Could’ve been an SBS if you were necro (;

low girder
#

i am now

#

but i left the guild so

hollow river
#

Aw ya hate to see it

faint harness
odd flax
#

any sin tips for sludge prog?

balmy condor
#

hold every other shiv for pillars

#

1 on pull, then 1 shiv, then pillar, between, pillar, between, pillar, etc

#

hold 1:30 and 2 min for pillars

#

vend early in your opener to get it up for second pillar in time

odd flax
#

ty!!

brave steeple
#

does anyoen have 9.1 cov sims?

balmy condor
#

we don't have all the soulbinds implemented in simulationcraft

#

so simming covenants atm would be completely worthless information

brave steeple
#

👍

brisk drum
#

Sin mobility feels so bad

balmy condor
#

sprint and shadowstep?

brisk drum
#

Had to backup a seed on xymox last night thats normally easy as outlaw

balmy condor
#

yeah in that specific example, grappling hook is better

#

but usually shadowstep handles things just fine

wise fiber
#

CT or bomb for council?

#

paired with EP.

balmy condor
#

CT usually

dawn ivy
#

i havent gone CT for council yet, probably a good idea

ruby birch
#

a bit late to this but

#

literally every melee class gets extra shafted from movement mechanics

#

sin is no exception especially with ~35% of your damage if not more coming straight from melee, envenom, and mutilate + insta damage poison

#

reason sub suffers "so much more" is because downtime for sub means less dance charges, and unfortunately because sub's damage window is on a 30 sec cd (SoD), it could mean you're either out of dance charges or you've gotta hold for SoD when you have excessive downtime

steep obsidian
#

so has anyone got any pro tips for living through the really hard knockback massacre overlap on sire, the one that the ranged gate

balmy condor
#

step to someone

#

usually a death knight

steep obsidian
#

Yah

#

I’m not sure if I trust our DK lol

#

I’ve lived through it a few times

drifting cloud
#

you can run deep into first pizza slice

steep obsidian
#

Most of the raid hasn’t figured it out yet though probably not baiting well

thorny pond
#

Finally crushed the 7.5k Mists

spice spire
#

I got perma one shot in runs tonight so I maxed out at 5.8k kekw

wispy leaf
earnest remnant
steep obsidian
cerulean nest
#

so in a sanguine depths today. fully stealthed, shroud up, walking between the last three mobs before final gauntlet. aggroed them like 4 times in a row (dead key). literally didnt touch them at all. is there some bug

stoic needle
#

Druid roar?

gusty mirage
#

I forget if you can distract those mobs, but stealth detection seems a little janky in SL compared to bfa

cerulean nest
#

I mean i know the obvious one in spires got fixed

#

but yeah this one made zero sense

cerulean nest
gusty mirage
#

It shouldn’t no

cerulean nest
#

I didnt think so

gusty mirage
#

But weird shit happens all the time

cerulean nest
#

anyone try out the tazavesh dungeon on ptr yet?

gusty mirage
#

Always distract if you’re getting close to mobs, just for the added security alone

#

You can even walk through the mobs without pulling if you time the distract right

cerulean nest
#

I did not. ive honestly never really known how to use it effectively nor looked it up lol

#

maybe this is that wake up call

cerulean nest
#

so wherever you throw it, thats where things will turn towards for a few seconds basically?

#

so I should have just distracted them towards one of the walls and gone the other way

#

sounds stupidly basic now that im saying it lol

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

it reduces their aggro range

cerulean nest
#

i always thought that just hitting them with the circle put them in a "distracted' state. didnt realize you had to kinda aim it

balmy condor
#

distract is a super weird ability

#

idk exactly how it works tbh

strange python
#

You literally go trough mob in that specific pack, so yes, distract is a must

#

Aggro range is short in SL, yet it exists

steep obsidian
#

I don't know if its a hitbox thing or whatever but my theory is that its always the fat taurens who agro shit and always need a distract

#

i could be wrong

#

like ive lterally walked through at the exact same point safely as someone else and they agroed and i did not

stoic needle
#

Mobs have a cone in front of them and a radius around them in which they can aggro iirc

#

Distract reduces the size of both

steep obsidian
#

Its something that I don't think anyone even thought about much

#

my druid friend still reckons taht rogues have better stealth then him

#

and i konw that was factual in vanilla

cerulean nest
#

seems like a semi important thing to know

#

weird that it isnt more common knowledge

steep obsidian
#

who knows how it works with the spagettti code wow is now lol

final star
#

@steep obsidian pretty sure that still holds true

#

It's harder for us to be detected, but I think feral have same stealth

#

Its just the other druid stealth have pussy stealth 😂

gusty shore
#

If you have max cp and shiv comes back up, do you ignore the lost shiv cp and just use it ?

hollow escarp
#

yep, shiv on cd unless vendetta is back in like 10 sec

gusty shore
#

Thought so ty

#

If i'm in a situation where I've shived when vendetta was at like 15s do I hold the vanish for when the shiv comes back up within the vendetta, or just use the vendetta and vanish right away

balmy condor
#

You would vanish during the shiv

#

As long as both the full shiv and the vanish land within the vendetta, you’re fine

elder flint
#

i see in the FAQ "finish at max -1" meaning im not suppose to mutilate if im at 4 combo points( if my max is 5) ?

glossy turret
#

any info/spreadsheets for 9.1 dps/legendary/sims yet?

limber lion
#

Not really, no point doing any of that when the patch release date hasn't even been announced yet

#

The ptr changes are in the sims so you can stuff out for yourself if you'd like

#

By typing ptr=1 at the top of your advanced sim

glossy turret
#

ok cool thx

vestal wren
#

most trinkets are not implemented yet

shell ivy
#

Why is this patch so long 😢

gloomy fern
#

so shiennar can get ce

misty zenith
#

Anyone know why this is happening?

#

Trying to figure out if my assa game is improving but

gloomy fern
#

if its new rankings is slow to update sometimes

#

link log pepemaybe

misty zenith
#

I think i did OK

#

Did miss a few garottes on the dogs

gloomy fern
#

if u wanna parse mutilate shades

keen cairn
# frail fossil yes

Wait what? No, I think max-1 means that if u have 4 CP out of 5 possible, u will use a finisher. Because you're likely to overcap otherwise

misty zenith
#

Yea i forgot, i kinda had tunnel vision on the boss

#

I think if i played my cards better it would have been much higher

#

Altho, i am new to rogue atm

final star
keen cairn
#

Nah

#

Read it again

#

Ooooooh

final star
#

i see in the FAQ "finish at max -1" meaning im not suppose to mutilate if im at 4 combo points( if my max is 5) ?

keen cairn
#

Me stupid

final star
keen cairn
#

Yeah I read envenom

frail fossil
keen cairn
#

Maintaining 3 alts is too much brainpower, sorry

final star
keen cairn
#

Too many discords

misty zenith
#

It was a pug

#

@final star

final star
#

it still applies

frail fossil
#

U got me scared for a second i thought i had accidentally said something wrong

misty zenith
#

I get ya, but i can't control when the pug leader lusts 😄

frail fossil
misty zenith
#

But wait, when we attack shades i should be Muting them right?

#

Or also apply rupts

final star
#

don't ever rupture the shades

misty zenith
#

Wanna understand for the guild run on mythic tonight

final star
#

they get decimated

gloomy fern
#

but yeah the problem with the ranking part @misty zenith seem to be some settings in ur wcl. you uploaded it towards us/oce when ur playing in eu

#

therefor it gets fucked i think

misty zenith
#

Aha i have to re-upload

gloomy fern
#

ye and make sure u have eu selected in ur settings

frail fossil
#

I mean u can low cp rupture a shade

frail fossil
#

I would say u prio CT anyway

final star
#

how little it did

frail fossil
#

And u wont have time to press a rupture in most cases

#

At least in mine i dont have time. To rupture them

sacred isle
#

Best way to parse at altimor = killing dogs with as low stacks as possible = higher uptime:)

sacred isle
#

More time with more targets = higher dps

final star
#

best way to parse huntsman is to lust on pull

#

and kill it just after a vendetta falls off

gloomy fern
#

not rly ur not an aoe class

frail fossil
final star
#

I mean, you literally parse higher on inerva by skipping less adds

frail fossil
#

The best way to parse huntsman is to do ur rotation properly

#

And to switch on the shades

sacred isle
frail fossil
#

U wont ever get to hit shades for a extended amount of time

#

And u dont need to , cuz turns out assa 2t cleave is fucking insane

misty zenith
#

@final star Thanks for sharing

#

I'll take a look

sacred isle
#

Yes if the raid is doing it to parse You can keep the dogs alive for longer with less stacks...

final star
#

^

frail fossil
final star
#

you can stack less cc on them

#

so they live longer

limber lion
sacred isle
#

For fucks sake. Ppl are taking about PARSING and Iam giving input.

limber lion
#

I ruptured the shade on our kill and I got r1 and did 10.2k overall

#

I guess I would have done a lot more if I didn't rupture the shade

final star
#

smh

sacred isle
#

I don’t give a fuck about parsing any boss

frail fossil
gloomy fern
#

the ONLY reason shades helps with parses is cus mutilated flesh is bugged, would not have been an noticible dps increase otherwise

frail fossil
#

Yep

limber lion
#

Like sometimes you might want to rupture the shade

#

It's not like you never do it

#

It depends on how many stacks they have, are you blasting them with the full group, are you slowly dpsing them down etc.

#

It's very situational

#

Also more ruptures = more energy = more mutilates = more doomblade abuse

frail fossil
limber lion
final star
#

I just looked

#

your average envenom cast

#

was more damage

frail fossil
final star
#

than the damage of 2 ruptures

sacred isle
#

Griefing? Seriously? Yikes someone needs a bath...

limber lion
frail fossil
limber lion
#

Here's what it looked like on my most recent kill

frail fossil
#

U know, it also give u ressources to do dmg

limber lion
#

But yeah, you don't use rupture for the damage

#

You use it to get energy

#

So you can do more damage with other stuff

#

Like Doomblade

frail fossil
#

It's free energy

#

U dont have to max cp it

misty zenith
#

Just overall trying to improve my rogue game, i'm coming over from feral. Its quite similar but stil

limber lion
#

You don't get this many Mutilates by not using ruptures

frail fossil
#

Not bugged btw really

gloomy fern
#

imagine having dogs living that long

#

how many alts in that run

limber lion
#

We were boosting 2 dudes

#

:P

final star
#

that is true

misty zenith
#

Like i said, it was a pug run tho

#

Not a guild run

limber lion
#

Even better then

frail fossil
limber lion
#

Because then the dogs live longer

gloomy fern
#

imagine 2 healing huntsman and ahve every fucker save their blast for sahdes

final star
#

where's your sbs damage

misty zenith
#

My guild has stopped mythic i think, we stuck 3./10 forever

final star
#

I thought you swapped

misty zenith
#

i might buy a boost myself, if they let me play atleast 😄

limber lion
#

I didn't have time to swap, I had 30 minutes before the raid and couldn't get 2 dungeons done before then

#

Oh well

#

Next week necro gang

final star
#

seen the light at least

#

necro too pog

#

even with theotar bs

limber lion
gloomy fern
#

kill timer?

limber lion
#

The Doomblade thing is pretty fun, but it's not that giga

limber lion
gloomy fern
#

gettign third dfv in vuln

limber lion
#

Imagine using DFV

#

And not IQD

gloomy fern
#

imagine sitting on 2:50

limber lion
final star
#

idk whether to use IQD on sludge

#

or double on use

gloomy fern
#

iqd is an on use

final star
#

double on use dmg

gloomy fern
#

it can be used as on use dmg

final star
#

2nd use is almost guaranteed to be useless on prog

gloomy fern
#

why? first pillar and 4th pillar with blood lust guarantee crit if u fix ur stats

final star
#

It is 100%

#

going to heal

#

give mana

#

or execute

#

It will do literally everything but give stats

gloomy fern
#

use it before he hits pillar, target urself for no execute

limber lion
gloomy fern
#

everyone should be topped

#

i see no problem

final star
#

I have self target macro on it

gloomy fern
#

but since u seem to have come to a conclusion

#

why ask

final star
#

because you acting like helaers won't be mana starved

gloomy fern
#

ye so dont use iqd

#

u alrdy made ur mind up

final star
#

that's literally what I am saying

gloomy fern
#

that it dont work

final star
cloud reef
gloomy fern
#

so why even start the conversation

limber lion
#

The Shades % damage first increases Mutilate's damage (which means higher damage from Mutilated Flesh)

final star
#

cba arguing with pedantry

limber lion
#

Then it increases Mutilated Flesh's damage itself as well after that

cloud reef
#

Ahhhh

limber lion
#

But it's not as giga as you'd think.

final star
#

ah so the extra damage from mut is removed

#

but the mutilated flesh is not

#

as in the "bonus"

limber lion
#

Not sure what you mean

#

Mutilated Flesh is the extra damage that you get from Mutilate.

cloud reef
#

He means on the logs the extra damage from attacking the shade

limber lion
#

Ah yeah that is correct

cloud reef
#

the mutilate cast amp damage is removed

#

but not the flesh part

limber lion
#

Mutilate shows the normal amount without the % increase, but Mutilated Flesh doesn't.

cloud reef
#

yeah

limber lion
#

That is correct.

final star
#

yeah, exactly that

misty zenith
#

All swapping to necro?

limber lion
#

The Warcraft logs only show the damage you deal with the first part of Mutilated Flesh, it does filter out the % increase that you get after.

misty zenith
#

I really hate leveling up another covenan

final star
#

I've done all 4

#

It's not that bad

#

couple days

limber lion
#

It works that way for all % damage by the way and would have to be manually edited to not show up like that

#

That's why Shadowblades were giga broken on Huntsman in the beginning

misty zenith
#

@final star But then Necro is deffo better for 9.1? Last time no one was really sure on PTR

#

But then i overheard that necro is even better in CN from Xymox onwards

final star
#

add one target and necro pulls ahead

#

lots of add fights in sanctum

misty zenith
#

What changes with Necro, just SBS in between?

final star
#

sbs is very efficient and totally not broken

misty zenith
#

Is it like on CD? Or does it need to pair up>

#

Been wanting to try it out in M+

final star
#

it has a 30s cd

#

but when target dies it refunds a charge

misty zenith
#

So use it on targets that are about to die

final star
#

use it on 3 targets

#

since you have 3 charges

limber lion
#

SBS is busted

#

It's also a lot of fun to play with

final star
#

try and put on highest prio targets first

limber lion
#

Would recommend

misty zenith
#

So in M+ you would garrote your 4 mobs

#

and then SBS them all

final star
#

I don't run subterfuge so no clue

#

but yeah i'd expect so

misty zenith
#

hmm

final star
#

garrotes > CT > SBS > SBS > rupture > SBS I assume?

limber lion
#

Yep pretty much

compact pumice
#

Garrotes > FoK > CT is the start right? Don’t wanna do a 3CP CT only I would guess

limber lion
#

No

#

4 garrotes is 4 combo points

#

4 combo points is max-1

#

So you use finisher

compact pumice
#

The 4th garrote is prob lower prio than that FOK?

limber lion
#

No

#

You always use 4 garrotes

#

Why would you use fok

#

Why would FoK be higher prio

compact pumice
#

To spread poison

limber lion
#

You never ever gar gar gar fok ct

compact pumice
#

Especially

limber lion
#

?

compact pumice
#

Ok

final star
#

@limber lion can u peep my log for sludge see where I can improve? MonkaS

limber lion
#

You spread poisons by meleeing and using garrotes

#

You don't need to FoK to spread poisons

#

It's still a 50% chance anyways

#

So it might not apply poisons

#

And it'll be a complete waste

final star
#

I think I'm doing pillars wrong

#

and refreshing rupture too much

#

this was our first night on it, so I'm still picking it up

limber lion
#

So you should be using SBS on the pillars more actively to start with. I just use 2 SBS at the start and then always dump them during the pillars. You want to use at least 2 SBS on every pillar.

You should also be using Shiv after he hits the pillar, not before. You want to make sure to get the full 9s duration on the pillar.

You do reapply rupture a bit too much, but it's not too bad.

#

The biggest things honestly are:

Refresh bleeds before pillar
Pool energy and build to max-2 -max CP
Have 2+ charges of SBS
Use Shiv as your first gcd on the pillar

#

If that was your first night, it's not bad at all. Just need to get more comfortable with it. Using Shiv on pillars, delaying it between pillars etc.

#

You just need to make most out of the 12s of vulnerability. Losing 2s because you're running or reapplying bleeds during it is not the most ideal thing.

#

Generally your rotation should be like Shiv - Envenom - SBS - Muti - Envenom - SBS - Muti - Envenom - Muti - Muti - Envenom

#

Where you only use Muti/SBS/Envenoms and nothing else pretty much

final star
#

alright got it

limber lion
#

You used garrotes quite often on pillars

#

Just slam it before

#

Even if it's not in pandemic yet

final star
#

Yeah just a small aspect of min-maxing pillars

#

that I need to be doing

#

garrote is very energy inefficient during vulnerable phase

limber lion
#

Yep exactly.

#

It's like a mage minmaxing their combust windows

#

The stuff between combust casts is kinda whatever, as long as the combusts are executed perfectly

final star
#

All stuff I should be mindful of in the heat of the moment

gloomy fern
#

so long fights so little dmg done to the boss pepecross

final star
#

Forgetting the small details that have a big impact

gloomy fern
#

have u guys recruited someone with the skip or whats the deal shriek-> sludge

final star
#

We got skip yeah

#

cba doing council

#

very little benefit in the long term

echo sand
#

no one likes doing council

gloomy fern
#

ye but i mean ur guild doesnt look like u have killed sludge 4 times so im guessing its 1 individual who joined late

fallen arch
#

Especially not sin rogues

final star
#

no

#

I have a friend with skip on his alt

echo sand
#

is sin = venthyr?

final star
#

we just invited him and skipped

#

lol

fallen arch
echo sand
#

i love venth personally

fallen arch
#

Then run it

gloomy fern
#

i think u will have to go down on 4 healers with that dps

echo sand
#

yea i dont see myself switching tbh

final star
#

I think people need more than one night on the boss before we decide concrete changes

viral meadow
#

any good sin rogue POV for sire M?

final star
#

we also haven't had a good 4th pillar

#

during lust

#

everyone mostly dead kekw

fallen arch
echo sand
#

yea plus Nadijas soulbind abilities are really good

quaint carbon
#

is there a way when siming to see every item at 12/12 upgrade? comparing rings but somes are 7,9,12/12

gloomy fern
#

ye but on ur best pull u had like 3 deaths before 4.5min or something and im guessing at least 2 was ressed and u were 40%, just sayin it looks like u might need another dps (:

final star
#

we were also missing a fair few people

#

we had no warrior

#

we only have 1 priest

#

we were missing a healer so someone had to alt heal

#

we were missing arguable our best hunter in pottm

#

arguably*

#

one of our hunters went sv to balance out melee chains

#

for a first night of progress with all that shit, we did pretty well SHRUGGERS

odd hazel
final star
#

our guild is literally a month and a couple days old too kekw

final star
#

we're still trying our best

limber lion
#

It will show you all m+ items at once

quaint carbon
#

ahh thanks yall

odd hazel
#

Only missing 4 items. 233 weapons, ring and 226 Phial

#

Soon ™️

odd hazel
#

tbh, i regret not saving valor to upgrade my phail to 220.

#

so now im valor capped and going by week

limber lion
#

The pain is going to be even worse in 9.1 when the bis dagger drops from Sylvanas

#

And it has an unique effect on it

odd hazel
#

im never going to get it

#

so

final star
#

just get the drop 4head

limber lion
#

So the damage will be like fucking giga when compared to normal shit

vale marten
#

any1 here doing the fast SLG strat? ive been trying to convince my raid leader to do it but he wants me to explain the whole strat to him, could any1 do it in short?

odd hazel
#

inb4 "you basically have to have that dagger to play sin competitively"

gloomy fern
#

u got the venom choker

limber lion
#

You kill the first goliath, you save the second goliath for Intermission.
You wait for 4 commandos to spawn. Once they spawn, you kill them all.
You throw the last orb either after the last heart rend or crystallize, your guild makes the call.

#

On 2nd intermission you do the same thing where you save the goliath, but here instead you just immediately start killing commandos instead of stacking them up.

#

Throw the last orb after wicked blades.

vale marten
#

that it?

limber lion
#

Yes sir.

#

It's not very complicated.

vale marten
#

cool, appreciate it

limber lion
#

You save goliaths, you kill the first commandos that spawn asap

vale marten
#

yeah i thought it would be more complex

limber lion
#

And you phase the boss quick.

#

A lot of guilds stall because they want to phase the boss after crystallize or whatever

#

So they afk 30s waiting for Crystallize to happen, then they phase it

odd hazel
#

an imposter has infiltrated us

Blood elfs.

#

vale marten
#

you mean windfury was giving too much?

odd hazel
#

i think the API was giving us rank 2 Wf totem

#

thats my guess though

vale marten
#

ah man i was 20 dps from 7.3now its so low lol

#

gloomy fern
grizzled trail
#

Euron you must love to when people tell you to link ur sim

#

Cream all over yourself

vale marten
#

hahahaha

#

yeah got a stiffy right now

odd hazel
#

tbh i think thats the highest ive seen in here

limber lion
gloomy fern
#

there are some bigger bois

limber lion
#

The tooltip says that it's 20% for everyone, so it's likely a bug and unintended.

vale marten
#

i see

limber lion
#

But whilst the bug persists, it's going to be included in the sims

vale marten
#

so it even worse that thought for melee

#

than*

limber lion
#

Not as giga as everyone thought yeh

gloomy fern
#

melee tuned with wft in mind -> wft been bugged whole exp

vale marten
#

btw cev, that choker you have, its literally the only upgrade in the game i can get haha

#

but chances of that are slim

limber lion
#

Yeh, I got pretty lucky with it when I still used to do m+

#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

So question

#

shiv comes off cooldown when I'm transitioning to the 2nd horseman in sire. It's coming off cooldown right after that hand of pain as I go through the mirror

#

And I'm throwing dots on sire as I'm running to the 2nd horseman

#

Do I shiv sire then or do I hold it for the add

#

I feel like if I shiv sire I gotta commit to him for 10s, but that's like 7s of not attacking the add

warm parcel
#

Who do you wana hit

odd hazel
#

if you know you wont hit the target, dont waste the CD basically

mint anvil
#

That's what I thought, just not sure if I would be losing more from holding it

#

Like in the cabalist phase when I'm dotting everything and shiv comes off cooldown for example

#

Is it better to use shiv right away and st commit

#

or finish dotting all 4, two cabalists + remoria/sire then shiv

warm parcel
#

Shiv wont matter in situation like that

#

Just throw it

mint anvil
#

So don't bother holding it, just use it on sire or w.e and instead of st committing on him just dot everything?

warm parcel
#

Ye

mint anvil

Aight thanks

Just build off of shiv target

it just means you dont enjoy it anymore rn, and need a break

compact pumice
# odd hazel People being burned out is wild to me

It is to me as well. But I am coming most recently from Classic and people who clear "old content" like that seems to have a bit different outlook on what the "game owes them" in that sense. Retail is so much more dead than Classic like on a day to day login to enjoy the game basis but there are way more things to do in retail tbh. I don't really understand it.

Prog can be frustrating if you're slow

#

Farm can get boring if you prog fast

odd hazel
lost horizon
#

Keys can get stale if you don't push

#

Chasing io can get frustrating when you push

odd hazel
#

There’s not only new content you know that right

lost horizon
#

Everyone has their experiences with problems in game, some people truxk through better than others

compact pumice
#

Farm is the only "grind" left in the game, maybe doing enough keys for Vault can be considered a grind.

#

But grind is literally one of the major things to do

odd hazel
#

Welcome to MMOs where you’re always grinding

compact pumice
#

Grinding is fun

lost horizon
#

I don't enjoy most old content

compact pumice
#

I love grinding

#

It's why RPGs are fun, you're constantly improving your character

lost horizon
#

Pushing keys is insanely time consuming, but I enjoy it so I do it

compact pumice
#

Sure, which the only reward for is the enjoyment pretty much!

lost horizon
#

And for constant improvement, a lot of people are fully decked out, and have been for months

limber lion
#

A lot of games are built around rng and grinding

compact pumice
#

Why is that not the case with farming raids?

#

I like it tbh

limber lion
#

So when you grind your ass, you get rewarded and the serotonin you get from the reward will push you to grind more

cobalt pelican

limber lion
#

Well, let's not pretend like we don't have a content drought

#

This is the only time a patch has been this long - ever.

#

This is the longest patch ever in the history

gloomy fern
#

but we got endless maw and thorgast content Kreygasm

limber lion
#

We'll be getting 9.1 in the same timeframe as Legion's 7.2.5 was dropped

sonic schooner
#

Torghast PiratePoggers

limber lion
#

That's 3 major content drops, before our first one

compact pumice
#

I think it's way easier to burn out on like a phase like phase 4 in Classic was, where all that came out was ZG which is a tier which don't really improve gearing that much (well it does but that's due to some poor itemization from before that tier).

#

Meanwhile 9.0 brought so much shit to grind

odd hazel
#

I’m always doing stuff so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

compact pumice
#

But still two guilds I've been in now have taken pause until 9.1...

limber lion
#

But Krey a lot of people have different ways of enjoying the game.

#

Some people enjoy farming mounts, transmogs, pets etc.

sonic schooner
#

Literally all the 6th guilds I joined anno OMEGAKEKW

limber lion
#

But not everyone enjoys doing that.

limber lion
#

Some people only get satisfaction from raiding and progression.

compact pumice
#

So much to do

#

still everyone takes a break

odd hazel
#

They are gutting them selfs then.

compact pumice
#

Just because there's announced content

limber lion
#

So when the raid is over and progression is over, it's a snooze fest after that.

gloomy fern
#

nothing to do but clear farm raid once a week

limber lion
#

Why are they gutting themselves?

#

That's the point of the game

#

There's a little bit of everything for everyone

sonic schooner
#

It depends what u wanna do ingame. Some ppls stop playin after killing Sire mythic, or even Heroic for some

limber lion
#

You're not supposed to like every single thing in the game

#

You don't need to do every single bit of content in the game just because you like the game

#

You get to pick and choose what you want to do.

compact pumice
#

But you're grinding to prepare for the future, improving you char and stats

limber lion
#

That's the point of a theme park MMO

#

You choose your ride

compact pumice
#

If you have things on the To Do-list

#

why take a break?

lost horizon
#

And is also basically wiped clean every tier

compact pumice
#

No one does old raids since it's useless

#

You only have one piece of content that's "useful" to do

#

the most recent

lost horizon
#

That's one opinion, however having to grind alts through old content to get them relevant is fucking ass

sonic schooner
#

I wanna kill Sire, pushh 2k4 in 2's, at least get all the +21 done, et get this fkin bird mount from Settek 's 😠

compact pumice
#

Nah man, I love boosting friends through a ZG if they newly dinged 60 in classic for example

#

Old raids being relevant for new chars is fun as long as it's not mandatory

lost horizon
#

Not mandatory as in, doesn't hard gate you from current content?

compact pumice
#

But now you just get a bunch of free Catch Up gear (which removes the whole progression part of an RPG)...

lost horizon
#

Causd legion for example, farming out old tier pieces, especially for titanforging, felt realllllly bad

compact pumice

It's just weird that Blizz chose to make everything they release obsolete as soon as something new comes out

But idk, saying people only liking raiding is gutting themselves and you don't understand how people get burned out when their piece of content they like is on a 7 month drought. It's a tad delusional

sonic schooner

🤓

compact pumice
#

eh well, not the Role-Playing aspect in the sense of living the story, but in the sense of doing content to improve your character compared to everything being reset at the start of every round as in some other games then it has always been an RPG
