintain and one cooldown that you press on cooldown

ripe nimbus
#

Uhhh BtE is a spender too

round harbor
#

Fair

#

Two spender one that you push when available

fluid mist
#

I just don’t feel it i guess :p i like sin way more and i guess sub is fine aswell

round harbor
#

What level of raider are you if you don't mind me asking

#

Heroic? Mythic? World 100? World 500?

fluid mist
#

7/8 mythic this tier but had to swap 10 people during The tier because of quitters

#

Nothing special 😃 mostly cutting edge tho

round harbor
#

So at that level it doesn't matter

fluid mist
#

No but i do still like performing as well as i can. I know all specs are okay for The content i do but if one is much better then another i still feel obligated to pick it up

ripe nimbus
#

Also if u want to be technical roll the bones is a spender as well

plain jacinth
#

So who to coin for the first week? The best 3 azerite pieces for single target seem to come from first 2 bosses and mekkatorque. Since it'll take a while to get to mythic mekkatorque, I think coining him is definitely worth it, especially since he also drops a good trinket. Not sure about coining first 2 on heroic since we should be able to kill them every week on mythic including first week. However, it could still be worth it since going from season 1 to 2 azerite gear will be a huge upgrade due to the extra trait. Also thinking about using a coin on one of the bosses that drop daggers. Need to use at least 2 coins to avoid capping, but should we be using more?

alpine rain
#

17.1k dps on Fettid w/o getting orb, thats pretty good for sin right?

fluid mist
#

On fetid?.. i guess you mean zekvoz?

alpine rain
#

Zek'voz

#

howd u know O_O

fluid mist
#

Well there is No orb on fetid for starters :p

alpine rain
#

/facepalm

#

at fettid now thats why brain fart xD

fluid mist
#

Check warcraftlogs to see where you stack up against other rogues

alpine rain
#

Most of the WL are super inflated with orbs tho

fluid mist
#

True.

#

You need that orb to parse well :p

ripe nimbus
#

I usually do 20-22k with out orb

fluid mist
#

Yeah i had a 19,5 yesterday without orb

alpine rain
#

How long does your little adds stay up?

fluid mist
#

Not long since we have 2 Dh’s and a frostdk just wanking to The thought of those adds spawning

ripe nimbus
#

I donno they are irrelevant anyway I don't attack them

alpine rain
#

Mind linking log ?

fluid mist
#

I mostly fok once to get my poisons rolling on them

primal gazelle
fluid mist
#

And then just dot up The boss if they need to be refreshed and swap to The bigger add

primal gazelle
#

if you look up each of the logs, the entire raid stops dps and let him pad on adds, the amount of dedication is insane

fluid mist
#

Lol hahaha

#

Sick tho that 64k on zul xD

#

Where do i find me a guild like that lol

primal gazelle
#

i wonder how much he paid his raid to do that lmao

fluid mist
#

Well it’s either a very hot lady in a guild full of hungry gamers or Some rich bastard....

#

I think i might get The boot if i even ask my guild to do this lmao

primal gazelle
#

one of my ww officers paid me 20k back in legion to not aoe adds during spellblade

#

so he could parse

ripe nimbus
#

Scrub mentality I would of told him to piss off lol

primal gazelle
#

nah pretty sure he got #1 that fight

#

he's a tank in limit now, one of the best players ive ever played with

fluid mist
#

That parse got him into limit

#

tax his ass another 20k man

primal gazelle
#

LMAO

ripe nimbus
#

And? Means nothing do people actually look at number 1 parses anyway? Get number 1 on prog then maybe u have ground to stand on. Getting 1 by padding means nothing

fluid mist
#

I was joking btw :p you know that right?

fading vigil
#

Yea he took you way too serious 😂😂

#

Sounds like a soft spot for him.

#

Good question on the bonus rolls. What do y’all recommend first week?

primal gazelle
fading vigil
#

Wow big dick

primal gazelle
#

20k well spent

fluid mist
#

Indeed lol

fading vigil
#

20k well earned haha better way to look st it

fluid mist
#

I am not sure yet on The rolls. I Will be saving a coin for that first boss helm tho because oh baby that thing is spicy

#

And mekkaboi has Some Nice loot aswell but as The guy asking The question said it Will be a while for most of us until we reach him on mythic.

round harbor
#

Save bonus rolls until after you do all of heroic and normal

#

Then go back a second clear and roll then

ripe nimbus
#

It depends how many mythic kills ur guild will get. I'm rolling on first 2nd and 3rd boss heroic just to get azerite. Then still have 4 rolls for mythic won't kill more then 4 first week for my guild anyway

primal gazelle
#

roll on conclave if you care about m+ and getting SS and EB traits

fading vigil
#

Conclave it is

#

What do you predict world first aotc will be lol

primal gazelle
#

they dont care for that

round harbor
#

? As in who gets it?

fluid mist
#

Nah it’s kinda irrelevant :p

round harbor
#

Whichever guilds doesn't do splits

primal gazelle
#

method/limit will do multiple 9/10 heroic splits before killing jaina

fluid mist
#

I got a pretty good idea who Will get The wf mythic kill by now tho lol

primal gazelle
#

im rooting for limit just bc #us

round harbor
#

It don't matter to me too much

fading vigil
#

I enjoyed method stream, will they be doing it this raid tier?

fluid mist
#

I would like it to be limit just because they are The underdog

fading vigil
#

They should’ve had ghuun but bad call on the reset

round harbor
#

Imagine spending all that time farming to get world 2nd
