first CE ever
Necro lego looks really crazy good for m+, but necro is currently only about 50 dps behind necro in single target
“Go necro” has always been a thing since 9.0.5 really
How does this discord feel about asking to get leaked sub only ui's? Is there some rule against it or is it fine?
mean the weakaura when i say ui

just pay the 5 bucks
Student 
It doesn’t really fall under any specific rule as far as I’m aware, but it’s generally bad practice, frowned upon, and not allowed
Ahh ok, ty for clear answer @balmy condor
No problem
That being said, it probably breaks the discord guidelines more than any individual server rules, rule #17 is prohibited sharing of others intellectual property. It’s a bit of a grey area since they’re making UI’s using addons that aren’t their own, but since they are selling it as their content, I would assume that falls under the category
makes sense tbh, shouldent take more then 1h to make something that looks like what im looking for tho, so guess gotta start 😅
There’s probably 95 versions of some similar thing already on wago
I would start there and maybe edit it to your liking
ahh true, ty for the suggestion
what is the opening rotation for sin on a patchwork fight?
!guide
@worthy iris what covenant
venthyr but i think i got it thank you!

what are the bog standard openers for m+ packs (with MA leggo and talent build from the pins)
with MA leggo you run NS MFD though right
You can do a 4th if you want, it doesn't really matter
Ns MFD feels better to play with MA, but it's not strictly better
Pretty sure it's slightly better with MA specifically
should i make doomblade? i dont have zoldyck
EP/NS/MfD/CT
MfD > CT > Fok > Rupture > fok > Rupture > garrote
Using MfD before pull is a gain for 0-3CP iirc
gotcha
so two ruptures and a garrote
and then just like, maintaining those? adding new ones? dumping envenoms into prio?
After that maintain CT and apply more ruptures
just not sure what to do on longer packs
so straight up ignore envenoms?
interesting, ok
You use envenom to refresh SnD but that's it
okay cool, i was doing it more than necessary then
Prio is CT > Rupture > garrote in aoe
You also maintain CT in single target like a boss
What content do you do?
Keep Garrote on CD basically
@thorny pond m+ and raiding mostly, not really a pvper
If you plan to do most m+ then zold. Raids go doom
Zold does have good raid value too in the mean time. By no means zero sum
aw damn the wing isnt open for zold this week, maybe tomorrow
are there certain stats i want on it? i know youi can choose them
you can spam twisting corridors on layer 3 until you get the right wing if you wanna go that route
just queue and leave
if it's the wrong one
oh really?
yeah
Haste crit or haste vers for zoldyck
I have a 190 doomblade with mastery on it because I was stupid sick and read my stat weights wrong. So you're never far off @glacial bough
Bet you won't be a total Chad and upgrade it to 235
I probably will at some point. I have like one more upgrade then I will
Just in case
Is the necro legendary on ptr?
For the necro legendary does it put the dot on 3 targets when you use it on one?
Correct, and the spike initial hit hits all 3 as well. Very efficient CP generation and spread cleave
And if the other add dies do you get a charge back?
Also correct.
Wow
Yeah it's pretty sweet. xD Nearly* useless in single target but M+ it will be pretty nice if they don't ruin it.
Hopefully but knowing blizzard 🌨
does this mean they've fixed the "only cleaves left" bug lol
How hard is assassination compared to outlaw?
Mmmm, I hadn't noticed that on the PTR, and I've been using it a lot. 
that might've only been in the initial version lol
Possibly yeah, I have been binging on 9.1 Torghast stuff and it seems to be working normally for me. I'd have to pay closer attention to anything weird but it seemed normal. I'll have to double check some of my recordings to see if there are any inconsistencies
they're both fairly easy
They're very different playstyles, so it's hard to say one is harder than another, @dim ledge. Each has their own nuances, though for single target I'd say assassination is easier due to its slower pace and much lower RNG/fluctuation in rotation compared to outlaw.
I find sin more involving during M+
Easier in ST harder in AOE
🤯
I didn't realize the leggo made it dot all three. I thought it was just damage all three. That's so nutters. I'd be very surprised if it goes live like that.
Is Necro way better than Vent in 9.1? (With Legendaries for both) Mythic+ & Raid wise
Mythic plus yes, raid probably not
Hello 👋🏻 your rogue videos are helpful 😊

I see 😮
No one knows what is good in 9.1
No touchy deathspike 
I am skeptical that they will.
It's literally like .1% in single target
Even in AoE, it isn't like it's some 30% DPS gain or anything silly
Like, Arcane has a legendary that is a 20% DPS gain. xD Not that anyone plays Arcane, but yeah.
That's incredible
People are just too used to rogue legendaries being unimpressive that when one is actually good it gets declared to be "OP"
tbf arcane without that legendary is kind of a dead spec in a raid environment 
We still won't be better than monks or other actual aoe classes even with deathspike
True, but Blizzard is letting it slide so even if Deathspike is like 12% in M+ I can't see that being unreasonable. There is a direct trade-off you're making to run Deathspike, and that is giving up virtually all single target gains.
MeAnInGfUl ChOIce 
ye. there's enough tradeoff i think it's ok in this case
It's super fun in Torghast too
Combine that with the Loaded spike power and the 80 yard bone spikes + Unceasing Chainlink and it gets silly. xD 80k Bonespikes from the other side of Torghast. lol
what stats are preferred in m+? is it crit? i know we just sim and wear whatever but if we had to pick a stat would crit be the one for m+?
- that stealth power where you deal like 10% more damage for 5 seconds when you leave stealth. I think that stacks like 3 times. I'm sure there is some super memey stuff you could do with it.
in the pins, crit > haste=mast
The new wings, layers and torments are going to be so free with that LMAO
Just machine gun sbs the whole wing down
Yeah I've already been doing Layer 12 5 gem clears even without any new gear or anything on the PTR, it's pretty easy with the bone spike powers.
Thanks! appreciate the response!
That sucks, I was hoping it would be hard
I also have a lot of the new talent tree open, so that might be part of it
The new torments are ass and I hate them. >>
I'm excited for the new torghast stuff nevertheless, the current version is a snooze fest
I'm glad they're giving it some attention for sure, I just feel like they're missing the mark a bit on things they could be adding/changing.
I really want to see more class-specific powers added for silly weird builds
I'd like to see a plain old difficulty modifier slider
Like
If I want to turn the mobs up to 20
Let me
Let me make their ilvl 300
Torghast Souls 
xD
Looking at the pins there and how it’s saying maintain CT in single target but not during shiv windows, does that apply for vendetta too? Don’t keep it up during vendetta and just pump envenoms?
You should refresh it during vendetta
Easy, cheers legend
They could make it so that turning up the difficulty gets you extra ash just like war mode gives you extra rewards on dailies
So if you want to suffer you can get your legendaries faster but if you don't you get them at the normal rate
Yeah I think the extra floors are where you get the cinders
hmm
But I could be wrong
What are the adamant vaults then
nah i just mean the extra floors beyond 5, you have a video on it. you said it's just "torghast placeholder reward"
No clue, I've done them a couple times. You have to complete a Layer 9 or higher with a 5 Gem rating
lmao
Yeah, it's just a gray trash item right now XD
It would be cool if it was cosmetics
i only just found the video
I took a few days off for M+ pushing so that one just came out today, so it's all good. xD
Finally getting into the 20 range which is cool
i think they've discussed on the preach interview they don't want it to be gear
Sad
so extra ash or cosmetics is kinda the only route they can go
Doing torghast for gear would be sick
With 3x Unceasing Chain Link and the 50 yard bonespike power you can literally oneshot all bosses with a single sbs
From max range
more cosmetics would be nice anyway since TC seems to be uh, dead. unless they add more later on in the ptr cycle lol
That's kinda what I figured too, gear would be a poor choice for reward, but there aren't too many things it could be. Cosmetics/More Cinders/Gear/Anima? maybe
They said they would add more layers to tc later on in the expansion
xD Yeah it's pretty great. Makes it so easy as long as you can stay far away
I hope they add some sick weapon mogs tbh
My guess is a lot of that Torghast/Maw inspired gear will end up in TC or Adamant Vaults, personally.
they could throw anima into it actually
torghast is the only area that doesn't give any
pvp, raids, m+ all give some now
and world stuff obv
I could see anima, since it's not like Torghast is some super speed-farm or anything. If it only comes from Adamant Vaults then you basically have to clear like EVERYTHING in every floor, so it'd have to give a decent amount but relative to the time spent versus other activities that award anima.
yeah if they give it a decent chunk. obviously people would be disappointed if that's all it was, but it could be that + cosmetics
I'm not expecting like Island Expedition levels of cosmetic rewards, but some nice armor/weapons and maybe a some mounts would be cool, I dunno.
Fun stuff
388k XD lol
Tactical nuke online
It's funny because they were garbage before the bonespike buff
Yeh for sure
Yeah the Night Fae ones are pretty unimpressive in most situations too. Kyrian ones are pretty nuts.
Looks like have to switch Cov 😢
The 300% buff really did wonders.
yeah the only one that's good is if you get the sepsis pop + spread ones
idk what the hell's going on there but something's wrong
and it's great
i miss it
Even the fleshcraft explosion one is good. Get a ton of stam buffs, the 50% fleshcraft shield boost and you become a walking bomb. xD
Will there be some system in 9.1 that helps with Cov switching? I already upgraded all Vent to L3....
nothing announced or on ptr, no
The only thing they've added in 9.1 is that when you switch covenants, you get your conduit energy refilled.
the sepsis clap is real fun if you get that combo on ooze boss
Wut.....
They are dying on that hill unfortunately
Yeah that volatile explosion thing is situationally amazing on Writhing Soulmass, but in most boss fights it's nothing.
Oh yeah, Goxul
It was very good early when rogue struggled to solo torghast
now you just kinda blast
But it's obviously fallen off
Hey, I'm new to rogue in Shadowlands. Been looking around at guides and am confused about the fact that the opener consists of Mutilate to build CP rather than Ambush, even with Subterfuge. How come?
!mut
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.
Thanks!
Hey I was checking out Warcraft logs and the rankings and it seems a lot of people are running EP over Blindside. Is EP the new talent choice or is it still blindside for ST and or if lazy?
pins
cheers
Does Doomblade Legendary gain from Zandalari Troll racial skill, if choose the one with bleed
no
👌🏻

this is a single target sim, i do get more value from blindside + stratagem. But tring this out i found stratagem to be very cluncky to me, i found rotation much more comfortable with a cap to 5 combo since the double mutilate crit can bring u straight to finisher sometimes. U recomend following raidbots? Also i found that running sim multiple time the answer is always the same so im guessing it consider the average ammount if blindside proc, so in practice it may be different due to rng right? ty for help 🙂
a simulation runs anywhere from 10-20 thousand fights, so the answer will always be the same. It also adds variance into the fight length, so there's that
BS/Deeper usually is better, and you can trust raidbots for that, but you can play EP/Vig if you would like
there's nothing really wrong with it
it provides some more burst for sludge pillars and such
The difference is so small, so it's likely that you'll see better results with EP/Vig if you're used to playing that and if Deeper Stratagem "feels bad" to play.
oh ok didnt know that, so yeah this make sense with numbers
allright thx very much for answering 🙂
and what about blind + vigor combination? is this bad?
Looking at your sim it's 6 dps less than EP/Vig. So pretty much the same.
allright, then i'll see what im more comfortable with, atm stratagem is not rly working for me maybe i'll consider it it the future
tyvm 🙂
yeah kinda agree with u, i'll do some test and see what im more comfortable with
With ~27-28% of haste Vigor feels like an overkill in some occasions with the energy regeneration for me.
Though EP feels better than BS. 😛
Vigor on fights with expected downtime is great too
Since you have a few more seconds of regen available without capping
you regen faster though
that means that for sire vigor is better because of all that downtime in p3
you mean DS? 
because Vigor can cap faster
nvm
need a coffee

Ya'll forgetting the 50 extra energy cap is more than the extra regen gives over the same period

We need a minimum of haste for ds?
there is not universal minimum, depends on your gear profile

so sim yourself and see if DS or vigor is better
Ok, so we close this forum, the universal answer is "sim yourself" i got it ^^
tbf, most stuff is as simple as that
Hello.What is the best covenant for Sin in M+?
Necrolord
That, or "read the pins" or "check the guide"
Ty
Any thoughts on covenant power standings in 9.1? Do you think the order will remain the same with current info?
Probably, but nothing is certain. No one knows.
When running DS, do you wanna envenom at 4+ during shiv or go 5+?
Assuming Deeper here, you only finish at 5+
So finishing at 5+ is more important than potentially missing an envenom during shiv?
yes
Cool, thanks!
Assa rogue is good in any aspect now?
Yes
so, tell me about that

Why it's good? It deals good damage and does useful stuff
Do u prio max cp envenom over shiv or just overcap 1 cp and envenom after shiv?
always finish max -1
aa
yes, just shiv
shiv combo point doesnt matter
if you have 5 cb (with vigor) and shiv came off cd, just shiv and envenom (overcap)
What would be the best covenant for someone dual-speccing outlaw/assassination? I'm guessing it's between Venthyr and Necrolord?
probably necrolord
venthyr is better for assa in single target, but necrolord isnt that far behind
and any target you add necrolord just becomes better
Oh how the turns have tabled since 9.0. Come to the dark side faeries. You won't regret it.
hi all, new to rogue, does any one know a good plater profile to help with keeping track of multi dotting?
Hey guys, is there a certain Haste treshold I want before going for crit? Generaly doing Mythic+ mostly
I think the best thing would be simming yourself.
pretty new to assassination, just wanted to know if there are any tresholds. ty
You should ask @balmy condor, he loves these kinda questions
But generally it’s haste>crit=>vers>mastery iirc
I joke. Ye i know that much, I'm no muppet.
Well, for m+ that could work
I'm pioneering a way for Vers >>>>> all rogues
Of ur tank likes to pull big
ass I can
Crit is going to be top priority. Mastery gains value with multiple targets
You won't want to dump all your haste for it though
ok, noted
It sounds contrite, but "sim yourself", use DSlice
Thank you
There was a meme floating around "Default discord avatar, can't wait to see what hateful shit he's gonna say"
I wont say your statement super accurate, but when your gut says something 

Meh, I'm a mastery memer, my takes are often wrong and dubious at best with little to no evidence
@odd hazel
Welp, another day, another monke.
?
Question for mythic council prog. Do you throw bleeds onto the two other bosses? Or just keep bleeds on main target? With all the movement can't seem to keep up
Also should I run CT for the adds in p2?
For parsing or for prog?
Prog
for prog u dont run CT
i think u bleed one guy
but i'm not sure
@limber lion you bleed ur main target and one more boss on council right ?
Im leveling my rogue for 9.1. Since we finished mythic Im most likely just going to be doing pvp and m+ for the rest of the patch. Is necro the way to go then?
All are close, necro is very strong though and SBS is tons of fun in my opinion
Yeah, necro seems to be the pick for assa pvp. And it’s better in m+
I spent a little time looking into this and the conclusion I arrived at is that the gains for multi-bleeding are minimal at best.
Um
I seem to fumble a bit with CT when I run it. Do I just forego the other damaging finisher and primarily use CT for multiple targets (like on the sire fight). I'm already trying to basically keep my dots on both sword boi and sire in addition to using CT frequently but I just get my brain crossed when I use it
Bleeding extra targets is like +400 dps to your main target
Practice a bit
I wouldn't call that minimal at best
I'd start with trackers then work from there
ct is just a maintence dot
I'm just trying to understand CT usage
same as rupture
400 DPS from energy gen?
Yes

If 2 targets, is CT worth using?
Yes
if 1 target ct is worth using
The optimal number is 5 bleeds for the most prio damage, but on council that's hard so you just keep garotte and rupture up on the 2nd boss
So should I treat the other finisher as just as keeping up my snd when it's low and only use CT then?
SnD gets auto refreshed with Envenoms
Right but if I'm using more CTs + mechs I've found I'm using envenom much less
Your priority is Bleeds > snd> CT in low target counts like Sire
ideally none fall
Sorry, what CT stands for?
crimson tempest
You can quite easily keep bleeds on sire and remoria
along with CT
especially since Remoria is gone a bit
if you need to recast SnD honestly you probably fucked up else where, but just recast snd its fine
Honestly if you're at finisher cp just go down the list
I am very surprised its 400 dps on your priority target considering its ~30 energy gained per garrote. Rupture is a little harder to evaluate because of it's variability in CP spent.
"do my ruptures need to be refreshed? does CT need to be refreshed?" no,no==> env
add SnD in there if downtime fucks you in some way
Gotcha
ie: the walking section (though you should be able to get to boss fast enough and Throw daggers to get CP for a snd as you land - assuming you need it)
More practice needed. Trying to make the switch for my mythic prog group so just trying to clean up my multitarget
Probably go practice a bit in some M+s to get used to keeping bleeds up and tracking
Just dont overthink it
You're maintaing rupt+garrote on 2 targets
I was wrong, it's actually even more than 400 dps 
@carmine token if adds are messing up your bleed uptimes on bosses in p2, you can consider not garroting them
You should be able to comfrotably garrote 3 targets
4th week in a row my vault has had a 226 IQD
For you sure
But you have to proc mastery with it
Does evasion work on anything in sludge fist?
his auto attacks if things go south 🤷♀️
sigh
if you're looking to troll chains - cheat death is your answer and if you're looking to reduce damage, I believe you can just feint. I dont think anything on that fight needs elusiveness but im going off memory
Thank you
stupid garbage outlaw ring
Evasion works on first boss in SD charge
should i put zold on my feet or legs?
feet if you are gonna mythic raid in 9.1
also true, but SD first boss isnt in the Sludgefist fight so
legs otherwise
cool
ACtually you might be able to evade the charge sludgefist does?
I literally never tried cause u can just physically evade it
the peice you put a legendary on doesnt matter to much
It's the same logic as Doomblade hand shoulder. KT is penultimate boss next tier, drops high pants
been debating crafting a 235 hands for doom but just got a 226 gloves (have doom on shoulders)
so there goes that last idea
It's fine. I changed my slot around to shoulders. Shit happens
finally a 233 weapon
Shoulder doombladers 

What stats are your zoldyk’s 

Haste vers which are bis 
Lmfao ily osh
I've literally never seen 226 gloves this expansion it makes me so mad
I’m a shoulder doomblader and seeing as I’ve been stuck on council for a month now? I’m more than okay with my decision
In sims it shows me doing Vanish > Mut > Envenom whenever I Vanish. Is that correct? 😮 I've always done Vanish > Envenom
Both is fine, it doesn't really matter either way
Probably a combo point thing
I can’t imagine that level of optimizations nets you a significant amount of dps
@stoic needle Hand doombladers 
I'll be the one laughing when I kill SLG and get 233 shoulders
Yeah I had 226 gloves and 220 shoulders, made the most sense for me too 
❤️
And kill mythic KT and get 259 shoulders
Yeah I'll pass lmao
tbh arena is the only reason i'd play TBC
Double rogue was viable though 
when running vigor its usually worth trying to have 5cp for the vanish to rng into env->mut->env - you dont delay vanish to get to cp though. W/ DS it doesnt matter, you'll never get 5cp in one global so you just hammer on cd and get an env in the MA window. with MFD, you just MFD after env to get 2nd env in window.
If you're not getting CE this doesn't matter though, right?
Not really.
I think the argument is it's a 0.3 - 0.5% bump to get the extra item levels from the final boss of the tier
The logic is you get a 233 and a 235 leggo vs a 226 and a 235 lego
thats fair
Well shit. I was going to make my Zoldyck's tonight but maybe I won't put it on pants
My guild will kill the first 3-4 bosses of Mythic, we just don't go for CE
i cant seem to crack 7 k sim for rogue
Eh - for Zoldyck’s it’s a bit different. The stat value of pants is higher than boots
Oh shit, right
I mean
For Doomblade gloves and shoulders are the exact same
You just make it on the piece with mroe stats, and if you end up getting the 233 of that slot, you just remake it
I mean if the 233 dropped you're like not progging anymore anyways
esp this far into the teir
But in the end - If you do aim for CE - that’s kinda whatever man just make it again. I literally don’t do torghast because I have no reason to. I’ll spend a few weeks and remake the piece
I feel like that is mislabeled. But yeah if the larger numbers are part of "garrote and rupture off target" then I'll believe it
it's not mislabled
yeah, only way i'd remake is if i get to mythic SLG and get the shoulders
i've never seen them drop on heroic any way so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the top number is gar+rupture on the off target, the one below is just rupture on the off target, the one below that is just garotte on the off target, and 'no cycle' is no tab mutilating to keep poisons on the other one
those sims are from kojiyama, so they're definitely not mislabled lol
I mean mis-labeled may have been a bad way to describe it. Cryptic? T26_Assasination_ doesn't immediately translate to me as "Full dots on a second target".
Got it. I would've expected it to spell it out super clearly, but if that's a limitation in the system that's fine.
Is this assuming standard ST talents?
yeah most likely
i mean koji could have labled it something else but he just chose not to
can anyone help a rogue out?
With?
can anyone craft a rank 4 shoulder?
ill gather mats for it
i dont have the gold to buy
im broke
Server/Faction EU or US?
You'd probably have better luck hitting up trade chat with your request. I can't imagine there are a ton here from US Barth
so when im simming myself for my vault for mythic +, should i be simming using raidbot's Hectic add cleave or dungeon slice
!bis
why people pick elaborate on den myth?
better on cleave
but cleave its like not that big part of the fight?
for farm it's just more damage overall since p3 dmg rarely matters on farm either
if playing without CT
k
btw CT vs Poisonbomb. big impact on single target dena myth?
I did prog with blindside but swapped to EB/Vigor on farm
k
I think CT could just be more dmg on P3 dena because of all the movements
but thats just my feelycraft
hm interesting
I mean how much damage do you get from poison bomb if he's moved out of it? Lol
do yall still take the general m+ talents even on tyran weaks?
I take BS > EP into tyr ToP but thats a personal thing
generally m+ talents are the go to in m+
PB's st damage is a spit in the bucket compared to what CT does even at 2 targets
what little damage you gain on bosses in tyr, you lose 2 fold on trash, even during tyr
and subterfuge isnt even that far behind MA in ST
so yeah both those talents would stick around
cool!
I've been debating just taking CT for everything lol
well yeah but there are also times the boss is still so
its not that clear cut
I would still go EP/Vig in ToP. Helps on most bosses in there tbh.
It’s still a lot of cleave in ToP
Sounds like too much RNG hoping the boss is still when PB proccs
Ep/(Subt or MA)/Vig/CT
Dungeon slice
It's for parsing
Feels like our main role on prog is to just push boss hp and only use adds for energy gain since others can destroy adds better than us? Obviously cleave is free but just the mentality going into fights?
Yup!
Sin has the best 2 target cleave in the game
So our add damage does matter
oh yeah I did like by far the most damage in our raid in P2 as sin
yeah, our p2 damage is really really good, and p3 damage is also very good
I think we only lose to something like WW monk in p2, if he can cleave everything
The only classes that realistically come close to sin 2 target cleave is shadow priest and affliction
@stoic needle have you ran the numbers or is that just speculation
I haven't run them recently but you can sim it yourself if you don't believe me
You can see by looking at p2 denathrius damage on logs as well
Do you guys swap talents for farm nights? Or do you just run pure ST all night?
What are tomes running on your servers? Still 500g on mine.
200g
I can't even imagine 80g Tomes. Shadowcore Oil is still 50g a pop on my server. Feel bad for non alchemists.
Combat Pots are 150g.
I buy agi pots 100 at a time at 200g apeice
I'd consider that cheap af
Considering a 15 key boost is like 30-50k
I don't think you'll ever catch me using agi pots in M+ unless it's the difference between timing a key right at the end but I don't really push that hard.
100k for a 16 

Excuse me?
100k per person???????
yes
Get the actual fuck out of here
everything above 15 is expensive af

I usually do one boost raid a week, 80 to 100k per run per person
because it's actual vanity
Why do the buyers just let themselves get ripped off like that
It scales really, really hard the higher you go
Here 16s are like 60-70k
since I joined horde I only did cooked VIP runs with full melee raids
like we had 8 demon hunters in the last boost
When you get to like 23+, we're talking about several million.
Wow
and one week before we only had 2 ranged
EU is crazy
The thing is Oblivion doesn't let anyone boost higher than 15+
Unless you're over 2k and verified and whatnot
Cringe
you can on alliance solo if you are over 2000 rio
but there aren't that many requests
Yep
That's about the same in my community too
mostly +17s
i remember in bfa we used to sell 19-20s and our cuts were like 350k+ each
Need a verified team for that
it's a lot of $
Yeah, it's nutty
🥜
horde is a bit more strict because it's more people and also the requirements are higher
Advertisers that find thosE high key boosts are true winners
Some communities here have ~25k or less cuts for 14s
been advertising for 4 months, no high key yet

yup
Didn't even notice it was Ryfie talking
😅
how can people carry someone in a 20, i struggle to time 16s with the guildies 
Ryfie is an OG 
im usually here to bother whispyr, but he is probably still sleeping
best time to bother him
haha
the point is that most of the people that ask for 20s runs are trying to get to high rio, but don't have a team, so that kind of pay a team for a run
but they usually know how to play fairly well
And that's also probably required in order to even book the boost
Or they want to get a really high key which they can then try to do themselves later
I think it works like that in my all-french boosting community
Instead of having to push a key up
yeah, can't even book somebody with low ilvl
for example
for 16 is somewhat acceptable 200-210
and deplete it with pugs like I wrecked my 19 NW earlier 
19
Holy fuck nah, it's a 21
I mean.. I kinda dont get the point boosting 16+. Pure vanity?
that you wont use
i don't get the point of boosting at all. Like, i do, but it would just feel bad being carried tbh
I think the only thing I'd ever pay for would be Cutting Edge. And even that's just for vanity and to unlock the vault rewards.
hell do I know. I dont even see the point of doing 15s once you have ksm. Different strokes
the game has different ways to play it. Some people just farm gold and buy each CE that has a mount for example
A lot of customers are just very high tier CE players who want to get a weekly done on their alts while they do something else on the side
I would have bought the Nyalotha mount myself if I didn't wanna raid in the future
but I don't want somebody to see my logs and notice that I bought CE in past 
Like I had a dude who was willing to double our income because he was afk for 5 minutes in the beginning
He only cared about getting the weekly done whilst afk at work
and yeah
on heroic full runs it's almost always alts
of geared people
it's just faster to get that gold than pug 10/10
That I get. Candidly my time is worth more than that once you get past the "but you play for fun" element
Most high tier CE players are working 9-5, so they don't want to spend all of their free time reclearing heroic/doing weeklies on their alts.
Yeh pretty much
the thing I don't get is actually buying rio score
next tier will be different because some people might wanna collect the portals as well
Portals?
+20 in time gives portal to dungeon
What the
just like challenge modes
That is gonna be 💸
That's a 9.1 thing? Where does the other end of the portal appear then?
Pve carry is like what ever, pvp carry is sad
spellbook if they copy challenge modes system
actually the only reason I'm gonna go for all 20s this season, to get some past season score and high key exp
It's not really fair if people who are genuinely like 1.8k-2.1k cr are vs 2 multi r 1 players and someone getting boosted
the thing with pvp is that even if you have 50% winrate, you still eventually progress
I have 45% in 2s 
Time investment
I'd imagine 20s will get easier naturally as time goes by. Systems inflation scaling and experience with the mechanics will just keep getting better.
tbf pvp boosting is beyond expensive
hero of the horde/alliance is like 40 mil gold
20s next season will be like 25s or something this season
People pay the equivalent of that in real money
for people to play on their account etc
pretty sad imo

how come?
Probably someone out there financing an r1 title lmao
eventually it gets easier, even with their scaling
The ilvl of everything goes up each season
last season you could boost 18s in time
eh, thats like 4 grand US. Just buy a used car.
s4 bfa was free for everything
Don't worry we have torghast powers coming 
would be fun. Silly, but fun. Be like NW spears all over.
You don't have to imagine
It's happening in 9.1
Haven't you seen?
You shouldn't
I haven't even checked 9.1 changes lol
The full details aren't out there yet
But we will be getting torghast powers
By some method
In keys
Who knows if they will be random or a set selection or class based or all neutral
You probably should lol
Especially if you like sub
I haven't logged in for over a month now
for 1 week
I really want to play survival viably haha
survival needs cohesion before buffs. Spec makes no sense
sub will need more than what it is currently getting to be the go to ST spec
I mean it's 200-300 DPS ahead of sin now on the ptr
won't make it the go to spec in raids though, fire sims lower than both arcane and frost
but is still the go to because of how in functions in raid
That's not really a fair comparison because the mage apl is dogshit
And sub has an attractive damage profile
Sub does offer burst but it you're holding dance charges too long it doesn't feel great
Right, but let's say you're at 2 charges and a window comes in 15sec
A window of what?
so sub had a bad damage profile, but suddenly Shadow Techniques and Backstab getting buffed makes it attractive?
Burst* take sludge or SKS for example
It never had a bad damage profile, it was just undertuned
The shadow techniques buff was literally 500 dps
And the new obedience legendary is another 200-300
At the very least it will be competitive
This is on the ptr now?
Yes
That's fair. Depends on the duration of the window and how much cdr you can get. But even sitting on charges sub is going to be better in fights with frequent burst widows
For sure. I was pro sub at the start of the xpac and enjoy as a spec, probably 3rd or 4th most. But my brain gets more dopamine from sin
pretty certain i know the answer but does the damage bonus of lashing scars apply to all damage done by it (initial damage + every lashing)?
Yes sir.
checking now but do you happen to know the typical stack count achievable by a sim bot? meaning, when valuing lashing scars in a sim, i want to compare my typical value against the bots to know if it's over/under/equal valuing the conduit
It doesn't really matter, but the bot gets around 21-27 lashes with DS.
It really depends on how many crits you get with Mutilate.
and BS procs
Playing IQD and getting lust in the beginning will obviously push it very high
Not playing IQD and not getting lust will pull it down quite a bit
right
Wouldn't worry about it too much. It's not even worth finishing at max-2 during Flag, so there's not much optimizing that you can do regarding it
Other than pooling slightly before it.
naw, just weighing conduits and judging accuracy based on my performance vs bot. but you're right, the difference would be negligible over a typical fight length
as long as i'm not truly terrible*
I'm reading the wowhead and icy viens guides, and I'm not sure what legendary to craft, should I do Zoldyck or Doomblade?
both
which should I start with? Zoldyck?
do you raid or do m+
both
m+ prob right now?
zoldyck
legs
yeah, don't think there's any crit haste pants
It's just that 235 pants give more stats than 235 boots would.
Gloves
Gloves and shoulders actually give the same amount of stats.
but there's high ilvl shoulders available from the raid and no high ilvl gloves etc etc
!guide
For necrolord sin rogue, is there any special use of SBS in raid content? I didn't see anything in the pins
With the ma talent, sbs replaces mut as your first global out of stealth
Otherwise you use sbs during shiv if running emeni and during gemstones if running heirmir
with the caveat that you always use if overcapping, I assume
Yep
But if you use one on the pull and the rest during gemstones you won't overcap
They'll naturally be recharged in time for every subsequent gemstones window
But that's only for opener right? IE - you still vanish -> envenom mid-fight yeah?
You're not re-casting SBS
Yeah it's just to get the dot up
Assa gets WPS/poisoned katar from raid in 9.1
Thank god
How's sin looking for 9.1?
great on ST and OK on stacked cleave where you can maintain dots more or less
we'll get a better look towards the end of the PTR cycle though
Assuming things don't really change, we'll be great for ST, strong cleave and multi target. Same as now
People play wasteland right in keys?
Yep pretty much.
Which potency then?
Lashing
Aight thanks
do i have enough mastery or do i need to lower it a bit https://i.imgur.com/oq1h4Zh.png
Eww
13.6% is a bit high
Yikes
Mastery non-believers 
God I fucking love Torghast

Hit a 43 million damage envenom once in torghast. Felt great
Pog
my crit is trash, like high 20s
can't get any crit items to drop
finally knocked out my plaguefall 15 and no phial. i absolutely HATE that dungeon
is doomblade a good legendary to go for just m+ as thats all I want to do? im a new rogue so sorry for the noob question
No it's not very good for m+
You should craft zoldyck
the one htat increases bleeds and poisons? ok will do thank you 🙂
Yep! It's bis for m+
what fkn powers you take to hit that hard
Lots of soul remnants, some of the +% damage / +% main stat powers, +400% finisher after shadow step, 5x the envenom damage power. I think the highest I ever saw was 1.8 million as subtlety back in the days before the buffs. Not sure how you get 43 million 
twisting corridors probably
In twisting corridors I would prefer to grab all the flagellation powers, 80+% crit, and 3x+ lens of elchaver then just crit the boss to death with ~200% haste full dots rolling
@stoic needle 
:P
now you have to make a stream discord so I can have all your emotes
for any sins playing zoldyck make sure you install this WA
First you have to install the sound: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7l6rreo296dz9iy/Execute.ogg And paste it to : World
LOL

100% running it for sire prog today
Grats on the weapon ox!
I’m at least getting upgrades on the chest so I can’t bitch TOO hard, but I want to 😡
imagine getting upgrades from the vault
can't relate
i got a ring for my 9.1 sub set
should've picked stygia last week but i picked decanter
no upgrades for 6 weeks so i decided to not do keys last week
¯_(ツ)_/¯
imagine not doing 10 keys every week
much less effort than running 10 keys a week on 2 chars
For SLG Mythic Prog... Zold or Doom?
zold
Same for Sire, ye?
Yup
Gotcha so im saying goodbye to Doom after Sludge. Thats all i needed to know
like imo doom is just the move for sire, like phasing it in P3 and nuking adds is also very important
I keep hearing that;
Farm Sire = Doom
Prog Sire = Zold
i thinks u just go doom all the way up
I also prefer Doomblade, but most people recommend going full ST with Zoldyck on Sire to maximize p3 damage
what a rush, 1-31 renown in less than 24hr before raid
Been there twice, it sucks
it's too strong compared to Zold atm tbf, like having 8% more st dmg all throughout the fight is prolly better than just having 10% more dmg when sire hits 30%
what did you go from-to?
venth to nl
one of us
Ive been everything except Kyrian
Was gonna go NF->Venth, but now I'm thinking Necro
same now
and i dont think i will ever have to go
Sounds legit, i might just go Doom until i see if we have hang ups in P3
and if we do, ill swap
i would recommend doom yeah
idk i think the value of doomblade is lowered a bit if you're running CT
cuz you envenom less
true true
On 2 targets do you prioritize getting CT or Rupture up in the opener?
and it's more of a gap between PB and CT without zoldyck
Nah it's around the same.
CT i think
Because you also do more damage with Env
wait no u want one rupture at least
@balmy condor any notable changes in your plater profile? Noticed you made some updates today.
i'm p sure
and idk if swapping between doomblade and zoldyck is a good idea during prog if your p2 timers are tight
nothing crazy, just some filter changes
Thats fair, might be somethign ill have to "feel" out then
Rup on both, then ct.
well 50% of the value of doomblade is the dot, the other 50% is the envenom damage bonus. losing envenom casts naturally will lower the value you're getting from the damage bonus
But... thats even if we make it pass SLG
ok i fixed it to execute play super saiyan on sire hp <30% if you have zoldycks equipped https://wago.io/zNSlPi7UW
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
So there is that

i think doom all the way
I wish wago.io would show diffs - I heavily modified yours and wanted to peek at the differences to see if I should adopt any of them
Yes, but they sim similarly because you get the extra 5% envenom damage from CT.
if my gang of monkes can almost down it anyone else can
It's +-0
slg sucks even on farm if your raid is playing like chimps
I just blacklisted trinkets and stuff, no need to update :)
you're required to ping shiennar when you say that
Cool, thanks! I probably have that covered then, a lot of what I did was stripped down the icons over the plates to focus only on my bleed timers to de-clutter
Have you killed it?
Sick.
every week is a coin flip for us on slg
and people actually soak the eruptions
one shot it, then take 15 attempts because people dont stop pushing shit too early etc
our raid group actually holds dps when told to 
that seems nice
i'm actually the main inter because i sbs commandos in the intermission when we're supposed to be single targeting the goliaths

Hey folks. Progressing on Mythic Sludgefist for the first time. Any heads up pointers and good to knows I should be aware of?
Sync everything, maximize pillar windows, use Vendetta early
Vendetta on pull, 2, 4 is my current assignment
Did they change SBS/Blade Flurry interactions in PTR yet? Or is that as intended?
shit thats also a OL question
Shiv on CD or hold?
But use Vendetta 3s into the encounter
Any reason why
Wouldn't be ready for second pillar if you didn't.
Yep
Hold 2nd flag for pillar?
yes
Yes
Any defensives with feint/cloak I should be aware of
feint the charges
Feint before pillar hits, nothing else.
could run it on slg
Has anyone tried flayedwing trinket?
i think it double dips on blades

it's bad
Really?
really
I was thiking it would inc in dmg during shiv no?
pinned answer 
i never got a phial in the vault during the period of time i was motivated to run m+ so now i just get one shot at it per reset 
When would you use Flagellation in an AoE opener? Garrote 3-4 mobs -- Flag -- CT?
Or do you use it later into the pull
Anything updated this week on PTR?
no
yep, sounds good
what secondary stats should I go for my zoldycks for pure m+?
crit/mastery most likely
crit haste is fine
