ye anytime there are going to be more than 1 target as if you're doing sire, you can refuse to cast envenom but instead cast CT if you really want to ultrapad the meters
cuz it always lines up that way, when the adds spawn in when your rotation hits its gonna be an envenom on the boss or a CT on everything
well obviously you ct everything KEKW
yes, obviously 
@limber lion about the earlier energy regen stuff, in +2t scenario why does it matter to have a min energy regen?
i meant 17 seconds
in the sim
he uses CT again before putting ruptrues on targets 2 and 3
CT is higher prio than rupture in aoe
We reach energy saturation with 2 garrotes, 1 rupture and the Vendetta energy regen
Yeah but i mean why CT needs to have a min of 20 energy regen
well, a min of energy regen at all
let me copy the apl line
Having energy regen is more important than doing damage with CT
It's just a condition to apply garrotes/ruptures first before using CT.
You'll just sit there without energy if you start with CT
:P
on sire when adds spawn and both sire and remornia already have CT do you delay or just use it again?
Just use it again
guess it kinda depends on the time thats left on sire and remornia?
Nah
Just use it again
Just make sure not to reapply CT like 2s before the adds spawn
yea obviously
If it was reapplied like 5s or something before they spawn then that's perfectly fine
I guess I just need to work on my CT usage on those fights. I think I envenom too much
P2 is all about maintaining as many bleeds as you can and maintaining SnD with Envenom
But yeh, that's a good start.
For reference, CT is my highest damage in p2.
hello, does anyone know in wich slot they gonna give us dommblade in 9.1, related to domination socket wich will be on both gloves and shoulders
I mean i am doing fine, but you can always do better 
Cloak
For sure.
My Envenom is my 6th highest damaging ability in P2.
How much are you doing in p2 again?
8265
78.73%
thank you
how much on adds 
Just the cabalists?
yea
2048
your logs puplic?
No, unfortunately

yea same
i mean thats good ^^
Id like to ask a question sorry if it's redundant, i was told that thanks to it's up in damages, Sub could be quite good in M+? is it true ? and are we talking in the same sense that outlaw is ? Or is it something nobody know quite yet ?
Could be
pretty sure outlol will still be preferred in M+
Sub is m ore reliant on big pulls
M+ is alot more about when you have damage and what your setup is like. Even if Sub does more dmg in huge pulls outlaw still bring a very good dmg profile that could be more useful. Granted Sub will for sure not be bad.
and wanted an honest opinion on rogues popularity in pug groupe , i know it's meta i higher keys but to be honnest i see myself only going to mid/high tier ( like around +17-18 actualy). Is rogue wanted or is it difficult to find groupes still ?
up until 20+ it really doesnt matter what spec you play, regardless of class, and even then, you have those who make it work
also gouge op
you will be fine playing rogue and getting into groups
but tbh there is so much competiton when it comes to dps slots so no matter what you play you wont get invited to everything
M+ pug life is fine, as long as you get in early and get score, you'll find getting groups for higher keys no bother
Right , is it more a war of Rdps vs Melee ?
once you startt o fall behind though it gets pretty tough
in 9.0 you could play almost anything up to a 23 key. In 9.1 you should be super safe playing Sub at the equivalent level of keys.
No, but usualy theres 2 range and 1 melee spot
nah, rogues have their spots
Heck the pugs
i believe removal of Prideful leaves Shroud valueable may be 2 shroud skips even possible
that too, didnt think of that
Shroud is good with or without prideful
but i want gouge as baseline as it used to be
I think it lessens shroud and gives a open spot for a higher damaging melee class to come in. The only reason shroud was actually useful was because you had Prides and had to invis them to get pass them and then use shroud for normal skips since invis pot was down. With prides gone, invis pots will have other uses then to be wasted on Prides.
Its still useful
uhm the way the new affix works shroud could be very stong to skip to get more buffs before clearing
tbh 3 dps if we talking about mage druid shaman best if i m not mistaken
i m not pro of M+ but it is looking like that
may be swap one with wlock i dont mind
Not necessarily in 9.1
Basicaly i rerolled hunter at the start because my groupe needed a distance and i'v been fine with it, but with the recent changes i wouldn't mind giving my rogue another go as my group imploded. I dislike playing outlaw altho if i have to i will . That's why i asked for sub
WW puts out that damage as well
Shroud always has value just since it opens up more options
%1000 true
Even if meta routes end up not using shroud for a particular dungeon, by no means makes shroud bad
you had less options for shroud with pride. you have more options now, we'll have to explore whether those new options are worth it
some dungeons you might pull entirely different trash that is easier to pull big
if you dont plan on pushing very very high keys you can play anything
from what Ive been seeing ele > frost mage > ww/rogue is the dps comp thrown around a lot
and you have the options now that you are not limited by the 20% pride thing
That seems to be about what ive been seeing
i m a casual m+ er. usually doing 17+ and never being fan of pushing high levels but i m %100 sure if 1 dps spot will be a melee that definetly should be Rogue for survival and utility.
if only they didnt nerf sbs lego 
lots of control, and short kicks
we would be the best at everything

lets be honest Rogue is not in bad position if we compare early expansion period
i m sure scaling will be better
correct me if i m wrong
nah we're fine in all content
unless you wanne play in echo or limit maybe 
but even echo might bring a rogue next tier. who really knows
In sharkshoes we trust
still no ETA on smokebomb usable in raid ?
it was never said it was going to be
there is no way smoke is coming back. It just fucked up to many mechanics with LoS
my only concern is assasination last tier talents. A baseline CT and hidden blades change with Echoing etc. And poison bomb should be adressed or swap with kingsbane etc
Sub is the best rogue spec anyways so lets just hope its viable
way more fun to play than stupid pirate
and sin
does sub spec still has fall dmg immunity?
I wish
That was a legion artifact thing
darn legion
got me confused for a sec xD
what I want to know is why sub can sprint across water but sin cant
people cant handle stealth jumps and cried about it? 😄
if the Nerf Bat reveals, always Rogues be the first to hit lol
i m sure they will revert nerf of Necro lego like 1 month later
no way
If you enjoy my stuff, you can support me on https://www.patreon.com/WoWItsHard
I can't even count the number of patreons on one hand anymore!
never gets old

especially not with the way it works with blade flurry
time will tell
but guys i m really confused latest obedience thing
i hope it wont impact me so much
Wdym
i m necro atm (vent renown 40 tho ) i hope there won't be a huge difference when we go live on heroic week
rn its showing %5 dps difference. Ofc its too early to discuss
sbs usage feels so good i dk :d
especially open world
Especially in m+
if vent is the pick for raid you can always just switch once your prog is done
whats the safest early legendary craft?
Right now nothing
Doomblade
wait till mythic week for crafting legos i would say
Zoldyck on Legs.
But there is no real reason to (re-)craft legendaries currently.
Unless you don't have a single legendary
worth stacking soul ash and seeing what happens?
are not we going doomblade on cloak?
Yeh.
feels like we have to remake the leggos coz of the sockets?
Yes if you're Necrolord, Obedience looks like the pick for Venthyr.
Correct.
Zoldyck legs is a safe choice though.
Zoldyck always gonna be good
coming back after a 3 month hiatus and im remaking legendary items ive already made..bigsad
zoldyck legs and dooblade back
Like everybody is gonna have to
darn obedience looking tasty. vendetta + obe + lashing burst
especially bl openers
@limber lion do you have any ideas on Obedience lego if still goes BS/DS or EP/Vig?
BS/DS
like %60 haste?
There was talk of it maybe becoming possible later on in 9.1.
Not sure if that was only gonna be plausible because we may have been switching to dashing or not. Before they added the new leggo slots
Why 
doom+dashing or doom+walkers would be op
The sims have been done with 9.1 mythic gear, so it's not looking likely. :p
Because 25k+ envenoms that’s why.
Don’t kill my vibe ):
Lol
Yea but then we starving energy
Me like vigor
vigor good because it has x 10
The point would be to get to the point where we weren’t starving for energy..
with dashing energy regen would be fine tho
Yea I know but still, i don't wanna be a nightborne starved for energy I like having plenty
Especially on cleave

think we have %35/40 crit on bis gear 9.1?
.>
@limber lion going to venthyr too? 
Yes for the first week probably.
I'll have Necro ready so I can swap back whenever I want.
Damn
Soon we will have an entire rogue vampire army 
Has everyone already left the necro train…….?
check the pins and ull understand
prolly switch back to venthyr for mythic week
I am not sure when to swap from Necro to Venthyr, since I still kinda want to push keys coming week and the first week season 2
. But want to raid as venthyr kek
Yeah that vanthyr jump kinda pushes the necro cleave aside by the looks of it
its a tough call but for me raid prog is more pressing than m+
that being said getting ksm quickly helps
if none of your teammates have necro its quite a big difference , if you have another necro you will be fine switching early
It won’t be terrible, just won’t be optimal
Hmmm
!guides
IF we were to switch to venth, wouldn’t this week be the week to do it? So by time raid releases, the CD will be done?
Ya
this or next week
what covenant will be best for progress next tier?
Obedience looks strong on paper. Good thing, I like being a boss dps bot
even if you want to play outlaw on some fights?
Reminder that stuff can still change
And that blizzard loves to give stuff a "lovetap" on mythic release
Depends how much st suffers, reason necro was winner was for its strong target switch, but with this boost, seems less important now 🤔
I'm venthyr atm, and I'll stay venthyr. If it becomes apparent a few weeks into the raid that I am gimping myself, I'll swap to whatever. Little point agonizing over that choice now
Yes
only covenant that you gimp yourself with atm is Night Fae 
People should not take it THAT serious right now when change can still happen
And im necro with the first weekly for going to venthyr done, and just wait if i need to do the 2nd 
Hi guys 🙂 What covenant is best for 9.1
If i want to play m+ and raid
Necro right?
Necro or venthyr.
" YOUR COVENANT IS FINE. YOURE FINE. ITS GOING TO BE OKAY. PICK ONE" -Whispyr
Sin players usually nut over SBS
sin is assa right?
yes
You’re just sad because it sucks for sub 
hehe
You leave me and my bonerspike alone 
It feels horrible at sub that's true
How many multi targets fights do we have on Sanctum ?
@lunar meteor #wow-general and check pins, then decide
Bonerbois and sub do not match well
sbs 
If I could be necro for aesthetic and venthyr for player power I would :))
Honestly, I like flag more for sin too
The play was the vampire boys all along 
And flag does feel nice, awkward at times
Team edward xd
Just press it and enjoy the haste
yeah theres not much thought to it
Vampire boys #1, fuck boners, fuck smurfs, and fuck the furries

we had people getting ban warnings over that, just saying 🙂
Wow, koffing, oxi and cev in the same chat
cursed? more like blessed
really. My bad if I offended someone

Koffings gonna smog on you if you dont do that
i work for a gas company and im offended

Good lad
😃
Good morning! 🥱 
more then 7hours in 1 go
You were still awake four hours ago 
7 hours?! Let’s not be a glutton. Gimme 5 hours tho oxi
Then definitely not
Haven’t slept in 2 years
Is sin going to be meta for 9.1 PvP?
We’re pve Andy’s unfortunately
I’m a meager 1900 scrub
I got corporal in Vanilla, god tier pvper
Hey there. By switching a covenant, you will need to refarm all the anima and buy all the sanctum upgrades, right? There is nothing that like is transfered?
renown is if you did it before
You can cheese the anima
By buying anima equipment in your old covenant and reslling on new
serious question, apologies if it's been discussed or written about somewhere I haven't seen it yet. With Obediance, would it be possible to reduce flag CD so much that you could sort of sync every other use with Vendetta? 30 seconds cd reduction sounds like too much, but idk?
From the start of Shadowlands I was always Night Fae, and just around this time i have all the upgrades on Rank3. Preparing for patch 9.1 achievements with it.
And I kinda thought about switching to Venthyr, but if there is all the stuff I would need to grind again, then don't know if it is worth it
you would need to start everything over
it doesnt perfetly line up sadly no
aww
if you care for min maxxing, its worth the switch---- unless you care about the upgrades and stuff like that. but in reality any of the covenants will be fine to stick with, if you switch thats fine too
Your anima increasing achievement stays so at least you take that with you
Nice, thanks. Maybe I'll stay with Night Fae for some time, at least to get the flying and the mount and maybe after that is done I could think about switching.
There will be also more anima increase thingies the higher renown you will have in 9.1
just keep in mind you lose everything, transmogs/etc
Nice! I was kinda thinking about this, if it stays with you when you switch, or if some blizz magic would just lock that increase
i dont know how they'll handle mounts but if they follow their ways, im sure it'll go away if you switch
Night fae also has a advantage over the other covs
i wish it was better because the blink is so nice
I really liked Night Fae because of Sepsis, where it nicely flows in the rotation, at least for me. But the reworked venthyr ability really sounds good now.
And the garden of the night queen is a big plus for me personally. Just having a mat farm just like in Pandaria
yeah, flag is also really easy to use, just basically use it on CD
before it had to be timed to do a second click, right?
Not anymore, thankfully
im not sure, i didnt play venth before the change
First version of flagellation was sooooo bad
Imagine needing 2 GCDs for awful damage and mediocre amounts of haste
SBS is also a fun button if you want to try that out as well.
i'll always say this though
#DoorOfShadowSucks
where would you all recommend i start out as if im leveling my rogue guy right now
wdym
Level as outlaw
Never outlAw
Rogue levelling will feel pretty weak the first like 30 levels+ It especially lacks in aoe early on
Whatever you level as, don’t do it as assassination
lvling as rogue is just "everything but not assassination"
sin in lvling is 200%garbage
yup
sub feels nice and quick
Even at max sin sucks at leveling
Some genius at blizzard decided to not give us venomous wounds until stupid late
I leveled as assa from 1 to 120 too, getting venomous wounds felt so nice
So you sit there auto attacking for 80% of the fight
I actually enjoyed leveling a 2nd rogue with sin
even with it, its still dot based, and in open world contet stuff just dies to sstrike->evis or sinester->dispatch lel
How so? @sturdy merlin
Trueeee, plus sub has soothing darkness which makes down time nonexistent
Rip downtown
Idk i just love the spec but yeah it’s a bit slow until you get that energy regen, i wasn’t in a rush 😛
Autocorrect
I’m still in bed
Always felt Ass Rogue is more squishy in lvling, especially when you enter the areas of a new xpac
eh its mostly cus you kill stuff way slower then most other specs
Don’t level as sin unless ur an OTP, it’s low key troll
well i usually just tried it like for a few quests, then switch to sub and see how that plays, etc.
Weird to see sim put first rupture on the second target at 21 seconds in 2 target sim lol. Crimson tempest seems to be higher priority, I've thought it's the other way around
i meant covenant wise, starting at 50
Oh, probably necro
Fleshcraft increases your survivability and bonespike is super nice in open world content
Necro is the deal for the rest of expansion if you are sin
Not entirely true but ok
necro bois will come out on top when obedience gets nerfed 
if we cant have deathspike then vampires cant have obedience 😡
I just don't think that it's that far from the mean like DS was
Once obedience allows one of our specs to do 25k sustained damage in aoe come talk to me

m'blood
wine drinkers 
"wine"
Seems on par with WW monk and Havoc 

why would venthyr drink blood? its not like they are vampires 
Don’t get my wrong, I’m also unhappy about the deathspike nerf. But I’d rather see it get buffed than other stuff get nerfed personally
Really sucked that I change covenant every 2 months and got em all 40 blizzard is nuts
Yeye for sure
To me the most insane is that you have a penalty and you have to wait to go back like bitch wtf just let me swap
I really wonder if they are going integrate some of these covenant abilities once this xpac is over or just straight up ditch them
New talent row covenant abilities
But only 3 coz why not

cant have fun you know
Nah they’ll scrap it completely for a brand new meaningful choice next expac
Imagine flag and sbs being talents 
Ye actually you should be able to swap withoth doing pre quest
Seems like devs are actually mad

im here if you need me bud
2 cloacks for 9k, 235 😋

i'll try only craft doomblade on cloack if i don't drop any hands w socket before week 4
My server's economy is bad. 
torghast = sleepy sleepy
anyone know how assi is looking in m+ in 9.1 compared to outlaw
or is outlaw still looking to be > assi in general
I'ma stick to what I have too for a bit, just to feel it out.
But I wanted to have it at the ready before the market for vessels goes down the tube.
I bought 2 pieces too, one for each, the problem I have is farming ashes, too boring
damn rings on hyjal over 125k 😦
I love doing Torghast, though I hate Soulforges (damn you 0.5 second casters) and Mort'regar (never get the power to absorb the puddles and I always get the floor where you go platform hopping and it drops you into aggro range of half the mobs everytime)
100k in italy 😦
Guys, I have Necro and Venthyr at 40. Any reason to switch now ? Necro atm.
Wait and see

I saw the pins.
so opinions of if its safe for me to roll w/ venth for pure ST build? should i start the switch today before NA reset?
im already doing the quest to swap back to necro on wednesday
can i hold the quest forever?
yes
Did I make a mistake switching to necro from vents? I mainly play sin/outlaw.
unless it interacts with season changing and we don't know about it
Must admit tho I do like SBS play style.
Venthyr isn't the best on Outlaw.
But it is really good for sin.
Necrolord is honestly the better overall choice if you enjoy playing both.
In a way kyrian is the outlaw go 
Most likely not.
Cool. Already have 40 renown in venth so not too bad if need to switch. Basically do what Ceverion does. WWCD.
Obedience is looking like the go-to choice for all Venthyr rogue specs in single target.
@limber lion will you make defensive spreadsheet again for new raid ? or is it already finished?
Cev, have you decided yet or are you keeping your powder dry on the cov choice?
how many fights in sod on which the difference between necro and sin becomes smaller?
We will be updating the spreadsheet we made earlier with the new raid
!def
Rogue Defensives usability: http://tiny.cc/q602uz
cool ty
I'm going Venthyr for the first few weeks. I'll keep Necrolord ready so I can swap whenever.
much appreciated sir
Most likely will do The Tarragrue and The Eye as Venthyr and then maybe swap, but not 100% sure yet.
Go venth till you need necro aye
those are first 2 bosses though, they shouldnt be that tight even at the start
Definitely not.
Do we need to be renown 40 come patch day?
do remnants of nerzul have any adds except the orb which needs to be dps'ed down and thrown off?
All campaign/souls/anima done?
Yeah.
nope
Going save my daily emissary until Wednesday.
it's also darkmoon faire week coming weekend if you want to farm rep
I gotta say
It's possible I'll stay Venthyr until like Sylvanas
We'll just have to wait and see what happens with tuning and whatnot.
even though half of the fights have an extra target for sbs, it isnt really helping with boss dmg itself which is the most important this raid, except maybe for KT, unless some adds are bugged again like on Sire
Is Sylvanas the only real add fight in the raid?
At least more add-heavy than the others
I see venthyr being extremely good for phylactery phase for KT
thats also true
Roughly speaking only garrosh torture probably favors necro (and maybe the nine)
Garrosh being tortured favors everyone
Hey I like Garry
I said everyone 
@balmy condor sorry for taggin u , but can u do a dungeonslice with theotar obdience but with wasteland instead? im simming way higher on live .
with theotar
just.. do it yourself?
Hey guys, if i dont plan to play raid in 9.1, only M+, does it worth to stay in Necro? I know its hard to say anything before the patch is out, im just would like to know your opinion, thank u very much 🙂
Yoy should stay Necro if you only want to do M+, yes.
Thanks for the fast answer mate, i only planning some kind of HC raiding for the daggers, but i think its doable with Necro
Ye 100%
Yep
not sure how to mess with raidbots ptr , but sure
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
Well yeah, ofc you'd want those daggers, no shame in doing HC to get them so you can pump in M+

I'm farming Normal til I get them
and I'll probably run LFR too since it's all different color options
so in new raid is there a lot of ST fights?
as far as im aware, only 2
Supposedly more ST focused than CN I heard
ST/ ST focused fights yes Tarragrue, Nerzhul, Painsmith, Fatescriber, KT phylactery phase, soulrender(just manage adds), Guardian
The eye is sorta ST focused but also has cleave
wow, quite a few then
Or was it less burst-required fights? I don't recall
only true cleave fight probably will be The Nine and Sylvanas
i assumed he asked pure ST
might farm renown to 40 for necro, then back to venth
like no adds at all
Guardian(if it's a dps wall like sludge) and KT(phylactery) probably require the most burst and maybe painsmith if you want that hell to be over 
I like the pain 

Oxi you going sub bud?>?
Oxi is a sin OTP though? 
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear
through Top Gear.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
no more crit haste? so i should craft doomblade on cloak with haste & vers?
How much Haste is too much?

That’s an old command
Sim urself first and foremost 
No such thing, just check top gear for upgrades 
you probably dont want more than 30% baseline, because we have DR now 🙂
I hope not
my best parses this tier are mostly outlaw

Going to play a bit of all 3 probably again
99 gaming 
Where is sub? 
I left it in normal 
I think I've sub in my best 
I’ve aggressively mediocre damage and can’t parse rn because I’m stuck on tank duty for heroic reclear before 9.1 
any normal parsers 
100 gamer 
no 
lets see the gabagoo
show us them meaty mythic parses
Jhonwei mythic parsing check though 
Are we sharing parses again
normal parses 
I was simply proving that I was not a one trick pony
and it turned into parse day

:3
Ceverion OTP parse check 
Which difficulty
I do love seeing the amount after 12s of Flag

Hit me with the ol 9.0 number one global
yes
my mythic parses this tier weren't amazing, never got a good log on slg,council or sludge 
show me the numbers that made me fanboy for you @limber lion
I would be quite a bit higher if we didn't private log to be fair.
private logs are hell
still a stud in our hearts 

Improved my parses quite a bit after joining my new guild.
Improved 
although all my rank 1s got stolen by push and others in days
Heroic gamers
lets gooo

😍
What’s your best on mythic hungering privately? I’d you even know
99, 6.8k dps
but i did get sks

Pretty awful kill timers.
HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD
6.8k still pretty Huge
OOF
yea that red moon when dfv decided to crit every time
Welp
See I told you I suck
Mines like 5.5, died every time though 
On Sludge?
Ah right
oh i would still be rank 3 on slg
man sub really does suck there
i would be the only tornado gamer apart from grimzyo at least
do you offer pve coaching? @limber lion 
I do, for a price.
:'''')
Name it and I'll double it
You're just worth it 
I'll finally get you that air conditioning
Does oxi get a #1 Fan discount?
so you can sleep
Or does he just buy the number one fan for ac?
I'm rocking a table top fan when I'm gaming but that's about it
We don't really have ac's in Finland, it's not really a thing
we'll make you a trendsetter

Anyone have a rogue specific notes guide boss for boss for SoD? Figured I would ask that before asking thing like “can you cloak intermission on tarraque lol
I didn’t get to test the raid so couldn’t even try to pretend like I know

Don't think that exists yet, but we are updating the Book of Shadows with the new tier the following weeks.

Sweet! Is book of shadows a website? Doc? I have not heard of it
Never mind there is it haha
Thanks
Do we know where we'll be able to get Lashing Scars from in 9.1? Doesn't look like it drops from tazzavesh or SoD
^legendary
and our boy meant the conduit
calling maybe?
oh right im stupid 🙂
I'm trying to figure out if I should just swap venthyr today and buy the upgrade from venari (i have all other conduits 226) or if it doesn't matter
conduit drops from end boss and world boss right now
I'd rather not be 5 renown venthyr tomorrow for mythic raid though
do an epic calling and you also will get a 200
will I be able to buy venari conduit upgrades next week?
no
no
Those get removed tomorrow (or Wednesday if you're in EU)
so is venthyr go to covenant for 9.1 raid overall?
:c
9.1 sockets can be bought, drop from rares, and drop in Torghast
someone said 226 will be the calling reward in 9.1 at some point, not sure about the credibility of his source
or if he made it up
tho blizz adding a source to get a higher version in any way seems reasonable. wouldnt be surprising if its yet again the final boss
Probably 223 from WQs at the end of the renown grind, 226/229 from callings
So I’m kinda effed unless I swap today then huh
is torghast getting any changes?
As someone who stealths the entire thing and kills the bosses, it's massive changes for me
cant stealth through it anymore and be done in 15mins per week
+++++
ye
Yeah, 10-15 minute Torghast wings was great..
might be worth going in a group now 😄
any idea what assassinations aoe is looking like compared to other classes in 9.1?
9.1 isnt out yet so not much to say
Hey, i haven't played in a while anything i need to do/know about 9.1 that you guys consider of importance
yoo is there a better solution for conduits besides swapping them every time when i play outlaw in m+ and sin in raids, can i use a different soulbind for one of them that isnt that big of a dps loss? im necro btw
been away over the weekend, are we saying venth now or is necro still a solid pick? (i much prefer necro gameplay)
necro still super fine, venth if you want to play sub too
if sub is more in line with sin/outlaw now i'd rather play sin+sub
i'll see how sub performs over the first few weeks then make the decision, i'd rather stay necro 🙂 thanks
If you like Necro then stay i dont see any reason to swap again for some better parses
Emeni is a good choice for m+ as OL and just stick to heirmir for raids
aight, thank you (:
play style is different though so read up before starting a key
Is it still a weekly cap on renown if ur behind 1 week of renown quests? For example if u swap covenant this week.
You can theoretically catch up to 40 in one week
you can literally spam HC plaguefall 24/7 on a premade group and gain renown that way to the cap
not recommending it though
I was wondering for 9.1 release as in this patch you got 3 renown/week wich would mean that if u swap now, you would be in week 2 of 9.1 and theoretically have 6 renown levels to be up to date. Can you do those 6 levels in one week?
Is doomblade still gonna be the recommended leggo for sin rogue?
Yes
@nimble marlin if it's like 9.0 yes
For raiding and as a non-Venthyr, yes
Thank you
Prolly gonna be, no reason to change that system i guess
For the worse 🙂
/wa
Definitely not.

i mean, you can catchup now all the way to cap as well if you want, it's really no difference
@limber lion tyty
So doomblade will always outperform zoldyck even with sylvanas daggers?
Why would the daggers change anything about Zoldyck?
he means that sylvanas dagger has this effect
more target is hurt more damage
or sth
Oh idk I thought the sylv dagger effect was another bleed
Fair enough
i mean i wouldnt really call it an execute. If the target has low health you have higher chances of applying the debuff, but afaik since it caps at 4 stacks anyway, you will have them well before execute?
Yeah im max in both necro and venthyr, but i just swapped to necro again for 9.1, whilst now with legendary update it could be worth with swapping for mythic prog
But as you guys descirbe, sims are shaky
Doing more damage when the boss has lower health = execute
You get the last stack at 25%
oh so they changed it again, mb
They didn't.
how does it work then, every 25% u get a stack?
when i tested it i would get stacks regardless of hp but maybe it's because it was dummy i guess
Maybe you just pumped too hard on the pillar
XD
got u
But it's really wonky
They just removed the proc altogether recently
So now we're just waiting to see what they come up with.
Or if they can get it to work or not.
@nimble marlin i was necro in 9.0, and tbh i thought it better because loosing 100-150 dps on pure ST wasnt that big of a deal. assuming obedience sims are accurate however, now venth is ahead by over 400 dps, i doubt we won't play it if it's like that
Anyone has that weakaura that showed the duration of your bleeds on green and then in red when they were in the refresh window?
400 dps on max ilvl?
Maybe they just remove it
On the Sylvanas dagger?
Yes.
yeah it's turned off on PTR
Ah damn, I didn't know that
kinda bad tho that they rework stuff like this 2 days before release
They got 1 week plus till raid opens to fix it
guess they do, i just feel like it's gonna be another disappointment when they destroy it on weeks 1 or 2 of raiding
@nimble marlin according to sims at max ilvl yes, they are pinned to the channel
again assuming leggo doenst get nerfed and sims are correct in the first place
like personally i think best thing is to have both at 40 for patch release
then make a more educated decision on week 2-3 or whenever we know whatsup
Yeah, i do have max lvl on both. Just "annoying" that if u wanna swap covenant it takes 2 weeks
Is there a comparaison about racial ? Sim Dps ?

At what number of targets do we refresh CT during a Shiv window? I know we let it drop off in ST but does this change at 2+ or 3+ targets?
And at what number of targets do we not bother Shiv'ing at all?
Soo why are all top rogues goes on Necro instead of Venthyr ?
i think it's because necro is better in non ST situations, and very very close to venthyr in ST
people that wanna play sin/outlaw go necro
also with obiedence being so far ahead, its likely to see tuning
Soo i dont know realy which cov i should take
what are you now?
Nerf obedience 
Atm Nothing
what do you do? raid/m+/pvp?
All of this
random bg's or rated arena?
Sub Necro pvp is looking strong
rnd bg`s
assuming heroic raid?
yeah maybe myth if i get a place
That's actually incorrect.
Ah sorry, I read it wrong.
At 2+ targets we would apply CT regardless of Shiv windows.
ok so necro assa in raid , outlaw in m+ assa in pvp , right?
It's only for one target where it matters.
yeah, you can play ass in m+ too
def more involved and takes a bit more effort but its def great too
I like sub too but sub is better with venth?
i believe so
Gotta ask here quickly too: if you switch covenant mythic week, are you permanently behind?
Or can you catch up the 2 renown you'd get from souls+anima quests
catchup should cover you los, just rng drops :/
With the buff to sub aoe. Is it viable now for M+. Currently, necro sin for m+.
Yes, you can catchup.
and they'll be rare since your so close to being current
Yes, it's beating Sin by quite a bit.
sin is still good tho
you has links? havnt seen them compared for dslice
Pins literally have DSlice sims.
@limber lion staying necro my man?
No, going Venthyr for now.
comparing sub | ass dslice? maybe im blind lol
My boy
There's 2 spec channels
And they both have pins
And they both have their respective specs'
sims in the pins
yeah, as images, just asking if the reports are out there is all lol
results != report
What does report mean to you?
the html breakdown maybe better way to put it
There's literally
a link
in the pins
to the sims
where you can open up the sims
for yourself
and go take a look at the html
Literally says "link to sims" above the picture that you just took
and yes, whispyr posted the raidbots reports in the pins, so you just need to follow those
yep, mistook it for a link to the image, found what i was looking for
Vampire daddy stonks
^
So still necro xD or what im confused now :D:D:D:D
Necro and Venthyr are both fine.
You can play any CoV and be fine
I’m gonna go ahead and say necro unless you like it when Denathrius chokes you
In which case Venth
Ez
Necro and venth are the prime choices
is it too late to change the covenant? Will it be easier when the patch comes?
cev are you staying necro?
Venth seems a bit more stronger In mythic+ then it was in 9.0.5 but that’s if obedience is actually good with triple potency
You can do when ever tbh
No
Venth boy cev ?
@limber lion you should make a counter for how often you get that question
Yes

just make a command like !cevcov or sth 
Thank you, I should check if there is an easier way to catch up the renown
You can catch up in like a day or two
@limber lion is there a reason you’re changing back? Im just hoping on sub being good if not I was thinking about going necro
Sub stonks too high.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t get gutted
I'll have the Necro quest ready so I can swap whenever
That easy? I remember it took almost 2weeks when I was switching from kyrian to nf
Venthyr swap back number 3 
Me too lmfao
Is there any tips that I should follow? Like first do this before that kind of thing
Mine will be ready the 6th, with necro lvl 40 and Venth lvl 40 and NF lvl 40 only cov I haven’t been is kyrian
Nah just start with the raid difficulty. Do campaign and m+
Just leave the campaign and weeklies last.
Ah ok ty
If we do 1st part to rejoin cov. Can we delay the 2nd part whenever? Like we could do the 2nd part in 1 month.
Is that what ur implying?
@limber lion when's our first date in sinfall? 
yes
Yes
I'm waiting.

Thx
That's my plan right now, getting 2nd bar to 100% and sitting on it and seeing where the chips fall
Vamp Chads rise up!
man that looks so cool
Diamond hands on the stinky bois
Im staying necro boy

Vamp chads and Zombie stacies unite
ye it looks cool but i feel like my rl is gonna yell at me if i go ventyr
Why would he?
Team edwards slaps! or well, whips
cause the moment an add spawns i could've been doing more dmg with necro
or am i in tunnelvision
and it dosnt really matter?
I'd just slap Ruptures and Garrotes on adds
I'm the melee lead in our guild and someone demanded to be able to play Surv Hunter. 
so your RL would be mad that you did more boss damage at the risk of doing a less on an add? 
let them play survival, someone needs to keep the bench warm :/ lol
Rogues won'
We also have an UH DK who is going to be mad that they're not so great anymore
DKs will be fine
my rl has a survival alt and he's blasting
Won't* be the ones doing massive add damage regardless and the increase comes from setting up dots and getting to smack, at which point most adds will be dead. Survival hunters are not a bad class per se compared to their ranged counterparts. There's a lot of stigma around melee classes considering DK's AMZ nerf et cetera, but both UH and Frost have clear niches that they do well in, namely execute and burst windows.
I rolled UH DK for a bit of prog on M Sire, but now im back to my comfort zone of rogue 
and i was a unholy dk this tier
Isnt there a timer that u have to complete the quest Till end of the id?
Combine that with a WW Monk that doesn't like researching fights and two Fury Warriors fighting over Kel'thuzad's sword, it's going to be a fun tier
not that I know of
if you don't turn in the first one before reset you end up waiting another reset to do the 2nd
but thats about it
Your Guilds give a place for Rogues?
If i remember correctly is saw a counter
this is my third time switching back to venthyr and I haven't seen a timer at all 
Ah so i can Do the second 100% whenever i want?
Is venthyr looking like the go to ?
afaik yeah
Yes.
I'm the only raiding Rogue in mine.
Had an Outlaw last expac but he got the Carapace dagger and decided to go Sin
worst case scenario if you get the first one out of the way
Depends what you want to do.
if you play Sub/Sin yes
if there is a timer, you can just do halls normal twice and 1 WQ or grab 1 treasure and be done with it
shouldn't take more than 30 minutes tops
If you play outlaw/sin necro is good for that
So the pins are still correct and I asked a stupid question
There is no timer whatsoever
aah , its hard to find a raidplace as an rogue atm
Okay cause now i am necro and looks like venthyr it is xD
Venthyr or Necro are equally good. Pick whichever you want.
ironically the actual quest to switch back is the only part they didn't make miserable 
Gotta bring a lot to the table.
You'd be surprised how many players don't know the sheer amount of things Engineering allows you to do.
gotta bring a lot
Just 2 immunes
No raid benefit
This was before every raid had a repair NPC. 
And "immune"
Is the shiv removing enrage going to work on raid bosses in 9.1 like it did on the say council fight in CN?
CoS is the best immune
theres no adds that enrage in the next raid
Bosses
no
If I remember it correctly it did work on nicklaus if you were lucky
I've saved a pull in Rastakhan by being the only brez alive and brezzing our tank
theres nothing to shiv remove in next raid at all

My guild tryna eliminate me and my Bröther
ive done that in m+ not in raid tho

or*
I've also had the brez backfire and kill me 
Pitting us against each other in a duel of mechanics and dps next tier to see who gets rogue spot
yeah
Thanks
ripped a 21 halls with that this season
uff thats hard 😄 who won?
Nobody yet, I was keeping up well at 215 to 226 with sockets
Next tier aotc week 1 3 day 3 hours a day should be a good estimate of who wins
I’d like to see sin so good it’s not bad to bring two
I don’t want to fight for a spot with him
I agree
tough luck
Numbing poison cumulates with curse of weakness, right ?
but we aren’t bleeding edge
For 40% slowed swing timer?
ah if ur aotc only yea
We missed ce this tier, and now they want to metafy our team
ohh
Nah 7/10 mythic
ok
I went from fire mage back to my rogue whom I’ve played since wrath
dont worry man
Cause rogue bis
limit max will say that rogues are good
after rwf
and you will get put on the roster
every GM soys over limit max
no
Imma be on the roster for CE prog
cause thats how max works
Good
he needs to say that sin rogue and sub rogue are too good
and that outlaw needs a buff

stats dont matter that much as ilvl
I am honestly kinda geared wel I think…
