and how its seemingly afk
We extended for multiple weeks and I knew that meant no raid vault despite still needing loot from bosses
Only refresh
It’s what happens it’s a guild meant to kill bosses not get you loot
I do 10 keys every week and still get nothing
That's why a reroll token would be nice
Who gives a shit?
valor points do fix some m+ issues
I was doing 10 keys every week even before I had ksm
you missed 3+ months of m15 vault?
i would actually prefere to have the pvp system for m+
I had 3+ months of m14 vault which is exactly the same ilvl
So you just had 3 months
possibly even for raiding, it seems to be the best in terms of giving he player control over loot
Of shit vaults?
no hes just lying
Despite ilvl being king
he was doing 12s and shit
You had multiple vaults where yeah no upgrade whatsoever
they can improve vault right now by rewarding additional currency to purchase a 226 item of choice after like 1 month
Quit being an elitist shithead
nothing elitist about it you idiot
I'm not talking about back then, I'm talking about now
you literally didnt have capped ilvl rewards from vault
Yes I did
So now that most people
and you complain about the system
i'm bored
Are decked in close to 226
of this convo
The system is bad
You mentioning my ksm timing like its even close to relevant
3 choices per week gvies you a high chance of getting at least something over multiple weeks
how is it not relevant that you didnt do 14s for vault for 3months
but valor rly helps you get the items you need
Literally all I said was that I was tired of getting the same items over and over
???????????
in any possible scenario where theres 2 or more bosses i should be using fan knives to build combo points?
adds
not bosses
enemies i meant
You fok on 4+
vault is 226, valor can be upgraded to 220
call me mad but i think VAULT should not exist lol i hate RNG free stuff
is the 6 melee limit on sludge like a ahard cap
You're being elitist because you're pretending like it matters how long I was doing keys of a certain level when my complaint is only that it's annoying to get the same items over and over
i would say valor is the main progression system and the vault is for replacing your 220 with 226 if you get lucky
or at least vault should give item level of the m+ you did not more
No
You can kill it with more
i wish vault had a pity system at least
Especially post nerf
if u see me take stygia for a month then throw in a dagger pls
but stigia does give you jucy sockets
or do you use fan of knives just until they get the poisons then go back to mutilate
On 3 targets ideally youd tab mutilate to apply poisons
got aotc and ksm and im still rocking 213 conq daggers :/
Just spam dungeons
Spam dungeon get daggers
get dungeons spam daggers
spam rbgs and get daggers
The way my group does them is fail timers feel bad
shhh i want to sit bases and get 233 weapon every season
RBG with an actual group is trash "rogue go annoy the FC and healers to death since you aren't a real person"
It’s just insanely inflated
And easy to climb
Very often you will come across people who are 2100 in rbgs
Inflated like our egos, amirite?
is it ? i mean compare to 2s or 3s ?
i should give it a try, need to find 9 ppl to tag though
Don’t be scared of 2100 rbg players. Most of them are like 1600 3s and 2s
when do you think i should reroll necro? because i wna be rdy for 9.1
You wanna carry me then @shy dust ? My GM paid for a 2200 boost then told us to f ourselves
Actual Raw time spent will still be high
Be scared of like 2400
Since rbgs are much longer
Those are actually coordinated groups
I stopped doing arena after I hit 2.4 in 2s
never if you don't want to. I mean you don't HAVE to.
dude i just got 2100 early in the season in 2s then peaced for the rest of the season
Otherwise 9.1 is just starting on PTR, grinding à new cov is a 1 week things so
2s is much faster imo as a rogue
you got plenty of time
i know but i wna go with the meta and i dont want to be too early or too late
its honestly broken you only need to hit the rating once
trhen you get access to mythic level stuff
and you dont have to pvp at all
for the rest of the season
They are fixing that in 9.1 right
HAVENT queued a 2s game
Since like January 2nd

LOL
i think i did likek 2 more games months later
when i didnt need geasr anymore from pvp
Yeah you just hit required rating
Then no need to do anything besides yolo rbgs
For conquest/honor

oh okay so dont use fans tab to apply all poisons unless i apply vendetta on a target then i should stay on them the whole20 seconds
ur profil pic is poorly made rae
True
am i rerolling alliance
no
Staying on your vendetta'd target only matters on a boss, but in keys just keep swapping
okay
is it really pad tho
Not really.
EP/Vig wins in 2T as well, so even with Remornia up you would get more value from those in P2.
EP/Vig are better for p1 and p2 but in p3 they're obviously worse.
So depends on what your team needs.
If you're lacking in p3 damage then use BS/DS
I mean
Almost no teams will really need P2 damage
That just comes with learning the fight
If you’re missing P2 damage
Some teams still struggle killing the big adds.
You’re also going to be missing p3 damage
Like we still had some attempts where we didn't kill Gloom
So you’re just creating a future problem
having to go gloom as sin is such a dps loss
Yeh, I didn't though so I'm glad.
hehe
We had attempts though where Baron didn't die either
That was mostly because someone messed up their cooldowns or something though.
how do u still mess up cds 500 pulls in 
Ye idk
It's a super scripted fight as well
well cds can be fucked for 2min classes if u push p1 early so there is that
I was on gloomveil for all of progress and 1st rekill
same, i solo with 3 mages
Gloom is aids
my guild is putting a sin with pi on gloom otherwise it doesnt die in time
we are good gloom killers but sad if u wanna parse
does what now
dont split up the raid for adds after the first set of adds on drop don
and by adds i mean mini bosses
oh that ugly tac
thats a yikes from me
but good for rogues i guess always having 3 targets
big pump
!guide
idk i liked the strat for our prog
had my friends in hof and in top 10 us tell us that at the point when my guild go tot the boss that that strat was the best and it worked out p well p2 prog flew by cause didnt have to set up cds and shit
!trinket
Due to high performance on m sludge, I’ve been selected to receive PIs for two pillars 😄
We made it 😂
Good job :p
Nj
you can get a 10k parse
I believe
Any reason bloodmallet is showing Essence of Bloodfang as the best hectic add cleave leggo ?
Because it is
Thats a racist reasoning
What

i only sim 30s
30s 8t with lust sims pogggggersssss
i only sim ultraxion
is assassination any good in pvp rn? i kinda miss playing it, currently playing sub
oh well, good bye kazzak
oh maybe i should have played the AH for free gold
What you're leaving us?
No worries buddy
im going home to tarren mill
Cute
and going alliance

If I'm running Necrolords when do I use SBS on ST? On aoe I'm assuming just throw it out unless capping on CP?
Cringe
During gemstone
You use it during Gemstone proc, or if you play Emeni during Shiv windows.
Or kinda whenever you want. Just don't cap em
Thanks both
@frail fossil did you see the 259 shoulders that drop from the 2nd to last boss in 9.1 
I knew it all this time
zoldyck boots were bis all along

@ me
ceve can i have ur expert look on something
Let me put my expert goggles on
Just uninstall it man

Wtf
Ok
how do i do more dam
@limber lion https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/nLGy9Zk1PmHx3avQ#fight=33&type=damage-done&source=6
the 259 shoulders are crit/haste too
We now have the patch 9.1 PTR Encounter Journal, featuring boss abilities and loot for the Sanctum of Domination raid and Tazavesh, the Veiled Market megadungeon. While most of the loot is just placeholder, there are a few interesting items, such as a legendary-like bow from Sylvanas which replaces Kill Shot with Wailing Arrow!
i fucked my second vendetta i think
- Open with SBS, especially when playing SF.
Step 1 is don’t wait 12 seconds to get the sbs dot up

so i just mut snd sbs ?
Sbs snd mut
oh ok
do i recraft zoldyck to boots now 
Definitely not
Don't do the same mistake that I did.
but that 30 dps 
Bro
I'm pretty sure you still get more dps from 235 legs
Or
Whatever the new cap is
you know i'm 99% memeing right
Yeh but just incase that 1% isn't
yeah but there aren't any 259 boots
Oh no, the logic’s there
But it doesn't instantly mean
Craft the boots boys, it’s all ogre 
That you get more stats from using Leg boots and good pants, versus leg pants and aight boots
it's only belt, shoulders, chest, pants
don’t actually
i think i did a oopsie and forgot i had vanish 
well rip i have shoulders on doomblade and celerity
I’m going to proudly wear my Doomblade shoulders 
So many clowns
who joinin the squad
in my defence. guild extended for 2 months, no shoulders from slg. have a 226 crit haste glove
NUT
@frail fossil Yeh I mean the only thing is using Vanish, opening with SBS and preferably applying garrote before the boss rams into the pillar so you don't do it during the pillar
Because you used garrote on every pillar
just think of the m+ stonks
yeah even if i see it's not pandemic i'll refresh it
garotte in to pillar 
so i dont have to refresh before pillar
Yeh exactly
Which you didn't do on this one.
Wait
No
You want to refresh before pillar
Not during it
You only want to press Muti/Env/SBS during pillar
And coolies
at least they're putting crit/mastery gear in the raid now
No rupture, garrote, fok, pk or any of that other stuff
mastery 
@marble hemlock look at how much crit is on this ring
hidden blade into pillar is actually the play
Might be
i like these items with heavy weights into a stat instead of half/half
i also dislike legendarys
I do prefer the heavy into stat rings - like inerva and sire over the half/half rings
Now that’s a nut
i wish we could weight our legendaries like that
choose the balance of the secondaries
Next raid ilvls are 233/246/259 for the three difficulties?
for the end bosses
For the final two bosses. It’s 226/239/252 iirc
yeah
Gotcha
Every difficulty ramps 13 🙂
Where do you guys use your CD's on sludgefist? At the start or on first pillar? We will BL on 4th pillar
pull 2nd 4th
On pull/2/4
thx!
They're continuing the weapon token system for next raid?
Not from the looks of it, but anything and everything is subject to change.
Great system, still have 220 weapons, 1 warrior and 1 monke in my raid. Doesnt ever drop anyway
I mean except for the fact that rogue token dropped so deep into the raid, it only helped us right? Since normally only rogues can possibly loot daggers
If they just gave every boss a small chance at dropping a weapon token, I think that would be the ideal solution
yeah, mainly down to being so far into the tier
So far into the tier but always get benched when we get there

The idea of every boss dropping a token seems fair
adversary or second potency with nadija ?
Adversary
sadge
Yo guys, I'm struggling parsing with my assa rogue ... I'm analizing some logs and comparing with mines and I'm noticing some minor things I can improve. But I'm also noticing some major dps lose in comparison to others top parsers, and I can't figure out why (like my melee dps, or envenom dps).
Here are the logs I'm atalking about: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/tfFyKcDVXhrR69n7/YZzBWwMnHRt39XVc#fight=16,5&source=2,21&type=damage-done
I already asked some help here for similar reasons, but I'm still struggling.
seems weird to me that sin gets 1 dagger from the 4th boss, then one from sylvanas, and outlaw gets 3 weapons on the first few bosses but no 259 weapon from sylv
sludgefist is a bad fight to look at @sick marsh
because of sludgefist's wierd damage windows
i mean u can see if he's done a mistake playing sludge
the best pure ST fight to look at would be Shriek/Hungering/Innerva/Sire
Xy'mox is quite ST too
I'll take a look
I tried to link a xy'mox log but the only one i've on public privacy is when I've tons of mechanics to do early on
But still with those "weird damage windows", Im trying to burst at the same timing and I can't even match the dps, even after first pilar.
With same ilvl.
@sick marsh
-
You didn't use Shiv on every pillar. Make sure to use 2 Shiv's in the beginning as fast as you can, one Shiv per pillar and ONLY one Shiv between pillars. This way you still have a Shiv to use on the pillar. This means holding the second Shiv for 10ish seconds.
-
You're losing a lot of GCD's during the pillars. If you look at the third pillar, all of your gcd's are really spread out. You lost like 3-4 gcd's by spacing them out so much. This is really critical for Sludge, you want to get as much out of the vulnerability phases as you can.
-
You should sync Flagellation with Vendetta/Vanish/Shiv on opener/2nd pillar/4th pillar. Normally you would want to use Flagellation on cooldown, but this fight is the exception to that rule.
When u say sync flag. U mean the haste buff yah?
No, I mean the damage portion of it.
The haste buff isn’t the part that does damage
I noticed my flags aren't well casted, so ye I'm working on it.
thank you for checking !

But is this all explaining the difference between my melees dps and envenoms dps ? This is a constant between me and the top parsers of my ilvl.
Best leggy for assas?
doomblade, and zoldyck for m+
Well some of it is, yeah. But you shouldn't look at the damage of each ability. If your breakdown is similar (Envenom first, melee second, etc) then you're gucci.
Envenom damage increases by using Shiv on every pillar.
Melee increases by being glued to the boss.
@balmy condor what gear slot does new covenant legendary go on
I’ll kill you


o.o
I'm also casting a lot less mutilates and overall I'm casting less abilities than him, I can't press my buttons harder idk what to do x)
I already explained what you need to do.
Do those things first and then come back when you've perfected them.
Yep ok, ty !
so I am working on my UI and I am using Afenar's WA and moving it around, and he has a WA called Garrote CD which idk what that is
It's your garrote cooldown.
When you look at a target that has garrote applied, you see your garrote cooldown on a separate weakaura
I just combined the two weakauras as one.
ah
Where it shows the duration of the debuff in the middle and the cooldown in the top right corner.
You can do something similar with it as well.
Sup
Yes.
Eh
sockets arent even 200 dps
More like IQD's broken.
233 weapons help a lot
233 weps are a myth
phial is like 10 dps over a chain on st
ok maybe slightly more but really not alot
No.
Would love an opinion on what people think the "best" (I know there isn't a best) overall cov to pick right now is. I feel like you take a decent ST hit on Sin by going Necro but gain so much when playing in Combat as Necro.
Well yeah
i sim just abit over 7k if im venthyr instead of nf :/
necro
It's not a massive hit. It's like 100 dps, it's not that much
Necro is definitely the play for overall.
you only notice necro on like 3:30 kill timers
go Venlord or Necthyr
That's what I was thinking. I wish Venthyr was better in AoE as I prefer the aesthetic more but it's hard to ignore the massive gain it has for Outlaw
If you play both specs then Necro is definitely the play.
necro is also more engaging cuz of sbs
Ya, I figured Necro would be the path to pick. The game just won't let me go Venthyr! Thanks guys.
!guide
easier rank 1s for da gang

any1 swapping covenants outside of choices for prog rn is dumb anyways
should wait to see how next raid is
Yo boys, haven’t tried but can I cloak Mythic danny P3 Ravage?
Nope.
no you can't
Aight cheers
Ye you can dilly dally on top of it if you want
that and bloodprice / seeds
I see, so cloak just for a blood price
usually bloodprice or double up yuh
Cloak for the last overlap is pretty good as well
So you can run away from the group in the red
And not get destroyed by massacres
You mean big overlap with Ravage into masacre into Shattering right?
There I just Door of shadows into Shadowstep my anchor
Yep, thanks for answers

You can see the raid fight abilities already. 8/10 fights have adds of some kind

do i use x2 sharpening stone or do i use shadowcore oilx1 and sharpened stone x1 on my weapon which is better?
2x Sharpening Stone generally.
And Spectral Agi potion.
depends on what kind of ads
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
It doesn't really depend on what kind of adds though
is it cleave or like lil shitter ads
Anything extra that you can hit is gonna make necro better because of sbs resets
Not taking the new soulbinds into account
Those could change the balance
But from what I can see so far it's definitely looking like a necro raid
guys i wanna ask something about venthry , is the best soulbind Nidya??
For single target, yes.
Generally the best soulbind for raiding, and Theotar for M+.
as always you are generous ceverion

really thanks i would ask you more questions in next days
Where was this when I went back venthyr?
now I’m a stinky boy
I'm just saying, looking at encounter design, there's so much shit you can cheese with sbs
SBS is definitely kinda funny to use on some bosses it’s kinda busted tbh

come on in, its warm
i hate maldraxxus
🤮
Seems like heroics stop giving renown around renown 21

Also having a necro for plaguefall and top is kinda nice, and you get the perks of never having to worry about buying the god awful anima t mogs 
I got hard stuck at 33 for like 3 days
idk why it was happening to me
Because blizzard said so
see I actually quite like the tmog now its on my toon...
and the black one is really cool :/
I literally said no freaking way on my main but, hey ho..
gemstone is neat, i am all for passives that help dps that I don't have to actively track
You do have to track gemstones though
Because you want to use SBS during the Gemstone window.
well god damn it
@limber lion ruining my casual fun
is it actively worth using over just filling CP in envnom windows, for example?
Nah you want to use it in Gemstone windows generally, using them in Shiv windows is fine as well sometimes.
But gemstone is the ideal place for it
What about for sludge
As long as you don't cap it.
Sbs at start?
So sbs > snd > Sbs > garrote > rupture?
No
And throw a vendetta in there
Sbs > snd > muti > gar > rup
Ahh kk
You just throw one to get the bleed going
Dang I’ve been using it wrong. I kinda just toss my SBS before my rupture
hm, neat, does it also affect say M+ openers? I'm usually 3 garrote, FoK, CT, FOK/SBS interchanging until I get another 5 cp
Yeah that's fine.
What about after rupture
oh wow, closest I'll ever be to cutting edge
Can we just fill?
No.
Any fights with adds though, you get that FAT 5 envenom shiv window 
With sbs
You save them for Gemstone windows
Ahh kk
Or using them with Shiv to not overcap.
Any1 have the gemstone wa?
Kk
So generally, on a ST fight, SBS thrown into opener -somewhere- depending on spec. then save for Gemstone?
Pretty much. You probably want to use a second one in your opener just not to cap.
After applying all bleeds and using vanish and whatnot.
nice, ty for all the info, this scrubs going to bed now so you are free of furhter silly questions
No worries, happy to help.
You ain’t a scrub, scrubs refuse to try to get better. Good night! 
Probably need to head to bed as well in a bit.
Good night my EU friends, I’m just waking up from my afternoon nap 
Fatal Flaw is so huge on PTR 
Yuup

Fatal flaw does seem really nice... 10 seconds of 52% Crit that's juicy
where are you getting 52% from?
What’s usually the go to with wep oils/stones and potions
!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 use double stone agi everywhere because the difference is so small it doesnt matter
unless you're trying to rng your way to a parse
@stoic needle I already have 32% Crit, so with 10 seconds of 20% extra Crit I'll be at 52% XD
ah okay haha
quick question, i got a 226 skulker's and a 233 denathrius trinket, which sims about 50 dps more, however from the tooltip the skulker does around 14.5k damage while dena does 12.4. The extra 5 agility is not that impactful, so im wondering why the denathrius one sims higher, is it due to fire dmg vs physical?
And with Master Assa you'll be at 100% 
how should a MA assas opener be? (im necrolord)
same as the non-ma assas opener
yes
ok thanks for confirming this
also to stay on topic, does vendetta influence trinket dmg or only your spells?
Only your spells.
tyty
wops
Unlucky.
and no one to read them
😦
@balmy condor Ambush -> multilate -> slice then bleeds?
!guide
ty
Dot?
well the damage
whydontyoureadthepinspyr
i dont read the pins cause i dont trust ai computers to tell me what to do
In general I disagree with the design choice to make legendaries for each classes covenant ability because we all know how much of a shit show covenant balancing has been. but I'm not gonna lie the venythr covenant legendary might be insane. If it interacts with the conduit that would be sick
hmmm, balancing for rogues at least was/is fine
Zoldyck
Doomblade is really bad.
You don't really use Mutilate/Envenom on large packs.
So it gets no value whatsoever.
Only on bosses and prides and/or prio targets.
Yeah for sure. What are you doing during aoe if you dont mind me asking, its been an impeccable amount of time since I played my rogue in anything but raiding
It's fine on some dungeons where there are smaller pulls
But Zoldyck is generally the better choice for everything.
I read them 😦
You just spread bleeds (garrotes/ruptures/CT) on everything and then fill with FoK and Envenom if you have time.
Thats what I figured, pretty simple. thanks for answering my annoying questions.
You use CT to apply the bleed (but don't spam it), you use garrote on cooldown to have 3 garrotes up at all times, you spread ruptures on everything that lives the duration.
Annoying?
My boy
These questions are deluxe
Compared to some of the Mickey Mouse questions we get in here.

Can I get a macro to for mut/ambush for blindisde? 
!bis
but real talk, im not trolling playing sin in m+ right? I aint doing no +20s just trying to get my 14s done for the week.
@limber lion you mention using Doom only on bosses / prides, do you use it during tyranical weeks?
figured so, my stats are just WAY better optimized for sin.
plus sin's a lot more involved than outlaw
like you feel like you're doing more than popping blade flurry + ST rotation
Nah, Assa is perfectly fine. Does up to 8k+ dps in overall on some dungeons and even beats Outlaw in dps sometimes.
Just lacks the utility.
that's more than I do as outlaw 
and one more, are you guys ever vendettaing on packs?.. just for prio targets I assume?
Here's a question for spiteful weeks.
How can you prevent getting stopped from restealthing after a pack? The amount of times I've been popped out of stealth or hard stuck out of stealth made me go back to outlaw
No, you still run Zoldyck. M+ is filled with packs and most of your time in the dungeon is spent killing trash (even on Tyrannical)
@plain thistle not so much balancing on a spec by spec basis but more a class vs class, because I know something like Echoing reprimand doesn't hold a candle to something like shifting power or weapons of order
ok, was just clarifying. That's what I did last week and it felt great, lol. I was like "did I miss an opportunity to play with doom?"
You either kill the Spiteful or you run away from the group until the Spite dies and then stealth.
Biggest thing for getting restealths on spiteful weeks is your group kills stuff at the same time and you sneak in a stealth before they spawn
Hah yeah nah. Using Zoldyck always is a safe bet.
Yeh you can Vendetta prio targets and even on packs with no prio targets.
as a fire mage main for the whole xpac, SP is just good. The hyper increased CD reduction for a 2 minute cd that gets reduced by critting.... hard for anyone to hold a candle to that
The more you use your cooldowns (Vend, Vanish, Shiv, Covenant) the more dps you do.
but sometimes you just get wrecked - aka maze in mists or portal platforms in top
Holding CD's is a dps loss.
MFD the spiteful 
I am venthyr lmfaooooooooo, that shit confuses me
It's mostly charity keys with a guild I lurk with, so coordination isn't an option sadge
Me too.
like I guess ill just pop this here?....
then you just sit there and tell yourself "this is fine" outloud
Just slam it on cooldown or save it for Pride/Bosses if they're coming up
Gar Gar Gar Gar Flag CT
Is a good opener for Venth on packs.

Or rage and switch to outlaw
EZ. I fw that mentality. SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH
exactly
nah you say it as outlaw too
its sadge when your best conduit is rendered half effective
xd yeah I just did a 14 pf on my outlaw and it felt incredibly horrible
I want to do high m+ but I don't have a group and pugging is a toughie.
My tank quit during our transitioning from 18s and 19s to 20s (:
True, but I would say sin is hurt much worse than outlaw in this situation.
Then again, rogue is my secondary alt, so I could very easily be underestimating the effect
I miss Shrouded suffocation.
I have been playing fire mage all xpac, anything else I play in M+ is going to feel bad and I just have to accept that
Yes, Assa does suffer from not getting restealths. But it's not that major currently.
isnt that just Subtrefuge now?
Outlaw suffers more because they cannot run MA/KS during Spiteful weeks.
subterfuge existed alongside shrouded suff
received 0 changes because of shrouded
Shadowgrasp totem doing 10% of my damage on ST O.o
If they buffed subterfuges damage and it rewards more cp, yes. But the two together were bliss
Shrouded is literally just extra damage and extra CP.
idk man not having 3 empowered garrotes every pull is awful for sin
Nothing special.
It's really not.
Meanwhile for outlaw I just run celerity this week
people still thinking stealth garrotes are 35% of our damage
Yeh idk

Like if we ran Shrouded then sure okay
Mmmm 210 Zoldycks or 225 Doomblade...
I remember a time when it was 45%+ in bfa
I feel like getting less restealths for less subterfuge garottes is worse than not being able to play ma/ks as outlaw
ye but it didnt have the dmg increase before no?
Celerity and ds are still good
It did.
It always has.
it did, it was just less
ahhh am 🐒
No subterfuge garottes really impacts your energy generation on packs
It did- fuck, I'm slow
SAME LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yeh the longer opener is the biggest toll
Not the deeps from subterfuge garrotes.
But it's not that bad.
It's a bit of both
How does sigil of MA weigh against Zoldyk's?
Long arms help a lot vs spiteful too
It's roughly equal in output but zoldyck gives a better damage profile
Yeah but you can literally just zug the spiteful down and get a re
Only recently made it, but had MA already due to multispeccing
and I lied 1 more damn question, Zoldycks goes on?............. Legs?
boots if you're going to kill mythic kel'thuzad 
Yes sir.
There are no higher ilvl boots
Do you have the items and ilvls somewhere near
How much agi do you get from maxed legendary pants/boots and from the non-big-boy boots/legs?
What does Sylvanas drop then?
A chest and belt
I linked it earlier hold on
We now have the patch 9.1 PTR Encounter Journal, featuring boss abilities and loot for the Sanctum of Domination raid and Tazavesh, the Veiled Market megadungeon. While most of the loot is just placeholder, there are a few interesting items, such as a legendary-like bow from Sylvanas which replaces Kill Shot with Wailing Arrow!
Legendaries will upgrade to ilvl 260
And the endboss loot is 259
But there are no 259 ilvl boots
NS CT or bust
NS CT MA is prob a nightmare this week
are you just good or did you go so slow you got restealths off? 
So it's
252 boots 260 legs
Vs
260 boots 259 legs
I did a mists this week forgot to take off doomblade or change any talents and stilk did 6.1 so I don't feel that bad
I gotta say atm I feel bad for Sub tho
@limber lion are we still using WPS conduit or Flag conduit on venthry? thank you
I mean we didn't specifically wait for restealths
Lashing Scars.
I also pugged a lot of keys that week
ty tyt ty
mostly 13-14's though
I do too, but only because it doesn't even seem like Sub is best overall in PvP anymore.
it's gonna be pretty rough once the patch comes in
sin just seems objectively the far better pick in 9.1 rn in pvp
first build though, that could change

didn't think it'd be quite that low tbh

I just removed the stealth lines
You can look at the action list
And see how the default profile is stealthing between packs
But the no-stealth one isn't
It just vanishes
Try with MA :p
Why?
probably roughly the same
Ive never played sin in m+ but i’d assume MA would make it higher idk
Idek if zold is better tbh

Zoldyck is the better choice
so whats the point
And the one you should play
Ah i c
Yeh
But with NS CT though right?
Ye
You can play it, but don't necessarily take it to +20's
Yeah, it's not simmable either 😦
what
It is though.
Is it now?
it's like ~150 behind
even mean
or something
when I checked it first time the bot didn't do CT from stealth
not bad but not the best
but it does
and it has
well I guess not simmable just by the talents and legendary choices then
it all worked
What? Ok it's just me that's bad then
even if it doesn't
Gonna try
That's nuts I can't believe the dps loss is that small
NS HB FoK opener 
@compact pumice tbh I don't think sub has been best in PvP for a while, they raw dogged peopled at the beginning while gear was still being farmed but now i feel like ret and warrior just slap and fire mage too for that matter, when ever I do arenas with buddies if I'm playing sub I feel like I'm just a stun bot
it's better in 2s
Now I'm questioning why I play outlaw on spiteful 
in 3s i'd probably agree
because you're a meta slave
because you won't play it in raid outside of 1 fight
boys only
No I genuinely thought that I lose hella dps as sin during spiteful week
One of my first fights in this channel was someone flaming me for saying that not getting restealths in m+ wasn't that big of a deal 
during BFA, that was true
"U DONT KNOW WJAT UR TALJING ABOUT"
Like terrible
yeah bfa was a lot worse
But eventually the meta changed to EB/Crit
So it didn't matter as much anymore.
But still did quite a bit.
Definitely more than it does currently
was definitely not the case in legion though, but that's just because half your fucking dmg was poison bomb with t21
I miss uncapped bf
Would pb be busted if it was a baseline finisher 
Tbh I actually love sin for dungeons. I've never really enjoyed outlaw even when it was combat I just felt like id rather be playing a warrior
Depends on the numbers.
It can be good, bad or kinda whatever.
A lot of people, myself included, like the idea of attaching PB to Shiv in some way
It would be awesome to have some kind of aoe energy dump
Ct doesn't work very well as that
Something like "Your Envenom procs Poison Bomb on the target whilst inflicted by the Shiv debuff"
Or something.
idk i wouldn't like sin to just be sub
would PB be busted if it did 20x the damage?
and spam an aoe gen into aoe finisher
over and over
even if we had to keep bleeds up to do that
wouldn't be very interesting
But it's uncapped 
does stat prio change if you are targeting pure M+ aoe? or for fights like Council/Sun King
Would that really make it do 20x the damage
mastery rises, haste falls
figured
You wouldn't gear for pure aoe for sun king or council tho
But yeah
Mastery 
tell my fire mage that
and absolutely not, but was talking about it with a friend
you should, if he's not combusting one of the shields he's inting your raid
cause that's how it be
This is great news tho
I have combust up for first or 2nd shield ontop of bustin every mob pack.
I dunno if I'll ever play outlaw again outside of slg 
good
I bust first shield 9999999% of the time so.
Part of me still wants a poxstorm
But my sin m+ set >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> my Outlaw one
31% crit, 11% haste, 34% mastery
Actual fucking stonks
Fair enough 
I mean it's lookin pretty good for sin, if the raid isn't all aoe fights sin is gonna pump
Even on AoE, Sin is perfectly fine.
And if the new raid doesn't suck for melee of course
quietly takes deathly shadows behind the shed and shoots it
You can look at the encounter abilities on the ptr now
with the other nerfs sin's ST is always worth considering, too
The only issue I've found on AoE with sin is if the adds die super quick, something like huntsman is nice, but SLG feels tedious as sin
Tarragrue and eye of the jailer look like zoldyck fights
Both have nasty final phases
Sylvanas too possibly but I need to reread the abilites more it's a clusterfuck
Yeh. At least on SLG there's 2 beefy targets to dot up and not just the small boys.
@low girder I mean at this point sin looks like it will either be no1 or no2 on ST the only other competition really is shadow priest
The Nine is actually a real ass 2 target cleave fight
We are going to be absolutely disgusting on it
that's what i mean
No healing
So pretty similar to Assa.
Play whatever you want
Who cares
:p
I trolled the sim, do take it with a grain of salt.
You can sim it yourself if you want accurate results.
is 4.1k damage overall in mythic plus at il 208 bad? i could not pass that treshold in my last dungeons
It's hard to say what is good and what is not
It depends on your talents, legendaries, which dungeon it was, how big pulls your tank is doing
Etc.
208 ilvl is pretty low though so keep that in mind
the pulls are not too big (small keys, pugs) but i am always a little below everyone else
Is it common to see NS CT MFD simming higher for Dslice than Zoldyck Subt "normal" spec?
Link the sim
I mean it's unusual
Wait, I simmed with wrong soulbind
let me make a better sim, I did two separate sims now
holy moly my englando
My sims also show NS, MA being better that subt & zold
Wait no
sudden fractures outsimming wps 😮
fucked up again
Hah
yeah sudden fractures is stonks
Yes.
ig so
sin conduits suck
that surprised me
All I need is a quantum and I'll sim for over 7 k
Koji and the other TC's have done some improvements to the SBS apl
But mainly Koji.
I think

sbs would only get better on more targets too :L
progging sire and deciding if i should use it or not
kinda pog
i've done like 4 callings and my SF is still ilvl 145 
oof
my stats suck too much to use IQD 
my first venthyr calling gave me a 200 lashing lmao
Same.
Same
Fix your stats.
And get like 100 dps
it's a big gain
Stop stacking mastery
rip
But still need 213 lashing from just heroic sire
Link sim Mori
are you running the boe ring
oh that one's close
if you can manage an arachnid
even a 220
might be a nice gain with IQD
actually wait you have giga haste
ye
if you swap all 6 its enough
if i resocket all crit instead of haste
-128 haste +128 crit
256 swing your difference is 228
@compact pumice https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tNzxpgizq4syPzKmaWz2YQ
I did your sim
Your NS/MFD/CT with MA is better.
Not by that much though.
