echo geyser
viscid spear
#

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

limber lion
#

that looks crazy

strange python
#

Y'all ready for Night Fae for windfury?

limber lion
#

Oh shit the toy lasts for 5 minutes and has a 5 minute cooldown

viscid spear
limber lion
#

permanent uptime

#

guess that settles it then

strange python
#

Our enh is going NF

viscid spear
#

I mean the sword, silly

strange python
#

No :(

#

I played druid in vanilla

echo geyser
#

starege i did level NF for toy + mogs + wep illusion

summer cipher
#

Does shiv increase Bleed Damage?

#

@limber lion do you offer coaching sessions on how to not hate sepsis?

oak sky
#

press the button and pretend nothing happened

gusty mirage
#

isn't that how its used now?

oak sky
#

no idea

#

havent played it

limber lion
#

isn't that how flag works?

oak sky
#

no we press mfd during it and its really poggers

#

so different

limber lion
#

you can press mfd during sepsis if you want

#

very poggers

oak sky
#

my god

#

i hadnt tried that

#

next time for sure

#

i bet it does juicer damage

limber lion
#

nah

#

still bad

oak sky
#

unlucky ep deeper here i come

balmy condor
#

Wait

#

No flag means no mfd

#

Does nf play deeper

#

I must investigate

oak sky
#

it plays bs/ds for sure

balmy condor
nimble tartan
#

im leveling nf rn…

oak sky
#

mfs been pullin up

#

just to hate

#

im about love and positivity

#

tryna put out good energy

balmy condor
#

loving venthyrs personality

#

true

#

on god

slow marsh
#

deeper NF feels decent

#

I want to see NF sims now

#

down the rabbit hole

balmy condor
#

I do too but I don't know what side I'm arguing for anymore

#

cause if it doesn't play mfd

slow marsh
#

lmao

balmy condor
#

Im interested

#

but it's fae

#

which im not interested

#

but korayn on these fights

#

interested

#

but podtender

#

not interested

oak sky
#

pod Cring

sour wraith
#

double cheat death 2ez

balmy condor
#

but venth timings and not being able to hit any of these fucking bosses for 12 seconds

#

not good

#

but sepsis 1:30 cd

#

not good

nimble tartan
#

why dont u like podtender bro

#

thats double cheat Pog

balmy condor
#

because it procs alongside cheat death

#

and then you can't move

#

and it fucks you

nimble tartan
echo geyser
#

rly?

steel geyser
#

big lie

balmy condor
#

it happens fairly often yeh

sour wraith
#

just proc cheat death before choosing dreamweaver

echo geyser
sour wraith
#

and then proc on cd

#

they'll never line up

echo geyser
#

just play elusiveness/leeching?

balmy condor
#

take a big enough hit and it'll proc both at the same time

#

it's so giga cringe

nimble tartan
#

whats cd of pod tho

steel geyser
#

just don't take big hit

echo geyser
#

10 or 8min?

steel geyser
balmy condor
#

yeah just don't take a big hit that requires cheat or pod in the first place

nimble tartan
#

i played elusive on argus prog bro brainx

balmy condor
#

🧠

nimble tartan
#

i knew i wasnt gonna die im just different tho

balmy condor
#

we leeching poison gamers

balmy condor
echo geyser
#

i wonder if that talent DR's with leech on gear

#

if it doesnt

nimble tartan
#

i cant bully skip anymore bro he too sensitive...

echo geyser
#

u can have easily 20-25%

#

ah fuck the BoEs were tier slots in 9,2

#

nvm cant pay 2 win leech

Even worse it’s mastery 😦

anyways its pretty cringe that boes are tier slots

balmy condor

deserved

before hacha spends more gold than limit

Mail classes get all the luck. #WhenIsItOurTurn

oak sky
#

this patch was our turn unfortunately

balmy condor
slow marsh
#

Ye 5 sockets and both boes

#

EP/DS also probably outvalues mfd for aoe because of CT?

balmy condor
#

heavy doubt on that one

limber lion
balmy condor
#

if you're doing aoe you're getting resets

limber lion
#

big stonks

balmy condor
limber lion
#

the subterfuge mutilate stealth line

#

that I spoke about yesterday

#

that was with nf though, let me check if Venthyr gets something from it with DS as well

#

I hope not

#

🤞

balmy condor
#

oh

#

that one

#

yeah

limber lion
#

0.5% gain for NF

balmy condor
#

if venth DS is pog then nf is dead to me

limber lion
#

pretty poggers

oak sky
#

true

balmy condor
#

but if venth mfd stays alive

oak sky
#

venth DS is best case

balmy condor
#

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

oak sky
#

mfd is fine tho ur straight coping

#

i only want deeper to be good so i'm right

echo geyser
#

doesnt obedience gain even more with mfd ?

#

compared to current dashing or w/e

oak sky
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

mfd is bad

echo geyser
#

and still maybe ds win

oak sky
#

we were heading towards deeper anyway

#

with enough gear

limber lion
#

Whispyr has been saying that since CN

#

Still waiting

limber lion
#

@balmy condor I reran your sim and I somehow lose 700 dps. Any ideas?

balmy condor
#

yeah get gud

#

idk

limber lion
#

Like your Venth sim goes from 11884 to 11106

#

monkas

literally copypaste

balmy condor

balmy condor

echo geyser
limber lion
#

I was stoked to see NF popping off, didn't buy the 1k difference though

balmy condor
#

waiting for obedience fixes

limber lion
#

sera pls

balmy condor
#

it ain't even seriallos

#

we might have to wait for next weeks ptr build

limber lion
#

oh yuk

#

that sucks major cock

balmy condor
#

I think the way scari put the change in wasn't a hotfix or anything

#

so the ptr obedience is still bugged

#

which means the spell data simc pulls is still bugged

#

which means broken

limber lion
#

And we can't utilize the Unity code in any way?

#

Because the belt works

balmy condor
#

unity is actually funny in sims because of bonus id's from what I know

limber lion
#

Ah okay

balmy condor
#

I tried it on..... wednesday? and it didn't work

limber lion
#

Okay well rip

#

Do you have a talent-string for advanced that I could copy? @balmy condor

#

I think I have the one I made in our dms actually

balmy condor
#

a talent-string?

limber lion
#

just a list of copies for every talent setup

#

but I found it

#

I was actually looking forward to playing Fae

#

With DS, I'm not so sure.

balmy condor
#

no no

#

DS is poggers

#

this is good

#

we like this

limber lion
#

I'm so anxious to see the Venthyr sims

balmy condor
#

I'm okay with this

#

play jank covenant to avoid jank talent

#

a sacrifice I'm willing to make

echo geyser
balmy condor
#

an unlikely ally

#

in my dislike for mfd

#

truly wretched times we're having

slow marsh
#

a win for me

#

we get to keep whispy

arctic walrus
#

@balmy condor what wrong?

balmy condor
#

night fae sims higher with deeper than mfd

#

and that's a good thing

#

but it means I might actually play fae

#

which is not a good thing

arctic walrus
#

bruh

#

dont say that

balmy condor
#

but a necessary sacrifice to make to avoid mfd

arctic walrus
#

wth??

slow marsh

you mustn't give up....have faith in the Vamp lords!

I mean vamp isn't dead heh pun

venth is good

balmy condor
#

fae is good

arctic walrus
#

@sudden brook hey bestie heard ur looking for a new cf

balmy condor
#

like fae was never bad this ptr cycle

sudden brook
slow marsh
#

I think if they take away the snapshot on vend then we maybe lose enough cdr to make vend and flag actually line up

arctic walrus
#

multispec freakazoid thought you wouldn't mind

slim wagon
slow marsh
#

even better

loud light
#

a few weeks before 9.2 isn't too late to just redesign sepsis to not be the most boring ability in the world... right?

sudden brook
arctic walrus
#

is sub simming higher than this dog spec anyway

echo geyser
#

@balmy condor if they give us the gcd from AR on fae its only like 0.1% gain right or less

echo geyser
balmy condor
#

sub sims are like 13.8 or some shit

#

sin is scratching 12

echo geyser
#

disapawnted we'll see when hc week hits

arctic walrus
#

but bugs and shit yeah?

limber lion
#

What a beauty

#

I sim more in the live game currently

echo geyser
#

does that mean the bosses will have less hp than current raid

echo geyser
arctic walrus
#

bosses have 0 hp when you look at them from the bench

@balmy condor is rogue good

Yes

I asked one person

slow marsh
#

Lol

thorny pond
#

one of the main TCers for rogue won't think rogue is anything but good

#

the man selling hotdogs prefers hamburgers

slow marsh
#

Damn I wish I could go on Max's discord and @him and ask if raid leading is good

#

And when someone else answers tell them I asked one person

#

Pretty Cring

thorny pond
#

Go to church, ask if god is good

slow marsh
#

Fr

#

What a dumbass question lol

thorny pond
#

only discord that won't lean into their spec is balance

#

but fuck boomkins

slow marsh
#

Then say "I asked one person"

thorny pond

"I asked Jesus if god was good"

Put your daggers on a stick! It’s the TIER of the SPEAR. Surv Hunter Best Hunter!

thorny pond
#

yea take the @livid escarp comparison whispyr

limber swallow
#

I dunno if rogues are any good.. but I kinda want a hamburger now.

limber lion
#

MFD better with the current apl, DS better with the new mystery apl

thorny pond
#

the janky APL Cev?

#

with the broken obe?

limber lion
#

No, this is NF

#

NF > Venthyr

slow marsh
#

Is mystery apl full send ?

limber lion
#

No

slow marsh
#

I did want to see what full send NF looked like vs holding sepsis for shiv

thorny pond
#

Man

limber lion
#

Let me see if I can do some full send sims

#

I think they're a bit too elaborate for me though but I'll give it a shot lmao

oak sky

#

mfd gameplay is just press on cd right?

#

and save when flag is almost off cd? if so, how much time can i save mfd for it?

Yes 15s

cool, thanks

balmy condor
# lucid birch <@167090536602140682> is rogue good

I need help everyone, I'm trying really hard to play disc but today during our raid testing I was playing out of my mind, every gcd beautifully chained together, big ramps and dodging mechanics left and right. At the end of the pull I checked the meters and I was only at 8600 hps, barely above our blood dk. Then the worst part, I hear a mic queue up in discord and it was our MW apologizing because he had to answer the phone mid pull. Immediately my eyes shoot back to the meter and he was at 16.4k hps with his eyes closed. Is this spec even playable?

fleet anchor
#

Turns out Whispyr was holding back NF all this time. Smh

#

It’s all a plot

thorny pond
#

Osh was right the whole time

fleet anchor
#

I mean definitely not the whole time but yeah. 😛

thorny pond
#

we hung him like the hung jesus. osh died for our sins

#

frick

abstract leaf
#

Theory crafting was invented by whisper to make rogues look good change my mind

balmy condor
fleet anchor
#

This is a pretty simple change. It’s just removing a tweak Whispyr had found in CN that used to be a gain on Mutilate vs Ambush. But current gear levels likely changed the small bias there.

thorny pond
#

did you carry the 1?

fleet anchor
#

This is fairly typical tier migration stuff as gear shifts.

balmy condor
#

I invented patchwerk sims because rogue single target is good

fleet anchor
#

Sub 1% changes are still relatively meaningless at the end of the day but will help make some more informed decisions for next tier.

slow marsh
#

I mean venth on paper should still be better

thorny pond
#

good thing we play this game on a pc not paper

fleet anchor
#

Not like this is earth shattering but it’s good to know that it’s worth using Ambush again

balmy condor
#

kind of a real pain in my ass

fleet anchor
#

Well hasn’t that always been the case though? Necro preferred Deeper before other Covenants

slow marsh
#

True

limber lion
#

Yeah, it also means we use Slice much earlier

#

which is great

#

Feels bad building to 5 combo points before pressing Slice

#

gar slice ambush, now that's an opener

thorny pond
#

No waste for Cev

#

no sir

slow marsh
#

So what makes ambush over Mut better tho

fleet anchor
#

I mean I think it’s definitely better for us if Subterfuge is marginally better than MA if only because it gives some more flexibility in cleave and stuff as well.

#

All things being equal it’s probably better to run Subterfuge

slow marsh
#

I think MA was only competitive on venthyr anyways

balmy condor
#

So it was kind of okay

#

But now there’s like an actual fairly substantial difference

fleet anchor
#

You could probably just build it into the profile btw

#

talent_override=marked_for_death,if=covenant.venthyr

balmy condor
#

no can do

#

brain too small

#

sorry

#

Simply not intellectual enough

you lost push?

balmy condor

might want to get that checked out

That's disturbing

How goes the spear Ice?

slow marsh

thorny pond

limber lion
#

Sending ain't looking good for NF

#

Def want to hold Sepsis for Shiv everytime.

fleet anchor
#

Big bonk

sour wraith
#

makes sense w/ the 2pc

slow marsh
#

The send shiv isn't far behind tho

limber lion
#

Actually, the apl holds it for Vendetta everytime.

#

Because of duskies

fleet anchor
#

I mean Send Shiv is basically so small of a difference tbh in practice

slow marsh
#

With multi target send shiv would outpace

limber lion
#

Yeh

slow marsh
#

It's not bad to hold sep for next vend tho I'm down for that

fleet anchor
#

We already send Shiv most of the time anyway. Just Vendetta sync. But NF has some logic that actually makes it more aggressive in practice other than syncing with bonk.

arctic walrus
#

the fuck i just read

slow marsh
fleet anchor
#

I mean it’s hard to say because gear has changed so much

bronze pike
#

Such a change of pace not gonna lie

faint harness
#

"ambush over mut better tho"

fleet anchor
#

If were to guess I’d say it’s just energy gen

limber lion
#

It's just that we don't really value cp gain from subterfuge as much as with Master Assassin

#

Even more so when playing NF instead of Venthyr

#

Or at least, that's one part for sure.

fleet anchor
#

Before the difference of the efficiency of using Mutilate when you didn’t have an Ambush proc was much higher and that probably mattered more. Also CP gen for setting up SnD before CttC

#

Multiple small factors adding up most likely

limber lion
#

A lot has changed since we dabbled with NF

slow marsh
#

All the non sin players coming to a whole new spec with 9.2 sin

limber lion
#

Good thing the apl already uses Ambush so we don't even need to change anything

fleet anchor
#

Also have to consider with the set bonuses the value of Subt changes in general so it changes a lot of factors

#

Subt was awful for a long time so we didn’t care much about it

arctic walrus
fleet anchor
#

So this is not really a strange finding. Pretty routine tbh

#

Sub 1% on a large gear change with a different talent that used to be bad and a new set bonus and more gear is kinda… just normal stuff 😄

#

We will talk about it tomorrow probably!

limber lion
slow marsh
#

Ye its already technically better to open with ambush slice so it makes sense as we get more gear

#

If it would increase the damage to CP gen ratio gap

fleet anchor
#

Honestly we can probably say we are on the fortunate side in terms of how little we have to change the APL for Assassination

#

Compare to most specs

limber lion
#

We also used to play Doomblade back in CN, which valued Mutilate over Ambush as well.

#

A bunch of things

slow marsh
#

2p tied to shiv helps a lot actually on terms of apl

fleet anchor
#

The fact that most of the APL is still from early BfA and still seemingly optimal outside of some CD stuff and a few DoT refresh thresholds is kinda lol

slow marsh
#

Just remove the hold shiv for vend bit and voila

limber lion
#

We love it.

fleet anchor
#

Sub APL was almost fully rewritten after the revamps in prepatch and moving forward for comparisons

#

Assassination has stayed relatively consistent for a long time

#

Which makes sense considering Blizzard hasn’t really changed the spec much at all

#

Other than borrowed power

limber lion
#

It's been the same spec for like 5 years now

#

But yeah, good stuff.

fleet anchor
#

I’m not against it lol

What's our stat prio? Thought it was Haste > Crit > Vers > Mast, but looking at logs its seems like people are doing Crit > Haste > Vers > Mast 🤔

subtle kiln
#

crit haste with frost shards

balmy condor
#

Crit haste without frost shards as well

subtle kiln
#

just sim self

balmy condor
#

Just more haste and less crit

#

But yeah

#

small nymph
#

Ahh, haven't raided in a while 😅

#

Usually stick to mythics

balmy condor

Should sim yo self for those as well

#

We sim stat weights now?

subtle kiln
#

top gear

balmy condor
#

Never sim stat weights

small nymph
#

Just simmed, it wants me to put on my crit/vers over haste/vers ring and enchant haste on everything 🤔

balmy condor
#

Makes sense

small nymph
#

And switch out my 252 Haste/Mast amulet for my 239 Crit/vers :s

balmy condor
#

Also makes sense

small nymph
#

Fair enough

balmy condor
#

The 252 haste/mast is tarragrue neck right

#

That shit with like 3000 mastery and 20 haste?

subtle kiln
#

rocking 42% crit and 14% haste. still want more crit.

small nymph
#

The mists one

balmy condor
#

Oh that one sucks too

small nymph
#

Got it week one in S2 so 😅

balmy condor
#

Mastery bad

#

Well, mastery is okay, as long as you don’t have it on more than 1 piece

small nymph
#

Think most of my shit is crit/haste or crit/vers now 😂

balmy condor
#

As it should be

hexed frost
balmy condor
#

Bs/ds is optimal on guardian

#

Next best would be ep/mfd for everything

#

Ep/vig being behind that

hexed frost
slow marsh
#

I mean you can just play ep mfd if it's that big a deal

balmy condor
#

Yeppers

#

If you hate bs just go ep mfd

subtle kiln
#

better off playing whatever you’re more comfortable with. that’s most optimal vs the minor increase from talents you don’t enjoy or play with often.

hexed frost
#

Another thing, if i have full CP and have both shiv off CD and rupture in pandemic window, which is priority? Shiv or rupture?

balmy condor
#

Shiv

slow marsh
#

It's always shiv bb

subtle kiln
#

#tbocd

balmy condor
#

Your question is “shiv is off cd”

#

Which is “press it”

glass tulip
#

but then refreshing rupture during shiv 🤔

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

What about it

glass tulip
#

idk why wouldnt you be trying to fit envenoms in instead

subtle kiln
#

people still overvalue that

balmy condor
#

Because you’d be holding shivs

subtle kiln
#

vs losing a shiv cast

balmy condor
#

Shiv is not an envenom buffer

#

It’s not a burst window

slow marsh
#

Shiv is uptime debuff

balmy condor
#

Shiv is a debuff you keep up on the target like a bleed

glass tulip
#

I see

#

@slow marsh get your sylv kill in? Looks like your guild private logs

slow marsh
#

Yeah they do it's cringe

glass tulip
#

rip

lean coral
#

But y

slow marsh
#

Idk

#

I suspect drama but I haven't asked yet

lean coral
#

Anti poaching maybe

#

Fucked you over tho if you try to move on to a better guild unless you log yourself

balmy condor
#

Anti Poaching is like 95% of guilds reasons to private log

slow marsh
#

Meh I'll be fine

#

Logs are shit right now anyways unless you're getting the treatment

hexed frost
#

wtf is anti-poaching in wow

lean coral
#

Private logging so other guilds can't check your raiders out

slow marsh
#

I went from 851 heroic last tier to 99 this tier. Does that mean next tier I go to #1?

# lean coral Private logging so other guilds can't check your raiders out

I remember being surprised when this mentality was a thing when i started working for Google's YouTube API last year. I was called into HR office and given a warning that i was not allowed to browse through any other companies' recruitment portals(they had blacklisted a ton of competitor's sites like amazon, microsoft to name). WoW is same i guess

hexed frost

#

The reason I would private log, if any, would be to stop people from doing what I do. I open their guild, stalk their rogues, then say specifically in my application that I think I am better and I could beat their performance kekw

slow marsh
#

Yeah but they don't want people to upload them still

glass tulip
#

if I see a stream of pink parses I just close it and move on to the next 🤣

balmy condor
glass tulip
#

okay that round of apps was a little different

balmy condor
#

Sure they were

glass tulip

but also 2ez

hexed frost
glass tulip
#

if there's anything I have, its an ego backed up by absolutely thin air

slow marsh
#

Normally I would agree but it's not like it's uncommon for wr 500 guilds to private log so /shrug

#

I don't like it and it bugs me

balmy condor
slow marsh
#

But it is what it is

balmy condor
#

Thought I would change going from AotC andy to CE andy

#

Still a theorycrafter that can’t play for shit

we appreciate all of the crafting, it helps push us to achieve your dreams

#

Fucking 80 average in mythic with 3 blue parses

#

Hate my life

slow marsh
#

You're fine lol

glass tulip
#

same though, I refuse to pad on fate/kt

slender berry
#

whats your average for damage to bosses

#

i feel like thats way more important

balmy condor
#

I could fix my parses with more reclears

glass tulip
#

always top boss dam in the raid, no question about it

balmy condor
slow marsh
#

You could fix your parses by hopping right over to a new new guild

glass tulip
#

other classes arent built like us

ashen scroll
#

trying to parse on soulrender against boomkins and hunters is a really fun time 😄

glass tulip
#

just gotta hope the monk is asleep prayge

slow marsh
#

Not too hard to parse on soulrender actually

ashen scroll
#

my guilds monk swapped feral.... im safe for now

hexed frost
#

I'm 6/10 and only care about loots. I never even check my logs until unless raid leader points out something specific.deadge

glass tulip
#

literally drooling on keyboards

#

oh also its a 19 man

balmy condor
#

Yeah for mythic I’m at 82.5 for damage and 83.2 for boss dam

#

97 on guardian that’s the real test of skill right

glass tulip
#

87.2/88.5 boss dam

slender berry
#

i guess you didnt pass the wft/pi check on guardian , get better

glass tulip
#

trying my best dad 🥺

balmy condor
#

I have wft

slow marsh
#

I miss wft

balmy condor
#

Sub rogue gaming

glass tulip
#

I need to learn the dust swap for sub but I like sin better

balmy condor
#

rolls up to ptr testing after not playing sin for 5 months

slender berry
#

my overall logs suck but i got 98,7 on boss dmg on sub

glass tulip
#

fuck them blue guys

balmy condor
#

Gets rolled

slow marsh
#

I mean what did you expect tho smh

balmy condor
#

True

#

But like

#

Wasn’t even close

slow marsh
#

Just gonna get Joe shmoe sin rogue like everyone else apparently has in their groups and slap them?

#

These rogues rolling up to ptr still using dashing and master assassin

balmy condor
#

I need a rogue buddy in my raid, but he has to be worse than me so I can keep egoing myself

glass tulip
#

hm, take @brazen zodiac perfect fit guaranteed

balmy condor
#

+400 dps from the confidence boost knowing you’re the better rogue on the roster

#

They’re an external

#

Like wft

slow marsh
#

I have a rogue "buddy" in my raid but he plays sub and is kinda sus

#

He's chill and stuff but he was telling RL I shouldn't play CT on KT because it's not single target

balmy condor
#

True

#

Padding mofo

slender berry
#

everytime we get a new rogue he quits after a few months either to go play pvp or m+ (were alliance so they switch horde for m+)

balmy condor
glass tulip
#

big oof

lean coral
#

My guild refuses to do fate again

#

Or the fast kill strat on sylv

#

We're only killing her 2 more times for mounts also

slow marsh
#

My sylv is a 30 even though I go right right because I try to be ethical =[

glass tulip
#

who you on the phone with this late at night 🤔

balmy condor
slow marsh
#

Next week I'm playing obed and flagging each add set

slow marsh
#

Na I'll still be on top

#

Since it was my first two clears and I was still feeling iffy about stuff I made sure to hold for burn phases when I could've had extra casts

glass tulip
#

I gotta get some sub parsing done, I have a full blue average in heroic only 🤣

glass tulip
#

so its just a ton of downtime

balmy condor
#

Healing is what matters

ashen scroll
#

im the opposite lmao, i gotta get some sin/law parses down after completing sub. swapped to rogue after prog

#

bro do you press cv on cooldown

slow marsh
#

Yes you don't ?

slender berry
#

the "i use theotar" healing logs

glass tulip
#

I dont take damage ez

ashen scroll
#

no my healers would hate me if i did

balmy condor
#

That guardian log is some degeneracy btw

glass tulip
slow marsh
#

CV costs 5 energy and a global why tf wouldnt you hit that every time you move off boss for one second

balmy condor
#

So degenerate I had to go back and do it twice

glass tulip
#

you move off boss?

balmy condor
glass tulip
ashen scroll
#

because my broccoli man does this lmao

slender berry
#

crimson vial is like 0 healing compared to bloodlink, theotar, leech and recup

slow marsh
#

@balmy condor mines better

balmy condor
#

True

balmy condor
glass tulip
#

blood set, oof

#

oh and condensed anima sphere lol

earnest remnant
slender berry
#

insane degeneracy would be telling your mage to press arcane intelligence every 20 seconds and warrior / priests their buffs

balmy condor
slender berry
#

its funny with how with enough theotar players they can use their raid buffs as a defensive

balmy condor
balmy condor

Better off just running a real lego and leeching harder

slender berry

#

take your overall and compare it in the rankings and see where you'd end up

#

this omits all the other people private logging tho

hexed frost
glass tulip

he was talking about checking something else

slow marsh
#

Iqd is fine tho

glass tulip
#

dont run it if you dont like it

hexed frost
#

oh ok

glass tulip
#

secret pumper

oak sky
#

im not rank 7

glass tulip
#

how did you violate your raid like this on remnant monkaW

ashen scroll
#

if they ever ask you to run a ball, just link them that LOL

oak sky
#

i never seen an external + vel did it better

glass tulip
#

mom come pick me up, im scared peeposcared

slow marsh
#

Lol

oak sky
glass tulip
#

but like what the actual fk

#

on this one

#

soulrender

oak sky
#

yeah vel is a good padder

#

im not

slow marsh
#

Also has wft

glass tulip
#

wft is not giving him 4k more damage than what we are doing 🤣

slow marsh
#

I suck at padding too actually I need to do better

oak sky
#

vel's raid either had a rough week or late grips or (my favorite) hes just better

glass tulip
#

he is just better

oak sky
#

if i had to guess he probably dotted up adds really well

glass tulip
#

all logs are 99s for weeks in a row

#

insane gaming

oak sky
#

and they lived long enough for it to matter

glass tulip
#

this is the number that really matters

oak sky
#

thats all specs too

glass tulip
#

yep, it just asks "are you a gamer or a sin otp"

slow marsh
#

Yeah I play outlaw well I just stopped since I don't have eon or a 252 vein or pox

#

Also I had a trial with a really bad guild that kinda ruined my medians because my parses with them were terrible

#

They had some dumb ass strats

glass tulip
#

same, tons of greens

oak sky
#

dont think about medians

#

as long as your parses are good and you dont die much in your prog logs ur good

glass tulip
#

I'm aware of what needs to happen, we're just microfocusing unimportant details rn :)

#

I snuck onto a decent team and they said im on the team until the end of progression before they will consider kicking or promotion

#

so now I get to practice big boy progression

oak sky
#

good for you

glass tulip
#

just gotta not suck and get benched early prayge

oak sky

i'm sure you wont

wooden perch
#

what stats do i aim for in m+ as assa?

#

crist vers?

#

crit mast?

viscid spear
#

My logs are weird now logs

eternal turtle
#

How come when I look through some top logs some people dont press SnD a single time during the fight?

red plaza
#

You only need to press it once in the opener

wooden perch
#

ur not supposed to ever press snd

viscid spear
#

Press it more than once, they mean

eternal turtle
#

hmm just weird it doesnt show up in their buffs at all

#

guess it doesnt track it if they like mfd snd before pull

wooden perch
#

ye or if the deathly shadows

viscid spear
#

You hit it on the opener and Cut to the Chase keeps it up

wooden perch
#

into snd

#

maybe they do that

#

pre pull

earnest remnant
#

doubt

green ledge
earnest remnant
#

considering it doesent work on assa

green ledge
#

like stealthy says, doubt

solid venture
#

most likely mfd snd prepull

wooden perch
#

oh it doesnt work for assa?

#

didnt know

#

mb

eternal turtle
#

yeah kinda odd it doesnt show up on their buff uptime at all but that must be it ye

wooden perch
#

which conduits would u run in m+ as assa necro?

#

between katar,lethal poison and fractures?

viscid spear
#

Just run WPS instead of Katar, it's not a huge deal

wooden perch
#

why would i do that

viscid spear
#

Why not?

wooden perch
#

isnt katar like a must in m+?

#

for assa

viscid spear
#

How often do you FoK?
Also the conduit isn't great, it only increases FoK's damage as the ilvl increases, and the crit chance stays at 5%

wooden perch
#

well legit everyone runs katar in high keys

#

so imma just listen to the logs

viscid spear
#

At max rank the conduit would be 20% more damage but still 5% higher crit chance.
If you want to run it It's fine, but it's such a miniscule difference

red plaza
wooden perch
#

whats even the rotation/priority on big packs as assa?

#

like 8+ mobs

nova flax
#

CT

#

🙂

#

Rupture like 4 of em

#

Garrote on CD

#

Then keep envenom buff up as much as possible

#

But never drop CT

sudden hound
#

you rupture anything that lives for most of the duration

nova flax
#

Depends on if ur running dashing or zoldyck

#

Dashing 100% wanna keep envenom up as much as possible

sudden hound
#

dashing is a meme in keys. if youre venth you play obed if youre anything else you play zold

nova flax
#

Zold kinda sussy for low keys imo. Sucks if shit dies too fast.

#

Anything under 26 i wouldnt run zold. It all melts

oak sky
#

Most people run obedience now

#

But zoldyck is good for aoe

nova flax
#

I just run TTB always and call it a day

glass tulip
#

Especially since it's @limber lion

#

@balmy condor is there any reason why the Full HTML Reports for the tier set sims for dusk ST have venthyr/NF using subterfuge and have kyrian/necro using MA?

limber lion
#

Only works with longer pull timers, wouldn't work with a 10 second pull timer.

subtle kiln
#

imagine trying to call out Cev

glass tulip
#

Oh my were you doing the stupid jar cheese

wooden perch
#

jesus christ assa is so much work in keys

glass tulip
#

For alacrity stacks

#

So my statement stands, ignore logs like that🤣

winter vapor
#

@wooden perch yup, but some of us like it, or just are too stubborn to try and learn something easier

glass tulip
#

CT go brr

upper elm
#

Ceverion i scrolled through your Guardian log and you did mut/mut/rupture into mut/mut/gar Is there any special reason behind doing gar that late?

limber lion
glass tulip
#

smh my head, but good point

wooden perch
#

@winter vapor i mean the concept is cool

#

and its interesting but just seems so hard for no reward

#

but then if it becomes bis for next tier in keys its useful i learn it now

limber lion
#

Every Mutilate shows up twice because both hands attack, so for whatever reason the log wants to show it twice.

upper elm
#

Oh Good Point ok thx for clarification

limber lion
#

No worries :)

winter vapor
#

@wooden perch it does become a little easier over time - one thing that may help is getting a bleed tracker you can reference now and again. Personally I enjoy the playstyle but it is a fair bit to keep track of - but then I never learnt outlaw and apparently suck at sub so, here we are ^^

upper elm
#

And if the first mut didnt crit you would do mut mut rupture garote?

#

Or is it always mut rupture mut garote

wooden perch
#

@winter vapor trust me sub and outlaw have a quick learning curve

#

if u learned assa u can easily learn those 2

limber lion
#

I would just do the normal opener without any cheese stuff if you can't get to 100% crit honestly

upper elm
#

Ah okay

limber lion
#

Not critting with it feels really bad.

#

The cheese is very very minimal

winter vapor
#

tfw when your 5% non crit chance happens.... on both muti hits

limber lion
#

The normal muti - slice - muti -gar - flag - rup works fine

upper elm
#

And then use mfd inside Vendetta?

limber lion
#

Yes, as long as you're at 0 combo points and flag is ticking

#

Always save one mfd for flag

new to rouge but considering it for 9.2 i like assasination the best and im wondering as we prep for 9.2 what legos are people considering that will go well with the tier set and double lego? and is venthyr still gonna be king in 9.2 or are people trying other covs?

balmy condor
#

but it doesn't make much sense crafting legendaries to "prep"

#

since you have to craft new tiers of legendaries anyway

#

the covenant legendary is an entirely new memory we don't have access to right now

coral forge
#

yea right now im running venthyr and doomblade so would it be a good idea to just get my fae renown to 80 then?

balmy condor
#

yeah that's about the only prep you can do currently

#

just getting a good base ilvl, as good gear as you can, conduit upgrades, that kind of stuff

#

and getting renown on the covenants you might play

coral forge
#

gotcha, and out of curiosity what makes duskwalkers good with 9.2? vs like dashing and doomblade?

subtle kiln
#

this is a good week to farm upper reaches for renown. comp stomp is in a week or two as well.

gusty mirage

4pc is tied to vendetta, more vendetta = good

coral forge
#

sorry like i said very new to rouge i main a bm hunter and havoc dh

coral forge
gusty mirage
#

if the 4pc wasn't caked into vendetta, dusk would still be irrelevant

#

because typically desyncing our CDs is jank af

coral forge
#

gotcha yea so far ive been enjoying rouge just trying to play something diffrent from what i normally play but i hate casters

#

and what's the general idea behind why fae might be good?

subtle kiln
#

assa is the opposite of DH when it comes to APM. so depending on what speed of gameplay you enjoy,consider that.

balmy condor
#

sepsis do damage with the 2 piece

coral forge

#

usually suggest asking yourself if it will get dull after a month of raiding.

still doing prog on the bm hunter at the moment so i cant imagine it can be more dull than that'

subtle rapids
#

ive never played assassin before, does it compare to afflic in m+ where you have to constantly worry about spreading bleeds?

subtle rapids
#

jikes, but in raid settings its more straight forward, just bleeds on boss?

balmy condor
#

Pretty much

#

Sin in single target is slow, but we rely on our bleeds for energy regen

viscid spear
#

If there are long-living adds it's worth slapping bleeds on it

balmy condor
#

So in aoe you’re trying to spread bleeds around for the resources alongside the damage

viscid spear
#

For the energy regen

balmy condor
#

Which is where that affliction-esque gameplay comes in

subtle rapids
#

oh interesting, what gives energy per bleed tics?

balmy condor
#

Passive

#

Venomous wounds

subtle rapids
#

cool

viscid spear
#

Rupture & Garrote

#

CT maybe? Not sure

balmy condor
#

You basically go from starved to drowning in energy as you go from 1 target to like 5

#

Ct does not give energy

viscid spear
#

So just those two then

subtle rapids

and tons of haste helps too i heard right

YouTuber talking about sin scaling with gear?

with haste

balmy condor
#

Who are they, I just wanna take them out back

#

I mean have a chat

#

Expansion-wide gear scaling is a thing, but saying that because we go up 60 ilvl or whatever the haste levels insane Assassination rising unbelievable damage the speed the energy the power so good no specs scale like this crazy hidden tech

#

Been one of my pet peeves stomping out of the community for the last couple years

#

Because it’s just stupid to think that it matters

#

With so much borrowed power and balancing that happens patch to week, week to week even with hotfixes

#

Ain’t nobody gonna care about the 20 dps sin gains over other specs with 30 ilvl
