lol

shadow tangle
#

I think next will be every 20 percent one person gets MCed

nocturne hawk
#

And vanish wont work on it

ebon bramble
#

you pull 3 packs

#

3 ppl cc'd

#

what do

stoic needle
#

Cry

#

I could definitely see some cc affix

ebon bramble
#

🤔 still debating

#

switch to necro or no...i feel like i should wait for 9.1

#

i dnt want to do the "REGAINING TRUST" stuff

stoic needle
#

That's the easiest part though

ebon bramble
#

well ya

nocturne hawk
#

1 person MC'd would be a fun one... and the mc gives ya a dam boost so you'd become a miniboss

ebon bramble
#

but if i dnt switch

#

i have free switch right now XD

nocturne hawk
#

so grp can blow CD's before it happens, and not have for actual boss... or risk it

willow eagle
#

If you're done with progression imo it's a good time to switch and farm renown for other covenants in case you really need to swap in the future

stoic needle
#

I bet it's gonna be some shit like

#

Every 20% a new debuff gets put on your party

#

+50% casting speed

#

-50% attack speed

#

25% movement speed slow

#

They wouldn't overlap they'd just change

nocturne hawk
#

or jailer sends 3 dudes to hunt you before next 20%

#

🥱

ebon bramble
willow eagle
#

In terms of covenant power?

ebon bramble
#

ya

willow eagle
#

Well

ebon bramble
#

you never knw

#

they might just screw it all up

#

i guess for now

#

venthyr is decent enough XD

#

aitn no necrolord but we i like the theme

stoic needle
#

Nothing wrong with being one of the best st dps specs in the game lmao

ebon bramble
#

ya but its aoe centric game tho D:

willow eagle
#

I think establishing a good base for all covenants by fully unlocking all soulbinds is a pretty safe bet. Even if they add a new system on top you already save the hassle of refarming renown from scratch later on.

ebon bramble
#

they again i think someone mentioned necro doesnt really add aoe XD

cunning surge
#

We're still the kings of Boss Damage

stoic needle
ebon bramble
#

just mostly cleave? ranged cleave?

stoic needle
#

It's somewhat cleave, but the main benefit of necro is cheap cp

#

15 energy for 3cp

willow eagle
#

If I understand correctly you wanna slot in as many envenoms as possible during shiv right?

stoic needle
#

I mean sin is arguably better for every boss in CN right now except slg so like

#

What aoe centric game are we playing again? Lmao

final star
#

I'm enjoying assassination in keys atm

stoic needle
#

Aoe is padding more often than not

final star
#

It's big fun on tyrannical

#

You can do competitive enough aoe overall

#

Bearing in mind the mage is giga under geared btw

stoic needle
steady owl
#

what legendary are you playing there?

tropic echo
#

is that like

#

a 50 second pack?

final star
#

MA

tropic echo
#

or a 15 second pack lol

final star
#

It's 8.19M overall damage

stoic needle
#

That's overall

final star
#

🙄

tropic echo
#

oh dur

stoic needle
#

Ngl that outlaw should be dumpstering you on overall

tropic echo
#

fire mage aoe is insane so his dps is honestly represented in his gear if he's undergeared

ebon bramble
final star
#

No

#

I am venthyr

nocturne hawk
#

outlaw KEKL

ebon bramble
#

y u gotta do me like that

stoic needle
#

MA/KS is literally the only reason I'm interested in playing law atm lol

tropic echo
#

opinions on DfA in open world lol

final star
#

I'll play outlaw on fortified

stoic needle
#

And outlaw is a bit better for boosting if the buyer is totally inting

steady owl
#

how do you open on aeo though? triple garrote still?

stoic needle
#

Sin actually pumps on fortified too tbh

final star
#

I use nightstalker

stoic needle
#

The mobs live long enough for the dots to go brr

tropic echo
#

nightstalker uwot

nocturne hawk
#

Is MA/KS the law play now, no more Cel/BR?

final star
#

:)

#

Nightstalker indeed

stoic needle
#

I think they sim similarly for some people

#

But I will play KS just because it's more fun

final star
#

Having snd up already

stoic needle
#

Idc

final star
#

And opening with mfd + CT

stoic needle
#

CT from stealth with NS 🥜

final star
#

Is big pog

stoic needle
#

I'm gonna try that next fort week

nocturne hawk
#

I did really like the charge with BR, save that hook cd

stoic needle
#

If you're charging with br you probably aren't cleaving with it

#

Its kinda weird

final star
#

You don't burst in aoe anywhere near outlaw

tropic echo
#

idk i feel like id rather multi garrote FOK CT

final star
#

But you do twice the boss dps

#

And that's fax

stoic needle
#

CT snapshots with NS

tropic echo
#

im aware

stoic needle
#

It's absolutely the play if you're using NS

final star
#

CT nightstalker bangs

tropic echo
#

of course

im saying i wouldnt use NS lol

stoic needle
#

subterfuge is better overall but NS isn't that far behind

tropic echo
#

id rather run sub

stoic needle
#

It's like 1%

#

It's a lot worse on ST though

tropic echo
#

CT doesn't give energy right

stoic needle
#

Nah

final star
#

No

tropic echo
#

yeah id much rather have subterfuge then

final star
#

But you CT > Fok > Rupture> Fok > Rupture

#

With MA

tropic echo
#

garrotes thoo

stoic needle
#

5cp ruptures tho

final star
#

Yup

#

As well as a 5CP CT

tropic echo
#

why not both smilehehe

stoic needle
#

Ma is 4s so you get 2 5cp ruptures

#

Ma subterfuge is kinda weird

final star
#

Yup

stoic needle
#

It's good but it feels weird

final star
#

MA is the reason I run nightstalker

#

Over subterfuge

#

If I was running zoldyck I would prefer subterfuge

stoic needle
#

I've been running doomblade this week

#

It's pretty legit actually

#

I wonder if the doomblade dot snapshots peepostudy

tropic echo
#

ah yeah im probably not gonna run MA

random question, what happens to all the covenant item sets and transmog if you switch covenants?

#

are they still accessible?

final star
#

No

stoic needle
#

You can't use them :)

ebon bramble
#

or they delete it?

#

oooo

final star
#

You keep them

#

Can't use them

#

Or use as tmog

ebon bramble

rip

#

lol

#

i like the mog D:

Anyone here necrolord assassin? If so.. how ya liking it?

ebon bramble
#

but amazing skill tho

stoic needle
#

Imagine flying around on a literal poop fly

ebon bramble
final star
#

just to show that NS is actually ahead for me slightly, but roughly equivalent to subterfuge

ebon bramble

Shitty...

did a parse run with my guild tonight, almost all 90+ on everything with a few 99's aPeepoCheer

stoic needle
#

Pog

ebon bramble
#

im surprised tho, dungeon slice shows venthyr as top.

#

fake news?

stoic needle
#

No, single target is a large part of dungeon slice

ebon bramble
#

oshosi, stop meddling with the sims

stoic needle
#

And haste is good in aoe too

final star
#

it's more than just damage after all

stoic needle
#

I wish I had control over raidbots

final star
#

energy regen in aoe really matters for assassination

ebon bramble
#

you venthyr blood suckers dont knw the power of throwing boners at the enemies

stoic needle
#

Have fun with your boners

#

I'll be over here at my goth tea party

ebon bramble
#

lol

final star
ebon bramble
#

man venthyr theme so good. blizzard did a great job with them XD

stoic needle
#

I think all of the covenants have good themes even if I don't like them equally

ebon bramble
#

does necro bonespike stack on the same target?

#

infinitely?

stoic needle
#

The damage doesn't go up but you get more CP I believe

ebon bramble
#

oh

#

no infinitely stacking DoT?

#

D:

#

im disappoint

!guide

stoic needle
#

Why do y'all wanna crash the servers so bad KEKlaugh

tropic echo
#

i thought the dungeon slice thing was garbage and should never be used

#

thats what i was answered with last time i wanted to sim it

final star
#

For any other class

stoic needle
#

Where do you people hear this shit

final star
#

It's not perfect

stoic needle
#

No not even for other classes

#

There's like maybe 2 classes with bad aoe APLs

tropic echo
#

is one of them fire mage

#

/mage

stoic needle
#

No

tropic echo
#

p sure that was where i asked

stoic needle
#

It's warlock FeelsWeird

#

Dungeon slice is great for rogues because we have fantastic TCs and a banger APL

tropic echo
stoic needle
#

They're just wrong

silent remnant
#

!bis

stoic needle
final star
#

The main downside to it is it is hard to model all key levels

shy dust
silent remnant
#

!guide

shy dust
#

For most specs

final star
#

If only we could put our own values in for pack size and length without having to fuck with it yourself

shy dust
#

We are an exception

#

Not the Norm

final star
#

the only reason it's valuable to rogue, and probably feral by extension, is because of restealths

stoic needle
#

Idk man I pretty clearly remember fuu and koji saying that it's not that bad for most specs

shy dust
#

I mean

#

It’s bad for hunter warlock mage

#

Just off the top of my head

balmy condor
#

They don’t handle time to death or add waves

stoic needle
#

Fairly what

final star
#

When have you ever had a pack of 1-3 mobs that lasts longer than 4-6 mobs

stoic needle
#

especially after a boss fight where you have no cd's

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Oh

balmy condor
#

Have you looked at warrior or shaman apl?

stoic needle
#

Why do other specs have such bad apls pepehmm

balmy condor
#

It’s an icyveins priority list on wheels

final star
#

cos their tc is bad

stoic needle
final star
#

DK's btw

final star
#

I think dslice would be better if you could just choose the values

fallow otter
#

But yehhhh don't just take dslice on its own as a way to choose gear

final star
#

cos it being static like that is unrealistic

fallow otter
#

It's an ok guide

final star
#

but it's the best way to gauge restealth value

stoic needle
#

It's a tool, just like every other sim

final star
#

especially with a good apl

stoic needle
#

Just like pure patchwerk represents absolutely zero fights in any raid

balmy condor
fallow otter
#

It's not useless information, and will help those that have no idea alot

balmy condor
#

This is enhance apl

#

Just BTW

#

It’s actually just a priority list

final star
#

NF shaman sims giga

#

but inactually

#

in actuality*

#

it's not viable in practice

stoic needle
#

I guess we are lucky then

balmy condor
#

We are

#

We have a lot of good people that work hard to make our sims as accurate and optimized as possible

final star
#

can say with confidence that rogues are the only class that I would recommend dslice lol

balmy condor
#

And with simulationcraft being an entire passion project, that is rare

#

Warrior TC is always looking for people

#

Warlocks are a little shambly

#

Shamans are a little light handed

final star
#

"light handed"

#

afk you mean

balmy condor
#

All TC’s do good work

#

They don’t get paid a single cent

#

For the work they do

final star
#

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's good work still

#

You're just being switzerland

balmy condor
#

No, I’m being appreciative of people using any amount of their time on a hobby

#

That helps others

#

And gives the community a resource to use

ebon bramble
#

hey whispyr if you dnt mind me asking, what was your reasoning for going venthyr?

fallow otter
#

He missed being red

#

Green sucks

balmy condor
#

My dungeon group needed a venthyr

fallow otter
#

That doesn't sound correct

balmy condor
#

And I like the ability

fallow otter
#

@ebon bramble what's your favourite type of rum

ebon bramble
#

i dnt really have one

fallow otter
ebon bramble
#

i chose mount gay cause you know, am also gay 🤣

#

made sense

subtle tundra
#

hey also gay

#

im varas

ebon bramble
#

o hi

fallow otter
#

Im not gay but Hi anyways

#

I just don't wanna feel left out

fathom swift
#

rogue is way above average for number of people actively working on it

fallow otter
#

Lock is basically a baron wasteland from my experience

#

Monk is good for the amount of players

balmy condor
#

I’m fairly sure Rogue TC’s also just have more time spent in general I think

#

Koji works on like 5 APL’s

#

Out of the goodness of that sexy man’s heart

final star
#

Its the difference between fine tuning and the bare minimum

#

Bare minimum is more than anyone can ask for free

balmy condor
#

There is no bare minimum buddy

willow isle
#

Does anyone use FoK talent is last row?

balmy condor
brittle pawn
#

Memers, dreamers, key depleters

final star
#

A simple priority based list is the bare minimum for a sim to work

#

So there surely is a bare minimum

balmy condor
#

Bare minimum for it to work

#

It doesn’t have to work though

I feel that Sudden Fractures is much better than I would've given it credit for. Hm.

#

Am I kookoo for cocoa puffs, Whispyr? I was testing some PTR stuff and a 213 SF sims within like 10 DPS of a 213 WPS (Patchwerk, in 2 target it's like 200 DPS better or something silly)

#

Thank you

cunning surge
#

No problem!!

glad garden
#

have they updated the dps charts for the week since the sin buffs last patch?

cunning surge
#

I'm fairly certain, we have them in the pins iirc

glad garden
#

awesome i'll give it a look was hoping it overtook outlaw and a few other classes

final star
#

It has in single target

cunning surge
#

Yeah we kinda pulp in single target now

glad garden
#

thats all everyone cares about for us anyways XD

#

if your are bringing a rogue along for aoe your not playing to win from the get go 😛

final star
#

There is a reason why rogue is in every top key rn

glad garden
#

single target and CC

final star
glad garden
#

does sin's aoe atleast become viable to make it compete with outlaw overall yet?

cunning surge
#

Yeah like Outlaw is nice for M+ don't get me wrong
But I think Sin will overlap it in overall speed on Tyrannical weeks

#

I don't think so
Like it's good, it can carry itself, but Outlaw's cleave and aoe is just rediculous in comparison

glad garden
#

im about to make my 235 lego so wanting to make sure it's back to respectable before i waste the gold swapping back over from sub which seems to have fallen off a cliff.

cunning surge
#

Oh yeah, Doomblade is solid as hell for overall damage

glad garden
#

im still iffy if i ever want to play outlaw i refused to play combat or any related spec after Wrath.

cunning surge
#

Zold and MA is better for M+ tho

glad garden
#

oh so Doom isn't the #1 leggo right now for sin?

cunning surge
#

Oh it is

#

For ST

#

Like Doomblade does more overall damage in raid, but Zold still see uses for Prog kills and Sire because of how important execute phases are this tier

glad garden
#

Well dang not sure which to start with now

tired thistle
#

Ok am i reading the rotation right we open with mut and not Ambush? is that just because the ability for Mut to crit twice thus doing more damage or is that a typo?

balmy condor
#

Doomblade is honestly fine

cunning surge
#

Doomblade isn't a wrong pick, I would start with Doomblade personally

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

tired thistle
#

Ok makes sense to me thank you

cunning surge
#

Wait we use Ambush during Sepsis proc??
I thought it was only during Blindside

balmy condor
#

Well

#

Technically we use it during sepsis

#

But not anymore with doomblade and stuff

#

Koji gave in earlier

cunning surge
#

Gotcha gotcha

balmy condor
glad garden
#

how many ppl swapped to venthyr with the lashes thing getting buffed?

cunning surge
#

A large chunk

balmy condor
#

I swapped to venthyr regardless of that conduit

cunning surge
#

I stayed Fae personally but it's hard to ignore the Flag rework

glad garden
#

i just got maxed renown tonight in arden so i can probably swap covenents at this point

#

but lord do i hate the venthyr area

tiny thunder
#

I've been venthyr since day 1 and I'm glad it finally paid out. Tbe only problem is I still sometimes press flag again at the last second of the ramp up phase.

glad garden
#

i feelk with flying it might be ok

lavish pulsar
#

for sludgey we use vendetta at 0, 2nd pillar, and 4th correct?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

If you’re doing 3, you would pop 1 and 3

lavish pulsar
#

i'm assuming we'll hit 4. unless there were some very cool mythic nerfs 🙏

glad garden
#

Whisp do you got a link to your armory i want to check a few things out on it to make sure im setting everything up right while swapping to sin.

balmy condor
#

I assure you I’m not very impressive xD

glad garden
#

were rogue are any of us O.o

balmy condor
#

Let me get you a link real quick

glad garden
#

kk ty

fallow otter
gray fjord
#

For sure, I know M,M is generally not all that great but with doomblade it seems much closer, though really it doesn't seem like there is an insane difference between WPS/M,M/LP anyhow.

#

Think like 30 DPS at worst or something in patchwerk. xD Not like losing Count the Odds vs Triple Threat or anything crazy.

Hey guys, quick qn. Assuming SnD falls off going into a pull of 3-4 mobs. When do you guys refresh? Anecdotally I find that for 14-15s, they generally die quick enough that taking time to reapply the buff is kind of a dps loss

fallow otter
#

There a CT spender breakpoint khisp?

glad garden
#

Whisp it's a good thing i looked yours over that talent tree is completely different than the guides. i would have been way off on things lol

balmy condor
fallow otter
#

Well back when it was like 8mobs it something

balmy condor
glad garden
#

oh wait your is setup for multi target

balmy condor
#

yes

glad garden
#

i was looking at the single setup

vivid tulip
#

@balmy condor thanks!

glad garden
#

so nvm only difference now is the vigor and mfd which i don't feel is that serious either way

fallow otter
#

At some point back in the day the initial dmg of CT just made it a good spender, is that dead? I'm def assuming it is but still interested

balmy condor
glad garden
#

for myth i feel vigor is better for single fightinf and questing i feel mfc might be.

balmy condor
#

mfd is almost surely better with venthyr in keys

halcyon fulcrum
#

!bis

balmy condor
#

but I can't be fucked to use mfd :P

#

too lazy most of the time

balmy condor
glad garden
#

o well this is a good starting place and i can ease back into sin again starting tomorrow after work. i got 2 days off after that to toy with everything.

#

4:30 am here and work comes early so im out for the night yall have a good one

balmy condor

you too man

MfD is so good for keys for me

Opening with a NS boosted CT helps

MfD is rly good on outlaw/sin atm

final star
#

Target prio target with mfd for the easiest resets

vestal wren
#

not sure if it stays in that spot for a bigger part of the xpac,
it usually tends to fall off with more borrowed power systems or higher gear levels

I'm running MA legendary + NS + MfD

I am happy that assassination finally sees some play tbh

lament mica

final star
#

It's great on tyrannical compared to outlaw

#

But I know I'm definitely gonna prefer outlaw for fortified

native lynx
#

I won damage for the first time in mythic CN with assassin

final star
#

The upkeep on longer packs for assassination is a headache

subtle tundra
#

i mean

native lynx
#

on darkvein and on xymox

subtle tundra
#

assa isnt good on tyra

#

cause mobs die fast

#

so its hard to ramp

final star
#

Hmm

subtle tundra
#

and outlaw single target is not much lower than sin

native lynx
final star
#

An addon

#

Called details covenants

native lynx
# lament mica congrats!

thanks! feelsbad though, because I won damage and it was still an overall blue parse. I was like..wtf mate

final star
#

Outlaw single target when they run KS + MA is definitely lower than assassination

subtle tundra
#

but you dont always play ks

#

and MA on 2 min bosses isnt much lower than celerity

#

what if in those keys you send screenshots from the mage was geared

#

and pumping dmg

final star
#

Then everyone would do less damage

#

But it doesn't change the viability of assassination on tyrannical

subtle tundra
#

my point is that the packs would last a lot less

final star
#

When you are the top boss damage

lament mica
#

in m+ aoe damage still matters more than doing a little more boss damage

#

ass is perfectly viable in m+, no1 is disputing that, but I agree that outlaw is overall better on tyrannical or otherwise

final star
#

Packs still last long enough in high keys to do 6-12k dps depending on pride etc

subtle tundra
#

oh well

#

i should do atleast all keys once on assa to get some decent score

#

im almost 2k on outlaw but only 900 score on assa

#

feelsbadman

#

i used to be an assa main in m+ what have i become

#

i fell to the dark side

final star
#

I'm in the pug life hell at 1550

#

Where people dont accept you readily for 18-19

#

But also people are picky for 16-17

#

I feel rogue is in a weird spot for m+

#

We're super viable and used in high keys

#

But pugs don't like rogues ivankek

lament mica
#

they don't not like rogues, they don't like melee

#

its a systemic problem atm that goes way past rogues

final star
#

Player perception 😂

#

I think most pugs are conceded that they need at least one melee dps now though

#

For the reduced kick cd

#

Most people just want speed in 16-18 though

#

Rather than consistency

cunning surge
#

They don't like not Outlaws*

lament mica
#

thats wat the tank is for

final star
#

I only play outlaw in pugs

cunning surge
#

I'm a lot better at Sin than I am Outlaw, even if I have a lower chance, I still don't want to bottleneck myself

final star
#

I'm fine at both

#

I do more on outlaw inherently

cunning surge
#

I probably should practice Outlaw more
I'm just way too trigger happy with RtB

guys, how much worse is nightfae for assa compared to other covenants?

final star
analog glade
#

what is the haste percentage for playing deeper?

balmy condor
#

whatever sims higher

analog glade
#

Okay thx

frosty bridge
#

Does SBS dot work with Exsanguinate?

balmy condor
#

nope

#

they fixed that real quick

tropic echo
#

sin is amazing at funneling right?

balmy condor
#

I wouldn't call it amazing

#

sub is still much better at that

#

but it's not bad I guess

tropic echo
#

really? even with all the energy sin gets from multidotting?

balmy condor
#

our problem is that 1. we need time to get all those dots rolling

#
  1. we have some pretty pathetic cp generation in aoe
#
  1. because of #1 and #2, most of our resources when "funneling" will actually go into maintaining the multi-dot, instead of actually hard funneling into something
cunning surge
#

I'd say Sin has a much better flow rotation wise than funneling

analog glade
#

The pull is a bit slowly

lofty shell
#

how many dots do you apply when running m+ ? is it worth putting garrote + rup on every mob? or is it really depending on how long they will live

balmy condor
#

that's a very complicated question with no one answer sadly

#

the general rule is rupture/garrote everything that lives long enough

lofty shell
#

figured that much, feels really weird just pumping cp into bleeds and then realizing they melted

arctic cloud
fluid dust
#

!guide

balmy condor
#

but there are minor gains to be had from limiting dots to prevent overcapping too much energy etc, and using an envenom instead

#

and these rules all change depending on the pull and the length due to that time to kill stuff

lofty shell
#

yeah higher keys / fort weeks generally allow for more rupture usage i guess

frosty bridge
#

do i SBS instead of Muta as necro?

#

Even with doomblade?

#

If the bleed is up*

balmy condor
#

yes, you use it as a cheap generator

frosty bridge
#

Sick

#

In Council is it worth dotting/SBS all 3 bosses for regen/cp generation?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

but not with rupture

#

that's a waste

frosty bridge
#

Just garrote i guess

strange python
#

whispyr, does it make sense to play mfd at sludgefist so i can get another flagtick + envenom off in that crit window?

frosty bridge
#

Ah, sick

balmy condor
shadow helm
#

best WA?

balmy condor
#

I'm not sure how that's comparing to doomblade this patch

#

but it was okay in the past

#

might be worth trying

i mean yeah makes sense to me, since all you dmg comes from that one dmg window

It's fine in m+

is it as good as in bfa?

I've been doing plenty of 15s as Sin

It's not really comparable to back then lol

I've done 15-18's

and what lege were you running?

#

zoldyck?

final star
#

balmy condor
red pagoda
#

thing is that sin (and sub) don't have gouge, which is huge utility for m+

outer acorn
#

ye i know but it's not really that needed when you want to push just keymaster

limber lion
#

Assa is fine in M+. Would highly recommend playing Zoldyck/Subt in M+ for most dungeons.

outer acorn
#

it's required on higher keys

final star
#

Also 8yd range as outlaw

#

is very valuable

limber lion
#

For KSM you can play any spec.

outer acorn
#

i know that

final star
#

you can play any comp in the game and get KSM

outer acorn
#

just before i took a break the numbers were so garbage it was a waste to even play it

limber lion
#

You can easily average 6k+ on most dungeons with Assa.

final star
#

it's also dependant on the ability/gear of your team mates

You also have Lashing 226?

outer acorn

and did the m+ playstyle change since bfa?

balmy condor

yuppppp

eternal wave

#

Hidden blades should be baseline, so at least one could open with a fat fok->CT with MA. Like how it was with DFA sub back in the day

dawn ivy
#

it couldnt be exactly hidden blades or else we would be using that on single target which would be 🤮

eternal wave
#

Gotta say I don't really enjoy Shiv being part of our rotation in M+

crimson palm
#

Ok

eternal wave
#

Sure you could and should hold it for utility whenever fighting something that enrages

eternal wave
# crimson palm Ok

No need to show such fiery passion if you don't wanna be part of a discussion

crimson palm
final star
#

I tend to just use it on prio target and save it for enrage removal if required

eternal wave
#

Anyway it kind of irks me the same way you'd use Fel Rush on a DH with Momentum, where abilities have 2 clear uses and you have to pick

final star
#

or extra slow if there is no need for me to run numbing poison

eternal wave
#

Yah I'm surprised by how many times I find use of Shiv with Crippling, as any spec

#

Waiting out an expected Enrage is one thing, but not being able to hard slow when the tank fucks up because Shiv is on CD for DPS usage is annoying

red pagoda
#

just give back toxic blade and have shiv be pure utility

eternal wave

^this

damn toxic blade FeelsOldMan

Ok so i tried out Katar for shits and giggles

#

It might be weak, but shit feels good in M+

I dont get as many 1cp FOK's

Unless im bugging

regal chasm

Actually what I miss most in M+ when switching from outlaw isn't gouge, but having hook and sprint up whenever you want it

Only annoyance is its CD

Cause its mostly FOK into CT with spreading Bleeds

it's useful to outrange a lot of abilities while still being able to hit

final star
#

What Adolin said

#

playing at max range as outlaw is advantageous in a lot of situations

like the gauntlet in sd

If i gotta get out of something i just FOK more

#

But i get what yall saying

#

you can stand at max range from the boss, cleave everything and never get hit by that horrible bleed

I again have dilema what to switch, Necrolord looks nice that you just put it on and dont care, but also that venthyr haste cursedHD

balmy condor

you have to recast necro constantly tho

verbal sparrow

does combat also run venthyr?

balmy condor

they run necro ideally in m+ from what I know

dont all specs run necro in m+ lol

what are people running in pvp mostly for assass?

1 phase?

100%

oh okay. because from just sims i can't guess if that gameplay is just annoying or if it's actually good in actual m+ run

1 phase means that you will have downtime

can't have 100% if shriekwing is running around

limber lion

final star
#

Thought he meant killing without intermission

limber lion
#

Yes.

indigo mulch
#

I mean with 1 intermission 😦 my bad

#

Should have specified D:

limber lion
#

Yeah that's not one phase.

final star
#

whatever the percentage of the fight the intermission is

hollow escarp
#

itermition = phasing

final star
#

minus that from 100

hollow escarp
#

that's how I interpreted as well

limber lion
#

The first 2 minutes of the fight = first phase

final star
limber lion
#

intermission

#

After intermission = second phase

indigo mulch
#

How should my uptime look like with an intermission then? 😄

final star
#

minus that from 100%

hollow escarp
#

lol, rank 1 sin rogue had worse uptime than me

#

I have 80% +

final star
#

depends how long the fight is after intermission

#

yours may be shorter?

hollow escarp
#

doubt

arctic cloud
#

Even tho ven is poggers and I have max renown I’m still tempted to go fae because sepsis seems so good

limber lion
#

The longer the fight after the intermission = the higher uptime you have

indigo mulch
#

I wish my guild would actually let me play assassination in mythic 😦

hollow escarp
#

you can cheese a bit by refreshing bleeds before going to middle

limber lion
#

So if the boss phases with 1% then you mutilate it once and it dies after the intermission, your uptime will be a lot shorter

#

Compared to someone who kills it just before the second intermission

gloomy fern
#

why wouldnt they? lol

hollow escarp
#

4:19 min is my best kill so far

indigo mulch
# gloomy fern why wouldnt they? lol

Because they asked me to re-roll WW cause we needed the buff, then when WW is finally "bad" our tank went holy paladin so now i'm stuck playing brewmaster. 😐

tropic echo
hollow escarp
#

rerolling monk from sin rogue right now is kinda troll

limber lion
#

Other than that doesn't really matter honestly

#

Just play whatever you want

gloomy fern
#

i dunno, i would find a new guild if u actually wanna play sin and not tank

hollow escarp
#

ohh tank

#

thought it was ww

indigo mulch
#

No

#

I was WW first.

#

Then all the suddenly i became a brewmaster apperantly.

#

RIP sanity.

limber lion

Sounds like you're the bitch of the guild

#

There's probably a better word for it

#

But yeah, sounds like you're a pushover

indigo mulch
#

lol

limber lion
#

You need to stand up and say hell na, I'm playing WW or Rogue

#

I'm not switching to tank because the other tank doesn't want to do the tanking

indigo mulch
#

I don't wanna play WW. Never did but i also feel like at that point not having a WW was a waste of dps. 😮

grand crest
#

hey guys i really love to play assassination rogue can i do +15 content with it ? i really dont know what to do i love assassination but not sure can any one help me ?

limber lion
#

You need to stand up for yourself

#

Doesn't sound like a good environment if you're being forced to play ww first and then tank even when you don't want to.

#

Find a different guild and play rogue.

gloomy fern
#

if ur not a world first raider, just play what you like imo

hollow chasm
#

people memeing so hard on meta right now, don't play something you don't like

#

I've been top boss damage on most fights as outlaw and an officer was telling me rogues are trash cause he saw it on reddit kekW

indigo mulch

I mean i feel like i do decent as a rogue

#

atleast on HC :x

hollow chasm

on HC you can literally play whatever

limber lion

That boomkin is a main but hes a resto. Thats offspec balance

Yeh, there's some minor issues here and there but overall it's pretty good.

No reason for your to switch to a tank

Should swap one of the dogshit hunters or the fury warr

gloomy fern

i mean there is not much you can do wrong as sin kekw

indigo mulch
#

There is plenty of wrong you can do lol

#

I tried teaching our sub rogue how to play sin and he just kept whining on how slow it was.

If you're on max CP, and about to cap energy but shiv is also coming off CD in 1-2 sec, do you just finish even though you might not build up enough CPs for 3 envenoms?

Yep

That's quite a bit

4k parses in less than a week in Mythic, which is time-gated and locked.

gloomy fern

all bosses

except for SLG perhaps

Is it better for Altimor as well?

SLG seems definitely Outlaw, even the passassin guy went Outlaw for that one.
