I blame whoever told him to post it there in outlaw tbh
Maybe it's a gear difference, but when I sim on my friend's Rogue, Doomblade sims about 100 DPS higher than Dashing
Do you have to play Master Poisoner for Dashing?
No MP sucks outside of pvp
No you never run master poisoner
Hmm
The gap between the two gets smaller with better gear iirc
Ah okay
The pins have them very close
Is the reason to open with Mutilate out of stealth just the combo points?
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.
kk ty
Imagine not
out of stealth 
but for the poison application isn't it just always 100% 🤔
or is that command for all specs
You get a 100% chance to apply poison, but I'm 99% sure that's just with one hand. mut has a chance for an extra proc for more damage
mut hits twice
Or maybe they both proc
ah yea forgot the extra damage you get from applying poison to a target with poison makes sense
@balmy condor so uhm when sims have +- 20% fight duration, the robot knows the fight duration from the start or how does it work? if its 4min + venthyr hes gonna always allign vendetta+flag at 3~ ish?
yep
thought so just wanted to make sure 

anyone talent ST for tyrannical weeks?
no
swagger
is zoldyck a must for any mythic progress or just sire?
zoldyck isn't a must for anything
why do we even take poison bomb
it's nice for slg prog and denny prog but you don't need it
so prob better to upgrade doom to 235 than craft a 190 zold?
for raid mythic prog
(5/10)
if you're 5/10 i'd finish your doom first yea
cause it's passive
Because running ct makes you envenom less
That's probably more damage than PB itself 
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/VKhNGvLbYyXxDkJa/#fight=last&type=damage-done
all the tips to parse in sire hc and still did shitty
any big fuckup anyone can spot?
No monk!
Change your name
I understand you cant stand to not having used that perfect name before
You have 3 bm hunters
and ur trying to make me change it so u can copy
Your raid dps is abysmal and your kill time is long
well longer kill time doesnt necessarily means lower dps
if it fits in another vendetta window
You're using oil and phantom fire pots instead of agi
Well your kill time is 7min
Which is bad
I used vendetta at 6:25
the latest one
I think one big fuckup was using vendetta on a crimson
No?
I mean overall ur just not going to parse when 3 members of your raid are doing tank level dps
Not true
Also I think you missed a shiv towards the end
Osh
this whole concept of longer kill time = lower dps isn't always true. It believe on the class and the damage profile
I parses on a 10 minute hc slg kill
It's also not untrue either
If you are a class that has a huge amount of burst on pull and not later, faster is the kill higher is the parse
The highest sire parses are like 5 mins
An 88 is not a very good parse(it's not bad either), I'm talking about 95+
assa dps will spike back during vendetta, so if you kill during that burst, your dps will be higher = better parse
Bc my latest vendetta was at 6:30 and it was a 7 min kill, the kill time isnt so bad
Sec lemme check something
I dont think time affected my parse a lot there imo, or if it does I don't see how
You'd want it to be at 8:00+ for you to get another vendetta
Oh yeah
2 garrotes
You want to constantly keep her dotted
This is definitely fucking you bro
I see
Idk how you guys do sire, but the way we were doing I was struggling to keep bleeds on that
CT to refresh
do u pre-pot on sludge mythic?
Do they not tank sire and remornia right next to eachother?
i mean all the raid
So when you get down just immediately work on dotting up sire and remornia
we are wiping on about 1%
Yes you prepot on sludge
Sludgefist is about people not dying before the last pillar
On all dps check bosses there’s no reason not to prepot
That's why you're wiping
I thought you can’t prepot any more?
there werent a lot of moments where they were stacked
but def I could have done better
Osh he’s wiping at 1% with people not potting that could make the difference
No
Doesn’t matter, you can shadow step remornia to apply dota
People not dying is what makes the difference
They should always be next to eachother except when remornia is doing impale
would u like to have gar / rup 100% uptime on remornia?
That's a tank issue
Yes
the reason we dont pre-pot is the alignment of the pot and last pillar
Garrote less important
donno if it can compensate the 2 pot dmg
You prepot with lust
wtf are you talking about gwookey
You can't get 100% on remornia because she runs away to cast massacre and you should be running when she does impale
please stop
I had 15% rup and 10% garrote on remornia
Isn’t that just potting? Why are you calling it prepot?
Wdym ryler?
man stop giving advice about fights you have no clue about
how you gonna put with lust if you are prepotting
Ah true
its still on cd
Sludgefist kills are around 5:30 or so
Sorry I’m tired but you want to pot with lust tho

Yeah bro ty
Really helpful
Give some advice next time
well not my fault you can comprehend what a 5min cd is
Hey guys, im new to rogue just hit 60 actually, what would you recommend the best starting level 60 spec is? hes my alt so he wont be raiding too much, but will be raiding as well as m+
Difference in quality of being
honestly start with what u want to master asap
Best stats for AoE are crit/mastery correct?
all of them require time so it's good u start with the one ur most interested based on the content u wanna do
You have no grounds with which to speak @drifting cloud unless you’re also giving advice / helping
bro just take your adhd pills and stop posting 300 times a day
4th pillar and lust is around 4:15 so you should probably just save pot until then. Pot on pull and pot outside of lust after the 4th pillar will be less effective overall
Just focus on making sure everyone is alive at the 4th pillar
If someone dies before then just wipe
Good comeback dude
So if I am most interested in m+, should I play outlaw?
Assassination is fine in m+ but it's a little harder to play
Yes definitely
It’s possibly a good choice, but everyone in this channel is going to tell you assassination works in M+
ofc if u like it. until you dont reach 19+ now, u can finish them w/ any spec
Both specs work, you can test them out and see which you prefer!
if youre serious about m+ you should play outlaw
^ this
but if ur starting now, I'd argue ur not super competitive about m+
btw I looked at orange parses on sire hc, and they have ~25% uptime on remornia w/ garrote and rupture
idk how 100% is viable
It will be easier to get accepted in groups. You might have a few groups who expected you to be outlaw, but it’s not as bad as like being feral Druid when they expected a boomkin.
is Venthyr outlaw playable? xD
I'd argue better going for necro bc assa necro > venthyr outlaw
ok, whats a good benchmark to have?
Well that also counts phase 3 where remornia can't be dotted
Yes. I mean NL is a lot better in AOE but it’s not like you’re bad. Flag is more of a ST cooldown, so it helps on prides and whatnot
And phase one @stoic needle
True, when I filtered out is ~58%
for orange parses
You need to get your tanks to position them properly, not letting people cleave is a dps loss for sure
With all the impales and ravage remornia is unreachable you reup dots a lot so not surprising
I try to dot her right before ravage and impale
do you rup/gar the crimson too?
Yeah
tf is going in here, why are people being toxic
Well this is the poison spec channel 
someone asked if u prepot sludge

and i pepega brained and said yes
because ppl in my guild say battle pot / prepot synonymously in my guild
so ur able to gar/rupture all the 2 melee adds?

usually if I gar one, the time I have gar back, the other one is almost dead
They usually die very fast, I just put low cp ruptures on them
and does not have ~12 TTD for sure
Like 2-3 cp
thats something I feel I dont understand yet
when it's worth 2-3 rup
instead of 4-5 env 2x
its a 7min kill 41 and you have a 190 lego
alot of assa parsing is gear aswell
and how long youre staying in p1
Usually it's not worth envenoming an add unless it's going to live a long time, a rupture is more damage per energy and gives you energy back
Like look at the tooltips for rupture and envenom and compare the damage
Envenom is kind of a noodle unless you're a chad mastery stacker
If you’re spending CP to envenom with Doomblade you better make sure the target has max bleeds!
And rup still does more
@silent stratus way id play p2 is maintain all bleeds on sire, as many as u can on remornia
Way better to hit the boss with env than a cabalist
crimson tempest and LOW cp ruptures on cabalist
no gar on cabalist?
I mean 2.5k for 5cp env
is kinda low compared to 4.4k of gar
You can garotte the farther one yeah
but low cp rupture is more important
Especially since it gives some energy
It just puts it on CD, but if both remornia and boss has >6 sec garrote on them by all means garrote one
Well for sire hc
when all 4 are stacked just use CT
You should pool 5cp as you're standing next to sire in the intermission
And then as you fall down, tricks of the trade and gar+rup remornia
yep with knife
Then sprint over to sire, if you are using subterfuge, vanish and garotte everything
u can hit remornia as u fall down???
No like immediately as you hit the ground
fuck pooling to 5 cp
You use subterfuge?
Maintain alacrity
If you aren't using subterfuge, vanish and fok > rupture sire and then fok> ct
And put ruptures on the adds
There's 4 targets
and then vanish fok fok ct
So you fok
ye but as the tanks are taking sire over
you can garrote rupture remornia as soon as u get down
then shadowstep sire mut mut rupture
ah
wait
hes necro
sbs garrote rupture
Oh yeah he is necro
You'd probably want to sbs rupture the adds instead of fok so you get resets
Save that until you get the bleeds up
probably I will never fok except p1 if Im necro
So you'd garotte sbs rupture on remornia when you land. Run over and sbs rup both adds, vanish into fok > rupture and ct and envs on sire
If you have MA it's still worth it to fok from vanish with 4t
true
Each sbs will be more than that because you have sbs on sire and remornia at that point
First will be 3+ and the 2nd will be 4+
you should have like
2 sbs charges going into p2
one goes remornia
the other goes cabalist which is not blown up
unless u get one charge back during intermission but thats dependant on groups right
p1 timings change with dps
so during p1 I would never use sbs except on opener and vanish?
you always use sbs to avoid overcapping charges
if you dont do pvp-- do you just go for 2 haste/vers weapons? or do you want one crit mastery weap?
just got the haste/vers weap from mists. wondeirng if i should get another one or just keep my crit/mastery one
the haste/verse one is in my bags but i currently have on 2 crit/mastery weaps on.
( look, i ran mists like 40 times. )
depends if you need valor for something else I guess
is it possible to get the slime mount from HC plaguefall as a Sin Rogue?
yes but you need alot of gear or just get a friend to kill spider for you
ep vigor vs blindside deeper strats on shriekwing?
if execute doesnt matter the difference is pretty small
Does elaborate planning not have pandemic mechanic?
nop
Can someone please analyse mythic inerva log for me https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/frostmourne/knockemstiff#boss=2406
Got grey parse, problem is I don’t think I did something wrong , meaning I need intervention lol
We already gave you advice on that log man lol
ah mb
Ct is kinda padding as well
25k add dmg 
i went poison bomb
js
if hes playing EP vigor
he might as well go CT
depends on how many adds he skips
why does EP vigor make CT better?
it doesnt
vigor makes ep better
anyways
ill retract my statements about CT over PB
p sure if hes not gonna damage adds he might as well go blindside
js
!guides
well he should be dotting the adds because the energy increases his priority damage to the boss
yes
which also makes EP more valuable
yeah lol
ct isn't really padding though
Depends on the kill times for the adds imo
But it’s true that as assa your job should be st damage on inerva imo
if you are focusing the adds or rather the big add then you are probably doing it wrong
No one is focusing the adds
as in 'your raid focusing the add' it should die just form cleave
The log we were looking at has like 2 ruptures total cast on adds
Yeah I agree but there is varying levels of cleave for different comps
it's padding because those adds should die regardless
Not really, the adds dying faster is only good
yes but you're sacrificing boss damage to do that
Like, my raid has had past issues where the harnessed specter stayed up into the next set
are you though
let the actual aoe classes handle those adds and pump the boss
If that was a constant issue then I would have gone CT
doesn't seem like padding really, since it actually does something for st as well
doing the sim rn
sacrificing ST to do more AOE damage to adds that will die anyway regardless of whether you CT them or not = padding
hard to say if that's the case in his situation
if you really need CT to make sure all the adds die you have bigger problems
such as: why are your hunters afk
we had only one, but still
CT isnt that much less ST dmg
It's not a loss at all if you're zoldyck
esp if running doomblades
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
u dont run zoldyck for inerva tho
Oh I thought we were talking sire for some reason
nah its inerva
ye ofc it is
I'd call -100 a lot
pure st
yes
on inerva when you have windows with multiple garrotes up pumping more and more envenoms into prio target with the energy u get
the extra bleed is not that much of a dps loss compared to pb
and CT inc ur add dmg so
they are comparable talents
and if hes struggling with add damage as he is then maybe he should just go CT was what i was trying to say anyways
but obviously mans needs to press rupture garrote idk what hes doing there
Hey guys - is Zoldiks still best for m+ for Assa?
Idk every sim I'm running the loss is just as significant on a cleave add
yes
Over doom blade?
definitely in m+
should only really consider doomblade for ToP
and even then, questionable
whisp have you just out of curiosity simmed anything in ptr for outlaw?
Is it worth crafting another leggi for raiding on assa then?
Damn that is hefty
Compared to signet on my warrior for all specs 😂
there's a lot of viable options
HEY I LIKE IT OK, ONLY DO M+ LIKE THIS
Would doom be a more universal option to take? That would cover raid / M+
I would not play doomblade in any m+ environment
zold/ma
I'm like 90% sure I have a pin on that as well
cause I'm a baller
Interesting,
Due to mobs dying fast?
i tried to play a little with MA and it doesnt look like it's that good
No, due to not having a majority of pulls being less than 4
MA is quite good idk what you're doing wrong
I run MA in most of my keys for fun
on council it is worth maintaining rup/garrote on one of the other bosses u arent actively killing right?
and it does pretty much the same damage
up to 5 bleeds
as an outlaw?
total
huh
like wait, what do u mean up to 5 bleeds? l

Bleeds on 5 targets
you bleed until you have 5 bleeds up
i must be doing my opener wrong when using MA then
that's the highest prio damage
How long is it going to take me to craft 2 leggo’s to 235
Yeah
Hefty
Roughly
oooooooooooh ok i gotcha so itd be like...... garrote on 2 of them and ruptur on all 3 type shit? for highest prio dmg on the oen we killing?
yes
damn dude, 190 daggers are cheap at this point
Got 200 wep token from first raid boss today lol
for council it's actually garrote+rupture on the boss you're killing and the next closest one, and then another garotte on an add or something
don't run around tryin to dot all 3 bosses you're going to just lose uptime that way
4 bleeds + near 100% uptime > 5 bleeds + lost uptime
ok thank you
Just to check, doom still best ST?
should i open with FoK>CT>FoK>apply dots? in M+ with Ma
imo you should run NS+MFD and MFD+CT out of stealth and then fok > rup >fok > rup. but without MFD NS yes that's the way
If he's running MA and not taking NS shouldn't he be subt
And therefore not opening like that
yeah you're right
Yep, that's why im asking, cuz i was playing with subt and opening with garrote in everyone
with subt you still 3x garrote even with ma
that does not seem optimal with MA
but it is
It is
really?
yeah
your garottes, poison and autos are critting for the ma window
it doesn't snapshot like NS though
so it's only for the 4s
yeah it is a lot of fun
it's not really the lack of the damage from subterfuge, but rather how slow it makes our damage+energy ramp up without getting up 3 garottes at the beginning of every pack
Garrote 1 garrote 2 garrote 3 rupture 4 vendetta exsanguinate then you're gonna fok fok rupture again you're gonna vanish reapply garrotes, especially on the target you dont have and that's it, you're gonna ct, crimson tempest. Look at my damage right now fucking 40k dude it's fucking over how the fuck let's go
Never gets old
i'm sorry but you have to have a zoldycks and play sin in M+ to be able to use that copypasta
i don't make the rules
I have no soul ash sorry osh
one thing i struggle with sin in m+ is the lack of DR
so i never know when to use vanish/vendetta
Oh btw osh
if I can get into a key am I allowed to use the copypasta?
Just vibe it out mis - that’s all you gotta do
Big reason why sin isn’t as good is misdirect
anyone got a good bonespike WA?
you play it exactly the same as outlaw, just send that shit on CD
dont hold it
wut
Check outlaw pins
Guess you’re never using the copy pasta 
Outlaw MD way better
they're exactly the same ability
Start of pack aggro is way stronger with tricks on pull
Yeah but garrote on 3 targets vs bladeflurry hitting everything in the pack osh
I see but also 
yeah that literally doesnt matter at all dude
i never have aggro issues in keys and i press tricks on cd
It’s not ur aggro that’s the issue
It’s just to supplement aggro - you’re not creating it for the tank lmao.
If they tank correctly it should really never be an issue
there's several reasons why outlaw is better than sin in m+ but tricks is not one
^
if it were that big of an issue you could just wait to tricks until you have everything dotted
and do even more threat than outlaw
Which means you have to wait until everything is dotted
Specifically for fury warrior and fire mage aggro is a big issue when opening on a pack
Tricks the warrior to have pack live longer for more dps
Ye my NF fury warrior regularily pulls aggy on packs


Do u play sin or ol?
Sin
?
Earlier I was talking about how outlaw rogue tricks is more impactful
For opening pulls
Compared to assa tricks

?
Oh no he’s been awoken 
someone activated whispyr
O Icy

we're gonna have a "Rupture is better than SnD" all over again
but rupture deals dmg slice doesnt so it must be better 
Idk what’s so bad about what I said
cuz it just doesn't matter
like
no one is gonna say "yeah sorry i want this outlaw rogue over the assassination rogue because they do slightly more redirected threat with tricfks"
IA: that.
B. It’s so easy to yoink aggro back from the initial oh FUCK of warriors and mages
C. Unsure why this is a sticking point lol
@balmy condor would you say MA is a more neutral Lego over voldiks ?
Or is it just worth crafting two leggos
I mean it works with all specs, so that's more neutral
just make zoldycks
you dont really need MA for anything
it's not bis for anything
Gunna have to@just the grind of doing two hurts my brain
Yeah only make MA if you're gonna play multiple specs in keys
Otherwise doesn't make much sense
Okay thanks man
and on the tricks thing, the idea that you'll even notice the difference in tricks between the two specs
is kinda laughable
Kinda my vibe as I enjoy oly and assa
It's not like mm vs bm
Where most of your dmg just doesn't gen threat
For the misdirect
All the dmg is still there
I understand where you’re coming from, but when one spec puts 3 dots on 3 targets at the start of a pull vs hitting all 5
Esp with MA
It’s not a huge thing
But it exists lmfao
it exists but nobody cares about it
I do but that’s prob just cause I play fury
you're unlikely to be playing with a fury in a key anyway
Amount of times I’ll pull aggro / die to aggro is thru the roof
Then again you'll hit 8 mobs with CT so it might even be better with tricks for a large pack
But yeah fair enough
Depends on how delayed the CT is
Tricks is most impactful on opening of a pull
Ur not gonna pull aggro 10 sec into a pull
But then the mage is combusting 10 seconds into the pull
But a rogue who optimises his tricks is focusing on the wrong things to improve IMO
True
Haven't had time to watch or read about PTR stuff, is venthyr assassination with doomblade still looking really solid or is necrolord gonna be the BIS?
It's only PTR and it's not final yet but Necro looks pretty good at it's current state, ngl
I second this, even letting tank take aggro for 3/4 secs, pop reck and use AA I can pull@the whole pack off tank
Soulbinds and the NL legendary
Necrolord
Which is why a good tricks on opener is insanely impactful
necrolord gets its own lego now?
Yes, well all the covenant gets one.
right, of course
wait guys is this tricks thing forreal? or is it still pvp only?
it's under the "general" category not pvp
It’s the pvp talent
is the NL lego gonna just be solid for raid or what does it do?
anyone got a link to it?

Who hurt you on the 21st?
It's only under general because they had to reword the base tooltip in case you take the pvp talent
i love that you always just jump to conclusions like an asshole

is the new raid full of aoe?
God awful
is it single target?
Pretend it doesn't exist

im asking a fucking question, dont get your panties in a bunch bud
and if you get mad about every little thing, don't answer
cry


fine, here's a better answer. The fae lego is the worst lego we have available to us in 9.1 and should never be crafted under any circumstances, no matter the soulbind, aoe, single target, conduit, gear ilvl, stats you have, pvp, pve, day of the week, week of the year, weather outside, or you being unable to open pins
Haven't quite made Zoldyk yet, but for M+ would you think MA or Doomblade would perform better?
Of those two, MA
Zoldyck is bis for m+
i don't remember asking about the fae lego, but thank you for your misdirected passive aggression
With MA, I wonder if subterfuge would be worth it as I'd lose the crit window spamming garrote on 3 targets
He asked about NL
He asked NL
no bro i asked about NL lol

Nightlords
ive been working 14 hours a day. this is first chance i could get in discord for 3 weeks lol
was just asking what we knew about new raid and how legos worked
All good bro
if the pins are updated, there's a helpful little red notification icon btw
Yeah, read up a bit and ask if anything seems weird
there's some aoe in the new raid, but since the necrolord legendary doesn't give any ST benefit at all i'm not sure if it will be rrun
unlucky

come back again in 3 weeks
That's true, wonder if it will even be out in it's current form.

With MA leggo for M+ do you think subterfuge garrote spam would still be worth it?
you can go on wowhead or on the ptr and look at the encounter journal like the rest of us did
yes
Thanks
wowhead versus maybe finding someone here who tests on PTR is a little different
bleed = good
that is why i like to ask
no bleed = bad
Whispyr ngl even tho u hit me with the passive aggressive emotes all the time they’re s+ tier
Pretty poggers
no one has been able to test those fights yet so the information is the exact same
I mean yeah, it's still a good tactic. There is another spec you can try out if you want:
NS MFD CT, to open each pack with an empowered full 5cp CT
It does sim really well
But it's a bit unorthodox
I dunno about you I killed sylvanas mythic 2 weeks ago
🙂
AWESOME! thank you, i wasn't sure about it yet
Fuck off?
I personally don't think it's going to get any changes at all, but if it does they will probably be outlaw only and not affect us

what, my memes aren't s tier enough?
Bruh I don’t know I
would any of you ever waste valor points upgrading a trinket from 197 to 220? (shadowgrasp totem)
Just met u today and all You’ve done is had a breakdown in a spec channel
So imo you’re D tier as a chatter
Maybe I’ll see more of u bro
Yes, if it's IQD or Phial
Shadowgrasp seems decent, would depend on what you have
IQD feels so much like a meme tho
more like F tier chatter, i have a life unfortunately
implying other people don't have a life
it's a drag
well if IQD is a meme then Shadowgrasp is a bad meme 
you do have a point
IQD pretty good if u just get the WA for it
fair enough
It’s even good if u just use it during execute phase
you're pretty much guaranteed to get stats from both uses of iqd, because no one is oom/hurt on the pull and it always gives stats during lust
kind whack to come in, ask for a cov lego, and then go "yeah but what about the new stuff that won't be out for a month and isn't tested, what's up with that"
even if I popped off on you for the wrong reason
you just give me more fodder
Whispyr where are my sims for my week 2 ptr
how dare you not implenet it all in sims even if they remake half of them next ptr patch

just hope this shit actually goes live in june
I think it might
but june is still
very soon
tbh
considering like 90% of the shit is placeholder atm
kinda scary
yeah
what the status on the dungeon I have no clue
Idk June seems soon to me
July/August possible no?
but I'm not even sure the journal is updated
august is probably too late
but july seems reasonable
think they said thats gonna be up next ptr build
mid-july has been my guess for a while
problem is if patch is that late
assuming raid is 2-3 weeks after
thats hella late then
i think patch late june raid sarly july
all the abilities and loot are in the journal
2 months is definitely enough to go live
they seem to be pretty up to date
what i expect is an initial release date of june and they'll find something and be like "oh, FUCK."


so then sl is probably a 3 tier xpac which is kinda meh

i didn't play in legion, how did it manage to have so many dungeons?
Maybe a short raid like crucible or something
by abandoning the previous xpac

true

Because legion fucked
hfc was like 14months
highmaul and BRF were in beta
then we got HFC
for 14 months
really easy to make content like that
a tier lasting over a year makes me scared
like my guild cleared hfc in December, it came out in june/and we were like r500 lmao
most last tiers of expacs are a year now anyway its nothing unusual
also when you have a .1 patch called "garrison update"
that happens 3 weeks after a tier
starts
lol

well NH was also weird since it had raid testing in beta
Yeah there was a good amount of suramar stuff
so it was ready quite a early
Like the whole questline
wasn't really about the raid, just that 6.1's primary features were fixing issues with the garrison, adding the selfie cam, and twitter integration
soooo
Nice patch
yeah but like I said its just a bad patch name
if it was 6.0.5 nobody would bring it up as an example
😄
Quick check, I know as other classes scale some of the oils and dps potions get worse, is that true with Ass Rogue? Is there a point I should sim for to see if Greater Agi and Sharpening Stones are better than the oils and phantom fires?
yeah lol
I mean it was still poop content its just the combination
i just mean that's all we got until 6.2
(Yeah I know the answer is "Sim It")
and then abandoned until 7.0
like remember TOS only like 50 guilds killed KJ before crucible
I mean KJ was stupid hard
what a weird time that was
theres no clear winner people use all combinations
I like sharpening stones because the sound it makes is crisp

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

we killed it under 200 pulls at like r 350
my core broke before KJ 
278 jk
but we probably started progging it best time possible
like a raid or two in it got nerfed
yeah i think those nerfs went in during prog
p2 add hp and other shit
for us
was still less dumb than the avatar one lol
one pull we have 5 soaks, then the next soak we only had 4
and everyone was panicking
trying to figure out where the 5th one was
avatar monkaS
but yeah thats why TOS can be seen from alot of different povs depending on your rank
thanks!
letting the sims roll now 
for me it at 350 it was kinda chill
was one of the most brutal tiers for me
literally had less wipes on avatar+kj than on argus lmaoooooo
yeah if you were a rogue 

I was a DH back then
Hey guys, I'm having thoughts of swapping from Venthyr to Necro on my strictly m+ Rogue. Is there a way to test playing Necro on ptr or something? Or do I just have to go ballsdeep and yolo the swap to try it out?
Never had to swap Cov before, so a bit anxious about options
You can swap on PTR yeah
Cool, thanks mate!
Is there a weak aura to track how many ruptures/garrotes are up?
You can also “try it” on live but you would have to “live with it” for a week. Since you haven’t been NL already you would just instantly trigger the quest to swap back to Venthyr and you’re then ready for the coming week, just make sure to swap the day before reset or something then
I’m sure there is, but it isn’t particularly useful for anything
Thanks, I'm just not great at tracking when they fall off in big packs in mythic+
Nameplates help with that
Thanks @stoic needle
I use plater but maybe I should look for some more minimalist profiles.
You can customize plater a lot to make it more visible for you
Plater has a counter too? I have it set to just be above the target/ enemies
Just count them in your head like a real chad
The counter isn’t useful
Knowing how many bleeds are up is really useless info
You’d want to know for like council
And that’s it
Yeah
But even then, 2 target bleeds
But in mythic+ you want 3-4 right?
You bleed everything that lasts long enough
Whispyr, what's the correct useage of SBS in sin ST?
On gemstone
kk thanks
If you’re doing priority dps, you’d get 5 out
In aoe you just bleed everything
Well then okay that makes things simpler
Once things are like 10 seconds from dying you envenom over refreshing rupture
And you’re good to go
Makes sense thank you.
Np
does it really?
the only reason I have the aura is for when I need to prio damage something in a pack
if you're running low keys ( <15) and your comp has enough aoe (boomy, fire mage, dh) do you bother swapping to CT build?
yes
kk
PB is hot trash
Any excuse to not use it is good tbh
I just hate using CT single target
Isn’t the whole last row kind of.. meh..?
CT is crazy strong
Since I don’t prio it during shiv it feels like CT single target has trash uptime
might not be 9.2 for him since he's necro 
or you for that matter
might be 9.1 for me 
Yeah that’s normal
It’s like maybe 2-3 casts per minute almost 😦
Is there some optimization you can do like refresh CT just before a shiv window to optimize Doomblade?
until you check the damage PB procs do, then you get sad again
Pb procs look impactful and you hear the sound and see the graphic but you don’t really see any damage though
true, true, it just feels good
it has a very satisfying noise
what about hidden blades and that sweet 400% inc on FoK 

Nothing worthwhile
Me and I think push we’re talking about mythic SLG and how worth it would be running EP Vig NS HB with MA
And then vanishing into an HB fok with Ns
After some quick math
Not good

F
ct snapshots NS for the whole duration
add shields dont even matter anymore
but then you'd have to go mfd, no?
Yeah we had that conversation like 3 months ago
the thought of having to wait a few more weeks to craft MA feelsbadman
Oh, just to have a bit more flexibility
assa def wasnt a viable slg spec 3 months ago
right now I only have doomblade and i've been saving a bit for zoldycks
Yeah craft zoldyck for sure
Zoldyck subterfuge is the standard build, and it’s got the same if not better damage
And silences
It’s just better
The NS thing is just the same damage for less cc
Feels a little awkward as well if you’re not used to slow openers
I tried the MFD one and got started learning the subter build and never really looked back as the MFD one requires a lot of effort for minimal gain. I have fun trying to pot shot mobs with SBS 🙂
Yeah it’s nothing more than a change of pace for fun

Do we use sharpening Stone or shadow oil as sin and outlaw?

stones and agi pots are more consistent
Ah ok thanks
How DARE THESE RANDOM PEOPLE NOT PLAY THE GAME PERFECTLY WITH NO MISTAKES WHATSOEVER?!?
Any death spikers
Right here papi

We don’t claim him
Imagine not putting the bis AOE stats on the bis aoe legendary 
And you call ME the mastery stan
I ONLY GET MASTERY
Give it to me
I GOT MASTERY NECK AND MASTERY RINGS AND MASTERY EVERYTHING
Bout to craft my first leggo, looked at the pins and looks like Zoldyck/MA is recommended for overall, this still the case before I commit?
Indeed
Mastery IQD? @stoic needle ur dream can become reality
Zold for sin, ma if you’re playing other specs
Yes lawd
Okay, thank you @balmy condor
But you can play MA just fine on sin as well if you’re gonna pvp for example
Mastery isn't my highest stat so I can't get it to proc from mine sadly
You can still dream papi
I typically dabble in everything tbh, arena i haven't broken 2k or anything tho
F.
By playing sub in aoe 
and uh how do you think you'll go about that
@stoic needle 
Yesssss
that's without me switching out my raid gear 
You better start stacking that mastery sir
ngl it feels good to be assa in m+ again
