#

It’s always been like that right - you could play subterfuge and “just get lucky lol”

#

And that will by default do more damage

minor thicket
#

Sorry what do you mean get lucky

bleak spoke
#

With crits

minor thicket
#

Ahh

bleak spoke
#

If you get lucky with crits then ma actually doesn’t do anything in a way

#

Obviously that’s a stupid way to look at it but it’s technically correct the same way subterfuge technically will sim better at these gear levels right

#

In terms of how it feels to pilot, if I play a tb dd build I play vigor and I play ma

#

Cuz it feels natural kinda

sullen knot
#

why subterfuge sims better than MA without SS then?

bleak spoke
#

But it might do less damage

#

I mean I literally explained it

minor thicket
#

He just said lol

#

MA has diminishing returns

#

The higher your crit the less effective it will get

bleak spoke
#

Like early in the tier we were getting around it by literally blooding after ma window

#

So doing openers like m r m g vendetta Tb vanish env muti env bote etc

#

It was like a modest gain on sims to just do that differently

#

Like 200-250 dps for most people

#

Actually just the smallest most insignificant change to not overcap on crit

#

So it kinda tells you where we are gear wise vs playing master assassin

#

So it’s not a stretch from there to think that maybe randomly have 90% more damage on garrote while it may seem insignificant will sim better than just de syncing stuff to space out our crit intake etc

minor thicket
#

In your experience mind you i will SIM shortly. But is exsangugate build best for ST dmg

bleak spoke
#

Yeh

#

Best scaling build and best for fights

minor thicket
#

I’m going to make a build and sim myself

bleak spoke
#

I played exsang on nzoth with literally just the haste on my gear and no expedients

minor thicket
#

I asked this question last night but got a answer I didn’t think was correct

bleak spoke
#

And it didn’t just sim better my first burn was actually like 1m higher on avg

minor thicket
#

Besides the regular opener when do you use exsan next?

bleak spoke
#

Cuz exsang with triple shrouded is giga burst

minor thicket
#

On CD when bleeds refreshed?

bleak spoke
#

You just use on cd

#

And then the exsang at 2:25 you hold your vendetta and vanish for that

#

Obviously if fights will finish before then etc then you hold exsang so you don’t miss a vendetta/vanish etc

minor thicket
#

Same opener GR,Mut, GR?

bleak spoke
#

On nzoth in particular it’s very very strong to be able to vanish garrote both thought harvesters and turn your shitty garrote on the boss into a good garrote

#

Nah

#

Garrote rupture garrote vendetta mutilate to 5+ rupture to overwrite

#

And then exsang

#

And press blood after exsang

minor thicket
#

Sorry I meant rupture

#

My bad

sullen knot
#

that opener was giga fun

bleak spoke
#

You want to basically create a close to max duration set of bleeds

#

Before you hit exsang and blood

sullen knot
#

so much haste for spam envenoms and ur garrote pumping

minor thicket
#

What is bkood?

bleak spoke
#

If you have really really high gear levels then you can play clf

#

And you hit it before vendetta

#

Blood of the enemy

minor thicket
#

Oh lol

bleak spoke
#

But that’s also a sim question

minor thicket
#

Ya ya I use that now

sullen knot
#

bote after or before exsanguinate?

bleak spoke
#

Out of stealth on pull on a boss you can match any other class in burst with equal gear

minor thicket
#

After

bleak spoke
#

And in most cases even better gear than you

#

After

#

You want the globals in blood to be damaging globals

sullen knot
#

aight

bleak spoke
#

And you don’t lose any crit amp time if you press it after

#

Note that exsanguinate snapshots your haste on cast

minor thicket
#

Thanks you’ve been helpful. Now to sim to see if I have enough haste to play exsan

sullen knot
#

gonna try triple SS in nzoth today

bleak spoke
#

One of the few abilities in game to do so

minor thicket
#

I have about 30% haste without procs baseline

bleak spoke
#

So casting it in and out of lust is actually like... well for me it was like 1m+ damage difference on first burn on nzoth

#

So literally in 22ish seconds if I missed lust window like

minor thicket
#

Obv when expedient kicks in I’m well over 50%

bleak spoke
#

The damage just went to nowhere

sullen knot
#

im just thinking in Psychus burst

bleak spoke
#

For psychus you actually dunk it solo

#

I don’t get to vendetta psychus

#

Big sad

minor thicket
#

Anyway appreciate the help @bleak spoke

bleak spoke
#

Mhm 🙂

sullen knot
#

ye so much thx mate

bleak spoke
#

All good

frosty talon
#

cleanse the weapons from cara or keep them with TA?

minor thicket
#

if i dont have 480 Gibberng maw what is another suitable head with SS?

#

i only have 465 Gibbering

turbid osprey
#

one of the m+ helmets must have it

twin bay
#

is there a haste/expedient value in which its safe to say the exsang build is better then DD with 2 cara dagger? i have so many items i would need to cleanse or put sockets on that im a little bit afraid/overwhelmed 😄

tropic ocean
#

no

minor thicket
#

yes likely another part if I dont have the head in 480 is there even a point to running exsan

tropic ocean
#

you dont need to cleanse you can sim every combination in raidbots

turbid osprey
#

probably not ideal though since you cant get hod

#

is there a 'bis items list if you had expedient on everyone' list? or is it just mechagon rings, the 3 azerite pieces, cara daggers and haste crit in every other slot?

warm parcel
#

Do you have 15 ex enchants available?

#

Like you gonna swap out the boots anytime soon?

turbid osprey
#

i have a strikethrough pair i use in a slightly higher than safe corruption set

#

but thats about it

warm parcel
#

Doesnt matter what item you enchant

#

Just enchant something you wont swap for a while

glad compass
#

do w want 2-3 gushing wounds on 485 pieces? i did some gear compare and it seems a lil better than pure expedient

tropic ocean
#

because

#

nerf is not live yet afaik

glad compass
#

this is using the nightly sim

#

it has the nerf accounted for

strange python
#

how do you know?

glad compass
vestal wren
#

koji pushed the gw nerf manual yesterday, thats why its now in the nightly:

digital stone
#

!Essence

prisma monolithBOT
minor thicket
#

is it better to do weekly or night build sim

#

nightly*

vestal wren
#

Its usually better to just go with nightly. But the only diffrence between nightly/weekly is the essence nerf atm what makes it a good option to see the impact.

flat pike
#

How much corruption should I aim for in raids? 39 or 59?

tranquil marsh
#

farm boss 59
progress boss 39

next lily
#

Where can I see the best azerite traits for m+? I want to buy some pieces from vendor, thank you

snow hamlet
#
  1. You don't need SS to play with Exsanguinate. It's good with DD as well and DD might sim better depending on the ilevel and stats of the piece.
#

sorry but what is SS and DD?

mint valve
#

shrouded suffocation

#

and

#

double dose

#

azerite traits

snow hamlet
#

thanks

echo haven
#

Some of you play assa in m+? Which key are you able to time?

scarlet sequoia
#

15

echo haven
#

I really would like to play assa in m+ but it seems that it is a class more for pvp or raid- single target boss 😦

shy axle
#

you can play it just fine in m+

scarlet meteor
#

What do you guys think are the best corruptions to stack for raids and m+?

hollow escarp
#

@echo haven unless you go for very high keys, it's still good

#

it's harder with pugs though

prisma monolithBOT
vestal wren
#

!abb links to an article that sums up all abbreviations

echo haven
#

@hollow escarp what do you mean for very high? Like 19/20?

vestal wren
#

its a good read if you are new/unfamiliar with the spec/class

hollow escarp
#

that's not high

#

I did +18/19 with assa and pugs

last ingot
#

should i take crimson tempest for m+ (15-16 key level)

#

?

strange python
#

oh boy...this corruption shit is getting confusing -.-

zinc furnace
#

Gentlemen. Have 24 Expedient, R3 and R2 Apendages. Sim says all my gems and enchants to be changed to Crit. Does that sound reasonable? Are sims accurate with Expedient?

#

23% Crit, 37% haste unbuffed. 475 galecaller

frigid briar
#

It seems to tell you to gem crit if your below 32%

#

so just go with sims imo

zinc furnace
#

ty

frigid briar
#

I have 52% base haste and rank 14 expedient, Im gemming crit for now because of the off items Im using

shrewd copper
#

24 expedient means 24 % ? Sorry to ask but i'm figuring how much expedient minimum i need to have.

strange python
#

52% haste base? ^^ is there no cap?

junior sail
#

yes they are accurate

#

i have 58% base atm

zinc furnace
#

24 i meant 24% ye

#

the weird thing is that sim suggest crit games and also switch deadly navigatio not mastery one

#

so confusing 😄

strange python
#

so u guys cleansed your infinte stars?

frigid briar
#

yeah, weeeeks ago

#

IS is trash

zinc furnace
#

never used any. i was the acolite of Apendages God

junior sail
#

wait

#

in my sims i forgot to play breath of undyhing

zinc furnace
#

major?

radiant vapor
#

Nice, I finally got a 2nd dagger last night so I’m making the switch to assas finally

frigid briar
#

Elite I wouldnt use that infinite stars piece

#

sim bait at its finest

uncut cape
#

ohh GW still good ohn 485 items 😄

tropic ocean
#

@hollow escarp depends on what u define as high

#

i pugged sin to 3.4k

#

and theres sins that play at 4.5k? or so

hollow escarp
#

yes

tropic ocean
#

basically u can play whatever u like to 4 or even 4.5k

#

wont matter

hollow escarp
#

that was my point as well

#

but yeah, depends on how you define high

bleak spoke
#

^actually doesn’t matter beyond that

#

Keys are scuffed off of people dying to stuff right now

hollow escarp
#

yeah

#

that's why I went full casual and mostly do M+ with my guild

tropic ocean
#

dunno about higher but for 22s

#

more than fine

#

probably even 23s in pug

hollow escarp
#

I haven't reached there yet

bleak spoke
#

There’s not a single deplete in my highest keys played this season where I thought my setup or gear etc had anything to do with why a key depleted

tropic ocean
#

i've not depleted one key due to not having gouge either

#

99% of depletes are people inting on bosses

#

like going to last boss atal 22 using 3 cr and 2dps still dead for 40% of the fight

hollow escarp
#

also silence from garrote is pretty good quinEthical

#

and the wire talent

bleak spoke
#

My depletes are all deaths from different people or in like maybe one or two edge cases the route

tropic ocean
#

yea

#

same here

#

and at least for me

#

never dps issue

#

well actually dps issue

#

but due to ppl dying

bleak spoke
#

No dps has never been the issue so far

tropic ocean
#

XD

hollow escarp
#

well, I rarely do more damage than my fire mage

bleak spoke
#

Yeh

hollow escarp
#

but usually I'm not 3rd

tropic ocean
#

like resetting first boss fh

#

3x

#

cuz ppl cant dodge bird

#

🙂

hollow escarp
#

can't see bird bro

bleak spoke
#

Yeah that kind of scuff has nothing to do with specs or even gear really

hollow escarp
#

yeah, but the community bias has a lot of influence

bleak spoke
#

And most depletes are that kind of scuff

hollow escarp
#

the best guild in my realm has a survival hunter that is pushing keys

bleak spoke
#

I’m of the opinion that the only time specs and classes matter is survival

#

In a high key

#

If you can’t live a mechanic

#

That’s a hard wall right

#

It’s rarely anything else

hollow escarp
#

I managed to deplete an +18 underrot and people blamed it on comp PepegsFavoritHat

bleak spoke
#

Like right now windwalker isn’t bad because it does no damage or whatever like in raid

#

Ww actually owns in keys

#

It’s just that they kinda get owned

#

By like

#

Everything

willow pulsar
#

I got kicked from a party for 20 waycrest after key owner realised i am sin not outlaw player

hollow escarp
#

exactly, the community affects that a lot

bleak spoke
#

Tbh if ppl do that you don’t want to play with them to begin with imo

#

Because that means they’re probably bad and it’s manifesting in a negative way

willow pulsar
#

I play an outlaw sometimes just for memes and never can reach numbers i do on sin

bleak spoke
#

Sin has better raw throughput this tier

#

But a spec you play often and play comfortably will almost always outperform one where you don’t

willow pulsar
#

I believe that with corruption vendor we will get beyter

hollow escarp
#

I like assa but I only have a 480 azerite piece for sin, I rolled another one yesterday and it's an outlaw bis, I might try to get a weapon and do some keys with outlaw myself

#

the avoidant corruption will be fun for M+

willow pulsar
#

Can't wait to get my hands on those severs and strikethrough

bleak spoke
#

Idk I wouldn’t consider avoidant pieces unless I were getting oneshot by stuff despite feint

#

Cuz anything avoidant gives damage reduction to can be feinted

hollow escarp
#

it's definetly not a DPS increase

#

so another stat corruption will be better

bleak spoke
#

Like there’s three moments that come to mind where that corruption seems really insane right

#

The vent jets on first boss of workshop, crawgmaw tantrum and doubles on explosive bursts on korgus

hollow escarp
#

I did have some fun with tendies in M+

bleak spoke
#

Yeh I’d stick to damage corruptions

willow pulsar
#

I think i am gonna get two severs for tyrannical weeks

hollow escarp
#

maybe have an avoidant corruption on a piece with a tertiary stat for situational plays

willow pulsar
#

Tfu, gushing

bleak spoke
#

Just because tendies isn’t optimal or whatever doesn’t mean it sucks imo

hollow escarp
#

tendies are better than infinite stars for M+

#

if you kill an ad, the tendie attacks another

bleak spoke
#

Well yeah is actually does in fact suck

willow pulsar
#

Tendies are ok but i don't like the huge rng factor

hollow escarp
#

I like to see people complain about my top damage ability 🙂

bleak spoke
#

Yeh but if you don’t have other options then definitely better than nothing

hollow escarp
#

I got lucky with rank 7 tendies

bleak spoke
#

And better than other options that aren’t even vaguely good

hollow escarp
#

1 x III, 2 x II

bleak spoke
#

Yeh I got a rank3 early in the tier as well

#

I don’t really have many strong feelings about it, can’t think of many times it’s been awful, can’t think of many times it’s absolutely popped off either tbh

hollow escarp
#

I got some crazy procs with it

#

but I never really complained it didn't proc

willow pulsar
#

I did two kr runs, i had a huge variance in dps on tendies, one did 12m other 7,5

#

Also you want tendies to deal dmg to bosses, the second run had two bosses with one proc only xD

hollow escarp
#

yeah, now that we have the corruption vendor I will limit the tendie and go with stats

#

not sure what yet

#

but will sim and farm echoes

#

or just ask in every discord and twitch chat what is best corruption

urban minnow
#

does TA act the same being if its on a weapon or armor? no difference in damage scaling or anything?

willow pulsar
#

Just ilvl

urban minnow
#

ok

steel holly
#

When it comes to arena are we going to stack gushing post nerf due to its reliability? Or do we build around versatile or mind flayers?

urban minnow
#

cuas ei dont have carapace daggers but i just got TA on a 475 piece from 5 mask

willow pulsar
#

470*

urban minnow
#

eep yes

pliant token
#

How I aoe in m+? Just focus on 1 target but use fok instead of muti?

pseudo hamlet
#

Subterfuge -> use 3x garrote on each target

#

In the pins:

M+ AoE Openers
With Crimson Tempest talented
G1 G2 G3 CT FoK R1 BotE 5xFoK

Without Crimson Tempest
G1 G2 G3 R1 FoK Env BotE 5xFoK

pliant token
#

ahh big thx

#

and then focus on 1 target?

#

but fok for muti?

pseudo hamlet
#

No, it depends on the situation.

pliant token
#

didnt found anything in ravenholdt guide?

pseudo hamlet
#

If there are still multi targets -> use FoK and put rupture on them(to keep energy gain). Then just FoK+Envenom. If you have CT -> use it(but only if you have more targets) etc.

pliant token
#

ok thx, i will try 😄

tropic ocean
#

slowly getting there 😄

grizzled trail
#

also getting there

#

got one expediant in bags but goin to wait till wednesday. see if i get a decent piece to put it on (legs please)

tropic ocean
#

just need cara chest

#

and some more exps

grizzled trail
#

just wondering if the TA on weapon will always be worth keeping

tropic ocean
#

dunno I gonna purge it once I got more expedients

sick scarab
#

mm lol

tropic ocean
#

cuz ta is rng bad

sick scarab
#

messin around woht stuff

#

dunno if it worth to swap stuff

#

thougts ?

deft obsidian
#

Probably asked a few times but is GW nurf live for raidbots?

limber lion
#

I'm so tilted that my main had 0 echoes before the update and I managed to grind 2 Expedients and now it's going away already. Meanwhile my alt warrior got 3 expedients without much trouble because he had 10k stockpiled already :') I'm gonna be far behind everyone else for weeks now. Ugh.

#

Yes @deft obsidian

tribal marlin
#

you'd better off buying strikethrough before it left and come back in 3 month kekw

tropic ocean
#

you shouldnt tilt or be mad about it

#

don't think it takes 3 months

deft obsidian
#

It rotates twice a week, it'll be a month max

#

Give or take kekchamp

tribal marlin
#

ye I just hope they will not like put the same corrupt on multiple rotate

#

and some other once very 21230 rotation

storm nymph
#

Random question, which Mech ring is better...the 3 ability one or attacking from behind?

cobalt pelican
#

behind

storm nymph
#

thought so 🙂

fierce vine
#

has anyone tried ineffable stacking + 3x NP

uncut cape
#

hope GW will be on sale soon

grizzled trail
#

commited to the bleeds

tribal marlin
#

I would like to buy so many expediant 😦

#

but ST has priority for m+ ...

deft obsidian
#

3 mins kekw

finite moss
#

@fierce vine woah sick idea, i might have to sim that

grizzled trail
#

all about those 3min sim. gotta make myself look strong

#

3min is the only way u will get shrouded to sim higher 😛

frigid briar
#

is there a ST fight that isnt 3 mins?

#

or close

wicked comet
#

never understood why all the sims are 5 mins for patchwerk

static glacier
#

because during prog they can take 5 mins I guess?

frigid briar
#

I just look at kills previous week then sim for that amount

deft obsidian
#

Farm wise, little take 5 anyways but yeah just a prog bench mark

static glacier
#

at this point in time with how overgeared we all are compared to release

#

yeah simming 5 mins seems silly

deft obsidian
#

With exception to wrathion/n'zoth etc;

grizzled trail
#

Yeh so stop shitting on me ereb:(

deft obsidian
#

Sorry bro, can't help it as people do the same to me 😦

static glacier
#

nzoth and wrathin are helter skelter

#

anyway

#

not patchwerk

deft obsidian
#

Helter Skelter though, worst sim package eu

frigid briar
#

We will be simming 1 minute by september kek

static glacier
#

29 second sim ytho

grizzled trail
#

Yup and we will be bottom dps

deft obsidian
#

And I meant kill time wise for farm, not so much patchwerk

grizzled trail
#

Parse 99 bottom dps

frigid briar
#

remember simming for those 17 second fel reaver kills

static glacier
#

why exactly are we so erm, not optimal atm

frigid briar
#

cancel aura macros ect lol

deft obsidian
#

But on that topic @grizzled trail I also committed to the bleeds having finally gotten Ra'den helm this clear, I dig

urban thistle
#

does haste increase the tick rate of garrote/rupture/poison? Not a sin player

static glacier
#

yes

urban thistle
#

is there a breakpoint?

static glacier
#

no

#

the last tick is not full power, breakpoints don't really matter

#

based on how close you are to next tick

#

hastewise

urban thistle
#

oh, gotcha

#

and that would hold true for a level 80 sin rogue, as well, correct?

#

I'm playing sin for a herald of the titans run

frigid briar
#

I assume there will be points where you gain an extra tick for each ability, never looked into it that much but I guess because haste buffs so many spells you just keep pumping it

drifting cloud
#

is sin even good at 80

frigid briar
#

is that ulduar?

urban thistle
#

yea, well, sounds to me like there is a breakpoint, but you would have to know the duration of the fight in order to determine it

#

yes, algalon

#

everyone has to be 80 with ilvl 100 or less gear

#

and yes, sin is amazing

static glacier
#

there used to be breakpoints, but with haste adding dmg to the final tick till it's full dmg then adding a new, weak tick there's no major breakpoints really

frigid briar
#

fight time wouldnt matter for break point if there was one

urban thistle
#

yea, ^^ that's news to me

#

Yes it would lol. There would be a finite amount of haste you would need in order to get 1 more tick of each DoT

frigid briar
#

how long the boss lived wouldnt matter though. its about gaining ticks per rupture cycle?

#

it wouldnt be 1 tick for whole fight

urban thistle
#

but assuming 100% uptime, it'd be the same, just one would be the first number * number of rupture applications

#

it's effectively the same measurement

#

unless I'm super misunderstanding how the dots work

#

but re application doesn't reset tick count to the start, I assume

static glacier
#

thing is, gaining a tick doesn't do anything

#

since the tick would be piss poor dmg

#

if you just passed the extra tick's breakpoint

urban thistle
#

But I thought only the final tick of the DoT did reduced damage

static glacier
#

and outside of empowered garotte we don't really let any dot tick its final tick

urban thistle
#

So I'm at 43.21% crit, and 10.70% haste, and I'm wondering if I should drop crit for haste. The gearing options are pretty limited, though

drifting cloud
#

you are overcomplicating for no reason

tribal marlin
#

you do unless you refresh out of pandemic range which you should not

urban thistle
#

I see

drifting cloud
#

if anything just sim stat weights if its even remotely accurate for lvl 80

#

to see if theres some huge differences

frigid briar
#

for herald of the titans it dont matter shit, the bosses still melt anyways right?

urban thistle
#

That's the thing I am thinking, I want to do sims, but I don't even know if they'll work for a level 80 character. I guess I could make one

static glacier
#

are you struggling to down the boss?

drifting cloud
#

for gems, since not like you can swap alot of gear for herald anyways

static glacier
#

if not just run with what you enjoy

urban thistle
#

Yea, but I wanna min max!

#

never even pulled the boss

static glacier
#

sim yourself with a haste setup

#

see how it does

urban thistle
#

I don't wanna just be #1 on my friend group's meters, I want to make 2nd place look bad

#

yea, but what sim profile. I'm thinking I might have to create one for an 80 rogue

grizzled trail
#

Haste is a lot of fun, can’t even empty my energy if I wanted too

frigid briar
#
static glacier
#

armor pen

drifting cloud
#

like I said the only gear you can really swap is gems

static glacier
#

😮

urban thistle
#

You actually can't swap gems lol

#

There is a single gem that is just far and away the best

#

no question or competition

drifting cloud
#

well then not like you have insane amount of options

#

how many slots even have more than 2-3 items

#

the budget from sockets is just insane on that gear

frigid briar
#

AP gem everything

urban thistle
#

almost none

#

but I mean, is 1 haste worth 1 agi and 1 crit? probably not

#

what about 2 haste?

#

this is what I'm wondering

drifting cloud
#

like have you even tried simming it

#

why did you assume it wouldnt work

static glacier
#

in that case perhaps just sit at a dummy perfecting your rotation

#

gear seems set in stone

#

you can sim gear compare if you want an answer to that question

urban thistle
#

I don't know how to sim a level 80 character, and that's why I'm here, to see if anyone has any ideas

#

aside from writing my own apl

#

which I really don't wanna do

drifting cloud
#

do you lose any core abilities outside of tb

urban thistle
#

And yea, I would do the target dummy comparison if I even had the gear to test with. Hard to get BiS when everything is on a weekly lockout

#

No, I have everything else

drifting cloud
#

the default apl should be fine or?

#

or does it not work at all

#

and then the biggest question would be if assa is even good for herald

urban thistle
drifting cloud
#

if you wanna demolish people .P

urban thistle
#

It's supposedly amazing for herald

#

the only thing that it is supposed to lose to is a BiS fury warrior

drifting cloud
#

as long as you have gear and do basic assa rotation should be fine then

#

we used to do it with half the raid in heirlooms

urban thistle
#

I mean, I killed the boss on progression however many years ago, but I have no idea how faceroll it is these days

#

either way, it's fun min maxing, it's basically pve twinking

drifting cloud
#

its easy, then sometimes blizzard scaling breaks the boss for a bit every other xpac

#

in mop or whenever people would like 5 man it or something like that

urban thistle
#

can't do it in heirlooms these days

then sometimes the boss would not give achiev or just 1shot the tanks, those sort of things

how you rotate deffensive?

well you press one defensive and then you press another

#

guys which corruptions should i have for pvp?

tropic ocean
#

versa %

frigid grotto
#

i just stack versa?

#

the more the better? xD

lone junco
#

20 haste plus verse stack sounds nice.

#

Tendys get dead too soon these days. Used to be a lot of fun.

frigid grotto
#

ye thats what im thinking

#

i think in goin to purify my tens

#

in order to get more vers

tall rose
#

I have a question. When i run top damage its telling me to take a Echoing void r2 over a void ritual r2. Both have the same corruption.. On the St chart it shows that VR is way ahead.. Why would it be telling me to go EV R2. Am i missing something?

distant lava
#

because the chart isn't adapted to your gear

#

that's why you sim yourself instead of looking at it

tall rose
#

i did sim thats why asked.. Guess ill go with it.. just thought size for szie vR would of been better.

drifting cloud
#

EV for assa? thats kinda weird

tall rose
#

yea

drifting cloud
#

I know vr isnt anything special but ev is pretty dogshit for assa

tall rose
#

but the ring has like 200 more haste and i have 2 r3 exp and 1 r2 atm.. i guess maybe thats why cause it has more haste

drifting cloud
#

thats a more likely reason yeah

stable isle
#

Did you have void ritual allies enabled?

tall rose
#

i did not.. i prob should do that sim again

#

That fixed it.. Thanks Jayb

Mindflay2 vs +12% vers for pve+pvp?

#

or another way: is vers crap for pve?

strange python
#

Mindflay is crap for PvP. People just tab kill it

lone flower
#

Question: I was looking at openers with subterfuge and some are doing garrote>mutilate>mutilate>rupture and some garrot>mutilate>garrote>rupture, whats the difference/the right opener? (all openers were played with vision major, 3x nothing personal and toxic blades)

analog phoenix
#

the only option for mindflay is when you play with DISC and he is smart enough and fast enough to shield it

quasi scroll
#

I play like 80% pve

outer lotus
#

or play at low ranks and people dont kill them

quasi scroll
#

I know mindflay sucks for pvp... but is it dumb to get vers for pve?

verbal sparrow
#

Boiz, Which one to keep (for Exa 3 and I can make a hole for socket tho)

#

I wonder which one to corrupt, because those 465 have good stats but I'm afraid I can drop better ones

calm lily
#

get a socket on the left one and then corrupt it right?

verbal sparrow
#

yep

#

but I wonder if I should do it since it's 465 but with bis stats

analog phoenix
#

I'm so uncertain if I should keep the two expedient IIIs I just bought. they are just such a minor gain dps wise and I could just invest all into outlaw m+ gameplay, have a lot to gain there. but then again, removing one IS piece for these will also make my fights just way less random

shy axle
#

My normal sim (3x DD, bbi, hod, NP) simmed at 90,6k prior to the gushing nerf ( r6 TA/ 2 gushing) 88,6k now. I get 93,6k with bleed build and 93,1k with DD instead using a truckload of expeds and 1 or 2 severes. Any tipps how people get the jump to 100k+ ? Do the extra ilvl from the chest make that much of a difference? Hard to picture it for myself whats the thing that makes it better.

tropic ocean

more expedients

#

485 weap

475 vita

more sockets

also at some point haste essence will outsim lucid too

zinc furnace
#

is x3 exp too much?

or there cant be too much expedients

tropic ocean

there cant be too much basically

#

after some time u want 1 racing pulse or so

with rest expedients

zinc furnace

i hit 249% haste at ine point

with 3 expedients?

O_o

are u using racing pulse on rest

or wat

zinc furnace

o have 475 gale and other procs

When i go for td 4 i go td3 + 1 But why Not 2+2 is there any difference?

zinc furnace

wait for weekly chest

guys thoughts on three rank3 expendiant + one rank2 expendiant pieces ? ^^ or would that be to much ?

distant lava
#

@upper elm no difference excepts the stats that change from your items

grizzled trail
#

I run 3 rank 3 and two rank 2

#

Secondary’s on my items aren’t amazing but all my stat weights are fairly close which is nice

ruby notch
#

K ty, got several sims running ~.~ waiting for output ^^

deft obsidian
#

I’m currently R14 Expedient and R3 Pulse. I tried simming into more Expedient but falls short of Pulse

zinc furnace
#

envy u. sims trokls me every time. like i changed crit gems to haste, theb upgraded 1 item and it says switch all 6 gems back to crit

deft obsidian
#

Like @grizzled trail my stat weights are just about equal

zinc furnace
#

and whilenit suggests socketing xrit it removes deadly navigation for mastery one

#

kill me

grizzled trail
#

Just go with what top gear says

#

The difference is so minor it really doesn’t matter

deft obsidian
#

Yeah I can regem and enchant a few bits but we’re talking 120~ dps

So I’ll stay as is

lament dove

I didn't play for months and now I'm just casually gearing in m+ at 463 with a crit setup, not sure if I will mythic raid before Shadowlands, should I still stack up some expedient from Mother, or is there something else to consider?

It sims better for me

hallow coyote

I'm at 41.85 pre buffs and it still simms better

coarse solar
#

Can anyone explain to me exactly how Exsang works? Reading it, I thought it would double the speed at which my bleeds tick down, but it actually just seems to cut a big chunk of time off of them (50% of remaining duration?) and deal all that damage at once? Experimented with it in m+ today and had decent results but not really sure on the best way to use it yet

hallow coyote
#

Yeah it halves the duration and keeps the damage the same

#

It's good priority damage cause you take all the damage from empowered garrotes and pandemic'd Ruptures and frontload them

coarse solar
#

Yeah that’s what I was doing and shot up to like 150k DPS on a single mob. Fun to use for sure, just not sure whether it beats out TB. Seems easier to use and works better with SS/Sub

@coarse solar so you're saying that an ability that makes dots tick twice as fast reduced the duration of them by 50%?

grizzled trail
#

I personally think TB is much easier to use than exsang

#

Exsang is fun tho takes a little more forward thinking

tranquil moat
#

Anyone here running sin in m+?

crimson palm
#

So instead of the dots doing full damage in 36s they do it in 18 sec,?

primal turret
#

is there any essence worth buying atm?

coarse solar
#

@coarse solar so you're saying that an ability that makes dots tick twice as fast reduced the duration of them by 50%?
@crimson palm yes, but it doesn’t actually line up with what the tooltip says. The tooltip says bleeds deal damage 100% faster, NOT bleeds deal half of their remaining damage at once. Hence why it was confusing

crimson palm
#

It makes perfect sense

deft obsidian
#

Deeper strat simmed higher at rank 11 expedient and as DDx3. Just with higher haste levels it becomes a much better choice

junior flume
#

Do you let the bleed run out entirely before reapplying after popping exsang? It's been ages since I've played with exsang,

lament dove
#

yes, otherwise you overwrite ticks from the empowered bleed

deft obsidian
#

Empowered is full drop off, non-empowered is just under the usual 5secs

junior flume
#

Yea that's what I thought, I just didn't remember, been ages 🙂

deft obsidian
#

But yeah reapplication won’t be affected by exsang

junior flume
#

So if you exsang with non empowered garrote then you refresh at 5.3 as usual?

scarlet sequoia
#

you never refresh exsang bleeds.

junior flume
#

Alright, it didn't make sense to me that you would, but I'm just a pleb. Always nice to know for sure 🙂 Thanks y'all

scarlet sequoia
#

np bro keep at it

deft obsidian
#

How’s the sim looking @scarlet sequoia. Did you hit your goal of R3 prior to vendor swap

scarlet sequoia
#

its looking good sir

i have bought 7 expedients and i have 20k echoes left

did you had echoes before or farmed 3s?

anyone know the ammount of haste needed for exsang build to work?

vast forum

it works at any levels 🙂

#

but TB works better at certain levels and it's not a specific number

ripe gulch
#

currentyl havd 47% haste

#

feels underwhelming

deft obsidian
#

I’m now at 52% and feels smooth.

ripe gulch
#

yh it feels smoot

#

smooth but weak

deft obsidian
#

Got a raid bot link to check gear @ripe gulch

junior flume
#

Only 41 here too, but noticed that haste food gives about 2% now with 3 expedient

deft obsidian
#

With vita proc, overwhelming power & racing pulse. You get some crazy haste levels that’s for sure

fleet whale
#

it's pretty much heroism, in fact it might even be better

ripe gulch
#

also should i run racing pulse instead of one of the severes

lament valve
#

sword or dagger

scenic nacelle
#

I'm assuming raidbots already has the Gushing nerf active, right?

drifting cloud
#

nightly has it as of yesterday or today yeah

scenic nacelle
#

Going to have to cleanse gushers now to have an ethical sub 40 set

deft obsidian
#

Depends @ripe gulch, you run a top gear sim yet? Pulse sims really high for me currently

fluid bough
#

Is assassination a viable spec to run as your main spec if you’re only doing m+ and pvp or am I limiting myself by not playing outlaw in m+? I’m just now starting rogue, coming from demon hunter where I’ve gotten bored.

grizzled trail
#

Assa is completely viable in m+

fleet whale
#

yes it's viable to main in all content

grizzled trail
#

Sure it’s not as good as outlaw but it’s fine

scenic nacelle
#

Biggest issue is getting all your echoing blade azerite from the vendor

royal lantern
#

SS

#

not eb

#

you dont go 3x eb all the time

#

you ALWAYS go 3xSS

fluid bough
#

So can I run the same pieces of gear in pvp and PvE if I play assassination?

drifting cloud
#

not really

fleet whale
#

no not really

royal lantern
#

eh, no

#

want different stacks in pvp AND different stats

#

in pvp vers rules

grizzled trail
#

I mean it depends what level you’re planning on playing at

fleet whale
#

trinkets are gonna be different

#

azerite traits will likely be different

honest silo
#

Assassination probably has the most amount of combinations of azerite from all the specs I play

fluid bough
#

2k is my goal with a friend. He’s starting a mage and I’m starting to play rogue.

grizzled trail
#

Yeh you will@need different sets then

fleet whale
#

if you're gonna go 2k you'll need to verse

#

and trinkets probably

fluid bough
#

Okay I’ll worry about that when I get there I guess lol I am still low level.

fleet whale
#

the pvp channel here may be able to help you more though, the spec channels are pve based generally speaking

fluid bough
#

Okay once I start gearing I’ll definitely go talk to them some

#

Pvp is really my secondary though. M+ is much more fun atm I think. Even though I’ve only pvp up until BFA.

honest silo
#

problem mostly comes to M+ wanting a lot of crit and pvp wanting as little as possible

slender wolf
#

hi guys, is there a specific channel for rogue pvp?

#

Hello guys, i recently notice that most best rogues have change talents from Master assassin (crit) to Subterfuce + 3SS (with many haste)

#

Do you know why it's better?

Because i don't see the difference..

ripe gulch
#

yup

#

cant get shrouded to sim above 90k

#

😦

#

maybe i need more expedients

whats the new opener now ? with subt,ds, exs and bote ?

If the sims is telling me that SS and heart of darkness is better then DD, should i just fallow the sim or just run DD?

#

2 questions from me: is exs-build viable in m+? and what's the opener? like 2x garrote out of stealth, rupture, exs?

primal turret
#

I tried it this week and works fine

deft obsidian
#

I tend to run it regularly with literally just my raid ST setup as I’m not pushing above 20s and I’ve no EB azerite. Pumps around 90-100k overall

primal turret
#

in large mobs your damage isnt that high

deft obsidian
#

And that is running BOTE with no TD shit

primal turret
#

but is really good in bosses

ocean drum
#

ye, kinda bursty, i guess. should be tending to use pandemic on garrote & rupture before using exs over the fight while keeping exs on cd, am i right?

deft obsidian
#

Probably still got combat for fort weeks though. In tyr weeks the trash dies before garrotes drop

primal turret
#

In a situation where there is a priority target you should garrote on 3 targets, rupture on the main one and ex

#

You are right ereb

ocean drum
#

ye, right, ereb

primal turret
#

Works this week with tyranical

wicked comet
#

does garrote still have that bug where if you do a regular one after doing subterfuge ones it does less damage

vast forum
#

no

drifting cloud
#

incredible

vast forum
#

it's been fixed for over a year and a half now

wicked comet
#

not played since uldir

primal turret
#

I didnt knew that it was fixed

vast forum
#

@ocean drum opener is g-r-g-vend-mut-rup-exsg-bote

tropic jackal
#

wait so i dont need to wait until garrote drops off completely to refresh?

vast forum
#

no no

#

there used to be a bug

#

where if you put subt garrotes on 3 targets

#

and then normal garrote on 4th

#

the first 3 would lose the subt buff

jolly star
#

w8 w8 w8, so if i get 3x SS garrote and refresh it after subterfuge it's still doing bonus damage for original duration?

vast forum
#

and they would all be weak

tropic jackal
#

ohhh i see

vast forum
#

@jolly star no

jolly star
#

oh

#

gotcha

#

just read the explanation @vast forum , nvm 😛

vast forum
#

i personally prefer assa on fort

#

on tyrannical, bosses live the awkward amount of time where you don't really get a 2nd vanish/vendetta

#

but also the fight is long

primal turret
#

It depends on the key level

deft obsidian
#

In fairness you can kind of play whatever if 10-19

#

I still tend to play sin in higher keys as my DH/Mage blows shit up

jolly star
deft obsidian
#

Outlaw is just if I’m being lazy and want to face roll my keyboard through a key

jolly star
#

i hate this statless shit

gleaming viper
#

whats the opener now on single target with the new build ? (SStraits, subterfuge, DS, exs, bote )

vast forum
#

if you have a ton of aoe in your group, like fire mage/dh/bm, i find assa's dmg profile much better than outlaw's in higher keys as it really shortens boss fights

#

i think we need a proper exsang guide...

#

every 3 minutes someone comes in here asking about SS/exsg opener

drifting cloud
#

they still would

vast forum
#

if you scroll up 10 messages, you get the answer

jolly star
#

opener is g-r-g-vend-mut-rup-exsg-bote

vast forum
#

that's with bote

#

if running CLF and you trust your grp to not pre-pull

jolly star
#

he asked about bote

vast forum
#

you use CLF pre-combat, stealth-g-r-g-v-m-r-exsg

#

o yea he did 😄

gleaming viper
#

ok ok ty !

deft obsidian
#

I agree @vast forum even as outlaw we are there for control and utility. Any DH/BM etc will destroy us on trash unless some godlike TD procs. Sin does actually bring some good value and even more in specific dungeons

jolly star
#

but sin trades damage for utility

#

u don't ks on cd 😛

You don’t 👀😂

jolly star
#

i bte in pools way too often

vast forum
#

now, i'm not saying assa is better than outlaw, but i often play assa in my group for melting bosses

untold current
#

I see alot of logs with exsang/bote, is that a preference or are there sitautions where its pref. I would assume that CLF sims higher for most bc of the haste?

vast forum
#

CLF sims higher on 5 min but there are no 5 min ST fights in ny'alotha

jolly star
#

@untold current high end gear favours it a bit

deft obsidian
#

Yeah combat definitely has more control. But also can hit like a wet fish versus others

vast forum
#

i personally find assa has better dps than outlaw (bear in mind, i have no raden weps)

#

in m+

jolly star
#

idk, it's hard to pull off ~15s of 300k dps as assa

vast forum
#

it's really not

jolly star
#

where as outlaw u press 3 buttons and smash

vast forum
#

if you have a 6 target pull with vanish off CD

jolly star
#

haha

vast forum
#

6 garrotes - bote - fok spam

jolly star
#

yeah, but thats 2min downtime before u can repeat it

vast forum
#

i mean, you get 150k dps easily every 3-target pull if you get a restealth between pulls

jolly star
#

and god forbid tank chainpulls

vast forum
#

the problem being that at really high keys, you often want to chainpull

deft obsidian
#

Like don’t get me wrong, trash is relevant as is boss damage depending on the week but again, on a fort week with your DH running BOTE, Fel Barrage and TOS poison trinket. You don’t need more cleave 😂

vast forum
#

for example, a lot of groups do motherlode trash before first boss in 1 long chain-pull

deft obsidian
#

And yeh, you need restealths 😂

#

And instance like KR for example is a pretty solid sin dungeon. Lots of medium sized packs etc

vast forum
#

i'd say assa is just strictly better than outlaw in KR

#

and in workshop

ineffable truth is doggy dog

#

there's an entire corruption box below top gear

topaz valley
#

Okay thanks

strange python
#

i tried to sim with corruption but it doesnt want to put corruption where i want it to be in

cobalt pelican
#

does it matter

#

if you're planning a different upgrade path expedient on one piece of gear or another is 0 difference

strange python
#

i want to purify everything and just add the haste% corruption and it just say current gear is better

steel holly
#

What will become top arena corruption?

cobalt pelican
#

why would you want to purify everything

#

i'm confused

#

top gear literally takes your gear and adds whatever corruptions you tick to any piece of gear and duplicates the sets

gleaming viper
#

@zerf raidbot can only add 2 corruption and it will be on random stuff except ilvl scale corruption

strange python
#

the current on i have on are not good

cobalt pelican
#

versatile/surging vitality/gw for pvp probably

#

in which order idk

#

but versatile is a safe bet

strange python
#

increase crit by x amount stack by 5 and such is what i have

cobalt pelican
#

why would oyu want to remove that from your gear thoug

#

i don't get it

#

unless you're trying to sim yourself in 2 months

strange python
#

so i can stack haste

cobalt pelican
#

?

#

how many expedients do you own

steel holly
#

Ty nameless fairy

strange python
#

1 atm

cobalt pelican
#

ok well

strange python
#

but trying to set up

cobalt pelican
#

you're stuck with 1 for now, so probably just top gear your gear with a single replacement expedient 3 so you can find your best gear?

#

upgrade paths are complicated

#

there's actually 0 reason to try and figure out your gear for in a month

vital haven
#

if it says current gear is better my suggestion would be not to cleanse everything

worldly sandal
#

so no cara dagger again last night team. tilted because two other rogues in my guild got it on their first run through- we let alts/non regular raiders join heroic now.

vital haven
#

i feel like people are getting a bit obsessed wihtt eh 100k+ sims

worldly sandal
#

5 weeks in a row sadpepe

vital haven
#

those come with time, dont start whole sale cleansing your gear

dreamy cypress
#

if you really want to sim some super specific major overhaul of your corruptions/gear just use gear compare

deft obsidian
#

Indeed. It’s a good bench mark but ultimately gotta roll with the punches

lime edge
#

did blood mallet update with bugged stars

#

rofl

#

before stars were also at 0.19

cobalt pelican
#

infinite stars hasn't been changed..?

lime edge
#

tooltip is bugged

cobalt pelican
#

yeah but no changes have been made at all

#

either ingame or in the sim

lime edge
#

then why did it go up

#

what

verbal sparrow
#

When I have only 4/12 M which azerite items should I go for when I cant have the Il'gy, Raden, Vex nor Carapace? Gorak's and ?

cobalt pelican
#

i can't say that i really keep track of bloodmallet relative dps gain charts, i'd assume all that happened is that they regenerated their profiles

#

goraks, slithering loa/maut and cephalohide probably

verbal sparrow
#

Im going for SS exsang build tho

cobalt pelican
#

uh

#

i mean forcing it without mythic gear is going to be rough

#

but if you insist

#

irontide/gorak(or extravagant)/type 2 bomber jacket are probably best? idk if there's a better helm than ss/ttk

sly shoal
#

There's a NP/SS helm idk if that's good though

verbal sparrow
#

I have bomber, trying hunt gorak but i have gold tasseled and I have gibbering maw from Raden

dreamy cypress
#

Cowl of Fluid Machinations has NP/SS

#

Also 2 M+ NP/SS chests, but idk how those sim

cobalt pelican
#

probably pretty badly compared to goraks/clockwork pieces

#

idk on helm, both dust pieces sound like ass and i wouldn't be surprised if heroic r aden is better

#

should be easy enough to check though i guess

thin gate
#

wait

#

the sim says gushing wound > expedient

#

right

#

but expedient stack is better than gushing wound isnt it?

#

i mean raden+wrathion trinket un full expedient stack should be stronger or not

#

on high haste build

primal turret
#

Idk about wrathion trinket on sims but in combat it isnt that good

lime edge
#

@thin gate are u talking about bloodmallet

#

if so, bloodmallet isnt updated with the nerfed gushing

#

no sims are

#

until the patch goes live

fleet whale
#

raidbots nightly is updated with the nerf

lime edge
#

is the nerf live?

fleet whale
#

no, but raidbots nightly has already updated for it

#

hence my sim dropped by a little over 1k

lime edge
#

oh ur talking about the version

#

right?

fleet whale
#

correct

lime edge
#

not weekly

#

gotcha

kindred pelican
#

Is it worth to try to save exsan for haste proccs due to it snapshotting or should it just be used on cd? My haste fluctuates between 53% to like 160% so its very inconsistent.

lime edge
#

probably not worth saving

#

but if u have galecaller's for example

#

u want to use that right before u exsang

kindred pelican
#

Yeah, that makes sense. I play raden and plumage so i'll just go for it on CD

last sandal
#

Hey all, quick question. When running Elaborate Planning, is it worth letting buffed Garrotes/Ruptures expire or just keep reapplying as usual?

vestal dagger
#

As far as I know, never refresh a buffed bleed early

lime edge
#

u can with another buffed bleed

#

no?

loud brook
#

Honestly, I never even think about planning around elaborate planning anymore

last sandal
#

That's what i had been doing, haha.

vestal dagger
#

I don’t think anyone plans around EB, and it’s probably ok to refresh a buffed bleed with a buffed bleed that’s in pandemic range

loud brook
#

That reminds me

vestal dagger
#

Not 100% on that

feral creek
#

Does rupture snapshot EB?

last sandal
#

Okay, yea, I thought that it'd be fine like that, but it popped into head and really couldn't find snapshot details

loud brook
#

If I run exanguinate, do I let my bleeds tick off or can I refresh them during the regular pandemic range

cobalt pelican
#

after you exsanguinate you let the exsanguianted bleeds fall before refreshing

#

everything else is standard

feral creek
#

U want to let them run out and apply when them gone

cobalt pelican
#

and idk what you mean by snapshot eb

loud brook
#

For sure

#

Ty

fleet whale
#

I guess he/she meant snapshot EP?

vestal dagger
#

Oh I wrote EB above when I meant EP.

feral creek
#

Yeah EP I mean in the window from ep apply rupture will buff rupture for the entire duratiom?

loud brook
#

I thought our dots updated each tick

fleet whale
#

Too my knowledge it's dynamic, i could be wrong but the only things that snapshot for assassin are nightstalker Rupture and subt garrote

loud brook
#

Only like feral druids still have snapshotting

feral creek
#

Okay👍🏻 thank you

loud brook
#

Oh yeah, forgot about subterfuge garrote

tiny fiber
#

what should we be putting our expedients on haste crit pieces? haste mastery?

cobalt pelican
#

everything is dynamic for rogue dots besides haste on exsang

loud brook
#

I like haste crit because I have most haste crit gear

#

I'd imagine the same holds true for haste mast

fleet whale
#

I just choose my highest ilvl pieces on my ST raiding set to put exp rank 3 on

#

most of them happen to have haste though

loud brook
#

From my sims before corruptions, all my stats were really close to each other

#

With rank some expedient it's still all even

minor thicket
#

At what point does switching to exsangugate make sense. I was only able to buy one expedient. Currently my exsangugate build and my normal subterfuge build sim within 1.5k of each other.

#

Nvm I read the Pin

urban minnow
#

@jolly star what do u do go@grind 5k

slim oxide
arctic walrus
#

that's not really a thing

#

you just need better gear

slim oxide
#

so atleast 20% haste not reasonable ?

#

i mean for mplus btw

royal lantern
#

haste in m+ is not really a good stat

#

less value then your other stats in aoe, and m+ is aoe for most of the time

slim oxide
#

so i should just go crit mastery fully ? @royal lantern

ocean drum
#

in exs build i let garrote & rupture run out fully, right? pandemic refresh is overwriting, isn't it?

royal lantern
#

@slim oxide ye

ocean drum
#

kk, ty (:

royal lantern
#

and ye, you let them run out and at the moment the timer is at 0 you immediatly put a new bleed on it for 0 downtime

#

otherwise you would,well, waste a big chunck of exsang

tropic ocean
#

crit/mastery or crit/vers with echoings in fortified weeks

ripe gulch
#

ez boys

ripe gulch
#

thats hive

prisma perch
#

I am Derias some help?

vital haven
#

gz @ripe gulch

slim oxide
#

@royal lantern i still think its weird not running haste

royal lantern
#

crit has its main value cus of,well, how EB works, how CP generation with FoK works, crits on multidotting etc.....

#

mastery makes all your bleeds/poisons stronger, and a big part of your dmg in m+ is garrote

#

haste makes "only" your energy reg higher(wich is not a real problem in aoe), autoattack speed(doesnt matter in aoe) and tickrate of your dots(not as much dmg increase as your other stats in aoe)

#

haste is the big boi for st, in aoe other stats simply have more value

#

MAYBE somone here knows a haste heavy m+ build im not aware off, but i honestly dont think that

tranquil moat
#

Anyone here playing sin in m+?
Not high keys, like 10-15?

faint harness
#

yea

keen pumice
#

yes

worldly sandal
#

^

#

im floating around the 12-13 area right now

scarlet sequoia
#

i read here earlier

#

111k being max sim

#

this is not true sirs

#

with my current gear i can reach 114k at max corruption

strange python
#

Well shit. So I need to be sad I missed out on buying haste corruption 😦

cobalt pelican
#

it'll be back

#

some day

faint harness
#

last time

#

it shwoed up

worldly sandal
#

ill just be happy when i can finally buy some infinite stars

#

ive gotten everything else at this point

cobalt pelican
#

what for even

#

i don't think i've played with stars on any of my gear on my rogue since the first 2 weeks of the patch and i don't really plan for that to change

worldly sandal
#

mostly the single target bosses, because itd be nice to have it for those

#

but on that note, i heard someone talking about people taking stars in high keys during tyrannical weeks? is that actually a thing?

cobalt pelican
#

no

#

MAYBE ta but even that seems to just not be worth when stats are insanely good at everything

#

but i wouldn't invest echoes in a stars piece ever for anything if i were you

deft obsidian
#

Not been on since vendor flip, what's up?

#

Anything of use huehue

worldly sandal
#

versatile 3

cobalt pelican
#

vers if you pvp is about the only functional thing

worldly sandal
#

i think is the only good one

jovial haven
#

people arent excited for siphoning and avoidant?

worldly sandal
#

i cant even use leech corruptions on my pally since i already have TD3 and expedient so no
