bruh
i still have a couple alts sitting there
The people who scope out like TLProto back in the day
i mean i could probably get CE if i wanted to, just real life and school and personal stuff gets in the way

Yea that’s part of the challenge is time
which adds to the factor to CE
last tier i thought i wouldnt have time for a guild but here i am ce
mhm
both my ally guild and horde guild downed M rem and started progging on soulrender
so half way there
sure you are 
grats whispyr :)
HYPERS
best?
the issue is, they moved raid day from sat sun morning to friday night and sat morning
56% platform 4 boutta lust+pot+double venth boomkin ass blast
which isnt..ideal for me, friday night
my friend a guild that is progging soulrender in november isnt getting ce
i mean clearly lol
im talking about rl factors that effect prog

shit happens whispyr
we wouldve killed a day earlier but our warlock stood in the group with death knives
we have no intentions on aiming for CE with 9.2 next year
4th at 56% without lust, without pots, and with the entire raid's cooldowns coming up?
I think we can burn 10% in 45 seconds
its enough its just not a free kill

do you raid wednesday
we're tues/thurs
idk if we do it this week
you got it whisper
but we might next week since we get skip
thats def a sure kill
I just checked on our 1st kill we went p4 55.5% she died 1s into raze cast

yeah
I mean the dps "check" on her starts in p2
its just not a hard one :p
doesnt start on platform 4 lol
we had 45.1 wipe once
we had 44.6% wipe

sometimes she just doesnt wanna die
funny thing is it wasnt even the spell queing because she was that low before raze
we just fucked up arrows
if I do less than 10k dps @strange python will wake me up in my sleep and spit on me
doubt you have gear to do 10k
sub rogues
except that push looked at my logs and found out that I'm actually bad
cause I play PV but I don't PLAY pv
ya know
do you have to sync your backstab with something
you have to backstab after every dance
you always do that don't you?
no
ok
im just hoping we actually get a rekill in tomorrow
He died on second platform
LOL
You can see the active time
We had that happen to ours, something something burning rush eating 200k wave damage...same time...same place for 10+ pulls...

But that ain't none of my business...
burning rush instead of dark pact? 
Oh, I thought you meant like p2
Depending on what happens with the tier set I won’t play it next patch either

it’s a bit aggressive

@balmy condor i loved how you randomly shit on half the rogue talents in a routine dps thread a few weeks back

This was the prompt I got
And I was like uhhhhhhh
9.1.5 didn’t impact it
At all
0 changes
What do
was this for the weekly wcl post?
And he’s like “idk talk about things”
yeah it was a banger
So I just wrote a paragraph shitting on talents
theyre pretty good about letting you write whatever you want
yeah there was just very heated discussion at the start of the tier about it
😦
ret is sick
wowhead 
Bolas is the ret writer
at least ret has a real tier set next tier
I mean the sin thing, with the guy messaging you
yeah it looks really fun to me
Just you wait 
i might play some ret as an alt
Oh yeah that’s wowhead
Anshlun is guide writer manager person
yeah I could see it getting hit a bit
Every % loss of the ret tier gets injected directly into sin tier
I’m making a warlock
Conservation of energy
Spam report spam report
Cannot create or destroy dps
ret still has a cool one even if its nerfed a little right?
idk if theres enough there for 2 decent sets tho...
resetting wake sounds fun
We steal from mages
And shamans
yeah fuck fire
rsham 
all my homies hate ranged players
All my homies hate FoTM
as a ret paladin main, i am super excited for new tier set lol
Mage legit fotm for 4 expacs
shoving a second wake of ashes into our 1 min burst is gonna be super fun
Tricks of the trade all mages and boomkin a
arcane intellect, alter time, ice block
Nah they’re ok in my book
warlock and mage are the raid hero classes
You only want 1 in your raid
how is warlock ok
you definitely stack 2 demo if you have it
wheelchairing himself :/
Yep
Wait that’s ret
grip is cool on soulrender
He’s better at dk tho
I thought we moved passed that
ret is indeed
We’re trialing another rogue
a wheelchair with boosters
cause if you aint running horse conduit and talent, then your just crippling yourself
just play night fae ret
might be a thing next patch
fully indulge in the rng, nf lego, final verdict, summer yourself final reck, destroy
i think rextroy did it already but with frogs for extra cheese
lost me at summer yourself, that's a boomkin cd
I wonder how many boomkins will actually be made to play kyrian
0
The externals giveth and the externals taketh away
just have bear instead
i hope they all do
Kyrian for fire mage
or casual guilds play rdruid i guess
I mean for sure there will be at least a tank or healer
i kinda doubt we see rdruid
you bless yourself, nf lego doubles it so you have a 80% to do 60% additional damage as holy. final reck increases holy damage by 150% stack like 40% mastery, serap to push you to 50+% mastery, wings. wing the lottery
But tbh idk if I see venth boomie in the race
That kindred is dogshit on sub
Lmfao
I will scream about it on every wowhead article until it gets buffed
its a given alot of tier sets are ognna get buffed and balanced
Mage tower guide boutta have a section on buffing tier set
its the first ptr build

Does blizzard read wowhead
kojis dms
We just need someone from the community to get into the new feedback group
The feedback thing is bait most likely
foreverguy 
Don’t think they’ll actually make changes because of what mr 300 mount andy says in a thread
maybe not
but at least we know they saw what 300 mount andy said
yeah but
i hope you or guy get a spot
and/ or
i dont
Except boomkin
i just hope each discord gets at least a rep or 2
Because they will cry until they’re bis again
I know
haha
Kinda fucked if u ask me
Man looks at venth boomkin this tier and unironically says that being so cooldown reliant is a big downside

The fact that some classes get more attention than others
Is the biggest downside of playing this game IMO
hot hands, the class
as an arms reroller this tier i appreciate my enh shaman
GM asked if I would
the most important role in the raid
arms is so good this tier
Do you have another warrior?
our arms had his armor break on kill
Banger
Our arms was clicking his health stones and pots
And most of the time not using at all
¯_(ツ)_/¯
truly the chad class
Wonder how hard it’s gonna be to get tier to drop
Since in the interview they stated that the catch up system would come in later on in the tier
Looks like we’re gonna have to rely on solely personal loot for the tier pieces
These are the only ones I click too 😂
Just to save myself from fat fingering consumables
To be fair, you are gonna be able to grind m+ for them no?
If I get benched again because of RNG I’m gonna be pissed
Or is that vault only?
That’s later in the tier
they would bench you because you didnt get tier?????
From what was stated in the interview
its probably a month in or before tbh
The last guild before this one would yes
What interview we talking about?
its not like ur top 20
I failed my trial because no dom shards
so cringe
And that guild is 4/10 rn
you should be glad you failed
I left
I am
Now I’m in a 9/10
But Sylvanas needs to die
After 400 pulls I’m over it, was over it after 200
finish strong
Also that’s cringe. Glad to see their demise. Just that petty. 💅
We’re doing 1 day this week, a farm day
finish strong next week
With like 3-4 trials
My guild just killed so looks like I joined at just the right time
Sad I don't get to prog sylv but I feel like I've watched enough rogue pov that I don't really care
Yeah idk
After such a long prog I want that sense of achievement
And to kill it with the homies
Just gets frustrating
sylv is kinda sad as a rogue you really have no control over anything dying and also p3 will wipe anyway even if you do good damage
doesnt help people clipping veils or missing soaks
or daggering the whole raid
How does this differ from other classes in p3?
boomkin can ramp and can heal and soak dhs can ignore veils same as warlocks and mages
warriors can also ignore veil priests can mass dispel
let me think about more
ignore value?
you jump off veil hits you in the air
then come back
as dh you just double jump then glide
I know dh can do that, but there really isn't any reason to tbh
Warrior?
Warlocks?
Mages?
You want them to jump off mid veil and port back?
THD did it
Jump off and step back
if you feel bloodthirsty
guys, could anyone spare a minute and tell me the exact rotation for AOE in m+ please ?
There really isn't a rotation, you have to play accordingly
- Keep SnD up at all times with Envenom
- Keep CT's dot up as much as possible, don't spam it
- Garrote on cooldown
- Rupture everything
- Envenom whem mobs are dying instead of applying new bleeds
got it.. one more thing, once a mob is pulled, i garrote 4 targets and then do i SnD or CT ?
You use SnD once in the very first pack of the dungeon
Then you always maintain it with Envenoms
And by having leftover CP from a previous pack
So you use SnD before yoy open up on a new pack
I snd right after i garotte 4 targets ?
or it doesnt matter when
Yes only on the first pack
Then you never let it drop
yeah i know i have to snd on the first pack but where do i Snd through the rotation?
after i garrote or after CT ?
You mean garrets
1 Garret 2 Garret 3 garrets
garrote bale
Any theory crafting ideas for 9.2 for Assa set bonus and legendary combos? Trying to figure out what legendaries to use to make good use of the set bonus. I think the mutilate leggo is a good idea but besides that I can't think of which other leggo to use
Maybe "Duskwalker's Patch" would come to good use because our bleeds will tick faster and we can spend more energy
maybe Zoldyck could be used as a good execute
Those are the ideas
Doomblade/dashing and if the 4 piece is strong, maybe Duskwalker
anyone knows what cd is on vandetta with duskwalker?
Around one minute
It might differ very slightly depending on your profile, ie. talents and gear
More energy regen = more cd reduction
ye just thinking if flagilation will line up with vandeta with that legi combo would proly be good with tier set
Yeah that's the common consensus
1 min cd spec is also pog for most raid bosses
Sure but Duskwalker's lose slight value if you introduce stuff like movement and downtime on a boss
And gains value with more targets
So it's a bit of a wild legendary
Kind of yeah but not quite
Because Flag remains on the target for 12s
But Duskwalkers requires constant uptime
It's not tied to a period of time where you reduce the cd
But rather you reduce it all the time
Wow I never considered the multi target applications
ye the cd part is in the window i get that
During intermission you might lose your bleeds on your targets, which means you gain a lot less energy, which means you can spend a lot less energy which means you reduce the cd a lot less
On multiple targets you can have energy saturation, meaning you are gcd-capped and thus get to spend energy a lot faster and thus reducing the cd a lot more
But yeah, I can definitely see Duskwalker's becoming meta
But it might not be the choice for every single boss.
Vigor also gains value from Duskwalkers because it's a flat 10% energy regen increase
So that's good news, because all my homies love Vigor
Same
Used to despise MfD, but it's quite fun especially on cleave
Not the biggest fan of it in heavy AoE
Agree
i wanna see how much damage u get from 4 set doe the extra energy from dashing might be a huge dps boost aswell
I like min maxing it a bit on Sylvanas prog but that’s practically all I’ve used it on 
Yeah, it's not looking too too great honestly
I have a feeling doomblade would be better than dashing
But you know
obv depending on crit stack or haste stack i guess
Especially on cleave
the energy regen portion of Dashing doesn't matter whatsoever
Because Duskwalker's is the portion that is tied to energy
if you take Dashing, you can't have Duskies
Can't have em both
zoldyck for execute fights might be huge aswell
with 4 set
damn so many interresting options
gotta see some sims doe
I highly doubt we'll see Zoldyck in raid
It is one of the worst legendaries we have unfortunately
What about obedience and duskwalkers with the 4 set? Would make flag and vendetta line up quite well
You can read the discussion we just had around that combo here
Thanks!
Just accidentally simmed myself without the frost set
9.6k dps without
11.6k with
literally 2k from the set
yikers boys, 9.2 is looking rough
yea its gonna be 1.8k diffence holy shit not so bad
Sure, but it's still a massive difference
it is for all classes doe
It's not though
i can do sim on warlock and arcane mage real quick
Some benefit more from it than others
And the thing is that many classes are also getting insane double legendary combos and/or tiersets
We don't really get either
our raw dps will be higher but proportionally theres a chance we look worse

"actually good"
look at arcane mage kyrian lego
that doesnt seem true, but we need to see ptr before coming to any conclusions
wat
Sure do
but that doesnt mean we end up being stronger
But let's not pretend we don't have a Deathspike on our hands as Necros
because they all currently look like they have better tier sets
Deathspike is equally as bad as Harmonic Echo for Arcane
ptr isnt even live yet everything is still hypothetical
deathspike is the same as harmonic echo but kyrian arcane is like a spec for itself its nothing like other covenants completely different playstyle
=dead
either kyrian goes a different covenant, or the legendary will only matter in multi target
its that simple
Friendly reminder that flag didn’t even work until the week before launch and it was a pile of shit in launch
friendly reminder that flag didnt work until 9.0.5

friendly reminder than flag didn't exist until 9.0.5
:')
i didnt play beta
Listen here night fae boy
i started during prepatch
I was gladly wasting 2 GCDs while y’all were zooming around as a fox
Gonna be pumpin next patch
It’s okay 10.0 for sure 
man oxi we really are the same

venthyr till the day i die
oh and i picked it for narrative reasons

Don’t talk to me traitor
Sure is if you play Duskwalkers
oxi wants the tier set to be godlike now
Vigor means more energy regen, which means more energy, which means more energy to spend, which means more cd reduction from duskies
What am I going to play? Dusk/toxic onslaught? 
Obe/Dusk
i see us throwing a lot of knives during downtimes if there are adds or something
i.... can't....overcap....
It really depends which one needs the cdr more as we'll be syncing them together every time
If those 3 extra seconds from MFD matter or not
Syncing dusk/obe is actually going to be miserable
Yuup, but downtime is also a bitch because you don't get energy regen unless you have a chunky target you can throw bleeds on
Duskies are awful
Fine on any fights without movement and intermissions
yes but for that... i'd use a pirate tbh
only lose 1k on warlock and mage it seems from loosing shard set
probably gets more from no downtime
yuuup
probably around 1.5k for us with optimal stats
destro warlock is WAY lower than ass rogue doe no set
wut

destro needs huge buffs
class is engineered for 2t and uncapped aoe
But been pretty
after that
That's not true though
The warlock apl is dogshit
that's why it does so little
There is no one who is actually taking care of the apl and making sure it's up to par
Sure, but it's still nowhere close to a proper apl
You often see Warlocks at the bottom of the simulationcraft charts
But then out of nowhere Affliction starts murdering everyone
afl was simming insane in last tier but they removed a 75% damage amp on rapture singletarget
from conduit they removed
I'm not buying this by the way
Because a proper 254 warlock with set does 10.5k
it's not a 3k difference
hopefully they can get it fully optimized
I mean, no apl is ever fully optimized
But yeah, getting there :P
And someone needs to implement into the apl
but like theres probably stuff that just isnt there for warlocks
Like I found out about the MfD thing in Castle Nathria
stuff that everyone knows and does
But it wasn't implemented for god knows what reason
And we were sleeping on it for months because of it
what mfd thing
wut
MA in castle nathria
have you not been here for the last month

no in nathria
Mfd ST
Everyone is playing MfD now in SoD
Yes
of course i play that
OH
It's not a new thing
But it was never implemented
yeah not until vel said something
Yo Cev when will MA be our bis legendary?
We talked about it in #tc-research
and Koji said he'd implement it
but I guess he forgot
Anyways
There's a lot of small things like that
Forgive my idiocy but what does MfD stand for
ty
And new discoveries are always great
And we should aim to always look for new things and new optimizations
I doubt it'll ever see the light of day again unfortunately

They nerfed it to 3s initially
was it 5s?
mmm
But buffed it back to 4s
yeah i remember it being 4
Too far gone, unfortunate
But the thing is that it doesn't work because of the talent
One more second on MA and it would be great again, mark my words
We would play Subterfuge
If we don't play the MA talent, we're forced to pick NS or Subterfuge, both which require one gcd to be used on garrote/rupture
Which means less value on the MA legendary
I remember when this chat used to be active
Now it's a wasteland

i try my best :/
@limber lion I’m sorry I can ape out if you want king
All the zoomers went back to outlaw or went sub
And quake’s been MIA for like a week now
He hates us 
It’s all about timing, doing it with the homies (shitposting) is based. Shitposting with people legitimately asking questions is cringe
Family stuff with Val, sue me king
Maybe I will
See you in court

They'll be back once they realize the power of the bleed-furries
i never leave
It's okay, maybe this tranquility is good for once. It'll be a bitch in 9.2 again, surely
Or well, it just needs one person spouting incorrect information and suddenly it's a party.
Hold my beer
WE PLAY BLOODFANG NEXT PATCH MAKE A PIN
mark my words


i still believe in assa 
listen
purely for the double 1 min cds
im a zoomer
it's the only thing I believe in
and you guys are never losing me
Dw I’m sure a certain content creator whose name starts with an “In” will release something new for us to fight the good fight against
"NIGHTSTALKER ESANGUINATE 200K DAMAGE IN 3 SECONDS?!?!?!"
@limber lion please tell me sin is looking to be the go to spec for next tier, even if its a lie

sin is looking to be the go to spec for next tier

now is that the truth or is that just to make me feel good? lol
yes....

i dont wanna play sub next tier lol and i refuse to look at outlaw
ngl, kyrian outlaw doesnt look terrible
is this
? I think sub looks way stronger rn
oh jeez
take a guess
wait for ptr to be out a few weeks
i mean dont get me wrong, i hate sub, but that's what it seems xD
Why do you hate sub

Sin is looking like the worst of the 3
he was joking lmao
Haven’t they suffered enough in 8.x?
I think outlaw looks the worst tbh
BTE reset does fuck all for them
i like them subs just trapped in pvp so i can play my sin and pirate freely
we need to see the functionality of basically all three sets
I think I need to finish my essay
Yeah well the Shiv thing does fuck all for us
because all three sets have some confusion still
they just need to buff it
Also true
We get 25% more damage on our bleeds, which is around 15% of our damage for 30% of the time with the 2p
The sub 4pc looks meh if it doesn’t give CP too
Overall the entire class tier bonuses look kinda underwhelming
that would require them to change how the 4pc works first
you are not going to enjoy 200% speed bleeds
Any bleed refresh enjoyers during vendetta?
they need to double proc rate, not cut the fucking duration in half its so much easier that way

yeah i play the current iteration of sin
do you?
refreshing rupture at 200% speed is a rupture every 7 seconds
sounds like a blast 😄
then pd
oh im in sub right now yeah
lmao cant even reapply garrote if you made it 200%
but we're not entirely sure yet if we have the exsang effect throughout the entire Vend
200% would destroy garrote uptime lmao
the thing is idk what's worse
Subterfuge gaming
they could just triple the hit rate of them during vendetta instead of reducing the time
It is, esp w/ hemotoxin caked in to shiv instead of a poison
Yeh
they alr play mfd in pvp
yes sir
what is it rn
They still wouldn’t drop alacrity tbh
bleeds up, vend, exsang
i think in pve that burst could have niche uses
Vanish - Env - Muti - Env - MFD - Env
awful overall of course
it's mega burst
Agree
mp/sub/mfd/elusive/alacrity/internal/pb
Depends on what you're trying to do right
Assa rogue about to melt people in pvp
but if you wanted to put ONE class on an overlord for soulrender? fuckin hell sin could solo that
If you wanna have some fun, you should just play Exsang in pvp
and go ham and burst people
rbg's would be pretty dank
Yea true, murk a base sitter
And ninja a base
I was about to take a lighter take and just say I could see NS with MA legendary with 4 set this tier
Literally driving to work thinking of wow
I’ve entered a hellscape
Yeh
nah
welcome back to the PTR mind prison
But MA is still bad because of the alternatives
rather think about wow while i go to school than think about school
I know
I hope you’re thinking of me dunking on your IO
it's sadge
i assume its the same for work


thats how they could fix crimson tempest issue
was thinking about how they could ever fix that talent row
make each target with the dot do slight aoe explosion kinda like echoing blades
Make CT baseline and add a talent that buffs it I guess
they need to make crimson tempest weaker in ST
and make it stronger in aoe
and then buff PB
they cant make it stronger in st and also make it stronger in aoe
sure they can
sounds aids
doing this to crimson tempest would make it great in aoe, and bad in ST
we need an aoe finisher that does more damage to targets with more bleeds or something
what else could they do to make it worse in ST, im bad at thinking of alternatives like this
or maybe these are my fried late night thoughts
Just make PB actually not shit
Remove PB
So that it’s an actual trade off
make pb like it was in legion
actually not boring
yeah that needs to be done either way
Tie PB to Envenom and Shiv
wait was it legion or wod that it was op?
All Envenoms during Shiv proc a poison bomb
It didn't exist in WoD
It did exist in Legion
i literally
ok legion
sup
good
im not even joking
or make it proc on crits
and then we'll actually have to think about shiv windows
Problem with PB in legion is if you didn’t proc it you did like fuck all for damage iirc
poggers
we would instantly go back to "get 3 envenoms in your toxic bladfe or else youre not a real sin rogue" 
correct
so keep the proc rate we have but the power from legoin!
no shot
Poison Bomb was an artifact trait
And it was made into a talent
No idea why they did that
pb in legion was literally our biggest dam sometimes
They should have just removed it then and there
Literally playing m+ and the tank moves the adds away from pb
felt so fucking awful
i just remember when it would proc and youd be telling the tanks not to move the boss lol
yooooooo wtf tank keep them in the green my guy
worse than any night fae hunter this expac
Took me forever to realize that no one else saw poison bomb
remember the knife throw opener?
i remember a friend of mine had a weakaura that triggered anytime an enemy took damage from poison bomnb and his character would instantly start spamming to not move
we could go back to those dark times
I personally just hope we get to be reasonble next tier - im not sure I can face learning sub or feral >:
Well that depends on your definition of reasonable
You’ve been playing the wrong class all expac my friend lol
a man can dream!
May I interest you in boomkin or mage?
besides im a terrible lock lol
im at best a mid tier rogue who simetimes gts first place if the other pumpers are busy or away :p
so er, that
Venthyr boomie is about to be kinda nuts
its already pretty bonkers
Yeppers
“Why is this boomkin in melee range?”
100%
They said not before thanksgiving
Like literal 0%
Yeah zero shot with thanksgiving
So negative shot
ah yeah fair
Half the workers walked out last week
i forget holidays
Thats why my name is here to temind you
I think if that doesn’t happen a good chance we would’ve gotten it last week
i wonder whats its like right now being a dev who actually likes the game
Ill have some christmas stuff by friday
Thank you for waiting until after thanksgiving
forced to sit outside your office for moral obligation but REALLY wanting to go inside and work on the game
I would say they don’t mind making good money but we’ve since come to know that blizz pays their employees like shit 
They’re probably renting a closet out for $2500 a month
I dont think we have closets
Garage it is
how long do you think walkouts last
until bobby the goblin steps down probably
Did you ask them if they know what the rogue class is?
Nah, its normally just that day
No
he says hes not stepping down unless he cant fix the issues present though
Good call. They probably don’t anyway
I didnt mythic raid yet so i didnt understand
He’s not stepping down from shit lmao
yeah for sure
Force the board to axe him, get a nice severance while keeping his shares of actiblizz
Nah but ur stepping down from dn
Real life gallywix got it figured out
blizz has lost SO MUCH of their stock in just last month
Surprised you can read this, broken glasses havin ass

hmm that emote looks familiar
that's a cool emote
Since it's not specified in the faq, do we pool every single time we run out of energy? Let's say I'm casting envenoms, I run out of gas, then I pool a bit and use a few envenoms again? Or when do we pool?
u pool between envenoms afaik, unless vendetta / shiv is active
Always pool before casting envenom, unless inside shiv/vendetta/flag windows
Man, I got to come into a Mythic Ner'zhul kill and Painsmith prog. So. Much. Fun.
#1 in DPS on the kill and a green parse. FML
Mythic is a bit harder to parse on
