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
oh so in BFA that was only a thing because of exsang on top of it?
then you would have a bigger Rupture after the reapplication
Yes, Exsang was the only thing snapshotting haste for us
All bleeds work dynamically
Exsang is the thing that enables the snapshot, same the 4p tierset with Vendetta.
for some reason I thought haste doesnt work dynamically, not sure why
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
you just dont wanna tell us the haste cap for an extra tick ...
Because there isn't one
the secret scriptures
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
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?
No, we do not want that. The game mechanics working dynamically is much better for the game.
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
Ye thats a fair point.
Also I'm personally a fan of consistent growth instead of a sudden spurt in dps because of hitting a breakpoint.
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
woah it's oxi :O my intel told me you have a massive hog, can you confirm?
It’s moderately sized, still can’t catch up to you on heroic shenanigans 
Game is annoying.. I'm blasting in heroic and in Mythic im a limp peepee
yes
Indeed it is
fak
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
Or accidently garrote your 2nd prio target with less than 6 seconds left of vend on MT and miss your chance to reaapply garrote

just about to smack em
i'll drop it for you
it's a heroic kek

!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'll hop in and turn your purple into a blue
unlucky, you play sub now loser
go enjoy your "funnel"
nerd
Oh no somehow I feel like my internet is gonna go out at raid time
But only to blizzard servers
Unlucky
Can't
wdym you can't
I'll have routing issues tonight
not bad
Yeah but damn I gotta take my grandma to jiujitsu classes
for some reason priests just went ham on me
bruh
they refused to PI me on jailer
they PI'd a marks hunter to beat me by like 800 dps
unlucky
lmaoooooo
rip
I had the same issue earlier on this patch
so I got an external weak aura to tell me when I get PI'd
Hey guys What do you think is better for lod prog ? Venth or necro
doesn't show faeries though for some reason
Necro all the way
faeries is weird tho
Yea i think i’ll go zold
Yeah I just sent Vendetta on CD honestly when I noticed that I was getting faeries
not sure if I was getting full faeries or just random applications here and there
idk
i was asleep sup
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
I dislike cdr for one CD as sin
so does it really matter, why would I bother xd
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
I had 2 priests using PI and faeries on me at the same time
well that's unfortunate
lmfao
please
fucking remove externals
pleeeeeeeeeeease
so aids
profile is forever tainted by fucking
14 fucking externals
=??????????
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

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
lul
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
Ya, I just reapply Rup/Gar 1-2s before it phases
buuuut it's fine
cooldown on garryboi ain't that bad
but it's definitely a weird design choice
very dumb
almost as dumb as when lod would clear EVERYTHING
having to reapply bonespike after every amongus phase was cringe
LMAO yeah
it's not like they don't have the tech when Magrave in Plaguefall doesn't reset debuffs
envenom doing less damage than sbs casts
whats the string to make a piece of gear 272 ilvl?
I was thinking of doing some fae shenanigans

also I'm fully a nadjia enjoyer now
keep theo for sub M+
no more swapping conduits
we're chilling now
stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop
Night Fae sims 1k less for me
LUL
this is not a good idea
uhm
niya
bursts
so fucking much
big damn
are there someone who Nadjia sims better than Theodar? I got 1% better with Theodar but many guys use Nadjia in WCL
almost every high ranked sin for Halondrus use Nadjia
Because of heavy movement sucks shade 🙂
maybe
If only umbrella man followed you around
There is a 100ish dps simming difference for me between Theo and Nadija
He has legs, he just refuses to use them
Theo relies heavily on high shade uptime, so having to move a lot is why people run nadjia instead.
yes
i can't quite value the loss when exiting an umbrella proc
umbrella men*
I want consistency
then play Nadja 3p
I guess you don’t even need 2 steps after the nerfs
Both are inconsistent , like having a Thrillseeker proc on an imune phase XD
Sin probably slaps now
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
p. sure the umbrella buff is like 600 dps
ok
assuming 100% uptime
so it's like 120ish dps loss just by going down to 80%
ye which makes it a toss up between the 2
I’m listening..
You’re welcome to follow me around with an umbrella 
omw
Any day, king.
which fight you thinking about
in general
i meant to be 80% on the umbrella when it's up
that's also very unlikely to happen
it's more like a 20-30ish % uptime
Yes even then it's wayyy too high
Here's my Umbrella uptime graphs on mythic rygelon
Only had one good umbrella
every other umbrella was scuffed

and very unlucky with the umbrella spawns as well on top of that
just don't play Theotar
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
But it seems that a RNJesus proc like 5 dices for outlaw 😄
You think nadijia does more on avg on Rygelon? Still progressing it and still on blue orb soak duty
But as i see it even with insane uptime of umbrella Nadija is still better
i'll just miss my Poison conduit 😢
Not much to miss from that
Feelcraft mate 😄
yes
You mean when you hit Rygelon, umbrella instantly appears and then he moves so you get no shade? 
ohh well
are there fights on heroic where we would consider Theo over nadijia? Xymox, Pantheon, Rygelon, Anduin?
so play around DD on Pantheon, just keep up bleeds on your other targets until the shit hits the fan p3?
dd?
Dauntless Duelists (sp)
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
Yes, on single target patchwork fights you would play Dauntless Duelist
Or not even patchwork fights
just single target
It's fine on Skolex, Dausegne, Jailer, Rygelon
but that's about it
And HallyD
Damn I thought third potency wasn't strong
It's not
@limber lion thanks for your patience, as always
Even on vigilant, where you have adds but aren't really targeting the adds?
But neither are the other alternatives
Where you have dozens of adds constantly spawning and which you are constantly setting up bleeds on?
Yes
Is the extra poison damage better for FoK than the dauntless
I mean the adds die instantly
2 ticks of poison > 0 ticks
Didn't realize dauntless was so minor I guess
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
yeah, but swapping for first boss
Our guild doesn't let us change covs once raid night starts unless it's break
So Necro for vig means Necro for farm.
Second*
lol.
that's kinda cringe
Not a fan.
Regardless. They're at 120 pulls and still p1 jailer. So farm is a few weeks away
I log off as venthyr 
Yes, but you would start the raid as necro
and then switch to Venthyr after killing the first boss

last week I did pantheon as venthyr on hc 
It's a pretty rough boss
that's fine
too lazy to swap
most are doing it as Venth
I'm not in on it, but already not excited for farm
Honestly this whole raid is unfun
I disagree wholeheartedly
This has been a really good tier with a lot of really good fights
Actually a fun tier to play
Surprised to hear that. I've thought almost none of the fights have been fun
Halondrus the lone exception
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 
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

Rogue is really good on Rygelon and Jailer
And Halondrus
I just said that cev! :(
gg
Holiday > sepulcher of the trash ones
halondrus was fun, I always enjoyed bosses that took a lot of pulls to kill
yeah when it's a short time
but sylvanas man was a pain
you're in for a treat with jailer then :)
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
im 16.2 with theo
and then almost 200 from ring?
im "theoretically" very close
but in the real world im not
Giga
found you some secret hidden gains

a little sinful gain
Lol
PI
little scheming
a lil cheating lil trolling
i was wondering HAHA
I was like what?
although i managed to gain 1-1.1k dps from it
hidden PI tech
unethical (cops called) ((ceverion banned me from RH))
1k gain
nvm i had a sub conduit in so maybe not 1k gains
can't be that unethical
hey you have to move sometimes ok?
gotta go take a shit mid bossfight
on god
they should add pandemic on PI, it feels awful without
Or stacks duration

So true bro
does anyone have a crimson tempest WA with pandemic glow for when vendetta is applied and when it is not?
stack it with faerie 
I think ceverion has a plater profile with it and afenar ui has it iirc but not sure
Assassination WA's:
https://wago.io/SJLQKGjMM (Afenar's Group)
https://wago.io/ByzCxPq-m (Devlin's Group)
I don’t think anyone made one for CT specifically for the 4 piece vendetta effect
Iirc Cev made some for garrote and rupture
Yeah, I don't recommend it.
It's just unnecessary clutter for something that you don't really need to focus on
Ye
Maintaining Garrote/Rupture is a must, maintaining CT is not
So seeing CT glow up constantly is just annoying and unnecessary
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
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.
they should just make daggers have flex stats
agi/int
except for special daggers such as rygelon
or just disable the passive idk
same could be said for bows
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?
envenom
Enevemon or crimson temp
no, only hunter use bows
so how is it the same as daggers
you cant increase the loot pool of bows cause only 1 class uses it
Ahh ok ty, leveled up with Outlaw and switched over to assassination so just getting used to the rotations 
With or without 4p?
not edgy enough
Without
weapon tokens
im only lvl 50
pogpog
i wasnt responding to you, was saying agi daggers are like hunter bows in that only one class can use them
Wanted to create a pvp alt and I had fun in bfa playing outlaw rogue while leveling so thought id go assassin and shank people
yes but flexing the stats you could theoretically increase the number of dagger drops
unless you were simply agreeing to the post i was responding to
I was not responding to you
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
like it wouldnt even be a question
Isn’t that just spell resistance
is that a thing in modern wow
Just face his butt man
like, i have to be in front of boss for azeroth heals
already on azeroth soaks 
wat
wat
we're at p3
idk
they happen in every phase lol
oh, I havent watched jailer since the race
🤷
and I thought you guys just started jailer like a couple days ago
so assumed giga speedy prog to p3
Day 2 of waiting for Cev’s secret lords tech 
its not that easy brotherman
its a very hard boss
oh I am fully aware of how many mechanics and heavily position based it is
we are starting anduin tomorrow, already buckled up for 250+
wdym just hit boss
he parries with his cack

no cap that ass can fart
what was your best pull so far
22%
thats quite low already, nice
p3 is getting there
12% more
after that every pull can be a kill!

I feel like anduin gets nerfed this week
Which means i could miss the kill 
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?
only one
yes
ty
Technically you can be full decked out in 262 gear since it drops at end of dungeon 
Maybe they removed the bug abusers O:
nah, sales if anything because prolly 50% of kills are bug abusers
Hof is always everyone that gets it in the last week anyway
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
Damn it would be a big hof then
Do eu guilds like get an extra day or smth
Seems like it could get weird
extra week
atlest im pretty sure as soon as NA reset is (16h?) everyone gets another week
oh well I guess chinese finish their raids before that aswell
what if like
eu fills hof
on the last day of their reset
but NA is in the next reset alr
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
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
yeah they like calling me that too
they do
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
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
yes, max or -1
Seal fate is a real thing we have to deal with. Even shivving and +2ing at 4 without DS feels bad
So the tl;dr is Mut overcaps, and seal fate is a thing
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!
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
yeah, the whole idea is to not intentionally overcap
^
@spice spire glomps
dats a slippery slope
i think dat you shiv even at 5 combo points if it comes off cd at that moment
uwu
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

So today/tomorrow?
wednesday ram
reset
wtf officers and gms are actually bullying assa rogues
did you see my officers joined earlier just to question my lifestyle choices
you already have a good sin set
what more do you have to change

???
No theyre 262
Yeah but what does it change if i wont spend the valor on them
wait what

you're confusing me ram
Go to bed 
pls
is that a euphemism
it was multi layered yes
Naw, it's an EUphemism.
ban yourself from irl

wait ur a chick right
theres no girls on the internet
None
definitely not bro
Where's this coming from? 
shitposting
Except when I make terrible puns
yeah that's when you sleep outside

you’re still a pumper to me
its okay im just a pub stomper
no mythic parsing but 99.9 normal and 99.7 heroic
400 kills so far
5-set 
managed to get the cache trinket in raid last night, what's the rules regarding assassination on its use?
!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
400? jesus fuck
boosting
its op
i didnt even boost a huge amount in SoD
I ended sod with 394, but I only started boosting it in December
lol
I dont wanna go sub for mythic andy 
Just get benched and live the good life like me
bring the player not the class? 
Rather take a second blood dk than a fucking rogue
Im tanking when our main tank is gone cause Im most replacable
les go
my monk alt might have more prog than my rogue
So m+...Necro Marileth best?
or venth theotar
Which is easier? I hate m+ so whatever is easier is for me
the one you think is more fun
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
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
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
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jqoVrh593YwbuDYhhpFS2J we hath made it to the 15k sims now i just gotta actaully do it in a fight 🙂
we're actually trying to come up with something for consistency so this doesn't happen
gz 🙂
DUe to their respective strengh is it worth to go double use trinkets ? i've always tended to avoid it , but since the nerf of the Phial
Better to sim what you got but phial still really good. Double on use I use for anduin, guardian etc with cache/sigil
Just sim it and do what the sim tells you to do
Ok 😉
Any new usage for cache? Herodamage says cache is bis for sin ST
Cache of Acquired Treasures usage:
Axe is always the strongest weapon.
Note: The Weapon rotates every 12 seconds in the order Sword -> Axe -> Wand
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
but better on single target
there are some niche scenarios where garrote silence is very good
Sigil is better
Cache was over simming
It was updated 2 weeks ago, when Cache was still oversimming by alot
Usually I advice people to either use HeroDamage or nothing at all, but Bloodmallet has good updated charts so you can take a look there
i can ask aethys to re-run trinkets
Does the bleed from the axe in the cache get affected by the tier bonus when vendetta is active?
no
What do you mean by this?
Who is we
What is being consistencized
What is happening
Good luck on your boxes today friends 🙂
Sadge, I miss 8.3 assa with expedient 😦
8.0 > everything else for M+
Didn't play remotely competitive pre 8.1 so wouldn't know
I miss legion 😦
You said something about you and your gm’s prices being different because y’all ran a discount or something

Ah, trying to standardize prices
Yeah without communities to set the price floors things have been iffy
Because some buyers haggle but we don’t want them to tell others they got it cheaper for example
Supply and demand baby, this is my bread and butter
zoldyck for mythic pantheon? or we never use it
😦 thinkin about going sub….. cries
why
Tired of getting spanked in m+ 😦
Duskwalkers for pantheon is best if you are comfortable with it - Zoldyck is being used on Lords but that’s it
isn't your job to blow up the boss, not the trash?
if your goal is to do the most overall you might as well reroll
Do I have some news for you
You’ll get spanked in m+ as sub too
Reminds me of tbc Classic where the other crafters get angry when you don’t charge obscene prices for rare enchants like the enchanting community agreed upon
I’m against that tho
Is it weird that my top dmg is often attack on single target
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?
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? 
what kill
heroic?
@marble hemlock I need your advice
socket for cos ring or +77 avoidance to my tier pants
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
yea heroic
You can use the replay feature of WCL to see what he did
It's the shortest kill time by a mile

Also based on his casts he just multidotted then continued to blast boss
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
its not 😛
theres alot of under 3min kills
ye
whoops, I onnly look at necrolord assassination 
sorry oxi
and most of them are 1month old when guilds still did hc as a guild run

i was checking wclogs
its okay
avoidance ofc
its not your fault the vault fucked me
0 dps for 6 slots unlocked
doesn't sound amazing
when I'm rocking a 272 valor dagger and a 259 eon still
dog I'm trying to get a mh dagger
yeah im fairly sure theres lots of much faster kills. we just had good DPS at that point and so the boss died before 2nd schematic
but we didnt do anything special, my guild never does
sorry I wasnt trying to dunk on you
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
just do it like dk and i did
not the belt daddy
get rygelon dagger on firstkill
!fuu
Fuus Shadowlands evaluation Spreadsheet: http://tiny.cc/uxr1tz
I got lords gloves im not getting dagger
yeah I'll just wait until the end of June to get my rygelon dagger
ez
and no more reclears
so its 272 dagger unless I RNG my way into a 278 from vault
very cool
i have at least one more for you
I feel you Oxi, I'm still using 2 EON and stuck as sub until I get better 😦
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
vault just fucking me 
no helm, dagger, wrists
trinket
about to go catalyze for tmog lol
well yeah
they gut all the dps checks pretty early
lol
and then went through a pissed on the ashes (halondrus)
Does that mean healers don’t really need to do dam these days
Healer dam should be important 🫥
Unless your DPS are complete idiots, you have enough DPS to kill whatever boss you reach by the time you get there
because perception plays a role
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
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
Ok
also rogue is a 3 spec class, this means specs compete between each other
I see
Just because DPS doesnt matter, doesnt mean that people will actively play the worst spec of choice for their class
so, if you play a non standard spec like outlaw that is even tuned weaker you are expected to peform ahead of others
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

Whether you lose 3k dps on a destro/demolock or a rogue, its still 3k dps less for your raid
Well maybe when content goes on farm 
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
You missed the first part of what I wrote there
so it makes total sense to play what is tuned better
Choosing to play Outlaw in progress would constitute being a complete idiot.
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
Progress as in bosses you’ve never killed or only killed once or twice
than a dps that loses 300 dps because he plays mechanics
Yeah I see
Doesn’t change much then
Still do as much dmg as u can
well yeah lol
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?
as opposed to what? not doing as much damage as you can while focusing on mechanics?
that's raiding
No, the entire argument rests on the notion that people play whats "best" in most cases anyway, and having a DPS die at 20% boss HP typically wont suddenly make you not meet the enrage timer anymore
Not getting the bis item out of vault wont be the reason you wipe to a boss
Healers can do more or less dmg depending on talent choices or gear choices which may come at cost if output or their survivabilitly but on some dps checks, historically making that trade is worth. But if no dps check you don’t need to do that
I find fault with your analagy. Lead toxicity would slow you down which is more akin to sin playstyle, not OL. Speed works better for OL 😄
healers will do dps on farm
who cares
just go fast to get it over with
Ya pew pew
i don't agree with "most play the best possible"
Lead poisoning causes brain damage, which is a fundamental requirement for playing Outlaw in Progress atm
most playing at a decent mythic level will play the best possible
because else we would have seen less diverity in raid compositions, reality is people stay within their class but optimize to a certain degree
Or I just like to have fun.
so.......playing what's best
Whether or not you agree doesnt matter for the sake of the argument that most progress-oriented guilds will have certain expectations for their raiders to not purposefully int their raid
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
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
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
This isnt about rerolling vs not rerolling
I had that argument here awhile ago, they don’t like it
huh
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
for most players performance is their metric for fun
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)
glizzy
Do people care about their performance relative to their spec, their class or amongst all classes and specs
Interesting to know
Class
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
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
fuu
why would the default be rerolling
instead of playing what's best within your own spec
it wouldn't be
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
i mean, just recently assassination was also still seen as inting
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
Is that why assa rogues always wanna sit out on Andy
Cause they don’t wanna be judged on that performance
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
I just always see ppl mentioning that in here
all rogues want to sit on anduin
they're all shit
Not as much about being judged or willfully sitting, it's more that rogue is just bad at anduin. If you have any other classes, it's usually better.
sub "funnel" is pathetic on anduin, no real cds, does dog damage
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
Also anduin isn't super fun for the types of things rogues like to do
Our Warlocks and Mages played all 3 specs this tier. So did our Hunters.
it isn't, the default is to just play the best spec of a class and it also means that single dps spec classes get judged diffrently
I'm expected to play all three tbh. I'm always surprised to hear that people get away with one tricking
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
rogue has the problem of having multiple specs do similar things
Warlcoks historically swapped specs based on whether they were required to pump st or cleave or aoe
I thought rogues issue is that they don’t bring a lot to the raid
I was expected to have outlaw ready for slg, for example
And anyone still hardcoping that sub does more dam on Anduin to the boss than Assa, is just dreaming
Fuus wowhead guide says rogue weakness is its reliant on the playball of dps tuning
Rogue has a LOT of issues. We bring mediocre damage, no utility, are melee. As a result we're not in demand relative to any other class
they do
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
Come on now, we bring trash skips. That's amazing. 🙄
rogue has a solid toolkit but if you look to replace a dps spec, rogue is a easy choice
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.
we had rogue as mandatory class in legion the last time
and raid design changed after that
Wait doesn’t hunter have a pet buff with one of the pet specs
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
Maybe removed
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
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
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
what soaking
I dunno I haven’t done my mythic research yet. I’ve only just completed heroic
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
subtlety had funnel damage to its advantage and short "burst" cycles in legion
but both is gone from the toolkit
rip affliction
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
funnel is still there to a degree, but rather mediocre compared
they're not even decent anymore on pantheon
Yeah well, the other 2 WL specs still blast on pantheon so its whatever
Affli was only good for like week 1 anyway
true truee
But thats what matters the most
i mean, wl is just too strong atm
so compared to wl, you will find most specs/classes to be not great
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
Dps on what?
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
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
Cause if you hold dam for monstrous soul burst, you do negative dam on remnant
the one where you go down
it doesnt
What
it kinda sucks
You probably wouldn’t want to macro vendetta and sepsis because they won’t perfectly align, and you’ll often be pressing them 30~ sec apart. To make a macro for blood fury and vendetta, make a new macro and just click and drag both the spells in! In the end it should look like /cast Vendetta /cast Blood Fury (Racial)
It has to be better than assa there
i literally progg'd as sub
Idk, if I struggled with Kingsmourne, Rogue would literally be the last class I would send down there to try help fix it
same
not classes
Youre comparing catpoop to dogpoop
Just let us cry here that rogue sucks
