dusk basalt

maybe i should do that now

modern heart
north basin
#

why recraft btw? chances we get things in first month on shoulder/hands slots not that big. for 90% of population

indigo mulch
#

From what i've heard atleast. You can only have 3 of the sockets activated outside of the maw / sanctum of domination right?

#

I'm not 100% sure about that one though.

modern heart
#

there are 5? domination sockets, only the "base"gems work, the passive you get from equipping 3 of the same only work in maw related places

indigo mulch
#

Head, shoulders chest legs and boots is where we get the gems from i believe.

north basin
#

i think no reason to rush recraft, only if u have domination drops on leg slot

ember jay
modern heart
#

idk where this is from, got linked in my guild discord yesterday

#

i wonder what "shaman"means

indigo mulch
#

There we go.

void vessel
#

hi what covenant is good for assa venth or necro

warm parcel
#

hunters have a cloak from slyv

#

shamans dont

void vessel
#

or waht is the best pick for covenant

limber lion
north basin
#

btw why blizz didnt fix texture flikering bugs in open world with rtx nvidia cards and dx12? its been half year of addon..

vestal wren
#

i don't think that there is a big enough userbase of rtx

quasi grotto
#

so finally tryingf to get zoldy from torghast

#

completed the correct in sub but wiht loot spec to sin

#

it didnt drop ?

tulip nacelle
#

lootspec doesn't matter

#

was it a layer 3+?

quasi grotto
#

yeah was on l8

tulip nacelle
#

then no reason it shouldn't drop if it was the right wing and you dont have it already

velvet escarp
#

did u finish the questline first? Friend of mine tried on his druid and the leggo didn't drop from the correct wing, even at L8. He had to finish some questline first

#

lemme try and find it

quasi grotto
#

hmmmm i havent completed the twisting corridors but surely hthats not a wall

tulip nacelle
#

you need to unlock the runecarver yea

quasi grotto
#

yeah ive got him

tulip nacelle
#

you don't need anything in tc

gaunt flame
#

hey guys, which covernent will be superiour for raiding as an assasination rogue?

#

necro?

#

9.1

quasi grotto
#

im stumped

velvet escarp
tulip nacelle
quasi grotto
#

got multiple memories

velvet escarp
#

U can check by running this script in game: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(60272))

#

Or check for the achievement "The Forgotten One"

#

wait, if you already have other rogue legendaries, this shouldn't be an issue then. Either you already have it, or just try to run it once more

quasi grotto
#

yeah i switched to sin after the buffs

#

so i already have multiple leggos

#

and that quest is defintely completed

velvet escarp
#

But the Zoldyk memory is grayed out in your Powers tab?

quasi grotto
#

yep !

#

i have submitted a ticket

velvet escarp
#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø good luck

quasi grotto
#

couldnt overlap the 2 annoyingly

velvet escarp
#

that is one heck of a bug lol

#

well someone submitted a ticket and got it mailed to them, so maybe you'll have the same response: https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/memory-did-not-drop-from-torghast/258324/5

World of Warcraft Forums

Thanks for the info and the link, @Ancelyn. So, it seems I was pretty lucky with all my first-try-drop Memories on the other classes. @Blizz: I think you really should add this info (not 100% drop rate) to your support article. (I mean, the topic of the article is ā€œDidn’t Receive Runecarver Memory Power from Torghastā€, and a non-100% drop ch...

upper wasp
#

!guide

sharp sand
#

so necro is most likely the best right, is venthyr still viable or should i switch?

tame ravine
#

best for AoE and really close to venthyr in ST

vestal wren
#

we had this discussion earlier today, if you want a more detailed view you can read it up:
#assassination message

#

else: both venthyr and necro are good

tame ravine
#

no need to rush into a decision though

sharp sand
#

thanks guys helped a lot

upper wasp
#

Hi guys, there's a section in discord where i can find UI interface?

vestal wren

we don't offer more than some suggestions for weakauras

oh ty

scenic meteor
#

I have 235 doomblade on gloves, do I need to craft them in another piece because of the 9.1 socket stuff?

frank jetty
#

you should on cloak yeah

scenic meteor
#

What about zoldycks on boots are they ok?

frank jetty
#

check the pins

#

first post explains everything you might want to know šŸ™‚

scenic meteor
#

Thanks

dim shoal
#

Are there some updated sims?

vestal wren
#

there are sims/information in the pins

dim shoal
#

But none for comparing the specs right?

#

Like numbers wise

vestal wren
#

what do you want to know?

dim shoal
#

ST Cleave numbers to be precise

#

How far Assa is ahead in some aspects compared to outlaw/sub

vestal wren
#

subtlety and assassination both will be about equal on st, outlaw behind

dim shoal
#

I know its ptr and all, but im just curious

vestal wren
#

outlaw/sin will be ahead on cleave by ~10-20% above subtlety

spice spire
#

Oh, sims for 9.1 aren’t out yet

dim shoal
#

5 Targets Sub/Outlaw, and anything more Sub right?

vestal wren
#

in aoe, it rly comes down to the target count

#

subtlety gets better in aoe on higher target counts

dim shoal
#

Oh man it sounds like 9.0 release all over again

vestal wren
#

no

#

9.0 subtlety was about on bar with outlaw on st

#

and assassination was just bad

dim shoal
#

now with assa

#

youre right

vestal wren
#

now we have assassination on par with sub

dim shoal
#

mb :d i forgot assa wasnt there at release

vestal wren
#

and outlaw slightly behind

frank jetty
#

I guess BiS Combination would be like Assa for Raid (ST) and Outlaw for M+ and Raid(Cleave Fight) am I right?

dim shoal
#

Shuriken Tornado Sub is pretty good in M+ afaik

vestal wren
#

how good/bad subtlety is in m+

#

will highly depend on the pull sizes

indigo mulch
#

I mean you generally double pull in m+

#

So its almost always atleast 4 targets.

#

Unless you do ultra high keys then you jusy pull as much as your tank can kite kekw

#

I actually wanna try the new sub in m+

vestal wren
#

targets don't die at the same time usually

#

what means you can have a 4 target pull an have 2 of the targets die off fast

#

also 4 targets are probably not the amount of targets that subtlety will beat the other specs

indigo mulch
#

Yeps

rigid pine
#

Depends on the dungeon too I guess

indigo mulch
#

But 4 targets is prob to small but it depends on thr tank/healer and the dungeons ofc

north basin
#

on dena and remornia with necrolord, u just throw bone on each one and forget about it til the end off the fight? and ofc casting 1bone on dena every 30 sec for cp and damage purposes? thats the overall strategy?

vestal wren
#

you still want to use sbs

#

to not cap on charges

peak bobcat
#

Gemstone windows

north basin
#

so u have 2ongoing dots on dena+remornia and ur sbs restack to 3?

#

thought its restack to 1.

peak bobcat
#

It recharges back to 3

north basin
#

zz why i didnt change cov when i was doing dena months ago,,, seems like go to cov.

#

much more convenient than vanthyr stacks play

peak bobcat
#

It’s definitely good. Venthyr does feel nice when destroying one target

#

Venthyr is very fire and forget you don’t really change anything about your rotation

north basin
#

i was just overviewing fight when i was trying to do 20+ stacks on flag and trying to maximize my haste window, so lame

#

i could just pick necro and relax

sonic schooner
#

yea that s what i like with necro, it s just less to deal with

north basin
#

and comparable results, thats important too, its not 800+ dps swing or something,

#

u just do + - 150 dps and have much less headache

timid talon
#

When is it worth using deeper strat over vigor? The guides mostly suggest vigor but logs show people using deeper or even MfD sometimes - is there a reason?

gusty mirage
#

In 9.0? When you’re playing blindside

timid talon
#

And with 9.1 the same mindset applies?

gusty mirage
#

Blindside/deeper sims a bit better for people (especially venthyr). Until the sims are out for 9.1, the best we can speculate is it’ll probably still be EP/Vigor or Blindside/Deeper Strata still unless the new soulbind stuff and influx of secondaries change that

vestal wren
#

EB might become better with higher gear, but overall bs will likely remain the dominant choice

#

deeper/vigor/etc is very gear dependent if i remember it right

gusty mirage
#

Yeah higher secondaries (crit and haste) can make deeper beat vigor

#

But afaik they’re pretty close as is

#

Like sub 50dps

scenic meteor
#

Ah so if I’m staying venthyr it’s looking like blind/deeper for ST?

vestal wren
#

you will probably just run sims on it

gusty mirage
#

Most likely yeah unless something really changes with the 9.1 stuff being implemented

indigo mulch
#

I mean, we get crit/haste on every single piece D:

bitter canyon
#

Does anyone know if there’s a bug with skulkers where it sometimes doesn’t proc?

indigo mulch
#

outside of weapon and a ring i believe

#

From just raidgear

scenic meteor
#

Ok so I have to recraft doomblade on cloak and zoldyck on leggings

#

/cry

bitter canyon
#

Used it on a boss in a key last night and it just never procced. Had the buff and it just expired

gusty mirage
bitter canyon
#

bRuH

bitter canyon
#

alright thanks

indigo mulch
#

Very annoying to use at times.

gusty mirage
#

Yeah it’s weird lol

limber lion
bitter canyon
#

Much appreciated, was worried it sometimes would glitch out and not trigger

limber lion
#

We're already playing EP/Vig on most fights as they sim very very similarly.

gusty mirage
#

Good morning @limber lion whispy3Wave

vestal wren
#

tbh i rly like new patches

#

so much things to discover and experiment with

limber lion
#

And BS/DS falls off on multiple targets.

indigo mulch
#

I think ep/vig will prob be the best once we are decked with sanctum.

scenic meteor
#

Hiya @limber lion

limber lion
scenic meteor
#

Is it evening for you šŸ™‚

real solar
#

Hi dad @limber lion

limber lion
#

Yep, 4:42pm here

indigo mulch
#

HES FROM THE FUTURE

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

It’s why he’s so smart, don’t tell anyone the secret monkaS

bitter canyon
#

I heard the new necrolord legendary was actually worse than Zoldycks for m+ since it’s 0 gain in ST fights

indigo mulch
limber lion
#

But yeh, very likely.

indigo mulch
#

I mean... depends on how long the execute phase is of the boss šŸ˜„

bitter canyon
#

Is the venthyr legendary better?

limber lion
bitter canyon
#

o o f

gusty mirage
#

I wish they would’ve fixed the cleave spikes flurrying for outlaw and kept all the bonus charges peeporeallysad

limber lion
#

Ok, back to eating and sunbathing

#

Bye boys <3

real solar
#

bye dad

gusty mirage
bitter canyon
#

outlaw Toxic

vestal wren
#

i am unsure if MA comes back in m+

#

not nessecerly for assassination but for outlaw

willow eagle
#

For outlaw probably

tulip nacelle
#

most likely yes

willow eagle
#

But I assume the stigma on 20+ keys will make greeenskin the popular choice

gusty mirage
#

Having essentially a 45s cooldown on vanish makes MA nuts for outlaw tbh

vestal wren
#

assassination just has very strong options like zoldy/dashing/doomblade that should work well in m+ too

real solar
#

As much as I hated Prideful - pride + MA + KS was insane damage

indigo mulch
#

I really like the concept of dashing, i'm actually really sad its not our top one.

brazen rampart
#

do you use SBS on pull with MA?

indigo mulch
#

Yes

#

replace your first mutilate with sbs

devout temple
#

are the fire/balance nerfs big in 9.1? i hate how much dmg fire can do in m+

vestal wren
#

i don't think so

limber lion
devout temple
#

lol

limber lion
#

But no, they are still not target capped

#

So they do massive damage by design

#

Compared to everyone else stuck at 6-8 targets

ember jay
#

balance still took a big hit compare to how they are now

#

doesnt mean its not still broken

devout temple
#

how far behind is sin from combat

limber lion
#

They are definitely worse on cleave/st

limber lion
devout temple
#

ya

limber lion
#

Currently they are very similar in damage.

#

Outlaw just has way more utility

devout temple
#

ooh i see

limber lion
#

Outlaw is still the preferred spec

#

And does more upfront damage

fallen arch
#

I struggle to slam out more dps tbh as outlaw

limber lion
fallen arch
#

As opposed to assassination, which I like wayy better

limber lion
#

I do fine on both, but I just enjoy sin a lot more

fallen arch
#

Also, Garrote is not to be underestimated?

devout temple
#

ya i find sin fun been playing it since tbc (i know it sucked intbc)

limber lion
#

So I tend to perform better on it as well

devout temple
#

more fun*

fallen arch
#

It’s 3 silences

limber lion
fallen arch
#

1-2x per pack

limber lion
#

But it's always on the opener

devout temple
#

as long as it doesn't suck in m+ i dont mind if its behind outlaw

limber lion
#

Or if you have your vanish up

#

It's not really as on-demand

fallen arch
#

Thats true

limber lion
#

No worries

devout temple
#

nice

fallen arch
#

And I fucking hate pirates

#

So there’s that

devout temple
#

cause at start of SL i really missed that garrote trait

limber lion
#

I average 7-8.5k dps depending on the dungeon.

limber lion
#

Our damage comes from multiple things, not just the first 3 garrotes in a pack lol

devout temple
#

hah

scenic meteor
#

When hitting a pack of 4, after I have garrotted all 4 is SnD the next priority or CT?

limber lion
#

You apply it once in the beginning

#

And maintain it 24/7 with Envenom

#

If you're missinh SnD, apply it

scenic meteor
#

Yeah so use envenoms to keep it up

#

Ok

limber lion
#

You should only hardcast it in the very first pack of the dungeon

#

Then you maintain it with Envenom and with leftover CP's from packs

scenic meteor
#

And on 4 targets is it garrotte 3 empowered then one normal, then CT, then rupture all targets

#

Ok

limber lion
#

Which cov are you?

scenic meteor
#

I’m staying venthyr, I enjoy flaggelation a lot more than sbs

limber lion
#

Fair enough

scenic meteor
#

I’m not doing any high end content so it doesn’t matter

limber lion
#

Just press that before CT and you're gucci

#

Don't hold it too much

scenic meteor
#

Press flag before CT? sure

limber lion
#

Slam that boy as much as possible

#

Same with Vanish/Vendetta

scenic meteor
#

Yeah and just vendetta the biggest mob in the pack?

limber lion
#

Ye

#

Saving cds for bosses/prides when necessary

scenic meteor
#

Yeah okay

frigid kestrel
#

I use to pop my Flag on prio targets and try and FOK -> Rupture/CT/Envenom spam as fast as possible to spend them CP’s. Like Arbilists and things of that nature

scenic meteor
#

Is sbs really ahead venth on aoe? I just prefer flaggelation

limber lion
#

Yep

limber lion
#

But if you're not doing super high content, it doesn't matter too much

#

Just play Flag, it's fine

#

Enjoy the game

#

No point playing something you dislike

scenic meteor
#

Yeah šŸ™‚

limber lion
#

For slightly more dps

scenic meteor
#

I prefer sinfall to seat of primus

#

I know that’s stupid to some

limber lion
#

Sinfall is the best sanctum

scenic meteor
#

Yeah the aoe dummy’s in sinfall are Nice

#

Necro don’t have any aoe dummies

whole bluff
#

I liked the Kyrian one, you can use mounts in bastion

polar cape
#

@limber lion kyrian is the best wdym cant fall asleep from the bench from how bright it is

scenic meteor
#

That’s my problem with bastion - way too bright for me

whole bluff
#

Just use the darkmoon potion

mortal quiver
#

Hey guys new here. Been reading through everything which of course takes forever. Did i read it right though that our bis covenant is now necro?

scenic meteor
#

Yeah it is

#

Way ahead on aoe and pretty close to venthyr in ST

limber lion
#

Yup

scenic meteor
#

@limber lion have you re-crafted doomblade on cloak and zoldyck on leggings?

limber lion
#

We can't recraft on cloak yet

#

We get the slot when 9.1 drops

#

I'm just waiting for now

scenic meteor
#

Ah okay

limber lion
#

Not doing anything before heroic week probably

#

Just saving everything

scenic meteor
#

So I’ll just save my soul ash šŸ™‚

limber lion
#

Need to see the sims before making any hasty decisions :p

scenic meteor
#

Also can I just craft doomblade on cloak at rank 5? skipping other 9.0 ranks

#

When 9.1 comes out that is

limber lion
#

Yes, but you need the r4 base item pretty sure.

scenic meteor
#

Ah is there not new base pieces for the new upgrades?

devout temple
#

thats nice i really like necrolord

limber lion
#

We're not 100% sure yet

#

We're still waiting

scenic meteor
#

Yeah ok I won’t do anything yet then haha

limber lion
#

Ptr is so open and the vendors barely have anything

#

So it's hard to test stuff

scenic meteor
#

Just saving soul ash and money for 9.1

limber lion
#

Yeh, it's a safe bet

scenic meteor
#

And soul ash is 80% increased in 9.1 šŸ˜‹

mortal quiver
#

ok stupid question would I weave in casts of SBS on the same target for the addiontal combo points or is it a fire and forget for the most part. Also evidently I'm dumb cuz I made my first leggo doomblade as shoulders /facepalm

gusty mirage
#

you're not dumb šŸ™‚

#

I also made doom on shoulders, but it was an ilvl thing for me (I didn't think I would get the SLG shoulders + I had 226 gloves and 220 shoulders)

#

But for SBS: You open with it, dot up whatever doesn't have the bleed on it, make sure you don't cap charges, and then dump available charges during gemstones window with heimir

#

or if you're playing Emeni, you use SBS to extend Lead by Example during vendetta

thorny pond
#

And my DB is also on shoulders until 9.1 so don’t feel bad

#

Why did your message just load Oxi. Sorry for the double post

mortal quiver
#

K i'll have to do the covenant swap after my raid tonight as I'm currently Venth. Just trying to up and maximize my dps as we have some low dpsers and I'm usually the high dps for our group and wanna be able to down stuff lol

gusty mirage
#

because your beauty is just too much for discord to comprehend, so it delayed my message @thorny pond

thorny pond
#

Venth is viable for prog

thorny pond
devout temple
#

ya but i love boner spike

pale fossil
gusty mirage
#

I covered that pepehands

hot helm
#

If I already have doomblade on hands, is it really worth crafting another cloak?

pale fossil
#

Ah you're right capt

#

Mb

limber lion
devout temple
#

bone spike legendary looks interesting

thorny pond
mortal quiver
#

does the dmg increase to envenom on doomblade leggo benifit from the dot from sbs

limber lion
#

But we're still waiting to see wht happens

pale fossil
#

Either way, you shouldn't craft anything rn, and if you're worried about farming soul ash it's infinitely farmable in 9.1 so just wait to see what the sims say.

gusty mirage
#

if you really wanna beat the crowd, you could buy the cloak leggo now

#

and just sit on it

limber lion
#

Yeh, I did that as well

pale fossil
#

I did it also.

limber lion
#

It'll probably sell for more in 9.1 regardless

thorny pond
#

Worst case scenario you make some gold on it

gusty mirage
#

^

limber lion
#

Even if it won't be the best choice for us

pale fossil
#

I've considered buying a few more to sell in 9.1 haha

hot helm
#

is assa looking strongest for raiding? or too ealrier to tell?

limber lion
pale fossil
#

It's looking the best.

plain thistle
#

same, 8k for 235 cape, super cheap

gusty mirage
#

afaik sub ST is looking super close though

limber lion
#

It's looking great though

mortal quiver

appreciate the help guys/gals and for not bashing me

limber lion

At least

#

Not much

#

Usually.

Sometimes.

gusty mirage

some class discords are very toxic

The paladin discord can get messy every once and a great while

scenic meteor

Hmm I might buy the 235 base cloak piece rn

#

Seems like a good investment

limber lion

Yep sure is.

gusty mirage

worst case I'm sure you can pawn it off to an alt or a friend

scenic meteor

How much does your cloak cost on your server?

devout temple

you got a 92% damage today rank

which is good

plain thistle
#

nothing major looks like, just some minor things

the difference in a higher parse than that is the little bit that @plain thistle pointed out

south hollow
#

Yea on the pull i tend to forget but now I started doing it lately, idk why my brain doesn't want me to envenom with 4 CP instead of 5, just bad habbit i guess

#

Also something else I wanted to ask about,

gusty mirage
#

The first gemstones proc seems to get most people, if you don't have a WA for it I highly recommend grabbing one and adding a sound queue to it

#

I know I had to, because I'd tunnel into getting my stuff out and I'd end up losing a SBS cast

south hollow
#

In a 2 target fight like huntsman or SLG(on hc), do you just straight out burst on one of the targets or do you apply dots to both and then start bursting

#

and also, let's say a goliath spawns on SLG and you are in vendetta, do you switch targets in order to apply rupture and gar on him or do you keep focusing the vendetta target

gusty mirage
#

I personally like dotting up everything, but idk if that's the proper way of doing it

#

you could cheese it a bit by using a mouseover for garrote & rupture in that situation but that can get messy

#

so I'll let @plain thistle do the heavy pulling here :3

plain thistle
gusty mirage
#

my feelcraft behind dotting everything up is that its more energy, and that's always a positive

plain thistle
#

right now I dot both before vendetta. but in the first weeks I did the normal burst before dotting the dog

limber lion
#

I've gotten multiple rank 1's on Huntsman and SLG, on both heroic and mythic

#

And let me tell you

#

It probably doesn't matter too much

#

It's a very small portion of the fight

gusty mirage
#

I have a confession fellow assa rogues

limber lion
#

I personally dot both up with Ruptures before pumping

plain thistle
#

the second question, I would garrote and rupture the new goliath, even if vendetta is up on boss

limber lion
#

Then garrote when it's off cd

gusty mirage
#

all of my good heroic parses outside of hungering.... are pirate parses aPES_Hide

limber lion
#

But I don't wait to put both gar/rup on

#

Before going ham

gusty mirage
#

I know pepehands

drifting cloud
#

just tell us you did 1 outlaw meme clear 3months ago and none since

#

not like anyone will check

gusty mirage
#

I can't lie to family

#

I've brought shame to us all

bleak sky
#

99 sludge on outlaw

#

shame

gusty mirage
#

I WAS 7TH ON THE CHARTS TOO

bleak sky
#

all my parses are shit tho so I can't really talk about yours

limber lion
#

It's okay boys

#

We're all here to learn

#

Practice makes poggers

bleak sky
#

😠

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

I've been clean for almost 2 months PES_Cry

limber lion
#

Just that none of his parses are as good as on outlaw

south hollow
#

Thank you very much guys

limber lion
#

Man probably still grinds sin way more

gusty mirage
bleak sky
#

I know, I know, I just wanted to meme on oxi 😦

south hollow
#

I'm a bit scared of the blood build, i love this spec, but never tried that build

bleak sky
#

getting a good parse on sin is hard, it's all the tryhard bois playing sin

south hollow
#

I know it's better the more haste u have in like the last patch/2 patches usually

gusty mirage
#

all is right in the world now though @bleak sky my humble mythic parses:

bleak sky
pale fossil
#

Huntsman MonkaChrist

scenic meteor
drifting cloud
#

I still see an outlaw

gusty mirage
#

that was pre-9.0.5

drifting cloud
#

ok Ill let it slide then

limber lion
#

Just compare the numbers on sin/outlaw players

#

It's nutty

gusty mirage
#

BUT my assa IO is finally > my pirate io šŸ™‚

bleak sky
#

I've only pugged mythic on my rogue up until sire, so it's all the shit parses peeposhrug

gusty mirage
bleak sky
#

damn oxi, pumping those M+

gusty mirage
#

I do like 800 less dps as outlaw kekw

drifting cloud
#

m+ is some real shit in SL

#

I did ksm in december and since Ive done like 1 key higher than 16

gusty mirage
#

its definitely not fun

#

some of those bosses at a 20 are miserable even on fortified weeks

red plaza
#

Rogue skips to the new Torghast powers in 9.1? rogue šŸ“ˆ?

bleak sky
#

not fun but gotta have io to sell boosts besad

ancient kraken
#

skip to the power first so we clear faster

#

in m+

#

more dmg

south hollow
#

mama fucking mia

#

draenor eu

gusty mirage
#

jeez

#

why are EU prices so damn expensive

#

its probably cause all our EU homies are gamers

south hollow
#

compare rank 1 to rank 4

#

jesus

gusty mirage
#

buncha gamers probably bought the r4s driving up the price

scenic meteor
#

Mine is 56k argent dawn eu

#

But RP server I guess lol

red plaza
#

The new m+ seasonal affix is lieutenants around the dungeon that give you Torghast powers

gusty mirage
#

but tbf on area 52 US, r1 and r2 are both 100g and r4 is 23k

red plaza
#

I’ve seen some routes try and gather as much powers as you can before you blast through the dungeon

gusty mirage
#

yeah some routes are absolutely going to require shroud

#

WE'RE BACK BOYS

south hollow
red plaza
thorny pond
#

Shroud and invisibility will be meta for sure

gusty mirage
#

and we can laugh at the peasants who don't have stealth

#

now we don't have to save pots for invising past a pride

#

rogue stonks in 9.1

thorny pond
#

Ryfie was talking about the meta and like hpal is gonna be the boy without feign or stealth

south hollow
#

we wanna craft doomblade on cape because of the sockets right?

gusty mirage
#

yeppers

#

at least that's what it seems like so far until the 9.1 stuff is implemented into the sims

south hollow
#

i have it on my shoulders

#

at least it's rank 2 oh well

gusty mirage
#

same but at least now no one can shame us for having doomblade shoulders

#

I've been bullied in here since March PES_Cry

south hollow
#

it will be our little secret

bleak sky
#

does it even matter having doomblades on shoulders? it's not like SLG shoulders even exist feelscryman

exotic pulsar
#

Why are so many rogues taking elaborate planning instead of blindside on mythic sire? I thought our purpose was to execute p3.

bleak sky
#

blizz took them out of the loot table i'm sure

gusty mirage
red plaza
#

PARSE > PROG (not really, but that’s why you see parses use Doomblade instead of Zoldyck’s as well)

exotic pulsar
#

Ah I figured

#

Thats why they are taking CT. I guess they are just trying to pad p1 and p2

scenic meteor
#

I’m a noob, what is parse? Lol

red plaza
#

Don’t worry about. Just listen to your raid leader and do all the raid mechanics assigned to you with no problems Kappa

scenic meteor
#

Yep that’s what I do lol

drifting cloud
#

pb is also even worse on sire than on your average boss

gusty mirage
plucky isle
#

to simplify the parse question. It just matches you against other rogue of the same spec, and according to this it tracks how good you are doing

exotic pulsar
drifting cloud
#

well its still better in p3 which was your original question šŸ˜›

scenic meteor
gusty mirage
sonic schooner
#

@south hollow i m on a little server, cloak r4 is 95k gold rn

plucky isle
#

anyone knows if phial of putrefaction still will be good?

gusty mirage
#

so if you really don't want to, you technically can skip out on it

drifting cloud
#

thats probably without zold right

drowsy parcel
#

i bought a 235 cloak yesterday for 12k peeposhrug

bleak sky
gusty mirage
plucky isle
gusty mirage
#

I could be wrong though

#

I never really asked

exotic pulsar
drifting cloud
#

regarding cloaks I just checked on kazzak there was 1 up for 8k lol bought it just incase pepechortle

gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

yeah

Lol gg

imagine 252 phial first vault MonkaGIGA

limber lion

So

#

Just be aware

gusty mirage
#

watch them give us 1 silver per again

plucky isle
gusty mirage
#

so I can tilt

limber lion
#

Okay good

#

Don't go ham just yet :p

slender berry
#

probably wont be able to ham in 9,1 anyway since you have a relatively low cap first week

gusty mirage
#

well friendos I'll brb gotta go for a bit

#

don't burn the place down

slender berry
#

time to spread secondary stat caps

ancient kraken
#

cape 10k peepoyum

cerulean nest
#

anyone comprehend the plan for domination gear/sockets? seems so all over the place

drifting cloud
#

acquire all

limber lion
#

Likely you want all 5 pieces

#

All 3 unholy gems

bleak sky
limber lion
#

1 frost dps gem

#

And 1 blood dps gem

cerulean nest
#

okay okay

limber lion
#

Buuuuuut gotta wait to see how they play out

drifting cloud
#

cant wait to do normal clears a few weeks in for domination gear

limber lion
#

We can:t really test them out too too much currwntly

#

The vendors are awful in ptr

#

And you can't get the raid items from anywhere

#

Can't test the sylvanas dagger either

pallid hollow
limber lion
#

Like I literally said

#

After that

#

But uhm it's likely

#

That the multiple ranks

#

Are a bug

indigo mulch
#

Anyone know if you actually need all 5 of the new sanctum gems to get the bonus or is 3 enough?

limber lion
#

But who knows

pallid hollow
#

Yeah stupid realistically

pallid hollow
#

At that point they should let you just stack them

limber lion
#

Yeh maybe

#

The healing gems are useless for dps

#

Why should we need one

#

Lol

indigo mulch
#

I thought you needed like 3 blood to get the bonus

limber lion
#

"200 speed" nty I'll take 0.3% more dps

limber lion
#

3 unholy gems

#

One of each

pallid hollow
#

Should just make it so that you can add a ā€œdomination socketā€ to X item slot

indigo mulch
#

But 5 inholy wont do anything?

limber lion
#

No

#

And

#

There are only 3 gems

#

There are not 5 unholy gems

#

There's only 3 unique ones

drifting cloud
#

Cev is stacking the speed ones dont tell anyone

cerulean nest
#

and they all drop from raid bosses right?

limber lion
#

Hoping that stacking ranks is not a bug, even though it will promote awful degen gameplay

limber lion
cerulean nest
#

100% rate?

limber lion
#

Insane

limber lion
#

Doubt it.

cerulean nest
#

oy vey

drifting cloud
#

and a leech set MHAV_chikawink

jagged yoke
#

whats the best 9.1 spec looking like?

limber lion
#

Probably similar to conduits

limber lion
#

No one best spec

jagged yoke
#

raid and m+ ?

limber lion
#

Sin for raiding is likely, Outlaw for m+

indigo mulch
#

Assassination is besy dont lie.

limber lion
#

Sub is looking great as well tbh

#

We can't really say

#

Gotta wait for sims

indigo mulch
#

Asasssination is bae.

drowsy parcel
#

venthyr sub MonkaGIGA

jagged yoke
#

ah ok i havent played since like a month after SL so might go back to sin after doing sub

drowsy parcel
#

the darkest horse

indigo mulch
#

Did they actually start the sims already?

#

Or they going to wait closer to release?

limber lion
#

They did a but

#

But

#

We're missing a lot of stuff

#

Most havem't been implemented yet

#

So they can't sim

drifting cloud
#

rogue tcs dont overdo sims before releases usually since its mostly just a waste of time

#

but some other classes have alot more stuff

indigo mulch
#

Like daggers?

#

=D

limber lion
#

Don't have em

#

They literally changed them

#

Under 24 hours ago

indigo mulch
#

Wait what

#

Whst did they do to it?

limber lion
#

Buff

#

By like 300%

indigo mulch
#

Lol

limber lion
#

A lot of stuff is missing

#

Ask again in 2 weeks :p

indigo mulch
#

300% isent that much considering it was very underwhelming

limber lion
#

@balmy condor will be doing all the simming with the TC lads, he'll post new sims in the pins the second they're ready

#

If there isn't sims in the pins

#

They are not done

indigo mulch
#

No i know lets bring out the pitchforks so were ready to hunt whispyer down when blizzard changes something.

vestal wren
#

if there was only a way to sim ptr

#

like by using ptr=1 in a simulation on raidbots

bleak sky
#

tc = theorycrafting?

drifting cloud
#

yeah

indigo mulch
#

Is simc updated for 9.1 though?

limber lion
#

No it is nit

sand sigil
#

does anyone know if the daggers when they stack to 4 become "12% chance of 8k damage per cp", or is it just the probability or just the damage that gets stacked?

limber lion
#

A lot of things are missing implementations

vestal wren
limber lion
vestal wren
indigo mulch
drifting cloud
#

doubt its both 12% of 8k per cp sounds insane

indigo mulch
#

Errr rogue stuffs*

vestal wren
#

there is stuff missing

limber lion
#

Probably either or

vestal wren
#

domination sockets f.ex.

limber lion
#

But pretty much the same result in dps

vestal wren
#

and trinekts/etc are not fully implemented

#

also always expect more changes over time

limber lion
#

a lot of stuff is missing

#

Highly advise against starting your own sim journey in advanced now tbh

indigo mulch
#

Domination is w/e trinkets is a shame though.

drifting cloud
#

is that dungeon trinket still insane in latest journal?

vestal wren
#

also

#

very important, check what simc version raidbots is using to be sure you are up to date

indigo mulch
#

Yeah

vestal wren
#

9.1 support will come to raidbots with patch release

#

if you want to do the usual casual sim you will need to wait for the release

indigo mulch
#

Im more curious how much dps we will gain from all thst juicy sanctum loot. Almost all the peices have crit/haste.

limber lion
#

If you actually want to sim stuff, you need beta raidbots or do it locally

gusty kestrel
#

567,94 dps

limber lion
#

It's awful

vestal wren
#

just wait for 9.1 release

drifting cloud
#

its gonna be alot

vestal wren
#

so you can use the dropoptimizer

indigo mulch
#

Im throwing myself into a freezer. Its way to warm atm.

drifting cloud
#

sockets and conduits plus the usual ilvl

#

should be above 10k easily very fast

vestal wren
#

9.1 release gives you a full week to sim your stuff

#

(raid is released one week later)

indigo mulch
#

I need to level my survival hunter though.

#

The meme is ready.

limber lion
indigo mulch
#

Its always a tuning patch just before mythic.

limber lion
#

I mean, it happens pretty much every time

vestal wren
#

but yes, its usual that we see tuning with mythic release

limber lion
#

But yeh

vestal wren
#

blizz did state in the dev interview that they want to do weekly tuning changes

#

but mainly to underperforming specs

pallid hollow
#

Yeah but small indie company

vestal wren
#

so assuming they rly do that we will have far more changes in power dynamic

limber lion
vestal wren
#

but, we won't know before it happens (or not if they stay with their old strategy)

limber lion
#

So they try to do it before that

#

And after the wfr has concluded

polar cape
#

They dont want to tune class first mythic week causr they wanna tune booss

vestal wren
#

i think the idea is to buff underperformers only

polar cape
#

Kek

vestal wren
#

because that doesen't impact the wfr

#

also only tune op specs down a bit

#

so they maintian very strong but probably not like... too strong

dense narwhal
#

Anyone else feel like shiv comes off cooldown way too fast? Lol I find it tricky to incorporate, especially in m+

#

Definitely my most neglected cd

limber lion
#

They let stuff like echoing void stay

#

Because they knew it would mess things up

vestal wren
#

they did it in cn

limber lion
#

If they changed it

#

They did?

vestal wren
#

yes

#

DK was nerfed

limber lion
#

To which class

vestal wren
#

Hunter got a small nerf

gusty mirage
#

especially in AoE

#

even if you don't have energy, even if you don't have CP to envenom in the window

#

you just send it

dense narwhal
#

Do you just use it on cd on priority target? Even if you're not envenoming?

#

Ahh

gusty mirage
#

yeah because it also increases your poison damage

#

so its still good to hit the prio target with

#

if you wanna know how hard the bot slams shiv, I've seen it shiv a mob that was about to die in slice

#

lol

dense narwhal
#

Assuming your snd drops, do you get your 5 bleeds up first before refreshing snd?

gusty mirage
#

you'd want snd up first

#

because melee hits are such a big part of our damage

dense narwhal
#

I keep hearing different things about that. I'd agree with you though

gusty mirage
#

have you seen @warped temple 's m+ guide?

#

it's the best resource we have for assa aoe/m+

#

šŸ™‚

dense narwhal
#

Lol love the name

gusty mirage
#

Peanut gang unite

vestal wren
#

oh wait, do i remember it wrong

#

was 9.0.2 only pvp nerfs

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

afaik that was pvp only

limber lion
#

Only aimed shot being nerfed in pvp or something

gusty mirage
#

they did nerf a shit ton of bosses in 9.0.2 though

dense narwhal
#

So Muti 3 targets and under

#

Crimson tempest outside of shiv window

#

For St

limber lion
#

Ye

gusty mirage
#

yeah you only fok on 3 if you need to apply poisons

limber lion
#

In aoe you ct regardless

dense narwhal
#

Does CT apply poisons?

limber lion
#

Yes

gusty mirage
#

it can yea

limber lion
#

At normal rates

#

Isn't 100%

bitter canyon
#

CT spam? Toxic

limber lion
#

No.

gusty mirage
#

yeah in aoe you just envenom to keep up snd

#

that's about it

bitter canyon
#

Okay but here me out

#

What if there’s like 12 targets

#

CT only hits 8

soft shale
#

you can move and make ct hit different targets

limber lion
soft shale
#

same with shuriken storm

gusty mirage
#

run to the other side of the pack and CT and pray to the rng gods

soft shale
#

usually you can just run a bit out of melee range and hit one side

#

then go to the other one and use it again

ionic vault
#

hello, where would someone start if they were trying to decide between playing assassination or outlaw for 9.1 ?

limber lion
#

If there's 4 targets missing CT, you're ticking off the condition box that says "ct when target is afflicted by it"

limber lion
#

Watch some streams

vestal wren
#

a lot of ct's power is in the dot

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

you don't want to spam it

limber lion
#

Never.

#

CT spam is dead.

vestal wren
#

i mean

#

ct stream was a thing

ionic vault
#

@gusty mirage ive played both in the past but I was just wondering if there were any logs available for ptr testing or something

vestal wren
#

but only because most people didn't know how to use it

#

and then just spammed ct

#

that was in early bfa

#

i remember discussions about it in this channel

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

outlaw is behind on pure st

gusty mirage
#

probably 2-3T cleave too ya?

vestal wren
#

outlaw is good in cleave

#

its not subtlety

#

single target matters a lot in raids

ionic vault
#

Im just starting today reading on 9.1 changes. Id have to check what the new boss fight look like before making a decision too I guess

vestal wren
#

this is why assassination with a clear damage lead on it is a preferable choice

#

but keep in mind that you can absolutely bring outlaw to raid too

#

esp. if your raid is not pushing high world ranks

keen swallow
#

What lego do we run in m+?

strange python
#

@vestal wren what disqualifies ass in ranking? Isn't it projected for number 1 melee?

soft shale
#

m+ zzoldyck

vestal wren
#

wdym munky?

keen swallow
#

ty

vestal wren
#

i did say assassination is ahead of outlaw not vice versa

gusty mirage
strange python
#

I mean assassination in the world first race. Don't u think ass would be included if not the majority of melee in raid?

vestal wren
#

zold/doomblade both works fine in m+

strange python
#

Oh my bad

#

I misread what u where saying

scenic meteor
#

Doomblade for ToP and plateful, zoldycks rest

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

was about to say that you will need to be carefull with it ^^

#

zold is probably the "you can't go wrong" choice

gusty mirage
#

^

vestal wren
#

munky, about the wfr

#

its very hard to predict what will be brought

scenic meteor
#

@warped temple great guide šŸ™‚

keen swallow
#

Okay cheers. Am i safe going necrolord for 9.1?

vestal wren
#

both sub/sin are aout equal on output and very high on the sims

scenic meteor
#

More than safe

keen swallow
#

Doing both raids and m+ (as assass

limber lion
#

Doomblade is awful for m+ for the most part

#

It's 0 value in big packs

vestal wren
#

however rogue still doesen't bring additional raid utility.
This means that its possible that raiders will just drop rogue in fav. of other classes

scenic meteor
#

Necro is best allrounder, way ahead in aoe and tiny bit behind venthyr in ST @keen swallow

limber lion
keen swallow
#

Okay ty

glass dust
#

Why Necro is jumping few places in ST since 9.1 ?

#

Is this still better than NF in ST ?

vestal wren
#

we had a more in detail discussion about necro/venthyr earlier today

strange python
#

Fair. Cloak immunity will only get us so far

vestal wren
warped temple
vestal wren
#

^ if you want to read up on it

#

necro is atm the assumed best choice because its more dynamic in use

#

if its the best choice for you will depend

soft shale
#

also assa does not have good conduits for aoe/cleave so fractures is big gains for them

#

katar and deadly poisons are meh

wide bolt
#

Looking at pins should i recraft doomblade on cloak or dont bother and keep using gloves?

limber lion
#

Necro is the best choice because it beats any other covenant in any other situation but pure single target

#

1t venth

strange python
limber lion
#

2t-1000t necrolord

#

1t + waves of adds necrolord

#

1+ 1 target for 50% of the fight, necrolord

#

2 targets, second is immune the entire fight - still necrolord

#

Necro wins in cleave, aoe, prio, funnel

#

Venth wins in pure st with no adds

tulip nacelle
gusty mirage
#

what if there's 1.5 targets?

limber lion
#

Necro

gusty mirage
#

what if there's like 3 spiders sitting in the corner?

limber lion
#

Necro

gusty mirage
strange python
soft shale
#

time to make the oprah meme but with necro

slim cradle
scenic meteor
#

Damn @limber lion peepostudy peepostudy

limber lion
#

"what if x?"

#

If x is anything else but "pure st"

#

The answer is necro

scenic meteor
#

Maybe I will go necro lol but I do enjoy my flaggelation

limber lion
#

Just stay Venthyr then

#

Honestly

#

Numbers are numbers

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

It's a video game in the end

spice spire
scenic meteor
#

Yeah true, I’m doing heroic raiding only and light mythics can’t be that different

limber lion
#

If you're not playing at a high tier, there is very little reason to play the most optimal way

#

Especially if you hate it

gusty mirage
#

you'll also play better if you like what you're playing

gusty mirage
#

so if you want to be an owlboy

#

we'll judge you, but have at it

strange python
limber lion
#

I have a friend who played an SP because his guild asked him to

#

He played like shit

#

He switched back to his main

#

He pumped

pallid hollow
#

I was venthyr but damn sbs feels and looks good.

limber lion
#

Playing something that you enjoy goes a long way

gusty mirage
#

SBS is super fun to play

keen swallow
#

Would it be worth waiting for 9.1 to drop first before I craft zoldyck?

limber lion
#

Even if it's numerocally slightly behind

gusty mirage
#

It just seems kind of overwhelming if you've never played it outside of the campaign

pallid hollow
#

Just no idea about leggos now D: too much up in the air atm

scenic meteor
#

Prob wait on crafting any leggos

limber lion
#

You should honestly wait before doing anything too hastily

#

Wait after the first week of 9.1

#

Before crafting stuff

keen swallow
#

Yeah, i just wanna check what pieces to buy. If legs are cheap il grab them.

limber lion
#

Go for it

pallid hollow
#

I’ve got doom blade at 190 and celerity at 225 for m+

limber lion
#

You can sell em after

#

Ez money if nothing else

keen swallow
#

got a 235 cloak for 9k for doomblade
