It passed with flying colours

somber hill
#

idk it could be a bug who knows

hollow river
#

Hhhahahah

muted ridge
#

Yo does anyone know how to 100% counter the knock from Remnant on mythic while using MD tactic?

muted ridge
#

are you guys shadowstepping to one static target or yolo on boss?

hollow river
#

Domination shard set bonuses were nerfed

limber lion
#

THE SET EFFECT NERF HAS BEEN REVERTED ON EU

thorny pond
#

I don’t ever leave boss

harsh anchor
#

You guys better take down your forum posts ranting about the "nerf"

muted ridge
#

ye ofc shadowstep

alpine latch
#

If I had to guess, someone was probably fucking around to see how to make them all "even", and it accidentally got merged into the Live repo.

hollow river
muted ridge
#

@thorny pond yeah but if you are outside bomb, you have to 50/50 or shadowstep to something

limber lion
#

No

lost mist
limber lion
#

Unfortunately.

#

Or not

timid talon
#

ok its reverted

hearty basin
#

ccnnn

timid talon
#

EVERYONE CALM DOWN ITS REVERTED

pallid panther
#

reverted?

hollow river
#

NA reverted?

shrewd flume
#

yes it got reverted

dark token
#

nah they probably reverted eu because it's supposed to be with reset

strange python
#

@limber lion for your pin, it's reverted on NA too.

muted ridge
strange python
#

It will likely go live next week with more notice.

#

Most of the outrage has been on no notice

vestal chasm
#

Whats this rip dual specing? I'm about to craft obedience. Is assassin viable at all for M+? Should I do crit haste or crit vers?

indigo mulch
#

I don't get it, i don't even see any nerfs 😮

vestal wren
paper cairn
#

It just got reverted

vestal chasm
#

I've red the faqs

paper cairn
#

back to 750

paper cairn
#

whats going on at blizz

solid venture
#

fastest 180 in the west

hollow talon
#

i dont know how i feel about this

quasi venture
#

They waited until echo killes sylvanas to do some mathkekw

exotic pulsar
#

so it kills dual speccing

vestal chasm
cedar star
#

wait

#

did the nerf just get reverted

exotic pulsar
#

yes

cedar star
#

lmao

#

yay i get my 350 dps back

XD

limber lion
#

Final update to the pin

#

FOR NOW

#

😓

oak sky
#

what a day

indigo mulch
#

EU players didnt even get to feel the nerf though 😦

heavy forge
#

maybe put a warning to hold on upgrading gems for now

limber lion
#

Memento quit their raid at 46.3% Sylvanas

wind totem
#

Was literally reading the pin when it was edited lmao

limber lion
#

because of the nerf

#

They were meant to kill it today

indigo mulch
#

Oh

limber lion
#

but they called it because of the nerf

indigo mulch
#

Rough, i don't even have 3 unholy sockets yet

#

Or the dom gear

#

feelsgoodman

alpine latch
#

Do we know how much Party Favors will give us in relation to flasks?

indigo mulch
#

I shouldnt complain all to much though, my first vault i get 252 dagger, the second vault i get 252 phial :/

pseudo pilot
#

if the nerfs are reverted, rogues still favor UH set?

granite thistle
#

Nerfs are in next week

#

they confirmed it in a tweet

placid pagoda
#

Shard nerfs just got reverted

dark token
#

all this makes me do is not spend stygia embers ever

deft obsidian
#

My biggest gripe

#

Spending my embers so far 😂

hollow talon
#

bro what is this horse shit

alpine latch
#

Got a link to the tweet?

obsidian socket
#

Shart nerf oh boy

placid pagoda
granite thistle
obsidian socket
#

Jump ship to frost + dashing scoundrel bois!!!

fierce lantern
#

thats not confirming it being in next week

obsidian socket
#

KappaKappa

hollow talon
indigo mulch
#

I would love for frost + dashing to be bis.

#

I actually like dashing way more than i do both obe and doom :/

fleet anchor
#

So downside to them potentially reverting the hotfixes as it looks like

obsidian socket
#

I’m just looking for something new ngl

fleet anchor
#

They also reverted the "fix" to the Frost set as part of the full revert

#

So Frost is still fubar until they reapply

#

So don't use Frost 🙂

#

(Again)

strange python
deft obsidian
#

Wtb full ember refund 👀😂

fleet anchor
#

It was theoretically fixed

#

I didn't have a chance to fully test before the revert

icy fjord
#

id wait till i get the last row for nadjia

slow marsh
#

so pretty much dont upgrade anything until next week

icy fjord
#

before going all in

slow marsh
#

which we get nadjia fatal flaws anyways

obtuse robin
#

the workers staging a walkout got these blizz folks confused

slow marsh
#

which is a big part of why frost dashing works

icy fjord
#

i have to stack to upgrade frost shards too

indigo mulch
alpine latch
#

It's more than likely only un-nerfed for a week

indigo mulch
#

When they fix it, i mean. They will fix it eventually.

alpine latch
#

I would imagine they are much closer to even now

fleet anchor
#

Frost set is honestly pretty annoying to play with

#

Because of the timer

indigo mulch
#

My dashing dream is dead 😦

deft obsidian
#

They need to put forward some proper communication on it. As it has implications across the board

fleet anchor
#

And because of how it goes on a semi-random target

indigo mulch
#

Yeah

alpine latch
fleet anchor
#

20s timer is too long imo

#

Ideally would pulse every 5s or 10s or something

indigo mulch
#

Prob, but i was looking forward playing Dashing. 😢

azure flare
hard pivot
#

Lol Blizz has bigger shit going on at the moment

azure flare
#

nerfing the dom sockets isn't really the play

indigo mulch
#

Anything that speeds up the spec is nice in my opinion.

azure flare
#

certainly not after a month of investment into them with embers

#

if anything they should buff the bosses if they're that concerned

alpine latch
deft obsidian
#

It’s not so much the nurf and revert. Mistakes are made, it’s the nurf itself I have concerns with. As many still clearing mythic etc etc

azure flare
#

yeah same

alpine latch
#

Yeah, in that regard, I'm right there with you.

hollow river
#

So they’re still getting nerfed next week

lone wren
#

This has been such a fun day so far

alpine latch
#

I hate how games always try to nerf the top performer instead of buffing the underperformer

fleet anchor
#

However in theory

#

If and when these hotfixes are reverted

#

And if Frost turns out to be fixed

#

Frost is probably going to be the strongest, Dashing or not

limber lion
#

Yeh most likely

fleet anchor
#

For Assassination anyway

limber lion
#

Dashing Frost is gonna be pretty nutty though, if I may say so myself

obtuse robin
#

so keeping my unholy at desolate got it

fleet anchor
#

It seemed about 1% higher for me with my current Doomblade setup with the hotfixes applied

#

Assuming it worked

lone wren
#

Damn

deft obsidian
#

I don’t even mind variety of shard sets, just tilted a tad by embers

lone wren
#

That would mean with dashing it's a clear winner

fleet anchor
#

But it's really a lot of unknowns atm

wild beacon
#

yean no chance i'm investing embers at this stage

graceful halo
#

wont we always be using the 3 dps shards?

cerulean bear
#

Hey guys, which leg should i craft as venthyr assa rogue for M+ and raiding ?

steel bane
#

frost + dashing being BIS applies to every covenant ?

alpine latch
#

I hate to say it, but damn FFXIV is looking nicer and nicer. This game is turning into a shit show.

limber lion
#

I simmed it with and without Fatal Flaw

#

and FF just pulls it quite a bit further ahead

hollow talon
#

am i wrong that it gives guilds who cleared mythic pre nerf a rather large advantage

slow marsh
#

yep 20% crit is massive

cobalt gyro
#

trust me when i tell u the grass only looks greener

hollow talon
limber lion
limber lion
simple wadi
#

this week is probably a rather large advantage if the nerf happens next week

indigo mulch
alpine latch
# limber lion Not sure yet

Do you think we might see a time where we run m+ gear instead of dom sockets since sets are getting nerfed?

cobalt gyro
#

the sockets are pretty good on their own

alpine latch
#

Are they?

echo geyser
cobalt gyro
#

free damage/absorbs/etc

alpine latch
#

I haven't even seen what the play is for m+ in terms of gems

cobalt gyro
#

the frost shards are crazy

lost dock
#

Do you guys stack higher crit for running dashing ?

shy dust
#

Never

real pewter
#

Holy shit frost is absolutely annihilating unholy now

pseudo pilot
#

how are you simming prechanges already

slow marsh
#

don't downgrade to stack crit. that being said crit is higher value when running frost set

real pewter
#

It's not prechanges, changes already happened

hollow river
pseudo pilot
#

ok changes happened in raidbots just not live

hollow talon
#

dashing scoundrel looking prety strong for me (venth)

hollow river
pseudo pilot
#

no they just said its reverted didnt they?

cerulean bear
#

obedience or Doomblade for M+ and raiding ?

hollow river
real pewter
#

They definitely happened live

#

All of our raider's unholy dps is waaaay lower

#

cut in half

indigo mulch
#

But dude, didnt they just reveret the Unholy change?

#

I'm confused.

real pewter
#

According to who/

hollow river
#

Yes

hollow talon
split cape
#

they did

hollow river
#

They reverted it

hollow talon
#

they only reverted it because they released it without notice

lone wren
#

Ffs

pseudo pilot
#

so nothing has changed yet on live...

lone wren
#

At this point might as well leave it

obtuse robin
#

is that tweet from jeff gone?

halcyon zealot
alpine latch
#

Okay, so - I already have a rank 6 Obedience cloak. Now I guess I need a rank 6 Dashing?

#

I liked Dashing more anyway, so cool I guess?

indigo mulch
#

I'd wait aswell tbh.

alpine latch
#

I mean, I'm 3 weeks away from making it

hollow river
#

For them to optimize sims next week

#

Ah ok

alpine latch
#

Oh, I know

indigo mulch
#

I still havent crafted my rank 5 one :X

alpine latch
#

I'm just trying to get a plan in my head

lone wren
#

Roll 20 alts just so you can funnel cinders to your main cause nonstop changes

alpine latch
#

I'll sim it all before I do it, lol

hollow river
#

Obviously you see now how fast things can change

frosty cedar
steel bane
#

can you even transfer cinder?

hollow river
#

No

halcyon zealot
#

no

graceful halo
#

if i havent made rank6 doomblade, should i wait? is frost looking that strong?

lone wren
#

I'd wait on spending cinders

alpine latch
#

I only made Obedience because it was a one size fits all thing. I can run it for m+ and raid and it's obnoxiously close to BiS

lone wren
#

I haven't spent mine yet at all. Waiting for things to settle down a bit

proven moth
halcyon zealot
#

i made r6 doom with 0 hesitation tbh

deft obsidian
#

Same

alpine latch
#

I'm an AotC raider that MIGHT kill Painsmith in Mythic

#

Getting my best overall one was more important than squeaking out an extra 30 DPS

proven moth
#

Puggig or not?

wise gull
#

is raidbots reverted?

ebon notch
#

they reverted already hahaha

#

i joined a boost run and 30 mins in the nerf hits

#

we spend 1.5 hours hitting our heads against a wall

#

then they revert

#

cba

indigo mulch
#

From what i've understood so far is that those unholy nerfs are coming but just not yet from what i understood right?

hollow talon
halcyon zealot
#

yes, they are planned to go live.

hollow talon
#

supposed to be happening next week with reset

indigo mulch
#

I mean just sit tight on your embers then

#

ezclap

hollow talon
#

yes but some of us spent them already this week

#

or last week

hollow river
#

No way they refund either

#

They didn’t refund our soul ash for wasted legendaries thanks to new system

still elm
#

you're able to get 55 renown this week right?

frosty cedar
#

seems a bit strange to nerf after prog already began

Nah

lone wren
#

You guys remember infinite stars?

#

And echoing void?

hollow talon
#

No corruption talk pls

#

I'm getting PTSD

lone wren
#

First 2 weeks of raid...yeah ..this is tame in comparison

polar cape
#

rip echoing void still miss you

indigo mulch
#

pls no

lone wren
#

I mean they have got to be doing this on purpose

alpine latch
#

Man, massively stacking Haste made so many specs fun. I miss those days 😢

hollow river
#

They should have just buffed boss health

#

And let us blast

lone wren
#

There is no way anyone there is stupid enough not to have seen this coming at blizzard

#

They repeat the same pattern of "mistakes" then correct them every tier

hollow talon
#

None of this is surprising lol

halcyon zealot
#

never forget

hollow river
#

SBS still bugged for NA isn’t it

lone wren
#

Life is bugged in NA still let alone SBS

somber hill
#

is there a specified bis party favors for theotar?

hollow river
real pewter
#

Did they confirm the changes are coming through next week? I wanna know if I should just upgrade frost stuff

vestal chasm
#

Is it worth getting crit verse on obedience if I want to dual spec? Or is that just dumb and get finality eventually for other spec

limber lion
#

It's under 50 dps

obtuse robin
#

well the bis would be agility

#

no?

hollow river
real pewter
#

Depressing

#

Kk

Anyone have a Theotar soulbind pic to share?

hollow river
#

What’ll you give me for it?

This D

hollow river

Oof

#

It's worth 1000 words

slow marsh
#

Dang do you work for blizzard or what

forest shoal
#

srsly tho, a heartfelt thx would be my best offer

hollow river
#

Gonna be a hard no on that pal

I’m not at the computer rn anyway lol

#

@rigid mango So is vulpera finally bis or what?

hollow river
#

Never

inner pier
#

as it should be, 50% dps gains

upbeat needle
#

Anyone know roughly what the DPS difference between a rank 1 and rank 6 leggo is?

obtuse robin
#

when u drink ur party favors tea and get vers

hollow river
#

Different for everyone

hollow river
vestal chasm
#

so theotar with this tea consumable is best now?

obtuse robin
#

for this week prolly

neon cloak
#

our wow days are counted

hollow talon

No mine still sims lower

hollow talon

Naidja still better for me

hollow river

#

Pls

vestal chasm
#

ok

hollow talon
#

Even with theotar last row

summer tide
#

Are you saying we should sim ourselves

alpine latch
#

IS there ever a reason to use Light Movement over Patchwerk? What's the different in those Sims and are those types of things ever even updated?

hollow river
#

Everyday

#

Even if nothing has changed for you and your gear

#

Just look at your big gamer dps (:

252 phial from vault. So longggggg PF

obtuse robin

what buff does the sim use to sim party favors

hollow river
#

Pray for my vault

#

I hope it’s fat

alpine latch
hollow river
#

Nope

#

Try a light moment sim

#

And check all the info

#

Go to the HTML report

#

And you can see how much

#

In the APL

#

10 DKP TO YOU!

obtuse robin
#

all this complaining about party favors meanwhile nerco boys r pissed

prisma perch
#

is m+ 121 or 221?

upbeat needle
#

How do I sim different leggos if I don't have em made?

slim jay
#

there is an option above the gear to add all the legos at the different ilvls to your sim pool

novel arrow
#

Cna someone explain the unholy 3 set sims to me. I put in my 3 set bonus. As in I put in my 3 gems. and I'm simming for like 100 dps higher

#

is that normal?

limber lion
grizzled orbit
#

Should I wait to craft my 262 doomblade cloak at this point? I have 2 dom socket pieces and no good shards.

limber lion
#

You get the effect that's on the helmet.

slim jay
#

so if this change goes through will we still want heroic dom socket gear over our max m+ cache gear?

idle star
#

I got sylv dagger and my simmed dps hasnt gone up at all

novel arrow
#

oh do I have to check the box in raid buffs?

spiral warren
#

Huh, I sim higher now as Sub in ST than Sin. Is that weird? It's like a 400 dps difference.

echo geyser
#

sub was always better than sin

spiral warren
#

Well I guess that's fine by me. AoE is easier in raids as sub I feel.

prisma perch
#

do we play master poisoner or elab on m+?

vestal chasm
# limber lion Yes.

Ok I'm super confused. Should we all be waiting to craft any lego? I was going in today thinking I am crafting a 262 obedience.

spiral warren
#

Elab

hollow talon
#

i made 262 obe and i kinda regret it

#

willprobably farm up for a dashing now

thanks

rapid lintel
#

what is elab?

limber lion
#

Elaborate Planning

#

A talent.

quasi venture
#

The little glimmer of hope that scoundrel Will be ”ok” with frost is gonna be enough for me to just yolo craft scoundrel tmrw and i Will regret it

rapid lintel
#

thanks

nocturne hawk
#

Dude said it was supposed to be live with resets, they're probably just waiting a week now

spare flame
#

So is it fair to say we have no idea whats happening with shards and everyone should chill until theres anything official or do we know anything

obtuse robin
#

an employie saying he is exhausted

#

monka

nocturne hawk
#

lmao

deft obsidian
#

Yeh essentially hold your cinders and embers until this blows over prayge

im sure the difference is minimal but im restocking so figured id double check

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

limber lion
#

Stones+agi pot sims the highest for me personally anyways

indigo mulch
#

Ugh

#

I really hate that we don't know if they are nerfing unholy or not 😦

#

now i have to sit another week on my cinders :c

arctic hare
#

Just, get more

#

Then you can sit another week on MORE cinders

indigo mulch
#

True!

hollow river
indigo mulch
#

The more the merrier right?

arctic hare
#

indeed lol

#

I haven't been doing my weekly torghast like I've been supposed to

indigo mulch
#

Chorgast and Korthia is the greatest.

hollow river
#

Me neither

arctic hare
#

idm korthia, exxxcept for that one stupid quest that makes you get the razorspine spine?

hollow river
#

Just been u locking each new wing

arctic hare
#

Hated that one lol

#

I haven't been able to do a 10 yet

#

Rn i'm workin on making a 235 zoldyck

hollow river
#

Do them with a group

#

I’ve got 12s unlocked

arctic hare
#

Ew, people lol

#

But yeah, I'll probably have to resort to that

hollow river
#

Hahaha

#

Yeah they get rough by yourself

arctic hare
#

Yeah, the run I did this morning I started off with the legendary Shadowstep one

tribal marsh
#

Did something happen to shards today I saw raidbots bot yell somewhere

arctic hare
#

the one where if you shadowstep, it gives 400% increased dmg to finishers

hollow river
#

Then reverted to normal

arctic hare
#

Lol

hollow river
#

Nerf is planned for next reset

indigo mulch
#

??

#

Noone knows that for sure.

#

😒

arctic hare
#

Its understandable though, aren't they like, super powerful?

tribal marsh
#

Thank you exactly what I was asking for

hollow river
indigo mulch
#

No one has confirmed it :c

hollow river
#

Did you not see the devs tweet?

dull osprey
#

What abilities trigger the "helpful spells and abilities" UH gem?

arctic hare
#

I've tested it a bit

#

its basically any self buff, so slicendice, evasion, etc.

dull osprey
#

Oh sweet. Glad sin doesn't use snd more than once anymore XD

arctic hare
#

hahaha

dull osprey
#

oh wait

#

Feint

arctic hare
#

Yup

dull osprey
#

EZ

arctic hare
#

evasion, feint, the self heal, etc.

deft obsidian
#

Vial, Sprint etc

#

Basically loads of spells

arctic hare
#

pretty much

dull osprey
#

I run elusiveness so I'm constantly slamming that

#

and that list is more than I was thinking. I was worried it was legit out vial

arctic hare
#

Yeah lol

#

its why its one of the BIS for healers

#

Well, hot healers anyways

#

Just imagine, a REsto druid with that one

dull osprey
#

does it count as the healer's damage or the target's?

arctic hare
#

hmm

#

one sec

#

Gotta read the description again

rapid lintel
#

these legendaries suck bro

arctic hare
#

So, afaik, it HELPFUL spells

#

Actually

#

I mean, it counts for my own dmg, so, I'd have to find out from another healer, I got no clue

mint narwhal
#

!opener

rapid lintel
#

dashing scoundrel simming higher for anyone?

#

Whats that do again?

@limber lion

#

i remember you telling me IQD was BiS for sin for certain covenant, but i'm wondering if that holds true in comparison to fusion amp

short ravine
#

Fusion amp is fire on CD right? As long as u get full 20 secs out of it

tidal gorge
short ravine
#

It does a fair amount more in the opener to be honest since it crits for both master assassin and gemstone (if necro)

unborn root
#

I'm torn. Got Sylvanas dagger in my vault but also 252 crit/vers bracers

short ravine
#

Syl dagger at hc?

unborn root
#

yeah

short ravine
#

Pretty sure that shit is bis in off hand for single target

unborn root
#

it is

manic haven
#

Bruh dagger easy surely

arctic hare
#

Why is it not bis for both hands?

unborn root
#

but sylvanas is really easy to kill

short ravine
#

Take the dagger

unborn root
#

we've had it on farm since week 2

manic haven
#

How many have you seen drop?

unborn root
#

0

manic haven
#

Quick maths

short ravine
#

To be fair take bracers

unborn root
#

we do a heroic sale tomorrow and see if it drops

short ravine
#

Although dude... Tarague drops bracers aswel

manic haven
#

Maybe clear heroic in that case and don’t take form vault herb

unborn root
#

not picking anything in vault rn

manic haven
#

Yet*

unborn root
#

Oh you're right

#

ok ez pick

short ravine
#

Go dagger

void pecan
#

I got dog shit from vault this week

short ravine
#

Meh

#

Vault is wank just think of it as bonus

#

Do u have to have killed aylv hc for the daggers to be in ur vault loot table?

unborn root
#

I lied, bracers were haste vers

#

but yeah, still ez dagger im p sure

#

BiS offhand for all 3 specs

arctic hare
#

Why is it only BIS for offhand?

unborn root
#

because you get a 252 mh dagger

#

and weapon DPS >>>>> everything else

arctic hare
#

What if you get a 259?

unborn root
#

I think sub uses 2 sylvanas daggers no matter what though

short ravine
#

Are these bones pike nerfs gna get sorted any time soon?!

unborn root
#

Are you trolling?

arctic hare
#

I am NOT, trolling lol

unborn root
#

obviously teh mythic sylvanas dagger is bis

arctic hare
#

Figured

#

But heyyyy, ya never know lol

unborn root
#

but people arent going to get mythic daggers for a v long time

arctic hare
#

Actually, I wanna see how much stronger the buff is

unborn root
#

there are sims in the pins

#

or the faq channel

#

that break it down

arctic hare
#

no no, I mean like how much dmg lol

timid talon
#

Is there a custom APL thing for theotar's tea time?

arctic hare
#

Oh wow, 2.032k

#

Thats a pretty ridiculous buff

short ravine
#

What was buffed?

arctic hare
#

not buff, god

#

increase over normal dagger I mean

#

My brain is dead today, i don't know why

unborn root
#

Even like

#

normal sylv dagger in the offhand

#

is a p big boost

arctic hare
#

heh, I only got 220 daggers, so I'd definitely equip it in main

short ravine
#

With mutilate being a double wepon attack are off hand weapons more important to us than standard melee?

this is good news if frost is only getting nerfed by 17% compared to the others. are we the best frost users in the game with our high frequency, low damage crit dot procs + melees?

#

or is another spec better?

cyan kite
#

never seen such a wide spread .. only diff between the two is crit vs haste enchant on one ring

limber lion
cyan kite
#

Yes

limber lion
#

Well that explains it.

cyan kite
#

It gives me the wrong stat if I get too much haste?

limber lion
#

Yes.

#

It wants to have crit as your highest stat

cyan kite
#

The return of breakpoints

limber lion
#

And that single enchant will push it as your highest

wanton path
#

so theotard this week then back to nadj next week for assa?

cyan kite
#

Cev on that galaxy brain shit.. thanks man

limber lion
#

:')

slim pebble
#

The answer is to always sim yourself but.. I just came back after a 2 month hiatus and I dont have a single dom slot item. I still gotta take the dagger right?

native silo
#

nerf is reverted but coming next week anyway??? so we going frost or naw??

cyan kite
#

I equipped what it said, and crit is my highest stat, but IQD still giving me haste

shell ivy
limber lion
shell ivy
#

Thank you 🙂

limber lion
#

During lust it always gives you your highest stat with a longer duration on top.

cyan kite
#

No wonder blizzard put ??? as the description, this is too complex for a damn trink. thanks for the help though, first time using it (got 252 IQD last vault)

timid talon
#

Id rather have any other trinket than IQD lol

#

one non stat proc and it loses its value

versed mica
#

Does one still lose theotar tea from your bags for the rest of the day if you spec swap, automatically swapping soulbind?

slow marsh
#

Iqd is fun. I'm actually surprised it's not better for dashing frost

#

It's only frustrating when you give someone mana later in fights

simple rivet
#

wheres that tarra power graphic people were linking last week?

upbeat needle
#

y'all swapping between obe and doomblade depending on fight or rockin one all the way through?

slow marsh
#

Idk if it super matters. Only one I would for sure not run obed in is painsmith but even if you do it's not that big of a difference

viscid spear
#

Was wondering myself

slow marsh
#

Most people are running ep/vig for all bosses as opposed to minmaxing. So it just depends on how much you want to spend on tomes I guess

viscid spear
#

I tried ep/vig but I feel better with bs/ds

#

But that's a personal preference

slow marsh
#

Yeah those are both personal pref type questions I think. You can do good or bad with either

#

But the general rule for obed is that if there is a lot of downtime then it loses value. Also depending on kill time it can fluctuate as well because of how many extra casts you get

sand sigil
#

top 2 2ndary for sin theo crit/haste ya?

slow marsh
#

Ye

limber lion
#

Yup

slow marsh
#

Also imo you should argue for triple potency @sand sigil and use how OP token is as defensive + the gains on 3rd potency as reasoning

still elm
#

any specific way to do the theotar tree for now?

slow marsh
#

Triple potency with lashing wps and either maim or lethal depending on your conduit ranks / leggo

still elm
#

@slow marsh kk ty i got 226 main and lethal with doomblade but ill sim it to see whats up thanks ❤️

slow marsh
#

Np

lyric cave
#

with the upcomming nerfs on domination sockets unholy will still be on top?

misty holly
#

We don't know for sure what the values will be.

limber lion
#

Who knows.

#

Wait for sims.

fiery mauve
#

im ready for any nerf cutesavior

echo geyser
#

u got embers too?

fiery mauve
#

about 28 of them

echo geyser
misty holly
#

I'm excited to play frost. Those are the best defensive gems imo.

echo geyser
#

its like 60 to get r3 and r4 another 90

#

not too bad

fiery mauve
#

im just gonna keep upgrading my unholy set

misty holly
#

Frost gems are like prydaz for yourself and mini prydaz for random teammates. Seems like a big deal if whole raid is using that. Lots of extra health.

echo geyser
#

blood is also good for defensive

#

we'll have to see how much worse it is for dmg tho

misty holly
#

If unholy gets nerfed 50% and frost only gets nerfed 17%

#

I dont see how frost isnt better

#

It was already about equal at 252 ilvl

fiery mauve
#

cause frost bugged

misty holly
#

since frost scaled better, apparently

fiery mauve
#

so in practice it suck

echo geyser
#

i mean the "nerfed" sims already showed it was better right, just not sure if working properly

young nacelle
#

So why are we going theotar this week? Nadjia not good anymore?

still elm
#

dont have last point

echo geyser
#

idk if they pushed back the raidbots build to original shards

misty holly
echo geyser
#

not procing on everything like it was in sims etc

hollow talon
#

lol

echo geyser
misty holly
#

I've been running frost for a week now (at rank 3) since that is the only socket bonus I have unlocked. It did about 4.5% of my damage

#

So its doing something

strange python
#

is theotars tea simbait?

echo geyser
#

why would it be simbait

strange python
#

saw all buffs active in my quicksim

echo geyser
#

sure the stats dont give exactly same value

#

but its a wash

fiery mauve
#

idk whats bugged with frost set specifically but i know its bugged

echo geyser
#

only one u rly would reroll is mastery for ST i suppose

strange python
mystic peak
#

yes but with 25% uptime each

#

to even it out

strange python
#

ah

arctic hare
#

So, if I went to go kill Fatescribe Rohkalo with another raid tonight, could I go to my own guilds raid tonight too?

young nacelle
#

Yes, you just wont get loot the 2nd kill

arctic hare
#

Oh, okay,

marble hemlock
#

on normal/heroic, yes.

arctic hare
#

I'm totally down for that whoot whoot

echo geyser
#

@marble hemlock do u still actually have 2/2/2 shards?

dawn ivy
#

@arctic hare most guilds dont like it if youre already loot locked to bosses, might want to check with them that its okay

arctic hare
#

My guild is most definitely fine with that LOL

dawn ivy
#

then do yo thing boo girl

arctic hare
#

Whoot whoot

#

I just needed to know justtttt in case

burnt star
#

anyone know if cloak remove/prevent reapplication of the ice fragment on the nine?

arctic hare
#

okay

#

so

#

Iirc, the ice fragment is a special case

#

afaik, if you use it, it sends it to someone else

burnt star
#

ya

arctic hare
#

I do NOT know if it prevents it however

burnt star
#

thats what it should do

kindred rapids
#

Nothing special about that

arctic hare
#

I simply haven't seen a case that it does that with anywhere else

marble hemlock
cobalt pelican
#

equipping a lot of good items is usually a good start

slow marsh
#

Dang I need to try that then 😅

burnt star
#

if im cloaked

#

but anyways.. we keep the cloak for the bad overlap meteor

hollow talon
wild mural
#

its just gear and unholy set

#

lol

marble hemlock
#

psure it goes through cloak

#

if youre the closest target, youll get the debuff

cobalt pelican
#

ya you can't precloak it in any way

#

i tried because i kept getting it on my opener

#

: }

narrow storm
#

I see from the book of Shadows pin that you can cloak the dragging chains on the Eye, does it still pull everybody else in? Do I need to move out before cloaking etc

reef axle
#

dashing on cloak right?

viscid spear

slow marsh
slow marsh
cinder geode
#

does doomblade gain extra value with crimson tempest?

slow marsh
#

Short answer yes

cinder geode
#

also, i already had obedience from when i played sub, do i need to craft doomblade for sin or is obedience fine

slow marsh
#

You don't need to, no. you'll be fine

hollow talon
#

i think currently at our renown and gear level doomblade is a bit better

#

but its not huge

#

i just simmed and for theotar doomblade is like 150 to 200 dps higher based on what ilvl doomblade u make

#

once you get nadija final row its pretty much even with doomblade vs obe

#

nvm doomblade still 70 dps higher monkahmm

#

just ran sims

cinder geode
#

also what is up with all the slashed info on the pins, is dashing scoundrel not a top contender anymore with the dom set nerfs

thorny pond
#

Nerf was reverted

#

read the top of the pin

reef axle
#

Hmmmm 252 gland trinket or 239 mast vers shoulders for 3 set frost 🤔 before you say sim, thinking more long term 😂

slow marsh
#

Cuz when it is likely re-nerfed next week they will unslash it

cinder geode
#

oh ok

slow marsh
#

They said the nerf was supposed to be applied on next reset as opposed to hotfix so most all the stuff that went down today will happen again 😫

dusky vault
reef axle
#

Don’t you mean trinket 🤔?

cinder geode
#

id probably go for dom socket the dps increase from what you currently have -> gland probably wont be as big of a % increase as frost set

dusky vault
slow marsh
#

You will replace both soon so just take whatever is higher right now

reef axle
#

True

tidal gorge
#

Murr. My GV is a choice between a heroic item with a dom socket I don't have yet or a mythic one that I already have that slot's socket. Long term I obviously want the mythic one, but this is an annoying choice

cinder geode
#

all i got was the ring from the nine ive already gotten 4 times

tidal gorge
#

I guess I better wait until we clear heroic and first 3 mythic to see if I get one of those items naturally

frosty gyro
#

Did they ever make it so multiple rogues can benefit from edge of night proc?

drifting cloud
#

yes before you could loot a dagger

sand sigil
#

also way more raid dam

do I used fusion amplifier on CD or align it with cd's

They like Necro, what can I say

#

I would stay Necro as well if it wasn't so buggy.

#

Changed to Necro 2 weeks ago, only to change back to Venth 2 weeks later.

hollow river
#

should i shoot for crit with iqd

#

there's a WA that lets u know when its safe to press isn't there

cursive silo
#

U can’t aim for a stat

#

You can aim for stats

hollow river
#

what

cold rampart
#

speech

cursive silo
#

You can’t choose what stat it gives you

hollow river
#

i thought it gave highest stat

cursive silo
#

The wa just tells you if it gives you stats

#

No its random between highest 2 (procs included)

young nacelle
#

could also fuck around and give some mana on accident if theyre low and too close to you lmfao

hollow river
limber lion
cursive silo
#

Mana is the only thing you can’t really prevent

hollow river
#

and if i sync it with flag ill always get crit or haste

cursive silo
#

If your healers have no mana theyre not gonna get up 20% like that

young nacelle
#

ive seen it happen when i had iqd

#

says stats, and just before i press it, mana

#

thanks iqd

limber lion
hollow river
#

i mean it sims +188 dps for me

cursive silo
#

Last heroic i got the aggro target dummy twice

limber lion
#

Outside of lust it's one of your 2 highest stats

hollow river
#

i got 252 IQD and 246 totem in vault

limber lion
#

Massive

hollow river
#

242 totem***

young nacelle
#

idk iqd is too rng for me, even with a weak aura

#

thing sucks

limber lion
#

Each to their own

cursive silo
#

Well anyway youre not gonna go 2 on use do you

limber lion
#

It's pretty stonks for venth

hollow river
#

the iqd sims 2x better than the totem

young nacelle
hollow river
#

wait no

#

only 30 dps higher than totem

#

totem might be the play then, eh

limber lion
#

Totem is also very good because of how well it works with high haste

hollow river
#

totem CDR sounds stonks for keys

limber lion
#

And Venth is pretty stacked in that department

hollow river
#

yeh

limber lion
#

It's a single target trinket

hollow river
#

i've been running finality venth sub rogue in most keys

#

yeah ik

#

its just the extra CDR

limber lion
#

A lot of people assume it's aoe

slow marsh
#

yeah the cdr isn't really anything too relevant

cursive silo
#

Totem cdr is kinda whatever but i think youre going for ST trinkets as rogue in keys anyway

hollow river
#

idk if its only 30 dps difference

#

may as well take it

limber lion
#

The cdr just tequires you to:
-kill a mob during the actual trinket effect
-target the mob that dies

slow marsh
#

you are usually target swapping to the biggest thing anyways as sin so it doesn't have too big of an impact

limber lion
#

If yu slap it down as 20 mobs die, you'll get cdr for one

hollow river
#

could try to min max targets about to die

#

in packs

slow marsh
#

you could

#

easier as necro too

hollow river
#

yeh

limber lion
#

If you slap it down and it disappears before anything dies, it doesn't reduce the cd

hollow river
#

yeah ik

slow marsh
#

still solid as a 2min ST cd though

hollow river
#

the CDR portion is just like added bonus

limber lion
#

Yep

#

I personally use a 246 one myself

hollow river
#

doesn't have to be minmaxed

limber lion
#

For everything

hollow river
#

felt so lucky getting 252 iqd

#

but my buddy was also telling me he wouldn't take it

cursive silo
#

Well its good if you bother playing it perfectly

hollow river
#

just kinda sad that 239 fusion amp will replace totem

cursive silo
#

You just don’t have to play perfect if you play totem and fusion amp beats both anyway

hollow river
#

amp doesn't beat iqd

#

not 252 vs 239 for me

slow marsh
#

252 iqd should be better for sure. but i would understand if someone wanted to use heroic amp instead

vital nexus
#

idk where to ask but is sub better then sin for raids?

cursive silo
#

No both really good

hollow river
cursive silo
#

One will be better than the other depending on the fight but you can one trick both and make it work

#

Venthyr ass rogues: Doomblade vs Obedience legendary. Guides all say go Obedience but I'm seeing Doomblade taking most of the top parse spots in warcraftlogs

Either that or doomblade still sims better for them

ehh screw it im gonna go totem

does "Shard of Zed" do anything for us at all?

Its not so big deal

Nah pretty sure SBS would’ve done a lot more damage

If it wasn’t bugged

#

Nothing apparent stands out from what I can see on my phone

Bleed up time isn’t bad, SnD up time isn’t bad.

#

so

#

do i upgrade my unholy shards or will frost be better after the nerfs?

Wait until after the nerfs hit

There’s no up time % on SBS. Though in the rotation it shows it’s up the whole fight, idk

tribal marlin
#

Unless you miss a vendetta doing so obviously

limpid plinth
#

The necro bug does in singletarget just give sometimes 1less cp than it used to give

tribal marlin
#

I'd recommend not playing Obedience as assa

steel bane
#

@limpid plinth that's not true. you get only one cp no matter how many bleeds you have active

#

and when shit dies you don't get your charge back if you bleed the target twice

wild rapids
limpid plinth
#

We are talkong about singletarget raid boss

steel bane
#

there's literally one boss with only 1 target

limpid plinth
#

Yes

#

And someone asked about hes logs on that fight

tribal marlin
# wild rapids why?

Other legendary are much more consistent because they aren't tigh to encounter timing.

#

Basically you need to delay vendetta to play obedience optimally and it sucks.

misty edge
#

I finally got my unholy set, but im so nervous that they are going to end up renerfing it lol

misty edge
#

Here is to hoping like the rest of everyone lol

strange python
#

the nerf should come out next reset no?

tribal marlin
#

btw fun fact : Obedience is actually GOOD for painsmith Raznal because it allow you to cast Flag twice in phase 2 while still having it early phase 3, which isn't possible without. But yeah, apart from this I really think Obedience is situational. Vast majority of assa rogue play doomblade.

strange python
#

question is whether or not frost will out pace ?

void pecan
#

I just slam obedience because I can't be bothered to farm that much for two legendaries

tribal marlin
#

I guess you'll get the ~5000 ashes passively doing Torghast every week anyway

#

I mean at some point

#

Peeps might shift to Dashing + Frost tho

#

Unholy set already start being annoying, like again on Raznal when it proc in intermission, like litterally half of the time

It’s so bugged

if you care about bug fixes right now, you're part of the problem!

#

should i just be dumping all my valor points into upgrading my phial or what

fallen arch
#

I hope you are trying to be funny

prisma cypress
#

or is there something more worthwhile

icy mason
#

i'm dropping necrolord and going venthyr tomorrow. They're too busy with a side quest to bother fixing my covenant

drowsy hollow
#

I never could get into the necro rogue ability

#

I liked Flagellation even in beta when it was bugged

fallen arch
#

It’a the best thing in the game

#

But ok

prisma cypress
#

so...yes?

icy mason
#

i'll miss fleshcraft deeply. i'll cry at night thinking about the fun times we had together

fallen arch
#

Yes Phial is a good place to spend valor

icy mason
#

the raid bosses i killed at 1% with boneforged reveries

fallen arch
#

But I spent a lot upgrading a weapon cos I had to

prisma cypress
#

my weapons are only 220 garbage but i figure those are more replaceable than a high level phial would be

fallen arch
#

Well a weapon would give you a bigger dps upgrade

#

Is you can get one upgraded to 246

icy mason
#

theres plenty of weapons in the game. theres only one thing that upgrades a phial. and thats a vault phial.

mental trout
cedar star
#

Are you guys going crit/vers on your obedience cloak?

fallen arch
#

Plenty of weapons.. I was 26 Mists runs in before I got one

icy mason
#

oh. thats unfortunate 😦

fallen arch
#

As a rule of nature you’ll probably use your valor wrong

#

And get an upgrade next week in the vault

#

For the slot u upgraded

#

Don’t overthink it I guess

#

Nobody can look into the future, if you have the patience you can always wait 10 more vaults

#

I liked when sbs was allowing me to do 3 envenoms into shiv more consistently.. now need to relearn into flagg usage (

icy mason
#

yeah i held onto hope that necrolord would have an advantage somewhere this tier. instead it was just destroyed with bugs

fallen arch
icy mason
#

yep. but i can't sit around and wait for blizzard to fix it

#

they're busy with something else atm. we're not a priority

marble hemlock
#

eh, its not like its a significant ST or AoE loss, unless you fuck things up in aoe and dont get refunds due to double-casting on the same target

loud trench
limpid plinth
#

On my mythic eye kill i had 18 sbs casts and 33cp received

icy mason
#

problem is when i'm dumping sbs on the boss and i'm getting 1-0 points or when my mouse over macro doesn't accurately hit the one i want it to hit and i do double cast on a target

marble hemlock
#

idk, i didnt really felt bothered by it in m+. the only exception are pure ST pulls where you just have to hold onto SBS instead of being able to spam them into ST, as you no longer get a refund

#

it just requires adjustments to your charge usage, but its not a major dps loss

#

it sucks for sure, it feels more frustrating to play

fallen arch
icy mason
#

it bums me out and i'm trying to be happy out here

fallen arch
#

Also fhe fact that it’s sometimes just removed

marble hemlock
#

but in terms of actual numbers, its not that big of a deal. holding onto one extra spike on a 2 minute boss fight so you end it with 2 charges instead of using 1 more like you would normally do

#

isnt really a big deal
