Sin is perfectly viable until 23s or so. And even after
Honestly in pugs up until +18 you might even find sin outperforms sub based on smaller group pulls
just did the dungeon normally?
Thought so too. Played with a DH/hunter without tierset and that trash was melting before i put up my dots and start my "Rotation"
sin is fine for normal weekly keys we just like to complain about it being bad because the 2 button spec is better in every asepct
i was doing it normally and it dc'd so yeah
tru
at what point is it dcing?
seems to work for locks mages and boomies so time for me to adopt it
8-9 minutes
Are there any sin Rogue outthere whos streamin or in your opinon worth to see? Wanna see some highgear actions :)
You were the chosen one, etc. etc.
I however am open to changing my ways if I see there is hope
yeah? any posts or anythin
not that i can find
a ton of people complaining on the twitter tho
guess ill hold my court for us later
probably for the best
fun fact, some of the other TW trinkets are extremely close to phial. Like the egg trinket from thicket is -14
Thought that was kinda cool
Sure and that's within it. So like if you wanted to be different and use a dragon egg trinket you could and not be trolling
only us real quirky gamer girls gonna use dragon egg
actually dragons are just cool ill probs use it lul
I would use it if i didn't already have phial tbh
So true bestie
yeah no phial yet so
lol my bf opened my vault last tier and got the phial which was my first of the xpac
had him do it again today and he got me a socket
very sad
no shot
thats what is aid when he opened it
Buddy he didn’t even get a phial out of his
XD
my vaults are poop
No dagger, no phial, passed on iqd early. i'm cursed
looks like its time to uninstall
Idk I see tier chest or shoulders tbh
yup just got dc'ed on our way to first boss, dungeon insta reset lol
guess no ring before raid 
orly
So weird
I did a15 fine soona s realm came up
how far into the dungeon does it bug?
right when getting to the bridge after first lamp post
Does assass want court of stars auto attack ring still
bis ring
Yea
anyone run a droptomizer for TW that I can see? just wanna see the range
and I'm at work lol
265 one I was trying recently 1-8%-2% overall on fortified 19-20s
Had the same tier as a choice in vault
but got a 278 dagger now 
I've gotten 278 shadowgrasp, 278 phial, lihuvim 278 dagger as my last three vaults
betrayal trinket is best, then faulty is -40ish, both are behind cache and sigil. CoS ring is BiS by a lot
for comparison
so guides and discord recommend poison bomb even after 4pc but everyones running crimson tempest on ST - is this just because of the 4pc vendetta window?
Check the pins
Yes, specifically with venthyr it ends up being better. Venthyr still hasn’t been added to guides n stuff
But also that

Whíspyr is just a venthyr HATER
its so fun tho 
whats mfd
Marked for death
marke dfor death
ah ty
yea mb this is like 5th alt lmao
ok i read pins and see nothing about CT other than one of them says to run it for talents
but faq says not to
and guides say not to
but logs say do too 🤔
This post is a good primer for it
nvm actually it snuck in ye
The beauty of assassination is we have a lot of passionate (boomers) theory crafters scraping out every bit of damage they can
And if it’s a significant gain (see that post) it’ll be pinned
ty
ring it is
nice
is legion TW tomorrow ? (EU)
We still gonna farm faulty?
Pins 





i need rotation for lords when playing necro
Opener or general rotation
opener
man now that i know how to properly burst (4/4) its so fucking smooth
lol
Cooldowns go brrrr
just feels weird being venthyr and not runnin MA
Court is buggy right now it seems. I've had whole party disconnect with instance resetting in 2 out of 5 runs this morning.
Hope it get fixed today.
It is
Not for me in this 2
Something to do with the 10+ affix?
Might be
completely random for me. mid dungeon fighting trash the first time. Right before final boss the last time. Both low keys.
I've done 12 keys under 10 no crashes now
Every key over 10 breaks
It's definitely the 10 affoc
i did a 5 and it broke
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
ppl in say chat saying its been like 45+ min since stuff was breaking
it's a small indie company guys
Multi dollar company
so two dollar?
we play sigil or cache on lords?
sigil did sim highest for 2 targets
so cast sigil on swarm then
cev also played it on his heroic parse
so i guess you are fine running with it
i assume so (it makes sense to use it for sworm)
Had 2pc when I logged in this morning
Went to ZM and changed my 275 chest into tier
Did a Lords group and got shoulders

4pc baybee
Outdps and bench me 
NODDERS
I’m ready 
Not happening bruh
Quake enhance reroll when?

why not
Year of the spear buddy
So I know it's sub+DS for strict st, but what about simple add fights like Dasaugne or Rygelon
I got it locked and loaded for when I get dethroned (level 52 btw)
don't go enh bro
For the sausage, subt is even further ahead because you can spread it
you'll lose your brain
You’re the right covenant I believe 
it's worse than war
That’s implying I had one before mister deïræ
And that's...

🐀
Yep
is it sub + ds tho?
or MA + MfD
I should have specified NF casue I aint bothering with that snapshotting bullcrap
you're already snapshotting though no matter what cov you pick
(But still a rat)
I would run normal for tier 
My mage is 245 rn i think
Hey if he brings his Mage then my Mage will be the rat. Already getting pooped on by Teets

Depends on trinkets and other things, but manipulating the snapshot not a lot of people want to do
for NF you need to stand in flowers and snapshot flower haste onto your first vendetta bleeds
People avoided GCB on nyalotha
Frost kinda wild tho I wouldn’t worry about it
Teekay also a gamer
avoiding dps gains 
Fun over gains for most.
But I'm Frost... 
This Mfer still running NL
But I run NL... 
I play fire bro
If you want, just dm me. I’ll invite night of and you can get in. Not a guarantee until next week 
That comment was to mister iceblades 
Yeah if i remember
3 Ravenholdt chums

My guild thinks im too rat when i never die and its other people doing mechs wrong that wipes us 
NL is poggies for padding though so it's not even lazy gaming
Bro I’ll run two rat groups at once Idgaf. Alt night is supposed to be for fun 
How long until we can do a full Rogue run?
Too much brain power to speak with calls and do stuff on anything else
I’m 2head gaming

2head better than 1 tho
Barely
Does dashing scoudrel works for the instant poison dmg?
yep but we dont use it after 4p
well i dont even have proper 2 pieces so its fine? xD
Yes
ye you're fine
We already killed Cho'gall like half a dozen times tho
Is it worth trying to get Faulty Countermeasure?
If its a gear upgrade sure
But theres a few mythic trinkets from raid that are likely stronger
what constitutes as an upgrade? Does it outperform heroic trinkets?
If it sims higher its an upgrade
Not sure which heroic trinkets it would beat i havent checked myself
alright thanks ^^
Np
betrayal trinket from vaults is better than countermeasure @hoary kernel
iof venthyr anyways
Gotcha
Timing for CDs for Dreadlords? If flag/vend used on pull they're not quite up for first vuln phase. Just send it and they line up when they line up or hold throughout the fight?
You shouldn't play Venthyr on Lords to be honest.
If you play Dusk, just send Vendetta on the pull and then try to send it once during each swarm and once in between, either right before Among Us or right after it
yeah, I know ideally I swap covs for certain fights but I'm not THAT dedicated lol.
whats secondary stats for sin crit haste?
yeah have to sim cuz cov changes things a bit after you start getting stacked
Lemme clarify this: with 4pc you refresh Garr & Rupt before Vend ends, and you let them both run out before reapplying?
Before it ends
Yeah but do you let those run their course before reapplying?
Just send Vend on pull, without Flag then
And use Flag during the Swarms only
Vend should come up shortly after swarm begins
Ideally yes, but it’s worth extending before vendetta ends, even if not in pandemic.
Obviously not if they’re two seconds in or anything
Does Sub even use Shiv?
if you need to soothe something
To soothe
I mean I refresh them both before Vend ends, do I let those refreshed ones go all the duration?
Oh yes
I always have a hard time sneaking in one last Garrote
Looking over the pins, I need to get better at NL
NL ez
Thanks!
Trying to hammer this new opener into my brain
🧠
so according to pins we hold shiv for the vendetta/flag/mfd, but the sim is sending shiv on CD, which do i listen to lol
Oh shit, I didn't have CT on
Been seeing some interesting ST sims with Necro on top
It really doesn't though, the logic behind it is quite a bit more complex
Anything change or??
Basically it sends Shiv on CD, if you get enough extra casts off it to get more benefit from it
So it's tailored to very specific fight lengths
Man, MfD AND CT? My fingers are crying
Generally you should just sync them up every time, it's much easier to pull off and you won't actually lose value doing that if the fight length ends up being in bad for the sending logic.
fuck that on pure ST i just run PB and say fuck it lol
Yeah, it's not that bad honestly.
because i literally ALWAYS forget to keep CT up midway through the fight
<-- smoothest of brains
thats the opener
so sync unless i know what a fight length is gonna be for sure during prog, got it
not the full window
No
Just sync it everytime
Can I still do 2330021?
There's literally no reason to go the extra mile for an extra potential 10 dps
just to risk doing much, much less dps because of poor timers.
Thats what im doing unless theres cleave
I always sync Shiv with Flag/Vend and I'm doing pretty decent.
So if my word is anything to go by, you probs should just do that.
How was your box Cev
who are you?
aight got it, ty for the help
Eu is tomorrow
Ohh right
Cev is fancier and thus more superior than us Muricans

all facts
but yeah Ash.. If ct is giving you a hard time just run PB... you'll still be blasting
atleast thats the case for myself
Not expecting much, only did one m+ key last week. 
I figure CT would be good for something like padding on Lihuvim adds or Andy's ghouls
Def run CT on Andy
Ct is just good everywhere
I ran PB on Lith
No downside
Downside is having to press an extra button lol
brain full, need empty recycle bin

Ct makes the number in the bottom right higher
Not if you forget to cast it LOL
Can just flex your groin area to make it move, impresses the ladies all the time 
imagine thinking env does damage anymore
25k crit env beg to differ
Bottom right? That's my gold count
Also why is this recommending IW?
is cos fixed yet 
dusk over doomblade?
a man of culture
details is bottom right always, if you disagree too bad you suck
too chad 4 me
our pi sim optimization is so buns it makes me sad to see
all our external sims make me sad to look at
You gonna play with it second by second 
it's just that like people unironically look at these sheets to determine who to give what and our stuff is so scuffed
Pi with flag yep
How long is pi avtually
Actually
I guess you would want it at the end
pi is 20 seconds
the sample sequence in the report linked on the PI spreadsheet has PI coming right on CD at 0/2:00/etc while the vendetta/flags are at like 0:05, 1:14, 2:28
so that 2nd PI is with absolutely nothing up
yeah
the problem is that the sim apl gets weird if you change the pi timing to match every flag near PI cd
it desyncs vend and flag because it thinks you're gonna lose casts near the end
Our lock was out on sunday and i got PI all night
was very nice
PI every Vanish rotation 🙂 and Pull
Heirmir or Marileth for Pantheon?
virgin heirmir users vs chad marileth users
ez

Hi whispyr
Wat
it's no 4p using dashing
Halondrus hc low haste xd
cursed
Priest doesnt like to gimme pi 😦
anyone having luck with cos not bugging?
yeah i ran it twice on a 16 and it was ok
hi
8
With a 5 stack
I'm surprised faulty is outsimming 278 phial and shadowgrasp
But I'd rather just wait for sigil
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
is there a BIS gearing list posted somewhere? I checked FAQ and PINS and the WoWhead guide
no bis list generally just sim stuff
sadly there really is no better answer than sim your self
as pretentious as it comes off sometimes 
i mean yeah but also bis changes depending on your covenant so there's that too
also no point in making bis lists when you need 4/5 tier slots and can't guarantee highest ilvl on all of them so your unity changes around
also if you're asking for a bis list but you're not mechagnome then really what are you even doing anyways
well ACKTUALLY you would be void elf
ytho
brb doing race sim wheres the string
mecha is like +50 over void
dwarf or go home
dorf is the m+ race
or nelf
dorf or NE but if you do NE everyone has to be NE
but if you are a sim dps monkey then mecha by far
quake do you have the racial string
good isn't the best
or know where it is
if i had diaper babies unlocked i'd swap for 9.2.5
i dont have them
It is rn
i was 1 quest away
I have the dumb one
then i lost the quests when i went horde
Are you guys farming Shadow trinket from legion m+ tomorrow? or just COS spam
i wonder if i sim 15k now
cos spam, cache + sigil are both better than tirathion's
aight pog
oh ye i need to sim tw stuff
im gonna be 5 off after the ring 😂
literally spec'd how the FAQ says for ST
@spice spire
im not doing the venth snapshotting, tried it... didnt enjoy it.
sim venthyr MA + MfD and watch it go up 3-400
the faq is a bit outdated, but tbf the difference isn't really that large
there's only one fight so far i would go NF for and that's lihuvium and only because you can get sepsis shiv and bleeds out before first motes
and if he's performing well enough for his team, more power to him i say
Yeah im just doing H weekly. Not a big boi Mythic gamer.
here goes the box boys 
and iceblades was just talking about how he could sim higher
he seems to be aware
lol, anyone get fat loot?
yeeee obviously yes play what you want
LOL 278 Bells
get rekt

bro your gear is so sick
ty i definitely totally earned it

simming more than my sub gear :l
we killed crab today
and i feel more dead after it died
lmao
its just like "was it worth it"
bell?
from vault
bruh 278 cache is bis so yeah
i only need the ring
apparently the boots from darkheart thicket sim a bigger upgrade than the ring tho
yeah those boots are nice
mastery crit
cos crit mast boots are really close tho like 2 dps for me
nah the crit haste ones
the crit haste and crit mast both sim high for me
almost even
i think only heads and belts sim high besides that
and the ring
so ill just chase the ring and if i find some boots or something its cool
Guild won't bring me to pantheon :)
thought u left your guild
pantheon just not really a rogue fight even though we need like 3 things from it
Tell them that cev says that rogue is "creamy" on panth
i mean it's creamy to play but then you look at meters
and see you're with the tanks by the end of it
bro
my dk
is being so annoying
hes like
why dont you play sub on pantheon
and i say
because i dont want to
its boring
its not like we had a damage problem
we killed with like half the raid dead
Apps are out. But I'm still in till I find a home
They know
good luck
“Raid lead isn’t sending me to adds, sin is better cleave”
Oh lmao
rip
you have to clear one add set in p3 still tho
But guess who’s benched on pantheon 
i get that everyone needs to be assigned
Not like I can say anything
tbh isn't mostly just ranged that doesn't hard swap that makes the fight so much harder than it should be
Your locks, boomies, and hunters should be slamming the adds
How's this opener go if you use MfD and get SnD rolling before pull?
mut rup mut gar flag ct mfd envenom vend shiv
Actually gar - muti - flag - rup - mfd - ct - vend - shiv - vanish is better
so you just waste the two MA globals then?
But you honestly shouldn't use MFD/SnD before pull. It's very very very very very minimal gain
Yes, to get the opener rolling quicker
cool
It's kinda cringe
but yeah
@viscid spear you only do that if you can use MFD 25 seconds before pulling the boss.
Otherwise it's just not worth it.
ive been doing it on lihuvim since we have to cd adds
might as well because any actual global ends up being too late
Idk, pretty sure doing the normal opener allows me to get MFD back for the add, and even inside the Shiv window
where do you mfd in your opener on lihuvim
oh you get to cd boss
Yes
i dont
As should you
nah
literally inting if you don't
lol
But it was decent before 4pc, right?
No, it's been shit since day 1 of Venthyr
only our arcane mage is doing more
We don't do it as Venthyr
yeah i agree with cd'ing boss on pull. its way too cringe to hold for an add 40-45s into the fight
Oh a diff Cov does then?
its 30s
but
either way
Well, not really
because they don't play MFD
lol.
its not like i have a choice
you play MFD on Venth because you need to CP for Flag
we barely kill adds with everyone cding
If you use it pre-pull, you don't have it for flag
which kills the purpose of picking it
I was stalling Ready Checks in order to make sure I had MfD up for the rotation
like obviously im gonna lose casts and get a lower parse but at least we can kill 2 adds first set
yeah the most i'm inting myself is going korayn but i'm cd'ing on pull still
i'll hold cd for adds if the locks do
our locks do
everyone does
but after the cringe first hold i can send wherever i want
so its fine mostly
once we have better damage i should be able to do all the slam cd shit i want
nah its super shit, when you send on pull you get it back right after he loses 50%
and then again before 2nd adds
but for now we literally cant kill unless i cd the add
first CoS lol

The within margin gain 
Prog?
for lihuvim ye
i dont think we kill until monday maybe
we should get our reclear in today
at least through xymox and sausage
then pantheon hopefully
Same
We got to p3 on first night of Lihuvim last week iirc
Not many pulls in yet
We killed heroic jailer in like an hr and a half kek
2nd add is easy breezy
The aoe phase is a bit rough I suppose
A bit chaotic
The stack mechanic is cool but if you’re not careful Step will fuck you up
ye
Hard to have sprint for all of them
im probably gonna just start stepping to our monk
Especially when I’m busting sprint to drop notes
because he just transcendences into the rough stack point
Yeah I should step our enhance
Even just for the mini speed boost
I had a couple near misses on it when I tried the push raw
Stuff like this is a bit wrong to say
It’s not inting if the raid team just genuinely needs the damage
You’re there to kill the boss not parse
Does Mastery interact with our 2p
Yeah, of course. If there's no other way to get that damage, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
When vendetta runs out, do I let my bleeds run (almost) out or refresh immediately for pandemic?
yeah let them run
cool. I wasn't and then my brain did a think and figured I should ask because it makes sense I should let them run like we did in previous expansions lol
Yeah. I personally tried pulls where I was using Vend on boss and on the adds, and not only did using it on the adds completely ruin the timers for the rest of the fight, it also wasn't that big of an increase in damage output.
But yeh, doesn't really matter. If that's what it takes to kill the boss, then it is what it is.
yeah its fucky with the schematic
Do we follow Pandemic rules within Vendetta?
so do i keep CT dot up all the time or just in vd window
its fine with me tbh
i blast hard
what keystone level? and how bad was it scaling wise
does sbs get snapshot permanently? 
sorry bro
na im sure it'll get beat later
y'all lucky cev is asleep
I was surprised to see it tbh i played like poopy
asleep and hidden logs
im benched for xy'mox 
sorry bro
just leveled up a survival hunter, had to do quick lfr's before hitting the bed
twas pretty painful
came back just in time for log talk 
damn
lol
im holding the r1 for pantheon for 2-3 weeks secretly
dont want to see cev's
and be disappointed
s.s
not 20k yet, can tell you that much.
@slow marsh desausage log?
me neither lol
getting pretty close though
is assa better or worse after the pantheon nerfs
cause you spend less time in the zoldycks phase right
but you dont even run it anymore
probs won't be getting a 20k kill anytime soon because we start extending this week or the next, not sure yet
i killed once, got r1 and never been there again, but today I'll go on farm
Correct. Assa is definitely worse for it now.
just once?

im not used to saying this but sub is so much easier on that fight that im struggling to motivate myself to swap back
Pantheon is pretty fun
ye, killed one time only
but it was def more fun with the previous hp benchmarks
yuk
anything to make the raid go by easier
Anyways, we just got maintenance in EU
i swear we are so close to disbanding
gn

on it rn
my pc will explode

ik
whats ur best
gn cev
Haven’t played since legion m+ was added, anything op to go for?
12.8 i always seem to die at the end cuz of weird boss placement
stopped working
the trick is to save cloak for the big overlap
yeah that's what i was attempting to do but i misjudged it
not a bad vault at all
whats your best dps on the boss
12.2
how many times have you killed?
is legion timewalking only a week ;-;
yes
in like 4 months yeah
im guessing the answer is no but can you turn the crafted 262 stuff into set pieces ?
ill wait
!cache
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
I think you can
don't see why not
Does the sim account for how strong the axe is ? i have a normal cache but a heroic earthquake trinket and it always shows that one
twice then xD
so the answer is no, you can not upgrade the crafted stuff
What's the move if I gotta do P1-P2 on Xy'mox for CD's?
Shit felt mad awk with Duskies
it's cuz you have normal
Saw my boy iceblades with that R1
it's fake
2 people have me beat in privates
Bless.
i tried for skolex too but idk too many melee
thats my excuse :D
any tips of m sausagelady?
Yeah, but what should I do, it felt real bad lol
Yeah, that's a don't die maneuver.
272 countermeasure or 278 IQD?
sims say its equal for me but iqd is inconsistent
just didnt know if anyone had other opinions about it
lol thanks
it really do be like that though tbh
6 court runs, no ring has been seen so far
it happens
open with ambush or garrote
st nf
9 for me, 1 guy got it and couldnt trade it but also didnt want it
idefk
oh really?
@odd heath whats your sausage parse
98
damn
this is my private gem
thats nice
idk what cev has tho
Gar - snd - ambush
lmfao
im not allowed to play assa on lihuvim
I just went assassin without telling no one lol
i did too
was playing sub everytime
but then they assigned me to the smaller group for adds
and we couldnt kill it
then they go "well only like 4 assa rogues have killed this"
lol
and i just went and changed
I had a similar talk about halondrus
"are u trolling with assa?"
lol
I'll just send it this week
lol
w/e
i did my first few pulls
then went sub
but on reclear im going assa
and im stealing a PI
no fucks given
we killed today
depression does not describe
how bad my ego death was
i am barely a mortal man after that prog
tbh if my sub gear wasn't dogshit compared to my sin gear now i'd be playing sub for lihuvium rn
Are we running dusk on pantheon?
my gear is kinda similar
like 2 or 3 pieces changed
ring/leggo/smth else
or is it still zolds
dusk
zolds is worse on the boss now because of the health nerf
you spend less time in p3 so zolds gains less value
hmm
followup pantheon question, are we running LP over poisoned katar for the same reason that p1/2 lasts longer?
PK is never worth taking anymore
just realized our clear is no warrior buff 
How is your guild this fucking scuffed
All the time
Btw shiv conduit Sims 50 DPS more over the poisons one
you run both bro
Not on nadjia
So is Necro bis more pantheon? That's what I was told
doesnt he play theo
also lp is better any time theres an add
Nah
lp?
lethal poisons
I meant cov
ty. Marileth or bonesmith
sorry you got confused
marileth is probably better since theres a ton of resets but it should be pretty close
@oak sky I have a question for you
Why are you so smart and handsome
@oak sky gl tonight king
Can you wish me gl for vault tomorrow? 
Yes man. What is your wish list 
Uh
I don't actually remember
I spent like 3 hours simming everything
I guess a dagger?
Basically all I need is a sick belt and bis trinkets and we’re gaming

I got mythic xymox neck earlier

bro theres no parsing tonight
Why not
Why 
no warrior
our warriors are both out
“I’m bringing the mage tonight”
dude
im not too attached so im not upset
but some of the timings are making me so sad lmao
gl eu gamers!
literally me
i did exactly what i told @oak sky to try not to do
We had a couple pulls where i tried to greed sending vend on cd on boss 15s before transition and we wiped 😢
and that's with me playing korayn

i honestly might just go necro
RL gives props for fucking adds so i'll take it
so i can just throw vendetta
I thought about it
biggest 🤡 award this week goes to yours truly for dotting up the fucking soak orbs on rygelon

I straight up beat the shit out of them
Dw
no reason to not dot them when you're energy capped with flag running and boss is waltzing over
that votw trinket gonna be bis for us?
no
i inted desausage but it was an accident
triple ring .5 seconds left on debuff thought i was safe on the corner of the map
mechanically super consistent
I really didn’t enjoy Xy’mox as Sin. Did you stay on boss or go over?
Stay boss
I actually really enjoy xymox as sin now
agreon doesn't have add pumpers and i feel bad for him
I suffered, I felt like I lost at least like 3 vendettas just sending that ish into the platform bosses lol
I haven't gotten to play pantheon yet so my opinion should be taken lightly
Idk I think I’m in for tomorrow since that fight isn’t amazing for Rogues.
What ilvl sigil?
