If you cast on the pull before anyone else hits it
smelly boy all the way
You can get a SBS up on Greshaal before he lifts off and becomes immune
It does no damage since he's immune
Vaughn found a funny SBS interaction on SLG, when an add on SLG would die with his and Seli's bone spike on it. It would refund them each 2 charges

Thats kinda big
Yeah I actually noticed it as well on HC with Garrote
But the DoT is still up for CP calculations
That's kinda sick tho
So you get +1 CP on all of P1 and P1 Intermission
Literal free CP
Which is nice
Ye damn
thats 200iq play
does the SBS need to pull the boss

300 iq play is to play with another necro lord so you just get a billion charges
Sbs at 5 guys
It's a projectile so you can launch around the same time the Wraths are almost there
That's what I found anyway
Ah fair enough
I wonder if blizz will fix that
or if they already have
I don't think they intended 2 necro rogues to refund each other 2 charges when 1 add dies
lol
Wait.. that works?
Hmmmm
👀
they didnt count on anyone bringing 2 rogues to raid 
Our other Rogue is Venthyr so I've literally never been in a group with another Necro Rogue so I wouldn't know
yeah, I was watching Vaughn on SLG and everytime an add would die he'd get 2 charges back because of Seli's bone spike I think
who brings 2 rogues to raid/dungeon?
BFA fanatics
Even we're only in together on like half the fights
MOAR rogues
I mean I am glad Necro is competitive because I really enjoyed the Necro gameplay on beta and I think it's just really fun to play
I've been trying to go back venthyr but I enjoy sbs way too much. I've got the second part of the quest up so I can loot a conduit
I miss Night Fae though 😦
Lol easiest way to get out of farm clear is “I don’t need any of this loot, I don’t bring an immunity or raid CD, I’ll sit”
Or more like, you miss Soulshape? 
I do miss fae but necro is soooo fun. I'm excited to see it in the new raid
This is why I went with Necro as well
I had a hard time getting used to Door of Shadows after swapping from NF

I totally forgot about it ><
I've used it once, we had a spooky blood price and it acutally saved me
This because you have to stop pressing movement keys or it cancels the cast. Hard to get used to
I mean I should use it on like SLG phase transitions or if I'm soaking
I just totally spaced
I'll get used to it eventually
reps baby
Yeaaah
Soulshape was a little more clear when to use it lol
If you channeled it during a roar would it stop the knock back?
I got used to using fleshcraft on denathrius P3, just cloak first price, craft second, cloak third
sooo 2 weeks after i swap venthyr im seeing necro stocks rising?? i love this game so much
!wa

Soulshape is the best covenant signature ability in the game, change my mind
impossible
Can’t argue with facts
needs more soul forms
Venthyr still the most popular by far, but I think Necro is competitive
that new emeni trait is so odd on PTR
I can't tell my friend's they're yoo-hoo the best for 24hrs with soulshape 
Well yeah in revendreth jumping off the big castles just to soulshape on the ground is actually bis and I miss it a lot.
Hmm if only
finally got a dagger and i want to try assasination, what lego have prio atm? doomblade right?
At this point I’m thinking about swapping back to nf for two weeks just to get the t2 achievement to get more anima
Yeaah
if you plan on doing any m+ as assa craft zoldyk
Yeah, for raids.
Maybe you grind Renown with every faction and at certain Renown levels you unlock the Signature and Class ability to use freely
🤔
only raids, my outlaw will be ready for that
then yeah go doom

on the glovies
thank you
Don't tease me

that would be nice, though screw kyrian
Soul shape but red and venthyr models
"We wouldn't want players to feel FORCED to go back to Oribos to use their brain and not be locked to arbitrary combinations, so instead we've decided to make you all sad instead"
We need to make impactful decisions
Koji yell at blizzard to remove the conduit energy system 
MeANinGfUL CHoiCEs
I progressed on SLG with Lashing Scars as Outlaw
Because I didn't have energy to swap on CtO
Then the natural progression is the last raid of the tier being very obviously made for having all the covenant signature abilites to move around/survive.

Like me choosing to go Necro 3 days before they add that achievement for Anima scaling
After I have R3 on my Night Fae buildings
And didn't get credit
!wa

GREAT system, I couldn't pvp for like a week because of that shit
Yeah I’m big mad. I might actually just switch back to get the achievement
I don't even have all r1 buildings on Venthyr and I've been here for a month now.

Yeah I thought it would apply to the achieves you had from previous covenants
cuz I had everything lvl 3 as venthyr
😦
Drop 70k on NF buildings after being a NF lifer since launch and avoiding changing until the last second
I'm the same. Guess I have to craft the stupid vampire party bullshit
aren't you guys excited for lvl 80 renown POGGGG
Just swap back for two weeks
tbh at this point I might as well go fae and get 40 renown and level 3 buildings there too
covenant world tour 
Which is just dumb
Don’t cash in the anima you get over the two weeks and you can just dump it into venthyr when you swap back
I mean I had a lot of anima banked when I swapped
It's more that I had just been upgrading NF for a long time
Or buy some mount or something and just bring it with you when you swap by selling it back after the swap
Because I had no plans to swap
this tbh, the only thing preventing me from switching from NF is how much anima i invested. and Soulshape lul
I swapped over with like 20k
soulshape is still by far the best covenant signature ability
So I have the R1 achievement now
so I don't blame you
But yeah it would be awesome if we had more flexibility
Like SBS+Soulshape would be pog
tbh rank 1 achieve requires only like 4.5k total
Rank 2 is a bit more juicy, and 3 is... too much.
Well I'm more limited on souls the first week anyway
I couldn't get R2 this week even if I wanted to
You could get 30 renown in like a day tho, so can't you just wait with doing the quest until 30?
could you theoretically just grind a buncha renown and get 20 souls?
15 easily
You can just switch back to the other covenant, pool your anima. Get the achievement, swap back. Put them in the reservoir. And get the benefit of the achievement for the two weeks of swapping back
Did you do the 5 souls quest before getting the 20 souls ability?
But to get R2 in all 4 buildings requires way more than that
can anyone help me with a macro Mutilate/Ambush that let me use the same keybind and use Ambush instead of Mutilate when i can use Ambush:)?
Its 8 per building for R2 other than the special which is 12
So 36 for all R2s
Takes 2 weeks minimum
Honestly, use a separate bind and just get used to it. It’ll be better in the long run for you. When you don’t run that talent you now have a new bind to use in the future 🙂
What Misty said, you gotta use an add-on to make the macro work and it's just way more effort than necessary
And R3 is 22 souls
Per building
So basically it will take me like 2 months to get the R3 achievement on Necro if I don't swap back to Night Fae and get it "for free"
Which is just dumb

But I'd love a system where we could swap more freely because the class abilities have such strong niches for Assassination in general
you mean 2 months of player engagement 👍
well luckily, we got at least 2 months before 9.1
seems like it achieves the goal of keeping you playing

Like Flag for ST and SBS for AoE is clearly a choice to make and it's kinda silly to make that "permanent"
MeAnInGfuL
Tbh we don't have it as bad as some classes
But it would be nice if you can just... choose between the covenant abilities like a spec if you are renown capped on all of them. Like a KSM but for covenants.
Yes I think you should unlock it forever if you max Renown
I mean this is the same company that effectively ruined m+ looting and had to copy and paste a system in to fix it
instead of just leaving it be
Yeah I agree. I like having the choice, but that being permanent ehhhh. Some classes get a covenant that works for all content
Actually
The reason I'm personally deciding to go Necro
Is that I think it shores up a weakness Assassination has
While still being fairly strong baseline
Trillseeker going off mid mechanic is a feels bad
lol
I don't even track it so I wouldn't know. Living in ignorance is bliss.
Yeah there’s no reason to track it
You use to be able to click off the stack i tough that was cool
So you could line it up where you want it

That was almost never worth it
Also can I like
And such a pain in the ass
Talk more Rogues into playing Assassination on Darkvein?
So I can get higher percentile parses?
Thrill seeker always procs during a mechanic or while I’m boogieing down
Freakin Rank 27 parse and still only 98% because too many jokers think Outlaw is still actually better on that fight 😛
I did my duty for you last night. Got beam on every single shiv and CD I popped solid gray parse 
Must kill boss
A lot of people think that when an encounter has adds = outlaw is better.
Even though Inerva is a full ST pump boss
Where you just bleed everything up to do more ST damage.
encounter has adds? i pad
Then half your raid spex aoe
just play subtlety
But the dps meter says outlaw is better
easy ranking
Wouldn't sub ranking be really really hard though?
With so little people playing it
Like a rank 2 would be a 95 or something lol
Just togle the boss dam chart <.<
na, you just need to be #1
I’m having a super hard time parsing with sin in mythic
Practice makes perfect
I mean Outlaw doesn't even do more damage on that fight anymore
It’s not like I’m really making any mistakes, it’s just fight duration, mechanics and itemization
SBS gave me like.. a casual +500 DPS on Darkvein though haha
Sheeez
just be like me and do every fight blue parse sin but u get rank 90 mythic cause u did every fight
This is my problem lol
79 now 
lol
my guild does 2 1 1 on denathrius and that is very much not a good strat for parsing as sin rogue
I don't know which covenant I want to play
since every wracked add dies fuckin quick
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
I'm a sucker for high sim numbers and high ST dps.
I mean I think both are fine tbh
Look at ptr over the next couple weeks and decide. I was thinking to go Necro but the nadja bonus conduit looks really good
Do you remember from the top of your head how much necro sims better in Dslice?
Well have to see what borrowed power comes in 9.1 and how ScAlinG effects us
Not off the top of my head though
And Necro doesn't seem to get much interesting that I've seen
A fair bit iirc
Yeah, probably quite a bit
I mean the other factor is that Necro is better for Outlaw atm
And I play Outlaw as well
Likely more in higher keys, I feel like getting the value out of sbs would be hard when firemage and monks delete it all anyways
If someone is being an Assassination one-trick, Venthyr seems fairly reasonable
But Necro is definitely viable imo
if i swich to necro to lvl it up is it easy to go back to venth later if i want?
I would just do it instantly
Venthyr is also viable for outlaw too
Just to give it a go and see how it plays out
Necro is kinda fun on fights like Sludge too since it gives something you can bank for pillars
might just switch to NL after we kill sire and get a couple of reclears in, just to get it prepped for next tier
Did they ever fix the mastery on initial hit thing
Mastery got removed from that yes
Otherwise Necro would be king
Honestly if they ever fixed SBS mechanically.. like Sudden Fractures not benefitting from Mastery and the DoT not being able to Crit
It'd probably be about the same as Venthyr
whats this i hear about sharpened blade being added to sin rogue
new pvp talent gives 40% healing redux for 9 seconds on shiv
It currently stacks with wound poison but I doubt that will go live
unless they intend to give assa essentially the same thing as sharpened
but we'll see
Master Poisoner+TTB+Hemotoxin burst build 😮
Just waiting for those Nightstalker+TTB screenshots in the PvP channels next patch
well we'll see how this new pvp gear scaling works
it already popped up on the ptr, base ilvl 200, 213 in pvp
im back
@stoic needle your WA doesnt really work with vigor lmao
it never procs
nonetheless a very good one
i need some help
i can only manage 2k dps on a dummy
Does that sim use raid buffs
idk
^
whats the diff ?
raid buffs/runes/etc are deactivated
oh right
i want to cast muti/finishers as soon as possible right ?
unless theres a point to pooling energy ?
Higher envenom uptime
More energy for shiv/vend windows
Higher elaborate planning uptime if you’re using that
Well the first 2 still apply
wait so what do i cast then if im at 5-6 combo points and everything is up
You cast when at max-1 cp, instantly in shiv/vend
Or you wait until about 30 energy from max otherwise
is this the way to go? i was finishing with <1 sec left on env buff
That’s how the sims do it
It naturally just pools for everything and maximizes your uptimes
So
Seems worth to me
i think it ends up being the same thing tho
Well not quite
yes it does
i was using it all last night with vigor
If you just finish in <1, you’re not technically pooling for shiv
i doubt it, envenom during shiv is a lot of dmg so it's a lot better to get 2 or 3 by pooling and losing a second or two on the envenom buff than just getting 1 envenom during shiv
You might do that in your gameplay
But just the rule <1 doesn’t cover all the bases
The same way energy -30 does
i mean yeah why wouldnt i use the weakaura i made

i get better results with it than without it so 
do you have an envenom buff bar?
my envenom buff does show up prominently on my bars yes
but the envenom buff and pooling to max-30 doesn't always line up
I'm confused as to why you'd ever need that information then
because they don't always line up
sometimes the envenom buff will drop and you still won't be pooled to max-30
Oh, and this is not a dps loss then? Not keeping envenom uptime higher that is
Just curious
good to know
what take prio, mainintg envenom or energy pooling ?
The uptime is the same
i mean, you don't 'lose' dps by the buff dropping off. pandemicing the buff doesn't magically give you extra buff uptime
its still the same duration
Pooling.
Your Envenom will be the same
thats highly counterintuitive lmao
Like if you have 5 seconds of envenom, and you wait till 1 second left, and get another 5 seconds, that’s 10 seconds total
I'm new to retail, will stygia likely still be used to socket the new gear coming with 9.1? I just hit exalted with Venari and was wondering if I may as well hold off on socketing my current gear
If you have 5 seconds
Wait 2 seconds
And then 5 seconds
You still have 10 seconds
Who knows
No, they said that there's a new currency
right but like if i have 1 second left but only say 50 energy should i cast it or not
Unless you can get an envenom up as it lines up with the previous one etc?
And you cannot use Stygia or the current socketing items to socket your gear.
That's why they are classified as "Season 1" sockets.
The socket item states its for season1 items
no you should not cast it
Perfect, thank you Ceverion
Does env buff buff ur next envenom? Or only poison damage?
so I always wait till at least 80 energy ?
it's max -30
Envenom is a buff to poison application
Not sure why so many people think that the Envenom buff increases poison damage
90 without vigor, 140 with vigor
It's literally just an increased poison proc chance.
right
crit haste on doomblade lego right?
Not increased damage.
Ye
not trying to contest it but why ?
Why do we pool you mean?
I think back in legion env also increased un nature damage or something like that
if you don't envenom until that threshold it guarantees that you have energy up for every shiv window, and that you don't clip the envenom buff and waste uptime
It was on the artefact weapon
Shiv does that (Toxic Blade back then)
It did not
There was a passive that increased poison damage
energy
Pooling moves resources into periods of higher damage
you pool around envenom to get mutilates to finisher-cp inside the window
i look at my energy bar too, but sometimes my outlaw brain gets the best of me and i want to envenom early, and the weakaura helps to remind me not to
slash it makes your energy in general line up better for shiv windows
unless a mechanic means i shjould anyway
its kinda weird especially on sludge no?
should be dumping for stomps and shit anyways
Well you don’t pool when you can’t
yeah i mean its a judgement call
regardless of energy since you'll regen while doing mechanics
This thing was on my mind guess i related that to env somehow
Aha yeh
rip kingslayers you were kings 😦
chuffa 900iq memory
I mean not really
y
Surge is a staple
He remembered something that increased envenom damage on envenom
If he said "Surge"
is it poison and not nature damage
And that did neither
or something
yeah thats why it says poison damage lol
It increases your deadly poison damage.
jesus christ
It says poison in the description
blizzard
I almost got it right
is cancer
Why is that blizzard being cancer
because our mastery says bleeds and poisons - affects envenom
zoldyck says Bleeds and Poisons - doesn't affect envenom

Mastery is the outlier
or is zoldyck the outlier 
Na
Def mastery
it doesn't matter it makes shit ambiguous as all fuck
mASStery if u will
I don't remember how exact mechanics work on every tooltip from 5 years ago so if I use a definition today
its just wrong
make zoldyck envenom 
thats why its bullshit
Well considering zoldyck doesn’t work, and surge didn’t work, and other poison affects don’t work
Mastery is the clear outlier
As the only thing
Which affects envenom
So yeah
Mastery is the outlier
TBH i learned that mastery affected envenom like a month ago
and it straight didnt matter
But imagine how dogshit our mastery would be if it didnt affect envenom
Not a single gearing decision in the last 4 years woulda changed
I had a brainfart about mastery affecting Envenom the other day as well
Like stats are already the same thing with different colors of paint
yeah ofc
speaking of colors of paint
They all basically increase 50% or more of our abilities, and that’s that
Like
Stats are incredibly boring
Is Haste still the goto stat w. the MFD NS build ?
Yes
wasnt it agonizing poison that got dmg amp from surge and you could increase envenom dmg with it
Fuck Agonizing Poison
I keep forgetting u take MA w/ it
I mean yeah
For that 1 patch
But agonizing has like 629594 other problems
I try my best to forget it existed
Worst talent they’ve ever made
lots of sick interraction <.<
I kinda miss having different kinds of lethals though tbh
Esp now that poisons arent an assa thing
Yeah I would like to have more types of poison
For M+, are we garroting beyond the first 3 from subterfuge?
Honestly i think all the Unpruning/classwide changes into SL for rogue were ass
Yes
Yes.
unless they spend 27432423 hours actually designing lethals that are interesting and you actually use different ones
agonizing was basically hunger for blood 2.0
yah its more the principle of it imo the flavor if u will
or have a lethal on a CD like fucking idk poison dip
So in a pack of 5, Garrote and maintain all 5?
kinda like shiv but cooler
or 3.0 possibly, forget if they had another thing like it inbetween
and you just pump
Imagine having to change poisons mid fight when adds are about to spawn...
You can’t get that many garrotes out, but yeh
basically im saying i dont like instant poison existing
Well you can't maintain 5 garrotes without using vanish
Right, copy that
just keybind it 
in ap ack of 5 you'd MFD-> Snd if u run it, then g-g-g-g-ct-fok-rup
assuming Zoldycks
i think the ct and rup are switchable if needed
as necrolord , what would be the optimal opener sbs>mut>snd etc or mut first? does it even matter?
Yeah, CT would come first on 5 mobs for sure
in ST: sbs->snd->mut (assuming MA talent)
But usually rup/ct in cleave is close enough
I tend to garr and rup both targets in 2T before using CT
tymen, also is sudden fractures conduit worth it?
SBS first just to get the dot up faster, i dont think it'll make a huge difference over a boss fight tbh
Yes, but you should sim it.
So what's the consensus on opening from stealth with mut vs sbs?
It’s the best conduit for necro in aoe and single target, yes
If the target doesn’t have the dot, you sbs
But it’s a difference of like
ranged opener we hunters now
5 dps
better than WPS? SF its like 8dps more in sims
so i pool for bigger flag/shiv windows ?
Yes
ok ty man gonna try it
You answered your own question
Yes
alright
yeah essentially
Can 213 poison katar drop in CN or is it only venari upgrade
ty
pulling slg 80 times then forgetting your regular ST opener 
the key part of pooling is to not over think it
pool for shiv but don’t hold shiv, slam it on CD
Ven'ari
im assuming maintaining rupture and garr take prio over pooling ?
its really just asking yourself "Will i be able to do what i need to if i burn energy right now"
^
Pool is just for envenom
yeah the only other buff management spec i play in enhance shammy and thats a case of cycling through buffs as fast as your limbs will allow
right ty
good to know all this
Yeah I figured it wouldn't be much
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a misplay to sbs from stealth
yeah so imagine you're playing enhance and if u spend too many globals before you press windfury or something you're forced to miss a global or two in that window
Well technically we pool on mutilate as well but I never mention it cause it’s such an edge case and so minimal that it’s not worth the energy talking about
yeah ok that makes snese
this is a 10/10 pun
Delete this rn

Well if your rupture is 2s away from pandemic and you're at 30 energy and max combo points, you should probably wait (pool) for 2s before reapplying Rupture.
watch me ping mods to pin it and get banned
CanOfWorms.gif
Basically yeah
and this circles back to "dont over think it"
What?
do you only pool mut if ur past a certain haste breakpoint where the spec "feels" good?
Exactly.
True. I guess it'd be more accurate to say don't delay refreshing in pandemic to pool
He did it twice today and got muted by Shien after several warnings.
I see
I mean lets be real sin is unplayable without 15.01%+ haste
I didn’t read mute logs today 
Yeh
Serves me right
how he get muted twice its only 1:30 :/
ive only been muted once lmao
Man's on a mission
Nah he pinged Blades twice.
lol lets keep it that way
well the first time cause they changed my name for no reason
Jesus
second time cause of poggers WA that was linked asking them to pin it
We had all orange boys and Fiery in here for a good while.
my brain is quite smooth


isn't it fantastic
truly a blessed day
I ping Fuu all the time and I don't get in trouble
on mythic council do you guys hold vandetta untill attendat has passed?
like on pull
things are about to get a lot funnier now my clown ass is in here
@vestal wren this guy ?
isnt first attendent 30s in?
Bruh
hey quick question - are the openers on Icy veins current.. for pve and pvp?
mute
it was good knowing you lads
godspeed
dunno im trialing tnight on it and i rly dont wanna fuck up
First attendent we usually have Boomkins blow up anyway before it does anything
ah ok
So I've never really delayed for it
I’m gonna blame koji for that one
ye we got 2 boomies as well

probably double checking now for you
I hold it but its mostly because of our kill timer
first attendant is not 30 seconds in on mythic council, maybe heroic
it’s like 8-10 seconds in
since its 8:30~ so im not losing a cast
Pve ones are, not sure who maintains the pvp one
because you cant get 4min one for us its always during dance
also - for necro - im using MA legendary, do you open with bonespike or stick with mut?
thats what i saw as well kinda
and why i was confused
good thing fuu is on dnd
Either
He always is
Yeah fuu’s always on mute
his discord probably looks like a christmas tree
no ping notifications 
with all the notifications and shit
Presumably cause dumbasses ping him for no reason
actually ban
Might wanna stop
like actually
Aight dude
just mute him for 24h
thanks
Didn’t you learn your lesson earlier

If you open with sbs you still want to use mut in the rest of the ma window right?
Ya
And good news in 9.1?
yah its just to get the dot up asap
Sbs Snd Mut or Sbs muti SnD
so no buffs I guess
ye ur right assa needs some buffs
i dont learn
We have basically 0 changes
they're not competitive at all
is doomblade much better than zoldyk in raid (heroic)?
In 9.1
I counted it out and if u're hammering the opener and somehow get 0 crit procs you still have enough time to env to refresh snd before it drops
That’s a problem
so u can very safely just always do sbs snd mut
that would require a wrinkled brain
to get buffs up quicker
Alright, good to know. The sim currently uses Muti if you only get 1 CP
Fuu can't get get panked by those april fools icon changes
Or at least since I checked it yesterday
Because all of his Discord servers look like that at all times
true
YEah 1 cp SnD is 12s and you env about 6s later in ST; might be different in aoe where you're holding the env longer
if using MA legendary though..
then you aint gotta worry about a thing :^)
tfw I have to get up and do stuff and I really don't want to
Getting 2cp from mut with MA talent is truly fucked up
lol
It's also really rare.
yeah, but memorable
Sometimes you get bad rolls
how is it possible not to get 4 from stealth with MA?
is it worth "wasting" the cp from shiv to get a good window ?
yes
You press Shiv on CD
also its only really relevent for the literal first global
aight ty
IDK if SBS is still used in subsequent vanishes w/ MA talent in st
anyone take a look at bosses on ptr yet and (from the available information) able to see if it’ll be a more ST/2 target (assa) or cleave (outlaw) heavy raid in 9.1?
Quite a few cleave fights
of course.. smh
But that doesn't mean that it's an "Outlaw tier"
Sin pumps hard on 2t cleave
Turns out the dot class is pretty good at cleaving too yeah
And there's going to be at least two of those
do y'all pre-pandemic apply dots if u get shiv in like 5 and garrote falls off in 9 and rupture in 11 ish
like random scenario
just tryna find out cuz i'm trying both rn
but i feel like pre-pandemic feels kinda meh
honestly i just take the shitty shiv window
If i have to rupture in it; i rupture in it
GEnerally that means you fucked up somewhere like 20s before that anyways
Stop thinking of shiv as an envenom buffer, and start thinking about it as uptime

Bottled Flayedwing Toxin work with doomblade?
If you use shiv thinking “I need higher shiv uptime”

Words
You got it
Damn what
Pins
That’s crazy
Who would’ve thought of that


wait a second
whyspir
whispyr*
arent you the dude that was on the marcelian podcast
I am
pog
Whyspir 

thanks
never heard of that lol
whispyr doesn’t get paid enough for this
I just live a cursed life of getting my name misspelled
wispeer
Wait we’re supposed to be getting paid?

Whydontyoureadthepinspyr
hahaha


Change your icon to 
lol
I’m on it

man if people keep saying that im gonna have to switch to necro but i hate their mog and mounts :/
Am i going crazy or why is druid roar breaking my shroud? 😛 Always been like this or something changed?
tried a PF +19 and after roar broke shroud 3 times we just for the luls tired it 2 more times. Same shit.
is there any other class in the game where you’d wanna play 3 covenants at once or are we the lucky ones
Warrior
like i wanna be NF venth and necro and it i think has been taking years off my life the stress it’s caused me the past few months trying to decide then swap then swap back lol
Just play all of them
I play ven cause pressing flag is a feels good button for me
Oshosi ABANDONDED US for the same reason: he enjoys pressing sbs
Sbs feels so right on sin

I also enjoy pumping in m+
SBS feels great to press
And you can't really pump in m+ with venthyr
Yah if ur a dork
Oshoi was an oGvampboi but he's a traitor now
I'm stinky now
ya my prob is i like to optimize my toon around raid, where i play assa 95% of the time, but out of raid i’m usually outlaw, and venth outlaw feels like straight ass
high key i just think flag is an amazing cd to have available for pridefuls and stuff
It's punishment enough
Its literally inverse-bladeflurry
u burna global and do too much damage to one thing instead
I didn't find flag to be a needed cd for pride when you already blow all of your CDs on pride
And my overall was doodoo
What is doodoo to you
we cant afford to burn everything into a pride and then have a sick ass 4 minute boss fight
Like barely 6k overall
That video was recommended to me Pog
Equal amount of effort as I put in
damn who's that cutie in the top right @surreal torrent
As is proper for Whyspir
Whispir is my favourite rogue guy :)
I don't think @surreal torrent is a real person
at least he had the respect to take out the background

He probably uses Photoshop, the mad lad
Kekbanned
paint 3D gang
is 17% "lot" of haste?
Raidbots already making me go full crit gems and enchants + deeper strat
over haste
250 dps gain according to sim
yep
that seems reasonable
especially with venthyr
which I assume you are
because I'm 900 iq gigabrain
im getting Exacting preparation soulbind as the best sim with dungeonslice. is that allright? or whats the recoomended tree?
exacting prep is fine
theotar wasteland propriety is also good
but you just have to make sure not to die or to refresh your food buff if you do die
Ok got it! thanks!
which bosses end up being 4+ minutes for you? i know you do a bit higher keys than I do but i don't think i've had one that long yet
Cev’s my new fav rogue person. I’ll edit that meme later to prove it
last boss NW, duel boss in top
probably more
Have you tried bonespike
yeah fuck xav
spires alst boss
true devos is thicc af

most bosses in pugs because other 2 dps find fun and exciting new ways to die
bro you can't tell me you haven't seen those forsworn clappers
25% haste and counting 
First in Mists on Tyr takes a long time
uhh basically all of DoS 'cept hakkar
and gnomes
so really just the dealer
if we burn shit on the prideful we go into the fight spamming firebal and SS
takes like 30s of pride buff before we're actually doing damage
honestly hakkar can realistically take 4 minutes if your healers good
but your keys dead at that point so
dos in general is some fuckery
My point is just that flag is a really good cooldown for prideful cause of how it works
i'm glad i got it as my key this week on fort instead of tyr
for sure, i don't disagree with you there
i just didn't feel like it ever made the difference between us killing the pride or not
Althought tbh i probably woulda swapped to NLord by now if i didnt also need to be the guy to take gargyles and open the code reds
I think its pretty inarguable that its the better cov in M+
Invest in a holy Paladin
we have one :/
Venthyr*
Kyrian :^(
could you imagine if flag blade flurried 
Initial hit does, at the very least
the lashes i mean
!guide
I'm pretty sure the bonus lashes from conduit also flurry since they're tucked into the initial it itself
I cna test that when i get home
but yeah the CP lashes def dont and that sad
bull you play assa or outlaw in ur high keys
Outlaw
bet
for the record i think Assa is super capable of doing 20+s
I just think our group benefits more from having outlaw rogues CC - more specifically it gets gouge and the rotation is ez monkey brain so i have the mental bandwith to be cc bitch at the same time
Also honestly for as long as @marble hemlock continues to play Outlaw i will play outlaw

yeah i play outlaw in keys also, just feels smoother atm for me at least
how far below venth is necro now in PVE ST?
100~
i believe the simsare in pins
Cool concept that I just knew would be miserable in m+ especially because the buff doesn’t make up for the dps lost
yeah idk why the buff is so low
i don't think the pinned sims have been updated with the new gemstone sbs dumping optimization which narrows the gap a bit more
They should make the buff scale with key level or something
huh?
they should remove that fight
koji came up with an optimization that brings necrolord to within 1% of venthyr
wherein you wait until the marrowed gemstone proc activates and then dump all of your sbs charges
The true dream is running rogue Fmage afflock, fmage busts and the rogue and the fmage get sent down as the banner spawns
Come up with an assa build that works at high keys so I don’t have to be sad anymore pls
LEaving the poor warlock trying to figure out how to kill a banner by himself :^(
gimme 15k stygia
Take all my Stygia man
so i can add 2 sockets to my high crit bracers/neck
you building it as crit/haste or crit verse?
my M+ sin set is up to 34% mastery
pretty pog Sub M+ set u got there 
i wish sub wasn't dogshit i wouldnt mind playing it in keys too
sub be 
Oh no
Especially council
YEah but tbh im only playing it cause the rotation is pretty brain dead so i can focus on mechanics without losing too much damage
and also because I'm getting UTTERLLY FUCKED by my guild on sunking
rngesus gave me the bis sin crit mastery neck so i took it as a sign from the lord that i should return back to my spec in keys
Tbh I don’t know if there’s any way that fight goes smooth for anyone
Sun king is legit such an awful fight
and then we call a stop dps because our dps is way ahead of our healers
For 1 min
bruh lol that is a wild graph
I literally didnt press a button for 45s
Your parse might be low if you afk for a minute
then i pressed feint
same. grey parse gang 
how are your healers behind?
Sire has that problem too
they havent made a healer combust yet
Sure they have, it’s called mist weaver
And 2 holy priests
And you just face roll it
We just pop like 3 combusts and Warlock 1 minutes into the opening pack it it melts
2 Hpriests make the fight a joke
Oh
yeah that’ll do it
Don’t worry in August when 9.1 comes out we can laugh at the fire mages
id like to build it as crit mastery
Bro mage will still be busted in 9.1 😦
but game doesnt have crit mastery items
beyond true
Buncha fuckin haste mastery though
It’s actually so tilting to get haste mastery gear
Is the team that designs loot all resto druids or something?
I looked on the ptr and there seems to be a better balance of secondaries on gear in the new tier
In the raid at least
I regret turning down that 226 crit mastery chest 2x in a row
you gotta sync cd's and trinkets with the pillar hits
potion
make sure bleeds are up before he crashes into it
shiv can get a bit wonky if you forget to watch the timers
but theres prob ppl here with better tjips than the obbv ones 😛
uh small things like flagging before finisher and not before a generator
so it's shiv on pull, shiv between pillar, shiv pillar1, shiv between pillar, shiv pillar 2, shiv between pillar, shiv pillar 3
you are refreshing bleeds during pillars
yeah that's a pretty yikes
super small thing but u popped ur potion middle of 4th pillar
its better to just not be in that position ever
yup just so it covers the 10s
like this is kinda awk
ya dont waste a gcd in shiv / pillars
not really necessary, its a slight dps increase but the only real pooling i end up doing is for shiv which is just because of having to run out
You still did 7k though... so im curious rhett these tips will do for you next time!
are you comparing a 5:15 kill to a 4:39 kill and wondering why you have more envenoms?
you're also using vigor
with is really weird
like it would be fine if you ran EP
but you ran both BS AND vigor
which is just for sure wrong
he played BS vigor?
that's so troll
with high haste, you have to drop one
and ESPECIALLY with venthyr
not playing
smh
yeh you also just got fucked with crits
but that's nothing you can control
I'm not sure when venthyr wants to drop BS/vigor
but it's like
stupid low haste
I'm not sure if you'd actually ever run bs/vigor as a venthyr
even 0 haste
I mean I don't see your meters
but you're not doing more aoe with those talents
at least not because of those
Not playing with Vigor feels to me like playing at 0.5speed. Sure does more dmg but, just so slower
Me gusta low apm sin
more buttons = moe dam
