pepew sorry to bastardize your work chief

hollow river
#

Whispyr did you actually go outlaw for a fight or was that a meme

balmy condor
#

I played like 15 pulls on painsmith as outlaw cause we were dps stopping and my dps didn’t matter

hollow river
#

How did it feel?

balmy condor
#

Pretty trash

hollow river
#

We’ve only been baiting the P1 hammer and been aiming to push the rest for the most part. We hit 2% last night

#

Ouch

balmy condor
#

But acro strikes makes balls pretty comfy

hollow river
#

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

#

As sub I tend to just nado/storm balls and evis boss

#

Unless the ball actually makes it a few squares from where it started

#

But even as sin, my dps has been really bad and idk why. Only for this fight.

#

I feel like I’m losing a lot of my frost procs or something

frozen zenith
#

sharp stones + phantom fire in raids or oil + phantom fire?

balmy condor
#

!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

#

you were legit doing the same damage LOL

lavish lichen
#

anti outlaw propaganda

balmy condor
#

It was all flurry on balls tho

"2nd highest ball damage"

😂

balmy condor
#

I can’t keep up with havoc man

#

Chaos bolt half hits balls

#

:(

leaden pawn
#

Is the necro ability still bugged?

balmy condor
#

Depends what bugs

#

But yes

#

They reverted the 9.0.5 bugs to 9.0

arctic hare
#

HAHA!

#

I won a roll for PHIAL!

balmy condor
#

How many runs?

arctic hare
#

heh...

#

What If I were to tell you

#

that I haven't farmed for it like, at all

#

not actively at least

#

If the amount of runs were there, probably like 10? at most

balmy condor
#

Gz

#

That’s hella lucky

arctic hare
#

Yeah

#

its at 226 atm so I'm simming to see if its better than 252 IQD, which I highly doubt

#

Otherwise, it'll just be puttin valor into it

#

Next goal is to either get a 252 OH or a 252 Phial

#

So why is it that Phial is just so powerful? i mean, its a 30 second dot every 5 seconds, does it just increase the dmg if it stacks up?

balmy condor
#

Does a lot of damage

arctic hare
#

Like, stacks 3 times,

#

Does that mean the dmg ticks will stack up to three times? or will it be my next 3 melee hits or somethin like that

#

holy christ

#

Its actually better than a 252 IQD

#

at 226 of all ilvls

#

Wait, can it apply to multiple targets?

balmy condor
#

No

#

It applies randomly to one target

arctic hare
#

Dannnnnng lol

#

Hmm, now to try simming it for AOE, see which one is better

#

Oh, 226 beats out a 226 SFA

#

in pure ST though

#

Oh crap, you're right

balmy condor
#

Just comes into channel, doesn’t know any better, doesn’t read the faq

sacred zodiac
#

from faq Q: Is phial affected by shiv?
A: No, most of our buffs are 'whitelisted', meaning they only affect specifically our spells. This means shiv does not affect trinket, the extra crit from master assassin does not affect trinkets or necrotic wake weapons, ep is only our spells, nightstalker doesn’t work on trinkets, etc. There are very few exceptions to this, such as between the eyes on outlaw, and deeper daggers affecting all shadow damage on sub. Sin has no such interaction. (Alacrity is just raw haste, which does have some interactions).

balmy condor
#

And then lies

#

It’s even the main question

#

I could’ve been like “are trinkets affected by our buffs”

#

Man hits the nail on the head

#

And doesn’t realize it’s a screw

sacred zodiac
#

blind leading the blind

zinc frost
arctic hare
#

Lol

#

I read it a while ago, just totally forgot about the trinkets, I'm just happy to have it regardless of whether or not shiv works with it

balmy condor
#

Nah I’m not mad at you

arctic hare
#

Ahh, okay

balmy condor
#

It’s the guy that just drops in to say some nonsense

All fine

sacred zodiac
#

keep holding shiv for that sweet phial cd tho

balmy condor
#

The moment you pretend to know

#

That’s when we got issues

zinc frost
#

Pretend to know and impart “wisdom”

balmy condor
#

Or something like that

#

Idk who said it

#

:/

obtuse robin
#

bruce lee said that i think

balmy condor
#

Maybe, seems too philosophical for Bruce lee though

obtuse robin
#

lee was liek that tho

#

u must flow like water etc

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

He was more metaphorical

#

Anyway

#

Trinkets aren’t buffed by anything

zinc frost
#

People just pick up things here and there and just interpret to something completely wrong

balmy condor
#

And that’s the lesson we all learned

zinc frost
#

Then go “oh but whispyr said that” even tho it was not even close OMEGAKEKW

quasi venture
balmy condor
#

I’m glad he’s feeling the frustration too

zinc frost
#

Just lots of voodoo-feelycraft

unborn eagle
#

people that have like 40% crit how much haste do u have?

gusty mirage
#

I have 47% crit and 17% haste

working on the frost swap

strange python
#

wait i just read that whitelist thing thats cringe

#

u cant buff stuff like phial

balmy condor
#

Nope

#

Vendetta doesn’t work either, neither does elaborate planning

strange python
#

it hasn't always been this way though, surely? i could swear that some years ago effects like these would buff things like procs and trinkets

balmy condor
#

Trinkets and external things like blood/frost are their own thing

gusty mirage
#

how about if I press the bind really hard? whispyrhmm @balmy condor

balmy condor
strange python
#

ahh

balmy condor
#

There’s still some things that are global

#

Celerity for example

#

Or deeper daggers buffing all your shadow damage, including blood set

#

But then there’s things like shadowgrasp totem, which counts as a pet, so that doesn’t get buffed by deeper daggers

#

Generally speaking, if you have to ask “does X interact with Y trinket/effect” the answer is typically no

strange python
obtuse robin
#

but cev told me

#

jk

viral locust
#

You guys think it's better to run Obedi or Zold for M+ as Sin? (I'm venthyr, obviously.)

zinc frost
#

Both are good, zold will give you more consistent damage - obedience will give you more uptime with flag where you can almost have it up for every pack. I run obedience in higher keys personally.

viral locust
#

I just want my overall to look good. 😅

#

And then do you run Theotar or Nadija?

zinc frost
#

Theo for m plus

stiff mural
#

question:

I was checking around on WCL and i saw that dashing scoundrel/bloodstained shroud were used about evenly. Dashing "was" simming highest for me until i finally fot my 3rd frost shard this week for assasination.. now it's saying bloodstained is much higher now. Anyone got this as well?

balmy condor
#

seems weird

hollow river
#

hmm yes, indeed

#

very weird

balmy condor
#

Usually higher level frost will skew more and more towards dashing

#

What we working with iLvL/crit/covenant wise

stiff mural
#

239 ilvl (no sylv daggers just 246/242 daggers from m+) my crit isss 33% and im venth

arctic walrus
#

link it

balmy condor
#

Lil low on the crit front but I would assume dashing better

#

Unless it’s like

#

Rank 1 frost

stiff mural
#

yea im like 9 stygian from rank 2

#

is the damage jump huge from rank 1? i noticed this winds damage was kinda creeping up towards my top 4 dps overall on a lot of things id have been dpsing

arctic walrus
#

no you're just reading it wrong

#

in your original sim, it's starting you off with poisoned katar as a conduit

#

that change alone is what is resulting in +200 damage, by putting in the proper conduits

#

this is what the actual difference is for legendaries, but this margin will only grow smaller as you upgrade frost more and more

stiff mural
#

yea, i caus ei also do M+ and i put the right ones into my sim then i decided to add the option for the other back leggo to compare out of curiousity

balmy condor
brazen zodiac
#

i have seen the way

#

the way of the zoldyck whispyrpog

balmy condor
brazen zodiac
#

whats the average sim in dslice anyways?

#

or average overall? on most dungeons i can get to like 9kish but i dont rly have any frame of reference of whats high or not

zinc frost
#

9-10k is good for overall, you can pump higher but it’s just dependent on how big your group pulls

winged kindle
#

Overalls will vary based on group, dungeon, and key lvl. And affixes. But 9k is decent, however there’s lots of variables to consider

#

Use your overall as a personal baseline and see if you can improve without losing out on interrupts and taking unnecessary damage. That’s what I do at least

balmy condor
#

The actual number on dslice doesn’t really matter that much

unborn eagle
gusty mirage
#

doom's just really good for necro cuz of sbs

unborn eagle
#

ya im not to worried about it got to rank up the shards first anyways tel/kyr only r2 atm

brazen zodiac
balmy condor
#

nothing

brazen zodiac
#

i see i see

balmy condor
#

dslice shows a mix of single target, cleave, and aoe

#

it doesn't reflect any dungeon in particular

#

nor should it

brazen zodiac
#

yeah i figured that much

balmy condor
#

there's too much variation for the number to mean anything

brazen zodiac
#

i just kinda thought it was like st + 2 additional mobs or somethin like that

#

how come its considered relatively accurate for rogue specifically then?

balmy condor
#

2 minute boss fight followed by 4 minutes of alternating small/large packs

#

that have variance in both their times as well as pack size

brazen zodiac
#

ah

balmy condor
brazen zodiac
#

i see i see

balmy condor
#

dungeonslice brings with it a host of things that normal sims don't really have to care for

#

like varying target counts

#

the time to death of mobs

dry galleon
#

how do u use fusion trinket after ur opener, do u save for vendetta or just send it on cd

balmy condor
#

warrior APL for example is single target, aoe, and that's it

#

sin apl adjusts timings based on how many targets are bleeded, when things are going to die, etc etc

brazen zodiac
#

vendetta doesnt effect trinkets

#

i think

balmy condor
#

nothing does

#

the only thing that affects trinkets is vers, crit, and depending on the trinkets, haste

#

so there's some slight gains for casting hasted trinkets during flag

balmy sage
#

Hi, basic things to play assa in m +?

balmy condor
#

but it usually is a little sketch

zinc frost

These cover the basics unless you wanted to know something specific

wooooo

#

Im not even excited about this xpack. If i had of seen that dagger a couple months ago i may have been super stoked. But now WoW is boring the ever living crap out of me. I can barely log in...

then take a break

Personally I've seen this game go trough alot of ups and downs during my years in it. And every now and than a rough patch hits live and all hell breaks loose.

To say I've been more stoked about this game would be correct. But every time i quit it, i come back after sone time. It mighy be just nostalgia, but in all honesty, i grew up with this game, and after trying mostly every other mmo i can say for sure, at least for me, there's nothing like this game.

#

And with all its flaws, its still, in my honest and humble opinion the best game I've played.

amber fossil
#

I can appreciate that, Tyra. There is a reason why many have played this game for decades, but for me, the most impactful, ass cliching fun I had was playing Tribes 2. It was a real eye opener.

velvet nacelle
#

winds doing 60k average hit is sexuaaaaaaal

#

now if i could just get my ilvl up

plain thistle
#

you would do something like 80-90k winds 😛

velvet nacelle
#

i've been screwed by my vault for like 4 weeks in a row

#

pulled the 3 tokens every week

#

in fairness, i've only done 1 15 a week

plain thistle
#

I actually did a 110k hit last night, on roh kalo

velvet nacelle
#

haven't gotten a drop from the dungeons or anything from the vault

#

i keep getting dom socket slots

#

or like rings with terrible stats

balmy condor
#

cev hit like 200k last week

slim pebble
#

I’m 0/10 on this damn dagger on heroic and normal

velvet nacelle
#

i got the dagger on normal on my first run which is how i knew i'd never get the heroic this tier

#

still using a 226 as my offhand

ebon notch
#

My peak was 120k on fate

opaque tree
#

I just have a question about Crimson Temp if anyone could give me some insight. I use it for keys, but on ST fights, is it worth it to keep it up?

#

not having the envenom buff feelsbadman

zinc frost
#

It’s worth if using doomblade or zoldyck

opaque tree
#

wait, doomblade benefits from the bleed dot?

#

I thought it was only garrote, rupture, and SBS

gusty mirage
#

Only thing that changes that is if you’re playing dashing

zinc frost
#

^

glass tulip
#

dashing scoundrel seems kind of sus

opaque tree
#

okay, ty

zinc frost
glass tulip
#

just testing leggos on different raid encounters and obviously lots of things can change but dps just seems low and slow compared to others

zinc frost
#

Dashing benefits off high crit and frost set which is why it sims the highest for most

limber lion
glass tulip
#

I have a rank 4 frost set and 42% crit

#

so that's not the issue but im just not sure what is. comparing it to my most similar kill time / ilvl it was 600+ dps lower so maybe I just had a dogshit fight

#

idk I guess I'll keep swapping it in and out to see

zinc frost
#

Are you venth or necro? Necro doesn’t benefit as much from dashing but shouldn’t be that much of a decrease in dps.

gentle flower
#

im trying to be a mut roguee

#

is this normal

glass tulip
#

venthyr

#

like I said, Im just gonna swap it in and out bc there's no easy diagnosis here

rocky pecan
#

Cev using trash weapon on boss 😎🔫 ahhaah

#

Did I see ambush? I think I never pressed this touch since I play sin may I'm wrong?

gentle flower
#

blindside

rocky pecan
#

Oh

gentle flower
#

sims higher for me than planning

rocky pecan
#

I hate blindiside

#

Y for all it sim better almose

#

Almost*

lean coral
#

yeah most people dont play blindside even tho it sims higher

rocky pecan
#

But not that much ppl like

gentle flower
#

so um

#

new to mut rogues

vestal wren
#

ep might end up better next tier, but its hard to predict

gentle flower
#

how do i aoe

#

just spam fan of knives?

lean coral
#

fok spread rupture if shits gonna live long enough

#

if not just evenom main target

#

CT if speccedinto it

balmy condor
gentle flower
#

that was heroic guardian btw

#

and alright neat

brazen zodiac
#

can sin hit like 10k dps overall generally in dungeons or am i learning outlaw for keys whispyrcry

zinc frost
#

Hit 10.5k in a 20 mists yesterday, so yep! Can definitely pump

brazen zodiac
#

:D

#

can i ask what your stats were and such? maybe my gears not where it should be for m+ then

#

i feel like ive only ever hit like 9kish overall maybe/mostly less

zinc frost
#

Stats are 45 crit, 13 haste and 30 mastery

brazen zodiac
#

oh and some 233 Dom socket instead

#

hm

zinc frost
#

That’s using obedience as well. But should be able to achieve more with zold. Just all comes down to how big your tank is pulling as well

brazen zodiac
#

current sim

#

hm maybe obedience is bait

#

or maybe I just suck and I ain't pressing my buttons right

zinc frost
#

Gotta remember as well, d/slice is more of a guideline in m +, lots of variables to account for. Especially since I can do more overall even tho my d/slice is less.

brazen zodiac
#

do you think my gears bad

zinc frost
#

Not at all, I’d aim for some more mastery and a bit less haste though

brazen zodiac
#

weird it was telling me i needed more haste and haste was simmimg better

#

i think i have like 400ish mastery 29%

zinc frost
#

Yeah sometimes it asks for more haste in d/slice but mastery is really good in keys

shrewd night
#

Gotta remember as well, d/slice is more of a guideline in m +

#

Key words being "guide" and "line"

#

You have to take into account your team as well. Its no point gearing for overall, but rather fill the gaps of what your teammates bring. If you got trash blasters, might as well gear for singletarget etc etc

brazen zodiac
#

im guessing regardless it'd be better to use the dom pieces over regular gear for the dps shards

#

also yeah good point

zinc frost
#

Especially when your doing halls and have to tunnel the Shards. Rogues are pretty good at leveling out a pack. Especially this week when you don’t want the worst ones bolstered.

brazen zodiac
#

do you run Theo and if so do you use WPS over Katarina?

zinc frost
#

Just try not to get too caught up in overall, yeah we can pump in keys when we can but others will handle the aoe for us

brazen zodiac
#

katar*

zinc frost
#

Yeah I run Theo, I don’t use katar too much.

brazen zodiac
#

idk im still finding myself top dps in st during boss fights so i just kinda assumed i needed to up my aoe

#

do you cast shiv off cd still in aoe and evonom of

#

or*

zinc frost
#

Yeah I do

brazen zodiac
#

eveonom*

zinc frost
#

It’s good for prio damage once bleeds are up

brazen zodiac
#

usually for like big packs like the one in SD at the start i kinda just stealth 4 gar, CT like twice, vendetta some random, vanish then gar again, then apply rupture to everything, then idk scream at the screen

#

and flag somewhere in the middle lmfao

#

like after first series of gars. everything's kinda dead before i press shiv which makes me wonder if i should press it at all

#

i kinda wanna complete all 20s for the luls and maybe push into a 21 but idk if im playing properly to do it

zinc frost
#

Still good to get into the habit of pressing shiv, especially in higher keys where you need the prio damage, unless you need rage dispel. Timing 20/21s will come down to pulls, interrupts, stuns and a good route before damage becomes an issue. 9k overall is perfectly fine for a sin rogue in those keys

#

A good group will know the importance of a rogue in keys and that our aoe isn’t the best compared to others but prio damage is pretty damn good

brazen zodiac
#

hmm okie dokie

slow marsh
brazen zodiac
#

noted!

slow marsh
#

ideally on your vendetta target but just press it on something if it's on cd

brazen zodiac
#

even if im not gonna be using even?

slow marsh
#

it will still get used

brazen zodiac
#

using eveonom*

#

ah ok

slow marsh
#

it's better to use it for some damage vs holding it for a lot of damage but never using

#

just use it on anythign that will live 9 seconds

#

also if you're not flagging in aoe you should

brazen zodiac
#

yeah i am

#

i wish i had weakauras that said use x stupid bitch

#

cause even with the giant weak aura of all my abilities i can't look lmfao

#

too fixated on ccing cause lord knows nobody else will qq

slow marsh
#

i set mine to glow real menacingly-like (more like annoy tf out of me until i press)

brazen zodiac
#

mines pretty easy to see im just a troll haha

#

when should i press flag?

slow marsh
#

yeah the cc thing is why i stick with outlaw in keys right now tbh

#

press flag at full cp just like normal

brazen zodiac
#

so after shiv and before CT

#

?

slow marsh
#

so like garrote x4 shiv flag ct vendetta

brazen zodiac
#

ahh ok ill try it

slow marsh
#

using cds more often is the key for pumping those extra numbers as sin. a lot of time people hold them too much for 'prio dam'

brazen zodiac
#

yeah that's my mistake, especially with iqd

slow marsh
#

ye just slam that shit on cd

brazen zodiac
#

i just can never remember if ill have time before a boss

#

when would u recommend vanishing and reapplying

#

after cts up on all the mobs?

slow marsh
#

during garrote pandemic

frosty bridge
#

!sims

prisma monolithBOT
brazen zodiac
#

oh so reapply onto the mobs who already have it? usually i just apply it to others mobs but ig if ur referring to like 3 or 4 or 5 mobs

slow marsh
#

yeah i mean if you have a huge pull sure

#

just put it on stuff on cd

#

ezpz

brazen zodiac
#

ezpz

#

do u think I'm trolling by running titanic over phial

#

or iqd over phial

alpine garden
#

Simmed it?

slow marsh
#

no i think you can run either setup depending on what you're going for but ye i'd just sim it

brazen zodiac
#

yeah i did and it said titanic iqd but I always find Sims weird with iqd so just wanted opinions

slow marsh
#

if you dont have the iqd weak aura, get that and it sims just fine

#

but yeah that setup sounds fine for m+, the biggest thing is just getting a feel for when things die / how long it takes between packs for optimizing. Until then just slam everything on cd

brazen zodiac
#

noted thx sir

#

or maam

zinc frost
#

Timing CDs is king, knowing how much time you got for vendetta/flag to pop off.

#

@brazen zodiac good luck pumping them keys prayge

brazen zodiac
#

thank u :D

#

homework for 4 days then keys for the rest!

Why’s it so much better for sub?

glass tulip
#

what does mastery scale for rogues? aka why would I want higher mastery running M+

#

currently averaging about 9k overall with 42crit/20haste/20mast/8vers, keeping CT up, rupture on 3-4 targets, ST prio on big adds

wanton creek
#

Bleeds and poisons

#

Assuming it amplifies zoldycks effect

glass tulip
#

the speed they tick or how hard they tick?

wanton creek
#

It’s flat damage I’m sure?

glass tulip
#

also I don't use zoldycks

#

since ive already built 3 cloaks for raid lol, not farming torghast again for a minute

zinc frost
#

Yeah mastery is increased damage for bleeds/poisons. So how hard they tick over

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 showing the chest cause I think your current chest doesn't have an enchant?

#

@alpine garden nope, the last 2 bosses need to be downed every week I thought?

drifting cloud
#

they do not

woven ruin
#

So if I just down the 1st 3 on heroic every week, I'll get a chance at heroic sylv loot?

drifting cloud
#

if youve killed her once yes

Seems to be abandonded though. There is no info after Eye.

balmy condor
#

yeah been really busy

#

with uh

#

stuff

#

not abandoned though

#

just really slow

winter vapor
#

its a lot to go through

#

but ty

#

can we cloak guardian bombs?

balmy condor
#

yes it removes them completely

winter vapor
#

mutters after being beaten by spriest ty whispyr

#

Gland over Decanter generally or?

balmy condor
#

depends

#

would sim it

#

ideally neither

winter vapor
#

fair, turns out he couldn't trade anyway

gusty mirage
#

@balmy condor would it be better to start the tazavesh stuff or try to fill in stuff I've tried in raid?

balmy condor
#

raid first then taz

gusty mirage
#

aye aye captain

quasi grotto
#

im cloaking the soaks with cloak. why meeeeeeeeeeee

gusty mirage
#

unless its toward the end you don't want to cloak the bombs anyway

#

need them to charge the pylons

quasi grotto
#

thats very true

#

extra 2 seconds uptime on hc tho XD

gusty mirage
#

tru

cerulean nest
#

anyone getting bugs with picking up/throwing nerzhul orbs, or has that been fixed?

#

(i'm not the one doing them, just curious)

balmy condor
#

idk what bug that is

quasi grotto
#

as a rogue you shouldnt be doing them

cerulean nest
#

like I said, i'm not lol

quasi grotto
#

well unless theres no other classes for them

#

oh okay didnt read that

#

just gopt this open on 2nd monitor

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

might be just server problems tbh from the sounds of it

#

I haven't seen it in my raid

cerulean nest
#

for sure

gusty mirage
#

I haven't seen it either but I've heard plenty of people complain about it

arctic walrus
#

@balmy condor unleash the news

gusty mirage
#

@arctic walrus kekg

quasi grotto
#

what news

#

asa is dead

#

?

balmy condor
#

mfd is goated

rocky pecan
#

demn

quasi grotto
#

is MFD actaully becoming an option

balmy condor
#

well

#

it's becoming

#

the option

limber lion
#

it's always been an option

arctic walrus
#

the better option*

cerulean nest
#

elaborate?

shy dust
#

it does more damage with 0 resets

quasi grotto
#

everything is an option give or take right

halcyon zealot
cerulean nest
#

so what, you'd just use it prepull and on CD?

#

with BS?

balmy condor
#

you don't prepull

limber lion
balmy condor
#

and then hold for 15 sec to sync with flag

cerulean nest
#

ah

#

so literally just treat it as a flag booster

rocky pecan
#

depend on fight

#

you ucan usue tho on add since he reset etc etc

#

so

#

depend

ebon notch
#

does it reset on nerzhul orbs?

balmy condor
#

no

#

this might be more apparent

#

basically if you're playing ep/vig atm

#

you wouldn't

#

and would go mfd

cerulean nest
#

any logs of people using it?

#

just wanna see

balmy condor
#

I mean kinda

#

but these sims are literally 15 minutes old

#

so

#

I doubt anyone is playing with the new conditions

#

that I just posted

arctic walrus
#

i will say this is basically what I was doing last week

#

the only fight I didn't get fucked on though was eye

balmy condor
#

did you sync with flag

#

or just on cd

cerulean nest
#

where does it fit into opener?

#

instead of second mut?

arctic walrus
#

I guess yes?

ebon notch
#

on my sim mfd is better by 1 dps

#

lmao

slow marsh
#

what hte hell is this sludgefist mfd stuff now

#

why

#

WHY GOD WHY

limber lion
#

it's lit

#

Ngl MfD is pretty fun in 1-3 targets

#

but on something like kt

#

skip

slow marsh
#

good luck necro bois

balmy condor
#

it's not good for necro

slow marsh
#

so it's literally just for the +5 flag stacks

balmy condor
#

this is specific for venthyr

ebon notch
#

nvm i resimmed and its a 22 dps loss

#

🤷‍♂️

balmy condor
#

very cool

ebon notch
#

i simmed nightly

#

am i missing smth

balmy condor
#

?

#

it's not in nightly

#

that's just my sim

ebon notch
#

ahh igy

slow marsh
#

he literally just did it 15 mins ago lolol

#

no apl update

ebon notch
#

ye mb was confused

#

will be fun to try out

#

so you always line it up with flag unless you get resets?

balmy condor
#

hold for max of 15 seconds to get it into flag

ebon notch
#

so 2nd one we slam at 60 seconds?

#

pog

slow marsh
#

would mfd snd not be a gain with this?

#

and now with mfd obed is > dashing by a hair

arctic walrus
#

the whole point is that mfd is no longer wasted on prepull for snd

slow marsh
#

isn't it kind of the same thing though just -1 cp

arctic walrus
#

with cttc being re established

#

0 energy guaranteed 5 cp is not the same as 50 energy minimum 2 max 4 cp

slow marsh
#

i mean with 49% crit it's always a 4cp snd on pull

#

for me

arctic walrus
#

i mean for all i care you can garrote in your opener from stealth for a 1 cp snd and it would work

slow marsh
#

i generally get 27-28 stacks when i'm flagging correctly and not in a tizzy with mechanics so i'm just wondering how it could be optimized more

#

not opposed to it by any means, already play it in outlaw but it's way better for them

rocky pecan
#

That change its cool some change tho

ebon notch
#

i wonder how much value it would gain on sylvanas mythic

#

resetting on the arrows and shit

slow marsh
#

yeah with resets it's pog for sure

#

no doubt

ebon notch
#

and the adds in intemrission

#

im curious how shit the energy regen will be tho

slow marsh
#

i mean ep / ds already sims higher for me currently

#

so

#

looks like i'll be a mfd sin gamer though judging by this right?

arctic walrus
#

it's not the greatest and you'll definitely notice on a no lust pull i'll tell you that much

slow marsh
#

wait it didn't sim vigor rip

ebon notch
#

yeah im really scared how the opener will look like with no lust

rocky pecan
#

it's only -12 for me personnally

slow marsh
#

it shows as a loss for me with whisp's apl unless i did it wrong which i probably did?

balmy condor
#

aight well 2 things

#

1

#

that's not a loss

#

2

#

that's not mfd

ebon notch
#

that could affect the results lmao

balmy condor
#

if you don't change anything, it's neutral, wild

ebon notch
#

what was it that changed in the apl to make mfd gain value?

balmy condor
ebon notch
#

thats it?

#

pog

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

no prepull, hold for flag

#

that's it

slow marsh
#

how did i mess it up i literally just copy pasted lol

balmy condor
#

you used an APL that changed mfd usage

#

without taking mfd

#

that means

#

you changed nothing

#

I could give you a whole set of APL changes for sepsis

#

but you aren't fae

#

so

#

won't change anything in your sim

slow marsh
#

oops

#

well

#

i'm good i promise

gusty mirage
ebon notch
#

@balmy condor the stat weights wouldnt change at all right?

#

haste wouldnt gain value or smth

balmy condor
#

haste would probably gain some value

tacit otter
#

@balmy condor do you think those results change anything about m+? or vigor still the go-to?

balmy condor
#

it's about 0.3% in dslice

#

super minor

ebon notch
#

did a log using it

#

didnt feel that bad

#

honestly

tacit otter
#

so more of a feel thing i guess, thank you

ebon notch
#

i cant remember the last time i did remnant as ep/vig so i dont really have dps to compare it

balmy condor
#

what are you doing remnant with

ebon notch
#

i always do bs/ds

gusty mirage
ebon notch
#

:3

balmy condor
#

but like

#

why

gusty mirage
#

y tho

ebon notch
#

kinda like it idk

gusty mirage
#

fair nuff

ebon notch
#

why should i not be

balmy condor
#

cause it's worse

ebon notch
#

oh how come

#

i didnt know

balmy condor
#

it's not single target

ebon notch
#

i only ever dot up the balls though

#

i never hard swap to them

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

so it's not single target

ebon notch
#

igy

#

mb

cerulean nest
#

when do you use mfd in opener?

#

thats my only question lol

steel ridge
#

You dont play mfd

gusty mirage
full tide
#

mfd is one of the things I enjoyed from playing outlaw

#

fun to snipe in M+

gusty mirage
#

and then after that only hold if flag willbe up in less than 15s or some shit iirc

#

whispyr can confirm that last bit

full tide
#

I've tried playing all talents on that row in M+ as Sin

#

just feels bad not to play Vigor for openers

gusty mirage
#

it's about the same as vigor in dslice

#

this is just for ST

full tide
#

oh right

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

would be shiv vanish mut env mfd env

slow marsh
gusty mirage
#

also when testing the apl changes make sure you test it with MfD

#

@slow marsh 😛

slow marsh
#

a;ldskfnaksjdhnvidapfvnadiofvhbpadfkvbn

gusty mirage
#

ily ❤️

steel ridge
#

Wtf

gusty mirage
#

blame vel

#

this is his fault

balmy condor
#

well

steel ridge
#

Lemme guess, some updated sim says mfd is 0.2% better and now all hell breake loose

balmy condor
#

you can blame

#

a lot of people

gusty mirage
#

last bit will definitely be true

#

as for the exact % I think its a bit more than that

steel ridge
#

Just like when KS suddenly outsimmed BR and everyone got killed?

balmy condor
#

people play ep/vig atm

#

and it's like

#

0.6% better than that

willow eagle
#

Nobody uses ks tho

balmy condor
#

0.8% at the top

willow eagle
#

Mfd for sin sounds really sweet tho

slow marsh
#

i play ks

#

get good noobs

steel ridge
#

sure

full tide
#

Man

#

I'm excited

steel ridge
#

Sometimes, the difference between trolling or meta is just an apl update tinfoil_pepe

balmy condor
#

to be fair, it's only for venthyr

full tide
#

Obedience is fun, we'll not have to choose to hold or split with vendetta

balmy condor
#

and only because we play ep/vig right now

zinc frost
#

I go to bed and wake up to mfd being viable, you guys are mad I love it.

cerulean nest
balmy condor
#

bs/ds is still better single target

steel ridge
#

so is Outlaw kekw

full tide
#

I don't like how bs/ds feels

steel ridge
#

Keeeeeekw

limber lion
#

Good thing you don't have to play it then

full tide
#

xD

balmy condor
steel ridge
#

I so play both

full tide
#

I don't but I'm just wondering if MFD will feel slow compared to Vigor

willow eagle
#

Would you use blindside for sylv? Assuming p3 damage matters the most

limber lion
#

Blindside doesn't work there...

oak sky
#

we arent playing nightstalker though right?

limber lion
#

It doesn't benefit from the execute of Blindside

#

lol

limber lion
zinc frost
oak sky
limber lion
ebon notch
zinc frost
#

Nah it looked like you were under duress lmao

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

we were dps stopping anyway

#

so I sent it

steel ridge
#

good boi

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

I raged at my raid lead after raid and got benched for it

#

so was I really?

ebon notch
#

wait what

#

why did your age

steel ridge
oak sky
#

do you guys have more wipes on pain than kirbyau on sylv?

ebon notch
#

nobody does

balmy condor
#

cause I went 40 pulls without dying once while we just hard stuck p2'd on a fight that doesn't drop anything of value, and is the worst fight they've released in like 3 expansions

#

4 hours of just watching my raid run into spikes

limber lion
#

Painsmith is the best boss in the entire raid.

balmy condor
#

0 forward progress

#

no it's fucking not I'll ban you

steel ridge
#

Good times

oak sky
#

kt is so much worse

#

its not even funny

willow eagle
#

Painsmith is bis

balmy condor
#

I did 2 nights of slg prog as a trial

willow eagle
#

Also drops bis weapon

balmy condor
#

I would do 4 pulls of slg than 1 pull of painsmith

limber lion
#

It legitimately is the best fight. Just because your team is braindead doesn't make it a bad fight

balmy condor
#

painsmith is the most dogshit fight

#

they have ever released

#

since I started playing

limber lion
#

It's legit a really fun fight

quasi ledge
#

Sylvanas takes that spot

cerulean nest
#

lmao

limber lion
#

And has a lot of personal responsibility

balmy condor
#

I will die on this fucking hill

#

you can't convince me

limber lion
#

Like you said, you can go an entire raid night without dying once

grim tangle
#

paintsmith is bad in bad guilds, just the same people dying in intermission all the time

limber lion
#

Just because there's a venthyr boomie inting your team

balmy condor
#

painsmith is worse than slg

limber lion
#

It's not a bad fight

#

hell no

balmy condor
#

it is

#

100%

ebon notch
#

painsmith has the potential to be fun, but the personal responsibility ruins it

balmy condor
#

I would rather be progging slg

ebon notch
#

nah slg was giga dogshit turbo ass

balmy condor
#

than painsmith

limber lion
#

Pre-nerf SLG was the worst shit in the world.

balmy condor
#

give me slg back

#

I want it

#

I WANT SLG

ebon notch
#

it was just a buggy broken mess i hate that boss

balmy condor
#

replace painsmith with slg

#

I would be happy

oak sky
#

ban me for this

#

mad cuz guild bad

limber lion
#

Painsmith > Sylvanas

steel ridge
#

Remnants of a broken man

oak sky
#

sylvanas seems ok to me

#

but im not progging yet

ebon notch
#

i only dislike sylv cause o fhow long it is

oak sky
#

so i cant judge it too well

limber lion
#

I love Painsmith because it's literally a showcase of who's dogshit at the game and who's not.

#

There's always 1-3 people who die on every other pull

#

Then there's 1-2 dudes who never die

oak sky
#

totally

#

agree

limber lion
#

A dogshit fight is where your entire team dies to reasons outside of your own

oak sky
#

now don't check my logs kekw

quasi ledge
#

Sylvanas can suck a dick, only a good fight after 8 minutes of boredem

willow eagle
#

It's also a technically tight fight

limber lion
#

Sylvanas p3 is the best thing in the instance

#

Too bad it's 5 minutes of pleasure, 8 minutes of pain.

gusty mirage
#

p1 and p2 are miserable on heroic, I'm not looking forward to it on mythic

ebon notch
#

on heroic theyre piss easy

#

just hit boss

#

dont get hit by things

balmy condor
#

ego check you me all you want, personal responsibility fights are the fucking worst cause it just means I'm sitting there waiting for the brain dents in whatever guild I'm in to not int themselves into oblivion

limber lion
#

Painsmith is super chill as well because it's 100% scripted

full tide
#

how many beers deep are you whispyr?

limber lion
#

Nothing is random in the fight.

#

Every single ability and timer is scripted

balmy condor
#

it's the most brain degenerate gameplay

#

I have ever witnessed

ebon notch
limber lion
#

Like a fight that changes every single pull

#

like Artificer

#

those are awful fights

#

A fight that is 100% the same every single pull

#

Are lit

arctic walrus
#

amen to that brother

limber lion
#

If people are still dying to spikes 100 pulls later, they should get their wrists slapped.

balmy condor
limber lion
#

Sad that a bad group of team mates ruins the fight for you :(

balmy condor
#

"dps stop here or else the timings are fucked"

limber lion
#

wtf

oak sky
#

holds on painer kekw

balmy condor
#

cev

#

I'm telling you

#

I was screaming at my raid lead

limber lion
#

I mean, I get it

ebon notch
limber lion
#

But I just hate my team instead of the boss personally

#

But I guess you just hate both

oak sky
#

poor whispyr

balmy condor
#

I spend 9 hours wiping to heroic sylv pugs cause I can't make our heroic clears in guild time wise. Hopium for a dagger so I can improve my char for big deeps. Pug heroic sylv for 3 hours again the next day before raid, show up to raid. "hey dps stop, your dps doesn't matter". LIT. Watch the same 6 people run into spikes for 4 hours straight. LIT. Look at loot table, some dogshit ring, dogshit trinket, and a veinripper that I would have to either trade away, or play an awful spec

#

On top of that

#

I hate the fight

#

I hate backpedeling balls

limber lion
#

I think the thing for me is that the deaths on Painsmith cause a singular wipe

balmy condor
#

I'm fucking malding out of my mind

gusty mirage
# limber lion wtf

yep. NA guilds want to cheese an extra 2-3% before phasing to intermission

ebon notch
#

i think whispyr finna quit soon

limber lion
#

But failing a mechanic on something like SLG caused your entire team to wipe

willow eagle
#

Can feel you on the hc sylv pug

#

Succeeded to kill sylv on the 19th pug this week

limber lion
#

Like I can live with my venthyr boomie laying dead on the ground

upbeat needle
#

major fucking mood

limber lion
#

Can't live when someone pulls a 360 noscope on SLG and pulls the Wicked Blade through the raid

#

But anyways, assa gamers

#

get ready for the mfd hype

upbeat needle
balmy condor
#

and then complain that there's nothing to heal

ebon notch
#

bruh people triggering the commandos at the wrong time

#

cause they wanted to pad

balmy condor
#

and then the idea is floated

ebon notch
#

so good

balmy condor
#

to 3 heal

limber lion
balmy condor
limber lion
#

is that like a common thing

balmy condor
#

I'm like yo

willow eagle
balmy condor
#

healers getting spiked

#

why don't we 5 heal

limber lion
balmy condor
#

so they can focus more

#

on not dying every pull

willow eagle
#

So with resets

balmy condor
#

"oh but the p3 damage"

willow eagle
#

It's a ball

balmy condor
#

anyways

#

pin time

limber lion
arctic walrus
#

@balmy condor just guild hop bro

limber lion
balmy condor
#

lit

limber lion
#

there

full tide
#

I like my guild a lot but holy fuck the healers fall apart if they don't have 1 extra healer than is actually needed T_T

arctic walrus
#

-vel

oak sky
#

why so many words

limber lion
oak sky
#

why not just

#

mfd

limber lion
#

I honestly need to think about adding MfD to my scroll wheel

#

I feel like that would be a dank bind for it

oak sky
#

ive had it bound to shift on a mouse button

#

hopefully that works

limber lion
#

I also use a shift modifier but I'm not the biggest fan of shift modifiers on abilities that have resetting functionality

oak sky
#

hm

limber lion
#

Trying to snipe stuff with Shift+3 is not the smoothest

oak sky
#

yeah

#

i think mouse is pretty easy tho

#

even if 3 can be rough

ebon notch
#

mine is on ctrl 5 KEKW

oak sky
#

so is new opener same but with mfd after vanish ends

ebon notch
#

and when i was on outlaw i had another mfd macro with dispatch attached to it

willow eagle
#

Cursed macro

brazen zodiac
#

@balmy condor

zinc frost
#

If you good bois didn’t neglect your pvp you’d have a bind for mfd ready to roll

brazen zodiac
#

hi ruptureered

brazen zodiac
#

i did what u said and did 9.8k

#

!

zinc frost
brazen zodiac
#

most i ever did on SD :D

balmy condor
#

MFD Optimization
This is only applicable to venthyr. Other covenants would still play ep/vig.

There are 2 changes:

  1. Do not prepull mfd into slice (Opener after the normal stealth stuff would be shiv->vanish->mut->envenom like normal, then mfd->envenom for the last second of ma)
  2. Hold mfd for up to 15 seconds for flag

The gains are around 0.8% for dashing, and almost 1.5% for obedience. This makes obedience preferred again depending on kill time.
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fPYE61nH8RtBh1VENSxJCu

brazen zodiac
#

oh boy did i miss sometihg?

#

also what does mfd mean again? whispyrreally

oak sky
#

wait i have to make obedience now Cring

brazen zodiac
#

ahh okie

#

so this not applicable to me haha. that talent too funny for me to use >.<

#

was about to logon and smash that /simc >.<

balmy condor
#

time to learn

#

but also

#

it's not in simc yet

brazen zodiac
#

ah

halcyon zealot
#

crafting the 3rd 262 leggo for ST this tier let’s fucking gooooooo

If only those remnant orbs could benefit from mfd..

brazen zodiac
#

ive never used mark for death before. no idea how it works lmfao

ebon notch
#

i already have obed but its crit vers

#

my haste might get to dangerous levels pepesweat

#

@balmy condor what kill times would be preferable for obed?

full tide
red plaza
#

Nothing wrong with crit vers obi 🙂

balmy condor
#

delete them

#

that 50 haste

#

is REQUIRED

ebon notch
#

see

balmy condor
#

cannot play without it

ebon notch
#

its a breakpoint

#

taht i will not lose

oak sky
#

time for torgy tinfoil_pepe

cerulean nest
#

frost set without dashing sounds sad

versed mica
#

Wait what

#

Since when have we opened with shiv? peepostudy

cerulean nest
#

he means after the other stuff

zinc frost
#

^

balmy condor
#

you know

#

out of all the things I thought people might get confused about

#

that was not one of them tbh

versed mica
#

Okay I'm even more confused now lmfao

ebon notch
#

you shiv just before you vanish

buoyant mauve
#

I thought it for a second, I must admit...

versed mica
#

Right

ebon notch
cerulean nest
#

@balmy condor if switching to Obe is theoretically better with mfd now, does that mean that frost set loses some of its value? since no dashing

buoyant mauve
#

but then I thought, that would be such a waste of combo points for flag so that's obviously not right

hollow escarp
#

that's what I thought at first, then I checked the raidbots report LULW

balmy condor
#

BRUH

#

there's no way I'm the clown here

hollow escarp
#

well, idk

cerulean nest
#

so we going back to unholy then? (please for the love of christ no)

hollow escarp
#

it says "opener will be..." pepLaff

balmy condor
#

there

#

is that better

hollow escarp
hollow escarp
#

I doubt anybody will actually open like that

balmy condor

top kek
