and start looking for crit gear
full set r4 is only 90 embers?
Ofc I am lol.
r4-r5 3 weeks 1 shard per week
no thats each upgrade
i just have the frost set and no UH helm so prolly just going full send on frost and R4 DS
aw 😦
so what are the dom gems simming like? or should i just run my own sim?
300 total to max out a set
i mean gotta ask some people be in here simming like crazy and theyre in a guild stuck on heroic painsmith
Fair point.
@cedar crater always run your own sims
yeah rank 3 frost beats my r4 unholy
looks like we start upgrading unholy
i need go farm out more crit gear
My crit is only 27% so frost isn't looking great on me yet
and its only for ST
u mean upgrading frost?
Need that juicy sylv ring @lean coral
yeah 2 of my frost gems are only rank 1
bye bye MoTS dagger, hello plaguefall dagger
another good idea (imo) for frost is that outlaw frost is killing the sims right now, both st and aoe, so it's just a good investment to go that route
if you are like me and not enjoying sub much at all lol
does very little for outlaw aoe, bf cannot crit
u been giving some awful takes today
frost is not bad for outlaw
i actually think sub is more fun for me in raids, in keys it's just a 2 button spam and i get bored
yep so its better for raid and not for m+
it doesnt even work in m+
it wouldnt work in m+ anywasy
well outlaw's aoe output independent of frost bonus is great anyway, now frost is putting its single target ahead of everyone else too
lol
your feelings about outlaw don't change the fact its going to be better for raid though
..... 😦
the reason outlaw skyrocketed after frost buffs is because ghostly strikes also increases the proc's dmg
st tho is absudrd
outlaw aoe superiority has nothing to do with frost gems or any set bonuses ffs
?
it's just that frost set bonus is making outlaw also a strong ST spec right now
u said frost is doing good for outlaw aoe
no
So yes, with appropriate gear and such outlaw will blast. But it will be a while for most people to get to that point
yes
i said frost is doing good for outlaw becaue it's raising its single target damage , adding to its already superior aoe
thats wat u said
and aoe
not once in that sentence did i say frost gem is making its aoe stronger
yes you did
Hey, so I read in yhe FAQ that maldraxxi and venthyr are pretty much the same dmg wise, but it seems like everyone here is going venthyr- why that?🤔
lmao
its w/e lets continue our tc
i mean read the quote
Your whole premise was that "frost outlaw" is killing it in both st and aoe
look at punctuation
cuz we are in raid for ST damage so why not maximize ST damage ya know
Oh shit, here we go 
it's literally right there what i said lol
Exactly which is hilarious that you are arguing against it
.....
@lone wren i dont get the confusion, made sense to me
is theotar simbait?
simbait doesn't exist
he sims higher for you?
Well I am raiding HC atm but my main thing is m+. Should i switch to venth?
na you're prolly good
according to ST he's simming better for me, yeah
Showing -99 DPS switching to frost + upgrading my legendary cape 1 rank using scoundrel
K great thanks!
theotar triple potency will sim higher if you are doomblade and using maim
well at least someone gets it.
Does dashing frost impact windfury values?
yeah
My DHs have convinced our team that they're better in the wf group
And I'm sure that's wrong
negative ghost rider
its like warrior > dh isnt it
we were already bigger than DH before dashing
Yeah, but without the updated comparison my RL isn't gonna change it up
Sorry quick question, what is the main hand enchant for our dagger?
its not
And yes, arms>rogue>rest
wait how many dh's do you have?
jjust keep in mind that necrolord is hella bugged
2 dh, 1 unholy, 1 enh, 1 warrior, me
How cursed is it that frost t4 is 350 dps higher then t4 unholy at this point?
fuck the unholy in that situation no?
gotta sim yourself, but probably celestial guidance/sinful rev
ok thx!
blue post said they were not happy with the large gap between set bonuses, so they now made a large gap between set bonuses 😄
How come?
to be fair very small classes benefit from frost
classes that dont break the frost cap
hopefull wont nerf
So unholy still better?
gotta sim
frost better if u want to play nadija DS/BS with dash
for example: frost is simming higher for me (way higher) even with EP/Vigor/Obedience
Oh damn. I thought I was crazy when training on the dummies and my bonespike bleed vanished.
But I guess/hope they will fix that sooner or later lol. Thanks for the heads up though!
so you really have to sim for yourself
I would just wait for that Pin talking about which one is better, too much info going around right now about this or that is better
all you have to do is sim
Yep, but someone early said frost is a trap
or just wait for logs and look at this week
@strange python there is a windfury chart pinned in wow-general. Should be enough to convince that rogue is considerably better for it than anything in the group but the warrior
they said outlaw frost was a trap, no?
eventually none of this matters when everyone has all shards maxed
you can just swap for each boss if you want
outlaw frost def not a trap
DHs have pulled some shit from DH disc that shows it wasn't fully accurate, so RL doesn't believe the chart anymore. Curious if it's been updated with current sim profiles
mine sims higher then my sin and it doesnt have a 252 mh like my sin does
that's rough
but the thing with outlaw is it gains so much more dps from upgrading celereity ring to 262
so much stats
@strange python I mean if anything the unholy should be out. It doesn't do much for them
Man if only they weren’t pirates
if only they weren't 500apm
Do you actually be targeting a mob so shadowgrasp gets the cdr? or is it just anything that dies within its range triggers the cdr?
They’re wrong
It is accurate for DHs
Is the Avade/Limit windfury dh still a thing?
They were wrong
yeah but it seems the dhs are full on copium
So sin "worse" now?

dashing frost set go burrr
real fucking good but worse than the other specs according to sims
what about stats for dashing-frost? crit mastery?
crit haste
i assume crit should be higher due to frost shards?
yes
@nocturne geode how is it at rank3v
damage wise
U mean leggo or shards?
lego and shards
there are sims pinned on #subtlety I think
other than that you gotta sim for yourself
Not looking for a definitive answer just speculating here but do yall think prioritizing crit and going scoundrel is gonna make decanter of endless howling good?
thank you so much can we consider going dashing over doomblade now?
could someone help me with leggo upgrade? I was waiting till today to upgrade my leggo to 6 am I just best upgrading dashing to 6 now over OB and DB? I was gonna do doom for the ST (I Have all frost gems waiting on shoulders to drop) so not sure whats best.
gotta sim
highly dependent on your gear
On 2/3 targets: Do I still press Shiv on CD, and should I still apply bleeds to secondary target during Shiv window? (Doomblade, PB, Necro)
No harm in playing the wait & watch game. Upgrading doesnt increase the leggo power so outside of iLVL you wont miss the boat on much until things get more clear
will be interesting to see how many will bother going with BS DS
ep vigor still sims a lot higher with frost set for me
dropping 4 ilvl to stack crit and run a rank 3 DS is a 300 dps increase going to rank 3 frost from rank 3 unholy

If outlaw is highest single target it will likely just be best overall spec right?
that what i was saying earlier
frost is making its single target ahead of all other specs, and they were already ahead on aoe.
if you enjoy playing it, sure
not sure if they will get a nerf or something (i doubt it) but as of now with how things stand, yes outlaw is the superior rogue spec (strictly numbers wise)
wut
thanks!
They pretty much removed all pirate references after Legion
Roll the bones buffs is about it
Haven’t played them since legion
now outlaw is just the guy that mugs you outside the goldshire inn with a pistol
Lmao
i still wanna know what an outlaw rogue does with their other sword in middle of combat when they pull out their gun ...it feels like you need 3 arms to be an outlaw rogue in wow ...but we only have 2 ...
the obvious answer is you weld the gun to the sword
They should have just left it at combat
what were you doing at the goldshire inn, sir?
Purging
might as well go play a gunblade on ffxiv then!
If you never have to move away from boss, ye
But yea looking at the sim numbers they are posting are insane, idk if it’s a trap or not
I'd be happy if they let outlaw use glaives, and they kind of are, but not really. Depends on the boss, but keep in mind without the ability to constantly be resetting cooldowns things get thrown off a lot
I will stick to Sin to make my life easier
Whereas sin and sub are known values
Not ready for that 900apm class yet
It's only 900apm during AR
the only concerning thing is, because of how much higher they are in ST they might get a nerf, but based on the nature of how they became so OP ...it's kind of hard to tune them down without needing a lot of rework which blizzard doesn't like to do mid patch, which is why i said i doubt they will get nerfed in 8.1, but none of us really knows. We can only go by the info we have now.
oh man if you have to use the current talent setup
People gonna break their fingers
Marked for Death, Ghostly Strike, and Killing spree are the simmed talents for the frost build
I'm in a dilemma. I open my vault and see Edge of Night (norm) in the vault. I run the sim and it has me picking the boots over it. Is that a trap or should I go with the dagger still? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7sHvFQmcqKUe9BucmmsVyi
it's so much fun to play that build, i love running it
KS isnt too hard to use just need to be careful
It's 100% dagger every time, right?
So it looks like the ~27 dps is mostly coming from stat rebalances
If you got the dagger and then another item to fix your stat balances you'd have a higher ceiling
That's what I was thinking
it's very fast paced, specially compared to sin and will get a bit of getting used to, but it's a lot of fun.
Ghostly strike is like a less toxic Essence Break
ghostly is nice because it resets from restless blades as well
Where you don't lose 5-10% DPS for fucking up your essence break
with mfd its cake to have everything up when you need it
i need to build my outlaw legendary which i was going to ...but now i have to think about dashing on sin and this whole thing has been annoying
Literally used that build for like the last 8 months, it's really not that different 😛
It's been the top simming build since BfA at most points
they should give DH's bladedance 100% dodge to KS 😄
i mean, i cant make better numbers as outlaw on single target as assa
Not for my setup lol, mostly was just ghostly/deeper strategem which is slow as fuck and feels really punishing when you get bad rolls because they dont reset as fast
Have you tried equipping Mythic Painsmith weapon, Mythic Sylvanas dagger, and using R6 Celerity with BiS Conduits? 😄
but with killing spree being an energy generator, mfd which tends to reset things slightly faster, and increased gear levels its feeling nice now
But seriously, people do just need to sim their own gear and combos
BiS setups are irrelevant for most people
Yep like even though we got cutting edge I never got stone legion shoulders so really I should have been using a different set up
but 
i suspect many people are simming shard set bonuses incorrectly and getting varied results too
or simming without the piece that activates the set bonus etc
The shard bonuses are fucking weird, IMO
All I know is im excited for my frost buff tonight
Having to select to replace gems seems very unintuitive IMO
Like it's always good to know what the ideal setups are in theory for farm but mostly you need to research what is best for what you have available right now
^^^^
Sadly... I'm considering buying a heroic Sylvanas kill this week any hoping I can get the damn dagger 😦
so much that, if your guild is going into a prog kill tonight, does it matter what set up will be BiS for you 4 weeks from now? (that is assuming you even get lucky with your drops and dont get 4 belts in your GV like i did)
not worth it bro i've killed that boss like 3-4 times now
Might be puggable soon if it isnt already
and still not got it
It's puggable, but everyone wants AotC already which I don't have.
Just remember that everyweek it goes by it gets easier and easier to kill sylv
Yep it's always like that, sucks at first, but look for maybe a high ilvl pug group sometimes you can squeeze by with enough ilvl
So sooner or later u guys will get it
@alpine latch there is a WA that changes your dom gems just needs some setup
tell that to ppl still waiting to get their ashvane razer coral!
I meant on raidbots, not in game
Although thanks for letting me know.. I'll definitely check that out
How is the dashing scoundrel build looking?
fun
At r3 frost DS is 12 DPS higher than Obedience.
What if you're necro?
Supposedly it'll get stronger at r4 and r5
sim it mang
hard to sim when frost changes aren't in raidbots, right?
They are
they are
oh, nice
They were added a few hours ago
jinx you owe me a soda
thats not by a lot
also as koji mentioned, it seems frost currently oversim slightly
how come?
its explained in #tc-updates
They changed the spell data slightly for the hotfix
gotcha
can't get frost to sim higher https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/aLB6JSZfUy6kqezVGi62km
what am i missing. Is this just worth when we're decked out?
well that's a sub sim
wtf 10k
nadja still better with frost maybe
kk will try
frost is still not nessecerly the best choice for your gear
i both hate how there is no firm answer and love it
is it worth making Doomblade 262 now and building towards frost+dashing ?
are we not all going to be playing outlaw
you can sim it, but i would hold on to my sims till frost is fixed
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/juEDkAWEGduV7SxerG6GiF Yeah I just simmed frost + dashing and it's around a 250 dps loss still.
doomblade is stronger atm for my gear, but i mean it´s jsut a few more ranks and then some crit right
However, I am necro
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/3Rx6sxfB3UHzzKeAMEYgkQ i mean this is with t5 frost and unholy but damn just feels weird to know that the decision we made with unholy and obedience/doomblade is fcked for like 350dps :d
I don't see why you'd stick to assassination
Fuck no
toadie is usually right
TC's say frost higher ranks oversim
not even being a memer
aNd tHatS whY yOu dOnT pArSe
id just wait for fixes
pretty sure fixes went in with patch.
Theres nothing wrong with assassination
blue post said they "identified a bug with the Winds of Winter preventing some damage and healing abilities from counting towards its total"
Luckily they didn’t identify anything wrong with sbs as of this moment
Is it seeming like dashing is only viable for venthyr?
this is important too ^^^ with my memer message about being frost already ALWAYS SIM YOURSELF
Shouldn't have full sent the unholy shards last week lol
BiS is subjective asf, always sim.
Wait, is dashing now bether than doomblade and for how much?
only with frost
nobody in here can tell you what is preforming better with your current gear set. always sim.
Will depend on your gear I have high crit and vers with almost no mastery
and frost is currently overcoming slightly, give the simc devs some time to fix this
yeah bis doesn't really matter if you can't get there 😛
Do we have an estimate how much it's oversimming? My Sim was just with r4 frost but it was beating uh shards by like 4%
depends on the rank
it mainly oversims on higher ranks
because blizz changed their spell data
bro sim with blood set
lmao
it will beat that 100%
no questions asked
How do you get daggers to actually drop so I can stop using my 220s. For fucks sake
Grind grind grind
If I could give away my spare mists daggers I would I seen 2 of them last week and then looted a 252 from my vault today
bro you dont have a shard of dyz socketed
ur fried

the sim is fried
fair enough
do it again with shard of dyz im interested in the result

it really doesn't matter cause extending at this point and wont have upgraded frost or blood before we kill sylvanas
so
cause im a fan of sub blodo
oof
fair enough
And after that i aint playing
how many embers do you have? could be the case that a rank 3 blood might beat a rank 4 unholy
So I just acquired all 3 frost shards. What lvl should I upgrade them to?
i would hold on with upgrading
kk
Do you guys run EP/Vigor/PB for all fights?
WCL is down for my fiber line at work, so I can't see what the top parses are running
does anything build wise change with dashing giving you extra energy? or is that gain not big enough to not go Vigor and/or Blindside?
@alpine latch a lot of logs are private as well, sim your character, typically BS+DS sims higher
For most, you'd substitute PB for CT on some fights.
229 dagger, woo. If nothing else I can upgrade that later
Well, you'd use the frost set instead of unholy.
Ye i know that much, im speaking exclusively talents
I assume one of those is Soulrender, but what else?
50+ keys and I finally got a dagger
Fatescribe, KT
Still not sure if im even going to make dashing.... torg is such a drag
I've tried substituting with r4 frost and different legendaries and it's always about a 1-2% loss to go Frost > Unholy. Is it like a haste/crit thing?
So, Soulrender, Fatescribe, and KT .. Got it. Thanks dude.
No worries mate.
I need to start simming talents if I go Dashing also, to see if that changes anything.
is dashing bis with unholy now too? or just frost?
Hate to hear that
i simmed with my current crit 262 obv/dashing/bloodfang (42 % current crit withf frost shards) dashing was most damage
is IQD a bait?
Nope
i assume it even gained a little bit of value with frost
Yeah, once I equipped the frost bonus it skyrocketed for me
It's still not as good a Phial though, that I can tell.
so if I still at this point dont even have all my forst shards
should I just make 262 doomblade?
225 doomblade lol
I'm making r4s of everything and going from there. I have a r6 Obedience which is great for now
If you're Venthyr and want a one-size-fits-all legendary, Obedience is great. It's not the best for m+ or ST, but it's extremely close for both
I'm still waiting the sims 
Just sim your character
always

Hi, if I can get PI do I want it on vendetta or flagellation?
is that a trick question?
Look at this kid who gets PI
Imagine waste PI on a rogue 
PI me
In dungeons with my friend
Mine the lock or boomie
Can sync it with vendetta, same CD
that feeling when you got impatient and spent all your embers on blood shds
One of our priests specifically PIs people after their CDs are over
Because he thinks it's hilarious
what a waste of breath
So On cleave like the nine, should I open normally with CDs on main target, then when CDs are done switch to cleaving?
Or should I get an extra rupture and CT off then blow CDs
Did I miss general shard sims somewhere or are they still being worked on?
frost still sims higher than its supposed to
i have some pinned in #subtlety
Thanks fuu
did I just
Did they not fix the price rate?
raidbots currently is oversimming slightly, so you need to wait till the new builld is live
word
So they didn’t fix procs in game?
they did
it is fixed in game
but they changed the spell to be split in multiple
Then why is it over simming
instead of just changing a modifier
so this means the set bonus is atm oversimming slightly on higher ranks
Ah
but its already fixed in simc and serialos is already starting to rebuild it on raidbots
so soon™️ the fix is live
Kk
can you guys go submit a PR to fix bone spike in this game called world of warcraft? I'm sure this group would get it done faster than that small indy dev company that currently works on it.
Will it be weekly or nightly
haha, i wish we could
O.o
do i have to have the dom slot gear in my possession in order to sim for the frost set? top gear will not let me select the three frost shards along with the dom slot boots in my vault. i only have 2 pieces of gear with slots on me (shoulder and hands, so the frost bonus would be active if i got a third piece)
then any idea what the issue could be?
At top of the enchants/gems window
oof thx
Ye
!stats
The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear
through Top Gear.
Haste > Versatility => Critical Strike => Mastery
Is SBS still bugged?
Yep
just a cov ability barely working, no biggy after 2 weeks I guess
crit > haste?
actually 30% crit, 29% haste and 9% versa, for raid i think is need more versa
Nah
wait that so much haste
what is the lowest haste i can have on sin to be able to play
0%
i think for sin, haste its so good
that's a big lie
its not unplayable at 0 but it sure isnt fun lol, i remember 12% wasnt fun
You can literally run 0% haste in dungeons I know for a fact and be 100% fine
your energy cry xd
Haste doesn’t benefit energy regen as much as you might think
bleed dots and finishers do
but isnt sin highest damage for raid its melee
Normally envenom
yeah
Ye
thats for m+
Sim yourself
i more meant for raid
I mean haste is good I’m not denying that
But there’s no set amount of any stat you need
You can do fine with lower haste
Knowing how to play the spec will get you much farther
Than any stats will
lol
And atm it’s looking like if we go to frost shards instead of unholy
We will stack crit above all else
And use dashing scoundrel legendary
But ofc that’s all optional and not necessary
are we frost shards now?
Still waiting for proper implementation in raidbots
Then you can sim yourself to see
But possibly becoming “bis” yeah
Frost is about to make outlaw #1 in single target
just go for the unholy it probably more consistent damage
to be fair
its up time is nuts
How can I sim other sets if I only have unholy set in my bags? I see the choices for the shards but not sure how to add the other gear pieces to sim?
hmm, and if we move to Dashing Scoundrel , what would be the slot?
There’s a check box you need to click at the top of the enchants and gems window
Cloak
is there a way to sim the gear you dont have? I am missing UH head and have not upgraded any shards yet and dont want to make the wrong choice of going frost vs UH
do yall usually run torg as sin, or swap?
This one? It only shows more enchants?
No the 2nd one
You have it checked
You just have to click the shards in the shard window
gear compare
It still doesn't sim with the set bonuses it seems
Unholy still like 400+ dps than the rest
There should be another check box for dom shard set bonus
Somewhere on the page
Make sure u know which rank your applying
meh, I'm blind
All those different names are different ranks
Im applying all the same ranks
Yep
I applied the last rank for all
Try applying dashing scoundrel legendary
Also you need high crit
The proper frost shard effect isn’t implemented on raidbots yet
It might just not pull ahead for your profile atm
Quick question! The FAQ seems to say on single target Obedience > Doomblade but Sims and top logs seem to say the opposite. I'm finally getting to main swap Rogue tonight and only have enough ash for one. I assume I just follow the sims and go Doomblade?
oh I see, thought it was updated cause they say it is at the top of raidbots
Most people have been staying doomblade unless they want 1 leggo for raid/m+ they go obedience
Not 100% properly yet
It should be slightly over simming
But like I said, your profile, so your miles may vary
Everyone’s profile is different
Faq is based on bis and nobody has full bis yet 😉
Check #subtlety pins
For “bis” profile with frost
Thanks, realize I also didn't sim with Blindside only EP so that might change things
I was expecting the final power in the soulbind tree would be more than... 69 dps
I simmed and didnt see any increase and then simmed between having it and not having it and yeah. its kinda shitty
The tea thing?
So any other thoughts on how much I'd regret making a 262 doomblade right now?
oh im necro / bonesmith
as a necro gamer
we can cry together buddy
im using doomblade on necro, its great
i have then played sub and never touched that leggo
yeaaaa
rip my soul cinders
ive simmed dashing a few times and its never really a huge leap away from doomblade
for me
only rank 4 frost set so far
With the way the bonus works is tbetter to upgrade them all evently or like
1 at a time
All evenly
Anyone know if there is a way to plug in a legendary item in the "gear compare" section of raid bots?
Holy. Soulrender trinket suddenly huge with frost set
Sims updated for ticking trink nerf?
which trinket?
If low rank frost crystals out sim any other shards I have equipped, I guess I should just switch, right?
instead of waiting for updated sims
Taza trinket got a bugfix I think
How would you open on a fight with 2 bosses. Would you do you normal opener on one of them the spread bleeds to the second one after?
gotcha
I'm really having a hard time trying to sim domination sockets because I don't have a fully upgraded Dashing
And I have virtually no clue how to get Raidbots to sim higher ranks of frost gems
anyone willing to help out?
Is dashing the new lego to go?
if u using frost shards aparently
So frost set + Dashing sims higher than doomblade for me but I heard somewhere that its an simtrap, wdy guys think about it?
id wait and see how it flushes out, but if you have to build one now, doom is safer bet
make dashing later if needed
top gear lets you pick the upgraded shards, you just gotta click the "replace existing" checkbox at the top
Got 262 doomblade but I am suppose to do HC reclear tmrw so might be fun to test it out
Any sims with this? Actually curious
Just upgraded my obe to 262 thinking it was my doomblade lmao
You're a legend @wild beacon
blessing in disguise, since dashing might replace doomblade for ST
if u have the frost shard
Not sure if i'm simming wrong here https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eaZxHZFRfJwiuoj6wFpEGR But yeah it doesn't seem like dashing is anywhere close to being worth using
Doomblade + Necro + Unholy its fine. As long as you play decent. Don't feel scared / bad cause there is a combination that does 2% more dps on sims. We still hit like a fucking truck
I like min-maxing, but also it's fun to play around with new builds
so it's an exciting day for me
kk let me try resim
Hehe it deffinetly is!
not if you are like me and low on soul ash
how come that normal edge of night 233 sims worse than 226 ofhand dagger
Reminds me of legion when every class didn't just use 1 legendary with a passive effect 
Cause EoN kinda dick for ass rogues
it really should not.
something is wrong
yea offhand sylv dagger should beat like any other dagger almost
@rigid monolith https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/cTuciE3NhXx7WYeRZaTtQo nothing much particularly changed.
Still shows dashing at like a 37 dps decrease even with better gems.
Again, could be simming wrong cause i'm new to this level of sim fuckery
necrolord probably pushing doomblade ahead since iirc the bleed counts
you need high crit + 4-5 rank frost gems.
yep, that's what I was thinking as well
how long does it take for unholy to proc?
a long time
between 1 and 1,5 mins
is my experience
soo if frost and unholy are kinda even then i guess frost is more reliable?
Seems that way
most fights are ST in SoD too
Only a 23 dps increase with frost atm
so maybe not even worth it
are you simming same rank UH and frost?
yeah
i need way more crit before i even think about dashing/frost. unholy and doom still fine until then
I have them both at desolate atm
is there a certain crit chance we should be aiming for?
whenever sim tells you to swap thats when you have enough crit lol
I guess the margin here is pretty thin which is why I ask
general I see people with closer to 40% or 1000ish crit rating it seems like
but its still to early to know for sure
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tfjtrXjUDA34TSFCpnRFF5 here's an example of what i'm looking at
Unholy at max comes out 3 dps ahead
are you simming different conduits?
not atm, which conduits should I consider?
maim with doomblade is outsimming for me and some others that I've seen
outsimming steel
yeah maim always outsims by a bit for me as well
But it wont' change gem prio I don't think
yea, i think the differences are going to be pretty minor
Frost has its own issues. Blood is really the only reliable one of the three.
Okay now things are getting wild with my sims and Idk what I changed
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rEbHZq1hEN7V2n9q5U9ND2 Now Dashing is simming equivelantly high to doomblade.
This is with max upgrades
unholy at 40 dps lower
people were saying earlier today that frost was only pulling ahead at like r4/5
Gotcha, so I wonder if it'll be worth the investment then
A little part of me is concerned Blizzard is going to fuck something up
i mean if outlaw is actually as good as it looks they already did fuck up
Frost seems pretty neutral at R3 for my setup
Outlaw just gains more from Frost than most specs
Due to the increased crit chance?
holy
I don't want to learn the harder spec 😦
jk sounds like fun
Then investing in frost seems like a better bet for multi-specs too
sin is very easy to do competive damage on while still doing mechanics
Big true. Outlaw is real fun though, just requires a lot more investment to perform.
If only Shards worked in M+ so it could b efun to test out outside of raids and dailies
outlaw isn't hard xd just takes some time to get used to
so frost changes has been implemented in raidbot nightly and is slitghly oversiming right now ?
Just a lot of things to keep track of @real bay
Outlaw isn't hard, but you will get carpal tunnel
yes a lotta spam
sim yourself it is dependent on gear and what rank shards you have
but yes the sims are updated
well its only a +40 dps for me and considering its apparently oversiming, i'm alright
Wonder if it's oversimming by a lot
I dont know anything about frost oversimming
could be by a really marginal amount
I mean similarly to Frost for Assassination
Unless you actually have a good setup for Outlaw, it isn't just going to be magically better
With my available gear, Outlaw still sims about 200 DPS lower than Assassination even with Frost. It will all depend on if you have weapons/conduits/legendaries/etc.
There's no silver bullet here
true, but swapping to outlaw should be fairly easy since dont they general want crit and haste also?
Yes if you can get weapons and Conduits
im gunna be real mad when i end up with outlaw weapons before seeing a single dagger drop
probs gonna start opening vault as outlaw
got 252 daggers and ima just give up on the sylv one
outlaw still uses sylv dagger offhand im pretty sure
2x 252 daggers? lucky boi
yeh but i assume a high IL outlaw weap is prio
The real question is if celerity will still be BiS
outlaw can get both from vault im pretty sure
Almost certainly
outlaw loot spec cant drop the dagger from sylv so I dont think it will come from vault
should I put any thought into when or what order I do my double on use
Who would've thought shards of domination would spice things up, even if a bit.
Maybe this is a precursor to tier sets in 9.2 making loot fun again.
tier sets are better than dom shards imo
Of course
I assume shadowgrasp totem doesn't scale with haste at all so I should use amplifier on pull with lust and then totem 20 sec later?
orly I thought one spec could get both daggers and swords etc. maybe thats sub...
Tier sets are GOAT. But at least it’s better than Nathria where it’s all the same shit
I think it snapshots haste
Sub only gets daggers.
ok 
if I use it first I can get the tail end of flag buff during fusion amp but i miss like 10 seconds of the haste buff
realistically, i'm not getting M KT's shoulder any time soon, would shoulder from M tarragrue be better than H KT one? I don't have either
I guess so? more agility
but secondaries suck big dong
obligatory
sim it
8^)
its probably quite close depending on your gear compisition
advanced sims are big 
I have a question. If my sims are saying theo and unholy is best is that what i should stick with?
sim in question https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/vQkXxW9ioLX2NifkcMhs2r
do we go frost shards now?
frost set at tier 3 was over 100 dps upgrade than unholy at tier 4 for me
without ds
crazy
i have both t3
yeah i simmed it too and mine was the same way
Have the frost sims been updated yet?
They said it was over valued at higher ranks
Nvm yes it was
Make sure you run sim again it was updated like an hour ago
i ran it liek 10 min ago
my sim is old
Yea because EP/Vigor is just a lower simming talent combo for ST
ahh i didn't even notice that thanks!
Hey this may have gotten mentioned already and I see it in the pins, but is the necro bonespike ability still pretty bugged?
ok so i ran it again and t3 frost sims higher than t4 unholy for me by 21.
You can prob buy the deadly ring too
does anyone know why sack of terror sims so high? better than a 252 IQD
Im a bit confused at the moment. I see a lot of people with frost being better, but for me simming r5 unholy vs r5 frost, unholy is definitely better. Does covenent choice make a difference? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/waREiK9f2ePw958b3zLTM3
my sims still put unholy ahead by 60 too 🤷♀️
works for me, dont have to upgrade anything else 
Use this
Ahh nice, ty. Many regrets crafting doomblade and upgrading unholy gems now :(
Gonna be a few weeks to catch back up
@south horizon doom blade is still good, think dashing is for pure ST only…
I see you’re NF, may want to switch necro or venth
how do you ez swap the legendaries in sims again? i saw it explained once but uh
er
By using top gear.
It scales normally with haste like any DoT effect
frost +300 on sims
doesn't feel like it in raid 
so no small benefit to be gained from using them in a certain order?
Foreboding the highest rank on shards?
Sims should tell you which of the two slots are preferred, if there is any difference between them
Top slot would be implied as being used first
If neither is a stat trinket
Typically I would say using the shorter cooldown trinket first is usually better
sick, doomblade still sims higher than dashing for me somehow, i dont have to make a new one!
So I have 90 embers, do I upgrade my 3 UH shards to Foreboding or hold off? I only have the three domination sockets atm
stats for m+ sin
crit mastery
unless using MA leggo (my personal pref) then haste / vers
but minmaxing sin for m+ isn't a big difference i think compared to the other two specs
what's the difference like on aoe?
and if you're playing sin you should still have solid ST
whatever sims best
Where can I find the soulbinds for assassination
oop
!guide
Very dumb question... Does it matter specifically what shard I put into the pair of boots I just got from the vault?
if it's not a set bonus it shouldn't matter
I only have the UH 3-pc, missing 1 each on Blood & Frost
*edit// 3 piece, lol
y'all do anything different playing maim and mangle over WPS?
nope; afaik none of the soulbinds/conduits change the apl
If Obedience is simming better why do people run Doomblade? Is it a playstyle thing? I am switching from Sub so
It depends on Sims on whether or not it's better
It's also close enough that people play doomblade out of laziness
doomblade is easier? it's just passive extra damage essentially, right?
yes same as dashing
I mean they're both.. easy. One is just making sure you get enough finisher CP spent to maximize lowering flag cd
With flag, you want to use it WITH things like vendetta, right? Not before it to get the bonus stats during vend?
You only sync if you won’t lose a cast
ok got it yeah
Gut says it's worth desyncing flag from vend with nadjia but not sure - anyone checked?
Doom blade keeps CDs at 2 min timing with guaranteed flag when you want to play those timings where as obi moves you to like a 2:20 cycle, makes a different for some fights based on kill time. They’re almost dead even for a 5 min fight but the damage profile and timing of each may be better for different encounters
Play style is the same for both, you should be maximizing combo points for flags regardless
Yes except for situations in which you don’t lose flag casts for holding or what to condense your burst
For example on sylv you send 2 mins on pull, again at end of p1, first p2 burn, second p2 burn, 2nd p3 plat and last p3 plat with lust, so on that and similar situations where your cool downs are hard set you never desync
Stupid question but I've died twice to it now and don't wanna die in mythic
How do you shadow step the beam on the Eye? Both times I've done it it just teleports me directly into the beam even if it's at the side of the room
doesnt shadowstep always puts you in the same spot? so you just need to make sure beam isnt there
yeah its always worked for me; basically slightly to the left of the middle of the platform, 7 o'clock or so if it was a clock face
I might of been doing it too early then I guess, I was dieing around the 7 o'clock mark so much be that cheers
Yeah, its the same spot every time, so if it goes left->right just shadowstep once the beam have passed midpoint
right to left you have t wait longer
Cheers, for some reason Im sure I saw a video where it landed him at the middle of the room but must of been wrong hahah
Thanks again!
Yo scoundrel frost sin feels so good definitely 1 tricking
Is the unholy dom shard set bonus still our best option?
what would scoundrel be crafted on
anyone know how this reforced conduit will work?
Windfury giving me 3.1% with frost scoundrel if anyone else is curious for raid comps
why is my assa sim encouraging me to run lower and lower haste
in this i end up running 18.5% or so
and it just feels awful to actually play
So, how many of you guys are in a Mythic Raiding Guild?
I will say, the dashing frost opener feels really slow
Might be worth just rupturing on 4cp to get envenom Regen up?
what does scoundrel have to do with it being slower running DS prev to frost buff
so is the frost set still over simming?
what sims
apparently the frost set was over-simming earlier due to rank issues
ok cool
once sims are posted we'll see, its still likely to be better
is there a way to just add a flat amount of stats to myself for a sim?
yea its must closer now. i'm seeing a 0.3% frost over unholy at r4 and 0.8% frost over unholy at r5 now
you can rupture at 4 at all points of the fight with ds, so it's perfectly fine in the opener @strange python
and you theoretically can add stats to yourself in the sim but it's not pretty
if you're looking for frost information stat plots are probably the best method but it's still not.. amazing
nah, trying to help a warlock guildie figure something out with some haste breakpoint
if its not easy i'll just tell him to guess
adding something basic like
dps_plot_stat=haste,crit,mastery,versatility``` and looking at the points gained per stat in the report should be fine for something like that
(i imagine there's better setup for plotting i just don't know the stuff, it's all in the wiki)
with the granularity being controllable
well he's looking at occular trinket and rn its a downgrade for him, but he thinks if he had more haste then it might be a gain (something to do with procs sometimes making the eye buff shift off haste, which drops him below a breakpoint)
so i was hoping to just add 200 haste or whatever so even in the "bad" buff cases the haste is still "high enough"
probably easier to just do a gear compare with some insanely haste weighted ring from the raid in that case, or something, but it's very unlikely to shift the trinket majorly in any direction unless it changes it's 'normal' buff outside of procs
can we cloak jailer beam?
yeah
Cloak, shadowstep, venthyr, night fae can all dodge it
Anyone had good results with frost set and dashing scoundrel?
No matter how I change my sim, unholy still beats out frost ST
Ye it's goat
But I would not run it on aoe bosses it's too much energy and frost set sucks
Is anyone else's rank 2 frost set simming higher than rank 4 unholy without dashing? im so confused
Scoundrel on the nine felt like I was playing outlaw with the energy Regen lol
yepper
press buttons do dmg?
yea u mostly want to shadowstep jailor beam
ur poison crits generate energy
Raid wants to give DHs windfury because they've convinced raid that it's big for them.
Reeeee
it is
I suggested we all sim with and all without
not aggressive enough
easier fix, bench all the extra melee until they all fit in a wf group
Stats or Skirmish on chest?
When you guys select the shards in raidbots to sim, does it not allow you to sim? It makes me select select a piece of gear? am i a goober?
Leave guild and find one with less melee and a totem?
you have to have gear with dom sockets on it to sim shards...? i just click whatever shards i want and it sims them in all the gear 
You need a head for unholy set,shoulders for frost set and a chest for blood set
At least
And then you need at least 3 slots so you can put all three on
even tells me which shards it put in what gear which im p sure is totally irrelevant
i got a new dagger just now and it finally tipped me over whatever point made me go dashing+frost instead of doom+unholy 😩 i was celebrating not having to change...
do you guys lust at 45% on remnant?
its not
proc of a proc = 5% dps increase 
arms-havoc-outlaw
where do people get this information from
and how does it perpetuate
i don't understand
With demonblades its barely equal to ret
1.92%, huge
sims are fake!!
I mean when the guy says outlaw when rogue literally has another spec that relies more on autos idk
Max heard it from avade who is a pepega
and he is wrong
so just
no more need to spread something thats wrong
just peaked 25k dps burst on st....defuq they do to us? frost buff couldnt of been that big......
Just got lucky
hmmm
if im necrolord should i just roll venthyr these bonespike bugs are fucken triggering
only you can answer that my dude
ask yourself if you can do the 57 renown climb quickly enough
Really only have to grind like 40 if you didn’t do the campaign
the campaign itself is a grind imo
does anyone have a WA for winds of winter
yes the world first dh is pepega lol
I mean yea he can’t read sims
hasted trinkets are dynamic right? i.e. if I pop my shadowgrasp totem like a split second before a heroism it's not too big a deal.
Should be
are people using raidbots to sim their shards? whats the most efficient way to do this?
top gear and select the shards
Pick every shard at the bottom of the page (add socket items if you dont have them)
just got the fusion amp trinket, do we save for vendetta or just pop on CD??
on cd, very little buffs trinket damage anymore
On cd (in lust if it doesn’t lose you a cast)
true ty boys
I had my sim have the frost shard bonus be best without dashing scoundrel, does that sound right for other people? Thought the talk about frost was w/ dashing
If frost is better without dashing its probably even better with dashing
is it safe to upgrade the frost shards?
i can't make dashing for a week and still need the last frost shard so i'm gonna sit tight on unholy for a week and just hoard embers
i've been pretty hesitant to commit too big to upgrades so far anyways so what's one more week
haven't even made an r6 legendary yet
U can make dashing any time lol just farm it
fair but i don';t feel like doing 10 more torghasts this week
plus, like i said, i'll let the numbers and stuff settle a bit
its like 100 dps less with dashing, that's why I'm confused
Damn then idk
Is whispyr alive?
is raidbots not up to date? still simming frost well behind unholy there
Best with full gear
So uh, anyone having their vendetta pop randomly after the update? I haven't changed macros and I'm losing my mind
no but try dragging it off your bar and check the spellbook to see if it's says it's not bound
maybe it's on some key you're absent mindedly hitting that didn't used to do anything
sounds like you already checked your macros so that's my best guess
Will do, thank you
he's taking a break
hi guys, can someone help me out with my dps? I am not sure what i am doing wrong and it seems i am always parsing rather low
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/7aj9qP8fRvwZW26p/#fight=31&type=damage-done&source=20
are dom set sims out?
Higher Lego, Dom socket on helm, Oil instead of Stone, Phile over anything Thats some good basic set.
@steady glen raidbots doesn't look up to date
what
