remember when Ion promised rogue raid utility in 9.1? i do -.-

limber lion
#

They talked about rogue needing raid utility

#

but they never promised it.

dapper flint
#

im pretty sure he did in the interview

limber lion
#

He didn't.

soft shale
#

he did lawyer speak

#

as in affirmed the problem

#

and left it there

tame ravine
#

until it's in the patch notes, don't cross your fingers

limber lion
#

He said "I'm aware that rogues are lacking in that department and we're looking for ways to help rogues in that department. Smoke bomb maybe?"

#

Never said

dry void
#

they already gave it, shiv dispells enrage again/s

frigid kestrel
#

The conversation loss relevance the second you swapped your initial stance to potential. You went from "Sin **Needs **" to "To gain Sins full potential" you need a good coordinated group. And legit two of the best rogues are telling you different (Ryfie and Cev, not me im trash )

limber lion
#

"We're adding smoke bomb"

bleak sky
#

Are you the azralon rogue?

little sky
#

yeah, i'm totally not a world first kind of player XD yet when i think all "issues" could have been solved pretty easiliy, it makes me wonder why the whole system is in place šŸ˜› i mean, covenats are nice, enjoyed all the stories and i like the different miningames. but i'd have separated performance/player power from amenities/cosmetics.

bleak sky
#

Oh that's just blizzard design for you kekw

yeah i know

limber lion

winged basin

I was gonna say that

but I really had to think about it KEKW KEKW

#

my inevitable ban from the server, because I answered deez nuts to a question. That would be about my luck

spice spire
#

Nah, it just goes on your quarterly review

gloomy fern

frigid kestrel
#

You guys should have seen the scaling argument last night, it legit hurt my brain

thorny pond
#

You're all alone in here bud

frigid kestrel
#

I thought it was a troll, but dude legit said that Wars and Rogues scale harder with more primary stats then other classes

soft shale
#

what do yoy mean rogue and warrior always scale

#

right

#

he was our messiah

frigid kestrel
#

Like we benefit from Agi more then anyone else can.

bleak sky
#

Wait is mizutani not trolling?

spice spire

99% sure mizu is trolling

If I had to answer all of these questions I’d probably mald

gloomy fern
#

im just a lost rogue seeking wisdom

thorny pond
#

There is no wisdom in bis lists

winged basin
#

Like 0 ^

dapper flint
#

i legit dont know what to do with a bis list: like if you get 233 gloves dropped you just 'aw shit i dont know if they are bis or not so i vendor them'?

thorny pond
#

Bis lists are the fortune cookies are class discords

gloomy fern
#

why

soft shale
#

i mean there are bis lists but they would have m+ gamba items

soft shale
#

so why bother

#

just equip high ilvl

thorny pond
#

bis lists are the buzzfeed articles describing your harry potter house

#

Sim yourself

#

that's your bis list

ceverions sim dont look trust worthy

gloomy fern

not sure if i should follow

dapper flint

like bis list wont make items magically appear in your backpack, and if you get items - you could just sim it

And I thought I was happy with my 6.4K at 215 man pepehands

hmm yes

WHAT THE FUCK LOL

limber lion

limber lion

gloomy fern
#

i only do 1.5 billion

spice spire
#

Of course, the trinket is all I need for dam

toxic quail
#

Speaking of strength enchant on hands, I had a random Rogue straight flaming me in Oribos for having that enchant on.
All I said was ā€œDo you even lift, bro?ā€

limber lion
#

ah okay, getting there'

gloomy fern
#

but i dont understand all these guys flaming my bis list

thorny pond
#

there is no bis list

limber lion
#

Infexious unironically has one

soft shale
#

yea man tell them you pump iron

limber lion
#

He made a google sheet.

#

for 9.1

tulip nacelle
#

800k margin seems unreliable

thorny pond
#

If you color coded it I will call the police and have you arrested

gloomy fern
#

has the guild colour made a bis list you say

toxic quail
#

And it’s not the first time. People get so tilted over a strength enchant on rogues. Haha like how does that make someone feel anyway other than giggly?

cobalt pelican
#

they only invest in sub rogues

soft shale
#

i miss the craft enchant so much

#

i did 200 oils the other day

gloomy fern
#

i hear the sub rogue in colour is very old

limber lion
#

Yeh, bound to have a heart attack at any point

toxic quail
#

I bet that took you like 30 mins Hach. šŸ˜‚

thorny pond
#

about as long as it takes to perfectly cook a hotpocket

toxic quail
#

Hahaha that’s legit the best comment I’ve seen in so long.

#

Cause they just never want to cook properly.

one day i tried to make tamales

I’m just a fuckin simp SIMP

spice spire
#

Unlucky

fiery cape
#

I just swapped from sub to sin, venthyr to necro. What do folks run for m+? Vigor vs MfD? Poison bomb vs crimson tempest? I still have low haste, since I stacked mastery for sub, so I feel a bit energy starved when it comes to keeping up ct and bleeds, without completely neglecting envenom

so fae is ded for optimal sin

spice spire

Correct. NL/venthyr are the two best

final star

Fae was alive?

spice spire

Reality is all of them are fine, Kyrian is the worst by a bit but NF is only worse by a little bit

Tbf I started as NF outlaw

I started out as venthyr kekw

Now necro goated

I started as Kyrian outlaw. Felt horrible and deleted the char. Now here we are

spice spire

Venthyr > NF > Venthyr > necrolord

NF was never goated fax

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

doing prog on rogue in 9.1 for first time in SL, what will the prog leggo be or is the difference minimal?

#

probs not CE

gusty mirage
#

Fine crafting doom then

spice spire
#

Pins say Doomblade, gonna think Doomblade; however, with unlimited soul ash you can make whatever r4 as needed

distant cypress
#

god if i remember correctly, i only have zoldyk, and from what ive seen, DB is bis now

soft shale
#

yea just think about wich one to slap with vessel

#

because they are going to be more than 200k

copper sun
distant cypress
#

i will have to do torghast

distant cypress
#

kill me

gusty mirage
craggy oak
#

we will be swapping slots?

gusty mirage

Or just make a r1 to play around with it if you have the gold to spare

gusty mirage

#

rip, ty

distant cypress
copper sun
spice spire
#

Correct

gusty mirage
copper sun
#

Although Im not sure if the Necro legendary will be more BIS than Doomblade

final star
#

Is farming soul ash for an hour or two

gusty mirage
#

ā€œI know we promised you tier sets but here are sets of domination gems insteadā€

soft shale
#

actually might as well begin farming the ash now

final star
#

Really that big of a burden

distant cypress
#

too bad Fae legendary is legendary TRASH

gusty mirage
soft shale
#

you will farm torg anyway until dr

#

because of sockets

#

dont worry

#

dashing is the only leggo that may overtake doomblade right now

final star
#

To be fair

#

I think the argument

gusty mirage
final star
#

Is about cost

#

not the soul Ash cost

#

Cos everyone running around with 10k in their bags like some peasant

soft shale
#

yea well vessel will cost 200k or more when it becomes available

gusty mirage
#

Base item cloaks soared to like January levels

gusty mirage
#

It’s kinda nuts

final star
#

I do torghast every week on at least 3-5 characters

soft shale
#

so $$ to be made

final star
#

It's not hard

copper sun
#

Base item cloak 235 ilvl is 18k atm which isnt too bad tbh

little sky
#

it's not hard, it's boring as hell

bleak sky
#

Did you plebs not buy out the market when the patch date was released? kekw

craggy oak
#

time investment for that sucks though

final star
#

It's not boring, it's fast as fuck

soft shale
#

yea well dont worry depending on server it will be more than 75k

final star
#

20mins a wing easy

gusty mirage
#

Not about difficulty, going to work every morning isn’t hard either. But it doesn’t make me want to go peepoGiggles

raven jolt
#

You can directly craft lvl5 or 6? Or not?

distant cypress
soft shale
#

i already bough all cloaks on draenor below 25k

raven jolt
#

So if you can skip lvl1-4, why bothering crafting them.

soft shale
#

you cant

bleak sky
#

Swooped the azralon market, bought all the 235 cloaks for 7.5k peepohappy

soft shale
#

vessel only gives 2 lvls

#

so unless you want to use more than one that is going to cost 200k or more a pop

#

you buy r4

gusty mirage
#

Because you need at least a rank 1 to get the 5

final star
#

Make rank 4 and upgrade

gusty mirage
#

At least I believe all you’d need is the soul ash for the other ranks

final star
#

Can't just buy the upgrade

gusty mirage
#

But r4 -> r5 is the safest route

echo geyser
distant cypress
#

i see lego system became more of a cancer than it already was

gusty mirage
#

I think you can skip 2-4 by just having the soul ash available. I’ll check it on ptr today

final star
#

How's it more cancer

#

Make r4

bleak sky
#

I just want to be able to use 2 leggos man

final star
#

Upgrade it

drowsy coral
#

"I want gear but I don't wanna play for it TacoRiot "

echo geyser
#

u can still craft instant 235 in 9,1 right?

final star
#

Ye

gusty mirage
#

Yeah

low wedge
#

U can do that rn also no?

echo geyser
#

what is this need rank 1 to get 5 then

bleak sky
#

Yup, just needs 5150 soul ash

echo geyser
#

for new slots?

bleak sky
final star
#

Because you cannot buy rank 5/rank 6

#

You have to own the legendary and upgrade it

gusty mirage
#

You need an existing lego to craft a r5 I believe

little sky
#

i haven't any rank 4 leggo lol

final star
#

Then get one

gusty mirage
#

Can’t just make a r5 out of the blue

little sky
#

stopped at 3 and it was enough

final star
echo geyser
#

ah

#

but u can go from 4 to 5

#

same thing right

gusty mirage
#

Yea

echo geyser
#

kk

final star
#

Yes

echo geyser
#

doomblade cloak isnt out yet right?

little sky
#

rank 6 if you do everuthing i think you can get at 3rd reset or 4th

gusty mirage
#

I’m going to see if you can upgrade a rank 1 to rank 5 on ptr

bleak sky
#

Cloak only on 9.1

#

Rogues be buying up all the cloaks. Doomblade, obedience for sub.

echo geyser
#

i guess i am out late then its prob gonna be expensive af

scenic root
#

My realm, r4 for 5k

echo geyser
#

o wow

little sky
#

tailoring leggos are no expensive at all

scenic root
#

Yeah, cheapo. You could be toxic, but all r4 for cheap now and on 9.1 sell high... Didn't hear that from me though

echo geyser
#

u guys plan on making zoldycks too for raid?

#

the ones that dont already have it ofc

gusty mirage

18k on my server

Mmhm, that's not a low pop lmao

Just a buncha try hards lmao

And people buying like 10 to try to make a quick buck

#

hahaha

scenic root
#

Stormrage was 5k last week, haven't checked in a few days

echo geyser
#

consumables going up a lot too then i guess

rancid pier
#

It’s people playing the market because they know people going to need it

final star
#

The reason tailoring items are so cheap is because of night fae

delicate bone
#

same idea behind scalping, easy way to make money

scenic root
#

Not even, cloth drops for everyone

final star
#

Every mf getting shit loads of cloth from niya

#

And the majority are NF

#

As well as mission table giving a metric fuck ton of it

#

Compared to other items

scenic root
#

Leather needs to have a profession, same as mine and herb. You get a stack of cloth just doing world quests

echo geyser
#

for slots that can be socketed its better to do it now right?

#

the legos

#

or is there any point banking stygia

final star
#

Idk how useful stygia gonna be

#

But I'll hazard

#

Useless

tulip nacelle
#

yea do it now, we don't know if you can do it in 9.1

final star
#

You can do it in 9.q

echo geyser
#

i heard s2 has diff sockets ?

final star
#

9.1

tulip nacelle
#

stygia will be some catchup alt gear so

little sky
echo geyser
#

so got 20k stygia rn

final star
#

There is sockets from torghast

#

And new currency on Korthia can buy them

#

And I assume you can still slot lower ilvl gear with Korthia ones

tulip nacelle
#

yes... so stygia would not be used for them

final star
#

Just has a higher ilvl cap

bleak sky
#

No reason to grind venari rep right now

final star
#

Like May be good to get socket for a new r4 lego from venari

#

But doubt anything else past that

bleak sky
#

Items can have both a Domination socket and regular socket, right?

final star
#

No idea tbh

soft shale
#

cant confirm

#

new socket shit from ven ari was not available

gusty mirage
little sky
#

yeah, was kinda planning on that šŸ˜›

spice spire
#

The octillionaire grindset prayge

little sky
#

ok, purple shards are like 110g on my server. so it's a 3k investment or less for the last 15 points.

#

i'll have to spend a lottle more in oribos shards because blizzard, but that's not an awful lot.

#

but then i'll be done.

echo geyser
#

wait a second wasnt it pointless to buy a r4 cloak if u can just get r1 into r5

soft shale
#

well yea if you want to spend 1 mil in vessels

gusty mirage
#

why would you spend 1 mil?

soft shale
#

well not 1 mil

echo geyser
#

what is a vessel

soft shale
#

but at least 200k

nocturne geode
#

how are those daggers off slyvannas?

gusty mirage
#

you know what

#

let me check

#

I gotta buy a r1 and copy a character over

soft shale
#

you can upgrade the base with vessels

#

from r1 to r4 if you want

echo geyser
#

or normal soul ash?

soft shale
#

but they are hard fought

soft shale
#

you would need a r4 base then

echo geyser
#

sorry i mean to r5

soft shale
#

oh that one is with cinders

#

you can upgrade 1 and have some left

#

its 510 cinders per week

#

r4-5 costs like 3xx

#

then 5-6 its 16xx

#

dont remember exact number

echo geyser
#

so why does it cost money for r1 to 5

soft shale
#

there are 2 parts of a legendary

#

the base and mats

#

the vessel just does +2 level

#

to your base

nocturne geode
soft shale
#

but you still have to pay ash and cinders if it ends up more than r4

delicate bone
#

3 rogues on our roster and all 3 are different covenants lmfao, gonna be an interesting time

gusty mirage
#

this new legendary system in 9.1 sounds dumb

spice spire
#

Pending spec/os all of you could be correct

soft shale
#

when you win remember to make then trade dagger

delicate bone
#

the new legendary systems sounds pretty simple, idk why everyone over complicates things honestly

gusty mirage
#

why tf can't they just keep it the same

soft shale
#

to make you the alpha

echo geyser
#

should i just buy r4s then no point in just r1 s?

gusty mirage
#

get a higher baseitem from crafting + make the r5

soft shale
#

i mean on mythic week you can have 3 rank 5s

gusty mirage
#

yeah I'd just nab the r4 @echo geyser

soft shale
#

or wait a week more to get a r6

delicate bone
#

if they let you use soul ash for r5/6 it would be awful lol

soft shale
#

very important you do the maw shit

#

else you wont get a r6 on 4th week

gusty mirage
soft shale
#

yea you get cinders for the hunt

#

and doing other thing but i forgot what it was

bitter canyon
#

@soft shale should we be doing maw stuff right now?

#

Is Stygia useful in 9.1?

soft shale
#

i mean if you wanna craft leggos sure

#

although you will drown in stygia

#

we will need to do a lot of layer 12 for socket upgrades

Hello, I played outlaw for 9.0.0/9.0.5 and considering Sin for 9.1. I was wondering what is the rationale behind crafting Doomblade on cloak? Is it because of the loot available from the new raid? I had it crafted on hands prior to 9.1

no dom sockets

Most UI's follow the same concept of

  • Chat on the bottom left
  • Damage meters on the bottom right
  • Map/buffs/debuffs on the top right
    -Weak Auras in the middle.

what's that 2nd bar under what looks like Afenar's weak auras?

Looking to return for 9.1. Is it best to respec necro now or is there any special catch up for rerollers on patch release?

quaint carbon
#

real gamers hide interface

limber lion
#

It takes 1-2 days to get Necro up to 31+ for the last soulbind traits,

cyan kite
#

Will normal sockets just be random chance in 9.1 or will there be another item to add them?

limber lion
#

We already have renown catchup in place, but even more so in 9.1

limber lion
cobalt pelican
#

the sooner you go necro the more likely you are to be able to be venthyr if relevant somewhere early in the tier

woven ruin
#

Can you use weak auras with blizzards default ui?

abstract flicker
#

so i am confused a bit. why everyone getting cloak r4 crafted? is it not better to get the mats and that shit u need to upgrade for r5? or we gonna instant swap to r4 cloak doom legendary?

limber lion
abstract flicker
#

oh ok makes sense ty

safe rover
limber lion
#

Venthyr is still the second best choice overall and a lot of people prefer Venthyr to Necrolord.

#

It's still the better choice for pure st.

quaint carbon
#

time to yonk a R4 cloack then

safe rover
#

R4 cloak because its already known to be bis right?

limber lion
#

Well anything can change.

mint anvil
#

NGL, been renown grinding necro atm and think I'm one of those guys who prefers venth. Doesn't hurt to get necro to 40 tho and get the campaign outa the way

limber lion
#

But currently it is looking like the best choice, yes.

hazy crater
#

You don't really need to craft a r4 now afaik

#

you just get a r5 or r6 base later

#

that is if you already have that legendary / dont need it before you can get r5 or r6

cobalt pelican
#

for the 20k gold or whatever it is to buy a cloak right now unless you're dirt poor there's no reason not to have one in your bags

#

(or multiple, depending)

god knows what the vestiges are going to be price wise/unlock rate wise when the patch actually hits

simple folio
#

Hi folks, im looking to maybe swap from WW to Sin in 9.1. For m+ how does Sin Compare to WW and Outlaw? I read Necro is the best covenant, does it make any sense at all to run Venth in m+? Sorry, i know this question has been asked a trillion times by now probably but i couldnt find any info on how it will compare in 9.1 to other specs

odd python
#

look @ pins

quick vale
#

stay WW.

gusty mirage
cobalt pelican
#

for 9.1 most of it is just spitballing, but there's nothing that makes sin look particularly like it's getting better since deathspike was already not amazing and got nerfed to the point of unusability

#

and venthyr sounds pretty bad for keys

simple folio
#

I was aware that Outlaw is better, but how close is it? Is Sin absolutely trash or close behind Outlaw? WW is probably gonna be decent in 9.1 but will fall off the more stats players get

#

Gotcha thanks

odd hazel
#

if people say you cant they are just lieing to you

#

because meta

umbral rapids
#

i mean depends on the content you're doing

odd hazel
#

nah

umbral rapids
#

chances are it doesn't matter what you play

odd hazel
#

sin does not do badly at all

#

if you believe that

quick vale

everything can do +15s. play what you like, if you care about numbers, you're going to play outlaw or another class šŸ˜„

odd hazel
#

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

umbral rapids

regardless

scenic root
#

Sin can easily do 20+

odd hazel
#

i dont know why people have this impression sin is bad in M+

umbral rapids
#

if you're not doing omega high keys it probably doesn't matter what spec you're playing

odd hazel
#

but sin can easily do what outlaw can.

#

outlaw is the better spec yes, but sin is not bad

limber lion
quick vale
#

sin is great if you know how to play it.

umbral rapids
#

besides sin vs outlaw, i mean that for pretty much any spec in the game

limber lion
#

There are no rank 5 or rank 6 base items to buy.

cobalt pelican
#

unless it's changed recently they're upgraded at the point of crafting

#

so having a rank 4 base item doesn't matter too much, besides that you'll use it for the first week/2

hazy crater
cobalt pelican
#

depending on your lego and how many you're building

hazy crater
#

not base items

scenic root
#

It also depends on your group. You have a WW or a warrior, that outlaw isn't doing anything good for trash. That was my issue other day. Played a key as outlaw and all my cleave dmg was useless, struggled on bosses with less ST dmg.

limber lion
#

but you cannot craft a doomblade cloak currently anyways

spice spire
wind totem
#

How far behind is NF for 9.1? Is it a big difference? I want to know if I should switch now or if I can wait a bit. How much will I be hindered?

cobalt pelican
#

realistically it's just going to be like

limber lion
#

You can check the pins, they'll be posted there when they are finished

cobalt pelican
#

you craft a r4 doomblade cloak day 1, do hc and don't get shit/have not enough dom sockets to care, then upgrade it anyway

limber lion
#

If you don't have a legendary, there is no reason to craft it on gloves/shoulders

#

even if you don't get a single dom item.

#

Even if you want to craft it d1, you should craft it on cloak

#

regardless.

cobalt pelican
#

ya

#

it's going to be an inevitable move over anyway, that's why most people just have the ash/item ready

limber lion
#

Ye

#

I know I'm sitting on my Doomblade gloves for the first week or two

#

And will create the r5 cloak after heroic tuning, if it remains the dominant choice.

#

No reason to rush anything tbh

#

Would suck crafting a r5 Doomblade cloak for Dashing to pull ahead a week later.

cobalt pelican
#

myeh, i doubt it'll be down to any tuning changes at this point, every time i've waited for heroic week tuning there's been either nothing or 1 bugfix, but there's no downside to waiting i guess

shadow tusk
#

SLG Cloak think

limber lion
cobalt pelican
#

fair i guess

limber lion
#

We're still missing loads of implementations, so we'll see apl improvements over the first few weeks.

sour wraith
#

it's not like crafting an r5 legendary is going to make or break heroic kills for most guilds anyways

limber lion
#

Some people were theorizing using Dashing with the new dagger, because Dashing = more energy = more combo points = more damage from dagger

#

And the gap between Dashing/Doomblade with the current apl is like 20 dps, if that.

limber lion
#

And well, anyone who likes to minmax for whatever reason it may be.

sour wraith
#

for funzies

cobalt pelican
#

i think a lot of guilds did their first hc raid with no legendary on half of their raid

#

in nathria

#

so

limber lion
#

ye

north basin
#

lets see last boss tuning. maybe r5 leg will be a hefty blow on its progress curve xD

#

for a lot of midrange guilds

limber lion
#

Highly doubt that you will even see or feel the difference between a r4 and r5 legendary to be honest.

north basin
#

its like +15 level jump for whole raid. dunno if it counts as +1 for overall itemlevel of char

Someone messing up their opener will affect the dps more.

Getting mechanics on the big boys will affect the dps more.

im pretty sure its a weekly lockout

# limber lion Someone messing up their opener will affect the dps more.

totally agree on most of the things u mentioned which affecting our deeps e.g boss moving crit rating/messing up rotation. but item level is item level, in 1kkk iterations 15itemlevels on guild raid items will have greater chance on boss succesfull kill, well i believe so, like 60% chance vs 61% =) for example

sonic schooner
#

i cant wait the 30

#

so i ll be able to wait 9.2 in peace

north basin

anyway anything we do we dont do for 100% , we just try to increase odds

WIth my guild I remember wiping on Sire at like 5%

so wait, how exactly does that Tazavesh normal to hardmode cheese reset thing work? I'm dumb

btw its first thing iam saying to my mates (u wont notice 1 heroic to mythic item increase, work on your rotation) . but i allow these sayings for myself here

xD

Has there been discussion about what domination traits will be best?

limber lion

Yeah

vestal wren

you can only use each of the traits once if i didn't understand it wrong

arctic walrus

@balmy condor have you been able to do any work regarding the sockets

vestal wren

this means you will always use all 3 dps trais

Yes fuu.

and then just fill the rest with whatever gives the bonus you want

iam waiting for some discovery cheese combination which will make us top charts xD some bonus trait trinket combowombo

you can't compare total population. just as a quick example if you consider the top 100 world guilds, only 14 are alliance, the population of people willing to commit to high end pushing just tend to be gathered on horde

It’s a good amount of main stat

Yeah, it won't be something you're wearing deep into Mythic prog, but it'll probably be strong for the first couple of weeks

would u say its BIS

Unless you have sims I don’t know about using items that aren’t implemented @vestal wren

It has the potential to be BiS day 1 considering it's a quest reward and no other drop is guaranteed

For a spec that wants haste/mastery, could see it as BiS, but doubt it will get released with those current stats
