Finally i won’t be denied from ToP groups necause i’m not necro
Big brain +27 shit there
You’ll just be denied for being sin instead
Yeah i already got kicked from some groups because sin but i still managed to reach 2350io with sin so people are « « « a bit more » » » comprehensive
Yeh
Must suck getting denied by kids with 1k io for a 15 top when your io is over double
Yeah but it’s not outlaw bro
If you go 17+ and not care about anything other than IO then you're mostly fine.
If you start a 15 and don't care a bit about IO, ilevel and gear you might do a run where the healer dies 8 times and the DPS are literally half of what you are doing. As long as the tank lives you can often still time it though but it's sometimes way harder than timing a 19 
The breakpoint is just so huge for those runs for some reason
But denying a 2k rated player for a 15 is just trolling though
Just go venthyr and spam hall ez invite XD
Anyone have suggestions for M SLG?
pump goliath
Keep Garrote/Rupture on the boss and the Goliath at all times, use SBS/CT on the skirmishers. You can use some ruptures on the skirmishers as well if you know they will live for longer than 5 seconds, but that's usually later on in the fight. It's not really worth it on the first set when everyone's blowing their cd's.
Is it worth going Necrolords for SLG?
Yes. It's the best fight for Necrolords.
You think it's worth swapping covs for one fight?
It’s honestly probably the best for sire and slg
hell yeah
I don't think swapping covenants is that big of a deal, especially if you're just starting progression on a fight now. These are the 2 hardest fights in the raid and you will be spending weeks there, so it's well worth it.
You can swap back after killing Sire if you want, it's not that bad.
9.1 heirmir looks good for both raiding progress and m+, what do you guys think ?
Definitely. Just don't get too hyped about it, anything and everything can change.
that mastery trait doe
Mastery
!stats
In general simming yourself is the recommended way to determine stat weights.
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simulation.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
new to class, is necro > venth as soon as there's a second target?
yes
huh ok
so on every fight except shriek and sludge necro is the move
got it
thx
i mean, if you somehow able too change covenant ability bettwen fights, yeha it is
i mean ive been playing venth for like 4 days
not committed
are more people venthyr on stuff like sire because the p3 st damage matters more?
necro is better on sire because sbs is bugged
the named adds and remornia don't drop their spikes when they 'die' or the phase changes
so you get 5cp from every sbs for a large portion of the fight
Yooooo do you guys know if numbing poison and curse of weakness stack for the atk speed decrease on raid bosses?
yes
*door shadow into #assassination
🕴️ 🕴️
yes they stack!!! should be pinned!

Hey all.
Every guide that i found so far tells me that haste is the best simming stat on assassa. But atm my Rogue has 19% haste and 30%crit and the sim still recommends me to use crit sockets on st sims. Any with an explanation, or maybe a link that explains assassa stats in depths
Well first of all, secondaries don't really matter that much. There's a thing about it in the pins.
You should just use Top Gear to sim yourself and follow the gearing choices there. Don't sim Stat Weights.
Ty for the fast answer
Pin this over everything else. Nobody will read it but still
amoogus
pin this
officially necro gang
*applies numbing poison
I'm convinced that every person that comes in here asking is secretly sent by omr
Wouldn't surprise me
Also hi




Rumour has it if u say omr three times into a mirror he appears behind you and reads the noxxic page to you


I'd rock it if blizz made it throw SBS
Good shit, I've been running Blades of Hakkari for 3 years now as well
i just love stuff that sheaths on your back
I despise the teeny tiny daggers
I love swords
And those are the closest to proper swords
Cev's a pocket outlaw 
if you could put a weapon in the 3rd arm i would absolutely rock it
And as a bonus they sheath on your back
lmao imagine
that would be 10/10
easily best mog in the game
That's the only reason you'd want to play Outlaw. For the sick tmogs.
what a missed opportunity
can't mog a sword into a broken beer bottle
Yeah, that would be sick but I don't think they have the technology. It took them 10+ years to finally separate shoulders
*door shadow into #assassination
🕴️ 🕴️
u better apply some mind numbing poison
hello guys im here does mind numbing stack with curse of tongues
I hate everyone
200k crit on PTR on the orb thing lmfao
It takes increased damage but still good fun
whispyr do u wanna talk
I mean, what I want is for omr and goons to stop asking if it stacks
but I feel like that's not going to happen
oh okay ty for clarifying i hope you have a better day 🙂
i never asked that one time
omr I actually despise you
actually i did ask that once like months ago cause i didnt know
omr is a treasure
i read every line u write in a cute lil asmr whisper voice <3
stop being toxic whyspr
opinion received osh thanks for informing me of your thoughts

!mute @stoic needle
What do I craft zoldycks on? Hands or Feet?
f
zold is legs
which tenets?
haste crit usually
bet
Was that a language? Damn Whispyr. Earning that green name
what?
the mastery stacking is rotting your brain
you can't mute a mastery chad
the universe won't allow it
would you like to test that theory
I would very much appreciate this theory put to the test
I have mastery of sin, yes
if you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

You have like 2 followers. Every good cult starts somewhere
this guy trying some science
every single fight in sanctum of domination seems riddled with adds and I hate this
weren't the first 2 fights they tested completely single target
Every fight except tarragrue and the guardian of the first ones has adds
like a phoenix everytime i am struck down i rise brighter and stronger
my flame never to be doused
whats assassinations opener? cant seem to see it in the pins
!guide
^ they're listed there
np
whispyr how are you today
Hi.
The first rupture has to be of +5 cp always (with ds)?
I see raidbots applying the first rupture with 4 cp sometimes
nah, it's fine to rupture just to get it up in your opener
Looks like ww will thrive this tier due to constant adds
doesnt matter if it isnt at max cp right
correct
Thanks
np
So only 2 st boss?
from what i can see yes
Hard to survive then.
so far ive had a good time with the adds though, fatescribe swapped to CT felt pretty good
seems like a fun tier to be necro
anybody have a breakdown to the opener for sin? im venthry! just wanna make sure im doing everything right haha
Necro sin does seem like a pretty good middle ground to be for ST plus some add ability
Which souldbind do you play with necro?
Anyone know how the gnashing chompers work? A stack that renews or?
heirmir with gemstones
gnashing chompers duration is refreshed when you get a new stack yes
Ty
Everyone having a good week?
What legendary are we upgrading first coming into 9.1?
Too early to say
We know which one you'll upgrade first
it depends on how hard the burn phases are on the first 2 bosses
and the last phase of sylvanas

There ya go
probably not actually tho
Gonna bone those Valkaries so hard
The meta will likely stay either Doom or Zold though right?
yep
Unless some major balancing happens yea
ty
alert; venthyr leggo seemed like it was doin more dam than doomblade when i was doin the testing today....any update on actual sims for it?
its most likely that these sims will go stale real soon and confuse people more than anything, thats why he's not releasing them
Yeah that makes sense
Also the new soulbinds are going to possibly change things and they aren't implemented yet
When my heart say venthyr but the tier tells me necrolord
It’s actually because I’m an evil rogue with a secret stash of sims that I’m hoarding like a goblin in a forbidden cave deep underground so that I keep all the good parses to myself, because my guild is hyper competitive for world first and I need every advantage I can get against every other rogue in the world.
Either that, or what you were saying

play what ever cov you want
release the sims

but high parses are the only thing that keeps my self esteem in a somewhat put together state 
is there a way to track if the garrote is empowered with a WA?
Yeah but it can get a little problematic depending on how complicated you want it to track
I've never felt the need to track it
Mine is custom code that tracks the nameplate so when I tab back, it still shows empowerment
But that’s kinda silly
Just don't refresh a garotte after a vanish or after you open
I mean that’s technically not correct in aoe
You overwrite empowered garottes in aoe?
Refreshing garrotes in pandemic can be worthwhile
Well obviously not
Unless it’s vanish garrote
Like the empowered garrotes enter pandemic right
But you have 5 garrotes out
Is there ever a situation where I'd want to run Poisoned Katar?
If you’re running double potency venthyr in m+ it’s pretty good
It’s kinda okay for fae/kyrian, but usually just LP
My main point is like, I don't see the point in tracking an empowered garotte when you won't overwrite them in most circumstances, you can just remember that after you vanish or open that you shouldn't refresh your first 3 garottes
But why remember when you can track
Less visual clutter
When you track it’s less mental clutter 
I've been playing sin for a little while now and I can count on one hand the number of times I've accidentally overwritten a subt garotte
In aoe we can put 4 garrotes out at once on opener right
Then you’re just playing cup and balls
Trying to remember which of the 3 you had the subt on
I do enjoy playing cup and balls
Feels like it's only relevant on specifically 4 mob pulls which are kinda rare
k, will search a way to track it, ty
Okay I have a trial this weeks with a poppegga guild
Are there any like tricks I’ve missed in the last few days or new metas
Or is it same old same old poisons bleed stab
Press all the bottoms as fast as possible in opener
Bud vend before flag
Same old
Class discords snoozing atm waiting for blizzard to get 9.1 into a workable state 
thats y i gotta spice it up 4 u bby
Still worth crafting Doomblade on hands for next tier right? Since KT drops shoulders and theres no hands in last 2 bosses
either shoulders or hands are fine
it doesnt matter much since you can get crit/haste hands.
yes still doomblade on gloves
shoulder doombladers 
i ts okay, i cant really wear my zold since i havent seen the shoulders off SLG drop ever
Anyone have issues macroing the ventry ability?
what do you need to macro it for?

Cast sequence macro’s are super weird man I don’t get the point
i havent felt like macros are needed but
¯_(ツ)_/¯
doesnt help i know like nothing of macros lmao
I know some macro stuff but I just don’t see the appeal
I think its just people hearing about them way back in older xpacs and thinking its still the way to go
How many buttons do you realistically need to play sin? I've never counted
How many of you sin rogues are levelling necrolord renown?
wait what did I miss, I'm monkas rn. An hour ago I swapped to Ven
Venthyr is currently ST beast, but necrolord might be cute next patch
if pure ST assa is your goal, venthyr is the play, if you multi spec and/or focus a lot on keys necro has an edge
Necro is just hella sexy. Ya know?
i’m still a vampire so idk 
My other toon is an ele shammy, so boner boiz for life.
Draka is hella thicc
I wish the other covenants were more than fire and forget spells. Like give us something interesting
rn i have a darkmoon deck they have same cooldown and id use them same time
just frees up a button
If you wanna be a single target beast simply click "n" -> assassination-> "activate"
True
You guys see that new leggo? shits gonna be op if its makes it to live like that for aoe
necro
Always top raid dam kthx
Is necro ahead in cleave/hard aoe by more than ven is ahead in st?
Great question
Necro is slightly worse on 1 target but wins the moment there’s more than 1, so it’s been a lot of necro recently because the tier is over and the only thing to do is m+
Yes
Easily
Like 60 dps in single target and 200-400 in aoe depending on length and target count and all that
Necro legendary also looking pretty good for m+
Venthyr lego doesn’t look great for single target
So
There’s that
And I imagine it's more engaging to play? (Necro)
I just switched from Vent to Necro. Went to 7.05k simmed to 6.5k st... even at low renown, feels a lil bad
Should vanish-3x gar be prio over rups? When vanish is available and first empowered gars are in pandemic
Yes
Soul bind and cov level
ye
no offense but i doubt you were hitting your sim dps anyway
No one should be losing more than like 100 dps
Ty
i doubt you'd notice the difference besides on sludgefist
My switch on same gear was like 50 dps
Well id also guess in practice necro is acc closer even in pure ST as soon as theres any downtime since you hace an extra range abilty and with flag being extra unfriendly to downtime
At max renown
SBS is great for cheese on some later bosses currently and cheap easy CP are always nice
Just for the meme, how many targets before we ditch Muti for Fok?
I've been screwing up then :(
I keep mixing up my target numbers for FoK and Chain Lightning on my shammy lol
lmaooooo!!!!!!!
im savin that dude ty
@balmy condor thanks for answer earlier about the ven and necro stuff and ive seen the numbers you posted and pin and it makes sense to me. But whats causing still most of the top logs to still be ven? Even on fights that introduce extra targets or downtime
Is it just the case of just a lot of people still playing Ven, or am i missing something
Most raid whores are still venthyr
sheesh
Yeah there’s theotar cheese as well
Which honestly why the fuck is that still a thing
ofc take farm parses with a grain of salt because tons of parses this point in this tier are from cheesing. But wouldnt we see people cheesing necro on a lot of the cleave fights?
because they’re busy nerfing innerva 
Oh whats the theotar thing?
nerfing boss 4 on month 6 
You can go theotar, get double pot duration, drink a pot, and swap back
like you swap then get summed on pull? so you have big pot in the opener?
no you use a tome
ah
you can swap soulbinds with a tome as long as you have the conduits placed, but for the cheese your conduits don’t even matter in theo tree
yeah I understand
remind me of the loaded dice cheese for keys all last xpac
for outlaw
does Bottled Flayedwing Toxin work with mastery?
No
Bugger
eep seems I might get CE this tier after doing 0 prog on any boss at all...
chill life was kinda cool 😐
any boss up to sire that is
hey does anyone have a good WA for tracking your bleeds on off targets? I want something that shows time left on the bleed and the name of the target each is on
lol
id try plater maybe
and have it on nameplates
there are some good strings on wago
i havent seen a weak aura that does that for a long time but i havent bothered to look
Should be pretty easy if you just track say rupture, and then set the trigger to track on multi-target
It’ll auto-duplicate automatically
Hmm, that gives me an idea
i mean im just going to do what you swaid
setup a WA that tracks how many ruptures i have up
i am doubtful i'll keep it, but it'll help me work out what i should be priotizing spending my CP on a lil easier so i'd like to see how it works
As sadbod said above me, tracking dots across multiple enemies is much easier and cleaner with nameplates
I’m not sure how tracking how many ruptures you have out will help you make a decision on your cp, but if it helps you, more power to you
plater is ok
i kind struggle cause the plates are always moving etc
this way i can just look at the one spot to see how many ruptures i have up
I mean isn't it just a useful as doing it via plater?
Knowing how many you have up is different from tracking the durations
Being able to refresh in pandemic is one thing
Knowing how many you have, is not something we care about currently
you can get plater to tell you when a rupture is in the pandemic window and stuff too
i dont claim to be any good though
The only time knowing how many bleeds are up is useful is for min-maxing priority dps on council and slg
And in those situations, it’s a mixture of garrotes and ruptures, and on those fights specifically, you bleed your target + 1 more target
Anything more is usually rough due to loss of downtime
I'm looking at M+
keeping my dots up on multiple targets is how you do dps
why wouldn't i want to know how many dots i have up?
i get plater can also do it but i need to work out where name platers are when i'm checking that way
Because you dot everything that lives long enough anyway
The amount is irrelevant
If it’s alive for another ~15 seconds and doesn’t have a bleed
You bleed it
the thing is like: a bunch of bars that say "Rupture 1: 20 Seconds - Mob 1, Rupture 2: 15 seconds - Mob 2, Rupture 3: 12 seconds - Mob 3" is basically useless info
when a nameplate could tell you the same thing without you having to move your eyes away from the mobs and their nameplates
its the same thing just in a different place though
yeah and you don't have time to be moving your eyes around the screen to get redundant info
when you're trying to dodge mechanics and do dps
for the most part they stay in the center of your screen
weak aura is a consistent location
they move enough for me that i prefer a static location to check for stuff
Okay so here’s a question
unless they're moving to the edges of your screen i guarantee you're wasting more time looking at that static location than just looking at the plates themselves
i used to play with a bunch of WAs like that that I made and i was playing worse trying to keep track of them and my character at the same time
whispyr remembers the auto clone wa i made 
my debuff trackering WA are about 5 yards to the right of my character,
You got 3 skirmishers, and your weakaura shows 3 ruptures, of varying lengths, on those
Now one of them is in pandemic
Which one of the 3 is it
The alternative point of view i am looking at is same scenario - i'm moving my eyes a away from my energy/player and get whacked by some spell i could of dodged because i'm trying to find each of the name plates and check for pandemic
You learn to count to 20 tbh
currently i'm having more issues with not dodging shit than i am managing pandemic timers
Rupture timings are rwal natural
i made my rogue 2 weeks ago, not at the point yet
Internalizing rupture times takes a lot of practice tbh
I know I can do that, and a lot of others can as well
But that’s a lot of work
Yah and a good way to start that practice is to not have a a quarter of your screen filled with informational crutches
I guess
see how the timers are on the nameplates there? if i had a separate block of timers i'd have to move my eyes away from my character, my resource bar, and all of my CDs and etc to look over at them, process the information, and then figure out which of the actual mobs is the one that i want to refresh dots on
or i can just click the nameplate with the glowing dot icon and refresh
or mouse over it even
they aren't glowing there but you get the point
i'd say it's less effort to learn how to chase the nameplates around as they move and click your intended target than to constantly look back and forth between some auras and your character during play
do you have the stacking nameplates setting off or something?
if you hvae that off they will move a lot yeh
they still move a lot even with it on tbf
true
so was just curious
FYI
ignore the rupture in the middle and the bar timer - thats me just trying to work out how multi-target WAs work
things i need to refresh appear to the right of my char and stack down
they pixel shine when within pandemic timer
Ello! I have 1 question now necro is better than venthyr for raid? I saw majority of ppl on logs are still venthyr.
and they don't show if their is more than 50% of the timer left
Venthyr is slightly better on 1 target, and worse on 2+
Ok tyvm
I would say that those nameplate timers are a bit too small/desaturated but that's just me
There is a mod built into plater by default that allows you to make things glow when they're in pandemic as well
Ah I think you said you have that already
no i said i manage pandemic via my WAs
if its in plater i'll add it there too
i've made the debuff bar bigger and i think it might help
Any chance you know where the panemic setting in plater is?
It should be under either scripting or mods, I can't remember off the top of my head and I'm in bed 
There should be one called pandemic glow or pandemic dot glow or something along those lines
If you don't see it, there are dozens of them on wago.io
didn't realise plater had this kind of customization before
Plater is basically as customizable as weakauras
But with a worse GUI
The GUI on WA is incredible by comparison lol
not having much luck finding pandemic timers for plater. if someone could share one that'd be apprecaited
it's 30% of the new duration
https://wago.io/b5lQFqr5V @tame moss
seems there are a few if you look
in the assination section
inlcuding the one the dude already linked
@stoic needle how did raid testing go ?
I'm pretty sure he's asleep but hey
Gotta try
first night of mythic danny and it was. uhhh interesting
This really blew my mind, dont think why I havent gotten pandemic glows on my plater before
That had me thinking if it would be possible to also make faded out rupture / CT / garrote icons next to the actual debuffs on plater to indicate that u don't have said debuff applied to the target kind of as a reminder
So on that far right target it would have a greyed out garrote / CT icon next to the rupture
the answer to almost everything in plater or weak auras is yes
if you can figure out how to code it
if the api lets you do it it can be done
fair enough, I suppose plater has a discord server that can probably answer the question
hello assassination I’m pooped after gaming so hard today and I’m exhausted so gn
Stats weights are not super important unless you’re gearing BiS is what I believe someone would tell you not sure if anyone is on.
well actually i asked for should i craft my new lege haste crit or crit mastery
haste crit for raid+m+
okey ty
idk why you would only play sin for m+ so that doesn't matter
well i play raid too
I like it better in all content 🙂
but its for m+ gearing
and i turned to vent so outlaw as vent is really bad
i am bored outlaw 😄
Necro is awesome for sin
Yeah. Especially in m+
but i think vent is waybetter for raids
Necro is better for everything 2 or more.
I believe sludge you will see a bit more diff from what I’ve read hear. Because of pillars.
hmm
You gain much more dps in aoe as necro than you lose in ST
hmm
well
if i go back to necro i play outlaw on m+
so
i gain looot more aoe 😄
Play what feels good for you 😄
i just want to try this vent assa
well on warcraftlogs
everyone plays vent assa
can i do +20 +21 s with ventt assa?
It’s not bad.
And I’m sure you could. Only sin rogue I’ve personally watched do 24s and such is necro.
hmm
well i am gonna try this vent assa 😄
ty for helps
so crit haste for lege
i can change to necro anytime so
Others here could tell you better than I can.
hmm oki
and the thing is i wanna be pure assa 😄
i played outlaw for bfa and
till now
kinda bored
Outlaw is kinda too spammy for me ya know
But I’ve only played rogue for a few months so.
Use dungeonslice
I believe you can do dungeon slice and pick different amount of targets. I’m not well versed in the way of the sim.
It’ll do target counts all by itself
But it’s not supposed to show you your damage at the end of a dungeon, so if you’re trying to see that specifically, that’s not what the sim is for
well for sunking raid boss is vent outlaw soo bad ?
or is assa playable on sunkings
Sin is probably better for sun king prog
are u playing assa for sunkings or outlaw ?
Outlaw just does aoe but the shield damage isn’t that great
I refuse to play outlaw
😄
Miss me with that dumb fucking spec
😅
so vent assa still playable

venth is still really good for sure
You could play kyrian and be fine
kyrian is the worst but it's still not going to be a deal breaker. whisp would know
Every covenant is close enough for it to not matter

Does Korayn's First Strike do much at all for sin?
Is it better to play sin or outlaw for mythic sire?
Depends what ur comp needs
if u struggle with the adds/timers in p2, got outlaw
if u lack boss dmg in p3, go sin
Ok cool thanks for the feedback
It’s quite good
Been considering switching for a while now
But have made an almost entire switch from outlaw to sin, wasn't sure if it was as useful
But that doesn't matter unless you actually havea pool of raiders and are making comps
If you just do m+ why would you swap to sin
Don't you refuse to play outlaw?
What kind of question is that?
I don't enjoy it as much
k

Dunno why you’re so mad
take the middle ground, play sub
"Why don't you just stay outlaw?"
because its the best m+ spec?*
I also have never played outlaw seriously in the last 3 expansions and don’t have a yellow name
Okay

If you wanna play sin more power to you
Just dunno why you gotta be mad about it
But you do you
Just seemed accusatory, I like sin, is that cool?
is anyone able to look at my logs and help me figure out what i need to fix?
I feel like I get RNGed like a mfer as outlaw
And have largely played sin since BC
Until this expansion
I play sin, but I cannot seem to get my Mists daggers
What? I didn’t accuse you of anything
of course it’s cool to like sin, it’s all I play lmao
I think they just don’t drop shiit
Why would I shit on you for doing what I do
That’s the dumbest fucking thing I could do
Are you guys working towards a shiv windows or just shiv on CD and whatever?
Shiv on cooldown is optimal
I’m under the impression I should take care of my bleeds and then shiv to get 2-3 evenoms out
We shiv on cooldown as long as rupture is up on the target
The amount of envenoms is whatever
Missing a shiv because you held it is much more painful
Yea that’s my issue ST I think
Just on cooldown, and whatever you get in the window is cool
If that’s 1 envenom, cool
If that’s 5
Cool
i think only hold shiv if cd(s) are coming up in 10s right
Yeah I think that’s what I put in the pin
Adjusting from Feral to sin, I’m liking it
Think the apl is 12 but it usually ends up being about 10 and that’s easier to remember

makes sense it's a better version of the same thing lol
and yeah the shiv timing is annoying sometimes but smashing it when its up is better than holding too much so either way
Haven’t played my rogue since Cata, it’s like returning to a whole new class
yeah just read pins and the guide and you're fine
Think I have to do arena too, I cannot seem to get any weapons
We even did mists 15 with 3 rogues 😆
No drop
What are pins?
IDK some thing where people do a bunch of work and post all the info but nobody looks at
I see
The only thing messing with me is the secondary stats as sin.
Can I do it to em
They seem indeed less important

Yuh

for sire prog, yall think sin execution is the way to go? over OL?
Yes
You must have big patience 😄
as venthyr, anything special with condies or anything or just standard?
I have big patients actually
Same ol same ol
Oh
Yeah sucks being a doctor
Work at a clinic for the obese

Garrotte
And kill boss
Don’t die, do big dam, don’t immune massacre p3 cause you can’t, shadowstep Someone you trust on the nasty overlap and pray he doesn’t ass blast you
cos doesnt work for soaking? god damn they did wreck rogues
Not on p3 massacre nope
i never tried in heroic cause ive only killed him like 3x but damn
i thought evasion worked for massacre?
or is that just lines in p1?
Evasion doesn’t work on anything on sire
im 99% sure soaking lines with evasion works?
as in ive sat in the X on heroic with evasion up and been fine
did you have cheat death
Well I’m 100% sure it doesn’t so checkmate atheists where’s your god now
yea and it didnt proc
Do I exclusively use CT in aoe as a finisher?
lmao aight ill go hop in a pug now and check
No
or do I still want to rupture at say 3-4 targets
im sure your right
Might be some heroic jank tbh
There were a couple mythic only things that don’t work but magically somehow sometimes work on heroic for no apparent reason
Mythic does change it up though its annoying
fair enough, this tier is filled with bugs, isnt there a lag bug in p1 with the conal?
or is it more so just another bleed you maintain
Yep
alrighty
is there a decent sim setup for sire?
Usually p1 and p2 are irrelevant so you can sim execute patchwerk for p3
3 min should be fine
But honestly just a standard patchwerk works too
kk, as far as pull count and getting to p3? how many times did yall hit p3 before the kill? we're about 150 pulls into slg, finally got 2nd intermission figured, had a 2% wipe wednesday and should kill tuesday. But it seems like sire p3 is the roughest part, like council. Compared to slg where p3 seems free
I think most guilds are below 100 these days
nah
that was a month or so ago before slg nerfs kicked in
theres guilds that wipe up to 300 times on sire aswell

yes its possible to kill sire in 100 pulls but if youre doing slg prog in May
its probably not possible for your guild
I think the average for sire is 150
so also we had a night with 30-40 wipes with a sub tank in so that skews our count a bit, but weve been above average on wipe counts throughout the tier, only raid 5.5 hours a week.
from what ive seen it seems pull counts are less than slg but idk if thats true
below average on wipe counts rather
problem is theyre very different fights in essential
right
and it comes down alot to how guilds approach it
does it come down to a lot of personal responsibility or more group responsibility?
for dps on sire its 100% personal pretty much
mechanics wise i guess, obv dps is personal
but the wipe count on sire is also inflated just how much you wipe in p1
yeah I mean mechanics, outside of knowing what interrupt you have everything else is personal
right, ive read that a lot of p1 is based on how well your leaders prepare
okay
and im sure our leaders are already looking at setups for everything
but yeah the wipes it just goes both way so its hard to make predictions
Sorry for asking so much, im just excited and want to do the best i can do to not get benched for someone else hahahah
the problem on sire is alot of the time its just a straight up wipe, its not like slg where you can kill the boss with 2-3 people dead from like 4min onwards
on sire youre not killing the boss without 20 alive when you go to p3
right, ive seen all the kills, even the fastest, are all within like 1 min of each other
whereas, slg you have the speed strat which is like 7 min, but our 2% wipe was at almost 11 min, granted people were dieing for the last minutish
that + p1 is why the wipe count can really vary from between 70-300
yes its extremes at both sides but its not made up numbers I know guilds who have wipes on both of those sides
so, for p1 then is there anything i can do myself that can help keep it to a minimum? cause i feel like p1 wipes are motivation killers
just dont be potato with the lines
make sure you position as soon as you get it so people have time to adjust for soaks
yeah as a rogue its never killing you but you will have alot of deaths to it
3 people get it right? does feint work?
I know this is more of a general question, but is there a big difference in time commitment from heroic to mythic?
not really, once your character is geared, most raiders just raid log from my experience
well that mostly depends what kind of guild you raid in and if you mean over time or on a weekly basis
get your mythics done, etc.
and right, how hard your guild goes, 2 night 5 hours vs 4 night 12 hours is a big difference
Weekly basis
however, if youre like me and have shit luck with drops, i still do 10 mythics a week to try to get a 226 weapon,
Rn I’m in a heroic guild progressing sire.. doing 8hrs a week, was 9 until last week
Yikes
if youre still progressing heroic sire, mythic jump is rough
well I raid 2days 4h each and outside of raiding this tier ive done 10 dungeons maybe like 3 times at the start of tier, then I did 4 dungeons for 2ish months and thesedays its 0-1, Ive killed sire almost 2months ago
I believe I could pug sire easily
youll definitely have to change guilds, and thats only if youre the shining star of your team, right now, guilds dont want rogues
Kinda yucky
This guild is new - they broke off from another guild. And I’ve been playing the game for 3 months...
Yeah
i pugged H sire before our guild could kill it 2 weeks after it dropped and thats not even good
yeah being new is fine but your guild is just bad
^
yep
especially after heroic sire got nerfed a while ago
I’m always top dam and normally last one alive in a wipe lol unless were wiping on purpose
one person cant carry a guild, if you are in the position where youre pissed at your raiders for fucking up all the time and youre the last one alive every wipe then yea its your guild
Even our group of chimps killed heroic sire in like beginning of March
And we’re like
like decent mythic pugs probably clear like 4 bosses
Very bad
if youre top dam as rogue on sire youre guild is full monkee
It’s mainly just them not cutting the people who aren’t putting in enough effort to game
Which we are doing effective tmrw. Also 5 hrs a week isn’t prog
yea, then you can probably easily get into a 3 or 4 guild rn
5 hrs a week is 1-9 farm for gearing alts and new recruits etc
5 hours is reclear? our alt heroic clears are 1.5 hours
oh boy
and maybe a wipe or 2 on sire depending on which mage decides to bring their tank alt
Again... a few people are basically being carried along
then leave
thats what i did
Not everyone can be good gamer ya know
yeah if you have ok gear/logs you can probably find a 3-5 mythic guild without issues
im on a shit server, top guild and we're only 8/10M rn, only 7 guilds even progging mythic
I got curve in March, we had 102 wipes at Sire lol. Most of our guild including me had never raided before shadowlands and we had to sadly bench a few people who did less damage than tanks :(
i had 102 wipes at 200 ilvl back when it dropped pugging it lol and im still only 8/10
and asking for adive lol
Doing less dam then tanks. Seeing people do this triggers me. Am I a bad person
advice*
no, just leave
whats keeping you there?
as a rogue if youre not in the bottom half of dps on most fights youre in a shit guild i feel like
Nothing really. Click decent with the decent gamers that are in there
doesnt really work like that 😛
am I wrong? we havent had any parse reclears really, but still. i get 95+
on heroic
assa can be top3 on quite alot of fights
Maybe he likes the people at his guild
assa literally has one of the best ST in the game
and if u dont top the direct meter u top the boss dmg meter
yea, youre not wrong, sin is gross on the ST fights, we havent recleared since the changes tho
To be fair a good rogue can top meters tho
Yeah they’re all cool people ya know
exactly, our dmg is very focused
cool people piss me off when they cant drop stacks in p1 sire
or get hit by massacre
Sucks that if you wanna keep pushing yourself and mainly raid ya gotta jump around til you find that fit >.<
dunno how you get hit by massacre
yeah its just progging heroic in May
Lmfaooo
that is pretty pepega
it sucks but youll be way happier being around people who have the same mindset as you
I odnt think you realize how bad that is
where are u prog wise Rogul ?
we were 10 people boosting 10 on sire that would die on pull back in January
only 8/10 rn, slg should die tuesday, im not trying to act like a rogue god like ryler or whysper is but i know what im doing for the most part
im not trying to say youre bad for where youre at. just trying to say you should move up
yes nothing wrong with that plenty of guilds just need bodies because of the roster boss
if you feel youre being held back
you can find alot of people giving you a chance

on my server, we're the only mythic guild not having roster issues, every other guild is advertising in trade and only doing heroic cause they dont have people
Roster boss?
and yea, you can easily find a guild like that, it might not be the most stable place but you can parse and show what you can do
cant field 20 players
Yeah lot of guilds struggling atm with recruitment and people taking breaks etc
and esp if youre alliance
in most guild if u are good u will be in the upper part of the meters on some bosses at least, no matter ur spec, specs come into play when u enter more competitive guilds
you have to realize just being in this discord probably makes you better than a huge % of players in pve
im in this discord and im garbage
if you want to find a guild, go on wowprogress and set up your profile to looking for a guild, if youre any decent, youll have 5 or so guilds messaging you within the week
^
Yeah since I came in here and asked questions I went from grey ilvl parse to purple.

GJ ryler
Big brain server
yah
i dont care
iu havent progged a single boss whole tier
just helping guild get it done
sure there might have only been like 15 parses back then but what can you do 
rogue is one of the hardest classes to play well, i guess not sin really, but OL in particular is difficult managing your CD's/opportunity/BR/KS/BtE/etc.
they got me in to cover for someone and are like hmmmmm you actually do twice as much boss dam as the dk 🤔
I thought outlaw just basically blew everything on cd
you do, but realizing when they come up and if you should hold it for something coming up, while thinking about what rolls you have
But idk I haven’t enetered that channel nor played outlaw since I went sin I never looked back
you have like 10+ buttons in your rotation vs most classes 4 button rotation
OL is king on cleave, Sin is ST king and maybe better on 2 targets
Yeah I played outlaw for a good month it’s not bad but the high APL and thinking? Nty
youre handicapping yourself and youre group playing sin in mythics, but at 15s it doesnt really matter
eh its not really handicapping
I do better dam as sin in a good group with no deaths
assa is still a very good m+ specs, outlaw just happens to be best or 2nd best melee
I made a realllllllllly good weakaura to help manage by RTB procs, and i know enough to where i can override what it says to reroll or not
OL has gouge which is insane
Playing outlaw I stopped progressing in dps at like 4.5k but like I said I never checked the outlaw channel and looked for my@mistakes
and can use shiv as utility, on heroic as OL your dmg prolly wont be great, but sire should easily be doable, heroic sire is literally just a mechanics fight
Sim has garrote (:
if your guild cant kill it, your guild cant do mechanics
Yep
Guilds killed sire with like 185 ilvl so its not a gear issue
i am dude, ive gotten like 5 solo dubs in FN
Not impressed
but yea youre right, theyre way more skilled than most of us, but im assuming his guild is pushing 220 avg so its not a gear issue is all im saying
if youre struggling with sire rn, its cause you havent cut the dead weight and your guild just sucks
Yeah probably , maybe he can throw a log in here for us to see
^ actually
im only 8/10 but i can look at it and tell you what i see
or if youre alliance US ill pug it with your n
I agree eblise, and I want everyone to have fun and get the achievement and stuff
rn
Oh yeah my guild helps a friend guild out on our server they prog hc sire as well. We are 6/10 mythic and we told them we won’t help out if you don’t start cuttin the death weight. But their guild leader is to kind hates cuttin people
if you have a nice guild leader, its bound to fail
But when you keep messing up and you just laugh.. idk wastes other people’s time and effort
exactly
get out right now
go to wowprogress.com and update your profile with search for a guild and find somewhere else
if your goal is to push
Im horde btw
Horde for life
if you enjoy pussyfooting around then stay
horde is for ezmode. i stay alliance cause i like a challenge
Lmao
What do u play? Nightelf?
ofc, shadowmeld is nuts with our conduit
you get consistant 4 roll openers
soz forgot im in sin channel
and i started alliance back in vanilla so im partial.
with count the odds, you shadowmeld 5-6 CP dispatch and it counts as using it from stealth
it also worked with kyrian ability to get find weakness bug for a while
And he is outlul
im a birogue, i swap to sin when it benefits me 😛
@hollow river link a log and ill check it out
Which is never (:
OL is better on most fights in CN than sin
sin is better on the fights that are free
My Eblise beats people butts on fights
tbf im swapping sin for M sire
maybe you have bad guildies then 😛
on SLG prog my dmg got cut by 2k dps in one night cause ranged figured out how to aoe, however, i still top boss dmg lol
as OL
it really shines, if i get good rolls on the opener im usually top 5 with maybe our mages and hunter in front, but you get a shitty opener and youre finishing 10-13th
yeap, it just sucks that our dmg is so rng
Just like getting 226 weps
and youre in intermission and you have 4 minutes of snd
God and vault hates me
yeap, i got a 223 weapon my first vault and havent seen a weapon since
still rocking 223/220 for OL and 220/220 for sin
with everything else at 226
in slg u go for more crit/vers for cleave or usual haste build
Not bad
sin you still want ~20% haste
I am still rocking a 216 ring cause its simming better then all other rings i get haha
Best sim for SLG is dungeon slice imo
Ive been using greenskins as OL to good success, if youre running sin on SLG youre likely just focusing boss the whole time
Hows greenskins going for u
I love it in mythics
better than MA imo, not pushing only 14-17's
def worth the craft if you have it to spare
this week kinda blows cause youre likely on explosives duty
Could look into it
but hitting 20k pistol shots blade flurried feels so goooood
I enjoy MA on outlaw cause the burst in the start
But thats where it ends
On bosses when u get bad rng on rolls u stuck
yeap, its a ton of burst in aoe but outside of that its meh
thats standard, i save all my CD's for pride usually so the others can bust off on the boss or w/e
rogues arent brought for their huge dam, their brought for their consistant dmg and control, youll finish 2nd/3rd on dmg unless your group sucks at like 6k dps or so but you can basically kick 4 casts in less than 5 seconds
The day i blow my cds on pride before a boss it will be the day i am no longer me
they're*
see, thats the downfall of most M+ players
they get greedy, but the pride has to die and some healers struggle healing through it. saving CD's as OL is killing your DPS
you have to realize our CD's dont bring as much dmg as other classes
Can’t be your dps alone tho
keeping your AR off CD for a minute or w/e it takes to kill pride actually hurts your dps
I’ve seen pride deaths, not cause of me not popping a cd or so
cause i guarantee you, you blow AR at pride, itll be up on the boss again esp on tyran
exactly, because people hold CD's
Cause you getting that to spend cp to get less cd
Weirdly it looks like a mirror paste cp /cd
😂
I feel like I perform much better in M+ after learning to use cds instead of holding them for bosses xd
I’m gonna DM u logs @rapid stratus
yea
Missing casts of CDs is usually not pog
Lol
the biggest pitfall people get into doing mythics is not using CD's on trash
It’s pretty bad
there are some players im sure youve seen who only use cd's on bosses
