I haven't seen anything

#

APL wise

fleet anchor
#

I mean

hollow river
#

So you were trying to implement the items into simc

fleet anchor
#

You also gotta sim without the gem bonuses for M+ anyway. Get ready for double the stack charts

hollow river
#

On raidbots

fleet anchor
#

😄

gusty mirage
hollow river
#

Set bonus doesn’t

gusty mirage
#

wow

#

this system's getting even worse the more I read about it

#

alright boys see ya in 9.2 peepoguns

civic trellis
#

9.3 here

hollow river
#

Lol

spice spire
civic trellis
#

XD

gusty mirage
civic trellis
#

AND Q4

spice spire
#

Nah 9.2 > next expansion

gloomy knoll
#

hmmm

civic trellis
#

NAH

gloomy knoll
#

gonna be so many charts lol

fleet anchor
#

Damaging a target increases your damage done to that target by 0.33% for 4 sec, stacking up to 3 times.
Such gameplay much WoW. Many build opportunities.

civic trellis
#

srry caps

gloomy knoll
#

do we even know where we get the gems from

hollow river
#

Raid I think

fleet anchor
#

May as well be a Vers gem

gloomy knoll
fleet anchor
#

lol

gloomy knoll
#

honestly true xD

fleet anchor
#

Your damage is increased by 2% when you have 50% or more health than your target.

#

Is also an awful tooltip that nobody quite understands but alas

gloomy knoll
#

oh i guess they drop from raid bosses

hollow river
gloomy knoll
#

name a more dynamic duo

#

than blizzard and shit tooltips

gloomy knoll
gusty mirage
#

that's impressively bad even by blizzard tooltip standards

hollow river
#

It’s execute dps

gusty mirage
#

I'm going to read that as an extra 2% execute damage and I won't even be upset about it when it turns out to be something different

fleet anchor
#

Like does that mean by percentage? And it kicks in at 66%?
Or by raw% and it kicks in at 50%?

#

Who knows!

gloomy knoll
#

this one seems pog

hollow river
#

This whole patch is centered around execution. The execution of sylvanas

gusty mirage
#

the execution of my will to play the game

gloomy knoll
#

220 primary stat

fleet anchor
#

I'm guessing it's 66% and it's relative personally because that maths out pretty close to the other one

gusty mirage
#

everything's getting executed

hollow river
#

Loooool

civic trellis
fleet anchor
#

But who knows

#

We'll see I guess

civic trellis
#

you know, bosses have millions of hp

hollow river
balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

I bet he knows

hollow river
gloomy knoll
#

honestly

fleet anchor
#

Anything that is % based HP we'll probably have a Sim option for but honestly players are basically at full health MOST of the time

gloomy knoll
#

these gems are so stupid lol

fleet anchor
#

Like my Hateful chain procs heals maybe like 4-5 times per raid haha

gloomy knoll
#

whoever came up with them needs to stop

hollow river
#

I think you say fck the gems

balmy condor
#

it's new and fun and exciting

fleet anchor
#

They are just meant to look way more complex than they actually are

gloomy knoll
#

eh

hollow river
#

Just sim the gear and procs

gloomy knoll
#

i'd much rather just have tier sets

#

like

gusty mirage
#

I'm personally more excited for more torghast

gloomy knoll
#

this seems like shitty tier sets with way more steps

fleet anchor
#

Like this set bonus

gloomy knoll
#

just gimme a damn tier set lol

fleet anchor
#

Winds of Winter - While inside the Maw or Torghast, each time you deal a critical strike, the Winds accumulate 6% of that effect, up to a cap of 180 per critical strike. Every 20 sec, the Winds unleash, dealing Frost damage equal to the total accumulation and and surrounding you in the Winds for 20 sec, absorbing 100% of damage dealt by the Winds.

gusty mirage
#

it's what I was hoping I'd get out of the second tier

fleet anchor
#

It's an awful lot of words to say "your crits do slightly more damage"

gloomy knoll
#

i swear to god

#

WHO WRITES THEIR TOOLTIPS

gusty mirage
#

you're missing the part of the "with an absorb shield too for shiggles"

gloomy knoll
#

like why is it so hard for blizzard to write a tooltip

#

it's actually mind boggling

fleet anchor
#

I'm also looking forward to like

hollow river
#

They’re trying to put a stop to simming lul

gusty mirage
#

I'll send Ion a tweet and ask him if I can write the tooltips

fleet anchor
#

You get all the Frost gems so you can get the Frost set bonus

gusty mirage
#

dw I got you guys

fleet anchor
#

And then in a hotfix they are like

gusty mirage
#

we're both lawyers, we have that bond

fleet anchor
#

"Frost set bonus nerfed, Unholy set bonus buffed"

#

And you have to get all new gems

gloomy knoll
#

oh god pleaseno

hollow river
#

Nsbsbabaknab

gusty mirage
gloomy knoll
#

i don't even want the funky gems

#

to begin with lmao

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

his name is backstab

hollow river
#

Idk

balmy condor
#

he's not good

#

people avoid him

hollow river
#

Wow

balmy condor
#

that's kinda the gameplay

gloomy knoll
#

pepechortle toxic

fleet anchor
#

Which of course

#

You can't just overwrite a gem

hollow river
#

Look my WA for when I eat a feast

fleet anchor
#

That would undermine the MeaNinGfFuL ChOIcE

gloomy knoll
#

you have to buy a gem extractor

hollow river
#

Says eating leave me alone

fleet anchor
#

So when they hotfix the set bonus

gloomy knoll
#

whenever i hear meaningful choice now

fleet anchor
#

You gotta drop like 2500 Stygia to replace your gems

gloomy knoll
#

i just get mad

#

like they unironically gave me a trigger word

gusty mirage
#

if you think about it

gloomy knoll
#

looool

fleet anchor
#

But yeah to be frank

#

It's a lot of hand-waving smoke and mirrors for a system that is basically "you do slightly more damage"

#

They're basically less interesting Azerite minor traits

gusty mirage
#

and people wanted more interesting things OMEGAKEKW

gloomy knoll
#

yea they real dumb

#

i'm not interested in them at all tbh

gusty mirage
#

some even expected them

#

but alas, blizz gonna blizz

gloomy knoll
#

i'd much rather have things liek

balmy condor
#

I think the worst thing is

#

this patch is already shit

gloomy knoll
#

class balance better specs better raid

#

etc

gusty mirage
#

Good thing we waited almost a year for it YEP

gloomy knoll
#

instead of dogshit benthic sockets

civic trellis
gloomy knoll
#

like they got rid of tier sets and suddenly raid gear isn't bis for pve i have an idea

#

give me tier sets back

fleet anchor
#

Hard for me to get too pumped for this patch when they totally dropped the ball on the Rogue raid utility statement

misty holly
#

I just saw, Sin is only "B tier" in 9.1 😭

gloomy knoll
#

rogue will always be B tier

#

until smoke bomb

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

peeporiot give us the utility

balmy condor
#

and we don't even know how bad it's gonna be

limpid plinth
misty holly
fleet anchor
#

Rogue utility is joining Crimson Vial pickpocketing on the "hope they forget about it" shelf

gloomy knoll
#

ok whoever made that chart

#

is obviously smoking crack

#

because outlaw in raid is a meme

balmy condor
#

who is watching systems

fleet anchor
#

Outlaw in raid is fine

balmy condor
#

and the trainwreck is unfolding

gloomy knoll
#

S tier tho?

misty holly
#

it's Icy Veins!

gloomy knoll
#

like what

hollow river
balmy condor
#

that's me

fleet anchor
#

No I assume they are S tier because of M+

balmy condor
#

mr. basic

gloomy knoll
#

i mean sure in M+ they s tier i'll give them that no problem

fleet anchor
#

And before the nerf to the legendary

gloomy knoll
#

but raid i'd give them a high b at best

fleet anchor
#

Since Rogues can't have OP things

gloomy knoll
#

god i'm so mad about deathspike nerf

#

i was looking forward to it so much

balmy condor
#

it's literally a week before the patch and we don't know how half the systems work

#

and the ones we have an idea about

#

seem kinda questionably jank

gloomy knoll
#

was such a fun leggo

balmy condor
#

get a gem, which is unique, but maybe not with other ranks, that you need to remove using a thing that you buy

#

and the gem itself has some weird conditionals and stuff

misty holly
balmy condor
#

buff a gem, now you need to farm x of the things you need to buy to replace the x gems you already slotted

#

but how do you get the gems

#

are they 100%?

#

who knows

#

might be chasing gems all patch

#

cause you had drops in the first clear

#

and then got nothing

hollow river
#

):

civic trellis
#

i liked 9.0 so far

#

maybe because its my first expansion playing wow

balmy condor
#

and that whole thing is on top of the legendaries that you gotta recraft now, which I don't think is a problem really but it is still really annoying

hollow river
balmy condor
#

there's just a seemingly large lack of foresight on this stuff

limpid plinth
#

But for blizzard point of view how nice it is to make new content for players that allways just trash talk everything 😅

civic trellis
#

but i agree that stacking 1% dmg is just...

#

stupid XD

civic trellis
#

you get distracted by something at your window..

#

pum, 1% dmg

#

XD

gusty mirage
fleet anchor
#

There are a lot of things Blizzard could do for 9.1 that would make me excited but most of the things they have put out there aren't in that list 😛

civic trellis
#

😦

hollow river
#

They know we want less systems

gloomy knoll
#

the entire gem system seems shoddy at best

hollow river
#

Less random grind bullshit

trim dirge
#

It's not trash talk, it's valid criticism about what they've been doing for 3 expansions

fleet anchor
#

Like at the end of the day there are two things I have a hard time getting over for 9.1

gloomy knoll
#

and honestly even if it works out fine and isn't too much of a hastle i still honestly don't care about the gems

#

they aren't cool

gusty mirage
#

the point isn't issues with systems, the point is ill thought out systems and trying to reinvent the systems instead of just reusing the dozen we've had over the years

balmy condor
#

that's the last 3 years

fleet anchor
#
  1. The Night Fae legendary being a literal joke
  2. Them totally bailing on the raid utility thing that they specifically talked about
limpid plinth
#

When we get less systems and less grind we are like well there is no content dogshit game

civic trellis
#

tbh what i hate the most is the same mob with same textures but bigger/smaller or different color

#

i swear i've seen like 1000 marrowars XD

hollow river
#

Create more dungeons?

balmy condor
hollow river
#

Or other shit

balmy condor
#

they implement things, and then don't build on them

gusty mirage
#

they just abandon them

#

and start a new system

#

lol

gloomy knoll
#

bring back artifact weapons

civic trellis
fleet anchor
#

But this patch baffles me

civic trellis
#

"hey look we did our job, here is your buff"

#

XD

#

and it went from 0.1 to 0.2

gloomy knoll
#

every rogue was like

gusty mirage
#

just.... fix the systems we have or expand on them. Don't implement a new one just for the sake of implementing a new one

fleet anchor
#

It's taken them the longest amount of time ever to make one of the least impressive patches

#

It's very confusing

#

This patch gets rushed out in 1-2 months? Ok, maybe I don't like it but I get it

civic trellis
gloomy knoll
#

hey we want jack of all trades as a legendary, blizzard was like i see you but what if we made jack of all trades unusable dogshit wrapped in a sulfuric booger hows that you excited huh huh?

trim dirge
#

They're different teams

fleet anchor
#

7 months? And still feels unfinished? Honestly that just confuses me

balmy condor
#

like we had artifact weapons, then we had azerite, then it got removed
we had AP, then we had AP, then we had anima for cosmetics, and then it's probably gonna be gone again
we had mission table in wod, story mission table in legion, then pretty worthless mission table in bfa, then now the mission table is an augment rune farm

#

everything they add

#

they just iterate into a watered version

#

and then remove

gloomy knoll
#

even tier sets

balmy condor
#

the one thing we've gotten out of the last 3 expansions

gloomy knoll
#

azerite was like wonky shitty tier sets

balmy condor
#

is m+

gloomy knoll
#

now we get shitty gems

balmy condor
#

that's the only meaningful thing

#

we have

civic trellis
#

you get in silithys

#

silithus

gusty mirage
civic trellis
#

tbh the only good looking thing is the 2 handed weapon 😦

#

which devours other weapons to buff herself

gusty mirage
#

just idk what the point of making these elaborate systems and then just abandoning them and implementing the diet coke version of them later

gloomy knoll
#

yea is honestly a gigantic waste of dev time

limpid plinth
#

I dunno i just think too complicated prolly because if i do work and customers allways just say my product are shit do i even bother to put effort to it? Even because those customers are so dogshit they buy and use it anyway 😄

gloomy knoll
#

and just a burden on the player base

#

i don't think wow is shit

#

wow is a great game it's very fun

#

but a lot of the things they do are dumb or shit

fleet anchor
#

The gem slot recrafting thing is a prime example of like "wait, you guys didn't think about that?"

gloomy knoll
#

i.e. domination sockets

balmy condor
#

I mean what else do we have from wod-legion-bfa to show for in shadowlands? world quests/emissary system with callings, m+.... I guess sanctums are garrisons?

fleet anchor
#

Legendaries surely should take priority as far as SL systems go right?

#

I don't understand

gusty mirage
#

seemed that way

#

but I wonder if its because of the outlash from legion rng that they overcorrected into making most of them boring af

gloomy knoll
#

i mean the legendary system was fine

#

until they made us recraft them all

balmy condor
#

you could say the soulbinds are recycled artifact weapons I guess, although they're very watered down and not spec specific anymore

gloomy knoll
#

for no reason

balmy condor
#

but there's really nothing left

#

they're rehashing legion for the 3rd expansion

#

and doing it worse every time

woeful juniper
#

well you cant just keep a system that gives power around forever unless you plan on not expanding on it much if at all. At some point it would become to convoluded and stale. Thats the main reason blizzard keeps systems around but waters them down and changes them each addon.

gloomy knoll
#

i mean you can make a sytem

#

and improve on it

#

instead of making a system

#

fixing the bugs and the faults

#

and then when it finally gets good

#

scrapping it completely

#

just makes no sense lol

woeful juniper
#

yes but there is no way a something like the artifact wepons couldve stayed after legion

gusty mirage
#

I mean there's no easy way to do it, but there has to be a better way than the current way they do it

fleet anchor
#

Oh I remembered the 3rd thing I'm annoyed about for 9.1

gloomy knoll
#

i mean you can redo the artifact weapons

#

new traits

#

new paths

fleet anchor
#

Moving away from weapon tokens again

gloomy knoll
#

take out some of the bad shit

fleet anchor
#

And screwing dagger specs

balmy condor
trim dirge
#

that's the problem, they make these systems to intentionally dispose at the end

balmy condor
#

that's fucking ridiculous

woeful juniper
#

i mean yea bfa was a mistake xD

fleet anchor
#

Like lol ok it's great that the new dagger is probably BiS

#

Good luck actually getting it

gloomy knoll
#

literally only reason i have a 233 dagger is because monk tank traded it to me @fleet anchor

#

i have 9 fucking sire kills

#

NINE

gusty mirage
#

I didn't see any weapon token drops PES_Cry

gloomy knoll
#

and i still only have that one dagger

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

now I can not see the dagger drop FeelsGoodMan

fleet anchor
#

It's like getting a Carapace dagger only with half or fewer as many chances because of no bonus rolls 🤣

balmy condor
#

I am very disappointed with shadowlands so far

limpid plinth
#

Just unsub then

fleet anchor
#

And considering it took me like

#

All freakin tier to get Carapace daggers

gusty mirage
#

I think essences was a good system, the only issue with it the vendor for alts was wayyyyy too late

fleet anchor
#

After coining every week

#

I'm not really hopeful

woeful juniper
#

I think shadowlands is fine tbh, the main problem is the long patch. It really made the weakpoints apparent.

gloomy knoll
#

i'm basically as unsubbed as you can get without unsubbing

#

all i do is raid log so we can trial people for next tier

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

in the hopes it won't be as bad

#

also as i said ^

#

wow is a fun game

civic trellis
#

Tbh the next raid is looking pretty good

gloomy knoll
#

it just has a lot of dumb shit in it

civic trellis
#

Really fun

#

and the megadungeon is really really cool

#

have you guys tested it?

wicked briar
#

You can be disappointed with the current state of the game and demand better without unsubbing

limpid plinth
gusty mirage
#

yeah I saw the mega dungeon, it looks cool

civic trellis
#

it could be a new city

strange python
gusty mirage
civic trellis
#

literally is the most cool-looking think i ve seen so far

#

i leveled in legion and the mega-dung is more attractive than suramar imo

hollow river
#

Carapace?

patent monolith
#

Might have to nerf/buff some anima powers for M+ as well

balmy condor
civic trellis
#

also all the secrets

gusty mirage
#

the new seasonal affix for m+ seems kinda dogshit tbh

gloomy knoll
gusty mirage
#

but I guess I'll see if it actually is poop

gloomy knoll
#

alright i guess

#

but pride was god awful

#

and hard cucked routing options

#

so anything without pride is instantly a major improvement

gusty mirage
#

Pride was a super cool concept until the most efficient option was to invis skip it lol

gloomy knoll
#

pride just made routing stale

hollow river
limpid plinth
gloomy knoll
#

when you have to section a dungeon up into 20% chunks and if that 20% procs in the middle of something you just wipe

hollow river
#

I like pride but man you had to tip toe on %

gloomy knoll
#

routing gets very limited

gusty mirage
#

I mean I see why they went that route, reaping was beloved

gloomy knoll
#

yea because it wasn't really an issue

#

you just did the key normally and got to do big aoe sometime

#

you didn't have to hard conform your route and play around it at the risk of bricking an entire key and it didn't scale so badly that you had to skip it to time higher keys lol

gusty mirage
#

idk I hope I'm wrong about 9.1

#

but so far SL has kinda been what I thought it was

gloomy knoll
#

SL is diet legion

#

it's alright

gusty mirage
#

a kinda okay expansion that's best quality is that it isn't bfa

gloomy knoll
#

not that great

woeful juniper
#

i mean legion wasnt all that great early on tbh.

gloomy knoll
#

bfa early on was so bad i quit the game

#

didn't come back till nyalotha

#

fuck uldir

#

and infested

gusty mirage
#

2 great raid tiers

gloomy knoll
#

yea i wish i got to play reaping

#

i'm fine with missing EP

#

benthic and beguiling

#

are just

#

🤢

woeful juniper
#

the way legendarys worked in early legion was god awful xD

#

so maybe SL has a chance

gloomy knoll
#

yea but it was also bugged

#

i'm hopeful for shadowlands but

#

seeing 9.1 i'm kinda moving my hopes to 9.15 or 9.2

#

cuz 9.1 seems

#

alright i guess

#

not super enthused about anything tho

#

lots of dumb decisions made

strange python
#

What do you mean? You didn't like people leveling and deleting a dh to level a new one because their first fast leggo wasn't the ring?

#

Why not?

civic trellis
#

Raid and mega-dungeon seems fun

gloomy knoll
#

yea at least CN was a decent raid

civic trellis
#

Also new creative ways in m+ i guess

gloomy knoll
#

prideful was

#

abhorred though

civic trellis
#

Yeah

#

the first days is like oh wow challenguing shit

#

but you got tired of it in 2-3 weeks

gusty mirage
#

they could've easily fixed prideful, make it max out the damage at key level 15 like bursting damage

woeful juniper
#

i think 9.1 looks ok. Obviously the lego stuff isnt great, but I do think thorghast is gonna be more fun now. granted i will probably not enjoy it anyways.

gloomy knoll
#

torghast is shit content

patent monolith
#

Blizz literally could have done alot of things but they just didnt..sadly for us

civic trellis
#

Well

gloomy knoll
#

it was cool at first but

woeful juniper
#

yea its ass xD

gloomy knoll
#

it got old in like 2 runs

strange python
#

Why are people mad about rogue leggos in 9.1? Is it just having to recraft doomb?

gloomy knoll
#

honestly just shit content

civic trellis
#

A system to recycle some soul ash would been pretty

gusty mirage
#

Torghast is fine, it's the fact that it just feels like a chore that sucks

civic trellis
#

from outdated legos

gloomy knoll
hollow river
gloomy knoll
#

LOL

#

true

hollow river
#

(:

gloomy knoll
#

iuno oxi

#

like binding of isaac

#

is my shit

#

i fucking adore that game

#

torghast is not roguelike

#

it's just boring

gusty mirage
#

I was super excited about roguelike solo content

gloomy knoll
#

same

gusty mirage
#

and I was given... this

civic trellis
gloomy knoll
#

i am currently

woeful juniper
#

well theyre trying to make it more roguelike

gloomy knoll
#

i'll be venth next week

civic trellis
#

but with a necro power you can blast the entire room

#

XD

gloomy knoll
#

i don't think blizzard understands

#

what roguelike means

civic trellis
#

the entire layer i mean

hollow river
#

What is a roguelike

gloomy knoll
#

go look up binding of isaac

#

perfect example

#

actually amazing game

woeful juniper
#

no they dont really. I think the skill tree is a step in the right direction tho

gloomy knoll
#

super fun

balmy condor
# limpid plinth Sorry if so maby its just because people have played this game decades so we hav...

I've played wod through to now, but I dabbled in cata-mop as well, so I'm kinda new I guess. I just see patch come and go, and systems that are cool in theory, but then it gets scrapped, and then it gets added back but less interesting. I loved artifact weapons, and having a new ability for my spec, then it was 1 patch of an essence as a new ability, then now it's an ability from a covenant that's gonna be gone next expansion again. Just doesn't seem like there's an attempt at a long lasting change ever, just a means to get from this raid, this patch, this expansion, to the next. When they prepatch to the next expansion and get rid of all the shadowlands stuff, there's a good chance our characters will be functionally equal to their legion prepatch versions, and that's concerning. An MMO That goes stale is an MMO that people don't play, and the current cycle of changes is very reliant on using the same 3-4 things slightly differently for the expac release, then following with patch systems that get scrapped the next patch, and then scrapping it all at the end of the expac. It's just frustrating that nothing changes over the years, when they had such a good opportunity to keep the artifact abilities, bake in some azerite powers or legendaries, keep tier sets, make mage tower stuff, add some world content outside of world quests, but there just doesn't seem to be much. Azerite shard farming on broken shore was kinda cool for a little bit at least, but there's really nothing like that in bfa, nor shadowlands. There's so many areas they could do something with, and it's just getting tired for me personally

woah

Fresh page baby

Essay in this bit

gloomy knoll
#

whispyr hit em with the MLA format

hollow river
#

What about PoE and Diablo

#

What are those

gloomy knoll
#

arpg's

hollow river
#

Ahh

#

True

gusty mirage
odd hazel
#

i've been playing more diablo at this point

balmy condor
#

poe also bakes basically every league into the base game btw :P

woeful juniper
#

poe waters every league down tho

hollow river
#

Idk what this means

balmy condor
#

sure but you still interact with the stuff

hollow river
#

Every patch?

gloomy knoll
woeful juniper
#

yea true

balmy condor
# hollow river Every patch?

poe has 4 leagues, or 4 patches, and each patch has it's own system, once the patch is done, it goes into the base game as a watered version

hollow river
#

I haven’t played any games in like 10 years guys

civic trellis
#

sounds like a korean game

#

😄

hollow river
#

Ahh ok I get it

woeful juniper
#

i think tge main problem is balancing keeping cool stuff and abilitys and not having way to much stuff an abilitys. If we had everything that have power since wod we wluld need 3 keyboards by now xD

hollow river
#

I’m down for that

#

I’ll go buy two more keyboards

#

Choice is what counts

limpid plinth
woeful juniper
#

you cant just keep adding and not take things away

hollow river
#

Have a fucking poll on what abilities stay and go?

gloomy knoll
#

i mean it's not just adding and taking things away it's completely scrapping systems that took extensive work to finally make them acceptable

patent monolith
#

How about a poll on who stays and goes at blizz dev team that would shake things up

gloomy knoll
#

and then players FINALLY get a chance to enjoy them in a decent state

gusty mirage
gloomy knoll
#

and as they just start to get attached

#

blizzard throws it in the trash

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

a lot of specs have useless talents where you pick a talent because it's the least shitty option

balmy condor
#

but it's starting to feel like every patch is just regurgitating the last expansion

gloomy knoll
#

outlaw literally has talents that are dps losses

#

or at least it did in nyalotha

#

half our talents are just unusable

limpid plinth
balmy condor
hollow river
#

Have you socketed gear with venari

gusty mirage
#

yes

viral locust
#

It's prolly a good idea to just craft Doomblade on a cloak and call it a day right? Not worry about Dashing?

balmy condor
#

dashing is probably fine

#

they're very close

gloomy knoll
#

honestly suprising

hollow river
viral locust
#

Is Doomblade harder to play at all?

gloomy knoll
#

that they haven't made good solo content

#

since mage tower

balmy condor
civic trellis
#

btw remember to socket all your legos rings/necks before 9.1

gusty mirage
gloomy knoll
#

like literally every player

civic trellis
#

save a socket 😄

gloomy knoll
#

will tell you how fucking bussin mage tower was

#

and we got nothin

balmy condor
hollow river
#

I’m not socketing fuck all

gusty mirage
#

I loved mage tower, that + the class halls made me want to level alts

#

I had like 7 alts at max level in legion

gloomy knoll
#

yea i loved the class halls

#

also

balmy condor
#

oh also what happened to crafting questlines and ranks and shit

gloomy knoll
#

was super pog

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

that kinda got dumpstered too

gloomy knoll
#

lol true

balmy condor
#

and class based questlines

#

that got fucked

gusty mirage
#

remember our crimson vial buffs from pickpocket?

#

I was actually looking forward to those lol

balmy condor
#

no

#

I don't

gloomy knoll
#

nah we just got a nerf

woeful juniper
#

yea legendary questline aswel

balmy condor
gloomy knoll
#

to crimson vial

hollow river
civic trellis
gloomy knoll
#

and nothing in return

civic trellis
#

XD

gloomy knoll
#

legion had class based questlines

gusty mirage
#

then it launched and I'm like wtf and people were like "Yeah they announced it at blizzcon and never did anything with it"

gloomy knoll
#

and it was giga pog

civic trellis
#

imagine having to farm 6 totems as shamy in wotlk times

woeful juniper
#

MoP and legion lego questlines were cool

civic trellis
#

via quests and chain-quests

gloomy knoll
#

i fucking loved legion quests

#

really made me feel like a rogue

balmy condor
#

yeah the class questlines added a lot of replayability to alts and stuff

gloomy knoll
#

and then you get to the mage tower and it's like this super hard skill challenge

balmy condor
#

made a lot of the community real happy

gloomy knoll
#

to unlock this super cool flashy rogue thing

hollow river
#

Whatever happened to learning your abilities from a class trainer

gloomy knoll
#

like legion actually felt like an mmo

#

from all that stuff

hollow river
#

They just expect everyone to boost anyway huh

woeful juniper
#

i guess we kinda have one in SL with the thorghast questline

civic trellis
#

the feeling of leveling 4-5 leves and going to the instructor

#

and bum

#

2-3 new abilities, lot of ranks

gloomy knoll
#

torghast quest line pissed me off

#

it's like i already gotta farm this crap content

#

but now i gotta do quests here too

woeful juniper
#

lmao

hollow river
viral locust
#

Legion was the good ole days.

#

🙂

civic trellis
#

and when you had to pay to reset your talents

balmy condor
woeful juniper
#

MoP was bis tbh

gloomy knoll
hollow river
#

You couldn’t replay them??

gusty mirage
gloomy knoll
#

had to look up guides etc

hollow river
#

Wtf is the point in that

gloomy knoll
#

i couldn't even do the sub one

#

i kept getting to where he dropped the puddle

#

and then just died to the puddles taking over the room

hollow river
#

I just want all the unobtainables

gloomy knoll
#

but this is the thing right

#

like they take all the good ideas

#

or the ideas that took a lot of effort and work to make good

#

and then they just drop em

#

like just makes no sense lol

woeful juniper
#

yea thorgjast couldve been a better magetower

#

they just shit the bed with it

balmy condor
woeful juniper
#

the rewards alone in thorgjast are awful. like really no cosmetics and 1 mount. If there were cool t mogs and stuff with challanges for unlocks

#

god so much potential

balmy condor
#

yeah that's the other thing

#

like they add a system

#

and there's no real reason to do it

#

like twisting was..... idk... fun?

woeful juniper
#

i thought it sucked xD

balmy condor
#

idk what twisting was supposed to be

civic trellis
#

i think it was supposed to not having a final layer

gloomy knoll
#

i didn't even do twsiting

#

saw no reason to

woeful juniper
#

took way to long for nothing. only layer that I was happy after I finshed was 8.

balmy condor
#

I did it cause a friend wanted the acheive

gusty mirage
gloomy knoll
#

don't like torghast why would i do 18 floors of it for no reason lol

civic trellis
balmy condor
#

but like m+ rewards kinda aren't there, raid doesn't have a tier set, so that's kinda just more gear, torg doesn't really have anything outside of ash

civic trellis
#

i thought there would be rankings and such but

balmy condor
#

it's kinda ??

#

they have all these pieces

#

and none of them fit together

civic trellis
#

m15 giving 210 ilvl have been the most topkek imo

balmy condor
#

and they just try to glue them together awkwardly

#

and then wonder why people don't like it

woeful juniper
#

new m+ mount is a joke tbh

#

like really

hollow river
#

My sad vault has been most topkek IMO

gusty mirage
#

they did the same thing with the glad mount tbf

woeful juniper
#

ita the same mount just blue

#

they couldve atleast switcjed them xD

hollow river
#

That took like

#

A year to design

#

Shhh

balmy condor
#

missed opportunities

#

all around

#

is the moral of the story

#

lots of chances to do things

#

and then doing the same stuff again

#

with minimal effort

woeful juniper
#

well corona certainly did fuck thinga over

gloomy knoll
#

corona hurts time and manpower sure

#

it doesn't make you make bad choices

balmy condor
#

which is also wild to me, cause every other game studio seems to have weathered it fine

#

there was minor delays to a bunch of stuff

#

but they got it together within a couple weeks

hollow river
#

They’re based in Cali

#

The worst state to be in during corona lmao

balmy condor
#

I mean this is going pretty off topic at this point

#

don't wanna get into corona and what states handled it well

woeful juniper
#

Hmmmm MMOs take alot more development than most other games tho. Like its not the same as something like league

balmy condor
#

that's a slippery slope

hollow river
#

XD

woeful juniper
#

yea lets not get political in here xD were far enough of the road already

gloomy knoll
#

like i said

#

corona hurts manpower

#

it doesn't make bad game design decisions for you

balmy condor
#

^

#

in other news

#

what are y'alls thoughts on kyrian being okay

#

I don't like the animacharged at all

gusty mirage
latent stream
#

They fixed the Flagellation legendary, the versatility buff now persists throughout the whole duration of Flagellation

woeful juniper
#

uhm its shit to play

balmy condor
#

but I think thematically the soulbinds are sick

hollow river
#

Called it (:

balmy condor
balmy condor
hollow river
#

I’m clueless tbh haven’t looked at kyrian since 9.0

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

yuge*

hollow river
#

Proc like gemstone?

gusty mirage
#

bigly amount of primary stat

balmy condor
#

just a random proc

#

seems like

hollow river
#

Hmmm

balmy condor
#

not on a timer like gemstone

#

but similar in effect

gusty mirage
#

has solid uptime too

hollow river
#

Sin rogue go kyrian ?

gusty mirage
#

necro or BUST

balmy condor
#

sub and outlaw look good on kyrian though

hollow river
#

That would suck tbh

#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

sub wants venth, outlaw wants necro

latent stream
#

Im necro at the moment but since they fixed the flag leggo Im very uncertain atm

balmy condor
#

but kyrian is close for both of them

hollow river
#

I was outlaw kyrian for keys and sub for pvp in 9.0

balmy condor
#

I'm swapping back to venth atm

latent stream
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

cause I'm planning on playing sub in m+

latent stream
#

On it as well

gusty mirage
hollow river
#

D:

#

Sub in m+ venth giga?

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

I'm just going to suck it up and play pirate in s2

woeful juniper
#

m+ sub What

gusty mirage
balmy condor
latent stream
#

Necro is probably allways gonna be best for m+ at least for assa and outlaw if u ask me

balmy condor
#

oh yeah for those 2 specs for sure

hollow river
#

Did you count the nerfs though?

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

at least in 9.1

hollow river
#

The nerfs

balmy condor
#

it's been nothing but buffs for sub

hollow river
#

The nerfs that have yet to come

balmy condor
#

I don't really see nerfs happening

latent stream
#

yeah sub aoe is kindy busted but night fae with korayn should be best for sub right? at least in aoe

hollow river
#

Really

balmy condor
#

korayn is worse than venthyr and kyrian for dslice

#

and for sustained aoe korayn is giga troll

latent stream
#

Im talking m+

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

so in m+ korayn is worse than kyrian and venth

hollow river
#

Worse than kyrian....

#

What has the world come to

latent stream
#

that's good then

balmy condor
#

kyrian got good soulbinds and the legendary giving cooldown reduction to outlaw/sub is actually kinda okay it seems

hollow river
#

I guess I’m hopping on the hype train with you whispyr

#

I wanna backstab stuff

balmy condor
#

sub is also the strongest aoe out of the rogue specs

#

so there's that

latent stream
#

Sub is kind of a sleeper man I dont see people talking about it

woeful juniper
#

my m+ group is gonna think i am trolling if come in there playing sub

balmy condor
#

like 6-8 target it smashes outlaw

latent stream
#

yeah

gusty mirage
#

it's been super quiet about sub for sure

hollow river
#

Then thing that sucks is

balmy condor
#

it's just cleave that sucks

gusty mirage
#

which is ironic because most of the rogue changes for 9.1 were for sub

balmy condor
#

but it pumps hella on aoe

hollow river
#

Sub will only be great at like 3 dungeons

balmy condor
#

the buffs are crazy

latent stream
#

they really are

balmy condor
hoary apex
#

venthyr sin not bad?

hollow river
#

I know

latent stream
#

you can do some crazy burst aoe with shuriken tornado, to bad there is no pride buff next patch

gusty mirage
#

venthyr sin is good

balmy condor
#

venthyr sin is very good

gusty mirage
#

just worse than necro when another target appears

woeful juniper
#

well necro is better for doungeons

balmy condor
#

it's close in dslice honestly

hollow river
#

With venthyr leggo?

balmy condor
#

nah

gusty mirage
#

you'd play finality

balmy condor
#

venthyr lego is sub only

gusty mirage
#

in m+

#

as sub

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that too

#

it's single target only for sub

#

but in dungeons, no point playing obedience

hollow river
#

Then how is venthyr right behind in dslice

balmy condor
#

?

hollow river
#

I thought there was a bit of a gap

balmy condor
#

cause venthyr is good

#

like the binds are good

#

lashing is strong

#

sbs on sub is awful

hollow river
#

Hmmm

#

I meant for sin

balmy condor
#

for sin venthyr isn't bad either in dungeons

latent stream
#

Flag leggo really helps sub in st man, they're current leggos are so weak compared to other classes

balmy condor
#

it's just less aoe

#

but it's in no way bad

hollow river
#

Necro>Venthyr gap

balmy condor
#

let me pull some numbers

#

hold on

woeful juniper
#

i was set on necro bow I am unsure

#

why u do dis?

limpid plinth
hollow river
latent stream
#

I was also set on necro until they fixed the flag leggo

limpid plinth
#

Now i started to think maby i wanna play sub in m+ too 🤣

latent stream
#

so close to venthyr on st but as soon as there is a couple of adds necro feels so much better

hoary apex
#

Sub really only struggles in ToP and to a lesser extent SoA

woeful juniper
#

sub st cant be that bad?

hoary apex
#

ST is not bad, but cleave is very bad

hollow river
balmy condor
#

dslice:
8180 necro sin
8090 venth sin

8997 venth sub
8460 necro sub

gusty mirage
#

But door of shadows is so ass peeporeallysad

civic trellis
#

do you have st sims?

#

😄

latent stream
#

what leggo is sub suing in that sim?

woeful juniper
#

this is 9.0.5 right?

umbral rapids
#

Finality

#

@latent stream

latent stream
#

ok

balmy condor
#

7689 venth sin
7560 necro sin

7761 venth sub
??? necro sub (didn't make the top 100 combos so probably like 300 down)

#

for single target

balmy condor
latent stream
#

Sims is one thing right but dont forget that you can do some sick combos with master assasin and shurken tornado together with 30% dmg on shadow dance

balmy condor
umbral rapids
latent stream
#

yeah ofc but they dont account for dungeon rout or the value of burst aoe

gusty mirage
#

You’d be hard pressed to find Whispyr voluntarily simming pirate spec

latent stream
#

I just mean its nice to have it in the toolkit right

balmy condor
umbral rapids
#

Thanks luv u

gusty mirage
#

@balmy condor You’re making me want to switch back venthyr and I hate you for it

#

Because I know I’ll be miserable playing outlaw in m+

trim dirge
#

venth outlaw is that bad?

woeful juniper
#

outlaw isnt that bad if you dont mind getting arthritis

latent stream
#

it feels pretty bad

umbral rapids
#

It’s ok @trim dirge

gusty mirage
umbral rapids
#

Sbs is reallt fun though

hoary apex
#

renown is not that hard to catch up on. I'll probably be going venth, and I went necro like 2 weeks ago and I'm renown 35. Going to have to refarm for venth. And I'm sure it will be even easier to catch up next patch

gusty mirage
#

I should just go back kyrian and be that guy

latent stream
#

haha

hollow river
brisk forge
#

Wth now I am torn if I wannna push m+ as sub instead of assa 😳 I mean sub is way more fun IMO and it looks like it will be better then b4 in m+...

hollow river
#

Greenskin?

gusty mirage
latent stream
#

by the way do we know how much renown we get every week next patch, is it still 3?

hollow river
#

They’re running greenskin now

#

Supposedly

gusty mirage
#

In ST?

limpid plinth
balmy condor
hollow river
#

Where are the gates greenskin sims x.x

brisk forge
#

Yeah but that’s “only” top and some what Spires 🤨

hollow river
#

Bosses do exist too ya know

#

And the affix boiz

woeful juniper
#

affix boiz are gonna be pulled into mobs most likely

hollow river
#

Plus how often do 3/5 die

#

And you have 2 big mobs left

limpid plinth
#

Damn just get out these sub info from here so need to think about it 😂

woeful juniper
#

I doubt anything is gonna come close to necro pirate tbh when it comes to m+

hollow river
#

Sub will be easier to play but how long until that is boring lol

latent stream
hollow river
#

Yeah ik

latent stream
#

ppl seem to forget that

hollow river
#

Looks like we’re all a bunch of pirates again

latent stream
#

fk man I really dont like outlaw

hollow river
#

./dies and quits game

latent stream
#

I miss combat

hollow river
#

Honestly they’re all viable

#

But I bet pugs still kick you if not outlaw xD

balmy condor
hollow river
#

Yeah sims have bosses etc and cleave

latent stream
balmy condor
#

there's a reason why all top players sim and follow that

hollow river
#

I was speaking on subs cleave when they said top and spires were the main bad dungeons for sub

balmy condor
#

people not following the sims usually napkin mathed some nonsense

#

and then correct after a while

limpid plinth
hollow river
#

Is it just me or

silent fossil
#

so do we use breath, iris, or blood

hollow river
#

Nvm

#

I’m heading off to bed

balmy condor
#

bye bye

hollow river
dawn ivy
#

are those sub sims basing the venthyr leggo off a full 24 seconds of vers?

woeful juniper
#

so what covenant are rwf rogues going? if they even exist?

hollow river

rwf rogues are on their better alts

#

Ah

#

Mornin, how are the daggers from sylvana looking? Are they going to be better then normal daggers? Maybe i am asking too soon, don’t eat me

balmy condor
#

No sims

#

But napkin math says pretty strong

kindred shuttle
#

Noice

woeful juniper
#

if you manage to drop them

#

cant wait ti have ce and still bo daggers

hoary apex
#

like good enough that heroic sylv daggers beat mythic ilvl daggers?

kindred shuttle
#

I am sole rogue in our guild

balmy condor
#

If they’re that good, they might get tuned in heroic week and then all this speculation isn’t worth a damn anyways

umbral rapids
#

just sim it whispyr and tell us Reeeeee

balmy condor
kindred shuttle
umbral rapids
#

i need to know if the HC dagger from last boss is better than raid dagger in the raid that drops in 2 weeks

woeful juniper
#

limit and echo running 20 rogues on heroic sylvanas week 2 to trade daggers incoming

latent stream
#

Would be very boring if hc dagger wasnt worth equiping even in the off hand compared to normal mythic daggers

balmy condor
umbral rapids
#

haha

#

i'm just fucking with you the question is funny

balmy condor
#

Fucking boxes and missing effects everywhere

umbral rapids

it's not like it matters at all for now

balmy condor
fervent tusk
#

is outlaw still ahead of assa in m+ dps wise?

civic trellis
#

Just curious, how items are implented in simc, manually?

balmy condor
#

Easily

latent stream
#

Damn I miss shrouded suffocation

civic trellis
#

Or its like you dump wow db into simc

latent stream
#

and echoing blades

hoary apex
#

SS/EB was the best

#

Rogue

balmy condor
woeful juniper
#

both top tier

#

probably

limpid plinth
civic trellis
#

I wonder if you want a dh because the Magic buff

hoary apex
#

shroud is going to be really good for getting the Anima buffs early

woeful juniper
#

xd just play 3 rogues and atealth to each boss get power and then clear the doungeon

balmy condor
#

Yeah I mean there’s still skips and stuff

latent stream
#

If DH tank can survive high keys they'l probably still be used for the 5% buff, since they got more dps than the other competetive tanks

balmy condor
#

Rogue isn’t a must take, but it gets a little questionable routing wise

civic trellis
brisk forge
#

If meta stays 2 range yea

woeful juniper
#

invis pots to dtrong tbh dhould be removed kekw

civic trellis
#

Druid is gonna be the way

latent stream
#

I think so to but not if dh can survive right

civic trellis
#

Unless you are doing 15#s

#

15s

woeful juniper
#

drood tank 3 rogues tree new meta steath man group

latent stream
#

the value of druid tank is a lot lower with 3 rogues in the grp xD

#

since target cap lawl

civic trellis
#

We tried mists 19 at ptr and our 229 dh got melted in the first pull

woeful juniper
#

just skip the entire doungeon. cant have a bad time if you never went inside

civic trellis
#

Not even Double pull

latent stream
#

Oh ok

brisk forge
#

But with current gear or?

hoary apex
#

229 is basically current gear

civic trellis
#

It was scaled to 230 iir

humble ginkgo
#

Is it safe to sim only crit and haste enchants/gems for sin?

civic trellis
#

Iirc*

humble ginkgo
#

for some reason its not letting me select more than that

#

I know vers is not something we stack

#

and mastery is shit

woeful juniper
#

should be fine

brisk forge
#

Sim all? 🤨

#

Aha

#

Nvm

balmy condor
woeful juniper
#

or sim stat weights first and see if something is very off

balmy condor
#

don't do that

#

stat weights bad

humble ginkgo
#

I have never used stat weights

#

and I dont think I ever will

latent stream
#

they can be bait yeah

balmy condor
#

skip that's the most beautiful thing I've seen you say since I met you

#

based opinion

humble ginkgo
#

also people that aim for a certain % of stats

#

is dumb

#

just sim

civic trellis
#

Nono

balmy condor
#

2/2 skip

#

holy shit

humble ginkgo
#

I might be dumb but im not that dumb whisp

balmy condor
#

keep it up

latent stream
#

haha going for % of stats is classic brain

lyric nexus
#

no stat weighs tssk

humble ginkgo
#

I learned from the 40% crit back then

woeful juniper
#

well if you cant actually sim yourself properly with all gems kekw

humble ginkgo
#

you taught me well

civic trellis
#

I want 30% crit 12% haste 0% mast 18% versa

#

Or i quit

humble ginkgo
#

I could run 2 different sims but I cant be asked because I know the result will be between haste and crit

#

the sim will not tell me to go mastery or vers

#

and I am currently full vers because outlaw

#

and stacking haste/crit is also benefitable on outlaw unless I run Master assassin in m+

#

crit becomes useless

balmy condor
#

gem sims kinda unnecessary anyway

fleet anchor
#

Realistically daggers won't be implemented until someone can test them. Heard they may be on a vendor soon, but who knows.

balmy condor
#

the difference is so low

humble ginkgo
#

I could just full gem haste

balmy condor
#

doesn't matter

humble ginkgo
#

yea

civic trellis
#

They are so close the difference will fall into the sim error Skip

fleet anchor
#

Too many question marks as to how they actually work

civic trellis
#

:D

fleet anchor
#

Spell data gives some ideas but really nothing definitive enough to be confident in

fleet anchor
#

Lots of magic scripting going on

#

No idea how they work in AOE

#

No idea how they work with dual wielding

#

No idea if the stacks scale the chance or the damage

civic trellis
#

Uhm so will be based on empirical data?

fleet anchor
#

It will be based on somebody actually hitting a dummy or having some logs and figuring out the answers to those questions 😛

latent stream
sacred isle
#

I can imagine if they do work with fok ct they will be very op in aoe

fleet anchor
#

We know it has a 500ms ICD on the proc effect, but currently it appears it can proc from yellow hits

fleet anchor
#

But as to how that works with AoE who knows

#

Don't even know what happens when you use an AoE finisher if the debuff is on multiple targets

woeful juniper
#

would be pog for sub in m+

latent stream
#

very much so

woeful juniper
#

maybe sin ct?
