got the edit?

oblique lark
#

precombat 18 sec + gcb + non vendetta condition font etc

fallow otter
#

o full mage style

oblique lark
#

I had a APL for that, but unfortunately my SSD broke down a couple of days ago

#

ye like fmage

fallow otter
#

i didnt put much effort in tbh but i didnt see one in google

oblique lark
#

not perfect, but you can see the font isn't bad

fallow otter
#

ah wv also

#

did u have 4 friends?

#

or did u solo it

oblique lark
#

its bad experiment nvm

#

just 1 rog ally

#

void better choice

fallow otter
#

but with friends its vnice

#

in sim at least

#

for dog

#

hmmm where did u find the apl

#

i wanna sim it

oblique lark
#

I just did it)

fallow otter
#

probs just try it anyway but still interested

fallow otter
#

its real close with 18 prefont

unreal imp

Will probably get Rival Warlord's Trophy after reset which will let me upgrade a PvP azerite to 475(480). Though I might use it on something else (maybe a crit/vers ring for outlaw to 465+), does anyone know which pieces are theoretically best as alternate gearing options?

Right now I have a choice for shoulders and Spaulders looks like it might be it with Shrouded Suffocation/Double Dose/Overwhelming Power. At least for Exanguinate build which I should be able to switch to this week due to expedient 3 being up.

Though if no one knows off hand I can sim, but it'd probably take a bit with only the free raidbots tier.

fallow otter
#

for raid?

unreal imp
#

yeah for raid PvE

#

Though I could also maybe upgrade a chest I had before for Outlaw too if that ends up making sense. Probably can't gamble any new azerite until a week from today, though I think it was leaning towards only buying specific pieces being worth it at this point.

#

for Sin or Outlaw

cunning swift
#

Does someone have a wa for the shroud countdown in party by any chance? :D

fallow otter
#

there are heaps

#

need to take your pick in regards to what you want

#

disable for raid also, coz most display when other rogues do it

unreal imp
#

Something I have does the shroud countdown in /say. Not sure if it's a WA or ERT or something though

cunning swift
#

Yea I checked that already but I just seem to not be able to find one that shows the cd in party chat instead of just like a personal bar thingy and I have no idea how to correct outdated ones...

fallow otter
#

can change the chat part from say into party

quasi ledge
#

Find one and just change it within the WA settings to /s instead

#

And your own only

cunning swift
#

Awesome thanks :D

fallow otter
#

@oblique lark in that log you WV after exsang

#

you use wv like blood i thought use like clf

oblique lark
#

it is better to use WV before exs of course

#

it's just a habit

fallow otter
#

yup just checkin

#

ta

unreal imp
#

Expedient Day, this is not a drill! (I'm gonna need to grind about 15k+ echoes beyond what I'll have after opening chests today...)

tropic ocean
#

Noice

fallow otter
#

time to get busy

next solar
#

perfectly time 45k echoes for today 🙂 we gucci bois

rip assasination

silent crescent
#

?

loud silo
#

crimson tempest damage nerfed by 10%

#

garrote outta stealth is 80% increase dmg (was 100)

silent crescent
#

Bruh why

strange python
#

no way they nerfed it now?

silent crescent
#

Link

#

Where did you see this

strange python
#

i cant find it

silent crescent
#

And when was garrote even 100?

safe nacelle
#

Not like this...

silent crescent
#

?? Is he quoting a 2018 patch?

#

@loud silo peophammer

loud silo
#

wowhead

#

hotfixes

silent crescent
#

You're quoting august 15th 2018 changes

#

Fucking Pepega

loud silo
#

oh shit

#

im happy now

spice spire
loud silo
#

so sin is untouched yes?

silent crescent
#

Unless you see any changes for 2020

crimson palm
eager ibex
#

If you stack haste do you try for 100% uptime on crimson tempest, and never Exsang it?

strange python
#

u keep CT up yes

#

and u dont force exsang it

eager ibex
#

Ok thx

silent crescent
#

Exsang on it is objectively good, but hurting your other bleeds or delaying exsang to do it is bad

eager ibex
#

Yeah makes sense, thanks! Last question I only have 2 DD, 2 Nothing personal, since they are 480 pieces they're simming better for ST, is stacking haste still a good idea? Or should I aim for other corruptions

tropic ocean
#

haste> all

silent crescent
#

Yeah just go haste and grab better traits when you can

dire spoke
#

tfw you reduce haste next rotation

eager ibex
#

Cheers

ebon walrus
#

hey lloking for some tips for my rogue

strange python
#

Neat I'll hit 70% haste this week

cyan bone
#

Nice, gz

silent crescent
#

@ebon walrus read the pinned guides

upbeat latch
#

is the essence combination BOTE-lucid dreams-conflict and strife-breath of the dying the best combo for 10-20 keys or is this combination only good for high keys? ^^

silent crescent
#

I dont think people change essences for the higher keys, mainly just stacking vers or not

upbeat latch
#

so its the go to combination ?

ebon walrus
#

where should I look to find best corruptions?

silent crescent
#

The pinned guides

bronze dagger
#

Would it be totally stupid to run an avoidance corruption with the haste build? Especially on fights like M N'Zoth? Should be able to get a fair amount

little root
#

just stack IT for feint cdr kekw

bronze dagger
#

Aight that's a no, thanks guys haha

steep obsidian
#

there isnt anything that will kill you outright in mythic unless you screw up or your healers screw up

#

and most of that an avoidant prolly wouldnt save ya anyway 😛

finite moss
#

what can i really improve here

#

i heard the highest sims are ~125k, but believe that is with CLF

strange python
#

I'd say you could also start dropping your sim length

#

Basically why sim for 5 minutes when most fights last 3~

dire spoke
#

Except your raid cant do a 3min fight

#

Which would be awkward

strange python
#

Well
That is awkward

arctic walrus
#

455 ring, not using right food/pot, 2nd dagger, level up your neck

indigo mulch
#

Isent loaded dice better than the PvP trinket?

next solar
balmy condor
#

That happens

next solar
#

build feels so good though

arctic walrus
#

that's crazy you can feel the difference between stat proc trinkets

next solar
#

yeah lol i think i got up to around 13k haste with vita + hero + gale callers

uncut schooner
#

@balmy condor Go to bed.

balmy condor
#

It’s 10:30 in the morning Wdym go to bed

balmy condor
#

We do sims?

uncut schooner
#

Too early.

#

Can't wake up until 1pm.

arctic walrus
#

@balmy condor spit out a better number I haven't bothered looking at my gear in a while

balmy condor
#

124,492

arctic walrus
#

4 minutes was the correct answer

runic kiln
#

my sim keeps waffling between gorak's for blightborne and extravagant for clockwork - any thoughts on which i should go?

balmy condor
#

Whichever you prefer

#

Clock on shorter fights for less rng

runic kiln
#

yeah ive tried that, still waffles between em

balmy condor
#

Clock is consistent if you like that

runic kiln
#

if its preference i want tul so i can put EB back on extrav

balmy condor
#

That’s fine too

runic kiln
#

also telling me to drop SS for Heart on chest (havent gotten cara luck yet) which i found odd

balmy condor
#

DD/SS chest yeah?

runic kiln
#

yeah

arctic walrus
#

you running clf

runic kiln
#

no

balmy condor
#

You running CLF @arctic walrus

arctic walrus
#

you running @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

No me fat

young pebble
#

Should I be using Worldvein over Blood of the Enemy generally, or vice versa, or does it depend?

balmy condor
#

Bote usually

#

But worldvein might sim higher

#

It’s pretty rare tho

vital haven
#

NO WORLDVEIN

balmy condor
#

worldvein check

frosty obsidian
#

what are the best vendetta timings for nzoth?

grizzled jay
#

first basher

#

each shattered ego

#

talk with your RL if you want CDs for mythic phase

frosty obsidian
#

which soak to immune to line up best with evoke anguish timing and vendetta?

#

first time playing sn tn on that fight usually play outlaw :X

grizzled jay
#

haven't gotten that far, dunno :^)

#

probably just watch a few Sin POVs of the fight

grizzled jay
#

because your RL will assign you the immune

#

so try to find a POV that uses the same timings

steep obsidian
#

@frosty obsidian I do the 2nd thought harvester its nice because you can immune the anguish after thats and keep tunneling at about 7:40 into the fight or so

#

but what tnb said

frosty obsidian
#

2nd thought harvest is anguish 4 right?

robust lake
#

I see a lot of people using formless void minor, is there some break point that it sims higher? As it always spits out CFL major - BoD/Iris/BotE

balmy condor
#

formless is used with bote major

worldly condor
#

IS logic loop division or recursion better for sin? or does it not matter

fresh heron
balmy condor
#

you replace lucid for it

#

if you have the haste for it

worldly condor
#

IS logic loop division or recursion better for sin? or does it not matter

balmy condor
#

division has higher uptime

#

so you'd want that

worldly condor
#

okay got it, i got a 475 recursion in my cache today. but im still rocking the division

balmy condor
#

yeah that's a sim question tbh

#

yeah that's a sim question tbh

robust lake
#

Hmm, dunno how much haste i need then, as I was simming BoTE - BoD/Iris/Formless and its like 1-2% lower. And thats with 67% haste?

worldly condor
#

I figured, I still need to farm a socket for it to make it worth it

balmy condor
#

@fresh heron the result if you have a bunch of EB and no crit, so the EB isn't doing you much

#

usually when people run haste in dungeons, you see HoD/gorak, like a usual raid build

#

the EB stuff needs crit to be viable

fresh heron
#

@balmy condor I can swap to those I have also

balmy condor
#

prolly should

#

@robust lake whats the formless uptime in your raid?

robust lake
#

unsure. I guess I can look through logs, but we have been doing prog on nzoth/carapace this past month. So no real good logs to look at

balmy condor
#

usually if tanks are running crucible, its safe to assume ~90%

#

so I would check your sim settings for that

#

not sure what you're simming in terms of uptime

robust lake
#

91% uptime in the sime

fresh heron
#

(changed my azerite pieces btw)

balmy condor
#

you're simming 90% uptime sam

#

doubtful that you'll get that high realisitically

#

should probably run strife over lucid though

fresh heron
#

Reason?

#

(just curious)

balmy condor
#

because you need other people casting essences

#

and with 4 other people vs 16 other people

#

kinda hmmmm

fresh heron
#

I was talkin the strife over lucid.

balmy condor
#

oh

fresh heron
#

The void one makes sense.

balmy condor
#

cause you have a ton of haste and lucid is probably worse single target

#

but in dungeons you have even less reason to get energy back

balmy condor
#

because you're cleaving bleeds

fresh heron
#

Ah shit, alright cool. Thanks.

robust lake
#

Just keeps telling me to take off BoTE and formless. So no idea.

#

And cant make up its mind whether I should be all mastery gems or haste. It changes every sim ><

balmy condor
#

yeah, that's cause CLF is better

#

usually sims higher unless you do some fancy shit with limiting fight lengths

#

and bote minor > formless minor

#

so you see CLF major, and bote minor

#

instead of bote major formless minor

robust lake
#

yeah. Its what ive been running, but then I see everyone elses sims..and im like, what am I missing

balmy condor
#

like what are you missing in general?

robust lake
#

no, like why do their sims say use formless bote and give a higher result

balmy condor
#

because they're more geared than you

#

CLF sims higher for them too

shy axle
#

is there a big uptime difference betwen 3 abilities ring and the behind ring ?

balmy condor
#

bout 15%

#

I still have vels sim open

robust lake
#

Ah, so that sim above by Vaellana would be higher than 124k using CFL?

#

lol, that answered that

balmy condor
#

people just don't use CLF because idk

#

preference

#

ease

#

fight lengths

robust lake
#

yeah, and as you get more geared, you get less uses

balmy condor
#

but it sims higher so

arctic walrus
#

is that apart of your collection now

balmy condor
#

you will forever live in my chrome history

#

next to all the hentai art

fresh heron
#

58 corruption.

#

idk how u do it

#

im annoyed 37.

balmy condor
#

by using pieces that keep you below 60 and above 40

fresh heron
balmy condor
#

for raids you either blind it if you're quick enough

#

or you cloak it if you don't need it for mechanics

#

or you use your active

#

or you take it straight to the dome

#

its not that bad

#

healer mechanic LULW

steep obsidian
#

the snare is waht annoys me more at 58 corruption then the thing from beyond

#

screw that shit as sin

fresh heron
#

I could do it, just full 9, haste amp.

balmy condor
#

that's the dream

fresh heron
#

57 corruption.

last ingot
#

have u read about the conduit put in for rogues so far in shadowlands beta?

royal lantern
#

the poison apply dmg one seems strong?

#

deepens how strong poison dmg will be on live

#

but 100%more should be good, ngl

balmy condor
#

60% mut damage

#

maybe pair that with the bleed on mut lego? does that scale based on mut damage

vestal wren
#

so, whats your favourite of the added contuits?

balmy condor
#

I don't like any of them for sin

silent crescent
#

Dodge conduit with no icd: afk in BGs

vestal wren
#

Fan of Knives damage increased by 8%, and has a 8% increased poison application chance.
does sound quite nice

balmy condor
#

the shiv one at least extends envenom by 3 seconds

#

that sounds interesting

#

might have some curious interactions

last ingot
#

yeah i think conduits for outlaw sounds better for me at least

silent crescent
#

Also dodge conduit would make us gods for dungeon solos if you avoid mage packs

vestal wren
#

they also fixed shiv it does now 20% ap damage

balmy condor
#

the fan one idk

#

its like poison knives, but worse, eb but without the big meaty crits

#

its just "here's that fan buff you wanted"

silent crescent
#

@balmy condor fan application chance with the energy from poison crit leggo?

balmy condor
#

yeah that might be cool

#

but the question is how much does that actually do for us

silent crescent
#

kekw idk

balmy condor
#

cause if the meta is to garrote rupture multidot everything

#

then that seems like big stupid

last ingot
#

we should have something for dungeons I mean, i dont know if this much AOE will be enough

silent crescent
#

Garrote buffed mutilates with mutilate bleed leggo maybe good?

balmy condor
#

sub gets like 30% crit or something on symbols

#

that seems a little nutty

silent crescent
#

Also the bonis dmg for poison application + fok application chance could be nice

#

With MP or something

balmy condor
#

MP meta Pog

silent crescent
#

Just big poison effect stack

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean I can get behind poison build

#

legion poison stackin

#

give me agonizing poison back blizz

#

great design

silent crescent
#

Pog openers with 0 AP applications

balmy condor
#

just ramp harder

silent crescent
#

Cant ramp no energy already gkicked

balmy condor
#

conduit increases poison application

#

should be fine

silent crescent
#

Oh yeah totally

balmy condor
#

successful kicks reducing the cooldown of cloak

#

seems

#

kinda hm

silent crescent
#

Damn my cloak cd still gonna be 2 min i guess

balmy condor
#

slice and dice giving passive healing

#

I sort of like that

silent crescent
#

Passive healing perma dodge rogue with fast cloaks

#

We tank spec???

balmy condor
#

the energy cost reduction on kidney/cheap shot/sap/distract

#

its really ??? to me

#

like why

steep obsidian
#

recuperate is back

rustic gate
#

recuperate?

steep obsidian
#

slice n dice passive healing

balmy condor
steep obsidian
#

kind of memeing

rustic gate
#

oh damn

steel ridge
#

thats the only endurance conduit tho xD

balmy condor
#

yeah but you probably won't be taking endurance conduits anyway

steel ridge
#

dont you have to?

last ingot
#

u have to

balmy condor
#

every soulbind has routes for 3 potency I thought

steel ridge
#

thats what i thought, that you have fixed slots to force endurance and finesse

balmy condor
#

soulbind calculator

#

hold on

#

oh yeah I guess

crimson palm
#

pushed 107k on nzoth

balmy condor
#

they changed it for 3 potency, but still maintained those other ones

#

well

#

I'm sure they'll add more

#

might have to wait till it goes live though at this pace

steep obsidian
#

recuperate was self you kept up in cataclysm sub because it gave you energy so snd heal remind me of that

vestal wren
#

@faint harness i agree the conduits seem rather dissapointing for sin

strange python
#

rip assa

#

you'll be missed

faint harness
#

the mutilate one has to change surely

steep obsidian
#

i dont like the sin coveneants that much

faint harness
#

why would you garrote on cd

steep obsidian
#

bone spike is ok

#

the otehrs feel really meh and annoying to play

balmy condor
#

you don't garrote on CD

#

its reads like if garrote is on the target, you mut damage is increased

silent crescent
#

Ye

faint harness
#

ye i misread it

#

its actually just a flat dmg increase to mutilate

#

is it a reversed double dose perhaps

#

not that bad then

silent crescent
#

I think this makes the mut bleed leggo actually sick

strange python
#

ho boyyy

#

sub gets flat shadow dmg

silent crescent
#

Bc it was so boring before

strange python
#

and we get flat mut dmg

silent crescent
#

Now we get giga muts

strange python
#

guess what will do more

#

hmmmm

faint harness
#

i mean isnt it just double dose?

steep obsidian
#

i hate shit that buffs mut

#

it turns you into a single target bot

#

screw that 😐

balmy condor
#

where's the suggestion box to turn fok into :mut:

silent crescent
#

We got aoe options too lol

steep obsidian
#

yeh

mellow pier
#

Weve been a single target bot for 6 years

#

????

silent crescent
#

Fan of muts

steep obsidian
#

i konw

faint harness
#

there is a fok conduit

loud brook
#

trying outcrimson tempest, at how mant targets is it better to crimson tempest rather than putting up a rupture

grizzled jay
#

the shadow damage for sub is kinda nuts

faint harness
#

the deadly poison buff with the fok conduit will slam in m+

grizzled jay
#

since Evis's shadow proc can crit

#

and is also a flat damage scaling effect and not dependent on your CD usage

steep obsidian
#

if sin is gonna be single target niche it should actaully be the best single target spec then lol

grizzled jay
#

so if you use Finality, you'll rotate 1cp into 5cp and the 1cp will still trigger a big 2nd shadow hit

balmy condor
#

@loud brook depends on build, but you can replace CT as your main finisher at 7

grizzled jay
#

it's a nice combo

loud brook
#

I see

balmy condor
#

replacing rupture is a little bit confusing

#

since rupture is your energy

#

so if you need the energy, you need the energy

#

and you should be maintaining that anyway

loud brook
#

im running triple ss with BI and my sims are telling me to go ct for st, so trying to figure out how to juggle the priorities

balmy condor
#

you replace an envenom

#

maintain rupture first, then CT, dump the rest on envenom

loud brook
#

i see, with my build would i ever use fan of knives?

balmy condor
#

in m+ on 3

#

in m+ you would also just want to maintain CT on 3+

#

idk what situation we're in

loud brook
#

no problem, thanks for the general information. im usually clueless when switching around builds and sticking to them for the first few days

#

the aoe question would be in m+ packs like the first three that tanks pull all together

balmy condor
#

aoe opener, then CT at 7+

loud brook
#

gotcha

#

forgot to say freehold

#

stupid vision run distracted me

#

am big dum

#

but yeah thanks whispyr ❤️

uncut schooner
#

Hm

#

New conduwits @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

yuh]

#

all boring damage increases kekw

grizzled jay
#

Sub has the interesting ones

#

just as Blizzard intends. the boring spec gets boring conduits

#

the fun spec gets fun conduits

#

the rng spec gets rng conduits

lethal coral
#

is it possible to roll on the Type II Bomber Jacket? or is it just flat out best to wait a few weeks to buy

hidden bay
#

if u cant clear mythic, sim heroic carapace against bomber jacket suspicious

#

otherwise u roll with mythic carapace

#

in terms of raid kappa

balmy condor
#

bomber jacket is better than heroic cara most of the time

#

if you specifically want bomber, you should buy it

#

but you're also running out of time

#

we can't make that decision for you :)

lethal coral
#

im not asking whats better, lol. but ty. im asking if its better to gamble vs buy, im guessing buy tho by the answers

balmy condor
#

well it is possible to gamble it

lethal coral
#

it is?

#

ooo

balmy condor
#

well yeah

#

you can gamble all of them

#

that's the whole point

spice spire
#

If you specifically need a piece, buying is better. If you’re looking for a random upgrade gamble

lethal coral
#

yeah i get that, raidbots says its better to buy, then gamble, idk why tf raidbots would tell me that for that specific chest piece, lol

#

like, is my chances lower

#

hmm

balmy condor
#

because its like 1/9

#

or something

wary kelp
#

as someone thats gambled and missed on the 3 viable shoulders for the past 9 rolls

#

buying is better if ur unlucky

lethal coral
#

^ fr haha ya

red plaza
#

can't wait for no more RNG chests/azerite in SL

lethal coral
#

ive baught everypiece ive needed this entire expansion, never thought of gambling

#

its told me to gamble pieces before even tho i have 1/9 chances. but then for this specific piece it says buy over gamble

#

so im not sure if its excluded from the gamble

balmy condor
#

yeah idk how raidbots does it tbh

#

I just always do the math myself cause its super easy

red plaza
#

well if more pieces are an upgrade like 3 or 4 out of 9 then yeah itll tell you to gamble

balmy condor
#

it tells me what the upgrades are

red plaza
#

but if only 1 piece is an upgrade, 1/9

balmy condor
#

and then I choose what I do

#

the robot isn't the boss of me

#

I'll fight back

red plaza
#

^^

lethal coral
#

haha

#

ye

royal lantern
#

wait

#

just thought about it

#

@balmy condor garrote increases mut dmg+higher dmg on poison apply procs

#

WotlK mut rogue comeback pog ?

balmy condor
#

we mut bois

grizzled jay
#

i kinda like the mut bleed leggo

#

with bloodfang if it works

#

and bone spike

#

big enven dam

strange python
#

how will asssassi rogue be in SL?

uncut schooner
#

@balmy condor Best spec right

sterile valve
#

Sins get ambush now?

grizzled jay
#

yes

#

and Blindside procs Ambush

balmy condor
#

we all get ambush :D

grizzled jay
#

"we" 🤔

sterile valve
#

Damn slice and dice,shiv, ambush, slaughter

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

me myself and I

#

obviously

sterile valve
#

Any notes for rogue changes?

balmy condor
#

!sl

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

there's some general ones

#

the more specific ones for conduits and stuff are

  1. Legion legendaries are back, probably some interaction with conduits that is good, but all pretty boring stuff we've seen before
  2. Outlaw bandit guile is now combat rogue pog we're going back
  3. sub is fun, gets fun conduits, big burst, but its sub
#

nothing really interesting tbh

sterile valve
#

Might be time to switch from sin to outlaw then?

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

about an expansion and a half ago for m+, yeah

sterile valve
#

what about PVP

balmy condor
#

who knows man

#

sin rot is pretty good but sub stun chain is also good

#

and no one knows until it actually happens

sterile valve
#

Toxic blade gone rip

balmy condor
#

?

#

toxic blade is shiv

winged basin
#

outside of my high ass corruption that I have been slacking on WE LOOKIN GOOD BOYS

balmy condor
winged basin
#

havent stepped foot into EP in so long.. been dreading it 😐

unkempt marsh
#

@winged basin do you use CLF with exp build?

balmy condor
#

he does now

#

after I had to convince him

unkempt marsh
#

but why would you go CLF over Bote?

vital haven
#

shrouded suffocation should be baked into subterfuge

#

imma a genius

#

hire me blizz

balmy condor

because CLF better damage depending on fight length

winged basin
#

I use BoTe on most of my bosses in prog, just some clf way outpreforms

#

honestly just base my essences on what people run on warcraft logs

unkempt marsh
#

yes exactly i dont see anyone using CLF

#

thats why im asking

balmy condor
#

I mean you do though

winged basin
#

I see most of the parses on maut clf?

balmy condor
#

people prefer bote a lot of the time

crimson palm
#

have u checked the kill times on those that run clf on maut

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor Should I use BotD on N'Zoth prog monkahmm

#

wondering if it'll help get through psychus 1

vital haven
#

35% of the top 100 logs use clf

balmy condor
#

^

vital haven
#

some are starting to uuse void major and just a clf

balmy condor
#

its kill time dependant

vital haven
#

copy a clf

grizzled jay
#

im using WV rn

balmy condor
#

but it sims higher

grizzled jay
#

it sims higher

winged basin
#

oh true ig, idk, im not gonna pretend I know what I am talking about, cause I dont, I just follow what Whispyr and warcraftlogs tells me

balmy condor
#

stronger single taget

grizzled jay
#

but also im crit/tendies

balmy condor
#

don't follow what I say

vital haven

its not really time dependant for ST

Hey guys how long once PTR is Announced before 9.0 happens usually

crimson palm
#

<2 mins when the single vendetta matters clf's gonna outpeform

vital haven
#

like clf sims higher even on shorter fights

grizzled jay
#

1-1.5 months

vital haven
#

at least for me it does

crimson palm
#

2:30-3:00 bote is higher by 1.2k

#

assuming bis gear

balmy condor
#

yep

#

2 casts of bote > 1 cast CLF

unkempt marsh
#

the only fight i see clf outperforming bote is maut

crimson palm
#

and fv major is better because of the minor

#

since you get to run bote minor instead of the clf one

#

assuming single clf cast

balmy condor
#

listen to hemo

#

he's a better rogue than I'll ever dream of being

hemo sucks

Running 2x Clockwork beats my Gorak Tul's by a decent margin. Is it a bait or is it actually good? Only been using one so far, can't get Carapace chest.

balmy condor

its good

#

2x clock is Pog imo

#

its obviously not bis cause cara chest exists

#

but its a solid combo

limber lion
#

Yeah, I'm stuck on progressing N'Zoth and I doubt we're reclearing ever again once N'zoth falls, so might as well go for the 2nd Clockwork if nothing elsr

clockwork on nzoth kekw

Is Clockwork dog on Nzoth?

Also Masterful on the OH?

grizzled jay

imagine getting weapon upgrades in 2020 lol

balmy condor

I'm doing a quick gem/chant sim

but yeah masterful oh

ruby ibex
#

Is that a new thing, or just a personal to me thing?

balmy condor
#

personal to you

#

deadly/masterful nav are usually pretty close

#

you don't have to re-chant if you don't want to

#

within margin of error according to that sim

ruby ibex
#

Oic, ok

#

Oh, the 475 weapon is also within that margin, so I could swap and put a socket on it later

balmy condor
#

yep

#

that would be the play

grizzled jay
#

tendies stack with vers right?

balmy condor
#

yeah

grizzled jay
#

vers nav for tendy build, should sim that

balmy condor
#

well tendy build would go crit/vers nav I think

ruby ibex
#

If I went up to 40 corruption (and got the cloak upgrade to drop it back down to 37, just haven't done that yet this week) would that drastically alter anything, or is it safe to just take the bracers Ex2 and knock it up to Ex3?

grizzled jay
#

prob so

#

im simming all enchants anyways, see what's best

balmy condor
#

I would keep the exped2 for the end game build

grizzled jay
#

if they don't make gale-force unusable above level 51, it'll be dumb meta for sub can't wait

balmy condor
#

exped2 to exped3 isn't a huge jump

dire spoke

don't go to exp3 it's a trap

What's the workings behind that?

dire spoke

you press less envenom with CT

zinc echo

oh right

I'm just dumb

balmy condor

CT uses combo points that would be used for envenom
TTK makes envenom better
Envenom procs PB

ok. took your advice and now i have 2 exp. 3 and 2 exp. 2. also a random twilight dev from this week but whatever, i lvl 469. still like sitting 40k. genuinely hurting my brain

grizzled jay
#

your base haste is not high enough

strange python
#

idk maybe i cant understand why putting up haste would throw dps so much higher. like i have a rogue in my guild who hits 80k at 472 and his haste is around 20

#

Maybe he is running the crit build

vast forum
#

wow 80k so stronk

balmy condor
#

yoppa toxic

#

:(

vast forum
#

thing is, expedient isn't just haste from gear

#

you get haste from 2-3 minor essences

#

you get haste from 1-2 trinkets

#

and 1-2 tier 3 traits (depending on gear you're wearing)

#

so the same rank of expedient gives you, on average, over 2x the number of haste points that a severe gives you crit points

strange python
#

well im using wrath trinket and i want vita but got void so...bummer

grizzled jay
#

bote minor, unstable flames, dice/spyglass 🤔

vast forum
#

and crit has MUCH steeper diminishing returns

grizzled jay
#

coral 🙂

vast forum
#

i mean, i'm not saying severe is bad, but at the highest gear that you're recommended to use

#

you don't wear dice/spyglass

#

you don't use any unstable flames

#

and bote minor gives more haste than crit

grizzled jay
#

yah im not saying sev is better than exp just that there's still decent stuff that gives crit

vast forum
#

well

#

if you wanna use the suboptimal gear and suboptimal corruption, they might go well together 😄

strange python
#

idk 40k sitting...doesnt feel like i earned my AOTC. fat carry

vast forum
#

but they're still both suboptimal

grizzled jay

tendies can still parse better anyways so is it really suboptimal kappa

dire spoke
rigid eagle

like how many ST 2 and how many ST 3

dire spoke
#

doesn't the pinned googlesheet guide mention that in the crit build section? not sure

grizzled jay
#

pretty sure its 60:40 for sev/strk

#

but also you can just sim it

#

use top gear and set your max resistance to 100 and say you have 12 sev3s and 12 strk3s

#

and it'll poop out the best combination

rigid eagle

o bigbrain

i thought we didn't rly need a lot of severes though?

are there any scenarios in mythic nyalotha where minor BotE becomes a thing for expedient rogue

or are breath/focusing iris/formless void too strong

balmy condor

CLF major takes bote minor always

dull crypt

over which one generally? gonna sim now but curious

balmy condor
#

over formless

#

usually

dull crypt
#

alright, currently running bote major for quicker burst sequences but is good to know

drifting cloud
#

formless major also takes bote minor

balmy condor
#

ye

#

formless major is basically just CLF major setup

#

except you're yoinking CLF

#

instead of running it

drifting cloud
#

you yoink blood and then clf

#

double clf wont work because it has like 5min cd kekchamp

balmy condor

well yeah

drifting cloud

super niche anyways, what spec even runs bote major to steal thats not assa

#

fury warr?

currently progressing ilgynoth and feel that bote sets up nicely once per ilgynoth phase

anyone on the PTR atm? I keep getting error

Just curious if it's down and wait or an issue i should fix

storm forum

hey, i finally got the mechagon ring set, but i have both division (from behind) and recursion (3 diff abilities), I'm currently proging on nzoth and was wondering what uptime on the division one I could be seeing.

I know he has a back (where shadow step would drop me off), but a friend of mine just told me anywhere would count for behind nzoth? can anyone confirm that? I was also told that some ability was bugged for the recursion loop, is that also true?

balmy condor
#

bleeds trigger division

#

should be close to 100%

#

@near coyote ptr isn't very stable at

storm forum
#

thanks

drifting cloud
#

I know its such a minor thing but do we know if its actually bleeds that trigger it

#

or is it just like he said basically everything on nzoth counts as behind

balmy condor
#

bleeds proc is

#

t

drifting cloud
#

because I remember on fish in EP

balmy condor
#

it works on other bosses too

drifting cloud
#

I actually had to move to the side to proc it

#

but then for example on radiance it would just refresh everytime even when my side was tanking boss

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

ring procs during wrathion fly away

drifting cloud
#

yeah could have just been changed

#

but im 100% they didnt proc on behemoth in ep from bleeds

because that tier I actually had a wa that tracked the proc 😂

why crit gems? 😮

balmy condor

cause it simmed higher probably

strange python

sims better for me

carmine latch
#

so is there a cap for haste?

balmy condor
#

no

#

its just sometimes stats are better than other stats

#

and so you gem for it

#

its very minimal tho

grizzled jay
#

when did 3m become the meme

balmy condor
#

3 min isn't a meme?

carmine latch
#

how much haste % ya'll got with food buff?

balmy condor
#

depends on who "y'all" is

grizzled jay
#

at least 10

balmy condor
#

full mythic, anywhere from like 70-80%

strange python
#

Without food buff I got 68%

balmy condor
#

60+ is usually a good thing to aim for for heroic+some mythic and a couple sockets imo

strange python
#

But I don’t have mythic gear and only 473 ilvl

balmy condor

pog then

I think once you get past 60 you're well on your way

when you start scratching into 70% you're looking good

CLF major is good for boss dps

you can use it on first burn phase, then 2nd burn phase and after secret phase

FV minor only sims 0.5% worse than iris minor, wonder if i should just take it for the ally haste benefit

sly rampart

My dps is super low even though i have decent gear and know the rotations. I think it's my stats, but I keep reading and seeing conflicting information on what to bump up and would love some feedback so I don't suck as much. Crit = 27%, Haste = 23%, Mastery = 34%, Versa = 8% - also have a piece that gives me leech @ 5%

balmy condor
#

where are your stats my dude

lone junco
#

23 haste Is pretty low. Post your raidbots sim.

grizzled jay

Comparatively I have 51% crit, 15% haste, 42% mastery, and 6% vers 🙂

also there's a guy in the sub channel with 70% out of combat crit lol

grizzled jay

@balmy condor u hate us cuz u aint us

you go insane and kill boss before secret phase

rancid bobcat
#

am i wrong in that if my gearset is split about evenly between all the stat gems that i can swap from haste food to something else if i have expedient
because -93 haste +93 mastery in food can be made up with +100 haste -100 mastery in gems

#

cause fuck buying haste food

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

makes sense to me

rancid bobcat
#

cause thats what i have been doing

#

but for whatever reason i had a mini aneurysm and thought i was wrong for a minute

balmy condor
#

yeah no that's a-ok

rancid bobcat
#

i made some haste food though

fallow otter

you go insane and kill boss before secret phase
@arctic walrus I wish this was true

how the fuck to parse on vex

fallow otter

But it ain't

I've noticed a few things from the log though

In reality parsing gonna be hard because we have buyers

@runic kiln shorter fight, more pump 4Head

arctic walrus
#

10:43 kill

not the case btw

rancid bobcat
#

send my guild some buyers

#

you can parse

arctic walrus

rancid bobcat
runic kiln

is it just like not possible to get a decent parse on vex unless your kill time is under 3 min wtf

drifting cloud
#

it definetly is

#

I have a 122k log without 1phase

#

with standard setup

rancid bobcat
#

i mean define "decent"

#

you dont need to do anything except perform well to get like a 95

#

no special raid cheese or w/e

cause for every big parse with short kills, there are still 100s of other kills by regular guilds filling the rest of the rankings

balmy condor

yeah 90-95 is ez just play good

Also wound poison is a 5% healing reduction but it’ll stack up to 5 times

grizzled jay

isn't R2 already a part of Sin's toolkit

balmy condor
#

r1 is part of toolkit

#

r2 is new

strange python
#

Wait what?

#

Not in bfa

balmy condor
#

poisons are 20% less application chance for sub/outlaw

#

so 20%+ is just what it is on live

#

I'm pretty sure

strange python
#

Aw come on

#

I was looking forward to having a 70% application chance

balmy condor
#

yeah no

strange python
#

I don’t give a shit about rank 2

#

I open with garrote so...

grizzled jay
#

r2 makes fok auto apply aoe poison

fleet whale
#

if you keep up envenom

#

it's like 80% anyway

balmy condor
#

its good if you open with garrote too

#

how many times have you multi-dotted 3 garrotes on pull

#

and then turned around

strange python
#

Idk

balmy condor
#

and haven't had poison on a target

fleet whale
#

rank 2 is a nice qol change

strange python
#

I guess so

#

Also wound poison is looking really good

fleet whale
#

but as much as i hated the talent

balmy condor
#

5% stacking up to 5 times

fleet whale
#

i wished rank 2 was around with agonizing poison lol

grizzled jay
#

the Subt opener in ST is so smooth. Garrote Ambush Ambush Rupture

strange python
#

Gonna fuck over some death knights

balmy condor
#

isn't that just a nerf

strange python
#

Not if you use master poisoner

fleet whale
#

yeah.. but after that opener you are out of energy

grizzled jay
#

are you runner Deeper

strange python
#

29% live, 32% theoretically

grizzled jay
#

In that time you'll get 2 Wounds procs for 14 Energy + natural energy regen

strange python
#

I run vigor

grizzled jay
#

nah talkin to Varo

strange python
#

Oh

grizzled jay
fleet whale
#

it's more about how sluggish things will be after that opner

grizzled jay
#

it doesn't feel sluggish to me

fleet whale
#

i suppose ambush procs will help though

grizzled jay
#

once you get Alacrity + Blindside procs

#

you are fine

balmy condor
#

isn't wound poison 25% on live atm

grizzled jay
#

yes

#

that's why Slaughter is a meme

balmy condor
#

so then its a nerf

grizzled jay
#

15% heal steal kekchamp

balmy condor
strange python
#

Yeah but if you use master poisoner it may as well have 6 stacks

balmy condor
#

yeah but its the same amount as it is right now

#

but its stacks

fleet whale
#

i miss the pvp talent that made deadly poison apply mortal wounds

balmy condor
#

that's just strictly worse

strange python
#

2% more

balmy condor
strange python
#

Because blizzard can’t math

fleet whale
#

i honestly don't really see this being that significant

strange python
#

5 + 20% = 6

#

Oh

balmy condor
#

uh huh.....

strange python
#

I’m a dumbass

balmy condor
#

and then what

strange python
#

I counted it wrong

balmy condor
#

5*5 *1.2 is in fact equal to 25 *1.2

grizzled jay
#

its actually a buff because one dispel doesn't remove the whole thing

#

only one stack

strange python
#

Wait what?

balmy condor
#

is that tested?

#

I kinda doubt that

grizzled jay
#

well i mean that's how most stack effects work, no i didn't test it

strange python
#

Well still

#

Also we’ll get a poison that reduces attack speed which will be fun

balmy condor
#

in form of what

grizzled jay
#

Numbing is gonna get nerfed d/w

balmy condor
#

oh numbing is back?

fleet whale
#

yeah,

balmy condor
#

interesting

fleet whale
#

and unless if they changed it you can have numbing and crippling on at the same time

grizzled jay

grizzled jay
#

they've fixed like 2 things for Rogue

#

Nooo I don’t want it to get nerfed

#

It looks so awesome

low girder
#

i mean if you legitimately think that's going live

#

idk what to tell you

fleet whale
#

idk, people thought iron wire was gonna be some broken shit in the bfa beta

#

but it wasn't anything that amazing, still a decent talent

grizzled jay
#

15% AS slow is magnitudes stronger than a long silence on one caster

low girder
#

it's not a talent though

#

you're not losing anything

fleet whale
#

well it wasn't just the silence for iron wire

strange python
#

How though tmb?

grizzled jay
#

every tank's #1 damage taken source form M+ is melee

#

take that number and reduce it by 15%

#

that's how much DR Numbing would provide

#

that is absurd

#

it invalidates affixes like Raging and Necrotic

#

Think of the time it takes a tank to get to 30 Necrotic stacks then have to kite. It now takes 15% longer.

And it would be easier for them to kite with the slowing poison
