How does crimson tempest work? Is it worth to spam in aoe or only refresh when it is about to end and spend CP on ruptures/evenom?

vestal wren
#

and how its seemingly afk

shy dust
#

We extended for multiple weeks and I knew that meant no raid vault despite still needing loot from bosses

shy dust
#

It’s what happens it’s a guild meant to kill bosses not get you loot

stoic needle
#

I do 10 keys every week and still get nothing

#

That's why a reroll token would be nice

drifting cloud
#

bro you got ksm like a month ago lmao

#

relax your roll

stoic needle
#

Who gives a shit?

vestal wren
#

valor points do fix some m+ issues

stoic needle
#

I was doing 10 keys every week even before I had ksm

drifting cloud
#

you missed 3+ months of m15 vault?

vestal wren
#

i would actually prefere to have the pvp system for m+

stoic needle
#

I had 3+ months of m14 vault which is exactly the same ilvl

shy dust
#

So you just had 3 months

vestal wren
#

possibly even for raiding, it seems to be the best in terms of giving he player control over loot

shy dust
#

Of shit vaults?

drifting cloud
#

no hes just lying

shy dust
#

Despite ilvl being king

drifting cloud
#

he was doing 12s and shit

shy dust
#

You had multiple vaults where yeah no upgrade whatsoever

dull cloak
#

they can improve vault right now by rewarding additional currency to purchase a 226 item of choice after like 1 month

stoic needle
#

Quit being an elitist shithead

drifting cloud
#

nothing elitist about it you idiot

stoic needle
#

I'm not talking about back then, I'm talking about now

drifting cloud
#

you literally didnt have capped ilvl rewards from vault

stoic needle
#

Yes I did

shy dust
#

So now that most people

drifting cloud
#

and you complain about the system

visual prairie
#

i'm bored

shy dust
#

Are decked in close to 226

visual prairie
#

of this convo

shy dust
#

The system is bad

stoic needle
#

You mentioning my ksm timing like its even close to relevant

shy dust
#

Because you can’t get BiS items

#

THE HORROR

vestal wren
#

3 choices per week gvies you a high chance of getting at least something over multiple weeks

drifting cloud
#

how is it not relevant that you didnt do 14s for vault for 3months

vestal wren
#

but valor rly helps you get the items you need

stoic needle
#

Literally all I said was that I was tired of getting the same items over and over

drifting cloud
#

???????????

stoic needle
#

But I did

#

Do 14s?

strange python
#

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

stoic needle
#

You fok on 4+

vestal wren
#

vault is 226, valor can be upgraded to 220

sick scarab
#

call me mad but i think VAULT should not exist lol i hate RNG free stuff

strange python
#

is the 6 melee limit on sludge like a ahard cap

stoic needle
#

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

vestal wren
#

i would say valor is the main progression system and the vault is for replacing your 220 with 226 if you get lucky

sick scarab
#

or at least vault should give item level of the m+ you did not more

shy dust
#

You can kill it with more

abstract quiver
#

i wish vault had a pity system at least

shy dust
#

Especially post nerf

abstract quiver
#

if u see me take stygia for a month then throw in a dagger pls

vestal wren
#

but stigia does give you jucy sockets

strange python
#

or do you use fan of knives just until they get the poisons then go back to mutilate

stoic needle
#

On 3 targets ideally youd tab mutilate to apply poisons

abstract quiver
#

got aotc and ksm and im still rocking 213 conq daggers :/

shy dust
#

Just spam dungeons

thorny pond
#

Spam dungeon get daggers

hollow escarp
#

get dungeons spam daggers

dull cloak
#

spam rbgs and get daggers

thorny pond
#

The way my group does them is fail timers feel bad

shy dust
#

Rbg gear should be capped at 200 ilvl

dull cloak
#

shhh i want to sit bases and get 233 weapon every season

thorny pond
#

RBG with an actual group is trash "rogue go annoy the FC and healers to death since you aren't a real person"

shy dust
#

It’s just insanely inflated

#

And easy to climb

#

Very often you will come across people who are 2100 in rbgs

thorny pond
#

Inflated like our egos, amirite?

shy dust
#

And have like 300 games played

#

At 1400 MMR in 2s

lean rover
shy dust
#

Yes

#

By actual rating

#

Rbg is inflated the most

lean rover
#

i should give it a try, need to find 9 ppl to tag though

uneven plume
#

Don’t be scared of 2100 rbg players. Most of them are like 1600 3s and 2s

rain estuary
#

when do you think i should reroll necro? because i wna be rdy for 9.1

thorny pond
#

You wanna carry me then @shy dust ? My GM paid for a 2200 boost then told us to f ourselves

shy dust
#

Actual Raw time spent will still be high

uneven plume
#

Be scared of like 2400

shy dust
#

Since rbgs are much longer

uneven plume
#

Those are actually coordinated groups

shy dust
lean rover
vital haven
#

dude i just got 2100 early in the season in 2s then peaced for the rest of the season

lean rover
#

Otherwise 9.1 is just starting on PTR, grinding à new cov is a 1 week things so

uneven plume
#

2s is much faster imo as a rogue

lean rover
#

you got plenty of time

rain estuary
vital haven
#

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

uneven plume
#

They are fixing that in 9.1 right

shy dust
#

Since like January 2nd

vital haven
#

LOL

#

i think i did likek 2 more games months later

#

when i didnt need geasr anymore from pvp

shy dust
#

Yeah you just hit required rating

#

Then no need to do anything besides yolo rbgs

#

For conquest/honor

gloomy fern

gloomy fern
#

ur profil pic is poorly made rae

shy dust
#

True

balmy condor
#

wait what

#

you fan on 3 only to apply poisons

#

not to generate

strange python
#

alright 3 or above to apply 2 and lower tab

vital haven
#

no

stoic needle
strange python
#

okay

torpid spoke
#

So for msire, why take elaborate planning over blindside

#

And vigor over ds

gloomy fern
#

pad dmg p2

#

big logs

torpid spoke
#

Ah

#

Lol

dull cloak
#

is it really pad tho

limber lion
#

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

shy dust
#

I mean

#

Almost no teams will really need P2 damage

#

That just comes with learning the fight

#

If you’re missing P2 damage

limber lion
#

Some teams still struggle killing the big adds.

shy dust
#

You’re also going to be missing p3 damage

limber lion
#

Like we still had some attempts where we didn't kill Gloom

shy dust
#

So you’re just creating a future problem

gloomy fern
#

having to go gloom as sin is such a dps loss

limber lion
#

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.

gloomy fern
#

how do u still mess up cds 500 pulls in kekw

limber lion
#

Honestly should just stick to P3 damage as much as possible

#

BS/DS/Zoldyck

#

On prog

shy dust
#

Yes

#

Speccing for P2 damage

#

Is padding

limber lion
#

It's a super scripted fight as well

gloomy fern
#

well cds can be fucked for 2min classes if u push p1 early so there is that

limber lion
#

Ye, we stopped dps every pull.

#

Pushed during last Ravage cast

vital haven
#

god stopping dps

#

the summary of this tier

patent topaz
#

I was on gloomveil for all of progress and 1st rekill

limber lion
#

Yeh for Sire it's not that bad

#

Because it's such a short time

#

And P1 is whatever

gloomy fern
#

same, i solo with 3 mages

limber lion
#

Gloom is aids

dull cloak
#

my guild is putting a sin with pi on gloom otherwise it doesnt die in time

gloomy fern
#

we are good gloom killers but sad if u wanna parse

nimble tartan
#

my guild does 2 1 1

#

it feels easy

gloomy fern
#

does what now

nimble tartan
#

dont split up the raid for adds after the first set of adds on drop don

#

and by adds i mean mini bosses

gloomy fern
#

oh that ugly tac

#

thats a yikes from me

#

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

Good job :p

you can get a 10k parse

#

I believe

#

Any reason bloodmallet is showing Essence of Bloodfang as the best hectic add cleave leggo ?

balmy condor

Because it is

Thats a racist reasoning

#

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?

spice spire
limber lion
#

Or kinda whenever you want. Just don't cap em

sand gyro

Thanks both

#

@frail fossil did you see the 259 shoulders that drop from the 2nd to last boss in 9.1 KEKWW

balmy condor
#

Doomblade shoulder crafters

#

Are in shambles

stoic needle
#

theres 259 pants too Sadge

#

zoldyck leg crafters downward

limber lion

zoldyck boots were bis all along

balmy condor

Sbs snd mut

frail fossil
#

oh ok

stoic needle
#

do i recraft zoldyck to boots now pepehmm

limber lion
#

Don't do the same mistake that I did.

stoic needle
#

but that 30 dps KekW

limber lion
#

Bro

#

I'm pretty sure you still get more dps from 235 legs

#

Or

#

Whatever the new cap is

stoic needle
#

you know i'm 99% memeing right

limber lion
#

Yeh but just incase that 1% isn't

stoic needle
#

yeah but there aren't any 259 boots

limber lion
#

Yeh there aren't

spice spire
#

Oh no, the logic’s there

limber lion
#

But it doesn't instantly mean

spice spire
#

Craft the boots boys, it’s all ogre pepehands

limber lion
#

That you get more stats from using Leg boots and good pants, versus leg pants and aight boots

stoic needle
#

it's only belt, shoulders, chest, pants

spice spire
#

don’t actually

frail fossil
#

i think i did a oopsie and forgot i had vanish monkaULTRA

#

well rip i have shoulders on doomblade and celerity

I’m going to proudly wear my Doomblade shoulders peophammer

stoic needle
limber lion
#

@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

stoic needle
#

just think of the m+ stonks

spice spire
#

Mastery tinfoil_pepe

#

Ihysm osh

frail fossil
gloomy fern
#

garotte in to pillar poggers

frail fossil
#

so i dont have to refresh before pillar

limber lion
#

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

stoic needle
#

at least they're putting crit/mastery gear in the raid now

limber lion
#

No rupture, garrote, fok, pk or any of that other stuff

gloomy fern
#

mastery peepomad

stoic needle
#

@marble hemlock look at how much crit is on this ring

gloomy fern
#

hidden blade into pillar is actually the play

limber lion
#

Might be

stoic needle
#

i like these items with heavy weights into a stat instead of half/half

gloomy fern
#

i also dislike legendarys

spice spire
#

I do prefer the heavy into stat rings - like inerva and sire over the half/half rings

stoic needle
spice spire
#

Now that’s a nut

stoic needle
#

i wish we could weight our legendaries like that

#

choose the balance of the secondaries

cyan kite
#

Next raid ilvls are 233/246/259 for the three difficulties?

stoic needle
#

for the end bosses

spice spire
#

For the final two bosses. It’s 226/239/252 iirc

stoic needle
#

yeah

cyan kite
#

Gotcha

spice spire
#

Every difficulty ramps 13 🙂

jovial oriole
#

Where do you guys use your CD's on sludgefist? At the start or on first pillar? We will BL on 4th pillar

nimble tartan
#

pull 2nd 4th

jovial oriole
#

thx!

cyan kite
#

They're continuing the weapon token system for next raid?

limber lion
#

Not from the looks of it, but anything and everything is subject to change.

patent topaz
#

Great system, still have 220 weapons, 1 warrior and 1 monke in my raid. Doesnt ever drop anyway

cyan kite
#

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

patent topaz
#

yeah, mainly down to being so far into the tier

uneven plume
#

So far into the tier but always get benched when we get there

#

The idea of every boss dropping a token seems fair

swift dragon
#

adversary or second potency with nadija ?

limber lion
#

Adversary

swift dragon
#

sick marsh
#

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).

#

I already asked some help here for similar reasons, but I'm still struggling.

stoic needle
#

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

swift dragon
#

sludgefist is a bad fight to look at @sick marsh

sick marsh
#

why is it ? I can send other logs.

#

i'm still raidingtho.

uneven plume
#

Your are not receiving 9 PIs that fight

#

You*

frail fossil
#

none of them are getting PIs

#

what are u on about

swift dragon
frail fossil
swift dragon
#

the best pure ST fight to look at would be Shriek/Hungering/Innerva/Sire

#

Xy'mox is quite ST too

sick marsh
#

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.

limber lion
#

@sick marsh

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

magic oxide
#

When u say sync flag. U mean the haste buff yah?

limber lion
#

No, I mean the damage portion of it.

balmy condor
#

The haste buff isn’t the part that does damage

sick marsh
#

I noticed my flags aren't well casted, so ye I'm working on it.

#

thank you for checking !

limber lion
sick marsh
#

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.

rose ermine
#

Best leggy for assas?

frail fossil
limber lion
#

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

o.o

sick marsh
#

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)

limber lion
#

Do those things first and then come back when you've perfected them.

sick marsh
#

Yep ok, ty !

sweet zealot
#

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

limber lion
#

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.

sweet zealot
#

ah

limber lion
#

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

gloomy fern
#

233 weps are a myth

drifting cloud
#

phial is like 10 dps over a chain on st

limber lion
#

Ye

#

Chain is pretty good.

drifting cloud
#

ok maybe slightly more but really not alot

limber lion
#

No.

spark hearth
#

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.

limber lion
#

Well yeah

dull cloak
#

i sim just abit over 7k if im venthyr instead of nf :/

limber lion
#

Necro is definitely the play for overall.

drifting cloud
#

you only notice necro on like 3:30 kill timers

lean rover
#

go Venlord or Necthyr

spark hearth
#

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

limber lion
#

If you play both specs then Necro is definitely the play.

dull cloak
#

necro is also more engaging cuz of sbs

spark hearth
#

Ya, I figured Necro would be the path to pick. The game just won't let me go Venthyr! Thanks guys.

should wait to see how next raid is

muted ridge
#

Yo boys, haven’t tried but can I cloak Mythic danny P3 Ravage?

gloomy knoll
#

no you can't

muted ridge
#

Aight cheers

limber lion
#

Nor massacre

#

Nor Shattering pain

#

Everything's scuffed in P3

gloomy knoll
#

you can cloak the ravage after the fact

#

just not the hit when it go's out

limber lion
#

Ye you can dilly dally on top of it if you want

gloomy knoll
#

that and bloodprice / seeds

muted ridge
#

I see, so cloak just for a blood price

gloomy knoll
#

usually bloodprice or double up yuh

limber lion
#

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

muted ridge
#

You mean big overlap with Ravage into masacre into Shattering right?

#

There I just Door of shadows into Shadowstep my anchor

worthy iris
#

do i use x2 sharpening stone or do i use shadowcore oilx1 and sharpened stone x1 on my weapon which is better?

limber lion
#

And Spectral Agi potion.

gloomy knoll
#

depends on what kind of ads

limber lion
#

It's similar output but more consistent.

#

But you can sim it using:

#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

stoic needle
#

It doesn't really depend on what kind of adds though

gloomy knoll
#

is it cleave or like lil shitter ads

stoic needle
#

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

gloomy knoll
#

still too early to tell

#

need to see balancing sims

#

leggos

#

borrowed power etc

rustic whale
#

guys i wanna ask something about venthry , is the best soulbind Nidya??

limber lion
#

Generally the best soulbind for raiding, and Theotar for M+.

as always you are generous ceverion

limber lion

i m turning to venthry

I literally said no freaking way on my main but, hey ho..

limber lion
#

You do have to track gemstones though

#

Because you want to use SBS during the Gemstone window.

#

well god damn it

limber lion
#

Unlucky.

winter vapor
#

@limber lion ruining my casual fun

limber lion
#

I mean you can just have a weak aura that pops up when you get the buff

#

Then go ham

winter vapor
#

is it actively worth using over just filling CP in envnom windows, for example?

limber lion
#

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

uneven plume
#

What about for sludge

limber lion
#

As long as you don't cap it.

uneven plume
#

Sbs at start?

limber lion
#

On Sludge you use it on pillars.

#

SBS as your first gcd yes.

uneven plume
#

So sbs > snd > Sbs > garrote > rupture?

limber lion
#

No

uneven plume
#

And throw a vendetta in there

limber lion
#

Sbs > snd > muti > gar > rup

uneven plume
#

Ahh kk

limber lion
#

You just throw one to get the bleed going

gusty mirage
winter vapor
#

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

limber lion
#

A lot of people have been

#

The sim logic changed recently.

#

Like 2 days ago.

uneven plume
#

What about after rupture

winter vapor
#

oh wow, closest I'll ever be to cutting edge

uneven plume
#

Can we just fill?

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

Any fights with adds though, you get that FAT 5 envenom shiv window Clappers

uneven plume
#

With sbs

limber lion
#

You save them for Gemstone windows

uneven plume
#

Ahh kk

limber lion
#

Or using them with Shiv to not overcap.

uneven plume
#

Any1 have the gemstone wa?

limber lion
#

I'm sure you can find some in wago.io

uneven plume
#

Kk

winter vapor
#

So generally, on a ST fight, SBS thrown into opener -somewhere- depending on spec. then save for Gemstone?

limber lion
#

After applying all bleeds and using vanish and whatnot.

winter vapor
#

nice, ty for all the info, this scrubs going to bed now so you are free of furhter silly questions

limber lion
#

No worries, happy to help.

Good night my EU friends, I’m just waking up from my afternoon nap omegalul

Fatal Flaw is so huge on PTR 02Sipsip

limber lion
#

Yuup

livid temple
#

Fatal flaw does seem really nice... 10 seconds of 52% Crit that's juicy

stoic needle
#

where are you getting 52% from?

uneven plume
#

What’s usually the go to with wep oils/stones and potions

stoic needle
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

livid temple
#

@stoic needle I already have 32% Crit, so with 10 seconds of 20% extra Crit I'll be at 52% XD

stoic needle
#

ah okay haha

placid cobalt
#

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?

limber lion
fallen pilot
#

how should a MA assas opener be? (im necrolord)

balmy condor
#

same as the non-ma assas opener

placid cobalt
#

ok thanks for confirming this

#

also to stay on topic, does vendetta influence trinket dmg or only your spells?

placid cobalt
#

tyty

balmy condor
#

all these pins

placid cobalt

wops

limber lion

Unlucky.

balmy condor

and no one to read them

😦

fallen pilot
#

@balmy condor Ambush -> multilate -> slice then bleeds?

limber lion
#

Muti - Snd - Muti - Gar

#

Or SBS - SnD - Muti as Necro.

balmy condor

ambush from stealth

#

into a mut

fallen pilot

i wonder, i was doing multilate

guess i was doing it right

balmy condor

these all have sample openers

I would highly suggest reading them

good info

limber lion

Ye and you can quick sim yourself to get an opener example as well

#

veri gud.

uneven plume
#

does Shadow Totem crit?

#

the dot

#

i know its hasted

limber lion
#

Dot?

uneven plume
#

well the damage

limber lion
#

I mean, yeah it does crit.

#

I guess it is damage over time.

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

plain thistle
#

hmmm, balancing for rogues at least was/is fine

winged basin
#

yall use zoldycks for M+ or Doomblade

#

I have seen both

limber lion
#

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.

winged basin
#

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

limber lion
#

It's fine on some dungeons where there are smaller pulls

#

But Zoldyck is generally the better choice for everything.

gusty mirage
limber lion
winged basin
#

Thats what I figured, pretty simple. thanks for answering my annoying questions.

limber lion
#

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.

gusty mirage
winged basin
#

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.

gusty mirage
#

you're fine w/ sin

#

probably until the end of the expac

limber swallow
#

@limber lion you mention using Doom only on bosses / prides, do you use it during tyranical weeks?

winged basin
#

figured so, my stats are just WAY better optimized for sin.

gusty mirage
#

plus sin's a lot more involved than outlaw

#

like you feel like you're doing more than popping blade flurry + ST rotation

limber lion
#

Just lacks the utility.

gusty mirage
winged basin
#

and one more, are you guys ever vendettaing on packs?.. just for prio targets I assume?

unborn otter
#

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

limber lion
livid temple
#

@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

limber swallow
limber lion
gusty mirage
#

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

limber lion
limber lion
winged basin
limber lion
#

The more you use your cooldowns (Vend, Vanish, Shiv, Covenant) the more dps you do.

gusty mirage
#

but sometimes you just get wrecked - aka maze in mists or portal platforms in top

limber lion
#

Holding CD's is a dps loss.

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

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.

hollow escarp
winged basin
#

EZ. I fw that mentality. SMASH SMASH SMASH SMASH

gusty mirage
#

nah you say it as outlaw too

#

its sadge when your best conduit is rendered half effective

winged basin
#

xd yeah I just did a 14 pf on my outlaw and it felt incredibly horrible

limber lion
#

I want to do high m+ but I don't have a group and pugging is a toughie.

gusty mirage
#

My tank quit during our transitioning from 18s and 19s to 20s (:

unborn otter
#

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.

winged basin
#

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

limber lion
#

Yes, Assa does suffer from not getting restealths. But it's not that major currently.

winged basin
limber lion
#

Outlaw suffers more because they cannot run MA/KS during Spiteful weeks.

balmy condor
#

received 0 changes because of shrouded

uneven plume
#

Shadowgrasp totem doing 10% of my damage on ST O.o

unborn otter
limber lion
#

Shrouded is literally just extra damage and extra CP.

cyan kite
#

idk man not having 3 empowered garrotes every pull is awful for sin

limber lion
#

Nothing special.

cyan kite
#

Meanwhile for outlaw I just run celerity this week

balmy condor
#

people still thinking stealth garrotes are 35% of our damage

limber lion
#

Yeh idk

balmy condor
limber lion
#

Like if we ran Shrouded then sure okay

winged basin
#

Mmmm 210 Zoldycks or 225 Doomblade...

limber lion
#

Zoldyck for M+

#

Regardless of ilvl.

unborn otter
#

I remember a time when it was 45%+ in bfa

stoic needle
#

I feel like getting less restealths for less subterfuge garottes is worse than not being able to play ma/ks as outlaw

winged basin
stoic needle
#

Celerity and ds are still good

limber lion
#

It always has.

balmy condor
winged basin
#

ahhh am 🐒

stoic needle
#

No subterfuge garottes really impacts your energy generation on packs

unborn otter
winged basin
#

SAME LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

limber lion
#

Yeh the longer opener is the biggest toll

#

Not the deeps from subterfuge garrotes.

#

But it's not that bad.

stoic needle
#

It's a bit of both

limber lion
#

It's not like you go from 8k to 6k

#

Because you don't get stealth.

unborn otter
#

How does sigil of MA weigh against Zoldyk's?

stoic needle
#

Long arms help a lot vs spiteful too

limber lion
#

Running does too

#

:^)

stoic needle
#

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

unborn otter
#

Only recently made it, but had MA already due to multispeccing

winged basin
#

and I lied 1 more damn question, Zoldycks goes on?............. Legs?

stoic needle
#

boots if you're going to kill mythic kel'thuzad kappa

winged basin
#

who tf is mythic kelthuzad lmao

#

retcons be like

stoic needle
#

The 2nd to last boss of the next tier

#

Drops higher ilvl pants

stoic needle
#

There are no higher ilvl boots

limber lion
#

Do you have the items and ilvls somewhere near

winged basin
#

Idek why I asked

#

I have 226 crit haste boots apparently

limber lion
#

How much agi do you get from maxed legendary pants/boots and from the non-big-boy boots/legs?

compact pumice
stoic needle
#

I linked it earlier hold on

compact pumice
#

Ah ok

#

So RIP my Finality on Chest

stoic needle
#
#

Legendaries will upgrade to ilvl 260

#

And the endboss loot is 259

#

But there are no 259 ilvl boots

compact pumice
#

NS CT MA is prob a nightmare this week

balmy condor
#

that's what I played last spiteful week

#

still did 6-6.5k

compact pumice
#

are you just good or did you go so slow you got restealths off? lul

stoic needle
#

So it's
252 boots 260 legs

Vs

260 boots 259 legs

livid temple
#

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

rustic whale
#

@limber lion are we still using WPS conduit or Flag conduit on venthry? thank you

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

I also pugged a lot of keys that week

rustic whale
#

ty tyt ty

balmy condor
#

mostly 13-14's though

compact pumice
low girder
#

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

low girder
limber lion
#

"We lose most of our dps from not having stealth REE "

low girder
#

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

stoic needle
#

What did you put into the sim?

compact pumice
limber lion
#

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

solar hare
#

Try with MA :p

low girder
#

someone should do that with outlaw celerity

#

i wonder if it's higher

#

with cto

limber lion
balmy condor
#

probably roughly the same

solar hare
#

Ive never played sin in m+ but i’d assume MA would make it higher idk

#

Idek if zold is better tbh

balmy condor
#

well of course MA would make it higher

#

but we also don't play MA

limber lion
#

Zoldyck is the better choice

balmy condor
#

so whats the point

limber lion
#

And the one you should play

solar hare
#

Ah i c

limber lion
#

Yeh

low girder
#

you only run MA with the meme build

#

that i'm always gonna peddle

compact pumice
limber lion
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but that's a non-standard build

#

that isn't recommended

limber lion
#

You can play it, but don't necessarily take it to +20's

compact pumice
#

Yeah, it's not simmable either 😦

balmy condor
#

what

limber lion
#

It is though.

compact pumice
#

Is it now?

balmy condor
#

"it's not simmable"

#

the fuck

#

does that

low girder
#

it's like ~150 behind

balmy condor
#

even mean

low girder
#

or something

compact pumice
#

when I checked it first time the bot didn't do CT from stealth

low girder
#

not bad but not the best

balmy condor
#

and it has

compact pumice
#

well I guess not simmable just by the talents and legendary choices then

low girder
#

it all worked

compact pumice
#

What? Ok it's just me that's bad then

balmy condor
#

even if it doesn't

compact pumice
#

Gonna try

balmy condor
#

NS fok from stealth

#

isn't even that bad

stoic needle
#

That's nuts I can't believe the dps loss is that small

low girder
#

NS HB FoK opener peepostudy

livid temple
#

@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

low girder
#

it's better in 2s

stoic needle
#

Now I'm questioning why I play outlaw on spiteful peepostudy

low girder
#

in 3s i'd probably agree

balmy condor
#

because you're a meta slave

low girder
#

because you won't play it in raid outside of 1 fight

limber lion
#

sin boys only

stoic needle
#

No I genuinely thought that I lose hella dps as sin during spiteful week

low girder
#

may as well run it in keys

#

gotta flex the pure dps muscle

balmy condor
#

like I said earlier

#

I ran it last spiteful

stoic needle
#

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 WeirdChamp

balmy condor
#

and the spiteful in 9.0.2

#

and that was it

stoic needle
#

They were like

#

"DONT TALK IF U DONT PLAY SIN IN M+"

balmy condor
#

during BFA, that was true

limber lion
#

Ye

#

During BFA it was awful

#

So bad

stoic needle
#

"U DONT KNOW WJAT UR TALJING ABOUT"

limber lion
#

Like terrible

low girder
#

yeah bfa was a lot worse

limber lion
#

Legit 0 damage without steath

#

But that's only because of SS

magic oxide
#

Triple ss

#

What a meme

limber lion
#

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

low girder
#

was definitely not the case in legion though, but that's just because half your fucking dmg was poison bomb with t21

magic oxide
#

I miss uncapped bf

stoic needle
#

Would pb be busted if it was a baseline finisher peepostudy

livid temple
#

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

limber lion
#

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

stoic needle
#

It would be awesome to have some kind of aoe energy dump

#

Ct doesn't work very well as that

limber lion
#

Something like "Your Envenom procs Poison Bomb on the target whilst inflicted by the Shiv debuff"

#

Or something.

low girder
#

idk i wouldn't like sin to just be sub

balmy condor
low girder
#

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

stoic needle
#

But it's uncapped kekw

balmy condor
#

16 targets pb

winged basin
#

does stat prio change if you are targeting pure M+ aoe? or for fights like Council/Sun King

stoic needle
low girder
#

sun king is a single target fight disguised as aoe

#

btw

winged basin
#

figured

stoic needle
#

But yeah

#

Mastery Stonks

winged basin
limber lion
#

Why do I get an error about PTR Chain Lightning when simming for Rogue lul

winged basin
#

and absolutely not, but was talking about it with a friend

low girder
#

you should, if he's not combusting one of the shields he's inting your raid

stoic needle
#

This is great news tho

winged basin
stoic needle
#

I dunno if I'll ever play outlaw again outside of slg pepechortle

low girder
#

good

winged basin
#

I bust first shield 9999999% of the time so.

stoic needle
#

Part of me still wants a poxstorm

#

But my sin m+ set >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> my Outlaw one

#

31% crit, 11% haste, 34% mastery

#

Actual fucking stonks

limber lion
livid temple
#

I mean it's lookin pretty good for sin, if the raid isn't all aoe fights sin is gonna pump

limber lion
#

Even on AoE, Sin is perfectly fine.

livid temple
#

And if the new raid doesn't suck for melee of course

stoic needle
#

quietly takes deathly shadows behind the shed and shoots it

#

You can look at the encounter abilities on the ptr now

low girder
#

with the other nerfs sin's ST is always worth considering, too

livid temple
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

limber lion
livid temple
#

@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

stoic needle
#

The Nine is actually a real ass 2 target cleave fight

#

We are going to be absolutely disgusting on it

stoic needle
#

No healing

limber lion
#

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.

vagrant bison
#

is 4.1k damage overall in mythic plus at il 208 bad? i could not pass that treshold in my last dungeons

limber lion
#

It depends on your talents, legendaries, which dungeon it was, how big pulls your tank is doing

#

Etc.

stoic needle
#

208 ilvl is pretty low though so keep that in mind

vagrant bison
#

the pulls are not too big (small keys, pugs) but i am always a little below everyone else

compact pumice
#

Is it common to see NS CT MFD simming higher for Dslice than Zoldyck Subt "normal" spec?

balmy condor
#

it happens

#

it's not common tho

limber lion
#

I mean it's unusual

compact pumice
#

Wait, I simmed with wrong soulbind

#

let me make a better sim, I did two separate sims now

limber lion
#

holy moly my englando

i've done like 4 callings and my SF is still ilvl 145 Sadge

ive had this 226 iqd in my bags for

Fix your stats.

force it to give crit

And get like 100 dps

low girder

it's a big gain

Stop stacking mastery

my vers is

nah

#

i have it but

#

using entwined tho

low girder
#

oh that one's close

#

if you can manage an arachnid

#

even a 220

#

might be a nice gain with IQD

solar hare
#

yeah i just dont wanna resocket

#

yeah

#

i wonder

#

if i resocket all crit

low girder
#

actually wait you have giga haste

solar hare
#

ye

low girder
#

for running a crit/vers ring

#

lmao

solar hare
#

718 haste

#

:L

drifting cloud
#

if you swap all 6 its enough

solar hare
#

if i resocket all crit instead of haste

drifting cloud
#

-128 haste +128 crit

solar hare
#

i could get haste/crit iqd

#

that could be giga?

low girder
#

if you can get crit highest

#

it's really big

drifting cloud
#

256 swing your difference is 228

limber lion
#

I did your sim

#

Your NS/MFD/CT with MA is better.

#

Not by that much though.

stoic needle

how is yours so much higher than mine
