Better azerite, mecha rings, sockets, haste enchants (unless sims said to go mastery)

#

bote r3, like you said or CLF

#

if you're going bleed haste build

void pecan
#

How do you copy someones simc from their link senpai?

balmy condor
#

if its a top gear, you hit sim again

#

in a quick sim or other stuff you can scroll down

#

this stuff should have it

#

and then you need to chop out some of the garbage raidbots adds

#

and gg

void pecan
#

Huh. Nice ty

balmy condor
#

np homie

dire basalt
#

is it still viable to run the double dose build untill i have gear for the new bleed build?

balmy condor
#

yeah

dire basalt
#

great, cuz it looks like u need alot of stuff before the bleed build gets better

shut garnet
#

apparently dd crit build at the high end isnt even that far behind exang haste

arctic walrus
#

it do be like that

shut garnet
#

which surprises me

dire basalt
#

thats great then!

arctic walrus
#

yeah but it's also strictly single target

dire basalt
#

how far behind?

shut garnet
#

true

dire basalt
#

yupp

#

that sux

#

srsky

#

srsly*

shut garnet
#

high end meaning youd need to get like

#

specific statted pieces of gear, socket them and get the specific corruption for em

#

if ur gonna go thru that trouble u might as well go with the all round best that also is the best on pure st

dire basalt
#

yah

shut garnet
#

(which is the ss exang haste one)

dire basalt
#

im not sure when the bleed build is viable to start playing with

balmy condor
#

when it sims higher

shut garnet
#

whispyr got the % of haste exang and ct pull higher

#

probably LULW

balmy condor
#

it super depends

#

I've found usually 30% for exsang and 60% for CT

#

so those are the numbers I spit out

arctic walrus
#

you link anything relevant to stat breakpoints and you're getting lobbed

balmy condor
#

but some people don't see exsang until like 50%, and others see exsang at like 20%

#

yeah

#

I try and add big disclaimers

shut garnet
#

any statweight simmers in the chat

balmy condor
#

oh god

#

flashbacks to me and yoppa discussing the merits of stat weights

shut garnet
runic kiln
#

azerokks good for anything other than the meme mastery sub spec?

shut garnet
#

nope

#

its bad

balmy condor
#

garbo trinket

uncut schooner
stable radish
#

ah cool cool cool, got which side of the week mother would have expedient 3 the wrong way around

shut garnet
#

so you missed it?

stable radish
#

yes.. yes I did. feelsgud

shut garnet
stable radish
#

but it's OK, I can just wait until...

#

sep 8

uncut schooner
#

inb4 prepatch late september

#

"enjoy 2 weeks of that exped 3"

stable radish
#

haha ye, it'd be on theme with this expansion for me

#

I could angrily stock up on rank 2 I guess

balmy condor
#

rukt no

#

don't do it

strange python
#

glimpse > exp 2

lost wharf
#

That sweet full exp r3

strange python
#

hey all question for good assassinations, what are we dumping max combo points into for fast big damage once all dots are applied? what am I spamming as much as possible?

balmy condor
#

envenom is our main dump

late escarp
#

I've seen conflicting messages on whether rogues are getting nerfed in SL. Looking at the changes it looks like everything is pretty freakin rosey. Is there some reason peoplea re saying nerf?

balmy condor
#

nerf/buff is all here-say

#

balance doesn't exist atm

#

people for sin are mostly miffed because alacrity is a boring talent and slice and dice is a meaningless addition

late escarp
#

but one of the biggest things around looks like the conduit that ties reuperate to SND

balmy condor
#

that's just passive healing

#

we don't really care about that too much

late escarp
#

shiiit id kill for it on my feral XD

strange python
#

alright guys, aoe feels weak a bit as assassination, how do we maximize this? I have been coming from a strong aoe background. is it the aoe talent and drain bleeds faster good?

balmy condor
#

right now or on beta?

strange python
#

now not beta

balmy condor
#

the current way we aoe is subtfuge/SS garrotes from stealth and it depends on build

#

crit builds can use EB, which becomes very powerful with a couple severe/strikes, that's the preferred m+ spec for sin

#

haste builds can spread ruptures and CT

strange python
#

thank you

dire spoke
#

man

#

exp2, hm3, neck95 all next ID

#

will feel so gud

dark crag
#

Got that since a few weeks and i just played assa 2 weeks

uncut cape
#

I hope Assa will be best Rougespec in SL

arctic walrus
strange python
#

I’ve been looking through the king slayer traits and how come some of them weren’t carried into bfa? They look cool

balmy condor
#

cause blizzard didn't add them

strange python
#

That’s a shame

#

They look really cool

#

Blood of the assassinated, poisoned knives, dense concoction

balmy condor
#

blood of the assassinated was super janky

#

no one wants that back

strange python
#

Eh, I can understand that

#

Apparently we had an ability called agonizing poison?

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that was fucking terrible too

#

it was a talent that replaced deadly poison

strange python
#

Oh it was a talent

#

Why though?

balmy condor
#

and instead of doing damage, multiplied all our damage on the target by a %, stacking 5 times

#

and it scaled with mastery

strange python
#

Yeah and apparently some of the artifact traits buffed it

balmy condor
#

and it was the worst fucking thing

#

sin rogue already had ramp time

#

and it made it even worse

strange python
#

Oof

balmy condor
#

it was busted op

#

cause it was just an 80% damage buff to targets or something stupid

strange python
#

Holy shit

balmy condor
#

but it's awful design

stark wyvern
#

I know its beta, but how is assassination going into shadowlands? Might actually start out with a rogue this time.

balmy condor
#

and it's really really REALLY bad

strange python
#

Yeah it could’ve been made more fun

balmy condor
#

assassination is looking fine

#

slice and dice is boring

#

but if you liked bfa sin, its the same thing

strange python
#

Not looking forward to SnD

low girder
#

it punished target swapping extremely hard and everyone hated it lol

#

so they removed it in like 7.1

stark wyvern
#

Is Sub going back to pre Zul?

balmy condor
#

it was added in nighthold

strange python
#

7.2.5 actually

balmy condor
#

and removed in nighthold

low girder
#

i killed helya with it

#

so it was earlier than that

balmy condor
#

really

#

interesting

#

I don't have memories back that far because my brain hurts

#

@stark wyvern no its not, because that passive creates a lot of fucking problems

strange python
#

7.0.3 - 7.2.5

balmy condor
#

but its the same thing

#

its current sub with some find weakness changes and an aoe finisher

strange python
#

And then they axed it and replaced it with toxic blade

#

Which is being removed too

low girder
#

wouldn't call it removed exactly

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

its going baseline

#

that's the opposite of removed

strange python
#

Well they’re baking into a pvp talent and making it baseline

#

Shiv

#

I guess now I’ll actually have a reason to use shiv?

balmy condor
#

considering its part of our main rotation

#

:P

low girder
#

in pve it's basically the same

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

its basically just toxic blade with a different name

low girder
#

just with the old enrage dispel tied to it

balmy condor
#

the enrage is super niche from what I've seen

strange python
#

They’re giving shiv an enrage dispel?

balmy condor
#

just raging weeks

low girder
#

if you have the poison

#

yeah

#

it was fairly niche in wod too

strange python
#

Woohoo

balmy condor
#

that's what old shiv did

low girder
#

but sometimes it was nice

strange python
#

I’ll take that

balmy condor
#

shiv is toxic blade + enrage dispell

#

and it'll be useful on raging

low girder
#

UBRS boss is the only one i remember

balmy condor
#

and otherwise its just toxic blade

low girder
#

and hellfire council

strange python
#

Fury warrior is getting fucked

grizzled orbit
#

Yeah, more utility. ionAddons

balmy condor
#

they get spell reflect baseline

strange python
#

No I mean

#

Mind numbing poison AND we can dispel their enrage?

#

We are unstoppable

balmy condor
#

idk if fury warrior enrage is an enrage

strange python
#

It is I think

grizzled orbit
#

Considering they are pretty much enraged constantly, they won’t be out of enrage for long

balmy condor
#

yeah that too

strange python
#

Bruh

#

Just keep shivving them

balmy condor
#

yeah

low girder
#

it was a cooldown

balmy condor
#

every 25 seconds

#

lmao

low girder
#

has*

strange python
#

What’s toxic blade?

grizzled orbit
#

Right. Lol. You can’t spam it. Lmao

balmy condor
#

25 seconds

strange python
#

Oh

#

Could’ve sworn it was longer for some reason

balmy condor
#

that would make your point even worse

strange python
#

It feels like ages

#

I meant toxic blade

#

Is venom rush going to be bad still?

balmy condor
#

yes

strange python
#

Jesus Christ

balmy condor
#

alacrity is taken in pve in every situation

strange python
#

shrugs I can’t say no to free haste

grizzled orbit
#

You can

#

When there’s to much

strange python
#

But haste is my favorite stat

#

It makes you attack so fast

shut garnet
#

im sure there’ll be WAAAY too much haste in the first tier of a new expac

strange python
#

Why?

shut garnet
#

so much you wint even wanna have alacrity (/s btw)

#

you’re gonna probably want all the haste u can get

strange python
#

Yeah

#

whats stat prio for m+ ?

balmy condor
#

crit vers mast haste for a crit build

#

haste mast/crit vers for haste build

#

still crit vers

#

you know better tisu u god damn snack

arctic walrus
balmy condor
vital haven
#

which one is better in m+ though

#

crit or haste build

balmy condor
#

depends on week and key but you need vers for higher keys and a haste build doesn't work with that so my personal opinion is outlaw

#

outlaw build is better m+ build

vital haven
#

ok im too tired to troll

balmy condor
#

:P

vital haven
balmy condor
#

I got the energy to handle it

#

who doesn't approve of love

arctic walrus
#

wish I could just put you in a room with autoattakk until he broke you

balmy condor
urban gale
dire spoke
#

don't you talk shit about agonizing poison @balmy condor

#

it was our main excuse to tunnel boss

balmy condor
#

true

low girder
#

yeah now that i think about it more i definitely bitched at my raid until i never had to hit adds on krosus

balmy condor
#

"sorry guys would love to help with aluriel adds, but can't, agonizing"

dire spoke
balmy condor
#

and then they all stacked on boss

#

fok ramped the poison

#

and you got a poison bomb proc

#

skyrocketed on meters lmao

dire spoke
#

still better than what we have now

urban gale
#

so in a standard opener, your first exsang happens with your first empowered garrote and rupture

#

do you use ur second exsang on cd?

balmy condor
#

and your third

urban gale
#

with just a regular rupture and garrote

balmy condor
#

yep

#

1 empowered exsang

#

2 unempowered exsangs

urban gale
#

then vanish/repeat

balmy condor
#

ye

urban gale
#

is there any way to practice on the dummy without vanish screwing up the meter

balmy condor
#

get a friend to hit it with you

urban gale
#

yeah makes sense

balmy condor
#

or just log it

urban gale
#

in general rotation terms, ignoring things like shrouded suffocation, is there any meaningful difference between allowing a dot to drop for half a second vs pandemicing it

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

you're missing a half second of ticks

#

and you're not full pandemicing for exsang

urban gale
#

ah

#

ok

rancid bobcat
#

full exp 3 and still 119k sadge

arctic walrus
#

because that's below 60

rancid bobcat
#

im a pussy

strange python
#

My raid lead will

#

say mean words

#

if i run above 60

rancid bobcat
#

also

#

i ran honed 3 a while back at varying exp levels and

#

only at corruption cap levels was it better than pure exp 3

#

so

#

idk what else you'd use

#

except for jumping straight into hm3 setup

strange python
#

last I simmed at 7 exp 3
Hm 3 is better than another exp 3

#

for me

vast forum
#

but that's 15 extra corruption

strange python
#

Best way to push this too 100k?

balmy condor
#

mecha rings

strange python
#

k

#

wait wtf

#

why did that sim

#

with toxic blade

balmy condor
strange python
#

Resimming

#

I dont feel like waiting 3 weeks to buy another exp for my mecha ring

balmy condor
#

we'll compare sims :)

strange python
#

Progging on nzoth with an inting sim 😭

balmy condor
#

oof

strange python
#

mecha rings and belt corruption

balmy condor
#

unlucky

strange python
#

wait wtf

#

hacking

balmy condor
#

better luck next time

strange python
#

wait really?

#

Stygian over gibber?

balmy condor
#

according to that, ye

strange python
#

hmmm

balmy condor
#

also irontide with dagger in the back over gibber

#

I'll use the irontide

strange python
#

k

#

I need to re corrupt my belt

#

I got that out of a weekly

#

and it was better than my old

grizzled jay
balmy condor
#

do you have any corruptions on you

strange python
#

Nope

#

😭

balmy condor
#

unlucky

grizzled jay
#

It's okay, on Friday I will cleanse my Tendy 3 and equip 3 Strk3s

strange python
#

ok

#

well

#

you're hacking

strange python
#

and I dont support that

balmy condor
#

mecharings with exp3

strange python
#

WTF\

balmy condor
#

get you 40 away

strange python
#

ok dood

balmy condor
#

so that + a random socket should do it

strange python
#

and without exp 3?

#

just defualt?

balmy condor
#

probably not worth

grizzled jay
#

tbh my dps is from lack of sockets

balmy condor
#

cause you're losing 40 corruption worth of stuff

strange python
#

true

grizzled jay
#

i am so fucking lazy about sockets

#

fuck visions man

strange python
#

my HoD wouldn't proc

balmy condor
#

ye

#

and its also 40 corruption

#

worth of stuff

#

:P

strange python
#

so would

#

the haste ring

bold remnant
#

is 6500 haste to much haste? its 95%

strange python
#

itself sim higher

#

than one of my rings

#

with exp

balmy condor
#

does 95% haste sim higher?

strange python
balmy condor
#

I would assume the sims are screaming at you to equip some different gems

strange python
#

If I replaced this

balmy condor
#

or re-enchant

strange python
#

with the 444 haste

#

would that sim higher

#

would that be extra haste

balmy condor
#

well does it have exped3

strange python
#

over 233+12% haste

#

no

#

just default

balmy condor
#

then no

bold remnant
#

it never tells me to swap my gems for some reson even tho i have them selected idk why

balmy condor
#

because 233 + 12% is in fact not how that works

strange python
#

I did a gear compare sim and got 130k by putting rank 7 tendie on

#

lmaoo

balmy condor
#

well yeah

strange python
#

Well yea

#

is 6500 haste to much haste? its 95%
@bold remnant

#

Too much haste

balmy condor
#

not necessarily

strange python
#

Doesnt exist

strange python
#

what in the fuck

balmy condor
#

very easy

#

just equip 330 corruption worth of IS

strange python
#

lmaooooo

balmy condor
#

you can super easily just fuck gear compare

#

really anything

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor Why does SimC not have a 100% uptime on Garrote/Rupture on a Patchwerk fight

strange python
#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

its close

#

but I don't think it'll always 100% uptime

strange python
#

I got my dh sim to 200k by putting 330 worth of IS

grizzled jay
#

in a Patchwerk fight where nothing happens and no mechanics, why would you let it fall off?

balmy condor
#

you're already at less than 100% on rupture because you're not casting it on your first global

balmy condor
#

and there's probably gcd's your missing with empowered bleeds dropping

silent crescent
#

^

strange python
#

So this sim you ran goes off of vendetta.

#

Do you think it would be better to run 3 SS for fights like M nzoth

#

Because dotting at least 3 synapses I feel would be ebtter

#

than like 60k extra damage on vendetta

balmy condor
#

ye

#

that's why I would run the irontide

strange python
#

Wait

#

Dude im offing myself

#

I didnt even realise

#

it had ss

balmy condor
#

900 iq plays

#

without the zeros

strange python
#

lmao

grizzled jay
#

@balmy condor Wanna see my ugly Azerite

balmy condor
#

no thanks

strange python
#

no longer at 70% haste

#

😭

grizzled jay
balmy condor
#

BiS shoulders

#

so ugly

grizzled jay
#

not bis for crit build :^)

balmy condor
#

its also SS/EB

strange python
#

I thought gorak was BiS 0.o

balmy condor
#

clock usually beats gorak on shorter sims

grizzled jay
#

I want a Gorak's yes

#

but ive rolled the same 3 shoulders every gamble

#

also rolled Gore chest twice in a row

burnt star
#

Those assa on beta has legendary and all 4 convenant now?

balmy condor
#

I mean, we're still missing a couple conduits

#

but ye

#

we've had our covenants for a while

#

legendaries got added last week

#

or 2 weeks?

#

idk time is difficult

burnt star
#

Wasnt night fae missing

balmy condor
#

night fae is the sepsis shit

grizzled jay
#

no legendaries were testable during this week's raid testing

#

right

#

or was there a vendor that gave them out

#

in the raid

balmy condor
#

nope, had to grind them I'm pretty sure

sterile talon
#

No vendor

grizzled jay
#

yah then they weren't in

#

Runecarver wasn't working til like 1 day before raid testing

burnt star
#

Trying to see how rogue feels in shadowlands but last info i read. There were lot missing.. but that was a month ago

sterile talon
#

Also what conduits are we missing ? All 3 specs got 4 potency conduits each datamined

grizzled jay
#

datamine does not mean they are in the beta

#

just means Blizzard has the data clientside

sterile talon
#

Thats not what i interpreted as

vital haven
#

We are still missing 2 talents

#

Iirc

sterile talon
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

ye one on sub one on outlaw

vital haven
#

Prob some tuning

#

Last i heard shadow vault was like useless

strange python
#

Glad insig or Plumage

burnt star
#

Thats a bit sad seeing how the game might launch i 2 month

vital haven
#

They are the same

balmy condor
#

well shadow vault is useless because its bugged and isn't affected by mastery

#

yeah that's the same trinket lmao

#

they're both on use vers and the same amount of stats

strange python
#

I thought insig was on primary stat

#

and leaf was straight vers

balmy condor
#

the primary stat one is awful

strange python
balmy condor
#

don't use that

vital haven
#

You are thinkinh about the badge trinket

strange python
balmy condor
#

the only pvp trinket we use

strange python
balmy condor
#

is on use vers one

strange python
#

nah thats the badge

balmy condor
#

because the one use vers one is plumage

strange python
#

this is the insig

balmy condor
#

everything else is trash

strange python
#

k

#

now I gotta farm 15's on tyran week

balmy condor
#

farming 15's doesn't really matter affix wise

#

tbh

strange python
#

true

balmy condor
#

15's are enough of a stomp these days

strange python
#

Either I pug a 15 kr

#

or do a 20 kr

balmy condor
#

well a 20 KR this week is definitely painful

strange python
#

yea

#

gm didnt even want to tank it

#

and he is pushing 5k

balmy condor
#

no one does keys on tyran weeks

#

you just do your one weekly no leaver

#

which is usually a junk

strange python
#

got my rogue and dh done

balmy condor
#

and then you just farm 15's

#

or afk the week

strange python
#

tru

#

8 raden kills and 12 rerolls later no vita on my dh

#

I did get a slapper though

balmy condor
#

slapper is the bigger upgrade

strange python
#

Hoping to get a vita next week

#

will help my stars alot

balmy condor
#

still playing stars

grizzled jay
#

i dropped both my slappers and stopped living the Outlaw dream

#

back to Sin for N'Zoth proggers

strange python
#

what other dh build

#

for pure st

#

would you recommend

#

other than stars

balmy condor
#

well for pure ST

#

we would all go stars

strange python
#

exactly

#

I have td for aoe

balmy condor
#

but there's no ST fights

strange python
#

fights

#

shad

#

maut

balmy condor
#

are you progging shad or maut

#

maut is second boss man cmon

#

gtfo

strange python
#

lmao

#

Im not talking about end game

#

unless you think this dh

#

is nzoth ready

balmy condor
strange python
#

Progging that 470 ilvl

grizzled jay
#

470 is nzoth ready for BM

strange python
#

true

balmy condor
#

just go full vers tbh on dh these days

#

ain't worth the IS cheese

grizzled jay
#

All TD isn't bad either

balmy condor
#

yeah but its just as cheese

drifting cloud
#

well you can like 17 man nzoth so I guess all you need to be is 120

strange python
#

lemme just run 330 td on my dh and run a cleave sim.

#

Whispyr what is your sim.

balmy condor
#

900million dps

strange python
#

true

strange python
#

QUESTION what M+ dungeons have the best assassination dagger?

#

🙂

balmy condor
#

for a crit build or haste

#

also be aware that heroic cara and mythic wrathion drop better weapons for either build

#

so unless you pull something out of your box, unlikely you'll find better than that

strange python
#

^

#

You want the 390 dagger

#

highest sim\ you will get

weak oak
#

any tips on nzoth fight? for more dps

#

not sure what to pop cooldowns on

balmy condor
#

depends on difficulty tbh

weak oak
#

doing heroic rn

balmy condor
#

pop on nzoth after first psychus

weak oak
#

what about during first phase?

#

psychus

balmy condor
#

no point

#

everyone's already pumping

weak oak
#

i mean like am i ruputing the tentacles, back oh psy?

#

on*

balmy condor
#

if they live that long sure

#

you can just hit em with a 2-3 cp rupture

#

and snipe the energy back (assuming you don't have expedients and are already drowning in energy)

strange python
#

If you are going for parse

#

pop cd's on first phase

#

I made the mistake of not doing that

#

so I only have an 80% on nzoth rn

fallow otter
#

"Damage done to Synapses that heal to full or that do not die is excluded in the table below. Bonus damage to Psychus has been removed as well (i.e., all damage to Psychus counts as 100% with no bonus added)."

#

for if you want to parse

balmy condor
#

yeah, the only thing you get from popping cds on psychus is cd timing

jaunty relic
#

I just tried assassination on ptr

#

it feels

#

sluggish

#

does it improve with gear?

#

I feel like 90% of the time I'm stuck with low combos and low energy

balmy condor
#

that's usually how sin feels

#

the only reason we don't feel like that now is because expedients

#

alacrity and blindside make it feel really smooth actually imo

#

it'll of course get better with more and more haste

#

but you shouldn't compare the speed of sin atm to the speed of sin normally

#

this has been an incredibly weird patch

jaunty relic
#

about energy generation

#

do we get more energy with haste?

#

like do we generate haste with aa?

balmy condor
#

we have natural energy gen with haste

#

a majority of the energy gen will come from venomous wounds

#

which gives us energy when garrote/rupture ticks on poisoned enemies

#

and since haste speeds up the ticks + gives us natural energy regen

#

that's where the energy comes from

jaunty relic
#

ah okay then

#

I was worried we would feel sluggish forever

strange python
#

bro

#

outlaw on ptr all the way

jaunty relic
#

I don't like outlaw as much as sin

strange python
#

well

#

then gl in shadowlands

jaunty relic
#

I played sin in legion and I loved it

strange python
#

with the amount of shit they are getting

jaunty relic
#

I skipped bfa

balmy condor
#

Wdym gl in shadowlands

strange python
#

dude

balmy condor
#

Sub all the way dude

strange python
#

true

#

kek

balmy condor
#

Have you tried outlaw during raid testing

jaunty relic
#

sub is good too

strange python
#

no

#

I dont have beta

balmy condor
#

Well

#

Neither did anyone else

#

Cause it’s doooogggggshit

strange python
#

well

#

not for dungeons 🙂

jaunty relic
#

relax, we got 3 dps specs

balmy condor
#

Gouge when

strange python
#

I timed a 19 ML on the ptr with 6k overall DPS

jaunty relic
#

it's almost guaranteed that at least one will be viable

strange python
#

Haha

#

viable

#

Haha

#

Blizzard doing something right

#

Haha

balmy condor
#

Lmao

empty tide
#

hey, anyone tried messing out with ra-dens weapons on assa ?

balmy condor
#

Just sim for 8bil DPS

strange python
#

wtf did you just say scav monkaS

balmy condor
#

@empty tide not sure if you’re memeing or not

#

There’s been a couple troll logs on hive that made it look okay

empty tide
#

no meme actually, i tried for fun on a 19, the only skill you cant use its mutilate

balmy condor
#

But aside from that

#

Yikes

empty tide
#

with 3x EB 3x SS

strange python
#

...

#

...

empty tide
#

ngl, its legit

strange python
#

no...

balmy condor
#

Except it isn’t

strange python
#

Have you tried cara wep on sub?

#

ngl, its legit

empty tide
#

by legit i mean its playable

strange python
#

well

balmy condor
#

Sure it’s playable

strange python
#

not ideal

#

in the slightest

balmy condor
#

You could also equip a single 320 dagger from a vendor

strange python
#

if you have double slapper

#

just go outlaw

balmy condor
#

And that is playable

#

But it’s not good

empty tide
#

ye ye, thanks for the insight

strange python
#

Also

#

Are you gonna spam

#

garrote to make combo points

#

?

balmy condor
#

No

#

It’s 3x eb

strange python
#

ohhh

empty tide
#

^

balmy condor
#

He foks single target

strange python
#

yeah

#

didnt see that part

empty tide
#

and it was toldagor so, 2 "aoe" bosses

balmy condor
#

Actually does less damage than outlaw single target tho

strange python
#

^

#

I mean ill sim cleave rn

#

with 2 slappers

#

and show you that it is not viable

balmy condor
#

Tol dagor

strange python
#

even with eb x3

balmy condor
#

Might be decent for first pull

#

But I would run out after beach and equip daggers

#

Even then

#

Questionable

empty tide
#

i mean, im not saying its the go to super bis etc

balmy condor
#

I’m not sure if the corruption from lash is better than just running the equivalent in strikes

strange python
#

just go dh kekw

balmy condor
#

I think it’s a hard sell

#

The strikes pump pretty hard

empty tide
#

should be strikes for sure

#

expecially with 3x EB

strange python
#

You trying to become Jes Howlis?

empty tide
#

was mainly for fun after seeing a guy do it, but i thought it would end up much worse

oblique lark
#

too low)

How dare you

#

You think I’m sleeping at 2am

ryfie told me BoTE

#

so thats what i run 🙂

balmy condor

Well I guess we’re throwing hands then

balmy condor

What iLvL is that pvp trinket

plain tusk
#

balmy condor
#

I’m on mobile CryBoy

#

Oh yeah yucky

plain tusk
#

But it has a socket

#

That's probably the only reason why it works better than 465 dice

balmy condor
#

It’s possible

stark wyvern
#

Good morning 🙂

remote oriole
#

I dc'd last night but ty @balmy condor for simming my trash gear 🙂

wispy tinsel
#

Just curious if running 3x Double Dose do you use subterfuge or master assassin in the 2nd talent row

royal lantern
#

probs just sim it

wispy tinsel
#

yeah probably, just thought id ask

dusk moat
#

guiys what corruptions u play on tyranical

#

not going full severe

#

right?

balmy condor
#

If you have a raid/haste build

#

You’d run that

#

Playing a crit build is still fine though

#

You just get rid of one of the EB

grizzled jay
#

DD Crit Kreygasm

pale bluff
#

why does everyone getting expedient and on raider io everyone using severe / strikethrough

balmy condor
#

Because crit build is better in dungeons/aoe

#

And haste build is better single target

#

And most of this channel is a raid channel

#

Because outlaw is the meta m+ spec

#

And sin is not

pale bluff
#

oh

#

but what about tyrannical weeks ?

balmy condor
#

No one pushes on tyrannical weeks

#

So imo it’s not worth talking about

#

But sin is better on tyran

pale bluff
#

I have so much haste gear atm. That is why I change spec from outlaw to assasin

balmy condor
#

Well it’s mostly the corruption that matter

#

But having decent stats as a baseline is definitely useful

dusk moat
#

some kwys are worth 🙂

#

still need workshop and siege

#

i have full hastebuild im gonna try it thanks 🙂

balmy condor
#

Workshop and siege are both awful on tyran

#

You can play haste build on fortified in those

#

It’s a little worse in siege to be fair

dusk moat
#

so haste build over severe even if forti?

shut garnet
#

if you have access to severe strikethru with 3ss3eb then you take that for forti in most keys

dusk moat
#

yeah fortified weeks usaually np

shut garnet
#

haste build still pulls ahead im pretty sure in SoB, temple, junkyard most likely

#

kings rest

dusk moat
#

overall 100k+ almost in any dungeon

#

also got some problems with ad xD

#

maybe go haste build in there to?

shut garnet
#

wdym by problems?

balmy condor
#

You can swap out an EB on atal

#

That’s usually what you do with a crit build

dusk moat
#

i tried that but landing around80-85k overall

#

guess single target is to low

balmy condor
shut garnet
#

there's a lot of variables that could cause that

#

key level, what specs ur playing with, the way ur tank pulls

#

whether ur actually consistent on packs

#

e.g doing the same thing on the same pack every atal

dusk moat
#

u guys go posionbomb in there or hb?

balmy condor
#

Hb?

#

Don’t even say that again

shut garnet
dusk moat
#

hidden blades

shut garnet
#

yeah it's

#

really bad

#

dont ever take it

dusk moat
#

haha oki

balmy condor
#

Hidden blades is a SUPER bad talent

shut garnet
#

the only people ive legit seen take it is some hivemind parses

#

but even then its probably suboptimal

balmy condor
#

You either run CT, or PB

#

PB is less overall usually

dusk moat
#

alright thanks for some input im gonna fix this 🙂

#

yeah ct sux for some dungeons

#

i oprefer to use it tho

balmy condor
#

Very few tbh

dusk moat
#

sob righjt?

balmy condor
#

With a crit build I’d run PB in workshop, and maybe sob/atal depending on the aoe

#

Sob is mainly cause there’s so much squishy shit and spotter nukes

#

And last boss is super super scary

#

Atal is mostly for bosses and the birds die really quick

#

But I think it’s a hard sell for atal overall

#

I generally prefer CT in there as well

devout fiber
#

Which better for PvE?

#

Or is gladiators badge better

#

I got remote guidance device on other slot

#

ilvl 460

shut garnet
#

sim

balmy condor
#

Sim is the answer

umbral rapids
#

Hi it’s me sym

balmy condor
#

Yeah, symfony will sim it for you

#

Dm him any questions

#

He loves it

jagged yoke
#

is blindside looking like the way to go in SL?

balmy condor
#

No idea

#

Depends heavily on tuning

#

Feels good tho

jagged yoke
#

yeh im really hoping it is

balmy condor
#

Might be blindside single target and ep/mp for aoe

jagged yoke
#

never been keen on ep

strange python
#

Hello there, may i ask which convenant looks good for shadowlands? And which spec is currently doing well in dongeon? If you know it

#

thanks you for your time

balmy condor
#

bone spike is basically the only viable option atm

#

its super overtuned

strange python
#

Bone spike is Maldraxus one?

balmy condor
#

ye

strange python
#

Thank you for your answer

balmy condor
#

dungeon wise, outlaw probably still BiS, because its outlaw. Sin will probably be okay with dots now that target caps are a thing, sub depends on tuning on their aoe finishers and the potential to funnel

#

really all up in the air on sin/sub for tuning and how the meta shakes out. I think outlaw is a safe bet though. They didn't get a lot of changes from bfa

strange python
#

We got back ambush, i do hope it turns out okay for a good opening

balmy condor
#

yeah blindside seems okay, that's just a numbers game

#

subterfuge 3x garrotes is just too strong in dungeons to pass up though

#

don't really see a world where we run MA in dungeons for example

strange python
#

Alacrity is the new talent OP ?

balmy condor
#

its the best talent in the row because venom rush is dog shit useless and exsang needs a lot to make it work that won't exist at least at the start of the expac

#

we're probably stuck with it

#

it's okay, but it's not super op crazy

#

the haste is nice in single target to keep the spec moving

#

but its kinda w/e in aoe aside from the tick rate on dots

strange python
#

increasing the bleeding and energy regen

balmy condor
#

yeah its basically just an energy regen like vigor

strange python
#

Understood, thank you !

balmy condor
#

might see a deeper strat/alacrity type thing later on depending on tuning imo

#

inner leaf
#

so how are rogues looking in SL boys

balmy condor
#

fine

#

they're rogues

inner leaf
#

lol not sure what that means but I appreciate it

balmy condor
#

rogues have always been fine

iron valve
#

same as now plus slice and dice, covenant abilities aren't totally awful, overall 5/7

sterile ocean
#

did Expidient get nerfed or something?

balmy condor
#

no

#

expedient is the same as it's been all patch

full jungle
#

Rogues are "atleast they are not a shaman" tier for me atm Kappa

grizzled jay
#

Rogue will always be at the bare minimum "good enough". I think the last time Rogues were legitimately terrible was naxx in wotlk and they were swiftly buffed the next patch

#

And that's just for raiding. Rogue has never been bad (or less than S tier tbh) for M+ or Arena

vast forum
#

iirc, rogue was bad in early mop

vestal wren
#

rogue was not the greatest during bfa

#

and still had a lot players

umbral rapids
#

This is actually funny

#

I’m guessing that means rogue players do more keys

#

Not sure

balmy condor
#

that means that out of all the keys above 20, 26% of the dps are outlaw rogues

vestal wren
#

rogue brings shroud in m+ what makes it a prefered pick if it can be abused

balmy condor
#

at least that's how I'm reading it

urban gale
#

not even the best utility in the game can make us be played more than dhs pepeclown

umbral rapids
#

Well how would you interpret the difference then @balmy condor
First one shows all runs, a character is gonna be counter multiple times, second one each character is counted once

balmy condor
#

yes

#

that's the difference

umbral rapids
#

Funny

#

At 15+ the difference between rogue and warrior is a lot smaller

#

And the sample size is 10 times larger lol

balmy condor
#

less dps warriors than dps rogues interested in keys

umbral rapids
#

Yeah that’s what I said, rogue players do more keys ^^

balmy condor
#

well, higher keys

tropic ocean
#

its for sure not shroud what makes you pick rogue 1st thing

#

2nd thing its not more rogues do more keys than warriors

#

its that warrior is shit in high keys compared to rogue

vestal wren
#

the player amount goes down dramatically if you filter for higher keys

tropic ocean
#

for both utility and defense

balmy condor
#

ye

#

you're just seeing the 'meta' happen as you filter higher

#

you can take a shaman to a 15 easy peasy

#

so you'll see more shamans

vestal wren
#

if you filter to high you almost only evaluate what the handful of "push groups" play

balmy condor
#

but as you get higher and higher and more 'meta' groups are established

#

you'll see less

vestal wren
#

you can bring everything to +20

#

assuming gear is good engough

balmy condor
#

yeah but keyboard warriors don't :P

umbral rapids
#

Yeah well I’m just looking at data lol

#

Not judging any classes or whatever

tropic ocean
#

you also need to have some knowledge to interpret it

#

you don't see certain classes in higher keys due to population

#

but due to efficiency

#

and effectiveness

umbral rapids
#

Yeah I know

#

I mean

#

Probably a little of both

tropic ocean
#

cuz if you look at overall m+ data

#

theres almost x2 ret palas compared to outlaws

umbral rapids
#

« Meta » classes to time a 20 isn’t really necessary

vestal wren
#

i am not 100% convinced on the efficiency topic

tropic ocean
#

but thats cuz u lack exp

#

thats ok

umbral rapids
#

What😂

vestal wren
#

like for the highest keys you def. have to bring a very good composition

#

but there is a huge diffrence between a +20 key and a +30 key

tropic ocean
#

theres not

#

its more efficient to bring a firemage and a rogue to 20

#

as it is to bring him to 30

#

the key tier doesnt change the class' capability

#

0 influence

vestal wren
#

it does change the requirement

umbral rapids
#

Yeah but you don’t need them in a 20

tropic ocean
#

infact when I boost 15s we pull so much that firemage is leaving keys with 180k+ dps

umbral rapids
#

You do in a 30

tropic ocean
#

non efficient to bring other dps

#

efficiency =/= requirement

balmy condor
vast forum
#

@tropic ocean there are differences in key lvls t ho

shadow wedge
vestal wren
#

the argument is true that its more efficient to bring a certain spec/class over a other in almost all content levels also trivial content.

vast forum
#

if you bring a firemage to a tyrannical 15, their primary target dies halfway into their combust

tropic ocean
#

yeah but it doesnt matter

#

when u pull 20 mobs

#

and he deletes the whole pack

balmy condor
#

some pretty galaxyBrainSkill discussion in here

tropic ocean
#

cuz u are not limited to pullsize in 15s

vast forum
#

assa PUMPS on medium keys (+20 or so) because trash usually lives the duration of garrote, not longer, not shorter

tropic ocean
#

cuz u dont need control when everything dies in 20sec

vast forum
#

you are limited by affixes tbh 😄

tropic ocean
#

idk

#

yesterday I pulled whole room into vokaal

#

on necrotic raging

inland plover
#

do that in explo week

tropic ocean
#

doesnt matter firemage 800kdps

inland plover
#

🙂

tropic ocean
#

can do the same in explo?

umbral rapids
#

Is it more efficient ? Yes
Is it required ? No

tropic ocean
#

dh does orbs

#

mage deletes pack

vast forum
#

try on explosive or bolstering 🙂

tropic ocean
#

done

umbral rapids
#

Guess we agree on that

tropic ocean
#

only real issue is bolstering

umbral rapids
#

Is it more efficient ? Yes
Is it required ? No
That said, i timed some of my highest keys with completely off meta specs that still did pretty well

#

Granted, yes it would’ve been easier with a mage

#

But it worked so whatever

tropic ocean
#

and what is the point?

#

you can do almost everythnig

umbral rapids
#

That was the point.

tropic ocean
#

with non efficiency in wow

balmy condor
#

the point is that everyone agrees and it doesn't matter

#

:)

umbral rapids
#

But I lack experience

#

So it’s ok

tropic ocean
#

????

umbral rapids
#

kek

tropic ocean
#

i answered to fuu

umbral rapids
#

Fair enough 😅

tropic ocean
#

cuz if you in s4 saying rogue is picked due to shroud

#

obv lack xp

inner leaf
#

Whats our best covenant so far (pre tuning?)

balmy condor
#

bone spike

#

by a mile

tropic ocean
#

think i used shroud a total of 5 times

#

or so

balmy condor
#

cause its omegalul overtuned

umbral rapids
#

That will teach me sharing data I find interesting LULW

tropic ocean
#

and 3 of them in temple last boss

vestal wren
#

you can do almost everythnig
with non efficiency in wow
i know, assassination is king of that

umbral rapids
#

Yeah only place I use shroud all the time is volkall and tos

tropic ocean
#

vokaal did in the begin

#

but ever since I saw russian tank route never changed from it

#

e.g. leaving portal in middle

#

and not playing stairs pack with 2 casters

umbral rapids
#

Oh I’m interested in that

tropic ocean
#

so u just take vokaal obelisk down to middle

#

so much more efficient than skipping right side honor guard pack

umbral rapids
#

What do you play instead

#

For count

tropic ocean
#

middle pack

#

and right side obelisk pack

umbral rapids
#

Right

tropic ocean
#

and skip double caster pack on stairs

#

where u need to cc 1 caster out

#

until 1st is dead

#

which costs so much time

umbral rapids
#

Yeah

#

That pack is a pain in the ass

#

Without a proper kick rotation

tropic ocean
#

i dont know if u can even play with both casters

#

on higher keys

umbral rapids
#

Not sure

#

My groups always cc one of them

tropic ocean
#

like even with 2x garrote

#

and vanish 2x garrote

#

it was very fiesta

#

anyway I did 22 atal or so with russian tank with 6k rio and he did it like that and it was so easy

umbral rapids
#

Atal is one of those dungeons with so many break points

tropic ocean
#

key was full int and we still finished with 5 or 6 min left or smth

umbral rapids
#

I depleted so many atals over 20 it’s not even funny

tropic ocean
#

the pathing was very different to what im used to

#

usually go left first then priest then to mid

#

but he went mid and snap all saurids +1 skycreamer on entrance

#

and then snap saurid pack+mid pack

umbral rapids
#

Ah

#

Chinese route :D

#

Then nerftank copied it

tropic ocean
#

it was very efficient time-wise
