assassination is the best spec for m+ in my heart

gusty mirage
#

Does just fine up until 21+s

#

Ryfie’s timed 20s and 21s as sin and is probably pushing 22s

wary ice
#

^ that 20s are about where i would stop considering assa for a key

drifting cloud
#

hes done 24s

charred mango
#

so far we havent really had much change for rogues in 9.1, is there anything you guys are hoping for?

minor void
#

better AOE

#

or rather cp generation would be nice

wary ice
#

Make sub a real spec again plz

charred mango
#

agreed, i want to main sub again

minor void
#

sub was fun untill Assa pulled ahead

charred mango
#

im enjoying assas more than i expected, but if i could go sub id swap right away

wary ice
#

honestly dont care about the numbers

#

sub is straight not fun right now

#

granted bigger numbers are fun for sure

charred mango
#

i miss DFA crits the most

wary ice
#

I miss any sort of planning on the spec

charred mango
#

yep

minor void
#

can honestly play it with 2-3 buttons

wary ice
#

Assa changes: give subterfuge 2cp garrotes from stealth

#

and thats about it

#

Specs fine imo

charred mango
#

ooo yeah that would be ideal

wary ice
#

Outlaw is probably in its best form, minus target caps

minor void
#

I refuse to play pirate

wary ice
#

you're missin out

#

CTO is an amazing addition to their kit

balmy condor
minor void
#

Give me dagger specs bro Im a rouge

balmy condor
#

A MAN OF CULTURE

minor void
#

stab and poison from the shadows

#

like tbh Sub is losing out becuase backstab sucks

balmy condor
#

Aight too far

#

Go back

wary ice
#

its not supposed to be good :/

#

at least in current design

minor void
#

they need better damage out of dance windows and the other talents that aren't double dance need a buff

#

if you aint dancing youre doing nothing

charred mango
#

i really miss that prep-burst playstyle that we had before in legion

honest karma
#

Is there anyone here who is necrolord? thinking of swapping to it, but wondering how it feels to play

lofty shell
#

i swapped from venth to necro and its pretty sweet

#

but for pure ST venth is still better, necro just allows more efficient outlaw play and IMO the fleshcraft thing is more useful than door of shadow

honest karma
#

yeah doors is just meh haha

lofty shell
#

fleshcraft is pretty poggers

#

its a pretty big absorb just the cast kinda needs some thinking if u wanna use it to mitigate mechanics in raid or something

polar cape
#

Door outside of the aoe cc, i hate everything about it

gusty mirage
lofty shell
#

and fleshcraft in plaguefall is just poggers

#

but u could say the same for venth pots in sd and stuff :p

polar cape
#

Venthyr dongeon stuff are the most impactful imo

honest karma
#

truue, I most likely wont touch outlaw tho tbh, but wonder how it is in keys. would really like to try it in pvp 😄

#

fuck it im doing it, only 2 weeks if i wanna go back anyway 😄

lofty shell
#

sbs takes some time getting used to

#

get the mouse over macro from the start

honest karma
#

will try it without first, but might have to get that 😄

strange python
#

when should I use memory of past sins? just on cd?

#

trying to learn opener but not sure when to incorporate the trinket

lofty shell
honest karma
#

haha yeah if u dont like target swapping u shouldnt play assa :p

lofty shell
#

ye in outlaw it matters cause you wanna keep hitting the BTE target

gloomy fern
#

Use memory prepull and then on cd

#

You can use it up to 20s before pull or so for full use

limpid dove
#

is there a preferred spot for the zoldyck? Legs or Feet?

gloomy fern
#

Legs for more stats

strange python
#

but assa is better single target regardless so do u need to worry about target swapping?

limpid dove
#

thanks

balmy condor
strange python
#

does ma affect any of the trinket possiblity to crit?

balmy condor
#

Nothing affects trinkets

strange python
#

really? thought with outlaw bte affects trinket ability to crit

#

i know different spec but jus asking

balmy condor
#

Yeah but we don’t recognize outlaw here

strange python
#

true true haha

balmy condor
#

Planned execution also works

strange python
#

wow thats lame we have nothing to help trinket crit

balmy condor
#

For sub

strange python
#

thats bull

soft shale
#

only neat thing with trinkets you can do right now is using iqd on bl and it lasts 25 secs

#

so you can use the other on use

balmy condor
#

No it’s not bull

#

It’s completely normal

soft shale
#

with extra vers/haste/crit

strange python
#

wait should i be going to try and get an iqd?

#

i have memory of past and phials

soft shale
#

not a huge gain raid trinkets are quite fine

#

those are good

strange python
#

i swtiched skulkers for memory cause it simmed +4 dps lol

#

but i think i might go back to skulkers cause im not seeing how memory is suppose to work

#

also is there any need to use poisoned knife?

#

in rotation

gloomy fern
#

When ur away from boss to not cap energy

fallen arch
gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

Does this look like a mage discord

gusty mirage
#

Just an undercover shaman discord

strange python
#

WE ARE NOT FIREY BOIS

fallen arch
#

K

strange python
#

okay okay and lastly if im doing huntsman and i wanna switch to borghast i should only be switching on to any add to put garrot and rupture on?

gloomy fern
#

I'm a mage 🔥

fallen arch
#

So nothing affects trinkets for rogues

gloomy fern
#

Nothing for sin

#

Literally says a few rows up

strange python
#

like I have to worry about switching back and forth to be applying garrot and rupture? sounds so intense lol

balmy condor
#

Gotta fucking add

terms and conditions may apply, if you play a different class that has one niche thing that applies to my statement, that’s fantastic, im very glad. This is a rogue discord and the question is about rogues, so please keep that in mind. Don’t overanalyze a simple answer to a simple question, because honestly that’s just a fucking headache for me and results in me having to add this disclaimer

lofty shell
balmy condor
#

To every answer I give

soft shale
#

not extends you get 5 extra and highest stat at that time

#

and on use trinkets have 20 secs cd between them

#

so you can use the other and still have that crit/vers

lofty shell
#

oooooo i get what u mean

lean rover
#

!disclaimer

#

damn too soon

soft shale
#

that is why iqd+dreadfire is kind of neat

lofty shell
dim temple
#

26%crit and 24% haste or 29% crit and 22% haste?

soft shale
#

not a huge change

gloomy fern
#

27.5 crit or no go

#

27.55 even better

dim temple
#

ok so hit around 27.55

gloomy fern
#

But 27.555 bestest

soft shale
#

just pick what gives you more agi

dim temple
#

thanks all 🙂

soft shale
#

and sim the thing you want to do

gloomy fern
soft shale
#

unless you talking pvp then #pvp

dim temple
#

Whispyr: answers a question
Random guy: WELL IN SONIC ADVENTURES STAGE 6 THE RINGS MAKE SONIC FASTER, AND THUS AGILITY, ON TOP OF THAT, THEYRE SET UP IN A PENTAGRAM SO YOU CANT JUST SAY “NO RINGS GIVE AGILITY”

sonic schooner
gloomy fern
#

Is whispyr a broken man?

gusty mirage
#

we've broken him

polar cape
#

Customer service tend to do that to people

balmy condor
#

I work customer service irl as well

gloomy fern
balmy condor
#

I fucking hate humans

gusty mirage
#

I technically work in customer service

#

and I agree 110%

balmy condor
#

I’m happy when they take me off the desk and I can work as a mechanic

#

Because at least the machines don’t actively fight back when I scream at them

gusty mirage
#

my job comes with the caveat that people like to tell me how to do my job even though they're not licensed to do my job

lofty shell
#

lmfao

#

i did customer support for a little bit

grand ridge
#

Make sure it's garrote rupture AND deadly poison

lofty shell
#

and one guy at the phone was like

lofty shell
#

bro stop working for that company cuz its a sinking ship

#

i was like yea i cant say ur wrong

grand ridge
#

If you lose the poison you lose the energy regen

It does make sense that Sonics speed is tied to his agility.

gusty mirage
polar cape
#

Buuuuut

balmy condor
#

I had someone ask if they can split the bill 17 ways, and I said no, so they took my card reader and went “sure you can, look!” And started going through menus “here enter your code”

#

So I laughed at them and told them to leave

pliant apex
#

You work in restaurant?

balmy condor
#

I work at a bowling alley

gusty mirage
#

I had someone throw an extra hot latte at me when I worked at starbucks because they had to wait 3 minutes for it

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

if I ever find that human being in public, I'm going to prison

balmy condor
#

Anyways

#

Sin rogue is a lot like customer service

#

Because we do no damage and the mage yells at us

normal mist
#

LOL

balmy condor
#

Am i rite

gusty mirage
#

dude true

#

are mages the Karens of wow?

polar cape
#

Boumy are worst imo

gloomy fern
#

Boomies just don't know how pull timers work

eternal finch
#

guys do you know what is fastest or best way to level up new covenant specific conduit?

gloomy fern
#

Kill the boss who drops it

gusty mirage
#

kill sire

balmy condor
#

Yeah

gusty mirage
#

and the world boss

balmy condor
#

Kill sire

lean rover
eternal finch
#

I did world boss without thiking day before

#

but ye, forgot about sire

gusty mirage
#

yeah then run sire on LFR, normal, and heroic

balmy condor
#

Callings give 200 ilvl

gusty mirage
#

^ that too

balmy condor
#

That’s good enough

eternal finch
#

can callings drop covenant specific one? o.0

gusty mirage
#

yea

eternal finch
#

I didn't know that

#

oh, awesome

gusty mirage
#

its a random conduit

polar cape
#

@lean rover meh if they brg detail i brg the last time they died with block up and 3cheath dead <.<

icy haven
#

hoping for that sudden fractures from dena 😄

gusty mirage
#

but if your covenant one is the lowest its pretty much a guarantee one of them will give you it

#

assuming less than 200 ilvl

limpid dove
#

what item level are you able to get through a torghast layer 8?

limber lion
#

150

limpid dove
#

lol

#

just sneaking through?

limber lion
#

Twisting Corridors or the normal one?

#

TC is a bit different

limpid dove
#

normal layer 8 for soul ash

limber lion
#

Yeh

gusty mirage
#

you could do it at any ilvl

limber lion
#

You can do it at any ilvl

gusty mirage
#

it'll just be harder the worse your gear is

limber lion
#

You just need to be a bit slower and kill more stuff for more powers

#

But once you have 3x unceasing chain link, it's over

#

Then you run past everything straight to the boss

eternal finch
limber lion
gloomy fern
#

ppl actually kill stuff as rogue in regular l8 monkaS

limber lion
strange python
#

@limber lion if there are two targets am I switching to always make sure each one has garrote rupture and poisons on them running all at the same time?

limber lion
#

Can't probably slam the floor mini-bosses

strange python
#

how about if theres three lol?

gloomy fern
#

who is 120 without trying to be bad kekw

limber lion
strange python
#

its very very overwhelming starting out i must say

balmy condor
limber lion
#

After 3 it gets a bit hectic and you might change it up a bit.

#

As you cannot get 4 garrotes up

strange python
#

@balmy condor lol whispyr you dont have to answer if youre feeling overwhelmed

balmy condor
#

And technically CT as well

limber lion
#

And you start using the best generator in the game

#

FoK

strange python
#

I just started like 3 months ago so i apologize

#

oh okay thanks

limber lion
#

No worries mate

limber lion
#

We wouldn't be here answering stuff if we didn't want to

#

Speaking for myself here, Whispyr is probably at gunpoint at all times

balmy condor
#

Zine puts me back in my cage every night

sudden hound
#

I was gonna say. I heard green names are required ti be here and answer questions

hollow escarp
#

no lol

limber lion
#

Yeh that's why a lot of them get demoted after a while

For being inactive

gusty mirage
#

balmy condor
#

Secret lab

limber lion
#

Whispyr was a decent redname back then

#

One of us

#

Now he's above us all.

gusty mirage
#

hollow escarp
#

gusty mirage

That's the beauty of sin. Starting slow in ST and ramping up in AoE

gusty mirage
#

shy dust
#

What if with the MA talent

balmy condor
shy dust
#

You apply max bleeds

limber lion
#

Even though Mystler disagrees

lofty shell
lean rover
hollow escarp
#

sin is like diesel engines

shy dust
#

Then sit in stealth for their entire duration

#

50% bonus crit the ENTIRE DOT

limber lion
#

stahp

strange python
#

1 is mutilate snd mutiliate then garrote then mutilate to 5 then use flagg and vend than rupture than go to 5 and use shiv then vanish into envenoms?

that ST opener looks solid tbh

shy dust
strange python
#

so then lets say i want to go to two after i have that down...should i focus my opener on 1 and then when i finish with the vanish and envemon now start putting bleeds on others?

balmy condor
#

Worrying about openers FeelsWeirdMan

hollow escarp

gusty mirage
lofty shell
limber lion
#

No doubt in my mind.

wary ice
#

lofty shell
#

do some dummy do some lfr do some dungeons and practice 😄

hollow escarp
#

like being over 10k dps for more than 20 sec feels so good

wary ice
#

Oxi left blue:^(

gusty mirage
#

I did

limber lion
#

Good

gusty mirage
#

I spent my life as a red boi and I was lost but now I'm found

lofty shell
#

lmao

limber lion
#

One. Of. Us.

lofty shell
#

i started with sub fotm poggers

gusty mirage
#

I started with sub because I thought it'd be fun to play again 😦

#

I WAS LIED TO

hollow escarp
#

i converted to sub after I failed 3 torghasts in a row as assa

#

before nerfs

wary ice
#

lol how

hollow escarp
wary ice
#

assa is free af in torghast

lofty shell
#

lol

wary ice
#

even before its buffs lol

lofty shell
#

first weeks torghast was LEGIT hard

hollow escarp
#

stop pretending

limber lion
#

9.0 Torghast was pretty bad

hollow escarp
#

we did no damage

#

and torghast was hard

lofty shell
#

ye lmfao

wary ice
#

Man maybe

hollow escarp
#

leeching poison was shit

lofty shell
#

i had to run with a prot pala to get it done

wary ice
#

I dont remember ever having issues with roghast ngl

gusty mirage
#

I remember layer 8 getting sketchy at times

wary ice
#

I've soloed it since it came out

gusty mirage
#

but besides that it was fine

hollow escarp
#

soothing darkness saved me DepressedChamp

limber lion
#

I legit couldn't kill the last boss at times

shy dust
#

Torghast wasn’t even too hard back then

hollow escarp
#

yeah, on 3rd week I started playing assa in Torghast

limber lion
#

Even though I geared for boss onöy

shy dust
#

We just had very shit gear

lofty shell
#

i remember layer 3 one of the first weeks felt like layer 18 in tc or some shit

hollow escarp
#

and died with boss at 4% hp

limber lion
#

The boss which had 8 shields was imba

hollow escarp
limber lion
#

Once the shields were down, he would one tap you

wary ice
#

AHHH ok i do remember this

#

It was literally just boss roulette though

limber lion
#

Yeh

lofty shell
#

ye

limber lion
#

Some were ez

wary ice
#

you'd get to floor 3 and check if it was the easy guy and just reset

limber lion
#

Some were literally imba

strange python
#

I can just use fan of knives to quickly get poisons on others around sigh why did I not even realize that

shy dust
#

All you needed to do was play sub

#

And you cleared

limber lion
#

We didn't even have those boss holograms in the beginning

balmy condor
shy dust
#

Was very hard to die as sub

limber lion
shy dust
#

Especially with any of the % hp powers

hollow escarp
lofty shell
limber lion
#

Yap

lofty shell
#

loooooool never realized what that was for

shy dust
#

Any hp gain

lofty shell
#

lmfao

gusty mirage
#

yeah those weren't added for a few weeks iirc

limber lion
shy dust
#

Plus the 3% heal per second in dance

#

Made dying very hard

hollow escarp
#

yep

lofty shell
#

i abused that sub talent hard

hollow escarp
#

it didn't change btw

#

works the same

dull cloak
#

i just remember all the people saying rogue is impossible on torghast during the first month of SL

balmy condor
#

We just had to out tank everything

wary ice
#

They def put way too many "and now vanish does this" abilties into the anima power pool

limber lion
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

Instead of take 2 traits and skip everything

shy dust
#

Yeah we didn’t have dps powers that were strong

wary ice
#

Uhhh no

shy dust
#

First step was nuts but impossible to get

wary ice
#

we had unceasing chain still

limber lion
#

Boss doing 80% of my health with one hit was brutal

gilded belfry
#

Wasnt impossible. Wasnt tank stupid easy though and Vanish based talents just reset so they were troll

lofty shell
#

ye dps power were actual troll

limber lion
#

The scaling thing was shit

stoic needle
#

We hadn't scaled enough with gear yet kekw

shy dust
wary ice
#

never had that happen

#

only ever watched garrote tick for 12k

stoic needle
#

It was extremely common

icy haven
#

unceasing is the shit tho

shy dust
#

That was a very common occurrence

#

You could have 4 stacks of the chain

icy haven
#

50k mutis and 100k garrote dam

shy dust
#

And get to boss with only 1 stack left

limber lion
#

Yup

icy haven
#

so it would consume a charge?

wary ice
#

Honestly back when kyrian was the shit

limber lion
#

No

#

They just disappeared

#

For no reason

hollow escarp
#

I was never kyrian

icy haven
#

big oofs

hollow escarp
#

nf from start

shy dust
#

The sepsis power was actually nuts

stoic needle
shy dust
#

The explosive sepsis power

wary ice
#

the best build was a fuck ton of unceasing chains + the finishing on 7 resets ER

icy haven
#

3x unceasing and the sbs damage one from max range is the shit

dull cloak
#

Nf sepsis anima power one shot end of floor boss if you pulled extra mobs into.it

icy haven
#

300k sbs on the boss yday

limber lion
#

Brainwash them all

hollow escarp
#

my fav anima power was the Sepsis that spreads to close enemies

#

I miss that a lot

limber lion
#

That was insane

hollow escarp
#

easy cd reset

limber lion
#

Spread to 3 mobs around your main target

shy dust
#

They each gave stacks of groove invigoration

limber lion
#

Those die

#

And spread it to the big dude

shy dust
#

Could easily get 40 stacks

limber lion
#

Yep

hollow escarp
#

yeah, but cap was 50

#

I think

#

I abused some maw rats

#

with that

dull cloak
#

oh i didnt even notice thr invig stacks

hollow escarp
#

for testing purposes

#

the flag one isn't bad either

#

the extra strikes

icy haven
#

the necro ones are way stronger imo

limber lion
#

The haste one is nutty

#

But the bosses die too quick

#

So yoy don't get much use out of it

hollow escarp
#

yeah, but rn I just stealth to last boss, do some objective and kill last boss

limber lion
#

Yup

hollow escarp
#

unless I'm boosting an alt or playing with a friend

stoic needle
#

Around what renown do random heroics stop giving you renown?

hollow escarp
#

I've got one at 16 renown

#

did a calling on an alt and got renown from HC

stoic needle
#

I'm at 20 and they're still giving it

hollow escarp
#

it's probably random

stoic needle
#

One per dungeon

#

Each one takes like 10 minutes it's really nice

hollow escarp
#

I play sub in heroics

stoic needle
#

Lol I should try that

#

I've been playing the NS MfD MA build

#

Which feels weird as shit as necrolord

hollow escarp
#

I always try different stuff in low content

#

on my hunter tried to play survival and I have no clue what buttons to press PepeClown

gusty mirage
#

oh that one's easy

#

go to character select

#

and push the delete character button

hollow escarp
#

I think a good start is to not let energy bar cap

stoic needle
#

Press the ones that do damage

gusty mirage
stoic needle
hollow escarp
#

well, I did beat an outlaw rogue

#

on one pull

#

4.8k dps PepeClown

#

he probably had to open door for food delivery, but that doesn't count

stoic needle
#

I did 12k dps on tred'ova last night kekw

#

Ppl in my groups are like "thanks for the carry"

hollow escarp
undone eagle
#

Anyone here using the addon threat plates? when i manage to do target focus i make rest of mobs 90% more dark health bar but when i bleed them all they are all as a target for me, why???

#

i wanna see who im focusing

stoic needle
#

We had the tank and healer leave after the first boss in SD, so i just became the tank

#

Made it to the groundskeeper who summons the tornadoes before I died

hollow escarp
#

tricks another player

stoic needle
#

Heroic mobs aren't that hard

hollow escarp
#

and you are safe

rain bobcat
#

Anyone have any tips to optimally using crimson tempest based on number of targets?

gusty mirage
#

anything under 8 just try to keep it up

#

if you got more than 8, CT until you get it on all I guess

balmy condor
#

yep

#

maintain on 1-8, 9-16 you try and get it on everything

Awesome thanks. Im just looking on top parses for mythic stone legion and they seem to cast it a lot...

undone eagle
#

Guys do you have an addon for targets when you bleed around?

balmy condor
undone eagle
#

that your main target is a bit thicker plate or the other mobs gets a bit fade

balmy condor
#

every nameplate addon has that setting

undone eagle
#

I try to do it

#

when im on my main target the other mobs gets darkened by 90%

#

but somehow all of them start to be my main target when i bleeded them

#

idk why

balmy condor
#

sounds like you set it up wrong

undone eagle
#

you know about threat plates right?

#

I can send you a SS of what Ive don

#

Done*

balmy condor
#

I use plater

undone eagle
#

But experienced from threat plate?

balmy condor
#

I don't think I've even heard of threat plates

#

in the last like

#

6 years

undone eagle
#

really its bad?

balmy condor
#

no clue

hollow escarp
#

it's not bad

balmy condor
#

I thought the addon got discontinued

undone eagle
#

But how do you set it up when you wanna focus targets?

hollow escarp
#

but Plater is much more easy to customize

#

I used Thread Plates a lot

undone eagle
#

you make others darkened and main target lighter

#

?

hollow escarp
#

but now I have elvui

#

ngl, I keep my nameplates basic

#

and I just follow the bleeds numbers

#

no flashy stuff

#

although that might help my dps in keys

undone eagle
#

It does yeah , its easier to see who you on

#

sometimes i rebleed same target who alrdy has a good duration

#

so i had to fix this problem

hollow escarp
#

I think Seliathan used Thread Plates, not sure if he is still using them

#

you could take his profile and compare

gaunt geyser
#

btw i got question about nameplates. What do you guys using i just downloaded plater and i'm curious. Is it any setting in plater to sort my debbufs

ionic kelp
#

i use plater, and just get a profile off wago. works well

balmy condor
#

I can send my profile as well

ionic kelp
#

nice cause you can hover over debuffs/buffs and it'll show tooltip

hollow escarp
#

the thing I hate about Plater is that I get so picky and I waste too much time setting up how nameplates look LULW

#

so after wasting 1hour I just delete it and use basic elvui

gaunt geyser
#

is it any option to do that ?

limpid violet
#

!guide

gaunt geyser
#

will be much easier to track

hollow escarp
#

if I was to track it like that, I would prefer them by % duration

#

instead of time left

#

for tracking pandemic

#

but I cba PepeLaugh

wary ice
#

just pick one :^(

#

I personally use kui cause of what you were talkinga bout though

#

the defaults are solidly good enough

hollow escarp
#

I usually go back to default every 1-2 months

#

then back to elvui

#

not very consistent on my UI

wary ice
#

I left elvui soley becasue i disliked maintaining it manually :/

hollow escarp
#

I dislike default elvui, it's so bad and fonts are terrible

vagrant bison
#

@balmy condor do you have a script for plater that changes the bar colors when you have for example garrote up on them?

wary ice
#

also because my profile sucked ass

#

from a time i was playing on a much smaller screen

vagrant bison
#

i tried to look on wago but haven't found anything

balmy condor
#

and that's basically it

wary ice
#

why change the bar color when you have a big square that shows it?

hollow escarp
#

that should be good enough

#

better than ordering them by debuff duration

vagrant bison
#

because when you have a lot of targets it would make easier to see if one has a dot on it or not

#

at least imo

wary ice
#

If you do it like that

balmy condor
#

but that's what the nameplate is for

#

right?

#

like you see the nameplate

#

and you see it doesn't have the dot

#

that's the whole point

wary ice
#

You're going to need literally uhhhhh like 9~ ish different colors for all the permutations of bleed/poison uptimes

vagrant bison
#

i would make it only for 1 dot though

stoic needle
#

Mine doesn't order by duration

vagrant bison
#

and, if you have a lot of nameplates, between ct, garrote and rupture is pretty confusing. But ui is a matter of preference

stoic needle
#

But it filters out a lot of the clutter debuffs that are tracked my default

vagrant bison
#

@stoic needle i actually tried yours yesterday and it spammed my chat with errors xD

hollow escarp
#

I track garrote and rupture with base WA when target swapping, and use nameplates to track remaining duration

stoic needle
vagrant bison
#

yes it is

stoic needle
#

What were the errors

vagrant bison
#

but, i was curious about the purple bars

#

like

#

those are for targets with rupture on?

stoic needle
#

Purple means it's a dangerous enemy, or that it has an expiring dot

#

Something that has a cast that needs to be kicked

fervent fog
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
stoic needle
#

I'm probably getting rid of the colors for types of enemies because you should know those by now

vagrant bison
#

yeah, i thought it was for debuffs

#

i am actually pretty happy with the plater i made, just looking for a script that changes the bar color based on the presence of a debuff on it

#

i am actually pretty happy with the plater i made, just looking for a script that changes the bar color based on the presence of a debuff on it

stoic needle
#

There is one included by default with plater you just have to enable it

vagrant bison
#

mhhh let me check

#

can you send me yours? i think i deleted mine time ago. i only have the one that makes the debuff glow

stoic needle
#

It should be part of the one I linked earlier

#

It might also be under the modding section I don't remember

vagrant bison
#

fair enough

wary ice
#

for future reference u can paste your Shift-win-s snips directly to discord

faint canopy
#

Do you guys think the new soulbinds will affect which covenant is bis?

wary ice
#

I mean yes.

balmy condor
#

typically that's how that works, yeah

#

new shit changes balance

#

and soulbinds are part of cov balance

wary ice
#

changes to 50% of the benefit of taking a specific covenant will likely have an impact on the balances between them

#

There isnt a whole lot of point making decisions on current ptr builds though

short hamlet
#

@balmy condor my lad, are you still in the self harm procedure of doing log reviews?

balmy condor
#

I do them every now and then

halcyon raptor
#

Out of curiosity, how proficient is everyone in m+ as sin

balmy condor
#

idk what that question is supposed to mean

#

you can see sin rogue's here

vestal wren
#

assassination is underrated for m+

sick scarab
vestal wren
#

ofc outlaw has a slight edge, but it does not make assassination terrible

limber lion
#

If something is not "OP", it's bad.

#

That's the crowd mentality

vestal wren
#

a lot of things are relative to the best option just bad

limber lion
#

Everyone says Outlaw is good and Assa is bad, thus everyone believes it.

#

Outlaw does 2% more damage

#

"Assa is awful and does no damage"

vestal wren
#

the reality is, people lack the information and knowlage to know how far off a spec rly is

wary ice
#

imagine only doing 98% damage kekw

limber lion
#

There's other problems with the spec, but damage isn't necessarily it.

#

Yep

wary ice
#

I prefer outlaw cause the rotation is easier

limber lion
#

They just believe what they see and what they hear.

vestal wren
#

as there is a diffrence between a spec being 1-2% beind and 20-50% behind

wary ice
#

which frees up mental ram for doing other things i need to do

vestal wren
#

just speaking output wise

#

Outlaw has a lot on nice tools to its exposal but also some shortcommings

#

its still overall the better pick

#

one thing that could make assassination better could be scaling

#

i have not looked at it at all but if you make the assumption that the gap between sin and outlaw widens with additional stats (because haste double dips on assassination for example). Its possible that assassination will get high enough ahead to make it the better choice even with deficits

#

kind of like subtlety was the "best pick" on beta even tho it probably wasn't (it kinda was before they nerfed it because of an op legendary)

gusty mirage
#

@balmy condor fuu’s using the forbidden S word and I’m scared peepochrist

wary ice
#

hes not wrong though assa has a lot more resources tied into stats than outlaw does

gusty mirage
#

IM STILL SCARED

vestal wren
#

I know i use scaling as a vector even tho i and others usually tell people to not give it to much value

wary ice
#

IDK the actual effects of stuff though but i know my monkey brain will be excited ot not have to fok 4 times to get to 5cp

balmy condor
#

imagine thinking sin scales harder than outlaw

vestal wren
#

its also just a example/thought experiment

limber lion
#

Sub was the best pick because they had 12587 bugs and/or op legendaries/conduits/etc benefitting them

vestal wren
#

so the assumption is wildly picked and is not something thats nessecerly true

balmy condor
#

historically, and even through shadowlands

#

sin has scaled the worst out of all the rogue specs

#

so yes there's interactions

gusty mirage
#

Hell yeah 2ez sin in keys is back baby

balmy condor
#

but cmon

#

cmon.

vestal wren
#

i have no idea how well any of the 3 specs scales

balmy condor
#

sub > outlaw > sin in terms of that

#

but yeh

#

hypothetically, you're correct

vestal wren
#

its just a assumption i made to explain the point that the gap between 2 specs could be wide enough to make one better even if the other one offers better tools

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean so can CTO being a 7% conduit

vestal wren
#

yes

balmy condor
#

there's any number of reasons why that might be

vestal wren
#

exactly, you can just exchange it with any other thing that can scale and make it the baseline of the argument

#

i think sub did scale rly poorly when i remember the graph from babs legion chart correctly

#

i can search it if its interessting

#

there it is

#

sin > sub >= outlaw i would say from the table

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

from that table

#

sure

vestal wren
#

its from legion, so its rly outdated

#

some of the things from the table could still apply

silent stratus
#

I read that dslice isnt reliable for assa rogue

#

is it true? if yes, why?

vestal wren
#

to be clear we talk very hypothetical here, so this is not the "how it is" but "what could be"

#

dungeon slice is good

#

it is the only fight style that allowes multiple restealths, resets, per target effects and has dynamic group sizes

#

its a very good estimate

forest nacelle
#

Hypothetically, sub mid pack?

silent stratus
#

yep I know it's very good estimate and I know how it works, that's why I was confused

#

prob it was just a random rumor

vestal wren
forest nacelle
#

ok

silent stratus
balmy condor
vestal wren
forest nacelle
#

sorry, just been a die hard fan of sub since the begining of BFA into SL so xD

vestal wren
#

Given that we get higher itemlevel with 9.1 its possible that the stat dr becomes relevant

#

if that happens it could mean that we spread out our stats over multiple stats

#

if that's the case (big if) specs that have one or thwo stats that don't work well for them would be in a dissadvantage

#

mastery happens to be not very good on outlaw, so it could end up suffering from that

#

again, this is a lot of assumptions, nothing to take as face value

forest nacelle
#

kinda like if you stretch pasta to much? it just breaks?

limber lion
#

What makes a spec suddenly good are buffs to their kit or some sort of overloaded borrowed power.

rose ermine
#

What talent build do you guys go with during raids?

limber lion
#

A spec that is trash won't suddenly become good because we get 30 ilvls more.

limber lion
vestal wren
#

the first question would be how much secoundary stats we will get, as the stat dr is only relevant if we begin to hit higher dr steps

shy dust
#

That’s not what Fuu is saying

limber lion
#

EP/MA/Vig/Alac/PB or BS/MA/DS/Alac/PB, but you should sim them
@rose ermine

vestal wren
#

veverion, i don't talk about sudden changes, but more about passive changes

#

i think we made sure that people know that the main reason assassination is good now is not any scaling but straight out buffs to the spec

stoic needle
vestal wren
#

why, whats wrong with it oshosi

balmy condor
#

he's saying that it is reliable

vestal wren
#

oh

#

nvm

stoic needle
limber lion
#

I think there's too much emphasis on the importance of stats. When your "best stat" is weighted at 1.7 and worst is 1.3, I don't think saying that the worst stat is awful or bad.

#

They're still very very close.

vestal wren
#

thats true

limber lion
#

Maybe looking at Fire Mage in BFA where their mastery was at 40 and crit was 2.3

#

I think that's a massive gap and that's where things like that start to matter.

silent stratus
#

in the IV guide, it says that "The fully inclusive rotation is a lot more extensive than the one listed above, but gives only marginal gains at best" - what's additional details of the APL that changes from the rotation that IV explained?

limber lion
#

But again, that's only because of borrowed power.

#

That's not because the spec values mastery more as a baseline.

balmy condor
vestal wren
#

i think seli does just say that you shouldn't be worried about min/maxing to much because the gains are not super high

limber lion
#

And so do we.

balmy condor
#

guides are all meant to give a solid understanding of the spec

limber lion
#

Whispyr and I say the exact same thing

#

whenever someone comes in here

#

And asks "how much haste is needed to play assa"

#

or "how much crit do i need to get better parses"

vestal wren
#

you tell him to sim it 😛

lean rover
#

"doesnt matter just press the godamn buttons !"

vestal wren
#

there isn't any particular good/bad stat distribution because they are very close

patent topaz

my crit is way too low I think, I need 6.14% to be viable

vestal wren

atually

patent topaz

didnt read the posts

vestal wren

i am curios how many people drop pvping in 9.1

shy dust

It will still be relevant

vestal wren

now that the rewards are lower

Mythic level weapons

For hitting elite

Is still nice

it is fun still

vestal wren

is it still mythic itemlevel?

Nope

sick scarab

gray fjord
#

Did you see the datamined scaling thing?

vestal wren
#

i thought they scaled it down to be only mythic itemlevel in pvp

gray fjord
#

^

shy dust
#

Was there more recent news

sick scarab
#

they are going correct direction.. you are pvper you gain pvp related items..

shy dust
#

Than the blue post

gray fjord
#

Like yesterday I think Wowhead has a bunch of datamined stuff

shy dust
#

By blizzard about it

forest nacelle
#

indeed i am

sick scarab
#

cant be higher thatn pve counterpart

shy dust
#

Which stated that duelist gear would be 220 this tier

sick scarab
#

for pve

shy dust
#

Was there more recent news than that

#

Because every rank basically just lost 6 ilvl

vestal wren
#

Zeratüle, did you paly ptr a lot? how much much content is there to do?

stoic needle
#

That's enough for me to not bother and just wait for the vault

undone eagle
#

Does anyone know why (threat plates addon) my Transparency settings get resetted when i pull packs on m+? Before pulling the plates works just as fine but as soon as i start bleeding them etc everything gets reset with my plates

gray fjord
# vestal wren Zeratüle, did you paly ptr a lot? how much much content is there to do?

Yeah I've been binging on the PTR these last couple days. Korthia is mostly opened up (lots of grindy dailies and some are broken.) Most of the introductory quest is unlocked, I need to bring over another character that has 40 renown to see if you can start earning renown for the new campaign stuff. My necro is only at 34 so I can't confirm if you can earn renown yet.

#

No more eye of the jailer and you can mount in the maw within the first like 2 hours of starting Korthia quest chain is a plus.

stoic needle
#

Oh boy, grindy dailies

thorny pond
#

Moreso than now?

shy dust
#

“If this arrangement had been in place during Shadowlands Season 1, Duelist gear would have had a baseline item level of 220 and would have scaled up to item level 233 in Season 1 PvP.”

vestal wren
#

how big is the new zone?

shy dust
#

From the blue post

#

That sounds like as of now

#

You can still get a M weapon from PvP

gray fjord
#

For PvP content yes, it's still equal to a mythic raid weapon.

shy dust
#

No

vestal wren
#

it sounds like 220 in m+/pve and 233 in pvp

sick scarab
#

for pvp

shy dust
#

For pve

#

Elite gear is 233

#

That would be 226

silent stratus
#

what would be the minimum ilvl for the normal new raid then?

drifting cloud
#

227 even 👀

shy dust
#

👀

vestal wren
#

normal is 226

#

iirc

shy dust
#

I’m not sure what’s causing so much confusion

#

If duelist is 220

sick scarab
#

pvp gear should be lower in pve content and higher in pvp. easy and simple

shy dust
#

Then elite would still give M ilvl weapons

vestal wren
#

i hope

sick scarab
#

if blizz will do that they are going right direction

stoic needle
#

They get -6 ilvls, and they gain 13 ilvls in pvp

gray fjord
#

Yes, but elite would be 227, and mythic sire is 233

stoic needle
#

So it's a 19 ilvl gap from the equivalent in pve

shy dust
#

I never said a sire weapon

gray fjord
#

So it'd be in between regular mythic weapon and end tier

shy dust
#

You’d get a M ilvl weapon

#

Which is massive for prog

vestal wren
#

the table explains it quite well

stoic needle
#

It's mid mythic not endboss mythic ilvl

shy dust
#

Mythic level weapons unless that’s changed will still be very strong for next tier

#

On top of being able to fill out gear

drifting cloud
#

poor trill

balmy condor
#

"oh no only 226 weapons"

drifting cloud
#

gonna have to carry half the guild to 2.4 now

#

not only 2.1

vestal wren
#

they could even lower the base itelevel

shy dust
#

No

vestal wren
#

so that you have lower incentive to pvp

stoic needle
#

I hope they raise the ilvl you can upgrade gear to with valor

vestal wren
#

if you mainly do pve

shy dust
#

You should have an incentive

stoic needle
#

Proportionally

shy dust
#

To do all the content

#

And gain advantages from it

drifting cloud
#

the incentive is low enough now unless youre a class that really likes vers

vestal wren
#

i disagree because pvp is fairly diffrent from pve

drifting cloud
#

if you want it lower youre just crying for no reason

patent topaz
#

it was because of the acquisition that pvp gear was good not because of ilevel

#

this tier

stoic needle
#

If mythic+ can get you the same ilvl of gear as pvp then I'd be fine with it

vestal wren
#

m+/raids are both similar in execution

stoic needle
#

The ilvl was definitely a factor too

vestal wren
#

pvp is reactional gameplay and is only somewhat linked to pve combat

patent topaz
#

individually id say raids are the easiest

shy dust
#

I mean m+ valor would need to be nerfed even more

drifting cloud
#

hello theres valor in the game

vestal wren
#

wdym

shy dust
#

If it it was meant to be equal to conquest gear

#

Arena gear is like 75% Vers

#

The trinkets are not particularly good from arena

#

Outside of for certain specs

#

M+ has a lot of Very desirable gear

#

And much better stat distribution for specs

vital haven
#

now they just need to give m+ access to mythic level gear and we good

drifting cloud
#

the vault?

vestal wren
#

i think the idea is to give m+ and pvp heroic-ish itemlevel rewards

#

so that the raid content is the highest pve content for gear aquisition

#

it makes sense because the main content of the game is the raid

stoic needle
#

I think it would be nice if the vault had reroll tokens you could get by running more than 10 keys or bought with anima or something

ionic kelp
#

yup, m+ will most likely never give gear the same ilvl as killing mythic bosses

stoic needle
#

Just to give you more control over it than pure rng

#

So you don't get literally the same items over and over and pick stygia every week

ionic kelp
#

specifically the last two, as you can get 226 from vault

shy dust
#

It’s rng

#

And it’s massively better

#

Than previous system

vestal wren
#

it seems that we might get the reroll token introduced again, at least from the datamining

stoic needle
#

Just because it's slightly better than the previous system doesn't mean it isn't still dogshit

gray fjord
shy dust
#

It’s not slightly better

shy dust
#

SL vault

#

Is thousand times better

#

Than BFA

vital haven
#

100%

stoic needle
#

If pvp gets to choose you should get some kind of rng protection for m+

#

It's still dogshit

ionic kelp
#

reroll tokens + vault is a good upgrade to the loot system

stoic needle
#

I don't care how much better it is than bfa

vestal wren
#

coins actually have some value in allowing players to help with gear aquisition

shy dust
#

No it’s not

#

You get multiple raid or m+ options

#

Especially raid

#

Which generally has very strong gear

stoic needle
#

You cannot tell me getting the same items over and over from the vault is a good system

#

You literally can't

shy dust
#

My guy have you played wow?

stoic needle
#

I haven't gotten a single mythic vault the entire expansion

shy dust
#

That’s on you

stoic needle
#

When pvp gets to choose

shy dust
#

That has nothing to do with the system

vestal wren
#

The vault system is nice

stoic needle
#

M+ should get some small bit of control too

drifting cloud
#

you are literal proof that wow players will always complain

vestal wren
#

i wish i could decide between 3 keys too 😛

drifting cloud
#

even if they make it better you will still find something wrong with it

vital haven
#

you wanting deterministic system in pve doesnt mean the vault is bad @stoic needle

ionic kelp
#

the only complaint i have with the vault system is the possible stacking of similar gear slots

gray fjord
#

You have no idea how many times my whole group ends up with the same key in a week from the vault XD

dull cloak
drifting cloud
#

Im 10/10m

#

and I have 7 items from vault

#

equipped

#

thats pretty fucking good

stoic needle
#

Congratulations

#

Not everyone else is 10/10m

shy dust
#

Yes and you only need to kill 3 M bosses

#

For another piece from raid

stoic needle
#

Good luck killing 3 m bosses when your guild is extending

shy dust
#

The vault is pretty great

#

So then previously

vestal wren
shy dust
#

You had raid loot?

stoic needle
#

No I didn't

dull cloak
#

im 9/10, i only got 2 piece of loot from raid and m+, everything else us vault and pvp

drifting cloud
#

actually its 8, 9 if you count valor phial

stoic needle
#

I joined after they started extending

drifting cloud
#

but hey clearly thats not good enough

shy dust
#

Again

#

That’s ok you

#

On*

#

That’s not the system

#

That’s you

vestal wren
#

i agree ember, there is no perfect system. But thats great because it should lead to improvement in the long term

gray fjord
stoic needle
#

What's wrong with wanting the system to be accommodating for players in all kinds of situations

vestal wren
#

also i think that complains are low if systems are quite good

stoic needle
#

What would be wrong with a reroll token

dull cloak
#

nothing

visual prairie
#

good luck with a reroll token if you're progressing

stoic needle
#

Not everyone can just waltz into a good guild and get stacked vault slots every week

vestal wren
#

e.g. if gearing would be great people would not rly complain about it but about sth else

dull cloak
#

not sure why they took it out this exp, its a thunker

shy dust
#

About not having BiS stats

thorny pond
#

If gear game too easy people would be bored and bitch. When it's too hard, people bitch. There has never been a system at the time people liked

vestal wren
#

i think they would actually complain about the balancing team

shy dust
#

If you join a guild that’s extending then complain about not having raid options I don’t even know what to tell you

drifting cloud
#

why cant I choose stats on my gear or get a reroll token for them

dull cloak
