hollow river
#

are you sure you're turning on the set bonus in the sim?

brazen zodiac
#

hey guys, im trying to sim rn but i cant switch my lethal poison to WPS. anyone know if and how i can change it in the code?

hollow river
#

oh no you mean conduits

#

should be a soulbind tree at the bottom

#

you can tick the box to unlock all conduits

#

and you can hard lock them to a certain ilvl as well

brazen zodiac
#

no i meant i'm trying to run a quicksim/droptimizer and i need to change my shit to WPS from lethal poison

#

like change it in the code

#

unless that changes it lmfao

@brazen zodiac

#

The 9th bracket along is 252 WPS

#

238:9:0 just paste there where your LP is

brazen zodiac
#

ah thank u very much

#

conduit energy bullshit kinda lame ;p

fathom flax
#

As the resident low effort raider I’ve never struggled

#

Set and forget

brazen zodiac
#

i switch from raid to m+ all the time haha

#

and pvp

#

i cant rly think of a good argument as to why they have it there in the first place but idk ;p

oak sky
#

do u play different specs a lot?

#

because you could always just set up theotar for some stuff

brazen zodiac
#

nah i only play sin but i just like constantly testing.

#

i dont use theo for m+ but i kinda want to. sims say its def better but i forgot how to sim/advance sim the theo tea shit. dont really know if i should follow top gear sims with that vs advanced.

oak sky
#

i definitely wouldnt know how to do that

#

probably agi tea and crit are good

#

tbh i dont know which ones there are

brazen zodiac
#

i just remember simming it once for my ST and it said vers was ahead by like 40 so idk.

oak sky
#

yeah

#

you probably would mostly want theotar for dungeons anyway

#

theyre probably all pretty good

brazen zodiac
#

honestly probs

#

ill try it out ig

terse talon
#

damn its nice doing m+ after a week of spiteful 😄

dark token
#

mfw i accidentally equipped obedience for all of prog

#

LMAO

#

not the worst i suppose

dark token
#

ye but i have same ilvl dashing

#

when i go back to it my flagellation timings will be messed up

#

since i did 30 pulls of obedience and got used to it

#

actually this was fatescribe

#

i went obedience + CT thats actually pretty good

#

vs dashing + poison bomb

fathom flax
#

@brazen zodiac I have Theo set up for m+ and it’s super good like

dark token
#

make sure you skip the potency conduit for the group vers

#

sleeper op

#

especially with obedience

brazen zodiac
#

what u take?

#

@fathom flax

solar latch
#

he guys, should I go Nadjia this week for m+ cuz of tyranic?

royal lantern
#

eh, not really

#

you still spend most of the time doing adds

#

and like, the difference bettwen nadjia and theo is not THAT big for st aswell

wanton creek
#

is outlaw venthyr terrible or just not optimal

rocky pecan
#

it's bis ST i think not 100% sure

placid pagoda
#

Reckon it’s worth going back venth for extra 150 dps?

placid pagoda
amber quail
#

How much haste you usually sit in Raid?
I think I need to recalibrate my stats...

prisma lark
#

In M+, do I prefer SBS uptime > LBE uptime? Was wondering if I want to get 3 sbs out asap or delay them to have LBE for the entire duration of packs.

drowsy parcel
#

probably sbs uptime

#

have you considered marileth over emeni

prisma lark
#

I did play marileth before, but wanted to try out emeni

#

I assume sbs uptime too, but I wonder if somebody has the exact info on that

#

which also might affect the decision, we're 2 melees + tank

ornate dawn
wind totem
#

If I pick CT for a fight like Soulrender. How do I play with CT when it's just the boss? Do I still keep it up? Where does it lie on the priority order?

#

Also what does my opener as venthyr look like with ct?

shadow tusk
#

You Keep it up as a dot on st outside shiv Windows

wind totem
#

What about my opener? How does it change?

shadow tusk
#

Same applies ct after your shiv

iron geode
#

when doing big pulls in m+ is there such thing as too many ruptures, i feel i lose out on dps with having to cast so much

feral wasp
#

planning to switch to necro from venthyr, please stop me 😄

gusty mirage
#

But tyran weeks like this, if the mobs aren’t going to live super long I wouldn’t bother spreading so many ruptures simply because the trash is going to just melt

steep hamlet
#

So I never played any legion , is there any like giga op trinkets or something that I should be looking out for when they do the time limited M+ thing?

#

or have they said that you cant use the loot in like actual content

cursive silo
#

People will talk about it when it drops

#

For now we dunno

steep hamlet
#

I see

spice spire
#

Just the ring thus far

steep hamlet
vocal edge
#

10% auto attack damage from I think CoS

spice spire
cursive silo
#

We don’t know if it works lol

spice spire
#

Hence the “thus far”

burnt star
#

Also remember we will have 2 week of legion timewalking

#

As oppose to the normal 1 week

#

Will.give more time.to farm what u want

fair void
#

hi guys can you tell me what build should i use in m+ as sin?

spice spire
#

But I’ve also done dungeons in full ST mode. The only evergreen thing is that you’ll always run crimson tempest

spice spire
#

No worries happybear

brazen zodiac
#

hey everyone, is there an easier way to sim food crit, haste, and feast in top gear? all in one go?

keen flint
#

R3 frost or R5 unholy?

cursive silo
#

!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

cursive silo
#

@brazen zodiac ^

spice spire
#

And also are you looking for the right now or the potential

keen flint
#

potential is frost for sure

#

but

brazen zodiac
#

thx couldnt remmeber the command

keen flint
#

I just upgrade unholy too fast

spice spire
#

I’d just recommend simming it for the now 😛 a lot of factors in determining if frost is the best for rn

alpine latch
#

@spice spire run PF with me and give me Phial?

#

😢

spice spire
#

When you need it papi?

#

I’m free whenever

#

This weekend*

alpine latch
#

I've ran like 12 PFs so far this week

spice spire
#

That’s pain monkaW

#

I had to run 31 for mine

alpine latch
#

I've only seen one drop this entire season and they couldn't trade it

bleak sky
#

that's a big sad

spice spire
#

But I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy

alpine latch
#

I ran 10 in the last 2 nights.

#

Everyone thinks I hate m+ and yet I run a good bit of it... lol

spice spire
#

But I already have 246. So yeah I’ll message you my bnet and you can just hmu whenever you need a funnel king

alpine latch
#

I'm considering just buying funnel runs and saying eff it

spice spire
#

And I’ll ping you when my group gets

alpine latch
#

Works for me. I have raid tonight and I'll be intoxicated af

bleak sky
#

if you don't have 4 trinket friends that's not bad tbh

spice spire
#

LMFAO

alpine latch
#

Like half of our raid is out this week for different things so there's only 11 of us. We're doing a drunk heroic run

#

And calling this week a wash

slow marsh
#

Horde?

alpine latch
#

yeah

slow marsh
#

Or ally

alpine latch
#

Horde

slow marsh
#

Rip I never get to help anyone lol

alpine latch
#

Oh, don't worry.. My alliance needs it too

#

lol

#

My Horde is what I raid on. My Alliance is an alt I run keys with

#

My Vanilla guild still plays Alliance. I don't raid with them but I do keys and hang out with them a lot

#

Sadly my Alliance rogue got Edge of Night before my Horde did, but they both happened within two days of each other.

slow marsh
#

Nice. I thought about leveling a horde rogue to have two but after thinking about it it doesn't make sense for me

alpine latch
#

I called in a favor and got a one-time-only carry through SoD

#

And I picked up 3 Dom sockets and Edge

slow marsh
#

Nice

alpine latch
#

Luckiest run I've ever had

slow marsh
#

I just had my little bro run heroic with me last night on his boomie and got him like 5 pieces of loots so yeah the carry can be real

alpine latch
#

That's awesome.

slow marsh
#

Yeah I was happy about it. It'll be nice having a good boomie for once instead of shitters

I know someone linked a WA for embers yesterday, does anybody has that WA? Bcz I can’t find it anymore

cobalt pelican

have you tried typing the word ember into wago

#

But there ya go laddy

#

It opens when u open the currency tab

pale plank
#

TY

arctic hare
#

So glad I found that quaking tracker

rocky rain
#

^ Can someone confirm for me what happened here from 1:25 - 1:35. I get thrown back, shadowstep in and instadie to a frontal

#

I thought at the time the tank must have spun the boss during the cast so I shadowstep behind and then get hit

#

But it looks like it just shadowstepped me in front?

cobalt pelican
#

you'd need more than a wcl replay to glean any information from this

rocky rain
#

Well you can see the tank that the boss is targetting doesn't move, you can see the direction the boss is facing doesn't move, you can see I shadowstep at the front and instadie

#

But that's not supposed to happen?

#

Does shadowstep sometimes put you in front? or is there something weird with that boss?

ruby birch
#

@rocky rain on phone so I can't watch, what did you die to

#

Suffering?

#

If so, sub 80% his helmet will start casting suffering through him. This is indicated by a white line, it is possible you got hit by that instead

rocky rain
#

It's possible, but I don't think you can see where the helm is on the replay. It still shadowsteps me pretty much onto the tank though

#

When I should be the other side

#

This is where I end up, right on the tank and right where the boss is looking. Our feral also seems to wild charge to the wrong side

#

weird

cobalt pelican
#

the damage source wasn't from the helm, but realistically you cannot see direction boss is facing in wcl replay accurately

#

like using the cones is pointless

rocky rain
#

Sure, but isn't he looking at the tank?

dense hamlet
#

well boss faces the current tank while casting sufferng

#

if its not in animation of random shit

#

it faces the current tank

cobalt pelican
#

wow really thanks i didn't know that

dense hamlet
#

well

#

then what ur saying didnt make sense

#

u wcl dosent have to show were boss is facing

rocky rain
#

The blood DK has aggro so he should be facing pretty much where the red cone is

#

afaik

dense hamlet
#

yes

#

well red cone couldve been wrong but ye if he has agro

#

boss is facing him

rocky rain
#

Also neither the blood DK, boss and me don't move after shadowstep

#

Just very weird

#

But no one is saying it's common, so maybe just a random one off

cobalt pelican
#

bosses can micro-turn around

#

shadowstep is not bugged

#

that's why i said you'd need more than a wcl replay

#

because it won't record accurately what happened

#

realistically even if this was common nobody would notice it because you never have to step during suffering-end assuming the fight is played correctly anyway

rocky rain
#

We had a dispell right before

#

Perhaps poorly timed 😛

cosmic sandal
#

hey lads, opener question as sin- Mutilate
Slice and Dice
Mutilate
Garrote
Rupture
Vendetta
Shiv
Vanish
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom

#

Should i throw i mutilate to 4 before i vanish

neon pasture
#

That's just bad dispell y, dispell should happen straight after suffering cast

rocky rain
#

Flag before rupture if you have it

#

muti til 4 CPs will probably only need one muti because of crits

cosmic sandal
#

yeah true

rocky rain
#

But yeah, don't muti to full before vanish

cosmic sandal
#

should i mut - vanish -enven, mut enven?

rocky rain
#

crit buff on muti is a little better than crit buff on enven

cosmic sandal
#

to utilise MA

prisma cypress
#

is it? thats surprising

neon pasture
#

Difference is minimal

rocky rain
#

because both hands can crit

#

and you get CPs

neon pasture
#

On pull you do mut-env-mut, later in the fight you can env-mut-env if it fits, doesn't matter

rocky rain
#

So yeah, what you posted first is great. Just throw flag in if you have it

cosmic sandal
royal cliff
#

sorry for the nub question boys, my sin rogue is my second alt--is there ever a time that it makes sense to run poisoned katar in dungeons for fort weeks?

#

or in general i suppose

runic maple
#

does ct change my single target opener? I know I shldnt ct during shiv window

spice spire
#

For conduits the FAQ covers it a bit 😛

spice spire
runic maple
#

cool

slow marsh
runic maple
#

so in my opener after I rupture > vendetta, I pool cp and shiv before vanishing for a envenom - mut - envenom combo, is this not optimal? ive seen some ppl using shiv after vannish so im confused

heavy vessel
#

the other day someone posted a screen grab of an APM chart from simcraft. Anyone know where I could find the full chart?

plain thistle
#

but always shiv before vanish, never saw anyone doing shiv during vanish window

undone eagle
#

Excuse me what do they mean with expected value and best drop?

#

if Edge of night means its my best drop to get +109 dps then what is +27 dps expected value supposed to mean?

cursive silo
#

Expected value is the average of every item the boss can loot

undone eagle
#

sorry, i dont get it 😦

cursive silo
#

Like for fatescribe its the dps of the head+the wrists+the ring /3

#

Just don’t look at it its not really important info

undone eagle
#

aaaa i see

#

because i only focus on the items that give mes + %

#

me *

#

so best drop is the way to focus on

#

cheers!

#

Only 1 sad part about droptimizer is that , for example, my current boots are 252 but no dom socket, but when I do droptimizer it includes only dom sockets to the current items with socket, instead i just have to solo sim it on gear compare :l

cursive silo
#

Just get dom sockets everywhere lol

undone eagle
#

im trying but it never drops xD

#

unfortunately i was on long vacation when 9.1 released

trim halo
#

Obedience is a good all round legendary for a venthyr assassination rogue? Just an alt but I wanna craft something worthwhile. I've looked around a bit and seen some conflicting information

#

Or I haven't understood the information

#

You know how us druid mains can be

runic maple
#

we wld want to line up vendetta and vanish with shiv, but whats like the max amount of seconds for shiv to be rdy that we delay vendetta and vanish?

gusty mirage
frosty cedar
#

don't delay vendetta and vanish for shiv, delay shiv for Vendetta and vanish, about 10seconds or so iirc

lavish lichen
gusty mirage
#

^

lavish lichen
#

Also what zhan said is wrong if Im not mistaken

trim halo
#

@gusty mirage thanks

lavish lichen
#

You RARELY delay short CDs because you lose usages

gusty mirage
#

np whispyrheart

lavish lichen
#

Delaying longer CDs doesn’t always lose you a usage

gusty mirage
#

@trim halo like for example, I use obe for my sin m+ keys, and sub m+ and raid (when I do run sub in raid)

runic maple
#

but if I use shiv on cd, my 5th shiv wld technically be 5 sec after vendetta is up so I wld always delay vendetta and vanish for shiv no? @frosty cedar

gusty mirage
#

you can hold shiv if vendetta will be up in less than 10s

trim halo
#

@gusty mirage oh it's good for sub too? Hadn't even looked that far

runic maple
#

alrite

trim halo
#

done and done

gusty mirage
#

yeah I run obe for sub keys, and only really switch to finality for dos

#

🙂

#

and even then

#

you can just run obe the entire time

trim halo
#

thanks again

lavish lichen
#

Finality is dos is for the pad

gusty mirage
#

still get smoked sadgecry

lavish lichen
#

Yea I “main” ele

#

But stopped

#

Shit is waaay too boring

#

CL CL ES CL CL EQ

gusty mirage
#

reminds me of sub in m+

lavish lichen
#

Repeat for 15k overall

gusty mirage
#

Shuriken Storm -> BP for 40 minutes

lavish lichen
#

Yea basically sub

quaint carbon
lavish lichen
#

Except sup is interesting in cleave

gusty mirage
lavish lichen
#

And ST

#

Ele is boring in both of those with the AOE build

#

With SE you just spam LB and spenders in ST

gusty mirage
#

my ele sham never got past level 30 kekg

#

my brain no workie with the casters

lavish lichen
#

in raid it’s a lot of fun with the ST build

#

You are SOOO mobile

#

Kind of insane

gusty mirage
#

I just miss loads of GCDs

#

cause I just forget to keep casting

#

lmao

#

I'm an actual ape though

lavish lichen
#

Yea I had to get a GCD bar for casters

#

Helps massively with uptime

gusty mirage
#

I'll have to try that out

#

maybe I'm destined to be a caster

lavish lichen
#

And with movement during instant casts

#

Your true calling

spice spire
lavish lichen
#

I mean the damage isn’t great but that’s just tuning

#

It’s still fun (imo ofc) in say 3 target cleave

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

Oh true true

#

The 4 dps rupture

gusty mirage
#

check your cleave privilege exsangery

lavish lichen
#

Keeping up rupture and find weakness is kinda cool idk

spice spire
#

Aoe check though pepehands

rigid pine

spice spire
#

If no dr on bleeds Sinscheme

gusty mirage
#

idk how they would do that

#

with their spaghetti code

lavish lichen
#

Wdym dr?

spice spire
#

(There’s 100% going to be dr on bleeds)

#

Diminishing returns

lavish lichen
#

I know what it is

#

Why

spice spire
#

So like past 5 hit, your initial damage drops

#

But will it for bleeds too?

gusty mirage
#

I'm assuming it'll only affect the initial CT hit

#

which is no one gives a shit about anyway

rigid pine
#

Isn't everything that got uncapped gonna be sqrt?

gusty mirage
#

yea

spice spire
#

I feel like that’s GIGA busted tho lol

lavish lichen
#

Has it been confirmed to be sqrt?

gusty mirage
#

that's why I think sin stonks are going to rise

spice spire
#

Like surely it’ll be dr’d too

gusty mirage
#

afaik they're mimicking the way starfall works now

spice spire
#

If not sin stonks do indeed rise

rigid pine
spice spire
#

Oh

#

No

lavish lichen
#

I hope sin is too shit for m+

cerulean nest
#

how much extra dotting do you guys do on soulrender adds besides CT?

lavish lichen
#

Actually fun spec in aoe imo

gusty mirage
#

@cerulean nest I throw a 3-4cp rupture on the big add

spice spire
#

Sin is hella fun in aoe

gusty mirage
#

but besides that full send on soulrender

cerulean nest
#

thats what I figured, ty

rigid pine
spice spire
#

I do two bleeds because I’m an ape

#

Plus CT

gusty mirage
#

we have 2 WW monks

#

not worth putting anything up on the small adds

spice spire
#

Oh

gusty mirage
#

they absolutely melt

#

its hilarious

spice spire
#

Yeah not worth then LMFAO

lavish lichen
spice spire
#

Oxi got to watch most of an absolute banger SoA last night that was nonstop inting rooSuffer1

dude

rigid pine
gusty mirage
#

they pulled the pack in front of soggadon

#

what kinda ape shit is that

spice spire
#

My kind of goon shit

gusty mirage
#

Just stealth up, mount on mammoth

lavish lichen
#

Flag is soooo boring jfc

gusty mirage
#

kick off a vendor

#

and have them use that

lavish lichen
#

Im currently kyrian

gusty mirage
#

4head

lavish lichen
#

Havent played sin in m+ with it tho

#

Prob not great

gusty mirage
#

its residentsleeper

#

bone spike is SIGNIFICANTLY more engaging than flag in aoe

rigid pine
#

I was kyrian in 9.0, not a fan of that overall either kekw

spice spire
#

We wiped 6 times to devos because people were aping out kekg

lavish lichen
#

SBS is really good gameplay wise

gusty mirage
#

I asked you to bring my monk

#

and you wouldn't

#

thats your fault

spice spire
#

Should have

#

Unluckers

gusty mirage
#

239 veinripper now

#

straight pumping

#

spin to win

#

boss dam is caca though

spice spire
#

When my monk goes “I used my cds on boss” I just ask him why?

gusty mirage
#

because you do negative damage without CDs

#

like you actually heal the boss

spice spire
#

Just blast the pack kekg

#

Me do boss damage

#

Except inga and globgrog

#

Fuck those bosses

lone junco
#

@balmy condor is there any guidance posted for holding vendetta etc for Chaos Bane alignments?

#

was looking at our arms warrior and the Unholy timing is super awkward.

balmy condor
lone junco
balmy condor
#

Not hasted

#

It’s just bullshit

lone junco
#

cause this segment on Sylvannas immune is gross

#

I'm heal lead, and we are going to probably push some/most toward blood, unless they would lose a TON of dps. the buff proc window is clearly chaotic. and alignment is a happy accident.

#

I was imagining yall timing a vendetta/vanish around that shit. bleh.

craggy basin
#

For the ppl who play assass/sub duel spec what are your Thoughts on sub vs assass for mythic soulrender if we are going pure st and don't have to worry about adds. I know logs show sub all day but wasn't sure what ppl were doing for prog

wintry mica
#

imo sin is better for funneling boss damage you can put a bleed or two up for energy regen and just slam the boss

#

but I have not played any sub on mythic soulrender yet so someone else might have a better idea

north basin
#

why top sin gear simming higher than 27 default profile?

#

empowered conduits not taken into consideration?

wintry mica
#

its not

#

check the updated sims in sin faq

#

top venthyr dashing sin is 12358

vestal wren
#

12k

#

thats insane

wintry mica
#

yea is that someones actual gear cause it looks like its literally full bis

north basin
#

its not real gear ofc.

vestal wren
#

i wonder if somone will come up with a gear combination that beats the top sim we atm know

fallen arch
#

For a second I thought that was real

wintry mica
#

are the sims in the sin faq pre or post frost set fix?

north basin
#

btw how we can achievee 12300 in sin?

wintry mica
#

cause they could be inflated a bit

vestal wren
#

the sims should be up to date

wintry mica
#

it says 8/24 i think the frost set sim was fixed before then but not sure

vestal wren
#

sub is on ~12.4k

#

so sin is rly close with the right gear

#

and outlaw is only marginal ahead

#

overall a good balance tbh

north basin
#

seems like today that 12100 profile is the B I S

wintry mica
#

yea pretty nice that you can realistically use any spec for all content

vestal wren
wintry mica
#

Im not sure where the extra 200 comes from in the other sim then

north basin
#

by looking at stat weights. where crit and haste top. u cant find better gear?

vestal wren
#

legion timewalking aa damage ring ^^

fallen arch
#

Thats gonna be included?

#

Before we know if it’s real?

wintry mica
#

i mean its real

vestal wren
#

na

wintry mica
#

it just probably wont make it to live

vestal wren
#

we can't say now

fallen arch
#

How can you possibly know

#

It was real 5 years ago

vestal wren
#

the problem with stat weights is that they only add stats

north basin
#

why wont? it doesnt matter we do extra 300-400 dps in the end of 9.1.5 content. it wont break the game

#

with this ring

vestal wren
#

so they don't tell you what you lose by lowering one stat

#

when you exchange gear pieces

wintry mica
#

because it seems like blizzard wants to make sure that you dont feel like you need to farm timewalking

#

anything that ends up "bis" will likely get tuned over the course of the PTR

vestal wren
#

i think blizz is fine with allowing some outliners to exist from timewalking

wintry mica
#

but obviously everyone is just speculating

#

ill farm the shit out of that ring if it makes it live lmao

vestal wren
#

they wouldn't allow us to upgrade those tw m+ items if there was a big concern

north basin
#

2 months of drought...

#

october something patch expected i guess,

vestal wren
#

you have a point reystana

#

giving some new items to farm from tw dungeons is actual content

wintry mica
#

yea, even if stuff isnt good I'll want it just for nostalgia lol

vestal wren
#

during the waiting time for 9.2

didnt think in legion I would be looking forward to running more court of stars though

vestal wren
#

i mean if somehting is straight out broken it will get nerfed

north basin
#

blizz would be super fine with thousands of rogues wariors etc put hours of farm into timewalking, statistics and metrics !

wintry mica
#

Ive seen some other specs freaking about items, but it seems like its really just the ring for us that has potential

vestal wren
#

but for stuff thats like a 50-100 dps upgrade i don't think it rly justifies a nerf

wintry mica
#

yea 10% melee damage is what like 1.1 to 1.2% overall dps

vestal wren
#

having 1-2 tw items over budget sounds like something thats good for player engagement

north basin
#

yep

wintry mica
#

true

#

could see them being more lax with things since we have 2 weeks to farm items too

vestal wren
#

"look my sick eoc"

wintry mica
#

at least i havent seen anyone linking EoC sims in a day or so

vestal wren
#

alright, its back to hunt you in your dreams:

#

eoc is rly easy to sim tho

#

its literally a stat stic

wintry mica
#

if it was actually obtainable id for sure get it even if it wasnt good

vestal wren
#

is upper kara on the dungeon list?

wintry mica
#

no

vestal wren
#

oh rip

wintry mica
#

yea lol

#

and I dont think any other trinkets are worth going for

turbid pivot
#

Fond memories of the day the game gifted me with a 980 EoC

wintry mica
#

I guess trinks are the one gear slot i got lucky with so that might not be the case for everyone

hollow river
#

there's still a ring that might be pretty busted though isn't there

wintry mica
#

yea the court one

hollow river
#

the one that buffs your autos

wintry mica
#

will be really really good

#

if it doesnt get tuned

hollow river
#

right

wintry mica
#

big if though

hollow river
#

might just be removed altogether

#

iirc Guy was saying the ring was shit back when it was live, because autos were shit back then

wintry mica
#

yea

hollow river
#

but now autos are a big part of our damage

wintry mica
#

our autos are like 10-12% of our damage

hollow river
#

ye

wintry mica
#

so the ring passive is like 1% overall dps

deft obsidian
#

Simming in a gear compare (assuming the values work correctly) the ring was a downgrade for me

hollow river
#

oh?

wintry mica
#

iirc its even stated with haste and crit right

#

so not a ton of crit

deft obsidian
#

Yeah its haste > crit

wintry mica
#

but the 100ish dps from the melee passive should offset that you would think

hollow river
#

might be bigger for outlaw than sin

wintry mica
#

unless you are rocking double 252 or a 259 ring or something

deft obsidian
#

Yeah I figured it'd be a no brainer if honest but it was 246 /w socket vs 246 /w sockets x2

#

PF/Sylvanas rings

wintry mica
#

yea, maybe losing all the crit is too much

#

im not going to worry about simming it until its at least obtainable on ptr though

deft obsidian
#

Yup, as always I wouldn't be calling gospel on it already

#

Will see once its actually in hands

half tartan
#

So is eye of command coming back? Upper Kara isn't on the list

#

Timewalking Dungeons: Black Rook Hold, Eye of Azshara, Darkheart Thicket, Vault of the Wardens, Neltharion’s Lair, and Court of Stars.

wintry mica
#

pretty safe to assume no kara means no eoc lol

cursive silo
#

I've had 2 different people tell me blizzard said trinkets aren't dropping

gusty mirage
#

interesting considering blizzard hasn't said much about it

wintry mica
#

its not mentioned in any blue posts so I'd say thats people talking out of their ass

#

we have like 2 sentences of info on timewalking gear and thats it

cursive silo
#

pog

half tartan
#

Was there any good trinkets from TW? I slightly remember a glaive trinket from Vault that I think was pretty good for aoe right?

wintry mica
#

if its umbral moonglaive you are talking about that was a TOS drop

#

I dont think any of the trinkets from those dungeons really stand out

#

could be good for people with low ilvl or bad trinket drops though

#

there are a couple that just give flat crit with a damage proc

half tartan
#

Ahh yeah moonglaive

wintry mica
#

I still have an ilvl 50 one with a socket in my bags for timewalking lol

dark token
#

Most legion trinkets will likely be undertuned anyway if they are dmg procs

#

Because class dmg amps used to apply to them and they don't any more

wintry mica
#

i mean the most interesting trinket is like faulty countermeasures which just seems like a worse fusion amp

dark token
#

If blizz just scales them to level 60 they will 99% be bad

#

They would need to buff them a bit I think

#

Things like faulty countermeasure were insane on classes like ret because it scaled with their buff like crusade

#

It doesn't anymore

polar cape
#

The only thing worth is the ring if the effects work or not

dark token
#

Yeah I think they will add it

#

It's relatively minor anyway

#

Like 1-1.5% dps

wintry mica
#

i could see it ending up at like 5%

#

instead of 10

#

seems like more classes do a lot of white melee damage compared to back in legion

dark token
#

They do with any stat squish

#

Melee becomes more of your dmg

slow marsh
#

I mean I would hope they will tune the drops cuz if not there's literally no point of having legion m+ except for just a change of pace for the side content that is m+ already

dark token
#

Here is a tos log from me, melee was like 1% of my dmg lol

wintry mica
#

good ole 1M+ dps legion lol

slow marsh
#

Yeah I mean at 1m dps it makes sense melee wuld be shit

arctic hare
#

What are the best rings we can prolly get?

slow marsh
#

just that one

arctic hare
#

Tryin to figure out what I should eventually go for lol

wintry mica
#

sylv ring and arachnid cypher

arctic hare
#

Sylv ring? oh?

grim jay
arctic hare
#

Oh frick, I didn't even notice THAT

balmy condor
#

Sylv ring easily the best

#

Then it’s a question if the auto attack ring works

#

Otherwise arachnid

wintry mica
#

realistically we wont know for sure until 9.1.5 goes live

#

so we got a while to wait lol

balmy condor
#

I mean it’ll be on ptr

wintry mica
#

true but i meant tuning wise

arctic hare
#

I've been wanting to replace this stupid 230 ring forever

wintry mica
#

go grind out some pf

#

hope you get lucky

arctic hare
#

Wdym?

#

oh

wintry mica
#

unless you already have the PF ring

arctic hare
#

I already have the ring

#

at 239 so far

#

At this point IO is the only thing stopping me from upgrading it further

wintry mica
#

ah yea

#

it was the 2nd thing i pumped to 246 after phial

arctic hare
#

Need 1700 for 242 thankfully

#

Still haven't gotten any phials, though I haven't necessarily been farming it

wintry mica
#

I was in PF prison at the start of the tier like a lot of people

#

ended up with 2 rings before I got phial and never saw the dagger

arctic hare
#

I really ought to farm it lol

#

I even have the dagger at 220 rn

wintry mica
#

yea i would love a dagger drop but I stopped focusing on farming it and just run whatever keys my buddies have at this point

arctic hare
#

Yeah, I've been wanting to get another dagger, cause I have a 226 and 220, which is why I'm pumping valor into this current dagger

wintry mica
#

could go for them korthia daggers if youve been keeping up on research

arctic hare
#

God no

#

Screw that

wintry mica
#

yea lol

arctic hare
#

I've been hopin for an edge of night, but pffffft, highly doubt I'll ever get that

wintry mica
#

lol

arctic hare
#

Lol, amazing

fleet anchor
#

Someone uhh.. added an extra 0 to the coefficient

wintry mica
#

is that the whetstone or something

arctic hare
#

I can see that lol

fleet anchor
#

Yes

wintry mica
#

thats the kind of broken shit id like to see day 1 ptr lmao

fleet anchor
#

Casually increasing the coefficient from 20 to 365

#

nbd

wintry mica
#

small buff

#

I mean to be fair thats only like 20k dps for 6 seconds

#

not too busted

fleet anchor
#

But the point from the PTR that is worth noting

cursive silo
#

aoe

fleet anchor
#

They are clearing doing tuning on all these coefficients

wintry mica
#

yea so cant rule anything out yet

fleet anchor
#

So at this point we really don't know where any of these trinkets will land

#

Since they are open to changing all the budgets

#

They tweaked the numbers on like half of them already

wintry mica
#

and it seems like they are okay with damage procs scaling really well with ilvl right now

fleet anchor
#

Say like Caged Horror trinket

#

Was upgraded from 75 coefficient to 115

#

I assume in this case they meant for the Whetstone to go from 20 to 36

#

At 36 it would be decent probably

#

But we'll really need to wait and see how all this plays out with final values

#

Even the stat proc trinkets were increased quite a bit

wintry mica
#

yea I hope they end up at least decent

fleet anchor
#

Like this one

#

Stat coefficient was over doubled

#

Or I guess around doubled

wintry mica
#

yea looking in the dungeon journal earlier it was 2 per stack at ilvl 50 now its 4 on ptr

fleet anchor
#

So basically most of the sims done yesterday or whatever are pretty much worthless (sorry Whispyr)

obtuse robin
fleet anchor
#

Prism could maybe be decent

#

tbh

#

Since it procs from Periodic

#

Can pretty much maximize the 400ms ICD

#

It's like 600 Agi after 8s

wintry mica
#

wait isnt prism ranged only

#

it cant even drop for rogue

weak cradle
#

hey just swapped covenants to venthyr and forgot what renown cap is this week any help

#

How does the damage from the frost set bonus work? I know how it builds, but I'm wondering what takes damage from it.

Is it a small aoe around you? Or is the damage done to your target?

placid pagoda
#

Damage one target

wintry mica
#

as far as i know it hits the last target that you struck with a crit

tame stump
#

cool cool; thanks, guys!

gusty mirage
#

ended up pulling Kroke that way Thinkge

wintry mica
#

Ive definitely had it hit things I wasnt actively targeting in raid before

#

like small adds on sylv

gusty mirage
#

yeah probably just picks whatever you're targeting if the last thing you crit died

pure moth
#

In the logs, how do you look at each phase of sylv?

wintry mica
#

at the top where you choose the boss

#

it says full fight but you can click and choose a phase

gusty mirage
pure moth
#

Oh oops thanks

gusty mirage
#

np, it's not obvious if you don't know where to look (kinda like everything on wcl)

pure moth
#

<<- blind

#

That appears obvious though lol

wintry mica
#

I wonder if there is a way to confirm the frost set targeting without just combing through a bunch of log timelines

gusty mirage
wintry mica
#

hmmm

pure moth
#

I look more on mobile tbh.. so i never have same view

wintry mica
#

I think i found an example of frost set just missing

pure moth
#

Its rare i look on pc

gusty mirage
#

yeah mobile wcl is actually one of the worst things ever

pure moth
#

Yeah.. i need to stop viewing it on mobile

wintry mica
#

heres an example from a cev log where it looks like he is hitting chains

#

but his last crit ability was deadly poison on sylv

#

but thats assuming phial doesnt count?

spice spire
#

Also on mobile to even see that you have to be landscape

gusty mirage
#

got em

wintry mica
#

nevermind cant make sense of winds targeting at all

#

three straight crits and hes meleeing the souljudge

#

and winds still hits the goliath

spice spire
#

Aren’t you supposed to be golfing FeelsWeirdestMan

gusty mirage
#

I'm at work

#

maybe @limber lion or @balmy condor have an idea of how it works

#

hi smart peoples, does winds favor any specific target or just hit whatever you're targeting? or how tf does it work

wintry mica
#

maybe it is target and im just stupid

balmy condor
#

last target your ability crit that accumulated

wintry mica
#

thats what I thought but I found some logs that didnt really make sense

#

does the winds proc have travel time?

#

cause i guess all those crits are within like .1 second of the winds hitting

indigo mulch
#

So even with the aoe cap change we still need 25+ targets to beat out the other specs in aoe? 😄

#

Oh wait are we talking about HB vs PB there? D:

gusty mirage
#

no

#

no one's talking about HB

#

if they are set them on fire

dawn ivy
#

the hidden hidden blades frost build tech

spice spire
wide ridge
#

HB is not trash i swear copium

arctic walrus
#

You can play it on sylv

wintry mica
#

you can also play venom rush on sylv

#

doesnt mean its worth doing lol

#

with legion leggos in timewalking maybe you can run dreadlords deceit and HB and get some big burst lol

dark token
#

i think for the m+ keystones they scale em to 60 and disable legacy effects

fleet anchor
#

Proc Flags : ......x. x....... x.x..... ........
: White Ranged, Yellow Ranged, Magic Hostile Spell, Periodic

#

But it buffs Agi

#

And procs Periodic

#

So it's really good for us anyway 😛

#

So prep your DO U NEEEEEED macros

wintry mica
#

we can just spam poisoned knife

fleet anchor
#

Also

#

With the buffs Countermeasure might just be straight better version of Salvaged Fusion Amplifier

wintry mica
#

interesting, that was one that was catching my eye a bit since its so similar

fleet anchor
#

they are extremely similar 20 RPPM-style buffs and now Countermeasure just does more damage despite having a slightly higher uptime (but slightly longer CD)

wintry mica
#

I thought countermeasure was less uptime

#

oh no

#

im just dumb and was reading the 8 second slow lol

fleet anchor
#

No it's 30s buff with 120s cooldown.

#

Betrayal also looks good

#

And is realistically really similar tbh (same type of 20 RPPM proc thing)

wintry mica
#

1 min 15 sec CD is pretty weird

fleet anchor
#

20% uptime basically

wintry mica
#

but yea it seems like the damage procs just keep getting stronger

soft shale
#

tirathon's was really good back then

#

what i really miss is no terrorbound nexus

#

it was my fav trinket

stiff tapir
#

Hey does anyone know if shiv buffs the frost damage from the shard bonus?

oak sky

it only buffs nature damage and also only spec abilities

morgeth still gives an ember

wintry mica

and 25% to the jailer weekly

Are you sure?

oak sky

korthia is jailer weekly

kind talon

I’m p sure he gives 0 embers man

wintry mica

morgeth counts for the jailer weekly

kind talon
#

Yeah but he gives 0 embers

wintry mica
#

im pretty sure he gives 1 a week

oak sky
#

1 day of korthia is the jailer weekly tho

wintry mica

yea but fuck korthia lol

oak sky
#

not until i have t6

#

until then feelsloveman i love korthia

delicate berry
wintry mica
#

i just hit t5 lol

delicate berry
#

Hate that research grind

wintry mica
#

yea Ive been playing a lot of alts too

#

that and i wasnt sure if i wanted to main rogue this tier until a few weeks in

oak sky
#

i didnt start grinding korthia until 2 weeks ago

#

it starts coming pretty fast

wintry mica
#

yea if you full clear every day its like 4-5 weeks from 0 to max

#

at least i think thats about how quick the RWF people were getting it

oak sky
#

i was passively getting some before

#

just dailies and weekly

wintry mica
#

dailies arent even great for it

oak sky
#

occasionally you get good ones

wintry mica
#

2/3s of em dont give research

#

yea

oak sky
#

the big thing is rares and rift caches

wintry mica
#

im probably a week or 2 of full grind to hit it but i really just dont care lol

oak sky
#

just doing those makes it not take too long

#

i usually get from 500-800 every day atm not fully clearing

wintry mica
#

yea I was skipping rift caches for a while but they are big research

oak sky
#

rep

wintry mica
#

usually every couple of days ill go do the dailies and kill any rares that spawn while im there

#

or occasionally do some rares while im at work lol

oak sky
#

the easiest rares to plan around are the rift ones

wintry mica
#

yea

#

i usually just try and make sure I at least get the quick respawn ones

#

especially after I finally got rid of my korthia dagger i lost interest in r6 lol

oak sky
#

i try to get one of the tps per day

wintry mica
#

yea ill stop and wait if someone says its coming soon

#

had a legit whole raid waiting for north tp earlier today

#

like 25+ people

delicate berry
#

Havent done any rifts

wintry mica
#

you can get 4 rift chests per day in korthia

delicate berry
#

Just dailies, rarest and chests

wintry mica
#

and i think theres maybe some in the maw too?

#

i just do them after I do yorick

oak sky
#

bro im not tryna go to the maw

wintry mica
#

yea

delicate berry
#

And only the rares that are up while I do dailies

wintry mica
#

half the time i dont even run to the farthers ones

#

in korthia

delicate berry
#

F waiting on spawns

wintry mica
#

I dont even have any gear to put sockets on yet so im not too worried

#

my only 252s worth equipping so far have been trinkets lol

delicate berry
#

I can't get trinkets this expac to save my life

wintry mica
#

id trade you my bad weapon luck

delicate berry
#

Farming PF daily on my rogue and DoS on my boom for Phial/IQD respectively

wintry mica
#

i just swapped my druid back to NF yesterday

#

havent really played him since like week 1 of the patch

delicate berry
#

Lol

wintry mica
#

figure im only using him in torg and world quests right now and venth feels kinda dog for that

delicate berry
#

I'm raiding on boomie and assassination rogue atm

#

12hrs a week in that raid gets old fast

wintry mica
#

ew

#

two seperate teams?

delicate berry
#

Yea

#

Two separate guilds

wintry mica
#

damn

#

I like raiding, but not that much lol

#

2 nights a week with an optional 3rd for heroic/alts is what we do

oak sky
#

i might raid on an alt later in the tier

#

not sure tho

wintry mica
#

yea, ive been bringing my sv hunter to alt raids

delicate berry
#

Almost done on H with boomie other guild struggles a bit

#

With mechanics

wintry mica
#

i feel bad swapping back from venth before even really giving the leggo a try

#

but i think im gunna try and do some feral since it seems fun righ tnow

#

got a buddy that wants to try double feral 2s

delicate berry
#

Might as well I'm leveling feral alt too atm

wintry mica
#

and we just stun and convoke someone to death

#

yea, problem is my druid is still in nathria boomy gear

#

so he literally only has vers and mastery lol

delicate berry
#

Has to be like rogue amirite?

#

Feral that is with bleeds

wintry mica
#

yea

#

more front loaded burst with convoke

#

and a lot more downtime in fights

#

like way more than any other spec

delicate berry
#

70% or more of thier dmg is bite

#

Lol

wintry mica
#

yea

#

my buddies alt just like constantly hits 20k bites

delicate berry
#

Lol

#

Finally got my third frost shard on my rogue so hoping to see some better numbers in tonight's raid on my rogue

wintry mica
#

its pretty nice

#

at r5 its almost always my top damage lol

delicate berry
#

Still crap gear though imo like 222

wintry mica
#

yea unholy might be better depending on your gear and the rank

delicate berry
#

Hqve I think r4 frost

wintry mica
#

that was around when frost started outsimming unholy for me

delicate berry
#

34% crit unbuffed

wintry mica
#

thats a little low

#

but not bad for 222 probably

#

generally you shoot for at least 40% it seems

#

the other sin rogue in my guild is still running unholy since his is r5

delicate berry
#

Yea i saw working towards it just need some gear replacements

ebon notch
#

you can never have too much

wintry mica
#

is that ocular?

ebon notch
#

yh

wintry mica
#

yea pretty much everyone I see at like 43+ has ocular

#

im at 41 without it right now

delicate berry
#

I have ocular and fusion atm

wintry mica
#

both quite good

#

ocular sims even with my totem right now though

ebon notch
#

mythic guardian trinket is what im looking for

plain thistle
#

you dont need ocular to get more than 43

delicate berry
#

No but it helps

#

:)

wintry mica
#

true

plain thistle
#

yeah sure, getting crit helps you getting crit sus

wintry mica
#

id probably be at 43 if i got the h ring and chest

#

still 0 drops from h sylv though lol

delicate berry
#

I mean like at my ilvl it gives me a nice boost

wintry mica
#

I really wanmna get rid of my haste vers chest

#

its my only non crit piece except for weps

oak sky
#

dude sylvanas drops dont exist

wintry mica
#

for real

#

ive got 1 normal ring and 1 normal dagger

oak sky
#

neither do the eye hands

wintry mica
#

and nothing else after however many weeks

oak sky
#

i got a belt

#

from normal

wintry mica
#

oooooh shit

#

guess whos got mail from the AH

#

i think my legs sold

oak sky
#

it sold poggers

wintry mica
#

or i probably forgot about something else i posted lol

oak sky
#

i had mail from the AH when mine was up and then i realized i bought something right before

wintry mica
#

fuck

#

it was the pet from eye lol

#

still 22k not bad

oak sky
#

not at all

wintry mica
#

need to go look and see if someone undercut me

#

I think i was being a bit greedy with the 500k

delicate berry
#

Assuming one drops is it worth running 2x edge of nights

wintry mica
#

depends on ilvl

#

but almost always you will go with a higher ilvl mh if you have one

#

at least its still the only pair up

unreal epoch
#

do you guys choose the heroic sylv chest over mythic eye chest?

oak sky
#

sim

delicate berry
#

Yea having problems finding m+ groups to get anything higher

unreal epoch
#

yeah I sim was just wondering how crazy sin is for crit

wintry mica
#

very

#

i know heroic KT shoulders beat the mythic tarra ones so I assume sylv chest is the same

delicate berry
#

So facing that thinking those 233 will be best I can get ilvl wise

wintry mica
#

if you finish korthia you can get some 236 daggers from that

#

I think thats the max upgrade at least

delicate berry
#

Forgot about that

#

Kinda dumb if you think about korthia gear can be better than both lfr and normal raid

wintry mica
#

yea but only if you do like 6 weeks of grinding

unreal epoch
#

i mean

#

korthia gear is hard af

#

to max out

#

compared to lfr/normal

wintry mica
#

i dno LFR is pretty rough these days

#

lots of wipes lol

delicate berry
#

Lololol

unreal epoch
#

LMAO truuuu

delicate berry
#

Haven't been in an lfr that could get kt or slyv down yet

#

Even with 10+ stacks of d

#

I stopped trying lol

wintry mica
#

True

#

Hoping I get my Aotc next week

wintry mica
#

maybe youll get a dagger first go

#

id be jealous lol

delicate berry
#

Unlikely as it's my boomies run

wintry mica
#

I know its frowned upon but hsylv carries are also pretty damn cheap now if you just want to unlock the dagger for vault chances

delicate berry
#

9/10 H on boomie 2/10 H on rogue

wintry mica
#

ah i guess if you arent consistently getting vaults its probably not worth

#

but if I was 9/10 for a few weeks I would definitely just buy a carry and start getting vault chances at sylv gear

delicate berry
#

Yea but 800k for an slyv kill

#

On H

wintry mica
#

its 800k for full clear

delicate berry
#

Yea that

wintry mica
#

I see people advertising for 145k sylv kills in trade right now

#

which isnt too bad

delicate berry
#

Just feels bad since we are 9/10

wintry mica
#

yea, I would really only do it on rogue since she drops 3 of our bis items

delicate berry
#

True

#

Have to see what they are runnin

halcyon zealot
#

honestly 150k is cheap enough it could even be worth to buy a funnel with it too

#

depends how bad u wanna get the kill and loot

wintry mica
#

yea hell at this point if its like monday and I havent pugged it i might just buy one myself to be lazy lmao
