It shouldn't be too bad with the new patch
We'll see an influx in players and people doing keys
And you can just push your own key
Tried to PUG a 16 SD (one of the last 3 I need, because of course it is) and we did amazing up until the gauntlet
Well it was leaked almost a month ago the release date, blizzard let word of mouth do the advertisement cause they are lazy
It was never leaked
People were only speculating
There were talks of 29th of July, of 1st of August, of 13th of July
Etc.
Everyone's just speculating.
After speculating 50 different dates, one of them will eventually hit.
Yeah, speculating based on the PTR status, TBCC release date, and just general dates. it was never leaked
Yeah it was, Chinese blizzard employee said July 1st, which is Asian reset day, so us would be 29th
because they did the official preview last week, we were all guessing around mid july, but yeah - i dont think there was a real leak
hopefully u didnt try it this week cause this week is terrible
next week a lot better tho
No, it was Monday night
Well, anyways
i realized how garbage this week was going to be and figured I'd push it
Gaming in 2021 is paying to beta test product and waiting for fixes
ah last week worst fort week imo but u got it dw
Supposedly Chinese blizzard employee leaked the info. Js
Pretty much.
Hows the dealio then, I wanna respec to sin, would you guys recommend I change to venthyr now to get the covenant grind done? Or should i wait it out
Necrolord is the best covenant for Sin.
To be fair, that's basically gaming post 2005
But, you can do that now if you want to.
What covenant are you right now? If you're necro - stay necro @white jetty
sick, nice
if you're kyrian/fae - go necro
necro is best for both raiding/m+?
venthyr gamers raise your hand
Basically go necro for heroic and we will see from there
Currently Necrolord is looking like the better option
But we'll be getting heroic week tuning
which can change everything
Oh, i'm talking gaming in general, not WoW specific. Basically since Digital distribution and Consoles with online became a thing
You need to make this your signature under each message. š
I was actually considering just copy/pasting it.
Canāt do signature on disc? Maybe only from phone
Just put it after your name, like a reddit flair
Necro gives best value imo for heroic week because u will be doing m+ mostly
And u can change after u play the fights
Necro will be the best value overall honestly
Lmfao yes he did it
Yeah
It's just too good.
Venthyr on KT tho
Yeah
Watch š
For the vast majority of us, comfort and understanding of the spec and rotation matters more than the covenant itself
Be useful
Yeah
But be good for prog
I was expecting you to keep at least part of your name Cev
Honestly, just go Necro unless you're ever considering playing Sub
Didn't fit :(
32 characters is max.
I should probably set up my outlaw ui again
Sinner4life
We have finalized numbers for release or not yet?
I did slg for second time last week and I was backup soak
Cev - Everything changes fam
Was risky without outlaw lol
No.
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week.
cheers
After heroic week u will most likely see changes
@limber lion can u explain how doomblade works
Yes.
Prob just aura or legendary tweaks
No.
But still
stab mob, mob bleeds, big deeps, very good
Tab mut
So mutilate every mob in aoe, got it
repeated stabbing suggested
:^)

So as we go i guess venthyr>necro Sin > other specs Doomblade best leggo
Necro > Venth
Venth is only good for pure st, not much of that in 9.1
Venthyr is completely fine if u like the play style imo
But necro will be better overall
Ehhh fuck kyrian
Ye im necro 2 months now but staying for the playstyle and SLG/Dena mainly
Yeah, you should stay Necro in 9.1 as well.
even with new renowns?
How much better is necro than venth for m+ after the bone leggo nerf
We don't have all the numbers yet.
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week.
Still a lot better, Necro was already ahead
What if we use tiny toxic blade and shiv from stealth in 9.1 but there's no sims yet so I don't have enough soul ash to craft it on patch release 
Necro was ahead even without Deathspike
We didn't get any buffs to TTB, so highly doubt it, don't worry :')
it felt like full renown heirmir is better than full renown nadjia but that will take a while but i havent done numbers( for ptr at least)
Getting your renown up there will take 1-2 days
It's not too bad.
it's pretty nice that gemstone doesn't DR
its not gonna be gated?
You can get to 40 without gating currently.
There will be gating in 9.1, that is correct.
im not talking about 40
Sure is.
I think Agnostos means post 40
Man, part of me was hoping for a later release date so I have time to swap covenants and get my garden mounts. Now it's too close for me to do that 
2-3 renown a week.
Nadjia haste is flat value right?
You know... like me... post 40...
Similar to how it worked in 9.1
I mean would i have to progress a week with nadjia and a week with heirmir etc
I'm not actually 100% sure anymore
Been a while since I looked at Thrill Seeker
But I think it does DR, could be wrong
but ill wait for values
Don't quote me on that.
I doubt the difference will be that large
Where the last soulbind is the deciding factor
The covenant design is probably the factor
Necrolord is still better in AoE/Cleave, even without ME
The fact that Sylvanas daggers are crit haste is pretty nice
They're not
They removed the stats.
They have no stats
dang
They only have the unique effect.
They need to buff em to make us want to use it
They are very, very bad currently.
Cheers for the chat that simplifies things i cba with venthyr anyway too boring
Good, Necrolord is bae.
:')
yeap its giga
Venthyr is mega boringh
iām staying venthyr for the first week š
exactly i progressed sub kyrian last tier that was ultra ebola
Necro is way too fun
SBS is so satisfying to press
Venthyr Sub is pretty giga though, so definitely give that a shot if you're staying Venthyr for 9.1
Sure is, applying it to everything and getting 5CP from each cast is 
I think for prog tho assassin is usually the best option when they are equal or close
Definitely.
sin is pretty much always good
Sin has been the go-to raiding spec for a long time
It doesn't suffer from downtime as much
But then again, we're usually very well tuned
If we did 0 damage (like in 9.0), we wouldn't see play
Honesty if they unpruned 2 things were way more viable
Need the numbers, even if the design of the spec is good.
Smoke bomb and tricks dmg increase
We are currently VERY viable
Cev would you go for 200 WPS or 226 SF on Sludge?
bring back echoing blades or riot
We don't need any more buffs.
I mean in terms of raid use
WPS
Hmm, thought so
Fair enough, but our purpose is just to do damage
And we do that well.
Death spike needs buffs
(:
Yeah, especially on that fight it seems like a nobrainer
Would you vanish-> shiv with tiny toxic blade legendary? It should do a lot of damage š¤ not that a single person has ever crafted it or should

):
It hasnāt been that philosophy for 95% of games existence
Sticking to my guns as assassination sin since day 1 has worked out nicely so far lol. Every patch and hotfix makes us stronger!
Itās a new thing for us
Probably. Imagine Nightstalker with that 
Good, same here!
Make TTB viable then weāll talk
Oh god nightstalker shiv smashers 
I kinda wanna make TTB for Torghast
A lot of problems with rogue tho is things like alacrity existing instead of being baseline
It gets rid of other choices we could have
Big negative
Venom Rush and Exsanguinate are both
very VERY bad
Yes
Even if Alacrity didn't exist
that wouldn't change much
We would play Venom Rush
but
it's still bad
But changing those to older talents
play all 3 spec and youre good for every expansion
Ttb is legendary for the true shiv smashers 
With choices for sin and outlaw
Alacrity is too strong for that row, that is correct.
this tbh
its only a problem from the perspective of wanting more viable choices
I bet that guy who only used bleeds would take exanguinate.
Probably.
Exsanguinate is not worth using even if we had 126% haste and our bleeds did twice the damage.
We need something giga-crazy for it to become good
Like Shrouded Suffocation
8.3 
I wish we had SS and EB
I liked SS
Didn't care for EB too much
Didn't enjoy the Fok cp overcap gameplay
fok spam, ignoring all finisher logic
I miss poison bomb doing 30% damage :)
and we're happy boys

y is whispyr mia
how dare he sleep
It's 2PM in NA...
In the only time zone that matters
It's 11 in the good part of na
Itās 11 am in PST, and dude rarely sleeps
Yeh
Cev out here doing gods work, ethically farming 
š

Rogue Defensives usability: http://tiny.cc/q602uz
Is doomblade still expected to be the go-to raid leggo?
Yes, on the cloak slot.
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week.
can't wait to read updated pins
I'm sure Whispyr will do some pins for us when he gets wakes up.
Rogue utility launches on patch day, world first race includes 5 rogues per guild
It'll happen
Re edit the edit
Skip.
now i have to craft db for the third time :/
Ouch.
so how much is my guild going to laugh at me if I stay necro?
0
hope they let us refund legendaries
If they laugh at you, they donāt know rogue
Necro is really good for sin
Highly doubt it
We're getting infinite Soul Ash in 9.1, so I don't think that's happening
Holy shit can we force that down peopleās brains
yea i plan to be Necro but i also play all 3 specs so it seems to be the best
āBut such and such website says rogue NflF BiSā
Nutty even, if I may say so.
:)
Is there a DR on soul ash farming in 9.1?
Cev hard at work this afternoon i see
Yes
Anything for the bleedyboys
It dr's once, but only once
So you get full value from your first run, then the same amount from the runs following it.
@limber lion @limber lion @limber lion
9.2 what legendary do I play? Why do I take blindside? EP seems better! I like how duskwalkers plays can I do that instead and be good????

Okay, I was under the assumption that it gave less with each additional run, so thatās good to hear
@limber lionImagine asking me but not linking the post 
Yep, no worries about that. You can infinitely farm it.
Aight, give me a sec.
Save yourself the trouble and reroll (:
Soul ash is free

Lol free
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week.
-
Necrolord is looking like the current best choice for raiding and m+, even with the nerf to Deathspike.
Venthyr is only slightly ahead in single target and might be the better choice for some niche fights, like mythic Kel'Thuzad. -
Sylvanas dagger is looking really bad for now and needs more tuning.
-
A lot of things are still bugged/missing in the ptr and a lot of things have not been added to simulationcraft. We will add sims when they are ready and you can find them in the pins. It's safe to assume that the sims will not be ready before 9.1 releases, as many things are constantly changing and being tuned.

new pin = nut
Ye, thank moroes for writing it. He is a swell robot butler.
Only thing I'd like to correct Moroes and @limber lion on is that Sylvanas dagger LOOKS badass, but stat-wise it's non-existant. 100% will still farm for transmog
I figure I'll actually get the drop in 14.3
Moroes the best TC 
That is true, the mythic version is a bit underwhelming transmog wise imo :(
not to mention we can loot spec outlaw to get that cool claw too

The fist weapon is sick though.
Guess who is the only person in raid to use fists 
The monk they bring instead of a rogue?

We're not getting it.
9.2 is a good guess, if at all.
I don't think he promised it for 9.1 though
And they didn't honestly confirm smoke bomb either
They were just spitballing ideas
Pulled the old āsoon (tm)ā
Don't remember them mentioning giving us SB for 9.1?
i rather have giga damage than smokebomb
They never said we're getting smoke bomb for 9.1.
Same.
Either way we can't complain too much, imagine loving Arms Warrior
We're honestly in a good spot right now.
We're one of the top melee specs in the game.
I think melee as a whole needs a redesign
Huh
Honestly
How would you redesign melee
ye make them ranged
Since the encounter team likes to make fights where itās obvious to use ranged
pogchamp
Yeah but you don't redesign melee for that
Melee should be balanced higher
im willing to bet a good portion of rogues asking for things like smoke bomb or damage tricks will not press it
You design the fights around melee/range
As a whole
Yeah, that is true
To make a trade off
Melee should be balanced higher in terms of dps
Yes
But redesign is a bit too far.
Well
You know why this happened? Because they removed mana as a resource for ranged
Just put quaking in raids
Like a philosophy design
Well, melee mostly got raid CDs
Ehhh don't think so.
Does any range DPS have raid CDs? Except perhaps innervate
Most of them?
All of them.
The only fight in the last like 10 years where u were like yeah letās bring more melee was Gulādan
Give more mobs with smoke bomb auras?
You rarely bring less melees intentionally honestly
I mean, what does SP bring outside of damage?
You just bring your best players
Embrace?
Except on the top 10 WR guilds
You don't put someone who's a god at rogue
on a mage
if he sucks at it
unless that someone is Fragnance
It might be diff in EU
The best single target damage and execute in the game.
Well in my WR27 guild, I know I'm only playing Sin rogue in the next tier
But that's what I mean, if their damage wasn't insane you wouldn't neccessarily bring them
Warlock got gate, mage got intellect
Like they rarely actually design the fights "melee unfriendly"
Youāre the outlier tho for majority of players
A lot of people were complaining that CN was melee unfriendly
The only melee unfriendly boss
was Sludgefist
There's rarely melee-unfriendly bosses, they are just worse in design wise and in numbers.
Since sludge was the only wall your raid would most likely only use ranged players to get gear for sludge
See how that works?
Yeah, having run CN from LFR up to Heroic I can't speak for Mythic, but Sludgefist was the only one I hated as melee
Only wall?


Well dps wall
Different kind
SLG wasnāt really a dps wall
It wasn't
I mean, on Sire melee has the overlap to deal with for example, ranged has it easier
But that is barely something
Walls are uniform structures... SLG is more of a... i dunno... hedge maze
He did right as I typed my own message yeah
Didn't specify it earlier
But yeh
I liked that
Ranged usually has stuff better than melee
That's just by the design of range and melee in MMORPG's
It's not because a fight is more melee-unfriendly or melee-friendly.
Ranged suppose to be throttled by movement
Yeah, if they can't stand still, their dps drops... hence bring quaking and volcanic to raids š
M+ raids when 
That said, if we gimp ranged dps, the scrubs in my raids will be even more useless and I'll never get progress with these people
Designing a fight by handicapping ranged is very bad design.
I like them, but I seriously have to call out individuals for every mechanic.
If I had to guess the comp for RWF: Tanks: Brewmaster+Blood Melee: Fury W, 2x Unholy, Havoc, Sin rogue RDPS: 2x Warlock 2x Boomkin 1x Hunter 1x Mage 1x Shadow Healers: Hpal, disc, 2x rshammy
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week. 
Pure ST probably yes
X, move towards star...
W... STACK STACK STACK... no... don't run away... STACK
Read the pins
lalalala
I made the pins for you, you just need to read them.

mea culpa
No worries monte, it's all good.
ehh... third covenant here we go
I doubt anyone has said that they're all good choices. :')
ive been venth, then kyrian, then venth again
All the cool kids hate Kyrian.
now necrolololo
It takes 1-2 days to get your renown to 31+
It's not too bad.
I want to be Night Fae but the ability sucks 
Renown is pretty easy to grind yeah
Still wish they make it easier to switch but oh well
Just do raids first on all difficulties (lfr, normal, heroic) then do the callings, then wb, then the campaign then the weeklies.
It's honestly very easy to switch.
Renown is easy to grind, but two resets to swap back to an old covenant is a bummer.
Takes 2 days.
But that would promote really, really bad gameplay honestly
I'm glad there is a time-gate for htat.
what does this means in the pin notes ? "on non-lashing sims"
Imagine going Venthyr for 1 boss
Why?
Then switching to Necro
To be clear, you can't complete the second leg to swap back and then start the first leg the same reset, right? It should take four resets to swap back and forth, not three?
for 2 bosses
Then switching back to Venth
for 1 st boss
then back to necro
You get the point
The sims are not updated for 9.1.
I went venthyr for sire
It doesn't feel easy when you are floating around 25
Non-lashing sims means sims not using the Lashing Scars conduit.
It doesn't sound as bad as having different covenants for M+, PvP and Raid
For many classes and specs
You just do the campaign and get renown for every single chapter
Checking callings for a chance to gain 1 level
that sounds FUN
blizzard does not like fun
havent seen anything about new raid, is necrolord the way to go?
You shouldn't do the campaign before you're like 23 or something.
Sorry I meant different BiS covenants
wait that sounds ideal
Yeah, and awful.
It's extremely offspec unfriendly
Sure thing, but that wouldn't work.
And conduit energy is just a face punch
If we could change covenants with a touch of a button, that would be good.
honestly never changed a condie in my life
Like we can do with a soulbind.
Conduit Energy is very bad, agreed.
Pointless even.
That's what I meant, why not let us switch freely?
Imo we need respect fees again
I mean
Def not.
You said why, but I think it'S a good tradeoff instead of losing access to your best covenant for e.g. PvP
Yeah, I agree. That would be good, if it was made really simple and where you could do it anywhere
But not something that you have to do a quest for every time
And visit the sanctum
Just a window that you can switch with tomes
For a lore standpoint, I also don't really get why we have to commit to a covenant? They aren't in conflict with each other. The whole thing is that they need to work together. So why do I need to do dungeons to "prove my worth" after my "betrayal" because I wanted to help out my skeleton bros?
And can't just play the best thing for every situation.

All the quest dialogue in the quests to swap back is just...bizarre.
Maybe in 9.2 all the covenants will work together and forge a bond so we can swap as much as we'd like.
Maybe that's just whisful thinking.
Well, I don't think so
That'd certainly be nice.
They removed the ability to change gear/talents in m+ because they wanted to force choice on you.
And because they are very heavy on the lore-thing
Well, conduit energy is 100% that tho, they think that newer players will feel forced tos witch finesse and defensives for every dungeon boss etc
Imo
I see no other reason
I want to play WoW partially for the lore because the world is really pretty and cool, but man they make it hard lol
Yeah, I think the lore is pretty interesting and it's very well put together
But there are quite a few inconsistencies here and there.
Is assa looking to be the most probable top spec for 9.1 raiding ?
They start interesting stories, but they lean on the same couple plot devices way too much and there seem to be a lot of inconsistencies, yeah.
This statement is like an oxymoron
Plus, I think the lore "breaks" pretty often for gameplay reasons in ways that make it hard to stay immersed.
They'll make cov abilities swappable in 10.0
Yep and they do the "this person is evil for 2 expansions then suddenly turns into an angel when you face them in a raid"
Transmog is the answer
but for m+ it works as that's a 30 minute compromise, covenants are a bigger headache
But anyways, any assassination boys in the chat

Yes. Also, the "this good guy you like has been mind controlled and is evil now" is an insanely lazy way to create emotional resonance with a fight, and my god have they done that a lot.
Yep and planning to do that in 9.2 as well apparently.

arthas redeemed?
Especially since it's so predictable every time.
You just dread the silly inevitable fight.
I'm actually really excited for 9.1 now.
I was actually quite bummed out by the sudden announcement, but it's growing on me now.
Glad to get some new content, finally get to raid seriously in a long time.
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week. 
Hourly reminder.
yeah same hella excited my interest level plummets immediately after prog
im big prog gamer i love that shit
Me too man, me too.
Will you stream sanctum of domination progress Cev?
Quite possibly, yes.
I need to sort the streaming setup out before prog starts.
Elite assa gameplay 
Forced to make a choice based on what Sims best for the largest pool of content you personally do. Instead of choosing the aesthetic you like:)))))
I mean, you can honestly choose any covenant you want. No one is forcing you to play a covenant that is superior on the dps meters.
I got just a little taste of it and really want more in 9.1, but I gotta explore the guild recruitment life now.
If you want to play a covenant that has cool transmogs, cool mounts and a cool setting, then all the power to ya!
You can that doesn't mean the general populace at this point will
Definitely not.
Remember to buy your cloaks for 9.1 boys.
The price might skyrocket when the patch drops.
Oh snap, good call.
It's looking like the play and currently they are very cheap
Probably a pretty safe investment
ohh true#
But who knows what Blizzard comes up in 3 weeks

What if I buy up the market and resell them when 9.1 drops.
whoa.. they actually announced the release date..
Yep
Like.. I can stop pretending to like FFXIV...
I was actually considering starting to play FFXIV
But I guess there's no need to anymore.
w8 new legy gonna be on cloak ?
Would have to buy a cloak for r5/6 anyway which are going to be expensive
Doomblade on Cloak, yes.
Need the Domination Gem Slot on Hands (probably)
good point
Pretty sure you don't actually make a new item for r5/r6 and you just upgrade the existing cloak with Soul Cinders.
At least currently (afaik) there are no rank 5 and rank 6 base items.
Oh really? That sounds nice
Let me do some research, maybe they've added some after the fact.
I'm planning to farm Soul Ash but not build the lego yet because I remember hearing some talk that Dashing Scoundrel might be better?
dooblamde going on cloack right ?
Yes.
and zoldick ?
š
Itās useful for M+ 
Zoldyck for m+
Deathspike might pull ahead, not 100% sure yet.
Sorry I giggle at pp jokes
We'll have to wait and see.
Legs
not when it costs you your raid spot in a mythic guild. If you want to progress, you need to sacrifice personal choices. the same way that you don't meme with unpopular covenants for the world first race
Exactly, but not everyone does mythic progression.
The majority never step into a mythic raid.
so we will have to craft cloack doomblade?
Yes.
cost same soul ash?
what does justify the cloak doomblade ?
@balmy condor do me a favor, copy the entire text in the freshes pin, do the post yourself, then add what cev is going to dm you in two secs
Domination Gem slots @weary marten
damn i didn't read anything about this
Sounds like thereās some catch up to do 
Domination sockets, higher ilvl pieces are also a thing to note.
Anything is subject to change, we will get more tuning closer to the patch and during heroic week.
-
Necrolord is looking like the current best choice for raiding and m+, even with the nerf to Deathspike. Venthyr is only slightly ahead in single target.
-
Sylvanas dagger will be BiS. Just how bis, we don't quite know. We for example don't know if a heroic sylv dagger is better than a mythic non-sylv dagger
-
A lot of things are still bugged/missing in the ptr and a lot of things have not been added to simulationcraft. We will add sims when they are ready and you can find them in the pins. It's safe to assume that the sims will not be ready before 9.1 releases, as many things are constantly changing and being tuned.
-
Doomblade is looking to be the best legendary for raiding in 9.1. Craft it on a cloak. (LEGENDARIES ARE GETTING EXTRA SLOTS TO CRAFT ON IN 9.1 THIS IS ONE OF THEM) Dashing might also be good, will have to wait on sims.
-
Zoldyck is the choice for m+. Deathspike nerf makes it not worth
does the "socket" part means if you change the piece you lose you socket ? that's why it matters on cloak ? so you don't have to apply a new one for the all patch
No, we only get domination sockets on 5 item slots
So we're forced to use those items that drop from the raid
We cannot add domination sockets on legendaries (at least not yet)
is assasination doing more dmg in m+? is outlaw better because of utility?
And gloves get a domination socket ? so they aren't wished to be Doomblade lego anymore ?
How nice of them to make the sylvanas dagger bad.
It looks dope though.
They do pretty similar damage (in 9.0.5) but Outlaw shines in utility, like you said. It just performs quite a bit better on most dungeons and is more versatile.
Agreed it does look pretty nice
Outlaw is getting a bit of a bump in 9.1 with the new Deathspike legendary though, so it's very likely that we'll see Outlaw as the dominating 9.1 m+ spec.
thanks
Correct!
Np
damn i only have 8500 soul ashes
need to craft SBS lego and dunno about another one
I mean, you'll have 9.5k next week and then around 12k+ after that when 9.1 drops
You can craft any 2 legendaries to rank 4 right away when the patch drops
Huge pins š
The Soul Cinders are time-gated, so no rank 6's for us
you cant craft doomblade on a cloak right?
yet
Not until 9.1
no way i just made mine and they gonna change it
Deathspike got nerfed so it's bad for outlaw now
Not yet, they're adding a new socket in 9.1
I doubt it's bad lol.
Can farm ash infinitely in 9.1 so itās kind of just whatever 
ok ok thanks
New currency is the problem
I wonder how strong the new gems are
for real ? 
i haven't craft a finality x)
Yes but thereās a new currency for beyond 4 that will be the problem in crafting
That is gated
Catchup r4s are not
Yeah, you can get all rank 4's the first day of 9.1 if you so desire
that's good to know
Don't recommend it though.
if you are nuts š
at least having a step ahead doesn't mean farming non stop on patch day
But yeah, if we get an outlier legendary/slot, then it's easy to fix it
They're new slots on gear that drops from the raid. You can socket some gems to get cool powers.
Using 3 of a kind will give you extra powers in the raid.
New thing with 9.1. Currently a mess so once theyāre a bit stabilized sims will reflect their HUGE DAM
The gems themselves work outside of raid as well.
But they are very janky currently, so anything can happen.
you guys think there are any bosses you would go outlaw in 9.1?
Definitely! That's why I have 11k stored up as well
Just in case.
Venthyr Sub for some if you're a gamer
But Sin is a safe bet on every single raid boss.
ā
Blizzard
sub is for the koreans š
It's for the ST pumpers.
Sub is pog
Quick question: Is the Necro legendary the way to go now?
i only HC and i have such bad players in my raid that i could play outlaw with an aoe optimization and one hand bind behind my back that i could still top the meter x)
In what content?
In m+?
In raid?
Raid
No.
Hey we just pinned that info!
We use Doomblade on cloak in the raid.
Zoldyck likely in m+, but we'll have to wait for sims.
And by we I mean whispyr 
On cloak? Hmm...I've had it on hands
Same, but we have to recraft it in 9.1
(At least according to current info that we have)
that's cuz Cloak isn't available yet
would make sense but its blizzard
Yep.
its a 9.1.5 feature for sure D:
Unbeatable duo 
deathspike on which slot will it go?
Likely wrists because of dom sockets.
tyty
omfg if its sub tier 𤤠š„
Probably still a sin tier.
Sorry omr.

good i am a boomer I cant play sub

btw wouldnt you want to craft Zoldyck on Feet because kel drops legs?
Sub is a lot fun especially as Venthyr in 9.1
No midmax this tier š¦
No, because of Dom sockets
The dom sockets will very likely result in a bigger dps increase than a higher item level.

ahhh yeah, so you are just out of luck š . Yeah overlooked that ^^
But we'll have to wait and see how they play out.
You can dom my socket whenever you want
@limber lion


Can you dom mine oxi? 
Iām just waiting around for the smarter people to tell me how to play
Me too

The smarter people do the hard work and I just echo their voice.
where we see gear wiht dom socket ? cant find it
Big daddy @balmy condor about to be spittin the fax, just gotta wait for it
Back to the basement 
tnx tnx š
I got a local SimC build Iāll sim for you supreme leader 
i feel this in my bones and soul
Local simc 
Good luck waiting for a few hours!
wait does this mean dom sockets gonna go live where the gem get destroyed š
Imagine having a potato that canāt sim like a BEAST
Unfortunately it's looking like it
like that'll help
pray for ion to fix it before launch 


ion is on vacation after killing slg
Why you gotta do me like that?
@balmy condor
You're better off working as his servant and bringing him food/drinks whilst he does the big boy stuff

Idk if Koji will let me in his basement
Nah Koji has no use for me. Iām about as useless as a bible in a brothel
Wait we need to craft doomblade again but on cloak ? 
A handsome, wonderful, highly likable person, who can sort you out if you get into legal trouble? I don't see why not. 
Yes sir.
stop it
Guess i have to run torghast again 
Gotta run Torghast regardless because of the new currency and new ranks.
You'll get Soul Ash from running those anyways.
You can run some prior to 9.1 to stack up Soul Ash and insta-craft the legendary on the new slot when 9.1 drops
But I would honestly refrain from recrafting it instantly
And waiting for heroic balancing/tuning to happen first.
That's my plan. I'm farming a little just because I feel like I'll need it, but not crafting anything.
im gonna preorder my legendaries like i did for tier 1
Alright that sounds like a good plan ty 

get founders edition
i dunno about you guys, but im excited about grinding soulash to craft maw rattle
lol dont have it already?
Maw Rattle?
We can just use our mounts in 9.1 anyways
YES THE š WAS RED TODAY!!!!!!

God itās been so long
Yep, your boyo's have been hard at work
How's kyrian looking for sin in 9.1?
š
Bad.
But, again
We don't have simc implementations of all of the new soulbind traits
So those can potentially spice some things up
Maybe.
Perhaps.
Maybe not.
Kyrian is surprisingly good on recent outlaw sims and fuu mentioned kyrian being good for sub st.
So was wondering how behind kyrian is vs other covenants for sin
Fae Blink with Necro Deathspike would be complete bliss for me
Then again, Fleshcraft be saving lives in keys
Yeah, the soulbind trait implementations might change some things.
We'll just have to wait and see.
But it's unlikely that it'll pull ahead Necro.
Oh yeah, but if it's not far
Same, I never use Fleshcraft though

Then kyrian might be a great tri-spec covenant
I need to get better at it.
I just use the 4 other options I have at hand 
Thatās true. We rogues are selfish lovers. Nice mechanic? Be a shame if I cloaked it 
so what slightly ahead when it comes to necro vs venthyr?
we talking less than a percent or
Venthyr is like 100 ish dps ahead of Necro in single target, but Necro doubles that number in 2 targets.
And even more in 3+ and so on.
But, we're still waiting for 9.1 sims
the new soulbind traits might spice things up.
Just gotta be patient. 
ya i guess ill just stay venthyr for now
It's a safe choice
You can do the quests to swap to Necrolord prior to the patch, just don't return the quest.
well its new char so itll be easy to swap
Ah okay, fair enough.
main swap life
Hey guys, I'm planning to swap to rogue as my new main in 9.1. Is venthyr still the go to and did legos change?
pins
We default to Necrolord nowadays.
Oh? that's an interesting take
It's been the default choice for months.
Venthyr is only better in pure single target and those are pretty rare.
I mean, Necro has been the better choice for months now.

Guess i'll get started on the necro campaign then.
Make sure to get your renown up first before doing the campaign.
I'm basically fresh 60, so i have like 3 or 4 renown
Do the raid on all difficulties and the world boss.
And only then do the covenant campaign and weeklies.
Campaign and weeklies are guaranteed renown drops and because the frequency that you get renown gets lower the higher you go, you need to farm the renown from the sources that it's not guaranteed from first.
Yeah, keep an eye on the covenant display to watch when it shows that you ahve to progress the story to get more renown, that's the only time you should really push the campaign if you're looking to blast through as fast as possible
Some people get stuck on like 29 renown because they did the campaign too early and get super unlucky with renown drops after that.
I dont really like outlaw, but I was just thinking about how the new necro leggo will go with outlaw in M+ and my god it is going to be filty
once everything else is exhausted, hit those campaign items every week
It's honestly not too great apparently.
really? Im kind of shocked
oh what nerf? I am dumb
It used to shoot 3 bonespikes
it was good, for like a week right? 
Now it only shoots 2.
ohhhh
Yep, something like that.
if its fun, it gets ruijned
wont get play on any spec now will it?
It was busted because every charge flurried
we arent lavender or blue class, we can't have nice things
welcome to Activison š
Maybe on sin, but not 100% sure yet.
We'll have to wait for sims.
Patience, little one.
there still needs to be tuning on the unholy gem set bonus
We still need tuning on a lot of things.
The unique weapons, dom sockets/gems and much more
yeah
theres no shot in hell they will allow the effect to have a higher uptime than actually gaining stacks for it.....
I'm considering trying to update our wowanalyzer profiles
Give back a little
Make it closer to being a quality chekc
that sounds like a man about to enter a labyrinth of pain
It's not hard. It's just time consuming
I'm a web developer. It's just finding the time to actually contribute
Ye, a lot of stuff needs tuning, tuning that will probably never happen.
Have fun breaking your domination gems when ranking them up

the gems dont break anymore though
Not a bad idea
there's a chisel you buy for 10g from a vendor
that allows you to just pop them out
^
^

for all I know the chisel will break the item 
Okay good shit
Deletes the item lol
You can also buy a "crappier" version of a dom socket item if you're just unlucky af and don't get one from raid
For what currency?
10g
I knew you were going to ask that...
So can't you just
just another gold sink for bobby koticks pockets
I don't know if it's Cinders or Knowledge
Probably not
I mean yeah
Unless you don't upgrade your leggo?
nono chisel was gold idno what the gems are
you still need the dom items
Well, you need the gems that only drop in raid
also socket your items now
It's just the socketable item that you can get outside of raid (at a lower item level)
cause socket gone from venari in 2 weeks
Yeh, get it done boys.
You buy sockets from the new chick
Yeh, after you hit exalted
So
in like a month
Grind more bruh
Tier is over in a month
well if youve got new lego now or sth
just so you wont get cucked come patch
Is it true the hunter bow is a leggo slot 
Doomblade cloak 
My tier really gets started by time yours is done, lol
@thorny pond legendary quality, not a shadowlands unique equip
Ok but will I be able to solo Legion content
Where is our smoke bomb 
I assume we're still going haste/grit on Doomblade cloak
Soonā¢ļø
Smoked it
Only Outlaw wants grit because of the whole Pirate/Cowboy motif.
Yes, sir.
Ask that question again in a year.
ok ima need a tldr necro strat and cheese for council huntsman sire slg

Don't overcap cp
Use rupture/garrote/ct on everything
Donezo.

Yes
Making sure to use them if you're about to cap
So if you're at 2 charges and you notice one add about to die
