yeah

#

tbh the fact that I cant get gladi and therefore won't get the achi title kinda killed any motivation to grind

cyan bone
#

yea if you do it in honor week you can do r2-> r3 in a day

tranquil stirrup
#

would be great if we knew when the next honor week is

drifting cloud
#

open the calendar and check

balmy condor
tranquil stirrup
#

oh

#

on the 9th of september

#

yeah, just checked

#

thanks for the info

thorn moth
#

on nzoth for down under phase

#

do you just dot up everything? or just boss

#

doing it first time no idea what im doing

shrewd night
#

My primary task was dotting psychus and slowing smallies

balmy condor
#

everything dies too quick just hit the tendies with a rupture and run away

#

jump off the side

thorn moth
#

no actual nzoth

shrewd night
balmy condor
#

if you can hit nzoth you pump like a bitch

shrewd night
#

You specified down under phase

thorn moth
#

yeah like

#

psychus

#

rupture the tendies

cyan bone
#

you guys think its worth using honed mind 1 over expe 3?

thorn moth
#

and focus tendies

#

?

#

psychus**

balmy condor
#

@cyan bone such is the BiS, yes

#

oh wait

#

honed mind 1

#

no

#

don't do that

#

that's trash

shrewd night
#

isnt hm1 like... 10 corr?

cyan bone
#

15

balmy condor
#

15 me thinks

#

yeah

cyan bone
#

I got it on my belt by default

balmy condor
#

but I mean

cyan bone
#

thats why I am asking myself whether I should replace it or not

balmy condor
#

sim.....it?

shrewd night
#

Cleanse that shit, only reason to consider hm3 is to fill out your corruption budget with max resistance

balmy condor
#

^

cyan bone
#

kk

strange python
balmy condor
#

I use hm3 in my subtlety set koffing :)

shrewd night
#

Put severe3 to get 34% crit

#

Its rubbing off of me, fuck off haste

balmy condor
strange python
#

use glimpse for vanish to line up with vop vendetta

VOP major in this day and age

strange python
balmy condor
#

I honestly hate this channel

strange python
#

no minor

#

ofc

#

major would be troll

shrewd night
#

Let me rephrase

#

Vop minor in this day and age

strange python
#

Imagine not using glimpse by now

balmy condor
#

if we hype up glimpse enough do you think infexious will clickbait a video on it

harsh sphinx
strange python
#

obviously

#

tell WCL to reste logs

#

and everyone use glimpse

#

so infexious will make sick vid

balmy condor
#

they do that without us telling them

strange python
balmy condor
#

skitra got 40% HP buff WELL WE GOTTA RESET ALL STARS GUYS

#

turns out to be bug

shrewd night
balmy condor
#

WELL WE GOTTA RESET ALL STARS GUYS

shrewd night
#

fucking skitra

harsh sphinx
#

phase 4?

strange python
#

Venom rush + glimpse is insane

#

I sim 48k with it

harsh sphinx
balmy condor
#

dude in shadowlands, simming 48k is huge

strange python
#

true

#

new meta

balmy condor
#

im on board

strange python
#

going to stack up echoes for glimpse

shrewd night
#

If paladins can have perma wings, surely rogues cant have perma vendetta amirite kekw

balmy condor
#

ya ever heard about VoP major koffing? kekw

strange python
#

glimpse + IT combo sounds even better

harsh sphinx
#

but why do you refresh rupture at 7 seconds if pandemic is a thing?

balmy condor
strange python
#

wtf is that emote

#

nvm that's me finding my cursed sims kekw

fleet whale
#

people talking about VoP major yet they still sleep on the Venom Rush build

royal lantern
#

can we rename this channel into 34% pls?

fleet whale
#

next April Fools maybe

#

if people even remember the whole 34% thing by then lol

strange python
#

continue it in SL

#

continue the legacy

fleet whale
#

34% crit looks like it's gonna be hard to hit the first tier of SL

strange python
#

just go full out crit

fleet whale
#

and have 2% haste

#

legion style

#

I actually remember the goal back in Antorus was to have 0% haste lol

strange python
#

tf

fleet whale
#

haste was really bad back then

#

didn't speed up our dot ticks

strange python
#

o.O

fleet whale
#

it was legit worse than agi

thorn moth
#

when do you pop cds on nzoth

#

on psychus ?

fleet whale
#

so you just stacked mastery with some crit thrown in

balmy condor
#

on nzoth

fleet whale
#

and some verse

#

what difficulty

strange python
#

If you need on psychus. But with current Gear you probably don't, so Nzoth

fleet whale
#

psychus log cheese... too bad WCL doesn't count it though lol

last root
#

true, haste didnt do anything good for assa back in legion

fleet whale
#

thankfully blizz made it good in BFA

#

and now sin doesn't have a single dead stat

last root
#

true

vagrant flicker
#

anyone got a WA for empowered poison tracker? I was not able to see it on the new pinned post by Mainx

balmy condor
#

by who

#

empowered poison

#

you what

vagrant flicker
#

the new pinned post by Smoker, sorry

strange python
#

i think the luxthos wa has that in it

balmy condor
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

there's empowered bleeds on that one

#

empowered poisons don't exist

vagrant flicker
#

bleeds

#

fuck me

#

😄

#

sorry

balmy condor
#

mizeroks has them for sure I think, as does afenar

vagrant flicker
#

thanks

thorn moth
#

ay aotc

#

highkey got carried e_e

strange python
#

idk why pastebin is offline

#

but thats the luxthos things (just the bleeds) a bit resized and modified

#

i added pandemic text size and color change to it

#

also shows when things are exsanguinated (2 at least, not for ct)

vagrant flicker
#

thank you @strange python

strange python
#

np

red pagoda
#

luxthos has empowered bleeds for everything but crimson tempest

#

kinda annoying

royal lantern
#

@fleet whale bruh,i almost forgot about haste doing 0 at all for assa

#

like, it gave you.....more attack speed when autoattacks where 0,5%of your dmg

silent crescent
#

Dont forget boosted base energy regen which is like 0

strange python
#

#

with that T21 4p legendary coming back, haste is sure becoming an interesting stat again

#

What corruptions should I be looking for

balmy condor
#

Expedient for raids, severe/strike for dungeons, gushing wounds for pvp

#

If you’re looking for all around PVE, expedient is probably the way to go, if you’re focusing m+, a crit build works fine in raid but if you don’t have the azerite now, good luck getting it by the end of the expansion

vagrant plover
#

What haste value should I be using before switching to exsanguanate? Or should I sim to find out

balmy condor
#

Around 30% if you have decent azerite, and always sim

vagrant plover
#

Ok thank you!

balmy condor
#

We have no stat breakpoints of any kind, in any PVE situation, regardless of build

#

So it’s really just your character

vagrant plover
#

I’ve been stacking crit this whole time but still having success

#

I’m guessing haste is only marginally better

fathom swift
#

What content are you doing?

vagrant plover
#

Only heroic atm

#

But looking to prog, came back 3 weeks ago and the catchup is tough

fathom swift
#

Sure you can run zero corruption and still do heroic

#

Haste has a much higher potential output

rancid spade
#

haste was god in wotlk

main forge
#

gearing up... I would value haste > crit >= mastery >= versa but only for the same ilvl pieces.

#

higher ilvl is usually > lower. save for trinkets, mechagon(from behind, and haste proc) rings(over other rings), and weapons with natural corruption(if you don't have the echoes to hit cap and get your best corruption)

#

and Head shoulders and chest with better azerite traits

#

But as whispyr said, we don't really have breakpoints. The numbers are all pretty even. if you have 2000 points crit and 1000 haste.... you can likely do the same damage as 2000 points haste and 1000 points crit.

If you’re looking for all around PVE, expedient is probably the way to go, if you’re focusing m+, a crit build works fine in raid but if you don’t have the azerite now, good luck getting it by the end of the expansion
@balmy condor which azerite is needed ? Pvp ?

balmy condor
#

EB/SS stuff for a crit build in m+ specifically

#

SS/EB only comes from the vendor

#

So your time gated from the start

covert mesa
#

Which covenant do rogues prefer right now?

balmy condor
#

Bone spike

umbral rapids
#

@balmy condor spam fok and envenom in m+

#

?

balmy condor
#

Sure

#

Live your life

umbral rapids
#

That was a question but ok

#

Did the beach in TD as sin with only one EB kek

balmy condor
#

Ouch

umbral rapids
#

It was just a 15

#

Just experimenting

balmy condor
#

and to your question, you would ep weave

umbral rapids
#

I have 3 SS/EB if I want

balmy condor
#

With either CT in big aoe, Envenom for prio, or rupture for energy

umbral rapids
#

I can’t find aoe rotation in pinned and wowhead :(

#

Fok was giving me max cp each time

#

Must’ve missed it 😅

#

Just woke up thanks ausrr

#

Rest of the rotation you just spam fok, envenom, refresh CT and rup, and vendetta a prio target ?

tropic ocean
#

y

umbral rapids
#

Sounds simple enough

balmy condor
#

It is very simple

umbral rapids
#

"Hardest" part would be to track bleeds

balmy condor
umbral rapids
#

Man i wasted dozens of cp in that beach pull 😂

balmy condor
#

As you should

#

Well maybe not with 1 EB

umbral rapids
#

I’ll try a workshop maybe later

#

Though raid build is probably better there

balmy condor
#

100%

umbral rapids
#

Really thinking of just playing sin in that dungeon

#

Outlaw feels so bad there

shut garnet
#

why

#

there’s plenty of stuff that needs ccing

vagrant plover
#

Well crit sims higher for me for some reason

rancid sphinx
#

i feel crimson tempest does more dps than pb or am I wrong ?

tropic ocean
#

possibly yes

#

its the go to talent mostly

i am going to murder myself

i deal more dmg then them, i play the mechanics right, my CC abilities are 95% on Cooldown XD

You can always make your own group 🙂

normal olive
#

Just took 1 hour to do a siege 15 because the tank allways went afk for a minute or 2 during last boss

strange python
#

lol

vagrant plover
#

hmm can someone just double check that im simming this correctly? its telling me that crit>haste for me atm

tropic ocean
#

Pick outlaw

#

Never use gouge anyway

#

😎

fallow otter
#

@vagrant plover looks fine dood, just need some more drops for azerite options and expedient

#

then you'll see haste start being valued more

vagrant plover
#

alright thanks!

#

drest progression tonight

#

any tips

normal olive
#

Dunno Drest was pretty easy

night vale
#

dot up the big add that spawns during the organ phase, and dont die :p

normal olive
#

Drest not ilgy

night vale
#

oh yeah

#

i cant read

#

xD

normal olive
#

Don't go into basher without a heal is a big one

night vale
#

yeah, should have a healer assigned to follow melee into the cloud to kill tentacles

#

i ran breath major too

#

sniped resets

red pagoda
#

make sure to feint every enropic crash(obviously)

normal olive
#

yeah

#

don't stand in beams

#

don't get mc'd

#

and try to line the orbs with your cd's

uncut schooner
#

Gotcha. 🙂

#

Also I managed to get ahold of CLF today.

#

rank 3

normal olive
#

A big one for us was that we had more then enough boss dmg

#

And lacked dmg on tentacles

night vale
#

yeah falling behind on tentacles was our issue too, but with corruption and dps now its probably a non-issue

#

idk tho

normal olive
#

Well we are progressing atm and killed drest last week ^^

red pagoda
#

especially the maw tentacles, for every1 alive an extra muttering of insanity gets cast

#

although we rogues can't do much about that

night vale
#

oh mb! yeah basically dont fall behind on tentacles, thats pretty much the hardest thing, boss will die

normal olive
#

yeah

#

we are doing ilgy progress tonight

#

can't wait to wipe for 3 hours

night vale
#

yeah it was rough but we did the non dispell strat.

I think now its easier to just dispell.

We had a tank trolling on progress and kept using null barrier major and dispelling himself and wiping the raid

normal olive
#

well we have to many melees for no dispell

#

so we tried some diffrent things and now we are just dispelling everything

#

we allways wipe because on guy randomly dies

night vale
#

yeah, it happens, youll get it. once the healer team get the dispelling clean then its easy :D

just gotta make sure people dont die with big circles to thing from beyond or the beam, thats what most of our wipes were

normal olive
#

Yeah it's getting better for us, the problem we have is that we need to pug some since we are only like 16-17

night vale
#

ah that sucks.

I was in a guild like that in legion, eventually gave up with them and ended up in a guild that suits me a lot better, 2 days a week and got CE for this tier at the start of May 😄

#

its a nice chill guild, can play whatever i want

normal olive
#

It's not even my guild i pugged along and now i just progress with them

night vale
#

ooooof

normal olive
#

Don't think we will get much further then ilgy, maybe cara but nzoth will probably not happen

crimson palm
#

Cara is a 2 nights boss

#

I'm tagging along with a pug group too since my guild died at 3/12 feelscryman

#

According to the pinned guide, CLF is better for some duration than BotE, but does anyone has numbers on the actual difference ?

shrewd night
#

I mean.. That depends on your gear and necklevel kekw

#

And usually, like, you can sim that shit

#

so

rocky abyss
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
robust oxide
#

When I use vanish mid fight with vendetta/BoTE do I follow a rotation similar to the start of the fight so garrote>rupture>garrote for the increased duration?

#

Only asking because it seems weird if you already have a high combo rupture on target

#

Also will 465 plumage be an upgrade on 475 wrathion (without simming)

uncut schooner
#

CLF sims better for me both in 3 min durations and 5 min.

#

Though I think the 'sweet spot' for Bote is any fight between 2-3 minutes.

#

When you can line it up with a second burst phase with your vendetta/vanish window.

lyric grail
#

got a question about goushing got 2 in my bank - i got 2 475 rings with crit/haste should i use them or 1 465 and 1 470 haste/versa ring? where do i put it for pvp

shrewd night
#

Also will 465 plumage be an upgrade on 475 wrathion (without simming)

#

I know its about an hour later

#

But this line of questioning boggles my mind

#

Like, do you want to know if its better, or not?

strange python
swift timber
#

@uncut schooner do a sim, scroll to the bottom and copy the raw input run an advanced sim and change max_time="xxx" to whatever you want your fight to be in seconds

devout fiber
#

Did I jsut waste gushing

#

on the 475

strange python
#

for pvp?

main warren
#

if the other option was that 440 then no

scenic shale
#

assuming the fight doesnt take 2 mins is it better to vanish on pull with vendetta or wait for exsanguinate ?

grizzled orbit
#

As soon as empowered garrote is gone, vanish to reapply. Having vendetta or exsang up is secondary

strange python
#

Prob with second exsang, not sure though @scenic shale

tropic ocean
#

assa too exotic for druid tank

grizzled orbit
#

Removed from group. The highest level of disrespect

tropic ocean
#

getting flamed for spec by off meta

#

disrespect

#

😄

balmy condor
#

@robust oxide you can play around the timers if it really bothers you that much to have to overwrite a rupture, but ideally you want to be at 3cp and vanish gar rup gar

Also why you asking if a trinket is better but specifically without simming weirdChamp

uncut schooner
#

@balmy condor Are u aliv

balmy condor
#

No, this is currently a bot controlling whispyr’s discord

#

Whispyr died a long time ago

uncut schooner
#

Sounds like a simp tbh

strange python
#

he died from looking at too many venom rush hidden blades sims

uncut schooner
#

Venom rush is bis talent right?

strange python
#

ofc

uncut schooner
#

Going to be what we pick in SL obv.

#

energy problems?

#

not if you pick venom rush

#

refund 5 energy with mutilate > ??? > profit

strange python
#

true

#

venom rush clearly a better version of alac

uncut schooner
#

obv.

#

who needs haste

balmy condor
#

You ping me and then do this

strange python
#

who needs haste when u can have 5 energy per mut

uncut schooner
#

Oh right hi whispy

strange python
#

it's a 10% refund

balmy condor
#

Have you no shame

strange python
#

insane

uncut schooner
#

Got a bit sidetracked.

#

So I got CLF rank 3 today.

#

And I've got drest'agath progression tonight, do I CLF or Bote.

#

Also, what is the correct usage for CLF beyond the opener.

strange python
#

I use bote

uncut schooner
#

Is there a right and wrong time to use it.

#

@balmy condor pls no abandon me 😦

balmy condor
#

Abandoned

#

You would probably want to bote

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor give me the Vendetta timings for M N'Zoth ty in advance buddy love you

balmy condor
#

And CLF after opener is just on cooldown or lining it up with whatever you can

uncut schooner
#

Time to play Outlaw I guess tinfoil_pepe

strange python
#

didnt hemo list them

grizzled jay
#

well i didn't @ Hemo did i peepo

strange python
uncut schooner
#

I thought Whispyr hadn't killed M N'zoth.

strange python
#

but hemo has r1 log 😠

uncut schooner
#

Because he's not CE or something.

harsh sphinx
balmy condor
#

00 2:30 5:30 7:30 10:30 is general nzoth

strange python
#

whispyr giga memory

#

or i mean whispyr bot*

uncut schooner
#

Still needs to review my wednesday logs for M tbh

#

Just don't look at the Shadhar fight.

#

I died in that fight.

grizzled jay
#

i was watching one and he was using it on first basher after psychus 0 and then n'zoth after each psychus, seemed like a good general flow but didn't know if there were better timings

balmy condor
#

Yeah no that’s pretty legit

uncut schooner
#

I still really don't understand usage for nzoth tbh.

#

Cooldowns still genuinely confuse me.

balmy condor
#

Well you see

#

You use them and they do things

#

And then you can’t use them

uncut schooner
#

Hold on.

#

I've got some cursed logs for you to see.

#

On a heroic raden fight.

balmy condor
#

I would rather you don’t

#

;-;

uncut schooner
#

They are mine.

#

I tried to be Navi.

balmy condor
#

I just woke up

#

It’s too soon

uncut schooner
#

Sec, log folder is big.

#

Will have shortly.

#

@balmy condor Don't have breakfast yet, js.

balmy condor
#

Well that’s easy enough

#

I’m still in bed

strange python
#

that opener

#

wait

#

double rupture?

#

how

#

me confused

uncut schooner
#

I told you.

strange python
#

but

uncut schooner
#

I'm Navi now.

harsh sphinx
strange python
#

how

uncut schooner
#

I defy all logic with openers.

strange python
#

but wouldnt second one be on 0 cp?

balmy condor
#

You can’t make me open that

strange python
#

wut

uncut schooner
#

Read it whisp.

strange python
#

dont

#

open it

balmy condor
#

Hold on I’ll 8 ball it

#

Ye that didn’t help

uncut schooner
#

I'll link the pic if I have to.

#

You will see my cursed logs.

#

I will make you see them.

balmy condor
#

Fine I’ll look, mobile Andy over here

uncut schooner
#

They'll wake you right up.

balmy condor
#

I regret everything

hidden bay
balmy condor
#

It’s the navi opener special

#

If you aren’t vanishing in opener, are you even trolling

#

Why is plumage macro’d to CLF

uncut schooner
#

It's not, its macro'd to vendetta.

#

Like I said.

#

Cursed logs.

balmy condor
#

Oh I see

#

You hit CLF and vendetta expecting vendetta and it gcd cucked you

#

Lmao

uncut schooner
#

Are you impressed.

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s pretty bad

uncut schooner
#

@normal olive Are you proud of me.

#

Now for actual logs.

robust oxide
#

Like, do you want to know if its better, or not?
@shrewd night Yes please. It was a flippant remark.

balmy condor
#

You should sim it

shrewd night
#

@robust oxide Ok, sim it.

balmy condor
#

Koffing in sin channel

uncut schooner
#

Though tbf, with CLF simming higher for me its now telling me it wants to run Bote minor.

#

Whilst the web guide suggests I shouldn't.

balmy condor
#

No

#

That’s what you do

#

And that’s what pinned guide suggests too

grizzled jay
#

yeah but what if you never do bg's and don't have bote 🙂

uncut schooner
#

For you whisp.

#

I'm particularly proud of the skitra logs.

balmy condor
#

Thanks no thanks :)

#

I bet koffing would love to look at them for you

#

He’s very helpful

uncut schooner
#

Who is this Koffing?

balmy condor
#

@shrewd night

#

Really good guy

uncut schooner
#

What if he tells me I'm bad.

#

I'm not ready for the mental shock.

shrewd night
#

Its ok, ur both bad.

#

Birds of a feather, flock together

balmy condor
#

And yet here you are

shrewd night
#

Find me a quote where I say I aint bad

balmy condor
uncut schooner
#

Community figure, must be good right?

balmy condor
#

Just don’t look up the context

#

Context is kinda monkaW

#

Anyway, I’ll take a look at logs when I decide to get up

#

Id rather amputate myself with a butter knife than do log analysis on my phone

uncut schooner
#

Fair, I'll send the drest ones once we do them later. Plus ra'den re-kill should be fun.

#

Tho you'll have to explain to me the correct and wrong time to use CLF over Bote.

#

Because I seem to be getting a lot of mixed responses.

balmy condor
#

That’s because people love bote

crimson palm
#

i drop a load each time i use bote because of how much im in love with it

balmy condor
vast forum
#

clf sims better on single target on all fight lengths except 2.30-3 min, where bote only sometimes overtakes it

balmy condor
#

^ That’s more concise than anything I’ve ever said in my life

#

Yoppa mvp

swift timber
#

just run advanced sim with custom duration

vast forum
#

then again, i haven't seen sims of under 3 min with formless stealing CLF

#

could even make it superior to bote in all fight lengths

grizzled jay
#

what if I run Void major to copy someone who actually farmed BotE major 🙂

vast forum
#

that's a good thing to do if the fight time allows it

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor thoughts?

vast forum
#

i did that even though i had bote r3 at the time

balmy condor
#

No thots allowed

grizzled jay
#

but you're here

balmy condor
#

Formless stealing kinda doesn’t sim

vast forum
#

on my best xanesh log, i stole blood on pull, then stole CLF at 2.30 and fight time was 3.07 or smt

balmy condor
#

So it’s a little hard to compare

vast forum
#

i felt like i'm good at the game 🙂

#

and then i looked at the log and i noticed i dropped my ruptures a few times monkaW

balmy condor
#

But formless stealing is real good if you’re only getting 1 cast anyway

grizzled jay

i noticed on last raid testing

#

that shiv isn't actually TB monkaW

grizzled jay
#

hasn't been since Alpha

vast forum
#

i've been pressing it and playing around it without reading it

#

always wondering why my dmg was shit 😛

#

they promised it would be a weaker TB and then there would be a talent to buff it? or just that it would be TB with talent and just a dispel/poison app without?

grizzled jay
#

the Toxic Blade talent was where Alacrity is currently located

crimson palm
#

where you can always have the cd up
@grizzled jay its gonna delay your 7:30ish vendetta and you won't put any dmg into thots cuz of that

balmy condor
#

They said they would add talent for Tb, turns out it was alacrity

grizzled jay
#

i think all the talent was suppose to do is just make Shiv as good as TB was before SL which is a boring talent anyways. that entire row is boring.

balmy condor
#

Did you just call exsang boring

#

Literally the most interesting talent we have

grizzled jay
#

also the most useless talent unless it gets outside support Kappa

crimson palm
#

hard to beat hidden blades at being the most useless talent

grizzled jay
#

is it? idk i see lots of logs with it

swift timber
#

filtering from the back or

balmy condor
#

Wait

#

You say hidden blades isn’t useless

#

Because you see logs of it

#

But exsang is useless?

#

You realize hidden blades needs “outside support” too right

grizzled jay
#

prove it

balmy condor
#

I ain’t getting out of bed just to show you why hidden blades sucks more than CT

#

That’s bait as hell

grizzled jay
balmy condor
#

Fok base damage sucks nuts

#

So unless you’re running eb on hivemind

#

It’s not even worth considering

#

In any other situation

#

It’s got reverse synergy with our entire aoe playstyle

tropic ocean
#

I mean hb has niche uses as well

#

e.g. hivemind

#

or if u want to pad overall in siege

#

or any other fight where u have burst aoe every x

balmy condor
#

So like I said, hivemind and nothing else

crimson palm
#

lol no

#

it's the worse option on that fight as well

uncut schooner
#

More interesting than alacrity will be anyway.

#

:v

balmy condor
#

I mean it for sure is the worst option on hive

#

But that’s the one fight where the design makes sense

#

Even if it’s still shit

sterile talon
#

@vast forum TB is learned at level 50 something, when you get scaled in raids you for some reason dont get the extra ranks that your character doesn't physically have, i did the same first raid testing until i realized what was going on

Sub rogues don’t get good shadow vault because of it too

Not like it matters since it doesn’t scale

Fun bug with Shadow Vault is the extra Shadow Damage is not dependent on the CP of the Shadow Vault, so a 1CP and 5/6 CP do the same bonus damage.

I almost have 20k TR...I have zero echoing blades traits. I have the standard bleed build Azerite gear. I want to build out a EB/SS set as I already have crit gear socketed for outlaw. Should I buy a specific piece or try and get lucky?

#

For example. I don’t know how many pieces have echoing blades...

balmy condor
#

1 head, 3 shoulders, 2 chests

Specific buy the helm, roll shoulders, then chest

Also if you’re just looking for the set itself, 465’s are fine

Does the Coral WA account for Severes?

overall sure i guess, but for doing damage when it matters i'd say coral

balmy condor

I don't think coral wa accounts for severe

but why does it matter

grizzled jay

what do you mean

balmy condor
#

why do you need the wa to account for severe

grizzled jay

there would be only one reason why i would need that, idk why you're trying to play dumb lol

I have Severe on my gear

uh huh....

and then what

shy dust

Yes but it doesn’t matter since either way you use coral with vendetta

balmy condor

#

it doesn't change usage at all

#

its just information bloat for no reason

uncut schooner
#

@balmy condor In drest, is it the adds of the same name we want to be killing at the same time before moving onto the next set?

balmy condor
#

depends on how your raid lead set up the rotation

shrewd night
#

Isnt the room like barely sloped?

balmy condor
#

but you don't want to kill at the same time

#

cause that stacks the boss energy

#

and that's a no no

#

some spawns you have to kill in different orders

#

also really important where the tanks are putting the seeds

#

so its not really a cut and dry answer

grizzled orbit
#

As whisp said, killing the adds 7 seconds apart is important so the boss isn’t gaining extra energy stacks. As far as the tank seeds go, they’re not as important as they were a few months ago because of the insane damage that groups are doing without it. If your group can keep a smooth pace, you’ll find yourself without anything for melee to kill for a few seconds before the next wave comes up. 😛

balmy condor
#

well if they're progressing then I doubt they just stomp every add spawn to the point where they don't need seeds

#

or else they wouldn't be progressing

uncut schooner
#

Yeah, second set of adds begin to overwhelm us.

#

But I feel like there's a slight lack of knowledge on the adds.

grizzled orbit
#

Agree. My guild killed it for the first time 2 weeks ago in under 20 pulls. The pathing is the hardest part. Once that is set in stone, you’ll be in good shape

balmy condor
#

yeah you need everyone on the same page for it

#

use the seeds

#

tell your raid lead to get his shit together

uncut schooner
#

Like someone just mentioned entropic being the ability the tentacle uses when the other dies.

tbh

grizzled orbit
#

Cv into Feint 1 sec before throws goes off while beating a maws ass. You won’t!!! Lol

uncut schooner
#

In terms of add priority tho

#

What will do greater levels of damage?

#

Like, raid wide damage.

balmy condor
#

tentacles first

#

and then it kinda depends on kicks/stand in bad

#

I'd say maws are more problematic though

unkempt goblet
grizzled orbit
#

Maws suck if you’re melee heavy. Tentacles suck if your healers aren’t aware of your location and there are multiple tentacles up and your raid is split. Keeping the raid group together as often as possible is pretty important. The only time ranged and melee should be on opposite sides of the room is when ranged peel off the boss to start killing their first eye/ maw and melee their first tentacle after hero/Ichor buff has fallen off.

balmy condor
#

@unkempt goblet why you stacking EB without crit

strange python
#

also why EB

balmy condor
#

^^

unkempt goblet
#

What is EB?

strange python
#

echoing blades

#

an azerite trait

unkempt goblet
#

Because i think this makes more dps

#

because of the addgroups

grizzled orbit
#

They die to fast

strange python
#

u got other classes that doesnt have to sacrifice ST for aoe though

#

and adds die giga fast

#

59k on a 2 min pull

#

with 2 targets

#

o.O

#

what traits do u have

#

and you're not using vendetta?

#

what

unkempt goblet
#

I normally use vendetta

strange python
#

your opener just looks giga scuffed

grizzled orbit
#

Are you like hard swapping to adds? Add placement on vex matters so much. If you’re running to stormwind to hit the adds. That’s a problem

strange python
#

dunno what to say about this

unkempt goblet
#

Wait wait

#

Maybe i failed to much at this try

#

here are other trys at different bosses

strange python
#

your opener

is

scuffed

#

please look it up again

balmy condor
#

Yeah was about to say the same thing

#

You should look up the guide in the pins

#

And practice your opener again

#

There’s a lot wrong with that

strange python
#

yes

balmy condor
#

You also shouldn’t use EB without crit

strange python
#

and should not use it in raid

balmy condor
#

Especially not on something like vex where the adds just explode

#

Yep

unkempt goblet
#

Okay

strange python
#

I guess hivemind is fine if u dont have mages?

#

but still wouldnt take it there

unkempt goblet
#

Okay

#

And what pre potion i should use?

strange python
#

u can sim it with this

#

or use focused resolve on ST and unbridled on more than one target

balmy condor
#

You can just unbridled everything

strange python
#

that too

#

Tbh

Does the dps jump happen once you get all your corruptions?

and those are getting scrubbed prety soon

Yes you gear is fine Matze

#

Just the EB is problematic

thorn moth
#

Like would I even realistically be able to deck out in corruptions before prepatch hits

balmy condor
#

But otherwise fine

#

Probably not

#

But if you farm hard

#

It’s possible

thorn moth
#

Whats the point tho pepeez

unkempt goblet
#

How can i send a sim?

thorn moth
#

Send the raidbots url

#

to the report

unkempt goblet
#

like this?

balmy condor
#

No

#

You have to sim

#

And then send the link

#

That’s just an empty top gear

thorn moth
#

After you click go there will be a screen with your damage etc

#

once it sims u

balmy condor
#

Yeah need to get mecha rings

But aside from that

Whats the exsanguinate build?

That’s a very broad question

When is prepatch

#

And will the arena season be over once that drops

thorn moth
#

Is there like a guide about it? I feel like ive only seen poison builds everywhere

balmy condor
#

There’s guides in the pins

#

Prepatch is roughly 6-8 weeks according to best estimates

#

I personally think it’s closer to 6

vast forum
#

nah fam

#

8 at least

#

expansion won't release for at least 3 months, likely 4

#

month of prepatch

balmy condor
#

They released their “do this before the expac goes away” article recently

#

They did that in legion with ~2 months left

#

And I’m pretty sure they did that with ~2 months left on WoD too

#

Wasnt it like , do all +15 keystones, buy a 5M gold mount, and do mythic Nyalotha

#

those ez things 8)

balmy condor

Idk who they talk to

But they’ve been looking pretty accurate

strange python
#

My rl want me to go outlaw for mythic HM. topkek

#

What sim option for HM is actually working better? Dungeon slice?

balmy condor
#

Probably a better question for #outlaw

#

But I would probably consider beast lord and hectic add cleave

#

Regardless though, I wouldn’t recommend simming for 1 specific fight

#

Unless you really know what you’re doing, you’ll just get inaccuracy because you’re simming weirdly

dire spoke
#

I wouldn't even consider simulating add cleave, there are hardly adds in range for a reasonable time

#

except you solo roflmaniac everything

balmy condor
#

yeah I personally wouldn't either, but I assume the RL is making him go outlaw for add control

#

so given that

#

I think its fine

north pond
#

what azerite traits for raid ? i dont have cdf

strange python
#

Sim it

#

With expedient stacking and good Gear, Triple SS and se HoD + mby BBI If you have goraks or CWH

dire spoke
#

^ that and there are guides in pinned messages, maybe start form the bottom

strange python
#

If no expedients, then just DD, HoD and mby one NP or smth like that

#

But really, just sim your top Gear and Check it yourself

balmy condor
#

^ yeap, all of this

strange python
#

I've done HM as outlaw and as bleed assa. I had better results as outlaw even with more incomplete build but it's because outlaw is brainless spec and really simple to take advantage in this fight with some straight forward aoe azeriths that I stacked besides best single target performance of this spec.

#

Also I've seen that Exorsus used only outlaws in that fight when they had good assassination rogues.

#

And I can use Iris as major that is kinda meh for bleed build on assassination.

balmy condor
#

the issue is that outlaw is definitely better aoe but with current corruptions there's classes that just nuke the adds instantly

dire spoke
#

the issue is that your RL is not informed well

balmy condor
#

^

#

that too

strange python
#

I mean we are kinda lack dps in this fight anyway. I'm the one who trying his best most of the time. So far I'm still waiting for Tuesday to make my assa pass 40% static Haste cz I have no right corruption still.

dire spoke
#

There's a difference between lacking dps because people pad on adds instead of playing drone or ravanger properly, or lacking dps because they just don't play the class well generally and/or aren't overgeared. The only real gain with outlaw on this fight are stuns in your rotation, nobody really cares about the small adds

void pecan
#

^ It's not a pad the meters and aoe as much as possible fight.

strange python
#

its just really frustrating finding any +15 as assa ...

dire spoke
#

Just link Seli's rio

strange python
#

'outlaw' pick outlaw you can join * Assa sucks , change to outlaw

#

@strange python not really. I get into all 14-17 as assa.

#

And I'm only 472.

dire spoke
#

People act up like they perform an MDI run with their cute little score numbers

strange python
#

And then they fucked up usually. topkek

#

And leave the key that would be timed if they didn't act like MDI pros.

#

I mean, If you lack DPS on hivemind that's kinda dream territory

#

For assa

#

Adds that live a long time? You have Infinite sustained AoE with EB

#

And CT does more work as well

I wanna try assasiantion build for keys instead of outlaw. what are bis helm chest n shoulders. I have enough to buy 2 specific pieces with residum

balmy condor
#

SS/EB

honest needle
#

so i can def get 3ss and 2 eb i cant decide if i should use gorka tul,shoulders for now with ss and blightborn and buy helm n chest or should i get soemthing else

balmy condor
#

gorak is fine probably

honest needle
#

i wanna kno if i should get helm n chest or helm n shoulders

balmy condor
#

helm is the worst to gamble

#

there's only 1 SS/EB helm

#

2 chests, 3 shoulders iirc

honest needle
#

i have enough to buy 2 specific

#

peices

#

i was gonna buy 2 specific

balmy condor
#

okay?

honest needle
#

what 2 pieces should i go for

balmy condor
#

yeah that's all gibberish to me

#

fuck outlaw

#

you should specific buy helm and chest

#

run the goraks

#

will be fine

honest needle
#

what chest is bis from vendor ?

#

cause theres multiple

#

with ss eb

balmy condor
#

raiment and type II are the same

#

they're both SS/EB/whirl

honest needle
#

how much mastery do i need

#

can i use my crit vers outlaw 475 gear with severe n strike though

balmy condor
#

mastery? we don't stack mastery for keys

honest needle
#

or do i need more masytery

balmy condor
#

crit/vers severe/strike is the build

honest needle
#

so all my crit vers outlaw gear i can use for keys

balmy condor
#

~55-60% crit and then the rest strikes

honest needle
#

for assaisantion and outlaw

balmy condor
#

yeah that's fine

honest needle
#

sweet

#

would u say assasination is better than outlaw

balmy condor
#

nope

honest needle
#

even if 3 eb and 3 ss

balmy condor
#

yep

honest needle
#

so am i wasting my time going for assaisntion azerite ?

balmy condor
#

probably

honest needle
#

i can either buy a bis helm for outlaw thats 200 dps increase

#

or i can get my assasiantion gear

balmy condor
#

sin might do marginally better dps, especially single target

honest needle
#

i feel the 200dps is very minor

balmy condor
#

but you're losing utility

#

and if you're pushing high keys, outlaw can go full vers, and sin struggles with it

#

so

#

if you want to do some keys as sin, have fun, go for it

#

but if you're talking about viability

strange python
#

assa m+ is an acquired taste

balmy condor
#

outlaw is meta

#

sin is not

strange python
#

just try it and see if you like it

#

its very chill

honest needle
#

i love assasination rotation if its same as last expansion

balmy condor
#

its definitely not

#

we fok spam now

#

PB is dogshit

honest needle
#

fok at 3+ targets

balmy condor
#

with EB we actually overcap combo points just for the fok spam

honest needle
#

mut at 2 right

balmy condor
#

with EB fok at 2

honest needle
#

obut i still multipel garrote from stealth then fok spam and get rupture on all targets

#

then spam fisnishers right

balmy condor
#

no

#

you only rupture for energy

#

you maintain CT

#

and spam fok

#

Hey my guild is about to start M Nzoth prog, is there any guidance on how best to Sim for this fight? I've tried searching and couldn't see any clear answers

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything! Just leave at 5 minutes still?

#

Or make longer given the duration of the fight

balmy condor
#

yeah 5 min is fine

proper sage
#

do i stagger my vendetta so its up during my entire toxic blade window or is it not worth

balmy condor
#

why would you need to stagger that

proper sage
#

doesnt vendetta make my abilities do 30% more damage

#

i thought it would be worth staggering w.e. many seconds just so i make sure toxic blade is active in the entire vendetta duration

fallow otter
#

Do the opposite

#

Make sure Tb is up for when your vend is off cd

proper sage
#

hmm

#

that doesnt really make sense to me intuitively but okay i will do that lol
