marble hemlock
#

oh for sure, my motivation to play m+ has dropped due to how frustrating it can be to play

marble hemlock
#

ive actually never had that happen except in these fringe cases with like painsmith balls

#

and even then, just casting it at ~10% hp left is enough to get the refund

#

it only happens on targets without a threat list

#

theres not a whole lot of those in m+

#

or raid, for that matter

fallen arch
#

Ye I guess

#

The most annoying part is the double charges into a target

icy mason
#

i love fleshcraft tho. door of shadows brings me no joy. fleshcraft pleases and sparkles

fallen arch
#

Which wont refund

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

precise mouseover targetting has always been an important factor for assa, now even more so. but usually you didnt get punished this hard for it

fallen arch
#

I know that in actual numbers it might not be that big of a deal

drowsy hollow
#

as a necro druid, I like door sometiems

fallen arch
#

But they are like tuning and reverting left and right, while something like this remains untouched

drowsy hollow
#

I'm sure you can go get some sympathy from the WW monks

icy mason
#

nerf dom set bonuses or fix the actual game. choices choices

fallen arch
#

I mean, this is fixed

#

But not sbs?

marble hemlock
#

well

#

people fixing cosmetic issues

fallen arch
#

What kind of backwards prio lost do they have

marble hemlock
#

typically arent the same that go through spelldata or code in the game

young nacelle
#

you know when blizz does bug fixes, its never anything that actually needs fixing

drowsy hollow
#

I mean for the 3rd out of 4 weeks the covenant campaign had a huge progress stopping bug

fallen arch
drowsy hollow
#

Eh, WW has been bugged for their entire existence. I was being sarcastic

icy mason
#

their punchy clones have never worked correctly

marble hemlock
#

its not a coincidence that the first people approaching me to help me get the information to blizzard in more ways about the SBS bug, was people from the monk community 😛

outer kernel
#

I Read something about the shadow Set nerf we still going for it?

marble hemlock
#

its reverted, for now. im sure theyll release a more thorough explanation on what they plan on doing sometime this week

icy mason
#

frost set sims high but doesn't work properly on live

#

if you feel it will be fixed soon, save your embers

#

i'm not a doctor tho

clear shadow
#

hey guys i have a 262 back should i craft obedience or doomblade to rank 6

#

i also play sub in dungeons

icy mason
#

the stats gained from boosting cloak's ilvl is among the absolute lowest among all legendary slots

lethal zodiac
#

If you play both id go for obedience since you can use it for both

strange python
#

Is shadowstep usually the move on pain smith bad overlaps? Or are y’all saving doors for them?

#

Mythic

lethal zodiac
#

Not on your Level yet but getting there

clear shadow
#

I got one pre 9.1 and one after 9.1

#

phial

#

but i did 30 dos for shadowgrasp

lethal zodiac
#

Ive never even seen it

noble umbra
#

does the deathly shadows cheese work for assas?

strange python
#

No luck so far. Still rocking a single 226 and a 220 from last tier.

tacit wedge
#

I swear one day i'll swap to outlaw just for the bigger pool of weapons

strange python
tacit wedge
#

Agony

strange python
#

Suffice it to say. I expect that the sylv dagger will be just like the carapace one to me

#

A figment of players imagination

tacit wedge
#

Carapace dropped daggers?!

strange python
#

Not for me it didn't.

granite thistle
#

PF #25 coming up boys

#

Will this be the day i replace my 220 from last tier?

tacit wedge
strong mauve
#

i have no idea what shard to upgrade right now

strange python
#

I guess there's that. I traditionally always have good luck with trinkets

#

Well...

#

If I ignore the deathbringer trinket in ICC...

tacit wedge
#

That was 10 years ago

#

So yes, we can ignore it

fallen arch
#

Try 12 years

viscid osprey
#

so is the theotar now the meta at 54 renown for us ?

#

or is nadja still better ?

noble umbra
#

is normal edge of night performing bettyer than 246/252 daggers?

strange python
#

In your offhand yeah

timid talon
#

you'll use it in your OH over anything that isn't itself for the most part

full tendon
frosty gyro
#

I still have a 226 waist and chest :(

ebon thorn
#

is there any sims for the dom sockets?

frosty gyro
#

Yeah they're included in normal sims

slow marsh
wind dune
hollow river
#

If I don’t get heroic shoulders or something I’ll cry

kind veldt
#

@wind dune shards got reverted unholy bis drill

#

Still

frosty gyro
#

yeah but the nerf is still planned

rigid tartan
#

Sylv heroic dagger or riotbreadblade

frosty gyro
#

So really hold off for now

kind veldt
#

Yea.. hopefully you didn’t rank 4 it

frosty gyro
#

TBH sylv dagger isn't that big for sin

#

it's still not bad though

kind veldt
#

246 still 252 daggers

#

In OH

frosty gyro
#

but not by a crazy amount if I'm not mistaken

keen flint
#

It's very annoying that Bonespike is still bugued

#

Do you have any problem with it ?

#

Like sometime I miss hit or only one combo point if already bone spiked the target

hollow river
wind dune
#

i dont care for unholy tbh i'm happy with frost and still doing 90+ parses did a 98% at eye actually with it

frosty gyro
#

Actually hadn't considered it I should probably break my set bonus for bek in M+

#

@hollow river for me a heroic sylvanas dagger sims 25 dps above a 252 OH, but a 226 sylvanas dagger sims 80 DPS under a 252 OH

hollow river
sick cairn
#

any necro rogues here?

sick scarab
#

sylv normal daggers sims the same as the 239 daggers.. there is some i miss or no point getting normal version ?

frosty gyro
#

The proc isn't actually that amazing for sin it's like 2.5% damage or something

#

It's a lot better on sub

sick cairn
#

im simming pustules and its doing better than heirmir for patchwerk, but what I find weird is that with triple potency, it tells me to go lethal poisons, maim, and shiv conduits, im shocked that sudden fractures was taken out, should i just trust the sim?

small nymph
#

Just simmed it, but I can't make sense of it. My current chest is 229, wouldn't the 239 chest be better than the 252 neck with crit/mastery?

#

My current neck is 230 crit/vers with socket 🤷

cedar lagoon
#

does doomblade still bis for raid

#

just switched venth idk about obedience

#

i checked logs ppl still playing doomblade instead of obedience

grizzled orbit
#

So should I craft my 262 cloak or wait still? I'm having trouble understanding the shard fiasco from yesterday and what's changed today.

strange python
#

55 pulls on soulrender let's go to last place pull count hooooly

tawdry sparrow
#

fuck i have a hard time deciding the vault.. i got a 252 dagger, which is a huge upgrade (current dagger is 226) or a 252 crit haste ring (bis stats) i'll probably be replacing the dagger anyways for sylvanas dagger later on? what would u guys decide? weapon right?

shy dust
#

As assa

frosty gyro
#

@tawdry sparrow dagger

tawdry sparrow
#

could take weeks if i get unlucky with the weapon drop anyways

crystal blaze
#

just don't take anything, if you planned to run HM tonight

tawdry sparrow
#

i'll be simming it for sure tho, but pretty sure i'll go with weapon

crystal blaze
#

if you get a dagger on sylv tonight take ring

#

if not take dagger

tawdry sparrow
#

oh well, gotta say.. both weapons are 226

#

so even if i get one dagger i can still use the 252 from vault

crystal blaze
#

well fuck this take the dagger

thin trout
#

i've gotten 4 shoulders and 2 gloves from my 10+ mythic from the vault wtf

#

last 2 weeks

misty adder
#

stupid question, but is there a point to have ambush on my bar? Is mutilate strictly better?

vocal karma
#

!mut

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.

young nacelle
#

if you dont use blindside, probably not

mortal pike
#

whats the max number of embers u can get a week?

spiral salmon
#

I got a choice between salvage fusion amplifier(239 ilvl) or edge of night(233 ilvl)
not sure which is better, I have 249 & 226 daggers

slender berry
#

45-55 depending on how many mythic bosses you kill I think @mortal pike

mortal pike
#

Sheeesh okay ty

spiral salmon
#

feel like it will be easier to eventually get the guardian trinket compared to the dagger, even on normal ilvl

misty adder
#

so if im not using blindside, should i stick with ambush in my opener?

#

i run master assaassin in raid if that helps

frosty gyro
#

Yeah I would take the dagger

#

Remember that trinket drops for all DPS, so you'll be seeing it a lot

spiral salmon
#

exactly

frosty gyro
#

My guild has got like 8 M Ocular Glands at this point

spiral salmon
#

just checked droptimizer, it's +200 dps or os, heroic is +308 dps

sick cairn
#

chances for 4 points rather than 3

spiral salmon
#

@misty adder if stealth crit chance talent is up, use mutilate for extra CP, only use ambush on blindside procs I think

#

what he said

sick cairn
#

if u are not using blindside

misty adder
#

even in pvp?

sick cairn
#

umm unbind ambush

frosty gyro
#

In PvP go sub

sick cairn
#

oh u can ask pvp chat

#

im necro so i go assa pvp

misty adder
#

i refuse to play sub

sick cairn
#

same here

misty adder
#

assassination is the only fun rogue spec for me lol

#

it's paced perfectly and straight forward

idle merlin
#

I got a Domina's Oozing Shiv (246 ilvl) & a Edge of Night (233 ilvl) in my vault. I've seen alot about Edge of night being on par with a 252 ilvl dagger but when I sim them my Domina's Oozing Shiv sims better? Is it possiable? 😛

pine grove
strange python
#

I think in my case the dagger would be the best option, since I got only a 223 and a 226 dagger, right? And btw. with the /simc addon do I leave the vault open and type /simc to copy the text?

#

I have a Phial and a razowrwing quill trinket

#

so the other trinket looks tempting too

eager river
#

no after opening your vault and not having looted it, your /simc will have the items added until you loot it

strange python
#

but do I put it in the droptimizer then or where?

eager river
#

topgear

strange python
#

oh damn, thanks 😄

cedar lagoon
#

is chaos bane still go ?

#

or frost one better with nerf

eager river
#

check pins

strange python
#

that's funny the sims are higher when I take the trinket instead of the 239 dagger

south belfry
#

Is Theotar gonna be better this week?

cedar lagoon
#

if u get max renown probably yes

hearty void
#

anyone have a decent WA to yell at you when you have max combo points, i think im overcapping sometimes, WA might help a lil for me

This week's vault winner

meanwhile i get 5 dom socket slots and a dogshit ring

this game is rigged

first useful vault since 9.1

#

Hey, what are the optimal stats value atm ? I think i'm running to much haste and at one point haste too much haste is useless in single target :/

dim tide
#

in which slot we wanna craft Dashing- back?

north basin
#

So our dom set nerfs simply postponed to the next week? And not completely dismissed?

dim tide
#

y

#

they reverted and maybe it go live next week, nobody knows

quaint carbon
#

blizzard creating content out of uncertainty, damln they so smart

north basin
#

As far as i understand wording it will go live 4 august..

gentle gyro
#

hm.....

#

fusion amp or second 252 weapon

alpine garden
#

What does the sim say?

gentle gyro
#

i actually should run the raid first tbh

#

because I know for a fact I'll get whatever slot I pick now

wise gull
#

offhand weapon dps is pretty minor

#

trinket is most likely the best choice

gentle gyro
#

or just take the pf trinket kekw

wise gull
#

definitely not

#

lmao

gentle gyro
#

that's the 2nd time blizz gives me the wrong pf trinket

#

sim diff of 1 dps

fallow estuary
#

i hate the shard system so much

#

it gives so much power

#

and i'm still at 1/3 unholy

glacial seal
#

Can someone know why the frost shard pin got removed? did it become irrelevant ?

jagged osprey
#

Happy days

#

Finally got 239 Fusion Amp 🙂

#

Such a giga upgrade for me

gusty mirage
glacial seal
#

yes

gusty mirage
#

Kind of a long story, but it's still relevant

glacial seal
#

ok gonna dig deeper into the discord then thanks

primal turret
#

i doubt between trinket (sims the most) sylv dagger and boots with domination socket

gentle gyro
#

clear nhc, if you don't get it from herself, dagger imo

south belfry
#

Other people cry that the shards give too much power and when they nerf it other people cry about it

#

Cant please anyone

primal turret
gentle gyro
#

i mean I just remember it not being good, but then again shadowgrasp totem also used to be a meme

loud brook
#

no matter what I do, I can't seem to hit 8.1k dps or get even close on ST fights. like on guardian heroic for farm I wanted to see how close I could get and it was 6.3k

gentle gyro
#

you likely did the same I did, you played mechanics too cautious

#

aka the yellow circles

#

you lose quite some uptime

loud brook
#

idk maybe. I just feel like I'm going crazy trying to optimize myself and not getting even close to my max potential

gusty mirage
#

it's worse than a 236 phial if you'd like a reference point

late birch
#

Anyone know if SBS bug was ixed?

#

fxied

gusty mirage
#

I don't believe it was

#

nothing about our necro brethren in the latest hotfix notes

glacial seal
gusty mirage
glacial seal
#

oh ok, nvm then ty

limber lion
crystal blaze
#

This is a fully geared sim

#

Not his actual sim

glacial seal
crystal blaze
#

But you need to add dashing instead of obedience with forst set right ?

digital zodiac
#

do you think its worth taking Infinitely Divisible ooze at 252? Or just farm PF for phial at 246?
Second trink isOcular gland at 239...

Seems like a bit of a waste taking Dividible ooz

limber lion
#

Ooze is fine, but again, you should sim it.

digital zodiac
#

i mean

celest marlin
#

249 Weapon (10ilvl upgrade_) vs 252(236 atm 9./12) phial trinket

digital zodiac
#

its simming the best out of vault items

#

but Im not sure if its wasted seeing as i could just farm PF

sharp flower
#

so, if I pick from getting a 19ilvl upgrade on dagger vs getting a 226 head that would unlock the unholy set bonus what the fuck do I pick?

limber lion
#

You have to make that decision.

crystal blaze
#

just use a gear compare sim with a phial at 236 and 246

shut garnet
#

have the shard changes already been implemented into simc

zealous marsh
#

I believe on raidbots there is an option to sim that

gusty mirage
# loud brook here's my top gear to show my gear and my log of our most recent heroic guardian...

I just skimmed through it, didn't look particularly close, but you did really well. Rotation looks good. Bleed uptimes could be a teeny bit better but they're both above 95% which is still really good. It's possible you just got hit with a lot of the bombs on Guardian and were forced to step away from the boss. Also you missed/parried 19% of your auto attacks which probably hurt a little bit

zealous marsh
#

Btw there should be the tab here „vault andies”

loud brook
shrewd flume
gusty mirage
gentle gyro
#

fight duration is also a factor

#

although 4:21 seems good for cds

glacial seal
#

You have way less auto then someone similar (same miss but 200 less) btw and way lss dmg for envenom

gentle gyro
#

noticed the same for my kill, hence my first assumption was lack of uptime due to bombs

loud brook
little condor
#

I also got the decanter, is it any good in aoe fights?

loud brook
gentle gyro
#

13% haste seems a bit on the low side

loud brook
weak crescent
#

dude

#

any advices on what to take ?

wild beacon
#

Depends on your current gear really

rare dagger
#

if your current gear is o the same lvl i asume dagger will be better

weak crescent
#

dagger would be the 23 ilvl upgrade fr offhand and head wouldnt be an upgrade but has a domination socket

reef axle
#

getting the set bonus for unholy is huge though

weak crescent
#

yeah

#

thats what i worry about

rare dagger
#

do you have shards ready?

#

and rest of sockets?

weak crescent
#

only 1 shard

#

and no sockets

#

could buy 1 from khortia tho

#

the hands with the socket

rare dagger
#

its though call honestly

weak crescent
#

yeah haha

rare dagger
#

i wolud lean towards dagger myself tho

weak crescent
#

i m leaning towards the dagger too

shrewd relic
#

Obedience is good or Doom is better? I play Assa in raid and Sub in m+

wild beacon
#

yeah i don't think it would take too long to get a dom helm tbh

rare dagger
#

as you cannot take bonus from domination socket right away

frosty bridge
#

Theotar this week probably better for Sin too?

#

With the last row?

shrewd flume
#

Also if he doesn't hardcore raid is better if he takes the dagger, is just better overall

#

Helm choice is manly for raid

rare dagger
#

getting good daggers its always a huge boost to dps, youre right dissi

late birch
#

you guys ready for a really bad vault 🙂

gloomy rose
#

the legs are ok

topaz saffron
#

I wouldn't turn down a decanter

ebon thorn
#

236 phial sims better than 252 decanter pepelaugh

late birch
#

decanter

#

is dog trinket

charred wraith
#

is it common for party favors to sim lower than nadjia?

steady glen
#

assuming nerf goes thru is frost BIS even at 235/240 ivl?

tacit bay
#

Wish I had that vault, I would choose the neck.

late birch
#

already using KT neck :\

verbal mantle
#

at least decanter is a no go for sure

late birch
#

nah not taking anything yet

#

first wanna run heroic today

verbal mantle
#

good choice

late birch
#

so sad seeing peoples vaults on outlaw and sub channel

#

sylvanas daggers and phials

#

in 1 vualt

#

:\

verbal mantle
#

it is what it is

south belfry
#

Damn Theotar sims 300 dps more for me than Nadija

#

Theres no way to pick the stats you get right?

jagged osprey
#

nope

#

so you bet your ass you'll be pulling nothing but mastery from the tea lmao

manic quartz
#

Sad rogue noises :< i allrdy got both shoulders and head with same ilvl >_> so i think trinket is the way to go but why it couldnt be phial?

verbal mantle
#

that tinket is good to equip it in both trinket slots to be able to trade, then throw it cause it's garbo

#

sim it

manic quartz
#

sims better than 220 phial

#

had 220 phial and 226 totem

verbal mantle
#

well ofc but farming a 236 phial to upgrade it will most likely be better

#

than the bottle

manic quartz
#

yep, but not with my luck 😄

abstract flicker
#

should i upgrade unholy gems now or frost i am a bit confused

shut vector
#

is frost setbonus already ahead unholy setbonus?

limber lion
#

After the reverted the changes back, no

#

We'll have to wait and see what happens.

tardy basin
#

they don't cancel this changes, they release it on next week

plush isle

My Luck kekw

limber lion
plush isle
#

never had a weapon in the vault since the start of expansion

strange silo
#

is it worth to swap theotar this week instead of nadja or just nah?

south belfry
#

I simmed 300 dps more with theotar

night cypress
#

anyone know the specifics of how recuperator works? is it just a tick while snd is up or does it actually require snd casts

cold spoke
#

wrong shoulders sad

outer kernel
#

did blizz wrote something about that necro bugg=?

strange silo
#

@south belfry wtf 300 dps? i get 45 dps :d

grizzled trail
#

So heard a rumour that the domination shards nerfs is actually meant for next week

#

Now I duno what to do when I actually get unholy set today lll

#

Rumours thank you.

pine grove
iron orchid
#

if you are scared of those rumours just don't spend any more stygian ember. Anyway, if players keep complaining, blizzard could very well never pass those changes, or if they do, offer a full stygian ember refund to calm everyone

#

Eventhough I highly doubt that

south belfry
#

Ah shit

#

Thats on dungeon slice

quasi grotto
#

Have I missed that unholy set is getting a nerf?!

south belfry
#

Not live yet

quasi grotto
#

Literally spent all my embers on Sunday

south belfry
#

Probably next week or some other upcoming week

quasi grotto
#

Hopefully doesn't go through , imagine it will though

#

Is a bit strong

south belfry
#

I imagine it will

#

Yeah a bit too strong

#

Really good even with -50% nerf

ashen creek
#

If those changes go live that might be a net buff for assa since we have a build with frost set that’s already competitive

#

Relative to other specs / classes I mean

south belfry
strange silo
#

ok xd i mean can u really sim the last ability? or does it just flat use 1 stat bonus?

strange python
#

I have phial 246, biggest upgrade are shoulders with Shard of Bek, but idk

unkempt pilot
#

phial will never come back i guess

#

so go for it

ebon thorn
#

are people making dashing scoundrel?

jagged osprey
#

scoundrel is still simming behind doomblade for me

#

i'm gonna stick with doomblade for ST and zoldyck for AOE

idle star

#

Those are from last 2 heroic

burnt star
#

Yep phial 252 will never returb

abstract flicker
#

whats the point in the difference of ep+vigor or bs+ds? its stats or what

burnt star
#

Meanwhile u can grab loot those kt/sylv item anytime u kill

hollow river
shrewd flume
#

so in case nerf goes up next week, will unholy stay the best until we get high itlvs?

wild birch
#

Why they do this after ppl spend their fucking emblems

shrewd flume
#

i dont know, but i did'nt spent any yet, just cause i know blizzard make shit decisions

wild birch
#

Would be fine if they refund all emblems and revert all shards to lvl 1

#

but that's never gonna happen

lean sinew
#

Yea, let then nerf it all they want, just reset the upgrades and refund the embers

#

but that's just dreams

wild birch
#

Which is ridiculous

rigid pine
#

Or they could just buff the other two so that they're an option. It doesn't break the game if all three are strong

wild birch
#

For assa frost and unholy are equal already

#

Frost even a bit better

the 239 dom socket doesnt sim best

hey guys, is there a stat priority or should i just sim and see?

It might be because i dont have the unholy socket helm yet

#

I enabled 3 pieces of dom socket gear and enabled 3 frost and 3 unholy shards

#

It says boots now

What about the 2 slots after your bonus? Do you think it will still be an upgrade over 252 m+ gear

reef axle
#

if we dont have unholy bonus, frost bonus is not far behind isnt it?

ive heard we shld spam shiv, but when on low energy and cp, do we pool first?

234 ilvl - 252 shoulders and 246 helm. 226 gear with shards simmed

#

This was before my edge too - so add like 80 to that sim or some bs

pseudo hamlet
deft wagon
#

I added a dom socket shoulder aswell

#

doesnt seem to like that though

pseudo hamlet
#

You know you need a special item with the bonus set affix? Its not like just 3 gems will give you a bonus without it.

deft wagon
#

Yeah im lacking the unholy helm, but the shoulders that its not really seeming to like is the frost set

cursive silo
#

Well you didn’t put the frost gems

#

So you still don’t have a set in your sim

deft wagon
#

isnt this correct?

pseudo hamlet
#

No

cursive silo
#

No

deft wagon
#

oh

xD

#

how do i do it then?

it's the same gem lol

OH

yeah

i see it now

#

ok

#

Thats awkward

pseudo hamlet
#

Haha, chill. Happens sometimes 😄

deft wagon
#

so

#

why is blood gems simming best for me? 😄

wind totem
#

Anyone know why the set bonus is only a 90 dps increase?

#

most of which comes from the stats from the higher ilvl headpiece?

violet hollow
#

ahm

deft wagon
#

its not the set

#

right?

violet hollow
#

where is the 3rd set gem?

deft wagon
#

yeah ur using a blood gem as third

limber lion
#

welp

violet hollow
#

u got a blood shard in your boots

cursive silo
wind totem
#

why isn't it replacing it?

#

i selected the 3 unholy gems

limber lion
#

Because you didn't check the "replace gems" button

#

Here

wind totem
#

oh damn

#

god im an idiot

limber lion
#

that'll work once it's finished

wind totem
#

thanks

limber lion
#

Looks like a 800 dps upgrade

#

:)

wind totem

Balanced set bonus

#

already doing 90+ logs

when I pool to envenom out of cds, do I keep pooling back up 80% before envenoming again?

should go redo heroic for some easy 99s i guess lol

Those are pretty nutty.

#

Hm

violet hollow
#

many ppl in our raid got em already, so they can trade em anyways, could be worse tho ye

cursive silo
#

U can always just get a 252 for m+ lol

violet hollow
#

the thing is im not sure if i will play outlaw or sub in m+ in the future

#

picking these is hard atm^^

cursive silo
#

Play both

violet hollow
#

for sub i would need mastery tho, and switch from necro to vent

#

necro sub feels just so bad

pseudo hamlet
#

How are you guys using IQD trinket? It sims highest by far compared to my other option(2 other trinkets are bad).
Should I macro it with Flagellation? It has 1,5 min. CD, so it would be paired every second flag. Considering I use it on CD most of the time.
Or should I rather wait for the third Vendetta?

cursive silo
#

If you can use it on its own bind and get the WA that tells you when it gives stats

violet hollow
#

i mean it has a 3 min cd, right?

cursive silo
#

Thats the best

violet hollow
#

unless your fight is gonna take lonmg enough to get a third use of it, line it

pseudo hamlet

The problem with delaying it

Is that the later you use it the more chance you have of giving mana

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear
through Top Gear.

That's the reason why you don't upgrade your phial immediately xd

did they just implement dom socket nerf on raidbots?

pseudo hamlet

You will be able to replace the legs in the future(considering you will still be able to do heroic raiding and +15 dungeons)... but you won't need to replace the trinket. For me the choice is obvious 😛

i have 2 frost ones though

3 actually

Makes one not dare to upgrade tho

i upgraded one frost one already though so meh

so if they revert it i guess all i need is the DPS unholy one

got the blood execute/frost damaging one + the 2 other frosto nes

Hello I grinded to 54 renown and switched to Theotar today for Party Favors. I've put Lashing Scars like i always do for Assa but the conduit seems to not work anymore i start with 1 stack after using the ability. Can someone please check if that's the case for more people?

ebon thorn
#

if the nerf goes through it seems like frost will win by 300~ dps and doomblade/dashing 30 dps ~ difference

spice spire
#

Old command

#

Haste crit usually

#

Vers had a higher value at the beginning of 9.0.

#

this is awkward, I want to craft an Outlaw legendary and now have to save it for Dashing

Isn’t dashing only good on pure single target?

novel moss
dim ledge
#

For 30dps best to just stay doom prolly right?

hot chasm
#

So IQD usage, do you hold for it to align for 3rd vendetta or on CD?

woeful meteor
#

hold

#

at least sims do it that way last time i checked

ebon thorn
#

depends, its 30dps in st

#

might be superior over obedience in aoe as well

#

According to Dslice(which i know isnt the best) Doomblade goes EQUAL with dashing scoundrel in max frost sockets

#

obedience falling behind by 30~ dps dslice

odd hazel
#

Dslice works great for rogues

deft wagon
#

even assass?

odd hazel
#

yes

ebon thorn
#

So basically

rotund torrent
#

guys, is a good choice do 262 Cloak with Obedience to play assa ?

ebon thorn
#

@rotund torrent according to sims, doomblade would be better

gloomy rose
#

sounds kinda weird that in dslice doomblade would be better when you almost never actually mutilate in dungeons

deft wagon
#

only on tyrannical

ebon thorn
#

.6% higher in dslice

#

than obedience

white igloo
#

Dungeon slice has a weird add spawn scenario

ebon thorn
#

I'll probably make Doomblade then go for Celerity and play outlaw for m+

odd hazel
#

i mean, theres a reason we use it for sims in the pins

#

it works

#

follow it

rotund torrent
#

sub on dungeons isnt better than Outlaw ?

sand sundial
#

yo guys... r6 DB or Obedience? 😦

amber sun
#

im using obedience for assa right now since it also works so well with sub

odd hazel
#

Obedience is the way to go for sin in M+ if you're venthyr

sand sundial
#

i play sub and sin

ebon thorn
#

if you play sub + sin make obedience

sand sundial
#

y true

odd hazel
#

you're necro if you play sin + outlaw any way

deft wagon
#

@odd hazel If i really like doing keys when im not raiding, should i just go necro? Or am i trolling the raid team then

odd hazel
#

Theotar triple potency sin is better for keys

#

necro is fine though

amber sun
#

nah you are fine with necro in raiding

deft wagon
#

Theotar triple potency is better than necro for keys?

odd hazel
#

yep

rotund torrent
#

man, so many things to choose :/ im lost

sand sundial
#

hahaha

odd hazel
#

by like 30 dps

amber sun
#

i mean we are very fortunate that all our specs work well for raiding and m+

rotund torrent
#

wheres the bis? hahaha

#

i think ill play sin/sub and use obedience for both

#

doomblade isnt so far

odd hazel
#

obedience in pins is ahead of doom

#

by like 30 dps in ST

rotund torrent
#

so, im thinking about dungeons, im not playing sub with obedience, im using Finality

odd hazel
#

Your miles may vary though so i would sim it

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

you need to use profilesets

Is there a good rule of thumb strategy for fights like The Nine, Soulrender, etc. where there is a boss + a couple of adds? I find myself doing well on ST fights but when an add or 2 is introduced (with the exception of the Eye), i fall off hard. I would assume it is just a full dot load on the adds (assuming they will live long enough) and then swap back to boss assuming adds dont need to die prio: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/area-52/backshotz#difficulty=4 , Thanks, as always, all

i dont get why nadya 3ple potency isnt viable and better then this ?

if that sim goes through, gl leveling your frost shards 👌

In the grand scheme of things this is minor

They’ve definitely done some heavy changes before. But they were much more obviously broken interactions

a 50% nerf thats gonna reduce ur dps with like 10% aint minor

but yea sure

hollow river

It’s not 10%

#

Lol

fallen arch

Certainly not 10%

timid coral

I sim like 1200 more dps or some stupid shit

Yeah and u won’t even lose 500 from nerf

would lose 600 from nerf

From what I’ve seen other people lose

50%

fallen arch

No

hollow river

No

#

No

then 50% of what?

Its not only bonus that gives you that 1200

Its also the shards themselves

profilesets are designed to lower the memory footprint but won't show you detailed information for each combination

it seems that they also don't suffer from the mentioned issue

amber sun
#

set bonus is 800 dps for me at rank 3

#

so would be 400

which is not minor imo

gentle gyro

hoh boy, Mort'Regar layer 12 sure hits differently

lavish lichen
#

Does Dashing Vs doomblade give you some sort of damage profile change?

carmine hill
#

According to bloodmallet, Dyz shard is about 10% of the total unholy dps gain. So if you have +1200 dps from unholy, you will likely lose about 540 dps from a 50% set bonus nerf?

anyone has a clue how to override theotar tea type

thorny pond
amber sun
#

is the tea buff always the same percentage no matter if its main or secound stats?

ebon thorn
#

@knotty dew hm?

amber sun
#

got 3% agi which would be a lot more dmg gain then 3% any second stat

lavish lichen
#

Sorry I mean like would my damage be more burst vs more sustained?

cyan prawn
#

3% of any

undone lodge
#

are we still on cloaks for best legendaries, or i can just upgrade my Umbrahide gauntlets to 249? FYI i'll only be doing heroics and <15 M+ duns

lavish lichen
#

Like for example on painsmith I think burst setups are a bit better due to the intermission

cyan prawn
amber sun
#

thats kinda shitty agi already sacles much better and i also have a ton more of it than any second stat

cyan prawn
#

the shitty part is that you can't reroll the tea

you can, after 1h 4Head

amber sun
#

ok so im not gonna log in until raid than

#

thanks ion

quaint carbon

8 minutes left on mine got few rolls left 4Head

cyan prawn

imagine you'd be able to just chose one specific tea

would be too consistent, huh

amber sun

i dont mind the randomness that much if they were better balanced

#

3% on all is just plain stupid

#

who comes up with such shit ideas

sudden brook
#

Isn't the dps difference on teas like 5 dps

modest glen
#

So do we upgrade unholy shards or wait?

sudden brook

Making mountains out of molehills rn

delicate smelt
#

Is there big difference in dps between the dominations sets?

amber sun

when i have around 1,5k agi and around 800 crit what do you think would benefit more from a 3% increase?

#

how can taht be 5 dps tell me?

sudden brook
#

It just is

#

Just telling u

#

U can sim the teas yourself

#

The dps difference is like less than 10

how do i sim the teas then?

#

i dont belive it untim i see it

sudden brook
#

I don't have it offhand @vestal wren should have it tho

#

can you take theotar tea then switch to nadjia ?

pure moth
#

Supposedly no. You lose the buff when you swap

vestal wren
sudden brook
#

There

#

It's legit an insignificant dps difference

vestal wren
#

just copy your gear profile to advanced, put this below -> hit sim

#

diffrences for subtlety are ~.3%

#

don't think it will be different for assassination

#

it also has all 4 buffs up for 25% of the time if you don't set a option

sudden brook
#

Ppl just looking to be mad at stuff

#

😥

vestal wren
#

damn, i can't log 100%tile, i got the wrong buff

#

(i am joking)

sudden brook
#

True

#

That's why I rank 1d eye is because I got agi

amber sun
#

really only 30 dps gain

bold jetty
#

249 phial in vault rip 😦

amber sun
#

and surprisingly vers is better for me

#

would not have thought that

cyan prawn
#

it's not 3% from the numerical stat

#

it just slaps 3% on top

vestal wren
#

its just 3% of a stat

cyan prawn
#

my crit went from 41 to 44% e.g. **on sub

amber sun
#

ahhhh

#

njow it makes sense

#

i dont know why i assumed it just increases your stat value by 3%

ah non buff was there then few second gone

If you change soulbind the buff dissapears, but you keep the item

vestal wren
quaint carbon
#

yeahh by th time i typed the buff was gone KEKWbald

vestal wren
#

oh lievet was faster^^

civic trellis
#

What i do is: use the buff prio the raid (1h before)

#

then you can switch once of cov in raid and reapply the buff

vestal wren
#

does the buff persist if you log out, i assume it does

civic trellis
#

for example, i play sub at tarra, then assa at the eye and the nine (so i need to switch cove here), then at nerzul / soulrender I reapply the buff since i play sub

#

Yeah it does

#

And the cd keeps ticking while you are logged out
