that’s just from my history of a sim i ran the other night after raid
just curious if you can slap doom on a sim rq and link it for me
I need to try simming r5 frost with dashing vs r5 unholy with other leggos
I’m on my phone at work too
ah
actually got it to start simming with the scuffed layout i get on mobile
doom is showing as 35 dps inc after this weeks gear acquisition. insane
Did you sim everything tho
!opener
!guide
no wft doom like 35-40 or whatever the dif is.
site barely functions on mobile for me so hard to tell
what is the best legendary for sin m+ ?
I got you, sec
Yeah DB sims higher for you. Do you have that 252 trink or is that just there for other reasons?
It's not bait at all
and im just waiting to be able to get a few fort keys done to upg my phial
But yeah fair
sack does like 7-8% of my breakdown sometimes
Yes sack does tons of damage but it gives mastery as opposed to AGI
fukem
It's probably fine until you get a better overall think tho the gland is understandably gross looking
Why is that phial still so low! Get it to 246 asap
Btw u got bis shoulder until u get them from mythic KTZ
Rogue in my group also has them + 252 glove
Question regarding Subterfuge: if you Vanish+reopen with full dots up (Garrote, Rupture, etc.), does the 80% increased damage from Garrote automatically start occurring? Or does Garrote need to be re-applied to proc the effect
Only new garottes get the dmg boost
Reapplied, its one of the few cases of snapshotting still around.
thx!
are you guys switching to nadija with the final row next week or sticking with theotar
my theotar is still simming a tiny bit higher
We were running Theo?
i dunno i did theo this week the potion gave me more dam
hmmmmmmmm, wack, I should sim it. Never considered Theo for ST
the 3% agi is nice
cause u get like 3% of ur agi vs 3% flat stats on secondaries
which is like 120 vers or w/e
vs 60? agi
u can sim it and try urself
nop
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
i have 12% vers rn with my gear and thats with
472 vers
so around that much yeah
sorry misunderstood before lol
ok i did the math
the 2nd stat is definitely better but not a huge diff
saw several party favor sims posted yesterday, some had agi top, some had agi bottom
but its like 30 dps best to worst
agi gets better with gear
Generally Id say 3% haste is best for most, unless you got way to much haste on ur gear if then vers might pull ahead, but its easy to sim
Also if you get Pi vers is probably better as well
Imagine giving a rogue PI 
Im livin life my dude
What do people even do when they are benched -_-
i work 7 12s and off 7 and my 7 12s on is always on fortified weeks and i have negative time to grind fort keys with the time off i have during my 7 on
Korthia dailies. Hang out in guild stream so you can jump in right away and be up to speed. Play final fantasy
Play new world while you wait
I was getting pis last night lol was nice but I'm one of the only people with the unholy set
In my raid
I just got my UH set last night. It’s insane
I only have the rank 2( or 3?) can’t remember. But it’s already a 700 increase on sims
Tonight will be fun
simming 7800 without atm
So the Shard sets only work in Sanctum, Torghast, and Maw/Korthia?
Do the individual effects of the shards work everywhere or are they under the same restriction?
Guys, generally, PB or CT for raid? Pb sims higher, but practically is it really so?
PB besides fatescribe
Then you got CT.
Unless you’re on rune duty then I would just stick with Pb
Thanks
man, fighting for my life out here, inb4 the check pins comments, without the nerfs, are we still going frost if they fix it? or Unholy all the way?
I got frost set rn, but I do not have unholy helm, but I also do not want to fullsend my embers into frost if unholy is better
I cannot get the damn helmet to drop for me no matter how hard I pray to the rngjesus
I COULD play sub, but I havent played it this xpac yet, and dont have a EoN yet
If u might go sub their tier go for unholy
I find it hard to follow the guides, and would love it if a accurate video guide existed
They individual shards are only 50% effective in pvp and no set bonus ofc
Since it’s good across the board
Pretty sure u can find one.. or watch a rogue streamers vods
Unfortunately it’s only Infexious that makes video guides
Got my 3rd UH shard off Eye and I was definitely feeling it
Marcelian makes guides
so the domination sets arent getting nerfed - what's the best way to upgrade them? I got my unholy shards all at lvl 4 atm - should i get the dps blood/frost to level 3 or 4 first before i upgrade my unholy set to 5?
Him and Dalaran are good. They are multi class guide makers, so it’s not as nuanced as discord info. Just basic stuff.
I mained warlock for 8.3 and 9.0 so I guess I’m just spoiled with Kalamazi 😂
No. set first
Well it’s 150 embers to get from rank 4 unholy set to rank 5. You get about 50 embers a week.
Rank 5 set first. Then do the extra
okay 🙂
no only raid
Oh man. Seeing that the sets aren't getting nerfed has made my day.
2 more weeks for max level set then 🙂
We also have no idea if they will buff frost or not
people getting set bonuses early was funny
i randomly checked a week 2 rank 1 log
cranking
openers are for tryhards
How do you get this graph with Warcraft logs ?
casts and you press timeline
Garrote on opener?
weird to see my assa st sims nearly same as my dslice outlaw xD
that must be subtrefuge?
no smile
it's not mine
so does the frost set work with the heimir soulbind to!? its procs crit !
Yeah
we are gonna be in this tier for a while, every shard of every player wil get upgraded to max, no need to panic or imo even save embers, just do whats great right now, and once/if frost starts to dominate start lvling it up
you are going to end up lvling up all your shards anyway, so imo no need to stress over it
yeah, i have 3 UH 3 Frost 2 Blood. no rush
i also wouldn't be surprised if the nerfs coming in next week get slightly adjusted to what we saw earlier this week
it may or may not be exactly the same % etc. We will see on tuesday i guess
No nerfs coming next week
was that confirmed? i haven't seen it yet
Check wowhead
will do thanks
Blizzard made a blue post about it I think
i see it now
well there we go then
this is why i went ahead and upgraded my unholy set on tuesday the moment i got my 3rd unholy shard anyway
We could still see buffs to the others
Right but their wording makes it seem like they want to make a change
We’ll see I guess
so personally i make decisions based on what is 100% known in live, because it would help my guild progress right now rather than sitting on my resources trying to predict and guess changes
and say should a change comes in and makes frost bis, who cares i start upgrading it, im upgrading my unholy set and 2 dps shard at the same rate
That’s usually the right approach however I’d say most guilds have already raided this week
so i already have my dps frost shard upgraded anyway
So waiting till tuesday isn’t hurtful in anyway
well yeah if you haven't by now then wait
but i upgraded on tuesday
before raid
i guess what if next week no changes comes in ...do you wait because you suspect a change the following week? what if you decide to upgrade next week but then the change comes in 2 weeks from now lol
please stop
with that line of thinking youre gonna have enough ember for every gem to r5 and still waiting or what
thats what im saying
if you wanna play it safe just upgrade it to r3 since it literally costs less embers than you get in a week
it's silly to try to play the guessing game and sit on your resources
I was specifically talking about right now, they said they might make changes in the coning days. It’s not unreasonable to wait till tuesday and upgrade then if you have already raided this week.
Send it upgrade speed ember to turbomax or no balls
What Legendary would be better for Venthyr Assa in M+ Zoldyck or Obedience?
They are close I went with obedience because I also play sub in keys
they said no nerfs but they prob still buff frost imo
I was thinking the same thing lol
where could i find what % dps increase bonus the shards and 3x bonus shard in avg for every classes? (without siming)
What do you guys do when you have a 3 min trinket like IQD?
Do you use it on CD or wait for Vendetta?
And if on CD, do you use flag with it every time & ignore Vendetta?
I use it "near CD" during big burst windows like the nearest vendetta or pillars on sludge etc.
So wait that 1 min to use it again with big cooldowns?
is it normal that a sim with frost gem is higher than unholy? (without dashing)
depends on the rank of your gems, but its possible
if I tag something with flag, and then use a finisher on a different target, do I have to be in melee range of the target with flag for the bonus damage to go through?
the damage from spending cp i mean
nope
ty
i think i won in wow. i got 252 Shadowgrasp totem 242 Phial 252 Tanglewood Thron. Chaos bane and blood 50% dmg shard.
is combat the easiest rogue spec for torghast/
I love Sub
shadowstrike, stealth, shadowstrike, stealth etc
??? Sin is perfectly fine in torghast
I have had no issue 4-5 staring torghast as sin
there are some op anima powers in there
just get a list of all the things you can do to get bonus points and knock them out like a checklist
That would be safe, what if they hotfix in a rank 6. You want to have enough saved up just in case.
just swap cheat for leeching and you're usually fine as sin in torghast
3 weeks an the game has not dropped a dom helmet for me, so I am just going all in on frost set and not waiting for unholy anymore
yeah i still dont have shoulders lol
using the 230 crafted right now while everything else is 239+
venthyr is still our best cov?
~best~ we don't know the meaning of the word
depends on what you mean by best.
terms of dps for raid/m+
well and therein lies the problem
there is no single best for all of em
long answer short, 
venthyr is slightly ahead for st
id say overall necro is still the optimal choice because its right behind venthyr at ST and above them on any amount of adds
either way its so minor, play what you want
bis sims single target venthyr 11531 vs necro 11282
its right behind
Necro is oversimming slightly though
bugs that will be fixed and no one is doing the sim dps anyway
both are rounding errors in the grand scheme of things

About 3% is not right behind tbh
its significant enough to notice
2.1% sir
dont forget to remove gems and enchant its all rounding errors
3% if the oversiming cause of the bug
well the bug exists
I mean i played both and i feel venthyr is so much better but thats just personal opnion
Probably will never be fixed knowing blizzard
I am enjoying having more than 1 build that is doing well, and not one doing significantly more than everything else for a change
Yeah i feel you rouge is in a good place unless ur nightfae lol
all 4 covs are above 11k sim dps so I call that a win, never seen blizzard balance anything this close before
even night fae
What is a rouge. You heathen.
hes a red, we are all red
if nothing else, I like the venthyr ability better than the others
not sure why but when you press flag it actually feels like something
also pretty good for ae
New to Sin rogue. Do we hold flagellation for vendetta?
Even Night Fae is fine I think, especially if you weigh in that it has the most valuable cov ability for raid with soul shape
Id rule out kyrian because it feels bad to play
What legendary is everyone using?
No it isnt that good
i miss soulshape
door is very valuable this tier
But for raid still better than door and w/e kyrian has
door of shadows is meh
ive only used door for mythic painsmith
door feels good this tier
nothing else
Wtf u use door for
Kyrian pot is good for sylvanas
movement
the only fight it has any value on is mythic painsmith lol
no
door very good for veils on sylvanas, bridges, skip painsmith wall
Door is good imo. It feels awful to use though.
can step
youre a rogue
but yes
you just leach out people
its safer than stepping if you dont trust your raiders lol
No use on CD unless it’s towards end of fight and won’t lose a cast of it
its free
Door would be a lot better if its cast time was half as long
yea save door for ball+trap overlaps
step your lock’s imp 
!guide
What legendary is everyone using?
Doomblade 
Doomblade
obedience is slightly better when you get a lot of gear
isnt kyrian legendary good?
whats sin, noob wow player here
Assassination
so doomblade it is?
You should sim ur character to be sure but if you're necrolord, you defo go doomblade
It’s one of the 2 or 3 raid choices for a legendary yes
i am a kyrian, what do u think is good then?
To swap to venthyr or necro 
But as kyrian I’d say Doomblade
But check the pins for sims and guides
!guide
alright, thanks a lot!
And for m+ Zoldyck seems good for Kyrian I think
any fights people are taking CT over PB as necro doomblade?
Depends on ypur raid team
Wouñdnt take it on Sylv, its better to just ST blast the big ads
On kt i run pb cuz im on the add phase so sgt it is
On the nine ran pb and went well :D
The only figjht ct is really good is on soulrender
its more dps
but still less for the other half of the fight
it is a minor loss though
Lol pb is only marginally better than CT. When bosses stand still.
Imagine movement
i dont think anything i said overestimated it
Nah was more in respnae to Motme who said ct is only really good on Soulrender
While it’s a solid choice on a lot of bosses
Yeah. Completely agree with Oz here.
I said depends on your raid team also
But even when you’re assigned with st damage ur safe to run it
Because it’s only a litte bit behind pb and it helps on aoe
How does it depend on ur raid team?
Swapping to CT on sylvanas was the best move
CT, more dps with multiple targets or/and more dps when targets moves.
cheers all
Hahaha

Dankjewel
yo guys im simming 300 dps more with frost set than unholy, still stick it with unholy or switch?
Wait and see if they fix frost in game it’s supposedly simming higher than it actually performs in game
Depends on what ur plan is with upgrading shards. Unh pulls ahead if you havw the shades on the same level.
(Sorry the typos, on phone)
Check the first pinned message in pins
I got tired of waiting for the rng in this game to allow me to get a helm with a socket
Think blizz already said they ain't nerfing unh set. So you can upgrade it
It’s not about nerfing
what if blizz fixes or even buffs frost
we become 51% crit gamers
What if what if.....
What if they fix necro bug
Frost r5 with dashing already beats unholy in sims
But sims are higher for frost then in game
would be very good indeed
no, keep the poison bug
This was fixed already they aren't nerfing unh set.
You’re misunderstanding
Dont really care about that poison bug, doesn’t affect my gameplay
without poison bug we might run into sin beating sub on pure st sims
I’m not talking about nerfs
Sim bait watch out
What I’m saying was true pre nerf
well this is with frost/unholy, whatever sims better for each
so poison bug gone and sin is just 100-200 dps ahead of sub
(under the assumption frost set will be fixed too)
only sad thing about frost is its only st
was poison bug with rap and gar fixed?
No

Frost was beating unholy with the right profile before the nerfs were a thing so were waiting to see if they fix a bug with frost or even buff it Tuesday.
Hey gamers anyone have a PI table??
Pinned in general
Thx
I've never seen any information like that. But ofcourse you can build that route. Atm I'm on 36% crit and unh is still ahead.
Read the pins. It’s with Dashing Scoundrel leggo.
To my understanding that was the information when unh was getting nerfed, but they reversed that now (that's why it's crossed out in pins).
Again, didn't know any info like that prior to unh nerf.
Blood mallets sims higher tier of frost sets better
Yeah I mean unless they buff frost or fix it in game idk if many people will run it anyway
Also its really good on aoe add cleave
But I know of a few who already run it
Bloodmallet is also simming with the unbugged frost
the frost shit was posted before any nerfs existed, but before any fixes were pushed
It’s not procing as much in game atm afaik
so it was like a 'maybe, lol' thing
Bugs*
!pb
Deadly Poison doesn't apply on some casts like Garrote, Rupture, and Shiv.
It's a minor bug but "notable" in that it does have some noticeable impact on DPS.
Should be around a 100-200 dps loss
Also the poison one XD
The command^
Ahhh thx
But if they buff frost o.o
if they buff it and make it work properly
Would be nuttybutty
it'll likely be ahead by a decent margin
True
enough that you'd be willing to drop aoe gains
Yep
I’m just chillin anyway until I find another guild to trial with
Failed my first trial ever due to low dps because no unholy set and everyone else in raid had it basically
Got the 3rd shard that same day 
frost was the first set i got so ive tried it for a week before switching to unholy. It does around the same damage overall as flag as sub, and i ran around 35% crit at the time
hey guys. do you ever use crimson tempest on single target ? or only envenom ?
Sorry yeah shiv windows
do you guys do +30 stats or eternal skirmish to chest
Skirmish
I accidently fell asleep through the first half of raid this week and missed fate kill, and trying to prog heroic fate
makes me sad
I just want my helm man
any good chaos bane weak aura tracking ?
whats the opener on boss fight?
With which talents and covenant?
venthyr, master assassin
vigor
Muti - Snd - Muti - Gar - Flag - Rup - Vend - Shiv - Vanish - Muti - Env - Muti
Every time.
The only thing that might change is the Env after the Vanish. Only Env if you're at 4-5 CP
If you're super unlucky and sit at 3, use another Muti.
is it really better to shiv-vanish-muti-env than to mut, pool for shiv, then shiv-vanish-env
if i need a specific wing in torghast for my lego, do i have to wait if the wing is not up or do they just drop in every wing now
do not pool during shiv/vendetta windows
You just slam everything during cooldowns (Shiv, Vend)
you don't pool during them
also you should be slamming shiv as much as possible on cooldown
holding it is a loss.
what if you delay vendetta until you're done pooling for shiv
no.
Also, it's better to Muti - Env - Muti
It's more combo points which translates to more damage
and more Envenoms
Well, honestly
it doesn't matter.
3cp envenoms?
As long as you press it when it's ready.
eww
No.
You don't do 3cp envenoms..........
I literally said previously
that you mutilate again
if you're at 3
@limber lion are u sticking w unh/DB or moving to frost/Dash?
Unh/DB
Does vendetta increase the dmg of flag? ie should I ever cast vendetta right before flag or macro them together to get a dmg increase on the initial lashes?
ya i think that makes sense too
It does, but you shouldn't.
You use use Vendetta after Rupture
Ok thanks a ton
is there a bis/sim list for trinkets for us?
bis?
Blood mallet
is doomblade still best single target leggo?
sim yourself
there's 3 viable options all seemingly within 20-80 dps of each other depending on your setup
aside from the two mentioned shadowgrasp totem is very very good too but ideal trinket set up imo is phial/guardian one
I only have a 226 phial... im being removed from heroic raid night before painsmith cos they are tsking only mythic team after that
226 guardian trink*
iqd is still amazing and immo its very good on some fights in raid
ticking sack trinket does more for me than phial
make sure you sim ticking sack becaues yes it does more damage but you dont get the ~100 agi which is 3x more valuable than mastery
cool now account for all the dps you lose going agi to mastery
But ticking doesn't have main stat
@slow marsh @lone wren ty
but yeah sac can highroll aswell which alot of other trinkets cant
Sack is good for sure. I wish I had one right now. But I wish I had a phial more
For ST its phantom fire and which weapon oils?
!oil
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
No plural bois
Fuck plural
That’s ableist
Seeing as how bone spike is bugged, is it worth switching over to venthyr for semi hardcore raiding and keys?
Yes.
Flag is bae. It does a good 10-15% of my dmg after 2 full rotations
Wtb flag with heirmer
Meanwhile BM hunters NF ability is their top dmg
I was venthyr before it was cool
is painsmiths fist weapon good ?
For sin? No
For outlaw yes, for sub it might be good in oh, but I think two sylv daggs still beat for sub
No.
!guide
STech procs are more important than some weapon skill
Wym
for weapon enchant is both sin?
Sub will never not use 2 daggers
Unless you have 1 really trash dagger at like 183
And then the H painsmith weapon drops, sure
Shadow techniques is good. So yes never slow offhand.
frost set getting buffed 45%
Ok theory crafters. Shit just got changed. What are we doing
You have exactly 2min before everyone here loses their shit
XD
lol
FUCK
👀👀 you see the upcoming buffs
jes
Not yet, let me Google it
dashing snowman giga bis ?
Just scroll 10 lines lol
That's a big buff
Just spent 100k on obedience…………….
I don't have that kind of time to spare them, 30 seconds or nothing
It’s legit the same shit lol
Oh well guess it’s more versatile….
Like now you basically got fucked over if the buffs changed what is best for your spec
But doesn’t feel as bad I guess
Who cares in 2 weeks we will have both anyway
good thing i startet upgrading frost gems
Hopefully yea
My original opinion remains the same. It's best to upgrade and not sit on stuff
And should things change we change and roll with it
so with the frost buff do we have to switch to necro? or am i just dumb?
From what I read venthyr will be best for frost
then i am just dumb

inb4 outlaw becomes the highest simming spec in the game
damn i only got 30%
outlaw is good for m+
New Domination Shard Set buffs:
With these new buffs to the blood and mainly frost sets, it is looking more and more likely that we will be using the frost set with the Dashing Scoundrel legendary, especially for single target encounters. It is already pulling ahead at r4 with Doomblade for some profiles, even more so with r5 gems and Dashing Scoundrel.
You can sim the frost set yourself using https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/topgear. Just remember to equip the Dashing Scoundrel legendary and toggle the "Replace existing gems/enchants" option. Do note that it is still quite a niche build, so make sure to sim yourself for multiple encounters, ie. Patchwork, 2-targets, cleave, 6 target target dummy 40s and Dungeon Slice.
**NOTE: The frost set requires a high shard rank and a lot of crit to work so well. With current gear, it is still likely that unholy might sim better for you, just because of lower crit levels, lower set ranks and whatnot. ALWAYS sim yourself before making any hasty decisions. **
Cev
where's whyspir ;w;
What's up

Cev secretly r6 dashing and max frost set already


Im actually happy that ive been that lazy and i didnt get enough cinders for rank 6 leggo

I honestly just want frost scoundrel to be good so I don't have to play sub, exclusively because theotar BLOWS
god fucking dammit
The June 18 galaxy brain
I screwed around with it Tuesday. It plays so smooth
Obviously shit damage
frost and DS were arguably better than unholy before the nerfs. Won't this huge buff automatically make frost the go to?
They were bugged so no, but presuming bugfixes go live possibly
in a st environment unholy is likely to be the worst
Pins, not up yet
In all reality most people already crafted a high rank leggo, + nad isn’t max till next week
I'm not sure why there's been people saying that the frost damage can proc at bad times, given that unholys proc is equally obnoxious
Plenty of time to farm embers and lego
No doubt about it.
i thought i saw a post from mr cev, safe to upgrade 
Soooo, we will need a shit ton of crit now
Good thing I already have 42% :)
good thing i didn't craft a rank 6 legendary yet
same
whats the best layer to farm soul ash
7 imo
Shame that i changed my stats, dropped crit from 37% to 29% 
9, so you can do vaults also.
with all my stuff crit i have like 44% lmaoooo
31% crit 
I'm at exactly 1000 crit rating
by the time you get the embers to upgrade your frost set you'll have the cinders anyway
ds will be better then doomblade?
Possibly. Depends on the buffs and how they sim
i feel you bro
Never
They should give embers refunds (but they won't)
39% crit da fuqqq
how much haste do you have then?
next wee we get last trait
soon as in 2 months??
In raw stats I have 1200 crit and 500 haste. 200 vers, 40 mastery.
Ohh the color of my name has changed to yellow? whats that about?
Roughly. Servers fucked so can't confirm ATM
well then
You picked outlaw
not unlucky now
1200 crit and and 500 haste!? whats your ilvl?
Imagine not having all shards by now 
its the helm that i dont have actually
I have frost set too, but I already spent everything on obedience…..
- That's not that high considering how low my vers and mast are.
rn the difference between unholy4 and blood4 on my profile is ~190 dps and a 20% buff to blood r4 pushes it up ~153 dps
so i guess you're right it'd still be a smidge behind unholy
which is.. kinda good?
Venthyr simd higher than necrolord for single target yet all the top sin parses are necrolords on most fights
Many fights have adds
Don't freak out over 2-3% Sim differences...focus on playing the core of your spec well
If I'm playing sin I'm playing to maximize single target/two target damage, since that's my job. Idgaf about how high the rank is
As of yesterday i had all the shards. 9/9, was drunk, just got my unholy set, finished up raid and it was like 1AM. Just got the frost set complete and socketed 2 bosses before i completed my Unholy set. Make a long story short I know have my unholy set in my Gear but now have 8/9 shards. Dont Drink and Shard my guys.
there are addons so this doesnt happen:)
But you said most fights have adds, so are you benching yourself with that logic? :p
The best part is, while i was putting my unholy shards in i swear to god, i was making fun of people who deleted their shards. "how dumb do you have to be to overwrite a shard"
3 mins later my dumb ass goes, wtf where did my frost shard go over disc. Every one cracks up.
no, because even if the fight has 100 adds you're there to ST
just because a fight has adds doesnt mean you'd optimise for pad
thats not why assarogues are brought to a raid kek
2 months out of a 16 month tier will hardly matter 😂
on prog for sure, farm we do dmg!
I upgraded my unholy shards, but boy am I keen to be able to run a new leggo
it matters cause sylvanas prog is in ~1 month
was being sarcastic
For that logic to apply your single target damage has to be significantly higher...which I'd not the case right now. Specially doesn't apply when we are discussing 2-3% differences
what are you talking about? rogue is legit doing the most ST in the game right now?
are we playing the same game?
Please read the discussion before responding to it
No one here was comparing the rogue class to other classes
Not sure what you are responding to
im just pointing out this makes no sense because if a fight has adds it doesnt automatically just mean u default to optimise to that, theres plenty of fights with adds where u still want the most optimal single target
dunno why thats confusing
Scroll up and read the full discussion
I was talking about venthyr being 2-3% higher on st than necrolord
is r4 the 30 cost ones
maybe i can get next week if i'm a good boy
i still have embers to farm this week
ye 5-15-30
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
IIRC you don’t want to cloak the chain as it’ll just go on someone else delaying the drag in
I believe it just recasts
Big rip but so funny you called that
What the best way to get embers?
Do weekly, raid... that's pretty much it, isn't it? 😄
Mythic raid clear and you're set
mythic raid is only 10 more embers than clearing heroic so it wont change too much
10 from the korthia weekly too
Are there particular bosses this raid where sin is a preferred option over sub? Same with sub over sin? I enjoy playing both :)
It's a lot of personal preference and what your guild needs
Assa is a good spec for the Eye, the Nine and Sylvanas. But every other fight, Sub takes the cake.
Sub is also really good for Sylvanas, it really depends on what you need
I personally play Assa on every fight myself and do great.
Sorry noob question but when you say "depends what you need" - like for for example
do you happen to know if frost will become good for sub as well or do you think unholy will remain best for sub?
We can't tell yet.
whats your educated guess though?
Like if you need orb or add damage on painsmith
You should ask about that in #subtlety
I have no clue.
Got it ty
hi, how bad is frost on multi target? does it not do the damage stored in an aoe?
the proc is ST but it stores all crits aoe or otherwise
strange, when i tested it on 2 dummies it hit both of them
are you sure it didn't hit each dummy once
i only tested it once so thats probably it
like 1 proc on each
well, it said it was going to do 2k damage, and it did 4 while i was standing between the two dummies
im thinking it might just have crit
too bad it doesnt have like, a vfx
yea look ok im a pleb i can like do it again in a sec
Can you even use sets on dummies? Are there dummies in the maw?
What dummies is this?
Ah
Ahh
how does dashing scoundrel work? what is the exact interaction to have good uptime?
Press buttons
does the envenom give you infinite posion crit?
Same playstyle
what is the uptime?
once i apply the envenom, how long does the crit buff last is what i mean******
Hello, I would like to know for MM + in assa is it more opti to play Necro or Venthyr?
Its your envenom buff duration
@carmine prairie both are pretty good
Play whichever u enjoy the most, very small difference tbh in keys
kinda with sbs bugs atm id say venthyr, but i personally prefer necro cuz i like the playstyle
don't play necro if you have a choice , don't think necro will be fixed anytime soon
lost my will to live using bonespike
been gone playing warlock, is sin doing that leggo swap pre pull crap like sub is?
nope
figured, since we need vanish for MA talent
its fixed for sin,outlaw but for some reason it still works on sub
thx
I also raid so it's better that I stay Venthyr?
If u are venthyr, and u like it stay venthyr
u wont see a massive difference in ur keys if u reroll necro. Only reason to reroll imo is if ur group needs a necrolord and already have a venthyr
I don't like having to delay my flagell to wait for my vendetta to come back
and I was wondering if with Zoldyck the Necro skill works?
(sry guys for my english :/)
You dont hold flag
I don't have to wait for my vandetta to use it?
in a 5 min fight u are losing a flag cast if u hold to line up ?
1
think this will change anything for us?
PINS
Only hold if you wont lose a cast
ok
And necro is very bugged right now @carmine prairie
if i still wear unholy would dashing be better than mut leggo
wait for them to be implemented and sim like everyone here :). Atm its all guesswork and napkin math
my sin will catch up soon... 
Theres no change to unholy, so no @strange python
Noessss i crafted my stupid gems yesterday =(
Sadge
Ah well, just goto get another 150ish
I like the ideaa of frost more, u can get kinda fcked from UH if it procs and u got nothing? Also no defensive aspect in UH
seeing it proc during painsmith intermission is truly painful
What i like about frost is thsat it enables dashing. Dashing is great.
when you have a 220 phail/242 shadow grasp and a 226 fusion sims betteer. 2 on use trinks...
macro em together and use on cd its not that bad
its 1.30 and shadowgrasp is 2.0
probably doesn't matter
- if you're playing obed it should line uup with flag and if you're not playing obed you'd cast on cd to not lose a cast
Wait why wouldn't it matter? Isent the whole point of grasp to use it because its hasted?
I mean i guess it might bot matter
Not*
I'd be surprised if the apl lined it up with flag
Oh you prob do not line it up
Othet than the opener
Gos typing on the pbone is horrible.
Any one elses server down ATM?
Just got to the computer and went to log in
haven't checked status yet
Who’s rocking some fat crit in anticipation of these big boi buffs?
waiting for sims but might be making a new lego for it
If you've done heroic, does normal and lfr drop stygian ember for you?
Yes, albeit a small amount
I did a normal Taz and got 2 stygian and Heroic gave me 1.
Not sure if there is a weekly cap off that.
not the other way around
if you do heroic first you wont get it from normal for those bosses
but if you do normal first then heroic it gives you the difference
Yeah I did a normal then a heroic. So i assume heroic gives 3. then
Ahh okay
Then I gotta wait till our mythic run for some stygian ember
Good to know, thanks
else we would all be complaining about having to do LFR every week just for embers
True
cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria
I love ghost busters
Hey could someone take a look at my logs, and let me know what I am doing wrong? I feel as though there are things I can be doing better but not sure what to do. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/vkaZ3HD1Cx7BhJmW#fight=30&type=damage-done&source=11
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iAQcfw33kZr1rdsN1Fg63G why does necro sim better than venthyr in raid?
any alternate ways to obtain the legendary memories than doing nathria raid? its so dead right now
you'll get 20 rogue groups soon enough

There's an item you can buy that gives you memories you don't have, using Grateful Offerings
anyone know?
Are you me? Literally finished both of these this week
You'll have enough cinders on tuesday to have both at 262
Doom or Dashing for Assasination Necro ?
Thanks. i wanted to make 100% sure
Id hold till sims on new shards on that call @knotty glade
i have 6 shards and 0 frost
so i'm hoping it takes us... ~3 weeks to finalize the sims and figure out which things to make
since i'm 90% sure the only shards i'll get are off sylvanas now
it do be like that sometimes
i just finished my unholy set
i had the frost set for a while, but no shoulderpiece
this system is downright horrid.
You seem to have Outlaw conduits equipped on your current gear. But otherwise I'm not sure.
Can anyone tell me what crit % i should be at ? Atm i seem to get no crit gear to drop.. all is haste mastery 🙃 sims also tell me to get more crit.
I mean, is there any break points?
If im running CT, do I refresh CT in single target moments?
yes outside of shiv
@tawdry sparrow breakpoint is when sims tell u to stop
Is frost only good with Dashing because of some kind of interaction, or is it likely to be good with Doomblade too?
Frost set benefits from crit. DS gives crit to your poisons. But who knows? Buff is pretty big
wow ... IQD is simming higher for me than Phial is
I wasn't expecting that
Maybe because I'm using frost shards?
Cauz he sim all time the stat
Since on sim no healer oom no other shit just you and an mannequin
It's strong tho not bad a bit more "hard" to handle on prog I think cauz a lot of shit can happens ^^
i hope this time the HYPE is real. and will not yield mediocre results like it was with obe xD
if it was 300 dps more with bis set., with upcoming buff it will be 500+? xD
frost boiz!
Are we all waiting to craft 262 legos still to see if Dashing will be better than doomblade or obedience?
for st only, sure
no you can have two 262 on tuesday so there isnt a reason to wait
well what if I'm a scrub and missed a few soul cinders here and there
Lol then waiting is probably fine
🙂 Just itching for that upgrade. Been waiting on it for a while
Frost may end up simming better but real world application is still yet to be seen
its apparently either bugged or not working as described on the tin
so who knows.
sounds like its been bugged the whole time
Im betting after next week they'll "fix" it or something
Bro r u made of gold
wait do we get any bonus cinders or did i miss something
They're only like 100k on my server
@timid talon How can we have 2 262 legendaries on tuesday? Am I missing something?
I have maybe 100 cinders left after crafting my last 262. We get 360 from a full week of torghast + 150 from all assaults. Max you can get is around 520 per week
Its week 5, another reset and you have enough.
Are you doing torments?
Mission table?
Why Frost set might be better only on st?
it does good damage and priorizing crit makes it do even more damage
thats why frost might become (with higher rank in the set) the go-to choice
Do you think unholy will still be competitive on ST compared to frost? Atleast worth keeping? Or will the gap be that large?
You can have both sets
And multiple legendaries
you will have both in the end
but its entirely possible that frost wins in the long run
Yeah, I just haven't had much luck with domination sockets or shards. Just feels pretty defeating having crafted my cloak on thursday.
And it’s getting a massive buff
question, if playing blindside, would i press ambush over mutilate? or would i press ambush whenever it pops up?
frost does not sim that much higher without changing gear
its only 1.5% with the default profile, switching gear did iirc put it more significant ahead
In what situation
You press mut on opener still
You press ambush whenever it procs, as long as you don’t overcap cps
You press ambush almost every time, unless you're bursting and have just been in stealth.
Mutilate has potential to generate 4cp.
Pretty sure that only applies on the opener
If you have a blindside proc you use it
Asap
okok thanks was just wondering for after opener
Just consume the proc
Pretty sure that's wrong clown.
If I've just vendetta flagellation envenom vanish and have a blindside proc
I would use mutilate from stealth
Then blindside
You don’t consume blindside from vanish that’s bad play
That's what I said earlier
and i would always play deeper with blindside right? not vigor?
Yep
Yes
Pretty sure you can ambush before vanish though btw
depends on when it procs and cp ye
i don't think you would spend cp, THEN ambush build into your next finisher with CDs up
Why don’t you just flag envenom ambush vanish
you'd spend the cp, and finish with CDs and then ambush
That's a good idea actually clown.
true but u wanna get CDs on CD
U don’t want to mut with a blindside proc
Would delay vanish and would have to be aware for next burst xD
It’s just a dps loss
Do frost buffs mean scoundrel frost set is back on the menu?
u still have the ambush to use after?
It already was, how is just stronger
Coool
You can only have one blindside proc at a time
ehhh
Any other button doesn’t matter
pretty sure in this situation it isn't a loss (or a significant one)
Not really. I still think saving it for after vanish is probs better
no im being sarcastic
Yeh next 262 is reset after next. Makes no diff anyway lol. 235 is fine for a cloak slot
Theotar tea is the scum of the year
And 2 weeks later frost set nerfed because a few specs and combinations are op with it.
That's possible 
if sin is ahead 100-300 dps in current iteration using frost R5/dashing, a 45% buff would put it around a possible 600>unholy
ye
not that op
compared to sin>sub last tier
which means certain gear becomes even better
or sin>outlaw
like iqd
i skipped 252 iqd last week
