whats sbs again?
and it's funny to see poisons getting parried 
Silly bone spike
That seems like it shouldn't be possible
its wonky but fun
gonna try to reproduce it now
thats my verdict on being necrolord since wednesday
Hit the raider target dummy
they made flag not clunky anymore and then made sbs clunky in its place
idk if anyone else faces this but inerva is a god at parrying
very nice of them
ive had pulls on her where she will parry envenom (evis before i started raiding as assa) like 2/5 times
literally popped vendetta > shiv > envenom, parried, envenom, parried

would rather get deflected at this rate
it was at the same time with a melee swing
Isn't it just 15% base
but you can see there
for parry chance when facing boss
Show combat log
can't find parries
does demon hunter debuff increase our poison damage?
yes
I've had denathrius parry ghostly strike 2 times in a row on multiple occasions and its just the most shitty feeling ever

can garrote get parried
envenom parries are also triggering
I don't think so
i hope i never find out
I never experienced bleed applications getting parried so far
so I don't think they're actually capable of getting parried
stealth abilities cant be parried iirc
Crimson Tempest has, so that might get parried
i see makes sense honestly
back in the day when envenom got parried you would still get envenom buff
if it's 2 parts, then the instant could get parried, and the dot would go through
but I'm honestly not sure about the intricate details of parry logic
After a week of necro, itโs awkward even on outlaw.
since it's all fucking spaghetti
I think Iโll have to swap off it
I haven't tried any key with venthyr outlaw yet
Delete parry
in MA window
can spells still get resisted?

They should be able to
they can get
If parry is a thing, bring back elemental resistances
if my envenom can be parried i want to see a glacial spike get resisted
Oh no
is dauntless duelist worth to use in council?
yes
Fuck ranged
the debuff moves to a new target
when you kill the first one
nice
Enjoy doing 0 damage in plaguefall
not sure if it's intended
Fuck ranged, I outdps them in every key anyway
I'm pretty sure it is intended, it'd be pretty trash if it was only one per boss fight
yeah, I guess I was interpreting the tooltip wrong
Nah the tooltip doesn't say anything about reapplication so I get it
wait the debuff "moves" to a new target randomly or the next target you hit
ok cool
do you guys dot the other 2 bosses for energy regen on council?
I've never did it
and I just thought it might be a good idea
Just a garotte
wait wtf assi is actually top tier now at anything ST
looking through wclog rankings
we wish
Currently leveling as muti. Fire mage talking shit when we started, i doubled his damage overall and tripled it on bosses. Was hilarious

OUR TIME HAS COME BROTHERS AND SISTERS
we'll see better statistics over the next few weeks

don't check all percentiles
It's only going to get better as more people get high rank sin legendaries
do a 95 to exclude the PI fed logs
ah
still good on hungering!
Council doesn't exist
or sunking?
It's a fever dream
Sort by 'damage to bosses'
sin became really good kinda abruptly so as time goes on better sin rogues willget the right gear, and itll go up a little bit more
BRB CHANGING ROLE
is it worth to start gearing my 180 rogue (old main)? ;D
you know better
sludgefist
?
true, i'd still have to go through the hassle of get enough r.io on my alt to be able to pug 14/15 for gear/valor to upgrade.
crafting leges with haste crit or haste vers ??
If you have good io on your main and decent ilvl on an alt it's pretty easy to get into 14 pugs
the gearing progress up to 220 is not that bad
Buy a pvp boost -> get 220 -> profit
because you can upgrade +3 key gear to 220 if you really have to
you disgust me
I find gearing from 140-197 harder considering how much honor you need to get all honor gear
I'm selling them 
I've climbed 2k1 rbg on main
Just make a leather stack group for m0 
Imagine being disgusted instead of selling them and getting rich
isnt farming campaign gear fastest
actually true
that's honest work
I mean 1400 to 1800 2c2 is 1M
how do you get the renown
I've made 350k on m+ boosts this week
ye
yep
yep
it costs 100 a piece no? also some of them come at 197 already
pvp boosts are so expensive
WHAT
and if you have a low win rate, you are fucked
because you will get a bigger price
Earlier in xpac
can you buy the gear at any renown level?
a +10 armor stack is like 85k gold
dude
btw - am I crazy or is the venthyr campaign better and more fun to play then Nightfae?
boosting is free real estate man
Pretty sure its locked behind campaign progress so yes I think so
i need to start selling
I can't believe I ever actually farmed leather and picked herbs
But guys don't start dreaming
What a bunch of wasted time
Community who find you client take a huge cut
I should've just got my rio up and boosted
- advertiser take a cut
I would buy a boost to have this channel go back on topic
so, back to getting parried
Like for real it's just 1M to get 220 in one day
so much time saved
you don't even have to play
on alts i can understand it tbf
Yeah on alt
really, who?
though there are people going full boost on their mains
what is the opener for aoe with master assasin?
the same
joe
I thought it was bofa?
for campaign you need renown though
20th run for vial wish me luck 
are you sure it wasnt sawcon?
not even the ring looted
I got 36 in 2 days without finishing campaign

But you need ilvl to get to lfr 
exdee
ohh, you guys still farming phial?
true
Yeah
got it on first run but tank wanted it for dps spec !!!!!
that's after selling a couple phials on my DH
I've seen 3 phials this week
so he kept it !!! (kill me)
I need a pox man
there are 8 targets i you just do normal single target burst ? o.0 @hollow escarp
Ofc he did, he was probably only tanking it for faster picks lol
pre 9.0.5 phial sadge
https://i.imgur.com/OJNwhtb.png
I'm so tired of running pf, it's like sire kills now I know the whole dungeon by heart
Where my CDs come up
no, garrote 1, garrote 2, garrote 3

you said aoe
FOK FOK CT
but i am playing nightstalker with MA leg
ohh

FOK into CT still works no?
night stalker also works on bleeds, just saying
CT gets snapshotted with NS
yea but the garrote its not empowered at all
So you want to hold 5 cp and CT from stealth
Then fok rup fok rup
Toss a garotte in there
I wanna try nightstalker now lol
It's actually not that much worse than subterfuge
seems alot more fun than subterfuge
garrote damage in m+ is pretty good with Subt
it's usually garrote or CT top damage
Theotar, Master Poisoner 

gonna try this in some boost keys
Don't int your boosts 
but I usually wanna play safe and have good damage so I break this "sin is bad in m+" reputation
up to +12s ๐
or ToP
do we use elaborate planning now?
ah ok
Idk why but for me nightstalker sims like 130 more than subterfuge? I'm not complaining because getting Giga CT with MA and sub is funny as hell, watching my opener burst for like 12k
what is the better ST leggy DB or DS?
is sin viable in m+ compared to outlaw?
happens sometimes
really dont like outlaw aoe rotation
sin is good, doesn't beat outlaw as far as i know, but very solid
probs better ST on the bosses though right?
what is the better ST leggy DB or DS?
I mean the outlaw rotation is just stale bread to me. It's so basic the only thing mildly fun about outlaw is KS and MA but then you cuck your ST so hard sometimes I fine it not worth running...
yeah, i find multidotting way more fun
I beat our guilds outlaw on our huntsman kill and inerva kill so I was pretty happy about that, he beat me on Kael but if you aren't looking at boss damage on Kael then you are hard trolling
doomblade and scoundrel are in the faq
So I'm guessing when we can equip two legendaries it will be Doomblade (if it doesn't get nerfed ๐ค ) and scoundrel? Or would Zold have more synergy with DB
is it confirmed that we can equip 2 with 9.1?
No
doomblade + zold seems like it would be the play because execute is really powerful
but dashing + zold would be some giga dps probably
No but I'd be surprised if that wasn't part of the raid progression, like 'gather 200 shards of domination from these 3 bosses and then you will be able to equip two legendaries'
I really don't want to waste conduit energy to sim. I have to ask, is Sudden Fractures really as good as Hero damage says it is? Even on AoE?
It's good
Ran plaguefall with a venthyr outlaw, he was doing really good
good night folks - have fun
Venthy outlaw for keys yikers
yeah, imagine doing 200 less dps overall
min maxing off spec 
digusting
I say as I'm still nf and cant decide if switching is worth
Ambidexterity Theotar 
NF is still fine
I wouldn't have changed if Venthyr didn't sim 5% more for me
but I have nice assa gear overall
for assass single target swapping would be worth, but if youre doing m+ aswell
maybe not, up 2 u
id say, play what is most fun ๐
I'm not a high key andy

at least you had fun
playing for fun is what its all about ๐ ๐
well, they didn't nerf sub
was it ever better in pve
I think it was first weeks
i mean hasnt sub just been pvp class for ages now
Subbed 
I mean at this point, despite monk and dk I don't know why even try to play melee in raid environment
like what was the last tier where melee > ranged
holy fuck deeper stratagem feels so dogshit to play with
^ this
Just level 4 rogues so you have one in each covenant
same, sims higher but feels like shit, same with ghostly strike on outlaw for ST
why would sub get pi
Sub pi ? 
I agree about DS but my min maxing self won't let me take vigor even though it's only a 50 dps loss
never said first 5 seconds
it might sim higher, but can you play it in a way that gets you higher dps in reality?
i hate playing with deeper stratagem overall
it's only slow in the first few seconds
if it feels like shit ure prob playing worse with it, idk
you don't play Alacrity?
i hate having to use 3 generators to get to spend combo points
I found that if you are not Venthyr itโs not worth to run DS
The extra energy is way too big of a deal
you cast vendetta pretty soon anyway, and by the time it's done, you already have 5 alacrity stacks
Guildmate is NF and Vigor sim higher for him
for me, a venthyr, it's like +50 for ds
DS simmed better for me even when I was NF 
I think personally preference will make you play better even if something sims +50 dps higher by a robot
doesnt mean u will gain 50 in reality
Same here but still
Most of the times I get 2 and sometimes 3
deeper strat is good
i want sin to be as slow as possible
give me 30apm
25
let's go
Fair if you hitting like a truck
Is probably a beginner friendly talent
do most use subt or MA on m+?
i think vigor is def the beginner friendly one
Cuz spamming mut and envenom is not good
What's your crit % on envenoms btw
I feel like my dps is garbage or not bcs of envenoms crit
I think I have 25% crit on my raiding set
26% crit gang
35% in m+
23% crit andy 
Whispyr just simed it, it's ~30dps diff between spamming v pooling

no that's amazing
how much haste do you have kojack
how tf
Yeah Assassination is very forgiven
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/sylvanas/kojaak got the m+ gear on armory right now
needs more haste my man
it's fine for m+
so with venth conv now is our opener still the same as the pin?
I have stacks of gems in my bags just to change haste to crit whenever I switch content 
top m+ players don't really play sin
well I'm top 100 world, does that count? 
haste is more valuable single target
Changing covenants for 30 dps ๐ Not pressing buttons occasionally for 30 dps 
Ion was discussing about it on an interview
and also saying that Torghast is a source of inspiration for tier sets
I miss having to mix last tier and current tier
gah dayum
man i wish i'd gone crit/haste on my zoldycks 
how high are you guys spiking on your openers?
yeah with subterfuge i was regularly opening over 10k, switching to deeper and MA seems to slow down the opener quite a bit
sustain is a lot better so i'm not complaining
Where my 29.5% crit gang at?
just curious what other people were seeing
what's the opener with subt on m+?
10-15k
garrote 3 targets
10-12k here
or 4
ah k
so with venth conv now is our opener still the same as the pin?
pretty sure the pin is updated for the venthyr changes
ah ok it doesnt say when to use it XD
before rupture?
flag damage is based on cp spent, so using rupture after Flag is better
So, with Master Assa leggo, what does the opener look like in m+? Still just 3 garrote into rupt+CT?
so basicly just do the same except everything crits? ๐ feelsgood
Do you ever re-cast CT before the duration is gone?
depends on mob HP because you could pandemic the dot
but tbf, the gameplay is so hectic in M+ sometimes that I use CT just to apply it on some mobs that didn't get it yet
example the first room on Gorechop corridor in ToP
yeah thats what I felt during my runs now trying to learn assa, my trash damage was semi scuffed at times
like garrote x 3 into rupt and some fok->ct->more fok+rupt
refreshing it in pandemic is def preferred to letting it fall off
dont be afraid to drop 2-3cp ruptures into stuff
oh are we basicly using it for energy in aoe?
energy and damage
5 cp ruptures are often wasted because mobs don't survive 30 sec
you do get energy back
oh, so I guess just FoK and use rupt with however many cp's you got then huh
unless its bigger mobs ofc
even on bigger mobs it's not that bad because you can always reapply rupture in pandemic window
you will be more likely targeting bigger mobs anyway
so it will be easier to track dots on them
as a vulpera would you bag of tricks during vendetta?
still doesn't make those 1cp foks feel any better 
I only use vulpera for my bank toons on horde realms 
๐ฆ
not sure what bag of tricks does
it's the 4th highest simming horde race for sin
and i like foxes
Yeah you would cast with cds
ohh nice
a comment on wowhead says that the bag doesn't benefit from shiv or vendetta
basically a free trinket lol
might wanna check
wait what ? am i race swapping to vulpera ? 
im not sure if it would cause vendetta says "your abilities" but it's a racial ability so idk
only way to find out is to check it
its a gcd ^^
If you have to ask, no
here I am reassured
mechagnomes 



tbf, vulpera outlaw sounds interesting
reminds me of puss in boots from shrek
sure ๐
fuck it maybe I am a furry
Don't they have a secondary hearth as well?
master race
they have an "anywhere I want" hearth I think, just has to be used outdoors
the vulpera hearthstone can be used for changing talents or gear for last boss in DoS
while your team is running to the boss
broken
I swear I'm finding the most useless way to minmax 
idk where I'd ever put the camp for general practical use
but you literally can just put it anywhere you want as long as it's outside and return there on a 1hr cd
Perma checking wowhead right now wishing a SLG nerf so my guild do not disband like every mid tier guild

also there's different "tricks" you can get for the bag racial from old raid bosses
ragnaros and cho'gall are the two different damage ones, i forget what the other healing one is
I find Dena more challenging than slg tbh. Atleast with my guild 
recruiting is more challenging than all 4 last bosses imo
also vulpera have a pretty nice passive for m+ unironically lol
we will be 2 rogues on council prog tomorrow 
the first time you take damage from something it's reduced by 5% of your max hp
it's good for tanks as well
@hollow escarp Outlaw perf decent on Council
Even if no dps -- every man best racial imo
that racial saved me some cloaks on Xymox
oh it's best for tanks i imagine
TJ stop speaking about Vulpera. I hate that race and you start to make me love it ๐ก
lmfao
Just send slave dk to clear trap 
we don't have any
Yeah I do the same if its just 1 bad trap
Atleast as a rogue you arent a seed carrier like me and my hunt 
I don't mind seed carrying, I did some emergency ones
Rogue is most of the times backup for seed yeah
monk is main melee seed
outlaw rogue is actually really good for like a melee seed
yes
Wait you guys have melee seed carrier ?
i've never touched a seed, can you pop soulshape and whatnot?
yes
@radiant fossil we had a dh for melee one
Oh ez, all NF on seed duty then lol
but we have 3 mages, 3 hunters, it's easy to assign seeds
Well, we have only range seed carrier ...
outlaw rogues even on the hardest seeds just basically grappling hook towards the portal and thats pretty much it
Do trinkets work with Master Assasain talent?
no
First kill on xymox I was Law... cleared a huge string of traps with cloak hook... was 
Speaking about comp, we finally gonna get our first progress war 
ohh yeah
Finally 5% buff
You guys switched to sin for the rest of the progress ? or you still play outlaw ?
my most memorable moment with hook is using it on 2nd boss in MISTS to get to clone but I went through the fox and stunned 2 other players
Progressing on last 3 Boss i'm going sin for Sludge , outlaw for SLG, sin for dena
lmao, yeah hook is good times, step is ok but way less fun
step is fun on sub
@queen galleon sounds good for sludge and Dena p3
step in arena baiting someone to fall off a platform
I was playing Inerva + skulker on sludge first pull
then got back to vial
bcs i got bored of two on use
wait, thought dub use trinkets causes 20 sec cd, or just alternate on pillars?
been using skulkers + vessel for quite a while
Alternate on pillars
ah ok
You preuse inerva
like 20 sec before
so you have skulker on first inerva second skulker three etc
stacking inerva with people in raid sounds fun
Yeah, when people loot it and equip it 
we have 3 in raid so far
Hope they know about prepull using it
no idea, I'm not using it
I've just been running vessel/chain for fist, chain just seems to keep up pretty well. I'll try skulkers tuesday
I mean
that's not big of a difference
don't worry
I went back to vial for myself
Is it weird to deliberately hold envenom until full energy? I assume abilities apply poisons as well
To be able to throw the highest amount attacks while buffed from envenom
you mean shiv?
i think we are supposed to do that to max dps
you'd really only hold envenom for uptime on the debuff
I mean envenom
you should envenom with at least 80 energy, i believe
Idk what shiv does with conduits later Iโm still leveling lol
no need to pool more then that
shiv increases your nature damage on your target by a few % and a few more with conduit
So shiv then envenom then continue as usual
also I will once again implore anyone not to level in assassination until 37 lol
it's not a pleasant experience for sure
P sure you level as outlaw until you get mfd and/or shadow dance then you finish as sub
even speed runners used to level as outlaw
levleling as outlaw or sub feels way better, yeah
My haste is actually okay, the issue is no energy from bleeds until lvl 37
55 cost mut?!
you can't sustain aoe

soothing shadows is nice for uptime
my mut only costs 50 at 37 idk if rank 2 mutilate is a thing or when you get it
Actual same. I didn't even know sprint gave water walk as sub till a few nights ago
dont say glyph man
you're making me miss when heroic throw used to interrupt & silence lol
it was a artifact trait in legion for the sub weapons
also, immunity to fall damage
wait what it's only a sub thing?
Artifact trait for sub to make them take no fall damage too
which was amazing
oh man the immune to fall damage was so much fun
just randomly drop down from things
it was only for sub though
ah, I missed legion, started back up in 8.1 from Wotlk
i miss glyphs
gave inscription something to do ๐ฆ
i guess but aren't missives super cheap
guys how would you sim a m+ item you want to upgrade to 220?
supply and demand
depends on realm ig
ok i've been sleeping on crimson tempest
i admit it, i knew it was "good for aoe" but i didn't really think it was THAT good for aoe
you can create an item in gear compare
on raidbots
Run a droptimizer with 220 gear
Tool tip doesn't do CT justice
@nocturne hawk it really doesn't
!guide
now i gotta add a weak aura for CT to track the timer. LIFE IS SO HARD
well hopefully leveling in sin feels 100000x better with venomous wounds
It wonโt lmao
it should
i actually have a reason to rupture/garrote in aoe
Sin leveling is depressingly bad
i mean you'll feel venomous but it's not gonna be significant
It got buffed by 1
people level as sin?
You wonโt notice it
people usually buy level 50 boosts nowadays 

not having it sucks ass there's almost never a reason for me to press rupture unless im fighting a boss
Are you actually leveling sin
I would level as Sub 110% of the time
yes
Before you have venomous wounds
if you have heirlooms, swap to outlaw now
Leveling as law sucked too before combat potency lol
i dont have outlaw looms lol
Sub has teleporting Shadowstrike, that's all you need to know ๐
I don't get people level in anything other than sub
Well only 1 non-dagger
teleporting shadow strike and sustain with regen in stealth
Soothing Darkness is kinda op yeah
tbf, leveling sin will make you appreciate it at max level 
so you won't be the guy that complains it's too slow anymore
I did level my first rogue as sin when I started in cata
suffered enough!
and I refused to use envenom because i thought it'd get rid of my poison buff
and i'd have to reapply my poisons on my weap
combat ๐
i played combat rogue a bit in mop and that was the height of my rogue experience
everything about combat felt nice
massive burst, massive aoe, massive aoe burst
iirc combat potency was something you could control and wasn't rng based like roll the bones supposedly is
or was
idk i haven't played outlaw lol
yep it stacked every time you casted sinister strike
so you could control when you'd go into red
all i remember was "get red CP and evis and 1shot an add"
fun times
lemme rephrase that
get red CP, revealing strike, evis, 1 shot whatever you touch
sin leveling was a cake walk
can anyone look over this and help me with what i can improve on? most of my other fights ive been improving but,,
revealing sin sin evis boom
I mean Sub has been the easiest leveling spec ever since the teleport was put in since with Heirlooms or good weapons there have been multiple xpacs where you literally just one-shot everything and restealth lol
But leveling is always pretty easy
i kinda wish there was a talent that made shadowstep refresh on kill
That'd be nice
DKs have grip refresh
Sounds like a glyph to me
and warriors have double charge
๐
survival has harpoon reset
that'd be fun and thats not allowed
lol
best we get is a 2nd charge as sub
that would give rogues insane mobility in BGs though so idk if that would be okay
would it?
Rogues donโt get nice things
I'm about to lvl another rogue just to farm BF pants faster... rag hates me for the last 12 weeks
rogue only gets spaghetti code 
Rogue had 1 nice thing and it was disgusting in arena
And that's why we don't have it anymore
I miss burst of speed
I would start with improving uptime on bleeds. 81% rupture and 77% garrote is pretty low. Also use Mutilate instead of Ambush. Only use Ambush if procs from Blindside.
haste crit for doomblade leggo ya?
Haste crit gang
On fights like Council, do we FoK for CP / keep bleeds on others for energy and just dump envenoms etc into prio target? Or... is there something else to do there?
think sin is worth it on SLG for prio damage?
just garrote on the other targets for council
^ just garrote no rupts
Is gloomblade leggo a low drop rate?
@strange python i dont think so. Sin isnt a great funnel spec. I mean you will do damage to goliath and boss but other class do the same and cleave better. Unless you did giga damage, outlaw will win this fight
No
I think itโs 100%??
yeah was looking at logs and lookds like outlaw is the play there
don't remember where it drops from
Itโs from torghast
Must be 100 at layer 8
Just go on group finder dude and find a layer 8 group
Or make one and blast
yeah but I can just stealth to the last boss on 3
I did it with 4 rogues and a resto Druid we stealthed the whole way through
i thought it was 100%
@strange python Logs are cool to follow but if you want to play sin on slg you can. But only if you do good and do the job. If you can nuke goliath on demand, you have a spot.

well im NF and feel like to get the most burst from sin i would want to be venthyr
could be mistaken though
If your guild doesnt struggle with aoe and cleave for skirmishers, you can play sin and do the single target job.
only had one night of progress and we lost out WW monk so not sure how its gonna go tuesday haha
Oof
so ill prob be in for the monk
Make us proud
ill try my best haha ๐
ToP. MA or Doom ?
To many plaguefalls
Do some mists for the dagger to break it up
I finally got keystone tonight feel good. Really tough slog today trying to get spires 15
grats!
is it worth trying to throw a bleed on shades in p1 of sire?
or just FoK and focus boss
do your best sub impression and fok>envenom
my raid always has to stop dmg till last soak for the run
Are we speaking mythic or heroic here
sin is extremely good at funneling right?
Anyway even in Mythic it's kinda hard to throw bleed on shade so just Fok -> enve
@hexed root i made the doomblade leggo for pvp before patch
ive only been playing sin since the beginning, got daggers and ahvent gottenw eapons for anything else
i got it my first run
i am never playing assa lol
it should be 100%, you might already have it
After opener we just use Flag on CD or do wait for it to line up with vendetta reset? on cd right?
naw i dont
I personally line up with all but dunno if itโs correct
sure, I'm just saying outside the opener, I've been holding it till vendetta resets again, but wasn't sure if I was wasting a use on fights doing that
1.5 min
yea, wait the other 30s
for vendettra on 2nd'
having it with vendetta will give u most CP
yeah that's felt right, but figured I'd check
depends on fight lengt.
_Everything below 4:30 you can delay Flagellation to sync with vendetta
_For fight between 4:30 and 6:00 you basically use Flag on cooldown and delay last vendetta to sync with last Flag at 4:30
_For fight >6:00 you gotta use everything on cooldown and they sync naturally at 6:00 marker
so, very few instances where u dont just hold vendetta
yeah, but it also depends on the fight itself
nvm miki got it lol
Like sometimes even if a fight is a 8mn fight, you can rather see it as 2 consecutive fights of like 5mn and then 3mn
So you might want to sync the cooldowns even if it means you might loose a cast at some point, just because you want to push phases
This happen a lot in real world situation
One example could be Azshara, even if you might end up loosing a cast syncing, you still would want to sync so that you have both CD avaiable starting phase 3, and then again starting phase 4 etc...
In short, can it always be better to lose a cast and ensure maximum stacks with vendetta?
Progression wise : Yes
Pure dps wise : Probably better to never sync
do we go familiar perdiciments because the potency conduit out performs exacting preperation?
Also I would heavily recommend you to check out logs and video of a given fight before starting a progression and adjust your cooldown regarding.
Try to get any PoV, look if you can fit your cooldown in a given order, if it appears there is a mechanics happening or that you want to push DPS later, then adjust. It's the very best way of dealing with a new encounter, it can save you a big chunk of pulls if everyone do this in your raid.
Is it normal to lack energy when doing new opener with Venthyr, DS Sin build? Find that after mut>snd>mut i have to wait before the next steps
Gotta use Thistle Tea in the opener
edit : it's a joke !!!
lol i wish
it's normal and fine doing so
Okay cool thought maybe i didnt have the haste for it
You can swap SnD and Rupture if you wish too, that should not have any impact on the overall dps and might feels a bit better, but you'll still starve a bit before 4th global
Was one thing I was curious about aswell....see alot of top parsing sin rogues using ds over vigor
alot of times i do the rupture before dns
snd
i guess it would help to look at high parse sin rogue logs
havent done that at all.
with just now getting to doing sire more, this is where im noticing my drop in dps
Most of them are pretty even on certain talent choices
Parses are tainted by encounter rng unfortunately
+12-14 keys averaging like 4.5k dps
you could possibly see someone doing wrong but parsing high because he got blessed by rng
stone legion and sire im dropping off
Opener usually are very marginally impactful on your overall performance, if it has any impact at all
my boss damage in keys, not the overall including CT and all that
I'm guessing cuz the dmg amp from doomblade makes ds the better play? Just without flag buff I feel like u will be hella starved...but I havent tested ds in raid yet
im gonna try DS now, i havent been using it at all
energy is hard enough as it is atm
Oh I didnt see the updated pin about ds...but yeah I did heroic tonight but ran with vigor almost the entire time. Guess I'll try ds out next time
this week's torghast power is fun
what is this week's torghast power?
Demon Hunter Simulator
Screen goes black either on a cooldown or after every 5 kills, depending on which one you pick.
Gives tons of damage boosts and stuff but literally can't see unless you're a haxxor like me.
There's a toy that makes your screen all funny
And it removes the darkness
Think it's called like scroll of storytelling? I forget. Some of other things might do it too but yeah if you use that it removes the darkness all the time as long as you refresh the toy.
Oh the one that makes your screen try to look like its a story on parchment
^
Yeppo, it removes the darkness visual, but you keep the bonuses.
Super cheese that'll no doubt be fixed eventually. lol
lol smart though
as a guy who has played outlaw almost exclusively in M+ since legion
how big is the difference between necro and vent sin ? should i change my covenant ? : S im necro btw, venthyr ability looks nice
assassination is hella fun
venthyr is nice because it's fire and forget basically
use it inside of vendetta and when you're about to spam finishers and that's about as much thought as you have to put into it
i dropped about 500-1k overall dps in m+ but i do so much more single target right now
somewhere between 2.5% and 3.5%. Necro has a much better damage pattern tho, you can use to build from 30y and the dots keep ticking in long (and short as well ofc) downtime period while venthyr can end up loosing a lot of value in heavy movement encounters. And Necro has a better cleave composant as well.
and i'm sure i'll get some of that dps back once i get more used to the trash rotation
i keep letting snd drop because i'm focused on CT and spreading ruptures
For now I'd say that Venthyr is the go, but it's possible depending on the shape that will take the next raid, that Necro might be better.
i see.. yeah ure right. i think necro is better for M+ for example
Necro is particullary good in a scenario like "Spread target cleave" because it allow you to funnel more ST damage from spread targets SBS'd, where you can't really get any benefit aside from maybe 1 or 2 additionnal dot with other covenant
If a fight like is a thing is the next raid, and if it's an important encounter then it's possible that Necro could be the play.
i'm going to laugh very hard if sin funnel becomes a thing
I mean it's not really giga funneling
but it's still additionnal ST damage + cleave
where in such situation other covenant are basically ST
yeah was watching that on w.logs, all the sins are venthyr for that ST damage i think
^^ ty for all of your advices btw
The encounter design of the next raid will be interesting for sure
yeah, but about spread tarrget cleave ... hum it's also worth to mention that in such fight you might see some boomkins and warlock insteed of rogues ๐
Regardless it seems like a fun concept, funneling more damage into a target with big CP but cheap energy sbs
we really wont know anything
its next tier...
blizzard could just be like "fuck ass rogues in the ass" and nerf us to zero dps
ok i think the reason i dislike DS so much is cause i have 13% haste
yer doom be at hand
Don't even speak this into existence 
its happening
Stop
Delete this now
I won't be switching I'll tell you that much

Venthyr forever
I mean, clearly the design intent is to have players rotate between covenants every 6 months. Lol
I was og venthyr, I just was waiting for it to not be complete dogshit
Necrolord since day one. Sometimes you have to embrace being a roleplayer
I made my rogue necro and I feel like Iโm too stupid for this
Trying to SBS shit is taxing my smooth brain
have to say tho, venthyr building flag stacks is pretty fun
I'd just like to see ranged get fukt next raid and we can just sit there and kill a target dummy
The soulbinds are still a clown fiesta but I can deal with it because flag is fucking badass
I might switch to venthyr just for ease of use
i runo, venthyr to me is like my fav, but necro tells me...it is better D:
its ok, they will give venthyr shit soulbinds in next tier
and we all go kyrian
I only do mythic plus, I should play outlaw but I just have a hard time enjoying it
My logic is that if people want real aoe they'll just bring hunters and boomkins so I'm not going to optimize for aoe
see...i m+ a lot...so necro is better right?
I came back to retail wow because prepatch sub was awesome and I really enjoyed it. Hit 60 and sub became a bottom spec and I couldnโt keep up with my friends
bursting pride and bosses down is fun tho
that's how it is
I'm curious what next seasons affix will be
maybe its anti aoe affix
so no more aoeing everything down
OR
its jailer themed
Druids in shambles
