U suck uwutang noober

limber lion

: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.

LMAO

I'm done with that

Alright boys, I'm cutting it here.

Outch

slow marsh
#

Instant classic

limber lion
#

No more.

#

If you want to continue, take it to dms.

strange python
#

I'm done dw, but he shouldn't ping me at random about something that's a week old

limber lion
#

Feel free to contact me if you feel offended by me cutting the flame-festival short.

rocky pecan
#

At a time the conversation was interesting but it's juste going into full trolling

limber lion
#

So, any assa gamers in the chat?

potent dagger
#

Yeah sure ^^

limber lion
#

limber lion
slow marsh
#

Not bad for us and it wasn't a nerf

stuck knoll
slow marsh
#

Stop watching infexious

limber lion
stuck knoll
#

actually wait

#

The only time I played sin on prog was cruicible

cerulean nest
#

dont tell me there's a nerf lol already two weeks behind catching up on frost

#

my heart

stuck knoll
#

and I just said fuck this I'm going outlaw about 5 pulls in

limber lion
#

I missed crucible completely :( it seemed like an awful fight ngl

gusty mirage
stuck knoll
#

I only did cabal mythic

limber lion
#

or well, Uu'nat in particular

#

Ah fair enough

polar matrix
#

was it a nerf for outlaw @limber lion

stuck knoll
#

cuz it nearly esploded the guild

#

there was a big argument involving dps buff

limber lion
#

The sims were just oversimming, that's all.

stuck knoll
#

and our spriest suiciding cuz he got dispelled

limber lion
#

Nothing has changed in-game.

gusty mirage
#

I was like nope

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

not today satan

polar matrix
#

oh i heard something about reducing frost proc dmg with ghostly strike or something like that

limber lion
#

Are you still raiding with the same guild?

stuck knoll
#

no

#

This was RN

limber lion
#

Ah okay, did it die soon after or

#

Ah right

stuck knoll
#

It died onnnnn

#

Azshara

#

then got reborn next tier

slow marsh
limber lion
#

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 :(

karmic crystal
#

Ceverion guild killer

#

Confirmed

limber lion
#

Oh no

#

Method about to get destroyed

stuck knoll
#

I enjoyed it cuz I actually played the tier the most probably

spice spire
#

Unluckers

stuck knoll
#

I just couldn't stand Azshara

#

as a fight

karmic crystal
#

Method was already destroyed

stuck knoll
#

so quit the game

subtle tundra
#

joined a guild with CE last week of tier and got it šŸ™‚

limber lion
#

Yeah, I enjoyed TEP as well honestly, the raiding environment in the guild was just super awful so it wasn't fun

delicate bone
limber lion
#

The tier in itself was great though imo

limber lion
#

Queen's Court was non-ironically a really, really fun assa fight

#

Like one of the most fun fights in a while.

stuck knoll
polar matrix
#

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?

slow marsh
stuck knoll
#

I did Queens Court as outlaw

limber lion
#

ouch

stuck knoll
#

Was like

#

20th to kill or some shit was a big meme at the time

#

cuz Zine got benched

limber lion
polar matrix
#

my bad then had wrong info

#

so for pani

#

soz*

slow marsh
#

Wait so is method my new favorite guild cuz daddy Cev ?

stuck knoll
#

Certain streamers

#

had it in their titles

gusty mirage
#

you can say the name

#

its okay

stuck knoll
#

that it got nerfed

limber lion
#

I need to start practicing my outlaw just in case it's gonna skyrocket to new heights in 9.2

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

Cev's my favorite guild

spice spire
#

Until it dies pepehands

gusty mirage
#

I don't cheer on guilds, I cheer on one man

spice spire
#

True

gusty mirage
#

who may or may not be part robot

slow marsh
#

Yeah cyborg at a minimum for sure

limber lion
#

Fingers crossed rogue does well in 9.2 so I actually get to play the game.

spice spire
#

Claims he’s built diff but standard robot whispyrthinking

limber lion
#

Assa bis rogue spec in 9.2 copium

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

Never know

gusty mirage
#

considering how much review rogue gets

#

eeeeeeeh

spice spire
#

Need more buffs to scale copium

gusty mirage
#

you kinda know

slow marsh
#

What kind of BP next tier will do for us

gusty mirage
#

its okay guys

#

tier sets coming soon COPIUM

#

that'll fix thing

#

s

slow marsh
#

No way rogue gets nerfed cuz we are Perma ignored

gusty mirage
#

we only get pvp nerfed

strange python
#

??? Entirety of sl beta disagrees with that

gusty mirage
#

cuz people qq about dying to the invisible boogieman

slow marsh
#

Wait we aren't still in beta rn ?

strange python
#

Kek

stuck knoll
strange python
#

Sbs works finally, sort of, so we out?

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
#

nevermind that SBS was borked, ER didn't even work kekg

#

"polished"

strange python
#

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.

slow marsh
#

Speaking of ER I need to get a sim of theotar with only 20% umbrella uptime and haste or crit buffs only

strange python
#

don't ping me at random in the spec channel of a spec I don't play bringing up a week-old argument then?

gusty mirage
#

@slow marsh I miss your Archer pfp

potent dagger
slow marsh
#

No it's because I'm trying to see if I want to go kyrian

potent dagger
#

Assa Kyrian ? oo

slow marsh
strange python
gusty mirage
strange python
#

If envenoms actual damage wasn't so bad maybe, but it would feel better than sub kyrian with shadow tech ffs

limber lion
#

I'm glad Kyrian is bad

strange python
#

Even with a decent timer and intuition on it, feels like garbage to lose the finisher to a shadow tech proc

limber lion
#

I'm not the biggest fan of the owl nor the covenant ability

potent dagger
#

Venthyr feel so good to me šŸ˜„

strange python
#

I want soulshape :(

gusty mirage
#

Cev hates blue combo points, confirmed

#

you all heard it here

limber lion
#

:()

potent dagger
#

it's beacause they are blue ?

strange python
#

Cev are you playing ep vigor on mythic on all fights? Even shit like guardian?

potent dagger
#

Are your bluecist ?

spice spire
#

Owl good

gusty mirage
#

I think its just cause ER sucks balls

spice spire
#

ER very bad

#

All my homies hate ER

gusty mirage
strange python
#

Id rather play er than owl.

slow marsh
#

Kleia is actually better than bonersmith

potent dagger
#

Kyrian potion is good to bypass certain mechanics tough

spice spire
#

Owl so good for cheesing thoughpepehands

strange python
#

Er+soulshape would be better than flag+owl. Feels wise.

#

Fuck owl

spice spire
#

Wait

#

Does it take a potion spot

#

?

strange python
#

No

spice spire
#

Oh owl fine then

strange python
#

Owl obnoxious

spice spire
#

Lemme just play the flute damn

limber lion
strange python
#

Flute toy?

spice spire
#

Nah you can make the owl play a song

strange python
#

Spotify?

limber lion
#

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.

slow marsh
#

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

potent dagger
#

Since it's meant to accelerate the cycle , i'm not surprised

#

but it feel so sluggish :/

slow marsh
#

It feels more weird to me playing with 5cp now vs 6

#

If you don't get procs it's for sure feels bad

potent dagger
#

and i've the feeling that it kills my burst

limber lion
#

I just wdon'

#

oops

#

I just don't like how BS screws with pooling rules.

slow marsh
#

I'm just more of an rng guy if the % is favorable at all

strange python
#

Pooling is the most fun part of sin :/

limber lion
#

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

slow marsh
#

Yeah but it does end up playing faster in general

strange python
#

Hitting 4 CP during a flag window feels atrocious

#

With ds

limber lion
#

I don't care about faster or slower gameplay personally.

#

I just play whatever does more dps for me.

strange python
#

Theoretically the play is faster with less cp and more energy though, to ice's question

slow marsh
#

Not when flag exists

limber lion
#

BS/DS is actually higher APM than EP/Vig

strange python
#

Can't imagine BS offsets that except maybe under 30%

limber lion
#

You can sim it yourself and go look at the apm

slow marsh
#

I forget what whisp said it came out to be but it's pretty decent increase in apm

limber lion
#

It's like 1-3 APM higher with BS

potent dagger
#

BS would be bis if procced ambush were out of GCD

limber lion
#

Probably even more with Dashing

slow marsh
#

It is more with dashing

#

Dashing increases value of bs DS more than doomblade

strange python
#

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.

slow marsh
#

I mean yeah but more cp is more finishers

#

Moreso than more energy

#

Hence why we stack crit over haste

#

Even before frost

strange python
#

Are you hitting envenom more with bsds than EP vigor? That seems intuitively wrong to me but I haven't checked the facts

lavish lichen
#

Dumb question I’m a bit confused by the concept of pooling, what exactly do I do during that time? Just afk?

strange python
#

Make sure you're behind the boss and auto attacking, but yeah basically.

#

Assuming you have max CP and low energy

lavish lichen
#

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)

narrow ravine
#

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

lavish lichen
#

What energy do you want to be at for shiv?

strange python
slow marsh
#

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

lavish lichen
#

Yep I have that question too

strange python
#

Gut says latter. But I wouldn't trust my own gut.

narrow ravine
#

pool to 4/5 cp, shiv, env, try and get 3 env in the window is what I have been doing

strange python
#

That runs the risk of overcapping CP

#

I would imagine you want 1 less

lavish lichen
#

If you pull to 4/5 yoy envenom first then shiv?

slow marsh
#

You don't care about overcap with shiv

narrow ravine
#

if you get to 4 hold at 4 if you happen to get to 5, ignore the cp from shiv

lavish lichen
#

So you def always envenom AFTER shiv

willow osprey
#

Does anyone know Necrolord assa stat prio for raid?

lavish lichen
#

Regardless of CPs?

narrow ravine
#

if you are waiting for a long time or capping energy before shiv is off cooldown, you are pooling too early

slow marsh
#

Yes but never hold shiv

lavish lichen
#

Yea makes sense

slow marsh
#

So if shiv is up you press regardless of cp

strange python
#

And try your best to not have to garrote or rupture in shiv window

lavish lichen
#

Right but if you are prepping it

potent dagger
#

@limber lion DS or Vig for Mm+ ?

narrow ravine
#

ABS, always be shivvin'

limber lion
slow marsh
#

Ideally you shiv into envenom but it's not a big deal

limber lion
#

Always Vigor.

lavish lichen
#

I assume its better to get to 3 CPs no?

potent dagger
#

K thanks šŸ˜‰

lavish lichen
#

Or again doesn’t matter there?

slow marsh
#

As long as you're not overcapping energy sure

limber lion
#

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

narrow ravine
#

I think he was just asking if he should use shiv regardless of the cp he has

limber lion
#

Then you just Mutilate ot max-1

lavish lichen
#

I thibk you misunderstood, I mena pool to 3 CPs (at the same time a pooling energy for Shiv) and then shiv

limber lion
#

But you literally said

#

"So you should Envenom after shiv regardless of cp"

#

which is just incorrect

limber lion
lavish lichen
#

Ohh yea bad wording I see

limber lion
#

^ This is 100% incorrect.

fallen arch
#

Ok so how many of you

limber lion
#

You might have to Mutilate after Shiv or even garrote.

fallen arch
#

Have been slammed for playing sin in m+

limber lion
#

But yeah, just slam shiv.

slow marsh
#

It was under the assumption that you're at 3-5 cp already tho I think

narrow ravine
#

I just got KSM as Sin in m+ its fine

#

it may not be 'the best' but its not terrible

limber lion
#

As long as you don't overcap energy, you're fine.

narrow ravine
#

I still often top the group overall dps

limber lion
#

If you're going to overcap, then you use Envenom followed by Shiv.

slow marsh
#

All good haha

lavish lichen
#

But I get it bad wording

#

Thanks for the help

slow marsh
#

But yes cev brings up a good point

#

For like vanish I shiv into mut

#

On opener

narrow ravine
#

I don't do that

slow marsh
#

You don't want to wait for cp in that instance

#

Shiv vanish mut

limber lion
#

Getting multiple Mutilate casts during the MA window is actually more beneficial than 2 Envenoms.

slow marsh
#

Ye

lavish lichen
#

Ahh interesting

limber lion
#

Especially when using Flagellation

lavish lichen
#

Kyrian here 😦

limber lion
#

You want to maximize your CP generation and using Env - Muti - Env is just a slight waste in terms of CP.

gusty mirage
#

@limber lion do you use a WA to track the frost set?

spice spire
#

Kyrian sin monkaW

slow marsh
gusty mirage
#

Can I bother you for a link? :3

limber lion
#

But I don't play around it whatsoever, it's just to see how big hits I get

fallen arch
limber lion
#

Sure, I'll link it on bnet

gusty mirage
#

ā¤ļø

limber lion
slow marsh
#

I want to test kyrian

#

Sin

iron orchid
lavish lichen
#

Man… idk why you can’t test covs

#

Worst shit

slow marsh
#

I'm not making raid this weekend so I might do it rn actually

fallen arch
#

You can

#

Just have to wait to reset to go back

lavish lichen
#

I’m on ele sham main so I wanted to test stuff but couldn’t bc didnt want to troll raid

spice spire
slow marsh
#

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

iron orchid
#

I'm top 10 alli world on raider io as kyrian rogue, the next is 119

spice spire
fallen arch
#

Oh wait

slow marsh
#

Kleia sin is better st than Necro

#

And holds up decently in cleave

iron orchid
#

Deïræ

#

around top 54 world or sth

iron orchid
#

But quite fun

#

all into that frost set stacking

fallen arch
#

Why can’t I find you?

iron orchid
fallen arch
#

Oh wait I thought u said all rogues

#

But it’s sin rogues

iron orchid
#

AH nah

fallen arch
#

Noice

iron orchid
#

YEAH

#

I'm not THAT good

#

xD

narrow ravine
#

the other rogues don't count

iron orchid
#

I'm honestly in the "could be better" still

narrow ravine
#

it would be trivial to swap to sub with sin gear, for the most part

fallen arch
narrow ravine
#

aoe would be way simpler

narrow ravine
#

but im necro and its not so good on sub

fallen arch
#

It actually is?

#

Necro sub sims quite well I think for dslice

#

Dunno how it translates tho to gameplay

narrow ravine
#

does it? people keep telling me if im necro better to just go sin outlaw, and venthyr go sin sub

limber lion
#

It's not the best gameplay.

#

Would not recommend necro Sub.

narrow ravine
#

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?!

spice spire
#

Yes

#

Unluckers pepehands

fallen arch
#

It happens

#

Fok should be like storm

#

That’d be nice

narrow ravine
#

fixing FoK combo points would solve a lot of sin issues in m+ i think, could get a lot more ruptures out

fallen arch
#

Wdym

#

U’re a boner dude

#

Clap out dem bonespike

narrow ravine
#

more consistency with cp generated by FoK rather

#

my boner works on up to 3 its fine, im not going boner leggo

quasi ledge
#

I prefer it being tied to crit, can at least feel the benefit of getting high crit with better gear

spice spire
#

I actually think sin is fine in m+, the more I play it

narrow ravine
#

its fine...

#

[fire dog meme] fine...

spice spire
#

I mean I’m pulling numbers higher than my group and relative to people that are far better than I am

#

I think it’s legit

#

Not Uber top tier, but you can stomp some 20+s with it pretty easily

my raid has not even seen the bow or dagger drop at all, on any difficulty

shadow tusk

Is the 2 sylv daggers worth i for assa

limber lion
shadow tusk
#

sylv M version

limber lion
limber lion
#

There's nothing better than the mythic daggers.

winter vapor
limber lion
#

But a 252 main hand and 246 heroic sylv dagger is better than 246 sylv dagger in both main hand and off hand.

shadow tusk
#

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+ shrug

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

fallen arch
#

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 been sorta lucky otherwise

#

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

balmy condor
#

They were oversimming

#

No nerfs

#

Fucking infexious

sudden canyon
#

ah icic

#

sims fixed now?

#

or been fixed i guess

balmy condor
#

Yes

#

Fixed last week

sudden canyon
#

bet thanks. 1 more question are the numbers on ur spreadsheet acurate for the covenant/lego table

wintry mica
#

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

balmy condor
#

Yes

sudden canyon
#

or not acurate but reflective of the fixes

#

ok cool thanks

balmy condor
#

They should be

balmy condor
wintry mica
#

weird, you'd think the 6% sinful buff on frost set wouldnt be that impactful

balmy condor
#

It’s like 15% of your damage though

wintry mica
#

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

hollow river
tired galleon
#

Sims were fixed and he said rogues were nerfed for the clickbait views

gusty mirage
#

because he's dumb as fuck

How lovely

cerulean nest
#

it'll only help our parses dont worry

hollow river
#

How do you figure that

potent dagger
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

hollow river
#

Tu hablas espanol?

balmy condor
#

But yes

#

Infexious has said that frost was nerfed

hollow river
balmy condor
#

Which is not true

hollow river
#

But didn’t hear him say nerf

hollow river
#

Yeah ik

vestal wren
#

infex missunderstood the information in #tc-updates, but thats on him for not asking/reading

hollow river
#

Yeah it was just sim dps correct

balmy condor
#

Correct

hollow river
#

Not in game?

vestal wren
#

discords often point out mistakes

balmy condor
#

In game has not changed

vestal wren
#

and there are enough people who don't care about status of a person and call out bullshit if its stated

hollow river
#

Kk that’s what I had thought

vestal wren
#

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

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

And even more annoying when he doesn’t correct himself

hollow river
vestal wren
#

+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

vestal wren
#

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

hollow river
#

He plays pretty well though I think is why a lot of people listen

vestal wren
#

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

hollow river
#

Yep

#

YouTube videos don’t get deleted like old pins do.

#

Could outlaw not use dagger in the past?

#

Just curious

alpine latch
#

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

vestal wren
#

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 ^^

alpine latch
#

I miss the old combat daggers build

hollow river
#

Could you mutilate?

vestal wren
#

no

#

you would use fok

hollow river
#

LOL

vestal wren
#

it was more of a meme build

#

but it worked

serene basin
#

bros, how bad is verst for M+? i've put up some crit and mast

#

put verst still high af

#

but*

hollow river
#

A little vers isn’t bad

#

Sim yourself

#

For best results

serene basin
#

uh

#

simm dslice?

hollow river
#

Dungeon slice

#

Yes

serene basin
#

i dont like that kind of sim

hollow river
#

Highest ilvl

serene basin
#

hm

hollow river
#

Is best usually

serene basin
#

ight

hollow river
#

Dslice is well optimized for rogue specs.

#

Not as good for some other classes

#

But it’s pretty good for rogue

serene basin
#

im main boomie

#

so, i dont usually go for that sim

#

but if it is good for rogues gg

hollow river
#

Ah

vestal wren
#

not sure if ds is bad for any specific class

#

opinions on it differ but i think its a reasonable estimate

hollow river
#

Oh?

#

I’ve heard some other classes aren’t optimized well for it

serene basin
#

those chickens on the boomkin discrd are discordant with ds

vestal wren
#

i know shamans don't like it even tho its totally fine for them

hollow river
#

Like APL and coding wise or something

vestal wren
#

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

scenic root
#

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

gusty mirage
#

no one actually took it seriously

vestal wren
#

it didn't sim that bad even

#

garn i know for fact that even compatitive players do 20/40 sec high target sims

vestal wren
#

while i would say that one of the worse sims to do

scenic root
#

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.

vestal wren
#

tbh i think its just a issue of data presentation

#

but its easier to complain than solving that ^^

scenic root
#

True dat

jovial adder
#

Man misinformation is annoying lol I feel for all you guys who have to deal with it ā¤ļø

gusty mirage
#

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

vestal wren
#

my point in that post was more about diffrences in opinion on fight style value

gusty mirage
#

yea fair enough

vestal wren
#

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

misty holly
#

and dslice never has that pull

#

for a capped aoe class it's probably fine

odd heath
#

But patchwerk sims are capped at 10tgts anyway

#

And iirc dgslice has a pack of 10 mobs on it

visual prairie
#

i dont' think it has anything that high

#

unless they changed it

odd heath
#

I don't really remember how was it

vestal wren
#

you can sim any number of targets

odd heath
#

It's like 2 min st, then various packs

visual prairie
#

it's actually small packs in dslice

vestal wren
#

just need to sim local

odd heath
vestal wren
#

but for what purpose would you sim more than 10 targets

#

esp. on rogue with 8 target cap

odd heath
#

For druids, ele shams, mages

misty holly
#

true, but a boomie might want larger pull simed

vestal wren
#

but even outside of rogue it seems rather uncommon to have that big of a target count

odd heath
#

Doesn't happen very often on keys anyway

vestal wren
#

thats the point

visual prairie
#

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

vestal wren
#

packs in ds can overlap

vestal wren
#

to come back to "mage needs over 10 target sims", why?

visual prairie
#

Boss for just over 2 minutes (lust will be used for this boss)
4–6 mobs for 11–19 seconds
1–3 mobs for 26–34 seconds
4–6 mobs for 11–19seconds
1–3 mobs for 26–34 seconds
Continue alternating between large and small packs until the end of the sim
There will be variable gaps of time between trash packs

misty holly
#

Almost every dungeon has pulls of 8 mobs regularly. Some have pulls of 12+

#

if you are doing 2 packs at once

vestal wren
#

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

odd heath
#

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

vestal wren
#

their apl is fine

#

they just disslike the fight style

misty holly
vestal wren
#

again, thats fine everyone can have their own opinion

lavish lichen
#

Nah they don’t hold CDs afaik, only SK

misty holly
#

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

vestal wren
#

2 packs is still not 12 targets

obtuse robin
#

btw cev is raiding with method atm on sco stream

misty holly
#

I think if the tank can survive it 2 packs is faster

spice spire
#

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. It’s definitely a viable thing now because people are going up in key level

visual prairie
#

it's also not fortified raging this week

spice spire
#

Yes

misty holly
#

high keys its more important. you won't make time without the aoe

spice spire
#

The way to time is group and burn essentially. The goal of that pull is to push 22s at least

misty holly
#

too much health to chew through

vestal wren
#

i mean its one specific key

spice spire
#

I don’t think it’s necessarily important for rogue and that’s not the point I’m after, but it is useful for some

vestal wren
#

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 ^^

spice spire
#

In DoS you pull the pats up top. And then you pull everything but the dragon to the urn and pop it

#

And that’s definitely close to 30ish targets.

#

Yeah definitely not, but I can see validity in having higher target sims is all šŸ˜›

vestal wren
#

oh ye

#

i am still unsure if you go all in for this pack in gear/talents

spice spire
#

I’m listing examples, point was all dungeons have these levels of pulls šŸ˜›

vestal wren
#

i meant his means rogue is utter garbo in m+ and not played peeposhrug

misty holly
#

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

vestal wren
#

if 30+ target pulls are super common in all dungeons

misty holly
#

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

spice spire
vestal wren
#

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

misty holly
#

We can spread crippling poison!

#

that is useful!

vestal wren
#

or any aoe capped class for what its worth

#

and if thats the case, its on blizz to fix it

misty holly
#

I suck too much on fort

vestal wren
#

from raider.io you have 2 maybe 3 dungeons rogue does fall out of flavour atm at the very top end

misty holly
#

at least my single target is useful on T

vestal wren
#

so i don't think its as dramatic

obtuse robin
#

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

misty holly
obtuse robin
#

oh yea i forgot

dawn ivy
#

pretty sure frost doesnt accumulate crits from non class specific damage

misty holly
#

remember agil gives crit % too

#

so they might balance out

dawn ivy
#

does agility still give crit? i feel like thats not true

obtuse robin
#

top logs say sin use agi and outlaw uses phantom intresting

gusty mirage
#

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

vital tapir
#

even tricks

#

is huge utility

#

for some tanks that don't have burst

gusty mirage
#

if you're doing 10s and topping out at 15s

#

sure take whoever pumps more

#

cause shit won't live long enough to matter

astral plover
#

On mythic whats best. SIn or Sub?

vital tapir
#

^

obtuse robin
#

u def dont pull 30 plus in all dungeons. some dont even have packs like that

vital tapir
#

really just depends on your pref

#

if you pref sub, go play sub

visual prairie
#

mdi time trials, top teams all brought rogue on de other side and halls 21.

astral plover
#

i deffo pref Sin

vital tapir
#

if you pref assa, go play assa

visual prairie
#

and you know they were pulling big

vital tapir
#

nothing wrong with that, just continue playing sin then

#

dw, you're not griefing anyone

astral plover
#

Just did HC Guardian. i did more as sub. with no Practise tho

#

had me wondering

vital tapir
#

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

vestal wren
vital tapir
#

and assa tends to be more forgiving kinda

#

"forgiving"

spice spire
vestal wren
#

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

spice spire
#

That point is fair, but we are getting more and more people :P.
I don’t think it’s a good evaluation metric (speaking for rogue) as much as it’s a good goal post for people. While it may be a good metric for other classes šŸ˜›

vestal wren
#

no i mean i am even for those classes sceptical

#

would be interessting to make some statistics/sims/calculations on it

south hollow
#

Guys does the shield from the frost shard

#

Proc the marrowed gemstone?

oak sky
#

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?

vestal wren
#

dungeon slice is good because its a mixed fight style

#

its by no means perfect

kind talon
#

Dungeonslice isn’t a sim style that determines spec viability, it’s only for figuring out which gear is best

oak sky
#

Thats what im saying

kind talon
#

The only thing that determines spec viability is playing the game yeah

#

Exactly :)

wintry mica
#

dungeonslice doesnt even work for all specs

kind talon
#

Yep

vestal wren
#

it should work for all specs

kind talon
#

It doesn’t

#

Because their APL’s are shit

oak sky
#

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

wintry mica
#

it may work, but it wont be accurate, I know like boomkin you basically have to sim patchwerk

hollow river
#

Lol we had this conversation earlier

kind talon
#

Ye

vestal wren
#

thats a interesting discussion agreon

hollow river
#

I mean our target cap is 8 targets

#

And iirc dslice maxes at 9 count pulls

oak sky
#

I think someone asked whispyr a month or 2 ago

kind talon
#

Yeah but it’s a mix of a ton of pull counts

#

Whereas a dungeon like halls is constantly 8+

vestal wren
#

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

kind talon
#

I think is agreons point

vestal wren
#

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

hollow river
#

Yeah I mean you still want to optimize for boss fights

#

Not just the big aoe

vestal wren
#

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

raw fog
#

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

hollow river
#

You will normally only get to 20-21 stacks as sin

#

Unless it’s during lust

#

You will almost never get 30 unless you get lucky with crit/seal fate combo point procs during lust

hollow river
delicate berry
#

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

delicate berry
#

Since its only 1.5m

raw fog
#

@hollow river sorry but i dont know it im a little bit new with rogue

delicate berry
#

Thanks and I assumed as much but wanted to confirm

hollow river
#

We don’t force 5 combo point finishers(rupture/envenom/etc)

hollow river
delicate berry
#

Since holding would essentially give you 1+ uses loss per fight

hollow river
#

Think it procs from autos iirc

#

Yeah everyone just uses on cd basically

hollow river
#

@raw fog basically you can use finishers at 4 combo points because if u mutilate again I will waste a combo point

raw fog
#

thing is when you mutilate and get 3 combo points
do you mutilate again for 5 finisher or you just use shiv / poisened knife

hollow river
#

We avoid wasting combo points at all costs, except for casting shiv

hollow river
#

3 would be from a proc

#

We don’t play around the procs

raw fog
#

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

hollow river
#

You only use shiv if:

#

You have rupture on your target

#

You want to try and envenom inside shiv

#

You press shiv on cd

oak sky
#

First priority with shiv is pressing it on cd

hollow river
#

^

#

Besides your opener

fervent rune
#

Also don’t use poison knife in your rotation for cp. only if your out of range

hollow river
#

^^^^^^

#

You can use garrote to get to 5 combo points but only if you need to refresh garrote

raw fog
#

garrote is worth a mutilate on energy so i only use it when needs to refresh

hollow river
#

That’s good

hollow river
#

Very good information

obsidian socket
#

I’ve always filled my 4 cp to 5 with extra fan of knives

hollow river
#

No bueno

obsidian socket
#

If garrote isn’t near ded

raw fog
#

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

hollow river
#

You use them on CD

oak sky
#

The opener uses flag before vendetta

hollow river
#

You can sync vendetta and flag if you won’t lose a cast during the fight

#

But that’s more min max

#

And you need fight timings etc

oak sky
#

obsidian socket
#

What do you guys do when you get a 4 cp mutilate and you need to fill in one more cp

oak sky
#

Dont fill it

hollow river
#

But still the Chest piece feelscryman

oak sky
#

Unless its with deeper

oak sky
#

Rhen you just mut

hollow river
#

Or rupture if u need refresh

obsidian socket
#

So there’s like 3 options?
Rupture refresh
Garrote refresh to fill to 5 cp?
Envenom

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

Or if shiv is off cd u can shiv, then envenom

oak sky
#

^

hollow river
#

But u can shiv even if at 5 cp

#

Shiv is the only thing we’re allowed to overcap CP with

obsidian socket
#

4th option ok

hollow river
#

But u don’t wanna shiv

#

If rupture isn’t on your target

obsidian socket
#

Yeah I’m my scenario that’s assumed

oak sky
#

Its fine to refresh bleeds during shiv if necessary, its just preferred not to

obsidian socket

I need to look at more logs then smh

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?

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?

hollow river
#

No

#

Not to fill in 1 cp

obsidian socket
#

Spend and then fok probably?

hollow river
#

You would spend then Fok

#

Yes

oak sky
#

fok is only 3t+ tho

balmy condor
#

well

#

3 to apply poisons

hollow river
#

Yea for poisons

balmy condor
#

you wouldn't generate with it until 4

oak sky
#

yeah thats what im saying

#

like even for poisons

balmy condor
#

ye

oak sky
#

in 2t you still mutilate

kind talon

:)

balmy condor
#

tbh I don't even bother with fok until 4

oak sky
#

agree

#

not that my opinion means anything OMEGAKEKW

kind talon
obsidian socket
#

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

kind talon
obsidian socket
#

If I get two cps it was worth 15 energy less than a mut for the same price

hollow river
#

Send fok on 6 targets

#

Get 1 cp pepehands

oak sky
#

its worse numerically for generation and damage or everyone would do it, but whatever floats your boat

obsidian socket
balmy condor
#

I like to live on the edge and do worse damage

kind talon
#

@balmy condor what about on painsmith

#

fok for cp?

balmy condor
#

what about it

hollow river
oak sky
#

pretty sure getting the cp is worse than mutilating

kind talon
#

cause ball dmg past second is not effective damage

hollow river
#

Mut does more damage especially when using doomblade

I see you trying to pad on that painsmith

balmy condor

it wouldn't be worth for anything except ball padding
