night fae looks like a good way to reset mobs/boss when playing solo Weirdchamp

sturdy cargo
#

yea night fae has room to be fun to use if u can apply the garote with the stealth buff everytime u use it

#

night fae looks like a good way to reset mobs/boss when playing solo Weirdchamp
true

normal olive
#

Well i'm not choosing a covenant for solo play duh

plain thistle
#

well, but it at least need to works for every scenario right?

normal olive
#

I just think it could be neat for raiding, 1 minute vanish

plain thistle
#

think about something like visions, you wouldnt be able to use it for boss if playing solo

dark crag
#

Free vanish use, add +1 charge to vanish. I don't know

#

Wasn't that hard to think about

plain thistle
#

yeah, but vanish is only a good offensive CD because we have azerite traits to buff it, because otherwise isnt very strong

#

think about tb + dd build, vanish was really weak

normal olive
#

Well venthyr sounds pretty bad and bastion i can't really get behind

sturdy cargo
#

Bastion will never be BiS, too hard to get the right amount of CP

plain thistle
#

venthyr needs a rework tbh

sturdy cargo
#

agree

#

venthyr is way to boring

plain thistle
#

super boring

normal olive
#

yeah rogue abilitys in general aren't that great, i only like nigh fae because it has the vanish, which makes it a bit unique to the others

sturdy cargo
#

I like the bone spike

#

but blizz don't seem to like it if wowhead is correct

#

I hope at least the conduits are strong

normal olive
#

That's just a stacking dot with a burst, sounds good but boring

dark crag
#

Vanish is an offensive cd even without azerites because master assassin exists

#

If we have no ss traits anymore, assa goes back to ma

normal olive
#

Well gotta wait for legendarys, maybe we get something similar

dark crag
#

Although with high crit and essences ma wasn't used even before the high haste exsang raz build

#

@dusky moon can you post your sim? Interested to see your M+ gear setup, as Im still trying to figure it out. It seems I either do great trash or great boss damage but not both

someone just recommended me this video, just what we were saying... hopefully next beta build help us rogues out

Would there ever be a time you use Wound Poison instead of Deadly?

I'm guessing u can only have 2 active

Alright. I'll focus on pvp once I reach 120

Thank you

#

@sturdy cargo can you link source for the bone spike removal

vast forum
#

it was datamined but it's still on beta

strange python
#

the source was wowhead

#

they had it as "removed"

scarlet sequoia
#

ye i found it, ty

#

think its just tooltip being fixed

wary ice
#

You'd use deadly vs like rogue mage but most double DPS have enough leech /self heal to justify using wound over deadly

scarlet sequoia
#

since it currently doesnt have the correct tooltip

wary ice
#

evern rouge mage is questionable

sturdy cargo
#

@sturdy cargo can you link source for the bone spike removal
I just googled rogue covenant skills and that was the tooltip

#

it was datamined but it's still on beta
^^

#

Reading souldbinds, now i'm 100% sure that bastion is complete dog shit. that's one that i'm 100% sure we will never use even without seeing the numbers of the all the covenants yet

warm parcel
#

amazing foresight

scarlet sequoia
#

assa rogue is completely fucking awful to play on beta

#

awful trash

#

sucks

#

and is boring and awful to play

#

terrible design

main warren
#

why is maintenance so long this week

#

it ends at 5pm my time wtf is that

strange python
#

Was assassination really ever fun though

vast forum
#

yes

#

was it ever incredibly exciting? probably not

spice spire
#

When dispatch was an execute 😦

vast forum
#

but it's fun

normal olive
#

If you just freestyle your opener its fun

vast forum
#

assa was also very fun in hfc, but it was just strictly worse than sub so no1 played it

this dcord has some quality emotes

we also got some quality memes

tribal marlin
#

Infexious video is indeed pretty negative but sadly a bit true. Rogue state of developpement actually really feels like "paused" right now.

warm parcel
#

it aint paused

#

there just was literally no changes

tribal marlin
#

keep the best for the last I guess

warm parcel
#

to be seen

#

Rogues will never be as fun as they were in ulduar 😆

cobalt pelican

mental trout
#

That was just my favorite raid honestly. Hard modes were the shit

true ingot
#

The rogue class designer is busy splitting his time on making Warlocks the best class in the game.

sturdy cargo
#

amazing foresight
@warm parcel lol sorry had to afk after that msg haha
rogue bastion skill is seems to be almost impossible to get the right amount of CP, specially in burst windowns when u have extra haste and crit. And the signature skill is also the worst one and brings 0 dps or utility, it's basically a lock stone. No impressive soulbinds too

Necrolord class skill is by far the best one rn (I haven't looked too much into numbers of every covenant but I've heard ppl say it's op af rn) and IMO it seems fun to play with and a playstile I like. Besides that necro has the best soulbind pvp with the immune to CC shield so picking necro u can prob do PVE and PVP rn, and the PVE pure dps soulbind also seems to bring some nice survivability and DPS with the first trait giving u +20% max hp when u use the shield and the last trait seems to give the first one some dps too

venthyr class skill is wayy to boring, but i've never seen the numbers in it so I can't say how good it is. Keep in mind that the venthyr signature skill is busted op and everyone might pick it depending on boss fights or how good it is in arenas, u have really nice soulbind choices for PVP, u can either get the "hold ur ground" trait witch might be super strong if u are the kill target or u can get the soulbind witch makes the door of shadows insta, giving us an insta 30yrd tp. the nadjia soulbind also has almost a hero in it's last trait, and u can also get a trait that is a perma 4% dps increase to a ST.

Night fae signature skill is just some furry shit and I do'nt see any use in it. The class skill might see some use cuz we might be able to have the garote with the stealth dmg increase always up, that will add up with the last trait in the Dmg soulbind cuz u will get 10% mastery after using night fae skill, the problem with it is that in solo content it will always reset mobs. In fights where u need to interrupt a lot or in M+ I could see night fae dmg soulbind doing amazing dmg too

true ingot
#

Night Furry ability got straight removed didn't it?

sturdy cargo
#

it's deactivate now in beta as far as I know, but Idk if it's perma removed

true ingot
#

I imagine it's just getting reworked to not reset in open world then.

#

Maybe laying down a clone that keeps the mob in combat or summat.

sturdy cargo
#

again I'm not an amazing rogue neither an amazing retail player so do'nt take everything I say as 100% true, just giving my thoughts on it

#

I imagine it's just getting reworked to not reset in open world then.
that would be soo good

#

it's an interesting skill

true ingot
#

You quoted the wrong part. Big kek.

#

It is, but it's locked behind Night Furry so

#

Hard avoid. >>>

devout fiber
#

Does this discord have a guild or smth?

#

i'm lvl 114 rn and have never joined a guild before

tribal marlin
#

Well I was hyped to test Rogue Torghast but then I tested it and ... like there missing 3 Anima Power, most other Rogue specific Anima Power have negativ interaction, are bugged or just not work at all. Currently Torghast is all about stacking Mastery / Crit / Crit damage, win the 1st boss, pray for First Steps and then OS everything

#

super boring

sturdy cargo
#

yea, we have torghast broken for us, no legendaries/conduits and missing talents 😦

true ingot
#

They are just running out of time to put them in.

#

We need a good few months to test and get them to chop and change whatever they do put in.

tribal marlin
#

Well at least we can hope to have a huge update for Rogue coming soon

true ingot
#

So if it's not in in the next.. two weeks or so?

silent crescent
#

Maybe rogues reached 100% borrowed power and have to stay in bfa

true ingot
#

It's really, really cutting it fine.

tribal marlin
#

Ye that's my biggest fear : if they don't release the Rogue Update soon enough, we will miss time to really test it.

true ingot
#

Even then we have to hope they even listen to the feedback we do get time to give them.

tribal marlin
#

but the buggy state is the worst here

#

like really, more than Half the anima power are bugged

#

like the only one working properly are "increase Eviscerate damage by 25%"

#

ye

#

that's the only one who work properly xD

#

this thing

#

sound a cool QoL anima you might take

#

hahahahahaha

true ingot
#

It's telling that one of our covenant abilities was disabled/removed, one is straight up never getting picked (Venthyr), one is ridiculously difficult to use (bastion) leaving us with only one viable choice that one person claimed is also being removed? 😦

tribal marlin
#

it reduce Step range to 2y as well as Blind range to 2y, it increase Storm range to 37 YARDS, and all melee ability goes to 37y too, like wtf

normal olive
#

wtf xD

bleak spoke
#

They’re testing ranged rogue this is the end

venthyr might get picked if numbers are high, bastion is def not getting picked trust me unless they change it a lot.

scarlet sequoia
#

@tribal marlin i took that one and i couldnt even press shuriken storm

#

cus it was -37 yards

normal olive
#

peepostudy mhm yes numbers go up

true ingot
#

It'd need some giga tuning to be useful.

sturdy cargo
#

yea, and even if it gets op it will be still boring

true ingot
#

It still does the same damage as ambush

#

point for point.

normal olive
devout fiber
#

The one on the right?

tribal marlin
#

Tho the Ventyr thing does not interact with things such as ShadowBlade or Seal Fate

#

So basically worst pressing than Ambush or Shadowstrike

devout fiber
#

Does impassive Visage stack if u have it enabled on another azerite armour?

fiery fable
#

servers are up

warm parcel
#

right sure

#

but looking at any of the SL stuff rn is 100% pointless in terms of "how good it is"

#

literally anything can change

tribal marlin
#

Indeed especially for rogue

#

We do expect a very big update

sturdy cargo
#

Does impassive Visage stack if u have it enabled on another azerite armour?
don't worry too much bout those inner traits

warm parcel
#

we dont even have 90% of the sl stuff thats out there for other classes

#

rogue isnt even in the beta so to speak

sturdy cargo
#

true

tribal marlin
#

But

#

all this being said, the Venthyr ability have a veryy cool animation and the weapon aura is nut xD

warm parcel
#

Right now is a good time to talk about how some of them are boring, and the ambush replacement sure is one

#

There is nothing cool about having a button thats an ambush

#

When some other specs get amazing cool new buttons

#

Or how some buttons might be annoyingly low qol for solo content etc

#

Those are good points to look at now

sturdy cargo
#

I agree, but I still stand by every point I made in what I wrote earlyer. Rn ignoring covenant signature skills we only have 1 choice that is necro

warm parcel
#

thats just no tho

#

cause again

#

you can literally change the powerlevel of them at any point in the game

#

2 weeks from now

#

a month before launch

#

2 weeks from launch

#

and boom its useless

#

they already removed the most egregious conduits cause they were clearly just not okay

true ingot
#

Makes you wonder how they ever thought they were okay to begin with tbh.

warm parcel
#

Theyre cool I guess

tribal marlin
#

And most of all, it's very likely to happen. I think they will redesign all of theim but the Kyrian one

warm parcel
#

But have no real place in a game where youre supposed to have "balance"

tribal marlin
#

well the Kyrian one needs some sort of QoL change but otherwise the concept is fine

#

all 3 others need to be reshape

#

If they ever reshape the Venthyr one, I hope they'll keep the animation, it is so cool xD

warm parcel
#

Blizz art team usually is the one that delivers

crimson palm
#

Even if venthyr one sucks, having 2 cds to cheese mechanics with will probably be a bigger dps gain

warm parcel
#

Its really up to the encounter design aswell

#

Which we should start seeing shortly

tribal marlin
#

Also a possible path Blizzard might choose is to redirect most of the Player Power into Conduits

#

Conduits are all the same, no matter what convenant you choose

#

so

crimson palm
#

Are they? I thought some of them are tied to a specific covenant

normal olive
#

They are tied to class and spec

#

i forgot the names but the potenticy is tied to spec and the other 2 are tied to class if i recall correctly

tribal marlin
#

Well your Soulbind looks like a "talent tree", each node is a Covenant specific passive OR an empty node you can fill with a thing

#

Like Relics in Legion

#

all theese Relics is the same no matter what convenant you choose

#

and they are the most impactfull things with legendary rn

#

It seems like all soulbind have a shared outline. The Covenant specific passiv can be utility / defensiv / offensiv passiv. But for all Souldbind I checked, if you choose a Offensive Covenant specific conduit, you loose access to a offensive spec/class specific conduit

#

here a screen shot to better see the picture

wary ice
#

general draven looks like a dork tbh

tribal marlin
#

Unfortunately only Nidja allow you to get 3 offensive class conduits

#

but this, not work properly. For rogue, basically only increase Attack Speed for 20%, kinda sucks right ?

normal olive
#

wait rly?

tribal marlin
#

Ye .... I don't really get how it is supposed to work. But basically, it does not increase dots damage like haste should, and it does not reduce the Global Cooldown

crimson palm
#

It should also make dots tick faster no?

tribal marlin
#

I think this last part is a bug due the rogue Global CD being fixed to 1s

fathom swift
#

Have you tested it?

tribal marlin
#

yes I did, does not increase dot damage 😦

crimson palm
#

F6

warm parcel
#

Its supposed to work like the NH effect

fathom swift
#

Does it reduce cds faster?

warm parcel
#

Weve seen since

#

The one thats in visions too

tribal marlin
#

oh maybe it does @fathom swift

#

I'll check this in 10mn if you mind xD

fathom swift
#

It should do if it works like vision one

#

And energy regen i guess

warm parcel
#

I mean it should do what it literally says

#

Every second that passes is effectively 1.2 seconds

#

No matter what it comes to

fathom swift
#

Ya

tribal marlin
#

but with no reduction of global CD and dots ticking faster, this stuff is a bit scuffed for a "last talent of the tree"

#

Oh also we miss one

warm parcel
#

When it works, it should affect those too

#

Theyre also part of "everything"

tribal marlin
#

ye for sure

fathom swift
#

It makes mechanical sense to my why it wouldnt affect dots

#

But not gcd

tribal marlin
#

Also one good thing to note is that the Mastery stuff

#

this

#

it's actually 10 mastery POINTS

#

then multiplied with Mastery factor

#

so for Subtely it give 24% mastery

#

for Assa it give 17% etc...

crimson palm
#

Azerite 2.0

balmy condor
#

Actually broken dude

#

Imagine accurate tool tips

#

Apparently that’s very difficult

tribal marlin
#

well it's 10% mastery if your spec has a 1.0 mastery factor xD

lean marten
#

if u have 100 mastery that would be 10%

balmy condor
tribal marlin
#

yes I just tested again, it does not increase dot tick rate neither reduce GCD 😦

#

Seems like only increase attack speed and making ability cooling down 20% faster

balmy condor
#

Unlucky

fathom swift
#

Not energy?

normal olive
#

Well stabbing things 20% faster is fun isn't it

tribal marlin
#

Will you choose Venthyr anyway 😄 ?

normal olive
#

Nah i wanna fuck around with the night fae vanish

strange python
#

If it resets mobs while solo'ing i dont see how it'll be useful

#

But definitely will be awesome in group content

normal olive
#

Yeah i'ma choose covenant for raiding and stuff not for solo content ^^

balmy condor
#

I’m choosing m+ covenant :)

fathom swift
#

So bone spike?

tribal marlin
#

Imma play Venthyr 🙂

vast forum
#

venthyr on a boss like drest and you're immortal 🙂

tribal marlin
#

xD hope it'll work

normal olive
#

m+ peepochrist

tribal marlin
#

this animation

#

is way too cool

normal olive
#

i just hope every covenant is playable, but that'll probably not be case

rigid mango
#

Depends on your definition of playable.

normal olive
#

viable*

rigid mango
#

Again, same thing there.

normal olive
#

peepostudy me not smart

rigid mango
#

If you're not minmaxing your char everything should be fine to play to some degree

#

Albeit I'm betting there'll be one that'll be the best, and one far worst and 2 in the middle kinda w/e

normal olive
#

yeah most likely, bastion just seems kinda clunky with the rng on CP we have

tribal marlin
#

It will be a complete mess to sims theim

rigid mango
#

Can't wait.

tribal marlin
#

like you need to take the ability but also all the conduits

opal minnow
#

havent played it, but kyrian just seems way too clunky to try and play

balmy condor
#

Koji’s losing his mind probably

tribal marlin
#

like if one particular conduit has higher value

#

etc...

#

like this one

silent crescent
#

They should make the kyrian one pick a new target each time you miss or something so you can force a 5/6 cp

rigid mango
#

Probably just gonna be a hell to sim first patch and then be one meta for atleast a patch or two with no real simming needed Clown

tribal marlin
#

is like "ok your convenant sucks, here is 4% free raw damage for you"

#

And then you face a Nzoth-style combat and your fuck'd

balmy condor
#

And then we sim and swap

#

And they buff the covenant

#

And now we can’t swap back

#

:)

normal olive
#

Well you can swap back, just takes a while

#

and the progress before you left is saved

balmy condor
#

It’s painful is the point

normal olive
#

yeah that's true

#

I just hope i get more ways to fuck up my opener

tribal marlin
#

I think they should not lock people down to 1 covenant and rather allow people to play for all covenant, but make theim so you can only feed one covenant at a time

#

just like Artifact weapons

#

So you still wont be able to swap convenant to best suit a given encounter, but you can choose what convenant you will put effort in at the begining of a patch as an example

silent crescent
#

Id be fine with locking covenenants if it was a more meaningful choice. Like they REALLY should have tried something cool with factions since horde has no reason to fight ally anymore.... make the covenants be your factions for world pvp or something

tribal marlin
#

and it give player something to do (feeding other covenant) at the end of a patch where you already have unlock everything in your first convenant

silent crescent
#

It even would work with defending/assaulting each other's home zones

fathom swift
#

Only thing im worried about is being locked to one spec only

tribal marlin
#

well for me I want to explore all convenants

#

but I don't want to play 4 characters

rigid eagle
#

yo @balmy condor so the game is still telling me to go WV

balmy condor
#

That’s unlucky

rigid eagle
#

but now i also have a 475 galecaller...

balmy condor
#

I’ll take a look after breakfast

rigid eagle
#

okie lol

#

but maybe this is a sign man, maybe im just supposed to play around the 1 min cd

balmy condor

Needs 1% more crit

normal olive
#

34% peepostudy

sturdy cargo
#

I just come back to retail, and still getting used to all these corruptions, but why would it be usefull to have more then 100% crit?

#

or is 1% crit not = 1% crit?

normal olive
#

with 100% you allways crit

#

more then 100% brings nothing

sturdy cargo
#

so why 133%?

dusky moon
#

just procs

spice spire
#

To assert dominance

sturdy cargo
#

oh thought u had 133% out of combat

#

mb

strange python
balmy condor
#

Yeah 133% crit out of combat

#

200% in combat

#

You crit twice on every crit

#

Or something

strange python
#

double crit

balmy condor
#

Mutilate for 6cp

silent crescent
#

Make it apply your crit dmg again, 2nd extra combo point too

#

Echoing blades has guaranteed crit, 3x crits

balmy condor
#

Huge

fleet whale
#

technically 103% crit is what you want if you want to crit on everything

balmy condor
#

Why tho

fleet whale
#

bosses are counted as 3 levels above you

#

and that reduced your crit chance by 3% against them, unless if blizz changed that

balmy condor
#

Oh I remember something like that

#

I think that’s still around

naive lynx

quick out of the topic question

somber fractal
#

so im gonna try condensed life force for the first time this week. is the idea to use it pre pull then re-stealth?

urban bough
#

so i am new to assa rogue i played outlaw the whole expansion and now i want to switch to assa rogue. Now my question ^^ which are the go to essences for assa? at the moment i have vision in major

dense blaze
#

BOTE never did me any wrong

urban bough
#

and vision in minor?

#

so BOTE in major and no i have Minor vision, lucid dreams, and breath

dense blaze
#

Haven't use vision in a long time

urban bough
#

now*

#

so and last talent? poisen bomb or ct?

dense blaze
#

You will need to sim that for yourself, takes a lot of expedient and haste to have CT pull ahead for boss damage

urban bough
#

ok alright thanks 🙂

spice spire
#

Iirc it’s about 60% haste where it pulls ahead

balmy condor
#

I see my rough numbers are being used mainstream

#

Yeah it’s around 60 for people

normal olive
#

34% crit?

umbral rapids
#

Unless you still have a ttk

balmy condor
#

Symfony

#

:)

spice spire
#

I’m getting to that breakpoint and it’s still not there, so I’m assuming 60 is fairly accurate

balmy condor
#

Hi bb

umbral rapids
#

:(

#

Hi

spice spire
balmy condor
#

TTK makes it very not there

strange python
#

So question, why's TTK destroy CT? Is it because you just have to dump every finisher into Envenom?

balmy condor
#

It makes envenom a better finisher

#

And since CT competes with envenom for CP

#

And envenom is now better

#

CT becomes not worth

#

CT, being a finisher has to both be better than PB, and the envenom damage you’re losing by casting CT’s instead

#

So by buffing envenoms, you make it harder for CT to beat it

#

So bad in fact that after some testing, the APL completely ignores CT if you have a TTK

#

(In single target obviously)

strange python
#

I see I see

#

So is TTK viable in raid or nah

balmy condor
#

I mean viable and optimal are 2 different words right

#

Irontide helm is viable

#

But you’ll be stuck with PB

#

If you don’t like that

dense blaze
#

It definitely increases the damage of one of your finishers

balmy condor
#

Don’t use it

#

I would also argue that a lot of the time, PB doesn’t quite do the damage that sims say it would

#

If you’re on something that moves a lot, like an add or something like xanesh

#

PB quickly loses value

warm sparrow
#

What's the preferred way of running sims for M+?
Dungeon Slice, multiple patchwerks, etc. ?

balmy condor
#

There really isn’t a preferred way

#

There’s a couple schools of thought on it though

#

And you can use your own intuition to decide what you want to do

#

There’s the dungeon slice way, which is smaller pulls and usually values a haste build and single target heavier

#

Or there’s the aoe way, which is like 5-6 target 1-1:30 length

#

And that’ll push you towards EB/crit

#

happy birthday whispyrrrrrr

#

You're the best

balmy condor
#

tyyyyyyyyyyy but I'm really not

#

@arctic walrus is the best

#

😍

#

except when he changes my name

arctic walrus
balmy condor
#

want that emote

#

:(

#

I just got out of bed

spice spire
balmy condor
#

but uh

#

yeah you're boned

#

live your life forever doomed to WV

#

could run bote at -700

#

thats what I would do

rigid eagle
#

lmfao but i also have galecaller

#

that lines up perfectly with WV

balmy condor
#

Macro it together yeah

rigid eagle
#

lol how do i even play tho

#

just use everything separately on cd?

balmy condor
#

Well you’d play WV like you would gcb

#

With vendetta/vanish every 2 min

#

And on cd in between

rigid eagle
#

second GCD + WV can't really line up with exsang

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s the in between

#

You just cast it after

rigid eagle
#

i guess WV+GCB just buff like the last 5 seconds of exsang buffed rupture

balmy condor
#

Well

rigid eagle
#

would this build be better with TB + DD lol

balmy condor
#

WV yes

#

Gcb no

rigid eagle
#

D:

balmy condor
#

And I honestly doubt it

#

Exsang sims higher for you by a long shot I think

#

I checked some Tb stuff out of curiosity

#

And it wasn’t great

#

But I didn’t go too far

rigid eagle
#

actually i disenchanted 480 slithering loa...don't think I can play DD build anymore lol

balmy condor
#

Exsang’s better anyway

rigid eagle
#

yup

#

btw how does gcb work with bleeds?

#

like if I dot up umbric in a vision run, and I stand in GCB after he ports away

#

are my bleeds still getting buffed

balmy condor
#

Yes but only if they’re not exsang’d

rigid eagle
#

oh...

balmy condor
#

Exsang snapshots haste

rigid eagle
#

OMG

balmy condor
#

And thus tick rate

rigid eagle
#

wait that's sorta insane

#

so technically i dont have to stand in GCB right

#

just use it right before exsang

balmy condor
#

You stand in it when you hit exsang

rigid eagle
#

yup

balmy condor
#

Then you can do whatever

rigid eagle
#

that's fuckin nuts

balmy condor
#

That’s where the majority of gcb’s strength comes from

rigid eagle
#

too bad its a 1 min cd i guess lmao

#

imagine if it was 2 min cd and 2x the haste

balmy condor
#

Anyway I’ll be back later, if any of you have questions dm me or something idk post it here and I’ll catch up xD

rigid eagle
#

lol thx for the help man

crimson palm
thin cargo
#

Yikes

low girder
#

I got 4 within 10 seconds once on like grong in BoD for a mount run before the skip

#

I didn't run over 40 for a very long time after that

rigid eagle
#

oof, most i've gotten is the first thing from beyond procing a second one...

crimson palm
#

when your raid lead says u should run <39 show him this clip

#

if this can be survived, nothing can kill you xD

low girder
#

Rofl

rigid eagle
#

my raid leader will probably crawl through my screen to beat me irl for wanting that much healing xD

limber wagon
solar flicker
#

aww poor you

limber wagon
#

lol

rigid eagle
#

hey wait a second yours has leech!

#

i want a refund!

limber wagon
#

It'll have a socket as soon as I can bring myself to spam visions

strange python
#

ah yes that fun forced thing that no one likes

rigid eagle
#

kekw kekw kekw socket farm

#

tbh i liked the idea of visions when i first got back to 8.3

limber wagon
#

Visions were a blast at first

rigid eagle
#

too bad the loot gets hard shit on by both m+ and mythic raid..

limber wagon
#

But after god knows how many runs, they really start to lose the sparkle

rigid eagle
#

yeah it's literally just stormwind/org

#

we afk there all the time already

strange python
#

they are just not challenging but random bullshit can just one shot you

#

"fun"

rigid eagle
#

headbutt into split personality

strange python
#

that onhe is fun 8)

rigid eagle
#

that forced jump thing pulling an extra pack

strange python
balmy condor
#

Head butted into split personality, and while you’re disoriented the fear circle spawns and you get that too, so you die and proc your on-death res

rigid eagle
#

visions are still more fun than wiping in group content because someone else fucks up mechanic

balmy condor
#

Literally 15 seconds of watching your character go through animations

strange python
rigid eagle
#

but man it could be a lot better

strange python
#

torghast looks better

#

since u get giga OP

#

with all the powers

#

and just chill

balmy condor
#

Anyway I was angry about that back to afk

rigid eagle
#

lul i wonder if rogues will have more sustain for torghast tho

#

they're nerfing vial, we're losing breath of the dying, leeching poison/soothing darkness aren't getting any buffs, and you can't even spam reroll for grand melee anymore

odd heath
low girder
#

oof

cinder ferry
#

In a boss fight what should be my highest damage skill?

balmy condor
#

garrote

cinder ferry
#

What does it mean if my envenom is

balmy condor
#

you're playing wrong, or not using the exsang build

#

envenom should be highest if you're using a TB/poison build

#

if you have logs to look at

#

that would help

cinder ferry
#

I dont currently. Is exsang a corruption skill?

balmy condor
#

its a talent

#

right next to tb

cinder ferry
#

Ah I'm in tb

balmy condor
#

then you're fine

umbral rapids
#

ur fine

wooden crag
#

how much haste am i looking at to play with crimson tempest?

umbral rapids
#

Sim it but usually 60% according to Mr Whispyr

slim pebble
#

I'm at 70% now and it just recently started simming higher

umbral rapids
#

I’m 70% and it doesn’t sim higher because I have a ttk trait

wooden crag
#

damn so i am missing a good few expedient

steel ridge
#

I am at 70% and it sims within 50 dps of poison bomb

paper verge
#

Hey guys im new to the game and rogue discord, great channel, exactly what i was searching for

steel ridge
#

Probably highly dependent on mastery

tropic ocean
#

Hi friend

tropic ocean
#

New player, picks rogue

#

Uprising career

paper verge
#

haha well it's been 5 months so technically not new nvm

tropic ocean
#

Was it the best 5 months ever?

normal olive
paper verge
#

in terms of mmorpg yes it has .. came from a game called rift lol

paper verge
#

decided to post because I saw everyone on wow logs using the exas build..not sure why my spec sims higher in the standard tb master set up

naive lynx
#

Are those "honor avhievements" account wide?

#

for bote

#

3

crimson palm
#

in terms of mmorpg yes it has .. came from a game called rift lol
@paper verge is RIFT alive lmao

paper verge
#

not at all very steady population decline. No content for years, same raid for like almost 3 years now it's just a mess of a game

turbid galleon
#

I got perma banned from rift cause the devs hated my guild :(

paper verge
#

ill take a guess .. coriolis?

#

or mate

turbid galleon
#

lol yea cori, was part of their second ban

paper verge
#

wow well nice to see to players from rift here that's cool

tropic ocean
#

Exsang is superior

#

But takes quite some gear

paper verge
#

yea i just finally looked on this discord and found out about the exas build xD

#

just need to get comfortable with it

wind flume
#

is double dose a good build? ive been focussing on ss and eb

balmy condor
#

SS EB is for m+

#

SS HoD/bbi is for raids

#

DD is usable but it’s worse

quiet radish
arctic walrus
#

2 expedients and do mythic

balmy condor
#

More sockets

#

(I didn’t look at the sim cause mobile quick sims but I assume sockets)

#

It’s always sockets

wind flume
#

when simming for mythic plus whats the best setting, i see everyone posting patchwerk

balmy condor
#

That’s cause we’re simming raids

#

Aoe is usually 4-6 target 1min-1:30min

paper verge
#

so in st nya fights yea I do alright @wind flume but i run into terrible problems in keys, im grateful I found this channel

balmy condor
#

3x SS in keys

#

Or you’ll hate life

#

Not having 3x SS in keys is kinda just trolling

wind flume
#

i managed to get 3xss and 2xeb but i have to downgrade to the 465 to get the second eb

#

fucking residuum gamble

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s fine

#

You can easily do 20’s with 465 azerite

#

Especially with all the corruption craziness

paper verge
#

thanks @balmy condor .. im just going to start using the exas build/gear set up

balmy condor
#

Np frendo

balmy condor
#

Hectic add cleave

#

Kinda weird

#

But ok

#

Those corruptions are kinda jank

#

Need to work on those

#

That’s also a lot of haste

wind flume
#

yea i pvp mostly so i get those corrputions bleeding over to my pve mythic set

#

but next week that will change

balmy condor
#

Yeah gushing kinda not great in m+ honestly

#

It’s okay

#

But it’s not great

wind flume
#

looks like they have this beta dungeon slice setting thats supposed to sim 6 min of a m+

balmy condor
#

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend it

#

It works and does it’s job

#

But the pulls are a little small

#

And it values single target pretty high

#

It’s great for outlaw tho I hear

#

All multi-target simulations have upsides and downsides

#

There’s no one sim that will get it perfectly correct

#

Because keys are different, levels are different, affixes change, the way the tank pulls changes, your group composition changes

#

There’s too many variables

umbral rapids
#

It’s a good baseline

#

But no reason to trust it 100%

balmy condor
#

Yeah you can use it, it’s fine

#

I personally don’t use it

#

But you can use it if you so choose

#

Just take it with a grain of salt

umbral rapids
#

I honestly don’t even look at the numbers

balmy condor
#

I mean the numbers are gonna be janky anyway cause weird multi-target sim stuff

#

Doesnt really reflect what will actually happen

#

It’s supposed to give an approximation

#

So the number is basically meaningless

umbral rapids
#

Yeah I just compare

#

Then i run a short patchwerk

#

Though at this point i barely get upgrades anyway

balmy condor
#

I never push on tyran keys

#

So I’m always running EB crit anyway

umbral rapids
#

Same

#

Wait

balmy condor
#

I use my raid set in workshop

#

And KR

umbral rapids
#

Ye makes sense

balmy condor
#

But I don’t run it in junkyard

#

I don’t trust in the zap bot enough to run haste on fort junkyard

#

But I know people who do that

#

And it works good

umbral rapids
#

I play vita in junkyard

#

But i’m honestly not sure how much difference it makes

balmy condor
#

You don’t always play vita?

umbral rapids
#

I play outlaw in keys whispyr

balmy condor
#

Yuck

umbral rapids
#

No u

balmy condor
#

Get out of my channel

#

Fake rogue

umbral rapids
#

But but

balmy condor
umbral rapids
#

I have 8 expedients

storm perch
#

Zap is superior with haste build

balmy condor
#

Well yeah i get that obviously

#

I just don’t believe in it being superior enough

storm perch
#

One of the easiest keys on tyran

#

Junk

balmy condor
#

Freehold tho

#

Pog

storm perch
#

Cause buffs do everything for you

balmy condor
#

People timing 28 freeholds yesterday

#

Getting one shot in a 29 freehold later tho

storm perch
#

Hmm. I just run 19-21 keys

#

Not sure how painful is 28))

balmy condor
#

Very painful

umbral rapids
#

Veeeeryyyy painful

balmy condor
#

Ryfie had to switch his strikes to versatiles cause the dot from alunza in atal one shot him in a 27 two weeks ago

#

And he’s just sitting there

storm perch
#

Oh my...

balmy condor
#

Fort week btw

#

Temple conduction on first boss also rips peoples ass in half

#

You either cloak or you die

storm perch
#

Is there gonna be maintenance today?

balmy condor
#

There already was

storm perch
#

Patch with sl?

balmy condor
#

No

#

They merged servers

#

And added some background code in preparation

#

Probably assets and some core refactoring

#

Nothing insane

#

The patch was like 60mb

storm perch
#

How much crit in % do you have for m+ build?

umbral rapids
#

34

#

:)

balmy condor
#

I think I’m running 54% atm

#

Id have to double check

#

Might be 56%

storm perch
#

I got 45, but have some crit proc corruption on it

paper verge
#

geez i have so much to learn reading all this xD

balmy condor
#

Deadly momentum is fine

umbral rapids
#

What’s your rogue’s name Whispyr

balmy condor
#

I wonder

#

What Whispyr’s name is

#

Garbage rogue though

#

Don’t do what I do

umbral rapids
#

I hate you

balmy condor
#

There’s a million better rogues you can copy from

#

I’m just the discord guy

storm perch
#

Are y using cancel aura for bote?

vernal lichen
#

for pve openers in the pins it says g1 g2 g3, does that mean apply garrote to 3 targets? or apply garrote 3 times to 1 target?

balmy condor
#

No

umbral rapids
#

Which server ?

storm perch
#

Or it's not abig gain?

umbral rapids
#

@vernal lichen 3 targets

vernal lichen
#

mk ty

balmy condor
#

The number shows the target you’re hitting

umbral rapids
#

mk to you too

vernal lichen
#

and then r1 the 4th target? or the 3rd

storm perch
#

Guess in pins were aoe openers

umbral rapids
#

1st one actually

balmy condor
#

So in 2 targets you would g1 g2 g1

vernal lichen
#

oh rly?

#

ok

balmy condor
#

Doesn’t matter

#

You can rupture whatever

#

Ideally the prio target if there is one

umbral rapids
#

Which server

balmy condor
#

3 garrotes into a CT into a rupture into a fok spam

#

I’m on a52

#

;-; no bully

#

I’m actual trash

umbral rapids
#

No tier 25 progress

#

Pog

balmy condor
#

?

umbral rapids
#

idk

balmy condor
#

That’s definitely wrong

#

Oh

umbral rapids
#

That’s the only rogue i find on a52

balmy condor
#

My in game has a character

umbral rapids
#

Called whispyr

balmy condor
#

í

#

Use that I

paper verge
#

have 2 quick questions..so i run exp build with one r3 stars for most of the st fights in nya..I'd like to switch that out..should i go more expedients? and in keys what trinkets go well with ss exas build?

umbral rapids
#

Bruh

#

You jebaited me

balmy condor
#

WHISPYR WAS ALREADY IN USE

#

@paper verge more exped, vita + plume/gcb/coral

#

Coral being the worst option

paper verge
#

i also finally got an ashvanes today

balmy condor
#

Dice work good too

paper verge
#

ahh ok tysm

strange python
#

I expected worse whispyr

#

Ty for doing all of this

storm perch
#

You should aim for 7x 3exp and 1x 2exp

quiet radish
#

i hate how coral 455 with socket sims higher than plum 😦

balmy condor
#

I’m not a big dick

#

I just like helping

#

And spreading love

#

:)

shadow wedge
storm perch
#

In a heavy haste build plum should outsim coral

#

And gcb is op

quiet radish
#

im at 74% haste unbuffed it still has a +800

umbral rapids
#

Whispyr is mvp

storm perch
#

Ah well

#

Yiu got 455

#

Mine only 445politics

strange python
#

Ur big dick isnt measured by logs

#

Dw about it

balmy condor
#

Truuuuuu

#

I need to actually push keys this week tho

#

I quit for 3 months in this patch

#

So it looks real shitty

paper verge
#

awesome thanks guys I'll go for that then

strange python
#

Sin players have egos thinking they are upcoming talent so u being humble is better than all of that shit

balmy condor
#

:) thanks boo

#

I’m just glad I can help

storm perch
#

We are not talents

paper verge
#

lone I can't even handle thing from beyond that well yet soo i def have 0 ego

#

lo

#

lol*

storm perch
#

Just an A grade class in game

balmy condor
#

And not have like 9 people instantly go NO YOU CANT DO THAT YOURE NOT SELLING MYTHIC KILLS AND RUNNING +27 KEYS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

And then me sitting here going haha discord man go brrrrr

storm perch
#

Running 54 corruption for heal logs

umbral rapids
#

Hey

#

I was just curious

#

No judging anything

balmy condor
#

Good thing to do

umbral rapids
#

You’re 10 times the player i am

balmy condor
#

Curiosity fosters learning

umbral rapids
vital raptor
#

things from beyond are the healers problem

balmy condor
#

Facks

umbral rapids
#

I should push this week but jesus christ I’m lazy

#

Huh? Play outlaw and say fuck to thing from beyond

balmy condor
#

Outlaw angery

umbral rapids
#

It’s ok

#

Sin was played in mdi

balmy condor
#

Tru

#

Not for the aoe tho

umbral rapids
#

That 3 targeys cleave on last boss

balmy condor
umbral rapids
#

Holy fuck

#

That was beautiful

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Big chungus

umbral rapids
#

My man was pumping

storm perch
#

Seen sin in td at mdi

#

Golden guardians used him, i guess

balmy condor
#

Yeah he used a full raid haste set

#

They got 70% from cannons

#

So he was only there for boss damage

umbral rapids
#

First cannon 43% trash

#

kek

storm perch
#

Interesting to see what will happen to mdi in sl with target limits

balmy condor
#

Smaller pulls

storm perch
#

Was wondering mages also got target limits for aoe?

balmy condor
#

Idk

#

Ignite changes like every other week

#

Don’t play one so idc tbh

sick oyster
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
harsh anchor
#

Am I trolling if use racing pulse

balmy condor
#

no

#

racing pulse is fine

#

its just not great

harsh anchor
#

Dope - it's filler until I finish my last 2 expedient

balmy condor
#

with a lot of exped's it gets really good tho

#

sims higher than HM3 for some people in the final build

honest vessel
#

does feint work on thing from beyond without elusiveness?

balmy condor
#

no

honest vessel
#

coo

buoyant elbow
#

I'm using raidbots to sim dps.. and it has Garrotte uptime at 96% on a 1 boss, Patchwerk style fight, 5 minutes... is this broken?

balmy condor
#

no

#

waht seems wrong with it

buoyant elbow
#

If you're in a boss fight for 5 constant minutes, unless you vanish, you can't have Garrotte uptime of 96%...

#

garrotte 18 seconds, vanish 2 min cooldown to reapply

balmy condor
#

garrote has a 6 second cd

#

you reapply out of stealth

buoyant elbow
#

Are you kidding me? Am I this stupid, hold on a moment 😄

#

Logging into the game to look at something

dense blaze
#

Oh boy.

vast forum
#

boy oh boy

#

i remember 1 guy in late legion coming here

stark patio
#

Lol

buoyant elbow
#

I'm a moron

vast forum
#

not knowing garrote is no longer a stealth only ability

drifting cloud
#

its fine atleast you have it on bars outside of stealth

buoyant elbow
#

I haven't played Assassination since WotLK

balmy condor
#

happens to all of us

buoyant elbow
#

I played Subtlety and to me it was always an instealth ability

balmy condor
#

everyone derps a little

buoyant elbow
#

It's ok if you want to point and laugh a little lol

strange python
#

hey, any M nzoth tips?

balmy condor
#

don't die

strange python
#

like, when bursting w/ vanish

#

should i use on psychus or just save for nzoth?

dense blaze
#

Do what your raid needs

drifting cloud
#

ask your raid leader

dense blaze
#

I used it on Psychus for prog and these days it's like one fire mage using combust on him and rest of the CDs are for boss damage

strange python
#

we are starting prog right now so i dont really have an idea about the damage

#

carapace was actually pretty easy, so i think it's worth saving burst for nzoth

#

do you guys prefer plumage

#

or galecaller?

bold remnant
#

everyone seems to use vita but my 475 dice sims higher trust sim or follow the pack?

devout fiber
#

Guys

balmy condor
#

vita

devout fiber
#

I think my WoW or AAP is bugged

balmy condor
#

for the party puff

devout fiber
#

It's telling me to pickup quests that just aren't there

balmy condor
#

that's AAP

north pond
#

whats max corrupt i should be at? im exang bleed haste build

balmy condor
#

no higher than 59 in raid imo

#

if you're doing prog, 39 is good to not have ridiculous tfb procs

vital haven
#

I AM FINALLY IN MY FINAL FORM

#

DOUBLE CLOCKWORK HEART

balmy condor
#

took you long enough

vital haven
#

hey man i had to get 20k echoes

#

you know how many weeks i had to resist the urge to gamble

naive lynx
#

what's that o.O

vital haven
#

its bis azerite setup for fast fights

shut garnet
#

time to beat nibren?

vital haven
#

nibrensk?

#

no one can beat that guy that guy is sick

arctic walrus
#

@light jacinth this guy's talkin shit

vital haven
shut garnet
light jacinth
#

look at this dudeeeee

#

idc if someone beats me

#

i got r1 idc anymore

#

raid logging to play runescape hyperazerite

strange python
#

r1 poggers

fallow otter
#

@vital haven damn is actually 850dps switching shoulders for 3min fight from goraks

shut garnet
#

i imagine the chest isnt as big

#

since ur dropping 10ilvls on SS as well

#

but probably still a 1.2-1.3k dps up having double clockwork on 3 min

fallow otter
#

Yeah I don't have chest, so didn't sim

fallow otter
#

That's quite alot, I want expecting that much

strange python
#

Do you guys do m+ with exang build?

#

Without echoing blades

fallow otter
#

Yes

#

Works fine but I'm not doing anything high

#

Only like 22, 23

#

I should point out that when you say exang build im assuming you mean full haste raid

strange lichen
#

do you guys use focused resolve or unbridled on single target? focused right?

solar pendant
#

People still running outlaw for mythic nzoth?

fallow otter
#

Yes but there is no need if you have some cleave in your raid

#

@strange lichen focused for St for my sim

@fallow otter yes full haste build, I thought I was the only one using it.

balmy condor
#

yeah people here love full haste

#

it works well in some dungeons

#

you would just go a raid build

#

with hod and stuff

#

EB needs crit so that kinda sucks

strange python
#

My full haste build has more dps in sim for dungeon compared to my outlaw. So I scrap all@my outlaw gear I’m sin full time now lol

balmy condor
#

simming dungeons is pretty troll

#

multi-target is difficult to judge

#

and it'll be different from week to week

strange python
#

Ok, I love my sin rouge, he just melts bosses in dungeons, but only doing +15-17 though I’m not that high end gamer lol

fallow otter
#

There’s also guides up top and in the pins for further knowledge

I've looked at those, just trying to figure out whether it's more worth gambling for 480 chest or shoulders between Assassination and Outlaw

balmy condor
#

Really up to what you play and where you play it

#

I would suggest droptimizer as well

Currently have a Circlet of Enveloping Leviathan or Stygian Guise for helm. Tentacle-Laced Spaulders for Shoulders. (All 480) And a 465 Vest of Reverent Adoration. Haven't had luck with Heroic N'zoth or Carapace.

Group killed Vex Mythic last week though might not be back there for a bit, and any Mythic Carapace or N'zoth would be far off if ever with this group.

There's seems to be roughly 2 out of the 7 pieces for each slot that are worthwhile. But I don't know if replacing bad-meh shoulders is worthwhile over trying to get a 480 chest first. With access to Vex.

#

I don't play sin in raid currently, was trying to get a setup for it, but I've been optimized towards Outlaw. Never daggers from Ra-Den, but two bad statted 475 daggers

Is there an easy way to see if you clip an empowered garrote without looking at cast and timeline logs? Or any of my esg bleeds?

Does raden drop daggers?
