I’ve a really bad habit of forgetting legendaries 
I ran no legendary on a few fights aka obedience as Necrolord
We int slightly
Smh, I’ve totally never accidentally ran dashing in top before
Nope not me

At least it’s a legendary
You missed my double rogue shenanigans last night
Matters a lot in xav wing promise 
were they l33t?
Double rogue actually kinda chill for most keys
Or you mean pvp?
Because that’s just rude
The guy purposefully let casts go off and closked them so I’d die

So he could beat me by 800 dps as necro sin
When I went from Obe to Dashing I think I only gained like 47 DPS
i bet the look on your face was priceless
Obedience is a 120dps loss for me
Yeah, you're built different
Necro sin superiority :>
IDK how I feel about the new rotation in 9.2
I'm considering being a Switcher
Don't hate me guys
I messaged my friend that invited me to that key and I told her the next time she decides to bring me in with her m+ mushbrain friends count me out
It’s okay friend, play what you enjoy
It is a game after all and you should be having fun
Unless it’s kyrian sin, don’t do that
yea dont be like me going against the meta
so I might check that out next tier
First part of this sentence is okay… the 2nd part though? 
Maybe if we had any interaction with CP spent then I'd explore it more but alas
A 7cp rupture is the same as a 4/5p
more envenoms 
Comp stomp or torgies?
A bit of both
i should do some comp stomps during some league games this weekend or soemthing
Farming vault for trinket as much as I did trained me for this
It’s literally impossible to lose 
but you could win in 2 min, not 10 
True, brothers in suffering 
This weekend I finish my grind 
Then I might as well finish necro and kyrian while I’m at it
Necro’s at 74 or 75 kyrians at 79
Everything is now at 80 for me 

Why do you hate yourself, muse?
Nonsense, you’re a gigachad gamer
The only person who ran vault more than I did
My therapist asks me that, too.
The hustle never stops

If I have to feel that kind of painge i wanna do it to myself
Bro? You good?
Bordering NSFW talk 

what do you guys think is the go to covernent for next patch raiding? 🙂
Fae
realy cool with doomblade i guess?
Duskwalkers when you get the 4pc
oh nice to know thank you 🙂

so basically - switch to NF with 2p(doomblade) and then with 4p switch doom to duskwalkers?
i have all 4 done on warrior and rogue. 
that's pain
You can safely stay venthyr until you get the 4pc and unlock double legendary if you want

there's sims in the pins that show every step in power for each covenant
Early in the tier looking like venthyr
U rite 
ahh
thanks guys u helped me a lot 😄
Mister scath, are you okay 
morning cuties (:
i had a dream a world first guild asked me to trial but told me it was professional so no cursing
then i said that's fucking rad then they said nvm
based
Whats poppin quakeroats
that's not fuckin rad

the system we use has been down for like 2 weeks
which is super cringe our identity relies on that lmfao
we're not lol i think the sims are just like that rn because they can't sim the actual leggos on slots
like i think there's an issue with the unity leggo in sims
Whispyr just added the legendary effects to the trinkets because it’s easier to compare/read
Must be looking in the mirror because I wake up every day and pray I can be half as cool as you are on your worst days
the longer you stay here the dumber you get. just the effect this place has. 
hey feel smart cuz u realized it
listen here soldier ur so cool u break the cool scale meters by a mile
sooo cool
u can't beat that cool dude
Nah don’t let it, it’s a bit advanced to be able to sim it like that so if you didn’t know it was possible it’d be confusing
But you can, because you do it every day 
u makin my goblin rogue blush u gotta stop

bouta parse pink with all that positivity
im lookin at a nice 95+ parse on m sylv when she dies pog
should be any day now zzzzz it's gonna be either me or her lmfao
- a dagger + the mount
pffftttt plz id expect her to come out irl and step on me tit before she gives me a dagger
trust me the dagger gonna drop for the other rogue
and i didn't get one
who's doing 5k dps overall
I got my first piece of loot after 7 kills
vs me

Aren’t you 6 ilvl trinket off of bis? 
It was the belt I already had
i got chest from vault this week

i got mount on my first kill
yall bugging me next wtf
trickz u gotta get me in tell them im an anime girl irl
that's worked for like 3 guilds already
LOL
I can’t get the mount from the vault @spice spire


True 
you can have mine just bless my vault again this week king

Hunter getting the bow vs oxi getting the mount
our ret pally is quitting
ive never seen that bow drop once lol
All the homies getting daggies
i'll ask
You’re getting a sylv piece in vault this week 

vita
Notrickz is a homie you better not let him down
oh right xd

well
next raid tier kinda based for melee idk
Oh they will
we're trying not to have that many rerolls
But they'll be on add duty
because good players will play worse if they reroll
maybe
while they get used to the new class at least
My guild's goal is 6/12M next tier
some do better, they actually see what’s going on. others not so much.
it's pretty easy to learn how to play another class imo
Yeah, ranged tends to be a bit easier. Just follow the crowd and you win
unless discords aren't as well put together as the ravenhold one
That’s a good goal
some people just don't know how to deal with mechanics as ranged
You’ll get it 
some fights have a completely different set of mechanics for ranged
ppfft with them good looks u def 10/10 next tier
That’s why baby Jesus invented cheat death
some stuff is harder to dodge while a lot is easier
Yeah, hopefully. With me being RL it's the first time we've ever even killed Mythic bosses. I have zero faith in our current RL but I need them to shit the bed to take it over
Oh you said ranged
take over palmer
absolute government take over
storm their discord and demand ur position
I’m not a good raid lead.
I just wanna blast 
I’ll 21st man for you
and then realize how shit it is to RL from melee and reroll BM hunter
Just buy me hichew
it's already hard pressing buttons imagine having to tell people to watch their feet
and press buttons at the same time oh ma god
In Nyalotha I was the #1 damage and RL. I went Warlock in CN because we didn't have one and RL'd and was top 3 (and I was a shit-tier warlock)
Oh yeah if someone’s struggling just have them reroll BM hunter
Im worried about some toxi nonsense 
Now I'm #1 DPS and do like 1/3 of the in-fight call outs anyway
It’s actually very difficult to be bad at BM
Your pets still do 60% of your damage
I can do call outs - but like every call out 

sucha vibe
Wdym I’m a god damn professional
🧢
My bm hunter got the bow last night, time to change mains.
Lest we speak to your mortal enemy
pog
Call a dude an asshole in an email ONCE and tell them to stop swinging their dick and suddenly you’re unprofessional


LOL
it's really unprofessional to ask people to stop swinging their dick you have no idea what they're going through
maybe it helps them focus on their work god
Okay on second thought maybe you’re right @spice spire
I’d never flame people when RLing
if the RL ripping on you it's gg
for sure
my RL rips people all the time
it's one thing to yk make changes and give constructive cristism but
Mine does too, it’s hilarious 
it's a team builder
ive seen some wild shit be tossed around
That’s pretty bad raid leading tbh - creates unnecessary anxiety.
There’s a difference between someone messing up and saying - yo, you messed up here, gotta do better. Compared to just lighting them up
epic team building activity
Then all of a sudden people aren't in the discord any more and everyone's like lmao that guy sucked
some people don't like being flamed, even if it's joking
But na there's a difference between outright flaming people and ripping them when they do stupid shit
meh
Like when you do stupid shit you deserve to be called out for it
Yeah, I meme hard on people and like when they say some dumb shit (unrelated) but try to do better
yeah but I wouldn't say you'd want em to feel bad for it
You shouldn’t be lit up for it. Imo.
maybe not in wr 2k guilds cuz like who cares at that point but then again that's why it's wr 2k so
But, if it’s continuous, that’s a bench
YIKES
oxi
ham or steak for breakfast

I don’t eat swine, so I’d default for steak
LOL
bro how is that elitist though, people don't get better unless you raise the bar to some degree
fried ham is just Canadian bacon
it's tasty
some salt, pepper, throw that shit in with ur cooking eggs
HEALTHY nutritious breakfast
There’s a difference in raising the bar and ridiculing.
If I have issues with someone’s performance I’ll dm them either during raid break, or after.
There are a lot of bad players that could be decent players if they weren't just allowed to be bad all the time ya know what I mean
Ye and you can do that without flaming
it's easy just say play better
But even I come across as… cross, sometimes, I guess Is a good way of putting it. Because I do generally come across as jovial
u ain't always on ur a game
But can be serious 
like i'm not saying you call people an effing idiot in the middle of raid that's toxic
yes but a lot of that comes to how much time and effort those people want to put into getting better themselves.
i mean yeah they need to know if it's necessary, but many people just don't care
idk if ur srs on progging through mythic early im sure u gotta be up front about performance
just can't be that based about it
ye for sure
Yeah
I’m in a pretty casual guild.
That went through major roster issues.
We now have like 28 raiders.
So next tier gonna be rough when I get to say “yo, you’re not in”
happens
im sure guilds sit people out if their class doesn't perform well on the fight
id never play a class where it isn't meta in every fight idk
seems sooo lame
Why you gotta call me out like this
Wtf man
You’re not still playing Necro tho
Whatever I already cheated on y’all
I played kyrian sub for painsmith and fatescribe
See ya losers

well he switched for sylv to try it out but
probs just comes down to him not knowing how to play the spec tbh
yeah he's probably just scuffing his CDs or something
odd time to switch specs. but yeah that fight is just maximizing cd timings and can be punishing for anyone not doing so
he's always been sub just tried kyrian cuz i told him kyrian sub is based
i thought he'd do more deeps but ig not
venthy sub is good for that fight. especially if he’s used it it.
way to set them up to fail and shit talk them in discord. lol
Lol
you’re calling out his dps and giving him bad advice
telling him to go kyrian rogue is bad advice?
Kyr phial is nice
pretty sure it's good to learn whats best for the spec but yk
Yeah switching spec/cov on prog is yikers
and not fuck up timings for everyone else
and besides i didn't hold a gun to his head and make him switch so
Also tbf it’s also on that dude for switching lmao
he been wanting to do it for a hot minute
but by all means go ape shit without any information or context 
you haven’t seen ape shit if that bothers you. lol
going nerco now thx for the advice king
kyrian sub is pretty chill compared to venth but 
yeah? idk the rotation at all lmfao
idefk what the kyrian ability does something something combo points cool moves something something
i switched to sub mid sylv prog but i switched back pretty quickly
just didn't like the timings always making you hold shit
i wanted to learn sub but every time i check out the channel and the faq it seems super overwhelming
just read the method guide honestly. It is 11 out of 10.
it's actually pretty easy in practice
oh yeah?
just have to get used to your dance charges etc
And ah... to be able to talk about sylv prog in past tense. Must be nice 
Yeah, but vouch on push’s guide

xddd
Whats the diff? u mean the trinket right?
naw the 2nd cov ability
oh?
yeah but is it as based as those two
it gets rid of a lot of debuffs
yeah it's pretty dope
it gets rid of chain stacks on M sylv
on sylv is a "get out of jail free" card for the arrow debuff stacks
ye
oh isn't that cool for the puddles on sylv
not sure
i usually just use it on phase one and that's your one use you get. Not really much need on p3 in my experience
ah
is venth still the go-to cov as of rn?
Yes
Yeah, until you get double legendary & the 4pc venthyr is the play
staby staby
Assuming energy isn't the issue, is it worth rupturing adds that will live 5-6 seconds max? Can i just envenom them instead?
you could snipe them with a low cp rupture for the giga energy refill but that's like min-maxing to the umpteenth degree
realistically, you're probably better off just envenoming assuming energy isn't an issue (which in aoe it never is if you have bleeds up on everything)
Take the small ghosts in ToP on a tyrannical for eg. Once i put my subterfuged garrotes, CT and first few ruptures, the other DDs had already brought down adds to 10-15% HP, so i felt it would be better just envenoming them because at that point i'm with full energy usually
Yeah i got that part. But there are few places with very low HP adds which literally insta die so i was wondering
yeah you're probably just better off envenoming at that point
more snd time + envenom uptime, poison stonks
Ye for snd +build CP for the two guys just after
any tips for p2 sylv? I assume just dot both up and dump into prio on add platforms. fan if I'm around orbs etc. anything else?
What made them decide to have the class mounts be so varied? Like Rogues have their base mount but can buy 3 different variants, and classes like Mage/DK have one mount that changes based on spec.
not sure, at least the spec mounts for rogue are free now
instead of having to fully upgrade your artifact weapon
The only thing I remembered for P2 Sylv is to dodge wave
lmao thanks
and use your potion with your 1st V
So Fae is now the most promising one?
Yes
Yes
Well, now i need to learn something new maybe
Thank you! You're wonderful!
😳
BTW, not sure if i can ask about this here, but is it confirmed that sin is like 1k below sub on current PTR on ST?
tuning isn't done
i know that tuning isn't done
so what's the point
You can check sims for current numbers - I wouldn’t be invested in anything until there’s a release candidate though.
Lot of changes can happen
chances are sub gets nerfed if anything so even if the answer is yes it doesnt' really matter
it's just different people evaluate situations differently as i'm just asking...
Well then yes sub is about 1.5k over sin for current sims which are still a work in progress and apl changes still pending
Sub is much stronger currently
We’re still waiting to see the nerfs that are coming
Thanks
Question of when, not if
Yeah, I’d check sims for current numbers.
Just saying it’s not currently worth evaluating as it’s not finalized. And until then it’s hard to get a picture for the reality of 9.2. Numbers are nice to see trends, but I wouldn’t take them as gospel until it’s a release candidate.
Ye and I'm wondering how they'll go about it too
The thing is that in whole 9.x some specs are not so much nerfed considering their OP status until quite a delayed 9.x5 version. Certainly devs have already said something about nerfing sub in the post thread. Knowing how much behind helps me understand the situation. That's merely my concerns. I'm not going to shit anything anywhere about current numbers.
Oh gotcha - makes more sense then.
I know vhispyr keeps the list up for sin pretty well.
I’m pretty sure fuu has it kept up as well.
Unless another optimization or buff/nerf happens, these are the numbers we’re presented with
Yes, thanks to fuu. the only thing is fuu's list is a bit difficult to find 0.0
bookmark his google sheet solves many problems:Prayge:
Doesn't seem like tier set nerfs alone will be enough to bring sin and sub inline
Their set is about 23% currently, would have to go to like 10%
sub set is bonker wonker
and it likely will
the devs seem to want all the set bonuses in that range
Thought they were targeting more like 15%
Will be interesting to see how they nerf sub tier that much
4pc shadow strikes do 30% dmg or something
There's a reason why it's been a bit quiet I thinks
sub set gonna get bonked for sure

for some reason, the current sub sets are difficult to nerf imo
Indeed it is. That's why i'm interested to see how it'll end up being
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
anyone from U.S on PTR atm?How much ping u got
cheers thx
any time pal
if i want to craft duskwalker on ring, but to use it now in pvp , and then in pve in 9.2 (yes, im one of those) , is it worth crafting a 262 with haste(crit?)/vers to have for pvp now + 9.2 or craft separate rings for pve/pvp ?
you're gonna have to recraft anyway so idk
isnt dusk gonna stay as a ring anyway? or are there speculations of it also changing?
i have one of every legendary with every stat combination crafted rn. Gotta catch em all, y'know?
That was definitely a lie but lol imagine
I'm sure there's plenty of people that crafted every leggo with every stat combo on every possible slot
Phew sounds expensive
But still possible
So had a super geared rogue tell me that as Necro you open with bone spike instead of garrote or ambush on single target, is that true or he trolling me? Lol
Necro
ST

He said bone spike, snd, garrote, mutilate, vendetta, shiv and go from there with mutilate envenom
ST?
Single Target, why is he Necro?
sbs, snd, muti, garrote, rupture, vendetta, shiv, vanish
Are we talking raid boss or 1v1 training dummy?
Raid boss
Minal’s got it
I suppose I'd wonder why he would be Necro in ST, but yeah Minal's got the opener
Idk I went Necro cause I was not enjoying flaggilation gameplay
Well how do you feel about Sepsis? 
It's ok my other rogue that's sub is night fea
Might want to get Fae up on your Sin
Your… other rogue
Idk I have noticed my sustain as Necro is higher then my sustain as ven but my burst is weaker for sure

I have 3 total 
Only play the one
But why
I have 4 rogues at 60 but my assassination rogue is pve only
Wtf
I'm sure it was for 90
9.0
I have 3 rogues, main, alt for low pvp, and one just to wander around doing nothing
Idk I have seen a very noticable increase in damage done and dps in raid since going Necro

logs would help maybe
Getting back to the discussion, Fae is looking real good for Sin in 9.2 so I'd recommend leveling that up now while we're in the content lull
But I can’t imagine leveling more rogues
What's the 9.2 change that makes night fea strong?
all of them
(tier set good)
I'd use one on one of my other Rogues but idk if I'd have it ready for my Alli guild in time for Sepulcher
Everything I have been reading online is ven will be best but all covs will be fairly close in power
"Everything"
as in
Playing correctly makes rogue look good indeed 
noxxic guides be wild
Wow-head, icy viens, forums
How did that not hit filter
Wowhead?
We're part of that "everything" but we also do research extensively
Considering wowhead writer is right here

I’m orange, filters are above me
Unsure about that 
Outlaw loaded dice 4set fae is bis
Below?
wowhead guide is useless quake haven't you heard?
I’m above?
discord is better
Below yeah ;P

to fuu's filter as well
Papi I’m a top and I’m ready 
sup cev

Whispyr your guide is apparently outdated, fix this immediately
quakeroats
maaaan i want to push m+ but exams starting this weeeeeeeeek:((((
u know what u need to do
This anonymous rogue cites your guide as reference, for shame
yknow Varas you can retake classes at any time
seeing people in high keys makes me very sad
no whispyr is the goddess u dont talk like that



True!
🌆
Bro?
You want a sneak peak?

Bro
marileth *
🥲
This is the way

How'd you guys level renown fast xd?
Torghast
layer 9 torghast
pvp vs. ai, torghast
Also just playing the game with the covenant on
Torghast 😢
m+? play fae
boosting raid? play fae
main raid? play fae
Fair enough
not wrong, but fae is ahead
im assuming a lot has to do with the double lego? i figured ven would push ahead tbh but i dont even know what the sepsis lego does haha
Double lego and tier set.
tier set stronk
ill have to find the tier set then i have not really looked much into 9.2 since i just got back a few weeks ago been focused on current stuff
ah so is the 4 set in combo with the sepsis lego that makes it good? was just looking at the bonuses and stuff
2 set mostly
how does the 25% crit chance to bleeds help sepsis thats says its poisen?
set was changed since then
its now 40% bleed and poison dmg in shiv
oh where can i find updated info?
oh shit
i feel like that would still be solid for necro but i see why its so big for sepsis
because it also cranks sepsis
and deathspike is useless in single target
thus necro is not as good
Miserable existence lol
This is literally what Val says to take me out of the mood
is it ok to use shiv at max cp?

yes
ty
exciting change for sure
2 months on tier crafting tho
Yeah but it's backcharged
So you'll be able to create more pieces on your alt when it unlocks it
ohhhh
The biggest take-away from this isn't even the tokens themselves though imo, it's the fact that they are yet again changing a shitty thing based on feedback
its gonna be nice for alts
Good sign for sure
ig it could get you higher ilvl pieces on main
if youre still stuck with heroic ilvl stuff
It'd only be like what mythic week 5 right
Yeah
So seems like ultra bad luck protection / crafting higher ilvl yeah
i remember people saying the latest that it would be decent is a month into mythic
so i guess its not too bad
its probably 1 per week or something like that
i thought there was a cap to total charges
doubt
neato
the charges accumulate over time
and if you make an alt you just have all the charges insta
or so it appears
Yeah it doesn't sound like there is a cap, or if there is it's like 4, in which case it doesn't matter
so dusk will replace scoundrel with 4 set next patch?
yes
They did last second leggo slot changes last tier so can't say yes 100%
is there a spot to read about opener for assass? im not seein anything in pins
!guide

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
there ya go
oh tyvm
tokens back
Same as always I guess
Rogue mage death knight , and Druid was it before ?
We were always on the 4 class token
I don't think it's split
The way I read it makes it seem like it will be "tier piece - head"
Na no way they do that right?
We can hope and pray
we’ve decided to have bosses drop Set slot tokens in Eternity’s End
We don’t want it to be more difficult for any particular player in any particular situation to get Set pieces from boss drops (and trades), especially as you go later into the patch
Aka: possibly learned a lesson from edge of night?
LOL. no
:(
Does the venthyr pull ahead from NF on ST with master assasin instead of subt ?
no
master assassin isn't even in the conversation
necro seems to be the only one that might actually play master assassin and that's on M+ only
So is like previous tokens where each one is a group of classes?
Or this, idk if I like this
we don’t know and won’t know until more info is provided from bliz or data mining.
@wakevajzet This is more for RWF don't worry
You can trade them. Just not funnel trade them.
If you have a tier helm you can trade a tier helm token
But if you don't have a tier helm, You can't
Was asking since on the sims Whispyr stated that switching from MA to subt cost arround 150 dps to ventyr ^^
And since Haste scale so much with the tier set , Nadija give quite a bunch of it
did you read that correctly
the line saying
"base is with the same talents as the OPTIMIZED 4 piece sims"
No , it seem to go Duskwalker
whispyrs sims have info on 2p no double leggo, 4p no double leggo, 2p double leggo and 4p double leggo, no tier double/single leggo
They’re being put to good use

isnt it venthyr dashing/obe at start into nf dashing 2p then dusk at 4p
2p single leggo is still venthyr
really?
not an outlaw main 
might be the play ngl
i personally like the way the necro ability plays im prob gonna stay necro no matter what just cause its more fun to play imo
if that justifies using a 0dps leggo for single target go for it
Whispyr loves simming lbe
you should ask him about it
(don't this is very much a troll)

kevin for personal dam
i'll just send you another cat picture when i take one for forgiveness mister ram fam 

kevin is actually the play afaik
by like 10 dps
koji found a small gain
but a gain nonetheless
yeah figures with 2 extra spike more kevin
me too plz?

Make every cleave of Deathspike spawn a new Kevin
every kevin applies exsang to deathspike
Although more seriously
It would be FANTASTIC if Kevin's damage actually worked correctly for AP-based melee
Just dual-wield Kevin
Instead of only being useful for casters or melee with spell power coefficients
Kevin would win easily if it actually worked correctly for Rogues like it does for casters or like WW
Hopefully they'll fix it
Kinda doubt it, that issue has been reported for a super long time 😦
gotta be hopeful

Can someone explain to me the whole pooling and usage of flagellation and vendetta?
I was looking at some parses and noticed that some ppl were holding flag to use with vendetta?
Flag on high cp into a finish
Sync flag and vend if you won’t miss a cast
Otherwise cooldowns on cooldown
Wont miss a cast of flag? so if vendetta is up in 30 seconds, do i flag anyway?
If you hold flag, you delay all flags after that by the amount you held for
So instead of 0,1:30,3,4:30
Syncing would mean 0,2:00,4:00
So a 5 minute fight, you would lose a cast
On 4:30 you wouldn’t miss a cast, so you can sync
ahh gotcha
that's why some of these top parses are syncing it-- shorter fights
what about pooling and shiv? right now im trying to get 4 CP and about 130-140 energy before hitting shiv then mutilate
don't hold shiv for specific energy thresholds, just use it when it comes off cd
if you want to pool, pool in the few seconds before it comes off cd
(assuming you don't need to refresh bleeds)
thanks!
What ilvl is the sim character from the Whispyr tier/lego interaction spreadsheet? Is that like with mythic gear from the next raid?
its basically using current gear with effects slapped on it
does anyone have sims for sylv dagger vs 252 / 265 in both MH / OH on hand? 🙂
you can sim those yourself
change ilvl of a dagger in the simc string and there you go
if agi tea nadja?
I think it’s 259 edge of night offhand all tier
yes
Not for sin
That’s a sub thing
More of a switch tbh
whats poppin whisp
Whispyr is a savage lately, takes no shit from people with stupid questions
or that "Edward is it true you are an idiot" xd
whisps based
just lately?


You take shit tho


whatchu looking at pirate hat looking headass
you lost?
lmfao
Zera is red he has no spec right?
This is ass nation, mister red rogue
only the finest ass can be found here
🇺🇸
Pirates got that booty too 😉
Bounty aswell!
what other classes do you guys find fun, as rogue mains. im bored and wanna try something new
wait, so sylv dagger not for sin? I heard it was kinda op bis even for next patch.
it does
Feral
thats what I previously mained
enjoyed it a lot but looking for something other than CPs/energy for a change
ah
it's good because it's 259, but a 246 sylv dagger from heroic loses to a 252 in mainhand
which means a 265 mainhand will beat a 259 sylv dagger mainhand too
and the 259 in offhand will get replaced slightly more
but like
it doesn't hold a candle to the 280's in raid
252 even beats 246 in oh for me
Many thanks. 👍
Any news on the new dagger? Maybe Devs are making an interesting weapon so that it is going to buff sin and outlaw a bit while gives a good reason for incoming nerf on sub.
Oh. So much for that thought then.
bdk/fdk, spriest, havoc/veng dh, resto sham
I wasnt first
its more a thing for sub/outlaw
well not really
sure tier set, other covenant, double lego might make it closer or even bring it around
but its still pretty good OH for sin
there will be a 285 dagger, that ends up ahead of eon in offhand
yeah ok you will get that 3 months into farm
i agree that it still means that the power of the EoN effect stays for majority of the tier
and it creates a power imbalances between players with the dagger and players without it
it also boosts the basline damage of the spec that will be relevant for early progression
but just to put it in contrast, subtlety sitll has eon as a 2% damage win in offhand vs. a 285 dagger
285 still doesnt beat it btw, god damn OH dps is so worthless
offhand in general is very weak impact wise
thats because the dps of offhand gets a penalty
effects like the dagger one don't get that
is there a reason for offhand to be so penalized
thats why its very hard to get rid of such strong special effects
like was something in the past super op?
the reason is likely to mitigate damage diffrences between 1h and 2 weapon classes
a 2 weapon class will have a insane dissadvantage if both weapons had high impact before getting both upgraded
what often would make 1h classes just strict out better choices
the easy solution to the effect shananigan is just to apply a penalty to the offhand effect too
but that would also mean that the slot becomes less exciting
less from a objective but more on a subjective point of view
devs did put special effects on weapons to make them stand out, to be something unique compared to regular ones
so there is a argument to be made to keep those effects relevant
but its a tough topic, because if you compare normal weapons of a equal itemlevel to sylvanas dagger...
you realize how powerful the item is, and how it directly impacts balancing decisions
yeah not having sylv daggers is gonna be rough
for the rogues rerolling for 9.2
or even the unlucky rogues
e.g. to exaggerate a bit on it
sylvanas dagger vs. eye dagger in mythic quality for subtlety was around a 1100 dps gain
having that more/less as baseline can make a big diffrence
esp. in 9.2 when our baseline becomes a lot lower due to the complete loss of domination
impact is lower on assassination as compared to sub or even outlaw as it does not utilize the damage effect as well
btw. just to also emphasize this, getting the dagger is also not trivial. A lot of rogues will tell you how many attempts they did need to even get a heroic version
this is why the daggers are a big topic for people
yeah it's not super fun having so much power in an item
when you do have the item, sure, it's amazing
but it feels horrible otherwise
I think there is a big difference between ppl who have the item and those who either gamble on it
from a progression perspective, having your BIS weapons or close to bis day 1 without needing to worry about weapons at all for the rest of the xpac does seem appealing
as this is basically what somone with double mythic sylvanas has on subtlety
but it sounds terrible from a gear progression standpoint
not using the new weapons
it being strong until you get the new best dagger is kind of cool
but not replacing it at all a whole tier is weird af
yes, my point is to view it from different perspectives
as with most decisions in the game, there are always positives and negatives
oh for sure not having to worry about weapons is amazing
You all act like people weren’t farming 213 bells this tier as bis 
yeah but once cov swapping bell farming was a thing it was a done deal right
was there a 213 belt that was bis?
The bell trinket, no belt that I’m aware of was bis 
I’m also an airhead.
But I’m pretty sure boomkins loved bell
they do / did
i believe with the switch to venth and 3min cds iqd is more popular now
boomies / disc priests

Bell trinket mastery Assassination gears turning stone legion omega aoe damage huge burst crazy damage my brain truly unlocked third eye
Oshosi? When did you become a blade homie?
Proud of you, grustled haste mastery to the top
am i talking out of my ass snow
I know you're our resident priest
No I am a slave to the bell
are you ready to play The Nine trinket next patch snow

I have it yes
But without double leggos or tier sets (let’s face it healer pieces go to dps if tradeable) I’ll be kyrian for awhile so
Based take
Healers aren’t people, they’re support bots.
No gear for healers or tanks 
only give them gear if they're legitimately dying / not able to heal
I mean the name of the game is damage so
Just play better
Easier to survive if you just do better 
If gear will make tanks/heals do more damage than giving it to dps then give it
Dps never make mistakes, perfect players, never chimp out
Even the most zooted healer cannot save dps from falling off sylv bridges
Just uu’nat That bitch
Cursed fight tbh

@abstract leaf’s wet dream
i remember 4x ww in legion
We also discovered a new mists maze pull
can u get more then one kind of posion on instand posion
What
You get 1 lethal and 1 non lethal
share with the class
If you have aggro on a pack and then someone goes through the wrong maze after they die it will snap you to the front of the maze and the pack you were fighting will walk to you and pull the whole maze
Wtf is this lol 😂 uunat first kill?
yeah
Uunat was a fun boss
That both had a crazy hps check
And a crazy dps check
Warlocks could do a lot of self healing
And brought execute damage
The shamans in pieces’s kill were brought because they could ankh
And by “fun boss” I mean 700+ pulls of “wtf it’s just a crazy numbers check”
I don't really like the trend of bosses taking so many pulls these days.
iirc ankh was to suicide with the weapons
100 is about the point where I start thinking I want to be doing something else rather than playing this game
Problem is 100 pulls on a regular length fight takes a 2 day guild maybe 2 weeks
If every boss was 100, sure
But there’s like 3 bosses over 100 usually
Tier even for 2 day guilds would be over in like 2 months
The content would be gone instantly
See for example emerald nightmare
Cenarius was like a 90 pull boss and that was the hardest in there
And that raid is the poster child for undertuned, dead content that got blasted instantly
I think that's kind of okay, though. But I understand a lot of people these days just play for the difficulty I guess.
Yeh I mean you might think it’s okay but blizzard doesn’t cause they can’t afford to lose half their playerbase a month or 2 into an 8 month patch
They have kind of painted themself into a situation where heroic raiding is useless now.
So people have to move to mythic to get an upgrade
and for me, I think mythic is just a bit harder than I like
but like, I can clear +20 dungeons so what point is doing heroic
Mythic raid is pretty fun.
Its fun (not) when u need eon for next patch and its almost mandatory
It is fun, as long as stuff dies within 100 pulls =p
my friend stuff hasnt died in 100 pulls since vanilla
the game you want doesnt exist for way over a decade
so mythic raiding is probably not for you
The thing is, heroic raids we blow through in a couple pulls
maybe a dozen for final boss
Like where is the difficulty between 1 and 200 lol
you definetly didnt kill sylvannas in a dozen pulls
I think we actually did, but that was due to moving to Mythic for a couple weeks before even attemping her.
