it's so much worse than I thought

fleet whale
#

this isn't the spring of 2019 anymore

stoic needle
#

Rogue is one of the few classes where dungeon Slice is actually good

balmy condor
#

you know, I guess I shouldn't be surprised

#

that someone who doesn't understand how sims work

#

would just bash sims constantly

dark vigil
fleet whale
#

IF two leggos ever become a thing in SL and that's a big if....
i'm running doomblade/zold

dark vigil
#

2 leggos are high probability at some point yea

fleet whale
#

it's possible but they didn't mention it at all at blizzcon

dark vigil
#

in one of the interviews they talked about it

#

sec

fleet whale
#

they brought up tier sets in the future but i didnt' see anything about two leggos, but i guess i may have missed it

stoic needle
#

Translation: "yes but we don't want to commit just in case"

fleet whale
#

or it could be something else

dark vigil
#

yea

#

was jsut about to post that

fleet whale
#

wouldn't consider two leggos to be "exciting ideas"

dark vigil
#

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

stoic needle
#

I would

balmy condor
#

but if we get 2 legendaries at once how will we ever know what 2 to equip

#

when all the sims are just wrong

dark vigil
#

two leggos is exciting

stoic needle
#

Doomblade+zold sounds like fun

fleet whale
#

not really when it's already been done before

dark vigil
#

esp with some specs where they interact with eachother

stoic needle
#

Big dick enveni + execute

dark vigil
#

like blood dk has some nutty legendary interactions

#

frost mage has like 2 frozen orb legendaries

fleet whale
#

assassination sustained would be insane with either doomblade/dashing, or doomblade/zold

stoic needle
#

Bet they'll make it so that you can either equip 2 legendaries or super charge 1

#

Imagine like 60% zold

dark vigil
#

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

halcyon grail
#

I heard 'we plan to break the last tier of the expansion with stupid borrowed power. Stay tuned.'

balmy condor
#

sometimes when I sit in a room by myself I hear voices

dark vigil
#

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

halcyon grail
#

Anima powers outside torghast. Fuuuuuuuuu

stoic needle
#

Ok yes pleased

dark vigil
#

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

fleet whale
#

that doesn't mean corruption though necessarily

dark vigil
#

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)_/¯

stoic needle
#

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

dark vigil
#

all our trinkets are pretty boring yeah

#

skulker and iqd are prob the "coolest" lol

#

well as far as actually good ones anywyas

stoic needle
#

Casters and strength classes get all the cool shit

dark vigil
#

the tank ones are kinda cool

stoic needle
dark vigil
#

but with how strong pvp gearing is..

balmy condor
dark vigil
#

yeah

#

emp ord is rly good

stoic needle
dark vigil
#

i dont think glyph is used as much

#

emp ord is def really good though

stoic needle
dark vigil
#

cabalist hym is kinda clunky is it not? ive never used it but only heard

stoic needle
#

It's not so much about the tuning, just the mechanic behind it

dark vigil
#

ah yea

#

then yea

stoic needle
#

These are all cool as shit

#

We get

#

Phial FeelsWeird

dark vigil
#

harder to make cooler stuff for melee cause we're on top of the boss

#

i guess

#

idk

stoic needle
#

I call bullshit

dark vigil
#

yeah i call bullshit too cause tanks get cool stuff

#

like the uhh

#

cheat death

#

from sun king

stoic needle
dark vigil
#

spike is cool

stoic needle
#

It's just annoying that like 2 of our trinkets are basically the same thing(Phial and flayedwing)

lean geyser
#

so hows sin finally with all buffs?

dark vigil
#

good

balmy condor
#

around sub level

#

worse than outlaw

#

will be better in 9.0.5 probably

dark vigil
#

i think he means including 9.0.5

#

but idk

#

assuming

lean geyser
#

looks like venthry getting reworked would it be good for sin?

balmy condor
#

depends entirely on tuning

stoic needle
#

I wish blizzard would hurry up and fix it so I can sim

balmy condor
#

just build simc and implement it yourself

stoic needle
#

Honestly I wish I'd gone to college for compsci so I could do that kind of thing myself Sadge

bleak sedge
#

Jesus my sub sims 800 dps above my assa XD seems like im missing a ton of haste

dark vigil
#

oh yeah

#

haste is very very valuable

#

for us

bleak sedge
#

guess ill need to get some assa gear

lean fossil
#

so ive been on a fishing trip but i saw a thing on fb about tier sets, are we finally getting those back?

lean geyser
#

anyone know the best lego for sin in pvp

bleak sedge
balmy condor
lean geyser
#

mark of master assassion?

bleak sedge
#

So probably not in the next raid tier. Maybe 9.2 or 3

dark vigil
#

@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

bleak sedge
#

Its a burst meta in pvp so MA is stronger

dark vigil
#

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

lean geyser
#

so doomblade you think?

dark vigil
#

im surprised ma hasnt been nerfed

#

no

#

go ma

bleak sedge
#

because blizz is unable to balance pvp 😄

dark vigil
#

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

stoic needle
#

Doomblade is good for 3s and thAts about it yeah

#

I guess RBGs sometimes if you're in a teamfight

icy crater
#

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

stoic needle
#

sin is actually decent in teamfights in rbgs

bleak sedge
#

rogues are good for nuking their healers

stoic needle
#

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

icy crater
#

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

deft vault
#

MA is not the play in 3s for assas

arctic brook
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
gleaming eagle
#

sin is actually better than sub in out of stealth fight

eternal portal
#

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?

balmy condor
#

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

eternal portal
#

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

balmy condor
#

Yeah that’s fine

languid totem
#

Raidbots is simming with the current legendary values right?

spice spire
#

Yes

languid totem
#

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.

stoic needle
#

damn, you're right

#

@fleet anchor can you take a look at the way the doomblade dot's damage is being calculated in simc?

sleek otter
#

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

fleet anchor
#

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

fleet whale
#

does maim mangle increase doomblade dot damage?

sleek otter
#

It does

#

but dps increase isnt worth

fleet whale
#

with buffed doomblade in 9.0.5 it could maybeee be ok for a second potency assuming your tree allows it

fleet anchor
stoic needle
#

I'm gonna test it right now

fleet anchor
#

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

languid totem
#

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.

stark heart
#

Do you hit raiding dummy?

languid totem
#

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,

fleet anchor
#

Pandemic only affects the duration but since it's an ignite-style residual DoT

languid totem
#

MH non crit OH crits, 747/707=1454 total. Expected tick if MH only = 74.7, expected of total=145.4. seeing 101 ticks

fleet anchor
#

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

languid totem
#

Where should I upload?

balmy condor
#

Just upload a log and send it

stoic needle
#

Should I do just one mutilate hit or several

balmy condor
#

Do a bunch

fleet anchor
#

I would do some isolated

#

And some with refreshing

balmy condor
#

Yeh

fleet anchor
#

Try not to use any other buffs or debuffs though

#

makes it harder

stoic needle
#

Fucking Niya mastery lol

#

I already went and bought unenchanted daggeds

stark heart
#

Wish someone would sell me some base items for legos on ptr Sadge

minor salmon
#

In the icy veins guide under opener ambush is not used, is it not worth outside of procs?

balmy condor
#

Correct

minor salmon
#

Tyty

stoic needle
#

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

languid totem
#

First 5 or so mutilates were single, then spamming mutilate to stack and using mutilate to refresh after 1 tick of the dot

stoic needle
fleet whale
#

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

keen remnant
#

why I'm about to burn 4k

#

ah

fleet anchor
#

MA still great for solo play

fleet whale
#

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

keen remnant
#

I'm doing MA to play others too

fleet whale
#

but my next leggo is def doomblade

sleek otter
#

I have both I think MA is better for 2s

#

more potential to 100-0 atm

keen remnant
#

raid and m+ MA is close to zold?

fleet whale
#

zold overall is better imo

#

esp for raid

#

but, some people have gotten good logs with MA

sleek otter
#

Zold is def best, behind is dashing, behind is Doomblade behind that is MA\

keen remnant
#

but they're changing MA to just auto attacks iirc

fleet whale
#

nah, they're changing it to not work on trinkets

#

and oils etc rogue abilities will still crit

sleek otter
#

Would be useless if it only works on AA

fleet whale
#

they are essentially making it function like the MA talent where it only gives you crit on rogue stuff

sleek otter
#

but sub rogues going brr vanish shadowstrike skulkers are not gonna happen anymore

stark heart
#

yeah MH consistently gives like 31.5% but why it's so skewed from 30%

keen remnant
#

hmm

fleet anchor
#

Is that it's not refreshing back up for the "4th" tick

#

Like it used to

#

But it's quite odd

stark heart
#

over 8 seconds
3 seconds ticks

fleet anchor
#

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

languid totem
#

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.

stark heart
#

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

languid totem
#

Yeah. I noticed that as well when I got OH crit (full verse/haste/mast so it took awhile)

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I think it's losing a tick or calculating the residual duration incorrectly

stark heart
#

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

languid totem
#

So something else, is SBS supposed to increase envenom damage when using doomblade? Because it doesn't seem like it is either.

fleet anchor
#

I presume not but Blizzard has been inconsistent about this

halcyon panther
#

what are the best talents for pvp?

placid dawn
#

is it worth to multidot for resources on council?

stark heart
#

@fleet anchor iirc muti is coded as 2 separate damage hits, should I be able to get only one parried from front?

fleet anchor
#

hmm

stark heart
#

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

fleet anchor
#

The OH ability is proc'd from the MH ability

stark heart
#

if I remember correctly

fleet anchor
#

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

stark heart
#

I always get parried when I don't need in raid but when I do need dummy doesn't wanna do it

fleet anchor
# languid totem Yeah. I noticed that as well when I got OH crit (full verse/haste/mast so it too...

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

high wagon
#

what gem do we use? one agility and then next best stat gems?

balmy condor
#

sim it

high wagon
#

just dont see the agility gems as an option unless im blind

#

jk blind just go to show all

stark heart
#

@fleet anchor I just had 2 ticks on Mutilated Flesh because first one got parried

stark heart
balmy condor
#

FUN INTERACTIONS AM I RITE BOIS

stark heart
#

2 ticks damage fits neither OH nor MH damage tho

pseudo aspen
#

with doomblade looking juicy post buff will maim and mangle conduit gain value?

balmy condor
#

yeh but probably not enough I would think

fleet anchor
#

So it's probably mega messed up in strange ways

stark heart
#

well given that it applied only 6 seconds dot tell me one of the hands applications got parried

trim zinc
#

so rip zoldick?? ;;-;

stark heart
#

but it doesn't fit any of them

#

like ????

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

That's hilarious that the application itself got parried

#

I didn't even know that was possible with DoTs

stark heart
#

yeah it's bleed mechanic, how can that get parried

fleet anchor
#

I'll add that to the bug report lol

stark heart
#

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

fleet anchor
#

Yeah if the MH is parried I don't think it's possible for the OH to trigger at all

stark heart
#

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

fleet anchor
#

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

stark heart
#

wait, bfa dummies are scaled to 60 level?

fleet anchor
#

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 🤣

stark heart
#

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

fleet anchor
#

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

tight ravine
#

the rotten or zolk! I don't know!!

viral sand
#

Anyone know with the reqork top venthyr if itll be any good?

balmy condor
#

it seems okay

sinful cradle
#

We dont know yet

balmy condor
#

but yeh

#

we don't have implementation

#

and it's bugged in game

#

so

jagged yoke
#

hows assassination guys in SL? i remmeber it was supposed to be pretty bad on launch and iv just come back

balmy condor
#

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

jagged yoke
#

hm ok is it looking a fair bit better in 9.0.5 though

balmy condor
#

yes

#

we got 3 buffs up to now, 5%, 8%, 5%

#

and the changes in 9.0.5 are a buff too

jagged yoke
#

ah sweet

#

hows the spec feel compared to bfa? or other rogues

slender berry
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

the loss shrouded suffocation and echoing hurts in m+

#

but in raids it feels fine

#

blindside is good

jagged yoke
#

ah ok yeh i saw blindside seems pretty cool

#

thanks a lot for the info

cosmic trail
#

So uhh whats cut to the chase? I kinda just started at the beginning of SL so not sure what is it

tender fjord
#

Passive that will most likely need to not press SnD more than once per fight

#

Lead*

balmy condor
#

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

cosmic trail
#

So as long as I keep envenoming it keeps refreshing the snd timer?

balmy condor
#

yep

cosmic trail
#

Gotcha okay. that seems pretty nice

ornate jetty
#

if they just add crimson tempest to venomous wounds PepeHands

balmy condor
#

then what

#

we would take CT single target for the energy?

ornate jetty
#

smoother m+ kek

balmy condor
#

we're already drowning in energy in m+

ornate jetty
#

XD

lapis warren
#

not simple spec enough yet

#

aparently

balmy condor
#

if >3 enemies, energy = endless

#

ez solution

lapis warren
#

rupture everything!

#

If it dies no problem you get energy

balmy condor
#

we already do!

lapis warren
#

I know

balmy condor
#

CT venomous wound people are a different breed tbh

ornate jetty
#

i also wish FoK works like Shuriken Storm, no of target = no of combo points gained XD

lapis warren
#

It gains CP off crits

balmy condor
#

I think fok should be 2 baseline

ornate jetty
#

true that

balmy condor
#

but I don't agree with removing seal fate interaction

#

that's a little extreme

lapis warren
#

2 cp baseline?

stoic needle
#

Garotte also 2 baseline

lapis warren
#

Then i might as well not use backstab on sub

balmy condor
#

yeh fok 2cp baseline and garrote 2cp baseline

#

and basically every problem under the sun would be done and dusted

#

right there

lapis warren
#

hmmmmm....

#

Dunno just randomly going around and buffing things isn't a clear solution

stoic needle
#

I mean it's not random

balmy condor
#

it's specifically targeted

#

for the parts that suck

#

it's not the damage really

#

it's not the speed either

stoic needle
#

The damage is fine

lapis warren
#

But you're gonna buff things that suck so that things that are average suck so you don't press them?

stoic needle
#

I think ct should be baseline on top of that but that's a different area

lapis warren
#

It's random to me as you're not looking at the whole picture

ornate jetty
#

going back from BfA, i wondered why they didnt include shrouded suffocation in subterfuge going to SL

stoic needle
#

What would we not press if garotte and fok gave 2cp baseline

ornate jetty
#

god i miss that thing

balmy condor
#

I'm honestly lost

#

what would break

#

if garrote and fok gave 2 cp

lapis warren
#

Well you said FoK baseline right?

#

So all specs?

balmy condor
#

what?

ornate jetty
#

nono

balmy condor
#

we're talking about sin

#

are you high

ornate jetty
#

he meant fok baseline gives 1cp

lapis warren
#

I know what he ment

balmy condor
#

sub and outlaw don't even have fok

lapis warren
#

But you're about as clear as some patch notes

balmy condor
#

okay

#

FAN OF KNIVES

#

the assassination ability

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

you spin in a circle yeh

#

aoe

#

physical damage

#

that ability gives 1 combo point baseline

#

change the 1

#

to a 2

lapis warren
#

My bad for some reason my mind still thinks both are the same >.> <.< sometimes

#

Shuriken storm and fok that is

balmy condor
#

yeh who cares bout dead spec sub tho

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

we ride this rocket to the moon

icy crater
#

The moon is a fuel stop

stoic needle
#

I need to make an edit of that gif with sub on the coffin

balmy condor
#

realistically, if sub continues to commit toaster bath for the rest of the expansion

#

that's just one less channel for me to patrol

cosmic trail
#

@balmy condor how do you drown in m+ bc I dont

balmy condor
#

you garrote 4 times from stealth and then never worry about energy again

stoic needle
#

If it moves

#

It bleeds

#

It's really that simple

balmy condor
#

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

lapis warren
#

TBH best to just remove everything but assassination you don't even have to care about class balance

balmy condor
#

if you're super impatient you could gar gar gar gar rup

#

that's cool too

#

u live your best life

stoic needle
#

I usually MFD SnD before pull so my MFD isn't up.. I think I use snd too much

balmy condor
#

I don't use it enough PepeLaugh

#

I envenom when things get low, and I snd in packs of like 3

#

and that's really it

#

everything else is bleed stonks

lapis warren
#

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

balmy condor
#

it is baseline

stoic needle
#

It's just shit

balmy condor
#

blindside is the part that isn't

lapis warren
#

the talent i mean

median mango
#

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

lapis warren
#

Wouldn't that make it a more engaging rotation rather than the SnD everyone complains

stoic needle
#

You pretty much never use envenom in aoe

median mango
#

Perfect

#

😄

balmy condor
#

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

hollow escarp
#

I do the same when I see too many stacking nameplates

balmy condor
#

sin is a brain dead spec

median mango
hollow escarp
#

and I panic because I can't find the target I'm supposed to kick

median mango
#

Big key stonks

balmy condor
#

perfect for a brain dead gamer like me

#

like you can't fuck up sin

hollow escarp
#

how dare you say sin is a brain dead spec? I'm an intellectual gamer

balmy condor
#

if you garrote from stealth, maintain ruptures enough to feed your energy

#

and then hit CT

#

you're like done

#

that's it

hollow escarp

btw bois, I'm 5/8 for KSM with sin happyge

balmy condor

I haven't pushed keys because we need to gear a guildie's tank

I finally got 200 ilvl. Thank the heavens for pvp

I'm also 5/8 though

I don't personally feel like sub is too hard either in pve

balmy condor
stoic needle

Sub is even more braindead

hollow escarp
#

need MISTS, SD and Necrotic Wake

stoic needle

Ook ook ss bp

balmy condor

I need PF hoa and spires

median mango
# balmy condor like you can't fuck up sin

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. wackyjLUL
It's like I want to line up CDs but sin just works like see button press button

hollow escarp
#

ngl, I'd argue that I need to focus more in M+ as sin than outlaw

AoE is just shuriken + black powder

I don't have any 15s cus I can't get any invites Sadge

Do yall spam CT and fan of knives in aoe situations in m+ pretty much?

Shiv is basically your symbols of death

hollow escarp

but on gcd

balmy condor
balmy condor
lapis warren
#

Yeh but on GCD

#

It's your CD you try to line up basically with shit

stoic needle
#

I might have the beginnings of a m+ squad but we'll see

balmy condor
#

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

hollow escarp
#

my guild has a lot of people that like M+

#

so it's a bit easier for me to do keys now

cosmic trail
#

with the buffs in 9.0.5 will doomblade be good in ST?

balmy condor
#

but you still take zold because it's zold

stoic needle

Imagine having a guild Sadge

balmy condor

don't have to imagine if you're the guild lead

I dont have zold crafted yet MonkaS

I almost got into a 6/10m guild

#

But I don't have enough mythic experience Sadge

valid plaza
#

Any macros for Sin you guys recommend?

balmy condor
median mango
#

My main tank just asked me what weak auras are and if he can use them to make his buffs bigger. 😂

hollow escarp
#

all the 6/10 M guilds on my realm have established rogues or even officers that play rogue

balmy condor
#

you can also get a macro for like mouseovers for your dots

hollow escarp
#

so pepLaff

balmy condor
#

that's a thing

#

but imo that shit really sucks

#

cause then you just rupture random stuff all the time

hollow escarp
#

I tried MFD , gouge and kick on mouseover, I hate that

#

I'd rather tab target

stoic needle
#

Yeah I had mouseovers on my dots and I turned them off

hollow escarp
#

or select

stoic needle
#

Not worth

balmy condor
#

I used to do mouseover bleeds back in legion because that crit trinket that you had to stack

median mango
balmy condor
#

changing targets reset the stacks

#

but if you mouseover ruptured

stoic needle
#

Tab is just too reliable

balmy condor
#

you never changed targets

hollow escarp
#

eye of command

balmy condor
#

that's the one

stoic needle
#

That sounds sick

hollow escarp
#

upper kara farming Kreygasm

lapis warren
#

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.

balmy condor
#

upper kara to the mooooooooon

stoic needle
#

Mouseover kick is definitely worth it

stoic needle
#

And MFD

#

But not for dots

hollow escarp
#

kicking something that you shouldn't PEPW

lapis warren
#

Kind of a shame but good to know

stoic needle
#

Somehow I don't really kick the wrong things much with mouseover kick

#

If I do then I just kidney it

lapis warren
#

kick it in the kidney instead

valid plaza
#

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...

hollow escarp
#

well yeah, if we miss a kick, we have blind to cover for it

#

unless the mob is level 61

stoic needle
#

Nah sin does not have more buttons than sub

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

sin still has less buttons

median mango
#

Black powder is already one more

lapis warren
#

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

valid plaza
#

Black Powder and CT would technically be the same...

stoic needle
#

But ct is talented

median mango
#

Well then you can argue for st if talents count

hollow escarp
stoic needle
#

So you don't always have it

median mango
balmy condor
#

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

lapis warren
#

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

valid plaza
#

I mean, I macroed Strike with BS and was hitting 99 parses... how is it bad?

balmy condor
#

because you're probably backstabbing at the start of a dance

median mango
#

You sometimes miss a cast

#

Yeah

hollow escarp
#

even with stance bar?

valid plaza
#

But I had Strike also macroed to SD?

lapis warren
#

I personally use the stealth bar for backstab and ss

hollow escarp
#

I haven't played that much sub

valid plaza
#

So it did it first.

balmy condor
#

well then it's fine obviously

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Wouldn't it be Bs and mut and strike and ambush

balmy condor
#

cause bar lag exists

hollow escarp
#

I see

valid plaza
#

I just had SD and Strike macroed as well so I didn't get that problem.

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Fair

valid plaza
#

But yeah, on my bars I'm needed one more button. lol

median mango
valid plaza
#

As Sin

lapis warren
#

You forgot shadowdance in your list

median mango
#

Cause then that's another button. 😄

balmy condor
#

the part that says dance

#

is dance

lapis warren
#

ah nvm

#

confused me since you should have done ambush-ambush

balmy condor
#

sub doesn't have ambush

lapis warren
#

Well shadowstrike

#

whatever

#

same thing basically

#

Almost

#

least compare similar abilities no?

balmy condor
#

I mean I kinda did

valid plaza
#

Either way, interesting on my end; just wanting to try out SIn now that SUb is dead.

balmy condor
#

until I ran out

lapis warren
#

But is it really "dead"

#

Unless you play high end

balmy condor
#

nah

#

but it's a good meme

lapis warren
#

How long till it will be sin to be the dead meme again

balmy condor
#

sub does deserve an aura buff or something

#

don't get me wrong

#

but it's not dead

lapis warren
#

get the single target up some more

valid plaza
#

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.

lapis warren
#

I mean you can buff abilities in pve but not in pvp

hollow escarp
#

all rogue specs need 30% damage buff because we only do physical damage in melee range and bring no utility

balmy condor
#

sin is like 35% nature damage

viral meadow
#

Office space meta

lapis warren
#

Sub does do some shadow dmg

balmy condor
#

sub is like 30% shadow damage

lapis warren
#

more in aoe

hollow escarp
lapis warren
#

outlaw suffers a lot in pvp as it only does physical

balmy condor
#

you'd think it wouldn't be hard

#

but blizz makes it very difficult on themselves

hollow escarp
#

I did some skirms as outlaw, I felt like a warrior YEP

balmy condor
#

by simply letting issues sit there

lapis warren
#

You would asume outlaw (previously combat) would have the skills to pass by armor

hollow escarp
#

they have pvp talents for that

lapis warren
#

In general not just pvp tho

balmy condor
#

nowhere near sin/sub levels though

hollow escarp
#

ofc

valid plaza
#

@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

balmy condor
#

sin actually just bypasses armor on fucking everything

stoic needle
#

The problem is that now sin does basically the same damage as sub but it's way more consistent and way easier to play

hollow escarp
#

and also deals shadow damage

lapis warren
#

I would have prefered it would be called Duelist

stoic needle
#

Yeah aren't only our autos affected by armor? Kinda pog

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Eh it does like no damage anyway KEKlaugh

balmy condor
#

but you tilt me with maim mangle memes kekW

stoic needle
#

It's really only to boost the doomblade dot

lapis warren
#

If you would give fok 2 cp would you even use mut ?

stoic needle
#

I mean like

lapis warren
#

Besides single target

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

If the ptr buff to the bleed was enough to put it above dashing

balmy condor
#

fok damage is t-r-a-s-h

stoic needle
#

You can see why I think maim mangle might be good?

hollow escarp
#

sometimes it feels bad to use fok even on 3 targets LULW

#

get more combo points if I crit with mutilate

lapis warren
#

Don't play it but people say both do trash damage

stoic needle
#

Yeah you don't fok until 4

#

At least with this level of crit

#

It's weird

balmy condor
#

we currently mut on 3 yeah

hollow escarp
#

my brain is stuck in the past

#

too much multi speccing

stoic needle
#

I still do it because I cba to tab mut everything to spread deadly poison

hollow escarp
#

you guys use /startattack macros in your abilities?

balmy condor
#

I thought you were mr envenom damage

#

I thought I knew you

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

As a second potency though pepehmm

balmy condor
#

you wouldn't want to buff poison damage? hmm

stoic needle
#

I mean maybe

#

I guess I just wish they hadn't nuked our conduits to shit

lapis warren
#

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?

balmy condor
#

no

#

because the cp from fok ain't worth

viral meadow
#

I fok at 5 targets and still get 1cp. Feels like shit

stoic needle
#

It does

#

But first strike helps a lot with that

balmy condor
#

I played katar korayn today

#

in keys

hollow escarp
balmy condor
#

just for fun

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

I noticed the cp

hollow escarp
#

I tried katar once PEPW

balmy condor
#

I did not notice any damage

hollow escarp
#

not korayn

balmy condor
#

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

stoic needle
#

You're crazy

balmy condor
#

and then I played korayn in raid for 3 bosses after swapping

#

and I also didn't fucking notice

#

nothing has any impact

stoic needle
#

I definitely notice the difference between the two

hollow escarp
#

I played Korayn on Sire 2 weeks ago OMEGALUL

#

forgot to swap

stoic needle
#

That's actually legit tho

balmy condor
#

no it's not

hollow escarp
#

I don't even play subterfuge on sire

stoic needle
#

Double dipping on wild hunt tactics is legit

hollow escarp
#

I zug zug sire

balmy condor
#

for the p2 damage?

hollow escarp
#

and rupture everything else

balmy condor
#

the part that don't matter?

hollow escarp
#

I can't get more than 4500 dps on sire though Sadge

balmy condor
#

on the sword you can't hit half the time?

#

that's the cheese?

hollow escarp
#

tried to pad on first phase with fok from vanish with MA

stoic needle
#

I have that thing dotted like the whole time

#

Padding with foK

hollow escarp
#

@stoic needle hey, that's how I got my best parse

stoic needle
hollow escarp
#

because I always do good in phase 3

balmy condor
#

I play MA on sire

hollow escarp
#

and even 2

balmy condor
#

and the first vanish

#

is always fok env fok env

#

:P

#

5cp on adds

hollow escarp
#

same

balmy condor
#

big nut

hollow escarp
stoic needle

Maybe you'd do more with the big dick quadruple subt garotte in p2

hollow escarp
#

gonna join a pug and try crimson tempest

Purple rogue = green/grey warlock rotation

limber lion

Don't do it

#

Save yourself the trouble of wiping on the boss for an hour

hollow escarp
#

well, I joined a pug last night and 1 shot sire

stoic needle
#

Sire pugs are a special kind of hell

hollow escarp
#

was helping a streamer group to boost some people happyge

stoic needle
#

That's like cheating lmao

hollow escarp
#

2nd damage after fire mage overall EZ

#

no PI

#

I only do it to spread the word that rogues are not useless

stoic needle
#

We're missionaries spreading the word of sin god

limber lion
#

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.

hollow escarp
#

I check the leader

limber lion
#

It's such a laid out fight

hollow escarp
#

all the time

balmy condor
#

there's your problem

hollow escarp
#

or "fail = kick"

limber lion
#

Ah that might be it peepostudy

balmy condor
#

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

hollow escarp
#

yep

balmy condor
#

and the entire group goes "wow what a shit group"

#

and leaves

limber lion
#

Yep, pretty typical.

hollow escarp
#

but Sire doesn't have parse punishing mechanics that much, except the soak in phase 3

balmy condor
hollow escarp
#

you don't get kicked from pugs if you don't soak, only if you do low damage

balmy condor
#

10 missed auto attacks from moving for 0.5 seconds = blue parse dude

#

don't you know

hollow escarp
#

gotta compensate for lack of skill

balmy condor
#

I accidentally clipped an envenom buff by a third of a second guys can we wipe and try again

limber lion
#

It's funny how usually the people ignoring mechanics and looking to parse big are the ones who parse purple.

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it's the people who don't understand how parses work

hollow escarp
#

but purple isn't bad Sadge

balmy condor
#

and just think if they glue themselves to the boss and press their keys harder, it'll be 100 for sure

limber lion
#

Yep

hollow escarp
#

well that's pug life

balmy condor
#

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

hollow escarp
#

somebody actually did it LOLW

balmy condor
#

but even then

#

like 80-90 is achievable

#

with basically no effort

#

the bottom 50% of parses are like first time kills anyway

iron orchid
#

can't find a way to parse on sire with my guild 😢

balmy condor
#

and sloppy rekills and shit

hollow escarp
limber lion
#

I've actually done a CT run on Sire as well, but PB beat it by quite a bit.

balmy condor
#

yeh CT on sire seems questionable

limber lion
#

But yeah Whispyr, that's basically it. But then again not everyone plays with a guild

balmy condor
#

HB especially though

#

HB is mega ?

#

you take it for what

limber lion
#

Some are lone wolfs rhat just join log group after another, looking to parse big

balmy condor
#

p1 burst?

limber lion
#

Just p1 literally

#

It's awful

balmy condor
#

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

limber lion
#

I heard someone say "you get your majority of damage in p1 because you pad the adds"

balmy condor
#

and see if I can still beat the hunter

limber lion
#

Then I took 5 examples for him from the logs where someone did LESS damage after P1 than after the fight ended

balmy condor
hollow escarp
limber lion
#

He didn't say anything after that

#

Yeah, it's so dumb

hollow escarp
#

it's a good bump in overall

#

maybe like 200 dps

limber lion
#

Oh you get big deeps in P1? Might as well lust there then

hollow escarp
#

PI? modCheck

#

got PI bro? had good dam in P1

limber lion
#

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

hollow escarp
#

lol

limber lion
#

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.

viral meadow
#

Is sin PI in execute actually bis?

balmy condor
#

yeh

hollow escarp
#

it's hard to convince people

#

and asking for PI is a bit cringe

iron orchid
hollow escarp
#

unless the group actually fails to kill the boss

limber lion
#

Yep

iron orchid
#

I ran a normal CN yesterday, asked my priest for PIs

#

I discovered a new world

hollow escarp
#

I'm still 2/4 on the Normal Quest for Sludgefist 😕

#

need to visit that soon

iron orchid
#

I had not ran a NM CN since Dec 16th

hollow escarp
#

same, did 2 runs in december

#

btw, do you guys keep vendetta for pillar damage on Sludge?

limber lion
#

On heriic you normally lust the first pillar, so you vendetta 1/3 pillars

iron orchid
limber lion
#

On mythic you use Vendetta on openet and 2/4 pillars

hollow escarp
#

tbf, the last week was the first time I did so but I still couldn't beat my outlaw parse PepegaHands

#

I want full sin on my page

iron orchid
#

and then on pillar/exec phase

#

so probably max output

hollow escarp
#

tbf, lust was always bad for me

limber lion
#

Can't crop for shit on my phone sorry LMAO

hollow escarp
#

np

limber lion
#

But yeav I've done a fair share of Sludge pulls on Assa

#

As yoy can see my Sub is dogshit

#

:--D

hollow escarp
#

need to convince my guild to lust first pillar

limber lion
#

It's the best. Everyone has cds up.

hollow escarp
#

actually we did that last kill

limber lion
#

It's not like you'll be tight on damage

hollow escarp
#

but I died 10 sec before boss died

#

and that's big dam lost

#

like 50k PEPW

limber lion
#

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

hollow escarp
#

ohh, I know now. We had a lot of alts up to Sludge

#

we usually don't smash the wall

limber lion
#

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

hollow escarp
#

just last pillar

#

I used healthstone too early

#

but I would have died

#

because cheat death doesn't work on Sludge

limber lion
#

What do you mean?

#

For sure does.

hollow escarp
#

I die fast after hitting cheat death

#

not literally not working

limber lion
#

To which mechanic

hollow escarp
#

aoe

#

last phase

limber lion
#

I've literally killed people with chains on mythic and survived

#

There is no '"last phase" in Sludge

#

It's just one phae

hollow escarp
#

last part

#

of the fight

limber lion
#

Which aoe?

#

There's many aoe abilities as well

hollow escarp
#

haven't checked on logs though

limber lion
#

I've never had the issue with cheat death not working.

#

Takes a serious blow to actually die through it.

hollow escarp
#

but I need to show you my favorite death I had on sludge while I was paired with a sub rogue

limber lion
#

One thing you can die to is soaking 3 times in a row on Generals.

hollow escarp
#

we backtracked like 2-3 times before we decided where to go LULW

limber lion
#

That literally happened on one of our mythic pulls as well. Lmao

hollow escarp
#

you can see we were sitting like monkeys outside the melee group

candid quarry
#

!guide

hollow escarp
#

the worst part is that the pull was a kill PEPW

viral meadow
#

Ouch

hollow escarp
#

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?

dense hamlet
#

it deals dmg if ur infront of sludge

#

probably oneshots

#

and does like 20k on hit with anything

#

wall or pillars

hollow escarp
#

yeah, that's what happened 2 times, both at 5:40 min

dense hamlet
#

what happend?

hollow escarp
#

got hit by it

dense hamlet
#

did u get hit by slutfist

#

haha

hollow escarp
#

but in my pov I was behind

cinder yoke
#

you can get hit if you're too far into his hitbox

dense hamlet
#

well the game says NO

cinder yoke
#

it's pretty shit

hollow escarp
#

yeah, I guess I need to keep some distance next time hmm

dense hamlet
#

yeah go stand on ur ranged

hollow escarp
#

neah, it makes sense now

dense hamlet
#

do nothing

cinder yoke
#

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

dense hamlet
#

imgaine getting chained with a dh

hollow escarp
#

with momentum talented

dense hamlet
#

i dont think they are dumb enought to take momentum on slutfist

hollow escarp
#

checking

#

dissapointed

#

would make for a nice meme kill

dense hamlet
#

yeah

cinder yoke
#

can you still movement cancel fel rush?

low girder
#

If your DH is taking momentum on sludgefist that's kick worthy tbh

dense hamlet
#

i dont think u can cancel felrush

hollow escarp
#

it's probably not even better damage wise

dense hamlet
#

it is on mostly St fights

#

but on sludge

#

u get to use 2 felrushes

hollow escarp
#

they still don't play it in top 100 logs
