if using CT you will use it even in CT, but in CT you dont use if inside shiv windows, otherwise you maintain

astral mirage
#

I'm assuming FOK is still the combo builder for this?

plain thistle
#

yes, fok 4+ targets

astral mirage
#

oh, ok 4+ ..ive not been for 4 only 5. interesting

#

Hey boys anyone having issue with stealth on SD ? the pack with 3big guys after 3rd boss

plain thistle
#

CT on max-1 like any finisher, but you just maintain the dot, dont spam

astral mirage
#

kk. thank you. same for less than 4 as well?

#

well say 3-4

plain thistle
#

yup

astral mirage
#

i never do with 1 or 2.

#

right. ok. some new stuff to try. thank you!

@plain thistle I guess lets say on a low key before the 1st boss....all those ads are generally dead in seconds i guess its ok to spam some CT then if they will barely live for a few seconds? I understand that the damage probably is meaninglessness for anything other than parses

plain thistle
#

in that case I would just open normally with dots for energy and spam envenom, dont think its worth to spam CT

#

CT spam was a thing last expansion, not so much right now

#

I wonder if these 2 guys forgot to swap back to Nadjia PepeLaugh

heavy trail
#

and on run 25 A dh GAVE ME a phial 🙂

#

now to just start pushing keys and upgrade my phil and shadowgrasp or contiue trying to farm for IQD also. I will probably run out of valor. Also have a 210 decantor to play with for now

frosty anchor
heavy trail
#

I noticed that as well when I did some D a few days ago

#

is there a way to change ilevel on raidbots of say a trinket to be higher ?

plain thistle
#

and after raidbots completes the simulation you can "copy" that and use that to sim other things

heavy trail
#

ok thanks

plain thistle
#

to copy

I did 40 plus DOS so far and got a phial on my 25h PF so a bit blurry eyed atm lol

It'll be the 41st kekw

Got lucky and some DH already had it and gave me it since I have no luck 🙂

So like I have a /use [@target, nostealth] 14 macro but it still seems to use the mana or heal thing from iQD. Is there anyway to avoid it using those or is dem da breaks or am I doing something wrong. (I have a lower level iQD from heroic dungeon)

plain thistle
#

make sure no one is low health and your healer has mana, you can also use without a target to avoid using the execute

stoic needle
#

You should get the weakaura so that you know what effect you'll get

plain thistle
stoic needle
plain thistle
#

I would say phial and dreadfire, but people really like IQD

stoic needle
#

Not everyone really has access to a 233 dreadfire

#

And if you're venthyr iqd is better

heavy trail
#

Yeah I got the WA just wanted to make sure wasn't messing anything up

mighty owl
#

226 skulkers is better than 220 iqd for me at least

heavy trail
#

the 207 (after i gear compared) sims about -6 dps in dungeon slice compared to my 210 decanter so will keep that for now i suppose

stoic needle
#

226 skulker's is over a 30 dps loss from 220 iqd for my profile

#

Skulker's isn't very good for sin

mighty owl
#

I’m also necro, but it’s just profile dependent seemingly

heavy trail
#

don't think im gonna get a skulker's of that ilevel being a scrub and guildless loner either so 🙂

stoic needle
#

You can pug shriekwing mythic easy

compact pumice
#

IQD simmed better than a 233 Dreadfire for 5 min, though 6min it was the opposite (absolute worst case for an IQD though exactly 6 min). Was very close though, and a 220 IQD wins over Skulker's. Considering how often skulker's can either straight up kill you or hit a spiteful for the whole amount instead I probably should get to farming DOS more...

stoic needle
#

And it will be an upgrade

mighty owl
#

They’re both good trinkets peepoCheer

compact pumice
#

Also quite unfair to compare 233 Dreadfire with 220 IQD only

stoic needle
#

I think skulker's is garbage but if you can't get anything better than sure I guess

odd heath
#

Because it sims better this way

stoic needle
#

You might need to change gear then

#

Like getting a crit ring instead of the boe vers ring

odd heath
#

But tbh, I don't like iqd

floral shoal
#

Which classes/specs have iqd as bis? I gave one to a resto sham the other day with my trash hunter.

stoic needle
#

I mean nobody is forcing you to use it, but when built around it is the best trinket for sin

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

Hey guys...so for doomblade (and strictly ST) the most buff envenom you can get is +15% right? (garrote, sbs, rupture)

gloomy fern
#

have u heard about mutilated flesh

peak bridge
#

hi all - still learning the spec. at what number of targets does FoK > Mutilate? On big packs am I right to just keep garrote on as much as I can, FoK everything and spend points on Rupture only if something will live for the duration otherwise envenom to spend?? any help appreciated!

gusty mirage
#

change my mind

gloomy fern
#

skulkers bis

polar cape
#

Skulker is the troll sludge partner trinket

gloomy fern
#

actually impossible to kill someone with skulkers on sludge

gusty mirage
gloomy fern
#

unless ur actively trying

#

and the other run away from the boss at the same time

stoic needle
#

I'm 100% positive that it will sim higher

ill try to find where to put that also

huge if true

celest ruin
#

do you guys rupture skirmishers on slg?

#

they usually die too fast idk if a 4-5 sec rupture is worth it

stoic needle
#

One or two could be worth it for the energy return when they die

#

Yep, iqd is giga

What's the goal in mind when taking taking Elaborate Planning instead of Blindside in raid ?

compact pumice
dawn ivy
#

woah i was able to log into my ptr character for a tenth of a second

#

progress

plain thistle
#

thats always the goal

gusty mirage
#

EP provides more on demand damage than blindside which is why you see it used on sludge for example

steel geyser
#

Ikr, but what are the condition that make the one talent better than the other

plain thistle
#

and its better for more targets

gusty mirage
#

Yarp

steel geyser
#

It makes sens for sludge

plain thistle
#

and can even be better or super close if you are playing necrolord ( EP + vigor )

gusty mirage
#

Any multi target fights as well because you’ll be putting up ruptures/CT which activate EP

dawn ivy
#

does necro play vigor?

gusty mirage
#

Higher uptime

steel geyser
#

But I feel like Dena is mostly ST since adds are dying so fast I have barely the time do dot adds in P2 (not even motioning P1), so why EP

grave dock
#

or on real AOE when you're using mutilate less

stoic needle
#

Ep vigor is only 10 dps worse than bs/ds on 5min patchwerk for me

grave dock
#

like on SLG

stoic needle
#

As necrolord

compact pumice
#

BS/DS is usually mainly a big difference if you’re venthyr

steel geyser
#

EP Vigor is 44 dps loss for me for pw5min

#

as venthy

#

I'm trying to maximise my dmg output in P3 denathrius to make it easier to farm with mix of alts, idk what build to get tbh

#

Feels like Zoldyck is overrated

plain thistle
#

if you want p3 damage go blinside and zoldick, for execute damage

steel geyser
#

yea thats what I did but I'm not very satisfied of my dmg

fallen bone
#

What are other Vent Sin rogues doing to get high stacks on Flag? I am typically between 22-25 and try to get closer to the 30 max. Any advice is welcome.

plain thistle
#

22-25 is pretty normal, you cant get to 30 without lust and some luck

north basin
#

lust + lucky crits to get 4 cp per gcd

#

Zoldyck vs MA on mythic raiding?

compact pumice
steel geyser
#

yea

#

first vendetta is outside zoldyck window

#

I hate the BL on 2nd bloodprice

#

vendetta isnt up yet

cedar crater
#

I am thinking about switching to Sin from outlaw, im just worried about dmg in m+, any opinions?

gusty mirage
#

Give it a go, you may enjoy it. But outlaw’s a lot less effort to get damage out than assa in m+

ember nest
#

Lol its doing big dmg

compact pumice
#

How high keys are we talking?

gusty mirage
#

Similar numbers but a bit more effort involved for assa

cedar crater
#

ive been doing up to 13/14s

wintry stone
#

is you're playing DS, on your opener, do you envenom at 4 cp if you have like, MA chuggin along? or do you mutilate a second time for 6 before envenom

cedar crater
supple hawk
#

Guys is there a way to simcraft myself with https://www.wowhead.com/spell=198145/system-shock enabled to get info about how much it is better to spen 5 combo points on envenom instead of 4?

gusty mirage
#

That’s a pvp talent

compact pumice
# cedar crater ive been doing up to 13/14s

Then it doesn’t really matter tbh, the damage potential is very good for Sin and you’re not expected to keep gouge on cooldown nor get one shot by things that extra melee range would solve.

supple hawk
#

that is a pvp talend but it might be useful in outdoor content

willow isle
#

Any thoughts on new covenant legendaries?

north basin
#

in top 100 assa logs on denatrius only boss dps, only 3 zoldyks ). top zoldyk dps to boss on p3 was 6100. top dooomblade dps on p3 was 6700. not enuf data but still )

gusty mirage

bleak sky
#

have we talked about the new flag legendary?

compact pumice
gusty mirage
#

Assa requires a lot to get the damage rolling. You need ~5 bleeds up so you can actually not be energy starved. As opposed to pushing blade flurry

grave dock
#

yea, I think the floor is higher for outlaw, and it's easier

gusty mirage
#

And doing your ST rotation

grave dock
#

just saying that necro outlaws are doing a lot of things in keys

compact pumice
#

Necro adds the same for sin as for OL though

#

Just playing with our without MFD can be optimized

strange python
gusty mirage
stoic needle
#

It's bugged currently

gusty mirage
#

Idk if it’ll beat out doomblade though. They’re definitely interesting concepts and I’d like to see them viable

stoic needle
#

Deathspike gaming StonksUp

compact pumice
#

But MFD is not that crazy to optimize unless you can predict adds dying very accurately, and you will only gain very slightly more overall doing it. Well unless we talking spiteful then it’s a bit easier to snipe MFD

gusty mirage
#

SBS and mfd resets on spiteful are the only redeeming part of that shitty affix

north basin
#

btw when specced to CT we get envenom buffed by 15%? when garrote and rupture on target too?

stoic needle
#

Yes

fallen bone
#

@plain thistle Thank you.

dawn ivy

ct makes it 20%

25% with necrolord HYPERPOGGER

Join us

No one stanned Venthyr as hard as osh and I

stoic needle
#

Facts

gusty mirage
#

And we’ve seen the third arm stinky way as the true path

dawn ivy
#

im not entirely against swapping to necro, but the flag leggo seems pog

umbral berry
#

kinda does tbh ya

north basin
#

its like everypack in m+ u need to +3 bonespike casts on top of garrote/rupture/ct spam?

stoic needle
#

I'm calling it right now

#

Necro sin rogue with deathspike

#

Top damage on The Nine

#

In 9.1

#

Quote me

gusty mirage
#

I’m with you tbh

dawn ivy
#

well yeah

gusty mirage
#

Deathspike looks REALLY strong in m+

cobalt comet
#

Im so thorn between going necro and venthyr tbh

dawn ivy
#

we have to see how often you have to spread the bosses though

gusty mirage
#

They’re all close enough tbh

#

Except kyrian. Fuck those owls

stoic needle
#

Venthyr is the coolest looking

#

But sbs is the most fun button to press

cobalt comet
#

might go necro to switch outlaw in M+ and still be very strong in raid

north basin
#

we cant be bottom dps meter for 2 raids in a row. so i expect rogue back on top1-2 dps on solo targets in 9.1 raid

amber mountain
#

I'm finding I can get similar numbers as Venthyr 'Sin in M+ but it takes a bit more work and planning

#

and a tank that understands you need to restealth for optimal dps

stoic needle
#

Idk man

#

You don't lose much at all for not being able to restealth actually

#

And you can't come close to necro sin overall in keys

dark jewel
#

on 20+ keys u rarely gets restealths tho

stoic needle
#

You have more priority damage but your overall will be lower

amber mountain
#

Oh, i'm nowhere near 20+'s 😛

#

I'm not that guy

stoic needle
#

Zero restealths at all vs normal stealthing is only an 80 dps loss in dslice

cobalt comet
#

I love playing Sin and dont mind playing outlaw but the little quality of life and utility of outlaw will always win over dps in M+ imo...

#

raid is no brainer Sin though

stoic needle
#

It may technically be better but it's not enough for me to care

#

Sin is too much fun

amber mountain
#

I don't mind playing outlaw either

#

I just greatly prefer 'sin

stoic needle
#

I'm looking forward to never pressing fok again in a key KEKWW

gusty mirage
#

Maybe the empowered poisoned katar conduit gives us EB back

#

Then you’ll be sorry

#

I just want maim mangle to give us an extra CP from garrotes

amber mountain
#

wait... what did i miss

#

how do you escape hitting FoK in M+? It seems to always short me cp

dawn ivy
#

oh no not the empowered conduits

gusty mirage
#

Watch them be like mediocre increases to the current conduits so I can be mad for another tier

stoic needle
#

And it'll have 5 charges

#

Ergo the only reason you'd fok is to spread poison

#

Like this legendary is actually fucking insane

gusty mirage
#

Assa about to be stonks in m+

stoic needle
#

And it's even better for outlaw omegalul

gusty mirage
#

Iron wire is a tank’s wet dream

stoic needle
#

Who needs 40%+ crit when you just get 5cp every builder anyway kekw

gusty mirage
#

Tru

stoic needle
#

Legitimately having every mob in a pack ruptured

#

And the sbs dot scaling with mastery on all of them

gusty mirage
#

Energy for days

obtuse ruin
#

So if you pull 8 creeps you only need 16 globals to get them running 🙃

gusty mirage
#

Whispyr always shows up when I say something stupid omegalul it’s like clockwork

stoic needle
#

Not sure what your point is

amber mountain
#

Yeah, just looking over the rogue leggo's now, and it's almost enough to make me move covenants...

stoic needle
#

I wish the ptr was actually stable so I could run a key on the ptr

amber mountain
#

stability will come in the next few weeks... until they break it again

#

Master assassin is simming higher than subterfuge against two targets 🤔

stoic needle
#

That happens sometimes

quiet spruce
#

If I want to play assa for 2s and 3s and raid and outlaw for M+, is there a consensus on which covenant is perfect mix for that?

gusty mirage
#

Necro

#

Or fae

quiet spruce
#

Thanks for the quick answer. I see.

gusty mirage
#

Necro is bis for PvP for assa afaik, and bis for outlaw

#

And still good in raid esp w/ more than one target

quiet spruce
#

Ohhh why are some ppl saying venthyr?

#

Or is that for sub? I get confused. Still new

gusty mirage
#

Pretty sure venthyr is bis for sub pvp. But tbh I’m a mediocre pvper at best. The madlads in #pvp would be a better resource

quiet spruce
#

Ahh, no. This is what I needed. Thank you

gusty mirage
dawn ivy
#

the more i think about the necro leggo the more i think it might need to get nerfed

balmy condor
#

Yup

quartz kelp
#

does it use a charge for the extra hits or does it just make one charge have 3 hits

balmy condor
#

One charge 3 spikes

quartz kelp
#

and the extra spikes still grant you charges when the target dies?

balmy condor
#

Yes

dawn ivy
#

yeah jfc

quartz kelp
#

lmao

dawn ivy
#

thats getting nerfed man

quartz kelp
#

that is so busted

dawn ivy
#

that sounds hilarious

#

akaari's level non sense

balmy condor
#

It functions Just like 3 spikes

#

So 3 dots, 3 instant hits

gusty mirage
#

I see nothing wrong here peepomad

balmy condor
#

All 3 instant hits blade flurry on outlaw

#

They all seal fate if they crit

#

And grant cp

dawn ivy
#

lmfaooooooo

gusty mirage
#

CP for DAYS

quartz kelp
#

I can see them make the extra spikes not apply the dot

#

so u cant get infinite charges

gusty mirage
#

Just let us have this pepehands

balmy condor
#

You can’t throw out 1 charge and get 3 back

#

And then have 7

quartz kelp
#

oh i know

#

but you get to use spikes a lot more often in total

balmy condor
#

I actually don’t think it’s quite much more across a dungeon

#

You’ll get more in huge aoe

#

But you usually get spikes on pretty much everything

#

And snipe dying mobs anyway

quartz kelp
#

oh ye if you pull 3-5 mobs at a time it wont change much

stoic needle
#

no touchy deathspike peeporiot

balmy condor
#

I think the crazy part is the flurry damage

stoic needle
#

i think the initial damage is pretty powerful for both specs

balmy condor
#

Like we might live in a world where outlaw just throws out spikes and doesn’t care about overcapping

#

On some pulls

stoic needle
#

disgusting

balmy condor
#

The burst is ridiculous

stoic needle
#

i love it

#

im kinda new to rogue, but outside of blindside do we ever use ambush?

spice spire
#

No

balmy condor
#

Nope

lament canopy
#

New to Rogue too. Usually tank but was wondering if u could sap more than 1 mob at a time? Also if stealthed why wouldn’t u use ambush?

balmy condor
#

No

#

You can sap 1 at a time

#

The next sap breaks the current one

#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

lament canopy
#

Bummer

balmy condor
#

Is the reasoning for the ambush

lament canopy
#

Ahh kk ty

grave dock
#

few small things: your rupture dropped a few times, you were a bit late on shiv a few times, and you missed some blindside procs

sinful cradle
#

Pretty sure DS is the play when u play venthyr

grave dock
#

a few wasted CP on mut but not a ton

sinful cradle
#

on your opener you muti snd gar

grave dock
#

you also cast rupture on consecutive globals at one point

sinful cradle
#

should be muti snd muti gar

sinful cradle
grave dock
#

yea that makes sense, I couldn't figure out how that would work as assassination

#

your second flag was really bad

#

you went flag > delay on next global > mut > garrote > mut

sinful cradle
#

you also vanished into muti shiv

amber mountain
#

I get that in my parses when I have to move

sinful cradle
#

Wasting your ma window there also

grave dock
#

also if you're really trying to min max your parse on shriek

#

you have like 5 second gaps between globals which I assume is hiding LOS for the AOE mechanic

#

you don't need to go that early; you can move at the last second and really only one miss 1 global

#

maybe 2

amber mountain
#

but don't be that guy that stands there and eats the shriek

sinful cradle
#

You also had a huge gap where you didnt have SND up

grave dock
#

you didn't use a finisher until 7 seconds into your 3rd flag

sinful cradle
#

1 whole minute

grave dock
#

and like 4-5 seconds after pressing flag with no button at all

dawn ivy
#

is dauntless duelist still the go to when theres multiple targets like the nine?

grave dock
#

and you shived 2nd global on that vanish too

dawn ivy
#

2 target cleave with a third target in the final phase?

grave dock
#

garrote is also your last global on the fight

#

probably not worth applying when the boss is sub 1%

wary ice
#

So in fights like Huntsman where theres multi targets and one lives for the whole fight its still good

#

where as fights like Sunking where multi targets / the one you want the damage amp on isnt available at the start, its bad

#

IDK how the nine works but i mean you should be able to draw your own conclusions with that info

stoic needle
#

dauntless does get reapplied after the first target dies

grave dock
#

yes, it is not accurate that it is once per combat

#

it occasionally bugs out on some fights (council is a bit notorious for this) but generally speaking it reapplies correctly

you can use it to not get feared by krillin's destructo discs but you'll still drop a puddle i think

#

What do you guys think about the covenant legendaries? Venthyr looks strongest imo

balmy condor
#

thoughts are in the pins

#

venthyr is bugged to hell atm

#

so hard to tell what's up with that

#

but necro is crazy crazy crazy strong

neat frost
#

Uncertain
The versa is nice, and you get more flagellation, but flag already doesn't sync with vendetta/vanish

#

If you can get enough CDR on flag to get it down to 1 minute it could be back up for vendetta every other flag. That could be nice

#

I would recommend letting the guys do their theory rafting and dimming and discussions, and come back in a couple weeks before you do anything crazy like covenant swap for a leggo

kind talon
#

whats the venth leggo bug?

#

it reduces cd with or without flag was what i heard last but

kind talon
#

which is like

#

bonkers broken

tribal marlin
#

I'm not sure it's going to be a play, up until we can pair it with another leggo at least. But we'll see

#

oh yeah there is the versatility thing I forgot

kind talon
#

yeah

tribal marlin
#

if it's 30% versa then it may be very good tho

kind talon
#

its same versa as haste

#

in its current state you can get off like

#

3

tribal marlin
#

ok then I changed my statement

#

it's broken.

kind talon
#

for HD

#

with the BUG youd get lik

from what I'm seeing, venth lego is maybe between dusk and ttb

#

is that with the bug? @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

#

was the bug fixed ?

#

its not reasonable to assume the bug will make it to live

balmy condor
#

no

misty holly
misty holly
#

Nice

kind talon
#

whether the "spent combat points during flagellation" means

#

the 12 seconds

#

or the full 24

#

were you doing sims with the cdr during 12 or 24

balmy condor
#

No reason to believe it’s not the 12 seconds

#

None of the other effects are the 24

#

The other effects state “when flag ends”

#

The debuff drops

#

Like

#

I get wanting the 24 seconds

kind talon
#

the buff and the debuff are called Flagellation right

#

or no

balmy condor
#

But I don’t think it reasonable to assume it’ll work that way

kind talon
#

what is the buff called

#

You simmed it with the it working like flat does on live?

balmy condor
#

Yes

Like 24 second stats 12 seconds of cdr

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

That’s how it’s implemented in ptr sims and that’s what the spell data would imply

#

Like I said

#

There is no reason to assume it’s supposed to be cdr for all 24

kind talon
#

what is the buff called

#

im not venthyr so i cant check

balmy condor
#

Idk what the ptr names are

kind talon
#

like, the aura on your character

#

on live

gray fjord
#

Should still be Flagellation

balmy condor
#

Yeh

kind talon
#

ok so

#

the debuff is Flagellation

#

and the aura buff is Flagellation

#

so we can't tell which one the tooltip is referring to

balmy condor
#

Sure we can

#

Spell ID’s exist

kind talon
#

oh

#

yeah true

balmy condor
#

And also inference and logic exists

#

So for the third damned time now

gray fjord
balmy condor
#

There’s no reason why the cdr should be all 24

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

Even if it were all 24

#

It wouldn’t even matter

#

Because you’d sync it with vend anyways

#

So what’s the point

kind talon
#

because its the difference between an extra cast

#

and not an extra cast

#

of flag

#

between vendettas

balmy condor
#

It’s 1 minute in both situations

kind talon
#

but its not

balmy condor
#

Why does it matter if it’s 1:05 or it’s 50 seconds

#

You’re syncing every other

#

It’s the same amount of casts

balmy condor
#

We’re going into hypotheticals on top of hypotheticals, if things hypothetically hypotheticaled

#

This isn’t worth my time man

kind talon
#

its literally one difference

#

and im just wondering

balmy condor
#

Okay, let me reiterate

kind talon
#

how much better it would be

balmy condor
#

There is no reason why it’s 24

kind talon
#

with 24 seconds instead of 12

balmy condor
#

IF IT WERE the 24 seconds

kind talon
#

ik u say it doesnt matter

balmy condor
#

The cdr would sync

#

And you wouldn’t miss casts

kind talon
#

idk if its the difference of 25 seconds cdr vs 40

#

double uptime on the cdr buff would make it atleast 50

#

which would potentially let you get 2 casts in between vendetta

#

if flag had 40 second cd

fathom swift
#

yeah i also read it as only during the debuff

#

not the resulting buff afterwards

dawn ivy
#

you would never be getting enough cdr to be able to cast flag twice between vendetta

kind talon
#

lust pi etc

dawn ivy
#

no

balmy condor
#

You’re getting about 35-40 seconds atm on ptr

fathom swift
#

but probably not good enough unless you can consistently get 1 min flag cds

balmy condor
#

And that’s with the bug

fathom swift
#

which it doesnt seem to be atm in sims

balmy condor
#

Yeah

kind talon
#

is the bug reducing cdr after the buff on your character expires

#

like at all times?

balmy condor
#

All finishers reduce

whole mason
gray fjord
#

The CDR is applied even when flagellation isn't active

#

Yeah, it's literally constant, pretty nuts.

balmy condor
kind talon
#

i see

whole mason
#

what?

kind talon
#

and is that without lust pi

whole mason
#

how come

balmy condor
#

The legendary is bugged

kind talon
#

what is it with lust or pi

whole mason
#

ahh, i see

balmy condor
#

And all finishers reduce the cdr

whole mason
#

40sec would be something interesting

balmy condor
#

It would be

whole mason
#

not realistic tho

balmy condor
#

But the legendary would need to be like 4x stronger

tribal marlin
#

What matter is the versa buff and it is not working atm

balmy condor
#

In order for that to happen

whole mason
#

40sec means it can even pair with euphoria

dawn ivy
#

the vers is working

fathom swift
#

none of them seem exciting st but i didnt check aoe for stuff like necro

gray fjord
#

The vers buff falls off as soon as the initial 12 seconds of Flagellation are over, and that should most likely last the full 24 since it's tied/paired with the haste buff stacks

vale marten
#

if flag will be 1 min then duskwalker becmoes more appealing aswel

fathom swift
vale marten
#

maybe not bis, but better for sure

whole mason
#

no 2 leggo

vale marten
#

i meant instead of doom

dawn ivy
#

.

#

LOL

fathom swift
#

how you getting flag to 1 min without the covenant legendary

whole mason
#

unless you mean buff flag to 1min flat?

vale marten
#

ah right its the cov

kind talon
#

@balmy condor sorry for bugging u when the legendary is still bugged to hell

vale marten
#

damn, there go my hopes

whole mason
#

duskwalker should be implemented as a talent imo.

balmy condor
kind talon
#

yeah i understand that

balmy condor
#

and having long discussions where I just repeat myself

kind talon
#

sorry to add to it

balmy condor
#

over and over and over

kind talon
#

100%

balmy condor
#

is just a waste of time

gray fjord
#

But Whyspir

fathom swift
#

welcome to class discords

stoic needle
#

if anything zoldyck should be the talent

tribal marlin
#

ok my char was just bugg now it work

kind talon
#

the vers?

tribal marlin
#

12sec

kind talon
#

LOL

tribal marlin
#

probably not intended this way thoi

kind talon
#

this leggo man

#

everything about it is fucked LMFAO

gray fjord
#

At least it isn't the Sepsis leggo

#

Dead in the water

kind talon
#

okay but imagine

#

30-45 sec cd on flag

#

im assuming unlusted / no pi

#

best pi target peepoyes

balmy condor
#

that would require the cdr portion to be like 2-2.5 seconds

kind talon
#

if it was any good 😦

#

i cant wait till they fix it!

#

actually so excited for it

tribal marlin
#

the cdr portion is pointless tbh

stoic needle
#

hi miki!

tribal marlin
#

you'll sync with vendetta anyway

kind talon
#

no

#

its not pointless

#

its a difference of # of flags between vendettas

#

1 2 or 3

#

potentially

fathom swift
#

not pointless if you dont even get it down to 1 min

balmy condor
#

@kind talon I am a lying man

#

the fucking sin APL nonsense that I fought to not get implemented is fucking everything over

kind talon
#

which means?

balmy condor
#

that stupid fucking sync logic

#

with the flag/vend

kind talon
#

OMG

#

NO

balmy condor
#

is forcing it to 1:30

kind talon
#

DONT TELL ME

tribal marlin
#

But ideally you want to sync it with Fatal Flaw buff which is up every 90sec exactly

kind talon
#

ITS NOT CASTING

#

BAHAHAHAHHAHA

balmy condor
#

god I fucking hate that shit

kind talon
#

i knew it

#

:)

stoic needle
#

so that means the venthyr legendary is slightly better?

kind talon
#

no

#

sim isnt done

balmy condor
#

yeah I have to resim without all the flag/vend syncing bullshit

fathom swift
#

it wasnt doing that when i was simming it, it was casting it much more frequently than 1.30

kind talon
#

we wait for great leader whispyr to show us the way

balmy condor
#

WHICH THE APL SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO BEGIN WITH

#

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

WE HAVE TO ADD JANK NONSENSE

tribal marlin
#

so if the Leggo drop Flag 12sec down, I can bet you that it'll be more efficient to still cast it every 90sec (delaying 3rd vendetta to 270s marker to sync)

kind talon
kind talon
stoic needle
#

honestly I'm glad that I'm not venthyr anymore just so i don't have to worry about syncing flag

kind talon
#

you're casting 2 envenoms

#

during flag?

stoic needle
#

me bone spike zug zug

kind talon
#

@balmy condor ye again sorry for bugging u but as soon as i saw the venth leggo compared to ttb

#

i was shooketh

balmy condor
#

ttb is actually not awful

strange python
#

whispyr do you know if koji/mystler are aware of the flag legendary's behavior on the ptr before they implement it in sims?

tribal marlin
#

if flag go down to 1:10 it will sync with Euphoria that's good

strange python
#

not apl

kind talon
#

but from what whispyr said

#

they are simming it assuming that

#

the vers lasts all 24 seconds

#

and the cdr is only during the first 12 seconds

#

as opposed to all the time

balmy condor
strange python
#

me too

balmy condor
#

I think they just ignored the bug

kind talon
#

nvm ignore me

gloomy rose
#

does EP damage buff apply to the finisher itself?

balmy condor
#

cause it's clearly unintended

#

the cdr works as expected in sims

tribal marlin
#

basically we could get ~20% versa ramping up with the 20% haste from Euphoria, then 20% crit from Fatal thing + the haste buff from flag

kind talon
#

the cdr or the vers bug

tribal marlin
#

that's good

kind talon
#

is the vers working in sims too?

#

or is it at 12 seconds

gray fjord
tribal marlin
#

no because your versa buff will mostly fade before Fatal Flaws trigger

#

but in the other case well

#

yeah it'll give versa

kind talon
#

what is fatal flaws

tribal marlin
#

new broken Nadjia soulbind

solid chasm
#

new souldbind

kind talon
#

oh shit

#

wait

tribal marlin
#

basically give 20% crit or Versa for 10sec every 90sec

kind talon
#

we using iqd now right?

gray fjord
#

Hm yeah, possibly then, it is plausible it could give either then. I forgot it was based off Euphoria not Flag

kind talon
#

if we are getting so much more flag cdr

tribal marlin
#

Flag CDR will be fixed

#

I mean, don't plan ahead it being in its current state

kind talon
#

ye

#

so avg 1 minute can be assumed

tribal marlin
#

I know we like to be broken, but Assa is already god damn toping metters rn

kind talon
#

which is almost double the casts

tribal marlin
#

no need for more OPness

kind talon
#

right

#

so we could use 1 min trinket

solid chasm
#

heh opness

kind talon
#

or different trinket thats hasted like sludge

whole mason
#

how good is the expected version compared to doomblade?

kind talon
#

whispyr doing sims rn @whole mason

gray fjord
#

If other classes can have legendaries that are 12% DPS gains, I don't see why rogue can't. 😉

kind talon
#

or at least

#

the sims are gonna be fixed so we dont know yet

#

how much %gain is doomblades

whole mason
#

That's great

kind talon
#

nvm ill check bloodmallet lol

sinful cradle
#

Man imagine if we can equip 2 legos, venthyr one + vendetta cdr

Tons of love for @balmy condor

feelsloveman @balmy condor

gusty mirage
#

Whispyr bullies me peepomad

tribal marlin
#

The CDR thingy kinda sucks, would be awesome if it would rather reduce Vendetta CD xD

#

so that everything line up : Flag / Vend and Fatal Flaws

kind talon
#

it really depends

balmy condor
#

flag is looking like roughly 70 seconds

#

btw

#

just popping in between sims

kind talon
#

whispyr is that lusted or pi

#

or no

balmy condor
#

baseline BiS gear

kind talon
#

no lust?

balmy condor
#

lust included

tribal marlin
#

70sec CD is not good

kind talon
#

im interested in seeing what the cdr is

#

with pi and lust included

tribal marlin
#

it sucks really

whole mason
#

I think that is the average interv

kind talon
#

yes

#

i know

balmy condor
#

if you get a PI during the lust, you'll probably get it to like 65

#

but from 70 to 60 is a large leap

kind talon
#

oh

#

its 70 seconds avg WITH lust?

tribal marlin
#

Encounters are designed around flat 2mn or 3mn CD usually

whole mason
#

70 means 20stacks right?

kind talon
#

no

#

25

#

w lashing

whole mason
#

ahh

#

I see

kind talon
#

yep

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

you'd need 2 full finishers

#

to get to 60

tribal marlin
#

having 70sec CD is like you'll be off timing most of the time and it definitely sucks. 95% of the time you'll have to delay that shit and the CDR will be useless

kind talon
#

what are we hitting on live

#

with pi

balmy condor
#

PI isn't affecting stacks

kind talon
#

30 stacks ever?

balmy condor
#

30 stacks is very very very hard to hit

kind talon
#

wtf assa rogue gcd is not hasted?

whole mason
#

gcds are locked

balmy condor
#

you need to MFD and shit

balmy condor
kind talon
#

LOL

balmy condor
#

haste doesn't do anything

kind talon
#

im a failure

#

so haste only effects energy gen

whole mason
#

Need the power of MfD then.

kind talon
#

got it

balmy condor
tribal marlin
#

at best you do 4 finisher maybe

kind talon
#

yes

#

dot ticks = energy gen

balmy condor
#

but yeah

#

getting 2 more finishers in

kind talon
#

but yeah im talking in terms of

balmy condor
#

compared to live

kind talon
#

finishers

balmy condor
#

is gonna be kinda brutal

kind talon
#

but whispyr

#

youd need to get

#

a 60 second flag AGAIN

balmy condor
#

yeah

kind talon
#

to sync

balmy condor
#

it's very unlikely

#

that's part of the reason why it's just not good

kind talon
#

so leggo will not be good unless

#

its not the 12 seconds

whole mason
#

I need to read the description again.

kind talon
#

well, the vers buff is still pretty big tho

tribal marlin
#

the versa buff is very good yeah

#

might not be top simming

#

but definitely something you like in real encounter

kind talon
#

i still dont know if the sims are using 24 second or 12 second

#

vers

whole mason
#

Is there any clarification about 12 or 24 sec from blizzard?

kind talon
#

its been out for a day

#

wait a bit

#

next patch

tribal marlin
#

bro idk like litterally 2 hours ago it wasn't even working for me (the versa buff)

#

and now it work but it's only 12sec

#

and seems like on spell data it was 24sec when first implemented so

kind talon
#

i mean ye idk

#

for 12 seconds its like

#

a scaling versa buff that does nothing

#

if its 24 its way better

#

like night and day

tribal marlin
#

they should remove the CDR part and make it 24sec

#

imo

kind talon
#

nah

#

leggo wouldnt be good unless it all lines up

stoic needle
#

have you considered whether it might be better with the bis gear set from the next patch

#

259 ilvl stat budgets

#

could give us more crit and haste to get those last 2 finishers in

dawn ivy
#

we wont be getting THAT many secondaries

stoic needle
#

idk man

#

have you looked at the 259 gear

solid chasm
#

say it osho

stoic needle
#

there's literally a 5% crit ring

solid chasm
#

say the word

#

s...

spice spire
#

Don’t you dare say it

#

Don’t succumb to the dark side

stoic needle
solid chasm
#

he wants to say it

tribal marlin
#

doesn't change the fact that 70sec cooldown will be off timing 95% of time

stoic needle
#

well what if it's not 70s in t28 gear

#

that's my point

solid chasm
#

sc...

spice spire
#

Where’s the mastery ring tinfoil_pepe

kind talon
#

sca

tribal marlin
#

you'll get 24sec at best

#

I mean

kind talon
#

24sec of what

#

miki

tribal marlin
#

cdr

#

you get 4 finisher at best

kind talon
#

ye

#

tru

#

again this is assuming 12 sec window for cdr

balmy condor
#

this meme brought to you by the "I'll beat yo bitch ass" gang

tribal marlin
#

but even 66sec CD it's off timing

kind talon
#

yeah but

tribal marlin
#

and you will not have that 24sec of CDR every single time

solid chasm
#

lmao that meme

kind talon
#

ye idk

#

would depend on the bugs getting fixed

#

and what blizz decides to do with the leggo

spice spire
#

But also beat me up papi prayge

dawn ivy
#

i assume theyre going to update the vers to be 24 seconds, and update the cdr to only be 12

#

thats what the wording SOUNDS like its supposed to be

whole mason
#

Unless clarified by blizzard, I think there is still hope for 24sec for cdr.

kind talon
#

^

#

my thoughts exactly

#

but id lean towards 12 sec still

#

only issue is that if its 12 sec

#

its probably not better

dawn ivy
#

the wording is a bit specific for it to bend like that

gusty mirage
whole mason
spice spire
#

Jokes on him, that’s my kink.

#

I mean

kind talon
#

again

#

is "Flagellation"

#

the 24 second buff

#

or the 12 second debuff

#

they have the same name

whole mason
#

debuff?

kind talon
#

the application to the enemy

#

that stacks

#

for 12 seconds

tribal marlin
#

both effect should last 24sec

#

or at least the versa buff

#

tbh

kind talon
#

the vers buff obviously will

#

the cdr idk

#

but if it does last 24 seconds

#

then it will line up

tribal marlin
#

would be nice

whole mason
#

for my humble understanding of English, if they're talking debuff, they wouldn't use ``active", but "applied".

wooden knot
#

and usually debuff-based buffs mention that its only on that target, eg vendetta

tribal marlin
#

A wise man said "Do not trust tooltips"

I know its early, but are any of the covenant legos looking viable over the existing choices?

you can only implement abilities in sims by looking at spell data and doing your best to replicate the behaviour in game

i wouldnt advise anyone to try to figure out how an ability is supposed to work by looking it up in simc code either

If that is the case, then we can only wait for bliz to fix the bug

Hey,

I need to be sure for P3 denathrius :

  1. Cloak does prevent from being kb by Shattering Pain ?
  2. Cloak prevents from being hit from massacre ?

Both are shadow damage so I assume it would work but I don't really wanna test it myself and i'm currently using cloak to help healers on blood price

did you sim it whispyr

#

tell us the secret sauce

or just me

stoic needle
#

scroll up there is no secret sauce

balmy condor
#

I did sim it

whole mason
#

The only thing cloak does is preventing damage from kb but not kb

balmy condor
#

there's nothing secret about it

#

it's just not good

steel geyser
#

I'm currently shadowsteping on DK during the bad combo of massacre+shattering pain of P3, how do you guys do

whole mason

and more importantly the dmg from red surface

gloomy knoll
#

really?

gloomy knoll
#

sadge

gloomy knoll
#

i cloak shadowstep dk

#

walk back into ravage

then go to my seeds

whole mason
#

if you trust your DK, you can do that, but remember shadowstep locate you a position behind the DK

balmy condor
# gloomy knoll sadge

the cdr is 70 seconds, so you get weird sync's, the vers is okay I guess, but that's the most you'll gain from it

to walk back into the ravag

my dk is usually like right in the middle of the room

my dks usually walk into the old ravage so i cloak before i step them but yeah

I walk onto the red and run for a distance for kb

not being able to get flag to 60 seconds

would fuck it up

prisma monolithBOT

In general simming yourself is the recommended way to determine stat weights.
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simulation.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

odd hazel
# wraith vault !stats

im at 215 and my stats ( sim wise ) are crit > haste > Vers > mastery. Haste is like, 2 ahead of vers. prob will jump ahead with a better weap ( With haste on it, sad face having two crit mastery weaps )

#

our stats are pretty fluid

#

st vs aoe, talents, legendaries, covenant can all shift them around

haste is better on non venthyr
