@balmy condor sorry to tag,not usually doing it but wanted to ask if u see something wrong here,maybe something i could change,any input would be appreciated https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sC9ZbK5vPFbDaBS2o1TGzL
but you don't want to introduce to the wrong information, right?
EP/Vig and DS/BS only see play when you get more gear.
Pretty sure BS/Vig is still the go-to at lower item levels.
With introductory gear, that is kind of viable I think
Personally rather play with what I'm gonna play with
but that's personal preference not actuality
I don’t have the willpower to argue with you about what’s right or wrong about a basic guide explaining basic info tbh
If you have a problem with it, I’m sure you can ask the guide writer yourself
ya like I said it's personal preference; I'd rather have a guide that showed me what I'm gonna be playing decently geared
than what I play with when i'm pepo level geared
But that's just you.
It is just interesting for this part. I think there is kind of gear levels between builds. And yet we don't have haste break.
A lot of people rather play what's best for their current gear/setup and change it up as they get more gear and progress further.
It’s way more complicated than a single stat breakpoint

Why do you care about the guide then anyways?
You're simming like 6.9k
It's obviously not for you.
The best part about an opinion is that you can choose to keep it yourself
It’s like a secret only you know
Very cool
There are some people who never will reach the good gear because they are just casual players but they like to have a guideline
Yeah except when you’re in a public forum complaining about a guide for a difference in opinion
When u interested on min max, u start searching different points of view and more info, so u understand there is another way than the basic guide
like me, never getting 233 dagger 
in the end, no-one
I haven't gotten a single 233 item since I killed SLG/Sire a month ago. 
No one asked whether Kieron the ravenholdt user thinks the talents are in order
You must be very popular to have people asking you about a guide you didn’t write
I don’t remember the last time I got a question about a guide
God you’re insufferable

i can be
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/o5zQ36JYRH1th931LzHJjs I didn’t bother simming haste gems but might be worthwhile
thx alot,gonna do it myself!!
Doing sims on the phone, what a chad.
It’s hard to laugh at something that isn’t funny 
wasn't even shitposting
what I said about the guide was true
what I said about people asking me about the guide
is true
If it smells like shit... and it looks like shit....
You criticized a guide for no reason
And then backpedaled with “just my opinion tho”
I criticized it because I didn't agree with it
As if anyone asked
There wasn't no reason
Well then why say it
literally understanding that half the time
people don't care about anything you or I have to say
Do you not understand how this channel works
is accurate

Why "Death's" Whispyr? 
Because @shy dust
I don't get it.
Oh! They changed the name 😄
yy ive runned the same couple of mins ago ty though for the interest
0.4% instead of 0.2%
pikachu 🙂
catching up on my class discord is always a great way to start the day
do you guys actually make sims for others?
Yeh it’s not a lot of work
it's like 10 clicks, not too bad.
might as well use the 16M iterations for people who can't do that
oh raidbots actually includes the vault 😮
It’s not like a “hey sim me”, but more of people checking to see if they’re missing something
Which is fine
can you guys do me a favour?
depends what it is
Depends.
for free?
Feet pics are extra
what if they are toes?

uh things are getting interesting
I’m a man of the people
Tru
Speaking of which
If shiv is up and rupture is falling off should I use CT or garrote?


I dont know why but this question is beyond my understanding maybe.
2 envenoms
Mans playing 6D chess
If I have 12 watermelons and John has 3 cats, what time is the next train to Edinburgh?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/wXniW9crHbm7kBHNpC2RPR
could you have a look? I have this 207 ring that I can't get rid off, not sure if the socket is that impactful
yeah sockets on rings are hard to get rid of
usually sockets contribute a lot on jewelry
I guess that it weights more in jewerly since it doesnt give agi
Indeed
@balmy condor how did raid go ?
🤔
Maybe so but 16 stat is 16 stat.. its not more or less on any other item
Would recommend you socket bis gear first so you dont throw away sockets

16 secondary stat

16 stats is 16 stats but a chest piece with a socket 213ilvl gives you less agility than a non socket chjest piece 226 and agility weights more so its easier to upgrade non jewelry gear
if it goes ahead of your 207
Guild definitely didn’t stop raiding 
ouchhh
obviously 16 secondary stats will give the same in any other piece tho
by 7 whole dps
meh quite late to farm venari reputation to work for that socket
are you exalted with her on any characters>
i farmed venari for conduits mainly, if i get conduits cool
also first time seeing eternal skirmish over eternal stats
ive been skirmish since 9.0.5 at least
Yeah same
same
Same
Afaik skirmish is static value so better in less gear. Stats would maybe be better in full bis
I see, I will swtich the enchant then
Just sim it
I’m stats for m+
for a whole lot of 17 dps increased
you could farm the rep for the perm torghast upgrades
Go for it
what do they do? missed shadowlands entirely and started playing again like a month ago
give you higher chance to get better powers, doesnt let the first death count agianst you/etc
the broker seller on floor 3/6 have a chance to sell blues/etc
Skirmish gamers here.
also gives you little portals to jump the chains

okay, I will have a look, most probably I will be raid off until 9.1 and I am tired of doing spires for the neck so something else to waste my time
torghast upgrades worth getting for 9.1 too
yeah its not to bad, got to conduit ranking in like 4 weeks or so? im not sure on the exact time it took but it wasnt to bad. could make it faster by doing both weekly and daily stuff.
i wish i did it sooner for the sockets to sit on
else I'd be hard gunning for the conduit upgrades
sucks you can only hold one socket item at a time
else you gotta hold stygia
and not fall off the edge
i have a nice 226 blood oath signet that could use a socket


Should you use all of your SBS charges during sludgefist pillar or just during gemstones as usual?
Pillar
ty
is necro play just, Use at start----- then use the rest during gem stones? do you let it cap at 3? ( Obviously if theres things like inerva you dot all 3, let sire you dot as many adds as you can in P3 )
or like sire like you just said dumping during pillars
never let it cap at 3
hello guys, why raidbots show bigger DPS results Ilvl weapon on my off-hand? is it a bug?
prob is just showing importance of OH due to poison procs. But it doesnt matter really. ( i think ?)
but the bottom of your stats should be just weapon damage.
hmmm
Agility
3.60
Off Hand Weapon DPS
2.29
Critical Strike
1.65
Haste
1.57
Versatility
1.53
Mastery
1.39
Weapon DPS
17.85
this is the results tho
can you link it?
make sure when youre simming weapons that you check all viable weapons for both main hand and off hand
all?
ah no nvm you did
lol
@odd hazel so what do you think? should i follow the results or just put higher ilvl on my MH?
i mean, the results are showing it as better to be in your OH. so unless something is off i would follow it
not like it'll make or break you if you do or dont atleast
im just not sure What is causing the OH to be better exactly. better poison procs maybe?
ah okay, this why sometimes simming results is more confusing than not simming it lol
Crit > haste venth, Necro usually favors haste more.
thanks 😄
hmmm in that case ther results is the way
i'm still at night fae, is it worth to re-run for the new covenant? i meant do venthyr is a must for rogue?
I don't see your current main hand as an offhand option in your sims
Or it was trying to add only sinful revelation
Anyway, my sim has fixed the issue
Make sure that you resim weapon enchants when trying new weapons 
ahhhhhhhhhhhh so it because i was put the wrong enchanment?
No it was because you didn't try and sim replacement enchants
So it didn't try and change the ones that already existed
It does not matter is correct
None of my hands are sinful, pure gameplay only 
it doesnt matter?
FOR GOD. The only revelation imma see is in the Bible
Straight bussin
Trolling aside, that’s correct. Enchantments can go on whatever weapon
hahahaha, sorry, english is not my main language, so i dont know if you guys were trolling LOL
You’re okay! It’s better to make sure 🙂
🙂
well, thank you so much @odd hazel @dawn ivy @final star @spice spire
@slim wagon and you too
Good luck sir 
right back at you 🙂

is there a good guide out there that isnt icy veins? it lead me in completely the wrong direction.
On a fight like dena, do i even bother putting CT up again during Shiv window or do i just get out as much envenoms as i can?
Icy veins should be fine??
You're welcome!
Venthyr is BiS for St, Necro for M+ ( anything more then one target basically ). But in reality CoV does not matter for oyu to play a a competitive level
im saying that it conflicts with many of the top DPS im seeing on subcreation
So you're saying that subcreation is a better and more reliable source?

My boy.
it isnt?
Here's a link to the IcyVeins creators raider.io:
https://raider.io/characters/eu/twisting-nether/Seliathan#season=season-sl-1
honestly idk! lol
I think he's doing pretty well and looks like he knows a thing or two.
Looks like a nobody
well subcreation seems legit because they compiling data from many different players(????)
and you can see it
contrasted with one person's recommendation
that one person who does very well and is knowledgeable
What are you looking at and where is the conflict then?
Subcreation is honestly fine for most things.
talents, covenants, gear
It just doesn't look at talent/legendary/covenant combos (afaik) and only everything separately.
ahhh thanks!!
what exactly are they saying different
conduits
different legendary
as in?
go into detail pelase other then just "conduits, leggo etc"
I learnt to use sins following that guide
I guess I should look for other guide? /s XD
well they recommend night fae
night fae is fine tbh, any cov is.
most people seem to go for ven though. and im necro for some reason
Most people choose between Venthyr and Necro.
and then they recommend ven because of the potency conduit so theyre even contradicting themselves
thats correct though
Wut
Another dumb question about sire, do we hold vendetta and vanish with MA anywhere? (obv except if the intermission is soon)
if close to 40%
You use Vanish and Vendetta together every time.
You just use them according to your assignment
The norm is 1 Vendetta P1, 1 Vendetta P2 (on named add) and 2 Vendettas in P3.
so which is the best? if they recommend one then the other
Venth for ST, necro for anything more then one target
ok
fair enough
that reassuring. i guess i was just taken aback by how different i looked on paper to the top DPS on subcreation.
why are you so head strong on subcreation
im not necessarily. its just that its not recommendations per se. more so just data
Is it normal that sbs gives me 1 fewer combo points than it should very commonly?
thats a bug i believe, not sure if its the same thing though
Btw What is subcreation?
Subcreation provides statistical analysis of Mythic+ dungeons, Raids, and PvP in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands and provides summaries of the top talents, covenants, soulbinds, conduits, legendaries, gear, enchants, and gems used in Mythic+ and Raids.
Yeah it is a bug
why not just use warcraft logs?
im not a paid spokesperson i swear lol its just something i was shown by someone else and thought it was interesting.
ok
well then thats fine. because i was hoping to ignore it
if im on the right track already that is
wcl or r.io offer better value
but some people just love the idea of small websites that often have information presented in a non obvious or misleading way
it just seemed weird, i will agree that ICy veins does present some choices in a different way
whats wrong with it ?
Guys do you think Hateful Chain oversims a bit?
again im not hoping to argue. just add it to a list of things i can ignore
i mean, im sure the site is fine but theres real no reason to use it over things like wcl or R.io for that information.
On most fights my phial 220 does more damage than my 226 hateful chain but chain sims over phial
ST fights
prob cause in reality you're not benefiting from chain as much as phial
but in a sim situation it could.
You taking heavy damage chief?
If your hp is lower than the target the trinket wont dmg
But ppm are the same
Yeah - so If you’re consistently at 80% while boss is 90%, you’ll get 0 PPM for damage. PPM is independent of each other in the case of your health being fairly constant but topped off
But the rule of the trinket remains the same
oh one other thing, my DPD shown on Raidbots is 6k+ but my actual DPS (non hectic boss eg. Altimor, Xymox, etc) is only about 4.5-4.6k at best, is it close enough to a good rotation or not?
DPS*
Yeah I get what you mean, but for example, if you are 30 secs at 80% while boss it as 90% you wont get any proc, but if in the other 30 secs your health % is above, you should get the full ppm, shouldnt it?
Or does ppm work only while the trigger is active?
Only works while trigger is active iirc
Ah damn that's it then
You should try to get as close as possible to your sim DPS. Mechanics so change that quite a bit, especially if you’re unlucky - but if you’re doing like heroic hungering or inerva, it should be mighty close
Common mistakes are overcapping Combo points, wasting energy, and maintaining uptime on boss
also make sure you're simming with the raid buffs you have
i only run heroic at best, never mythic, tho, but in heroic i can only achieved less than 4k at best 😦
If you have any logs, a lot of people here will look at them!
we all start from somewhere my guy
!guide
is wowanalyzer reliable?
It’s sketch
I totally did the irresponsible thing and looked anyway - a lot of combo points are wasted. Remember for your finishers, you do max-1. So finishing on 4 is fine for any envenom or rupture
i found it very difficult to get 4 combo points 😦
its also fine to reapply rupture with low combo points, i believe thats preferable then letting it fall off.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/56102731
here is my logs ...dont laugh please lol
Hey we all started somewhere
so please beat me with your teaching mastah 
so
the thing i see
automatically
you let your rupture fall off A LOT
garrote should also be higher
And if that’s the case, you just spam mutilate too much. You waste a lot of CP on mutilate a lot. And I hadn’t even touched rupture yet
So that’s two very big dps increases
- just looking at hungering* you let garrote fall of fa bit, you only had rupture up 78% of the time
you wasted 59 combo points on mut, 28 on seal fate, 10 on garrote, 2 on sepsis
not as big, but you can save some cp/energy/time in the opener by doing Mut -> SnD -> Mut and then Envenom will keep Slice and Dice going the rest of the fight
i think i beter fixed my tunnel vision habit
Seal fate is sometimes avoidable - but the rest of it is. Only CP you should waste are seal fate and shiv both are excusable.
And a lot of it is just practice. Any time you have a question you’re more than welcome to ask here. We want rogues to succeed 
The key is to play relaxed
This is my cp gain on hc hungering as an example
the overcap/wasted are unavoidable
But focus on building to 4-5CP
and spending
even if you slow down your play
ahhh this is it, i get nervous very easy when raiding with my guildies, although there is no reason for it
Well if you are nervious is hard to think ahead
rn u are killing boss, so it's good time to improve
that's the biggest dps loss 😛
is there any weakauras or make it myself to track when sela fate is on?
so how to know when it procs?
you'll know because you'll get an extra combo point or two
so i better sepsis when CP is full?
seems like you're mutilating when you have full CP instead of using a finisher
esp here on Sludgefist
do you have WAs that track your combo points and bleeds? think it would help
ahhh i see
yes'
ahhh okok
is there anything i can log this convo LOL
I haven't been night fae in a minute
pretty sure it gives 1
yeah it's 1
looked it up
so use it at 4 or less CP
5 or less if deeper stratagem talented
i'm capturing this convo, wait, lol
be aware of the base CP that your abilities generate
and play around that
keep your bleeds up at all times, refreshing in pandemic range
make sure you shiv on cooldown
so the key is to finish at 4 CP, dont overspam mutilate, dont let garrotte adn rupture falls off
what i do when CP is full when finishers arent ready yet?
finishers are always ready
You refresh rupture when required
Else you envenom
I won't go in to pooling effectively yet cos it's already big info overload
Focus on your bleed uptime
Get them to 90% or better
For now
And focus on not overcapping on combo points
bleed uptime means garotte and rupture right?
Yes sir
how do you see the cp wasted?
Resources > combo points
it must be when i was panicking, or looking on Details counter LOL
ty!
play without looking at details man you are fixed in 4 pixels of the screen instead on the boss
wait my cat caught a bat...................
keeping up bleed at 99% or close to it is an essential practice habit. It gets you learning about the refresh timing and skill planning.
okay sir, well noted
Yeah next raid night let us know how it goes with higher uptime on bleeds!
Pooling energy?
Every time you shouting crap I'm in shiv and I need to refresh rupture makes you stronger.
^^
yes
What benefit does pooling energy give?
more damage in your shiv window
It's also a slight damage gain overall clipping the envenom buff
<---- 100% retail noob
- Pool on envenom (as in get about 30 from your maximum energy before casting envenom), when you are not inside of a burst window (vendetta, shiv, flag). This maximizes uptimes for poisons and buffs, but is generally not a big increase.
in the pin
Pooling is the core sin habit for not using your energy so fast that you are energy exhaust and lose DPS in some window e.g. the env buff.
Just not quite significant for the current patch, but small things count.

so what about Ambush? should i use it everytime it's up, or waiting for free ambush to cast it?
only cast when it's free
my ICD is giving me versatility, i have 518 (12.95%) vers vs 586 crit (+16.74%) - anyone know why?
it gives one of your 2 highest stats outside lust
during lust your highest is guaranteed
i am using Mystler WA for my sin
ah thanks
ah okay thanks
and should i just ignores the stats like the guides here said or should i put it more to it?
Assassination WA's:

shouild i put more haste?
i mean wtf now I just got a haste proc and i have more crit than haste 😢
priority stats
ah nice, thanks
Well, guys, it's a privilege to have you help me here, i can't thank you enough for it 
thank you thank you

Any time!! If you have any more questions, always ask! We’re here to help
i will i will
and i will share my raid logs after i'm learning from you guys, please be patience with me
for i'm a slow learner 
No worries, best of luck, and we’ll see those logs soon 

ye let us know
i will

Sorry all, in m+ 15s on tyran are you still running CT or PB?
ct all day
i thought so, sorry, arguing with a friend whos new to rogue 😄
CT
Run outlaw 
for burst I do 4/5 combo - shiv - vendetta - vanish - envenom right?
For what purpose would you want to "Burst"?
sludge
i'm watching and not approving your behavior
You would Vendetta before he hits the pillar, Shiv right as he hits the pillar and then vanish - Env-
pirate players 
is simc simulation rotation is true? both opener and rest?
Rogue pirate*
pirate pirate
u dont have to vanish at max cp
:(
yeah u do
Look at this reply to see a perfectly executed vulnerability window. @oak trout
then as he is about to hit, shiv vend vanish env
Almost.
why would u shiv before vendetta ?
i dont idk why i typed shiv then vend
This is the correct way
i usually vendetta as he's running then shiv right before he hits
Gcd
vendetta is out of the gcd
True haha
Imagine all of these outlaw/sub players coming in here
And trying to give out advice
I joke
You're all welcome here 


Imagine players playing the three spec 
ok then i'm getting called otp cool behavior mr ceverion
i m looking for an advice or adjust for opener , muti > slice > muti > garrote then what Flag > Rupture > Shiv > vendetta or Muti > Slice > Muti > garrote then Vendetta > Flag > Rupture > Shiv
Don't confuse me with Rae
I think you're doing just fine.
The first one is closer to correct. You would want to Vendetta before Shiv but otherwise it's good.
And why not use flag after he hit thw pillar?
flag's main damage is from the cp dumping
the second would be, if on pull u dont have lust right ?
Isnt flag usage high damage
u press vend just before vanish
Grats, I'm 9 weeks dry (excluding one week between)
for the energy regen
aight ty
Sure, but if you cast it at the beginning you would be wasting the duration and delaying Shiv usage.
i was thinking vendetta %30 profits the Flag initial
thanks, actually an insane upgrade when using 226MH and 220OH
That's me...

please take my daggers
i literally have like 4 mists 226 ohs daggers
Yuup
So overal delaying shiv would be a bigger loss then what u gain from flag initial. Hmm
imagine if u had full 233 gear 
it drives me crazy
Yes. Flag lasts for 12s, pillar lasts for 12s. If you spend 2 seconds running to the pillar and then use it when he hits it, you lose 3 seconds of Flag and a second of Shiv.
Not worth.
im still waiting for a 226 crit haste chest piece 
It's okay, I'm getting several 233 items today - if I'm even in for SLG/Sire. Maybe not
u were waiting for a gloomblade pvp meta as well,might have to wait a bit longer 😂
im joking,wishes for all the luck
Hah, got you beat there
I would trade it for any 233 piece in an instant though
gloomblade actually pumps in pvp
the mists chest piece is a 1.2% upgrade for me :(
council too but that shit isnt ever going to drop for me
BECAUSE I KEEP
GETTING THE STUPID TRINKET
@rotund oak u just jealous i pump 40k gloomblade bursts 
I could use the 226 dagger from Council. :'(
i give u my 226 council dagger
u give me ur 226 chest piece
@limber lion pls 
im so sick
of getting daggers
Cev 
It's okay. Today is the day

wish sin had something like gloomblade 
wish sub was good like sin
exsang is so dogshit that i literally couldnt make a build for it

9.1 sub 
is it possible for vent to control two loyal in HoA?
yes
pull both and click the button quickly
you have to cast the second "control" ability right after the first one
if you click it too late you wont be able to
no
you dont need to target any of them im pretty sure
just have both of them near you
great
Correct, you just spam the extra action button and you should be able to nab both
!guide
When using Deeper Strategem, is it worth it to finish at 4cp if you can get another envenom in during the 9s Shiv nature dmg buff?
No, always finish max-1
Okay, thanks
No problem 
Will my (worse) sin gear still do better on sludge?
It's slightly worse, but im thinking the burst + execute might make up for it?
You forgot to sim a covenant with your sin set.
did for me
But yes, your assassination will do much better. You should be playing EP/Vig with it though
I'll sim it for you
oh weird. I'm necrolord so not sure why it didnt pick it up automatically
Here you go
That's what you should run on Sludge.
Beats your Outlaw pretty clearly and even if it was similar it would beat it by class design.
ty. good spot
Huge 
if u really wanna minmax sludge venthyr is pretty good for it since flag does a lot of dmg on vulnerability phases
but also SBS is much better on the 2 bosses after sludge
Yeah I'm literally only sin for this fight so I'm going to stick with necrolord
SBS does giga damage as well.
Do you pool SBS charges for pillars?
SBS actually does more damage on average.
Yes.
on pillars ?
Apart from the first one of course
Overall.
on sludge ?
But it doesn't take into account the haste from Flag of course.
It's just the damage
Yep
kk
whats sbs
Serrated Bonespike, Necrolord's covenant ability.
oh ok
also what legendary should i go? im mainly gonna do m+ until im more geared but i want to raid when im further into endgame
Zoldyck is the best choice for M+ and it's pretty good in raids as well.
M+ Zoldyck’s, raid is Doomblade
It's the best overall legendary.
awesome thanks 😄
you too
I like how CT is making an apperance this tier
Still our best AoE ability.
Vanish pull, 2nd and 4th?
On Sludge? Yes.
Pillars on sludge?
Yes
Yeah so vendetta on pull, 2nd and 4th. And shiv every pillar and once in between pillars?
Did I miss anything?
Yes sir.
You hold your covenant abilities for pillars as well. You also want to run on-use trinkets and use those on pillars as well.
DFV/Memory is the most common combo.
Wait, I actually had a not troll question. Do we flag on vanish for the crit or does that not apply/is too minimal of a gain to be arsed?
No, we use Vanish for Mutilates/Envenoms only. Not Flag.
No, they have a 20cd cooldown whenever you use one.
By using 2 you can have one trinket for each pillar.
Ah ok I get you
I figured crit might be GIGA for it, that’s why I was curious.
Memory on pull, DFV on p1, Memory on p2, DFV on p3 and Memory on p4
Na. You use Flag before the pillar anyways and Vanish during the pillar
If p1 and p2 are not an issue for denathrius is zoldjck going to outdo doomblade?
I have DFV and codex.... Codex seems not worth?
mythic as well
Yeh, don't use that.
In p3 yes.
have had lots of <2% wipes
Flag before pillar? Actual gaming. I also meant in general not just sludge lmao it was a side question
Yeah, definitely play with Zoldyck and DS/BS then
Yes. We never use Flag with Vanish.
Ooh so I should use skulkers DFV instead of chain DFV on sludge
Yes would recommend it.
If you’re reliably getting p1/p2 down and are that close with p3, extra Execute will be huge
Some people have had tragedies with skulkers by having them pull them too far and kill their partner
But with the recent nerfs to Sludge it shouldn't be a problem
pop everything on pull so you have it for lust on last pillar
What does CT uptime normally look like on Denath through the end of P2? Really struggling to keep it up with prioritizing getting rupture onto adds and then bursting with Shiv.
ok. need some dummy time before tonight. thanks folks 😄
No worries!
Yeah I’ve had this happen once. I try to be careful with it now lol.
Doesn't honestly matter.
It changes from pull to pull for everyone.
Don't look at it.
I was chained to a DH who went the opposite direction as my skulkers hit. ):
^, then again i scuffed the shit out of our first sire pull :/
I figure it'll trend up as I get more comfortable with the fight anyway, I was just curious how much to prioritize, but it sounds like the answer is don't haha
I take it if you get "unlucky" and proc 5 CPs at the start of a pillar, you just shiv anyway and overcap?
Yeah, you just use it normally as you would. You keep it up as much as possible.
Some people prioritize the priority damage from using Envenoms during Shiv windows
Yeah shiv over cap is fine I think
But for more overall you just slam Shiv and rupture/CT everything.
It’s the only thing that is ok to overcap
Yes.
Yesterday was my first time using it, so I don't have a sense for how to use it overall. I'm told I just try to keep it up, but don't refresh it during Shiv windows.
You pool energy and build to 4-5 CP before the pillar.
You should refresh during Shiv windows if there is 2 or more targets.
That rule only applies in single target.
I’m glad you said this I’m trolling huntsman then.
Didn't realize, that's really good to know. So on M Sire I really shouldn't pay attention to whether I have Shiv up or not when it's entering pandemic.
Still managed 6.3k overall with 214 ilvl on my first@mythic huntsman kill
Don't worry, it's not a huge thing
Yes. You should pretty much be keeping CT up as much as possible during P2
@hollow river thats not bad esp for that ilvl
Got it.
Thanks sir
CT on huntsman is also giga
Yes it is
also heroing on pull
But when they take the dog away I cringe
just dot it and let it run
I do
it should be back eventually
Sometime I chase it down to@make sure I’ve got it completely dotted
Then shadow step huntsman
eh
I pretty much just plant on that fight, dog comes in for a few seconds, i get everything up, then go back to hunts
You should definitely keep all bleeds on both of them at all times as much as you can.
Once the bleeds drop on the dog, you should run there to dot it up again.
I typically don’t get time to put up every dot before they move it
Or just shadowstep to the dog and walk back with it
Eventually the tank brings it back
I normally just sprint to the dog, bleed it up and step back to Huntsman
So I chase for at least CT or something
what does the optimal use of serrated bone spike look like on single target/multi?
Yup
ST: first GCD of the fight, then you dump everything during Heirmir's gemstone windows.
AOE: you use SBS on everything around you so everything has the dot on them. Then you use them during Gemstone procs again.
our kill the dog isn't out long enough for bleeds to expire
Prioritize targets that die quickly, as you get resets from them
Well you’re guild is too giga ok
no i mean i think you can time it to where it comes back in
Ohhh yeah ofc
wasn't meaning to brag, i just think it works oujt that way
I thought you meant you guys killed it that fast rofl
Yeah a lot of guilds just take the dog out for an eternity and bring it back only after shades spawn.
our dog is out for a total of 17 seconds
Some guilds just move it like 3s before Rip Soul happens and then brings it straight back
which is right when garrote needs to be refreshed
I’ve only done mythic once but out tanks seemed like they were on it with timing
Our
forsure, at the end of the day boss ded
gg
Does cloak work on them?
Wow
In our kit that is.
Does Crimson Tempest Bleed count as bleed damage and do you get energy regen per Venomous Wounds
BOP does work.
I popped everything
turtle works
And I barely got off a second of flesh craft
It is bleed damage yes, but it does not count for Venomous Wounds.
VW specifies which bleeds work.
It works on the DoT that Sinseeker leaves, but not the initial physical damage.
So BoP + Cloak will fully immune it.
How often should I fok for poisons
you just can't soak with cloak
Okay
Can't really answer that question. Just make sure the poisons are up
You don't need to specifically FoK to keep them up
You can just tab target and melee or Mutilate
Right
Cloak removed the dot. But nothing works for the initial damage. Except cheat death BABY. Survived a sac arrow allay night as well
On Huntsman you never FoK for example.
Anecdotally, as long as you're close to full, you can Cheat Death on the Sinseeker and Cloak to avoid the DoT finishing you off, but that's risky and shouldn't be planned around.
Yeah, but in P3 you still die by the initial damage.
Or well, pop Cheat Death
Would be a cool legendary - each bleed you apply counts towards venomous wounds
Yeah, I lived a P3 Sinseeker with Cheat Death last time I ran it, but that only worked as far as I know because I was almost full HP.
P2 I was a soaker and just before sun seeker went off, our pally went down so I had no BoP. I’ve no idea how I didn’t die to the seeker there
I think over the course of the entire fight i had 5 FoK
even with 2 shade + boss + bear?
Last night during raid my toon kept untargetting the bosses randomly.
i mean I wasn't saying it was needed, just that i did it
Like even on ST so I know I wasn’t hitting tab
Gotta be some macro
Yep wasn't implying that.
Make sure to have sticky targeting on.
looks like we both did 9.8k cev 😛
Kk I just transferred servers yesterday
Maybe my settings reset. All my add ons reset.
i wanted to try MFD
Toxic
Where is Sticky Targeting? I've had this issue recently too actually.
Interface
Wow settings
It's the very first thing when you open up Settings > Interface
Hope it fixes the issue for you!
It's so dumb.
i went from 9.2 to like 9.6ish
I always used my cooldowns with Marghore because I wanted to have double the bleeds for maximum energy regen during Vendetta window
But the damage amp is dumb
yeah
Oooh that reminds me. For purposes of IQD calculating your two highest stats, does it take into account things like Vantus and raid buffs? Or is it purely equipment substats?
You definitely need to hold for it if you're looking to parse :p
parsing on that fight is pseudo cheesed
No, but it does take into account things like food buff, soulbind effects (Theotar's umbrella for example)
Definitely.
The more people die, the better parse you get :D
i just got iqd yesterday and im playing around with it. So many sim options
It's a lot of fun
I used IQD on Outlaw so it's fun to have it actually be good haha
wait what
People say IQD isn't very good for Outlaw.
I used it in M+ anyway because I liked the utility.

What covenant are you?
I personally prefer nadjia double potency
I was looking at draven
so thats out of the picture then?
and what is your 2nd potency conduit youre running then?
Lashing scars and Poison Katar if you’re doing thicc pulls or lethal poisons as a generically good conduit
Yeah draven sucks
Draven is perma not an option on 9.0
All of his abilities seem healer oriented
Theotar with Wasteland.
It sims pretty much identically to Nadja double-pot, without taking into account the Vers you give to your team.
is the 3% not neglible?
DD is pretty bad for M+.
That’s st and doesn’t apply to everyone it’s really bad for M+
no i mean, the tea time 3%
Ahhh
i both got katar and lethal at 200 ilvl
3% times 5 is 15%
Also our potencies are dog shit.
Like
Really bad
If Wasteland does the same damage as Nadja with double pot, why wouldn't you use Wasteland then?
It's the same damage + you get free vers for everyone
true
Wdym you don’t like 25 dps conduits?
ill sim it
Thrill Seeker procs at random points where you might not get any value out of it
Umbrella might be pretty scuffed as well
can i sim dungeon slice
or doesnt that work for ass rogue
i know it doesnt work for boomies so
Blizzard’s fascination with ground effect buffs is interesting seeing as everything requires movement these days
Yes you should for us
I still didn’t get around socketing draven kekw
Dungeon Slice is really good for Rogues.
Our apl is tailored so it works well in DSlice as well.
It includes restealths and time to die variables.
btw, why isnt hidden blades being reworked?
Umbrella is hella scuffed is only reason I go double pot
its absoulutely dogshit
Or venom rusg
Because blizzard doesn’t like us
Rush*
Btw. Doesn’t mean I’m right here. Yeah our talents are actually hella scuffed in general
well venom rush used to be great last xpansion at certain points
do 213 potency conduits actually drop anywhere
No idea why conduits wouldn’t be the same 
It's never been great.
Some drop in heroic raid
It just didn't have better alternatives.
thats what i meant :p
With Alacrity you never take either ever.
alactratirytrytri is just too good to pass on
Alacrity actually the cursed talenr
Legion venom rush was purty good iirc
Yeh, that's the last time we used it.
The bfa and sl iteration has been absolute trash
It was extra energy on ticks tough or something in legion
No
Every 4 mutilates get one for free 
It's the literal same talent
Oh my bad
Nowadays we just have Poison Bomb on the last row
And Venom Rush is on the second to last row instead of TB
It is just an awful talent.
That's Toxic Blade.
Yes
it's not
It's baseline
It's called Shiv now
You don't talent into it anymore
It's baseline
I’m pretty sure venom rush increased the energy from venomous wounds once upon a time
it did ^
i can remember that
probs around mythic dazalor, when i stopped
playing the rouge
Yeah in 7.0
In Emerald Nightmare it still did
But it’s okay we have powerhouse options like exsang

It was like that for the entirety of Legion
WCL just uses the current iteration of Venomous Wounds
Our talents are so incredibly funny
@limber lion i was right doe the legion one XD
One patch
8.3 with stupid high haste
Because we had absurd haste
Yeah, just like I just said xd
If rupture is getting close to pandemic, do you hold shiv to refresh it first?
So you dont have to rupture in shiv
I would yes
