I play rogue for the past 10 years, i can't name a class that has been as often nerfed as rogue tbh

Yea ig rogue just can’t have good things everyone pack it up
Like, come on. You have to willfully ignore the history of balancing for every class to not see that theres patterns that are different for rogue and other classes
Like what, of course they are different, the classes are tuned differently around different parameters
Rogue may be stinky now but ur smoking crack if u think rogue is "always bad"
Lets ask for nerfs to everything strong
what you realy wonted was to tiny toxic blade to be BIS
Do Shamans count if they were never above mid-tier?
“Hello yes blizzard, could you perhaps remove cloak of shadows, yes thank you”
This seems a lot like someone attempting to use personal connections to save themselves a 40 renown grind during raid prepatch lmao. Unless an equal amount of direct input is given to shadow dust, rotten, lack of raid utility on rogue and hunter, how insanely valuable mage priest paladin and Warlock are compared to the other specs in the game
So those classes have these massive outliers, not just because they need them to be viable, but because theyve always had them. Its a core complaint and issue that people have been talking about for years.
You cant compare lego balancing 1 to 1
Ur actually mental if u think
yo true
Koji is nerfing obedience
To avoid a covenant grind
Ur literally a conspiracy theorist
What?
Sure, if you wanna read malice into a statement that would be perfectly acceptable for all of you if it read "rotten is extremely below everything else"
Idk man, just reading his own argument
That's a big reachy reach zephyr 
Youre literally making an exception because he reports something thats good, not something thats bad
@sudden brook covid 19 is an inside job by world leaders
Whatever man
my point was not to say rogue was weak, but a lot of the things that were strong got nerfed, really often. I'm sorry for all those classes that barely spend time on top of charts 
Your reading comprehension is bad if you think I believe that's what he's after
the problem is
No obedience nerfs
the way it's worded is "extremely above everything else"
No winning this one
Blizzard was linked the sims today that shows The Rotten and Duskwalkers Footpads extremely below everything else. It depends on how much you feel they will do anything about it as to if you are inclined to swap immediately.
Kill obedience
I'm saying either his logic is flawed, or that's his goal
Keep the covenant choice diverse ig
So clearly his logic is flawed
As if obedience kills that
I’ve put up with a lot of memeing in this thread today but if you wanna imply that this is just because I don’t wanna spend a couple days getting Renown you’re off your rocker.
I didn't do that though
U literally did
Btw even with the "broken" obedience, where are we placed in the charts among other dps classes ?
What
You literally said "This seems a lot like someone attempting to use personal connections to save themselves a 40 renown grind during raid prepatch lmao. "
UNLESS
Yeah, it's not like Koji and others have repeatedly gotten stuff buffed or fixed
Over the past 10years of his activity as a theorycrafter
Lmao
Koji has that kind of power?
Koji make us the best class pls thanks
Yeah, been playing this Rogue since I started in the Ulduar patch, was maining Paladin tank and then Priest heals for a bit but always had the Rogue doing stuff.
Sucks when they get gutted time after time.
Kill obedience yo blizz was gonna do it anyway lets ask for it so it gets done quicker
rogues can’t have anything good anyway 
Rogue looks like the literal best melee dps
And u guys are still crying
About a maybe nerf
Think about that for a minute

Alright, I can't maintain a real time conversation at work, but my actual point is that maybe instead of complaining about good things, let's complain about everything. Glad my appeal to absurdism actually got my point read
Koji and I disagree. A lot. But holy cow if people actually think that people like him havent been a main reason why a class that historically receives little to no attention isnt in the playable state it is partly thanks to contributions like his, then people just dont know their shit
Outlaw is predicted to be S tier isn’t it
Maybe for m+
Koji is one of the people maintaining the bugtracker for example?
M+ sure
oh I was talking mainly about m+
Do not listen to tier lists lmao
We've got plenty of bad shit fixed into playable state
What, you don't like mouseover bleed spam? 
i mean the bottom line is that it's blizzard's fault for having obviously unbalanced stuff out literally hours before a patch goes live tho
Nah man, its Kojis fault
Maybe
Super unbalanced
XD
It’s not which is funny
Giga busted
Simming? Damn
5 ret raid?
Shits bussin
Damn the sims that don't have daggers?
Or gems?
Yeah real relevant sims
Lmk how raid looks
Shits bussin
sims have everything except daggers
In 3 weeks


obedience wiull be craft in cloack to?
Lmk which melee is stacked in raid
tbh i don't care if it's balanced or not, the problem is that since i need to basically reroll covenant around that, it'd be nice to have some sort of security on what to do hours before patch goes live
If it's ret or rogue
but i guess blizz doesnt agree 😄
yay forever got his og skin back
I'll place bets on neither 
vergil from dmc
complaining about everything works for ranged DPS, believe in yourselves
like i was necro, farmed 40 venthyr, if tomorrow they nerf it they're basically telling me im dumb for trying to minmax and play the game
I gotta for the toxicity level in this server rn about Koji trying to rebalance shit that is obviously overtuned
which is happening over and over again lately
Depends, is he the storm?
Giga overtuned
when patches drops blizz SURELY wont make any nerfs or changes making people swap the covenent, right? 
Wait is obi getting nerfed?
my problem is if I change covenant I don't wanna be punished for being behind in renown 
i agree, just hoped for it to be more cemented by now that's all
obe getting buffed
p[ast 40 renown
I would just put it out there that if people feel so insecure about Blizzard being linked our literal pinned sim results then it's pretty clear what the state of things are.
This ain't me doing anything special here. It's just something that was massively buffed like 3 days before the patch. It is what it is.
where @dapper solar
there
What Guy said, rather have them nerf Obe instead of 2% aura nerf for rogue specs lol
TRUE
buff OBE or riot
3 days before patch
No lol
Its always been assumed this is how it is meant to be lmao
It literally did not function like that in-game
24 seconds of versatility
This was fixed
2-3 weeks ago
Trust me
I literally got on ptr every build and tested it lol
This is not a thing done 3 days ago
we should send sims to blizzard to balance cleave dps too, why let necro have that much dps different than other covenant ? 
Why not just nerf obe for sin then, to give y’all options, and leave obe as is for sub so they can have a non shit leggo
If you say so.
This was something that wasn’t implemented right in sims until 3 days ago
Well unholy DK kept getting nerfed start of expac ...yet affliction and balance druid seemed fine in blizzards eyes. Don't blame ppl for not knowing if it will get nerfed or not lol
The spell data was not changed.
affliction got fucked
They have updated Obedience multiple times
I mean CN tier
But at the end of the day, getting so attached to PTR tuning is just unhealthy imo.
We don't know if they will nerf us now or at 9.2 is my point
Blizzard has not been consistent with their balancing nerfs
Mythic patch is the only patch that matters, cause after that they wont really nerf or buff much :/
What covenant would you suggest if I wanna play assassination and sub in raid and m+
Considering the patch is out for NA, it wouldn't get changes this week anyway?

You can't get obe until mythic week anyway if i don't remember wrong.
man blizz has no idea how to balance anything, look what happened with deathspike, op on outlaw completely destroyed for all 3 specs
Are we getting resounding nerfed too?
Only if shit is REALLY over the top, which to be hones OBE kinda seems to be
it doesnt
Either its all finality levels of strong or it wont be balanced
according to the pinned sims its not that far over the top right? like 4%?
if they deem obedience to be too strong, you can bet they'll make it so weak you'll never consider crafting it ever again 😄
How could a potential ob nerf look like?
Unholy kept getting nerfed through mythic weeks yet affliction stayed op the entire tier
0.5 vers? 0.5sec cd
They won't nerf flag, they will nerf obe if anything.
Saying that flag was just fixed few days ago is just wrong
^
Yeah ob i mean
It was like two weeks ago I think that it was fixed
That is 100% misinformation
they will nerf nothing
Legendary was bugged until 2-3 weeks ago
It was also assumed by most that this is how it would work
This is the problem with having a completely closed development team
everyone wildly speculates
there is no reason to nerf it
no one knows what is going to happen
i know whats going to happen
Need to convince more devs to main rogue
Okay out of the loop here, is people speculating it will get nerfed or is it based on something solid
At this point if a nerf does happen it will put us back where we were 4 days ago. Which means both venth and necro would be viable. So logical thing to do would be to go venth now and switch later on should the need arises
If they even play WoW at all lul
If people are confident that Obedience is mega balanced and won't get nerfed, nobody should fear anything.
Obedience is literally bis st for all 3 specs
Resounding is bis for sub on st, and is way harder to play
i'm confident it's balanced when compared to other classes yes
These are very different
If people look at the chart and fear that Blizzard might balance it, then you have your answer there
And you may wanna wait a week and see what happens
This isn't in my hands, it's just data
but its not even that far ahead, right?
then I'd have to be kyrian which would mean I can't play assassination that well
No because if care about perfect balance then resounding should be nerfed too
if they nerf obe, they nerf cleave dps imbalance covenant too for the class then 😉
Otherwise kyrian is just straight up several % better than other covenants
hey guys! is there any updated sin guide for 9.0.5 or 9.1? i've played a ton of sub and outlaw in 9.0 but i have little to no experience with sin, looking to mix things up!
And we dont want that right?
!guide
ah okk
way harder to play 
i saw the january 14th and i was assuming it's outdated on the ravenholdt one
tbh i'd rather have one clear covenant choice for progression and minmaxing players, things are so simple like that. Hate all this uncertainty around everything
@fleet anchor hope you dont feel too offended tho. everything is fine, it's just people being afraid of what blizz does about it 😄
I just want to pick the best covenant choice to multispec assassination and sub
same for me
outlaw in bin
So is overall consensus if Venth we are going to be going OBE?
Yes
we are all NF
yup unless last moment tuning changes
Eww NF
stuck at necro until next week
3pm PST?

u wont get obedience till week 3 anyway, no not loosing much now
Same my man, same
facts
Necro next week, considering not even going venthyr at this point :p
even with a 50% obe nerf - wouldnt venth still be perfectly viable for sin and sub?
yes
It would
and that would be super heavy handed
v-word 
it would but i'd imagine for sin necro would be way more versatile
oh no doubt
@balmy condor can we add "viable" to the list of trigger words?
if obe gets nerfed at all necro sin is bis
⚖️
not if you want to play both sub and sin
if u take obedience out of the equation in pure ST venthyr is 100 dps ahead as sin and behind on literally every other scenario
Then we should nerf necro
And when necro is nerfed we should nerf the best one after that
And then we can keep doing that
delete the rogue class from the game
Wasn't that basically 9.0 rogue?
i have no dog in this fight - i just dont understand the argument that being able to play sin and sub is predicated on obedience
Perhaps we blast all rogue legendaries to 1%
Well I'ma play my FFXIV Rogue

rogue discord minecraft server when?
@faint harness wtf nerfing necro???? wow no they are super ahead in 2t and 3t ! we should nerf the obe 1t venthyr only so necro is bis everywhere
If all is 1% then we are finally balanced, blessed be the balance
@simple wadi you can play sin or sub however you like, however the best covenant is influenced by obedience because it's venthyr only legendary
Because you can't really be kyrian assassination if you wanna pump it as sub/sin
Outlaw was fine
Hey, I'm all good. I (along with many others) spend 100s of hours on the TC work every week. If people are offended by data being presented, that's their call.
Only thing I'm going to be annoyed with is misinformation about Renown or other BS that is just clearly turned into memeing at this point. 😛
I want this
no one comes out looking good at this point
all i heard before obedience reared its head was how kyrian was sim bait and likely nerfed due to mika nerf
The only reason I was even calling this out in public was to imply that, as I say basically every major patch--wait until Mythic week to make any major decisions. Because who knows what will happen with tuning.
If people are angry that I'm potentially saving them time and pain by "warning" them, then so be it. 😛
Problem is you didn't say that
Could've just said "wait until mythic tuning to make a choice"
”Massively overpowered” or something along those lines is what i remember reading
but people took what you said
the wrong way
because of the poor wording implication
massively ahead of other sims iirc
poor choice of wording
Eh nah
Obediance needs tuning stop acting like snowflakes
I think people are just defensive because they know it's busted and want to be OP next patch
Which is fine. But still true. 🙂
Problem is people are way too invested in a game and start holding personal grudges because someone may or may not have lead to something getting nerfed after repeatedly having helped fix bugs and promote improvements to the class and specs. Even though it may or may not have gotten nerfed regardless of any input given.
i mean, blizzard will decide to nerf or not regardless of what he said or how he worded it, if you think otherwise you frankly live in your own world
@vital tapir
I mean, it's more % increase for rogue
@naive cypress
have to go so I'll just ping myself here to continue reading later
but is it really OP when compared to the other classes?
Kieron kieron
It doesnt matter my friend
@fleet anchor hey, did you report the 2t et 3t imbalance between covenant too ? or just the 1target obe imbalance ? (just for info)
Rogue can’t have good things its a simple thing
if you say yes then we can die on the hills we;'ve chosen
Either its not a big deal if it gets nerfed or not, and then people are blowing it waaaaay out of proportion. Or peoples frustration with a potential nerf is justified, but that requires the impact to actually be big enough - at which point a nerf is to be expected regardless of whether someone mails Ion about it or not.
I'm clearly not the one doing the changes because if I was, it wouldn't be like this at all to begin with. lol
So ball is definitely not in my court haha
Rogue is designed in a way that it can not have good covenant abilities, good conduits, good legendaries
Assa necro would be giga
Shame
it's not about other classes. Blizz has been trying to fix the covenant shitshow by trying to balance them. Right now obedience makes venthyr covenant clear bis period. Blizz dont' like that. Blizz nerfs. or not, who knows
Whispyr's sim sheet has DS and HAC as well iirc
That's pretty much the case DK, yeah. The reason our class was so much better balanced in early SL already, is because of how low impact all our rental powers are.
All our covenants were viable, because they were all equally shit.
This lel
he has 2 and 3 target cleave @naive cypress
Alrighty
Other classes got a whole fucking new niche with their sl borrowed power
Rogues? Rogues get bent
I just prefer it to the "you can only play one spec and one class this patch because all these other toys are just not good enough compared to this one"
See, you see that as a bad thing, I think the ability to switch specs based on encounter and legendary choice is great.
no outlaw
@fleet anchor do you have a spreadsheet to compare to other classes?
Means I'm not a one trick pony who can only do one thing
But can fill certain niches and address some strenghts and weaknesses on the fly from pull to pull to increase my raids chance of success
Tbh. This has been stated several hundred times.
Covenant Recommendations
assassin/subtlety: venthyr
assassin/outlaw: necro
subtlety/outlaw: kyrian
all 3: pick one depending on the above.
in the pinned section
I mean people are worried that if rogues are undertuned they wont be brought to raid because someone else can fil that slot since rogues still don't have any raid utility.
you get those answers
but kyrian is best for sub sir
I pretty much just look at HeroDamage or something if I care about other classes. I don't really spend a lot of mental bandwidth worrying about classes I don't play though. They all have their own problems. 😛
Meanwhile Hunter goes Wildspirits go BRRRR and if that doesnt work, they cant do shit about it anyway, its the only option they have.
if obedience is an outlier
Rogues not being brought to raid because they dont have utiltiy wasnt true in Nathria, and it certainly wont be true now that our damage has become much better by comparison
Okay so let me ask
I am asking what covenant to play
honestly, i think people worry too much for nothing. Blizz knows we need output to stay relevant. I'd wager that's the reason we get dagger in the first place. I would'nt worry too much
if venthyr isn't good for sub
Honestly, anything but Fae works
and I want to play sub/assassination
wut
If obedience gets the hammer
that is exactly what happened in CN tho
Is the total output of the top ST sims for sub/assa with obedience a problem
Is the grand total numbers
a problem
go venthyr because necro is for nerds
Like are they too high
man I leave for two hours and it's still going lol
It is Koffing
yes
In pure st ya
Well yes, in pure ST
But its unplayable without Obedience
Not for sub xd
only in st and barely
in pure ST, which means not really XD
But sub is an irrelevant spec haha xd
And rogue is trash and unless youre xxroguethiefgodxx you dont get a raidspot anymore
st damage is all that counts anyway so
But again i ask
idk about that chief, but Ima go back to my pancakes kekw
parsegodX
Is the total number with obedience, an issue, is it too high
No, Kyrian is
Hard to say w/o dagger stuff being implemented
I mean we won't know that until we start raiding. Some sims are just way lower than reality, lots of stuff still bugged or non-implemented due to the PTR patches. Trying to predict how the classes will fall right now is very difficult, if not impossible.
And constant tuning still happening
what is happening
How was this not true? Rogue was an extremely low representation class at the top end, and incredibly low in recruitment desirability at all levels
Can this same logic not be applied to the idea of obedience being overtuned then
Its 10%
Which has always been the case. Every tier. Since ToS.
No, because our sims are internally consistent
How do you know how useful it will be in raid encounters
Cross comparison to other classes is far less reliable
@marble hemlock i think it's like this since cata, they made daggers to boost rogue population since it was already floorpov
I talked about this earlier, but the expectation of Obedience getting a nerf is not due to us expecting Assa to be too strong in the grand scheme of things, but because theres a very strong and longlasting history of internal outliers at the top-end being nerfed.
(For Rogue)
Outlaw was fine
Outlaw was totally fine for 9.0
And theres no indication to expect that to suddenly be any different
our outliers make people cry when they get gibbed :/
I really don't think Blizzard will be happy with one specific covenant legendary being BIS for all 3 specs in ST
like 94% of players playing NF ?
Assassination was way behind which, incidentally for all those who claim we don't ask for buffs, we said was 20-25% behind Sub/Outlaw all through beta constantly. We gave this feedback many, many times. lol
rogue had literally no representation in the race watsoever. immunities were useless in a raid made mostly of physical abilities.
Realisitcally, they should nerf Obediance
Our powerlevel shouldn't be measured in terms of one legendary
The race for world first is not representative of overall class balance though.
I mean melee would have not been brought at all if not for AMZ being OP
it kinda is tho
Its BiS for all three in ST, BiS for Sub DS and within literal spitting distance of sin DS. A nerf isn't unwarranted
I am not even saying rogue will be too strong, if we want rogue to be strong I would prefer base kit buffs or more utility
That is just WoW raids these days
careful man, DK will accuse you of being a snitch for wanting whats good for the class lol
It really isn't though. And the game isnt balanced around it, either.
Melee < Ranged is a big issue with current raid design
Yea man nerfs are really good for the class
It's a wow issue as a whole
Love getting nerfed
@fleet anchor i agree, but i don't necessarily think that means that rogue was good, it was not. Barely represented at all in top 100 in fact
let alone raid design
in what world.
Its indicative of community PERCEPTION, but not at all about balance
I don't get the fuss
Ele shaman wasnt a broken class just because Pieces brought 5 of them to Uunat.

Outlaw was probably the 2nd best melee in CN prog...
Before we knew how strong Obedience was, everyone thought we will be really good regardless?
LOL
cap
Well, decent, not top tier but more than good enough
Nah don’t open this up
not ww?
Rogue was #3 in my book. DK and WW being stronger choices for melee
if u look at most kills in top 100 they had DK, then either war/monk/dh for buff, and thats it
sadly thats all you needed for melees spots + warrior to buff
They also usually had 1 rogue?
if you had access to every spec you would not have brought a rogue in CN at all
I'm on the fence about WW. I think WW was really good on some fights but less flexible across the board. Just my opinion though. It would be close imo.
With quite a few guilds running 2 rogues, even, on a boss that could at most use 5 melee.
Fk EU and US hail China they always bring rogues even in top guilds.
It was insane on SLG and good on Sire
@marble hemlock i mean sure, some did, i think u will find 1 or 2 rogues in top 10, wasnt really needed for anything though XD
WW is unkillable in raids basically
Hello where are you going to craft obedience?
Unless a bunch of you are sekrit Limit players, I wouldn't really fixate on WF raiding comps though
It's like Foreverguy said once, "Just be a good player, and you will get brought"
So you agree that Rogue was perfectly viable?
Pretty much every raid comp outside of WF raiding had a Rogue or two in CN...
If it wasnt, they wouldnt have been brought, as per your own logic.
@marble hemlock it depends what you mean by viable, viable doesn't mean good
obedience should not get nerfed
Viable means playable. By definition of the word.
@marble hemlock i didn't say it's not viable, i said it's not good
The #5 kill of the world literally played 2 outlaw rogues already
Dude, either way, then buff all other legendaries
But it was good.
Obedience is too strong overall
It just wasnt the best.
Big nerf enjoyer
In terms of Rogue balance, not overall class balance
Which only one class can be
Any other nerf enjoyers here
The problem, afaik, is the fact that Sub has seen the short end of the stick for years now. Obedience allows for sub to be competitive again. If Obedience eventually gets nerfed, it's likely that Sub will see very little play, unless Blizzard gives Sub more (aura) buffs and it's unlikely that we'll see both a nerf to the best legendary as well as a buff to the actual spec.
i really like nerftank, yeah
and?
hes a cool and down to earth guy
big mentally challenged person....
You can play kyrian
The problem wasent that rogues were super undertuned, the problem was that DK's were to good.
Except obedience is like actually quite fun lmao
Isn't a better solution an aura buff for sub instead of having it rely on 1 legendary?
Actual good legendary
mages, warlocks, dk's and WW used 1 or maybe 2 leggos all 9.0~9.0.5 and everyone was fine with that
Which turns out to be as good on outlaw and sin on ST
why cant we do the same
TOS lmaooo
Watch your language
I don't want obedience, I want the fly mount from necro cov tho 
Yes.
so from a raid encounter perspective, how is sin looking vs the new raid? swapping specs more or less for a specific boss in comparison to CN?
i changed it for automod but 10-4
This guy already hit filter
the wasp? really?
Ups that wasn't meant to be an answer, sorry
!mute @inner temple 60m filter evading
People saying that Obe is out of place are not taking other classes into consideration. Obe means all other legendaries will be 5% playrate on ST fights combined
Sorry shien 
Yeah give me that wasp, whatever it is, best cov mount of the four

but what slot is the bis for obedience?
Everyone knows that we won't beat SPriest in ST even with Obedience lol
Cloak
I really prefer otp through a whole raid but sometimes there's fights like kael where going outlaw is just the move
It doesn’t even make us the best lmao
@frosty bridge thanks ❤️
nerf sps 
SP's are bonkers on ST atm. SP's does everything that sub can do but better and they are ranged 😄
says who
why is there panic all of a sudden ?
Second mute today by Vaughn. 
Hi @gusty kestrel
sup
Sims i guess, but who knows until mythic week
ah the classic answer
Is there actually any SP sims we can look at atm? 😮
@gusty kestrel did you prog CN as rogue ?
some of it
Warcraftpriests github has Some sims afaik
Are we still thinking Zoldyk for M+ in 9.1? I'm Necro but my understanding is that Deathspike got nerf-killed for Sin.
Yeah alno
@gusty kestrelWhy not all of it?
Death spike hot nerfed?

Got@
Chances obedience gets nerfed to oblivion? Lol
14.7% repeating
Is it worth switching now to venthyr or something lost/delayed if we go in 1-2 weeks over?
the best covenant is venthyr?
Hard to say how catchup will work post 40, you might be behind if you switch later
But as far as i know, you will be able to catchup even after 40 by doing M+, arenas and stuff etc
it'll work like it did for 1-40
so it doesn't matter if you wait or switch prior to mythic week
Hmm to make doom blade or risk obedience nerfs 🤔
initially*
I guess it's best to not make anything until mythic week
can't make rank 5s until mythic week anyway
and you won't have obedience until renown 48
so
there's plenty of time
just farm all the soul ash in the world
Have the quest ready to switch on mythic week if you really want and make the decision then

Bet
make everything rank 4
looking at the items you need, you wont craft a rank 5 anyway due to how expensive it's gonna be
except you're rich af, then it prolly doesnt matter
Would they nerf obedience once mythic raid is out?
no one knows
Or is heroic week usually where they do last minute tuning
ah fair enough thanks
Do we want to get 40 renown before we start the new campaign?
Literally don’t even have it on heroic week tho
Yes but it's not the end of the world,
Ah
So it will either get nerfed off sims or later in patch is my guess
If we want obedience week 3
Perfect then, I’ll just go doomblade first for heroic week
obedience later down the line
Ya thats what I am doing. Im already Necro 40 renown. Im going to wait and see what happens with Obed and if it ends up being as the current prediction says then use the catch up to make another covenant swap ect and do the the renown grind and will have the soul ash for the legendary for when it comes out.
Yeah, same, with the whole drama I'll just stay ol' reliable Necro
Worst case switch mythic week
if we use obedience with 20% reducing cd boe trinket will we get 1min flagg usage?
Thats only for healers
Oh wait
That other trinket
No that reduces door, soulshape, kyr pot, and fleshcraft
Thats only for door
Apparently already super imba
craft doomblade legendary on back when patch goes live is still current recommendation for sin rogue?
If I queue up a cov switch (do the first quest or whatever) can I cancel that process and go a different direction?
If you’re not venthyr, ye
And if you are venthyr? 👀
the covenant lego

Correct for now 🙂 and could be forever, but the venthyr leggo had created some
chats today
thats ST raid recommendation currently
yo bois ....anyone got any of those....sexy sims for 9.1
I just tried this last week (had the nf one stocked from 9.0.5 in case venth wasn't as pog as it seemed) and the answer is no. You have to completely finish going back to a cov before starting another swap
hiding them in my basement
uuuu can you like.....get me in and just throw away the key we won't be needing it
Yikes. I'm glad I asked.. thanks!
We are getting nerfed on all good options so you will have to wait and see
what got nerfed now
Its coming, assa is fucking broken
Leave my spec alone 😭
time to go play shadowpriest
Do what?
dw bois rogue still sucks they cant nerf us can they
is spriest fun
Ye
having only been a combo point/energy boi
Doing large damage is fun
Sp is probably fun
Never being nerfed enough is sick too
Spriest only fun because it's top dmg
that's cap
I don't enjoy current spriest at all
They can’t nerf us if we band together!
the spec is actually fun to play
my spriest is shitty and does no damage
still fun
Full turret spec
So i guess i will stay bone boi doomblade is still the pick right?
I mean you can’t craft venthyr leggo till later anyway
So I’m assuming most people will have to make doomblade first
Don't give me that hope
the rogue assa is going to be strong in pvp¿?
It always has been
Sorry, i am a bit out of touch - will there be any new sims when the patch hits live?
some things didn't even work properly at any point on ptr so once live data can be confirmed and added to simc I'm sure things will get updated
poor kleia
Is Raidbots updated for 9.1?
Have nerfs been communicated?
Yeah there literally isn’t a broken melee spec
unholy was the closest in 9.0 but even then still not as good as ranged
We get a new leggo and people go nuts because it’s good
But it’s still no where near other classes good
So we will prob go under the radar a decent bit but I could see it being tuned when we get more stats
They didn’t even nerf UH DKs
Except a survival ability
¯_(ツ)_/¯
not 3pm
Just memes, you do enough for us lol
Can we talk about something else than the legendaries, covenants and stop speculating about everything for once? 
why they lie so much
everyone is asking where them sims and is rogue any good....
But I'm gonna ask is Whispyr good today?
Not really, no
Yeah, how’s whispyr and cev today
+1
God I hope they rework Exsanguinate one of these days
I would love to play that again
I quite enjoyed the playstyle, even without 80%+ haste
I hope you feel better soon papi 

The spec channels infighting about obedience and venth vs necro vs kyrian and sin vs sub has been getting me down quite hard tbh
But it’ll pass probably
Hopefully
I also hope so, I figured it did
at least we all agree that NF is shit
You just did your job, sorry dog 
Also the current drama on sub is 
It was here earlier
i am still nf
tbh i will switch tomorrow or so
Has there been any news on the daggers yet? I'm hoping I just missed it..
Best bet is to wait until next week for info on them.
Or sometime throughout this week
I assume they turned it off to fix it
Hunters are saying that the Sylvanas bow is a 1-3% DPS loss in ST and barely an upgrade in cleave/m+
And DKs (not sure about the others) all say that feeding the 2h weapon is a waste of time
Seems like all of the weapons in SoD are broken lol
if only they implemented them not at the literal last minute
@balmy condor was anything else bugged other than the fact that 2 rogues couldn't both have them? Or do u think the double proc/double dam was a bug
@balmy condor strim when
The double proc/double dam was definitely an oversight.
Maybe later today, not sure what I want to do yet
It's likely that either one stays, either it procs twice as much, or does twice the damage per proc, but not both.
But 
I think double proc makes more sense
I think so too.
Rogue class peace talks on stream when
That would mean that the daggers are both working independently from one another
And I think that just makes a lot more sense.
Yeah
True
The damage was too high but it should stack
doomblade-ish way of stacking is fine imo
Whispyr. Maybe we should hold sim like they did on outlaw channel on next patch
Wtf sry cev.. it pinged the wrong.message
I think most people are thankful they knew the sims before the patch and switched venthyr
Yeah it really does need a rework. It's far too sensitive to specific conditions to actually be functional. Without Haste snapshotting it'd probably never be used for anything.
I never thought I would miss Cev explaining the use of CT on Sire P2 10 times a day....but here we are
I think blood of the assassinated + exsang tick rate, all wrapped into aoe
Could be something
And on top of it, it's just too fun of an ability to be so rubbish in practice. Maybe we'll see some Exsang plays further down the line, fingers crossed. 🤞 
Like what if we got some way to have the blood of the assassinated thing under control
Like idk
This is where I mentioned that we found a really hilarious bug with Deadly Poison not proc'ing from random things last night and now all of Whispyr's numbers are wrong and he has to re-do them. (But probably has very little impact on anything other than Dashing other than numbers will go down by like 100-200 DPS.)
Is it always this much of a shitshow when a patch is releasing

What even is the bug
I noticed that today when I was in PTR
Like what’s it not proc from
Deadly Poison apparently doesn't proc from things that every other poison procs on
Like Garrote, Rupture, SBS primary cast, and Shiv
It's fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, just really strange
Is that new in 9.1? I thought we combed through deadly poison last patch
in terms of people asking what's best, yes. the personal attacks are a new thing
Not totally sure when it appeared
Realistically it changes very little in relative terms
i used to book 2 weeks work vacations for major patch/expansion releases, over the years learned not to do that and instead take 2 weeks off a month into a new patch/expansion lol
Cause I remember dashing bugs made us look at deadly
Other than Dashing
Is it implemented in the sims or is it still very fresh?
I put it in last night
to ur mom

Lievet gave a bunch of logs and I tested on dummies for like 2 hours
Was good times
It's amazing I found time between testing the dagger on PTR, implementing the Volatile Solvent changes, and nerfing Sub. 😄
But more seriously, it is definitely a really funny bug
Koji 
Hopefully shouldn't have any major impact though
@fleet anchor marileth in too?
Wonder how that even came to be
🍝
Like I don't recall seeing anything related to poisons in a while
First I thought it was an offensive poison issue
Guess I have some CONTENT for today

it's amazing how much work you guys put in and as far as i know you are not even on blizzard payroll yet finding all these bugs for them lol
None of the theorycrafters get paid by blizzard for anything
It’s a passion project
i figured as much, i mean blizzard barely even pays their own employees ....they tend to pay them with "prestige". So all your hard work is appreciated!
@fleet anchor Is the bug only present in PTR or is it in the live game as well? 
Parts of it appear to be on live
I only tested pieces
But again, it's not like it really changes much
Other than our final number
Kojiyama <Pieces>?
Yeh, def not.
Im glad i didnt switch to necro from Venth

Dashing would just be the one side effect but very few people using it atm
You say that now 
so is the NF leggo the worst designed leggo in wow history?
Yes
Quite possibly yes
like at least prydaz and sephuz had utility in legion
Does instant poison for the other specs have the same problem as deadly? If not that's even more hilarious. 
i'm glad i swapped out of NF.. i hated sepsis
the nf legendary item can be adamage loss even on subtlety
watch it get "reworked" 2 weeks into the patch and become bis
You can literally lose dps by using it
with them letting domination slots go on legendaries is cloak still the go to slot?
so i would say that quantifies as bad design
Will the new torghast be implemented right away ?
Yes
No.
Prydaz also had mad stats for the slot. It wasn't actually horrible. Probably better than NF legendary. 😛
Any idea when ?
cool im glad i didnt buy a 4 cloak for no reason
Next week
We only get the next chapter in the campaign and Korthia tomorrow.
Nothing else.
like what were the devs smoking when they made it
Well you’re gonna need to buy a rank 6 eventually
But yeh
You’re good
the first week everyone will be busy freaking out and switching covenants every 7 hours. The real patch starts next week
i know, but it will be a few weeks and i only have my shoulders at 210
I’m pretty sure torghast is being updated and goes to layer 9 tomorrow
Cool, will anything new torghast wise be there? ( more ash etc? )
so I can have a rank 4 when servers are up
wasn't prydaz buffed in stat budget?
it couldn've been like your ambush deals 600% more damage after sepsis
and it would've been better
Embers and infinite ash right?
i got the 3 utility legendary items first
prydaz was also nice for the mage tower
that would be fun in pvp
first dps legendary in nh
That's what I thought as well, but someone else said something different. Fact checking now.
Just switched over to necro last night, I prefer to play sin rogue in m+ . Where does SBS fit in to multi target and ST opener.
I was king generic
zold was my very last sin leggo
I got Prydaz, Sephuz, and KJBW as my first three
Appreciate it
and i got it in 7.3
Was the proc for only 1 rogue for the daggers a bug or intended ?
After subterfuge garrotes
Yeah, you were correct. It unlocks immediately.
@balmy condor thanks
Bug. Apparently fixed on latest build.
Thanks for the correction. 
Np
Thank you
:P
Let the maw chores begin
servers are still down...
I'm going camping tomorrow and I also have a mythic reclear tomorrow.
That's going to be interesting.
3.5 more hours sir
now to wait for servers to go live and grind renown!
I'm not even sure if my guild is going to survive to raid this patch. 🙃 I also don't know if I care enough to look again if it dies.
in 9.1 is there a way to skip the campaign of a covenant you've done on another toon?
Hashtag alliancelife
lol my former guild died in like April
GM went cray cray
now i'm just in some casual normal/heroic guild
this is gonna be the first tier since SoO that i won't get AoTC
unless if i pay for a carry and i'm not gonna do that
I don’t believe so
I read to fast and saw “my former gm died in like April” and I was so devastated for a second oh my god
Was no special info on instant renown 40 skips, prob just super increases drop rates
I believe they added a skip for all the torghast portions in chapter 2 or whatever, but that's it.
I'm a scrub now, only have done 9/10 H Nathria
That sucks
:(
Sadge
RIP
RIP indeed
sadge
Just waiting for tomorrow
People who say covid isn’t real, bullshit. You can see how it can and has taken lives.
Yeah
Was buying a matress last year and talking to the sales guy. I was being my regular dumb sarcastic self and said something like "Oh Covid just a democratic hoax"...clearly sarcastically tho. Guys had 3 family members die of Covid a month prior
I had to buy the most expensive matress just to make up for how bad I felt
@balmy condor double dagger = double proc and damage?
@balmy condor double dick = double penetration?
Still see it daily chief. Literally hundreds personally, truly sad times
Do you think he was being truthful?
That's a euphemism
I don't think mattress salesmen had a good year
Bought a couch earlier this year, took 3 months to get it.
Yeah economy got fuked
Ya'll got any more of those juicy sin logs 
Juicy sin logs tn

They got rid of the ½ price wings deal at the pub I go to every Tuesday.

If you're the only one to parse, it's only ever gonna be 100"
i got really sick with covid last year, lost my job because i couldn't work for about 3 months while recovering, even lost my raiding spot in my CE guild lol!
That's what i tell the arcane mage in my guild
now just trying to get back in the swing of things and hopefully get back in raiding mythic consistently out of pugs.
The sin CFs are too pure for this world
What about Napgers?

No tears, only Obedience nerfs now
No negativity 
Nah obedience is chill 
Sleep stream? All of sin comes together for a late night cuddle pile?

I just wanna play, not wait 3 more hours 
is your stream just Whispyr? been meaning to catch a stream
Link in his profile
Only if frosty is there too 
Linked to my discord if you click my profile
I should also show up in the #rogue-streamers thing
But I use Spotify which makes for a buggy mess
Makes for a copyrighted mess
I regularly get a ping when I END my stream
Screw Twitch, stream to pornhub


moroes old and senile
I'll stream topless
yea i dont spend much time on discord aside from voice chat when i get home though, just have twitch pulled up and usually on wow or something
anyone who does not show up just try typing !stream
moment, letme double check
Beach went from toxic to wholesome over a week. Truly a comeback anime arc
i think i need to modify it
Bless 
giveme a sec
New patch who dis
Sure I’ll hit it later
i think the problem is caching that fucks up the stream post
Yeah
i rewrote it in eris (prior used discord.js)
but the sevrer has 100k users so there is some caching magic happening i am not sure how to change
kick everyone with just the sub role
Haven't seen one in a while
😅

An imposter!
What are you hiding?
Blue bois aren't allowed
The coins for your survivors bag 
@inland hull Good boi saw the role removal

Oh snap! I'm caught!
If I changed from mecha can I be forgiven
Only if it’s to blood elf 
@unborn marlin Good boi
xDDDDD

SUb’s a fun spec, I’m just a boring OTP 😛

Go back to fighting 





Whats feelycraft math on sylvanas damage bonus?
What bonus damage?
The bonus dagger from the dagger that they removed?
The daggers are statless with no proc right now
0 because removed 
don't worry, it's a finished product guys

P-O-L-I-S-H

Oh it got removed?
I mean I'm not great at math, but it was only really a 1-2% gain anyway
multi dollar company btw
I only want 9.1 to be good so oxi will continue to be a rogue boy 
The proc was disabled because it was bugged to shit
that "highly polished" comment, lold, and sadge

"Here's some butter knives"
I only want 9.1 to be good so oxi will continue to be a rogue boy :peepoShy:
@spice spire
Nice copy paste 


Senpai 

it would be nice if we could give more content than a emote to messages.
