so yea
Like wiping burn phase for eye (I don’t suspect this will happen) you would want Zold
you still may get more value from zold
Ok
The problem with zold is until you start reaching that point in fights, it's a dead leggo
In general doom blade will be really strong if you aren’t super undergeared as a guild (ie top 100 prog)
Ye true that beach
and even then the last 30% is often fraught with Single target and lust
where doomblade gains MORE value
yeah then it becomes a factor of how long do you stay in that execute burn
if you can pump a shitton of full bleed envenoms into something, doom is still prob stronger
It was big for sire because adds got value from it +P3 was the hardest part and it was basically all Zold range
So there's an item that bumps up your conduits to 226? Is that for all conduits, random ones, or specific ones?
Same as prior
SO random
fuck
Ok
Not to 226, just 1 rank up
I thought you could boost them all to 226 THEN you could only get 1 rank at a time
Good news is, you can "farm" them
Guess not
So basicly just need to see how 9.1 mythic willl require burning....
that would make more sense
Can we? Do the new item levels drop from m+ this week?
but this is blizzard we're talking about @alpine latch
lol right?
Somebody said Zold for prog earlier so that’s probably why the question comes up 
Zolds seems behind. If you are trying to make an argument for it, the fights aren't really demanding that damage profile
Often times more overall damage is just better than execute damage
Zold's only useful in prog if you're missing a DPS check boss
and need more execute damage
especially if you have SPriest and DPS warriors
Well in 9.0 we got to sludgemythic and dmg wasnt rly an issue ever....
yeah exactly
Ppl just failing on chains n shit
Back for doom and leg for zold... and prioring doom for now inguess
Thx all :)!

If you are venthyr ? You dont ask the question, the choice is obedience right ?
correct
sub or assass for prog?
assa
ill stick to assass then
how long does it take to farm 40 if we swapped now?
world boss is dropping 3 renown
if you're sub 40
Sub >= Sin > Outlaw
so super quick
few days
Made this gear slot breakdown for looking at early gearing strategies and what slots you'll be saving for stuff. Purple represents higher ilvl from kel'thuzzad / Sylvannas while red are boe's to go for early.
so venthyr is optimal for sub/assa? is it a throw to play necro assa/sub, or just minimal?
Necro sub is not great
^
is swapping back still 2 weeks time-gated?
I just swapped back from necro to venthyr and I fucking hate it
oh shit? really?
ngl me too
whats the feel with venthry?
@gusty mirage can u farm the world boss repeatedly
no just once per week
Kk ty
thats so sick

really liking sbs too 🙂
Yeah honestly I've been everything, and venthyr in m+ felt so god awful that I'm fine with taking a slight single target hit to have SBS
sbs doesn't feel super good in pvp though
I’m venthyr for prog and then straight back to necro
fack that oz, staying necro until heroic week tuning happens lol
yeah just switched to ventr and m+ feels so much worse
Only matters if you care about pvp
Me too, but losing sbs feels like giving up a kidney
and the shield was cool also 😦
fleshcraft is at least useful, door feels like a wasted ability
that's because door sucks
it doesn't feel like a wasted ability it's just bad
lmao
meaning its wasted because i dont use it lol
so your feelings are 100% reflective of reality
yeah I don't blame you
1s cast to move 40 yards on a class that has a caked in movement speed increase 
If it was instant...
yeah instant & i would change my tune in a heart beat
Its a little bit further mage blink with a long cast time lul
like it has some cute niche uses
instant would be busted
but like bruh
there was a soulbind ability in beta that made it instant iirc
and that was quickly changed lol
yeah it was
Would it be ? Night fae have like instant blinks
defo not 40yards tho
do you think obidience will get nerfed like kyrian in 9.0?
their blink also still goes through effects
But they have 4. We get 1 then
an instant teleport is diff than an instant blink
50/50 shot. It either will or it won’t
Anything is possible youngling. Welcome to Blizzard, they will have their fun rader out lol.
hope we wil get rewarded for being obedient vent bois
Said this in sub, a covenant specific legendary that is bis in dslice and st for all 3 specs is bound to be nerfed most likely
But you never know, maybe we get lucky
i kinda dont understand why the convent legendaries arent bis
whats the point of making them?
They said the same about Doomblade.
I’ve read this argument for four days straight
TRUE
I’d rather just not
Doomblade is assasin only tho
BIG TRUE
Obedience is 3 specs
never
Quake, the party never ends 😉
At this rate, it'll be 10.0 and people will still be speculating an obedience nerf

I'm emotionally ill
you too?
hmm would you run a heavier vers build with obedience?
Always have been
But in all seriousness. It doesn’t matter, if it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t it doesn’t
U would sim it @copper sundial
It does matter to me
Why let me play fucking vampire to be relevant while I actually just want to be a stinky boy
Of they nerf obedience I’m gonna be super pissed
a stinky boy
That’s actually not a bad question. I wouldn’t think so. An influx of vers every minute and a half would work like the haste where you’ll eventually get some DR and other stats jump.
But it should be a sim question/answer
Ecks dee
Free transfer back for this reason tho
It’s a w in the end regardless
^
Yea at least there’s that
Either you get a busted covenant, or you can swap back like nothing happened
How does that work if you already have the first quest to swap?
honestly if you're 40 on both its not a big deal changing over
Yeah I’m not sure Zaey
Cause i already turned in first weeks
oh then I'd just do the quest and bank the freebie
Ye
Just gotta wait til Tuesday to be vampire boi again
I’m gonna do the quest and bank the freeb for a potential swap back
Same thinking I'm leaving necro to go venth right now then bank freebie
Yeah that’s my plan
whats this freebie u are talking about?
I think that’s the play. And venthyr isn’t bad at all. Flag is a super good ability. Door of shadows vs fleshcraft is just unlucky
But it’s still not horrendous
It just feels suboptimal when you are used to playing necro
But ye it’s fine I guess for the time being
sbs is just a super cool ability
Looking forward to playing it with obedience. Gonna be sweeet burst windows
i played with it a lot on the ptr, with obedience it feels like a combustion. you destroy everything for 15 secs
Yeah not bad at all. I gotta say after raiding last night I did like the gemstone window gameplay from necro
even as an outlaw it feels like a big cd
So obedience feels like a combustion? Despite the fact that Idk what combustion feels like, seems interesting enough
Yeah Haventf felt it but I would guess it must feel like that
Not quite
Burst wise, probably
Mechanics wise, bit less 😛
Nah, combustion has you frantically trying to get as much casts in a single window, so not really the same
combined with AR and BS roll, its like you are on steroids
Oh, whereas with our haste we’re fine in that 15 second window
can u go above 100% haste? i had 99% with the cube
Combustion is a dance, Obedience Flag is a dance but you are break dancing with a dagger in both hands, one in the mouth, and your buttcheeks holding another on some roronoa zoro type shit
You can. Unsure how you could now. But in 8.3, I’d regularly go to 138 with galecaller’s
30% haste and 30% vers for 12-15 secs
when it lines up with Thrill from nadjia its like 50% haste and 30% vers
Wait, I’m sorry, 30% haste?
We dont do that rng crap here tho
And vers?
Okayyyyyy, yeah, now I see why its so much better than the others
I’d love to have 15% DR

Does it make you feel like a DH in bfa?
wdym that looks fine
When you stacked vers as hard as you could?
Humanzd, think about what it’d be like with hero?
If its flat 30% you’d go over 100%, and trust me, one you hit that point, there is no going back lol
Think I’ve only ever done that in torghast or something, but its still absolutely ridiculous
You know the torghast power where it gives adrenaline rush, vendetta and shadow blades?
Once you hit 100% haste with that, there is absolutely no way you’re gonna be able to spend too much energy
sry for very noob question, but I have googled but couldnt really find a good answer... I just got vent and renown 42 but on the vent campain ive only got 9/10 completed.
I think rogue might be my favorite class to play in torg
The new campaign part is availble next week isn’t itv
?
after playing my havoc and prot pala i can safely say that i despise rogue in torghast...
ok so its supposed to be 9/10 then ^^^just making sure so I dont have it bugged
those two pull everything and just mow down
and my brand new monk literally dances through torghast with 1 anima power
I haven’t played havoc in here
Fistweaving?
That, is scccccccccary
Hahahah, absolutely beautiful
my other char is boomy, rogue is dog shit for torghast :/
What does "No Sylv dagger" mean in the pin? Is it not simmed or is it not good?
rogue is literally the worst torghast class in my experience
Ah okay
It was added back to PTR literally last night
isnt mage pretty shit for torgast
Yea, but then you can atleast respec 😄
yeah i tried 4 classes and rogue is the worst for sure
Yes
arcane is great
^
for 9.1 thorgasts and doing 4+stars rogue doesnt feel good
rogue is "fine i'll do this if i have to", not saying that its hard @spice spire . saying that its not fun.
but being able to just stealth through content kill only bosses and get your soul ash in 5min is the best
rogue is one of the few classes in torghast that can't just steamroll
yeah
People genrally hated thorghast so they fixked it by making you full clear it 😄 fking sadists man
Can’t find the fun in there
well u dont need to for soulash
But for the so called box of many things???
I haven’t been able to play just yet, so I’m basically blind until the raid
trying to 4+ star a run is shit as a solo rogue but gotta say stealthing thru to last boss and just running at it over and over is pretty efficient soul ash farm
Not getting back till the 6th, so I’ll have exactly one day to prepare lol, well, maybe not
I keep seeing a 4 star reference, what the heck is a 4 star?
Box of many things is just a tree for torgast. It doesn't seem too OP.
Hmm, good to know
it def has some nice things on it, didnt look enough to say "OP or not"
You get graded now when you finish a run (how fast you were, how much of each floor you killed, etc.) and you need a 4star+ grade to unlock the next layer.
You’re kidding me…
😄
Not the next floor... Like you do all 5 floors and get graded at the end.
5 floors
Yea, they reduced it to 5
Oh, right, they changed it
the best fucking part lol
lol, true
feels like it really made a huge difference too
yeah 1 floor less that is the only cool thing 😄
wait so with the new returning to covenant change - can we swap back and forth now? or is it just moved from 1 week transfer from 2 weeks?
But still, to get to the next layer I have to get “4 stars”?
Yea, I personally didn't find it too hard once I managed to figure out what gives points
I shall have to figure it out then lol
I only got it on my 3rd try tho.
I’ll, try to watch that
Nah, you can transfer again cost-free. basically they reseted everything. so you can just swap one time for each
I also found a bug(?) that got me free score, Idk how much tho
I got 4 stars first try... 5 is hard tho
do we need 5 star to unlock layer 10?
do you gain anything for going 5?
why do peoplel ove dratnos here
can we swap twice in a week?
You only get more tower xp
in order for the vault you need a 5
Adamant Vaults unlock
The adamant vaults are just cosmetics tho, if I read that right
I definitely don’t love dratnos
you get sockets from them too
adamant vaults can drop the conduit upgrades/sockets
you can*
but you need it on the box right?
yes
you can't actually get there right now
At least they’re giving a reason to go for 5 star
5 star easy if you go sub
Oh, so you can infinitely grind adamant vaults for sockets and conduits?
That's dumb
not sure how big a chance to get them are though
Did any1 try getting 5stars in a group? Is it easier or harder?
It's not likely, prob you only will get the cosmetics ands new pets in most runs
how is venthyr assa in m+?
it does fine
Indeed
Can confirm is fine
It's easier to break all the jars, otherwise just be careful on dmg spikes, it looked a little bit easier
What is the sin bug that's referenced in the Drive doc?
i just feel kinda intimidated to farm up venthyr from 0 rn
Free week
My alt did 0 to 35 in 2 days.
Hey guys the new sims for venthyr are only for obedience at the top. How do the venthyr soulbinds rank when using doomblade instead of obedience?
Free?
Not much going on.
covenant quests give 2 renown when you fully complete them
Plenty of free time to farm
Dmg spikes? You mean incoming dmg?
If i do farm to 40, do i need to do sanctum unlocks or do those even matter?
so half the renown is done when doing the quests, then you can grind the last levels, im 36 and i switched yesterday
Still fairly ahead in ST but by not nearly as much.
Unsure about DSlice
Sanctum unlocks? You mean the table and teleport and stuff?
They are just convenience, you don't need them.
any use still playing necro assa? or just swap to venthyr for all content
Last floors and boss dmg is disgusting for some reason in groups... We went with a Shadow, and a Resto Shaman (Law rogue) and final boss just bonked my head and died, still killed it
i dont love dratnos, but he clearly and concisely broke down how the scoring works?
Ah, should probably get a tank then
i just keep seeing his name
people shouldnt take them serious tbh
people keep mentioning tier lists here and its cringe
wowhead is a much better source for the scores
Videos create a much easier experience for many people and dratnos makes a lot
who do you think writes the wowhead guides?
I don’t think it’s inherently bad
Thx for the answer, would be interesting to see, just in case obedience gets the hammer.
its just the tier lists THIS early is weird to follow like gold ¯_(ツ)_/¯
"feels lists"
I think it’s inherently bad to try to do everything at once and try to cookie cutter all information without a more precise source. It’s impossible to be 100% correct about every single thing in wow unless you just slog nonstop
Naguura came in one day and asked about the state of rogue. Cev answered, who i’d label a bit of a better source for rogue than naguura herself. But not everyone has time/can do that
i should clarify because im coming off a bit hostile, no, noone should take anything anyone says as pure unadulterated truth, you should always use your own brain to make intelligent decisions. with that said, dratnos is generally correct more often than not and is a good resource for wow related content
Last part sketch. But he’s more knowledgeable about many things in WoW than I. So I can definitely say that with confidence
But I think it’s good practice to take everything with a grain of salt 
Recently he came up about the raid tier lists
They were a bit fried ngl
^
Big true^ specially brand new stuff that nobody has actually played live yet
agreed
Sub bottom tier with outlaw ahead of sin was hella sketch alone
feels like more a feels list then anything
it was
Probably is
oof on those feels then being wrong
Frost doesn’t look bad next tier 
Idk number one good but definitely better than before 
People also though frost was cracked at the beginning of CN
And it got nerfed to hell 
I just remember a guildy telling me rogue won’t see play cause fury is so good

Cause a tier list said fury was the end all be all lmfao
I can’t see that ever happening
thats because it was lol, he was guessing
thats on your guildy not knowing any better lol
yeah he def said it was feely craft on old ptr data
shouldnt guess on unknown knowledge
We have 4 people trying to main rogue this tier
lol
im the only one! ALL THE DAGGERS!
I am luckily only fighting one other rogue
I think I’m the only one of my guild trying to raid rogue
im the only rogue on my raid team so feelsgood
They only want one of us for mythic 😦 I want both of us
My GM is a rogue 😎
imagine being able to swap covenants whenever
My guild doesn’t have enough raiders to be picky about taking 2 rogues
To be fair, I've played with Dratnos, and he's a gamer. He can pretty much play any class/spec at a relatively high level, and he's knowledgeable. Idk why people hate him other than the fact that he went from being an unkown mythic raider, to a caster and prominent youtube content creator.
Don’t think there’s been any hate here. You don’t routinely end on top 50 without being an absolute gamer
people hate dratnos because he made tier lists and max told them tier lists are bad
ALL HAIL MAX
Max is god tho 
No I told myself based on the rogue listing alone “this list is probably bad”
ALL HAIL MAX WHOEVER HE IS
PRAISE BE HIS BEARD
And it’s a bit deep fried
jealousy, lol
lol
max and dratnos are both good guys, tier lists are bad, but dratnos is a content creator so he made content, its very whatever
Doesn’t mean “DUDE IS SHIT HAS NO CREDENTIALS HE SUCKS” it just means, it’s a tier list and most are bad
Max is the raid leader of a world first guild. He looks at things from a completely different angle than most people. He doesn't even raid during the race to world first, because it's easier to shot call from a stream than it is to be in the game and overlook things. So certain classes/specs are better for specific mechanics to be able to make fights "easier" so they can cheese things and clear it faster.
Hey you beat me to it
Oh, that seems interesting
I'm shit and have no credentials though 


!pb
Deadly Poison doesn't apply on some casts like Garrote, Rupture, and Shiv.
It's a minor bug but "notable" in that it does have some noticeable impact on DPS.
Should be around a 100-200 dps loss
Neat!

Well cause tier lists are pure opinion. Only tier list I need is warcraftlogs weekly recap
Also, I'm pretty sure Max said pre-patch tier lists prior to tuning are bad, I don't think he thinks tier lists as a whole are bad, considering CL posts tier lists on their website, or used to.
I havent been to it in a while.
Now I don’t have to give an answer
Can be fried. Week one of CN feral topped 
Not top top, but like top 3
Feral 
Heh, used to main a feral, before it got dull and I switched to sin
with Sylvanas dagger we'll reach the top :pog:
I still play it everytime I can, went rogue this tier for a change
Surprisingly enough, feral helped a crap ton with learning sin, though, i had already started in BFA
I'm like a cat with a assassination backup every now and then :D
lol
Yeah, if there is one thing I miss
ITS THE RUN SPEED ER MA GERG ROGUE BE SLOW
Without its movement speed abilities that is
yeah I feel you
But I’ve grown accustomed to it
i mean, thje reason i dislike tier lists
is because people feel like you have to follow them
and tier lists with out knowledge
or jsut guessing
helps no one in term of actually accurately placing them
feral is fun
the energy is just so bad
well feral energy was never a drowning in type
maybe except late legion with dumb build
it just makes the class feel bad, not sure how it is now but. i felt like it was lacking something
Yeah, i hated having to pool energy, I could never get it down
i was able to get 4 as sin
not really trying though
it'll be easier once we get deeper into the tree
didn't enter thoghast yet, had to get some renown first
do i go with zoldyck or do i wait for the new leggy (new dinged rogue) so i havent crafted a leggy yet
Burst of Speed was my absolute favorite rogue ability
Are you going to Raid or do M+?
mostly raid!
Burst of speed?
Doomblade/obedience then
tyvm!
Anytime! 🙂
but should i wait or do the doom first
If you’re going venthyr, I’d probably still do both
Was this sick ability you could press over and over again for 70% move speed
Because a legendary is big
But if you’re not, obviously can’t do obedience so craft Doomblade and level it ASAP 
at the cost of energy, had 3 sec cd and 3 sec duration
I’ve been away, is obedience way ahead of doomblade now?
Currently
im venthyr so ill wait i guess
So is everyone switching from necro back to venth lol
Ehh depends on the content you plan to do
Man, i wish I was around for that
blizz added 1 "free" covo change i think
Pins for this but yeah venthyr pretty Deece
I was NF 🥲
Truly a loyal gamer, respect
thx thx
Lol i started NF, then went venth then went necro and now back to venth maybe
how realistic is it form obidience to get nerfed?
i need a reason to stay necro pls xd
50/50. It either will or it won’t 
i would say wait until WF race is over then they will prob fix shit
thx v helpful
you got the Fly with NL
No point in speculating because no one has any idea
yeah honestly seems like a decent call, im also outlawing for m+ so until it sucks immensely i wont change back i guess
Especially when arcane has a 24% legendary 
i hated flag for being a weird 1"30 cd not aligned with anything
Obedience flag seems alot less frustrating
fly 💗 ✨ 💘 💞
bat thing 😡🤢 😠
?
Wot
It lined with sire trinket 
Hold
New cove leggo?
truexd
and i dont think any covo will suck af, just like all of u said here its all about +-100 dps , but mostly the player behind the keyboard
wiLl oBeDiEnCe geT neRfeD HEY EXCUSE ME wiLl oBeDiEnCe geT neRfeD HEY EXCUSE ME wiLl oBeDiEnCe geT neRfeD HEY EXCUSE ME wiLl oBeDiEnCe geT neRfeD HEY EXCUSE ME wiLl oBeDiEnCe geT neRfeD HEY EXCUSE ME

You have the worlds worst covenant base
9.0.5 flag was an immense improvement in usability over 9.0 flag already
🙂
hey excuse me
Patience younglings
we need something to entertain us,, forgive us
MY GOD HAHAHAHA
nice ScAlinG
what the fuck is that hahahaha
@warped umbra yea I know but still SBS feels alot better to me than some unaligned burst - tho with Obedience I'll very likely enjoy venthyr
arcane mage legendary
Sir, that’s reserved for us sin rogues. Sorry, must be removed
Bro
Truly unlucky
Stop copying me
I don’t think thatbshould exist…
yeah i meant more like why is it a thing
jinx
Kekw

Speculating on nerfs is a moot point. It could be, or it couldn’t be is the point 
arcane mages on suicide watch after blizz sees this
Either way, bank the freeb if you’re that worried 🙂
Arcane mages relevant once in 2 expansions and immediately get sent back to the gutter. Unlucky
what website is that ?
Idk man, it’s just vibing rn
Bloodmallet
i'm stupid
Yeah. Which BM can also lead to some
moments but it’s pretty big regardless
I mean bloodmallet had like

A separate category lol

^ 2nd one
It's worth changing covenants right now or it's better to wait just in case for the few weeks?
It doesn’t really matter
I am NF and was wondering if chaning to venth/necro would be better.
Yes
NF is definitely one to swap off of right now
NF is the worst covenant lmfao
Even fuu left

And Fuu was the last bastion of loyalty 
Damn, my queens conservatory free gold maker 
True
You don’t have to lol.
Necro is less good but not int to run
fly >>>> all
Make an alt?
just wanna be 100% sure before i craft it, doomblade goes on back now, right?
Yessir
was wondering about the same thing
ty
yeah, waiting for now ^^ I love the spell too much
Any time, best of luck 
Which pots are considered the bis atm? Haven't raided in too long D:
Sbs very good, will be sad to leave it.
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
the cheapest one are allways the best @lost wharf
I agree which is why after prog I’m taking my happy ass back necro
word from a poor man
Agi or phantom fire are good 😊
If they make sense and are potions from this expansion
I personally prefer stones + agi
What is the "Sin bug" that's referenced on the Excel doc? I clearly missed something and can't find anything about it in the pins or through my search.
They are probably not bad
!pb

@alpine latch
I saw the pins but I am wondering... if I am playing only Assa for raiding/M+/PvP arenas (more focused on raiding) would Necro be the most optimal option?
the problem is that fly is the only thing cool on NL
Yessir
Okay, I knew about that
Venthyr rn
You are too quick for me quake
Fly and SBS
Venthyr
I like the cov set most!!
I'm probably going to roll Venthyr .. FML
If I had a nickel…
oh no 
Okay so... Vampires, here I come!
i will up NL just to get fly and switch venthyr i think x)
Uh
There ya go
I'm 2 weeks away from having all of my Necrolord mounts 😦
Ecks dee
Gg
Oof, so Imma research which herbs are the cheapest...
Will stay venthyr then
They're tanking in price next week
Damn, this discord is getting much nicer each patch. A few months ago I'd be spammed with "read the pins you imbecile!"
Why would they go down when a new raid releases and everybody wants them?
it sucks, I farmed 25 000 anima on NF to get the transmog I want to cry
Because flying opens up
Pins have changed a lot recently. It’s always best to but there’s a lot going on rn
Flying always tanks prices of herbs
Does the transmog go away too?
just gotta bring multiboxing back
Xd
I doubt that has instant effect when combined with a new raid.
yup
and herb prices 
Just bring WoD style herbs back!
Prolly like a week or two after it hits
Then the herbs will stabilize
Well, feel free to be wrong. I'm not stopping you. Historically it always goes down when flying is released, regardless of how close it is to raids opening.
^^^^
The only reason it might not go down is because less people are using TSM now to post and are using the new AH
Yeah, that's my main concern... for example - I didn't know that Obedience is so good for m+ and sims even higher than Necro right now!
I don't think flying was ever achieved exactly at the same time as a raid openend
Imma just stock up for next week tho. It'll probably be like Dekai says and it just drops after a week or two
Nah it will steadily go down
Yes, I didn't say it'll be permanent.
But it will go down, and stay lower than what it is now
The average WoW player isn't an AotC raider, let alone CE. They don't care about raids opening up. Flying is even easier to get now
I care 
I can’t wait to live in SoD
That place has stayed in my brain rent free since I ptr tested it
The demand for herbs on the opening week of raid will still be way higher than it is now
The average WoW player doesn't
He will try tho
what are you saying?
so like here's Anchor Weed when 8.2 (flying) launched. Prices exploded cause new raid even with flying
I’m not normal??
Yep that was a super recent change with optimization. But in general when things get confusing, always ask and just say I don’t understand “x” because answering the same question a hundred times generally leads to “check the pins” 😛
Lol
Whatever, you do you. If you have so much money you can have that many consumeables laying around the issues for values of herbs won't concern you regardless.
Yeah with new Raid, they’ll eventually drop. But not for a month probably
EVERYONE should be stocked up with consumables. 9.1 didn't introduce new consumables, not stocking up was a massive mistake if you didn't.
sin rogue on 9.1 m+ progression, yay or nay? (played affli warlock on 9.0)
^ specially why things were cheap af 3 weeks ago
It’s fine
it was mainly a fix in the sim
You won’t be bis but it’ll be fine
That’s why I bought 300 augments for 250 a pop
the versa buff duration was to low, once fixed the value of obedience was high enough to make it the top pick
great, thx
obedience is atm at the point that its the strongest choice for every content on sub/sin
I didn’t know that. Absolute gamer Theorycrafters really trying to help rogue kind.
Appreciate
We do love them
i didn't know that too, we just seemingly missed to update the implementation earlier
Nothing gets my willy going like new sims or a phat pin from whispyr
and when koji did update it we where like "oh, i thought it already did"
its good to have stuff working, it means sims are correct
even tho it barely matters given you can't craft covenant legendary items this week
i think there is a balance patch expected next week or mythic week
Don’t say the thing 
but its hard to predict if anything changes, e.g. the 25% legendary for arcane mage seems like it could potentially change
Ahh finally break time, now I can stare at this one discord channel
arcane mage op, i did say it... pls don't be angry
tbh i would rly like to have a stacked graph to see how every spec/class is doing
you guys are just finished talking about people asking a question the hundreth time so i guess its time i ask a question thats probably been asked 99 times
good to know! 😄
the sin sim is inlcuding the poison bug yeah
yes
i think whispyr simmed after the poison bug was in
impact is ~100-200 dps
we made a bot command for it earlier
NICE
!pb
Deadly Poison doesn't apply on some casts like Garrote, Rupture, and Shiv.
It's a minor bug but "notable" in that it does have some noticeable impact on DPS.
Should be around a 100-200 dps loss
Poison bottle?
You mad lad. 
Might be the first time that’s been said in a while 
i made a before/after from my spreadsheet given i had the sims/numbers already
Sub has higher ST and aoe, but absolute meme cleave. So it’s not bad actually
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Wait sub is higher st?
i made the calculation for st, what was ~120 dps loss average
🤔
Subs higher st usually only gets to shine when you play brain afk at the boss. Assa is way more forgiving if you have downtime.
one thing to keep in mind from the pins is that this is in mythic gear
Downtime meme 
@trail anvil i like you pfp, but its just the before (gray) after (green)
also sorry that i didn't edit in the legendary items in the 2nd one, its probably slightly confusing
and thank you ❤️
i had not a lot of time to focus on the spreadsheet today, rly want to get it done.
I hope i can finish it today/tomorrow
You can infer based on numbers though fuu! I think it’s a neatly done double graph 
would like to do some actual tc instead of simming combinations ^^
I wish i could swap
dont worry trinkets will have our backs
Me too @trail anvil
but i cant since im playing outlaw for M+
and we need a necro for the comp
tbh i think sin/sub are about equal in output, sin probably still the better progression spec
Outlaw.
so i don't feel that you can make a mistake by choosing assassination over subtlety
i do like outlaw, i hope they find a way to buff it on st without making it op on aoe
so that it can compete in raiding
Just give it aura buff and nerf flurry kekw
Outlaw suffers a bit but compared to other specs I think rogue is done well
as nice as bf is it seems to hold the spec back
Ezpz
Yeah b/c any substantial ST buff is now a HUGE AoE buff due to BF, unless it on like pistol shot or BtE
Or just
Change bf
Make it charges again, or nerf it’s damage and buff st
Can do many different things
I think its part of the "class design" of outlaw that bliz likes though
Ya
part of the sword and board feel of the class
I mean it’s not like they need to imo
i think it gives outlaw distinct gameplay
Would be nice to have competitive st but
thats healthy i guess
What’s wrong as rogue with having a meta spec for m+ and 2 fine specs for raiding?
Which is cool
making bf uptime lower could work, but i think it feels worse to play
Yeah...
nothing, thats great
i also like how subtlety could potentially be good in m+
The cov system seems to be a stresser
Subtlety seems very strong in m+
i rly struggle to judge subtlty in 9.1 m+
As long as you do large pulls, sub is pumping
Sin is good for m+ too in the right hands, it just lacks the extra cc that gouge provides
Same for sub
because the big downside of sub is still low target cleave
Lord and savior DK pulled 8.9 in a 19 mists last night
Sub might fill the roll that Fire Mage did with pride and blow up the tormented mobs
Sub has huge AoE just worst cleave in game too
raidbots sims dont account sylvana dagger proc, or why is it lower than the other dagger?
DK?
I weren’t implemented until last night
possible, i am excited to see people bring sub rogue and try out new strategies
👋
Oh hello 😂
Itll be fun to see sub vs sin in prog
Imma play sin and we have another rogue who will be playing sub
Sick
Between ryfie running them on PTR and that last night I’m prepared to say sub is good for m+. Outlaw may still be better but sub very good
Which is what we love to see.
there's at least 1 boss where you can sit braindead afk on the boss so Sub vs Sin will be interesting indeed.
I might wait 3 weeks to swap to Venthyr... I'm 3 weeks away from having every single Necrolord mount. lol
Sin still is punished when not meleeing the boss so not really
No sub v assa
U can’t use them after u swap tho p sure
Rogue v other classes
^^


I don't care about that. My goal is to have every Shadowlands mount
Ethical and wholesome sub rogues 
Rogues need to UNITE and fight the mage supremacy
Fire mages domed, truly unlucky
You know what? They deserve it too, it’s been a bit
worse part of the post
Ye, I remember hellfire citadel
9.1 truly looking to be atonement for past balancing sins 
Potentially seeing arcane will be nice
And then do shit dps in m+ as outlaw kekw
do we go for Obedience lego now as bis?
Yes
Yes but not available until mythic week
Afaik
Do it now!
Any time papi 

Which cov and spec will be the best for 9.1 raiding?
Call me papi too
Would it be worth waiting until mythic to make new legendaries? wait on drops from heroic?
Yes
Spec unsure about. Covenant seems to be unanimously venthyr though. All rogues look viable with sub/sin looking better than outlaw in raid
do you same would go for swapping covs?
its really not too bad on outlaw in m+ with venth
I call everyone that lol
Ya true idk I’m just very used to sbs
been banging out 20s since 9.1 with no huge detriment to aoe and a noticable ST buff on bosses
Maybe venthyr is easier tho idk
Yeah that‘s what I thought aswell, Sbs is just more fun. But venth ability is still super good
Less room for mistakes?
You get tons of prio damage
yeah would necro sin have good uptime though
Fat deeps
for movement
Come on, you keep that bad boy on cooldown and feel like you have mini BL
Obedience will be unlocked week 4?
3
ty
Sheeeeeesh
Keep that flag in ur pants
yeah so necro sin > venth because extra bleed uptime during movement phases?
Zaraki kun
Keep that flag on you at all times
Dekai chan
or does the prio damage out rank it?
2 this week, 3 next week because the same 2+questline, same for week 3
:3
Oh wow, we don't get Obedience until Mythic week?
Correct
Venthyr is better
side note, the dude that pops up after you time a dungeon letting someone reroll a key to a different dungeon is amazing
It’s an 11% legendary
literally so good
Lol
How do we acquire it?
That’s why there’s no rush
I KEEP THAT MF THANG ON ME 
Got me feeling different out here
You two need a moment? 
YES SIR, AT ALL TIMES. DONT LET THE MAGES CATCH YOU LACKIN
Lmao

i mean...
I mean, you're not wrong though
Should be the new rogue motto imo
Happy to be going back to venth... prob wait till the end of next week to swap over
Just dont make the same mistake as me and get your 2 renown this week on another cov
Hope I can catch them back up so I can craft obedience first day out
Kekw
same plan here, have the first half of the quest done to swap back depending on what happens in heroic week 🙂
I was bonerlords believer
You can catch up this week
You’ll catch up quick
Apparently 
There is still the catchup mechanic up to 42
Pog, guess I know what I‘m doing next to rep grinding
saw someone saying 3 renown for world boss
Just not AS huge as 1-40
I mean that‘s fine, I just need 40-42 for venth
According to oxi and someone else, you get the anima quest and something else?
i would at least wait until next week to snag flying and soul ash vendor then swap
When is the big boy hot fix 🥵
what're twe thinking for ST necro SIN for raid?
Anime and korthia weekly
doomblade still?
So I can install wow on laptop and swap
Pins
ST Necro is still doom yeah
I hate this covenant bs so much
so ventr is wrong or what ? 😄
No venthyr is good
...
necro is still a good choice
But if someone wants to remain Necrolord they can! 
good
I would rather go back to pearl diving in nazjatar that doing this renown shit
Venthyr is performing the best at the moment given no changes, they’ll continue to do so 
Id rather do Cov shit than deal with corruption again though lol
^^^
And my 115% base haste
Corruption > covenants
I suck at RNG
Me2
No such thing as rng
and it took em too long to allow you to buy the pieces you actually needed
Necro or Vent for Asn?
Venthyr
Pins
it sucked long enough that i stopped playing before the Vendor was added 😦
Given no changes Venthyr is best in all situations
That’s super fair
I would still much rather deal with the headache of getting corruptions then cov swapping
atleast by the time your corruption rolled around again you could buy like 5 of them
Atleast we're not still dealing with Azerite gear LOL
its quick and easy lol
Azerite gear is Poggers!! 😠
Azerite gear was not poggers my friend
the exponentially increase the renown catch up and people still go crazy
It’s very obvious dekai is trolling 
i luckily have venth already sitting at 40 and NF if we ever go back to that
Or a sociopath 
Some of the effects were sick though

Bring back shrouded 
True!
True
Bring back double leggos 
The dream
