the main issue is getting your aoe out before everything dies. its not the damage. ITS THE DAMAGE PROFILE of the spec.

i shouldve been more clear about it

god damn this is a good emote

thanks oxi

#

its not that the spec doesnt do damage it does, its just super fucking slow to get out

spice spire
#

I ran a 15 with minalba and some gent Alts from the server, minalba was tanking and out damaged me because shit insta died LMFAO

bleak sky
#

some specs have front loaded kits, some have back loaded kits

#

it happens

#

sin just happens to be the latter

spice spire
#

Ye

wind dune
#

and when m+ is all about doing burst aoe and lining cds up it just falls short IMO. I still play the spec in m+ and prefer it

bleak sky
#

same with aff lock, they don't start out doing 230k dps, they ramp to it

#

it's a non-issue

bleak sky
#

it's fine that classes and specs have different damage profiles, not everyone has to be front loaded nor back loaded shrugFreg

You’re like 218 healing a 15

Is there any data, using the current beta tuning, as to whether Assas or Sub will be the go to raid spec?

gusty mirage

both will be fine

as to which will be better, we have to wait until tuning is done

but there's preliminary sims in each of the channel's 9.2 threads

#

I mean ultimately isn't the issue basically that they are... the same?
Subterfuge is 80% Garrote, Nightstalker is 50% Rupture or whatever does more DPET than Rupture (e.g. nothing.) On the same cooldown. With the same conditions.
The funny part is even basic napkin math shows there's not much difference between them fundamentally.

  • Rupture is 12.53% AP per tick over a max of 36.4 seconds = 456% AP total
  • Garrote is 12% AP per tick over a max of 23.4 seconds = 280% AP total
    (Same Haste/Mastery/Vers coefficients, so can ignore those)

280% * 0.8 = 224% bonus AP damage from Subterfuge
456% * 0.5 = 228% bonus AP damage from Nightstalker

But Subterfuge leads to higher 4pc Garrote durations during Vendetta, generates a small amount of CP, increases cleave potential, allows Ambush. There is really no way for it not to be better atm even in the most simplistic view.

I can summarize that in fewer words

#

Nightstalker on Assa = balls

fleet anchor
#

I mean, we already know that. The point of the words was to explain why. 😛

limber lion
#

Nightstalker is pretty interesting tbh, but it's just meh

fleet anchor
#

There were some thought experiments in beta of like

limber lion
#

I would like for NS to be the superior choice in pure single target

#

Subterfuge is already the go-to in AoE/Cleave

fleet anchor
#

What if Sepsis benefitted the whole way from Nightstalker (like say the bonk also)

#

That might have made NS good potentially

#

But you'd need something with higher DPET than Rupture which is difficult

fleet anchor
#

Rupture is what, around 20k damage or something

fleet anchor
# grizzled jay Or SBS pog

I mean technically this still works and gives a minor boost to Nightstalker iirc if you can get it working, but not quite enough to make it better

#

It's still really iffy though getting it to work

#

I don't think they ever fixed it, but it's like hitbox dependent

#

@marble hemlock may have played around with it more recently, idk. I haven't tried it this tier at all

grizzled jay
#

I was more thinking the DoT getting the damage buff permanently lol

fleet anchor
#

It does snapshot Nightstalker if you are close enough to the target, it's just future casts overwrite it

grizzled jay
#

Ah.

fleet anchor
#

Which pretty much negates the benefit

#

If you never cast SBS again you'll lose almost as much damage as you gain

grizzled jay
#

Ye

fleet anchor
#

And it's unreliable since it depends on projectile travel time

#

But yes, I agree. If you could properly snapshot Nightstalker with SBS and not have it mess up, that could be a potential way for NS to see some play

grizzled jay
#

I like NS more than Subt personally due to the MS utility but ye Subt just gives more raw benefits even if it is about the same numerical numbers.

fleet anchor
#

Or if it buffed the whole duration of Flag, or whole duration of Sepsis, etc.

#

But NS is already scripted jank

#

And the time of snapshots is mostly over on the mechanics side

marble hemlock
#

its weird with NS

marble hemlock
#

but nah, i didnt do anything with NS since we last played around with it for fun basically

#

iirc it was like being close enough means you get both the dot and initial improved

#

if youre too far away you dont

#

or the other way around

#

the former

#

you gotta be inside the hitbox, then both the initial dmg and the dot get buffed by nightstalker

#

and as long as oyu dont recast SBS on the target, itll stay that way

#

so potentially useful on cleave fights i suppose

frosty cedar
#

and then with necro legendary you use sbs on one of the cleave targets and it refreshes the other OMEGAKEKW

who wants to bring me on a CE reclear lol. we're taking a break and we were midway through p2

hah

#

I just was hoping to get 5/10M

But I'm hard stuck at 4/10 😦

alpine latch
#

100%

#

My guild lucked into 3/10

glass tulip
#

sometimes it be like that

alpine latch
#

Oh, 100%

#

We re-progged to AotC 3 times this tier

#

I'm honestly kind of surprised we got 3

proven moth
#

So New patch got announced and I didn't get either heroic or mythic dagger sadgecry

strange python
#

does anyone remember from 9.1
if you do a max ilvl dungeon in the offseason
do you get old max ilvl or new season max ilvl
on launch date

strange python
#

so its basically not worth spamming , only do one higher to get a +15/+16 after the keystone gets scaled

alpine latch
#

You're honestly kind of dumb if you don't go into week 1 with a 10 vault

strange python
#

you can get tier set as 252 ?

alpine latch
#

Yup

strange python
#

fair enough

cerulean nest
#

can anyone who's woke about the week-by-week new patch game plan DM me? just wanting to jot down a little schedule for myself

glass tulip
#

week 1 they capped the vault at 236, which was +15 key ilvl drops

#

then on the same week mythic opened I think was when you could get 252 which was +15 vault ilvl

#

could be wrong but that was how I remember it

slow marsh
#

week 1 is just questing stuff and then week 2 is the first new vault yeah

strange python
#

but for real now u can get tier sets week 1 😄

glass tulip
#

if you get a drop off of Anduin and then a tier piece in the vault then yeah it is possible theoretically

woeful meteor
#

isnt it 3 bosses week 1 that give Tier so in theory 4 set is possible with insane loot luck and Vault

slow marsh
#

i thought the last tokens are gated to last 3

#

so can't get 4p until mythic week

fleet anchor
#

Yeah until the raids open up there's no GV progress for the next season. They mention this indirectly in their post

MYTHIC+ OFF-SEASON
Mythic+ dungeons will still be playable using Season 2 affixes and rewards. Mythic+ Ratings can still be accumulated, and the seasonal achievements will still be available – except for the 0.1% “Tormented Hero” title and achievement.
#

There's the off-season limbo state

alpine latch
#

ugh

strange python
#

so no tier sets at 252

alpine latch
#

So there's literally no reason to play wow for 2 weeks?

woeful meteor
vestal wren
strange python
#

in the offseason you just do a 18/19/20 depending on how many levels they scale the keystones so you get a +15/+16 on launch date

#

other than that

slow marsh
fleet anchor
#

Just not much reason to do M+

#

But considering I haven't done M+ in like 3 months, this is no change for me 🤣

glass tulip
#

just watch dratnos videos as they come out and do what he says

#

ez

gusty mirage

😛

#

true meaning of weekly 15 no leaver incoming in 2 weeks

#

I remember doing a 12 pf early in the expac

fleet anchor
gusty mirage
#

and it legit took us like an hour

#

lmao

fleet anchor
#

People busted out the 20s for the achievement before the scaling changes kicked in

gusty mirage
#

tyran pf with average ilvl of 178

fleet anchor
#

Which I'm not totally sure why they allowed tbh lol

gusty mirage
#

yeah that was odd

glass tulip
#

you werent 185 when the raid came out?

#

filthy casual

#

some <anvil gaming> player you are smh

alpine latch
#

Okay, so fuck ... I need to research Sin so I don't suck

#

One day I'll be good at this game

#

I swear guys

slow marsh
#

you and me both buddy

alpine latch
#

I look at my IO and I'm top 3 rogues on the server. My takeaway from that is my server doesn't have any good rogues

#

lol

hollow river

and then we'll worry about vault of the wardens

cant wait to farm legion TW again

#

Yeah I’m just gonna quit the game now instead

alpine latch
#

I already cry myself to sleep most nights. If I swapped to Sub IDK if I'd make it

gusty mirage
#

quitting seems fine

dawn ivy
#

idk dude Sin only turns on when it has 2/4pc and double leggo

#

and even then its shaky

glass tulip
#

better players > "better" spec

slow marsh
#

I mean legion TW 2nd week of mythic is kinda love/hate

glass tulip
#

I need legion to be up during spring break

dawn ivy
#

dont farm timewalking its not worth

glass tulip
#

so I can just grind it out

slow marsh
#

AA ring seems pretty worth

glass tulip
#

it was def worth this tier

dawn ivy
#

you have to farm 15s

#

yeah because we had infinite valor

#

and could spam 2s

#

you wont have infinite valor

glass tulip
#

gotta farm PF at the same level early on

slow marsh
#

I mena yeah it'll come down to resource management

glass tulip
#

10s or so

dawn ivy
#

thats easy though

slow marsh
#

also time too

dawn ivy
#

look at PF loot table

glass tulip
#

and 10 vault isnt? lol

dawn ivy
#

now look at CoS loot table

#

vault or CoS doesnt matter

slow marsh
#

vaults def seems sketch

dawn ivy
#

just by a numbers game, its not worth doing

cerulean nest
#

any massive gearing changes outside of tier for us? Phial still necessary etc.?

dawn ivy
glass tulip
#

looks like same old stuff, all sims will be ran once everything is out

slow marsh
#

I doubt it'll end up being a 200 dps gain over raid trinks like 9.1.5

#

But it's kinda fun that we will have more choices imo

glass tulip
#

stg if it is someone needs to be fired

cerulean nest
#

which raid trinks are looking saucy?

dawn ivy
#

we still dont know

glass tulip
#

🤷 have not looked a singular time

dawn ivy
#

raid trinkets are still largely untested

slow marsh
#

There's a super oculus gland + cov stacking trinket that seems to be the favorite

cerulean nest
#

gotcha

slow marsh
#

it already got nerfed once though

glass tulip
#

wait til feb 24 after whispyr sims everything in existence lol

cerulean nest
#

cannot wait

glass tulip
#

then do it yourself

cerulean nest
#

no i meant, i cant wait

dawn ivy
#

get ready for dissappointment

cerulean nest
#

like im excited lol

alpine latch
#

Sigh, fuck fuck fuck

#

I can't get a Mythic Sylv dagger

#

So ... RIP

cerulean nest
#

how long does it take raidbots to be up to date on a patch launch

slow marsh
#

dang parsley being a real downer today

cerulean nest
#

for simming

dawn ivy
#

IM JUST BEIN HONEST

slow marsh
#

my sub is only simming + 400 for me right now without dom shards

#

I get what you mean like yeah sub is looking like the clear winner overall right now, especially early prog. but I still have hope

dawn ivy
#

idk what to call it but the....gear progression? of sin is just pretty rough

#

it onyl really comes together when you have everything and thats just rough

slow marsh
#

Well it just relies too heavily on BP in general yeah

dawn ivy
#

sub is good with no set, 2pc, 4pc, double leggo and it doesnt need to change leggos/builds/cov a single time

slow marsh
#

It didn't really pop off till i bugged whisp about dashing + frost and then they buffed frost the week after

#

whereas sub was just good the entire time

#

and only got better and better with optimizations

dawn ivy
#

yeah im still copium that sin will get a small nudge during heroic testing

slow marsh
#

Just a couple bug fixes would do the trick imo

dawn ivy
#

wish that poison application bug would get reverted/fixed

slow marsh
#

The fight layouts favor sin after 4p imo but it's just early prog that's gonna hurt

dawn ivy
#

cringe they just quit letting multiple abilities apply poison

#

i think lords of dread is the only boss where sin might outshine sub given good conditions

#

but thats only if the fight goes like it does in my head

#

i thiknk rygelon and jailer is pretty big for sub

#

but as always sin has the benefit of just being easier in new encounters so maybe it still sees play

slow marsh
#

I think it'll see play more because of 1min vend "burst" windows

dawn ivy
#

gotta go venthyr if thats the case, i think thats the better prog covenant

slow marsh
#

Ehhh with token yeah sure but sepsis cast and forget is big

dawn ivy
#

making our niche the 1 minute vendetta/flag would be pretty useful

#

yeah but sepsis wont link with vendetta often

#

if you want that 1 minute niche you gotta really lean into it

grim tangle
#

BUT SOULSHAPE

slow marsh
#

Yeah but venth's issue is still sync timers

dawn ivy
#

its not a really big issue

#

you MIGHT lose 1 vendetta over a sylvanas style fight

slow marsh
#

you lose a vend over a 5min fight

dawn ivy
#

and while that sounds bad for a parse, for prog having 1 minute vendetta/flag is huge juice

#

holding is nothing anyone is surprised by

#

again yeah its not good for a parse

#

but if youre being brought for the 1min niche, which i agree is potentially viable, you gotta really lean into it

cerulean nest
#

so are we, as of now, going to have to do that weird vendetta snapshotting thing?

dawn ivy
#

YEAH

cerulean nest
#

i havent looked too closely into it bc I thought they were fixing it

dawn ivy
#

you get used to it

#

go to a target dummy and just feel it out

slow marsh
#

Na if they fix it they'd have to buff something else

cerulean nest
#

whats the TLDR of it?

slow marsh
#

it'd put us too far behind the other two specs

glass tulip
#

what is a "weird vendetta snapshotting thing"

#

just redotting before it ends?

dawn ivy
#

garrote and full rupture before vendetta drops

slow marsh

#

so your last few globals of vendetta NEED to be garrote and rupture

slow marsh
#

and don't overwrite those snapshotted bleeds

dawn ivy
#

yeah

glass tulip
#

so just a normal snapshot lol

dawn ivy
#

its...kinda normal

#

kinda not

slow marsh
#

They generally naturally pandemic at the end of vend so you don't usually have to hard overwrite a rupture but it does come up sometimes

cerulean nest
#

so those snapshotted bleeds, once they themselves are in pandemic, should be refreshed right? or you mean literally letting them run out

dawn ivy
#

basically

#

its just esanguinate

#

you reup the bleeds RIGHT as they drop

#

but try not letting both drop

cerulean nest
#

gotcha

slow marsh
#

Na you wouldn't pandemic the snapshotted bleeds, you'd want to wait them out until 1/2s

#

yeah

cerulean nest
#

snapshot last few globals of vend, then reup those ones right as they drop

#

ez

slow marsh
#

That's really what's juicing the dusk cdr is the snapshot

dawn ivy
#

i personally still end up letting one drop for a fraction of a second sometimes, but you still want to avoid that

cerulean nest
#

ty ty

dawn ivy
#

youll notice garrote and its pandemic window is very similar

#

so you can watch your vendetta duration

#

and pop garrote on 7 seconds

#

and then pop it at 1 second

#

and then you have a full juiced pandemic garrote

cerulean nest
#

cool. tbh i havent touched ptr. is there an easy way to jump in with the full set/leggos and test it out

dawn ivy
#

yeah

#

go to the middle left vendor he has double leggo and all the set pieces

cerulean nest
#

in oribos?

dawn ivy
#

yeah

hollow river
#

You won’t have NF soul binds unless you’ve done that campaign before

#

Even on PTR afaik

dawn ivy
#

well you can buy 80 renown

cerulean nest
#

yeah i have it 80

#

man we were closing in on p3 prog before this announcement. stings to not get all the way there

hollow river
#

Then you’re set

hollow river
#

Didn’t for me anyway

dawn ivy
#

i think my rogue might had started night fae a year ago

#

so that might have snuck its way into that

static sky
#

on the logs assassin is ranking really high for raid, but my sim is like 1400 under sub... is it just a scaling thing?

#

like i need a ton of haste

slow marsh
#

It's an external thing

hollow river
#

Nah 1400 difference? Something is wrong there

vestal wren
#

raid statistics are somewhat useless because they are more dependent on who can get the most externals

slow marsh
dawn ivy
hollow river
#

Yeah WCL isn’t the best to look at for comparisons etc

#

But that sim sounds like it’s COOKED

vestal wren
#

did you use the frost set in your sim?

hexed frost
#

Is everyone ready for some night fae supremacy? starege sepsis

static sky
#

i dont have any dom sockets

#

i just started playing again

#

runnin my sub sim again so i have them to compare

slow marsh
#

If you dont have dom sockets then yeah sub is gonna beat sin

dawn ivy
#

oh that is a bit of a problem i think?

#

sin leans on dom gems a wee bit more than sub LOL

static sky
#

ohhh okay i gotcha

#

thats unfortunate, i hate sub :/

slow marsh
#

then dont play it

#

do what you want fam

Are we going NF for 9.2?

Toxic Onslaught ain't much

But we'll have it on legendary belt

are we start with venthyr and switch to fae with 2p or 4p?

weary marten

what ? where did you read we are going fae ? oO

That's been the common consensus for a long time now lol.

You have 2 weeks have at it

glass tulip

Then don't play it :)

copper sundial
#

Much more actually

limber lion
#

the difference is like less than 200 dps between Venthyr and Night Fae

#

with double legos and tier set

#

you'll be Venth until then

I'm still gonna throw my boner at people Sinscheme

You too can throw boners with this one easy trick

one thing's really gonna suck next tier: having to move out for mechanic on your 10 seconds window after the Sepsis dot. Hope that wont be relevant too often copium

fleet anchor

The set bonus mechanics snapshot haste when Rupture and Garrote are cast

So it really doesn't matter that much

As long as you're standing in Blossoms when you cast them

It'll be interesting to see where we go for top spot, Sin or Sub

I was thinking of trying outlaw, but then I remembered I'm not a warrior main

I love it as assassination

outside of sylv its a hit it and forget it button

Yeah which i appreciate

yeah it feels like shit going to sub and having to manually refresh it

Me neither.. i blow cd's on pull and just use Flag downstairs

I don’t use flag downstairs

I don’t have time because boomkin annihilates our remnant

I’m just standing there afk

We only have one boomie on Remnant.... Its me a boomie a WW monk and Arms War

Our boomkins rotate ramps down there

We don't get set buff

Maybe a big fix buff

Or slight talent buff

bleak sky

🤣🤣

slow marsh
#

Tier isn't the problem it's the base spec power

#

We just need another 8% aura buff that's all copium

#

I'm actually kinda goated tho I planned a cruise that I'm leaving for today and will be back on the 19th. Meanwhile we have like 2 dps on vacation week 1 mythic

bleak sky
#

man I'd be happy with just changes to FoK

thorn fjord
#

Baseline 10% dmg increase will do... lets start writing letters to MS

thorn fjord
bleak sky
#

make fok not suck as a generator and I'm smiling all day

slow marsh
#

I'm still on hopium that we'll get a slight nudge either this coming week or heroic week

#

But like very slight

thorn fjord
#

To overall dmg? Or to like bleeds/dots

slow marsh
#

Cuz as it stands we'll be fine, it's just sub is outright better in every area other than 2t

thorn fjord
slow marsh
#

And outlaw is looking pretty nice for a burst option so we're kinda just left in good but not quite good enough tier in terms of rogue overall

#

So I'm hopeful they'll throw us a bone somehow at some point

bleak sky
#

but we're now a 25 sec cd class

slow marsh
#

Psh shiv isn't even a cd

fleet anchor
#

More of a CD than Vendetta

bleak sky
#

shiv is our BIG MOMENT

#

wait wrong discord

slow marsh
#

Well it's an uptime cd yeah but when I think of cd in the typical sense it's not really one anymore

subtle tundra
#

ok but when i use vendetta i put dots more!!!

slow marsh
#

It's big % with 2p but not like something that we can play around. Just press it more and hold for vend / sepsis

subtle tundra
#

p-pog!!!!

gusty mirage
#

hey did you guys know that we're getting tier tokens next patch?

slow marsh
#

Did you know that I'm glad there's only one warrior in my group

thorn fjord
#

-_-

slow marsh
#

The dh bit doesn't matter. War monk rogue

thorn fjord
#

We have a WW too i forgot lol

#

He wants to swap to rogue though I think

slow marsh
#

I'm kinda surprised more groups aren't going brew

thorn fjord
#

Our BDK is swapping to Brew I think

bleak sky
#

brew prot pally/bdk tier again YEP

oak sky
#

why did you say outlaw looks like a good burst class

slow marsh
#

We have a bdk too but he'll always be bdk I think. Then our other tank is going prot pal

oak sky
#

are they swapping to a leggo that makes it good

bleak sky
#

speaking of tank damage

slow marsh
#

Bread blades is actually good even with obedience

oak sky
#

oh dreadblades

#

thought they were kyrian tho

slow marsh
#

It simmed higher than kyrian

oak sky
#

hm

#

cool

bleak sky
#

someone's gotta stop dem monks

slow marsh
#

And is burst so it double wins

bleak sky
#

they can't just niuzao for 10k dps KEKW

oak sky
#

external logs btw

bleak sky
#

monks are no external

oak sky
#

pog

#

fuck prot pal

bleak sky
#

yeah fuck them run them to the ground

slow marsh
#

Brew monks are nasty and with ww not looking so hot it's danger zone for dps monks

bleak sky
#

oh ww are cut

#

hopefully

slow marsh
#

Too bad nobody plays brew so ww will stick around anyways

hollow river
#

I think we’re running brew and mw

strange python
hollow river
#

And prot pal

strange python
#

Gonna have 1810827291827 sham/priest tokens

slow marsh
#

Pretty sure everyone was prepping mw then they nerfed the shit out of venth and they bailed

strange python
#

I think blood DKs making a resurgence next patch.

slow marsh
#

Bdk was meta in sod wym

strange python
#

We're going to run 2 MWs for prog even post-nerf

#

Bdk was good in sod but not insane. Prot and brew were still stronk. Seems unavoidably OP in sepulcher

bleak sky
#

bdk is just gonna be super strong in m+ now as well

#

and I'm all here for it prayge

spice spire
#

That’s dope

#

Cope I mean

#

Wait there’s a glorious clip from my lock of him tanking a DoS

bleak sky

bdk/protpal/brew in keys Pog

strange python
#

Our tanks prepped pal, DK, brew, and dh

bleak sky
#

dh KEKW

strange python
#

Was lobbying for the guardian dream

oak sky
#

mw is still good

#

what

slow marsh
#

I think for keys ww will 100% still be meta

oak sky
#

but didnt they bug fix the ww set

gusty mirage
slow marsh
#

Mw is still good but the fotm mw died I think

oak sky
#

ye

#

its like

#

really good

#

but not broken stack 3 broken

strange python
slow marsh
#

So like good mw should still be played

spice spire
#

I tagged in other chat, it’s not me so I hope that’s kosher monkaGIGA

oak sky
#

like mw is meta just not SSS tier

#

probably

slow marsh
#

Imo monk prio should be mw>brew>ww

#

For raid

oak sky
#

i think it should be different every patch

#

ideally

#

so they all get to have fun

strange python
#

MW still really strong imo. The nerf is being oversold

gusty mirage
#

its kind of like okay whatever

slow marsh
#

Like I said it killed off the fotm rollers

gusty mirage
#

it's still disgustingly strong

slow marsh
#

But mw gamers will still pump

strange python
#

I think we're rolling 2 mw, 2 sham, 1 disc

slow marsh
#

Our only mw plays holy pal so rip

oak sky
#

pally is still good anyway

strange python
#

I'm kinda shocked enh is going to go nerfless

#

But then I saw that forums+Reddit think enh is weak

oak sky
#

theres 1 more ptr patch

#

the release candidate

strange python
#

Our enh thinks that the average enh player is so bad that they'll go under the radar

hollow river
#

Lmfao true

strange python
#

Curious if we'll run two rogues...

#

We have two rogues, two wars, two dh, dk, enh, ret

hollow river
#

We have 3 DH now

strange python
#

Tragic

#

That class looks awful rn

hollow river
#

Very

#

Our other rogue is rolling boomkin

strange python
#

Ours might do the same

hollow river
#

I’m trying to roll warrior

strange python
#

Are you me?

#

I have also been wanting to play warrior

hollow river
strange python
#

I low-key think I could 95% on warrior with no practice

oak sky
#

i bet 1 rogue is good

strange python
#

Class looks like a joke

oak sky
#

but warrior is definitely op lol

hollow river
#

I’m just getting tired of rogue man

strange python
#

I'm convinced that warrior is omegaeasy

oak sky
#

most classes arent really that bad

#

and warrior is definitely easy

hollow river
oak sky
#

arms can write an essay between spenders

strange python
#

I can't figure out what's involved in that spec other than save rage for colossus smash

oak sky
#

fury just slams their keyboard

strange python
#

Both our warriors are like 90%ers average and I don't know how

grizzled jay
#

Because 90% of Warrior mains think having abilities off the gcd is too hard

fleet anchor
strange python
#

Boomies going back NF, no?

hollow river
strange python
#

After the nerf

hollow river
#

He’s playing Venthyr/NF

fleet anchor
#

I'll believe it when I see it

hollow river
#

KA for farm maybe

strange python
#

We have four warlocks for next tier....

#

Stupid hero class

hollow river
#

Everyone in my guild says warlock isn’t great next tier

#

“Falls behind with double leggos”

red plaza
#

Aren’t warlocks in a tough spot next tier

strange python
#

Our warlock sees people saying that and laughs

hollow river
#

Copium

strange python
#

Idk, our lock thinks lock is OP

hollow river
strange python
#

I trust our lock.

hollow river
#

I don’t think it’s OP

oak sky
#

at least 1 lock spec is gonna be good for sure

hollow river
#

But it’s like

oak sky
#

(its destro)

hollow river
#

Rogue level easy

strange python
#

I think warlock TCs are just whiney. Like boomies.

hollow river
#

Yeah

fleet anchor
#

Warlock is definitely undersimming

#

There are at least a couple known bugs in the module they are trying to fix

oak sky
#

ive heard theres some scuffed shit in their sims

strange python
#

I'm willing to believe that's because the warlock TCs are always 80 years late to updating their apl.

#

They didn't even release aff apls until 2 weeks into nathria

fleet anchor
#

Their APL work is kinda improving over the last half a tier though since they have some more active folks now

#

So that's something at least

strange python
#

It was AWFUL in 9.0

#

I was brand new to the class and couldn't find any resources anywhere because of it

grizzled jay
#

They just let THD 6Head for them and do whatever he does

oak sky
#

thats actually true

fleet anchor
#

And besides, who cares. They always get raid spots anyway since every Mythic fight is designed around having 2-7 Warlock gates

oak sky
#

ive heard all the good warlocks go to thds discord instead of the warlock discord

hollow river
strange python
#

I've always been surprised+glad that a lot of the high-skill/high-ranked rogues are in this disc. Pretty abnormal for class discs

upbeat needle
#

Tbh I think we have the best class Discord.

grizzled jay
#

Druid is pretty nice as well

strange python
#

You're not a "sim it" Boomie discord enjoyer?

grizzled jay
#

Monk is too doomium

upbeat needle
#

DK discord was pretty good when I mained it in 9.1

strange python
#

Druid discord is my pick for absolute worst class disc that should be burned

grizzled jay
#

I only used Feral/Guardian

hollow river
grizzled jay
#

Was chill

strange python
#

Dh is just weeby and dumb. Druid disc is dumb and arrogant about how dumb they are.

upbeat needle
#

Mage is pretty bad too

strange python
#

I hear mage disc is better

hollow river
#

DH discord is where memes and souls go to die

strange python
#

Back in 8.3 mage disc didn't have spec channels, just one giant megachat

grizzled jay
#

At least Warlock Discord knows they are the hero class

strange python
#

Sorta

#

In 9.0 warlock disc was convinced affliction didn't need nerfs

grizzled jay
#

Boomies act like they've never been good ever in the history of this game

thorn fjord
#

Didnt they suck for alot of BFA?

strange python
#

Also when you say "lock is always good" they immediately go "BUT EMERALD NIGHTMARE"

#

Boomies were, at worst, middle of the pack in BFA.

#

But also very very strong on the difficult fights, like nzoth

#

Ghuun*

grizzled jay
#

Method got world first in 8.2 cause of balance lol

#

Used 2 of em to OH to replace a healer to push dps

#

It's mostly just Tettles tho

limber lion

Haven't heard of this

I didn't even know about that but all I could find were deleted tweets on the competitivewow subreddit

He was in the Gamer Word dump that focused on club camel

bleak sky

so i still got no context

strange python

Couple n bombs

oak sky

yeah i heard about that

club camel is very known for that stuff i feel like

Wait not club camel
