thx
42 renown and 3/9 chapters, correct?
so 43 if I have dyslexia?
Yes
Thanks @balmy condor 😗
Other than that, just do torghast and farm rares in Korthia huh?
Yep
Cool beans
egg collecting mmo
daily lockout on the eggs 
Depends on whether or not it survives tuning
Right now? You would probably just craft obedience
I don't even have Doomblade lmao
Hey. Im gonna start maining my rogue again after a long break,
Is Assassination viable?
Is there any good guides for what Covenant to choose? Will play both Dungeons & Raids!
!guide
Their a easy way to get a higher ilvl lashing scar conduit besides h sire? or is that really the only easy way each week
sire or venari things, not sure if they work anymore
if I swap venthyr next week, does that leave me a week behind or can I reach next weeks renown cap as well?
you can always catch up if you haven't the done the non catchup renown gains yet
What’s the pros / cons of venthyr, if I’m looking at playing outlaw for m+ and whichever is best for raid
What’s the pros / cons of venthyr vs necro*
I should say
How does sin compare to the other specs in raid & dungeons?
I’m still just going of whispyr post from the 20th that sun/outlaw is necro
Probably maybe potentially
Depends on the wind speed / direction and position of the moon at the time
yea
In fact I think that’ll be so popular you’ll see people playing kyrian sub to counter it
purely pvp players maybe most sub players will be venthyr
well, seems the biggest thing in torghast is spending time empowered
farming rares why, what we get from them?
would sub be better for fast clears or should i just go outlaw for that? think sin is good for "Speed" runs?
@craggy oak Rep with the new dude
wait so doomblade or the new obediance?
so just keep doom on my hand then >?
yeah thats fine tbh
unless yo uget new hands i guess
then make it on cloak if you really want to but you dont have to
tyty
follow up question, waht we get from the new dude
new dude?
the new guy in the maw?
whatever this is referring to
The archivist
The new factions, deaths advance and the arcs
with tiers of research as rep
ye what we get from rep with him
sockets, 239 domination piece
They have not fixed it so maybe for sub it will be
silly for sure
i just want fun things
do the sylvanas daggers stacks increase chance too or just damage?
!guide
obedience is such a boring legendary
versatility is a boring stat
i'm not saying it isn't good
it's just boring and uninspiring
i mean it feels better then any other leggo we have
crit = see bigger numbers sometimes! haste just gives better "feel", especially to casters, mastery is kind of a mixed bag depending on spec, but it's interesting
vers is just meh but too good to ignore
i dunno, i like legendaries that change things more
i guess the CDR on it is nice
but things having an impact on rotation is neat to me, i don't like things that are just passively good
yeah because any of our leggos "change:" things
there's a few that have rotational impact, but they aren't good
so they aren't used
actually now that i look, it's really just tiny toxic blade
yeah i caught myself on that one
Sorry I’ve asked this before but lost it! When do I flag on my opener?
right before you're gonna burst a bunch of cp
Before rupture
Mut - SnD - Mut - Garrote - ven - flag - rupture ( i believe )
i might be playing it wrong but sometimes i insert a mut after the garrote depending onw here i am on CP
but yeah, then flag > rupture > mut to env
Depends if you are DS or Vigor
And if you get a 2CP mut you're the unluckiest man alive
😭
i am very unlucky
but my crit is garbage right now, just like 25%
never really got to optimize last tier since i quit so early
@final star i can guarantee 2 cp muts though: i just have to be in a shiv window
yo i havent been here for a while boys is venthyr still viable or do i have to change to necro for assa/outlaw
If i wanna go back to venth at mythic release (its at 40 renown and quest is completed) how long will it take for me to get 40-48? I assume the improved catchup system works till 40 only.
if you are playing sin/outlaw its recommended to go necro (For just sin or sub, venth is GREAT as well as if you play both ). Otherwise you are fine if you arent worried about the difference
cut to the chase has a new symbol i think
if you've been doing 19-20+, your current ilvl
!bis
#SimYoSelf
So I have to rejoin venthyr at some point, but I forgot how it goes when rejoining. I know theres a quest this week, and then next week where I have t ofill the meter. What Im unsure of is, if I take the first quest this week, and I gonna be without covenant, or do you not lose your current covenant until the 2. quest?
awesome, thanks!
thats fine
yep, covenant change happens as soon as you hand in the 2nd quest without a warning prompt box
okay, so I can start filling the bar without being afraid, thats nice to know
Question lads: I'm 40 renown venth, 31 renown necro. I've prepped the quest to switch back to venthyr from necro, but should I just go back to venthyr now and catchup with necro later on? Planning to play assa/outlaw, but if I need venthyr at 48 asap to get the new lego recipe, idk what the best route forward is
just feels bad to stay necro with how extremely strong obedience seems
yeah, m+ gearing will be the name of the game so makes sense to be necro for the time being
but
i mean you're grasping at straws here in the end, it's not a huge difference
obedience isnt to far behind it
just hope renown catchup isn't too aids from 40 onwards
i'm probably staying venthyr despite going outlaw for M+
everything besides NF
I recently changed from venthyr to necro, because I liked the playstyle with sbs, especially not being that much behind in ST, now with obedience that strong I really dont know what to do... any other necros here with the same struggle?
exactly @odd hazel
2-5% is a ton
your gameplay and comp are PERFECT now? because it's probably safe to say that most players have more than a 10% swing just on misclicks and imperfect rotations
Im racing to make my mom proud though 
^that
your gameplay
will reward you more then any cov will
if you suck at your rotation/etc
magically being venth will not fix that
sims are a good benchmark/rough idea but don't live your life by them
I mean I have 97 average mythic logs this season without a single PI. So I must press some correct buttons
like sub will probably sim higher than assassination early this tier (it is now)
but sub gets punished a lot more for boss downtime for mechanics/etc.
tbh its just nice knowing all 3 are doing well
if you go by sims, you'd be sub, but it's not optimal for every fight
100% agree krey
i want to paly sin/sub so i'll prob play sin prog and gradually go towards sub when its on farm.
unless it gets nuked
then i can just stay sin
heroic patch gonna be interesting
wouldnt it be funny if
outlaw just gets NUKED
for no reason
and they buff obedience
outlaw can now only roll grand melee
@odd hazel i'm too min/max-y in my brain to not go outlaw for most weeks in m+, depending on comp
when i run with a mage and boomie i just stay on single target though
i just dont enjoy outlaw, i know its better but with the nerf of the necro leggo. its a meh difference
I personally see better results with sin than Outlaw because I'm much more comfortable with it.
I consistently do 8k+ in a dungeon, depending on which dungeon it is of course.
i think im just better at managing the Bleeds then rapidly pressing buttons
i kinda like outlaw now and then, but it's like windwalker to me: it's fun for a dungeon or two then it gets too repetitive
But the comfort of your spec goes a long way
hey cev
Sup
curious question about torgh
@limber lion i had to finish KSM last week since i quit so early and i was barely pulling 5k with assassination so good job heh
we also were pulling cautiously so as not to f the keys
do you think sin will do well enough to grab a perfect clear of torgh once we have the whole tree unlocked?
Definitely
trying to keep the empowerment up by my self is oof.
Sin is already really good for speed-clearing and killing the bosses there
Once we slap a few talents on top, it'll be a swift run
Gotta kill more stuff nowadays
A few talents and some gear
i do like theres a upgrade that gives it 25% longer
i'm kinda sad a tthe torghast changes, i hate torghast and the only thing that it had going for it was that i couldf skip most of it heh
But that's not a problem
222, i just need to stop pulling cautiously.
i mean
you can still skip
you just wont get the vault
do we only get two renown per week now or did i miss something?
if i get 2 renown on necro-bois and then switch to venthyr, will i be able to loot 2 renown somewhere as well?
No
well it depends
if your renown comes from the weekly activities (ie. collecting anima) then no, you can't repeat that
but if it's catch up stuff (like spamming dungeons) then yes
thanks! i guess there's no catch up stuff for renown 40+ yet
the way the catch up worked before (i switched way too many times) was that it would get you up to the previous weeks total
so i imagine catchup renown stops at 40 now and you can get this weeks to finish at 42 or 43 or whatever it is this week
there was a surprising amount of content today and an unsurprising lack of desire to do it from me
how long to complete the content today?
they gave us like 4 chapters of korthia or whatever it's called
each chapter felt like a normal campaign chapter
damn
so theoretically i'll be able to catch up next week to 42 and do next set of weeklies to be up to date with everyone else
PLUS i believe there was a covenant chapter today too but i didn't do it
what else the best way to farm renown ?
mythic dungeons, battlegrounds and lfr all seemed to have good drop rates before
heroic dungeons were obviously faster but the drop rate seemed a LOT lower
@echo crystal i like to imagine you keep that in your clipboard 24/7 for the off chance that it comes up
you would be 100% correct, just waiting to be useful!
thank you for letting me keep that illusion in my head 🙂
Hey least you won’t be playing double catchup the 6th when you cov swap to a level 40 cov

Don’t know how I am gonna catchup but fuck it
Mythic 0 is ok to farm renown ?
yeah but you might as well do 14+s
might still get a decent 226 next week
fill up that great vault
cool. then 252 on weekly chest
will next weeks chest be on the new values? i thought not
Ya
oh damn so def need to do some dungos this week
No you don't get season2 ilevel loot from vault by doing season 1 dungeons
ok thank god, i really want to do the bare minimum this week
so no point to run M14+ thjis week for vault right ?
Coming back for 9.1 currently NF do I swap and what to
better after next week reset ?
offtopic Tazavesh is open today?
venthyr
epic
they got the best transmogs, so thats hype
Not on a panda 
I think that goes for most mogs 
deja vu is the perfect name for that question today 🙂
we have no further info on sylvanas dagger right?
I saw some websites telling that sub will hit harder than assassination for single target, why ppl say that? It seems not true to me
@austere gorge i guess unless you want 226 items for extra item level or something
sub and sin are always competing for top single target damage
on a true patchwerk, sub is usually ahead of sin
in the real world you can't tunnel the boss 100% of the time
and sub takes a much bigger penalty to downtime
sub looses a lot with less uptime
usually the people who think sub will be better when they're as close as they are right now are people who swear ONLY by sims
you can get 226 conduit upgrades from the random chests you find
just dont play mechanics
Ok I was just outdpsed by the new fotm rogue spec for m+ 
git gud
All they have to do is spam black powder apparently
... yeah?
Yeah welcome to sub m+
Sub getting nerf, Ob leggo getting nerf. Next week
Ok boomer
@final star no one said that assassination isn't penalized for downtime
but sub dps is essentially 0 during downtime
assassination is non zero
read the link.
Yes, we do slightly more damage while away from bosses as long as our DoTs still tick. But we also have to refresh them when we get back, which offsets the slightly higher damage we have during the downtime with slightly lower DPS as we get back. Both Outlaw and Sub immediately go back to dealing their full damage the moment they can get back into melee
You seem to have ignored this part then

no, you seem to be inferring that i'm saying that assassination isn't penalized when all i'm saying is that sub is penalized MORE
It's certainly not much bigger like you said
It is literally the ideal that because the dots are still ticking I'm losing less, which is literally half of the full idea
your dots may be ticking but you spend the next 4-6 globals recovering from downtime
do you all plan to go with the endurance or finesse conduit for nadja?
sub still has to re-apply snd and rupture as well
depending on the downtime, we might not even need to reapply snd
so we're ignoring builders for the sake of convenience to your argument?
and sub is using shadowstrike twice
per finisher, that's a wash
you also forget that SS is not equivalent to a mut
how about this: i'll say that "in my own experience, when I play sub, I lose more dps because of mechanics than i do as assassination and i have the logs to show it"
maybe i'm just bad at sub then
but my sub sim dps was quite a bit higher than my assassination sim dps for most of shadowlands yet assassination (post 9.0.5) was decimating my sub numbers
and my raid was NOT getting better at the fights
our kill times stayed garbage the whole time
Shadowstep>Garrote>SND>Mut>Mut>Rupture>Mut>Mut>Evas
I went from being the worst dps at the beginning of CN to being one of the top DPS in the guild. Some people won’t humble themselves and admit they suck. I just admitted i sucked and asked for help.
oh i'm only pointing that out so that it's clear it wasn't a variable
you may just be better at assassination
i knew what i was getting into with this guild, it's always hard to line up playing with friends and positive progression at my age
I mean you can just sim with movement. It's pretty clear sub losses more from downtime although people do blow it out of proportion sometimes lol
i'm 100% willing to admit that i was being hyperbolic and made it worse than it sounded, but it's definitely more than the 0.2% difference i'm seeing on the current sims between top sub and top assassination
er.. made it sound worse than it was
wow i said that backwards af
Shadowstep>No SD>Backstab>Backstab>Backstab>Bbbbaaaccckkkstaaabbb
also @kind quiver congrats on the improvement
was definitely... an experience, being in a guild that could never 2 phase shriekwing but somehow got 6/10
Thank you, I try to improve and listen to people better than me. I still got a long way to go. I’m still in the blue, sometimes purple parsing area. I want to be purple all the time this tier lol
Wasn’t sub towards the top of dps sims at start of 9.0 and ended up being one of the worst with no nerfs?
every single time i was convinced we weren't gonna be able to make a dps check, we'd finish the boss
@fervent rune assassination got buffed and i think people just liked assassination more
from what i could tell, sim-wise, they were pretty even and sub was even slightly ahead
Incorrect - one of the legendaries was bugged which is why it was at the top. Technically a “nerf” but yeah not really
which legendary was bugged?
Ahh gotcha
You’ll get there papi, always strive for improvement and you’ll get there 
I just remember switching to sub for the start of 9.0 and was outlaw within 3 weeks
Also akaari’s iirc
outlaw was p good for a lot of nath
hmmm wasn't there a new covenant chapter this week too?
yeah i'm seeing 9/10 but i don't have a breadcrumb
covenant is next week
wait, 10 was old wasn't it?
Trinket as well. Dang
and i played all weeks 
pls 😭
odd, i definitely finished the venthyr campaign but it says 9/10
No u didn't then
oh i definitely did the scenario, only done it once: on this character
sounds like a problem for after sleep me, later all
So if i were to craft one legendary for overall content, would it be Zoldyck or Dashing Scoundrel?
you can do chapter 10?
does torghast drop rrenown too ?
@shy quartz zoldyck
Holy’ up chief. Couple questions. Are you venthyr?
Sorry, yes!
B. For ST preference is usually Doomblade not dashing
Then obedience also on the table
Yeah obedience seems best overall, but we cant get that
Well you can infinite spam for dust 😛
My rogue has no legendary rn, so i need one 😛
Based on the discussions yday, are we still in panic mode about obedience nerf?
So no point in “saving”
Yeah defo make a zoldyck then
No, if you don’t think it’s OP, you’ve nothing to worry about
were u guys able to send soul ash from alts?
nope, think you need 45 ren or so
Also that’s a very loose term for discussion 😛
ah damn
discussion, throwing poop at each other, argument, complete state of panic, a lot of terms could define it 
There we go 
I personally prefer fiesta, but that works
@limber lion how is make open on ataak boss.and 5 enemies
Looking at the chat during work with the fiesta was very entertaining
crit > haste > vers > mastery ?
Swap the first two for ST
For aoe Crit > Mastery > Haste > vers iirc
k
As a general rule, stat prios shift, sim yourself, blah blah blah
You all know the vibes
Yes
lol
With obedience, think there is gonna be safe stays for both sub and sin or just gonna be better off making 2?
legendarys for single target are doomblade and obedience when that becomes available right?
Yes
Crit’s good for both. You could possibly go like crit vers? I really don’t know actually
Correct
If you want obe for both specs you go crit vers
@spice spire yeah it's what I'm thinking, I don't think the one piece with no haste should hurt too much and hopefully scale with how obedient works itself
@hollow river cool I thought so
When using flag on sin haste loses value a tiny bit
what happened with obedience?
So you’re fine
Nothing?
Yeah I had that when swimming middle of 9.0.5, even though crit was my highest stat still said was my best
Simming, on phone sorry
Same dude, same.
O.o
All good chief, crit does move up a peg if you’re venthyr as we learned later on. So it very well could have been top stat!
!guide
do we stil make doomblade on cloak?
should we wait to renown 40 before starting the chains of domination campaign?
yea
uff...the conduit with shield - is buggy? what should i do with a shield when i go invisible? the shield i need when i go into fight?!
Don't think it matters. I started before 40 and managed to get 42 by the end of the day. Maybe make sure to finish the weekly renown quests for when you hit 40
is venthyr still the pick for sin? Just wondering if I should save up my anima for a potential switch
i started at 34 and now im maxed renown
hello guys why is shadowgrasp totem on top 2 on bloodmallet
Because iqd got nerfed and totem scales with haste and one other secondary stat.
Also not all the trinkets are implemented yet. The new ones are still to come.
m i late ?
Kyrian
Forgelite Prime Mikanikos
Fixed an issue where Bron's Call to Action Bron's Call to Action was unintentionally stacking too quickly.
what command do we add to sims for execute?
hey guys I just crafted doomblade on my cloak and never got a socket
wasnt i supposed too?
No
Only specific slots get the socket
I think blizzard specified what slots receive sockets
Only gear that CAN be socketed will create sockets on the leggos
Helm neck bracers belt rings
are we only able to get to 42 this week?
Correct
sad, thought it was 3
Dont stress! Enjoy the moment! 😄
Next week it appears the covenant quest continues, which I think rewards renown. So next week we get 3.
just weird they took away the one from souls
Yeah not sure I understand that. Guess they just wanted different pacing of progression.
Granted, I’d rather get one from the boatloads of anima you accrue in Korthia than from gathering souls, given the choice
if i did the campaign last night and got renown if i switch to venthyr now i miss out right?
if i plan on doin outlaw m+ and assasination raid is necro still best ?
Yeah, but you should be able to get that 1 from a random drop for doing other stuff
Yep
did the lego slot to change to cloak or was i stupid
Yeah, because of the domination sockets. But you don’t have. To rush to craft it until you get a domination socketed item in that slot
how far are we able to go into the korthia questline?
Chapter 3
Congrats you beat the patch until raid drops 

back to m+ 
all i need is valor tbh
yeah--- sounds like the plan, go ahead and cap out valor again and GG
!Guides
You can get mats or gold too
And that’s fair
Gotta push keys so you can get a Deece one next week 
tfw sims tell me to run sin on Kyrian /w doomblade 🙃
whoa, cloaked in shadows conduit feels really bad now in open world use
Something about i should make my Doomblade legy on cloak=?
^
Have you not run torghast in a while?
is obedience simming correctly on Top Gear? I can't even find it listing in the simmed loadouts:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vReNTM31n7G2rfs59kPoZp
you cant get it yet
I know i can't get it yet... but I assume I can sim it.
works for me
Feels so much nicer, it has for a bit. BUT I cannot speak for new torghast yet
Might be because you’re Kyrian?
And obedience is a venthyr only
Not 100% though
if i sim the soulbinds it doesn't assume I'm that covenant when simming?
maybe not for the leggos... huh
I’d think so? Because there’s no logical world where you’re mikanikos running obedience
it looks like I'll have to change the covenant line in my simc input and just run two sets of sims
Yeah, unlucky 😦
can this trinket work as a bleed for doomblade ?
Oh yeah i see
That'd be cool if it does, but I'm not sure how you'd test it.
envenom something with the bleed and without the bleed and compare the damage
changing the covenant line to venthyr didn't do anything in my sims btw 
I'll figure it out later 🤷♀️
i tested this in raid testing at 239 ilv
is it renown 42 or 43 this week
it was shit actually no lie
LOL rip
like 1.8% damage
43
is renown 48 next week
45 iirc
any idea how many weeks till 48?
yeah the bleed trinket is worthless
mythic week
Ye
yeah i was worried abt it too
42 or 43?..whut?.
but literally everyone reassure me we can
Just go to Top Gear and pick venthyr and “unlock all soulbinds” and make sure you pick your soul binds and conduits.
week 2 of mythic
42 this week, 44 next week from weeklies, then campaign to 45, 47 mythic morning, then campaign to 48
nah banned everyone says it works like this^
god i hope so
would be so troll if it worked like that tho where u didn't get cov till 2nd week
think abt all the op classes that'd be shit like boomy lol
Apparently it’s 43 this week? Either that or guide is scuffed
yeah the guide says 43 but we are only 42 
On live that doesn’t seem to be the case.
maybe we are going to get a renown form the next biweekly quest?
or maybe we are going to get a daily today 
Excellent - do love scuffed guides 🙂
Which quests are the biweekly ones?
No idea
Assaults, right?
Ah ic ic
Maybe they’re doing a weird one that goes 42 - 45 - 48? Then two per? That’s sort of what they did in 9.0
The convenat assault giving another renown is a solid idea. I wouldnt be surprised if thats the case
Just backwards 
any idea what stats to craft on doomblade
More than likely it’s just going to be crit+haste
hey guys i got a question, i just tried to keybind CTRL + Q on a Key (like i had that be4) and WoW wont let me anymore does anyone know what the reason is for that?
like the Game wont recognize the Keybind Combination CTRL + Q it will let me use CTRL + R or any other but wont work on CTRL + Q
weird i use ctrol + q and it works
do you have an external program like NVIDIA Geforce, or OBS, or Overwolf or something using that key bind?
Yes. Why are you opening with ambush anyway?

Big fan
That's a summer deal
Guys 80% of my addons are out of date and when i update them its still not fixed, any clue? D:
i noticed we barely got any changes
Depends on the addons
Hmm, if you updated them like you said but they're showing that then they're either not fixed to work with 9.1 yet or the author hasn't released a 9.1 version yet
I think I’m gonna hold off on sub, wait a week or two to see how they are
Pool gear for it then Gg
!soulbinds
Hmm
Anyone have suggestions for the 2nd potency conduit we unlock for m+?
can some1 explain or link me to a think about what
Guessing the fan one but just want confirmation
domination sockets are
is this a bug or they just updated m+ system?
since i still got from season 1
it should say 1895 rio for me
Yep, so everyone is at 0 next week (assumed)
it also counts 33% of the value of the keys you timed on fortified/tyrannical depending on what your highest key is
aight so I guess they gonna save this new system as RIO score for season 1
so people dont get confused with the new system
when they look back at season 1 on the website
Yep, on the armory it shows the blizzard score now. So I guess it’s to help groups in season 2 see how people performed in season 1
guys i got a question, theres these new "corruptions" or whatever. The things u can insert in ur cape that u obtain in Sanctum
id like to craft myself the Venthyr Legendary. should i go for cape or helmet then?
i mean will it be possible to insert those into a legendary cape ?
Corruptions? There's no domination sockets on cloak if that's what you mean
If I already have a doomblade shoulders, should I make the cloak? heard that was the best slot
Shoulders gets domination socket?
yes
Ait, cheers!
Can someone explain why that is? Cloak having no slot, being BiS. Wouldn't you want a leggo with a socket? Perhaps ive missed something
i think the shoulders are actually also off last 2 bosses
you cant put a dom socket on a legendary
you have these off KT
Also doesn’t matter what ilvl the piece is, the socket will always have the same stats
Did blizzard increase the amount of soul ash we can get now?
yes
is it next week they let us play season 2 m+?
Is it already in or have we gotta wait till week 2?
its in right now
Does the legendary need to be max rank to be upgraded further?
Yes it’s about 970 for a layer 9 run and it’s infinitely farmable
Sweet. Haven’t made doomblade yet as I thought we could send soul ash to Alts in week 1
July 6
thats what i mean. Why is the cloak BiS with no socket as opposed to one that can
Yep we can get our doomblade on cloak to rank 4 in a little over an hour
You can't put a domination socket on a legendary
Because Astrak sockets and domination sockets are two different things
Morning boys
Legendaries can have a socket in the right slot, but they can never have a domination socket


im about to sleep soon 
There are no domination sockets on cloaks
I feel like the same thing has just been said 3 times
It’s 8 am
It’s 11am here
Where can i send my soul ashe ?
to an other char
what looks to be better? doomblade or venthyr?
Right now obedience
It’s the dude inside torghast
guys do you get 2x renown now each level of the campaign? or its for low levels only plizz tell me
The one you get the quest for the box
The cap is 42 this week, one from the weekly quest in korthia to fill the bar, and one from the 1000 anima weekly
Anything else is catchup
can we open GV already?
If it’s back, you can
that's what I was asking lol 😄
when we say "right now, obediance", at what point will we have a more concrete idea? next week?
When it's actually available to test, probably.
I meant catchup renown I am renown 16 and i get 2x renown per chapter is it permament?
or it will go down to 1 ?
I don't know that the catchup mechanics have been that thoroughly tested yet, but it seems to be significant enough to just not worry about min/maxing it
Who knows
Idk how the slowing works anymore
Blizzard seems to have about tripled renown gains
im not 100% sure but i was def still getting 2 per chapter below 30 renown
thanks ❤️
np, im doing another chapter now above 30 so ill report back
Servers back up?
They didn’t go down did they?
They were down for me like 30 minutes ago

Maintenance for an hour
Bold of you to think I’ll get a dagger that’s 226 before the end of 9.1
is condensed anima sphere any good? seems bad
But also more for the key to set up ngl
It’s trash
Ye
yeh cant see how it could be better than recuperator
whats the best endurance?
they fixed the fall damage bug fark me
Was there a bug? Because I was taking stupid damage from jumping around, lol
So as necrolord i still want to craft doomblade if i dont have a leggo right?
bcs it doesnt even matter in hc content 
Cus else they'll nerf it for mythic week 
wait.. u re right
we stealthing into mythic week lol
so i dont think you can get it by mythic week
since were just getting 2 renown a week
confirmed?
We get 3 renown the following 2 weeks so yes u can
i was just expecting 3 this week and it ended up being 2
so ill be glad to hear we get 3 going forward
korthia weekly, 1000 anima weekly, and campaign quest at 44 renown
I'm staying necro tho
revert deathspike nerf 
i swapped venth but i have both necro and kyrian at 40 if needed
Revert to monke
On Eye of the Jailer, do you guys think that if shadowstep takes you to the center of the boss we'll be able to jump over the spinning beam by shadowstepping?
just shadowstep to a player
Maybe. Door of shadows and cloak work
yes @half tartan i did it many times on ptr
Is there like a guide on what to upgrade in box of many things?
Min max torghast?
You’ll end up upgrading them all anyway just pick what looks fun to you
Ty
Currently necro and want to push CE this tier. I don’t really care about m+ too much just getting 15s done for loot. Should I switch to venth? Or is it not that far ahead
yes
I’d get the quest ready for turn in
Worst case scenario you wasted some time farming
if you get it ready for turn in, will it disappear on weekly reset?
swapping this week to venth would be ideal, renown catchup is pretty nuts in 9.1
ah ok thats good
getting quest ready to turn in and suddenly pre-mythic tuning kicks in an NF will be the best covenant 
This
Fucking sepsis
Would fit my MO of being Uber toxic
And we are waiting for the covenant legendary to craft correct?
This tracks
You’re just RPing as your class papi 
What if we log in next week and all 4 covenants are actually damage losses and we have to remake neutral characters

yea, doomblade is good too
since you can farm an infinite amount of soul ash
Huge 
I’d come to your house and eat all your hichew for putting this evil on me
One way to stop worrying about covenants
Is to simply ascend past their use
Reject covenants
Farm herbs in panda land
That’d be interesting to do, just go completely covenantless
An entire raid with absolutely no covenants
I want to be and obedient boi so I farm hard
Hahah, good point
would crimson tempest be better for single target with doomblade?
Mawsworn Covenant coming
how much of you guys left necro for venthyr already ?
Basically a wash but you keep it up outside of shiv
helya soulbind
Obedience doesnt look that op
I would totally join that covenant if there were a mawsworn
And Megan Fox wasn’t hot in transformers
The difference between the 1st and the 2nd sim is not that high
Megan fox covenant 
plz no, Helya one of the most annoying badguys ever
B O N Q U E
You mean you weren’t crush Koji?
Good boss though
I barely remember what happened during that boss fight
Did she lose her patience with you?
Constantly
so we're still changing doomblade leggo to cloak spot aye?
u can get shoulders from kel'thuzard
Indeed
well, figured I might aswell change as soon as I can
so it helps
I feel like a lot of the bosses have patience issues
Save your resources
How many classes became venthyr this tier?
I wouldn't do the leggo crafting this week, prices seem inflated with people recrafting so much
I mean, if it makes you feel better you might aswell craft it right away. not like there are any precious resources involved
Really no reason to atm
Warrior
Boomkin
some druids ?
Time isn’t precious to you?
The true story of warcraft is patience and forgiveness 
Patience for a new patch
Maybe venthyr is the new nightfae
Forgiveness that it’s bad
No
The true patch are the friends you made along the way
Thats kyrian
Mika is balanced 

didn't they fix bron?
Wrong
Outlaw rogue in shambles
Bout time
It's not about the World, it's about the War you Craft along the way
Bron seemed like a hot fix for certain shit
Truly unlucky that we can’t enjoy such a balanced covenant 
I do have enough soulash anyways, aside from multiple chars that can just run through torghast fast. same for many others. aside from that he has to set the value of his own time for himself tho 😄
More classes are kyrian than venthyr?
arcane mages
just take a look there
We all going bback to venthyr now! LETS START A REVELUTION
Rogues are Venthyr and Necrolord and that's all that matters here.

majority is kyrian and fae
DK needs to spread more anti-Kyrian propaganda
I feel like I have to restrain myself from making a sarcastic remark about this comment. 🤣
just let it all out
Hotfix/nerf whatever
Don't worry, Bron will get another 2-3 hotfixes. It's a daily 9.1 tradition at this point.
Perhaps
But i think every arcane missile counting towards the spell count is a bit of a kekw tho
Also unholy dk mastery working on him

Bron without these weird quirks seems fair, the part about mikanikos that is weird is soulglow spectrometer
didnt the guy have a cd tho so it doesnt get overly stupid?
well arcane mage wouldnt care too much about mika nerfs to be fair. they still would have pelagos pretty close, unlike others iirc 😄
iirc the cd is the duration now 😄
yo, with shards of domination its worth having 1 piece thats zoldyck and not having 5 pieces of domination?
and you get stacks again after it ends or something
Soulglow Spectrometer should just get the treatment the pelagos capstone got in beta
Where instead of giving versatility it gave magic resist
Sub always dead

Push playing the game
You mean where they fucked up the coding and for like 4 months it increased the amount of magic damage you take instead of reducing it? 
They changed it to magic resist because every single class was going kyrian
Yep vers buff
Was broken
And then they fucked it up 
High quality QA from blizzard this expac. Mucho impressed
👌
crit/haste still the go on moving doomblade to back?
Probably yeah, you can sim it in top gear to make sure though
will do ty
doomblade or obedience tho..
obedience
however you can't craft until renown 48 I believe
so if you're pushing content early you may just want to craft another doomblade.. I personally may wait
inb4 pins
Can't learn Obedience until 48
Was sl beta
you're not going to be able to for a month is why
had no idea it was changing
Tbh I’ll only recraft if I get a decent pair of shoulders
also isnt Obedience only better if youre venthyr?
oops just noticed that. sorry coming back still figuring it all out
Oh my apologies then
currently necrolord swapped from outlaw to assn for raid. debating the switch
Yes though, it’s the reason sub is doing super good right now basically@
With obedience sin top ST and very close To necro on M+ with it
sin is top ST any way with doom
Are the pins still up to date or are we waiting on more sims?
and going venthyr gets me out of that crap necrolord leather set haha
That shit is mad ugly
They are up to date with what we have
so with obedience do you still use ma or zold for M+
Obedience is the leggo, you can’t use another
yeah i get that but i know some people swap them out
Anyone know why i cant see the cov venthyr trainer in oribos?
questline stopped at a point where npc disappear
end your quest
they'll come back
What gear slot will obedience be crafted on?
Cloak
Back I think
Ty
Man if only Zold could be crafted on back then it’d make it so easy to swap between ST and M+
I’m still necro so for now it’d be doom and zold. Considering the swap to venth as I have no interest in outlaw
dp bug is a ~150 dps loss from what i saw
DP bug?
what's dp fuu
double pen i mean deadly poison
deathly poison
somone found out that deathly poison doesen't proc on everything expected so koji did investigate
and thats now in simc
So should we be theoretically assuming 150+ on every sin sim?
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
i stated updating my spreadsheet today (its still incomplete tho)
So zold is still better ?
Any way kevins oozeling buff is op for sin?
if im gonna go Sin in m+ and PVE and im CE player would u just go Venthyr? @balmy condor
only deathly poison or instant poison on sub aswell?
its only deathly poison, no other poison
whats bugged about it ?
i'm in front of Draven with second quest done, should i go venthyr ?
yeh probably
it's not applying from a bunch of stuff
I have to resim everything anyway now that all the soulbinds are in
well except korayn
but who cares about korayn
ty for your service
I used to love him man
night fae is rly in the gutter
Night fae down cataclysmic
2
Oh
kyrian and venthyr :p
Necro is dead?
I guess there's no point to holding off switching to venth anymore if I'm thinking sin + sub for all PVE huh
necro is still suprisingly good
Wait
its just that venthyr is atm due to obedieience a very dominant choice
Wtf happened with obedience??
Did they fix the versatility?
What changed since initial ptr
the vers persists now

Sick
that's all pure ST though, and i gather raid has quite a bit of adds?
man i swear i've heard both "raid is full st" and "raid is full adds" 15 times each
@dry copper
Not that much actually
and it's also relevant in Dungeon Slice
so why not
^^^
I mean, raid is not "full ST" but most multi-target situations can and will be handled by other specs way more efficiently anyways
the sim didn't give full duration on versa. once fixed it became a 10% dps increase legendary and hence the dominant choice for sub/sin
and we already have a good 2-target with venthyr
Shit
@balmy condor remember when I said obedience would be sick
And u said “nah it’s bad”

its rly good, we hope it remains this way but cant be sure
"we"? 👀
if they change it its idealy just to the number it was before and would mean its a good but not the ultimative best choice
🔮 <- they know
Maybe they nerf it after w1st race uses it kekw
oh of course
i didn't say that, and i also swap to outlaw for bosses that are closer to dslice anyway
its always like this, every patch comes with some bugs/unexpectedly good/bad items and you don't know what will end up strong
Massive cd???
i don't like the idea of a covenant legendary being ultimative best choice personally
