i mean there are a pair of gloves that spawn little drops that heal or deal frost dmg, i guess they arent good?

arctic venture
#

hey guys. what´s up with the changes? which is the best aoe spec for moment? and sin?

#

for single target?

hollow stone
#

Not sure, unfortunately id say sim and hold onto them just in case they end up being good

rigid mango
#

The wrists/feet are giga

#

the waist is giga vs 2 bosses

#

that's it

chilly wasp
#

Could there be someone who would be able to watch over my Rouge in discord call? and help me while watching?

rigid mango
#

not if you call it rouge

hollow stone
#

So the wrists are actually good @rigid mango?

rigid mango
#

Yeah

#

insane.

#

like 600dps increase or smth tisu was talking

#

like actually bonkers shit

hollow stone
#

Dang

rigid mango
#

same for feet

#

atleast feet are better than 455 socketed piece iirc

hollow stone
#

Yea. Boots are great

rigid mango
#

at 425

#

Super stupid shit

hollow stone
#

I got the belt and havent pumped it yet... i know if i dump my pearls ill get boots -_-

rigid mango
#

I'll roll for wrists/feet first

#

waist later since it's more situational thatn just "wear in raid"

vivid hill
#

are the gloves any good?

hollow stone
#

Rolling boots on alts but no luck so far. Got belt on my 2nd belt. Havent spent any pearls yet

rigid mango
#

Like I said

#

feet/wrists

#

waist for 2 bosses

#

Rest might be good/ok, but those are the ones you go for

#

sims'll tell you

vivid hill
#

gotcha thanks

#

which pair of wrists were the good ones @rigid mango

hollow stone
#

Frost dmg

zenith gust
#

what essence should i use in BoD if i can only equip 1 essence? i see most log using Blood, but maybe they're using blood because they have lucid as a minor? :/

winter moss
#

lucid dreams

civic palm
#

Always Lucid_m.

zenith gust
#

so if i only can take 1 essence (54 neck), i take lucid, and when i hit 55 i take lucid as minor and blood as mayor?

rigid mango
#

Sim it

civic palm
#

@ 55 you would take what sims best for you :3

So probably Lucid_m and Lucid_M unless you have Guardian3.

rigid mango
#

but probs flame/blood + lucid

zenith gust
#

ok

#

so people running 800 crit is beacuse of Blood?

#

seemed quite low to me

rigid mango
#

hm?

#

Blood becomes best at r3

#

Like, quite a bit

zenith gust
#

was watching top logs in BoD now and everybody was around 800 crit and using blood

hollow stone
#

People running 800 crit cause other secondaries sim better for them

rigid mango
#

but flame/blood are more or less equal

hollow stone
#

🙃

rigid mango
#

^

white basalt
#

blood is only good for m+ right?

#

or some kind of add cleave boss

rigid mango
#

Did I not just say blood/flame + lucid like

#

3 times?

civic palm
#

The Major is still good for ST.

rigid mango
#

^

deft nymph
#

is crimson tempest p much a must for keys

hollow stone
#

Lol, but that wasnt directed to me

deft nymph
#

or do people run bomb on tyr or something?

civic palm
#

Never CT.

stuck knoll
#

People just run pbomb

#

Always

rigid mango
#

Always PB

deft nymph
#

so just like

#

rupture everything

ripe nimbus
#

Blood is only good because it's the only one atm u could farm R3 of. Once season 3 starts it's very unlikely u will use it in any situation

deft nymph
#

?

rigid mango
#

Well

#

You need 5 bleeds out

stuck knoll
#

4/5 ruptures til you’re energy positive

rigid mango
#

5 bleeds = inf energy

deft nymph
#

or i guess if it's gonna die fast envenom

stuck knoll
#

Then spinnys

rigid mango
#

At that point you just GCD lock

#

with fok or env

#

etc

deft nymph
#

so don't worry about spending combo points for like reaping

#

just get bleeds out and fan?

rigid mango
#

You want to rupture snipe

stuck knoll
#

With EB fok is better than a finisher at certain mob counts

rigid mango
#

On reap

#

At that point you just get initial bleeds out

#

and snipe low hp targets for the energy refund with ruptures

#

and spam fok without spending cp

severe wasp
#

How do you guys feel about the crafted inscription trinket?

rigid mango
#

if it's good

#

I'll take it, if not

#

I won't

deft nymph
#

how about the optimization card

rigid mango
#

I've not resimmed it since the changes it got, dunno if it's better or not

#

The trinket w the cards?

quasi pewter
rigid mango
#

sucks.

stuck knoll
#

The card is pretty undertuned atm

rigid mango
#

170k env

deft nymph
#

dang

rigid mango
deft nymph
#

i got a 425 card D:

severe wasp
#

I got the crafted one to go with a 405 boon

rigid mango
#

Just sim it

civic palm
#

If you're not hitting 415+ on the cards they will never get near several 385 trinkets.

@rigid mango peepo

#

dice + spyglass/plumage

#

for m+

stuck knoll
#

Dice and kimbuls for raid then

civic palm
#

Yep

deft nymph
#

dice/boon was simming best for st

civic palm
#

Spyglass is a fine option as well but Kimbuls dmg is real real atm.

#

Boon is a noobie trap.

rigid mango
#

I wonder if dice is better than plumage

#

at those levels

civic palm
#

On average, at the same item level, probably not.

severe wasp
#

Boon and crafted are my highest

civic palm
#

It scales well though, so it at 420 is dope.

severe wasp
#

Rest are like 385

civic palm
#

Don't use Boon, if you do don't ask more questions unless it's regarding why you SHOULD NOT use Boon.

deft nymph
#

really glad to hear that

rigid mango
#

Boon is bad

deft nymph
#

i tried it a couple times but found myself not using it nearly enough

rigid mango
#

Realistically

severe wasp
#

Okay

rigid mango
#

Sim wise? good. realistically? not so much

civic palm
#

Just use Cannonball Runner 👌

severe wasp
#

I actually got a 400 spyglass

deft nymph
#

i find the concept of a trinket that gives you speed for standing still

severe wasp
#

Is that better?

deft nymph
#

pretty hilarious

civic palm
#

It is kinda silly.

#

But I see it like a FOCUS!! thing.

#

STOP JUMPING AROUND AND PAY ATTENTION!!

#

Thankfully trinkets are very easy to SIM, and if you think you can match the SIM just do what it tells you.

severe wasp
#

What about az traits? I currently have 3 nothing personal and 2 double dose. Forgot what the other one is I'm at work

#

Think its keep your wits

civic palm
#

Sounds good for Raiding.

#

WitS is an OTL trait though.

#

and therefor useless to Assassination.

severe wasp
#

Let me check

#

Echoing blades is the other

civic palm
#

Poor Single Target, required for M+.

severe wasp
#

I had a rogue with me the other day with 3 shroud and the one that gives agility from rupture and he was foing crazy damage

#

Doing

carmine valve
#

Is it possible to increase the size of debuff that are on enemy name plate, thru addon or WA?

civic palm
#

Depends on your nameplates, probably.

carmine valve
#

I use blizz default

civic palm
#

Nope.

#

Well, with a WA nope either... maybe, not sure after the last round of LUA restrictions.

deft nymph
#

flyplatebuffs

civic palm
#

Probably yes with a WA.

celest swan
#

does the FoK at 2 Targets wiht EB count at 1 EB already? (no DD of course)

deft nymph
#

nice addon for that that works with blizz platexzs

lament oak
#

Is there any sim results for new trinkets yet?

civic palm
#

Yes but the raid hasn't released yet.

deft nymph
#

so next week, tforge cap is 455?

carmine valve
#

I want something like that Waat, I belive its the same addon they use on Arena tournament stream?

deft nymph
#

not sure, it just gives nice big icons with timers

#

and you can customize what it shows

strange python
#

On jadfire

#

i have to dot anathos and focus the monk ?

#

all the fight ?

stuck knoll
#

To do it right yest

#

To log better you sneakily focus mage so they last longer

strange python
#

i'm new its kinda hard

#

cause if i only focus the monk without dot anathos its gonna fucked my dps ?

unkempt karma
#

Just looted 410 kimbul, it sims lower then 410 plumage and harlands 400 with socket.

Should I keep it or trade it away?

dire spoke
#

Then try maintaining the dots on two dummies

stuck knoll
#

^ if you’re struggling with it that’s a good way to practice

strange python
#

Ok im gonna try :/

lean coral
#

so i sim higher with blood as major and lucid minor

hollow stone
#

@severe wasp on short pulls where you get to restealth every time (generally low keys), 3x ss and sob is strong

#

But its not good for high keys comparatively

tribal marlin
#

There is a special interaction with Benthic boots and EB right ?

dire spoke
#

@strange python don't forget that bleeds can pandemic and you extend the max duration by refreshing "early"

vague ledge
#

Is highborne compendium of sundering working correctly?

#

anyone?

civic palm
#

yes

vague ledge
#

cool

dire spoke
#

Why are you asking Ineff?

vague ledge
#

just heard somehting with it not working properly

chilly wasp
#

Yo ^^ i dont understand some people tell me i shoul do like 40k dps with 406 ILvL. Is it even possible?

drifting cloud
#

no.

unkempt karma
#

Lmao

chilly wasp
#

Could u tell me a dps i could do possibly?

muted cove
#

Which pot is going to be better for raiding? The one that gives crit chance or the regular agility potion

civic palm
#

not AGI

uncut dragon
#

If you sim out agi and crit which comes out ahead for you?

unkempt karma
#

Kimbul, anyone using it?

uncut dragon
#

you might pull 40K on big trash pulls. Single target full raid buffs closer to half that.

#

pre-essence

stuck knoll
#

@chilly wasp sim yourself with raid bots that’s the feasible maximum you could do playing perfectly with all the buffs

uncut dragon
#

If your raid time starts at ignoremechanics o'clock.

rancid bobcat
#

kimbul is alright but the socket on dice makes it better probably

unkempt karma
#

Trade it away to a guildie? or keep for the future?

rancid bobcat
#

and assassination needs an on use

#

give it away, you'll probably never use it

#

or expulsom

#

maaan

#

can we get rid of the wq trinkets on hero damage

unkempt karma
#

I got 410 plumage

#

on use

rancid bobcat
#

it's so frustrating to look through the chart

unkempt karma
#

thanks !

sudden trench
#

Hi Guys, any idea if we have to target Benthic pieces? The shoulders look decent

rancid bobcat
#

buy the piece

#

use it

stuck knoll
#

Azerite no but some of the other pieces look good

#

Especially with sockets

unkempt karma
#

Got my waist today with socket

tribal marlin
#

Lol the Benthic Boots make my crit from 3.94 to 4.31 in stat weight

unkempt karma
#

Gota get boots next

sudden trench
#

ye, but is it better to target the piece with a socket and spend the pearls on that, or get the azi and then the boots for example 😃

rancid bobcat
#

actually you can just buy the azerite benthic right?

sudden trench
#

im using the CoS boots atm

rancid bobcat
#

also the shoulders are booty what you talkin about

#

scent of blood

sudden trench
#

twist the knife

#

and Nothing personal

rancid bobcat
#

on the same ring

#

unless wowhead is wrong

sudden trench
#

lol the triat ppl say is good is tides

rancid bobcat
#

is tides good

sudden trench
#

thats what ppl are saying lol

#

hence me asking here

rancid bobcat
#

i kinda doubt it

#

i don't see any mention of it

arctic walrus
#

Should I roll for boots or bracers first

#

bracers sim way higher than me, but I'm not stated for crit so not sure

hollow stone
#

probably boots if youre looking big picture/long term

hollow stone
#

If you wanna pump on heroic week or first mythic week(s). Whatever is more of an increase for you is the better choice (which would be bracers)

tribal marlin
#

385 bracers better than 425

scarlet sequoia
#

hello friends, on herodamage are the essence sims set up so that the major sims are sims of major and minor effects put together or just the major effect alone

spice surge
#

Major are both combined

scarlet sequoia
#

okay!

ripe nimbus
#

If that's the case why does the worldvein major sim less then the worldvein minor

stuck knoll
#

Because with more than 3 targets it does nothing but waste a gcd

#

Sorry 3 or more allies*

tribal marlin
#

Is there a way to sim Worldvein minor with 3 or + allies

stuck knoll
tribal marlin
#

thx

Hello

#

How's the grind to 50K honor going for blood r3?

#

For you guys

ripe nimbus
#

I wouldn't know I don't grind things that make me want to stop livin especially when it's not even that good

strange python
#

yea grinding super hard for something you will replace in like a couple weeks anyways or immediately with flame doesnt sound fun

crisp steppe
#

@woven summit just getting rank 2. by the time I see content I will know whether blood rank3 is useful there or not

#

and can just farm it anyway then

hasty brook
#

Since I do not own this I can not sim it but anyone have any exp with this trinket you can make (410 ilevel) as a alchemy, [Abyssal Alchemist Stone]?

severe bough
#

anything changed on the minor essence front?

#

lucid + what else would be ideal, currently?

#

blood of the enemy?

hasty brook
#

Only exp with lucid so far.

severe bough
#

rip, im close to getting rank 3, and on 53 neck, i want to see if all that grinding is gonna pay out

hasty brook
#

Already have lucid rank 3?? I just got quest the other day but need to get my ally up to 3000 more exp

#

only 1250 of the way there to get the rank 2

severe bough
#

rank 3 blood of the enemy

#

altough i have seen people with rank 3

hasty brook
#

Ah that is the farm honor kills right?

severe bough
#

lucid

drifting cloud
#

its impossible to have lucid3 at this point

severe bough
#

bg honor

#

hmm there's 4 bosses that can drop follower exp

#

i wouldnt say impossible

hasty brook
#

hmm damn well I guess Ithought I was doing okay but well behind

drifting cloud
#

impossible.

#

in a few days people will have it

hasty brook
#

Need to get to 55 to at the very least add another essence

severe bough
#

let me ask around

#

maybe they dont have 6000 yet

#

but they're definitely close to it

#

anyways i was talking blood

#

im 38800/50000

No post about it either??

lean coral

@golden relic what is that addon what shows % on gems

right in time for new tier

nimble tartan

gems nerfed poggies

lusty narwhal
#

huh

marble hemlock
#

not sure how thats a stealth nerf :p

lusty narwhal
#

Fuck feelsbadman

marble hemlock
#

necessary change

#

shouldnt have been 60 to begin with

drifting cloud
#

shouldnt have been 40 for first 2 tiers

marble hemlock
#

exactly

drifting cloud
#

if anything our overall dps goes up way much, sockets become slightly worse every tier

marble hemlock
#

honestly, 50 is still too much 😄

civic palm
#

Should be 40 > _>"

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

but hey, now a socket is only worth 40 ilvls on a ring instead of 50

#

😄

what roll on the bracers is our bis?

just dont know what to go for next

onyx rock
#

Boots

sudden trench
#

thing is I have 425 + socket and also CoS with socket

carmine valve
#

Ive heard you need 5 Rupture only in m+ and no more than that. But how many target does it req for you to spam FoK instad of FoK-Envenoms

#

at what point does spamming FoK becomes better than using envenom

sudden trench
#

depends if you are running DD

#

I would say 3 or more

meager nebula
#

the crit damage boots are super strong

#

the belt for 2% damage to aberrations is good also

crisp steppe
#

how about phys dmg belt

#

I got both of those with sockets 🤔

sudden trench
#

ok, I will go for boots , prob best to upgrade the bracers as far as possible for now

meager nebula
#

is that the one with extra threat too

crisp steppe
#

ya

spice surge
#

The damage is fairly inconsequential

crisp steppe
#

aight

#

so just get abberation then

meager nebula
#

ye

crisp steppe
#

thinking ill get like 3-4 items to 420socket

#

425 will come later

meager nebula
#

just have a belt to swap out for the non aberration bosses

#

assuming you get a higher ilvl belt with a socket anyway

crisp steppe
#

heard something about the gloves being nice too but havent checked for rogue

meager nebula
#

uh its mostly healing

#

which is p nice

crisp steppe
#

yeah might consider

civic palm
#

Sockets are still very strong, if you've left over pearls and no alts to spend them on, I don't see why not.

carmine valve
#

How u spend pearl on alts? you can only buy the basic benthic gear for them?

jaunty plinth
#

if you need nothing for your main, go ham on pearl gear. but don't forget the tokens are account bound

civic palm
#

fucking, paypal 5$

carmine valve
#

Thats the flyplatebuff addon?

civic palm
#

No that's just KuiNameplates.

ah, ofc, ty

vagrant tapir
#

There are several bracers that proc damage, but some with better stat combos

#

hence the question

#

I've seen the pin

rigid mango
#

Frost

cobalt leaf
#

anyone free to check my stat weights quickly

rigid mango
#

It does say

#

frost dmg wrists

vagrant tapir
#

It says frost damage, but its haste/verts

rigid mango
#

Yes?

vagrant tapir
#

so I was unsure if the other damage proc was frost but just doesnt say frost

#

one says physical, one says frost, one says damage

rigid mango
#

And what does the pin say

cobalt leaf
rigid mango
#

Sup

cobalt leaf
#

need to see if my stat weights are okay

rigid mango
#

Sim it.

#

Stat weights are off

#

use top gear

cobalt leaf
#

sim'd it bud just asking for a bit of help sims at 26.1K

rigid mango
#

Yeah, if your sim tells you it's correct

#

it's correct.

we aren't above the sims

Give me a time machine and I might

rigid mango

All gems got nerfed

strange python

well it was 60 a few hours ago so it was a shadow to me.

warm harbor

all secondary stat gems nerfed to 60

50** REE

tropic ocean
#

But why 🙄

vapid scarab
#

You like equipping gear 20ilvls lower just because it rolled a socket?

lone junco
#

@gusty kestrel sub guns rising?

#

figured

tropic ocean
#

@vapid scarab nothing changed

#

😂

lone junco
#

lets see some trinket memes from mech with 95% crit btw

tropic ocean
#

Used 400 sockets over 420 non socket with 40 statgem 🤷🏿‍♂️

vapid scarab
#

And now it’s lessened

#

So it changed

tropic ocean
#

No

#

😂😂

vapid scarab
#

50<60

#

It changed

lone junco
#

Fact

tropic ocean
#

Yea

lone junco
#

50 is less than 60

tropic ocean
#

U will still use

#

Socket over tf

vapid scarab
#

Depends what ilvl

#

Like always

#

The point of the change is to make that gap lower

I don’t see what is hard to understand about that

yo how long does it take to farm the blood essence approximately?

tribal marlin

40-50hours of bgs

without weekly bonus

probly less if you do it with premade

jesus lmao

at 43.5k atm

faint harness

its been a long one

vapid scarab

Just do the daily win

gusty ice
#

that's farming for rank 3?

vapid scarab
#

Good ap while you farm the honor

#

And you’ll have r3 by the time it’s relevant

round harbor
#

In 3 months?

#

LOL

vapid scarab
#

I mean yeah?

tribal marlin
#

if you don't mind waiting you can indeed do daylies and farm more of when weekly bonus come again

rotund pier
#

is raidbots updated with teh gem hotifx(not at home)

vapid scarab
#

Blood is outclassed right now by several essences

#

Only when we get mid to late tier is it gonna start scaling hard

faint harness
#

it doesnt take months to reach late tier for some ppl

tribal marlin
#

For me atleast only Condensate life force does outclass BotE

#

and maybe Lucid major + Vein minor if there are 3 people in raid with it

ruby idol
#

Id be very surprised if lucid major vein + life force minor isnt standard for every boss

round harbor
#

For keys bote is pretty gravy atm

vapid scarab
#

Lucid major isn’t even that strong tho

round harbor
#

Can't think of anything that's gonna compete with it atm

vapid scarab
#

It’s the minor

ruby idol
#

5 seconds is not a long time

#

For bote crit dmg window

vapid scarab
#

Neither is 3s like MA yet it’s still the go to st talent

#

If unbound force minor has no icd I’m thinking that will be crazy for keys with fok spam+eb

ruby idol
#

Context matters, as in what your other optuons are

round harbor
#

in those 5 seconds though ur gonna be doing some mongo fok, envm'ing though

ruby idol
#

Pur protocol is flyin under the radar somehow

#

But yall wild!

round harbor
#

i like protocol, its performing decent atm but i think only becuase reaping still exists

lone junco
#

Energy is good.

ruby idol
#

You ever just insta kill a mob?

#

Like hello

tribal marlin
#

does it insta kill mobs in UR xD ?

vapid scarab
#

It doesn’t reflect on damage meters so people don’t care

round harbor
#

with bote envm yeah probly lol

#

bote also has st and aoe implications

#

whereas protocl is aoe only-ish

lone junco
#

+10% dmg for 8 second. on top of the gibbing and aoe fire dmg.

ruby idol
#

Passive is good, and cd on the on use is shorter

#

These things add up

round harbor
#

we shall see, hell for all we know iris will be the play

ruby idol
#

That was my next suggestion ya

round harbor
#

or better yet another season of never playing sin weeeee

lone junco
#

pull biggest and BAM purified an elite with full hps. '

#

sounds fun

#

will nerf

cant wait for outlaw to still be better due to vanish skipping the emissaries

#

Well ya

round harbor
#

sin dmg looks good though

I think if anyone is going into this season thinking sin is clesrly superior they are baked. Its same as last season, preference based

Imagine how fast you build stacks with dot ticks and fok+eb

lone junco
#

@vapid scarab fokfokfokfokfokfokfokfk

#

would eb echo non crits count?

vapid scarab
#

I’m sure

lone junco
#

20 non crits per 4 sec

#

grats 70% crit?

vapid scarab
#

For spriest it was basically just permanently up cus of dots

#

So they had to have changed it or put some kind of limit/icd

#

That’s just so broken for only a minor

lone junco
#

sure. they arent the only ones prob. Warrior bleeds would do the same.

vapid scarab
#

What did they do to it

lone junco
#

as they do.

#

FUN DETECTED

#

certainly. else run 0% crit mongo haste.

vapid scarab
#

Do you know what the icd is?

ruby idol
#

:)

warm harbor
#

yeah sas is correct, they added an ICD to the minor

#

retired*

vapid scarab
#

I mean without even knowing what the icd is how can you say it’s dead

lone junco
#

anyway Essences > Relics.

unkempt karma
#

The blood one, what do we need to do to get it?

#

Seems you need to have a pvp rank?

vapid scarab
#

No

#

Just farm honor from bgs

unkempt karma
#

and was it 50k?

vapid scarab
#

R1 is a quest, r2 is an achievement for 15k honor, r3 is an achievement for 50k, r4 is an achievement for 100k

unkempt karma
#

Holy macaroni!

vapid scarab
#

You can track your progress in the achievement panel under player vs player>honor

unkempt karma
#

its nothing that can be achieved by having anything done already?

vapid scarab
#

No, you need to do the achievement

unkempt karma
#

Gotcha

#

I see it, thanks

dark crag
#

Last week was bg week, best chance

warm harbor
#

@unkempt karma don't be too put off by it, alot of my friends have farmed it already (however they did take advantage of the weekly event) but overall its not too bad at all and honestly its kinda fun if you do it with friends

#

but till even losing an epic bg now gives you like ~700 honour

vapid scarab
#

Next bg week is aug 13th iirc

dark crag
#

Its 50k honor flat and not 15 + 50k

unkempt karma
#

@warm harbor - Thanks mathew, will keep that in mid.

vapid scarab
#

Just depends how much you like bgs or not. I wouldn’t look at it as a final destination, just queue and have fun screwing around in some battlegrounds

unkempt karma
#

Used to do them in the past, but since legion not really. Only got like 60k kills

vapid scarab
#

The more you turn it into a grind and check after every bg how much you have left to go is just going to make it more annoying

#

Just have fun and spam queue bgs a few nights without checking how much longer you have to do it

odd rampart
#

Is it more effecient to que with rbg premade?

vapid scarab
#

If you win yes

drifting cloud
#

isnt rbgs another essence?

dark crag
#

And watch the enlisted bonus

drifting cloud
#

the rated pvp one

dark crag
#

When you get honor in bgs it counts

vapid scarab
#

C&S is a different essence yes

shy grove
#

is there an essence command

#

!essence

prisma monolithBOT
shy grove
#

oh nice

#

so like is there a certain amount of haste i want as sin or what

#

cause mastery is simming higher

vapid scarab
#

That’s how stats work

#

The more of one stat you get the more valuable the rest become

#

If you put everything into one stat then you’re going to see a bigger gain from putting stuff into another stat than continuing to stack just that one stat

shy grove
#

neat

#

theres not like a % of haste i want tho is there

#

like a cap

#

or anything

vapid scarab
#

There are no breakpoints or caps

#

Just sim top gear and equip what it tells you

shy grove
#

ez thanks

visual quartz
#

the Blood is honor, not honourable kills? that seems more reasonable.

warm harbor
#

honour from pvp islands/bg's/epic bg's only, honour from quests and world PVP doesn't count

dense blaze
#

The BG honor quests count

#

Do those

vapid scarab
#

Not sure what you mean but ashran/AV have quests that count

surreal solar
#

Benthic gear worth anything for us?

rigid mango
heady raven
#

is focused resolve breaking stealth for anyone else?

odd tapir
#

yes, to all 😃

supple monolith
#

is [Highborne Compendium of Sundering] any good?

rigid mango
#

nvm it gone

#

it's aight, yeah

#

sim it to see diff

supple monolith
#

Oke thx dude

vale quest
#

Wait so this nueral silencer blue card i put into my trinket is stopping my tricks?

#

how do i take it off

vapid scarab
#

put something else in it

#

take off the trinket

vale quest
#

thats the only blue card i had

#

damn

meager nebula
#

that card is the worst thing ever designed

vale quest
#

fuck lol

#

so i can't ever use my mechagon trinket now?

vapid scarab
#

put another card in it

vale quest
#

were do i get another blue

meager nebula
#

some rares drop one

#

scrap king for one

vapid scarab
#

let me google mechagon blue punchcard for you

vale quest
#

thanks

vapid scarab
#

anti grav one seems p cool

spice cloak
#

fluff cards

vale quest
#

tbh don't mind those things in a mmo

#

as long as the other 2 effects are OP

vapid scarab
#

well i hate to burst your bubble but

vale quest
#

lol

vapid scarab
#

other than the one you get from revered they aren't

vale quest
#

maybe from M+ mechagon if it ever comes?

#

its an okay concept

vapid scarab
#

the concept is fine the effects are just undertuned compared to other trinkets

white basalt
#

for offhand, 400 dager with socket or 415 with no socket? assuming same dagger

#

quick need to know whether to bonus roll lol

south horizon
#

Had the exact same situation last night. 400 w socket simmed higher

#

Your experience may vary

strange python
#

did gems get hotfixed?

#

saying they give 50 now

#

unless i havent been paying attention

cobalt pelican
#

yeah, the hotfixes are posted on mmoc/wowhead/twottererer

tribal marlin
#

Any sims of red card right now ?

#

I'm curious about one red card in particular

#

the one that deal damage on use and increase damge of next use

#

I wonder what cd it has

spare flame
#

Has anyone rolled on a socket on a benthic item today?

#

*rolled a socket

tribal marlin
#

me

strange python
#

I have

spare flame
#

Luck is so terrible i was getting concerned it was stealth nerfed with the socket

tribal marlin
#

If I can give you a tricks

#

you can log on some toons

#

do quickly the first quests in Nazjtar that give a bunch of pearl

#

and use thoose pearl to buy item that you can send to your main

#

so you save the pearl on your main for upgrading

rancid blaze
#

So do these benthic pieces have to have sockets in order for them to be good? Or just rolling to get them

tribal marlin
#

not necessarly but it's quite a waste to upgrade one that do not have socket

#

especially since you can farm Pearl with toons to send to your main

rancid blaze
#

yeah i guess that makes sense

arctic walrus
#

55 should get you there

lean coral
#

dem sockets T_T

cobalt gyro
#

two of them are fake

lean coral
#

420 atm with 0 sockets

#

still trying to get benthic boots with one

rapid aurora
#

how much type of bentic boots ?

lean coral
#

what

rapid aurora
#

nvm

cobalt pelican
#

4

quiet totem
#

I have done so many rolls on boots. Still no socket feelscryman

lean coral
#

same dude

#

same

#

i got a socket on pants from a wq

eternal salmon
#

is there a sim chart for benthic gear?

quiet totem
#

Pins have the pieces. Just want to roll for a socket on them and upgrade to 425

#

Then you will pretty much keep them all raid

cobalt gyro
#

so with high haste I can't seem to spend energy fast enough

#

i feel like inside TB/Env windows i should just spam mut LOL

lone junco
#

env still bangs

#

but youll def be able to pop them mme mme mme mme pewpewpew

cobalt gyro
#

deeper is pretty even

lone junco
#

yeah, ive watched some of seli's DS runs.

#

but between lucid majors, youll probably regret unless you can get some ruptures out.

cobalt gyro
#

well this is a ST sim, so i should have rupture out

lone junco
#

i meant on ads

#

anyway. lucid looks good for sure.

#

the minor refund is really sweet

naive sentinel
#

!essences

prisma monolithBOT
white basalt
#

best way to pad m rasta? 😃 got 2 SS and running sub btw

#

mainly talking about opener

cobalt pelican
#

there isn't anything special to it really, garrote the 3 ads vanish and garrote 2 ads + rastakhan (or 3 adds if not possible) in pandemic timer

#

make sure you vendetta first available global and it should be up in time for the 2nd totem so you can vanish garrote the totem and rasta with vendetta

#

and then just.. do the same when the ad cc breaks as it lines up with vendetta normally anyway and continue pressing your buttons

errant viper
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
cobalt gyro
#

yeah i kinda thought it'd go something like that

#

less haste, more mastery because too much haste and you can't spend energy fast enough with refunds lol

ancient onyx
#

Mastery seems really fucking strong with Lucid im already at 1,45k and it still sims as the highest value stat

white basalt
#

yea i feel like lucid makes haste waaay less valuable

cobalt pelican
#

just get life force and go vers and start tanking in raids

#

ez

white basalt
#

even when im not using the on use ability, im definitely capping energy alooot more

heavy charm
#

anyone using blood and lucid atm? do we save blood for vend each time?

sullen sphinx
#

fellas should we be using force multiplier instead of the usual enchants on weps

vapid scarab
#

you should sim it

rancid blaze
#

force on one hand and highest stat of nav on the other

vapid scarab
#

not necessarily

rancid blaze
#

this is true at least for me it is

sullen sphinx
#

idk if its lucid or what but my stat weights are fuckin wonky now

vapid scarab
#

okay so
what part of it's true for me at least has any relevance at all to anybody else

sullen sphinx
#

keeps going back and forth between haste and mastery for best

white basalt
#

only rogue there

rancid blaze
#

sorry

sour badger
#

!essence

prisma monolithBOT
spice surge
#

@white basalt Your bleed uptimes are rather meh, they should be over 95%+ both of them, ideally 98%+

#

And you should be using vanish with vendetta everytime (except the first obv, since you have stealth garrotes from opener)

#

You're just using vanish randomly and barrely using garrotes after it

white basalt
#

thx for the input. for some reason i just do relatively really bad on that fight compared to other fights. should i bother bother rupturing everything?

visual quartz
#

thats an odd question

strange python
#

Does Overwhelming Power stack?

meager nebula
#

the haste portion stacks yes

ornate gazelle
#

Why are frost benthic wrists good but not the gloves?

mint crown
#

!weakauras

prisma monolithBOT
muted cove
#

If we do a +10 this week are we going to still get a 410 item or is it going to be increased?

strange python
#

Anyone know how to add the major essences for your sim?

karmic kite
#

is it normal for r2 crucible to be simming higher than r2 lucid on a pure ST fight

trail cypress
#

depending on how much haste you have, probably

karmic kite
#

1700 and a galecallers since i dont have uunat trinket

#

i guess it makes sense

vapid scarab
#

@ornate gazelle because the bracers do more damage

ornate gazelle
#

@vapid scarab I guess I should have clarified better; why not both?

vapid scarab
#

because the gloves don't do more damage than you would get from a 445

#

and the bracers do

vapid scarab
#

idk they weren't simming high for me earlier

vale quest
#

Assassin > Outlaw in season3?

#

But math and science

#

They can guess climate change but not outlaw v sin?

ancient onyx
#

i mean ripping is gone so assa might be viable

#

but it's a long shot imo

drifting cloud
#

"viable"

#

assa is still a top5 spec in m+

#

just because outlaw is nr1 doesnt make assa bad

vale quest
#

And that new affix ug otta kill someone fast

ancient onyx
#

as in mdi spec

drifting cloud
#

assa was played in mdi

ancient onyx
#

yeah but it was rare

#

u know what i mean...

vale quest
#

but reaping

ancient onyx
#

gotta wait and see 1 more week 😃

vale quest
#

did assassin steal sub's job of priority?

#

assassin jumped came here illegally then

round harbor
#

they gonna nerf the fuck outa benthic gear lol

ancient onyx
#

probably

#

gonna be sad if they nerf it on mythic day after all that grind lol

round harbor
#

i mena there really aint much to grind

#

unless im dumb(very possible) there isnta way to farm pearls right?

ancient onyx
#

rares and shit

round harbor
#

yeah but not a sit here and kill this pack for 5 hours and get 'x' pearls

ancient onyx
#

yeah

#

we should be able to farm ~200 pearls till mythic week tho

#

to get to 425

round harbor
#

assuming you get the piece of gear passively with a socket on it

ancient onyx
#

well you can't upgrade every piece you would like to before mythic

#

i got boots with socket

#

so im gonna upgrade boots

vapid scarab
#

you shouldn't upgrade anything now

#

get the stuff you want at base with a socket then wait for nerfs and upgrade then

round harbor
#

ofc

fickle drift
#

TFW you spent 100 pearls already and didn't think of the nerfs

spice cloak
#

gl getting a socket lul

ancient onyx
#

i spent 120 to get item with socket alone lol

spice cloak
#

oof

fickle drift
#

I only PvP might dabble in mythic+ only just came back to wow. Break from sc2

white basalt
#

They're nerfing the upgrade cost?

vapid scarab
#

no but they're probably going to nerf some or all of the effects

#

so why waste pearls before then

rancid bobcat
#

so belt and boots are the primary benthic gear to aim for right?

#

the phys damage belt or aberration belt?

vapid scarab
#

abberation

#

and frost bracers/gloves

winter moss
spice cloak
#

relax

#

he got an answer

winter moss
#

having the same question asked 100 times a day

#

that could be answered in 1 minute by just clicking one button

rancid bobcat
spice cloak
#

thanks for your input chat cop

civic palm
#

oof

meager nebula
#

I don't see benthic gear getting a nerf

#

In my opinion

quiet totem
#

Yeah it is really only relevant in a single raid. You will still want gear from that raid for other content

meager nebula
#

The belts only good on 2 bosses, the wrists don't have a super high ppm, in terms of damage they won't be near the new trinkets, the boots are probably the strongest out of all of them

quiet totem
#

Also gives a reason to farm perls

vapid scarab
#

you don't see an alt catchup mechanic that's better than mythic raid gear getting a nerf?

meager nebula
#

Not really

vapid scarab
#

lol

meager nebula
#

It's only useful in 2 zones

quiet totem
#

It is really only one piece that is better though

meager nebula
#

If it didn't have the zone restriction, I'd say a nerf is more likely

vapid scarab
#

it's not "a zone"

#

it's the raid

drifting cloud
#

how is it only 1 piece tho

vapid scarab
#

like

#

they balance shit for raids

drifting cloud
#

4 pieces combined at 425 nosocket are currently overll almost 2k dps upgrade for me

meager nebula
#

The only piece that is substantially more powerful than anything else is the boots

quiet totem
#

as in the boots are the strongest I don't think the other 2 are better than a 445 piece

drifting cloud
#

they are

vapid scarab
#

they are tho

#

you can sim them yourself

quiet totem
#

Bracers can't be the frost ones are not that strong

vapid scarab
#

they are tho

#

you can sim them yourself

meager nebula
#

I still don't see the belt or bracers getting nerfed

quiet totem
#

What is the 4th piece? Frost hands?

meager nebula
#

Aren't the hands healing only effects

#

Or is there another piece

quiet totem
#

there is one that will do either heal or frost damage to enemies

#

I don't know how it decides which though

#

actually I assume it is whatever it hits first so not really reliable damage outside of solo content

vapid scarab
#

there are frost hands like the bracers

meager nebula
#

Ah I guess I hadn't seen those

quiet totem
#

"send out droplets which heal allies or deal Frost damage to enemies"

#

different to the bracers as not targeted

inner citrus
#

wait so some benthic 425 will be better than 440 m+ gear? correct me if i misunderstood

quiet totem
#

yes that is correct but only in raid

inner citrus
#

ohwow thats a bummer

#

need more bag space

strange python
#

how are yall simming 36k

drifting cloud
#

cos pants and trinket would give you alot

inner citrus
#

trinket? is this the mechagon trinket?

drifting cloud
#

cos trinket

lusty narwhal
#

Benthic boots

#

And 55 neck

drifting cloud
#

he has 55

icy ember
#

!essrank

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

so, I need cos trinket and benthic belt?

winter moss
#

do you have the boots yet

strange python
#

yes

#

my sim is above

winter moss
#

tyvm

#

so yeah

#

benthic belt and wrists a bit weaker than the boots

#

cos trinket for sure, the benthic stuff if then belt yea

strange python
#

interesting. thank you

#

btw,Lucid and Blood is the move, yea

#

?

warm cave
#

!benthic

tame cobalt
#

@warm cave in the pins mate

warm cave
#

yep see it now

#

ty

tame cobalt
#

boots are best of those afaik

vivid marlin
#

assuming i wanted to get benthic hands would it still be the frost ones?

acoustic atlas
#

Is 3x SS 3x EB the meta for high keys?

#

I pushed 2.4 outlaw last season and was looking to test out sin some more.

inner citrus
#

damn my guild doesnt do COS

modest tendon
#

Most people include 2xTTK traits into their builds now

inner citrus
#

will EP trinket take over COS trinket?

acoustic atlas
#

Alright thanks. I was running 3x ttk / 2x ss / 1x eb but was just yolo doing a couple keys tonight. Seemed pretty solid especially on tyrannical

tropic ocean
#

@acoustic atlas there was pretty much no assa meta for highkeys so

#

Just copy paste seliathan

#

😂

modest tendon
#

3xEB+3xSS is still viable for lower keys let’s say below 18s, it’s just when things start to hurt a lot you need single target priority damage to minimise the danger

tropic ocean
#

It just depends on ur group anyway on my server there was guy 3,1k smth never changing from 3ss 3eb

acoustic atlas
#

Gotcha, makes sense. That much eb prolly isn’t good for bursting anyway.

tropic ocean
#

Bursting isnt too bad of an affix

#

Its more the ss that could be problematic

#

When u want to stop and buffed garrote keeps ticking

#

I mean the eb is controlled by yourself u can just stop using it when u want to drop stacks

acoustic atlas
#

Yeah good point. I just don’t really have the hours put in on sin aside from raiding. And that’s dot dot sleep

modest tendon
#

Just stick with 3xEB, 3xSS for ez mode 😛

acoustic atlas
#

Might be scuffed with no reaping pad

modest tendon
#

For dungeons with bigger pulls it will be fine

#

Like FH

opal meadow
#

What happened to luic dreams on herodamage?

modest tendon
#

Nuking down emissarys seems like ttk builds will thrive but who knows

vapid scarab
#

you don't kill emissaries

modest tendon
#

Sims are changing too much right now, I’m just gunna copy and paste seliathon and hope for the best

#

Void one is killable no?

vapid scarab
#

sure it's "killable"

modest tendon
#

Even though you want to avoid it all costs

vapid scarab
#

the point of it is to make you take a different route

#

you aren't supposed to fight it

woven summit
#

I see many picking blood as a minor

#

So Lucid major, Blood minor

vapid scarab
#

sim your character

woven summit
#

Can't sim both though

#

Still don't have them

opal meadow
#

I just dont get why lucid isn't on the chart

modest tendon
#

I thought lucid minor did all of the damage? Or has that changed?

vapid scarab
#

yes, lucid minor is the good one

#

lucid major is w/e

woven summit
#

aha so blood or flame major and lucid minor then

modest tendon
#

I’d say that makes more sense

vapid scarab
#

sim your character

woven summit
#

Shame I won't have rank 3 essenses though because of being away from home for a couple of days. Can I still raid with rank 2 essenses when I come back? I mean heroic raiding.

vapid scarab
#

nope, literally impossible

woven summit
#

damn

#

I have to clear normal then first anyway

quiet totem
#

100% will be benched

#

jk if that wasn't obv

woven summit
#

Guess need to be looking for guild anyway, no one's coming back as far as I see lol

opal meadow
#

is ripple in space minor any good at all?

#

im not sure how hard it is to activate

fallow otter
#

so... is anyone running sims and their stat weights are all even?>

#

major rank2 lucid

#

including vers 😮

woven summit
#

mastery all the way for me

tropic ocean
#

Wtf

woven summit
#

yeah something similar with me

tropic ocean
#

How much haste crit u have

woven summit
#

only versatility is not second

arctic walrus
#

Are Fathomstalker Coils the wrists we need?

tropic ocean
#

I have 25/22 and its still bestest for me

opal meadow
#

1695 haste 981 crit

woven summit
#

I got 45% mastery

fallow otter
#

check that i havent done some galaxy brain

tropic ocean
#

How is mastery so crazy high for u

#

Is that st statweights?

opal meadow
#

24% crit 24% haste 39% mastery

tropic ocean
#

Do you use cos trinket?

woven summit
#

yes he does

tropic ocean
#

Hooow

woven summit
#

seeing his items on the sim

#

mastery is ultra good with lucid apparently

austere ruin
#

which potion u guys use for opener?

woven summit
#

however, judging by the conversations here, we won't be lucid major anyway, we will go either blood or flame for major

#

untill we get life-force I guess

fallow otter
#

so... whats with the my stat weights?!! lol

woven summit
#

so with that haste is still king

arctic walrus
#

High mastery stat weight isn't uncommon

tropic ocean
#

I know I use lucid

topaz trout
#

lucid takes the requirement for high haste down by a lot

tropic ocean
#

But my mastery is nowhere near this good

tropic ocean
#

Witj similar stats

woven summit
#

How much mastery do you have ausgelebt?

arctic walrus
#

there's my weights

woven summit
#

Do you sim correctly? Do you sim with /simc ?

arctic walrus
#

i'm 23 crit 19 haste 43 mast

woven summit
#

Because if you sim through armory you won't have the essense

topaz trout
#

36k for double ess, makes sense at that ilvl

tropic ocean
#

Of c i di

topaz trout
#

only r2 blood tho 😛

tropic ocean
#

Ofc

#

Mastery is 3.44 or smth

#

Crit 3.78 or smth when I simmed yesterday before raid

arctic walrus
#

I just got both boots and wrists now I just have to upgrade them

tropic ocean
#

Which is weird cuz O have only

#

30% ish mastery

topaz trout
#

what are your traits

opal meadow
#

36k wtf

tropic ocean
#

34%*

woven summit
#

Because I'm going away I'm planning to force the rank 3 blood today. Can I earn 25K honor in like 8 hours? 😄

fallow otter
#

@arctic walrus ok good to know im not the only one

tropic ocean
#

3 dd 1 np 1 bbi 1 ttk

topaz trout
#

thats why

tropic ocean
#

24 crit 20 haste 34 mastery

opal meadow
#

why are you getting rank 3 blood

arctic walrus
#

Only one what

tropic ocean
#

And crit top stat by far with lucid major

topaz trout
#

3 dd 1 np bumps the value of mastery

arctic walrus
#

@fallow otter

woven summit
#

People say it will be a good major

opal meadow
#

it might be but who knows

tropic ocean
#

Except that mastery is not my best stat 🤷🏿‍♂️

topaz trout
#

r3 blood is a good major

woven summit
#

and do you get the benefit out of it from rank 3 as a minor?

topaz trout
#

if you pair it with MA

opal meadow
#

yeah but MA is 3 seconds

woven summit
#

or are we going to use lucid as minor?

fallow otter
#

@arctic walrus stat weights looking like that

topaz trout
#

your opener and vanish resets adds a lot of value

opal meadow
#

pair it with focused resolve, then you're talking

woven summit
#

My azerite gear 420 ilvl is shit for MA unfortunately so going sub

#

with SS traits

arctic walrus
#

Everytime I link one of my sims someone's always shook at 36k are most people no there yet

topaz trout
#

yeah if you run SS

woven summit
#

yeah the other traits are globules and stuff

topaz trout
#

subterfuge is better

woven summit
#

I simmed and it showed less

#

without the SS but with the other

topaz trout
#

if you go MA, you drop SS and go for other traits

i have a fresh 120 rogue gearing and MA has always been better for me when I dropped SS off my pieces
