ill ask a third time. Is there a reason my rank 3 frost is only simming 100dps less than rank 4? anyone know why that may happen?

spice spire
#

Post the sim

#

Because no lol

fathom flax
#

because mercury is in gatorade

idle star
#

all i did was compare rank 3 to rank 4 and it was a diff off 100dps

cobalt pelican
#

that's not a sim link

zinc frost
#

Glad I’m not the only one

lavish stag
#

did you select blood and unholy dmg gems aswell ?

cobalt pelican
#

might not be that f ar off reality though, i think r4 to r5 is like 280 or something

#

and idk how the r3 to r4 jump is cause they aren't linear gains

spice spire
#

What plode said essentially. Was going to check for any error in input but chances are it’s not wrong. I know the diff for me is pretty low currently. But my gear is dog

idle star
#

im running like 45% crit so it should be bigger gains.. man its dissapointing

drifting cloud
#

if I had to bet he forgot to select dyz so he has an empty socket or some shit

#

because linking the sim is hard, its easier to just describe it in great detail

drifting cloud
#

oh look your gloves are emtpy

#

who would have thought

cobalt pelican
#

lol

spice spire
#

Subterfuge monkaW

idle star
#

but they arent on my character tho...

cobalt pelican
#

do you not have dyz as a shard

#

or why are you using bek

#

in your normal gear even

harsh lantern
#

always more

idle star
#

omg this sim is all over the place...

drifting cloud
#

no you just dont know how to sim gems

sour wraith
#

!def

prisma monolithBOT
drifting cloud
#

well it also works a little dumb but you just need to understand how it works

idle star
#

can someone else sim for me? lolol

cobalt pelican
#

just click run again and click the blood shard you have lol

#

(and the dyz one you have if you actually have it)

drifting cloud
#

its +270 when you actually sim correct gems

cobalt pelican
#

oh i was wondering

drifting cloud
#

or wait my default overwrote your chest enchant aswell eh whatever

cobalt pelican
#

why my sim was showing 400

#

but you have double sinful in your equipped gear too

spice spire
#

I found a few changes

#

Still running because I’m an idiot that did t5 zzz

#

I probably scuffed tf out of it, mobile and in bedge. But normalizing most of it is quite a big change

idle star
#

what did you change??

#

cos i did it again and got just over 9k

spice spire
#

Talents, offhand

idle star
#

ah offhand to Sylv dagger

harsh lantern
#

41 embers for r5 frost already did normal raid

#

is it possible this week

idle star
#

no

cobalt pelican
#

um

#

i mean

#

depends what you have already

idle star
#

max you gonna get is 20 more im pre sure

cobalt pelican
#

but likely not

harsh lantern
#

ouch another week

#

so close

cobalt pelican
#

probably 2

harsh lantern
#

sadge

idle star
#

actually no, 28 more

harsh lantern
#

i have 9

idle star
#

cos of the non boss mobs dropping embers

harsh lantern
#

need 50 for last t5 upgradde

drifting cloud
#

well normal raid is 20, max you can get in a week is 61

cobalt pelican
#

oh you meant you need 41

drifting cloud
#

actually normal raid with trash is 30?

harsh lantern
#

yes

cobalt pelican
#

i see

drifting cloud
#

do they even give 2 on normal

#

fuck if I know

idle star
#

yes

harsh lantern
#

lastone :(((

idle star
#

normal = 2 heroic = 3 mythic = 4

drifting cloud
#

I meant the trash mobs but yeah same thing

#

do lfr trash boys also give 2 then

#

more than bosses? OMEGAKEKW

cobalt pelican
#

oh yeah that reminds me

#

lfr sylvanas tomorrow right

#

i'm goin in

spice spire
#

Also @idle star you don’t have nadjia as your soulbind FeelsWeirdestMan

Checking that rn

drifting cloud
#

you want daggy or what

#

just ping me at some demon evening hour when u do normal ill trade it to you if it drops

drifting cloud
#

cba about normal one

spice spire
#
  • even more
idle star
spice spire
#

Yes

cobalt pelican
#

will do

idle star
spice spire
#

Yes I’d assume it’s even an upgrade the . Lemme run again

fathom flax
#

you dont get any extra from trash on mythic so a full mythic clear only nets 10 more than heroiac

idle star
#

full heroic run is like 42 embers

#

there is 4 non boss mobs yeh?

#

or 5

harsh lantern
#

If that’s true ez r5 then

idle star
#

yeh but if you have ran normal already, subtract that

harsh lantern
#

ah nvm then lmao

idle star
#

lol

harsh lantern
#

Next week

spice spire
#

+431 from current setup

harsh lantern
#

Next week just like phial feelscryman

spice spire
#

So r4 is like +260ish

calm pawn
#

is it better to use flagellation of cd or always combine it with vendetta

spice spire
calm pawn
#

ty

hollow talon
#

did they update something on raidbots? my sim went down even though i got conduit upgrade and ilvl increase

#

this is from last week

#

this is from today

calm pawn
#

i think the shards its a lil bit rng so its not always going to sim the same

cobalt pelican
#

one has no flask for some reason

#

oh nvm i am dumb

#

not loading icons pepelaff

#

let's SEE

drifting cloud
#

could just be smart sim spazzing out

#

like it did for vels ring

lavish stag
#

one is smart sim one is stat weights

spice spire
hollow talon
#

is there usually a noticeable difference between the two kinds of sim

lavish stag
#

i know they should be same but i remember having inconsistancies between topgear and stat weights

#

could be here too

hollow talon
#

ill do a stat weight to check then

#

hmmm nope

#

statweight is still 30 dps off

balmy condor
#

but also like

hollow talon
#

i cant figure it out

balmy condor
#

why you be simming weekly

cobalt pelican
#

i didn't actively sim frost because i don't play it

#

but there was a change like 7 days ago to more cleanly seperate the stacking interval

#

koji said it'd have little to no impact but idk if little to no impact is within the 30 dps range

#

everything else looks fine, just ye running weekly build 7 days ago probably means a 14 day old build

hollow talon
#

it might be bigger than 30 cause i upped the ilvl of my braacer and got the 252 venthyr conduit

#

i guess just diff simc builds

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

the weekly last week didn't have the winds thing

#

so it's for sure that

#

nightly would've had the change btw

oak sky
#

Wait is that grom

balmy condor
#

yes

oak sky
#

Lol

spice spire
oak sky
#

That guy is a character

gusty mirage
hollow talon
#

is the default setting for simc weekly

#

i dont think i ever changed it

balmy condor
#

you 100% should

#

there's no reason to ever sim weekly

hollow river
#

@oak sky

#

you on/up?

#

oh he just said something

#

aotc with new guild and this

oak sky
#

Sheeeesh

hollow river
#

can't even believe dood

oak sky
#

Congrats friend

hollow river
#

ty

#

think trial is going well too so far

oak sky
#

Thats awesome

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

Its probably about time i found a new guild maybe ill apply to some this week

hollow river
loud silo
#

so like one in every 15 bone spikes, my bonespike will just flys past remnant and doesnt hit him

lavish stag
#

probably parry

warped kiln
drifting cloud
#

it beats it for sub

gusty mirage
#

In his defense it does say that it'll beat most 252s in the assa faq too

#

but yeah what ryler said, that's more true for sub than assa now

warped kiln
#

ok, so i guess i can trust the sim on that one right ?

gusty mirage
#

yeppers

warped kiln
#

ok boyz thanks 🙂 ❤️

drifting cloud
#

hmm for you its almost double the difference

gusty mirage
#

yeah my 233 edge beats all my 236/239 offhand options

severe sparrow
#

burn how much crit do i need before dashing sims higher than doom?

gusty mirage
#

However much raidbots tells you to have for it to sim better than unholy

#

just run your highest simming gear and change up the dom sockets and sim em

fleet anchor
severe sparrow
gusty mirage
#

you can sim both sets in top gear

severe sparrow
#

well yeah, but it just puts me in unholy/doom all the time cuz it's aparently a 100 something dps increase

gusty mirage
#

what's your ilvl?

idle star
#

im simming 9.4k with no access to Mythic raid

severe sparrow
#

242

gusty mirage
#

hm

#

what about your crit %?

severe sparrow
#

it's not where i want it

#

but that's where it be

gusty mirage
#

are you simming the sets at equal level? like r4 v r4 or simming what you actually have?

severe sparrow
#

i have them both at equal level

gusty mirage
#

ah you're necro

severe sparrow
#

ffs is that the key to all this? ive been trying to scrounge for crit where i can but 😩

drifting cloud
#

is trinket giving haste or crit to you?

#

but yeah as necro I assume crit must go beyond insane if you wanna do frost

#

you probably need fatescribe helm, better neck, 1 bettter ring

severe sparrow
#

yeah. was hoping for some drops tonight but nothing. not sure what the trinket gives me, never actually checked

#

ah trinket gives me haste

#

oh if i sim max level leggys and shards it goes to dashing tho

#

smh

sand sigil
#

interesting finding btw. i got both 239 SF and 239 wps. i lose 5st dps putting the sf in the empowered slot vs wps, but i gain 80 in 2t. basically identical st but decent aoe gain

#

idk if anyone else profile behave like that, i thought it'd be more of a dps loss on st but i guess not

idle star
#

Next week nadja enhances a potency slot boota

fallen arch
#

And dashing/doomblade sim really close. Doesn’t matter if I run like 35 or 45% crit

#

As necro

hollow river
#

man

#

first H sylv dagger

#

so i opened as outlaw

#

and got 252 wep

gusty mirage
#

spicy shoulders though

hollow river
#

i have 239 shoulders

#

and 226 fusion amp

#

but my outlaw MH is 213

#

and i wanna do outlaw keys again

fallen arch
#

Then take the weapon

#

That must be a huuge upgrade

hollow river
#

yeah

fallen arch
#

Dps wise

hollow river
#

i should be able to farm those other items

fallen arch
#

Exactly

hollow river
#

or take them another week in vault if they pop up

fallen arch
#

Weapon u might not see for ages at 252

hollow river
#

exactly

fallen arch
#

Shoulders do look nice tho

#

Crit haste

gusty mirage
sand sigil
soft shale
#

sf is bae for anything

hollow river
#

outlaw wep is like +400 dps just in ST

fallen arch
#

Huge

hollow river
#

yeah +550 in dslice

#

is it weird that my ST sims higher than my dslice? >_>

iron orchid
hollow river
#

yeah that's what i was thinking

#

but still kinda weird

fallen arch
#

It’s the set bonus

hollow river
#

yeah ik

#

still thought having some aoe in the sim would be higher

slow marsh
#

So who wants to go kleia sin for science

balmy condor
#

like these are from my sims earlier today

#

it's not even close

hollow river
#

O.o

#

That’s so insane lol

#

I’m used to last tier I guess since it was my first tier

#

Kinda crazy that sin is getting gapped in dslice like that now

#

Buff sin pls peophammer

balmy condor
#

sin's always gotten gapped in dslice

#

sin dslice just doesn't keep up

iron orchid
#

but I still play only sin ytho

hollow river
#

Make CT baseline and give us something that spreads dots faster

#

Idk I’m no expert, obviously

#

At least each class has their niche kinda. Besides outlaw this season

balmy condor
#

I mean I think sin performs better compared to what dslice would say

hollow river
#

Ah

hollow river
#

Sin cleave is also heaven

#

Compared to subs

balmy condor
#

but It's pretty hard to nail down why that is

iron orchid
#

I always overperform compared to my sims

balmy condor
#

I've spent many hours of my life trying to get sin dslice better

hollow river
#

o:

balmy condor
#

I'm out of ideas tbh

#

found like 2% over the last couple months

iron orchid
#

I guess it's mostly the dungeon covenant effects and specificities

balmy condor
#

but it's just nowhere near enough

#

but like it was bad in legion as well

#

and it was bad in bfa as well

#

I've basically chalked it up to dslice just not favoring sin as a sim type

slow marsh
#

Sin is just higher floor and lower ceiling compared to the other specs

#

It's a dot spec. That's how it be

balmy condor
slow marsh
#

Put dots up and keep them up, you're probs doing decently

#

Sims are sims and don't account for misplays that happen during fights. It will play whatever it is perfectly according to the apl

#

It's hard to optimize a spec and attempt to push past it's ceiling when it's ultimately limited in what it can do like sin is

worldly condor
#

What specifically makes EP/Vigor better than Blindside/deep strat?

hollow river
#

All their dots are instant and spender just does big dam based on how many dots u have out

#

Plus they’re ranged kekw

slow marsh
hollow river
#

We have to dodge shit in melee, build resource just to dot etc

worldly condor
#

ive just noticed all top parses are EP/Vig. over 90%

cursive silo
#

Nah fight timings and uptime can make EP/Vigor better

hollow river
slow marsh
#

Then play ep vig idk

#

Like you asked I answered idk what you want

worldly condor
#

Guardian is 77% Ep/Vig

cursive silo
#

Becuz people don’t care lmao

hollow river
#

Probably just people being too lazy to switch tbh

cursive silo
#

Ep vig probably better for the boss just before and the boss right after so Id see why people don’t swap talents

hollow river
#

Yeah I mean

#

People are blasting over 10k dps now

#

A small change of dps like those talents

#

Isn’t a big deal

slow marsh
#

EP is better when there are adds and there's a lot of fights with random adds you can use to pad your parse with

hollow river
#

I need someone to teach me they way of the parse kekw

cursive silo
#

Press buttons harder

carmine dawn
#

Be in a speed kill guild

hollow river
#

Nah I feel like that makes parses suffer tbh

#

Depending on CD usage

cursive silo
#

No lol

slow marsh
#

No it doesn't

hollow river
#

Look ik

#

Don’t @ me ok

#

But if boss dies right before my CDs come back up again

#

P sure dps will be lower than if I got them off

carmine dawn
#

Less time to kill means higher damage per second cause there’s less seconds

hollow river
#

And then boss died

cursive silo
#

Yea

#

But if boss died 2 min faster

hollow river
#

Because higher average

cursive silo
#

Youd have had moredps too

hollow river
#

Ye

#

Ofc

#

I mean we’re killing heroic bosses atm

#

I’m just over 3 min on some of them

cursive silo
#

Never lucky

hollow river
#

But 2:30ish and 4:30ish

#

Are the sweet spot I feel like

#

Compared to 3:30ish

carmine dawn
#

Do people do heroic parse runs?

cursive silo
#

Obviously

hollow river
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cursive silo
#

Best kill timer is just after your 2nd cds lol

hollow river
cursive silo
#

They sure do

rotund oak
#

Kyrian dashing higher than necro 😂

#

idk why ive bounced to necro anymore

hollow river
#

Alt/helping guildies get aotc/getting raiders last of their gems/sockets

cursive silo
#

Even after that

hollow river
#

That’s nutty

cursive silo
#

People do for fun heroic clears

slow marsh
hollow river
#

Lmaoooooo

carmine dawn
#

Most people parse on boosts tho to be fair

#

Heroic wise

slow marsh
#

There's a reason ceverion is #1 heroic

hollow river
#

Parsing on a boost

#

How’s that work

#

More dam for u to do

carmine dawn
#

Cause it’s heroic

#

And it doesn’t matter

hollow river
#

With boosters present?

cursive silo
#

Boss easy as fuck so you pad

#

Do big parse

slow marsh
#

You're not there for gear so you may as well parse

hollow river
#

What about normal

carmine dawn
#

Mythic parsing is just a totally different game than anything

cursive silo
#

Not really lol

carmine dawn
#

Raidmasters kind of shows a cool glimpse into it

slow marsh
#

Do people buy normal boosts

cursive silo
#

People got mythic on farm after a while just like heroic

carmine dawn
#

Yeah but speedkilling is different I mean

cursive silo
#

Not really

#

Theres always some speed strats on bosses

#

With gear

rotund oak
#

ofc they do,most likely undergeared alts farming those cinders

fleet anchor
#

People use Heroic as an outlet for pushing numbers while Mythic is still in prog mode or quick/clean farm, but eventually do the same shit in deep Mythic farm lol

sterile ocean
#

how much crit do i want for assassin just outta curiosidy

reef axle
#

40+ if you’re running dashing frost set

sterile ocean
#

i have 36% and i have obidence

reef axle
#

Should be fine

sterile ocean
#

i also assume same with haste? like as much as i can

edgy pawn
#

just sim yourself

shadow tusk
#

Sim it

#

Can change real Quick

sterile ocean
#

im not asking like on gear im talking in general cause i thought were supposed to have atleast 30%

shadow tusk
#

There isnt really any breakpoints

#

Its not as simple as stack haste untill ur hat falls off

#

Only thing to look out for is having High crit with Frost set which is like 35% +

sterile ocean
#

oh i got the unholy set on

#

atm

pale plank
#

Is it easier to flex between sin/outlaw or Sin/sub?

sterile ocean
#

sin and sub

shadow tusk
#

Playstylewise?

sterile ocean
#

cause they both use daggers

iron orchid
pale plank
#

Mainly stat wise, Bcz I am fully committed with crit and dashing frost

iron orchid
#

well with a crit build, i guess sub is easier to transition to

#

iirc outlaw is haste/vers then crit or sth

fallen arch
#

Is there a way to see in logs what powers someone ran on Tarragrue?

pale plank
#

Hmm… I guess I gotta do some sub research the, yea it’s kinda hard to get other stats when I am already like 40%+ in crit

slow marsh
#

Sub doesn't mind mastery but sin doesn't like it at all

fallen arch
slow marsh
#

You could run the same exact gear set for outlaw and sin with frost and be pretty optimal. Sub not so much cuz the haste

#

Yeah for keys true

fallen arch
#

Its pretty bad for st tho

#

Luckily there’s many multi target encounters so secondarys are kinda w/e outside of crit as far as I’m concerned

slow marsh
#

I mean you can one trick any of the three specs right now and still be optimal so it doesn't super matter anyways

fallen arch
#

Ye exactly

#

Have the feeling we get way to caught up in secondaries atm for really minimal gains

slow marsh
#

Tbh I love it. I'm learning outlaw right now just because, but knowing I can just play one spec for all content and not just be competitive but be optimal is a good feeling

pale plank
#

I was just aiming for a other outlaw or sub that I can switch on using my same dashing frost sin for mythic

slow marsh
pale plank
#

Minimal gear change is what I am looking for

iron orchid
slow marsh
#

Yep outlaw is using frost too

pale plank
#

If outlaw is frost too than that would make it lots easier for me since my other gems are pretty low rank

slow marsh
#

Same idea as sin except a lot of our crits are coming from bleeds poisons whereas they are high apm with a crit booster built in

#

I'm going sin/law right now. Sub goes frost but at way higher gear than both other specs. They are more comfy with blood atm so it would throw things off for sure for multispec

iron orchid
#

I've been doing only sin for a few weeks now, i'm not aware of changes to the other specs after the shards buffs

#

but I'm having so much fun as sin

slow marsh
#

Yeah same I'm progging as sin and experimenting in heroic/normal

#

But ye they are all 3 in a great spot so it's a good time to just one trick something until you know it in and out

shadow tusk
#

Tbh u Can do pretty much whatever u want with rogue atm

#

I played all 3 specs for painsmith prog so far

gusty adder
# reef axle 40+ if you’re running dashing frost set

I just cant seem to get this out on top. At 40% crit, r3 frost and 235 dashing, but simming lower than UH R4, doomblade. Guessing Ill have to wait for R4 frost and 262 dashing, but im kinda committing for small gains atm it seems. Am necro btw

slow marsh
#

You can sim with r4 frost and see

#

But yeah 235 leggo usually means low ilvl which means uh is better for the flat stats

gusty adder
#

Ye, not at home right now, but afaik my last sims were very close with R4 frost and doomblade still came out on top

#

Am 243 eqq tho

#

Obv. Lower with 235 dashing

reef axle
#

Dashing only starts seeing value at r4 or higher. From my experience anyway

slow marsh
#

It honestly just depends on your gear. The 40% crit isn't even that accurate it's just something that people started saying as a short answer

gusty adder
#

Alright. Guess ill have to hold on and believe. Still 55 embers off rank 4 frost (spent 50 embers on the blood DPS shard 1st week kekw)

slow marsh
#

For some people blood is the play for their current setup. It just be like that

#

Sim yourself and slot in some stuff that is easily attainable to feel it out if you really care about future proofing

odd python
#

can sm1 link me necro assa rogue that sims ~10k (243-246 ilvl range)

#

mine seems low

slow marsh
#

Seems about right

#

You have ep/vig and CT

odd python
#

im running CT

#

ep.vigor isnt the play now ?

#

ep/vigor *

slow marsh
#

It's fine

odd python
#

CT is mistake

north pecan
#

Try BS/DS & Poison Bomb - not CT for Single target

odd python
#

bs/ds is literally 2 dps gain

#

and spec is clunkier to play

#

Should i maybe craft 262 dashing

#

i've heard its the play now

slow marsh
#

I would probably worry about getting ksm then getting the other 2 Dom pieces

odd python
#

ksm ?

iron orchid
#

keystone master

#

2k score

slow marsh
#

Your rings D=

odd python
#

sadly, those seem to be simming the best

velvet nacelle
#

i just realized that despite doing at least 1 15 every week, 4 some, i've only pulled one 252 from my gv

slow marsh
#

Dom slots be like that

zealous marsh
#

Leeching poison peepochrist

slow marsh
#

Look through this, bunch of options for you

tacit wedge
slow tulip
cobalt hemlock
#

hey guys sorry to bother but i was doing volunteer work for past 2 weeks could anyone quickly explain why dashing is the best now? i would greatly appreciate

tacit wedge
#

More crit=more frost dammy

#

And dashing=more crit

clear shadow
#

anyone know if u can get sylv dagger from 4 mythic dungeons weekly this week

tacit wedge
#

No

zealous marsh
odd python
#

eh.. back to venthyr next week i guess

oak sky
#

I'm pretty sure you can get a sylvanas dagger from the weekly tho

gloomy rose
#

why wouldnt you be able to, as long as you killed sylvanas at least once

oak sky
#

i think it actually doesnt matter if you killed her or not, at least that's what ive heard

shadow tusk
#

For vault it matters probably not for quest

oak sky
#

yeah

gloomy rose
#

ohh you mean the weekly quest, nevermind I was confused

tribal mauve
arctic cloud
#

My vault is so scuffed this week that the biggest upgrade is totem trinket.

#

Isn’t it a sim trap though at 252?

verbal mantle
#

shadowgrasp totem?

#

it's a very good trinket

arctic cloud
#

I was always under the impression it’s a sim trap

iron orchid
#

easy to use

verbal mantle
#

It wasnt simming properly until recently iirc, but it's a very good trinket

#

give it a try

arctic cloud
#

Well it’s either that or I take the mists neck t 252 but it’s not enough crit

verbal mantle
#

just sim

arctic cloud
#

I did.

#

4Head

verbal mantle
#

then trust the robot

formal lichen
#

Heya sorry to bother, but, Zoldyk Insignia, secondary stats: crit/haste? (I'm doin m+ mostly)

zinc frost
#

Crit/haste or crit/mast

#

Either is fine

formal lichen
#

Cool, mastery seems easy to obtain on the Gear, haste not so much..so Will Go crit haste, thanks m8 :)

final tree
#

any faq about the use of fusion amplifier? im assuming sync it with vend?

oak sky
#

use it on cd

#

vendetta doesnt affect it

verbal mantle
#

slam it on cd just like shiv

half tartan
#

Is deathly shadows pre fight worth for sin? Or is The vanish on opener better generally

zinc frost
#

Doesn’t work for sin

arctic walrus
#

No

pseudo hamlet
verbal mantle
#

which is literally on CD

#

like advised

shut flame
#

Dont get why top-rio sin rogues running heirmir in m+, as marileth sims higher in dslice. Whats the difference in playstyle for them? Marileth is more ST oriented?

thanks a lot!

soft shale
#

marileth does more damage because you have perma uptime on 120 mastery

#

and on most dungeons 2% agi

#

then extra dmg on kevin use

#

that has high uptime because the way sbs works

shut flame
#

Yes, the reason why its higher is clear, I dont get why ppl dont run it

soft shale
#

also 10% dmg on hitting not damage enemy

#

as it has been seen many times

#

top rio does not mean they are running the best things

#

they play what they like/want

shut flame
#

Hence my question - what is the diff in playstyle for them. I mean, m+ playstyle is always the same for sin

drowsy parcel
#

no real difference

#

bonesmith has gemstone windows

#

marileth has kevin windows (sync with vendetta etc)

shut flame
#

And kevin sometimes pulls trash, like when if you are sapping someone - pulled this way in mots

quaint carbon
#

Is there a way to find how much % increase the dps shard do in m+ ?

#

In sim*

zinc frost
#

Just sim dungeon slice, no set bonus, choose the dps shards you want and see the difference.

#

Will need dom sockets tho

oak sky
#

a little more crit and frost is gonna pull ahead for me peepohappy

weary marten
#

hey guys, i finaly got HC shoulders with domination slot ! I'm looking forward frost build but doesn't simc higher than blood currently. Too low crit ?

oak sky
#

could be low crit or low ilvl in general

weary marten
#

235ish

#

24% crit in game. 466 score, yeah that's kinda low

oak sky
#

another thing would be frost set level but idk what level u have it at

weary marten
#

i simmed it at max level

#

just to check it

oak sky
#

gotcha

#

when you get more gear even with low crit frost starts simming better

#

i have 27% rn because i cant find any but im 242 ilvl and frost is like 30 dps down

#

just keep getting ilvl and crit pieces

weary marten
#

i play sub basically but i've them both in 40 dps range now

#

dunno if i should totally switch to assa 🤔

oak sky
#

thats up to you

#

both specs are really strong

weary marten
#

is dashing scoundrel the go to for assa ONLY in frost ?

#

or all builds ?

gloomy rose
#

only if you have frost set and even then it doesn't have to always be the choice

#

for me as necro at rank 3 frost set I still use doomblade with vigor and ep, dashing with bs and ds sims only 2 dps higher

weary marten
#

wow that's pretty close yeah

oak sky
#

dashing should be the one you generally use atm

#

but doomblade is still good if you have it and it sims higher

weary marten
#

how is assa in dungeon ? i tried one it seemed so much weaker than sub

oak sky
#

its good but not better than sub or outlaw

wanton comet
#

I find it more fun tbf 🙂

primal elm
#

Guys phial 252 or sylv dagger heroic

weary marten
#

still playing zoldyck in dungeon ?

oak sky
#

obedience can be good as venthyr but zoldyck is the normal go to

gloomy rose
#

I would get the phial just for the reason that you cant get that ilvl anywhere else

fallen arch
#

depends

silk valley
brave reef
#

i would go phial. who knows when it shows up in vault again

primal elm
#

Yeah that what i was thinking xD

oak sky
#

phial is probably better since you won't ever replace it

#

dagger if you do mythic can get replaced

last stirrup
#

Hey guys.. Is this shit cause it occupies a dom socket slot or is it good? Since i can still run 4xShards, frost bonus and all that could it be worth? rest of vault is hot garbage (or alrdy obtained)

#

I do not have a dom chest yet so for the moment it's def a big upgrade

oak sky
#

seems like its up to you man

#

you'll probably swap to a socket chest anyway but its probably good until then

last stirrup
#

Yeah frick it i'll go for the chest. The nice one is from sylvanas so might take a little while to get it

oak sky
#

i mean if you dont its vault research right?

#

better this than no loot

last stirrup
#

There's a small ilvl upgrade of a ring i've got aswell

oak sky
#

if the ring sims higher you should probably just grab that

#

but it probably doesnt

bleak sun
#

What is the weekly évent mates ?

last stirrup
#

nah, no way my chest is really bad

oak sky
#

on the other hand you could greed if you havent done heroic yet and wait until you see what loot you get

devout spire
#

Whispyr it seems lile you simmed wrong neck on necro sims, you used tarragrue neck at 259 ilvl (low haste/high mastery)

balmy condor
#

Probably won’t change much but thanks I’ll take a look tomorrow

eternal turtle
#

can we get 63 renown this week

wooden crag
#

no up to 62

eternal turtle
#

will it be every week +2 now?

balmy condor
#

Yep

civic trellis
#

@limber lion hey do you have frost set?

alpine garden
#

252 crit neck today, up to 38% ohyes

proper eagle
#

how do my stats look for m+, i feel i may have to much crit ? but im unsure

limber lion
#

Sim yourself in top gear.

#

Definitely not too much crit

proper eagle
#

im doing that as we speak just wanted opinions while i waited lol

civic trellis
dim temple
#

as frost shards whats best Dashing Scoundrel or doomblade?

limber lion
civic trellis
#

Damn

#

I have the punching bag

#

But dunno if it behaves like a dummy

#

Armor etc

gloomy rose
#

the frost set is so good, the sustain it adds is insane

#

like you can really feel being beefier during the boss fights

fallen arch
#

Omegahealing parses too

slim geyser
#

how do you cast crimson tempest in aoe ? after i get 3 ruptures up i usually just spam fan->ct, but should i wait until ct ticks of before recasting it ? i'm talking 6+ mobs

fallen arch
#

Don’t spam ct

#

On 6 mobs you apply and reapply the dot

#

In between you garr and rup em

fervent rune
#

Get CT up first

#

You cast CT before snd if I remember correctly

slim geyser
#

well yea, ct->3xrupture->spam ct, is what i was doing, cuz with 3 ruptures it;s already really hard to spend all the energy

#

and mobs are starting to die, casting rupture on 25% hp target feels bad

fervent rune
#

I usually just dump a couple envenoms and refresh my snd for next pull

civic trellis
#

iirc you want to SnD first

#

then garrote& rupture 1 mob, Ct

#

then normal aoe rota

dry chasm
#

can someone remind me the addon for rogue for the combo points buffs?

#

the weak auras i mean

civic trellis
#

with subterfurge you want to spread up garrotes then snd

slim geyser
#

sure, i wasn't talking about the start of the rotation, just when you get into pure aoe

#

i go 4x garotte from stealth, snd, ct, 3x rupture then just spam fan and ct untill my ruptures start falling off

#

and i'm not sure how right it is

civic trellis
fallen arch
#

And again you dont ever spam ct

#

Also apply the first ct before snd and make sure to always have it up before packs the rest of the dungeon

#

Use shiv and vendetta on cd

#

And make aure you envenom to maintain snd

slim geyser
#

ok, thx for the help

fallen arch
#

And use vanish on cd to reapply empowered garrotes, let’s not forget

jaunty hill
#

I am in the position of Creating my 2nd Max rank legendary. Dashing or Doomblade? What are you guys using? I ran with Obidience for the most time.

shadow tusk
#

Do you run Frost set

jaunty hill
fallen arch
#

Nobody other than you can make that decision

#

What covenant? Current gear? Current stats? Preferred content? Access to content?

shadow tusk
#

If ur venthyr most likely dashing if ur necro most likely doom but it’d sim Them

jaunty hill
#

Well I do ask with one you guys use not wich I should use. I definitly should use Dashing but I feel like this is a niche wich only works for now

shadow tusk
#

Ive Been using doom so far with t4 Frost but im swapping to dashing today

#

As venthyr

jaunty hill
#

I might craft dashing too and hope it will stay stable so I do not have to switch around until I have enough Soul stuff for leggy 3

jaunty hill
carmine dawn
#

Just do dashing fuck it

#

No one can see the future

fallen arch
#

What would make it unstable?

#

I don't see any buffs/nerfs to either db or dashing coming soon

carmine dawn
#

It’s not getting nerfed this late

jaunty hill
#

Yeah I probably will craft Dashing

#

Sims told me, you told me. I should be fine ❤️

carmine dawn
#

235 dashing sims higher than my 262 doom

#

But 40 dps isn’t the reason we’re wiping on prog

worthy cliff
#

Players leaving wow for the harassment?

fallow estuary
#

Am i missing something?

#

Why is necro so much stronger than venth for me

burnt star
#

Ur necro has an empowered conduit btw on a potency

fallow estuary
#

Yea but thats only 30dps

limber lion
#

You should be simming with Lashing Scars.

burnt star
#

And that^

fallow estuary
#

Ah, i'll retry

burnt star
#

Lashing scar is our best conduit

#

Also. If u do this mostly for raiding. I would sim with ep/vigor

hollow river
#

Hey Cev, from a prog stand point, you think EP-Vig-PB is better for every fight right?

limber lion
#

Not every fight

#

But yeah, most fights.

burnt star
#

As we dont really use bs/ds. Except foe gardian (and maybe remnant)

hollow river
#

Oh

#

Thought I remembered you saying every fight

#

Maybe you said most kekw

limber lion
#

Definitely not

#

We do not run PB every fight

burnt star
#

Did u try bs/ds cev on wvery fight

hollow river
#

O:

fallow estuary
hollow river
#

Which fights would you run CT?

burnt star
#

I think i saw u write u would try this next reset

limber lion
#

Yeh, I'll try it this reset with my new legendary and whatnot

hollow river
#

I usually just play Sub on fights with add waves

#

But I’m trialing with a mythic guild

#

And Sin is definitely safer

burnt star
#

I tried in heroic with my fellow rogue who do usualy similar damage. And it wasnt conclusive.

hollow river
#

You run CT on soulrender/Fatescribe? Or which bosses

limber lion
#

Soulrender, Fatescribe and KT at least.

hollow river
#

Kk I actually didn’t go to phylactory on my reclear heroic last night

#

I played PB upstairs kekw

#

I still did good dam just spreading rupts around on stuff for energy

#

CT would’ve banged tho

#

Thanks sir Comfy

burnt star
#

On heroic. It could be a hit or miss.. if the add stay alive forever. Thats good

#

In my group they get nuked

hollow river
#

U can still use like 3cp ruptures on them

#

Because u will get energy regen even after the add dies

#

For whatever the duration was left

#

I used FoK on the ice spikes, and the little adds to spread poisons. And on the big adds after he dies each phase

#

I was energy saturated for a lot of the fight lol.

hmm idk I’m pretty similar but 235 dashing beats my 262 doomblade

U DO pool a bit before flag

Right?

rest of time we go for vigor ?

hollow river
#

Not gonna make a big diff but I think u do pool

weary marten
#

vigor / EP ?

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

I full send my first flag to get it on CD and end up with about 24ish stacks

hollow river
#

Same

weary marten
#

that's probably cuz of vigor, i starve energy quick with DS

gusty mirage
#

But yeah for others you’d pool a bit so you don’t get like 17 stacks and be sad

deft obsidian
#

28 stack dream a few times on painsmith opener last week, felt subbish 😂

Gotta love the huge crit. Nothing worse with the old unholy build getting zip crits in openers 😭

#

You probably have a bunch of crit which synergizes well with scoundrel

hushed timber
#

Doomblade still simming higher for me even though venthyr nadjia

#

But I'm still rank 4 unholy

#

I guess frost would change that?

hollow river

That’s prolly why, unholy

Hey i got a Question: Is the Sylvanas Dagger on 233 in Offhand always the pick? because Raidbots says i should use my 236m+ Dagger over the Sylvanas one and i´m not sure if i should trust it XD

It is safe to trust the robot

U should

#

233 edge of night is shit

hushed timber

Unless you play sub

burnt star
#

For us

gusty mirage
burnt star
#

On a 5 min fight it dis like 180 dps

#

According to my aim weight. A 236 dagger stat would have given me 180 dpa

#

Thats only with secondary stat

spice spire
burnt star
#

Tldr: It doesnt really so a lot of damage*

spice spire
#

Higher than 32 monkaW

burnt star
#

My sims tells me to equip 45%...

#

So i have 45

#

But even with that. It wasnt until i had 262 dashing that it put it ahead of doomblade

#

With ep/vig. Doomblade at 262> daahing 235

#

And. Dashing 262>obedience 262> doomblade 262

hushed timber
#

I don't know how to get more crit, I've got Decanter + crit major on most of my stuff, if not major then crit secondary + sockets on everything that can take sockets and only get to 41

Meanwhile my rogue is broken and dashing frost outsim doom unholy despite both being r4+having 31% crit

ohh nice ill try it with my 30% just gotta get r6 dashing soon

Finally got my KT shoulders last night. It's from normal, but it was a bigger upgrade than my vault was so I'm excited.

I guess we truly never know what the endgame is kek

damn that ring tho

Yeah - I wasn't flexxing damage I was just showing how close DS and Obe are

I feel like I will be simming way past 9k at ur ilvl

#

Just what I feel like

alpine latch
#

Obe/DS/Doomblade is within like 45 DPS for me

#

You have 4 Dom sockets, so right now you probably will be lol

#

I only have 3 Dom sockets and I haven't even gotten a m+ dagger to drop for me, so gear wise I'm behind

arctic venture
#

to upgrade de shard you have to unsocket it and upgrade?

Yes.

#

Yeah, optimizing your character without playing multiple game modes is impossible. It's one of my gripes about the game (and I understand you don't HAVE to optimize). I just look back and Conflict and Strife from BFA being BiS for so many DPS specs

#

If you're even somewhat m+ geared, you can join a guilds alt run on Normal. They usually fly through Normal

#

You won't get a full clear in an hour but you'd probably get 4-5 bosses

#

Usually Tuesday/Wednesday nights are good to join a guild who's missing a DPS or two and Saturday/Sunday nights for alt runs on guilds

#

Pop in when you can, leave when you need to

they need badluck currency, if you dont get anything in the vault give us 10 coins of pepe, and a vendor where we can buy any 252 item off it for 50 coins, 5 weeks of bad luck becomes working towards a goal
