probably not bad

mossy sable
#

Sludge stands still a lot

#

I feel like I would miss hook on Sire

#

I have to hook to the ranged platforms cause our ranged don't kill it fast enough

shy dust
#

door of shadows

mossy sable
#

And use the sire pull thing to rip me back

mossy sable
fallen arch
#

You have shadowstep?

#

U can ss to range adds

mossy sable
#

Can it reach all the way to ranged casters?

fallen arch
#

Yes

mossy sable
#

Hmm ok

fallen arch
#

Lock/priest can bring u back.

mossy sable
#

Well I only do it before he casts the one ability

fallen arch
#

Or pull if u time well

mossy sable
#

Yeah I do it before the pull

#

Every time

#

Only risk is I dot more as Sin

grand ridge
#

You lose out on a lot of envenoms maintaining ct dot

#

Is the 5% dmg worth it

mossy sable
#

Sims say -76 dps if I use CT

#

In ST

fallen arch
#

If the boss stands still that is

stoic needle
#

it's less than that for more geared folks

#

you should be using lashing scars too

mossy sable
#

I am Necro rn

stoic needle
#

oh okay i thought you were venthyr

#

probably want sudden fractures then

mossy sable
#

I will be once I get TWO MORE FUCKING RENOWN

#

I hate this...

stoic needle
#

why worry about the renown? u will get it insta when u swap back

mossy sable
#

I am at 38rn

#

Getting it to 40

#

Swapping back to Venth

#

And if I decide to swap back and forth I can

#

+2 weeks or whatever

grand ridge
#

Renown is such a pain after a certain level

#

Just wait for the Tuesday weekly quests

mossy sable
#

lol i'm dumb

#

I had it on this for some reason

mighty owl
#

You probs want gemstones with heirmir too

mossy sable
#

Hmm?

#

I main Outlaw so Heirmir is setup for Law, I use Emeni as my Sin one instead

hollow jolt
#

does anyone know where I can find the old toxic blade icon when I'm making a macro? PES_Hmmm

nocturne remnant
#

Sorry if it's the wrong channel, but as a new rogue player i would like to focus more on 1 spec, how viable is necro assassination? I wanna be sure to have a good char for 9.1 too ty in advance!

hollow jolt
#

necro assa very good rn. imo its overall best spec for any content rn. Good in raid not bad in pvp and decent in m+ I guess

mossy sable
#

It also works well if you plan to play other specs at some point to

#

Outlaw it works well if you ever decided to try it

hollow jolt
#

problem is just that if you want to swap from assa to sub you have to get a whole new gear set

nocturne remnant
#

Oh

shy dust
#

necro is the most versatile covenant

nocturne remnant
#

Is Doomblade good for M+? (Hope i didn't misspell the legendary name)

hollow jolt
nocturne remnant
#

Guess Doomblade it is

hollow jolt
#

Doomblade very versatile

#

good in pve and pvp

nocturne remnant
#

That's what i'm looking for

mossy sable
#

Imagine if you crafted Zold before Doom became good

#

Then got stuck with Zold

hollow jolt
#

imagine you crafted the rotten legendary and 1 week later it got nerfed :D

shy dust
#

i mean

nocturne remnant
#

Imagine if you crafted Zold because you're an hunter x hunter fan

shy dust
#

you deserved that tone

#

if you crafted rotten solely for pvp youre a moron

mossy sable
#

Imagine playing WoW still

#

Let's be real here

hollow jolt
#

truuue

nocturne remnant
#

Imagine having a gaming pc in 2k21

mossy sable
#

I looked at you discord links

#

And umm

#

Wanna explain that 3rd bnet account name?

hollow jolt
mossy sable
#

Oh and the 4th

#

The 4th took me a sec

hollow jolt
#

its just eh

#

overwatch related

mossy sable
#

Pff overwatch is such a weeb game

#

Thats why I play WoW

#

Way better

hollow jolt
#

who are you lying to

#

wow is good game

mossy sable
#

Uh

hollow jolt
#

okay im just a pvp player thats why i say game bad

#

pve seems pretty good for assa

mossy sable
#

Look at the time

#

I uhhh

#

I need to go

#

Or something

#

Uhhh

hollow jolt
mossy sable
#

Ignore my unbroken chain of wow subs

vagrant hamlet
#

Is there a way to only sim a 3 min execute?

cerulean nest
#

is zold a must-have for higher m+ keys as sin?

#

or is it neck and neck with MA

peak jungle
#

Looking at the pins, and speaking of M+, I had no idea that Zoldyk/MA/Doomblade were all so close in DPS. I had assumed Zoldyk was miles ahead for some reason.

low girder
vagrant hamlet
#

Cheers

low girder
#

And I wouldn't recommend doomblade in m+, you get no benefit on pulls of 4+.

#

Zoldyck and MA are strictly better

cerulean nest
#

yeah, but how close are those two?

#

if I'm using MA am I at a noticeable disadvantage?

gloomy knoll
#

i honestly still don't understand how doomblade sims so high in M+ when you literally never use mut at 4+ density

low girder
#

Not really, about 1%

cerulean nest
#

kk cool

low girder
gloomy knoll
#

ah

#

so it's fake news then

#

imagine real keys being 50% single target

low girder
#

Not fake, the number is real probably, just no benefit on trash lol

gloomy knoll
#

in the keys i've run the amount of time i spend single targeting stuff outside of bosses is quite low

#

definitely not 50%

low girder
#

Jk 1/3

#

It's a 2m boss

gloomy knoll
#

that's maybe more plausible

halcyon zealot
#

does zold pull ahead of MA on fort weeks? seeing how mobs spend more time below 30% hp, or are they still very close

gloomy knoll
#

monkahmm i could see a key with that much ST

balmy condor
#

It’s 33% boss, 50% single target

low girder
#

Oh

gloomy knoll
#

ok so nvm fake news

low girder
#

Welp

balmy condor
#

There’s a difference between those

#

Mob deaths are timed randomly in dungeonslice

low girder
#

Is there a mini boss thing in there?

#

Ah

#

Oh 1-3

#

I see it

sturdy merlin
#

Hello guys i've been trying to make a shadowstep+kick macro but kick only works if i'm in kick range before i cast shadowstep. Is there a way to fix that ?

low girder
#

Afaik zoldyck is ahead all the time anyway

balmy condor
low girder
#

Yeh but on 3 it would still mut so some benefit there

honest heath
#

Is it better to craft doomblade on shoulder or gloves if I don't mythic raid?

low girder
#

if you won't get mythic stone legion shoulders it doesn't matter which slot

#

whichever you'd like

gusty mirage
#

Just go with the slot that sims best

honest heath
#

Ok cool. I know the shoulders from slg are like bis but wasn't sure if even the heroic ones would factor into the decision

low girder
#

nope, 'cause you could get 226 hands or shoulders out of m+ chest

gusty mirage
#

It’s the ilvl that makes the stone legion ones bis

low girder
#

so whichever you have lower of

gusty mirage
#

233 vs 226 from other sources

low girder
#

i'd make that slot probably

#

it being monday i'd probably wait until your reset

#

see what you get

#

then craft

gloomy knoll
#

@balmy condor does nightstalker snapshot rupture?

#

for the damage amp

low girder
#

yes

balmy condor
#

Of course

#

It’s like a subt garrote

gloomy knoll
#

neato

balmy condor
#

But for ns rupture

honest heath
low girder
#

ye

gloomy knoll
#

i kinda miss the legendaries in legion

#

that gave you two talents

#

playing this ma ns torghast build is kinda fun xd

balmy condor
#

The legendaries in legion that gave talents?

gloomy knoll
#

yea didn't we get a vigor one or something

#

it'd be neat to revisit that idea

low girder
#

yeah the ring

#

well

#

one of the fucking 4 legendary rings

#

lmao

gloomy knoll
#

xd

gusty mirage
#

I can’t wait to see what bullshit borrowed power blizz recycles for 10.0

Except you need to run visions of yogg to collect the currency to upgrade them

#

Am I gimping myself if I take doom blade for m+ as I also raid with assa too?

dark crag
#

10.0 goes right into the future and wow gets renamed into world of starcraft

halcyon zealot
#

i mean just craft a 190 zoldyck, can make a r1 every week basically

balmy condor
cerulean nest
#

might be a dumb question but how does MA react with bleed/poison ticks?

low girder
#

they all crit for the duration of MA

#

no snapshotting shenanigans

cerulean nest
#

that's what I wondered, gotcha

compact pumice
#

If you made an MA for PVP/Outlaw then you can use that for M+

pliant apex
#

Just got skulkers wing and will be replacing sins.. since it doesn’t line up with vendetta CD, how do I use skulkers aside from opener ?

kind talon
#

on cd

compact pumice
#

just on CD, it isn't affectd by stuff anyway

loud niche
#

are we going back to NF in 9.1?

low girder
#

'tis week 2, so i'll go with as it stands currently probably not, but

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

balmy condor
#

Wouldn’t that be a plot twist

low girder
#

inb4 massive NF soulbind buffs

Niya herbs who?

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

I think you answered your own question

spice spire
#

Fair

gusty mirage
#

but I'm also curious

indigo mulch
#

Why are all the top logs on sire doing ep and vigor? =o

#

Is there a specific reason to run that? Isent it bad to miss out on blindside?

#

For sire mythic that is

stoic needle
#

serrated bone spike is absolutely cracked in torg

#

3x unceasing chain link + the sniper power + NS +MA

#

sit at 50yd range and just one shot any mob that looks at you funny

#

this was with 2 people as well so it'd do even more damage proportionally when you're solo

#

i'd SBS from stealth, cancelaura SND, cast it again for another chain link buff, stealth, repeat

heavy trail
#

Sure is rough getting accepted at 202 into anything 10+ lol; it's "never" happened even though I have some timed already haha. i guess if i want to run some I need to make some friends or downgrade my 13 key lol

stoic needle
#

blizzard fixing spaghetti code? never

heavy trail
#

Is there an addon that improves lF so you can filter keys by zone or by key level ?

stoic needle
#

IF?

#

there's a weakaura

heavy trail
#

LFG sorry fat fingered

stoic needle
#

ah

#

this one is good

ionic kelp
stoic needle
#

damn you beat me to it xd

#

you're probably applying to keys with melee already

#

and yeah also just get your ilvl up man

#

you're obscenely undergeared

#

not to say you can't time a key, but nobody wants you because of your gear because there's 50 people 215+ who are applying

#

they have no way of knowing that you're a decent player

heavy trail
#

Thanks!

#

So far in my 10+ that simply just hasn't been the case lol the exact opposite and when I am pushing I underperform because i get all sweaty fat fingered and nervous 🙂

#

But

#

I hear you 🙂

spice spire
balmy condor
#

No u don’t

spice spire
#

To this day

balmy condor
#

You always go through so much care to not ping on replies

spice spire
#

No ily, I hate the spaghetti coding

#

I find it annoying tbh. NOTHING I reply to is that important

#

Lmao If I feel I want an answer, I’ll ping. Otherwise, people get enough of them 😛

balmy condor
#

Yeah I guess

#

Idk it’s weird to not see the reply with a ping

#

I miss enough replies tbh

spice spire
#

99% of the time, I’m on mobile, so I just have to click a little button before I reply lmao

gusty mirage
#

Wait you can reply without pinging?

#

I feel like a degenerate now

heavy trail
#

I tried to do a level 1 am i missing something after about 16 or so I kept getting almost one shot by the trash. Do you need to get certain anima powers to do OK at the end ? never did that part before. (The twisting corridor version, the other 8s are a walk in the park)

gusty mirage
#

I’m sorry for pinging you wonderful humans pepehands

balmy condor
gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

I actually prefer it tbh

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

Also the shadowstep finisher one is huge

heavy trail
#

I think that was the issuje didnt get much defensives ones

spice spire
#

I know when I was actively recruiting for two weeks I was getting pinged nonstop and it was a lot, so I try to minimize my troll responses kekw

gusty mirage
#

The health ones and the ones that lower vial cd + give you cloak/evasion/feint helps a ton. As well as the one that extends their duration

heavy trail
#

cuz like on the 8s i can generally almost stealth the boss as long as i have the fleshcraft one

stoic needle
balmy condor
stoic needle
#

I still have to actually pay attention during the later floors even at 225

spice spire
#

So ping you for everything, got it

stoic needle
#

But in general, try to get the powers that buff your hp, and the ones that give you your defensives when you use crimson vial or when you shadowstep

spice spire
#

@balmy condor 9.1 sims when? kekw

stoic needle
#

Try to get lots of stacks of unceasing chain link

#

@balmy condor deathspike sims when? peeporiot

gusty mirage
#

Also playing sub might help because of soothing darkness

#

It’s actually an insane heal if you’re under geared

stoic needle
#

I need to know exactly how unethical my spec will be in 9.1 kthxbye

low girder
#

soothing darkness is bis in soulforges

heavy trail
#

yeah i am sure sujb would be more optimal

stoic needle
#

Also, you can change specs and talents at the broker floors inside the bubbles

heavy trail
#

i just enjoy assassin more

stoic needle
#

Sin is pretty good for torghast too

gusty mirage
balmy condor
stoic needle
stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

And full clear every boreghast run I do

low girder
stoic needle
#

I highly recommend leeching poison for torghast

gusty mirage
#

Leeching poison is nice

#

Get out of my head @stoic needle peepoGun

spice spire
#

Sick, I was trolling but that’s amazing. It’s so fucking early and you’ll have to redo it 500 times I’m sure but I digress kekw

low girder
#

sub optimizations were POGGA

stoic needle
#

Inb4 all of the Rogue legendaries get remade in the new build

gusty mirage
#

Whispyr’s a slave to the sims

low girder
#

if they also apply to sin though it'll be a sad day

stoic needle
#

Stop optimizing the obedience apl I don't want any reasons to go back to venthyr Madge

gusty mirage
#

Koji has him locked in his basement just simming things 24/7

heavy trail
#

@stoic needle atm 190s zold and MA. I have 3.5k SA though

stoic needle
gusty mirage
#

That’s why whispyr doesn’t sleep pepehands

stoic needle
#

MFD > CT from stealth

heavy trail
#

true could give that a go

stoic needle
#

It's really fucking powerful in Torghast

#

Especially once you get a few stat boosting or damage amping anima powers

#

Always always always take first steps or jack of all trades if you see them

#

And there's another power that I can't remember the name of that heals you when you stealth and gives you damage for a few second after you leave stealth, that one is good too

#

Vein rippers is pog but hard to use solo

stoic needle
#

The vanish cdr and kills cdr vanish ones are good as a pair

stoic needle
ionic kelp
#

i guess as a last resort but like it never really felt impactful when i was actively doing torghast

stoic needle
#

It gives more damage than most of the random powers

#

Especially if you stack it

low girder
#

the only real issue with it iirc is it doesn't work with vanish

#

it has to be real stealth

ionic kelp
#

ya thats why i didnt like it

low girder
#

kinda like the shield conduit

ionic kelp
#

rather go for red inks or something similar

stoic needle
#

I mean u don't vanish much anyway

low girder
#

but i rarely ever vanish in torghast

stoic needle
#

Oh yeah red ink is a must have

ionic kelp
#

but i also only do floor 1 of torghast now and skip 2-5 lol

stoic needle
#

Seems to be kinda rare for a common

#

I avoid doing Torghast not as a boost so I usually have to clear a path to the end of every floor for my boostee kekw

#

Getting paid 100k to get your weekly soul ash > doing it normally

hollow venture
#

People actually pay for torghast carries?

heavy trail
#

the fleshcraft one is all ya need for the 8s really though i guess not the case on twisting corridors lol

balmy condor
heavy trail
#

@ionic kelp Yeah it's nice to skip. makes doing torghast on any class except my druid/rogue/hunter to be mind numbing lol

balmy condor
heavy trail
#

need IO to update so these fat fingered lazies will gleefully accept my 203 arse with the shining new 10+ completions showing roflcopters

#

Why do a 9 when you can do a 10? 🙂 lol

gusty mirage
#

You should never do a 9 over a 10 unless you absolutely have to. It’s harder

heavy trail
#

Maybe I should try and do my 13 spires the only reason I don't is i figure no one will join since im so low geared

gusty mirage
#

are you EU or NA ral?

heavy trail
#

Yes oxi that's my point I figured that out over the last few days

#

NA

gusty mirage
#

I’ll help you build your IO on my vdh 🙂

#

They’ll take you if you got a tank with you

#

I promise you that lol

heavy trail
#

yer probably right 🙂

gusty mirage
#

Osh and bodeeny and I were queuing double assa rogue and people gladly took us

#

oxi#1489 add me and we’ll run some keys this coming week

heavy trail
#

High IO tank will help since people want itnice and easy

gusty mirage
#

My tank’s got a baby IO right now, only 950 or so

heavy trail
#

I am 699 should go up a bit since I timed my SD 11

#

I dunno why but I get nervous generally only when pushing harder keys. Still OK but it's always an anxious struggle lol

gusty mirage
#

It’s alright, it’s normal because you know it’s a bit harder than your comfort

heavy trail
#

That WA is solid you guys recommended

gusty mirage
#

We’ll get you some fat IO this coming week

heavy trail
#

Thanks a lot

#

is it a decent week for keys i didnt check the affixes

gusty mirage
#

It’s not terrible, storming inspiring

#FreeWhispyr

balmy condor
#

It should be syncing with stat-trinket

fleet anchor
#

I don't care about Sub APL improvements

balmy condor
#

But it just doesn’t

#

From what I’ve seen

fleet anchor
#

That's Fuu's department

#

😄

heavy trail
#

Isn't this stuff going to get clunky when the blizzard IO shows up ? i wonder what wil lhappen lol

balmy condor
#

I’ll do sin later this week

fleet anchor
#

I mean we already sync though

#

So I doubt it will really make much of a difference. The only difference is it needs an expression update to have a better base cooldown estimate in the Vendetta sync line

balmy condor
#

Unless something’s changed in the last 3ish weeks, IQD was casting on cooldown

#

So the second cast hit a shiv, and that’s pretty much it

fleet anchor
#

Talking about Obedience

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Yeah

#

That shouldn’t matter

stoic needle
#

with 4 of us and a healer you're guaranteed to get something

#

bodeeny and i dont need anything from keys anymore

heavy trail
#

I am sure you guys going to embarass me lol oh well haah

stoic needle
#

don't sweat it man

#

if anything take it as an opportunity to learn

#

to see what you you're doing and what you could/should be doing

@stoic needle Appreciate the kindness and will be fun I am sure.

Is Subtlety stronger than Sin at the moment and will it be the top spec for St moving forward into 9.1?

low girder
#

definitely not right now, the buffs will make it much less of a chasm

#

in 9.1

#

should be fairly close on single target

neon halo
#

Hi guys!
Looking at coming to play rogue come 9.1 and wondering how aff is atm or am i better off gearing another spec?

balmy condor
#

sin is the current go to in raids

#

sub is looking quite good with buffs though

lost horizon
#

Affliction rogue pretty good

#

Need more dots

neon halo
#

i suck badly with sub, always have so im glad to hear sin is doing well

#

sin is fine in m+ too atm too?

balmy condor
#

its okay

#

outlaw is better

#

but that's outlaw

neon halo
#

yeah true, outlaw always has been the goto for m+, well for a good while anyway

lost horizon
balmy condor
#

it's a possibility

torn atlas
#

Why be a pirate when you can be a rogue.

lost horizon
#

I can't even talk shit, if cov swaps were like talents I'd probably be slappin sin in raid too

#

Heck

#

Whispyr has played to much yatzy in his days to hate anything containing dice

lost horizon
#

I haven't played sin since before prepatch, but I'm like 99% sure nothing's really changed

low girder
#

Since before prepatch? Nope not really lul

balmy condor
#

8.3 and 9.0.5 sin plays identical

#

no changes

lost horizon
#

Honestly as much as I like more buttons to press, kinda nice how little they've fucked with sin

balmy condor
lost horizon
#

At least since I started playing

what can you even change on that talent? lower cooldown? transform it into malefic rupture from aff?

#

or just buff damage while dot timer remains the same

#

I think Whispyr had some sims with low cd Exsang and it's still worse than Alacrity lol

low girder
#

He has sims of a 20s cd exsang at 126% haste and it still loses lol

#

It'd need a dmg amp of some kind yeah

hollow escarp
#

or move Alacrity somewhere else YEP

low girder
hollow escarp
#

baseline might be too much

#

but idk, it's still something you have to maintain in some scenarios

#

but usually you don't even need to track it

low girder
#

Some sort of malefic rapture type thing would be nice

#

I don't want it to be always bis necessarily, but competition would be great lol

torn atlas
#

Give me some reason to even look at that talent row haha

hollow escarp
#

would be nice, but it's kinda first world problems right now

#

considering other specs and content PepeLaugh

low girder
#

yeah, sin's in a great spot, it's just a wishlist lol

heavy trail
#

hmm got vest of concealed secrets thats not a bad one ti think

#

so this paladin tank runs the entire dungeon impatient, sure the healer isnt the best but he keeps running ahead and pulling stuff. wipes them a few times and then we still manage to time it and I just mention nicely to him that he could slow down a bit and let us actually get to where he was before pulling even bosses...and he goes nuts on me saying "fuck you man KSM, I am running my bro, it's a 9 only LMAO. I guess some people are sensitive to feedback even if it's in a nice way 🙂

hollow escarp
#

about that, don't type "..." when somebody misses the hook in NW at 3rd boss pepLaff

heavy trail
#

No doubt lol i seen folks do that haha

balmy condor
heavy trail
#

Actually what was hilarious was mr KSM was so impatient that just at the end of the portal area in this TOP, he jumped off the ledge instead of taking the portal and died. Was freaking hilarious

low girder
balmy condor
#

yeah but the APL is severely unequipped to handle no cooldown exsang

low girder
#

that's fair

balmy condor
#

either way

#

no matter what you do to exsang

#

it don't work

low girder
#

malefic rapture it

balmy condor
#

bleeds just don't do enough damage

low girder
#

ez

vestal wren
#

exsang is just functional worse

balmy condor
#

yup

compact pumice
# balmy condor no matter what you do to exsang

It’s kind of weird that they have shit like that on the talent row. I mean they must have some numbers, maybe some excel sheet somewhere, where they found that row roughly equal in terms of power/usefulness. Wonder how they would justify that row’s existence.

rose violet
#

You must be new to this game

vestal wren
#

i mean

#

ct could be a spec ability, and the entire row is not... that great designed

hollow escarp
#

pretty sure it's a result of alacrity being dropped there

vestal wren
#

HB is just (like the legendary power) bad designed

#

and PB is undertuned, but also boring

low girder
#

that's a different row from exsang though

#

but i see your point

vestal wren
#

exsang just does not translate well into the game now

low girder
#

they ripped out TB to add to shiv and saw both were used during BfA and were like oh, this row is fine. just drop alacrity there

#

SS? what's that?

vestal wren
#

venom rush would need a buff to be relevant

#

and exsang should be replaced with kingsbane or sth that works better with the spec

#

as for what its worth, exsang is quite good optimized in the sim and still isn't super good

#

but it was even in BfA a niche talent we ended up using on very high haste levels

low girder
#

i mean even if we had BfA haste levels we wouldn't use it now

#

had more to do with SS existing

#

bleeds just aren't well supported dmg wise in the base kit

#

they just loop in energy to do dmg with the rest

vestal wren
#

ss did give you more incentive to use it

#

we used exsang very early in bfa because we snapshotted the high haste from galcallers

low girder
#

like i said earlier whispyr had sims of 20s cd exsang with 126% haste and it still lost to alacrity

vestal wren
#

and very late, but iirc even without ss

#

idk, you probably would need to rework exsang to make it good

#

i don't see it coming back in the near future

low girder
#

malefic rapture prayge

#

you'd have to do a lot more with how that would work and how much of cd, etc

vestal wren
#

VR could be compatitive if it got buffed

low girder
#

but i think the idea is good

vestal wren
#

put VR from 8 -> 10 or 12

#

and it suddenly becomes relevant

low girder
#

yeah

#

all things i think just won't happen, especially now. the spec is in a really strong spot, so they have no reason to look at it

vestal wren
#

vr on 12 seemingly still loses to alac

#

🤔

low girder
#

lmao

vestal wren
#

vr on 14 would make the spec quite a bit faster (apm)

#

but 8 -> 14 is quite a huge buff, so i don't think that happens

low girder
#

pair that with a nice dashing scoundrel

#

we sub now

#

whispyr's nightmare

compact pumice
#

Tbh, a nerf to alacrity is way more likely then

vestal wren
#

they already nerfed alac in bfa

hollow escarp
#

it was 20% haste?

compact pumice
#

Right. Was that row balanced then?

#

Prob not

balmy condor
#

let sin be slow

low girder
#

it was only on outlaw and sub tbf

balmy condor
#

you fucks

low girder
#

and sub rarely if ever ran it

balmy condor
#

remove alac and VR

#

they both suck

gusty mirage
#

venom rush omegalul

gloomy knoll
#

what did venom rush used to be

#

was it like

turbid harbor
#

haste didn't increase tick rate of our dots while it was 20%

gloomy knoll
#

poison on crits

#

gave energy

#

or something

low girder
#

it was extra energy on venomous wounds

balmy condor
#

venom rush used to be more energy on venmous

vestal wren
#

it was:
2% stacking up to 10 (pre bfa)
3% stacking up to 5 (bfa alpha)
2% stacking up to 5 (release)

low girder
#

and was where PB is now

turbid harbor
#

it used to be 10 energy per bleed tick up from 7

gloomy knoll
#

ahhh

#

yea i never understood why they changed that

turbid harbor
#

well, now 8 as per latest patch 😄

low girder
#

because it did roughly what alacrity does now

gloomy knoll
#

oh true

vestal wren
#

vr needed to be 10 secs in beta

low girder
#

it dumpstered the rest of the row lol

gloomy knoll
#

honestly

#

35 energy mutilates

#

would be litty titty

vestal wren
#

not sure if changing legendary would make vr with 10 instead of 8 relevant

low girder
#

idr what else was there anymore though

#

CT was still there

#

but i don't remember what HB replaced

turbid harbor
#

yeah but then haste became x5-x6 better for us with hasted dots

#

so alacrity became auto include

low girder
#

yep, went from dead last to first

gloomy knoll
#

i'm just gonna say it

#

make ct baseline replace it with shrouded

#

there i said it

vestal wren
#

marked for death 😉

low girder
#

oh, fuck me

#

it was MFD lmao

hollow escarp
#

mfd was last row yeah

#

because we had the 10 cp talent

vestal wren
#

^ from legion

hollow escarp
#

anticipation was so weird

turbid harbor
#

anticipation was great

shrewd night
#

DFA memes

low girder
#

it got nerfed pretty hard going into legion

shrewd night
vestal wren
#

anticipation was removed because its to similar to deeper iirc

gloomy knoll
#

blindside is actually a good talent i like it

low girder
#

current blindside is good ye

balmy condor
#

hemorrhage SAD

vestal wren
#

and moving mfd to the energy row was quite a good idea

gloomy knoll
#

what was hemorrage?

inland glacier
#

How good is inscrutable device trinket for sin?

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

good but only if you have the right build for it

low girder
#

arguably bis

hollow escarp
#

gushing wounds PeepoShake

gloomy knoll
#

oh wow

shrewd night
gloomy knoll
#

that looks fun as fuck

low girder
#

did that thing ever get used

gloomy knoll
#

was it bad?

balmy condor
#

it got used on sub

low girder
#

i don't ever remember using it

#

oh

balmy condor
#

because multistrike bleed tick advancement

hollow escarp
#

I think it was the play on bleed build

inland glacier
#

Fuck I traded to a mage yesterday after m+ :(

hollow escarp
#

or was it?

low girder
#

yeah but that's the legion sin talents

turbid harbor
#

i always used EP when exsang was used

low girder
#

idr ever using it

balmy condor
#

oh

#

then yeh

#

bleed build

gloomy knoll
#

bleed build sin is best sin

shrewd night
#

Nuh uh

vestal wren
#

sub had this in legion:

gloomy knoll
#

envenom sin is alright cuz big chonky crits

low girder
#

i think bleed build was almost always EP

shrewd night
#

Poisonboyes all the way

turbid harbor
#

maybe hemo was best super early like pre-NH

gloomy knoll
#

but bleed is fun

turbid harbor
#

but people never ran hemo in raid

gloomy knoll
#

i mean ep makes sense for bleed build

low girder
#

and then once we figured out how bonkers busted agp was we stacked mastery and took MP lol

gloomy knoll
#

just 10% on all dots all the time

shrewd night
#

I think there was only one dude believing in the bleedboye prophecy in legion

#

aint that right @lone junco

hollow escarp
#

they should have made outlaw more bleed focused and let assa more poisony

gloomy knoll
#

i played agp in nighthold

vestal wren
#

sub lost hemo in transition from wod -> legion

low girder
#

yeah

gloomy knoll
#

honestly

#

i miss vanishing into rupture

vestal wren
#

tbh i think outlaw ended up quite decently

low girder
#

i do remember in EN running exsang briefly

#

mostly because of blood of the assassinated

gloomy knoll
#

vanish rupure feels so good

#

chonkeh bleed

low girder
#

you'd do NS snapshot stuff

#

with it

vestal wren
#

the only thing to complain is tuning and probably some complains about rtb

hollow escarp
shrewd night
#

Out of all the NS memes and you didnt mention poison knife

hollow escarp
#

as sin

shrewd night
gloomy knoll
#

new rtb poopoo

low girder
#

ye but with exsang lol

vestal wren
#

people remember the snapshotting in atbt

hollow escarp
#

sl rtb > bfa rtb

gloomy knoll
#

but overall outlaw is fun to play

vestal wren
#

but forget the bug in NH

vital haven
#

dude just buff buried treasure and grand melee

hollow escarp
#

no 🧢

vital haven
#

like come on blizz

low girder
#

yep my nythendra farm kill

gloomy knoll
#

oooh

#

spicy

low girder
#

why do i have an eye of command in december

#

lol

vital haven
#

wait venom rush was specced into at some point

#

damn

gloomy knoll
#

wasn't venom rush

low girder
#

yeah that was the extra venomous wounds energy

#

at the time

gloomy knoll
#

as it is todai

low girder
#

i can't spell today

shrewd night
#

That reminds me, the 1 energy memes

fathom swift
#

i dont remember any of that legion stuff

#

what was anticipation

hollow escarp
low girder
#

combo point store

vital haven
#

it stored 5 cps

#

or something like that

low girder
#

it was 2 or 3 in legion

#

it got nerfed

vital haven
#

oh rip

fathom swift
#

oh

#

it was like the 10 combo point talent

low girder
#

it was like overcap protection

hollow escarp
#

got amanthuls 1 month before bfa sadboy

low girder
#

ye

fathom swift
#

yeah i remember

low girder
#

same thing

#

just nerfed

#

also that build didn't last long

#

come shoulders

#

idk why i have leeching

#

lol

hollow escarp
#

why not?

vestal wren
# fathom swift what was anticipation

you basically had a 5 cp buffer zone of cp as a buff, and once you used a finisher you didn't end on 0 cp but on the amount of stacks you had on the buff

hollow escarp
#

similar to how enha shaman now? hmm

shrewd night
#

???

hollow escarp
#

or I might be misunderstanding that spec

shrewd night
#

the fuck are you on about

low girder
#

it worked like maelstrom basically yeah

#

could spend up to 5, could have up to 10

shrewd night
low girder
#

or 7 in legion

#

i think

balmy condor
fathom swift
#

yeah i remember that now

#

just kinda blocked it from my memory

low girder
gloomy knoll
balmy condor
low girder
#

jesus

shrewd night
#

"yes, it worked as if you had another resource system with 10 as a cap instead of five, big smort"

fathom swift
#

that is kinda similar to current enh maelstrom stacks tho

gloomy knoll
#

amanthuls was the dumbest fucking thing they ever put into the game

#

actually just -400 iq

hollow escarp
#

and it wasn't even that good for sin

low girder
#

this seems to be a sale run

#

that i played sub on

#

for like half of the nighthold bit

#

lmao

#

ran leeching the whole time, idk

hollow escarp
#

I had leeching when I did The Chosen

low girder
#

wtf is this

#

this is 7.1.5

vital haven
#

damn

low girder
#

idk what i was doing

gloomy knoll
low girder
#

think i had all the leggos

#

lmao

vital haven
#

thats a long ass day dude

gloomy knoll
#

farmin leggies

hollow escarp
#

^

low girder
#

reasonably sure i had them all

#

at that point

gloomy knoll
#

i used to fly around broken shore opening chests

#

lookin for leggos

vestal wren
gloomy knoll
#

honestly

vital haven
#

when could you buy leggos

#

in legion

low girder
#

7.3.5

hollow escarp
#

7.3.5

vital haven
#

jeez

gloomy knoll
#

having legendaries be acquirable from all content was some of the funnest shit in the game

hollow escarp
#

we were farming daily heroics for ash

vestal wren
#

you could buy legendary items when atbt was in farm

vital haven
#

so it was just all rng before that?

#

damn

gloomy knoll
#

yea it sucked when you didn't get what you wanted

hollow escarp
#

not ash, w/e the currency was

vestal wren
#

so not during legion, but after nobody cared anymore

gloomy knoll
#

but having that chance of every single little thing you do possible give you that juicy leggo

#

just made the game so much for fun for me

#

i did literally all the content

low girder
#

i mean sure but also getting shoulders as my 9th leggo

#

sucked ass

gloomy knoll
#

yea

#

if they could find a way

#

to mix both

#

somehow

hollow escarp
#

I think we had allied races before legendary vendor lol

vestal wren
#

i got bad luck

gloomy knoll
#

or just put something behind all the content it'd be really great i think

#

cuz it just made the game worth playing

low girder
#

i killed cenarius with feint pants and prydaz before it got buffed

#

never forget

vestal wren
#

and was basically having rly bad legendary powers up till after nh progression

gloomy knoll
#

yea my rogues last leggo was mantle

#

it made me reroll mage

#

xD

low girder
#

meanwhile my DH got the 90% hp belt or whatever

#

and then anger of the half giants

#

lmao

vestal wren
#

so the legendary system did only "punish" me for bad luck by not allowing me to compete in dps for
this ignorable time period of 3 raids

#

was a great system

gloomy knoll
#

maybe like

#

the shit you need to upgrade your leggo comes from random drops on all content iuno

#

i just wish there was something

vital haven
#

rng legendaries, titanforging, farming ap for every spec

#

content in legion mustve been amazing

low girder
#

dumping a bunch of AP into outlaw

gloomy knoll
#

it was so fun

vestal wren
#

ap farming was not as big

gloomy knoll
#

legion was fucking god tier gaming

#

best wows ever been imo

low girder
#

and then outlaw got nerfed to the ground on mythic week

vestal wren
#

people did farm ap massively for en

low girder
#

good times

vestal wren
#

and en ended up rather easy

gloomy knoll
#

every single dungeon

low girder
#

pre-tomb was miserable for me

#

just

gloomy knoll
#

in legion

low girder
#

awful

gloomy knoll
#

was an absolute masterpiece

low girder
#

i almost quit

#

multiple times

#

from burnout

vestal wren
#

NH was a great raid

gloomy knoll
#

NH tomb antorus all really good raids imo

vestal wren
#

but depending on your luck you possibly still had not gotten your bis

low girder
#

en -> tov -> nh was the most brutal progression i think i've ever done

#

just 9 months straight

gloomy knoll
#

also

low girder
#

of prog

gloomy knoll
#

the blood of sargeras vendor

#

was one of the coolest things

#

in the game ever

#

it made me as a new player not have to spend cash on gold

#

i could just do content and get matts by trading bloods

vital haven
#

im actually sad af that blizz just destroyed artifact weaps

#

as someone who didnt play legion

vestal wren
#

what could mean sth like "ye sry, you had bad luck but that's a you problem... your dps is only ~15% lower due to that, but you surely can make up with skill for that"

vital haven
#

cant even see

low girder
#

yeah that part sucks

#

same with the mop cape/wod ring removal

gloomy knoll
#

yea it can't be something that's

#

that powerful

#

tied behind rng

vital haven
#

leveling in legion was sad af getting all the weapon enchants or w/e

#

and them being useless

#

like bruh

low girder
#

you don't even get the story part of why wod happens

#

anymore

#

because the leggo ring quest is gone

#

there's zero mention of kairoz

#

lol

vital haven
#

at least they learned with bfa

gloomy knoll
#

yea

worthy iris
#

do i save flag for vendetta or use it off cd?

gloomy knoll
#

i mean it has to be something tied to player power that's behind all content or it's just not really worth the same but

vital haven
#

longstrider speed boost LIVES FOREVER

gloomy knoll
#

if it was like maybe a few things that were all like

low girder
#

off cd unless you know you won't lose a use

gloomy knoll
#

1%ish upgrades

#

and not 15% i think it might be fine

#

i dunno i just really enjoyed that doing all the content mattered

low girder
#

all the essences still work if you wanna farm visions for your mount you never got kekw

#

kinda fun having AR proc like

#

all the fucking time

#

between vision and celerity

vital haven
#

azerite and essences are still god tier for speed set

gloomy knoll
#

permanent zoomer pirate

vital haven
#

3x longstriders

#

and unbound minor

hollow escarp
#

the fact that we can still use azerite essences outside SL is pretty nice, I can heal the dragon in ICC now

#

or crazy damage in timewalking

low girder
#

i used to use the dumb bandage cannon thing on her

#

idk how that works out since the squish

slender berry
low girder
#

also that ^

hollow escarp
#

it happened last tier as well

#

before corruption vendor

vestal wren
#

i agree

#

corruption early was as bad as the legendary system

low girder
#

idk what you mean, i definitely didn't kill n'zoth with a 445 belt with t3 expedient on it

vestal wren
#

but was fixed super fast, legendary aquirement was fixed by everyone having all legendary items in tos

hollow escarp
#

I got lucky with a tendie dagger from weekly chest early on and that kinda carried me until vendor, but I played casually anyway

vestal wren
#

and a vendor was only introduced at the end of the xpac then it wasn't relevant outside of getting your alt chars the legendary they want

low girder
vital haven
#

fucking blizz drip feeding the corruption availability

#

oh now its guaranteed from visions

#

oh now theres a vendor but wait its on a rotation

vestal wren
#

i think thats a very blizz way to fix things

vital haven
#

at least daggers had guaranteed tendies

#

which was decent

low girder
#

if you ever saw them

#

i didn't until farm pepehands

hollow escarp
#

I think it has to do with the product type and some internal team that decides based on player interaction that it's good to have timegate rotations like this to ensure resubbing

vital haven
#

not even heroic? jeez

low girder
#

heroic i did

#

but wrathion gave me a gushing wound dagger

#

so i can't bitch

hollow escarp
#

it sounds like a conspiracy meme, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was a thing as it makes sense

low girder
vital haven
#

oh nice

low girder
#

i will however bitch about raden fists until the end of time

#

14 fucking kills

gloomy knoll
hollow escarp
#

^

#

but they can find a balance

#

so you don't get bis gear from a treasure chest

vital haven
#

wasnt there a picture circulating here about raden slappers having leech corruption on it

gloomy knoll
#

i think if they had

#

end game pieces

hollow escarp
#

they kinda broke this world too much with anima being useless for character progression

gloomy knoll
#

that could be dropped from anything

#

but only provided like

#

.5-1% upgrades

#

instead of 10-40%

#

would be ok

low girder
gloomy knoll
#

and it would make the game worth playing

#

outside of raid logging, pushing keys, or arena climbing if those are your thing

low girder
#

Ask whispyr to explain that upgrade system from some game he played

#

He showed it all on stream once

vital haven
#

i remember when i got a wq trinket from bfa

#

that titanforged

#

50 item levels

gloomy knoll
vital haven
#

went from 355 to 415 or some shit

low girder
#

Yep

vital haven
#

in bod tier

low girder
#

Had people in the raid with normal titanforged tier

gloomy knoll
#

i honestly didn't mind war forging

low girder
#

That was higher than mythic

hollow escarp
gloomy knoll
#

titan forging was dumb af

low girder
#

Wf is whatever

#

Wod system was fine

gloomy knoll
#

and when it's an intergral part of your spec yea that doesn't really work

#

but like if you put in some bad luck protection

#

and small power pieces

#

i honestly think it could work really well

hollow escarp
#

I liked artifact power peepoShrug

vital haven
#

i mean

gloomy knoll
#

i liked unlocking parts of my weapon yea

vital haven
#

some people did ye

low girder
#

i despised it

gloomy knoll
#

the grind not so much

vital haven
#

but some people really didnt

#

so thats why they moved away from it

low girder
#

as someone who routinely plays all 3 specs

#

AP was awful

gloomy knoll
#

yea it made alts impossible lol

hollow escarp
#

I liked artifact power so much that I still do the maw on my main and callings on alts PepeLaugh

gloomy knoll
#

but they could easily make ap character wide

low girder
#

they did

gloomy knoll
#

so if you get 1 point it go's into all 3 specs

low girder
#

and then they added azerite powers

#

for some reason

hollow escarp
#

most of my alts are like 190-205 ilvl and 200 ilvl conduits just by casually doing callings each day

low girder
#

my DK is 213 and i haven't played it in like 2 months

#

the legendaries are the rough part, mostly

compact pumice
vital haven
#

i do find the grind regarding ap to be a bit overblown though

hollow escarp
#

the issue with alts is that heroic gear feels not worth pugging for and doing low m+ is annoying

vital haven
#

like i remember the last time i had to specifically grind ap was at the beginning of 8.2

low girder
#

in BfA? maybe

slender berry
vital haven
#

after that it was w/e

heavy trail
#

got about 3500 SA and only a 190 of MA and zolds. Do I hold it or make something to practice on or upgrade is the question haha.

gusty mirage
heavy trail
#

Ok 🙂 So kinda worth it to spend 750 on the poison one

compact pumice
#

Well you would spend an extra item in the end. Assuming you intend to take both to rank 4 at some point that would mean you would've used 3 items instead of 2

#

But that's not that huge now that the first two ranks are quite cheap

jolly phoenix
#

Guys, can’t find this info. Shiv, do we use it even if we’re capped on combo points? Do we just use it on cd ignoring cp? Also, zol and ma are recommend gp and m+ but the dungeon slice sim in the pins puts doom blade within 0.4% of zol and above ma. Is this outdated or is there some interaction with conduits that changes the ranking considerably?

low girder
whole mason
#

you may plan your actions before shiv, but, yes, use it even capped

jolly phoenix
#

Awesome thanks for the help 🙂

compact pumice
#

But if you tell me you did the same damage with Doomblade in something like ToP as you did with zoldyck I wouldn't be that surprised

low girder
#

ToP is probably the only one I'd say you can run it

hollow escarp
#

zoldyck also feels so bad to play on SD because of last boss but in reality you get a lot of value from the rest of the dungeon for it to not matter

heavy trail
#
