So use an exploit and still do less than frost
Is it less than frost tho?
Actually did the opener correctly for the first time in a Sylvanas pug last night. I'd like to thank this Discord for pointing that out in a previous log review and I'd also like to kick my own ass for missing out on so much damage.

Hey guys new rogue here was just wondering for painsmith, do you guys bother with balls or do you just funnel off of them for more boss dam
Also how can I keep my raid group from dying to the same set of tank spikes every pull ?
Cum
Ok I'll try to do that
Funnel off balls
For sure
Get consistently 70k+ hits outside of cds
Cause the balls are ticking
I theorycrafted running CT for painsmith but whispyr said it wasn't worth
i ran it this past week and its good, it gets way more winds procs since youre critting on so many balls and funneling boss
but there is already so much happening on the fight that it gets stressful adding CT
I also tried Poison Katar and Hidden Blades. Hahaha I mean FoK was up there for DMG done. It was viable. But not a good option.
We have him on farm so just trying different stuff. ;p
oh i know
Nothing wrong with Katar
big negative
dont hate the player hate the bis conduit
I don't play the game and I've never been happier
cev help me do my worlds pickems
I don't care for esports in any form whatsoever either, sorry
Last time I watched LCS was Season 1, so 10 years ago
You know we didn't have 329485723 different types of competitions back then
Just one
Idk why there's a million different championships or whatever nowadays
its because they removed 3rd party competitions
riot owns all the 1st leagues now
and each region has their own
LCS is for NA, LEC for EU, LCK for Korea and LPL for China
they have 2 splits, MSI and worlds
Yeh probs
Don't think they had 20 different qualifiers before worlds s2 though
But yeah, anyways, back to #assassination
Boomer
Pretty sure we called worlds "lcs" as well in s2
xd
Cev do you still do log review also I'm damwon fan since day 1
you have to pay him in vodka for log review
if he doesnt black out half way through then you didnt pay him enough
imagine taking a shot for every mistake you see in a log, oh boy i could find some really spicy logs for that 
I mean I do on the occasion for newbies/beginners because it's easy to spot mistakes
But not for veteran players
Going through logs of someone who knows what they're doing is a pain
cev i only started playing 10 mins ago can you look at my log pls
!guide
Why is the method guide missing The Eye?
Same am new rogue pls help
cev has abandoned us
no more light at the end of the tunnel

We always have Whispyr, he would never leave us 
yes but have you seen whispyr play
his brain his huge
his hands are not
jk ❤️ whisp
xoxo
I did write a portion for the Eye of the Jailer, but apparently it was lost when converting the guide from a word document to a proper, fletched out guide on their website.
Quite a few things are out of date as well already, like MfD and KT and there's some really poor wording/sentences here and there
interesting
It was written as a 31 page word document and changed around to fit the website
And manually adding all the links, pictures, embeds etc.
I wasn't responsible of the conversion and publishing, so some things might have gone missing but I'll let the Method guide management know if I get around to it some day.
Well I don't like method anymore that you're not in it @limber lion
legit only time i tuned into scos stream
was cause of him
Lmao too true
Guess I'm just a limit fan boy again even though they don't have any RH rogue homies
Is he now ?
I heard rumors and saw he was trial or something
Well pog then
I don't pay much attention after rwf tbh so I don't see the moves u til after
just washing because of covid
binding crimson vial to every button
although getting big frost set shields is kinda important too
yeh I'll have rank 5 frost gems in a week or two
is time for me to go into the sand pit?
?
?
are you tripping out or smth
wait for the 20% leech+leeching poison tel kyr and blood seet
hacha stealing all my strats
i still feel salty about blizz nerfing the power of money
cn was so comfy with 4 boes
now all the leech gear gets stolen by heals
just crit more kekw
average winds crit 62k nbd 
just crit 
nvm there was a chinese dps that got 12.1
nice PIs bro
thank you ❤️
Ive been venthyr this entire patch, but now i see this BROKEN shit for night fae
having that with the opener and with frost set??
That’s a very small part of a fight to commit to going NF for, doesn’t sound worth when you consider the benefits of venth nad %dmg increase which is the entirety of the fight
And the flagellation bonuses
ah okay phew
Plus with high crit and master assassin on the opener anyway do you need it?
Nah not rly, just sounded so cool in theory haha
Cuz i just found out i need to switch from my fully upgraded unholy gem set piece to frost this evening 
Joined phase 3 of sylvanas mythic 8.7k without padding . My god those set crits .
Never gonna get those numbers again
and it wasnt a kill obv
rip log
can you link log?
do you guys not stop dps?
Ye in p1 I have the time to use 2nd CDs
On boss
My grp pads a lot I guess I don't know
And I can attack boss haha
Shouldn’t you always get 2nd CDs?
yh second cds is nothing new
but the fact that they dont have enough dps
to stop dps
I don't know .
is crazy
We don't stop tbh
I almost have enough time to squeeze a 3rd flag 
Dmg is tight maybe on boss that's why
I use 3rd flag on arrows
Cause on phase 2 I use CDs on boss only
We don’t have enough dps to stop either
But we haven’t optimized chain damage yet
We’ve stopped once or twice
In 45ish pulls
Seen intermission like 5 times
With most dying to intermission
also that PI on the burn with double cds
Ye I get 1 pi
But that 8.7 on 3rd phase could easily be rank 1
8.7 at start of 3rd
yeah your comp is nuts for you
you dont have enough ST dps
so you get to pump permantly
if you have too much st you can phase her on third veil and skip last set of arrows
yeah but if you dont have enough then you'll be stuck in a deadzone
i mean yeah you gotta commit to it
we didnt do it on prog but do it on reclears, makes it so much more enjoyable
just get more boomkins 
We have 1 boomkin that is nf
And also healer main I think
We had two Venthyr boomies that were pretty good but they both quit
such is the way of the venthyr boomie
why stealth mutilate is used instead of ambush?
Hunter is an option too
!mut
Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.
That’s why^
i remember playing my twink rogue

i got into some 2s last night for the first time
i cant wait for the assa legendary that gives us random procs of vendetta
if only
@ebon notch whats that leggo? never heard of that
Vision of Perfection as a lego
its not real
it was a dream
celerevendettay
The nightmare of fae lego being usable
how are healing logs going
Need 2 weeks to max frost gems
you cant get before?
wait wdym
you have blood set right
you can easily get healing logs with blood set and theotar
@balmy condor https://i.imgur.com/sAkEk5W.png
rank 1 the nine today

i know whisp will be up all night theory crafting
when he gets rank 5 frost set
he will shit on me
getting like 5k hps or smth crazy
I mean I think I can do 3.1-3.3 fairly consistently
with rank 5
with a bit of leech gear juice I think 3.5 is like
very doable
my guardian rank 1 is 3.1
i need tarragrue rank 1 and soulrender
and then i have all 100s
damage parses are so dishonest anyway for real on god
I just want to help my raid out
healing logs
is where the children of god go
a pious man
I got like 2 months of sylvanas ahead of me I need something to keep me entertained


Fewer expectations, fewer disappointments. 😎
oh
i was 2 day raiding :<
I'm just preparing for stream viewership to go up due to lit trackmania content between pulls

Do more korthia for OMEGA stonks 
Once in a blue moon, Flagellation hits the boss and stays at 1 stack, can't stack it up at all. I assumed it got parried or something weird, but the initial application hit for damage and I got damage from the first tick or w/e. Anyone else experienced this? Maybe it was just a parry or something weird
I hit 60k research 
MORE
Gotcha, thanks for the confirmation will be more careful 🙂

I play Zoldyck’s but I’m a filthy Necrolord 
Xd
you played outlaw before don't pretend you had any
and sub 
@echo geyser log review pls cev retired

imagine me doing log reviews 
my monk in for main raid
just do 1-3 bosses alt raid only last 2 weeks we managed to do 6
My guild doesn't do alt runs

New guild that is
They so their 1-2 day clear and that's it
its not all raiders, theres other guilds alts, friends of friends etc
I'm getting warrior rank 4 unholy set next week
most are regulars
My guild does alt runs and I cba playing alts
Maybe if they'd let me tank
But nobody would ever want me as their tank
Do you guys think there will be embers catch up mechanic?


all we can do is 
If not I need to start grinding my alt like rn
Yeah in 9.2 when the set bonuses are disabled unless in sanctum 
u guys do 2 fullclears or almost?
maybe next time i level up guild i wanna go for 2x full clear to deck out 2 chars at once 
That's the goal by the end of the patch
Yeah idk they’d have to make a progression change based on the shards. That kind of regression would feel too horrible.
2 full clears
No way they just disable them off the rip
They’d just have to make the next sets more powerful
Hopefully way
Nah
Just disable and add nothing
Maybe tier sets but not this crap
Yeah that’s what I mean
The tier sets would have to trump shard bonuses, this much is obv
Yeah tier sets without needing to grind shards would be nice
But I highly doubt they just turn off shard bonuses for next raid
No way, really gonna need sets from SOD for next raid?

it feels so dumb that i could make a new char, get funneled gear, get 245 ilvl in 2nd week AND STILL DO 2k LESS DPS THAN OTHER PEOPLE
That seems extremely stupid
Like stupider than Blizzard normally is
I just don’t see a regression in power happening at the start of a new tier
i think theyll just be as they are rn cause ilvl will make new gear better
Would feel so bad
This is legit me on my warrior, I’m 242 ilvl and will get smoked by anyone with a set bonus
literally the only reason i just dont want an alt
having to go through a month of doing low dps
Would feel so bad if you needed dom shit for new tier if you don't raid
for NO REASON
And decide to raid next tier
I don't think Blizz is actually that dumb
At least not without an ember catch-up
next tier is still very very far away lmao
How do you attract new players if they have to grind out content seldom being run just to do current content?
Catch up systems
I don't see it, man. That'd be super fucking dumb.
doesn't seem that dumb to me tbh
Imagine having to do CN to do SOD, or to do Uldir to do Nyalotha
You wouldn’t have to do it
Normal of a new tier is always doable with like -3k the dps of mythic last tier
maybe we get artifact weaps again in next expansion
Ez

But if you’re gonna jump straight to heroic and mythic when they come out, I can see you needing it. Unless gear effects from Normal trump these sets.
I’ve heard a lot of people saying for instance that Sylv dagger will probably still be BiS going into next tier
Kinda like that. It’s not a necessity, but it’s still totally valid.
Imagine they make a more powerful effect dagger next tier 
Time to grind all over again bby
Yeah a ton of ppl
got only one, straight from mythic ez
Artifact weapon = good expansion 
link
My rng on gear has been fucking toxic
bro that dagger
holy
🥜
252 dagger from vault the week after
4 upgrades left
i could've actually gotten the sylv chest this week
but went for the 252 finger from m+
since they were similar upgrade but one is unobtainable xd
what
I hope tier sets are good nex tier man
think about it, we didn't have an artifact in wod, bad expac, we had one in legion, good expac, bfa. we didn't have one in shadowlands, bad expac
clear trend

obviously
Exsanguinate 
Aoe pls 
i still cant believe they gave sub an aoe finisher but assa has to talent into one
That makes bleeds increase our haste instead of just giving energy regen
Artifacts come back in 9.1.5, shadowlands saved?

We're gonna be so unethical
And then sub was busted for 1 fight in 1 tier of bfa right
so think of sub m+ now but more
Then got gutted
yeh
And now its back
i member sub in bfa pre shuriken combo nerf
I really hope tuning and borrowed power are kind to all 3 specs
There isnt really a weak dps rn
Hopefully they can kepe that streak
Keep
I would gladly accept an AOE nerf for a ST buff as windwalker
🤔
ww and frost you mean?
Aff lock
St buff for ww is called going kyrian
Next patch ww gets decent st
I was kyrian at the beginning of the tier, it's not significant enough to make you not embarrassing
thing about wl is they have 3 specs
even going kyrian on ww doesnt make it decent ST
so u cant rly change 1 like that
Why not
chances are if aff is shit st
one of the other 2 specs does st
if all do st why even have multiple specs if they dont got a nieche
what did they nerf for sub in terms of shuriken funnel
Because different play styles
Demo st 
shuriken combo
what was that
each target by shuriken storm 5% evis dmg capped at 40% i believe
yeh
feint memory bout that in bfa
wtf
Why was that in the game
that's dumb af

because sub didn't have an aoe finisher
Oh
sub did literall 0 aoe
What about in talents?
oh
and OMEGA ST prio
so is black powder new?
Current sub seems ok for tuning/ usability purposes
in bfa at least
give us baseline aoe 😡
idk if it was added in later season or not
#CTbaseline
mmmm i went to make my 6 am microwaved instant noodles and now you guys are talking about sub
whats the emote with the angry doomblade
#CTenergyregen
No



Maybe we get
Idk
impossible, burned to a crisp

Ct is a really cool finisher for the spec to have
no, i just have to wake up in less than 2 hours for university so im making food
Ew
making is a strong word for what im doing
no sleep special
Dot spec getting aoe dot is cool af
feral was cool in bfa
My god
Maybe that as a talent ct baseline
Yes

kingsbane that makes all our dots mega dps instead of ct talent
already designed this like a year ago
?

Aoe exsang 🤔
Tbh i think that would be plenty good enougj
No aoe exsang would make aoe so good
Sin aoe is already pretty cool but then you add exsang and you have a hectic race to get all your fots back up
yea true
Dots
character just turns around and clicks fingers anime style
AoE
with uncapped CT etc 
and then everything bleeds out
zoldycks
But we could use something interesting for st thougj
Maybe like a real spec mechanic or something
Next expac maybe
Smoge
pooling is not something to play around as a core spec mechanic lmao
No not like pooling even
Like we don't have a crazy proc or anything interesting like that
Def don't want sin to feel like feral---feral rn feels like ass in keys
Outlaw gets rtb and opportunity
We get bleeds, more bleeds, and shiv
Sub gets stealth outside stealth
hey i like bleeds
Yeah bleeds are cool
But something special related to bleeds or something like that would make single target more interesting
Interesting stuff
Yeah I don’t even have time to read the whole thing atm as I’m about to pass out
Maybe tmrw
I read the main focuses up until the pic of talent rows
60apm would be sick
For me last tier, I started playing wow as outlaw
Coming to sin was actually quite the learning curve for me lol
Was the learning curve “how do I press less buttons” 
yeah I'm well known for just not overdoing everything

nah it's all anon
pog
you are a committed individual
If were q bleed spec make everything do a dot
Actually everything
Autos-poison, mutilate-doomblade dot-rupyure gar ct dot
Ambush dot
Then envenom does damage based on how many, but only during shiv
Lmao
Me, a crazy idea idiot
P. sure all that would make sin even worse in anything non-ST
??????????????
what did you say whisp
ur fried agreon

hi fried, im washed
blizz can't handle the zoomers rushing to tweet their angry tweets
it won't ever happen
no
I love this and am sad it is not official 
This Is awesome
Interesting, I’ll have to read more when I actually get to a computer
I read like 70% of it, and yeah I believe most of them are actually good changes. The fact that most talent rows would have CHOICES amazed me. Instead of the usual "use this one, ignore the other 2".
Also the poison build OR bleed build, very interesting.
@balmy condor Im sold
how many shards yall usually using for m+ ?
i prefer 8 myself
dont wanna miss out on any damage increases
Its the same if I’m not mistaken
At least that’s how I did it
Mut SnD Mut Garrote Rupture Vendetta ER Mut Shiv Vanish Env Mut Env
@shadowblades how much mastery do i need for assassination?
All though I’m not sure if its a again to move ER till after MA window, because technically Mut Env Mut is better in Master Assasin window
disregard stats, trust raidbots
wait... am i trolling playing mfd and doing vanish mut env mfd env?
simming aint real
shiv->vanish->mut->envenom like normal, then mfd->envenom for the last second of ma
He is kyr
so you're correct kurandero
If you dont play MFD its a small gain to do what I’m saying
But it’s different since they are kyrian
kk
Mizu
stop it
i was panicking. Im practicing my sin since ill probably play it on sylvanas and i think that's the only thing i understood xD
playing venthyr tho
@oxi#9722 no pings pls
Sorry friend 
well idk how to do it on the normal opener

Lmfaoo I posted it
That’s the “normal” one but I’m not sure on the other technicality
ohh Mut snd
You can prob sim it but I’m not smart enough to
I be Mut gar rupt then mut snd
mut snd mut so u get 2 muts on MA
and then shiv ven vanish
okok
ty
Also I was told these talents were ass but the sim says they are actually an increase https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/8trVKLhCjrL8mNVCAkdZA1

They said blindside was hrorible
Run a quick sim and check the APL
yea Ik I shoulda done that true
@humble ginkgo has decaf corrupted u into playin kyr sin? 
Who’s “they”?
BS/DS is the best set up for straight ST
Yea the weird part is Subt
Try since 9.0.5 expac
But hey
Ur right vigor/bs was dark times
I was getting MFD PB for dslice the other day
It’s only 3dps but yea it’s still weird
i guess for ktz bs+mfd should be a good aproximation, isnt it?
Had to be some sort of interaction with the kyrian soulbind making subterfuge sim within margin
Ermm
Only thing I can think of
Margin of error dps 👀
Kyrian has higher crit maybe?
Yea it does
Yea that’s what we’re saying
cant
guys have u tried getting 100% crit for mega damage
No just outlaw without frost set next tier looking 
last tier
Well with current gear we’re at 40%+ crit and Kleia gives a bunch of crit iirc
yea
So it’d devalue MA enough
I see
finally gonna become a multispec freakazoid
Where subterfuge being within margin of MA makes sense
Because nightstalker is kinda meh all around to begin with

Sin is easy to play I fink
its alright
sin on the nine is fun af
ngl

It’s def not hard tbh
Sin on cleave fights is hella fun
Slower pace and if you don’t fuck up hardcore you’ll still perform well
Do you go CT on soulrender?
Min maxing on the eye is fun too
Ye and KT
if u wanna pad i guess u do
CT feels so bad
but like
its range is so much bigger than I thought
I kept waiting for adds to group
when I can just press it
and it will hit like 4
It’s range is even bigger when you’re moving
yea

Makes zero sense but whatever I’m not complaining
or doesnt matter
Not with dashing
Not with dashing
okok
Indeed, denathrius with necro sin was so much fun
CT on ST was a doom blade thing
just gimmie 259 dag already
like never every apply it on ST?
Never
wasn't it something like "only if out of shiv window"?
It’s a loss cause of the dashing interaction with envy on
im not updated at all fml
Envenom**
we now call envenom envy
envenom = more poisons = more crit = more frosty
If you’re necro and still play doom you’d still CT outside of shiv
Cuz of the fatty doom dam
no no im venthyr now
Ye then you can drop CT completely in ST
Based Necrolord gamers

How does the frost proc pick it's target? Does it just randomly hit anything you're in combat with?
like we dont need more aoe, everything dies in 2-3 secs
Last thing you crit iirc
It’s targeted iirc
Hmm
But I’ve had it attack things I have targeted
So idk
Blizzard and their well explained systems 
Yea I had it hit a DR'd orb on nerzhul last week that I swear I only mouseover ruptured
And I realized I didn't actually know how it worked
Yeah I’ve had it do both. And I’ve had it pull stuff in korthia/torghast that I wasn’t even in combat with

I’m gonna say it’s well coded and implemented 🙂
Its the last target you crit
So if your bleeds crits right before into immune orb
Enjoy
rly?
Yes
fuck CT on ktz then
imagine frost set oneshoting one glacial spike before the others so the debuff extends
ooof
Lol
That’s not gonna happen really
that's something i was wondering yesterday
Guess I could just test it on dummies for a bit
Only with blindside
yea
Otherwise you run EP/MFD
I am going that build
Bs/ds is usually only good together for pure patchwerk
For a long time I simmed best with Bs/vigor though as night fae
I wouldn’t play it outside of guardian tbh
He is kyr

Kyr doesnt play MFD
Why not
Bc you dont get the same value out if the CPs
Oh true
oh is it bc you want many mfd resets oduring flag
That’s a venthyr optimization
Its not even resets
I c
You’d play EP/Vigor outside of guardian then
This fucking group I joined
has like
55 rogues
LOL
I fucking hate this build btw2
nvm
I hate subterfuge
caught me off guard since I didnt have my stealth barready
LMFAOO
Gotem
Also idk about subt
Even if it was a gain I prob wouldn’t play it in ST
And certainly not if its within margin if error
Play it on nine 
U just need a mainhand
other than that I have crazy crit
Anyone has this info? :3
Higher than mine but I got shit hear

Based crit

Sim it 😛
Holding me back
I mean I Can't sim ktz fight. My point is if I dont need ep for AOE cause we have more than enough I can go BS, but Mfd is pretty good in ktz so...
How to sim with kyrian druid?
Barely in time for p3 sylvanas progression lmao
Probably not even worth it on sylvanas
Are you sure? she only gets to 45% so it might not be better than a 252
Sim to make sure
how do you sim sylvanas?
There’s an additional line you can put in

Heard toxic onslaught the play actually
Tiny toxic blade
Not that tiny afterall
Blindside/Vigor 
Starting paintsmith tonight, anybody have any rogue POVs/tips
Everything you see on the platform wants to kill you
That includes your team mates
Don't die
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
Don't die is the pretty big one and follow the strat is the next best advice
you can jump the ball if you jump high eenough
Depending on how hard you wanna learn the fight I’m pretty sure both oxi and whispyr have some recent POVs
play outlaw, hitboxes on the balls are a joke
i only dot them and move away let range do their shit
also do we play crimson tempest or poison bomb on that fight
poison bomb
Start sylv prog tonight, any little tips and pointers ?
can you tell me where to add this specifically? When I add the line it says invalid input.

Might be advanced sim
If you you dont have frost shards to max rank then doomblade still Bis right?
This is a sim question 
Incorrect. It’s worth simming them all - Doomblade no longer default best
KK was gonna make a leggo for assa have my obe at 262 but was trying to figure out if I should make something else for assa I only play it for like 2 bosses.
Obe is good
Just stop please.
though
