doubt thats very different than other seasons
s3, 15 out of top 120 are NA
There's usually some person that does a chart that shows how many keys are ran a week during a season
Yee
Can I sim dslice for keys or should I sim some other way
Yes, you can.
ty
Mainly for gearing aspects. Not for actual expected overall.
heard
pressing Evis is still more funnel, right?
like am I pressing Evis still on first pull of CoT
even if it's like 5 targets?
or just BP?
if you're playing trickster it's definitely more funnel
why do some of the lines just stop halfway through like S2 DF
no clue
guess we will all farm the ring now that they made the base item level so high
i might not have enough time to get it before raid if the gems aren't easy to get
would feel bad if my guild decides to do a reclear and don't have the ring
first week is whatever
its like 0.3% dps
but it goes up in power level after
item level carries it
20 sub rogues really going to put a dent in their numbers.
we are the 0.00001%
maybe a bit more, because the legendary gem implementation migth make it stronger baseline
gotcha
eleem was saying the buffs werent on ptr yet. surely they dont just merge again and have to emergency hotfix

hell yea
Ring seems to be about equally strong on all 3, interesting
Hello guys, maybe someone can help me, im almost new on wow and i leveling a sub rogue for playing it PVP, my friend give me some gold to buy gear, when i reach 80 is there any gear i can buy with gold that will help me?
how much gold?
Like 200k
Do we know which gems are the best?
buy crappy greens/blues at 561 ilvl to get you started -> farm random bgs to get honor to craft pvp gear
save that 200k to buy enchants
and gems
if you want it for PVP, just do battle grounds, areans, etc get some conquest and honor gear
if you want PVE gear, you can buy some starting greens from auction house and get started with those. but better gear will come from harder pve cntent
!ring
its in #tc-research
Where can I see what these do
wowhead should have it
pin has all the links
the description of gems
Well I just want to do pvp, but i want to gear properly and if there are better items that i can buy with gold would be nice
Like dragonflight i know there were some items that could be crafted with professions
^^
i also updated the disclaimer^^ ring is now def. worth it
Thank you again lol
you could still craft some items for pvp to get started with for sure. but a few BG spams and you can get full honor gear and go from there + crafte
nice nice! ty 
At least it was before the patch came out
So the ring will be good?
Lol
thats fair
Yeah, bis
it was a bit better than 639 at 639, now it gets even more item level ^^
so yes, it will be good
fun .0x patch item and its barely 2% 
fun?????
its like 2.5% everywhere, which is quite good
imagine having alts
At max?
yes
Yeah that’s insane
is max still 6 weeks?
Looks like it
There is a item which gives you additional upgrades
whens patch over? 8 weeks?
but it seems like a catchup one
hard to say, we haven't seen 11.1 ptr yet
but the patch will last at least 6 weeks 
rumored date is 05.03 raid
The gems are 3x / week
well it was roughly 1 month from .5 to .7
So can’t just grab bis
doubt ts more than 2 months from .7 to next patch
2 months + holiday break
yeah makes sense
plunderstorms out on 17th im assuming for like a month
till next patch
Time to gear the warrior
how long was plunder last time, was it only a month?
a month sounds short, ngl
6 weeks first time. 4 weeks this time.
there's green pvp gear on the auction house, that is only 613 pvp ilvl. you will instantly replace it with honor/conquest gear that are 626/639 pvp ilvl.
it's pretty pointless to buy the auction house gear
is delves a good way to get pvp gear, or pvp content better?
Delve gear doesn’t scale up in pvp
Only PvP gear does
I just go straight into regular BGs as soon as I hit 80 and get honor gear
And farm bloody token gear
@meager kelp good is only used for enchants, crafted gear and embellishments. You won’t need any of that until you start earning Conquest for 639 ilvl gear
Nope
The ring won’t be used im 99.99% sure
It has no stats and every effect is nerfed by 75% in pvp
ah pvp modifiers
Thanks guys, appreciate the help
didn't look at them, well makes sense. PvP is its own mode typically ^^
have fun, also if you need help in pvp, we have a lovely pvp community in the #pvp channel.
I was about to say^ :p
how do the gems work, can you get all 3 first week or nah?
if not, what order we choosing
Feel free to ask any questions in the pvp channel if you need help later
You can mix and match them the way you want, they drop from activities/quests on the island.
Wowhead has the info. If you prefer visual guide: https://youtu.be/Xs4rqC0oXVo?si=nOowcuML3AtatWJN
Patch 11.0.7 is finally here, and with it comes the powerful new Cyrce’s Circlet ring. This ring was just MASSIVELY buffed so everyone will want to get their hands on, upgrade it to item level 658, and collect every possible gem to give you maximum flexibility. Let’s go over how you can get your ring and upgrade it to that crazy 658 item level.
...
I think the gem acquisition system isn’t on the PTR yet or something (the vendor iirc)
But the ilvls are weekly time gated
The ilvls and gems are weekly gated
Oh is it
it looks like 3 gems per week
Whispyr was saying week 2 for assa ig
well assa has the queen ring
But idk pve ain’t my thing these days 
Think its just killing rares, doing quetss, opening chests, etc.
sub has too
doing content 
It’s trash on sub compared to assa
its iirc still bis or close to it
I think there’s also meant to be a vendor
our mastery just does not work on items ^^
To buy for alts iir
it is pmuch a repeat of DF
with less gems
Yeah I think that’s what it was
The become warbound purchasable after you acquire
Cant u just stack upgrades from alts
Gotcha
Huh?
It’s a quest reward to upgrade ring

you can probably send the upgrade item to your alts so you don't need to do the quest again
Don’t worry. NA will start beta testing it in 16 hours
true
thx testerman
@tribal blade > Simulation <
The ring base item level with the best combination
Legendary rly brings it up from 0.3% before that
ah ok cool so it's not the end of the world if i don't get it immediately on reset
we're on queen but we might be doing a reclear to get the skip
Watch a proc be busted
it would just feel bad to get like a 94% on a boss and then be like "damn, that would be an orange parse if i had the ring"
honestly probably will happen
It shouldn’t take long to get it
They’re quests
ah ok, is it targetable?
Just 3 the first week
They still have time for last minute blizzard changes during patch. 
I think the ring is fine as is, not rly much to change outside of bugfixes
there might be problems like one effect breaking stealth or pulling mobs
or maybe they do a 11.0.5 again and forget to merge hotfixes/etc.
100% gonna be a thing xdd
Hell yeah ring buffs.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Ah shit here we go again
hey all, came back to wow after a long time, ehm i can see there has been some changes
but also
is it bugged or is it normal that we can use shadowstrike now out of stealth?
You’re taking damage or hitting it/stab before getting into stealth
well what i am trying to ask it
i can use ss out of stealth
like i am out of combat not in stealth and i can use it
used to always be in stealth or dance only ?
could you provide a quick video grab
It’s a stealth/dance ability
Backstab is out of stealth
so short of actually seeing whatever you’re doing via video and logs gg to you
for all I know you have a show tooltip macro going and you think you’re hitting ss.
could you provide a quick screenshot of My Actions Log of it being cast outside combat if video is not possible
sure give me a moment!
in a key :D
and laying on the floor on a boss haha
okay i guess it was bugged
after i died its back to normal
@vale pine does the new ring have a big variance from pull to pull in terms of dps?
any proc effect will have vatiance
if i'm not mistaken this ring is gonna have a lot of variance because of the legendary proc
if i understand that proc correctly
both legendary and also the storm one
CASINO TIME
also might want to put what legendary etc does
also time to craft engi things people welcome to mastery town
it is a bit funny how flag is going to make our ring procs better while it lasts
oh my god that's actually hilarious
yea and for more hilarious things resonating crystal too
if it procs mastery
so even more rng
It does not, its strictly based on your stat now
is it this
wait so would this work- you build up 30 stacks of flag before zoning into a dungeon to do a key
and it snap shots your mastery with flag into that instance?
i assume it would get reset down after the key starts
No
Its only stats
gotcha
Can equip mastery gear tho
Pop master flaks
Also you can still swap gear in the bubble
Yes, hopefully they fix that
So even if it resetin the loading screen
You just swap gear while in bubble or some shit
oh my god i'm dumb, i was reading the wrong gem
mb
if they don't fix that there's going to be incredibly annoying prepull shit going on
just for this ring
It only has variance if you look at the numbers.
proc the heals a bunch of times and then sit there crying
Our warrior brining more raid dps with their deaths
think legendary can only proc the first effect
as in the damage from all 4 allies proccing is counted as yours?
The ring is overall fairly boring, but well its not too bad
the snapshotting is a bit stupid
i think its a in between patch, so most just like to get stronger for free
Is the patch for ring today for NA?
yes
The least thing they couldve done is to bring back a ring similar to the legendary ring from WoD HFC content, make it completely op so that we can have some fun in this boring phase, killing bosses on mythic in 15 seconds after everybodys ring explodes.
you can't do that at the start of an xpac. the one time you can is in the last patch
Ye I know, but one can only dream....because rn retail feels just dead and super boring...
@tepid trellis & his lost ark campaign. Did you win yet?
is it me or this combination will be our best?
subterfuge?
but do we know yet if it's based on what is equiped or is it ANY effect?
legendary procs any ring effect that can proc
so if its even from a citrine that is not equiped, why not use the other 2 slot for stats?
we just use what does more dmg overall
dont care about 1 effect or the other
so legendary/x/fathom
Does the ring mean sub will be back in keys
Pray for sin nerfs I guess
Why? Just play sub.
Push keys :/
if assa is keeping you from playing sub, as soon as it’s nerfed the next highest dps taking its place (which I doubt is sub)
Ass is just currently much better.
Then they replace it with ret or enhance or ele when it’s nerfed
so careful what you wish for
i think sub is quite fine tbh most of the problem will come from other people's thoughs
Oh that's fine. Just means with my group I can play sub and not be troll
more than performance
sadly they culled flag working with fathom and other quirky things but still
You can def play sub without it being troll
idk how it will pan out
you’re a troll for not playing a meta class then if that’s the take
well m+ pushing is like that a zero sum people always try to use the best comp
even if other things are available
like take warr tank or druid tank they are kinda good and give more dmg but pala just
does everything
big dmg gives more surv utility etc
mmhm
You are doing sub for 17s?
and your tank probably has 3 tanks ready
Its like the best break the meta spec (besides ele)
Think sub does about the same as surv except its also immortal
Surv > Ele > Sub for off meta
yea sub is so tank
Whereas surv isnt 
hunters idk they use to be quite durable
Surv has lust
then suddenly
sub is bis, most fun spec in game atm
it will be even funnier tomorrow for EU today for NA
trickster sub*
only trickster exists
Based and actually
imagine they fixed some DS bugs
but we didnt notice in PTR
because who played it
I'd also like to get some of that copium @alpine wraith
Not sure if this belongs in tc-research, but I've noticed that the apl seems to send random "dry" sectechs:
Funny thing, the one guy with 3.4k rating in BTM is outlaw
does any1 know how to stop transmitter tts to go to discord?
is it the one who plays with Squish?
that would be outlaw cuh
he's always outlaw, that's their push team
oh i didn't know you are also dyslexic.
Thats not how you spell subtlety
Oh, yeah, its that guy
highest apm spec should be super fast at pressing respec button
That's the problem though. They keep pressing more buttons during the cast bar and interrupting themselves.
Hey guys, outlaw player here! I keep pressing SoD, but it only gives me the damage amp from Grand Melee, and none of the other buffs? Is this a bug? Thx!
Hmm now that I've made my shitpost i kinda wonder how sub would play with rtb..
sub is peaking rn, after stealing half of outlaw cool spells 
Hey you stole shadow dance and step first just saying
We just took it back, and then some
smh outlaw saying steal
shadow dance was a class talent, we didnt tke anything
now
SB got transformed into dreadblades and is now a fun cd
I still have dreadblades on my action bar for nostalgia
Wait holy shit thats so true haha
and you guys took ace cp refund to create the only fun gaemplay loop of sub with shadowcraft

you also stole bf to fix sub aoe

Cant wait for our tier set to give us a gun next patch
what is BF
Bladeflurry
truly thug cleave
as long as next tier set casts Dispatch at 100% effectiveness I'm happy
Was ace cp refund in outlaw before sub gamba cp refund in SL?
Tell you what if stealing azerite powers is a thing you can have that stupid ass stacking damage bullshit that was good in uldir
For us it was shuriken toss but for you it can be bte
It'll never stack all the way up because you're pressing bte all the time 
Which rogue spec do y’all think will scale the ring best once it’s maxed out?
https://www.wowhead.com/spell=272911/sharpened-blades
For any new-ish rogues who didn't play in bfa this was actually the best azerite power you could get at the start
Sharpened Blades is an Assassination Rogue and Subtlety Rogue power available for both specializatons within the class. Your autoattacks increase the damage of your next Shuriken Toss or Poisoned Knife by 82, stacking up to 30 times.
Ahh that fuckin talent
And it was so SO boring
Why'd you remind me
If it's like dragon flight sub will like it the most when it gets over buffed and we'll wear it until they nerf it to the ground. Assuming they buff it anyway
Sub is quite different from season 2 DF
For example, Gloomblade isn't our number 1 dps button anymore xd
Assuming they get rid of the snap shotting I doubt it will be better than myth rings
that's their intended tuning target but we'll see
I mean the sims are done without snapshotting
I mean for next tiers myth rings not current to be clear
Oh ic
I'd hope its better than current haha
Same lol
what happened to feral? 😮
it just feels like ass to play now
with the haste changes following DF
Do we have some good logs of red mark silken court I can scour? All top logs are blue mark..
Red group is a "gamers only" club 😎
I made purple in red group )
And I lost 1 use of transmitter on burst. Fuking orb drive me nuts
I will not miss orb
hunting that little fucker down during spell effects was my 13th reason this season
inb4 the new one makes you /highfive, /hug, or /kiss a goblin for a stat buff
yes please
and they all have the same npc ID so you can't use a weakaura
gotta zoom in first person pov
Don't threaten me with a good time
I mean if you aren't already raiding/doing m+ in first person are you even gaming
wasn't there some 3rd person over-the-shoulder type camera thing floating around for a while that was totally scrapped
Yeah! Was some legion thing iirc
i assume there is a reset with the patch on wcl?
i don't even remember what happened back then, but feral feels nice to play. just feels like it's rarely tuned to be the good druid to invite
they drastically cut back on energy regen to slow the spec down a fair bit
you were more of a Bite machine bc your cp economy was so high
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hey all im very new here and a new rogue player, sub seems like so much more fun but i got kinda convinced to go assassination, all the guides seem to put assassination higher as well but sub seems higher on the damage profile. Can anyway give me a brief reasoning why assassination is rated so much higher than sub?
because you can play assassination on your second monitor 
what kind of content are you doing?
heroic raiding and nothing above +10s
Sin tends to do higher damage overall in m+; their aoe damage is stellar but their talents give up single target to do it, whereas sub can do very good aoe damage without having to sacrifice single target damage so you kinda pick which is more important to you
in general though, sin is tuned better and can take advantage of funnel/prio damage better
but that's not to say sub is bad, its actually very good
Also u have like fixed CD windows at 1 and 2 mins as sin. Sub has to plan a bit more ahead
and for the content you're doing, sub can absolutely perform and even excel
Wich is fun in my eyes
thank you i appreciate the input
if you're having more fun with sub, I would definitely say stick with it
because it is incredibly fun lol
and who knows how long it will stay that way
that guy looks like a gamer ngl
yeah im a big fan of that guy. seems pretty chill
yea, just a chill guy
yeah, L change
it wasn't even that fast to begin with
PW rips fall off so fast nowadays
okay mr pirate. back to outlaw now thanks

heyho guys, how are the buffs to the races? is it worth switching?
If you wanna spam every gcd theres outlaw! nothing wrong with differentiating specs
a lot of people prefer it this way
i was talking about feral in df
it was already a slow spec, and they slowed it down even more
to the point that it feels sluggish
I am stupid ignore me then!
didnt read the whole convo
back to league good sir
all good armin
nop, the changes are pretty much irrelevant
lemme give you one of these
d1 police is real
man defends a thesis and goes on the warpath

the differences are super minor, it is advised to select race based on visuals
I haven't touched league since Zac was introduced lol
holy fuck those are ancient times
I just couldn't vibe with it, all my friends quit to play it during Cata and I was bitter
ty vm, was thinking about switching to mag'har
played a few games as Jarvan and Talon and perma-logged
its really fun
but its really tilting
like i just got back in after 4 ish years got placed like emerald or soemthing and when people sucked di was like yeah ahha they just dont know better
I left my competitive edge in my 20's lol
its oaky, i have my last final today! and will finally graduate
then we shrimply lcimb
hell yeah
I'm going back to school next fall and not looking forward to giving up gaming time for it lol
its hard, not a lot of time to plpay :/
Yeah, I'll be working full time the whole time too so my schedule is going to be super jam packed
thankfully I work at the university I'll be taking classes at so I literally walk across the quad to lecture/lab then walk back to the lab when its over
oh thats nice actually! a lot better setup than mine
should be managable then
but gonna be hard
be ready hehe
Gz! What degree?
Lol right, I've taken the undergrad version of two of the core classes so it'll mostly be review, then the second level of multivariate stats/research methods are going to run train on me
my research was in 3D comuter vision and scene understanding
Cool
oh I took some of those. some arae turbo aids
then the other ones are giga space aids

I think its only like a 30 credit masters program and 19 of them come from stats, research methods, theory, and the actual thesis class and the electives are all super interesting sounding
and 90% of the stats courses are plug-and-play in SPSS
nice gl gl. I had to only take 5 courses for mine, the rest was just research and publication
that sounds super fun
so that part was nice ig
I'd much rather just do research lol even though data aggregation can be a fucking slog
I guess depends on the degree, but lot of tmie you have large scale datasets you can use. like in CS research alot of time you just use existing datasets that get published.
like some large companies have their own hidden datasets, like I did a partnership with Meta to make them a dataset for human robot interaction but most god datasets are publicly published papers
okay yeah that sounds like an actual blast lol
the program I'm getting into is really methods-heavy so they emphasize good data collection and analysis so you're on the hook for all of the experiment design, data collection, analysis and presentation
cuz you kinda have to do the research that your supervisor also wants to do, so its a lot more limited
if you had full freedom it would be more fun, but not everythings publishable and the supervisor only cares about publishing so forces you to work on publishable stuff
Ah, I think they'll let you kinda tag along with some of the faculty research but you have to do the heavy lifting and come up with a semi-unique research qeustion
Are you at an R1?
what do you mean R1? is that an americn slang? :p
oh i googled it, yeha its R1 in CS i guess
I think like top 10 world , top 2 canada?
Lol its a university that prioritizes research and publication over teaching
as opposed to faculty focusing on teaching and doing research on the side
might just be an American term
we have 2 prograams here, one is course based and you pay for that, another one is research based and you get paid for it. its like a mini phd
i did the 2nd one
So like the big universities here will have really big names who only have to teach maybe a class a semester, or year so they can focus on publishing more and bringing in more notoriety to the program/university
was fun, i got to work with meta, google, and boston dynamics
but also i was miserble 99% of it so 
yeah my supervisor did his PHD in stanford and post doc in prinston so I colab'd with those 2 schools in some wor
k
That sounds pretty dope, you can get paid for your phd here but its a pittance and also not guaranteed
same with a masters program
but yeah its like subhuman wage
yeah its not great .
I think the one I got into in Mississippi paid like...12k a year
and the masters was 300k
i got a PHD offer with 50k gauranteed but industry offers a lot more soooo
Yeah it was a crock of shit
its cool though like you can take as many courses as you want without needing to pay
and u need to pass 5 of them for graduation
u kinda just take coruses to learn instead of to pass them
That's kind of the idea of a liberal arts education here but its too expensive for that nonsense now lol
The place I work now is trying to streamline everything bc enrollment is super low and last year they were $18mil in the hole with depleted reserves
Ive heard its happening everywhere. I went for coffee with an old prof. shes the head of PHD for finance and was saying how enrollment is super down everywhere except CS
and now with cutting backs on international students in canada its gonna be even lower everywhere
and with CS hype dying CS is gonna die too
prbably gonna see some new degrees in streaming/youtubing LMFAO
Dude they're so behind on that, it would have been MASSIVE to go in on
add some cert to the RTF degree
it is weird though, like i had to teach a course and TA a couple of other courses
and like people are real bad
half the stuff i got was just LLM based responses.
the other half was just nonsense
and its like... were fucked
For sure, the professors I work with share whenever they get student submissions that are just baffling sometimes
Idk what happened
but it def feels like the collective intelligence has been dropping year after year lol
Let the beta testing of 11.0.7 begin.
its a weird distribution. The top end is super high but the low end is bottoming out
def right skewed lol
I think it sjust people trying less hard idk
I could see that, there definitely feels like less payoff for it
and schools are more focused on getting money by passing students instead of teaching
so its just a downward spiral
For sure
they just want people in the door, who cares if they're capable
you get their tuition money for a year or two
like the course i taught, i was talked to by the head of faculty.
they were like the midterm waas too hard
even though it was a copy paste of assignment questions
and bro was like, yeah everyone needs to pass
i mean, the masters is the cashcow program for the school
they make so muchh money off of it
they need to keep people happy and graduating and placed in jobs
The place I work has really, really good job placement but they never market themselves towards that so their recruitment is in the dumpster
the amount of high school students that come here for college courses is the second highest in the state but they aren't able to get any of them to come here for college once they're out of high school
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
@vale pine well week 1 it's 642
lol
guess you get the first update week one, making the system only 5 weeks
so where do you get the bis sockets. Is it random? I have one of them
How much stamina does it have, out of interest
14,172 stam
Big, thanks.
are we using ring?
yes
is there specific rares to get our bis sockets from?
where the sims and sticky at

wowhead has an article listing the gems and their sources
fathomdweller is currently unknown
can you link it
nvm found it
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/the-war-within/patch-11-0-7-cyrces-circlet-customizable-ring if anyone is curious
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
@lilac stag can you check if it is possible to get fathomdweller this week
in ptr you could only get some specific ones week 1
The first 3 are set afaik. Making dinner. Can check later.
!sod
Macro to prevent accidental uses of extra charges: #showtooltip Symbols of Death /castsequence reset=2 Symbols of Death,null /cqs
yea this week in ptr dmg ones were thunderlord the base one and legendary
then heal and shield one on blue
so ring not worth equipping yet
hm
I got the highest secondary and thunder lord gems but no lengendary gem
so maybe something is random
stones should come from the big research thingies and another from the fill the bar
!symbols
How to Use Symbols of Death:
Symbols of Death is used with 3 or less seconds of the Symbols of Death buff remaining or if the buff is not up.
Watch your Shadow Dance cooldown before using Symbols of Death. If Shadow Dance is not on cooldown or if the remaining cooldown is lower than 10 seconds it is usually better to delay the Symbols of Death cast till after Shadow Dance.
Is there a picture showing the usage of Symbols in ST as trickster ?
There used to be a picture showing a timeline with dance and symbols
Yes but that was when it was more streamlined
Now you can do it pretty much whenever
As long as you make sure youll be able to use two of them during
and 
Which is 1 charge and ~40s or so on dance
Typically thats 1 inbetween, but on pull you sometimes get 2 inbeetween
I just got Skardyn's in vault. Is it worth now that DB is 90s? Sim says yes, but IDK how ass it will be
Damn I'm so confused with the sub changes since launch
I really suggest reading every single word in the guide, and then watching a vod of someone very good
Isn't there like a baseline to follow for Dance, Symbols, Tech ?
I read the guide
Watched top ppl's cd usage on lorg
The guide is super vague and only shows the opener which actually differs from sims
i mean the guide is omega well done but
I'm used to coaching level of insights, ofc it can't all be in a wowhead guide
i'm feeling a lil lost with prior to change sub brain
but I do recall seeing a picture with a timeline for CD usage that went beyond the opener
it's pretty simple once you understand it. Flag, into symbols into dance into blades
into another dance
like for a full rotation from opener cds to 2nd round of cds (1min30/2m)
yeah it's really the in-between cd's that got me confused
just dance with symbols and once you have ~40 or so seconds until flag is left, you pool your dances and symbol charges for your flag blades window
Do the burst then do 1 dance+symbols inbetween to start of with
Then once you get more comfortable try to squeeze in an extra dance inbetween whenever its possible
seems like you can only get thunderlord, windsinger, mariner, and roaring this week
But getting the burst sequence down is the most important
It's basically a 3 min trinket because you're using it every other Flag/SB.
which is why even if it sims good in some kill timings, it isnt used on actual top logs
I would take it since its also good for sin.
because often, it doesnt line up with actual kill timings as well as treacherous
but its still pretty good, yeah
It doesnt really sim good compared to transmitter
But if he doesnt have transmitter is likely looking decent
yes but if he has in vault its his only chance at getting it 639
Its better to have it at 639 trinket then to never get it.
Most seasons you wont get it except you grind a lot m+ and even then its luck based
kinda bummed that seemingly the only blue gem you can get this week is the one that heals
blizz hates fun
you wanted to play with your new toys?
NOPE
grounded for a week
I would just chill with the ring. Its pretty w/e and will be still tuned.
Burst sequence meaning 2 dances symbols ?
so wait can we not just farm all the gems?
the guy who actually has to implement the timegating must either really love or really hate his job. just soulless
artificially making a small amount of content take longer by removing flight and adding time gate
It's pretty quick to get all of this week's gems anyway, 40 minutes - 1 hour tops
I mean this patch is doggg haha. Crazy timegate, I did all the new content in 30 minutes, and no power gain possible for quite a while depending on gem RNG. Sheeeesh banger patch
What about as Deathstalker, does it change anything ?
no
Hmm, for some reason my CB/ST macro broke this patch? Anyone else have that happen?
So I guess mastery will be much more valuable than vers when Ring patch hits us, right ?
are you guys getting legendary gem this week?
Not really
heehee
Why not ? if ring scales with mastery and prior it mastery and vers were near even
Ring doesnt really scale that much
if were getting 4 gems a week, how many weeks before we can even use this shitty thing
Wait, we cant get all gems this week? I thought they drop in chests and from rare mobs too?
I did everything and only got 4, who knows?
Same, I've got Roaring/Thunderlords/Windsinger/Mariner's
same
sims at a loss atm but not surprised
it's meant to be nostalgia for BFA when they introduced a rotating corruption vendor at first. you guys didn't like that?
its simming better than my second ring
which is a 626 high nerubian signet
so im using the queen ring 626 and the new one
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Same
i had that on rashanan
for ages
was almost at the point where i considered holding cooldowns
any idea on when the race sims will be corrected?
why did i think this was in oribos
kyveza's room looks like it haha
Ok 

it's beautiful
and now very relevant because we're stuck wiping on princess
i just died on a pull because someone sent an orb directly through the raid
Eh? You can run them yourself if there’s something not updated. It’s basically diaper baby, orc and maghar as top dps
apparently velf isn'
t simming properly
idk how tf to fix that
so I figured I'd ask lmao
My world, except new tank.
The updated dmg ability wasn’t on ptr. 
Apparently it’s not in game or wcl not picking it up

Not triggered once by our ve player
!wa
Do nimble flurry and/or replicating shadows get impacted by my positioning or are they cleaving off the hitbox/center off the target?
Flurry you, RS enemy
lol, what pet/item is that
race sims should be mostly fine
but if you want to be sure, wait a few days for blizz to fix things on live and simcraft to correct the updates
but it says legendary, and legendary items arn't easy to get
its this expanion's repair bots
it's the repair bots 😉
have a lot from scrapping
oh
how long does it take to get the ring + gems, i am not sure i have enough time today to farm it
took me around 1 hour
maybe you can do it faster if you re not fucking around like me
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
it's pretty fast, but the only issue is you have to use a healing gem
this week we get thunderlord, mariner's, windsinger and roaring war queen
which means you have to put in a healing one, so there's no way for the ring to be good for any dps this week
yeah it's unfortunate, but means there's no rush to get the ring
Is 20agi/10mastery the best way to lock in the mercurial egg from ovinax on sub?
Yes
No not rn

Why do they torment us so.
yeah it's kinda funny lol
i don't actually know when the next rotation of gems we can get are
Maybe when WQ's shift?
It would be a very strange decision since, surely, if you miss this week you'd miss gems?
Why not just let us get them all.
i assume you'd be able to catch up
so tldr its not worth for me to get it before my raid this eve?
Stamina is nice but probably not, no
all i know is me and my guildies have spammed that island for a good few hours before raid and everyone got the exact same gems
Heroes
Oh god they updated the transmog thing
hehe we'd do it regardless 😉
I logged in and I am getting hundreds of transmogs
yeah i saw that, i got a bunch of horde variant tmogs
make sure you're doing the purple quest btw, not the campaign quest
for the new isle
Thanks!
ring takes like ~5 mins to get
Blessed day: dagger in vault. Crit Mast.
also make sure you keep the ring equipped while on the isle
i got a crazy good vault
I did precisely 1 +10 this week because I have been focusing on INdiana JOnes. My laziness is rewarded
dayum. That owns.
big for sub 🙂
Extremely. Hell yeah
I'm only missing two items from vault now (Trinket and Tier gloves). GOnna craft my helm and boots to 639, so hell yeah dagger makes life good.
noice!
wdym craft to 639? can u craft 639 items now?
Sorry, I meant 636.
ah okay xD got confused for a sec
Haha, yeah, my bad 😄
At least we get the highest secondary stat gem this (week / reset / today)
Do I have to do the ring weekly or just catchup once it's at a high enough ilvl
I've been playing sub for a tiny little while, and so far I feel like I can't use abilities fast enough, the 1s gcd feels super long
has anyone felt the same way or am I just weird ?
ur weird
huhhh
👀
there's no way
yeah I know
so whats the issue
fair, but.. Just so you understand that the entire gameplay is based on the 1 sec, so ur not missing out, trust
yeah fair fair
I guess I just need to get used to it
only played pres evoker so far and it felt different
its nice to have 1 sec at the start of expansions
when everyone else is hovering around 1.4-1.5
yeah for sure, has to be nice
outlaw got lower gcd when using their cd
I started playing at season 4 dragonflight and (at least with preservation) it felt super fast
rogue (mostly sub out of cd and sin in st) are limited by energy tho
so you will get more time between gcds than 1s in some cases
sad
not always, especially not in aoe
being gcd locked to 1 second is in itself a win/lose situation
lose because haste does very little, and whenever there's a big haste buff on encounters (which happens quite a bit) rogues don't get the same benefit as everyone else
BUT win because whenever there's haste reduction we don't feel it much
and also means we aren't tied to haste effects like lust/PI to do dam

like in RLP in DF i didn't even realize there were mobs that decreased haste until i played my warr in there
Wait they decrease haste?!
exactly haha
there were mobs in the upper floor right before last boss that decreased haste to people in melee who got hit by their aoe
completely unnoticable by rogues because of gcd lock
Haha, damn
it is an issue though when there's a massive haste reduction, then you can feel it because we become energy starved
no melee swings = no sht procs
we're also playing a fine line with our energy management since we're stuck at 100 energy
Yeah
can someone explain why sometimes my combo points fill back up after using a finisher? i cant find out what it is
gems are week gated? cant seem to get all gems we want this week
Unsure if it's weekly gated but it might be, yeah. Just four so far, which is annoying.
can only get 4 today
All my sims put the current arrays as a big decrease atm, too. Sad.
yeah it can't compete at the current ilvl and 1 healing gem
Versus Queen ring, anyway
yeah
It is a very strange choice to timegate the gems themselves, imo
Maybe it's a daily rotation though.
So maybe we get the next four tomorrow.
my guildie said something cynical which might honestly be true
i think he has a point haha
Nah, I don't think so because it's such a whatever thing to timegate
Most people won't care.
I don't think it was done to keep people subbed. There's way better options to do that and they didn't.
the isle itself has very little to do relatively, so this is likely their way of stretching the centent out
I think it's just a weird decision that wasn't adjusted when they buffed the ring.
it is a TINY isle
For all we know it's a daily rotation
I also think it's a pretty fine bit of content for catchup / collector
I am either expecting them to adjust the gems to all be available, or it to turn outt o be a daily rotation.
hopefully we get em quicker
I'm holding out for daily
Unfortunately people would care even less if just the ilvl was gated. Who is going to really care about ~16 ilvl on a ring, sooooo…. We gate the gems.
My gut feeling is that they adjusted it last minute and didn't think it through
Gating the gems is such a nonsense thought for them to have simply because it's going to impact different classes differently haha
Nah. Just didn’t think it through is the equivalent of actually saying we didn’t make any substantial content for the players to be interested in so we’ll ration out the 2 days worth over 5 weeks.
the legendary effect looks to be the real gate, and by that time we’re all playing plunder storm.
i completed most of what the isle had to offer in around 2 hours
I think people are far too quick to ascribe malicious design to it when I think the likely answer is: rushed content changed at the last minute.
Ye, that's fair
It’s just blizzard. Do it enough times and it’s malicious
I don't agree because malicious requires intent.
Their intent it to stretch out content.
been doing it since weekly story quests
or stretch out their own resources
The latter is more likely.
If they didn't timegate them then people would do them all in one day and immediately go "WHERE CONTENT"
Impossible to win lol
where is the content is still valid
The gating doesn’t change that
the gating just forces you to log in because there is no content that is sustainable
Does it force you to login though?
if you ultimately are still in prog or want to chase logs yes
I have one more thing I have to do now instead of raid logging and crying
That's fair, yeah. I'd still argue it's not forcing you to do that. You've chosen to do that. But at the same time it's put a new upgrade in and yeah, if you wanna chase logs (or prog, as it'll make it easier)
but considering how little time it takes to get it's kinda w/e? But, the gem gating is dumb, I just don't think it's done with malicous content mill design
RL says get ring, you get ring.
If they wanted to do that, why not stick it behind a rep gate?
Now you've gotta login and do dailies every day for a month.
That’s a more obvious piss people off.
But it'd keep you subbed and engaged
INstead of simply logging in, doing 30 minutes, logging off, and then coming back in a week
I wonder if the numbers would support that
Which if we are talking design intended to increase MAU, isn't very good
That would push me closer to unsub
I think so too but I don't think the design intent is that smart.
I hope they immediately fix the gem acquisition and the only thing that's remotely gated is ILevel / legendary effect
Because then I'd be right about something on the internet and that's the real victory
Sadly the optics blizzard puts out show they either don’t have the time to make quality adjustments to classses (ie bug fixes) or substantial mid tier content patches. They toss out buffs to cover for broken class design, and gate (one way or another) a low volume of content to keep a sub going for maybe 1-2 extra months.
Ye, I don't disagree with you there at all.
Wow sucks as a seasonal game
I think it's fine if people can go do something else. But I think we've talked about the AP grind stuff before.
mmhm
There's a middleground where it's more engaging without becoming a chore.
The island it fine. It’s cute whatever.
Ye
Just let me fuck around with the gem combos
S a m e
so it's normal that day1 we only have the shitty gems?
and the ring is basically useless?
Seems so
kk ty
the heal is kinda like the sporecloak, just not as good.
Which is very strange and silly and i'm hoping they address / fix it asap. You can get 4 atm (Thunderlord, Mariner, Queen's, and the heal one)
The dot was between 6-8% of dmg
cuz i did everything i could on the isle and i was wondering if i need to go mad to find fathomdweller/stormbringer
Sadly not yet
So closer to 5 once you adjust down to losing stats
Maybe if it's daily and us reset shows something but I dunno.
Hopefully we'll see 4 more gems up then
My guess is midweek reset
If not then I guess maybe WQ reset at the weekend, and if not then: lol weekly.
Yeah, I think that's likely
if we're locked into thunderlord and windsinger im still using the crafted ring
Ye, if it is weekly then we're basically sitting on a worthless ring for a week which is very very silly
one the plus side. Zone wasn’t lagfest. 
It is a very nice and smooth experience
I like the stormy variant. It has vibes
Trying to farm the rare drop rune for the birb and it's not 100%.
But at least I can easily solo him and there's not loot lockout
I liked islands 🏝️ so I’m probably in the minority that will find enjoyment in sitting down and not thinking to farm some mogs
I wish the alt gear was higher ilvl though
I have to run 2-3 keys. Spyglass in vault and I stopped farming crests.
so basically veteran
Oh, that's a fair point then.
pray for me
I want to see it in action
I'm curous
fair
Plus tricky likes crit
I like the empowering crystal a lot though
But I'd take Spyglass if only because it'd be a good way to get a ton of crit for trickster which I'll be dropping soon on my crafted replacements
Also the agility from 639 over 626 contract probably worth it
I did 1/2 our prog with ring on just to see what it did
do you guys know how to obtain legendary and fathom socket?
not available yet
everyone only has access to the same 4 gems for now
Oooookey, thank you!
yea right now ring is -70k dps for me
idk about you
still have to get it tho because eventually the good gems will arrive i guess
i didn't even sim it because i knew there's no way it's worth putting on
considering i heard others try simming it and they're losing a lot of dps
no blue dps socket is rip
2.6% less than a 626 queen ring and Nerubian Signet (Vers/Mast) for me.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
it's -26k dps for me atm
so next week with more gems and more ilvl it'll overtake my current rings
Yeah
the ring is basically working at 2/3rds of it's actual power atm because we have a dead gem in
my guildie's addon domination socket helper is gonna be popular again
Hah
-26 is rly close
it is! surprisingly
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
but far enough where it's not worth
sorry to be a noob but what does legendary mean with the ring gems
currently unobtanium?
you cannot get it right now correct
our lives about to be like
whats the legendary gem anyway? i cant find it anywhere. wowprogress hasnt it listed or am I just being stupid rn
