Yw prayge

balmy condor

Rather laugh at it than cry

#

Maybe @royal lantern was right

#

Maybe this channel has broken me

low girder

the bot command is made to be used 😛

steel ridge
#

#

in red

limber lion
#

Hello back.

fathom flax
#

#

warrior whispyr's sanity warrior

limber lion
#

Nothing new here

balmy condor
#

I’m kidding hi @steel ridge bb welcome back

#

Long time no see

steel ridge
#

was hanging out with the pirate bois

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

Cheating

steel ridge
#

but lately i have been playing alot of sin

#

and i think its the way going forward for both arena and raiding

limber lion
#

Good.

stoic needle
#

I hit 1600 io today NODDERS

limber lion
#

Grats.

#

:)

stoic needle
#

Can't wait to pump next week on the non spiteful

low girder
#

with sub getting another pvp nerfbat i'd say you're probably right lol

limber lion
#

Next week is the worst week in the game

steel ridge
#

m+ is still kinda awkward as sin tho...

limber lion
balmy condor
#

You mean perfect

stoic needle
fathom flax
#

Sin2Win

#

i only resubbed for the sin buffs

steel ridge
#

i mean i havent touched m+ since i got KSM anyway

stoic needle
#

But I think I can still get a few points

#

The week after next seems nice tho

limber lion
#

Yeh maybe, Bolstering and Necro has been considered the 2 worst affixes in the game since Legion

#

And with Tyrannical as well

stoic needle
#

Just don't get hit KEKWW

#

Sin dotting everything down evenly is kinda nice for bolstering

limber lion
#

Necro is big boom tank go byebye

stoic needle
#

Oh fuck

steel ridge
#

but just hammering the big mob with outlaw is alot more convinient kekw

stoic needle
#

Yeah....

steel ridge
#

and gouge. why you no gouge sin?!

limber lion
#

Especially since they changed how tank aggro and kiting works in BFA

limber lion
steel ridge
#

i need it

stoic needle
#

No you don't

#

Gouge is a crutch

#

I do a lot of low cp kidney shots

#

And blinds

limber lion
steel ridge
#

atleast kidney does serious damage as sin

stoic needle
#

We don't take that talent tho

#

Iron wire all day

steel ridge
#

oh right...

#

for solo or pvp its gud tho

stoic needle
#

Yeah it's great in pvp

#

And torghast

steel ridge
#

i think i need zoldycks

stoic needle
#

Yes you do

steel ridge
#

only have doomblade 235 so far

stoic needle
#

Smdh

#

Imagine not having 235 zoldyck already

limber lion
#

Imagine not having 235 zoldyck boots ready for 9.1

#

smh

stoic needle
#

It was my first 235 NODDERS

dark crag
#

Was it 5150 ash for 235?

steel ridge
#

boots is the play?

limber lion
#

Currently? Nah

stoic needle
#

If you're going to kill mythic kel'thuzad

#

In 9.1

#

There are 259 ilvl legs

low girder
stoic needle
#

But no 259 ilvl boots anywhere in the raid

steel ridge
#

oh i am so not killing mythic kel thuzad^^

stoic needle
#

Just kill him 3Head

steel ridge
#

this tier i didnt even bother with mythic to begin with

stoic needle
#

He's only the 9th boss

steel ridge
#

my guild is not capable enough

stoic needle
#

My guild starts slg tomorrow

steel ridge
#

my guild first killed inverva mythic two days ago...

earnest remnant
stoic needle
#

Progress is progress

steel ridge
#

we completed heroic in like week 9 or 10...

stoic needle
#

Outlaw jail PepeHands

steel ridge
#

after that i took hiatus xD

stoic needle
#

I don't mind outlaw in keys but outlaw in raid is so tilting

earnest remnant
#

i played sub on progress on that fight

#

assa is okay on the boss

stoic needle
#

We only have one hunter

steel ridge
#

i mean, it took my RL 8 weeks to kick a hunter out of the raid who consistently screwed the whole raid and did 2.5k dps

stoic needle
#

So I think I might actually be needed to do aoe dps

earnest remnant
#

CT spam it xD

stoic needle
#

Aoe dps not aoe inting

earnest remnant
#

there isnt really a dps check at all on that fight at all anymore

#

everything dies instantly

stoic needle
#

We shall see

earnest remnant
#

get 2 WW and the Aoe is there xD

stoic needle
#

We might do that actually

#

Soon we will get to sire and then it'll be my turn to blast

#

Necro sin with zoldyck on sire StonksUp

earnest remnant
#

I play assa on SLG on reclears its rather chill ngl

#

just running around doing my own shit dotting everything

stoic needle
#

There's a lovely irony about playing the bleed spec on the boss with all the bleeds

limber lion
#

First mythic reclear in 3 months tomorrow

stoic needle
#

Hell yeah

earnest remnant
#

i hate reclears took me 9 weeks to get wep from denath fuck that guy

stoic needle
#

At this rate I'll get one just in time for 9.1 to come out kekw

steel ridge
#

9.1 normal raid should be 226 right?

#

and heroic 239?

north basin
#

why we dont want garrote or rupture cast during shiv? coz i found myself casting it during shiv time coz its about to end,

steel ridge
#

cause shiv buffs envenoms

#

and you want to fit 3 envenoms

stoic needle
#

The # of envenoms isn't super important, but you should be trying to refresh rupture and garotte before shiv

#

It's fine to use garotte as a builder during shiv

steel ridge
#

but dont let rupture or garrote fall off... its just a min max thingy

stoic needle
#

I almost always get 3 envenoms in shiv as necro though bonespike

north basin
#

i cant get 3 envenoms in shiv during rotation flow. only if i specifically try to achieve it

#

like holding cp for a brief of second

#

etc

balmy condor
#

It’s not important

stoic needle
#

I'd usually only get 2 as deeper venthyr

balmy condor
#

Stop counting envenoms

#

Who gives a shit

simple gulch
#

Doing trash as sin feels so bad

stoic needle
#

Never

steel ridge
#

depends on lucky mut crits

low girder
#

asking the mastery stacker to stop counting envenoms in shiv windows kekW

stoic needle
#

Imagine

#

The lbe buffed shiv window Kreygasm

#

13% agi on top of shiv + doomblade meruahegao

steel ridge
#

well necrolord is the only cov i dont have maxed :/

north basin
#

iam not counting envenoms and just let rotation flow with priorities. but wanted to ask if 3 envenoms rly a thing. seems like no

steel ridge
#

(with rogue)

steel ridge
north basin
#

ye definetely does for me

#

but not 100% of time

stoic needle
#

Up to 13% extra agi during every shiv, or 18% crit every other shiv pepehmm

steel ridge
#

do we have any info on covenant legendaries for rogue in 9.1?

#

i guess nothing yet and not for month to come

balmy condor
#

Not implemented in game

#

So

#

Probably doesn’t exist

steel ridge
#

i wonder if those are meant as a second legendary since it should be easier to balance with "fixed" legendaries

#

its basically a set boost to your cov

placid cobalt
#

hopefully they are taking care of few classes at a time

#

so maybe we get some love

steel ridge
#

oh shiv gets some serious love in pvp

#

40% heal reduce as of now...

#

sounds nuts

placid cobalt
#

yeah but the class in general is not really faring too well

#

sub is a dead spec for pve and so on, hopefully we get something more than a pvp talent

steel ridge
#

sub was slowly dying since release... blizzard doesnt seem to know what to do with it

balmy condor
steel ridge
#

and the preliminary nerf to MA is the final nail in the coffin

balmy condor
#

As if we have an actual developer

placid cobalt
#

XD heres dreaming man 😄

steel ridge
#

i mean, sin got the cut to the chase talent which is a huge QoL imo

placid cobalt
#

but u know, it'd be nice to get some good leggos and stuff

steel ridge
#

SnD was a mess

north basin
#

we have sub for pvp assa for strong ST and outlaw for aoe. whats wrong with this setting?XD

steel ridge
#

well assa is overtaking sub for pvp

placid cobalt
#

i think chase was more of a patch they had to put there to make the rotation remotely engaging, doesnt seem like a mechanic they really thought about it

steel ridge
#

if it hasnt already

placid cobalt
#

like for example in aoe, u still envenom to refresh snd which doesnt really make much sense, should be on every finisher imo

balmy condor
#

Isn’t cttc less engaging

#

By definition

placid cobalt
#

mhhhh what i mean is u have less finishers that do no damage

#

not in aoe u got crimson

steel ridge
#

in big AoE you dont need SnD tho

placid cobalt
#

i'd take no issue with cttc if crimson or rapture procced it, but it feels bad to be forced to envenom when you dont want to

balmy condor
#

I don’t get why people think slice is a “no damage finisher”

limber lion
balmy condor
#

It’s the most backwards logic I’ve ever seen

limber lion
#

It's our best finisher

balmy condor
#

And it’s so common

limber lion
balmy condor
#

I don’t get it

limber lion
#

"Reee melee is our #1 damage"

balmy condor
#

Like rupture doesn’t do instant damage either

limber lion
#

"I hate SnD, it does nothing"

balmy condor
#

But you don’t see people going “rupture doesn’t do damage”

placid cobalt
#

i mean, ofc everything you do in fight is finalized to increase your output, there is a difference between a dot and a buff tho

#

if a mob is low HP im not gonna kill him with snd

limber lion
#

You're not killing it with rupture either

balmy condor
#

You’re not killing it with rupture either

earnest remnant
#

LOL

balmy condor
#

Hm

limber lion
gloomy knoll
#

snd is boring tho

placid cobalt
#

well rupture might kill it XD

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

lame ability is lame

bleak sky
earnest remnant
#

i mean your melee swings will do more than rupture

placid cobalt
#

it's a buff that results in damage, doesnt really feel engaging to press it every 40 mins

#

40 secs

balmy condor
#

How are you literally gonna say that rupture might kill it

#

But not snd

#

When snd literally does more damage

#

Gtfo out of here

#

Whack ass logic

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

What makes rupture engaging

placid cobalt
#

i just dont get it, u say a dot on a target and a buff are the same thing? sure they both result in damage, but they are far from the same

balmy condor
#

How

#

How are they not

placid cobalt
#

nothing man, but i never said rupture is better than snd

limber lion
#

They both do damage

gloomy knoll
#

rupture is better than snd

placid cobalt
#

i said u already got a maintenance finisher in rapture, feelsbad to have another one

bleak sky
#

snd is 7.5% damage, how much damage is rupture?

steel ridge
#

rupture gives energy

balmy condor
#

If rupture was a buff that increased garrote damage

#

Would that be less engaging

#

Would that make rupture feel bad

#

It’s the same thing

steel ridge
#

blind side makes the spec alot more engaging for me

placid cobalt
#

i dont get why it's getting into a discussion of which spell does more damage, i simply said that 2 different maintenance finishers feels bad

steel ridge
#

its just great to hit those ambushes

bleak sky
#

it's fun but not consistent

placid cobalt
#

ofc you use both and ofc they both increase your output, doesnt mean it's fun

bleak sky
#

I really like that with EP you can be very very consistent

steel ridge
#

EP is lame af

bleak sky
#

instead of relying on the rng gods to top the charts

earnest remnant
#

EP gang

bleak sky
#

(looking at you chaos theory on DH)

steel ridge
#

ambush is the FLUFF

balmy condor
limber lion
balmy condor
#

And then insisted that snd and rupture are different

limber lion
#

Oh nevermind, they use RtB and that doesn't do any damage either

balmy condor
#

Even though their both finishers that you maintain

placid cobalt
#

i still stand by that, i might not have melee range and kill something with rapture yeah

balmy condor
#

And do damage

#

Oh my god

placid cobalt
#

unless u assume everything in the game is a target dummy

#

or in pvp

balmy condor
#

I’m so done

placid cobalt
#

absolutely

balmy condor
#

Lmao

steel ridge
#

guys calm down

#

what is this about xD

placid cobalt
#

if someone is 10% hp u refresh bleed or put snd when u know he'll run?

balmy condor
#

Yep

placid cobalt
#

no need to stress man, it's different ways of thinking, apologies if i offended u somehow

balmy condor
#

You’re right

#

Completely

#

Snd is a shit ability

#

Rupture good

earnest remnant
#

xD

balmy condor
#

Completely different

#

I agree

bleak sky
#

btw is sin rogue on pvp decent? I can't play sub for shit

earnest remnant
#

its aite

limber lion
#

If a mob is at 10% and you know he's about to do a backflip 180°, start cooking pancakes and visit your family, do you refresh snd or put a rupture on it?

placid cobalt
#

i dont get the hate, u say a bleed and a buff are the same thing i don't really know what to respond, whatever i guess

balmy condor
#

If you swapped the icons on rupture and snd for your weakauras and went to raid you won’t notice the fucking difference

#

That’s the point

gloomy knoll
#

rupture is red

#

🅱️ oolin

subtle tundra
gloomy knoll
#

snd is not red 📉

balmy condor
#

Here

#

Let me describe an ability

#

And you can guess what I’m describing

subtle tundra
bleak sky
gloomy knoll
#

shiv

subtle tundra
#

the suspense

balmy condor
#

A finishing ability, that you use in single target. You cast it at 4+ cp, like other finishers. For about 20-30 seconds, it increases your damage to the target.

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

Is it rupture?

#

Is it slice?

balmy condor
#

Is it both?

#

(It’s both)

gloomy knoll
#

is it garret 1

#

garret 2

gloomy knoll
#

or possibly

#

even garret 3

bleak sky
placid cobalt
#

@balmy condor does it require you to be in melee range to do damage? does it require you to be even alive to do damage?

subtle tundra
#

but what about garret 4

gloomy knoll
#

you must learn the wae of the garrets brother

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

the wise ones speak of a

#

secret

#

fourth

balmy condor
#

DOES IT REQUIRE YOU TO BE ALIVE

gloomy knoll
#

garret

earnest remnant
#

but you need to be in melee to press rupture aswell

#

xD

balmy condor
#

Fuck

#

He got me

placid cobalt
#

yeah u can rupture and die, or get kited, i still don't think ti's the same spell sry

bleak sky
#

he's got that Cast on Death rogue build

#

massive dps when you die

limber lion
#

"oh I'm about to die, better put my rupture up"

balmy condor
#

I’ll think about it next time I go to raid

limber lion
#

Just don't die

balmy condor
#

Oh fuck mechanics happening

#

Better not snd

#

I might die

placid cobalt
#

whatever man u just trolling

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

I am

placid cobalt
#

u have even no intention of trying to understand what im saying

steel ridge
earnest remnant
balmy condor
#

No I understand what you’re saying

placid cobalt
#

bleeds and buffs are the same

steel ridge
#

like guy in outlaw

balmy condor
#

I’m just telling you that what you’re saying is shit

#

Rupture and slice have no discernible difference in how you play between the two

#

They alter your rotation in the exact same way

gloomy knoll
balmy condor
#

Their damage profile is the same

#

Their times are similar

steel ridge
#

rupture deals damage at unlimited range

bleak sky
#

AND while you're dead

balmy condor
#

Their priority in the rotation are right next to each other

#

Like

steel ridge
#

SnD does nothing when you are sitting in a fucking frostnova and read the newspaper

balmy condor
#

The only difference you can quote is “oh no my downtime”

#

But think about this right

bleak sky
#

oh, quick question while we're talking about rupture

balmy condor
#

Even with downtime

bleak sky
#

(wait let me check the pins)

placid cobalt
#

again, if you think one dimensionally in a world where you have 100% uptime on everything i can agree with you, but for example in pvp they are completely different spells already

steel ridge
#

dont ever check the pins

#

just ask whisp

placid cobalt
#

so 1: i dont really see the point of your statement, and 2: i genuinely think it is incorrect, im sorry i disagree

limber lion
#

Even in PvP you don't slam a Rupture at 10% hp.

bleak sky
#

k I don't see my question there

balmy condor
#

Who gives a fuck about pvp

placid cobalt
#

you dont, but the target might kite you and die to rupture yeah? which was the statement i got blasted on apparently

balmy condor
#

PvE channel

#

Pvp’s can go to their shithole channel

bleak sky
#

SO

If your rupture is about to fall off and you only have a 1-2 CPs

Do you reapply rupture or just let it fall off, build a bit more and then apply it again?

#

is the diff in dps that minimal that you can just let it go?

earnest remnant
#

but if they guy is at 10% and running and you have CP to rupture why would not just envenom and kill him?

balmy condor
#

You maintain rupture

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

You maintain snd

#

They do damage over time

limber lion
#

You maintain everything

#

At all times.

balmy condor
#

Same ability

bleak sky
#

yea yea I completely forgot about this whole discussion

fallow otter
#

@balmy condor So was my guess correct?

balmy condor
#

Yes

fallow otter
#

I knew it

#

Is your guild doing some mythic yet or just being heroic Andys and chillin

balmy condor
#

We did achieve run and aotc

#

Tier done

bleak sky
#

oof

fallow otter
#

Any inspiration of mythic for future for you?

balmy condor
#

Idk

#

Maybe

fallow otter
#

Just do whatever guild does ?

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

Pretty much

fallow otter
#

Yeh that's how it usually goes

balmy condor
#

Like I’m not sitting here going “oh fuck can’t raid mythic I’m so bummed man rip want mythic want CE”

#

I don’t really care

fallow otter
#

Need someone to put in some extra effort for mythic, strat and making sure you got 20

balmy condor
#

Yeah that used to be me

#

But I cba anymore

#

Too much work to try and get 6-7 warm bodies pulling 3k dps

fallow otter
#

Hahaha

#

Yeh

balmy condor
#

And then frustrated prog

#

While you watch the same people

#

Make the same mistakes

fallow otter
#

I've been in guilds like that

balmy condor
#

For hours on end

fallow otter
#

It's a real good way to hate raiding

fallen arch
#

Mythic raiding sounds depressing

earnest remnant
#

i enjoy it alot

balmy condor
#

It can be

#

Getting a group into mythic

earnest remnant
#

love the feeling when final boss drops dead

balmy condor
#

Is awful

stoic needle
#

It sucks if you're in a bad guild

#

But it's fun if you're in a decent one

fallen arch
#

That already happened at SLG/Sire in my guild in heroic lol

balmy condor
#

Raiding mythic with an established group is fine

earnest remnant
#

agree

fallow otter
hollow escarp
earnest remnant
#

first guild i joined was top 500-800 was a nightmare

hollow escarp
#

every boss down feels good after progressing on it for a while

brazen rampart
#

Having a couple people in the team who clearly aren't for mythic raiding, either because of skill or because they cba doing basic prep, can be really depressing

earnest remnant
#

but where i am now i really enjoy

hollow escarp
#

top 500 nightmare? WeirdDude

fallow otter
#

I ain't no world first race speed but we have decent progression

fallen arch
brazen rampart
#

We have both

earnest remnant
brazen rampart
balmy condor
#

It’s always the worst when you have like 3-4 people

#

Who are holding back the other 16

fallow otter
#

Like... We have mythic on farm nearly done in one night, getting people or CE still

#

So it's chill time

balmy condor
#

And you’re just waiting for those 4 to figure out how to play the game

#

That’s the worst

brazen rampart
hollow escarp
#

the worst is when you are friends with them

brazen rampart
#

You're stuck waiting for mechanics to not target them

earnest remnant
#

my first ever raid tier was EP with a top 500 guild and now just outside of 100

fallow otter
#

Honestly in my experience, bad raiders are usually a recruitment problem because you could have competition for their spots to make them improve/put in more effort or replace them

fallen arch
gloomy knoll
#

that or they're delusional

brazen rampart
#

Yeah but when officers don't recruit more people because "we have enough", that's when you get a problem

snow breach
#

The issue is if your guild isn't attractive you won't get replacements as easily

gloomy knoll
#

people become complacent thinking they're good or they're doing enough when really they're farming it up

fallen arch
#

Couple of guilds I ran with had the worst gm’s / officers but they just recruited better players

earnest remnant
#

ye agree Recruitment should never be closed

hollow escarp
#

"we always accept exceptional players"

brazen rampart
#

Also even the good players lose the will to put in 100% because there's no point

shy dust
#

Just be an exceptional player

fallow otter
shy dust
#

If you lose the will to put in 100%

#

You’re a slacker

snow breach
#

And your guild won't get to be atttactive if the only 20 people you got don't make the cut, so it's tough, easier to just find a guild, get your spot and just be another dps or raider

gloomy knoll
#

i don't know how people go into a boss

gloomy fern
#

I am a slacker

gloomy knoll
#

with the idea of yea i'm just gonna farm this or give 60%

shy dust
#

The “good” player who loses the will to put in 100% because others are struggling

gloomy knoll
#

always tryna do most dam

shy dust
#

Is worse than the person who genuinely struggles

hollow escarp
#

like who recruits rogues?

gloomy knoll
#

sin is in very good standing so

shy dust
#

Our guild was recruiting rogues

hollow escarp
shy dust
#

And we are close to top 100

gloomy knoll
#

any guild who doesn't already have exceptional rogues

#

before sin buffs yea we sucked but

fallow otter
#

None of our rogues are playing rogue atm lol

gloomy knoll
#

you can argue to bring a rogue easily right now

hollow escarp
#

well, my pov is a few thousands ranks behind

#

which is more funny because at this level it doesn't even matter what you play

fallow otter
hollow escarp
#

^

bleak sky
fallow otter
#

That's the moment where we realised rogue sucks

#

Lol

shy dust
#

But rogue was ok for prog

gloomy knoll
#

yea

shy dust
#

It wasn’t the best but it was fine

gloomy knoll
#

i'd say like first 6 bosses it was middle of the pack

fallow otter
#

2fold

gloomy knoll
#

then it fell off

gloomy fern
#

He didn't play iqd

ionic fox
#

Sub is great for council

gloomy knoll
#

until buffs

ionic fox
#

blow up attendents ezpz

bleak sky
#

to this day that guild doesn't have AOTC

hollow escarp
gloomy knoll
#

heroic guilds exist

fallow otter
#

Brm struggled compared to dh, and havoc sucked so ww was the missing link. 3way jump easy decision

gloomy knoll
#

some guilds prog heroic all tier like people do mythic

shy dust
#

^

gloomy knoll
#

other guilds take like a month maybe two to prog heroic

#

and then just reclear

#

my first guild was like that

gloomy fern
#

elitist jerks

snow breach
#

Must be tough having random pugs be better than your guild's raid

nah you don't really care

#

just have fun doing heroic

fallow otter
#

@shy dust how are your wwlogs

shy dust
#

Everyone has different goals

gloomy knoll
#

oblivious to mythic content

shy dust
#

My logs on every class are exceptional

gloomy knoll
#

you notice the gear difference maybe but

#

that's about it

#

when i was a heroic raider i had no clue what mythic raiding is and i had a blast in heroic

shy dust
brazen rampart
#

Exceptional player

fallen arch
#

Don’t forget a lot of people just wanna get smashed and raid a bit with buddies. Then Heroic clear is fine

shy dust
#

I’d have a sludge kill if the alt raid stopped playing bad on the boss

hollow escarp
#

been looking for guild on horde after I swapped recently and man, there are so many guilds at 6-8/10 that are either dead or stopped raiding but they recruit for next tier WTFF

gloomy knoll
#

yea

fallow otter
#

529? Oh haven't cleared just realised

bleak sky
gloomy knoll
#

it was mostly just like middle aged people who wanted to chill get drunk and play wow

#

was pretty fun

shy dust
gloomy knoll
#

honestly those are some of the funnest guilds

shy dust
#

And that’s just WCL on mobile font

gloomy knoll
#

usually got tons of active players

#

just hanging out

#

on the weekends

shy dust
#

Just apply to tons of guilds

#

One will say yes

#

Only takes one yes

hollow escarp
# bleak sky I don't understand it either

I made that mistake in Uldir, my guild quit at aggrammar and ofc we died at Fetid Devourer. Should have realized that if you quit one tier, you probably won't do better next one

fallow otter
shy dust
#

It’s not too bad

#

Just be geared and parsing is a joke

fallow otter
#

Conduit dancing sucks dood

hollow escarp
#

or blame it on kill timer if you get bad logs

shy dust
#

Or die on sludgefist pillar 4

#

And cry about

#

Missing out on a 10k dps log

hollow escarp
#

lol

shy dust
heavy trail
#

nice.... got a last min toghast in was worried since ive never done it as assassination was pretty easy

hollow escarp
shy dust
#

Don’t have to experience the pain of slg if you never prog it

hollow escarp
#

I applied to a guild progressing Sludge but by the time I got a response, they killed it

#

and now I'm gonna be on SLG prog PepegaHands

earnest remnant
#

atleast slg isnt the same monster as it was before nerfs, i still have nightmares from back then

hollow escarp
#

I don't care

#

I bought 800 runes

#

I'm ready for the worst

shy dust
#

What nightmares my guy

#

It’s still the same shitshow

#

You contributed nothing as a rogue in the fight anyways

patent topaz
#

I did slg as assa this reclear, was nice tbh. I prefer it to outlaw

earnest remnant
#

i prefer being sat on that boss ngl

shy dust
#

It’s nice in the sense of

#

You don’t have to play outlaw

brazen rampart
#

Did prog on it as outlaw and it made me hate the spec

shy dust
#

Outlaw is a terrible spec

#

Hating it means you’re a true rogue

patent topaz
#

we do the slow strat still

hollow escarp
#

that's why you like assa

patent topaz
#

well, it was our last reclear, everyone hates the raid at this point

brazen rampart
#

Seeing the third SnD+leech buff in a row makes me wanna log out

patent topaz
#

then I got killed on sire p3 by the new dude

#

I hate the gate overlap part

earnest remnant
#

i hate sire in our main raid, having to stop dps 24/7 and everything just getting instant blown up makes the fight so ass

hollow escarp
#

just get buyers

#

and you don't have to stop dps

patent topaz
#

he gated late I think and neutralized 2 melee

shy dust
#

Having a buyer doesn’t change that

hollow escarp
#

2 InsaneChamp

shy dust
#

We 19 manned sire and still have to hold dps in p1 and P2

#

2 might change that heavybreathing

hollow escarp
#

I also hate mechanics that reward your from stopping dps

fallow otter
#

Knocked out of top 100 wtf need sire weaps and phial

brazen rampart
#

3? monkahmm

fallow otter
#

Send luck

shy dust
#

Feel like at some point

brazen rampart
shy dust
#

You just run outta kicks for adds

brazen rampart
#

Fuck that's true

patent topaz
#

I still havent seen a tradeable rogue weapon token

#

from mythic

hollow escarp
#

vault?

patent topaz
#

or vault

#

220 daggers gang sucks

hollow escarp
#

me and @gusty mirage god good vault luck after gifting subs to Seliathan

brazen rampart
#

I've seen only one, and it dropped for me

hollow escarp
brazen rampart
#

Heroic council weap

fallow otter
patent topaz
#

might join some friend guild for a 6 boss clear to get vaults

hollow escarp
#

I killed council once and got 3 pieces of gear from boss and vault PepeLaugh

brazen rampart
hollow escarp
#

the weapon as well

fallow otter
#

Once you kill sire, the amount of annoyed you get for each vault doubles

patent topaz
#

indeed

hollow escarp
#

depends on expectations

brazen rampart
#

Just get the token first try and unsub

fallow otter
#

I expect weapons haha

#

Which is why it's frustrating

patent topaz
#

I only have 2 council kills and 4 sire kills. Took me 12 kills to get a carapace dagger in nya

fallow otter
bleak sky
patent topaz
#

cant complain I guess

#

I got socketed sire helm from vault and dreadfire drop

gloomy knoll
#

i honestly don't mind slg

fallow otter
#

I've got slg shoulders and sire trinket so it's not the end if the world but you know what it's like I want the other 233 bits to parse

gloomy knoll
#

the intermission phases are just boring and not needed

#

but other than that it's alright i guess

patent topaz
#

idk I got so tired of the bosses I just wanted to reclear as safe as possible and as quickly as possible

shy dust
#

I’m only in for 3 bosses this week

#

Then am free

#

Life is good and dull

patent topaz

I was in for 10/10 this week

as I said, people are really fed up with the raid

Yeh I think it's 1, 3, 9 now

#

Does crimson tempest count towards Doomblade

steel ridge
#

it should, but in what content do you mix those two?

bleak sky
#

wasting a gcd and cps on crimson tempest doesn't seem worth it in single target tbh

low girder
#

it is if you take the talent

#

for other things

#

ie a dungeon

hollow escarp
#

or even boss

low girder
#

but you wouldn't run doomblade with CT

bleak sky
#

ye but I'm assuming this is a raiding scenario

hollow escarp
#

rank 1 sire did run CT and Doomblade

low girder
#

that is specifically the one scenario

hollow escarp
#

damn, Cev lost rank 1 Sire Sadge

#

to a PI abuser

fallow otter
#

Welcome to parsing in general haha

low girder
#

CT is better on sire, people will catch on eventually

hollow escarp
#

wait

bleak sky
#

I'm stupid and posted US only

hollow escarp
#

I was about to say

#

lol

bleak sky
#

7 dps diff feelsbadman

hollow escarp
#

the PI made the difference

bleak sky
#

in non-farming situations you run zoldyck right?

#

for denny

left abyss
#

yea im progressing sire atm, was wondering if it was worth. Also curious as to how hard i can get envenom to hit for, max so far is 21k

low girder
#

depends on the aim. cev ran doomblade on first kill

#

i'll be running zoldyck

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

oof

bleak sky
#

rip

hollow escarp
#

well you got it on your first kill

#

so clearly you can get it again

limber lion
#

Yep, fingers crossed we actually kill it once or twice more.

#

Nothing is certain.

#

But it's okay. Hopefully our reclear goes smooth tomorrow.

hollow escarp
#

gonna be in for Council?

limber lion
#

Yep.

hollow escarp
#

noice

limber lion
#

We're finishing up achievements for everyone who missed out on them

#

Before most of the raiders go on a break lol

sullen pagoda
#

get ready for some reprog cuz people are gonna forget how to play after 1 week of a break

hollow escarp
#

first 6 bosses should be one shots

sullen pagoda
#

we had 2 weeks of slamming our heads at sire without kills after first kill

#

it was

#

painful to say the least

limber lion
#

Kinda scared for SLG, ngl.

patent topaz
#

we managed 1st reclear just fine, 2nd reclear there were 6 <1% wipes and we extended just sire, 3rd reclear also fine

#

I blame the extend on me not being in

sullen pagoda
#

the shield explosion duration increased by 1s made SLG kind of less of monkaS tbh

hollow escarp
#

extending on farm monkaYEP

fallow otter
#

Our slg kills getting shorter and shorter

hollow escarp
#

I saw a guild recently that never extends, it's in their wowprogress description PepegaHands

sullen pagoda
#

yikes

#

imagine reclearing SLG during prog

hollow escarp
#

they haven't got CE since BoD though

#

and I can see why

fallow otter
#

Reclear tomorrow, hoping it's a 1 night clear, not sure if we have more people to get CE

sullen pagoda
#

i cba'd raiding last week so will still be stuck with 226/220 daggers Sadge

no chance at 233 pepehands

hollow escarp
gloomy fern
#

i am getting a 233 dagger 100% tomorrow

hollow escarp
#

I hope I get another council token next vault because I'm not gonna see another one this tier PepeLaugh

shy dust
#

I deleted a 233 weapon in your honor Mizu

hollow escarp
#

ohh nvm, can get 226 from M+ as well

shy dust
#

Bring it home

gloomy fern
#

didnt tyou do that last week also

Same one applies

gloomy fern

its gonna be like carapace dude i think i had like 12 kills before first dagger

hollow escarp

wait, you have 3 weapons @shy dust ?

#

pvp man cba

#

well 2.1 was fun on dk in rbgs but playing rogue oof

hollow escarp
#

well

#

if you had fun with dk

sullen pagoda
#

hey crib go afk on flag or run around in stealth 😴

shy dust
#

Go arena

hollow escarp
#

can't see why you wouldn't with rogue

shy dust
#

Arena was fun to climb in

#

Rbgs is dull

sullen pagoda
#

i suck at pvp for that shit

hollow escarp
#

don't you also need to be not trash?

sullen pagoda
#

well 2.1 sure could do it if i had will power but 2.4 oof

shy dust
#

You could hit 2.1 early on

#

Just by abusing ER

sullen pagoda
#

yea i also had skulkers week 1 of hc and i was kyrian

hollow escarp
#

I've slept on that saying I can do it later this tier so I can get the mount PepeLaugh

#

got nerfed 1-2 weeks in the expac

sullen pagoda
#

half of my friends list was spamming me to play 2s

shy dust
gloomy fern
#

i afked a flag to 2.1k

#

very strong

shy dust
gloomy fern
#

sometime i got bored and watched shows on other screen and lost flag

#

ppl got mad

shy dust
#

That is hard to resist

#

Tab out for a few seconds flag is capped

#

Tab back in retake flag

gloomy fern
#

its pretty fun though if u get to ninja all game

patent topaz
#

on my first eye of the storm I didnt cap the base flag for like 10 seconds

#

because I thought it was like regular eye

#

and I lost it once because I was reading something on the other screen, rogue llife

sullen pagoda
#

LUL i did the same kind of i was like wtf where is the capturing progress bar on side when standing close

gloomy fern
#

i was confused the other way around when i played regular bg

plain zealot
limber lion
sullen pagoda
#

yeah ilvl logs are really irrelevant thing

plain zealot
#

Rlly? Oo i thought its better if you at high ilvl cause otherwise the low ilvl count too? Oo

limber lion
#
  1. You are wasting A LOT of combo points with Mutilate/Garrote/Shiv. You should NOT use those abilities when you are max cp or max-1
#

If you have 3 combo points, you mutilate. If you have 4 or 5, you finish.

north basin
#

at 227 ilvl most of the rogues dont progress. they reclear and farm . so ofc in such company of 227-229 people u will be grey.

limber lion
#
  1. You let your bleeds drop several times during the encounter. Make sure to have Garrote/Rupture on Inerva at all times. Do not let it drop. You garrote uptime was 84%, it should be closer to 98-99%
#
  1. You missed out on several Shiv casts. You need to press Shiv on cooldown, regardless of your energy/combo points.
north basin
#

wait this dude have 233 weapons. he should be good

limber lion
#

You might want to pool BEFORE Shiv, but not when it's already off cooldown. You do that before it.

north basin
#

-=-

plain zealot
#

Hmm ok.. i wasnt sure about the cp.. sometimes i dont know if i should use garrote to refresh (when drop) even with 5cp or just finish and refresh after

limber lion
#
  1. You need to use Flagellation on cooldown as well. You do not sync it with Vendetta, unless you know you're not going to miss a cast. You lost 1 Flag because you didn't use it on cooldown.
north basin
#

btw on the side note. u did 2400 rating in rbg i guess and not arenas?

limber lion
hollow escarp
#

use pandemic weakauras for garrote/rupture to make it easier to remember when you have to refresh

plain zealot
#

@north basin yes ofc in rbg. I hatd arena 😅

hollow escarp
#

most top WA sets have pandemic settings also

north basin
#

ok. now i understand

plain zealot
#

Seems like i have to improve many stuff there.. thx a lot guys! 😊

hollow escarp
# north basin ok. now i understand

arena skill doesn't really transfer to pve skill either, I had a pvp rogue in my guild that was never pressing sepsis because "mastery is bad" happymalddent

#

he was 2500 in arena

north basin
#

rare

hollow escarp
#

for sure

#

usually it's easier for pvp players to get into pve

north basin
#

in my opinion if u 2400+ at arena . u have nothing to ask from pve boiz

hollow escarp
#

than the other way around

#

yeah

limber lion
#

no.

#

PvE and PvP are both completely different games

#

and work completely differently

north basin
#

yea. still

limber lion
#

Rotation is different

#

You do different things

#

You focus on different things

#

You don't care about capping

#

You don't care about wasting combo points

#

You don't care about bleed uptime

#

Everything is different

north basin
#

if u manage to be in 0.5% of pvp . u can analyze pve in a week and achieve same results

limber lion
#

Being a high rated player in PvP does NOT translate to being good in PvE.

#

No, incorrect.

#

100% incorrect.

plain zealot
#

I played assa at WoD last time dude. So i just have to learn the specc again 😅

sullen pagoda
#

I mean pve is definitely much easier than pvp lets not kid ourselfs

north basin
#

iam talking about mindset

shy dust
#

I don’t think that’s even a debate

sullen pagoda
#

i dont think its a week but really quick you would be up to speed on pve

north basin
#

not rotation etc.

sullen pagoda
#

pve is just too basic / scripted its more about time investment and commitment to raiding times than "skill"

shy dust
#

It’s disingenuous to say you don’t have to care about all those things

#

You do have to know your rotation

#

As in to do the most optimal damage

#

To do your burst correctly

north basin
#

yea

shy dust
#

To maintain your bleeds ofc

bleak sky
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
north basin
#

0.5% arena guys are super minmaxer. there is no occasional luckers there. like in rbg

shy dust
#

Just because it’s not as set in stone as pve doesn’t mean you don’t care for it

hollow escarp
#

you just linked them

#

I use Afenar

limber lion
#

PvP is a much harder environment than raiding and I don't think that's debatable.

hollow escarp
#

I mean, I've seen pvp streamers going with wound poison in mythic plus

#

not a huge dps loss

#

but still

sullen pagoda
#

well thats more of them not caring

#

and being boosted for weekly

north basin
#

this

bleak sky
sullen pagoda
#

tbh PvE players biggest quality is how fast can he adapt to new boss and be consistent at new mechanics

hollow escarp
sullen pagoda
#

rotation and shit is really irrelevant part that anyone who actually cares should be good at

north basin
brisk forge
#

Dont do same misstake twice and u can do top pve content

hollow escarp
#

so 90% of wow players don't care about improving at all?

#

that might actually be true though

sullen pagoda
#

its probably true yea

bleak sky
sullen pagoda
#

@brisk forge ive played with lots of players that are top of their class dmg wise but actual monkeys that makes us pull boss 50 times more cuz they cant do mechanics

#

but you check logs oh 99 100 big gamer

north basin
#

i just thought about specific pandemic WA , but on the second thought i didnt want another flashy stuff on my screen)

#

so i dropped it

hollow escarp
#

you can probably drop it after you get used to the spec

north basin
#

or this ye

hollow escarp
#

because you already know when you wanna reapply

#

sometimes I reapply rupture at 8-10 sec left

#

just because I have shiv after

north basin
#

ye on sludge u wanna prepare BIG for pillar and u reaaply at different timings than usual . for example

hollow escarp
#

yeah, reapplying dots on SLudge is Yikes

#

on pillar I mean

bleak sky
#

feelsbadman

low girder
#

"be good and you'll be good at stuff"

north basin
#

git gud

#

yea

hollow escarp
#

it feels bad when you don't see your mistakes

#

even if they happen

brisk forge
#

Ofc but i just meantion what seperate good from bad

sullen pagoda
#

@low girder yea thats true but its more in a sense of you got 19 other people in raid waiting on you to get it right

north basin
#

well lets be honest, analyzing its not common raiders feature.

low girder
#

that goes for most people

#

it's not like people doing arena at 1500 are making different mistakes every time

#

self-analyzing is hard

hollow escarp
#

don't you love it when you have 30 clean pulls and then when everybody gets the mechanic, you die to the basic mechanic? PepeClown

sullen pagoda
#

that happens just dont be the guy to die 5 times in a row to that kekw

#

like massacre p2 i swear

#

some people kekw

low girder
#

dude the first time you ever die to a massacre as a melee

#

feels so fucking bad

#

lmao

sullen pagoda
#

yea i think i got hit twice by it total and both times was me greeding boss uptime like pepega

low girder
#

i got my camera stuck on the mirror edge

hollow escarp
#

we had on dark recital a hunter that died like every other pull

low girder
#

feelsbadman

sullen pagoda
#

@hollow escarp i swear dude its hunters always

hollow escarp
#

squishy class

sullen pagoda
#

was watching friends prog this and last week i dont think their hunter left p2 ever without bress

hollow escarp
#

tbf, it's a bit hard when it's unavoidable damage

#

because they are indeed squishy

#

but dying to avoidable mechanics has nothing to do with the class PepeLaugh

sullen pagoda
#

yea p1 we had our hunters having problems surviving choke me daddy mechanic

north basin
#

imagine going top dps on 40 tries. and then on kill u die coz someone made mistake and dragged u in xD

#

rip logs

hollow escarp
#

those are memorable kills

lavish stirrup
#

hey, how does on play mythic huntsman as Assas? do you keep garrot up on both the boss and the bear?

#

seems like a waste of envenom buff sometimes

hollow escarp
#

all bleeds

sullen pagoda
#

our first sire kill my log was ruined cuz i was afk on pull checking log replay from pull before as dk... rip my pad

lavish stirrup
#

and vendetta on boss only right

#

or bear but I mean not shades (although tempting for them logs)

hollow escarp
#

not shades for sure

#

bears are not a bad vendetta target

#

but depends on fast you kill 3rd bear

#

because the boss takes extra damage when no bears are alive

#

so if you can get a vendetta there, that might be better value

#

I don't remember getting a vendetta in the damage amp phase Sadge

wise gull
#

hold vendetta for damage amp for max pad

hollow escarp
#

for our kills the boss had low hp when we killed Hecutis

#

so vendetta would have been a waste

sullen pagoda
#

they share hp

hollow escarp
#

there is no other bear in damage amp though

lavish stirrup
#

amp means?

hollow escarp
#

amplifier

wise gull
#

the boss always has the same hp when hec dies he means

sullen pagoda
#

ye but boss should be around same hp every time when last bear dies or am i mistaken

#

ye

hollow escarp
wise gull
#

i need to get over this nervousness on sire

#

my p2 dam is scuffed

hollow escarp
#

that's why I can't get more than 7.5k dps on Huntsman PeepoNote

#

one of the reasons at least PepeLaugh

wise gull
#

i keep panic stressing and it's fucking me

sullen pagoda
#

just get all the PIs like me and still scuff the log Sadge

lavish stirrup
#

only did it once and I thought I maintained the rotation etc all right but I finished at a low 6k

#

not venthyr and had to soak but still

wise gull
#

im trialing rn and im just trying to not int mechanics

#

i get so nervous my hands start shaking and shit

#

it sucks

sullen pagoda
#

p2 just make sure to have bleeds rolling and u chilling

wise gull
#

a big part is that ive only been in for like 15 pulls

#

its the guild that max coaches and i don't want him to yell at me

sage fern
#

Hey guys is there a minimum amount of haste required for playing the Deeper Strategem talent?
I'm sitting at 18% haste and it sometimes feels so slow, especially at the opener or when cleaving at huntsman

wise gull
#

nope

#

that's just how it feels

sage fern
#

aight

wise gull
#

afaik you can/should run EP/Vigor on huntsman though

sage fern
#

i see. gonna check that in the logs

#

How much hate do the top guys run with anyways? 18% does not seem that much. I also have a lot of crit (27%)

i.e. will not jumping kill us through cheat death?

steel ridge
gloomy fern
#

i got 100%

bleak sky

It goes through DH's Last Resort and kael's trinket, so I think it should go through cloak/cheat death as well

It's not damage it's just a "you're dead now" kinda thing

Is it obligatory to run subterfuge in dungeon enviroment?

hollow escarp
#

not really, but it's probably the best option

strange python
#

u silence mobs with that so i think ye. plus massively improves garrote dmg and it's on 3 targets

silk zinc
#

I am pretty newish so I am just having a hard time getting used to it

limber lion
#

On 4 mobs your opener is literally: Garrote - Garrote - Garrote - Garrote - CT

silk zinc
#

Fine, thanks then

gloomy fern

But on 5 mobs???

agile geode
#

What dp you think bout new soulbinds for 9.1?

#

It seems like kyrian op

#

I would not rejoin that shit covenant

limber lion

Can't really say as they are not complete and the numbers are not finalized.

Anything could change. So, who knows.

On 3-4+ mobs, what about SnD?

fallen arch
#

You usually have that refreshed from last pack

#

Otherwise, refresh when there’s 2-3 targets left I guess

void gazelle
#

For M+ MA is the best legendary?

fallen arch
#

I’d say Zoldyck, but MA works too yea

limber lion
#

Zoldyck is the best especially in higher keys.

fallen arch
#

Bloodmallet btw gives Bloodfang the most dps in hectoc add cleave

#

Anyone can back that up?

void gazelle
#

Anyone tested the talent which stacking dmg for fan of knives? With MA in M+ i guess its a good burst opener

fallen fable
#

@void gazelle tested it on Sire HC, on adds in p1 its sick...

#

Its acctually only worth playing there as u will have 1-3 GCD before adds are down, and then knifes replenish again for new adds..

void gazelle
gloomy fern
#

why do apl do a 4 cp finisher in opener with ds pepoShrug

fallen arch
fallen fable
#

@fallen arch well unless everyone else is shit u wont do any dmg without knifes talent.

fallen arch
#

True, but then again, that talent is quite useless for all of p2 and p3

fallen fable
#

Not totally. But yeah probably worse than CT or Pb

#

Big players playing it so.i guess its worth. As even adds in p2 going down quickly so bleeds and poisons wont do much on them

wary pawn
#

we use phantom fire pot or agi pot? also 2x sharpened for raid? first time raiding as sin
