Like last week someone asked me zold, dashing, or doomblade, and I gave the answer of “they’re all bugged, Godspeed”
They still hit you even through the pillar 
Also fuck the ones with the aoe arcane damage buff
I think with DB, the bug part (for me) was inconsequential. i wanted it for the envenom
i'm a sucker for zoldyck. if i can somehow justify it, I'll run it
Sludge cheese, I’m gonna try it with doomblade, cause I’m not really a believer
you will be
Ye understandable
I mean I believe in doomblade
SADGE?
I don’t believe in the rest of the build
wouldn't you want zoldyck for sludge
some times I think we get hung up on minor aspects.
to shorten the time he is enraged
Probably not
getting it fixed is tits, don’t get me wrong
You’re looking for pillar damage, I actually think MA is easily better than zold
I’m just not sure about the EP NS MFD full commit into the pillar
DB for pillar
Yeah instead of MA we go doom
Big envenom hopefully maybe
But NS seems troll on that without ma so maybe MA the talent?
Idk yet
Feelcraft says ma talent
try it on a dummy
helow guys
Ye when I craft db next week
ptr?
i mean my guild has to down council before i think about sludge
k guys lol what those abbreviation are for i am burned out LOL
on sludge i had MA and shiv + sepsis conduit ... worked out very well for me
Can’t be fucked

haste mast or crit haste doomblade
crit haste
ah k tnx lol
mastery 
omkeh
!stats
**Shadowlands: ** Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
Stats expecting to change btw?
k k tnx all clear now 🙂
mastery could potentially rise for necros, but not really
Always will babe thank you ❤️
Stats really don’t change tbh
Mastery still shit, haste still good, vers and crit both in the middle
gucci gang
Playing outlaw atm, how much haste is ok to swap to sin? Have like 470
bloodfang doomblade when 2 leggos? pog
no magic number. try it and sim your gear / talents
whats the new rotation with doomblade and flagellation
Zoldyck doomblade
The rotation is the same
i mean when do i cast flagellation
On cd
2 times?
SHOULDERS HAVE SHIT STATS OMG
Same as gloves 
u should have went hands
I'm about to have a 235 crit mastery doomblade shoulders for meme build and 235 haste vers doomblade gloves for serious dps 
Esp since generals shoulders aren't mastery
@stoic needle so i cast 1 flage then wait 20 sec ?
How do i sim as PTR
Identical to before
Flag doesn't have a 2nd GCD anymore
Just cast it and zug zug
only 1 cast?
Saving whispyr hours of correcting people 
Im sorry I literally would get 404d on login
Oof

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/316923750073499648/817509551603318835/unknown.png is that venthyr what? nadjia?
You don’t starting Tuesday, before that just hit it before it ends
Yes
iseeeeeeeeeeee
thx
ty
flowi still stuck on UH?
Any pvpers here that have any idea how venthyr is looking for pvp as well? Or is it gonna be necro
hell play whatevers fotm
@balmy condor why doombalde is better on arms than shoulders?
slg?
slg?
Slg shoulders yeh
233 shoulders exist
And 233 hands do not
Lego shoulders and Lego hands are identical stats
Is doomblade only good on pure st?
i mean in the next patch we are gonna raid still CN?
So given the option, your choices are 233 shoulders > hands = shoulders
It’s okay-ish on 2-3 target, but not great
Doomblade is really meant for big single target envenom slams
The less you envenom, the worse it gets, the less you mutilate, the worse it gets
good thing you militate on 2-3 targets then eh?
Militate. Omg. 
So what lego is recommended for 2-3 target?
@warm parcel no no i mean in 9.0.5 will be a new raid right? or CN still?
Militia-tater
Still Narnia
New raid is 9.1
New raid is seriously far away
😮
Months
Is Essence of Bloodfang going to be a thing ?
whispyr can you link that spreadsheet on personal plz?
So what lego is recommended for 2-3 target?
Zoldyck performs well if you see Huntsman as that 2 target scenario
Especially because the dogs constantly get in execute and they share health with altimor
Zoldyck would be great for council if they didn't reset hp 
Council is a st fight
Yeah once you get into the consistent cleave/aoe, you’re either going zold or ma
council would be a 1 1/2min fight without the hp reset mate 
Council is a trash fight**** ftfy
Dashing in cleave actually is kinda okay, but then you get to like 4-5 target and it’s just worthless
Ty
I like council, but haven’t gotten there in on mythic yet so that might change my opinion haha
Good, then I could spend less time in that shit show 
I am not so sure given how 9.0.5 ptr went

@balmy condor So Ventyr is the way to go and how big dps gain vs Night Fae ..
they will just full test on live probably
Have you tried the pins
CHEAK DA PEENS
Thank you @balmy condor
WHISPYR WHISPYR IS NECROLORD BEST COVENANT NOW!?
Fun fact, you can type !pins and moroes will actually personally come to your house and slap you
sbs GUD
I don't think I can be unemployed for that long 😦
you have spare room?
Not really, its only 2 rooms in this ap
But like actually it’ll just dm you the list of pins in that channel
Also nice offtopic
Not anymore
I wonder if bis is still listed in that
Not when this one green is around
!pins
Sin’s back on the menu bruther
😛
Wait I didn't get a dm
green doesn't mean anything tbh
Baited
i was curious to see if the extra combo points from necro were gonna make it bis guess not
It’s pin
Wdym
when does 9.0.5 comes?
Idk I didn't get a dm
Next reset
Maybe unblock moroes
you mean 10th march?
Moroes hates me
Moroes hate all non german
You must have not paid a lot of attention
its the 9th for us/oce and the 10th for eu 🙂
Right there in the opening of the post
So 10th
Thats also fair
and also didnt work
so there is that as well
!abb
Rogue abbreviations: http://www.ravenholdt.net/rogue-abbreviations/
Also probably needs an updating
We need definitions for the 6 meanings of DS
after patch, do you think sin will climb up the tier for ST, or M+
Azerite abbreviations don’t really exist anymore
yes and yes
When you are bad, and you get buffed, and then do more damage, then you will do more damage
900iq big brain shit
I’ll be here all day
as always

Teach me master you're IQ ways
Also I've been playing since vanilla and still don't call it mut spec, wtf. Get with the times people.
Shit's changed
good. think it can out perform outlaw in M+?
not in aoe, maybe ST
Tbh sin should probably never be better than outlaw in aoe
Otherwise there's no reason for outlaw to exist
i think some keys might be better for assa
I've been playing outlaw all this expansion, but I hate being a cleave machine
like spires and theater
outlaw shouldnt exist
rather have some solid ST
sin's aoe isnt bad.. just not as good as outlaw
Yeah
still pulling like 10k-16k in bigger packs in m+ as sin
oofff, the commitment

It’s very easy you see. When someone asks a question, you have a priority rotation ready to go:
Pins > yes sin is good > doomblade on hands > yes venthyr is good > all the covenants are fine > no it’s not better than outlaw > yes it’s better than sub > no it won’t give you a raid spot for free > yes it‘s strong single target > sim yourself > idk ask whispyr im a clown
i farmed like 35 renown in 4 days ^^
Doomblade goes on hands? MAN SHOULD HAVE IQ'D ME SOONER MAN 💔
Raid on Monday, let's see if I can out dps tanks x)
Shoulders fine too
T R U E
Thank you senpai
Generals shoulders don't cut it for the mastery chad build
I need to get to mythic generals first, 6/10 M pepega here
@balmy condor so whispyr the best choice for now with the doomblade on gloves is to use boots from SD and 233 shoulders?
should have gone for the hands tbh ^^
They have the exact same stats lol
its about lvl
but there are no 230ilvl hands 😉
This is big true
Tell me more of this Chad build, dear Sir

Maybe it’s time for a pin on 9.0.5 FAQ
do it!
Actually question, any of the WQ/Mission Table trinekts that if you got at 203 that would be nice to grab? I have the haste one, but I can't ever see if being better then wing/pgial
Stacking as much mastery as you can to get the biggest possible envenom with doomblade. Mastery contributes more damage per point of secondary stat to envenom than the other stats
(I ain't go DFV)
No
"which covenant?" "how do I sim PTR?" "do I apply poisons before or after the fight?"
How to sim ptr is a little long winded tbh
So you stack mastery and get a decent amount of haste/crit and envenom goes brr

Envenom brrrr
I had a 48k envenom in mists last night on the first boss 
on ptr ?
I’ve found that the more people I teach how to use advanced sim, the more random nonsense sims start floating around and confusing people
I'm assuming there are certain breakpoints at which point stacking Mastery sims higher than Haste/Vers?
No. It's strictly worse than haste/crit but it's more fun
a lil bit of mastery aint gonna hurt 
Words we don’t use in this channel:
- Scaling
- Breakpoints
- BiS

Why are you upset wtf
but with BIS gear the breakpoints gonna change and we scale to #1 dps 
Fuck, true 
MANA TRINKET ON EXECUTE PHASE
ass rogue 0(
Excuse me I'm a sass rogue
mut rogue here
I forgot about the secret tech of 1:37 fight length execute 41.9% mastery 22.3185072648% haste zoldyck rupture tick rate breakpoint thatll scale our damage to the moon
My bad
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/316923750073499648/817509551603318835/unknown.png what about 226 well plated steel?
without covenant
If you have exactly 20% haste crit mastery and vers you unlock double stat scaling sinvana
What about it
Yeah
It's better than wps
what about well plate stell sim
Don't worry mordrigen I'm going to make a sim later today that covers all of the popular options
Does necro rogue ability still buff the group? I believe they gave 5% to primary stat or some shit
oh ok
why dont use lashing as kyrian? 
@balmy condor 
That’s emeni
Gonna be some 60% mastery nonsense 
(sorry for all the questions I'm bad at rogue) after patch it will be a case of getting as many EP envenom's off with NS buff that will basically mean good Ass rogue? (And yes, I'm now an ass rogue)
https://www.wowhead.com/item=184842/instructors-divine-bell is going to be BIS for ass rogue 
I have this in 184...
We don’t use those talents
Oh I heard a lot of talk so thought it was
I want it at 200 so bad
My bad, back to the right talents
I didn't read good enough
I told you I was ass rogue
Ceverion single handedly disrupting the talent meta 
197 
Ep ns is a very specific build for a very specific fight in nathria
Being?
Sludge
Ah
Full cheesing the pillars
so basicly they reduced the flag lashes
and add them on lushing scars
with extra 5% on pushing the flag button?
5%haste
free 220 phial for everyone 
Since it seems necro is now close to other cov's you guys think it would be best for raiding? since the class actually can bring something
regardless how minor
is it cheese if it’s the most important part of the fight?
Holy heck, Door of Shadows is actually horse shit, oh my god 
Door frees up a keybind. good stuff
I thought castable while moving? Nope
Short cast? Nope
Short cd? Nope
oh lord, how can they not buff this iin 905?
@balmy condor Is main stats stil Crit and haste after the patch ?
haster > crit = vers
check !pin
K thanks
scroll up. asked about 40 times in last hour
sorry just joined the discord server 🙂
np
i think @balmy condor is running some mastery chad sims
hey whispyr, how are you today?
I’m okay I guess
That's good to hear 🙂 Hope you continue to have an enjoyable day
Thanks
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
I think the basic rules of any server is reading faq/guide/pin before asking anything?
@balmy condor hey mate///they made flag 1 lush was 3 and they add 3 extra lushes +5% hast on lushing scar?
Idk what the question is
lmfao
That was english, I'm just not sure what he meant to say with it.
Trying to imagine what a lush scar would look like 
sorry for my noob question, but do I understand the pins correctly that starting with the new patch you wanna play venthyr, doomblade for raiding/ST?
yep
ok sorry i meant about the flagellation changes and lushing scars about venthyr rogues mate.......so they reduced the flags lushes by 2.....was 3 now its 1...and they put 3 extra lushes on lushing scars plus +5% haste instant buff???......now my england is bester? xD
thanks for the clarification!
Nope! Still not understanding the message my friend. I feel like you're asking if they nerfed flag, but they buffed it.
no its buffed
lol
http://prntscr.com/10ei73u thats why lushing scars is better than well plated steel?
all i wanted to ask is of thats 5% haste is on the diminishing zone
FAQ
- coming soon to an faq channel near you
Percentages are not diminished, the diminishing return stuff is only on stat rating
!pins
Well yeah but then again
!pin
Just 10 mins ago some random lad joined this server and their first course of action was to ignore anything/everything and just ask the same question here
So no channel woulda done anything
Some people just cannot be helped
Your work and time is highly appreciated
hah yes, there will always be those. but then there's a 10 minute forced silence and/or a slow-roll q/a question channel that could be adopoted (not saying either will solve all issues)
But we have a welcome channel
And moroes
That should greet you when you join afaik
man thanks for everything you are doing for us assassins ❤️
It does
Senpai ❤️
I definitely don’t know that it does because koffing accidentally kicked me from the server

probably because you're not pulling your weight around here
lets make a huge love ❤️ for @balmy condor in the chat
@balmy condor 
do i make doomblade on hands or shoulder @balmy condor
wHaT iS BiS CoV
@balmy condor as you wish
XD
@balmy condor is doomblade bis for m+ ??????
only on non extended execute fights with 3-13 adds in constant waves.
I was being sarcastiiiiic
im a dps brain, so ST patchwork sims are all that matters 
sarcasm not recognizing a sarcastic reply. shame
hey @balmy condor, I'm sure this has already been asked but what is our covenant soulbind choice, and which nodes do we take in it?
Shame indeed
no garlic bread gang stronk
❤️ hope that's a FAQ for you
No fr tho whispyr, do I take the dauntless duelist, or the exacting prep?
duelist
very greatful for the pins
thank you for the people that take the time do this
!bis
not seeing shoulders from slg like forever in hc. so for me choice of doomblade slot is obvious xDD
cant fight with destiny
fuck u draven let me rejoin alreay
Did I just see that sbs is counted towards doomblade now?
So.... With the Venthy change, should i be looking at Nadjia or Theotar for my soulbind? for best ST dmg Mythic content
Pins.
Pins dont show what ive asked.
You can just sim it once it goes live
Oof
With shiv debuff applied, should I do 3+ combo point env, or wait for 4+?
What is meant with dusk not lining up?
i think im gonna make doom on shoulders since it would be a way bigger upgrade right now, and if i ever get SLG shoulders ill just remake the leggo, ill def have enough soul ash by then

What ability is dusk lol
Duskwalker's Patch, the lego
duskwalker leggo i assume
I have 3 fucking master assassins cause I though doing this was smart lol
2 rings with different stat pros and a wrist for pvp
lol jesus
i have a 190 dashing i wish i never made
235 celerity, 225 MA, 235 zold
i wish u could refund leggos
even for partial soul ash
Or at least change stats on them...
235 akaari 235 celerity 210 finality 210 ma 225 zoldyck is what i have :)
but yeah id like some soul ash back
!guide
235 fin 225 celerity 225 zoldyk 210 190 190 mas
I have 210 haste vers doomblade gloves, im gonna craft 235 haste mastery shoulders for the mastery stack meme build. I have 210 celery and 210 MA and 235 zold
I have 2 master assassins, one 225 for pvp (vers/mast) one 235 haste/vers and a 235 celery. And I have enough for a rank 3 of one leggo 
Eventually I'll craft duskwalkers
Oh and. 210 finality that I’ll never wear again
With shiv debuff applied, should I do 3+ combo point env, or wait for 4+?
Okay, ty
got a questions about changing covenants, i've got the sepsis conduit at 226 will I have to get the venthyr one and level it up?
yes
unfortunate
doomblade haste versa or sim it?
is everyone looking at venthyr or necro for tuesday?
most are looking veny
bonus with veny, the dagger tmog is easily best.
the weapon illusion is nice too and the daggers back 😄
Don’t forget to buy gauntlets before patch day boys
Otherwise the price go boom boom
5head reminder, good call
damn good call
Gotta look after the few of us that exist
granted im swapping from outlaw but now i need another 226 piece to replace a legendary slot
😦
yea i need a haste heavy ring now for sin, to replace celerity slot
damn now i gotta go do torgast
hands slot
i see
then aply legend
thx a lot
I have a dumb question, what does SLG mean? "SLG shoulders"
stone legion generals
i see, ty
raid boss
!bis
what's better for single target, ass or sub, i'm playing outlaw but I want to try another spec for a change
anyone knows if the best simming venthyr profile uses lash+wps or lash+dd?
i just want necrolord to be the best -_-

doomblade or zoldyck for sire progress?
zold 100%
for sire prog prolly zold
zoldyck
Crit/Vers or Haste/Crit for Zoldyk if im gonna use it as a both legoo till i get Doomblade craft after
How is mastery as a stat if you're necro? Is it improved because of SBS?
Are u guys gonna craft doomblade crt haste or haste versa?
What’s the current raid sin opener?
!guide
Hello mates, what covenant + leggo are u going to play from Tuesday/wednesday?
check pins @strange python
oh wow very useful, thank you so much ❤️
i dont know if thats sarcastic, but whispyr did a good job explaining every detail

Is there a preference for off hand or main hand having Celestial Guidance/Sinful Revelation enchants?
I always use sinful on main and celestial on off, I guess it's the same really
Are most people gonna switch from sub or have already switched for ST?
the majority switched to outlaw for raid like 4 - 5 weeks ago
And will probably switch to assa for raids and keep outlaw for cleave/m+
Thats what im doing alteast
Sad but true
I can't get good ST numbers with outlaw I think I just suck lol
but its probably because I dont have celerity since I was waiting for the 9.0.5 final notes
I have 235 finality and 235 MA since I thought sub would stay good
is it looking like assasination single target is better than outlaw?
Stay? It was never good lol
Now I have to decide between zoldyck or doomblade. Is Zoldyck just better for prog in general
MA is useful on all specs, so don't worry. And Sub is still ahead on Shriek, and very viable on all ST fights
sub being good for more than half of first tier of exp pepeLaugh
Id say only for specific bosses @true rapids
Doomblade seems like the wiser choice
Only sire has big execute damage needs
hast mastery for doom blade ?
would it be better to just make celerity and prog as outlaw though?
outlaw is gonna be the ideal spec for slg bout it if you're progging lat e bosses
Are you going necro or venth in 9.0.5?
Well... Outlaw is good for huntsman, lady(except cheese strat),slg
is the dps and 1 activation buff on venthyr spell that good ? bcs I don't like the effect anyway
Assa is better at rest
Maybe sub rogue still king at sludgefist who knows
we are only 3/10 rn so maybe I will make doomblade at the rate we're going I should have enough to make celerity by the time I need it
I like Zoldyck for the weeb reference though
ya
If you want "perfect" setup:
Shriek Sub
Huntsman Outlaw
Hungering Assa
Inerva Outlaw
Sunking Sub (or Outlaw if shield dmg doesn't matter)
Artificer Assa
Council Outlaw
Sludge Assa
SGL Outlaw
Sire Outlaw
you know the drill
Isn't assa better at council?
adds at council
prio burst?
not the permant 3 boss cleave
Nope, since ST of Outlaw is still really close to Assa even in 905, and adds are really important
i prog's council as sub for the attendants, depends what you need i guess
can you get renown from all difficulties of nathria in one week?
well you dont have much uptime at boss right
what the stats for doomblade legend ?
in my head sub is still king cause of perfect line ups, but assa could beat it
well its not too far
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/26#boss=2399&class=Rogue
using MA...gross
Assa + MA leggo is bis for Sludge
Even in 902
what is sin getting in on a MA window for sludge? env>mut>env ?
why do we prefer the 3% dmg increase to one target over the 20% food buff+20%wep enchants+20%flasks?
and would that change in a ST vs main target with adds periodically spawning?
yes along with trinkets currently. trinkets wont get 100% crit from ma moving forward tho
i really need skulking pred trinket to just die in a hole
sometimes it just hits and you think okay
sometimes it bursts you 50 meters to the right throwing you camera all over the place
It's only a "must" for Sub at Sunking and Sub/Assa/Outlaw for Sludge
And nice to have for fights like Council and SLG
yea, but it's like the default for law...and i hate it
and it's not because it's hard, or annoying...it's that i know i never use it perfectly and that pisses me off
90% of outlaws go with deeper for normal fights. Unless you're speaking of M+, where it's 100% better with MA and Killing Spree
i was a deep strat gamer, then loktark shit on me in heroic sales and i haven't taken off MfD since
why do we prefer the 3% dmg increase to one target over the 20% food buff+20%wep enchants+20%flasks?
and would that change in a ST vs main target with adds periodically spawning?
@balmy condor pls
Is there a smart way to bundle mutilate and ambush?
nope
actually, yes. bind 2 keys 1 for ambush and 1 for mut
the other way (trying to bind both to 1 key) is the... not-smart way
i made a ctrl modifier for ambush and nomod for mutilate
it's key "1"
and when i'm stealthed the key "1" is only ambush
yeah at seems like the way Ill end up goingg with it, ty
folks who tried., 1-30 renown after swap via arena grind / and other grind how long? day two three?
do you get renown from random bgs?
But you don't want to press ambush in stealth
im at 18 right now, 9 lfr bosses, 5 m0, 3 callings, 1000 anima quest
doable in like 4-5 hours
Because it sims better
i wonder if i can do 30 renown in 2 days. without crazy grind for 12 hours
dont even bother picking up the rescue souls quest until you upgrade your soulkeeper
if you care about covenant upgrades
Rerolled Necrolord yesterday morning (EU), after emptying LFR/Normal/HC, world boss, 4 Callings and a couple keys I'm Renown 27
As a reference point
Yaas
We were like 8 ppl in our guild who all felt the reroll, just ordered food cracked some cans open and went to town lol
bone spike does so much dmg now lol
considering how often it can be used'
im def trying it out today
i waant those sickle daggers bruh
but the juicy haste man....lmao
thats great too, means rogues finally have viable choices without being furries or blue angels
i mean, the 2 choices just shifted to the other 2 covenents did they not? lol
Rogue cov have always been like 2 ish % differential
And then blizz decides that they buffed it too much and puts some balance up the week after patch
how can I sim for different combinations of oil / ap stone?
and yes ik it's like single digit dps difference
its in the sim options
More like mut snd mut garrotte rupt mut vendetta flag shiv vanish envenom
in the sim options there is just a dropdown to select which one you want
but none to compare them
Just open multiple raidbot windows with the same gear/talents etc and sim the different sets of oil/stones
So I normally play Outlaw, but switched to assassin just to start to get a feel for it so that when the patch hits next week, I can play it. Well my sims for outlaw are around 4.3K. Here is my profile
Now I switched to sim assassin and it says I should be doing around 2.3K
WTF. why is assassin simming half of what I do normally in outlaw
@gentle gyro To sim all food, pots, and stone/oils: https://pastebin.com/0CnXcRR1
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Assassin can't be that bad...Right
Do you have 2 daggers?
I did equp the 2 I had
Post the sim
Let me run it again...hold on
ok..son of a bitch. Now my sims say 4.1K
I wonder why it gave me 2.3K at first
Lol
Now that sim also does not have stuff in conduits I have picked for assassin yet
so it could be higher, and the new dagger I got is also not enchanted yet
will do. Thansk Oshosi
Does it seems OK as opener ?
Yeah that's fine
wait. shiv still a thing. I thought people weren't using that
Protip: don't worry about openers too much. As long as you get all of your buffs and dots up as quickly as you can the order you do it in doesn't matter too much
And it'll matter even less once SnD doesn't give us energy anymore on Tuesday
!guide
The difference between a perfect opener and a suboptimal one is 10 dps
That's a lotta damage
Yeah you want to shiv as much as possible, use it every single time it's off cooldown
Hmmm. wow. I did not know that. Thanks for the tip
If you want to be smart about it, don't use envenom unless you're about to be capped on energy. If you do that, and refresh garotte/rupture/SnD in pandemic, you will naturally have a decent amount of energy when shiv recharges
And get as many envenoms during shiv as you can
It's not a huge deal if you don't. You shouldn't hold it if it means you could get in an extra envenom before the target dies. But if they're healthy it helps to take your time
I haven't played with the new flag yet. But I have a feeling that it might be optimal to flag immediately after garotte. All the cp you spend getting up snd and rupture could be stacking up flag. If you flag right at the beginning of vendetta you may not get to maximum stacks within 12 seconds because in my experience you start running low on energy towards the tail end of pumping out envenoms during vendetta... I could be wrong though. I also wonder if it's better to put up rupture before SND now because SND doesn't give us energy anymore
Also flag right after garotte would mean that you get the biggest part of the haste buff during vendetta
Does anyone know if zandalari kimbul Loa buff works with doomblade leggo? It really should imo, if necro covenant ability is also working
this normal btw
I'm pretty sure that opener isnt a 9.05 opener since you'll wanna flag during vendetta
?
Ptr only works in an advanced sim
You’ll just mutilate, mutilate, rupture then go Mut-Mut-vendetta-envenom - go
tempted to go venthyr today and just lfr n shit
So you’ll get the initial energy influx over two seconds which can put an extra finisher into flag then go into a hasty vendetta
I went Venth a few hours ago, lotta work but will be worth
Huge Assa ST, Assa/Sub PvP and not too bad for Outlaw M+/cleave
i just have progression on tuesday so i wanna be able to be caught up
I already know what the new opener should be
was just commenting for the person asking
From what I read here, assa killed sub and I will get back to the vamp bois tuesday, finally
I was feeling like the bfa assa widow jesus
yeah dont really need soulshape for assa pvp anyway
so mightaswell get all the pump you can get
It was more of a mental exercise for me going through it. 
Sometimes I have to apply next steps to confirm logic of openers- to myself

the last time i switched covs it took me like 4 days to go from zero to 2x
I'd switch if I wasn't pushing keys this weekend
I think is kinda smooth, a chore indeed, but doable if u grind it
i mean we only need lashing scars for st right
im at 20 so far with just lfr m0s and callings
that are people gonna use? double potency or dauntless
Even in aoe, pop it on cd
And dauntless duelist
campaign will put me at 28
i see
Haste is good stat
then im almost done
its kinda awful that you get nothing if you don't reactivate
I think I’m gonna drink the koolaid and join the vampires bois :/
Let's just call our previous time as venthyr preparation for now

don't quote me, I may change my mind in a few weeks
Honestly if it weren't for the mog and the poop fly mount it'd be tempting
that's the part I try to forget for now
Not sure if anyone knows the answer. I had started swapping to NF before the venth buff. So I just turned in the quest. How long do I need to wait until I can swap to Venth?
Draven is not letting me start the questline lol
it'll pop up on Tuesday
Better ST + better PvP VS Better Cleave/M+ could be argued that they're equal all round
oh wth
why does blizzard make this stuff so complicated
so it will take me another whole week to swap, so dumb
It's just that my guts tell me venthyr has too much randomness and/or simbait, lashing scars will probably be nerfed, and SBS looks really fun
Won't be nerfed first week, so can try and go for 2400 in the first week 
sbs buff doomblade?
If anything Necro is gonna get nerfed
Why would necro get nerfed
Lashing scars is definitely nerf worthy because it adds more damage than any other rogue conduit besides cto
But they've let cto stay so 
If I had to bet they're gonna pvp aura nerf flag
how much of a damage buff did flag get?
Look, a blizzard that doesn't touch Convoke or Wild Spirits isn't a rational blizzard, so mehhh
Zero lies detected
whoever's in charge of rogue balance really seems to care that the covenants are close to each other
and was kept as far away from druid and hunter and mage as possible
Except wild spirits was basically nerfed significantly in ptr
bc right now at 131 per cp, it's kinda poop damage wise
I told my team Hunter was going from an A class to a B- class
they didn't believe me
There is no one in charge of rogue balance, we don't have a developer
i guess i dont have lashing on though
Yes it’s a massive nerf actually
Hunter doesn’t do good st
It does amazing burst aoe
But that’s getting hit even harder than the st nerf
The first pic is the tooltip on ptr now
So it went from doing 6% damage per lash to 10%
I think if you spend 18cp in 12 seconds it does the same damage as sepsis including the bonk
And then lashing scars makes it do even more damage
who is they?
Outlaw with dreadblades and lashing does like 30k damage
my guild
Also thank fucking God flag doesn't cost energy anymore
Much less 2x 20 energy and 2 gcds
hey guys i have a potential dumb question
is goin Korayn with Subterfuge actually good ? Does the crit buff applies to all 3 buffed garrote ? Or should i FoK/CT instead ?
Im also gonna switch to venth, i main outlaw but probs gonna play more sins in ST raids.
im NF now so luckily its easy to switch back if i get regrets
gonna be hard parting from soulshape tho since been nf since i hit 60
i thought so too
but then realized i only use it to get around covenant hall and town
Soulshape is an amazing ability
Door of shadows is shit
It’s gonna suck losing soulshape for raid
well luckily rogues have other movement abilities too but yeah, once you get used to it its hard to live without
probs gonna be spamming keybind for it the first week after swap
as zandalari troll i'd still like to know if kimbul bleed works with doomblade
no one seems to know
Unlikely
well if necro covenant ability works, why not racial bleed
oh whut, flag got nerfed already? just tested it yesterday and it lashed 3x without any conduit
bleed is a bleed
They literally had to just fix SBS to work
most racials are just whitelisted from class abilities
And it's a class bleed vs a racial anyways
oh :/
are renown from raid boss garanteed
so far 3 boss 0 renown x-x
while my friend got 3 for the same 3 boss
ok just unlucky haha
and less % the higher renown
only 18 x-x
Yes it's good, you still open with 3 garottes out of stealth in aoe. Each new target you garotte refreshes first strike
Flag didn't get nerfed, that's how it works on live but the lashes do shit dmg
ah, was wondering if that's the new ptr one lol...
ty, it makes much more sense now!
gonna be even worse for playin 2's with my mage buddy 😦
Is 39 max renown this week?
It’s in intervals of 2 now
18 is when i stopped getting them every boss
I stopped getting them every boss at renown 8 
Became like every 2/3 dropped em
Real sadge
should have done the raid first 😉
i did an LFR, got a lot, then tried normal and got 0
Imagine not being 27 renown already 


i wanna see a fist fight between crispy and oshosi










Emote spam


L2 have fun bernie
You can't stop me rae
Fuu can

quick, someone ask a spec question
u guys think its worth to swap to sin from outlaw for pure raiding?
Depends on the fight
i did it for my sanity
Why not just play both
And what your raid needs
Sin and outlaw use the same gear so multi speccing is easy
SLG is an outlaw fight
It's true
for pure single sin is the better spec after all buffs?
id say so
Yeah with doomblade
Yes
There is more to raiding
I might have to turn back on outlaw loot spec and get a mh if I want to get into a good guild 
sludge and dena are good for assa
Than Pure ST though
Hello, trying assa for the first time. Does the bleed from necrolord ability works with doomblade?
Yes
Cool, thanks a lot
any of you on EU servers who want to grind renown ?
I'm going to go NM raid renown grinding with my guild and we are lacking some dps
opener with MA is mut -> rup -> mut -> SnD -> garrote?
Snd first
Would have gladly joined but I did it yesterday already :'(
Have you completed the covenant campaign?
should i dump my soul ash into my 210 zold or just make a 210 doomblade on reset? staying NF most likely
What you gonna use it for?
swapping to rogue for HC most likely
I would make 190 zoldy and doomblade. Db for ST, Zoldy for AoE/Exec
@balmy condor sry for binging, just a question. Did you use lash+wps or lash+DD in your nadija sims?
already have a 210 zold, i mispoke was wondering if to make it into a 225
aiit cool
Single potency only
Being lash
!stats
Are you guys swaping to venthyr or Necrolord?

already venthyr here, changes sounds super nice

how come stats are haste-vers. for me haste crit has been the go to. and thats what wowhead says too
Do you know what >= means?
worth simming or is it meh
That trinket is very good
well in the pins its only >
but it's better than most Heroic trinkets
just wondering lol
In the pins it says vers=crit
also man playing with MA talent is wierd and inconsistent af
Really?
Yep, all glory to MA lege
I prefer subterfuge but the MA opener feels good
I mean at 50% you're nearly guaranteed to have 5cp after 2 muts
But you don't even muti twice in a row on the opener
and if you don't get the double crit you basically have no talent in that row
Nope
That's not true
Your poisons and bleeds
how do we sim PTR
If you get 1 crit on each mut your SnD and rupture initially last longer than they would if you didn't have ma
And got no crits
i mean if i get it right they both sim more or less equal
Because putting up 2cp rupture and SND is technically optimal in the opener
Depends on your gear tbh. I've had MA sim higher for a while now but I still don't bother
trinket would be a downgrade btw. yikes.
See if other people in your raid group have it too
it will scale up in damage a bit if there are other how have it too
Which trinkets do you have now
skulker / herald
doesn't sim higher though, and skulker deals mad damage
There's no way 213 skulker's sims higher than past sins
Also, skulker's is unreliable
Past sins is consistent
When the difference is 10 dps you always go for the more consistent option tbh
how is it more consistent tbh
And with a single other person using the trinket it will be better
Because skulker's flies off to random targets in fucking narnia
And it's been super buggy in the past though they said they've tried to fix it I don't believe it
i mean it sims higher because the cd is shorter, despite it being physical damage
anyone else keep dcing from ptr
Like I said, if the dps difference is only 10 dps you go with the more consistent option
10 dps is nearly within the margin of error of the sim
I had 213 skulker's and booted it for past sins as soon as I got it lol
would you go with hast/vers or haste/crit if you are crafting doomblade completely new?
Sim it to figure out what's best for your gear
