#

Oh I meant the quality of life stuff

iron orchid
#

tbh, 9.0.5 changes were also pretty good

fallen arch
#

And proper timewalking

#

Like switching around covenants

#

Which is massive for a couple of classes

iron orchid
fallen arch
#

Exactly

#

Also conduit energy has been tilting

iron orchid
#

given I already have three of them at 60+

iron orchid
fallen arch
#

And at life hasn’t been great

#

Atlt*

#

Wow

#

Need a new phone

#

ALT

iron orchid
#

I really want to see what they do to make legion timewalking M+ work

fallen arch
#

I think every fucking dungeon in the game should be available for m+

#

All the way down to Deadmines

iron orchid
#

I mean the loot we get, but also how they tune the dungeons for us to be able to do them even after aoe capping most specs

gusty mirage
#

Imagine they bring back overflow and teeming for it OMEGAKEKW

iron orchid
#

For me it'll be challenging anyways since I started playing only in 8.1

#

I don't know any of those dungeons

sterile chasm
#

frost set was nerfed?

#

i think i deal less dmg than ever

zinc frost
#

Boy, did I miss some juicy drama

plain thistle
thorny pond
#

No juicy drama

tired vessel
thorny pond
#

Just regular sin chat

north basin
#

guys how master poisoner talent interacts with deadly poisons conduit and dashing legendary? iam confused if its somehow interacts or ?

dawn ivy
#

they synergize together, yeah

#

MP is a flat 30% increase to poisons damage, lethal poisons conduit is a % increase to the initial damage of poisons, and dashing increases your poisons crit chance.

#

no double dipping or anything secret

north basin
#

so deadly poisons and shiv have same efffect? but different percentage of buff?

#

too many layers of this poison stuff. makes things kinda complicated to understand

sonic hedge
#

Shiv buffs nature damage, not just poison

#

Deadly poisons only affect poison

plain thistle
#

master poisoner buff your weapons poison (deadly, wound, instant)

#

shiv buffs envenom

#

which is nature

north basin
#

shiv buffs envenom + poisons?

sonic hedge
#

Yes

plain thistle
#

yes, because poison is nature

north basin
#

and deadly poisons conduit buffs initial poison aplication and ticks ? or only initial

iron orchid
#

only initial

#

the tooltip is pretty clear iirc

north basin
#

this is not clear why blizz did that, (

#

which deadly poisons got amplification?

#

the 10% one or 5.9%

#

which is tick and which is initial aplication?

iron orchid
#

the 10% one

#

it has the same icon as the instant poison of the other specs

north basin
#

so deadly poisons conduit amplify by 18% the 10% off my damage?

#

and thats all?

iron orchid
#

well it actually amounts to less than that, given you look at an already amplified damage hitting 10%

north basin
#

in this particular screen i dont have this conduit on

iron orchid
#

ok so yup, pretty much what you said

north basin
#

iam just asking if i put it on. this will buff only this part off my damage table by 18%

#

right?

#

sounds weak xD

iron orchid
#

most sin conduits are

#

they weren't during SL beta but got nerfed in the last two weeks before patch

north basin
#

poison bomb affffected by shiv?

iron orchid
burnt star
#

Oh.. dont forget that chaos brand also buff nature damage

north basin
#

well this is given ye

burnt star
#

Shiv affect all poison damage dealt by u

north basin
#

and master poisoner only buffs 10% + 5.9% of my damage ffrom screen above and thats all too?

burnt star
#

That exclude trinket. Its an extenal applicarion

iron orchid
#

basically, shiv affects everything that counts as rogue nature ability damage, so no trinket, no exterior buff giving you nature hits

north basin
#

ye trinket not buffed at all i know

iron orchid
#

i searched a bit for myself, and couldn't find much more info, but I think it only applies to deadly poison (instant + DoT)

north basin
#

its not crystal clear from description for me. thats why wanted to clarify it

#

which one buffs what

iron orchid
#

so for instance, shiv covers all of your nature abilities, and dashing works on pretty much any of those too, master poisoner on both instant and dot parts of deadly poison, and lethal poison only applies to the instant part

north basin
#

ye now u got it. tnx

iron orchid
#

maybe there are people who know more about master poisoner around here, I don't know much about the talent either, I just tested it for myself

north basin
#

ye testing on dummy works best. but sometimes for me fastest way is to type few sentnces her

limber lion
#

It's bad.

#

Master Poisoner was good in Legion because our build was more poison focused with the overpowered poisons bomb and Kingsbane.

zinc frost
#

Master poisoner is good in pvp but that’s where it ends unfortunately

limber lion
#

But it hasn't seen much play after and is only used in pvp to amplify the poisons used there (wounding and crippling mainly)

zinc frost
#

Makes me wonder if legion timewalking will give us back artifacts and the abilities, so maybe we can use it again 😉

limber lion
#

Highly, highly doubt it.

#

:')

north basin
#

i just hope we wont be obligated to farm autoattack ring from court off stars

fallen arch
strange python
#

And mastery used to just buff poison damage

#

Could have like 180% mastery at the end of legion lol

cobalt pelican
#

nature damage is just regular magic damage, so chaos brand works on it just fine

#

pretty much everything is buffed by dh debuff which is why probably the most required of any buff

fallen arch
#

I still bot have a definitive answer on if that is the case? Are you sure?

#

I remember someone else saying it wasn’t the case

peak bobcat
#

If all I have is max unholy set is doom blade my best option besides Dash/frost?

#

I know a lot of the higher gear sims use Obedience just curious which I should prioritize

cobalt pelican
#

yes i am sure

#

if you want to check externally just run a quick sim with and without it enabled and observe the differences

fallen arch
#

Good idea

cobalt pelican
#

as a general rule though pretty much everything that's not physical is included, fusion amp damage phial damage poisons etc

#

outliers are rare but do happen, like winds of winter isn't affected i don't think (would have to actually check/test that though)

#

but as a baseline just assume it werk

cursive silo
#

Winds of winter is blacklisted from everything because of double dipping

#

As it stacks from damage you deal

pale plank
#

For zoldyck do u guys go Crit/mast or crit/haste?

tacit wedge
#

Crit/mast

#

Does Vendetta also works with system of blacklist/whitelist?

gusty mirage
#

yea

#

vendetta only affects our class abilities

tacit wedge
#

Thanks

north basin
#

hmm 2 246 sylva daggers worse than 2 252 dominas dagers.,. by 50 dps in frost gear (

plain thistle
#

yes, try 246 sylv dagger off hand

#

main hand 252 is probably better

misty edge
#

I hate how bad I always parse lol I feel like I’m playing well too but I just get blasted by the other rogue in our group every time

limber lion
#

Link your logs and we'll take a look

gray hazel
#

you can get sylv dagger from the vault right?

potent dagger
#

As long as you killed sylvanas at least once yes

plain thistle
#

it was rank2 when I got it, then I checked who was r1 pepechortle

fallen arch
plain thistle
#

he even wasted a combo point, what a noob

fallen arch
#

At Guardian you also have to be a little bit lucky with bombs I feel

#

I got like 4 of em last night which was really tilting

#

Of which 2 during shiv+vendetta

#

U cant make that shit up

tribal marlin
#

i mean you have to be lucky that's all xD

fallen arch
#

Nah that’s not what I’m saying, getting every round of mechanics just doesn’t help

brazen zodiac
#

I like ur pfp mikihisa

#

I miss sepsis

tribal marlin
#

The dude is doing a lot of heroic clear (boosting probably) there are kill where he will do 10k some where he will do 11.5k

#

I'm sure he's not playing differently every time

#

he do the same exact things

fallen arch
#

Yes ofc,

brazen zodiac
#

Doing mechs right and one shotting > getting good number on website :D

fallen arch
#

But he def tweaks here and there when it comes to timing

brazen zodiac
#

Can we cloak off the fragments?

tribal marlin
brazen zodiac
#

What is it then

#

Seems like that's what it'd always boil down to

tribal marlin
#

well @fallen arch noticed he had bad RNG regarding encounter mechanics during a very good pull of him.
And I just remind that Parsing and Ranking on WLC is kinda biased anyway because there are too much factors independant from your own personnal skills such as gear and rng

brazen zodiac
#

Oh absolutely haha

#

I can understand getting a lil tilting from getting frags like 4 times in a row but idk I kinda like getting/doing mechanics

#

Getting multiple bombs like that tho does kinda blow tho lmfao

#

Can always just shadowstep right after tho and if you're a goblin that's even better c:

tribal marlin
#

Idk, either you kill the boss multiple time in a row until you get the perfect pull and then you can complain that you played bad when all stars where align.
Either you don't do that, but then you can't really complain you get bad rng 😄

brazen zodiac
#

Haha

#

I feel like getting runes every time is the absolute worst

#

Again can we cloak off the fragments on the nine or am I just coping

tribal marlin
#

it will jump on someone else I think

brazen zodiac
#

That's what I thought honestly

tribal marlin
#

then that someoneelse will have to do the mechanic xD

brazen zodiac
#

But another outlaw rogue said that's what he did so I was curi-

#

oh my God lmfao

#

ahh it all makes sense now

tribal marlin
#

yeah then someone else do the mechanics insteed of him xD

brazen zodiac
#

that lil bitch gonna get a mouthful when he wakes up on god

fallen arch
#

Save cloak for other mechanics

brazen zodiac
#

yeah i can't imagine wasting it esp on mythic

fallen arch
#

Using it for fragments is trolling

brazen zodiac
#

sometimes them circle soaks can be sooo bad lmfal

tribal marlin
#

not like the encounter is difficult anyway

brazen zodiac
#

it is if ur drunk

#

fk that fight

tribal marlin
#

but like yeah I'd say "if you don't want to deal with mechanics and only want to hit a dummy, go to stormwind's dummy"

brazen zodiac
#

lmfao

magic gale
#

naked brawl in the guild, which spec do you guys reckon is the better one, sub or assa :D?

vestal wren
plain thistle
potent dagger
#

I was wondering if there is a huge difference in MM+ overall between obe and zoldyck

loud trench
oak sky
#

What else are you using it on tbh

#

Ig if you want to sac meteor

fallen arch
brazen zodiac
#

Can we cloak off the meteor?

mystic fractal
#

this is a zero brain cell question but -- how do you shadowcore oil offhand?

kind talon
#

Lmao

#

It will oil up your mainhand and then your offhand

#

On god

oak sky
#

Frfr

green ledge
#

Click shadowcore. If the bug happens where i does i on mainhand even tho its sharpened or whatever i put mainhand in bags and click shadow ore

kind talon
oak sky
#

I just want to say that ive cloaked off frqgments multiple times

#

Usually while on the marker

#

Usually

#

I like telling myself it helps healers because they have to do fewer dispells

wintry mica
oak sky
#

Yeah basically

wintry mica
#

I assume someone fucked up an earlier dispell and its on CD so i just cloak

#

worst case you get one of the bad overlap meteors and you can just sac yourself instead of soaking if the group needs it

real pewter
#

Does assassination just not scale well? Is that why we're so low on the charts now?

limber lion
#

Scaling

spice spire
oak sky
#

Low on charts?

stray mural
#

No idea what you mean. Assa is in the best spot it’s been since launch.

oak sky
#

9.0.5 was pretty sick

stray mural
#

I skipped 9.0.5

oak sky
#

Oh

kind talon
#

9.05 was best spot

oak sky
#

Well thats when we had the best st besides sp

kind talon
#

Sin was just the best dps

#

Insane

stray mural
#

I blame burnout for missing out on the glory

heavy coral

@stray mural Your blame is in the wrong place. Blame Blizz not burnout

obtuse robin
#

how do i grab a simc from gear compare

wintry mica
#

like to grab the simc for a specific item?

#

you should be able to run it and then open the raw input at the bottom I think

fallen arch
#

You still havent left that guild then?

pure moth
hollow talon
#

ferals are nuts bro

#

they pump super hard

#

no one plays them cause everyone loves boomkins

#

but they are pumpin this tier

arctic hare
#

Yeah...

#

I used to main feral, but I still will never play em again

loud mason
#

hey folks, short question
do we still use envenom/rupture at 4 combo points?

fierce hill
arctic hare
#

indeed

hollow talon
#

so like a rogue with no shroud and more damage

oak sky
#

Not only are they melee, but boomie brings roar for them and innervate

hollow river
#

@oak sky I believe i passed

oak sky
#

Lets go dude

hollow river
#

just need to finish farming Phial/get a 252 wep and i think we're chillin.

violet jackal
#

how much DPS am I losing by incorporating throw knife to always hit 5 point ruptures when needed

hollow river
#

No idea, but that's not really ever the play. Only throw knife when you can't hit the boss so you don't overcap on energy.

violet jackal
#

idk my parses are pretty solid currently averaging about 13 throw knives in melee range of boss pepechortle

real bay
#

dont do it FeelsWeirdManS

slim jay
balmy condor
#

but it's 100% not worth

#

not even close

violet jackal
#

hmmmmm

#

i need someone with a calculator on this one

subtle tundra
#

throw knife is extraordinarely bad

balmy condor
#

I can sim it later

#

but like

#

why

#

would you do that

slim jay
#

Dont need a calculator

violet jackal
#

5 point rupture with 99% sounds better than sometimes a 4 point sometimes a 5 point

balmy condor
#

what

slim jay
violet jackal
#

you asked why that is my reasoning

loud light
#

you know throw knife has a cost to press, right

balmy condor
#

the difference between 4 and 5 cp rupture

#

is linear

#

the tick damage

#

does not change

#

you're literally only getting extra time on your rupture

#

and you're wasting energy in the process

slim jay
violet jackal
#

wait they have to change a 4 point rupture is 5770 over 20 sec while a 5 point is 6924 over 24

balmy condor
#

yo

#

crazy

#

what

loud light
#

so you DO have a calculator after all

violet jackal
#

hmmmmmmmmmmm i did not know that

balmy condor
#

that's why every guide written in the last 6 years has suggested finishing on 4 cp

slim jay
loud light
#

the only reason you prefer higher-cp finishers over doing like 1 cp is energy efficiency since it costs the same and you'd need to refresh more frequently

#

but the diff between casting 4 and 5 is like 2 energy lost

#

and poisoned knife costs 40

balmy condor
#

also does absolute shit damage

soft shale
#

tbh old rupture worked like that

#

one of the best changes for assa tbh when they did away on that

frigid sleet
#

maybe with a poison knife new leggo this could be fun

soft shale
#

nononon

loud light
#

bring back that stacking buff azerite thing

soft shale
#

sharpened blades was not a funny gameplay

loud light
#

yeah that

#

lol

violet jackal
#

Whispyr has enlightned me I will be top 100 next week now

balmy condor
#

in general I wouldnt advise going again guides and sims

#

and feelcrafting things yourself

#

cause 99% of the time, it's wrong

oak sky
#

Poisoned knife peperogue

#

i've some strange DS sims Oo

#

telling me to go Nightstalker and Deeper Stat Oo For both Obedience and Zoldyck Oo

fleet anchor
timber acorn
#

is the frost domination set bonus or the unholy set bonus better for assassination? I keep seeing stuff about both being good but am unclear which one is more effective.

hollow river

#

okay. thank you

placid pagoda
#

Anyone know how to get the little arrows on your target for PlateR/

#

Plater? i'm using Ceverons rn

#

@limber lion any advice to this?

oak sky
#

maybe

#

target settings

#

target bracket?

placid pagoda
#

lemme look

oak sky
#

idk tho im not a plater expert

#

might be an added function

hollow river
placid pagoda
#

They dont stand out that much, i used another plater where youo had big arrows eitehr side

hollow river
#

Target Bracket Indicator: NONE

#

that was prolly KUI nameplates

potent dagger
oak sky
#

maybe you can download it or something liket that

balmy condor
potent dagger
#

Lol

#

I mean can i truly trust those sims ?

placid pagoda
#

@balmy condor any plater advice?

balmy condor
balmy condor
placid pagoda

#

OK thanks

#

Tought subt was better

balmy condor
#

it usually is for iron wire

#

but that whole row is pretty much a toss up damage wise

potent dagger
#

Oh OK thanks

limber lion
#

10.3k in HC Sylv p3

#

Can't wait for wednesday when I finally get my mythic dagger from the vault.

#

@limber lion any idea about getting arrows on ur plater profile?

limber lion
#

but you can use a mod to add arrow options

#

like this one

halcyon zealot
#

wtf

oak sky
#

cevvy going hard

limber lion
#

Didn't get any externals

#

I kinda wanna get a PI bot for some raid

#

would be pretty dank

oak sky
#

wheres the fun in that

limber lion
#

idk

#

big number good

#

bigger number, better person

oak sky
#

could be

#

ill kill mythic sylvanas eventually

Cev a beast dude. I thought my 8.3K in P3 was nasty.

#

Nopeeee.

#

If I want to push into higher keys (20+) is it best that I craft Zoldycks? Or can I get by with doomblade?

#

#

if you are playing sin in higher keys

idle star
#

Those who have mythic sylv on farm.. arent you bored out of your brains with this game?

upbeat needle
#

where do I buy sin coaching from

#

trying to get those 100s like Cev

#

stuck in 90+ range 😢

limber lion
#

I've done some coaching before.

upbeat needle
#

Cev

#

The man the myth the legend

#

take me under your wing

limber lion
#

There's times when you're bored, but then there's things that excite you about the game.

#

Raiding is still fun.

upbeat needle
#

I think a big thing is

#

raiding with people you enjoy

#

because a dogshit toxic guild will really make you not want to log in

#

so even farm becomes fun

#

when u play with chill ppl

#

but BACK TO THIS COACHING CEV

#

Where do I sign up and what's the fee

limber lion
#

Well it really depends on what you're looking for right

#

But you can hit me up in the dms if you're serious about it.

#

#

Okay boys. Gearing my second rogue now

#

The Phial grind commences. lol

#

Personnaly i just like to raid. I would stay stay in raid 100% of the time if i could

#

But sadly this game doesnt allow us to go mythic raid without beiing lock

alpine latch
#

@limber lion Crit/Mastery for Zoldyck since it's only used for m+ now? Or am I getting pulled into the Mastery trap?

alpine latch
#

I'm gearing my Alliance rogue now just to play with some friends

#

So I won't be raiding

sonic spire
#

If im looking at my logs and I want to check if im using bone spike only during gemstone windows, whats the easiest way to do that? I'd love if there was a way to mkae the chart show gemstone buff time in the same way it does bloodlust (like colored out when its up) and then look at casts but im not sure if thats possible?

balmy condor
#

it'll filter

sonic spire
alpine latch
#

Damn. For some reason I was thinking you could put Zoldyck on a cloak

obtuse robin
balmy condor
#

why do I have a ping

obtuse robin
#

he got scared and deleted it

oak sky
balmy condor
#

I see

oak sky
#

never back down

#

stick to your pings

obtuse robin
#

the question was

#

parsing is more then pressing buttons and rotation ?

#

something like that

balmy condor
#

what

sonic spire
#

He basically was clarifying that parsing is dependent not only on how well you play but also on things you cant really control ex) kill time, raid buffs, etc

slow marsh
#

This whole game is just pressing buttons

limber lion
#

who was it

#

Thanks all, I thought so, just didn't know for sure.

obtuse robin
#

any1 else spamming feedback to make ct baseline and make exsaguinate great again like me ?

#

for 9.1.5

dense hamlet
#

i mean there were some stuff with talents and stuff buffs or nerfs so might become true

#

WICKED ?

obtuse robin
#

if there was ever a time to convince blizz to give smoke bomb back its now

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

it would've been last tier

#

this tier we actually do damage

obtuse robin
#

true

#

tbh ill settle for just making dead talents viable

#

every couple weeks i have to hover over venom rush to remind myself what it does

oak sky
#

Theyre gonna take a look at talents

#

And decide that ele shaman needs some improvements

#

When it uses a bunch of different ones

#

Then neglect us

obtuse robin
#

so many things left on wishlist - ct baseline dead talents remove aoe cap

#

raid cd

oak sky
#

Aoe cap probably is 10.0

#

I think thats a good take

#

Too much rebalancing

#

I wouldnt even blame them for waiting on the aoe cap

obtuse robin
#

i think so to but then that makes legion m + akward doesnt it

oak sky
#

Idk

#

Ive heard that

#

Maybe they had the development time to decide to uncap some abilities

#

Which isnt even a bad direction

#

Some abilities actually do make sense capped, builders could make sense capped

obtuse robin
#

does blade fury capped make sense

#

ct seems like broken uncapped

full tendon
obtuse robin
#

uh

#

no?

#

idk

#

shiv feels way better then exsan that i remember

plain thistle
full tendon
#

I don't mean they do the same thing. Just meant it feels similar. Single target, medium-short cd, slight burst window. Tbh I think it'd feel weird to add exsang atm

obtuse robin
#

well thats the thing they would have to make it useful and make sense

#

theres stuff that just needs redesign

oak sky
#

They have to lower damage on somethings to make them uncapped

dawn ivy
#

for assassination? i doubt theyd have to lower any of our aoe damage if they uncapped it.

obtuse robin
#

ct and fok with deadly would be busted

dawn ivy
#

im an idiot, but i seriously think it wouldnt increase our damage by an absurd amount

#

it would certainly be alot better, but it wouldnt go out of control

balmy condor

#

Strange, never thought of that

#

9.1.5 talent buffs, what’s the Wishlist @balmy condor

oak sky
#

send him the doc

balmy condor
#

I personally would like to see MA go to 100% like it always should've been, wouldn't actually change the power level of the talent much considering we're at 40% atm

#

I also kind of want to see a blindside/ambush buff

#

not using ambush at all

#

is kinda weird

#

poison bomb buffs are needed as well imo

cursive spade
#

hey, does the necro legendary is worth doing?

balmy condor
#

crimson tempest being so close in single target

#

is real weird

balmy condor
cursive spade
#

i was wishing to do multispec

#

so it would be cheaper for me

obtuse robin
#

give pb like a 30 sec plus cd and we can drop it where we want

oak sky
#

please

#

yes

cursive spade
#

im between this and MA

balmy condor
#

are you raiding at all

oak sky
#

or make pb a finisher on cd like secret techniques or someth

cursive spade
balmy condor
#

deathspike probably fine

#

your single target will be dogshit

#

but such is life I guess

cursive spade
#

and what about MA, its better?

balmy condor
#

it's a pretty mediocre legendary for every spec, in every content

cursive spade
#

so i'll go with deathspike, thank u

How much do log reviews cost nowadays

balmy condor
#

cost?

#

people pay for log reviews?

bleak sky
balmy condor
#

I mean I've had people pay for coaching

#

but log reviews

bleak sky
#

sometimes their class discord is a shitshow

lavish lichen
#

I mean that’s arguably the biggest part of coaching someone tho

#

Reviewing their logs and telling them what to fix lol

hollow river
#

well with coaching ideally you'd watch them stream or a recording and point out flaws i assume

oak sky
#

i was gonna say log reviews take like a second and can only give pretty superficial tips

#

usually

lavish lichen
oak sky
#

a vod shows how they play

lavish lichen
#

So does a log

#

But yea sure it gives some different info

hollow river
#

depends also if its raid/dungeon coaching

fathom flax
#

If only this class discord was shit like some of the others we could be making gold

hollow river
#

others charge for log reviews?

all this pugging keys is literally going to rot my brain

#

slowly becoming fried

oak sky
#

i need to do that

fathom flax
#

I pugged a 16 mists last night and ended up at like 50% overall

oak sky
#

wdym 50%

#

like

#

half your groups total damage?

fathom flax
#

Yeah

oak sky
#

damn they must have been griefing

fathom flax
#

Which was fine I really didn’t mind they were a guild and it was the highest they’d done I just wanted my weekly done

oak sky
#

yeah solid

fathom flax
#

Nice people yknow

oak sky
#

for sure

indigo valley
#

Mostly a joke, just beating myself up in between prog wipes because the other rogue is beating me sometimes

#

I just want to be the very best I can be

fathom flax
#

Like no one ever was

indigo valley
#

exactly you get it

#

but seriously can anyone look over my nine/nerzhul logs and see if I'm messing anything up?
Or alternatively point me to some sources on how to better understand logs so I dont have to ask for help so often?

bleak sky
#

they're all log reviews with some pretty good advice

indigo valley
#

Where would I find those?

#

nvm i found them

#

look at me now dad

fathom flax
#

If you’ve only got 1 nerzhul kill I wouldn’t worry about it too much as prog kills are always low parsing

indigo valley
#

i am trialing tonight so it was my first kill ever

oak sky
#

most of it is probably not being used to the mechs and stuff then you would think

indigo valley
#

i think the big thing is going from orange/pink parses in heroic to blue/purple in mythic is a little demoralizing/sobering mainly

oak sky
#

better players in mythic as well

indigo valley
#

big sad 😦

fathom flax
#

Only one person got a purple log on the kill so it’s definitely a group thing and not just you

oak sky
#

im sure you're doing fine

bleak sky
#

first kill -> doesn't matter, get garbage logs but kill the damn boss

#

work on logs after you know where you can optimize stuff

fathom flax
#

Second kill -> 95+ parse or die

brazen zodiac
#

hey guys, may someone explain what this means? curious

oak sky
#

isnt that an intellect trinket

arctic walrus
#

correct

fathom flax

That’s an int trinket you can alter the proc on

It’s got nothing to do with rogues de

okie dokie thank you!

hello rookie question does lets say fan of knives proc the phial trinket 😅

oak sky
#

yeah

marsh yew
#

do you keep crimson tempest up in single target in mythic+?

prisma cypress
#

you don't necessarily keep it up but you do use it

#

it's better than envenom outside of shiv windows, assuming you'll get the full benefit of the bleed

what ilvl would the dagger from sylv be in lfr? 220?

they stood on the platform when raze went off too oh ma lawd

ask your raidteam why its important to not have the puddle dot on your during the sylvanas raid aoe in p3

#

i can gurantee that probably only 2-3 know the reason OMEGAKEKW

hollow river
#

you mean lfr or pugs

#

guess that could easily be both. lol

royal lantern
#

in general

#

even on mythic guild raids lol

hollow river
#

o.O

royal lantern
#

majority of people dont know mechanics and just do what the RL says

hollow river
#

that's

#

insane logic

fallen arch
#

I mean come on, we know that it’s bad. Don’t have to vent in this group about it

hollow river
#

ohh lol

fallen arch
#

I don’t think that’s the case in mythic guilds tho, it is probably in many aotc teams

cursive silo
#

it is

zinc frost
#

Definitely still heaps of people on autopilot in mythic guilds.

sonic schooner
#

i can tell u regarding my guild, we have basically 3 or 4 tourists who absolutely dont understand a fight even after 70 wipes and 2 downs. Mythic guild yep

#

just need a golden pull without them to have to deal with a mecanic kekw

bleak sky
#

well yeah, there's still a range on mythic guilds lol

ruby oyster
#

starting m soulrender tonight, does dashing and CT makes any sense? or should i pick something else? i have doomblade 262 and obedience 235

sturdy mesa
#

Doomblade should be gucci tbh

bronze fiber
cursive silo
#

if you go dashing there's no point going CT for the ST

ruby oyster
#

so either doomblade+ct or dashing and pb?

#

i guess i have to see how fast we can deal with adds if my help is needed at all

cursive silo
#

yea sure you go CT if you're on the adds

#

or if they live a while

#

I kinda assume guilds blast the adds like mine but maybe they won't

ruby oyster
#

i think we shouldnt have problems with adds as long we can stack them nicely. no bdk tho (or low ilvl alt) so im just trying to be ready for both scenarios

cursive silo
#

i think just go CT and you'll see

ruby oyster
#

ok, thanks

digital zodiac
#

SGT or 252 OH from vault...
252 Ocular gland sims best, thing i should just take OH and wait until I get Ocular from mythic?

#

(already using 252 phial) with 239 ocular / fusion amplifier

hollow river
#

SGT pretty stronk

#

Ocular easy to get if you’re already farming the Eye

#

Idk what all could replace SGT if it’s 252, maybe only mythic fusion amp?

fallen arch
#

Ye

#

Or Phial if you don’t have one

hollow river
#

He’s got 252 phial

fallen arch
#

Oh ye I see

hollow river
#

But wouldn’t a heroic sylvanas dagger replace a 252 OH

#

Even if only by a little bit

fallen arch
#

I think the only thing that beats SGT is a 252 fusion amp

hollow river
#

Yeah same for on use

fallen arch
#

For sub yes

hollow river
#

Wtf really

fallen arch
#

For sin it’s close

hollow river
#

I’ve seen sims but H EoN was only like +50

#

Guess it’s different for everyone peeposhrug

digital zodiac
#

i had a sim but for some reason its not available any more

fallen arch
#

Just checked, I have a 246 thorn in offhand and hc EoN is only a 19 dps upgrade for me

#

Kinda w/e

gusty mirage
#

I should probably resim and see if that’s still the case

lavish lichen
#

Check for proper enchants

gusty mirage
#

Enchants are le proper I assure you

#

But my 233 out simmed my 246 crit/mastery and my 246 haste/vers daggers by like 18 dps

fallen arch
#

Oh wait I didn’t sim with enchant on OH

#

Brb

fallen arch
gusty mirage
#

I’m going to go with magic

#

It makes the most sense

umbral sandal
#

Yo! So when I do my opener I do mutilate > SnD >mutilate > Garrote > Rupture> Flagellation > Vendetta > Shiv > Vanish > mutilate > Envenom and so on.

#

Is this right?

#

Could I change something?

fallen arch
#

Flag before rupt

umbral sandal
#

So I should be doing Mutilate > SnD > mutilate > Garrote > Flag> Rupture> Vendetta > Shiv > vanish > mutilate > envenom

fallen arch
#

Ye looks good

#

Maybe vendetta after shiv

#

And then vanish

umbral sandal
#

Ye I can try that too

#

ty

#

Ok just tried it and it feels way better tbh

Good!

But sylvie no wanna give me dagger pepehands

I got chest and ring same night

Hahah

Just gimme that sweet sweet edge of night so I can stop running heroic already

hollow river
#

I’m telling you man

#

Ready to be done with hc

#

Still no hc amp

gusty mirage
#

My guild does sales every Monday sadge

hollow river
#

We’re supposed to start

gusty mirage
#

My guild hasn’t seen one amp omegalul

hollow river
#

Soon

gusty mirage
#

They’ve cleared heroic since week 2

#

0 amps in the guild

hollow river
#

I think we have to do some normals first

gusty mirage
#

If they got it it was from the vault

hollow river
#

We gotta boost some normals for logs with carries with no wipes

gusty mirage
#

Also if the eye could stop giving us 3 trinkets every time we kill it

#

That’d be swell

hollow river
#

And then we’re clear for hc boosting

O.o

Wow

#

Only piece of gear I got from mythic were boe pants

#

That I had to pay the guild for ???

hollow river
#

15 kills each boss?

gusty mirage
#

3 each boss

hollow river
#

??????????????

#

Pay the guild for?

gusty mirage
#

Lmao they made me pay for them bro

#

I was like bruh

hollow river
#

No way

hollow river
#

Is that the rule in your guild?

digital zodiac
#

this was the sim

gusty mirage
#

It’s whatever I have the gold

#

I had 246s

#

So it wasn’t an absolute upgrade

hollow river
#

Last guild I trialed with was like that

#

They take boe’s and give us back 50%

digital zodiac
#

depends.. if they use BOEs to buy consumes for the guild for.. i think its fine

gusty mirage
#

It’s whatever it was a small amount

hollow river
#

Just weird to me idk

gusty mirage
#

Much less than the 250k they were selling for on the AH

hollow river
#

Maybe not to some

#

True

digital zodiac
#

all gold to 1 person, or to the guild that can provide the raid with consumes for free

gusty mirage
#

Yea they provide 2 cauldrons, vantus and augment runes, and feasts and pots

hollow river
#

True true

gusty mirage
#

So it probably saved me gold in the long run

digital zodiac
#

ye

hollow river
#

I started professions this weekend

#

Making gold off alchemy kinda pog

gusty mirage
#

I’ve been lw/engineering since wrath

#

So I’ve made exactly zero gold off professions on my rogue

strange python
#

what do people tend to be simming for at 248-250 ilvl currently?

#

my assa sims for just above 10k but my outlaw is simming for like 11k so I'm not sure it's ever worth me playing it

hollow river
#

At 242 with dashing I sim at 10k

#

And my outlaw sims around 9.6-9.8k

#

248-250 should be closer to if not passed 11k if I’m not mistaken

#

Kyrian?

strange python
#

yeah kyrian

hollow river
#

That might have a little something to do with it, shouldn’t be 1k difference though

strange python
#

shouldn't be 1k behind ye

hollow river
#

I know nothing about kyrian soulbinds

strange python
#

I mean my rings and neck aren't good for assa but

#

they aren't the worst

hollow river
#

You’re still geared as hell tho

strange python
#

crit stacked with vers

hollow river
#

Hmm

#

Frost r5?

strange python
#

r4

hollow river
#

Can’t see from phone

strange python
#

r5 next week :p

hollow river
#

Well that’s 200-300 dps

#

But prolly just as much for outlaw

strange python
#

it's also 200-300 dps on outlaw too which just moves the gap up haha

#

yeah

hollow river
#

Yeah lol

#

Umm

#

Maybe dashing kyrian isn’t the play?

strange python
#

I'm just going with kleia because that's what in assa-faq

#

looks ok

hollow river
#

Did you sim other 262s?

#

True

#

Bs/ds

#

Is 100+ dps with dashing usually

#

For me at least

strange python
#

I'll give that a try

cobalt pelican
#

sim seems about right for your gear and covenant

hollow river
#

I’ve been trying to get outlaw to sim higher

#

I even have better weapons for outlaw

inland garnet
#

Is it worth to Swap back to Necrolord for me? I swapped to Venthyr because i wanted to give Sub a try for a Patch but its unbelievably boring for me personally and i mainly do Mythic+

strange python
#

I wonder how much loss it is in-game compared to outlaw, cuz I feel like outlaw tends to slightly oversim but idk

strange python
#

assa rogues can sim a fair bit lower and still be equal in damage, and I parse high as outlaw so

strange python
nova flax
#

or necro outlaw even

cobalt pelican
#

simming deeper blindside is kinda pointless tbh since it's not really played anywhere

#

i think you'd prolly do equally well as sin, but there's some really basic stuff you can move around for gains if you have valor

#

like pf ring just valored no socket is probably like 70 dps or something lol

hollow river
strange python
#

ye it seems it

#

because of the crit it gives for frost

hollow river
#

Big thing that was holding my outlaw sims back was soulbinds Draven instead of Theo/Nadjia

strange python
#

I'll probably valor my ring next week unless I can get the nine/painsmith ring on mythic

#

I have enough to socket it too when I get any of them

cobalt pelican
#

pf ring is definitely better than the nine ring

hollow river
#

Yeah

cobalt pelican
#

and if you get the painsmith one you'd want both anyway

#

but ye

#

stuff like that comes from playing the spec for a while

hollow river
#

Cev was saying 259 sylv ring and arachnid ring are bis

cobalt pelican
#

small decisions add up to sizable dps over time, like making outlaw decisions on things

strange python
#

what neck would you say is bis?

hollow river
#

Halls is decent iirc

strange python
#

I assume KT mythic is bis right?

hollow river
#

Kt yea

#

Think so

#

Could be wrong

cobalt pelican
#

kt m yeah

#

remnant m is probably slightly better than the spires one you have

drowsy parcel
#

the sims in the bis profile shit is using the remnant neck

#

but its probably a toss up between kt and remnant

cobalt pelican
#

the default profile uses the kt m one

hollow river
#

Remnant neck is the crit vers ye?

cobalt pelican
#

yes

hollow river
#

Idk what the sims use

cobalt pelican
#

the default profile uses kt, but it doesn't really matter

hollow river
#

Ik depending on your set up, either could be better

cobalt pelican
#

very little thought goes into the profiles

#

they're not intended to be bis lists

hollow river
#

Right

cobalt pelican
#

just templates to sim from

hollow river
#

Ye

strange python
#

remnant neck is just heavily crit stacked

cobalt pelican
#

but i doubt in your current gear it looks like this

#

when you hit r5 frost things start tipping weirdly

hollow river
#

Yeah I’ve got lower haste with my sin set up and 43-45% crit

#

Pretty wild

strange python
#

I've got a while to gear my assa I guess, I just want it ready to play for sylvanas

#

it's probably a lot better than outlaw there right?

hollow river
#

Just from what I’ve seen, yeah. Not experienced enough to say 100%

strange python
#

there's a fair bit of downtime that makes outlaw just suffer a lot

hollow river
#

Yeah I was curious why it suffers so much more

#

I guess less CDR?

digital zodiac
hollow river
#

Not constantly recycling CDs like a fight like guardian

strange python
hollow river
#

I’ve heard sub is good for sylvanas too with its CDs

strange python
#

if you added periods of downtime to a sim of outlaw vs assa you'd definitely see outlaw lose

hollow river
#

Assa just the safe play though

strange python
#

I suck at sub and I enjoy assa anyway so I'm happy to play assa

strange python
digital zodiac
#

how much % crit do we want for the frost build then? Ill be at maybe 42% if i dont have ocular

hollow river
hollow river
#

Sim yourself for best results.

cobalt pelican
#

ram ended up playing outlaw on sylv

#

think sin is just the go-to though

digital zodiac
#

yeee its not even much DPS between them 🤣 just the choice is killing me!

hollow river
#

How did ram do?

cobalt pelican
#

fine kinda

hollow river
#

I never had the chance to tune in

cobalt pelican
#

it just can't offer the same boss dam either of the other specs can

hollow river
#

Was usually at work

cobalt pelican
#

but he did 8.6k p3 which is like

#

very respectable

#

not insane, but decent

#

#

i said it'd be better than his spires neck

but i think it is probably better for a lot of people for now

#

if they aren't disgutting ocular gland gamers

#

and with some other gear

#

only 6 more weeks till i get r5 frost.. any day now..

late birch
#

Anyone ever try squeezing in 2 flagellation in p2 mythic painsmith? Then lining it up with vendetta in p3?

arctic walrus
chrome trout
#

Why are there so many necro assa rogues if it sims much worse than venth?

arctic walrus
#

Because not everyone strictly only cares for assa and how much it sims for. People like the flexibility of other covenants for outlaw etc

chrome trout
#

I've seen assa one tricks going necro, and they basically don't play keys other than 4-10 weeklies

#

and obviously I don't strictly care only for how much it sims, which is why I'm asking here in the first place

gusty mirage
#

sbs is a fun ability

#

and fleshcraft is super nice to have

drowsy parcel
#

ive been onetricking assa this patch and i play necro

#

i feel like necro is better on every fight except guardian

random fossil
#

sbs fun, flag no fun

drowsy parcel
#

250 dps difference on single target sure but only guardian is single target

#

and also more fun

gusty mirage
#

plus some people want a covenant signature ability that's not useless outside of korthia

lavish lichen
#

Yea sbs is much more engaging gameplay than Flag

fallen arch
#

And fleshcraft is bae too

#

Especially super valuable in m+

lavish lichen
#

Much more minor imo, you’re already unkillable as a rogue in m+

quaint carbon

#

hey folks. any quick advice for soulrender mythic dps wise? worth to DoT up small adds?

#

How does everyone value Obediance vs Doomblade? They basically sim the same for me as Assa and I have both maxed.

#

Are there some fights where one would be better then the other?

lavish lichen
#

CDR isn’t always great in fights that have intermissions or fights with long downtime (KT) so that’s worth considering

What is better Sharpening stone+oil or just 2 oils on weapons, to get more damage from potion of phantom fire in raid?

kind talon
#

!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

fallow estuary
#

is there a way to move slyvanas myth?

#

we noticed that shes at different positions in kill videos

#

and jumps weirdly for us to inconvinient places

marble hemlock
#

What phase?

rotund moat
#

Aprox what value secondaries should i am for as assassination?
+- 20% haste
??% crit
??% vers
??% mastery

fallow estuary
#

phase 1

marble hemlock
#

In p3 her positioning is a bit dumb, as it largely depends on whether she decides to do the mythic tank mechanic. P1 you mostly bait her position with the veil bait

fallow estuary
#

so if you veil bait the same she'll allways jumps to the same position?

#

aight, thanks :)

marble hemlock
#

P1 veil can only go on ranged, yeah

#

So if they stack in a certain position, she'll always go there

Do i have to oil both my weapons or it doesnt make any sense?

#

Yw

undone eagle
#

but since it says in the text'' your weapon'' which means single weapon , then I guess 1 oil is enough to make this 10% dmg 25 sec active

#

cuz i wanna do 1 oil 1 sharp 😄 just curious if i had to oil both weapons to gain this 10% dmg 25 sec

Hello. Is it okay to finish at 4 cp in flag or shiv window? I usually find myself in situation where I don't have enough energy to pump these 5 cp finishers in these windows

you always finish at 4

4 or 5 if using vigor

Ah. Thanks. So I was inting for the whole time : D

on nerzul mythic how do you guys play malevolance if you are on the ouitside

and do you face to the platform or away ?
