why recraft btw? chances we get things in first month on shoulder/hands slots not that big. for 90% of population
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.
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
Head, shoulders chest legs and boots is where we get the gems from i believe.
i think no reason to rush recraft, only if u have domination drops on leg slot
chest, helmet, shoulders, gloves, boots
idk where this is from, got linked in my guild discord yesterday
i wonder what "shaman"means
There we go.
hi what covenant is good for assa venth or necro
or waht is the best pick for covenant
btw why blizz didnt fix texture flikering bugs in open world with rtx nvidia cards and dx12? its been half year of addon..
i don't think that there is a big enough userbase of rtx
so finally tryingf to get zoldy from torghast
completed the correct in sub but wiht loot spec to sin
it didnt drop ?
yeah was on l8
then no reason it shouldn't drop if it was the right wing and you dont have it already
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
hmmmm i havent completed the twisting corridors but surely hthats not a wall
you need to unlock the runecarver yea
yeah ive got him
you don't need anything in tc
hey guys, which covernent will be superiour for raiding as an assasination rogue?
necro?
9.1
im stumped
So you've already done this questline then? https://www.wowhead.com/quest=60272/the-weak-link
also we should probably take this to #wow-general
necro most likely yes
yeah quest is done id assme. ive been playing since release
got multiple memories
U can check by running this script in game: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(60272))
Or check for the achievement "The Forgotten One"
Here's the support article for this issue: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/279012
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
yeah i switched to sin after the buffs
so i already have multiple leggos
and that quest is defintely completed
But the Zoldyk memory is grayed out in your Powers tab?
š¤·āāļø good luck
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
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 āDidnāt Receive Runecarver Memory Power from Torghastā, and a non-100% drop ch...
!guide
so necro is most likely the best right, is venthyr still viable or should i switch?
best for AoE and really close to venthyr in ST
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
no need to rush into a decision though
thanks guys helped a lot
Hi guys, there's a section in discord where i can find UI interface?
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
oh ty
I have 235 doomblade on gloves, do I need to craft them in another piece because of the 9.1 socket stuff?
you should on cloak yeah
What about zoldycks on boots are they ok?
Thanks
Are there some updated sims?
there are sims/information in the pins
what do you want to know?
ST Cleave numbers to be precise
How far Assa is ahead in some aspects compared to outlaw/sub
subtlety and assassination both will be about equal on st, outlaw behind
I know its ptr and all, but im just curious
outlaw/sin will be ahead on cleave by ~10-20% above subtlety
Oh, sims for 9.1 arenāt out yet
5 Targets Sub/Outlaw, and anything more Sub right?
in aoe, it rly comes down to the target count
subtlety gets better in aoe on higher target counts
Oh man it sounds like 9.0 release all over again
now we have assassination on par with sub
mb :d i forgot assa wasnt there at release
and outlaw slightly behind
I guess BiS Combination would be like Assa for Raid (ST) and Outlaw for M+ and Raid(Cleave Fight) am I right?
Shuriken Tornado Sub is pretty good in M+ afaik
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+
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
Yeps
Depends on the dungeon too I guess
But 4 targets is prob to small but it depends on thr tank/healer and the dungeons ofc
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?
Gemstone windows
so u have 2ongoing dots on dena+remornia and ur sbs restack to 3?
thought its restack to 1.
It recharges back to 3
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
Itās definitely good. Venthyr does feel nice when destroying one target
Venthyr is very fire and forget you donāt really change anything about your rotation
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
and comparable results, thats important too, its not 800+ dps swing or something,
u just do + - 150 dps and have much less headache
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?
In 9.0? When youāre playing blindside
And with 9.1 the same mindset applies?
Blindside/deeper sims a bit better for people (especially venthyr). Until the sims are out for 9.1, the best we can speculate is itāll probably still be EP/Vigor or Blindside/Deeper Strata still unless the new soulbind stuff and influx of secondaries change that
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
Yeah higher secondaries (crit and haste) can make deeper beat vigor
But afaik theyāre pretty close as is
Like sub 50dps
Ah so if Iām staying venthyr itās looking like blind/deeper for ST?
you will probably just run sims on it
Most likely yeah unless something really changes with the 9.1 stuff being implemented
I mean, we get crit/haste on every single piece D:
Does anyone know if thereās a bug with skulkers where it sometimes doesnāt proc?
Used it on a boss in a key last night and it just never procced. Had the buff and it just expired
You have to like run away from the target a bit to force it to jump. Itās a weird trinket tbh
bRuH
dis
alright thanks
Very annoying to use at times.
Yeah itās weird lol
Especially for Necro, EP is the likely choice honestly.
Much appreciated, was worried it sometimes would glitch out and not trigger
We're already playing EP/Vig on most fights as they sim very very similarly.
Good morning @limber lion 
And BS/DS falls off on multiple targets.
I think ep/vig will prob be the best once we are decked with sanctum.
Hiya @limber lion
Good evening 
Yo!
Is it evening for you š
Hi dad @limber lion
Yep, 4:42pm here
HES FROM THE FUTURE
hello son
Itās why heās so smart, donāt tell anyone the secret 
I heard the new necrolord legendary was actually worse than Zoldycks for m+ since itās 0 gain in ST fights

Not necessarily, really depends how well it performs in aoe.
But yeh, very likely.
I mean... depends on how long the execute phase is of the boss š
Is the venthyr legendary better?
Nah, it's pretty bad
o o f
I wish they wouldāve fixed the cleave spikes flurrying for outlaw and kept all the bonus charges 
bye dad
Enjoy friend 
outlaw 
For outlaw probably
most likely yes
But I assume the stigma on 20+ keys will make greeenskin the popular choice
Having essentially a 45s cooldown on vanish makes MA nuts for outlaw tbh
assassination just has very strong options like zoldy/dashing/doomblade that should work well in m+ too
As much as I hated Prideful - pride + MA + KS was insane damage
I really like the concept of dashing, i'm actually really sad its not our top one.
do you use SBS on pull with MA?
are the fire/balance nerfs big in 9.1? i hate how much dmg fire can do in m+
i don't think so
Yes, here in the fire mage discord, yes.
lol
But no, they are still not target capped
So they do massive damage by design
Compared to everyone else stuck at 6-8 targets
balance still took a big hit compare to how they are now
doesnt mean its not still broken
how far behind is sin from combat
They are definitely worse on cleave/st
In m+?
ya
ooh i see
But way more means gouge, right? Or am I missing something else
I struggle to slam out more dps tbh as outlaw
Gouge and Acrobatic Strikes mainly
As opposed to assassination, which I like wayy better
Each to their own, it's not a spec for everyone.
I do fine on both, but I just enjoy sin a lot more
Also, Garrote is not to be underestimated?
ya i find sin fun been playing it since tbc (i know it sucked intbc)
So I tend to perform better on it as well
more fun*
Itās 3 silences
Iron Wire is great, yes
1-2x per pack
But it's always on the opener
as long as it doesn't suck in m+ i dont mind if its behind outlaw
Thats true
Definitely does not suck
No worries
nice
cause at start of SL i really missed that garrote trait
I average 7-8.5k dps depending on the dungeon.
Yeah we're not super garrote-heavy anymore
Our damage comes from multiple things, not just the first 3 garrotes in a pack lol
hah
When hitting a pack of 4, after I have garrotted all 4 is SnD the next priority or CT?
You want to have SnD up through the entire dungeon
You apply it once in the beginning
And maintain it 24/7 with Envenom
If you're missinh SnD, apply it
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
And on 4 targets is it garrotte 3 empowered then one normal, then CT, then rupture all targets
Ok
Yes pretty much
Which cov are you?
Iām staying venthyr, I enjoy flaggelation a lot more than sbs
Fair enough
Iām not doing any high end content so it doesnāt matter
Press flag before CT? sure
Yeah and just vendetta the biggest mob in the pack?
Yeah okay
I use to pop my Flag on prio targets and try and FOK -> Rupture/CT/Envenom spam as fast as possible to spend them CPās. Like Arbilists and things of that nature
Is sbs really ahead venth on aoe? I just prefer flaggelation
Yep
Very much so
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
Yeah š
For slightly more dps
Sinfall is the best sanctum
I liked the Kyrian one, you can use mounts in bastion
@limber lion kyrian is the best wdym cant fall asleep from the bench from how bright it is
Thatās my problem with bastion - way too bright for me
Just use the darkmoon potion

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?
Yup
@limber lion have you re-crafted doomblade on cloak and zoldyck on leggings?
We can't recraft on cloak yet
We get the slot when 9.1 drops
I'm just waiting for now
Ah okay
So Iāll just save my soul ash š
Need to see the sims before making any hasty decisions :p
Also can I just craft doomblade on cloak at rank 5? skipping other 9.0 ranks
When 9.1 comes out that is
Yes, but you need the r4 base item pretty sure.
Ah is there not new base pieces for the new upgrades?
thats nice i really like necrolord
Yeah ok I wonāt do anything yet then haha
Just saving soul ash and money for 9.1
Yeh, it's a safe bet
And soul ash is 80% increased in 9.1 š
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
you're not dumb š
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
Open with SBS but save the other charges for gemstone windows
And my DB is also on shoulders until 9.1 so donāt feel bad
Why did your message just load Oxi. Sorry for the double post
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
because your beauty is just too much for discord to comprehend, so it delayed my message @thorny pond

Venth is viable for prog
And aww youāre too pure for this world
ya but i love boner spike
To be clear, that's in ST. In AoE you dump them on each mob early to help get bleeds up on everyone.
"dot up whatever doesn't have the bleed on it" 
I covered that 
If I already have doomblade on hands, is it really worth crafting another cloak?

bone spike legendary looks interesting
In 9.1 probably
With domination sockets we are speculating as much
does the dmg increase to envenom on doomblade leggo benifit from the dot from sbs
But we're still waiting to see wht happens
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.
Yes it does
if you really wanna beat the crowd, you could buy the cloak leggo now
and just sit on it
Yeh, I did that as well
I did it also.
It'll probably sell for more in 9.1 regardless
Worst case scenario you make some gold on it
^
Even if it won't be the best choice for us
I've considered buying a few more to sell in 9.1 haha
is assa looking strongest for raiding? or too ealrier to tell?
Too early to say
It's looking the best.
same, 8k for 235 cape, super cheap
afaik sub ST is looking super close though
It's looking great though
appreciate the help guys/gals and for not bashing me
We don't do that here
At least
Not much
Usually.
Sometimes.
some class discords are very toxic
cough DH discord cough
lol
We're a family here.
The paladin discord can get messy every once and a great while
Yep sure is.
worst case I'm sure you can pawn it off to an alt or a friend
How much does your cloak cost on your server?
What's up JJ? 
let me log in and check, I haven't been online since tuesday
30k for me when I bought it
For all that are interested. Transmog channel: Last COMP (etition) before 9.1 will happen! More on it this monday. If you want you can already start prepping a mog. You will have roughly one week to apply and on monday the 28th we will have a new winner! More info on monday! š
Everything's quite high and inflated on my server
i make most of my gold from tbc classic

And the warrior Lego I was trying to get was 66k š
23k on area 52
Go apply boys, JJ's comps are legit
people trade a live token (190k?) for classic 250-350g which is like nothing since i have a 4 tailor CD alts
Yeah, I'm only comparing my current server to my previous one
Tome was 40g
Now it's 280g for me
which server? My leggo prices are horrible
Stormreaver, came from Kazzak
Why did you move from kazzak?
Because I got into a guild on Stormreaver
23k
Ah I forgot people transfer to join guilds lol
on Area 52 - US
Yeh
So how many of you are going necro?
accidentally exposed my riches 
Flexing his money lol
Relikar beat you to it heh
oh
Wtf you're stacked

Pretty sure everyone is necro but me lol
I'm still Venth
We're not going necro
I like exsang
We are already necro
er
There's no thing such as WoWAnalyzer for assa right?
Not really.
afaik wow analyzer hasn't been updated for rogues since like legion
yea i know
This discord is the closest thing to Wowanalyzer
that's why i asked
@limber lion 
I'm just trying to see if I'm doing anything wrong in my ST rotation
my rogue is 218 and im getting like 80s
just throw your logs in here, big brain @limber lion is our resident wowanalyzer bot
I hate spam mails, do they actually work
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/qv2Q69PzhyD7NraT#fight=4&type=damage-done this was one of my good pulls
Yeh, throw your logs here and we'll take a look
I got one too-!
@thorny pond TWINSIES 
I think i might have missed a shiv because i used it too late between pillars, but other than that idk
I feel like weāre two hot chicks at a bar getting hot on by the same creepy dude
lmfaooo
But I'm sure Oxi and the other reg OG's can help out
I might be transferring over there š
from a quick glance: your rotation looks good, like you said 2nd pillar your shiv was a little later in the window but nothing stands out as wrong. Your pillar windows look good
garrote fell off 2 times, rupture 1, your opener can be sbs > snd, you dont need to sbs > mut > sbs. you can shiv 1 extra time before first pillar
you lost 9 combo point from mutilate, remember to finish at max-1
to avoid cp overcap

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
also the MM hunter doing sub 4k is 
writting faster than Ceve 

I'm at my mom's place, just chilling in the sun and enjoying the nature
x2
Oxi is a beast, don't need to worry bout nada when he's here
I'm not a beast, I'm just good at regurgitating the info you smart folks say
and being clear when I'm unsure about something 
Back to chillin' I go, peacekies 
enjoy the sun 
also remember to use both sbs charges every gemstone window, even on pull. looks like you used almost correct, you just forgot gemstone proc a couple seconds after the pull too
flaggelationchan uwu
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,
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
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
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
not sure which is better, if you check top huntsman log you will see people doing both
my
behind dotting everything up is that its more energy, and that's always a positive
right now I dot both before vendetta. but in the first weeks I did the normal burst before dotting the dog
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
I have a confession fellow assa rogues
I personally dot both up with Ruptures before pumping
the second question, I would garrote and rupture the new goliath, even if vendetta is up on boss
Then garrote when it's off cd
all of my good heroic parses outside of hungering.... are pirate parses 
Same.
you're shaming our family oxi
I know 
just tell us you did 1 outlaw meme clear 3months ago and none since
not like anyone will check
all my parses are shit tho so I can't really talk about yours
He never said he doesn't play Sin
I've been clean for almost 2 months 
Just that none of his parses are as good as on outlaw
Thank you very much guys
Man probably still grinds sin way more

I know, I know, I just wanted to meme on oxi š¦
Same.
I'm a bit scared of the blood build, i love this spec, but never tried that build
getting a good parse on sin is hard, it's all the tryhard bois playing sin
I know it's better the more haste u have in like the last patch/2 patches usually
all is right in the world now though @bleak sky my humble mythic parses:

Huntsman 

I still see an outlaw
ok Ill let it slide then
There's so many more tryhard pirate boys out there tbh
Just compare the numbers on sin/outlaw players
It's nutty
BUT my assa IO is finally > my pirate io š
I've only pugged mythic on my rogue up until sire, so it's all the shit parses 

damn oxi, pumping those M+
I do like 800 less dps as outlaw 
m+ is some real shit in SL
I did ksm in december and since Ive done like 1 key higher than 16

its definitely not fun
some of those bosses at a 20 are miserable even on fortified weeks
Rogue skips to the new Torghast powers in 9.1?
š?
not fun but gotta have io to sell boosts 
wdym

jeez
why are EU prices so damn expensive
its probably cause all our EU homies are gamers
buncha gamers probably bought the r4s driving up the price
The new m+ seasonal affix is lieutenants around the dungeon that give you Torghast powers
but tbf on area 52 US, r1 and r2 are both 100g and r4 is 23k
Iāve seen some routes try and gather as much powers as you can before you blast through the dungeon


Shroud and invisibility will be meta for sure
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
Ryfie was talking about the meta and like hpal is gonna be the boy without feign or stealth
we wanna craft doomblade on cape because of the sockets right?
yeppers
at least that's what it seems like so far until the 9.1 stuff is implemented into the sims
same but at least now no one can shame us for having doomblade shoulders
I've been bullied in here since March 
it will be our little secret
does it even matter having doomblades on shoulders? it's not like SLG shoulders even exist 
Why are so many rogues taking elaborate planning instead of blindside on mythic sire? I thought our purpose was to execute p3.
blizz took them out of the loot table i'm sure
ep vigor = BIG PARSE
a couple things: multiple targets makes BS less good, EP is good in cleave & aoe, and EP/Vigor is like 30dps (if its even that high for your profile) behind BS/DS
PARSE > PROG (not really, but thatās why you see parses use Doomblade instead of Zoldyckās as well)
Ah I figured
Thats why they are taking CT. I guess they are just trying to pad p1 and p2
Iām a noob, what is parse? Lol
Donāt worry about. Just listen to your raid leader and do all the raid mechanics assigned to you with no problems 
Yep thatās what I do lol
pb is also even worse on sire than on your average boss
CT in ST isn't that far behind PB, and with all the movement on Sire CT is actually the better choice esp when playing zold
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
Maintaining an additional short lived dot on single target for a 10 min fight sounds like aids though
well its still better in p3 which was your original question š
Ah so a high parse means you are doing better than most other rogues in the same fight ?
Whispyr checked out the DPS loss from not maintaining CT in pure ST and it's like 14 dps
anyone knows if phial of putrefaction still will be good?
yep
so if you really don't want to, you technically can skip out on it
thats probably without zold right
i bought a 235 cloak yesterday for 12k 
probably but we gotta see how the new trinkets perform
yeah I'm pretty sure he tested it with doomblade
that's correct, although a lot comes down to how fast you will kill a boss
so CT vs PV is only 14 dps? That is awful.
regarding cloaks I just checked on kazzak there was 1 up for 8k lol bought it just incase 
yeah PB kinda sucks balls
235??
yeah
Lol gg
Probably still giga
imagine 252 phial first vault 

awesome, i know where i will farm my valor now 
still waiting for my 226 
stop my peepee is hard
Valor resets in 9.1
So
Just be aware
watch them give us 1 silver per again
yeah i mean in 9.1 ^^
so I can tilt
probably wont be able to ham in 9,1 anyway since you have a relatively low cap first week
time to spread secondary stat caps
cape 10k 
1000/750 valor probably
anyone comprehend the plan for domination gear/sockets? seems so all over the place
acquire all

okay okay
Buuuuuut gotta wait to see how they play out
cant wait to do normal clears a few weeks in for domination gear
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
Probably unholy dps gem x3 plus 1 fdps and 1 bdps.
As it stands atm you can have rank 1/2/3 and theyāre separate so you can have 5 dps gems
Yes.
Like I literally said
After that
But uhm it's likely
That the multiple ranks
Are a bug
Anyone know if you actually need all 5 of the new sanctum gems to get the bonus or is 3 enough?
But who knows
Yeah stupid realistically
3
All uniques
One of each
At that point they should let you just stack them
I thought you needed like 3 blood to get the bonus
"200 speed" nty I'll take 0.3% more dps
Yes
3 unholy gems
One of each
Should just make it so that you can add a ādomination socketā to X item slot
But 5 inholy wont do anything?
No
And
There are only 3 gems
There are not 5 unholy gems
There's only 3 unique ones
Cev is stacking the speed ones dont tell anyone
and they all drop from raid bosses right?
Hoping that stacking ranks is not a bug, even though it will promote awful degen gameplay
Yes
100% rate?
Tbh imagine a speed set with 5x speed gems
Insane

oy vey
and a leech set 
whats the best 9.1 spec looking like?
Probably similar to conduits
Each specialize in different things
No one best spec
raid and m+ ?
Sin for raiding is likely, Outlaw for m+
Assassination is besy dont lie.
Asasssination is bae.
venthyr sub 
ah ok i havent played since like a month after SL so might go back to sin after doing sub
the darkest horse
They did a but
But
We're missing a lot of stuff
Most havem't been implemented yet
So they can't sim
rogue tcs dont overdo sims before releases usually since its mostly just a waste of time
but some other classes have alot more stuff
Lol
300% isent that much considering it was very underwhelming
@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
No i know lets bring out the pitchforks so were ready to hunt whispyer down when blizzard changes something.
tc = theorycrafting?
yeah
Is simc updated for 9.1 though?
No it is nit
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?
A lot of things are missing implementations
mostly yes
We don't know yet, we cannot test them out.
you can check my pin in #wow-general for status
Cherrios. I guess theree arent to much wow stuffs missing there right?
doubt its both 12% of 8k per cp sounds insane
Errr rogue stuffs*
there is stuff missing
Probably either or
domination sockets f.ex.
But pretty much the same result in dps
and trinekts/etc are not fully implemented
also always expect more changes over time
a lot of stuff is missing
Highly advise against starting your own sim journey in advanced now tbh
Domination is w/e trinkets is a shame though.
is that dungeon trinket still insane in latest journal?
jus check the doc in #wow-general
also
very important, check what simc version raidbots is using to be sure you are up to date
Yeah
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
Im more curious how much dps we will gain from all thst juicy sanctum loot. Almost all the peices have crit/haste.
If you actually want to sim stuff, you need beta raidbots or do it locally
567,94 dps
It's awful
Throw a dart at a board
just wait for 9.1 release
its gonna be alot
so you can use the dropoptimizer
Im throwing myself into a freezer. Its way to warm atm.
9.1 release gives you a full week to sim your stuff
(raid is released one week later)
Likely seeing tuning as well during heroic week before mythic.
Its always a tuning patch just before mythic.
hard to predict
I mean, it happens pretty much every time
but yes, its usual that we see tuning with mythic release
But yeh
blizz did state in the dev interview that they want to do weekly tuning changes
but mainly to underperforming specs
Yeah but small indie company
so assuming they rly do that we will have far more changes in power dynamic
They have also said that they do not want to do balancing/tuning during the first weeks of mythic raids
but, we won't know before it happens (or not if they stay with their old strategy)
They dont want to tune class first mythic week causr they wanna tune booss
i think the idea is to buff underperformers only
Kek
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
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
Highly doubt they will tune any op specs down during wfr
They let stuff like echoing void stay
Because they knew it would mess things up
they did it in cn
To which class
Hunter got a small nerf
not really, because you just send it on CD
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
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
Assuming your snd drops, do you get your 5 bleeds up first before refreshing snd?
I keep hearing different things about that. I'd agree with you though
have you seen @warped temple 's m+ guide?
it's the best resource we have for assa aoe/m+

9.0.5 Ryfieās Assassination (Sin) M+ Guide Stream: Twitch.tv/RyfieTV Discord: https://discord.gg/x9kfdwr Intro Hi guys! This is my take on how I play Sin Rogue in M+. I donāt think this is the only way to play it, but itās certainly been how Iāve been approaching M+ and successfully achieving cer...
Lol love the name
I do not remember this whatsoever
afaik that was pvp only
Only aimed shot being nerfed in pvp or something
they did nerf a shit ton of bosses in 9.0.2 though
Ye
yeah you only fok on 3 if you need to apply poisons
In aoe you ct regardless
Does CT apply poisons?
Yes
it can yea
No.
you can move and make ct hit different targets
Then you CT twice to hit the rest
same with shuriken storm
run to the other side of the pack and CT and pray to the rng gods
exactly lol
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
hello, where would someone start if they were trying to decide between playing assassination or outlaw for 9.1 ?
If there's 4 targets missing CT, you're ticking off the condition box that says "ct when target is afflicted by it"
!guide
Watch some streams
a lot of ct's power is in the dot
I'd give them both a shot and see what you like more
you don't want to spam it
@gusty mirage ive played both in the past but I was just wondering if there were any logs available for ptr testing or something
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
if you're looking at the damage output for raid, sin beats out outlaw afaik unless something's changed
outlaw is behind on pure st
probably 2-3T cleave too ya?
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
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
What lego do we run in m+?
@vestal wren what disqualifies ass in ranking? Isn't it projected for number 1 melee?
m+ zzoldyck
wdym munky?
ty
i did say assassination is ahead of outlaw not vice versa
right now zoldyk's, 9.1 probably zoldyk's after the deathspike nerf, but we won't know for sure just yet
I mean assassination in the world first race. Don't u think ass would be included if not the majority of melee in raid?
zold/doomblade both works fine in m+
Doomblade for ToP and plateful, zoldycks rest
doomblade is no no outside of plague and top
was about to say that you will need to be carefull with it ^^
zold is probably the "you can't go wrong" choice
^
@warped temple great guide š
Okay cheers. Am i safe going necrolord for 9.1?
both sub/sin are aout equal on output and very high on the sims
More than safe
Doing both raids and m+ (as assass
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
Necro is best allrounder, way ahead in aoe and tiny bit behind venthyr in ST @keen swallow
Necro king yeh
Okay ty
Why Necro is jumping few places in ST since 9.1 ?
Is this still better than NF in ST ?
we had a more in detail discussion about necro/venthyr earlier today
Fair. Cloak immunity will only get us so far
ā¤ļø
^ 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
also assa does not have good conduits for aoe/cleave so fractures is big gains for them
katar and deadly poisons are meh
Looking at pins should i recraft doomblade on cloak or dont bother and keep using gloves?
Necro is the best choice because it beats any other covenant in any other situation but pure single target
1t venth
Apparently the Lego slot choices are very marginal
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

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

Are they having tea?
time to make the oprah meme but with necro
Main reason u want legendary on cloak is that gloves have domination sockets in the raid
Damn @limber lion

Maybe I will go necro lol but I do enjoy my flaggelation
naturally, but they also said you smell bad so you have to kill at least 1
It's a video game in the end

Yeah true, Iām doing heroic raiding only and light mythics canāt be that different
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
you'll also play better if you like what you're playing
Yeh, just play what you want my guy
True but I am sweaty and rather just quietly hate blizzard for the original nerf of bonespike from beta
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
I was venthyr but damn sbs feels and looks good.
Playing something that you enjoy goes a long way
SBS is super fun to play
Would it be worth waiting for 9.1 to drop first before I craft zoldyck?
Even if it's numerocally slightly behind
It just seems kind of overwhelming if you've never played it outside of the campaign
Just no idea about leggos now D: too much up in the air atm
Yes
Prob wait on crafting any leggos
You should honestly wait before doing anything too hastily
Wait after the first week of 9.1
Before crafting stuff
Yeah, i just wanna check what pieces to buy. If legs are cheap il grab them.
Go for it
Iāve got doom blade at 190 and celerity at 225 for m+
got a 235 cloak for 9k for doomblade
ugh.. someone jacked all the prices up on A52 for cloak and wrists..
Thatās good they are 56k on my server
probably someone in this discord....
Is the covenant Lego worth it for 9.1? Or is it the only option? Like can we run zoldycks and doomblade?
I'd do it if I thought about it
it seemed like it'd beat out zoldyk in m+ before the nerf
now we don't really know for sure
Hence wait for sims?
Always
