#

that ones less likely, im on 0 residuum

#

and i hate farming m+

tropic ocean
#

well you dont need to farm it

#

but just do a weekly key

#

and every 2 or 3 week u can roll one 480 azerite

#

depending on key height

#

you cant really farm azerite vendor gear ๐Ÿ˜› so no hassle

last crown
#

mechagon haste ring worth the effort? or mythic nya rings will surpass/compete with em

tropic ocean
#

cant compete once geared

#

mecha > all

#

due to 100% haste buff uptime, especially with expedients

#

even 465 socket ones are stronger than 475+485 ring

faint harness
#

Ilvl on rings isnt that big

last crown
#

so start farming m+ mecha... ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

tropic ocean
#

im in the same boat

#

I got 2x the proc one but not the trigger one ๐Ÿ˜„

green moss
#

is haste ring in workshop or junk?

tropic ocean
#

this one is workshop

#

trigger one junkyard

green moss
#

ye I got the trigger one already

#

not a big fan of junk, glad I don't have to farm it there lol

lime edge
#

i like junk personally

tropic ocean
#

yeah same

lime edge
#

one of my favs

tropic ocean
#

pugs cant really int

last crown
#

recursion or division seem equally fine - no?

tropic ocean
#

cuz u can just carry with bots

lime edge
#

junk pretty easy

tropic ocean
#

division > recursion

#

cuz no brain 100% uptime most fights

green moss
#

ye it's easy, just boring imo

tropic ocean
#

and you dont need to stand exactly behind buss

#

boss* but more like in a 180ish angle or smth

#

every 15 sec to proc it

grim trellis
#

you guys think Expedient still best even for M+ ?

tropic ocean
#

no

raven mica
tropic ocean
#

expedient wont be good for m+

#

you dont want/need haste in aoe

grim trellis
#

I got around 40% crit. you think Mastery corruption would be better

tropic ocean
#

sim your character in aoe

last crown
#

@raven mica so theres a clear upgrade to division over recursion, but small enough that it seems like it won't be noticeable in reality

tropic ocean
#

but most likely you will end up with crit % and crit dmg

raven mica
#

Keep in mind that overclocking ring is 475 and I have loads of expedient, so it might be even less.

grim trellis
#

cool thank you

tropic ocean
#

it depends on your class as well

#

you dont really press 3 different spells as sin a lot

#

๐Ÿ˜„

raven mica
#

Well in AOE situations ur gonna have to actually think about proccing recursion

grim trellis
#

btw how do you sim for AoE? Hectic Add or Cleave Add or Dungeon Slice ? any recommended

tropic ocean
#

4-6 mobs

#

40-x fight duration

raven mica
#

And itโ€™s a lot harder to proc it on assassination than unholy

tropic ocean
#

depending on your key lvl and pullsize

raven mica
#

Cuz it requires a reapplication of ur dot

grim trellis
#

cool thanks a lot

raven mica
#

Take it as you will.

last crown
#

fair

#

time to spam mecha i guess

raven mica
#

Just be me

#

And get both out of ur weekly chest

last crown
#

thats how i got my socketed deadeye

lime edge
#

wow

#

lucky

#

still need to do a 15, only done a 14 this week

upper elm
#

Im after my first raid with expedients stacked

#

not sure about it tho

raven mica
#

Oh itโ€™s so fun having that much haste

green moss
#

still salty that I wasn't able to get any echoes on my rogue

urban minnow
#

Does your weekly chest loot pull from the dungeons you did that week or just pulls random from any dungeon?

distant lava
#

random from any dungeon

urban minnow
#

Just checking

torpid zealot
#

is 12% haste stack for assa worth?

#

or only with exsang

junior flume
#

I'm sure the sim is right ๐Ÿ˜„ Just curious why it is

scarlet sequoia
#

thats fine do what the sim says

#

theres no real answer to how much haste u want

junior flume
#

Yea I am, just wanted to try to understand why

scarlet sequoia
#

and simply stacking haste without any thought being put into it is not the correct way to do it

#

its just when you get a ton of expedients then haste will obviously be better

#

expedient stacking is probably not gonna be the best if your gear has very little haste tho

junior flume
#

Yea it's been haste for me so far, but getting that ring changed all gems to crit over haste

scarlet sequoia
#

so its still very hard to give a real answer, with good and ideal gear, yes expedient stacking will be best

junior flume
#

Alright, yea that makes sense. Will see what happens when I get more expedient ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks

lime edge
#

once u start getting more expedients

#

haste will have more and more value

#

thats all

torpid zealot
#

ok so stacking expedient is worth doesnt matter or exsang or not?

lime edge
#

yea

#

even if ur not exsang u stack it

junior flume
#

Yea just found it strange that I replaced a non haste with a haste ring, so I got more haste but it then wanted me to swap to crit gems ๐Ÿ™‚

rancid bobcat
#

do u want to play font

strange python
#

okay

unborn pendant
#

Dumb question, but how do I play the Exsang build? How does the Subterfuge+Exsang opener differ from the MA+TB opener?

#

I can't really find anything up-to-date about it.

junior flume
#

Default opening is Gar -> Rup -> Gar -> Mut till max cp -> Rup -> Exsang, I think. But I'm not a pro ๐Ÿ˜„

unborn pendant
#

Also, another dumb question

#

What's the macro that can alternate between two talents again?

minor thicket
#

I assume expedient 2 will come up obv before expedient 3 again. Would ex 2 be worth buying

unborn pendant
#

You're getting robbed blind if you buy the 2s, if what us mages found with Masterful 2 last rotation is any indication.

white wyvern
#

@unborn pendant
#showtooltip
/cast [talent:6/2] Toxic Blade
/cast [talent:6/3] Exsanguinate

unborn pendant
#

Thank you!

minor thicket
#

Ah ok

vestal dagger
#

There arenโ€™t tons of details around about the standard rotation with Exsanguinate. Iโ€™ve been assuming that outside of vendetta Windows you treat it for your bleeds like toxic blade would be played for your envelops.

#

Envenoms

#

Wait until bleeds are as large a duration as possible and hit it

#

Just feelycraft, though. You could always look at your sample rotation in the sims.

#

The pins say that at best itโ€™s within 1.5% of toxic blade

lime edge
#

u can also check what ur sim does

tropic jackal
#

anyone here doing 4-5 mask carries as assass?

lime edge
#

in terms of abilities

white wyvern
#

@tropic jackal yes

tropic jackal
#

what traits are you running for them? @white wyvern

white wyvern
#

triple SS

#

Escsang

tropic jackal
#

is exsang worth with only 2 ss?

white wyvern
#

Prob still be fine. The only "hard" part is Rexxar.

unborn pendant
#

I'm running 2 ss right now and it's one of my better sims atm

hoary crown
#

How long do you think it Will be before exp r3 is up again?

unborn pendant
#

But I'm running a BUNCH of gear comparisons atm

#

4.5 weeks

hoary crown
#

Ripskii

#

Well shitloads of time to bank echoes

winter ermine
#

@unborn pendant can you elaborate on why R2 expedient was bad for mages? I assumed that it costing 3/4 but giving 3/4 of the haste amp would mean its fine

#

By cost I mean the corruption cost

unborn pendant
#

So basically...

#

If the prices were scaled correctly, the Rank 2s would be MUCH cheaper than they currently are.

#

So you're effectively wasting a bunch of Echoes for every Rank 2 you buy, and they're overall still worse because of just how good DPS/Corruption the best stat ones are.

#

I think Imfiredup did some calculations on it and you're effectively wasting like 300 Echoes for every Rank 2 you buy.

winter ermine
#

Ah I see, thanks. If you're able to farm plenty of echoes over the next 4 weeks though I guess it's not horrendous

#

Just don't fancy waiting a month, wasn't able to farm for exp3 as much as I'd have liked

rancid bobcat
#

it's overall not that big of a loss

winter ermine
#

The loss as I understand it is only a time investment loss through echoes rather than actual dps loss

rancid bobcat
#

pretty much

#

unless you want to go balls to the wall with parsing while using 90 corruption

#

buying r2s is the safe choice given the vendor is random

night vale
#

Hmmm, VoP major with 3xNP is simming highest for me at the moment, 100k sim with 38 corruption!

winter ermine
#

Very frustrating they couldn't have just added all corruptions and ranks to the vendor...

grim trellis
#

you guys think there will be a BiS list now with the advent of corruption vendors

hoary snow
#

on pure ST in raids,, do i save BotE for 2nd vendetta no matter what or only if it's my last usage of the fight? say it's a long fight, how would i use it otherwise?

grim trellis
#

I think playing with BotE major you usually have VoP minor so they always line up get a 2nd input though

shy dust
#

No you donโ€™t.

#

If youโ€™re using blood you use it with vendetta

late tusk
#

weakauras!

shy dust
#

Using blood major doesnโ€™t mean you use vop minor

#

!wa

ty ๐Ÿ˜„

fathom flax
#

My sim seems a lot lower than it should

#

Is it just my trinkets?

candid jasper
#

anyone playing exsang in m+

balmy condor
#

a lot of people

#

idk if its most people

#

but its a lot

rigid eagle
#

so in mythic+ is haste still the top stat?

balmy condor
#

no

#

crit

#

you can multi-dot, so you just are flooded with haste/energy

#

same thing

scarlet meteor
#

There seems to be a few exsangs at the top level

balmy condor
#

thats a sick site

rancid bobcat
#

subcreation is kind of poop for m+ since it relies on log data

balmy condor
#

oh

#

rip

rancid bobcat
#

not many people log m+

#

i mean it's still useful

balmy condor
#

I know seliathan plays exsang

rigid eagle
#

its also kinda hard to see the full build of ppl who do the runs

balmy condor
#

and seliathan is daddy

rancid bobcat
#

it's just different from r.io

#

you can at least trust a build is doing well if it has a 25 logged

#

but it won't tell you what's most popular directly

#

but r.io can be deceptive too

#

just dont use it blindly

rigid eagle
#

man this crit vs. haste thing is really annoying lol

#

so crit and crit damage loses value in single target

#

but for M+, haste is worthless?

balmy condor
#

not worthless worthless

#

just worth, less

rigid eagle
#

lol

#

do you still need expedient 3 for M+ then

balmy condor
#

realistically, if you aren't doing anything higher than like a 17 or 18, you're probably okay without making a full crit set

#

ideally, no exped

rigid eagle
#

ok

scarlet meteor
#

So how much corruption do you think is ideal for m+?

rigid eagle
#

but how much haste do people go for in raid sets then?

balmy condor
#

less than 40

#

hella haste

#

more than you think, and then some

#

I've seen sims with people running exped14 with full haste gems and chants

#

and they want more haste

scarlet meteor
#

So is having a bunch of exped better than having say infinite stars 3 and stuff?

balmy condor
#

infinite stars is probably better for pure pure single target

rigid eagle
#

i mean infinite star is for people who have the luck to keep proccing it right lol

balmy condor
#

but why would you rely on RNG

#

and then the moment you have a second target

#

IS is worse

#

its just not worth it

rigid eagle
#

and for exsang in m+

balmy condor
#

if you really want to RNG cheese, stack mind flay

rigid eagle
#

u go crit

heavy forum
#

Mind flay is fun

rigid eagle
#

like toxic blade?

scarlet meteor
#

Does the same go for M+? So like instead of having TD you stack the crit increase?

balmy condor
#

TD is more viable than IS if you're making that comparison

#

but similarly, the crit is consistency you don't get with TD

#

toxic blade build wants exped in raid and crit in m+ as well

#

the stat stacking doesn't change on build, exsang just needs lot of haste

heavy forum
#

Ah coolbeans

rigid eagle
#

wait but since exsang needs a lot of haste

#

dont u still need to stack haste in M+

balmy condor
#

no

#

because you're multi-dotting

rigid eagle
#

then we're getting haste purely for energy in raids right?

#

to get our passive to tick more?

ember iron
#

Q: What should I sim for with approx 472 gear ya reckon?

balmy condor
#

85ish

#

hard to tell tho

sinful island
#

What gear should I sim for raid for assa? Crit/verse/haste? What's generally the best?

rigid eagle
#

@balmy condor im kinda confused by how exsang build does dmg tbh

#

toxic blade has like 0 cd

#

but you only get two exsangs with every vendetta

sinful island
#

haste > crit > mastery > vers? I thought mastery was bad. It's just so I know what gear to sim so i can be under the raidbots cap

eager delta
#

mastery gets abit better now with triple shrouded

balmy condor
#

there's guides posted everywhere

#

pins also give good info

#

@rigid eagle exsang does huge burst

ember iron
#

hard to tell tho
@balmy condor ok so 47k is shit then? ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

eager delta
#

if your triple dose id say vers pulls ahead of mastery though

#

at least for that order

balmy condor
#

47k?

#

holy

eager delta
#

47k is bad yeah lol

balmy condor
#

yeah thats yikes as hell

ember iron
#

someone help me

balmy condor
#

send me the sim

ember iron
#

shall i send you my sim export

balmy condor
#

just the raidbots link

ember iron
#

k

#

im messing with my gear a lot (as i have so much) but heres the latest

#

FML people lol

balmy condor
#

quick-sim

#

yuck

#

this is a m+ set

ember iron
#

yeah im an m+

balmy condor
#

then why are you wondering why your single target sim is so bad

eager delta
#

then probs wanna sim multi lol

ember iron
#

because of this:

balmy condor
#

crimson tempest and all 3 of your echoing blades traits

#

are completely unused

ember iron
frigid briar
#

sim says no flask food or potion

eager delta
#

rofl

frigid briar
#

how did you get into a 17 ?

#

not being rude btw

ember iron
#

im 2k rio

#

done all 15's fine

#

just that dungeon i had a terrible time

eager delta
#

what was the key?

#

urh dungeon

ember iron
#

SoB

frigid briar
#

did you have poisons on Yikes

ember iron
#

LOL

#

I really need some help

frigid briar
#

I dunno, I think you can log m+ right? mabey worth loggin one and taking a look at whats up

lime edge
ember iron
lime edge
#

thats a virus

#

the x is fake

ember iron
#

honestly, its an output of my SC

eager delta
#

imo not worth playing echoing on sob, echoing is more for giga pull dungeons like freehold or something

#

at least imo

lime edge
#

sob is one of the harder dungeons

ember iron
#

imo not worth playing echoing on sob, echoing is more for giga pull dungeons like freehold or something
@eager delta that makes sense

#

did a motherload and i did GREAT with echos

eager delta
#

yeah motherload would be dope

#

but think of the average mob count per pull in sob

#

its like 4-5 or so tops

ember iron
eager delta
#

echoing wants like 5+ imo

#

lock was destro or demo?

balmy condor
#

thats a dh

#

oh

#

wait

#

that is a lock

#

nvm

ember iron
#

Destro i think

eager delta
#

hm

#

yeah honestly dont think its a case of you being bad or anything, just went too heavy into the aoe setup when you probs just wanted to be prio dmg

#

especially with devs and stuff on top of that

ember iron
#

ok theres all my shit

#

i fell overloaded

#

lol

#

(thats what i tried to link btw, it made it a .txt)

balmy condor
#

yeah you're just mega aoe on a tyrannical week in a key that isn't aoe

#

also don't use void ritual

frigid briar
#

yeah playing crimson on tyrannical weaks is sketchy af tbh ( worse in some dungeons)

balmy condor
#

ye

drifting cosmos
#

You have pretty decent corruptions really

#

I just stuck with like r4 mind flay forever

balmy condor
#

the issue is he got flamed for having bad boss damage in a tyran key

#

and his corruptions dont help him with that

drifting cosmos
#

Big disadvantage in aoe heavy places

balmy condor
#

he's geared straight into aoe

frigid briar
#

try making sure you have vendetta for start of bosses on tyranical, use poison bomb and use a potion on pull even if its a cheap agi one

#

goes a long way on 2-3 minute fights

balmy condor
#

I ran my exped set this week tbh

ember iron
#

This is my stress, i have too many options with r3 MF ring and then alternative with good TD build

balmy condor
#

was fine

drifting cosmos
#

Put some rng mind flays in, don't think you can go too bad on bosses

#

TD is bad in st, especially with low haste

#

Other than just get your basics right, stats/rotation etc

ember iron
#

So would you wear the MF ring over the other stuff and rest of gear try max CRIT?

drifting cosmos
#

This week? A lot of dgns yes

#

TD feels like just padding for us

ember iron
#

I agree, it feels that way - if im lucky i get most of my damage from it

#

but dont most?

drifting cosmos
#

And certain haste wouldn't hurt, it just ' feels' better

#

Like what dgn you talking about

#

Tyran weeks trash just melts already

ember iron
#

Motherload i smashed it with TD's

drifting cosmos
#

And if you wait longer when ppl have better corruptions

ember iron
#

(+ 3xeb/ss)

drifting cosmos
#

A lot classes can aoe

#

I mean you still play 3ss and eb

#

But corruption wise you can be more st focus

#

I mean in my level 17-18 I haven't seen many beating me in boss dmg

#

And play vision on bosses help a lot, you get 2nd vend in most of the time

ember iron
#

this?

faint harness
#

Ive found 3 SS, 2 HoD, 1 EB to be quite good this week

drifting cosmos
#

Yea it can be, all depends on mob count and pulling

faint harness
#

In pug groups its really good, cus they usually dont pull big

drifting cosmos
#

Yea pugs route are pretty predictable if you done a few

faint harness
#

Most of them prob play the weekly dratnos route

#

Did 7 junkyards today, and almost every tank did the same pulls

#

Very predictable

drifting cosmos
#

Depends on the tank io I think

#

When tank has like 2.8-3k+ he pulls some MDI tricks here and there

#

But other than that pretty regular

faint harness
#

These tanks were like 2k-2.5k

#

At most

drifting cosmos
#

Yea then should pretty regular routes

#

I mean with regular pulls I don't even see if ol is better

faint harness
#

Its kinda annoying when they chainpull tho

drifting cosmos
#

It is lol

#

Hello UR 2nd boss room

faint harness
#

I had tanks chainpulling even tho its necrotic

#

Like wtf

#

You can play around it, sort of

#

By staying behind

drifting cosmos
#

That's when eb is good to pad dmg in chain pulls

faint harness
#

And kill the last mob of previous pull

#

You can get stealth off

drifting cosmos
#

Yea fall back when the mob almost die

faint harness
#

I usually tell the tanks to pls dont chainpull

drifting cosmos
#

That's most annoying part for both sub and sin

faint harness
#

"just play outlaw then"

#

Fucking fucks

drifting cosmos
#

Lol

faint harness
#

Not as painful as sub tbh

#

You miss out on 1 buffed shadowstrike

ember iron
#

would you wear a 445 for the rIII TA?

faint harness
#

Scales with ilvl

#

Prob not

rigid eagle
#

lol @faint harness tell them to let you restealth once. Quit the group if they do it a second time.

faint harness
#

Yea well i cba the drama

#

So if they do that i usually make sure to linger

#

And get stealth off that way

rigid eagle
#

meh if they don't want us to deal dmg they won't have our dmg

digital shore
#

I recently came back to the game and am quite new to corruptions. For M+, do I want this week's crit corruption or is it another?

rigid eagle
#

not my key not my problem

faint harness
#

Yea its kinda dumb, but arguing with pugs

rigid eagle
#

dont argue man

#

again, just ask for restealth once

#

if they don't listen just quit xD

faint harness
#

I got really pissed once today tho, you know the last boss in junkyard, you channel the thing

#

And tank stays behind to finish it

#

This fucking tank went down first

rigid eagle
#

lmfao

#

TD tank's gotta proc his TD man

faint harness
#

So i asked if he's stupid

rigid eagle
#

he don't care if the group passes

faint harness
#

Yea

#

Its mindboggling honestly

#

Vengeance dh of course

rigid eagle
#

tbh what's mindboggling is blizzard giving tank damage that scales with their hp

#

wow is like 100 years old, they know what the playerbase is like

#

they let tanks do dps, and the tanks are 100% gonna turn their brains off

#

xD

faint harness
#

Yeo

#

One of our tanks equipped over 80 corruption on a boss last reclear

#

Multiple tds ofc

rigid eagle
#

LOL

#

nice

faint harness
#

Died twice, still killed it but full clownery

rigid eagle
#

i wanna see the healer's chatlog

#

having to heal thru 80 corruptions

faint harness
#

Tankbrains

#

Give them 1 chance to succumb to dps brain and they will anplify it

rigid eagle
#

exactly lel

#

"hurr durr me bear me big laser damage"

#

drooling intensively

faint harness
rigid eagle
#

honestly lol idk how ppl pug for higher M+

faint harness
#

They invite the same ppl

#

And call it a pug

rigid eagle
#

ahh

#

bigbrain

faint harness
#

Its huge

ocean drum
drifting cosmos
#

Or you spend 1-2hours checking io

#

And form a group

faint harness
#

Laenya, you run xang build with only 2 SS

#

I think thats a big part of it

ocean drum
#

3rd SS is in the sim

faint harness
#

Really

ocean drum
#

it just doesn't sim highest though ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

ye! ikr? i don't get it xD

faint harness
#

I think everything is just some ilvls too low

#

Wrathion trinket not the best

ocean drum
#

i've got gcb on 465 but i actually hate it's usage :/

faint harness
#

Why

#

Just use it with exang

#

Also you have like 0 sockets

ocean drum
#

but i would not delay exang for it, right?

#

ye, the sockets, sure

drifting cosmos
#

I think they started using golden plumge if you have it

faint harness
#

The missing sockets is prob up to 5500 dps alone

#

Then ilvl on azerite matters a lot

#

And the trinket + weapons ilvl

ocean drum
#

mhm. ye, probably sums up :/

faint harness
#

Thats prob it

ocean drum
#

well ty! ๐Ÿ™‚

drifting cosmos
#

If not, just put more exp

#

That always help lol

faint harness
#

Farm those sockets, extremely important :)

ocean drum
#

that's why i was asking; i totally expected more from all those expedients ๐Ÿ˜„

#

i know, it's a twink, farming vision tickets kinda sucks - especially while farming echoes for expedients (whenever it's coming up again <.<)

quasi pewter
#

expedient isnt gonna do much if your gear is low ilvl without sockets

ocean drum
#

prob true.. alright, ty guys! ๐Ÿ™‚

#

good night!

red plaza
#

whats a good secondary after haste when stacking expedient/exsang build

cobalt pelican
#

have people used the new raidboots corruption thing to check profiles

#

mainly for gw

quasi pewter
#

crit and mastery are both good but you should sim

red plaza
#

kk, thanks. saving echoes for the next r3 expedient, deciding on which 475s to put it on.

rigid eagle
#

so for all the people playing exsang

#

what's the essence build and rotations like?

lime edge
#

i wish i could stack just 2 stats

#

feelsbadman

dreamy pumice
#

why is it that i can cast mount/hearthstone while stealthed in assassination but not outlaw or subtlety?

cobalt pelican
#

subterfuge

dreamy pumice
#

oh duh, thanks

cobalt pelican
#

seems like my gear kinda caps out at expedient expedient 19 and gw on carapace boots for the next couple weeks

tropic ocean
#

@rigid eagle rotation on ravenholdt

cobalt pelican
#

but i don't have the dagger so idk if that's different for most ppl

tropic ocean
#

essence usually guardian major/blood, lucid/breath/iris minor (until really high haste were lucid falls off)

rigid eagle
#

@tropic ocean on a scale one to ten how up to date is ravenholdt lol

cobalt pelican
#

means i basically need 1 gw and 1 expedient 1

tropic ocean
#

11

#

ravenholdt is one of the best class communities when it comes to being up to date and theory crafting

rigid eagle
#

Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote runs out
Garrote twice

rigid eagle
#

ok i see the ravenholdt combo

tropic ocean
#

this the rotation it hasn't change

rigid eagle
#

but one question

#

in like m+

quasi pewter
#

@cobalt pelican gw was downgrade to expedient for me on cara boots

rigid eagle
#

is it better to hold vanish for the second exsang

tropic ocean
#

depends if u play

quasi pewter
#

raz too i think

tropic ocean
#

vision minor or not

rigid eagle
#

i'd like to

tropic ocean
#

or generally

#

if you get 2nd vendetta i u hold vanish

#

for vanish+vendetta+exsang+blood

rigid eagle
#

hm

cobalt pelican
#

hm

tropic ocean
#

if not u just vanish 2x garrote when it runs out

cobalt pelican
#

guess i'm just too weak

rigid eagle
#

i see

cobalt pelican
#

it's only like a ~250 upgrade for me rn

rigid eagle
#

makes sense

tropic ocean
#

so comes down to ur boss killtime

rigid eagle
#

prolly gonna hold it on a tyrannical week

tropic ocean
#

with vision minor u hold it basically all the time

urban minnow
#

worth buying the boe boots off ah?

tropic ocean
#

if u dont play vision need to carefully watch boss hp if u can pair it

#

@urban minnow for corruption, no, for general gearing if u feel like it yeah maybe

rigid eagle
#

@tropic ocean then in a raid setting, how do you line your cds up?

tropic ocean
#

like in the ravenholdt rotation

rigid eagle
#

i see

tropic ocean
#

for st

#

theres few differences depending on fight

#

like if u know there will be an add spawn that lives the duration u vanish to multi garrote them

#

and so on

rigid eagle
#

i see

tropic ocean
#

(like in raden for example)

rigid eagle
#

lol every raden run we get like 20 480 ilvl dhs from PUG

#

those guys got all the mobility in the game, they can get the add and lemme sit on boss xD

tropic ocean
#

yeah everyone wants the weapon

#

talking more about the stalker add, not orb

#

and in mythic u constantly have 2 adds spawn+boss so

#

a lot of multi-dot capability

rigid eagle
#

how long is raden fight on mythic๏ผŸ

tropic ocean
#

depends on your group and what strat they do on farm usually around 3 min -3.30ish for most

outer lotus
#

damn we only killed it 3 times but its been about 4:30min every time

tropic ocean
#

well in farm u lust on pull

#

and just push boss to skip addwave

outer lotus
#

we lust on pull too

tropic ocean
#

ow

#

well ๐Ÿ˜„

outer lotus
#

we only get 3 orb phases, do you get 2 or what?

#

or i guess you play the last phase cleaner, we always have like 10 people dead by the time the boss dies lul

tropic ocean
#

i cant remember if we had 2 or 3 orbs

#

but

cobalt pelican
#

most reclears do 2

#

and did 3 on prog

tropic ocean
#

in prog we lust on 2nd phase

cobalt pelican
#

i think the pugs that kill raden do 2 though so it should be doable for most guilds with some minmaxing

faint harness
#

We are attempting 1 orb next raid

tropic ocean
#

but with current gear and new corruptions incoming

#

can probably pushit under 2.30 or so

cobalt pelican
#

prolly doable if you 2heal tbh

faint harness
#

1 tank, 1 healer

#

Should die in 2 mins ish

tropic ocean
#

but then again also depends on your roster

#

if you have lots of melee probably harder to do than having lots of ranges

#

due to downtime when killing orbs

faint harness
#

4 destruction warlocks

#

Havoc on orb with cds

#

What orb?

tropic ocean
#

yeah about to say

#

with enough locks can probably push it very fast

#

so everyone else can stay on boss

faint harness
#

Pushing for speed ranks is the only thing left to do

tropic ocean
#

not for me but yeah ๐Ÿ˜„

faint harness
#

Also doing vexiona with 1 tank 1 healer

#

No flight phase attempt

tropic ocean
#

probably all doable with right setup

faint harness
#

Yea

tropic ocean
#

or u just wait for panda world quests

faint harness
#

Sad for healers

tropic ocean
#

all dps take lightning debuff from pillar

#

get ported

#

and blast

urban minnow
#

when do u use bote in the opener?

tropic ocean
#

after exsang

urban minnow
#

if playing tb

tropic ocean
#

with vanish

#

before envenom

faint harness
#

I mean

urban minnow
#

aye

faint harness
#

After tb with subt right

tropic ocean
#

yeah

candid jasper
#

What numbers are people pulling in m+ as sin?

#

I pull around 80-90 overall but I've seen some sin rogues do crazy numbers

distant cedar
#

It's very dependent on your group. If you are running lower than normal keys and do huge pulls you will do bigger numbers

#

80-90 overall for keys when you're pushing is good

faint harness
#

Ive only run sin in junkyards recently

#

I feel like it fits the spec quite well

#

And ending at between 110k-120k overall (zap + last boss inflated) hard to tell the real dps

candid jasper
#

I pulled 103k in junkyard 22, but that's with zap and haste :/

#

yeah and last boss

#

The warrior I was with did 133k :/

#

haha

#

I need to do more

faint harness
#

Its nutty on the "council boss", doing like 140k dps there

#

Warrior is broken, honestly, no comparison

#

At least a good geared one

outer lotus
#

warrior just has a lot of innate haste so he will just do a lot more with zap

#

enrage gives like 40% haste or something

lost beacon
#

anyone got tips to get better dps

#

atm running 3 shrouded suffs with 1 heart of dark is my highest dps i sim atm

red plaza
#

you're too low ilvl to be running that build

arctic walrus
#

actually link it

faint harness
#

Too many things

red plaza
#

and your essences suck

arctic walrus
#

stop using ss

arctic walrus
#

get better essences

red plaza
#

rank2 blood is useless

arctic walrus
#

get better trinkets

candid jasper
#

that's my build, but I can't get anywhere near 107k overall

arctic walrus
#

yeah cuz your gear is shit?

#

you're not gonna do 100k+ just because you swapped out talents and azerite traits

candid jasper
#

Sorry, are you talking to me? ๐Ÿ˜’

arctic walrus
#

no I am not ๐Ÿ™‚

red plaza
#

is dungeon slice a 3minute thing now?

arctic walrus
#

for you, dungeon slice isn't optimized well for this spec, and you don't look at the overall of a dslice sim and expect to hit that in a dungeon

#

there's so many factors that go into your dungeon overall, you just have to play the spec correctly there's nothing else to it

candid jasper
#

I seem to be hitting 85-90k most dungeons, but I have seen rogues pulling much better numbers than me. I have access to lots of gear - it just seems like twilight procs at the wrong times and I feel like if I don't run my single target spec, my boss dps is average at best.

faint harness
#

@lost beacon get more of everything and your dps will go up (:

arctic walrus
#

because it heavily depends on how you pull a dungeon, not just your gear or td procs

faint harness
#

Ppl swap to SS xang build too early smh

candid jasper
#

So we just did a 22 junkyard in time and it was single pulls

subtle tundra
#

yes, cause its junkyard

lost beacon
#

here linked it @arctic walrus

#

i simmed all my gear and with this build i sim the highest

#

thats why i used it

subtle tundra
#

vigor and toxic blade are better

lost beacon
#

i do higher dps and sim higher with this build tho

tropic ocean
#

@candid jasper dont expect to do more than 80-90k in highkeys this week

#

You not gonna do 100k + when bosses take 5 min

faint harness
#

Theres a reason it took until crazy haste numbers of last patch for xang to pull ahead @lost beacon

urban minnow
#

i guesss im prettty tapped out at this point?

candid jasper
#

I am not sure that's right, I was playing with another rogue earlier who did 104k vs my 90k

drifting cosmos
#

What key tho

tropic ocean
#

yeah so he had better procs?

#

Or played better

candid jasper
#

The only thing I noticed was he was xsang spec with mastery, yet I play toxic blade with crit

drifting cloud
#

lol

#

yeah dude thats totally the 15k

tropic ocean
#

and dont care about junkyard overall

#

cuz zap zap zap

candid jasper
#

Yeah ๐Ÿ™‚

drifting cosmos
#

Can compare zap dmg and TD dmg

#

Prob there is your 15k

tropic ocean
#

Like even on same player youll have up to 30% dps variance

candid jasper
#

I assume this is sarcasm?

yeah dude thats totally the 15k

tropic ocean
#

ive done same week same group junkyard with fury

#

1 time 128k one time 105k

#

๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

yard is probably worst dungeon for comparison

#

20% dmg td rng on top of 20% zap rng

drifting cosmos
#

Would be interesting to see dmg break down on mastery build

quasi pewter
#

zap isnt that rng though

tropic ocean
#

on sin?

drifting cosmos
#

Yea i think zap is haste related

tropic ocean
#

Oh and also depends on pathing/which bot u get

#

In a good group ull get 4 bots very early

drifting cosmos
#

So it's better for a lot of other specs

quasi pewter
#

you just always go off and get ur bots at start

#

anythign else is time waste

tropic ocean
#

Bad groups clear first packs with 1 bot so potentially lose out there too

quasi pewter
#

leave ur grp to do whatever they want and get ur bots

tropic ocean
#

probably should do so yeah

rancid bobcat
#

Zap

#

Mother fucker

tropic ocean
#

think they might nerf them though

glacial steppe
#

Im hyped for reclear next ID

tropic ocean
#

They nerfed less impactful things in dungeons

glacial steppe
#

finally another chance for cara chest/daggee

quasi pewter
#

they cant rly nerf them anymore

#

too late

tropic ocean
#

but they did with cannons and freehold very late in season too no?

quasi pewter
#

they did it at a season start

tropic ocean
#

Like clearing 30% trash with painful

quasi pewter
#

its literally the middle of the season

#

highly doubt they nerf it

rancid bobcat
#

Junkyard seems fairly balanced with zap scaling

tropic ocean
#

???

woeful minnow
#

with the availability of corruption now they might tbh

tropic ocean
#

Wat

rancid bobcat
#

It's not like it's some 3+ higher

glacial steppe
#

didnt they time 28 with 5 mins left

#

or so

quasi pewter
#

no

candid jasper
#

Can anyone actually confirm if TD procs more from higher haste builds?

tropic ocean
#

if surviving was no issue

glacial steppe
#

or was it 3 mins idk

tropic ocean
#

They probably time jy 29 or 30

rancid bobcat
#

Like yeah it's going to be the highest key done but not by a huge margin

tropic ocean
#

I think

rancid bobcat
#

Well

tropic ocean
#

Its the easiest dungeon by a large margin

#

Arent groups 2 chesting 24 25s

#

Similar to old tol dagor

quasi pewter
#

easily

#

26s

rancid bobcat
#

Idk

#

I'd rather more mechanics like zap be introduced tbh

tropic ocean
#

Dunno if there is any other dungeon 2 chested like that

quasi pewter
#

i think its alright that its easy but pmuch a 100% deplete if you wipe

#

maybe a little too strong on the zap scaling

#

but meh

rancid bobcat
#

Something where if you perform well it makes the dungeon easier

#

Rather than just perform well and you barely survive

#

Err

#

Well I'm definitely not describing it correctly

#

But there's a difference between those two points that idk how to put into words

tropic ocean
#

Junkyard also a dungeon where I actually feel superior playing assa

#

Demolished last boss with exsang

glacial steppe
#

you spelled DH wrong

tropic ocean
quasi pewter
#

outlaw is alot better than assa in junkyard

glacial steppe
#

fanamps zap damage kekw

#

43% iirc

tropic ocean
#

my overall not so competitive

#

But damn feels good to rip last boss

glacial steppe
#

ill touch assa once i have 3x eb and shitloads of severe/striketrough

#

gonna be fun

quasi pewter
glacial steppe
#

VoP Major?

tropic ocean
#

I wanna try master assassin + 3 eb + 3 sob of u can still get that with high severe/strikethrough

glacial steppe
#

With 3 BB prolly

quasi pewter
#

yes

#

if you dont play vop major 3 brigands and expedient ur trolling

glacial steppe
#

worth even on 19/20/21?

#

Im only 3k scrub :(

quasi pewter
#

mabye not on lower keys

#

but 100% on 24+

tropic ocean
#

125m

#

Actually insane

quasi pewter
#

mage was still above me

#

with 200k dps

tropic ocean
#

maybe full expedient sin is the play in junkyard

quasi pewter
#

me at 168 or something

glacial steppe
#

what stats do you drop for haste tho

#

in yard

quasi pewter
#

you drop twilight

vital haven
#

crit

quasi pewter
#

its useless

vital haven
#

go haste vers

quasi pewter
#

i even went heart of darkness traits where possible

#

wrathion trinket

#

and everything haste

fast nacelle
#

this is assassin channel. last warning for saryero

vital haven
#

i mean all of this prob applies to sin in JY as well lul

tropic ocean
#

hell yeah

#

Gonna go raid build next junkyard

#

Zap everything

glacial steppe
#

imagine sin had raden slappers too

#

60% haste + double slappers pog

ruby oar
#

Hey guys, do you know what addon/weakaura can convert stats for % ?

tropic ocean
#

on items?

ruby oar
#

yes @tropic ocean

tropic ocean
#

enhanced tool tip

#

Is it called that

#

Iirc

ruby oar
#

hmm

#

Where can i find it @tropic ocean ?

#

Is on Twitch app do install?

tropic ocean
#

Twitch app should have it

ruby oar
#

I think i found itr

tropic ocean

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฟ

glacial steppe
#

Lets all pray for expedient 2 on Wednesday

#

need it so much

drifting cloud
#

Saturday please

#

wednesday too soon

glacial steppe
#

kinda true, can only buy 2 but

rose sapphire
#

Any exact date when we have exp r3 back again?

glacial steppe
#

want them for reclear

crimson palm
#

1 month

glacial steppe
#

@crimson palm cara dagger/chest and ill finally hit 100k peepohappy

rose sapphire
#

Guys what u think about GW on Cara 485 daggers? and rest exp ๐Ÿ˜„

crimson palm
#

GW's dogshit

#

It seems to sim better than t2 exp though

#

so if you can only fit 15 cor that's probably the play

#

100k is ez kekw

#

110k is the goal

glacial steppe
#

well i only have 3 expedient

crimson palm
#

im 102k at 33 and 105k at 53

glacial steppe
#

need t2s so i can use two more t3

#

if I purify my cara dagger for t3 exp its 500 dps downgrade

#

but if i add a t2 aswell

#

2k upgrade

#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

crimson palm
#

ye obv

#

i'd still purify it

#

fuck rng

glacial steppe
#

do we go all out on exp or is there a limit

tropic ocean
#

@crimson palm reroll arms

crimson palm
#

lel no

#

im competing with my guild's arms guy

#

who cares about anything but expedient

#

i prefer not to have a brain

#

and buy my expedients only

upper spear
#

Hey guys, ive been kinda winging it so far with my rogue. Looking for any feedback or suggestions on my gear ๐Ÿ™‚

#

focusing single target raid

tropic ocean
#

Trinkets

#

Azerite

#

Corruptions

#

does vision minor really sim better for you

#

Than cns or iris

upper spear
#

i was copying a damage window build i saw on Logs

tropic ocean
#

dont do that

#

Top gear sim ur char

#

Vision minor is usually only used if youd lose vendetta due to intermission stuff like on wrathion

crimson palm
#

scent of blood kekw

upper spear
#

yeah i think it was wrath i was building off of

crimson palm
#

is there a worse piece in the game than turban

tropic ocean
#

monstrosity

glacial steppe
#

Reminds me of early uldir where you had to play whatever trash youd get especially the first ids pogchamp

upper spear
#

highest simming helmet ive gotten so far ๐Ÿ™‚

tropic ocean
#

#neverfetidchest @glacial steppe

crimson palm
#

i somehow doubt that

tropic ocean
#

potentially lower ilvl azerite with better traits will beat ur helmet

upper spear
#

yeah ive tried a few but as far as sims spit out, its been the highest. ill double check.

glacial steppe
#

actually back in uldir turban was decent cause it had DD/OP pog

tropic ocean
#

i was ss exsang gang in uldir

glacial steppe
#

Had no ss

tropic ocean
#

But that was worst times

#

Using heroic azerite with ss

#

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

#

heroic dungeon*

#

good old strong ss

cobalt pelican
#

ah

#

i've found the secret chinese exploit

balmy condor
#

wat the

strange python
#

that looks illegal

cobalt pelican
#

it's ok, the poleece will never find out

hallow oriole
#

What happened there?

eager delta
#

he has clockwork heart buff but not the azerite trait

urban minnow
#

curious, what race are most people playing as, just curious, not for racial gain just curious

eager delta
#

undead cos i dont sit to piss

vital haven
#

wait thats illegal

#

POLICIA POLICIA

eager delta
#

though most popular horde is blood elf vs pre sure human for alli

#

and yeah it looks suss asf

quasi pewter
#

blood elf for horde

#

human or nightelf for alliance

eager delta
#

oh yeah true

#

scrap that if your alli play nelf

#

meld is still busted lmao

#

actually how did you find that log btw

cobalt pelican
#

it's me

#

i think i know how to replicate it but i didn't check till post raid

vast forum
#

please elaborate, i wanna use this ๐Ÿ™‚

cobalt pelican
#

i think clockwork heart only checks for raid combat on its proc timer and not periodically inbetween

#

so if you're resetting a boss and have clockwork active

#

it'll proc, you can change during the respawn

#

and as long as the respawn happens before the next proc would

#

i think you get it?

#

i've not verified it yet

vital haven
#

oh so thats why its on ilgy

cobalt pelican
#

could just be a 1/1000 bug aswell, i'll check it out next raid

#

we reset like half the bosses for lust anyway so i can just tell the tanks to set pulltimer to respawn timer instead of afking for 2 minutes after reset

vast forum
#

probably pretty good for maut/hive/raden/vexiona/xanesh

#

ilgy is harder to reset

cobalt pelican
#

we reset ilgy prepull every single time for gates

#

just a single invis/feign does it

vast forum
#

but do you proc your heart while doing it ?

#

if only the hunter/mage tags and resets?

cobalt pelican
#

yeah

#

it procs from the first raid combat engagement regardless of me hitting it

#

it's kinda annoying sometimes

#

and yeah i still have no idea if it's replicable, i knew i wasn't hallucinating during the raid but i didn't really have time to clown out

#

since we only had 3 bosses to clear tonight

#

seems to work on the dummy

#

pretty clowny

outer lotus
#

That seems like something banworthy doesnt it?

cobalt pelican
#

idk

#

use at your own risk

#

:)

outer lotus
#

Did moonkins get banned for that bug where they got a bunch of free crit from a feral trait?

eager delta
#

dont think so

cobalt pelican
#

i should check my actual stats and see if it gives

eager delta
#

highly doubt you'd get banned for something like that, its a bug sure but its not something that enables you to really do anything other than more dps

#

but idk, blizz are kinda inconsistent with bans so

vast forum
#

this isn't game breaking, if anything it's just log padding and probably not gonna be used by any1 on progress blobshrug

eager delta
#

this

cobalt pelican
#

mm, seems like the stats don't apply consistently

#

even though the proc is

vast forum
#

also, blizz can't really know for sure if you're forcing it or accidentally proccing it

#

i guess if you do it 20 times in a row they can figure it out

outer lotus
#

I mean this is not something that you accidentally trigger, especially ig it happens more than once

vast forum
#

why not? you do trash with clockwork heart

#

then you swap for boss

#

and pull right after reset, rather than waiting around

cobalt pelican
#

fack

#

i'm going to sit here

outer lotus
cobalt pelican
#

and exploit until it works like i want it to

vast forum
#

also seems like something that they would probably never figure out

#

and if they do, they just hotfix it without bans

#

btw, according to my sims, expedient outsims gw on 485 pieces ๐Ÿ˜ฆ i guess i know what i'm saving ALL my echoes for

cobalt pelican
#

it's close enough for me that if it's better for better geared people i think i'm just going to invest in further expedient

#

cause gw is ~200 better for me but if that doesn't hold as i get better pieces then w/e not worthfhf

vast forum
#

i just made 2 gearsets of full 475/485 gear with full sockets, 1 with all expedient, 1 with 3 gw on 485 pieces

#

expedient won by 2k

chilly marsh
#

if its tht close GW can be better on downtimes no?

cobalt pelican
#

did you not just use the

#

top gear corruption thing

vast forum
#

nah i don't have 485 boots

cobalt pelican
#

o

chilly marsh
#

GW is garanted dmg

vast forum
#

haste is guaranteed damage too

cobalt pelican
#

this was what mine came out as

#

but it's like

#

close to margin for gw

#

so there's just no point

#

only annoying thing is i'm going to have to somewhat stack up on different ranks of expedient

#

to have gear for each week

#

and cleanse and recorrupt the same pieces

vast forum
cobalt pelican
#

pretty epic.

vast forum
#

also, you don't have gorak's kekw

cobalt pelican
#

i don't have anything ok

#

it's rough out here

vast forum
#

no cara chest kekw

#

or 485 daggers

#

want 1 of mine? ๐Ÿ˜„

cobalt pelican
#

i think i still sim 100k in my current gear

#

which isn't too bad

#

i guess

#

considering carapace items alone are like ~3k

#

or more

vast forum
#

i sim 99k but i have 3 expedients sitting in my bags ๐Ÿ˜„

cobalt pelican
#

and at this point i'm just

#

gambling until i get goraks

#

out of spite

#

i've been rolling for them since week 1 tep

chilly marsh
#

you can save coin and buy it

#

will have enought with max cap resist

strange python
#

imagine gambling til then

chilly marsh
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

strange python
#

and not having it

cobalt pelican
#

i made a ticket once asking for blizzard to give me a receipt of all of my azerite gambles

#

and they refused

#

i'm starting to think it's a conspiracy

vast forum
#

tbh i think i've alternated tiers

#

in uldir i didn't get gorak's at all

chilly marsh
#

next week i will finally buy the m+ head for m+

vast forum
#

then i got it 2nd roll in bod

chilly marsh
#

saving 20k forever lol

vast forum
#

then didn't get it for like 14 rolls in ep

#

and got it 2nd roll in nyalotha

cobalt pelican
#

i'm not even joking when i say i think i'm on ~35 total gambles across both tiers

#

if not closer to 40

#

i've only rolled non-shoulders like 4-5 times in the entire time

#

i got irontide first roll last season, first roll this season

#

rolled chest twice this season for the clockwork heart/eb chest

#

and that's it

vast forum
#

why that one ?

cobalt pelican
#

it's usable for exsang in raid and would double as m+ gear for me

#

i'd accept blighted tribe but meh

vast forum
#

just get cara chest kekw

cobalt pelican
#

i will ok!!!!!

#

only like 1 other person in my guild needs it still, and everyone else can trade it

#

but somehow i still don't have it

#

dagger is just kinda a shit shoot could be months

shy dust
#

Gorak tuls check

heady drum
#

is it because of the Blightborne infusion the gorak tuls are so interesting?

cobalt pelican
#

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

i mean

#

yes

heady drum
#

sorry ive no clue =D just a quick question

vital haven
#

stop gambling dude

lime edge
#

how much corruption do u guys use

vital haven
#

depends on the boss

#

high 50s for the ez fights

#

sub 40 for illgy etc

lime edge
#

hmm

#

is getting 2.5k dps worth going from 38 to 58 corruption

rigid eagle
#

man where are you guys getting all these corruptions

lime edge
#

expedient 3 is 20 corruption

#

i have one saved up, xd

rigid eagle
#

daaaam

#

see if i had echoing blades to go with my strikethrough i wouldn't be nearly as salty
