Solution: SBS and kidney shot.

#

that comes up so much

fleet atlas
#

On some bosses you can also distract before pull to turn them around.

limpid plinth
#

Ye i usually do distract

amber mountain
#

Anyone else feeling a bit of a void in their daily routine with no RTWF going on?

deft wagon
#

Can someone explain to me why everyone seems to run Elaborate planning and vigor instead of blindside and deeper strat?

amber mountain
#

comfort?

#

it feels faster and more open

misty holly
torn dagger
#

what does the necrolord opener look like?

amber mountain
#

It's also interesting that neither WF team had a 'sin or sub rogue in their melee lineup despite our dominance in heroic

narrow ravine
#

replace your opening mutilate with SBS

#

from stealth

#

If they didnt have a windfury totem we would have seen some rogues I bet

narrow ravine
#

I have to remember to remove windfury buff from all my sims, like my guild even has an enhancement shaman lol

amber mountain
#

I'm my guild's only raiding Rogue, and only enhancement shammy period

#

my main alt is enh

narrow ravine
#

yeah im the only rogue in my guild

amber mountain
#

so... outside of torghast where one of our resto or ele shammy's gets the "drop extra totems" I've never felt the sweet sweet kiss of windfury

narrow ravine
#

I was going to main enh back in beta release it just felt so bad, I changed

#

something about the rotation just irks me

amber mountain
#

Yeah, it's less of a rotation than a series of reactions

#

there's a base rotation, but depending on procs (which is true for any dps shammy) it can get a little all over the place

narrow ravine
#

its those long pauses where there is nothing but hoping a proc happens

amber mountain
#

and if you miss something, or pick the wrong thing to hit, you can end up waiting

#

Yeah, my shammy is at a point that those are few and far between, and when they do happen they don't last long. But at the same time, I'd love to play my main ('sin rogue) with windfury in a raid just once to see how it feels

#

oh, and not in lfr 😛 because therein lies pain

odd hazel
#

Tbh I have a enh shammy In my raid and they seem lack luster

#

Then again- the rest of my raid are blobsweat

simple stratus
#

@marble hemlock ya this seems 100% of the time

marble hemlock
#

its fun init

simple stratus
#

blows

shut garnet
#

any1 reach a 9k sim yet

twin prism
#

guys im completely shocked... i havent played assassination in a long time. But my logs are complete and utter dogshit. I dont think im doing my rotation THAT bad to be granted a gray parse.......

Can someone take a quick look maybe there is something super obvious that I am missing

#

i messed up my opener bad here

#

could that be the reason?

burnt star
#

Fury doesnt gain a lot from wft

amber mountain
burnt star
#

Sub is the 2nd best player that benefits from wft

amber mountain
#

why would i want to go there 😛

simple stratus
#

to find stuff

burnt star
#

The p.i chart is there too

spice spire
#

You missed a flag cast, you’re missing a weapon enchant on your main hand as well (maybe you just got it?)

twin prism
#

yep

#

but none of this can be so bad that its a damn 10 parse

#

its so odd

spice spire
#

You also missed a trinke use (skulkers)

#

Also don’t use garrote in opener (you mentioned that your opener was scuffed, but yeah don’t do that)

twin prism
#

im trying to sync it up with vendetta, should i not?

odd hazel
#

Don’t use garrote in opener ? peepoNotes

spice spire
#

Well yes garrote but not during MA window krey

#

😛

odd hazel
#

Oh yes

spice spire
balmy condor
#

kinda undergeared

#

no gems

twin prism
#

i dont, i use mutilate, slice and dice, mutilate, garrote, veenthyr thing then rupture. but i fucked up

spice spire
#

And yeah what whisp said

twin prism
#

whispyr, i got like 75 ilvl logs, which is not great at all. but in comparison to these last two pulls is like a lot better

#

So this is why im so shocked

spice spire
#

Not having a bonus and being 227 definitely pulls small things like that higher

wintry mica
#

looks like you let rupture fall off for a bit too

twin prism
#

can anyone who knows how to use warcraft logs just compare that log i linked to maybe a top rogue, im trying to do it but its confusing

balmy condor
#

we just told you the things that differ

spice spire
wintry mica
#

96%

spice spire
#

Nvm. 96 still acceptable. Won’t be diff in 20 and 80

wintry mica
#

im looking at the guardian pull since its basically patchwer k

spice spire
#

I double checked 😛 you’re right

wintry mica
#

yea definitely not a huge difference

narrow ravine
#

yeah based on that chart I can see why they would stack arms warriors with WF totem

spice spire
#

Unsure about that poison knife usage, but if you were about to overcapduring a mechanic good job

astral plover
#

Any1 wanna help me with checking my logs to see what i could do betyter?

balmy condor
#

link them

wintry mica
#

I guess if you are running a bomb out and capping on energy?

spice spire
#

Also hi whispyr whispyrwave

balmy condor
#

hi bb

spice spire
#

Figured that too, ray

balmy condor
#

you're missing a flag cast

#

because you hard synced

#

but you also just like

#

didn't sync

astral plover
#

So i can get the haste doin vandetta

balmy condor
#

oh god

astral plover
#

i thought that was the play

balmy condor
#

yeah don't do that

#

that's dogshit

astral plover
#

😛

balmy condor
#

flag is 24 seconds

#

you want to vend at the start of it

#

to buff the flag damage

astral plover
#

Makes sence

balmy condor
#

but even then

#

don't hard sync like that

#

you missed a cast of flag doing it

#

and that's a way bigger loss

astral plover
#

wait so u lads use Flag on CD?

wintry mica
#

if you would miss a cast

balmy condor
#

yes

#

always have used on cd

#

you can sync the last cast of vend/flag together

#

but aside from that

#

don't sync

astral plover
#

the more u know

#

Ty mr whisp

rocky ruin
#

Unholy Set trying to wear asap or not?

wintry mica
#

yes, like literally every other dps

spice spire
dim temple
#

When it comes to the dom sockets .. Dos it matter you put them in? like red need to go to the helm?

balmy condor
#

no

wintry mica
#

nope

dim temple
#

ty 🙂

balmy condor
#

you just want the helmet to enable the unholy set

#

and then 3 unholy gems

narrow ravine
#

well you have to have A helm to get the unholy set bonus

balmy condor
#

bek from blood

#

and cor from frost

#

and then you gain 20% dps

wintry mica
#

lol

balmy condor
dim temple
#

missing 2 unholy 😦

wintry mica
#

yea its literally like 1k sim dps lol

narrow ravine
#

I am missing 2 unholy too and tempting me to socket frost set while I wait

astral plover
#

Ye. i just got my chaos bane today

balmy condor
#

having all gems at max rank vs no gems at all is around 1500 actually

#

might actually be more

#

with how bonuses scale now

wintry mica
#

yea but max rank is not even doable yet right?

balmy condor
#

you can have a max rank dyz

wintry mica
balmy condor
#

but not all 5

strange python
#

!guide

wintry mica
#

is it worth it to boost dyz to rank 5 when you need them equally leveled for set bonus?

balmy condor
#

no

narrow ravine
#

it takes 100 things to upgrade 1 shard to portentous

#

so 300 to get 3 max

spice spire
balmy condor
#

usually I suggest getting things to rank 3

nimble tinsel
#

You can def have all 3 unholys to rank 4 this week at least

balmy condor
#

that's usually pretty quick

narrow ravine
#

its best to upgrade all 3 at the same time

wintry mica
#

I know people that have rank 5 dyz because they didnt understand how it worked

amber mountain
spice spire
#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

well blizzard didn't understand how it worked either

spice spire
#

Can’t even say the shard’s name in raid

balmy condor
#

that's why they randomly hotfixed in a 300% buff to the set bonuses

spice spire
#

Smh

balmy condor
#

which required you to level them different

wintry mica
#

bruh we have a guy named deez on our team so its even worse

shadow tusk
#

If you play EP do you still pool envenoms or do you Send it during the 10% dmg windwo

nimble tinsel
#

Yea I was gonna say it had nothing to do with not understanding how it works and everything to do with Blizz literally changed how it works lol

wintry mica
#

you still pool, you can usually get both mut in the EP window and then pool for envenom

shadow tusk
#

yeah but usually u can get the envenom as well but if pooling is overall more dmg it makes sense

amber mountain
#

Make like Dopinder and "always Mr. Pool"

red plaza
wintry mica
#

okay wtf I looked as a joke

red plaza
#

LIGMA BALLS

#

Gottem

#

🙄

wintry mica
#

is it worth it to sync every other flag with vend if you are using obedience, or do we just not get enough stacks/cdr for that to be worth

balmy condor
#

crying in the club man

wintry mica
#

the emote flex tho

balmy condor
#

won't miss a cast usually

#

would be like vend at 0, 2:20, 4:40

#

flag every 1:10

wintry mica
#

thats what I figured, but I'm behind and dumped my stuff into doomblade to hold me over

balmy condor
wintry mica
#

do yall think we will get nerfed if we keep staying at the top of the log ranking?

odd hazel
#

Nah

wintry mica
#

i assume blizzard is smart enough to understand the only reason we are at the top is our low end parses are way better than most classes

odd hazel
#

We weren’t even really included in RWF

whole mason
#

The only class missed the final boss?

oak sky
#

max just said they wouldve brought rogue if theirs got unholy bonus

whole mason
#

That's a big if for the first week

drowsy zodiac
#

Btw

odd hazel
#

Yes but we were dumped as soon as they didn’t need the dps

drowsy zodiac
#

Is it real?

wintry mica
#

maybe frost scales better in the sim with full bis gear and a ton of crit?

odd hazel
#

@balmy condor any solid info on this ?

spice spire
#

ScalingmonkaW

wintry mica
#

does top gear not replace dom shards that are already socketed in sims?

#

I just tried to sim frost vs unholy set and it told me to equip 2 unholy and 1 blood

narrow ravine
#

lol

#

I noticed that raidbots will sometimes bug out on the domination shards and show two socketed in a single item

wintry mica
#

nah actually the sim is just fuckd

narrow ravine
#

like I was also simming unholy set vs frost vs blood, and when looking at the sim results the head socket has both unholy and frost in it

wintry mica
#

it even moved my blood gem to a different slot and still didnt give me unholy set lol

#

gunna try to just force it in 2 separate sims

odd hazel
#

Could jus try gear comparing it

sour wraith
#

Has anyone else gotten sims to suggest subterfuge+mfd over subt+vigor for dslice (venthyr)?

narrow ravine
#

I think the bug happened when I simmed once then clicked to sim again and it pre-populated the items again

grand vine
balmy condor
#

Eating cake atm

#

Quake probably knows

whole mason
#

Frost set gives an intuitive fitting to sin as we do have much more opportunities for crits in its 20sec window

wintry mica
amber mountain
#

Oof, so Complexity-Limit didn’t bring a rogue because theirs couldn’t get drops on domination shards…

wintry mica
#

is unholy set simming properly? cause it just simmed as only 200 dps increase on me

narrow ravine
#

same here, still trying to get unholy shards and a helm

#

make sure you level up the unholy sockets evenly, all rank 2 all rank 3 etc.

#

it ups the proc value

amber mountain
#

Yarp

#

That’s a piece I didn’t understand until yesterday

wintry mica
#

I just need either a frost or unholy shard to drop and i can at least get one of the bonuses

#

but id trade my shards in for a damn dagger drop

narrow ravine
#

Sim unholy all shards at ominous, all shards at desolate, all at foreboding and all at portentous to see the scaling

red plaza
#

!pb

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

amber mountain
#

!jam

#

Bah

#

Pb without jam is sadge

odd python
#

best powers for terraque ?

wintry mica
#

pretty sure its somewhere in wow-general

narrow ravine
#

got lucky with my powers last night, posted 11.4k dps on him with my shitter gear

wintry mica
#

no lumbering form on the table=scam

main wharf
balmy condor
main wharf
#

bis cake

tidal gorge
#

Chocolate sims better IMO

main wharf
#

irl consumes

#

is it better to raid on an empty or full stomach

fleet anchor
#

Potent Acid Gland is worth way more than 900 DPS

#

The proc alone is over 1k in most of the logs I've gotten with it and that isn't even accounting for the debuff

#

And the debuff is pretty close to 40-50% uptime of a 25% damage increase

#

Guildie got it last week and I mathed it out as over 3k DPS

#

Also Diffuser is only bad on non-Mythic and if you are bad and not soaking. It was 1.5k for me last night. <400 dps doesn't make sense in Mythic.

narrow ravine
#

its clearly a image capture from https://mythictrap.com/sanctumOfDomination/tarragrue which those numbers were pre-release

#

ive not found a updated list or sims on them

strange python
#

yo can someone look at a log for me, was my first night raiding as Sin last night and it didn't go great personally not totally sure what I'm doing incorrect

halcyon zealot
#

yeah, just link it

twilit quiver
#

does anyone have a list of the classes that benefit the most from windfury?

strange python
odd hazel
#

its not bad but, rupture/garrote should be as close to 100% as possible, your evenom buff could be better

#

did

#

did you use venetta?

#

im not seeing it here

#

weird

#

its not showing vendetta as a buff used

#

but you did use it

halcyon zealot
#

sorry i’m at work will try to look when i get a free minute but looks like krey has you covered

odd hazel
#

im not the best at these but im not seeing to much stick out to me

#

tbh

#

your gear is oof for the most part. stat wise

#

you also dont have agility enchant on your boots

strange python
#

Oh, the agility enchant was because I had gotten those boots on the previous boss and just equipped them and I didnt have an enchant to slap on them right then and there

#

Im aware my gear isnt great though lmao

#

or whatever boss drops those boots

odd hazel
#

you have a little bit of downtime here and there

narrow ravine
#

is wowanalyzer updated yet? It used to give good hints

odd hazel
#

you wasted a bit of CP----

3 on mut, 4 on ambush, 3 on garrote, 4 on shiv

wild mural
#

@strange python biggest things man are to use your abilites on cd. There are very large gaps between your shivs. I don’t see a 2nd vendetta when it should have been used.

odd hazel
#

you also sat at max energy a bit

narrow ravine
#

do you guys hit shiv off CD even if you don't have cp ready for it?

odd hazel
#

yep

wild mural
#

Yeah

narrow ravine
#

thats the shiv ^

#

when I first started playing sin I kept waiting for the right moment to shiv

odd hazel
#

always just use it on CD

narrow ravine
#

like refreshing rupture and garrote build to 4 then use it, get as many envenoms in the window as I could but it was wrong all wrong, dont do that

balmy condor
#

I saw sims using shiv on the last gcd of a pack

#

Literally killing blow with shiv

wild mural
#

You could argue unless the boss is about to leap away or something hold it (Sylvanas) otherwise just use that shit.

balmy condor
#

Tried to fix that edge case

#

No gain

wild mural
#

Welp nvm lol

viscid spear
#

200 more dps than in Sin, hmm

ebon notch
#

rank 11 heroic sylvanas lets gooo

wild mural
#

I think nearly everyone’s sub sims higher but it’s patchwerk. There aren’t a lot of bosses in this raid where you have 100% uptime all the time and that’s all it takes.

digital zodiac
#

What legendary have you venthy boys gone with on cloak? Obedience or recrafted doom?

odd hazel
#

both

digital zodiac
#

what are you liking more in raid setting @odd hazel

nimble tinsel
# strange python yo can someone look at a log for me, was my first night raiding as Sin last nigh...

Missed a Skulkers, Flag, and Shiv cast over the course of the fight. Bleed uptime is ok but could be improved. Wasted 10 CP's on overcapping (not including shiv or seal fate). Sat at energy cap for extended periods a couple of times (might have been movement related issues). Probably general uptime improvements like using step during second knockback as an example. Should give you some things to work towards for now.

digital zodiac
#

or target dummy

odd hazel
#

i use doom in raid, and obedience in M+

odd hazel
#

i just hit 7.5k

#

rip

#

at 230

digital zodiac
#

@odd hazel obedience feelingn better than zold?

ebon notch
#

literally gives you 1k dps

odd hazel
drowsy parcel
#

i was 7.7 pre raid

#

today was a good raid

odd hazel
# ebon notch the set bonus

when i've only gotten one unholy shard and its the speed one. i have the execute blood shard and the frost damage shard

tidal gorge
#

I got my 3-set on painsmith and then smashed the rest of heroic >.>

#

Mythic tonight going to be fun

wild mural
#

I wish we did heroic first

brazen fern
#

Wasnt Chaosbann better? Bloodmallet is showing the frost thing atm. Do they changed something?

balmy condor
#

In what?

#

Single target?

odd hazel
#

i mean

#

this is showing the gems by them self

#

not the bonus

balmy condor
#

Bloodmallet shows the set bonus

odd hazel
#

it does?

#

oh

#

im fucking

#

Special

#

but yeah, it is showing that its best

balmy condor
odd hazel
#

listen

#

its been a long day whispyr

azure flare
#

U didnt look at the right side

#

Kekw

balmy condor
#

I haven’t been able to get a sim showing frost set bonus

odd hazel
#

ITS BEEN A LONG DAY KAYU

balmy condor
#

On anything

azure flare
#

Hehehe

#

But yea im surprised frost is showing that high

odd hazel
#

its even top for hectic add

azure flare
#

I actually thought it would be the worst on st

balmy condor
#

Hectic add

#

Get that shit out of here

odd hazel
#

give us that sim whispyr

balmy condor
#

I mean I knew frost was fine

spice spire

Is it top for helter skelter though peepoNoted

What about stat weights peophammer peepostudy

dont be a bully quake Toxic

spice spire
#

Ahhh yes excellent thank you master whispyr peepoNoted

green harbor
#

does sin get more from offhand weapon dps than most melee specs?

balmy condor
#

Somewhat yeah

#

But I don’t think it really matters

odd hazel
#

but but

#

whats better whispyr

#

a 252 or a heroic sylvanas

#

dagger

next dune
#

Lol

balmy condor
#

Just titanforge that shit

odd hazel
#

what about my ocarina trinket

tidal gorge
#

If I get a sylvanas dagger with infinite stars should I vendor it and wait for expedience III?

balmy condor
#

Only if it’s socketed

odd hazel
#

what about my mastery build

#

i think with exsanq its the top build

balmy condor
#

#balance-druid

hollow river
#

Hey whispyr know of a way to get your /simc on mobile? Just curious

balmy condor
#

Screen mirror your computer to your phone through steam, paste it to yourself through a private discord channel

next dune
balmy condor
#

Just to save yourself the disappointment

hollow river
#

Where’s oshoshi when you need him?

balmy condor
#

He left for classic

hollow river
balmy condor
hollow river
#

Ouch for us all

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Well

#

Not the word I would use

hollow river
#

Lol

#

Feels pretty shit to be using 226 items from raid > 252 m+ gear from vault (((((:

#

Last 226 dom piece I have is gloves. My vault this week was 252 cloak or 252 gloves

scenic root
#

just dont do m+ peophammer

hollow river
#

But need trinkets

#

And daggies

real bay
#

any 252 ooze gamers

inland jacinth
#

is it really worth getting x3 226 dom gear

hollow river
#

252 tail spinner pendant mastery neck gamers

inland jacinth
#

vs a 252 gear?

hollow river
inland jacinth
#

that strong eh

hollow river
#

Yep

tidal gorge
#

My sim went up into the 8.5k range post 3 set. It's busted.

inland jacinth
#

damn

#

super nice

hollow river
#

I mean you’d have to sim it but Unholy set bonus in total is ridiculous dps increase

inland jacinth
#

gotcha

hollow river
#

Rank 3 shards is equal to like 1k dps for most people

inland jacinth
#

well, gotta get lucky with the 3x unholy shards too

#

lol

#

i got 0 last week -_-

hollow river
#

I got 1 and my blood dps shard

inland jacinth
#

played lfr and everything

balmy condor
#

Like

#

15% dps

hollow river
#

Holy shit

balmy condor
#

Total dps

inland jacinth
#

wow, crazy

#

thanks for the info

hollow river
#

I thought it was like 8%-10%

balmy condor
#

The set bonus at max rank alone is over 13%

hollow river
#

Either way it’s more % than doomblade or obedience

inland jacinth
#

lol

#

still on the fence between doomblade/obedience =>

marble hemlock
#

240ilvl, not even 8k sim

hollow river
#

I’m gonna craft Obe this week cuz playing sub too

balmy condor
#

Having all 5 gems max level from 0 gems would be the same gain as having doomblade and obedience equipped from 0 legendaries

marble hemlock
balmy condor
#

If that puts it into perspective

topaz saffron
#

Ya'll popping IQD on cool down?

hollow river
#

You have to use the Embers from raid to upgrade don’t you?

balmy condor
halcyon zealot
#

i have all 9 gems and it tells me wearing 3/3 blood gems with the bonus is a 250 dps increase over wearing 1 dps shard from each set, and it sims about 75 higher than frost

#

i’m just going to assume the set bonuses are fucking busted

hollow river
#

So everyone should be farming normal AND heroic every week

#

Until max rank gems

inland jacinth
#

anybody playing outlaw/assassination actually made the obedience to rank 5/6 ?

inland jacinth
#

thinking of just making the doomblade now before raid r5

halcyon zealot
#

is the life drain from blood set dps??

#

only way it makes sense to me

balmy condor
#

Yes

halcyon zealot
#

oh

#

ok then

odd hazel
balmy condor
#

It’s also quite strong

#

Blood set is like 10% dps

covert belfry
#

is the in-game guild finder any good for getting a half decent guild?

balmy condor
#

Well

#

Depends on what half decent means

#

Cutting edge guild? Nah

#

Heroic AotC by end of tier? Probably fine

hollow river
#

Maybe aotc guild yea

covert belfry
#

medium-hardcore m+

hollow river
#

IMO harder to find a strictly m+ guild

halcyon zealot
#

i wish they put this stuff in the tooltip , rather than simply “drains life from enemies”

covert belfry
#

doesnt have to be strictly m+

balmy condor
#

M+ is more of a “I know a couple tanks and a healer and I ran with a couple dps”

#

More than actual guild

covert belfry
#

I only really care about m+

#

but im sick of pugging

hollow river
#

Try to add people that are decent that you meet in pugs

balmy condor
#

Gotta make some friends then

#

From my experience guilds do their runs but don’t really push that much or anything

hollow river
#

If you play really well some tanks will ask to add you

balmy condor
#

All of my non-pug keys are Just good friend groups

covert belfry
#

by medium-hardcore I just mean I want to do 15s really

balmy condor
#

Oh

covert belfry
#

not interested in going to like 20

balmy condor
#

Yeah you can find that in any guild

#

Gotta do 15’s for vault to be optimal

covert belfry
#

yeah and I can't do those pugging

balmy condor
#

Not sure how good the guild finder is for that tho

covert belfry
#

well how do you figure out if a guild is shit or not?

#

guild finder just lists seemingly random ones

alpine latch
#

Do you guys run standard m+ talents for Torghast (swapping to Leaching Poison)?

balmy condor
alpine latch
#

I miss being a Necrolord so much in Torghast.. The shield explosion was so nice. I haven't found any Venthyr powers that are very strong 😦

balmy condor
#

Higher world rank = more prog faster than lower world rank = better players = less shit

#

Usually

#

Obviously a 7 day raid guild at world rank 2000 is probably pretty terrible

odd hazel
#

i feel as most people see mythic and just say no

#

most heroic guilds i've been in that have SMASHED heroic, just for some reason didnt want anythign to do with mythic

inland hull
#

Mythic does seem pretty stressful. A lot of guilds on my server that raid Mythic don't last more than a tier or two

alpine latch
#

A lot of people think that once you step foot into Mythic, you turn into an uncontrollable minmaxxing dbag

narrow ravine
#

my guild will usually only get about half way through mythic but we have trouble with scheduling exactly 20 of the right people/classes to make it happen

#

I wish mythic was flex

halcyon zealot
#

i like mythic cuz i think learning “hard” mechanics and how to maximize damage while doing them correctly is fun, there’s only so much of that in heroic

narrow ravine
#

or at least sorta flex like, dont have 20, ok 15 is tuned slightly harder, ok 10 is tuned slightly harder, id rather take a bit more difficulty than having to cancel a raid cause we have 17 show up

tidal gorge
#

The roster restriction does add its challenges. I feel like I'm usually in a good place cause I don't mind if I get benched for one reason or the other. Many people rage quit if they get benched.

balmy condor
narrow ravine
#

yup, between having too many and benching people who then take it personally, or not having enough and canceling the raid, its quite a lot of stress

#

we have quite a few players who just stop playing wow after AOTC

#

we struggle to replace them for mythics and end up taking people just for warm bodies

My alliance guild was always like that. People assumed that if you wanted to be 2-3 bosses deep into Mythic you had to ultra min-max and shit

#

Dog what

Yeah, it was extremely frustrating

#

They purposefully kept the raiding roster under 20 so that they would never "turn toxic"

My guild killed mythic hivemind with half the roster grey parsing heroic that same week

Sup guys.
I've finally got 3 domination sockets and 3 shards of Unholy all together, even though I changed 239 shoulders for 226 ones. I was hoping for the huge dps increase, however simbot tells me that 3 unholy shards is not the way to go and places 3 dps shards from 3 diff schoold (1 unholy 1 frost 1 blood) as the best option (and it sims like +11 dps to current gear or smthng)
I'm kinda confused. Isn't it that the bonus should be huge dps-wise? And where may I see this bonus active btw? It doesn't show it in-game.

is obedience our best m+ leggo?

when playing heimer gemstone and ma do you want to vanish during gemstone or after?

AKAIK your vanish usage doesnt change - still want it to be synced with vendetta and you use gemstones windows to dump your SBS charges

yeah i usually have both synced during vendetta gemstone being 10s and ma being 3, fits in the vendetta, but with stacked it puts me almost at 100% crit which almost seems a waste

that's insane lol holy guacamole

halcyon zealot

but yes, the shards and set bonus are worth alot, i think whyspr was saying earlier the blood set bonus is worth around 10% and unholy is about 15%? iirc

#

not sure about frost

mortal pike

I've only gotten 1 from each set :C

Do you only get a chance at a shard from each 1 boss no matter the difficulty?

Hi guys one question, for example during the 9 fight, at the start should i apply garrote + rupture in both adds before going for a vendetta on a single one or should i just go for it at the start and after the vendetta spread the bleeds? Its something that im not quite sure. For me it makes sense to setup all bleeds before to get more energy but also vendetta already gives us plenty of energy

blood sims slightly lower then unholy but frost seems to be dog D:

aight, ty

That's why I usually recommend going for Doomblade by default, while having Obedience ready to use for niche cases.

stone gate
#

Is the gear thats good for sin similar to the ones good for sub?

#

or should I get a 2nd set if I wanna play sub as a secondary

tribal marlin
#

Haste is significatively less usefull to Subs who rather want to stack Crit and Versa to their soft cap

#

You can definitely play both spec with the same gear, Haste isn't "that bad" for Sub, especially the first 10 to 15%.

Is it worth pre pull to equip DS and get a free slice? and lose vanish on pull?

seems like the only reason to swap is so you can play sub as well and have a single lego that covers both specs

modest glen
#

when simming venthyr flag with and without obedience what kind of timings and stacks etc does it take into consideration? i might be stupid, but doesnt necro gain a huge advantage in that it doesnt rely on the same kind of uptime and timing of CD's? boss mechanics etc. like it takes a lot more effort to get max out of your flags

tribal marlin
#

Nah Venthyr is the play for most Assa progressing right now because the damage pattern is just better

halcyon zealot
#

you also shouldnt be thinking/trying to get 30 stacks of flag as assa

#

that will very rarely happen

#

18-24 is what we usually land at, and thats fine

tribal marlin
#

Usually you end up just syncing Flag + Vend most of the time, it's a much better burst windows / Bloodlust dps windows than just Vend

You know like raid is always the same story

95% of the time if you try to min max the Flag/Vend game you will at best win irrelevant unecessary damage and loose damage when it matter the most (during lust).

Dont overthink assa spec, play it straight forward and you'll do your job, believe me

Twas always thing, with leggos, with corruption

#

All's fine

modest jasper
#

Also the dmg increase we see weekly atm is almost annoying on reclear. Pushing eye almost 30s faster all of a sudden almost killed us etc :)

#

I'm Happy once everyone has set and we can just actually figure out timings.

#

Also hoping we can kill remnant this week prayge

#

my guild stopped progging heroic at guardian and just went into Mythic and wiped on eye all night :/

modest jasper
#

Eye is not the easiest boss imo

#

Nine is far simpler.

idle star
#

but heroic tho... why stop

modest jasper
#

You will get it down eventually!

#

Well, sometimes people want to push for quick 3/9 mythic vaults etc

#

I'd consider talking to officers what's the reasoning behind it because you see a lot of good gear on the bosses up to Sylvanas

#

Never hurts to ask :-) Maybe they have good reasons or maybe they are missunderstanding wishes from the raiderd

#

E.g. we had optional heroic on a third day but with dom sockets etc. it felt very mandatory.
So we moved it to one of the main raid days for the next 2 ids.
Obvsly means less mythic prog but it's what the raid overall wants.

#

Officers also just need a small reminder sometimes ;-)

slim jay
#

Probably better just to kill terrague and then all of heroic before progging mythic

Would appreciate if someone could help me look at my logs, and guide me to where I'm going wrong. Seem to be averaging around 70 parses. Haven't got day domination set. But seeing people say they're hitting 90s without has me worried

Yeah we’ve been raiding 4 days in my guild. Just trying to get our darn shards and socket gear from any difficulty

idle star
#

see i cant afford to raid more than twice a week. having a significant other restricts these things 😛

slim jay
#

I know a solution

hollow river
#

Make a shards and sockets vendor for Embers

balmy condor
#

shards won't be an issue in 3 weeks

#

it's fine

hollow river
#

Let’s us buy what we want and put it on whatever piece of gear we want (still slot restricted, but even m+ gear)

#

I mean they won’t be an issue because everyone should have them, we get that

#

But basically half the gear you get from m+ is obsolete waste of space with this system lol

slim jay
#

Better raid then

Ngl, that's exactly why I hate the system so much.
It already only matters for the first 2-4 ids depending on rng. So why not just assign a shard to each boss and make it guaranteed drops. Or let us buy them for embers or whatever...
It's that simple already, why layer it behind rng.

modest jasper
#

I know :D

balmy condor
#

raid has forever dropped loot that interferes

modest jasper
#

It's the way it is and luckily it's "light" rng

balmy condor
#

that's not really the issue

modest jasper
#

As in you will quickly have them all anyways

#

So guess we can be happy about that ;-)

#

Also guaranteed shard from Sylvanas definitely helps feel less bad :-)

hollow river
#

They are really powerful for something that everyone will have in a few weeks

slim jay
#

I was just happy to learn the chisel for removing shards is infinite use

hollow river
#

I think CE will be easier this tier

slim jay
#

I thought blizz was making that a huge stygia hole

balmy condor
#

tbh I don't know what I'm using stygia on

slim jay
#

Mounts and 2500 for the chisel

#

Alt gear

modest jasper
#

Nothing really once you got the one times

balmy condor
#

I mean I already bought that stuff

modest jasper
#

I guess 200 pieces for alts

balmy condor
#

and I'm on 13k stygia

#

and I don't have alts

#

so like

slim jay
#

Make alts

balmy condor
#

fuck no

slim jay
#

Consume more

#

Extend playtime

modest jasper
#

I mean, same with anima tbf

slim jay
#

Buy sub

#

Consume more

modest jasper
#

I have like 30.000+ again and don't know what to do with it before my bank is full

hollow river
#

I was thinking about making an alt but having to grind shards again before my power levels to everyone else’s doesn’t sound fun

slim jay
#

Legendary prices make me not want to have alts though

hollow river
#

Pretty soon if u don’t have ur unholy set people will kick u from keys

#

I feel it

balmy condor
#

sets don't work in keys

slim jay
#

The set doesnt work in m+

modest jasper
#

No alts for me this tier.
The amount of effort and time you need to put into them to have them at a decent level is just too much for my taste.

balmy condor
slim jay
#

Only the individual shard powers

hollow river
balmy condor
#

well yeh

#

duh

slim jay
#

Unless youre doing really high keys people are just going to look at your ilvl and score

hollow river
#

One of my guildies from my last guild

#

Was kicked from a key

#

For not having his 2 dom pieces socketed with shards

balmy condor
#

that doesn't sound like the reason

#

tbh
