Any time! 
Afenar's is so pog dude ngl
If i have doomblade on my gloves how much am i screwing myself? Are these sockets make or break? Or is it just some top end min-max stuff?
hey there - so i saw sin got a up but will that make it relevant in M+ (medium level 15-16) or will outlaw still be the goto ?
u should play what you like in that range, but generally outlaw will be better than assarogue in m+
all 3 specs seem viable, no one knows for sure which one will be optimal, might end up depending on the dungeon
cool cool
Definitely want all sockets if possible. I’d make on cloak as soon as you can as well 
anyone here going raiding as venthyr with obedience? or do you thing this gonna get nerfed?
50/50 shot it gets nerfed
What's the average ilvl on shadowland atm?
Run it if you think it won’t and if it does no harm no foul
Like top end or current?
It has been relevant all the time for that level of keys
I’m 224 rn, and a lot of people are closer to 226-229. But there’s no gear to be had from 9.1 that’s an upgrade over mythic afaik
Not too bad I guess
222 my self, some gear drops have been nice from korthia but I need to upgrade them ( got haste/vers helm and crit/vers wrist )
Prob try to get some of those korthia equipments to replace some 220 gear
Wondering if any of the new trinkets will be better then Phial/etc
Doesn’t look like it
Can we upgrade them automatically or will we have to farm a new one for season 2
Farm new ones
No
What stats are we going on obedience ? Still crit haste ? Or vers
Truely a sad day
Haste crit on every sin lego
hey guys, where can i find all discord class?
What
classes
#rules-and-guides @worthy moth
if u wanna use it for sub too, what stat is better haste versa can be worth?
You would go crit vers
!guide
anyone know if ryfie or another high m+ sin rogue made any content for 9.1 yet?
Ryfie’s server seems to be dead 😦
Probably not given the raid nor the new season has launched
Whispyr has been streaming more, maybe he’ll bless us with his sin content 
Ryfie also probably is blasting sub rn
You’ll get more Ryfie since there’ll be tyrannical push weeks now
Sub*

Sim*
Probably will continue to do those as well, most of the work is done though
Just have to resim everything all the time
The sims never stop
It's not worth upgrading most of that gear IMO. It's recommended to use the research on conduits
@balmy condor are you playing sub also?
I haven’t specced sin once since Tuesday
Hello, is the hotfix for covenant change applied or not yet ?
Oh wow... Tell tell sign?
Sin is fine, just happy to be able to play sub again
Grind*
Hey @balmy condor , outside of lashing, how impactful are the other potency conduits for sin?
Meh
Ok so what if
Uh oh
What legendary you running for sub whisp
we use cto on sin and run blindside/ subterfuge and use ambush from vanish
Cannot go back to Venth it still gives me the "Prove your worth" quest .. isnt this supposed to be reset ?
Finality atm
Famous last words
because cto works on sin
Ty
Awful
Aw
Soon™️
Sinlaw dream is dead
Anyone can explain me why to reapply bleeds so early prior to ending according to guide it's:
Rupture, refresh with 7.2 seconds remaining at 5 combo points, or 6 seconds remaining at 4 combo points
I main assa but outlaw in m+… damn the difference from necro feels 😛 hopefully obedience makes it a little better
!pd
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
I’m sorry to hear that
But going full sin in 9.1! @balmy condor
@spice spire Soon as in this week? or as in 9.1.5 ?
Aight thanks brother
first time sin here too i promise
@balmy condor Are you liking Sub better than Sin for 9.1 so far?
I’m liking sub because I haven’t played it seriously in a long time
If it’s better or worse idk
It seems much better than current. Like if it’s better or worse is whatever, but not being absolutely dumpstered is huge for our sub brethren 
Because god damn it’s been a long time coming
We like-a the spin
regarding the torment event, how long is it up? i mean it spawns every 2 hours , but idk duration
Unsure
Depends on how quick players finish it
But never more than like 5-10 minutes, enough time to get there
Made the swap to Venthyr last night.. Was hoping that LFR would give 2 renown, but it's still not even a 100% chance per boss
It’s not
And drops aren’t 2 renown atm. Just higher chances of drop.
2 from quests and 3 from world boss afaik
Yeah, made it from like 3 to 19 last night
Hoping to be around 35 tonight
Evidently I never did Venthyr at all
I am a raider/m+ ksm content player and I like the sub play style and also enjoy assassination l. I see a lot of people giving assassination great reviews but also seeing that, with the buffs, sub is simming close. For the sake of helping my raid and m+ team which is better for that content? I do know sub a little better than assassination.
Stick with sub then. Both are excellent for raid and sub looks a little bit better for m+ and you know it a bit better so there’s the comfort factor too
Sub simming slightly higher on both as well. It just lacks the cleave damage 
True didn’t know if the ability to have dmg on the boss while away due to mechanics like assassination would make it better or not
If i killed worldboss and some raid boss do i get renown if i kill them again or nah?
Downtime is a meme. It effects everyone and is detrimental. Sub looking good. Unless the fights are all cleave sub looking very good 
Once per week
Thanks!!
@spice spire but what about SP downtime? 
even if i swap covenant now?
Any time, good luck this tier papi 
Aight chief it’s time to hop off the TL 
Afaik yes. Not 100% though
Hm ok and if i swap cov now i can start the quest chain to swap back right?
Afaik yeah
can cloaks have a socket? if i make a new doomblade rank 4 on a cloak with a base item i got pre-9.1, is that a problem? are they supposed to have a socket?
They cannot
So you’re a-okay chief
but cloak is still bis for doomblade spot?
Legs also no socket
Yes because you have dom sockets on other two slots
gucci
Unfortunately 😦
Gang
flip flops
With the strap 
Quake affirming downtime is a meme 
anyone know the spell ID of the crimson tempest DoT so I can track it with plater?
Can we just stop talking about downtime lmao, I can’t tell which conversation I hate more, obedience or downtime, or bis lists, or scaling.
Based
The only reason I like the obedience talk is cause I can copypasta my meme
121411 I think?
Per stack yes
Flag does a lash every cp you spend
1% per CP consumed with a finisher during flag’s duration
Is it still Doom lego BiS for raiding & Zoldyck for m+ as sin?
If you’re non venthyr, yes.
If you’re venthyr obedience
ooh ok gotcha
For both
Ah obedience is the new lego for venthyr right
Correct
cheers, im necro so imma stick with those 2 thanks
doom & zol 😄
Legs or feet slot ? for zoldyck craft
i guess it doesnt matter right
Legs
actaully legs i saw on kelthuzad sry
Feet giga bad
tru i realized
Don’t craft anything on feet this patch
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz

I need more emotes tbh
Might go pester my artist again 
I do as well, but you definitely do. Your artist did an amazing job 
What soulbind do I use as Nerco assa?
Heirmir
Heirmir - gemstones
And what about the pvp ilvl increase, i just turn WM on and i suddenly get higher ilvl right?
Seem yer selllllllfffffff
i seem pretty cool
which slot for doomblade?
Cloak
ty
Whispyr does pandemic work that the 30% of the dur (and therefore dmg) gets added to the new debuff and keep adding up indefinetly like ignite?

it's in the dungeon journal for the raid
ah ty
Is it about a 8% dps loss to be necro vs venthyr in raid?
if nothing gets touched its preeetty big
if
Why cant i upgrade to 235?? ''you dont have a base item that is a higher item level than your legendary''
shouldnt i be free to upgrade it to 235 for only soul ash ? -_
Do you have the base 235 in your bags?
no you need an 235 legs
ah so i have to buy again? i forgot xD
yes 😄
i just bought 225 from AH so i thought i could upgrade it to 235 to save gold
now i just made myself lose 11k LUL
becasue blizzard likes making stuff shitty on small servers where that shit cost your kidneys
so is it just better i wait until they release higher ilvl?
i dont wanna spend 40k for 235 xD
i rather pay more for the new ones to come
You get me?
if you dont need it then wait 😄 (as long as there isnt a mechanic im missing=
nono i just wanted to craft it to have zoldyck rdy for next week 😛
It’s still ppm
then wait i guess 😄
im missing 7 renown to go for obedience this week 😦
Can’t get obedience until week 3 
Yeh
Ah fuck me...
damn blizzard is robbing us on gold especially if u switch specs and have to recraft 2~legos etc 😦
why the fuck are they doing this. raid is in week 2 why are leggys in week 3
i dont want to craft doomblade just to replace it 1 week later. So i guess ill just go for zoldyks since i need it for m+ anyways?
Mythic week 
Yeah it’s available first mythic week
well. guess im doing hc raid on 9.0 leggys then
As you probably should
Yeah
or they mean 0 , only soul cinders for 5 & 6?
Yep.
LOL

That’s not a lot tbh
wait for real?
Upgrading to 5 is honestly a waste of time tbh
I thought it was only rank 4 and then it uses cinders only?
this is true
soul ash will be easy to get as soon as the floors will go higher
But from 3 to 4 is is like 1950 only?
Oh really
it's total cost
Agreed.
Mostly because it takes exactly the same new materials as a r6.
It's gonna be similarly expensive.
It doesn’t cost ash to upgrade?
right?
Bless
they just mentioned for rank 5 and 6 you need pay with soul cinders
yeah
exactly 😄
thats why i was like why is it same
and it wouldnt make any sense if u compare to the other rank 1-4 upgrades
would cost hella lot
Good to know i dont need to worry about soul ash anymore on my main 😂
does that mean i need rank 4 before i can go to rank 5?
No idea , this is what im gonna try to do. I just crafted rank 3 zoldyck
waiting for rank 5
🙂
I doubt it
Don’t go rank 5
they mention 5,150 soul ash is because if you wanna upgrade it from 1-3 to 5
you got me? @bleak sedge
so it will cost me like 1950 soul ash from rank 3 to 5
We can craft rank 5 on mythic week and 6 one week after?
thats why they added soul ash for rank 5 and 6, if you wanna upgrade below 4
I believe so
If you’re min-maxing week 1 mythic
You would want to craft a rank 5 obed and then upgrade
But you could wait a week and make a 6
That's the ID for the crimson tempest ability
it doesnt work when you add it to tracking
@balmy condor i bet its better in my situation to save rank 4 until rank 6 upgrade since i play with doom / zoldyck right
wouldnt make a big diff for normal/hc raids
which probably makes more sense if dmg isnt a problem your raidruns into
i mean i dont really care about it*
I checked wowhead and I can't find the actual debuff it puts on an enemy
plater needs that one for it to track
Do you use elvui
no
I'll explain, the reason why they show rank 5 & 6 cost's 5150 soul ash is because if you wanna upgrade a lego from rank 1-3 directly to 5 or 6.
From rank 4 to 5/6 costs only soul cinder
Trying adding the - before the ID then? I’d have to look at my WA when I get home
Doing off of memory 
doesnt work unfortunately
Unlucky. If not solved in a few hours I’ll check mine sorry 😦
I just typed in crimson tempest on the debuff tracker list
any word on the sylv daggers yet
They are
Have they announced the new Dagger yet? Or is still just a xmog?
I plan on using the one time switch to go back to venthyr. Will there be a catch up for 40-42 next week with renown increase?
Which new dagger, the sylvanas?
yeah
Its not out till like tuesday right?
As of right now it's for xmog only basically since it has no stats
I think it was never an xmog the effect was just messed up
Yes, but thats probably because it wasnt working how they wanted it to
Definitely
do we get compensation ?
Just wondering if I missed a PTR note about it being fixed/changed or if was still just removed
They might have fixed it on ptr idk, but im sure by the time its live it should be working
I dont think its meant to have secondaries
It's not
Most of the special weapons dont
Yeah, that's working as intended
Ye, would be too good
but they removed the proc on PTR
I think the bow does? Because its a leggo
No, the 2h sword does
Kk
But the "consume" is fucking useless anyway
It's a DPS loss (and a massive gold sink)
Yeah it changes the stat budget or something i remember now
last level empower = no secondaries
Hey, im venthyr right now and i was thinking about changing to Necro. Will it be stronger in the end?
Yeah ok. I was a bit confused, because the most logs are Necro.
The Obedience (Venthyr) legendary which we get soon makes it a winner.
Obedience is a strong legendary is the answer to your ailment
Soon™️
Also, 3 potencies are OP
I believe we get 3 potencies with vampirebois
(I don't know if everyone does)
In st with nadjia you go dauntless duelist
We only get two yeah
Cuz we go dauntless
Wait fatal flaw creates a large burst window hol up 
Everyone gets 3, taking all 3 depends on if your conduits are shit
We have about 1.5 good conduits
should i just stay outlaw until obedience comes out, i have enough to make doomblade but if its gonna be obsolete in 2-3 weeks idk if itll be worth
So usually if there’s something good (gemstone, pointed courage, dauntless), we take that
If I swap to venth craft lvl 5 leggo at once and gets nerf next week I will commit seppuku
We don’t know
Well you won’t be able to craft the venth lego for another 2.5 weeks
So there’s that
Ye I still chill as necro I got venth 40 aswell
I get the feeling im gonna start caring about conduit energy this patch
I only have like 20+ renown on venthyr should i change it now fast n farm it quick ?
Can we swap to our old covenant without the penalty?
I m rather hesitant to go venthyr from necro
Anyone knows ?
It’s not live yet
man this mists dagger wont drop. Any other somewhat '' easy'' dagger to get ?
i don't think you need to bc. you kinda use mostly the same ones in m+/raid
@toxic root ive switchted venthyr to necro Last week (thursday)->trying to switch back to venthyr but draven wont talk me
They’re all around the same drop rate. If the mist dagger doesn’t drop, neither will the others
You literally can't care about conduit energy in current shitty system coz if try actively change them you go out of it very fast -> malding for a little -> then make static builds for st/aoe -> forget about energy as it never happened
Idk I think we suppose to have a free change again on our old covs
Its not live yet
Cool
sylvanas will probably be harder to kill tho
Anyone else play the pineapple game?
Can a dagger drop in Korthea ?
sylvanas bridge phase sin stocks 📈
Yes, i dropped one from a chest or boss yesterday
Upgradeable with the new currency
any slice and dice weakauras?
In what way?
to keep track of s&d
!wa
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
can they be broken down to just have a basic bar for tracking the buff
i dont really like to use WA packs
As sin its not crazy important since it naturally refreshes with cut to the chase
You kinda only need to see when its low
or make your self, is really easy
never made any weakauras but Im trying to edit one I have for hunter frenzy now lol
I have a stand alone bar Spiffo. Want me to message it to you?
yeah sure
Love his weakauras, they’re great lol
but i really like the core
Keep track of evvvvverything
Personally i just use the buff tracker on my personal healthbar from plater but whatever makes you play comfortably is best
Yo guys, how is assa looking right now in 9.1? Best melee spec right now?
I got a dagger from korthia can't remember if it was drop it quest reward. It can get upgraded to 235ilvl
99% sure you can post in here for future reference! I know the CFs/norms do often!
If you prefer messaging that always works too 😛
We look fine, best so far looks like fury warrior actually 
Followed by sub then I think us afaik
Should i craft Doomblade on shoulder?
Back, shoulders have a domination socket
ty ^^
Really @spice spire? logs looking not so good for fury 😦
9.0 isn’t 9.1 😛
Hold pls
Yeah, pretty major difference
Good thing is with the way obedient is we can play both ass and Sub based on what the fight/raid needs are
@twin bolt so far this is how they look afaik
Not all classes implemented etc etc. take with grain of salt ofc
but i think the specs arent optimized there
That’s a lot of David
It is
Yeah
Yeah hence the etc. etc.
Even if they weren’t messy, comparing specs in sims imo is kinda really bad
Fury in general has seemed v strong yeah?
@balmy condor where should i craft my doomblade legy? cloak?
@warlock omegalul
Not wrong
Yes
Warlock sims 
I think i heard warlock sims have gotten a little better but still suck
Not like it matters much you never dont bring warlock
Why would you not bring a lock though
lol, trueeee
Gate and cookies OP 
Those cookies are tastay
yes, someone stepped up and fixed demo
Summons are bis
thats why it sims decent/good now
Wait demo fixed? 
Uhhhh
What about the other specs though? 
its old news tho
Tbf I don’t really follow locks, we have four in my guild and one dude looks at their stuff that isn’t me 😛
When its the only thing blocking you from life an death try sayin that again
Cookies I mean
Definitely wasnt a joke
T26 so I’d assume so?
So full 226 then
thats 9.0.5 sim with 9.1 changes
Since 9.1 is t27, ye. Just unsure which patch it’s pulling from
Gotcha
Ahh
so its mythic castle gear
But 9.1 balance
no 3rd potency etc.
are we still running doomblade as assa for sanctum?
If non venthyr in raid, yes. If venthyr, obedience
Crafting both
Thanks mate 🙂
Not risking obedience getting nerfed and being stuck leggoless
allready made like 6 different hahahah, so many times ive had to change spec this exp so far
you can't craft obedience before mythic week
im guessing if we got our renown 41 and 42 on one cov, we'll have to wait until next week to get 41 and 42 on another cov?
Has any sims been done to see how much domination sockets adds to dps? Especially after you get the bonus for 3
According to others you can do it this week
!def
Rogue Defensives usability: http://tiny.cc/q602uz
On ST it looks like it!
I heard it was like a 7% increase although I’m not sure
To know if I should take a high lvl helm or chest out of vault instead to running heroic gear till/if I get CE
7% for the 2 others after the 3bonus? If so guess I’m running 239 gear 😩
Ahh not sure, someone prolly knows better
So if you switch covenant, you’ll get the same weekly quests?
According To a few people yes. I haven’t done it personally but I’d like to believe people wouldn’t present falsehoods!
so the anima buff gives 8% crit or mastery depend on whichever is higher
should i make sure crit is alwasy higher so get crit from the buff instead of mastery
@balmy condor
You can sim your vault so that’s not gonna be a problem

Probably
or it doesnt matter
I think if you have less crit than mastery you already have some problems
yes my mastery is higher lol
Well, new season means new opportunity to fix your gear
So I would try to avoid that
ok in general haste=crit>mastery=vers then?
if you're venthyr crit runs ahead for a while
but as always use top gear for upgrades
Kinda yeah
In single target you want haste Crit vers
In aoe you want crit mast haste
People asking sub vrs sin, remember sin is typically better in prog due to bleeds doing a lot of our damage as sub you need to stick on the boss
bleeds dont do a lot of your damage
Not too many pure patchwork fights
Env over all is like 1100
Deadly psn 600
Garrote and rupture both 500
Psn/bleeds make up half the dmg
More than
you need to stick on the boost to press envenom
Who suffers more from movement, sub or sin
By a drastic amount
Ok, I dont want to raise a topic about sin vs sub uptime holy war. But don't forget that most sub dmg comes from burst windows so losing a couple of backstabs is not world's end
any updates on fuu's finding s from last night
What did fuu look into
Wasn’t he just updating his spreadsheet?
his sims for sub went from 10.6k dps to 10.3
Am i still putting haste and crit on lego?
Yeah that’s cause of a fix to fatal flaws that didn’t make it into the pins
yea dont worry our boi theo has our back
damn
so its still 108xx
I mean we still don’t know how sylvanas daggers work fully
Or how strong they’re gonna be
At least we have some idea
Druids are still simming nathria gear
druids don't want us to know how strong they are
it's the year of the spear
Seeing the debacle of this 9.1 sims.. NOT knowing numbers would help a lot tbh
Only letting us know something along the line: vent sub real close
Vent looking to be better. Thats.it
Or whatever
When it's this close during early sims stop stressing. It means both sub and ass are in a good spot
Thats the point
And again when sims are this close , you have to wait for actual practical data from raids. Simulations at the end of the day are educated guesses
Sims are shaky. Not sure. Some bug. Etc. So people jumps to conclusion for no reason
Sometime knowledge can be bad because u need a brain to comprehend it
I'm loving all 3 specs and plan to play all 3 with bias towards raid performance. I'm enjoying the class!
Its like posting a link on facebook about a stupid fakenews title but if u read it. Its the complete opposite
what covenant did you choose tho
I have venthyr due to my raid performance bias. I picked the necrolord quest and gonna have it ready for turn in case obedient gets nerfed
So that's it. I'm chill this way until we are a few weeks in and the clouds clear
i would prefere to have more information
If obedient gets nerfed it will make sin the best raid spec anyway. And as I said if your bias is raids you have to go with what will perform best there.
If you wanna focus on m+ outlaw will be your primary spec if you are serious. So in that case pick sub or sin as your off spec and play necrolord with Kyrian quest ready for turn in while you wait for more data
If you pick assassination as your off spec have venthyr as back up ready.
if obi gets nerfed sub is still ahead in st
I love how wow has everyone conditioned to think best = op
if it gets nerfed the devs have no idea what they're doing and we should play a different game
look at other specs legendaries, they give FAR more than obedience
Yeah but its a tad obnoxious everytime someone comes in here spewing ITS OP ITS GONNA GET NERFED
adds nothing to the conversation
Yeah
Last time I got gaslit into playing Sub it ended up being dogwater. Not worth the risk.
we have more pressing issues anyway, we still dont know how good the daggers are xd
I mean if you look at flag right now as it is. It's pretty powerful single target. With the added vers buff and cooldown reduction to line it up with vendetta it's a little insane.
i mean if that minor thing gets u liek that then prolly should be playing another game
The reason we don't know if it will nerfed or not is because yes other classes have had very op legendaries and didn't get nerfed
No idea
Which is why we don't know. I wouldn't be surprised either way. If Blizzard always balanced then I would say 100% it would get nerfed. Since they don't however I have no idea
That was a bit more extreme than obedience lol
Best you can say is
Turned outlaw into a literal shotgun
There’s a 50/50 shot
One reason it may not get nerfed is to make up for how bad rogues were in CN. They were very unwanted ....didn't bring any buffs or debuffs and DPS was average
Exactly
This may be their way if giving rogues a meaningful spot without major reworks
Could be
Are you my dad? Making same joke to new people lol
Since major class reworks don't happen mid expansion
Sin was one of the best specs for Sire prog because of P3.
.0.5 not 9.0
I don’t think it will because there are other leggos out there that are just as or more powerful. Also, we don’t bring anything else but damage, so why not let us do what we do? I’d be surprised if it was nerfed.
Either way it would be smart to prep for both scenarios based on your end game focus
sadly that logic hasnt saverd rogue
i just dont want to feel like i may need to play sub for prog
Is there a trinket list out there somewhere?
dont like the spec
The one that never drops for you is your bis trinket. It's how it always works
Bloodmallet added the new trinkets, but not all the i levels are in.
I had four phials in my vault throughout season one. 😂😂😂
is sub actually better than sin rn?
Sub also suffers more from mechanics/movement take that into consideration
some tweaks need to be made
They won’t nerf obedience, they will just buff the other legendaries 
subs have better movement then sin

or u mean someting else
Uptime
please not more uptime talk
Downtime memes and obedience in one conversation, OH BOY!
anything else
Lol
Everyone suffers from it, sin bleeds don’t make them immune from suffering from downtime
i always tend to lean with that logic but im not a theary crafter so idk
With how close sims are even something like your raid leaders Strat would impact which spec would be better for you. Stuff like does your raid tank adds close to boss or seperate etc. Lots of factors which is why we need practical data. Sims right now are telling us both assassination and sub are very viable
Whispyr novel inc 
u keep sasying they are close but they are not
thats not even what the downtime thing is about
atm
Are there many fights in the raid that lend themselves to cleave where sin is likely to outperform sub?
a difference of that is a pretty large gap
but good to know that u dont even know what ure talking about
thats like more thewn 5 %

is there a discord macro to whisper me all of the random !pd / !os w/e we've gotten setup here?
I legitimately had a couple of people say sin suffered less from downtime due To bleeds. So that’s the case for some, yeah
Sims are showing 10-11k results. 600 training dummy results isn't that big of a gap

Doomblade still going to be the best leggo in 9.1 for Sin raiding?
if vent, no. its the venth leggo
its def not training dummy results
"if not venthyr, yes".
when does that become available? im venbro
Mweek
and 600 is alot
Thx Mhun
same exact thing, stated adifferent way
exactly
No, I tend not to make fun of people who are earnest in their understanding. It’s clear you don’t interact with me a lot as that’s not really what I’m about - everyone loses on downtime. The energy regen argument was made but resource management isn’t all there is to damage diff, especially if DT causes overcap
so at Renown 48.
do a !help in #bot-spam and Moroes will dm you
something that's kept me up at night tbh. Do I share numbers publicly, and have the downside of people running with them, or do I keep them private and have the downside of people just not knowing? splitting the difference isn't really an option cause saying "venth and necro are both good" then just gets the follow up of "good how? by how much? whats the difference? is obedience good? is deathspike good? do we run emeni? is the buff to draven good?" and then you either have to tell people that you're not sharing info, which is 1. a dick move, teasing info and then not sharing it, cause they obviously know you have it, and 2. doesn't really do anyone any good, because you're basically not saying anything to begin with. On the flipside, I can understand not wanting to know numbers because they might change in a week, a day, an hour if something gets hotfixed, fatal flaws got changed in sims 3 hours after I re-did the pins the last time, so I get it, I really do. But I think to me personally, I would rather prefer to give people as much information as we have available, and tell people that it changes, and if people can't interpret the data for themselves, that's their problem, but at least I did what I could in giving people the information that I could ya know? I don't want to hide data and sims, I don't want to be all high and mighty about it. If I'm simming, and I'm looking at it, then I want everyone else to be able to see it, and look at it as well
thanks
Woah whysp wrote a book
nominate whis for rogue of the year
600 out of 11k is 5.4% that's not much when comparing specs and not factoring in adds, type of adds, fight flow, uptime/downtime etc
Because whispyr is a winner 
bro thats alot of dps lmao
5% is a lot
All we know right now is that both specs are viable for now. Until we have practical data to compare
you're optimizing your gems/enchants for much much much less
my unwanted 2cents, if you were to withhold it, someone will angry sim and share it anyway and we wind up like DH's with multiple discords yelling at each other and accomplishing nothing but being edgy dumdums
thats almost double the dps of ur best conduit
I just remember a time when people said Sub was gonna be the Rogue spec. Then it ended up sandbagging for an entire tier like it was BFA all over again.
It also comes into play is downtime by design or by play.
Ie. Is the downtime forced like shriekwing or inflated by you not stepping back to hungering every chance possible from either the giant circle or self circle he made.
normally yes, when APL / simc itself is wonky, thats hard to do reliably
Having the data available is definitely the right way to go, and your spreadsheet with links to raidbots is great. I do wonder if having the sim dps picture pinned encourages the lazy to just look at that and not read any further, though. But that's also just sort of their problem then? Unfortunately then they're the ones that rage about stuff changing
I like having all those infos and numbers. They are really helpful
tbh i never expect sub to be the go-to spec for pve
also @gusty kestrel I think you can hop into a spec channel without antagonizing people. Quake is honest to god one of the nicest people in this channel and it's clear you don't spend a lot of time here if you think he's making fun of people. If you have a point to make about a conversation, try to think about what you're saying to who before you just start blasting at random people
its not too hot for pvp either
It's based on single target vacuum. You have got to understand that a class that does upfront damage based on uptime has to sim a little higher than a dot based class
it's my personal spreadsheet honestly it wasn't ready for public sharing, but it's something to improve for next time
That's why 600 isn't that much to go by. That is also why every decent guide says "bis single target doesn't mean bis in raid" for exactly that reason
friendly reminder to keep this bug report at the top of the forums: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/echoing-reprimand-not-working/1014880/13
I asked him if he made fun of them, I never said he did.
but its fine teacher whispyr
keep in mind tho, this new raid tier is mostly single target focused, less burst oriented
and a lot less aoe oriented
I’m just sitting back & waiting for you to do your thing, Whispyr. You’re doin’ the lords work. You do the math. I’ll try to do a pump with the math.
xd
The big takeaway is that sub and sin and even outlaw are really good and we might have runaway venthyr
But we can have fun anyway 


Play what you like
I’m ready to flop back to Venthyr Sin when they pump out that free swap if it ends up being better than Necrolord.
You can even be night fae
even if burst isn't explicitly enhanced by mechanics (like on sludge or with prideful) it's still almost always better than a flatter damage profile
No one is playing Night Fae in 2021.
swapping "early" so i can use the free swap back when obi gets dumpstered XD
i see ppl say sod is mostly multi target and others say its mostly st
kyrian sin when
eeww
All my homies hate Sepsis.
just watch blizz make us swap between all 4 in one tier
Last tier?
you mean like last tier?
Literally last tier
^
Fotm chaser huh
nope, its indefensible
I played NIGHT FAE Sub, we all make Mistakes.
That’s okay
you know it
Bro the real mistake was starting with venth in 9.0 
^
I mean I dropped Rogue & went Hunter for my first round of CN CE so idk about that one chief.
smarter then us
my guild doesnt need a healer and with how much ST it looks like is in SoD, and the guild not having a rogue (aND SYLV DAGGERS ARE COOL) sin felt like a great choice
You mean Ashvanes Razor Coral v2?
i hated ashvane trinklet
It did like no damage too
okay true
You just took it for inkpod crit. Then you went Font / Coral towards the end. But I digress...back to the current tier.
9.0.5 was crazy though, literally everything you could ask for to buff flag
No recast, more damage, and 1% haste per stack
I don't miss having to channel font of power
i stayed necro for outlaw m+
Yeah im currently necro
At least ill have the renown leveled most of the way if i ever need to swap back
doomblade still on back ?
Yep
ok ty
The only thing I’m slightly sad about is having another legendary on my back
Ash’jrakamas anyone?
gong lu anyone
I will admit, ashjrakamas was pretty epic
It was like renown but instead of worthless blizzard points you got ilvl on a piece of gear
True
I assume gong lu was the pandaria lego?
And that sick main stat proc
yeah the strength one lol
Oh crap, I had nearly forgotten about it
i cant remember the agi one
I didn’t play pandaria much, definitely never got as far as the cloak
So i don’t know what they looked like
I am however working on grabbing the fangs of the father rn
They mog weird, i have to mog them backwards to get them to work
like sleeper main hand
i just use the CM set from mop
CM?
challenge mode
yea
Lol, its too bad you can’t get it anymore
Oh well
Wait, were there cool daggers that came with challenge mode?
Whoa
WoD CMs yeah
I wanted to ask about the doomblades legendary, does it work with bleed effects from things like trinkets?
No
if you have the achievements i think
Only bleeds from your abilities.
Garrote
Rupture
Crimson Tempest
Bonespike (if Necro)
Yeah, I figured as much
My main concern was more about how u felt with all that. The infighting can be really depressing and the sims were the cause. I also prefer to know the number and the data when its available . But if u wanted to withold them i would have understood too.
Tldr im glad ur doing all this work for us!!
Too bad, it wouldn't been interested to see weapon swap shenanigans
I butchered that english, whoops
Would be insane if it worked off any bleed you do. 
Yeah, it would be a way more interesting legendary
Does the bleed it applies not count either?
:wack:
Yeah
Doomblade would be possibly too powerful if trinket bleeds counted
I mean, that is a 5% dmg increase for EVERY bleed you have on target
Well, the balance would have to shift for that to be a function
in it's current state, yeah agreed
Oh undoubtedly
5% damage for envenoms
but it would be a way cooler legendary
I’m currently trying to come to terms that I have to (well rather SHOULD) swap from my Fae bois…
Yeah, true
Especially with the new fist weapon coming out
It would be cooler but not broken
Why would you have to?
Cuz ass normally can't use their abilities with a fist weapon to my knowledge
You don’t haveeeee to switch
Cause it measurably behind
And?
Yeah I dont HAVE TO
And you don’t want to obviously
I thought it was still fairly close?
Ye.
I thought it was like int the 200-300 behind
Afaik its pretty far behind
yeah, at 40 it's 200ish
Ahh okay
hu
so if you're looking for peak optimization, yeah it's probably wise to swap
Yeouch
I guess its more up to if my raid group wants me to be 100% optimized
nightfae vs venthyr
Indeed
max renown is 80 right?
I believe so
I haven't seen any sims about 80 renown
Thematically I like the Fae, but I didn’t think to sim at max. Which would make sense to do
Yeah, true
Well there is a chance they get some soulbinds that shift things, but probably won't change a 1k difference
Yeah
That's crazy though, I didn't think it was a huge difference
Honestly, I really like the Kryian ability a lot and wish it was better
Same here
I’ve never tried the kyrian ability
Don’t plan on it either, like venthyr too much
Yeah
Kyrian is just bad because it only works on 1 anima point, and the legendary should really just be baseline
at least partially
Hmm
@balmy condor
!ambush
Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.

ty
there it is
I can hardly wait to get back from vacation so I can play me rogue
damn the law is like 1k behind

Yes
?
Flag is favorite
Frostfire same

Good
pirates are sick
Evvvvverything
fuck off
Never!
😮
I probably like it better than any other spec
Maybe not monk or shadow but
and i think thats without fist weapon sim
Outside those outlaw is good
Fist weapon sim?
theres a fist weapon
Oh?
!bis
does serrated bone spike stack?
The daggers are not in the sims too so it's still gonna be around the same? Maybe
Afaik no
idk
Is there a bis list already?
we will see
No
No but it does blade flurry
What do you mean by stack?
daggers are cracked
No, bad, bad bis list
Whoops wrong quote
but like

Thats what I was thinking
they just get more finishers
Shadow damage and all that
and more cp and more energy lol
lol, nice
Oh word?
I just want daggers, mostly for how cool they look, the effect just makes me want it more
Not on one target.
3 spikes, 1 target each
What’s the over under on obedience getting nerfed
Just stick 'em on 3 targets that'll be up for a while, and if you have Doomblade the DoT counts as a bleed.
Just levelled necro to 42 and cbf swapping again haha
is renown catcup live if you're above 40? like can i get to 42 on necro this week and then swap to venthyr and get 42 from dungeons etc?
Yes
Asking a question in the SPriest Discord and getting no reply

I recov’d and got to 42 since Wednesday
The campaign gives 2-3 renown per chapter, world boss is 3 etc, catch up is super easy
I don’t even remember if I got to 40 on necro
Waiting til we can get to 48 to swap to venthyr if I have to 😦
if thats the case then i guess the play is to swap from necro when u can get obedience
Some of the Cov campaign quests were only giving me 1, wasn't until the part where you discover Kel'thuzad's involvement that I started getting 2
Did you do them before reset?
No idea but I didn’t have to do any farming and I’m 42 and I fucked up by handing in 1k anima early
It deals initial damage again, bleeds do not stack
I jumped 39->41 and then handed in Maw weekly for 42
Unsure if that was already answered, sorry if it was 😛
