#

just to clarify, obedience tooltip is wrong ?

lone wren
#

So is venth now 100% the way to go or are we still waiting on more data?

modern heart
#

plucky epoch

#

yo how do i sim for diff covenant?

inner temple
#

heres to hoping obedience gets nerfed so i can feel better about myself

hollow river
#

nvm top gear works my bad

#

and lashing drops from sire.

#

is there a way to override the ilvl of gear in my bags using top gear?

balmy condor
#

You can add “,ilevel=x”

#

To the end of an item string

#

@hollow river guess I necro’d a bit, have a ping :P

hybrid cosmos
#

what is meant by "Change: Obedience vers persists now"? like it doesnt fall off?

hollow river
#

in advanced?

hasty crater
#

@balmy condor U think there is any chance that they will nerf obedience legendary at mythic raid release ? I already see myself going venthyr for no reason lmao

gloomy knoll
#

hopefully not

#

be happy

I mean im not asking for them, i just see that obedience is 500 dps above the rest which is not something they want i imagine

😺 flag

hollow river
#

or it stacks disappeared after 12 seconds idr

nova flax
#

personally i like venthyr because of the Party Herald title 🙂

hollow river
gloomy knoll
#

considering other specs are still doing good damage and we're not insanely broken

viscid spear
gloomy knoll
#

probably fine

#

most specs have legendaries that are far better

#

than their other options

nova flax
gloomy knoll
#

rogue was the outlier

#

having a bunch of shitty leggos lol

nova flax
echo geyser
nova flax
#

so i cant use my fu nguy title since i swapped Venthyr

nova flax
#

How hard is the new dungeon for rogue anyway?

gloomy knoll

it works like this in the menu

Or else it gets messy

i'm just running some quick sims to see what i should upgrade

#

kk

echo geyser

bruh

#

u can do droptimizer?

humble ginkgo
#

yea true

hollow river
#

i can only run one dungeon at a time?

#

i'm trying to see different set ups

echo geyser
#

nope all

hollow river
#

with venthyr and necro

hollow river
humble ginkgo
#

if you know what item

echo geyser
#

ah venthyr and necro

humble ginkgo
#

is what lvl and whatever you want to compare it with

#

you could do gear compare

simple wadi
#

Need premium to do all dungeons

humble ginkgo
#

and add the item like that

simple wadi
#

At once

hollow river
#

^^^^

humble ginkgo
#

man make raidbots free

viscid spear
#

I smell Communism

hollow river
#

i'm trying to see what'll do better for me in heroic week

simple wadi
#

I mean that’s a lot of work - I don’t mind paying

hollow river
#

with venthyr compared to necro

balmy condor
#

Raidbots servers don’t pay themselves

echo geyser
#

how many combinations do u get with baseline?

balmy condor
#

And he has to make UI’s and stuff

hollow river
#

lol

#

like 300k

#

iterations

humble ginkgo
gusty mirage
#

I imagine the bandwidth to keep raidbots functioning is insane

humble ginkgo
#

I bought premium for a while

#

like 3-4 months

balmy condor
humble ginkgo
#

its like life changing

balmy condor
#

I had someone say that my sims are only faster because my computer was better

humble ginkgo
#

being able to run sims constantly

balmy condor
#

And I’m like

#

But

#

It’s servers

humble ginkgo
#

you shoulda said yea thats true

#

buy a new pc and you will be able to sim more

median aurora
#

raidbots is lit, dont blame a fella for making a fantastic tool and website to enable players ease of use for the way blizzard has been designing gear / the randomization in the last few xpacs

u dont got enough ram bro 💯

thx for the help @balmy condor

Bro when I sim raidbots on my android

@balmy condor sorry if this is the wrong channel - any idea why flag and sod aren't sync'd for sub? not worth worrying about?

balmy condor
humble ginkgo
#

wtf lol

hollow river
#

send yourself the data to sim?

balmy condor
simple wadi
#

they are but they are seperated by a gcd

#

initial flag is 1 s before sod

balmy condor
#

I’ve gotten this question so often

simple wadi
#

word

#

sorry

balmy condor
#

I’m probably gonna have to rewrite the apl

#

Just to get rid of the Jank

civic trellis
#

Anyone wanna troubleshoot a 2 min 2t rotation of mine? i am missing like 300 dps but idk from what 😄

simple wadi
#

its probably within the margin of error i'd imagine

balmy condor
#

Oh it super is

simple wadi
#

i just didnt know if there was some secret sauce that was over my head

balmy condor
#

The rewrite would be purely for people to see things they want to see

#

Shuffle some gcd’s around

dim ledge
#

With the current state of sub sims

#

would sin still be better on some boss fights?

balmy condor
simple wadi
#

ye

balmy condor
#

Thanks boo

forest vigil
#

wait did kyrian just get nerfed away

#

cause that'd be cool

fleet whale
#

why do you want kyrian to get nerfed

balmy condor
#

Don’t believe it did

forest vigil
#

i dont want to play it ;^;

fleet whale
#

then don't lol

forest vigil
#

if you have to you have to

fleet whale
#

why do you have to play kyrina

#

does your M+ team need one

forest vigil
#

was looking at the ptr tuning is all and was wondering if that made a difference

gusty mirage
#

oh

#

newfound resolve got reduced to 10%

echo geyser
#

what is that

#

kleia?

#

pelagos?

gusty mirage
#

Pelagos

kind dock
#

So how does prove your worth work? I just did my necro one. If I turn it in say tomorrow after patch, I gotta wait for heroic week to get the 2nd part ?

civic trellis
#

nerf to necro aswell

gusty mirage
#

you get a 2nd one on reset

#

that completes the switch

fleet whale
#

they buffed Draven... sadly it's not nearly enough to make him worth it for anything

fleet moat
#

Do you hold flag for Vendetta or use off CD?

kind dock
gusty mirage
fleet moat
#

got it thanks

kind dock
#

yeah

gusty mirage
#

then yeah turn it in, and tomorrow (assuming you're NA) you'll get a 2nd one

#

once you turn that in you'll be whatever you're switching to

Awesome thanks Oxi

gusty mirage

#

Am I the only one scared of switching covenant then blizz droping the nerf hammer on it and being stuck waiting for 2 weeks? peperogue

balmy condor
#

I had to make a pin telling everyone to calm down because it got so bad

ebon patio
#

lol

#

We should make a channel to place our bets on whatever shit show happens in the next few weeks

gusty mirage
#

Or we could just stop speculating because a lurker may read it as a real possibility and not the typical chicken little sky is falling thing

faint harness
#

They literally dont do any tuning at all, most of the time

#

Specs that people could see had broken covenant stuff didnt get nerfed until months later

hasty crater
#

Im just waiting for patch day, and if there are no nerfs I go venthyr and pray to god they dont nerf in mythic week

balmy condor
#

I’d like to make a bet on how fast I can shift the topic away from silly speculation and doomsaying

#

Probably would be insider trading though

gusty mirage
#

It's not a discussion. A discussion involves more than just a circle jerk of "it's too strong it's def going to get nerfed".

hasty crater
#

As long as Fire mage dies I am a happy man tbh lmao

ebon patio
faint harness
#

As long as next op spec dies i am a happy man

hasty crater
#

Fire mage has been broken for to long though

balmy condor
#

Where did I put my bat….

#

For further doomsaying please visit #off-topic it’s a nice place

fleet whale
#

so on ptr if you use the MA leggo with the MA talent, your crits in the double MA window deal 50% increased damage
just kidding

#

the funny thing is i don't even think that would really make MA that much better (the leggo)

ebon patio
#

Changing topics, is it worth to do a full torghast run today before reset or the suffering isn't worth the SA?

bitter canyon
#

hey guys, quick question, I heard there is a way to skip guessing game on the mistweaver fight

fleet anchor
bitter canyon
#

heard that you need to push her past the guessing game threshholds (70%, 40%), while shes doing the dodgeball, itll skip

balmy condor
gusty mirage
hasty crater
#

SA will be useful @ebon patio u can give it to alts etc. And as a rogue torghast takes like 5/10 min if ur geared

gusty mirage
#

Get some rng with the chain power and stealth to the boss for an easy W

balmy condor
#

Getting the cast sequence sparkly clean so people don’t nitpick why the one gcd isn’t the other one @fleet anchor

fleet anchor
#

Will be honest, there actually isn't that much jank in the APL. There are things that maybe look like jank, but probably aren't. 😛

balmy condor
#

My obedience stuff is kinda jank

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

If you just look at the casts alone

#

Flag into sod for sure looks weird

hasty crater
#

@balmy condor just out of curiosity what covenant and sprc are u planning to play ?

balmy condor
#

Might be able to solve it by rearranging the lines

inner temple
balmy condor
#

That would be the best

fleet anchor
#

Unless something is horrifically wrong, things that "look" wrong in the cast sequence is usually just SimC playing better at adjusting for random occurrences than the simple mental models people make to play themselves.

gusty mirage
hasty crater
#

Kk ty

fleet anchor
#

e.g. usually the APL is "wrong" because it's better than a player 😛

balmy condor
#

Yeah kinda

#

I’ll still look into it though

#

Cause it’s like the 15th time someone brought it up

fleet anchor
#

It's ok to look into random things, just saying they usually aren't anything

balmy condor
#

I agree

#

Oh @fleet anchor out of curiosity, does sod affect flag with bugs turned on

#

Cause that’s apparently still a thing

#

That might have an actual effect on the order

#

Idk how to check bug implementation

fleet anchor
#

Will check shortly

#

Also which part are you talking about?

quick chasm
#

!weakauras

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
fleet anchor
#

Flag damage component seems to still be in the SoD whitelist so this should be in sims

brazen gust
#

Yo guys i cant decided if i should play Outlaw or Assassination

#

is Assassination any good in mythic plus and raiding

hasty crater
#

Sin bis with sub for raiding

echo mantle
hasty crater
#

Outlaw isnt that bad in SL tbh. If u havnt played it since BFA i would recommend giving it a shot

#

No longer having to perma roll for good buffs makes it a lot better

misty holly
#

What is the uptime on Kevin's oozling? That looks like a big buff.

#

2% -> 6%

gusty mirage
#

Uh oh

#

Someone said Kevin, don’t tell Koji

hasty crater
#

Isnt Kevin in Marileths tree ?

gusty mirage
#

Yeah

hasty crater
#

Isnt that tree kinda... meh to begin with ?

mystic osprey
#

Mari looking sexy

misty holly
#

Well it has 2 big buffs now, consume corpse always getting humanoid, and now oozling too.

hasty crater
#

Might make her a lot better, dont think it changes much overall tho, might be best for necro in ST

#

But we wont know until sims

viscid spear
#

I'm not getting as many Renown from heroics as I was hoping

gusty mirage
viscid spear
#

But I was gonna grind through the night

shy dust
#

What’s your renown

viscid spear
#

14 atm

shy dust
#

You should be fine still spamming heroics

#

Just continue grinding

hasty crater
#

Arent they increasing renown droprate up til 40 with the patch ?

#

So grinding it right now feels... unnecesary ?

shy dust
#

They’re increasing renown catch-up even more so

#

In 9.1

hasty crater
#

Yeah thats what i thought

shy dust
#

Idk if it’s unnecessary

hasty crater
#

I mean not optimal

#

Doing it a day before it gets easier to do

strange python
hasty crater
#

When next reset there isnt anything to do anyway since everything releases second week of patch

fleet anchor
sleek sundial
#

BOIS DO WE GO NECRO OR VENTH, IM SO CONFUSED

fleet anchor
#

You can extend the buff indefinitely with SBS meaning you can farm duration on shitter mobs

#

I got like a 6 minute buff the other day on PTR 🤣

#

But "normally" the uptime is like 35-45% or something, depending on fight length

random fog
#

9.1 what covenant is everyone planning on going? new to rogue.

sleek sundial
misty holly
#

SBS is really fun to use.

#

Unless necro becomes so bad it isn't even viable I can't see myself ever switching.

fleet anchor
#

Blizzard was linked the sims today that shows Obedience extremely above everything else. It depends on how much you feel they will do anything about it as to if you are inclined to swap immediately.

hasty crater
#

Aoe yes. ST its meh to use imo

misty holly
#

Even in ST I really like having it. It's free on demand combo points.

hasty crater
simple wadi
fleet anchor
#

If I swap it won't really be until late in Heroic week

#

Whipsyr memes but Kevin at 6% plus default Humanoid benefit on Solvent probably brings Marileth pretty decent

balmy condor
#

But the buffs

#

Are kinda crazy

simple wadi
#

Interesting - my first tier so didn't know. Still kinda wierd - you'd think their first pass at everything would be based on their own models. Maybe it still is and this is just to make sure they aren't off.

fleet whale
#

i mean Marileth being a meme is justified though

#

prior to 9.1, other than potency conduits, I don't believe he had a real dps trait

lone wren
#

you cant replicate real world data, you can get close with simulations but only so much a small team can do vs an entire player base testing and each group focusing on a specific class/spec gathering data

fleet whale
#

the solvent thing needed corpses

lone wren
#

thats why community numbers are valuable to devs

simple wadi
#

I mean you are building the system - I hope its based on an internal model.

balmy condor
#

You’d think blizzard has their own model

#

But it doesn’t seem like that

lone wren
#

they do

simple wadi
#

That's really kinda bad

fleet whale
#

we don't know how blizz really does things

fleet anchor
#

I'm sure they have spreadsheets and stuff

shy dust
#

Necro simps

fleet anchor
#

And they have in-game automation tools

lone wren
#

but the community will gather a lot of data in a short amount of time, so that data is useful on top of their internal model

fleet anchor
#

But replicating something like SimC itself is actually pretty hard

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

Considering it takes like 40 people to keep up and running 😛

shy dust
#

Was piling onto Koji being a traitor

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Yes

#

Koji is a traitorous stinky boy

simple wadi
#

In the long run, using the community to test your systems is a great way to constanstly miss the mark on what you want to do and not really understand what you are missing

viscid spear
#

Priest gave me PI in that ToP peepohappy

fleet anchor
#

I mean I won't swap Venthyr unless I absolutely need to. Don't really feel like doing another Covenant from scratch tbh

#

Shit system

shy dust
#

Grinding 30 heroic dungeons

#

Then 7 hours of campaign is enjoyable Koji

fleet anchor
#

I'm usually diplomatic about Blizzard stuff honestly.. but I won't be diplomatic about the Covenant system

#

It's ass

#

Was never going to be balanced and never will be balanced

strange python
#

lmao all of my mage friends are swapping to kyrian arcane

lone wren
#

no system is worse than legion legendary at launch

errant plover
#

Imagine if we all just had the same few trees/abilities available to us, and covenants we're purely cosmetic. The dream.

lone wren
#

after you got fucked over with that, these systems are child play

errant plover
#

It's like blizzard wants balance to be hard.

fleet anchor
#

Legiondaries at launch have an edge

lone wren
#

i mean i do understand the hysteria for players in guilds competing for world first

balmy condor
#

I think legion legendary at launch was better because at least it’s just grinding and m+ was new and exciting

#

But covenants are just really annoying

strange python
#

would be infinitely more okay with it if swapping covs didn't take 2 resets

lone wren
#

but for most of us, why bother? we will wait 2-3 weeks in see how things go, then swap covenants should we need to

strange python
#

@balmy condor I see the pins of you saying sylv daggers will be BiS but then most recent pin says no sylv daggers ?

strange python
#

one of the 9.1 features should have been freedom to swap covs whenever you want imo especially since even in terms of the story its all about them working together right now, just seems stupid to me

balmy condor
#

The effect itself is bugged to hell

strange python
#

oh wow

#

okay

balmy condor
#

So it doesn’t actually sim

strange python
#

so

fleet whale
#

i just hope in the expac following SL

strange python
#

do you think it will still be BiS?

#

or cant tell

fleet anchor
#

Well, somewhat ironically

fleet whale
#

that blizz strays away from convuluted borrowed power systems

fleet anchor
#

The performance difference between Legiondaries was pretty small compared to some of the performance difference we are seeing now

lone wren
#

is it really punishment if you do 1.2% or 2% less or more dps though?

fleet anchor
#

In 9.1 we're looking at much larger than that

viscid spear
fleet whale
#

night fae is pretty bad for rogues now

fleet anchor
#

NF is like 7-10% behind in 9.1

#

That's pretty terrible

#

That's way worse than Legion

lone wren
#

the alternative is how FFXIV does it, that game so tightly controlled by devs, everything is predictable

fleet whale
#

in fact are dks and rogues the only classes in the game that don't roll NF in any of their specs?

lone wren
#

it's boring as fuck end game.

fleet whale
#

there were more broken leggos than shoulders in Legion
though chain poison bomb openers were hilarious

strange python
#

I still don't really think that last minute niya burrs nerf was necessary lol

fleet whale
#

literally did as much dps in those first 10 seconds as every other dps combined lol

strange python
#

think blizz just really wanted people to switch off of night fae since it was the most popular

#

for like a lot of classes

fleet whale
#

well yeah, honestly it was lame how good it was across everything

#

throw in soul shape greatly increasing mobility of slow specs

#

and you have an unbalanced covenant

odd hazel
#

Let us change covenants at will and it’ll be gg

forest vigil
#

9.3 when 9.0 is finally complete

#

🙂

fleet whale
#

do the sylvanas dagger effects still only work for one rogue per raid

fleet anchor
#

I mean it didn't even make sense by max level

#

The lore on Covenant swapping was totally scuffed from day one lol

#

You're literally the hero of every damn Covenant in some major way by the time you reach level 60

fleet whale
#

"meaningful choice"

#

"immersive gameplay"

fleet anchor
#

Oh you only saved our entire existance

#

And pulled me out of the Maw

fleet whale
#

these are hot terms blizz use to justify anything

fleet anchor
#

And saved our realm and everyone in it

#

But you better go do 10 M+ runs to prove yourself again

#

🤔

forest vigil
#

I wish there were internal leaks about the blizz team talking about these systems

fleet whale
#

Bobby Kottick is probably there watching from a corner

forest vigil
#

I just want to know if they're really brain-dead or if it's a scheme

#

at this point I'd accept any answer happily

fleet whale
#

it's all there to increase player time metrics

#

so they have something "positive" to show shareholders

strange python
#

I just love that interview with Ion where he said more players than you think like to grind currency on alts

inner temple
#

tbf, i think its 2 and its really 4 griff

#

either one has no consequence on population, but it doesnt make him a liar lol

fleet anchor
#

I'm pretty sure it would have increased player time metrics to allow players to do all 4 campaigns and collect all 4 sets of pets/mounts and upgrade all 4 HQs

#

Rather than making them camp in a single one and get bored

#

Because like every casual player I know quit shortly after the last week of the campaign

fleet whale
#

Honestly I'm not sure what blizz wants anymore from their players

civic trellis
#

its always possible to keep 100% uptime of CT in 2t cleave?

fleet whale
#

it's like they actually don't care about the casual playerbase

civic trellis
#

and 100% uptime of poisons

fleet anchor
#

I mean you probably don't want to use CT during Shiv+Vendetta in 2T but I haven't checked super recently

civic trellis
#

APL uses it

#

but rupture and garrote is higher prio than CT

#

idk

#

i always miss like 200 dps compared to sims

fleet anchor
#

For 2T looks like it yeah but lower priority

vapid solar
#

New to rogue and im guessing Assas is the move for mainly raid but what legendary should i craft first?

balmy condor
#

doomblade, obedience in a couple weeks if it survives

civic trellis
#

There is also an issue with direct poison damage (not the dot one)

#

sims always are doing 2% more than me

#

did like 15 times 2 min 2t rota to check it

balmy condor
#

I would be very surprised

#

if there was an actual problem

civic trellis
#

No i dont mean that

#

i mean i dont see where i am failing at

balmy condor
#

envenom uptime, rng

#

direct dot damage has double rng technically cause you can get unlucky with the application, and then get unlucky with the crits on top

vapid solar
#

What piece would I craft Doomblade on?

balmy condor
#

not surprised that there's some fluctuation

hello

#

So obedience stonks huh

balmy condor
#

correct

#

stonks if/until blizzard decides it's too much

#

even though it really isn't

granite thistle
#

Mhm mhm

#

There's really no good outlaw fights in this raid right?

#

I melee brain never swap from boss

simple wadi
#

i think outlaw could be decent on painsmith

balmy condor
#

nothing particularly stand-out, no

simple wadi
#

but sub probably better

strange python
#

multi target fights where the targets aren't close enough to blade flurry

granite thistle
#

Sounds like it's back to venthyr gang

#

Am vampire. Feels my fangs

strange python
#

are the rumors true

#

is spriest the new boomy for st

loud light
#

what does that even mean

#

spriest was already top dog in st in 9.0.5

granite thistle
#

Lol

strange python
#

seemed like it was close comp between boomy/spriest/afflock

balmy condor

it really wasn't

spriest was a runaway

@balmy condor

it was close

it was so close

so

marble hemlock

sure

#

obedience cope

still going strong

balmy condor

yessir

#

I'd like to play sub this tier

#

at least once

#

so we huffin straight hopium

only assa can be the good spec copium

balmy condor
#

sub deserves it

#

rooting for the homies in blue

marble hemlock
#

errr

#

we need to have a talk whispyr

shy dust
#

people thinking sub could be viable for a tier

#

Seli takes that personally

gloomy knoll
#

sin and sub are viable and both get a new leggo that actually changes the rotation

#

this is literally the best possible option we could ask for

#

and people are huffin and puffin

balmy condor
#

since I started in wod, I have more hours on sub than I do on sin probably

gloomy knoll
#

OMEGAKEKW on god fuck rogues i hate yall so much

balmy condor

and I'm tried of pretending to be the OTP

True we swap from hands doomblade to cloak doomblade

and blizzard hates that

its not like 90% of ranged were fae in 9.0

sonic schooner

Well 90% of the ranged player Base was boomies and mages

gloomy knoll
#

oh damn

#

i fucked up the meme

shy dust
marble hemlock
#

blizz is gonna realize that obedience is too good, nerf it by like 50%, then someone realizes that it simmed too high anyway due to implementation issues and then its just another 2% dps increase legendary like all the others

shy dust
#

only assa can be good

gloomy knoll

whispyr rn

directed by m night shyamalan

sonic schooner

I wish they don't nerf obedience. Not because I'm going venthyr fk it I stay with poisonous boys. But if they don't nerf Obe they ll maybe buff the others 🙄

marble hemlock
#

now thats some serious COPIUM

gloomy knoll
#

oh no we got a slightly better legendary that actually does something like every other class in the game quick everybody freak out

#

OMEGAKEKW rogues r so lame

marble hemlock
#

well yeah

#

thats waaaa too close

#

to a ranged dps

sonic schooner
#

Just use cos and cheatdeath to have less downtime on the boss and beat the sp

marble hemlock
#

woops

sonic schooner
marble hemlock
#

cant beat SP

#

its just too good

gloomy knoll
#

true

#

rogue is diet shadow priest for a reason

fresh tinsel
#

hey guys, one question which one is the best covenant to raiders? necro or venthyr

gloomy knoll
#

we're just a stepping stone

#

to the true st spec

#

lookin like venthyr @fresh tinsel

sonic schooner
#

Mostly depends on what u play, sin/OL or sin/sub

gloomy knoll
#

we still have the tuning pass ahead though things can be subject to change

marble hemlock
#

necro for cleave/aoe, venthyr for st/prio

gloomy knoll
#

i see no reason to go necro when the st difference is 400 dps tbh

marble hemlock
#

if you wanna multispec, venthyr for assa+sub, necro for assa+outlaw

gloomy knoll
#

sin already has good cleave

#

regardless

#

but seli is right

sonic schooner
#

But if u play OL in m+ and u are a pusher 🙄

gloomy knoll
#

it's personal preference at the end of the day

hollow river
#

so is today the last day to spend valor?

#

or do we have until season two opens

gloomy knoll
#

last day i believe

hollow river
#

because i just got a phial

sonic schooner
gloomy knoll
#

since mythic+ season

#

ends

hollow river
marble hemlock
#

biggest questionmark for me would be the difference in dmg for venthyr assa during execute. as you might very well play zoldyck for execute dmg anyway, unless youre literally matching the dps during execute with obedience

fleet anchor
sonic schooner
#

U can sell it and farm plaguefall tomorrow again I think

fleet anchor
#

One Covenant-specific legendary being 7% higher than everything else is just straight bad tuning

#

The question is not if it will be nerfed, it's when

marble hemlock
#

yeah

fleet anchor
#

Better at the start of the tier than the middle

marble hemlock
#

they already nerfed deathspike when it was in a similar position

humble ginkgo
#

Rogues are doing comparable damage to broken ranged classes, nerf it

fleet anchor
#

If it were a generic legendary I don't think anyone would care

sonic schooner
#

Feelsbadman me thinking of the famous words "covenants are mostly cosmetics"

marble hemlock
#

and to me its a question of whether obedience is good enough to be played on fights that require good execute dmg. if it isnt, and zoldyck edges it out during those fights, then the difference between covenants becomes nonexistant again

gloomy knoll
fleet anchor
#

Covenant specific imo has a higher standard for tuning because of how it forces player behavior when they specifically did a giant tuning pass to try to make the Covenants close together

shy dust
#

so no nerf needed

gloomy knoll
#

the only reason

humble ginkgo
#

I wish all covenants were equal and it was mostly for aesthetics but thats in an ideal world

gloomy knoll
#

our covenants

shy dust
gloomy knoll
#

are ven a disucssion

sonic schooner
#

But wait

gloomy knoll
#

of which one you can go

#

is because they're all so shitty

marble hemlock
#

i.e. if sylv p3 is by far the hardest phase, and zoldyck is 1-2% stronger than obedience, than the question becomes whether it is worth playing obedience at that point (esp early on when zuoldyck pants have a much better stat budget than a cloak)

fleet anchor
#

9.0 -> Covenants within 3%
9.0.5 -> Make Covenants within 1%
9.1 -> Make Covenants within 7%
🤔

gloomy knoll
#

to begin with

sonic schooner
#

I guess if we most likely to play zoldyck we would go venthyr anyway nah?

gloomy knoll
#

most other specs only have 1 viable option

#

because it's vastly superior

#

to every other option

marble hemlock
#

if you go zoldyck anyway, then necro and venthyr are pmuch even

gloomy knoll
#

in fact rogue was the outlier

marble hemlock
#

with necro winning on cleave

shy dust
#

start at like 60%

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

im guessing

#

secret mythic phase

#

at like 30

shy dust
#

they said no

marble hemlock
#

like nzoth

humble ginkgo
#

isnt p3 sylv literally just sire

#

the giant plateforms breaks

marble hemlock
#

nah

humble ginkgo
#

aka ravage

marble hemlock
#

its 4 small platforms

humble ginkgo
gloomy knoll
#

i don't disagree that it's bad design though koji

#

you are 100% right on that

shy dust
#

didnt they say in an interview

gloomy knoll
#

but peeposhrug what can ya do i'd rather be a good dps

shy dust
#

there is no mythic secret pahse for sylvanas

fleet anchor
#

I always know there will be a percentage of people who will take something OP regardless of how toxic it is for the community or players

gloomy knoll
#

than have 7 shitty options that all do nothing

fleet anchor
#

Of course I'll swap to Venthyr too if it stays this way

sonic schooner
#

I was thinking that Necro was bis specially for doomblade sbs bleed added peepostudy

regal path
#

anyone had issues with cloak sometimes working sometimes not on mythic sire massacre???

fleet anchor
#

But I don't think that means we say "yeah it's cool that one Covenant specific leggo is like 3x better than everything else for Sub"

#

Our feedback will 100% be "yeah this is dumb"

#

😛

gloomy knoll
#

i'll take obedience because it's the only halfway decent legendary that actually changes our rotation

#

literally every other rogue legendary is weak and or does absolutely nothing but passively increases damage

#

i was hyper stoked for deathspike but

#

rip the homie

marble hemlock
#

some realtalk for a second. its absolutely insane that they managed to not only balance all 3 rogue specs so closely to each other, but also all covenants (if we discount obedience outlier). its particularly amazing when you consider how little time and effort was actually spent on rogue in general during alpha, beta and PTR

fleet anchor
#

Tuning is through class passive hotfixes, not accidental OP shit that is bound to get nerfed eventually

viscid burrow
#

@regal pathworks p2 not p3

gloomy knoll
#

i mean when everything is only worth

#

3%

fleet anchor
#

Having temporary OP shit

gloomy knoll
#

or something low like that

fleet anchor
#

Is literally how Sub has gotten dumpstered in the Mythic hotfix

hollow river
gloomy knoll
#

it's a lot easier than other specs with like

marble hemlock
#

look at all the other triple-dps classes, they tend to only have one viable covenant and spec each tier

fleet anchor
#

Like in 5 out of the last 7 tiers

regal path
fleet anchor
#

😄

gloomy knoll
#

22% leggos lol

#

true

#

i'm not arguing that it's not shit design but

#

i'd rather be a viable dps and get to play the specs i enjoy

#

albeit only temporary

#

than have a bunch of shitty options that do nothing

fleet anchor
#

Sub has OP Azerite traits in week 1 Uldir, we saw how that turned out. They got dumpstered 3 times and then Sub was useless for a year.

gloomy knoll
#

and play a sub par class

marble hemlock
#

we should be thankful we have had multiple playable specs pmuch every tier

viscid burrow
#

@regal pathdoesnt work p3. must have missed u

fleet anchor
#

Relying on individual broken things is a bad idea

marble hemlock
#

very few multi-dps spec classes can claim that

gloomy knoll
hollow river
#

ah

gloomy knoll
#

literally shifts the entire dynamic of the specs rulings

#

like slamming symbols on cd

sonic schooner
#

I don't really see how obedience changes our rotation

gloomy knoll
#

or using things in dance

#

etc

sonic schooner
#

I must miss a critical information

regal path
hollow river
#

go to the sim link

#

and check the rotation in the HTML

gloomy knoll
fleet anchor
#

Either way, if Obedience stays broken probably everyone will be using it until it gets hotfixed. Until it goes live, my feedback will be that the tuning is dumb.

humble ginkgo
shy dust
#

tbf

marble hemlock
#

thats not gonna stay that way

humble ginkgo
#

Yea

shy dust
#

necro was enroaching

humble ginkgo
#

thats why im not jumping the necro ship just yet

shy dust
#

as being the dominant covenant

marble hemlock
#

this isnt me hating on venthyr or obedience. its just not gonna be that way

shy dust
#

especially for assa

marble hemlock
#

deathspike got nerfed after it was broken for a while

shy dust
#

with it doing more st damage than venthye before obedience

humble ginkgo
#

because I know after people craft obedience it will get nerfed just dont know when

marble hemlock
#

it doesnt take much for someone at blizzard to pick up on the obedience hype atm

shy dust
#

which is dumb

marble hemlock
#

to realize "this needs changing"

shy dust
#

when its cleave is so good

humble ginkgo
#

but then again I could jump ship and abuse it

humble ginkgo
#

like what do you expect

shy dust
#

to it not do more st?

humble ginkgo
#

did it do more in st?

sonic schooner
#

Yea the worst thing about obedience strength is that it is linked to a covenant

#

It stinks

shy dust
#

the preliminary sims

#

whispyr had necro edging out venthyr

humble ginkgo
#

SBS was always a bit under venthyr iirc

shy dust
#

in st

humble ginkgo
#

and as outlaw sbs was under whatever but its because its not used properly in sims

shy dust
#

sbs was then buffed in ptr

humble ginkgo
#

ah I see

sonic schooner
#

I like to shiv mut env sbs env sbs env

#

And Necro was about to catch up venthyr ST with the famous fix "sbs bleed can now crit"

#

And then, obedience shows

gloomy knoll
#

at the end of the day

#

i'd rather be a viable dps spec

#

than be able to play all 4 covenants and be shit

humble ginkgo
#

yup

gloomy knoll
#

at everything

shy dust
#

be assa

#

the raid spec

#

only spec that can be good in raid

humble ginkgo
#

I mean SBS just made the game more fun to me tbh

rugged heron

@gloomy knoll that name doe pepegamoves

makes it more fun in raid and in aoe

I want DFA back

im glad its still good

just not BIS

gloomy knoll
#

during gemstones

#

makes it worse than venth

#

imo

#

that gameplay was fucking awful

humble ginkgo
#

well yea sbs on assa is a joke lmao

#

but the way it works on outlaw is 10/10

gloomy knoll
#

well yea they can use it w/e they want as long as skull isn't up

hollow river
#

i like it

balmy condor
#

oh also @marble hemlock I literally can't win cause if I say necro good, then people like tisu will call me braindead, and if I say venth then you're gonna pull out the belt and koji is gonna pull out the marileth, and if I try to say they're both good, then I get "oNe oF tHeM iS bEtTeR tHo"

#

really unlucky

vapid solar

For raid overall, Assas is above Outlaw right?

balmy condor

did you see the marileth buffs whisp?

it's just a lot of arguing back and forth

over miniscule things

I mean yea

U will have to swap to what u want to. I do more dmg as a rogue than as SP because holy heck I hate this class

Add a !covenant command and make Moroes take all the blame

make it so that when someone types !covenant it posts 1 of the 4 at random

at the end of the day, play what makes you happy it's a god damn game

humble ginkgo

That would be amazing

sonic schooner

The fun part about Boomies is that they are "omg 9.1 venthyr sims better than fae"

#

But it's already the case since 9.0 ptr

fleet anchor
#

I mean this is where I'm confused by the Rogue situation

gloomy knoll
#

to be fair

#

their legendaries got nerfed and they got a new venth leggo

#

so it's kind of differen't censi

fleet anchor
#

Since literally every other spec with massive outliers has been trying to nerf/buff to remove the outliers in both 9.0.5 and 9.1

humble ginkgo
#

boomkins crying about nerfs

#

but still being broken

fleet anchor
#

But Rogues introducing a huge Covenant outlier

#

Seems very inconsistent with their goals

humble ginkgo
#

I mean

balmy condor
#

I think the weirdest part of it all is that we need the outlier to keep up with things like spriest and ret and shit

humble ginkgo
#

people are just happy

#

that their spec will do a fuck ton with a new leggo

sonic schooner
#

Most of people forget that sims are just numbers and dsnt really reflect the ingame reality, it s always different from fight to fight

humble ginkgo
#

after an entire tier of being shit

sonic schooner

ret sims are like 10.3 - 10.4

It's pretty hard to get behind Venthyr getting like a 10-12% legendary

hollow river

i was venthyr outlaw for a time

When Night Fae gets like a 0.8% legendary 🤣

gloomy knoll

i mean they just fumbled the bag on leggo

buff fae

gloomy knoll

whoever designed that is straight up just dumb

hollow river

15% fae leggo inc

gloomy knoll

but like

lets goooo

gloomy knoll
#

look at fury warrior

#

exact same situation as us

fleet anchor
#

Night Fae legendary is legitimately an abomination

gloomy knoll
#

they all going venthyr for new venth leggo

#

that's worth like 15%

fleet anchor

It is so so bad

gloomy knoll

literally permanent uptime of their major cd recklessness

in execute

hollow river

lol my warrior was already venthyr POG

Whisp idk if u do that kind of stuff, but so you think obedience will be the go to in pvp aswell? I mean more vers scaling with trinkets sounds so good

humble ginkgo
gloomy knoll
#

it's actually fucking insane

hollow river
balmy condor
#

I just don't get how you have things going like 10.2-10.5 with (arguably worse implementation in sims), and we're like struggling for sub to be relevant for a tier in 3 expansion with an outlier legendary

#

that's what makes me mad

#

like at least balance something at all

gloomy knoll
#

yea the night fae leggo needs to be scrapped

humble ginkgo
#

but this is also a problem

gloomy knoll
#

sub been dead for 3 fucking years

hollow river
#

but kyrian is good for sub ya?

humble ginkgo
#

they will nerf obedience

fleet anchor
humble ginkgo
#

AND subtlety again

#

and make it unplayable

gloomy knoll
#

THREE YEARS

#

like sure other stuff hasn't been meta

fleet anchor
#

This seems clear enough sadly

gloomy knoll
#

but sub has literally been a troll pick

humble ginkgo
#

one tier of sub being good = too much nerf it to the ground.

gloomy knoll
#

for three years

#

forget even being meta

fleet anchor
#

They are fine with Sub being the "PvP spec"

gloomy knoll
#

if you played sub

you were legit inting
