I’d out-parse your whole family tree in the chromosome raid

#

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 🙂

Chill homie

#

What’s yo overall for dps lil boi

charred wraith
#

Whats up with all pepega moments today :pepeclown-1:

It's a havoc player clearly

That’s what i thought @slow marsh

Who even are you

the guy got out of bed with the wrong foot obviously

shut garnet
#

yo is this a “post wcl” angle

oak sky
#

lol!

proper summit
#

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

slow marsh
#

Like I'm flattered to be getting @ over and over but really

iron orchid
#

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 kazuhands

oak sky
#

@slow marsh hi

#

🙂

slow marsh
#

@oak sky hi oxi1Wave

balmy condor
#

People coming in complaining it’s too hard, blaming everything except themselves

tropic fog
#

Not complaining it’s hard for shit

balmy condor
#

Might’ve been worse in legion honestly because gear was actually huge for it

#

Cause it didn’t scale

tropic fog
#

I keep dying after jarl dies and caster hits 9% instead of 7% woth overall 1.1k

proper summit
#

Yeah, reading class discords has never been so much fun

tropic fog
#

When i’v watched vods of ppl getting it at 950 overall

shut garnet
#

class discords the first month of a new tier is where it peaks

sturdy grove
#

Hi guys, if I'm reading the pin correctly we will be crafting our cov legendary on a belt in 9.2 correct?

slow marsh
#

Just git gud idk

slow marsh
sturdy grove
#

awesome, thanks

balmy condor
#

Using some new magic thing

tropic fog
#

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”

slow marsh
#

🐒

solid venture
#

take a chill pill

slow marsh
#

Back to felhammer with you

solid venture
#

seems like your ego is bruised from not being able to do MT , don't take it out on us

slow marsh
#

Begone

tropic fog
# slow marsh Just git gud idk

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

balmy condor
#

Aighty dude

#

Calm down

solid venture
slow marsh
#

It was 1.2k

balmy condor
#

I was doing 1.2k the video is in the guide

#

It’s definitely doable

slow marsh
#

Just be better and you'll get it pal

balmy condor
#

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

tropic fog
#

100 dps would account for 2% on the caster so that makes sense guess i need something other than dogshit shadowlands gear

balmy condor
#

You had a close pull, it dies soon

#

You got it

tropic fog
balmy condor
slow marsh
#

Still faster than your MT clear

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

marble hemlock
#

Nah

balmy condor

balmy condor

Once every 5 minutes

balmy condor

Idk if healthy is the right word

#

But I’m glad you’re having fun

marble hemlock
#

is it actually water youre drinking

#

balmy condor
#

Yes

Pure california tap water, with trace amounts of rocket fuel

marble hemlock

#

I want to see a video of someone completing the tower with only items from Shadowlands

small basin
#

i did it

#

with only shadowlands stuff

subtle tundra
#

i did it with 1 hour of practice

oak sky
#

its definitely very possible

thick sail
#

@small basin what items did you use

small basin
#

ill show ya

thick sail
#

I'm in mostly 252 mythic+ crap

small basin
#

mine isnt mythic

#

but it doesnt matter

#

cos its scales down

subtle tundra
#

ilvl doesnt matter -.-

#

dom slots are disabled

#

all that matters is socketed gear and tertiary

small basin
#

i mostly went haste vers gear

#

with some crit

#

phial/fusion trinkets

thick sail
#

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

subtle tundra
#

how's it cheesing?

small basin
#

most important thign is bleeds bleeds bleeds

subtle tundra
#

literally shadowlands items

#

with socket

small basin
#

CT garrote and rupture

#

on all targets

#

kidney on cd unless the rage is coming

#

with internal bleeding

thick sail
#

@subtle tundra I mean using old pieces with 3 sockets

small basin
#

you dont need any old expansion stuff

subtle tundra
#

and i was talking about shadowlands gear

small basin
#

at all

thick sail
#

Do we only kshot the jarl?

small basin
#

yea

thick sail
#

Wouldn't that hit dr

subtle tundra
#

i only kidney'd the enrage

small basin
#

just wait 4 seconds

#

dr is 24 seconds

subtle tundra
#

evasion tank it at the start

#

and then kidney

thick sail
#

Okay

subtle tundra
#

thats 15 seconds of uptime

small basin
#

yeah you have 2 mins between the first and second enrage

#

so use kidney for damage and to reduce damage taken

thick sail
#

Does he always enrage at a specific time?

small basin
#

yes

#

get dbm challenge modes

subtle tundra
#

its a scripted fight

small basin
#

addon

thick sail
#

Okay, that's good to know

#

Oh

small basin
#

it shows you the timers

subtle tundra
#

literal dance

thick sail
#

Okay

#

That will make it a lot easier lol

small basin
#

yeah

thick sail
#

I have dbm but it wasn't giving any warnings

small basin
#

i got it after an hour

#

made things a bit easier

subtle tundra
#

also if you didnt know

#

they share health

#

no need to focus low hp or anything

#

just hit whatever

small basin
#

yeah i just focued the caster as its easier to kick then

#

as you're gonna be in range

thick sail
#

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

small basin
#

tbh i mainly kept up bleeds on 2

subtle tundra
small basin
#

not so much on the one you blind

#

just wheni could

subtle tundra
#

i was fucking up big time when i was doing mechanics and still finished it with 1.1k dps

small basin
#

also mainly mutilate over FoK

#

if you aren't already

thick sail
#

I was doing about 900 but died to mechanics a lot

small basin
#

as its better on 3 targets

thick sail
#

Also wait what

#

I was using mainly fok

subtle tundra
#

mutilate is better on 3targets, what

small basin
#

mutilate

subtle tundra
#

its not a specific thing for this

small basin
#

dont use fok unless you have to do mechanics

#

and arent in range

drifting cosmos
#

yea its not legion/bfa anymore

thick sail
#

I did not know this

small basin
#

FoK on 4+

drifting cosmos
#

fok is a lot worse these days

thick sail
#

Christ.

small basin
#

mutilate does big dam, and has great cp generation

subtle tundra
#

it has better cp generation and bigger dmg

small basin
#

think FoK did like 2% of my damage

#

wheni did it

#

just when i was running to the runes

thick sail
#

Okay so I'll stay away from fok

subtle tundra
#

only time i fok was when i was running for mechanics and couldnt hit mobs with mutilate

oak sky
#

fok is fine to get deadly poison on targets as well

thick sail
#

How long does the jarl's enrage last?

small basin
#

yeah but CT normally applies poisons

oak sky
#

20s

thick sail
#

So after the kshot, do we shiv him and just run?

small basin
#

evason

#

and kite if no evasion

#

kite him to one side and shadowstep to a different boss

subtle tundra
#

you cant shiv

#

its not sootheable

oak sky
#

hes probably saying shiv just for the slow

thick sail
#

No, shiv just for crip

subtle tundra
#

dont

small basin
#

eh you should play mind numbing

oak sky
#

but imo numbing is better

small basin
#

not crip

thick sail
#

Oh

small basin
#

just flat damage reduction

subtle tundra
#

its like 5 seconds left on the enrage

thick sail
#

So basically everything I was doing was wrong.

subtle tundra
#

you can walk that out easily

small basin
#

well at least you know

#

and can do it better

subtle tundra
thick sail
#

Do we run into situations where he's still enraged but there's runes on the ground

small basin
#

the mog is worth it, keep at it

thick sail
#

I feel like that was happening

small basin
#

yes

subtle tundra
#

gets frustrating when its many times a day

small basin
#

sprint/ evasion

#

kidney

#

3 tools

thick sail
#

But not all at once

small basin
#

ofc not

thick sail
#

One at a time

#

Okay

#

I feel like the jarl is the main problem

small basin
#

step too

thick sail
#

For me

small basin
#

yeah jarl is the hardest bit

#

the axes/ enrage

thick sail
#

Axes are also so hard to see because they don't have a ground indicator

small basin
#

you can tank a lot tbh

thick sail
#

So weird to tell if they're close or far

small basin
#

as long as you use feint and use the healing spheres

thick sail
#

The spheres, do they have a timer too, or random

small basin
#

they despawn fast

thick sail
#

Oh

small basin
#

oh you mean when they come

#

not sure

thick sail
#

Right

#

Like a scripted event

#

Or just random

small basin
#

also remember to use cloak

thick sail
#

I need that mod that counts things down, will help a lot I think

small basin
#

for when you either have to run over the puddles or just for oh shit button

thick sail
#

The puddles are cancer during the runes part

small basin
#

yeah well cloak immunes them

thick sail
#

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

small basin
#

i only did the assa one

#

just wanted the mog

#

heard outlaw is pretty easy tho

thick sail
#

Do we only have to do one for the mog?

small basin
#

yes

thick sail
#

Oh okay

#

I'll try again tomorrow, thanks folks

shell kettle
#

Are they all 3 supposed to go ham at the same time? I literally had all 3 ults in the same second monkaS

#

And dark charge too

balmy condor
#

enrage

shell kettle
#

🤔

balmy condor
#

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

shell kettle
#

I dont think that was it

#

Ye it was the 5 minute one

small basin
#

at the hard enrage the main boss just slaps you for half your hp too

#

i killed it just as the hard enrage happened

shell kettle
#

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 😂

indigo ginkgo
#

so , how we setting with the new 2pc set bonus ? at least its an increase do aoe bleeds now

balmy condor
# shell kettle Ye it was the 5 minute one

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

balmy condor
dense kiln
#

So The new 2pc change is when we shiv or just flat out bleed crit chance ?

balmy condor
#

when you shiv

#

you get 100% bleed crit on every bleed

#

for 9 seconds

shell kettle
balmy condor
shell kettle
#

I honestly am not paying attention to healthbars at all rn

balmy condor
#

yeah I wouldn't either

indigo ginkgo
#

all bleeds ? like necro one bloodfang ?

balmy condor
#

but it's good to at least aim to kill jarl at around that point

balmy condor
indigo ginkgo
#

i thought it only affet specific rogue abilitis nice

oak sky
#

nice just beat it

spark scaffold
#

What is that countermeasure damage hmm

shell kettle
#

ez 8%

#

dude i just got so fucked

#

was gonna kill

#

boss bugs out of ring

#

resets and doesnt come back

#

dfalkjhdfakjghfdskjhgfdashkjl

spark scaffold
#

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

shell kettle
#

Nah im not looking for an easy way out

analog glade
#

Kill me please, the ring will never drop !

shell kettle
#

dw itll be nerfed to uselessness anyway

analog glade
#

idk xD

opaque lake
#

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?

balmy condor
#

Yeah make sure you have dots up, vendetta, and then pump that target

opaque lake
#

so at start 3x garrot, CT for all, rupture on vendetta target and go?

small basin
#

muti/ fok depending on target after the garrote for 5 point ct no?

rocky escarp
#

hows the new tierset looking?

thin trout
#

not the best, i like the look of older tier sets more

thorny pond
#

Or do you mean how does it play lol

rocky escarp
#

lol yea

thorny pond
#

T20 recolor and mythic sanctum are pretty cool leather looks for modern though

thorny pond
# rocky escarp lol yea

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

rocky escarp
#

Amazing, thanks! Have been too busy with life to keep up with the game and changes lately

vestal wren
#

9.2 won't be soon

thorny pond
#

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

vestal wren
#

so you can relax and check whats new closer to 9.2 release

thorny pond
#

Long PTR. Settle in with some snacks

gusty mirage
#

Who pinged me in the middle of the night

glad narwhal
#

I’m so bad at the rogue MT. 😭

soft shale
#

i always have ghost pings

#

they disappear

#

somehow

urban nova
#

what's the reasoning for opening with mutilate instead of ambush?

charred wraith
#

!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.

soft shale
#

who was it

#

show yourself

urban nova
#

thanks brotha

vestal wren
nocturne geode
#

you dont even ambush from sepsis

#

it gets no benefit froms stealth so there for you still mutilate

charred wraith
#

no fun allowed

nocturne geode
#

its one of the reasons sepsis is weaker bc there is no stealth benefit from abilities used

#

def an oversight of the power imo

viscid spear
#

So Obedience+Duskwalker is looking like the play so far?

soft shale
#

seems like it unless they do more changes

#

but they will

nocturne geode
viscid spear
#

Do they need to? That combo already seems great, can't imagine what other one they would change

thorny pond
#

NF buff

#

could change SBS and that crazy shit

subtle tundra
viscid spear
subtle tundra
#

for ST its the same but instead of 25, its 100% crit

#

so not like its hard to change i guess

nocturne geode
subtle tundra
viscid spear
nocturne geode
viscid spear
#

So Venthyr is the clear choice? venthyr

nocturne geode
#

yea bc the the stat steriod

subtle tundra
#

yea, necro wasnt even considered for ST

#

unless they do something to the leggo

nocturne geode
#

^

#

being goated into 1 cov is monka

viscid spear
#

I was trying to be Necro Sin for m+ but I just can't not be Venthyr; Flag is so nice

nocturne geode
#

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

gusty mirage
#

Well all signs point that they’ll have to rebalance legendaries for double leggo

#

So I wouldn’t worry too much just yet

nocturne geode
#

yeah im just saying no ones mentioning this on the thread

#

so they might overlook it as not a prob

gusty mirage
#

Because the thread is about the tier sets

viscid spear
#

Rebalancing could make Deathspike viable, but how

gusty mirage
#

Not legendaries

nocturne geode
#

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

gusty mirage
#

Because that was the original design, 5 charges and they cleave 2(?) more spikes iirc

nocturne geode
#

i mean if they all cleave its 10

viscid spear
#

Do a lot of other classes have a Cov leggo that is pure AoE and garbage on ST? logs

gusty mirage
#

Then outlaw rogues we’re averaging 26k sustain aoe on ptr and it got nerfed

nocturne geode
#

BUT interms of value kekw

gusty mirage
#

Woulda been the go to for assassination m+

#

But also obedience was significantly stronger than it is now and also got nerfed

nocturne geode
#

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????

gusty mirage
#

Tbf sepsis has always been garbage

drifting cloud
gusty mirage
#

People played fae in 9.0 because the soulbinds were stronger than the rest

nocturne geode
#

idk i have a couple really good parses with it just trolling in relcears

subtle tundra
#

😕

#

(see: vanish legendaries)

gusty mirage
#

But blizz is lazy or couldn’t figure out how to not have that happen

subtle tundra
#

yea but that requires worK!

gusty mirage
subtle tundra
#

!!

#

!

gusty mirage
#

Yep exactly

#

Fucking sucks man

#

I was so excited for deathspike after playing with it on the ptr

nocturne geode
#

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

gusty mirage
#

I think they just kinda mailed it in on covenants

#

Just another borrowed power system that ended up being a snooze

nocturne geode
#

thats not an excuse when others have gotten viable changes

gusty mirage
#

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

nocturne geode
#

again still an excuse lol

#

im just not good at wording things only reason i havent posted

gusty mirage
nocturne geode
#

im talking in general

gusty mirage
#

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

nocturne geode
#

yes you can you just serperate different changes that gave options

gusty mirage
#

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

nocturne geode
#

maybe im not talking clearly im just sayin we went from 2-3 playable option to 1 theres an issue here

gusty mirage
#

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

nocturne geode
#

yea i agree with that

#

im just saying noones talking about it

#

SO they may overlook it

gusty mirage
#

Be the change you want to see in the world yejoice

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).

timid cloud
#

Oh my god. That is in fact, a link.

gusty mirage
#

Yeah that link is massive holy

Ryler out here pretending he doesn’t know what he’s doing KEKL

drifting cloud
#

I dont think ive ever opened my logs

gusty mirage
#

Yeah cuz you’re a god tier gamer

nocturne geode
#

whispyr told me im special and my thoughts while not always clear are valued

#

🙂

drifting cloud
#

just have better gear oxi solves everything

#

then wft, maybe even ka for a week

gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

dont worry blizz is gonna ban it

gusty mirage
#

Maybe if I never get it, they’ll leave it alone

drifting cloud
#

but then Id have to farm it

gusty mirage
#

Okay okay you convinced me. Back to the grind

drifting cloud
#

or well I probably wouldnt but you get the idea

timid cloud
drifting cloud
#

I did tank last boss in a 10 when the 2 people died to the wall, fun dungeon

timid cloud
#

I got a 6 for ya, Oxi.

gusty mirage
#

You too? kekl

timid cloud
#

Go ahead & hop in.

recheck your opener

you don't want to use shiv in the MA window

gusty mirage

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

#

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

half tartan
#

Good advice I've noticed it has screwed me before

thorny pond
#

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

gusty mirage
#

6 courts, 18 vaults, and nothing

thorny pond
#

damn oxi you got keys

north pecan
#

Do we have anything from Legion M+ or is it all trash?

nocturne geode

im at 23 vaults 18 courts 😦

#

Didn't Blizzard say they are looking at the trinkets and might nerf

#

There was a wowhead article

nocturne geode
#

i mean i dont mind it personally

fading wigeon
#

Good

nocturne geode
#

i dont want them nerfed

#

there good but other stuff is close

#

just cool to have something to shoot for

gusty mirage
#

They definitely need to be tweaked, but I hope they don't make them worthless (which I highly doubt they won't obliterate them)

thorny pond
#

Yea but they typically don't like to time/luck gate people like that

fading wigeon
#

Don't want something that's available only two weeks to be good

gusty mirage
#

There's no reason a 246 legion m+ timewalking trinket should be 180 dps over a 252 current raid trinket

nocturne geode
#

usually if they nerf it they break them to be always trash

gusty mirage
#

yeah that's what I'm afraid of

fading wigeon
#

They should just make time walking legion Kes a permant thing though

thorny pond
#

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?

gusty mirage
#

if it was like 10-20 dps more or less than a 252 guardian trinket

#

it's fine imo

nocturne geode
#

literally so many of my twink sets are useless now bc of mage tower

gusty mirage
#

but 180dps is wild

nocturne geode
#

and i spend hours or alot of gold setting those up

#

literally upset about it

gusty mirage
#

yeah they should've just re-enabled legion legendaries for the tower imo

#

would've actually been fun

thorny pond
#

ha

timid cloud
#

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.

half tartan
#

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?

timid cloud
#

But that could be me just tinfoiling.

gusty mirage
thorny pond
gusty mirage
#

so you typically sync the last cast of each

nocturne geode
#

that not what there doing lol tho just wait

#

there destroying those items

thorny pond
#

if you want to mid-max, just don't spam envenom, pool a bit between then finish but that was like what, .1% DPS

hey does sigryn challenge has a enrage timer?

timid cloud
#

Yes.

gusty mirage
#

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

thorny pond
#

630

gusty mirage
#

then they announced the vendor the next day

#

and then announced the gushing wounds nerf 3 days later

#

thanks for the brutosaur mr. dh kekg

nocturne geode
#

omg same

#

on my fire mage i literally did not have masterfull till the vendor bc i sold them

timid cloud
#

Gushers in PvP were WHEW

#

BIG wild.

gusty mirage
#

yeah imagine them pre-nerf

nocturne geode
#

wait till you have a sin rogue open on you every 45 sec in pvp w fast bleeds

I'll just play my monk, get a chi-ji proc and delete him in a global

#

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

nocturne geode
#

right?

gusty mirage
#

that was every server man lmao

nocturne geode
#

now we have the leggo inflateagate market

drifting cloud
#

nah your server doesnt have this

subtle tundra
#

how is that bad?

gusty mirage
#

I remember tokens hit close to 400k in NA

subtle tundra
#

is3 first week

#

was INSANE

gusty mirage
#

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

nocturne geode
#

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

drifting cloud
#

nah that was nerfed pretty fast it just felt longer

timid cloud
#

God I hated that.

#

or T-Dev tanks.

drifting cosmos
#

or early td days, tank topping dps

timid cloud
#

You ever seen a tank solo 1 side of Carapiece? Or one shot mythic N'zoth tentacles?

#

I have.

drifting cloud
#

early? you mean whole tier PepLaugh

nocturne geode
#

i mean tbf tanks needed td to hold threat

#

bc we were all giga

timid cloud
#

That is just simply not true.

#

Only if you were a monkey did you ever have issues like that.

nocturne geode
#

alright not like i wasnt playing firemage w a significantly high io or anything

timid cloud
#

I too, can't hit the threat buttons.

nocturne geode
#

literally a monster at threat on big pulls

timid cloud
#

I ripped into 5k io players like cheese with my TD. LOL

#

Nothing but 📠

drifting cosmos
#

when your td procs, io doesnt matter anymore lol you just top the meter

timid cloud
#

No printer.

#

^

drifting cosmos
#

but in early days you had to be lucky to get it

nocturne geode
#

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

drifting cosmos
#

idk, with rogues/hunters in grp, threat usually is alright

nocturne geode
#

yea just another way to help for sure

timid cloud
#

Well, Hunter was the most played class in M+ besides Outlaw Rogue.

drifting cosmos
#

but thats mostly a tank issue, i have never seen a high io tank lose threat ever

timid cloud
#

& Fire Mage

nocturne geode
#

unholy dk was also a threat pumper

drifting cosmos
#

oh yea that 1mil dps in mdi, was it 8.2 or something

#

ive played 3 expansions never seen sv hunter any good in any patches

nocturne geode
#

check wcl there are a few

#

and have been a few last coupl ex pacs

sv hunter was king in cata and mop

drifting cosmos
#

i mean good like mainstream, not meta, but at least middle of the pack

nocturne geode
soft shale
#

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

grand ridge
#

man blizz ruined survival it was perfect in cata

sour elm
#

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

cerulean nest
#

any helpful weakauras for KT prog?

#

also how many did you send downstairs?

gusty mirage
cerulean nest
#

that'd be helpful

#

does this just send an alert once the phylactery hits a certain %?

gusty mirage
#

I believe so

#

I never got the chance to stay up

#

so I'm not entirely sure lul

cerulean nest
#

lol cool

#

how many did you send down usually?

gusty mirage
#

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

cerulean nest

DH would just jump down and hit it for the debuff

I mean waht's the fear - rogues might be with boomkins?

strange python

Blue post said legion TW trinket nerds

#

Nerfs

#

Hard to imagine a better target

#

Also I have mine, so not jealousy salt

vestal wren
#

did miss the blue post

#

but thw trinkets do not seem highly overpowered

strange python
#

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

vestal wren
#

the aa ring is actually quite big for sin

strange python
#

100ish for me

#

But there's never any CoS groups and my guild pretends to be afk when I ask for 2 farms

vestal wren
#

not everyone is into the 2 grind

quaint carbon
#

CoS +2 be filled in 10sec by 2800rio people Kappa

strange python
#

:(

vestal wren
#

30 runs wow that sounds painful

strange python
#

2 faulties

subtle tundra
#

the 2 grind is stupid and the reroll guy should only appear for +10 onwards

#

imo

strange python
#

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

vestal wren
#

not sure if i prefere 2 farm or 10+ farms

subtle tundra
#

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

vestal wren
#

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"

subtle tundra
#

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

polar cape
#

bis item are a social construct

#

/s

vestal wren
#

well its a very small diffrence on subtlety

subtle tundra
#

that doesnt change

#

my point

vestal wren
#

0.4% was the highest gain i saw when running sims for the items (sims are pinned in #subtlety )

subtle tundra
#

i care about assa

#

uwu

#

and its even more on other classes

#

its really big on fury

vestal wren
#

.4% is around 30-40 dps so probably in the range you wanted

subtle tundra
#

you cant take 1 case

vestal wren
#

and given that subtlety is atm overall stronger, it might be a case of not being a "required" grind

subtle tundra
#

but thats 1 spec......

#

what about other specs......

vestal wren
#

ofc its one spec

#

but you also decided to play assassination when its dps wise worse

subtle tundra
#

but what if im fury warrior?

vestal wren
#

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

subtle tundra
#

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

vestal wren
#

what means you can farm it if you want some additional output

#

not that you are required to do so

subtle tundra
#

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

vestal wren
#

also the next raid could have strong trinkets

subtle tundra
#

or it could have bad trinkets, putting even more value on farming these

vestal wren
#

so potential that the mega dungeon m+ trinkets and raid trinkets are powerful enough to make you not care

subtle tundra
#

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

vestal wren
#

isn't that something positive?

subtle tundra
#

no

vestal wren
#

you have a lower chance to get the guardian trinket

subtle tundra
#

but what if i already had it

#

and i still had to farm

vestal wren
#

so tw allowes you to get a similar/better trinket with a way higher success rate

subtle tundra
#

it would've been from 200 dps upgrade to 150

#

if it were similar, i'd be ok

#

but its a lot better

vestal wren
#

you would still need to farm it, so your complain would still apply?

subtle tundra
#

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

vestal wren
#

in a dungeon you can do in 8 minutes

#

infinite

subtle tundra
#

i like playing the game

#

doing +2s isnt

vestal wren
#

thats fair, if you don't like doing certain content its fine to want this content to not be relevant

subtle tundra
#

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

vestal wren
#

the ring seems more problematic

subtle tundra
#

its less of an upgrade than the trinket

#

its only good if you autoattack a lot AND haste is good for your class

vestal wren
#

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

glass matrix
#

how good is the trinket from votw?

lethal saffron
#

im 251 and its worth about 270 dps

vestal wren
#

they should def. keep the items slightly stronger as raid options

#

it makes tw m+ relevant

subtle tundra
#

also, next week is push week so i wont have time to farm votw/cos OMEGAKEKW

urban nova
#

if you're pooling for envenom while on 4-5 CP and shiv comes off CD do you press it?

thin trout
#

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?

grand ridge
#

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

gusty mirage
#

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

glass tulip
#

Yeah it just doesn't make sense for such a weird timewalking item to outperform a current mythic level item by so much

gusty mirage
#

like rn I'm 252 ilvl equipped and upgrading my mh dagger to a 259 edge of night is only 148 dps

vestal wren
#

i am with that, as long as they stay good

gusty mirage
#

kinda wild that a legion m+ trinket is a bigger dps increase than that

vestal wren
#

e.g. just making tw items strictly worse takes away appeal to run it

gusty mirage
#

yeah that's what I'm worried about

#

that they obliterate them and make them bad

#

which is silly

vestal wren
#

the ring is rather irrelevant on sub, hence not a lot of ppl care about it that mainly play sub

gusty mirage
#

its a small dps increase right?

vestal wren
#

its not even a dps win

glass tulip
#

Is the appeal of timewalking to get current tier gear?

gusty mirage
#

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

vestal wren
#

i think timewalking is a experiment from blizz

#

to test the waters so to say

gusty mirage
#

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

vestal wren
#

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

gusty mirage
#

yeah I think if they pushed forth reviving old content like they did for legion tw m+ it'd be great

glass tulip
#

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.

gusty mirage
#

like not running retail keys and getting some reward is nice

vestal wren
#

only thing i wish is that they would re-visit the dungeons a bit

#

and fix some design issues

glass tulip
#

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

vestal wren
#

not sure if you would feel as obligated to farm if the difference was like .2% dps

glass tulip
#

Correct.

#

Hopefully FCM specifically gets tuned down

vestal wren
#

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

glass tulip
#

Which I think the M+ changes the for fun standpoint

#

people are still running current M+ for fun (or score) but mostly for fun

vestal wren
#

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

glass tulip
#

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

subtle tundra
#

i still dont understand why the majority of the playerbase will only play for the rewards :(, but thats besides the point

glass tulip
#

if the mage tower didnt give a reward I would have still gone to do it

copper sundial
#

i suppose people have different reasons for playing or derive fun in different ways. Personally gear incentivizes me without a doubt.

vestal wren
#

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

subtle tundra
#

well, true

#

but if there was no rewards they could've made it harder for the challenge

vestal wren
#

the challange are already tuned fairly tight

subtle tundra
#

im gonna finish all 7 mage towers soon(TM) and i guess the mount is nice

vestal wren
#

a lot of ppl struggle with subtlety, i get a lot of dms and #subtlety also has regular people come in that struggle

subtle tundra
#

imo the assa one was easy

#

its harder than normal content, but not hard

glass tulip
#

I wouldn't say easy but it definitely provides a fun level of challenge that feels good to clear

subtle tundra
#

well, i said imo cause for me it felt easy

vestal wren
#

i think its hard to generalize

#

because you can't expect everyone to be on the same level

subtle tundra
#

i like prestige, and making prestigious single player content would be very welcomed by me

uneven hamlet
#

it took me 100 tries for the assa challenge, but it was my first time

copper sundial
#

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.

uneven hamlet
#

the outlaw one i'm 30 tries in and w several -10% tries, so its way easier

vestal wren
#

just talking about subtlety, even experienced subtlety players with rly good parses often did require multiple tries to clear it

subtle tundra
#

took me like 3-4 hours of tries

#

for sub one

vestal wren
#

did you use any cheeses or in full sl gear?

subtle tundra
#

only unbridled pot

#

everything else, shadowlands

#

how tf do i put widgets on my phone screen

#

unrelated

vestal wren
#

and this comes to the point you need to consider the audience for the mage tower

glass tulip
#

usually hold down and itll pop an option up

subtle tundra
#

nothing pops up:(( there must be some setting somewhere

glass tulip
#

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

subtle tundra
glass tulip
#

That would be great, if it was advertised that way

subtle tundra
#

i shouldnt be able to go on a spec i dont play and knock it out in a couple of hours

vestal wren
#

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

glass tulip
#

but if it's tuned to heroic raid level? That sounds pretty reasonable

vestal wren
#

i am not sure whats the sweet spot

#

and i am luckily not in the positon to decide on this

glass tulip
#

heroic raid week 1/2 to be specific, but I agree I'm not trying to solve the shortcomings here

#

yeah lol

vestal wren
#

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

glass tulip
#

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

craggy ruin
#

hey guys, it's faulty countermeasure gonna be nerfed or ?

wooden dawn
#

noone knows yet

vestal wren

nothing official so far, so we can only guess
