Like I said before tho
U suck uwutang noober
:D maybe, sounds like it's just on the very edge before it turns into a full flame-fest though so I'd rather not deal with that.

"I can play outlaw"

LMAO
I'm done with that
Alright boys, I'm cutting it here.
Outch
Instant classic
I'm done dw, but he shouldn't ping me at random about something that's a week old
Feel free to contact me if you feel offended by me cutting the flame-festival short.
At a time the conversation was interesting but it's juste going into full trolling
So, any assa gamers in the chat?
Yeah sure ^^
I played it once in bod
Same
r5 frost huge
will be next week for me T_T
Same r5 next week gonna be nice

This week *
how bad were the frost nerfs btw?
If me progressing SLG on Outlaw makes me an Outlaw gamer, then sure! 
Not bad for us and it wasn't a nerf

Stop watching infexious
There hasn't been any frost nerfs
dont tell me there's a nerf lol already two weeks behind catching up on frost
my heart
I missed crucible completely :( it seemed like an awful fight ngl
such a shit raid
I only did cabal mythic
was it a nerf for outlaw @limber lion
It has not been touched whatsoever for any spec or anything.
The sims were just oversimming, that's all.
and our spriest suiciding cuz he got dispelled
Nothing has changed in-game.
I did it on normal then took a break until EP came out 
I was like nope
oh no
not today satan
oh i heard something about reducing frost proc dmg with ghostly strike or something like that
Are you still raiding with the same guild?
It's not nerfed. Ghostly was incorrectly increasing frost dam on sims
Yeh, a lot of guilds died on TEP
I progressed it with 2 guilds and they both disbanded.
Other one during Orgozoa, second one during Za'qul
Never killed Azshara :(
I enjoyed it cuz I actually played the tier the most probably
Unluckers
Method was already destroyed
so quit the game
joined a guild with CE last week of tier and got it š
Yeah, I enjoyed TEP as well honestly, the raiding environment in the guild was just super awful so it wasn't fun
i wish you could legit report channels for false information
The tier in itself was great though imo
still counts 
Queen's Court was non-ironically a really, really fun assa fight
Like one of the most fun fights in a while.
7/8 bosses were quite fun
ok my bad so it was just a desync between sims and actual gameplay @slow marsh ? the actual in game values just correctly presented now?
Yeah same. It's pretty bad for sure
yea
Correct
Was like
20th to kill or some shit was a big meme at the time
cuz Zine got benched

Wait so is method my new favorite guild cuz daddy Cev ?
it's fine
Certain streamers
had it in their titles
that it got nerfed
I need to start practicing my outlaw just in case it's gonna skyrocket to new heights in 9.2
š
I hate this entire post. But yes - Cev is a method gamer
Cev's my favorite guild
Until it dies 
I don't cheer on guilds, I cheer on one man
True
who may or may not be part robot
Yeah cyborg at a minimum for sure
Fingers crossed rogue does well in 9.2 so I actually get to play the game.
Claims heās built diff but standard robot 
Assa bis rogue spec in 9.2 

Never know
Need more buffs to scale 
you kinda know
What kind of BP next tier will do for us
No way rogue gets nerfed cuz we are Perma ignored
we only get pvp nerfed
??? Entirety of sl beta disagrees with that
cuz people qq about dying to the invisible boogieman
Wait we aren't still in beta rn ?
Kek
if you need a phial funneller I got you 
Sbs works finally, sort of, so we out?
wdym I was told 9.1 was a fully polished patch when it came out

I stand by subt being confused for the spec not talent. It's 9 am no coffee and I didn't realize not taking subterfuge was an option. And I'm dumb. Couldn't play demo for a reason.
Actually toxic bud
Speaking of ER I need to get a sim of theotar with only 20% umbrella uptime and haste or crit buffs only
don't ping me at random in the spec channel of a spec I don't play bringing up a week-old argument then?
Ah yes, echoing reprimand also reminds me of theotar

@slow marsh I miss your Archer pfp
Please don't bring this up to the table again -_-
No it's because I'm trying to see if I want to go kyrian
Assa Kyrian ? oo
You mean peter parker š
God no
yes
If envenoms actual damage wasn't so bad maybe, but it would feel better than sub kyrian with shadow tech ffs
I'm glad Kyrian is bad
Even with a decent timer and intuition on it, feels like garbage to lose the finisher to a shadow tech proc
I'm not the biggest fan of the owl nor the covenant ability
Venthyr feel so good to me š
I want soulshape :(
:()
it's beacause they are blue ?
Cev are you playing ep vigor on mythic on all fights? Even shit like guardian?
Are your bluecist ?
Owl good
I think its just cause ER sucks balls
yoo-hoo thats a bad take
Id rather play er than owl.
Kleia is actually better than bonersmith
Kyrian potion is good to bypass certain mechanics tough
Owl so good for cheesing though
No
Oh owl fine then
Owl obnoxious
Guardian is the only one where I might change. But then again my best parse on heroic Guardian was with EP/Vig. I'll definitely use BS/DS with Dashing on our mythic reclear today and we'll see how it does.
Flute toy?
Nah you can make the owl play a song
Spotify?
I've only killed Guardian like twice on Mythic thus far, so I'm not entirely sure what's best. But BS/DS with Dashing definitely makes the most sense.
I regularly get 28 stacks of flag with BS procs
Idk I've never really had issues running bs Ds outside of obvious add fights
Since it's meant to accelerate the cycle , i'm not surprised
but it feel so sluggish :/
It feels more weird to me playing with 5cp now vs 6
If you don't get procs it's for sure feels bad
and i've the feeling that it kills my burst
I'm just more of an rng guy if the % is favorable at all
Pooling is the most fun part of sin :/
If you follow normal pooling rules and then get a proc with Blindside, you're bound to cap energy slightly
So you gotta play a bit around it
It's not too bad honestly but idk
Yeah but it does end up playing faster in general
I don't care about faster or slower gameplay personally.
I just play whatever does more dps for me.
Theoretically the play is faster with less cp and more energy though, to ice's question
Not when flag exists
BS/DS is actually higher APM than EP/Vig
Can't imagine BS offsets that except maybe under 30%
You can sim it yourself and go look at the apm
I forget what whisp said it came out to be but it's pretty decent increase in apm
It's like 1-3 APM higher with BS
BS would be bis if procced ambush were out of GCD
Probably even more with Dashing
Maybe I'm smoothbrain but sin feels faster or slower to me based on how many finishers I get out, not relatively minor changes in overall apm.
I mean yeah but more cp is more finishers
Moreso than more energy
Hence why we stack crit over haste
Even before frost
Are you hitting envenom more with bsds than EP vigor? That seems intuitively wrong to me but I haven't checked the facts
Dumb question Iām a bit confused by the concept of pooling, what exactly do I do during that time? Just afk?
Make sure you're behind the boss and auto attacking, but yeah basically.
Assuming you have max CP and low energy
Started trying out assa and ideally I have 5 CP going into shiv with full energy (ive heard having full CPs isnt a huge deal)
sorta just slow your roll, I set a shiv timer on my energy bar, sends me a sound when I should start pooling and what energy I want to be at when shiv comes off cooldown
What energy do you want to be at for shiv?
I am actually curious if it's better to pool at 5 and env>shiv, or pool at 3 and shiv>env
All that being said if you are new to sin I wouldn't bother with pooling. It's a minor dps increase and you have like 4 other things to prio learning before pooling imo
Yep I have that question too
Gut says latter. But I wouldn't trust my own gut.
pool to 4/5 cp, shiv, env, try and get 3 env in the window is what I have been doing
If you pull to 4/5 yoy envenom first then shiv?
You don't care about overcap with shiv
if you get to 4 hold at 4 if you happen to get to 5, ignore the cp from shiv
So you def always envenom AFTER shiv
Does anyone know Necrolord assa stat prio for raid?
Regardless of CPs?
if you are waiting for a long time or capping energy before shiv is off cooldown, you are pooling too early
Yes but never hold shiv
Yea makes sense
So if shiv is up you press regardless of cp
And try your best to not have to garrote or rupture in shiv window
Right but if you are prepping it
@limber lion DS or Vig for Mm+ ?
ABS, always be shivvin'
Like I said
Ideally you shiv into envenom but it's not a big deal
Always Vigor.
I assume its better to get to 3 CPs no?
K thanks š
Or again doesnāt matter there?
As long as you're not overcapping energy sure
Incorrect.
You follow the normal cp rules.
You always finish at max-1 or max, EXCEPT for the very first Slice n Dice cast.
If you know your Shiv is coming off cooldown, you should be building to 3 ideally and then use Shiv right when it comes off cooldown and Envenom after
If this does not happen and you have to Shiv at 0cp, then so be it
I think he was just asking if he should use shiv regardless of the cp he has
Then you just Mutilate ot max-1
I thibk you misunderstood, I mena pool to 3 CPs (at the same time a pooling energy for Shiv) and then shiv
Yes, you do that
But you literally said
"So you should Envenom after shiv regardless of cp"
which is just incorrect
.
Ohh yea bad wording I see
Ok so how many of you
You might have to Mutilate after Shiv or even garrote.
Have been slammed for playing sin in m+
But yeah, just slam shiv.
It was under the assumption that you're at 3-5 cp already tho I think
I just got KSM as Sin in m+ its fine
it may not be 'the best' but its not terrible
As long as you don't overcap energy, you're fine.
I still often top the group overall dps
If you're going to overcap, then you use Envenom followed by Shiv.
Yea this
All good haha
I don't do that
Getting multiple Mutilate casts during the MA window is actually more beneficial than 2 Envenoms.
Ye
Ahh interesting
Especially when using Flagellation
Kyrian here š¦
You want to maximize your CP generation and using Env - Muti - Env is just a slight waste in terms of CP.
@limber lion do you use a WA to track the frost set?
Kyrian sin 
Ooooo
Can I bother you for a link? :3
But I don't play around it whatsoever, it's just to see how big hits I get

Sure, I'll link it on bnet
ā¤ļø

I'm not making raid this weekend so I might do it rn actually
Iām on ele sham main so I wanted to test stuff but couldnāt bc didnt want to troll raid
Iām not mocking just never thought Iād see the day

I just have a hunch that kyrian could have better consistency vs venth due to rng soul bind stuff

Heās also last
Oh wait
Which one are you?
Raiding as kyrian with kleia is a weird experience
But quite fun
all into that frost set stacking
Why canāt I find you?
AH nah
Noice
the other rogues don't count
I'm honestly in the "could be better" still
it would be trivial to swap to sub with sin gear, for the most part
Ye same but pugging is not great on alliance eu
aoe would be way simpler
true
but im necro and its not so good on sub
It actually is?
Necro sub sims quite well I think for dslice
Dunno how it translates tho to gameplay
does it? people keep telling me if im necro better to just go sin outlaw, and venthyr go sin sub
I just want FoK to give me more than 1 combo point when I hit 8 things on Sin, is that too much to ask?!
fixing FoK combo points would solve a lot of sin issues in m+ i think, could get a lot more ruptures out
more consistency with cp generated by FoK rather
my boner works on up to 3 its fine, im not going boner leggo
I prefer it being tied to crit, can at least feel the benefit of getting high crit with better gear
I actually think sin is fine in m+, the more I play it
I mean Iām pulling numbers higher than my group and relative to people that are far better than I am
I think itās legit
Not Uber top tier, but you can stomp some 20+s with it pretty easily
is there a pin of trinkets to go after:
?

how...
Fusion amp and Phial are the 2 best trinkets.
Shadowgrasp totem is great, the eye trinket is good.
noice
Apparently he got one dagger from Sylv and the second one from the vault the day after.
got the fusion amp yesterday with the weekly so yay
lucky sob
and got a 226 phial
wtf
my raid has not even seen the bow or dagger drop at all, on any difficulty
Is the 2 sylv daggers worth i for assa
Good stuff. You can use Droptimizer in raidbots to find upgrades.
sylv M version
2 259 mythic ones, definitely.
There's nothing better than the mythic daggers.
@willow osprey generally speaking ilevel is king, then its likely to be haste and crit preference, depending on domination bonuses, but sim yourself to get the bes idea
But a 252 main hand and 246 heroic sylv dagger is better than 246 sylv dagger in both main hand and off hand.
yeah for sure
I was just wondering if 1 Sylv and 1 renmant becomes better at a certain amount of targets
But its probably like 7 or 8+ 
Disgusting
i cri
I hate this
So many replies LMFAO
Thatās what my gear looks like in tourney realm 
and the ugly mog on top of it. reeeee
Ye cos itās the wet dream
Except obviously 252-259
Anyone else still haven't seen a single sylv dagger drop
Well, I got PF dagger... I need to push 17s this week for KSM so I can upgrade this bad boy.

Don't feel too bad man. I still only have 3 dom sockets and in the last 3 weeks I haven't gotten a single raid drop that was usable
Unlucky
Yeah, it happens.
tnx mate
Hard to understand that after this long your dom sockets can still elude you every week lol
From every difficulty
Still missing chest piece here
Ye that also seems really odd to me
How many chances is that? Like 2-3 kills per week on 2 bosses for 6-7 weeks + all great vaults
That is really unlucky
I've killed HC + Normal Sylvanas with 3 people that could trade me the dagger
4 weeks in a row
no dagger
Oof
f
I had a double phial drop yesterday 
I'll funnel you a phial bb
and a dagger
Bout to go horde
Well arenāt u special 
gimmie a month or so
Oxi gots my back

Degenerate
true
Also
Welp lunch break is up, holla at yāall Laraās
Why
3 were alliance 
nelf, velf, and dark iron dorf
just to play around w/ the racials
We have 220 and 239 dom gloves on the korthia vendors
yoi waddup. i can finally make a r6 cape. not sure what to send i was gonna do dashing but i heard frost shard were getting nerfed or something not sure i should still send
bet thanks. 1 more question are the numbers on ur spreadsheet acurate for the covenant/lego table
how much was it oversimming? I saw some people saying their sims went down like 200 but that seems like too much for just the sinful frost interaction
Yes
They should be
Bout 150-200 seems about right
weird, you'd think the 6% sinful buff on frost set wouldnt be that impactful
Itās like 15% of your damage though
true
Im sure im doing something wrong but even assuming full uptime on sinfuls 6% only adds like 60 dps to winds for me
your winds would have to be doing 3.3k dps by itself for a 6% buff to count for 200 dps
He been saying they were nerfed or something? Lol
Sims were fixed and he said rogues were nerfed for the clickbait views
yep
because he's dumb as fuck
How lovely
it'll only help our parses dont worry
How do you figure that
!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
less competition idk no hablo ingles
He says a lot of shit 
Tu hablas espanol?
Yeah ik I popped into his stream for a moment the other day and he was talking about outlaw getting hit the hardest
Which is not true
But didnāt hear him say nerf
They are, that parts true
Yeah ik
infex missunderstood the information in #tc-updates, but thats on him for not asking/reading
Yeah it was just sim dps correct
Correct
Not in game?
discords often point out mistakes
In game has not changed
and there are enough people who don't care about status of a person and call out bullshit if its stated
Kk thatās what I had thought
being wrong is btw. nothing bad, its just annoying for regulars to discuss the same topic multiple times because a more influential person did state something incorrect
I mean his command was like !frostNERFS or some shit like that for while
And even more annoying when he doesnāt correct himself
Yeah I know. Just can create more confusion among the community etc.
+1 but i think most wow content creators including some very big names don't revisit a topic even if they are completely wrong and set a wrong perspective
Being wrong is very bad when you put out the information as "matter of fact"
because then everyone here has to deal with the shitstorm that follows
And he's like always wrong
it's impressive how wrong one human being can be actually
i don't think anyone will reiterate on a topic unless ther e is enough public exposure
like a ton of bad feedback on social media
He plays pretty well though I think is why a lot of people listen
i can't comment on how well infex plays and i think he is in entertainment and wish him the best to gain/retain a decent status
but again, being wrong is nothing exclusive to him, a lot of even more influential people are wrong too
also a lot of things hold themself over a long duration fo time
we still have people infrequently asking if the sylvanas dagger is buggy for example
Yep
YouTube videos donāt get deleted like old pins do.
Could outlaw not use dagger in the past?
Just curious
There was a bug in PTR that had something to do with proccing
Like, the first dagger to proc was the only one that could proc?
Something really, really fucking dumb
They removed the proc until it was fixed, and to my knowledge it's never been bugged while the patch was live
only in PTR
bfa had a time when outlaw would use 2 daggers due to a azerite build
and assassination had a time people would use 2 1h weapons in m+
so both outlaw and assassination had some spicy things ^^
Wow lol
I miss the old combat daggers build
Could you mutilate?
LOL
Double divers folly
Folly was so fucking strong
It was
bros, how bad is verst for M+? i've put up some crit and mast
put verst still high af
but*
i dont like that kind of sim
Highest ilvl
hm
Is best usually
ight
Why not?
Dslice is well optimized for rogue specs.
Not as good for some other classes
But itās pretty good for rogue
for this reason
im main boomie
so, i dont usually go for that sim
but if it is good for rogues gg
Ah
not sure if ds is bad for any specific class
opinions on it differ but i think its a reasonable estimate
those chickens on the boomkin discrd are discordant with ds
i know shamans don't like it even tho its totally fine for them
Like APL and coding wise or something
but i don't think thats bad, opinions can differ
it depends, it can be apl issues but also just opinion
and its fair to have different opinions, in general every discord is its own bubble and has its own rules
Other servers hate Dslice. I ask how they sim for m+ to figure out what to run, they said you can't, then give me reasons why I should run x/y/z in keys without sims
that was always a meme though
no one actually took it seriously
it didn't sim that bad even
garn i know for fact that even compatitive players do 20/40 sec high target sims
Yeh kinda weirdge
while i would say that one of the worse sims to do
I understand there are theory crafters doing sims, but typically it's people echoing what someone else said. Then when I ask for reasons, typically don't get a legit answer.
tbh i think its just a issue of data presentation
but its easier to complain than solving that ^^
True dat
Man misinformation is annoying lol I feel for all you guys who have to deal with it ā¤ļø
I disagree, I think it's an issue that we make excuses for people who spread misinformation for views on youtube
The fact that a certain content creator has been notorious for putting out wrong information in his videos for years now and is allowed to still be in RH is kinda sus
my point in that post was more about diffrences in opinion on fight style value
yea fair enough
for what its worth, we still have people who come in regularely asking about spell queue window
coming from a video that was createdin bfa by a echo member with wrong information
Do Boomies have uncapped aoe? I wonder if it's because they do groups that pulls like 15 mobs at once
and dslice never has that pull
for a capped aoe class it's probably fine
But patchwerk sims are capped at 10tgts anyway
And iirc dgslice has a pack of 10 mobs on it
I don't really remember how was it
you can sim any number of targets
It's like 2 min st, then various packs
it's actually small packs in dslice
just need to sim local
Fair enough
but for what purpose would you sim more than 10 targets
esp. on rogue with 8 target cap
For druids, ele shams, mages
true, but a boomie might want larger pull simed
but even outside of rogue it seems rather uncommon to have that big of a target count
Doesn't happen very often on keys anyway
thats the point
it alternates between packs with a size of 1-3 and packs with a size of 4-6 and the 1-3 packs last longer
packs in ds can overlap
If true that is a problem.
to come back to "mage needs over 10 target sims", why?
Boss for just over 2 minutes (lust will be used for this boss)
4ā6 mobs for 11ā19 seconds
1ā3 mobs for 26ā34 seconds
4ā6 mobs for 11ā19seconds
1ā3 mobs for 26ā34 seconds
Continue alternating between large and small packs until the end of the sim
There will be variable gaps of time between trash packs
Almost every dungeon has pulls of 8 mobs regularly. Some have pulls of 12+
if you are doing 2 packs at once
i don't see anyone realistically pull more than 10 targets for a sustained amount of time that would justify using it as a point of gearing evaluation
if thats rly a public opinion that you need idk 12 target 2 minute sims or so
i think that just means those players like to see big numbers in a sim
How does Elemental sim ?
Single target - Patchwerk 1 Boss 5minutes is the standard, vary if appropriate. ilvl is very likely to be your best, see #ele-faq for more.
M+ - To make gear comparisons we use Patchwerk 4-6 bosses, 40s/1min durations, disable Bloodlust.
Like. It is a spec without aoe cap
And they say to sim 4-6 tgts, but don't use dgslice
Funny lol
Would totally work with a good apl
It's weird, a few weeks ago when I was doing mostly 15 and 16's groups did 1 pack at a time.
again, thats fine everyone can have their own opinion
Nah they donāt hold CDs afaik, only SK
Now people are a bit more geared and Im trying to get into 17s
and seeing 2 packs at at once every group
trying to make time with increased health pools
2 packs is still not 12 targets
btw cev is raiding with method atm on sco stream
I think if the tank can survive it 2 packs is faster
You definitely have a lot of large pulls in m+ these days. For example, the first pull I did this weekend for HoA was the entire right side of the top side which is 23 mobs - second pull even larger. Itās definitely a viable thing now because people are going up in key level
it's also not fortified raging this week
even on high keys?
Yes
high keys its more important. you won't make time without the aoe
The way to time is group and burn essentially. The goal of that pull is to push 22s at least
too much health to chew through
i mean its one specific key
I donāt think itās necessarily important for rogue and thatās not the point Iām after, but it is useful for some
and question is if everyone is going full aoe build in that even
i would also argue that you won't bring a rogue if target cap is that important ^^
In DoS you pull the pats up top. And then you pull everything but the dragon to the urn and pop it
And thatās definitely close to 30ish targets.
Yeah definitely not, but I can see validity in having higher target sims is all š
Iām listing examples, point was all dungeons have these levels of pulls š
i meant his means rogue is utter garbo in m+ and not played 
its tough because dslice only sims a few pulls and then a boss. Not the whole dungeon.
maybe seperating dslice into 2 sims with smaller and bigger trash pulls would help
if 30+ target pulls are super common in all dungeons
they arent. only that one pull is 30
but I can think of a few 10-15 pulls
in other dungeons
halls of atonement has like 3 pulls of 12+
maybe even 4
I can still do 18-25k, but definitely drop the value of rogue aoe compared to like aff lock, ele shaman, and different uncapped classes
i mean rogue is just objectively bad
if you have a lot of high target pulls
you are limited to 8 targets
so if you say "30+" target pulls are common in all dungeons or even correct thatt o 20+ or 15+ it just means you won't bring rogue at all
or any aoe capped class for what its worth
and if thats the case, its on blizz to fix it
It's why I only push on tyrannical weeks now...
I suck too much on fort
from raider.io you have 2 maybe 3 dungeons rogue does fall out of flavour atm at the very top end
at least my single target is useful on T
so i don't think its as dramatic
so i have a noob question
we all how minimal it is between agi pot and phantom does frost give phantom an extra boost or nah
I think you can sim that. Let us know if you spot a difference!
oh yea i forgot
pretty sure frost doesnt accumulate crits from non class specific damage
does agility still give crit? i feel like thats not true
top logs say sin use agi and outlaw uses phantom intresting
Except that you would, because interrupts and hard CCs still need to happen
M+ isn't a DPS fiesta
there's a lot of little things that need to be taken care of and rogue is perfect for that
the blade flurry meta of BFA wasn't just that because outlaw pumped damage. They wanted rogues for the kicks, the gouges, the blinds, the stuns
the shrouds
Looking at dungeons from strictly a dps standpoint is incredibly shortsighted
if you're doing 10s and topping out at 15s
sure take whoever pumps more
cause shit won't live long enough to matter
On mythic whats best. SIn or Sub?
^
u def dont pull 30 plus in all dungeons. some dont even have packs like that
you can play whatever
everything's fine
really just depends on your pref
if you pref sub, go play sub
mdi time trials, top teams all brought rogue on de other side and halls 21.
i deffo pref Sin
if you pref assa, go play assa
and you know they were pulling big
nothing wrong with that, just continue playing sin then
dw, you're not griefing anyone
sub should have more ST dmg
but as I told you
it's not to an extent where it's griefing if you're playing assa
yes, i just feel like evaluating gear for 30/15 enemies seems not efficient. I might be entirely wrong in my opinion
Well thatās just moving the post. I was just saying it could be valuable here for other classes - not necessarily rogue in mind. Oxi is just counter pointing the āwhy bring rogue statementā
I think itās a valuable sim in potential.
its for me hard to say
i don't think we have enough players who push in the top positions to confirm how much idk 15 target sims are used for talent/gear evaluation
and i am still skeptic if thats reasonable to use as a evluation metric
but i aknowlage that opinions differ and that it might be relevant
That point is fair, but we are getting more and more people :P.
I donāt think itās a good evaluation metric (speaking for rogue) as much as itās a good goal post for people. While it may be a good metric for other classes š
no i mean i am even for those classes sceptical
would be interessting to make some statistics/sims/calculations on it
Didnt they determine that the dslice was still correct on best gear for damage regardless of pull counts
And sims arent really a target anyway so it doesnt matter if you hit your number or are past it?
Dungeonslice isnāt a sim style that determines spec viability, itās only for figuring out which gear is best
Thats what im saying
dungeonslice doesnt even work for all specs
Yep
it should work for all specs
Yeah but for rogue specifically, i remember a while back hearing that even without adjusting for high count pulls, gear it recommends will do more damage in a high count pull
it may work, but it wont be accurate, I know like boomkin you basically have to sim patchwerk
Lol we had this conversation earlier
Ye
Ye
thats a interesting discussion agreon
I think someone asked whispyr a month or 2 ago
Yeah but itās a mix of a ton of pull counts
Whereas a dungeon like halls is constantly 8+
the assumption that you need super high target counts to evaluate is interessting if you assume that talent/stats won't change significantly due to that
I think is agreons point
and if thats the case, dungeon slice will give you a way better estimate because its not optimizing for one speciifc pull (and even fail to map that one well) while ignoring the rest of the dungeon run
this is why this entire topic would be interesting to deep dive.
We have many dependencies that don't seem obvious and there could be absolute reasons why something is better/worse for a specific subset of people or for specific dungeons
Hi all
i feel like im not getting enough stacks on Flagellation
mostly i get 15-17 18
might be due to the fact that there are only 5 max combo points but is there an efficient way to make sure to get as much talents as possible
You will normally only get to 20-21 stacks as sin
Unless itās during lust
You will almost never get 30 unless you get lucky with crit/seal fate combo point procs during lust
Are you following the max-1 combo point finisher rule?
For fusion trink is there a preferred window to use it in? I.e. with the 2m cds ven/flag or just use on cd regardless of other cds
Use on cd
Since its only 1.5m
@hollow river sorry but i dont know it im a little bit new with rogue
No problem
Thanks and I assumed as much but wanted to confirm
We donāt force 5 combo point finishers(rupture/envenom/etc)
Just as long as you will keep hitting the boss during its window
Since holding would essentially give you 1+ uses loss per fight
Of course
@raw fog basically you can use finishers at 4 combo points because if u mutilate again I will waste a combo point
thing is when you mutilate and get 3 combo points
do you mutilate again for 5 finisher or you just use shiv / poisened knife
We avoid wasting combo points at all costs, except for casting shiv
You get 2
3 would be from a proc
We donāt play around the procs
i meant which is worth
feel like shiv is better for its lower energy cost
my biggest issue when i look at my dmg logs is that i have nearly more dmg from mutilate than evenom which looks bad compared to other pro players logs who sometimes have evenom dmg 4 times muti dmg
You only use shiv if:
You have rupture on your target
You want to try and envenom inside shiv
You press shiv on cd
First priority with shiv is pressing it on cd
Also donāt use poison knife in your rotation for cp. only if your out of range
^^^^^^
You can use garrote to get to 5 combo points but only if you need to refresh garrote
garrote is worth a mutilate on energy so i only use it when needs to refresh
Thatās good
Have you checked out all the guides and the FAQ channels?
Very good information
Iāve always filled my 4 cp to 5 with extra fan of knives
No bueno
If garrote isnāt near ded
what about vendetta and flag
which one should be casted first even tho i can cast them in a 0.5 sec diff
and should they be casted in same time ( meaning i wait for both to be on cd to use them or use whichever is on cd )
i didnt read all faqs yet which i surely will do
just wanted to throw some random questions lol
You use them on CD
The opener uses flag before vendetta
You can sync vendetta and flag if you wonāt lose a cast during the fight
But thatās more min max
And you need fight timings etc
!guides
Openers are in the guides ^
IceyVeins has opener iirc
Alright ill check these out ty all
No problem, if you still have questions after guides Iām sure someone would be down to answer.
yea i believe it too
H or M?
M
Either way congrats
Solid 9 parse

Doesnāt matter, progression > parse
Now vault the dagger to show us itās possible 
Literally never seen a dagger bro it doesnāt real
O.o
I think Iād take a 246 chest piece over another dagger at this point
Got my first mythic vault tomorrow too

Only first 3 bosses
purty sure you can get anything from the first 8 in that box
for a salvaged fusion amp
The 4 mythic dungeon quest
I got 2 pieces and traded one each of the past 2 weeks
And someone else looted everything i needed this week p much
Iāve got 3/10M and 10/10 H for raid vault tmrw
And working on 4/10 for m+ tonight
I know the feeling @oak sky
And my guild couldnt kill the 9 so i had no chance at the crit hands

I meant eye
Im dumb
All I need atm, that is obtainable, is H fusion amp, phial, or a 252 dagger
Hahs
Other than that itās just H kt/sylv loot
those also don't exist dw
I need high crit hat, any raid hands, all sylv loot but belt, kt shoulders
on any difficulty
From heroic
239 vers/mastery from heroic pain 
Done 6 Mythic bosses and all 10 heroic this week, all I looted was the heroic belt on Soulrender.
Such fun getting nothing :)
What do you guys do when you get a 4 cp mutilate and you need to fill in one more cp
Dont fill it
But still the Chest piece 
Unless its with deeper
Envenom
Rhen you just mut
Or rupture if u need refresh
So thereās like 3 options?
Rupture refresh
Garrote refresh to fill to 5 cp?
Envenom
^
But u can shiv even if at 5 cp
Shiv is the only thing weāre allowed to overcap CP with
4th option ok
Yeah Iām my scenario thatās assumed
Its fine to refresh bleeds during shiv if necessary, its just preferred not to
I need to look at more logs then smh
A quick FoK bad doe?
Anyone doing high keys with Venth assassin here? Getting bored of Sub and have been doing Assassin instead. Guides say to use the Venth lego but I feel like it's very hard to maximize the use of it in dungeons. Is zoldy still the best alternative for keys and on par with venth lego or better?
Bad
terrible
How high is high poptart
17-22's~
Pretty high man
not extremely high lol
I do 17s i might be able to help
would run zoldyck
Why it so terrible?
Waste of energy and combo points
because you never want to build on 4
Iāll adopt this new strategy then and see how I do dps wise
Also, dashing has been slamming for me in raids, I'm loving dashing + frost.
Iāve been living a lie
has anyone been running dashing in keys?
@loud estuary imo obedience seems good but only really if st feels more important based on your group/dungeon/affixes
just don't
zoldyck is usually just better
kind of what i figured lol
always*
!guide
No work
we used it earlier


probably just restarting
!guid
give it 5-10 minute
Can there be any times when we would use fok to fill in 1 cp? Perhaps when we have two targets with bleeds up and we need to keep poisons on them and no bleed is in refresh territory and shiv is on cd?
Spend and then fok probably?
fok is only 3t+ tho
Yea for poisons
you wouldn't generate with it until 4
ye
in 2t you still mutilate
:)
tbh I don't even bother with fok until 4

Hmm I like to live on the edge and send a fok out on 3 targets

If I get two cps it was worth 15 energy less than a mut for the same price
its worse numerically for generation and damage or everyone would do it, but whatever floats your boat
Happens all the time on fate smh
what about it
Yea but your damage and thereās a chance you get only 1 cp
pretty sure getting the cp is worse than mutilating
cause ball dmg past second is not effective damage
Mut does more damage especially when using doomblade
I see you trying to pad on that painsmith
it wouldn't be worth for anything except ball padding
if you're single targeting a ball, you'd mut
ye
if you're trying to do boss damage, you'd mut
aight sick
