I played like 15 pulls on painsmith as outlaw cause we were dps stopping and my dps didn’t matter
How did it feel?
Pretty trash
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
But acro strikes makes balls pretty comfy
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
sharp stones + phantom fire in raids or oil + phantom fire?
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

anti outlaw propaganda
It was all flurry on balls tho
Is the necro ability still bugged?
How many runs?
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
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?
Does a lot of damage
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?
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
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).
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
blind leading the blind

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
Nah I’m not mad at you
Ahh, okay
🤣
Not knowing, and asking questions
Knowing, and asking questions
Knowing, and not asking questions
Not knowing, and not asking questions
All fine
keep holding shiv for that sweet phial cd tho
Pretend to know and impart “wisdom”
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge
Or something like that
Idk who said it
:/
bruce lee said that i think
Maybe, seems too philosophical for Bruce lee though
People just pick up things here and there and just interpret to something completely wrong
And that’s the lesson we all learned
Then go “oh but whispyr said that” even tho it was not even close 
Its all a preference after all 
We’ve had a couple instances of “cev said” recently
I’m glad he’s feeling the frustration too

Just lots of voodoo-feelycraft
people that have like 40% crit how much haste do u have?
I have 47% crit and 17% haste
ty
np
working on the frost swap
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
Trinkets and external things like blood/frost are their own thing
how about if I press the bind really hard?
@balmy condor
They removed a lot of stuff from interacting with spec mechanics around legion
ahh
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

You guys think it's better to run Obedi or Zold for M+ as Sin? (I'm venthyr, obviously.)
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.
Theo for m plus
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?
seems weird
Usually higher level frost will skew more and more towards dashing
What we working with iLvL/crit/covenant wise
239 ilvl (no sylv daggers just 246/242 daggers from m+) my crit isss 33% and im venth
link it
Lil low on the crit front but I would assume dashing better
Unless it’s like
Rank 1 frost
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
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
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
Rank 1 to rank 5 is 1000 dps

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
9-10k is good for overall, you can pump higher but it’s just dependent on how big your group pulls
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
The actual number on dslice doesn’t really matter that much
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/b9RL7S9JcYifQBpXp1XjZU disappointing thought frost/dashing would be bigger
doom's just really good for necro cuz of sbs
ya im not to worried about it got to rank up the shards first anyways tel/kyr only r2 atm
yeah? what's it supposed to represent tho? just curious 
nothing
i see i see
dslice shows a mix of single target, cleave, and aoe
it doesn't reflect any dungeon in particular
nor should it
yeah i figured that much
there's too much variation for the number to mean anything
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?
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
ah
because we optimized for it
i see i see
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
how do u use fusion trinket after ur opener, do u save for vendetta or just send it on cd
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
on cd
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
Hi, basic things to play assa in m +?
but it usually is a little sketch
!guide
These cover the basics unless you wanted to know something specific
ty
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
ty <3
This
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.
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.
i'm sure this is old hat, but i haven't been raiding a ton lately and finally finished upgrading my winds set: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/wgjh71bKD8pZAqRn#fight=36&type=damage-done&source=3&ability=355733
winds doing 60k average hit is sexuaaaaaaal
now if i could just get my ilvl up
you would do something like 80-90k winds 😛
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
I actually did a 110k hit last night, on roh kalo
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
cev hit like 200k last week
I’m 0/10 on this damn dagger on heroic and normal
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
Yh but that was on trash with weapon I think
My peak was 120k on fate
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
It’s worth if using doomblade or zoldyck
wait, doomblade benefits from the bleed dot?
I thought it was only garrote, rupture, and SBS
You maintain it as a dot outside of shiv windows
Only thing that changes that is if you’re playing dashing
^
dashing scoundrel seems kind of sus
okay, ty
Why?
just testing leggos on different raid encounters and obviously lots of things can change but dps just seems low and slow compared to others
Dashing benefits off high crit and frost set which is why it sims the highest for most
Not true lol
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
Are you venth or necro? Necro doesn’t benefit as much from dashing but shouldn’t be that much of a decrease in dps.
venthyr
like I said, Im just gonna swap it in and out bc there's no easy diagnosis here
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?
blindside
Oh
sims higher for me than planning
yeah most people dont play blindside even tho it sims higher
But not that much ppl like
ep might end up better next tier, but its hard to predict
fok spread rupture if shits gonna live long enough
if not just evenom main target
CT if speccedinto it
Yes
can sin hit like 10k dps overall generally in dungeons or am i learning outlaw for keys 
Hit 10.5k in a 20 mists yesterday, so yep! Can definitely pump
: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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/q1JZ9k4Re2zjoD7h5aiY7R im using all this rn minus the cloak and legendary but ill have em next week.
Stats are 45 crit, 13 haste and 30 mastery
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
current sim
hm maybe obedience is bait
or maybe I just suck and I ain't pressing my buttons right
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.
do you think my gears bad
Not at all, I’d aim for some more mastery and a bit less haste though
weird it was telling me i needed more haste and haste was simmimg better
i think i have like 400ish mastery 29%
Yeah sometimes it asks for more haste in d/slice but mastery is really good in keys
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
im guessing regardless it'd be better to use the dom pieces over regular gear for the dps shards
also yeah good point
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.
do you run Theo and if so do you use WPS over Katarina?
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
katar*
Yeah I run Theo, I don’t use katar too much.
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*
Yeah I do
eveonom*
It’s good for prio damage once bleeds are up
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
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
hmm okie dokie
press shiv after your garrotes before ct
noted!
ideally on your vendetta target but just press it on something if it's on cd
even if im not gonna be using even?
it will still get used
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
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
i set mine to glow real menacingly-like (more like annoy tf out of me until i press)
yeah the cc thing is why i stick with outlaw in keys right now tbh
press flag at full cp just like normal
so like garrote x4 shiv flag ct vendetta
ahh ok ill try it
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'
yeah that's my mistake, especially with iqd
ye just slam that shit on cd
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?
during garrote pandemic
!sims
Simulations:
Herodamage: https://www.herodamage.com/rogue/
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
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
Simmed it?
no i think you can run either setup depending on what you're going for but ye i'd just sim it
yeah i did and it said titanic iqd but I always find Sims weird with iqd so just wanted opinions
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
Timing CDs is king, knowing how much time you got for vendetta/flag to pop off.
@brazen zodiac good luck pumping them keys 
Finally get 233 sylv dagger to replace 220 one and it’s a 7 dps loss 😂😂😂
246 sylv is likee +30 dps over my 246 offhand.
sad )
for sub it will rox thou
and i still dont havee 246 sylv )
Why’s it so much better for sub?
i think its 2 things, conduit of 16% iincreased shadow damage in sub. and second sub doing more finishers than sin
Can I make it somehow that a blindside proc activates my stealth action bar, like sepsis does. I‘m using the default UI.
What is sepsis
The NF special
Nf rogue?!😱
Sure 😎
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
the speed they tick or how hard they tick?
It’s flat damage I’m sure?
also I don't use zoldycks
since ive already built 3 cloaks for raid lol, not farming torghast again for a minute
Yeah mastery is increased damage for bleeds/poisons. So how hard they tick over
How many cinders do you get for re runs of torg 12
do cov assaults give renown
yes
Guys due to great vault, if im already curved but i dont kill sylvannas this week, is there still a chance that sylvannas drop will come in my great vault?
im trying to get edge of night zz
Yes
I always thought vault was from bosses you killed not the entire loot table
where?
The former
so on cd?
The gcd when it comes of cd you hit it
word
No matter how much energy or cp u have
A slam shiv emote would be a good addition
Yes
Its the loot table of bosses you have ever killed
Theotar tea priority @~240? Agil or secondary?
it gives u a rng one
Huh that's what you told me no? Trash before KT?
shadowmeld is Alliance no ?
i though no more ppl play this side im surprise
so truueeeee
skin>skill
every expac is same
welll you uhave some problem as me with mog we cant make a thing good apparently XD
❤️
I don’t think mog looks good tho on female night elf
It’s too big for ladies
But lets discuss in #transmog
Nope

Tattoo shiv on your back so you slam shiv every time you go to bed @cerulean nest
now this is peak chad gamer advice
Tattoo shiv on your chest so you can shiv slam someone’s mother every night 
You think you’re playing sin and sleeping with someone’s mom?
3 APM gives you plenty of time to do other things while playing
Yea but the drool down your chin is a turn off
but true

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/dBYNsXXekvV3YDBEiQtr8b Can someone tell me why I have a dom socket item simmed?
Like, what is it indicating?
I already have that item equipped
Yeah
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other).

it's showing the chest cause I think your current chest doesn't have an enchant?
yep
thats why its showing the chest
np 
@alpine garden nope, the last 2 bosses need to be downed every week I thought?
they do not
So if I just down the 1st 3 on heroic every week, I'll get a chance at heroic sylv loot?
if youve killed her once yes
You get 3 chances every week if you kill all of em
Understand. The Q was if you downed her last a month ago, is her loot still im the vault chance in the current week? I was under the assumption u had to get her every week for a vault chance.
Nope you don’t have to
Don't nope someone if you don't know yourself 🤣

Seems to be abandonded though. There is no info after Eye.
yes it removes them completely
fair, turns out he couldn't trade anyway
yeah but its best to save in case you need to soak
@balmy condor would it be better to start the tazavesh stuff or try to fill in stuff I've tried in raid?
raid first then taz
im cloaking the soaks with cloak. why meeeeeeeeeeee
unless its toward the end you don't want to cloak the bombs anyway
need them to charge the pylons

anyone getting bugs with picking up/throwing nerzhul orbs, or has that been fixed?
(i'm not the one doing them, just curious)
idk what bug that is
as a rogue you shouldnt be doing them
like I said, i'm not lol
well unless theres no other classes for them
oh okay didnt read that
just gopt this open on 2nd monitor
that entire fight is borked tbh
might be just server problems tbh from the sounds of it
I haven't seen it in my raid
for sure
I haven't seen it either but I've heard plenty of people complain about it
@arctic walrus 
mfd is goated
demn
is MFD actaully becoming an option
it's always been an option
the better option*
elaborate?
it does more damage with 0 resets
everything is an option give or take right

you don't prepull
Sure, if your pull timer is 30s
and then hold for 15 sec to sync with flag
does it reset on nerzhul orbs?
no
this might be more apparent
basically if you're playing ep/vig atm
you wouldn't
and would go mfd
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
i will say this is basically what I was doing last week
the only fight I didn't get fucked on though was eye
good luck necro bois
it's not good for necro
so it's literally just for the +5 flag stacks
this is specific for venthyr
ahh igy
ye mb was confused
will be fun to try out
so you always line it up with flag unless you get resets?
hold for max of 15 seconds to get it into flag
the whole point is that mfd is no longer wasted on prepull for snd
isn't it kind of the same thing though just -1 cp
with cttc being re established
0 energy guaranteed 5 cp is not the same as 50 energy minimum 2 max 4 cp
i mean for all i care you can garrote in your opener from stealth for a 1 cp snd and it would work
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
That change its cool some change tho
i wonder how much value it would gain on sylvanas mythic
resetting on the arrows and shit
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?
it's not the greatest and you'll definitely notice on a no lust pull i'll tell you that much
wait it didn't sim vigor rip
yeah im really scared how the opener will look like with no lust
it's only -12 for me personnally
it shows as a loss for me with whisp's apl unless i did it wrong which i probably did?
that could affect the results lmao
what was it that changed in the apl to make mfd gain value?
i used your apl nerd
how did i mess it up i literally just copy pasted lol
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

@balmy condor the stat weights wouldnt change at all right?
haste wouldnt gain value or smth
haste would probably gain some value
@balmy condor do you think those results change anything about m+? or vigor still the go-to?
so more of a feel thing i guess, thank you
i cant remember the last time i did remnant as ep/vig so i dont really have dps to compare it

what are you doing remnant with
i always do bs/ds

:3
y tho
kinda like it idk
fair nuff
why should i not be
cause it's worse
it's not single target
You dont play mfd
hold for flag
and then after that only hold if flag willbe up in less than 15s or some shit iirc
whispyr can confirm that last bit
I've tried playing all talents on that row in M+ as Sin
just feels bad not to play Vigor for openers
oh right

during shiv
would be shiv vanish mut env mfd env
you do now as of like an hour ago
a;ldskfnaksjdhnvidapfvnadiofvhbpadfkvbn
ily ❤️
Wtf
well
Lemme guess, some updated sim says mfd is 0.2% better and now all hell breake loose
last bit will definitely be true
as for the exact % I think its a bit more than that
Just like when KS suddenly outsimmed BR and everyone got killed?
Nobody uses ks tho
0.8% at the top
Mfd for sin sounds really sweet tho
sure
Sometimes, the difference between trolling or meta is just an apl update 
to be fair, it's only for venthyr
Obedience is fun, we'll not have to choose to hold or split with vendetta
and only because we play ep/vig right now
I go to bed and wake up to mfd being viable, you guys are mad I love it.
ty ty
bs/ds is still better single target
so is Outlaw 
I don't like how bs/ds feels
Keeeeeekw
Good thing you don't have to play it then
xD
yeah but no one willingly plays that dogshit spec
I so play both
I don't but I'm just wondering if MFD will feel slow compared to Vigor
Would you use blindside for sylv? Assuming p3 damage matters the most
Blindside doesn't work there...
we arent playing nightstalker though right?
No
I saw someone streaming outlaw on painsmith prog recently.. 
still ep, and this is only in multi target?
Yes, no.
did that look willing
was it a bet
Nah it looked like you were under duress lmao

chat said I should play outlaw cause I have a heroic veinripper and heroic sylv dagger
we were dps stopping anyway
so I sent it
good boi
I mean
I raged at my raid lead after raid and got benched for it
so was I really?

do you guys have more wipes on pain than kirbyau on sylv?
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
Painsmith is the best boss in the entire raid.
Good times
Painsmith is bis
I did 2 nights of slg prog as a trial
Also drops bis weapon
I would do 4 pulls of slg than 1 pull of painsmith
It legitimately is the best fight. Just because your team is braindead doesn't make it a bad fight
painsmith is the most dogshit fight
they have ever released
since I started playing
It's legit a really fun fight
Sylvanas takes that spot
lmao
And has a lot of personal responsibility
Like you said, you can go an entire raid night without dying once
paintsmith is bad in bad guilds, just the same people dying in intermission all the time
Just because there's a venthyr boomie inting your team
painsmith is worse than slg
painsmith has the potential to be fun, but the personal responsibility ruins it
I would rather be progging slg
nah slg was giga dogshit turbo ass
than painsmith
Pre-nerf SLG was the worst shit in the world.
it was just a buggy broken mess i hate that boss
Painsmith > Sylvanas
Remnants of a broken man
i only dislike sylv cause o fhow long it is
so i cant judge it too well
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
A dogshit fight is where your entire team dies to reasons outside of your own
now don't check my logs 
Sylvanas can suck a dick, only a good fight after 8 minutes of boredem
It's also a technically tight fight
Sylvanas p3 is the best thing in the instance
Too bad it's 5 minutes of pleasure, 8 minutes of pain.
p1 and p2 are miserable on heroic, I'm not looking forward to it on mythic
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
Painsmith is super chill as well because it's 100% scripted
how many beers deep are you whispyr?
your guild mates inting is the randomness
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
If people are still dying to spikes 100 pulls later, they should get their wrists slapped.
tell that to my guild "oh shit the balls came from the other side, that's just rng I guess we can't control that"
Sad that a bad group of team mates ruins the fight for you :(
"dps stop here or else the timings are fucked"
wtf
holds on painer 
did you clip it
But I just hate my team instead of the boss personally
But I guess you just hate both

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
I think the thing for me is that the deaths on Painsmith cause a singular wipe
I'm fucking malding out of my mind
yep. NA guilds want to cheese an extra 2-3% before phasing to intermission
i think whispyr finna quit soon
But failing a mechanic on something like SLG caused your entire team to wipe
Like I can live with my venthyr boomie laying dead on the ground
progging M Painsmith rn
major fucking mood
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
wym
can't live when the healers run into spikes
and then complain that there's nothing to heal
and then the idea is floated
so good
to 3 heal
Our holy paladins were the worst as well

is that like a common thing
I'm like yo
That talent sims slightly above with 0 resets right?
Quite a bit higher
So with resets
"oh but the p3 damage"
It's a ball

@balmy condor just guild hop bro
i gotchu
lit
there
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
-vel
why so many words
jk you can do it pretty boy
I honestly need to think about adding MfD to my scroll wheel
I feel like that would be a dank bind for it
I also use a shift modifier but I'm not the biggest fan of shift modifiers on abilities that have resetting functionality
hm
Trying to snipe stuff with Shift+3 is not the smoothest
mine is on ctrl 5 
so is new opener same but with mfd after vanish ends
and when i was on outlaw i had another mfd macro with dispatch attached to it
Cursed macro
@balmy condor
If you good bois didn’t neglect your pvp you’d have a bind for mfd ready to roll
play vigor 

most i ever did on SD :D
MFD Optimization
This is only applicable to venthyr. Other covenants would still play ep/vig.
There are 2 changes:
- 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)
- 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.

wait i have to make obedience now 
marked for death
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 >.<
ah
crafting the 3rd 262 leggo for ST this tier let’s fucking gooooooo
If only those remnant orbs could benefit from mfd..
ive never used mark for death before. no idea how it works lmfao
i already have obed but its crit vers
my haste might get to dangerous levels 
@balmy condor what kill times would be preferable for obed?
this game sucks 🙂
same bro, I crafted 262 obe to play Sub sometimes
Nothing wrong with crit vers obi 🙂
see
cannot play without it
time for torgy 
frost set without dashing sounds sad
he means after the other stuff
^
you know
out of all the things I thought people might get confused about
that was not one of them tbh
Okay I'm even more confused now lmfao
you shiv just before you vanish
I thought it for a second, I must admit...
Right
@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
but then I thought, that would be such a waste of combo points for flag so that's obviously not right
yeh
that's what I thought at first, then I checked the raidbots report 
well, idk
so we going back to unholy then? (please for the love of christ no)
it says "opener will be..." 


fucking
I doubt anybody will actually open like that
top kek
but it's just confusing at first sight
@balmy condor which kill times is obed more suited for tho?
sorry to bastardize your work chief
