Is it? Because there was an entire post talking about disabling Plater and it fixed it

limber lion
#

Linkerino pepperino

amber mountain
#

I also don't tend to run WA's grabbed from wago.io, i've been building my own on an as needed basis. So I'm not exactly WA heavy

limber lion
#

I've heard of people playing without nameplates at all

alpine latch
#

lemme find it

limber lion
#

And still getting destroyed

#

by the lag

amber mountain
#

Plater is something I use extensively. Again, with a plate setup I built myself to deal with my colourblind issues

#

The default UI is garbo for colourblind people

spice spire
#

KUI default works well for me

#

It’s in plater but it’s nice

amber mountain
#

I used KUI for a while, but I needed more flexibility

spice spire
#

Oh no, it’s the KUI look, someone did a string for plater

amber mountain
#

Ah

spice spire
#

Ye

#

It’s much better than the default, I’m also colorblind

vestal wren
#

i mean it rly comes down to how far we want to go down the rabbit hole.
e.g. i know its common to use those "raid mechanic" weakauras, they are known to have performance impact and often caused crashes or other issues

amber mountain
#

That would have made my customizations easier 😛 Since I made it look as close to KUI as I could at the start

knotty flame
#

I never had an issue past the first big set of adds on denny. But boy was that first set a Fiesta

amber mountain
#

I've never run Daddy D on Mythic... soooo I've only ever dipped as far as ~90fps on the fight?

vestal wren
#

to be clear, i have no obligation to tell anyone what he should use.
my point is literally that you can get better performance by using standalone addons instead of elv or weakauras

amber mountain
#

I couldn't use ElvUI, my brother swore by it for ages because it was "clean"

#

Then I shared my UI that I've built using bartender, Plater, and custom WA and he's sworn off ElvUI 🙂

vestal wren
#

there are other addons that are also very bad in performance, cough raven

hollow river
#

Elv UI is just incredibly customizable

knotty flame
#

It is but it's basically a group of add-ons that already exist

vestal wren
#

the selling point of elvui is that you have a great out of the box experience

amber mountain
limber lion
#

I do also love Assassination.

#

It is my favorite spec after all.

hollow river
#

I did NOT have a great out of the box experience

vestal wren
#

and a suit that covers several elements (action bar, unit frames, other ui elements)

limber lion
#

And I have played Assassination since Cataclysm

hollow river
#

AT ALL

limber lion
#

It is such a fun spec

amber mountain
limber lion
#

Any assa gamers in the chat?

hollow river
#

Nope

vestal wren
#

assassination has better <forbidden word>

hollow river
#

Assassination has better Voldemort’s?

harsh anchor
#

I miss 8.3 exsang

limber lion
#

I do too, buddy

vestal wren
limber lion
#

⚖️

hollow river
#

O.o

thorny pond
#

Like a snake

amber mountain
#

So, wrists for Deathspike in 9.1?

limber lion
#

Who knows.

thorny pond
#

"Will Deathspike scale in 9.1?"

limber lion
#

They're adding new slots to legendaries, so it's not certain

amber mountain
#

I mean, just looking at the current slots etc

vestal wren
#

deathspike is an interesting design

amber mountain
#

Wrist looks like the spot right now, if they don't add more slots to it

hollow river
#

They better make leggos refundable then

limber lion
#

Maybe.

vestal wren
#

because its so bad on st but so good with multiple

limber lion
#

I love Deathspike.

#

Such a fun legendary

hollow river
#

Or I’m sitting at 190 on my doomblade gloves til 9.1

limber lion
#

Actually alters your gameplay in some way

amber mountain
#

I played with it on the PTR, it's bonkers

limber lion
#

Unlike Doomblade.

iron orchid
#

I love it too

knotty flame
#

It's weird to think this tier has gone on so long, and 9.1 is still entirely variable

vestal wren
#

its in my opinion to good esp. on outlaw

iron orchid
#

but I kinda also hate it

hollow river
#

Ryfie was shredding PTR keys the other night

limber lion
#

It is way too good.

tulip nacelle
#

I don't think it will be fun tbh

iron orchid
#

for being strong on outlaw due to the Flurry thing

limber lion
#

The blade flurry on sbs should not be a thing

hollow river
#

But ww still had better overall so we’re not gonna be BROKEN x)

amber mountain
#

I'm worried that the Outlaw + Deathspike dps will get it nerfed

vestal wren
#

but i think there is a point to be made that... well it is quite bad in st so should it be allowed to be op in m+?

amber mountain
floral vale
amber mountain
#

I'll be happy if I can run around with both

vestal wren
#

i can see it being nerfed due to its dominance in m+ on outlaw,
but i mean... its hard to predict without knowing how strong other classes are

hollow river
amber mountain
#

If they nerf it, I hope it's only in relation to outlaw

iron orchid
limber lion
#

I want to play sin in keys

amber mountain
#

me too

iron orchid
odd heath
#

Me too

limber lion
#

But I don't want to spend an eternity looking for a group in lfg. What to do

hollow river
#

I also saw qingxin fire mage do way more overall than jpc on PTR keys

hollow river
#

And jpc was tryhardjng

amber mountain
vestal wren
limber lion
alpine latch
#

I shit on an Outlaw rogue last night in my 14 Spires

amber mountain
limber lion
alpine latch
#

Finished around 1.4k higher than him overall

limber lion
#

Good stuff.

floral vale
#

On denathrius, when the adds spawn in p1 do you want to just immediately hit crimson tempest? Considering they die within 1-2 gcds, do you even get to work fan of knives in there?

amber mountain
hollow river
#

Spires is pretty cleave heavy isn’t it

limber lion
#

Then FOK right after

hollow river
#

Instead of just pure aoe

limber lion
#

Depends on how big boy your tank is

hollow river
#

So sim should be ahead of outlaw in spires correct

vestal wren
#

i am still not sure how well sin is in keys, same goes for subtlety

iron orchid
limber lion
#

And how big/small he wants to go.

iron orchid
#

and do as I did in 9.0

limber lion
#

It's very, very good currently.

vestal wren
#

in 9.1

limber lion
#

Yeh.

#

It's still very good, but gets outshined by Outlaw obviously.

alpine latch
#

I can't imagine it's getting any worse?

vestal wren
#

idk how well specs work with the seasonal affix

limber lion
#

Because of BF Spikes

#

The new Volcanic Plume affix is ridiculous

vestal wren
#

and how big pull sizes are

limber lion
#

I'm sure we will see some tuning in a bit

vestal wren
#

as this could shift the spec choice

limber lion
#

Most likely

hollow river
#

If anything plume gets nerfed

limber lion
#

Hoping to see some sub m+ plays

hollow river
#

Not deathspike

iron orchid
#

I've tested it and it feels good, but we clearly lack some damage if we are to compare to our OL friends

limber lion
#

Yeah, we can't really compare to OL

vestal wren
#

i don't think you will play sub with necrolord

limber lion
#

Def not.

hollow river
#

I’d love to play some sub in 9.1

alpine latch
#

We're technically better on Tyranical weeks though, aren't we?

limber lion
#

Obedience sub all the way

limber lion
alpine latch
#

The issue right now is NO ONE pushes on Tyranical weeks

#

The new system will change that

limber lion
#

We lose quite a bit of ST damage because of our m+ talent choices

vestal wren
#

i am not sure about that

alpine latch
#

True. It's a large difference isn't it

limber lion
#

And we don't play Doomblade in m+ either most of the time

#

All the small things that make Sin a great spec in ST are gone

#

Well, not really honestly

#

But yeh.

#

It's that as giga as you'd think

hollow river
#

I still tend to do top ST dam in keys

vestal wren
#

you probably will play deathspike in m+

limber lion
#

In most dungeons yes

vestal wren
#

doom in raids

limber lion
#

ToP/PF are different, don't see Deathspike there.

amber mountain
#

I do great on Tyrannical weeks. I just set my TotT macro to target the highest DPS and away we go

hollow river
#

Lmao

alpine latch
limber lion
hollow river
#

Toxic

amber mountain
#

lol

hollow river
limber lion
#

Yeah, it depends on domination sockets.

#

Dashing might be better if slots are not changing.

alpine latch
#

Domination sockets may blow it all up. Rogues haven't gotten any additional leggo slots, yet.

limber lion
#

And if we cannot add domination sockets to legendaries

vestal wren
#

domination socket gives 2 ranks in a potency iirc?

amber mountain
#

If the domination sockets are where they are, and our leggos don't get new slots, then Deathspike has to go on wrists

limber lion
#

Those are empowered conduits

#

Domination sockets are the ones in your gear

vestal wren
#

oh okay

limber lion
#

That you put the new raid gems in

amber mountain
#

They're like the "New Coke" of gems

alpine latch
#

They are basically new raid gems that have a set bonus and 3 damage gems, so you want all 5 slots that are available

amber mountain
#

They'll come in, we'll use em lots, then we'll get rid of them and go back to "Coke Classic"

vestal wren
#

oh ye i remember, not sure how strong the set is

limber lion
#

They are very busted and tailored for raids in particular

#

So you definitely need to get them

vestal wren
#

but possible that you want to craft new legendary items for it

amber mountain
#

Right

#

depending on sockets etc

limber lion
#

Cloak is one slot that doesn't have a domination socket, meaning that Dashing Scoundrel on cloak might be the play next patch.

vestal wren
#

ring and cloak is a good slot

limber lion
#

Both gloves and shoulders do have sockets, meaning that Doomblade is rip.

compact pumice
#

We getting a third slot for Doomblade tho, right?

cerulean nest
#

is anythinig Feint-able on sludge?

limber lion
#

A third slot you mean?

#

Who knows.

#

Not necessarily.

compact pumice
#

I meant that yeah

limber lion
#

They only added third slots to some legendaries.

alpine latch
amber mountain
#

Shards of domination leather slots (currently): chest, helmet, shoulders, gloves, boots

limber lion
#

Yup.

amber mountain
#

So Zold on pants is ok, Deathspike on wrists is ok, Dashing on cloak is ok, Doomblade is f'd

#

f'd right in the doomblade

limber lion
#

Pretty much.

amber mountain
#

Or you're dropping a shard...

#

which is as poopy as it sounds

limber lion
#

Most likely don't want to do that.

#

But again, who knows.

#

Everything might change

amber mountain
#

yeah, so much is up in the air

limber lion
#

We might get more slots, we might get the chance to put dom sockets on legedanries

#

Will just have to wait and see.

alpine latch
#

It also depends on whether it's Unique-Equipped per gem or per rank of the gem

#

Right now it's per rank

limber lion
#

Yep

#

You can have each rank on

#

It's kinda dumb

#

lol

alpine latch
#

Even more so because you just have to carry around a ton to upgrade them

tulip nacelle
alpine latch
#

And eff that

limber lion
#

Chest, legs and helm are the best slots.

#

They give the most stats.

compact pumice
#

Damn, I don't look forward to this added system tbh.... It just seems kinda like they had no good ideas.

limber lion
#

I do enjoy it.

stoic needle
alpine latch
#

It's not too bad, honestly.

#

It's a quick way to pick your own set bonus

limber lion
#

I'm excited to see what will happen

alpine latch
#

Since set bonuses won't be in the game until 9.2

stoic needle
#

the system would have been fine if they left the items in their original implementation with multiple slots per item

amber mountain
limber lion
#

I'm ready to dump Doomblade and try out a new legendary

stoic needle
limber lion
#

Bingbong

tulip nacelle
#

so that's a yes

dawn ivy
#

unforch

vestal wren
#

yes

limber lion
#

Finality on chest patnut

dawn ivy
#

the disparity looks awful but im sure numbers wise its not all that bad

vestal wren
#

i haven't looked into the domination sockets to much

limber lion
#

I want a chest legendary for sin.

cerulean nest
stoic needle
#

the stomp is feintable too i think actually

limber lion
#

And so is the little circle that comes around you

cerulean nest
#

does the stomp do dmg if you make it outside?

#

so literally all the abilities are feintable? lol

tulip nacelle
#

no but the circle around you does it's damage at the same time

stoic needle
#

yeah that's what i meant, sorry. the seismic impact

cerulean nest
#

ah okay

stoic needle
#

if you're too close to someone feint can save you otherwise i wouldnt bother

tulip nacelle
#

roar isn't iirc, chain and dot aren't

cerulean nest
#

i mean not like I can dps for that moment

#

might as well

stoic needle
#

well that energy is better used on the boss

floral vale
#

Roar is cloakable though iirc?

stoic needle
#

no

tulip nacelle
#

No it's sonic damage

stoic needle
#

it's sonic damage peepoClown

tulip nacelle
#

like shriek

stoic needle
#

aka fuck rogue damage

tulip nacelle
#

you can cloak 0 mechanics on sludge

floral vale
#

Sonic damage 😭

echo geyser
#

is there any indication of when zoldyck or doomblade will be used in new raid?

#

rn in castle its only used for sire right?

#

zoldyck that is

alpine latch
#

Isn't it used for SKS as well?

floral vale
limber lion
stoic needle
#

zoldyck could see some use on sylvanas

alpine latch
#

Only Mythic SLG though

stoic needle
#

but its still too early to tell

limber lion
#

But no, we don't know much about the new raid yet.

echo geyser
#

yeah i know theres no tuning or w/e

limber lion
#

Zoldyck could be good on Sylvanas as it is most likely the typical end boss

echo geyser
#

but what makes zoldyck good?

limber lion
#

But who knows.

echo geyser
#

is it like high hp = good

ionic kelp
#

kt maybe phylactery phase maybe?

limber lion
#

No.

echo geyser
#

if execute value = good?

limber lion
#

Yes

#

Execute = good

#

There's some bosses that you value execute more than the others

cerulean nest
#

tends to the the tighest window for big deeps

limber lion
#

If there's a hard damage check towards the end, then you want high execute

polar cape
#

Plot twist blood fang is bis for some weird interraction/bug

echo geyser
#

yeah makes sense

limber lion
#

akin to Sire Denathrius, mythic Argus, mythic Nzoth

#

etc.

echo geyser
#

so what is this thing with doomblade getting "fucked" in 9.1?

limber lion
#

With the new domination sockets we might be changing legendaries

#

But nothing is certain yet.

#

Nothing is "fucked" yet.

#

Just wait and see.

alpine latch
#

If you don't want to stockpile Soul Ash, it's infinitely farmable in 9.1

echo geyser
#

theoretically it would be doomblade is a slot where dom socket cant be and then u lose a gem?

alpine latch
#

Feel free to burn through

echo geyser
#

so dom sockets only go on legos?

cerulean nest
#

there are so many currencies in 9.1, i barely know whats going on lol

alpine latch
#

Yeah, you only get like 60% for all clears after the first

#

But you can just infinitely farm SA, not Soul Cinders

floral vale
#

that makes me feel so much better

limber lion
#

They go on specific slots

alpine latch
#

specific slots that only drop in raids

warm parcel
#

raid literally drops special items

alpine latch
#

Yup

echo geyser
#

aha

floral vale
#

I’ve made 7 legendaries already so broke

alpine latch
#

Really? I make about 60k a week

limber lion
#

Same

floral vale
#

Like soul ash broke

alpine latch
#

oh

#

SA broke is a different thing, lol

floral vale
#

😂

echo geyser
#

as of right now assa only rly uses doomblade and zoldyck for raid

floral vale
#

Doom blade is fine on Denny right?

echo geyser
#

is there any others to keep in mind u might need to craft ?

alpine latch
#

I was gonna say - I may 8-10k a week just off of a single characters table missions

floral vale
#

I don’t have zoldyck yet but need to do an assa Denny kill (nor prog)

limber lion
limber lion
#

MA is always a good choice for open world content, torghast, maw etc.

#

Deathspike might be huge in 9.1

bitter canyon
#

Do sin rogues ever go MA legendary?

#

Thought it was pretty bad on sin

limber lion
#

We don't use it in raids, but we do use it in M+ sometimes.

#

And like I said, it's the best legendary for stuff like Torghast, open world content and the Maw.

echo geyser
#

havent even heard of dashing

#

oh damn its the 2nd best for ST

limber lion
#

Haven't heard of it, because it's 2nd best and not best.

#

:p

echo geyser
#

does it have aoe value too?

limber lion
#

Some, but not as much as Zoldyck.

raven vapor
#

should i be maintaining garrote/rupture on all three during p1 of council or just two for regen?

limber lion
#

Both bleeds on 2 targets.

echo geyser
#

i guess the lower the content the worse zoldyck is at least for m+

raven vapor
#

great cheers

limber lion
#

We just start to value burst stuff more.

#

Zoldyck requires a lot of setup to get good value out of.

#

Like if a pack dies in 10s, you can barely get any dots out

echo geyser
#

yeah what would u p lay in like a +10 key?

grim jay
#

outlaw or sub

echo geyser
tulip nacelle
#

probably ma ns mfd ct, would be my guess

grim jay
#

pretty hard to recommend smth as everything will still feel meh

echo geyser
#

its true assa just seems shit for low keys

tulip nacelle
#

yeah I think the mfd ma build has the most burst for such low keys

odd hazel
#

@gusty mirage Blizzard has announced that Global Cross-Region Friends Lists are coming to Battle.net in a June 8th update.

echo geyser
#

soo anyways what situations would make dashing scoundrel worthwhile over the other legos+

#

?

limber lion
#

You get domination sockets on different slots in 9.1. Two of the slots are the slots used by Doomblade, meaning that you would lose a socket by using Doomblade.

#

The cloak does not have a socket, meaning that our 2nd best legendary is probably the better choice because you don't need to sacrifice any of the domination gems by equipping Doomblade.

limber lion
#

Assa is perfectly fine for lower keys if you play that build.

echo geyser
#

ah i see never read the dashing parts

#

ty

limber lion
echo geyser
#

Envenom effect to also increase the Critical Strike chance of your Poisons by 15%, and whenever they deal Critical damage you generate 1 Energy. this applies to targets u dont envenom as well?

limber lion
#

What a tease.

echo geyser
#

just self buff?

limber lion
limber lion
#

Meaning that it affects all poisons around you.

echo geyser
#

cool

we will play together one day with whispyr and oxi and you

Ey

amber mountain
#

Just imagine, some day Blizz will have to make global WoW battle groups...

sinful citrus
#

can sims for the decanter trinket be trusted or should you not assume full value?

#

i remember people saying it misses sometimes like lightless force does

limber lion
#

Decanter does damage in a cone in front of your character

#

So yeah, you probably won't be seeing max value out of it in most cases.

odd hazel
#

i cant wait to replace it with my IQD

sinful citrus
#

ive got my choice between that at 226 and gloves at 226 for when i am running zoldyck i already have a phial at 226 and wasnt sure if i should run double passive trinkets lol

#

worst part of tuesday is the decisions haha

limber lion
#

If you don't have 226 gloves yet, I'd take those tbh

sinful citrus
#

yeah i just went for the gloves seems safer and i already have the phial at 226 and the totem at 220

limber lion
#

Yep, that's good.

alpine latch
#

I just want a phial. IDGAF what level it is

#

My alliance rogue can't get Pox to save his life, my horde rogue has 2 Pox and no Phial

limber lion
#

How many PF's have you done?

alpine latch
#

20ish?

limber lion
#

Not bad.

stoic needle
#

Why are you typing here instead of suffering in plaguefall :P

alpine latch
#

I'm at work

#

I'm not going too hard since I think progression for my guid is done

#

I'd rather just grind it out in 9.1 if we're not progressing

#

I'm planning on pushing KSM as quick as possible to cover any holes in my gear

limber lion
#

Yeah, would suck getting a massive item now only for it to be useless in 2 weeks.

alpine latch
#

yup

#

I'm anticipating 9.1 info at Game Fest this week

#

We'll see, ultimately

wary ice
#

followed by 3 wispers of "hey do u need :3"

limber lion
alpine latch
#

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath... lol

limber lion
#

I used my 220 phial for a long time as well.

#

Swapped to a 226 chain after it dropped

#

But it served me well.

alpine latch
#

Yeah, as a non-CE raider, 220 Phial is one of my best options

limber lion
#

Definitely is.

alpine latch
#

I'm going to try to establish some quality logs in 9.1 and then start applying

limber lion
#

That's a good plan.

#

Do as much as you can in terms of logs and whatnot and then apply.

alpine latch
#

I was in a CE guild back in Legion, but had to quit before the guild got there.

#

I miss playing at a high level. I've been in more casual "get aotc and the free bosses of mythic" type guilds the last few years

limber lion
#

I mean, just apply to a guild and get back to it

#

Just don't aim too high right away.

alpine latch
#

Yeah, my guild right now will probably get 4-5

#

They are recruiting to try to build depth now

limber lion
#

High chance a guild that clears 4-5 bosses in mythic this late to a tier will not get CE on the next.

alpine latch
#

I know

limber lion
#

So if that's what you're aiming to do, then you might have to consider hopping guilds.

alpine latch
#

I'll probably just buy the CE mount and use 9.1 to establish my character since it's still relatively new.

#

I still need to find a m+ team horde side and start pushing.

#

It's shocking how shitty the 10-15 runs are on Horde side

limber lion
limber lion
alpine latch
#

You're EU aren't you?

limber lion
#

Yes.

#

Oh yeh, rip

alpine latch
#

Yeah, won't happen

#

I'm Area 52 (US)

limber lion
#

Yep.

#

With the boys

alpine latch
#

Tons of top guilds here

#

10/10M right now is like 6m and comes with two loot funnels

limber lion
#

Yep.

alpine latch
#

Figure 10/10 + the mount will probably cost around 15

limber lion
#

Yeah, not sure if communities will sell 10/10 + mount

#

Maybe later to the patch

#

But anyways, sin stuff.

scenic root
#

Did totem get changed in the sims? I remember back a few months ago having it and it was simming really poorly, not it's like top 5 trinket

limber lion
#

We did not know that the effect was hasted. The new hasted version was added to the sims and it now sims appropriately.

#

It was undersimming previously.

scenic root
#

Ahh, yeah I think I got fed up with it's performance before I knew any better and sold it, and have since transfered. R.I.P.

limber lion
#

Unlucky.

tulip nacelle
#

(it oversims for outlaw now, just fyi)

limber lion
#

But there's plenty of other good trinkets out there.

scenic root
#

Have Phial and got trolled in vault with 226 ooze and we are progging council and haven't done reclear for skulkers or memory. Maybe I'll get lucky vault

limber lion
#

Don't hold your breath.

scenic root
#

Ooze isn't horrible but very mediocre

limber lion
#

Yep.

#

Trinkets are not the end of the world.

#

You can just farm something like IQD if you want a good 220 trinket.

scenic root
#

Been farming heroic sire, no luck yet.

alpine latch
#

sigh

#

5 necks in my GV today

#

Cool

I’d like to basically do reps of a certain time frame on the dummy, record it and pull out my details log / combat log if possible and review

#

So I can work on rotation etc endlessly

#

And quantify my progress

drowsy coral
#

Right click the top bar of detail (next to the icone)

#

And select dynamic overall dps or something

#

Just search for "dynamic [...]"

Guys regarding sire mythic p3 where orbs gonna spawn at the same time as massacre + push , does cloak soak all dmg from impales hit aswell?

tulip nacelle
#

if by impale you mean massacre then no

#

cloak doesn't work on p3 massacre

limber lion
#

Cloak only works on blood price, the red ground stuff and fatal finesse casts/soaks.

floral vale
#

Cloak doesn’t work on p2 massacre? 😮

tulip nacelle
#

on p2 it does

#

not on p3

Ok cool

Blindside + DS is haste > crit?

yep as necro these stats are very close to each other and one can be ahead of the other so better to sim

for me

as always

Only sith deal in absolutes, osh.

compact pumice

Mastery even winning over crit

spice spire

But that’s more of a gear specific thing. Crit still top 1-2 for most

compact pumice
#

yeah for sure

spice spire
#

But yeah, just sim YEP

Crit is great, usually crit haste on everything is a good bet

Just starting on sire prog. Any tips and tricks I should know about

fair yarrow
#

hi there, on sludge do you recommand to put 2 on use trink ?

soft shale
#

do remember to use one on pull otherwise you're losing a lot of value

fair yarrow
#

yeah sure as well to save shiv for pillar

#

In general simming yourself is the recommended way to determine stat weights.
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simulation.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

unkempt ginkgo
#

EP/vig is better for sire right

#

With DB

soft shale
#

most of sire is cleave so you do more damage as EP/vig/ CT

unkempt ginkgo
#

makes sense

#

with the p3 nerf, probably dont need to use zolds and BS for prog

#

is the feeling im getting

soft shale
#

it depends on guilds some are already killing him almost after the overlap

#

although for prog i would still play zoldyck

shy dust
#

EP seems shit

#

For prog

limber lion
shy dust
#

Given I doubt you’d need P2 damage

#

Blindside is still more damage in the hardest phase of the fight

limber lion
#

Yeh, BS/DS is a great choice.

shy dust
#

If you wanna do more damage sure go ahead

silent tinsel
#

Even when I sim 3 targets at 3~ minutes Deeper wins

shy dust
#

More damage isn’t always better though

silent tinsel
#

mmm, Trading PB is worth it imo because the gain in aoe for 2% st means the rest of the raid can put more damage into sire

limber lion
#

Yes, CT is a good choice.

unkempt ginkgo
#

so BS/DS/CT?

#

with zold

limber lion
#

Are you Necro?

unkempt ginkgo
#

Venthyr

limber lion
#

Okay sec

#

Yeh, BS/DS/CT is great.

unkempt ginkgo
#

Should i use vendetta twice in p1?

limber lion
#

No

#

You shouldn't have any need for it honestly.

#

Just Vendetta once p1, once p2 and twice p2

#

Or twice in p2 if you're assigned on first add/no add

unkempt ginkgo
#

ive been assigned to duskhollow

limber lion
#

Yeh, then use Vend once in P1 and once in P2

unkempt ginkgo
#

same with flag? or just on cd

limber lion
#

Using Vend in P2 (if you're lacking damage) twice is better for timers for P3, but that means less overall damage in P3 and you probably don't want to do that.

limber lion
#

It syncs to some extent because you're holding Vendetta

unkempt ginkgo
#

thanks for the advice

tough trail
#

I need m+ advice

#

what leggy to play? Im playing ma just for some lowkeys atm and im running MA but I feel like its hard to not waste the critbuff while putting up dots

#

other opener?

arctic walrus
#

do u have zold

limber lion
#

Otherwise just stick to the usual Zoldyck build with EP/Subt/Vig/CT

#

With the MA build you would open from stealth with MFD - CT - FoK - Rup - FoK - Rup - Gar

#

Nightstalker snapshots CT, so it's pretty decent burst but it loses to Zoldyck on higher keys because of a worse damage profile and being so inconvenient.

tough trail
#

great answer, will try it out!

#

Im mainly playing outlaw, but while doing some weeklys atm I just felt like trying it out

#

thanks!

limber lion
#

No worries mate!

#

Good luck!

dull cloak
#

If I craft Zoldyk with Crit and Mastery am I gonna regret it

soft shale
#

stats better for m+ but not the greatest for ST

limber lion
#

Stats are stats. It'll be like 10 dps difference at most

just need to do it again, but well, we can use it xD

odd hazel
dawn ivy
#

serious

odd hazel
#

im just gonna assume yes though

dawn ivy
#

it goes on one extra target

odd hazel
#

i mean---- thats not that bad of a nerf.

dawn ivy
#

oh yeah dont panic

#

one target is still nuts, we gotta see if they still allow the dot to be aplied to additional target

#

if it doesnt apply the dot onto the second target thatd be kinda sad honestly

odd hazel
#

it would just be used on outlaw at thatp oint for the extra blade flurry

balmy condor
limber lion
#

Fuck that.

#

I was hoping Doomblade is history

hollow river

doomblade on back 9.1

limber lion

Now we have to create the same legendary on a different slot

warm parcel
limber lion

Exciting.

hollow river

woooot

odd hazel

well

thing is

#

its still possible dashing is better

#

or will it not matter

limber lion
#

Why

odd hazel
#

just being hopeful honestly ¯_(ツ)_/¯

limber lion
#

Dashing was better because we had no slots for DB

#

Now we have a slot

balmy condor

the literal only thing dashing had

#

was the slot

limber lion
#

Exactly

odd hazel
#

was just hoping we used something else some how lmao

I keep holding out for sin venthyr stonks

Oh well.

the goal of the patch is to add a bunch of new stuff that nobody uses because the old stuff is still better

confusing stuff

limber lion
#

I wouldn't be surprised if Zoldyck was better than this iteration of Deathspike

loud niche
#

ofc venthyr is good, but it doesnt scale well with target numbers vs necro FeelsBadMan

limber lion

Why should we be stuck on the same legendary from patch to patch?

Do u out Zuldyck on pants ?

limber lion

Yes

balmy condor

yep

hollow river

tbh i don't even believe deathspike was broken

odd hazel

it wasnt broken

for us

hollow river

pretty stale of them to nerf

balmy condor

it was kinda insane on outlaw

odd hazel

balmy condor

the nerf was for them

so nerf the flurrying aspect

it still flurries?

compact pumice
# limber lion gibe second legendary blozord

I mean, it's not like they can't do it. They wont, but they could if they wanted to. At this point the only reason we don't expect something like legendaries to be fairly balanced is just due to Blizzard's track record and not due to common sense. What's the reason of having a choice if it's not even really a choice?

i h ope so

I mean ash is quite literally meaningless in 91

limber lion

Yeh

warm parcel
#

So I dont really see it as an issue

limber lion

Currently the big problem are the gems

#

That get destroyed when you upgrade ranks

warm parcel

And its quite unblizzlike for them to come out with something like that

limber lion

Like that's some dumb shit

Yeh

you can quote me on this, they are going to fix the shards of domination to not be destroyed

Why do some people run elaborate planning on single target?

I thought it was better for cleave, but some top logs use it on hungering

cause one doesnt bother to swap

balmy condor

that too

#

it's better on sludge cause you can pool more and have EP consistency

but like

hungering?

low girder

for cev the difference is like 4 dps or something

for me personally ep vig is .2 off of highest ST setup

is this... good? thonk

compact pumice
#

So, wonder how many stacks it will be then

dawn ivy
#

i figured 4 stacks

compact pumice
#

Well, that text there says it will improve as the target becomes more injured.

#

So better closer to execute? That's good, unless it's not a big difference.

balmy condor
#

so

#

idk

odd hazel
#

how far behind is zold on ST?

fleet anchor
#

I mean, does it matter if it's good or not? It's the BiS Dagger anyway because of ilevel 😛

balmy condor
#

this far

fleet anchor
#

So it's extra-BiS if the proc is good

odd hazel
#

Curious how far it might push zold if its a good amount of damage

#

but then again it also benefits doom

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dawn ivy
#

it wouldnt effect either

#

???

odd hazel
#

im like

#

half awake so im spewing non sense

i am hyped to see execute daggers/execute gems/blindside/zoldyck just for memes

But I'll be honest

compact pumice
fleet anchor
#

I've read the tooltip like 10 times

And still don't understand how it works without testing it

#

lol

rustic whale
#

Deathspike lego gutted 1 extra target

fleet anchor
#

It's like the worst tooltip ever

warm parcel
#

I read it as about 100 extra dmg per finisher in exe

#

Which sounds bad

low girder
#

yeah i think the stacks are only on the % chance

#

so up to 8% chance per CP

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I mean that's how I would guess but who knows

#

I would assume it's 2% additional chance every 25% HP just guessing

#

But honestly could be anything

#

Also no idea how it works with two daggers

warm parcel
#

servers still down

compact pumice
#

Isn't it Damage Per Combo Point though?

dawn ivy
#

nah i think the stacks affect the damage

#

and the cp affect the %chance

#

Do we keep zoldyck on legs next patch or are we using a new slot

there is no way without insane luck to obtain the dagger anyways

i would definitely hope the effect stacks

they make perfect sense if you're a boomer like me

do u guys just stealth to bosses in torghast or have to get powers ?

u can probably stealth thru and just get the powers at the end of each floor

Necro is currently the better option to go

but venth is better ST

any time an add appears, AT ALL

necro wins

wintry spade

#

i mean yeah, but i wouldnt worry about that. just go necro tbh

wintry spade
#

yea i'm necro

i'm in the minority who find throwing spears fun

thats not a minority

a LOT of peopel are necro

but do they enjoy throwing spears is the question

#

🤔

odd hazel

yes

in that case i yield

odd hazel

ive never seen the bone boys in here

not destroy them selves over SBS

is vanish part of the rotation if u arent running ma?

stoic needle
#

yes

#

the only people i've known who don't like sbs haven't played with it

muted adder
#

what do u use vanish for?

echo geyser
#

if u dont run MA ur probably running subterfuge right

#

so that means u have 3 garrotes u could press that do 80% more dmg ?

odd hazel
#

in what instance?

#

M+? yes

echo geyser
#

hes asking what u use vanish for if u dont use MA

odd hazel
#

on CD basically

muted adder
#

ohh i didn't realize there was a talent called MA, i was referring to the legendary

frail fossil
echo geyser
#

oh ur refering to lego that is very unusual

#

for assa

odd hazel
#

there is a build that uses it

#

and its really good

echo geyser
#

that build uses subterfuge tho right?

odd hazel
#

no

#

NIght stalker

night stalker yeah

echo geyser

is it a st build?

odd hazel
#

no

echo geyser
tulip nacelle
#

ma ns mfd ct

nah just m+ stuff

#

does it sim better than the zoldyck build with subt ?

echo geyser
#

ah thats the low m+ build for burst

#

right

tulip nacelle
#

we talked about it today already, or well yesterday at this point

#

yeah

#

it's probably fine for higher keys as well

#

just def better than zold on low keys

dawn ivy
#

so 4 stacks under 25% dealing 1k+ dam on a 10% chance

drifting cloud
#

rip secondaries

dawn ivy
#

thats mythic

west cove
#

i hope it comes without secondaries xd

odd hazel
#

that

#

seems very underwhelming tbh

nocturne tide
#

seems to be intentional. other weapons with effects in the raid, with the exception of the hunter legendary, have had their secondary stats removed as well

balmy condor
#

yeah the fact that it had stats was an oversight

#

we'll have to see how good the effect is

nocturne tide
#

just gotta hope its budgeted correctly yeah

west cove
#

thank god hopefully its worse than m14 vault drop

balmy condor
#

it definitely won't be

nocturne tide
#

theres a weapon or two with seemingly cosmetic on use effects in there that kept secondaries

balmy condor
#

it's a question of how much better it will be

#

not if it's bis

#

it's going to be bis

west cove
#

yeah

nocturne tide
#

and hunters are keeping theirs either because of its legendary nature or because it introduces an opportunity cost in requiring a gcd

short token
#

guys, super noob question, with bone spike on single target, do we just leave a stack on the target until it falls off? do we reapply early? can we stack multiple spikes?

nocturne tide
#

it does on application damage and generates points so you can fill with it as a low energy builder and/or ranged usable spell as i understand it

balmy condor
short token
#

Ok gemstone is something foreign to me

#

gotta look up what that is

balmy condor
#

the end of the current heirmir tree

#

#

ohhhhh ok

#

i just got that renown earlier today

#

do we just use it on an open CD during gemstone?

balmy condor
#

it replaces what would've been a mutilate

#

omg that's why i noticed sometimes it gives like 4 cp

#

ok that's big

#

thank you

balmy condor
#

np

echo geyser
#

curious to see how it does

balmy condor
#

all my vods are too old

#

damage wise it's like a little worse

#

higher reliance on stealth

#

so it's just downsides

echo geyser
#

also wtf is the opener on st with subterfuge ? i remember it being something like G R G ?

balmy condor
#

only 1 garrote

echo geyser

it would be gar - snd - mut
