Legion vendor in class hall

#

For fun when you don't wanna use a spensive' pot

balmy condor

But it’s trash

dawn ivy

if it was good in classic/bc its still good now

limber lion

#

That’s the dumbest fucking thing I’ve ever heard

nimble tartan
#

he onto something....

grizzled root
#

oil or stone?

#

in raids

limber lion
#

Stones.

#

!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

thistle tea sludgefist pillar.....

#

omfg...we breakin the meta tonight baby

limber lion
#

Stop.

last imp
#

i picked up the thistle tea anima power in torghast one time and i immediately forgot about it

nimble tartan
#

but imagine if u remembered...

last imp
#

i probably still would not have used the thistle tea

balmy condor
#

I actively avoid the power

nimble tartan
#

i never understood how come its a tea what made rogue and tea a thing

#

that feels more monkish

balmy condor
#

If I see it, I’m not taking it

last imp
#

it was a one off one tbh and i was like "why not"

thorny pond
#

How much energy over x seconds would it have to be to be even useful?

limber lion

#

thistle tea is an item from vanilla, that's why it's a thing

short hamlet
#

I use it to be alert and have a crisp, sophisticated beverage 🍵

nimble tartan
#

cev im always here for u if u need someone to speak to

bleak sky
nimble tartan
#

it do be

balmy condor
#

It does

bleak sky
#

F

nimble tartan
#

honestly tho try it out

#

can never hurt to try

balmy condor
#

No need

#

It’s awful

short hamlet
#

Yeah it does probably close to nothing in actual real PvE encounters. Can be fun in wPvP, but ultimately it's just for funsies.

nimble tartan
#

yeah but u can be the guy who thistle tea'd

short hamlet
#

I will not let the fun police 🚓 take all my fun away

nimble tartan
#

like im the guy who had wound poison on an slg kill prob the only log of all time

#

forever to be memorialized

bleak sky
#

what if you press them both fast enough so blizzard doesn't know you've already used a pot

nimble tartan
#

that could work

short hamlet
#

Whispyr currently missing when this disc was dead prior to 9.0.5

dawn ivy
#

i remember when blizzard mentioned a reworked crimson vial system and people thought we might get thistle tea back 😦

thorny pond
#

CV with mixable addins for self buffs would be sweet

nimble tartan
#

what if blizzard let us use shadowy duel on bosses

#

1v1 cant hurt my friends

dawn ivy
#

what so the boss cant target the tank

#

and can only target you

nimble tartan
#

yeah dude i pop evasion

dawn ivy
#

so it slaps you and you die

bleak sky
#

evasion and you win

#

ezpz

nimble tartan
#

literally rogue raid cd

whole mason
#

Heard Ion was talking about rogue's utility for raid in the interview. I wonder.....

nimble tartan
#

thats what im sayin...

dawn ivy
#

yeah thats how i want blizz to give rogue raid utility, not a slight dmg reduc or a slight dam increase, i want to break all potential fight mechanics

last imp
#

i really hope they make rogues viable for mythic progression again

short hamlet
#

Have you guys been using the pick pocket buffs for crimson vial that they added in the rework prior to launch?

dawn ivy
#

theyre viable right now

last imp
#

more viable*

balmy condor
#

I hate this channel

warm parcel
#

I hate you too

#

🙂

whole mason
#

I believe in 7.2 they said something like rogue's utility for raid is their own survivability.

balmy condor
#

Aw thanks boo

nimble tartan
#

hello weak i miss us i hope your'e still blasting in wow

#

on ROGUE

grand ridge
#

We already have thistle tea as assassination it's called vendetta

I sure am

Rolling as high as I can for bench etu

nimble tartan

does flowi still play

warm parcel
#

he does

nimble tartan
#

👼

dawn ivy
#

i do wonder if theres any chance theyll throw whatever crimson vial rework they had planned into future patches or if they just dropped it entirely

nimble tartan
#

hear me out ok raid cd called buddystep 3 min cd i press it and all my buddies get one charge of shadowstep to use

short hamlet
short hamlet
nimble tartan
#

whats the vial rework

thorny pond
#

They planned to give vial different usages abilities based on what, pick pocket?

last imp
#

pick pocket?

#

how would that end up working?

grand ridge
#

Lol

short hamlet
#

You pick some pockets, then vial goes brrr

thorny pond
#

Pick pocket some addin from different mobs, I may be misremembering but it never even hit a server to test

nimble tartan
#

what if they give tricks of the trade target a cloak on a 3 min cd bro...

#

im makin plays tricksin my boys

last imp
#

that sounds like an interesting mechanic which means blizz definitely isn't adding it

placid pagoda
#

Guys in 4+ should I FOK + crimson then let the crimson bleed tick and then refresh or should I just spam!

nimble tartan
#

idk i cant play with ct cause i dont know the opener ill let someone else handle this 1

dawn ivy
#

well it seemed like it was a guarenteed system because they announced it with the likes of warlock curses coming back, paladins auras, etc.

grand ridge
#

Weave in additional ruptures garrotes and envenoms

silent stratus
#

it doesnt sim better for a fight such as huntsman btw

#

or let me rephrase

#

how can u say it sims better

vital cove
#

what is the cirumstance you would use a one h instead of dagger in off hand

#

im new to rogue

nimble tartan
#

u need 2 daggers

grand ridge
#

That's blasphemy all we use is daggers

vital cove
#

i swear i have seen people with a 1h off hand

#

i know i have seen outlaw with a dagger off hand for sure

velvet imp
#

@fallen arch which WA pack do you use? mine dont track pandemic

nimble tartan
#

oh yes this is the sin channel

#

an honest mistake

whole mason
#

Sin=two daggers.

vital cove
#

and likewise with sub?

fallen arch
grand ridge
#

A while ago sub would sometimes use weird offhands with a dagger mh to satisfy the backstab requirement, but that was several expansions ago

red plaza
#

Outlaw = 1h MH/1h or dagger OH
Sub = dagger MH/dagger or 1H OH, but dagger is better because of secret techniques and how sub generates CPs

nimble tartan
#

my wa's light up no matter what at like 8 seconds so i just let it rip

thorny pond
#

For me personally? Treating it as a true 2 target fight isn't great because Barghast isn't in the whole time and our comp has crazy cleave, which I feel most groups probably do so that 1st and 3rd dogs melt, I'd rather get more finishers in for PB procs.
I sim it as cleave add and PB comes out ahead.
@silent stratus

nimble tartan
#

prob not the best but its what i do

#

i shall look into luxthos wa's though i use afenar

#

and afenar's fr fr do not pandemic shine

ionic kelp
#

they do

nimble tartan
#

i swear mine always shines no matter what at 8 seconds

edgy dune
#

Is Sin the best rogue spec for raiding?

short hamlet
nimble tartan
#

might have to update its been a few years

ionic kelp

prolly

Does anyone know how many ruptures you wanna keep up on multi target (4 target available)

nimble tartan
#

ok what about if there are 4 targets ok you rupturing the 3rd target and u gotta build up to rupture the 4th but shiv comes up do u hold shiv until u build and rupture 4th target or let it rip 🤔

balmy condor
#

You shiv

nimble tartan
#

ok ty

#

full send shiv

kind talon
#

Shiv on cd every time yep

silent stratus
# balmy condor You shiv

do you wanna shiv ur prio in case there is a main boss and a lot of adds? (ex: shades of huntsman)

velvet imp
#

@fallen arch cheers mate

limber lion
balmy condor
nimble tartan
#

i love full sending

silent stratus
#

I guess shiv prio, go back rup adds, and then back to prio

limber lion
#

Yes exactly.

nimble tartan
#

i also full send envenoms im clippin all day i refuse to wait must go fast high apm player

silent stratus
#

I usually hold shiv until I build all the ruptures

#

but it seems it's not worth

limber lion
#

If there's 1 target that lives for 3s

silent stratus
#

from what ur saying

limber lion
#

And a target that lives for 20s

#

you Shiv the one that lives 20s

balmy condor
kind talon
#

You don’t “build ruptures” on shades in the huntsman fight

balmy condor
#

You can

silent stratus
#

yes, my point was if I have to shiv instantly when it comes instead of build rup -> shiv -> full prio

kind talon
#

You can maybe throw out a 2-4 cp rupture

nimble tartan
#

im thinkin of fights like sire denathrius when all the cabalists out

silent stratus
#

the shades lasted ~5 secs in my group, so I sbs -> rup them

nimble tartan
#

and im running around having a field day

nimble tartan
#

and shiv come up

limber lion
#

You Shiv, you don't wait.

halcyon zealot
#

if shiv is on ur bars without a number saying it’s on CD

#

you press it

balmy condor
silent stratus
#

clear, thanks

silent stratus
#

for inerva small adds

balmy condor
#

If it’s like 10 seconds sure

limber lion
balmy condor
#

But 5

#

Is giga questionable

nimble tartan
#

idk how to parse inerva

kind talon
balmy condor
#

Shouldn’t be dotting things that low

silent stratus
#

just full ST?

#

prob sbs?

nimble tartan
#

it doesnt work for me bro

balmy condor
#

If you’re hitting them, you would envenom

limber lion
#

Rupturesnipers, get down

balmy condor
#

Rupture sniping, time and again, shown to be a loss, and people still do it

#

Smh

kind talon
#

You want to mutilate the shades by the way

#

That’s the only change on huntsman

balmy condor
#

Why?

limber lion
#

Because the Doomblade bleed double dips.

kind talon
#

Because doomblade interacts weirdly with the dmg inc

balmy condor
#

Is that still not fixed

kind talon
#

Double dippers

limber lion
#

Nope

kind talon
#

Yep

nimble tartan
#

omg ty for the hot tip

limber lion
#

Same on Sludge.

#

And Sire adds

kind talon
#

Same with huntsman at 10%

balmy condor
#

What a fucking scam

kind talon
#

Yep

upbeat geode
nimble tartan
#

i will now skyrocket dps

kind talon
#

Doom blades 😎 📈

balmy condor
#

Omr have you ever said something of value

nimble tartan
#

why are u bullying me lol

silent stratus
#

can u explain this doomsblade thing?

balmy condor
#

I’m just curious after watching you meme into the void for the last 15 minutes with no response

kind talon
#

Omr do u want help with inerva parsing?

silent stratus
#

just mutilate shades?

#

no env?

nimble tartan
#

im literally just chattin

balmy condor
#

With who

#

Nobody talking to you

nimble tartan
#

?? i asked a questino about a scenario i didnt know the answer to and u answered it

limber lion
# silent stratus no env?

You do everything normal, but instead of Mutilating Huntsman, you Mutilate the Shades. So you still use CT/Rup/Gar/Env normally.

nimble tartan
#

if you're having a bad day dude dont take it out on me

silent stratus
kind talon
#

Yes

limber lion
kind talon
#

And Barghast @silent stratus

silent stratus
#

and I guess no rup/gar on shades if they last <10secs

kind talon
#

Just don’t bleed them

balmy condor
kind talon
#

Keep it up on huntsman and the dog

#

And mutilate the shades

grave dock
#

what exactly is the double dip doomblade bug with damage amps?

kind talon
#

Sec I’ll find it

grave dock
#

thanks

nimble tartan
#

its ok i wont take it personal whispyr we can both move on from this transgression with a clean slate

#

next time dm me

balmy condor
#

But mr officer why did you pull me over? I wasn’t speeding for those 200 meters over there, nevermind the last 10 km where I’ve been going 170 in a 100

nimble tartan

name a law i broke!!!

#

This is a graph that shows doom blades damage @grave dock

nimble tartan
#

i havent been trolling

kind talon
#

On huntsman fight

#

Guess where the shades are?

grave dock
#

huntsman is already a buggy fucking mess in terms of parsing to begin with

kind talon
#

Ye

limber lion
#

Eh, it's not that bad.

grave dock
#

no, it's bugged

thorny pond
#

So anything that adds a % increase gets that then @limber lion ?

kind talon
#

Everyone’s dps goes up by like 400 at the end of the fight at least

grave dock
#

the broken bond debuff is not supposed to happen on mythic

nimble tartan
grave dock
#

and it sometimes does not happen

#

but usually does

grave dock
#

if you don't get the debuff, however, you're cooked

nimble tartan
#

everyday before raid i look up nukkz logs cause i think hes a great rogue with hot parses

kind talon
#

Just send your log

thorny pond
#

Do things like prides in M+ or venth vials etc or just raids we know of?

kind talon
#

If u want help

nimble tartan
#

ok i dm u

kind talon
#

Ok

#

U can send it here too

#

People way better than me at analyzing logs

nimble tartan

im afraid of being bullied again by community figures

#

Bro don’t agitate Whispyr please

Nah never do just curious how deep it goes

halcyon zealot

poor omr

got a target on his back

silent stratus

or doomblades bug makes it mut > env lol

grave dock
warm parcel
#

yes

grave dock
#

lmao

limber lion
#

Pretty much

grave dock
#

excellent work

warm parcel
#

always happens with any damage amps

#

and always takes some time for blizz to fix it

grave dock
#

I don't remember the last time it was a big issue but you're usually more in the numbers trenches

#

nerd

warm parcel
#

It never was a big issue

#

But in legion with ago and/or lego ring we had so many different iterations of this

grave dock
#

this tier does have an unusually high amount of dmg amp on fights

warm parcel
#

And the doomblade was the tier in NH too

#

So we had that too

grave dock
#

yea

limber lion
#

It's just some extra padding on top.

#

Nothing major.

stoic needle
#

sad that it doesn't work on sludgefist

limber lion
#

The doomblade dot is still quite small.

grave dock
#

i'm trying to think of amp mechanics in nighthold and I can't remember any

thorny pond
#

Draught

warm parcel
#

Ago with the doomblade tier

grave dock
#

oh yea

warm parcel
#

It lingered a fair time but was eventually fixed

grave dock
#

I don't think bosses had any mechs like that though

warm parcel
#

na

grave dock
#

it was a good looking tier set too

warm parcel
#

It was mostly them missing whitelists with ago poison

grave dock
#

and such a good raid

warm parcel
#

Legion raids were nice

nimble tartan
#

remember that time fok on cd was best in slot dps

arctic walrus
#

give kyric my regards

nimble tartan
#

ok vel i will

#

glad to see a friend around here..

grand ridge
#

Id love a tier set bonus that buffs our aoe

#

Give us an assassination m+ meta

#

Tier

torn atlas
#

I dunno, all this talk about "rogue needs raid utility" and "Sin m+ meta" makes me feel like people will actually expect competent things from me.

balmy condor
#

Expecting more than simping for the mage?

stoic needle
#

mages are dead in 9.1 wdym

#

they simp for us now SMILERS

balmy condor
#

Doubt

subtle tundra
#

mages arent dead

#

just fire is now weaker

#

frost is still popping 😉

balmy condor
#

I’m also fairly sure fire is still crazy even after the nerf

Bfa sin m+ was pretty OK around middle xpac

#

With the SS powers

nimble tartan

ss was so cool

What's the goto build for it nowadays?

Seems like subtlety/MA has counter synergy

does "recuperator" work with assa, since we're never casting SnD?

nimble tartan

runic terrace
#

thanks mate!

halcyon zealot
#

a pin for everything

nimble tartan
#

i love recup cause my healers refuse to heal me so its actually relevant for me

runic terrace
#

we're rogues and therefore of no use - of course we're not getting any heal^^

nimble tartan
#

not even one rejuv bro..

halcyon zealot
#

they’re doing you dirty

stoic vale
#

hey, which conduit you guys use for m+ as assa? im necrodude

fleet anchor
#

Sudden Fractures for everything

hollow escarp
#

when I'm simming to compare covenants it's always the SBS one

stoic vale
#

okok

#

thank you

fleet anchor
#

It's quite close to the Shiv one but since Fractures is better for multi-target, not much reason just not to use it

nimble tartan
#

how much do u need to do to outdps hungering destroyer mechanic

last imp
#

does anyone who's been on the ptr have an idea if venthyr is still going to be ideal in 9.1? i read the pin but i'm not sure what exactly it means 145_bugsweat

i know nothing is certain until 9.1 actually goes live but i'd like to have an idea of whether my anima grinding is going to end up being worthless next patch

balmy condor
#

venthyr looks to still be slightly ahead of necro in single target

#

necro obviously winning on anything more than 1

last imp
#

gotcha

#

i'm planning on mostly raiding on my rogue so single target will most likely be my priority c:

#

thanks!

balmy condor
#

I wouldn't cut necro short though

#

necro is still quite good

last imp
#

oh for sure!

#

i'm venthyr right now though so it's nice to know i most likely won't need to switch covenants

sonic schooner
#

For raiding bosses are not always single target, they in fact rarely are tbh

last imp
#

yeah that's fair too

kind talon
#

Venthyr will also get the potion shit tho

sonic schooner
#

Always few adds here and there, stuff like that

kind talon
#

From theotar

#

Very good conduits at the moment on ptr

last imp
#

ooh

#

i'm still gearing since i just started playing wow again a month ago and only just started playing my rogue again last week 126_phosnervous

stoic needle
#

that theotar potion seems like trash ngl

low girder
#

just gotta stack the pots on non-raid days and you can have one sick raid night

#

can swap off theotar for raid too kekW

#

or trade them to your friends

#

unless they fixed that

stoic needle
#

WTS theotar flask 10k

low girder
kind talon
#

Oshosi

#

It’s literally free

#

How is it trash?

#

Just use nadjia

stoic needle
#

because it only lasts 1 hour

kind talon
#

Yeah

#

3 potions 3 hours

#

Beat night of your life

stoic needle
#

with a 1 day cd

kind talon
#

Best*

stoic needle
#

theotar basically has no capstone trait with that

kind talon
#

Yeah which is why you go nadjia

stoic needle
#

but nadjia is bad in m+

kind talon
#

Because you get the potions and then swap off

low girder
#

he's just a swapoff cheese soulbind for raid now

stoic needle
#

watch it goes away if you die

#

yeah thats garbage

low girder
#

it doesn't afaik

kind talon
#

Free 50-75 second pot

#

Free 3% stat

#

“Yeah it’s pretty bad”

stoic needle
#

i think the design of it is abysmal

short hamlet
stoic needle
#

fuck everyone who wants to play theotar as an actual soulbind

kind talon
#

Fair enough

#

What about general draven memebind who never sees play?

short hamlet
#

Theotar gang, get this man

kind talon
#

Atleast theotar is potion simp, draven is just nonexistent

stoic needle
#

draven is a good tank soulbind at least

#

venthyr has had dogshit soulbinds since release and this is just the icing on the cake

last imp
#

theotar is one of my favorites character wise so it's kinda sad that his soulbind isn't that good

stoic needle
#

agreed

Hey ass's, considering trying out assassination for the first time and have a quick legendary question.

I currently have MOMA crafted and sufficient soul ash to craft Doomblade. Does it make sense to start learning the spec and trying it out with MOMA and holding off on crafting Doomblade until we see how PTR shakes out with leggo's?

Appreciate any insights.

balmy condor
#

we have no indications that our legos are going to change

halcyon lynx
#

For doomblade stats we want Crit Vers or Crit Haste? ( asking as in Pinned msg it says, it should have same stats as SLG shoulders)

balmy condor
#

the pins say the stats on legendary shoulders are equal to the stats on legendary hands, which is why there is no difference

#

all sin lego's for pve are haste/crit

dawn ivy
#

wait hold up we could have been calling MA leggo mommy this whole time

low girder
#

no

#

no we couldn't

lost hamlet
red plaza
#

If you plan on playing arena where doomblade is good in 3s and most 2s, haste/verse is also a good option

Best stats are whichever papers are cheapest on the AH

secondary stats in SL pepLaff

whats the APL for CT? use on cd min 2+ targets?

hollow escarp
#

even on st

#

refresh outside shiv

low girder
#

yep

fleet anchor
#

also fwiw, changing all my gems/enchants to Mastery and my legendary to Vers/Mastery

#

Is less than 1% damage

#

🤣

hollow escarp
#

I noticed that as well

stoic needle
#

Sure but that's just gems+enchants

silent stratus
#

how can u parse 100 w/ <1% dmg less? 😮

#

||/s||

fleet anchor
#

Sure but like the difference between legendary BiS stats and WiS stats is 0.3%

stoic needle
#

What if you changed all of your gear to vers/mastery gear where applicable

fleet anchor
#

It's not anything worth getting overly stressed about

stoic needle
#

Oh yeah true

#

That's fair

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

Like sure, you're right that obviously we want to aim for Haste/Crit when possible on pieces if we can

hollow escarp
#

I still swap out 6 gems every time I change content for no reason than useless optimization

fleet anchor
#

Just saying it's not really catastrophic

thorny pond
#

I'm sure if everyone ran their stat weights and posted it right now they'd all be close on weight if we averaged it

fleet anchor
#

To have a couple things non-optimal

#

Haste was my best until this week now it's 3rd

#

RIP

thorny pond
#

Same actually but not by much

fleet anchor
#

Stat weights are volatile, even changing a couple gear pieces can dramatically change them when they are this close

thorny pond
#

1.69.. nice

hollow escarp
#

do I have enough time to get last row of bonesmith in 21 hours? before my next raid? hmm

balmy condor
#

Easily

fleet anchor
#

And even in this case where Haste isn't my best

#

Like Sire+Darkvein ring are still BiS for me

#

So that's just why you have to top gear it

thorny pond

It does feel bad taking off either of those

hollow escarp
#

inerva ring sims the best for me on all specs even if I have the Xymox vers ring

fleet anchor
#

My general rule of thumb so far has just been "gear for Haste, gem for Crit" and it seems to be working out OK 😛

hollow escarp
#

good thing I socketed that ring

stoic needle
#

Both inerva and sire rings are downgrades for me according to droptimizer

thorny pond
#

What rings do you have?

stoic needle
#

Which doesn't make much sense but whatever

fleet anchor
#

Strange

stoic needle
#

Bloodoath signet and ring of the false accuser

#

Crit/haste and crit/mastery

thorny pond
#

Bloodbath makes sense. I'd imagine you have high haste though

stoic needle
#

17%

fleet anchor
#

Then again I'm Necro so dunno how things are looking for Venthyr

shy dust
#

IQD

#

makes gearing

#

very weird

stoic needle
#

Yeah I'm necro as well

shy dust
#

as venthyr*

fleet anchor
#

Odd

shy dust
#

strange as necro

fleet anchor
#

Nothing been close to Sire ring for me

thorny pond
#

IQD mastery proc feels ok

stoic needle
#

Actually I think when I did that sim I was venthyr

#

Let me check again

hollow escarp
#

I can't play sin on SLG because I'm assigned to drop dps cooldowns on 2nd goliath pepeHands

#

it dies faster than 20 sec

stoic needle
#

I don't see the correlation

hollow escarp
#

I need to hold vendeta in opener

#

like 1 min +

shy dust
#

Necro IQD

#

does not care for stats

#

meanwhile swapping one gem for IQD as venthyr

#

would be like 50 dps loss

#

as necro it was irrelevant for me

fleet anchor
#

2nd goliath? Like in P1?

hollow escarp
#

yep

fleet anchor
#

I don't think we ever used any particular cooldowns on that one.. usually it died too fast rather than the other way around lol

hollow escarp
#

we haven't passed first transition yet pepLaff

fleet anchor
#

But either way, P1 damage is not that big of a deal on SLG

#

In terms of which spec to run

#

Both Outlaw and Assassination will look like zero dps compared to most specs in P1 😛

hollow escarp
#

yeah, once we get it done properly

#

for now the other law rogue is topping meters

#

but wipe meters don't say much

uneven plume
#

Outlaw can reach 10k on that fight without PIs

#

Gives us law rogues hope

fleet anchor
#

I honestly think nowadays that Assassination is just straight better than Outlaw on SLG nowadays. But don't tell the Outlaw guys I said that.

hollow escarp
#

it's more stuff to think about

halcyon zealot
#

hey atleast you guys didn’t have to play ur dk for slg 🙂 🙂 🙂

hollow escarp
#

like ads die to fast so it's wasted ruptures

halcyon zealot
#

we killed last night tho so i’m finally free

dusty garden
#

is there some bug with slice and dice on WCL?

dusty garden
#

or was there?

fleet anchor
#

Assassination does so much more boss/Goliath damage than Outlaw

#

And still does decent AoE if you take CT

fleet anchor
#

I did Outlaw for prog on SLG

#

So I'm not super biased

dusty garden
#

no slice and dice in this log

loud light
#

if slice is up before combat begins

#

and never drops

fleet anchor
#

But I don't think I'd play Outlaw on it nowadays

balmy condor
nimble tartan
#

same i did outlaw prog farm sin

dusty garden
#

how do you precast slice on sludge

balmy condor
#

You hit one of the critters

#

Or a turnip

hollow escarp
nimble tartan
#

omg cheaters

dusty garden
#

all buffs drop when u start encounter right?

loud light
#

oh it's this log, I think they pulled huntsman wing trash

hollow escarp
#

nope

balmy condor
#

No

dusty garden
#

alright

hollow escarp
#

there are critters in Huntsman rooms

fleet anchor
#

I mean if you tunnel the Goliath you'll be top damage on it easy

balmy condor
#

Why would buffs drop when you start encounter

hollow escarp
#

don't waste all

fleet anchor
#

Vendetta or not

hollow escarp
#

yep

#

gonna try tomorrow a bit

#

skirmishers die so inconsistently that I'm not even sure if it's worth dotting them

stoic needle
#

yeah like

hollow escarp
#

just CT

nimble tartan
#

go full pad ct on commandos

hollow escarp
#

we have hunters for those

stoic needle
#

I vendetta on the first goliath and still am top damage on the 2nd

#

the only goliath i'm not top damage on is the first

#

because everyone else has their CDs up

nimble tartan
#

i do vendetta boss vendetta goliaths then vendetta boss last phase

stoic needle
#

fucking monks cringe

hollow escarp

the beginning of p2 goliath is our little plaything cutie

@stoic needle

youre simming with a socket

oh, thanks

having 6 socketed items feels so good

#

no more maw

#

i dont maw anyways

hollow escarp
#

until I realised I have 3 other rings to socket

kind talon
#

just do what i do

#

and dont maw

#

because im not w1st

hollow escarp
#

well, that's the benefit of world first raiders

hollow escarp
#

they don't need to farm the maw

#

because they clear the content before they get 2 sockets OMEGALUL

stoic needle
#

inerva is +9 and sire is +23

#

not bad

#

yeah the maw is more useful for non w1 raiders because you need the extra stats to make up for lack of skill KekW

kind talon
#

nah im just saying

#

im not wr500 player

stoic needle
#

when you're nearly all 226 and not reclearing, sockets are some of the only upgrades you can get on gear

kind talon
#

so im not gonna get benched for someone just as good as me with sockets

stoic needle
#

like every socket is as big as a new piece of gear

#

yeah but what about big number

kind talon
#

big number

#

fuck i shouldve screencapped the dps charts from our plaguefall

hollow escarp
#

pretty sure any good player can outskill the value of the sockets, but I still feel bad when I have "bis" gear and I don't have it socketed

kind talon
#

ahhh fair enough bro

stoic needle
#

plaguefall dps doesn't matter anyway because of borers

hollow escarp
#

still feels bad

#

just like sun king dps

#

you know it's ok, but doesn't feel right

kind talon
#

but what about the fact that u went doomblades for tyrannical boss dmg

#

and still had lowest dps on the final boss?

hollow escarp

because i used my vendetta on the pride like a good boy

I use blind almost on cd lol

stoic needle

that's the thing it's best for lol

ionic kelp
#

same

hollow escarp
#

gonna compensate for no gauge

placid cobalt
#

this may be a dumb question, but when talking about secondary DR at 30%, does it mean only stat u get from gear or also baseline stat count? in other words if i have 10% base crit, do i hit diminishing when i add 20% to it or when i add 30?

thorny pond
#

Also true. Been running as law just for gouge

balmy condor
#

so if you have 1000 crit, and that's the limit until the first dr, and then you get a stat proc from like a trinket for 300, that 300 is DR'd

#

the 1000 is still fine

#

and % increases don't DR either

#

it's just raw rating

thorny pond
#

I know Oshosi

placid cobalt
#

ok but for example just to clarify, on my rogue i got 25% crit, 14% is from gear 11% is baseline of the spec

thorny pond
#

What's leg sweep and ring of frost?

hollow escarp
placid cobalt
#

if i add another 5% i will have put around 19% crit on my gear but my crit will be over 30%, so it gets dr at a lower rating compared to say haste which you have no basiline of?

balmy condor
#

no

#

because your base crit is not rating

#

% increases don't DR

placid cobalt
#

ok perfect

#

so it's 11% base + 30% RATING from gear, got it

ionic kelp
placid cobalt
#

thanks

balmy condor
#

procs and stuff from soulbinds or trinkets

#

which are "grant X crit" would DR

#

"grant X% crit" would not

placid cobalt
#

only stuff that gives rating not flat percentages

#

got it thanks

balmy condor
#

exactly

#

np

thorny pond
#

Council question. Are you saving any sbs charges or dumping on boss?

nimble tartan
#

im not a math guy but if all my gems sim between 1% of each other isnt it always bis in slot to go crit gems to rng a parse since you only get one shot one opportunity

ionic kelp
#

best in slot in slot

hollow escarp
#

smh my head

nimble tartan
#

just somethin to think about

hollow escarp
#

but if we think that way, vers and mastery are guaranteed damage increase Hmmmge

nimble tartan
#

ok BUT this is abotu ONE pull no matter what if u crit absurd amount u parsin high why not give us a bit more of an edge...

hollow escarp
#

yeah, it's the same thing that happened in BFA, most top parses were expedient but you had a few lucky guys with twisted appendage

steep reef
#

think outlaw might be better suited for u so you can 6 buff rng parse.... here in #assassination we in it to win it every pull

hollow escarp
#

lol

nimble tartan
#

omg..

#

what is expedient i didnt play nyalotha

ionic kelp
#

who can forget the times when top parses for sin were who procced pb the most

#

definitely not rng based

hollow escarp
nimble tartan
#

crit is the new poison bomb...

ionic kelp
hollow escarp
#

we don't really have that much rng in damage

nimble tartan

if someone crit 50% and u crit 30% he gon lap u

u either crit or u dont

Yes we were all given Japanese class names, our teacher liked doing that 😛

safe barn
#

koji, do you recommend CT for deny prog?

kind talon
#

ohhhhh u took japanese class

fleet anchor
#

I think these days CT is pretty decent

#

For Sire

kind talon
#

😛

#

do u still speak it

fleet anchor
#

I think it actually helps with P2 a lot

kind talon
#

ye it helps alot with p2

fleet anchor
#

And the loss in P3 is very minimal

kind talon
#

because remornia damage is sire damage

fleet anchor
#

PB value gets a little messed up with the movement

hollow escarp
#

it's also good for some pad damage in P1

fleet anchor
#

PB probably technically still marginally better for P3 but like

#

Personally I've been running CT+Blindside for Sire

hollow escarp
#

not really pad considering how ads don't die as fast as they do in HC

fleet anchor
#

And I don't think it's inting or anything

kind talon
#

with all the movement u can lose a lot @fleet anchor

#

from what ive heard

#

in terms of PB dmg

fleet anchor
#

Think CT+Blindside is rather solid for Denny these days

kind talon
#

yeppers

fleet anchor
#

As long as you're still prioritizing CT usage for boss damage

safe barn
#

i feel powerless with EP

#

idk why

kind talon
#

ep is beta

safe barn

i never get the value of that 3s

hollow escarp
#

all the dots during EP hit harder

safe barn
#

ohhh

#

that makes sense

hollow escarp
#

that's why it's preferable in M+

kind talon
#

u can easily fit envenoms into that window depending on how many bleeds you have up as well btw

hollow escarp
#

not only that though

kind talon
#

and melees are hitting harder too

willow rain
#

is Shadowgrasp Totem really as good as its simming? Or is it bait? I only ask, because it's not really showing up as a highly used trinket on Warcraft Logs.

shadowgrasp totem is really good

most top logs have denny/sludge trinkets Sadge

safe barn
#

dreadfire is great

hollow escarp
#

great stat stick

safe barn
#

huh, ep is really getting used on wcl

#

but i guess thats some farm shit

#

not prog

kind talon
#

ep vigor sims very close

#

on singletarget

#

btw

#

its like a 11 dps difference for my profile

hollow escarp
#

not sure if EP on long single target fights is that good

kind talon
#

nah its an 11 dps difference for 5 minutes

#

sec ill sim it

fleet anchor
#

Most people don't have a high ilevel one

#

I have a GV one and use it regularly, it's strong

steep reef
fleet anchor
#

EP and Vigor are almost 1:1 tradeoffs atm

#

However for Sire obviously Blindside has more than normal value in practice

#

I think running EP on Sire is 100% parse strat and kinda inting for prog

hollow escarp
#

for P3 mostly

willow rain
# fleet anchor It is good

thank you, I got a 226 one this week and in sims it replaces my 220 Dreadfire Vessel. I just wanted to be sure since most of the logs didnt have it, but I suppose its just harder to get a high ilvl one.

fleet anchor
#

CT is waaaay less of a ST loss than EP, and that's even across the entire fight not just execute

#

EP is like -2-3.5% or something, CT is only like -1-1.5%

kind talon
#

100%

fleet anchor
#

Which means in P3 EP is like probably -5% or more

safe barn
#

plus i guess having the "control" of the ambush is a great bonus

fleet anchor
#

CT with PB proc loss due to movement is probably less than 1% in P3

kind talon
#

how long is p3 usually

fleet anchor
#

So taking CT imo is basically just free on Sire

safe barn
fleet anchor
#

But I'm sticking with Blindside for a while more

Blindside is still really strong on Sire

hollow escarp
#

no

#

it breaks immersion

stoic needle
fleet anchor
#

But yeah it is really quite funny on reflection. HFC Feral was actually insanely close to exactly the same playstyle as current Assassination

stoic needle
#

I wish we had more types of poison in general

fleet anchor
#

Like almost identical lol

hollow escarp
#

never gave feral a chance

#

but I played it while leveling just like a rogue

fleet anchor
#

Like in HFC it was essentially the same, just keep up Rake (Garrote) Rip (Rupture) in pandemic, use Tiger's Fury (Shiv/Toxic Blade) to buff DoT damage (had snapshots back then but was almost the same idea) and dump CP with Ferocious Bite (Envenom/Evisc) when you had your DoTs going and were gonna cap energy (pooling to max)

#

Swipe at 3+ targets just like FoK, Thrash at about the same conditions as CT lol

#

Even had a set bonus back then to get energy on DoT ticks 🤣

#

Kinda funny

#

Assassination definitely is a lot of very similar muscle memory for me

hollow escarp
#

in 9.0 feral was even tuned better than assa PepeLaugh

fleet anchor
#

Yeah ironically Feral has been WAY stronger since I swapped off it

#

Most tiers

#

Than it ever was when I played it

cerulean nest
#

can I Feint the Dancing Fever jumps?

hollow escarp
#

shouldn't have to

#

if raid cooldowns are set properly

cerulean nest
#

right

#

but will feint help if theyre not lol

fleet anchor
#

I don't remember if Dancing Fever is flagged as an AoE or a DD that hits everyone

#

Would have to check logs

#

It's probably AOE

teal bloom
#

I am thinking of leveling an alt for alt raids and such, do you think if I would enjoy Feral druid if I really enjoy assa?

fleet anchor
#

It's about as close as you can get

#

Without being a yellow name

teal bloom
#

I have to try it out then 😄

hollow escarp
#

and you can also get to see how rogue would feel with convoke

#

unless you go feral venthyr like me

teal bloom
#

Why doesn't rogue night fae ability throw like 12 poisoned knives Sadge

fleet anchor
#

That would be neat

#

I mean Sepsis was obviously way more powerful at one point

#

Probably too much so for Rogue mechanics wise

safe barn
#

i think you can faint dancing fever if you are not the one that jumps

#

something like that

teal bloom
#

I am still night fae because it was so good at the start of shadowlands and haven'

#

t bothered to swap

fleet anchor
#

When Sepsis proc'd true Vanish it had some crazy interactions, but then none of the other Covenants would have been decent without being MASSIVELY buffed

#

So our feedback was to remove that interaction

#

It's just unfortunate it ended up being so boring 😦

teal bloom
#

Would be a bit more exciting if ambush was worth using from stealth

fleet anchor
#

I think I would have made it so the extra thing from stealth did double damage or something

hollow escarp
#

make that ambush apply a 5cp rupture

stoic needle
#

I would've liked to see the world where sepsis vanished and the other covenants were also giga

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I mean the problem there is that they had been aiming at the time to depower Covenants

stoic needle
#

14cp ER finisher pepechortle

fleet anchor
#

Not the other way around

stoic needle
#

I kinda like the 'if everything's op, nothing is' philosophy

#

But I guess they wanted to reign things in after corruption?

hollow escarp
#

diablo 3 style

stoic needle
#

I think they could've hit a middle ground by letting the stealth ability from sepsis give you cto/subterfuge/NS/FW at least

fleet anchor
#

It was during the time where the theory was that they were gonna depower the Covenants to make it less likely that one would be massively OP

#

Problem was that they left a few still massively OP lol

#

hey if im a necrobro is SBS more prio of a generator than mutilate?

You can also do it during shiv with heirmir it's not a huge difference

If you use the first one on pull out of stealth you won't be capped if you use them in every gemstones

what about lust on pull
