lol
yea i was like damn thats toxic lol
That sounded different in my head obv 😂
I honestly never understood buying boosts tbh
ya it definitely feels more rewarding that way, but i can understand the frustration of not having access to sylv loot in vault at this point
What’s it gonna bring ya
lol i remember where some one in the druid disc made a spelling mistake and missed a space and somehow accidentally typed the N word and got insta purged
some people dont care about the journey, just the destination @fallen arch
oh idk, im def in ur boat, im just trying to see the other side
Apparently
More of the way the game is right now and how hard it is to even get a group to do anything.
There’s tons of guilds out there
My guild doesn’t do hc anymore, so I had to pug it today for embers
yea we do an optional hc on monday
The leader admitted after 6 bosses that he had only seen 2 fights on hc
but I cant wait that long for embers or a chance at sylv
We carried him without knowing
yea I usually give those groups a pull or two if the dude looks decent
the worst are the ones where they just keep inviting people
We wete pretty steady
2-3-9 is way easier than like 2-4-14
There’s just no chance I’m pugging hc after Guardian
Fatescribe pug I don’t wanna put mysef thru that
my pug had more trouble with KT than sylv this week
We went 2-2-6
we just do the skip, and are progressing on M painsmith, so ive had to pug painsmith, guardian, fatescibe for embers the last few weeks
fucking blows idk how ppl do it
small groups on sylv make everything seem so much easier for whatever reason
yea but then at least you know who to replace
I did it last week in 2 pulls in a small group with no disc lol
yeah hardest part about sylv is getting everyone to collectively not fuck up for 13 minutes
boss itself isnt too bad
especially in a pug
We are doing this cept normal then doing h
Might be starting m before getting aotc
you really just need tanks that know how to manage puddles
Tbh
and a priest or two for MD in p3
@delicate berry i mean early on in the tier it was very common to be 1 or 2/10M before getting aotc
i dont think i would do a pug that didnt have a priest in the group
first 2-3 on mythic are easier than H sylv
yea def first 2
Way easier
tarragrue is a joke boss
Excepr h sylv isnt too terrible either
the nine is a different type of difficulty to h sylv
no its not, gear nerfed that H Slyv so hard
but id say if you can down one you can down them both
oh for sure
without any dom sets
Yeah, guilds really did that to their rogues
Mythic 9 is easier than the eye bro
Last part of phase 2 getting us on h slyv
Not for my guild it wasnt
we got 9 to 40% our first pull with 18 ppl while waiting for late comers as a meme
i feel like tarragrue is like 0/10 difficulty eye is like 1-2 and nine is like 2-3
and then after nine its a decent jump
remnant and soulrender feel like actual mythic bosses
the first 3 not as much imo
Also not for everyone
I mean
Really depends on your raid comp
We had it in 3 lel
damn
i think it depends on how fast/well you get used to the intermission, and if u have the dps to do the split strat
Nine in like 25
Don’t ask me why
Idk
true, stats could be depressed a bit by having less nine kills
Shit gear could make eye harder
True
since more bad guilds have killed eye avg pull count could be a bit higher but thats still a big difference
we wiped like 6-7 times I think
Eye is easier mechanically though
but most of that was because we were doing the wrong strat
we were trying to swap the tanks for no reason
which just doesnt work lol
yea but its easy enough to just leave the tanks on each side since the debuff doesnt really do that much to them
and just have dps swap if you dont have the dps to burn it down
If you don’t have the dps now to burn Eye something is wrong
Other tank chains over and monk chi torpedo into transendence instantly there
I meant to one phase intermission without swapping sides
Ye
man im even spamming in trade undercutting my own auction and no one is buying
I need to log off or ill sit here all day till my legs sell
Thanks for the update on your sales
youre welcome
Maybe someone will dm you with qn offer
Ill give you 1 copper
Oo what am I buyin
if im using dashing in AoE do i just keep CT up and envenom while its up
If i crit with mutilate and get 3 cp, do I spend em then?
no, finish at max -1
4-5 with vigor and 5-6 with deeper stratagem
okey cause I was checking a log on guardian mythic and he did mutilate envenom mutilate envenom multiple times
that has to do with crits then I assume?
yeah okey that makes sense then
thanks alot
how would I do with vendetta? it doesnt line up very well with trinket and flag
wdym
Vendetta doesnt line up with fusion trinket and flagellation
do I just hold trinket and flag for vendetta then?
you dont force them to line up unless you will only be able to get one more cast of both off
so if the boss is on 30% or smth and flag is up but vendetta is 30s off
you delay flag for vendetta
cause you're only going to get one more cast off of each of those abilities before the boss dies
so in the middle of the pull i just use flag and trinket on cd then?
and dont hold for vendetta
vendetta doesnt buff trinkets
yeah that I know, but having em macroed is kinda nice since they are on the same cd, ium talking about flag and trinket
Eye definitely harder than H Sylv
only near the fight do you start desyncing
There are actually 0 mechanics on that fight
Yeah
when did you kill it?
I started patch 3 weeks in, joined my guild not knowing anything what the boss did and just dodged circles on the ground and killed it
1 pull
and thats how you deduce that the boss has no mechanics?
i see
Vs eye you actually have to swap and watch your debuffs
If you don't know how debuff works u wipe
H sylvanas probably the easiest end boss I remember ever
ehh i wouldnt say that but its moreso really easy to pick up on whats going on
if you dont know how the debuff works in p3 you wipe
like u see one guy facing out with melv ur gonna do that when u get it
if you dont know how the chains work in p1 you wipe
^
how did u do on remnant frozen haha
that is what you are talking about
yeah did you one shot it not knowing the mechanics?
ah
If I got a bomb raid said go to edge and I did
yeah
That's it
none of the mechanics are really like hard and probs can just pick it up when you see it lmfao
Yeah
i did the same kinda. a lot of stuff seems pretty obvious
like the chains as you mentioned
I think this raid is extremely easy mechanically compared to most
this is my first raid so i wouldnt know but they do seem really easy
The debuff on sylvanas is entirely a healer mechanic
Unless you are the one assigned person running up picking up stacks
I didn't even know it existed
P3
ah.
the stacks in p1 seem to kinda pwn when its like 4-5 but idk. i enver get that many lmfao
What stacks in p1
if u get hit by shit u get a debuff that has to be cleansed by standing near a chain
Lol
u get one periodically regardless but if u get hit by the circles on the ground u get more
kinda like painsmith intermission
its not if you get hit by shit, its just random
you can get unlucky and get 3 stacks in a row
Idk I just dodge circles and never knew anything about cleaning stacks and it was fine
if im using dashing in AoE do i just keep CT up and envenom while its u
from what i've seen it's if you get hit by shit, but it's also random (u get one overtime, like i said)
weird
guess im just a lucky gamer tamer
Something like sire you actually had to know mechanics a little
Sylvanas is like chase boss and dodge
and press ur buttons!
Like I said I can't remember an easier end boss
apparently sylv hc is harder than first 3m bosses
apparently to pugs lmfao
it was when your raid ilvl average was 240 lmao
I have no idea how it was hard unless the gear check was very tight week 1
its a lot of individual player responsibility
Even in pugs kt seemed to take like 10 pulls
because then it doesnt matter what the mechanics are, the raw damage output can just murder you
And it was at the edge of night that I struck out to get a Blizzard
But sylvanas 1 pull
thats what happened for me lmfao
^
i only ever 1shot fatescribe idk
fatescribe kinda my favorite boss
same with rem and painsmith
kt the real pug killer not my boy fate
whats ur dom set @ if u started 3 weeks into the patch
i guess should be r4 close to r5
i have r4 frost and r4 unholy, and can get r5 frost next week
while starting from beginning
how do u have both lmfao i wont be getting r5 for another 2 weeks
ahhhh ok
i didnt know how they worked at first and leveled them up one at a time qq
how tho
i upgraded my rank 5 frost this week
and have rank 4 unholy also
what not *reclearing for a month does to a mf
how much u get? its like 60 per weeks right if u full clear heroic and a few bosses on mythic
ah
hi guys what's your opener ST and AOE with master assasin ?
q e r a d
!guide
muti - snd - muti - gar - flag - rup - vend - shiv - vanish - muti - env - muti
R5 frost, got it this week
whats our opener on the nine
i cant seem to do big dam without running CT
what i do, not sure if its best, is i open single target and during shiv i garrote the other one at some opportune moment
rupture after shiv
do you have a opener macro? lol 😄
literally 3 lines above what you typed
oh I just read this
yeah yeah, I'm sorry
wdym just pure single target rotation/
you dont wanna get a rupture on the other target first or smth
i was doing mut garrote on main, rupture alt target, then ST opener on main target
I mean the legendary + subterfuge sorry
the legendary
Still, refer to the guide
Are you talking about m+ using ma leggo?
If you are using ma leggo you don't go subt you take NS with MfD
Yeah it'll be weird then cuz you either sac dmg now and use the same opener as obed to get used to it or you learn two different openers / builds
Not that it's hard at all
sac dmg ?
But
sacrifice damage
xD
With MA leggo you play NS MfD and kinda do your opener backwards vs normal
yeah I get it now, thanks
It let's you do actual damage in low keys before everything dies yeah lol
i wonder how much it does. curious to test it now
You should it's fun imo
And the best part is you can just slot in zold and play the same build and it's still good
For higher keys
I mean subt with iron wire is obviously better utility and easier to play well but yeah
NS is kinda sleeper talent for keys
iirc NS is also not too far behind the 'normal' talent builds for ST as well, compared to the bad talents that is
whats our m+ trinkets? phial and?
Sim
!sims
Simulations:
Herodamage: https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
or run Droptimizer/D slice
oki cool
Because that is shadowgrasp totem
ok cool
is it better to use sbs for shiv windows or during gemstone windows? jw - the faq says gemstone but from logs it shows just for shiv windows
1 sbs in opener, from stealth. and then in gem stone windows.
for ST
gotcha - and is it worth it to get one more envenom off during a shiv window and let rupture fall off, or to re apply rupture?
never let you bleeds fall off
if you have to reapply inside your shiv window, thats fine
just press shiv on CD
even if u haven't had the chance to pool energy for shiv?
yeah - i got that, but sometimes applying rupture/garrote syncs up before shiv comes up and i don't have time to pool
but u have such a wide window for pandemic
pandemic?
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
if u have one of the basic wa for rogue ui the skills will glow when its pandemic time
ah gotcha, is there like an ideal time to reapply garrote/ rupture - like 3 or 4 seconds? I've kind of just been following a weak aura - been stuck at 95 ilvl parses so trying to get to that 99
i dont think so no just use the time to prep for shiv
garrote is 5.4 sec and rupture is 7 sometihng
gotcha - and for vanish just link that with an empowered shiv/ envenom right?
hi black!
whats poppin gamer
does the envenom buff have a pandemic and if so what is the optimal refresh time?
@fathom flax hm theo was like a 140+ dps increase lmfao
Pretty sure it does but you pretty much just pool before envenom
You don't really play around the envenom debuff exactly
Envenom buff*
theo is bae
on god
guys a bit offtopic but what do u think is the class benefiting most from the "uncap" @ the incomming patch?
has nothing on survival
Seeing that 8 capped classes are now nerfed until 13
Yeah, wild fire cd reduction in big pulls is gonna be nutty
thts what my bf said too black
survival comin in HOT
the rare 10 players gonna be hyped!
@ruby idol
which im actually fine with its fucked up the state blizz has left that spec in for years
they r
they have never been a fotm
like every other spec seems like it has got at one point
It's that it belongs to a class that is ranged, and melee real estate is already super crowded
idk ive gotten asked like 100 times since the announcement
cdr was capped in bfa
carve itself does 0 dmg
Joins rwf guild, insta toxic to plebs like us
was it capped in legion
the spec was extremely different in legion
was it tho
yes
You think they'll cap cdr at 5 still?

yeah the cdr will be 5 id say with like 99% certainty
well yea it makes sense
so a lot of specs get nerfed, some kinda nerfed, and some buffed
That as certain as us doing rogue pod cast?
pog

i think this is much more certain
I'm wondering if they keep the 5/8 distinction or if its hard capped at 5
Shattering my hopes
The wording wasn't necessarily clear on it imo
Any new thoughts or insight on outlaw dad? 

!guide
toxic
that spec is an abomination
Can't wait for uncapped CP gen
i can confirm my brain cells have reduced considerably since playing outlaw
Can't wait to be happy
does any1 know at what pull sice FOK + CT spamm will be better than rupture refresh with the target uncap?
CT spam will be worse wil uncapped
Ptr isn't even a thing yet.
We don't know what other tuning might be happening etc
Or how the damage decreases per target beyond a certain target count
you, uh , ah its uhh , yea so, umm , yes, that umhmh
So we'll have to wait and see, maybe in a month we'll be able to make some predictions
yea just wait for the trinket changes and shit too
this one will cook for three months at least
before the attention span of apes diminish after bc part 2 dwindles
at this rate 9.2.5 wil be last patch b4 10.0
in m+ should i strive for more mastery over crit?
crit still top
Crit is better, but mastery is also fine
just mastery overtakes vers a little
Your CP generation in AoE becomes more consistent with higher crit
Which means you get your bleeds out faster, and reduce your FoK spam
@marble hemlock
fancy seeing you around here

Question if i made a ticket to a Gm would they be able to help fix my legendairy i accedintly made a 2nd doomblade legendairy tuesday and i ment to make Dashing scoundrel >.<

They don’t refund that
@balmy condor ah i wasnt really gonna ask for a refund just change the legendairy
true yeah
I remember someone tried it early in the expansion
And they basically said that there’s 3-4 prompts for you to double check
And if you still craft wrong after that that’s on you
It’s a 235 though
ya idk there's a 5 second long pause
So not really much lost
right but id have to wait a few weeks to make dashing scoundrel
i have a 262 base one in my bags
right but i used my ash this week to make that 2nd cloak
You can farm ash
infinite supply of ash
I don’t even farm ash and I’m swimming in it as well
how much is a 235 cloak for soul ash?
Idk
You get 2k ash passively every week
5150 I think
5150
262 is also 5150
The only thing holding back legendary crafting is cinders, and the gold for the piece if you’re poor
yeah i dont have the gold
Ash should be overflowing in your bags if you’re just doing the content
Didn’t you just say that you have a 262 base item in your bag
that was gonna be for the dashing scoundrel but i accedently crafted doomblade
which i dunno how when i clearly did pick dashing x_X
Why does it matter though
You crafted a 235
You still have the 262
You still have the cinders
^

lol
yea u did
Aight now I’m just lost
u ment to craft dashing 262
instead u craft db 235
two mistakes
but ash is farmable
so yeah
no the 235 was gonna be a Dashing but ended up doing doomblade for some reason and i was gonna do the 262 later when i get cinders
so still 2 mistakes
Yeah
lmao
So you lost nothing
You just wasted 5150 cinders
Which you’ll get back in time for the cinders anyways
true
pre buying 262 instead of going from 235 > 262
You don't have dashing right now which sucks
But next reset
You get a 262 of your choice
So dw so much
Doomblade isn’t even bad
i wonder if ur necro
@full tide what you mean by 262 of my choice?
yeah i know but next reset i wont have the cinders
u have the 262 already
He has the base item
yo
i was confused to i was thinking they giveing a handout on a free 262?

this might be a stupid question but does kidney shot work on painsmith? i see sin rogues using internal bleeding talent on him
since 9.1
im guessin you can do layer 9 or somethin
over and over or is just better to do 12
thx
which difficulty
246
congrats!
fucking dozens of kills and finally got ONE
what dagger
and i really don't feel like pugging it
did u get
edge o night BABY
papa bless!
ima get mine in the vault on tuesday c:
ive been gearing up my friends rogue with him and he manages to get the dagger ive been trying to get for a month on his first run
.<
dashing scround build still best right?
Yes
damnit
i think doomblade is as good or slightly better for necro still
i jus wanna be a obdience rogue
Yes
Do it
go play sub then XD
It’s close
ew no
yea even with like r5 frost obe is still pretty close to dashing to me
yea definitely much closer
But Is smoother and Better for cleavr than Doom Blade right?
welcome to PF jail
hhahaha
I honestly hardly notice the difference between dashing and doomblade
you play them basically exactly the same
guys im hot
so yea even at r5 frost obe just simmed 4 dps above dashing for me
so you can def just make obe
no
hmm ok
i'll c wassup
the energy regen from dashing will help hit out 30 stack flags
yea low energy isnt usually what limits flag stacks
fair
and I dont even think over the duration of flag you gain enough energy for an extra muti cast
so 3:34 heroic guardian kill it regend 401 energy for me
which definitely isnt bad
yeah energy isnt the issue its cp generation in general
the difference is small enough that it doesnt matter
you need god crits for 30 stacks
feel like you need god crits and lust to hit 30 as sin
yea dashing has good synergy with frost
whats the crit sweet spot for dashing
i have r4 frost and 40% crit but i feel like my winds arent doing shit
sim
theres no sweet spot
rank 5 will juice the damage a lot too
no sweet spot just sim ur gear w.e sims best is sweet spot
just use what top gear tells you
well alot of ppl did that
and now i feel like im behind
true
i caught up and got r5 frost last week
its all good
yea youll be on r4 for a bit then
whats a decent dmg for winds? mine are hitting for like 55k-60k
thats pretty normal
ive heard there was a way to play around it to maximize its dmg whats that about

theres no way to game it that isnt griefing your overall damage
it just hits every 20 seconds and you dont have to think about it
okoK
I wish I was r5 frost :( missing 1 ember
i saw mine hitting for 80k
i saw dh hitting for 350k
dunno how
frost has his ways,
@wintry mica hi ray
@brazen zodiac 
i better see u on bright and early tuesday for heroic run mister! >:)
no its with IQD buffing haste 
kek
If anyone links over 40% crit and 25%+ haste its always a proc
😂👌
#allnatural #nofilter #nocheese #dontlookatmyweaponstooclose
I was going to mock your weapons but
I actually just feel bad for you
I hope you get the fattest vault in the world
Only daggers
I usually have sylv dagger in offhand
This gear set only exists to get as high crit as possible
Oh okay
That makes sense
I thought a 210 sword was your best sub offhand you had available and I was never going to cry about my loot luck again
I wouldn’t play sub if I didn’t 
210 sword offhand for sub gets beat by like ilevel 50 or 60 green daggers
Would be my guess
That’s why I thought it was so tragic
Imagine not having a 252 dagger, oh wait 😭 what is life
A regular 252 slow offhand gets beat by ilvl 75 daggers
Like with shadow tech buffs in 9.0.5
The gap is massive
Nyalotha daggers beating vault axes and stuff
Kinda wild
But let’s say hypothetically that was the only weapons you did have
Would it be worse to play outlaw with a 210 sword or sub with a 210 sword
Probably sub I would think
Yeah but it would be 30 iLvL down on mainhand
Oh I missed that part
So the question is how much mainhand ilvl can you sacrifice on outlaw vs crushing the proc passive on sub
And I think 30 ilvl probably would be better
Slow offhand on sub is a crazy loss
It's pretty bad yeah
hey, does anyone know a good website that numbers which classes and specs are better in dps? the ones im lookin at seem to be pretty incorrect
i was looking at this https://www.noxxic.com/wow/rankings/dps
but my friend said it appeared to be pretty incorrect. i'll grab the other 2 i was lookin at
Ah yes, noxxic. The worst WoW source of all time
Best place to look is probably warcraftlogs
LOL
There's a section to see scores by class
ah oaky. thx
I still can't believe someone still runs noxxic, it's been terrible for years
Idk how they get clicks
Yup. The scores change by difficulty too
thanks now uh time to figure out how to read this lol
But those are the statistics of players who logged
ahh
So the dots are the very far right are the highest scores
The linw in the middle of the bars are the average
hm
just trying to make a few alts that will do as much as sub rogue or sin rogue cause why not lmfao
but cant seme to find a site that explains which classes/specs are better
ig this is a start tho thx
The dots out outliers so I wouldn't worry about them
ah
I would look at the averages mostly
I didn’t even recognize the logo
I would also change the raid difficulty to whatever difficulty you are more likely to do
For instance, I'm a filthy casual who only does normal and heroic for aotc, as I don't have time to dedicate to mythic raiding
So I would set the difficulty to heroic if I were looking at the scores
Bc some specs do better in different difficulties
maybe i should learn how to play outlaw and sub before dk and 4 other classes >.<
Whatever floats your boat
any tips on my m+ mob damage my overall dps takes a big hit because of it
Noxxic
Well what are you doing right now in aoe
you need to ramp fast 4 garrotes ct then rupture
how are you getting 4? starting from stealth with sub gives 3, do you just vanish after?
you get 3 with subterfuge and the 4th is a normal one
or is it 2 +1 i cant remember why do i even speak
3 empowered 1 normal
Straight up how is sin comparing to outlaw/sub in mythic+? Looking to return to wow but really fancy coming of sub to sin
i mean in high keys it can do good damage for sure.
not really sure how its stacking up to sub and outlaw though.
sub would win for sure in SD, DoS, HoA, maybe NW and MoTS too.
Worse than outlaw and sub, but it’s probably fine unless you’re trying to do 24’s
Think I'll just stick with sub, not looking to play seriously anymore just a decent time waster, cheers
theotar or nadja for tryhard keys?
I don’t tell people because they see bis gear and try and farm it and stupid shit
Gonna have to find it yourself
Cool
im trying to figure out where i can take anothere 200+ dps )
Good luck!
I’m sure you’re familiar enough with raidbots to figure out what your next upgrades would be
just look at the pieces. and stat weights, crit haste still top and there is no better items in that category ingame. i mean haste+ crit
i miss something?
Stop using stat weights
its our metrics for next upgrade? no?

if i see crit at top and haste folows, i start to look for piece with haste + crit?
2016 called, it wants pawn back

Just use droptimizer like a normal person
just link ur gear set xD it wont break us! i promise
It’s literally not useful
i was playing yesterday with different upgrades in raidbots, just cant surpass this 12100 mark
xD
Go find it yourself, use droptimizer, and get more vault rng
Idk what to tell you

ok fine ( u just want these 200 dps for urseelf!
No I just literally don’t care

I mean if your 12100 it would be just vault rng or whatever you don’t have from raid
The other 2 potency slots empowered maybe
Like
Idk
Just Logic it out
There’s sims that tell you what’s an upgrade
They do that for a reason
first potency emp was like +25 for me. so i thought there is something elsee
2 more is like +50
Have fun
its better than game itself! playing with raidbots xD
I’m glad you’re having fun
ah i found ur gear set, its using same items i linked, but it was mechagnome
yep.
Blood Elf is really good because of the passive crit.
1 question... its better oil+phantasmal potion than stone?
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
help me find 214 dps plz!
somebody xDD
assa hive mind can do it!
220 actually even.
You don't even have the same gear.
Like, it's not that difficult lol
Different pants, different boots, different neck, different belt

no enchants on rings
hmm idk whether to craft a 262 dashing or db
You’re the only one who cares man
It’s not rocket science
I just know if I go dashing they'll scrap dom shards in 9.2 and it'll be "Ok" again
But with the arrival of 9.1.5 we can scrap our legendaries
So it doesn't really matter
Wait, what?
With the arrival of 9.1.5 we can scrap our legendaries
Gives a full refund
Now if the patch would just drop next week that would be wonderful 🙏🙏
Refund legendary, get new one for each boss, also change cov at the same time. Each pull takes 30 minutes to prep for
i mean the bases will still cost ya so that sounds kinda expensive
strange. in raw input it shows ",id=186299,ilevel=252,gem_id=187312,enchant=eternal_agility"
but on mouseover there is no enchant
maybe i need to put id of enchant and not name
Yeah, those are not shown on the tooltips. Try ,enchant_id=6211 instead
Yeh, that might or might not be how we do our cheaty sims.
hm just replicated same gear, and cant get same resullt, only difference is not mechagnome and no 80 renown. i probably miss something but i dont know what
I think the worst part about all of it is that it’s always stat weights
It’s the subtle touch
That just hurts so much
Y our name different color bro
I’m all about that cute salmon colour name 😉
Salmon
nvm cant replicate it. i gave up
Idk why u’d want to tho?
wanted to see if crit stil a king at 50% crit unbuffed, in frost gear.
and secondly just wanted to double check 12350 top dashing venthyr gearset
via stat weight sim on raidbots,
you guys swap to poisoned katar for keys?
I estimate 2-3 month oof ptr. And 1 262 is around 3 week. So we have time to have 2-4 new 262 before patch drop. Shouldnt matther much. The refund will be interesting for leggo u used the wrong stat in.. but then again u can get a new 235 quite fast anyways.. so eh! Nice feature but shouldnt affect 9.1 raider anyhow.
The interesting part is for 9.2... when the balance change again
Or if they do a big class tuning for rogue in 9.1.5 that change the current balance of the spec
in 9.2 they should present something meaningful for guilds regarding rogues, we do serious ST damage now, but still majority of guilds recruit locks mages owls xD
Good ST for melee isn’t enough for multiple spots unfortunately
DH is good, ferals are ST sleepers, etc
It will be interesting to see the balance. We were unlucky that rogues in top world guilds had bad shard luck otherwise we may have been represented more
yeah unfortunately only bdgg ran a rogue the whole race, which is still 👌 but had echo or limit run one, would have been magnifique
still though, in recent couple months, i've found no trouble when trying to find a guild. even if they already have a decent rogue on the roster already.
whether that is because so many people are quitting the game though, i cannot say.
Definitely affects it
for sure, but even in my current guild, and the last one i trialed with, the rosters were 25-30 and already had a rogue but were interested in having 2.
a little before guilds started bleeding players
Limit would have run a rogue, but he didnt get his shards
yeah i know
they tried to run the rogue in at least 1 fight iirc
kt?
maybe a little sylvanas when they were switching people around? can't remember
Pretty sure they did run 2 on guardian?
But like easiest boss ever so rip
If that fight was as hard as painsmith
Srry sludgefist*
It should have been
yo how is uncapped CT gonna work, is the bleed gonna do X dmg to 5 and then scale down past 5 or
Lemme ask my magic 8 ball since its not even on the ptr and when it goes on ptr it will be changed 3000 times before live
You do get good value, but it also is better on other classes
There a chart somewhere but we get amazing value from power infusion. I believe affliction warlock get the most benefit followed by one of the hunter specs then us
Venthyr boomkin
check #wow-general pins for PI values per spec/class
there's quite a few more than that ahead of us.
In terms of overall dps out though we are top 5 by that chart I think, keratoconus currently making it hard for me to visually sort that chart right now
No, the worst part is that he's comparing your sim, which was done before the frost apl was changed, to his sim that was done after it.

A simple re-sim does the trick.
ye its sad what assa-faq wasnt updated.
because no one cares
KSM feels a little unwhelming compared to season 1
Aware I'm late to the party anyway but still
On one hand I've got a couple 19s timed, on the other I have 14/10 on Sanguine Depths and 2.1k+ io.
I don't hate the change but the real challenge is the 20s for portals.
Compared to last season when I was very late getting KSM.
yeah i feel the same. 15s feel like 12s or something in comparison this season.
On fort weeks do we just take double stat powers in keys or is stats and dagger still the play
Fort you should maybe take volcanic depending on dungeon
Volcanic and axes probs
Especially if another dps takes volcanic
necrotic dagger is stronk on forti aswell
Yeah if nobody else is taking volcanic or you just don't care about interrupts then dagger axes is the play
This week I’ve been taking crit necrotic because I wasn’t sure if the execute could generate enough overall value
Next week is probably going to be a different story. I’ll try out Axe/Volcanic in a few keys
Well it's execute and it does decent damage so just depends on when you're picking it up in the key I suppose
Dagger axe is pretty solid for tyran for bosses in general too
Mists is also I think the only dungeon where bolstering is an option
But I find that packs usually die at the same time in my group so it doesn't really work if that's the case
At what crit, % should I consider swapping to dashing/Frost. I've tried both unholy and Frost but I've saw more success with unholy and doom blade. I've got my Frost caught upto to unholy again and I'm at around 30% crit. I'm going to test it out later in the week but just wanted to see what people's experiences were.
fuck painsmith heroic man
i got PI but there was no monk buff or windfury so it cancels out
I’d argue between 35 and 40
It also depends if they’re leveled
Yeah they're both lvl4 atm.
If you have close to 40% you should sim it and switch if it’s better
Yeah I need to build some more crit and reevaluate it.
Guys I play mainly SIN Venthyr doing mixed content (m+/raiding) what legendary do you advice for mixed content (I already have Zoldyck , Doomblade and Master Assassin)
Zoldyck for keys, doomblade for raid
Maybe get obedience or dashing next if you play frost set
If you already have all 3 of those 262 you should get dashing for raid
The good legendaries for sin are: dashing (bis raiding as venthyr), obedience (all around good m+/raid as venthyr), doomblade (raid as necro), and zoldyck (m+ king)
Dashing pulls ahead at the end for Necro as well
You have to have very high gear level and r5 frost iirc
Compared to venthyr where it wins right away
I think r4, but yeah more of a stretch to get there
I personally built dashing > obedience > zoldyck
Since I care about raid a little more and obedience allows me to play sub too
Ah true
Isent that super old?
It’s 9.1
Yes, very out of date.

Seems relevant considering it says it's upto 259 ilvl
It has not been updated since the shard buffs...
A lot of specs are using completely different setups...

@limber lion sim check

@balmy condor re: 9.1.5 target cap change, does the damage reduction beyond the target cap apply to Crimson Tempest's initial damage AND DOT damage or is the DOT full damage? (or do we even know at this point?)
We don’t know
ok, thanks. Hoping it's just the initial because that'd be confusing shit
I think koji said something about regulating the bleed damage would be difficult based on the code
So might just be limited by the game tbh
yea, otherwise, it'd be doing a lot of calculation every single time you CT rather than just running apply_aura
I don't think dots were affected by a limit cap ever though right?
I'm pretty sure that's the case atleast.
Wouldn't be surprised if they just decide to even out the damage depending on target count instead of the "full damage on 5, reduced on other targets"
someone asked for values i point em to chart. 
How much % crit is that @limber lion
ngl, getting the soulrender belt and fatescribe helmet pumped my dps up quite a bit
Around 48.5%

I only have 4 pieces equipped from vault, and fate helm is the only raid item
None of the rogues have seen sylv daggers yet.
I still havent even got my 5th dom socket yet 😄
Pretty sure my heroic KT shoulders are the only piece that I've gotten from the vault
Everything else from the raid
Vault is dead content
