pog
it will be sooner rather than later that's for sure
what happened to ur other
tired of waiting around
werent u on painsmith
We just had first weekend of KT last weekend
ah
probs kill it this week maybe. had really good prog for it being first night
how come u applyin to diff guilds :o
Been a long time coming but I've been dragging my feet about it
But mostly cuz schedule
Mine is just weekends don't work anymore now that social things are coming back
Wife kinda hates wow cuz we can't ever do anything on fri sat
Can Dashing scoundrel work for M+
Not well, no
Exactly lol
what should i use for M+
Zoldyck’s is a good selection, but if venthyr it’s recommended obedience for prio damage
So for like tyran weeks
Or even just top in general
ok and what about raiding ive notice every rogue is using Dashing scoundrel
Can doomblade compete with the venthyr lego
Thank you
Jesus Christ the top sin logs are just packed with externals
Of course they are
How much of a dps difference is there between assa and sub for M painsmith?
Realistically not much
Not that it matters anyway
Painsmith isnt a dps check anymore
If you get dps checked on painsmith you probably can’t kill the eye either

Lmao
I wanna try sin again but
My frost set is rank 3
Ive been playing it on heroics with blood tho
How hard u think id be memed if I go sin with blood set vs painsmith? Lmao @balmy condor
Idk if people would notice too much
How? We have a fire mage
Kk ty
without frost gems doomblade would still be better right? like the main thing to make dashing bis was the dom sockets wasn't it?
well dashing was close to doomblade before the gems iirc but definitely worse
Correct
Dashing was within margin for a lot of people
Frost just made it noticeably better
Necro doomblade hard carries tho
rip necrolord raiding 2022

So with losing shards and as a skeleton build, venthyr still remains strongest? (Cov lego+normal lego)
Skeleton build...?
💀
@balmy condor Hey Whispyr, I wanted to ask you if you guys used Ask Mr Robot's spell database thingy? I only found out recently they have a repository of spell and item interactions and formulas. Do you guys use that in sims etc?
Is there an alternative to where we can find spell and item formula's and the like?
Didn't know that.
Wowhead
All the tooltips in wowhead have their attack power % written in
okok. Ty.
Hi
Hi

Ptr news when
After thanksgiving
So no birthday present for me
Boo blizzard bad company doesn't give birthday ptr news
hi
nah nobody really knows yet
I am trying to decide
whether I can farm Mythic for the next 3 months. Or am I going to lose my mind.
I'm probably going to lose my mind.
can always take a break for a while if you need to man
Need to play outlaw to keep the fights fresh. 😄 Nightfae outlaw. Doesn't get more out there than that!
ok Gn everyone. Hope u all have a good day.
I dont know which zerocool you're talking about.
But the zerocool I know is an old man
XD If nightfae sin is real I'm gonna eat a shoe.
Is Frost set basically mandatory for zold lego sin in raid? Fairly new to rogue and haven't played sin at all yet so only have t5 blood atm
you want to run dashing in raid ideally
frost set is better for sin pretty much no matter what if you have some crit gear
I'm just going to be lacking haste really unless I upgrade all my haste gear as I'm primarily crit vers due to sub gearing
I'll start upgrading Frost next as it's universally better across the board maybe not so much sub but still good
It's just to keep raiding fresh more than anything
Can anyone recommend some good resources like guides, vods, streams for high lvl assa m+ (preferably not nf assa)?
Zerocool and there's no such thing called nf assa 🤓
Does he stream? Found it thanks
Im currently in the same Situation. How much lower does assa sim for you?
Got blood set on 5 and a lot of crit gear. Frost is only on 2 and a huge downgrade with dashing
Frost is normally equal or pulls ahead on tier 4
Yeah, thats what ive also seen in sims
Right now with blood sub is like 11.4k dps and assa around 10.6
Feels like a huge difference
Ye the dif is in the shard set rank
My sub sims around 11.6 and my sin sims at 11.2
But sub is more damage this tier so you have to take that into account as well
So can someone explain to my why exactly I should be pooling on my envenoms if I'm not having any issues getting full use of the increased poison crit window without pooling up to maybe 30-40 energy (depending on crits)
It seems like alacrity kinda carries you through low haste areas pretty well so long as you don't have long down times
#1 so you’re never starved when you need to reapply bleeds
#2 so you’re always pooled up for shiv/vendetta/flag windows
#3 so you’re not overwriting envenom buff and EP Willy nilly
generally no, like of course I pool a bit when it's getting close to time to slam rupture and garrote back on but I'm speaking really just in terms of outside of cd windows
Yes ofc i see that. So i think theres not point for me to swap to assa right now, sadly
Okay so #3 is what I needed to see
Sorry I have a smooth brain and just started rogue this tier
Ye tbh I wouldn’t esp if you’re comfortable with sub
Well that’s just how sin works
Even if they were equal
Spamming envenoms isn’t really good
Seems like mage and rogue have a lot more in common then I thought in terms of buff overlapping so I think I can figure it out
Just wasn't sure the reason behind heavy pooling as I haven't really been able to find much about it and it's hard to see that in logs too much
Generally that’s just how energy type classes work
Haven't really run the sims yet I was just curious
Yah this is my first energy class as lmaoo, coming from fire mage and DH
Well idk how DH building and spending works
A lot different but I can't see myself not playing rogue now and you could just using like a baking roller on your keyboard to play DH
Nahhhh, its not thattttt fast
BUT luckily I was pooling for burst windows and stuff already so I'll work on not overlapping
I last played DH in bfa
and corruption went brrr so it was pretty fast lol
One simply has to use demon’s bite and immolation aura, then use chaos strike, blade dance, and eyebeam
Yeah, its slower now, but still one of the faster apm specs
fun class though for sure
Ahh, bfa was the crazy days for dh
rip slappers
With the buff to their st, dh is still a very viable class in raids, and especially so in m+
I haven't played it in forever it seems like but it does slap lol
Not to mention seeing the hunt start casting while stunned in arenas can make you shit your pants
They can see through stealth iirc
Haven’t had that exact scenario pop up but don’t think it cancels
But, we could counter it by shadowstepping behind them and stunning them?
Lowkey think that dh damage is probably stonks next tier 
Yeah, they definitely scale really well with good gear
didn't they consistently bring 2 havocs to go in the Windfury group in RWF?
Oh right, i get to kill heroic sylv again tonight
Don’t forget to bring us rogues
And yeah, i think so?
Rogues with slicendice along with windfury makes our autoattacks terrifyingly fast
Ahhh, right, yeah
YEP
lol
unless tier set is shit I guess?
Maybe
But i doubt it will be, because if dh’s still use the burning wound and are stickin venthyr then they can combine that lego with it
Their st will become an absolute monster
but venth leggo + ca/dgb 
It’ll be absolutely ridiculous
wtb 9.2 ptr
lol, agreed
Yeah that’s more along the lines of my logic too
Ca?
And I think dbg is the eyebeam reset one right?
Now, i wonder what we’ll be able to pull off with obedience and doomblade/dashing
ca extends duration of sinful brand apparently
True
I feel that in m+ necro with their covenant lego will just fall behind obe and zoldyck m+
obe + zoldyck makes me happy
dunno if said yet but u can evasion the hunt
I tried using obe instead of zoldyck, and I was doing FAR more dmg than I did
Vanish should drop target completely still. Plus DHs can only see through stealth with spectral sight
Ahahahah, why am I not surprised
If they’re in combat they can’t spectral sight
Hmm, oxi’s got a point
Only people that can see through vanish are sin rogues if they have vendetta on you
Ahahahahaha
I really probably should pvp, but first, I’m terrible at it, and second, i can never get the stun right
If you know anyone who’s experienced in arena you can just let them call for your stuns/blind
Esp if they’re a mage
LOL, my brother’s a mage, or rather, is releveling one
Because we’re just CC bots for mages in rogue-mage comps
I like rps a lot but you’re kinda throwing if you’re not playing with a mage tbh
Which kind of mage, fire or frost?
When I sim, my unholy bonus is still being chosen over frost. About how much crit should I have for frost to pull ahead at equal gem levels or is it purely a sim thing?
Fire usually
Are they both rank 5?
Rank 4. Had a take a month off so I've only been back for about 2 weeks
Unholy will beat frost until you get to R4 at least iirc (assuming both are at least equal)
Circa 40% but it can be less - it depends on a multitude of things including covenant and even just the rest of your gear.
It’s going to be a sim yourself thing though
Yea it’s also tied to how much crit you have and how good your gear is
Thanks guys. I'll keep at it now that I know about where that finish line is

Welcome back and if you got any questions the homies are here for you 
I have no idea what happened last tuesday
👍
But I pumped way more than I usually do
Ofc, roh kalo and kt always screw me over, since i be a dedicated down groupie
And roh kalo has made a habit of picking me everytime
If you actually want a parse you need to let your raid leader call a replacement for you no matter what
Ahahahaha
Thing is, while I do care about dpsing, rings are far more important
Since I’m one of the only ones who can safely do the middle ring without too much fear of dying
whats it like
to care abou whats important
anyone with a freedom from a pally can just walk into half the balls and eat them
unless you dont have a pally
I was using it on tuesday so
They’ve already tried, it doesn’t consume them or somethin
it 100% does
Weird
Normally we just freedom -> cloak since its me or our other rogue on inside ring 90% of the time
(if its our warrior, godspeed)
Might have been bugged or something, who knows, but it did work tuesday night
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/D1XakfxbKnBA9mg2/#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=15 can anyone look at my wrongs and tell me please
It worked on our prog kill but that was over a month ago now
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/LD3FZ7GT18kmVa4N/#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=13 and this one too please
shivs sus
Log reviewing purple parses are weird because you clearly understand what to do.
Big couple of things:
You technically missed a cast of vendetta + vanish, this is more flushed out on the eye than the nine as the nine is a small loss. Just be sure to fit them in on CD when possible.
You’re missing some shivs, and this is the biggest issue I see.
Also your garroting at max CP, stop that. Two wasted both fights on that.
Other than that

rogue damage also just doesnt look as good on heroic eye as mythic eye because you arent getting full value out of dots on the adds and your cooldowns arent lining up
You come out of the first intermission and still have a lot of time on vendetta
Any assa mythic+ streamers I can watch?
thank you was my second time
Asked the same thing earlier:
https://m.twitch.tv/zerocoolx/about
What's people's opinions on m+ anima powers for assasination btw? Worth going for bolstering on explosive/tormented weeks?
Yeah explosives synergizes well with bolstering
Always dagger, axe if your group ST kinda doo doo on tyran weeks, bolster on explosives weeks or boss fights with adds spawning (last boss mists, 2nd boss halls, etc) otherwise brand is fine
Unfortunately none of the fire dude’s powers are really “wow must haves” ya know?
Axe very pog on tyran necrotic wake as your bleeds proc it too. So you’ll be downstairs hail marying axes to the boss
Pretty nice
Funniest interaction ever lmao
I'll give it a try 😄 Slowly getting to a point where it's hard to keep up. On fortified weeks especially
!oil
Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ
Practice makes perfect :')
And perfect takes practice. 😂
do u even need dots for axe to proc?
gratz @gusty mirage 
Next kill I get dagger and mount 
Don’t they proc off of damage?
I’m usually a Necrolord gamer so I always am damaging 
next kill 
question what soul bind better for raiding nadjia or mad duke got some mix reviews
Sim it but at higher gear levels it pulls ahead
Also worth swimming obedience with mfd if you have a decent amount of haste
Read 5 messages above you :)

Next kill for sure 
you will kill again 
someone get this man more copium
Why wouldn’t I
Because you’re logging for the tier 
Nah fam we grind it out
Go for bis gear
Going to start pushin’ hard IO as sin to make @marble hemlock proud
Spite pushing?
I broke the meta in the silver bracket sir

already proud of you, king
Ye but sub 19min 15sd on tyran is kinda huge

Yeah I think the best we’ve done is a 23 minute 17
So cutting 4+ off of 2 levels is pretty 
Plus 3 sin rogues across the entire brackets 
Yes man
Did almost 3k hps on mythic grue last night because no one soaked
Top damage take.
Useless shard
What's your IO goal
14
Nice, huge numbers
Or be like me and Obe/MfD sims higher and then you get like an upgrade and now DS/MfD sims higher
That's life my guy

on haste tea i think i dont reroll right?
Correct
Main one we want is crit but haste is a good 2nd
The great push sign up rn 
Already signed up 
Signing up this weekend king 
Gotta figure out if we’re using lunatic tank or normal tank rn
isn't it just time like 2 15s to get a banner? crap I'll find 4 randos and knock that out
Yeah that’s it
Random question, which Warrior spec is looking better atm?
Raid or keys?
umm I think both
Overall probably arms
It’s killer in raid and has really good cleave and decent aoe
Fury aoe is pretty disgusting overall
idk, i'm leveling a warrior and I've only played Fury I don't care if Arms beats it. I farmed Antorus for a good while to get the Red Scythe and by god I'm going to use both in my xmog
Kinda have a neglected BElf Warrior sitting on my Horde server, feel bad
yeah because fury you just WW, ST ability, ST ability, WW repeat for that cleave
I mean fury is by no means bad either they’re both completely viable
yep. i have a buddy that plays fury and he does pretty well with it in raid because he wants to play fury. Just because a spec CAN do insane damage, doesn't mean the PLAYER can make it happen.
Double red scythes Pog
I can also go Double Blue or one of each. If I had a green one I could play Red Light Green Light
what i kinda don't like is the fact that any 1H can be xmogged to another 1H and 2H stuff can become polearms and staves, but a dagger is always dagger. Like come on
Yep
It's most jarring on classes with Artifact weapons, because a Mage or Priest can turn a 1H/OH combo into a staff this way.
that i was unaware of
77% uptime on garrote hmm
I mean I can swap sin and sign up for it I'm swapping anyway
It's a bit complicated. Priest & Mage each have two staves as Artifact weapons, so no matter what they have equipped they can mog it into one of those Artifact Staff appearances. Mage has a Sword/OH combo and Priest has a Dagger/OH combo, and those Artifact appearances can only be used if you're using the same pieces, since Mages can't mog a sword into anything else and a Priest can't mog a dagger into a mace
do i always hold flag for vendetta? playing ds. I feel like im not getting enough stacks. on sub im always on 28-30 on sin 24-26
Pretty sure thats normal because sub has shadowblades
Your cp output is just higher
If you get super juice rng you can get on the higher end for sin
but if you get a 3 pt mutilate what are you gonna do
but im parsing 90+ on necro sin and way lower on venth. i guess im fucking up flag
you only hold if you won't miss a cast
also why are you playing DS?
the fight also matters so something to consider. like it's easier to parse higher on eye with necro then venthyr imo
unless you mean dashing
I mean dashing yes 😂
No vigor
w/ venthyr mfd is more damage
thats a big part of it then
it'll get your first flag up to 28-30 stacks
You play obedience with mfd? Or stay with dashing
either or
MFD with dashing, or obedience, but most people play dashing still I think
I'd sim to make sure because for some people vigor & dashing still sims higher
but w/ enough gear it ends up beating vigor for dashing too
or on fights where you are focused on burst windows vs consistent dps
opener slows down a bit, but you make up for it w/ better flag windows
@gusty mirage whats your preferred opener for running mfd? it feels slow enough that I could almost refresh garrote before going all in on my burst cds
just so I dont have to mid vendetta
I just full send CDs as soon as I can, I go mut > snd > mut > garrote > arcane torrent > flag > rupture > vendetta
I mean you can vendetta before the flag, moving those around is like super minimal
it's mostly just a system in my brain and anytime I try changing things up my brain melts down

but I find vendetta before flag leads to energy capping during that GCD
if lust on pull
I was casting flag after vanish with full CP then evenoming out of stealth
you want to mutilate out of vanish to maximize MA window for CP generation more-so than the envenom crit
so basically get to 3 CP Vendetta, Shiv, Flag, Vanish, Envenom from stealth
was what I was doing
Yeah ill flip that around
I feel like the envenom from stealth thing was a mental holdover I had from last expac maybe
Mut > SnD >mut> garrote > flag> vendetta > rupture > vanish > shiv > Mut > envenom
Mut envenom until you’re at that like 22-24 stack mark which is usually around 2 seconds left of flag then MFD envenom for last stacks
The difference between Obe and Dashing for me is minimal. It comes down to do you wanna do more melee on the boss or want winds to hit harder?
also extra vers and cdr
Full disclosure I have read a couple guides on rotations and what to do but correct me if I'm wrong are empowered bleeds like rupture and garrote affected by vendetta or am I an idiot and I suggest always refresh right before it expires
Not sure how to empower a Rupture, but Garrote w/ subterfuge you don't wanna overwrite unless you are vanishing and reapplying. Correct me if I'm wrong.
They do more damage while vendetta is up. But like, it doesn’t snapshot to vendetta. So if you refresh it doesn’t stay and give the extra 30% damage for the entire duration. Just until vendetta ends
^ in the open for ST, garrote will come off unless you refresh it because of its timer. Rupture though at 4-5 you should be able to focus all of your vendetta into muts and envenoms before you need to refresh rupture.
How do you sim different theotar rolls against each other? I know I see it in here every day but now I need it 🤣
I got Agility and want to know if I should keep it or roll again
crit/haste, yeah?
just assume crit/haste are good unless youve simmed it
How is sin this week in m+ with spiteful not being able to restealth as much
You gotta get good timings or have a nice tank who doesnt chain pull :)
just fine, its ok to not get a crazy amount of restealths
its a smaller dps loss than you would think
Ok
Not to echo what was talked about earlier, but just go to https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/advanced and paste this at the bottom:
profileset."primary"+="shadowlands.party_favor_type=primary"
profileset."versatility"+="shadowlands.party_favor_type=versatility"
profileset."crit"+="shadowlands.party_favor_type=crit"
profileset."haste"+="shadowlands.party_favor_type=haste"
think thats the tea thing. least what i was told
you need to put in your simc string first though
Also for constant reference it’s in the sub faq
if you want to see whats better than nadjia i would sim that too
it's shiv > vanish > mut > env > mfd > env
but see i shiv, mut to 4-5 then vanish > envenom > mut > envenom > mfd > envenom
small changes wont make a big dps difference, but oxi is giving you the recommended opener
That's what I do as well except I Vanish immediately after tye Shiv
i try to do it. hard to retrian my brain on that
i mean its really do you want two envenoms to benefit from MA or two Muts
I'm a 2 envenom gamer
ugh i wouldn't even try to make my brain work that hard
just play how you want
Muti is definitely the better choice between the two
Envenom is a boring ass finisher
More CP from Muti = more Envenoms
see, better


hey.. uhm .. how should i play myth KT ? hold vend and flag for the add on the platform? but all on pull?
It really depends how much damage you need and where
If you need damage downstairs, feel free to hold for those phases (between phases you can sometimes slam a flag, but hold Vend)
alright.. ill try for the first pull.. i guess, safer variant is to just hold vend for the phase?
Really depends on how much dps you have there already. I didn't use cds because we had boomies and others already blasting it
Sure
a bit overkill imo
pushing boss damage is also kinda important
I try to always remember to vanish after shiv, but my finger is trained to go to mut
So feel free to slam after the secons remnant
If you play obedience and use cds on pull, flag will be up for intermission
Train out of it
dashing
:')
Not really
I mean at least not for us xD
always like 15 seconds off
in aoe with no prio target should i stop using shiv?
It still increases your poison dam so still use it on CD
ok ty
any finger collectors in the chat
Man could set up a shop
All the rings except the one you want. 
our windfury boi had to hold a lockout on his shaman so no windfury this entire reclear
feels v bad
Couldve just had any alt hold it, no?
Yeah, all they have to do is get tied to the ID # by stepping inside of the instance.
imagine even having a windfury
So you could've even had a 145 rat alt hold it. RIP
sorry i mispoke. he held it on an alt, but has to go resto this reclear because of roster stuff
same result lol
no windfury
he has the only one he needs though
and he has the bis setup anyways wym memer
I see a 246 Arachnid.
Yeah, they're about the same, I think blood has a bit more crit.
yeah it does
you're right though arachnid would be ideal but i believe it's within 10 dps or something
mostly just depends on what neck / belt setup he has
gonna be fun when next tier our crit stacking shenanigans swings back to haste
i'm actually itching for some ptr news unlike ever before tho
All we're getting right now is more of the same pitchfork mob going after evil Bobby
Yeah ofc
Gonna be the next week probs
I mean
the week after
you know what i mean
We need 200% haste
We can probs get it with iqd next tier
So I can play exsanguinate
nanannananannananan chill
Not enough
Then how much was it
126% is the maximum you can get
But I am excited for EP/ DS gang to rise next tier
and that's not enough to make Exsang good
You also need borrowed power like Shrouded Suffocation or something
With the current systems and Exsang numbers, we will never ever play the talent
Even with 3235478905782439524679854293786543269785489766798% of haste

With as much as people talk about SS i'm starting to believe it's possible they add it as a tier bonus

I hope to god they add a bleed interaction
Dont trust the cope
Its gonna be some random thing
I'm leaning lazy bonuses over creative
Either brand new or some lame damage increase
Wdym
2 piece = Garrote gives 3 cp
4 piece = Garrotes used from stealth deal 400% more damage
Theres no way its an old "creative" power
A bleed interaction on the class set
something
to do with bleeds
Garrote gives 3cp 0.o
That's how Shrouded Suffocation works lol..
then our ER dreams will surely be dead
Oh I wasn't playing then so idk how it works
shrouded suffocation is BACK
Nobody has that dream
Can't wait.
I would love to be able to play Kyrian on sin
god that'd be so good
I wouldnt :)
Probably gonna be some boring ass passive ass garbage ass boring ass shit
Kyrian is fun
And we would have to go rc next patch
Stop
Same


RC wouldn't be terrible though
I wouldn’t mind shrouded as a bonus
rc?
Not as good as dust obed gang ™
"When mutilate applies lethal poison with both daggers, it poisons the target for an additional x damage"
inc
Kyrian leggo cev
No
double dose puke
all my homies hate double dose
Resounding clarity 
they already turned all the other ideas into legendaries

Idk I like the idea of slamming 7cp envenoms in shiv window but yeah i'm with you guys i'd rather make a move more towards bleeds over the poison stuff
all we got left is scent of blood, shrouded suff, double dose, and I think ttk?
quite a bit more actually
echo is pretty big
Guys
oh true
No fucking idea how that would be a set bonus
I think katar is their shitty attempt at replacing echoing
Blood of the Enemy felt great to press
Guys I have an idea
Especially after grinding that shit for fucking hours upon hours
Just give us BFA sin back
Exact same
Yo oxi I am talking to someone on a52 later to join their guild maybe
Yes man
soon we will have triple rogue keys
if we can skip out on the exsanguinate garbage
soon ™
I'm okay with that
exsang was and is legit the best ability assassination have
Actually high key busted
I didn't and I hate it
I hated exsang at the time but I was infinitely worse
that actually changes our rotation
I would love it if it affected all bleeds though
I think now
Aoe exsang would be so fun
I’d love that shit
ala veinripper anima power
that's partly why I hated it 🙂
Exsang is legit fucking goated
I'm a creature of habit
I mean you can keep your dogshit alacrity if you want
I'll gladly take Exsang and play with it
Oxi boomer oxi boomer
and minmax shit with it
than have some passive ass boring ass garbage ass shit again
they'd have to really really buff exsang to make it compete with alacrity
I don't prefer alac and I do prefer playing inside of windows so I should like exsang
Lines up weird
But the rebellious anti-mainstream part of me doesn't like exsang
flag wont be 90s in 9.2
I've heard a lot of people complain about Exsang who never even played it properly
and just shit on it
I mean I despise MFD
but I still play it
Im not complaining
so here we are 
Ive never played it
it's legit the best thing we have in the game
false EP is
It sounds like it would be cool as an option
EP literal best talent
With adjustments to either us or borrowed power
I mostly just hated exsang because it changed the rotation up and I was m+ monkey who stacked severe and strikethroughs
- It alters our rotation
- It forces us to track timers differently and think about timers differently
- Allows for insane energy regen in single target and aoe situations
M+ monkey 
I mean
exsang was not great
unless you have 9x Expedient III
no point to ever play it
ye
and thus, no point to shit on it either
okay I played Exsang with 2x expedient
stfu
no
nah I'll still hate it
What’s trust
Oxi just hates anything that's different
That
I never said it was bad
He hates theo for literally no reason
I also hate money, weed, food and water
Its really sad we can go an entire expac without seeing a few talents and nothing happens
okay buddy
Mr. Resounding Clarity over here
I hate Theo
I feel like it's dumb to hate on something that you've never actually played with
For no reason
Venom rush 
but idk
Dude the shadow priest article on wowhead is so funny
I played with full exped & I hated it.
Hes complaining that searing nightmare ruins their aoe rotation when it literally is their aoe rotation
Wtf is exped
??????
Carapace daggers were not expedient daggers to start with
But spriest aoe is like sub rogue
I know people who loved expedient stacking exsang and tbh I support them fully
so you didn't play full expedient
hey coming back from a break and i dont mean to bother anyone, but do we have a pin somewhere for bis sin cov/conduit/leggo for 9.15
how does you having carapace daggers have to do with anything?
any gushing wounds enjoyers pre-vendor nerf? 
Because they were BIS for sin because of the stats they gave, like even while being goated geared.
I also hated the awful severe + strikethrough echoing blades spam in m+
I had 2 and then they announced vendor and insta nerf
even with 2x carapace daggers
Oh lord.
The only wow boomer rogue stuff I can talk about is Deathbringer's will
my guy
that's not true
arguments about that almost killed my guild
I just want SS back.

3 CP per garrote.
I mean it is

But it also helps that they had higher ilvl
yeah worse than who gets glaives tbh
Yeah.
I mean lets be real
if the set bonus makes exsang playable
we'll all switch whether we like it or not
mfd says hi
Well
Did you use Plumage or did you use that other trinket, Cev?
GALECALLERS BOON
You seem like a boon kinda dude.
Shit, you’re right
I had bis gear, so Plumage

I have always wanted to use exsang tbh
I like it better than vigor but yeah the fact that so many people still play vigor just cuz is exactly my point
even if exsang is viable people still wont play it
they will if its the better choice
wut
theo has been the better choice for so long
that's a dumb thing to say
and people still play nadjia
lets be real alacrity is boring as fuck
i'm not saying everyone will not play it
nadjia isn't that far behind theo though
obvi us gamers will play it
where it'll actually matter
people doesn't mean all
but the fact of the matter is that Theo is not exactly better in every scenario either
just because it sims better in 5min patchwork
ya'll too focused on patchwork simmies
nadjia is actually prioritized higher in 5min sim than theo
Fights with Adds too...
theo has value in aoe, downtime,
I mean so does nadjia, crit has massive value in aoe
lol
an encounter where you get thrill seeker during cooldowns
is much better than a theo umbrella maybe procing
yeah true as long as your 10 second crit window pops with adds up
^
Thrill seeker bugged out in one of my sylv pulls btw
and procced on pull
for me w/ lust
and pot
pog
an encounter where you don't get Thrill Seeker because of intermission
is a fight that's dog for Nadja
of course
I mean umbrella during painsmith at all
how often are you stationary outside of p3 burn
Kinda often, actually.
yeah but who cares when you have token during painsmith
we must've done a dif fight
Theo is just a better soulbind
I knew I missed a step 
forgot to pray to the GUID gods
there's a clip of my dumb ass back peddling off the platform on painsmith prog floating around
I mean yeah the top parses are going to be nadjia probably just because thrill and FF are super strong. Not arguing that at all
I'm arguing that theo consistency + defensive value is better for most situations
I mean
a 2k absorb isn't really shit in a mythic raiding environment
plus I'd argue that the absorb from nadjia for healthstones + health pots is more valuable than a random 2k shield on someone
Again, they just have different niches
The defensives are shit
One is an rng proc that gives you some damage
One is a calculated proc that gives you a lot of damage
Yeah.
sometimes the calculated proc happens during an awful time where you don't get any value
thus the other choice becomes the better choice
but sometimes you have a lot of movement where the value of the shade drops
and Nadja gains value
just 2 different things
and you can honestly use either
and do completely fine
I wouldn't say one is better than the other
Was just gonna post 100 heal parses on prog wipes but yeah no need
or more consistent than the other
true shield on healthstone is better than token most of the times
but ye tbh I'd be wary about saying one thing is better than the other straight up
sometimes we forget that the patchwerk sims are isolated boss events w/ no mechanics or intermissions or whatever
I'm going back & forth on Nadjia & Theo for Sylvanas.
I've had so many mixed results.
Go look at some pulls between the two and see how the Thrill Seeker timers line up with cds
then make your decision
Na I still stand by it but it's not better enough to fight over. Nadjia can be good if you can manage to get value from the procs
I would use Nadja myself on Sylvanas
because with my timers I got it in p3 with all of my cds
which is the most important part of the fight
Were you able to touch chains at all?
in p1?
Yeah.
Sure, the second and third set slightly
but mainly just sticking to boss
she flies away during second chains, third chains happen during dps stop
do you send your 2nd vendetta into 3rd veil i assume
that's what i've started doing as default at this point
hold it before the veil, send after she lands
then it's dps stop?
depends on timers, if you blast the boss that might cause you to miss out on bl value
so play accordingly
huh?
huh

yeah
Flag slightly earlier to get value from the adds
im worried i won't have it up for BL in p3 though
- haste afterwards on top of Vend
because i'm using on both boss burns in p2
plat 4
i assume after veil
just send Vend on CD, holding last one for lust
after veil yeh
both times
flag on cd
we keep wiping at 62-67% now
sync second to last vend/flag and last vend/flag
nearly 400 pulls
sheesh
yep
im actually kinda nervous about doing this
that ill fuck up my timers
Not much chance doing that
they should line up pretty well automatically if you send vend/flag on both burns
and keep using on cd
and syncing the last 2
it's like:
flag - vend - flag - vend/flag - vend/flag
yas
idk if i can swing that
wut
typically
idk why but
you send it on cd
9:42 platform 2 11:42 Platform 3 and halfway through lust platform 4
kk
Basically after the first wail veil combo plat 2
Same with platform 3 after wail veil combo
How to convince guild to find a kyrian resto and also have him give me KA over the nf mage
(who is also the GM)
Deal more dam than them.
send them a big enough cheque I suppose
better start farming herbs/fish/meat/gold
We don't farm for gbank we just do sales and buy it all
We sell 4 buyers first 8, 2 mounts every week
I'm usually top damage (or top relevant damage on fights like sylv and kt), but we're all relatively equal parse wise
I get like 350k a week from our cuts?
why don't you just share it with everyone
But I also don't get the mount till next tier and it's impossible to parse some fights
everyone gets 1 whole raid with kyrian druid buff
We don't have a kyrian druid xD
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
not with that attitude
And our PI goes on our demo lock who is basically rank 1 on every single fight
:')
Our demo lock is a fucking chad
Nearly all 100s, doesn't use weakauras
Tbf to him, all the other demos are getting 2+ PIs
so
Demo rankings are hilarious
he should find a way to get 2 pi's too
You ever get 30+ Externals & still don't R1?


I had like all top 50s before 9.1.5 (never had edge) but it's hard as fuck now with all the speed kills and external spam
That would be very, very unfortunate.
Couldn't be me tho.
you'd have to afk
What a chad
I think the logs should just show natty (Natural damage) logs without externals.
Blizzard seems to actively want to diminish logs
externals should 100% be removed from the regular parses
