Thank you ! I went through my spellbook but couldn't find that icon - I'll give the addon a go - my rogue is a boosted character so i've zero experience - and Hekili should help a bit early on 🙂
You can't even finish MT wym
Hop on and i’ll show you the runs it’s imposisble to do if you focus all vendettas on jarl
What’s yo overall for dps lil boi
Whats up with all pepega moments today :pepeclown-1:
It's a havoc player clearly
Fair. Just try not to build bad habits and remember to take the training wheels off whenever you're ready
Let me see if you’re about that life

What was your overall dps son
That’s what i thought @slow marsh
Who even are you
the guy got out of bed with the wrong foot obviously
yo is this a “post wcl” angle
lol!
I'd love to have the confidence to spend 16 hours doing sin mage challenge and then come out swinging when people tell him to check a guide
Like I'm flattered to be getting @ over and over but really
If not doing every activity that rewards with character customization undermined our performances in 'actual' content, I'd be a really bad rogue player
Maybe I am 
@oak sky hi 
It was like this in legion too for what it’s worth
People coming in complaining it’s too hard, blaming everything except themselves
Not complaining it’s hard for shit
Might’ve been worse in legion honestly because gear was actually huge for it
Cause it didn’t scale
I keep dying after jarl dies and caster hits 9% instead of 7% woth overall 1.1k
Yeah, reading class discords has never been so much fun
Close to a kill!
When i’v watched vods of ppl getting it at 950 overall
class discords the first month of a new tier is where it peaks
Hi guys, if I'm reading the pin correctly we will be crafting our cov legendary on a belt in 9.2 correct?
Just git gud idk
Yeh
Maybe, depends on tier stats and stuff
awesome, thanks
Using some new magic thing
Simple question was vendetta the caster instead of jarl to make sure the shield isn’t absorbing more
Yet lazy pricks like @slow marsh and furry cat boi think they’re slick when they say “read a guide”
🐒
take a chill pill
Back to felhammer with you
seems like your ego is bruised from not being able to do MT , don't take it out on us
Begone
You still haven’t told me what your overall dps was, hope on a call and i’ll show you a perfect pull that proves it’s impossible to beat it if you keep using vendetta on jar
Or pipe down next you and your wannabe furry pet

It was 1.2k
Just be better and you'll get it pal
I didn’t drums, didn’t use unbridled, and had meh trinkets
So
I think 1.4-1.5 should be doable if you full cheese
100 dps would account for 2% on the caster so that makes sense guess i need something other than dogshit shadowlands gear
You’re so obese even your responser are slow

Still faster than your MT clear
This guy must be fatter he seems like he’s still struggling
🥰
Y’all wanna stop on your own, or do you need some help
Imma stop
Good choice
Don’t wanna have these fatties pull a muscle
You're lucky this guy holding me back
LOL WOOOOOF
imma tell you something your parents never told you; I love you 🥰
!mute @tropic fog 1h good luck on mage tower
!mute @slow marsh 1h antagonizing is a no no as well
Can he be force name changed I dont want my culture appropriated
Idk what it is about things like PTR or Magetower bringing out the worst in people
100% crit rate on bleeds, holy balls that sounds tasty
didn't venomous wounds used to give extra energy from bleed crits at some point or did I just have a fever dream?
Nah
Sin single target is 4p atm
OOOOOOOOOH rly just 1 dps 😦 for 22K
We also used to play Venom Rush as a talent, which granted more energy on VW proc.
WOW A MASTERY TIRNKET?!??!?!?? mastery is so good for assassination rogues right guys @balmy condor next tier 0% crit because of set bonus!?!?>
Cleave trinket :/
maybe thats what it was
It also used to not proc on Garrote, only rupture.
Not this shit again


@balmy condor i'm something of a mastery shill myself
i remember
the mastery copium
when we first saw set bonus
on whispyr stream
and whispyr said "you believe in the mastery dream seli?"
and i clicked the "drink water" button for 600 points to make him shut up
Once every 5 minutes
barcelona water tastes really good at least
can drink all the time to assa getting mastery stackers
or outlaw
We’re talking aqua not tequila
Common language barrier
tequila is from mexico in colombia we have aguardiente
in spain they have idk sangria
is specter of betrayal any good for mt?
what flavors are you adding?
I want to see a video of someone completing the tower with only items from Shadowlands
i did it with 1 hour of practice
its definitely very possible
@small basin what items did you use
ill show ya
I'm in mostly 252 mythic+ crap
ilvl doesnt matter -.-
dom slots are disabled
all that matters is socketed gear and tertiary
I know, having extra stats is how you cheese the system with over budgeted items
I'm saying I want to see it done without doing that
how's it cheesing?
most important thign is bleeds bleeds bleeds
CT garrote and rupture
on all targets
kidney on cd unless the rage is coming
with internal bleeding
@subtle tundra I mean using old pieces with 3 sockets
you dont need any old expansion stuff
and i was talking about shadowlands gear
at all
Do we only kshot the jarl?
yea
Wouldn't that hit dr
i only kidney'd the enrage
Okay
thats 15 seconds of uptime
yeah you have 2 mins between the first and second enrage
so use kidney for damage and to reduce damage taken
Does he always enrage at a specific time?
its a scripted fight
addon
it shows you the timers
literal dance
yeah
I have dbm but it wasn't giving any warnings
also if you didnt know
they share health
no need to focus low hp or anything
just hit whatever
yeah i just focued the caster as its easier to kick then
as you're gonna be in range
I did figure that out after a number of attempts, I'm also feeling like I need a better hud because it's really hard to keep track of bleeds on all 3
tbh i mainly kept up bleeds on 2
you dont need to do it perfect
i was fucking up big time when i was doing mechanics and still finished it with 1.1k dps
I was doing about 900 but died to mechanics a lot
as its better on 3 targets
mutilate is better on 3targets, what
mutilate
its not a specific thing for this
yea its not legion/bfa anymore
I did not know this
FoK on 4+
fok is a lot worse these days
Christ.
mutilate does big dam, and has great cp generation
it has better cp generation and bigger dmg
think FoK did like 2% of my damage
wheni did it
just when i was running to the runes
Okay so I'll stay away from fok
only time i fok was when i was running for mechanics and couldnt hit mobs with mutilate
fok is fine to get deadly poison on targets as well
How long does the jarl's enrage last?
yeah but CT normally applies poisons
20s
So after the kshot, do we shiv him and just run?
evason
and kite if no evasion
kite him to one side and shadowstep to a different boss
hes probably saying shiv just for the slow
No, shiv just for crip
dont
eh you should play mind numbing
but imo numbing is better
not crip
Oh
just flat damage reduction
its like 5 seconds left on the enrage
So basically everything I was doing was wrong.
you can walk that out easily
a lot of people like that, and just call the challenge impossible
Do we run into situations where he's still enraged but there's runes on the ground
the mog is worth it, keep at it
I feel like that was happening
yes
gets frustrating when its many times a day
But not all at once
ofc not
step too
For me
Axes are also so hard to see because they don't have a ground indicator
you can tank a lot tbh
So weird to tell if they're close or far
as long as you use feint and use the healing spheres
The spheres, do they have a timer too, or random
they despawn fast
Oh
also remember to use cloak
I need that mod that counts things down, will help a lot I think
for when you either have to run over the puddles or just for oh shit button
The puddles are cancer during the runes part
yeah well cloak immunes them
Good to know
I'll give it a try tomorrow
I threw myself at the sub one and kept getting to phase 3 and instant dying
Finally had to look up the fight
Do we only have to do one for the mog?
yes
Are they all 3 supposed to go ham at the same time? I literally had all 3 ults in the same second 
And dark charge too
enrage
🤔
there's a nasty overlap about 5 minutes in
where they do all 3
and then there's a hard enrage at about 6:30
where they just enrage and spam cast
at the hard enrage the main boss just slaps you for half your hp too
i killed it just as the hard enrage happened
I was down to 160k, so I think I was fine damage wise
Just had to blind kidney blast
I was so not prepared for that 😂
so , how we setting with the new 2pc set bonus ? at least its an increase do aoe bleeds now
just checked what I do for this one, blind sigryn, kidney jarl, pump into runeseer, then run away and kite, run back to the seer, finish the shield, leave sigryn in the blind as much as possible, she then casts another one right after, you deal with it the same way, ideally jarl is dead for the second one
it doesn't do much for single target but the aoe is nice, yaeh
So The new 2pc change is when we shiv or just flat out bleed crit chance ?
Ye I was thinking something along those lines. Thanks
the time before that happens is really nice to vendetta + vanish and slam some damage to try and kill
I honestly am not paying attention to healthbars at all rn
yeah I wouldn't either
all bleeds ? like necro one bloodfang ?
but it's good to at least aim to kill jarl at around that point
correct
i thought it only affet specific rogue abilitis nice
nice just beat it
ez 8%
dude i just got so fucked
was gonna kill
boss bugs out of ring
resets and doesnt come back
dfalkjhdfakjghfdskjhgfdashkjl
play night fae 8 set if you want easy mode
read outlaw spec discussion if you want to know what it does
idk if its intended or not for it to work in mage tower though
Nah im not looking for an easy way out
Kill me please, the ring will never drop !
dw itll be nerfed to uselessness anyway
idk xD
I try mt right now and what I found is my vendetta usage are pretty bad. How do I use vendetta on a cleave fight? Do I just go hard on one target?
Yeah make sure you have dots up, vendetta, and then pump that target
so at start 3x garrot, CT for all, rupture on vendetta target and go?
muti/ fok depending on target after the garrote for 5 point ct no?
hows the new tierset looking?
not the best, i like the look of older tier sets more
Or do you mean how does it play lol
lol yea
T20 recolor and mythic sanctum are pretty cool leather looks for modern though
Blizz stated yesterday they want more feedback about the 4pc so it may go live as the bugged version or they may make it work as intended
2pc got a slight buff and now applies to all active bleeds.
So we have a 4pc that offers really strong burst and resource churn potential which gives us a new niche and buffers our ST damage more. It plays well with Venthyr if we can get them to sync with legendary.
2pc is okay. Our bleeds aren’t a big damage component in ST but making it all bleeds will shift the meta in cleave and AoE content. I believe CT is affected by it so that also changes the talent meta and potential
It’s not my most favorite tier set for rogue (I only skipped bfa as rogue) but the fact that they are very open and transparent to feedback makes me the most optimistic for this set going in
Amazing, thanks! Have been too busy with life to keep up with the game and changes lately
9.2 won't be soon
I feel it. Hopefully we know more as we get to play test it more on PTR. Two legos and implemented sims will help narrow down what is bis. I can’t speak to how we stack up against other DPS but happy with the progress
so you can relax and check whats new closer to 9.2 release
Long PTR. Settle in with some snacks
I’m so bad at the rogue MT. 😭
what's the reasoning for opening with mutilate instead of ambush?
!mut
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.
thanks brotha
also, pls don't do that
you dont even ambush from sepsis
it gets no benefit froms stealth so there for you still mutilate
no fun allowed
its one of the reasons sepsis is weaker bc there is no stealth benefit from abilities used
def an oversight of the power imo
So Obedience+Duskwalker is looking like the play so far?
yea unless they rehaul some cov/legendary cov powers
Do they need to? That combo already seems great, can't imagine what other one they would change
koji said he will do some sims this weekend
Yeah, the updated 2pc hasn't come to PTR yet, right?
for ST its the same but instead of 25, its 100% crit
so not like its hard to change i guess
what im meaning is SBS leggo is bad give literally 0 value to the cov in terms of dps gain for that cov/ sepsis power in general needs looked at maybe added value of benifit from stealth would be neat/ maybe then worth looking at benifit of leggo
also, m+ with the 2pc and zoldyck uhjdfjsgn jndfij gnsbiub
Necro stock is falling bc the sets' bleed effects don't include SBS, right?
no the legendary even by itself is 0 dps gain or trash
So Venthyr is the clear choice? 
yea bc the the stat steriod
I was trying to be Necro Sin for m+ but I just can't not be Venthyr; Flag is so nice
being able to play atleast 2 covs viably would be nice
interms of most cov powers i think most class atleast have that option even if theres a clear winner for raid
maybe we should comment on the thread to look at these outliers for cov choice
see what they do then
Well all signs point that they’ll have to rebalance legendaries for double leggo
So I wouldn’t worry too much just yet
yeah im just saying no ones mentioning this on the thread
so they might overlook it as not a prob
Because the thread is about the tier sets
Rebalancing could make Deathspike viable, but how
Not legendaries
death spike leggo needs changed completely imo
maybe for it to make deathspike itself stronger over more charges
thatd be neat
3 charges is plenty
why 5?!
literal trash
Because that was the original design, 5 charges and they cleave 2(?) more spikes iirc
i mean if they all cleave its 10
Do a lot of other classes have a Cov leggo that is pure AoE and garbage on ST? 
Then outlaw rogues we’re averaging 26k sustain aoe on ptr and it got nerfed
Woulda been the go to for assassination m+
But also obedience was significantly stronger than it is now and also got nerfed
also while sepsis is sketch the fact that the ability gives you use of a stealth ability that doesnt benefit from stealth is like ??????hello????
Tbf sepsis has always been garbage

People played fae in 9.0 because the soulbinds were stronger than the rest
idk i have a couple really good parses with it just trolling in relcears
cant have fun shit cause then its broken on outlaw so it gets nerfed for all specs
😕
(see: vanish legendaries)
They could’ve just made it so the additional spikes didn’t flurry and it would’ve been fine
But blizz is lazy or couldn’t figure out how to not have that happen
yea but that requires worK!

Yep exactly
Fucking sucks man
I was so excited for deathspike after playing with it on the ptr
im just saying the fact that thread doesnt also includes ideas on this is kinda cringe
while i do love there listening to yall feedback
I think they just kinda mailed it in on covenants
Just another borrowed power system that ended up being a snooze
thats not an excuse when others have gotten viable changes
Took almost 2/3? of the expac for them to let us freely switch and remove conduit energy
Things that they got plenty of feedback in during alpha and beta and release
again still an excuse lol
im just not good at wording things only reason i havent posted
What? What “viable” changes have others gotten to their covenant legendaries?
im talking in general
If anything the only changes to covenant legendaries have been nerfs
You can’t specify covenants and covenant legendaries and then talk about viable changes generally
That’s not even comparing the same thing
yes you can you just serperate different changes that gave options
Wat
You’re asking for a covenant legendary to be redesigned months after they already went over that stuff because some other class had a class ability or conduit changed?
How does that even work lol
maybe im not talking clearly im just sayin we went from 2-3 playable option to 1 theres an issue here
We have at earliest 3 months until 9.2, and signs are pointing at them having to rebalance legendaries at least a little bit. So maybe after they sort the mess they created with these tier sets we’ll get some looks at the covenant legendaries
yea i agree with that
im just saying noones talking about it
SO they may overlook it
Be the change you want to see in the world 

wowo
When will the toxicity end???
oxi just has special takes
we're mastery gamers next patch, right?
TRUE
Flame?
MASTER POISONER PIONEERS

Hello boys, I at the moment see myself as an average to above average mythic raiding rogue, and would like to learn how to teach myself to be better when it comes to output damage wise. The major things I've come to are; optimizing my class for max value with my raid, RNG(I don't wanna blame RNG), and of course playing my class better. Is there anything that you started doing to take you from avg or "good" to exceptional? Is there something that I am clearly doing incorrectly that I am blind to.(Did miss a vanish and a few arcane torrents).
Oh my god. That is in fact, a link.
Yeah that link is massive holy
yea don't

Damn Puff’s a homie

Ryler out here pretending he doesn’t know what he’s doing 
I dont think ive ever opened my logs
Yeah cuz you’re a god tier gamer
Cries in 18 attempts in Vault with no trinket even dropping
dont worry blizz is gonna ban it
Maybe if I never get it, they’ll leave it alone
but then Id have to farm it
Okay okay you convinced me. Back to the grind
or well I probably wouldnt but you get the idea

I did tank last boss in a 10 when the 2 people died to the wall, fun dungeon
I got a 6 for ya, Oxi.
You too? 
Go ahead & hop in.
got rid of pins
I can’t anymore. It got so bad I voluntarily booted up Diablo 3
would anyone be willing to make a post on my behalf that is better worded than i could do on the topic? 🙂 just wanna see if something comes of it

Here I have a remnant log as well; https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3tx84HMFJGZ1gNdT#fight=20&type=damage-done
Not a huge deal on Guardian but try not to desync vanish too far into vendetta
eventually over the course of a longer fight it will screw you
Good advice I've noticed it has screwed me before
really it's pretty decent. Just make sure you aren't getting in the habit of refreshing dots too early
there were one or two spots I noticed you refreshed before pandemic
I'm down bad man 
6 courts, 18 vaults, and nothing
damn oxi you got keys
Do we have anything from Legion M+ or is it all trash?
im at 23 vaults 18 courts 😦
atuo attack ring and whetstone from court of stars, faulty countermeasure from vault
Our only salvation is they nerf them so that they're about even w/ current trinkets so we don't have to cry anymore
Didn't Blizzard say they are looking at the trinkets and might nerf
There was a wowhead article
i mean i dont mind it personally
yeppers
Good
i dont want them nerfed
there good but other stuff is close
just cool to have something to shoot for
They definitely need to be tweaked, but I hope they don't make them worthless (which I highly doubt they won't obliterate them)
Yea but they typically don't like to time/luck gate people like that
Don't want something that's available only two weeks to be good
There's no reason a 246 legion m+ timewalking trinket should be 180 dps over a 252 current raid trinket
usually if they nerf it they break them to be always trash
yeah that's what I'm afraid of
They should just make time walking legion Kes a permant thing though
If Oxi runs 100 keys and gets 0 but I run 2 keys and get ring and trinket now I am suddenly 150 DPS better than him by sheer luck that isn't repeatable?
literally so many of my twink sets are useless now bc of mage tower
but 180dps is wild
yeah they should've just re-enabled legion legendaries for the tower imo
would've actually been fun
ha
TBH if you read that article, the wording is a bit funky & it actually makes it sound like they're only looking to tune those trinkets for the mage tower.
I think I'm gonna try to train myself to be better at elaborate planning, not refresh out of pandemics, not desyncing vanishes, not screwing up opener, not missing CDS(arcane torrent), learning fight mechs that potentially add damage(rupturing orbs on remnant??). Also, is the general consensus to Flagellation on CD or sync with Vendetta?
on cd unless you'll miss a cast
worrying about EP is a waste of brain bandwidth
so you typically sync the last cast of each
if you want to mid-max, just don't spam envenom, pool a bit between then finish but that was like what, .1% DPS
I want to not believe this, but I know better 
Yeah it's clearly in the context of nerfing things for magetower. Doesn't mean they won't just dumpster them though.
"Oh we accidentally gave you a super strong item? Okay nerf"
^
It's possible, but at the same time, I don't think it's a ridiculous item.
a big fun detected nerf bat
hey does sigryn challenge has a enrage timer?
Yes.
it's kinda like in 8.3 when I had two gushing wounds and had a boe drop in raid and some dude paid me 5 million gold for it
630
then they announced the vendor the next day
and then announced the gushing wounds nerf 3 days later
thanks for the brutosaur mr. dh 
omg same
on my fire mage i literally did not have masterfull till the vendor bc i sold them
yeah imagine them pre-nerf
🏦
my friend sold an is3 on a HEROIC boe for like 5mil 1st or 2nd week
shit was insane
and so many dumbasses on my server especially
right?
that was every server man lmao
now we have the leggo inflateagate market
nah your server doesnt have this
how is that bad?
I remember tokens hit close to 400k in NA
damn point proven
ye IS3 in pvp meant you won too so pvpers were after it too
arena first few weeks of 8.3 was toxic af
just stars killing you from the other side of the map
if your not lucky enough to have the gold or craft it every time leggo rank goes up blizz is like thatll be 20$ please
nah that was nerfed pretty fast it just felt longer
sounds pretty fun, star days
One banging your entire group.
yea I think you're right, it might've been the next day or two
or early td days, tank topping dps
You ever seen a tank solo 1 side of Carapiece? Or one shot mythic N'zoth tentacles?
I have.
early? you mean whole tier 
That is just simply not true.
Only if you were a monkey did you ever have issues like that.
alright not like i wasnt playing firemage w a significantly high io or anything
I too, can't hit the threat buttons.
literally a monster at threat on big pulls
when your td procs, io doesnt matter anymore lol you just top the meter
but in early days you had to be lucky to get it
what i was saying is tank needed it to help them try to hold threat
bc we were all so powerful compared to thier threat
on big pulls
idk, with rogues/hunters in grp, threat usually is alright
yea just another way to help for sure
Well, Hunter was the most played class in M+ besides Outlaw Rogue.
but thats mostly a tank issue, i have never seen a high io tank lose threat ever
& Fire Mage
unholy dk was also a threat pumper
paladins the wheelchair class of legion
🙂
was such a good time being in the pally disc back then xD
i wonder what survivor hunter disc is like
ha
ive played 3 expansions never seen sv hunter any good in any patches
sv hunter was king in cata and mop
i mean good like mainstream, not meta, but at least middle of the pack
thats not this version
surv hunters were really good on gul dan
they trivialized one of the tighest dps checks early on
was kinda cool if you had one first few weeks
man blizz ruined survival it was perfect in cata
I know survi is technically good for the hunter specs; but it in my opinion has one of the worst feeling rotation in the game
https://wago.io/-T2eAtxNX for people upstairs I had another one that showed add health for me when I was downstairs but I don't remember the name of it
that'd be helpful
does this just send an alert once the phylactery hits a certain %?
uhhh iirc it's like 5 people
first kill with my old guild I think it was 6
1 healer, 1 boomie, 2 warriors, a dh, and me
looking at logs it was 6 for my new guild too
gotcha
DH would just jump down and hit it for the debuff
my man really went back 9 months to reply to tht 
Well blizzard hates fun, don't you know that
its fixed for a while now

You are the one who helped me fin d a way tho
:p
So yeah it's fixed now 
9.2 mastery build, line up third vendetta with Bell? xD
True!!!!!!
Xddddd
Oops
Idk I also somehow got muted for someone else being toxic towards me
Ye well, he would've stopped if no one engaged with him.
Explain me then, Mr. Seliathan 


lets have an argument!
I'm pretty sure I'm the luckiest rogue NA
got ring first run
got countermeasure 2nd run
reroll keys with guildies
All my friends hate me
lol only 25...i've amassed 7,000 valor...not sure how the math works out on that
Faulty gonna get nerfed tho
you think?
I mean waht's the fear - rogues might be with boomkins?
Na people are just crying about how strong it is compared to raid trinks
Blue post said legion TW trinket nerds
Nerfs
Hard to imagine a better target
Also I have mine, so not jealousy salt
Faulty only seems like an outlier for sin, outlaw, vengeance, brm
Mostly frost set for the first 3
And honestly probably because fusion amp is kinda bad more than anything
the aa ring is actually quite big for sin
100ish for me
But there's never any CoS groups and my guild pretends to be afk when I ask for 2 farms
not everyone is into the 2 grind
CoS +2 be filled in 10sec by 2800rio people 
I did 30 vaults for their faulty after I already had mine
:(
30 runs wow that sounds painful
2 faulties
I'm okay with that if you can buy items from vendors.
Too hard to farm shit when no one's doing this content already
not sure if i prefere 2 farm or 10+ farms
i prefer neither
dont make time limited content with gear as good as this
beating all mythic raid loot
but if i had to choose between +2 or +10, i'd take the +10 since that atleast makes the players press their buttons
its rather irrelevant atm
there is no content that get trivialized more by the tw stuff atm
its good that 1-2 items are relevant
it means you have a incentive to run the old content outside of "for fun"
it just feels "mandatory" to farm it
basically "guaranteed" bis if enough time put in
and its not a small difference either
if it were 20-30 dps
i wouldnt care
its big
well its a very small diffrence on subtlety
0.4% was the highest gain i saw when running sims for the items (sims are pinned in #subtlety )
i care about assa
uwu
and its even more on other classes
its really big on fury
.4% is around 30-40 dps so probably in the range you wanted
you cant take 1 case
and given that subtlety is atm overall stronger, it might be a case of not being a "required" grind
but what if im fury warrior?
so why bother if there is one item that you can also ignore if you want
the tw dungeon will be not open when the new patch drops
and raid/m+ items from the new season with higher itemlevel will make those items not better anymore
it will open like 2 months after new patch drops, and it will be relevant
with even less time to farm
2 months is still during progress for 90% of the guilds
probably including mine
what means you can farm it if you want some additional output
not that you are required to do so
and if i dont, im just behind everyone else that got lucky/no lifed it for the 1 week
with absolutely nothing to do about it
also the next raid could have strong trinkets
or it could have bad trinkets, putting even more value on farming these
so potential that the mega dungeon m+ trinkets and raid trinkets are powerful enough to make you not care
i just feel like it should be in line with the other current trinkets
guardian trinket hasnt dropped for me yet, so farming this is a "guaranteed" mega upgrade
isn't that something positive?
no
you have a lower chance to get the guardian trinket
so tw allowes you to get a similar/better trinket with a way higher success rate
it would've been from 200 dps upgrade to 150
if it were similar, i'd be ok
but its a lot better
you would still need to farm it, so your complain would still apply?
no
cause im not farming it
its 1 item out of a pool of 16 items, when dungeons drop 2 items
for 5 players
not a math magician but that seems too low
for the effort
thats fair, if you don't like doing certain content its fine to want this content to not be relevant
i love the legion m+
but so far i've been spending most of my time in cos and still dont have the finger
with much better chances of dropping
theoretically speaking
the ring seems more problematic
its less of an upgrade than the trinket
its only good if you autoattack a lot AND haste is good for your class
its due to what i did hear in dps increase just as bad as the trinket
so for nerfs, if both is over budget it both needed to be nerfed
how good is the trinket from votw?
im 251 and its worth about 270 dps
they should def. keep the items slightly stronger as raid options
it makes tw m+ relevant
also, next week is push week so i wont have time to farm votw/cos 
if you're pooling for envenom while on 4-5 CP and shiv comes off CD do you press it?
i'm simming double Sinful Revelation on Edge of Night Mythic + Heroic higher than Sinful Revelation + OH Celestial
it has to be a bug right?
I believe you should in general try to pool for shiv assuming your bleeds have enough time left on them to get several envenoms in before they need refreshing
I just think they should be more in-line power-wise with stuff we have available to us. Instead of like 170-250 dps increases we've seen floating around for people for the vault trinket tbh
Like Varas said, if it's 20-30 dps its whatever you don't feel obligated to farm it
but something as large as 100+ dps for one slot is kind of massive
Yeah it just doesn't make sense for such a weird timewalking item to outperform a current mythic level item by so much
like rn I'm 252 ilvl equipped and upgrading my mh dagger to a 259 edge of night is only 148 dps
i am with that, as long as they stay good
kinda wild that a legion m+ trinket is a bigger dps increase than that
e.g. just making tw items strictly worse takes away appeal to run it
Yeh
yeah that's what I'm worried about
that they obliterate them and make them bad
which is silly
the ring is rather irrelevant on sub, hence not a lot of ppl care about it that mainly play sub
its a small dps increase right?
its not even a dps win
Is the appeal of timewalking to get current tier gear?
well the issue with that is like a +15 legion tw dungeon is as hard as 18s for current content
and you get no score
so like if it isn't for personal satisfaction and gear, it'd be quickly obsolete content
it'd be neat if they included a separate tw m+ score
would incentivize people to take it a lil more seriously than trying to farm an OP trinket or ring
i hope blizz steps up and does something a bit more in terms of content conservation
and timewalking is their implementation of such a system
yeah I think if they pushed forth reviving old content like they did for legion tw m+ it'd be great
My thing is that I don't see that content as built towards people wanting gear to push content and therefore should just strictly be worse. Of course the situation is now drastically different with Legion dungeons being scaled to current level but it is just poor design for such scarce items to outperform current dungeon/raid gear.
like not running retail keys and getting some reward is nice
only thing i wish is that they would re-visit the dungeons a bit
and fix some design issues
It makes no sense and provides incentive in a highly negative way to run the dungeons. For instance, I think I would really enjoy playing a +15 court of stars or Vault and try a new dungeon I have never played before but when I feel like I have to run the dungeon X amount of times to go get something I need for more player power instead of enjoying the experience
its like choreghast all over again but high stress farming simulator instead of weekly chore
not sure if you would feel as obligated to farm if the difference was like .2% dps
and having small dps increases makes the content exciting, as you gain something in return for doing it
if items are too bad it becomes a "for fun"
and for fun is nice but also somehting you do once and never touch again
Which I think the M+ changes the for fun standpoint
people are still running current M+ for fun (or score) but mostly for fun
i can't argue on this because i have no data on how big the player retention is in m+
but looking at my fl/guild it did not seem extremely high
yeah my personal view is just there there is a "pick 2" triangle with power, fun, and challenge and legion M+ just took all 3
i still dont understand why the majority of the playerbase will only play for the rewards :(, but thats besides the point
if the mage tower didnt give a reward I would have still gone to do it
i suppose people have different reasons for playing or derive fun in different ways. Personally gear incentivizes me without a doubt.
the reward is just a bonus point
e.g. mage tower with 0 reward would not be as appealing
image if you would not get a achivement/tmog for completing it
well, true
but if there was no rewards they could've made it harder for the challenge
the challange are already tuned fairly tight
im gonna finish all 7 mage towers soon(TM) and i guess the mount is nice
a lot of ppl struggle with subtlety, i get a lot of dms and #subtlety also has regular people come in that struggle
I wouldn't say easy but it definitely provides a fun level of challenge that feels good to clear
well, i said imo cause for me it felt easy
i think its hard to generalize
because you can't expect everyone to be on the same level
i like prestige, and making prestigious single player content would be very welcomed by me
it took me 100 tries for the assa challenge, but it was my first time
i thought it was satisfying but perhaps they could have implemented it in a way that it continues to scale if you're just there for the challenge.
the outlaw one i'm 30 tries in and w several -10% tries, so its way easier
just talking about subtlety, even experienced subtlety players with rly good parses often did require multiple tries to clear it
did you use any cheeses or in full sl gear?
only unbridled pot
everything else, shadowlands
how tf do i put widgets on my phone screen
unrelated
and this comes to the point you need to consider the audience for the mage tower
usually hold down and itll pop an option up
nothing pops up:(( there must be some setting somewhere
a major issue I think was blizz not being forthcoming with saying what the expected level of challenge would be
who is supposed to be able to clear this
well, its fine to have mage tower for everyone to do but some harder content thats only doable by the really good players would be welcome
That would be great, if it was advertised that way
i shouldnt be able to go on a spec i dont play and knock it out in a couple of hours
i saw a lot of ppl waiting for reset to have the challanges potentially nerfed
i think the audience is to small if its only hardcore
but if it's tuned to heroic raid level? That sounds pretty reasonable
i am not sure whats the sweet spot
and i am luckily not in the positon to decide on this
heroic raid week 1/2 to be specific, but I agree I'm not trying to solve the shortcomings here
yeah lol
but for me, it feels like the subtlety challange is at least for the spec to tight
to be clear, i like it with current tuning as it means beating it feels great
its more rewarding because only a small subset managed to do it
def
big boss kills or this challenge I only ever get like this "oh its finally over" feeling
more than actual excitement or a good feeling lol
hey guys, it's faulty countermeasure gonna be nerfed or ?
noone knows yet
nothing official so far, so we can only guess
I've hit my threshold of vault of the wardens for the week
I'll try again next week
whats the count?
whetstone is very nice, felt good on the 2 heroic fatescribe pulls I took before the group disbanded
yeah
not many but enough to feel like dumping my toaster in my bathtub
damn dude you did 209 of them this week?
ofc
