Well when you skip it it puts you at the part where you attuned the second stone to Oribos and you have the portal on the secons floor.
I have that
Not sure how changing Covs affects past that
I heard somewhere that you have to be renown 40 to start Korthia, so i did it, but I don't know when I can "safely" change covenant
No you dont have to be 40. I was 33 and did it today
To start Korthia you just need to finish your cov campaign
You have to complete one campaign, not that of your current Cov
how come the tooltip for slice and dice on wowhead says it also increases energy regen by 15% but in-game it doesn't?
Thats for Outlaw i guess
All I have in Korthia is the weekly % quest and collect 50 things, don't remember the name
think thats the wod version
lol
In 9.0 snd gave sin rogue 15% energy regen
9.0.5 we got cut to the chase, got more energy regen baseline, and lost the 15% from snd
Or maybe it was 10% idk
soo mainly mythic+ player , should i got venthyr or necro
play what you like the most
not necro 100%

looks like venthyr will pass necro with obedience and further conduits
it is in the pins my guy
I'm expecting an obedience nerf tbh
Triple potency ventyr /w obedience
they are both strong and viable choices at the moment though
But yeh, who knows with the leggo. We wait 👌
for raid isnt necro better because of boss fight tactics 2 target 3 target or u think still venthyr is op ?
Oh I didn't see the new new sims, sry
Last time I remember them, the 10.8k necro was at the top
all g
no
why?
in its current potential state venthyr is by far the dominant st and cleave spec
huh
because it is so far ahead of every other legendary, clearly an outlier. Will it get nerfed? who knows, up to blizz. Just my opinion.
its not that far ahead though, its not some OP legendary that needs a nerf.
compared to other leggos other classes have its very meh
Dang, rhose stats are noice!
its like
4%?
ahead?
nah not really :)))
now please
I love me some crit and haste, especccccially the haste
already good bloodoath signet 226
Oooooh, even better lol
Still pretty nice to get if you had needed it
I don't really care about other specs haha, if blizzard balanced based on what needed to be addressed priority wise across all specs that would be great. But it's up to blizz at the end of the day.
That arcane one is insane
but thats mage's problem
whats that
24% iirc
and up to blizzard to balance
I wonder what balance druid’s was
Like, how far balance of all things was ahead of everything else
off top of my head
For rogues, obedience is the clear winner in ST and AoE. I am venthyr right now, but i am anticipating a nerf to it.
Wait, really?
sec
Have you seen subs legendarys? Blizzard doesn't care about balance 
Subs legendary?
lol
What, is this day 17 of talking about obedience needing a nerf?
We have the rotten
Sounds about right stska
balance used to be way further ahead
They deffffffinitely nerfed it

it was nerfed for 9.1
yeah balance was stupid back in 9.0
it was the reason boomkins were so prevalent, aside from them having druid utility
Still interesting that arcane infinity is sooooooo ridiculously far ahead, and here I thought the temporal warp would be the go to
Either way----
balance has their venthyr meme leggo now
lets not act like obedience is needed a nerf at all
So thats why I heard that so many balance druids were switching straight to venthyr
lets not act like obedience nerf would make rogues bad at all either
I dont want it nerfed, i am venthyr rogue right now.
kekw whats the balance venthyr leggo?
idk why you're all so scared about it, even if we play doomblade rogue's fine unlike 9.0, let's rejoice
did i say it would?
yeah 100%
people just keep jumping to it being nerfed because it made venth super strong
but no where near required to play
True
Hi, i want to play Outlaw for m+ and assassination for Raid. im a necrolord. is ok to stay like that? wat lego should i use for assassination necrolrd for raid
playing one or the other literally change 1 input per minute on your rotation, doesn't do much anyway
ye should be ok
ur also losing by not being sub
Necrolord still doin fine, especially if you’re doing outlaw too lol
Is necro best for m+?
If I swap to Venthyr now the fcking lego will be nerfed and I'll feel like a fool.
Afaik obedience venthyr is
helps that soul ash is so abundant now
Check de pins
this remains to be seen
simdps is not everything
Tbh all of this remains to be seen
the way that fights work out matters so much lol
yea for sure everything i say is just based on curent knowledge right
the fact that sub has nonexistent cleave
there is no good reason to think its likely to be nerfed, don't worry about it
cuurent sims rather
Hey this is right
and pure st sims
does sub really not have cleave . it has aoe finshers and rupture
subs cleave is really bad compared to outlaw/ass
It has aoe, but it doesn't have good target cleave.
sub cleave gains like
I don’t think rupture counts as cleave lol
Or does it
Anything that gains you more dps counts as cleave, I'd argue?
its their only tool in cleave
Sub can do 3-5 target somewhat ok
is how i would word it
Lol, indeed it issss
But straight 2 target
4+
Ass
if something happens to obi which i doubt then u stay necro and sub really looks better then sin
That bad?
actually no necro is shit for sub nvm
Oh lol
Is 8 targets just straight up powder bombing? Or do you try rupture 😂
🥶 🥶
Actually, according to the pins Doomblade Assa > Akaari sub.
yes
Without obi sub still goes venthyr and sin could go venthyr
thats for other covenants
yea i corrected myself
btw
Yeah at this point
I guess haste reaaaaaaly helps sub huh
if obi was nuked
u would go venthyr i think?
Wdym frostfire
prob the vers
its the vers from obedience
In the event that it sucked i mean
Without obedience flag is mostly good on sub for more burst still mostly
You had said they would still go venth
if obedience gets nerfed?
And getting full stacks
yeah
because
they wouldnt remove the verse
it would still be better than akaari or finality
Oh, good point
so if obi got nerfed it hits sin more then sub i take?
deathspike treatment
If I swap covenant now, do I get a free swap back? Or do I only get free swaps to other covenants now?
Seems like it
nah it hits them both indcredibly hard
Oh
problem is
Doomblade still good lol
Says in the pins in sub channel says that venth is equal to kyrian
probably go kyrian
Oh
?
like it depends on how bad obedience gets
yes
and whether the kyrian ability works
LOL
its still bugged man
doesnt do anything
afaik
Is it?
Also weird: The sims in the pin here suggests, that sub ist 10.9k single target, but 10.6k 2 target.
and if bron gets 10 more changes by mythic
Bron????
The funny golem in the mikanikos tree.
Oh
it was buffed to strong and got nerfed
I, haven’t messed with kyrian really
where?

the cleave numbers haven't been updated in a while
Ah, that explains it then
They should add mage tower back
I would literally cream
I desssssperately want the sin daggers
Yea
they should add any challenging/rewarding content that isn't tied to m+ or raiding back in
I want the frost dk mage tower swords :(
Agreed
Is there an opener macro involving shadowstep ?
Theres sooooo many different looks I still want
No
Yes the one you Shadowstep on pull and get there before your tank and instantly die
I mean, its all legacy content, it makes no sense to NOT add it back
they dont want it to outshine torgahst
I agree. I kind of understand wanting to reward players who did it at the time but come on. The elite PvP sets from previous expansions should be released too
cuz when blizz wants to push a system thats it
And plus, it probably wouldn’t outshine it, all the old legacy content is already played it
choreghast
id rather have
old horrific visions back
on god
they could add it in as scaled content, but scaled content usually ends up being much easier than when it was current lol. Mage tower would be so nice though
That’d be interesting lol
No mog should be unobtainable, only titles
But this goes to show how little effort is put in making gear that ppl still want gear from legion
I don’t even care if it is scaled content,
Thats actually true
It used to be amazing, now its just gone downhill
I get so mad we see all these cool gear on NPCs that could easily be rigged for the players but they give us all generic dumb looking things
And I know why that is ....
Heh, least pallies got ashbringer and we got gorona’s kingslayers
Blizzard outsources a lot of modeling to Chinese companies
They take the work but outsource it to other studios
They also outsource it to others
I got a contract to work on Diablo, the company that hired me was a small studio on San Francisco, they were taking the work from a Chinese company who had taken the work from netease games who had taken the work from Blizzard
So all the documents and concept art was translated from English to Chinese .....then from Chinese to English
It was a cluster fuck
But that's the industry
It's worse in VFX and film
So much information was lost as work was passed from one company to another, so that's why things have to be super simplified.
Also, it wouldn’t even devalue the people who got it before, it feels far more rewarding to get it while its current than to get it now
Is dungeon gear always as bad as it is this tier?
We just wanna look cool blizz
Cuz it’s pretty bad
And if you notice gear has become bulkier in design. That's a symptom of that kind of outsourcing. It leaves a larger margin of error for fitting the armor sets to different races since outsource artists don't have access to a lot of the base tools
I have another idea, why not let people turn in art designs of armor,
oh
The mog
Quality
Like, let the community decide what they want for looks
It could possible lessen the strain on them, annnnnd it might look cooler lol
It all goes back to cost and Blizzard not wanting to keep a large number of artists as full time employees. If you look they like to hire a lot of outsource managers instead of artists
Everyone says to run mythics. Why do I want 187 gear????
What is that
Don’t pay them, you dont get payed to let the community decide what they want, and they wouldnt need to do it every tier lol, just every once in a while hold a competition for the best art
Digital extremes, the company who runs warframe does it
dont troll me bro
Problem is not the design, it's the modeling. To give you an idea a AAA quality head for a game gets 15-20 days
and it actually ends up extremely good
sarcasm offends me
Wait, seriously?
That's not counting any expressions.
Good god
Heh, sorry
before we get modded
A full armor set for wow from highpoly to lowpoly would be anywhere between 30-40 days of work
🙂
That's not counting fitting and rigging for all the different races
Sounds like torture, so whats the next sin meme to talk about today
What is m+ and pogers
M+, mythic keys


Kek
Hands up this is the police 👮♀️
Are we nerfed yet? Should be the meme every day
daggers seem like they are
Not yet as far as I’ve seen
Who wants to be the rational sin rogue today? I was M thru Th
Nada
I can try to be today!
?
Mentally ill rogues as usual
hello?
😂
Sin Sub were seeing similar values
If you press BP it wasn’t applying to all
Same with CT
Gonna be about the same
was what i was looking at
I wonder what the overall best anima power for sin is
I’m thinking its veinripper, isn’t that the one that increases finisher dmg by 400% after shadowstepping
I didn’t get much testing but we get value from vendetta
I thinks symbols did too but unsure
I have to check the flags again
I mean there is no where to even test the new version so ping me next Wednesday when someone hopefully has it with some logs I can check
That bitch better give me some daggers for all the money she got from me
is obedience on week 3 or 4?
I know it's not the best but my personal favorite is Distracting Charges.

How did she get money from you
okbro
im sitting in ffront of draven rn
do i sawp?
I’ve been ironically staying subbed so I can watch her fall like Garrosh
venthyr gming?
Probably for the best
You either do it and it gets trashed and then you’re just part of the gang swapping back
Or you are the squidward watching spongebob and Patrick having fun meme
If you don’t
thats a fair analogy lol
Like at this point if you want to go with the stream it’s going to be one of those two scenarios
Either it’s great and you’re not venth feeling bad
lol
Or you’re venth we get nerfed and then you’re running back again
Go kill world boss and get to 38
Do an LFR wing
Get to 40
if you haven't finished main quest line also, each thing gives a ton of renown now
Whats the best use of bonespike in single target, just use the charges whenever you have one or hold them and throw when your about to cap?
dude
Ok thx
Because you switched?
That’s fair
thanks for coming to my TED talk
I’ll let the green bois know to adjust the sims and pins
I might have missed it, how much different is venthyr simming
Check the pins Reazu
compared to necro
ye thats what I thought
Has anyone gotten weapons from Korthia Armaments?
yeah got a 2handed axe on an alt paladin
i got a dagger from one
current daily (at least on EU) is weapon
Damn been sending them all to my spriest alt maybe I should open for daggers
Thanks all
is necro gonna be better on 2 plus targets?
Atm I would say that’s debatable
Currently it is, after you can get Obedience it may not be. But nothing is 100% certainty yet.
doesntmuch matter
can't even decide myself really..
you gonna go sin or sub @kind talon
I’m starting my swap quest tonight
outlaw >:)
Did they add the free cov swap yet???
but uh
ill go all 3 specs @lone minnow
just need to learn sub a bit better next week
think im gonna play sub for first week of mythic+ but we'll see
ive never been venth so if i swap am i 1 renown?
Ur not the only one
i am arent i
I feel like sub cheap shot is better than outlaw gouge
should be extremely easy
You’re in “stealth” all the time..
get bent?
?
Clown im gonna hop into normal raid groups and blast with sub 

toxic D;
sry
u lose a lot more
cheap shotting in dance
than u do by
Sure but
gouging
Utility bby
isnt venth shit for outlaw tho
not rly
whats the deal with the simcraft website sims?
Outlaw likes vers
be back in abit
wdym
Toxic Waste Beach, t@gusty mirage and now the @kind talon from "IT" the 3 assholes of Sin channel
I mean I think they started doing 252 sims on the website now and im wondering where they got em from - the fury one is diff from the one on the fury discord is all
Swag
theorycrafters submit profiles that are then baked into base simulationcraft
the website sims those profiles
ah I see
Fury discord is well known to give a different sim to simulationcraft
Yep
so they get them submitted
Fury discord 🙂
and then they just post them up there
kinda
Hello, is assassin rogue the best spec for raiding in 9.1?
Hello, maybe we don’t know
dude I'm giving this covenant shit more thought than my irl decisions
Yep. Let's go with that
Just switch @lone minnow
literally moved country without thinking twice
I want to do Sin and Sub. All my gear is literally 0 vers. Hate the idea of building two sets again.
Don’t look back until later
!guides
You get a freebie.
Just swap before the freebie and if it gets nerfed swap back for free (doubt it does)
We don’t hate on our fellow rogue they’re getting love for once. 
its ok I love plebs
When do i get a free swap? :0 i swapped this week for reasons and i now think i have to go back
Was venthyr got to necro for the 40th time, then i wanna go venthyr again
I mean, now i wanna go back
But if next week shit gets nerfed i'm in trouble:))
Right. No sense in swapping until everything is out
Just chill and play what you like for now
i really think the solution to this is to have two mythic geared rogues and put one in each cov
might actually do that
https://raider.io/characters/us/illidan/Arisia https://raider.io/characters/us/illidan/Moriti?utm_source=addon
like im actually stress free
10/10 would recommend
play whats good

and you dont get stuck having to alt a class that isnt rogue
this man has the answers
it was the "you need to be in alt raid" "i dont want to play anything but rogue" solution
one trick for life
Might actually go for that man
Now u got 2x chance for dagger 
thats kinda Pog
Delete the one that doesnt get it
ill get one on each and cry

jk who am i kidding i still have no 233 weapons
which one u gonna raid on first? @sonic spire
roll 10 rogues, whichever one that gets the sylv daggers first play that as your main. how to combat wow rng
ill see the sylv dagger in 9.2
thats what hardcore legion players did cause of the dumbass legendary system
they all had 4-5 of their class, and whichever one got the bis legendary they played that as main lol
gonna full clear H on both then see what has better gear and how venth/necro is looking - they both have 40 on both covs so eventyually the better gear RNG gets played
free swap is the best thing bliz has come up with - that and the mushrooms in korthea dont despawn anymore :3
can i just go to NPC and free swap right now?
so i named my rogue shadowblade cause of the badass dark elf assassin in warhammer fantasy ..i totally forgot that you get a shadowblade title from legion .......so now im shadowblade shadowblade ... 😦
Can u do the free swap yet? Thought it wasn't available yet
need to pick a new name for my rogue
why are you :c this is the best thing ive ever heard
dude don't that is bad ass
What’s up with this “free swap”
they're gonna let you swap back to a covenant you've already been instantly
its coming with a hotfix eventually
aight
1 time thing
Or just... Change your title?
imagine...having to farm all the renow on venthyr.
no one would ever change such title!
nah...staying necro.
I feel you
imagine doing 1k less st on mythic week 
@kind talon I did it, proud?
what is the overall best assas lego for only raiding
The problem is dat i dont want to raid whit my roge. i really love to run m+ only. but i feel like i have to raid bcz of gear
Tiny toxic blade and anyone who tells you different is trolling dont listen to them
and for both? m+ and raid
@nova flax funny guy 😄
not swaping to venthyr for assassin but i have to farm thorgasth to craft his lego.
It’s not top damage in st
For any spec
Lol
Extremely
huh?
fatal flaws was implemented wrong in sims
Do we know what trinkets are bis?
Which one?
phial + shadowgrasp is a strong combo from the looks of it
Ah okey 🙂
shadowgrasp actually not a meme? 
Are any of the raid trinkets promising?
Doomblade
Never was 🔫
On cloak?
Yep
haven play assa in a while...i see me trolling on heroic raid
Crap, I just lost the game
should we put vers/haste or crit/haste on leggo cloak?
Prolly sim yourself, but afaik its crit haste, look through the guides as well
Simming yourself shall be more important however
I’ll probably go crit haste

lol
ofc not i got the white background
5 cp with deeper and blindside proc, finisher first or ambush?
Finisher
i heard sub's good now on ST
Thats true
Yep
dont have a leggo on my rogue, which one should i craft now before raid opens
until it isnt again
What spec and cov funkeoto
assassin/venthyr
And do you plan on doing anything besides raid
Obedience 
yeah but raid is prio
i dont wanna hold out for obedience i literally have nothing atm
MA for versatility 
Rank 1?
Or not
r1 MA is fine
Rank 4?
If u have tons of soul ash then craft r4
Get a R5 Obedience the week after
Yeah but who wants to do extra torgy for no reason
You don't really need a r4
U don’t need r4
A lot of effort for nothing basically
U don’t need r5
Ah
I mean if ur using it for literally 1 week before obedience
Rank 1 is fine Ye
For MA
But like
Doomblades and zoldyck should be hire in my opinion
But there’s a lot of time
we get obedience at renown 48 is that right?
Yes
and thats 3 weeks from now?
No
2 renown per week?
2
ah
with master assassin infight, do i break stealth with mutilate or with env as a finisher?
Out the Wazoo
Env mut mut env I think
For the legendary not the talent
sorry, talking about talent
Oh
It doesn’t matter
As long as you get 2 mutilates and an envenom in the window
This is for vanish tho
Your opener is always mutilate cause you have 0cp and your first finisher is snd
ty
opener
^
Very wicked in here rn
yah im sure it miniscule
Wicked
Big fan
Wick d
The most ethical opener is shiv with nightstalker and tiny toxic blade 
?
At that point just don’t open
Sit in stealth
Same impact and just as ethical
Hell, according to PETA not harming the animals is the most ethical
It's the hardest you can slam shiv 

Wormhole Generator takes you right to Keeper's Respite!
Like 10yds from Bolvar, jeez
Engineering portal
Oh sweet
Before you had 5 options: 1 for each of the 4 Cov zones, and Oribos
9.1 retroactively added a Korthia portal
Wait sorry, it had a Maw option too
Sick
So pre-9.1 it was Reven, Arden, Bastion, Mald, Maw, Oribos
9.1 added Korthia
But unlike the other 6 which threw you in some far-off spot, Korthia's takes you right to the hub, insane
Been one for 13 years, feels good
alrdy renown 6 pog
is there a reason we use mutilate instead of ambush for opener
Yes
ty
xD
!mut
Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
LOL
lol

Irony Machine is now my favorite
Iron machine
Just does as told. Doesn't ask why
On brand as fuck
So if covenant campaign gives 2 renown per.. The strategy for renown farm now is what.. Farm to roughly 24 then do campaign?
i just want to do more damage idrc why im doing more dmg
!legendary
Idk when it stops giving 2 tbh
Pins
Ur goated
Should give 2
I would honestly just go till like 30-32
To 40
And then you know for sure
But yeah
That's what I did previously
i never figured out the renown farming I really don't think its grindy enough to have to min max it tbh
do content get renown
for future reference is there someone who reviews logs here
Prooooobably
Me and @limber lion do a lot
Yeah there’s a ton of knowledgeable rogues in here
Sure there’s at least someone who will look at it
I love getting better at the game
You found the right place 
True
Specifically at rogue cause I still feel inexperienced, and the fact that this place is very entertaining
can I get 42 renown on venth if i got it on necro this week
yes
rly ;o
Is there a specific piece we want to upgrade from korthia? Kind of like how benthic gear was
Your anima quest resets yeh, and you can just do a random heroic for a chance at a renown

it gives 2 per quest. doesn't matter. 16 renown instead of 8 from the campaign
Oh thats fantastic
I thought it would still slow down
I’ve only had to regrind once and it was months ago so the whole catch-up thing isn’t my area 
I did 3 covenants so far on my rogue 
So is the Fine Razorwing Quill not great even though its an additional bleed
now im venthyr again just swappd bacc
sims say no
oh, rip
I tested it on PTR at ilvl 226 and it was garbage compare to other trinket (also scaled at 226)
So I can already tell you : it sucks.
its a shame, the int one is bonkers
Hello, I am New to rogue and looking for any useful macros. Currently playing necro Lord would it be worth putting spike into a cast sequence macro?
Hmm I was thinking just putting it behind something to save a keybind .
dont use castsequence macro ever
^^^
Best sin macros are mouseovers if you like them and vendetta/flag with on use trinkets and racials
Personally my only mouseover is kick though
is there an ideal usage of bonespike for single target? ranged filler? or more often?
Opener > during gemstone windows > don’t overcap (meaning use before you regen one!)
Gemstones is heirmir’s final trait available at 31, creates a thicc burst window for low cp use every minute
wonderful thanks
racials

What
I dont play orc or troll so i dont use them
But other people might need the info 
Unless im big wrong
I play belf
Yeah thats what i thought
trinkets really depends
🙂
generally i would
not macro them
but u can if u want i guess?
if its like
2 min cd trinket that u will never cast outside of vendetta
very rare
Isnt it always helpful for pull tho
Im not advocating for not binding trinkets
I just think you might as well macro it if its on use right?
if its on use with a 2 min cd
but like
u dont macro "on use trinkets"
skulkers wing
dfv
etc
dfv as well
I mean you could tbh lol, you do use them on CD.
dont macro that
Why do you 2 have the same avatar?
I wouldnt, but you could.
Coinkydink
its not the same dad
Bound my Sire trinket to Mutilate
mine has a helmet on
problem ?
His has better protection in the event of an accident

Yea you’re my special boy so you have a helmet to save yourself from all the people falling for you
my skulkers is bound to mut
That’s uh… brave
Because you wear a helmet
yep
not for plaguefall final boss tho
then i am helmet off mode
my sbs macro dont work no mroe
😦
Wonder why
🤔
Sim channel so peaceful rn
Everyone is in #subtlety because of the sims lol
Little do they know….



What are you killing people with bad takes
i hope im not next
