Are you in heroic or mythic ash?

viscid spear
#

Heroic, trying to get crit gear from Sylv

glass tulip
#

ah

#

zoomin

viscid spear
#

Hard to leave the raid quickly outside of hearthing, lol

glass tulip
#

I would just hearth and run

#

its like 25 seconds from oribos

viscid spear
#

25 seconds? Who's zoomin' now

glass tulip
#

drop in the portal, take tp, walk in

#

ez

viscid spear
#

The tp near Perdition Hold?

#

Oh shit, I could've been using the tp near Ve'nari?

#

the animaflow teleporter in venari's place goes to right next to the raid portal

I've just been running up from Korthia Apuhang

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

#

this is the play for m+ ?

#

couldnt find the correct one tree

hollow river
#

Not even really about being fine or not, more about not wanting to be a bench warmer because everyone else brings utility

The one that gives Kevin oozing might be good

#

player > meta class

hollow river
#

It’s just about having Rallies, Darkness, possibly WFT etc

pine ore
#

zoldycks i assume

hollow river
#

I’m not speaking about damage tuning whatsoever

nova flax
#

if you are mechanically solid and consistent then you wont get benched regardless of what class u play

hollow river
nova flax
#

unless ur at the top top end

hollow river
#

If your roster is melee heavy, you’re going to bring an extra utility you think can help kill a boss>no utility

viscid spear
#

Hoping to get this Sylv kill prayge

nova flax
#

id rather bring a player that I know won't die to stupid shit

#

than a certain class

hollow river
#

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

viscid spear
#

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

hollow river
#

If sims say more crit items, get more crit items Comfy

#

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 kekw

viscid spear
#

God forbid I get both items from Sylvanas eventually, that's 200 Haste lost

#

Good afternoon Señor James

sand sigil
#

just waiting for the sin and outlaw buffs in tonight's PTR build

strange python
#

uhuh

vestal wren
#

👀 did i hear buffs?

hollow river
#

Damn you must have some 🔥 ass copium over there bro

#

But we can all pray

dawn ivy
#

no shot sin is getting a counter buff

#

ill nut

sand sigil
#

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?

balmy condor
#

no but as long as you're happy man

dawn ivy
#

i mean the enhance gut is coming down the pipeline eventually thats basically set in stone

#

but a sin buff would be surprising

hollow river
#

I mean I agree with the philosophy 100%

#

I just don’t think blizzard does besad

dawn ivy
#

sin looks like its in that very unfortunate place of "not so bad it needs help, but nowhere near being good enough"

sand sigil
#

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

vestal wren
#

i don't think sub will be that popular in pvp with double rng tier set

#

so i can see sin becoming dominant

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
#

unsure, sin seems quite good with 4p and dusk

sand sigil
#

yeh sin seems alright just have to wait 3 weeks lol

#

or 5 weeks rather

dawn ivy
#

of course we're talking CURRENT numbers but its a bit far below sub right now isnt it

vestal wren
#

tier set shenanigans :/

dawn ivy
#

even in best cases, sub is a decent % above sin

vestal wren
#

yes, sub is ahead due to better synergy with sylvanas daggers

viscid spear
#

People keep leaving group and pulling Sylvanas starege

hollow river
sand sigil
#

no i'm down for sub in prog for sure

dawn ivy
#

sub prog will be good

sand sigil
#

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

dawn ivy
#

sub should get better funnel and drop its ST a wee bit

glass tulip
#

better funnel? its already so good 🤣

slow marsh
#

It's just a result of relying on shiv as sin

dawn ivy
#

it would need to be buffed it they nerfed their st

slow marsh
#

Envenom does not great damage outside of shiv

dawn ivy
#

i just think thats a good niche for sub

slow marsh
#

Meanwhile sub can storm evis storm evis

#

And we fok fok fok envenom

viscid spear
#

You know us, we love to FoK

sand sigil
#

also sin 2t is bad for who tf knows why

dawn ivy
#

THATS what sins thing should be

#

BiS 1-3 targets

sand sigil
#

like frost, destro lock, sin rogue, and frost dk should be bis 2t

vestal wren
#

every time sin was better on pure st and sub was better at funnel

sand sigil
#

w sin at the top

#

and it's just not

dawn ivy
#

i think they took cleave like that out of the game

vestal wren
#

we had 5% of the playerbase subtlety
and 80-90% of the playerbase assassination

dawn ivy
#

destro is the only class thats REALLY good at 2 target

vestal wren
#

just my input to "sin sould be better/above on single target"

dawn ivy
#

spriest/sin are only decent when you do 2T

sand sigil
#

nahhh survival the only class that's REALLY good at 2t 😂😂

dawn ivy
#

hell something like arms warrior can just be better

#

truuu

vestal wren
#

assassination is also way better on cleave

viscid spear
#

Leader peace'd out

#

Made me the leader, for some reason

hollow river
#

Sub is just insane at it’s niches

dawn ivy
#

its not a niche if its good at basically everything

#

subs niche is that its NOT good at 2-4 targets

#

LMAO

hollow river
#

LOL

dawn ivy
#

it has BiS ST and some of the best 5+ (surely not THE best)

vestal wren
#

but "all of its niches" is literally funnel damage

hollow river
#

I meant it’s funnel and aoe

vestal wren
#

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

hollow river
#

For sure. It’s just better than the other rogue specs at aoe

vestal wren
dawn ivy
#

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)

vestal wren
#

btw. funny thing is that assassination would be ahead or equal in single target output if it wasn't for sylvanas dagger

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
#

my confidence is also not super high that balancing would happen if they nerfed them

dawn ivy
#

yeah no shot

#

sylv dagger nerf would be an after thought, on the way out the door kind of thing

vestal wren
#

also i agree with james that assassination should be closer in pure st output and strong in low target cleave

wind dune
#

my only dream for assassination is baseline crimson tempest

vestal wren
#

ideal case all 3 rogue specs would be within ~5% in output

wind dune
#

feels so bad having to talent your aoe in M+ there is other specs like it but it feels really outdated lol

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
pine ore
#

did 11.2k in 27 top with zoldykcs - guess thats decent

#

a bit more then what i am doing in sub as well

tight ginkgo
#

i mean tbf ToP is pretty bad for sub

arctic hare
#

HMMMMMM

#

I do believe its finally time, to get the fangs of the father.

hollow river
#

I’m only joking fuu 🙃

vestal wren
#

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

slow marsh
#

Well imo ease of use does come into play or at least should

hollow river
#

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

dawn ivy
#

yeah sub is pretty punishing

vestal wren
#

sub us just very punishing

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
#

this was play rate of the 3 specs throughout legion

grizzled jay
#

@vestal wren when can we go back to having fun with Subterfuge SucksMan

vestal wren
#

and sub was e.g. good during the first 3 raids but the play rate does not reflect that.

grizzled jay
#

I miss Ny'alotha Sin

vestal wren
#

subterfuge is iirc better with the new tier set, so soon™️

grizzled jay
#

Exsang time? Pog?

dawn ivy
#

LOL

#

no

#

youre never getting nyalotha sin back tbh

hollow river
#

I’m glad sin gets a little bit more technical in 9.2 though

grizzled jay
vestal wren
#

i mean the 4p is kind of like exsang kekw

hollow river
#

But more punishing if you don’t do the shiv/sepsis/vendetta logic

grizzled jay
#

That 15s burst window felt so good

vestal wren
#

corruption assassination def. had some appeal

#

not my personal fav. but i can relate to ppl liking it

wind dune
#

echoing blades in m+ peepocute

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
#

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

slow marsh
#

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

vestal wren
#

i think all specs have room for optimizations and min/max

grizzled jay
#

Ny'alotha Sin was pretty punishing if you messed up

slow marsh
#

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

vestal wren
#

but you are on point, the gain from min/maxing on sin always seems fairly low

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
#

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

dawn ivy
#

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

vestal wren
#

tbh looking at 9.2 i feel it takes time to get used to shiv in aoe

dawn ivy
#

shiv in aoe isnt even something ive cared to test out

grizzled jay
#

Pool Shiv windows for that 0.1% gain

vestal wren
#

i remember EP window being something people min/maxed a lot

dawn ivy
#

oh 100%

slow marsh
#

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

dawn ivy
#

i still do sometimes by accident

vestal wren
#

and when testing min/maxing in the apl it was like "oh this isn't even a damage gain"

slow marsh
#

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

vestal wren
#

we talked about it in the 9.2 thread yesterday

dawn ivy
#

its the target count for me, ESPECIALLY with this new tier set

slow marsh
#

Yeah the Target count in rupture I can understand but to me that doesn't seem to pop up as often

grizzled jay
#

Sub isn't hard but ez spec = more brain room for raid mechanics

vestal wren
#

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

dawn ivy
#

yeah its all a relative thing

grizzled jay
#

So Sin is the best

slow marsh
#

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

vestal wren
#

assassination in contrast gets more tactical in 9.2

arctic walrus
#

I shall not forget you my boy @oak sky PeepoSalute the time is now

oak sky
#

Yo whatup

frigid sleet
#

wouldnt you Shiv before using CT in m+ packs to get increase damage on inital hit ?

vestal wren

#

@arctic walrus whats this mean my brother

I mean in 9.2 ofc

arctic walrus

oak sky

Get it done

#

Well my mage has 3 dom slots but no 3rd unholy gem and also no chisel

clever kindle
vestal wren
#

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

shy dust
#

im threatening to retire mid raid if put in for fate

vestal wren
#

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

clever kindle
#

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

echo geyser
clever kindle
#

Swap to sin, still don't get externals

cerulean nest
#

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

Now to ignore it completely until 4pc peepoguns

I should get Kyrian up, I guess

vestal wren
#

if you plan to play outlaw/sub for sure

viscid spear
#

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?

I'm contemplating giving in and going sub for keys

oak sky
#

The question is how bad you want title

bleak sky
#

it's like 100 io away

#

not sure I can get that

oak sky
#

If you dont think you can get it why go sub

hollow river
#

Just say you’re married and it’s legal to share account btw

Keep the sin flex going

I never even hit 2500 lol

yeah i got cancelaura kevin & bron as a macro

Thats how you know ramfam a pro

echo geyser

they have both depleted my keys before so

I just simply asked him to be stealthier next time

he kinda thicc tho

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

echo geyser
#

outlaw for sure, if u still missing sylvie

oak sky
#

Wait ram dont you have veinripper

echo geyser
#

yeah but i want a pogstorm for aoe

oak sky
#

Or do you need pogstorm for weapon swap shit

echo geyser
#

u can swap weps in m+ yeah

oak sky
#

Thats so degen tbh

echo geyser
#

the veinripper does just goes on random targets unless nothing is slowed and u hit back

oak sky
#

They should kill swaps

echo geyser
#

so u cant even say its "prio" dmg

#

literally random

#

on trashpacks that is

oak sky
#

Right

#

That sucks

#

At least next tier you just get a high ilvl mh and call it a day

echo geyser
#

yuh

I mean I got 2 sylv daggers already

#

I corrected myself

slow marsh
#

CT in ST is neutral if you don't have WFT. I finally did it

glass tulip
#

ever since you first said that I have never believed it was an ST increase lol

#

hurt my soul to even try

slow marsh
#

It's not about it being an ST increase

#

it's about it being neutral or close

viscid spear
#

Sometimes you can meme things into reality

slow marsh
#

Because having to swap talents for aoe damage is annoying AF

glass tulip
#

sounds like youre playing the wrong spec

hollow river
slow marsh
#

I play all three wym

hollow river
slow marsh
#

With obedience nadjia yes

hollow river
#

That’s cray cray

slow marsh
#

And that's including theo being crit tea

hollow river
#

Wonder if Obe Nadjia is the play for Render/KT/Fate

slow marsh
#

Any time you would play obedience in general nadjia + CT is probably better than theo

hollow river
#

I’ve never really used Obe in raid as sin besides very early on in 9.1

slow marsh
#

I've used it pretty often depending on fights

hollow river
#

I’ve just run Dashing on everything

slow marsh
#

Ye I mean can't go wrong with that

hollow river
#

I’ve got the cinders to upgrade

#

Maybe I’ll try it out tonight

#

Need to upgrade it anyway for 9.2 start

slow marsh
#

yeah

hollow river
#

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 starege

slow marsh
#

Yeah as long as you sync every other with vend you're fine

hollow river
#

Any fights in particular you’d rec Obe as good? That stand out from the rest

slow marsh
#

KT

#

I've always said that

hollow river
#

Oo

#

I can see why

slow marsh
#

You get flag roughly every downstairs if you reset on tank adds properly

hollow river
#

More Flag uptime helps aoe

slow marsh
#

and that too

hollow river
#

Also have Flag as soon as you go down every time

slow marsh
#

Basically any fight that you run CT on run obedience imo

hollow river
#

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

slow marsh
#

Yeah that's def good when it works lol

hollow river
#

I just stand there looking cute starege

slow marsh
#

We have boomies that sometimes zone out and get hit by frontal so

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

Or they scuff the ramp

#

Somehow

slow marsh
#

Feels bad when you have to push asap so you have to burn shiv

hollow river
#

Has been pretty reliable last 2 clears

slow marsh
#

Ye last few weeks we've one shot it even when it's scuffed so that's a good sign

hollow river
#

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

slow marsh
#

First down I always have shiv + flag + mfd to get it rolling

#

then boomie cleans it up

hollow river
#

Painsmith and Fate with trials is... starege

slow marsh
#

This group thankfully hasn't ever had issues with fate but painsmith on the other hand...

#

That fight is always rough I feel

hollow river
#

We were basically one shotting pain when it was all main raiders

slow marsh
#

One night we one shot our KT + Sylv then wiped on painsmith 6 times

hollow river
#

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

slow marsh
#

We're at that point too

#

And I say that as one of them lmao

hollow river
#

We’ve been doing the skip and like saving Fate for last

#

Which imo

slow marsh
#

But they been booting people they know won't work out

hollow river
#

Same

#

I think most of us want to push for better na rank next tier

#

Like 200 higher if we can

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

glass tulip
#

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

winged ravine
#

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

glass tulip
#

if you want to excel in M+ I would check out sub 🤢

winged ravine
#

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

glass tulip
#

assassination is decent but sub is "meta" pepe_eyeroll

#

but yeah otherwise pretty easy

#

spam rupture, keep CT up, do boss damage

winged ravine
#

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?

glass tulip
#

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

winged ravine
#

ah, so different entirely than primal wrath

#

good to know

glass tulip
#

only other big difference in talents is playing subterfuge/vigor and opening with 3-4 garrotes

#

since it silences

winged ravine
#

i assume subt/vigor gets replaced with master assassin/deeper strat in raid?

glass tulip
#

Marked for death is the most optimal, but you can sim to be sure

winged ravine
#

woah, okay, didn't expect that to be the case lol

glass tulip
#

blindside/deeper is sim bait, dont use that except for purely ST and if you like the playstyle

Apparently CT can be neutral to spec into for pure ST compared to EP MFD if you run Obedience

dark token

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

good thing I can sim a bis profile by just copypasting the dagger and adding ,ilevel=252 after my trinket string

spice spire
#

Literally a decade without you, Cev

hollow river
#

But I still think there’s something to be said for getting extra Flag casts on aoe heavy fights

limber lion
#

That's not what the sim is though

#

It's pure single target

hollow river
#

Or even having Flag for every down phase 100% because atm with our timings I don’t

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

Sure but if Obe+CT is ~neutral ST you can basically defer that it’s going to be more aoe

limber lion
#

wat

#

that's not how that works

hollow river
#

I mean CT is more aoe damage and so is Oedience

limber lion
#

"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

hollow river
#

Don’t we already know that

#

???

#

How isn’t it

limber lion
#

Literally comes down to fight length

#

Nothing else

hollow river
#

Dashing is great aoe but we don’t run it in aoe environments like m+ where there’s a lot of ST too

limber lion
#

Because Obedience is superior in M+

hollow river
#

Sure and on all those fights I’d also get extra Flag

limber lion
#

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"

hollow river
#

I didn’t say it was

limber lion
#

Obedience is better for most AoE fights, but if a fight length is piss, Dashing beats it

hollow river
#

These fights aren’t either or as well

limber lion
#

It's not "Obedience is better, period".

hollow river
#

I mean I said above

dark token
hollow river
#

Something to be said about having more Flag casts on those aoe fights

#

Literally

limber lion
#

Yes

dark token
#

also i just go zoldyck in m+

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

limber lion
#

But you literally said "Obedience is better in aoe, don't we know that already"

#

But yeh anyways

hollow river
#

But I still think there’s something to be said for getting extra Flag casts on aoe heavy fights

#

Word for word

#

So like

#

????

limber lion
#

wat

#

literally

hollow river
#

Sure

limber lion
#

It's like saying one dumb thing and then following it up with something else

hollow river
#

Lmfao

#

Ok buddy

#

Sure

#

Whatever you say

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

Because they are long fights?

limber lion
#

20 flags is literally 20+ minutes

hollow river
#

And I’ve checked the timers?

limber lion
#

the raid doesn't have fights that last 20 minutes

#

Also AoE does not necessarily mean more stacks

hollow river
#

Sure

#

Fok can troll hard kekw

limber lion
#

yeh

hollow river
#

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

limber lion
#

Yeh, like said previously

hollow river
#

And net me an extra cast 100%

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

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

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

But the CT thing idk monkaS

limber lion
#

because the stacks are almost the same with MFD

#

But yeh, I like Obedience on some fights as well

hollow river
#

What did you mean exactly

limber lion
#

In single target you get 25-30 stacks when using Flag with MFD

hollow river
#

Raid fights needing to be 20+ minutes? This makes no sense to me

#

Right

limber lion
#

In AoE, theoretically you can get 30 stacks everytime

#

not really, but in theory

hollow river
#

Sure

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

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?

arctic walrus
#

Conversations like these make you wish you were gone for a year 🤣

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

I never meant aoe=more casts

#

That’s a misunderstanding, I meant the aoe fights in the raid do. At least, for me

limber lion
#

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.

hollow river
#

^yeah ig

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

Depends on timer tho ye? peeposhrug

limber lion
#

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

agile geode
#

9 february still no dagger

#

trying from july

#

no joke

#

lul

hollow river
#

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

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

I don’t mean comparing CT and PB

#

But yeah, idk

limber lion
#

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

hollow river
#

Yeah that’s not what I meant to compare

limber lion
#

Raid dps is all over the place, so some guild groups will see more value from Obedience than others

#

And depending on the boss

hollow river
#

For me, I mean

limber lion
#

so it sims everything between ~3-5 minutes

hollow river
#

Even this late into farm, our fight lengths have always been pretty bad. Inconsistent, but somewhat predictable.

limber lion
#

But yeh

#

Anything can happen, one dude dying very early on will tank the overall dps quite a bit

hollow river
#

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

You get 20s CDR from faeries right? I’m not familiar with autumn

I think it depends on how much the priest casts, right? It usually wound up being 20s for me, but dunno if that changes
