but its quite literally only been a couple

tropic ocean
#

do u think ppl will inspect u in 15s lol

#

they will invite u if u have decent rio and itemlevel thats it

loud silo
#

i think i've seen 2 in total

balmy condor
tropic ocean
#

pretty sure if I spec my boomer into feral they will still insta invite me on 15s

loud silo
#

:c

wind nacelle
#

Had one (surv hunt) in a raid a few weeks back, was also mauling bosses @_@

merry adder
#

gonna go craft zoldyck i think, so quick refresher, is haste and crit still the best missives on it?

tropic ocean
balmy condor
tropic ocean
#

in a vacuum world maybe

strange python
#

bless us fine blizzy let us change missives for soul ash

balmy condor
#

Missive choice won’t really impact much tbh

#

You just end up getting the stat from somewhere else

strange python
#

I think when people ask for it

#

and I'm guilty of it myself, it's cause your stat prios aren't where you want them (presently) and you just inspect your char and are like "damn I'd really like to swap that crit for haste right now"

#

etc

solid vault
#

yeah

#

i made legendarys with crit+versa

#

now i want to change it, and it feels so bad

strange python
#

FeelsBadMan o well, giving big consideration for respec to sin going into 9.1 since I'll be able to just replace all of my gear

#

without it being a massive hassle

tropic ocean
#

im kinda interested how to come up with that assassination is stronger on some boss fights over outlaw

balmy condor
hollow escarp
#

tempted to buy the boe boots and wrists now

solid vault
balmy condor
#

There is a such thing as too much haste :P

#

So tbh it’s fine

strange python
#

isnt energy regen you actually get from haste stat like actually really tiny

solid vault
tropic ocean
strange python
#

lul okay

tropic ocean
#

but then I wouldnt tell that assassination is better on some boss fights

hollow escarp
#

my current bracers have 51 haste as 213 ilvl, and 226 ones have 55 DepressedChamp

tropic ocean
#

cuz its not

strange python
#

people got spoiled by 8.3

solid vault
#

yeah

#

sins stills needs buffs

#

for sure

hollow escarp
#

shiv off gcd

tropic ocean
#

like assassination has more execute and if thats what your group lacks

#

its a good choice but that doesnt justify

solid vault
#

they not gonna mage it cause pvp

tropic ocean
#

being worse in 2 phases

#

šŸ˜„

solid vault
#

make*

tropic ocean
#

(generally)

hollow escarp
#

you can still pad in first 2 phases

#

had 10k burst dps in phase 1 happymalddent

tropic ocean
#

and outlaw will not have that?

hollow escarp
#

even more with blade rush

#

if you use it on ads

#

it does feel good to be rank 1 dps in phase 3 and top 5 overall on every kill

worldly bridge
#

Does anyone know how to config Plater to make low hp target plates glow / bigger ? I need this to get better with MFD resets

tropic ocean
#

@hollow escarp I mean its been told sin is strong in denathrius for p3 execute which is a logical idea

#

but when u look at actual kills and compare p3 dps of outlaws to sin rogues

#

not so sure anymore

hollow escarp
#

wtf, top 32 kills as outlaw are all chinese WTFF

#

well rank 1 outlaw has 100 more dps than rank 1 sin

#

in phase 3

#

but there are only 12 sin rogues that killed Sire

tropic ocean
#

i know

#

not enough data

hollow escarp
#

my biased opinion makes me believe that if a pool of 12 people can get close to the best of 270 people, sin is more valuable

tropic ocean
#

not sure if thats statistical holdable

hollow escarp
#

yeah, we should convince guilds to recruit sin rogues just to prove this theory

tropic ocean
#

dont think need to convince anyone about anything play what your roster needs

#

or what you are good with

#

just need to stop twisting logs and arguments to fit whatever smallest niche I want my spec to be in

#

like the argument that is used now to justify assassination

#

was the exact argument that was used to nullify outlaw last tier

#

šŸ˜‰

hollow escarp
#

oh well, if we look at Heroic where we have more data

#

the things are already different

#

best sin log is 300 more dps in p3 than best outlaw

tropic ocean
#

so in heroic its definetely not worth to play sin

#

and mythic is arguable

#

šŸ˜›

distant cypress
#

What ya mean, I play sin in heroic and its pog

stoic needle
#

Why would you not not play the best spec for the fight

distant cypress
tropic ocean
#

its nice

#

but its worse than outlaw

#

thats it

stoic needle
#

Except it's better than outlaw on the parts of the fight that actually matter

#

Just because outlaw is better at padding in p1 doesn't mean it's better than sin on denathrius

tropic ocean
#

better at paddin

#

outlaw is #1 boss dmg in heroic sire 2

#

but as I said, will always find a niche to fit own opinion in

#

infact if we still talk about heroic sire, if p3 matters

#

sub is good too

hollow escarp
#

every spec is good

tropic ocean
#

but outlaw still does the same p3 dmg

#

while significantly more overall so

daring pecan
#

I thought Whispyr simmed p3 damage and sin was quite ahead of outlaw monkaHmm

tropic ocean
#

yeah, sim

proper sage
#

you can't compete with execute damage

tropic ocean
#

you cant?

proper sage
#

sin does more dam in p3

#

than the other rogue specs

tropic ocean
#

and u

#

have data to back that up?

proper sage
#

so you disregard sims

#

but u want me to bring data

hollow escarp
#

well, when we talked about mythic parses "not enough data" and when we talked about HC "definetely not worth to play sin" LOLW

stoic needle
#

Huh, that's interesting

proper sage
#

and if i talk about the actual logs done on that fight with sims

tropic ocean
#

what sim

proper sage
#

im assuming

stoic needle
proper sage
#

ur just gonna

#

say its only 12 sin playters

#

yep

stoic needle
#

Says here you're wrong peepostudy

proper sage
#

kk dude

hollow escarp
#

that's why everybody needs to stop doing damage in P1, because pad damage is so important

tropic ocean
#

yeah

#

and r1 sin on mikihasa

#

did less dmg

#

than outlaw in p3

#

so

hollow escarp
#

he is not

tropic ocean
#

yes lol

strange python
#

sin rogue did 1.15mil dmg while outlaw did 1.13mil dmg

#

during p3

tropic ocean
#

yep

stoic needle
#

Sin has the highest execute damage in the game full stop come 9.0.5, and atm it's pretty much even with unholy and warrior

#

Outlaw can't touch that

tropic ocean
#

ok

#

disregard logs

#

create patchwerk execute ce boss

proper sage
#

LMAOOOOOOO

tropic ocean
#

and we good

strange python
proper sage
#

disregard sims

#

disregard logs

#

: )

tropic ocean
#

cuz 20k dmg in p3

strange python
#

always a trip watching arguments with this dude play out

vestal wren
#

outlaw has a higher variance, this could make it hard to conclude anything from wcl
keep in mind that assassination also only has ~16 logs

tropic ocean
#

justify - 1k dps

#

k

proper sage
#

hey guys outlaw does more damage than sin in p3 here look at these heroic logs 43 months into a tier

tropic ocean
#

didnt bring in heroic logs

#

just answered but sure

proper sage
#

do ui actually have brain damage

tropic ocean
#

yeah scroll up

proper sage
#

or

tropic ocean
#

I just responded

proper sage
#

do you just like to troll

tropic ocean
#

to kojack

#

but w/e

hollow escarp
vestal wren
#

best bet is probably to look at those players who brought assassination and compare it to the damage in the log they did before

tropic ocean
#

but if u cant follow a conversation better start insulting

vestal wren
#

bc. that could make a argument that switching could make sense for either consistency or output

hollow escarp
#

well, I only killed sire hc as outlaw once

gusty kestrel
#

ausgelebt speak

#

i sleep

hollow escarp
#

since I started playing sin I can't go back

outer lotus
stoic needle
#

Sin has more boss damage in heroic and mythic, what are you even saying

hollow escarp
#

tbf, the argument was only about execute initially

tropic ocean
#

@stoic needle ????

#

more BOSS dmg?

stoic needle
#

Yes

normal mist
stoic needle
#

Do I have to link the screenshots again

tropic ocean
#

so u take avg

#

?

vestal wren
#

the extrema is higher

tropic ocean
#

xd

#

3 digit log avg is worse than 2 digit log avg

#

ok

vestal wren
#

outlaw has a higher variance, this could make it hard to conclude anything from wcl
keep in mind that assassination also only has ~16 logs
^ consider this

#

i would neither conclude that assassination is the best pick nor that its not a great pick from only the #1 log of both

hollow escarp
strange python
#

wtf are you doing

#

LOL

#

Even tho Doomblade will be mvp for ST/raid coming 9.0.5 i guess Zoldyck will stay the go-to leggo for m+ correct?

tropic ocean
#

y

tender fjord
#

Those r4’s are too darn expensive to not make sure šŸ˜…

tropic ocean
#

the gold cost?

hollow escarp
#

yeah, all leather and mail are expensive because of callous hide price

reef axle
#

Thinking zolds prob still be go to for raid too honestly.

tropic ocean
#

probably yeah

#

theres not many pure st fights

#

but luckily u can switch betweem them so good to have both

frozen jasper
#

Iā€˜m just happy there is an alternative to try out even tho zold remains high in value for both raid and m+

tropic ocean
#

i try to just see it as a bonus rather than a competitor

#

it will complement my zoldyck for st fights

#

basically

onyx wind
#

Is this the changes from last build or from live?

sturdy shale
#

the title says 9.0.5 PTR

onyx wind
#

yes

celest ruin
#

Whats this outlaw vs sin on sire stuff

onyx wind
#

Surely this must be changes from last build

daring pecan

it's changes from last build

The note says Scoundrel best ST leggo but everyone going Zold on logs

spice spire
late birch
#

Ah makes sense

loud niche
#

did they increase flag dmg again?

primal zinc
#

im checking exeos post

#

and i dont see the flag dmg increase for ssins

steep current

Is there any information about 9.0.5 release date?

Can rogues immune night hunter in phase 1 denathrius any way via cloak or evasion?

# primal zinc dunno its says removed..dunno whats the new flag

Rogue
Covenant Abilities
Flagellation (Venthyr) no longer costs Energy (was 20 Energy), duration reduced to 12 seconds (was 20 seconds), Haste is now granted immediately, and no longer has a second activation. Flagellation’s initial damage increased by 270%, additional damage from spending combo points increased by 160%, and deals damage 1 time upon use (was 3).
Conduits
Lashing Scars (Venthyr) now causes 4 additional lashes (was 2). This will allow the Rogue to start at 5% Haste upon activation.

onyx wind
#

Yo bros, what stats do i put on my zoldyck?

tropic ocean
#

the one that are best for your character

onyx wind
#

Id rather put the best scaling stats on there

#

since stat weights are dynamic

spice spire
#

I got great news for you

#

Haste and not-mastery is the blanket answer though

onyx wind
#

Alright, thanks

sturdy shale
#

haste vers is a safe bet if you gonna do any pvp

spice spire
#

Zoldyck isn’t PVP though lol

primal zinc
#

doomblade with inferanl bleeding for pvp? or MA with nightstalker for pvp?

limber lion
#

My cheese opener that I came up with yesterday worked wonders on HC Shriek

#

Got r1 log at 7.3k dps. Rank 2 is 6.5k

spice spire
#

How’d you cheese?

#

Also mord, that’s a #pvp question, unfortunately 😦

primal zinc
#

i know jsut asking mate

spice spire
#

I actually didn’t know 😦 a lot of assassination players in here are pve mainly. If I had the answer I’d give šŸ˜…

#

I’d think MA/Nightstalker but I don’t wanna spread misinformation because something in a build can change pretty rapidly if x is found to be better

primal zinc
#

duration 1:50

limber lion
#

MFD 28s, Memory 15s, SnD 2s

primal zinc
#

at 1:50 im at the same dps with venthyr

limber lion
#

The top 4 logs are all 1:50

#

So, no. You wouldn't.

primal zinc
#

yes cos we kill it at 4 mins

#

xD

spice spire
#

That’s very interesting. At 1:50, yeah we’ll definitely see an uptick. But you weren’t kidding about the cheese. The MfD double envenom is monkascheme

limber lion
#

Triple envenom in MA window :'')

spice spire
#

Did you shiv too?

#

The holy trinity

limber lion
#

Yep

spice spire
#

prayge blessed burst window

#

40k burst LMAO

limber lion
#

It's so fucking nice

#

I was literally #1 dps on the opener. Boomies can suck it

#

:^^)

edgy notch
#

zoldyck on legs was with crit and haste for pve right?

spice spire
#

That works

outer cosmos
#

yo guys, which weapon enchant on MH and OH for Raiding?

#

does it make a difference with sinful on offhand or mainhand?

drifting cloud
#

it doesnt

outer cosmos
#

and the other weapon enchant should be?

glacial cove
#

Greetings all. First time chatting here. I dont know if I'm reading warcraft logs stats correctly but

#

Is assa on par or outperforming sub now in raids?

#

At least in heroic nathria

onyx wind
#

Afaik it is slightly worse, but it will get buffed in 9.0.5

glacial cove
#

I see. Ok ok.

clever niche
#

well, I'm back to assasination guys!

strange python
#

Whatever for?!

clever niche
#

i like it better than sub

#

i feel that should be the bar to meet

strange python
#

Gotcha

graceful creek
#

and now Disney+ has Star, so another reason to switch to Assassination I guess

We’re no longer a Netflix spec, we’re a Disney plus spec ComfyBear

frozen jasper
normal mist
#

Was I the only one that felt that pre SL assa rogue was actually pretty smooth and somewhat fast (also playing blindside)?

spice spire
#

Like prepatch? It would be, you were higher geared - to tier. So you had 40ish% haste and higher stats overall. It’s the first xpac and it’s infinitely faster than the start of most expansions

drifting cloud
#

lucid dreams was a big difference and I didnt even run blindside in prepatch

normal mist
#

Lucid was MAJOOOOR for us

#

I was also playing BotE

#

Haste everywhere

drifting cloud
#

oh yeah the minor ofc, lucid major hasnt really been played

#

outside of few weeks start of EP

primal zinc
#

does any1 has ptr sims for assassins as night fae and ssins with venthyr?

spice spire
#

It’s in the pins, but could be incorrect as of now. As flagellation might have changed?

drifting cloud
#

should be uptodate rn

normal mist
#

Not me. I'm kinda glad I moved from venth to nfae 2 weeks ago. Which means that if venthyr has a huge upgrade I can just go back at 31 renown already

primal zinc
gleaming eagle
#

doom blade is better for pvp

#

for that nasty envenoms

#

but for raiding and m+ you go zold cause in m+ you will be going crimson tempest

#

and that means less time to do envenoms

onyx wind
maiden zodiac
#

does serrated bone spike count as a dot for doomblade?

normal mist
#

Isn't it a "fill the bar" quest twice (1 each week)? For 2 weeks?

onyx wind
#

Does nightstalker not work with ambush?

dull fulcrum
#

!race

normal mist
#

Pretty sure it works with anything that deals dmg

onyx wind
#

Yea but it might be a bug

#

It hits for 3k and it should hit for 4.5k with nightstalker

normal mist
#

But there is no reason to go nightstalker in the first place, is there? peeposhrug

gusty mirage
normal mist
#

Exactly. If someone has enough time, he/she can just reach max level with all the covenents pretty fast xD

spice spire
#

Nightstalker is used in PvP isn’t it?

onyx wind
#

Wanted to try out some nightstalker rupture build

#

exsang

#

like the old days

dull fulcrum
#

!guide

normal mist
#

Even in pvp I believe that subter is better

#

Or atleast easier to play around

spice spire
#

You need a GIGA amount of haste for exsang to be good. Like currently unobtainable levels of haste

daring pecan
onyx wind
#

Does garrote not work with nightstalker either?

#

It does, just the tooltip not updating

#

Thats so weird XD

ocean drum
#

how comes bloodmallet says zoldyck is #5 in ST but it's used that much? and is the 30% buff to bloodfang a thing?

normal mist
onyx wind
#

Testing out some stuff on dummies

normal mist
onyx wind
#

Why does ambush deal so little dmg compared to tooltip?

obtuse ruin
#

when people here saying assa is viable now im assuming its for raids? because no way its decent in m+

tender fjord
#

Define decent. You can certainly do high keys

obtuse ruin
#

well viable as in better spec than the other 2 (OL/sub)

#

im sure it cant keep up with meta classes but amongst rogues

normal mist
#

Assa might be better than sub and loses to outlaw

tender fjord
#

If you are good at playing outlaw and enjoy it I agree you should play outlaw in m+

strange python
#

Dumb question, but how can I get a higher Well-Placed Steel? Still rocking a 200. Gamble with Venari?

onyx wind
#

Mutilate says 1338 tooltip, deals 1.1k
Ambush says 3k tooltip, deals 2k

#

Can someone explain this

obtuse ruin
#

nah I can never play outlaw

onyx wind
#

Is ambush bugged or smth

obtuse ruin
#

pretty tired of seeing outlaw as the go to M+ spec for rogue for last 3 years lol

halcyon grail
#

3 years? Bro it's been since legion.

#

That's.. 3 expansions

normal mist
#

I believe outlaw is the "go" if you want to do more than 15+

onyx wind
#

Sub is perfectly fine for high keys

tender fjord
#

I manually log my overall dps per dungeon in a spreadsheet. I do way better as assa, I hate outlaw, think sub is boring. I switched and enjoy it a lot

normal mist
#

Because you can easily do all +15 as adsa

ocean drum
#

ty!

onyx wind
#

But i still dont understand the ambush thing

#

Can someone explain?

tender fjord
#

But tbh you can play anything you want. Maybe if you want to go 20+ keys you have to go outlaw. But if that’s the case you wouldn’t have asked here

obtuse ruin
#

@tender fjord theoretically thats true but after all it just sucks to always be third dps

#

not talking about assa but rogues in general

tender fjord
#

Then you have to reroll class I think if you’re only playing with top meta classes

#

I’m third dps usually but my group says they love me for the cc and silences

split veldt
#

so fae is still bis, eh?

late bolt
onyx wind
#

Yea but why is the amount reduced higher for ambush than mutilate

#

Like a lot higher

late birch
#

!ss

#

!ws

#

what is opener command again?

normal mist
#

As assa my boss dmg is pretty good and my overalls are amazing aswell

onyx wind
#

Mutilate dmg is reduced by 15% and ambush dmg is reduced by 33%

normal mist
#

But altought I don't enjoy outlaw that much, I can get better numbers at it

spice spire
onyx wind
#

Is this a bug?

late birch
#

MA and Zold

spice spire
#

Go on with normalcy after

onyx wind
#

wouldnt u do mutilate-> garrote-> rupture

split veldt
#

i go MA single target and subter multi target

onyx wind
#

efter SnD i mean

split veldt
ocean drum
#

i really don't understand why subterfuge is competitive or even better than MA in Single Target. like.. i did when we had the garrote azerite trait, but now?

#

is it due to ambush?

split veldt
#

i only use subter on multi target fights

spice spire
#

You can, it depends on what crit procs happen. If it goes 4, it’s safe to rupture

#

Subterfuge still gives garrote a bump up in damage, it’s just not as extreme

onyx wind
#

Sure its "safe" to rupture, but wouldnt u always want to use garrote

split veldt
#

yeah but when you can garrote 4 adds it's pretty good

spice spire
#

Not necessarily.

onyx wind
#

Why is it worse

spice spire
#

100% on any cleave/multi target fight subterfuge feels better.

onyx wind
#

Lets say you have 4cp after mutilating, why would u not use garrote before rupturing?

#

I mean in opener

strange python
#

I personally always try to refresh garrote in that scenario

#

Minus opener

spice spire
#

Also I didn’t say it was worse I just said not necessarily. You might want to save the GCD to get into your burst window sooner.

onyx wind
#

You dont save any GCD's

#

you garrote anyway

#

You just cast rupture 1 global later

#

You dont lose any energy either

#

And you have to refresh garrote in vendetta either way aswell

spice spire
#

Which offsets the time your burst window starts by one GCD. because you’ll garrote anyway, you can stack it to go toward the envenom with a refresher later down the line

onyx wind
#

So you dont garrote before vendetta?

spice spire
#

Rupture refresher sooner, but after the big burst window on the initial vendetta. I usually garrote before vendetta.

onyx wind
#

In the opener i mean

#

Dont you want to use it before vendetta to get max energy ?

spice spire
#

Yes, you can still garrote before vendetta. The second you pop rupture, you don’t have to immediately pop vendetta lol.

worn path
#

You just want all your bleeds up for the vendetta window

#

No big rush to press it

onyx wind
#

Your argument was that u save a GCD before entering vendetta

worn path
#

It’s not like bfa when it was all about insane haste and getting a full exang bleed out during vandetta

onyx wind
#

now ur saying u use it before vendetta anyway

#

im confused

spice spire
#

Because you want to vendetta right before you start the envenom train, right? So by offsetting that rupture by one, you’re starting later. You can then after rupture do a Garrote > mut> shiv > vendetta/trinket/pot/whatever you need here>envenom

onyx wind
#

So basically its valuing getting a 5cp eviscerate off in vendetta higher than 5cp rupture before vendetta

#

But its still a gamble nonetheless

spice spire
#

Correct.

onyx wind
#

Since you might reach 5cp without garrote

#

And since ur using it before mutilate/shiv theres no actualy benefit

#

I mean there is but

#

You might also waste CP

spice spire
#

That’s why I said not necessarily, because it’s not necessarily right or wrong depending on the situation and how it unfolds

onyx wind
#

Sure but thats why im asking specific scenarios

worn path
#

Opener only really matters that you have all your bleeds up for the full duration of vandetta, with a shiv window and two + envenoms during it

onyx wind
#

I guess since im kyrian i should do Mut>SnD>Mut>Garrote>Rup>Mut>Kyrian>Shiv>burst

#

Might be worth saving kyrian for vanish window

#

Not sure

spice spire
#

That’s also a good point. I’ve not worked with the kyrian Ability so I can’t really say if that’s better for the vanish window. I know sepsis is kinda whatever for MA

limber lion
worn path
onyx wind
#

Sure, nice sparring with you @spice spire

#

But seriously, am i insane or is ambush dmg/tooltip bugged

spice spire
#

It might be. It should just be 95% AP. So tip could be bugged?

onyx wind
#

It states 2.9k dmg in tooltip, it deals 2k dmg on dummy

spice spire
#

Also it was a good exercise for showing logic on why I do something. It was introspective, it was a nice time.

onyx wind
#

Mutilate states 1338 and deals ~1.1k on dummy

#

So it cant be armor

strange python
#

They are stacking vers

onyx wind
#

Wdym

#

am i missing smth

normal mist
#

Does mut have the 2 part in the recount? (Both dagger hits)?

onyx wind
#

Yea

normal mist
#

And you are calculating the both hits and still have those low numbers?

onyx wind
#

Yes i am calculating both hits

normal mist
#

Weird

onyx wind
#

Either mutilate is doing 15% more dmg than it should

#

or ambush is doing 15% less dmg than it should

#

or the tooltips are bugged i guess

normal mist
#

Which might be the case

#

Can't really test it myself since I'm at work

onyx wind
#

Yea looks like ambush tooltip is just bugged

#

Prob a lot of small bugs that didnt get fixed cause noone played the spec XD

#

should i re-craft DS on boots or just roll with the 190 cloak I have it on right now.....man why did I even do that

You have Zoldycks with Haste/Crit??

mint hinge
#

Are we talking about understatements? :D

gentle gyro
#

I do

kind veldt
#

It’s not hard to get IO, must peoole won’t inspect your spec till it’s too late to kick you

#

Lol

#

Most*

#

So if you already have a decent IO, they are going to invite you

gentle gyro
#

i can hold my own and i don't worry about getting invites, main is 1.4k score

vocal sierra
#

Because the Stats are changing in m+ from what ive seen on icy veins

#

Going for Haste as worst Stat

sand ridge
#

best covanant for pvp?

gentle gyro
#

i primarily raid with my rogue

onyx wind
#

What are u assa rogues pulling in overall in m+?

#

Lets say DoS or some dungeon with AoE

vocal sierra
#

Well i asked whats the best leg in m+

#

Not Raids

mint hinge
#

Zoldyck

#

Gains more value the higher the key

#

I'm doing ~5k overall

#

Depending on other dps

#

Pulls and stuff

onyx wind
#

Fortified or tyrannical

mint hinge
#

Both, doesn't really matter

gentle gyro
#

i also do ~5k overall in my keys

#

around 10s

vocal sierra
#

Do you think the SnD Change will be a Buff or Nerf?

mint hinge
#

Buff

#

Especially since we are getting more energy regen from passive

vocal sierra
#

And will Haste become will less Valuable?

gentle gyro
#

buff definitely

onyx wind
#

Whats ur opener on an AoE pack as assa?

bleak sedge
#

by the way when my sepsis procs what ability do i use? Ambush? or do i ingore it and mutilate

onyx wind
#

Playing CT and MFD

bleak sedge
onyx wind
#

Both :3

limber lion
#

I got rank 1 parses on heroic and someone said "you'll be rank 1 when there's just 1 person playing the spec."

#

😢

#

We need more poisonbleed boys

onyx wind
#

tbf i went in hc to test out assa

#

got a 99% parse

limber lion
#

Exterminate the Outlaw's

onyx wind
#

its kinda funny XD

bleak sedge
#

with subt its probably:
garrote on 3 targets then fan and CT
then mfd and rupture before you continue with fan into rupture onto other targets

limber lion
#

Honestly if you have a good group and decent gear, you'll be parsing pretty well.

bleak sedge
#

with MA no idea

limber lion
#

You don't wanna run MA in aoe.

onyx wind
#

Do you ever refresh garrote in AoE?

spice spire
#

With MA it’s probably fan > CT > Fan > rupture everyone up with your normal stuff.

#

But I don’t think MA is the play

bleak sedge
#

yes use on all targets and refresh

worn path
#

Lmao wtf did you zero phase the boss? @limber lion

bleak sedge
#

but im no expert so take it with a grain of salt šŸ˜„

spice spire
#

You’d vanish refresh or refresh as it came up. But I don’t think many packs will be living unless you GIGA pull or are in 16/17s. I also pull 4.1-5.2k in M+, it really depends on how long the packs survive

limber lion
onyx wind
#

I do 6-7k as sub in m+

limber lion
#

I also used the opener that I came up with yesterday which uses double on-use trinkets, MA lege, Nightstalker, EP and MFD.

onyx wind
#

Plus we have prio dmg for prides

limber lion
#

It's very cheesy and not recommended for most situations xd

worn path
onyx wind
#

I got r1 first few weeks doing MA cheese aswell

#

with double on use

limber lion
#

Yeah and because the fight is so short. Don't get much value out of Zoldy anyways

#

Just need to pummel as much damage as you can on the first Vendetta

onyx wind
#

You prepop memories

#

20sec pulltimer :3

limber lion
#

Exactly

#

I used 30s pulltimer and used MFD at 28s, Memory at 15s, SnD at 3s

#

Doesn't really work with pugs because most of them don't want to sit 30s for a pull lmao

#

Unless of course if you're leading, like I was.

onyx wind
#

Was a lot better before they fixed memories

limber lion
#

I like the build, it works really well on short, pure ST encounters.

#

Got a rank 1 on HD with it as well.

#

I'm just happy that I'll be above Peen tomorrow on HC leaderboards.

onyx wind
#

Dw fotm rerollers are coming for ur parses

limber lion
#

Won't ever happen on Mythic though because we're fully extending until Sire dies, which is in like a month or so. So rip

limber lion
spice spire
#

You really hit ā€˜em with the 190 master assassin

limber lion
#

I legit hope that more players would play Assa

#

So we wouldn't get flamed every single time

onyx wind
#

I got r1 aswell with 190 MA

#

but that was dec 13th

#

and as sub

limber lion
#

I'm getting benched for Generals because I play Assa and don't have Outlaw gear.

#

rip

dark vigil
#

tell em to suck your nuts

worn path
#

Sins good for generals?

onyx wind
#

Judging by the way sin plays, its prob one of the worst specs for generals

spice spire
#

Tell them your cleave is GIGA kekw

onyx wind
#

in the game

limber lion
#

Sin is awesome, I'm top 3 damage. Especially for execute phase, I'd probably be #1.

#

BUT

#

Sin doesn't have any upfront damage to deal with the shields that happen

dark vigil
#

execute is pretty nice for generals

#

but yea

limber lion
#

You need to kill the add shields before they explode

worn path
#

I mean neither does outlaw

limber lion
#

And we just don't have that insta-burst

#

I know right.

#

But that's what they think

onyx wind
#

Outlaw has some cleave

limber lion
#

They're taking 2 DH's instead. 😢

spice spire
onyx wind
#

but i honestly think MA sub is better

limber lion
#

Yeah MA sub is kinda crazy for that kind of thing

#

Vanish > BP > SS > BP > SS > BP is huge

#

Or play Sectec and add that in there

onyx wind
#

U would prob play sectec too yea

limber lion
#

Or Shuriken Tornado and do ST > Vanish > BP > BP > BP > BP

dark vigil
#

imagine playing sub tho

limber lion
#

You can say that again

gentle gyro
#

was fun in pvp

#

for the first two weeks

onyx wind
#

what is night fae ability CD?

limber lion
#

Yeah, I played it up to the latest Assa patch. It was decent in the beginning

dark vigil
#

1 min 30

spice spire
#

1.5 minutes if it expires

#

1 minute if you kill before it expires

onyx wind
#

Boring

dark vigil
#

its good tho

onyx wind
#

Sure its a lot better than other options but

#

Its so unfun

#

compared to kyrian

dark vigil
#

i dont think kyrian is fun at all

#

its annoying to play with

onyx wind
#

really

#

You just naturally proc it most the time

dark vigil
#

yes because you have random cp generations

onyx wind
#

You dont ever have to "try"

#

especially as assa

dark vigil
#

when i played kyrian there were times where my kyrian cd came up again before i got to use the animacharge

#

because i kept getting weird number of cp

spice spire
#

Soulbinds sold me on NF.

onyx wind
#

Theres no way that happens

#

U mustve missed a cast or smth

#

Its 2-4 cp

#

So u have to hit one single mutilate for that amount

#

during 45sec

#

XD

dark vigil
#

and with burrs im pretty sure nf is better for sub anyways

onyx wind
#

Or fill in with garrote

spice spire
#

Seal fate kekw

dark vigil
#

seal fate makes kyrian ability really weird

#

for sin

#

you can get 2 3 or 4 cp from mutiliate

onyx wind
#

I dont think u actually play burrs

dark vigil
#

for sub? im pretty sure u do

#

yea

#

you do

#

burrs is stronger than any of your conduits

#

you'd go planned execution and burrs

#

why we talkin about sub anyways

onyx wind
#

planned exe + burrs is 15th combination on herodamage

#

cant sim it myself cause im kyrian

dark vigil
#

?

onyx wind
#

Look at the max ilvl of stiletto sim

dark vigil
#

yes

#

it gud

#

but it doesnt do as much as burrs

#

according to this

onyx wind
#

But you get poison instead

#

And an extra potency

#

dont u?

dark vigil
#

you.. like

#

will never get use of niya poison during a raid

#

lol

onyx wind
#

Oh, thats useless i see

#

Also, stiletto sims look so fucked

dark vigil
#

its only simming it if you could proc it

#

it's exponential

onyx wind
#

It sims lower the higher ilvl u get

#

XD

dark vigil
#

yeah that doesnt make sense

#

but if you were to follow the trend it'd be like a 3% boost at 226

#

which is still lower than burrs

onyx wind
#

Yea i suppose the poisons thing is a simtrap

dark vigil
#

but if it can make shadowblades have an impactful cd reduction for certain mechanics or phases

onyx wind
#

didnt actually look at the abilities themselves

tribal marlin
#

It's because of syncing issue

dark vigil
#

then it'd be good

tribal marlin
#

there is a quick fix you can do by just syncing SB with Symbols

#

every 2mn

onyx wind
#

in the API u mean?

tribal marlin
#

yeah

onyx wind
#

Dont u get to ~1:50 with 226 stiletto

tribal marlin
#

something like this yeah

dark vigil
#

so no point then because you'd want them to sync anyways

#

if its within 10 sec

onyx wind
#

You get them in sync

#

You get full value of symbols if u pop it at 1:50

tribal marlin
#

with higher / empowered conduit

#

you might be able to sync it with Seps/Flag every 1:30

onyx wind
#

since SB lasts 20sec

dark vigil
#

regardless

#

playting sub PepePoint

onyx wind
#

Its still better until 9.0.5 B)

dark vigil
#

even right now

onyx wind
#

Tried a HC huntsman with assa tho

#

zoldyck etc

#

was banging

dark vigil
#

and then if i sort it by damage to bosses

#

oh no no no PepeLaugh

limber lion
dark vigil
#

why is imgur embed so fucked lately

onyx wind
#

Sure assa does dmg its just

#

I feel like most fights are designed for either outlaw or sub to be better by design

#

maybe outside of denathrius

dark vigil
#

i mean

#

boss dmg is more important than anything

onyx wind
#

Its important, but its also a skewed statistic

dark vigil
#

uh

tender fjord
#

Anyone here had any experience with the shadowgrasp totem trinket?

onyx wind
#

Yep it sucks

#

Compared to raid trinkets atleast

#

@dark vigil Look at the individual fights, and check dmg to bosses

tender fjord
#

First time I took the trouble of getting all my m+ vault slots to 226 and all three options suck ass 😦

dark vigil
#

lol

onyx wind
#

its just carried by 2x stone legio parses XD

#

and sub is held back by it

#

if u look at individual fights, sub never loses to assa

dark vigil
#

uhh

onyx wind
#

Stone legion

#

And the way the overall statistics are weighted, this will skew it massively

#

same thing that happened to feral

dark vigil
#

far ahead on council, far ahead on huntmsna, far ahead on denathrius,

#

ahead on xymox

#

ahead on hungering

onyx wind
#

what are u sorting by

dark vigil
#

damage to bosses

#

lol

onyx wind
#

95 or 99

dark vigil
#

95

#

99 parses are skewed by pi and shit

onyx wind
#

Go 99

dark vigil
#

no

onyx wind
#

Nah rogues dont get PI

dark vigil
#

you wanna check 95 and 75

#

they don't but people who pad for logs do

onyx wind
#

I legit went and checked top10 on all bosses some time ago

dark vigil
#

should never sort by 99 parses cause of shenanigans

onyx wind
#

only 1-2 of those got PI

#

sub atleast

#

But yea its better on hunstman for sure

solar hare
#

Sub getting pi weird

onyx wind
#

and better on denathrius for sure, cause execute

dark vigil
solar hare
#

Actually the worst class in the game to put pi on

#

Spec*

onyx wind
#

Yep

dark vigil
#

feral is pretty trash with pi

bleak sedge
onyx wind
#

ye its pretty much tailored for assa

solar hare
dark vigil
#

@limber lion show him the sin stats for dmg to bosses on mythic generals

#

and he'll unbench you

tribal marlin
#

I did some sims to compare to that guy's sheet, if you add the Seps/Vend sync (and Seps at all actually) Rogue is ~420 on parse with other top target

solar hare
tribal marlin
#

It's still better on Hunter

solar hare
#

Its also like

tribal marlin
#

and miles away better on UH during Army

solar hare
#

Absolutely insane on demo

#

But the person that wrote the demo api

dark vigil
#

yeah

solar hare
#

Is like

dark vigil
#

unholy with army is insane on pi

solar hare
#

Really bad and outdated

onyx wind
#

Pretty sure it isnt calculated with covenants

solar hare
#

My friend is a top demo lock and literally cant sim because the api plays the class wrong OMEGALUL

slow marsh
#

I have a lock in my guild that just swapped to demo. He pumps so hard I don't understand

solar hare
#

Demo is underrated sleeper

#

If you know how to play it

dark vigil
#

you gotta go the hp build

#

also

solar hare
#

Its insane

drifting cloud
#

its really not, its just not bad

dark vigil
#

theres no point in playing it when affi exists

drifting cloud
#

you can say the same thing for 10 other specs

solar hare
#

Yeah obvi

dark vigil
#

sadly

slow marsh
#

I mean we are in sin channel and outlaw exists

dark vigil
#

yeah but sin has a niche that outlaw doesnt have

#

demo doesnt do anything special really other than faster target switching

onyx wind
#

There is no best rogue spec

dark vigil
#

which isnt even a niche

onyx wind
#

They have niches they fill

#

It depends on the fight

#

Prob not gonna be worth playing sub at all tho if assa gets buffed

solar hare
#

Until 9.0.5 demo cant swap targets

#

Pets dont swap targets

#

Its really bad

dark vigil
#

theres really no point in playing sub now

#

it needs buffs

onyx wind
#

Its good on a lot of fights

solar hare
#

Subs pretty strong on council

#

And sunking

onyx wind
#

^

dark vigil
#

sin is very far ahead on council

slow marsh
#

Oof I'm sorry I mean destroy xD

dark vigil
#

sun king is a meme

drifting cloud
#

do you even raid mythic

solar hare
#

I mean

#

Objectively

slow marsh
#

Destro lock pumps hard

onyx wind
#

Outlaw does high boss damage while also cleaving

dark vigil
#

yeah outlaw is great

onyx wind
#

Sub has good prio and AoE burst

slow marsh
#

Outlaw is good not great

onyx wind
#

Assa has execute and good cleave

slow marsh
#

DK is great

onyx wind
#

But buffing assa to overtake sub on pure ST is kinda dumb

gusty mirage
onyx wind
#

Theyre not garbage either

slow marsh
gusty mirage
#

Yeah but we bring nothing to raid except for our damage

#

So

#

And I guess shroud to let DKs destroy us on the meters faster omegalul

onyx wind
#

XD

gusty mirage
#

We started mythic prog with 3 rogues, I’m the only one left standing SucksMan

onyx wind
#

Yea theres kinda no reason to play rogues in raids

dark vigil
#

clout

onyx wind
#

But i think thats just some other classes being broken

#

and not us being bad per se

dark vigil
#

oh yeah for sure

#

classes with utility and raid utility should be doing less dmg to compensate for that

#

and classes with no utility should be at the top

onyx wind
#

I dont think so honestly

slow marsh
#

Yeah I mean DH is actually bad but even they get a spot if you don't have a vengeance tank

dark vigil
#

buit blizzard doesnt balance that way

onyx wind
#

You want to play DK and you want to pump

#

I dont think you should inherently do less dmg

dark vigil
#

you should

#

with what they offer

onyx wind
#

Just nerf their utility instead

dark vigil
#

thats one way to go about it

#

but kind of a bad way

#

the idea in a perfect world is if your healers are goated and you don't need the raid utility as much to squeeze out extra dmg

#

you take a big pumping spec that doesnt have utility

#

to potentially skip some mechanics or phase faster

onyx wind
#

sure, but i dont think UH DK in any way should be a support class

dark vigil
#

but blizzard doesnt balance specs that way

onyx wind
#

i dont think anyone wants that

dark vigil
#

they kinda already fell down to that though

slow marsh
#

It has nothing to do with UH

dark vigil
#

their overall dmg has suffered as ilvls have increased

slow marsh
#

It's DK in general with ams amz

dark vigil
#

but yeah it broadens to more than just dk

slow marsh
#

Is really good this tier

onyx wind
#

Sure but UH also deals damage

#

thats why its a problem

dry shadow
#

hey, which piece should i go for for leg? shoulders or hands?

dark vigil
#

it does middle of the pack damage

#

but still insane

slow marsh
#

Uhhhh

dark vigil
#

because of the utilty

onyx wind
#

@dry shadow depends on whether u will ever kill generals

#

on mythic

dry shadow
#

wdym

dark vigil
dry shadow
#

i prob wont

slow marsh
#

UH is firmly the top melee damage and slightly gets beat by frost

onyx wind
#

then its better ons houlders

#

for more stats

dark vigil
#

yeah ww unholy and frost dk are the king of melee right now

#

well, feral too i suppose but it doesnt bring anything

#

kinda falls in the same problem of rogues right now

#

but it does way more dmg

dry shadow
#

thanks

onyx wind
#

you forgot warrior

slow marsh
#

I mean feral owlweave is the way to go and it's top druid spec in general

dark vigil
#

warrior is pretty meh right now

onyx wind
#

Not if you count their raid utility

dark vigil
#

they've gotten better

slow marsh
#

Warrior is better than rogue

dark vigil
#

yea

onyx wind
#

which you should, according to you XD

dark vigil
#

they are

#

im talking about pure dmg though

#

unholy ww and frost dk are the top of dmg and they also bring raid utility

#

which shouldnt be the case

#

they should be along the lines of where warriors are right now

onyx wind
#

why is frost good

#

cleave or?

dark vigil
#

yeah

#

with kyrian frost is simming better than unholy now even on ST

#

with breath too

#

so it has insane aoe

#

and st

slow marsh
#

True but that's using bos

dark vigil
#

BoS is simming better than obliterate or icecap for st for some reason

slow marsh
#

Because technically it is better

dark vigil
#

and then if you include that it's better on st. it's bonkers on aoe

slow marsh
#

You can get 20-25 second bos

#

But mechanics

dark vigil
#

it's insane on generals

#

just not many people have played iut

#

on public logs anyways

#

watched some streams of ppl playing frost on reclears

#

from limit and stuff

#

frost was pumping hard

#

mage and dk

slow marsh
#

Yeah I mean reclears are pointless though

gentle gyro
#

i had to doublecheck in which discord I am right now

rough scaffold
#

FUCK. guys. i need hlp. I want to pvp - DO i wait a week and upgade MA to 235 or do I build the 190 doomblade? I want to do twos

slow marsh
dark vigil
#

upgrade ma

#

wrong channel tho

rough scaffold
#

Oh ty didnt know

gentle gyro
#

dk has cloak but with half the cd and is basically mandatory for xymox

onyx wind
#

gonna play assa on reclear today and compare to sub

gentle gyro
#
  • deals more damage
#

aka no reason to bring rogue

dark vigil
#

doesnt deal more damage now but

#

it doesnt matter

#

its worth the damage tradeoff

marble bear
#

Pretty sure assasin is so low on the logs because....it has barely any data

dark vigil
#

sin is pretty high on logs actually for most fights

onyx wind
#

That can also make them high on the logs

#

It can go both ways

marble bear
#

sin fun though

onyx wind
#

Just go assa so u have a chance at getting PI šŸ˜Ž

dull cloak
dark vigil
#

this rn is state of "damage to bosses" at 95th percentile

#

its a little skewed, sin prob clsoer to unholy

#

but no point in bringing it over unholy

onyx wind
#

Its insanely skewed wdym

#

Exclude generals and sin falls far down the list

dark vigil
slow marsh
#

There's adds on more than half the raid

dark vigil
#

boss damage is the most important

#

but yes

slow marsh
#

Uh....

onyx wind
#

What does aggregate using normalized scores mean

slow marsh
#

What are you on mythic?

opaque sparrow
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
dull cloak
#

why would excluding generals help on boss damage data lmao

onyx wind
#

because 2 assa rogues were allowed to tunnel boss

#

XD

dark vigil
#

damage to bosses is what clears fights more than anything, only exception probably is generals where boss dmg is pretty non important

#

since goliath and skirmisher pushing is whats gonna fuck you

slow marsh
#

K I have to take a break you two are making my head hurt

covert stratus
#

is it even worth to craft a 190 lego, replacing a 226?

dark vigil
#

no

#

unless if it were broken

#

and outweighed the stat and secondary

covert stratus
#

right. so I'm better off just using MA as assa?

dark vigil
#

for now

#

its good

#

eya

#

just wait til you get like 210 or 225 zoldyck

covert stratus
#

right thanks a lot ā¤ļø

dark vigil
#

ma isnt terrible in raids or keys

#

but yea

covert stratus
#

I could use finality 235 ;P

#

nightstalker vendetta empowered rupture ftw?

stoic needle
covert stratus
#

ikr

dark vigil
onyx wind
#

Wish rupture actually did dmg

dark vigil
#

yeah

#

it feels more like

#

energy regen with a little bit extra dmg

#

and garrote feels like dmg with some energy regen

#

if that makes sense

stoic needle
#

Idk about y'all but rupture is usually my 4th highest damage

dark vigil
#

it should be closer to garrote imo

#

should be like third or second

#

make my rupture do 50k dmg per second PeepoRiot

past jolt
#

Hi there, Zoldyck is better with leg than feet right ?

dark vigil
#

yes

past jolt
#

thanks

stoic needle
#

With cttc we will get even more envenom dmg which is nice

#

5% more aura buff pls blizzard kekw

gentle gyro
#

parses at 95th percentile are so useless

#

it's not even worth considering

dark vigil
#

95th and 75th

onyx wind
#

^

dark vigil
#

to getr an idea of how a spec is performing

#

within a margin of error

onyx wind
#

Not how a spec is performing, how the players are performing

gentle gyro
#

people get fed multiple PIs, either ignore adds completely OR get the adds for themselves basically

onyx wind
#

And with a low sample size its so skewed man

dark vigil
#

that is the 99th percentile

#

and max

#

where it's skewed

#

by pi and such

#

95th isnt as much

gentle gyro
#

also sample size at that level is absurdly low for specs like sin rogue

dark vigil
#

but thats why you also compare to 75th

onyx wind
#

u realize there are 30 people playing assa in mythic right

#

there are only 2 parses on generals

dark vigil
#

you do also realize that parses also rank against non public

gentle gyro
#

i feel like talking to someone that argues about winrates in league of legends at challenger level

dark vigil
gentle gyro
#

it has 0 value

ionic fox
#

I haven't gotten a single PI.... * have a 97 avg. Most guilds aren't PI'ing rogues for parses lol

dark vigil
#

yep

#

99th and 100th are gonna be skewed by pi's and shenanigans

onyx wind
#

Bro there are 2

stoic needle
#

Well the rank 1 player is literally rank 1 because he gets pi on every fight

onyx wind
#

Legit 2 parses

dark vigil
#

do you know how the ranking of a parse works

dark vigil
#

like what determines a 100 and a 95

limber lion
#

Peen literally does not get PI on a single boss.

dark vigil
#

even if theres only 2 parses
