Boosting is fine. It's an in-game p2p service for in-game currency

uneven hamlet
#

yeah the token sure gives this feeling I guess, in my server u can't buy tokens so this feeling for me isn't that strong

fallen arch
fleet whale
#

there would still be a lot of boosting even if blizz removed the token

fallen arch
#

Mainly Persian

fleet whale
#

Faction Imbalance, dead realms

fallen arch
#

Is one problem

fleet whale
#

those are the main reasons for boosting pandemic

fallen arch
#

How is that?

fleet whale
#

along with achievements and logs to a lesser degree

#

say you are in alliance

fallen arch
fleet whale
#

not many great alliance raiding guilds

#

in fact it's very top heavy on alliance

fallen arch
#

Still plenty if ur good enough

fleet whale
#

but you still need to build a resume

#

what's an easy way to build a resume? boosting

fallen arch
#

But ye for a casual it’s rough

fleet whale
#

you just made me think of another problem

#

SL is too casual unfriendly

fallen arch
#

Not lot of pugs will accept you tbh

kindred rapids
#

why are there no obedience parses on painsmith

fleet whale
#

point is, even if blizz removes the token, boosting will still exist and be a major problem

kindred rapids
#

feels like it's pretty good on that fight?

fallen arch
#

But we’ll never know

#

Not happening

#

But we’re getting off topic

fallen arch
fleet whale
#

and wow assassin is the top spec for the raid according to logs

fallen arch
#

Is it?

fleet whale
#

I remember when SL launched and sin barely could beat tanks lol

#

well on average yeah

fallen arch
#

Yeah sin wasn’t great when SL came out

fleet whale
#

actually it seems all rogues specs are good

inland hull
#

Yeah, dropping CP into SnD didn't feel good in 9.0

fallen arch
kindred rapids
fallen arch
#

Try it I’d say

#

I agree, sounds good

kindred rapids
#

for me they sim almost within margin of error of each other. could be due to my gear.

fallen arch
#

But don’t know the numbers

#

But it’s a hassle to switch around from other bosses

#

Where you all play dashing frost

#

And with obe I reckon u play unholy

oak sky
#

Wront

#

Wrong

#

Always frost

fallen arch
#

Right

#

Don’t even have obe, so what do I know

oak sky
#

Frost is a thing with our spec having a bunch of ticks and stuff and being good with crit already

inland hull
#

Frost but with high crit. Dashing frost pulled ahead for me at about 35% crit and pulled way ahead by 40%

kindred rapids
#

for some reason all of my best parses are with obedience

#

for some reason I can't make dashing perform as well

#

I'm close to giving up and just playing obedience exclusively

lean coral
#

how much crit do you have

kindred rapids
#

42%

lean coral
#

might be why

#

im hovering around 50% personally

kindred rapids
#

ah

#

that's with gland even

#

painsmith ring / pants will help a lot for that

fallen arch
lean coral
#

im gemmed and chanted for haste too

fallen arch
#

Does crit stil sim better than haste at that point?

ebon notch
kindred rapids
#

nope

#

just getting past first intermission in prog

kindred rapids
lean coral
#

is that ring off the nine the only other ring you have?

kindred rapids
#

heroic breaking wheel as well

#

about equivalent in sims

lean coral
#

yeh cause they both kinda suck

#

theres 2 good rings in dungeons you can go get

#

bloodoath and arachnid cypher

kindred rapids
#

too lazy, waiting for the vault to give me one 🙂

lean coral
#

haste mastery legs on too

kindred rapids
#

maybe I should wait to get the legion dungeon autoattack ring

lean coral
#

2 months from now? lol

#

guess its a bit under a month

kindred rapids
lean coral
#

yeah

ebon notch
#

theres no way they keep the CoS ring in its current state

lean coral
#

had it in vault couple weeks ago

ebon notch
#

that'll be so bis on almost every spec

lean coral
#

but mythic sylv chest was also there

#

yeah i doubt that ring keeps the proc

#

or effect i mean

kindred rapids
#

can't believe they haven't said anything about loot

kindred rapids
lean coral
#

thats not when legion timewalking is tho fam

kindred rapids
#

what??

lean coral
#

its a month after the patch

kindred rapids
#

disgusting

fallen arch
#

Ye

#

.5 patch takes what? 3 months

golden prairie
fallen arch
#

They give us 1 new (old thing) which takes another 4 weeks

lean coral
#

its legit just a alt patch

kindred rapids
golden prairie
#

doesnt matter, finally got'em

ebon notch
#

killed sylv first time week 2

#

on heroic

#

killed her 3 times on mythic now

lean coral
#

ive killed sylv since like week 3 and had mythic sylv on farm for about month and a half now

#

never seen a second dagger

#

other rogue in guild looted one and got 2nd from vault following week

golden prairie
#

2x259 shieeet

fallen arch
#

Sorry not sorry

#

Heroic tho

fallen arch
lean coral
#

i think most of my guild agrees that game is trash

golden prairie
#

we've started m sylv like week ago - hope we can kill her before 9.2 kekw

fallen arch
#

If u can kill within like, 5 months

#

Good chance u might

lean coral
#

the goal is the guild not dying during prog or after it dies

fallen arch
#

Let’s face it, we’re not gonna get 9.2 before like March

fallen arch
#

I actually gave up

#

Just cba

#

I’ll remain 9/10 this tier

lean coral
#

first guild legit died within minutes of killing sylv

#

joineda new one that had it on farm

fallen arch
#

How many guilds are gonna be left after this tier

oak sky
#

Oz ur such a doomer bro

fallen arch
#

Yes sorry

#

I’ll stop

oak sky
#

February 9.2 💯

fallen arch
#

Bad for morale

oak sky
#

😄

fallen arch
#

January copium

oak sky
#

Big cope

#

Not totally impossible though

#

Depends when we get ptr

fallen arch
#

Ptr needs to hit super soon then

#

Not likely

oak sky
#

What do we get a 2 month ptr for 9.2?

fallen arch
#

They’ve got hands full on .5 stuff

fallen arch
#

Seems a fair estimate

oak sky
#

Yeah that doesnt sound wrong

#

Ptr a month into half patch

lean coral
#

if they do blizzconline again in like march or w.e

fallen arch
#

Anything later would be a disappointment

oak sky
#

Next xpac or if we get 9.3 should be blizzconline announcement i think

fallen arch
lean coral
#

without?

oak sky
#

They arent doing blizzcon this year

vital haven
#

9.2 in like 3 months

#

then full throttle to next expac

#

there isn't gonna be a 9.3 for SL

oak sky
#

We dont have insider info

ebon notch
agile hill
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
fallen arch
ebon notch
oak sky
#

They alr said no blizzcon

lean coral
#

i mean shit florida doesnt have any either

#

and theyre dropping like flies

fallen arch
#

Its antivaxxers, we can do without

ebon notch
#

floridians are dying of freedom bro

#

wdym

lean coral
#

but yeah they aint gonna do blizzcon lmao

#

rona aint over

oak sky
#

They said they arent

#

Iirc

stray mural
#

It’s going to be another Blizzconline or whatever they called it

oak sky
#

California still has restrictions anyway

#

Just lighter than before

ebon notch
#

have you seen UK cases

#

theyve been shooting up

fallen arch
#

Netherlands too

ebon notch
#

hasnt dropped below 30k a day for 2 months now

fallen arch
#

But

ebon notch
#

and just hit 50k

fallen arch
#

Nobody seems to die anymore of it tho here

#

Almost *

lean coral
#

most places stopped reporting the deaths

#

according to google netherlands is averaging 6 a day

ebon notch
#

bro did you see when that scientist in florida

#

posted real numbers

#

and they raided her house

fallen arch
#

Which is terminally ill people anyway

ebon notch
#

to stop her

lean coral
#

6 deaths a day over a month

#

is not covid being over

#

is the point im tryna get at

fallen arch
#

But lets end the covid thing here

#

More people probably die of the flu atm

oak sky
#

Over there

#

Lol

lean coral
#

god imagine a blizzcon rn

ebon notch
#

bro our deaths are spiking to over 100

lean coral
#

most of the fuckers that go already dont take showers

ebon notch
#

we had a day where over 200 people died

lean coral
#

shit i dont even look at my state

#

i should

#

only 39 past month

#

lower than i thought for nyc

ebon notch
#

our health secretary is talking about cases going over 100k a day in christmas

#

and people are still chilling

lean coral
#

wait no this is wrong

vital haven
#

dude i dont even need blizzcon

#

just some communication

#

ANYTHING PLZ

lean coral
#

theyre too busy looking through the game to fix anything sexist

fallen arch
#

Wait

#

This isnt assassination by covid channel?

nimble tartan
#

its like 1989 in here

bleak sky
#

no it's 2021

fiery mauve
#

does anyone know what was the consensus when you have a kyrian druid

#

nadja or theotar

pure moth
#

Those are venthyr soulbinds, not kyrian

fiery mauve
#

Yes

deft obsidian
#

He’s asking which soulbind is better being simped by a kyrian I assume 😉

fiery mauve
#

Yeah there was a discussion somewhere and I forgot what the outcome was

#

O well

oak sky
#

It gives crit right?

fiery mauve
#

With the leggo yes

plain onyx
#

is 8k overall dps for a 236ilvl in M+ considered as good ?

oak sky
#

I would think nadjia is probably better because it reduces the value of crit tea

#

But I havent seen any real TC on it personally

solar stump
hollow river
#

8k isn't terrible, but if it was something like NW for instance with damage amps inside the dungeon, then it's a bit on the lower side i'd say

bleak sky
#

fellow sylvanas gamers

#

if obedience and dashing are simming within the margin of error for you

#

would you take obe or dashing?

hollow river
#

hmm

#

you using mfd?

violet jackal
#

Any update on Jeweled Signet of Melandrus, anyone farming for it?

solar stump
bleak sky
bleak sky
solar stump
#

I'd stick to dashing

hollow river
#

i use dashing but it sims better than Obedience by a decent amount for me

#

if it's within margin of error then i'd just stick with dashing tbh

solar stump
#

but that's just because usually it generally just feels smoother to play, but I think either would be fine

#

your CDs are usually assigned to specific platforms regardless

hollow river
#

yep

solar stump
#

obedience just means you can flag every platform ig

hollow river
#

we're stopping dps so fast in p1 now i don't get a 2nd vendetta

solar stump
#

depends what your team needs

hollow river
#

i either have to send before 3rd veil and waste ~10 seconds of it or try to send after and they call stop ~5 seconds in ):

bleak sky
#

flagging every p[latform or every burn pphase?

hollow river
#

every platform

solar stump
#

Might need to flag the off target so it doesnt end prematurely

#

depends if you're wanting to pad or not

#

cos if you put it on the prio target and it melts you wont get decent value from obedience in p2

#

the easy answer is to go dashing and just send it when you're assigned to blow something up 😂

bleak sky
#

gotcha, ty guys

kind talon
#

Obedience would give you an extra flag on painsmith phases yeah?

balmy condor
#

nah

#

at least it didn't during my prog

#

I got 1 extra flag during p2

#

but p1 push was around a minute, so no extra flag there

#

and p3 with lust boss melted

#

so you just get p2 flag

#

which isn't really that great tbh

oak sky
#

P1 you never get extra because everyone has cds

balmy condor
#

yeh

oak sky
#

P2 you can because stuff times weird

#

P3 you get 2 either way because its 10% longer

guys I am struggling to get over 4k dps on H Sylv as Necro with MA

i was trying to fix it for hrs

#

at least this is an easy fix

amber fossil
#

what do you guys use on chains? Al I can do is fan before they are down

balmy condor
#

nothing usually

amber fossil
#

no sense putting a bleed on them

echo geyser
#

use sbs if u are necro

#

get some free cp

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

tossing out sbs is good

#

maybe a rupture to snipe it but probably not

Yay, 262 dashing scoundrel

scoundrel was only like a 40 dps upgrade surprisingly

balmy condor

necro?

exotic rose
#

Hey guys, I've been looking through logs and I'm curious why most of the highest parses (top 100) are with Vigor and Dashing Scoundrel even though Obedience and MFD tend to sim higher. Is it just the fact that it is harder to execute the Obedience + MFD rotation?

hollow river
hollow river
#

and yes technically its a little more difficult to execute properly i suppose

exotic rose
#

Sure, the top 1 is indeed using mfd + obedience but still 70% using vigor.

#

And just 8% using Obedience.

hollow river
#

just use whatever sims best for you/what you are more comfortable playing

hollow river
#

for me in particular it sims better

exotic rose
#

Yeah, I've been using Obedience + mfd , it sims higher for me, I was just curious why the majority of the top logs aren't.

hollow river
#

ye it basically boils down to everything stated above^

#

and comfort etc

exotic rose
#

Ye, cheers.

My first orange ever in mythic feelsloveman RHcord

balmy condor
warm drift
#

can mfd be an 300dps upgrade?

balmy condor
#

Depends over what

#

But sure

warm drift
#

i think i might f the sim up

#

over vigor

balmy condor
#

Link

warm drift
#

dont mind my shards lol

balmy condor
#

Yeh looks okay to me

#

I’m on mobile

warm drift
#

pog

balmy condor
#

So might miss something

#

But aside from the gain being pretty high looks okay

#

Think you’re overriding something

warm drift
#

i have no idea but i think so too

#

ran a sim again mfd is actually a close to 300 dps upgrade with dashing too

#

nice

slow marsh
warm drift
#

its 271 or not?

#

with haste gems

#

or im blind

slow marsh
#

click your highest combo without mfd then you'll see how much mfd itself gives you

warm drift
#

with obidiance 326

#

oohhhh

#

wow okay so geming haste is a big gane too for me

#

gain

slow marsh
#

yeah seems like it. when you're lower ilevel haste is better

warm drift
#

didnt know

#

cool ty 🙂

slow marsh
#

oh wait you're not low ilvl though

#

how are you simming so low

warm drift
#

nah im low on shards

#

rank3

#

thats kinda why

#

i guess

slow marsh
#

ah yeah that's it

#

didn't look lol

warm drift
#

did some mistakes with shards so im behind

strange python
#

can someone ELI5 how to sim food buffs in patchwerk and DS ?

#

or it doesnt really matter that much just but the cheapest OMEGAKEKW

balmy condor
#

!oi

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

balmy condor
#

!oil

limber lion
#

Unless you're someone who cares about 10 dps, then you're fine just using whatever is cheapest

strange python
#

fair enough bro

limber lion
#

I just default to Sharpening Stones/Agi pots for consistency, oil is kinda ass in aoe

strange python
#

same, just thought i might sim it for good measure

#

but ty anyway

limber lion
#

All the power to ya

#

Hi, my mfd disappears from my spell bar every time i change my spec, do you guys know how to fix that ? I'm using elvui btw

#

Maybe it's the wrong channel but it only happens with my sin spec 😛

ebon notch
#

just for mfd

#

and it should stay

terse talon
#

yeah use a mouseover macro

upbeat needle
#

dashing generally pretty bad in keys

#

u only run dashing for the crits to funnel winds and that doesn't work in m+ so prob still obed or zoldyks if you're necro

sturdy merlin
#

I'm not really used to mfd mouseover but thanks for the tip i'll make it a macro

terse talon
sturdy merlin
#

👍🏻 great

charred wraith
#

outlaw and 2 other specs have "different" mfd's, bc outlaw's is on 60 sec cd

upbeat needle
#

mouseover good for sniping low health targets too

#

while not swapping off ur main target

#

10/10 would recommend

sturdy merlin
#

Sure it's just a habit to get into 🙂

terse talon
#

To get the hang of hit, make mouseover for rupture aswell

upbeat needle
#

making all your rupture and garrote mouseovers ain't a bad idea tbh

terse talon
#

yepp, I do that and its pretty sweet

#

and a "no rupture" plater mod so its very clear which enemies doesn't have rupture applied.. makes it easier in clustered packs

upbeat needle
#

and pandemic notifier as well

#

"notifier"

#

that is not a word

#

lmao

terse talon
#

and Slice admiral so you can have a cat meowing when its time to reapply xD

how does the damage scale past 8 targets for CT and FoK is it scale root ?

do you guys use vendetta on fatescribe intermission adds or nah?

I save Vendetta only for boss. But I send Flag on intermission adds.

cos you want it for lust

slow marsh
#

This is your daily reminder that the night fae master cov takeover is imminent. Prepare for impact.

timid cloud
#

Not getting gaslight into that dogshit like I was in CN

slow marsh
#

it was pretty good in CN though until they reworked flag

#

funny how times have changed and now sepsis is the one that needs the rework

spice spire
#

It was bis covenant until 9.0.5. When you know we had covenants finally. And damage!

#

But also NF simps cringeasf

slow marsh
#

it would actually be competitive if sepsis's stealth ability actually gained effects as if used from stealth

timid cloud
#

Also if it cost no energy.

spice spire
#

You can get a silenced garrote with subterfuge yejoice

#

But it’s not empowered kekl

timid cloud
#

The only thing that makes it good is the torghast powers.

slow marsh
#

NF already struggles in the soulbind department for us. Even if sepsis got everything we would want it to get it still wouldn't be the play i htink

spice spire
#

You can lay some pipe in Torghast. Remember one of the other rogues getting the exodia of powers for NF and pulling over a mill dps. Nutter stuff

#

Burrs was okayish ngl haven’t even looked at the last row ever

timid cloud
balmy condor
spice spire
#

I kinda figured

#

I’ll stick with the master covenant, Necrolord

#

And do some venthyr shenanigans for raid on 9.1.5

oak sky
#

Reverse

#

Necro shenanigans once sylv dies

slow marsh
#

sylv seems like a better necro fight idk

spice spire
#

It’s not

oak sky
#

Its not

spice spire
#

I don’t think it is

oak sky
#

Only p3 and p2 burn actually matter

spice spire
#

Because you can time your windows pretty well in p2/3 with flag

#

Which is infinitely more valuable than a bit of spike damage here and there

oak sky
#

Do you play heirmir anymore or is it kevin now

#

Marileth

slow marsh
#

i view necro as the 1min spec so maybe that's why

spice spire
#

You can play both

#

I prefer heirmir

#

But Marileth up there too

oak sky
#

Necro is still less burst and less st than venthyr

#

Its viable tho

spice spire
#

Mainly because Kevin >>>>>>>>< mnmenonic device

slow marsh
#

true

#

but

#

18% crit?

#

mnenonic device was such a letdown though

#

i was hype about the execute built in to soulbind but alas, it's booty cheeks

spice spire
#

Mfw 60% crit during gemstones but still 2 CP muts

slow marsh
#

truuu

#

but with 99% crit in MA window during flag

oak sky
#

Mnemonic device sounds really bad

#

Wow

slow marsh
#

it is lol

#

the strenght of bonersmith is the gemstones and i guess main stat is ok

#

but idk i've been out of the necro game since 9.1

oak sky
#

Gemstone is really solid

#

Idk though

#

I only played necro for a week or so in 9.0.5

slow marsh
#

i played necro for sire after trying venth for awhile

spice spire
#

I can tell you

#

However device sounds

#

It’s worse in practice

#

Out of 8500 DPS, it does about 50 kekl

oak sky
#

I mean it sounds awful

#

3% of your dps only below 35%

fallen arch
#

Ye it sucks balls

#

It’s super w/e

#

We play necro because of bonespike

fallen arch
#

That was cool

full tendon
wraith mantle
#

is it worth it to duel wield edge of night or only one for debuff

violet jackal
#

dual mythic edge of nights is bis

wraith mantle
#

how about if there both normal

shy dust
#

Sim it

timid cloud
#

It only sims like 50 dps under most 252's, at least for me.

#

But weapon damage is big massive.

#

More of a Sub thing.

brazen zodiac
pearl ingot
#

So even if 9.1.5 hits it will still be Necro for M+ and Venth for raid? Thought NF can have a chance to be tested but if garrote is not even empowered…Legendary rework sounds good :/

slow marsh
#

yeah nf is still troll i just like to meme about it to annoy certain people

arctic walrus
#

@balmy condor is mfd > vigor in dungeons

balmy condor
#

not imo

#

if you play obed in dungeons, you can make a case for like "oh but boss damage"

#

but usually mfd + subt = pain and not good

#

#

hey guys, my rings are enchanted with haste tenets and haste gems. when i sim for m+ i get " +3 " dps difference if i change them all to Crit enchants .. is it worth it ?

oak sky
#

nah

#

3 dps is within margin of error

kind talon
fallen arch
fallen arch
balmy condor
#

Dslice is not aoe

#

So makes sense

oak sky
#

bosses are a significant part of dungeons anyways

#

also

#

doesnt haste increase dot tickrate which makes it not turbo useless in aoe anyway

fallen arch
#

Ye I know but still

balmy condor
#

If anything it’ll gain a bit in 9.1.5 with target caps

#

Ct poison stonks

#

On like

#

The 4 pulls it matters

oak sky
#

but mastery also gains stonks

balmy condor
oak sky
#

i feel like theres decent aoe pulls in almost every dungeon

#

or the potential for them

#

but its still mostly a feel change of course

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

I mean at the end of the day

#

You sim for what you want to

#

And you interpret the data how you want

fallen arch
balmy condor
#

I mean me and Ryfie disagree about sims and stuff

#

Me and jpc disagree

#

But at the end of the day, we don’t disagree that the sim is wrong, or bad, or inaccurate, etc

#

We disagree about what the data is showing

#

And as long as the person understands what they’re looking at and why it is the way it is

#

It’s a good conversation

#

The really really bad conversations that make me go

#

Those are the ones where it’s like “I don’t like dungeonslice for dungeon evaluations, so I sim 10 target 15 second”

#

And they don’t turn off bloodlust

#

And I’m sitting there like bruh what are you trying to get out of that

#

But things like playing zoldyck and some more mastery cause you prioritize aoe more, versus obedience and some more haste for bosses

#

Like that’s fine

#

You just don’t value X more than Y

vestal wren
#

its even worse currently as there are even more footguns in low target sims like the dom set

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

I had someone in DM’s ask me if it’s worth to unequip cor for a healing shard, because the dps seemed not worth

#

My guy was simming 4 target 5 minute

#

:/

vestal wren
#

tbh i think you can't prevent people interpreting data wrong.
my approach is more towards just showing the data and trying to be educational about it
if someone makes their own conclusion a different way that's fine too

errant plover
#

I'm always curious how dslice works. Does it build in a time lapse between pulls?

#

Actually, what's the best resource to look things like that up?

vestal wren
#

it basically is a long single target fight followed by a small and a bigger add group alternating

#

the mob count and duration of each of the groups/mobs is randomized, this means you get diffrent uptimes on certain target counts

balmy condor
#

There’s also restealths and some random downtime between packs

#

So like a pack of 2 followed by a pack of 5, with 7 seconds of stealth between

vestal wren
#

koji showed the uptime in #tc-updates when he updated the fight script

balmy condor
#

But the next iteration might be a pack of 3, chained into a pack of 7

#

As for the where to look it up, you can see a lot in the full html of a sim

#

The GitHub is also good

#

But I’ve found that the documentation can be a little outdated at times

#

Still a good baseline

#

But like dslice numbers might not be exactly the same

errant plover
#

Everytime I ask things in rogue discord I get awesome answers and it boosts my confidence in using it, then I go to other class discords and they tell to me to avoid it. I'm going to keep using it. But will look into understanding it more (like actually reading the html). Thanks fellas.

vestal wren
#

one thing to keep in mind about dungeon slice if you compare it to your details ingame is how both work

#

details only shows you your active time

#

while dungeon slice or wcl shows you the overall dps

errant plover
#

Oh wow, didn't know that, makes sense though. Details will generally be higher then. Assuming good play.

balmy condor
#

Like rupture has a condition for things like time to die, how many are out, how many targets you have

#

And a lot of specs just don’t have that support

errant plover
#

But they gave other reasons I don't buy

vestal wren
#

the class/spec needs to have optimizations for add events

balmy condor
#

Yeah that too

vestal wren
#

thats mostly what dungeon slice needs

#

multi target support is at least for me sth that should work on most classes

#

because even those who "dislike" dungeon slice often use sims with multiple targets

balmy condor
#

Yeah, warrior apl for example is split into single target, and aoe

#

But it’s mostly a toggle on 2 targets

vestal wren
#

serialos did a kinda "supported" fight style document a while back

balmy condor
#

2+

#

I should say

vestal wren
#

and a lot of classes did end up supporting everything outside of dungeon slice

balmy condor
#

How do they support HAC but not dslice

#

HAC has similar mechanics

#

Add events, etc

vestal wren
#

kekw yes

balmy condor
#

If I ever stop playing rogue shoot me

vestal wren
#

to be fair the early days of dslice had some issues

#

raid_events+=/invulnerable,cooldown=500,duration=500,retarget=1

balmy condor
#

Actually can’t imagine simming a warlock alt after looking at rogue apl for the last 2 years

vestal wren
#

^ dungeon slice has a invulnerability event to the main actor, this did break some things

#

(we talk about early versions of it, this should be all fixed for a while)

#

the sim does switch to other targets if the main target is invuln, but it did break some caster pre combat stuff before fixed iirc

vestal wren
#

iirc it got somewhat better, but i am still unsure about its quality on all 3 specs

balmy condor
#

Well yeah, everyone WANTS to be the person to fix it

#

It’s just that they don’t actually want to do the work to fix it

#

It’s a lot of work to rewrite the apl, I doubt any one person will step up to it

#

Probably need like 3-4 people

vestal wren
#

i think its more than that

#

you basically need to double check the implementation before doing apl

#

so you need to level a wl too

balmy condor
#

Yeh

vestal wren
#

i could do some wl logs if somone rly wants to approach it

#

my gf has almost all classes on max level (shes atm leveling the last 2, rogue and warrior), and i could
login to her account and do some testing ask her to create me some logs 😉

#

How long is it worth holding shiv for vendetta?

#

I usually use if I'm still going to get another shiv at maximum 10 seconds into vendetta, that correct?

#

Also is it worth using the deathly shadows prepull on sin aswell?

spice spire
#

Ten seconds is good

#

Deathly shadow prepull doesn’t work for any spec except sub

#

So no

spark scaffold
#

Thanks, and in the opener

#

I've seen a lot of openers on warcraftlogs

#

Is there any sequence for the first 5 casts that's always the best?

#

Pure single target in raid ofc

spice spire
#

Depends on covenant first

#

And what’s your first three talents?

spark scaffold
#

I play elaborate planning and vigor

glass tulip
#

this is what I do, copied it from Whispyr's logs

#

exact same stuff as you

spark scaffold
#

I don't know if mfd is better or not

spice spire
#

This is mfd vs vigorbhere. Vigor opener is mut snd mut garro flag rupture

spice spire
#

Ye it autocorrected to and

spark scaffold
#

Ok, in case it is better, how do i incorporate it into the rotation

#

Use on CD

#

And make sure I use it during flag

#

Right?

glass tulip
#

yep, that's pretty much it

spice spire
#

Yes, but on the opener, after the rupture - mfd after

spark scaffold
#

Yup, and also the 1 MFD that's not during flag I should try using during shiv I guess

spice spire
#

You don’t want to prepull SnD with mfd not do it for the rupture so you can establish all your bleeds n shit

spark scaffold
#

Worth delaying shiv for that?

#

Yy, its for the buff from flag

#

I understand

spice spire
#

Honestly don’t remember as I’m a healthy necropapi. I want to say it’s possible in #assassination-faq though

glass tulip
#

you're also talking about a tiny fraction of a percent for holding abilities like shiv or mfd to go together

#

itll give you a few thousand at the end of an encounter

spark scaffold
#

True, and also it depends on boss timers

#

Maybe if you hold it you'll delay it by too long from getting a bomb on guardian for example and then it will desync with flag

#

You are right

#

Thank you for the help guys ❤️

kind talon
#

Don’t hold for shiv you want it to sync up brother

spark scaffold
#

Nono, was talking about holding shiv for it rather than the other way around

kind talon
#

Nah

#

That’s even worse

spark scaffold
#

Oh and I forgot something

#

On warcraftlogs everyone shows up as using agility potion

#

But on guides it says that phantom fire is better on up to 3 targets?

kind talon
#

Consistency

#

Basically

spark scaffold
#

Is phantom fire inconsistent?

oak sky
#

you only hold mfd for flag btw

oak sky
spark scaffold
#

So I should be using agil potion and sharpening stones then

oak sky
#

its more consistent

#

if phantom fire sims higher theres some chance it can highroll

#

but agi and sharpening is pretty much always the same

rotund salmon
#

what is the ideal haste, crit and versa for assas rogue in raid

golden basalt
#

sim it, I think tho the highest possible sim dps is achieved with 60% crit, 20% haste and vers/mast around 10%

#

wouldnt aim for it tho but just continuiously sim what seems to be the stat weights for your character

rotund salmon
#

thanks

#

you sim it on 7 min single target or different?

golden basalt
#

pretty sure its standard 5 min patchwerk

spark scaffold
oak sky
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

oak sky
#

because we run MA basically

spark scaffold
#

Ah I see

oak sky
#

you dont want to waste your MA window by using garrote during it

spark scaffold
#

You almost get guaranteed

#

5 combo points for flag rupture anyway with MA

#

Yeah sorry, I'm dumb

oak sky
#

pretty much yeah

#

and then with vanish another 2 sets

spark scaffold
#

I'm only at 46 crit atm so

oak sky
#

thats plenty if it sims well

spark scaffold
#

92% chance for 4 cp

#

It simms 10k, but I'm at 245 ilv

oak sky
#

not bad

spark scaffold
#

It's enough for heroic at least

#

And first 3 on mythic

#

Dunno about rest since I haven't been able to pug it

fallen arch
#

Mythic is not about ilvl

oak sky
#

even with lower crit your chance of getting more combo points is still high

fallen arch
#

It makes it faster and easier

spark scaffold
#

Sure but also you don't wanna be last on the dps chart

fallen arch
#

But by no means you need ‘x’ to do mythic and do well

oak sky
#

yeah hes right

#

ive been the lowest geared member of every raid team ive been in for most of the tier

#

i still perform plenty well

#

only fight I havent been least geared is sylvanas

#

we have a lower geared feral

#

and its also not always ilvl but the pieces you have

fallen arch
#

U need to play realy badly or die as sin to be on the lower brackets in an avg raidteam

spark scaffold
#

Do agree with both of you truth is I'm just a dps whore 😦

fallen arch
#

That’s fine

#

Sin is good for that too

spark scaffold

I respect the mechanics but I like cheesing them as much as possible

south hollow
#

Which one do you guys think is more fit for KT progression? Assa or sub?

#

if they are played at the same level

violet jackal
#

Assassination if you are going downstairs, subtley if you are staying above would be my assumption, wait for a more confirmed answer though

south hollow
#

Yeah im going downstairs each time so i have to hold my cds

vast forum
#

either works

#

sub is good downstairs

#

assa is good downstairs

violet jackal
#

I’m sure the difference is marginal and doesn’t matter overall

south hollow
#

That's actual and factual

#

mfd sims higher than vigor for me, should i take it for kt since im using crimson tempest too?

#

i am really indecisive

violet jackal
#

Venthyr and obedience?

limber lion
#

That goes for all fights.

#

As Venthyr that is.

south hollow
#

venthyr and dashing

#

i didnt sim obe yet

violet jackal
#

Our lord savior has spoken trust his words prayge

echo geyser
spice spire
#

Ye

echo geyser
spice spire
#

If you don’t have sylv dagger, dashing will sim higher, if you do, obedience generally will.
General rule, not absolute

echo geyser
#

oh rly

#

havent simmed assa in a while, might become my main raid spec if my lag doesnt stop

spice spire
#

It is a lag helper. And yeah - that’s what’s been uncovered anyway. But yeah mfd is the play

south hollow
#

man i feel energy starved

#

im not pooling right

limber lion
#

Pooling won't help you much in that department

fleet anchor
#

Assassination is a slow spec. You’re always gonna feel energy starved

#

Especially with Frost favoring Crit

south hollow
#

with vigor it didn't feel so bad besad

fleet anchor
#

Something something class fantasy

limber lion
#

And most of the time it's in the users head

#

Like you will never feel the difference between 15% and 25% haste

fleet anchor
#

Alt tab and look at logs if you’re bored 😄

limber lion
#

But some people claim that it's night and day

fleet anchor
#

I actually think most of what makes Vigor feel good is the higher max during the opener and coming off downtime more than the regen itself.

south hollow
#

It's like arms war and the way gcd works for them

limber lion
#

Yeah, apm wise I think they're pretty close.

#

MfD is basically just an extra button to press every 30s.

charred wraith
south hollow
#

oh damn obedience sims higher O_O

echo geyser
#

this seems interesting

limber lion
#

With MFD it tends to sim higher

limber lion
#

MfD + Obedience being the best performing single target combination

south hollow
#

like 20 dps higher

echo geyser
#

so using it on every fight is good?

south hollow
limber lion
#

Yes.

echo geyser
#

kermit_pepe hell yeah

#

u still use mfd at 15 sec before pull and ull get one inside first flag right?

limber lion
#

I wouldn't use MfD pre-pull unless you get like a 25s pre-pull

#

It might be a bit janky for future Flag windows if you barely fit it in the first one

echo geyser
#

ah makes sense

limber lion
#

And we don't really get much from using it pre-pull anyway

south hollow
#

"yo can we make a 25s timer like we used to do in bfa? im using double on use" kekw

echo geyser
#

yeah thats true we have infinite snd anyways

limber lion
#

We always used 25s pull timers with Method

south hollow
#

oh right! you are in method now

#

Congrats man

limber lion
#

Gives people time to think through talents, gear etc.

#

Nah, not anymore. I've quit the game. :P

echo geyser

so u just use it first finisher after flag i suppose

#

Yeah I have been exceptionally busy of late and that's not helping

limber lion
#

I'm kind of glad the game dipped so much and the patch cycles being so extremely slow

#

Doesn't feel too bad to quit the game when it's so stale

#

Don't really get much from doing the same dailies every day and mythic raids 3 times a week for no loot.

fleet anchor
#

I really would love to make a run at parsing this tier (my gear is garbo luck right now so pointless atm) but that would require the game to cooperate and I'm running out of patience 😛

#

That feel when 50% of all my Mythic gear drops are from The Eye 🤔
(Wish I was joking)

limber lion
#

Yeh, gear definitely helps. Especially now where all the big guns are either 254 equipped or have some sort of externals

fleet anchor
#

Externals I can kinda live with but until I get at least one Mythic dagger and Mythic fusion amplifier I feel like it's not even worth trying

#

I sim like 1k or more below top gearsets atm

limber lion
#

Yeah well, Kindred Affinity giving us more than 1k dps aint helping either

#

Good luck trying to beat someone who has a simp druid on the roster :P

fleet anchor
#

At least I got legs and gloves this week.. was my first gear upgrades in like a month

#

Still sitting on 4 Heroic items in my gearset (was 6!!) after all this time

I've only kept 6 Mythic (and 4 usable) drops since the start of the tier, this personal loot tier has not been kind to me 😄

#

Might be worth mentioning on WCL Discord tbh

limber lion
#

Already done.

fleet anchor
#

Still think it's fairly BS that buffed parses aren't on their own leaderboard 😛

#

Or at least keeping track of an unbuffed leaderboard in the background

limber lion
#

Yeah, but that brings with it possible griefing as well

#

Anyone with an external can grief your pure runs, because people suck

#

And they do dumb stuff

fleet anchor
#

lol sure, but if you're getting griefed by your own raid that's kinda not really everyone else's fault 😛

limber lion
#

But yeah, I do agree that it's a bit all over the place currently

vestal wren
fleet anchor
#

Considering fflogs has distinct aDPS vs rDPS rankings I don't really get why Khira hasn't added a distinct ranking entry for unbuffed parses at least

limber lion
#

Kihra has said that they will be adding Kyrian Affinity as an external and it'll show up as 1 buff.

fleet anchor
#

I mean buffed parses can still go into the "main" view

#

And that be the default

limber lion
#

It's apparently hard to track that because it's not tracked well by combat logs.

fleet anchor
#

But I think unbuffed people deserve to know where on the "unbuffed" leaderboard they are

limber lion
#

On Blizzard's end that is

limber lion
#

Nothing wrong with having one for the pureblooded boys.

fleet anchor
#

I'll literally never get a raid buff ever in my raid group so

#

lol

vestal wren
#

we had 2 enh shamans

limber lion
#

Me neither, but then again we used to private log with my previous 3 guilds.

vestal wren
#

all 2 stopped playing

limber lion
#

So kinda whatever

vestal wren
#

i mean my gear is worse than kojis, so i am not in a position to log 😛

limber lion
#

My parses can't really get any better, but I can always work on the ranking whenever someone beats my parses.

#

Feels kinda bad losing by a hair just because someone got fed externals though

fleet anchor
#

I'd need like 6 people in my raid to get assassinated before I got to the line of succession for PI 🤣

limber lion
#

Lost my r1 Sire parse by 0.7 dps to someone who got 3 PI's back in Cn.

#

Massive 0.7 dps

#

I don't honestly even care for externals.

#

It doesn't work well as a comparison to your previous parses

#

I aim to always do better than last time and suddenly doing 300 dps more because I get externals kinda ruins it

fleet anchor
#

Rogues aren't an awful external target (way better than those terrible charts from Azor would indicate)

#

But realistically Balance Druids, Shadow Priests, and Warlocks are probably better

limber lion
#

I mean

#

You shouldn't be using all of your PI's on the same target either

#

That's just being lazy

#

But yeah, Kyrian Druid's are just absolutely insane. Nothing else comes even close.

fleet anchor
#

We had 3 Balance Druids on prog and they ate all of them 🤣

limber lion
#

PI being like 300 dps, Kyrian druid is 1.2k

#

Makes no sense.

strange python
#

Kyrian?

fleet anchor
#

But Azor's chart sucks because it uses set timings for PI (not any way around to unfortunately) which just sucks for the default Venthyr profile

#

Since Vendetta timings aren't set

limber lion
#

Yeh

fleet anchor
#

I did some isolated tests for figuring out PI value on intermission Sylv burns

#

And Rogue was extremely competitive

#

But Shadow Priest seemed a bit better

fleet anchor
#

And Demo Lock was also a bit higher

limber lion
#

Yeh, Demo is kinda dumb

fleet anchor
#

But Assassination was actually like the 3rd best option in our raid, compared to the chart which shows it as one of the worst 🤔

fallen arch
#

Also there's player reliability involved

limber lion
#

I ended up getting a single BF in p2 on our Sylv prog because I theorycrafted it and handed in solid proof of why it's the best for me instead of anyone else

fallen arch
#

'best class' isn't always best pick

fleet anchor
#

We actually ended up giving one to a Rogue on prog

#

Because Rogues can cloak the waves

#

And was more reliable

limber lion
#

Worked out well, did over 600 dps more than KSP on my first kill dance

fleet anchor
#

It's funny how my view of the two fights is so different. Sire was such a fun fight to optimize for, Sylv makes me SMH

#

Parsing on that fight pretty much seems miserable. I dunno if I'm ever going to try too hard to do it. Would require changing almost all my assignments, plus a lot of luck 😛

limber lion
#

Sylv wasn't too bad because it was very clearly separated to 3 phases.

#

Intermission/p2 downtime allows for cds to be back, so you can safely sync Vend/Vanish/Flag in p1 both times

#

P2 you use all cds on burns with BF, or alternatively on the first adds without BF

#

P3 you have to play around your fight length and kill time

#

I got multiple r1's from it, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

#

Progressing it was a major pain in the ass though

#

Having to do 9 minutes of p1/p2 before getting to p3 is just awful

fleet anchor
#

Also Sylv is crazy with the externals due to the length and nature of the fight. Like if you look at Sire, there's hardly any externals on the first page, for Sylv it's nuts

leaden pawn
#

What Crit % is recommended before switching to DS + Frost

limber lion
#

You should sim it, there is no magic number.

leaden pawn
#

Aight, waiting for my sim already, just thought i'd ask

fleet anchor
limber lion
#

It depends on a lot of things, it's not as simple as looking at crit and changing whenever you hit a certain number.

fleet anchor
#

😄

vestal wren
#

i think sylvanas is just design wise not great

#

but its not the worse fight in my opinion of the tier

flint pond
#

Fatescri- ResidentSleeper

vestal wren
#

fate is my candidate for the worse fight this tier

fallen arch
#

The Nine

vestal wren
#

whats wrong with nine?

fallen arch
#

Too easy

#

Even for a 3rd boss

fleet anchor
#

I mean for example if you are assigned to AoE side vs. ST side on second platform in the intermission, just a big DPS difference you have no real control over. And domination arrow pad is still a big part of a lot of high parses and that's just going to depend on your comp and strategy. A lot of factors. Getting chosen by the wrong arrow in P3 is just going to totally murder your P3 damage after 10 minutes of the fight. It's pretty feelsbad. lol

vestal wren
#

i think nine is fine as is

#

its a early fight in the tier, keep that in mind

slow marsh
#

I mean the priests in my guild are for sure lazy about PI

fallen arch
#

The step up from Nine to Remnant is not funny

slow marsh
#

Our main PI still goes to a destro lock

Its like, 3 meme bosses

And then Remnant

200

Then you’ll have ppl that prepare, learn the fight and not int all the way through

Us mortals have to wait for a pull in which the ideal set of players get hit by mechanics

I mean 120 on remant is alot no matter how you slice it

#

its not anywhere near average

Just looked it up, I was overly dramatic

80 still too many there I think
