But once snd is up, it should be up forever

hollow river
#

unless your tank is trolling

spice spire
#

And you can keep up snd between your CT stuff

fiery cape
#

Yeah.. as for the target swapping its a bit of overhead.. on my dh, I can just tunnel the main target and cleave everything without ever changing my target... lol

spice spire
#

And I often troll OMEGAKEKW

hollow river
#

yeah sin in m+ is much more difficult than ST

spice spire
#

You get used to it

hollow river
#

takes getting used to yeah

teal bluff
#

is CT higher prio in aoe than rupture?

hollow river
#

yes

teal bluff
#

got it cause i think in ST its the other way around

hollow river
#

mmm not 100% sure

#

think you're correct tho

fiery cape
#

... and when outside a shiv window, if I have 4 or 5 cp and ct is falling off, refreshing ct is higher priority than envenom? Even on a single target?

hollow river
#

in ST i think you can just omit CT and use envenoms and barely lose like 20dps

#

iirc

hollow river
fiery cape
#

Elaborate planning or master poisoner? I've been running ep.

hollow river
#

i'm not 100% sure i'm correct in stating you can omit CT in ST and barely lose and dps period.

#

but i've heard that.

hazy geyser
#

so how does the new dagger work? do we get 2x debuffs with double dagger or is it just 1 debuff?

hollow river
#

doubles the proc rate

#

check the pins for new dagger info, it's in there

hazy geyser
#

but it also says double the damage

#

that part makes no sense

hollow river
#

how so

hazy geyser
#

" Equipping 2 daggers seems to not only double the proc rate, but also the damage"

hollow river
#

hmm so it's not clear whether it just doubles the damage entirely, or if it doubles the damage of each proc? is what you're saying

hazy geyser
#

yeah

hollow river
#

i can see where you're coming from. for now i would assume the former i stated above.

#

"just doubles the damage entirely"

gusty mirage

until you've heard from someone more knowledgeable

anyone know if i change from fae to necro and then to venthyr can i go back to necro straight away?

hollow river
#

not straight away no

gusty mirage

you'd have to do the 2 reset questchain to go back

hollow river
#

jagged yoke
#

gawd damn

hollow river
#

you must choose only one, young padded one.

jagged yoke
#

might test them on ptr then

hollow river
#

there are sims in the pins that might help you pick also

#

but if you want to test how the feel to play then that might be your best bet

jagged yoke
#

yeh exactly thats what im thinking....wasnt liking necro before but hopefully come around to it

hollow river
#

it feels much better since it was buffed

#

it effects your playstyle the most.

#

venth and fae you just press for buff etc

jagged yoke

yeh i was sub rogue on launch and didnt really like fae either

hollow river

same but i was kyrian

didn't care for that much either

Prior to expansion launch I was deadset against playing Necro, but 9.05 helped show me the light. Now that the initial sims are showing Venth (my fav cov) as best for dual specing Sub and Sin, I'm having a tough time convincing myself I don't want to be a Stinky boi

Hate the mog, mate that maldraxxis is a living, breathing diabetic ulcer, but love the class ability and soulbinds haha. So torn.

hollow river
#

it's a tough decision but the ability to viably spec sub when you want sounds nice

fiery cape
#

I like necro because sbs are always available and you can spam and spread them across mobs and get them back when they die. Deliberating on when to use flagellation, with its 90 cd, means i either don't use it enough or don't have it when i need it.. lol

#

Also, a warr thought he was going to gank me in wpvp, but as I rotted him down he tried to leap away and I blasted him in the back with a couple sbs and nuked him... hunter rogue ftw

All the covenants in harmony

Except kyrian ig but who wants wow lightmodr anyway

torn atlas
#

Well the story line for 9.1 is that the covenants are starting to work together again, was hoping it would mean we'll start to get some form of cross covenant stuff, but that doesn't sound like something they will actually give us.

In 9.3 when it doesn't matter anymore you'll get weird shit like that

When do we get flying?

gusty mirage

IIRC it’s tied to the campaign quest

fiery cape
#

.. and as for the mounts, the Vicious Warr Spider is the coolest

It’s kinda slow right now for them. I believe it does but don’t quote me on that

Sims from yesterday are basically it man. Whispyr just said there are more done but in relation to what you’d have to ask

Nothing radical is going to throw the shift off too much and we all kinda see how it’ll lay out

teal bluff
#

do i need to do anything special before using shiv in multi-target? In single target i pool energy and cp before using it is that worth in multi-target?

#

or do i just slam it and forget about it?

hollow river

!shiv

#

O

#

Pretty sure you just slam it

#

In any target amount

#

Pooling -30 from max energy for envenoms outside of shiv

teal bluff

got it ty

#

maybe im overthinking it, i'll just press it

balmy condor
#

yep

#

just slam

#

someone pointed out that in dungeonslice, the sim ended a pack by casting shiv on the very last GCD

#

so I tried to improve that

#

and it wasn't a gain

#

it's too powerful

#

just slam and go

pastel roost

Soryy if already too much asked, but where can i find the most up to dates sim ? are they the on in pins ?

willow eagle

Don't think there are properly updated simms

Because there's a lot of last minute balancing going on

So it's changing daily

pastel roost

Really ? even this weekend ptr is changing ?

and next week too

willow eagle

Aka unholy gems got nuked

#

And then there's the mystery of bron

pastel roost
#

Ok , thanks for the reply guys, guess i'll wait

#

Just to be sure , as i am necrolord right now ( i think it was still good for assa/outlaw) , are you guys preparing kyrian just in case ?

gleaming fable
#

If you only care about assassin the sims are accurate i would say

willow eagle
#

Necro is a safe bet

gleaming fable
#

kyrian wont be good for assassin regardless of what happens

willow eagle
#

Kyrian is if you wanna go outlaw/sub

#

But that might be a gamble because mikanikos seems a bit over the dps budget vs other soulbinds

pastel roost
#

I mean , sub is interesting but even with sim advantage i don't see it staying the relevent spec over assa as it lose a lot of dps for any reason( melee uptime, kyrian maybe nerf etc..)

#

but meh i could be wrong

willow eagle
#

Loss of uptime is overrated

#

But sin is always the safe option for prog

slow marsh
#

Sin is safer but imo there don't seem to be any crazy punishing mechanics in most of the fights so the sub hype is for sure real

gleaming fable
#

I wouldn't say its overrated when sub and sin are so close in single target to begin with

#

well depending on what happens to mikanikos xD

slow marsh
#

It's healthy that sub would have higher ST potential than sin anyways so i'm good with it

willow eagle
#

Since obedience is what sub really likes

gleaming fable
#

Well obediance sub is only 100 dps ahead of sin(maybe a bit more with sylv dagger), so the downtime disadvantage might put sin ahead is what im saying basically

slow marsh
#

I agree

gleaming fable
#

either way im playing sub 🙂

#

should be totally good enough for people not pushing prog super hard

slow marsh
#

The issue i'm having right now is whether or not to swap back to venthyr to optimize the niche of rogue ST or stay necro. Doesn't seem like there are any "cleave" fights that matter other than the nine

Is it ok to refresh rupture inside of shiv?

frail fossil
# teal bluff Is it ok to refresh rupture inside of shiv?

yes u press shiv on cd, so if it lands on a rupture refresh timer u just run with it, tho do try to plan ahead and to make sure to reapply rupture so u dont need to during shiv, even if u need to reapply it outside of shiv when it's not in pandemic

#

honestly i almost never have to refresh a rupture into a shiv window without paying much attention to it

But even if it's 1-2% it will win easy

balmy condor

Oh then probably fine

jagged yoke
#

how do u get damage from fleshcraft? just stand in shit?

fleet anchor
#

It's only 1% behind Heirmir atm

willow eagle
#

Get healed or do damage

fleet anchor
#

It literally just pops every 1 second ICD

#

because overheals work

#

And SnD heals work

willow eagle
#

I'd assume you wouldn't want it in raid

fleet anchor
#

So you just channel Fleshcraft and get 1 proc per second for 9 seconds

willow eagle
#

Standing 3 secs channeling doesn't seem like an ideal playstyle

#

Unless you have intermissions like council or slg

fleet anchor
#

That's like.. literally what people do to use Fleshcraft as it is? 😛

slow marsh
#

but when would i use sbs if i am going emeni

fleet anchor
#

Considering Assassination has like 15% downtime

#

Channeling Fleshcraft for 3s every 2 minutes is not exactly a big deal

#

We have over 40s of downtime every 5 minutes

#

Just dump your energy and channel lol

fleet anchor
#

Pretty sure that's gonna stomp Heirmir actually lol

#

That's basically enough DPS to bring it up to Nadjia/Venthyr level 😛

balmy condor
#

God I hate that

fleet anchor
#

Take that Venthyr scum

viscid marten
#

Y'all make me more lost on what covenant to go everytime I check this disc

I mean I think it's been the same for a while. Necro or Venthyr are probably best depending on what you are up to.

Depends, if Kyrian will be #1 for Outlaw and he‘ll play both, maybe someone can also take Kyr in consideration. Or am I wrong?

a lot of people rly like necro too

#

and its a good alternative

fathom flax
#

Necro is a whole lot better for outlaw and m+ and venthyr is a whole lot better for sun and pure ST

#

So you can hedge your bets and go necro or play to a strength and go venthyr

fleet anchor
#

I wouldn’t say it’s a whole lot better in ST

#

Necro will be closer in ST than it was this tier

royal lantern

I think the only reason to go Venthyr is if you plan to play Sub as well

Rogue will be one of the top

fleet anchor
#

Well Ryler I just mostly think if Necro is within 1% on ST it’s just probably better. It’s so much stronger with any adds.

teal bloom

Rogue will most likely do more dps but dh and warrior are required for raid buff

fathom flax

Ass will be good in m+ I think but outlaw will always be better and venthyr isn’t the best for outlaw but necro outlaw m+ rocks

I mean it happens when we have lots of people coming back to the class/spec or looking to reroll. People are just excited in general. At the end of the day things are just getting started and will probs change with more tuning in the next week

azure bronze

Which is like 0.5%damage difference on ST profile

#

So yes it's kinda close

iron orchid
#

th gap will also reduce when new spell data for SBS is implemented (which allows it to crit) and maybe changes to soulbinds can have some impact too

The 12s obedience thing applied to all sims right ? so It'd mean it'd become stronger for sub too ?

fathom flax

But My actual goal is KSM in 3 days

You do you

the two options we got are Ven - Sin/sub or Necro Sin/outlaw < this is still valid.

Did something change ?

vestal wren

Could make venthyr a bit op

Well that'd probably make venthyr catch up to kyrian ST for sub ?

And I’ve been telling people it’s 24 second vers

And it’s been 12

Says koji

digital zodiac

so is venth looking a biut better this week in sims?

neon cloak
#

i am lost 😄

umbral rapids
#

Why would it better am I dumb???

azure bronze
#

if you prefer to play assa and outlaw

#

then necro is a good pick

slow marsh
#

But venthyr means all in on thrill seeker

azure bronze
#

if you want to play sub/assa then go venthyr

slow marsh
#

Soo..

neon cloak
#

i am all about raiding

warm parcel
#

Heretics I say

neon cloak
#

so what would be better for progress

azure bronze
#

Venthyr most likely

slow marsh
#

Tbd

drifting cloud
#

we should go back to if you have to ask it doesnt matter for you its way more edgy

neon cloak
slow marsh
#

Raid is pretty much all ST outside of KT so pushing your ST in sin would be the easiest answer for prog

neon cloak
#

i c

azure bronze
#

that and it allows you to play both the 2 strongest ST rogue specs

umbral rapids
#

Wait sin doesn’t even care about obedience…

balmy condor
#

Need to resim for bugs and marileth
Sims are still shaky. Please don’t freak out. You can still play venth/necro and be perfectly fine. If you haven’t chosen yet, that’s fine, if you’ve chosen already, that’s fine too. Your choice is valid and you are beautiful.

TLDR: YOUR COVENANT IS FINE. YOURE FINE. ITS GOING TO BE OKAY. PICK ONE

neon cloak
slow marsh
#

Depends right now. Not a clear answer yet

umbral rapids
#

Why better :(((

For pure boss damage venthyr for sure

ah okay

soft shale

although marileth does seem lit kevin seems interesting

rustic thunder
#

What was the fix?

neon cloak
#

i will be fked if ven became way stronger 😄 i just lvled my rouge few days ago and it was ven at the beginning and for some reason i switched to necro before i reach 40. 😄

soft shale
#

also pvp buff now that it always gives mastery

azure bronze
#

It was only simming 12 sec of vers instead of 24

rustic thunder
#

Spicy

#

Should be a lot better now for ST

jagged yoke
#

whats aoe rotation look like for assassination necro?

drowsy parcel
#

how does emeni pustules work in sims, just hardcasting fleshcraft on cooldown?

brisk garnet
#

If we wanna stay flexible everything would work okayish if we just "avoid" mastery and aim for crit>haste=vers yeah?

limber lion
soft shale
#

yea mastery is only decent in a m+ enviroment

#

everywhere else crit is >>>>>

balmy condor
soft shale
#

and even then

brisk garnet
#

Thinking across all three specs sorry

limber lion
#

Gar gar gar gar ct sbs sbs rup sbs rup is a good opener if you have snd up already.

jagged yoke

damn just realised i didnt have crimson tempest at all...is that really good now?

limber lion
#

It has always been good

#

Nothing new.

balmy condor
jagged yoke
#

oh damn i havent played sin for ages didnt know

drowsy parcel
#

its interesting with fleshcraft as a dps cooldown

soft shale
#

well thanks god you didnt live the dream of ct st

balmy condor
soft shale
#

you also have to be on melee on what you want to hit

#

dont use it prepull or you int popping them before

#

as they get popped by snd and any heal

umbral rapids
#

i'm confuzzle

#

maybe me stupid

balmy condor
#

12 seconds good

#

24 seconds more good

umbral rapids
#

oh it's going from 12 to 24?

#

i misunderstood your first message

limber lion
#

Yes

umbral rapids
#

well that makes sense

#

i thought it was the opposite

limber lion
#

The haste currently lasts for 24s

#

But the new vers from Obi only lasts for 12s

#

Fixerino makes it 24s

#

Very pog.

jagged yoke
#

do we open with ambush always?

limber lion
#

Never

#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

jagged yoke
#

o shit...im guessing use garrote then?

teal bloom
#

Mutilate with master assassin, garrote with subterfuge

jagged yoke
#

awesome thanks

teal bloom
#

Or sbs with ma if necro

limber lion

lol yeh fair enough

soft shale

and assa was already free from the owl frenzy

#

praise

royal lantern
#

the owl frenzy is hillarious ngl

#

people overreacting to covenant changes

#

right now

#

in a state of the game where stuff changes

drifting cloud
#

well the Bron buffs are very sus

royal lantern
#

instead of chilling and waiting for mythic release patch, to see what will probably stay good

drifting cloud
#

mostly for other kyrian classes its insane

#

its not gonna break rogue

royal lantern
#

i mean, i have a high feeling its gonna get the pelagos treatment

drifting cloud
#

doesnt dh just get x4 bron uptime or something now

soft shale
#

yea i mean when you also see bron bring 10% of damage on heals

royal lantern
#

remember how hyped pelagos was? and then turned way worse cus they adjusted it?

soft shale
#

you know its getting the slam jam

soft shale
#

bron has the same problem as pelagos

#

it has damage after potency

neon cloak
#

guys in sin-necro we are always going with Heirmir right?

soft shale
#

not necessarily

#

emeni seems that ts is competitive in 9.1

potent dagger
#

Depend on the covenant change , Emeni has not been simed for now

soft shale
#

but you will need the capstone

#

so until renown liek 59 forget about the snake princess

neon cloak
#

so for now Heirmir

#

till we get more renown and sim it

soft shale
#

yea heirmir better now

#

and first week is same as they all get potency

#

onwards it depends

neon cloak
#

cool

jagged yoke
#

how much lower is assassination aoe to outlaw?

thorny pond
#

It’s still competes it’s just not brain dead like OL

#

There’s nice pins to give you a relative answer

jagged yoke
#

any idea what to craft doomblade on for 9.1?

south belfry
#

Cape

jagged yoke
#

oh in the jounral it says hands/feet

#

hands/shoulders

south belfry
#

Cant make it until 9.1

drifting cloud
#

cape is a 9.1 slot

jagged yoke
#

oh right guess ill wait

brisk garnet
#

Sin feels worse the lower the key too, Outlaw can basically delete a pack before you have subterfuged in 15s

deep solstice
#

Outaw is a lot more relaxed to play in keys in general. DoT management is a lot of work to play optimally.

odd hazel
#

Which won’t be the case 90% of the time even if it happens.

#

Sin feels fine in mythic +

#

Lets not lie to people

#

We have plenty of peeps here who play it at 20+

pure sentinel
#

is doom blade better than obedience?

brisk garnet
#

No I'm saying it's better in 20s than say Tyran 15s where it just feels shit to have the pack die before you gar half the time

odd hazel
#

Nothing is dieing In that span of seconds

limber lion
#

You can just play the MA build in lower keys.

#

It's more frontloaded.

iron orchid
# pure sentinel is doom blade better than obedience?

More simming is required. For sin ST, doomblade will probably be better still. But perhaps you could use obedience as venthyr in other situations. Also, obedience should be sub's best leggo for venthyr in any situation.

odd hazel
#

I did see obedience doing well in dungeon slice

#

Nadja triple potency + obedience

#

But that’s with no sylvanas daggers

pure sentinel

Yeah if that’s what we end up using it’ll be nice to not worry about two slots

is venthyr better than necro for sin?

it is always safe to wait after 9.1

not before

But hope necro is good for raid

vestal wren

depends on the content

steel ridge
#

sadly my doomblade is on hands :/

vestal wren
#

my recommendation for legendary crafting is to work till heroic week

#

😉

limber lion
#

Cloak is a new slot coming in 9.1

#

Thanks Blizzard PES_SadGePray

steel ridge
#

yeah cloak takes alot of legendaries

#

which is fine

limber lion
#

It takes 2 resets, so if you do the first part today and the next part the day of reset, then you gucci

#

Next week will be kinda slow anyways because we don't have Tazavesh or the raid available

lone minnow

fuck it, staying necro

limber lion

So a good time to farm the last bits of renown and whatnot

hey guys sorry for basic question im swapping to my rogue for 9.1 and i wanna play all 3 specs but main assassination with raid as my focus, is necro the best option for me?

lone minnow

yes

lone minnow

I was faster than cev Pog

limber lion

Venthyr is a great choice as well

grim jay
lone minnow

Depends what 2 specs you are leaning towards

#

check thepins for the answer to that @indigo thicket

I'd go venthyr because it unlocks sub
And venthyr outlaw is not too bad

am i missing something or is necrolord extremely boring on ST?

You press sbs the most so probably not necro's fault

grim jay

well its just another spell to press like with most covenants

#

😄

visual dagger
#

on ST its basically just a mutilate replacement every x seconds right?

whole bluff
#

Exactly, the other ones are press and forget until cd. Except maybe Kyrian but it's too gimmicky

grim jay

else you wanna hold if adds spawn

limber lion

You just use Flag on cooldown before a finisher

wee exciting

You press Sepsis on cooldown, followed by Shiv

wee exciting

We're not exactly blessed with the most engaging covenant abilities.

Flag hits like a truck tho it feels good when you hit it

For assa?

limber lion

We don't really have that many buttons to be honest.

#

At least buttons that would see a lot of play.

gusty mirage
#

Only thing I have macro’d is tricks to focus and mouseover, not much I can help you with there

mossy crown
#

might do a mouseover one for SBS

gusty mirage
#

Yeah mouseover for SBS is nice and especially useful for outlaw

whole bluff
#

Doesn't relieve you from a lot of buttons

mossy crown
#

true that

gusty mirage
#

Mouseover MfD is nice for outlaw as well

#

Helps snipe resets

violet hemlock

I have a mouseover garrote and rupture but thats mainly due to play outlaw prior

mossy crown

can you have a macro which do mouseover, if not current target?

plain thistle

yes /cast [@mouseover][] spell

gusty mirage
#

It defaults to current target if you’re not mousing anything over

mossy crown

awesome, cheers all

plain thistle
#

oh yeah, thats more for cursor

#

for healers

violet hemlock
#

I use the harm keyword in there

#

just personal pref I guess

visual dagger
#

does the bleed from bonespike proc venomous wounds?

gusty mirage
#

Nope

#

Just garrote and rupture

analog glade
#

!guide

violet hemlock

the tooltip even says only rupture or garrote

The SBS bleed does factor in to doomblade though

And zold right ?

yes

sturdy merlin
#

Wasn’t sure thanks

No one factoring the squishy wet splash sound the boners make in their necro choice or is that just me?

alpine latch
viscid spear
#

@jagged yoke saw that Necro was good too, but I prefer Venthyr

mossy crown
#

currently farming renown for necro

viscid spear
#

I also dabble in Sub and dislike Out, so that helps the decision.

jagged yoke
#

yeh is necro alot better for aoe?

alpine latch
#

yes

#

It's a good bit better for m+ if you're running Sin

#

Venth or Necro are your ideal things on what you want to be. Venth I think is better for Sin/Sub, Necro is better for Sin/Outlaw.

#

I know there's better info in the pins

vagrant bison
#

have they nerfed the necro legendary for outlaw? i remember that ryfie said that he would prob reroll outlaw if that legendary stayed like that

viscid spear
#

Yeah I was looking at the pins

limber lion

It's quite bad now.

alpine latch
drifting cloud
#

it has been deleted from the game

vagrant bison
#

good, at least people won't ask me to reroll

drifting cloud
#

effectively

alpine latch
#

They nerfed the Necro leggo, Sylv daggers, hardmode necklace

#

Took all of our fun away

viscid spear
#

Nerfed Syl daggers how?

harsh anchor
#

Nerfed as in brought them back down to reality

red bloom

They’re still gonna be bis though aren’t they? Extra Damage is a bonus

alpine latch

Yeah, pretty sure they are still BiS according to Whispyr's latest sims

limber lion
#

Probably yes

red bloom
#

I’ll take what I’m given

it would be really hard for them to not be bis

#

theyd have to be actual poopwater

viscid spear

2ez I'm the only Rogue in the raid team and I deserve recompense for my horrible luck with the Carapace dagger last exapc

yeah its on legs

Mostly focused on Doomblade recrafted to cloak, that's the important one.

i think i crafted my r2 doomblade on shoulders?

should i recraft it or just yolo

limber lion
#

recraft on cloak in 9.1

so wait, with new obedience sims, its gonna be better than doom?

Who knows

We'll have to wait and see.

what's the obedience optimization whyspir wants to make ?

gusty mirage
#

the sims missing out on casts because of the cdr

limber lion

Flag is not giving 24s verse

viscid spear
#

I think it means it looks better in sims than in the actual situation?

gusty mirage
#

I think

limber lion
#

Flag is only giving 12s of verse, should be giving 24s.

vale marten
#

im gonna do the quest to swap back to venth, just to be safe

gusty mirage
#

or that may have been for sub

frail fossil
limber lion
#

You'd think that

#

But apparently it was never implemented

#

And Whispyr was saying that

#

for weeks

#

even though it was never fixed.

frail fossil
limber lion
#

And apparently yesterday they noticed

#

that it's still 12s

frail fossil
#

in the sims right ? it's fixed on live

#

i mean ptr

limber lion
#

Ye

#

It's fixed in the sims now I think

gusty mirage
#

good thing it hasn't been reported since the legendary dropped am I right?

limber lion
#

But that means we'll have to update the sims again

#

And means that Sub will see a pretty giga gain in obedience dps

#

Wouldn't be surprised if it pulls ahead Kyrian now tbh

#

but who knows, we'll just have to wait and see.

frail fossil
#

DK rly happy rn

viscid spear
#

So Obedience is the best leggo for Sub?
Or at least tracking to be?

limber lion
#

Yeh, likely.

But we'll have to wait and see

Is the raid dagger effect disabled on ptr atm? I did 2 runs of torghast and got 0 procs. The debuff was stacking, but it never did any damage.

limber lion
#

Bets me. Could just be that they are actively working on it.

deep solstice
#

very possible

viscid spear
#

@gusty mirage i think mine has his lips more pronounced, I have to remember it when I get home

deep solstice
#

maybe they are balancing the dagger by giving it a 0.00001% proc rate

strange python

so obedience over doomblade now or wot?

limber lion
#

Wait

#

for

#

the

sims

strange python
limber lion
#

Any and all updated information will be pinned

strange python
#

does it still give vers like at the same time u get the haste from flag

#

ie after u cant get more stacks

limber lion
#

The sims were done with 12s vers

#

but it should be 24s

#

that's why it's simming less than it should.

scenic meteor
#

If obedience is better than doomblade are people going venth for prog?

harsh anchor

limber lion

Venthyr is already the preferred covenant if you wanna play both sub and sin.

Even if Ob was bad, it wouldn't matter. :p

i will wait then till mythic raids and see what top dogs pick for prog

if guilds even let rogues on prog lol

Probably will get tuned post live

but why would u not let a rogue to progress?

So the obedience leggo vers buff extends another 12sec?

and 9.1 does not change this, rogue is heavily tuning dependent

#

its just that rogue is atm seemingly very well tuned (in 9.1)

The worse a group's tanks are, the more value we bring

retribution also is very popular rn so i assume its tuned very high
