hollow river
#

To tune every leggo in the game

clever kindle
#

they use rogues existence as a measure for tuning

#

unless it gets excessive

hollow river
#

So there’s no broken shit

viscid spear
#

They do tune rogues
Tune us out partyhardR

hollow river
#

It’s going to take a lot of time and work.

gusty mirage
#

They will, will they ALL get tuned appropriately? Probably not

hollow river
#

And patch drops in 1-2 months

marble hemlock
#

But after Legion and BfA and SL until now, I have zero faith in them doing what they say/need to do to make the whole system work, instead of half-assing it after the first half of the equation was done carefully and with a lot of thought put into it

clever kindle
#

I'd be curious to see the cumulative total of changes over the last 3 expacs because I would bet Rogue is the one that has shifted the least

gusty mirage
#

But if someone’s suddenly blasting 30% higher than other classes because of a leggo combo

#

It’ll get nerfed

marble hemlock
#

That's not a bad thing @clever kindle

#

Rogue changing very little, especially Assa Rogue, is a good thing.

clever kindle
#

Im not saying it is just that we tend to be a weather bell so to speak and tend to be tuned around

marble hemlock
#

It means the core class functions well without relying on rental power to be viable, and that the amount of tuning needed to make it a valid choice for any type of content is very small

viscid spear
#

Auto-refreshing SnD
prayge

hollow river
alpine latch
#

No you don't. It only requires KSM

#

2500 is KSM in 9.2

gusty mirage
#

It says keystone hero

hollow river
#

Even just fixing obedience to 1% vers would help bring us in line

gusty mirage
#

Not ksm

alpine latch
#

Oh shit

marble hemlock
#

How can you make a statement like that, when half the other classes don't even have accurate PTR sims yet though?

clever kindle
#

Thats only really the case because sins core class functions are juiced the fuck up with an aura buff

viscid spear
#

Oh really? I went in and it said Keystone Hero

alpine latch
#

I thought it just required KSM

#

fuck

viscid spear
#

ikr?

marble hemlock
#

Ye

hollow river
#

By testing the classes

#

And watching others test

#

In real time

marble hemlock
#

Testing what? You can't even use double legendaries yet

hollow river
#

?????? Bro

#

What

gusty mirage
#

They hotfixed it yesterday seli

hollow river
#

Yes you can

gusty mirage
#

Dw

viscid spear
#

No 278 Lashing for me for a while

subtle kiln
#

legendaries got tuned for rogues within the scope of where they wanted the powers, other specs didn’t adhere as closely

marble hemlock
#

So you tested all the classes in a single day, and can therefore reliably claim that Rogue needs buffs compared to other classes. Gotcha.

gusty mirage
#

They also turned obedience into the pally necro leggo

#

But people still freaking out

hollow river
marble hemlock
#

And testing stuff on dummies is obviously equivalent to proper sims as well

subtle kiln
#

@marble hemlock you progged all as assa in 9.0? I don’t recall.

marble hemlock
#

Nah

hollow river
gusty mirage
#

So as of right now if you did PTR double leggo testing with obedience. You didn’t actually test double leggo

#

Because obedience didn’t exist on ptr

subtle kiln
#

gottem

marble hemlock
#

I played it-that-shall-not-be-named and played Assa on Deny only

gusty mirage
hollow river
#

Yes, it did

clever kindle
subtle kiln
#

rogues stay within the needle while others did not

gusty mirage
clever kindle
#

You can take that as, the dev hits their mark and doesn't need to make adjustments, some people see it as the Rogue devs not listening

hollow river
marble hemlock
#

See, and this is why I think you're just talking out of your ass, no offense. You can't even use the leggo since the spell IDs got swapped and it's now a paladin legendary.

sly yoke
#

Yea blizzard do a little trolling

viscid spear
marble hemlock
#

Yours didn't just magically not swap while everybody elses did

subtle kiln
#

when you work to the assigned parameters and don’t deal with other specs how are you not listening?

marble hemlock
#

I'm happy to be proven wrong by you logging in and screencapping your Obedience, though

hollow river
#

Okay buddy

subtle kiln
#

overall balance is another issue, but as far as those assigned to rogue they did what they were supposed to do

gusty mirage
#

They literally messed up the spell id mapping with the build

hollow river
#

The fact that you guys think you’re always right no matter what is astounding, but I get it

subtle kiln
gusty mirage
marble hemlock
#

It has nothing to do with whether we think we are right. It's about us simply being right, because you cannot just magically use a different spell ID for a legendary in a game you do not have access to the code to

subtle kiln
hollow river
#

Not at home

marble hemlock
#

It's already confirmed by an actual dev to be a bug, that is hopefully getting fixed before tonights testing

sly yoke
#

Guys do we have any sub sims with double legos?

bleak sky
#

btw if 20s this season were easier than 9.0, I guess it's gonna be even easier on 9.2

hollow river
#

I had vers % and CDR

subtle kiln
#

obedience and sub fixes before testing copium

hollow river
#

Idk what to tell ya

marble hemlock
#

So unless you're saying that somehow the dev working on the fix knows less about what is and isnt working and what is and isnt bugged with the current PTR build, you're simply saying stuff that isn't true, and if you don't like being called out on that, then thats your problem, not ours.

pale knot
#

wait the set bouns is 40% increased dmg now ?

marble hemlock
#

Guess everybody else downloaded a different PTR build than you then

pale knot
#

i thought it was crit ?

hollow river
#

Ok man

#

Whatever

#

You’re right

#

Happy?

bleak sky
#

changed a long time ago from crit to inc damage Kess

marble hemlock
#

Not really, no

subtle kiln
#

seli is never happy

pale knot
#

really

hollow river
#

Good

#

I’m glad

sly yoke
marble hemlock
#

I'd prefer not needing conversations like these about people not spreading doom and gloom based on feelings and inaccurate information

hollow river
#

Smh

pale knot
#

alright arlight ty for infop

subtle kiln
#

every time someone spreads doom and gloom nova goes on a hunger strike and we don’t need that

marble hemlock
#

I kinda do, she's getting fat

subtle kiln
#

take her for walks

marble hemlock
subtle kiln
#

rent a border collie to chase her around. works here. lol

viscid spear
#

When are they going to give Engineers the ability to Lust?

echo geyser
clever kindle
#

probably never since that's traditionally been a leatherworking thing

inland hull
#

Oh I'm sure there are lustful engineers already

subtle kiln
marble hemlock
#

We already have leatherworking for BL

clever kindle
#

yeah engineer has b rez

marble hemlock
#

Engi should provide a less powerful version of shroud

viscid spear
marble hemlock
#

And it already has CR

clever kindle
#

I mean b rez is pretty damn powerful

#

on top of shields and freedom of movement stuff like the reuseable glider

subtle kiln
marble hemlock
#

Alchemists should be able to provide weapon oils that give a less powerful version of the magic/phys damage debuffs of dh/monk, inscription needs to get int/ap/stamina scrolls back etc.

copper sundial
#

Is it one +20 for keystone hero?

clever kindle
#

I miss being able to glide in raids blizz im sorry we glided for thunderfury to ash golm please bring it back

viscid spear
bleak sky
#

could be a new achievement for all +20s done

copper sundial
#

Ah

bleak sky
#

or could be a single +20 timed

marble hemlock
#

I mean, you just didnt use the defibrillator correctly and shocked yourself instead

subtle kiln
#

smooth brain rogue

viscid spear
clever kindle
#

pffft all these fancy new rez's

#

back in my day

#

we used to vanish then gnomish army knife someone

viscid spear
#

So just one timed +20

marble hemlock
#

Thats why the odds of a mis-cast on the CR and invis belt are higher if you have a lower engi skill

clever kindle
#

hoping you stayed out of combat

bleak sky
viscid spear
#

Though how that equates to Mythic Raid and Glad idk

bleak sky
#

it doesn't really make sense

copper sundial
#

Yeah its nuch easier

#

Much even

clever kindle
#

one twenty takes me under an hour

#

progging mythic raid and getting to glad are in the range of weeks

#

or months

marble hemlock
#

GL doing that at the start of a new tier

subtle kiln
#

will depend on tuning at start

clever kindle
#

people will be banging out 15s day one of the next patch

marble hemlock
#

Shittons of people will struggle with that, actually.

subtle kiln
#

right now, grated PtR and lulz, 15s looked to be causing some issues.

hollow river
marble hemlock
#

No one argued that.

clever kindle
#

Just a short ladder up, and yes sorry to clarify im mostly talking about people on the mythic end of things

marble hemlock
#

I just said that it's difficult to judge the viability of classes right now based on a single day of double-legendary testing, with our strongest combination not even working, and loads of bugs and issues floating around and some sets not having received final tuning yet.

bleak sky
#

ksm week 2 is a given, can prob time 20s week 2/3 as well

subtle kiln
#

i haven’t looked at other classes. are they just simming legos? or legos + interaction with tier?

marble hemlock
#

Half of them aren't simming anything

subtle kiln
#

smart

marble hemlock
#

WL will have working and accurate 9.2 sims when Hall of Fame for Sepulcher is finished

hollow river
clever kindle
#

hard to sim without trinket values and the rest of the tuning on tier sets

bleak sky
#

WL = ?

clever kindle
#

etc

subtle kiln
marble hemlock
#

Nah, WL simming is abysmal

subtle kiln
#

it’s all paywalled

marble hemlock
#

We do APL improvement for .2% dps increase, they fix their APL and its >10%

subtle kiln
#

they have plenty of people working on it just not anything open

alpine elm
viscid spear
#

I'm on the Mage Discord and I don't see hardly any 9.2 discussion

alpine elm
marble hemlock
#

You said quite a bit more than just "legendaries need some tuning".

bleak sky
#

idk man your damage looks pretty good to me

hollow river
clever kindle
#

Your damage on sylvanas is almost completely out of your hands

#

assuming you are doing your rotation right and being in the right spot

#

Most of your cooldowns are scripted and assigned

copper sundial
#

Plz no arrow rngesus

viscid spear
#

But I'm trying to be a leet mayge

clever kindle
#

yes also arrow

alpine elm

#

and chains

#

etc

subtle kiln
#

the spy vs spy conspiracy theories are strong this morning.

marble hemlock
hollow river
subtle kiln
#

I just stopped giving a shit. much easier. control what you can control and play your best.

marble hemlock
#

I'm done with this conversation, oxi and I both made it clear that we would prefer not needing to tell people to keep it in their pants and not claim that rogue is gonna be bad, when there's really no basis for a claim like that (yet). We're all happy to proclaim the end of the world with you, together, if there's actual reason to do so. Right now there isn't. Certainly not based on testing of broken and bugged things.

clever kindle
#

we're at probably the closest dps point in the history of WoW I think we'll be OK even if there are some outliers

alpine elm
#

Thing is like I most of the time compare myself to the other rogue in the guild and he somehow always beats me in p1 but idk how. I imo have litte better gear than him but he somehow does more with frost/and gets out more muti/envenoms

copper sundial
#

My BM hunter is ready fear not

bleak sky
#

p1 truly doesn't matter

#

p3 damage = big damage

alpine elm
#

It does for epen kekw

bleak sky
#

and you're doing just fine there

alpine elm
#

Ye i guess

subtle kiln
#

look at your p2 burns and p3

clever kindle
#

Correct P1 doesnt matter, but it could be your stat balance, RNG with chains and arrows, maybe your opener is slightly off?

#

hard for me to dive in because im at work to check

bleak sky
#

stat balance = whatever raidbots says

subtle kiln
#

mfd will pop p1 more if you can use it on chains.

clever kindle
#

and sentinels

#

even if its one at range thats about to die get a free reset

#

yoink free 5 cp

subtle kiln
#

yup

alpine elm
#

Well swapped to assassin like 2 days ago so I guess there is room to grow.

hollow river
alpine elm
#

I just hate how it feels to play 15% haste + mfd, since that is what simc says

hollow river
#

I swear some people are delusional about shit idk

alpine elm
#

But cant understand how that will be better for st

marble hemlock
#

Wow, discord blocked my average mfd enjoyer vs vigor enthusiast meme 😦

subtle kiln
#

wait i need this

#

slide into my dms

marble hemlock
#

I mean, its a shitty one but still

indigo mulch
#

Vigor best wife

#

Ez

marble hemlock
#

People who enjoy MfD are probably into feet as well

indigo mulch
#

Roflmao

nocturne geode
#

has there been any talk on dusk for chest possibility for main stat? we just gonna go with ring?

spice spire
marble hemlock
#

It'll depend on the stats on the set pieces, among a bunch of other things

spice spire
indigo mulch
#

Lets not kinkshame the poor feetworahippers

#

Poor guys just want to see some feet.

marble hemlock
#

So its too early to tell which slots the legendaries should go on

alpine elm
#

Ppl who like feet is neurologically explainable atleast

subtle kiln
#

I grabbed a ring cheap. can always resell it.

#

I like my secondaries and rings always seem to fuck me harder than daggers.

marble hemlock
#

Lets not discuss something as deplorable as foot fetishes in the assa channel. You'll find more supporters of that in sub or outlaw anyway, but its more of an offtopic thing.

nocturne geode
#

indigo mulch
#

I giggled

marble hemlock
#

If we had a League channel I'd send you there

indigo mulch
#

Lots of angry people there for sure.

marble hemlock
#

Or is that armpits now? I dont remember. Anyway, back to Assa.

Regarding the legendary pieces, theres a whole lot of decisiosn that go into what slots to craft legendaries on, often it's about opportunity cost and what other pieces are available for the same slot. Since we'll be running 4 set pieces that means it is likely we'll craft the legendary on whatever slot has the worst secondaries on the set piece.

#

I think we're still aiming for crit/haste next tier, at least at the moment, so pray for a vers mastery set chest or smth so you can safely craft dusk on chest with actual good stats.

grand ridge
#

I think someone mentioned haste mastery

marble hemlock
#

I might misremember smth, but Whispyr was talking about crit/haste not that long ago

drifting cloud
marble hemlock
#

Emphasis on "more sims coming"

#

Will also depend on the itemization of the raid pieces, SoD for example had a lot of crit gear

viscid spear
#

Overtimed a NW+16 by 4 minutes, got 68 points and the Flayedwing Toxin

#

1966 now

spice spire
#

Horde was the move

viscid spear
#

Sure as hell was

#

The aoe dispel on Torrent is nice

#

Was able to knock off the healing hots off Mists trash

bleak sky
viscid spear
#

I believe so

#

Only lookign for Halls right now

#

Lot nicer people

just complete a few 16s and you're there

hoary remnant
viscid spear
#

+2'd a Halls 15 with Minal, got 11 points

plush isle
#

saw a clip pre nerf t set with Gingi as Surv and JPC at the target dummy and JPC got outdamaged by 3k singeltarget, lets see what Aura Buff we get next patch 😉

viscid spear
#

Looks like I'll have to wait until next week and do a Tyr run of NW or SoA

bleak sky
#

if you time your other 15s/16s you can get it

viscid spear
#

Hmm

#

Maybe a DoS, my best there is 15 & 14, both overtimed, Fort & Tyr respectively

bleak sky
#

time a PF,ToP and DoS and you should get it

#

15s

viscid spear
#

Then you have Spires and NW, which are 13 & 12 on Tyr

#

A timed 15 would be worth more than an overtimed 17?

bleak sky
#

probably, not sure

hollow river
#

I can’t remember for sure though

#

Can check my RIO maybe

viscid spear
#

Like that shaman said, I don't understand the score system peepostudy

hollow river
#

A timed 15 is roughly 127 points total

#

Depending on if you 1, 2 or 3 chest

#

An untimed 16 is roughly 124 points total

viscid spear
#

I have a Tyr PF+15 timed in 30min

#

The Fort +17 was 42:46

hollow river
#

So an untimed 17 should be just over a timed 15 but barely

#

The score system is like

#

If you have a timed +10 that’s worth 100 points total

#

A timed +15 of that dungeon will give you 27 more points

#

(Example)

viscid spear
#

We 2-chested that Halls+15, when my best was an OT +14, and got 11 points

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

That’s how it works

bleak sky
#

it also depends on how much you OT'd by

viscid spear
#

Might've just missed timing it I suppose

inland hull
#

The direction they're going with the new tier set has me so hyped to try it in M+

hollow river
#

Cleaving during your vendetta is kinda wonky feeling

#

2 targets is much more difficult

bleak sky
#

monkaSTEER ruptures

inland hull
#

Optimizing will take a good bit of work, but the idea that I'll have a legit aoe burst cd is nice

hollow river
#

After the nerf it was kinda underwhelming

#

On 4 targets

inland hull
#

Well that's sad to hear, but I've got nothing there now, so anything should help

hollow river
#

Garrotes go brrr

#

I mean it’s still more aoe than we had before kekw

inland hull
#

I'm curious on where it'll end up for ST. As in, how much it'll replace the loss of dom shards

hollow river
#

I think it replaces them well enough

#

And with double legendaries it more than replace them

limber lion
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

dawn ivy
#

was there a consensus on using a 2-3 point finisher during flag near the very end? im on ptr and it feels more beneficial to do that now than before

#

or rather it seems that situation occurs consistently

limber lion
#

Prior to 9.2, we always want to build to max-1, even during Flag.

#

Not sure how it would work out with Duskies

#

and the 4p

#

But we'll need to try some stuff out

slow marsh
#

If you're playing obed yes it's a slight gain to finish on 3 if flag is expiring for the cdr

dawn ivy
#

granted this is without lust so im sure it will be easier to yoink an extra global in there to get higher stacks

#

currently im not getting much more stacks than 9.1.5, maybe 2-3 more on average but feels similaer

slow marsh
#

I was having the same issues yesterday, flag stacks kinda suffer because no MA

limber lion
#

That's fine.

dawn ivy
#

yeah it sucks losing ma while gaining this much energy

#

kind of an equal trade in regards to flag stacks

slow marsh
#

Yeah

#

Also some of that haste is getting wasted inside of vend anyways because of overcap so it works out weirdly

dawn ivy
#

ive started weaving in belf racial in the opener because you just have no energy on pull with mfd

#

garrote-mutilate-SnD and im empty already lmfao

slow marsh
#

Yeah that's when I usually torrent anyways

dawn ivy
#

even added ~10% haste from gems and itemization to get some form of energy back

atomic saddle
#

Any rogues streaming PTR today?

limber lion
#

I've been using torrent in the opener since 9.0

#

Would highly recommend it

#

No reason not to slap it there

vast forum
#

assa energy in such a bad state, torrent is used in the opener kekw

dawn ivy
#

yeah, ill normally drop it within vendetta once i run dry, but now its in the first few globals lmfao

slow marsh
#

Try gar snd mut torrent Mut flag

dawn ivy
#

see i was thinking that gar slice would be totally doable as youre still going to reup the SnD before it drops

vast forum
#

not worth using gar in MA window

#

or is it nowadays? 😄

dawn ivy
#

not using ma

gusty mirage
#

We’re talking about ptr

vast forum
#

oh

#

my bad

dawn ivy
#

not in 9.2

vast forum
#

i'll go retreat back into my comfy sub channel peepohappy

gusty mirage
dawn ivy
#

god yoppa cant you tell im talking about 9.2 even though im in the wrong channel

gusty mirage
#

Threads aren’t channels, so you’re not in the “wrong” channel

slow marsh
#

I'm debating on if I should wander off into necroland for today's testing

dawn ivy
#

no shot

#

flag going to be useful for the add phases

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

Well yeah not because it'll be better than venth, because I want to see how bad it is even on a fight where it should in theory be good

dawn ivy
#

i think vigilant gaurdian might be a necro fight

#

lots of adds spawning and dying but living long enough to deal dot damage

#

as meme as it is to theorize the first fucking boss pepechortle

slow marsh
#

The pantheon too maybe

dawn ivy
#

oh 100%

#

pantheon im genuinely prepping

#

all 4 coucil members of that fight at important and need to drop at the same % last i checked

#

and theres never less than two targets

slow marsh
#

But that's my point I want to know if it's even viable on fights where it should be decent or if it'll just be full send venth for everything

dawn ivy
#

(?)

#

i think venthyr will be fullsend on basically every fight

#

honestly now that i rmemeber the necro leggo, its probably not good on guardian

#

LOL

#

i always forget we have to lug that fucking legendary around

slow marsh
#

It'd be good for padding on the first part lol

dawn ivy
#

lmao

slow marsh
#

Then the execute phase comes and you're just sadge

dawn ivy
#

theres actually a decent number of fights this tier that have a sudden second add

#

which i think heavily favors assa

slow marsh
#

nobody will believe me but my unbias opinion is that sin will be the prevailing spec if it's going to get played at high levels

dawn ivy
#

dreadlords/halondrus/dausegne are specifically only ever 1-2 target fights, and then theres fights where there are adds but theres a huge prio target like anduin

#

if tuning is halfway decent and sub 4pc doesnt get reworked, then yeah sin will almost surely be the forerunner rn

slow marsh
#

yeah there's so much cleave and with 4p it multiplies our cleave strength even more

dawn ivy
#

subs RNG is through the roof and idk how viable that is for real prog

subtle kiln
shy dust
#

Why would you wft a havoc

dawn ivy
#

havoc isnt going the windfury build

#

theyre eyebeam gamers

subtle kiln
#

why would you take more than 5 melee 🙂

slow marsh
#

ehhhhh

bleak sky
#

I'm going fb/db, eybeam build sucks to play

slow marsh
#

Ye I think fb / db is better

subtle kiln
#

idk fury being glory simps. guess you toss a DK in there for amz

bleak sky
#

dk is bdk

slow marsh
#

UH might get to go with their massive buffs

bleak sky
#

unless the conduit buffs for grippy hands make dk viables

subtle kiln
#

i’m curious what the buffs do to UH

dawn ivy
#

its good for them but pretty sure theyre not in "the" tier

#

for melee that is

slow marsh
#

ye

dawn ivy
#

havoc/fury/rogue/enhance look the best rn

#

enhance is going to get so gutted lmao i almost feel bad

subtle kiln
#

just have to hope uptime kills fury.

viscid spear
slow marsh
#

Sin should have a unique niche in that having vend every 45-50s means we have "burst" for every mechanic that gets even better with any simping

dawn ivy
#

i mean enhance is just overperforming

subtle kiln
#

and it’s not like arms is in a bad spot, just no glory simp

dawn ivy
#

theyre nuts

slow marsh
#

I dont think you take 3 wars this go around with tier sets

dawn ivy
#

keep in mind they have alluded to sweeping tier tuning soon

#

so fury might get obliterated

subtle kiln
dawn ivy
#

oh how are warlocks doing, is it good?

slow marsh
#

From what scari was saying they are gonna be looking closely at overall class balance after they get tier sets hammered out

dawn ivy
#

havent heard anyhting from warlocks

slow marsh
#

Demo is solid but doubt it gets the simp it needs to function

subtle kiln
#

warlocks are like fight club. they don’t talk about warlocks.

dawn ivy
#

yeah i have a feeling fury war is gonna get tapped along with havoc, and enhance is gonna get fuckin shot and thrown in the river

slow marsh
#

the other two are meh from what my lock guildie says

dawn ivy
#

last time enhance was good was when they abused a mechanic pepechortle

viscid spear
#

Why doesn't Ash Crawler stealth with me? ApuStruggling

subtle kiln
#

what’s hilarious is if you do 4 fury warriors and (i forgot the enhance setup) they all feed off glory mastery

slow marsh
#

try getting loot for 4 fury wars in the first week kekw

subtle kiln
#

i mean we saw multiple DKs geared out in 9.0

#

so I doubt that’s a major concern

slow marsh
#

with weapon tokens yeah

#

and no tier set

rare token
#

any thoughs on sin so far in ptr?

grand ridge
#

Isn't it better to have more people who use the same gear due to personal loot

slow marsh
#

ye

#

but it has drs

#

like anything

slow marsh
grand ridge
#

Does our 2 set still slap for aoe despite the nerf

slow marsh
#

not as hard but yes

grand ridge
#

Hellll yeah

subtle kiln
# slow marsh and no tier set

yes but should be able to hard stack normal with current crafted legos to trade all Normal tier loot just to finish off a bonus.

#

but that’s for the big brained world firsters to sort out with splits.

dawn ivy
#

cant get 4pc week one is depressing

subtle kiln
#

makes week 2 choices a bit more interesting for race

clever kindle
#

ah yes because like normal most people end up with a full 4 piece set in the first week

#

It is a clever way to prevent that via the use of splits, if the bosses simply do not drop the items

clever kindle
#

you're free to have your opinion, I personally couldn't give less of a shit

bleak sky
#

it's good that rogues get good use of 2pc

#

but the classes that aren't as fortunate are kinda cucked

clever kindle
#

That's an issue that should be addressed by class designers if someones 2 piece is useless like ours was, but all classes and specs weren't built equal and never will be; people will have advantages at various stages of prog

RWF is only echo and limit to alot of people

#

and tbh i kinda get it

gusty mirage
#

weird

clever kindle
#

I think people are going to see the race as being between the two frontrunners, not that the other guilds aren't putting in work on the same un-nerfed bosses with the same prep, but opinions on creating vs using a strategy will probably overshadow most else

#

If I tune in to F1 I'm not particularly looking to see the back third of the pack

marble hemlock
#

what even is that comparison

#

its not like the 3rd or 4th place are "the back third of the pack" comparatively

daring plover
marble hemlock
#

theyre a few days behind, at most

dawn ivy
#

or maybe people only see Limit and Echo as being perfect, and any guild that uses something slightly different than the top 2 are just bad at game (if limit/echo doesnt use rogue, rogue bad)

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

like in crucible

#

when method was running the full warlock stack and lost

#

Just cause someone finishes first, doesn't mean their comp or strategy was prefect. More often than not, you'll hear people from those very same guilds discuss how they felt they could've done better comp-wise, as constant improvement is the #1 goal for these people

dawn ivy
#

for example limit heavily regretted having any venthyr druid in the raid

marble hemlock
#

So dunno why people consider their comps or the lack of certain classes in their comps the go-to, when those guilds themselves admit to not running perfect comps

dawn ivy
#

they admit night fae was not only equal in prog, but better in general

marble hemlock
#

Both guilds said that their lack of rogues hurt their chances of getting first

#

Because Rogue was very very good on Sylv

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

As was proven by the runner-ups

#

@daring plover PepeLoser

#

youre not even a rogue anymore

#

youre a wizard now

#

What comparison, you can use real data to prove it out. Sorry to say but the community at large does not care if you're a day behind or 5 days behind which was the only point I wanted to make

Now you just have to wait for your letter to Hogwarts

using that logic

clever kindle
#

You would be hard pressed to find people who could name the top 5 guilds to kill Sylv

marble hemlock
#

Yeah well, large parts of the community also happen to be stupid. Why argue or follow arguments with stupid people

clever kindle
#

Why? So you can make fun of their fans of course

viscid spear
#

Surely you will be sorted into Slytherin, you traitor

clever kindle
#

You need someone to complete against, and then you can start your fanboy calculus on why your team lost

gusty mirage
#

huh?

clever kindle
#

No

marble hemlock
#

Yeah gonna press a big selidoubt on that one

gusty mirage
#

if you're even watching the RWF

marble hemlock
#

Most people cant even name Limit/Echo, for that matter, because they dont care

gusty mirage
#

you know all those guilds

marble hemlock
#

But anyone following the RWF knows like 10+ guild names

#

They know that guilds like Aversion, like Exorsus, like Pieces, FatSharkYes etc. exist

clever kindle
#

Max has said before and I'm sure it's come up elsewhere but a significant portion of the RWF viewership doesn't even play WoW

marble hemlock
#

Well, exorsus doesnt anymore

subtle kiln
#

you should follow bdgg on twitter. they are the real winners there.

Rip exorsus

pretty sure i still like it though

limber lion

I don't think it's too clunky after playing with it quite a bit

#

I enjoy the playstyle

dawn ivy
#

yeah i just gotta get used to consistently remembering to reup garrote at 7-8 seconds of vendetta

slow marsh

Im enjoying it for sure it just feels a bit awkward in the opener

You literally do not have to look at stats ever

not in raid, not in m+

Worrying about stats is completely useless waste of energy

#

It only matters when you're doing +30's and pushing for rank 1 parses.

tired falcon
#

i mean, i certainely know

#

but i know the woes of having the complete wrong stats

oak sky
#

all the stats are fine in m+ tbh

limber lion
#

wut

#

did you not hear what I just said

#

There are no "completely wrong stats"

#

You can literally have 50% haste and 0 crit/mastery

#

and do just fine

#

like it does not matter

tired falcon
#

ik, but i wanna do big dam

limber lion
#

Then play better

#

With optimal gear you can edge out 100 dps more

#

not 5k

#

putting so much emphasis on stats is a waste of time, trust me.

#

I'm always the top dps in the dungeons that I run

#

and the only mastery I get is from my Sylvanas chestplate and my Zoldyck

#

nothing else

#

"Not having the right secondaries" is just a lazy excuse for playing bad

#

"I do bad dps because I don't have enough crit/mastery" is not a thing.

oh trust me i know, but knowing i can do bigger damage is sad
