Shade stones is my money cow

Now no one buys them

#

For most people, working one hour is enough to pay for several months of wow sub. While the time spent on acquiring a token is a lot higher : P

alpine latch
#

Because I enjoy playing video games more than I enjoy working

wide hawk
#

I hope so

limber lion
#

man's stacked

glass tulip
#

if you're making $75/hr please let me know when you're hiring

limber lion
#

45 bucks an hour

#

sheeesh

#

Sign me up king

wide hawk
#

wow sub is only 13 euros no?

alpine latch
#

I'd much rather play a game for 10 hours than work an extra hour. I value my actual money quite highly.

#

Gaming is my free time passion and helps with loneliness in the winter from not seeing my friends as much. If I can do it for free, I'm going to.

$100,000 year is ~48/hr if you work every week of the year

alpine latch
#

$100,000 is puts you in the top 5% of the working class

#

the acts neded to pay for a token = / = playing the game

alpine latch
#

I log into a character, craft a shadestone, and mail it to my bank

#

Really tough stuff

wide hawk
#

shady business

alpine latch
#

With the 9.1.5 leveling buff and the 17% EXP bonus, I leveled 3 more 50s to 60

#

Unlocking Shadestones took like an hour and I did it while leveling

#

Maybe 2

glass tulip
#

not too shabby

#

You can pay for your subscription with minimal effort. Just takes logging in for ~20 minutes a day

wide hawk
#

but if working is also minimal effort... EZ

alpine latch
#

Not everyone has a good job they enjoy

#

I guess, I'm saying for me it makes little sense to grind out tokens

alpine latch
#

Cool, then don't?

wide hawk
#

I just assumed it was the same for most, my bad 😉

alpine latch
#

Keep buying them when you need gold, and I'll keep using your money to pay for my sub

glass tulip
#

thanks for the insight money making boys, appreciate it

Pepela buying tokens

#

korthite crystals are a free gold generator farm up 6 alts and have a blast

alpine latch
#

So do we know where Duskwalkers will go? I assume that's a ring?

wide hawk
#

they should put the legendary effects on piercings instead. No more drama with recrafting

#

an obedience cock-ring would be nice

#

i mastery a bad stat for us ? i geared my rogue to 224 but was just taking ilvl i have a heavy mastery statline and i feel like its solid but i could be wrong

limber lion
lean walrus
#

i know im talking in the future

#

i know ilvl is top prio i just swapped to assa from a healer

limber lion
#

The raid gear is very heavy on crit/haste

#

You won't have much mastery anyways

#

but yes, mastery is not the best stat

lean walrus
#

appreciate it

limber lion
#

In this patch crit is king because we use the frost set in raids

#

But the next patch will shake things up and we'll likely have a combination of haste/crit/mast

Female NE/BE just look so badass in xmog

Regardless of the class

I also play female Tauren, because their dance is the electric slide.

But male for Goblin, Vulpin, Troll, and Orc

#

i found out by accident

#

was running the leech gem

lyric crater
#

so we want dust should i craft it on a chest or ring

spice spire
#

Rn I wouldn’t craft anything

#

But if we did, it would probably be ring since chest is a part of the tier set

lyric crater
#

that what i was thing i have obe made a while ago just need to max it out

spice spire
#

Thing is - anything could happen between now and 9.2, so you don’t wanna get overeager in it

strange python
#

It's way too soon to craft something for 9.2

#

45 sec vendetta sounds reprehensible

obtuse robin
#

asking where to craft dusk 4 months out

#

lol

lyric crater
#

right lol better get your item before the market blows up costing u 30k the greed people will jack up the price to 70K +

obtuse robin
balmy condor
lyric crater
#

hey whispy grat on your syl kill wish u was sin those but damn 7.1k dps as sub nice

balmy condor
#

but honestly I'm waiting to craft dusk

#

until 9.2

strange python
#

If it stays like that - i dont see how anything can compete with 45 sec vendetta honestly

#

there's just no way

balmy condor
#

but yes

#

dusk is very powerful

lyric crater
#

yea ll just get the mats and hope to get a cheap 262 ring before market blows up

balmy condor
#

the market won't blow up on 262 rings

#

because people will want to buy 275's or whatever

#

if anything 262's will be cheaper

strange python
#

and what goes with it best - obviulsy 1 min flag...that's literally like what all assassination will be.

balmy condor
#

cause no one wants them

strange python
#

depressed

balmy condor
strange python
#

yeah

#

i just want something to be within like 2-3% of it honestly

lyric crater
#

ok that good lol im not that rich in wow and i do play around in the other spec still hate sub but it got great burst in pvp 🙂

strange python
#

I played sub last night for fate - i mean my numbers were good, but i just love sin more so

#

It just feels so much more consistent and 'flowey'

obtuse robin
#

sin till i reroll

lyric crater
#

yea same

strange python
#

Honestly if sin is just annoying, i have a backup enh that i could play but

lyric crater
#

sub u need to be on point so if u master it the number are there

balmy condor
#

have you tried it on ptr

strange python
#

I do see how sub can excel

#

no i haven't

#

how's it feel Whysper

hollow river
#

No maw sworn daggers data mined yet?

balmy condor
#

its good

hollow river
balmy condor
#

it's a little fast imo

#

but like

alpine latch
strange python
#

Whispyr - still feels floey and stuff though?

balmy condor
#

it's better than right now

strange python
#

no kidding

#

hrmm

#

that's good to hear

balmy condor
#

you can just open ptr and try it yourself

balmy condor
#

even without dusk

strange python
#

Like I'l literally spend hours setting my WA up to APL'ish standards so

balmy condor
#

the tier set you can just buy off a vendor

strange python
#

Don't you ahve to download a new client ?

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

you copy your interface over

strange python
#

interesting

#

I might read up on that

hollow river
#

I just redownloaded the main things I need for combat

#

And imported those few WAs

#

But some people have whole custom UIs I don’t

strange python
#

shoot i mean i have my addons i love (shadow uf) but all i really need is WA

balmy condor
#

wa's transfer over without even a copy

#

like if you log in it the weakauras should already be there

strange python
#

oh nie

#

nice

alpine latch
#

I'm unoriginal. I just run Bloodfang

#

I'm just saying - I scrolled up for the last 10-ish xmogs and none of them are rogues

normal mist
#

Bad day probably, in good days there are a lot there xD

#

also check transmog pins

#

there were 2 transmog comps already

#

JJ even made videos of the top 10

nocturne geode
#

pending tier stuff though wouldnt dusk on chest be more ideal?

oak sky
#

tbh it probably depends on gear ilvl and stats

nocturne geode
#

yea but rings dont have main stat and chest is the biggest contender there

bleak ledge
#

Whats the time range for holding vendetta/flag for CD sync? ~20 secs?

#

Getting back to my rogue rn and I have just been using both on CD thus far

oak sky
#

what legendary?

oak sky
#

its gonna depend a little

#

outlaw runs celerity on ring

nocturne geode
#

perfect stated rings are a dime a dozen lol

bleak ledge
#

free gem on leggo rings

#

as well

oak sky
#

bottom line is wait and see

limber lion
oak sky
#

@bleak ledge anyways you would only sync your first and last casts, but with obedience you probably would wait around 10s

nocturne geode
limber lion
#

Yeah it's a good choice without any risks

#

You'll be fine crafting it on a ring

#

but then again the patch is not dropping until like march or something

#

so no reason to even craft anything until then

#

and once the patch drops, we'll know better

oak sky
#

every week on ptr we get more info just keep holding out peepohappy

limber lion
#

But like Agreon said, generally just syncing the last cast is a safe bet.

oak sky
#

yeah that doesnt work on every fight timer but it works on most fight timers

limber lion
#

On Sylv p3 you would send the first 1 vend/2flag, but sync the last 2.

#

for an example

bleak ledge
#

yee ive just been clearing heroic on it right now, trying to get it into mythic ready gear. Generally only get 2 sync usages

limber lion
#

but it's not too too important. just sending it on cd is a safe bet

#

Doesn't really change much

#

You don't need to worry about it, unless you're sitting at full pink 99 logs and are looking to push even harder.

dawn ivy
#

ive just been syncing during p3, so much clutter it always feels like i wont get full value out of pre casting it

limber lion
#

You want full value

#

but you want to sync the last 2

#

but not the first few

#

So there are moments where you'd have to hold either flag or vend

#

before she casts veil

#

but yeah, even if you sync everything or send everything on cd, it doesn't make much of a difference there.

#

with good gear you'll be doing 10k+ regardless.

bleak ledge
#

cant wait to get geared up, was pulling between 7-7.5k just as 234 with pretty crappy trinkets

gusty mirage
#

@limber lion stares at his 8k p3 dps sad

drifting cloud
bleak ledge
#

Another question about shiv windows: use it on CD even if it would overcap combo points? Found trying to hold it for non-overcap cost me a bunch of casts and made rotation clunkier (bad syncs with garrote and rupture)

limber lion
#

at least you have a steady income and a big dick

limber lion
#

You can try to play around it by building to 2-3 combo points before Shiv comes up instead of all the way to 4-5

#

that way you can slam it the second it comes off cooldown and don't risk overcapping cp

#

You just need to be wary of your Shiv cooldown and thinking about what you're doing 5 seconds before it comes off cooldown.

nocturne geode
#

feels good to have cev back to posting with us

limber lion
#

Pressing Rupture/Garrote during it is completely fine, don't worry about it.

oak sky

cev never left he just left the game

went through heroic as nf lastnight in a parse run wasnt as bad as i thought it would turn out lol all 95-99's ez

#

now all i get left is kyrian to run through then ive done them all for research purposes ofc

oak sky
#

research

nocturne geode
#

haha its just a goal ;3

oak sky
#

nah im trollin hope ur having fun

nocturne geode
#

it was kinda bonkers to see that AA damage as nf w all that haste tho

#

limited my self to 1 pi on pull w lust

#

yuge haste value

glass tulip
#

imagine being able to get PI from your priests cryingstitch

oak sky
#

imagine having priests omegalul

hollow river
#

Imagine wanting that dirty cheater ability omegalul

nocturne geode

i mean i treat my priests w respect so they show me love sometimes

#

🙂

hollow escarp

our warlocks are greedy whores

nocturne geode

get pi w kindness

hollow river
#

I was getting PI on 2nd boss burn for sylv

oak sky
glass tulip
#

now kindred affinity buff

#

that feels real nice

hollow river
#

Now we just give it to demo the entire pull and fire mage on boss burns SucksMan

nocturne geode
#

firemage omegalul

hollow river
#

Yep if he hasn’t run off the platform

nocturne geode
#

i need pi to cast my non instant pyros faster

#

fuck that

hollow river
#

Well it’s for Combust

#

So they’re instant ig

nocturne geode
#

still wierd

hollow river
#

Not really

oak sky
#

if it gets them an extra pyro its pretty ridiculous

hollow river
#

Fire mage is basically #1 pi target rn

#

Besides maybe boomie inside CD

nocturne geode
#

i thought boomy was

oak sky
#

fire demo maybe venthyr boomie yeah

hollow river
#

Yeah

oak sky
#

poor unholy dk

#

fell off + L

hollow river
#

But if u pi boomie with every CD and only have 1 priest

#

You lose pi casts

nocturne geode
#

have a warrior tank running necro for parse runs for us was fun too

hollow river
#

Also boomies on sylv aren’t doing boss dam solely except p3

nocturne geode
#

mastery ;D

hollow river
#

They’re doing chains and adds n shit

#

Our RL is prot warrior

#

Other tank is Druid

nocturne geode
#

is he kyrian

hollow river
#

P3 is rough on them

#

Nah he was NF for the blink

nocturne geode
#

?

#

lol

hollow river
#

He went necro for shield

nocturne geode
#

could have buffed you

#

if kyrian

hollow river
#

Nah

nocturne geode
#

🙂

hollow river
#

We aren’t CE

#

We’re not parsing

oak sky
#

wait whos necro?

hollow river
#

Bear

oak sky
#

i thought they were mostly fae

hollow river
#

He was

oak sky
#

its big dam

hollow river
#

He went necro for flesh craft

#

To help him in p3

#

Dmg ain’t our issue lol

oak sky
#

bear is so tanky already

hollow river
#

Keeping tanks alive in p3 has become our wall

oak sky
#

o

hollow river
#

Yep

#

I’m just on this train

#

Waiting for CE

oak sky
#

have you hit 4th plat yet?

hollow river
#

Ready to jump off while we cross a 700ft bridge

#

Twice

oak sky
#

oh ur practically there

hollow river
#

57% PB

#

Nah dude

grim tangle
#

we had issues with a tank dying and after we got CE we replaced him with a better tank who wasn't even CE and he had no issues dying P3

hollow river
#

Tuesday and Wednesday we hit plat 4 once a night

#

Hit p3 80% of pulls

oak sky
#

4th plat is easy you just need cds and stuff ready, then you just need to manage death knives

hollow river
#

Thursday we hit p3 like 2-3 fucking times bro

oak sky
#

yeah theres always rough days

hollow river
#

Everyone just shit the bed

oak sky
#

we had our fair share

hollow river
#

450 pulls bro

oak sky
#

only takes 1

hollow river
#

At this point I know this fight as well as I know my rotation

#

I know every bleed refresh

#

Every shiv

#

Every mfd snipe

#

Our monk is going to be out this week

#

Fire mage and a boomie too I think

oak sky
#

all week?

hollow river
#

Mostly yea

#

Idk if we’ll even get to raid

oak sky
#

well

#

ur for sure getting ce

#

tons of time left

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

When I dip

strange python
#

Just reading the analysis of the logs for last week in raid...didn't know assassination was #1 dang! I didn't know it hit that hard!

#

Here I am staying sub this whole time. Lol

limber lion
#

the thing is

#

assassination needs a bit of help

nocturne geode
#

that all were good at

limber lion
#

and with help it gets good

#

which means

#

if you're getting KA, Assa is the way to go

balmy condor
#

there's a bit of PI inflation there as well

#

sub will never get a PI

drifting cloud
#

never hmm

balmy condor
#

well

#

anything is possible in top 100

#

but it certainly swings for sin

drowsy parcel
#

delete externals

shy basin
#

Have any sims been ran on the auto attack ring from court of stars since legion time walking is tomorrow?

slow marsh
#

no

shy basin
#

Alright ty just wanted to check to see if its worth farming yet

slow marsh
#

Since they changed the way that the AA ring works (doing flat damage increase instead of %) it hasn't worked in raidbots

#

It will be worth farming faulty countermeasure though

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

externaletus deletus

lean fossil
#

so do we have a break down of the items that are good to farm from the time walking dungeons?

#

for legion

slow marsh
drowsy parcel
#

yeah its @limber lion

glass tulip
#

I feel like the TW items are coming at a time that they literally dont matter

slow marsh
glass tulip
#

most likely irrelevant by the next time Legion timewalking is out anway in 9.2, if ilvls scale you'll have to refarm anyway

slow marsh
limber lion
slow marsh
#

Imagine getting 32 externals on sylv and still not getting top 3

glass tulip
#

Now the real #1s are the guys in like 10th place with no externals

nocturne geode
#

^

oak sky
#

top 10 is still attainable on every boss i think

slow marsh
#

I dont

oak sky
#

ur coping then

nocturne geode
#

there should just be a seperate section one for no externals one for externals imo

grim tangle
#

depends which guild you're in, so many guilds stop damage, impossible to get top 10 that way

oak sky
#

oh sure

glass tulip
oak sky
#

i just meant generally possible

nocturne geode
glass tulip
#

someone get wcl on the phone, that was a banger idea right there

slow marsh
#

I mean Kyrian + PI is 7-8 externals alone

oak sky
#

and most of the players getting a bunch of externals are bad

slow marsh
#

well yeah look at all of them still playing vigor

nocturne geode
#

its just a pain in the neck looking at logs to see where you at compared to others when you have to look through lists of externals tied in

glass tulip
#

dont hate on vigor

oak sky
#

its just an incorrect talent, thats all

slow marsh
#

No vigor should be hated on whne you're talking about "top 10"

#

Then we get people coming into disc saying stuff like "I see people talking about how mfd is better than vigor but all the top logs still play vigor"

oak sky
#

its starting to catch on

limber lion
#

Vigor is just worse

oak sky
#

outside RH i mean

limber lion
#

Too bad not having externals is even worse.

alpine latch
#

"Better" is subjective anyway. Dashing Scoundrel is "better" than Obedience for me. The damage difference is also like 30 DPS.

glass tulip
#

opener just feels bad without vigor but im also bad

alpine latch
#

And sometimes it's better to pick the pick the "wrong" talent you can play at a higher level

slow marsh
#

mfd vs vigor isn't subjectively better though, it's better in every way unless you're just not good enough to press it on cd

glass tulip
#

pressing opener at a snails pace with mfd

slow marsh
#

Like mfd is better even without resets so there's no real excuse

alpine latch
#

Hmm, let me run a sim and see the difference

oak sky
#

not playing mfd just means ur unwilling to leave your comfort zone to optimize

#

which is fine

#

but

#

ur just not optimal

drifting cloud
#

the 1 extra button is just too much for this high speed spec PepLaugh

slow marsh
#

wElL aCtUaLlY

#

It's 2 extra buttons since you press torrent in opener instead of later

nocturne geode
#

just 1 button for me imma goblin

#

jokes on you

#

🙂

drifting cloud
#

I forgot rogues auto spawn as blood elves

#

my bad

glass tulip
#

goblin these nuts

slow marsh
drifting cloud
#

I see you havent simmed races in a while

#

give it a try for your strict dps pick

glass tulip
#

I simmed orc vs BE and it was a 3 dps difference

nocturne geode
#

actually z troll is the play

#

if your really min maxing

#

paku ftw

oak sky
#

my 15 dps

#

i am unoptimized

nocturne geode
#

sadge

slow marsh
#

na mog is + 200 dps they just dont include it in the sims cuz it would make people feel bad

oak sky
#

brb spending $25 to play zandalari

nocturne geode
#

you wont

oak sky
#

well, since 9.2 might change stat priority

drifting cloud
#

race change is 25

oak sky
#

no, i won't

drifting cloud
nocturne geode
#

goblin is long term play

slow marsh
#

I would maybe race change for 100

nocturne geode
#

haste 😄

alpine latch
#

That's the epitome of a sidegrade

slow marsh
#

Except it's not because one reset pushes it even higher

oak sky
#

your gear might also be optimized for vigor to some extent

slow marsh
#

It's just playing something strictly worse for the sake of not wanting to do something different

#

idk

#

Just a bad mindset to have imo

oak sky
#

ok iceblades

#

lets make a deal

#

both of us race change

#

to whatever sims highest

alpine latch
#

If there were a tangible difference in DPS, I'd 100% do it. But for 15 DPS? Why?

oak sky
#

in the name of optimization

alpine latch
#

I already spend 70k gold to gain ~40 DPS

nocturne geode
#

technically its free to race change outside your time if you sell m+

#

🤔

oak sky
#

no time for boosts

slow marsh
#

K I will as long as we sim it without dom shards tho

alpine latch
#

You're still paying in gold, which has value

oak sky
#

next patch

slow marsh
#

Bet

gusty mirage
#

the real #1 sin rogue is me

#

cuz I'm cuter than everyone else

#

change my mind

oak sky
drifting cloud
#

I cant blusher

slow marsh
#

Uhhhhh can't think of anything either

gusty mirage
#

what I lack in dps I make up for in eye candy

nocturne geode
#

pics or fakenews

gusty mirage
slow marsh
# oak sky next patch

I guess this gives me something to do instead of waiting around for ptr stuff since I dont have any horde races unlocked

oak sky
#

i really dont either

#

i have nightborne

glass tulip
#

so the opener change with mfd is this?
vigor: mut - snd - mut - garrote - flag- rupture - mut - vendetta - shiv - vanish - env - mut - env - [rotation]
mfd: mut - snd - mut - arcane torrent - garrote - flag- rupture - mut - vendetta - shiv - vanish - env - mut - env - MFD - env - [rotation]

gusty mirage
#

well the bot sends mfd env as the 2nd envenom but cev and I have talked about it extensively

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

and I think mut > env > mut > env > mfd > env is better

#

like Cev was sayin

limber lion
#

Using MA to get 2 Mutilates off is better for CP generation which generally means more damage, especially with Flag

gusty mirage
#

mut - > env x2 in the MA window will also get you to 27-30 stacks consistently

glass tulip
#

I see, I guess I get stuck on wanting 2 MA envenoms

oak sky
#

this is my sim for mfd its pretty significant

limber lion
#

Yeah, I would do Vend - Shiv - Vanish - Muti - Env - Muti - Env - MfD - Env as well

gusty mirage
#

I believer @limber lion prayge

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

bot does it during MA window for better CD line-ups

#

and because it hates holding CDs

limber lion
#

Yeah

drifting cloud
#

yeah the 3rd env with mfd makes using it prepull even easier, think it works out with 15s pull timer

oak sky
#

maybe with gear mfd gets better and better than vigor, maybe my gear is more optimized since ive been running it

#

@alpine latch but for me its like 80 dps

drifting cloud
#

or maybe it has to be 20, but you can just guess before pull timer is going up after ready check anyways

slim jay
#

Any spec going to pull ahead with set bonus or are the specs all still close

oak sky
#

22s

gusty mirage
#

but 25s is like the "safe" part

oak sky
#

22s is for snd prepull

drifting cloud
#

nah you def dont need 22

oak sky
#

you do

gusty mirage
#

idk I can't start a pull with snd running

oak sky
#

to mfd at the right time

gusty mirage
#

my brain turns to mush

oak sky
#

30s cd

gusty mirage
#

mut > snd > mut is just so ingrained in my smooth brain

drifting cloud
#

yeah but listen, every guild is gonna do ready check into pull after its done

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

globals up to mfd is

drifting cloud
#

just be the last 2-3 to say yes

press mfd after 5s you press yes

alpine latch
drifting cloud
#

worst case your mfd comes back up before you have to use it anyways

oak sky
#

mut snd mut garrote rupture shiv mut envenom which is 8s

#

30-8 is 22s prepull

oak sky
glass tulip
#

I'll play mfd tonight and see how it goes

nocturne geode
#

why not open w garrote?if not running subf

gusty mirage
#

cuz mutilate is more damage

drifting cloud
glass tulip
#

dont need the empowered garrote, MA mutilates are more valuable

nocturne geode
#

was just curious

oak sky
#

to be honest i think the prepull is more trouble than its worth

#

its actually saving you 1 global

drifting cloud
#

its really not any trouble at all 😄

shut garnet
#

id guess its also cuz garrote is a nice 1CP filler to slap on top of the 2nd 4CP mut into gar and 5CP rupt

#

otherwise ud have to 4cp rupt

drifting cloud
#

like I said worst case you just do it normally

jaunty steeple
#

Garrote can't give extra crit CPs since it has no initial damage, right?

oak sky
#

you have to ask your raid for a 25s pull timer and its also negligible gain

oak sky
nocturne geode
#

i mean sometime if your mut does crit your getting 3cp anyways garrote would put you at 4

drifting cloud
#

you literally dont need 25s

nocturne geode
#

doesnt*

jaunty steeple
gusty mirage
#

it's unlucky rng to get 3

#

esp when most of us are running around at 90%+ crit in MA window

nocturne geode
#

happens alot tho

gusty mirage
#

it can sure

#

but if you're running 40% base crit you'll get more 4cp mutilates than 3

#

esp in MA window

alpine latch
#

I've had neither crit before

#

And it feels fucking awful

nocturne geode
#

gusty mirage
#

have you ever hda 2 in a row parried?

#

because that's worse I assure you 🙂

alpine latch

On Sylv, yes

#

Fuck that fight

painsmith and sylv specials

alpine latch

lol

lol parry

gusty mirage

boss is literally rotating constantly

strange python

i hate that

alpine latch

My Painsmith special is being the one with less than 30 pulls and being one of 5 people to survive intermission

strange python
#

i've had MA mutilates give me 2 cp

jaunty steeple

can't fucking see where she's facing either

my painsmith special is having a ball parry me

#

that was cool

Get rekt nerd

That's hilarious actually

gusty mirage

didn't even know it was fucking possible

drifting cloud
#

oxi whats your new guild called

gusty mirage
#

but thanks to atrocity UI I'm well aware of every single parry now

#

Back in March

#

on US Illidan

jaunty steeple

same with the goddamn Eye mobs in the raid

#

how the fuck does a floating eye ball parry

gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

did yours disband?

gusty mirage
#

nah I decided to move up about 400 wr

drifting cloud
#

I saw alot of people left, maybe someone was just cleaning house

gusty mirage
#

they're still raiding tomorrow afaik

drifting cloud
#

from alts

gusty mirage
#

ye RL cleared out a 3 people and a bunch of their alts

oak sky
#

back in march

gusty mirage
#

then booted me and removed me from the guild

oak sky
drifting cloud
#

wait what

gusty mirage
#

LOL

#

yeah I told him I got an offer for a guild that I'm taking

drifting cloud
#

oh like that, I see

gusty mirage
#

and just insta gkicked me when he logged in next

oak sky
#

weirdo

nocturne geode
#

wierd champ

gusty mirage
#

then he asked the dude that joined the guild with me if he was sticking around

nocturne geode
#

i almost raided there too

gusty mirage
#

and then booted him when the guy said he's looking at other guilds

nocturne geode
#

but decided not to app back then lol

gusty mirage
#

there's a lot of good dudes in that guild still, I won't talk bad about them. But there was some stuff I didn't agree with and decided to take another opportunity

nocturne geode
#

happens

#

i just like raiding with new people so after a couple/few tiers i generally move on

oak sky
#

if i wasnt interested in pushing up i would probably just stick with a guild

nocturne geode
#

ive never left on bad terms

#

could go anywhere ive raided previously imo

strange python
#

What is considered a "good guild" like in your guys' eyes -- top US 100, top US 1000, etc...

drifting cloud
#

subjective

oak sky
#

thats gonna depend on the person yeah

grim tangle
#

depends how much hours a week they raid

alpine latch
#

For me a good guild is a guild where your goals match the guilds AND you have friends in that guild.

#

If your goal is to be in the RWF, then good for you is top 10

gusty mirage
#

hardest part about moving is not raiding with the people you became friends with tbh

oak sky
#

yeah

#

im gonna miss the boys

alpine latch
#

If your goal is to get 3-4 bosses in Mythic every tier, than a good guild for you is a guild that's getting 3-4 bosses every tier

gusty mirage
#

but my only objective answer to that would be: A guild that has a goal in mind and sticks to that goal

#

like if you advertise yourself as an aotc guild and try to force people into mythic raiding... you're not very good

subtle stream
#

good guild = limited drama, goals of individual are a close approximation of the goals of the raid group, and you don't see logging in as a chore.

gusty mirage
#

it gets murky with middle-lower tier mythic raiding

#

because ideally most of the people who WANT to mythic raid want to try for CE

oak sky
#

even with these objective definitions everyone here probably has a different idea of what a good guild means

clever kindle
#

but mid tier guilds suffer from talent vacuum from the guilds above

glass tulip
#

I just got a friend request from an alliance guild, imagine swapping to ally to mythic raid OMEGAKEKW

oak sky
#

won't have to soon

clever kindle
#

poaching is the norm for guilds of a certain level because theyre picking people out individually who are standouts in guilds on their servers etc

COPIUM wow 2 with alliance and horde cross faction raiding

Probably good, especially if you have same ilvl

Otherwise wait for definite sims

what ilvl will it even come as?

you can upgrade it to 246 and most likely socket it

What if I already tried only to find every other mmo is dogshit

Well I did have the #1 raiding guild crown in SWTOR until that shit died because no one told Bioware you have to create content for your games after it releases

not sure why I thought 8

There was never a time where they hand't "grabbed it"

#

EA has owned Bioware since 2007 and The Old Republic came out in 2011

visual prairie
#

grab my bioware

slow marsh
#

They had a lot of hype when it first launched then when there was no content and they started dropping players they moved towards a more single player vibe and killed it themselves

#

Had nothing to do with ea

alpine latch
#

I've heard that the game has gotten a lot better over the last year or two

#

But if I quit WoW I'm going to FF and calling it a day

slow marsh
#

I tried it last year for a bit and there's just nobody playing it + it's still so janky

alpine latch
#

I have a buddy that has been playing it and really likes it.

slow marsh
#

People complain about how FF feels a bit janky compared to wow....swtor is even worse

alpine latch
#

I actually prefer FFXIV to WoW, but until my friends quit WoW I'll be playing this

nocturne geode
#

the gcd on FF is sadge

alpine latch
#

That's not really an issue after a bit

#

Like 2/3 of your kit is off GCD

slow marsh
#

Once you get oGCD it doesn't matter

nocturne geode
alpine latch
#

yeah

#

The game really speeds up after ARR

#

I've only finished ARR and I'm not even halfway through Heavensward... It's already a lot faster and the story beats anything Blizzard has done.

slow marsh
#

I don't like the 123 aspect of gameplay

alpine latch
#

I just like the community

#

Everyone's just nicer

slow marsh
#

I also don't care about story at all so for me it's just gameplay diffy

alpine latch
#

yeah

#

I enjoy story-driven games

#

That's originally why I got into MMOs in the first place

strange python
#

Hate the gcd, don’t like the aesthetic, don’t care about story, pressing buttons doesnt feel good

“Return to the waking sands” invokes ptsd within me

hollow river

Well you’re supposed to double/triple weave your GCDs

#

Seems interesting

strange python
#

Is better to use flage on cd or wait for vendetta?

gusty mirage
#

on cd

#

we only sync them when we know we won't miss a cast

#

so usually the last one

strange python
#

Ok i get it thanks.

gusty mirage
split grail
#

Do I open with ambush as Venthyr?

ebon notch
#

!opener

oak sky
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used from blindside/sepsis proc, not from stealth.
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3).
Some other factors to consider are increased poison applications, blindside, and doomblade. This is true for all talent combinations and legendaries.

ebon notch
#

@oak sky noob

oak sky
#

its been a while

kindred rapids
#

I thought there was new ambush tech

split grail
#

ty

gusty mirage
#

you can open with ambush

#

but it's such an insignificant amount of dps

#

that it doesn't matter

#

@split grail for venthyr w/ mfd it's:
mut > snd > mut > gar > flag > rupture > vendetta > shiv > vanish > mut > envenom > mut > envenom > mfd > envenom

#

it'll open a bit slower than if you were playing w/ vigor

split grail
#

ty again

gusty mirage
#

np whispyrheart

prisma carbon
#

isn't that an extra mut > envenom ?

gusty mirage
#

nah, the bot just mfd envenom's in the MA window to better sync CDs

#

and it hates holding CDs

#

you can do either way tbh, but getting both mutilates in the MA window is more consistent for flag stacks

#

@limber lion schooled me on it about 2-3 weeks ago

prisma carbon
#

i see

winter vapor
#

so, im kinda holding back my mythic+ group im getting stuck around the 7k marker on our 18+

#

is it possible im spreading too many/maintaining too many ruptures when I should be envenoming more?

#

also sucking Sylv - which I do have a log for if anyone is feeling happy enough to review

hollow river
#

If you post the log I’m sure someone will help

#

Also for m+ you always spread dots on everything alive unless it’s going to die very soon for you have a priority target

#

Like a boss or a Torment, with a pack of mobs pulled on top

winter vapor
#

ah so look for a soft cap - the 5 pack in ToP for example popped garrote opener then CT and pumped captain

#

but otherwise just DoT everything and maintain SnD I guess

#

ty btw

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

Np

#

If stuff dies very soon I wouldn’t waste combo points on ruptures

#

If there’s a last mob or two just about to die, and you’re energy starved but your tank is chain pulling you can low cp rupture a mob for energy refund

winter vapor
jaunty steeple
#

why do you have Shard of Bek on, but no Shard of Dyz

winter vapor
#

Bek simmed better, only have 4 shard spots

jaunty steeple
#

Sylv has no execute tho

winter vapor
#

ah where did I put that face palm emote.

jaunty steeple
#

not a huge issue, I just happened to notice it

winter vapor
#

no no, your spot on, cheers

#

always forget her special HP pool

copper sundial
#

thing still works on p2 adds afaik

hollow river
#

Yeah for M sylv prog we don’t use Bek either we all use an extra healing type shard

oak sky
#

nahhhh unholy aura for sure

#

it actually doesnt matter

jaunty steeple
oak sky
#

make sure you press it on cd

#

also in your opener you delay your vendetta shiv to get a mutilate in first

#

that can cause you to lose casts

#

you kinda want them out quick

hollow river
#

You mean a mut after flag-rupture?

spice spire
gusty mirage

Bro?

nocturne geode
winter vapor
#

thanks @oak sky @slow marsh @spice spire, I'll try adjust the opener. I will also be more mindful of not missing shiv. Problem I have with CD's atm is I only get flag back up again in p1. Previously Vend wasnt back up for 1st burn in phase 2

#

then they're screwing up again in p2 if I use vendetta on the final set of adds, it isnt up for p3 first platform

halcyon zealot
#

i think specifically for Slyv CD planning you should find out when your Hero is going to be (like what platform and rough time into fight) and then know you want your 2 mins up for that and then from there work backwards for the rest of your uses if that makes sense

winter vapor
#

its usually 1/3

regal star
#

what % crit is the target?

gusty mirage
#

however much top gear says you should have

#

but typically with frost set you're aiming for around or above 40%

regal star
#

Do we fill with haste/vers after hitting that?

oak sky
#

you want haste next most but its best to just follow top gear

50% crit or bust

AUTO ATTACK RING FARMING POGGIES

kindred rapids
#

How good is ring

gusty mirage
#

no one knows yet, should be equal to a bis 252

kindred rapids
#

It's still not simming properly right?

#

Trinket is a 200 DPS upgrade for me, probably farm that first

gusty mirage
#

ye raidbots isn't putting the effect in yet

kindred rapids
#

Doubt the ring effect could be worth that much

burnt latch
#

Ohh r the new legion pieces on raidbots now?

#

Probably not simming correctly yet as they werent tested too extensively on the ptr correct?

burnt latch
#

Ah alright so the trinkets etc should be simming accurately?

gusty mirage
#

afaik yeah

burnt latch
#

Guess we go countermeasure hunting tomorrow with the new mythic dagger ill def vault tomorrow COPIUM

#

Seemed to be around 100 dps better than 252 guardian trinket for me

subtle tundra
#

watch me get guardian trinket from vault tomorrow when a better trinket becomes available

burnt latch
#

idk if a 246 trinket is simming 100 dps better than the best trinket in the game at 252 ilvl, sounds like there might be some nerfing happening to it

#

just my guess tho

hollow escarp
burnt latch
#

lmao

hollow escarp
#

the autoattack ring seems to be "dps loss"

burnt latch
#

its not simming with the effect

hollow escarp
#

-16

limber lion
#

Don't think it's implemented correctly.

hollow escarp
#

aah

#

well, then it's clearly better

#

than what I have

burnt latch
#

most likely yeah, it sounds really strong for most melee classes tbf

gusty mirage
#

I just want to know if we can use the socket item on it

#

if not, I'm not going to bother

burnt latch
#

its a shadowlands season 2 item

#

so most likely yes

#

afaik u can socket korthia pieces too

hollow escarp
#

if you can use valor to upgrade it, I think we can socket them

burnt latch
#

ye thats my thinking

hollow escarp
#

or maybe they will just titanforge again

strange python
#

So we should farm wardens and CoS?

I’ll sim myself anyway, since I have every myth loot LESS DAGGERS 🔪🔪🔪

I got research 5 weeks in a row

no wait I took tarragrue bracers for mog

How much crit does the frost shards need to be better ? is there a specific amount they start pulling ahead?

gusty mirage

typically around 40ish%

odd hazel

Thanks!

im assuming IQD gets a lot of value with it as well ?

balmy condor
odd hazel
#

OOF

#

good thing i have a Fusion amplifier+Shadowgrasp right?.....becool

#

Yeah countermeasure still better than fusion amp tho

hollow escarp
#

it's fine, amp on cd and totem after flag

odd hazel
#

yeah, it doesnt feel to bad honestly

slow marsh
#

Ye go sim it

hollow escarp
#

252 amp gives me like 80 dps while the countermeasure is 186 PepeLaugh

#

that's over gland + phial 252

gusty mirage
#

people just hate it for whatever reason

slow marsh
#

Countermeasure is just a better fusion amp until we lose dom shards

odd hazel
#

surely thats a bug though

slow marsh
#

Why

odd hazel
#

isnt that a time walking trinket? lol

slow marsh
#

Yeah

pugging vaults though

So is there alot of things that is simmed for the legion instances that are better than our ”full bis” as it is now?

2 things

#

Trinket and ring

vaults and court of stars YEP

quasi venture
#

Ye ring i figured but What trinket?

And another trinket if you really don't have good luck with them

strange python
#

Do you think they will tune faulty? +90 increase for me lul

slow marsh
#

Why would they

hollow escarp
quasi venture
#

Thank you

strange python
#

Cause 246 > 252 current raid

#

Dunno

slow marsh
#

Oh you mean like how 246 phial is better than most stuff in the raid

strange python
#

Yeah but it’s current xpac

quasi venture
#

So its phial faulty? Or amp faulty nyanquestionwut

strange python
#

I don’t know blizz just do weird things

#

Phial faulty

slow marsh
#

That trinket is the only reason I will bother with the legion time walking. If there's wasn't incentive then why would anyone play it

subtle tundra
#

do we know if we get an additional legion keystone in our inventory or is the same as the shadowlands one?

gusty mirage
#

well technically m+ timewalking is also current xpac

strange python
#

I guess they share use, amp and faulty

people simply dont take kindly to baseless claims like this, whether its in relation to rogue theorycrafting or other wow-related information that is being presented as fact without any sources or data to back it up

Blizzard always says the good things, actually, they “accomplished their objective”

tropic ocean

as sub is shared anyway

subtle tundra

you are inferior to me

#

👍

#

pretty amazing considering how bad of a week it is

marble hemlock
#

so bringing up a contentious point like "whats the size of the playerbase right now" theres a lot of people having an opinion. doesnt mean that any of them are resembling the truth. not like playerbase-size is in any way relevant to whether or not the game "feels dead"

#

500k players playing 10hrs a day will feel more alive and active than 2million players playing 1hr a day

odd hazel
#

the game is more the nfine tbh

hollow escarp
#

also you can still have fun playing the game while acknowledging the flaws it has

odd hazel
#

you'll find plenty to do things with

#

even during its lowest point ( WoD,etc ) it was really never "dead"

marble hemlock
#

turning warmode on and going to farm some maw-rifts i get ganked by full alliance raids camping korthia. makes the game feel more alive than i thought it was, didnt even know theres still 40 people left on alliance

odd hazel
#

me swiching from stormrage to area-52 feels bad

subtle tundra
#

just wished they'd hurry up on that cross faction stuff

odd hazel
#

meh on that point honestly

hollow escarp
marble hemlock
#

thinking crossfaction is gonna fix some of the issues is just coping, honestly

subtle tundra
#

its borderline impossible to make alliance real now

odd hazel
#

i mean, stormrage is 90% ally

marble hemlock
#

its not like most people even have contacts to the other faction that they would love to play with, but cant right now.

strange python
#

Anyway didn’t mean that wow was dead, but clearly more desd than 1 year ago, didn’t want to make the boys go extra salty with the ironies 😛

marble hemlock
#

you mean to say that

odd hazel
#

it certainly isnt "dead"

hollow escarp
#

well, not sure what issues it will fix, but at least I can play night elf again

marble hemlock
#

the game has less active players now, than 2weeks after the expansion release?

#

the sky is blue, too

odd hazel
#

i dont think people know what dead means.

strange python
#

Okay, put it on 2 years then

subtle tundra
tropic ocean
#

cross faction to finally go night elf prayge

odd hazel
#

it probably has about the same amount of players melk

marble hemlock
#

bfa felt more dead to me than SL still does

#

for what its worth

strange python
#

Wow 😂😂😂

#

Okay nothing more to say then

odd hazel
#

possibly more tbh since its talking about BfA

subtle tundra
#

bfa had worse systems than sl

marble hemlock
#

(and im not basing that on clickbaity youtube videos, but people engaging with content that i have actual view-metrics for)
