deathly is popular for sub

gusty mirage
#

Don’t get me wrong zold is boring as fuck

vestal wren
#

well popular is a overstatement

gusty mirage
#

And even more so when you think about how it does nothing for 70% of the boss’s health

civic trellis
#

I got burnt from sub tbh

vestal wren
#

fair

civic trellis
#

You know, when you are "forced" to play a spec during progress is kinda meh

#

Is zold also used in panth?

vestal wren
#

sub was only a "must play" up to the point you had 4p

#

what was tbh not fast to optain

charred finch
#

sorry for this question, im new, but can u put mutilate ambush in same keybind? so when im stealth i use ambush, when im not use mutilate? or is a mistake?

gusty mirage
#

!ambush

prisma monolithBOT
#

Macroing Ambush to Mutilate only works with the use of a addon.
It comes with the downside that it often requires multiple key presss.
Suggested addon to use(Gnome Sequencer):http://tiny.cc/mxb6tz

gusty mirage
#

Wouldn’t recommend it, but the tech is there

gusty mirage
civic trellis
#

ah okayy

#

The point of using dust in lords I guess it was to reapply garrotes

gusty mirage
#

Yeah I could see it being used for that

#

But tbh our damage is so irrelevant in the grand scheme of things on lords

#

It’s kind of like whatever

echo geyser
#

max rogue log like 25k

gusty mirage
#

But the idea behind it is to get 2 shivs per swarm

echo geyser
#

while other classes 40k

gusty mirage
#

Yeah

civic trellis
gusty mirage
#

We’re just there to be a warm body that doesn’t mess up mechanics

echo geyser
#

numbing poison kermit_pepe

civic trellis
#

so

echo geyser
#

yeah it doesnt work there

gusty mirage
#

I guess iron wire isn’t terrible for swarm either

#

Free DR is DR

civic trellis
#

KEKW

echo geyser
#

yeah

zinc frost
charred finch
#

mhhh i dont understand the bot answer, should i use same keybind?

hollow river
#

Screw em

civic trellis
gusty mirage
#

You can with the addon

#

But you end up pressing the button twice anyway

echo geyser
gusty mirage
#

To get it work sometimes

echo geyser
#

yeah

charred finch
#

is automatic

echo geyser
#

stealthbar u mean?

charred finch
#

yes

hollow river
#

Lol

echo geyser
#

i dont know if u want to

#

i dont have the knowledge

hollow river
#

Why would you want to press ambush anyway

#

We need Mutilte to crit during MA

weak plover
#

If you shiv two targets does it stack or do you just chain the shiv casts?

civic trellis
#

shiv affects both targets if you mean that

hollow river
#

Shiv is aoe with tier set

charred finch
echo geyser
#

!mut

prisma monolithBOT
#

Ambush is currently only used with non-venthyr builds using subterfuge
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3) and it's interaction with Flagellation.
You also have to consider the additional poison application chances. Ambush is not considerably worse or better in any situation, so you aren't losing out on much if you don't use it.

hollow river
gusty mirage
charred finch
#

no night fae

spice spire
#

Then ambush is better

gusty mirage
#

Then you’d want to ambush

spice spire
#

Does more damage

echo geyser
charred finch
#

so becouse subterfuge i need 2 keybind

gusty mirage
#

Mutilate from stealth is just a venthyr thing right now

charred finch
#

or stealth bar change it

#

understand

gusty mirage
#

Yeah what I recommend doing is turning off action bar paging, and just using 1 bar

vestal wren
#

you could use modifiers

gusty mirage
#

And then make a bind for ambush

vestal wren
#

change the macro to

#

this should work

/cast [bonusbar:1] Mut
/cast Ambush
/cast Mut```
#

i haven't tested it tho

weak plover
gusty mirage
#

Just send it on cd

hollow river
#

You kinda want shiv in the target you’re hitting

#

For poison procs doing more damage

#

And envenoms

#

The nature dmg amp is still ST

charred finch
vestal wren
#

yes

#

i assumed that was the idea

weak plover
#

Does it extend it do you wait for it to fall off before shiv again?

vestal wren
#

to mut in stealth, ambush for BS procs

#

if you want to have it more dynamic, you need to have 2 buttons

charred finch
#

yes yes, i ll learn with 2 buttons 🙂

gusty mirage
#

But honestly feel free to just send it on cd or wait for the first to expire

#

Your choice, either way its more dps

Is Sin okay for keys around 15s? Like I'm not gonna get booted as soon as they see what spec I am? I want to get more reps in with Sin but I cba to pug heroic

gusty mirage
#

Dude rolled up with like 150c worth of shit and casually goes “I found this”

strange python
#

Sin is okay for keys through like 23s

#

Just play Necro.

gusty mirage
hollow river
#

You might get booted like

#

Every now and then

#

Shouldn’t happen a lot tho

gusty mirage
#

It’s okay I get booted every now and then playing sub

#

Just rogue problems KEKW

hollow river
#

LOL

#

I’ve never been booted 😈

strange python
#

I usually offer to go sub and play venth for the halls and sanguine keys

gusty mirage

“Sorry man we’re gonna go double destro”

#

Tf am I gonna say

Pugged a couple 24s yesterday as Sin. Yanks my trunk

#

I'm usually a Sub main, but I'm getting a little bored of it, and I've seen that Sin is actually popping off - and that it's DPS is much more consistent because sins whole tier set isn't rng like subs

strange python
#

I have never seen a destro lock do more than 15k and it triggers me

gusty mirage
#

I already started practicing my arrogant call out for PI

zinc frost
#

Yeah otherwise you just won’t do dmg without PI right??

gusty mirage
#

Correct

#

PI me on CD always

vestal wren
#

infuse me with power and throw faerie at me pls

viscid spear
#

l-lewd

violet jackal
#

I'm blessed to be in a guild and receive both prayge

vestal wren
#

both is actually good on sin, one more reason to play it over sub

viscid spear
#

I don't even know who gets PI in ours, maybe Quake knows

gusty mirage
#

Meanwhile everyone else is in the 30s and 40s

vestal wren
gusty mirage
#

I could literally go into lords playing a pistol shot only build

#

And it won’t change a thing

vestal wren
#

it is all about raid design

#

i do think certain fights are not super well designed

ebon notch
#

and my "homies" in RH chattin shit behind my back

#

unbelievable

vestal wren
#

but also all rogue specs are fairly low on "burst"

ebon notch
#

im gonna stay on jailer for the rest of my life

You kill soon and you’re free

#

Oh yeah he was there

spice spire
#

Ruptured literally answered lel

#

And when he isn’t there the MM hunter gets it

#

I’d sell my soul for a warrior rn tho

gusty mirage
#

If by some act of god you have no locks or hunters?

viscid spear
#

Then no one gets PI

gusty mirage
#

Don’t worry, the frost DK or the mage will get it

bleak sky

#

Frost dk or one of us ig

#

Not mage

#

NOT THE FROST MAGE

It’s even weirder getting faeries cast on you, it threw me off when I got it once

spice spire
#

I got faeries one night

#

It definitely flows weirdly

viscid spear
#

No warning or anything, just bam you got Faeries

zinc frost
#

I think you could make it work if you got it consistently and timed things properly but.. I don’t like it

gusty mirage
#

I got PI in a key playing sub

#

I messaged them and asked them to stop

#

And they wouldn’t

spice spire
gusty mirage

I did a log review of a guy who cast shiv 11 times in 9 minutes and 42s

#

And he cast flag 5 times total

We fixed em up tho

He’s good to go

He’s gonna crank and I’m already proud of him

I can identify 3 of those high procs with damaging a healing add, and a couple off of firing bone spikes at friendlies in the sus phase, but the rest is lost to me

scenic nacelle
#

the shade that spawns is also a possibility

violet jackal
#

bone spike ticks from his raid members

#

if they never get healed to full the spike never gets removed 🤯

violet jackal
#

yes

tight ginkgo
#

Amazing.

fleet anchor
#

PvP rules may not work correctly

#

Carver's Eye would seem hard to make work otherwise since it requires being at high health

violet jackal
#

Lay on Hand would of of removed it

fleet anchor
#

Seems like it doesn't really go away until the next Among Us phase

#

Actually never mind

#

Just not being counted as friendly fire then

#

Probably only immunities removing it

#

Seems like a pretty tiny amount of damage, may be worth it idk

muted ridge
fleet anchor
#

Definitely ticking for less than normal

sour wraith
#

It's always fun having someone in raid asking what sbs is and why it never dropped off of them

fleet anchor
#

Honestly not sure why it's basically doing half damage

#

The DoT spell itself doesn't have a PvP modifier on it

#

Not sure about that one

#

But whatever lol

#

Pretty cheeky way to get ridiculous Carver's Eye uptime though 😛

tight ginkgo
#

Yeah looks like divine shield immuned it off the paladin. Nutty.

fleet anchor
#

If it was doing full damage I could see healers maybe being a bit meh about it but with these tiny ticks it seems pretty inconsequential unless you put in literally the whole raid haha

#

But it's still like 400 DTPS per target so I would probably not do this on prog or w/e 😛

#

But for some farm kill it seems relatively "safe" considering

shell kettle
#

omegabrain

#

so just spike tanks and like one other guy and get free ticks and cp

oblique wasp
#

yo bois, so I was wondering if you think Season 4 of Shadowlands will look more favourably to Assassination spec or if I will have to stay Subtlety for the throughput?

violet jackal
#

I'm pretty sure assassination has more "throughput"

burnt latch
#

Idk edge of nights kinda slap on sub

#

Theyre good for sin but not as good

#

Might impact the balance quite a bit

violet jackal
#

even with your edge of nights, subtlely was last place of the rogues during sanctum of domination

burnt latch
#

what

#

on what metric?

oblique wasp
burnt latch
#

yeah but these stats are with domination shards

#

where outlaw and assasination gained massive bonuses from frost set

#

and subs gain from blood was average

#

if you look at damage from last patch without shards, sub was ahead of outlaw and assa by quite a bit

#

on aoe and st

oblique wasp
#

so one way or another, Season 3 is definitely Subtlety and next season as well?

burnt latch
#

S3 u can make the case for assa in some keys

#

next patch I wouldnt speculate too much untill tuning comes out, but just by how assa works its hard to see it becoming THE rogue spec for m+ in Shadowlands

#

ideally u play all 3 specs depending on what the group needs

bleak sky
#

open up parses
40 externals

burnt latch
#

i mean assa and outlaw were def good last tier even without externals

#

but if I was going into Sanctum prog

#

with knowing how the tier went

#

I wouldnt make the argument that Sub is the worst spec out of the 3 specs

bleak sky
#

outlaw def the worst

#

sin best

burnt latch
#

yeah

bleak sky
#

sub second best

burnt latch
#

debatable, I think sin and sub were equal

bleak sky
#

perhaps

burnt latch
#

sub was better on some bosses and sin on others

gaunt finch
#

Sin was better, people just saw a few too many parses and forgot how reliable sin is

vestal wren
#

The main thing that did hold assassination back was tier set

burnt latch
#

we arent talking about this tier

vestal wren
#

also perception to a degree as a consequence of tier set aquisition problems

burnt latch
#

talking about last tier

vestal wren
#

all 3 specs ended up about equal, sub might had a better perception due to higher impact from daggers

#

and the frost set was buggy for quite some time

#

so once the frost set was fixed, sin did come back as a valid option

burnt latch
#

I dont think I'd play Outlaw on any boss on prog if SoD prog started right now all over again and I had the benefit of hindsight

vestal wren
#

all 3 specs did end up fairly strong in the last raid

#

it was well balanced

#

the first tier was probably the worse of the 3

violet jackal
#

It's ok I know 2 rogues who played outlaw on progression and reclears still performed coolpanda

vestal wren
#

with assassination fairly undertuned and sub/outlaw not that great either
and after tuning just assassination as dominant option

burnt latch
#

I'm not saying Outlaw wasn't good or viable, it was very good. I just dont think it was the correct choice on prog on any boss

#

possibly Nine?

vestal wren
#

outlaw was early on fairly popular after people realized that sub wasn't that great

#

outlaw was up to the point of sin getting buffed to be the top spec the dominant spec

#

if we talk about very early on, sub had more players during the first weeks simply because it was assumed good

burnt latch
#

which patch are you talking about

#

S1 i assume

vestal wren
#

castle nathria

white gull
#

why arent more ppl switching bk to assas?

burnt latch
#

yeah

vestal wren
#

because it is overall better

bleak sky
#

and sin isn't as easy to play this patch

vestal wren
#

it is about equal on most fights

#

and can shine on lords

#

on top of that, sin gets more externals

#

what also somewhat contributes to a better position in the wcl statistic

bleak sky
#

sub parses were also juiced up by the end of CN

fleet anchor
#

All specs were close to equal in SoD honestly.

burnt latch
#

every spec in the game had

vestal wren
#

i am actually surprised that sin has still a fariyl low representation in this patch

fleet anchor
#

Sub wasn’t close to Assassination in CN 9.0.5 buffs

oblique wasp
#

alright, I see ... so it is safe to assume that sin and sub are let's say on similar standing?

vestal wren
#

both are atm strong in raiding

oblique wasp
#

because I don't know, but assa T4 and T2 are like ... T H I C C

violet jackal
fleet anchor
#

But Sub with max ilevel daggers and set bonuses is likely to be pretty strong tbh. Assassination will gain less from that by a fair bit.

#

But we will see

vestal wren
#

mechagon rings might have impact too in season 4, if we change to that

fleet anchor
#

Assassination is hard to predict due to the way haste from gear affects the value of certain talents and such

oblique wasp
fleet anchor
#

But Sylv daggers are honestly just gonna do massive damage just on their own

oblique wasp
#

but I don't want ot be shooting myself in leg

fleet anchor
#

Which means Sub will fly out early either way

#

Just grabbing them on the vendor

#

Similarly to how strong Sub was at the start of this tier

vestal wren
#

sylvanas dagger is ironically also what keeps sub/sin in this season close

fleet anchor
#

I mean it’s not always a good thing. Sometimes it is. It’s more just unpredictable lol

vestal wren
#

the tier set contributes to the unpredictability

fleet anchor
#

Haste has funny influences on Assassination talent and effect valuation

#

But Assassination will probably be solid anyway

vestal wren
#

even outlaw could end up decent

fleet anchor
#

Possible although I’m less optimistic

#

Their set bonus is still very weak

#

Daggers will still help them a bit but

#

Idk how they really will keep up with the other two specs

vestal wren
#

yes, its likely that it ends up behind relatively seen

tired falcon
vestal wren
#

it is just relative hard to have a complete picture

#

some other classes also get powerful items, but rogue with sylvanas dagger gets probably one very strong option

oblique wasp
#

so now I am even more undecisive than ever 😄

vestal wren
#

what decision do you try to make, what you want to play in the next season?

oblique wasp
#

yes

vestal wren
#

i would go for the fun factor in that case

violet jackal
#

^

vestal wren
#

keep in mind that balancing can happen too

violet jackal
#

@oblique wasp are you top 10 world raiding or pushing +30 keys?

vestal wren
#

we saw pvp trinket tuning for example

#

in preperation for s4

oblique wasp
violet jackal
#

then your choice isn't going to affect the playability of those goals

oblique wasp

@subtle tundra any thoughts an going nelf assa for m+ to gain some utility/cc? or kinda senseless?

lmao what

#

thats so weird

#

how have they killed

ebon notch
#

idk how else to describe it

burnt latch
#

previous bosses

ebon notch
#

i really dont

subtle tundra
#

after like 200 pulls p1-p2 should be done blindfolded

burnt latch
#

sylv is longer lmao

ebon notch
#

i asked about sylvanas

#

and its cause p2 nothing really happens

#

sure you can die

#

and fall off

#

but your chance of wiping the entire raid is really low

burnt latch
#

403 PULLS???

#

jesus christ

#

i didnt realise its that much

gusty mirage

sylv was longer, but sylv also had some breaks

tacit otter
burnt latch
#

how do you pull a boss 400 times and still dont understand how it dies KEKL

#

thats madness

gusty mirage
ebon notch
#

because everyone is relying

#

on the fucking boss being bugged

#

and just falling over

#

they arent prepped for p4

#

so when we dont bug it (even though we never have) they're suddenly like

#

"oh shit whats going on wtf"

scarlet sequoia
#

anyone else boost jailer today

gusty mirage
#

Daps will you hold me and tell me everything will be okay when I'm wiping on jailer

i cant imagine being on week 3 progress of jailer either

ebon notch
#

so it doesnt deplete

scarlet sequoia
#

it must be kinda rough

ebon notch
#

i do the same thing where i cloak so i dont die from any of the rogue swirlies

#

its not a huge loss

muted ridge
#

Yeah it's really safe cloak there and next cloak you get for 3rd intermission

#

2nd you have to sadly run out

#

But ty for answer

#

c;

burnt latch
#

is there a chance that u guys will pull the bossie 500 times

#

is it that far off

#

or nah

#

boosting vel doesnt count rae

that would be hilarious

dont know who that is

#

people at that level can't fathom that other guilds aren't as competent as theirs

#

the rest of us peasants aren't worthy

shy dust
#

I mean jailer is heavily nerfed

#

300 should be around where it’s at

gusty mirage
#

unfortunately they don't nerf the stupid

#

which is why a lot of bosses take hundreds of extra pulls

scarlet sequoia
#

what is there to fuck up tho

#

at this point

gusty mirage
#

a lot of things

#

wdym

#

you think everyone in the top 500 is a gamer?

burnt latch
#

ye ngl think jailer is probably the hardest end boss of this tier so far for the people that have reached it

gusty mirage
#

less than 600 guilds have killed anduin

burnt latch
#

will see how bad it gets nerfed but its not tuned for top 500 guilds atm

gusty mirage
#

like

#

you think those people still struggling on andy will kill jailer in "300 pulls max"?

burnt latch
#

I think currently its tuned really hard even for guilds in the 200-ish ranks

kindred heron
#

This feels targeted

gusty mirage
burnt latch
#

you know what would be interesting data

#

to check how the guilds that killed anduin heroic first week did

gusty mirage
#

true

burnt latch
#

like in a grand scheme of things

#

cuz that boss was fucking hard for a heroic boss week 1

drifting cloud
#

im 35% on jailer, didnt kill anduin 1st week

subtle tundra
#

we didnt kill it first week either

#

killed jailer last week

i cant remember how many kills there were in the first reset but surely it wouldnt have been much higher than 100

drifting cloud
#

100 sounds about right

gusty mirage
#

I believe it was less than 110

#

somewhere around 95-105 range

ebon notch
#

if you are a top 150 guild jailer is a 250-300 pull boss

#

even if you do not bugg it

burnt latch
#

yeah my thinking is that it probably correlates pretty well to the guilds that got HoF

ebon notch
#

p4 is not hard

subtle tundra
#

with bug

#

we had 350+

shy dust
#

That’s just y’all being bad

ebon notch
#

it shouldnt be that long

burnt latch
#

like i wouldnt be too far off if I claimed 95% guilds that killed Anduin week 1 also got HOF

#

I think

drifting cloud
#

average around 300 or even slightly below sounds about right

ebon notch
#

@subtle tundra you guys also just choked

#

how many sub 10% wipes did you have in the last 2 weeks of prog

subtle tundra
#

ok no need to say that

ebon notch
#

im not flaming

#

but its true

#

you guys did choke

subtle tundra
#

yes

#

but it hurts

ebon notch
#

bro

#

i know

subtle tundra
#

cause we had so many kill pulls

ebon notch
#

lmao

drifting cloud
#

im at 130 wipes now 35%, I dont even know is that decent or normal

subtle tundra
#

🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
#

so it's great

ebon notch
#

and you kill

fleet anchor
#

Jailer is probably still a 300+ pull boss for people affected by the Anduin nerf

gaunt finch
#

So if it took you 500+ pulls on jailer you shouldnt be HOF then?

fleet anchor
#

Might even be worse tbh

gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

well if jailer took you 500+ and you werent top20 guild then yeah you probably raid alot starege

gusty mirage
#

the nerf didn't even do anything for my guild

scarlet sequoia
#

anyone who gets hof after 100 guilds have killed it shouldnt be hof

gusty mirage
#

all I did was switch my CD usage lol

#

from the adds to anduin

#

because they melted

ebon notch
fleet anchor
#

The Anduin nerf honesty wasn’t very big

ebon notch
#

what

gusty mirage
#

yea

#

if people NEEDED that, rygelon might do them in

fleet anchor
#

Compared to the Halondrus dumpster

gaunt finch
subtle tundra
fleet anchor
#

Which still has left tons of guilds stuck on Anduin

subtle tundra
#

halondrus was literally just people adjusting bomb timers cause we were used to pre-nerf

gusty mirage
#

idk what else they nerf without just completely gutting the fight

fleet anchor
#

Anduin is a punishing technical fight regardless of numbers and Jailer is likely worse for guilds stuck on it

subtle tundra
#

now... how do i convince my gm to get folyr in for jailer...

vital haven
#

bruh we had like 3 2% wipes on jailer yday

#

i wanna die

fleet anchor
#

Jailer will almost certainly see more nerfs

gusty mirage
#

or kill your existing monk

#

and say you need the monk debuff

subtle tundra
#

"dps doesnt matter, ill do mechanics NO CAP, on god, shit's lit, transcendence"

fleet anchor
#

Tuning this raid is very extreme especially since basically everyone has been BiSish for weeks and weeks

gaunt finch
#

If they take the aoe off of blasphemy for anduin those guilds will recover and the fight will still be challenging

fleet anchor
#

There’s not really much soft improvements to be found at this point

gusty mirage
burnt latch
#

is blasphemy an issue for guilds?

#

like THE issue

ebon notch
gusty mirage
gaunt finch
#

For the guilds still on it? Yeah

gusty mirage
#

lemme show you my old guild's pulls from last night

fleet anchor
#

Any upgrades guilds need drop after Anduin anyway 😛

burnt latch
#

hmm thats interesting

#

since its essentially the same mechanic as heroic

gusty mirage
#

those were pulls 204-231

gaunt finch
#

If you have a few players with high blasphemy death rates they just wipe pulls endlessly

gaunt finch
#

If it doesnt aoe you wont wipe every time to just one

burnt latch
#

thats so strange to me

#

I wouldve thought

#

that later guilds would have more issues with controlling adds

#

when ppl get sent down

gusty mirage
#

yeah we had that too

#

lol

fleet anchor
#

I mean imo the real issue with Anduin is the fight is so damn long. You have to split your raid constantly. It requires very specific CC setups and timing to interrupt the Lost Souls. Lots of strict positioning. It’s just a very technical fight that is also a good 3 minutes too long. lol

gaunt finch
#

Yeah but on pull#400 its definitely blasphemy

gusty mirage
#

once people get used to blasphemy they have to figure out timing for kingsmourne

obtuse robin
#

while having multiple 20 man wide personal raid wipe mechanics

gusty mirage
#

it's a lot for people

#

and a lot of it is the pressure of not being the one that causes the wipe

#

so you overthink shit and end up dying

burnt latch
#

I wasnt in on anduin but iirc like a vast majority of wipes were to upstairs / downstairs control

fleet anchor
#

Anduin could have been an end boss. No joke tbh.

gusty mirage
#

p sure it was

burnt latch
#

and hardly any blashemphy fiestas

gaunt finch
gusty mirage
#

our blasphemy fiestas died after like 70 pulls

fleet anchor
#

The complexity is far beyond any mid tier boss I can remember

gusty mirage
#

and any hiccups were just stomped out with the extra time from the nerf

burnt latch
fleet anchor
#

There’s definitely incremental wipe reasons the more pulls you get

burnt latch
#

i think we had like 155 or sth

gaunt finch
burnt latch
#

yeah im not saying they dont, just said that I find that interesting. thought the issues higher end guilds would have would be similar to lower end guilds, but just in larger quantities

drifting cloud
#

youre better off comparing time in combat

#

than actual wipe number

#

for anduin

hollow river
#

There’s too many fights this tier that 2 person insta wipes the raid

#

It’s ridiculous

fleet anchor
#

Blasphemy > Lost Soul explosions > Too low energy > Big add exploders > Fear casts > P2 Lost Soul explosions > P3 Blasphemy clears

#

The 7 stages of pain on Anduin 😄

burnt latch
#

I also thought fear adds would be an issue for a lot of guilds

#

interesting how that hasnt snowballed into a hard mechanic

dark crag
#

Wait until some guild stumbles upon anduins secret mythic phase, blizz forgot to remove

fleet anchor
#

The biggest thing the nerf did was make the fear adds less scary

gaunt finch
#

The thing is, given enough pulls any guild can learn strategy, but if you have a few suspect players sometimes they can never learn to do 1 deadly movement mechanic

fleet anchor
#

1 less person having to dodge mechanics plus less HP

burnt latch
#

since most ppl that only raid log in lower end guilds are absolutely horrible with CC and interrupts from my personal experience haaha

fleet anchor
#

Made them far less scary

burnt latch
#

yeah fair

fleet anchor
#

Probably the most impact of the nerfs was easing P2

#

But it’s still tricky

#

Does require a lot of CC for both casters and Lost Souls and it’s quite a bit to coordinate

#

Rygelon by comparison is still hard but not quite in the overwhelmingly technical way. At least the fight itself is fairly straightforward (ish)

burnt latch
#

Unpopular take probably but I thought rygelon was way harder output and mechanics wise than halondrus

fleet anchor
#

You can mostly see the whole fight in your first night. Then it’s just about getting better. Anduin takes many raids to even see parts of it.

burnt latch
#

At the point where I killed it atleast

fleet anchor
#

Halondrus imo after the first nerfs wasn’t that aggressive for output checks for higher end M guilds

burnt latch
#

Well not really output as the dps check was pretty lenient but hps wise

timid cloud
#

Hey, random question. If I’m getting fairies in the lich king phase for a second vendetta, I find that it’s really close to the end of the phase & I don’t think I’m getting full value on it. Do I just send the vendetta or do I line it up for higher value? For mitico prog.

fleet anchor
#

Was mostly bombs

gaunt finch
burnt latch
#

Yeah tbh I only had like 50 pulls on the boss before they made it so that bombs dont explode from tank beams or spinny things

gaunt finch
#

Well there it is xd

burnt latch
#

So i didnt kill it in the original state

#

But dont recall rygelon nerfs

#

Maybe it did get nerfed

gaunt finch
#

They happened like last week

fleet anchor
#

Rygelon nerfs happened with the Anduin ones a couple weeks ago

burnt latch
#

Okay so thats probably why, i killed a heavily nerfed crab and a 0 nerf ryge

drifting cloud
#

is getting 2 bombs in a row on jailer common or is it some charid bullshit again?

#

I get it like every 3 pulls

fleet anchor
#

Rygelon got a 5% HP nerf and a few other things to make some mechanics a bit easier

burnt latch
#

Wait they nerfed his hp?

fleet anchor
#

Which seems mostly fair

drifting cloud
#

rygelon got deleted last week or two weeks ago whenever the nerfs were

fleet anchor
#

[With realm restarts] Rygelon’s health has been reduced by 5% in Mythic difficulty.
[With realm restarts] Collapsing Quasar Fields now last 8 seconds (was 6 seconds) in Mythic difficulty.
[With realm restarts] Dark Collapse damage has been reduced by 25% in Mythic difficulty.
[With realm restarts] Unstable Quasar radius reduced by 25%, and damage reduced by 20% in Mythic difficulty.
[With realm restarts] Cosmic Ejection damage-over-time reduced by 33% in Mythic difficulty.

drifting cloud
#

thsoe changes reduce the wipe count in half

#

for sure

burnt latch
#

Thats probably not gonna affect anything because u still have to play the last phase right? Or does this make it so that you could kill the boss like right after last intermission

#

Seems like a strange nerf

#

Dps check was very lenient i felt like

fleet anchor
#

Means you can limp more with a death I suppose.

burnt latch
#

But that boss doesnt have many singular deaths tho

fleet anchor
#

Quasar change makes the timing a lot less awful though

burnt latch
#

Usually everyone dies

#

Oh thats cool

gaunt finch
#

The %usually means you can limp through a few late deaths or missing a quasar on last set

drifting cloud
#

missing a quasar? lmao what

fleet anchor
#

Funny enough

#

We were trying some stuff

#

Most of the raid can actually survive one missed Quasar with a rally if they are topped 😛

#

Rally OP

radiant osprey

so should i always use crimson tempest over poison bomb in mythics?

What’s the reason assassination is better for externals than the other specs?

zinc frost
#

Assa rogue loves haste

obtuse robin
#

and ven is strong so faster ven = more gooder

flint pond
#

is it because of the energy regen?

#

and I'm assuming it won't be as good if you go necro then ye?

obtuse robin
#

cuz or tier scales with haste

#

etc

zinc frost
#

Energy regen, damage over time, attack speed all juicy things for us

flint pond
#

appreciate it

pallid pewter
#

im sure its pinned somewhere but can someone remind me are sharpening stone best or is it shadow core oil ?

zinc frost
#

!oil

prisma monolithBOT
#

Using consumables will increase your damage, however the difference between oil/stone/potion combinations are very minor (within 0.5% of each other). You can sim the difference for yourself by pasting this pastebin underneath your /simc input, in the "advanced sim" section of raidbots: https://pastebin.com/Lbxc7afJ

pallid pewter
#

ggs thanks a lot lad

fading wigeon
obtuse robin

I mean it's also because Haste is basically Sub's worst stat considering they are already GCD capped during Shadow Dance

im stuck on anduin for at least 2 raid days i think

gusty mirage
#

I send you faith and good juju my friend

oak sky
#

i have no faith

fleet anchor
#

Anduin is truly the worst. Sending positive vibes. lol

oak sky
#

im mostly just bored

#

we wipe to the same people over and over

fleet anchor
#

It really is boring if you know what you're doing and waiting for the others in the raid

oak sky
#

comp changes every day

fleet anchor
#

Because the fight is both super complex

#

But also quite predictable

#

Once you learn it you kinda have it on lock

#

There's really very little RNG to the fight at all

#

But the learning curve for everything on the fight is kinda brutal.. and 1-2 people who don't know what's up can wipe the raid

gusty mirage
#

then my kick/stun assignment on fear adds kept swapping

#

anduin was rough on my mental lol

gusty mirage
balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

I've blocked out all of Prismatic

#

and castle nathria

fleet anchor
#

I stayed Sub the whole time because cba to rely on anyone else to CC bot P2 adds 😛

#

Actually would have liked to play Assassination

gusty mirage
#

assassination is actually so good for anduin

#

if your job is just damage

#

it's a no brainer

fleet anchor
#

If it weren't for the P2 adds and me having no trust about losing the stuns I'd have swapped

#

We were so ahead on damage it really didn't matter though

gusty mirage
#

ye I was asked to swap sub so I could help burst down 3rd monstrosity & putting prey on all the fear adds

fleet anchor
#

Considering we pushed out of second intermission early at 10%

gusty mirage
#

I was a sad boy

fleet anchor
#

it's kinda w/e

#

Did swap to Assassination for Lords and stayed for Rygelon

#

Feels pretty good but that's also because I get to play my favorite Necro 😄

#

Did a solid 22k on Lords. That was actually a really fun fight for Assassination even if I did pathetic damage compared to green parsing Hunters... RIP

#

SV is busted

gusty mirage
#

ngl

#

all lords did

#

was infuriate me with the sbs CP bug

#

like how the fuck is a cleaved SBS 1 cp

#

HOW

fleet anchor
#

lol I thought they had fixed that and then realized

#

nope

gusty mirage
#

I found a weird work around

#

I opened gar x2 ambush -> snd

#

let distance grow

#

then spiked

#

and then I got 2cp

#

lol

fleet anchor
#

Like technically SBS is never supposed to give 1 CP ever

#

even on 1T lol

gusty mirage
#

the sbs bug

#

pissed me off

#

every single pull

fleet anchor
#

I do enjoy the 100% Kevin uptime on Rygelon

gusty mirage
#

I just swapped back venthyr

#

every 1cp bone spike I cast kills my will to log on

fleet anchor
#

I mean I don't even care about the CP at this point, for Rygelon it's more just about perma Kevin debuff since you get so many double refunds

gusty mirage
#

I do

#

I expect a multi billion dollar game developer to fix their game

fleet anchor
#

Fair

gusty mirage
#

but yeah I agree, I remember from heroic and normal

necro felt so damn good

you could probably go in playing a pistol shot only build

and it wouldn't matter

Gotta love the class balance

gusty mirage

oh oh oh oh

#

I wanna check mine now

echo geyser

yeah i was pulled in from bench cause i wasnt expecting it

killed in 2 pulls

gusty mirage
ebon notch

i remember

Getting beat by MM mains just mongo smashing bombs for the first time

Whenever we kill

fleet anchor

Makes me sad

oak sky

Its gonna be dogshit hunter danage

fleet anchor

When I literally have a 91% parse

echo geyser
#

oh yeah i also played dusk which made it harder

oak sky
#

Good frost dk damage

echo geyser
#

i was totally unaware

fleet anchor
#

Class balance right now is so bad

#

Lords is literally almost as perfect of an Assassination fight as you could come up with

echo geyser
#

if only there wasnt a dmg amp phase right

fleet anchor
#

And still get stomped

oak sky
#

i mean idk assassination i think is better pure st than cleave rn

ebon notch
fleet anchor
ebon notch
#

we'd destroy that boss

oak sky

the set is weirdge

Actually absurd

echo geyser
#

what if

#

top loggers on lords

#

are not baiting as melee

gusty mirage
bleak sky
#

they can't int that hard

#

just to parse

drifting cloud
#

gratz @gusty mirage keep pumping

echo geyser
#

hows there such a big diff

bleak sky
#

survival procs I guess?

echo geyser
#

where the dmg coming from

#

no i mean sin rogue

bleak sky
#

oh sin

echo geyser
#

crit in storm phase?

#

big?

bleak sky
#

54% heirmir gamers

#

idk how gemstone windows line up

gusty mirage
#

I mean its roughly every minute ye?

bleak sky
#

but they shouldn't line with amp windows right?

gusty mirage
#

should line up pretty well

bleak sky
#

yeah but you get one on pulll

#

and first swarm is not a minute in, is it?

fleet anchor
#

I mean I feel like the gain from not baiting would be so small

#

Maybe running out last second but like

#

All you lose is AA damage for a few seconds

#

Really not gonna make a big difference on Lords

drifting cloud
#

kill timer is probably quite big there aswell, if boss dies during that last amp or 30s later

#

when you basically are doing tank dmg as assa for last 30s

gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

first swarm is 50s

bleak sky
#

I guess you can have gemstone for every one then?

drifting cloud
#

thats why dusk kinda sucks

bleak sky
#

maybe?

drifting cloud
#

because its not back by then

fleet anchor
#

Gemstone aligns kinda funky

gusty mirage
#

ye

#

it's the same shit with dusk

For me it was up for 1

Start of 2

None of 3

Probably Kevin is better on Lords if you aren’t getting some good Carver’s Eye usage but I’m not totally sure.

Complicated to figure that one out

@bleak sky i noticed my sbs dmg is lower and i dont understand why
