lashga asking about which corruption is best for M+

and if its still bugged

Tbf I just ignore Lashga unless I’m ready for cartoons and a laugh. feelsloveman

Ion generally has good insights. It’s the follow through / lawyer speak that gets old.

old venture
#

Ion is good with words

#

nothing more or less

Harvard grad, NYU School of Law Grad, worked for WilmerHale before swapping to blizzard

Stuff like hearing time gating bad to land in time gating is pain

old venture
#

luckily for him, he addressed this in an old interview

#

usually when we get the interviews and they discuss a shift in their design flow, the previous thing is already ready to launch

#

so the new learned insights came after they already finalized the release of x or y

bleak night
#

also they're a small indie company, you need to give them an expansion or four

#

so they can catch up

old venture
#

he's not entirely wrong in that statement though

#

they addressed how much everyone hated infinite grinds like AP in legion and then dropped azerite power

#

but by the time they acknowledged they were wrong, they already had the azerite trait/neck system in place

good thing they learned their lesson from legion and bfa

i almost have the open 500 delve chest achieve

if you want to talk mentally ill

bleak night
#

and didnt add an infinite grind to torghast

lucid jackal
old venture
#

and it was more for alts

keen dome
#

Torghast and Islands. Warfronts. The farm from MoP..

old venture
#

so you could grind your garbage to make your garbage legendary

keen dome
#

Glorious systems we grew to hate

old venture
#

Warfronts could've been so cool man

bleak night
#

all of these systems wouldve been better had they been introduced like plunderstorm

keen dome
#

You know what system they should bring back?

old venture
keen dome
#

Brawl Pub.

bleak night
#

as a fun game mode for a bit to grind some cosmetics

#

instead of a way to grind power

old venture
#

yeah them taking out brawl

#

made no fucking sense

bleak night
#

i miss brawlers guild so much

shrewd lantern
#

we need to do these

old venture
keen dome
#

If I remember, it was a passion project from someone or a small team, and I assume they left and nobody else wanted to update it

wtf, i just noticed we can buy only weapons n trinkets for dinar... is there any other vendor?

shrewd lantern
bleak night
#

nope thats all

#

weapons, trinkets, and jastors

goddaaaamn

and back from sprocket

keen dome
#

I have an extremely fond memory of another Rogue sturggling in Brawlpub in MoP. And I gave him a load of advice and he got better. And then later I see him in the top raiding guild on my server. And he went faaaaaaaaar.

old venture
#

ye dinars have always been weapons/trinkets + super rare items

shrewd lantern
#

What else would you need dinars for

brave moth
#

SecTec on Gally is reaching the adds yes? When he is in the middle

void ocean
#

ring

shrewd lantern
#

yeah jastor is on here

void ocean
#

not that ring, mythic ring from key

swift tinsel
#

nope

#

just trinkets from m+

dont you just love when the oab adds spawn 15 seconds before your flag

they probably thought

void ocean
#

there it is?

shrewd lantern
#

too many rings

void hound
lucid jackal
#

Yeah I watched the whole thing

vale pine
old venture
vale pine
#

haha ye

old venture
#

nevermind that these systems always drop when the tier is effectively over and it's just people wrapping up their CEs/AOTCs and could benefit from the extra ilvl

#

fuck those people

#

ok?

vale pine
#

would be a shame if you get gear once the season is over

#

think they should delay the dinar till next xpac

old venture
#

true

#

let us buy a jastor in 12.0

vale pine
#

you get it handed by illidan then

shrewd lantern
#

i have 2 jastors (heroic)

vale pine
#

haha ^^

old venture
#

just weird restrictions at a point where it's irrelevant

#

per usual

vale pine
#

i talked with a friend the other day

swift tinsel
#

idk it was also a weird move to name it after a system that had a very distinct iteration previously

vale pine
#

i don't know if wow's catchup system is well designed

old venture
#

well the first system was horrible

vale pine
#

especially with ion saying something along the lines of

old venture
#

kill 20 heroic bosses for an item

vale pine
#

people can just come back and jump in quickly

old venture
vale pine
#

but the endless upgrade tracks, valorstone caps, etc

#

and crafting

swift tinsel
#

yeah the SL version was def worse than DF

vale pine
#

you can't actually come back to the game and get up on track fast

old venture
#

so after experiencing shadowlands, I'll take it ig lmao

#

DF one was chefkiss

swift tinsel
#

having it be its own track system was nice

old venture
#

monkeypaw design

#

give mythic+ trinkets say fuck you for the raid gear

swift tinsel
#

did DF have m+ trinkets too or just raid, idr

vale pine
#

DF had only raid

lucid jackal
#

p sure it didn't

vale pine
#

iirc

#

but you got the diars fairly fast

swift tinsel
#

yeah thats what I vaguely remember

old venture
#

the m+ trinkets is a nice touch

vale pine
#

m+ trinkets would be nice

swift tinsel
#

having some of them actually be worth it was nice too

vale pine
#

if they would not suck

old venture
#

maybe they feel that the special raid items are too powerful where they'd impact the next tier's start

swift tinsel
#

yeah they said something about that in one of the blue posts iirc

old venture
#

which I mean fair

keen dome
#

Their argument was silly, though.

shrewd lantern
#

items like jastor are just stupid

old venture
#

a normal jastors was on par with a fully upgraded myth track ring lmao

swift tinsel
#

didn't want folks strolling into next tier with 684 trinkets/weps without seeing mythic

keen dome
#

They are worried those speical raid items will be too good if someone who only did LFR could get it, and they'd never swap off it.

shrewd lantern
#

very rare and also turbo bis for everyone

lucid jackal
#

Not for outlaw Okayge

swift tinsel
#

which is a fassile argument bc an lfr andy wouldn't have the gilded to max it

keen dome
#

Ignoring how the same player can still get a 671 version of the same trinket..

shrewd lantern
#

i feel very rare items should at best be

#

cosmetic/flavor items

lucid jackal
#

?

old venture
#

(too soon?)

lucid jackal
#

very rare items should be OP

#

The game should have OP loot in it

shrewd lantern
#

sprocket back is a good idea

old venture
#

the +1 luck item is bis

#

because flips

lucid jackal
#

thats the point of an MMO gear based game

shrewd lantern
#

wait does the luck do shit

#

XD

swift tinsel
#

you need the Griftah thing for true luck

old venture
#

if your character flips while jumping you'll always flip

keen dome
#

Jastor / Sark cloak are cool because they're just.. neat items.

bleak night
#

i dont really care at all one way or another about needing to kill the boss to buy the item, my biggest issue is that you should be allowed to upgrade an item to myth track once you kill the boss

#

i shouldnt have to buy another jastors when i kill gallywix, just let me upgrade the heroic one i bought

old venture
#

so blefs/velfs will always side spin, nelfs and vulpera will always front flip

swift tinsel
#

if the jetpack cloak made you hover it'd be bis just for that

shrewd lantern
#

or maybe just have it upgradeable to myth track

#

once you kill m gally

old venture
#

they could've just made it upgradeable to max and the last 4 or 5 are locked behind killing the boss on mythic

#

but what do I know

shrewd lantern
#

i've heard priests say the sprocket cloak is really good for them

#

idk if cope

#

though

bleak night
#

priests will do literally anything for movespeed

old venture
#

I just work here as an internet janitor

bleak night
#

even play goblin

swift tinsel
bleak night
#

so i believe it

vale pine
#

for me its like this

keen dome
old venture
shrewd lantern
#

"Thats a goblin? no way that's a tank"

old venture
swift tinsel
#

damn based af

vale pine
#

if bob is a heroic raider, he will be very happy if he gets a mythic trinket.
Why give bob something he already has instead?

shrewd lantern
#

I mean my biggest beef is purely the fact you can buy a hero piece

#

that is entirely not upgradeable

#

even if you kill the boss on mythic

lethal thorn
#

so do i go void rit or echoing void ? did you guys found the actual ppm ?

vale pine
#

i don't care if somone has a mythic trinket if he has not killed the boss dracthyr_shrug why do others

swift tinsel
#

bc they're gatekeepy weirdos

keen dome
#

Yeah

lucid jackal
#

because a next tier exists and u shouldnt, as a heroic raider, have access to shit like mythic jaster, eye, etc

keen dome
#

Unless you pay a lot of real money, I guess

bleak night
#

just buy a few wow tokens and get a boost

swift tinsel
#

doesn't mythic ilvl equate to lfr of the next tier

#

or is it normal

keen dome
#

Ultimately i feel it's meaningless, the difference isn't huge. But it's a real dumb double standard, and the whole thing is silly

lucid jackal
#

A lot of these items are going to be very strong going into next tier

keen dome
#

If Blizz had just communicated it properly then it'd be whatever

upbeat sorrel
#

ye but some stuff is good until next tier if its not just raw stats

spiral needle
#

Blizzard has made it pretty clear they consider Mythic raid gear special, but there is also the question of where should the line be drawn on the quantity of gear to be given to Bob for bosses he'll never kill.

swift tinsel
#

then they can nerf like transmitter or the other trinkets

upbeat sorrel
#

like sylvanas dagger type stuff

upbeat sorrel
#

or trinkets

lucid jackal
vale pine
#

the game has high item level gaps to not have too high amounts of carry over power

swift tinsel
lucid jackal
#

But I want last tiers gear to have value

#

Not just instantly be dogshit going into another tier

#

so that joey peanut can get mythic gear for heroic clears

lethal thorn
#

!fuu

wicked joltBOT
swift tinsel
#

it will still have value, but won't carry as far into the next tier

vale pine
#

you must hate crafting then

#

^^

bleak night
#

god i hate joey

lucid jackal
#

how is crafting related?

dusk stone
#

did we get fixed

burnt panther
#

To be fair, the m+ trinkets should be unlocked for everyone at +17 to make it just as difficult for the raiders

vale pine
#

well people get high item levels without doing the content

bleak night
#

nothing to fix

vale pine
#

which is your concern

lucid jackal
#

It isn't

spiral needle
#

You have to do content for crafting though

vale pine
#

whats your concern then

lucid jackal
#

My issue is with premium raid loot being handed out

spiral needle
#

Gilded crests don't spawn in your mailbox

lucid jackal
#

^

vale pine
#

so you say

keen dome
#

You have to do content to get the gilded crests to upgrade the items, too

dusk stone
#

so we still have the extra 5%? there was suppose to be maintenance today

vale pine
#

if you have your premium loot for 2 or 3 months

#

someone else who already isn't competing with you in output or anything

lucid jackal
#

It's not about competing its about the principal

spiral needle
#

My gatekeepy reason for not giving out BIS mythic raid loot is they will just tune the next tier around everyone having it, making normal clears mandatory longer than necessary for Mythic raiding

lucid jackal
#

If ur not going to do the hardest content in the game, why are you getting the best loot in the game

vale pine
#

makes you unhappy to get one good item upgraded to mythic

#

dracthyr_kek thats pathetic

#

but what do i know

lucid jackal
#

Thats not what I'm unhappy about lol

warm compass
vale pine
#

then explain it to me

warm compass
#

Pay the same for the game

#

Why not

honest saddle
#

Isnt the point of gear to be able to do hard content? The gear by itself is worthless.

warm compass
#

Type mindset

vale pine
#

you complain that you don't want somone to get gear, gear is a means to an end

warm compass
#

It's a have and have not mindset

fierce cedar
#

man echoing void is kinda shit lol

keen dome
#

You can literally pay $$$ to get carried and buy the item. Like, it renders this whole idea of it having any kind of preistge moot.

vale pine
#

and this someone else would not compromise your achivements or anything else

small inlet
#

got the CE at last boys Surebud

lilac stag
fierce cedar
#

i did 0.5% damage with echoing void on my Mugzee kill

lilac stag
#

earn the gear

vale pine
#

i mean again

#

if its just about getting high item level loot

warm compass
vale pine
#

you can craft almost max level gear

warm compass
#

95 percent wont like that

lilac stag
#

don’t trivialize CE gear

#

it’s legit BLP

#

Not free loot

vale pine
#

crafting is the biggest pain point if gear should not be achivable outside of the content levels you play

lucid jackal
#

Why have gear at all

#

Just make everybody have the same ilvl go up every week

bleak night
#

the problem is this argument immediately falls apart if the bis trinkets were from m+ instead of raid

swift tinsel
#

now we're talkin

warm compass
lucid jackal
#

Just make this game have no gear no nothing

#

Fuck it bro

lilac stag
honest saddle
lilac stag
#

and they rarely are

bleak night
lilac stag
#

and?

vale pine
#

i mean gear is just a temporary power grind

warm compass
#

Think all gear should be 1/14 like dinars

#

Choose what to upgrade

dusk stone
keen dome
lucid jackal
#

Wow has been a game for 15 years about "temporary power grinds"

bleak night
#

why are we mad about the sub rogue being able to get hoc from a boss they havent killed but not mad about a sin rogue being able to just buy signet from doing 12s

#

how does that make sense

lilac stag
#

The CE gear is going to last a week or two max

bleak night
#

the gear is the same value

vale pine
#

isn't the discussion that some people should not be able to grind/upgrade to a certain level because e.g. they did not kill the last boss of the raid

lilac stag
#

and should be a reward for those that actually got there

vale pine
#

i am a bit lost

lilac stag
#

Not every 3/8 mythic guild

warm compass
vale pine
#

what makes you unhappy if someone else gets one single gear piece

lucid jackal
#

If u haven't killed the boss on mythic, U shouldn't get access to the loot

warm compass
#

Think also people would be happier if all the gear wasnt stuck on last three

lucid jackal
#

thats my opinion

warm compass
#

Thats worth a damn

vale pine
#

at a point in the season you already don't rly play anymore and completed everything

lilac stag
#

dear lord. @lucid jackal and I in agreement.

spiral needle
#

Because the effects of it will bleed over into the next season

lilac stag
#

earn your damn gear

swift tinsel
#

or pay for the boost

lilac stag
#

there are 80 billion options for gearing

fallow nimbus
#

man that thrill when you see 2 td back to back

warm compass
dusk stone
#

500$ mythic house of cards

swift tinsel
#

I mean you can

lucid jackal
lilac stag
#

Sorry you’re missing out on the extra 1-2%

warm compass
warm compass
#

lel

vale pine
#

i still don't rly get the concern

lilac stag
#

people that want the handouts don’t have a clue the work that goes into CE

dusk stone
#

i think the actual issue is that bis raid gear is bis gear for content outside of raid

spiral needle
#

I seriously doubt anyone against giving mythic raid gear to everyone would be "unhappy" about it. It would just effect next season's balance

lucid jackal
#

The concern is that wow is a game about doing hard content to get good gear

#

handing out mythic gear to everybody removes that entire paradigm

dusk stone
#

like is the complaint really that you can't get the eye of kezan for m+

vale pine
#

if you only do hard content for gear, then you play the game very diffrent to me

#

but well

lucid jackal
#

Okay fuu why not make it so that the vault always give mythic gear, ignoring what cotnent u actually did?

lilac stag
#

the gear is part of the reward

warm compass
lilac stag
#

For the work

smoky jolt
vale pine
warm compass
vale pine
#

last time i did hear, there are more people playing ffo than wow

spiral needle
#

Expecting Blizzard to math out trinkets properly before 2 weeks into a season will only lead to disappointment though

dusk stone
#

or is the complaint more centered around already doing hard and not being able to have bis gear because of what type of content

vale pine
#

so i guess its not too bad

#

^^

keen dome
#

Blizz should've just communicated this system properly from the get-go instead of doing a fucking trash job of it. Which caused all of this contention around it.

lucid jackal
#

I don't play FF for a reason ICANT

dusk stone
#

like imagine if we got the trinkets from pvp instead

lilac stag
#

if you actually saw someone in vanilla with full tier 2, it actually meant something.

lucid jackal
#

More people play ret and bm than sub or feral

#

so should we just turn every wow spec into ret/bm?

dry plank
#

This guys talking about principals and other shit just earn money by boosting.

spiral needle
#

FF's current xpac is bombing, so I seriously doubt it has more players than WoW

dusk stone
#

just get the credit card for your house of cards and jastor diamond

#

then the whole thing is invalid

keen dome
#

It's not a bad bad luck system, although ti should be in from the get-go to, actually work as bad luck protection. But, man. Refering to it in any shape or form as the S4 DF stuff was their huge mistake.

vale pine
#

i think we can just move on to discuss something else

#

gear for me is still a means to an end, actually killing the boss is what i care about

keen dome
#

I propose we discuss something that really matters: Why do we, in 2025, not have a poison toggle.

dusk stone
vale pine
#

so if people put more value in gear and want to have it as a trophy, i guess you are the target audience for how dinar are designed

lilac stag
#

She would like to know where her free loot (cookies) are?!?!

keen dome
vale pine
#

we can agree to disagree on the topic

#

🤝

bleak night
keen dome
#

A friend of mine is leveling his Sub rogue.

#

We're so back

spiral needle
#

Real question is will Mythic bosses drop trophy items for housing

#

to really make the casuals mad

dusk stone
#

i hope so

keen dome
#

Just get them in the next expansion. No biggie.

vale pine
#

think housing is not targeted at the hardcore

#

so if they drop from bosses, then in lfr too

dusk stone
#

what is the name of the toy that changes your appearance including different races?

keen dome
#

Lotro had some cool stuff. I remember killing the Balrog raid boss and I got his giant sword to put outside my hosue

smoky jolt
vale pine
#

but what do i know, maybe you rly need to do mythic to get housing items and only get items in mythic

vagrant thorn
spiral needle
#

I'm mostly just curious if Blizzard opens that pandora's box. It'd be cool to kill a boss and be able to mount its head like a trophy or get a miniature Gazlowe mech to put somewhere

bleak night
#

my bet is theres a mix of stuff that'll drop at different difficulties

vale pine
#

so ye

dusk stone
#

the funny thing is i remember reading an article from long ago where a guy paid like 3,000$ for a bis sword from early wow

keen dome
#

I imagine AotC and CE will award something

bleak night
#

some drops in lfr and some from mythic

vale pine
#

the deisgn changed radically

keen dome
#

Might be as simple as a flag or something

dusk stone
#

and we are actually someone back to that path

keen dome
#

Like a "Hey you got this when it was currant. Here's something to coremorate it"

vale pine
#

ye possible

keen dome
#

I, personally, should get a speical one since I do AotC entirely via pugging.

bleak night
#

yeah a straight jacket

vale pine
#

maybe they do color variations depending on raid difficulty

#

coild work too

keen dome
spiral needle
#

Something like that would be NSFW

shrewd lantern
#

There is a fun flavor grind this patch

#

the trenchcoat mogs

keen dome
#

Ye!

#

It's an interesting comparison

shrewd lantern
#

Even if i wanna gouge my balls

#

killing darkfuse goons

#

for hours

keen dome
#

Visions / Nigfall versus the Darkfuse rep grind

vale pine
#

on a diffrent node

#

*note

#

did anyone do og visions

keen dome
#

Yep

dusk stone
#

one thing thats missing from wow that i would like to see at least personally are speed run titles for raids

shrewd lantern
#

Yeah

swift tinsel
#

Undying ones were always cool too

swift tinsel
#

from wotlk

bleak night
#

i miss titles for server first max level

not that i ever got one

Yeah, they got so heavily cheesed though

bleak night

but it was cool

I have a guildie who has a load of them.

Just gotta flex those fingers a bit.

dusk stone
# vale pine wcl has a ranking

i use to play swtor, in that game there was a title for completeing the raids in under 60 minutes this was kind of the presitge thing you got our equivalent of doing high end mythic raid

keen dome
#

Did you play at launch, Zorn?

#

Did you get to experience: Soa in all his glory

dusk stone
#

sadly no, i was 4.0 player

keen dome
#

Alas.

#

He was so broken on launch and would float through a wall at low HP. Despawn the stairs down to him. Just.. disconnect you.

bleak night
#

i never managed to get to end game in swtor

keen dome
#

incredible raid fight.

bleak night
#

the stories were fun though

keen dome
#

I have the Hutt's hat somewhere

vale pine
keen dome
#

Yeah, but you know what it has that Wow can only dream of having?

#

Tower of Hanoi raid boss

fallow nimbus
#

man swtor was so fun, hutt ball is the best bg i've ever played

dusk stone
#

what im saying though is that it was actually a good reward for completing crazy hard content

dusk stone
keen dome
#

There's a boss where you have to solve a tower of hanoi puzzle to debuff the boss for his damage phase. So one player sits up top doing the puzzle the whole fight lmao

bleak night
#

thats funny

keen dome
#

I was the tower of hanoi guy in my raid group

bleak night
#

reminds me of the bosses in ffxiv where you have to do simple math to pass a mechanic

fallow nimbus
#

i had some giga troll sith marauder build that rooted you on the blastfields

vale pine
#

i am kinda sad that the lol mmo got iced

bleak night
#

and watching everyone fail said simple math

vale pine
#

would have been a propper competition for wow and ffo

keen dome
spiral needle
#

To be fair, that simple math boss is more confusing because it isn't clear what you're supposed to do

keen dome
#

One of the raid bosses is a Hutt in a giant battlemech

dusk stone
#

swtor was crazy good, just poorly made and under developed

#

it was sad

#

brontes nightmare was a 6 month progression kill for some guilds

swift tinsel
#

I go back to it now and again for nostalgia

fierce cedar
#

0.8% Echoing void on Gallywix. thats a bit better

bleak night
#

it definitely had the potential to be way bigger

dusk stone
#

a single boss alone

swift tinsel
#

'the wow killer'

dusk stone
#

it could have been if they didnt have the subtlety developer for a content designer

fierce cedar
#

thinking about how Rito minetize their game

#

500 dollar skinns left and right

#

yeah sounds about right

vale pine
#

i don't care about their moneytization

fierce cedar
#

i see

vale pine
#

i play games for fun

fierce cedar
#

i think its a big deal but thats me

dusk stone
#

if a game was actually competitive with wow, wow would have to raise the stakes

vale pine
#

if they have 50$ skins and people buy them

swift tinsel
#

paying for skins is whatever if there's no power behind them

bleak night
#

cosmetic monetization is whatever

vale pine
#

if its f2p for everyone, i am fine with that

swift tinsel
#

and swtor is pure cosmetic

dusk stone
#

some games entire economies revolved around skins, it was actually fine

fierce cedar
#

i think the cosmetic thing is pretty stupid. the prices are insane

swift tinsel
#

besides some of the boosts for xp

#

well people pay it

vale pine
#

i am against gambling things like loot boxes, but they have sadly become a common f2p option too

fierce cedar
#

70 dollar horse anyone?

swift tinsel
#

and that will always exist

dusk stone
#

the wow gear thing really does come across as a content engagement farm

like wow

fallow nimbus
fierce cedar
bleak night
#

i mean yeah the prices are stupid, but it doesnt hurt my enjoyment of the game for there to be overpriced cosmetics for me to ignore

vale pine
#

i think having store mounts priced high is not good

fierce cedar
#

i dont buy any of it

swift tinsel
#

I bought a mount

fierce cedar
#

sub is all i need baby

vale pine
#

because the game is already supported by a decently high monthly subscription

swift tinsel
#

in like cata

dusk stone
#

in terms of like pure engagement we are more similiar to runescape 3 in how long it takes to get bis and what the gear means

vale pine
#

so a 80$ ah mount is a bit excessive

#

and feels out of place

fierce cedar
vale pine
#

if wow was f2p however

#

why would i care

swift tinsel
#

yeah I couldn't justify buying the longboi

vale pine
#

i am not paying a cent to play

dusk stone
#

what feels out of place is 60$ boost to level 70

keen dome
#

I'm amazed they've not done WoW F2P up to level 70 or something

#

Basically give out all content pre-new expansion as F2P

swift tinsel
#

its 20atm isn't it?

keen dome
#

YEah

bleak night
#

hopefully my grandchildren will be able to tell me about the league mmo and if it managed to kill wow

keen dome
#

I guess the argument as to why they don't is: they don't need to so why would they

fierce cedar
#

thats why i stay away from f2p. i can stay away from all that stuff

keen dome
#

But it'd be cool

fierce cedar
#

at least as much as possible

swift tinsel
#

f2p is nice if you're wanting to get a lil nibble of a game

#

or if it isn't massively gating content behind the sub

One of the most devilish and sneaky decisions: toggle helmet is behind a premium status

And SWTOR has a LOT of horrible looking hats

swift tinsel

idk if I have any games I want to play

been kinda nice not playing wow or replacing it with something else

I love the lore implications tho

My current game is joining Vexie pugs trying to parse on heroic

having all soulsborne characters be fair game

fallow nimbus
#

need to 1 phase her

swift tinsel
#

maybe I go back and do DS1-3 and Elden Ring again

dusk stone
#

its hilarious the extra 5% kind of broke us lol

swift tinsel
#

and by 1-3 I mean 1 and 3 and skip DS2

keen dome
#

And she died before my second SecTec in cooldowns during the amp

dusk stone
#

but maybe we just have the issue where we're so use to being bad lol

timid rivet
#

is this good for us ? sim good but i've see no sub with it (crit versa) idk if i go for it or better jastor diamond hero or/and crafted ring

fallow nimbus

was at 5mio right after the dmg amp

dusk stone

its not a particularly great ring

fallow nimbus

i did more dmg than the bikes

keen dome

Damn

I'm pretty confident I can end really high but just gotta find the ideal circumstances

dusk stone
#

im happy for you raiders that we are good in raid

#

if we dont get nerfed i might bother looking for a mythic guild

fallow nimbus
#

1 phase, adds and blast

keen dome
#

Ye. Ideal.

fallow nimbus

proc some td into adds

keen dome

Ideally with the raid properly stacked so all the bikes come in at a good angle and secTec can snap 'em as they hit the wall / go by

fallow nimbus

i need a 2nd helmet with socket, so i can go gw st and td rest

Remember that blizz can fix that +5% extra :(

shhhhh

They can't because I'm having fun

is the accidental 10% nerf reflected in raidbots currently?

there is no extra 5%

he said he can't wait

I can't either

Plan is still to play enhance with 0 prior knowledge or research

#

Just one button rotation

dusk stone

someone should make a youtube series about doing m+ from a ret paladins perspective, but actually play the bit

And terrorise pugs

So is sub cranking yet after Tuesday's buff?

keen dome

accidentally buffed the right amount

there is no right amount

Oh shit I need to go play before they realize 🤣

bright elk
#

if they do reduce the buff it would be cool to see them let us keep 7 or 8% lol

dusk stone
#

i suspect 3% nerf

vale pine
#

do we beat other rogue specs?

tender frost
#

on most fights it seems like it

fair viper
#

m+

tender frost
#

gally and mug for sure

shut jay
#

they'll nerf us 5% and then buff us 5% for 11.2 garf_sit

vale pine
#

i am curios

#

because the buff might be in line or like 2% ahead of others

round latch
tender frost
#

it certainly doesn't make the spec game breaking by any means

warm marlin
#

im pretty sure sub wins pure st as well i.e. sprocket

fair viper
#

its funny that we are still barely keeping up with ret or mage damage with the 10% in m+

vale pine
#

its like a 8-9% buff

fair viper
#

ye

vale pine
#

so ye makes sense that we are a lot more competitive

round latch
#

yup

#

sub's back

vale pine
#

i just wonder if we are outstanding, or just competitive

bleak night
#

obviously small sample size since its just one day

bleak night
#

but sub is doing very well lol

tender frost
#

its super skewed but they did jump significantly

hazy breach

Shockingly the spec looks better after a 10% buff garf

bleak night

ye amazing

lucid jackal

wait so ur telling me the spec wasn't 25% behind WHAT

Sampling bias is a thing WHAT

assume it goes up as more ppl play it but shrug

lucid jackal

probably goes down tbqh

fair viper
#

st output on m+ boss's are not what we ever see from any spec in m+ tho as our aoe talents are so close to st

lucid jackal
#

More people see how good it is, more bad players gravitate towards it, rather than just the sub diehards going back to the spec

bleak night
#

fotm will see sub doing well and bring it down some

spiral needle
#

Are people meming or did they actually overbuff sub on accident

bleak night
#

they actually did yes

lucid jackal
#

It got the 5% buff twice

bleak night
#

two 5% buffs

lucid jackal
#

So it got a 10% buff this reset

#

Not a joke

spiral needle
#

ok i thought i was losing my mind when I looked at last 24 hours of WCL

opal nest
#

are we sure it wasn’t on purpose

spiral needle
#

5% should have put them right at sin

tidal marsh
#

Just a cheeky lil meme pin by Eleem

tender frost
#

do they ever create a separate aura instead of just adjusting the base

#

seems kinda weird

bleak night
#

realz had to find a way to sneak in the extra for you guys

chrome palm
#

As long as there ain’t a wowhead article about it we good

lucid jackal
#

The spec is performing way better on average than even a 10% aura buff, just saying

#

Because of how sampling bias works

hallow ice
#

Crazy how a 10% aura buff doesn’t make it top dps still lol

Don’t wake me up from this dream.

next thing you know, realz will fix killing spree too

hollow spear
#

Is it called sampling bias? I thought that effect had a different name.

tender frost
#

it probably wasn't as bad as it looked pre buff tbf just nobody played it because you get better numbers on a diff spec

lucid jackal
alpine wraith

damn forgot to black powder on first 4 min adds

#

rip parse

warm marlin
#

i sent my cold blood sectec on the 7min adds into a technician that got touch of deathed so none of the clones hit

hallow ice
#

Wasn’t sub thought to be the go to spec this tier at the beginning? What happened?

honest saddle
#

Everything else got buffed.

#

Sub didn't

lucid jackal
#

It was, then sin got buffed

#

Every other spec in the game also got buffed

#

More and more good players swap and default to sin on everything, because its a smidge better

#

Average go down

hallow ice
#

The passive cleave of sin and the execute make it a more desirable profile as well I imagine?

lucid jackal
#

No

#

On mugzee yes

warm marlin
#

well sub also passive cleaves

lucid jackal
#

Every other boss it didn't matter

#

Onlyr eason is cuz sin was tuned higher than sub

warm marlin
#

assa cleave is better in some cases because caustic being funny hehe

spiral needle
#

Sub was go to until priority add damage stopped mattering

#

Then sin takes over

keep in mind it’s also the die hards playing it the first 24 hours

all that graph tells me is aug needs more nerfs

next week will be interesting to see with more parses

warm marlin

seems about right to me

bleak night
#

me when 10% buffed spec goes up by 10%

spiral needle

It'd be kind of funny if they just let it ride since sub still isn't #1

fair viper
# lucid jackal

what angers me is that we are not even broken with the 10%

spiral needle
#

need hoc more than ever

lucid jackal
#

How do u get buffed and be upset

#

U genuinely need to fix your brain

warm marlin
#

I think sub is pretty strong in raid with the 10% idk

#

ur top 3 on most fights

lucid jackal
#

Its very strong lol

tough knot

We were buffed 10% and not gapping everyone else? Refund now, blizz

you dont want to be "broken"

thats how you get nerfed

alright now thats too far

keen dome
#

I did another Vexie before realizing I'm in the wrong talents.

warm marlin
#

you do a little bit of contrarian ragebaiting sometimes for sure

spiral needle

the correct answer is to leave sub as is so sin once again gets buffed past it

actually good point

That's a tier list alright

legion was bad until last season

SL was amazing, it made me stop playing and improve my life

lucid jackal

So wrong it hurts

tough knot
#

Throw legion and BFA on shit tier and I agree with you there

plush roost
#

W expac

spiral needle
#

everyone forgets getting stuck with awful legos and grinding the ship dungeon for AP

keen dome
#

Putting WoD sqaurely in Good is accurate though

lucid jackal
#

Anybody who hates legion seems to forget how amazing the M+ systems, class halls, and artifact weapons were

tough knot
#

Wod was good if you liked raiding and having time to play other games

vale pine
#

i mean we all know that DF was mid at best ^^

spiral needle
#

ok it introducing M+ is a strong point

vale pine
plush roost
#

Artifact weapons were super cool

#

Ap grinding was not

spiral needle
#

but im biased because my BIS lego was my last lego

A big factor on enjoying Legion seems to be if you got your good legendary from the get-go or suffered

AP grind only existed for tryhards

none of u were tryhards back then so its a fake critism

hot take. Titanforging was not a problem

lucid jackal

No expac is gonna compete with midnight tho cuz housing is literally going to save WoW

bleak night

so one core system

lucid jackal

M+, the vault

that's a pretty important system

Pet battles are core to my ToP experience now

Housing can be a big draw for casual players yeah

housing can be a big draw for anyone who doesnt hate fun

Only house I need is the fking house of cards

there's absolutely gonna be someone who get sinto mythic raiding just because of housing

wow just needs to get rid of some restrictins

NIght elf shamans when

Yeah, more players at the base means more players at the top

make pugging mythic not such a pain in the ass

west tide

i heard sub is the goat in mop classic

#

real and true?

keen dome
#

Absolutely

alpine wraith
#

it is quite bad until last raid

#

and then you only really play sub in 2 bosses because of bitch mechanics

#

garrosh and darkfuse

#

although you can play it on others just will do less than combat

hollow spear

I remember playing combat in siege

west tide

ok so combat the goat gotcha

oh you can also play it on the scorpion

ill be combat focused we up

bleak night

stop focusing and answer him

lilac stag
dusk stone

you need other set pieces tho

lilac stag
#

You don’t craft chest

#

Gloves if anything.

swift tinsel
#

Gloves if anything tier-slot

lucid atlas
#

i already crafted cloak and feet but got no sockets do I still go with focusing lens embellishments

dusk stone
#

why no craft chest?

swift tinsel
#

Because

keen dome
swift tinsel
#

Gloves are they worst itemized tier slot

dusk stone

i had to eat the haste gloves sure, but 10ilvl of chest matters the most aside from legs no?

The item is called Magnificent Jeweler's Setting, if you don't know it. It adds one, then a second socket to all rings / necks.

Haven’t checked AH boots lately

Might not be crazy priced anymore

lilac stag

700k

swift tinsel

Ah that’s nothing

lilac stag
#

They’re only .1 better than tier boots (heavy vers lows haste)

hollow spear
#

With how many sparks we got, might as well save the gold and craft

lilac stag
#

They’re like .2 better than crafted

#

Minimal shit

hollow spear
#

Call me crazy, but I'm not spending 700k on .2

swift tinsel
#

Ye crafting is ez esp this late

dusk stone
#

hero chest and crafted gloves are a trap

hollow spear
#

I'd still never craft a chest

#

Like what

#

The second you get myth tier, it goes straight into the bin

alpine wraith
#

just be like iw as going to be and spend 5 mil for leech

#

kek

dusk stone
#

yeah, if you get myth chest

hollow spear
#

Crafted myth gloves are there to stay

lilac stag
#

Fantasy island. That’s the last thing you’d craft. There’s a ton of chests in vault

dusk stone
#

i have not seen a singular one in vault

lilac stag
#

Get better vaults

keen dome
#

It took me ages to see a Myth chest, but there wasn't a point where crafting a Gilded was better than Myth gloves + heroic chest

hollow spear
#

Holy moly, my sim loves crit/vers

brittle plinth
#

So my take away is cata random myth boots into tier boots?

#

I'll sim yo momma @lilac stag

#

Jk

dusk stone
#

i ended up having to forgo like two weeks of stuff because i took crafted gloves

keen dome
#

This conversation made me remember I never actually cata'd my Vexie boots

brittle plinth
#

I have it's not worth over crafted

keen dome
#

I thought I did ages ago and obviously forgot, so I've been using the Big Haste low versa version lmao

dusk stone
#

but yeah like i said if you don't have access to chest don't craft gloves

#

so this is why ffs

** Hotfix**

It seems like there was a hotfix pushed to fix the accidental double buff.
