gusty mirage
#

so every rogue will know you're stinky

alpine latch
#

My issue for that is I'd really want MFD to go where my CT is

#

And I'm way too lose to swap that button

slow marsh
#

well sometimes when you're this sweaty you get stinky

gusty mirage

Don’t make me pull receipts king really

slow marsh
#

i never got harm mode taz unlocked. do you think that'll matter for 9.2. prob not right?

limber lion
#

Doesn't, no.

spice spire
#

But think about the completion of the document

limber lion
#

The hardmode wull stay as is and the m+ will be its own thing

slow marsh
#

guys this guild seems like they're keeping a super bad rogue despite saying they would be rotating people out after CE and going with their best 20 going into 9.2. time to start the guild hunt again lmao

kindred rapids
#

bit of a catch 22

spice spire
#

But also kekl

slow marsh
#

ik im gonna just chill and jump again

spice spire
slow marsh
#

did you not see the guy im talking about

spice spire
#

Nah don’t think I have

slow marsh
#

sec

oak sky
spice spire
#

Ice blades flaming other rogues again monkascheme

#

Must be a Tuesday monkascheme

kindred rapids
#

when you're too good for any guild bad enough to take you

oak sky
#

theres a point where you just have to stick it out to ce

slow marsh
#

this guy

gusty mirage
#

the man's stuck in January

#

leave him be

slow marsh
#

The "I simmed all combinations and that's what it told me to do so why should I listen to you" guy when I tried to help him out a bit

gusty mirage
#

vendetta garrote

#

nice

#

real nice

slow marsh
#

Ye i'm leaving him alone for sure lol he obvi doesn't want help so it's chill

gusty mirage
#

I actually had a stroke reading that

kindred rapids
#

maybe he has APL optimizations you don't know about

gusty mirage
#

ty

oak sky
#

MAN

slow marsh
#

np you're welcome

spice spire
oak sky
#

i hate the great vault

#

i hope blizzard deletes it so everyone feels like me

#

this has been my joker moment

limber lion
#

Actually thinking about it

#

With optimization done to snd allowing it to be cast at 1cp, and us not playing Doomblade anymore, I could see Ambush opener being better than Muti

spice spire
limber lion
#

@gusty mirage sim ambush opener ty

#

Very important 4 dps.

gusty mirage
#

why must you do this to me

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

he volunteered

#

I'm just trying to set it up for him to make it easier

spice spire
#

Yeah but he’s intimidating because he’s too cute

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Requesting re-evaluation of ambush

#

#1 priority, very important

gusty mirage
#

@limber lion I hate you

willow eagle
#

Ambush opener peepohappy

limber lion
#

But then again muti double hit double poison big deeps for winds

willow eagle
#

Time to run cto for assa

limber lion
inland hull
#

So still no Sylv dagger, but on the plus side I can still pretend that having one would solve all my problems

spice spire
#

Oxi gonna murder someone today kekl

slow marsh
#

We can only hope

slow marsh
glass tulip
#

subterfuge amb-snd-amb opener Pog2

slow marsh
#

But since winds still exists wouldn't muti opener still be better for an additional instance of a crit

slow marsh
#

Otherwise we just run blindside CTO

glass tulip
#

why am I being dumb and forgetting what CTO is

spice spire
#

Count the odds

#

Outlaw conduit

#

Stop the CTO nonsense

glass tulip
#

why would I care what cto does

slow marsh
#

Cuz it's like the best conduit rogue has outside of lashing scars

glass tulip
#

but can I use it on assassin

slow marsh
#

but ye outlaw stuff who plays that dirty spec

spice spire
#

Yes

#

It procs off of ambush from stealth iirc

#

I’ve never gone that deep into it

slow marsh
#

technically yes we can but since we don't have dispatch and can only ambush from stealth every 2mins ish

#

not worth

limber lion
#

Who knows

slow marsh
#

it's confirmed ambush technically better on open but it's like literally 3 dps

#

not worth the ruckus it would cause in here

#

oxi confirm 7 dps

gusty mirage
#

tried it a few times

#

between 3 and 7

spice spire
#

Difference between a 99 and 100

hushed dirge
#

This is the first week I have had a vault that has given me absolutely nothing of value.

cobalt pelican
#

welcome

limber lion
#

I took tokens from my third vault

#

Nutty

hushed dirge
#

I have all 3 pieces of the raid loot and the boots are worse then the ones I am currently wearing.

gusty mirage
#

meanwhile I've taken research 4 weeks in a row

hushed dirge
#

I will do more keys this week because of the 239 chest for a chance at the shoulders transmog.

alpine radish
#

What's your ilvl?

hushed dirge
#

247 with max at 250

copper sundial
#

must be nice getting needed stuff in your vault

alpine radish
#

Gonna struggle to get higher unless you do mythic raid now really

#

Some items probs take you closer

hushed dirge
#

I am fine for gear, I want to finish the Heroic Transmog..

alpine radish
#

Haha I'm bracers away from mine

#

Wow doesn't want to give me first boss loot

sharp zodiac
#

I just want my 2nd 259 daggy so I can start pulling for vein ripper from vault

hushed dirge
#

I need to do a pug leather only raid to make the chances higher.

limber lion
#

Sheesh sharing the chat with casuals

gusty mirage
#

yeah I got a crit/haste cloak for when I play zold 5 weeks ago

#

then research 3 weeks in a row before that

limber lion
#

Yeh last time I got something good was my dagger

gusty mirage
#

imagine getting a dagger from the vault

hushed dirge
#

I hope to get Remnant down this week in Mythic with this new guild.

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

Got research 6 weeks in a row after that and 5 before it

#

Sooo

gusty mirage
#

at least you didn't have to wait until the end of the tier

#

just the end of you playing the tier

sharp zodiac
#

I’ve been swapping between sub and sin loot spec for vault thinking one is luckier than the other

gusty mirage
hushed dirge
#

Had the group not run out of time the boss would have been dead.

limber lion
#

Yeh

alpine radish
#

I've been looting crappy trinkets to add to my collection

limber lion
#

I did manage to do a few runs with it

#

Was pretty poggywoggy

alpine radish
#

Grim codex and flayewing toxin yayyy

gusty mirage
#

you're pretty poggywoggy

alpine radish
#

Should've taken research

limber lion
#

no u

hushed dirge
#

I already have 252 non raid boots for the new tier.

#

After I finish Mythic raiding for the week I plan on Covenant swapping.

alpine radish
#

I'm two down one to go unless they buff night fae lego to 15-20 secs but that's some copium right there

hushed dirge
#

Make the NF leggo guarantee all huge cd's for all 3 specs. copium

slow marsh
#

is exsang the future. we find out soon enough

arctic walrus
#

Dawg you can’t talk in this channel without an active subscription didn’t you hear @limber lion

limber lion
#

Logged on to practice NF shenanigans before 9.2

#

I'm now oiled, warmed up and ready for the patch drop

#

The furry tech has been perfected

slow marsh
#

cev what 2nd leggo would you run with NF

twilit hollow
#

no mannnnn, no more fairy

slow marsh
#

he must be sleep now

subtle tundra
#

so sepsis is a poison, yea, you know what goes well with poisons?

slow marsh
#

sepsis not a poison

subtle tundra
#

then its a bleed!

slow marsh
#

it's nature damage but not poison

subtle tundra
#

master assassin

#

so you vanish mega crit it poggers

#

PAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW damage

slow marsh
#

lol yeah massive damage then you are a noodle until vanish is back up

#

but na idk how we don't run dusk with current 4p

subtle tundra
#

ok but?

slow marsh
#

and dusk seems pretty bad for NF specifically cuz sepsis 1.5min

subtle tundra
#

vanish sepsis with shiv ============== PAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

nocturne geode
#

i seen in the pin about 9.2 its looking to remain venthyr/necro. hows kyrian feely crafting?

spice spire
#

Can’t feel if there’s no PTR

gusty mirage
#

I need legion timewalking to come out faster

#

so you degenerates have something else to shout besides sepsis

subtle tundra
#

ok but what about kyrian and using throw knifes to fish for cp

fresh oracle
#

quick question im new here and too playing a rogue. so what is our haste and crit cap. or where can i find that information

golden basalt
#

You just sim, there is no golden %

fresh oracle
#

so we ignore dimenishing returns?

jaunty steeple
#

sims take those into account

golden basalt
#

The sim doesn’t, and we are good lil boys who listen to the technological overlords

#

+40% crit is an ish good rule of thumb for when you’re using the winds of winter set

fresh oracle
#

ok got ya thankyou for the assistance and sorry to interrupt the conversation at hand.

#

yall were very helpful and hasty to respond

golden basalt
#

No worries, the conversation prior was shit

gusty mirage
#

^

#

in fact I'd be happy if you interrupted the previous conversation some more

fresh oracle
#

ok so i perviously read that its haste over crit is that still valid

winter vapor
#

not with domination shards

golden basalt
#

the winds of winter domination set heavily benefits from crit making crit your most valuable stat in raids

#

then yea, prob haste to a certain degree

fresh oracle
#

ok so im only 225ilvl and im floating crit haste within 2% of each other which haste is 24 and crit 22 so until i get dom gear its ok

golden basalt
#

Yea

#

def

#

For now just focus on ilvl

#

and once you start getting ilvl increases that sim lower than you’re equipped items then you can start worrying about secondary stats

fresh oracle
#

awsome thakyou

#

the rotation is takeing me a minute to get use to but i am jsut maintaining garrote and rupture and envenom

thorny pond
#

That’s gist of it yea. Not a bad rotation by any stretch

glad siren
#

how do i sim which food is best for me ? i always assumed feast but since theo buff crit is best... am i to believe crit food might be better?

gusty mirage
#

!oil

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

bleak sky
woven crest
#

im around 43% crit rn and got fate helm in my box but its simming worse then remnant helm which seems odd? 252 ilvl on each

twilit hollow
#

are you venthyr, are you dashing, do you have R5 frost

bleak sky
#

do you have "change gems" thing enabled on raidbots?

woven crest
#

r5 frost dashing and sims worse as venthyr and necro

#

ya i do

twilit hollow
#

lots of reasons, probably better to pickup anyways

bleak sky
#

so trust sims ❤️

echo geyser
#

any frost gamers tried shard of tel again?

hollow river
hollow river

what's going on here

dawn ivy
#

hes implying you already kicked him

hollow river
#

oh

#

idk if i see that happening

dawn ivy
#

are you kidding me? he ran a suboptimal build.

#

that guy is the reason death penalties exist

oak sky

damn

#

our kt kill

#

3 weapons

#

tonight

#

its my turn on sylvanas

hollow river

good luck

spark scaffold
#

Still hoping for a vault dagger in 3 hrs

oak sky
#

yeah

#

i havent seen endboss loot

#

in vault

#

3 weeks in a row with 3 slots

spark scaffold
#

I got the KT shoulders last week so can't complain

#

If by end boss you mean 259

oak sky
#

yep

#

im still running heroic versions of like 5 loot pieces

spark scaffold
#

Thats super unlucky this far into the patch

oak sky
#

well

echo geyser
oak sky
#

its kt shoulders kt neck sylv dagger sylv ring

spark scaffold
#

Do you run CT or PB on sylv?

oak sky
oak sky
spark scaffold
#

Well, let's hope for a dagger at least

#

259 main hand is such a big increase

oak sky
#

any of the sylv loot would be a nice upgrade

#

belt probably worst but eventually with more gear

hollow river
#

I got eye gloves

#

And the nine(?) boots

#

Boots weren’t even an upgrade

#

Vers mas

#

🤮

gusty mirage
#

kaka stats

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

-0.9%

#

Probably good for sub though

slow marsh
#

dang having to turn down g invites because of schedule sucks ass

celest sail
#

is there any way to pick your theotar buff, or do people just fish for crit and log out if they actually care lol

slow marsh
#

you roll and logout

#

and reroll every hour until crit or haste

celest sail
#

lol

#

aight i dont care about parses that much lol

clever kindle
#

Hmm does anyones guild bring an extra person down for 2nd intermission on KT?

slow marsh
#

we did for a few pulls but it's better to just swap 2 without cds for 1 with a bigger cd

clever kindle
#

we arent using vantus yet or good feasts so maybe thats enough but maybe worth for prog

#

might just swap our boomies and hunters though

slow marsh
#

i would suggest you guys use everything you will on kill so you have more accurate damage

#

It's all about timing damage so consistency makes it much easier

plain onyx
#

how do i take two gargoyles at the same time in HoA ? do i pull them both at the same time and then press the button ?

toxic quail
#

yeah pull them both and spam the button

clever kindle
#

were only raiding tuesday this week because of thanksgiving so well know a little better next week but I think our game plan is take melee off second intermission so me and other rogue get to stay up top and have night fae boomie go down

toxic quail
clever kindle
#

lol will do

toxic quail
#

then youll kill it

clever kindle
#

technically true EZ

oak sky
#

well

#

we recleared sylv

#

no loot

toxic quail
#

Agreon come on man

#

just loot the dagger

oak sky
#

i did 9.4 in p3

#

just a little more gear

#

and i can hit 11k like cev

limber lion
#

You can do it, I believe!

gusty mirage
# oak sky we recleared sylv

We struggle bussed selling remnant and soulrender for first 5 and then wiped on painsmith like 6 times before calling it a week

#

Fun fun reclears

oak sky
#

sadge

#

we probably get all the other bosses done monday

#

but we arent doing fate

slow marsh
#

My suspicions seemed to be right this guild a bit sussy

#

I know I played like shit but idk

slow marsh
#

Dead channel

subtle tundra
#

upgraded a finger from my collection from 246 to 252 fuck yea
clearly didnt want another dagger

slow marsh
#

Pog. Gonna have a whole backpack full of 252 rings soon

exotic plume
#

Which week is it without a dagger?

keen garden
#

For the record, I'd like to say its a tragedy that bottle of flayedwing toxin isn't bis automatically for assassin

#

I want poisons on my poisons

29 kills and 16 vaults 🤡

Nah

True

He just catches up on chat

That implies he's ever not signed in

It's an abstract sort of feel

#

Now to do Mythics on my Mage for the weekly

Won’t get this dagger untill 1 week before 9.2 launch, I’m sure

Theres a bright side to not getting any loot

#

The list of people that will trade me and only me on certain pieces is getting higher

solid nymph
#

are sims making the proc from nadjia crit or vers?

oak sky
#

Should be whichever is higher

#

There was a bug before where it would only do vers

#

Should be fixed

raven vapor
#

Pins have changed a bit, is mfd+obe still the way to go? And Theo now if we get crit tea?

oak sky
#

Mfd+dashing is the normal build, but obedience can be better depending on fight timing

#

Theotar is better with crit and haste tea, you can sim to check for yourself with the string in #subtlety-faq

raven vapor
#

Awesome cheers, I'm smashing my head against sylv atm so I'll stick to obe don't really want to relearn flag timings

oak sky
#

Yeah whichever you already run is fine

burnt latch
#

Does it matter in the opener if I do rupture > mut > shiv or rupture > shiv > mut?

oak sky
#

Not a huge amount but rupture shiv mut is slightly better since it uses vanish to generate

#

Especially since its during flag

woven ruin
#

Assuming cloak will still be a leggo slot, what are we thinking the 2nd will be?

fallen arch
#

Arent cov leggo’s gonna be belt?

rich swift
#

Is it acceptable to envenom at 4 combo points? Wowanalyzer keep telling me I’m wasting combo points generated with mutilate.

drifting cloud
#

wowanalyzer hasnt been updated in like 1 xpac

rich swift
#

Ok, so I shouldn’t use. Thanks.

drifting cloud
#

yeah it has some niche uses but you need to know what youre looking at and its nothing you cant see in the logs by themselves

gaunt halo
#

It's still right. Envenom on 4 or 5 cp

#

Since mutilate will generate 2+. So those will be wasted when mutilating at 4cp

charred wraith
hollow river
#

We never force 5

#

The only thing that should overcap combo points is Seal Fate procs (mutilate crits)

#

Or shiv

Necrolord spike pumps on sylv lol 😂

#

Wtf

meager swallow
#

Simming Obdience vs Dashing is like <30 dps loss. But I feel like it has some synergy especially with burst windows. With a >+40 crit do I still want to main dashing or do I want to switch to obedience on Sylv?

spice spire
#

It is solely whatever the sims say. It’s like a small difference either way so whatever you’re most comfy on

#

Works

tiny ember
#

Does assa have any shennagines like sub prepull? with the shadowdsut lego?

thorny pond
#

There is some MFD stuff you can do if your raid lead is chill and gives good pull timers

tiny ember
#

for some reason my fucking sub soulbinds/conduits don't work so I'm relearing assa made a ticket with a gm apprently it's a known bug ....

#

for raid tonight so I think I'll keep it mostly simple XD was just wondering if there is liek something that's a a must do before for some QoL

#

Thank you @thorny pond

thorny pond
#

I mean sin is the QoL rogue spec

#

Straightforward and slower paced

timid cloud
#

Yeah, you can do your taxes between Envenoms if you wanted to.

alpine latch
#

That's why I don't run MFD. I don't like how it feels

#

lol

#

I enjoy Vigor

#

Also, why introduce an extra button for a minimal gain?

spice spire
#

Parsing

gusty mirage
#

Because it’s better

#

What do you mean why lol

vestal wren
#

mfd can be fun to play

spice spire
#

It definitely takes some practice though

gusty mirage
#

If we didn’t have people testing things out constantly we’d end up with warlock’s APL

thorny pond
#

Slam big envenoms with that mfd

spice spire
#

Oxi hated it the first couple of times - and then he picked it up. I’m still in the hating phase myself 😛

gusty mirage
#

I still hate it

#

But I’ll play it because it’s more damage

spice spire
#

Yeah but now you’re not inting

#

kekl I was trying to be nice about it

thorny pond
#

It’s better on fights with adds that die

#

But still good regardless

#

Just feels better

Idk man, does Wayne county show up to their own court dates?

gusty mirage
#

Depends on the judge apparently

spice spire

Wait you had a judge show up on time? poggersgasp

thorny pond
spice spire
#

Why am I just now hearing of this? I only know the judges that push court dates back and the ones that don’t bother showing kekl

gusty mirage

All that fat damage

thorny pond
#

Ele shaman was out sick so me and boomkin got the ride

spice spire
#

Let’s fucking go yejoice

#

Earthquake is actually dps terrorism

#

So we take those

thorny pond
#

He’s pretty good ele but sometimes you wanna parse

#

And if you have an ele he isn’t going to not AoE

spice spire
#

Ye

thorny pond
#

He’s learning enh for me tho

#

Might unironically for MW if sin and sub aren’t good tho

spice spire
#

MW is respectable tho

thorny pond
#

I healed in MoP

#

Couldn’t raid lead and take the ego hit from being average dps while I made calls

spice spire
#

I’m raidleading as a rogue rn on most fights

#

There’s not a worse hell tbh

#

Well I could be playing a class I hate to be fair

#

But yeah melee dps + rling sucks

thorny pond
#

Our RL plays fury and does it and is quite good at both. I’m sure he could parse better if he wasn’t 360 watching everything but high APM melee specs are awful to RL on

spice spire
#

Yeah luckily sin is low APM and kinda brain dead

thorny pond
#

Fair

spice spire
#

That’s impressive tho our rl tried and couldn’t do it

#

So he’s MWing

thorny pond
#

I did melee leading for us in TF which was easy because all I was doing was calling mechanics I had to react for anyways

spice spire
#

Yeah the first few are easy. But during remnant, calling for dispels is kinda cring

thorny pond
#

Our fury is a giga Chad. Calls the marks, who dispells and then the p3 double knocks

#

Ironically our tank does the stop dps calls. Hope those go away forever after this tier

spice spire
#

Same here. I love spell queuing 🙂

thorny pond
#

RL as MW was fun though since I was super mobile and that was the period of time where you could flex in and out of melee

hollow river
#

If I ran Vigor for all of Sylvanas prog I’d literally be falling asleep mid pull

#

But instead I run around for the entire intermission like a crazed chicken keeping up 5 stacks of Alacrity

alpine latch
hollow river
#

Same thing as SBS tbh

#

If sin was more fast paced like outlaw, with just as many buttons

#

Omg

alpine latch
#

For me, fun is performing my spec (whatever it is) as close to perfect as possible

hollow river
#

😍

alpine latch
#

I feel like a crackhead playing outlaw

#

There's always 11 buttons to hit in the next GCD

hollow river
#

Outlaw is fun

alpine latch
#

It's okay

hollow river
#

All rogue specs

alpine latch
#

I preferred the original Combat spec to outlaw, though

#

I think us having guns is about the damned dumbest thing they've added to the game

hollow river
#

Are the littiest

alpine latch
#

Yeah - I mean, I hate Sub and I'd rather play Sub than almost any other class/spec combo

hollow river
#

Idk I love sub too

#

Sin is like snooze fest ez

I only hate Sub because I haven't played it in so long, plus I don't like the whole "shadow magic" thing.

Rupture was a dps loss so it was just SS/Evisc simulator 95% of every fight

also you're all welcome for getting shiv nerfed in WOTLK

The thread I started had like 50 pages of replies with Ghostcrawler responding to it and instead of fixing the spec they just nerfed the shiv build KEKLeave

The new guild leadership is better and people listen well for the most part. Old guild had better players at the top but leadership was worse so took longer to kill things

#

It just makes me realize that for 1k and under guilds it's just organization / leadership diff

#

Not player diff

#

Which I've heard said a lot I just never learned it myself until now since I've been in the same guild since coming back to wow in 9.0

drifting cloud
#

lmao

#

yeah rank 2k guilds held back by officers for sure

#

totally not when half your roster would benefit from just reading a guide

slow marsh
#

I mean there are people like that in current 1k guild so

spice spire
drifting cloud
#

sure its both, but the player aspect is alot more than 50% of it

#

thats why you have 3day hof guilds and 3day guilds that are still on sylvannas

spice spire
#

Yes man

clever kindle
#

You can make some players watch a guide 50 times its not going to help them with the fight

slow marsh
#

I mean to me it's a given that 'good' leadership wouldn't keep people that heavily underperform consistently

clever kindle
#

Yeah but it's a game not a job

jaunty steeple
#

the less players have to think, the better they can perform, the better the leadership, the less they have to think

#

both are important

slow marsh
#

Ye

clever kindle
#

People like to play with their friends even if that's a few % less efficient

#

You could have the best group of players in the world and if half of them are cunts im still leaving

slow marsh
#

Well yeah casual guilds are allowed to be casual

#

Nobody arguing that

clever kindle
#

Mythic cutting edge guilds aren't really casual

slow marsh
#

People just have different goals when it comes to playing and that's fine

clever kindle
#

Don't get me wrong there comes a certain point where you have to sit people or whatever to progress

slow marsh
#

You can raid mythic with a casual attitude and eventually get CE

#

There's enough gear and time in the raid to make it happen

clever kindle
#

Even at the end of each tier you're talking a significant portion under 10% of the overall playerbase getting CE

#

I believe that was the number Id have to look again

#

Also dont know how reliable some of those places are that get that data I guess

#

But you can look at amount of guilds with the CE achievements

drifting cloud
#

the % of the overall playerbase that gets ce doesnt really matter

#

when like half of it doesnt even step into the raid

slow marsh
#

Ye

oak sky
#

You just need to be in a guild that gets ce every tier and you get ce

#

If you got in, you were good enough to get ce

drifting cloud
#

CE is really not some insane achiev in most tiers

#

but yeah theres a difference between CE in tomb or CE in nyalotha

slow marsh
#

Yeah

Benching under performers is kind of a must

limber lion
#

More often than not you get applicants which are downright terrible

oak sky
#

Like me :)

limber lion
#

Like someone 4/10 applying to a CE guild

#

Which is better, benching the underperformer to give the 4/10 a shot

#

Or sticking with your guy

hollow river
toxic quail
#

I can attest to that Cev. My guild has been trialing Boomkins, Spriests, and Warlocks for 4 months now and not found a single good one.

slow marsh
#

Well then I concede the point since like I have limited experience in guild hopping

toxic quail
#

Our original Syl kill roster is almost still better aside from like 3 new dps/heals we snagged.

limber lion
#

Finding good players is not easy

toxic quail
#

Some people just are awful at the game.

hollow river
limber lion
#

Finding a good player for a spec that you need, even harder

hollow river
#

But I think I’m a rare case

toxic quail
#

Killing Mythic Syl with 1 Boomkin was so hard.

#

But we did it, melee heavy as hell.

oak sky
#

My guild had no boomie all this tier

Next tier theres 2 guys thinking about rerolling

All the como issues will be solved when the rerolls go through

spice spire

Sheesh

toxic quail
#

Yeah I don’t want to not play Rogue but I have a warrior, Druid, and Hunter ready for next tier. Just cause I want to help anyway I can.

slow marsh
#

Right now seems like a good time to get settled into something going into 9.2 since comps should adjust for rerollers

oak sky
#

Im gonna be exclusively on rogue unless i start pushing hof

#

Other classes are just alts

limber lion
oak sky
#

Also the 9.1.5 QoL makes it nice to reroll rn

limber lion
#

Or at least they make it clear to the rl that they are looking to swap

this will make y’all chuckle, the Spriest we have brought to Mythic Sylv 2 times now has lost to our Brewmaster both times.

Never bring trial to last boss

oak sky

I mean you have to

hollow river
#

Especially if they’re not doing well

toxic quail
#

Yeah an absolute carry two weeks in a row. And he lived the whole fight.

slow marsh
#

Rogue in this guild got CE using blindside vigor with doomblade frost set. Makes me so sadge

toxic quail
#

Hahahahaha no shot Ice.

hollow river
#

Dude the new rogue trial in my guild is running unholy

#

As sin

oak sky
#

Farm isnt really relevant content so the closest thing to a trial is endboss tbh

toxic quail
#

Yeah we specifically bring our trials in for Remnant, Pain, Fate, KT, and Sylv.

hollow river
#

I don’t think he sims at all

#

But you’re giving these trials free CE carries

#

Even if they’re bad

toxic quail
#

If you can do mechanics and do dmg, you’ll get a spot. But they always crumble or get beat by our beefy Brew.

slow marsh
#

Better to not sim at all than to say you simmed all combinations and came out with BS vig doomblade frost

oak sky
#

At least he got frost

hollow river
oak sky
#

It would have deeper

hollow river
#

Maybe he doesn’t know

slow marsh
#

Na I ran a sim for him and linked it and he ignored

toxic quail
#

Imma sim it now. Haha

drifting cloud
#

yeah you need advanced knowledge such as sylvn dies on 45%

hollow river
drifting cloud
#

and then you need to read blindside tooltip

slow marsh
#

Tbh that rogue is the biggest reason I'm trying to dip already

drifting cloud
#

its only for the best

slow marsh
#

Cuz he's a core raider

drifting cloud
#

or even more advanced tactic would be to look at top100 logs

hollow river
#

Yeah fuuuuck that ice

oak sky
#

1% tactic is join class discord

toxic quail
#

I don’t blame you.

#

He is the classic Andy playing how he wants to play and you can’t change his mind.

slow marsh
#

Ye and I'm sure he's a chill guy and I don't mean to be toxic

drifting cloud
#

my friend calling out someone that has 20% prog parses as assa rogue

#

is not toxic

hollow river
#

Nope we definitely being toxic

drifting cloud
#

its just fucking factual

hollow river

Hahahaha

Lmao

spice spire
#

Ice blades known rogue troll

toxic quail
#

You tried to help and he didn’t want it. So all is fair.

I’ve got 1 grey from prog

Famous for his affinity for RPing and flaming rogues for their shit parses

slow marsh
#

I am a troll but I don't want to be a toxic troll

spice spire
#

You’re not a toxic troll

#

I’m memeing

hollow river
#

Idk if I even bring up this new trials incorrect gearing

toxic quail
#

I got 2 259 Edge of Night and still parse like shit cause I’m the one doing all mexhanics making farm raids easier so we don’t wipe.

#

So don’t worry.

slow marsh
#

I rather be the fun troll under the bridge on the kids shows asking for some sheckles

hollow river
#

Do I bring it up boys?

drifting cloud
#

do you have trial channels on discord or something

#

because I guess thats what they would be for

oak sky
#

Do it notrickz

hollow river
#

Nop

oak sky
#

Send him to hell

slow marsh
#

Lol

#

Right to hell

hollow river
#

But like do I talk to him first

toxic quail
#

@oak sky come trial with us and you’ll get the dagger and mount first kill.

hollow river
#

Or holla at my gm

toxic quail
#

Ez.

slow marsh
#

Say it's testing his responsiveness to feedback

hollow river
#

Mmm

slow marsh
#

Def talk to him first

#

Then to GM if he doesn't respond

toxic quail
#

Literally every time we trial someone they get the mount on the kill. And our GM and 2 officers haven’t got it yet. Hahaha

#

I roll every time. Haha

hollow river
#

Make em give it up

#

Free CE but we get mount omegalul

solid venture
toxic quail
#

That would be the true right thing to do honestly.

#

But them boys too nice to enforce that shit.

hollow river
#

Idk if we ever kill sylv

#

It will be only main raiders on reclear

red plaza
#

That’s if your main raiders still show up after CE pepehands

oak sky
#

Our gm got the mount yesterday and he started trying to auction it off

drifting cloud
#

swapping 1-3 people for 2nd kill shouldnt be that much of an issue

toxic quail
#

Hahahahaha. Someone offered me 6 mill for mine. I should have sold it.

hollow river
#

It’s more about gear a

#

And actually getting a second kill

hollow river
drifting cloud
#

the 4 items that drop arent worth much when you wont be able to trade them, just unlocking it in vault is worth alot more

oak sky
#

Once you get the kt skip reclearing sylv is easy

#

Our issue was getting through fate every week

hollow river
#

If we ever get it

toxic quail
#

Yeah KT skip gives you a mental break from the “hard” bosses.

hollow river
#

That’s 3 weeks of killing kt

oak sky
#

Lol my guild isnt doing fatescribe for the rest of the tier

drifting cloud
#

just buy a skip 😛

oak sky
#

People just suck at it

toxic quail
#

Like we can 1-2 shot Syl. But struggle on the damn Remnant.

oak sky
drifting cloud
#

trolled it how?

oak sky
#

Only one saved to it inside then left to do a key or something

drifting cloud
#

huh

#

tarragrue??

oak sky
#

We got the skip but didnt kill kt the first day

#

So it got weird when someone left the instance

#

Luckily we killed guardian first for nobody to get the trinket :/

drifting cloud
#

so killing the guardian doesnt leave the portals up for next raid or what

tough eagle
#

hey sin bros, if i get random crits of muti to 5 CPs as my shiv's coming off cd, do i shiv on 5 or do i delay shiv

hollow river
#

You shiv on 5

oak sky
spice spire
#

Shiv is fine to overcap just treat it like an uptime debuff

#

Want it up as much as possible

limber lion
#

If you know Shiv is coming off cooldown, you can Muti once at 0cp and then just pool whilst waitikg for Shiv

#

On 2-4cp

#

Instead of slamming another Muti in only to inevitably overcap cp

tough eagle
#

then i do a shiv on 2, for 1, then muti crits at 3 for 4

#

still waste sth

limber lion
#

You take the chamce

#

That's a really really really unlucky and unlikely scenarii

#

Where neither of you muti hands crit

#

Nor does Shiv

#

With vurrent 40% crit it's very very unlikely that happens

#

But you can track garrote as welll and use it to fill the cp if its entering pandemic

#

If not, unlucky, gotta muti again

weak plover
#

@toxic quail my sylv prog is cancelled this week. You need any trials 😂?

limber lion
#

Still worth waiting instead of slamming mutis to max cp

strange python
#

My favorite is muti with masterassain up and getting 2 cps

spice spire
#

I too enjoy the 1% 2 cp mut

hollow river
#

Feels bad when first mut of the fight gives 3

spice spire
#

Wdym

#

That’s for Snd 😉

#

Right?

hollow river
#

Yeah still feels bad tho

spice spire
#

The second mut is the painful one

#

Because you know you’ll hit a double crit on the one out of MA joeagony

hollow river
#

Huh?

spice spire
#

Second mut

#

Not snd

toxic quail
spice spire
#

If you have a second snd, that’s omega pain

toxic quail
#

No what feels bad is when the first mut is a parry.

#

I’ll get in position and the tanks will troll melee on purpose.

#

And turn the boss all weird ways.

spice spire
#

You ever had your sbs parried?

#

That’s the truest of pains

oak sky
#

One pull i fat fingered pot before pull and then had that thing happen where your flag cant generate stacks

toxic quail
#

Bro that flag thing happened on Syl last week right when we lusted. What the hell is that? A bug?

#

Or did I scuff something?

spice spire
#

Yeah looks like it

#

Not 100% though don’t quote me on it

#

But there have been a few reports on people flagging but not getting the buff

toxic quail
#

Yeah that’s not a very good option.

#

I was tilted.

hollow river
toxic quail
#

Let me check. He is the type of tank who cheeses stuff to do more dmg. Like he makes our bear tank do most stuff so he can pump.

spice spire
#

Time to get a free CE in boys “I’m trialing”

#

Just have to beat the brewmaster

oak sky
oak sky
toxic quail
#

Yeah same Agreon. He cat convokes and screams how he is top dps for 3 seconds.

#

Our Brew does 5.3-5.7 on our Syl kills.

hollow river
oak sky
#

Always nice to see tanks doing solid damage

#

More fun for them

Does anyone run a normal EON over 252 weapons in offhand?

#

ive got a 242 249 eon and 233 eon but im unsure if raidbots sims properly with those weapons

It does sim properly

#

Listen to the sim yejoice

hollow river
timid cloud

Sounds like a real....

#

Moment

velvet robin
#

Yeah i thought so, i was just wondering as i didnt know if it took the banshees blight into consid

spice spire
#

I mean he acknowledged that he just wasn’t sure 😛

timid cloud
#

Most of the time, a Normal EON will be less than 100 DPS off of most 252’s

#

Unless it’s the good stat ones.

spice spire
#

But it’s still a good dagger

velvet robin
#

Cheers guys 🙂

limber lion
#

I wouldn't use a normal EoN if you have a basic 252 dagger alternative.

grim jay
#

^ experienced that being better aswell. normal EoN instead of 252 is definitely a sub thing tho

slow marsh
limber lion
#

Not only is it more consistent because there are no procs, it's just flat out better

#

There are no downsides to a normal dagger, but there are downsides to using EoN

slow marsh
#

Eon also loses a lot of value in aoe

#

Not that we are doing that much but ye

strange python
#

At current, what is assassinations' better covenant?

limber lion
#

And it just doesn't work on targets where you don't get execute value, like Sylvanas

Don’t AoE. Just single target multiple times 🧠

strange python
#

Have spent all morning trying to figure out why my winds of winter and envenom seem to be doing less dam than the top parses and am super fucking lost

hollow river
#

Some of it is crit rng

#

For winds

spice spire
#

Rank 5?

strange python
#

Yes ofc

spice spire
#

I wouldn’t look at raw damage, but percentage. Do you perhaps have logs to look at?

hollow river
#

Which fight are you checking

strange python
#

Guardian first, but in general trying to figure out where I'm losing dam

timid cloud
#

Sometimes, it really comes down to “I didn’t crit during winds.”

strange python
#

My winds did 1800 DPS on guardian. Top comparable rogue log (no externals, same talents, same kill time) did 2100

spice spire
#

It’s good to look at % of damage over raw numbers. If you’re doing less dam overall, chances are it’ll do less overall. After that you look at crit %

strange python
#

Yeah I'm trying to go as deep as I can. I'm salty I am not 99%ing shit

#

Last time I played at this level was in mop before a break

#

Back then the answer was snapshot better

spice spire
#

Much simpler these days

#

Wait, you’re running MfD right?

strange python
#

I'm not, mostly because I was lazy.

timid cloud
#

That can be massive, especially in your opener.

strange python
#

And yes, I know mfd obe is theoretically better, but again, comparing to the logs of same talents

spice spire
#

Ahhhh fair

strange python
#

Most top logs still running ep/vigor

#

Fwiw

#

Even without externals

oak sky
#

If you have less gear than higher logs you might just directly do less damage

strange python
#

I'm 255 xd

oak sky
#

Uh

strange python
#

Just missing sylv offhand

hollow river
#

BS/DS should be better for guardian though

strange python
#

It's still ep/vig heavy on guardian

oak sky
#

Because people are lazy

#

Not because its better

strange python
#

Anyways: looking at Misanthropic on guardian, rank 41.

#

Our damage breakdown is almost even

#

But his winds did 300 more DPS

oak sky
#

Crit rng

#

He either crit on more winds or better winds

strange python
#

He has a second dag too which makes a difference but still

spice spire
#

46.2% crit on winds

#

L

#

I mean that’s the difference alone

timid cloud
#

Did one have wind fury & the other didn’t either? Not really an external, but it’s also a factor.

strange python
#

Yeah I can't find more crit than I've got without my sim saying it's a downgrade

spice spire
#

Going to assume you’re critical @strange python

strange python
#

Both had wft

#

Ye

oak sky
#

Well no

spice spire
#

Yeah

oak sky
#

Its your crit% on winds only

strange python
#

Oh I misread it

#

Yeah he crit the winds 7% more

oak sky
#

Its not very many instances of damage so winds has high variance on crit

strange python
#

Alright painsmith - having to FoK balls twice for full CP feels like the struggle

oak sky
#

Technically mut might do more damage

#

Im not convinced that spamming fok is the play after deadly poison is applied

hollow river
#

^

oak sky
#

Im not sure though

hollow river
#

Only 1 ball shows on logs so

#

Kinda hard to tell

timid cloud
#

Well you do it to get more CP.

#

Not so much the actual damage.

oak sky
#

Its rng

strange python
timid cloud
#

I just do it to try to funnel the damage done from those balls into the boss itself.

strange python
#

Which I get is just luck but I'm missing something else

oak sky
#

Nope

#

Its luck

strange python
#

No not on the xp
