shell carbon

didn't know a thing till yesterday of Sin frost crit build

shell carbon
oak sky
#

nah i was just curious

because for raid we dont play a leggo on legs 🙂

#

looks good to me

shell carbon
#

getting research to get a Scoundrel leggo recipe and look for domination gear an sockets

oak sky

shell carbon
oak sky
#

im happy we can do both covenants next patch

#

both are fun

#

we get 2 toys

limber lion
#

Imagine having all 4 covenant abilities simultaneously

shell carbon
#

Not joking, I mean it well

#

Imaging being able to use Nadjia with Thrill and necroskill

oak sky
#

yo but

#

no 🧢

#

the weapons this tier were really cool

#

underrated thing about sanctum

dawn ivy
#

id have wanted the nine spear to be a bit bigger

shell carbon
#

EON, Bow, Kt both wpns

oak sky
#

i meant like them having effects and stuff in general

dawn ivy
#

yeah id be happy if we get another dagger next tier that just has a generic effect

oak sky
#

visually theyre mostly ok i guess

shell carbon
#

oh yeah, the fist too

inland hull
oak sky
#

although I also think they shouldn't just come back and do it next tier

#

its only special if its rare

shell carbon
#

i heard/read theories of us getting domination weapons next major patch KomodoHype

subtle tundra
#

yea we get artifact weapons broooo

shell carbon
prisma cypress
#

pretty sure they'll ditch the domination stuff in 9.2

#

get some new kind of borrowed power

lavish lichen
#

Hopefully a real set bonus

shell carbon
#

yeah, pretty sure of it too

oak sky
#

its for sure a real set bonus

#

confirmed

tight halo
#

im at ilvl 240, crit 38%, Haste 22%, mastery 24% vers 4%, is there something i should rework?

lavish lichen
#

Yea rogue is ruined think you need to delete and remake

charred wraith
#

yeah work around getting higher ilvl (while simming upgrades)

harsh lantern
#

100% crit and go next

tight halo
balmy condor
#

ilvl is the only real thing to care about tbh

tight halo
#

got my frost dom bonus atleast

harsh lantern

Bleedy poison pals, how did you make out with your vaults?

hollow river
oak sky
#

h sylv ring for me @stray mural

stray mural
oak sky
#

yep

#

only 1 upgrade left from heroic

#

still plenty from mythic though

visual prairie
#

only heroic item I don't have or have passed on is sylv dagger.

#

fun game

oak sky
#

thing i dont have is the chest

#

and ive passed on it in vault before

static glacier
#

anyone have any zoldyck logs of the current raid

#

?

balmy condor
#

I don't think people would admit to having those

brazen zodiac
#

LOL

stray mural
#

I need KT shoulders, sylv chest, and dagger. It’s the only reason why I keep doing heroic skip runs.

brazen zodiac
#

i need new content

static glacier
#

ay dude, some nonsense is occuring on fatescribe where a lack of venthyr boomies has got rl considering options

balmy condor
#

it's getting worse

charred wraith
#

i ve just checked, i think there are litteraly 0 logs playing zoldyck both in hc and myth

balmy condor
#

oh is that something you can check

balmy condor
#

how do you look up by lego

static glacier
#

13.6k

balmy condor
#

I did 14.3k on our kill with obed on sub

#

:/

charred wraith
#

guess i was wrong checking that way

#

oh, these are wrists, im low iq

balmy condor
#

what is that

#

some new feature?

oak sky
#

whispyr how the guide going

charred wraith
#

the magnifying glass on the right, at the bottom

static glacier
#

after digging into logs some more zoldycks is off the table Macky

charred wraith
#

actually, its a bit fucky, but you can sort every zoldyck log by umbrahide leggings id

#

and bc you craft on legs only DS and Zold, its easy enough for it

#

ah nah it filters every page separately, so you ll have to manually scroll through everything to the end, idk what am i doing

strange python
#

M rem dagger/H sylv dagger or should i still farm H sylv every week for the H dagger? and double them up

fierce wind
#

@balmy condor or anyone that knows, can you do the deathly shadows vanish buff for sin like you can with sub?

balmy condor
#

no

spice spire
#

It does not

balmy condor
#

it's sub only

fierce wind
#

Oh so it’s a bug

#

Got it

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

used to work for all 3

#

but then they "fixed" it

#

problem is

#

it's a different spell id for sub

#

than the other two

#

so it got fixed for sin/outlaw

#

and the sub spell id didn't get touched

#

cause they forgot I guess

arctic hare
#

Yay!!!

#

Got a new LEGO!

oak sky
#

oh?

arctic hare
#

Dashing lol

#

Finally gathered enough soul ash to make it

oak sky
#

#

And soon I'll be able to make it into my second 262 lego

#

got painsmith down in 130 pulls, onto guardian tonight

#

oak sky
#

prayge good luck bro

arctic hare
#

Now to figure out how in the heck I'm going to track the crit buff

#

Hmm, somehow mine doesn't

#

True

#

who's do you recommend I import?

gusty mirage
arctic hare
#

ooooh, thats gonna be a YOINK

#

now its time to modify it a bit

arctic hare
#

What

#

the heck

#

Winds of winter at rank 4 straight up just beat all of the anima powers I had, including erratic Howler

balmy condor
#

yes

#

it does that

normal mist
#

In 2 weeks of raiding I managed to ditch pretty much all my 239 pvp gear filled with versa, and now have 235 ilevel but with 38% CRIT, 23% haste, R3 frost set and all shard pieces, including a 236 vial that my friends and I went to get just now from a M16 (made my boomy go feral loot, he got it for me). Life is good. My HC logs still suck tho :(

lavish lichen
#

Yea ofc gear matters

#

But there is no substitute for reps with your spec and learning the fights

dense hamlet
#

how much dps do u lose for missing 1 cast of flag?roughly

#

with obediance

balmy condor
#

in a m+, not much, on a 3 minute tarragrue, probably a lot more

dense hamlet
#

ye wondering abt st

lean fossil
#

question for you boys

#

raid team is doing the md strat on nerzhul

#

why does shadowstep not work everytime?

#

when im getting md?

oak sky
#

if you have a mass dispel weakaura that would help

#

also

lean fossil
#

i got it

oak sky
#

you can stand pretty close to the inside person

lean fossil
#

its like it doesnt register the button hit

oak sky
#

make sure you press shadowstep before you get knocked off the platform

#

if your model is off the platform it doesnt work iirc

lean fossil
#

been trying

viscid spear
#

Had to pug Heroic, guild was a no-go

lean fossil
#

ahhh so being right on the edge is a no go lol

oak sky
#

yeah you ideally want to be a little closer to the middle

lean fossil
#

thanks man

Troll

strange python
#

Okay lolol

spice spire
#

very troll

blazing finch
#

if you are pulling a chain on soulrender and you cloak while holding the chain does it break the chain?

violet jackal
#

I don't think so

spice spire
#

it does not

hey um

balmy condor

gusty mirage
#

what's wrong? 😦

hollow river
#

you ain't lookin' for a guild are you

gusty mirage
#

ruh roh

balmy condor
hollow river
#

we have no ww

#

no holy pally

violet jackal
#

hate to break it your missing a balance druid too

hollow river
#

yeah

#

we are missing that too, sorta

#

even with boomie added i can't find a single sylv kill w/o monk/holy pal

violet jackal
#

just be the first, make history

hollow river
#

lol

#

don't see it happening

#

they're talking about switching a 250 sub rogue for his heroic geared ww

#

or a 250 resto druid for heroic geared h pal

#

we're barely meeting the check in p1, so they're assuming we won't meet the check in p3

we had 8 melee in the fight and the only drop was for the tank in dps spec :)

eyy gz

#

still waiting on mine 😦

balmy condor
#

@ebon notch I have a new strat

hollow river
#

Have you been running mfd on sylv whisp?

balmy condor
#

I don't play sin

hollow river
#

Oh

#

Dats right

balmy condor
#

I only play sin to degenerate heal logs

oak sky
#

its good notrickz

#

i swear

balmy condor
#

yeah

hollow river
#

Bro

balmy condor
#

mfd seems banger

hollow river
#

I’ve been running it

#

Fk u mean

oak sky
#

its super banger

hollow river
#

Haven’t pulled the boss once with vigor

#

In p1 I basically only press it for pull, and flag (obv) and I just hold it for adds

oak sky
#

im hoping i can hit close to 8k dps before lust in p3

#

that would be hype

hollow river
#

I don’t necessarily follow the 15 second hold rule

balmy condor
#

any NA horde have turnip that I could borrow for a couple minutes

hollow river
#

Because I get multiple resets per chains and per sentinels

oak sky
#

i think i do whispyr

#

yeah its worth

#

but if its like 20s to the next set i would send it on boss

#

let me check rq

#

@balmy condor i have the turnip

#

where u need it

balmy condor
#

in maw

hollow river
#

Korthia or the maw

oak sky
#

ok

balmy condor
#

hold on

#

I'm making sick strats

hollow river
#

Are you testing healing strat

balmy condor
#

I am

hollow river
#

Or damage

#

Oh

week 0598509385085038 still no dagger

#

🙂

real kettle
subtle tundra
#

3 upgrades left

oak sky
#

those hands

#

ill never see them

#

they dont exist

pure moth
#

Tell me about it. I'm also still rocking normal kt shoulders

quaint carbon
#

got the hand 2 times in 3 vaults, and 1 time on 1 boss loot (out of 3* 3 boss) pepehands

neat smelt
#

yo guys,is simming dslice for assa a good choice? never played it in m+ and wanna try it out

oak sky
#

pretty much yeah

ruby oyster
#

whats the benefit of 2nd sylvanas dagger? double finisher dmg? tooltip doesnt say anything but sims 26dps higher than normal 246 dagger

oak sky
#

I cant remember exactly but I think its double damage

#

might be double proc rate

#

not positive

#

its possible that a higher level main hand sims higher than double daggers though

ruby oyster
#

all my daggers are 246 unfortunately, i dont have any other choice in vault but i dont want to lose too much crit

neat smelt
#

what stats shoud i craft my zoldycks with if its only for m+

oak sky
#

I still went crit haste on mine but crit mastery could also be a good choice

#

either way is probably fine

neat smelt
#

got ya,i ll sim it and check,thanks for the feedback

oak sky
#

no matter which one you craft, you can probably get the stats on other gear

#

so don't sweat it too much

normal mist
#

Yesterday me and my guild managed to down painsmith and guardian HC (yes we started proging last week). Weird enough we wiped 3 times in painsmith and around 7 on guardian

#

I now call him sniper. Because the amount of times half my raid died to the beam...

oak sky
#

haha

#

good luck continuing your prog

normal mist
#

We also found a soaking strat for guardian using only 2 members. A fire mage and a frost mage, frost would ice block near the tanks, get hit by both soaks, then fire then frost again. Amazing way to do it really

oak sky
#

yeah, on mythic you do something very similar but 3 players have to immune in the soaks

subtle tundra
#

yea thats the mythic strat

#

^

oak sky
#

cloak works too 🙂

normal mist
balmy condor
#

the yellow circle is a group arcane soak

subtle tundra
#

that one is tank mechanic

oak sky
#

you just let the tank get hit by the brown one then walk in during the orange 2

#

but in heroic whatever you squad is doing should be great

gusty adder
#

How do you guys handle CD-timings on Painsmith? We're currently progging, but it feels a bit awkward with the balls spawning in vendetta and every shiv-window if used on CD

#

Tried waiting for after balls as well, but then I often get traps in shiv-windows etc

oak sky
#

i havent noticed that really

#

vendetta is usually ending when the balls spawn

#

at least on pull

#

then shiv kinda depends i think

gusty adder
#

Yee, I mean, it's only 3-5 seconds of vendetta afaik

#

so not the worst

#

Shiv is worse however, if I use it on vendetta on pull it comes up 1-2 sec before next balls spawn

oak sky
#

probably just send it then swap to ball and swap back

gusty adder
#

Ye, alright - that's basically what ive been doing - just felt a bit wasteful

oak sky
#

losing a cast is bad

#

at least you get some poison damage if its up

gusty adder
#

ye

#

Have been using shiv a few times on balls in p2 to get em down quicker as well - should I ever do that?

normal mist
oak sky
normal mist
#

Maybe just FoK to spread dots aka increase your frost set dmg? Atleast that's what I did

oak sky
#

Yep

#

On mythic its important to help out with actual ball damage as well though

green ledge
subtle tundra
#

enchant

green ledge
#

oh fuck you're right

#

ty

#

i am an idiot

strange python
#

6 weeks of hc clears and sylvanas kills finally paid off

dense hamlet
#

Yo that Fusion Amplifier lookin good tho

normal mist
#

Gratz!

gray lynx
#

Trinket and dagger in one vault sadge

dapper flint
#

12 weeks no dagger

normal mist
#

Raid vault no good but M15 had a haste Critical ring 252 with socket (the one from top i believe). I can finally upgrade my 200ilvl one!

tough canyon
#

can anyone just tell me how i can do non critical strikes out of stealth with MA used+ 51% crit with stats? o.O

#

thats 101% out of stealth+ 3 sec after and i still get normal hits with my mutilate

soft shale
#

nani show log

fallen arch
#

51% crit is kinda high too

#

But ye that shouldn’t happen

umbral summit
tough canyon
#

atm just wondered in torghast doing kinda funny stuff with with volatile flesh and it did a normal hit with 0.5 sec left on MA. I only got a short clip of it not a log. for logs i need to take look @ the last raid logs

#

thats the ms it just hit

#

and thats the normal hit

soft shale
#

i think it cant crit

tough canyon
#

sure i can

soft shale
#

same as kel trink and rack

tough canyon
#

*it

soft shale
#

then you're cursed

#

so weird

tough canyon
#

18 crits overall in that run

gusty mirage
#

Because MA affects our abilities

#

Not necro shield explosion, it was just unlucky rng

tough canyon
#

so the tooltip should be wrong

gusty mirage
#

The legendary or the talent?

tough canyon
#

talent

#

the leggo is dead since 9.1

#

with the legendary your right that was the nerf in 9.0.5 i think

gusty mirage
#

It’s probably whitelisted to just our abilities if I had to guess

fallen arch
#

^

gusty mirage
#

afaik the talent has always only worked with our abilities

hollow river
#

Yep

#

If that worked I’m pretty sure we’d all be using our damaging trinkets during the window.

fallen arch
#

Yeah and timing it around winds

sonic schooner
#

Flesh craft is not considered as a rogue ability but as a shammy ability since they can cast it while moving without being kick?

#

Would be poopoo

tough canyon
sonic schooner
#

In arena nah

ebon notch
sonic schooner
#

Because they re playing mari I can garanty

ebon notch
#

Tell me the strat when you're up

sonic schooner
#

They just do their buff that allow them to cast while moving and not being able to get kicked. The tooltip talk about sham abilities only and apparently flesh craft is one of them

tough canyon
#

well

hollow river
#

Nobody said blizzard was consistent

gusty mirage
#

Yeah blizzard’s tooltips are notoriously inconsistent

tough canyon
#

i feel like the tooltips are 💩

gusty mirage
#

You’d feel correctly

hollow river
#

Ye. Dogshit.

sonic schooner
#

I cant wait for the softcap tooltips

#

Kekw they won't change a thing

pure moth
#

Can someone look at this log. its the 18,2 strat of the eye. Can't break past this general number

tough canyon
#

as i said with MA: your critical strike chance is increased by 50% there is nothing about only your abilities

tough canyon
tough canyon
quasi ledge
#

Why Envenom the abductor? Just DoT it and pump boss

tough canyon
tough canyon
quasi ledge
#

Aaah :p

#

Fair enough :)

tough canyon
#

pump boss->pump eyes> only dots on non primary targets

#

with shadowstep you land frot left of the boss

pure moth
#

i am using shadowstep, ive also cloaked a lazer too

tough canyon
#

do you pool energy before using shiv?

pure moth
#

theres just a bit of down time going left to right... waiting for timer to tick away for debuff we get. i feel like everyone just runs right in while i sit back and wait

#

yes i pool

quasi ledge
#

It depends when you go over, if it's right after a stack is applied it takes longer to drop them (but also if the eye takes a while to die you can't really control that). But you can go hit the other eye, just make sure you and the tank are max melee from each other

pure moth
#

so basically i should start going over earlier than its called to switch so that my debuff drops first so i can start attacking right away

#

imo

quasi ledge
#

My much shorter kill had more garrotr/rupture casts than yours, so the best thing to do is focus on multi dotting the adds and making sure you keep 100% uptime on the boss

#

Maybe not. We always go over right as white swirls spawn so we dodge them as we take the chain. If you go early you might spawn a swirl where people land

tough canyon
quasi ledge
#

But even if the stacks refresh, as long as you don't collide with the tank/healer you're fine. You can be max melee behind the eye and be ok

#

Yeah it kinda sucks for logs, but I do alright and don't particularly care for them. Just the way we started doing it and cba for people trying to do the other way, have no trust :p

pure moth
#

Maybe i can just start on the otherside and wont have to worry about switching lol

spice spire
#

Yeah but then you’re taking hella damage

#

I kinda gabagool’d into mythic eye last night. I think a large part of it is the 18-2 strat, the group I’m with still did the swap strat, which kind of sucked.

pure moth
#

Yeah but the other rogue was ridiculously higher. Soo it still should work fine

spice spire
#

Identical-ish kill times, played like garbage, r4 frost, and couldn’t vendetta the lust phase since the boomy convoked the eye I had to match. Still about 800 up, with 200 more energy gain, I wasted about 300 less energy,

#

When you do swap are you using movement abilities to get their ASAP (obviously after buff falls off)

spice spire
#

Bruh I just kinda wung it no strat no shot

#

Wasted almost 50 CP mostly through seal fate and sbs kekl

#

Wasn’t meant to be a shot, more of a, somethings up. Play on kriz’s end seems better

#

And with higher winds damage monkascheme

pure moth
#

Flex lol

#

Its gotta be a down time thing overall

#

I was above 10k on the nine and died at the end.. was mad cuz i was ahead

spice spire
#

Had half of the fragments on the nine. Way more fun on mythic though rooSuffer1

soft shale
#

you can pre cloak fragments if you are going to pop cds

#

what always cucks is the double shield

#

as you watch all cds become available

#

and then have to hold for like 20s

gusty mirage
#

That’s the real fun

#

You sit there with coolies up like “guess I’ll just go fuck myself”

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

This raid is actually miserable

drifting cloud
#

why are you popping cds in intermission? 😛

gusty mirage
#

On adds, we were struggling to kill them

#

Our ranged are actually smooth brained

spice spire
#

Oxi is just a certified blaster

#

24/7 all he knows is blasting

gusty mirage
#

Just like I blasted Scott in that email and got in trouble

spice spire
#

True

gusty mirage
spice spire
#

“Sorry AGC, I was just blasting”

#

It was agc iirc

gusty mirage
#

Ye

#

“My b I’m used to just blasting and telling people to git gud, I disclosed this in my application”

valid spoke
#

does sylv dagger effect stack

#

or do you just want 1

gusty mirage
#

The damage portion does

valid spoke
#

okay

gusty mirage
#

As sin you want just one, probably OH

valid spoke
#

so having a hc and a mythic at same time is fine it doesntoverride?

gusty mirage
#

It’ll stack the damage part on both

valid spoke
#

okay yt

#

ty

hollow river
drifting cloud
#

18-2 is worse, just not by any metric that matters

#

for rogue both are probably same shit

hollow river
#

If you can get on the side that takes the extra add every time, parse ez

drifting cloud
#

since you can just cloak application and run over whenever the fuck you want

hollow river
#

You can cloak the stacks?

drifting cloud
#

you can cloak the application, so it just falls off

hollow river
#

I always just cloak the beam so I can stick on boss/add

spice spire
hollow river
#

I hate the swap method

spice spire
#

Yeah not the biggest fan

hollow river
#

The side that gates always milks way longer and has 0 down time

#

And i was always put on the side that takes chain

#

So the side that takes chain has to sit and wait while they milk, and then stop dps to wait for them to get the other eye low enough

#

Kinda shit tbh

spice spire
#

Yeah, I was chain group too

#

Like I said had to vendetta to catch up to the convoke on both eyes

hollow river
#

I’ve never vendetta’d adds

#

I’ve definitely flag’d tho

tough canyon
spice spire
#

We’d leave the eye at 40ish, their eye at 55ish. So we had 15% more + movement + boomy convoked

spice spire
tough canyon
wary pawn
#

any1 sent to 2nd platform on p3 sylvanas to clean pools? got this task but i barely lived after jumping back

ebon notch
#

rogue is super bad at this

#

you need an external or smth

#

best class outside of a tank is probably a dh with netherwalk

wary pawn
#

ya im still the one to do it so ...

lavish lichen
#

If you end up using an external just make sure its not sac

#

the others the tank do

sending a rogue OMEGAKEKW

lavish lichen
#

I think the though process is “they have cloak” but its very backwards kekw

wary pawn
#

ye its basically, send the rogue he have cloak LMAO

lavish lichen
#

Yea like you literally

#

Cant use your defensive lol

hollow escarp
#

you don't need one of the best single target dps in that phase anyway

tough canyon
lavish lichen
#

Yea actually good idea

#

Cringe but basically the only way to not get fucking smoked

tough canyon
#

i rly like Elusiveness if you're sure you dont fail its the best choice in that row

I hardly ever get assigned a duty because most of my guild doesn't even know what a Rogue could do.

#

Imagine if I tried making that "activate Cheat Death" meme a reality in their eyes.

#

I don't mean I avoid all responsibility, I do make a note of what I can do, I just make sure I don't get hit with something like Saisel. peepostudy

I only offer to do stuff if I know I’m the best person for the job

#

I hardly ever get target for Crushing Gaze on The Nine or Frost Blast on KT, so I can't look cool taking it solo

normal mist
#

Funny when some classes wanna solo those type of abilities with cloak, ice block, etc and someone be like "oh nooo I have to help my friend soaaaak that".

#

You know what happens next silenceheathen

subtle tundra
#

unless its called for solo i stay in group

#

doesnt really matter on the nine since on that fight nothing does enough damage to be threatening, but on KT there are certain soaks that are harder than others

arctic hare
subtle tundra
#

that + people recovering from spike dmg + having 6 people stuck when there's adds to interrrupt can cause wipes

lime gust
#

anyone know if cloaking big purple circles on the nine removes the explosions entirely like cloak does on fatescribe? the cloak excel doesn't have details on this part

inland hull
#

I run it out and then cloak and shadowstep back in. The sound effect for the explosion still goes off, so I assume it still pops when you cloak it off.

#

Like a Sylvanas arrow situation

can I run through balls with cloak on Painsmith?

No

You can try! I believe!

The only way to be sure is to make sure you’re standing on top of the entire raid when you cloak

Good evening Sinner's gamers, looking for advice and tips how to min max CD's for P2 Sylvanas. Currently testing this and it feels ... not optimal. Moving Vendetta to 1st Sylv burn doesnt make it align properly for 2nd (should i just hold for p3?)

fallen ginkgo
#

edited Sir.

oak sky
#

I usually double cd on goliath, flag colossus, then vendetta burn 2

#

It kinda lines up better for p3 from what I know because using stuff on cd gets you more casts through the fight

red plaza
#

CD on first Goliath, nothing on first Sylv burn, nothing on Colossus, CDs with pot + cloak haunting wave 2nd burn.

It lines up p3 CDs better so you pretty much fire them on CD, and it’ll be ready for the lust @ 13:30 ish

#

Arachnid Cypher ring 246 is apparently better than 246 Ring from slyv

#

149 crit 99 haste vs 205 crit 43 vers

oak sky
#

Both of them together sim well for me

placid pagoda
#

Ye got 252 Bloodoath signet

#

107 crit 151 haste

#

didnt think assa would favor my haste at 20%

oak sky
#

I mean

#

It favors whatever is good for the gear you have

#

Next patch its probably right back to haste

placid pagoda
#

yeah crit heavy im at 45% but could be at 50 if i dropped some ilvl

grand ridge
#

Haste means more opportunity to crit

placid pagoda

You want both but mostly crit

Im finally at the point where I need haste > Crit at 48.5 crit.

Shit took forever

winter vapor
#

what tea#s are worth rerolling from theotar?

oak sky
#

Crit good

#

I think haste is ok

limber lion
#

Crit/Haste are both good, roll Vers/Mast

#

Buuuut doesn't really matter too too much, as long as you have something

winter vapor
#

so Agi is worth rereolling?

viscid spear
#

If you know way ahead of time when you're going to do content, you can reroll every hour until you get what you want and then log off until it's time

#

But I roll Nadja the QT3.14 so I just do whatevs

Wow

welcome to prog raiding

we did our first prog night last week. 40 pulls haven't gotten anywhere close to a full group past first intermission yet

#

i can't tell if i'm having fun or not.

If youre over it after 2 nights just wait until you get your month of sylvanas wipes lmao

I JUST got to heroic sylv, so

Completely unrelated though :p

#

Would have quit even if I was with the Stormwolves of Stormscale

balmy condor
#

@ebon notch consider the following

ebon notch
#

but

#

hmm

#

your frost set wont be as big

#

with no dashing

#

and its a huge amount of healing

balmy condor
#

I did the math

#

also you think we run frost set?

arctic walrus
ebon notch
#

blood set is better?

balmy condor
#

oh 100%

winter vapor
#

now just need to actually do it in raid o.o

winter vapor
#

No way! it might be different >:

oak sky
#

@balmy condor whats this with bloodfang

#

More healing shenanigans?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

for aoe it's definitely the move

#

my biggest problem atm is my overhealing

oak sky
#

My god dude

#

Ur gonna get the healing numbers higher than dps at this rate

balmy condor
#

with 0 overhealing

#

that's 4k hps

charred wraith
#

receive more dmg, fixed

oak sky
#

Tell healers to heal you less

balmy condor
#

yeh

ebon notch
#

@balmy condor did you think about

#

weapon enchants

#

😉

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I think ascended vigor > eternal grace

#

but eternal grace has less overhealing

#

idk how eternal grace procs though

oak sky
#

Is healing oil worth?

ebon notch
#

bruh thats why frost set is better

#

cause no overhealing

balmy condor
#

that's not how that works

ebon notch
#

nah if you get it

#

just go stand in shit

#

until it goes away

oak sky
#

Also

ebon notch
#

and rinse and repeat

balmy condor
#

yeh I guess

oak sky
#

Why havent there been ptr notes yet

#

I want to see #outlaw mald for the 6th week in a row or whatever

balmy condor
#

@ebon notch have you considered kindred spirits

ebon notch
#

no i havent

oak sky
#

I heard a rumor you have a friend that plays kyrian bear Sinscheme

balmy condor
#

another 200 hps

oak sky
#

Maybe

balmy condor
#

in the bag

oak sky
#

A very good friend

#

That would simp for you even

#

ez 200

balmy condor
#

@wild lantern yo fuck the damage parse I need kindred for the hps

oak sky
#

Lmao

#

Its happening

wild lantern
#

Am I nothing to you besides a simp bear

placid pagoda
#

Can someone explain why the MFD - vent is was meant to be BiS but virtually everyone in top logs runs vigor?

oak sky
#

They don't know or old logs

soft shale
#

recent addition

#

also if you get kindred

#

you may play subterfuge

#

hidden bladees

#

and still top

oak sky
#

Virtually everyone in here is playing ep mfd

balmy condor
#

fun fact, top logs does not make top build, top player, top anything

soft shale
#

yes bois that go to the gym play mfd

oak sky
#

At least people that care nough to optimize

placid pagoda
balmy condor
#

ambush from stealth was a thing in top logs

#

forever

soft shale
#

it would be funny if we had like a shadow with no name in private logs

oak sky
#

This is how shitters like me get rank 1s 👀

placid pagoda
balmy condor
#

because things take time

soft shale
#

so we could know how much cream are packing the top dogs

balmy condor
#

to pass through the community

#

mfd won't have a good showing until like 2 months into 9.1.5

#

cause it takes forever

placid pagoda
#

MFD best run with obe right? Then dashing

oak sky
#

Another factor is this discord is probably mostly NA and EU and a lot of the simp parses are cn or kr

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

they have their own discords I think but they're super small

hollow river
#

Mfd sims higher with Dashing for me.

slow marsh
hollow river
balmy condor
#

we're reclearing this week

hollow river
#

Why

#

Just cause? Or was p1 giving you guys trouble

#

We’re barely phasing correctly so we’re making some changes to roster tn

#

But we might end up reclearing next week as well

strange python
#

Is it normal to be parsing lower if I don’t have dashing + frost

balmy condor
#

not having frost is a pretty large problem

#

dashing not so much

strange python
#

I see

#

I’ve been trying to get Stygian embers but heroic pugs are hell

balmy condor
strange python
#

Gonna have to tough it out and clear everything this week somehow

#

Next week too @.@

normal mist
#

Question: if I kill either sylvanas or KT HC, my vaults will also have their loot table options or do I need to kill both so the vault adds their loot table? (Got sylvanas down only)

hollow river
#

Both

subtle tundra
#

bleh, i've done a key as sub and never again 😠 😠 😠 😠 assa masterrace

normal mist
#

So until I kill KT HC I don't have a chance on sylvanas loot on the vault?

hollow river
#

No u can get her loot yes @

normal mist
#

Oh okay. Sweet!

hollow river
#

U can’t get kt loot until u kill him at least once

normal mist
#

Yeah I might have worded that wrong

#

Anyway, 2 bosses left to kill!

gusty mirage
#

@hollow river banging our heads against the sylvanas wall again tonight

hollow river
#

we're switching 1 arms warr for his hunter so 2 hunters and 1 arms now

#

and i think we're switching resto druid for hpal

#

how far have you guys made it oxi?

gusty mirage
#

we make it clean to intermission then it all goes to shit

hollow river
#

same

#

we got to p2 with half alive

#

now we're switching comp so we're gonna have to reoptimize chain damage

oak sky
#

Hunters are pretty good in p1 and p2

#

I think arms is probably better in p3 though

strange python
#

How do you actually parse when you can only get 1 flag in p1 on sylv

balmy condor
#

Play obed I guess

strange python
#

Still only 1 vend

oak sky
#

I mean

#

If ur getting it then so is everyone else

strange python
#

They can do chain can

#

Dam

oak sky
#

Wdym

ebon notch
#

i mean you can do chain dam also

strange python
#

I aint got wild spirits

balmy condor
#

Neither do the other sin rogues?

strange python
#

A lot push slower or do fast push

balmy condor
strange python
#

We tried fast push once, would have passed orange. Then decided not to for sales

#

So sad

stray mural
#

are the boe leather pants from sod bis for frost build

#

only crit heavy legs ive seen

strange python
#

Last in the raid to get fusion amp...DHs, hunters, shams all got first rippppppppppp

balmy condor
viscid spear
hollow river
#

well we got p1 damage down

#

now we just need people to stop dying to shit

ebon notch
hollow river
#

we're already ~115 in

ebon notch
#

cap or

hollow river
#

No kizzy bro

#

We wasted like 70-80 pulls with a raunch comp

#

Switched 1 arms for hunter and we sail through damage wise now

#

I think the biggest thing messing with people is that positioning can change from pull to pull

#

Like the chains/where she jumps to/where black arrows need to go etc

brazen zodiac
#

gl

#

lmfao guardian took like 10 pulls

balmy condor
#

It took us 25 cause we got there end of night and people were losing their shit

brazen zodiac
#

lmfao

ebon notch
#

the hardest part of guardian

#

is that its after painsmith

spice spire
oak sky
ebon notch
oak sky
#

cant kill yet

#

we arent there

shrewd helm
#

for mplus do we run different stats or is it still crit?

plain onyx
oak sky
#

m+ should be crit most important, then probably mastery or haste

#

vers is good too though

#

everything is good

subtle tundra
#

i play 40-42% crit, then depends on dungeon/affixes

#

big aoe dungeon = more mastery

#

a lot of st = more haste

#

also depends on tea

oak sky
#

a solid mix of stats is good for keys though

#

dungeon slice is a good sim for us but its ok to adjust stats a little for your needs

balmy condor
#

Yeh mastery is good

#

But like sub, we don’t really play for aoe

#

We’re the single target cleave boys

#

And haste is really good for that

#

Having some mastery isn’t bad though

#

Vers obviously same thing, not the best but having some is good especially in high keys for a little more survival

spark scaffold
#

Is there a crit cap for raid with tier 5 frost?

#

This is my sim for clarity

dense hamlet
#

JUST use what topgear tells u

balmy condor
#

Stat caps are all nonsense

ebon notch
#

@balmy condor can you do an APL for warrior please

#

Theirs is kinda sussy

balmy condor
lean coral
#

He's tryna steal whispyr

balmy condor
#

I don’t want to put kojiyama’s traveling sim circus out of business

#

He rewrote the entire feral apl from scratch I hear

lean coral
#

Rewrite the boomy one to bait them all to go kyrian

balmy condor
#

Lmao

#

I actually wonder how many people would play simp specs if their externals counted on their damage

#

Like if the bond from kyrian boomy went to the boomy’s details instead of the person they’re buffing

#

You think people would play it?

lean coral
#

If that shit counted for logs probs all of them

balmy condor
#

Blizzard smh

#

Easy fix

#

Not really

#

But easy fix

lean coral
#

Chickens already be dying due to not wanting to move during ramp

#

They'll do anything for the numbers

One of our boomkins dead ass suicided to spike spawns on KT prog

#

Because he fucked his pull

lean coral
#

Lul

subtle tundra
#

on the fight where dps matters least yikes

balmy condor
#

@ebon notch I have actually been wanting to play warrior though I hear good thing, I always went warrior/hunter first in my end of expansion leveling

lean coral
#

The new kt strat makes boss dmg matter

balmy condor
#

I just can’t be asked maintaining 2 classes

lean coral
#

I'd be willing to if not for Dom gems

ebon notch
#

Gonna get my last few pieces from a heroic boost this week

#

And then try blasting

lean coral
#

Need them to add a ember catch-up

ebon notch
#

I'm really surprised they haven't yet

lean coral
#

So far all they announced was higher drop rate for gems

ebon notch
#

@balmy condor go look at their APL and see if there's anything fucky wucky UwU

balmy condor
#

Lmao

#

I’ll bust out the stream early tomorrow

ebon notch
#

Oh rly

#

Time to set up notifications

#

Would be interesting to watch

balmy condor
#

Honestly it’s probably working fine but a lot of rogue complications are aoe/dslice related

ebon notch
#

And shiv

#

Fkin shiv

balmy condor
#

Shiv is actually one of the simpler apl lines

ebon notch
#

Press shiv on cd

balmy condor
#

Rupture and CT lines tho

oak sky
#

rupture, but only in pandemic, and only if if if if

balmy condor
#

The time remaining where you cast rupture

#

Changes based on the bleeds you have out, dashing, doomblade, the time till the mob dies

ebon notch
#

6.5 seconds

#

Every time

#

Without fail

balmy condor
#

The time you remaining where you cast CT changes on legendary, how many mobs you have, the time till the mob dies, the bleeds you have going out

#

And then people still be like “idk dslice isn’t optimized”

#

:/

oak sky
#

haste bad

ebon notch
#

Change the APL to 4 ruptures so I can stop getting memed

#

Please ty

oak sky
#

dslice does always recommend haste though

#

is that because you lose a lot of boss damage without it?

balmy condor
balmy condor
oak sky
#

auto speed on boss

#

tickrate

#

teeny bit of energy

balmy condor
#

Haste only sucks if you can hit your saturation all the time

#

So like 4+, you’re saturating after opener

#

So you got haste going down

#

And then as you get more targets

ebon notch
#

DIVIDE SERVER TICKRATE BY ATTACK SPEED THEN DIVIDE IT AGAIN BY YOUR ILEVEL TO GET ACCURATE DPS FOR ANY ENCOUNTER

balmy condor
#

CT damage stonks

oak sky
#

so like a key where you have tons of mass pulls

balmy condor
#

Mastery stonks

oak sky
#

but you would still want a decent amount of haste

#

you never really want to get fucked by boss

balmy condor
#

Doing math for tick rates on rupture/garrote

#

To get an extra tick in

#

And I’m like “yeah but that doesn’t matter, cause partial ticks exist”

#

And he fucking stared me in my eyes through the screen

balmy condor
#

And unironically said “yeah but if you aren’t ever refreshing dots, it matters”

oak sky
#

oh

#

well it all makes sense now

#

just don't refresh dots

#

of course

balmy condor
#

WHICH IS ALSO DOESNT BECAUSE EVEN ON SINGLE CASTS THERES STILL PARTIAL TICKS

ebon notch
#

Wtf is a partial tick

balmy condor
#

So rupture ticks happen every 2 seconds with 0 haste yeh

#

Which is fine cause all the rupture durations are even numbers

#

Super easy

ebon notch
#

Ok

balmy condor
#

18 second rupture

#

9 ticks

#

But now you have 17.257% haste

ebon notch
#

I'm just about holding on

#

Ye

balmy condor
#

Let’s say 10%

#

For easy math

ebon notch
#

Easy sure

balmy condor
#

So now your dots tick 10% faster

ebon notch
#

0.9 tick

balmy condor
#

So you get 1 tick, every 2 * (1-haste) seconds

ebon notch
#

So is it 90% the damage of a normal tick

balmy condor
#

No

#

Still same damage

#

But now it’s 1.8 seconds

#

and it doesn’t fit nicely into a 16 second rupture for example right

ebon notch
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

So you get 8 ticks

#

And then you have 1.6 seconds left

#

So it does a smaller hit of damage

#

To make up for it

#

A partial tick

ebon notch
#

Wait isn't that what I said

balmy condor
#

That’s also why when you recast rupture

#

You get a venomous wound

#

Instantly on cast

#

Because when you cast a garrote or a rupture

#

It instantly snaps the timer to tick on cast

#

The partial tick either gets added on the new cast

#

Or if it expires, just does a mini hit

cloud reef
ebon notch
#

Wait so what was wrong with what I said

balmy condor
#

Partial ticks are very scary stuff

cloud reef
#

very scary

ebon notch
#

Or was it right but coming from the wrong place

cloud reef
#

im going as a partial tick for halloween

balmy condor
#

Yeah it was right enough

ebon notch
#

Sick

#

I don't remember what we were talking about

balmy condor
#

It’s just the last tick though

ebon notch
#

Ok

#

Would a mastery haste build be good

#

Lots of big ticks

balmy condor
#

Nah

ebon notch
#

Is the scaling too bad

oak sky
#

crit can apply on every tick too

balmy condor
#

Cause the problem is that you need crit for the cp

jaunty kayak
#

will we ever see those big dick PBs like in legion with a shit ton of mastery?

ebon notch
#

Just have like baseline 25%

oak sky
#

our mastery is so boring

balmy condor
#

PB doesn’t have enough of a base damage anymore

#

On top of that

#

Legion mastery was poison only

#

So you could have 200% mastery, 200% poison bomb damage

#

But now the same amount of mastery only gets you like 40%

#

Cause it buffs bleeds too

#

So not only is PB weak

ebon notch
#

The coefficient is shitty

balmy condor
#

Mastery affects it less

ebon notch
#

Bro I closed my eyes and started hearing beeping noises

balmy condor
#

The coefficient is indeed shitty

jaunty kayak
#

so reduced effectiveness of mastery to accomomdate to buff bleeds too?

balmy condor
#

Yeah

jaunty kayak
ebon notch
#

Buff the coefficient

#

Make us bleed again

balmy condor
#

PB in legion also was also just like twice the damage baseline

ebon notch
#

Use your contacts in blizzard

#

Whisp

#

Get us the good stuff

balmy condor
#

My contacts

#

Yeah

#

Of course

#

Let me call my uncle who works at blizzard definitely for sure

ebon notch
#

Guy has some you must do too

#

Or is guy just a socialite

oak sky
#

no tell your blizzard friends to design something cooler for our mastery

#

or give us more cool stuff

jaunty kayak
#

oh.. ofc i didnt mean like 3,5mil crits of PB ... but the big dick dmg scaled down to our dmg rn .. but ig it does not change the fact that its still weak now :/

balmy condor
#

Idk poison bomb is just boring and stupid

balmy condor
ebon notch
#

Make it so that 1% of mastery is 1% more damage

jaunty kayak
#

i miss it anyways

balmy condor
#

% wise it’s just worse

ebon notch
#

Problem solved

jaunty kayak
#

yy i get it now

balmy condor
#

So boring
