But ion every scenario you’ll want at minimum that crit haste

polar ice
#

Whats your playstyle. If you play risky to eek out a bit more damage go verse for hp, etc... if your laser focused on being in front of mechanics, go crit for a little extra damage

regal ledge
#

hm not much difference in it apparently

zinc frost
#

Can’t really go wrong with either crit/haste or crit/vers on cloak. Crit/vers if you like to dabble in sub. But the secondaries are relatively low on cloaks that it won’t make a huge dps loss/increase

strange python
#

Hey guys. I mostly Prog Mythic Raid and do only 4 15+'s a week for vault. I plan to raid Sin and M+ outlaw. What are your thoughts on going Venth for that?

#

Guy in outlaw channel suggest I go venth?

zinc frost
#

I’d be suggesting venth until they sort out the SBS bugs. Especially if you’re progging mythic raid you’ll want venth for ST

strange python
#

What cov is SBS?

regal ledge
#

lmao crit haste simmed 1 dps higher in sub

zinc frost
#

Necro, the bone spikes are bugged and aren’t always giving back charges and/or bleeds falling off when they aren’t meant to

azure bronze
strange python
#

kk

rigid monolith
#

Also SbS bugs on Sylvanas chains p1

#

It drove me crazy 😄

drifting lily
#

obedience or doomblade for PURE ST

rigid monolith
#

Doomblade, but again as always. Sim urself

#

Both will be put on Back slots

#

so its easy to sim

#

The reason behind Doombalde is, you cant fuck it up. Although Obedience sims tiny bit higher, if you fuck it up during the fight (cause of mechanics) its very punishing

#

So that in real short. However, others might have different opinions

drifting lily
#

im being told by my raid lead that i need to switch and stuff

rigid monolith
#

Its your job to convince him 🙂

#

Maybe he is also thinking about you have to go sub on some fights (Mythic Guardian for example) Then you cant use Doomblade.

drifting lily
#

i plan to craft it, it just blows that ive been benched for 2 weeks for stupid reasons when i out dps half their raid team

wild beacon
#

You got benched for using a leggo that Sims almost exactly the same as another?

drifting lily
#

being told my conduits are wrong and my gear isnt good enough and so on

#

im 226

thorny pond
#

If you’re in a guild that benches based on legendary babysitting either the guild is shit or the guild is top 100 and you’re shite

#

Either way find a new one

regal ledge
#

thought obedience was the way to go

thorny pond
#

Obedience and Doom are so close ST it doesn’t matter

#

Obedience has a case for fights where you are aoeing more but every fight has a merit where ST matters and more than likely sin is the best for that

#

People run obedience because they are multi spec rogues and run doomblade because they are sin OTP and have the soul ash / legendary already

#

Once that second and 3rd R6 leggo becomes available it’ll get superfluous

regal ledge
#

Hmm so shoulda made doom on cloak instead of obedience first monkaS

thorny pond
#

Literally irrelevant

#

My sim between the 2 is like 50dps apart

blazing island
#

is there a way to sim covenants and legos I havent crafted? currently necro simed venth+nadja but necro is wining on my sims. dont have obvidience lego to use it on sims.

digital zodiac
#

is dungeon slice simming bugged atm? always sims lower than my ST

thorny pond
blazing island
#

tx

thorny pond
#

Then at the bottom choose whatever soulbind

blazing island
#

never noticed it before thx >:<

thorny pond
#

It’s amazing what you just don’t notice everywhere because it’s irrelevant

devout hazel
#

yo guys

#

rq

#

if u have 2 seconds left on shiv and u have 1 second left on garrote

#

but u dont have too much energy for garrote and envenom

#

u can only use envenom

#

u keep the garrote uptime and loose the envenom on shiv

#

or use the envenom

thorny pond
#

Just hit garrote

devout hazel
#

ok

thorny pond
#

You can realistically hit shiv and never envenom in it. Not optimal but a play

#

Unless you are at CP cap

#

Then slam the finisher

#

But you won’t be in that scenario

devout hazel
#

yea i try to be 5 combo point when i can press shiv

#

so in can

thorny pond
#

Since you can pandemic garrote before hitting shiv

devout hazel
#

i can use it

#

true

balmy condor
#

just hit the shiv

devout hazel
#

yes i know

#

hit shiv in cd

#

everytime

thorny pond
#

#slamshiv

devout hazel
#

but i try to check how much time i have left on shiv

#

to get 5 combo point

#

before it appear

thorny pond
#

So if you’re pooling for shiv anyways part of that is getting bleeds set correct

devout hazel
#

i see a lot of people in logs rank1

#

hitting garrote when it have 1 second before finish

#

they dont use pandemic too much

mental trout
#

uhhh almost at the 8k mark =/

rigid monolith
gentle gyro
#

i want to stab you for having both of these trinkets, ngl

rigid monolith
#

how bout dem 252 dagger. Only thing he's missing is sylvanas daggers

gentle gyro
#

i have a 252 dagger as well, only redeeming thing about the loot i got

mental trout
#

yea i am going to craft on back at some point

#

dont have enough ash and cinders

#

about to blow a bunch for outlaw leggo lol

#

simmed with crit and its a little less

mental trout
#

less then 200 difference not to bad

#

so thats what sim says, then you have to account for all the bugs with rogues dmg lol

soft shale
#

man unholy set is op i sim like 1k more

mental trout
#

wonder how much dps that comes out to

#

i swear people said like 500 dps

soft shale
#

yea no

gentle gyro
soft shale
#

maybe rank 1

#

but rank 4 that i run its way more than 500 more like 1k or so

mental trout
#

i mean the bugs

gentle gyro
#

next week will be a rating explosion

mental trout
#

but mine is like 300 at rank 2

gentle gyro
#

wait, 300dps for the set?

magic gale
#

Can't wait to blast

mental trout
#

for rank 2 set

#

it gives me like 300 dps

magic gale
#

I jumped from 7.6k to 8.4k with unholy set

gentle gyro
#

you'll want to have sylvanas' dagger eventually

magic gale
#

I got it first week

gentle gyro
#

and weapons are expensive as shit

magic gale
#

I didn't believe in getting a dagger from vault

gentle gyro
#

fair

magic gale
#

And main hand dagger is biggest dps increase

#

Also does edge of night even exist

#

Haven't seen anyone have it

#

Except top guilds

gentle gyro
#

will be in my vault next week

#

I'm sure of it

magic gale
#

Gl!

#

That would be so pog

#

Well heroic and above would be an upgrade for me

#

But gonna take sometime

gentle gyro
#

actually, the chances are absurdly small I just realized

#

cause I don't have hc sylvanas down

magic gale
#

Exactly

#

That's the reason for upgrading my dagger

gentle gyro
#

so 2/3 vault slots are not the dagger. ah man.

rigid pine
#

Got the dagger from normal sylvans in second week ez

gentle gyro
#

I just want either a socket or the guardian trinket

#

Dagger is unrealistic

#

But i mentally prepare for three cloaks

ruby gust
#

missed the conversation earlier

#

but why is

#

so bad?

simple stratus
#

they fired their trinket designer long ago so all we get is doodoo now

ruby gust
#

so is this like a no go?

#

as the only other trinkets i have are

simple stratus
#

if you want it to do like 2-3% dps sure

ruby gust
simple stratus
#

but theres better

ruby gust
simple stratus
#

go do hard mode taz and get the sack of terror

#

its good

cursive silo
#

Just loot 5Head

ruby gust
#

but out of those 3

#

should i just used flayedwing? because flayedwing sims better

#

but seems shit

cursive silo
#

Just sim lol

#

If it sims better its better

#

At least in st

ruby gust
#

yeah 200 dps better in st, simming aoe now

mental trout
#

not sure if any one answered, but with the bugs to rogue right now like the SBS, i think some thing else is bugged with poisons ? how much of a hit are we taking on dps right now!?

simple stratus
#

i think sims reflect the poison issue, they dont reflect the sbs issue afaik

#

sbs issue doesnt impact a pure st fight, just cleave/aoe

mental trout
#

how does it not? ive already opened up ST for my bonespike to do nothing. surely it does?

limber swallow
#

only reason that should happen is if it gets parried

gentle gyro
#

.

strange python
#

hi guys how do i get the execute lego for poison in torghast

pine pollen
#

Yoo I really like Assassination and I see the sims put it middle of the pack now, do I need to worry about swapping? I haven't looked at all the info surrounding the random outlaw catching up to sub sims. Am I missing anything?

woeful meteor
slow marsh
#

New sims have sin as 3rd spec again

#

Outlaw is 11.78 and sin is 11.5

#

But na you don't need to worry about swapping really. Just play what you want. Rogue does damage and having uh 3 set + trinkets + sylv daggers matter more than the other stuff people like to focus on

mental trout
#

oh wow outlaw is higher!?

#

wait not for ST right lol

#

this is aoe?

slow marsh
#

Yes for st

#

Kyrian playing ghostly is higher than sin on sims

mental trout
#

was just on the outlaw page, where do you find the pins for the outlaw sims?

woeful meteor
#

Isn’t sub still the highest?

slow marsh
#

On simcraft

#

Yes sub is still highest by a lot

woeful meteor
#

Ah nevermind I missread sin and sub in your original message

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear
through Top Gear.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery

#

Can I get a higher level lashign scars anywehre

true lark
#

dumb question is there a good weak aura to show garrote up, only if buffed with subertuge/stealth?

cobalt pelican
#

needs custom coding unless done from tooltip information but they exist yes

quasi scroll
#

does this mean that if I'm 100% and the mob is 51% it has no effect, as soon as the mob gets to 50% health the buff takes effect?

yes

ok ty

#

ayy ya boy is trash, actual garbage, but i finally am able to do +15s and do almost 7k overall compared to maxing at like 5k last week lmao

shoutout to yall for the advice/guides

undone apex
#

anyone else have times where bone spike only gives one combo point even tho I'm throwing it at a second target? I swear sometimes I see it give one

twilit hollow
#

In the pins

undone apex
#

oh wow ty, did a quick google search and didn't see any mention of it, thought maybe I was going crazy

charred terrace
#

I've posted this issue on the forums but it didn't get much attention (only 1 other person seems to be encountering it). I think there is a bug at the moment where Flagellation sometimes bugs out and skips the first part of the ability and just instantly gives 1 stack of the haste buff? I assumed at first it was being parried, but after further reading I found that it can't be dodged, parried or blocked. Wondering if anyone else here has noticed this?

slow marsh
#

i've had that before

#

dunno what caused it

#

i think it was only in m+

charred terrace
#

I've had it happen to me twice in raid too

slow marsh
#

it must be something to do with dropping combat for a second or something weird

olive lion
#

Playing sin in m+ do you just maintain dots on ~3 targets, prio one and get off blade flurry’s when possible?

slow marsh
#

dots on everything and you dont have blade flurry

#

5 bleeds between rupture and garrote and then keep CT up

slim siren
#

do we have a list of anima powers for m+?

#

like which to pick

olive lion
slow marsh
#

it doesn't necessarily lose value but you will energy cap at 5 bleeds. just try to bleed as much as you can while keeping CT up and you'll be fine

wicked briar
#

rookie question but how do you upload logs for a key? only ever done raid logs and don't see anything else coming up on the logger

alpine latch
#

Do we not really run BS at all anymore?

#

Almost every fight most people seem to be running EP

slow marsh
#

sylvanas doesn't have an execute phase and most fights have multiple targets to bleed so not really

alpine latch
#

I just mean i general

#

I'm looking at the rankings for Heroic, and most fights have 6-8 of the top 10 running EP/Vigor

slow marsh
#

yeah it's a feels good thing. also it's better if you have downtime

nimble tartan
#

phasing is also a big thing for some bosses so pushing the dam early has some value

#

seein some sin sylv poggies

limber lion
#

And ep/vig wins with multiple targets.

#

And usually is better with PI

arctic walrus
#

The only fight that is justifiable, and what you should be seeing, bs/ds on, is guardian

limber lion
#

Guardian is the only fight I'd run BS/DS

#

Yeh

arctic walrus
#

however people are lazy and dont give a fuck so they play vigor ep, regardless of it being slightly worse, on one fight

velvet nacelle
#

ugh RL has me swapping to the tank adds on fatescribe because our mages can't consistently pull more than 4k dps

limber lion
#

I mean, why wouldn't you swap to them?

#

It's free dps and they need to die

fallen arch
#

Exactly

#

I like the extra bleeds and sbs on those

#

Just keep your bleeds up on boss too and profit

arctic walrus
#

sbs

fallen arch
#

Ye fuck that

manic pebble
#

What’s sbs

fallen arch
#

I’m gonna keep playing that shit

#

Until they fix

#

And be happy

velvet nacelle
#

not the intermission adds

#

the shade of destiny mobs

#

if i don't get full cp before i run across the room to hit them i can barely even get a rupture on them before they die

kindred shuttle
#

YO sorry to interrupt, is set bonus from frost dom sockets better for aoe then the bonus from unholy? anyone tried?

#

i am going to sim it just wanted to know if its not waste of time

spice spire
#

There’s no aoe fight in raid whispyrthinking

kindred shuttle
#

i am asking for m+

velvet nacelle
#

every fight is aoe if you try hard enough

kindred shuttle
#

should have calrified

velvet nacelle
#

don't think that the set bonuses apply outside of the raid

spice spire
#

Only in the maw and korthia

kindred shuttle
#

hmm and here i thought it does

spice spire
#

Raid happens to be in the maw

kindred shuttle
#

well played blizzard

velvet nacelle
#

(it's dumb)

kindred shuttle
#

indeed

#

we shall wait till 9.1.5

#

fingers crossed

velvet nacelle
#

i do understand that their world (development) is simpler without set bonuses and with these kinds of restrictions in place

#

but it does not make for a more fun experience

sonic schooner
#

yea set bonus are only active in the Maw and Korthia (which includes the current raid)

fallen arch
#

And torgy

fallen arch
fathom flax
#

Does fusion amp proc off white attacks or everything?

#

The text reads like white swings but the sims have it good for aoe so I guess all attacks?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

it works on everything

fathom flax
#

Got a 252 totem and eye will die tonight so a crack at 252 gland, which is personally don’t like

#

Thanks

#

I just don’t like dps trinkets that have a negative effect attached, pray4252phial

hollow river
#

what is helter skelter/beastlord/ultraxion?

balmy condor
#

sim types

hollow river
#

yeah ik that, i meant like what types are they

balmy condor
#

by default it's a boss with adds, how many and how often changes based on the fight

hollow river
#

hmm

balmy condor
#

I think ultraxion also has a forced intermission

#

but I'm not sure

hollow river
#

trying to sim for sitatuations like fatescriibe

#

or kt

#

hectic add cleave doesn't seem correct

balmy condor
#

nothing fits those fights

hollow river
#

rough

#

i'm bored

balmy condor
#

I don't think it's worth trying to optimize for some add cleave on those fights anyway

hollow river
#

oh?

balmy condor
#

you would just play ep/vig/ct and take doomblade like normal

#

and if you don't need the add damage

#

you would just play pb

hollow river
#

well i'm more so playing sub on these fights

balmy condor
#

same logic but instead of ep/vig/ct it's just tornado/no tornado

hollow river
#

yeah

#

idk, looking for ways to optimize

balmy condor
#

but it's so specific to your raid

hollow river
#

without looking at big 7 PI logs

#

yep

balmy condor
#

like adds on fatescribe don't even live long enough for a tornado for me on heroic

hollow river
#

really?

balmy condor
#

yes

hollow river
#

our raid has warlocks and mages doing like 8-10k dps at times

#

and 2 sub rogues

#

and we have time lol

balmy condor
#

we have 2 warlocks, 2 hunters, and a demon hunter

#

those adds get blasted

#

oh and a frost dk

hollow river
#

ye we have 2 hunters 1 DH too

balmy condor
#

he just uses breath and they're gone

hollow river
#

and 2 DKs

#

but everyone busy trying to make sure the runes get done correctly etc

#

we downed it today

balmy condor
#

I would optimize for fatescribe, but we fucking hold dps anyways so honestly whats the point ya know

velvet nacelle
#

got the normal sylvanas dagger, still missing 5 shards though so i'm pretty sure i'll need to get all 5 before i get the last unholy

hollow river
#

we hold boss dps sometimes

#

never add dps

balmy condor
#

standing there with my dick in my hand for 20 seconds waiting for tank adds

hollow river
#

o.o

#

where is your raid at? AOTC yet?

#

wondering what good CD usage for sin looking like on Sylvanas/KT

velvet nacelle
#

we just started pulling heroic fatescribe tonight, too many idiots don't understand the runes though so i think this is gonna be a multi week wall

#

why do you hold dps?

#

oh to not force the intermission before the add?

limber lion
#

Don't wanna get the tank add just before intermission

#

So you do the tank add, kill it and then phase.

hollow river
#

our biggest issue on fatescribe was too many people calling for back up imo.

velvet nacelle
#

yeah, our dps isn't nearly good enough that we've had to worry about it, makes sense to hold dps though

hollow river
#

like calling for back up on the innermost 2-3 runes is absolutely unnecessary and overcomplicates it

velvet nacelle
#

we have had a few overlaps that sucked

hollow river
#

well there's like 2 overlaps that suck anyway

#

the big circle debuff+beams is 1

velvet nacelle
#

honestly i'd rather hold dps than get told to play sub optimally, especially when i'm trying to fine tune as is

#

fair enough yeah

#

i feel like our group needs too much hand holding for the runes

velvet nacelle
#

we haven't even successfully finished p1 of the runes yet

hollow river
#

o.O

velvet nacelle
#

i mean we have in normal

hollow river
#

we were hard stuck for like an hr

#

on p1

velvet nacelle
#

but now that it's "random"

hollow river
#

just get the Sanctum WA pack

#

make the Affinity debuff glow and make noise

velvet nacelle
hollow river
#

and get the other one

#

that marks everyone where to go

#

sec

velvet nacelle
#

oh we have that

#

we go tthat tonight i mean

#

and people still constantly fucked it up

hollow river
#

thats one of them

velvet nacelle
#

yeah that's exactly the one we got mid-raid

hollow river
#

same

#

it has a bit too much info

velvet nacelle
#

i really don't think it should be necessary though

hollow river
#

but u can call for healer

#

it shouldn't be

#

not for heroic

velvet nacelle
#

the mechanic doesn't feel THAT complicated

hollow river
#

but it helps everyone get used to the fight

velvet nacelle
#

i haven't looked at it in mythic yet

#

i died moving my rune like 3 times tonight SCREAMING for a healer

hollow river
#

yeah idk what healers are even doing

#

during runes

velvet nacelle
#

used healthstone, health pot, crimson vial, feint and cloak

hollow river
#

yep

velvet nacelle
#

the third time i actually used cv first so that it might reset by the time i got around

#

but then i got hit by a ball so i had to health stone earlier and the cd wasn't ready

#

wouldn't have mattered anyways though

hollow river
#

the inner most rune sucks

vital haven
#

do you put world markers on the ground?

hollow river
#

but u just side step all the balls

hollow river
velvet nacelle
#

i had to go around the wrong way 90% of the circle on the last one because my RL insists that there's no point in having 2 poeple stand on it for the intermissions

vital haven
#

i find in my experience

hollow river
#

markers on players is better

velvet nacelle
#

@hollow river yeah, the balls are easy to dodge i just fucked up

hollow river
#

than on the ground

vital haven
#

if you are calling for backup and say something like star

#

players are gonna instinctively gonna go to star world marker

hollow river
#

yep

#

or at least look at it for too long

#

and try to find the rune

#

is a pain in the ass

velvet nacelle
#

honestly, people should just run towards the runes, figure out which way it needs to go and if it's going that way run to the next rune

#

and if they're all going the right way, just go back to the adds

hollow river
#

^^^^^^^

velvet nacelle
#

pre-assigning them makes people who AREN'T assigned lazy

#

and they dont' go out

hollow river
#

if i have the debuff, and am not assigned, i do literally this

velvet nacelle
#

same

hollow river
#

ill literally int my dps

#

to make sure everyone is good

#

then go back to dps

velvet nacelle
#

i got literally yelled at because i was trying to make it go the opposite direction when it was literally right next to it

#

they wanted to make it go all the way around

young nacelle
hollow river
#

well in some cases if ur that far

#

and they don't get on the rune fast

#

you die

velvet nacelle
#

that's what happened, we had one on the outer ring, it was like 90% to go the wrong way (with 1 person) and 10% to go the right way

#

and they blamed me for getting on it at all for why we wiped

hollow river
#

if ur on it right when it stops im pretty sure u can make it all the way around

velvet nacelle
#

it wasn't even halfway around when we wiped

hollow river
#

but with 2 people, if 1 doesn't know how to make their character go forward correctly

#

u are screwed

velvet nacelle
#

you know what i kinda wish it was, instead? instead of standing on the rune, i wanted it to be a hamster ball

#

just get on the right circle and run

hollow river
#

u can literally side-step the orbs, and still be moving the rune

#

but people stop altogether

heavy moss
#

Anyone can help a fellow rogue choosing between obedience and doomblade? whats the best raiding legendary. I see all the rogues using doomblade but obedience sims higher for me

hollow river
#

and get off the rune

velvet nacelle
#

yeah, the rune mechanic honestly is not that hard

young nacelle
#

if obed sims higher, use that

hollow river
#

^

velvet nacelle
#

obedience is more fun imo

#

but i actually seem to do better with doomblade

sonic schooner
#

but tiny toxic blade feelscryman

hollow river
#

obedience is a better all around as well, can use for raid and m+

young nacelle
#

yeah i see everyone rockin doomblade but i like the way obed plays so i refuse to swap back peepaShrug

velvet nacelle
#

i think i'm not good at getting doomblade immediately off cd

hollow river
velvet nacelle
#

er.. flag

#

btu i can get better at that

#

i think obedience sims like 15 better for me than doomblade

#

so it's probably a wash

young nacelle
#

its really fucky on kt, so that may be the one fight i craft doomblade for, but it seems fine for everything else peepaShrug

sonic schooner
#

Well i ve seen some big pvp tiny toxic blade oneshot 10k shiv prayge

#

maybe in pve one day

velvet nacelle
#

tiny toxic blade looks hilarious for pvp

#

but i haven't farmed enough soul ash to have one

#

i still need to make zoldycks for m+... and i've needed to since last tier but i stopped playing

#

@young nacelle yeah i keep finding myself getting flag off cd when i'm in a bad position to use it: no cp or energy

#

and that's just poor play

#

i'm just not used to the changing timing

#

with doomblade the timing felt pretty natural

young nacelle
#

i mean you dont have to do anything special with doomblade

velvet nacelle
#

i mean the flag timing

young nacelle
#

wear it and forget it lmao

velvet nacelle
#

like i don't think i find myself in bad positions with flag when i use doomblade nearly as often

#

maybe just rose colored glasses looking back though

young nacelle
#

i dont throw flag right away when it comes up, but it still lines up with my 3rd vendettas just fine so holding it for 5-10 sec isnt a huge deal imo

velvet nacelle
#

but yeah, i end up having to build cp and pool after flag comes off cd sometimes with obedience and that's an awful feeling

young nacelle
#

i mean i do the same and it feels fine for me.

velvet nacelle
#

it never seems to come off cd when i'm at like 3cp and 80 energy, it's always 0 and 0 from poor awareness

young nacelle
#

ill hold it for anywhere from like 20-30 sec to line it up with 3rd vendetta so

velvet nacelle
#

if i wasn't push to talk, my raid would hear me say "OH COME ON" at least once a pull from it

young nacelle
#

thats why i keep myself muted

#

lmao

velvet nacelle
#

i made my weak aura for flag coming off cd more noticeable just now though so we'll see if i can do better with it next week

#

dude, i accidentally open mic'd during game 5 of the nba finals

#

and i was rooting for phoenix

#

pre pull you just hear "FUCK"

young nacelle
#

if i had a dollar for every time i screamed at myself for hitting rupture instead of envenom, or garrote instead of mutilate or overcapping cp or using finishers at 4 cp instead 5 or 6

velvet nacelle
#

and they stopped the timer for me

young nacelle
#

id own a fuckin mansion

velvet nacelle
#

"everything ok?"

young nacelle
velvet nacelle
#

"uh... yeah i accidentally hit the pot button, didn't mean to open mic that"

young nacelle
velvet nacelle
#

hmm, i'm not really too enamored with the sylvanas dagger so far from training dummy work

young nacelle
#

most of the rogues i know hate me for having it but im like

#

idk its kinda shit

velvet nacelle
#

it'll probably feel better on something that can actually get more than one stack

young nacelle
#

id rather have not gotten it week 1 if it meant id actually be looting dom sockets instead of fucking cloaks

velvet nacelle
#

i only have 4 shards, 2 unholy and 2 blood

#

which almost guarantees i need 5 more to finish unholy

young nacelle
#

legit have looted a cloak from soulrender and 2 from guardian in the past 2 weeks

#

im actually raging

#

3 blood, 3 frost, nowhere to fucking put them.

#

1 unholy

#

and surprise surprise, i actually have the helm

#

dumb system. im angy

velvet nacelle
#

i have 2 dom sockets now

young nacelle
velvet nacelle
#

i really hate this system

#

i miss class sets

young nacelle
#

yeah i have a 2nd one but i dont have the frost or blood main sockets to run any 3 sets so

#

i hate it here

is there a certain point you have to get to into the campaign quests to be eligible for legendary powers to drop?

thx sir

if i get blindisde procs during opener should i be using them over mut?

slow marsh
#

Yo Cev do you have any pointers for heroic sylvanas? Other than lolgetUHbonusnoob

#

Or anyone else who has smashed that fight

limber lion

Nothing really

P3 is just about staying spread and pumping into the boss as much as possible

#

If someone has debuffs when Banshee's Fury happens, it'll kill your team.

#

So it's necessary to not soak the puddles and for healers to dispell them asap

limber lion
#

That's pretty much the reason you wiped there

balmy condor
#

I was in your position too

#

And then got dyz nuts

#

And all was well

wild beacon
#

Thanks for good vibes

#

Going to be good to finally see it

balmy condor
#

Reset comes soon, set bonuses for all

wild beacon
young nacelle
#

yeah my guilds clearing norm tomorrow so, guaranteed shard from sylv Prayge

balmy condor
#

But also fuck the bonuses I went from like 5th on the meters to stomping because rank 3 set bonus was worth 1k dps

#

Demonic system

wild beacon
#

Yeah it's such a weird thing, not sure what they were smoking

idle star
#

Yeh im trying sin tonight. Its literally 100 dps behind my sub setup st. Why wouldnt i just play it

fallen arch
#

If they’re close I’d play the most comfortable spec

#

So you can focus on other things

tiny ember
limber lion
#

Soon, brother.

tiny ember
#

Brothers what if in the reset I get Unholy helmet activator and Heroic sylvanas dagger

limber lion
#

Well

#

Don't hype yourself up too much

#

That's very unlikely to happen

#

But it might

tiny ember
#

I don't know if I would be happy or not

balmy condor
#

You would go into the moon

idle star
#

Watch me still parse crap even with the set lol

tiny ember
#

Think the play is to pick up daggers since leather can trade you helmet and I'm the only rogue in the guild

pseudo hamlet
#

Are we using the frost or the unholy set bonus with dom sockets?

tiny ember
#

oh well doesn't matter cause it won't fucking drop for me

pseudo hamlet
#

Also, are the set bonuses better than ilvl of the items? I am just starting to raiding this patch and I've got a 252 items, but not sure if I should trade lower ilvl items with dom sockets to others or keep them?

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Set bonus is crazy

balmy condor
pseudo hamlet
#

Thanks guys ❤️

limber lion
balmy condor
#

Zed is still 1.3-2% dps, makes up for the 0.3% or whatever frost is ahead on bloodmallet with giga crit

tiny ember
#

When I finally get unholy set they will nerf it as they did echoing void... and we will start playing blood set

balmy condor
#

They would have to nerf frost as well for blood to be good

slow marsh
#

Is frost 2nd best instead of blood now ?

#

Wait yeah wtf why is frost higher than UH in bloodmallet

balmy condor
#

Because the set bonus is stronger at that gear level

#

But you would lose zed

#

Which doesn’t make up for it

arctic walrus
#

You mean dyz?

fallen arch
#

Shit these shard names

#

Hella confusing

limber lion
#

No, we'd keep Duz

#

Dyz

slow marsh
#

But when we get 5 slots we will be going frost ?

arctic walrus
#

No dawg unholy is best

#

And your other 2 shards are the dmg gems of the other colors

slow marsh
#

For now sure but later it looks like frost

limber lion
#

Eh

balmy condor
#

So you lose zed

hollow river
#

i saw outlaw gang talking about using Frost

balmy condor
#

3 unholy has zed

hollow river
#

but not as good for other specs

arctic walrus
#

Whispyr

#

I don’t know what the fuck

#

Any of these shard names are

hollow river
balmy condor
fallen arch
#

They should have named them differently

#

Girl names would have been nice

#

Easier to remember

hollow river
#

"Shard of Blood 1, 2, 3"

eager river
fallen arch
#

Shard of Felicia, Amanda

arctic walrus
#

So are you saying that frost is better than unholy whisp

#

How so

balmy condor
#

No

arctic walrus
#

With what

balmy condor
#

I am not

#

I’m saying unholy is better

arctic walrus
#

Okay so this guy is dumb then

balmy condor
#

Because you get an extra dps gem

limber lion
#

Yes

arctic walrus
#

Sometimes I take for granted people regurgitate what you tell em

limber lion
#

watch some people go full crit builds with frost

arctic walrus
#

So I assumed it was you

balmy condor
#

The frost set bonus, compared to the unholy set bonus, with enough gear, is better

limber lion
balmy condor
#

But that’s set bonus vs set bonus

#

In a vacuum

#

And that’s not what the comparison actually is

#

Cause the comparison should be whats the best combination of 5 gems

#

And 3 unholy, bek (blood dps) and cor (frost dps)

hollow river
balmy condor
#

Is that combination

slow marsh
#

So what you're saying is that since I'm running dashing and have 38% crit already with garrosh trinket that I should go frost

limber lion
#

And there isn't really any optimization done for the unholy set

arctic walrus
#

Then who the fuck is ZED BRO

limber lion
#

Which would push it even higher slightly.

#

in real situations

arctic walrus
#

Ah yes optimize around the random proc

slow marsh
#

I'm jk jk

limber lion
#

That's why we don't optimize the sims around it

#

but you would play around it yourself

#

To some extent.

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

Zed at rank 5 is like almost 2% dps

arctic walrus
#

Dude there is no shot you actually think zed is impactful

hollow river
slow marsh
#

No shot

#

2%

#

No shot tho

torpid valley
#

trying to some how

balmy condor
#

2% makes up for the difference between set bonuses

#

Easily

torpid valley
#

link my stream anyone know where i canm ppost it

slow marsh
#

All for pressing one button every 30 secs

torpid valley
#

it wont let me on rogue streamers

slow marsh
#

Ez

limber lion
#

It sometimes bugs out

#

You don't have to post about it anywhere

arctic walrus
#

Nowhere, if the channel ain’t working it’s bugged try getting the role again also wrong place

balmy condor
limber lion
#

as long as your Twitch is connected to your Discord

hollow river
#

one of the shards give u dps for pressing Tricks?

#

x.x

balmy condor
#

Well not really

vestal wren
#

discord is not even showing twitch linked in this case

torpid valley
#

I did

arctic walrus
#

Do u have streamer mode on

balmy condor
#

It gives damage when you get beneficial effects

#

Works on vial and vanish and all sorts of shit

vestal wren
#

but there is a caching issue with the bot too i haven't found a solution too

torpid valley
#

i do

slow marsh
#

So if zed didn't exist then frost would be better?

balmy condor
#

Yes

hollow river
#

so is it worth it "wasting" GCDs for Tricks and Vials

torpid valley
#

i did

hollow river
#

inside rotation?

torpid valley
#

now

arctic walrus
balmy condor
vestal wren

balmy condor
#

1 min icd

hollow river
#

thought i was gonna have to start pressing Tricks

#

phew

balmy condor
#

The sad truth is that it’s a second unholy damage gem, when the others don’t have a second damage gem

slow marsh
#

Oh easy then so it procs off vanish on opener and then the random vials I chug

balmy condor
#

And even though it’s not huge

#

It’s something

#

And something is better than nothing

arctic walrus
#

That’s where you’re wrong

#

Survivability is UNCALCULABLE VALUE

balmy condor
#

This is also putting aside the fact that frost is just superior defensively yeh

hollow river
#

we are here for zugzug

balmy condor
#

Raw numerically, unholy is better damage

arctic walrus
#

Dude imagine working your way up to a frost set

Iam good at hc raid, 97-99% logs, but on m+i just sux, and cant figure it out its my random party pulls sux or i sux or coz i run with doomblade in m+...

why is doomblade meta in m+ , are we weaving in muts and envenoms now

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

wild beacon
tropic pike
#

still feels weird that rotation is dependent on 2 crit procs

#

unless i misunderstood

vocal pasture
#

Okay, well it states you can use bonespike if necro which makes more sense

wild beacon
vocal pasture
tropic pike
#

ok fair

wild beacon
#

again i'm just feelycrafting

tropic pike
#

i did it twice on a dummy and had no crit but i guess thats just mega unlucky

#

cos now in open world trying it out and seems more consistent

vocal pasture
#

Like in theory at least one ability will crit everytime even with 0 %crit on gear

#

And it's just the opener where having one more bleed on the target is better I think

tropic pike
#

ye was just abit cnfused thanks for clearing that up guise

tropic pike
#

assuming using venthyr cov

limber lion
#

NO

#

You use Vendetta after you have both garrote and rupture on the target.

So flag > rup > vend

thx 😄

void needle
#

Anyone know if we should be playing around our unholy set?

limber lion
#

You don't necessarily play around it too much

#

But you should use common sense

#

If you have 13 stacks and your Vendetta just comes off cooldown, you might wanna wait for the 15th stack before slamming it

#

Unless you know you'll miss a cast by waiting.

#

It's usually safe to hold your very last vendetta/vanish for the unholy proc

#

Losing casts is never worth though.

void needle
#

Ah okay, I best go sort a weak aura then. Thanks!

Me when unholy set active at the begining of the p2 of sylvanas

gentle gyro
#

why are so many people going ct on fatescribe

like i get it, there are the small adds

but shouldn't they just die to all your ranges anyways

fallen arch

Because its extra dam

at the cost of st

fallen arch

Why wouldn’t you

Also pb is pretty meh

timid talon

people really overvalue pb lol

fallen arch

Don’t overvalue pb

#

On a moving boss

gentle gyro
#

like i don't think pb is cool or sth

#

it just is better for st, is all

timid talon
#

pb is marginally better than CT for st

#

and if the boss moves at all CT can be ahead

gentle gyro
#

i still think ct should be baseline

timid talon
#

I think that whole row should be reworked

gentle gyro
#

idk what the idea is to gate ae behind a talent

#

imagine if blizzard for frost mages was a talent and a talent only

#

for now I usually ignore adds on fights because they die too fast anyways to bother with

#

might change on mythic

#

or if the number of frost mages in my raid team decreases

vagrant delta
#

ive been just applying the dot to the adds, then using them to funnel boss, dunno if that is what i should be doing though lol

gentle gyro
#

I guess it deals more damage, but I have this voice in the back of my head that would call it padding

#

like, not ct, but using rupt/gar

vagrant delta
#

i feel like its only padding if you are damaging something that doesnt need to die, those adds need to die, so

gentle gyro
#

yeah but if they would die regardless on time because there are 3 frozen orbs on them, aren't you "wasting" damage that could be used for st?

vagrant delta
#

yeah, but they will die faster with your dot on them

sinful citrus
#

You generate energy from dotting them so it's st funnel damage

Hey all, im starting a rogue and i have one covenant question. I was reading some discussions and even faq here, but i cant find answer to my question. Well im planning to do both mythic+ and raids (but slightly more m+(like 60%m+ 40%raid)) So with this is it better to go venthyr or necrolord? (That means, when i wanna do both mythic and raiding) Thanks a lot for answers!

#

Btw if im just blind, and there is written answer somewhere i will delete this post, just tell me

I truly enjoy Necrolord for dungeons and I find the playstyle a lot more engaging. However, I can't really recommend Necro with the current state of SBS.

233 isnt high and there is more good stuff than just the unholy set that makes a difference

Do you have daggers? do you have trinkets? are you venthyr? lots of factors

i have 226 Fusion Amplifier and 226 Solehs trinket. 229 dagger is my highest

most people parsing high atm have like 10 ilvl on you so i wouldn't stress it

it will even out over time

give it 4-5 weeks and everyone will have more stable gear

you don't line up them both unless you know it's the last cast you get in the fight, in the opener you vendetta after flag
