yee diff is mistress adds had to die at one point 
It was fucking insane on that meme fight in tomb aswell, the one with 2 phases
Zul was designed in a way you could keep the secondary targets up at all times, plus the boss himself had pathetic HP and you could utilize those two things together to hard push past everything difficult in the fight
Which really had not happened in that perfect storm before
I can see blizz bringing back a baby version of combo as a conduit
im sure we will get some frost mage funnel on a boss in the next few tiers
meanwhile mages on aoe 
with funnel into boss on slg you can probably make a strat to go into intermission with all adds up, use some wild spirits/combusts to finish them off, kill intermission goliath with funnel and repeat in phase 2
Yea or just play fire and obliterate everything equally much
Does necro covenant bleed work with doing last envenom stacking doomblade
tbh subtlety also got a very bad reputation after zul
a lot of people hated being sat for the 5th sub rogue alt with normal gear that would pull 30k dps
Well yea people were forced to play it and they hated having to not do aoe cus of pesky sub rogues
i get it

the funnel was still making it a very solid pick on orgozoa but that did not make anyone switch to it
Anyone remember no fall damage? 😩
Pi
lmao
yea like 9 pis?
makes me sick

Dont worry guys, they will reset logs today
thank god for my poor WW
For the .5 patch
9.1 is your only hope
.5 will likely last a bit
June
buffs seem aimed at pvp
My guess
Dont think .5 was ever meant to be a balance patch specs or classes
well i guess not entirely pvp since they are so disgusting in m+ as well
I think they stated that content patches are what they aim to change balance around
.5 seems more like they want to try to fix bugs and some power balance issues
the assassination buff could as well be just something to calm down the community
"see, rogue is not bad"
I honestly dont think they understood how much of a dps gain cttc would be
And then add wounds buff to that
They see it as a qol fix
Mainly
Wooow, my logs for 15s are so good
Not a dps buff

Wow


M+ logs wooop
how would you look at cttc and not think it's a dps buff
imagine if they didnt buff energy regen
it would've been 35 apm spec
like
do i wanna sleep
yes this is why i hope for buffs to WW and MM as compensation for the bugfix nerfs
Assa is chess basically
once blizzard sees
While outlaw is osu
A chess of always just tracking a timer
Outlaw is yatzee
guys am i playing sin
Outlaw is Texas hold em
Build, Spend, Build, Spend
fix 10, add 11

Outlaw
Build spend is 99 of specs
Or more?
All of them?
In the entire game
Is there actually any spec that isnt about building and spending
Dont they build ice lances
yes but that's not a resource per se
Well its the same design aint it
when it comes down to it, yeah, but it's not a limiting factor on what button you can press
Spending ice lances
blizz is somewhat contradicting itself.
They will introduce new systems in the content patches and then only do a "quick balance pass" and won't touch the specs till .5 patches to not interfere with progression
But then don't want to balance in .5 because people are still progressing and "content patches" are for balance changes
like, ice has no "ice power" bar that they can expend
what in the end means "no worry we will do it in .5" and "can't do it in .5, lets do it in .1" .... a endless cycle of not fixing game balance
Feel bad for all ww players at these trying moments
akin to like runic power or energy or holy power or the power of friendship
pretty sure WW nerfs actually hurt prog pretty bad on any guild on last 2 bosses like mine
Well no, but i mean build/spend in a bigger pov, not a bar that you fill
no major class changes mid xpac
beta launched
almost no changes
window for major changes is closed, sorry
nothing new really
kinda funny. they were like lets wait until hof, and the guilds slightly outside of hof, just get double fucked: ur not in hof and ur prog is nerfed
funny in a sick way
ww isnt even very good for denathrius, its mostly pad p1 damage
i acutally thought they were gonna nerf council, SLG, and sire this patch, but i guess only council for now
we have 2 monks so im benched until i can get outlaw back ig, if the mark of the crane bug stays in https://i.imgur.com/kDDPPon.png
idk cuz i haven't done the fight, but i just thought they needed to do nerfs when hof fills on the bosses that are walling people
idk why i said "needed" i just mean they did
Aren't they about to get doodoo'd on with the fix this next patch?
True, i just dont think sire needs nerfs ever. Its a sub 200 pull fight for most guilds
my guild is at 140 pulls and still a night or 2 away from killing 
Explain
We took 78 pulls on sire, but realize its deceptively easy
When a friend of mine is on pull 210 and counting
whats yall highscore on slg
My guild was about, 130~ or so Pulls?
We killed last night at 187 pulls, but a good 50 of them were P1 wipes where we were too busy laughing or lagging on the first adds
rank 1 most slg pulls
high score 

my guild is so inconsistent, we get to p3 cleanly maybe once or twice per raid and then we gotta learn that shit proper too
When you are benched from all mythic 
pretty sure we have 100 pulls and havent seen 2nd intermission yet
i wasnt in on most of them tho
Idk what happened to my guild on sire, we just turned on turbo mode if im being honest. Took us 23 wipes to reach P3 first time
faster than limit 
we had a fuckload of problems with impales
Same raid night as we started it
does vendetta increase the damage of flagellation?
I think it was the double rogue strat
yep
Yeah. Most nights we'd only get a few clean P3 pulls. Think it also depends what P2 strat you do
u better bet ur butt it does
flag doesnt count as a bleed for zoldyck right
nope
Oof, tho, it is a fight where if even one person fucks up it costs the kill
SBS does tho
I thihnk
I think a lot of guilds have issues with tanks on sire
That's something i really dislike about the raid
thast you have to hold damage
on so many fights
or else you get fucked
For my guild we had problems with people not focusing Sins on P1 and getting hit by Crescendo/Massacre on P2
just let me blast blizzard
holding dps is one of the least fun things ya
We were fairly okay with mechanics on P3 but it was just intimidation mostly at that point
But like if you dont have good tanks, P3 will be very hard. Because the boss actually slaps your tanks real hard
Yeah our group had to push after the 5th cleanse and before the 3rd set of Cabalist's came up, rather than, holding
how high does Cttc actually stack
Yeah that's why we pushed so much, so our healers would have as much mana as possible for P3
as in is there a limit for how high you can get SnD
To like, 47/48 seconds
It isn't like Outlaw's shit of getting 2 full minutes of SnD
2 min?
I hate that tbh
We had more issues with tanks in P2, never really had that issue in P3 . Guess it was the movement in P2, but our tanks would always die pretty much bang on the 6:10 mark
I got lucky with Roll the Bones a lot of the time
you get like 4-5 a lot
do you guys go venthyr or necro after patch? bonespike counting towards doomblade is kind of an argument going necro even for single target fights, since its also good when uptime is not 100%
Oh
Sometimes gotta right click off and as outlaw
I guess I wasn't then 
Vampire bois
It's more borked than I thought
Same
Sometimes I gotta click off snd to maintain alacrity between packs :)
Necro is very versatile
oh yea i can do that i actually didnt think of that
So i will be going necro too
I'm gonna stay NF personally, but Necro and Venth are both strong, even if Venth doesn't interact with Zoldyck or Doomblade
going necro is a major L in the WQ meta
I played sbs first weeks of cn
there should be a soulbind that lets you cast fleshcraft while moving but with reduced MS
But it felt like shit due to no dmg, so the 300% will do it good
necro is good for raid prog and probably the best option for multispeccing outlaw
but im a venthyr hype beast
gimme that top ST sim
I mean Necro should be in general I feel since Fleshcraft is gonna be a solid defensive CD now
Trashcan set
@subtle tundra emeni can fleshcraft while moving but you gotta go endurance path instead of potency
Fleshcraft is actually really fucking good now
🤮
Yeah like Fleshcraft needed that buff
Soulshape still my favourite ofc
frog
if youve ever soulshaped while stealthed in a shroud, the frog soulshape has an absurdly funny animation
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
same thing with frog mount + shroud
Does doomblade proc venomous wounds
no it'd be bonkers
With the venomous wounds change
Does that make it equal to slice and dice rank 2?
Better?
its the same
I assume multi target would be bonkers right
shadowcore or stones for sin?
its better on multi target but energy stops being a problem on multi target
single target
I think 1 stone and one shadow core right
Is that still true after giga venthyr haste?
@limber lion no shadow core oil and phantom fire?
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
No. Currently Stones/Spectral agi wins. But Push is right, with the Venthyr changes it could very well change. Sim yourself.
WAT GUD NAMEPLATE S BRO
while in theory venthyr is best i feel like it gets punished quite a lot (more than other covenants) for not perfect play around its abilities.. do you guys agree?
Yes.
i wonder if i am good enough to make it worth ^^
Anyone can :)
Is raidbot updated for 9.0.5?
Tuesday is a fucking useless day, I just spend it waiting for 9.0.5 and my vault
It is not yet iirc
but will be when US servers go live again after reset
that's what is written when you open raidbots
Kk thx
Same.
I was just checking your rio and armory, I want the same dagger bro
stuck with those 213/210 x)
The 190 MA ring makes me sad tho
A 235 one would make you 225 Ilvl x)
Fellas, how's the cov switch atm? Is it bearable?
:D yeah, I just go with Zoldyck in m+ for now because I got 235 Zoldy's and it's just easier to play with em. Still like using MA in ToP.
I got 235 MA bracers and 235 Zold, I think I'll only play MA in keys starting wednesay, I need to train because we need more ST burst now in High keys
I can't wait for the vault to disappoint me again now that I can get 233 items but I wont
If I could burst prides down instead of having our boomie do it, this would be a gain
Yeah I like MA because it's really good for bosses/pride, but it often results in a little less overall damage
But rn in 20s, I can't burst enough with low ilvl daggers, a bad covenant and playing Zold
And with pugs, less overall damage = worse player
true
But I don't do pug anymore, should be fine
So basically, MA for coordinated groups and Zold for pugs as a whole?
Because they usually fail to recognize how much damage you did to prides/bosses whilst they spent all their time padding on trash
Yeah, MA is really good for non-pugs imo
What I need to find is more vers, to tank some abilities better
Pretty much, but you can still play MA in keys.
Especially in higher keys where pride starts killing people even through cooldowns, it's so worth playing MA
If your team handles aoe well that is
If it's on the low side then meh
Oh that's what I mean, like if you have a good guild group or w/e with people you know it's more useful in there rather than a PUG compared to Zold, is what I'm feeling
Yep
what stats do we take on doomsblade? haste + poly?
Poly?
Haste + crit/verse
poly is vers in french
It can depend on how you sim but yeah I went H/C
yeah sorry, I mean vers
Oh lol
I'm still waiting because I play most of time in RBG and I don't know if I have to switch venthyr
Sim yourself, both haste/crit and haste/vers should be fine
You can sim tonight
kinda hyped to see assa logs now
Do you know at what time sims will be update ?
should be able to use ptr="1" to sim yourself
Ok ty, can't wait for trying all the new settings :D
Also true yep
Sorry if this is a silly question but do you guys think assa will be more viable after patch?
for PvE
Soo after 9.0.5 we all go vent? 🤣
Really? 🥺 im so excited haha
Renown Grind sucks...
yes it does
The new flagelation seems insane though
The instant haste is as much as a 210 quantum device
Hello
@limber lion I saw you went vent on rio, do you have any feedbacks already? how fun is it, what are the strenghts? Does it seems to really be the go to covenant if we want to be competitive?
there's nothing to say cause new vent ability isnt in the game yet
Currently Venthyr is really bad, but with the reset that's happening in less than 24 hours, it will be really good.
It's easily the best covenant for ST and it should perform well on AoE as well.
Thanks for your advices!
Another question, what should the opener looks like with flagellation in it? Do you have any idea? And should we always line it up with Vendetta?
Do i get renown in mythic dungeons?
Yup
yes you do but its very slow in comparison to spamming HC dungeons
With MA as well:
Mut - snd - mut - gar - flag - rupture - shiv - vendetta - muti - vanish - env - mut - mut/enc
Ah ok thx
pls dont nerf flag pls dont nerf flag
You should line it up if you don't lose out on a cast. So on shorter boss fights it's always worth to line it up.
But if you get say 4 casts and miss out on a 5th cast because of lining it up, it's not worth it
flag before vendetta?
Flag will be nerfed, join the covenentless brotherhood to protest
Stand United brethren
So I switch to venthyr and do the intro quest line. I do the 3 WQ in revendreth as part of the intro to callings and I open the bag you get
That's a good point, Vendetta might be before flag. Not 100% sure yet on the TC on it
my idea would've been
mut - snd - mut - gar - vendetta - flag - rup - shiv ~~~~~
WTF HOW DID YOU GET THE QUEST FOR THE 3 WQs
i got it today as well after writing ~5 tickets
and the first chapter is still not marked as completed but at least I can continue the campaign
I literally just switched covenants and I the intro quest line led to this quest
im stuck on common grounds...prince wont got upstaris
I didn't even know it dorpped a conduit 
@coral pawn i had the exact same problem
took 5 fucking days to get sorted out
only way is to write a ticket
damn, that sucks 
i have a ticket right now...15 hour
be very clear on what the problem is
hours
same rip
i already got the automated response...look on the forums
waiting on a live GM
imma be fucking pissed if i cant get it sorted out by tomorrow
progging mythic counsel
so guys, for MM dena is still zoldyck the pick or doomblade?
zoldyck for sure right?
Zoldyck for dena yea
Yeah a lot of people switching to venthyrs, some to boneguys
Others remaining nfae for pvp purposes
And kyrians crying
Sin viability
This was what i new when i choose to go venthyr from the first day 😛
I chose venthyrs day1 and switched to nfae when I was renown 31 already
Cause of pvp
Its almost they wanted to make venthyr sin the best rogue spec all of a sudden
U think its gonna be enough?
I believe it might get nerfed BUT as everyone says: Exploiter still exists, convokes still exist, etcetc
So who knows
are we going with double ap, double oil or 50/50 on weapons?
double oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
Nah honestly I don’t see a nerf
Fire mage
Convoke
Affli lock
Mm Hunter
If they nerf us I will take it personally
!wa
Assassination WA's:

https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Affli locks and bomies are stupidly strong. MM is fine if you ask me.
is it 1 week or 2 weeks to go back to a previously joined covenant?
2
basically one reset
so if you wanna swap back to something, best do it on a tuesday / wednesday
thats just a difference in semantics but you get to join back in the next reset. fill bar in week 1, fill bar again week 2 and then you rejoin
yes
o0?
Why is that exactly? D:
I'm also curious to see how good scundrel preforms on 2 target cleave compared to zoldycks and doomblade. :c
Hi guys, it would be better to switch to Venthyr (never going Venthyr before) now or after the patch ?
now
melee should be ahead ranges in order for the classes to be balanced imo
do it and run m0s LFR raid for renown
Assa seems stronger than both sub and outlaw for ST now right?
Not sure to make Doomblade or Dashing
ive gotten to renown 15 without the campaign just doing m0 world tour and lfr
i havent gotten a single renown during the first 4 bosses i killed in lfr and then i got like back to back renown drops with a few exceptions for the other 6
ive gotten renown at first two bosses back to back in one wing and no renown on last
no renown from sire lfr also
How big is the % increase in dps with Venthyr Sin compared to next week? I did first reclear yesterday with current Flag and like 14 renown and was already somewhat close to my best parses
next week will be a banger, but current flag should be worse than NF
500 dps on my character if i put in ptr=1 compared to current
so if you parse better now it's you playing better or some other circumstances
because current flag is, uh, "meh"
Less people playing sin
I really like flag it’s interesting to use
The way it is now
Just sucks in terms of damage
true, i simmed dps now with current flag then ofc its 500 dps in comparison to same conduit setup next week
Does the new flag give a combo point
wait...if im renown 15 i got renown off 7 bosses in lfr
renown is random
I did 10 keys and went renown 16->18
each m0 gave me 1 renown

i just did LFR and one heroic, basically got renown from each boss / dungeon
I did play fine i'd say but i didnt sim Better, just better than expected
I'm not going to lie, but i really enjoy the weapon animation when you use flag lol
or weapon changes rather
How much Haste ya'll sitting on?
Are you high level sins?
i just did a normal sludgefist for practice, coming from sub
and i did more damage than ive ever done as sub
Do you come fine through endgame content?

24 to 27 depending on what I do
3% 😭
o_O
well yeah fine
I was just thinking this! lol
it looks really good 🙂
I know right!
i've been a ww monk more than half this tier i'm just getting back to rogue lyfe ;c
We finally got ourself a brewmaster monk so i don't have to play WW anymore.
9% mastery 
crit/haste/mast/vers
ah okay
Hello again guys, if i plan on going full time sin (raid and m+), should I prio Zoldyck leggo and then Doomblade for single target? Or put them both rank 1 before pushing them?
Which boss are you progressing on, do you already have other leggos ?
20+'d be nice, sitting on 17 atm
I have no leggos and we're starting the Mythic ^^
Doom for raiding i guess, zoldyck for m+
I guess for the first few bosses both leggos are really valuable, but if you want one to go M+ too, Zold would be the go to
I dunno how good scundrel is in aoe though, if its better than doom or not.
So you may want to prio crafting Zold to a higher rank first and then focus on getting domm for pure ST
So rank 4 zoldyck then only doom?
Whispyr will be resimming all this very soon, but i guess it could be a bit better in 2/3 target cleave, not even sure
me too
I'm gonna go for Zold rank 3 then doomblade then, thanks a lot mates 🙂
You could get Zold to 225 then stop, play with it while you craft doom
I only make up to 225 cause I'm broke baby back bitch 
Yeah that is an option, reminds me to make my daily shadestone
Boosting with guild is pretty nice
Zold on legs for stats right?
Yes
Yeah
And dooom on gloves
What's the best legendary for M+ for Sin? Or is it better to play a different spec?
MA probably?
I mean, Necro Outlaw is prob best for M+
But Zold/MA is good on M+ as Sin
From the latest sims @balmy condor put up Dashing seems good
And it’s effect seems like it could be useful in higher keys
the only downside of dashing is that you most likely won't use many envenoms in 4~5+ targets situations
I'd rather not need to swap covs for M+ and raid.
You are NF rn ?
Yeah uh I wouldn't using dashing in keys
Well you don't
best covenant now for assassin will be necrolord?
Isn't dashing scaling worse with extra targets compared to doom blade anyway?
Because you don't envenom in multi target much and you stop mutilating at 4 targets
Venthyr with doomblade
Don't think there is any scenario where dashing is better
venthyr
First time playing assassin here, is the energy regen supposed to be this...slow? Or is outlaw just especially spammy
Yes and yes
@stoic needle I have a problem
I find myself simming as if I had 226 daggers
makes me want to cry

Time for pvp 
My ilevel is 212 and my daggers are 200 and 194 😦 Maybe tomorrow
I'm considering going outlaw loot spec
Valor points for 220 will be enough
good luck on your chests everyone! 🙂 
Without pvp I would be so screwed I still haven't seen a single weapon elsewhere
Dagger 226>Dagger 220
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jvpkM3YXSJLKyRgdb8cEwv that's ptr, with doomblade on hands, 226/220 daggers (which is doable this week if i get one in the chest and another from Heroic sire or valor)
320 dps 
pvp makes me toxic, I don't wanna play this shit 
I'm honor capped but my rating is so low I can't upgrade anything
Same honestly
I'm just bad
I can understand
Levelling atm
Especially when you are not sub player
Honestly any Covenant save for Kyrian is strong for Sin right now, Venth is getting a huge buff tho
How large of an effect does the doomblade armor bugfix make in pve ?
On ptr sims do you know if envenom pandemics and sbs procs seal fate as it will be on 9.0.5 ?
I think so
If you used the nightly version
Yup ok
@iron orchid Do you plan on switching to vent? or not at all?
I just switched to necro, personal preference :p

Hey, at least SBS will synergize with DB
I wanna try it out, and I'll see for myself in a few weeks whether I wanna go venthyr or not
Necrolord is so good. SBS is just the best
I'm still stickin' NF, lovin' the aesthetic and moths
No not yet.
wait for Whispyr's resims with env pandemic and SBS seal fate procs
It will be updated on the next nightly build, which is also the 9.0.5 build.
Ok I'm gucci
6.6k going up
Just have to get those weapons x)
God I can't wait to see my DPS on raid night this week
I've been #2 behind our shadowpriest who power infusions himself ><
oh, and that's with 225 doomblade lel
Dont think Im gonna pass him anytime soon
Cannot craft 235 this week
Sp should always PI themselves actually, but getting them more than theirs is kinda bad
!covenant
Raider.io thinks I have 3 of 4 Nadjia's soulbinds/conduits active (which I do) but also that I have a Night Fae soulbind active
Hmm
If we had any priest healers could ask them for a PI to see what happens. but we dont.
Yeah I was about to say
Sad shit
!medium
Isn't that last one Dreamweaver's final row?
Yes!
RIO is drunk 
we ran 1 or 2 priests depending on weeks, and I almost never get PIs because fire mages and DKs come first
Can't decide which covenant? Just use them all

9.3 all covenant abilities unlocked
simultaneously
they've got to top corruption somehow.
Walking into final raid tier like
Do you just randomly have yugioh card images saved for such an occasion? lol
Nah I just grabbed it from google 
Honestly the amount of Offensive CDs everyone would have would be stupid
It'd be pretty hilarious
I think the idea of having one covenant and one "allied covenant" from which you could have the souldbind tree is fine
for future patches
but getting the abilities of covenants would be a lot 
I think that's the ripcord
Lemme stay fae but yoink flag off venthyr kthx
Flag looking pretty tasty ngl
Honestly I feel the only way they can save Sin's Kyrian problem is have 2 random CPs be targeted instead of just 1 because of Seal Fate
Otherwise it's never gonna go off, at least reliably
The combo point minigame isnt fun for anyone. Just make next finisher 7 points
It needs the buff now anyways
Fae probably does too
I mean it's at least more consistent on Sub and Outlaw, but with Seal Fate, trying to hit that spot is gonna be more trouble than it's worth
Any synerge between sbs and fixed envenom pandemic?
Fae feels fine where it is, Sepsis has strong interaction at least with Shiv
Soulbinds and Soulshape, but yeah
Niya is strong, and Korayn is a very good option for keys
!opner
Burrs in ST raid hm can do 7% damage on boss for me, it's pretty good. And with Korayn also nice for mm+, still wondering if the covenant change will be a good moove
Yeah Burrs surprisingly, pulls it's weight HARD
I get around 5-6%, somewhere in that range
its either rng or youre not playing correctly so your other dmg is weaker in comparison
Yeah I'm unsure of the PPM for Burrs but it does go off a lot for me, also I was wrong it's more in the 4% range with a +- of .5%
Still a good chunk tho
Quick question for you all when do you normally use your pot in the opener, been playing around with some timings
I normally slap it on just before Vendetta.
Or 1s pre-pull because I'm lazy
I guess then slice and dice will be up, more autos more chance of procs
That's the thing, we don't use shadowcore oil/fire potions
We use stones and spectral agi
nou
Phantom Fire is just worse.
I'll actually sim the consumables with the ptr changes and see how they stack up
Phantom Fire might pull ahead with Venthyr
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
it sims better before ptr changes though as assa. Don't know why
With my current profile for 9.0.5, it still sims worse
Phantom Fire also has a lot of variance, so unless it's simming a lot higher for you, I wouldn't recommend it.
just checked... on hungering it only procced 5 times for 20k total... that seems pretty low
is the doomblade armor fix a dps upgrade?
Yes, a massive one at that.
so, the sims are with that fix or without?
Btw, coz u can get Maim Mangle conduit at 226. Dont u think could be bis conduit with doomblade?
With the fix.
No, Lashing Scars is the best conduit for Venthyr.
I wonder how Maim compares to lethal poisons with doomblade
yeah exactly
Nah, I think even a 200 WPS will beat out a 226 MM, honestly
But it's still worth a test I feel
sbs dot counted as bleed for doomblade bonus?
Yep
wow
WPS is still better than Maim Mangle, yes.
Lethal Poisons is the go-to on heavy AoE situations.
Even moreso than Poisoned Katar?
can't believe necro is slightly weaker than venthyr even tho it has lots of synerge
flag is pog
Well, I think it's mostly because Flag's buff is REALLY strong and Venth has stronger Soulbinds overall iirc
yeah, but Flag does a lot of dmg per slash
but im going necro just coz the doomblade 5% more dmg envenom
anyway I go venthyr 🙂 loved in burst
People sleeping on that 10 second life from Heimir. Imagine getting first Denathrius kill as last person alive bc of that soulbind.
You would be the guild hero for years
we have evasion for that
then u have evasion, cheat death and heimir xD
For our guild, our AoTC kill had only our Prot Pally alive because of Ashen Hallow + Bubble 
better 3 than 2 😉
I moved venthyr already and got 29 renown this week. I really don't want to do this shit again 🙂
Then imagine getting the kill as the last person alive for 20 sec xD
if you DIDNT do a progress kill as last man standing with evasion
you are not a rogue
Is ventyr stil bis ?
for ST
K
I killed heroic sire with the paladin healer whilst in my 10 seconds of afterlife because of heirmir soulbind
Not a prog kill tho
But rogue last man standing is the way
We had me on cheat death and a mage in pod on our first kill
when I tried Sunking, we saw 3rd mantle on last phase. I thought CoS can save me and prepared to be a hero.. but....
The first down of heroic sire we did, we had trained for 3 evenings and I hadn't died once, but I died on p2 just this one try 
That's how it goes 
Hahah I know the feeling. Being last man standing for most pulls but dying on the kill
You go ham as fuck, dodge Crescendos and Massacres for DAYS
And then the one pull where it would matter...
Thinking you can cloak soak whilst cloak is still on cd
Blizz:spec is bad
do nothing
spec is still bad
:O
Life as a sub rogue
After just chain pulling everything gets fuzzy
When NA reset? can't wait Raidbot 9.05 live
Hi guys, sorry to cut in like that, but do you have a macro to put your ambush on mutilate binding and make it appear while there is a blindside proc?
Why don’t you guys make a blizz complaint instead of typing that weird shit here?
how can i compare sims in raidbot?
I actually got hit by Shattering and my SS was on CD and I was just "...Fuck"
na reset in 2h and 21m
So basically these notes are final
P much
Not that they cant hotfix later but
You can but it’s not recommended per se
Would have to be a really important huge thing they missed to get added in 2 hrs LOL
SBS GOOD?
Yeah we should EXPECT that everything that has been noted to be implemented in the next few hours
SBS Synergizes with DB, so but I think it's also getting buffed in general??
Only the initial damage
So its not that much better in a raid scenario than it was
Apart from working with DB that is
well i guess i'll keep it on another bind then
Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz
Showcase Video: #assassination message
Where does Lashing scars drop?
World boss
Sire, callings, wb
combo point generation will be better, and it can proc seal fate
Ven'ari
if you have 5 combopoints and shiv ready would you first use shiv for the dmg bonus or envenom to not waste that one combopoint?
And on reset, denathrius
Also scales off of Assa's mastery now.
Oh, yea
Yeah, getting an extra Envenom during Shiv's window is worth more than that 1 CP
Either way, Venthyr is a lot better on ST
ty
Hell yeah, Venthyr gang
np!!
And the situations where SBS are better than venthyr in a raid scenario are pretty limited
Prob better on fights such as huntsman only
And then its not even better by that much
SLG, Huntsman and Sun King pretty much
Huntsman and Sunking yeah
But honestly with how fast the Huntsman fight is, Venthyr might pull ahead
Any fights with adds/cleave which is a lot of fights in CN
They’re close enough that people spend all day in here debating between the two
I'm pretty sure it is not
So that should also tell you something for now
What pieces of gear can u craft dashin on?
boots and huh
just craft DS on boots x)
I think they mean moreso in DPS in most situations
boots or back @onyx wind
In the legendary sims, are the pieces of gear that legendaries are on accounted for?
Like one will beat out the other in certain situations, but overall you can go either
Kyrian is just the one Covenant that you don't want to really go for as Sin
In twisting corridors, can I get doom blade first time@going in if I get mortregar? Or do I have to clear first 2 then hope I get on the 3rd
160 damage between the two ST is pretty “near each other”
I think yes, Whispyr runs his bis setup, he uses 233 pieces when it's better, and adapts legendary slots accordingly
160 damage is like 8 sockets
The guy is a contrarian fml
Okay?
But i guess its subjective
160 dps is not significant enough to use the words “nowhere near each other” lol
I do consider 160 dps a lot.
Can anyone help me understand twisting corridors?
Honestly I wish I understood TC 
Sure
I just don’t know, if im going in first time ever like floor 1.... can I get doom blade? If it’s mortregar
Or do I have to clear floor 1-2 and hope door 3
I dont know if you can get them in twisting corridors
160dps is a bit, but it’s for a specific SIM. Imo it’s to close to call a certain overall ‘bis’. We’ll see how it plays out is more my stance
go out and in again trying to get the correct one
Like floor 1 I can?
I know I can get them in TC just wondering if I have to waste time clearing 2 floors
i dont know if you need layer 3 for leggos
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4MyjvYu1JpDxisjzagvKn2
lashing venthyr is a 200 dps gain with my gear
In TC to?
So if they do drop in twisting corridors, u prob just have to get them at some point
With a boss that is
But again, i dont know if they drop from there
Yes, but you’d have to kill the boss in layer 3
Do we know the value sbs brings to sin w/ doomblade?
ahhh yes
just enough to not have to do boregast before raid today
Sims show it 200 behind venthyr w/ lashing, but how close would that gap close with doomblade & sbs?
guys, the synergy between doomblade lego and necro SBS is this potentially gonna be bis for st?
you can 100% get leggos in tc
Noone really knows until the fixes are implemented in sims
Which they seem to be
Im going to be playing both outlaw and sin going forward, just having a tough time picking between venthyr and necro
im in this same boat
im thinking necro
Night fae soulshape is too good for me to swap
but im so uneducated, the doomblade synergy just seems decent
more mobility on class with a ton of mobility
SBS+Doomblade means +5% dmg to eviscerate, yea?
And prob a few more eviscerate casts compared to venthyr
since u get free combo points
it would give you 20% bonus damage to envenom
so up to 20% afaik
Garrote, rupture, doomblade bleed, sbs
You can look at some logs and do some quick napkin math
But its probably not a big difference
ontop of the fact that sbs gives you a shit ton of free combo points
the difference is not being venth when you do your weekly keys as an outlaw
thats where my loyalty lies
Afaik venthyr doesnt work with blade flurry, which is why its even close
Good pride damage with venthyr which is pepega
If they decide to fix that sometime soon, venthyr outlaw might be bonkers
If they made flag flurry, outlaw would be legitimately busted
honestly that probably won't get changed
man the spanner in the works might be that sub still outperforms assa after the buffs
and then we are giga fucked
necor plays so badly with sub
No way
sub does not outperform sin currently
yeh i know
not even after these buffs, its not even close
Sub 
but like if next teir bosses favour sub
Sub will never be allowed to be better
with short burst windows like sunking or something
sub will never beat sin as long as these aura buffs persist
Yea, i feel like venthyr sin is gonna get out of control at some point
If it isnt already
@gusty mirage yea I figured it would be layer 3.... but I was meaning does it matter if I get it on floor 1? Bc there are 8 floors with 18 layers each right?
so if i was to start playing rogue like mines jsut hit 60
should i be playing necro or venth if i care only about raid margins
is ventir still looking best after this SBS "fix" ?
Venthyr
What’s is sbs fix?
Yeah 18 layers each, if you’re looking to farm specifically legendaries just keep running out at floor one until you get the one you need. Unless you want to do the entire floor to completion toward the mount or something
even with the sbs synergy with doomblade
are these fixes in the sims yet? if they are not is it possible necro pulls ahead of venthyr with doomblade?
If you think about it, its not likely
@gusty mirage nah I could care less about the mount lol... just want leggo
How many
Yeah man just keep requeuing it’s miserable 😂 all 18 can take over an hour total
take a 5min boss fight?
Sure
Isnt SBS 30 second cd?
First is 2, 3 if it crits
5 minutes is 300 seconds
2nd is 3, 4 if it crits
so u get around 12 casts
I wish all Assassination rogues a very Higher DPS today
right, could also pair mut + sbs
Sure but lets not overcomplicate it too much
for very fast envenoms during shiv window
Hey, I'm a new player, I've been looking for a while for what covenant would be the best for assassination, I'm eating my brain, can someone shed some light on the matter?
You boys ready to be over powered in 8 hours?
Either way, lets say youre not playing doomblade, how much % of our damage would envenom be now
if im NF Outlaw and looking into Sin for raids + Outlaw for m+/cleave, what covenant should i consider? 
@onyx wind if you do play assa as a venth do you even play doomblade?
I’m also necro lol just for the feels of fun and I don’t have a necro character..... it’s not to far behind right? Lol
@fossil lily they’re all close but it seems venthyr and necrolord are best atm
Necro for outlaw is very good
I’d wait until the changes go live on raidbots and do a top gear sim to see which one performs best for you tbh
Doomblade or dashing scoundrel yea
Venthyr is best overall with Necro beating it out on some aoe content but not all
And isn’t noticeably behind for sin as well imo
This tbh
Venthyr is very good on ST and somewhat equal to SBS in dungeon slice
if not better
in sustained cleave 3-5 targets SBS is better
I don't think any of my friends will play necro, so it might be a good option for me to be a necro, right?
But those scenarios almost never occur outside of like 1-2 raid bosses a tier
Yes
Boss damage is always relevant
i'm gonna wait 1 or 2 weeks before swapping covenant, i have a bad feeling about venthyr getting nerfed after a few days
hope i'm wrong tho
Probably because they’re already dead.
That's a fair concern
i think its likely to get nerfed in pvp
Not world breaking compared to some covenants and classes
Lookin' at you, NF Druid/Hunter
They don't see it a problem every hunter is NF and DPS warrior venth
Shouldnt signia of alacrity be quite strong for us atm?
I have a rogue recently lvl 60 and as a necro has bleeding damage because I thought it could be good with the legendary to increase the damage of envenom with bleeds
I actually have no idea what that is
Also if they want parity among covs inside of classes, letting venth be slightly ahead is good since not everyone will swap from kyrian and NF
Casual players and alts probably won't. It's a grind again they'd rather not do
Which is a big enough % of the player base
im so ready, currently renown rank 28
I'll pass on the hot takes
And its based on STATISTICS AND DATA
Sure. Hes never wrong. Except all his past videos aren't relevant to his track record because reasons. Good for him getting viewers but hot takes are dumb
someone out of curiosity has any simulation or something?
Check the pins
We live in a simulation
XDXD

Necro
Don't hate him at all. He's a nice dude. Just remember when we all thought sub was gonna be bae?
Heirmir gemstones afaik
Pin says heim
@ornate dawn IM GOING VENTH DUDE
Venth is not far behind sbs for outlaw in dungeon slice
I don’t like how they aren’t giving a charge back when someone gets full healed as necro... for pvp atleast
But I like necro
With doomblade
Venthyr sims ~~200dps higher than necro for me
AND MY CHARACTER
But i doubt changing gear will make up for a 200 dps increase
@inner granite
Thats strange that the difference remains nearly the same with doomblade
interesting
I'll stay venthyr for now boyos
Made the change a couple weeks ago in prep of 9.0.5
How much better is venthyr compared to NF?
Soo vent bis confirmed?
7
Venthyr is clear bis in ST
And really good in aoe too
What about aoe,that haste buff seems nutty
so probably the go to
7?
haste buff and soulbinds can fit aoe well
You get nice prio damage on the target you flag too
Its gooder
If you decide on your health insurance within 5 minutes don’t even bother looking at the pins
Just rng that shit
Flip a 4sided coin or smth
Hence why I started off as venthyr to begin with 
Enjoy that renown grind boys, I’m walking back to 26 renown and an almost fully upgraded sanctum 
I am a little worried if theotar is a bit simbait because of the mastery zones
Ran first m+ since switching back Venth from Fae and didn't even notice much dip, if any in performance.
For aoe that is
So figure it's only gonna get better with patch.
Because all covenants are close anyway
I went necro because I liked the cinematic on YT and thought the zone was amazing when I started questing there
But what about this super niche scenario? Won't SBS pull ahead?
Was doubting to go venthyr but that door of shadows was hot garbage I had to get away from
Mastery zone lands at ur feet
It’ll still be hot garbago
Honestly that's how I was with NF
I saw the moths and I was just like "Sign me the fuck up"
Yeah for sure. I guess I did play Venth as Sub so it's not a direct comparison, but now that I've opened up more of the soulbind tree, and playing Sin now, it feels pretty good even before the changes. First two months it felt garbage.
Oh good to know
7k gang put your hands up
Hmmm went with haste vers gloves over haste crit, now I’m wondering if I should of went haste crit...,. That being said the difference between the two will be extremely minor won’t it?
Through God anything is possible. Write that down.
I think the difference is fairly minor yeah
Doesnt really matter tbh
I'm a tryhard and I only sim 6750-6800.
0.1% isn't minor
It's gonna be a long day tomorrow.
It's negligible.
A lot of simming and planning
Try harderer on your sims
I also only sim 6.7-6.8k
Better potency conduits? Get 226 lashing or something
That is with 226 lashing and doomblade
Simgame means you can be utter shite at the game but swing your 7k # ego around
Gonna need a 233 weapon, 226 Phial and 226 gear all around
^same
since Doomblade is bis now for single, we going elaborate planning or gonna still use blindside ?
I'm 255.8 ilvl, I thought I was up there but I guess not lol
BS for ST, EP for AoE
255 damn
