with group ig
let me specify that i am not trying to unlock the next level
like, i literally did both wings, got rank 5 on one and did the adamanet vault. with 4 people in like 20 minutes or so
i am trying to clear it as fast as possible for the soul ash
you know the 186 soul ash that you get for clearing the same level after already beating it the first time of the week
yes
thats the fastest you're gonna get
i mean, i guess if i wanted to i could just skip right ot the boss stealth wise
but im 225 geared toward sin.
ya thats what i did to farm for doomblade
yeah but even if you die boss hp doesnt reset
i have all the perm torghast upgrades so im usually pretty good
that slime mfer that splits is pretty annoying
either way----
you want to do as much as possible in torghast any way
because if you have the vault unlocked
and do it, i believe it gives you extra Cinder
Would it be worth changing to venthyr from necrolord for assa or is the difference too small?
Vers/mastery shoulders
and necro is still better for assa in m+ right?
when obedience comes out
its top for M+
But
and i want to make this clear
if you want to play necro its not gonna cost you much
like 100-200 dps
i feel you
i never got the generals shoulders
@odd hazel alright thanks
wishing i had better m+ gear sadge
did you mean to link a patchwerk sim?
No problem! the pins have a lot more info then i can relatively think of off the top of my head usually
oops
works on sub channel :/
what were you lookin for?
idk what slot to craft the legendaries for
Thank you 🙂
if you're necro you make zold on pants for M+
@balmy condor is there a reason people are suddenly going dashing lmao
its pure bait
lmao
it's not that far behind at all, but it's just because they see it on a sim
and that's it
why?
just like how jpc followers were running deathly on outlaw even though it was statistically worse
nothing changes either way
more energy
bleeds do more damage
just different leggo
doom is pretty meh gameplay wise and it would suck if itwas our best the whole expansion
poisons*
why i was okay with obedience being the way it was
atleast it effected our gameplay and let us use our main CD more often
I mean it shifts numbers
but nothing changes in playstyle or feel
they're both just "do stuff and it happens"
Feel? you get to whip the enemy more
They don't even do more damage, just crit a lot more, lol
@strange python I play with Dashing, because it's all I have atm
just came back 2 weeks ago
most haven't crafted a dashing at all is what they really mean
first "okay" leggo I got was dashing so I made it, feels okay, but you don't even notice the energy regen. sucks
yeah, just a memein
I actually feels good in m+
its pretty chill for st
-shrug- I never feel energy starved with doomb either mind
^
well, that's good to know because I'm going to be crafting doom most likely
I think I'd like dashing more if it made me feel like I could go ep and no vigor
Can we get covenant leggos next reset or nah?
Yes this coming reset is the covenant leggos
Yeah i know renown 48, but do we get 3 renown
Yes
yes
Sweet, tyvm 🙂
you always do
❤️
should be gucci
@spice spire 
Won’t always have the story quest :p
I mean obv until the story quest is over :^)
Good morning gamer Krey 
just like previously yeah

i got a 15 done quake, wanan bet on what awful item i get? from vault
Flayed toxin
youll get one that has a domination socket in raid
100%
so dumb that blizzard didnt remove items from m+ loot table that have domination sockets in raid, theyre completely useless
or at best used for a few weeks and then thrown away
I did a 14 top end, but got all my slots. Not a true w, but we take those 
i guess, idk. i just feel like we should be able to remove them
like think about it
5 dom socket slots + lego slot
so 6 out of 12 possible slots are useless for mains just because of its slot alone
yeah
thats really shit
its the risk you take bb
except this time you can at least choose, in legion
kind of, except we had 5 and in the past even 6 pieces in a tier set
and only needing 4
It’s an easy phial week 
regardless whether u liked it or not
imagine if i get a 252 phial
week 1
maybe offering an item from raid that lets you slot a domination socket into an M= item?
Buy a lotto ticket then chief because it’s your lucky day
M+
so 6 slots where you didnt want gear
Oof don’t say that lol
u trying to curse the entire discord
Praying for everyone to get phials or daggies 
i would take a shadowgrasp as well
so
curious
do i have to kill sylvanas for her loot to be in the vault?
yes krey, at least once
lame, cant cheese the dagger lmao
What Nate said
after youve killed her, you dont have to kill her again to get her loot in the vault (on that difficulty)
so if you only kill her on normal, you wont get her heroic loot in vault ever until youve killed her
and same goes for mythic ofc
ye, thanks !
my raid wiped for 3 hours on normal pain because....this group is special.
lol
made me want to cry.
i wish i coulda done more this week, i didnt think id play the patch
im still kind of feeling the depression from sin rogue 9.0
i havent fully recovered
im gonna have to pug more then my guild most likely.
mm
did you play 9.0.5?
i did
they were fantastic
EY ion
yeah, just i was into m+ and they still felt a little lackluster. or my gear was just bad stats
idk
where's our promised raid utility
i quit after i got ksm in 9.0
and man let me tell you
9.0 sin rogue ksm, it wasnt fun lmao
i got kicked for being sin more than once
im surprised u played sin rogue
thats idiotic
back then tbh
i got KSM as sin
word dude, play the spec you want
i just meant the being kicked part
people back then were just dumb
i was mindblown, because i was third sin rogue in world to get ksm lmao
just because of how shit it was
i dunno, it was pretty bad, especially before buff #3
and i was getting 15s before buff #2 even
it was definitely pretty bad
absolutely
so soon as i got ksm i was just like :yep: fuck this shit im out
Don’t hurt me like this.
Oxi gonna get double pants
Just let me accept my garbage
I got pants 30% of all my vaults last season 
Especially in m+ where my zold’s goes 
better pants than a domination socket items
dont need pants from vault when u can just buy the boe
The goal is to expect garbage so you’re never disappointed 

thats true, but maybe i dont wanna spend the gold
in how many hours does the reset happen for NA?
a moongaurd gamer
then again, mythic boe farms are easy this tier, yeah?
since theres plenty of trash before first boss
so it might get them on the cheap end
Technically 3 hours assuming maintenance is done by then
im sure even moonguard can scrap together a boe farm group
sometimes mg is so expensive its better to just find one on another server and xfer it
11 is when it resets
for EST
so like, 12? probably 1.
to give a little room for maintenance
i know a lot
of peopel said the sack is super strong from taz
but its just not better then a phial for me.
Am I better off as necro if I’m going to be maxing doom blade?
Or should I still be alright as venth
you should be fine
As I’m re rolling main I’ll not be 100% for a while and obedience sounds like you need to really know your shit to pull ahead of doom blade with the more passive benefit
well yeah it is
and is there much to know? wouldnt it just be flag on cd?
its flag on CD now any way
I’m maybe being a dumbass I just recall saying prio changes etc with obedience
Seeing”
they do not
the only thing that would be remotely different with obe is that it would be worth using finishers early at the end of flag if it was the last thing you could fit in
and that's really tiny detail stuff
everything else is the same, just you push flag more often
Well. Also on a 4 min fight u have 4 usage of flag. As oppose to doomblade where u have 3 usage only. Might be worth simming different time lenght then the casual 5 to know the real diff between both
i mean
realisticaly yes, i could see obed doing better in shorter fights
since the burst would be slightly or a little more higher
unless you dont do m+ at all, i dont see why woud want doomblade over obed
when theyre almost the same in ST and obed is clearly better in aoe
yeah i meant if you were venthyr
¯_(ツ)_/¯
it changes if youre not of course
Is the Deathly Shadows usebug on pull just not worth it on Assa because of master assassin?
it is not
They also fixed it
did they?
From reports i've seen yes
Obe on average will give 10-12% vers at best?
depends on how much stacks you get on average
Ye asme, very rare ocasion i get more than 25%
I'm sure I could probably get more if I played better. But ~22 seems to be pretty much average for me most raid nights.
So we gonna run a poll boys? pve - Doomblade vs Obediance

I'm personally crafting DB first, because I don't know if I'm sticking with Venythyr the entire patch.
our lord and savior bone spike
I know Outlaw reasonably well, and I haven't touched Sub since Legion
convert
Cranking out a r6 DB clock next week, then I'll figure it out.
Right now I'm still using my r4 shoulders
shiiiit
Tormented Lieutenant Nerfs
Incinerator Arkolath
This debuff caused Soulforge Flames to deal high AoE damage and since multiple debuffs were put out at a time, healers were unable to dispel them all.
Melt Soul Increases Fire damage taken by 100% down to 50%
Oros Coldheart
This debuff did very very high single target damage to the afflicted player even on a +15 and now the damage has been nerfed by 25% to be a little more manageable.
Biting Cold The caster afflicts a player with Biting Cold, inflicting 8 ( now 6 ) Frost damage every 1 sec to the target and any nearby players for 10 sec.
Biting Cold The caster afflicts a player with Biting Cold, inflicting 8 ( now 6 ) Frost damage every 1 sec to the target and any nearby players for 10 sec
nope!
None of them were even hard, though...
Whatevs
I expected they fix poison bug and give us free 200 dps
Yeah, the power system in m+ seems extremely disappointing. I was hoping for something more.
You mean Necro dagger.
no nerfs to rogues we in the clear..for now
That plumage is giga awful in comparison.

Plumage probably good during fortified, necrotic dagger during tyrannical
^ taking dagger this week is not the play
Gonna craft new necro leg! Fuck obe!
I’d probs only take Plum if I’m mass pulling, I’ll just stick to stats & stay safe on Fortified. 
we offer 0 utility in raid, so doing a little more damage is fine. I don't know why everyone was worried lol
All we do is live long & deal damage.
Warriors, mage, paladins all almost do as much as us and have much more to offer the raid than just damage like us
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
Consensus, if both played at a high level, Assa or Sub for Fort week? =)
Sub!
sub
What are you better at?
Probably Assa, slightly, but I can pull more dmg on sub it seems almost
Longer fights also benefit Sin though cause stuff actually lives long enough to get all your bleeds out.
Sin on fort weeks is good if tank goes pack by pack
You're not a robot. You don't play at 100% efficiency. Playing what you're better at is almost always better than playing what is mathematically better.
Also longer below 30% phases for Zold.
That is a great point
Sub= easy 2 button giga aoe dps spam. Assa=150 iq fast switching and applying dots. Outlaw = 200iq demigods with less than sub aoe, but with better utility )
I am 100 percent a robot
=)
No but for real thank you all. Some good advice there from everyone.
Dear all, Is it Obedience still worth it after nerf?
depend on fight lowkey
shroud? lol nah yea i know i didnt think wed get gutted. I saw the slight obedience nerf coming though for sure.
Ok I see! Thanks
I’m considering switching venthyr (playing 3 specs but assassination atm). Is everyone switching venthyr while doing mixed content ?(m+\raid). Until now the sims were in favour of necro for m+, but according to the latest ones venthyr is ahead in all content now. 🤔
sin/outlaw necro sin/sub venthyr
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
and if you play only Sin ?
Venthyr
venthyr+obedience
Pla don’t call Outlaw demigods
So no boss tuning came out?
Thx. Still hesitating because I’m mostly running outlaw in m+ and assa in raids 😐.
They’re just backstabbers like us but with more range
How do you reliably get the full 30 stacks of Flag?
I can never seem to get more than 20-25ish outside of lust on pull
you cant as assa
you need a lot of luck with crits to get 30 stacks as assa, really really lucky
They’ve been busy hotfixing sylvanas trying to not bug out
Who said you need to get to 30 Stacks?
do sims take that into account?
Yes they do
of course
i do belive the difference in dps is like around 0.3% for assasination @faint fog
so in the end it's kinda a personal choise i guess
Except for fae, fae kinda doo doo now
i wonder why sub is still ahead in raid on sims , but not in real play
which nameplates are you guys using? looking for something thats good for Tracking bleeds
i track bleeds with WAs not nameplates, for nameplates i use a custom plater profile
Elvui nameplates for me ^^
Plater for me, but yeah, i track bleeds with WAs
Think he meant just 5min patchwerk sims
There sub is ahead
But irl they dont have obedience yet
Nah I read wrong, thought he was talking about assass being behind
So sin is mostly better
In raid
sin easier to execute + higher uptime when you have to run away
the next coming weeks is going to be interresting to see if everything changes in real play and not just sims
i enjoy playing both spec , but with the gearing system of my raid i have to commit to only one spec
so it's kinda hard to choose :/
when i sim with my current gear , sub is still ahead :/
but only on sims Oo
Yes in theory
even on DS i've way better overall dps on assa
But I haven’t seen one sub play like a robot and pull actually more
Okay many thanks 💜
For M+ its different, there they all blast
So its doomblade better now as assa even if you are Venth?

who they ? You mean all spec ? ^^
check newest pin, TLDR....dps difference is ~0.3%
yes??
15% vers looks more rounded and pleasible for eyes, we demand 30 stacks for assa!
1% vers still = 1% damage?
Imma go NF for Toxic Onslaught coma err I mean dream
What's the plan after servers go up for people who want to beef up for raid
Spam m+?
Its 236 ilvl right
sim 246 ilvl droptimizer, spam the dungeon with the best dps increase and upgrade that thing with valor
thats what im gonna do. gotta do some 15 fortified tho
Spam plague!
get the phial. yep
It's only 236 end of dungeon tho
you can upgrade tho
- valor upgrades for 250 valor each
I’m not gonna have to spam PF, my vaults going to have 252 Phial
Oooh true

See you at the top yo
Trinkets are 400 valor

I already have a phial but it's 229
its been a while since i played my rogue, can someone help me understand why sometimes one of my combo points is highlighted?
3 times i think
are you kyrian?
Mines 220 but I don’t use it cause 233 ticking bag of overtuned explosives sims higher
so 1.2k if 400 per?
im leveling, so ya currently in bastion
its the covenant ability for kyrian
rly?
its a "encharged" CP
yes
what do u even have ?
no shot
If you get 252 phial and 252 dagger which do you take

Yes and M+
yeah i cant speak for dslice
i just wouldnt say the trinket is overtuned
i mean its not a bad trinket at all
even simmed it against a 252 phial
and it was like...80-100 behind?
or something like that
1.5% and 2.6%
is a fuck ton lol
im not farming something that i could easily get from M+ and vault
yeah its a personal choice
but people usually scram for 0.5% upgrades
noones alliance
anyways point is, 1.5% is huge
thats not enough for me to farm. if i had it already i'd use it but im not gonna worry about it
2.6% not to mention
since 1.5% isnt huge
def
yall acting like you care about those slight differences
I am Velf Because not Belf
just saying your alliance 😛
Nah, but it ain’t worth stressing over for sure
I just went undead because my first rogue was undead for nostalgia
That difference
90 dps from a single slot in your gear is massive sir
well in this case its 2.6% or 168 cause u always replace the worst slot right
"Look good, play good"
how you gonna farm 252 phial when you arent doing 15s?
Im not playing well as a gnome with gun feet
I’m doing 15s sir
like you dont wanna do it fine just dont pretend its not big
u just do it once per reset thats it its not an endless farm
I’m just saying it’s not@over tuned
literally sylvanas hc dagger from a 233 dagger is 200 dps
Even at 20s you don’t have to min max that hard don’t sweat
and thats the biggest single slot upgrade you can get outside of having-not having dom sockets
I mean, I just said it’s not over tuned
but apparently 2/3 of that is "nothing"
Why wouldn't you do one hard mode, give chance to get 233 for a few low slots and a decent trinket.
I just call it bag of overtuned explosives cause it makes up anywhere from 6.5-8% of my damage on painsmith last night
I’m not sweating. I just don’t want to waste time getting a 233 to just get replaced by a better trinket
u know its about equal to a 246 totem
Yes
beats all raid trinkets at mythic
Only reason I’m blasting through everything is cause we wanna kill the first 3 on mythic every week while progging heroic
phial is better ofc
A trinket you could get next week or 2 months cause shitty m+ luck. again why wouldn't you go for something that doesn't take much effort to attempt once a week.
I could also just spam M+ until I get it
what conduits we run?
prob worth skipping sylvanas too then
My phone is shit at loading these triggered
I think you’re taking this way out of hand lmao
has anyone looked into if sylv normal dagger is worth taking over a heroic generic one?
yeah its just a fair comparison cause u can only do both these once a week
is the proc that much of a gain
It's funny to see you guys argue points that you both agree on but have a different philosophy approaching. Krey isn't saying that a 90 DPS upgrade isn't worth getting, he's saying that it's not worth going out of your way to farm something that isn't your BiS.
It’s really not
In the grand scheme of things, it's not
Not for something that isn’t BiS
Go off fam
If you want to farm for it
Go for it
I already said if. I had it I would use it
BiS is what you get from drops. Can't magically get something because it's BiS. You take what you get and improve as best as you can
one of the reasons im not super excited about switching covs for a minor bump
^this too
its a lot of work when necro isn't that bad
I have had people call me troll for suggesting someone not switch to venthyr if they don't want to.
Yeah man, people are dumb af
its not just the renown levels its leveling the mission table, and getting the teleporter again, its having to collect souls in the maw again.. its tedious
Everyone plays this game as if they are playing in the RWF
very far from the truth
nah i just think if u are in a progress guild no matter what level u should optimize ur character at least a bit to reach the goal
even hc is hard right
not saying 1% will make a diff ofc
You can do mythic as the worse spec
but in all slots it does
yeah
dont worry its EU overtime day its going to a 100 today
98 I believe as of na reset
its at 80 right now
Would i be lying if I said ian/blizz made heroic harder to prolong heroic raider subscriptions
Feels so strange coming from full clearing the heroic raid in one night in previous tiers
its just sylvannas kt has like 800 kills
anything ever come from Ian's acknowledgement that rogues need a raid cooldown of some kind? just blowing smoke?
and you would very rarely full clear hc in 1day, maybe in nya/antorus where it was actually easy
but most other raids didnt get full cleared in 1day, but yeah end boss would usually end up at 500+ 1st week easily
then we had sire into now this
atleast on sire we were 25ilvl lower than the loot he dropped
Yeah
were pulling this boss at 230 and getting wrecked
like a hc guild isnt killing this version of sylvanas even if theyre all 235+
yeah it scales rly hard above
def cant have any dead ppl going in to p3 without CRs available
the damage taken by the raid above 19 players is insane
The boss isn't even really that hard, im pretty sure most people will oneshot the fight with a few more raid ilvls, its just high number requirement
probably tuned for a raid that has 20 domination socket sets
its sad that hc dagger mainhand is lower upgrade than offhand for outlaw 
yesterday someone was talking about sylvanas dagger being horrible on sylvanas fight but i couldnt read everything
yeah cause she dies at 50
is there a statement about it like is a normal dagger just straight out better?
so theres no real "execute"
not building all the stacks
not sure what happens on mythic
should be same fight probably like 16min or something
dont think anything is hidden
it is wayy too long for sure
i guess its an unpopular opinion but i really enjoy the fight
p2 is slightly too long
when vanishing, does it matter if I use ambush or mutliate for that quick burst?
mut is better for multiples reasons (poison application/cp generation)
mutliate gives 4 on crit but ambush gives 3?
!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.
so how many ppl are making obedience tomorrow?
Im making it for my sub but i think will stick with doom for ass
Ima stick with obed on assa I think
since for sub crit / versa / haste are so close that it doesn't even matter
isnt haste usually lowest or is that for aoe only?
Haste is kinda bad for sub
im making my obedience crit vers
I will
but not sure about if r5 obed or doom
Yeah versa is not horrible for sin.
venthyr prefs less haste anyways so works out fine
I’ll be make it for M+ for sure
is it better than zoldycks=
Yes
ah damn thought it wouldnt be after nerfs
For m+, chart in pins
obed is like 1% loss for me rn in st
Hello Obedience gamers. Todays the day!
Eyo boi
is obed still looking like the play for ST and AOE? (Yes doom is like 20dps ahead in ST w/e)
it's more up to date on the gdoc
Sim yourself with it
Well if you are making for sub anyway, doesn't matter.
and on the last update obedience is up ahead in ST as well
i mean i guess my main question is, am i still okay playing venth right now 🤣 unfortunately dont have necro levelled if needing to swap
That’s with end of tier 252 ilvl but yea
Yeah you should be fine
Why would venth not be okay
I’d still sim it and then make your own judgements
By 24 dps
!bis
What were you looking for
haste is the worst for sub tho
i'm going crit/versa for sub/assa obedience, seems better imo
Haste isn’t awful for sub
Haste is fine for sub
sim your stats weights ^^
you will be surprised ^^
This hasn’t really been recommended either this expac
But idk
It’s fine just simming gear gets better results
Yeah gear sim is usually recommended over stat weights
Yo im switching to ass for raid but still need to craft a leggo at rank 4. I do outlaw in m+ so dont need a leggo specific for that. Which leggo should I go for and what slot is best for the raid as a whole?
Stat weights is fine
Cloak doomblade or obedience
people are allergic to the pin button
You ain’t lying
I mean i check the pins thought people might have more insight rather than just pure ST sims if thinking about the whole raid
here we go again...
its all good my g
traitor to the cause beach
I still play sin
All is forgiven
But I enjoy when sub becomes relevant. Have been sin since BC
what first Dyz chard should I put into shoulder item ? (no dyz nuts plz
)
you have multiple?
if you have multiples then damage
havent got any unholy shard yet sadge
Heh, dyz nuts, hadn't thought of that
ohh nvm i thought i was colored group but its not
theres also like only 1 dps one so i feel like its kind of obvious
You can unsocket them
the rng of getting shards is terrible
and reuse
I have 1 total
settle down thanos
and its a cor
i did get the dps frost and blood one tho
Sorry for the bother, but what covenant/legendary should i use? and is assa the go to for m+ and raid?
Pins
lol
Got a rank 3 Shard of Bek, and a rank 3 Shard of Cor, nice for burst and target swapping with a little execute thrown in for good measure

Why people do I don’t know
i only get my info from infexious
Because he is a popular YouTuber and no one else puts out better video guides. He had good production quality
please no
Because he’s wrong. So fucking wrong
Good quality =/= good content
and video guides get outdated quickly
This is a joke right
Videos? His fucking spreadsheet said that subterfuge is the play for SoD
Garbage content
SUBTERFUGE
lel what
I'm not familiar with infexious but you guys seem to treat him like he's some sort of big bad 
SHOW ME THE SIMS!
He does more harm than good
production quality means jack shit
He wouldn’t be so bad if he didn’t talk out of his ass 90% of the time
No offense to the guy who asked but we spend more time fixing what he does wrong
than actually having meaningful discussions
i can hire an editor and make good videos aswell but say only wrong shit
Maybe gotta watch a couple vids and see what's up
When there is literally nothing else on YouTube... It means people watch it when they search for rogue guides
He just comes here steals the sims that’s our TCs and CFs work hard to do. Then spreads misinformation
Iirc the red rogue is a solid source for all 3 specs
Again, searching for video guides on class play is highly skeptical
I never watch video guides
Things change weekly and depending on gear and scenarios, a video format is the worst medium to present that info
- he's a moron
His stat weights are my favorite part. We should all follow his stat weights
An absolute joke
I am not debating that he is wrong in details and doesn't know what he is saying. I'm saying when there is nothing else and he puts out videos people who are visual learners and don't want to read a spreadsheet go to YouTube and search guides and his comes up and has good production. So people believe him
I just can’t with him, and I’m not sorry
If your comeback to being called out on bad info is "duel me bro" or "1v1 me" you've lost
We agree with you Garn
but we just wish he wouldn't
True
Why is internal bleeding a top talent for Sylvanas ? (checking wcl)

he makes it easier to parse, im not too upset with what he does
i just dont listen to it lmao
Did we kill my ability to emote here
So everything still pointing to ven obedience for sin?

no
yes
Close enough
Obedience at 235 is siming as a 117dps loss for me over doomblades (light movement)...are you all still making obedience as your first lego? I do a lot of m+ and mythic raid
It's a busted profile
Then follow your sims instead of random people online.
ahh okay this is my first xpac raiding, what profile should I sim? I'm using topgear on raidbots
Patchwerk
or DSlice for M+
there are some other scenarios where you do patchwerk 5 targets and play with fight length but that's a bit more indepth
If you use dslice make sure you turn on certain buffs. Cause usually you don’t have some
thank you!
Off*
Yeah I’m max necro with DB so the gain with ven obedience would need to be substantial to swap I feel like. Everyone’s saying go obedience I’m just not certain any further nerfs wont happen
I doubt it’ll get touched again
The nerf we had put it in line
Expect ones like Hysteria to get the bat
So my rogue just dinged 60, won't play much today cause it's my birthday
What lego should i go for? i'm necro atm but can swap
Necro is fine if you plan on staying sin/outlaw
Is obedience the go to for everything?
What content do you do?
M+ and plan on raiding too
Obedience is Venthyr only
Hopping in with a 190/210 Zolds then Doomblade next aren't bad options
Obedience is bis for m+ and slightly lower on single target
Depends how much you want to farm torghast
why would they nerf it anymore? lol this justification is inaccurate
either you want to go whats strongest or you accept that you dont
@thorny pond why?
Because they already nerfed it once? Who’s to say they won’t again. Wdym
Why what bud?
Should i play Venthyr Sin or Sub?
Play whichever spec you want
Why depends on how much i farm thorgast
Soul Ash
If you stay sin, then necro or venth are fine choices
if you wanna play sub, you can be necro it's not as optimal
and will be more leggo farming
Are specs so close in dps?
Close enough
I will keep necro assa atm then, if they change something i'll change
Sub is getting a "zenkai boost" this week with Obedience but both have strengths and weaknesses in popular content
Will they ever make night fae good again 
zenkai boost?
Sadge
anime joke
DBZ it where it originated at
I heard sub will get stronger tho
Q: How come Shadowgrasp Totem is ranked so highly for us on bloodmallet?
Yea I just said that lol
it do dam
Will sub sim over 9000 tho?
sub will sim over 900
it does good damage
So are you all still making obedience to 249 as your first lego?

Nope
starting small but ye
I'm glad I already made doomblade
Idk about sims tbh, i'm kinda new
I'll probably make doomblade just for flex, because making a cov specific one is too much commitment for me
Tbh I’ll prob make it at 235 because I most likely won’t be making r5 or 6 for a little
how do you use flag in m+ on packs?
before a finisher, like normally
you dont need to dump envenons to the flag target, just use before a finisher and play a normal AoE rotation
maintain CT and spread rupture/garrotes
Yeah you don’t need to
aight thanks that what i was wondering
What spec are u gonna main guys?
Sin
There is no generic rogue one i think
Sin
whats the play for this week in raid? Sin or sub? Also, if venth, should i buy an obedience cloak now?
anyone know if on guardian feinting obliterate removes that damage or just splits it against every one else soaking?
Does good damage and it's hasted. So if you look at most classes/specs with any kind of haste ramp it will probs be near the top if not the best ST trink
Get obedience, try both and play whichever feels better to you
ty!
is any one able to help me with some raid logs
cant figure out why me evenom does so much elses dmg than other peoples
link them
thats a exmaple of someone doing good
then there is me
but the average evenom dmg is what seems really low to me
are you shivving, vanishing with full CPs (with MA talent) and then getting as many evis in during your shiv window?
Secondly they have WPS conduit, you don't
your log is 1min30 longer as well
does WPS make that much of a diff?
we were skipping half the add's by just healing thru them
also i got told to just use shiv on cd and not pool for max evenoms
If you aren't envenoming inside of shiv/EP windows that's a bit of damage right there
You should still make an effort to go into shiv windows with high CP and energy
so try pool before shiv is off cd?
best practice is to try and sync flag/vendetta/vanish+MA with shiv, with as much energy as possible
if you need to wait on shiv and hold your other CDs for a few seconds, that is ok as well
kk
Never hold shiv
is it possible to get more than 3 envenoms off during shiv?
dude you have ForeverGuy in guild, just leech of his knowledge lol
Never hold shiv or any CD really
No he's comparing against Guy's guild
ohhh
word
Your opener looks fine
agi pot will also add a tiny bit to envenoms in that window
vs PF
Yea outside of shiv windows keep it up
ok
But biggest thing you could minmax @nimble tartan is to get more envenoms in shiv windows
And pooling in general
you want to maintain high EP uptime
since you don't get the flat finisher % that DS does
Every sin rogue ever could do better
I feel as if I don’t give it enough attention
Maxing EP is like min minmax endgame for that talent setup but will creep up
if you can get 3full CP envenoms (assuming Vigor) in the shiv window youre golden
You want to finish at max -1
is it ok to refresh bleeds early in prep for shiv window?
Never full CP if you can help it
like reapply bleeds early and pool to 70-80 for shiv?
why me ping
cause he gotta midmax
why not finish max cp?
Energy regeneration
lol @odd hazel i dont think we are on the same page
i think full CP envenoms are huge
finishing at 4 is better than 5?
You do you
i dont believe in pooling though…
Yes, you waste energy finishing at max
i forge my own path through world of warcraft by spamming my buttons at my pleasure
Should I craft obedience or not, Im assasi in raids and outlaw M+
You want to finish at max? Max is better than max-1 but you finish at max-1 still
^
hows it a waste of cp if u get the extra xp from a passive for free
energy regen*
cos u get the extra for passive crits right?
so a mutilate hitting for 3 instead of 2 wont cost u anything surely?
You don’t ever want to waste CP.
Just finish at max if you get it, or finish at max-1 if you end up on it
Obedience will be better in cleave fights for raid
It’s not hard to understand really
The only time you would ever want to “waste” CP is using shiv at max CP to keep it on CD
The whole point of max -1 is that you don't use mut to go from 4 to 5 CP. That's it.
It’s also a waste of energy
tldr overcapping CP is bad
no one ever said to overcap CP
Trying to always get max on shiv will lead to that
i just said i try for max CP envenoms...
Trying will lead to over capping
What do you even mean by this, that's just confusing.
Through power, I gain victory. This is the sith way
It would be a waste of mut which will cost energy
If I’m at max-1 and need to refresh garrote, is there a difference between garrote-envenom vs envenom-garrote and if so where is the wasted energy coming from that you mention?
or Krey's way
Letting your bleeds drop means you failed as a sin rogue
It's more a waste of CP which is also bad, so it's the same thing. You wouldn't mut to get max because its over capping, nothing to do with energy
Wasn’t trying to say you were wrong just adding to it
Kinda moot, and makes it more confusing. That's all. If you don't overcap CP, you will save on energy and increase the deeps
^
It’s the same concept. Don’t do it. It bad. More dip n dots
If I’m at max-1 and need to refresh garrote, is there a difference between garrote-envenom vs envenom-garrote and if so where is the wasted energy coming from that you mention
this was more the question i was getting at
Refresh garrote then dump
Ye
lol
!guide
Obviously max finishers are good but don’t openly try for them, finish at max-1 and you’ll be golden. If you get a max with out over capping GG
Coming home to assassination today boys, only spec I've ever orange parsed with so here's hoping my elite "keep rupture and garrote up" gameplay technique will be sufficient
In this opener, if I get a Blindside proc off 1st or 2nd Mut do I just ignore it or where would I fit it in?
are people crafting the tier 5 legendary or just waiting for tier 6?
Finish opener, dump evenom and then use proc
Don’t mut or you’ll waste a proc if you get another
I’ll just be waiting
So it's okay to let the Blindside proc expire?
Dont u use Vendetta before rupture
You would hold till after shiv+ vanish - envenom
Yeah, you would vendetta - flag - rupture
i m gonna do it but still unstable if i either to do obedience or continue to doomblade
If per say you get off of first mut, I would use instead of second mut.
So mut -Snd - ambush - garrote
Won't you lose a CP then? (3 from Blinside crit vs 4 from Mut crit with MA talent)
Just rupture i think
I do it before or after first garrote. Prob not optimal but i feel like i get energy starved if i dont.
I'm waiting. If they don't increase the crafting drop rate it seems pretty nuts to burn twice as many crystals just for a one week minor ilevel bump
having more energy in the opener is prob worth more than that one cp and you don't risk munching it
The increase in ilevel is super minimal, especially for a cloak slot
I am thinking of just waiting too, I craft my own cloaks so might just sell all my cloaks this week for profit
@fleet anchor are you vent? if so are you gonna build obedience?
I am not Venthyr yet, I'm not going to swap until next week
i am making r4 obedience
Necro is actually really good this week because they get Carver's Eye 😛
and waiting
Necro sims higher than Venthyr this week for me lol
