Heroic, trying to get crit gear from Sylv
Hard to leave the raid quickly outside of hearthing, lol
25 seconds? Who's zoomin' now
the animaflow teleporter in venari's place goes to right next to the raid portal
desmotaeron
I've just been running up from Korthia 


Guess no one ever knew how I got there
I just hope we can actually clear, I have next to no faith in pugs

Remember how the tank adds were sorta an issue last night?
Here they're just screaming like Karens
"Don't die with CDs"

oh no I'm about to die, better pop all my CDs so I don't use them after KT uses me

Not even really about being fine or not, more about not wanting to be a bench warmer because everyone else brings utility
You can sim yourself to see
any guild that doesnt get hall of fame that benches their player because of "the meta" is delusional
The one that gives Kevin oozing might be good
Yeah or some people play marileth for the Kevin uptime if you're good with sniping mobs
player > meta class
It’s not about “the meta” buddy
It’s just about having Rallies, Darkness, possibly WFT etc
zoldycks i assume
I’m not speaking about damage tuning whatsoever
if you are mechanically solid and consistent then you wont get benched regardless of what class u play
Yeah
unless ur at the top top end
I mean, just because you believe that doesn’t make it true for everyone
If your roster is melee heavy, you’re going to bring an extra utility you think can help kill a boss>no utility
Hoping to get this Sylv kill 
I mean imagine for example
Both players are the same skill level
It’d all come down to do I need this extra utility, or do I need more damage. Basically
What's considered a low Haste? I'm at 638 right now and I'm hoping to get more crit but I'd lose haste
If sims say more crit items, get more crit items 
I was at like lower than ~15% haste at one point while gearing this tier. Frost shards had me grabbing every crit item in the game 
God forbid I get both items from Sylvanas eventually, that's 200 Haste lost
I heard you play a lot
this guy is goo- hes pretty go- he plays with-
..
he plays a lot
@sand sigil do you recognize the man in this image
Play recouperator instead of cloaked in shadows, also you’re better off playing WPS instead of lethal
More prio dam + more ST


Good afternoon Señor James
just waiting for the sin and outlaw buffs in tonight's PTR build
uhuh
👀 did i hear buffs?
it is my personal philosophy that feral should be top ST by 5-7%, followed by sin, and then BM hunter. enhance can be below that and then the rest of the classes. no other form of balance makes any sense for raid
aka we can expect sin buffs in tonight's ptr build
see how that works?
no but as long as you're happy man
i mean the enhance gut is coming down the pipeline eventually thats basically set in stone
but a sin buff would be surprising
sin looks like its in that very unfortunate place of "not so bad it needs help, but nowhere near being good enough"
real and true
at least sin should be goated in pvp
so it does have that going for it
w/ the 2/4pc and dusk meaning u can do goes before their trinkets come off cd and u got hemotoxin
i don't think sub will be that popular in pvp with double rng tier set
so i can see sin becoming dominant
yeah sin seems like its in a good spot for pvp, which sucks for me because thats dead content so sin is still basically dead this tier in my eyes
unsure, sin seems quite good with 4p and dusk
of course we're talking CURRENT numbers but its a bit far below sub right now isnt it
tier set shenanigans :/
even in best cases, sub is a decent % above sin
yes, sub is ahead due to better synergy with sylvanas daggers
People keep leaving group and pulling Sylvanas 
Do you not want to play sub for prog?

no i'm down for sub in prog for sure
sub prog will be good
i just think like sub has its things which make it so that it shouldn't be better in ST than sin
like sub can do ok burst aoe, good sustained aoe, bis funnel, and more mobility
so therefore sin should do more pure ST than sub
sub should get better funnel and drop its ST a wee bit
better funnel? its already so good 🤣
It's just a result of relying on shiv as sin
it would need to be buffed it they nerfed their st
Envenom does not great damage outside of shiv
i just think thats a good niche for sub
You know us, we love to FoK
also sin 2t is bad for who tf knows why
like frost, destro lock, sin rogue, and frost dk should be bis 2t
every time sin was better on pure st and sub was better at funnel
i think they took cleave like that out of the game
we had 5% of the playerbase subtlety
and 80-90% of the playerbase assassination
destro is the only class thats REALLY good at 2 target
just my input to "sin sould be better/above on single target"
spriest/sin are only decent when you do 2T
nahhh survival the only class that's REALLY good at 2t 😂😂
assassination is also way better on cleave
Sub is just insane at it’s niches
its not a niche if its good at basically everything
subs niche is that its NOT good at 2-4 targets
LMAO
LOL
it has BiS ST and some of the best 5+ (surely not THE best)
but "all of its niches" is literally funnel damage
I meant it’s funnel and aoe
sustained aoe is not something that was relevant in raiding for a long time
and aoe of sub is still weak compared to some other specs/classes
else you would see subtlety rogues blasting/soloing adds in this raid
For sure. It’s just better than the other rogue specs at aoe
time to reroll survial 👀 ?
YEAR OF THE SPEEEEEAAAARRRRR
nah SV bugs are getting fixed and its gonna jump back into the middle of the pack (highest its ever been tbh)
btw. funny thing is that assassination would be ahead or equal in single target output if it wasn't for sylvanas dagger
im glad that even with the bugfixed to SV coming theyll still be relatively decent
i dont want syvl daggers nerfed though because then wed just see rogue not be taken for any reason
those daggers are the fine line of relevancy
my confidence is also not super high that balancing would happen if they nerfed them
yeah no shot
sylv dagger nerf would be an after thought, on the way out the door kind of thing
also i agree with james that assassination should be closer in pure st output and strong in low target cleave
my only dream for assassination is baseline crimson tempest
ideal case all 3 rogue specs would be within ~5% in output
feels so bad having to talent your aoe in M+ there is other specs like it but it feels really outdated lol
sin is 1-3 targets, outlaw is 2-5, sub is 5+ and real funnel
also is it me or is sub funnel not even that good
it feels like its the same as if i was just doing a normal ST rotation
you can sim the diffrence by running a st sim and a sim with more tagrets with priority_rotation=1
did 11.2k in 27 top with zoldykcs - guess thats decent
a bit more then what i am doing in sub as well
i mean tbf ToP is pretty bad for sub
better in pure st. there, fixed. 
I’m only joking fuu 🙃
i know haha, i am just not confident in subtlety being played when numerical behind
maybe i am wrong on that but bfa/legion did provide some data that did lower my confidence
Well imo ease of use does come into play or at least should
Maybe the sub committee has grown a bit after so many new people discovering it this tier
Yeah I agree blades
Sin ST is way easier in execution
yeah sub is pretty punishing
sub us just very punishing
almost wish it was somehow less punishing
but it would require a reqork and obviously it would probably lose what makes it fun if they decided to do a rework
this was play rate of the 3 specs throughout legion
@vestal wren when can we go back to having fun with Subterfuge 
2-3 weeks
and sub was e.g. good during the first 3 raids but the play rate does not reflect that.
I miss Ny'alotha Sin
subterfuge is iirc better with the new tier set, so soon™️
Exsang time? Pog?
I’m glad sin gets a little bit more technical in 9.2 though

i mean the 4p is kind of like exsang 
But more punishing if you don’t do the shiv/sepsis/vendetta logic
That 15s burst window felt so good
corruption assassination def. had some appeal
not my personal fav. but i can relate to ppl liking it
echoing blades in m+ 
i want sin to get a bit more complex, or have sub somehow become less unwieldy
If we could convert Sin into being a spec that genuinely considers Envenom uptime as a priority, i think that would be a step in the right direction
but theyd probably need to rework envenom buff to actually do something
i honestly think sin is great as a more simpler spec that does allow some mistakes
not saying it needs to be super simple, but it just is very convenient if this is the case for ppl who don't want to over optimize like we often do on #subtlety
I mean, I think that there's a lot more optimization and min-maxing inside of sin than people give it credit
But it is more of a lower floor type of deal compared to sub
i think all specs have room for optimizations and min/max
Ny'alotha Sin was pretty punishing if you messed up
To me, sub just seems like it's harder than it actually is because you're playing around symbols and dance charges versus shiv and bleeds
but you are on point, the gain from min/maxing on sin always seems fairly low
sub just has alot to mentally keep track of, more than most any other classes, something that me personally I dont think I've ever felt perfect on or ever will
sub is also just massively unwieldy
you have to think about target counts constantly
i mean a simple example is multi target rupture
on assassination you have the confidence that applying a rupture won't hurt your dps
on subtlety, you need to consider how long the target survives to decide if you apply rupture
ofc subtlety only applies it on low targets due to BP
so the pure effort in maintaining bleeds on assassination is a lot higher
doesnt exactly help that shiv windows arent even shiv windows anymore
even without the tier
shiv just has been fire and forget and dont even worry too much about minmaxing it
tbh looking at 9.2 i feel it takes time to get used to shiv in aoe
shiv in aoe isnt even something ive cared to test out
Pool Shiv windows for that 0.1% gain
i remember EP window being something people min/maxed a lot
oh 100%
Shiv and AOE doesn't even change anything really. I mean you already were supposed to just shiv something that lives 9 seconds and then keep dotting
i still do sometimes by accident
and when testing min/maxing in the apl it was like "oh this isn't even a damage gain"
Yeah I don't know. I guess it could just be me but sub doesn't seem much more difficult than any other spec. The hardest part about sub to me is pv and that's just because I always forget to stab in between dances
Well not always but you get my point
we talked about it in the 9.2 thread yesterday
its the target count for me, ESPECIALLY with this new tier set
Yeah the Target count in rupture I can understand but to me that doesn't seem to pop up as often
Sub isn't hard but ez spec = more brain room for raid mechanics
subtlety will need to track a lot of things in 9.2 with sht, pv stacks and shadowblades and gets more reactive due to 4p procs
yeah its all a relative thing
So Sin is the best
It's just the short cd windows vs keeping uptime. And when you're learning the spec cd windows seems a lot harder than just have good uptime
assassination in contrast gets more tactical in 9.2
I shall not forget you my boy @oak sky
the time is now
Yo whatup
wouldnt you Shiv before using CT in m+ packs to get increase damage on inital hit ?
you are in a guild with rae, didn't know
No
@arctic walrus whats this mean my brother
I mean in 9.2 ofc
are u raiding with rae?
10 bosses
Thats why outlaw is fun to me, so much chaos you can always find a little bit to improve on, shame the damage hasnt always matched and it's hard to make a case for outlaw if sin does similar damage just from having reliable burst windows
i think people also have a certain fixed view on outlaw, people probably wouldn't play it if it was slightly better than sin/sub just due to that
tis i Yes
im threatening to retire mid raid if put in for fate
i like that all 3 specs have their own pacing, sin is a lot slower, outlaw can be rly hectic and subtlety has a mix of high/low apm
I could be doing the same damage as our #1 dps and it wouldn't matter, the issue is just that there's no fights that particularly benefit from Outlaws playstyle right, generally fights dont have windows where not holding your cooldowns for full combos has any benefit, hard problem to solve
rae x vel 
so I get the shiv logic of lining it up with shorter vendettas etc., but is there any other significant rotational changes that we'll be needing to get used to otherwise? cant be bothered to practice on PTR

nice 👍
if you plan to play outlaw/sub for sure
Or something, bc it's the only cov that I don't have at 80 on someone
So I don't have access to the mog stuff from them
What other class/spec favors Kyrian?
💥 🐔
You could mount and tmog farm!
Just do 24 months of dailies with that mushroom to be able to buy a mount
@glass tulip yo its russell!
I was Fae in 9.0, I have everything Mushroom Wilford Brimley can offer
Since nathria 
Ram have you ever depleted a key cuz you got pulled out of stealth while skipping something
I’m guessing the answer is yes
huge
Changing my name to vel's phial of putrefaction
account sharing 
LMFAO
i'm reporting you to microsoft right now
no sir he just walked over to my computer and clicked i swear
The question is how bad you want title
If you dont think you can get it why go sub
Just say you’re married and it’s legal to share account btw
idk, bricked a 25 sd and I legit felt useless
I always blast sd
I wish i did keys with people that can beat me

Maybe ill do title next season 
lfmao
Just in time for the patch to end
take the war I pugged that did 16.8k
Wth…
Ye cuz i dont exist in wow until 9.2
yeah ofc
UH aura gem start of season 💀
he forgor 💀
u know i made a macro after that
./cancelaura Unholy Aura
/cast Shroud

also recent 30 spires combat bug, not sure if it was timeable but still yikes not to get a proper try

Thats how you know ramfam a pro
I just simply asked him to be stealthier next time
he kinda thicc tho

Ramfam you gotta teach me to be motivated to do keys bro
for the io injection
im tryna get a pogstorm too rn, cause no raid cache

Idk what’s worse, getting betrayers shadow spike from vault, or accidentally being outlaw

outlaw for sure, if u still missing sylvie
Wait ram dont you have veinripper
yeah but i want a pogstorm for aoe
Or do you need pogstorm for weapon swap shit
u can swap weps in m+ yeah
Thats so degen tbh
the veinripper does just goes on random targets unless nothing is slowed and u hit back
They should kill swaps
yuh
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/DP7zC4nLRYNrjg3K#fight=53&type=damage-done&source=275
can I get a thread for this log please :)

I mean I got 2 sylv daggers already
but maybe if I was sin/sub I would've gotten a phial in that spot

Grats on being Outlaw
being who

The vault
not a 2nd dagger but i'm not gonna complain
got the ring checked off the list baby
I'll trade you dagger for chest
MF got both Sylv items 
there are 4
Both I want, I mean

ever since you first said that I have never believed it was an ST increase lol
hurt my soul to even try
Sometimes you can meme things into reality
Because having to swap talents for aoe damage is annoying AF
i already had the chest on 
I play all three wym
Wait, so talenting into CT for ST is neutral?
With obedience nadjia yes
That’s cray cray
And that's including theo being crit tea
Wonder if Obe Nadjia is the play for Render/KT/Fate
Any time you would play obedience in general nadjia + CT is probably better than theo
I’ve never really used Obe in raid as sin besides very early on in 9.1
I've used it pretty often depending on fights
I’ve just run Dashing on everything
Ye I mean can't go wrong with that
I’ve got the cinders to upgrade
Maybe I’ll try it out tonight
Need to upgrade it anyway for 9.2 start
yeah
I won’t be familiar at all with Flag timings
But I know the fights well enough at this point hopefully I’ll be ok 
Yeah as long as you sync every other with vend you're fine
Any fights in particular you’d rec Obe as good? That stand out from the rest
You get flag roughly every downstairs if you reset on tank adds properly
More Flag uptime helps aoe
and that too
Also have Flag as soon as you go down every time
Basically any fight that you run CT on run obedience imo
And for Vendetta when you get back up top
I just don’t bother using Flag downstairs anymore
With Dashing at least
We rotate boomie CDs for every down phase
It just annihilates the remnant
Yeah that's def good when it works lol
I just stand there looking cute 
We have boomies that sometimes zone out and get hit by frontal so
Feels bad when you have to push asap so you have to burn shiv
Has been pretty reliable last 2 clears
Ye last few weeks we've one shot it even when it's scuffed so that's a good sign
I usually end up popping shiv ~10 seconds into being down
For first one? I think
Yeah we’ve been doing well on reclears except for Fate lately
First down I always have shiv + flag + mfd to get it rolling
then boomie cleans it up
Painsmith and Fate with trials is... 
This group thankfully hasn't ever had issues with fate but painsmith on the other hand...
That fight is always rough I feel
We were basically one shotting pain when it was all main raiders
One night we one shot our KT + Sylv then wiped on painsmith 6 times
But a couple people got cut after CE
And like 3 have quit since CE
So we’ve got a lot of trials in and out lately
But they been booting people they know won't work out

Same
I think most of us want to push for better na rank next tier
Like 200 higher if we can
Why are people playing vigor
on wcl
?
I thought mfd was better
or even deeper

@hollow river pls rhelp
..
Big lazy big dumb big feelycraft
Make sure to Feint on CD boys
I died for this
Lmao what
Agreon walked so we could run
I actually did
Idk man
im just BORED
and sin might be good
but im NOT playing night fae
Lmfao
Just Necro n chill bby
also is true 1 pf dag and 1 sylv dag or 2x sylv better? @hollow river
mythic eon
2x
it's better than heroic sylv OH typically
next tier we replace MH with higher ilvl quick
but rn 2x sylv bis
Do you really want to first global SBS on opener even tho you have master assassin?
step 1: stop playing necro
but do you mean on raid bosses?
or like in dungeons and stuff
Another miffed Sylv group 

And another Mage opening an Ancient Dal portal
dalaran crater, classic
What's with Mages today, lol
Yea opener on boss
Are we running mfd for raid now? havent raided for like 4+ months
Just slamming on cd or do we hold for flag? like for example if you got flag in 15-20 seconds and mfd up do you save for flag?
if mfd comes up in 12 seconds or less, hold it for flag
implying you're slamming everything on CD
they stay hating cuz they know i was behind the tec
sounds good thanks
Doing a ToP, feels like it's tyrannical AND fortified
Like all the bosses took so long to kill, I hate this place 
That might be it, last boss dps
Overtimed that ToP+16 by 4 minutes, so I think they just wanted completion
Theyre all too entitled cause bobby treats 'em too well
The description didn't have anything of the sort besides being listed as "Beat Timer"
Deception and lies, I guess?
Its becauase they dont have an authenticator
And it wont let you add many details or messages to your group
I don't think they typed a single thing during the run
thats a default tag which means the leader hasnt 2fa'd their account I think
but also yeah if the timer was that close it could just be some lil baby dps trying their best
You get extra options for the "Goal" tab if you have the right authenticator?
you can type it yourself
before that you cant
like for pvp it lists your rating and "earn conquest" or "earn rating"
hi, is there room in the assassination party for a very sadge, recently taken behind the shed and executed feral druid to join?
that is to say, i know the playstyles are pretty similar and would like to know if assassination looks fun firstly and decent secondly with 9.2
yes and yes
sorry to hear that this is the farm that you came to live on, a half step up in raid utility in the form of cloak of shadows XD
eh, as i understand it both frost and feral still look good in ST right? It was mostly the m+ i was concerned with, of which feral will be seeing zero of
if you want to excel in M+ I would check out sub 🤢
I know subtlety is probably going to be the move for m+ meta, but i'm clearly okay with playing non-meta to retain relatively the same playstyle
assassination is decent but sub is "meta" 
but yeah otherwise pretty easy
spam rupture, keep CT up, do boss damage
speaking of CT, is it like feral PW where you spam it with 4-5 CP in AOE or specifically keep it up and finish with envenom otherwise?
its jsut an aoe bleed
so 5 CP I think lasts 12 seconds?
you can reapply it in the pandemic window (last 30% of timer)
otherwise you are applying a whole bunch of ruptures, garrotes on CD and fan of knives into envenoms on prio targets
only other big difference in talents is playing subterfuge/vigor and opening with 3-4 garrotes
since it silences
i assume subt/vigor gets replaced with master assassin/deeper strat in raid?
Marked for death is the most optimal, but you can sim to be sure
woah, okay, didn't expect that to be the case lol
blindside/deeper is sim bait, dont use that except for purely ST and if you like the playstyle
time to hit dummies and sim for 10 years and figure this thing out
thanks for your help!
for raid stuff we actually went over a whole bunch of it this morning in #940730247274442822
with this damage everything will feel like tyrannical AND fort honestly
the friendos over there gotta pump harder

All the bosses looked like that
was that an eleshaman?
Except Xav because I kept getting thrown down
I like to troll on Xav and pretend its real pvp
Yeah, it was
one time I kicked our mage, put him in a full kidney and vanish ambushed him 
I got chained down with him both times
First time I goof'd and went ham on his elemental
meanwhile our other 3 players were struggling to kill a banner and got slapped by the frontal lol
Damn thing was stacked right on him, didn't notice until it started sauntering back towards the boss' ledge
https://gyazo.com/a986b7b15dc5da41b6226119e41d3df1 this was a 21 sd first boss.. i knew i was in for a bad run 
thats the healer almost beating my 2 dps


Mage fall asleep?
2400 is cheap these days
im 2524 save me.
its the new 2400
being gone for a big break and coming back has been hell pugging lmao

Doing the holiday boss on all my lvl 50+ characters and I'm running into problems remembering how to play most of them, lol
Like my BM Hunter, no idea wth I'm doing
I only drop in on the hunter because I love my name/title, Irishcoffee the Wakener and all her coffee-related pets
same
but you can basically stand there a melee/autoshot it lmao
if it makes you feel better, its worse at 2600
don't lie to them it's fine

is it worse than 2700 io mages doing 7.6k overall?

You can slap me papi



Hello. I am Vellaena. I play for the Consequence guild on Stormrage Alliance. I am here today to ask a favor of the community. If you are in the European region, whose reset date is today. Please, do not step into the Sanctum of Domination raid zone. I implore you to stay away. Let me keep my parses. And everyone walks away.
alliance L
weird
old news bud why u cappin
I don't see you there

I also may or may not have installed the chrome plugins that removed external parses

oh didnt even see lmao
gz anyway vel
big fat parses
spread the word that r3 on soulrender is 116 points
@ khira or whoever the fuck is
bro khira doesn't give a fuck lmao
just assumes blizz will remove externals
made a column for it, job's done
Double KA 
he's 你妈妈你妈妈 at the top there

did you feint tho?
thats kinda based
Really nuts they won't even put in a filter. Can filter for any spell IDs but can't filter for externals count without a Chrome addon... 🤔 it's like full-on stubbornness at this point feels like
Heya, just found the server. Looking for 9.2 sims and predictions for best Cov and stuff since I couldnt find much online is everyone still waiting on finalizations for tier set and leggos?
go to the 9.2 thread & check pins
lots of wowhead content coming on that stuff soon as well if you don't wanna dig through my spreadsheets

Happy to dig through em haha thanks guys!
hi
hi
hi
hi
hi
hi
hi
hi
any shot u could link this pluging 
guys i cant believe blizzard hates druids they nerf them every patch 
You can take out all externals but yeah no filter is sadge
This does not work for me
I used a different one personally because EU ISO qwerty keyboards don't really have the / button and it's not configurable
scath linked it in #916546791472783371, i assumed it works
found out how it works, you need to press \ to remove externals form the page.
this one seems to do it without requiring extra key presses:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wcl-ranked-buff-remover/mgmiagjlgdnignaaeblnffinlngmbnef/related
but that one seems to only work on the boss sub pages, not the general ranking page.
so on https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/28/#boss=2423
and not on https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/28/
is there a way to sim like pi and kindred affinity
yes, they are external buffs:
https://github.com/simulationcraft/simc/wiki/BuffsAndDebuffs#external-buffs
there are spreadsheets with pre run sims pinned in #wow-general or #subtlety-faq too
Should i craft Obedience Lego for 9.2 or Dashing is ok to start the patch with it since after 4 tier pieces we go NF?
If I were you I wouldn't craft anything yet to be honest.
Yes, just like I said earlier... lol
Pretty sure Dashing will be good enough to start the patch with.
9.2 isn't yet implemented, there can still be some changes.
But yes, this is the one I use and it works well!
ups, missed the message
lol these ranks look much different
amazing how many buffs sin has
Turn that shit back on 🤨

I’m down half a mil I didn’t get to where I am as a handout

if everyone installs this addon no one will see those parse buyers 
everyone makes dumb decisions
I bought a 246 phial for 3m for that juicy 76 dps
In other news, I was blessed by the vault today
My streak ended with Tarragrue
Every choice was trash still, but at least I don't have to complain about getting 6 tarra necks/wrists every week

didn't you get a shitty phial from vault once?
I've never even seen a phial in my vault on any of my characters
how did you buy a 246 phial? 
running it over and over with a group?
by buying leather stack boost groups
Or trinket-stack to be more specific
Had to do around 15 runs with a full group iirc
ah yeah i just did 10 pfs a week until i got it took 2-3 weeks i think
That's around 75+ that I would have done solo
but im poor https://i.imgur.com/ugHrCEf.png
Yeh I'm not about that life
boosting communities done :(
I did like 20 by myself but then just decided to boost it while I was working
Not like you grind alts tho

ceveriontwo and my druid are giga
But what about Maeveythree
Inb4 Ceverionsix is the best geared bucket character in 9.2
But yeah I mean almost all of my alts get bis trinket first vault it’s more pain on just the rogue
rip
guys, is it worth using crimson tempest on single target outside shiv windows? or is it just a dps loss
?
What is your Legendary of choice
i use zoldyck
Outside of Shiv windows, yes
okay, thank you:)
Apparently CT can be neutral to spec into for pure ST compared to EP MFD if you run Obedience
its only a big loss if you run dashing scoundrel ye
Yeah, I thought it was just neutral to cast it outside of shiv if spec’d into it already
Didn’t know it had gotten so close to PB
I didn’t have time to get it all set up before raid last night
Going to try it out on render/Fate/kt next week
Or just run dashing 
I’m getting a little bored Vel 
dashing CT still good on aoe bosses
Yeah I run CT on those bosses obviously 
Don't think it's neutral to spec into
PB still 0.5% ahead for my profile and I'm pretty much bis except dagger/252 phial
Iceblades simmed it yesterday
Iceblades 

I’m sure the difference varies a bit depending on gear profiles etc
He also simmed a lot of stuff at once so maybe it broke raidbots
Except therefore not bis 
But neither are you 
Damn kinda crazy how u stopped playing for a year and ur still only 1 item behind me 😝
good thing I can sim a bis profile by just copypasting the dagger and adding ,ilevel=252 after my trinket string
a year 
Literally a decade without you, Cev
But I still think there’s something to be said for getting extra Flag casts on aoe heavy fights
Or even having Flag for every down phase 100% because atm with our timings I don’t
Dashing vs Obedience comes down to fight length only pretty muich
Dashing gives great value in AoE
Everything around you is poisoned, those poisons crit and you get energy from those poisons
Sure but if Obe+CT is ~neutral ST you can basically defer that it’s going to be more aoe
?
wat
that's not how that works
I mean CT is more aoe damage and so is Oedience
"sure if arms warrior is good in aoe, you can defer that it's good in aoe as well"
Obedience is not more aoe damage
Dashing is great aoe but we don’t run it in aoe environments like m+ where there’s a lot of ST too
Because Obedience is superior in M+
Sure and on all those fights I’d also get extra Flag
Where the environment is full of cleave, aoe, single target and prio damage
It's not either or
It's not "full aoe"
or "full st"
I didn’t say it was
Obedience is better for most AoE fights, but if a fight length is piss, Dashing beats it
These fights aren’t either or as well
It's not "Obedience is better, period".
I mean I said above
that 1 item can take 10 weeks tho

Yes
But you literally said "Obedience is better in aoe, don't we know that already"
But yeh anyways
But I still think there’s something to be said for getting extra Flag casts on aoe heavy fights
Word for word
So like
????
Sure
It's like saying one dumb thing and then following it up with something else
Also, what makes you think you get an extra flag cast on AoE heavy fights
Compared to ST
We literally get 25-29 stacks everytime with Flagellation with MFD
you'd have to use 20 flagellations to get an extra one off if you got 30 stacks everytime
Because they are long fights?
20 flags is literally 20+ minutes
And I’ve checked the timers?
the raid doesn't have fights that last 20 minutes
Also AoE does not necessarily mean more stacks
yeh
But like KT for example
I’m getting Flag pretty late on every Remnant phase, which our boomkins decimate
So I’m holding and lining with Vendetta when we go back up
Obedience would alleviate this issue for me
Yeh, like said previously
And net me an extra cast 100%
Fight length is what matters, nothing else
Not being aoe, st or using ct
KT is a good example of a fight where you might want to try Obedience vs Dashing
taking into account your timers and damage
If you're holding damage inside Remnant already without Flag, there's not much point slamming it there either
But neither is it really useful slamming it on KT when he's at 5% hp
But yeh
Yeah I mean i guess we can agree on the obedience thing, just having free vers and no extra cast is pointless in comparison
Didn’t mean for it to come out as otherwise on that note
Yeh, Obedience gains strength on a patchwork fight because you get to use flag on cooldown and get several uses out of it
but it's not a comparison of st vs aoe
But the CT thing idk 
because the stacks are almost the same with MFD
But yeh, I like Obedience on some fights as well
Also I don’t get this?
What did you mean exactly
In single target you get 25-30 stacks when using Flag with MFD
Sure
Meaning you can save, let's say, 3 seconds each time
You'd have to use Flagellation 20 times
to get an extra cast off
by saving 3 seconds everytime
20x3 = 60s
Flag has a one minute cooldown
But if flag is roughly a 1 minute CD instead of 1.30 you get an extra cast on a lot of fight lengths ye?
Conversations like these make you wish you were gone for a year 🤣
Yes, but this is not a comparison of Obedience vs no Obedience
this is a comparison of your
"Obedience allows for more casts in aoe than st"
Of course you get more casts with Obedience compared to not playing Obedience
But that's the entire niche of the legendary
I never meant aoe=more casts
That’s a misunderstanding, I meant the aoe fights in the raid do. At least, for me
I still don't understand that logic
How do the aoe fights in the raid allow for more casts?
Or are you again comparing Obedience vs Dashing?
You get more casts with Obedience regardless of it being aoe or not.
^yeah ig
You get more casts in single target already
That's why Obedience is decent great on Guardian, if you're rocking a good 4:30 fight length
Depends on timer tho ye? 
Fight length, yes
Like I've said.
Obedience is very, very reliant on fight length/timers.
It's great in m+ where you can slam Flag on cooldown everywhere without worry
And where you get more prio damage via Obedience
Ig my thought process was that if you can get CT to sim close in ST anyway, it wouldn’t be bad to run diff leggo on fights where you’re losing some envenom uptime/casts to the aoe anyway. Extra Flag etc. idk
Yeah, that's a weird train of thought not gonna lie
because CT is already bis in 2+ targets by default
it being neutral in single doesn't really change much in terms of aoe value, because it's already super strong in aoe
regardless of what legendary you play
it's the best choice with dashing, obedience and tiny toxic blade
You can play without a legendary and CT pulls ahead of PB every time in aoe
But yeh we're chill
I would recommend playing around with Obedience though in any and all fights
Yeah that’s not what I meant to compare
Raid dps is all over the place, so some guild groups will see more value from Obedience than others
And depending on the boss
Yeah it’s getting very hard to predict fight length for certain fights, like Guardian for example
For me, I mean
Yeh, you can just sim something like 4 minutes to get a rough estimate because it includes 20% variance both ways
so it sims everything between ~3-5 minutes
Even this late into farm, our fight lengths have always been pretty bad. Inconsistent, but somewhat predictable.
But yeh
Anything can happen, one dude dying very early on will tank the overall dps quite a bit
But now we have so many trials in and out that our timers just jump around heavily
Last nights Guardian was 4:33 when I think our PB before that was never under 5:10-5:15
So Obedience would’ve been the play I think, or holding my 3rd Flag for Vendetta
I assume it has something to do with FoK in AoE packs generating more CP than Mutilate? That's my assumption, at least.
Might want to read up on the discussion.
But yeh, no. Doesn't really work like that :P
Yeah, I came in mid-convo and I'm not entirely awake 🙂
Plus, well, I'm an idiot
So I got that going for me, which is nice
One of us 
I'm a little sad I have to run Zoldyck's next patch. I've avoided it for so long, lol
This is where I'm at too. My guild is 3/10M but we'll wipe on Eye like 8 times and then absolutely smash it on the kill. We're reliant on the pugs who are filling out our 20-man to learn the fight until we kill it 😦
Why do you have to run it exactly?
You don't think for m+? Or for prog?
Either honestly
maybe 5#
Oh shit, really?
4boss, 50% rush something
The sims don’t have Zoldyck as best for either
Oh shit
Zoldyck is bad
I haven't looked at them in a while. I better catch up
that boss fight has no stress before 50%
Turns out 1 minute vendetta very POGGERS
Who'da thought that 1-minute CD on our best cooldown is legit?
You’re very poggers
No you
True obedience is pretty nice
On jah I’ll kiss you on the mouth if you sass me again
Go on ...


I was actually almost sorta kinda hoping Zoldycks would be good for at least one fight, like how you could run it for Sire p3 prog
Just demand faeries and autumn too
I'm curious how low you can get vend
You get 20s CDR from faeries right? I’m not familiar with autumn
But could be 35-40s Vendettas with Faeries, I think?
I think it depends on how much the priest casts, right? It usually wound up being 20s for me, but dunno if that changes
But 40 second vend with it's uptime is kinda gross
Hello, i ran a patchwerk sim with M+ talents and i was surprised to see ambush being used during subterfuge. I thought ambush was only used with blindside procs 
ambush good when talented into subterfuge
I thought mut was better because it could make more cp and apply poisons more frequently, is ambush good only because of the damage it does ?
slightly more damage yeah
more gear more damage, it's currently just a slight gain but next patch will be more defined so just get used to it
👍🏻 good to know, thanks
ambush go boom
Nadia or Theothar for ST in Raid?
