  1. As a fellow Feral player, take my condolences.
  2. Good speed on Sin, I am changing for next tier and it's honestly quite similar just feels better.

Does fan of knives replace mutilate on two target cleave?

FoK can be used to spread poisons on 3, but we never use it on 2 targets.

is this haste enough ?

shrewd night
#

You could, yaknow, sim yourself to figure out the optimal stat setup from your collected gear smilers

mighty hazel
#

i will get crital strike or haste eat thats why i ask lol

shrewd night
#

Eat?

limber lion
#

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.

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

limber lion
#

This will sim all food/potion/oil/stone combinations.

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

hazy crater
#

Just get lucky

spice spire
#

True

#

Never thought of that one

#

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

limber lion
limber lion
#

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

scenic root
#

Meaning I should slam IQD during lust and not bother syncing with the vendetta that's will come up after the lust phase

limber lion
#

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

scenic root
#

We got to 8% pull at 9:35 so close :/

limber lion
#

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

scenic root
#

Hate this fight so much.

limber lion
#

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

scenic root
#

But if I preform better than that's better chance of a kill?

willow eagle
#

Sometimes performing better means getting a lower parse

limber lion
#

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

willow eagle
#

If a raid leader tells you to stop dps, it hurts your parse but you do the job

limber lion
#

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.

spice spire
#

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?

alpine latch
#

I'd rather have CE

cobalt pelican
#

5/10 with 100s tbh ez choice

spice spire
#

Toxic

#

I respect it, but disagree bearJAM

alpine latch
#

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

real solar
#

parsing on prog while getting CE is fun though :^)

cobalt pelican
#

plenty of people get carried to ce with 5% parses

pale fossil
spice spire
#

Knew you were on sire for a bit, if so congrats!

frigid kestrel
#

Shit we are still on SLG, that’s gonna be a big RIP for CE for us

shy dust
#

I don’t think getting a 20% parse means you got carried to CE

frigid kestrel
#

At least we will see Sire, but we won’t be killing that sum bitch

frigid kestrel
#

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

real solar
#

Sun King doesn’t even contribute to all stars so it’s irrelevant

Ehh

#

I disagree

loud trench
#

You cannot cloak of shadows massacre on sire right

cobalt pelican
#

20% is a very low bar lol

strange python
#

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

limber lion
#

Even with dogshit cooldowns and slowpushing a 20% is very very low

strange python
#

Its really late into the tier

granite thistle
#

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.

#

How much haste/crit you guys rougly have aPES_Think

pale fossil
#

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

cobalt pelican

yeah, pretty much

unless you're

#

Opener > gemstone windows > cap > don’t touch it otherwise

strange python
#

Noob question incoming what a gemstone window

spice spire
strange python
#

Oh

#

Didn’t know that’s what that was called

#

Ty

spice spire
#

Any time, bless up papi prayge

strange python
#

What’s the reasoning for using it during the gemstone window

spice spire
#

GIGA damage

polar cape
#

To crit <.<

limber lion
#

SBS benefits from Seal Fate, so crits = more combo points = more damage

spice spire
#

It’s cheap way to earn CP and it deals a lot of damage

limber lion
#

The base damage is quite high as well

frigid kestrel
#

SBS Crits Hurt, they cost little to no energy (15 to be exact) and gives fast combo points

strange python
#

So the only reason you aren’t just slamming your SBS are to put them in that window yeah?

spice spire
#

Pretty much

strange python
#

Puzzle is connecting bois

#

Ty

spice spire
#

That and to not overcap, but you never should

frigid kestrel
#

Outside of Gem you just use it to dot an undotted target, or if your about to cap

strange python
#

So if I’m playing the defensive bind, feel free to generate on st with them?

spice spire
#

Just don’t play the defensive bind. Even emeni means you should stagger them for the agil buff

strange python
#

Got it. Thanks!

frigid kestrel
#

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?

spice spire
#

I’m almost positive there.
The initial quad garrote seems more difficult to pull off without vigor ngl

frigid kestrel
#

Idk, just spit balling

#

Like I legit am just throwing darts at a wall here

limber lion
#

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

spice spire
#

I think there’s no harm in trying things out. Sometimes things are lost in a sim - you can kind of science things out

limber lion
#

DS just feels awful to play

frigid kestrel
#

Ye it just seems or feels like you don’t even need vigor

limber lion
#

Buuuuuut

#

Each to their own

frigid kestrel
#

So DS is like free damage

spice spire
#

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

frigid kestrel
#

True that

limber lion
#

MfD is technically better but it's a lot of work for little reward

spice spire
#

I feel like a zoomer saying that but like. I tried on sks and just couldn’t

#

What sim type do you guys use for M+

limber lion
#

The 1 extra combo point is a big deal.

strange python
#

would it be Dungeon slice?

limber lion
#

Would also recommend simming something like 8 target targetdummy

#

40s

strange python
#

ok cool sweet

frigid kestrel
#

@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.

limber lion
#

Just to get an idea on how it compares to DSlice

limber lion
#

Just sim yourself in Dslice :)

I wasn’t asking him to do it
I wasn’t asking if he’s already done it

anyone know if its possible for me to upgrade from a 225 piece straight to the new 9.1 ranks without upgrading to 235

spice spire
#

Unsure; however, soul ash is still used for r4. And soul ash will literally be infinite

scenic meteor
#

in 9.1?

#

because of 80% increase

spice spire
#

Because soul ash floors will be repeatable and still drop (albeit less) soul ash

scenic meteor
#

ah nice

limber lion
#

Who knows how anything works

scenic meteor
#

i just dont want to spend all my gold on a 235 piece if in 9.1 i can skip it

limber lion
#

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

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

And if that's wrong, expect me to be corrected ASAP

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.

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...

with mutilate hitting twice, doesnt just 1 need to crit to get 3 combo points (losing that 1)?

plain thistle
#

basically each mutilate can: can crit once = 3 combo point, or twice = 4

vast forum
#

if you have 25% crit chance

solar trail
#

25% crit is mut = 2.5 combo points on average then correct?

vast forum
#

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

balmy condor
#

2 base, 25% for 1 (0.25), 25% for the other 1 (0.25), 2.5

vast forum
#

but it's weighted because of the double crits which are an overcap anyway

solar trail
#

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)

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

@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.

You can socket a legendary, right?

limber lion
#

Did raid testing as well on HC/Mythic

balmy condor
alpine latch
#

Will upgrading remove the socket?

limber lion
#

No.

balmy condor
#

No

alpine latch
#

IE, is it worth grinding out for rank 5/6?

#

To make sure they are socketed

limber lion
#

We don't know if you can add a dom socket yet though

alpine latch
#

Yeah, but the sockets from Venari only work for 9.0 gear

limber lion
#

That's true

alpine latch
#

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

drowsy parcel
#

arent 9.1 sockets farmable in torghast or something

#

or am i mixing it up with something else

scenic root
#

they have small chance to drop in the secret area of torghast if you get a 5 star run or something like that

void pecan
#

Oh yeah, they're changing snoreghast again

#

so it has ranks..

drowsy parcel
#

just farm it 4Head

limber lion
#

You can get the item to socket the items, but you need to be exalted to use em

alpine latch
#

Sorry man. I don't know why but I just thought about it.

drowsy parcel
#

right

#

whats the timeline on that if you minmax

alpine latch
#

It may mean that if you don't get a socket now, you can't get it moving forward.. Which would honestly suck ass

limber lion
#

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

alpine latch
#

I know it's not an astronomical difference missing a single socket, but it would still possibly suck

limber lion
#

Blizzard do some weird janky stuff sometimes

limber lion

Should I campaign first then do all the other shit/

for maximum renoun farm

limber lion
#

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.

how much haste should be fine for SIN?

@limber lion should know the answer to that

The age old question.

drowsy parcel
limber lion
#

I wonder where, oh where, we could find answers to that question.

#

Oh look, what is that?

alpine latch
#

Interesting. Eternal Skirmish is simming better for me than Stats. Is that a trap?

limber lion
limber lion
balmy condor
alpine latch
#

Interesting.

#

It's not much, just a few DPS

#

But upgrades are upgrades

limber lion
#

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

alpine latch
#

yeah, eff that. I'm not swapping every raid night, lol

limber lion
#

Yeh, me neither. Minmaxing dps for m+ is just not needed whatsoever.

alpine latch
#

Agreed. We had multiple 60k wipes this week

#

Everyone picking up an extra 5-10 DPS for "free" would have gotten us the kill

limber lion
#

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

weary loom
limber lion
#

But you should sim it.

frigid kestrel

Where was all this action when i was bored getting a Oil change?

limber lion
dawn ivy
#

i got helm/cloak/boots last night from raid and dropped a % of haste, now im only at 29%

limber lion
#

I'm at around 21% haste or something.

#

It'll probably jump a bit when (if) I get the Sire ring.

dawn ivy
#

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%

limber lion
#

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.

dawn ivy
#

maybe playing rogue from beginning of this next tier ill have a larger pool of potential gear to mix and match

limber lion
#

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.

frigid kestrel
#

DR the living shit out of Haste/Crit and full Gem Mast feelskek

limber swallow
#

maybe there's enough haste where DS won't feel slow

limber lion
#

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.

limber swallow
#

yea, I guess I could see that, even w/high crit, you're going to use 2

Yep.

energy pooling

balmy condor

we don't care about envenoms in shiv window

is whatever

but I see

No, just CT. Other bleeds should be maintained for energy regen

balmy condor

its always better to reapply rupture in shiv than to let it drop
