I have no comment on it since I don't play outlaw

gusty mirage
#

I blame whoever told him to post it there in outlaw tbh

shy dust
#

its up there

#

with cttc being worth 50 dps

balmy condor
#

ey

#

we're here to learn

#

:)

muted narwhal
#

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?

gusty mirage
#

No MP sucks outside of pvp

stoic needle
#

No you never run master poisoner

muted narwhal
#

Hmm

stoic needle
#

The gap between the two gets smaller with better gear iirc

muted narwhal
#

Ah okay

stoic needle
#

The pins have them very close

wind crypt
#

Is the reason to open with Mutilate out of stealth just the combo points?

stoic needle
#

For me it's like 60dps or smth

#

!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.

wind crypt
#

kk ty

stoic needle
#

Imagine not bonespike out of stealth coolpepe

wind crypt
#

but for the poison application isn't it just always 100% 🤔

#

or is that command for all specs

stoic needle
#

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

balmy condor
#

mut hits twice

stoic needle
#

Or maybe they both proc

wind crypt
#

ah yea forgot the extra damage you get from applying poison to a target with poison makes sense

drifting cloud
#

@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?

balmy condor
#

yep

drifting cloud
#

thought so just wanted to make sure tinfoil_pepe

kind talon
cerulean nest
#

anyone talent ST for tyrannical weeks?

balmy condor
#

no

cerulean nest
#

swagger

silent stratus
#

is zoldyck a must for any mythic progress or just sire?

gloomy knoll
#

zoldyck isn't a must for anything

vagrant bison
#

why do we even take poison bomb

gloomy knoll
#

it's nice for slg prog and denny prog but you don't need it

vagrant bison
#

in raids

#

it did 25k damage

#

in 6 minutes

gloomy knoll
#

it's our best ST talent

#

yea rng is a thing

#

lol

silent stratus
#

for raid mythic prog

#

(5/10)

gloomy knoll
#

if you're 5/10 i'd finish your doom first yea

balmy condor
stoic needle
#

Because running ct makes you envenom less

#

That's probably more damage than PB itself KEKWW

silent stratus
#

any big fuckup anyone can spot?

compact pumice
stoic needle
#

Change your name

silent stratus
stoic needle
#

You have 3 bm hunters

silent stratus
#

and ur trying to make me change it so u can copy

stoic needle
#

Your raid dps is abysmal and your kill time is long

silent stratus
#

well longer kill time doesnt necessarily means lower dps

#

if it fits in another vendetta window

stoic needle
#

You're using oil and phantom fire pots instead of agi

#

Well your kill time is 7min

#

Which is bad

silent stratus
#

I used vendetta at 6:25

#

the latest one

#

I think one big fuckup was using vendetta on a crimson

stoic needle
#

No?

#

I mean overall ur just not going to parse when 3 members of your raid are doing tank level dps

kind talon
#

Not true

stoic needle
#

Also I think you missed a shiv towards the end

kind talon
#

Osh

silent stratus
#

this whole concept of longer kill time = lower dps isn't always true. It believe on the class and the damage profile

kind talon
#

I parses on a 10 minute hc slg kill

stoic needle
#

It's also not untrue either

silent stratus
#

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

stoic needle
#

The highest sire parses are like 5 mins

kind talon
stoic needle
#

An 88 is not a very good parse(it's not bad either), I'm talking about 95+

kind talon
#

Yeah which I agree with BUT

#

He blue parses right

silent stratus
#

assa dps will spike back during vendetta, so if you kill during that burst, your dps will be higher = better parse

stoic needle
#

Yeah but you didn't do that here

#

You killed after your vendetta ended

silent stratus
#

Bc my latest vendetta was at 6:30 and it was a 7 min kill, the kill time isnt so bad

kind talon
#

Sec lemme check something

silent stratus
#

I dont think time affected my parse a lot there imo, or if it does I don't see how

stoic needle
#

You'd want it to be at 8:00+ for you to get another vendetta

kind talon
#

Casts on remornia

stoic needle
#

Oh yeah

kind talon
#

2 garrotes

stoic needle
#

You want to constantly keep her dotted

kind talon
#

This is definitely fucking you bro

silent stratus
#

I see

kind talon
#

You need to keep up garrote and rupture on sire and remornia

#

And then pump envenoms

silent stratus
#

Idk how you guys do sire, but the way we were doing I was struggling to keep bleeds on that

kind talon
#

CT to refresh

restive bluff
#

do u pre-pot on sludge mythic?

stoic needle
#

Do they not tank sire and remornia right next to eachother?

restive bluff
#

i mean all the raid

kind talon
#

So when you get down just immediately work on dotting up sire and remornia

restive bluff
#

we are wiping on about 1%

kind talon
#

Yes you prepot on sludge

stoic needle
#

Sludgefist is about people not dying before the last pillar

kind talon
#

On all dps check bosses there’s no reason not to prepot

stoic needle
#

That's why you're wiping

compact pumice
#

I thought you can’t prepot any more?

silent stratus
#

but def I could have done better

kind talon
#

Osh he’s wiping at 1% with people not potting that could make the difference

stoic needle
#

No

kind talon
stoic needle
#

People not dying is what makes the difference

stoic needle
silent stratus
stoic needle
#

That's a tank issue

kind talon
#

Yes

restive bluff
#

the reason we dont pre-pot is the alignment of the pot and last pillar

kind talon
#

Garrote less important

restive bluff
#

donno if it can compensate the 2 pot dmg

drifting cloud
#

wtf are you talking about gwookey

stoic needle
#

You can't get 100% on remornia because she runs away to cast massacre and you should be running when she does impale

drifting cloud
#

please stop

silent stratus
#

I had 15% rup and 10% garrote on remornia

compact pumice
#

Isn’t that just potting? Why are you calling it prepot?

kind talon
#

Wdym ryler?

drifting cloud
#

man stop giving advice about fights you have no clue about

#

how you gonna put with lust if you are prepotting

kind talon
#

Ah true

drifting cloud
#

its still on cd

kind talon
#

Yeah mb

#

U right

stoic needle
#

Sludgefist kills are around 5:30 or so

kind talon
#

Sorry I’m tired but you want to pot with lust tho

balmy condor
kind talon
#

Really helpful

#

Give some advice next time

drifting cloud
#

well not my fault you can comprehend what a 5min cd is

kind talon
#

All I did was have a brain fart

#

I misspoke

#

You’re an asshole

wind flare
#

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+

kind talon
#

Difference in quality of being

silent stratus
slow marsh
#

Best stats for AoE are crit/mastery correct?

silent stratus
#

all of them require time so it's good u start with the one ur most interested based on the content u wanna do

kind talon
#

You have no grounds with which to speak @drifting cloud unless you’re also giving advice / helping

drifting cloud
#

bro just take your adhd pills and stop posting 300 times a day

stoic needle
#

Just focus on making sure everyone is alive at the 4th pillar

#

If someone dies before then just wipe

wind flare
stoic needle
silent stratus
compact pumice
silent stratus
kind talon
drifting cloud
#

if youre serious about m+ you should play outlaw

silent stratus
#

^ 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

compact pumice
#

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.

kind talon
#

You can’t have 100%

#

Need to look at p2

#

Remornia isn’t out p1 p3

silent stratus
wind flare
#

is Venthyr outlaw playable? xD

silent stratus
kind talon
#

You would like to have 100% uptime but not feasible

#

So you try

#

Is what I meant

silent stratus
#

ok, whats a good benchmark to have?

stoic needle
compact pumice
kind talon
#

And phase one @stoic needle

silent stratus
#

for orange parses

stoic needle
#

You need to get your tanks to position them properly, not letting people cleave is a dps loss for sure

compact pumice
#

With all the impales and ravage remornia is unreachable you reup dots a lot so not surprising

stoic needle
#

I try to dot her right before ravage and impale

silent stratus
stoic needle
#

Yeah

gusty mirage
#

tf is going in here, why are people being toxic

stoic needle
#

Well this is the poison spec channel Sinscheme

kind talon
#

someone asked if u prepot sludge

compact pumice
kind talon
#

and i pepega brained and said yes

#

because ppl in my guild say battle pot / prepot synonymously in my guild

silent stratus
gusty mirage
silent stratus
#

usually if I gar one, the time I have gar back, the other one is almost dead

stoic needle
silent stratus
#

and does not have ~12 TTD for sure

kind talon
#

i later said u "prepot with lust"

#

but ye

stoic needle
#

Like 2-3 cp

silent stratus
#

thats something I feel I dont understand yet

#

when it's worth 2-3 rup

#

instead of 4-5 env 2x

stoic needle
#

I mean tbf tyler is just toxic sometimes for no reason

#

It's a thing

drifting cloud
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

kind talon
#

you only envenom someone with all bleeds up btw

#

if ur using doomblades

compact pumice
#

If you’re spending CP to envenom with Doomblade you better make sure the target has max bleeds!

stoic needle
#

And rup still does more

kind talon
#

@silent stratus way id play p2 is maintain all bleeds on sire, as many as u can on remornia

compact pumice
#

Way better to hit the boss with env than a cabalist

kind talon
#

crimson tempest and LOW cp ruptures on cabalist

silent stratus
#

wow didnt know env was so bad

#

ty

kind talon
#

then funnel env into sire

#

env is not so bad

silent stratus
#

no gar on cabalist?

kind talon
#

wel

#

one gets bursted insta

silent stratus
#

I mean 2.5k for 5cp env

kind talon
#

so a garrote on it is wasted

#

the other one you can garrote

silent stratus
#

is kinda low compared to 4.4k of gar

stoic needle
#

You can garotte the farther one yeah

kind talon
#

but low cp rupture is more important

stoic needle
#

Especially since it gives some energy

compact pumice
#

It just puts it on CD, but if both remornia and boss has >6 sec garrote on them by all means garrote one

silent stratus
#

so I guess fan of knives and low cp rupture when they spawn

#

right?

kind talon
#

better to just garrote rupture remornia and prio CT

#

when they spawn

stoic needle
#

Well for sire hc

kind talon
#

when all 4 are stacked just use CT

stoic needle
#

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

silent stratus
#

yep with knife

stoic needle
#

Then sprint over to sire, if you are using subterfuge, vanish and garotte everything

kind talon
#

u can hit remornia as u fall down???

stoic needle
#

No like immediately as you hit the ground

kind talon
#

oh

#

ye

shy dust
#

fuck pooling to 5 cp

compact pumice
#

You use subterfuge?

shy dust
#

Maintain alacrity

stoic needle
#

If you aren't using subterfuge, vanish and fok > rupture sire and then fok> ct

#

And put ruptures on the adds

kind talon
#

cant u like

#

garrote rupture remornia mut mut rupture sire

stoic needle
#

There's 4 targets

kind talon
#

and then vanish fok fok ct

stoic needle
#

So you fok

kind talon
#

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

stoic needle
#

Oh yeah he is necro

#

You'd probably want to sbs rupture the adds instead of fok so you get resets

silent stratus
#

I have vendetta back also

#

when I go down

stoic needle
#

Save that until you get the bleeds up

kind talon
#

vendetta sire when bleeds are up

#

pretty pog

silent stratus
#

probably I will never fok except p1 if Im necro

stoic needle
#

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

silent stratus
#

sbs -> rup adds would probably be 2-3cp rup

#

but I guess as u said still worth it

kind talon
#

rupture doesnt lose damage

#

with lower cp

#

just time

#

btw

silent stratus
#

true

stoic needle
#

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+

kind talon
#

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

silent stratus
#

so during p1 I would never use sbs except on opener and vanish?

kind talon
#

you always use sbs to avoid overcapping charges

odd hazel
#

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

gusty mirage
#

are these weapons in your bags already?

#

just top gear it tbh

odd hazel
#

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. )

drifting cloud
#

depends if you need valor for something else I guess

broken flame
#

is it possible to get the slime mount from HC plaguefall as a Sin Rogue?

red bloom
#

I had a lot of issues when I tried

#

dying being the main one

drifting cloud
#

yes but you need alot of gear or just get a friend to kill spider for you

bleak sky
#

ep vigor vs blindside deeper strats on shriekwing?

fathom swift
#

if execute doesnt matter the difference is pretty small

#

Got grey parse, problem is I don’t think I did something wrong , meaning I need intervention lol

kind talon
#

ur nightfae

#

wrong talents

#

CT is better

stoic needle
#

We already gave you advice on that log man lol

kind talon
#

ah mb

stoic needle
#

Ct is kinda padding as well

drifting cloud
#

25k add dmg monkahmm

kind talon
#

i went poison bomb

#

js

#

if hes playing EP vigor

#

he might as well go CT

#

depends on how many adds he skips

balmy condor
#

why does EP vigor make CT better?

kind talon
#

it doesnt

#

vigor makes ep better

#

anyways

#

ill retract my statements about CT over PB

balmy condor
#

but "if he's playing EP vigor he might as well go CT"

kind talon
#

i mean they pretty much had 3 sets of adds

#

so PB is fine

kind talon
#

js

peak helm
#

!guides

stoic needle
#

well he should be dotting the adds because the energy increases his priority damage to the boss

kind talon
#

yes

stoic needle
#

which also makes EP more valuable

kind talon
#

i looked at the log

#

idk man 2 people already helped him

stoic needle
#

yeah lol

wet ruin
#

ct isn't really padding though

kind talon
#

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

wet ruin
#

if you are focusing the adds or rather the big add then you are probably doing it wrong

kind talon
#

No one is focusing the adds

wet ruin
#

as in 'your raid focusing the add' it should die just form cleave

kind talon
#

The log we were looking at has like 2 ruptures total cast on adds

kind talon
stoic needle
kind talon
stoic needle
#

yes but you're sacrificing boss damage to do that

kind talon
#

Like, my raid has had past issues where the harnessed specter stayed up into the next set

wet ruin
#

are you though

stoic needle
#

let the actual aoe classes handle those adds and pump the boss

kind talon
#

If that was a constant issue then I would have gone CT

wet ruin
#

doesn't seem like padding really, since it actually does something for st as well

kind talon
#

doing the sim rn

drifting cloud
#

consdering your r1 overall is also r1 boss dmg

#

I think youre good annsie

stoic needle
#

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

wet ruin
#

we had only one, but still

kind talon
#

CT isnt that much less ST dmg

low girder
#

It's not a loss at all if you're zoldyck

kind talon
#

esp if running doomblades

low girder
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

kind talon
#

u dont run zoldyck for inerva tho

low girder
#

Oh I thought we were talking sire for some reason

kind talon
#

nah its inerva

low girder
#

It's a bigger loss on doomblade btw

#

Like, noticeably

kind talon
#

ye ofc it is

low girder
#

I'd call -100 a lot

kind talon
#

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

placid pagoda
#

Hey guys - is Zoldiks still best for m+ for Assa?

low girder
#

Idk every sim I'm running the loss is just as significant on a cleave add

placid pagoda
balmy condor
#

definitely in m+

#

should only really consider doomblade for ToP

#

and even then, questionable

placid pagoda
#

Interesting

#

Just swapped from my fury warrior to assa / outlaw

safe barn
#

whisp have you just out of curiosity simmed anything in ptr for outlaw?

balmy condor
#

outlaw

placid pagoda
#

Is it worth crafting another leggi for raiding on assa then?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

we craft zold for m+ and doom for raid

#

atm

placid pagoda
#

Compared to signet on my warrior for all specs 😂

stoic needle
#

doomspike bonespike

#

it's okay because torghast is literally free as a rogue

balmy condor
#

there's a lot of viable options

safe barn

I would not play doomblade in any m+ environment

balmy condor

I'm like 90% sure I have a pin on that as well

#

cause I'm a baller

ever

low girder
#

No, due to not having a majority of pulls being less than 4

balmy condor
#

I run MA in most of my keys for fun

oak cypress
#

on council it is worth maintaining rup/garrote on one of the other bosses u arent actively killing right?

balmy condor
#

and it does pretty much the same damage

safe barn
#

as an outlaw?

balmy condor
#

total

safe barn
#

huh

balmy condor
#

DUDE

#

I DONT PLAY OUTLAW

SPEC IS TRASH

I don't talk about outlaw

#

don't ask me outlaw shit

#

I don't care

balmy condor
safe barn
#

i must be doing my opener wrong when using MA then

balmy condor
#

that's the highest prio damage

placid pagoda

How long is it going to take me to craft 2 leggo’s to 235

balmy condor

uhhh from 0 ash

should be 8 weeks?

Yeah

Hefty

low girder

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?

Switch covenants and redo the campaign

#

Free 194 lul

stoic needle
#

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

oak cypress
#

ok thank you

placid pagoda
#

Just to check, doom still best ST?

safe barn
#

should i open with FoK>CT>FoK>apply dots? in M+ with Ma

stoic needle
low girder
#

If he's running MA and not taking NS shouldn't he be subt

#

And therefore not opening like that

stoic needle
#

yeah you're right

safe barn
#

Yep, that's why im asking, cuz i was playing with subt and opening with garrote in everyone

stoic needle
#

with subt you still 3x garrote even with ma

safe barn
#

that does not seem optimal with MA

stoic needle
#

but it is

low girder
#

It is

safe barn
#

really?

stoic needle
#

yeah

safe barn
#

how does the crit works with garrote?

#

it crits everything?

stoic needle
#

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

safe barn
#

i'll try the NS+MFD build

#

seems fun

low girder
#

It's worse but not that much worse

#

It's fun imo

stoic needle
#

yeah it is a lot of fun

safe barn
#

we lose that much from the enh gar?

#

damn

stoic needle
#

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

kind talon
#

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

stoic needle
#

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

kind talon
#

I have no soul ash sorry osh

safe barn
#

one thing i struggle with sin in m+ is the lack of DR

#

so i never know when to use vanish/vendetta

kind talon
#

Oh btw osh

kind talon
stoic needle
#

they're exactly the same ability

kind talon
#

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

spice spire
#

I see but also tinfoil_pepe

stoic needle
#

yeah that literally doesnt matter at all dude

#

i never have aggro issues in keys and i press tricks on cd

kind talon
#

It’s not ur aggro that’s the issue

spice spire
#

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

kind talon
#

Depends on comp but

#

Warriors rip aggro

#

Fire mages rip aggro

stoic needle
#

there's several reasons why outlaw is better than sin in m+ but tricks is not one

spice spire
#

^

stoic needle
#

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

kind talon
#

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

low girder
#

Tricks the warrior to have pack live longer for more dps

@stoic needle

@spice spire

#

Earlier I was talking about how outlaw rogue tricks is more impactful

#

For opening pulls

#

Compared to assa tricks

balmy condor
kind talon
spice spire
#

Oh no he’s been awoken pepehands

balmy condor
#

nah I've been watching the whole time

#

I'm just confused

bleak sky
#

someone activated whispyr

spice spire
#

O Icy

kind talon
bleak sky
#

we're gonna have a "Rupture is better than SnD" all over again

balmy condor
#

idk man

#

people have had some pretty shit takes in here lately

#

kinda concerning

wide bolt
#

but rupture deals dmg slice doesnt so it must be better kekw

kind talon
#

Idk what’s so bad about what I said

stoic needle
#

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"

spice spire
#

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

placid pagoda
#

@balmy condor would you say MA is a more neutral Lego over voldiks ?

placid pagoda
balmy condor
stoic needle
#

just make zoldycks

#

you dont really need MA for anything

#

it's not bis for anything

placid pagoda
low girder
#

Yeah only make MA if you're gonna play multiple specs in keys

#

Otherwise doesn't make much sense

placid pagoda
balmy condor
#

and on the tricks thing, the idea that you'll even notice the difference in tricks between the two specs

#

is kinda laughable

placid pagoda
low girder
#

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

kind talon
#

Esp with MA

#

It’s not a huge thing

#

But it exists lmfao

stoic needle
#

it exists but nobody cares about it

kind talon
#

I do but that’s prob just cause I play fury

stoic needle
#

you're unlikely to be playing with a fury in a key anyway

kind talon
#

Amount of times I’ll pull aggro / die to aggro is thru the roof

compact pumice
#

Then again you'll hit 8 mobs with CT so it might even be better with tricks for a large pack

kind talon
#

But yeah fair enough

kind talon
#

Tricks is most impactful on opening of a pull

#

Ur not gonna pull aggro 10 sec into a pull

compact pumice
#

mages frequently do

#

but maybe yeah

kind talon
#

But then the mage is combusting 10 seconds into the pull

compact pumice
#

But a rogue who optimises his tricks is focusing on the wrong things to improve IMO

kind talon
#

True

solar vortex
#

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?

compact pumice
solar vortex
#

yeah i heard something about it

#

did the buff bone spikes?

#

or the soulbinds?

placid pagoda
compact pumice
#

Soulbinds and the NL legendary

solar vortex
#

NL?

#

ohh

compact pumice
#

Necrolord

kind talon
solar vortex
#

necrolord gets its own lego now?

kind talon
#

Imo

#

It’s a fringe scenario though ig

compact pumice
solar vortex
#

right, of course

strange python
#

wait guys is this tricks thing forreal? or is it still pvp only?

#

it's under the "general" category not pvp

kind talon
#

It’s the pvp talent

solar vortex
#

is the NL lego gonna just be solid for raid or what does it do?

#

anyone got a link to it?

compact pumice
spice spire
low girder
#

It's only under general because they had to reword the base tooltip in case you take the pvp talent

balmy condor
#

the fuck is wrong with you people

#

just fucking read

solar vortex
#

i love that you always just jump to conclusions like an asshole

strange python
solar vortex
#

is the new raid full of aoe?

low girder
#

God awful

solar vortex
#

is it single target?

low girder
#

Pretend it doesn't exist

strange python
solar vortex
#

im asking a fucking question, dont get your panties in a bunch bud

# solar vortex is the NL lego gonna just be solid for raid or what does it do?

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

kind talon
#

NL = necrolord...

#

js

peak jungle
#

Haven't quite made Zoldyk yet, but for M+ would you think MA or Doomblade would perform better?

kind talon
#

Zoldyck is bis for m+

solar vortex
#

i don't remember asking about the fae lego, but thank you for your misdirected passive aggression

peak jungle
#

With MA, I wonder if subterfuge would be worth it as I'd lose the crit window spamming garrote on 3 targets

balmy condor
#

wait you didn't

#

?

#

what cov did you ask

compact pumice
#

He asked about NL

kind talon
#

He asked NL

solar vortex
#

no bro i asked about NL lol

balmy condor
#

oh

#

well that's also in the pins

compact pumice
warped temple
#

Nightlords

solar vortex
#

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

kind talon
#

All good bro

balmy condor
#

if the pins are updated, there's a helpful little red notification icon btw

compact pumice
#

Yeah, read up a bit and ask if anything seems weird

solar vortex
#

then whysper comes on and tries to karate chop my fucking head off

#

AS USUAL

balmy condor
#

easy

#

don't ask pinned questions

#

:)

stoic needle
#

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

solar vortex
#

i checked pins, maybe i overlooked a link to the new legos?

#

or new raid?

drifting cloud
#

unlucky

balmy condor
drifting cloud
#

come back again in 3 weeks

solar vortex
#

spoiler alert, there aren't links to it

#

so i asked

#

🙂

compact pumice
balmy condor
peak jungle
stoic needle
#

you can go on wowhead or on the ptr and look at the encounter journal like the rest of us did

peak jungle
#

Thanks

solar vortex
#

wowhead versus maybe finding someone here who tests on PTR is a little different

bleak sky
#

bleed = good

solar vortex
#

that is why i like to ask

bleak sky
#

no bleed = bad

kind talon
#

Whispyr ngl even tho u hit me with the passive aggressive emotes all the time they’re s+ tier

#

Pretty poggers

stoic needle
solar vortex
#

@kind talon

compact pumice
#

It does sim really well

#

But it's a bit unorthodox

drifting cloud
#

I dunno about you I killed sylvanas mythic 2 weeks ago

kind talon
#

🙂

solar vortex
stoic needle
balmy condor
#

this dude

stoic needle
solar vortex
#

what, my memes aren't s tier enough?

kind talon
#

Bruh I don’t know I

bleak sky
#

would any of you ever waste valor points upgrading a trinket from 197 to 220? (shadowgrasp totem)

kind talon
#

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

compact pumice
#

Shadowgrasp seems decent, would depend on what you have

bleak sky
#

IQD feels so much like a meme tho

solar vortex
#

more like F tier chatter, i have a life unfortunately

bleak sky
#

implying other people don't have a life

solar vortex
#

it's a drag

drifting cloud
#

then why do you care

#

just come back 1 week before patch launches

compact pumice
bleak sky
#

you do have a point

kind talon
#

IQD pretty good if u just get the WA for it

bleak sky
#

fair enough

kind talon
#

It’s even good if u just use it during execute phase

stoic needle
#

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

balmy condor
#

even if I popped off on you for the wrong reason

#

you just give me more fodder

low girder
#

Whispyr where are my sims for my week 2 ptr

drifting cloud
#

how dare you not implenet it all in sims even if they remake half of them next ptr patch

kind talon
drifting cloud
#

just hope this shit actually goes live in june

balmy condor
#

I think it might

#

but june is still

#

very soon

#

tbh

#

considering like 90% of the shit is placeholder atm

#

kinda scary

drifting cloud
#

you mean like the interviews about rio system

#

thats nowhere to be seen ingame

balmy condor
#

yeah

drifting cloud
#

what the status on the dungeon I have no clue

kind talon
#

Idk June seems soon to me

balmy condor
#

I don't think it's testable

#

the models got datamined

kind talon
#

July/August possible no?

balmy condor
#

but I'm not even sure the journal is updated

#

august is probably too late

#

but july seems reasonable

fathom swift
low girder
#

mid-july has been my guess for a while

drifting cloud
#

problem is if patch is that late

#

assuming raid is 2-3 weeks after

#

thats hella late then

fathom swift
#

i think patch late june raid sarly july

stoic needle
#

all the abilities and loot are in the journal

fathom swift
#

2 months is definitely enough to go live

stoic needle
#

they seem to be pretty up to date

kind talon
#

I hope I can get CE fuckin hell dude

#

Lmfao

low girder
#

what i expect is an initial release date of june and they'll find something and be like "oh, FUCK."

stoic needle
drifting cloud
#

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

kind talon
stoic needle
#

i didn't play in legion, how did it manage to have so many dungeons?

kind talon
low girder
drifting cloud
#

true

stoic needle
kind talon
drifting cloud
#

hfc was like 14months

low girder
#

highmaul and BRF were in beta

#

then we got HFC

#

for 14 months

#

really easy to make content like that

stoic needle
#

a tier lasting over a year makes me scared

drifting cloud
#

like my guild cleared hfc in December, it came out in june/and we were like r500 lmao

fathom swift
#

most last tiers of expacs are a year now anyway its nothing unusual

low girder
#

also when you have a .1 patch called "garrison update"

#

that happens 3 weeks after a tier

#

starts

#

lol

kind talon
drifting cloud
#

yeah but they only really changed that in bfa mata

#

antorus for example was 7.2.5

low girder
#

7.1 had a bunch of suramar stuff

#

iirc

#

then NH came later

#

and new leggos i think?

drifting cloud
#

well NH was also weird since it had raid testing in beta

kind talon
#

Yeah there was a good amount of suramar stuff

drifting cloud
#

so it was ready quite a early

kind talon
#

Like the whole questline

low girder
#

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

kind talon
#

Nice patch

drifting cloud
#

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

#

😄

lavish pulsar
#

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?

low girder
#

yeah lol

drifting cloud
#

I mean it was still poop content its just the combination

low girder
#

i just mean that's all we got until 6.2

lavish pulsar
#

(Yeah I know the answer is "Sim It")

low girder
#

and then abandoned until 7.0

drifting cloud
#

like remember TOS only like 50 guilds killed KJ before crucible

low girder
#

apart from the valor patch

#

also mythic dungeons

#

that was strange

bleak sky
low girder
#

what a weird time that was

drifting cloud
low girder
#

yeah unfortunately the only real answer we can give is sim it

#

this'll help

bleak sky
#

I like sharpening stones because the sound it makes is crisp

low girder
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

drifting cloud
#

sure for top100 KJ was hard but after like 2nd set of nerfs

#

he wasnt that bad

low girder
#

idk he was still like 400+ pulls

#

and we killed it uh

#

might've been top 200

drifting cloud
#

we killed it under 200 pulls at like r 350

bleak sky
#

my core broke before KJ omegalul

low girder
#

278 jk

drifting cloud
#

but we probably started progging it best time possible

#

like a raid or two in it got nerfed

low girder
#

yeah i think those nerfs went in during prog

drifting cloud
#

p2 add hp and other shit

low girder
#

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

bleak sky
#

avatar monkaS

drifting cloud
#

but yeah thats why TOS can be seen from alot of different povs depending on your rank

lavish pulsar
drifting cloud
#

for me it at 350 it was kinda chill

low girder
#

was one of the most brutal tiers for me

drifting cloud
#

literally had less wipes on avatar+kj than on argus lmaoooooo

low girder
#

mistress -> maiden -> avatar -> kj

#

what a brutal progression

bleak sky
#

mistress was a REAL bitch

#

but damn ToS was a fun raid

drifting cloud
#

yeah if you were a rogue pepechortle

low girder
bleak sky
#

I was a DH back then

copper salmon
#

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

copper salmon
#

Cool, thanks mate!

vernal granite
#

Is there a weak aura to track how many ruptures/garrotes are up?

compact pumice
#

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

balmy condor
stoic needle
vernal granite
#

Thanks, I'm just not great at tracking when they fall off in big packs in mythic+

balmy condor
#

Nameplates help with that

vernal granite
#

Thanks @stoic needle

#

I use plater but maybe I should look for some more minimalist profiles.

compact pumice
#

You can customize plater a lot to make it more visible for you

pure moth
#

Plater has a counter too? I have it set to just be above the target/ enemies

bleak sky
#

Just count them in your head like a real chad

balmy condor
#

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

pure moth
#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

But even then, 2 target bleeds

vernal granite
#

But in mythic+ you want 3-4 right?

balmy condor
#

You bleed everything that lasts long enough

versed mica
#

Whispyr, what's the correct useage of SBS in sin ST?

balmy condor
#

On gemstone

versed mica
#

kk thanks

balmy condor
#

In aoe you just bleed everything

vernal granite
#

Well then okay that makes things simpler

balmy condor
#

Once things are like 10 seconds from dying you envenom over refreshing rupture

#

And you’re good to go

vernal granite
#

Makes sense thank you.

balmy condor
#

Np

stoic needle
#

the only reason I have the aura is for when I need to prio damage something in a pack

bleak sky
#

if you're running low keys ( <15) and your comp has enough aoe (boomy, fire mage, dh) do you bother swapping to CT build?

stoic needle
#

yes

bleak sky
#

kk

balmy condor
#

PB is hot trash

#

Any excuse to not use it is good tbh

#

I just hate using CT single target

stoic needle
#

CT ST gaming in 9.2

#

prepare thyself

errant viper
#

Isn’t the whole last row kind of.. meh..?

balmy condor
#

CT is crazy strong

compact pumice
#

Since I don’t prio it during shiv it feels like CT single target has trash uptime

low girder
#

might not be 9.2 for him since he's necro lul

#

or you for that matter

#

might be 9.1 for me monkaGiga

compact pumice
#

It’s like maybe 2-3 casts per minute almost 😦

balmy condor
#

Uh

#

Should be closer to 4 a min probably

#

But yeah

#

Seems fine

bleak sky
#

CT just feels so sad

#

PB procs make me happy, CT usage doesn't

compact pumice
#

Is there some optimization you can do like refresh CT just before a shiv window to optimize Doomblade?

gusty mirage
compact pumice
bleak sky
#

true, true, it just feels good

#

it has a very satisfying noise

#

what about hidden blades and that sweet 400% inc on FoK Kappa

kind talon
balmy condor
#

And then vanishing into an HB fok with Ns

#

After some quick math

#

Not good

bleak sky
#

F

kind talon
#

What if you like

#

Vanish into CT with NS

#

Does it affect only the upfront dmg?

stoic needle
#

ct snapshots NS for the whole duration

balmy condor
#

NS CT is good in m+

#

But for something like slg add shields

#

Not really helpful

fathom swift
#

add shields dont even matter anymore

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

Yeah we had that conversation like 3 months ago

balmy condor
#

You’d also take MA as a legendary

bleak sky
#

the thought of having to wait a few more weeks to craft MA feelsbadman

balmy condor
#

It’s just a fun little alternate build for m+

#

Nothing impressive

bleak sky
#

Oh, just to have a bit more flexibility

fathom swift
#

assa def wasnt a viable slg spec 3 months ago

bleak sky
#

right now I only have doomblade and i've been saving a bit for zoldycks

balmy condor
#

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

heavy trail
#

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 🙂

balmy condor
#

Yeah it’s nothing more than a change of pace for fun

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

Give it to me

balmy condor

I GOT MASTERY NECK AND MASTERY RINGS AND MASTERY EVERYTHING

stoic needle

Smh

You don't deserve it

balmy condor

I had to swap for sidegrade bracers to avoid mastery IQD

#

Was cancer

fresh kelp

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?

spice spire

Mastery IQD? @stoic needle ur dream can become reality

balmy condor
#

Zold for sin, ma if you’re playing other specs

fresh kelp
#

Okay, thank you @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

But you can play MA just fine on sin as well if you’re gonna pvp for example

stoic needle
#

Mastery isn't my highest stat so I can't get it to proc from mine sadly

spice spire
#

You can still dream papi

stoic needle
#

I have ~600 haste and crit but only ~400 mastery

#

I need one more ring

I typically dabble in everything tbh, arena i haven't broken 2k or anything tho

stoic needle

And maybe a couple other peices

Mastery stackers RISE UP

#

We will RULE 9.1

low girder
#

By playing sub in aoe poggers

dawn ivy
#

and uh how do you think you'll go about that

stoic needle
#

***will rule m+

#

I'd like to see the aoe comparisons of sin with deathspike and sub

gusty mirage
#

@stoic needle poghypers

stoic needle
#

Yesssss

gusty mirage
#

that's without me switching out my raid gear YEP

stoic needle
#

You better start stacking that mastery sir

gusty mirage
#

ngl it feels good to be assa in m+ again

balmy condor
#

Don’t give into his lies oxi

#

If you look into his eyes you’ll turn to stone

gusty mirage
#

tbh I need more crit & some more vers

#

idk if 18% haste is doing me much good

#

222 fire mage & 220 mm hunter btw

#

get rekt

stoic needle
#

It's fine but it won't give you that big overall like you want

#

Don't listen to the mastery non-believers SMILERS

#

Reject big haste
