yea that definitely feels bad

fallen arch
#

Or you know

#

Just play the game

#

Kill bosses yourself

#

And earn that loot

halcyon zealot
#

lol

fallen arch
#

Kill the boss yourself I mean

#

Lol that came out wrong

delicate berry
#

Lol

#

I was gonna say

wintry mica
#

yea i was like damn thats toxic lol

fallen arch
#

That sounded different in my head obv 😂

#

I honestly never understood buying boosts tbh

halcyon zealot
#

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

fallen arch
#

What’s it gonna bring ya

wintry mica
#

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

halcyon zealot
#

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

fallen arch
#

Apparently

long hawk
#

More of the way the game is right now and how hard it is to even get a group to do anything.

wintry mica
#

just do what everyone else does to get aotc

#

be like 6/10

fallen arch
#

There’s tons of guilds out there

wintry mica
#

and make an "Aotc only" group yourself

#

and hope people dont notice

fallen arch
#

My guild doesn’t do hc anymore, so I had to pug it today for embers

wintry mica
#

yea we do an optional hc on monday

fallen arch
#

The leader admitted after 6 bosses that he had only seen 2 fights on hc

wintry mica
#

but I cant wait that long for embers or a chance at sylv

fallen arch
#

We carried him without knowing

wintry mica
#

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

fallen arch
#

We wete pretty steady

wintry mica
#

2-3-9 is way easier than like 2-4-14

fallen arch
#

There’s just no chance I’m pugging hc after Guardian

#

Fatescribe pug I don’t wanna put mysef thru that

wintry mica
#

my pug had more trouble with KT than sylv this week

fallen arch
#

We went 2-2-6

halcyon zealot
#

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

wintry mica
#

small groups on sylv make everything seem so much easier for whatever reason

fallen arch
#

If everyone pulls their own weight, yes

#

But that’s almost never true

wintry mica
#

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

halcyon zealot
#

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

wintry mica
#

hardest part is group finder

#

getting in a group

#

and then having it be decent

delicate berry
#

Might be starting m before getting aotc

wintry mica
#

you really just need tanks that know how to manage puddles

delicate berry
#

Tbh

wintry mica
#

and a priest or two for MD in p3

halcyon zealot
#

@delicate berry i mean early on in the tier it was very common to be 1 or 2/10M before getting aotc

wintry mica
#

i dont think i would do a pug that didnt have a priest in the group

halcyon zealot
#

first 2-3 on mythic are easier than H sylv

wintry mica
#

yea def first 2

oak sky
#

Way easier

wintry mica
#

tarragrue is a joke boss

oak sky
#

Excepr h sylv isnt too terrible either

wintry mica
#

the nine is a different type of difficulty to h sylv

halcyon zealot
#

no its not, gear nerfed that H Slyv so hard

wintry mica
#

but id say if you can down one you can down them both

#

oh for sure

#

without any dom sets

kind talon
#

Bruh the 9 is so easy

#

It’s unreal

fallen arch
kind talon
#

Mythic 9 is easier than the eye bro

wintry mica
#

i disagree lol

#

eye was stupid easy

delicate berry
fallen arch
halcyon zealot
#

we got 9 to 40% our first pull with 18 ppl while waiting for late comers as a meme

wintry mica
#

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

fallen arch
kind talon
#

I mean

fallen arch
#

Really depends on your raid comp

kind talon
#

Avg eye pull ct is 16-36

#

And avg nine count is 5-12

fallen arch
wintry mica
#

damn

halcyon zealot
#

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

fallen arch
#

Nine in like 25

kind talon
#

And I daresay that those stats say the nine is easier

#

On avwrage

fallen arch
#

Don’t ask me why

kind talon
#

Idk

wintry mica
#

true, stats could be depressed a bit by having less nine kills

oak sky
#

Shit gear could make eye harder

kind talon
#

True

wintry mica
#

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

oak sky
#

Eye is easier mechanically though

wintry mica
#

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

kind talon
#

Depends on which tank

#

If it’s a monk u can do it easily

#

Monk x

wintry mica
#

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

kind talon
#

Yeah but if it’s monk x u can just do it for free

#

On god

fallen arch
#

If you don’t have the dps now to burn Eye something is wrong

kind talon
#

Other tank chains over and monk chi torpedo into transendence instantly there

wintry mica
#

I meant to one phase intermission without swapping sides

kind talon
#

Ye

wintry mica
#

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

fallen arch
#

Thanks for the update on your sales

wintry mica
#

youre welcome

oak sky
#

Maybe someone will dm you with qn offer

pure moth
#

Ill give you 1 copper

delicate berry
#

Oo what am I buyin

gritty mason
#

if im using dashing in AoE do i just keep CT up and envenom while its up

upper flax
#

If i crit with mutilate and get 3 cp, do I spend em then?

plain thistle
#

4-5 with vigor and 5-6 with deeper stratagem

upper flax
#

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?

ebon notch
#

yh cause you can get 4 CP from one Mut

#

which is n-1 so you dump

upper flax
#

yeah okey that makes sense then

#

thanks alot

#

how would I do with vendetta? it doesnt line up very well with trinket and flag

upper flax
#

Vendetta doesnt line up with fusion trinket and flagellation

#

do I just hold trinket and flag for vendetta then?

ebon notch
#

you dont force them to line up unless you will only be able to get one more cast of both off

delicate berry
#

Use fusion on cd

#

Is what I do

#

Regardless of what else is up

ebon notch
#

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

upper flax
#

so in the middle of the pull i just use flag and trinket on cd then?

#

and dont hold for vendetta

plain thistle
upper flax
#

yeah that I know, but having em macroed is kinda nice since they are on the same cd, ium talking about flag and trinket

dark token
ebon notch
#

only near the fight do you start desyncing

dark token
#

There are actually 0 mechanics on that fight

ebon notch
#

no mechanics on heroic sylvanas?

#

are you tripping or

dark token
#

Yeah

ebon notch
#

when did you kill it?

dark token
#

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

ebon notch
#

and thats how you deduce that the boss has no mechanics?

dark token
#

If you can do a fight entirely knowing nothing about the mechanics

#

It's 0 mechanics

ebon notch
#

i see

dark token
#

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

brazen zodiac
#

ehh i wouldnt say that but its moreso really easy to pick up on whats going on

ebon notch
#

if you dont know how the debuff works in p3 you wipe

brazen zodiac
#

like u see one guy facing out with melv ur gonna do that when u get it

ebon notch
#

if you dont know how the chains work in p1 you wipe

dark token
#

No?

#

You just don't get pulled in intuitively that's very obvious

brazen zodiac
#

^

ebon notch
#

will people dying to their arrows

#

cause a wipe or not

brazen zodiac
#

how did u do on remnant frozen haha

ebon notch
#

that is what you are talking about

dark token
#

Debuff doesn't matter whatsoever except for healers

#

Remnant?

brazen zodiac
#

yeah did you one shot it not knowing the mechanics?

dark token
#

I shadowstep boss when I got blown back

#

Yeah

brazen zodiac
#

ah

dark token
#

If I got a bomb raid said go to edge and I did

brazen zodiac
#

yeah

dark token
#

That's it

brazen zodiac
#

none of the mechanics are really like hard and probs can just pick it up when you see it lmfao

dark token
#

Yeah

brazen zodiac
#

i did the same kinda. a lot of stuff seems pretty obvious

#

like the chains as you mentioned

dark token
#

I think this raid is extremely easy mechanically compared to most

brazen zodiac
#

this is my first raid so i wouldnt know but they do seem really easy

dark token
#

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

brazen zodiac
#

which debuff u referring to

#

the p1 or p3

dark token
#

P3

brazen zodiac
#

ah.

#

the stacks in p1 seem to kinda pwn when its like 4-5 but idk. i enver get that many lmfao

dark token
#

What stacks in p1

brazen zodiac
#

if u get hit by shit u get a debuff that has to be cleansed by standing near a chain

dark token
#

Lol

brazen zodiac
#

u get one periodically regardless but if u get hit by the circles on the ground u get more

#

kinda like painsmith intermission

subtle tundra
#

you can get unlucky and get 3 stacks in a row

dark token
#

Idk I just dodge circles and never knew anything about cleaning stacks and it was fine

gritty mason
#

if im using dashing in AoE do i just keep CT up and envenom while its u

brazen zodiac
#

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

dark token
#

Something like sire you actually had to know mechanics a little

#

Sylvanas is like chase boss and dodge

brazen zodiac
#

and press ur buttons!

dark token
#

Like I said I can't remember an easier end boss

subtle tundra
#

apparently sylv hc is harder than first 3m bosses

brazen zodiac
#

apparently to pugs lmfao

ebon notch
#

it was when your raid ilvl average was 240 lmao

dark token
#

I have no idea how it was hard unless the gear check was very tight week 1

brazen zodiac
#

its a lot of individual player responsibility

dark token
#

Even in pugs kt seemed to take like 10 pulls

ebon notch
#

because then it doesnt matter what the mechanics are, the raw damage output can just murder you

delicate berry
#

And it was at the edge of night that I struck out to get a Blizzard

dark token
#

But sylvanas 1 pull

brazen zodiac
#

thats what happened for me lmfao

brazen zodiac
dark token
#

kt > remnant > fatescribe > painsmith > sylvanas

#

In heroic pugging diffficulty

brazen zodiac
#

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

subtle tundra
#

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

brazen zodiac
#

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

ebon notch
#

i upgraded my rank 5 frost this week

#

and have rank 4 unholy also

subtle tundra
#

what not *reclearing for a month does to a mf

brazen zodiac
#

how much u get? its like 60 per weeks right if u full clear heroic and a few bosses on mythic

subtle tundra
#

nah

#

its 61 if you fully clear mythic

brazen zodiac
#

ah

subtle tundra
#

and we've been extending for way too long

#

thankfully, next week reclears start

dim estuary
#

hi guys what's your opener ST and AOE with master assasin ?

brazen zodiac
#

q e r a d

limber lion
#

muti - snd - muti - gar - flag - rup - vend - shiv - vanish - muti - env - muti

dark token
ebon notch
#

i cant seem to do big dam without running CT

strange python
#

!opener

#

!opening

subtle tundra
#

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

strange python
#

do you have a opener macro? lol 😄

subtle tundra
strange python
#

yeah yeah, I'm sorry

kind talon
#

Lol

ebon notch
#

wdym just pure single target rotation/

#

you dont wanna get a rupture on the other target first or smth

kind talon
#

And then you garrote the other one after ma window

#

You can if u want

ebon notch
#

i was doing mut garrote on main, rupture alt target, then ST opener on main target

kind talon
#

I mean sure

#

Sounds fine

dim estuary
limber lion
#

Still, refer to the guide

dim estuary
#

so I take subterfuge but play this way ?

#

so I still apply 3 garrote even with MA ?

delicate berry
#

I don't like ct

#

Never run it so not sure myself

slow marsh
#

Are you talking about m+ using ma leggo?

#

If you are using ma leggo you don't go subt you take NS with MfD

dim estuary
#

yeah

#

ok makes sense

#

i'm going to use obediance but I have to fill with MA atm xD

slow marsh
#

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

dim estuary
#

sac dmg ?

slow marsh
#

But

hollow river
#

sacrifice damage

dim estuary
#

xD

slow marsh
#

With MA leggo you play NS MfD and kinda do your opener backwards vs normal

dim estuary
#

yeah I get it now, thanks

hollow river
#

can be better for lower keys tho can't it

#

since stuff dies so fast

slow marsh
#

It let's you do actual damage in low keys before everything dies yeah lol

hollow river
#

i wonder how much it does. curious to test it now

slow marsh
#

You should it's fun imo

hollow river
#

never tried it before but have an old MA left over

#

until we can scrap

slow marsh
#

And the best part is you can just slot in zold and play the same build and it's still good

#

For higher keys

hollow river
#

really

#

haven't heard that before

slow marsh
#

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

strange python
#

whats our m+ trinkets? phial and?

oak sky
#

Sim

hollow river
prisma monolithBOT
oak sky
#

Or

#

U mean what you would grind for?

hollow river
#

or run Droptimizer/D slice

strange python
#

oki cool

oak sky
#

Because that is shadowgrasp totem

strange python
#

and what do we use wat soulbind for m+

#

mad tea guy?

hollow river
#

fusion amp if u can raid

#

that u should sim

#

soulbind can be diff

strange python
#

ok cool

shy meteor
#

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

hollow river
#

for ST

shy meteor
#

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?

hollow river
#

never let you bleeds fall off

#

if you have to reapply inside your shiv window, thats fine

#

just press shiv on CD

shy meteor
#

even if u haven't had the chance to pool energy for shiv?

obtuse robin
#

pool b4 its up

#

otherwise yes

shy meteor
#

yeah - i got that, but sometimes applying rupture/garrote syncs up before shiv comes up and i don't have time to pool

obtuse robin
#

but u have such a wide window for pandemic

shy meteor
#

pandemic?

obtuse robin
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

obtuse robin
#

if u have one of the basic wa for rogue ui the skills will glow when its pandemic time

shy meteor
#

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

obtuse robin
#

i dont think so no just use the time to prep for shiv

#

garrote is 5.4 sec and rupture is 7 sometihng

shy meteor
#

gotcha - and for vanish just link that with an empowered shiv/ envenom right?

brazen zodiac
#

hi black!

obtuse robin
#

always have shiv up for vanish

#

yo

brazen zodiac
#

whats poppin gamer

tawdry portal
#

does the envenom buff have a pandemic and if so what is the optimal refresh time?

brazen zodiac
#

@fathom flax hm theo was like a 140+ dps increase lmfao

oak sky
#

Pretty sure it does but you pretty much just pool before envenom

#

You don't really play around the envenom debuff exactly

#

Envenom buff*

obtuse robin
#

theo is bae

brazen zodiac
#

on god

thin gate
#

guys a bit offtopic but what do u think is the class benefiting most from the "uncap" @ the incomming patch?

obtuse robin
#

warr

#

survival

thin gate
#

assa pog FOK CT

#

well i mean prob necro mastery crit inc with zoldyack

kind talon
#

Hunter

#

Specifically bm

obtuse robin
#

has nothing on survival

kind talon
#

Seeing that 8 capped classes are now nerfed until 13

obtuse robin
#

with carve uncapped

#

will be best aoe in game if left like that

marble hemlock
#

Yeah, wild fire cd reduction in big pulls is gonna be nutty

brazen zodiac
#

thts what my bf said too black

#

survival comin in HOT

#

the rare 10 players gonna be hyped!

marble hemlock
#

@ruby idol

obtuse robin
#

which im actually fine with its fucked up the state blizz has left that spec in for years

marble hemlock
#

Wdym

#

SV is already in a good spot in m+

obtuse robin
#

they r

marble hemlock
#

It has start been pretty solid in raids every tier

#

The problem isn't the spec

obtuse robin
#

they have never been a fotm

#

like every other spec seems like it has got at one point

marble hemlock
#

It's that it belongs to a class that is ranged, and melee real estate is already super crowded

ruby idol
#

carve cdr not gonna get uncapped

#

uninformed wannabe sv fans

#

know nothing

marble hemlock
#

Wow

#

Okay bruh

ruby idol
#

idk ive gotten asked like 100 times since the announcement

#

cdr was capped in bfa

#

carve itself does 0 dmg

marble hemlock
#

Joins rwf guild, insta toxic to plebs like us

obtuse robin
#

was it capped in legion

ruby idol
#

the spec was extremely different in legion

obtuse robin
#

was it tho

ruby idol
#

yes

marble hemlock
#

You think they'll cap cdr at 5 still?

obtuse robin
ruby idol
#

yeah the cdr will be 5 id say with like 99% certainty

obtuse robin
#

well yea it makes sense

slow marsh
#

so a lot of specs get nerfed, some kinda nerfed, and some buffed

marble hemlock
#

That as certain as us doing rogue pod cast?

slow marsh
#

pog

marble hemlock
ruby idol
#

i think this is much more certain

slow marsh
#

I'm wondering if they keep the 5/8 distinction or if its hard capped at 5

marble hemlock
#

Shattering my hopes

slow marsh
#

The wording wasn't necessarily clear on it imo

marble hemlock
#

Any new thoughts or insight on outlaw dad? kekw

obtuse robin
ruby idol
#

fuck outlaw

#

how it doesnt get uncapped

#

hope*

neon thunder
#

!guide

obtuse robin
#

toxic

ruby idol
#

that spec is an abomination

obtuse robin
#

that spec is literally a health hazard

#

ask my wrists

marble hemlock
#

Can't wait for uncapped CP gen

slow marsh
#

i can confirm my brain cells have reduced considerably since playing outlaw

subtle tundra
#

Can't wait to be happy

thin gate
#

does any1 know at what pull sice FOK + CT spamm will be better than rupture refresh with the target uncap?

marble hemlock
#

No

#

Nobody knows

slow marsh
#

CT spam will be worse wil uncapped

marble hemlock
#

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

subtle tundra
#

you, uh , ah its uhh , yea so, umm , yes, that umhmh

marble hemlock
#

So we'll have to wait and see, maybe in a month we'll be able to make some predictions

soft shale
#

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

obtuse robin
#

at this rate 9.2.5 wil be last patch b4 10.0

iron geode
#

in m+ should i strive for more mastery over crit?

soft shale
#

crit still top

winged kindle
#

Crit is better, but mastery is also fine

soft shale
#

just mastery overtakes vers a little

winged kindle
#

Your CP generation in AoE becomes more consistent with higher crit

#

Which means you get your bleeds out faster, and reduce your FoK spam

balmy condor
#

@marble hemlock whispyrwave fancy seeing you around here

slow marsh
#

Seli been in here more than you lately wym

spice spire
sterile ocean
#

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 >.<

sterile ocean
#

@balmy condor ah i wasnt really gonna ask for a refund just change the legendairy

balmy condor
#

That’s roughly the same thing

#

And they don’t do that

sterile ocean
#

true yeah

balmy condor
#

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

cobalt pelican
#

ya idk there's a 5 second long pause

balmy condor
#

So not really much lost

cobalt pelican
#

where it's like

#

hey bro r u rly rly RLY sure

sterile ocean
#

right but id have to wait a few weeks to make dashing scoundrel

balmy condor
#

?

#

No you don’t

#

It’s a 235

#

It’s just ash

sterile ocean
#

i have a 262 base one in my bags

#

right but i used my ash this week to make that 2nd cloak

balmy condor
#

You can farm ash

thin trout
#

infinite supply of ash

balmy condor
#

I don’t even farm ash and I’m swimming in it as well

sterile ocean
#

how much is a 235 cloak for soul ash?

balmy condor
#

Idk

oak sky
#

You get 2k ash passively every week

balmy condor
#

5150 I think

full tide
#

5150

balmy condor
#

262 is also 5150

sterile ocean
#

ah

#

i got 2450 ash right now but i also have 1040 cinders

balmy condor
#

The only thing holding back legendary crafting is cinders, and the gold for the piece if you’re poor

sterile ocean
#

yeah i dont have the gold

balmy condor
#

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

sterile ocean
#

old content?

#

yeah i do

balmy condor
#

???

#

I’m so confused

sterile ocean
#

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

balmy condor
#

Why does it matter though

#

You crafted a 235

#

You still have the 262

#

You still have the cinders

picked the wrong base item while also pickign the wrong leggo

sterile ocean

balmy condor
obtuse robin
#

lol

balmy condor
#

How do you mess up twice

#

With that many prompts

sterile ocean
#

i dident mess up twice

#

that was the 1st time for me >.<

obtuse robin
#

yea u did

balmy condor
#

Aight now I’m just lost

obtuse robin
#

u ment to craft dashing 262

#

instead u craft db 235

#

two mistakes

#

but ash is farmable

#

so yeah

sterile ocean
#

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

obtuse robin
#

so still 2 mistakes

balmy condor
#

Yeah

obtuse robin
#

lmao

balmy condor
#

So you lost nothing

#

You just wasted 5150 cinders

#

Which you’ll get back in time for the cinders anyways

sterile ocean
#

true

obtuse robin
#

pre buying 262 instead of going from 235 > 262

full tide
#

You don't have dashing right now which sucks

#

But next reset

#

You get a 262 of your choice

#

So dw so much

balmy condor
#

Doomblade isn’t even bad

obtuse robin
#

i wonder if ur necro

full tide
#

He's Venthyr

#

Can see flag on his bars

sterile ocean
#

@full tide what you mean by 262 of my choice?

full tide
#

Uh

#

You can craft which ever legendary you want at 262

sterile ocean
#

yeah i know but next reset i wont have the cinders

obtuse robin
#

u have the 262 already

full tide
#

He has the base item

obtuse robin
#

yo

full tide
#

Not a 262 legendary

#

If I understand

obtuse robin
#

dot need cinders if u already have that

#

im so lost

#

oh

#

i c

#

ur fine

sterile ocean
#

i was confused to i was thinking they giveing a handout on a free 262?

dense hamlet
rocky sluice
#

this might be a stupid question but does kidney shot work on painsmith? i see sin rogues using internal bleeding talent on him

oak sky
#

that talent row usually doesn't matter for damage

#

it shouldnt work on bosses

brazen zodiac
#

wait u can farm choreghast for soul ash now?

#

didn't know that lfmao

oak sky
#

since 9.1

brazen zodiac
#

never needed soul ash so

#

or needed to get it i should say

oak sky
#

i never farm it anyway

#

the higher droprates are good enough

brazen zodiac
#

im guessin you can do layer 9 or somethin

#

over and over or is just better to do 12

oak sky
#

idk whats best over and over

#

probably is 9 or something tho

brazen zodiac
#

thx

dawn ivy
#

GOT MY FUCKING DAGGER

kind talon
#

😳

oak sky
#

😳

#

nah might be busy

strange python
#

dashing scround build still best right?

kind talon
#

Yes

strange python
#

damnit

wintry mica
#

i think doomblade is as good or slightly better for necro still

strange python
#

i jus wanna be a obdience rogue

kind talon
#

Yes

kind talon
wintry mica
#

go play sub then XD

kind talon
#

It’s close

strange python
#

ew no

wintry mica
#

yea even with like r5 frost obe is still pretty close to dashing to me

agile geode
#

Dashing Is Better for me as necro assa

#

By 50

#

Not thats much

wintry mica
#

yea definitely much closer

strange python
#

oo

#

i ran like 7 plaguefalls today

#

for a phial

#

not a single drop

agile geode
#

But Is smoother and Better for cleavr than Doom Blade right?

wintry mica
#

welcome to PF jail

strange python
#

hhahaha

wintry mica
#

I honestly hardly notice the difference between dashing and doomblade

#

you play them basically exactly the same

strange python
#

guys im hot

wintry mica
#

so yea even at r5 frost obe just simmed 4 dps above dashing for me

#

so you can def just make obe

strange python
#

with more gear

#

will obe take over

#

like ilvl

wintry mica
#

no

strange python
#

hmm ok

#

i'll c wassup

#

the energy regen from dashing will help hit out 30 stack flags

wintry mica
#

not really

#

unless you get really lucky youll be hitting like 22-26 flag stacks

strange python
#

i'm doing that anyway

#

without it

wintry mica
#

yea low energy isnt usually what limits flag stacks

strange python
#

fair

wintry mica
#

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

strange python
#

fair not bad

#

i love my assa

wintry mica
#

but if you like obe

#

play obe

oak sky
#

yeah energy isnt the issue its cp generation in general

wintry mica
#

the difference is small enough that it doesnt matter

oak sky
#

you need god crits for 30 stacks

wintry mica
#

feel like you need god crits and lust to hit 30 as sin

strange python
#

but doesnt dashing help the frost shit

#

bci t needs crit

wintry mica
#

yea dashing has good synergy with frost

strange python
#

ah ok i thought ur meant to be getting 30 lool

#

and ive been fucking up

wintry mica
#

nah thats sub that gets 30 stacks

#

we avg like 25ish

strange python
#

oh ok thats good then

#

ig

lunar elm
#

whats the crit sweet spot for dashing

#

i have r4 frost and 40% crit but i feel like my winds arent doing shit

oak sky
#

sim

wintry mica
#

theres no sweet spot

oak sky
#

rank 5 will juice the damage a lot too

dense hamlet
#

no sweet spot just sim ur gear w.e sims best is sweet spot

wintry mica
#

just use what top gear tells you

lunar elm
#

yea idk

#

sucks cuz i lvl my UH set to r4 and then swapped to frost dashing

dense hamlet
#

well alot of ppl did that

lunar elm
#

and now i feel like im behind

wintry mica
#

true

oak sky
#

i did the same thing

#

get r5 frost next week

wintry mica
#

i caught up and got r5 frost last week

oak sky
#

its all good

lunar elm
#

i just got r4

#

on reset

wintry mica
#

yea youll be on r4 for a bit then

lunar elm
#

whats a decent dmg for winds? mine are hitting for like 55k-60k

wintry mica
#

thats pretty normal

lunar elm
#

ive heard there was a way to play around it to maximize its dmg whats that about

wintry mica
#

there is one secret

#

crit more

dense hamlet
wintry mica
#

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

lunar elm
#

okoK

I wish I was r5 frost :( missing 1 ember

If anyone links over 40% crit and 25%+ haste its always a proc

balmy condor
karmic crystal
#

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

karmic crystal
#

Only daggers

balmy condor
#

This gear set only exists to get as high crit as possible

karmic crystal
#

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

balmy condor
#

I wouldn’t play sub if I didn’t lul

#

210 sword offhand for sub gets beat by like ilevel 50 or 60 green daggers

#

Would be my guess

karmic crystal
#

That’s why I thought it was so tragic

deft obsidian
#

Imagine not having a 252 dagger, oh wait 😭 what is life

balmy condor
#

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

karmic crystal
#

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

balmy condor
#

Probably sub I would think

versed mica
#

Sub worse def

#

Outlaw oh dagger is usually better than having two swords

balmy condor
#

Yeah but it would be 30 iLvL down on mainhand

versed mica
#

Oh I missed that part

balmy condor
#

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

versed mica
#

It's pretty bad yeah

balmy condor
#

My guess would be probably closer to 40-45 ilvl

#

Is when it gets worse

brazen zodiac
#

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

versed mica
#

What are you looking at?

#

Like, what site?

brazen zodiac
#

but my friend said it appeared to be pretty incorrect. i'll grab the other 2 i was lookin at

versed mica
#

Ah yes, noxxic. The worst WoW source of all time

#

Best place to look is probably warcraftlogs

brazen zodiac
#

LOL

versed mica
#

There's a section to see scores by class

brazen zodiac
#

ah oaky. thx

versed mica
#

I still can't believe someone still runs noxxic, it's been terrible for years

#

Idk how they get clicks

brazen zodiac
#

im guessin this was what you were referring to?

versed mica
#

Yup. The scores change by difficulty too

brazen zodiac
#

thanks now uh time to figure out how to read this lol

versed mica
#

But those are the statistics of players who logged

brazen zodiac
#

ahh

versed mica
#

So the dots are the very far right are the highest scores

#

The linw in the middle of the bars are the average

brazen zodiac
#

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

balmy condor
#

Noxxic in 2021

#

Wow

brazen zodiac
#

ig this is a start tho thx

versed mica
#

The dots out outliers so I wouldn't worry about them

brazen zodiac
#

ah

versed mica
#

I would look at the averages mostly

balmy condor
#

I didn’t even recognize the logo

versed mica
#

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

brazen zodiac
#

maybe i should learn how to play outlaw and sub before dk and 4 other classes >.<

versed mica
#

Whatever floats your boat

iron geode
#

any tips on my m+ mob damage my overall dps takes a big hit because of it

fallen arch

Noxxicpeepochrist

balmy condor
rancid spade
#

you need to ramp fast 4 garrotes ct then rupture

brazen zodiac
#

how are you getting 4? starting from stealth with sub gives 3, do you just vanish after?

ancient rain
#

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

sinful cradle
#

3 empowered 1 normal

strange python
#

Straight up how is sin comparing to outlaw/sub in mythic+? Looking to return to wow but really fancy coming of sub to sin

hollow river
#

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.

balmy condor
strange python
#

Think I'll just stick with sub, not looking to play seriously anymore just a decent time waster, cheers

shadow tusk
#

theotar or nadja for tryhard keys?

north basin
#

@balmy condor where i can see 12350dps assa ventyr gear?

#

in FAQ

balmy condor
#

I don’t tell people because they see bis gear and try and farm it and stupid shit

#

Gonna have to find it yourself

balmy condor
#

Cool

north basin
#

im trying to figure out where i can take anothere 200+ dps )

balmy condor
#

Good luck!

north basin
#

its not fair!!!

#

xD

balmy condor
#

I’m sure you’re familiar enough with raidbots to figure out what your next upgrades would be

north basin
#

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?

balmy condor
#

Stop using stat weights

north basin
#

its our metrics for next upgrade? no?

balmy condor
north basin
#

if i see crit at top and haste folows, i start to look for piece with haste + crit?

balmy condor
#

2016 called, it wants pawn back

fierce hill
balmy condor
#

Just use droptimizer like a normal person

north basin
#

just link ur gear set xD it wont break us! i promise

balmy condor
#

It’s literally not useful

north basin
#

i was playing yesterday with different upgrades in raidbots, just cant surpass this 12100 mark

balmy condor
#

Like bis lists do not help

#

They don’t do anything

north basin
#

ye i understand but for science purposes only !

#

xD

balmy condor
#

xD

#

Go find it yourself, use droptimizer, and get more vault rng

#

Idk what to tell you

pastel shale
north basin
#

ok fine ( u just want these 200 dps for urseelf!

balmy condor
#

No I just literally don’t care

north basin
zinc frost
#

I mean if your 12100 it would be just vault rng or whatever you don’t have from raid

balmy condor
#

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

north basin
#

first potency emp was like +25 for me. so i thought there is something elsee

#

2 more is like +50

balmy condor
#

Yeh it is something else

#

Lots of little things

north basin
#

still somewhere 170 dps missin )

#

gona find it

balmy condor
#

Have fun

north basin
#

its better than game itself! playing with raidbots xD

balmy condor
#

I’m glad you’re having fun

north basin
#

ah i found ur gear set, its using same items i linked, but it was mechagnome

limber lion
#

Mechagnome is not 200 dps

#

It's barely like 20 if that for frost/dashing

north basin
#

yep.

limber lion
#

Blood Elf is really good because of the passive crit.

azure rune
#

1 question... its better oil+phantasmal potion than stone?

keen dome
#

!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

limber lion
#

You don't even have the same gear.

#

Like, it's not that difficult lol

#

Different pants, different boots, different neck, different belt

wet ruin
#

no enchants on rings

limber lion
#

No enchant on boots either

#

Or chest for that matter

alpine garden
#

hmm idk whether to craft a 262 dashing or db

balmy condor
#

It’s not rocket science

alpine garden
#

I just know if I go dashing they'll scrap dom shards in 9.2 and it'll be "Ok" again

limber lion
#

So it doesn't really matter

alpine garden
#

Oh yeah

#

Fuck it then haha

balmy condor
#

Gives a full refund

zinc frost
#

Now if the patch would just drop next week that would be wonderful 🙏🙏

alpine garden
#

Refund legendary, get new one for each boss, also change cov at the same time. Each pull takes 30 minutes to prep for

steep obsidian
#

i mean the bases will still cost ya so that sounds kinda expensive

north basin
#

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

limber lion
north basin
#

maybe thats the difference, raidbots undestands id and not name (

#

i will resim.

balmy condor
#

The enchants work fine

#

Shows up on all the gear from the last sim

limber lion
#

Yeh, that might or might not be how we do our cheaty sims.

north basin
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

fallen arch
zinc frost
fallen arch
#

Salmon

fallen arch
#

Oh u did already

north basin
#

nvm cant replicate it. i gave up

fallen arch
#

Idk why u’d want to tho?

north basin
#

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,

onyx rain
#

you guys swap to poisoned katar for keys?

burnt star
#

Or if they do a big class tuning for rogue in 9.1.5 that change the current balance of the spec

north basin
#

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

thorny pond
#

Good ST for melee isn’t enough for multiple spots unfortunately
DH is good, ferals are ST sleepers, etc

fiery mauve
#

Well locks and mages are needed for buff/utility

#

Owls have the best dps in cd

fallen arch
#

And they have utility too

#

Lets not forget

thorny pond
#

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

hollow river
#

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.

rigid pine
#

Definitely affects it

hollow river
#

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

dawn condor
hollow river
#

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

lavish lichen
#

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*

#

yo how is uncapped CT gonna work, is the bleed gonna do X dmg to 5 and then scale down past 5 or

untold nest
#

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

manic pebble
#

Do we get a lot of value from PI?

#

or it's better for other classes

lavish lichen
#

You do get good value, but it also is better on other classes

violet jackal
lavish lichen
#

Venthyr boomkin

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

KSM feels a little unwhelming compared to season 1

#

Aware I'm late to the party anyway but still

torn atlas
#

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.

hollow river
#

yeah i feel the same. 15s feel like 12s or something in comparison this season.

stray mural
#

On fort weeks do we just take double stat powers in keys or is stats and dagger still the play

slow marsh
#

Fort you should maybe take volcanic depending on dungeon

#

Volcanic and axes probs

#

Especially if another dps takes volcanic

subtle tundra
#

necrotic dagger is stronk on forti aswell

slow marsh
#

Yeah if nobody else is taking volcanic or you just don't care about interrupts then dagger axes is the play

stray mural
#

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

slow marsh
#

Well it's execute and it does decent damage so just depends on when you're picking it up in the key I suppose

stray mural
#

True

#

I’m sure in keys like Mists it’ll have insane value having it before the maze

slow marsh
#

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

supple topaz
#

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.

ebon notch
#

fuck painsmith heroic man

#

i got PI but there was no monk buff or windfury so it cancels out

stray mural
#

It also depends if they’re leveled

supple topaz
#

Yeah they're both lvl4 atm.

stray mural
#

If you have close to 40% you should sim it and switch if it’s better

supple topaz
#

Yeah I need to build some more crit and reevaluate it.

flint arrow
#

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)

fallen arch
#

Zoldyck for keys, doomblade for raid

#

Maybe get obedience or dashing next if you play frost set

dark token
#

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)

spice spire
#

Dashing pulls ahead at the end for Necro as well

dark token
#

You have to have very high gear level and r5 frost iirc

#

Compared to venthyr where it wins right away

spice spire
#

I think r4, but yeah more of a stretch to get there

dark token
#

I personally built dashing > obedience > zoldyck

#

Since I care about raid a little more and obedience allows me to play sub too

#

@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?)

balmy condor
#

We don’t know

limber swallow
#

ok, thanks. Hoping it's just the initial because that'd be confusing shit

balmy condor
#

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

limber swallow
#

yea, otherwise, it'd be doing a lot of calculation every single time you CT rather than just running apply_aura

indigo mulch
#

I don't think dots were affected by a limit cap ever though right?

#

I'm pretty sure that's the case atleast.

limber lion
#

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"

Your gear is so nutty
