aight ty!
If I'm using the Obedience legendary, Is it still better to run EP+Vigor or should I be running Blindside+DS?
I think blindside DS is always better no?
Most fights in Sanctum tend to value EP+Vigor over Blindside+DS just because of the frequency for multi-target scenarios.
But with the haste I can get from Obedience, I'm not sure if I should stick with my current talents or go with what the sims tell me (Which they always will) which is that Blindside+DS is better.
according to the faq you want bs ds for st if you're playing obedience
They’re similar
Play which ever you feel comfortable with
Close enough
But ye, multi target scenario’s favor ep+vig
Depends how u sim; light movement, heavy movement, cleave add etc
Any cleave fight, ep+vigor is the move
It's mostly preference. BS DS will almost always sim higher but some people have just found ep vig to 'feel better'. Plus there's only two fights that don't have something else to hit at some point, combined with sylvanas ( most important fight) not having execute phase makes running ep vig for the whole raid easier vs having to tome a bunch
quick question, what changed from 9.0 to 9.1 which suddenly made assa viable in pve and amazing in pvp?
huh, i stand corrected then
Ye
It got 25% worth of buffs from 9.0 to 9.0.5
I was gonna say we just all amazing gamers here
But it must be the aura buffs + cttc
Also, since I started playing my rogue, ive been an outlaw enthousiast, but since im more pvp oriented I tried going assa instead, but havent tried it yet in pve content
How does it feel there?
Does it feel smooth? Slow? Good in the meters? Looking at wowlogs it doesnt seem too behind outlaw, which is known as "the king of m+"
I’d say sin is prefered over outlaw for raiding and good enough for m+
To be viable
So KSM no problem?
ehh... im looking at wowlogs and so far theres only a very limited of 20s going on, some 19 and even more 18s
but a low amount of 20s, whereas outlaw is pushing some 21s and 22s
Correct
Well thanks for the info, I appreciate it, Ill try it tomorrow and do a softcore test with a +10 see where I stand with it 
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea for sure
I find Sin and Outlaw really shine in extended trashpacks in M+, since neither really have any big burst AoE Cooldowns. So dont expect to be king of overall, but you can really clown on other specs on bosses and lieutenants
In that case I will prob stick with outlaw for m+ and maybe assa for raid and pvp, a shame because my goal was to be lazy and not need to farm multiple different sets of gear 
You don’t have to
If KSM is your goal, sin is perfectly fine
But it probably requires a bit of practice
i'm running 18s and sin is just fine
also, what this person said
the most difficult thing as rogue in m+ is to get the invite 
Run your own keys
i am
Not only as rogue, as dps in general is my experience
thing is, I need that trainket from plaguefall
Yea that's also been my issue lol. My group i was starting to do 20's with have a real sleep schedule and I'm over here stuck working overnights.
But for that guy asking about sin dps in keys this was a 15 halls if ksm is all your after you can still pump
I found myself pugging in +15 rather +10. Chance to fail +10 is higher imho
@idle star i thought "constantly" was pretty obvious hyperbole, it wasn't constant but it was definitely a lot more than i'm used to
which is, in fairness, like 0 times
be careful with lower keys, stuff dies so fast you don't really get to deal damage on trash
also 10-14 is hell
True
Yap
Tyran feels so bad for sin in general lol. Barely get your dots out before the packs blasted 
nah im running 15 rn as outlaw (keep in mind i got 60 5 days ago so im still learning), 10 is just an easier medium for testing out the feel of it
if only blizz wasn't so anti-multispec 
or ewven multi-content
what, you want to raid AND m+?
tough luck, different covenants are best for that, go f yourself
pvp who?
sub was nerfed pretty hard in pvp
isnt obedience better if u just wanna run 1 lego for everything
It is
cool
Idk man i feel subs dmg is less 1 dance inside duel and more zug zuggy. I pump with 40% crit and 25% vers
A lot of pressure
they removed Cold Blood and nerfed some abilities didn't they
that's why you'll see more sin pvpers than last tier. also added hemotoxin talent for sin
ok so how do you do torghast when 2 mobs legit kill you unless you blow cds and cc them 🤔
giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiief
i'm grinding too, that was the enhancer in my key
yeah but not having bl or br or any other utility sure makes it harder
dude I think blizzard is giving me loot karma. 31 chances now and I didn't get phial
Im being punished for 252 MH and 252 totem
there was this guy who dropped it and already had it at a bit lower ilvl and he could trade it... he didn't to save 400 valor :')

At least I have like 7 of the awful helmet that drops there...
I got a socketed cipher aswell I guess
what is your opinion on the scoundrel leggy?
Not good enough
outch
may he stub his toe on every door
what is the best leg for m+
Zoldyck/obedience
but we go doomblade for raiding right?
Or obedience, yea
im planning to craft the obedience leggo but would like to use it with all specs. which stats would be the best in that scenario?
mostly playing sin in raids and outlaw in dungeons but wanting to give sub a shot
crit vers
Is it worth switching to venthyr ? Currently Necro .. I'm playing assa raids and sub keys .. I know they are very close but still.. I think sub would benefit greatly if I went venthyr ?
Some sims I did last week showed about 60 dps increase patchwerk for assa and about 200-500 for sub
yea if ur planning on multispeccing w sub in the mix venthyr is the way to go
Is it very far behind in fights like eye , the nine and the torturer guy ?
We have another rogue in the raid and he is venthyr ..m generally he is not that good of a player but his cov ability is always so far behind SBS
its a fair mix ^^
The damage part of flagellation isn’t the only thing you get from it
It give huge haste buff if you play it well
Well you don't really need to play it that much
you just slam it before a finisher
and move on
Is it capped at 30 stacks? I tried my hardest to fit in as much 5 point finishers in the window as possible and can't get past 30 stacks
Yes.
But you rarely won't even get to 30
23-26 is a good average during lust
Feels like I get 30 more often than not
in multitarget its rly easy to get to 30 cuz of the "infinite energy regen" almost
from multidottin stuff
30 is rng, even with 35% crit i get 25 as assassination
but in ST its just really hard
DH in this group just took a shadowgrasp when he has 239 salvaged and a 236 phial
big sad
Well it's not actually about the energy
It's about critting
and getting more CP from using FoK instead of Muti
tru
Even if you have 126% haste and you have infinite energy, you still won't be hitting 30 stacks unless you get lucky with crits.
@olive peak a lot of the dps increase from flag is haste so it will show up under different abilities. I'd go venthyr at least while SBS is broken
And take another 2 days again to switch back, nah thanks
Maybe someone other than you would be willing to do that
Is there ever cases to delay shiv or is the benefit from keeping it rolling on cd too high?
Oh ye probably, but I’ll wait till they fix sbs
only delay some secs maybe to synch with vendetta
shiv on cd
this was in response to me?
ya
we do craft doomblade on cloak?
y
k thanks
both on cloak
cheers ❤️
you can also check assassination faq for that btw 🙂 there are some useful information
Like they fixed the poison bug?
I’d say this is a bit bigger
Both are unacceptable
If the rogue was in a dress at blizzard HQ we’d prob have raid utility by now


Meh. I made the point on the wow forums and they deleted it so prob in poor taste
Yep
hell I'm happy there still a few straight guys working there. I was starting to worry
You can delay up to 10 seconds to sync with vendetta
Did anyone sim if its worth delaying hasted trinkets to a stacked flag?
E.g shadowgrasp totem
what do i want to be doing in huge pulls? like pulls with 8+ mobs
Gar 4 targets, keep CT and refresh in pandemic, keep snd up by using envenom, use fok to generate cp, tab target and rupture as many mobs as you can that live long enough, use shiv, vanish, garrote, cov ability and vendetta on cd (pref on mobs with biggest health pool).
And most importantly, dont die. It’s a big dps loss
are some of you guys playing spitefull weeks as a assassination?
Is it hard for you to play chainpulls this week?
Swapped to sub for spitefull :/
A lot less stressful without having to stealth every pack
yea, i feel sad for not getting the subterfuge boni every pull
It’s not inting if you can restealth
Ye that sucks, but it happens
Vanish if you have to, works
Sometimes u get lucky and u can stealth when the spiteful is spawning
i use shadowmeld on cd to stealth but other than that i dont usually get the bonus
amazing thanks :D
i always lag behind in big aoe pulls but im assuming theres nothing i can do to help that? i usually play with a dh and either ele shaman or mm hunter
also i usually save my phantom fire for huge pulls, is that the right thing to do?
I use sharpening stones
But I think it's kinda w/e dps wise, I usually pot for bosses
Yea it’s annoying that I can’t restealth
So I use shadowmeld, and vanish to stealth
aight
Umm.. hello ? Assa's bis is frost set ?
ty brother
Any necro brothers holding out hoping the bug is fixed soon or you all made the venthyr switch already?
more general question, is it worth switching from DD to the potency conduit (poisoned katar) for m+ during tyrannical weeks?
In dungeons we dont spam CT on big packs?
damn , infexous lied to me
is my raid stat prio crit haste or haste crit
Top gear sim
@late birch i think u only spam when u have 34% crit tho
Stats boil down to covenant and talents really
u probably dont have enough
sorry i had to
im necro and i run blindside, ma, marked for death, cheat death, iron wire, alacrity and poison bomb
dont spam @late birch
Please don’t spread misinformation
u can go 4x garrote into ct
ct and then rupture
then fok ruptures
ty ❤️
I just got shard of zed, is that any useful or nah?
the 34% crit is a full on meme btw sorry
@late birch
if anyone says that theyre trolling
Sim your top gear don’t try to game the stats
dont spam ct
what meme, btw?
so I alittle surprised that obedience doesn't make theo's Wasteland buff any better then triple potency
?
ass build..
exactly
wasnt this in like BFA ?
34% crit , 72% haste
or some shit
im pretty sure we never had actual breakpoints?
at least i only played sin in like s1 s2 bfa
after that i was outlaw
and never played rogue before bfa
kinda only started in 8.3
https://www.wowhead.com/spell=319983/wasteland-propriety
like why isn't this better with lashing cd reduction?
btw, on ST is it that much better opening with necro spike instead of ambush?
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.
normally you would SnD after ambush, so it doesnt matter the combo points
and it dealt more damage than mut
Did you read?
ahg
m+ builds and raid (MA talent) is diff ofc
subterfuge u open still with garrote ofc
ye
Quick question. What are these wasted combo points here?
cp you got over the limit due to seal fate I assume, aka if you were at let's say 3 cp and you mut, the mut crits, you wasted 1-2 cp
it's nothing you can avoid, really
ah ok
only minimize the potential
Because I was careful to finish at 4-5 combo points
so thats why I was confused by that
yeah its just rng
shiv too
oh damn ok
sbs too if ur necro
Thank you!
FoK generates +1 cp for every target it critically struck, mut 1-2 because it's two hits in one attack which can crit separately, ambush only gives +1 because it's a single hit
Why do the guides say to open with mut instead of ambush when using MA talent?
!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.
ty
wait i still don't understand how combopoints is relevant if the global after the opener is always slice and dice lol. i get the poison argument but how on earth does it matter if u slice with 3 or 4 cp if it is never going to fall off anyways and makes literally no difference.
Ambush does more damage
and also u will mutilate to apply doomblade before u ever envenom anyways. and i'm genuinely surprised that 1 deadly poison application and 1 doomblade damage dot makes up for the increase
well, according to tooltip, ambush does more
ambush does way more damage ram
wait idk exactly on my character but i think it's 2k+ more
maybe 1.5k
Have a good point
gotta ask some cf about that i guess
One explanation is bigger chance to get alacrity stack but idk
pretty sure its mathed out already tho
i need a simgod logician to come thru w/ the facts no cap
Where’s whispyr
@balmy condor your type is needed
idk i still have a hard time believing that + poison outweighs how much more ambush does
how can i check my boss uptime on logs? I know how to check uptime of my bleeds and stuff.
I recall them saying you use Mut cause you get chance of 4 Combo Points where you dont get that many with Ambush.
Maybe overall it’s better because of the chance for crit
that's irrelevant
because it doesn't matter if u slice w/ 3 or 4 cps
because u slice w/ 1 cp when u play necrolord and that is sufficient already just at 1 combopoint
poison application, chance for a blindside proc
doesnt poison also do instant dmg?
OH idc how anyone plays, i was just answering a question. haha
apart from the dot ticks
nobody plays blindside this tier
ep vig almost exclusively better on every fight cuz none of them are pure st
except for tarragrue which is a meme and guardian which sub is just better on anyways
i mean
^this tbh
i'm a curious individual
It’s the small things
mut is in default because alac/blindside chance/dp/doomblade
and it was checked thoroughly to be better in the past
that is the wrong trinket, blizzard
because i don't play blindside and sometimes i play obedience sin
the dot part of doomblade is relevant, but not the envenom part i guess
so i wonder if the same findings are true without those conditions
ok but
the delta is WAY more than 600
and also ud mutilate again well before 600 damage from ur doomblade has ticked
ud literally go ambush slice mutilate
yeh but i'm saying u wouldn't even realize the full value of that first doomblade dot because the boss always dies w/ x seconds remaining on your doomblade
if you're EXCLUSIVELY playing obed ep then i can see ambush probably being like a 5 dps gain
but at that point
i never dies w/ doomblade completely falling off
you're playing a 200 dps worst combination
i mean
so trying to figure out the worlds smallest optimization for it is pointless
take sykvanas
mythic
no blindside value whatsoever
it's multi target so ep strictly better
there's intermissions and downtime so pooling to 150 w/ vigor is more than viable
obedience is strictly better for the flag timings on that fight as well
is it?
yes
Yes
and remind me what dps gain you think you'll get on a 14 minute fight from ambushing from stealth once in p1
i didnt see mythic yet but the hc felt so fucked with obed
even in math
timings r way better w obed in mythic
there's statistical irrelevancy
like
on a 5 min sim you could argue maybe it's outside margin
Go watch limit or echo video and timings
i see
but if we're talking sylvanas mythic
You’ll have obed for all the goods 🙂
you're literally at the point where you'd have to pull the boss
for SEVERAL YEARS
i mean are there rogue povs? @cerulean junco
to see any difference
bdgg's rogue streamed but pieces didn't
but logs from pieces rogue ksp has way more optimizations to be made
he played doom tho and i mean it's not going to be the dif between killing or not but
u can get notably more meaningful flags w/ obed
Ram I havnt watched a POV. Just observed timings
interesting
any other fights u found obed to be nice for sin?
i just been playing it yolo for the sake of having a r6

i actually thought it was nice for timings on remnant
sims worse than my r4 235 doomblade
i preferred doomblade if u play sin on eye and dormazain
but if u play sub and hit 30 and depending on ur chain assignments then it's fine for sub dormazain
i mean it's bis for sub but w/ sin and my chain assignment id always get 2nd and 4th flag at the worst time
In my honest opinion ram and from what I heard. Once the raid gets gear the raid is a breeze. So doom and obedience is up to player ability
But if you want to parae there may be some things we can look into
do you have an obed ep profile open rn james
ummm lemme find it
i simmed one last night. going to swap to CT for mythic sylv
i was pb but w/ the obed optimizations it's just so much more dam anyways i figure we can still kill if me and junkrat play ct
yeah truth raid is a joke with gear
we are not even fully juiced yet
Necro was pretty fun for Soulrender
people are simming like 10k but top ones are actually gonna be 12k
imagine getting 2k across whole raid

Pretty meh for PS though because the balls don't reset sbs
Wait James is JPC?
that is indeed what the J stands for
Wicked
James pc yes
Ye now it all falls into place
Traps so big got no neck
James you pushing with sub this tier?
also @sand sigil is that tavazvesh trinket legit over 246 phial tho
IMAGINE HAVING 246 PHIAL
saw klaus was running it while he had the phial too
I'm actually so annoyed that sbs is bugged to shit
fucking right
no
these dudes acting like you can just go and get it
wanna do a pf with me ? :)
but im almost 50 runs deep with 0 daggers
☠️
Same ram.
down
My rogue is still rocking 9.0 dags. 40+ runs

Same
u guys think its bugged and cant drop?
For me, highly likely
cause they did bug out sbs outta this world
They gave me shards and sockets wayy too fucking soon
So daggers might take a few more weeks
what sockets u got
Heroic chest, shoulder, head
242ilvl wtf lolol
bruh people are 247
wtf
maybe lucky mofos
imagine existing in the 24x club and not being 235 ilvl basically lookin like a last-patch ass
rank 2 blood set 229 offhand represent
whats ur mainhand tho
239 from pvp : (
: )
feels like 50% of everyone got a 252 somehow
maybe just cause i'm jealous
yeh i got offered 252 shoulders and a 252 crap ring last 2 vaults
its too late im wayy too deep into the farm
i dont punch out a lot of 15's
this season is so deflated. most of the casual pvpers are gone, RBG's are dead as well... harder to push rating rn
tbh i barely even know what to do to make my gear better
show ur gear
it feels like anything i can farm is negligible compared to getting lucky in the raid
tbh mostly yes
raiding atm sucks for loot.. you get maybe 1 peice for a full run, its a god dam joke....
i mean socketed neck and rings are good to upgrade
Thats insane though
rest kinda w/e
Wish they would add something to let you add a domination socket to pieces of gear.
i assume u have phial already
will get offhand from conquest later today i guess
236 belt/wrists aren't even better in most cases
oh u got the ring im farming
yeh i hadto sacrifice 239 boots in place of 226 dom socket ones with haste :/
i guess boe legs
lol
but boosting communities not paying out when you need them to
: (
@cobalt pelican we dont need high sim dps buddy
why is your guild paying that much?
i'm waiting for them to go down to like <800k and i might cough up
it was early
were you racing for world first?
lol no but 1mil isnt that much when u do some mythic boosts
Your guild paid for your boe?
I’d like to go there
if it aint a race to first place i dont get spending millions on gear
now theyre about 1.2-1.4mil tho
millions really isn't much
Meanwhile my guild doesn’t even get me repairbills
like ram said
if your guild can boost 1-2 ppl post progress even later into the tier
you can easily cover boes on everyone
it's very different to echo having to pay 10m for everything on first day
even at not top level
and xferring shit around
for a ru nof what?
a wot
are you carrying ppl through a full Mythic Sanctum clear?
i mean yes later
Not already
In a few weeks that is gonna be pretty easy for a top 100 guild I assume
i wonder who some of these random ppl are who can afford 12 million gold for 1 run of Mythic sanctum for a chance at ONE peice of loot...
And a mount
one piece?
they usually get traders
And for the CE
and it's through the power of the wow token
its a full clear when most of guild doesnt need too much loot
wow tokens? 12 million? 1 token atm is 170k... thats a LOT of cash lol
Yes it is
some people also have like 100s of mil gold
Or it is a looot of time spent grinding
by playing AH or whatever
Or indd playing AH
ive payed like 200k for a M+ dungeon etc... but millions is just stupid
idk just my opinion
i mean
#off-topic stuff tho
some people dont have time to commit to mythic raiding
it's not even that
anyways boe tend to be overpriced when u buy early
i dont have time for mythic raiding.. but what is someone going to do with Mythic raid gear if they dont have any time to use it? makes zero sense.
every week they chunk down in price
ye
i'll buy legs maybe next reset
cause they'll likely be comfy on the 500-800k range by then
im prob getting a pair of avoidance later too when its down at below 1mil
i just resold a pair for 2mil

the spires ones are nice
haste vers
what are ur thoughts about the ticking sack btw?
not overperforming or anything right
honestly not looked much tbh since i've not got one of my own
ive got it in my bags thats why im so curious why ppl use it
maybe its to tank ilvl on logs
from what i have seen just seems overtuned for ilvl but not insane once max options are avail
but will be next patch
Yikes
easiest thing is just to look at logs using both tbh
etc
seems to be consistently few % above 246 phial
the hard part i find about comparing this one with normal "agi" ones
is mastery vs agi mainstat
i know koji pushed a 'fix' for the double proc bug
if it was both agi it would be easy
but it's possible it got removed somehow in builds along the way
yea idk, you can always just do spitball math like
assume agi is worse just over double mastery on st
or something like that
it's a bad approach but should at least give approximation
its just hard to imagine people use it over 246 phial for example
the sims arent swapping targets in aoe still right?
like
mastery just seems so shit compared to agi
but maybe the raw dps just makes up for it
it was 200 more dps from the log u sent at least
that log is also like
not extreme, in most cases it does like 600-700 dps and phial 350-400ish
i see
I mean sack just sims the highest for me
would u agree that fusion trinket does lose value if u dont have the full 100% uptime on a target
idk exactly how phial works, i think it just keeps building stacks and keeps ticking
If the downtime happens during the trinket effect, sure
like if u pop guardian trinket, then get a bomb on remnant probably
That's not how it works
So we should all be farming sack basically?
Yes it is
And it currently performs really well without ever letting it drop
And always grtting to 3 stacks
yeah, i was just comparing it to fusion if u were to get a mechanic
"farm" as in kill the first 2 bosses of HM Tazzavesh once a week
Sure
after popping it
Perhaps targetting was the better word, will get on it
Yeh but it also loses value if you're not getting a single stack
Fusion amp is 20s out of 90s active
So hoy have 70s of downtime for free
yeah thats true
like it sims rn 0.4% worse for me with 239 fusion and 246 phial
thats just 1 T 5min patchwerk
it will for sure be a very crazy trinket next season with m+
imagine getting that in vault with 326 ilvl
are u venthyr btw @limber lion

What's been buggy about sbs for everyone I guess I haven't noticed

I guess I haven't noticed it
It's awful
You pretty much should never get 1CP from sbs, unless you get parried
But currently it happens the majority of the time
Okay I did notice that I thought it should give me more
Damn and I was enjoying necro to I'm not a fan when I was venthr
I'll just stay necro then as I do enjoy having that extra button lol
ST on Sylvanas?
Sorry
Should I roll pure ST talents on Sylv?
I assume it's about burst and not about add phase, but I've only done it on normal
okay, seems easy enough
Mythic sylvanas is debateable
When I get Mythic Sylv it'll be because I'm buying the mount..
lol
I'm 6/10H right now but my guild will probably only get 4-5 bosses down in Mythic
gonna run CT tonight for mythic sylvanas. pb just not worth for 80 more ST dps
maybe it was necessary last week but not once u get gear
anyone know if the bleed from Fine Razorwing Quill counts towards the bonus for bleeds using Doomblade legendary?
It doesn't
I agree
i was running pb last night cuz ksp and aestis did but i think it's misplay
PB is quite underwhelming honestly
they just need to tune it up so there's an actual trade off to be had
or make it proc more often
agree
idk how much "haste scaling" is a meme but could CT overtake PB at a point if we get more haste in the later tier ?
it was like that in 8.3 but that was outlandish lvls of haste
yeah i doubt we'll get to 8.3 level of haste any time soon
doubt with real numbers it'll be 'better' but it'll likely get close enough that it's just w/e
ye
Corruption 2.0 baby
i do think CT is kinda silly, or maybe PB is just too bad
Think the latter
ye
i prefer playing CT tbf, i like the maintaining dots playstyle actually
so if i can run it i will most of the time
assa 2t with CT is like very fun
yeah necro assa ct is one of the most fun things in the game
honestly i like it with venthyr too, it's much easier building up stacks cuz u got so much more energy
but for me peak assa gameplay was like sire p2 as necrolord assa
that was very funny
u guys track gemstone cd or just the buff when its up?
CD
i want to know when it's about to come
etc
there's a good wa for it pretty easy to find
i have a wa alrady that tracks when the stacks are happening and when the buff is up, but idk how to make it track the cd too
brain too smooth for WAs
Something somehow hit PB with a wackamole stick over the expansions with no legit data behind it 
give me a sec i'll link you one
blizz really insist of throwing every trinket at me except phial
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
thank u!
I'm still using a 216 phial from 9.0 
i still have a 226 one, but it sims lower than any of the above 
relic sims high but feels awkward to me somehow
also the "multitarget" portion of it sounds really worthless
done 20+ pfs last 2 weeks 0 phials to be seen
and a guildmate got 252 one first vault 😄
which gem do you upgrade after unholy - i assume frost one?
I ran sims for seli earlier that showed 27% for zoldyck in execute, 54% for doomblade, about 50% for obedience

interesting ty professor whispyr 
how good is this ?
not.
Its this good
it's good enough to equip in both slots to allow trading of 233 trinkets
^
and then unequipping it and throwing it into the garbage
btw @echo geyser phial sims 90 more for me than sack
doomblade beats out obidience in sims for me. does obidience get better with some secondary stat as we get more of it?
Doomblade is the preferred ST leggo for sin
Obedience does get more value in certain builds/gear setups but chasing that isn’t worth IMO
upgrading from rank 2 to rank 6 lego just cost the difference cost soul ashe/cinders and the empty r6 item right?
like i dont have to pay all 5k soul ashe just 3k since r2 cost 2k right?
you pay only the difference
Damn I really wanna try obidience. Might craft 2 rank 2s. But then I’m behind on my rank6. A soul Ashe catch-up woulda been sick for people who started on 9.1.
i mean, you don't really need rank 5 and 6
unless you really want the min max early on
you guys run well placed steel during tyrannical?
i do, but only cause I'm too lazy to swap
Yeh
Wdym u can catch up on ash
And the last couple of layers give outrageous amounts of ash
Ye
yeah but then you have to farm torg
it's not that bad
But it’s maddening to even think about
Having to farm torg
Makes me want to hang mysef ngl
just go layer 10 (12 is too difficult for now) and rush through it
torghast could be so much more and that's why i dislike it
it just feels tedious atm even with gear and it not taking long
torghast is the first try of blizz to make a roguelike
no company i know of nailed a roguelike first try
don't get me wrong, its terrible. But its also expected to be just that depending on how early the iteration is
dont u get like 100 soul ashe per run. thats 52 runs for a rank 4 😵💫
The first will get you major bulk already
you can run it on lower levels to be faster
the soul ash value lost due to it being lower floor is probably worth less than the time saving
yea, i meant after ur 1k runs
idk about you but ive been used to WoW introducing systems and butchering them for a while
don't be mean like that ....some of us have been so unlucky that it's actually our highest simming trink 😦
play more :)
if one of the worst trinkets in the game is your best, that's a problem
i have been raiding 5 days a week and getting 10 15s done every week since the patch 😦
im the only one in our guild still rocking 233 daggers and no set bonus, it feels great
my vault last week was so bad, i didn't even pick anything until i went through raid to see if i get any pieces ...and at the end of the day ended up having to pick a pair of legs out of my vault that will be replaced with a normal socket the moment i get another shard.
rng gods have not been kind to me
dont worry im in the same boat as you!
@balmy condor we are phial-less gamers forever. 🥰
anyone know if i should line up vendetta with fusion amplifier all the time or just use the trinket on cd
the other rogue's gear is so much better than mine there's literally no way i get in on prog
and blizzard wonders why they are losing players to FFXIV and other games
we want to play their game and their systems and rng prevent us and keep pushing us out lol
in legion i started the expansion playing unholy dk, and if you remember you NEEDED those bracers as DK and i wasn't getting any useful legendaries and they had that bad luck protection thing and i was running a raid as frost and forgot i had my loot set to frost and it dropped a frost legendary as my 4th ....and i straight up quit playing
literally he has 252 dagger, unholy socket bonus, 5 ilvls over me
i dont have a single dps shard
yea just after sylvanas dies
u got this!!!
me and mr oinks
the lucky charm has been brought out!
good luck
Does assa works in m+?
it's good enough
does obidience preffer crit or haste
is relic of the frozen waste trinket bugged? i dont see the impaling dmg in details
id assume crit for more cp generation
lol i just ran a PF with someone and a phial dropped and he didn't need it ...so i got a 236 phial ..maybe i should come here and complain more often :p
wtf did they have that they didn't need? dang
listen i didn't care i didn't ask they offered it and i said yes
I got a 226 phial the last week of season... and after 6 pf's i got one. Daggers on the other hand, just don't exist.
are the extra stats that showup on raidbots for crafted accessories just a visual bug?
or does it sim them like that
does SBS stack with doomblade?
soo sub is still the to go spec right ?
Def run Zold in m+
unsure what this question is supposed to answer, but obedience doesn't change our stat priority in any meaningful way
venthyr as a whole already prefers more crit than other covenants because it gets a huge haste steroid every minute and a half
obedience doesn't really change that too much
i wasnt sure if i should craft the 230 haste neck or crit neck
and couldnt sim it without crafting it
gear compare
how do you even aoe as assassin for lets say clearing raid trash pack lol
and just find the necks and give them the stats you want
Don't
Assa is pretty awful on raid trash
does it matter which of the 3 shards you put on the helmet to activate the set bonus?
- Get weapon
- Tricks on your hunters
- Use weapon do 180k dps and profit
Nope
Nadjia still the best choice for m+?
Just use Theotar
If you play Sub and Sin, you can use Assa with Nadja and Sub with Theotar everywhere
It's very minimal
Thanks
Theo is best friend
Yo guys
Ive only been playing for like 2 weeks and I got this
People told me its good, should I use it, or sell it or what?
Either or
If you like gold sell it, if you like gear equip it
It doesnt look better than my current one tho but im not sure
Just sell it
my current one has a prismatic socket I legit dont know what that is lol
You put a gem in it for extra stat
Yeh, you can put a gem in it to get +16 of either haste, crit, versatility or mastery
Alright
tyvm
hey folks anybody uses this trinket?
https://www.wowhead.com/item=186437/relic-of-the-frozen-wastes?bonus=6805#comments
it sims better then my 236 ooze but it looks like 💩 in details
maybe im not using it right
i wonder why it sims so good 🤔
where does salvaged fusion amplifier the trinket show up in details?
As damage
looks like this
see frozen heart + nerrubian ambush
yeah on cd
tried on dummy
it's like 1min cd
im feeling like just adding it on envenom ability macross
will strike every on min or so
dont see the need to manually press it in particular time
I think that’s a bad habit but if it works for you do it mate
Is deathspikes a valid option in m+?
don't see it mentioned in FAQ but seems decent on hero damage
it's valid. It's just not going to be as good as zoldyck
and right now, bonespike bug would make that hard to recommend crafting above level 4
Yea thats fair, recently started gearing my rogue so resources are pretty limited and if I can get a leggo that works for multiple specs then certainly a plus
Will likely just funnel ash and make them all I guess
obedience is your best bet if you want one leggo that works for multiple specs, but you'll have to go venthyr
Yes was considering that, but I really enjoy the SBS mini game 
agreed, bone spikes ftw.
yep I sure did
wish someone put it in pins
think it would help
to report the bug I mean
I'm having trouble reaching max stacks on Flag when playing Assa. Is it to be expected or am i doing something wrong? I just don't feel like i get enough CP in the Flag window to do it.
Deathspike sucks now don’t make it
That’s normal, you’ll average around 20-24 stacks
it's only simming 50 dps behind zoldyck's for me.. both 262..
That's what i'm around. Thanks!
You do you man. Not worth it IMO but hey, to each their own 
I haven't crafted it. I was just shocked it was that close.
do the sims reflect the bug?
no
I just wish we had old deathspike 
well, blame outlul for that.
I might craft it at 235 just for daily quest stuff..
I've got like 15k soul ash just sitting around..
They could’ve just made it so the additional spikes didn’t flurry and it would’ve been fine 
I messed around with it on ptr for a while, and it was so much fun to play with
Yea, It was a ton of fun on the PTR... I feel like the current implementation was a very quick fix. My confidence in their ability to get it right is pretty low though based on the current state.
why tf cant I do chapter 9 of Revendreth campaign
what renown are you
Have 1 thing in Korthia atm
haven't done a whole lot there wanted to finish this shite first
the questlines all come from korthia
Thought thats a different campaign
RIP the nerzhul helmet unholy set bonus dream
I thought you could set lootspec after the kill .. 
@balmy condor yo whisp, is it normal that 262 doomblade sims a bit higher then obidience
or is my shit just funky

yeah that's kinda normal
nope

exists
how many targets should you use fan of knives as sin?
3+ ?
3 to apply poisons, 4 to generate
copy, ty ❤️
can someone explain to me 1) why blindside isn't taken and 2) why obedience isn't used when clearly they are pointed out to be the best
so what conduits yall running for M+? have been playing sin in M+ this week and it feels pretty good. im necro, usually just run outlaw but my ST slaps on Sin and aoe isnt to bad even with the wrong leggo
just cuz of the aoe obviously and its not single target
there is no execute on sylvannas and EP/Vigor is better for multi target which is p1 and p2 as well as good times to pool energy in P3. As far as the lego. Doomblade requires very little execution to be close to its sim dps while obedience requires a good amount of execution to get full value
at least thats my take
but doomblade is used throughout the whole raid, is obedience that difficult to maintain fully?
its not really that its difficult to maintain
it's that there are outside factors that can dampen its strengths in a fight such as downtime / mechanics
ye
you can fuck up with obidience in theory, if you somehow manage to screw up a flag window
used it too late/used it and then need to move etc....
and even then, the gains for obedience are very minimal for sin
so it's just not worth
Has anyone noticed how much the sbs bug actually affects raid dps? It’s noticeably annoying in keys with the dot disappearing but it doesn’t seem to be very impactful in raid… that’s just my opinion though
it's more impactful in aoe
Yeah nothing like putting your garrotes up, CT, go into an SBS.. oh wait it’s on CD. Or go to snipe a mob with a charge off CD and it remains on CD. Feelsbadman
I hope they fix it so I can be more secure in my necro overlords :3
Crit/Haste for Obedient lego right
crit haste for sin only, haste versa for multispec iirc
mm not sure which to go with xd
is Necrolord better then venthyr in M+?
if SBS bug gets fixed they are near each other
oke ty 😄
for me EP/Vig sims 100 DPS lower for ST than BS/DS
which seems like it makes sense but basically all the top logs use EP/Vig, even for pure ST like guardian
Man Cant decide whether to go haste or vers idk if i'll end up playing a different spec
Cloak vers is also good for assa
Difference between the 2 stats isn't that big
The amount of secondary stats on cloak is also the lowest I think if you compare it to other pieces
I mean you could sim haste/crit vs crit /vers in top gear
See how big the difference is
Hm true
The reason you take the haste crit is because that’ll be consistent. The rest of your pieces you can change or gem/chant
