desert rain
#

And thats the only important part

shadow pivot
#

i think the general consensus is you don't bring assa for the adds but to focus the boss anyways, might as well go all-in on ST

onyx wind
#

yea i know u didnt, but im just explaining why people dont play SBS

desert rain
#

Saying SBS has its use for sire MM is just not true tho

#

Since p2 is irrelevant

quasi ledge
#

No one is gonna choose a covenant best for certain fights you're just gonna be benched on for anyway :p

desert rain
#

This

onyx wind
#

Yea SBS has use for sire mythic since its bugged

desert rain
#

At least for super hzrxore guilds

#

Oh yeha true

frail fossil
#

u wanna push p2 at the right time

onyx wind
#

but all phases matter on sire, just p3 matters a lot more

desert rain
#

Obviously

frail fossil
#

p3 is where the race begins yes

#

but u need dmg on p2 and to kill the adds

#

at the right time

#

so for any progging guild

#

p2 is important

onyx wind
#

I think SBS is for sure easier to get value out of on fights such as SLG and sire

limber lion
#

The fact is that Necrolord is really strong for any encounter with:
A lot of adds for reset
2+ consistent targets at all times

#

That's all there is to it

onyx wind
#

Wow, you can sim 2 target 50 minutes and it beats venthyr by 30000k dps?

limber lion
#

Lmao Ex, filter wins this time

onyx wind
#

What?

frail fossil
#

but also SBS is just harder to manage

#

which can scare ppl off

#

and the aesthetic is less cool than venthyr

#

which is a thing for some ppl

eternal lance
#

bruther i must go najida for mythyc plus or theotar ?

desert rain
#

And the necro sign cov ability is just plain better

limber lion
onyx wind
#

yea i guess SBS is harder to manage in such scenarios, but isnt that just the equivalent of playing MFD

#

which most people are used to

deft rampart
#

Do we always delay flagellation for vendetta?

frail fossil
limber lion
frail fossil
#

and it's a bit harder to manage than mfd since it's cp value varies

desert rain
#

MfD is hard man πŸ˜‚

frail fossil
#

but technically, sbs works like a secondary mfd

limber lion
#

Let me sim a 1.5m 2 target for you as well

onyx wind
#

u have to keep in mind that people were complaining that kyrian was hard to play

limber lion
#

Because you're incapable of doing it yourself

onyx wind
#

i literally dont care

#

but thanks

limber lion
#

Doesn't sound like it

#

Because you keep attacking people and spreading false information every single day

onyx wind
#

Why are u so bitter man

#

leave me alone

limber lion
#

Literally every single day

eternal lance
frail fossil
#

i mean if ppl wanna stay bad they can do whatever they want tbf, i just wanna bring up to maybe some ppl that dont like venthyr that it's not the only choice for assa

onyx wind
#

@frail fossil do you feel attacked?

frail fossil
#

and necro is a strong contender

strange python
onyx wind
#

what false information am i spreading

limber lion
#

Here's a 2t sim for you as well

#

See how Necro beats Venthyr in both

#

Doesn't have to be a 1000 minute sim

frail fossil
#

also i'm biased cuz i think necro is a ton of fun yep

desert rain
#

Try 2 mon since flag is 1.5 cd

onyx wind
#

what...

plain thistle
#

its "well known" that for assa anything other than kyrian is good/ok

limber lion
#

Necro wins in every duration whenever there are adds or consistent targets.

eternal lance
plain thistle
#

people who thinks only venthyr is good is just wrong

onyx wind
#

Noone is saying that only venthyr is good

#

We are just talking about why people prefer venthyr over nrcro

frail fossil
desert rain
#

It's really just that NL is a shit cov to root for lmao

limber lion
#

No, we're talking about why Necro is better for many scenarios and you keep disagreeing and saying that Venthyr is better when it's not

#

You literally said that Venthyr is better for SLG

#

Which is not true

plain thistle
#

I know for a fact that people think the better one mean its the only option, just watch some streams or foruns or in game chat

frail fossil
#

it's good

onyx wind
#

cleave for sure necro is better, but still unsure abt wave of adds

onyx wind
#

which is what we were discussing

desert rain
#

Too much green

limber lion
#

We already sim'd it

#

I don't understand why you feelcraft everything

#

Instead of just simming it

#

And seeing for yourself

frail fossil
#

it has a good signature ability, specially in pvp, it's ability is fun and has a skill ceiling the aesthetic is not as bad as ppl think

#

the only real necro problem is

#

the sanctum training dummies suck

onyx wind
#

Dude what is your problem

eternal lance
solar hare
limber lion
#

You keep making arguments that something is better or worse, but you never sim anything and just assume stuff.

desert rain
#

I don't want to pet an abomination man

solar hare
#

The biggest true actually

frail fossil
#

it's so annoying

limber lion
#

There's people with years of experience on theorycrafting/simming

#

I'm sure they know a thing or two.

onyx wind
#

Because there is a lot more to this game than sims

limber lion
solar hare
eternal lance
onyx wind
#

im not claiming somethnig is better or worse, im trying to understand why

limber lion
frail fossil
limber lion
#

You literally said this

#

Not "I wonder if it's better"

#

You flat out said

#

"No, it's not better"

#

Which is not true

desert rain
#

Well it's getting annoying guys just sayin

frail fossil
#

the chad necrolords gigachad
the venthyr fans virgin

onyx wind
#

what qualifies as being better on wave of adds

#

killing adds quickly?

shadow pivot
#

biggest argument for necrolord is fleshcraft vs door of shadows tho

onyx wind
#

doing a lot of dmg in a 2 minute sim?

limber lion
#

On both situations necro wins

solar hare
#

Necro gets better with waves of adds because of lbe

frail fossil
#

if u have secondary adds that dies before the boss, which u can get resets from, necro is better

onyx wind
#

what is lbe

frail fossil
#

lead by exemple

solar hare
#

^

onyx wind
#

ah makes sense

#

doesnt it have an internal cooldown

frail fossil
#

nop

solar hare
#

Nope

onyx wind
#

makes sense

solar hare
#

I had 35% lbe uptime on slg last night

#

Felt good

frail fossil
#

honestly sbs is just insane on slg

#

make the fight bearable

solar hare
#

True

onyx wind
#

Wish more assa rogues actually played necro

frail fossil
#

having a cov abilities that matter, i missed that

onyx wind
#

so we could compare on stuff like SLG

limber lion
solar hare
#

Im probably playing zold sin > outlaw for sire so that’ll be hype ig

limber lion
#

So, not a really great comparison

onyx wind
#

Thanks for your input

frail fossil
#

kinda dont wanna break the tradition at this point

onyx wind
#

Youre only gonna get exposed if ur RL looks at p3 dmg

#

and then, they might now know abt assa execute

onyx wind
#

you can prob make the run for it

frail fossil
#

listen man i think

#

i'm the last person

#

the rl has to complain abt

#

unironically

onyx wind
#

XD

frail fossil
#

we giving pi to a demo lock and it's me playing outlaw the problem Madge

solar hare
#

Hey

#

Same

onyx wind
#

that mf better get rank1 then

solar hare
onyx wind
#

nvm he has a competitor

frail fossil
#

he had 1 rank 1 i think

#

on inerva

solar hare
#

Imagine ur demo not being rank 1 sludge

#

Smh

weak copper
#

yo, is the glove slot so much better than the shoulder slot for the legendary?

onyx wind
#

rank1 with 5800 dps

frail fossil
#

idk how they manage but every demo lock have convinced their guild to pi them KEKW

weak copper
#

damn

limber lion
frail fossil
#

nah i think the r1 inerva is 8.2k or smth

limber lion
#

Doesn't matter if you don't have a chance at those.

onyx wind
#

really, for demo?

frail fossil
#

yeah

solar hare
#

For sludge

frail fossil
#

demo is low key good for sludge

#

it's just troll to play it cuz affli exist

onyx wind
#

thats almost as good as rogue

weak copper
#

@limber lion Yeah, that's also what I could deduct. Just had to be sure

onyx wind
#

we have an arcane mage

#

that mf pumped so hard on sludge

frail fossil
#

thing is there is 0 situations where u want objectively a demo over an affli, so like demo is ok for sludge but affli is insane

deft rampart
#

So i think i found a bug, if you recast flag while stacking it ends the stacking timer and sets itself to 12 seconds

onyx wind
#

wait really

neat jacinth
#

Hey, i wanne try out assa aswell which is why i am gonna switch to venth. How long does it take to catch up renown to a good lvl? And whats the best way to do so? Ty in advance:)

deft rampart
#

I can't recreate it but it just happened to me

onyx wind
#

thats funny as fuck

limber lion
#

To get to 30+ that is

frail fossil
onyx wind
#

pretty much depends on what u enjoy doing man

#

although ive heard pvp renown stuff is broken

#

and u dont get much from it

frail fossil
#

also pvp i think but i never did pvp to catch up

limber lion
neat jacinth
#

Allright. TY! Whats more efficient? Normals or heroics? πŸ™‚

onyx wind
#

yea i heard you get a lot from 2s, but did like 30 games and got 0 renown

limber lion
#

They're both the same

#

You can do them both

#

Start with heroic, then do normal and queue for LFR while you're doing your covenant campaign

frail fossil
#

the one u clear the faster

neat jacinth
#

Well i hate pvp. So wont try that πŸ˜„

frigid sleet
#

also note that the more you are behind on renown the higher the chance to get renown while doing things, so keep the things the award renown 100% like boxes, world boss, and campaign for last

onyx wind
#

higher difficulty stuff has a higher chance of dropping renown

#

and the chance of getting renown from catchup methods is lower the higher renown u are

onyx wind
#

so you want to covenant campaign and weekly last

frail fossil
#

idk m+ dropped nothing after several 15s and hc dung dropped KEKW

onyx wind
#

weird

limber lion
#

Yeh exactly

#

Exeo just talking out of his ass again

onyx wind
#

i got renown from every +15 i did

frail fossil
#

renown catch up is weird

neat jacinth
#

Sooooo just after switching and doing the first couple quests its best to grind renown before doing campaign? πŸ™‚

frail fossil
#

yes

limber lion
#

Renown catchup is really weird, a lot of people have trouble with it

onyx wind
#

Can u just block me or smth ceverion

limber lion
#

And they get stuck on some level or something

frail fossil
#

ngl renown catch up is just one of the most annoying things

limber lion
#

It's fine if you don't get stuck

shadow pivot
#

I learned 2 days ago so that might help

#

You have a thing here on your renown page

#

that tells you if you can still win renown today or not

onyx wind
#

wait what

frail fossil
#

monkaS no fucking way

onyx wind
#

so theres a daily cap?

strange python
#

I got hard stuck at 24 after doing everything u guys listed besides pvp on first day

onyx wind
#

that seems weird

limber lion
#

There is some sort of cap, but not daily necessarily

#

I did get 30 renown in one day, but some people report getting 4 renown and then being stuck

shadow pivot
#

obviously can't show on my rogue and im raiding rn but you can log in another character that isn't renown 40 and check for yourself

limber lion
#

It's really, really weird

#

And makes no sense

frail fossil
#

idk like when i hit 24 it started getting sparce

#

like to renown 24 everything dropped

#

after i had much less

shadow pivot
#

No idea how it reset if its daily or anything

limber lion
#

Maybe it has something to do with your previous covenant

#

No clue

frail fossil
#

gna check on my rogue

frigid sleet
#

I'm pretty sure you can spam normals until 24 and then do campaigns, world boss, and daily box and you'll get to 30+

frail fossil
#

since i'm not 40

limber lion
#

Or if you can like "stock up on renown"

onyx wind
#

i swapped twice and i didnt get stuck

#

so probably not that

limber lion
#

Yeh me neither

frail fossil
#

to keep it πŸ’― renown catch up is fucking annoying KEKW

limber lion
#

Would love an explanation from Blizzard

frail fossil
#

after i finish prog i'll get venthyr to 31+ too

onyx wind
#

i actually didnt mind renown catchup

#

if this was BFA u would have a weekly cap of 5 renown to catch up

frail fossil
#

so i'll only miss NF but i dont like that cov omegalul

limber lion
#

I miss soulshape every day

frail fossil
limber lion
#

That's the best thing of NF

frail fossil
#

i mean phial from kyrian

onyx wind
shadow pivot
#

Soulshape really is a big loss

frail fossil
#

and bron

#

bron was the goat

strange python
#

Might be an unpopular opinion...but I low-key hope that some point we'll be able to change covenants on the fly for different situations

onyx wind
#

i miss bron ninjapulling

#

in keys

#

:(

shadow pivot
#

Especially when traded for Door of Shadows which sucks ass

frail fossil
limber lion
lapis matrix
#

Guys, is there relevant comparision of trinkets to run as Assa?

limber lion
#

It's just unpopular opinion for Blizzard apparently

frail fossil
frail fossil
limber lion
#

I don't use either nowadays anymore

lapis matrix
#

yeah, i do sim aswell, but wanted to have like "go to" πŸ˜„

limber lion
#

I used to use HD for a long time though

limber lion
frail fossil
#

from plaguefall

#

that's the main thing

lapis matrix
#

Putre? Just got it

limber lion
#

Big

onyx wind
#

gz, u will never replace it

frail fossil
#

yeah that's insane

lapis matrix
#

I see, thanks!

frail fossil
#

basically the best trinket combo is phial/233 sire trinket

limber lion
onyx wind
#

u can maybe replace it if u get 226 chain and 223 sire

#

if it is 220

frail fossil
#

it's nice getting ur hand on quantum device too

#

good for log runs

onyx wind
#

log runs :)

limber lion
#

Yeah, I would love to get that :''(

#

I'm so sad

lapis matrix
#

Ah, dont have sire one

frail fossil
onyx wind
#

yea be like me and progress SLG

frail fossil
#

i'm progging slg

#

but i just raid log

lapis matrix
#

Then i guess i will sim for now, what to use as 2nd. Council, Inerva, or Flywing toxin

#

thanks for help!

frail fossil
#

i would say inerva

limber lion
spice spire
#

Probably inerva

frail fossil
#

i'm using inerva/phial 226

limber lion
#

I run Phial + Inerva myself

onyx wind
#

i use phial+chain

#

😎

neat jacinth
#

Whats the 2nd best trinket out of Dungeons? I never do raids:D

burnt star
#

wish i won the 226 chain that dropped

#

x-x

onyx wind
#

dont have to win it if u loot it 😎

burnt star
#

wont get to have a chance at it until 2 more month

lapis matrix
#

ah, chain, would love that one aswell πŸ˜„

onyx wind
#

its blizzards way of paying me back for trading socketed inerva ring away

burnt star
#

slg is going awfuly fast though πŸ˜‰

#

3 night already on 2nd intermiss

frail fossil
#

big

#

ceverion cannot relate with going fast on slg KEKW

tribal mauve
#

Which one is better on sludge, inerva or shriek trinket ?

burnt star
#

both

#

1 per pillar πŸ˜‰

frail fossil
#

inerva on pull

#

shriek on first pillar

burnt star
#

inerva will be better if other people use it

frail fossil
#

inerva on second

onyx wind
#

u can play both yea

limber lion
#

Inerva 15s before pull for the giga-gamers

tribal mauve
#

I have phial, inerva, shriek trinkets

onyx wind
#

isnt the point of playing double on use to use it on every pillar?

frail fossil
#

inerva is straight up better than skulker tho, but u can run both for slg

onyx wind
#

sure but skulker = big number

tribal mauve
#

And we start sludge tonight idk which one i will use

frail fossil
limber lion
onyx wind
#

yea exactly

#

memory on pull, shriek 1st pillar

#

then memory 2nd

#

etc

frail fossil
#

i used memory/phial cuz cba playing shriek on sludge

onyx wind
#

its not that bad with changes

#

but agree

frail fossil
#

when it jumped me into sludge texture and i got meleed KEKW

onyx wind
#

so glad i never have to play with that trinket again

burnt star
frail fossil
celest ruin
#

skulkers vs memory on sludge? i thought memory has an icd thing so not all 5 stacks will proc on pillar?

frail fossil
#

pop it when he charges

#

not when he hit the pillar

limber lion
celest ruin
#

oh damn i havent thought of that

#

ty

limber lion
#

And Skulker's is a bit yolo and can pull you out of chain-range

#

And kill your partner

frail fossil
#

yeah or move uaway from soaks

#

so i would not advise for it if u prog

#

dps check shouldn't be hard to meet anyway

#

if u just dont die

celest ruin
#

i just noticed, if i do standard opener my memory wont be up on 2nd pillar before he charges

limber lion
#

@celest ruin Pop memory 15s before pulling

#

The buff lasts for 30s so you can easily use it before actually pulling

deft rampart
#

do you guys keep bleeds up on the other bosses when doing council?

limber lion
#

But no more than that

deft rampart
limber lion
#

Do keep note of your deadly poison on the off-target because it won't refund energy if your poisons drop

frail fossil
#

memory rota is on pull

#

second

#

and forth

#

like any 2min cd basically

limber lion
#

Just use it pre-pull and you won't have to think about it

#

One less button to press

frail fossil
#

i'm an outlaw gamer so i cant do that

limber lion
frail fossil
#

because u want to use on use trinket once BTE is on the target

#

and ghostly strike

limber lion
#

Why?

frail fossil
#

so they have 20% more chance to crit and 10% more dmg

limber lion
#

Your abilities don't affect trinkets

frail fossil
#

they do

limber lion
#

Are you sure?

#

Because none of Assa abilities affect any trinkets whatsoever

#

Shiv doesn't increase Phial's damage, neither does Vendetta

frail fossil
#

GS increase ALL ur dmg by 10% including trinkets

#

and bte affect all crit chance

limber lion
#

Sick

#

Outlaw op

gusty mirage
#

GS does affect everything, the tool tip is kinda misleading

frail fossil
#

GS is just insane

strange python
#

I've gotten like a 25-30k sire trink crit before that way

gusty mirage
#

imagine having a dreadfire feelssadman

strange python
#

220ilvl sadge

gusty mirage
#

imagine having one at all

limber lion
#

Why does Outlaw's abilities affect trinkets but Assa's won't? :''(

#

Unfair

#

I wanna buff my Phial with my Shiv as well

pure moth
#

Would be nice

onyx wind
#

playing around phial with shiv and snapshotting

#

would be so fun

limber lion
#

Snapshotting with exsang would be so fun ah

brave vector
#

zoldycks slot doesnt matter yeah? since no 233 legs or boots from raid?

fading bridge
#

Hey all, just leveled to 60 and went necro and I'm a little confused about single target use of bone spike, is it use it and leave it? Pop all 3 charges and then use them on CD

limber lion
brave vector
#

i was going to go legs anyway cause i have 226 haste/crit boots πŸ˜›

limber lion
fading bridge
#

Okay TY!

icy crater
frail fossil
#

my advice for sbs as sin is to keep some for shiv window

#

it's a lot of cp for no energy almost

strange python
#

I cannot believe how much Assa not having Acrobatic Strikes feels. Like, im so used to being a bit away from the mobs when i attack them as outlaw, but as assa u literally need to be on their asses to attack

frail fossil
#

so u're 100% sure you're gonna be able to fit 2 envenoms if u play DS

drowsy parcel
frail fossil
#

just dont cap them

gusty mirage
# icy crater hows ur prog buddy?

Not bad, consistently getting to intermission in Niklaus but we're missing a check that'd make it easier (pushing him before 2nd garg spawns)

drowsy parcel
#

every single leg except one has mastery on it i think

limber lion
frail fossil
#

like i found having bone spikes ready for burst windows rly nice

frail fossil
icy crater
limber lion
#

That's not a good emote

frail fossil
#

when i found myself in a scuffed shiv window KEKW

frail fossil
limber lion
#

But yeh, SBS is probably great for that

frail fossil
#

also low key sbs on sludge

#

is rly nice too

icy crater
#

@limber lion with more practice on the fight and focusing on improving, I've reduced the amount of my mistakes. re: rupture convo yesterday

robust warren
#

hey guys, is this rly woth?

frail fossil
#

sim it

limber lion
frail fossil
#

siggy not playing outlaw sadgecry

icy crater
#

Just gar

limber lion
#

I tried doing it on a boost hc run yesterday and there's so many things to keep track of all of a sudden :p

icy crater
#

we got slg coming fleur

limber lion
#

Not sure what I wanna do yet

gusty mirage
limber lion
gusty mirage
#

true

icy crater
#

I hate our opener because our boomkin couldn't figure out how to solo tendant

#

And I'm playing DS so its slow and its immune right as I want to pop cds

gusty mirage
#

you just stand back and incarn convoke

#

wat

icy crater
#

yeah too hard

gusty mirage
icy crater
#

so we asked him again last night why he can't do it

#

and he goes

#

SIR, I CANNOT DO IT. IT CANNOT HAPPEN.

#

okkaaaaay bro

limber lion
#

Welp

gusty mirage
#

oh he busted out the sir

#

interesting

#

only attendant issues we're having is when we get to niklaus because its hectic af. Kinda sucks it takes forever to get back there to get more practice in

icy crater
#

if we had more DKs we'd have less enraged waiters

#

right now nik from 100-50 is hard, also because our dps sucks but

#

need our pumper back

gusty mirage
#

nik 100-50 seems to be our struggle too

#

we fall behind and have to burn the guards

icy crater
#

I never tried council pre nerf but the gargoyles are actually meaningless

gusty mirage
#

if they get a few stacks they literally fuck the tank

icy crater
#

ours have never had a problem but

#

I think they have a bop rota set up

gusty mirage
#

you have more than one pally?

stiff tapir
#

My guild kills nik first because we have no boomies or fire mages.

#

So adds are kind of not an option

#

But you go DS over doom that fight?

#

I gotta look at logs and see what others are using too

icy crater
#

deeper strat

spice spire
#

Yeah we gotta differentiate deeper strat and dashing scoundrel lol

gusty mirage
#

I blame blizzard

stiff tapir
#

Ooooo

thorny rose
#

not as confusing as master assassin (talent) and master assassin (legendary)

spice spire
#

Small indie company Blissard πŸ™‚

limber lion
spice spire
#

Just run both kekw

thorny rose
#

Lol

gusty mirage
#

150% crit

#

ez

solar hare
#

Sub Topkek

spice spire
#

That’s how you get 6 combo points per Mut EZZZZZ

gusty mirage
#

^

thorny rose
strange python
#

100% crit isn't enuf

limber lion
#

One dude actually thought he was giga-brain and thought that Master Assa lege and talent would increase his damage by 150%

gusty mirage
#

LOL

spice spire
#

That’s galaxy brain kekw

icy crater
#

I mean good on him for trying lmaooo

gusty mirage
#

If I have over 100% crit that means I crit harder right?

limber lion
#

Yeah, I like cute noobs

icy crater
#

its like negative resists right

spice spire
#

It would in a 3 second fight kekw

limber lion
thorny rose
#

it’s kinda weird that we have a legendary that makes one of our talents completely obscelete like that

shadow pivot
#

Imagine >100% crit turned into critdmg

shadow pivot
#

Ele sham on steroids

limber lion
#

We had Master Assa legendary in Legion

icy crater
#

When I first started wow I didn't know you could respec and you had to reroll your character if you wanted different talents

strange python
#

That legendary came first in legion

thorny rose
#

oh I see

limber lion
#

And the MA talent was added in BFA because we didn't have legendaries

gusty mirage
#

that was the compromise in bfa

limber lion
#

But yeh

#

Still dumb

#

lol

gusty mirage
#

Any venom rush enthusiasts here? PepeSip

limber lion
#

I was one in Legion, not anymore

stiff tapir
#

What if you

#

Use MA

maybe in 9.1 they can address the weird ass talents we still have with the pvp talents

And the talent that increases dam by 20% in stealth

Death From Above was the true gamer experience

DFA was so much fun

limber lion

fok wheelers ;p

limber lion
#

DFA was big dick for Sub

icy crater
#

I used to hate exang but it would be fun to get a fucking turbo rupture up and press it

limber lion
#

I loved it

icy crater
safe canopy
#

while it sims 30 dps less. what do you guys think about danny trink + skulkers for sludge. Get value for each on use for every pillar?

icy crater
#

dfa sub was my fav the spec has ever been

spice spire
#

The true gamer experience was blindsiding dispatch in MoP

gusty mirage
#

I hate skulkers with my entire being

spice spire
#

When dispatch was an execute prayge

gusty mirage
#

I want to dedicate my life to hating skulkers tbh

icy crater
#

I have like 4 dreadfires in my bag and no skulkers

#

should vendor some of them

gusty mirage
#

weird flex

#

I suddenly hate you

icy crater
#

just get phial

gusty mirage
#

a boomie kept the last one that dropped for us

#

I have a phial

icy crater
#

just get memory

gusty mirage
#

can't, we're extending till next tier sad rogue noises

icy crater
#

I actually got memory first inerva kill, kinda insane

spice spire
#

DFV sims better for me than memory surprisingly

gusty mirage
#

A boomie got our last dreadfire

icy crater
#

deepfuckingvalue is pretty op

gusty mirage
#

and kept it

limber lion
#

Or 220 vs 213?

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

The second one

limber lion
#

Ah, that's no surprise then

spice spire
#

But memory hits way above its class

limber lion
#

DFV is the best trinket in the game

icy crater
#

because its 233 xd

spice spire
#

And with the MA change, DFV seems more meh.

gusty mirage
#

I gotta go pug heroic sire because we don't clear heroic unless we have a sale

icy crater
#

imagine needing 220 gear in march 2021

#

smh

gusty mirage
#

I will cut you

#

with your 4 dreadfires

#

😠

spice spire
#

My fucking alt DK had a 216 weapon before my rogue had one peophammer

icy crater
#

lul

shadow pivot
#

The one and only true flex nowadays is 226 phial

limber lion
#

Imagine not just getting a 226 weapon from vault

gusty mirage
#

I guess I'll just stick to my 220 phial / 220 flayed wing

#

and be SAD

stiff tapir
#

Does phial and flayed wing buff envenom through doom blade?

spice spire
#

No, right?

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

plus its bleeds that buff envenom w/ doom silly

spice spire
#

Doom blade only empowers via bleeds as is. But trinkets don’t count as poisons for our stuffs

gusty mirage
#

"nature damage"

stiff tapir
#

So then what bleeds buff envenom through doomblade

dawn ivy
#

how much dps does each rank of WPS give us?

gusty mirage
#

but not poison

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

it's called a toxin, but dw its nature damage

stiff tapir
#

Sbs and doomblade dot?

dawn ivy
#

ah damn so dauntless duelist probably will still be the play next tier

gusty mirage
#

just get a 226 maim, mangle like me boys

#

ez

stiff tapir
#

And garrote/rupture?

limber lion
icy crater
#

I swear assa tooltips are the most misleading bits of text in wow

limber lion
#

And Internal Bleeding, but that's a bit bait

gusty mirage
#

idk the new great vault one's pretty good

#

if you do a 14, you can do a 15 to upgrade your item to 130 ilvl

pulsar sluice
#

has anyone been using solely doomblade for keys

gusty mirage
icy crater
#

me because i dont have zold

#

but then I went outlaw because fuck sin in keys

#

and did like 1.5k more dps

gusty mirage
#

I just pop some tylenol and play outlaw in keys

#

these boomer wrists can't handle it

pulsar sluice
#

sin is really not that bad in keys tho

#

you guys pushing 20+ or something

icy crater
#

its prob fine but i suck at it

limber lion
#

I do better with Assa than Outlaw myself but I'm a pretty lazy Outlaw player

gusty mirage
#

Trying, hard stuck at 19s atm 😦

#

but we usually pug 2 spots which doesn't help

compact pumice
#

Tbh I feel like the higher the key the better sin is. Low keys the mobs just die due to a fire mage anyway

pulsar sluice
#

yeah

#

its really not that hard

limber lion
#

If you have your firemage burst the enemies from 100%, the faster they go down to execute range and the more damage you do with Zoldyck. And generally the faster mobs die = the more overall damage you do

#

But yeah, 18-21 is a good sweet spot for Assa tbh

pulsar sluice
#

I think a common mistake ppl do with sin in keys is they build full ruptures for the mobs, and crimson uptime is low maybe thats why you aren't happy with the performance

compact pumice
#

I just feel like triple garrote + FOK + CT is just too low dps, only after like 3-4 ruptures you even compete with any other class

#

and that's a lot of globals

#

Meanwhile Outlaw can do MA+KS to do great burst aoe almost every packs

limber lion
#

Yeah a pack that lives for 30ish seconds is perfect for Assa.

#

It's true that if the pack lives for 10s, it's really bad for us

compact pumice
#

I wanna try the Deathly Shadows leggo tho for keys

#

But then I also wanna make a zoldyck :S

gusty mirage
limber lion

compact pumice
#

Actually I’m trying MA in keys right now. It sims well tbh, and this week there’s no spiteful to keep you from stealthing between packs. Doomblade just feels too ST :S It’s great for that though

#

But despite the sims people here still swear by Zoldyck, want to try it

#

Maybe I’ll make a r1 before going for a r4 one

radiant fossil
#

Yeah but i feel like st is our purpose. I mean why would i do aoe dmg when i have a mage and a hunter in my group. I'd rather do one job and destroy st. But thats just me ^^

compact pumice
#

No! Gotta beat that pesky hunter on the overall I say!

eternal lance
#

guys how i can boost my solo target damage in mythyc ? i mean some creep like pride i must charge my poisns or do evnom more

thorny rose
#

as I’m still learning sin

bright moth
#

@compact pumice MA has felt amazing in keys for me. Doesn’t have much impact on the opener because triple garrote is so strong but once you have your dots rolling and pop a vanish and all your dots are criting + easy CP generation pumps damage

limber lion
compact pumice
thorny rose
#

I see. That does sound fun. I think I’ll take the plunge especially since I’m nelf and I also like to pvp

#

shadowmeld πŸ€“

compact pumice
#

Tbh I use MA as Outlaw if I’m running KS, also in PVP as Sub or Sin. It’s just a good legendary tbh

thorny rose
#

But I’m also the most indecisive person on the planet, so if you see me back here tonight talking about different legendaries you aren’t allowed to mad

bright moth
#

Definitely loses value in long ST fights

eternal lance
#

guys what is rotation with out any cd on single target ?

compact pumice
#

Can you shadowmeld+stealth mid pack to proc MA?

thorny rose
#

I don’t think I’m raiding anymore this tier so I should be able to craft a different ST leggo by 9.1

compact pumice
#

Like a vanish?

thorny rose
#

I believe so @compact pumice

bright moth
#

Lol time to change race

thorny rose
#

Haven’t tested it myself obviously but I’ve seen youtubers do it in arena so idk why pve would be any different

compact pumice
#

God damn, why am I cursed with a beautiful Orc MonkaChrist

limber lion
shy dust
#

doesnt work on bosses

#

works in pvp too

#

even more consistently now because of cloaked in shadows conduit

compact pumice
quick creek
#

Do you need to do shadowmeld and stealth manually or can you macro stealth to it?

wise fiber
wise fiber
#

Jesus... I have been playing this shit all wrong

bright moth
#

Yeah pretty much want to get as many dots rolling as possible before vanishing to get the most value

#

I usually aim for 5 garrote/rupture + poisons from FoK and CT before vanishing

wise fiber
#

Then vanish and normal rotation right away?

surreal halo
bright moth
#

@wise fiber depends on mob pack size and how fast they are dying. Large pack/dying slow - triple garrote. Small pack/dying fast - burst rotation

#

That’s just my general rule of thumb. But every situation is different

strange python

hey ❀️ bru i have fine on aoe on 2 or 3 targer i have 5k dps but in solo target i have 3k dps or 2.8 u think my roation is wrong ?

what do you sim for

if you sim for 5k dps

and are pulling 2.8k dps

yes youre doing many things wrong

eternal lance
#

hmm idk maybe my first talent is wrong xd i change my talent to master poisener

#

from ep

#

u think so ?

shy dust
#

your first talent

#

is not going to drastically swing your dps that high

eternal lance
#

y

shy dust
#

youre most likely just making tons of rotational mistakes

unless you sim for 3k

It should be blindside

#

for m+ what do people prefer subterfuge or MA?

balmy condor
#

Definitely subterfuge

nimble spoke
#

Sub, all the way

#

those garrotes do huge damage and the energy gen is nice

balmy condor
#

NS is fine too, and in theory MA is usable

#

It’s just not a standard build

#

And probably a little weird to use

leaden garden
#

Hey guys, im currently setting up my WAs for my asa rogue alt, whats important to track other than dots and CDs?

nimble spoke
#

if you want an easy setup, you can use Luxthos'

balmy condor
mossy crown
#

was playing with DS, but much prefer vigor. I like the garrotes I can do in the window.

nimble spoke
#

I prefer vigor most of the time, too

stoic needle
#

Yeah DS is kinda poop in m+

mossy crown
nimble spoke
#

after quick decisions, do yall prefer Rushed Setup or Prepared for All for finesse conduits?

patent topaz
#

I wonder why for sludge there is almost a 50/50 split between ep+vigor and blindside+ds for venthyr rogues

stoic needle
#

I prefer rushed setup because sin has to use kidney kinda frequently for cc

nimble spoke
#

fair point, it's what I was leaning towards, too, since Prepared is dependent on you actually getting the kick, yourself

stoic needle
#

Lol yeah

#

In pugs that can be kinda hard if everyone kicks at the same time

nimble spoke
#

I'm loving Sin so much in M+ with Zold. I'm wrecking the others in dps lol

stoic needle
#

But honestly if you don't stand in shit you don't particularly need the cdr on evasion/cloak

nimble spoke
#

don't even have second potency yet

lean hill
#

prepared can be good on spiteful weeks, if you cant avoid the mob you can evasion and the dodges will reduce cd for next time

stoic needle
#

Very true

#

It was super useful last week

solid mica
#

What do ppl use talent/leggo wise for Council prog?

nimble spoke
#

I'm lazy and like having general soulbinds/conduits so I don't have to change around too much XD

balmy condor
nimble spoke
#

Zold for mythic prog, right? 3 execute phases?

patent topaz
#

not that many chinese

shy dust
balmy condor
shy dust
#

doesnt make the total percent of time in execute magically rise

nimble spoke
#

It was more a question, guys and girls :)

#

but thank you :)

balmy condor
#

Yeah it’s a common thing

nimble spoke
#

@solid mica it'd be DB, then

shy dust
#

that being in execute for longer doesnt always mean youre getting more value

#

its an argument i commonly see for zoldyck being better the high keys you go

#

when youre going to generally have the same % of time in execute

balmy condor
#

Yeah I think the argument should be flipped that you have less % time in MA, which makes it worse

#

Rather than more time in zold

solid mica
#

!MA

#

Whats ma? Master assassin?

nimble spoke
#

ye

solid mica
#

Talent or leggo?

nimble spoke
#

both, but typically talent when you're talking about raid

balmy condor
#

We’re talking legendary

#

For m+

nimble spoke
#

yaga was asking about mythic progression

balmy condor
#

Yeh I know

mossy crown
#

for m+ would you gem crit over haste. Current stats are crit: 26% haste: 22% mastery: 20% vers: 10

balmy condor
#

But also just sim yourself

mossy crown
#

I just have and what I have equipped is the best for dungeon slice

limber lion
#

Oh lookie, NA has woken up.

balmy condor
#

Then there you go

limber lion
mossy crown
#

what just asking in case it could be wrong

balmy condor
#

Where do you think we get our answers from

mossy crown
#

fair one

harsh jasper
#

Do you run different talents on huntsman and slg than single target?

balmy condor
#

Huntsman is ep Subt ct

#

Slg is a weird one cause you want to go ep Subt ct but it’s a little awkward to use

#

And you’re just there for boss damage anyways

#

So you usually just go single target

royal halo
#

As assassination, do you just shiv on cd?

crimson terrace
#

Yeah, but ideally you are reapplying bleeds b4 and pooling energy for envenom spam

balmy condor
#

Yup

limber lion
#

MFD for the boys

balmy condor
#

Mfd is a weird one for sure

eternal lance
#

whatis mfd ?

balmy condor

Marked for death

eternal lance

really you play with marked for death ?

#

on pve ? its posible ?

limber lion

On Huntsman, yes

balmy condor

In keys for sure as well

what is huntsman ?

balmy condor

It’s great in keys

Except that it doesn't always work, because Google is cray

limber lion
frozen jasper
#

Do you use mfd for CT in m+ After opener or what is the first use for mfd cp? Iβ€˜ve been doing ct off it

nimble spoke
#

I don't use MFD in M+. I'm sure you could

limber lion
#

Just use it as much as you can

#

And try to snipe low hp targets with it

frozen jasper
#

Yup, just trying to optimize the use of it because i Wasnt sure whats best to use it for

balmy condor
#

i've been playing NS MFD

#

and usually do MFD into CT

#

without NS, it's reasonable to mfd into slice on lower target counts

#

or hold till after your subt garrotes

#

and then rup mfd ct

somber wyvern
#

Guys do i need to delay flag (venthyr ability) to use same time as vendetta always ?

limber lion
#

You can try to sync the last cast of Flag with Vendetta if you don't lose a cast, but generally better to just use it on cooldown.

somber wyvern
#

okay thank you !

nimble spoke
#

the haste from flag is amazing

limber lion
#

Sure is

nimble spoke
#

I miss some parts of being necro, but being venthyr feels so good as a sin main

somber wyvern

btw is it good to use flag while at 5cp to use finisher right after ad starting with 5 stacks already ?

limber lion

okay thanks a lot

frozen jasper
#

Dumb question maybe but do we still CT in ST fights ?

limber lion
#

You don't spam it instead of Envenom, but you just apply the bleed and keep it up.

frozen jasper
#

Aight thanks, thats what im doing. just gotta keep up with everything i always fear missing something important in here lol

limber lion
#

No worries buddy. Just keep playing more and keep practicing and you'll get better. :p

chilly crane
#

could someone please help me with sin necro rotation in m+?

limber lion
#

Or you can use Raidbots' Quick Sim feature, sim for multiple targets and see what the sim does there

What legendary would you suggest is better for m+ 235 doom blade or MA?

limber lion
mossy crown

Bloody hell ain’t got that crafted yet.

DB is great this week

#

packs/pulls are relatively small & tyrannical bosses.

limber lion

A 190 Zoldyck will do just fine in M+, then you can invest into Doomblade for raiding

cinder moat
#

Hey guys, got a question regarding m+ too.
Im venthyr and quite often overcap hard on energy when 3+ targets have my dots.
I thought about trying Deeper Strategem instead of Vigor and Poisoned Qatar . Any experience regarding this ?

There are some people playing DS, but it does slow the openers a bit and doesn't feel as good to play with.

#

Most common setups are:
EP Subt Vigor CT
EP Subt MFD CT
EP NS MFD CT (with MA)
EP Subt DS CT

stoic needle
#

You also probably want to use wasteland propriety instead of PK

#

Have you been FoK on 3 targets pepehmm

slow marsh
#

:pepeclown-1:

cinder moat
#

yeah but when 3 mobs have garote and rupture

nimble spoke
#

The versa buff and finesse conduit are better than PK?

cinder moat
#

i cant press fok fast enough to not overcap

stoic needle
#

You don't fok on 3

#

Stop watching infexious

#

You only fok on 4+

limber lion
cinder moat
#

yeah i did read it

limber lion
#

It's inevitable if you have 3+ targets that live long enough and you have garrotes/ruptures on all of them

nimble spoke

stoic needle
#

Do the bosses take no damage from dots during the dance macabre in council? Should I bother refreshing dots beforehand?

#

Doing council and sludge mythic tomorrow for my trial

limber lion
#

But it's worth spamming Envenom's at the end to refresh SnD duration

#

So you don't have to reapply that

stoic needle
#

Are any gamers using doomblade for tyrannical week

limber lion
stoic needle
#

It's okay in certain dungeons

Maybe like top?

Theater, sanguine, plaguefall

#

I wouldn't recommend it much in others though

#

I did one key this week and said fuck it pepechortle

hushed sphinx
#

Ooh true zoldyck in SD is trash for last boss

stoic needle
#

Doing the ol' 1 a week

#

Yeah exactly

subtle kiln
stoic needle
#

Yeah since tanks won't be pulling big this week because of necrotic you can get away with doomblade easier

subtle kiln
#

unless you’re running some wonky ass off meta comp with no aoe, the bosses are more important and slamming the inspired mob

stoic needle
#

Unless they're absolute madlads who pull 5 etherwyrms and a full pack of 4 Angels + dark seeker in spires

nimble spoke
#

Oshosi, Wasteland Propriety is better than PK for m+?

stoic needle
stoic needle
nimble spoke
#

fair, more overall damage, then

Yeah but you were playing with decent players... Its hard to recommend doomblade for pugs

#

Those were the rh keys yesterday right?

subtle kiln
#

but our rogues don’t stand in tentacles in PF

Spires in general is a decent dungeon for DB because there's a lot of shit that needs to die asap

subtle kiln
coarse vault
#

Is there a reasonable low-haste setup for Assassination for someone looking for a high-downtime version, or is Haste just supremely good relatively speaking?

balmy condor
#

haste is way too good

stoic needle

You can go crit/mastery DS doomblade for big thicc envenoms

But it's bad

haste is your crack

limber lion

we're haste sluts here

what about M+, still rocking the Haste bod?

stoic needle

Yeah

coarse vault
#

ok sweet; thanks guys

stoic needle

Crit becomes a bit better but haste is still good

coarse vault
#

I guess our autos are pretty high portion of damage too

frail fossil
#

haste also increase bleeds' tick rate

shy dust
#

Woah

limber lion
#

Yeah, haste used to be our worst stat for a long time, but after the implementation of haste affecting bleeds in BFA, it became our best stat.

And also do good damage ofc

stoic needle
#

I mean it's a trial so it's mechanics first right

shy dust
#

The higher you go

#

The expectation is you can do both

#

Not mechanics first per say

#

Like yes mechanics are important but your dps should still not suffer if you get what I’m saying

stoic needle
#

Yeah I get you

shy dust
#

But it looks good as a trial generally

#

If you contribute to actually killing a boss versus top parsing

#

IE focusing attendant on council

limber lion
#

I was #1 dps in SLG as Outlaw, and I never play Outlaw

shy dust
#

Versus padding for a high parse

limber lion
#

Says a bit about our guild

shy dust
#

Though that doesn’t really apply to sin since it’s shit at damaging an attendant

limber lion
#

Fingers crossed you will not be #1 damage

stoic needle
#

Sin is so dog for killing attendants though painchamp

shy dust
#

The premise does though

#

Of contributing to a kill vs trying to parse

limber lion
#

Rae just snipes attendants with rupture

#

I see you

stoic needle
#

I wonder if it might be worth it to go outlaw on council

#

Idk

shy dust
#

Nah

nimble spoke
#

get that energy back XD

shy dust
#

Sub > outlaw

#

For council

#

At least pre 9.0.5

limber lion

Still is pretty sure

stoic needle
#

Hmm

limber lion
#

And surely you have that Finality banked

stoic needle
#

Even if my gear for sub is trash?

limber lion
#

Like the rest of us

#

meta slaves

shy dust
#

Depends on how trash

stoic needle
#

Imagine

shy dust
#

Assuming the gear is close

#

Sub can funnel for most of the boss encounter

nimble spoke
#

I made finality first πŸ˜…

stoic needle
#

My gear is mostly haste and crit not much vers

shy dust
#

Can burst the attendant

#

Outlaw can do attendant damage too

stoic needle
#

I actually have enough ash to make like a 225 finality

shy dust
#

But just does less boss damage than sub on that boss
