we dont know
what's variable how would we know
how strong the sockets are, zoldycks might get a 3rd craft slot in todays ptr
theres high ilvl pants from KT
- As a fellow Feral player, take my condolences.
- Good speed on Sin, I am changing for next tier and it's honestly quite similar just feels better.
You will miss the Higher movespeed though :P
simply never loot boomie weapon
Does fan of knives replace mutilate on two target cleave?
No, we only use FoK on 4+ targets.
FoK can be used to spread poisons on 3, but we never use it on 2 targets.
is this haste enough ?
You could, yaknow, sim yourself to figure out the optimal stat setup from your collected gear 
i will get crital strike or haste eat thats why i ask lol
Eat?
There are no haste breakpoints or anything
You just need to sim yourself
Don't think we can make it any more obvious and bigger.
Caps lock and bold seems to be the limit on Discord, unfortunately
food
You can. Yaknow. Sim that shit too.
what is yaknow
lmao
!oil
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
This will sim all food/potion/oil/stone combinations.
Bruh.

thats why i ask haste or crital but i just get crital now
You could just sim it
Oh ffs.
.
I dont have any emojis to match my emotions right now.
still didnt understand lol
this sums it up for me
so you saying put 1 oil to weapon and other sharpening stone ?
and drink phantom fire boss fight
Dont know about you, but im having carbonara today
Here you go
Okay, let me walk you through it.
Ok Jigglypuff got it, just follow that guide.
i dont even know what this sim for i dont care what my top gear im still looting i just care consumables lol
just buy feasts for yourself
its so expensive and when you die its gone
so you just bought the cheapest ones or, regardless what it gives
Oh no.
😄
Safe bet is to just use feasts or crit food, it doesn't really matter that much.
top players drinking this ones in youtube m runs
Oh no.
top players eat wheaties for breakfast
xD


ass is ass

Brave of you to say in an ass channel 

I'll stick with my bagel this morning tyvm. Even parsing isn't worth cereal
For everyone playing in NA, may the Vault rngesus be good to you!

Good luck boyos.
Ty papa Cev. Best of luck in your dagger hunt in the next 24 
HUGE gamer 
now get a towel to wipe off all that sweat
Only got one box, but anything is possible. 
Pray for the 233 
Still looking for a > 213 dagger here, one time 
233 from raid or PvP?
You and me both, that or I need to get my M+ group to stop being afraid of 15s
15s are ez with big dam. That being said last week and this week are less than ideal
You need a new group if they are scared of doing a key level 😅
puggin on tyrannical weeks 
Praying for Cev to get a 233 from raid
I’m just looking to get a 226 myself

3 shots 
Who knows.
Numbers are not finalized yet.
You not a big pvp guy?
Hoping still deathspike
PvP 
But yeh, would love nothing more than a 9.1 announcement and a dagger from the vault 
Make my tomorrow morning Blizzard
Yeah it’s pretty toxic but a great way to get gear if you don’t mind selling your soul for a few weeks
Eh, I’m 224 at this point with a 220 and 213 dagger it’s just unlucky
That's unlucky.
I'm 218. I haven't seen a single pair of shoulders drop, ever, so I put Doomblade on shoulders. When I run Zoldyck's I have a 197 pair of shoulders
Just get lucky
I'm trying to not push hardcore and farm it because I'll have to farm in 9.1 anyway.
Question on vendetta timings. Doing council. Because of the dance(happens at 4mins for us) my 3rd vendetta cast gets delayed 30/45 secs, then we lust at around 6mins. So either I hold vendetta for 1:30, or get it 30/45 secs after lust ends. Should I hold it or just use my IQD+shiv in lust and get an extra vendetta
You need to make that choice yourself. The important thing is to not lose casts, even if it means not getting a Vendetta inside of a lust window.
Well best of luck!
Meaning that I would honestly just slam the Vendetta and not get it inside of the lust
Instead of losing a cast because you want to sync it with Lust.
Holding for 1:30 is very rarely worth it for overall damage.
It's fine on Sire where you are forced to hold dps in p1 anyways
Meaning I should slam IQD during lust and not bother syncing with the vendetta that's will come up after the lust phase
Yes
You'll get one more cast of IQD + Vend sync towards the end likely
If not then that's fine as well, meaning that you won't lose casts.
It's quite minor minmaxing honestly
We got to 8% pull at 9:35 so close :/
Putting bleeds up on several waiters to funnel more into the boss will yield more damage than worrying about minmaxing vend/iqd windows.
Just press it on cooldown (as long as you get the full 20s value) and yoy're gucci
Same with the IQD
Hate this fight so much.
Same. It gets better with practice, but it's never fun.
Well you shouldn't really look at wipe parses
They don't mean anything.
Especially on prog
Just kill the boss
Who cares if it's a 99 or a 4
As long as the boss is dead
You'll get more loot in the future and come back, kill it faster and more cleanly
And parse better
But if I preform better than that's better chance of a kill?
Sometimes performing better means getting a lower parse
Sure if, but highly unlikely that you doing 5.8k dps vs 5.4k dps will make a difference in the end.
Doing your part and playing the fight right is the important thing
Killing attendants will yield lower overall dps
But will help you kill the boss
If a raid leader tells you to stop dps, it hurts your parse but you do the job
Like holding dps is so garbage, but if it helps to kill the boss, why wouldn't you?
Don't put too much weight on progression parses my guy.
乃ㄩㄒ 乃尺ㄖㄒ卄乇尺 爪ㄚ 卩卂尺丂乇
In all seriousness, yeah. Prog parses will never matter lmao
Would you rather be 5/10 with 100s or CE?
I'd rather have CE
5/10 with 100s tbh ez choice
I don't want 100% parses. I want room to improve while still playing at a high level
It's not like you're getting carried to CE with 20% parses
parsing on prog while getting CE is fun though :^)
plenty of people get carried to ce with 5% parses
Did you down? 👀
Knew you were on sire for a bit, if so congrats!
Shit we are still on SLG, that’s gonna be a big RIP for CE for us
I don’t think getting a 20% parse means you got carried to CE
At least we will see Sire, but we won’t be killing that sum bitch
Def doesn’t
Shit we had a lock get a 99 parse on out Sun Kong kill, and it legit held us back in prog because he never bursted on the shield or boss. He just went ham and blew all his CD’s in adds the entire fight.
Like, tanks had more boss damage then he did
Parses don’t mean shit when your progging, just ducking kill the shit so we can get CE and then have fun parse runs for the parsers
Sun King doesn’t even contribute to all stars so it’s irrelevant
week 4 in a row where my vault has an slg trinket
honestly thats a group issue
T_T
Unlucky
Yup! We got him last week. 15% parse but we take those lol
NICE 
Pins don't look updated yet and I assume they will be before patch hits, but is necro the assumed meta? Aka: should I start leveling up necro?
yes
Guys. Big Jinky needs help OwO
die
Oh my
Some classes can't realistically get above that at this point on some bosses depending on strat and timings (slowpush slg with assigned cooldown)
You cannot cloak of shadows massacre on sire right
20% is a very low bar lol
A warlock who has to hold dgl and isn't seeding won't parse above 40 on sire, and that's assuming everything else goes right
Even with dogshit cooldowns and slowpushing a 20% is very very low
Its really late into the tier
Does Necrolord Assassination give a shit about secondaries? Like, do I need more haste over crit or vice versa? Or is it a "Sim Yo Self" kinda thing still.
Not in p3
You can in P2 only
Not in p3
Weird
Fuck
Haste generally, but yes, simnyourself
Huge
I've done zero raid testing so far...how cleavey is 9.1 raid looking
(aka, can I get away without an outlaw set)

yesSIR
How much haste/crit you guys rougly have 
I mean, I pulled a 15% parse and wouldn't say I got carried (no bias ofc), but I also am under no illusion that I wasn't make a ton of mistakes. We had to stop DPS in both P1 and P2 and my CD timings were pretty bad for my overall damage, just helped in the context of the raid.
But also, who cares. As long as you didn't buy it, you still earned your CE haha
What does it matter?
status
Looks like a certain Outlaw rogue.
owie
I have 21% crit and 22% haste, for what it's worth, but you should be simming upgrades not aiming for a breakdown.
I have 28% crit 24% haste
Just to have a rough view of stats %
Compare mine to others 
They don't matter, buuuuuut 22% haste and 30% crit personally
Went from no phial to the best... Hells yeah!
Seems like im around the same
Rip luck for next tier
HUGE BOY GAMER GRATS 
49% MASTERY LEGGOOO
I dont mind it for m+
Where’s oshosi?
But for raids my parses could be better
It effects CT right?
226 shadowgrasp totem to go with my IQD is the only real upgrade in the vault today
It effects more then CT
Obviously
Not small upgrade 
Still running 213 daggers 😕
Just waiting for my 233 boys
Now that everyone in the guild has weapons, maybe its my turn
I’m with you. 224 ilvl btw 
Well 213 off hand haha
220 ilvl myself
I refuse to upgrade my current shoulders with valor until i get the ones from DOS
any reason high rio sin rogues are running mastery?
CT/Cleave
Mastery bad for ST. Not horrible for cleave
Mastery is the Chad stat
Mast > Haste and Vers for M+ due to the way it affects Poisons and Bleeds. Once you hit around %30ish Crit you can start stacking Mastery.
Although you can pretty much run anything and still get similar results.
Okay quick question: on st I only use bone spike for the bleed application and not again after that right?
In gemstone windows
You also use it during gemstone windows for thicc damage. You also don’t want to cap
You use it there
Opener > gemstone windows > cap > don’t touch it otherwise
cool thanks for the info
Noob question incoming what a gemstone window
Any time, bless up papi 
What’s the reasoning for using it during the gemstone window
GIGA damage
To crit <.<
SBS benefits from Seal Fate, so crits = more combo points = more damage
It’s cheap way to earn CP and it deals a lot of damage
The base damage is quite high as well
SBS Crits Hurt, they cost little to no energy (15 to be exact) and gives fast combo points
So the only reason you aren’t just slamming your SBS are to put them in that window yeah?
Ye
Pretty much
That and to not overcap, but you never should
Outside of Gem you just use it to dot an undotted target, or if your about to cap
So if I’m playing the defensive bind, feel free to generate on st with them?
Just don’t play the defensive bind. Even emeni means you should stagger them for the agil buff
Got it. Thanks!
Gonna go home and sim DS for M+ just because. I’m stupid and just don’t understand why vigor is the play when we don’t seem to have an resource issues. To me, it just seems like DS would be free damage.
Or is the reason we don’t have resource issue is because of Vigor?
I’m almost positive there.
The initial quad garrote seems more difficult to pull off without vigor ngl
Ye makes sense, but what about a triple and SBS ?
Idk, just spit balling
Like I legit am just throwing darts at a wall here
At max energy you don't starve during the first 3 garrotes even with ds/mfd
The 4th one might be slightly delayed but not by much
I think there’s no harm in trying things out. Sometimes things are lost in a sim - you can kind of science things out
DS just feels awful to play
Ye it just seems or feels like you don’t even need vigor
So DS is like free damage
Hypothesize run x dungeons and see how it looks, and if it seems successful, keep trying and after a bit of trying, you might find that it does work better
DS feels so fucking Uber slow
True that
MfD is technically better but it's a lot of work for little reward
I feel like a zoomer saying that but like. I tried on sks and just couldn’t
Eww I don’t think I’ll ever play MFD
Ye I think I’ll test it out I’m a bunch of low 15 pug keys or something. DS does feel slow, but I’m assuming that once you get your bleeds going it won’t feel any different
Worst case? You’re wrong and you learned. Best case? New meta 
Yeah, well not in terms of energy but you're still forced to use a lot more generators to build CP which results in fewer finishers abd ultimately makes it feel slower
What sim type do you guys use for M+
The 1 extra combo point is a big deal.
would it be Dungeon slice?
Dungeon Slice is perfectly fine for rogues.
Would also recommend simming something like 8 target targetdummy
40s
ok cool sweet
@balmy condor have you done/seen/heard and testing on DS > Vigor in M+? Before I waste my time even testing I want to make sure it’s not…. You know a waste.
Just to get an idea on how it compares to DSlice
Of course and you can too.
Just sim yourself in Dslice :)
I am once I get home, just wanted to get a expert sim guys input
I wasn’t asking him to do it
I wasn’t asking if he’s already done it
I hate running Deeper Strategem in m+ I just cant stand the energy slow
Sitting here being a nerd while I wait for this oil change to get done.
30ish APM in aoe/cleave 
I hate when I'm rushing sims and then realize 4 minutes later I forgot a setting
should I make zoldyck or upgrade doomblade to max
210
yea im raiding but im learning sin so
will most likely keep raiding as outlaw for a bit
until I am comfortable enough
Soul Ash is infinitely farmable in 9.1
So "saving" SA is just about saving an hour of your life farming Torghast more than anything else
hey guys, is there any information on the effect of stacking the new sylvannas daggers "Edge of Night"? does it work at all?
if u can craft an entirely diff legendary now vs gaining like 30 dps for upgrading DB from 210->235 its probably worth it gameplay wise imo
what the fuck
all those council and inerva piece
I passed on
is music sheet really that good
I dont think I will ever run it
im pretty sure its practically pretty bad it just sims well
yeah macabre sucks
yea but I didnt know I would play sin ever
so I just passed them and rolled them out
it's better than having a 226 m+ trinket as the only upgrade
true
Sounds good to me rofl
What's the general consensus on 9.1 with covenants? Are they still really close or is there a go-to one? Currently play a lot of Outlaw for M+ with Necro but assuming I'll be playing a lot more sin in 9.1
Unlucky
probably necro
Sweet, that's pretty convenient then haha 😄
Yeah so far necro looking fine
Wasn't there a spreadsheet for what rogues can do or cant do on sire mechanics?
yeah
!def
Rogue Defensives usability: http://tiny.cc/q602uz
:)
Looking like it, yes
anyone know if its possible for me to upgrade from a 225 piece straight to the new 9.1 ranks without upgrading to 235
Unsure; however, soul ash is still used for r4. And soul ash will literally be infinite
Because soul ash floors will be repeatable and still drop (albeit less) soul ash
ah nice
Who knows how anything works
i just dont want to spend all my gold on a 235 piece if in 9.1 i can skip it
But 9.1 could be a month away
Or 2
Or a week
If you don't wanna risk it, don't
It's not a mega giga upgrade
It's like 20 dps
🙂 thanks
Could really use a salvage dust thingy to recraft lego i dunno <.>
i have doomblade 235 and zoldycks at 225
rank3 andy 
That would make too much sense.
ptr update probably gives us more information
so far we havent seen a release candidate
Does the MA talent buff increase crit chance for trinkets?
no
how would you play M sludge as sin?
do you hold cds
for first pillar
and do they allign well
On Mythic, you want to Vendetta early on pull so it's up for 2nd and 4th pillars, because on Mythic you generally Lust on 4th pillar.
Mythic is pull - 2 - 4.
You can do your first shiv, hold second shiv for every pillar
for first pillar you can do 2 shivs: pull > shiv > shiv > shiv-pillar > shiv > shiv-pillar > ...
I actually didn’t know on pull you could do three total (including pillar) :0
but yeah, vendetta/trinket/flaggelation on pull, 2nd and 4th pillar

You actually use 2 Shiv's in the beginning, but 1-1-1-1-1 after that
Cev farming messages again 
nononono can't farm message answering things that are already answered
Somebody stop this mad lad 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfl8fgF7HLM
for context incase yall not seen it
any1 know when pandemic for rupture starts
like exact timer
wanna put a glow on my wa
30% of the new ruptures duration
what is this i couldnt find lol
vantus rune
i can only select 1 boss all week ?
Yes
you can
No you can use both
ahh okey then nice
vantus lock when you kill the boss with vantus if I remember correctly
should i select sire ? lol
Are you fighting sire?
i will do 10/10 today for week
Heroic or mythic? Heroic, shouldn't need to use vantus rune. Mythic probably best to pick your teams hardest fight.
heroic
Well if xuey just does heroic this week, then yeah sire probably
when i see sire i will click him and then click vantus ?
yea basically
okey
Yes, you target before fight and it's a cast
okey thx for help
At what % haste do you look to do into DS instead of Vigor?
legendary and covenant choice can impact it too
ah also for raid both weapons shadowcore oil ?
!oil
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
Generally sin uses stones and agi pots everywhere because they are more consistent.
i see
peoples mostly using crimson tempest but im in heroic so it wont change anything if i keep poison bomb ?
Depends on the fight 🤔
My understanding is - ST is Doomblade and Poison Bomb, 2+ targets is CT, 4+ targets is Zoldycks
And if that's wrong, expect me to be corrected ASAP
3+ for Zoldycks.
But that's for sustained 3t and we don't have that in CN
In Heroic it's safe to play Doomblade on every single boss
There's no need to swap.
Not really. CT is quite a bit better on some fights (Huntsman, SLG, Sire, SKS) but it's not essential.
See? Corrected right away. lol But close
Best way to get correct information on the internet is making a false statement 🙂
I just ask Cev cuz he’s a smartie pants 
🧠 👖
brainjeans
That’s true 
What is Cev isn't even the right Ceverion
And he's just making it all up as he goes along and hoping he's right
And since he's Cev, no one questions what he says





Is 809 haste too much. It sims highest for my given gear, but god damn that much seems like a meme
Never too much.
hey guys is bonesmith the bis soulbind for AOE too?
@idle shard Sim it. I think Emeni sims better for some people in Dungeon Slice.
Bonesmith is indeed the best soulbind for assassination
Because we all Stan gemstones
^Truuu
Scaling 

Between my 7 rings, 3 pants and I could slap on this. But it doesnt sim higher, to have more :v)
I'm no longer 0 mastery gang
Why do you not "consider seal fate procs for generate/finish decision making"? With over 25% crit, mutilate generates 3 combo points more often then not... in which case shouldnt you be using finisher (over mut) on max-2?
Wasted energy on finishers vs wasted combo points I guess
but it doesn't generate 3 more often than not...
both mutilates need to crit once for you to lose 1 combo point
its not better
The new affix mobs change every week o:
with mutilate hitting twice, doesnt just 1 need to crit to get 3 combo points (losing that 1)?
each hand crit independently
basically each mutilate can: can crit once = 3 combo point, or twice = 4
if you have 25% crit chance
25% crit is mut = 2.5 combo points on average then correct?
you have 6.25% chance to get 4 CP, 37.5% chance to get 3cp and 56.25% chance to get 2 CP
yes, it averages at 2.5
yes
2 base, 25% for 1 (0.25), 25% for the other 1 (0.25), 2.5
but it's weighted because of the double crits which are an overcap anyway
oh i gotcha. not thinking about compounding probability. once you get to a 50% chance of 3cp, would you stop using mut at max-2?
or i should say, when the chance of getting 2cp is less than 50% (which would be roughly 30% crit)
Big upgrade this week.
220 OH 
9 more hours until vault :'(

I got a 226 flayedwing toxin
I took the stygia
Almost 225 now 
big daddy quake 
220 weapons GIGA
makes sense, flayedwing kinda sucks donkey balls and the dps increase from the higher ilvl wep dps + stats
Stygia. How much I need an offhand weapon
Guys, I hear people talking about having other covenants "ready" in case they wanna swap to them later, how do you do that? Like after getting renown to your active covenant to 40 how do you get it for others?
🤔
you swap covenant and level it
Don't get other covenants ready unless you have literally nothing else to do
Renown is stupid easy to catch up on now, and it'll be even easier in 9.1
Oh i see, well that solves it then, thanks for the input guys 
I was hoping to see something cool in the patch notes so we could see more activity in here.
But guess not.

🤞
I'd take questions about pinned stuff over a wasteland any day. 
what leggo is best?
is 23% mastery too low for slg?


Trying to unethically farm posts in discord 
Someone stop him 
Nah it's just sad to close the chat and open it 4 hours later
and not a single new message has been posted.
Okay, that's a bit too exaggerated.
i could @ you each hour on the hour for the next 12 hrs of my shift if you want
Probably feels like 4 hours when I open the chat 20 times an hour.
:D it's okay.
multispec 
Would you guys recommend losing 16 slot item levels to use zoldyck over doomblade on SLG?
Well, you would have to sim it honestly.
If shiv is coming up in 7.3 seconds and I have 37% mastery and am playing tiny toxic prepull with dashing and pelagos, but the pelagos orbs will spawn in 8 seconds, give the fact that I can grab an orb every 1.3 seconds, should I kill myself
But ehhhhhh maybe not.


is tricks good in the patch?
Imma need you to hop off the TL chief 
Ya'll were right.
I can give logs to review if you are that bored
Hit me.
Do you mutilate the bears though?
Watch a video guide or something idk
I'm sure those are great and up to date.
Now that’s toxic 
how much haste do I need to run DS???
I DMd you them
34% TO RUN DEEZ NUTS
GOT EM
@limber lion how many bleeds do I put up when I aoe the things in single target prio damage?
Big logs?
Almost 300 pulls, but got 8% this week. So something I guess
How many times have you been asked that whisp?
76
smh you should probably read the pins bruh
we have assa cf's working hard to write out pins
I get…. A lot of stupid questions
!rougememes
You just answered one GET FARMED
Aren't pins what you use to write on paper
@limber lion https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/6kcpFdYyaqmR7Mr9#fight=51&type=damage-done on a scale of 1-10 how much of a scum am i here
more council logs 🙃
you're at least a 4 for the upside down smiley face
Not enough.
:(
First thing I see, top damage for CT on waiters 
Gotta beat the boomie for maximum scum.
229 ilvl
what the fuck
I'm going to tweet @Warcraft and if they don't give you a 233 weapon I'm going to sue them @limber lion
Yeh Luna is one of the few with like a bis setup, excluding Phial


In 8 hours, fo sho
ew got flayedwing in vault
Same 
You reclearing again this week Cev?
Yeh, probably only doing 4 bosses though
you mean you got stygia in vault 
Only getting 1 choice at the vault again 
Also third flayedwing gamer 
But you’re killing sire again 
other option is verse/crit boots but i have the boe crit/haste
Oh no, I'm scared of getting Flayedwing
Y’all have choices in your vault?
@limber lion how much mastery is the breakpoint? 
I chose a heroic sire weapon 
thats how i feel doing mythic prog for 2 months now
Is that an option?
yeah I had stygia or 70g
Am I trolling if I dont switch to necro? Especially if I do m+ as outlaw + raid as sin?
:(
what about haste?
You probably, definitely, maybe should switch to Necro.
Perhaps.
When you say you raid.. Are you in an AotC guild? Mythic prog guild? CE?
Casual mythic
If you're in a guild that gets AotC and just does a bit of Mythic, your choice means literally nothing
You're not getting benched for not being the right stuff
On a dead alliance cluster

but if you’re necro you can shoot boners at people 
bonerspikers 
Shit Cev.. I'm sooo close to 6400 sims 😦
Soon!
Yeah, you should try simming gems.
Just input the secret launch codes
if you went mechagnome you could get it
I'm venth currently, from nf, now the plague is calling me..
That's the usual patch Ganandor.
Venthyr m+ YIKES
I went NF - Venth - Necro - Venth - Necro
I don't PUSH but casual 18s like you
Well. Shit.
Good thing the renown only takes like 1-2 days, so it's not too bad.
Sudden fractures 🥜
Is that with all content + campaign?
Yeah, if I could swap for free, I'd definitely use my down time to get them all up .. But no point if I lose DPS when we're still raiding.
Felt like it took me eons to get 40 when I went to venth
@limber lion Have you done much on the PTR? Because I have what may be a genius idea or one of the dumber things you've heard.
boots simmed .5% higher for outlaw, we take those gains
You can socket a legendary, right?
I've done some, we like to keep up to date on new things.
Did raid testing as well on HC/Mythic
Yeh
Will upgrading remove the socket?
No.
No
We don't know if you can add a dom socket yet though
Yeah, but the sockets from Venari only work for 9.0 gear
That's true
Which means you can't socket a rank 5/6 legendary, only rank 1-4
So if that's the case, it's in our best interest to make sure they are all have sockets before 9.1
Raid leader of our aotc guild left, I just want to slam shiv on cd in sanctum of domination but this doesn't look good 
That's a good point honestly. I might have to grind out some stygia in preparation for 9.1
damn it.
assuming you can put 9.1 socket stuff on r1-4 legos
arent 9.1 sockets farmable in torghast or something
or am i mixing it up with something else
they have small chance to drop in the secret area of torghast if you get a 5 star run or something like that
just farm it 
Yes, but you still need to get your Korthia reputation up before you can use them.
You can get the item to socket the items, but you need to be exalted to use em

Sorry man. I don't know why but I just thought about it.
It may mean that if you don't get a socket now, you can't get it moving forward.. Which would honestly suck ass
I doubt that's the case. Ven'ari and the Maw will probably stay the same
And the legendary will probably be counted as a non-seasonal item
meaning that you can still socket it in 9.1
But who knows
I know it's not an astronomical difference missing a single socket, but it would still possibly suck
Blizzard do some weird janky stuff sometimes
whats the best legendary for pve and pvp?
Definitely.
Doomblade for raids, Zoldyck for M+, ask #pvp about pvp. But probably Doomblade/MA for PvP.
It's done. I am a boner spike lad.
Welcome. You've made the right choice.

No, you do campaign and the weekly quests last.
You unlock your soulbind, then you do LFR-Normal-Heroic
After that you do World Boss
Then the campaign
Then the weeklies.
That'll get you to around 31+ renown, which is the requirement for Heirmir's Gemstone.
Okie
how much haste should be fine for SIN?
@limber lion should know the answer to that
Ah the old classic.
How much haste do we really need?
The age old question.

I wonder where, oh where, we could find answers to that question.
Oh look, what is that?

Interesting. Eternal Skirmish is simming better for me than Stats. Is that a trap?
No, it's been simming quite a bit higher for me for a long time as well.
Not really, it’s better single target
I don't really care about swapping enchants, so I just run Sinful + Cele on weapons and Skirmish on chest.
Some people swap Lightless Force and Eternal Stats for m+ but eh, it's not really necessary
yeah, eff that. I'm not swapping every raid night, lol
Yeh, me neither. Minmaxing dps for m+ is just not needed whatsoever.
Agreed. We had multiple 60k wipes this week
Everyone picking up an extra 5-10 DPS for "free" would have gotten us the kill
Or having 0.01% more uptime on the boss.
Or pressing one more ability before doing a mechanic
Or actually using skills whilst dealing with a mechanic.
I have a friend who literally stops everything that he's doing when he gets a mechanic that he has to deal with
Like he only does DPS if there's nothing else going on
i do have 13% rofl ( olaw stats )
You might probably want a bit more, but it's not honestly the end of the world either way.
But you should sim it.
Where was all this action when i was bored getting a Oil change?
I know right. I was mindlessly opening up Discord like 10-20 times an hour to check to see if something was going on, but there was barely any action.
i got helm/cloak/boots last night from raid and dropped a % of haste, now im only at 29%
I'm at around 21% haste or something.
It'll probably jump a bit when (if) I get the Sire ring.
being above the DR when i already knew i had too much haste was so akward
and sims pushing me for more haste every item i got was so weird
my crit is still so cringe, only 20%
Yeah, my stats were so good when I was Venthyr
My crit and haste were basically equal, except I had 3 crit rating more than haste.
Just to get IQD to proc crit during lust.
maybe playing rogue from beginning of this next tier ill have a larger pool of potential gear to mix and match
I think the new raid items are crit/haste heavy
So that's pretty sick I guess.
Can't wait to DR both by only getting raid pieces.
DR the living shit out of Haste/Crit and full Gem Mast 
maybe there's enough haste where DS won't feel slow
DS will by design feel slow
We use a lot less finishers because we have to build more
Even in 3T where you have infinite energy and you're at energy saturation, you'll feel sluggish because you have to use 2-3 mutilates every time.
yea, I guess I could see that, even w/high crit, you're going to use 2
Guide to Simming yourself: https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights
For more accurate results you should always sim yourself using Top Gear for gear you already have in your bags
or Droptimizer to see which content drops the biggest upgrade for you. Do not use Stat Weights sims to evaluate gear.


can someone take a look at my first mythic kill as assa?

I think I did opener okay
I'm going to bed now, but if no one checks them out you can just dm me and I'll look at em tomorrow.
But surely someone is willing to give it a peek :')
I assume sbs on Prepull? This is a much better opener either way 
Other than that, 0 missed CP, 8 whole energy wasted, and no missed CD casts? Looks good without looking at the minuscule things
yes
idk why it doesnt show
I sbs at 1 second when people are throwing their shit
then why only 50 parse

dont
sbs is super fast, you will pull before the timer
I have the vod
well, if your guild pull at 1 then ok 
!oils
!oil
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
ty 🙂
np
did i miss the secret memo
blizz fix the pot swaping cheese
cant pre-pot with theo and switch to nadja anymore
it removes the pot
wasn't a written hotfix
figures
whisp
ye
may you look at my log
when i open from stealth i usually mutilate slice and dice mutilate right?
what if i get a ambush proc
do i ambush instead of the 2nd mutilate?
yes
maybe later
👍
should i swap covenants guys from, venthyr to necro ?
If you wanna
It’s better for outlaw
Venthyr is looking better for sub in 9.1
Both are fine for assa
i think stat wise what seems to be the best?
really searching throudh reddit seeing many types of comments
so i thought i;d stop by and ask here
pretty sure that necro assa is the play here, with alot of multi target encounters in the next tier
what settings do i choose to sim covenant? on top gear that is?>
there's an entire section underneath your gear for it
a video?
its literally right there 🙂
Theotar potion cheese hotfixed on live? :(
last week, yes
Does Maim, Mangle sim better than the shiv one for you?
I just put it in because it sounded good
actually inting
I will sim it after
rip
wait
rip 
XD
smh
I had no clue
that's like 5th best LMFAO
oh rip
And you are moving too early in the aoe thingy
yea ig just more uptime
you hide for like 0.5 secs, you are hiding for 3 secs
yea I had 0 clue tbh
also you can dps the boss while he is at the middle idk if you did that
until he pushes you out
rota is ok imo, cp is ok, bleeding uptime is ok
I almost dropped a rupture once
bc I greeded for another env during shiv
should I always go for 3 env during shiv?
if so should I pool energy before doing it?
iirc @balmy condor said it was a small dps increase
okay
energy pooling
we don't care about envenoms in shiv window
and trying to overwrite env buff in pandemic was also a small dps gain
if you get 0 that's fine
fr?
ur fucking with me lol
dont you do more dmg with the env when they are in the shiv window?
the only condition for shiv is that rupture is currently ticking on the target
oh okay
I thought it was bad to reapply dots in shiv window bc you want more env
but I see
No, just CT. Other bleeds should be maintained for energy regen
its always better to reapply rupture in shiv than to let it drop
ye
is also always better to reapply ct in 2 target than to let it drop
zoldyc is about 100 dps in p3 sire over doomblade right?
weird question but does mind numbing poison affects bosses?
a guy in a raid told me to use it
I think it does, but it doesnt stack with the WL debuff. But dont quote me tho.
interesting
it stacks
it works on the attack speed, and it stacks
Yeah it does.
It actually helps a ton on Sire, not sure if it's impactful on other bosses.
@balmy condor Wanna look at logs for me?
❤️
hey! returning player here! with 9.1 changes and gear, is it safe to buy my lego now? or should i wait? not planning on doing high end content until 9.1
doing a twisted corridor
should wait
ok, thanks!
so whats with this tricks of the trade in 9.1
pvp change
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear
through Top Gear.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
Does Doomblade leggo benefit from SBS and/or CT bleeds?
i just got the SLG shoulders, but my Doomblade is on the shoulders rn. do you guys think its worth recrafting the hand version, or just wait till 9.1 to consider remaking anything
Hey we're progging through M sire, I've been trying to shadowstep to someone on the platforms for p2 but it doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or it just d oesn't work?
do you have the step conduit
yes, yes
wait
i've heard of one person that says they jump off the edge and step to the add. but it takes some getting comfortable with.
1 outside of shiv window

One love, one heart
Let's join together and a-feel all right
One love (full of mercy)
One heart (I tell you)


And yea for the first general on sire you should just dot remornia/sire till u got a lock gate, the second one just sbs or shuriken toss at him 
U can definitely shadowstep to them but gotta be really close to the edge
Or jump if u don't have the conduit
I always jump and throw a SBS mid air, I like to live in danger
for the second add ofc
Master of apm
not that stupid

you actually dont even need to jump, you can sbs if you get a little closer
