Probably get way better performance to start off

#

And if you need a DNS you can probably get a cheap one

gusty mirage
#

have an old PC at work that I can set up as the database for it

#

and keep everything internal to start

compact pumice
#

Yeah. Old computers usually do pretty decent as low bandwidth servers

#

I don't have much exp with free AWS though

#

Seems it would have to be very limited to be profitable for them though

limber lion
#

Exsanguinate is my favorite talent.

gusty mirage

#

but if we want to discuss hosting we can move it to #off-topic

compact pumice
odd hazel
#

what would happen if we just fought fuu on this

#

how quick would that ban hammer come

gusty mirage
#

he'd probably just mute us for an hour

#

until we got bored and moved on

vestal wren
#

fight me on what, exsanguinate?

#

i don't like the talent

odd hazel
#

uh

#

yeah

#

exsanquinate

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

its not tuned badly intentionally

gusty mirage
#

it'd just be a nightmare to balance if they tried to buff it

limber lion
#

It's dead.

vestal wren
#

it just doesen't go well with the spec design anymore

limber lion
#

The best talent is also the worst talent

vestal wren
#

you could buff it by a lot and it would still be bad

limber lion
#

Such is the life of Exsanguinate

vestal wren
#

basically would need a rework to become relevant again

slim wagon
#

what potency conduit do we use for m+ as sin ?

desert inlet
#

give us Expedient again

compact pumice
#

I mean.... Blizzard used to "balance" far more complex talent trees. Not balancing this few rows of talents is kind of lazy. There really is no excuse for having parts of such a small tree that no one ever would pick without trolling.

limber lion
slim wagon
#

ok thank you

vestal wren
#

also exsang did when it was good always rely on haste snapshotting iirc

odd hazel
#

why is exsang so hard to balance?

limber lion
#

Exsang relied on using Shrouded Suffocation and having 60%+ haste

vestal wren
#

^

limber lion
#

Without both, it was useless

dawn ivy
#

if they force the talent itself to work for sin, we would find ways to make it busted

odd hazel
#

why?

limber lion
#

With just 80% haste, it's bad.

#

With just SS, it's bad

vestal wren
#

it was good in early bfa

limber lion
#

Needs so much borrowed power to make it good

vestal wren
#

because you used galecallers that gave you a ton of haste

#

that you could then use to snapshot to exsang

limber lion
#

And because Shrouded was broken

#

Legit broken

vestal wren
#

and in nyalotha

odd hazel
#

why is it bad though? does it just do so little damage with out so much pumping into it?

limber lion
#

You could oneshot people in arena

compact pumice
limber lion
#

With a single garrote

vestal wren
#

with corruption that drove the haste levels very high

#

exsang was outside of that not rly used

dawn ivy
#

alacrity is just unfortunately better in all scenarios

limber lion
compact pumice
#

If it doesn't work with Shadowlands changes but did before why was it ignored when they changed all the other stuff then?

vestal wren
#

also in bfa you now have alacrity thats just doing a lot for the spec

#

and that the talent competes against

limber lion
#

We would need massive buffs to our bleeds, a complete rework of the talent or massive borrowed power to make it good

dawn ivy
#

they didnt change exsanguinate because toxic blade was what got alot of attention

limber lion
#

I mean they changed Venom Rush in 8.0 as well

#

We never played the talent in BFA

#

And still don't

#

They're both completely dead

vestal wren
#

vr is undertuned

limber lion
#

The old VR was fine

#

No, it's just awful

#

It makes our 50 energy mutilate cost 42 energy

dawn ivy
#

i wish venom rush got changed to being a shiv focused talent

limber lion
#

VR was great in legion, but it was too op

#

So they had to tune it down

#

So instead they butchered it completely

gusty mirage
#

lmao

#

that seems to be the common way they deal with balancing issues

compact pumice
#

If they redesigned it to be easier to balance it would be even easier for them. Something like "Increases Garrote, Rupture to their maximum duration and they now do damage once every second". Then you can tweak how often it does damage.

dawn ivy
#

but then haste stocks would plummet

mental trout
#

just race changed to Orc - I see Blood Fury increases your attack power by 122... Didn't even realize Attack Power was still in this game lmao. So how do i even find out/ understand what it is even really doing to increase my power- in terms of what?

dawn ivy
#

its basically a flat damage amp to almost everything you use

limber lion
#

Yeh

#

It's just more damage on most things

dawn ivy
#

nothing to focus/track

mental trout
#

flat damage how though? like 122 dmg inc on each thing? just want to know what it actually does loil

#

like the math behind it

balmy condor
#

it's equal to 122 agility

dawn ivy
#

attack power is the man behind the curtain ACTUALLY giving you increased damage

balmy condor
#

each ability multiplies attack power

mental trout
#

its really 122 agility ?

#

that seems really strong

dawn ivy
#

its good

balmy condor
#

its aight

dawn ivy
#

one of the better racials that lines up with vendetta for a baby bump in dam

mental trout
#

yea seems really good... that plus Hardiness is lovee

gusty mirage
#

the real downside is the fact that all your mogs look like shit compared to belf

#

(:

balmy condor
#

its no mechagnome

compact pumice
#

Orc is pretty much the best DPS horde race

balmy condor
#

but it's pretty good

halcyon zealot
#

female orc is close second in terms of how mogs look imo

compact pumice
#

But Alliance have so many better

#

Female orc is just less bad than male orc.

halcyon zealot
#

nah armor looks good on them

#

better than most races in the game

compact pumice
#

I feel like none of the rogue sets are supposed to be that thick.

#

They look better on skinny types like Undead or Belf

mental trout
#

i like the way they look tbh, but 122 agility on a 2 min cd macro with badge of ferocity along with vendetta is so dopppppe

plain thistle
#

the attack power is flat

gusty mirage
#

added perk of orc being bis for pvp as well

compact pumice
#

Right. does Trolls scale better later?

compact pumice
plain thistle
#

belf, troll and/or troll zandalari can be better in 1 or 2 tiers

mental trout
#

yea hardiness is insane... thats why i race changed for pvp

limber lion
#

Belf is always better

#

Imagine looking at an orc's butt for 8 hours a day

#

Couldn't be me

dawn ivy
#

i was going to mention orc getting outscaled but its such a small number people get uppity

plain thistle
#

female orc is just a thicc human

teal bloom
#

Me neither, unless... 😳

#

Actually my rogue is fem blood elf too

mental trout
#

orc getting outscaled?

balmy condor
#

when 122 agi isn't as good as other racials

#

but racials in general are like

#

maybe 0.5% apart aside from the outliers

#

so tbh no point in caring

dawn ivy
#

it typically happens much later into an expansion

plain thistle
#

but I need all the dps

dawn ivy
#

i think orc started to get "outscaled" around end of EP?

#

I was alliance though so i didnt have much stake in knowing

balmy condor
#

I don't have space in my brain for useless info like that

#

so Idk either

#

only thing I know about racials is troll gives haste, orc gives attack power, belf gives energy, and mechagnome is crazy

gusty mirage
#

tauren rogue when?

balmy condor
#

oh and zandalari get to pick a bleed that doesn't work with doomblade or venomous wounds

gusty mirage
#

the voiceover for /moo alone makes it superior

balmy condor
#

cause that was something people thought worked

#

for like a month

#

anyone has wa for rupture with dynamic pandemic pls?

limber lion
#

Bring back BotE

#

Actually a really fun ability.

#

Putting all bleeds up on aoe then slamming that boy

rugged sandal
#

Is it bad to save flag for vend every time

empty tide
#

depends on fight, usually slamming flag on cd gets you an extra flag

#

really depends on kill times

limber lion
#

Just use it on cooldown my man.

rugged sandal
#

Yeah we’re on sire prog so I was just wondering what would be best

limber lion
#

On Sire you just slam on cooldown and start syncing in P3

rugged sandal
#

okay

odd hazel
#

@gusty mirage my group is gonna attempt mythic.

#

send help

outer lodge
#

Recommended Necro opener with MA? I've heard a few different ones

balmy condor
#

On 1 target?

outer lodge
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

Sbs snd mut rup

#

Could do mut gar rup too

#

Doesn’t matter

outer lodge
#

Use other 2 charges of sbs during gem/ 4+ point env during shiv?

balmy condor
#

Yep

outer lodge
#

Or just spam 3 in opener to apply rup

balmy condor
#

Gem should proc shortly after

#

So you should be able to slam another, shiv vanish, do a bit of that, then sbs again

outer lodge
#

Cool thanks peepoguns

#

can i ask some silly questions that have come up while leveling?

balmy condor
#

No, we ban for silly questions

#

This is serious conversation only

spice spire
#

Whispyr is a tyrant :/

balmy condor
cobalt pelican
#

press silly on cooldown

balmy condor
#

As long as you’re aware that leveling is basically meaningless on retail, I think it’s fine

#

Had some guy ask me for stat priorities for a level 25 one time

#

Was an interesting conversation

fringe anchor
#

ok serious business only, so uh, is it worth to use an ilvl 110 weapon with haste on it over my 233 sire weapon token that doesn't have haste?

#

😉

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

100%

fringe anchor
#

heard chef

spice spire
balmy condor
#

I tell @limber lion all the time, if you can’t get a 233 this week, just do lfr and get a haste dagger, just as good

#

He doesn’t get the dagger from lfr either

#

But it’s worth a shot

odd hazel
fringe anchor
#

so i know that refreshing my dots increases the duration, pandemic something something, but if they've already been increased, there's no reason to refresh until they're closer to expiration?

#

specifically for garrote, where i feel inclined to refresh it every 6 seconds when i'm pretty sure that does nothing (besides throw out energy)

odd hazel
#

just refresh before it falls off

balmy condor
#

Yeah that doesn’t do anything

#

You can’t extend past the maximum

#

!pd

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

balmy condor
#

So 18 + 5.4 is 23.4

#

That’s the maximum for any garrote

#

If you cast at 15 left, it’s still just 18 from the new one, plus the 5.4 from the old one

gusty mirage
#

WOW

#

rude

spice spire
#

Toxic I know kekw

slow marsh
#

I thought a52 was a dead server

#

Especially for horde

gusty mirage
#

your mom

slow marsh
#

like 3 guilds on it or

spice spire
#

True whispyr’s guild, some crappy mythic guild and their one alliance guild kekw

slow marsh
#

Yeah

fringe anchor
#

subterfuge doesn't snapshot its damage increase does it

gusty mirage
#

garrotes from stealth do 80% more damage, so it just passively empowers the entire garrote

odd hazel
gusty mirage
#

they're being mean

odd hazel
#

BULLYYYSSS

gusty mirage
#

and bullying me

odd hazel
#

when i played a lock for 4 years, area-52 was my home

spice spire
slow marsh
#

Yeah

gusty mirage
#

whispyr ignores us anyway

spice spire
#

But very much you kekw

odd hazel
#

tbh though i dont even know of any other good horde servers

spice spire
#

How dare he not respond to every single thing angery

gusty mirage
#

zuljin, tich, illidan

spice spire
odd hazel
#

Mal'ganis......gross

gusty mirage
#

pretty much any high pop server that isn't stormrage lmao

spice spire
#

@ me

fringe anchor
#

so double garroting after stealth would give me an extra ~5 seconds of buffed garrote

#

that's what i've been doing, habit i need to break?

odd hazel
#

are you garroting right away after your first one?

#

you shouldnt do that

spice spire
#

ST the talent should be Master Assassin

fringe anchor
#

garrote-amush-garrote is what i've been doing w my 3 seconds

spice spire
#

Oh no

odd hazel
#

yeah, dont do that

fringe anchor
#

aye

spice spire
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

spice spire
#

On top of that, for a single target opener with subterfuge it’ll be more along the lines of garrote > mutilate > SnD >

fringe anchor
#

was wondering about the combo point difference tbh

#

i've replaced it on my stealth bar

odd hazel
#

you only use Ambush with BS procs

fringe anchor
#

yeah sounds good

spice spire

Realized how it may have come off, but you’re learning a class, it’s not big deal. We’d rather you ask questions than continue to mess up - it’s all a learning experience makeit4ByGeorge

Oh were you not around when ask mr robot came in here during legion and told people the class discords are shit, and then made up random nonsense statistics showing how toxic the channels are?

The blog was taken down really quick

I wish I could've seen that

balmy condor

Where you can kinda read it over his shoulder

That sounds like some a++ shit

balmy condor

They had all sorts of pie charts like “questions answered”

#

And it said 78% of questions were unanswered

Or some shit

hollow river
#

who is ask my robot

#

dude who made an add on?

balmy condor
#

And they were like “you know we’re right because we used a bot to scrub the chat logs”

balmy condor

But they do their own sims

hollow river

ahhh

balmy condor

And it’s really bad

#

And their numbers make 0 sense

hollow river

o.O

balmy condor

And no one knows who their theorycrafters are

#

And who maintains their sims

#

It’s like the Noxxic of simulations

odd hazel

ive seen people say noxxic is good

You should politely tell them to get a new hobby

Figure it's worth to donate some to the developer for a good product

balmy condor
#

I just fork up the 100 a year or whatever

hollow river
#

Tbh that’s how it’s been for me too lately

#

Log in for raid maybe a few other things other than that it’s chillin with the boiz and the occasional ladyfriend

compact pumice
#

Before Discord it was way harder to create lasting communities, especially since it's harder for them to have similar uses and how they work

#

Easier to explain to a newbie than IRC

#

Less fucky than facebook groups or whatever

#

Just a good product tbh

hollow river
#

Used to use IRC a lot too

wanton terrace
#

Random question, should I oil and stone my weapons or use stones on both?

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

compact pumice
#

I mean IRC is pretty great, but there's just too much "shit to know" about IRC to explore communities and get other's to join yours or whatever

balmy condor
#

The old irc days

hollow river
#

Yeah lots of commands

compact pumice
#

I mean I could probably teach my mom how to use Discord, over the phone, with just a link.

#

Imagine doing that with IRC

hollow river
#

Used to use IRC for RuneScape rofl

compact pumice
#

I used to only communicate ingame via color coded wavy text to sell my lobsters

hollow river
#

Yeah discord is definitely much nicer

Noxxic says vers>crit>mas>haste

vers highest? that's a new one

#

For PvP I guess?

balmy condor
#

Bunch of clowns over there at noxxic

#

They throw darts at a board tbh

compact pumice
#

I mean I wish I could sim PvP stats tbh!

#

Is there a way?

balmy condor
#

No

hollow river
#

Anyone using that pawn string is screwed up lol

balmy condor
#

Anyone using pawn* is screwed up

#

Fixed that for you

hollow river
#

I like the design of the website

#

Really?

balmy condor
#

Pawn is giga shit

#

Why would anyone use it

hollow river
#

Can’t you plug your own sim stat weights into it

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

But we don’t recommend stat weights sims either

#

So you’re taking a “bad” sim

#

And plugging it into an addon

#

And then making decisions from that

hollow river
#

O:

balmy condor
#

And then if you want your pawn to be accurate, you have to resim on every piece of gear

#

If you don’t, it’s inaccurate again

#

So you have to resim for every piece

#

When you could just sim top gear instead for it

#

But instead of just using an accurate sim type

compact pumice
balmy condor
#

You take like 6 extra steps

#

To get a worse result

hollow river
#

But yea their info is much different than here

fringe anchor
#

pawn in general is .-.

compact pumice
# hollow river I meant noxxic

Ok checking it out. Looks like it has a designer with a good eye tbh! But the information seems reaaaaaally outdated. It's easy to get fooled by good design if the content is lackluster.

That might be why the stat weights are pretty whack. Just check the Gems and enchants. They seem like they are still BFA? Just guessing but not relevant to Shadowlands at least. Even though the title is AssassinationPvELevel 60 (End-Game) 9.0.5 Shadowlands

balmy condor
#

Noxxic is just a cash grab

compact pumice
#

Yeah that might be the case

hollow river
#

From the ads?

compact pumice
#

It's way more lucrative to focus on good, marketable design than accurate data and information, because that shit is hard to get.

balmy condor
#

Yeah

hollow river
#

Going to every class discord is hard? xD

compact pumice
#

But if you look like you are smart and talk like you know everything then you're basically doing what every fucking MBA in the world is doing. Just trying to "fake it til you make it"

#

It's not a bad strat tbh. You can get by being quite average if you can just sell yourself better than average.

hollow river
#

They definitely have plenty of ads though

#

5 per page

compact pumice
#

I wouldn't know. I just see this shit: "noxxic is supported entirely by ads. please whitelist us to support our continuation of guide updates and site development. <3"

hollow river
compact pumice
#

Yeah, it's just the first I've seen it

#

and my honest first reaction

hollow river
#

Ad blocker?

compact pumice
#

Yeah

hollow river
#

How does one do such magic

compact pumice
#

I just use UBlock Origin. Good shit. Can't barely use the internet without some equivalent

hollow river
#

Until the past few months I have not had my own computer or gamed for like 10 years

compact pumice
#

Funny thing about Noxxic: The stat weight has Versa highest but basically no gear in the BiS gear has Vers, that's just contradiction

hollow river
#

Ive got a lot to catch up on lol

compact pumice
#

I was interested to see the BiS list if he has that weird stat weight

hollow river
#

They basically just put in all raid gear almost

fringe anchor
#

yeah i was thinking it was 15 but that didn't feel right

compact pumice
wise fiber
#

shadowgrap totem any good now a days for us?

balmy condor
compact pumice
#

It scales pretty weird. the 220 is way worse than 226 for some reason

#

More so than other trinkets

#

Also it's really good esp as Venthyr right? Since it is hasted

peak haven
#

Twisting corridor isn't open for me..not sure why. I know it requires a quest but the guy that gives it doesn't have one for me

steel geyser
#

Questchain from Bolvar in oribos?

compact pumice
#

On one char you need to complete the questline that starts from your Covenant but basically actually starts in Oribos yeah

steel geyser
#

Maybe you have one already in ur quest log in the maw categorie

peak haven
#

So the first quest in his line is explore torghast, I did it but he didn't give me a second quest

steel geyser
#

Hmm

compact pumice
#

It's still time gated I think

#

You need to do a new Torghast-related quest each week

#

I think

steel geyser
#

Yea some quests of the chain are still gated I reckon

compact pumice
#

But it's shared between chars now

peak haven
#

So its going to take me 7 weeks to up twisting corridors? Lol

#

Ffs.

steel geyser
#

But most of them are not anymore for sure, I did it on 5 chars already 😭

#

No way not 7 weeks

#

Way less

peak haven
#

Guess I may as well wait for mortregar wing to open.

drifting cloud
#

I think someone once said only the first quest is timegated apparently, but have you tried relogging

steel geyser
#

Maybe tied to covenant compaign? Idk tbh I never had any problem with this quest chain tbh

peak haven
#

I have my covenant

compact pumice
#

Or have another char that is almost finished with the q-line

peak haven
#

Nope I don't @compact pumice .I turned in the first quest for the line to him that gives him the key

#

And he gave nothing after

#

Nah this is my first char

compact pumice
# peak haven Nope I don't <@237563348575715330> .I turned in the first quest for the line to ...

If no quest then you'll get a new one next week. Might be gated per week for the next 7 weeks until the first TC questline or might not be. Most people have done it already on one char so I don't think many in here have first hand experience on how it works now with all the catch-up systems but I have specifically heard that the basically only thing time-gated thing left is the Torghast q line. How much I am unsure of.

peak haven
#

Shit.

#

I hate knowing it will be a while til I get my legendary when 98% of people have access to it

#

And it feels like such a big part of pvp.

#

I wonder how long til mortgar wing opens.

compact pumice
#

Just checked it:
"Currently, it seems like Torghast wing rotations are simply randomized."

peak haven
#

Do they reset weekly

compact pumice
#

Yes

peak haven
#

When does the week end.

odd hazel
#

every tuesday

compact pumice
#

Tues on US and Wed on EU

peak haven
#

Just BEND ME OVER BLIZZARD

compact pumice
#

Also I haven't seen any Torghast wing be up two times in a row

#

So it's pretty much 50% chance of Mort'regar being up next week if it's randomized between the 4 wings not up this week.

peak haven
#

this is depressing.

#

Just gate me from having a shot at pvp

#

Ffs.

stoic needle
#

you can make MA

peak haven
#

Guess so.

compact pumice
#

But he prob doesn't have the ash for multiple leggos? If you just started farming Torghast

peak haven
#

Guess it's better than nothing

compact pumice
#

MA is really good dude

#

Don't worry

stoic needle
#

it's only a week

peak haven
#

How many Ash you need

stoic needle
#

its not that big of a deal

compact pumice
#

1250 Ash for a r1 lego

#

5150 for a R4 iirc

peak haven
#

I better get farming.

#

Oh shit..there's tiers of leggos?

#

Can you go straight for an r4

#

Since you know...I got time

compact pumice
#

If you're this upset that you can't farm basically the first week then you should have a bit more patience with the game tbh

#

It's the long haul for most things

compact pumice
peak haven
#

I have 25k hours in BDO. Patience is something I have. Just gets a bit annoying when weeklies gate you and not your own time input.

compact pumice
#

But it doesn't cost more Ash to craft a Rank 1 first then upgrade it to a rank 4 later

peak haven
#

Especially when everyone else has legfos

#

Leggos

compact pumice
#

I miss actual farms 😩

peak haven
#

I wouldnt mind it if everyone didn't have leggos but since I don't that really kicks me in the nuts for pvp that's all.

#

But ya its cool ill wait thanks for the info

compact pumice
#

PvP gear takes a while to accrue.

#

Grinding that shit out is gonna improve more than a lego

peak haven
#

For sure

compact pumice
#

especially since Legos are only damage

#

Meanwhile PvP gear is more about a combination of surv and damage for free (since it's all upgrades at the start).

#

Start grinding some conquest and honor. Look at some guides on how to quickest gear in PvP because it takes some finesse, more than I have, on how to balance your input and maximize your vault each week. Especially with bad gear.

#

Doomblade is more of a... slower PvP lego anyway. It basically gets effective when you can survive for a long time. If you rely on burst to end games quick then MA is gonna be a lot better for that.

peak haven
#

Can I solo ToF at 188 ilevel

#

Thanks for all your info btw

compact pumice
#

(a downside is that it makes your defensive CD Vanish into a DPS CD, but with low gear it's usually make or break from the opener anyway)

peak haven
#

Just figured doomblade was really good since im necrolord

thorny rampart
#

ct on 2+ targets?

compact pumice
#

ToF? @peak haven

peak haven
#

Theatre of pain

compact pumice
peak haven
#

For my master

low girder
#

definitely not

peak haven
#

Google says its there

thorny rampart
#

@compact pumice tyvm 🙂

low girder
#

you can queue for it though

compact pumice
#

Yeah you're gonna need to queue for that

peak haven
#

Np thank guys

compact pumice
#

Soloing lvl 60 dungeons even on normal is going to be tough if you're not a tank

peak haven
#

So just get tier 1 master first

compact pumice
#

Even with max gear

#

Yeah if you focus on PVP or want to have a lego that works on all specs now at the start it's a really good choice

peak haven
#

I just heard about the nerf so I was worried

compact pumice
#

I basically use it for BGs, open world pvp, some Comps in 2s.

#

But Doomblade is kind of the better if you can't burst something down (also it's just always there so it's easier to use and will be more effective damage overall for longer arena matches)

compact pumice
#

Well unless we're talking Outlaw M+

peak haven
#

There's a good bit of time til then I guess

#

So ill just make a t1 master til I can make my doom

compact pumice
#

Yes. Probably at least a month

#

Some think more, some think about a month but who knows, they seem unsure when to release it themselves.

peak haven
#

Off topic question, why isn't haste our most used stat since its bled and poison dmg

#

I mean mastery

#

My bad

odd hazel
#

because our bleeds dont do much

peak haven
#

Tragic.

#

How much Ash can I farm a day?

#

Is there alockout

odd hazel
#

you can only do each wing once for ash

low girder
#

1140 per week, plus possible missions

compact pumice
#

Yeah you get 50 for the first Torghast q's then you get as much as 200 in the end for the q's.

low girder
#

also those, yeah

compact pumice
#

But other wise doing layer 8 is 570 soul ash per wing

peak haven
#

Oh wait so I cant even make a leg in 1 week

compact pumice
#

Mission table can reward some Ash too, but I'd say most weeks you should probably count more on those 570.

peak haven
#

If it requires 1250

compact pumice
#

You probably get 110 from the Torghast q's if you can do several OR you are real close unless you also make a mission table first week and do quests until you get the Ash mission which rewards 150 more usually

peak haven
#

I have 320 Ash and I've done 2 runs of torg

compact pumice
#

I've made a lego first week on alts at least.

#

But we get to go to layer 8 right away on alts

#

Once you get to layer 8 you will max out the amount of Ash you get from that wing

peak haven
#

Can a high level take me to do that

compact pumice
#

Yes

peak haven
#

Nice

#

Do you get extra Ash within the wing or only at the end? I've been stealthily all the way through to the bosses

compact pumice
#

So you will need to do layers 1 through 8 then do a layer 8 on a second wing to max out Ash first week

peak haven
#

Ok good lol

#

Was worried

#

Thanks for your time man haha

low girder
#

the high level will have to still do them one at a time though

#

they can't just take you to layer 8

compact pumice
#

No probs

#

Yeah

#

You'll be fine on the first ones

#

Might even make a layer 8 TBH, Torghast is not really hard, but it's gonna be harder than for most good geared chars at least

#

You can queue for Torghast in the LFG tool if I'm not mistaken

#

never done it

#

so not sure

#

But you can probably do some 5 man runs

#

probably makes it real quick and easier, but don't know about lower layer runs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

fringe anchor
#

i should be saving any ambush procs for after my vendetta ?

compact pumice
fringe anchor
#

even during vendetta? i feel i'm dangerous close to overcapping then

compact pumice
#

During the first 3 seconds? Yeah you might overcap then but it's worth it over losing the proc chance for a new Blindside from a mutilate

fringe anchor
#

hmm

#

so is overcapping not as critical as i'm used to

compact pumice
#

I think you should be able to use the energy quick enough, unless you start with a blindside, muti then proc blindside again, but odds are the third ability will be a finisher anyway

fringe anchor
#

it was in the guide somewhere but where should i be looking to be at with cp and energy when using vendetta

compact pumice
#

Overcapping energy is for sure a loss of damage. But in the opener at least you will be pretty starved WHEN you pop vendetta so that any blindside proc in those 3 seconds will not automatically lead to a overcap

#

But using a mutilate when you have Blindside is a big loss

balmy condor
#

With opener energy, lust, and lucky blindside procs it can get a little bit hairy

#

But usually deeper strat is slow enough to make it very rare

compact pumice
#

Even with Vigor it feels like it should be pretty rare to overcap. It feels really hard to overcap with that huge energy pool.

#

At least during the opener, but if you pool before a shiv window+mid pull vendetta and get a lucky BS proc there it might be harder to not overcap I suppose

#

But you don't need to pool as much energy for one of those Shivs+Vendettas mid pull, due to vendettas energy boost

fringe anchor
#

are vigor and deeper strat the two main picks on that row

balmy condor
#

Yes

fringe anchor
#

shame if so mfd is fun

balmy condor
#

Mfd in keys is okay

fringe anchor
#

fair

balmy condor
#

But it’s kinda painful

compact pumice
#

MFD does sim Higher for M+. If you perfect it you should be better with it

balmy condor
#

To play subterfuge and mfd

compact pumice
#

But it's harder for some reason

#

as Assa

#

On Outlaw I run both mouseover SBS and MFD and don't really feel like it's too much (well on some pulls it might be hard to get all spikes out and MFD the right targets if they have low HP).

#

But it might be just getting used to, and since Vigor is so close in M+ I just run it instead

#

đŸŠ„

fringe anchor
#

i'll give vigor a shot in this dungeon

#

lvl 46 tho

#

almost there 🙂

cerulean nest
#

how do I gain good info from m+ logs? just checked my page for the first time and I have insane parses, but I know that's not a real thing

balmy condor
#

You have to dive into it and see uptimes etc

#

Or you review a vod

cerulean nest
#

how does the Leaderboard scoring thing work?

#

feels jank

balmy condor
#

It’a purely based on the key level and time from what I can tell

#

But the parse is based only on the key level? Or the speed at that level?

fringe anchor
#

another silly question is wowAnalyzer maintained for y'all

balmy condor
#

No

fringe anchor
#

shame

#

so i gotta do all the legwork manually

balmy condor
#

Yeah I don’t really think something like wowanalyzer is worth the effort

cobalt pelican
#

i think key parses on wcl are including every key level or at least segmented key levels, cause in each log there's a specific key% parse

balmy condor
#

At least not for how basic it is

cobalt pelican
#

idk though just ignore all those numbers lol

#

if you wanna do anything with m+ logs it's all manual

balmy condor
#

It’ll tell you like you had downtime on shriek

#

Which yeah fucking duh you did

#

It’s shriek

teal bloom
#

Just kill it before the intermission starts EZ

cerulean nest
#

i have like a small handful of randomly logged ones

cobalt pelican
#

i log all my keys, it's handy and no input from my side

cerulean nest
#

I probably should start

fringe anchor
#

can get them to auto log

#

then you just gotta do the work to upload

cobalt pelican
#

these are the log names

#

of a true large brain

fringe anchor
#

i mean i use wowA just to yell at me for lots of missed cooldowns or overcapped resources

#

which is pretty basic, but it saves a lot of clicks on wcl

#

but again, it seems significantly easier to overcap here than on my bdk

#

what with the seal fate procs

compact pumice
#

Yeah but I don’t think it bases any of the parse on damage. It’s due to it checking many of the logs from the leaderboard which usually doesn’t have an accompanying log so it doesn’t have any damage done to go by. So it’s probably like some algorithm that accounts for speed and key level some way, and then also they key% probably only accounts for speed?

compact pumice
fringe anchor
#

oh i know

#

but wowa wouldn't necessarily know that

compact pumice
#

Well, it can, since the seal fate CPs are grouped under Seal Fate basically

fringe anchor
#

oooh fun

compact pumice
#

Tbh I find over capping CPs is easier as Outlaw with Broadside rolls together with SS procs and opportunity, also with SBS being kind of unpredictable sometimes.

compact pumice
# cobalt pelican i log all my keys, it's handy and no input from my side

I really like doing it (well, that it does it auto for me) because WCL is a lot more reasonable in counting actual interrupts from stuns and gouge, while Details only displays full interrupts (and I think silence?). And it also groups how many spells per pack etc goes uninterrupted. Pretty neat for actual analysis

#

Just too bad that the actual parse nr is kind of yank. But that’s mainly due to many of the highest “parses” are from the Leaderboard and doesn’t have an uploaded log for it to count.

#

So the system has to be based on information from the leaderboard

gusty shore
#

If we want to be only using bone spike during gemstones / cap wouldnt we also want to cast it during the MA window ?

slow marsh
#

First MA window is more about getting your buffs/debuffs up

gusty shore
#

I mean on the vanish one

slow marsh
#

On pull that is

gusty shore
#

In ven

slow marsh
#

yeah

#

you should have gems up at that point

gusty shore
#

It just tends to desync a bit on latter casts

#

Still within ven tho

slow marsh
#

Yeah idk about later casts

#

If you can line it up then cool but idk if it makes that big of a difference to sacrifice other stuff to get the perfect lineup

gusty shore
#

Like if your on second ven and shiv is ready right away but gemstones comes like half way though ven

#

I wonder which you would prioritse to dump charges

stoic needle
#

dumping charges in gemstones is the only way that necro is close to venthyr in single target

#

so it's pretty important

gusty shore
#

Wouldn't it be logical then to do it duing ma as a higher priority then ?

slow marsh
#

I mean sure

gusty shore
#

+50% rather than 18

slow marsh
#

as long as you're not capping, that would be the ideal setup

stoic needle
#

no not during ma

gusty shore
#

Why is that

stoic needle
#

the MA window is shorter

gusty shore
#

What does that change though

#

Once the dot is on

#

They are both basically instant damage

stoic needle
#

once the dot is up, mut is a better generator during MA because it gives more CP

slow marsh
#

I think in that instance more envenoms outweighs extra chance to crit with sbs

#

whereas you can still get crits with sbs during gems

#

either way

#

but idk

#

I get what you're saying

gusty shore
#

Your only ever getting 1 enven in the ma anyway right

slow marsh
#

but that would be more of a question for the man himself

gusty shore
#

I'm just curious to understand the distinction

#

If the cp is worth more from mut during crit buff

#

Wouldn't you then want to either mut for both or nether ?

stoic needle
#

you can get 2 if you get lucky with crits

slow marsh
#

The distinction is mostly towards extra mut cp > sbs dam

stoic needle
#

envenom > mut > envenom

slow marsh
#

Cuz you're literally doubling your cp generation

gusty shore
#

Doesnt it max at +4

stoic needle
#

yes, and sbs doesn't give 4 unless there are multiple targets with the dot

slow marsh
#

vs getting a little extra chance to crit on something that already has a good chance of critting

gusty shore
#

So would you 4cp enven then

#

Cause you wouldnt be able to get to 5

stoic needle
#

you prioritize SBS during gemstones because you're guaranteed to use mut during gemstones as well, and if you dont use it somewhere you will overcap

#

i'm talking about with vigor

slow marsh
#

I mean if you're running vig which you probably are then yeah

gusty shore
#

Nah ds

slow marsh
#

Have you simmed both

gusty shore
#

Yeah

#

If the logic is that mut is better during crit buff

#

THen wouldnt you want to use charges randomly outside of gem

#

And only mut during gem too

slow marsh
#

no

stoic needle
#

gem is a longer buff

#

you wouldn't have the energy to mut the whole gemstones window

#

the energy efficiency of sbs lets you do both

gusty shore
#

Ah so it comes down to an energy thing

#

Making the difference

stoic needle
#

law conduits? pepehmm

slow marsh
#

you are using outlaw conduit

gusty shore
#

Wait wtf

#

Its not replacing

#

Ph

slow marsh
#

imo run the sim and link the whole sim not a screenshot

gusty shore
#

Oh

#

Emeni

slow marsh
#

so we can actually look at what it is

slow marsh
#

that's weird DS is so much higher imo but

gusty shore
#

Its always been like that for me

#

Seems most on logs too

slow marsh
#

I mean I knew it was close at least

#

Most people go vigor for the feels since it's close

gusty shore
#

Maybe cause of high haste

stoic needle
#

the last thing you linked didn't compare the talents properly

gusty shore
#

?

stoic needle
#

the last sim you linked

#

didn't compare the talents properly and had outlaw soulbinds

#

i fixed it for you and posted that new link which should be finished simming shortly

gusty shore
#

Not the top two

#

I know that fractures is the highest

stoic needle
#

still the comparison is between EP/vigor and BS/DS and you didn't sim that

#

also found some other gains from the gear in your bags

#

wait this is a dslice sim lol

gusty shore
#

You linked dungeon slice

stoic needle
#

hold on

gusty shore
#

The gems on my gear are wrong ik that

#

Outlaw gems

#

But I just did the sim to be fast

#

The haste would make vigor worse

stoic needle
#

haste gems/enchants sim best for necro sin regardless of talents and don't really change the value of the talents in relationship to eachother

#

BS/vigor is worse than EP/vigor at this point so that's why we compare bs/ds vs ep/vigor

gusty shore
#

My understand was haste making dots tick quicker and the base regen gives you more energy which devalues the energy regen of vigor

#

Could be completely wrong

#

idk

stoic needle
#

sure, but we aren't at that point yet

#

in next tier's gear we will run ep/deeper

#

check the sim i linked, ep/deeper is only 11 dps behind bs/ds for you

#

similar to me

#

and hateful chain is a little better than memory for you which makes sense because it's hasted

gusty shore
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

just btw I took a glance at sbs usage, and you happened to link some of your characters sims, so here's a sim comparing certain sbs usages. I don't really have an explanation for it cause I didn't look too hard, but it doesn't seem to matter too much https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/96qcsZ8QsCxU9rqKGew1qk

#

I'm guessing it's some thresholding jank

gusty shore
#

Would it be difficult to add sbs during ma

balmy condor
#

that's been shown to be a huge loss

#

but I can make that happen real quick

gusty shore
#

Does "sbs during vend/gem" not do it during gem outside ven ?

balmy condor
#

it casts during vend/gem unless it's about to overcap charges

#

with MA

gusty shore
#

Interesting

balmy condor
#

I remember one of the first passes during beta

#

was to get SBS out of MA

#

and then eventually it was shown to be a gain to cast it with <0.8 seconds left on MA

#

(which only really happens when you're kinda starved and can't get anything else out)

#

so it was sort of a catch-all

#

so with heirmir it was just kinda casting it to prevent overcap

gusty shore
#

Is that string only casting it during ma strictly ?

balmy condor
#

which

gusty shore
#

~actions.direct+="/serrated_bone_spike,if=variable.use_filler&master_assassin_remains>0&(fight_remains<=5|debuff.shiv.up|cooldown.serrated_bone_spike.charges_fractional>=2.75|soulbind.lead_by_example.enabled&!buff.lead_by_example.up)"~

balmy condor
#

yeh

gusty shore
#

My though process it to still use if about to cap, and during gems outside ven

balmy condor
#

so that uses it if you have ma, and the other lines prevent it from overcapping

balmy condor
#

only difference is that it also casts on gems in vendetta

hazy crater
#

I think that line only makes it cast during MA no? because it's &

gusty shore
#

Yeah

#

Thats what i was thinking

slim cipher
#

Good Sin leggos to farm for 9.1?

hazy crater
#

You have to change the whole line to also prevent from overcap

slim cipher
#

I have the master one already

#

pvp wise

gusty shore
#

I changed it to also do it during gems

#

+3

hazy crater
gusty shore
#

Within margin

#

@balmy condor

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that doesn't actually change the usage

#

you just got it back to the default usage

#

or at least it changes like

#

2 globals

gusty shore
#

It should use it with MA but not Gem

#

If that occurs

hazy crater
#

yeah but that probably doesn't really occur so

balmy condor
#

yeah the usage is pretty much identical

gusty shore
#

It should at the start of the vendettas right

#

Past the first

balmy condor
#

only real difference is that it does sbs snd sbs

#

instead of sbs snd mut

gusty shore
#

Ah right

#

Would need to get it to not do that

hollow river
#

How do you get to the strings?

gusty shore
#

Raw input

#

At the bottom

hollow river
#

Ah right so you have to find it in all that?

balmy condor
hollow river
#

Looks like 95% of it is the base code of the class/spec

balmy condor
#

I think the lesson here is that it doesn't really matter that much

balmy condor
#

you can click on that

gusty shore
#

Yeah

#

Seems to not matter either way

balmy condor
#

can select something like here

#

and then profile

#

and it'll give you the raw input with the APL

gusty shore
#

Can get it here too

balmy condor
#

yeah that works too on advanced sims that already have it

hollow river
gusty shore
#

Click the thing circled in red

balmy condor
#

if the sim didn't run with APL you won't be able to get it from the input

gusty shore
#

And modify the copies at the bottom

balmy condor
#

but the raw input in this case has it

hollow river
#

Ah I lied I have the full html as well

balmy condor
#

the full html would be for things like quick sims and top gear

#

where you don't already input the APL

#

the advanced sim here already has it

#

so you can pull it from there

#

also to note, if you're using a code editor, APL is similar to make

hollow river
#

(dot.serrated_bone_spike_dot.ticking*600),if=variable.use_filler&!dot.serrated_bone_spike_dot.ticking"

When MA is not at high duration, use SBS to apply Lead by Example during Vendetta, otherwise keep from capping charges

actions.direct+="/serrated_bone_spike,if=(variable.use_filler&master_assassin_remains>0)|(variable.use_filler&

balmy condor
#

and the actual engine and stuff is C++

#

in case you wanted to look at that

dawn ivy
#

whispyr why are you giving people the tools to their own destruction

hollow river
#

It has been a very long time since I’ve coded anything, and that was mostly simple web development/JavaScript

balmy condor
#

I've seen some uh, lets call it "out of the box thinkers" come up with some gains

#

more eyes on things is usually a good thing

#

we don't really need the eyes

#

tbh

#

but it's all opensource

#

so it's not detrimental or anything

#

if anyone needs help it's shamans/warrior/warlocks

#

those guys always need more hands

out of the box thinkers? peepoGiggles

balmy condor
#

people I've flamed enough for their dumb shit

#

I'm reformed

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

if everyone around me stops saying stupid things

gusty shore
#

How would i check if vendetta is on target

balmy condor
#

I'm super reformed

gusty shore
#

Is it debuff.vendetta.up ?

balmy condor
#

stoic needle
#

i'll never stop saying stupid things

#

#

if you can't beat em, just become a frenchman and give up

#

so hypothetically if the damage domination gems are actually powerful, we would need to craft dashing on cloak and drop doomblade wouldnt we

balmy condor
#

depends how powerful

#

but that timeline is a possibility

hollow river
#

Is spike not looking good for st?

balmy condor
#

I actually also see a possibility for duskwalker to be a good

stoic needle
#

oh really?

hollow river
#

O:

balmy condor
#

that ones a bit of a stretch

#

but that vend uptime, pretty decent

stoic needle
#

1 min vends are kinda stonks

balmy condor
#

all depends on what blizz decides to do with the gems

#

cause who fucking knows at this point

hollow river
#

Zoldy slots are also gonna be gemmed aren’t they

balmy condor
#

I don't think legs are

#

maybe they are

#

idk

stoic needle
#

legs aren't

#

for now.......

balmy condor
#

new maw rep allows adding domination sockets

#

get on the grind osh

stoic needle
balmy condor
#

but you can only socket every other item slot, on a thursday past 7pm when saturn is in retrograde

#

so

#

good luck

stoic needle
#

my analysis: bitch what the fuck

balmy condor
#

blizzard: "This is a compelling system that rewards the players with enough courage to brave the depths of the maw"

#

gating random nonsense behind more random nonsense

#

that's the shadowlands way

#

before sire p3 should i dot remornia?

#

i mean before the phase starts

balmy condor
#

doesn't matter

#

remoria becomes immune

#

or 99% or something

#

idk shits weird

#

either way she doesn't end up taking damage

#

but sbs stays for a little

#

and then disappears too

#

the transition from p2 into p3 makes for all sorts of weird interactions

10 days since Whispyrttv strim. I walk through the empty streets trying to think of something else but my path always leads to the stream. I stare at the screen for hours and try to summon the lord. I watch other asian girls streaming but it is no good. I flame Oshosi's ilevel 220 gloves in Ravenholdt and try to resist caring about secondary stats but it is all meaningless. The end is near. I then usually watch some old Whispyrttv vods and cry myself to sleep.
