rogue seems pretty safe all things considered, we're not one shotting in pvp either so no community outcry yet lol

woeful cipher
#

well if it doesnt get nerfed feels like venth is the play for sin/outlaw... venth wins both ST/dungeon for sin, and wins ST for outlaw, and is only 300-400 behind in dungeon for outlaw

#

and it wins by 600 for sin in both categories

inner temple
#

its the play "for rogues" across the board and because they attempted to balance cov's previously thats the only "risk" i see of it getting any nerfs

thoughts on today's daily reward? the trinket

#

idk whats it sim for?

#

what quest gave a trinket? cause i didnt get one lol

#

seems nice for Sin

#

go back to korthia agrippa XD

#

its the wanted poster quest for today

yea mine did not give me a trinket

#

😦 sad panda

#

chance on hit to cause a 900ish bleed over 4 sec

#

should synergize well with certain talents

what should i put doomblade on?

#

Guys, why wowhead and iv guides say to open with anything but ambush ?

tribal marlin
#

In ST mutilate will apply the poison twice and will generate more CP

#

In AoE, Garrote obviously, but FoK will apply poison to all target it hit as well

pure skiff
#

ok thx for info

copper pine
#

i hate this covenant shit ... feel like i done the wrong choice with Necro for raiding -.-

thorn crater
#

You will be fine

wild swallow
#

it only matters for world first

#

I heared valor is going to be reset on the next reset ? So best to spend it all on upgrades or something else ? Or am I mistaken ?

It's ok my dude if you are not pushing wf and stuff play what you like feels comfort for also other aspects of the game

is it a safe call to create doomblade for raiding as necro assa?

gusty mirage
#

its a safe call to have doomblade for anyone who wants to raid as assassination

wooden crag
#

cheers

hollow yoke
#

@inner temple ty

copper pine
#

took doomblade on cloak or shoulders ?

EP only sims 29dps worse than blindside for me so fuck blindside 😛

@balmy condor Is outlaw up to date in your spreadsheet? Trying to understand differences between yours and Solo's pin in the outlaw section.

#

oops meant for this to be in WoW General

I can rerun in a bit

errant plover
#

he's simming higher though, just wondering why, fist weapon maybe?

#

interesting, looks like he's got marileth ahead

#

maybe it's just recent sim updates afterall

gusty breach
#

doomblade is similar/ very close(on single tho)

royal lantern
#

bro chill lol, people want flying so they can fly, thats it

#

Flying for callings dude

gusty mirage
#

why is this conversation being revived 30 minutes later

placid cobalt
#

sorry guys, when simming conduits for ST assa maim and magle come above WPS by about 30 dps, when using doomblade ofc on current gearsets. does anyone else experience this?

gusty mirage
#

???

woeful cipher
# gusty breach doomblade is similar/ very close(on single tho)

yeah I mean were talking close margins and min/maxing at this point, it looks like nadija Doomblade is like 300-400 behind obedience at the moment, the gap is massive for sub.. and I worry venth overall might see blanket nerfs given whats going on with other classes

gusty breach
#

didnt you say sin? for sub its a bigger diff

woeful cipher
#

I did, 300-400 is for sin

gusty breach
#

400 out of 11k?

woeful cipher
#

yes, as I said, close margins

gusty breach
#

surely the boss mechanic will influence the dps more at this stage

fallen arch
#

Thats why you take sims with a grain of salt

gusty breach
#

hell, if this is xymox, you will 100% be influenced more by boss

woeful cipher
#

well yeah but we cant make a decision regarding that, doomblade/obedience is a decision we can make

#

so im not worried about the things I cant change

gusty breach
#

i'm saying, make a value call on what 0.1% you think it does not matter in the raid

woeful cipher
#

i mean its 3.5%

#

its not 0.1

gusty breach
#

i didnt do the math

woeful cipher
#

yes its close margins, but its not meaningless

gusty breach
#

maybe you right

#

my point being, that if they nerf obidience(which might happen) we have back-up plan

#

whats the diff in dps between venthir and necro?

woeful cipher
#

assuming obedience nerf: venth wins ST by ~200, and necro crushes venth in dungeon

fallen arch
#

So we can all go back necro

gusty breach
#

oh, so you looking at m+ and raid, then zoldic is better no?

placid cobalt
#

if they nerf obedience to the point that is below doomblade necro is the pick overall

#

200 dps on pure ST is not worth loosing on every single other damage profile and situation imo

woeful cipher
#

yes main concern is raid, but I also m+

tough trail
#

isnt sub becoming a thing now tho even for m+, I might be wrong but its looks good so far.

woeful cipher
inland cape
#

Has Blizzard said they are gonna nef?

placid cobalt
#

tbh what i did, i swapped form necro to venthyr before patch and hit 40, now im 42 as venthyr, easily able to go back if nerfs happen

tough trail
#

Yeah same, Im also scared the venthyr leggo will be nerfed and I just changed covenant for no reason

pale fossil
#

Just general fears haha

placid cobalt
#

i think thats the most effective thing is to have both at 40 to easily be able to swap as needed

wild swallow
#

just "meaningful choices"

gusty breach
#

i'm a shitter, so i can pick worst covenant, and still perform my natural obligations....be a floor inspector

placid cobalt
#

with that said, looking at sims it doesnt matter i think wether they nerf venthyr or not, sin still looking pretty strong

#

for raiding at least

wild swallow
#

necro lets you play outlaw too no?

pale fossil
wild swallow
#

for m+

fiery mauve
#

just play sin m+ 😄

gusty breach
#

worst feeling

inland cape
#

I play outlaw mainly and I am venthyring just cause I hate SBS

woeful cipher
#

venth outlaw doesnt even look that bad right now

gusty mirage
placid cobalt
#

like an obedience nerf will impact sub way more than it does assa, thats for sure

wild swallow
#

sub still paying for the sins of Zul

#

RIP

brittle nest
#

for assas is double daggers the way to go? Or can you do dagger MH sword OH and still be effective like sub? I switch between Assas and Outlaw so it would be easier gearing wise

gusty mirage
#

you can't mutilate without 2 daggers

#

so yes

brittle nest
#

aaah gotchya

strange python
#

I wear a staff

placid cobalt
#

but with all that said, idk if nerf will happen, blizzard did say that they are aware that rogue is in a weird spot with not having utility and all, and yet they added no utility

gusty breach
#

but....shiv

placid cobalt
#

so they know we need to be pumping to be viable basically

gusty breach
gusty mirage
#

yeah guys they fixed our soothe utility

#

#blessed

gusty breach
#

i tried to sell this bs to my raidleader

gusty mirage
#

lmfao

gusty breach
#

😄

placid cobalt
#

i was hoping for some poison rework that actually did something, but nothing

#

so i doubt we'll get nerfed much

#

but blizz is blizz so who knows

wild swallow
#

blizzard is known for killing specs with one tweak

gusty breach
#

if sub takes outlaw in m+, its gonna be lit, atleast for 1 season

wild swallow
#

outlaw at the start of legion

strange python
#

what if they do stuff like with warlock? Sub single target, Assa council and Outlaw aoe 👀

wild swallow
#

sub with the talents in uldir

placid cobalt
#

at the very least with sub being absolute top and all they might take the heat off assa, which is still looking insane strong amongst melee specs

fiery mauve
#

sub being absolute top of what

#

ST

#

?

gusty breach
#

top chad spec

#

obv

placid cobalt
#

according to sim profiles yes, if you believe that sort of thing

fiery mauve
#

so in only ST?

wild swallow
#

no one does

placid cobalt
#

i mean, sims assume absolute best gear with 259 sylv daggers and all

inner temple
#

thats kinda the point lol

placid cobalt
#

so for 99% of people they will mean nothing for months until they actually start approximating what bis gear looks like

wild swallow
#

hwo many patchwerk fights are there in raids though

placid cobalt
#

it is and isn't, sure sub sims more than anyone else assuming u got 2x 259 daggers with special effects, but how is it gonna hold up in progress when you got HC daggers from dungeons? it's something worth considering

inner temple
#

2 ish? terrague / battery guy

wild swallow
#

thats a lot of stipulations

woeful cipher
#

ive heard raid is mostly cleave type situations, setting up well for sin? this true?

thorny pond
#

#

or go support Max and watch the videos

fiery mauve
#

just play both depending on fight pog

#

good thing they both use daggers

#

thanks once again for all of your hard work and the sims and stuff @balmy condor feelsloveman

gusty mirage
#

also thanks for being you @balmy condor

#

Stronger Oxi will always hold a place in my heart

placid cobalt
#

@inner temple what i mean to say is that the number we see in sims assume absolute perfect gear from the next tier, the reality we'll see in logs in the first few weeks might be much different than that. Therefore i wouldnt go assume that we'll get nerfed right off the bat, but again, we'll live and see

thorny pond
#

No spec magically scales because more gear vs other specs

gusty mirage
#

BEACH SAID THE BAD WORD

thorny pond
#

Yea because for the last 15 minutes they've been dancing around it

tough trail
#

hmm well, now u can go back to a covenant for free, so might aswell go venthyr and switch back if hell breaks loose

#

I think imma try it

#

yolo

gusty mirage
#

fuck it, worst case just switch back

#

idk why people are freaking out lol

thorny pond
#

or quit

tough trail
#

yeah 15 mins into new covenant campaigngrind theres a possibility that I will alt f4

#

but thats up to see

gusty mirage
#

ngl don't blame you

balmy condor
#

I think the funniest thing I’ve seen about the profiles we use for sims, is one camp goes “oh well early in the tier the gear is different so you’ll see XYZ”, and then there’s the people that go “oh but sin scaled harder with gear so it was good at the end of the tier but not the beginning”, and both camps don’t get it

inner temple
gusty mirage
#

the gear is the reason, disregard the months of buffs to make assassination playable

balmy condor
#

hit me with it skip

humble ginkgo
balmy condor
#

it's your time

thorny pond
#

"Why am I bottom of the meters? Isn't sub supposed to be best according to sims?"

You are 220 and rest of your group is nearly 240, you were dead and did your rotation wrong. But sure it's the sims

balmy condor
#

HELL YEAH

Yo scaling boi, show me a spec that didn't scale with gear in the past 15 years?

@sweet timber just play whatever work you enjoy more sin is not far behind and way ahead on 2 and 3 targets

gusty mirage
#

plus if you like assassination more than subtlety you'll perform better

#

insane I know

arctic hare
#

Its a proven fact, transmog makes you do better too😂

inner temple
arctic hare
#

Undoubtedly

#

What if the mog makes you look like a god, is that more for sin than others?

final sky
#

if u have a green mog ur poisons do 50% more dmg

#

even if they dont do dmg

#

they do if u have a green mog

arctic hare
#

lol

#

Yes

#

Makes perfect sense

strange python
#

now I know why I do so much damage in my green necro mog!

arctic hare

also, what missives do i use for doomblade? i use crit haste for zoldyck so is it the same

#

sin is great and gear will put sub slightly ahead

#

the mentioned 2 things are the main factors in bringing subtlety ahead

#

also sin still has this

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

vestal wren
#

!pb

pliant nest
#

and this bug is included in the sims?

vestal wren
#

keep in mind that sin is still a strong spec and the diffrence is probably not this big during early progression

vestal wren
velvet haven
#

I did notice that while.doing ksm grind this week, i just thought they changed it to be like that

#

As it was quite reproducible

timid talon
#

tbh, if you're raiding mythic you already know that sub isn't going to be the spec to play during prog even if it does sim ahead. I dont think we'll see people really playing sub until farm when you know 100% when you'll have downtime

gusty breach
#

i mean, raiding mythic can strech more than rubber, i raid mythic..but my guild is like top1k or .w.e

oak sky
#

It never goes away pepehands

vestal wren
#

sin is the better choice if sub isn't noticable ahead

#

at least for heroic week sin seems the better choice

timid talon
#

exactly, idk why people are so focused on sims lol

gusty breach
#

but, if you popoff as sub in heroic, they take you in mythic

#

stonks

vestal wren
oak sky
#

Just play what you want or what youre better at or what your guild tells you

fiery mauve
#

i would imagine, i would hope, that people know, realistically, sin has always been a better prog spec

#

but subt stonks

oak sky
#

Not that complicated

@oak sky yeah that's why I play assa necro since release 👀

I mean i played venthyr sin from release, but when i heard necro would probably be better i swapped it so i could pad and maybe find a guild with better parses

But now i get to go back

#

its ok ive played all 4 covs

#

imagine not having balanced covs

oak sky

Lol

#

Ill end up leveling necro after 9.1.5 im sure

Whenever im done with mythic prog

velvet haven
#

Gives u an outlaw option

oak sky
#

Im at 36 rn

velvet haven
#

Assuming ur back to ven

oak sky
#

But of course im gonna instantly swap back to venth when im home

#

what is the fastest way to get back to rn42 if i do swap?

rapid flame
#

hm, i have found and item which does ~60k damage every minute for 3 minutes and doesnt put anything else on cooldown, would using such item in a raid enviroment be considered exploiting?

velvet haven
#

Very likely yes lol

grand vine
#

Hey team what do you think about Essence of Bloodfang + assa ? raid

atomic estuary
#

hey does any1 know if they implemented the free covenant swap hotfix yet? Im currently on the fence about capitalizing on that free covenant switch by switching to venth just to speed farm renown up to 40 or 42/44 to have it ready for if obedience doesnt get nerfed, and then switch back to necrolord by july 13th (mythic week)

thorny pond
#

They have

rapid flame
#

It's an item from a mob, it has a low duration but you can delete it and have it sit in your mailbox farm 1 > delete 1 > and restore 50 stacks and have them sit in your mail xD

thorny pond
#

Go for it and then come watch us stream when you get banned lol

frosty cedar
#

how would deleting it put it in your mailbox

halcyon blade
#

restore item i assume

rapid flame
#

think i'll save it for reclears lol

oak sky
#

prayge this sounds unethical

cobalt pelican
#

you probably just can't use it in raid

#

and if you can the logs will just get invalidated anyway

rapid flame
#

it works fine in CN

cobalt pelican
#

there was similar stuff in nyalotha where you could port into the raid with the lightning rods from the assaults

timid talon
cobalt pelican
#

but they fall into 2 categories

robust sandal
#

guys i got this trinket from korthia. will it count as a bleed that buffs doomblade?

cobalt pelican
#

significant enough to get you banned

#

or insignificant enough to do nothing and just have invalidated logs for your entire guild

robust sandal
#

so its pretty bad as a trinket then

thorny pond
#

Other trinkets have no synergy and are quite good

#

I only have MA legendary and 2k soul ash. Planning on making r4 obedience mythic week. Should I craft a 210 doom made for heroic or just stick with the MA leggo?

velvet haven
#

I'm in a similar thing where I only have zoldyk crafted

#

so it depends, how hard are u going? aotc week one? a couple bosses? what? @plush remnant

#

Where we're trying to aotc week one I'll be sending soulash to craft doomblade 3 (best i can do this moment) then obi 4 when its available

#

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.

you should craft db asap

spice spire
#

no i mean what do you mean what ilvl should you craft?

#

as high as possible asap

olive peak
#

i mean if the venthyr cov leggo is not gonna get nerfed

#

its probably a good idea to switch to that

#

thats why im thinkin on making it 210

#

to save soul ash

#

if im gonna switch

#

u can just wait

pseudo hamlet

I'd rather wait tbh

olive peak

so make it at 225

decent middle ground of saving soul ash and ilvl

210 is fine

210-225 on a cloak

i made it 225

at 216 ilvl with 194 offhand and 220 MH and i sim 6300 dps lol

@balmy condor you saw they fixed DS pre pull for assa

But not for sub

I was thinking ep vigor for better burst in the phylactery

#

Even though bs/ds is more damage through a fight

viscid spear
#

Dps went up to 6070 with BS/DS

oak sky
#

Nice

thorny pond
#

It's not that much of a loss

oak sky

I mean its a gain in multitarget

Correct

viscid spear

Restored my 207 neck, running another sim with it and BS/DS

quasi scroll
#

any new crafted daggers?

oak sky
#

But i was thinking like on sludge we went ep vigor

#

Maybe on kt we would as well because theres a smaller phase where we need some more damage

thorny pond
#

My gear is low haste right now so that gap is pretty significant

#

however at more realistic haste levels it's much closer

thorny pond
#

There ya go, we found ya 200 dps

viscid spear
#

I'm embarrassed peeposad

#

If they're cheap on your realm, the 230 crafted necks can be real chads

You need me to break down the LK rotation lol

oak sky
#

I dont think i wouldve liked it then

#

I was too young

#

Even now idk if i would like it much

thorny pond
#

You would've played HAT sub then

oak sky
#

I dont even think i wouldve liked the game then

#

I think legion wouldve been the perfect time for me to start

thorny pond
#

HFC is the birth of modern WoW

oak sky
#

That was in wod right

thorny pond
#

But back then raid teams were closer, you usually ran 10 and 25s so you're 10m split was like your family

#

Every week we'd do 10m Sarth 3d, malygos, naxx and ulduar, then 25m same with ulduar HMs

oak sky
#

The thing about legion is not only is it modern wow but i was also in high school then so i think i wouldve appreciated the game at that point

viscid spear
#

I raided ICC as a Prot Pally, lot of fun mass-stunning mobs

thorny pond
#

Game design now is very formula based, back then they did shit because it sounded cool and fun

soft shale
#

yea limited tries was not fun

thorny pond
#

Big red button, fuck it, lets add it. Honor Among Theives would never go live now

soft shale
#

but it was challenging

thorny pond
#

HAT spec now would be so busted with how in-depth we get with TC

#

When i was a kid i wouldve definitely played sub rogue if for some reason i played wow

#

Ninja poggers

kind talon
#

Pirate PiratePoggers

#

I just thought swords and pistols were cooler than daggers

#

Sue me

oak sky
#

I either wanted to play sub or sin rogue or havoc

#

But i heard havoc was a hero class

kind talon
#

Idk why assassination rogue can only use daggers tho

#

Like

oak sky
#

And sub was hard kekw

#

So sin it was

kind talon
#

Shouldn’t an assassin be trained in all weapons

#

And all poisons too?

#

Like, instant poison? Kekw

oak sky
#

Rogue is definitely my favorite class still after having tried at least 1 spec of like all the classes tho, so im glad to be here

kind talon
#

:3

oak sky
#

Mut i guess

#

More bleeds more "muh thematic" Sinscheme

kind talon
#

Yeah that’s also what I don’t understand

#

Should be “torturer rogue”

oak sky
#

LOL

kind talon
#

Am I wrong?

fallen arch
#

I like it

oak sky
#

Assassin does bleedy and poisony

kind talon
#

My guy your main attack is called “mutilate”

#

If you were just aiming to kill

oak sky
#

But also mutilate very true

kind talon
#

That’s not necessary

fallen arch
#

Assassination should be quick and dirty, we now bleed and poison our victims slowly to death

oak sky
#

Called assassin, yet cant execute

kind talon
#

Quick and clean

oak sky
kind talon
#

Dirty is for outlaws man

fallen arch
#

With zoldyck we can 😁

oak sky
#

Obedience+sylv daggers sub is literally better though

fallen arch
#

Literally blessed by a family of assassins

kind talon
#

Yes let me just lose 10% dps for “muh execute”

For now

Poggers!!!

strange python
kind talon
#

True

fallen arch
#

Get ohtta here pirate

oak sky
#

Poison is definitely on brand for assassin

#

So is the ability garrote

#

Rupture doesnt really strike me as a killing blow but whatever

#

I swear the best thematic thing for this class would be strong, built in execute

strange python
#

did we play with poisons in Assassins Creed? monkahmm

oak sky
#

Did i play assassins creed monkahmm

dull cloak
#

yes

kind talon
#

Garrote and “deadly poison” make sense

#

“Rupture” and “mutilate” don’t fit the theme imo

#

Don’t get me started on “shiv”

#

Kekw

oak sky
#

Shiv is just some roguey shit

kind talon
#

True

oak sky
#

I guess rupture is too

#

You slice a dude running away

#

Guys ass bleeds out because you clipped an artery

kind talon
#

LOL

oak sky
#

I want execute in my kit

#

Give me it blizzard

Make my class feel like its killing shit

I want my numbers higher when the boss health is low

I find that i often forget garrote is a button after the opener OMEGAKEKW

It’s better I think to just be doing FoK > Rup/CT/Envenom

oak sky
#

Ill be hitting the highest prio target and realize it doesnt have a garrote kekw

trail locust
#

haha put garrote

#

@limber lion do you use garrote on subtitle rouge

limber lion
#

Garrote is one of your highest priorities

#

Here's an example

#

Look at the rotation

#

It's casting garrote literally on cooldown

strange python
#

subtitle rogue? it's called subletty rogue pepebday

limber lion

Once every 6s

I guess we remember garrote now peepochrist

It’s literally free damage

I need good WAs

limber lion
pale fossil
limber lion
#

I'm a big vampire boy now

limber lion
#

Literally

#

Garrote is the free-est ability ever

#

You don't need CP to use it

#

You just slap it

fallen arch
#

Its a builder bruh

limber lion
#

You don't build for it

fallen arch
#

Almost like shiv

limber lion
#

You literally get free energy and damage

#

for nothing

kind talon
#

It’s less punishing than rupture

#

If they die with it on them

limber lion
#

You spend so much more on Rupture

kind talon
#

By a lot

oak sky
#

Builder on cd is like always high prio

kind talon
#

Ye

oak sky
#

Right?

limber lion
#

Well it depends

kind talon
#

It depends which builder

#

Kekw

oak sky
#

Explain peepostudy

limber lion
#

And what situation

kind talon
#

Garrote is prio builder

limber lion
#

You don't exactly use garrote on CD in single target.

oak sky
#

Well yesh

#

Yeah

kind talon
#

When they don’t have it or in pandemic

trail locust
#

i use is that okay

pale fossil
#

I thought it was like Shiv in AoE where the lower CP generation per GCD makes it less worthwhile.

kind talon
#

Sbs is prio builder when they don’t have it or nearly overcapped or in gemstone

pale fossil
#

But clearly I was wrong haha

kind talon
oak sky
#

Shiv is worth too

kind talon
#

Shiv is prio for singletarget

limber lion
#

on cooldown

#

Even on like 6 targets

kind talon
#

But do you

#

Press shiv or garrote

oak sky
#

In aoe

kind talon
oak sky
#

Because

#

We slam it poggers

#

I vote shiv

Slam the shiv prayge

In AoE?

What is the reasoning behind using SBS in hermir crit windows

#

Just big dammy?

#

Or the cp chance

shy dust
#

It’s worth more damage

#

And it’s not like you’re punished by over capping

limber lion

You crit = more damage and more combo points

very coool

kind talon

?

Are you sure?

Using very efficient builder during increased crit buff = good

How good is it in 2m with nightstalker

Not great.

limber lion

But it's not exactly 1k more dps

Or something increase

How much % 🤔

limber lion

Just stay away from Deathly as sin

That's all.

So how does KSM work now that they split ratings for Tyr and Fort?

You need 2k rating i think

15s on each is like 2002 rating or something very close

there was also a patch where they added this item called "obedience" or someting

ye sub may be worth to check out

Definitely, I'm decent at Sub but it definitely requires more brain power than Assa currently

#

I figured that just sticking to Assa and not having to ever think about rotation or anything would be good

wise gull
#

sub is pretty fun

limber lion

But 800 dps is 800 dps.

it feels awful if you mess up though

has nothing to do with obedience???

hello?

nocturne geode

obv those rogue will have obedience

#

4head

kind talon
#

so what ur saying is

#

if hunter was top simming class

#

and they were paying for legendary raid bow or the quiver

#

because thosse items were as much as a 5% dps increase

nocturne geode
#

more likely

kind talon
#

it would be the legendary's fault

#

that the item is too powerful

viscid spear
#

One of the two hunters in my guild went Survival this patch but will still have MM as her loot spec for Sylvanas.
Her best bow is 194 so if she gets that bow the other hunter's gonna be pissed

Had an Outlaw Rogue raiding with us last expac and he bonus-rolled the Carapace dagger. I still hadn't gotten one as Sin. He decided to go Sin the following week after buying another dagger off the AH.

wasnt the corruption actually good?

On the Carapace dagger? Yeah

You have survival hunters in your guild

He also had two Unguent Caresses at that point but was bored with Outlaw

Then we had a trial Rogue b-roll the dagger and leave the following week, never heard from again

Getting the dagger for your rogues is something the top guilds would prio regardless of what cov is strong for us

So anyone can get the quiver cloak, but is it really good for Hunters? What's it do and how does Survival work with it?

No clue

They probably figured out whether or not survival is cucked or not

no

But why

#

huh

hollow river

have to change loot spec

cause dispatch doesnt work with dagger mh i guess

you can't get swords with sub loot spec

thats teh game

Hi ! Playing EP + Vigor with Obedience is a big loss of dps? (Cause i pref this build)

oak sky
#

Like sin loot spec should absolutely be dagger only because thats all we use

#

But like its so weird how you cant go into bosses or vault with a chance for either as outlaw or sub

shut garnet
#

@strange python if you sim obedience on cloak in gear compare, you can copy the code for it and paste it below ur simc in top gear

kind talon
shut garnet
#

and then compare shit there as if the rank 4 legendary is already in your bags

#

^^

kind talon
#

like, i enjoy having fury prot and arms lootspecs as a warrior

#

it makes ur loot spec actually matter lol

oak sky
#

Guess so

kind talon
#

at the end of the day, blizzard i think designed outlaw to use 1h weapons

hollow jolt
#

which soulbind on kyrian is best for sin?

oak sky
#

I guess it lets you focus when you want to

kind talon
#

and the dagger oh is an unintended optimization thats not a bug

oak sky
#

Idk i feel like outlaw having 2 different weapons is cool though

#

Makes you feel disjointed

#

Like a pirate

Dagger in your teeth sword in your hand type shit
