In M+ your main goal is to dot everything up pretty much
Garotte, fan of knives and serrated bone spikes if you're necro are your primary builders
alright
Mut on ≤3, fok on ≥4
usually what i do for aoe since im only level 40 currently is ill use a 5 combo point envenom to get the buff and then spam fan of knives to give as many mobs the increased poison damage as possible is that the right thing to do
Ah you don't have crimson tempest yet
nope
But no, not quite
You want to open with 3 garottes, then fok, (you'd CT after the first fok if you had it), but then you'd start putting up SnD and ruptures
kk
3cp ruptures are fine, they don't always have to be 4 or 5
wait if snd is falling off would i not want to use my combo points to activate it again
or is that where i use mutilate
If you're at 4 combo points you should use a finisher unless you can garotte or shiv to get the last one
Oh wait do you even have cut to the chase at 40? I don't think you do
Well, at your level you'll have to use combo points to extend it
But at max level envenom increases the duration of slice and dice
So then you'd use envenom only to extend SnD really, or if there's just a couple mobs left
Deadly and crippling, or deadly and numbing
kk
At high levels tanks kite mobs a lot so you want to slow them for them
At your level numbing is fine
Also there are some enemies that have dangerous enrages that you'd want to dispel with shiv with mind numbing poison active
For solo stuff, Crippling I find to be nice. For M+ I'd ask the tank unless it's ToP or DoS then Numbing. For raids, numbing.
I hate holding shiv for dispelling enrage as Assa though...
It's always on cooldown when I need it for some reason 
It feels really bad, but it's not a huge deal actually
Shiv practically does nothing in aoe especially if you're target swapping a lot
True, but in DoS and ToP there's like mainly cleave packs where you'd use dispel enrage
WIth numbing poison it does
It does in the tooltip
cause it just says it slows their casting speed and attack speed
It does but u have to have numbing poison on
ohh ok
For both poison and shiv
thats why you bring a nice hunter and druid, so you can dps in peace 😄 😄
does anyone use the estimated time to die from ert?
I'm always Outlaw in m+ though so shiv is not useful for anything else
yeah, we have so much aoe i go mostly for st in assa because thats what our group struggles with
also, my hands hurt after 3 dungeons as outlaw 😄
I'm curious as to why deadly poison is on my sims is meant to be my top damage but it not even nearly nearly doing the supposed damage?
Easier to answer if you link the sim
is this one of our best endurance conduits?
this is the most used one in m+
but the one that reduces energy cost on vial
and feitn
and people ague thats even a dps up
actually yeah i dont think you press snd as much on ass rogue
u mean this one ?
okay so ill go get it
Can’t see anything wrong with the sim so prob should be your top dmg I guess. May have to do with daggers beeing lower ilvl than your gear combined with high haste but smarter ppl might be able to give a better answer
This doesn’t matter. Tooltip is wrong. I heals as long as snd is up. Casts doesn’t matter
@sacred isle thanks for that
i see
then yeah thats crazy
i thought you had to hard cast it
so both are good
but 0.5% hp/sec just seems better
And the feint/vial one isn’t a dps increase. It’s a less decrease when you do use vial or feint. Which tbh is probably the least used defensives in the game as they lower your dmg 🙂
Because in Details deadly poison is split into 2 different damage breakdowns, the dot and the instant portion.
In raidbots it combines the two.
The world makes sense now XD
If you click the deadly poison in raidbots you can see the damage breakdown of dot/instant damage
:p
Glad to hear it.
I honestly don't know how I even missed that lmao
that moment you do a world quest to get a conduit then you go turn in your calling open the cache and get the same exact conduit
It says that because you're using crippling poison. Change to numbing and the tooltip will change accordingly.
I personally use Nimble Fingers more. I use Crimson Vial a lot so it really helps there. I prefer on-demand defensives instead of very, very slight passive healing.
what conduits am i gonna want
for necro
and ill just use whatever is the reccommended soulbind
Heirmir with Sudden Fractures.
Endurance/Fitness conduits are a matter of preference.
i think ill want endurance
also what stats do i want on my legendary
mastery and haste?
Crit and haste
That looks awful
just going with the sims 😔
I doubt the sim is telling you to get 30% haste.
You're the first person I've seen that has 30% haste.
my simc
legit simmed everything, enchants, talents etc
this is supposedly the highest simming i can do
Very interesting.
Most people are seeing crit pull ahead as Necro at 25% ish haste.
I'll sim around and see what's up
whould have been more convincing if u did a top gear sim and not quick sim 
are u simming with diff gem/ench variations
I am now.
mean mr otehr guy
i got 21% haste and i still want crit > all but im venth
Maybe your character is a massive exception to that rule, who knows why
But once this sim finishes, we'll see
im a 300k iteration gamer
Guys on mythic councils is there point of bleeding and poisoning second and third boss while fighting first one?
Yes, you should have one extra boss affected by both Garrote and Rupture.
Can i know why? Just want to understand why i do it
Because you get more energy from having them up on a secondary target.
More energy = more damage on your main target
hmm 5.8k dps with 205 ilvl on sludge, not bad
More energy from Venomous proc?
From Venomous Wounds, yes.
are we panicking about Doomblade and 9.1 raid sockets yet
Changing a neck and the gem in your hat will be a dps boost.
Cool, one more thing, should i stick to st talents or Elaborate planing+vigor combination?
EP + Vigor is better for fights with multiple targets.
Nah.
Okey. Ty very much for helping :)
okay let me know when panic time starts
No panic here, just vibing
Pretty sure it'll be when the pre-patch hits.
That looks better
Wait 
Are you always out of energy as a sin?
Im currently trying it out on heroics are always out of energy
Using planning and vigor
And Im Necro
Not really.
Not really - it’s not 8.3 fast but I have energy a fair amount of time
What’s your ilvl?
In AoE especially you never really run out of energy.
217
You just need to make sure you have bleeds up on everything
602 haste
Garrote/Rupture everything
More haste than me 
Yeah you 100% should be doing fine in energy
In ST Im always out of energy :(
There’s a few second downtime every now and then
Melee is my highest dmg 
what do you play in AoE @limber lion terms of talents
EP/Subt/Vig/CT
Oh look it's almost the highest for me too 
And for everyone else
That's very often the case early on in new expansions
And for many melee specs, not just for Assassination
Mhmmm okay
Just feels weird to be autoing
Only have 8 days on Rogue and they were all outlaw
And trying out sin for raid
Would it mainly be because of weapons?
Not really. It's just how scaling works. Once we get more items, more agility, more borrowed power, etc. then our melee will start to plummet and other abilities will show up top.
So are you saying that.... Assassin scales?
In BFA there were some cases where melee wasn't our highest damage, but that was mainly because of all the borrowed power that we got straight away in 8.0.
I'm saying that everything scales.

😂😂😂😂😂
Big brain
/cast Mutilate /stopattack
Ur just @focus target all abilites and just target the main tank
Or have a bug reset the melee swing
I’ve gone stinky 
I do hate the renown grind 
It was quite quick going LFR into Normal raid, then Heroic
Got quite a bit of renown that way in a day
Yeah I started LFR last night and I’m at like renown 8?
I am doing the story quest in between as it’s a long queue
I actually didn’t know you could question lfr and heroics at the same time 
I knew you could do two wings at once
I’ll try tonight 
I also can do the world boss for that SF conduit 
Queue's are quick after that first pop, after that you're high on the queue for all the other wings
Yeah and raid was canceled today so we’re either doing keys or heroic tonight and that’ll help as well
Raid being canceled is what lead me to make the swap 
Yeah, SBS feels nice by quite a bit
I love SBS but man I see other rogue in raid burstin 15k dps
You didn't like doing the soulbind swap strat @limber lion ?
Feelsbadman
I do, but there's not much point when I'm private logging with my new guild now.
What is this class... 3.5k Council 77% parse on Heroic?
I did it to improve my logs but there's no logs to be had, so what's the point :p
I was like “my ST went way down, wtf?” And I forgot my trinket was macro’d to flag 
Lotta intermission on quick kills
Ouf, sounds so annoying to private log
Parsing is half the fun
hmm cev swapped his mog to legion shoulders after he saw me with it 
I swapped because I got Invincible. :3
Had to make a scuffed mog to fit it
Ayo?! Grats
Yep. Guess I'll be a heroic log andy for a while now
i will be inactive andy 3 days game time left 
Similar to Outlaw.
Something like that yes.
You keep all of your maintenance stuff up and use everything on cooldown.
Maintain slice and dice
!guide
Do cooldowns
It's pretty simple.
Etc
Curious, if running lashing, what is the min cp to spend on? Or is squeezing out those last few lashes not really worth
For subderfuge st do we ever double garrote for extened empowered garrote
no, not on ST. just the once.
the extra CPs helped a lot with that too
45 energy on 1 CP for like 4 seconds on garrote, not really worth
no minimum, it's not shown a gain to try and squeeze out more stacks, just do as many finishers as possible while still following the max -1 rule
Ok tyty, what about sub 30% with zolds up, useing vanish in this scenario obviously
Ty. Then I'll just pray for extra cp
np
and he's talking about double garrote with subterfuge during zoldyck
but i don't think that changes anything
O
Ye that mata
Right even that no. Misread it as the lash
I’m unsure what you mean here, could you elaborate?
he is probably asking if its worth doing a 2-3 cp finisher if lashing buff is almost ending
He's asking if lashing is about to run out, should you use 2CP on it or just let it run out?
pretty sure nothing changes, you do max - 1 cp finisher like normal, even with lash on
yep
Yeah you just let it run out
I just wanted to clarify that was the question was all lol
F
how does necro feel for assa in 9.1 PTR ? I am thinking whether I should level the renown. I hate necro but I see more and more rogues going for it even now
During flag window. Min cp to spend to get the most out of lashes. Wasn't sure if there was a point where it was ok to spend less than normal. Sometimes you just get really unlucky ig
It's great and probably the preferred choice for raiding and m+.
fucking hell.. very well then
I'm torn between completing my r4 Zolydyck and just stockpiling soul ash for 9.1... 😦
9.1 is not for a couple of months at least
and you'll be getting more ash in 9.1 itself
Yeah but Zoldyck more than likely won't even be used in 9.1
Might be.
why not
Maybe, depends on how hard the SBS leggo gets fucked
Always max-1. No exceptions.
i hate the Necrolord covenant itself, not the ability 😄 the zone, the transport system is the worst of the 4, and all about it.
Ty ty
You can still stick to Venthyr.
Venth will most likely still be the ST choice
And by no means is it a bad covenant.
understood. thank you
As long as you don't play Kyrian, you're good!
tbh i actually like seat of the primus now
also extremely strong for sub going forward, if that takes your fancy. 'tis a large buff. but can't really go wrong with either.
it's better than heart of the forest or sinfall
sbs is great
Sbs is my favorite ability.
The reason I say something like Zoldyck won't be used is because currently (without simming anything), the SBS legendary for Necro just flat out looks stronger. Also, the Shards of Domination are going to switch up Leggos, as a r5 Shard is worth 1.5% DPS and Doomblade is only 1% DPS better ST than Dashing Scoundrel. (Both Doomblade spots takes up a raid socket, DS doesn't).
I miss soulshape tho
afaik the domination sockets have a cap lower than what you'd get if you ran all the slots. i'd have to double check that though.
There is a 3-piece bonus that activates in the Maw and Torghast... but I've seen nothing at all about a "cap" on stats
uhhh do we know what the shards actually are?
we do
We do
Unholy Offensive is probably going to be the best because it's a flat 1.5% bonus at rank 5
where are the rogue ones
for now
i saw that article but it only has DK shards?
but either way, i'd doubt they'd punish specific slot legendaries like that, especially since there's no refunding. that's a wait and see for now.
Ima just to the clever thing, and wait for whisp to pin what the fuck i’m suppose to build/use next tier
theorycrafting above me
sorry, I'm confused now - there are different shards for tank/dps/healer? or different for each class & spec?
or you just get 3 different types
those are all the effects, for everyone
you pick which one you want
if you have 3 of the same (blood/frost/unholy) you get a buff
wait, the types are actually called blood and frost and unholy?
yes

XD
surely someone at blizzard thought "this might be confusing"
The entire intro to this expansion was dk related so not to surprising tbh. Prob a hint to runeforging
well, this is the company that made 52 iterations of corruption so, lol
or however many that math came out to
I'm pretty sure Blizzard thought, "People are adults and realize that just because something's called 'Blood' doesn't mean that ONLY Blood DKs can use it."
considering datamining comes in batches, I thought they only mined the first class' shards
Current deathspike was already simmed. It’s about the same as Zoldyk (less than 0.5% if I remember correctly), so you’d probably still use zoldyk for the execute damage on progression
But we won’t know for sure until everything goes live 
I'm hoping it comes down to "use whatever you want they are so close it doesn't matter"
always the hope, i would not hold my breath 
People will still say "But this is 0.03% better so the other one is unplayable!"
But fuck them
I mean they dont really change the gameplay too much right
I mean in theory unless you’re pushing world first content, you can and should play what you want unless it’s something silly like the maw rat leggo. Right?
Any duskgamers 
If there was a legendary that had a chance to proc fleshcraft shield on finisher... That might actually be dope af.
Plus I’m a huge advocate of playing something that you have fun with. If you enjoy it, you’ll just perform better where if there’s something simming 1% better but you hate the play style that 1% gap would shrink simply because you play worse with it
But this is just
on my end
Some legendaries just smooth shit out
Cinders on Destro Warlock is a great example of that
It just FEELS better once you have that
hey guys good morning
Well if you're planning on killing Mythic Kel'thuzad, then yeah.
I'm thinking because of the sockets
I'm assuming 90% of this Discord will kill 2-3 Mythic bosses and no more.
People worry about legendary slots a bit too much IMO. Horde (heh) your soul ash from now until 9.1 and just see where the rest of ptr takes us
Yep. Don't play the most optimal stuff if you absolutely despise the playstyle and hate every second of it. A difference as small as that won't be the defining factor whether or not you parse purple or orange. It's a video game, have fun in it.
Well, my guild is still progressing so I actually need to upgrade my r2 Zolds to r4
the question is if you want to have worse stats for majority of the tier just for the off chance of killing mythic KT and get the drop
No
The question is do you want an extra Shard of Domination gem that gives you 1.5% DPS
Or not
Stop at rank 3, rank 3->4 isn’t that big of a dps gain tbh
Well most of the regulars here are gamers.
Yeah, but world wide less than 2000 guilds have killed Mythic Sire
Well, you were talking about 2-3 bosses and only this discord.
Now you're saying the world and Mythic Sire.
Sure
They're two different things.
But obviously the more bosses, the fewer people have done it.
Yep
IMO it's more important for us plebs to optimize more than the world first. We simply aren't as good and need any "free" benefit we can get outside of just playing better
I actually think the exact opposite, people that are not that great dont need to talk about +- 30 dps difference in sims, because there are bigger issues with the playstyle or mechanics
I can confidently say my rank 4 legendaries have nothing to do with my parses
I got good parses with rank 3 legendaries, the little bit of agi and secondary stats are minimal in the grand scheme of it all
I also do disagree but I can understand your point of view as well.
I look at it like this - "being better" is always the BEST choice. Someone who just performs better will almost always win in terms of damage when comparably geared.
Worse players should spend more time and energy improving themselves instead of optimizing for 20 dps. Human error, fight length etc. matters more than any piece of gear or talent ever will.
You're also not going to get the full value of that optimization if you're playing stinky anyway
Sure you should always want to be better if you play this game to be the best. But at the end of the day it’s much like people who try to hit certain stat thresholds: it’s mostly in your head as it’s really a minuscule amount of dps you’re minmaxinf 
Everyone has different skill caps. "Getting better" sounds very easy - but for some people it's just not.
A lot of people actually perform worse on "optimized" setups because they are not familiar with them or they simply do not enjoy them.
The placebo of playing something that you like will carry you further than an "optimal talent" that does 20 dps more, but that you hate.
I have a friend who never played the Starlord talent as a Boomkin because he hated it
yeah
After I told him to get used to it and play more with it, he eventually swapped and his dps plummetted
Case in point: I couldn’t do shit for damage with ghostly strike when I played outlaw. When it’s clearly the superior choice ST
After he swapped back to whatever he was playing before, he was performing a lot better all of a sudden
for me vigor / ds is great example of this, theres not much difference, but just because with vigor I generally just mutilate twice and finish makes it way more simple and I can pay more attention to mechanics than to think for that quarter of a second if to muti again or finisher already
Your comfort with the play style > 50-100 dps from the superior set up
I always try to optimize myself for the absolute highest damage for every encounter, but I don't think that's a required thing or even a preferred thing for people who are raiding at the lower ladder.
Absolute min-maxing really only matters if you’re on a deadline to clear content (world first, hall of fame, highest keys in the world, etc)
If you enjoy min-maxing and you want to do it, do it!
Play what you like and have fun
If you hate it, don't do it. Who cares.
I've always said - there are survival hunters who get CE
The moment my raid says i can't play sub on farm i will get the hell out
Just because something is "bad" doesn't mean it's unplayable
100% you can clear all content with whatever you want. Eventually gear gets better and dps checks get less tight
Currently i get memed in guild discord because i played sub on slg and did a 75% log while the others have green parses but did a bit more dps
Yeah I got roasted for my 99 parse on heroic sludge because I was 7th on the meters 
Cev blue parsing?!
the world is ending
Tactics changed so my dps went to the trash bin
I'm setting r1 item level parses like it's my fucking job...
Item level parses are irrelevant
My overall parses are getting better too
tell me about it, i am fucking green on slg from going on 10 min kill timers to like a 6 min and died last phase 


and there was like 0 dmg spreading and only st in intermissions due to speed run and shit
never lucky
should just pad anyway
sin dots do 0 dmg
I really hope 9.1 mythic is mostly st with movement without melee uptime loss
You say that, but they actually pump
I got a r1 ilvl parse. That other rogue didn't stand a chance 😎
thats true, but I suppose not all people have such a strong position in the group that would let them play whatever they want
Assassination parses are pretty respectable overall. Turns out my parses are... well pretty bad. Maybe "Imma stab it" isn't really optimizing.
like in all guilds I have been people have been pushed to change spec just so that the fights get easier
I don't agree with it, I think execution > class or spec, but thats just how it is
I can't wait to laugh when all the aoe no st shitters get back to reality
people in my guild keep talking about "uncapped aoe" as being the biggest deal, like where do you need the uncapped aoe nowadays
even most m+ runs I have been in don't make huge pulls where uncapped aoe would come into play
The only uncapped aoe i know is the full room trash pull before hungering
I just want to get my rogue to getting full blue parses across the board and then I'll be happy. Baby steps.
Gotta start from somewhere :p
Hell yeah
This will be my 4th week of raiding
Poor rogue turns a month old on Sunday night
First phase mythic sire is a bit more than 20 adds
I have 2 grey sire parses of 2 kills and get memed while all others were grey in their 2 first kills too and still parse grey, but i am the bad one 
I've died on both of my Mythic Shriekwing kills 😦
I swear my guild purposefully tries to cover the fucking room in red
How do you die in shriekwing though?
Someone probably missed the only instruction on that fight “don’t drop shit on the lantern”
Every now and then my screen goes black. I don't know if it's my GPU or just the driver keeps crashing because of something fucked in my registry
Usually happens once every 2-3 days if I don't reboot
I pugged mythic shriekwing and died so my only public parse is 5% because my heroic guild private logs lol
Heroic guild private logging? 

That's a first that I've ever heard of.
Oh fuck. I'm VERY behind on huntsman... lol
Oh hey, there's Cev at spot #10 on Huntsman
Idk why. If i remember correctly, all of my parses are between 68 and 88 on heroic so not really good but it's my first tier raiding ever
Why don't you just personal log?
If my guild told me I couldn't log something, I'd find a new guild.
ran with some randos last night for mythic 1-3, tell me how i can improve https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ZdD8TqBxGC1vPh2m#fight=11&type=damage-done
please and thanks <3
No one has ever talked about the private logging and I haven't bothered to ask why just not make them public. The guild has really nice atmosphere but there aren't enough people willing to try mythic so I'll probably have to leave at some point :(
Where did you see that a r5 shard is 1.5% dps?
Portentous Shard of Dyz - Portentous Shard of Dyz: Damaging a target increases your damage done to that target by 0.5% for 4 sec, stacking up to 3 times.
Unholy - Offensive gem
Are you rupturing everything in sight and then CT and keep garrote on sire/Ramona or how are you playing p2
That's not 1.5% dps though, it's 1.5% extra damage
Yeah that's two very different things
It's slightly different
Otherwise vendetta would increase our dps by 30% and it doesn't
I am interested though in seeing how much the gems will affect leggos though. Cuz aren't the sockets farmable (kind of) from torgy ?
Not domination sockets
They are only on raid gear
But your general conclusion is possibly correct if they don't add a way to put domination gems on legendaries
I see and the Dom sockets are the only ones that get the new gems right
Yeah
Any leggo that's in head/shoulders/chest/gloves/boots will need a recraft if the gems are powerful enough
But I thought there is a cloak that has a socket too in raid
No
I looked on the ptr yesterday those are the only slots
And they all only have 1 now
Oh so they changed it then
When they had 1-3 before which made it a lot more flexible
I see
Idk why they'd do that
So basically we are gonna have to either craft the suboptimal leggo expecting to get a socket drop or hoard mats and recraft based on socket drops? Seems very blizzard
Legendary bases are dirt cheap now so idrc
Like a 235 cloak is literally 10k gold
I just don't like the idea of crafting a legendary in the worst possible slot for no real reason
Yeah idc about the bases either I'm thinking more about the soul cinders or whatever it is
When they could have multiple slots
I wonder what this is going to do for leggos that can only go in one of those slots.
Like isn't Doomblade Shoulders and Gloves only?
If the gems are powerful enough, we wouldn't use doomblade anymore and wed use dashing scoundrel
Since it's less than 1% worse
But some classes are worse off and have legendaries that are 5%+ apart
Scoundrel sounds fun
Akaaris is pretty dead for sub now if the gems are good because it's head and gloves only
I think it’s difficult to predict what’s going to happen until it’s fully announced. I know that’s half the fun but doing gymnastics on hypotheticals is spinning your wheels for possibly 0 gain
Obedience is huge for sub so it'll probably stay bis
I mean I'm not really doing anything about it just yet, just thinking
Oh totally. I'm running Thorghast just to reduce the grind later, but I'm not going to craft anything until 9.1 comes out and we've got some stuff confirmed.
U Just need to have 3 pieces actually.. and no even complete the set if I understood correctly
U get the offensive gem for each type
For dps increase
I mean I think it's good to be thinking about it though at some level
But the gems are likely to be large dps increases on their own
Maybe not get dead set on stuff but nothing wrong with getting a feel for what might be coming down the pipeline regardless if it's final or not
Yes, but only 3 of them matter
For dps
Not really
I know - it’s a lot of thought for just a possibility though. I think having thoughts is fine And If you want to do more that’s also fine. I just wouldn’t have branching plans in place for x, y, or z yet
It's very possible that a gem in a vacuum is more dps than the difference between two legendaries
But that’s also why I’m a middling rogue 
Depending on which ones you're talking about
Do we know if like the UH gem stacks on itself or is it unique equip
You take the 3 offensive gems
If Doomblade is out, deathspike is in?!?! 
U don't need to make the sets
The only limit they've said so far is that you can only have 5 maximum
That's not even remotely true...
They aren't unique equipped
All 5 gems matter. The "3 gems" is for a set bonus that applies to the Maw and Torghast only
They are unique equiped
Its kinda hard finding info about it, but necro sin, do you use the Sudden fractures conduit for m+ and st?
Ok well that's new because they weren't a day or two ago
Yeah, they definitely weren't last I looked.
Yes it's best for all content currently
Except sludgefist
that had to be the most recent PTR patch that changed htat
thanks!
On the phone
Yeah, that's new
But then again a week ago one of the items had 3 sockets
So that doesn't surprise me
Just looked it up myself as I just swapped!
So you'll possibly want 3 for your set and two of the dps ones from the sets you don't have
It all depends on how much dps they are individually
The set doesn't work on raids from what I understood
Yes itndoes
Only maw and torghast
Correct, it's Maw/Torghast only
The raid
Sanctum of domination is the maw
Is in the maw
Hmmmmm
Blood Link - While inside the Maw or Torghast, damaging an enemy establishes a Blood Link. Blood Link pulses every 3 sec, dealing 0 Shadow damage and healing you for 100% of damage dealt. If your Blood Link would overheal you, it instead heals a nearby ally. Limit 1.
And it says specifically including in the raid
What about this says it works in the raid?
The buff that you get while in the raid
There's a picture of it in the article
You wouldn't get the buff in the raid if it didn't work in the raid
Mother fucker. So it's in the text of WowHead but not the tooltip of the buff
That's so dumb
Yup. It's in the text
But it's not in the tooltip
I mean ptr tooltips what do you expect
Pretty sure it was insinuated since it’s part of the maw? Stupidly though?
Ye lol
So ye.. 3 of the dps gems and 2 of the best set..
Like blizzard over explains things that need 0 explanation and underexplains everything else
UH and 2 bloods?
Pretty shit having to make new leggo spots tbh
Is the 50% max HP or current hp? Like is it supposed to be execute
This system definitely needs testing lol
So it'd be dps, tertiary, defensive from your set, and then the other 2 dps
So just 3 UH and one of each of the offensive
I'm not on ptr, so can't .. and also working atm
That honestly seems so much more boring than it could've been
It is very boring
I think the set bonuses are cool
We do
We do
Those should've been the actual gem effects imo

We know the what the potential set bonus is. Reminder that everything on the PTR is subject to change.
Interesting
Yes pretty much. Bleeds for days.
Do you Rupture on everything prior to getting CT onto them?
I think rupture is prio over ct at 2 targets
Talking specifically about the Cabalist spawns, since those are lower priority than the named adds.
But at 3 or 4 ct is prio
I assume it's more important to keep bleeds on Sire/Remornia than apply them to Cabalists and have Sire's fall off for a couple seconds.
Do you guys use a Mouseover macro for Rupture or nah?
Cabalists have to be priority, and i have a mouseover macro for both rupture and garrote (and kick, and blind, and so many many things)
Nope just my tab key and debiffs on plates
I still get flustered trying to tab target 😕
There's only 4 targets in that moment so it's honestly not bad at all
I use it for Kick and SBS only at the moment. My group doesn't prioritize Cabalists because we have a lot of passive Cleave in our raid group.
If you use mouse over to apply rupture does it also apply deathly poison?
Ah, my raid group doesn't
But I do keys as sin so I'm used to that I guess
My garotte and ruptures are mouseover and it really helps a lot
Tab n stab only 
This is a good question.
CT does so that'd be weird
Well ct has an initial hit
How did you write it out? Couldn't get the mouse over to work
Garotte and rupture don't
True
One sec I'm logging on
Yeah coz I think you also want them to get the poison debuff but if you mouse over you don't get it. Ofc there is CT and fok
Divine bell wq is up in bastion btw ;)
For NA

even though imo its degen
One of us
ONE OF US
It's unironically good for sub in m+ so it's not a bad idea to get it if you see it
My Shadowgrasp totem from this week has been pumping in m+ tho
If anything I can troll my boomie friend that doesnt have it
Boo it's 194
I already have a 194 with leech
I need the 203 from the epic calling
I wonder if the wq rewards will get bumped up or how that will work next patch
New wq rewards? Bell 2.0?
Got 233 dreadfire two times in a row from vault but this week it had also leech so it's an upgrade 
Probably will be bumped as your renown goes
consider buying a lottery ticket
OK so check this out, I just started using Plater and its fucking awesome. I have been to stubborn to use it because someone who i didnt like suggested one time, and im a human with pride issues, but i finally broke. Anyone have any good profiles before i get too use to the stock profile i got?
Bet, thanks
that's the one i made
looks slightly diff from the screenshot now but people seem to like it
Gotcha
changes colors with serrated bone spike and a couple other neat things
That will likely be better than mine. Mine's just a pretty stock one I tinkered with the debuff display haha
yeah i went through and blacklisted a bunch of unimportant buffs from the nameplates as well
Appreciate everything, i hate it when my pride makes me miss out on something good
Ok I just checked, mouseover dotting does not apply poisons
Tab targeting master race it is
hehe
i still like mouseovers because it lets you keep auto attacking the priority target while spreading dots around
Oh totally.
which i feel like is relevant in a situation like the named adds
Silly question for Mythic Sludgefist. I have a 220 Phial, 220 IQD, 220 Dreadfire, 226 Skulker and 226 Memory of Past shins. I see most people run Dreadfire and Memory and a bit of phial, but most peeps have 233 Dreadfires or 226 good trinkets.. What would be best for me to run?
I would just go with what the ST sim says, but yeah you want whatever's going to give you pillar burst.
Which I would imagine are the instant-damage trinkets over the buff ones.
yeah it doesn't
Simcity likes IQD, but Im not sure how viable that would be on sludge
it is viable
it gives ridiculous burst on the 2nd and 4th pillars
if you are geared for crit, and it gives the crit stat during lust, when you vanish you have 100% crit
but i'm unsure if that is strictly better than having an on-use damage trinket for every pillar
its definitely viable tho
Are there any other little things I should do with my gear that could help for pillar burst?
Or is it mostly the same as usual
using 2 on use trinkets is pretty much the only thing
Arrighty, big thanks for the help ^-^
I need to start tweaking my Plater some more.
is it better to play assassination or outlaw in tyrannical week ?
well, i ran a 15pf yesterday, and adds die by the time you add all the dots to them. so maybe outlaw is more fun, upto you?
It’s almost always better to play outlaw in M+ outright
Because our add damage is bleeds which take time, but still aren’t quite as much damage as outlaw.
I have better daggers, and im venth, so i roll 'sin in m+ lately. I will say outlaw feels a bit more chaotic
If you’re having issues with bosses in your group - sin might be Deece. But I can’t ever say that sin is better than OL in M+
Sin’s also not a horrible choice - but just slightly worse
hm ok thx i think i go for outlaw
Is there any ultra RaidBotter?
Did a few simulations and I am wondering if I could squeeze some more DPS:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9UQLdvdQspGZQevzFVfmkB
I think it does help you do a lot more dps
Just by making better gear choices, soulbinds, enchants, gems etc
And also rotation stuff
With what he has in the sim
Theres literally nothing that would be noticeable
Even a new dagger would be like +40 dps
Its not like one has intellect trinket on or sword in mainhand
Yupsy, but better gear does indeed.
Was just wondering if there's some kind of different choice of gear I am missing.
You’re fine at this point
I guess so. Thanks!
Did you guys see the Plagueboarer bullshittery Echo just did?
They +2d a 30 Plaguefall
Lmaoo
Ye
So fucking dumb...
Double heals and MC 🙂
I find the silence really helpful to control packs compared to OL. Pesky casters get grouped nice to let the caster aoe.
It is nice! But they do have the extra gouge!
Missed it on a conference call for work. Got a link to a VOD yet?
Yeah situational. Did a HoA 17, wipes before first boss as OL cause melee heavy group and struggled with getting adds grouped. Reset down to 16, went sin and smooth run from all those casters getting silenced. Depends on the dungeon and if you need hard cc or not
Basically, they abused Plagueboarers
Cylclone to immune it, mage sheep or priest MC to heal it
MC also gets it to insta-cast explosion again
Is necro viable with sin?
I swapped last night, even at 5 renown, AoE/Cleave feels even better than expected. Inb4 
welcome home
We have a basket on the right of the entrance where you can pick up your third arm
God it just feels so good 
Just slap that bad boy on a shoulder pad and you’re good to go
Uh whispyr you okay? 
Ahhh yes excellent, the downgrade in mog 
Oh you missed the shit show in wowgen and subtlety last night

Whispyr may be on his last brain cells after dealing with that
He’s put up with a lotta shit in RH alone. Then your guild 
I asked someone to save the man
none of you did anything you just watched him suffer you sick fucks
I mean I’m sure he could get into any 6/10 guild he wanted
Recap in TLDR format: sub sucks and will suck in 9.1 and people should jump ship, also sims don’t matter because the same guy knew that deathly was better
There’s a discord server FULL of em recruiting
Ohhhh the screenshots from this morning?
It was a wild ride
maybe 3
Yeah but according to that guy it’s bad 
I’ve been peeping around and most 6/10 guilds on A52 mailed it in until 9.1
5/10 guilds are still recruiting, I’ve received 6 friend requests on bnet 
You’re right, random guy knows more than people who sim the numbers all day and continuously work to improve the apl in even niche situations 
Exactly
More servers than A52 
He doesn’t need sims to tell him the truth
I don’t want to transfer is the problem
Ahhhh I see
I have the same issue, a lot of friends and a lot of characters and gold to move over
I’m very lucky and the group I’m in was like “sure we’ll take you for this tier since your guild stops at AotC” so I get the best of both
Damn unlucky
I know a lot of Illidan and MG guilds are making the push still
Plus I don’t want to lose my spot as GM in the best guild on area 52 “< Huge Dmg Bro >”
doing a faction swap is 10/10
~50€ for 1 character
more expensive then a fking expansion itself lmao
Just boost a HC or two then transfer with the boost moneys ez
I'm on Thrall and there are still a bunch of guilds pushing for CE
Thrall is another one, ye
Plus if all else fails, I got a spot in whispyr’s old guild 
I’m okay being an aotc Andy
I'm about to be the worst rogue with CE
I’d ask my friend if he wants a couple of pumpers for their sire push if you want?
Nah I think osh is about to get it
GOT EM
It wouldn’t be a guild thing. Just because they might need the damage
Idk haven’t looked at their wipe logs in a bit
man, i would ask too join, but yall are NA

Whispyr about to run an all rogue guild 
If people need bodies to fill spots until the end of the tier I don’t mind giving it a go
Hey I can tank and heal too 
They’re on hard burnout but they’ve pushed all tier lmao.
Multi-classing god 
my guild is recruiting we are 8 hr guild 160 pulls slg 190 pulls on denath for prog recruiting all! <midmax>
not the place for that
Very average hpal and and above average vdh 
I regret to inform you Osh is for sure better than me 
My logs are a disaster.
logs are not important
Four button Andy confirmed 
this channel is for assassination discussions, killing the hopes and dreams of sub players, and shittalking whispr
If you can do mechanics and not die to dumb shit > numbers
Wait my vdh has a 4th button?! 
True

ofc, the macro where you put 4 toys at once
i literally almost took a rogue who was all blue later fights cause i did due diligence and watched his vod and he was playin like a real chad x
the numbers only tell u one story...
true
mate
all blue on the later fights when somone has 1 kill on them
is 100%normal, and in some cases even good lol
i got 55 on my first SLG kill and felt like a god
i think my best on slg still blue hehe
i just know if i use ct the adds gonna push early with my group so im chillin
I got first 3 down in oxi’s guild and averaged like 75

Built different
I think I have blues on the last three bosses of heroic despite clearing them a few times.
the big brain engineer that creates the fighter jet isnt a pilot bro is ok
its a separate skillset
Hey guys, progging on council atm - saw a mention in a youtube video of a graphic setting that allows you to only see the circles of the dark recital that are about to explode, anyone know which setting this is?

i really dont see the problem there, you just run a circle around the boss
projected textures but this should be turned on all the time tbh
Getting a blue parse with that performance would be a 99/100 with a good guild 
@balmy condor can you transfer your guild too EU? 

Parced a 98 on sludge and 100 for my ilvl on my first m sludge kill
Applying
To limit as we speak
Lmaooo
I’m confused why sire was nerfed but the boss slg with the poor design stays
As is
😦
delet boss
SLG got massacred by nerfs that’s why
slg is a fine fight now
and sire "nerf" was more like a fix
that interaction shouldn't be there in the first place
good for guilds learning not to worry about it too
what does poach mean
i know that kills some of my guys sometimes
If you drop an egg into a swirling pot of water and then cook for approximately 5 minutes
"stealing" good players from other guilds
limit etc.....do that all the time
the best way too get into the top5 guilds, is too be in a top 20-50guild, and perform good, cus they dont recruit themself lel
Depending on your context, even an active member applying to another guild and leaving, the guild might view that as poaching
????
Just don’t kill it when hand is coming
not so easy when you change characters and comps every week, you need to adjust burst a little bit and that can change the kill time by a couple seconds
long ago it was nerf
Has anyone got weakauras that will track your garrote/rupture on Denathrius + Remornia? Tried making one but it says denathrius isn't a trackable unit >:
Don't really like looking at nameplates.
Learn to like your plates
):< Hate plates.
we call it sniping here
I agree with learning to like your plates
multi target tracking using weakauras is super super janky
so, i have no idea on whick trinkets to use in m+: have vessel220, 226shriekwing, 220 iqd, 226 phial, 226 past sins, 226 anima charged winds, 226 nw one. i know yes i should sim for dungeon slice but my pc is slow as fuck and it's literally faster to harrass you guys
I've got flyplatebuffs but it shows too much and configuring it is something thats takes too long :v
the time it gets to open chrome is the time that passed from the bigbang till now
oh yikes
Get plater then
try using plater and downloading undadtv's design for it, it helps
that's probably something you should check out

I think your biggest DPS increase is not your trinket socket but your CPU socket
https://wago.io/eMd-ZBdX7 here i'll help you out
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
nah i'm just an ape playing on a mac sooooooo
I'll give it a shot. Thanks
ty btw for the answer my man
Obviously Small business Server 
Which slot should I craft zoldyck on?
legs if you're not going to kill mythic kelthuzad
I might but by then I'll be able to recraft.
yeh
Are we changing DB to shoulders or do we have high ilvl ones again?
db stays on hands as far as we know atm
but the socket stuff is weird
so
who knows
Pepeshrug
What dungeons are worth going a more ST build for Tyrannical weeks?
Top only one I can think of
I change for ToP I’m ngl.
That’s so minimal
i wouldn't change any talents
poison bomb isn't a big st dps boost and CT is bis for all of the 2-3t cleave in top
@gusty mirage dude on sire needs a lock. Sucks to suck 
More of a cursed MA swap tbh
why MA though
Pumpers on a tyrannical week often won’t let subterfuge go full send - couple that with low trash kill, just go with the ST bonus on MA. But it’s just 
I would maybe use Doomblade in ToP, but the talents stay the same.
wait what
kelthuzad drops higher ilvl legs
is KT getting a p3 like sire to use zoldyck instead of doomblade?
cuz doomblade is better, isnt it?
Yes
you still want a zold for keys
Single target on Kt is pretty whatever, it just depends what your role is when the phase happens
Bone Spike 
oh, thats the reason ok, good thing i started saving ash
I think the answer now is probably boots, but we'll see as 9.1 gets closer
yeah i get it now, i wasn't thinking about zold being good for m+
mhm
Okay thank you for advice
My rogue is NF cus i plan on doing more pvp then pve as ass
Well my horde outlaw rogue is necro
And when I was leveling this ass rogue I tried out the venthyr ability and I just wasn't liking it so I went with NF
I also tried the kyrian one n it just felt really clunky to me
any priority for memory of sins in ST or just using on cd?
on cooldown
The divine bell trinket is that any good for ass?
no
Okay
ty
how much does it matter that igot dbb on shoulders?
divine bell slander 
It doesn't
its like a 20 dps loss or so
Why would you insult monkeys like that 😂
with the higher ilvl shoulders off the endbosses
Eh, I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for sire anyway. I’m a broken man
You don't call Outlaw "out" or a Boomkin a "Boo"
I need to go back into normal and lfr and rebuild my psyche
I call outlaw outlol
I call it Combat, because it's fucking Combat
Or just to make our pirates angry “fury warrior with pistols”
Adding 2 abilities and renaming one isn't changing the spec
It's 1000% a Combat rogue. Nothing about it changed. They only renamed it because they couldn't come up with anything cool for a Combat rogue in Legion
Fun Fact: I don’t play Outlaw because of the name, and that alone.
Before I would dabble in combat, but the name changed made me self boycott the spec as a whole.
I don't have the historical attachment, but "combat" is awfully generic as a title. Every class and spec engages in combat. "Outlaw" has a class fantasy associated with it.
No worries

I mean, sure... But canonically all mages are Arcane, and all Warriors are just foot soldiers
There's no such thing as a fire or frost mage
And also "class fantasy" wise, Assassination is the worst spec name in the game
Because all rogues ARE assassins
I just hate the thought of being a Pirate is all. Just a personal thing. However back to the topic of Sin/Ass/Mut rogue. How do you go about modifying a player profile? Any nice advice or anything? Looks like a lot at first glance, but I’m assuming it’s about as easy as ELVUI.
Wanted to test adding CP’s on targets or not
Mythic?
When are you heroing? 3rd or 4th pillar?
heroic and mythic
