Does just fine up until 21+s
Ryfie’s timed 20s and 21s as sin and is probably pushing 22s
^ that 20s are about where i would stop considering assa for a key
so far we havent really had much change for rogues in 9.1, is there anything you guys are hoping for?
Make sub a real spec again plz
agreed, i want to main sub again
sub was fun untill Assa pulled ahead
im enjoying assas more than i expected, but if i could go sub id swap right away
honestly dont care about the numbers
sub is straight not fun right now
granted bigger numbers are fun for sure
i miss DFA crits the most
I miss any sort of planning on the spec
yep
can honestly play it with 2-3 buttons
Assa changes: give subterfuge 2cp garrotes from stealth
and thats about it
Specs fine imo
ooo yeah that would be ideal
Outlaw is probably in its best form, minus target caps
I refuse to play pirate
A man of culture
Give me dagger specs bro Im a rouge
A MAN OF CULTURE
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
i really miss that prep-burst playstyle that we had before in legion
Is there anyone here who is necrolord? thinking of swapping to it, but wondering how it feels to play
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
yeah doors is just meh haha
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
Door outside of the aoe cc, i hate everything about it
Haven’t checked his rio in a while, so it’s very possible
and fleshcraft in plaguefall is just 
but u could say the same for venth pots in sd and stuff :p
Venthyr dongeon stuff are the most impactful imo
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 😄
will try it without first, but might have to get that 😄
when should I use memory of past sins? just on cd?
trying to learn opener but not sure when to incorporate the trinket
i did that too but mouseover makes it so u don't have to swap targets constantly, and can just pump dmg into 1 target (tho for assa swapping targets is bread and butter :P)
haha yeah if u dont like target swapping u shouldnt play assa :p
ye in outlaw it matters cause you wanna keep hitting the BTE target
Use memory prepull and then on cd
You can use it up to 20s before pull or so for full use
is there a preferred spot for the zoldyck? Legs or Feet?
Legs for more stats
but assa is better single target regardless so do u need to worry about target swapping?
thanks
On cd yeah
does ma affect any of the trinket possiblity to crit?
Nothing affects trinkets
really? thought with outlaw bte affects trinket ability to crit
i know different spec but jus asking
Yeah but we don’t recognize outlaw here
true true haha
Planned execution also works
wow thats lame we have nothing to help trinket crit
For sub
thats bull
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
with extra vers/haste/crit
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
When ur away from boss to not cap energy
Infernal cascade does for fire mages tho?
tbh I'd take the 4 dps loss so I don't accidently get killed by skulkers personally
Does this look like a mage discord
WE ARE NOT FIREY BOIS
K
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?
I'm a mage 🔥
So nothing affects trinkets for rogues
like I have to worry about switching back and forth to be applying garrot and rupture? sounds so intense lol
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
wait what? using iqd during BL extends duration?
To every answer I give
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
oooooo i get what u mean
that is why iqd+dreadfire is kind of neat
put it in the message below your name 
26%crit and 24% haste or 29% crit and 22% haste?
not a huge change
ok so hit around 27.55
But 27.555 bestest
just pick what gives you more agi
thanks all 🙂
and sim the thing you want to do

been simc all day .. it gives me so menny diff outcomes 🙂
tbh just take whatever top gear sim says u should use
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”


Is whispyr a broken man?
we've broken him
Customer service tend to do that to people
I work customer service irl as well

I fucking hate humans
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

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
Make sure it's garrote rupture AND deadly poison
and one guy at the phone was like
Hey saaaame
bro stop working for that company cuz its a sinking ship
i was like yea i cant say ur wrong
If you lose the poison you lose the energy regen
It does make sense that Sonics speed is tied to his agility.
and it ALWAYS starts with "I'm not going to tell you how to do your job" 
Buuuuut
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


You work in restaurant?
I work at a bowling alley
I had someone throw an extra hot latte at me when I worked at starbucks because they had to wait 3 minutes for it

if I ever find that human being in public, I'm going to prison
Anyways
Sin rogue is a lot like customer service
Because we do no damage and the mage yells at us
LOL
Am i rite
Boumy are worst imo
Boomies just don't know how pull timers work
guys do you know what is fastest or best way to level up new covenant specific conduit?
Kill the boss who drops it
kill sire
Yeah
and the world boss
Kill sire
Fire are worst, they push combu button 15sec later, dude why are you so low on details ...
yeah then run sire on LFR, normal, and heroic
Callings give 200 ilvl
^ that too
That’s good enough
can callings drop covenant specific one? o.0
yea
its a random conduit
@lean rover meh if they brg detail i brg the last time they died with block up and 3cheath dead <.<
hoping for that sudden fractures from dena 😄
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

what item level are you able to get through a torghast layer 8?
150
normal layer 8 for soul ash
Yeh
you could do it at any ilvl
You can do it at any ilvl
it'll just be harder the worse your gear is
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
Ye I just changed to necro, so it is 145 ilvl xD
I got anima from my Sire. No items, no conduits, no pet. :'(
ppl actually kill stuff as rogue in regular l8 
To be fair, with like 120 ilvl you probs have to xd
@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?
Can't probably slam the floor mini-bosses
Yes sir, exactly.
how about if theres three lol?
who is 120 without trying to be bad 
It's the same thing.
its very very overwhelming starting out i must say
After 3 it gets a bit hectic and you might change it up a bit.
As you cannot get 4 garrotes up
@balmy condor lol whispyr you dont have to answer if youre feeling overwhelmed
And technically CT as well
No worries mate
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
Zine puts me back in my cage every night
I was gonna say. I heard green names are required ti be here and answer questions
no lol

wait, really?
rogue defo isn't the easiest class to pick up so keep going at it man! 😄
Imagine

tbf, in BfA I was just lurking and checking pins for stuff
didn't had to ask questions
I knew it
where was Zine hiding you in bfa?
Secret lab
I should remove the light blue name
he is always one of us
it's time

true sin
go back to my original color, red
what's the other red for actually
jesus christ its so difficult trying to keep switching to all targets while im focusing on even trying to use vendetta to stay on that 1 target majority of times
Patreon
ew why am I yellow
maybe il just try to master 1 target and so on
that's why we use nameplates
😉
Outlaw overrides sin
Blasphemy
as usual
😡
get away pirate

I've been mutilating since you were a wee lad sir
I got nameplates but still lol i dont even have down the rotation for 1 target yet
ngl, I would keep outlaw role for the color

Start with 1
yeah but you are yellow nonetheless
1 is quite easy
i take that back
So hear me out Whispyr
That's the beauty of sin. Starting slow in ST and ramping up in AoE
I'm finally home 
What if with the MA talent
No
You apply max bleeds
Even though Mystler disagrees
it's practice and knowing the mechanics behind assa, 1 target basically keeping your bleeds up (rup / gar) and poison on the target, if that's done you can use shiv on cd and spend cp on envenom
welcome back
sin is like diesel engines
stahp
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?
large gain large gain
Do you have a rope and a ceiling fan
how many marijuanas have you had today sir?
Rae I’ll go Liam neason on you
Pretty much yeah, assuming you play DS
I will find you.
With Vig it's 4/5 CP
yea i use DS
Yeh gucci
that ST opener looks solid tbh

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?
Worrying about openers 
@shy dust DOOOD
lmaoooo
Just dot cd one dot other
Just put bleeda up on both
remember when you said about IQD crit proc?
And you're gucci
Yes I do
on huntsman its worth it to get your bleeds up asap
I got one last night
I speak highly of Iqd

dont delay coolies tho
I cant wait til i got this down cant keep looking like an idiot in here
I've converted
got a 226 on tuesday and this thing fucks
I played IQD on Sire and got r1, so IQD has to be the best trinket
aight back to dummies i go
Works very well
every fight I try to find ways to equip IQD
nah you're fine, it'll just come with muscle memory
dont worry abot that we all been there when we were new 😄
No doubt in my mind.
oh no
do some dummy do some lfr do some dungeons and practice 😄
like being over 10k dps for more than 20 sec feels so good
Oxi left blue:^(
I did
Good
I spent my life as a red boi and I was lost but now I'm found
lmao
One. Of. Us.
i started with sub fotm 
lol how

assa is free af in torghast
lol
even before its buffs lol
first weeks torghast was LEGIT hard
stop pretending
9.0 Torghast was pretty bad
ye lmfao
Man maybe
leeching poison was shit
i had to run with a prot pala to get it done
I dont remember ever having issues with roghast ngl
I remember layer 8 getting sketchy at times
I've soloed it since it came out
but besides that it was fine
soothing darkness saved me 
I legit couldn't kill the last boss at times
Torghast wasn’t even too hard back then
yeah, on 3rd week I started playing assa in Torghast
Even though I geared for boss onöy
We just had very shit gear
i remember layer 3 one of the first weeks felt like layer 18 in tc or some shit
I had like 150-160 ilvl
and died with boss at 4% hp
The boss which had 8 shields was imba

Once the shields were down, he would one tap you
Yeh
ye
Some were ez
you'd get to floor 3 and check if it was the easy guy and just reset
Some were literally imba
I can just use fan of knives to quickly get poisons on others around sigh why did I not even realize that
We didn't even have those boss holograms in the beginning
Calm down boomer
Was very hard to die as sub

Especially with any of the % hp powers
that's what I did, I still had food on my bars from Legion and I still killed torghast bosses on first try 
the things next to the vendor?
Yap
Yeah I mean like
loooooool never realized what that was for
Any hp gain
lmfao
yeah those weren't added for a few weeks iirc

yep
i abused that sub talent hard
i just remember all the people saying rogue is impossible on torghast during the first month of SL
We just had to out tank everything
They def put way too many "and now vanish does this" abilties into the anima power pool
Ye
Instead of take 2 traits and skip everything
Yeah we didn’t have dps powers that were strong
Uhhh no
First step was nuts but impossible to get
we had unceasing chain still
Boss doing 80% of my health with one hit was brutal
Wasnt impossible. Wasnt tank stupid easy though and Vanish based talents just reset so they were troll
ye dps power were actual troll
The scaling thing was shit
We hadn't scaled enough with gear yet 
Yah mean the power that disappeared as you moved up floors

It was extremely common
unceasing is the shit tho
50k mutis and 100k garrote dam
And get to boss with only 1 stack left
Yup
so it would consume a charge?
Honestly back when kyrian was the shit
I was never kyrian
big oofs
nf from start
The sepsis power was actually nuts
Inb4 the unwashed masses all start using iqd
The explosive sepsis power
the best build was a fuck ton of unceasing chains + the finishing on 7 resets ER
3x unceasing and the sbs damage one from max range is the shit
300k sbs on the boss yday
With mastery as their highest stat as well 
Brainwash them all
That was insane
easy cd reset
Spread to 3 mobs around your main target
They each gave stacks of groove invigoration
Could easily get 40 stacks
Yep
oh i didnt even notice thr invig stacks
the necro ones are way stronger imo
The haste one is nutty
But the bosses die too quick
So yoy don't get much use out of it
yeah, but rn I just stealth to last boss, do some objective and kill last boss
Yup
unless I'm boosting an alt or playing with a friend
Around what renown do random heroics stop giving you renown?
I'm at 20 and they're still giving it
it's probably random
Lol I should try that
I've been playing the NS MfD MA build
Which feels weird as shit as necrolord
I always try different stuff in low content
on my hunter tried to play survival and I have no clue what buttons to press 
I think a good start is to not let energy bar cap
he said survival tho

well, I did beat an outlaw rogue
on one pull
4.8k dps 
he probably had to open door for food delivery, but that doesn't count
I did 12k dps on tred'ova last night kekw
Ppl in my groups are like "thanks for the carry"

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
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
tricks another player
Heroic mobs aren't that hard
and you are safe
Anyone have any tips to optimally using crimson tempest based on number of targets?
anything under 8 just try to keep it up
if you got more than 8, CT until you get it on all I guess
Awesome thanks. Im just looking on top parses for mythic stone legion and they seem to cast it a lot...
Guys do you have an addon for targets when you bleed around?
good set of nameplates
that your main target is a bit thicker plate or the other mobs gets a bit fade
every nameplate addon has that setting
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
I use plater
But experienced from threat plate?
really its bad?
no clue
it's not bad
I thought the addon got discontinued
But how do you set it up when you wanna focus targets?
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
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
I think Seliathan used Thread Plates, not sure if he is still using them
you could take his profile and compare
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
i use plater, and just get a profile off wago. works well
@stoic needle has a link
I can send my profile as well
- Other Design : What I am using now https://wago.io/sF0zdaamt * My Recommended Script and Health Bar Size Settings(Yo
nice cause you can hover over debuffs/buffs and it'll show tooltip
the thing I hate about Plater is that I get so picky and I waste too much time setting up how nameplates look 
so after wasting 1hour I just delete it and use basic elvui
i mean sorting debbufs like time to finish in order
is it any option to do that ?
!guide
will be much easier to track
if I was to track it like that, I would prefer them by % duration
instead of time left
for tracking pandemic
but I cba 
using plater and elvui is insane
just pick one :^(
I personally use kui cause of what you were talkinga bout though
the defaults are solidly good enough
I usually go back to default every 1-2 months
then back to elvui
not very consistent on my UI
I left elvui soley becasue i disliked maintaining it manually :/
I dislike default elvui, it's so bad and fonts are terrible
@balmy condor do you have a script for plater that changes the bar colors when you have for example garrote up on them?
i tried to look on wago but haven't found anything
no, my plater just highlights bleeds in pandemic
and that's basically it
why change the bar color when you have a big square that shows it?
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
If you do it like that
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
You're going to need literally uhhhhh like 9~ ish different colors for all the permutations of bleed/poison uptimes
i would make it only for 1 dot though
Mine doesn't order by duration
and, if you have a lot of nameplates, between ct, garrote and rupture is pretty confusing. But ui is a matter of preference
But it filters out a lot of the clutter debuffs that are tracked my default
@stoic needle i actually tried yours yesterday and it spammed my chat with errors xD
I track garrote and rupture with base WA when target swapping, and use nameplates to track remaining duration
Uh, you sure your plater is up to date, because it doesn't do that for mine
yes it is
What were the errors
but, i was curious about the purple bars
like
those are for targets with rupture on?
Purple means it's a dangerous enemy, or that it has an expiring dot
Something that has a cast that needs to be kicked
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
I'm probably getting rid of the colors for types of enemies because you should know those by now
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
There is one included by default with plater you just have to enable it
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
It should be part of the one I linked earlier
It might also be under the modding section I don't remember
fair enough
looks great but i got a lot of error messages in chat window
for future reference u can paste your Shift-win-s snips directly to discord
Do you guys think the new soulbinds will affect which covenant is bis?
I mean yes.
typically that's how that works, yeah
new shit changes balance
and soulbinds are part of cov balance
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
@balmy condor my lad, are you still in the self harm procedure of doing log reviews?
I do them every now and then
Out of curiosity, how proficient is everyone in m+ as sin
idk what that question is supposed to mean
Raider.IO is a World of Warcraft (WoW) Mythic+ and Raid Progression rankings site! You can view your Character & Guild Profiles, check your Mythic+ scores & Raid Progress, follow the Race to World First, and much more.
you can see sin rogue's here
Ryfie 
assassination is underrated for m+
agree
ofc outlaw has a slight edge, but it does not make assassination terrible
a lot of things are relative to the best option just bad
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"
the reality is, people lack the information and knowlage to know how far off a spec rly is
imagine only doing 98% damage 
I prefer outlaw cause the rotation is easier
They just believe what they see and what they hear.
as there is a diffrence between a spec being 1-2% beind and 20-50% behind
which frees up mental ram for doing other things i need to do
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)
@balmy condor fuu’s using the forbidden S word and I’m scared 
hes not wrong though assa has a lot more resources tied into stats than outlaw does
IM STILL SCARED
I know i use scaling as a vector even tho i and others usually tell people to not give it to much value
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
its also just a example/thought experiment
Sub was the best pick because they had 12587 bugs and/or op legendaries/conduits/etc benefitting them
say it’s true fuu
so the assumption is wildly picked and is not something thats nessecerly true
historically, and even through shadowlands
sin has scaled the worst out of all the rogue specs
so yes there's interactions
Hell yeah
sin in keys is back baby
i have no idea how well any of the 3 specs scales
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
yeah I mean so can CTO being a 7% conduit
yes
there's any number of reasons why that might be
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
its from legion, so its rly outdated
some of the things from the table could still apply
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
Hypothetically, sub mid pack?
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
moment, letme explain
ok
is this SL?
no, its legion so very outdated
sorry, just been a die hard fan of sub since the begining of BFA into SL so xD
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
kinda like if you stretch pasta to much? it just breaks?
What makes a spec suddenly good are buffs to their kit or some sort of overloaded borrowed power.
What talent build do you guys go with during raids?
A spec that is trash won't suddenly become good because we get 30 ilvls more.
Depends on the fight honestly.
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
That’s not what Fuu is saying
EP/MA/Vig/Alac/PB or BS/MA/DS/Alac/PB, but you should sim them
@rose ermine
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
It's not true
why, whats wrong with it oshosi
You have to go into the power bar text mod and set a font
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.
thats true
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.
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?
But again, that's only because of borrowed power.
That's not because the spec values mastery more as a baseline.
all sorts of very minor timing things and specific situations like mfd sniping for example, or holding shiv for vendetta, etc etc
i think seli does just say that you shouldn't be worried about min/maxing to much because the gains are not super high
And so do we.
guides are all meant to give a solid understanding of the spec
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"
you tell him to sim it 😛
"doesnt matter just press the godamn buttons !"
there isn't any particular good/bad stat distribution because they are very close
my crit is way too low I think, I need 6.14% to be viable
yes I understand that, but in case someone is interested in min/maxing, should I read and understand the APL or there is somewhere where I can easily read all the additional details?
More haste than crit
as low as possible, so you can have more of all the other stats and then high roll into 80% envenom crit with only 10% crit on character
Yikes brother

Any 34% mastery gamers? 

no iqds here brother
i have like 25% vers on mah sub xD
and i don't pvp much
Unfortunate

i think mystler has most/all apl improvements in the wowhead guide.
But you can actually read it, we have everything thats not obviouse commented so it should be a easy read usually
No PvP there either it seems
nope, only went to 1900
thanks
Imagine pvping

should do more next season but by the looks of it pvp gear is going to be lower ilevel
atually
didnt read the posts
i am curios how many people drop pvping in 9.1
It will still be relevant
now that the rewards are lower
it is fun still
They're heroic outside of PvP
haste/crit on doomblade?
at least assa in 2s is atm
No it's not
kek
well pvp
is it still mythic itemlevel?
But they’re not
Nope
should give pvp items
Did you see the datamined scaling thing?
i thought they scaled it down to be only mythic itemlevel in pvp
^
Was there more recent news
they are going correct direction.. you are pvper you gain pvp related items..
Than the blue post
Like yesterday I think Wowhead has a bunch of datamined stuff
By blizzard about it
indeed i am
cant be higher thatn pve counterpart
Which stated that duelist gear would be 220 this tier
for pve
Zeratüle, did you paly ptr a lot? how much much content is there to do?
That's enough for me to not bother and just wait for the vault
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
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.
Oh boy, grindy dailies
Moreso than now?
“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.”
how big is the new zone?
From the blue post
That sounds like as of now
You can still get a M weapon from PvP

For PvP content yes, it's still equal to a mythic raid weapon.
No
it sounds like 220 in m+/pve and 233 in pvp
for pvp
what would be the minimum ilvl for the normal new raid then?
227 even 👀
👀
pvp gear should be lower in pve content and higher in pvp. easy and simple
Then elite would still give M ilvl weapons
thats exactly what they do
i hope
if blizz will do that they are going right direction
Yes, but elite would be 227, and mythic sire is 233
So it's a 19 ilvl gap from the equivalent in pve
I never said a sire weapon
So it'd be in between regular mythic weapon and end tier
the table explains it quite well
It's mid mythic not endboss mythic ilvl
Mythic level weapons unless that’s changed will still be very strong for next tier
On top of being able to fill out gear
poor trill
they could even lower the base itelevel
so that you have lower incentive to pvp
I hope they raise the ilvl you can upgrade gear to with valor
if you mainly do pve
You should have an incentive
Proportionally
the incentive is low enough now unless youre a class that really likes vers
i disagree because pvp is fairly diffrent from pve
if you want it lower youre just crying for no reason
it was because of the acquisition that pvp gear was good not because of ilevel
this tier
If mythic+ can get you the same ilvl of gear as pvp then I'd be fine with it
m+/raids are both similar in execution
The ilvl was definitely a factor too
pvp is reactional gameplay and is only somewhat linked to pve combat
individually id say raids are the easiest
I mean m+ valor would need to be nerfed even more
hello theres valor in the game
wdym
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
now they just need to give m+ access to mythic level gear and we good
the vault?
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
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
yup, m+ will most likely never give gear the same ilvl as killing mythic bosses
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
That’s the point of it
specifically the last two, as you can get 226 from vault
it seems that we might get the reroll token introduced again, at least from the datamining
Just because it's slightly better than the previous system doesn't mean it isn't still dogshit
Yep, saw those global strings as well.
It’s not slightly better
Better =/= Good
100%
If pvp gets to choose you should get some kind of rng protection for m+
It's still dogshit
reroll tokens + vault is a good upgrade to the loot system
I don't care how much better it is than bfa
coins actually have some value in allowing players to help with gear aquisition
No it’s not
You get multiple raid or m+ options
Especially raid
Which generally has very strong gear
You cannot tell me getting the same items over and over from the vault is a good system
You literally can't
My guy have you played wow?
I haven't gotten a single mythic vault the entire expansion
That’s on you
When pvp gets to choose
That has nothing to do with the system
The vault system is nice
M+ should get some small bit of control too
you are literal proof that wow players will always complain
i wish i could decide between 3 keys too 😛
even if they make it better you will still find something wrong with it
you wanting deterministic system in pve doesnt mean the vault is bad @stoic needle
the only complaint i have with the vault system is the possible stacking of similar gear slots
That would be fantastic, actually
You have no idea how many times my whole group ends up with the same key in a week from the vault XD
there is always something that needs to be improved
Good luck killing 3 m bosses when your guild is extending
i saw a lot of memes with guilds seemingly getting the same key on all players
You had raid loot?
No I didn't
im 9/10, i only got 2 piece of loot from raid and m+, everything else us vault and pvp
actually its 8, 9 if you count valor phial
I joined after they started extending
but hey clearly thats not good enough
i agree ember, there is no perfect system. But thats great because it should lead to improvement in the long term
It's honestly no joke, 9 times out of 10, 3 or 4 of us will get the same key every week, it's unreal. xD
What's wrong with wanting the system to be accommodating for players in all kinds of situations
also i think that complains are low if systems are quite good
What would be wrong with a reroll token
nothing
good luck with a reroll token if you're progressing
Not everyone can just waltz into a good guild and get stacked vault slots every week
e.g. if gearing would be great people would not rly complain about it but about sth else
not sure why they took it out this exp, its a thunker
People will then complain
About not having BiS stats
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
i think they would actually complain about the balancing team
If you join a guild that’s extending then complain about not having raid options I don’t even know what to tell you
why cant I choose stats on my gear or get a reroll token for them
actually there will be people complaining loot is too ez
