Being necro makes me sim between 6.5 and 6.6k, losing around 100 to 150 dps ^^
but it's really fun 
In longer cleave situation yes
I'm so desperate at this point i'm running +5 dungeons
lol ^^
Does Recuperator Conduit synergies with Cut to the chase? or its a waste since you actually dont reaply SnD again?
just get the token from sire
Valor only goes to 220 tho right? Just go sire hc kappa
Just loot a 226 one from vault 
both my daggers are from the wake
I got my 3 vault chests in one day, doing 7 Mists 15/16 and then a few more dungeons for valor
I really wouldn’t recommend that as the valor costs are gonna be insane
same, with PF for the trinket lol
I could take 226 From PvP but cba farming 900 conquest
u have the rating ?
Y
may i introduce you
to my weapons
repair them man
I want to laugh but my condolences lol
Any upgrade is an upgrade then
I have two daggers ready and honor capped, but I'm just too bad to get rating
Hello guys are you all proud of me?
Neato
how many PI's did u get ?
Lol it was guild raid
heroic? 🤢
100 makes me wonder tho
I can't MM with my guild :(
It's ilvl parses
For sire i mean
zoldyck + ct = win ^^
I am so far away from @ceverion
We usually have 5 people shouting on sire to stop dps that I think parses will never be happening there
touch of bread?
0
My dps with Doomblade in p3 is higher than dps with zoldys in p3... maximum sad

Yeah we fucked up don't look at those logs lol
Seriously?
Although that’s based on 1 fight haha
Yesterday, we went to Mists 19 and PF 19 with my team, I didn't stream because I thought we'd only deplete, and we timed both.
RIP content
My ilvl went up by 4 as well so there’s multiple factors in play
may i get a link to your stream ? ❤️
Getting the valor upgrades has been very cool
I saw you added TrufiGCD! Thanks for that!!
you can check my discord profile or look for polyvalence_dei on twitch
Although after pressing the buttons in the same order as you I still don’t hit your deeps 😂😂 fml
Plan failed successfully
Yup, I put it on top, so it doesn't bother me at all
ty
I also started running MA in dungeons, and it feels great. I was able to burst down prides, bosses and sometimes packs so fast
being a night elf helps too
my MA is only 190 ilvl 😦
Well, many leggos can work as sin in dungeons, I ran doomblade by mistake on Mists yesterday, and it didn't even feel that bad
I can't say, haven't tried top this week, but in tyrannical, I'd say sin cannot be a bad choice for top
If you are trying to push keys, never go for a full ST build anyways
Been running Doomblade since Wednesday now and I’m loving it tbh
But still use subt and ct talents to still retain some aoe
hey guys, i keep getting pulled out of stealth in M+ (ooc)
i suspect it has something to do with receiving buffs (arcane int e.g.)
has anyone noticed something similar?
Maybe you stood in shit? Or dot on you?
I think on tyrannical weeks, to do keys in pug, it can be good. At least you are sure you'll get the ST and small cleave damage done. I prefer MA when playing with my team
negative
That's the way yeah
There are bugs caused by stampede rush
and hunter's move speed buff
they break stealth for the whole group
just take more buyers in and u dont need to stop

ToP is a good Doomblade dungeon tbh
Hey guys. How hard is it to maintain dots in M+ when you are used to playing specs like hunter or Ret? Really cant decide which rogue Spec i wanne Play for M+
Outlaw seems to be easier and getting higher dps, is more meta
the S word D:
https://i.imgur.com/3sCoJEU.png
oh look, another pendant
The madman did it
wha
lol
what are we pinging me for
less PoE more WoW
but I've been so busy with school
:(
I'm taking a breather
for stream tomorrow

I think he’s gone so we can continue
SCALING IS COOL


your first assumption is that I ever leave
huh should have ran with PB
Phial 
Anyone else?
yikes
But got the crit haste ring 3 times, and wrong trinket once
in 8 plague runs u didnt have some guy to trade u ?XD
Ooze?
y
At least that isn't
too bad of a consolation prize
Oof
Only 220 phial will satisfy my needs
Fk ooze lol
this isn't plaguefall, it's mists
Honestly I feel it
just want a dagger man
Thorn is a really nice dagger in general
I might farm mists for it
I still need to get KSM to even get to 220
imagine farmin our ass off this week for phial to eventually get it 226 in a chest on reset day?XD
i got domina's dagger in 184 
Ill be real, i would be mad for like 20 minutes, but fk it 226 phial
xDD
^
wait for vault
U P G R A D E
before upgrading then lmao
i better be getting a mythic denathrius item in my weekly lol
i have like 2500 valor already so whatever
how many bosses have u killed?
Wait, other way around
off to mists run nr 20 this week
Me? 8
🙂
Guild is 10/10 doe
A guildie told me, that great vault bases loot which dungeon youve run. I ran only plaguefall. If theres a shitty DOS Shadowgrasp totem again, ill legit kill his ass

Good thing about running same dungeon over and over again is that you can optimize and look with which build you do most damage
you mean spamming b
y imagine doing Plaguefall without Cloaked in Shadows
I might actually just have passed
Outlaw record 6.8k
Assa record 6.3k
Seems like i need zoldyck to do better with assa 😦
Using MA?
You mean tapping a every time the pokeball wiggles
Outlaw MA killing spree
Assa Doomblade subterfuge lol
H mm
Got all 226 weapons from pvp
Interested in seeing your results with MA in assa
very zzzz results
Quick question guys - whats the deal with Shiv? Should I refresh Rapture and Garrote before it comes off the cooldown and pooling energy right before it or is it a massive dps loss if I delay it a little bit? 2-5 seconds maybe. Kinda struggle to make the most out of my shiv windows.
It’s the same as toxic blade
You don’t want to need to refresh bleeds during its window
never really played assassin. really struggling with it lol
what is best stats for assa m+?
haste crit
shiv is mostly just a "slam it on cd and you're chillin" kinda thing
it isn't required to use 3 Envenoms right? it would be just the best case scenario I guess?
nah even just 1 envenom is fine
oh cool thanks
you're looking to avoid missing casts
so if you're just starved and get unlucky crits
so be it
unlucky
I kinda feel like the opener in raids sometimes feels clunky. anyone in the same boat?
really struggled with Shiv....guess I used my Sub mentality
using the sim opener
mut snd mut gar vend flag rup shiv
it's gonna be really slow with DS
just be like that
it only feels clunky right after first mut into garrote - once you get everything up its very smooth
but whispyr is it not similar to sub in the sense you must refresh you maintenance spells for the shiv window
if they wont las the duration of shiv
ye if you get it running it is, but getting off the gar and stuff is meh
and have time to refresh atfer
yeh kinda
but as a worst case
you still don't hold shiv for it though
better to press shiv anyway
yeah
got you
really helped me a lot - thank you @balmy condor
so if you do a mechanic that pulls from the boss and the dots have dropped, shiv anyway and refresh and hope to hit an envenom at the same tme
damn krajll with the big boy slg
i just did some math because I'm bored
the chance to get the dagger from my 20 mists runs was 70%
assuming equal droprates for items
what is up with Covenant abilites? can I use them off cooldown while I'm in a shiv window?
which one?
nightfae
basically off cd
venthyr one doesn't interact with shiv
Did another plague run, DH got phial
Fk man...
also should be used on cd
Hey guys, doomblade on shoulders or hands? got both 226, shoulders are vers/haste (pvp) and hands are crit/haste also
good to know
sims will tell me what is better for me rn but maybe i mess it up in the long run
the stats are equal on the item, so it probably doesn't matter at all unless you're gonna get 233 shoulders
chance to get Phial from any given m+ run is 4%
so uh, good luck
at least my dagger is 5.6% 
maaan
i've done like 13 pfs this week
no phial still, but got the other trinket like 4 times
I'm planning on doing it with my warrior/rogue friend
it's a win-win, at least they'll have weeklies and i have a bigger chance of getting it
but still, pretty boring to basically live in plaguefall
would have been a VP vendor so bad
let me buy rank 1 of any given item, if i wanna waste 10k vp for one slot let me do it
Why you gotta do this
Stop, im already dead
With a 100% chance of leaving a sour taste for PF in your mouth...
hey man, I have 20 mist runs and I already don't wanna hear "HEY, CATCH" anymore
Hey, this doesn't look right
oNe oF Us Is nOt lIkE tHe OtHerS
This doesn't look right at all
hahaha
actually need to correct myself, for a 99% chance you need over 100 runs, not over 90

but statistically speaking you should get it around halfway through that
than higher you want the chance to be than more runs you nee to do
also you could consider having more than one chance if you have people in your group that also need the same item
it's true that I do not account for others trading you the item
but what are the chances some other melee who is in there wants to give you phial
does your chance also take into account 2 items?
it does
aha
2/5 chance to get loot, 1/[lootable items] chance to get the item you want
For M+ which talent do you use in first row?
Assa new meta? 😋 

hey, im now necrolord outlaw that wanna try new spec, which leg i should go for m+ ?
If you already have it, you could play with MA
It's pretty solid
^
and it works fine with necro sin
seems like without cd reduction it is not so good as for outlaw
Hi, uh im pretty new to rogue. I just boosted a character to level 50. Uhhh, so when going in stealth I have a different setup. is that normal?
its litteraly
my first itme
definitely not the same use of the leggo, but I've been playing MA necro sin since reset, and your 2m burst window is kinda insane
Yeah you get a different action bar for stealth
envenom+sbs ?
cause whenever i watch pikaboo
his actionbar doesnt even change in stealth
I'm unsure if he has a different UI setup
But that's the normal thing that happens with Stealth
You have a completely seperate action bar so you have options for stealth without clogging your main bar
hmm i see
who can loot agi daggers in addition to rogues?
you make sure snd is up, go stealth, garrote sbs rup, mut /shiv to 4/5 cp vendetta vanish env mut env mut env
then use sbs when low on energy ( really cheaper cp gen than mut)
no one, i think
shit
Yup no one
so would it be bad if I had the same setup in stealth or doesnt it really matter
that's what I do mostly
Not entirely, like you want Stealth options like Distract and Sap but I keep mine the same mostly
subterfuge can mess you up otherwise
a few binds go to stealth only abilities, rest is the same
oh okayy
Nah you're fine honestly
it's really not that complicated
Like that's probably your only real hurdle I feel
Everything else is very streamlined
@bright pewter thoguth the same back in BfA....but a few days later it was basically the most fun I ever had playing WoW.... best decision I ever made
*thought
Yeah it takes a little bit getting your feet wet, but it's really easy to get a handle on compared to other DPS Specs
ehhhhhh, not so sure on that take
also so if i were to start off with assasination, how different are sub and outlaw compared to assas
Oh of course
I'd say Sin is like, right in the middle, maybe a little lower, in terms of easy rotation
Fury Warrior is probably going to be one of the easiest
Sub is a lot more punishing I feel
"Oh shit this is off CD LET'S GO"
Is it worth making a macro for ambush and mutilate on the same button?
I've only played mage so idk what is really hard or easy
Like i used to do with Shadowstrike and backstab when playing sub
!mut
Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
There it is, but I wouldn't recommend it
I've played Frost Mage, Fury Warrior, and Sin/Outlaw, and Sin was pretty damn easy, but so are those 2
I'd def say Rogue is a beginner friendly spec, at least for Sin
There's a lot of more micro-details with Outlaw with Roll the Bones and Sub stuff
I don't know shit about Sub, I've tried like 3 different times over the years and it just never clicked
i just play sub for pvp
You would not use Ambush In a MA Windows when BS proc?
So now that we are venthyr, if yo run m plus, What is the setup to make Theotar do max damage ??
shadowstrike shadowstrike dead 
anyone know if there is a sim to see what race is best for me? both herodamage and bloodmallet say orc is best in ST dps for sin rogue as of 905, but idk how trustworthy either of those is
i highly doubt race makes a noticeable difference
Like at least for Horde it's so minor
i'd bet it's single digit dps variance
if you want to just make your life easier just pick a race with a 2m cd
macro it to your ven
like orc
Void elf, allways
void elf best elf
get those procs on huntsman doggos
alliance 
i swear ill go alliance again first chance i get
Alliance best liance
yeah but if you wanna do anything sort of competitive, alliance is a bad bet
well you can get easy rank ones for alliance only, so there´s that

Alliance has some strong races like Mechagnome, but yeah Horde tends to go harder for raiding at least
I only know Raiding on comparison
I love the Diplomacy and Will to Survive too much to go to Horde
That's the human pvp trinket racial, isn't it? Will to Survive?
na that's every man for himself
bis for aritificer traps clearing every man for himself
or was, last time i played alliance. in WoD 
yeah, it was heavily nerfed and is called Will to Survive now...only takes you out of stuns
Oh damn
I'm not really too surprised? But I didn't think it would get nerfed outright or s/t
still beneficial sometimes, even in raids. Yeah. I understand why thy nerfed it. Human was pretty much the to go pvp-race most of the time
I mean Belf got their racial nerfed a WHILE ago
Used to be a AoE Interrupt/Silence, now it just removes 1 beneficial magic effect

it was after human nerfs tho so
Was it? I know it was sometime between WoD and Legion that Belf got their's reworked
While I agree it's not likely going to make much of a difference, I bet it's more than a 1 digit difference.
Anyway, yeah, I'll prolly just go with orc, cuz work work
belf got thier silence taken away for bfa
Damn, feels longer ago than that
they had it all of legion
My memory is all skewed, oof
Subterfuge doesnt work with Vanish?
ofc it does
It should
it gives u 15 energy, not a combopoint
oh? guess they changed that too
IDK just did a M+, i still got CD
if you vanish garrote you don't get a cd if you're running subter
can confirm as of last night around 11pm central
i can confirm it as of 2 seconds ago
^
if you were getting a cd, you were either not actually stealthed, too slow to hit it, or have the wrong talent
Vanish Subt is pretty important in M+ so I use it very regularly to know that it does work
Yeah I would figure out what's causin' that cause that's a pretty big interaction that shouldn't be breaking
All of our Tier 2 talents basically revolve around Vanish as a DPS CD
lotta dps loss
play with the 15 % hp shield conduit that u get with every stealth. its god tier 😋
You may have used it and then vanished while it was on cooldown while outside of stealth
I'm already stacking Recup and Nimble Fingers
I used to do that too
true
oh yeah, didn't think about that one
I still sometimes vanish by accident while garrotte is on cd
So I just wait for it to come off LOL
Yeah it's just waiting in the stealth of shame 
yeah as much as ive played this spec over the years i too do it every once in awhile
Human error is bound to happen in any raid encounter
It’s worse when everyone is blasting a pack in m+ and I’m just there looking at my watch for garrotte
"I swear I'm not AFKing, I just fucked up"
I really miss echoing blades 😦
Flashback to all the time I stood like an idiot
i don't bother running subter on huntsman
Me neither because of the way they pull the bosses around
This week I'm prob just gonna go full ST with Doomblade and see how that works
Sometimes I lose dps trying to garrote both
with the new patch im slowly stopping using sub on it as well
i've got the 18th parse without it, and it's easier to not have to swap back n forth
With how my guild does Barghast I'm tired of running across the entire map for his ass
you still want to multi dot tho
I still multidot but not if the tank is in Africa with the mobs
and if i miss poison on him somehow i just toss a throwing knife at him omw back to boss
I stopped playing rogue like a few weeks after shadowlands because assassination felt awful
Thankfully since I'm NightFae I can Soulshape to Barghast and the SS to Huntsman but it's like, still annoying
I’m so used to playing shadow priest now that I’ve stood in every frontal in m+ as assassination
Lol
oof
I kinda feel it
Assassination blasting now though thank his
I get hit by Kaelthas' stupid ass cone attack
Thank god*
I was necro till yesterday, so having a whole gcd to waddle over there was nice for uptime since i can just bone spike on the way
then just SS back
def finding it alot harder without that filler ranged gcd now
Necro looked appealing but I just feel like we have too many things to maintain anyways
It would drive me insane on m+
nah, dont over think it
I feel like Subter is still the play for me cause I don't think I have the means of blasting out pulping envs
its literally just the cheapest combo points
if ur energy starved for some wierd reason
Just through the spike out and forget about it
u just throw a couple of them suckers out and ur juiced up
It'll do it's thing
I’m only really energy starved on single target which is where venthyr is better xD
Plus the venthyr mog doesn’t look like reanimated dog food
Which is nice
also theres nothing like having full bleeds on a pack, them all going into exicute, refreshing sub garrots and hitting som emini buffs
really just melts the rest of the pack
Necro definitely does look fun for M+s
Our energy problems have gotten so much better this patch that I don’t think it’s completely worth it
also bonesmith is really nice just passive agi, plus the coming back from the dead part for a lil bit is rlly cool
But for people who can handle it necro will probably perform better in half of the raid fights and m+ scenes
I mean thats just one example of why its a nice ability, theres other examples as well
Oh
or wait, 4
Sadly you'll have to reapply them all during Danse Macabre since you get so far from them
But I can see it being good on Council
nah they should stay now with the changes
They get removed after each target dies though
Oh good, that "Bleed dropping if you go further than 30 yards" was annoying
This would surprise me, outranging made them always disappear earlier
it was because they heal to full, but they made it so that doesnt happen now
Cuz bosses heal to full
But haven’t checked yet
Oh it doesn’t happen now?
Does it matter when flagellation is popped during the opener? Or does it just want to be done when your nearax combo points?
Bone spike should replace poison knife and allow us to become ranged rogue
Nah not really, like you want to pop it after Vend for initial lashes but the dps difference is so minor
If you pop it before vendetta though you can get 8-10 haste just from applying rupture and using slice and dice tho
That’s what I usually do
I mean yeah that's an option too
Ok cool thanks, I have been popping it just before I use rupture then I vendetta
I think it’s preference really no matter where you pop it, it’s gonna be beneficial
pop it when you have full combo points
As long as you get GarRup up and SnD, blast your CDs, you're fine
I kind of love vanish as a dps cooldown for assassination lol
Makes me feel like every 2 minutes I’m a beast
@rapid laurel yeah, super fun, regardless of the talents you use
Well I don’t think we ever talk about the first talent in that row
At least not for pve
Night Stalker?
Yeah
I think it sees use on Sludgefist
I wiped our team in SoA by using vanish right after the third boss wanted to blast me lmao
if you vanish while you are about to be mcd in the caster boss on ToP you get the mc instant and get fucked
It’s the hustle, people need to suffer for ignoring our requests to join group
Yeah I still play Sin even for M+
Like Outlaw is fun but I don't got swords
I still get kicked when people see I’m not outlaw
On tyrannical week too
Where assassination is much better than outlaw
Some of these boss fights are lol 5 minutes long lol
is it?
bUt ItS nOt An MdI cOmP
i just did necrotic wake as necro and the second boss even tho he doenst heal to full loses the sbs

if you got a 5 min tyrannical boss you got problems
I just did my own keys till i was rank 1 NA then people just would let me come anyway
I can't think of a single boss that would take 5+ minutes
Unless someone fucked up REALLY BADLY on Surgeon
mueh zala maybe
Oh that's true too
On like +23 and what not bosses take a loooong time
U guys running mantle or execute for m+?
id use doom in top or spires yeah?
Outlaw is the bane of my m+. I don't really like Outlaw but everyone expects you to roll with it regardless.
*m+ existence
i've never had anyone ask me why im not outlaw
Outlaw 🤮
people are blinded by my rio instead of looking what specc im playing
exactly
yday i did some quick 15s. leader didnt even know he invited a rogue for skip. he just looked at rio and clicked accept
Rio can be toxic tho
Don’t get invited to 15s because you haven’t done enough 15s
How am I gonna do the 15s then
Find a guild
use your own key
just gotta be patient/do ur own keys
My guild asked me to switch to priest for the stamina buff so they feel guilty not taking me to m+
I’ve got it all planned out
💋
Which legendary u use for m+ ?
ive done all bosses in lfr for renown, can i still get renown from nathria in normal diff?
yes
pog
Heroic too
u can get 1 for every completed m+ too
I only need to do normal now
Dashing Scoundrel
I have a big fear that both 226 phial and Inerva ring will drop in next week's vault
grats
Can only recommend everyone to grind it, if you want to loose your soul
nah. I'm good lol. never even saw it once on Mythic or Mythic+
haha
good thing i got one week one
17 runs in total
I only had a 197 phial from months ago. No upgraderino
I only did 3 runs and got tired
Sounds about right tbh
ooo completing an m+ guarantees 1 renown? or just a chance
chance
chance for sure lol
guarantees
o.o
i mean, if you have like no renown then yeah
its gonna be almost every dungeon
it slows down the more you have tho
but idk which legendary to use on M+ fortifeid
Zold
what legendary should I use for tyrannical if I don't have the execute one? Just built a 225 Doomblade a few days ago and have Mark of the Assassin laying around somewhere in my bags
prob just doom then
mark is bad on ass
ok thanks
cause if ur running subter u wanna be garroting anyweayas
nah its not bad
seems logical
how is it not bad
it's good lol
how IS it bad? lol
lol
because ur garroting during that
oh no, my highest damage garrotes are critting!!!! pls no!
it ssuper bad 😄
??????????
isnt shiv tracked on wowlogs?
I hope you guys are trolling 
for assassination, does stat distribution > ilvl on offhand?
well my garrot crit is 2.5k
y sure, just asking a general question. i know sim has the truth but i have can't sim assassination rn
yo bois stupid question I'm an outlaw main and kinda want to dabble in assa in raids primarly for sludge shenaninges can you tell me if my stats need adjusting
more crit
aprox?
as much as possible if we're talking just sludge
Get at least 10 more stamina too
just sludge the rest i cba playing assa
why shiv doesnt get tracked on wowlogs?
what do i drop ?
Hey guys, some people were mentioning stealth break issues during m+. I also wanted to report that I were thrown out of stealth multiple times yesterday for no apparent reason. I had druids, mages and warriors in my party (so plenty speed and group buffs) and I were running with the Theotar trait that triggers when healed or buffed. Is there any additional information what is causing this?
Thx boi
had some issues dirng timewalkers as well and couldn't figure out why
From what I experienced any form of buff on the rogue applied from other players
blizzard is trash
it got fixed though
so new logs will show
Hello guys i swapped to venthyr yesterday and made it back to high renown, but i was wondering which soulbind is the best for M+ ?
duelist nadjia is very good, theotar wasteland otherwise
So the best way to avoid that bug is not playing the final trait from Theotar?
Nadjiaaaaa
btw @warped umbra i also noticed this bug during my m+ keys, i have no idea where it comes from
wait, is nadja overall better or just this week due to tyrannical
ah ty, was comparing opener on logs with the apl of raidbots
cause I'm running theotar rn
I thought of theotar as well
overall im pretty sure
i wasn't skeptical but i just made my doomblade and swapped over from MA
i think theyre close enough where you can just pick whatever one you like more tho, but since it is tyran she probably is a little better
the immediate DPS impact was ridiculous
overall
THEN i got my 30th renown point for nadja
duelist is just solid prio
is she better with exacting preparation or dauntless duelist in m+ ? also i guess lashing scar is the best conduit even in m+
Mistcaller Ocarina incoming
I switched from Kyrian to Vrnthyr and was able to get to 12 renown while fucking around, luckily it doesn’t look like it’ll take too long
what is the easiest way to get renown faster?
I ran LFR
spamming keys is pretty good
That gave me I think 4-5 pretty quick but I was pretty high
get some valor on the side
I'm 18 and i switched tuesday.
ty
Raiding, convenant story and callings
I did notice a big dps drop in my heroic castle numbers, but that’s probably due to conduits
So assa is the goto spec for raiding in general?
i got to like 22 in one casual day
getting from 22-28 has taken me 2 solid days of doing full LFR, normal, probably about 20 heroics, 5 mythics of varying levels
guy in my guild swapped monday night before servers went down, showed up to raid tuesday with 5 renown, by wednesday night he had 35

If you don’t play spriest boomie or afflock, yeah! 😝
Rogue 4 lyfe
spamming dungeons is very efficient, i swapped wednesday and i'm 35 rn
Then assa is sweet ST mate
everyone i've talked to this week has said that it feels like it slows down hard after 20, i'm wondering if they reduce the rate it can drop after 20 a week or something to prevent people from just swapping to all 4 in one week
Well, I'm doing better numbers than when I played outlaw in raid... and I don't have any conduits
@sturdy merlin maybe just bad luck then?
no it just actually slows down as you get more
that's by design
ty 🙂
Probably
yeah but 20/40 it felt like i hit a hard wall
If blizzard didn't change the renown cap we can theoretically go back to 40 this week
since you can go up to 38 without the 2 weekly renown quests
yeah i'm not turning in the 1k anima or souls quest til monday or til i hit 38
👍🏻
but it's been tough to get to 30
i still have a heroic full clear and hopefully 3 mythic bosses this week
but i only got 3 renown from lfr and normal combined
!guide
30 was the magic number though, no pressure now
and i got to make a doomblade, it'll be 2 more weeks before i can make the rank 4 but at least i have it now
i made shoulders, hopefully it'll be several months before i regret that decision heh
considering it took us 3 weeks to get huntsman i'm not hopeful for mythic SLG
jesus
someone who has changed from NF to Venthyr felt a big difference? Sims just shows 100 dps gain, but dont know how it really works in a boss fight and if it's worthy all the renown climb again
I miss echoing reprimand.
go to quick sim and see what it's doing and when
I swapped from kyrian to venthyr, and the energy is soooo nice
You get so much haste from venthyr
as of now we all would 😦
i miss steward more than echoing
If you are a minmaxer you should go venthyr
I prefer flag over sepsis and the style and story is also better imho
wares for YOOHOO
Are you playing with CT in tyrannical ?
Yeah, CT is good even for Tyrannical
I was messing with Doomblade though and Blindside to give decent ST for the damage sponges
Ty
Do you ever CT on single target? Or is it 2+?
Personally I don't CT until there's 4+
If there's 3 I just Mutilate and focus on keeping up Garrote on each target instead
CT is used on ST aswell
outside of shiv instead of envenom
really small gain though
Hm, interesting
Ive only been using it on ST below 30% hehe
not running poison bomb then?
Im talking about m+
Poison bomb only in raid
CT is too good not to run in any dungeon
oh okay missed that part mb
You CT single target to maintain, if you’re not in shiv
And I see that got answered
tried some assa in hc cn yday, feels weird compared to law, but decent enough dmg for my first try imo
I learned something new today
i feel like i'm missing something tho dunno
that C libraries are inherently unsafe unless you compile them yourself?
You rupture everything that lasts long enough, garrote everything that lasts long enough, CT everything that lasts long enough, envenom otherwise, cast everything on cooldown
that comic sans is the most beautiful font ever invented?
noob question from a non-english player.....whats ct?
crimson tempest
Crimson tempest
ah thank you
i did a DoS 10 to help a friend today and an IQD dropped for him
his trinkets were both 155
Can someone tell me when is it worth to use fan of knifes instead of mutilate?
many sads
4+
4 + targets
CT is used on any amount of targets
ok sry didn't see
like, you actually asked that question
WHILE we were talking about it
i kind of thought we were being punked
📹
Ok. I am getting some crazy and mixed opinions for Venthyr. People are saying it was nerfed again, some are saying it sucks and hits like a wet Noodle, but some are saying it hits super damn hard, but then some are saying it is about to be nerfed again. Just want to know before I even think about leaving my night fae covenant.
it's not convoke
rogue covenants aren't that varied
sepsis felt bad in general
(to me)
you're talking about like a 200 dps difference if your'e fully decked out in bis 226/233 gear on sims
and that's in ideal circumstances, in reality you're probably not going to see a 200 dps difference
just play what you like, unless you like kyrian
that's why i wanted to switch off because of how sepsis felt
then it's time to re-evaluate a lot of decisions in your life
i probably would have swapped off sepsis even fi it was even or a slight dps loss tbh
i was bored of NF after running it all expansion
and since we don't have a clear winner covenant i figured it was time to jump around
yeah i was kyrian then nf then i was thinking necro but i think imma go venth
Zoldyck if u wanna kill, doomblade if u wanna parse
@onyx wind i kind of feel like zoldyck might end up being the better parse for that fight anyways
Zoldyck every time
p1 is kind of a throwaway
granted, i haven't seen mythic sire yet
but that fight doesn't feel like you get to really put time into sire until p3 anyways
that's a relief to hear since i'm not making ANOTHER legendary
i hate torghast too much
i have all that minus zoldyck
Zold feels so bad to use in dungeons idk
swap for akaari's
I feel like MA would just be better right
wat
Crit with CT?
also wtf is your pfp, what did you do to Asmon
feeling-wise MA will often be better, especially when running with mages and hunters
@snow crag well this week is goofy fun
zoldyck feels less powerful when everyone is bursting through packs
MA should lose value the higher you go, no?
it's fun to run 2s and try to murder your partner with the flail
kinda
I mean I guess I shouldn’t complain about assassin in dungeons and just go play outlaw
i took potion in a 5man pug and ppl got killed by it 
depends on what you are planning to do as a team
i feel like if you're running zoldycks, the likelihood is that you're not there to clean up trash
I run MA to burst down prides
you're there for priority targets/bosses
But Zoldyck is made for AoE
dot everything and then get 30% damage on bleeds and poisons
i guess, but like you said, trash tends to go down fast
i haven't pushed past 17 this season though
doubt i even will
no real compelling reason to
what makes you deal damage is exactly the fact that you will be able to do the same damage, whatever the pack is
on 3 targets, you could do 7k+ without bursting
and on 8 + you'd be doing 12k without bursting
that's if your mates have no cds up
i guess what i'm saying, and this is a reflection of my own playstyle, is that if i'm worried about trash i'll go outlaw, if i'm sin i'll be thinking more about priority targets/bosses
That's the way yeah
I'm just a hard main sin
don't feel like playing ol x)
and i'd only run zoldycks over doomblade or MA if we're lacking an execute
since everyone else will be using CDs on pull most likely
yeah that's how i felt last expansion
i was so tired of outlaw after legion
the only fun part of outlaw for me in legion was the mage tower
i hated RTB spamming SO much
hey guys whats aoe rotation for assass?
hi i have a question rank1 guy didnt use any shiv is it normal ? His name is Passassin on warcarftlogs
I saw undad play pb in m+ yesterday
Shiv doesnt show on logs
Go to damage done instead of cast
And u will see it beeing used
hm okey ty
@sharp echo kudos for looking at logs though
When I sim pb and ct it only shows 100 dps difference in dungeon slice
CT is more fun in dungeons

yeah
but we're low on the totem pole
well, prior to tuesday
we'll see how things shake out
i don't anticipate a major shift in the rankings
our ret always gets it
from his gf priest
:p
the benefits of having a pockethealer
haha, so you're saying i need to start dating a priest
er... someone that plays a priest
boy that can be misconstrued
a man of culture i see
my last girlfriend HATED wow and video games in general
Haha it just turned out that way
She does enjoy Disc tho so it's a fair combo
it was a problem because i work in the video game industry
whoops
Oof
oof
and she wanted me to "get a real job"

Oh fuck that noise 
yeah, that was kind of the tipping point for the end
she did one of those jekyll and hyde things after the first year
Like if your job is paying well and it's taking care of your expenses just fine
PRETTY SURE THAT'S A REAL JOB
the intolerance against gaming as a hobby, job and artform is still pretty high in general oftenlabeling folks with the clice gamer label
*cliche
@strange python yeah
At some point there was a spreadsheet with how much all classes benefit from PI. Does anyone know if its updated and where to find it?
and it's hard af to break into the industry as an engineer
while folks of all ages play shit today
year 1 of the relationship she loved that i had a job doing something i was passionate about
year 2 "when are you gonna grow up and get a real job?"
damn
shiv into rupture 
im gutted by the cd on garrote
i would vanish only to wait for garrote to get off cd
Yeah I've, Shiv'd when I had 5 seconds left on Rupture, had me like this for the whole Shiv Window:

well i hit shiv by accident not paying attention to my WA for rupture
hold flag for vendetta right
is quantum device good for assas?
no
@shadow helm use it on cd
unless you aren't going to miss another cast
like, towards the end of a fight
If I go assa for mythic sludge....how much would i lie if i told my RL to give me PI-s as the best option ❤️
you wouldn't really be lying
haste is our best stat
we're very bursty
i almost said "busty"
hell, we're both
just pay 1k gold per pi ez
its the top council mythic log 
did the top parsing rogue actually get 5 PI

Yeah
well he could be way higher not playing vigor with all those pis
So thanks to all you guys and your advice. After raid tonight I will go Venthyr. I figured after 2 weeks of playing it, if Blizz does fucking nerf it or it sucks, I can go back to night fae.
i generally don't try to think about the padders up top
Well it's more, Sin is a good target if they're able to pad that hard in the first place
oh i agree that sin is a great PI target, especially for sludge
Y ea h I saw that
holy fk
just zoom in the graph on a few pillar dps windows and point out how the top dps in the raid is assassination and there's your argument for PI
holy shit
This man is carry the whole Arcane community on his back
again, pad guilds gonna pad
NICE PI
Guys, simmed myself, with doomblade, haste/vers is only 3dps more than crit/haste. Which so I choose?
whats the best lego for sin in m+ ?
Zold or MA, or alternatively Doomblade if you need more ST
it's a 3dps difference, are you really that paralyzed by that info?
Hey guys, I’ll be crafting zoldyk’s for mostly mythic+ and some heroic raiding. Do I put crit/haste on it?
I mean.....yes why do you hurt us
@gentle gyro dear god man
@velvet nacelle , lol, yes
i don't hate mists, but wow
plaguefall is probably my least run dungeon
no it definitely is
that and DoS
i still haven't finished a DoS above 7 haha
I did PF since reset to get the trinket
I got to 3.1k valor until i saw the trinket yesterday that's 23 runs
What's popping, blasters?
dang dude
23 fucking runs
