#assassination

this isn't the spring of 2019 anymore
Rogue is one of the few classes where dungeon Slice is actually good
you know, I guess I shouldn't be surprised
that someone who doesn't understand how sims work
would just bash sims constantly

IF two leggos ever become a thing in SL and that's a big if....
i'm running doomblade/zold
2 leggos are high probability at some point yea
it's possible but they didn't mention it at all at blizzcon
they brought up tier sets in the future but i didnt' see anything about two leggos, but i guess i may have missed it
or it could be something else
wouldn't consider two leggos to be "exciting ideas"
i mean with what they did in legion, its most likely gonna be a thing and its pretty "easy" for them so to speak
just balancing
I would
but if we get 2 legendaries at once how will we ever know what 2 to equip
when all the sims are just wrong
two leggos is exciting
Doomblade+zold sounds like fun
not really when it's already been done before
esp with some specs where they interact with eachother
Big dick enveni + execute
like blood dk has some nutty legendary interactions
frost mage has like 2 frozen orb legendaries
assassination sustained would be insane with either doomblade/dashing, or doomblade/zold
Bet they'll make it so that you can either equip 2 legendaries or super charge 1
Imagine like 60% zold
yueah maybe
some shit like that
if i were a betting man i'd bet that they'll add 2 leggos at some point in some fashion
maybe not exactly as "equip 2 leggos" but something like that
I heard 'we plan to break the last tier of the expansion with stupid borrowed power. Stay tuned.'
sometimes when I sit in a room by myself I hear voices

also from how they mentioned how sanctum of domination loot will work
makes me eerily think it'll be something like corruption
let me see if i can find the exact quote
Anima powers outside torghast. Fuuuuuuuuu
Ok yes pleased
yeah idk which interview it was
i cant find it
but they mentioned something about how the loot from sanctum of domination will have unique power
that doesn't mean corruption though necessarily
it doesn't
but it makes me afraid
but honestly, with how well theyve done with shadowlands i think even if they brought something back like corruption it probably would be good
the idea for corruption at end of bfa was good but accessibility and implementation was bad
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think it's gonna be more along the lines of poxstorm
And unique trinkets
I hope they have something like the mechagon rings again
all our trinkets are pretty boring yeah
skulker and iqd are prob the "coolest" lol
well as far as actually good ones anywyas
Casters and strength classes get all the cool shit
the tank ones are kinda cool
but with how strong pvp gearing is..
isn't that literally everyone except feral, ww, and rogues

cabalist hym is kinda clunky is it not? ive never used it but only heard
It's not so much about the tuning, just the mechanic behind it
I call bullshit
yeah i call bullshit too cause tanks get cool stuff
like the uhh
cheat death
from sun king
For some reason the agi classes got all the boring trinkets
spike is cool
It's just annoying that like 2 of our trinkets are basically the same thing(Phial and flayedwing)
so hows sin finally with all buffs?
good
looks like venthry getting reworked would it be good for sin?
depends entirely on tuning
I wish blizzard would hurry up and fix it so I can sim
Honestly I wish I'd gone to college for compsci so I could do that kind of thing myself 
Jesus my sub sims 800 dps above my assa XD seems like im missing a ton of haste
guess ill need to get some assa gear
so ive been on a fishing trip but i saw a thing on fb about tier sets, are we finally getting those back?
anyone know the best lego for sin in pvp
Yeah they said tsets come back. But they don't know when yet
ma
thanks
mark of master assassion?
So probably not in the next raid tier. Maybe 9.2 or 3
@lean geyser prob mark of master assassin for the burst
but in sustained fights prob doomblade
thats what i've heard
but i don't really pvp.
so take that with a grain of salt
at some point in this xpac i think i wanna settle down and go hard at pvp
Its a burst meta in pvp so MA is stronger
it is, but i think when u get to high ranks its less of that, at least for 3s
from what i've witnessed
so doomblade might be better there but that's kind of niche and doesnt apply to 99% of pvpers
so doomblade you think?
because blizz is unable to balance pvp 😄
anyone know where you can see which potencies will drop from CN in 9.0.5
all i see is that they will drop but not what does and someone in here was talking about specific ones at one point but idk if that was on ptr or just speculation
Doomblade is good for 3s and thAts about it yeah
I guess RBGs sometimes if you're in a teamfight
If you’re in a team fight as assa in rbgs you’re either trolling or genuinely don’t give a fuck about winning tbh
sin is actually decent in teamfights in rbgs
rogues are good for nuking their healers
you just kinda walk up to someone and kidney them and they die if your team focuses them too
you're basically just a worse warrior
So a useless sub rogue
The damage on assa isn’t even remotely comparable to other melees and it’s control not even close to as good as sub so like
MA is not the play in 3s for assas
!fuu

sin is actually better than sub in out of stealth fight
Anybody knows if pelagos combat meditation trait is counted on raidbots as fully extended all the time in sims? Like if you walk over every orb every time?
yes
shadowlands.combat_meditation_extend_chance
from 0 to 1
where 1 is always extend
0 is no extend
0.5 is half extend, etc
defaults to 1
Wow, that was fast :) ty pelagos is simming 15 dps more than kleia for me but i dont know if i can catch every orb in m+ or myth raid everytime, running with kleia just now with the stacking crit trait
Yeah that’s fine
Raidbots is simming with the current legendary values right?
Yes
I think it's overvaluing mutilated flesh from the legendary then.
In game, i'm seeing it do 30% of only my MH hit but raidbots has it at as 30% of MH+OH.
In game: Mutilate hits for 1091/546 and flesh hits for 114/114/114 = 30% of 1140
Raidbots shows Mutilate 117,554 - OH 58,189 - Mutilated flesh 52,020 = 30% of 173,400 (sum of MH+OH would be 175,743)
Patchwerk sim, single boss.
damn, you're right
@fleet anchor can you take a look at the way the doomblade dot's damage is being calculated in simc?
Even though it is a wipe, can someone help me out with dps
Im not sure how I can improve honestly, theres so much stuff going on
I would need some logs of this
Definitely doesn't match my beta testing at all, even right before launch
Both Mutilate hits always contributed towards the DoT
does maim mangle increase doomblade dot damage?
with buffed doomblade in 9.0.5 it could maybeee be ok for a second potency assuming your tree allows it
But yeah if you have logs I can take a look. Wouldn't exactly shock me if they broke something.
I'm gonna test it right now
I mean they originally hacked in a change to the tooltip to deal with the fact that both hits proc'd it (thus immediately refreshed the DoT)
Description : Mutilate deals an additional $s1% Bleed damage over ${$340431d+2} sec.
So at least on beta it immediately pandemic'd itself
Because of the double hit
The base duration is only 6s
Double refreshed to 8s because of pandemic on the 2nd Mutilate hit
I'm testing it now, OH definitely impacts something because the numbers don't add up. I'm guessing, based off of your comment there, that a portion of either the first or second hit get's ignored as pandemic is capped at 25%? of the initial hit.
Do you hit raiding dummy?
MH/OH both non crit, hit 732/364=1096 total. Expected tick of MH only=73.2, expected of total = 109.6, seeing 77 ticks,
Pandemic only affects the duration but since it's an ignite-style residual DoT
MH non crit OH crits, 747/707=1454 total. Expected tick if MH only = 74.7, expected of total=145.4. seeing 101 ticks
the damage should get accumulated correctly
At least it did last I tested
But like I said, it wouldn't really shock me if something got broken
But like, logs?
Where should I upload?
Just upload a log and send it
Should I do just one mutilate hit or several
Do a bunch
Yeh
Wish someone would sell me some base items for legos on ptr 
In the icy veins guide under opener ambush is not used, is it not worth outside of procs?
Correct
Tyty
cleave and swarm training dummies are just single muts
and the training dummy section is a few muts in a row to refresh
hmm it didn't pick up the dot damage in the single muts
First 5 or so mutilates were single, then spamming mutilate to stack and using mutilate to refresh after 1 tick of the dot
i'm starting to feel bad that i burned over 3k ash on MA lol
it was for pvp mainly but now i'm wishing I used it for doomblade
MA still great for solo play
i mean part of it was so i could switch over to the other two specs kind of if i wanted
i already have r4 zold
I'm doing MA to play others too
but my next leggo is def doomblade
raid and m+ MA is close to zold?
zold overall is better imo
esp for raid
but, some people have gotten good logs with MA
Zold is def best, behind is dashing, behind is Doomblade behind that is MA\
but they're changing MA to just auto attacks iirc
nah, they're changing it to not work on trinkets
and oils etc rogue abilities will still crit
Would be useless if it only works on AA
they are essentially making it function like the MA talent where it only gives you crit on rogue stuff
but sub rogues going brr vanish shadowstrike skulkers are not gonna happen anymore
hmm
So I think the problem here
Is that it's not refreshing back up for the "4th" tick
Like it used to
But it's quite odd
The 8s was always a tooltip hax
Due to the pandemic
But yeah hard to even start to know how to approach this breakage
I'll put in a bug report for it at least
If you mean 4 ticks of the same amount on the single mutilates, it still seems off by about 5-10%. Example, 4th mutilate hitting 663/647* ticking for 91, 4 ticks would be 364 total damage instead of 393 expected of (663+647)*.3
Btw, I also tested on PTR and it appears to function the same as on live except with a 45% modifier.
it's definitely takes oh into account, I just had MH non crit and OH crit, and combined dot don't give ~45% of MH damage
so it's some weird way of it losing a tick
and it just happens to appear as taking only MH
Yeah. I noticed that as well when I got OH crit (full verse/haste/mast so it took awhile)
Yeah I think it's losing a tick or calculating the residual duration incorrectly
it's kinda weird since baseline it's supposed to have 2 ticks
so it gives 3 due to pandemic while 3rd, ideally, should be a bit weaker since total duration is 6*1.3=7.8
So something else, is SBS supposed to increase envenom damage when using doomblade? Because it doesn't seem like it is either.
I presume not but Blizzard has been inconsistent about this
what are the best talents for pvp?
is it worth to multidot for resources on council?
@fleet anchor iirc muti is coded as 2 separate damage hits, should I be able to get only one parried from front?
hmm
it's like non damage driver with energy cost and 2cp gain then 2 hits with no innate cp gain but may proc seal fate
The OH ability is proc'd from the MH ability
if I remember correctly
But the OH ability has no flag to avoid being parried
So I presume it's possible
Seem to remember it's happened in the past
Remember noticing it in Antorus
I always get parried when I don't need in raid but when I do need dummy doesn't wanna do it

Anyway I've documented it with a bug report. We'll see if they take a look.
https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/issues/812
My notes on the older bug do seem to indicate it used to tick 4 times anyway after they fixed it
(Before they re-tuned it)
commented on Sep 18, 2020
In testing, damage was correctly done as 20% of the MH+OH hit spread over 4 ticks.
So something has gone wrong with it at some point
what gem do we use? one agility and then next best stat gems?
sim it
just dont see the agility gems as an option unless im blind
jk blind just go to show all

FUN INTERACTIONS AM I RITE BOIS
2 ticks damage fits neither OH nor MH damage tho
with doomblade looking juicy post buff will maim and mangle conduit gain value?
yeh but probably not enough I would think
I assume the number of ticks vs the tick rate screws with the ignite calculations
So it's probably mega messed up in strange ways
well given that it applied only 6 seconds dot tell me one of the hands applications got parried
so rip zoldick?? ;;-;
we still go zold
That's hilarious that the application itself got parried
I didn't even know that was possible with DoTs
yeah it's bleed mechanic, how can that get parried
I'll add that to the bug report lol
also I couldn't make mutilate to partially parry
I had several parries but it negated ability entirely
it seemed like driver was parried and thus no mh/oh damage spells were triggered afterwards
Yeah if the MH is parried I don't think it's possible for the OH to trigger at all
I am trying to test armour double dip because it's suspiciously fits 0.7 multiplier
but 60/62 dummies give me the same ratio, I dunno how much/less armour they have compared to 63 one
Yeah I mean when I looked at the number, assuming it was supposed to tick 4 times
it put the existing damage at like 4.25 or something
Was a little odd
But I'm not sure it's worth putting too much brainpower into since it's just obviously busted so they'll probably need to disassemble it anyway lol
Everyone knows we will be using 123% AP Bloodfang anyway 🤣
With these two bugs I feel like I'm being teleported back to August
Just repeating all the same bugs that Rogue legendaries had in mid-beta before the bugs got fixed. It's bizzare 🤣
life of an abandoned class
yeah I am getting different ratio on level 50 rare
well not even rare, just some quest target in bfa
Well, scaling/residual abilities are all kinds of fucked up in scaling leveling zones so that's hard to say
That's been the case on a bunch of Havoc residuals since Legion
the rotten or zolk! I don't know!!
Anyone know with the reqork top venthyr if itll be any good?
it seems okay
We dont know yet
hows assassination guys in SL? i remmeber it was supposed to be pretty bad on launch and iv just come back
Compared to most classes, not great
Within rogues, it’s meh
It’ll be arguably toe to toe with outlaw in 9.0.5
But rogue in general is still in a bad spot
So that’s not really saying much
hm ok is it looking a fair bit better in 9.0.5 though
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
tempo wise it's similar to eternal palace
the loss shrouded suffocation and echoing hurts in m+
but in raids it feels fine
blindside is good
So uhh whats cut to the chase? I kinda just started at the beginning of SL so not sure what is it
when you envenom with slice up, it gives you slice time
3 sec per cp currently
so you finish with a 4cp envenom, you get 12 seconds of slice
So as long as I keep envenoming it keeps refreshing the snd timer?
yep
Gotcha okay. that seems pretty nice
if they just add crimson tempest to venomous wounds 
smoother m+ kek
XD
we already do!
I know
CT venomous wound people are a different breed tbh
i also wish FoK works like Shuriken Storm, no of target = no of combo points gained XD
It gains CP off crits
I think fok should be 2 baseline
true that
2 cp baseline?
Garotte also 2 baseline
Then i might as well not use backstab on sub
yeh fok 2cp baseline and garrote 2cp baseline
and basically every problem under the sun would be done and dusted
right there
hmmmmm....
Dunno just randomly going around and buffing things isn't a clear solution
I mean it's not random
it's specifically targeted
for the parts that suck
it's not the damage really
it's not the speed either
The damage is fine
But you're gonna buff things that suck so that things that are average suck so you don't press them?
I think ct should be baseline on top of that but that's a different area
It's random to me as you're not looking at the whole picture
?
going back from BfA, i wondered why they didnt include shrouded suffocation in subterfuge going to SL
What would we not press if garotte and fok gave 2cp baseline
god i miss that thing
what?
nono
he meant fok baseline gives 1cp
I know what he ment
sub and outlaw don't even have fok
But you're about as clear as some patch notes

you spin in a circle yeh
aoe
physical damage
that ability gives 1 combo point baseline
change the 1
to a 2
My bad for some reason my mind still thinks both are the same >.> <.< sometimes
Shuriken storm and fok that is
yeh who cares bout dead spec sub tho

we ride this rocket to the moon
The moon is a fuel stop
I need to make an edit of that gif with sub on the coffin
realistically, if sub continues to commit toaster bath for the rest of the expansion
that's just one less channel for me to patrol

you garrote 4 times from stealth and then never worry about energy again
like it takes maybe 5-6 seconds
to get everything out
but you gar gar gar gar CT mfd rup
and you never have energy problems again
TBH best to just remove everything but assassination you don't even have to care about class balance
if you're super impatient you could gar gar gar gar rup
that's cool too
u live your best life
now we're talking

I usually MFD SnD before pull so my MFD isn't up.. I think I use snd too much
I don't use it enough 
I envenom when things get low, and I snd in packs of like 3
and that's really it
everything else is bleed stonks
I don't get why they wouldn't make dispatch (OR WELL is is AMBUSH now) baseline though, quite enjoyed that back in the day
it is baseline
It's just shit
blindside is the part that isn't
the talent i mean
How important is it to envenom in aoe for the venom buff on fok spam btw? I feel like I may be rupturing too much. 😄
Since we already talk about using too many things
Wouldn't that make it a more engaging rotation rather than the SnD everyone complains
very little
You pretty much never use envenom in aoe
on 6 you actually just CT over an envenom
might be 5
I can't count in aoe anyways
just ook ook if many mob me hit CT a lot
I do the same when I see too many stacking nameplates
sin is a brain dead spec
Haha yes that's what I've been doing. Me smart me hit buttons you guys say here
and I panic because I can't find the target I'm supposed to kick
Big key stonks
if you garrote from stealth, maintain ruptures enough to feed your energy
and then hit CT
you're like done
that's it
btw bois, I'm 5/8 for KSM with sin 
I don't personally feel like sub is too hard either in pve

Sub is even more braindead
need MISTS, SD and Necrotic Wake
Ook ook ss bp
I need PF hoa and spires
You say that and then there is me, wondering how my last sire kill was "only" a sixty parse and then I realised that used Shiv like maybe 14 times over 9 minutes. 
It's like I want to line up CDs but sin just works like see button press button
ngl, I'd argue that I need to focus more in M+ as sin than outlaw
AoE is just shuriken + black powder
yeh literally just hit everything on cooldown
I don't have any 15s cus I can't get any invites 
multidotting is where we turn brain on
Do yall spam CT and fan of knives in aoe situations in m+ pretty much?
rank 2
fucking Zerocool with his 2000 rio
Shiv is basically your symbols of death
but on gcd
get out ruptures as you need to, maintain CT, envenom if there's prio or not a lot of targets, otherwise hit CT again
if only
I might have the beginnings of a m+ squad but we'll see
shiv is like symbol's little brother with a learning deficiency that you have to drag along to social events even though he has no place being there
my guild has a lot of people that like M+
so it's a bit easier for me to do keys now
with the buffs in 9.0.5 will doomblade be good in ST?
yes, and it already is
but you still take zold because it's zold
Imagine having a guild 
don't have to imagine if you're the guild lead
I dont have zold crafted yet 

I'm 2/10 M for 4 weeks now 
Man I had no guild for like half of legion and all of BFA, made me stop playing so many times but having a guild is just fun. 😄
Any macros for Sin you guys recommend?
just a tricks macro
My main tank just asked me what weak auras are and if he can use them to make his buffs bigger. 😂
all the 6/10 M guilds on my realm have established rogues or even officers that play rogue
you can also get a macro for like mouseovers for your dots
so 
that's a thing
but imo that shit really sucks
cause then you just rupture random stuff all the time
Yeah I had mouseovers on my dots and I turned them off
or select
Not worth
I used to do mouseover bleeds back in legion because that crit trinket that you had to stack
And also sometimes you rupture a different target when you want to rupture Our main but you forgot that you didn't hold rmb
Tab is just too reliable
you never changed targets
eye of command
that's the one
That sounds sick
upper kara farming 
btw i heard very conflicting opinions does necrolord serated bonespike work with the bleed leggo or not, leaning towards not but just curious as sometimes people say yes other times no.
upper kara to the mooooooooon
Mouseover kick is definitely worth it
no
it's so risky
kicking something that you shouldn't 
Kind of a shame but good to know
Somehow I don't really kick the wrong things much with mouseover kick
If I do then I just kidney it
kick it in the kidney instead
Interesting... so Sin has more buttons than Sub then... I could macro Back Stab / Shadowstrike, and Shadow Dance with Symbols... In this case I need to add another button for the occasional Ambush allowed out of stealth...
well yeah, if we miss a kick, we have blind to cover for it
unless the mob is level 61

Nah sin does not have more buttons than sub
macroing bs/ss is just bad tho
Don't think so
sin still has less buttons
Black powder is already one more
I'm playing sub and did a lil testing just to get my keybinds in order. sub has more buttons even with the combining buttons
Black Powder and CT would technically be the same...
But ct is talented
Well then you can argue for st if talents count
CT is a talent
So you don't always have it
But yes, weird how it's not baseline, right? Welcome to the sin discussion. 😂
lets compare:
mut - strike/bs
rupture - rupture
enven - evisc
garrote - powder
ct - sectec
shiv - shiv
vend - blades
ambush - dance
vanish - vanish
and I'm out of sin abilities to link to sub
but sub still has symbols
and uh
yeh....
don't macro strike/bs
Well if it were AND it would do venomous wounds you basically gave sin the sub aoe rotation
kind of...
I know i'm stretching it
I mean, I macroed Strike with BS and was hitting 99 parses... how is it bad?
because you're probably backstabbing at the start of a dance
even with stance bar?
But I had Strike also macroed to SD?
I personally use the stealth bar for backstab and ss
I haven't played that much sub
So it did it first.
well then it's fine obviously
stance bar is the problem here
Wouldn't it be Bs and mut and strike and ambush
cause bar lag exists
I see
I just had SD and Strike macroed as well so I didn't get that problem.
I just linked abilities until I ran out, not really any rhyme or reason
Fair
But yeah, on my bars I'm needed one more button. lol
Do you also have a key where you dance without strike?
As Sin
You forgot shadowdance in your list
Cause then that's another button. 😄
the part that says dance
is dance
Well shadowstrike
whatever
same thing basically
Almost
least compare similar abilities no?
I mean I kinda did
Either way, interesting on my end; just wanting to try out SIn now that SUb is dead.
until I ran out
How long till it will be sin to be the dead meme again
get the single target up some more
Yeah, they need something that doesn't make it stronger in PvP but can do a bit more in PvE. Either way, It will be fun to try out sin; I also am excited to see if Venthyr (which I am) helps with the flag changes.
I mean you can buff abilities in pve but not in pvp
all rogue specs need 30% damage buff because we only do physical damage in melee range and bring no utility

sin is like 35% nature damage
Office space meta
Sub does do some shadow dmg
sub is like 30% shadow damage
more in aoe
yeah, the reddit meme was way to true 
outlaw suffers a lot in pvp as it only does physical
funny you say that, because blizzard separated out pvp and pve balance a while ago. That's why they nerfed ER in pvp, and not in pve
you'd think it wouldn't be hard
but blizz makes it very difficult on themselves
I did some skirms as outlaw, I felt like a warrior 
by simply letting issues sit there
You would asume outlaw (previously combat) would have the skills to pass by armor
they have pvp talents for that
In general not just pvp tho
nowhere near sin/sub levels though
ofc
@balmy condor I feel like they could just make Shadow Blades do more percent damage, or even make Shadow Strike hit harder or buff up Weapon Master... I dunno -- so many options I feel like... lol
sin actually just bypasses armor on fucking everything
The problem is that now sin does basically the same damage as sub but it's way more consistent and way easier to play
and also deals shadow damage
I would have prefered it would be called Duelist
Yeah aren't only our autos affected by armor? Kinda pog
many options and not doing anything is the blizzard way
mutilate
Eh it does like no damage anyway 
but you tilt me with maim mangle memes 
It's really only to boost the doomblade dot
If you would give fok 2 cp would you even use mut ?
I mean like
Besides single target
well yeh duh
If the ptr buff to the bleed was enough to put it above dashing
fok damage is t-r-a-s-h
You can see why I think maim mangle might be good?
sometimes it feels bad to use fok even on 3 targets 
get more combo points if I crit with mutilate
Don't play it but people say both do trash damage
we currently mut on 3 yeah
I still do it because I cba to tab mut everything to spread deadly poison
you guys use /startattack macros in your abilities?
a 226 maim mangle is 15%, which is a 4.5% gain to the doomblade dot. A 226 WPS though, now that's 16% extra nature damage during shiv
I thought you were mr envenom damage
I thought I knew you
I don't see a purpose for it
As a second potency though 
you wouldn't want to buff poison damage? 
Well mut aparently did 1.2k dmg for me and fok on one target did 569dmg. Wouldn't the less energy cost want you to already use it at 3 targets?
I fok at 5 targets and still get 1cp. Feels like shit

just for fun

I noticed the cp
I tried katar once 
I did not notice any damage
not korayn
honestly with how minimal conduits are
I can't tell anymore
like I played maybe 10 keys as burrs
and just didn't fucking notice
You're crazy
and then I played korayn in raid for 3 bosses after swapping
and I also didn't fucking notice
nothing has any impact
I definitely notice the difference between the two
That's actually legit tho
no it's not
I don't even play subterfuge on sire
Double dipping on wild hunt tactics is legit
I zug zug sire
for the p2 damage?
and rupture everything else
the part that don't matter?
I can't get more than 4500 dps on sire though 
tried to pad on first phase with fok from vanish with MA
@stoic needle hey, that's how I got my best parse

because I always do good in phase 3
I play MA on sire
and even 2
same
big nut

Maybe you'd do more with the big dick quadruple subt garotte in p2
gonna join a pug and try crimson tempest
N 

Purple rogue = green/grey warlock 
well, I joined a pug last night and 1 shot sire
Sire pugs are a special kind of hell
was helping a streamer group to boost some people 
That's like cheating lmao
2nd damage after fire mage overall 
no PI
I only do it to spread the word that rogues are not useless

We're missionaries spreading the word of sin god
I joined several "zerg 220+ mythic exp only 90+ logs" groups on reset and still managed to wipe on Sire.
I don't get it.
I check the leader
It's such a laid out fight
all the time
should've joined the "zerg 221+ mythic exp only 95+ logs" instead
there's your problem
Ah that might be it 
but honestly
groups like that are hell from my experience
cause everyone is in there for parses
which means you have stuff like inerva bottles
not my problem, I'm parsing pepega
and then you wipe
yep
Yep, pretty typical.
but Sire doesn't have parse punishing mechanics that much, except the soak in phase 3
me need uptime on boss, me ook ook stand in puddle
10 missed auto attacks from moving for 0.5 seconds = blue parse dude
don't you know
I accidentally clipped an envenom buff by a third of a second guys can we wipe and try again
It's funny how usually the people ignoring mechanics and looking to parse big are the ones who parse purple.
but purple isn't bad 
and just think if they glue themselves to the boss and press their keys harder, it'll be 100 for sure
Yep
well that's pug life
not understanding that they can hit like 97-99 in their guild groups on reclears and shit
by just being good
like I am of a firm opinion that if you know how to play your spec optimally, and you can kill the boss in a reasonable amount of time with your guild, without much of a hiccup, you should be able to just parse 90's straight through on heroic no problem
on mythic you might run into gear and fight timing stuff a little harder
somebody actually did it 
but even then
like 80-90 is achievable
with basically no effort
the bottom 50% of parses are like first time kills anyway
can't find a way to parse on sire with my guild 😢
and sloppy rekills and shit
same, vendetta timings are so bad in phase 2 
I've actually done a CT run on Sire as well, but PB beat it by quite a bit.
yeh CT on sire seems questionable
But yeah Whispyr, that's basically it. But then again not everyone plays with a guild
Some are lone wolfs rhat just join log group after another, looking to parse big
p1 burst?
I mean at least there's people trying to make HB work
props
I might run HB katar korayn tomorrow with my guild group when we do lowbie keys
just to meme
I heard someone say "you get your majority of damage in p1 because you pad the adds"
and see if I can still beat the hunter
Then I took 5 examples for him from the logs where someone did LESS damage after P1 than after the fight ended
how disconnected from reality can people be
had people complain that others kill adds too fast 
Oh you get big deeps in P1? Might as well lust there then
I've got to admit that my best Sire parse was because someone chose me as their PI target
They whispered "oi bro i saw your logs, ill pi you"
Because logs = damage
lol
My 99 is a boomkins 70
PI UDK on opener, affli between 30-90% and assa for the last 30%
Usually people just PI whoever does the most damage, not who gets the most value out of it.
Is sin PI in execute actually bis?
yeh
and they will keep doing more damage if they always get PI, so no one will ever question the choice
unless the group actually fails to kill the boss
Yep
same, did 2 runs in december
btw, do you guys keep vendetta for pillar damage on Sludge?
On heriic you normally lust the first pillar, so you vendetta 1/3 pillars
usually yes, but it depends on your kill and lust timers
On mythic you use Vendetta on openet and 2/4 pillars
tbf, the last week was the first time I did so but I still couldn't beat my outlaw parse 
I want full sin on my page
If you do this in Heroic you would have it on lust/1st pillar
and then on pillar/exec phase
so probably max output
tbf, lust was always bad for me
Can't crop for shit on my phone sorry LMAO
np
But yeav I've done a fair share of Sludge pulls on Assa
As yoy can see my Sub is dogshit
:--D
need to convince my guild to lust first pillar
It's the best. Everyone has cds up.
actually we did that last kill
It's not like you'll be tight on damage
It was saved for enrage because people were scared of the dps/healing check. But with out current gear and knowlege it shouldn't be a problem
ohh, I know now. We had a lot of alts up to Sludge
we usually don't smash the wall
Yeah, that's happened to me quite a few times as well. Dying to passive damage that I can't do anything about is the worst
just last pillar
I used healthstone too early
but I would have died
because cheat death doesn't work on Sludge
To which mechanic
I've literally killed people with chains on mythic and survived
There is no '"last phase" in Sludge
It's just one phae
haven't checked on logs though
I've never had the issue with cheat death not working.
Takes a serious blow to actually die through it.
but I need to show you my favorite death I had on sludge while I was paired with a sub rogue
One thing you can die to is soaking 3 times in a row on Generals.
That literally happened on one of our mythic pulls as well. Lmao
you can see we were sitting like monkeys outside the melee group
!guide
Ouch
wait, I'm actually dumb
is Headless Charge just by sitting in the line of Sludgefist?
or is that the damage from the impact with pillars/wall?
it deals dmg if ur infront of sludge
probably oneshots
and does like 20k on hit with anything
wall or pillars
yeah, that's what happened 2 times, both at 5:40 min
what happend?
got hit by it
but in my pov I was behind
you can get hit if you're too far into his hitbox
well the game says NO
it's pretty shit
yeah, I guess I need to keep some distance next time 
yeah go stand on ur ranged
neah, it makes sense now
do nothing
one of the funniest wipes i've seen, our priest dropped a barrier too far into his hitbox
all the ranged ran onto it (for that last charge) and got gibbed
imgaine getting chained with a dh
i dont think they are dumb enought to take momentum on slutfist
yeah
can you still movement cancel fel rush?
If your DH is taking momentum on sludgefist that's kick worthy tbh
i dont think u can cancel felrush
it's probably not even better damage wise
they still don't play it in top 100 logs
nvm, was looking at Hungering
you don't want momentum there either
XD
theres a guy with momentum on shriek number 6
yeah theres 2 out of 100
completly worth

since they buffed assa 
and its only 2k parses
vs 11k sub parses
nice
assa rising the meters allready
love to see that

i was hoping they would announce tier sets with 9.1
so we could get some broken ass set bonus to salvage the class
they announced ugly covenant sets
^
man i got hit in the face when they showed the covenant sets
like who asked for nf set to look like a literall clown
well, everybody gets them regardless of what content you do, so they don't have the same value anyway
Regardless of covenant?
no
no ofc
I mean it's welfare loot
i mustve forgot how nf looks
venthyr looks outsourced
venthyr is topping the meeters on transmog sets
Ok that kyrian picture doesnt look that bad
plate nathria set 
I like the male Kyrian set. It looks Olympian
look at nf
It's very Hercules-like
The venthyr set tho
