Is fucking sick

dense hamlet
#

i wanna switch to venthyr

#

if i do it in 9.1

#

do i have to catch up like 100 renown?

hollow escarp
#

I wanna play all covenants on my main this expac

limber lion
#

Who knows

dense hamlet
#

wdym all on my main

hollow escarp
#

well first tier I played night fae

#

hopefully next tier I get to play something else

cinder yoke
#

40 more renown levels in 9.1

dense hamlet
#

oh

cinder yoke
#

plus flying is tied to the covenant campaign so you would want to pre switch or switch after you got flying

hollow escarp
#

I have alts on all covenants, but my main is my main peepohappy

dense hamlet
#

i wanna play venthyr all of the expantion

#

but i dont wanna see on meeters someone is outdamaging me just cuz hes nf or kiryan

solar hare
#

Heres a better picture

#

Idc what anyone says

#

Thats

limber lion
hollow escarp
dense hamlet
#

wdym

limber lion
#

Because thr covenants don't do shit

cinder yoke
#

^

limber lion
#

It's your gameplay that matters.

dense hamlet
#

covenants dont do shit

#

i mean

limber lion
#

"oh he's higher than me, must be night fae"

#

No dog

dense hamlet
#

if u compare a 100 parse to a 100 parse

limber lion
#

He's just better

hollow escarp
#

I have a venthyr rogue in my guild and he is not below me on damage because I'm night fae

dense hamlet
#

and nf is higher

hollow escarp
#

only because he plays sub PEPW

little current
#

which legendary should i craft for assa pvp? dashing scoundral or doomblade?

solar hare
#

Master assassin

hollow escarp
#

hmm

solar hare
dense hamlet
#

i literallly simmed

#

if i go venthyr rn

#

i lose 150 st

#

its ALOT

hollow escarp
#

it's more for me

#

Palegos is 200 dps less for me than Niya

solar hare
#

150 isnt something to rly scoff at

limber lion
#

It's the old iteration anyways

dense hamlet
#

and god knows how much for aoe

solar hare
#

Probably less for aoe

#

% wise

dense hamlet
#

i think its more

hollow escarp
solar hare
#

Actually, i was just thinking about the ability itself

#

Not soulbinds

#

Ye

#

Ur right

dense hamlet
#

yeah i mean the soulbinds

hollow escarp
#

rogue covenant abilities LOLW

dense hamlet
#

the abilitys almost do nothing

limber lion
#

Yeah the soulbinds are the shit

solar hare
#

Im going kyrian next week PES_ThumbsUp

#

But i dont play sin 🙂

limber lion
#

The abilities themselves are whatever

solar hare
#

Outlaw cuckeroo

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

in theory all rogue covenant abilities look interesting to me

#

too bad no damage

dense hamlet
#

why isnt the sickest one not the best one

hollow escarp
#

sepsis is kappa

limber lion
#

I disagree. I think they're all boring as fuck. I'd much rather take something cool like slappy hands, convoke, spirits, ashen hallow etc.

#

It's so minimal and boring

solar hare
#

Which is the sickest

dense hamlet
#

i mean i dont realy care

#

we wont get thsoe anyways

#

for rog

limber lion
#

Like ok we're rogues and it's supposed to be small and stealthy

dense hamlet
#

so why think

limber lion
#

But it's literally nothing atm.

dense hamlet
#

if i could play venthyr without losing anything

hollow escarp
#

rogues wanted Ravenholdt in Legion, we got Dalaran Sewers LOLW

low girder
#

When one soulbind node does more dmg than your covenant ability

#

Feelsrogueman

limber lion
#

But your ability also increases your mastery by alot which in overall increases your damage much more than the last soulbind will

#

But yeaj, agree

hollow escarp
#

as NF

dense hamlet
#

okay im simming venthyr if its less than 200 i will fucking switch i dont care

#

oh fuck

#

the command table

limber lion
#

Good luck

dense hamlet
#

oh no

hollow escarp
#

have fun farming renown

#

it's not bad btw

dense hamlet
#

well for renown u can do normal dungeons

#

man i lost a mission to get the trinket that gave like 800 mastery

#

my life was like hell

low girder
#

Have fun farming anima*

limber lion
#

Anima is literally useless

dense hamlet
#

farming anima isnt the biggest thing

limber lion
#

Renown actually opens soulbinds

low girder
#

Well yeah

dense hamlet
#

u get 1k for clearing raid

low girder
#

But the renown is hilariously easy

#

Rebuilding all the shit is what takes time

dense hamlet
#

okay im not switching

#

fml

#

XD

hollow escarp
#

I have a venthyr rogue alt, you know what I miss the most there?

dense hamlet
#

gear

hollow escarp
#

using soulshape inside the covenant sanctum

dense hamlet
#

use doorof shadows

hollow escarp
#

and gear, it's 185 or something

#

yeah, I play the double door

solar hare
viral meadow
hollow escarp
#

raids

solar hare
#

Im swapping back to kyrian this reset

dense hamlet
#

man i have a monk that is 210 i couldve had a rogue thats venthyr

#

FUCk

solar hare
#

And im like

#

5 renown

#

And mythic raid the same day BES_PensiveCowboy

hollow escarp
#

take a day off work

low girder
#

Dungeons I believe

solar hare
#

Ya i heard people say dungeon bosses give it

hollow escarp
#

you get a lot in raids if you are behind, storyline also unlocks a lot of renown

solar hare
#

Ya

#

Bro

#

Since ik im going back to kyrian

low girder
#

Yeah storyline is required

solar hare
#

I havent turned in any anima

#

From this week alone

#

And i have 4.5k

hollow escarp
#

buy gear

solar hare
hollow escarp
#

and sell it

#

after you transfer

solar hare
#

Ye im saying i have 4.5k in my bags

hollow escarp
#

and pray they haven't fixed it

solar hare
#

Of raw anima shit

hollow escarp
#

not sure how that works

solar hare
#

I mean ill just be able to turn it in to the new cov but

#

Im saying this anima drop buff

#

Is absurd

dense hamlet
#

yes u get alot

hollow escarp
#

at least I won't get capped on souls next week

solar hare
#

In reality tho, the cov upgrades are kinda shit

#

And useless

hollow escarp
#

I have like 70+ souls and all buildings at rank 2

#

cap is 100 PeepoShake

solar hare
#

I have over 100 somehow

#

Peak game design

hollow escarp
#

so my addon is bugged

#

this is on an alt

#

so it's not addon

gentle gyro
#

is there some hast value where i can get out 4 garrotes during subterfuge window?

balmy condor
#

no

#

rogue gcd is capped at 1 second

gentle gyro
#

damnit

balmy condor
#

1 second is also the hard cap for gcds outside of adrenaline rush

#

just in the game

#

in total

hollow escarp
#

you can garrote 6 targets with vanish 🙂

gentle gyro
#

jst looking for ways to make my m+ runs less atrocious

balmy condor
#

I'm not sure what that means

gentle gyro
#

that I don't like my damageoutput in dungeons

balmy condor
#

idk man

#

are you running CT

gentle gyro
#

i sure am

balmy condor
#

and how much are you doing with what ilvl

gentle gyro
#

and I'm not saying it's bad just that it could be better

hollow escarp
#

the thing with assa in M+ is that you feel the need to have every target dotted but that's not always the case if you have enough bleeds up to keep energy rolling

gentle gyro
#

it's more a feels thing. shit dies before i can setup everything i want

hollow escarp
#

I used to focus so much on bleeding stuff that I often forgot to envenom and that's not good

#

in what key levels does stuff die so fast?

gentle gyro
#

just running ~10s, it's technically just an alt

hollow escarp
#

if you do enough damage and use your utility properly in M+, you'll be fine

#

can't overoptimize dots that much

#

but I know your pain 😄

gentle gyro
#

also can blizz finally fix that shit where it disconnects you if you get ported back to the NF garden, ty

#

wait a minute, to upgrade my conduits to 213 i have to do...+15 keys?

balmy condor
#

no

#

you have to go to venari

gentle gyro
#

so either clear 15s or play the lottery

#

why do these things exist again?

balmy condor
#

no you like actually can't get 213+ potencies as drops

#

they don't exist

gentle gyro
#

wowhead says 213s drop from +15 and it was confirmed multiple times on streams

balmy condor
#

I've run 15's and not gotten potencies

#

as have many many people in here man

#

9.0.5 will add them to the raid drops

scarlet sequoia
#

i’ve seen it too flint, don’t listen to him

stark heart
#

I haven't seen a single 213 potency dropped in m+

balmy condor
#

raz angery

gentle gyro
#

i mean i have 213s on my priest but hell if i know where i got them from

balmy condor
#

not potencies

#

that's for sure

#

endurance and finesse conduits drop from raid

#

heroic at 213, mythic at 226, just like the items from there

#

potency conduits however are dungeon drops, and +15 drops 210

#

213 is unobtainable

stark heart
#

I mean Venari random stuff

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

venari gamble

hollow escarp
#

can confirm, ALL potency above 200 come from Venari

#

it's only 60k stygia

#

1 upgrade every 2 days

balmy condor
#

the real question is

#

who in their right mind

hollow escarp
#

don't

balmy condor
#

would waste stygia on rolling for conduits

#

that are only like 8 dps up

hollow escarp
#

but they are 226

balmy condor
#

not unless you fucking bought all the 213's their not

gentle gyro
#

are they so minor?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

for rogue at least

hollow escarp
#

I'm almost done with all 213s

balmy condor
#

cto is an outlier

covert creek
balmy condor
#

that one gives 12 dps

hollow escarp
#

when I hit exalted I dumped all my stygia into sockets

balmy condor
hollow escarp
#

I have a spare one in bag when I get a bis item

#

I have nothing to socket and already got 3 items socketed

desert canyon
#

I bought conduits bc my gear is so shit that i dont want to put a socket on it

balmy condor
#

you realize you can socket more than 3 items right

hollow escarp
#

6 or 7

balmy condor
#

6

hollow escarp
#

helm, neck, belt, and rings

#

what else?

balmy condor
#

waist

#

wait

#

you said that

#

uh

hollow escarp
scarlet sequoia
#

wrist

balmy condor
#

yeah

hollow escarp
#

ohh yeah

balmy condor
#

wrist

#

I'd be happy never going into the maw to stygia farm again tbh

hollow escarp
#

I could buy the BoE bracers

balmy condor
#

I do my weeklies and gtfo

hollow escarp
#

I try to do dailies but sometimes I get lazy

#

like this week

balmy condor
#

I just can't justify it

#

mental go boom

hollow escarp
#

it's not worth

#

I'm just addicted to this stuff

#

I also enjoyed artifact power

#

don't ban me

gentle gyro
#

you could get AP from everywhere

#

but the maw

#

is just trash

#

trash tier zone with trash tier gameplay

hollow escarp
#

if it was from callings, I would think it would be great

#

like valor will be

#

you get raw gold for consumables and valor points YEP

#

I think the rank 1 azerite neck level is still farming AP

gentle gyro
#

dafuq

limber lion
#

I just opened up WoW and all my settings have been reset. System settings, addon settings, elvui settings, ALL WEAKAURAS - gone

gentle gyro
#

i mean you can still use it in timewalking

limber lion
#

Well, guess I'm not raiding today

gentle gyro
#

profiles also gone?

limber lion
#

I wish I had a backup.

#

No system restore points either.

balmy condor
#

well then you're the dumbass aren't you

limber lion
#

For sure.

gentle gyro
#

system restore points don't backup private files anyways

limber lion
#

Lesson learned that's for sure.

#

I do have a backup from 2 years ago.

hollow escarp
#

happened to me when I made my NA account, all my macros on EU were deleted

limber lion
#

Let's see how that works out.

balmy condor
#

oof

#

that's probably not worth

#

tbh

gentle gyro
#

I'm a programmer so I'm a tiny bit obesessed with backups

hollow escarp
#

I remake my UI every 3-6 months, a 2 year backup will be like a family photo album LULW

gentle gyro
#

one backup is no backup

#

why again are the venari conduit things unique?

limber lion
#

I've spent countless hours on my UI and WeakAuras. I've just been modifying and adding stuff for 4 years now.

hollow escarp
#

I even backup my screenshots PepeLaugh

balmy condor
limber lion
#

Oh well, time to try something new I guess :--)

hollow escarp
#

you can always sub to your favorite streamer for a new UI PepeLaugh

limber lion
#

I can't stand doing Maw at this point anymore and I'm still missing 2 sockets :--(

hollow escarp
#

I don't even have the mount yet

gentle gyro
#

or be like me

#

standard UI

hollow escarp
#

did first 6 wings of corridors the week it came out and never touched it again

gentle gyro
hollow escarp
#

it's not standard if your unitframe is not on top left

balmy condor
hollow escarp
gentle gyro
#

tbh i could move it back there

#

it's just force of habit because my healer has its UF there

balmy condor
#

do you at least have weakauras?

gentle gyro
#

i have dbm/wa's and some other stuff

hollow escarp
balmy condor
#

okay well at least there's that then

gentle gyro
#

but generally speaking, nothing major

balmy condor
#

wa's is major

hollow escarp
#

I do hide my weak auras out of combat

balmy condor
#

wa's is like 80% of my ui

hollow escarp
#

I hate having them in the middle of my screen

balmy condor
#

I hide mine out of combat too

hollow escarp
#

only keep some cooldowns and poisons out of combat

balmy condor
#

I hide everything out of combat actually

gentle gyro
#

i have like a WA to track prideful, a WA that shows healer mana and...some cds on my priest

hollow escarp
#

I like that a lot

gentle gyro
#

nothing for my rogue actually

#

what would I even track

hollow escarp
#

tbf, I could see myself going on 3 basic weakauras

#

garrote, rupture and envenom buff

balmy condor
#

dots, dots, more dots, pandemic timer, cooldowns

#

energy, combo points

gentle gyro
#

i see energy / cp on my personal resource display, provided by blizz

hollow escarp
#

I try to return to standard UI every now and then but I keep adding elvui elements over time

gentle gyro
#

I'm healing in a mythic guild, I use the default raidframes

#

because they show everything i need to know

#

i'd argue better than most raidframe addons. only one i ever tried was grid2

#

and you have to set up everything yourself

#

why bother when the base functionality does the job good enough

#

Oh, I have one WA that yells at me to kill the NF Pod in Arenas tinfoil_pepe

hollow escarp
#

I can't find a screenshot of my ui because I rarely do screenshots in combat

gentle gyro
#

that's one of m advantages i suppose, if you disabled all addons tomorrow it's likely I wouldn't even notice

royal lantern
#

bruh

#

default UI for healing is the best

#

simply because you 100%wont get those weird" uhm my ui didnt show me that" moment

#

like, ofc customize it too make it better

#

but default ui=best

viral meadow
#

does vanish reset first strike koryan soulbind?

soft shale
#

no it does not

viral meadow
#

blizz cmon

feral merlin
somber nymph
#

Why does it feel like mutilates energy cost is way to high compared to energy gain atm?

oblique flare
#

i think mainly because it's mostly either only 2 cp or 4 usually

#

and if it's 3 it's still eh

lament dove
#

got invited to a dungeon and got asked if I have MA and know what to do with it... I'm starting to get disgusted with the game

viral meadow
#

but

#

did you know what to do with it?

lament dove
#

as assa?

viral meadow
#

sarcastic

raven locust
#

Those people are rare and far between, definitely not enough to get disgusted by

viral meadow
#

was it NW?

lament dove
#

yeah:)

raven locust
#

They could have just been asking out of curiosity, I doubt they were patronizing you, no need to immediately assume the worst

viral meadow
#

yeah you can use MA to 100% crit with the weps

primal zinc
#

can i ask a quick question for raid weapon buffs both aoe and ST?

viral meadow
#

although it's getting removed soon

primal zinc
#

whats better? 2x shadowcore or 1 shadow 1 stone?...and what about pots?

#

whats better for aoe and for ST? phantom fire or agi

raven locust
#

Anything you could want to know is in the Pins

viral meadow
#

but they're so close

primal zinc
raven locust
#

They're in the guides in the pins

primal zinc
#

i cant find how to sim differene pots and weapon buffs

raven locust
#

They're right there for weapon buffs (:

low girder
#

You can also paste this into advanced sim under your simc paste

primal zinc
#

so the best is main hand shadow oil/offhand stone and pot phantom fire
for ST
and cleave
all around aoe is 2x stones and agi pot

limber lion
#

Definitely not.

#

I've ALWAYS simmed 2x Sharpening Stone and Spectral Agi higher on all content.

#

Sim yourself for best results.

celest ruin
#

can you block xymox mc ghosts with cloak?

iron orchid
dry bridge
#

Hey guys ,, is rogue lacking in aoe , i mean even with tanks like pala dh as ass and sub even outlaw sometimes or i am mistaken

raven locust
#

Outlaw is very strong atm

royal lantern
#

for m+ rogue is good

#

or more like, outlaw is good

#

for raiding you could argure that its the worst class in the game atm tbh

#

pvp is pvp, who cares about that

hollow escarp
#

have you guys at least tried assassination in M+? WeirdDude

#

I played both and I always had more damage on prides and bosses as sin

dry bridge
#

Im getting smashed as assassin in 3 targets in m+ by tanks ,,, so i guess im just bad xD

hollow escarp
#

that's just the initial burst

#

once mobs live more, assa damage is decent in aoe

limber lion
#

Feast + Spectral Agi + Stone/Stone

primal zinc
#

ty caverion

#

btw i have 760 haste and crit sims higher for upgrades

#

stat weight haste is 1.58 and crit is 1.73

limber lion
#

Yeah, that's pretty normal. Assa needs quite a bit of crit as well to feel good. Especially in AoE.

#

Crit sims higher for me as well, but not quite as much as you.

primal zinc
#

as for now

#

is it still better dashing scounrel or? zoldyck

#

i did 75+ on hungering mythic

#

and i had 347 energy gain none wasted

#

75+ parse i mean 😄

limber lion
#

Nice, getting there 🙂

limber lion
nocturne orchid
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

limber lion
primal zinc
raven locust
#

No the stats are correct they just change with ilvl and gear

nocturne orchid
#

i was checking since i realized i have a fuckton of haste now

#

so i might change specs now

#

i even went venthyr

hollow escarp
#

does venthyr soulbinds sim better for you?

primal zinc
nocturne orchid
#

i reaslly don't know but since it had haste i thought "maybe it's better for assa"

raven locust
#

He was talking to Blac about Venthyr

hollow escarp
#

I sim almost 6k as NF but I play zoldyck

#

same ilvl

#

5989 to be more precise

primal zinc
#

the thing with venthyr atm is that you spend 2 gcds for activation and reactivation

#

of flag

hollow escarp
#

yeah, that's changing

primal zinc
#

sometime i make 30 charges

#

some time i make 26/24 depends on how many 4cp envenoms i do

#

cos sometimes i do mut 3cps and ambush blind side up to 5

#

so you spend more gcds

#

i dont know if the 12sec would be enough for 30 capped cps

#

even with no gcd on click or energy cost

#

i wish i had sims from ptr with the same gear

dark marten
#

where can I see which slot is best for each legendary?

primal zinc
#

!bus

#

!bis

prisma monolithBOT
dark marten
primal zinc
#

😄

manic harness
#

I don't see Leggings changing as the BIS slot due to the amount if stats legs have, right?

#

I think I'm gonna go ahead and upgrade my 190 Zoldyck's now..

raven locust
#

Zoldyck is more versatile and provides execute which is important on a lot of bosses

#

Patch is still weeks out so they're likely to do more changes

primal zinc
#

i have DS 235 zoldyck 235.....doomblade 190 and im thinking of doing str8 away the crit 100% after stealth 4sec leggo....which one should i upgrade doomblade shoulders??? or ring crit?

#

master assassin

raven locust
#

if you pvp might as well upgrade MA

sleek otter
#

next patch doomblade with prob be BiS for pvp too

manic harness
#

I don't think MA is even gonna be good anymore

raven locust
#

Still have more than enough time to get Ash till next patch

primal zinc
#

MA is good for some "cleave" dungs too....if 4 targets 5 cp rapts to all 4 targets with poison qatar and talent last row

pulsar sluice
#

feelcraft tho

raven locust
#

Qatar is a yikes

pulsar sluice
#

MA is still good, most pvpers opted for vers bonus anyway

manic harness
#

I mean say Feelcraft all you want but MA is getting a huge nerf

raven locust
#

MA is also great with Outlaw KS build

hollow escarp
#

it's not getting nerfed

#

it's getting fixed

pulsar sluice
#

Yeah sure, for skulkers and like one dungeon

primal zinc
#

!feelcraft xD

#

what about tiny tosix?

sleek otter
#

lmao

raven locust
#

Definitely better for more than one dungo

primal zinc
#

another feet slot?

raven locust
#

Tiny is garbage, the sims are in pins

primal zinc
#

sims on pins hsow that tiny is almost top

sleek otter
#

decent dmg after buff for pvp but yknow doomblade is way better

primal zinc
#

what is SBS?

sleek otter
#

oh yea hes right

#

Necro bleed

pulsar sluice
#

serrated bone spike yep

manic harness
#

I need to go look at the changes again

primal zinc
#

VW?

manic harness
#

Venomous Wounds

primal zinc
#

so doombalde op next patch?

sleek otter
#

Bis for pvp for sure

primal zinc
#

with inferanl blled talent

sleek otter
#

but zoldyck still best for pve

raven locust
#

Just good nowhere near op

primal zinc
#

so zoldyck=DS on next patch aswell for pve

sleek otter
#

assassination currently has best execute in the game with zoldyck, I would say overall Zoldyck is better, dont lets the sims fool u

primal zinc
#

well i mean

#

the top 2 for raiding is zoldyck and then DS even in the next patch

crisp edge
#

like i love how confident people are in class discord like jesus christ some people talk like they literally came from the future fucking world 1st racers make wrong predictions all the time and they have been playing this game since day how can you be so sure about some stuff that hasnt even gone live ... monkaomega

raven locust
#

Don't think a single person has given that vibe off

shrewd plinth
#

!bis

prisma monolithBOT
raven locust
#

You ok?

pulsar sluice
#

15% on doomblade ain't gonna make it better than MA imo

#

it's just the bleed getting a buff and the bleed is trivial

crisp edge
#

for pvp it probably wouldnt but that will still remain on so many things specially how the meta will shift in 9.0.5

primal zinc
#

@crisp edge if you dont like the conversation we have just close ur eyes or do something else than being judgmental

crisp edge
#

@primal zinc i dont mind the conversation buddy thats why im here im just curios how can people be so sure of everything with litearlly nothing reliable in their hands beside a 3rd party engine ( that most of them dont even know how to use it )

primal zinc
#

thats why its called discussion

raven locust
#

Because they're talking about the current state of buffs, no one is saying these things will be exactly as is come patch

primal zinc
#

or "theorycraft"

crisp edge
#

i mean how often do you find people not being so sure about stuff in discord classes i kind of find that rare tbh specially from the regular ones

primal zinc
#

its just a prediction if DS or zoldyck will be still op on raids/pve content

#

thats all

raven locust
#

They're not even close to op pepehands

crisp edge
#

what is DS "?

primal zinc
#

lol

sleek otter
#

dashing

primal zinc
#

i mean top not op

crisp edge
#

ah scroundel

primal zinc
#

xD

crisp edge
#

i mean if your talking about the current tier it probably will remain the same but in 9.1 its gonna come down to how the raid bosses will look like avg kill timing and so many other things

#

maybe doomblade will show some edge in some single target scenarios idk but probably unlikely

trim zinc
#

but u gotta think about execute phase

#

and thats sooooo important to give up

#

even with another leggo have more dmg overall

primal zinc
#

thats why i said before the prios on leggos should be zoldyck/ds//doomblade///shiv/MA

raven locust
#

@trim zinc Yep the other legos would need to be a pretty decent chunk of damage to be taken over Zoldyck for that alone

trim zinc
#

ya when we could use 2 leggos we prob go zold+dashing to buff even more execute

crisp edge
#

on our level ( casual to above average meaning top 50 60 ish ) it wont matter at all cause by the time we get to those execute type of bosses raid will be overgeared so you can just prior your own dmg over providing what the raid needs

trim zinc
#

so ur acctualy inting your own group ;-;

raven locust
#

The majority of bosses have the most difficult part in the last phase so Zoldyck is just as important in casual guilds

trim zinc
#

true

#

even more on casual guild that poeple r not that good so u need better execute

crisp edge
#

your only inting if your playing in a guild thats completely overgeared and cant kill a boss that died months ago your execute dmg as a sin rogue should not matter at all if the guild cant kill it its not your fault its guilds fault

raven locust
#

Assassination has pretty big execute

trim zinc
#

true, but ur always gonna make everything u can to kill a boss and not farm logs

crisp edge
#

@raven locust yea but your missing the whole point your not getting what im saying

raven locust
#

I do get it, it's just bad logic

#

If you're using that same mentality then the rest of the guild could be as well, why even try if you're not going to play what will make the boss the easiest?

trim zinc
#

like i said even more on bad guilds zoldick is waaaay more valuable cuz people cant hand the last phase so u need execute dmg

trim zinc
#

everyone uses zold cuz its better in all situations and cuz the execute to make bosses die faster
even if it isnt the leggo that does more dmg at the end of the fight

raven locust
#

It's also an incredibly toxic mindset to say that it's the guilds fault and not yours when it's just a single legendary choice that makes the boss easier

trim zinc
#

imagine if all people on that guild pick the highest parse leggo instead the one that makes the boss easier

#

no one kill nothing

We were doing Sire last night and they were saying we werent doing enough dps when we didn't get to phase 3 in the first place and easily getting past phase 1, was really frustrating when they just said it was the Dps fault and starting kicking the people actually doing mechanics

frail fossil
#

i mean that is clearly a bait

sleek otter
#

Like I asked for help last night cuz they were about to kick me

frail fossil
#

execute bad because the non execute legendary give me 20 more dps overall poggers

trim zinc
#

my rl says to me "funnel ST on that guy" and thats it

raven locust
#

Sad part is people unironically believe that @frail fossil

frail fossil
dark hollow
#

okay, i've hit my limit on dummy benefits and looking for takes on 4+ aoe. guidance is to keep garrote and rupt up on everything. with energy and cp build though i never find myself with enough to really do that. are we just looking to keep rolling as many as we can, and essentially never env?

frail fossil
#

since u have so much thing to keep up

#

depends of the number of target but in AOE, not cleave u usually dont have really time to get some envenoms up

trim zinc
#

dont use CT?

frail fossil
#

why wouldn't u use CT ?

trim zinc
#

one question tho
after i do my first ct should i keep using it or only refresh and but rupt on?

frail fossil
#

you want to keep all your dots up so that includes CT when it's running out

crimson palm
#

you should ping koffing and ask him questions directly, he's the master of rogues

trim zinc
#

so i dont spam ct just for the dmg

#

hmm i was kinda doing that

celest ruin
#

tfw your tank dcs at 10% remaining

nocturne orchid
#

oof

sly elk
#

So I was thinking about it

#

And keeping in mind, I'm not a veteran assassin player. I'm pretty new, so I might be off base here

#

With the cttc changes and the energy changes, over the course of a 9 minute fight, that's going to be a lot of extra energy we have to play with

gusty mirage
#

A lot of extra CP moreso

trim zinc
#

its like more 10 envenons

#

no?

sly elk
#

It might seem marginal when considered small scale, but an extra 2 energy every bleed tick (roughly every 2 seconds) over the course of 9 minutes will give you about 270 extra energy overall, plus the extra 25 energy every 45 seconds from not having to cast SnD, thats an extra 300 energy off the top

#

So you're looking at roughly 600 extra energy to play around with over the current rotation over the course of a 9 minute fight

gusty mirage
#

I wouldn’t know tbh, is cut coming back in 9.0.5 or 9.1? I haven’t been keeping up too closely

raven locust
#

We lost the 10% passive energy, it comes up to roughly the same energy

gusty mirage
#

Now if they could just make CT baseline and rework the last row of talents 🙂

topaz saffron
#

CT not being baseline is a crime

sly elk
#

Even considering us losing the 10%, it's still net positive overall

gusty mirage
#

Esp because we save a ton of CP with the management of snd

raven locust
#

It's a net gain about 180ish dps but not as much energy as you were thinking

oblique flare
#

having PB and CT would be godly

raven locust
#

Most of the dps comes from the extra Envenoms we get

sly elk
#

It's actually exactly as much energy as I was thinking lol

#

It's math, so there's not much variance

gusty mirage
#

They ended up giving sub a baseline aoe finisher, so there’s hope

sly elk
#

Essentially, assuming you maintain dots, the energy change to wounds alone covers the 10% loss

#

Meaning any energy you get from not casting SnD is gravy

raven locust
#

Again you're not account for the lost 10% energy, sure thats the energy you gain from the extra 2 a tick but you lost out on the passive energy

sly elk
#

I am accounting for it

raven locust
#

It literally comes up to about the same energy as live

sly elk
#

Energy is 1 every decasecond (roughly 10 a second). Venomous wound change gives us an extra 2 every 2 seconds

gusty mirage
#

Yeah but he’s also factoring in not having to push snd as often

sly elk
#

It's very basic division to note that the 10% gain (1 energy a second) = 2 energy every 2 seconds

#

You're gaining 10 energy every second instead of 11, but every time your bleeds tick roughly every 2 seconds, you're making that energy up. The only time it's less is if you're not maintaining both garrote and rupture

#

Also, unless something happened and they got rid of haste affecting DoT time, that's assuming the absolute lowest possible base rate for garrote and rupture ticks. At minimum, the venomous wounds change matches up. At anything above minimum, it's net gain (though marginal at best)

#

That's also not including things like multi-dotting and the like, wherein obviously you're gaining more per target than the base 10% from old SnD

#

Add also the benefits from certain legendaries coming into play, like having more envenoms to keep dashing up and running (assuming it ever becomes a viable option) since we don't have to worry about SnD falling off typically

#

Even if we remove the energy change from the venomous wounds change as net neutral, you're still looking at about 9-10 extra envenoms at least in a sub-10 fight

nocturne orchid
#

Man doomblade seema pretty juicy ngl

sly elk
#

The extra 10-15% damage per envenom could be pretty saucy

nocturne orchid
#

i vendored a chest yesterday thinking i wasn't making more dps on assa

use item restore

dark vigil
#

its fine it probably wasnt that big anyways

main crypt
#

i levelling my rogue, i have faith for next tier

dark vigil
#

i mean every tier theres gonna be several fights where execute is important

#

sin will always have its place, just early on was really bad and needed those aura buffs

#

kinda same with destro

#

well not the execute but the aura buffs

main crypt
#

do you think it's applicable to play outlaw in m+ and sin in raids?

#

i have a feeling ill just get removed if someone sees me playing sin on a key lol

subtle tundra
#

most people dont check

#

so yea while you will get kicked at some point, it wont be often

#

and as long as you do good damage they wont mind during the dungeon

main crypt
#

awesome thanks

frozen jasper
candid quarry
#

Would say its a bigger chance of getting kicked in lower keys. Since in high keys u will do more dmg as sin than in lower

dark vigil
#

yeah but higher keys all they want is the meta too

#

so its a bit of both

candid quarry
#

Thats true

sullen fern
#

for Zoldyck Insignia, is it better to craft on legs or feet?

stoic needle

Legs

dark vigil

legs has most stat value

#

yea

sullen fern

ah ok, ty

#

it has to be your first lego you craft as assa right

dark vigil

oh yes

sullen fern

I main sub but gonna try out assa

It should be, yes

Hi everyone, kinda new on the disc, i've a question are they any strong changes on covenants/builds whatsoever with the 9.1 for assa?

candid quarry
#

Venthyr will get buffed. Still shitty soulbinds compared to NF tho

stoic needle
#

Venthyr might be good but it's not implemented in simc yet so we don't know

dark vigil
#

also venthyr will be pretty dogshit for m+ whereas korayn is goat

#

it'd have to be a lot better

placid dawn
#

how much worse are kyrian soulbinds compared to venth?

trim zinc
#

how much poeple using that trinket will make it better?? (i dont like skulkers cuz i feel thats gonna kill me everytime i use it(it happend one time))

also heraldry is more valuable more people in ur party

ive never tried sub but it just doesnt seem my style

#

plus theres no reason to

#

they're performing about the same

#

and in some fights sin is way ahead

#

but overall outlaw is best performing

cobalt leaf
#

If the change of venthyr stay like that, it will be bis for sin?

limber lion
#

Can't say yet, but most likely no. Night Fae is probably still king until they nerf something.

dark vigil
#

hard to say

cobalt leaf
#

Sad

#

Bis stats is haste crit no?

dark vigil
#

yes

cobalt leaf

I was imagine with the first soulbinds of the venthyr avec the gain of haste with the power

It would be better

for st maybe

Hey guys! New on this discord.
Was wondering if any of you knew about 9.0.5 buffs to assassination rogue. I saw multiple mention it on reddit but all I can find is Venthyr ability being buffed

is that thing any good?

worth simming or is it...mediocre

signal marsh
dark hollow
#

so last Q: are folks doing CT for m+? most guides still show PB

dark vigil
#

yes

#

guides are bad

#

only time i'd run pb in m+ is if its a really low key

#

and by really low i mean 5 or lower

oblique flare
#

ye, ct is da way

dark vigil
#

even then

#

ct is probably still better

oblique flare
#

honestly, they should just make it baseline and let us use pb

dark vigil
#

i agree

#

it would be nice

#

would be annoying to maintain 3 dots tho

oblique flare
#

yeah but with it baseline you lose less

#

plus with the snd change, it will get better regardless, but yeah, more dot management, still better than what we have though

dark vigil
#

it would perform better yea

oblique flare
#

with every PB proc, my envenoms feel so satisfying man

#

either give us PB baseline or ct, either way

and doing it on sire prog kekw

sin is actually good on sire

cause the only real "hard" thing is the execute

which sin has

Hey guys. What's the finisher logic for sin? 4-5 without DS? or always 5 or what?

gloomy fern
#

well why do u think im going sin

#

lol

strange python

When I sim my gear on a patchwerk fight, MA sims 100 dps more than Zoldycks. I thought Zoldyck was quite a lot better in pve?

gloomy fern

better for progress due to execute dont sim the highest

I'm testing out assassination and I'm getting roll the bones buffs cuz of the conduit lol

#

this is funny

dark vigil

yeah its pretty bad

#

conduit

#

but i mean better than no conduit

pliant roost
#

Fok feels really annoying to press in m+. Would like to see it given baseline 2 cp or more crit for its conduit.. can take forever to get bleeds rolling when u have to fokx3 every time..

wind totem
#

Honestly it should work like shuriken storm. I don't see why we have to crit to get the same effect sub gets

dark vigil
#

just get high enough crit :^)

wind totem
#

sure let me get some corruptions first

dark vigil
#

i think the sim profile has 31% crit and like 22% haste

royal lantern
wind totem
#

I would personaly be in favour of them reducing it in order for us to get a more reliable CP generation on multiple targets.

#

Playing sin in 8.3 was so much fun with all the crit. Being able to reliably do 4-5 cp ruptures one gcd apart was amazing

stoic needle
#

They won't do it tbh

#

Just gonna have to wait until we ||scale|| with better gear in later tiers kekw

dark vigil

he said the thing

im very interested to see the 9.1 raid loot

The only think about assassination that scales is the pacing of its gameplay with haste and crit, especially in aoe

I could switch to Dreamweaver with sub conduits for single target

That will suck for rogues

Fire mage has one that makes fire blast increase your fire damage during combust

It’s like 15% or something at 200, stacking twice

yeah

#

rogues abilites are pretty lackluster

#

i hear u to each there own 🙂 i like the vamp mog

dark vigil
#

i wish they had more that impacted the playstyle

#

kyrian does but its just

#

not fun

gleaming eagle
#

sepsis is really good

dark vigil
#

its okay

gleaming eagle
#

its ok for pve but for pvp its game changer

dark vigil
#

it works with shiv which is nice

#

but its more about the soulbind abilities

#

like i said

#

with niya/korayn

gleaming eagle
#

its one of sin biggest burst for pvp

storm onyx
#

Sepsis is big burst in pvp

dark vigil
#

yeah pve

#

im talkin

#

pvp is a diff ball game

Aside from every class but warlock I think the covenant ability for at least one cov does something notable?

Primal wave
Mind games
Spirits
Weapons of order
Warrior spear thing
Convoke
The paladin red ground shit
The nfae cdr for mages

#

i think venthyr ability needs buff

#

and necrolord

worn path
#

Rogues are just an extra stab you press and forget

dark vigil
#

venthyr ability is getting buffed pretty hard

gleaming eagle
#

oh

#

what is it?

dark vigil
#

necrolord one will work with mastery for sin next patch which will be nice

lyric crater
#

convoke needs to go or rework boomkin still one shot people

gleaming eagle
#

what venthyr get?

dark vigil
worn path
#

Flag rework

gleaming eagle
#

wow

#

thats a good buff

#

lol

dark vigil
#

they also buffed the conduit for it too

#

to 4 hits

#

instead of 2

gleaming eagle
#

i think thats great for outlaw

#

either way i think nf is the best for sin

dark vigil
#

if they nerf niya's mastery/burrs or korayn we'll see

gleaming eagle
#

mainly cause of sepsis and shiv combos well with well placed steel

#

and also since sin lack mobility

#

the blink is insane for us

dark vigil
#

i would really like necrolord to be buffed slightly since it fights sin theme

#

with the never ending dot

gleaming eagle
#

true but you wont be able to chase well going necrolord

#

with only 1 use of shadowstep

#

you need 2nd blink

dark vigil
#

even with mastery affecting it, it still wont be enough
