#

ok Im not smart enough for this but lets say super impractical, if I apply rupture 0.1s before euphoria, or during it, the one during euphoria will do more dmg right? 😛

limber lion
#

If that is outside of the Vendetta window, then there is no difference

#

because the rupture updates dynamically

#

the second you get euphoria

#

but if you reapply rupture during Vendetta and while you have Euphoria

drifting cloud
#

oh so in BFA that was only a thing because of exsang on top of it?

limber lion
#

then you would have a bigger Rupture after the reapplication

limber lion
#

All bleeds work dynamically

#

Exsang is the thing that enables the snapshot, same the 4p tierset with Vendetta.

drifting cloud
#

for some reason I thought haste doesnt work dynamically, not sure why

limber lion
#

Definitely does and we even have partial ticks in the game

#

so there are no extra ticks to be had or hard/soft caps in place

drifting cloud
#

you just dont wanna tell us the haste cap for an extra tick ...

limber lion
#

Because there isn't one

drifting cloud
#

the secret scriptures

limber lion
#

because of partial ticks :')

#

if Rupture runs out before it has ticked, it will do a partial tick at removal depending on how much much of the tick was remaining

craggy oak
#

On that note, you might be able to offer some insight here @limber lion. Would haste break points returning be something we would want, would it be good or bad for the game?

limber lion
#

It would just promote degenerate gameplay around gearing and make lives miserable trying to hit a certain breakpoint and gearing around a specific number

#

Get a 20 ilvl upgrade on your ring but you can't use it because it would drop your haste levels below the breakpoint

#

Not great

craggy oak
#

Ye thats a fair point.

limber lion
#

Also I'm personally a fan of consistent growth instead of a sudden spurt in dps because of hitting a breakpoint.

craggy oak
#

I dont really care for the minor upgrades we usually see, outside of getting your double leggo earlier in the tier. And when you get 4p ,they are usually too small to notice until you have a few upgrades

#

I prefer getting an item and seeingg my char stonk because of it, much like gavel, or iqd or some specs.

@limber lion hi, huge fan

limber lion
gusty mirage
#

It’s moderately sized, still can’t catch up to you on heroic shenanigans SAD

thorn fjord
#

Game is annoying.. I'm blasting in heroic and in Mythic im a limp peepee

limber lion
#

is that the game's fault though

gusty mirage
#

yes

thorn fjord
#

YES.. its obviously not my fault

#

no way i could actually be bad

hollow river
#

Indeed it is

limber lion
#

fak

gusty mirage
#

you ever refresh 4pc juiced garrote with a regular one and want to die?

#

which one of yall mfers keeping me from an orange h jailer parse

thorn fjord
#

Or accidently garrote your 2nd prio target with less than 6 seconds left of vend on MT and miss your chance to reaapply garrote

gusty mirage
limber lion
#

just about to smack em

#

i'll drop it for you

gusty mirage
#

whoop his ass for me

#

I got MC'd on my 93 😦

#

Oh no somehow I feel like my internet is gonna go out at raid time

#

But only to blizzard servers

#

Unlucky

gusty mirage
#

play sin on andy

#

trust me

bleak sky
#

Can't

gusty mirage
#

wdym you can't

limber lion
#

@gusty mirage

bleak sky
#

I'll have routing issues tonight

limber lion
#

not bad

gusty mirage
#

they pulled you off the bench

#

you can do whatever you want

gusty mirage
#

wtf

limber lion
#

nah

#

I was super duper externalized

bleak sky
#

Yeah but damn I gotta take my grandma to jiujitsu classes

limber lion
#

for some reason priests just went ham on me

gusty mirage
#

bruh

#

they refused to PI me on jailer

#

they PI'd a marks hunter to beat me by like 800 dps

#

unlucky

limber lion
#

lmaoooooo

gusty mirage
#

I also learned that my 99 on xymox was tainted

#

I got 2 PI's

limber lion
#

rip

gusty mirage
#

didn't even realize it

limber lion
#

I had the same issue earlier on this patch

#

so I got an external weak aura to tell me when I get PI'd

tribal mauve
#

Hey guys What do you think is better for lod prog ? Venth or necro

limber lion
#

doesn't show faeries though for some reason

gusty mirage
tribal mauve
#

Yea i think i’ll go zold

limber lion
#

not sure if I was getting full faeries or just random applications here and there

#

idk

brazen zodiac
#

i was asleep sup

limber lion
#

I kinda want to look into faerie logic and find a way to take full advantage of it

#

but then again

#

I will never, ever get faeries in our main raid

gusty mirage
#

I dislike cdr for one CD as sin

limber lion
#

so does it really matter, why would I bother xd

gusty mirage
#

if it desyncs my shit

#

I go all stupid

limber lion
#

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

#

I had 2 priests using PI and faeries on me at the same time

#

well that's unfortunate

gusty mirage
#

lmfao

limber lion
#

please

#

fucking remove externals

#

pleeeeeeeeeeease

#

so aids

#

profile is forever tainted by fucking

#

14 fucking externals

#

=??????????

gusty mirage
#

at least you didn't pay for them like half of the leaderboard

limber lion
#

yeh, this is a boost run

#

didn't get anything for the first like 2 bosses

#

but after Halondrus they started popping up like crazy

#

like bruh

#

stop it

gusty mirage
#

hunter

#

is such a dumb class

limber lion
#

ya

#

this is honestly such a beautiful spread

#

I hope this remains in 10.0 as well

#

could throw melee out the window though

#

but other than that looks pretty good

gusty mirage
#

unlucky for me

#

also the phasing for jailer

#

where garrote runs out

brazen zodiac
gusty mirage
#

but the cd doesn't refresh during the stun

#

is toxic as fuck

#

coming out of that p3 phase into 3s remaining on my garrote CD still

#

is bad design

#

and they need to fix it

limber lion
#

buuuut it's fine

#

cooldown on garryboi ain't that bad

#

but it's definitely a weird design choice

#

very dumb

gusty mirage
#

almost as dumb as when lod would clear EVERYTHING

#

having to reapply bonespike after every amongus phase was cringe

limber lion
#

LMAO yeah

#

it's not like they don't have the tech when Magrave in Plaguefall doesn't reset debuffs

gusty mirage
#

envenom doing less damage than sbs casts

vast loom
#

whats the string to make a piece of gear 272 ilvl?

gusty mirage
#

,ilevel=272

vast loom
#

ah i did ilvl

#

lol

limber lion
#

okay I'm gonna try out Niya on the next run

#

doing b2b runs

gusty mirage
#

I was thinking of doing some fae shenanigans

limber lion
#

oh I haven't even unlocked everything on her

#

lmao

#

oops

gusty mirage
#

also I'm fully a nadjia enjoyer now

#

keep theo for sub M+

#

no more swapping conduits

#

we're chilling now

bleak sky
#

not a draven m+ enjoyer

gusty mirage

#

you'll come around

#

both of you

limber lion
#

Draven is a mission table character

#

nothing more

gusty mirage
#

he used to fly you around to throw poop on things in korthia

#

just accept his fate

limber lion
#

Night Fae sims 1k less for me

#

LUL

#

this is not a good idea

#

uhm

#

niya

#

bursts

#

so fucking much

subtle tundra
#

whjat does that mean

#

🤨

limber lion
#

big damn

subtle tundra
#

you wanna burst my nuts!

#

ahhhhhhhhh

lilac sparrow
#

are there someone who Nadjia sims better than Theodar? I got 1% better with Theodar but many guys use Nadjia in WCL

limber lion
#

No

#

Theotar sims the best for everyone

#

basically

lilac sparrow
#

almost every high ranked sin for Halondrus use Nadjia

#

Because of heavy movement sucks shade 🙂

#

maybe

turbid harbor
#

If only umbrella man followed you around

potent dagger
#

There is a 100ish dps simming difference for me between Theo and Nadija

zinc frost
glass tulip
#

Theo relies heavily on high shade uptime, so having to move a lot is why people run nadjia instead.

potent dagger
#

i can't quite value the loss when exiting an umbrella proc

gusty mirage
lilac sparrow
#

I want consistency

limber lion
#

then play Nadja 3p

turbid harbor
#

I guess you don’t even need 2 steps after the nerfs

potent dagger
#

Both are inconsistent , like having a Thrillseeker proc on an imune phase XD

turbid harbor
#

Sin probably slaps now

potent dagger
#

But yeah nadija is way more inconsistent on movement

#

@limber lion how much of a dps loss is to have like 80% uptime on umbrella procs ?

#

i got the feeling that going nadija tends to favor gearing toward crit mast

gusty mirage
#

p. sure the umbrella buff is like 600 dps

potent dagger
#

ok

gusty mirage
#

assuming 100% uptime

potent dagger
#

so it's like 120ish dps loss just by going down to 80%

gusty mirage
#

ye which makes it a toss up between the 2

zinc frost
gusty mirage
#

standing on top of one another

zinc frost
#

You’re welcome to follow me around with an umbrella feelsloveman

timid cloud
#

Any day, king.

potent dagger
#

in general

limber lion
#

Yeah because even 80% is quite a bit high

#

and not really possible

potent dagger
#

i meant to be 80% on the umbrella when it's up

hollow escarp
#

that's also very unlikely to happen

potent dagger
#

it's more like a 20-30ish % uptime

limber lion
#

Here's my Umbrella uptime graphs on mythic rygelon

#

Only had one good umbrella

#

every other umbrella was scuffed

vestal wren
limber lion
#

and very unlucky with the umbrella spawns as well on top of that

#

just don't play Theotar

potent dagger
#

yeah i know i'm calculating a baseline with insane uptime to see how much it's worth of a dps loss compared to the sims

limber lion
#

it slaps if you get an umbrella during cds

#

but other than that it's a bit meh

hollow escarp
#

yeah, theo opener is blessed

#

with umbrella

potent dagger
#

But it seems that a RNJesus proc like 5 dices for outlaw 😄

rigid tartan
#

You think nadijia does more on avg on Rygelon? Still progressing it and still on blue orb soak duty

potent dagger
#

But as i see it even with insane uptime of umbrella Nadija is still better

#

i'll just miss my Poison conduit 😢

zinc frost
#

Not much to miss from that

potent dagger
#

Feelcraft mate 😄

glass tulip
hollow escarp
#

ohh well

winter vapor
#

are there fights on heroic where we would consider Theo over nadijia? Xymox, Pantheon, Rygelon, Anduin?

limber lion
#

no

#

none

#

anduin is the only one

#

where it's aight

winter vapor
#

so play around DD on Pantheon, just keep up bleeds on your other targets until the shit hits the fan p3?

limber lion
#

dd?

winter vapor
#

Dauntless Duelists (sp)

limber lion
#

no

#

you play 3p

#

3 potencies

winter vapor
#

right so, switching to 3P when theres more than one target in the encounter? Sorry im being rather thick here...

#

only I asked earlier in the week about DD ever being outsimmed, and the answer was not likely on Patchwerk fights

limber lion
#

Or not even patchwork fights

#

just single target

#

It's fine on Skolex, Dausegne, Jailer, Rygelon

#

but that's about it

#

And HallyD

strange python
#

Damn I thought third potency wasn't strong

limber lion
#

It's not

winter vapor
#

@limber lion thanks for your patience, as always

strange python
#

Even on vigilant, where you have adds but aren't really targeting the adds?

limber lion
#

But neither are the other alternatives

limber lion
#

Yes

strange python
#

Is the extra poison damage better for FoK than the dauntless

#

I mean the adds die instantly

limber lion
#

Yes they do

#

but you still hit them

#

and don't focus on one single target

hollow escarp
#

2 ticks of poison > 0 ticks

strange python
#

Didn't realize dauntless was so minor I guess

limber lion
#

if you don't target swap, you play DD

#

if you do a lot of target swapping, you don't.

#

Also

#

you wouldn't even play Venthyr on Vigilant

#

right

hollow escarp
#

yeah, but swapping for first boss

strange python
#

Our guild doesn't let us change covs once raid night starts unless it's break

#

So Necro for vig means Necro for farm.

limber lion
strange python
#

Not a fan.

#

Regardless. They're at 120 pulls and still p1 jailer. So farm is a few weeks away

hollow escarp
limber lion
#

and then switch to Venthyr after killing the first boss

hollow escarp
#

last week I did pantheon as venthyr on hc PepegaHands

hollow escarp
#

too lazy to swap

limber lion
#

most are doing it as Venth

strange python
#

Honestly this whole raid is unfun

limber lion
#

I disagree wholeheartedly

#

This has been a really good tier with a lot of really good fights

#

Actually a fun tier to play

strange python
#

Surprised to hear that. I've thought almost none of the fights have been fun

#

Halondrus the lone exception

hollow escarp
#

the raid is pretty fun, I just don't like how for some of the later bosses in the tier rogue is not that great

#

I hate Lihuvim just because I had to use cds on protoform OMEGAKEKW

strange python
#

Sorta hit and miss. Rogue is super strong on halondrus, and very good on jailer and rygelon. But it's also booty on lords and anduin

limber lion
#

Rogue is really good on Rygelon and Jailer

#

And Halondrus

strange python
#

I just said that cev! :(

limber lion
#

gg

hollow escarp
#

I might miss rygelon prog pepeHands

#

holiday YEP

strange python
#

Holiday > sepulcher of the trash ones

hollow escarp
#

halondrus was fun, I always enjoyed bosses that took a lot of pulls to kill

autumn gate
#

but sylvanas man was a pain

limber lion
#

you're in for a treat with jailer then :)

autumn gate
#

when you are progressing P3, you have to wait 10 min before P3

#

that was so bad, and then one guy fucked up first arrow

#

and you cry

hollow escarp
#

tank fucking up arrow?

#

i'm not in a top world guild 😄 everything can happen

you can get surprise

hollow river
#

Iirc Cev made some for garrote and rupture

limber lion
#

Yeah, I don't recommend it.

#

It's just unnecessary clutter for something that you don't really need to focus on

hollow river
#

Ye

limber lion
#

Maintaining Garrote/Rupture is a must, maintaining CT is not

#

So seeing CT glow up constantly is just annoying and unnecessary

hollow river
#

Just have to remember that CT pandemic is halved during vendetta

#

But like he said it’s not as do or die as gar/rup

woven ruin
#

They really need to make more classes use daggers or put more on the loot pool, at least for tradeable situations. Ive been getting 1 handers all exp, but daggers are a myth.

ebon notch
#

they should just make daggers have flex stats

#

agi/int

#

except for special daggers such as rygelon

#

or just disable the passive idk

granite widget
#

same could be said for bows

ebon notch
#

uh

#

are there int/strength bows?

graceful locust
#

Quick question, relatively new to assassination rogue, when you get rupture, slice n dice and garrot all procced and are spamming mutilate, what do you spend the dots on if everything is applied on the enemy?

red plaza
#

envenom

woven ruin
#

Enevemon or crimson temp

granite widget
#

no, only hunter use bows

ebon notch
#

you cant increase the loot pool of bows cause only 1 class uses it

bleak sky
#

make ranged dh

#

give it a bow

graceful locust
#

Ahh ok ty, leveled up with Outlaw and switched over to assassination so just getting used to the rotations bearfire

bleak sky

ebon notch

#

Without

Then you'd Envenom

With 4p you'd maintain CT as well

subtle tundra

they really need to remove parry cba

#

parry on jailer is literally the whole room

limber lion
#

yeh it's pretty annoying

#

idk what it serves

But it makes perfect sense that he deflects our attacks skillfully with his ankles.

if you added spell parrying for 1 day

it would be removed

thats quite low already, nice

p3 is getting there

oak sky
#

12% more

subtle tundra
#

after that every pull can be a kill!

oak sky
#

I feel like anduin gets nerfed this week

#

Which means i could miss the kill monkaW

#

We arent even close but big enough nerfs and we might zip through

#

How much of the ilvl 262 gear can you wear? Is it just one total over all slots or can you wear a ring/neck and one leather slot?

drifting cloud
#

only one

Technically you can be full decked out in 262 gear since it drops at end of dungeon 2ez

drifting cloud
#

they cleaned up hof? @limber lion starege Colour 91

#

you werent top100 yesterday right?

hollow river
#

Maybe they removed the bug abusers O:

drifting cloud
#

nah, sales if anything because prolly 50% of kills are bug abusers

oak sky
#

Hof is always everyone that gets it in the last week anyway

drifting cloud
#

well yeah but its not full anymore now agreon

#

so it might not fill up today

#

its 1am eu, so like 4 NA guilds would have to kill

oak sky
#

Damn it would be a big hof then

#

Do eu guilds like get an extra day or smth

#

Seems like it could get weird

drifting cloud
#

extra week

#

atlest im pretty sure as soon as NA reset is (16h?) everyone gets another week

oak sky
#

Yeah

#

Theres a couple guilds that were close

drifting cloud
#

oh well I guess chinese finish their raids before that aswell

oak sky
#

what if like

#

eu fills hof

#

on the last day of their reset

#

but NA is in the next reset alr

drifting cloud
#

it just extends im pretty sure

#

but maybe if some EU raid afternoon

#
  • china + na it might fill in less than 16h, its only 4 spots after all
oak sky
#

hmm

#

does guy's guild raid today

#

they had so many close pulls while i was watching

#

big feels bad if they cant make it

oak sky
#

yeah they like calling me that too

halcyon zealot
sweet dawn
#

Question, why do we get to "max cp-1" for finishers and not just max?

#

Or am I reading it wrong and it's get to max or -1

trim cairn
#

Cuz you don't wanna overflow CP

#

too much, at least

#

Imagine if you have 4 cp you muti and it crits with both hits

#

you get +1cp and 3 cps are wasted

oak sky
spice spire
#

So the tl;dr is Mut overcaps, and seal fate is a thing

sweet dawn
#

Ah oke

#

ty 🙂

#

Just wanted to know if me getting to max was a bad thing

spice spire
#

No, but if you happen to land on 4, it’s fine to just send the finisher

#

Max is always ideal, but overcapping is worse!yejoice

sweet dawn
#

I build to 4/(with DS 5) with muti, garrote and shiv then do a finisher

#

If I get to max though I will finisher before doing another builder

#

obv

oak sky
#

yeah, the whole idea is to not intentionally overcap

spice spire
#

^

oak sky
#

so you never want to mutilate at 4 just to get to 5cp

#

because that always wastes 1

viscid spear
#

@spice spire glomps

hybrid vale
#

i think dat you shiv even at 5 combo points if it comes off cd at that moment

spice spire
#

You do

#

I said it feels bad not “don’t do it”

brazen zodiac
#

uwu

hybrid vale
#

ya but this type of thinking kills young children

#

i forgive u

#

im pumped for the return of shrouded suffocation, i feel it in my bones that it will be in the game

#

10.0

#

it could be an extension of subterfuge even like a side branch or whatever, garrote grants 1 addiitonal combo point when used from stealth, 2 pts for 2 additional cp's

#

why you hiding your logs bro

honestly if you are looking for easy low keys going sub venthyr isnt too bad, you can just stay venth 99% of the time and just storm bp for like 30 min and get some free keys

split grail
#

I don't know sub, I've been playing rogue since '06 and have never played sub. For years sub was just the pvp spec so I never bothered to learn it. I was gonna learn it a few week ago but then sin started pulling ahead again

vast loom
#

sub isnt too bad tbh, ive only been on rogue for like a month or so, sin felt pretty simple until i got 4p but after 4p sin is very engaging, sub is just very straight forward in keys compared to sin, sin requires a lot of micro with multi dotting and shit

Hey! Ive been thinking to pick up my rogue again for M+. But im not the biggest fan of sub. Is sin much behind sub in dungeons?

it is quite behind on aoe and some utility

there are some niche scenarios where garrote silence is very good

Im confused. So I just got my first set slot from the vault. Its 7/12 upgrade. Where do I go to upgrade it further? I went to the creation thing but it doesnt show?

glass tulip
#

there are upgrade vendors in your covenant sanctum or on the left side of oribos next to the pvp vendor

#

depends on what type of item it is but can be upgraded with Honor (pvp) or valor (m+)

Just found it. ty. Assumed it was creation.

@marble hemlock can you explain to me your 3:07 lihuvim kill to me, did you kill schematic then just cleave everything on boss through double DR and kept all acquisitions trapped? logs

subtle tundra
#

you just have omega dps

#

and kill boss fast

#

its not something complicated lol

gusty mirage
#

@marble hemlock I need your advice

#

socket for cos ring or +77 avoidance to my tier pants

marble hemlock
#

i can tell you with 100% certainty, that our plan for that boss at the time was "Pull boss and kill it"

#

we didnt do anything special

#

at least not as far as i remember

violet jackal
#

yea heroic

kindred heron
#

You can use the replay feature of WCL to see what he did

violet jackal
#

It's the shortest kill time by a mile

marble hemlock
kindred heron
#

Also based on his casts he just multidotted then continued to blast boss

marble hemlock
#

yeah we dont really do parse strategies or anything

#

idk if they buffed the boss at some point

#

like its HP or smth

#

but we just killed 1 add and then blasted boss

#

and it died before second synthesis

drifting cloud
#

theres alot of under 3min kills

whoops, I onnly look at necrolord assassination RHkekw

i was checking wclogs

its okay

avoidance ofc

gusty mirage

its not your fault the vault fucked me

you made the right call

#

wdym

#

77avoidance pants sounds amazing

0 dps for 6 slots unlocked

doesn't sound amazing

#

when I'm rocking a 272 valor dagger and a 259 eon still

marble hemlock
#

oh well

#

that sounds like bad RNG

how much is a dagger in oh even

I havent simmed in 2months feels like

don't worry

I guess getting that skolex dagger week 2 was nice (this is a dunk)

#

I've been keeping track of my vault rewards

since the start of the season

I've gotten 14 belts

so its 272 dagger unless I RNG my way into a 278 from vault

very cool

at least valor is uncapped

so now I can have my pick of 272 daggers

I feel you Oxi, I'm still using 2 EON and stuck as sub until I get better 😦

marble hemlock
#

idk its just like

#

this tier isnt really a dps-tight tier

#

weirdly enough

#

rygelon still qualifies, i suppose

#

but the dps checks on smth like halondrus, anduin, lords etc. is just not a thing

glass tulip
#

vault just fucking me pepehands

no helm, dagger, wrists

about to go catalyze for tmog lol

gusty mirage

they gut all the dps checks pretty early

lol

#

and then went through a pissed on the ashes (halondrus)

hybrid vale
#

Healer dam should be important 🫥

bleak sky
#

there are no checks

#

damage doesn't matter

#

stay alive = kill boss

marble hemlock
#

Unless your DPS are complete idiots, you have enough DPS to kill whatever boss you reach by the time you get there

hybrid vale
#

Why aren’t there more outlaws in mythic otl

#

If dps doesn’t matter peepostudy

#

Genuine question.

vestal wren
#

because perception plays a role

marble hemlock
#

Because the amount of lead-paint fumes you need to inhale to actually enjoy playing Outlaw are still only reached in select parts of the US

vestal wren
#

people tent to go the path of least resistance and this means taking classes/specs they assume give them the highest chances to kill a content

hybrid vale
#

Ok

vestal wren
#

also rogue is a 3 spec class, this means specs compete between each other

hybrid vale
#

I see

marble hemlock
#

Just because DPS doesnt matter, doesnt mean that people will actively play the worst spec of choice for their class

vestal wren
#

so, if you play a non standard spec like outlaw that is even tuned weaker you are expected to peform ahead of others

hybrid vale
#

I think ppl do that, maybe ppl don’t want them too tho

#

I mean regardless, there aren’t any fights where a rogue spec is topping meters in tbe current tier, so I feel like now more than ever swapping to the 3k less dps spec wouldn’t be bad

#

Given what you guys are saying

bleak sky
#

yeah let me go ahead and do 3k less damage

#

very pog

marble hemlock
#

Whether you lose 3k dps on a destro/demolock or a rogue, its still 3k dps less for your raid

hybrid vale
#

Well maybe when content goes on farm peeposhrug

vestal wren
#

guilds don't want to kill bosses with "we should be able to kill it with this amount of dps"

#

but rather take a higher amount to have more room of error

marble hemlock
vestal wren
#

so it makes total sense to play what is tuned better

marble hemlock
#

Choosing to play Outlaw in progress would constitute being a complete idiot.

vestal wren
#

the entire argument of "damage does not matter" just means that people should focus on playing mechanics

#

because a dead dps does no damage and makes killing the boss harder

hybrid vale
#

Progress as in bosses you’ve never killed or only killed once or twice

vestal wren
#

than a dps that loses 300 dps because he plays mechanics

hybrid vale
#

Doesn’t change much then

#

Still do as much dmg as u can

bleak sky
#

well yeah lol

marble hemlock
#

I mean, is your goal to rekill a boss as fast as possible to get back to actual progress, or do you prefer wiping to a fight because suddenly that add you were pushing 2mil damage on as assa doesnt die cause you only do 750k as outlaw?

bleak sky
#

as opposed to what? not doing as much damage as you can while focusing on mechanics?

#

that's raiding

marble hemlock
#

Not getting the bis item out of vault wont be the reason you wipe to a boss

hybrid vale
crimson smelt
bleak sky
#

who cares

#

just go fast to get it over with

hybrid vale
#

Ya pew pew

vestal wren
#

i don't agree with "most play the best possible"

marble hemlock
#

Lead poisoning causes brain damage, which is a fundamental requirement for playing Outlaw in Progress atm

bleak sky
hybrid vale
#

Rogue discord education

#

For me anyway

vestal wren
#

because else we would have seen less diverity in raid compositions, reality is people stay within their class but optimize to a certain degree

marble hemlock
vestal wren
#

playing what is best would mean also re-rolling to non rogue if rogue is not best in a tier, yes

#

if you did not reroll, you logically don't play what is best

marble hemlock
#

Youre moving goalposts, the discussion is about inter-class spec choices

#

Please dont do the thing you always do by trying to chime in on a discussion about a specific topic and trying to make your argument fit by expanding the scope of the discussion

crimson smelt
#

I'm all for buffing OL and I thought your posts about OL needing buffs were nice and witty. But I can't agree with the lead poisoning requirement

marble hemlock
#

This isnt about rerolling vs not rerolling

hybrid vale
vestal wren
#

huh

marble hemlock
#

Its about why no one plays Outlaw instead of Assa/Sub despite not "needing" to play it

#

If you were to play Outlaw, would you play the best talent-setup, or just whatever is most fun?

#

Its the same basic idea, why play whats best when you can just "have fun". But most people would still read up on whats "best" and pick that choice.

#

Because people raiding in progress-oriented guilds tend to want to perform to the best of their ability, and that includes playing the "right" spec

vestal wren
#

for most players performance is their metric for fun

marble hemlock
#

Yeah definitely. Especially when we're talking about guilds that actually wanna progress and are progressing on the fights we cited (Mythic Hal/Anduin/Lords/Rygelon)

subtle tundra
#

glizzy

hybrid vale
#

Do people care about their performance relative to their spec, their class or amongst all classes and specs

#

Interesting to know

marble hemlock
#

Class

vestal wren
#

people always stay within their bubble of the class

#

this is why seli was so outraged that i mentioned that his notion of "people do play whats best" was not entirely correct

#

because he assumed the baseline is that we stay within the bubble

marble hemlock
#

You have to keep in mind that Rogue is the only multi-dps-spec class where the spec-choice has very little impact on their overall performance. Fundamentally all Roguespecs do the same. Their damage profiles are largely the same, their damage output is largely the same in every scenario, so you end up with like a 10-20% difference (at most) between the 3 rogue specs.

That is not the case for basically any other DPS class in the game

bleak sky
#

fuu

#

why would the default be rerolling

#

instead of playing what's best within your own spec

vestal wren
#

it wouldn't be

marble hemlock
#

No, I was outraged because you started the same stupid "then why dont you reroll if you wanna play whats best" argument, as if thats in any way the same as pressing the "switch spec" button

vestal wren
#

i mean, just recently assassination was also still seen as inting

marble hemlock
#

This isnt a theoretical exercise. This is people actually playing the game, where swapping specs is as easy as pressing a button and having a 5 second casttime, where rerolling is a multi-week effort of grinding gear and spending dozens of hours to get to a similar itemlevel

hybrid vale
#

Is that why assa rogues always wanna sit out on Andy

#

Cause they don’t wanna be judged on that performance

marble hemlock
#

Idk, I did great as Assa on Anduin

#

And I had shit gear

strange python
#

I did only one key this week assuming I'd get no upgrades (only neck and helm would be an upgrade) so I could get a socket. Andddddd I got the neck

hybrid vale
#

I just always see ppl mentioning that in here

bleak sky
#

they're all shit

strange python
bleak sky
#

sub "funnel" is pathetic on anduin, no real cds, does dog damage

marble hemlock
#

Rogues are the only class that are hard-stuck on playing a single spec within their class as much as we are. For basically every other class, thats not really a thing

strange python
#

Also anduin isn't super fun for the types of things rogues like to do

marble hemlock
#

Our Warlocks and Mages played all 3 specs this tier. So did our Hunters.

vestal wren
strange python
marble hemlock
#

Mages and Warlocks are often at the mercy of the balancing and tuning of blizz to decide what spec they play. Rogues often had the choice between at least 2

vestal wren
#

rogue has the problem of having multiple specs do similar things

marble hemlock
#

Warlcoks historically swapped specs based on whether they were required to pump st or cleave or aoe

hybrid vale
#

I thought rogues issue is that they don’t bring a lot to the raid

strange python
#

I was expected to have outlaw ready for slg, for example

marble hemlock
#

And anyone still hardcoping that sub does more dam on Anduin to the boss than Assa, is just dreaming

hybrid vale
#

Fuus wowhead guide says rogue weakness is its reliant on the playball of dps tuning

strange python
vestal wren
#

they do

strange python
#

Warriors will always have a spot forever because of shout

#

We don't have that

#

The only reason to bring a rogue is damage

#

And if our damage isn't good, we sit

tidal gorge
#

Come on now, we bring trash skips. That's amazing. 🙄

vestal wren
#

rogue has a solid toolkit but if you look to replace a dps spec, rogue is a easy choice

strange python
#

Not in this raid

#

Every pack has true sight

#

Rogue and Hunter are the two most easily replaced classes because we have no unique buffs, but hunters are ranged.

vestal wren
#

we had rogue as mandatory class in legion the last time

#

and raid design changed after that

hybrid vale
#

Wait doesn’t hunter have a pet buff with one of the pet specs

wild hill
#

Hey rogues I need macro for assa that open to me vandeta and blood fury ]
and sepsis
can someone help me with this i dont understand with macros

hybrid vale
#

Maybe removed

vestal wren
#

also as mentioned, the rogue specs don't provide unique damage pattern or benefits

#

you can easy exchange any of the specs with the other one if tuning is more in the favour

marble hemlock
#

You bring rogue for singletarget damage. And it doesnt even do that better than other classes. Which rogue spec you bring for that specific damage pattern, is decided based on blizzards tuning. You never bring rogue for anything but singletarget

hybrid vale
#

Are more fights designed in a way that you need a mixture of melee and ranged dps in mythic 9.2

#

For mechanic soakin etc

bleak sky
#

what soaking

hybrid vale
#

I dunno I haven’t done my mythic research yet. I’ve only just completed heroic

marble hemlock
#

You're not like a Warlock who plays Destro on Anduin cause you can push omega-damage on the boss+monstrous soul at the same time, or play demo on halondrus becuase its pure ST and you can build massive tyrants there without issue or affli on pantheon because you can perma dot 4+ targets and top the meters on each of those fights because your specs are specificall tailored around those damage patterns

#

Rogue just hits the boss

vestal wren
#

subtlety had funnel damage to its advantage and short "burst" cycles in legion

#

but both is gone from the toolkit

marble hemlock
#

Sometimes Outlaw hits a bit harder than Assa, sometimes Sub hits harder than both, sometimes Assa hits harder. But never by more than 5-10%, typically

vestal wren
#

funnel is still there to a degree, but rather mediocre compared

bleak sky
#

they're not even decent anymore on pantheon

marble hemlock
#

Yeah well, the other 2 WL specs still blast on pantheon so its whatever

#

Affli was only good for like week 1 anyway

bleak sky
#

true truee

marble hemlock
#

But thats what matters the most

vestal wren
#

i mean, wl is just too strong atm

#

so compared to wl, you will find most specs/classes to be not great

marble hemlock
#

When people still dont have a lot of gear, being able to swap specs to fit a certain type of fight is of huge benefit

#

Just 1 week later with everyone having 3-4ilvl more, that might not be a necessity anymore, or even the best choice

#

But yeah regarding Anduin, dunno why people started this narrative that Assa sucks there, and that Sub is the play, just cause you can funnel for like all of 5 seconds before all the adds are dead to a boomie or destro anyway

subtle tundra
#

imo sub was better cause you can do dps

#

when you need

#

not like assa

#

whereas

marble hemlock
#

Dps on what?

subtle tundra
#

you can only do dmg on cds/no aoe/if you use cds inside on the big guy you dont get full value

#

and thats literally all the dmg on you need for prog

marble hemlock
#

Both suck inside Kingsmourne. Both suck on Reflections (Although Assa is better there), both do very good damage on remnant (with Assa doing more) and the only advantage is that sub can hold damage for the monstrous soul, but it comes at crazy high cost

hollow river
#

I mean all rogue specs suck there

subtle tundra
#

not dps increase

#

phase

marble hemlock
#

Cause if you hold dam for monstrous soul burst, you do negative dam on remnant

subtle tundra
#

the one where you go down

marble hemlock
#

Yeah

#

Sub sucks balls there

subtle tundra
#

it doesnt

hollow river
#

What

bleak sky
#

it kinda sucks

kindred heron
hollow river
#

It has to be better than assa there

subtle tundra
#

i literally progg'd as sub

marble hemlock
#

Idk, if I struggled with Kingsmourne, Rogue would literally be the last class I would send down there to try help fix it

subtle tundra
#

i mean

#

we're comparing rogue

#

specs

bleak sky
#

same

subtle tundra
#

not classes

marble hemlock
#

Youre comparing catpoop to dogpoop

native belfry
marble hemlock
#

Yeah, Sub is slightly better in kingsmourne than Assa

#

But its still shit

subtle tundra
#

yea

#

but
