or run triple threat

ebon notch
#

I miss outlaw but damn does sin feel clean

steel ridge
#

and slash around like a rockstar

ebon notch
#

Except with dashing you sometimes reach a weird deadzone where you're struggling to refresh all your buffs and keep envenom buff up and pool

#

All at the same time

#

That's kinda cringe

steel ridge
#

what does that have to do with dashing?

willow eagle
#

Only zoomers play outlaw so it's fine, no pain felt from playing the spec

ebon notch
#

Because the dashing buff is a big chunk of energy regen

#

And you get it from envenom

steel ridge
#

i thought deadzones are built into the spec

ebon notch
steel ridge
#

outlaw has those deadzones aswell, when you roll grand melee five times in a row

willow eagle
#

You got that covered with cto tho

steel ridge
#

helps

ebon notch
#

Outlaw deadzones feel worse for some reason

#

Maybe it's cause your bleeds and poisons on sin are still ticking for frost set

steel ridge
#

yep

#

when outlaw hits a deadzone, its literally struggling for air

ebon notch
#

So if you're starved or w.e you can still get a nice 30k crit for nothing

alpine latch
#

Man, I'm stuck on what legendary to make on my alt.

steel ridge
#

sinister strike hitting for 1 cp like 10 times in a row :/

#

mutilate still hits for 3 most of the time

alpine latch
#

IDK that I'll ever get Frost to r5 so I think the play is just going Doomblade

frigid kestrel
#

I finally got my set to 5 yesterday, and now I’m happy. UH all sitting at R4, Frost R5, I guess I’ll work on the blood set now….. just because

alpine latch
#

Yeah, this is just an alt

#

I got AotC on it and IDK how much raiding I'll actually do

#

It's mostly a character to do m+ with friends on

#

My main is Horde but I still have a lot of friends that play Alliance

frigid kestrel
#

I should start working on my Horde Rogue again. The problem is it’s still necro.

alpine latch
#

I just took my Alliance one from Necro to Venthyr

#

I really like Necro, but it was fucking me up having two different soulbind abilities

#

I'm not good enough to do that.

shrewd helm
#

I just swapped to Venthyr on main rogue as well and definitely glad I did.

spice spire
#

Literally dead is a bit of a grandiose statement. But it is not the absolute best for any spec, no.

#

Literally dead is like

#

Venom rush and exsanguinate

karmic crystal
#

I think kyrian sub still likes unholy

willow eagle
#

Ye unholy is still balling for sub

karmic crystal
#

But it’s a bit of a diceroll ye

ebon notch
#

Love frost consistency

#

So bis

tribal obsidian
#

I kind of want to try sin but i feel like its more important to have two good weapons then sub

hollow river
#

O.o?

plain thistle
#

i would say its the opossite

tribal obsidian
#

Really

plain thistle
#

since sub gains more dps with sylvanas dagger

#

than us

tribal obsidian
#

Isnt mutilate double weapon pretty important on the OH compared to sub

plain thistle
#

just main hand

hollow river
#

Sin likes good stat daggers

tribal obsidian
#

Hmm

hollow river
#

And a sylv OH depending on ilvl

willow eagle
#

Isn't sylv dagger like not that huge for sin?

tribal obsidian
#

I dunno why i can't get sin to sim very well

shrewd helm
hollow river
#

Yeah it’s not huge

tribal obsidian
#

Currently im sub with blood and lfr sylv dagger OH

hollow river
willow eagle
#

I recall doing a gear compare and it was like 100 dps diff

tribal obsidian
#

Tried simming scoundrel with max frost to see

spice spire
#

Post the juice @tribal obsidian

hollow river
spice spire
tribal obsidian
#

I dont have it on me

#

Will have to try again when im off work

willow eagle
#

If you have an account in raidbots

#

You can login and have access to sim history

tribal obsidian
#

Oh right i can check history

spice spire
#

Yessir

hollow river
tribal obsidian
#

Fuck

#

Its slice

#

Gdi

#

I think i was drunk that night or something

spice spire
#

Explains it bearJAM

hollow river
tribal obsidian
#

Yea explain why it was saying blood was better then frost at same level too

willow eagle
#

Is blood on sin not good?

tribal obsidian
#

Frost is supposed to be bis dunno resimming now even though the gear is outdated

willow eagle
#

Yeah it ain't good

tribal obsidian
#

Sim shows blood better for me as sin

spice spire
#

Still seems low suspicious

tribal obsidian
#

Maybe cause gear

#

Yea it's 1k lower then my sub sims

hollow river
#

At 245 that’s kinda low

willow eagle
#

Wouldn't you want to empower lashing scars over well placed steel?

hollow river
#

Yeah buts that’s like ~20 dps

ember mural
#

blood simmed higher than frost for me but havent simmed in awhile

hollow river
#

Afaik

tribal obsidian
#

This is why i was wondering if daggers being 252 are more important

#

For sin

spice spire
#

They are

fallen arch
#

Ye daggers low

spice spire
#

But that’s still really low

fallen arch
#

Crap leggo

spice spire
#

Your OH doesn’t matter that much

#

And 246 is fineish

fallen arch
#

Whats your shards set rank?

tribal obsidian
#

The sim had scoundrel and frost in it so guess just need gear

hollow river
#

His leggo isn’t crap?

spice spire
#

Hhh I think we have a low crit gamer

hollow river
#

Oof

spice spire
#

Removed blood from equation, they sim 100 points higher rn

tribal obsidian
#

Weird

#

Shouldn't it pick highest

spice spire
#

I removed them on replace

#

I’ll post updated sim shortly Prayge

#

I did a few extra replacements as well

proper pendant
#

assassination has too many fucking legendarys and quite frankly its fuckin annoying

tribal obsidian
#

The gear is a bit dated as i have sylv dagger oh now

fallen arch
#

Necro master race

proper pendant
#

based take coming in

#

i fucking hate necro

#

that shield

#

so annoying

tribal obsidian
#

I just swapped

pure moth
tribal obsidian
#

I was kyrian

spice spire
#

There’s legit like 4 legendaries tops.

hollow river
spice spire
#

And that’s huge minmaxing tbf

#

You can slide with two no problem

hollow river
#

I was singing the same necro song at the end of 9.0.5

spice spire
#

Even with Doomblade, frost set will be good

hollow river
#

I loved necro but

#

Meh

spice spire
fallen arch
#

And i feel quadruple meh about door of shadows

willow eagle
#

Resounding clarity sin rogue PeepoThink

hollow river
#

Door of shadows is op

willow eagle
#

Slamming those 7cp envenoms during a shiv vendetta window

hollow river
#

Gonna try and use to get to the other side of balls on painsmith tmrw

#

Haven’t tried yet

tribal obsidian
#

Honestly didn't mind kyrian sub

#

With resounding

willow eagle
#

Gonna have to do some kyrian simms

fallen arch
#

Ye I contemplated resounding with sin

#

But it just doesn’t sim well?

willow eagle
#

No idea yet

fallen arch
#

Well, for the top profiles it doesn’t

tribal obsidian
#

The cd reduction on repri on multi target is prob overlooked too

fallen arch
#

Can’t imagine why it would be better than what you run now for you?

tribal obsidian
#

Phone dying goodbye

fallen arch
#

Idk rogue sims are usually pretty on point

willow eagle
#

I just think it might be fun to slam 4 big envenoms during a short window

spice spire
#

Whíspyr actually cracked

willow eagle
#

Dashing frost looks alright

keen mantle
#

Is venthyr or necro stronger for Sin rogue?

fallen arch
#

First post

keen mantle
#

is dashing scoundrel really a thing for single targeT?

spice spire
#

Yes

keen mantle
#

it works with frost set

#

i see

tribal obsidian
#

34

shrewd helm
#

Not an expert but I think you’re supposed to be close to 40% for frost sin

tribal obsidian
#

Ah k will keep that in mind

spice spire
#

Yes, the closer to 40, the better it will sim, I’m at about 38% and frost r4 just overtook r5 unholy for me

shrewd helm
#

My gear is up dog and I just swapped to Venthyr but im running 37% crit and rank 3 frost

#

I’m only 25ish renown so only have one potency slot unlocked.

spice spire
#

M+ talented gamer as well Prayge

buoyant kraken
#

Is sub or assa better for the last 3 bosses on mythic?

karmic crystal
#

What do you like to play more

untold nest
#

All rogue speccs are good. Outlaw kinda sucks for sylvanas but other than that play what you are best at. Its

karmic crystal
#

Assa fans will say through fogs of copium that assa is better and sub just pads

spice spire
karmic crystal
#

Sub fans will say sub is better because they like to play sub and assassination is brain poison to them

spice spire
ornate dawn
karmic crystal
#

But the truth is that you can pick whatever you like

#

There will never be a wipe because you chose one spec over the other

spice spire
#

^

karmic crystal
#

Playing assa makes you a more viable PI target for whatever that may be worth to you

spice spire
#

Externals are for the weak

Wclog stats that don't mean much

shrewd helm
tribal obsidian
#

Surprised logs doesnt remove the small adds

spice spire
#

I mean they do, just not without context. Like are you doing 95? 75?

willow eagle
#

Small adds are nice for mfd resets

#

95

proper pendant
#

imagine caring about parsing in a dead game

willow eagle
#

Sub and assa are a fair bit above on boss damage tho

dull cloak
#

outlaw has a higher ceiling for damage

lavish lichen
#

Overall or on boss you mean?

scarlet warren
#

not sure what he meant but ever since they buffed frost set bonus outlaw has simmed around ~150 dps higher than sin

#

but from what ive seen and played of it so far its not the easiest to get max value out of

#

who knows maybe im just shit lol

lavish lichen
#

Doesn’t really mean much at all

ebon notch
#

the deviation in terms of maximum and lowest dps for outlaw is huge tho

lavish lichen
#

The top 100 rogue logs on slyv boss damage have 1 single Outlaw at 79. Top 100 overall damage have like 6 outlaws. If you wanted to look at “ceiling” of each spec on that boss

thin gate
#

SBS only in opener and @heirmir crit proc window right?

lavish lichen
ebon notch
#

its still far higher than sin no?

lavish lichen
#

In a 5 minute sim? I believe so

#

Higher** idk about FAR higher

wintry mica
#

im pretty sure its like a sub 1% difference at full bis gear

#

in sims

dull cloak
ebon notch
#

compared between the two specs

#

not the sim itself

wintry mica
#

oh then yea outlaw definitely higher variance

#

you can see it in all of the overalls that there are less high and low outliers for sin

#

its why we were one of the top dps classes for the first few weeks

#

if you go buy wclog data

lavish lichen
#

You can’t look at the lows on WCL

#

That is impacted by spec difficulty

wintry mica
#

yea which has a direct impact on the deviation between max and min dps right

lavish lichen
#

No?

#

We are talking about min and max assuming you are playing the spec optimally

#

Why would you consider the minimum from a player that doesn’t know what they are doing

wintry mica
#

because if you are just talking about variance when played optimally its obvious that outlaw has higher variance

ebon notch
#

im purely talking about sim variance

#

because looking at player variance is completely unreliable

wintry mica
#

right, the only variance purely optimal sin play has to deal with would be cp generation from seal fate, compared to rtb buffs and procs and what not, but as far as i'm aware margin of error for both sims is still 0.05%-0.1%

ebon notch
#

margin of error is different to deviation in dps though

wintry mica
#

yea but deviation in dps is mostly covered by the fact that the sim runs thousands of iterations over different timeframes

proper pendant
#

where?

spice spire
#

OT tricks

#

Oh no

proper pendant
#

no i mean where did i ask

spice spire

proper pendant
spice spire
#

Whispyr is asleep exsangery

lavish lichen
#

Its not 1%

proper pendant
wintry mica
#

yea the full html reports will show you dps range

#

it was about 1k for sin on the sim i just ran

ebon notch
#

yeah margin of error is literally just telling you that the specific sim in that deviation is within 0.5-1% margin of error

#

not that the dps is within that range

lavish lichen
#

My argument is more so that absolute min and max (even in sims) isn’t really relevant as those are obviously outliers

wintry mica
#

i mean no one plays to sim levels thats for sure

lavish lichen
#

I mean on average ofc not, sims don’t do any mechanics

wintry mica
#

the outlaw sim I just ran had a bovut 50% higher dps range over all iterations than sin

rocky pecan
#

No one play to sim level and no boss play like sim level tho

proper pendant
#

sacum does tbh he plays sin and hes p good

rocky pecan
#

What good mean

alpine latch
#

I beat my sims all of the time... Granted it's on Tarragrue, but don't be mean about it.

spice spire

I beat sims on a few fights tbh

I can't get a 252ilvl weapon for the life of me ...but I have 2 sylv daggers now and I hate playing sub...

ebon notch
#

@balmy condor why do envenom crits vary so much in opener?

#

like im in shiv and vendetta window

ebon notch
#

but they can vary like 2-5k

#

even if theyre 4cp envenoms

brazen timber
#

If I got the heroic sylv dagger

#

My life would be so much better

I wish it was better tbh

when is scoundrel better than doomblade?

scoundrel when sim better

solid nymph
#

I think the threshold for me is rank 5 frost gems, at rank 4 it’s break even according to Sims

#

Between scoundrel/doom

wintry mica
#

It also depends a bit on cov, doomblade has higher value for necro

harsh lantern
#

when do I farm necro renown

#

now or later

solid nymph
#

True, i am necro

wintry mica
harsh lantern
#

cool cool

wintry mica
#

But it’s not that bad to catch-up if you want to do it now

harsh lantern
#

Yeah I’ve been doing it on my alt wasn’t bad to catch up

#

But I haven’t touched necro on rogue yet

hollow river
#

Think you have to have 40 with that cov on at least one toon don’t you?

wintry mica
#

Nope you just have to have the cov campaign finished on at least one toon to skip it. The 40 renown thing is separate

hollow river
#

Ahh. true true

brazen zodiac
#

hi ray

hollow river
#

I need to do the NF campaign on something before 9.1.5

brazen zodiac
#

Wait so if I make an alt and then do the necro campaign I can skip it on my main?

#

Is there like a number to reach or do you gotta complete up to max renown

ebon notch
#

hi vita

wintry mica
#

I think you just have to finish the covenant campaign up to where it ended pre 9.1

#

before it sends you to korthia

Necrolord Assa's: do you cancel aura / delay your marrowed Gemstone from Heirmir and line it up with Frost Set proc? seems too much work for that kind of min max

spice spire
#

Hell no lmao

balmy condor
#

yeah that's a no

#

we don't do that

whole pilot
#

is it even possible to cancel aura it anymore? im sure that got changed very early in the expansion

gloomy knoll
#

i wouldn't do that even if it was a thing

slow marsh
#

Yeah not worth

#

It's just 18%

I could see some merit if it was a MA 50% but even then I don't think it's worth

You never mut, u just use blindside proc

Can’t get the proc if you don’t mut tho

bro during lust while playing BS/DS

i just gave up on blindside procs

The ultimate min-min move

soulrender is a dogshit boss

regardless of spec

but you can get some fattttt envenoms on double branded overlords

Guys i have a question about Necrolord Opener:
I open with SBS SND Muti Garrote Full CP Rupture Muti Vendetta Shiv (At this point i get the Heirmir proc where i should Vanish) But i got 42% Base Crit and hit 60% Here should i hold the vanish for after the heimir proc or just overlap it

#

bcs 110% crit is troll aint it

balmy condor
#

overlap it

thin gate
#

the question i have is actually should i vanish in Heirmir crit window

#

aight ty.

spice spire
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

you want the shiv in vanish

#

uh

#

vanish in shiv

thin gate
#

i c i c

#

tyvm.

spice spire
#

Also 110% means no 3CP muts right? catpleading

thin gate
#

yh the 3 cp hurt

#

and outside of heirmir i only use SBS for Cleave right

#

and never sbs in MA window

spice spire
#

For both other soulbinds you want to use them as opportune as possible. As lead by example (emeni) is an agility buff, while Kevin’s Oozeling is another damage buff that procs from sbs

thin gate
#

and as Heirmir only when his proc comes up (besides opener proc)

spice spire
#

Or to prevent overcap

thin gate
#

yh i c i c ty

spice spire
#

Which if you do with his proc, you absolutely shouldn’t hit cap

thin gate
#

aight ty

spice spire
#

Any time, best of luck papi happybear

#

Also during opener proc (if you can fit it in) you’re good with dumping after the initial burst afaik

small bramble
#

unholy keeps siming better than frost… how much base crit do i need to make frost overtake unholy

alpine latch
#

Ugh, fml. I'm still torn on what leggo to make on my alt.

thin gate
#

im at 42% @small bramble but i think anything over 35% should be fine

spice spire
thin gate
#

and even at 42-45% it tells me to get even more crit

spice spire

#

Yeah, I have an Alliance rogue too

#

Took it Venthyr for m+

#

i guess Obedience is good if u want ST and AOE

spice spire

Yeah I’d just send obe for m+

mossy crown
#

can I do any tricks with chains?

#

on soulrender?

balmy condor
#

cloak it as your snapping it

mossy crown
#

cool cool

wintry mica
#

And it’s obvious but you should feint when other sets of chains are popping

ebon notch
#

i save cloak for bad dance

#

or for adds at the end

#

i usually feint while im mid gate

rich wren
#

Feint in the gate and cloak one of the ones with less raid cds on it, or just use it for dam xd

cerulean raft
#

guys on remnant myth, how do i play the outer bomb? my shadowstep just does not seem to work there >.<

halcyon zealot
#

cause you really don’t have much time, it has to be quick

wintry mica
#

also it may not be a big difference but the shadowstep range conduit is nice

cerulean raft
#

do i have to turn b4 step?

wintry mica
#

no

#

you just have to step before you are off the platform

#

if you have the WA the timing is easy

cerulean raft
ebon notch
#

make sure the boss is pulled closer to the edge of the platform

#

and you wanna shadowstep to the boss

#

makes it way easier

#

but like ray said you have to do it before you get off hte platform

wintry mica
#

yea just make sure ur in range of the boss and step when the cast bar ends

#

if you are too close to the edge the timing can be too tight

ebon notch
#

wheni explained to my raid leader that it was cancer for rogues he put me on the inside almost every time

#

unless we literally didnt have a choice

#

hunters/boomies/goblins/w.e can do it so much easier

#

can also get the tank to spellwarding a priest so they can grip you back on but thats a bit of a stretch

oak sky
#

its not bad with the md weakaura

bleak sky
#

tfw want to play havoc DH but RL wants to make me choose between rogue or dh

#

no dual character allowed sadge

halcyon zealot
#

this is probably gonna ruin it for me, but all through prog and all our reclears i honestly think i’ve been choosen for the dispel like less than 10 times

#

haven’t had to worry about it much thankfully

oak sky
#

one time i got stopped by terrain during the dispel

#

that was a weird one

cerulean raft
#

yeah sometimes you get kicked off the plattform, sometimes in the middle, and othertimes you just dont move at all

dry galleon
#

if im going to be mainly doing m+ but i run with a group that usually has alot more aoe dps wat lego should i be making as necro, dashing or zoldyck

#

eventually ill make both but which should be the first

halcyon zealot
#

i’d say doomblade is better than dashing in that scenario also, but i’d personally still use zoldyck

zoldyck is better still

being this spec is probably enough st

doesn’t it say on raidbots it’s similar to horridon from ToT or something

or is that not hectic add cleave

idk i’ve never ran a single hectic add cleave sim

“Consists of a single boss target, waves of 5 adds for 15 seconds every 22 seconds, and constant moderate movement”

#

no

balmy condor

kt has way less adds

kel thuzad is ST LeTroll

balmy condor

5 adds

#

every 22 seconds

#

for 15 seconds

#

that's 70% uptime on 6 target

#

lmao

#

more aoe than m+

lavish lichen
#

Yes its not great, but even dslice and patchwerk aren’t perfect yet they are still good enough for gear comparisons

#

You don’t need to model a scenario perfectly to make gear comparisons

#

Dslice starts with a ~135 second boss fight (45% of sim length), that’s certainly not representative of every dungeon

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

It’s just slightly worse in cleave, and there happens to be a lot of that in sanctum

Tempest is go to for a lot of fights in last slot then?

And ep/vigor?

balmy condor

No

it depends on the fight

Poison bomb for most of it

It’s perfectly fine as sin, trash on adds of course but they get melted by the pad squad anyways. I tend to be top 2 boss & ball damage as sin which is all that really matters

Crit/mast or crit/haste works fine for zold

ye sims tellin me to put crit haste rings on aswell but ithought we hard stack mastery 😮

hello, do we use agi potion or phantom fire potion on raid? for example mythic guardian

nah i have both crit mastry rings and crit haste and zold in crit mast n haste i just dont trust sims telin me to run haste in m+

zinc frost

#

Okay, I thought I heard smth about agi was better

#

thanks

deft obsidian

Little in it but more consistency with agi pots generally

scenic dawn

plus just feels better to use imo

subtle otter
#

Is it stupid of me to wanting to switch to Necro from Venthyr? is there a major dps diff between them two?

hollow river
#

No and no

#

ST difference roughly 2%

#

Iirc

zinc frost
#

Yeah not a huge difference. Go play necro if you enjoy it more

hollow river
#

Necro just doesn’t use dashing over doomblade in most cases

subtle otter
hollow river
#

Yeah, usually. Doomblade and frost set.

#

Could always sim the difference

#

Btw

#

Between Venthyr/necro and doomblade/dashing

spice spire
subtle otter
#

thx, how do u sim different covenant choices?

#

without actually swapping

spice spire
#

Top gear, select “unlock all soulbinds”

subtle otter
#

ah I see now! thanks

zinc frost
hollow river
#

I know at “bis” levels it pulls ahead barely

agile geode
#

For me 248 itemlvl 42% crit necro sin, dashing Is simming higher by 30 dps and 140 cleave

spice spire
hollow river
#

Ye okay 👌

spice spire
#

And that’s with r5 frost

agile geode
#

Rotation a bit smoother

hollow river
#

It definitely shouldn’t be simming higher on cleave?

agile geode
#

With dashing ofc

hollow river
#

Afaik whispyr said doomblade is better in cleave

agile geode
#

It does for me

#

Exept in 3 target

hollow river
#

Weird

agile geode
#

Btw they're really close

#

As necro It doesnt really mind

subtle otter
#

seems to be 400 dps difference between venthyr and necro for me

hollow river
#

All I know is whispyr’s spreadsheet had doomblade ahead in basically any cleave

#

But those are with different gear than you’ve got so

hollow river
subtle otter
#

yeah but only got it in 235 tbf

hollow river
#

Well your gear is probably set up for Venthyr too

#

Necro tends to like more haste than Venthyr

subtle otter
#

I have decently high haste already, around 21%

#

and 42% crit

hollow river
#

Well in the “bis” sims in the faq channel the difference is around 400-500 dps too

#

So that might be right

subtle otter
#

probably. Thanks for the help

burnt star
#

As long as your above 35-40% crit and r5 frost. Dashing should beat your doomblade. Doesnt need to be bis setup or gear

#

At 240+ gear my dashing became better then my doomblade

spice spire
#

Necrolords make it fucky really

burnt star
#

Ya forget necrolord :)

#

In raid venthyr is way more fun

#

In m+ thats a diff story

manic pebble
#

Feel nice to smash those elites tho

spice spire
#

I disagree, but Venthyr still very fun. But yeah that’s like the only way you get away with it, and even then dashing will eventually yoink ahead

burnt star
#

I dont really get the "necro is fun" in raid when the counter argument is. Flag is boring. They are basicly the same thing.

#

U only sbs on gemproc

#

And u flag on cd

#

The soulbind from venthyr is the fun part

#

Not the ability

Sepsis should have been stealth

But nah. Too much fun

#

Instead of that useless grants a stealth ability that doesnt really combine with any of our toolkit on any of the 3 spec

Might’ve been okay with shrouded suffocation

#

I still think that should have been a talent or something

hello guys, looking at the wclogs sylvanas mythic i see alot of people using doomblade, is it better than dashing legendary for that fight?

What makes it better than dashing?

spice spire
#

The fact that people are comfy with Doomblade play style and they already had it made

pure walrus
#

If you dont mind explaining how does doomblade playstyle differs from dashing?

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Doomblade is generally better for lower frost ranks and when using the unholy set, it also tends to perform better with heavy movement and the EP/Vig talents.

gusty mirage
#

Actual trash tier ability

limber lion
#

However, they're both very close to one another, so you can honestly play either. I've had excellent results with both.

#

@pure walrus

doomblade CT for pad/farm, pb dashing for progress

i kind of agree

but its good padding

yeah i know

This is your own log and CT damage

Most of this damage comes from P3

#

not p2

#

not p1

#

from literally single target

#

p3

full tree
#

@limber lion are u talking about mythic or heroic?

limber lion
#

You literally did less than 150k damage on all the adds with CT

#

Throughout the entire fight

#

That's awful

#

idk maybe you are right, first time i tested it out yesterday

and it feels like shit too

haha

This is what it looks like without the Sylvanas p3

like lmao

#

that's how i felt when i accidently took CT in painsmith

limber lion
#

But yeah, it's not great.

brazen zodiac
#

do people do that tho

limber lion
#

You sacrifice a bunch of p3 damage as well by using CT/DB instead of PB/Dashing

Some fights are fine but I think there is a commonly shared belief between most people that any fight where a raid leader tells you to take your hands off the keyboard is not a good fight

Exactly.

always in the phyl so 🤷‍♂️

#

but i hear ya

Even there you will probably be told to stop dps

i don't enjoy it as boomkin for that reason

i just see ppl speak about that after pilav cried on twitch

raiding on both Sin/Boom in two different places

1 month ago no one speak about "stop dps"

nope all about that increase in gear messes with phase timings etc sometimes good sometimes bad

But one thing remains

#

You must stop dps

plain thistle

"I pay this game to not play it"our DK everytime our raid leader says stop dps silenceheathen

so the problem is boss design or gear design

it has been an issue since castle nathria my guy

it's not just this tier
