i've got like 22%

thorny pond
#

best I can do is 3.5%

tacit wedge
#

played sin with 9% haste

#

"damn this gameplay is fast"

junior vale
#

guys what should i play necro or venthyr

#

or doesnt matter

tacit wedge
#

doesnt matter

thorny pond
#

whatever you enjoy more

tacit wedge
#

be chad, play skelly boys

sonic schooner
#

just dumb question, does sepsis proc gives u an empowered garrot?

grim jay
#

no

slender berry
#

no

sonic schooner
#

dammit sepsis really useless uh

silent fossil
strange silo
#

Can we craft doomblade on cloak at release or first in hc week?

south belfry
#

release

strange silo
#

now the bad question is it worth to craft it then or should we wait till hc tuning?

grim jay
#

you dont need it until you get your dom piece anyways

#

tho crafting rank 4, gold aside, isnt a huge problem

silent fossil
#

u wont have dom sockets week 1 anyway so no reason to re-craft unless u dont have it already. also wait until tuning if youre on the fence about covenant swap to venth since obedience would be better anyway

white kettle
#

People say that yet I destroy people in dps and dmg overall that play meta classes. It's perfectly fine, even in high keys you definitely can pull weight.

sick scarab
strange silo
#

i already bought it yea and i guess i need the 235 lego i just have 190 zoldyck pants atm had a big break xd and i dont think ill swap cov my venthyr is renown 0 and i dont wanna grind renown just did necro renown a week ago

severe sparrow
#

they already spiked hard on my server so gl

strange silo
#

even if i was to swap obedience is on cloak too right?

silent fossil
#

yes

wet sequoia
#

Hey guys, would there be a reason to wait switching from NF to Venthyr or should I start farming renown asap?

silent fossil
#

should look to switch off NF to anything else

gusty mirage
#

NF was left in the dust in 9.1 so I’d switch ASAP and start farming renown. There isn’t much else to do until the raid opens and season 2 begins

grim jay
#

considering its NF you are coming from, you should prolly switch to either necro or venth 😄

#

you should get to 40 or atleast close to 40 if you really try in a couple of days

wet sequoia
#

Ye I really don't like Outlaw so I'm going with the vampires. Just wasn't sure if there would be a benefit to wait before the switch.

calm dome
#

I heard farming renown will be easier at 9.1 ? Dont know how tho

gusty mirage
#

The 1-40 catch up is easier in 9.1, renown becomes “more likely to drop” iirc

grim jay
#

if you wanna be up to standard as soon as possible you should already start grinding back the renown

#

even if it gets easier in 9.1

wet sequoia
#

Yeah will do, thanks everyone :)

south prawn
#

guys can any1 let me know why am I doing more dmg assa in m+ than outlaw 😮

#

when im much more familiar with the outlaw rotation

willow eagle
#

Because sin is barely behind outlaw in terms of dps output

#

Especially on fortified weeks

south prawn
#

the ST is sexy too

silent fossil
#

doom blade isn't even that good for 2t

#

in the event obedience isnt nerfed it'll be best for all target counts

plain thistle
#

if obedience is better in ST than doomblade it will be in 2 target as well, since doomblade doesnt gain value with the extra target

south prawn
#

what leggo you guys running for m+?

cobalt pelican
#

if you're exclusively talking venthyr then yes

plain thistle
#

zoldyck

south prawn
#

currious as to what people are playing

true pelican
#

necro will still be a lot better for 2t+ though

winter glade
#

Is shiv used basically used cooldown; I saw its acceptable to hold it for like 10 secs to line up with Vendetta but apart from that is it ever right to hold shiv? Should I only shiv if I can immediately follow with envenom or have energy pooled etc.?

tight ginkgo
burnt star
#

i dont expect a nerf to obedience

#

if anything.. they should buff other leggo

#

this isnt 9.0

#

most class have leggo that have higher value then what obedience gives

slow helm
#

so obedience is taking the top spot now, what are we looking at then back or head? 😮

sturdy merlin
#

Back 👍🏻

bitter canyon
#

Is deathspike even going to be a BiS legendary for necrolords?

south belfry
#

No

#

Its shit now

azure bronze
bitter canyon
#

Saw people talking earlier about it being used in m+ but the fact that it’s not a single target dps increase making it on par or worse with zoldycks

#

saddddddddd :((

small steppe
#

!guide

slow helm
#

@sturdy merlin cant you get free socket and a domination socket in head? in 9.1?

grim jay
#

not legendaries

bitter canyon
#

Guides don’t seem to mention anything from 9.1 yet

sturdy merlin
#

You get a free "basic" socket i think

#

I'm not sure tho

azure bronze
sturdy merlin
#

Yes, a basic socket right ?

thorny pond
#

Yes

azure bronze
#

But since the raiding gear with domination sockets is better, you want to craft your legendary in a different slot

slow helm
#

btw, all the legendary items on ah atm are they gonna be trashed or vendor'd since they dont have a socket or will they get a socket when they get transformed into a legendary item?

azure bronze
thorny pond
#

Think for rogues this really only applies to outlaw since we’re crafting most of our leggo on cloak

polar ice
slow helm
#

@polar ice that was not what i asked but shyki answered it so no worries ^^

kindred shuttle
#

yo, so? everyone rerolling to venthyr now? 😄

tacit wedge
#

Is it possible that vanishing as i'm targeted by the Draw Soul from the lich boss in ToP will trigger it early?

limber lion
#

Necrolord is still the better choice in aoe.

slow helm
#

@kindred shuttle i been venthyr since kyrian and nightfae got trashed never liked necrolord xD

kindred shuttle
#

i like bonespike dont like the theme tho

#

i like minmaxing too so iam torn

thorny pond
#

Is cev is staying necro, high chances it is still a very very strong choice

polar ice
thorny pond
limber lion
kindred shuttle
#

true, i mean, necro is going to beat venthyr at the start until u can craft obedience

#

and m+ it will do shit

limber lion
#

But yeah, it just depends what you want to do.

polar ice
kindred shuttle
#

dont have time to have two rogues for m+ and for raiding

mighty bolt
thorny pond
#

You’re seeing a strong push off necro because not everyone is a pure sin pony. Venth gained great value simply because sub became viable

limber lion
#

I'll wait.

thorny pond
#

This doesn’t diminish necros value

thorny pond
bitter canyon
#

Zoldycks is still BiS for m+ correct?

limber lion
bleak sky
#

🍿

limber lion
#

That's fine

#

I already got the sim

frail forge
#

Isnt Sub now viable (dps wise) for M+ alongside outlaw?

limber lion
limber lion
#

That's a dungeon slice sim

#

That's not 2t

#

or 3t

#

This is 2t

Also not the same spec 😄

sub vs sin there

limber lion
#

not a sin one

hazy crater
limber lion
#

What the hell

#

He's not even comparing Necro vs Venthyr

#

He's literally comparing Sub vs Sin

#

And he said "2-3 T"

And links a dungeon slice sim

#

sub vs sin 2-3 T monkahmm

#

i wonder who wins

polar ice
#

just trying to be helpful, its whats out. i see patch as st not cleave

hoary fulcrum
#

Off topic. Will great vault reward the new rewards on reset/patch? Or will it reward the ilvls it does now?

limber lion
#

Is there a language barrier or something here

limber lion
#

So 226 for 14+

hoary fulcrum
#

Thanks guys. Just making sure!

bleak sky
#

2nd week = good gear

midnight marlin
#

Why is doomblade higher

bleak sky
#

tfw have to craft 2 obediences sad

plain thistle
#

doomblade is better for necro

limber lion
#

Obedience is a venthyr covenant legendary

south belfry
#

We wont get obedience until mythic week right?

plain thistle
#

because you cant use obedience as necro 😂

limber lion
#

Can't use Obedience as necro

midnight marlin
#

Oh I’m an idiot lol

bleak sky
south belfry
#

Ya so mythic week

bleak sky
limber lion
#

It's not really that important

#

It's a cloak

#

It's an item with the lowest amount of secondaries

bleak sky
#

saving soul ash kreygasm

limber lion
#

Back gives the same amount of secondaries as wrists

#

It's not really that important

#

Just use crit for both and either haste or vers

#

it's fine

south belfry
#

!guide

midnight marlin
#

So would venthyr sub be better than necro sin in m+?

plain thistle
frank jetty
#

perhaps

kindred shuttle
#

lets go

frank jetty
#

perhaps not

south belfry
#

Highly depends on obedience if it stays like it currently is

cerulean nest
#

you still staying necro sin @limber lion

#

?

frail forge
#

Venth sub is beating necro outlaw currently in Dslice so "dps wise" i'd think it'd be better than necro Sin

limber lion
cerulean nest
#

gotcha

#

i'm following you into battle

digital zodiac
#

which quest?

frail forge
#

The quest you pickup in oribos to switch back to the covenant you've already been on

digital zodiac
#

ahhh

limber lion
candid geyser
#

If my rogues never been venthyr.. it’s two weeks to swap right? So I should do first quest before reset and do second on Tuesday?

midnight marlin
#

pretty sure it's immediate if never been venthyr

limber lion
#

Only the process of swapping back to a covenant you've already been once takes 2 weeks.

cerulean nest
#

had to learn that the hard way immediately switching to 0 Renown necro in the middle of prog lol

candid geyser
#

Ooof. Copy thanks. Almost oof’d right now. Glad I asked lol

manic prism
#

wait, so if i started kyrian, swapped necro, want to go venthyr, thats instant

gusty mirage
#

correct

manic prism
#

oh snap i almost goofed as well LOL

teal bloom
#

only 4 renown from 16 raid bosses 😦 17 to 21

limber lion
#

Yes, that is what a lot of us are doing lol

vestal wren
limber lion
vestal wren
#

thats true

#

but both choices are fine

limber lion
#

Ah yeh

#

Good to have them both leveled up and quests done so you can swap if you want.

#

:p

gusty mirage
#

kinda like how a lot of people are butthurt that sub's good again

vestal wren
#

haha^^

#

i mean my aim is to inform people and let them make educated decisions

limber lion
#

I gotta say

#

I really like the deathly shadows opener on Venth sub with Obedience

gusty mirage
#

can't play venthyr without the cheese huh Cev

#

😛

limber lion
#

So it's definitely a contender in my mind.

viscid spear
#

Is the new dungeon up the 1st week?

limber lion
limber lion
#

It opens up the second week.

viscid spear
limber lion
gusty mirage
#

yeppers

#

we'll have a lot of time on our hands next week

#

farming the maw and just doing random stuff to test out stuff

viscid spear
#

Yeah, Flag hits like a truck, so much more satisfying than Sepsis

gusty mirage
#

the re-work made it so much better

#

before it felt and was almost a waste of a gcd

viscid spear
#

I see that,it's sweet

gusty mirage
#

some spicy crits are possible w/ lashing scars too

viscid spear
#

Got lucky with a 200ilvl Lashing drop from a cache

#

Huge improvement over the 145 you initially get

analog glade
sonic schooner
#

ok i ve decided

#

me staying necro peepohappy

viscid spear
#

thanksfriend let me know how you do, fren

pure sentinel
#

what is main sin lego?

spare flame
#

So has it changed that Necro is better as soon as another target gets involved?

hushed veldt
#

hey guys, what whas the site i could check the pinned statistics? i can't remember it

somber breach
#

If Obedience nerfs come out, when is the time of highest probability for this to happen? I literally just swapped back to necro and have both at 40, going to start the quest next week for venthy swap back and hold onto turning it in the week after. ~500 seems fairly significant

limber lion
limber lion
#

If it doesn't happen during heroic week, it's not happening in a month

azure bronze
#

Or after World progress

limber lion
#

It's either before the mythic raid comes out

#

or after a month or so of progress.

#

Like after HoF has closed.

vale marten
#

i could be wrong but dont you need to be venthyr on wed so you can get obidience on mythic week?

limber lion
#

They might nerf things that are crazy and out of proportion

vale marten
#

since its renown dependent

limber lion
#

but Obedience and Sub isn't really.

limber lion
vale marten
#

so catch up starts so early?

#

thought it would take a while

somber breach
#

I thought catchup has always been like that.

limber lion
#

It has always been like that.

misty holly
#

What buffs did Sub get that has it simming higher now? They are pretty far behind in 9.0.5

limber lion
#

There is a limit to what renown you can get up to

#

But that's it.

limber lion
#

Most of it is in the patch notes.

misty holly
#

I saw backstab buff and the aoe buff

limber lion
#

Yeah and Shadow Techniques, that's the big one

misty holly
#

but for single target I dont remember anything

limber lion
#

Introduction of Obedience is massive

#

Obedience is a new legendary in 9.1

pure moth
#

13,165 sim for necro doomblade and venthyr doomblade were the same? Weird

abstract arch
#

is it safe to craft doomblade on back as of now or still wait ?

limber lion
#

The new slot is available in 9.1

#

But you should still wait.

abstract arch
#

oh ty

limber lion
#

No need to rush it, especially if you already have the legendary on another slot.

misty holly
#

The only reasons I can think someone would want to recraft a rank 4 now is #1 they don't plan to make a rank 5 for a long time, or #2 they have multiple rank 5s to craft asap and some will have to wait for a long time

#

so they need the rank 4 in the meantime

paper cairn
#

I mean cloaks only cost 7k at rank 4

#

figured why not

azure bronze
#

Here on eu draenor they are around 18k

grim jay
#

considering 18k still isnt something big... 😄

#

there are servers with higher prices

paper cairn
#

they went up to 9k, beat the rush on em, ez but yeah no reason to buy unless you got money to burn

pure sentinel
#

illidan is the cheapest server

#

chad server

mortal quiver
#

Last I looked on my server they were like 30 k

rustic thunder
#

same

quaint carbon
gusty mirage
mortal quiver
pure sentinel
#

so i shouldn’t buy the legendaries rn right?

rustic thunder
cyan kite
#

dumb question but do we use Crimson Tempest in the rotation on single target pulls? (assuming it's talented due to other reasons)

mortal quiver
#

I'm still torn on going back to Venth or staying necro. I like both play styles so it doesn't really matter to me. And I rotate through all 3 specs just to have fun and depending on what I'm doing.

somber dove
gusty mirage
cyan kite
#

👍 thanks boys

south prawn
#

any dungeons were outlaw is just much better than assa? I feel like theater of pain is one of them but can't think of other dungs?

mortal quiver
#

does the bleed from crimson tempest count as a bleed for doomblade increasae

limber lion
#

Assassination is the underdog.

gusty mirage
lone wren
#

Assassination from a pure DPS perspective is actually really good and valid in high keys. Outlaw's CC is what makes them more appealing. MDI is 18/17. If you are pushing 20+ keys where survivability and kiting and avoiding damage is important. Assassination can be very good. Usually pulls in higher keys aren't as big as MDI style pulls in 17/18s either.

cobalt hemlock
#

if you complete the first quest to switch covenant and then week later turn it in because you decided to switch do you have to wait week to get second one or i didnt understand it from the text before

limber lion
#

You need to complete it this week and return it this week

#

to get the second part of the quest next week

cobalt hemlock
#

so its not like a weekly thing that if you do it before it weekly reset you get it imidiately when weekly stuff resets

limber lion
#

If you do the first part on tuesday, you can pick up the second part on Wednesday

#

If you do the first part on a Thursday, you'll have to wait almost a week for the reset.

cobalt hemlock
#

ah thanks

swift sigil
#

Just switched Venth. When do I use Flag in my rotation?

cobalt hemlock
#

at start with vendeta to get as much combo points into it as possible i think (correct me if im wrong)

lost mist
ruby birch
#

^ That for opener and fights where you wont get an extra cast of flag

#

Otherwise flag on CD with full CP (or 1 - full CP)

lost mist
#

Flag on CD or every 2 min with vendetta if u won't miss a cast

teal bloom
#

I am currently 24 venthyr renown and i have done first quest to switch back to necrolord. This is so much work but I don't want to grind renown from 0 after patch hits if obedience doesn't get nerfed lol

gloomy knoll
#

why would it get nerfed

#

facepalm i hate rogues so much man

#

gets a halfway decent legendary

#

aye yo nerf this shit i wanna be unwanted and a meme

lost mist
#

Venth rogues with obedience shouldn't be beating venthyr boomkins nor spriest so is unfair that they nerf us

gloomy knoll
#

we're not

#

spriest is still ahead of us

#

rogue is still diet spriest

lost mist
#

"shouldn't be beating"

#

Should not

#

NOT

gloomy knoll
#

we aren't

#

and won't be

cobalt pelican
#

very functional conversation everyone keep it up

lost mist
#

Sure we don't

gloomy knoll
#

according to preliminary sims

lost mist
#

I think im unable to speak correctly

#

Lol

teal bloom
#

the dagger effect isn't implemented yet but I doubt we'll be the best class even with it 😄

lost mist
#

What i said is that spriest and boomkins have more dmg than us, so thats why is unfair if they nerf us

gloomy knoll
#

we're looking competitive enough to warrant taking to raid

#

that's all that matters

lost mist
#

Plus we are melee

gloomy knoll
#

yes and what i said is you are correct

#

according to preliminary sims we are worse

#

just backing you up lmao

Omg i hate my native language.

#

dude if youre not in a top 20 guild what you play should barely matter, if you are good at playing your class and the raid.

gloomy knoll
#

unfortunately community perception of the meta affects all guilds

gloomy knoll
#

even if we wouldn't like it to

lost mist
#

Next patch: dude, if youre not in top 5 guild just go meme builds

gloomy knoll
#

and who's to blame people

#

for trying to recruit good specs

shy dust
#

I mean

gloomy knoll
#

it literally makes their job easier

#

you can do sludgefist with 15 melee or with 4

#

ones a lot fucking easier

shy dust
#

Community perception does effect you even if you’re outside of the top 20 or whatever arbitrary number you set

#

In 9.0 there were some good rogues I knew that struggled to find guilds

#

Solely because of how bad rogue was seen

lost mist
#

Rogues were good only after hof ended lol

shy dust
#

No

lost mist
#

Just bc sin buffs

shy dust
#

Okay yeah

#

After 9.0.5 launched

woeful juniper
#

Rog was in a way worse spot then. Now it is not seen as a bad class at all

shy dust
#

Rogue was much worse spot

#

I agree rogue is much better position now

#

But community perception affects people even outside of the cutting edge of raiders

gloomy knoll
#

shouldn't have started this argument back up my bad

sonic schooner
#

Regarding pvp. They had mage palret war dp chamenh

#

What did they nerf?

#

Rogue

gloomy knoll
#

i just get so triggered when I see rogues talking about nerfs lol

#

like just fucking be happy

#

we finally get something

ruby birch
#

Rogue is targeted because of community perception

gloomy knoll
#

halfway decent

cobalt pelican
#

tbh the people who say

ruby birch
#

Blizzard doesn't balance to please the top 1% of players

lost mist
#

Now we are in the position that we deserve as a 3 dps spec class, its no sense that classes that have a lot more of utility and can swap between roles, have better dps than us

ruby birch
#

They balance to please the general playerbase, which unfortunately hates rogues

gloomy knoll
#

i feel like the playerbase hates rogues because of pvp though

sonic schooner
#

Also why would u want obedience to be nerfed? Just ask for a buff on other things

gloomy knoll
#

cuz they get kidneyd and die

sonic schooner
gloomy knoll
ruby birch
#

Yes they do

#

Because rogues are noobstompers

#

And many people who play the game suck at PvP

gloomy knoll
#

not my fault you trinketed sap

woeful juniper
#

either way we probably wont be the best class in the tier but if your guild lead at world rank 100+ bases their roster decisions of limit and echo hes a dumbass.

ruby birch
#

It also doesn't help that we are a stealth class

sonic schooner
#

Community "rogue stealth makes it unfair"

ruby birch
#

People hate stealth classes in any game

lost mist
shy dust
#

I mean

#

Rogue was very overtuned lol

sonic schooner
#

But they don't care about drood mage hunt kekw

gloomy knoll
#

picking good classes and specs literally makes your life as a raider easier

#

and increases your odds of success

#

yea being a total asshole about it and chasing only pure bis instead of just looking for good players is dumb

#

but that doesn't mean you ignore raid comp to make people feel good

ruby birch
cobalt pelican
#

it's literally the same thing as people saying you can do high keys as any spec while playing in a premade group all season

#

like ye it's true but

ruby birch
#

Perhaps the conduit was a bit overkill

cobalt pelican
#

you're not uniquely better than every other app guilds get

#

so it actually will impact you regardless

sonic schooner
#

Sub without mage burst would be oktier

i play with a blood dk and a resto druid

sonic schooner

Blame mages

gloomy knoll
#

we cap ourselves on keys we can do

#

because they do 0 damage

#

i play with them because they're good players and i like them

#

but do i want to do higher keys or have an easier time doing keys

#

yea

#

why should any raid leader not feel the same way

shy dust
#

One of the highest rated

#

3s teams on the ladder was triple rogue

#

Rogue was very overtuned in PvP

ruby birch
#

Rae

shy dust
#

Doesn’t mean that other things weren’t also overtuned

woeful juniper
#

we probalby should stop here this is kinda getting out of hand and were in the wrong channel for this ^^.

ruby birch
#

People in the early season literally did not even know how MA worked

sonic schooner
#

Let's not talk about triple boomie this season kekw

ruby birch
#

And the amount of non pvpers that were pushing making shit a joke this season

#

Is unreal

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

very early on er was hitting for like 10k lol

before rotten memes

shy dust
#

Doesn’t mean other things weren’t also OP

ruby birch
#

OP is relative

shy dust
#

Why people take this stance is besides me

#

Rogue was very overtuned

#

ER was insane

ruby birch
#

How is sub OP if more than half the classes fit that category omegalul

#

It was just cheap shot mixed with MA

sonic schooner
#

Echoing hitting for 60%hp

gloomy knoll
#

because it was op

#

other classes also being op

#

doesn't make the category suddenly

#

not op

what

#

cmon bro just stop

ruby birch

OP is relative but okay

gloomy knoll
#

could literally global people

in .03 seconds

ruby birch

you literally just arguing in bad faith at this point

you cannot fucking do anything

#

there's a big fucking difference

#

between a paladin running at you in wings

gusty mirage
ruby birch
#

Did you even attempt climbing early season 1????

gloomy knoll
#

and you dying instantly when you can't even see the enemy

sonic schooner
#

Yea oxi

#

XD

gloomy knoll
#

and if you can't see that you actually just dumb

shy dust
#

Ret wasn’t as bad as ER rogue

ruby birch
#

It was literally all paladins and warriors

gloomy knoll
#

you legit just dumb

shy dust
#

Not the pre nerf

gloomy knoll
#

if you think they the same

shy dust
#

It was a massive amount of ER rogue

harsh anchor
#

How do you anticipate a 1 shot before it happens. It happens and you’re dead.

gloomy knoll
#

and usually i'm not one for insults but

#

yea

#

....

ruby birch
#

Are you on EU Rae

gloomy knoll
#

there's a massive fucking difference

ruby birch
#

Cuz I have no clue how EU was

shy dust
#

I was NA

#

I played lots of games to start the season

#

Kyrian rogue was very overtuned

ruby birch
#

NA was dominated by ER rogues for a VERY short period of time

gloomy knoll
#

at the beginning of the season

#

before ER nerf

shy dust
#

Yes until it was deservedly nerfed

gloomy knoll
#

rogue was the most broken spec in pvp

#

you literally could not do a single thing to stop them

sonic schooner
#

Definitely was

ruby birch
#

Okay so we're talking about pre-any gear

gloomy knoll
ruby birch
#

Back when you'd run drest

#

In pvp

#

In SL season 1

shy dust
#

Dps Vers scales harder

#

Than defensive

ruby birch
#

Yes

shy dust
#

So sub would have still 1 shot

#

Correct

#

Given ER would have been hitting harder

ruby birch
#

If release ER was in the game rn?

#

Honestly, I do not know if it would be one shotting

shy dust
#

ER would be clapping

#

With 226 reverb 30% Vers gear

gloomy knoll
#

er hittin for 20-30k

#

kek

shy dust
#

On top of the fact you can freely force crits on one of your hardest hitting spells

ruby birch
#

Eh, I don't think it would hit for 30k

sonic schooner
#

Yea it was basically 60-80% max hp from only er

rigid pine
#

Well add that to shadowblades damage and unnerfed cold blood + more ns damage

#

Those were nerfed too

shy dust
#

^

#

Deservedly nerfed

#

I pushed the early season as a night Fae rogue

sonic schooner
#

Yea we needed a nerf

shy dust
#

Would have been much easier if I could just hit someone for half their hp with ER

sonic schooner
#

But we also needed adjustment

apparently night fae is the best now @indigo ginkgo

seeing the pins now, and seeing that obidience got buffed ?

gusty mirage

didn't get buffed

limber lion
#

They fixed it

#

Very cool

gusty mirage
#

the sims were adjusted to reflect the fix and there was optimization done by whispyr

indigo ginkgo
#

nice the diference betwin spesc aint so ++ now

#

just have to stopm necro campaing and then switch back to my vap friends

#

stomp *

limber lion

And it gaining buffs inflates that even further.

indigo ginkgo
limber lion

Or rather, them fixing the vers.

they should jsut remove this 1 weeak penalti to switch back covent

No

Get time-gated on useless dogshit borrowed power that is vital to your gameplay and experience, sucker

They should just add the 4 covenant abilities as new talents and have the covenants just be purely cosmetic

chilly path
#

getting into pvp with sin. do you use wound poison or deadly poison in arenas?

shy dust
#

Who knows

#

Just gotta wait and see

shy dust
#

Each spec could have uses on a boss

scarlet sequoia
#

dont forget if u go sub u have to be able to play the spec

#

usually looks a lot worse than it sims

ruby birch
#

Sin is generally going to be a better pick for progress if the DPS is close

#

So depends how comfortable you are with sub

chilly path
#

if you prioritize haste/vers instead of haste/crit for PvE, does it make a noticable difference in DPS?

gloomy knoll
#

the better spec for a fight is the better spec for a fight

#

you sucking doesn't change that

scarlet sequoia
#

it might

ruby birch
#

It does change that omegalul

indigo ginkgo
gloomy knoll
#

for you maybe

#

not for the spec

#

the spec is still better

#

u just bad

ruby birch
#

???

#

So if someone is bad at sub but good at sin

gloomy knoll
#

but sub is bis for a fight

ruby birch
#

They should go sub cuz its better for the fight?

gloomy knoll
#

yes sub is still bis for the fight

ruby birch
#

Okay

gloomy knoll
#

not saying they should play it

ruby birch
#

That doesn't change the fact that they'd be more likely to progress playing sin

gloomy knoll
#

but them sucking doesn't change the fact that sin is bis in cleave

ruby birch
#

Than they would be trying to learn sub

gloomy knoll
#

the same way if they sucked at sin

ruby birch
#

Okay

#

Listen

#

This is irrelevant

umbral rapids
gloomy knoll
#

yea

#

it was a joke

#

hence the OMEGAKEKW

royal lantern
#

if you dont wanna be ussules, you would play litearly every single other class that is no rogue

the best for a fight is the best class for a fight

What if we play every single spec of rogue and only that?

#

So, sin and sub?

Whats the best way sim all my dungeon gear on my bag at 220 without having to enter them manually in gear compare? Sadly top gear keeps them at the current level, and I haven't figure out a way to modify the the ilvl on the text. Or a way to select select certain items from droptimizer rather than all of them.

i wanna make memes again

look for the ones you have

probably the easiest way

ah so the sim itself is just big

Dungeon Slice just takes forever

gloomy knoll
#

yea it do be like that also

#

lol

vapid nimbus
#

I wish I could just raise everything to 220 on top gear u.u

#

Also, after I pick one piece of gear to upgrade and equip, I should re sim for the next best piece right?

safe barn

ok

We should get some stamina aswell

gusty mirage

that last pin

gusty mirage
#

oh that's because people don't know how to stop speculating/bitching about obedience and sub being strong

if I hear one more "sub suffers more from downtime" argument I might actually mute the entire server until mythic week

how many times do we have to say that if you choose to stay at sin you'll be fine?

Everything after the # is a comment, meaning that it's not taken into account in the sim.

hollow oasis

Then there is me, happy about being able to switch from sub and sin without needing 2 different cov or leggos

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

It would be
head=,id=180106,bonus_id=7255/7359/6652/7193/1514/6646,ilevel=220

gusty mirage
#

but

#

if you do change it on that part

#

it will reflect the change in topgear

#

because topgear uses that part to pull additional items

gusty mirage
#

for example:

# neck=,id=180115,bonus_id=7359/6652/7193/7387/1534/6646,ilevel=226```
would force my 220 neck to 226 in topgear
vapid nimbus
#

THANKS GUYS!!!

limber lion
#

It would not work outside of Top Gear though, in case you're simming for advanced stuff.

gusty mirage
#

^ yeah that's super important to note

#

if you change something in the "gear in bags" portion the advanced sim will just ignore it

vapid nimbus

I appreciate the info 😊

I wonder why this macro prios mouseover over target

#

#showtooltip Garrote
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Garrote

#

If im mouseovering a target that i'm not in range, it just wont cast garrote even on my target

tulip nacelle
#

if you do have a mouseover it will always cast on mouseover

placid adder
#

is there a good way to manage the conduit energy between sin and outlaw raiding 2 nights a week

tulip nacelle

(a mouseover that meets those conditions)

humble ginkgo

does EP also increase dot dmg?

Can i macro it so if i have an target that my mouseover cant reach, it will cast on my target?

according to OL pins heimir is better lol

the difference is not something that will make or break stuff

youve more uptime on lbe in a dungeon than in sims anyway

you run out of energy pretty fast if you swap conduits often so emeni is safe choice

@thorny pond its learning time

sonic spire
pliant nest
#

is it worth dotting the other bosses on council for more energy regen?

gusty mirage
#

Yes

#

Ideal amount of bleeds for ST is ~5

pliant nest
#

all 3 of them?

#

ah ok thanks

gusty mirage
#

but you can stick to 4 if its more comfortable/easier for you

teal bluff
#

what does it mean that ideal amount of bleeds for ST is 5? Don't we only have garrote and rupture? This is a really dumb question but I'm just wondering

gusty mirage
tulip nacelle
#

energy saturation for single target

teal bluff
#

oh ok got it so 5 bleeds between all 3 of the council bosses

gusty mirage
#

yeppers

limber lion
#

Just put garrotes/ruptures up on one extra target

#

Not worth it on all 3

gusty mirage
#

the gain from 4 to 5 isn't worth running around like a chicken

limber lion
#

It's already very hectic trying to maintain 4 bleeds

gusty mirage
#

yeah

#

esp on stavros and his 30 yard dash

deep solstice
#

Imagine if this was wrath and you also needed to keep up Hunger for Blood. pepeclown

kindred rapids
#

Are there are some forms of conditionals they are limited

#

And no flow control

#

In macros

echo geyser
#

in the council scenario do u guys just fok to apply poisons or do u tab target to dot then just get ur melees to apply it?

burnt star
kindred rapids
#

Poison falls off before bleeds

#

So you'll want to refresh with fok

teal bluff
#

so my raid lusts on the first pillar for sludge,is it better to save vendetta for the first pillar to use it with lust, and then use it again on the third pillar, or should i vendetta on pull, and then get 2 more uses out of it?

winged basin
#

when your guild wants to eliminate a rogue POGGIES

deep solstice
#

Will depend how many total pillars you have access to I think.

winged basin
#

when that rogue is gonna be you sad

teal bluff
#

mythic

limber lion
#

It's honestly fine just using cd's on first pillar, you'll have em up before the charge to the wall

kindred rapids
#

If you lust first pillar save CDs

viscid spear
#

When you're the only one in the guild that plays Rogue at max content ez

limber lion
#

There's a chance you won't get 3rd cd's which would be worse

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Yep ^

kindred rapids
#

Most use lust on 4th pillar though

deep solstice
#

You should try very hard to convince them to lust 4th pillar unless you are beating 4th pillar somehow.

teal bluff
#

yeah i'll have to try to convince them

deep solstice
#

It's better for literally every dps in the raid. 2 and 3 min classes line up on 4th pillar.

west geode
#

In Mythic plus ,when pulls can number higher then 5, what’s the most optimal rotation as necro? And how many target should I keep dots up ?

limber lion
#

Use garrote on cd, maintain CT, maintain SnD with Envenom, apply Ruptures to everything, apply SBS to everything

lost mist
#

on pull-2nd pillar- 4th pillar OR 1st pillar-3rd pillar-wall, so if they lust on 1st and the boss will smash the wall, then save vendetta for 1st pillar, if u will kill him before the charge on wall u should just burst at pull, 2nd and 4th

kindred rapids
#

Just do everything 😁

thorny pond
kindred rapids
#

So what part of flag are we supposed to be syncing vendetta with?

teal bluff
#

just hit everything on cd and maintain everything lol, its one of the faq

kindred rapids
#

With obedience

#

The cast or the buff?

balmy condor
#

the cast

#

the full thing is 24 seconds, does damage for the first 12

#

so you want to get the damage part into vend

kindred rapids
#

Ah ok

deep solstice
#

Assuming you always had a perfect flag though, 30% haste/vers for 4 extra seconds inside vendetta is probably worth vs 4 extra seconds of the cast I would think? 4 secs is, at best, 2 extra envenoms, usually 1.

kindred rapids
#

Yeah I could see delaying it 4 sec

deep solstice
#

you'd just flag 4 seconds before vendetta

trim forge
#

Swapping to a sin rogue for 9.1; besides pins are there any other good off discord places to start hitting up (analogous to Dreamgrove or Storm,Earth & Lava)?

@deep solstice thanks; I apologize for using analogous

Sub or assa for raiding in 9.1?

south oak
#

The equivelent is Ravenholdt website @trim forge as far as i know

trim forge
#

@thorny pond just fishing for good places to hit up that aren’t on the beaten path. My other classes have sites and streams that are super helpful

#

@south oak thanks

deep solstice
#

@kindred rapids So remembering the CD reduction part exists.....the only real question would be in the extreme rare circumstance that you use enough CP that flag is up before vendetta, is it worth flagging on CD or do you hold to line it up with vendetta?

thorny pond
#

Tons of content here
Check out our streamer channel for more specifics

#

@balmy condor is streaming simming currently if that fancies your interest

south oak
#

There is alot of active theorycrafters on here, so remember to check out pinned messages in the relevant spec channels @trim forge

and welcome pandawave

deep solstice
#

If you scroll all the way down the pins there is an actual written rotation guide, if that is what you were asking for @trim forge

arctic walrus
trim forge
#

It’s become apparent to me after asking “besides pins” that nothing else exist for rogues 😆

pure sentinel
#

is sin or sub playable in m+ compared to outlaw in 9.1

deep solstice
#

Sin is already comparable, and sub aoe dps is getting buffed quite a bit.

pure sentinel
#

so they will no be able to?

deep solstice
#

in 9.1 all 3 specs will be viable for m+.

gusty mirage
#

for the first time in forever all 3 specs are competitive

ornate lake
#

Can somebody explain the change to shiv to me?

gusty mirage
deep solstice
#

shiv now soothes by default

ornate lake
#

In the notes it's mentioned

gusty mirage
#

probably just a tooltip change

deep solstice
#

numbing poison causes shiv to further slow casting speed, in addition to soothing

limber lion
#

Shiv soothes now without the need to use Numbing Poison

#

You can use Crippling Poison and it'll still soothe.

ornate lake
#

Cheers 🙌

gusty mirage
deep solstice
#

I hope that shiv soothing by default was not blizzard's implementation of "rogue raid utility".

balmy condor
#

probably not

deep solstice
#

"probably"

oak sky
#

Its obviously not really for raid no?

ornate lake
#

I hoped for smoke bonb utility. But I think we should have seen it implemented by now

oak sky
#

Theyre probably working on something more creative than smoke bomb dr copium

#

And thats why its taking time

south belfry
#

Honestly rogue should just give crit aura or something

zealous marsh
#

How many necro enjoyers are left here?

oak sky
#

Or maybe theyre thinking about feral, sv, etc at the same time and want to give multiple specs some raid stuff at once

frail forge
#

I thought that shiv granting a 25% cast/attack speed debuff was our utility...until it didnt work on bosses

deep solstice
#

Let's give rogue an ability that allows it to finish bosses. IE all raid bosses sit at 1hp forever unless there is a rogue in the raid to kill them.

frail forge
#

Which I still think may be a bug since numbing does

ornate lake
deep solstice
#

I am honestly expecing to see heimir's final soulbind ability get a small buff, so not too worried about necrolord.

zealous marsh
#

i've just looked up on pins

#

from first glance it is just obedience being better isn't it?

ornate lake
#

Yes. Even competitive on dungeon slice

zealous marsh
#

when i've started enjoying gemstone

#

which is right after i rerolled to necro

south belfry
#

You are still fine playing necro dw

deep solstice
#

flag will rarely get full dslice value in a real key tho, so sim maybe not 100% comparable for real world use.

zealous marsh
#

i would be fine playing fae

#

we talk about raid

#

coz after heroic nerf hammers will start to fly left and right

deep solstice
#

ya until like a month after mythic launch there will likely still be tuning hotfixes like every week

#

still hoping they buff deathspike slightly....tbh I'd be fine with all the covenant leggos being BiS for some form of content. Something new to play with

deft obsidian
#

Feels like the deathspike leggo needs a total rework tbh

zealous marsh
#

Deathspike lego would be nice if it would hit all targets at once

#

And every tick of dot had a chance of giving cp

deep solstice
#

deathspike was already very op with just 2 additional targets

#

with 1 it's slightly undertuned

deft obsidian
#

I mean not that necro rogue is the only class/cov with a dumpster leggo but one can hope for improvements

deep solstice
#

because sepsis sucks....they need to just redesign sepsis, again.

deft obsidian
zealous marsh
#

Kyrian one isn’t shitty too?

I don’t remember tho

But why Thonk ?

gusty mirage

I just don't like that

gusty mirage
#

rogues are so weird

instead of asking for the other stuff to get buffed

#

we want the good stuff to get nerfed

#

y'all are fried

#

Or just wipe out covenants being anything other than cosmetic flexing tbh 😂

south belfry
#

Who the fuck cries about his classes legendary being good

Well tbh i personally would like to poison bomb being removed

I don't really get why our primary aoe finisher is from a talent anyway haha. Kinda a dumb design.

That's like putting starfall and sunfire on the tier 50 row for boomies.

Not sunfire

#

tier 60 row when?

#

Can't have a ST spec have an AoE finisher baseline you know!

royal lantern
deep solstice
#

Sunfire being their closest equivelant to poison bomb, "passive" aoe damage

#

yeha

#

It’s not like multi dotting exists

oak sky
#

Ig

royal lantern
#

dont say that out loud

shy dust
#

CT is bonkers

#

Assa doesn’t need it baseline lol

deep solstice
#

multidotting is cleave though, not aoe

royal lantern
#

^

zealous marsh
#

It is

#

But fok talent?

royal lantern
#

the fok talent is shit and needs a rework

#

but its rogue

deft obsidian
#

Need vs want, the ever revolving debate 😂

royal lantern
#

so it will stay that way for 3more expacs until something happens

oak sky
#

If pb was baseline i wouldnt mind it really

zealous marsh
#

And poison bomb?

oak sky
#

Its kinda satisfying to get one

shy dust
#

Poison bomb is fine

#

It’s a fire and forget talent

oak sky
#

Yea

royal lantern
#

i mean, pb barely does any dmg anyway

shy dust
#

It’s also a st increase on an aoe talent row

deep solstice
#

PB used to be strong as fuck. Diff in a good parse or a bad one was getting PB procs lol.

zealous marsh
#

Pb procs and in that moment boss moves

#

Don’t make a difference

royal lantern

legion pb was the worst shit ever
