#

They did it right after we killed mugzee and I didn’t get to blow my load onto the stacked adds in the end because my raidleader said we aren’t finger gunning them

#

Guess what our dk did

#

Finger gun them

lilac stag
#

kekw

jaunty heath
#

And I’m on the opposite side garf

lilac stag
#

i was prison bitch

tender frost
#

aight to follow up on this it looks like reel assistant damage is being filtered by wcl?

#

oh its damage done sub 25% prob nvm im dumb

wicked urchin
#

our warrior has been out for 2 weeks

#

this is tragic

obtuse orbit
#

if simming for gally, do you do hectic cleave or patchwork?

tribal blade
#

too often

obtuse orbit
#

i thought so but wanted to ask

tribal blade
#

instead of simming just look up what top parsers are doing/running on the fight

obtuse orbit
#

thanks!

vale pine
tribal blade
#

that's the holding cds for the first 30 seconds of the fight iirc

vale pine
#

Think it's a bit longer even but ye

bleak night
#

adds need to die

vale pine
#

True true

haughty mural
#

Me thinks the problem is perception

#

Most people go zugzug - and if players won’t have high parses they must be bad
And in order to have good parses you often have to pad ur ass off

bleak night
#

if im not high on details whats the point in living

haughty mural
#

To kill bosses with 100 pulls less ?

#

(Jk)

bleak night
#

100 pulls of less damage

haughty mural
#

It’s all bout the numbers i know

runic trail
bleak night
#

i'll pull the boss 500 times if im topping details

#

the only thing that matters

warm marlin
#

The only boss this tier u can really pad is gallywix at this point

bleak night
#

is the bar

haughty mural
#

Earlier there were other bosses too

warm marlin
#

Yes certainly

haughty mural
#

But now only gally is left true

obtuse orbit
#

yea i care less about a parse and just killing the boss since its prog. I just wasnt sure how simming that fight works. i was thinking of swapping to sub instead of playing sin but wasnt sure how it looked personally so wanted to compare

runic trail
haughty mural
#

It’s the same thing early prog when ranges zugzug melee barrels for a lot of guilds and then wiped because of range barrels or smth like that

#

Small example

#

*on rik

obtuse orbit
warm marlin
vale pine
haughty mural
#

Yea absolutely

warm marlin
#

You can still do good boss damage on sub if you play for it on gally

#

and execute doesn’t particularly matter

runic trail
vale pine
#

Would suggest players switch to boss damage

warm marlin
#

well boss damage does matter on gallywix

#

maybe less now but every second you take off you remove risk of a cuff bomb player making a mistake

runic trail
#

Yeah but in terms of enrage times, it's chill

warm marlin
#

yea

vale pine
#

I mean people did think I was lying when I mentioned secret techniques not being attributed correctly on cauldron in my guild. Even tho there is a 21 damage source, a instance of it, in the log.

#

Don't expect people to put in effort when looking at logs.

#

(officers typically do, but your average player does not care)

bleak night
#

all wipes, overall damage done, big bar gud

tribal blade
#

that does kinda make sense i guess

#

like sometimes on prog bosses i'll be doing the most damage across all wipes

#

and then on the kill something happens that destroys my parse

runic trail
tribal blade
bleak night
#

i always know when we're going to kill a boss

#

because it'll be the first time i die in 100 pulls

runic trail
wet haven
tribal blade
#

boom boss dies

#

eternal suffering

#

i got a rank 12 bandit kill today

#

and that pull i messed up at the start and screwed up consuming a mark

#

not a huge mistake, but still i was like "bleh this is gonna be the kill isn't it"

runic trail
#

Our bandit reclear we didn't have a shaman uglyassdog

#

There's never a shaman

runic trail
#

They don't fucking exist

tribal blade
#

i did the hearth out and swap to sub tech for a 19 rookery that didn't have a shammy in it

#

and it felt so bad

#

so, so bad

keen dome
tribal blade
#

i wonder how much dps i lost screwing up that 1 mark consume

#

prob not a great deal, but considering how the entire hero tree revolves around rotating through marks and getting DN as much as possible

#

who knows

haughty mural
tribal blade
mental dune
#

ran into myth raid for the first time n it felt like the game was just EATING all my inputs
dont think ive ever had it struggle to register dance or blades this much before
peak chaos but still pretty fun

haughty mural
#

I wish there would be notes today

lilac stag
tribal blade
#

it's so much work changing specs

#

i'm but a helpless rogue

tribal blade
#

can you change specs for me

#

i'm so tired

#

send help

vale pine
tribal blade
tepid trellis
tribal blade
#

revoke my sub badge

#

i've become what i was sworn to destroy

lilac stag
#

@vale pine change his color. kekdog

north schooner
#

is there a shame role yet? (other than assassination - bleed build)

lilac stag
runic trail
#

Bleed build is fun fight me

north schooner
tribal blade
#

it's fun until you get to reasonably high keys and get asked "No KB?!?!?!"

#

when you join a group

lilac stag
#

such a shame they’re never going to fix the fucking spec rework

remote shuttle
keen dome
runic trail
#

And life is okay

tribal blade
runic trail
#

It's a good thing I only run 12s, I'm safe to bleed

tribal blade
#

outlaws are at least mega sweating pressing a billion buttons a minute

runic trail
#

Not ran a m+ since the turbo boost and life is okay

remote shuttle
#

Ye

#

My hands are so glad i don't even touch law spec button

tribal blade
#

no more random power bumps left at least

#

except maxing out belt

lilac stag
#

I still need renown 19. Fucking 2499 bullshit

runic trail
#

The constant drip feed of power has been never ending

lilac stag
#

Can’t wait to not be able to get renown 20

tribal blade
#

it was annoying for pushing keys because it made all the work you did irrelevant

#

keeping you on the hamster wheel more

vale pine
runic trail
lilac stag
#

Company is a joke

#

Their support is abysmal

#

QA is non-existent

#

If there’s no renown gains after rank 20 there’s gonna be a lot of very angry people

lilac stag
#

They clearly have the tools as they adjusted the exploiters

plucky parrot
#

!wa

mental dune
#

does it matter if i happen to dance --> backstab --> symbols --> evis instead of doing symbols into backstab?
tends to happen a lot if i have 15-ish seconds left on sectec cd

tepid trellis
#

nah thats fine

#

just remember to not evis first, in the big goes, in those you actually want Sectech as the first finisher

mental dune
#

like the 1st finishers after dances during blades?

remote shuttle
#

You sec te and After that Blade,to save 1 sec of Blade buff

tepid trellis
#

yes Sectech should be your first finisher inside of Shadow dance during flag/blades windows

remote shuttle
#

Sec tec (1st dancing finisher) , then u Press shadowblade to buff 1st builder After sec tec to generate max cp

hazy breach
#

Theres no difference pressing shadowblades after or before sectech anymore

remote shuttle
#

Does Blade buff sec tec (iirc doesn't)

hazy breach
#

It does

remote shuttle
#

Uh? Was fixed? Missed that

hazy breach
#

Yes in .1

tepid trellis
#

quite awhile ago

remote shuttle
#

Darn i totally missed that info im dumb

#

Oky ty buds

tepid trellis
remote shuttle
#

So... SD symbol backstab Blade+sectec shuriken and etc

mental dune
#

sorry but whats the talent interaction that makes it better to have sectec be better as first finisher during blades?

remote shuttle
#

Ofc hoc same time with blades

remote shuttle
#

Flawless form buff stacks

tepid trellis
#

sectech lets you bypass the cooldown on unseen blade procs

#

for 2 stacks

#

and to get it on cd so you have it ready for the next dance, that you do back2back

#

essentially just this

mental dune
#

ahhhh ok
so im fine having like 3-ish seconds where im not in dance during my blade window?
generally after the first dance sectec still has 20 seconds left so ive been doing dance-backstab-evis-symbol-shadowstrike-evis-shadowstrike-sectec
just so dance is always active during cd window

hazy breach
#

No you should dance back-to-back

tepid trellis
#

the 2nd dance if you arent playing TFD, its gonna be around 18 sec or so

#

so you insta dance again

#

wait with symbols until sectech is at 10 or less

#

like this

mental dune
#

ok so what im doing is correct then?
this is mainly for raid specifically where tfd is run way less

lilac stag
#

You should run TFD on everything but gally

tribal blade
lilac stag
#

even on mugzee you have some down time and press storm so TFD will win out.

vale pine
tepid trellis
#

you should not be pressing storm on mugzee

tepid trellis
mental dune
#

in mythic? i woulda imagined that when fights are 4-5 minutes tfd wont be better

lilac stag
#

TFD cut off is closer to 5 at current gear

tepid trellis
#

its around 4-5 where the breakpoint is depends a bit on gear

remote shuttle
#

With tfd u can fit 2x sectec in 12sec of ur 1st dance, and then insta dance again so ur clones end up hitting on ur 2nd dance

lilac stag
#

Mugs is only one slightly over

#

And you won’t have 100% uptime on WM which sucks so just pump the opener.

tepid trellis
#

and have them publicly shamed

lilac stag
#

you can storm the army if bombs depending on strat outside of cds

#

Either or just run TFD

mental dune
#

so how do i play around that? just vanish n afk a few seconds before going into cds? (assuming at 1:30 or 3:00 in the fight)
or do i just not play around it n the first cd window is THAT much stronger with tfd

tepid trellis
#

it doesent reset

#

in raid (or boss fights in general)

#

you only get it for your first dance

lilac stag
#

TFD is very strong in comparison to all the other awful talent choices you have. That’s all there is to it.

tepid trellis
#

comparatively strong (cuz WM is dogshit)

lilac stag
#

It’s not amazing. Everything else is shit

#

I love this spec. kekdog

#

Can’t wait to relearn timings for reclear next week. Pepegrin

runic trail
#

Gonna need to try out TFD then, just been running base weapon master spec

#

Hopefully it ain't gonna throw me off too much

mental dune
#

so to clarify
having dance up 100% during blades should be prioritized above having sectec be the first finisher after dance during cds?

short radish
#

i'd be happy for you

#

wait no

wicked joltBOT
#

Here are some common mistakes and how to spot them in your logs:

  • Go into your log, press Timelines and Casts to the right like this
  • Every single Flagellation & Blades window should look like the opener in this picture. Coup, shadowstrikes and eviscerates can move around a bit depending on procs, but all the other spells should be used exactly like this.
  • Make sure you always get 8 globals off during your shadow dances. You can hover over your shadow dances to see the exact times they start, and then see if your 8th spell is within 8 seconds of that.
  • If your shadow dance and/or symbols wasnt ready in time to be used like in the picture above you used too many in between your burst.

i am happy for you

keen dome
#

He's a purple assa rogue

lilac stag
#

Nah. He’s a boomer assa rogue. Just wants to be purple. The word betrayal was used.

tepid trellis
mental dune
#

ok perfect
lowkey kinda disappointing though
like im glad ive been doing it right but also im really trying to figure out where im missing out on damage

lilac stag
#

You can use !log

#

my guess is if you’re doing everything right you’re not add padding

#

on whatever flights still allow for it

#

or your kill times suck

tepid trellis
#

dmg will blow if you arent lining up dances with pad

#

it is what it is

runic trail
#

No room for ethical DPS HOLY

mental dune
#

TRUEEE
my myth logs are kinda stinky but im pretty sure my uptime was just bad since i had never seen the fights before so i was just scrambling to not die

but yeah my assumption for heroic has just been that my kill times have been bad
just really wishing it wasnt that

lilac stag
#

rogue dmg in general just bad

#

Belt made it worse

#

can we has lightning back

runic trail
#

Does the belt benefit other classes better or something?

#

Or do we scale badly?

lilac stag
#

Outlaw running reg belts still garf_sit

#

maybe that changed this week

tepid trellis
#

outlaw is a special breed

#

pretty belt is around 2% for most classes

lilac stag
#

it’s a nothing burger upgrade for assa and sub

mental dune
#

current fastest vexie kill for me is a 2:52
n i got a 92 on that
so i cant tell if thats a me issue or a group issue
(heroic)

lilac stag
#

Vex is is how well carts are stacked. Did you hit amp phase and adds

#

At least assuming add dmg still counts

#

I forget what vex looks like.

keen dome
#

Also having her die right in your cooldowns

#

My 99 on heroic was a 1:59

lilac stag
#

and yeah 3 min kill time is sloooooow

keen dome
#

huge part of it is stacking adds though

lilac stag
#

Boss in middle of the room? Haha nice blue parse

#

get fucked melee

mental dune
#

i think she did die within 5 seconds of cd ending but someone whiffed a bike so it delayed it a boatload
other pain points have been cauldron which has been like 4 minute
and rik which was 3:30

im assuming for a really good rik kill it just kinda needs to die before intermission or else you lose half a mill?

rare shell
#

!wa

wicked joltBOT
keen dome
#

Also hero on pull

#

My best was a 5.2m kill but I've yet to come close to that again because pugs are so chaotic

lilac stag
#

Nice 10% buff cope

#

I’m just glad we’re done. I think we’ve got 4 people to get ce in still

keen dome
#

Nice

runic trail
tepid trellis
#

im prolly clearing on shaman this week

runic trail
#

With the people who are incapable of surviving intermission uglyassdog

tepid trellis
#

need it ready for splits next tier

lilac stag
#

I fear reprogging bandit

runic trail
#

But yeah I wish we'd just do multiple reclears with one or two bench warmers in at a time instead of one big reclear with all of them at once

lilac stag
#

I think we’re doing 2 at a time. Not swapping out 20% of raid

runic trail
#

Every single one

#

It took 30 attempts to re-kill bandit uglyassdog

#

I don't wanna prog again man

lilac stag
#

Slam you head against mechanics with dps Pepegrin

tepid trellis
#

thats almost the same as my prog pulls

lilac stag
#

I don’t even remember what spec I was for bandit omegalul

keen dome
#

outlaw

lilac stag
#

I think I went assa. We needed the execute

runic trail
#

But yeah even on bandit half of them just... Fuckin' died, so mugzee is gonna give me an aneurysm

tepid trellis
#

mug i feel like is easier now than bandit is

mental dune
#

im having opposite issue
going into mythic for the first time and trying real hard to not completely whiff my trial
doing the later bosses completely raw and having good enough damage is rough
was feeling totally lost

tepid trellis
#

bandit is just cringe

lilac stag
#

If we spend more than one night on reclear I’m going to combust

keen dome
#

That's mage talk

runic trail
tribal blade
runic trail
#

We've had to tell the Ret Pala, 'yeah, you're bubbling here'

tepid trellis
#

so bunch of tries at not standing in lightning

tepid trellis
#

heard it works wonders on that mechanic

#

or get the stop sigh WA

tribal blade
#

haha i got the stop WA

tepid trellis
#

if you are too stupid to look yourself

tribal blade
#

but also now i just use my eyes

#

it's crazy

runic trail
#

Sometimes the mines call to me

#

I grew up near a coal pit. I yearn for the mines

#

It's in my blood

lilac stag
#

I’m happy we’re reclearing, but my excitement for next tier is all time low.

tribal blade
#

reclearing mugzee didn't go so hot today

mental dune
#

is tuning that bad?
the raid itself looked pretty fun

lilac stag
#

rogue is literally playing the same

tepid trellis
brittle plinth
#

Is there some sort of pvp flag bug? I got killed during a goblin spawn with warmode off.

runic trail
#

I see what awaits me tonight

tribal blade
runic trail
#

I just don't wanna prog again, I'm tired boss uglyassdog

tribal blade
#

granted we had a new tank in on the fight haha

#

a trial

#

and people swapping roles around

#

it was kinda chaos

tepid trellis
#

thats how long it took to reclear

runic trail
#

Fuck

tribal blade
lilac stag
short radish
#

ran TFD on rik and ended 2nd dance with only 2 stacks of tier

then proceeded to get the lightning circle as soon as i popped flag

#

actually just wanted to wipe the raid

runic trail
#

Rik can just fuck off, the slam is a straight up 'fuck your cooldowns button'

tepid trellis
#

there is a fix for this

#

stop tracking your tier

runic trail
#

I miss evasioning it

tepid trellis
#

cant get mad at what you dont know

short radish
runic trail
tepid trellis
#

dont press them until the mechanic has gone out?

mental dune
#

a wise man once said
luck is a skill

lilac stag
#

not playing rogue is luck

runic trail
tepid trellis
#

im used to it

lilac stag
#

we’re all just too emotionally attached in an unhealthy Stockholm Syndrome kind of way.

tepid trellis
#

i play abandoned class in wow

#

and in lost ark

runic trail
short radish
keen dome
#

rogue 4 life

runic trail
#

Also I gotta play the rogue through story quests etc. cos it's jarring going through it on a rat alt and everyone going 'oh it's the champion/saviour of azeroth'

#

And it's like fuck off this character hasn't done shit

mental dune
#

is the big issue with rogue right now just the mass of bugs + very needed QOL
like needing to stand behind boss/the way deathstalker mark functions/killing spree before ptr

i only started this season but the rotations themselves feel quite nice

haughty mural
#

You’ll get there eventually

warm marlin
#

every melee has to stand behind the boss fwiw

#

the bug notwithstanding

#

unless it’s a boss that can’t parry but this season most of the annoying ones to stand behind still can garf

runic trail
#

But I can't go behind him otherwise coins end up in weird places

warm marlin
#

I track the coin bait timer and dip back in front once I proc FW (or run out of time)

runic trail
#

Safer to just be in the right bait position

hazy breach
#

Then its only sub that needs to be behind garf

runic trail
#

Also aren't we just straight up not able to be behind next boss on dimensius?

vale pine
jade oasis
#

i geniunely thought tricks still gave a buff

#

(it should)

vestal escarp
#

Sub raid buff?????

short radish
#

i wonder how much the no parry sub buff

#

really is

wheat edge
jade oasis
#

it’s so odd our discord color is bright blue

#

we should be a purple for sure

short radish
#

purple are the big wigs in here though

wheat edge
short radish
#

you have 2 rogues in your guild 👀

wheat edge
#

Yeah

short radish
#

damn

jade oasis
#

they can have the bright blue if they’re so present

runic trail
#

But I'm breaking the pattern cos boy are we shit at killing adds sometimes

short radish
#

ecks dee

runic trail
hollow spear
#

Playing sub won't solve that problem if your ranged dps are allergic to swapping to far adds

warm marlin
hollow spear
#

If it wasn't for me or our WW, ranged dps would have been top melee add padders

runic trail
#

That's all I can do

#

Rest of it is out of my hands

#

It's an uphill battle

lilac stag
#

me and the DH. Ranged add patrol. 🚨

tribal blade
#

i forgot to check, did we get any notes

#

or is that a really stupid question to ask

#

(it's a really stupid question to ask)

keen dome
#

What does your heart tell you

tribal blade
#

it tells me sad face

keen dome
#

👍

runic trail
#

It tells me notes are coming next week

hazy breach
#

So no, but neither did anybody else

tribal blade
#

cool cool

#

i'm actually kinda excited, maybe we do get something big

keen dome
#

We'll get new animations

#

Calling it now.

tribal blade
#

i would be very surprised, but would be dope

runic trail
#

Give us a glyph to let shadow technique clones do the DFA animation

#

Do it

vale pine
#

Only change I read about was the revert of the 90 sec cooldown resets

runic trail
#

Was that the one for classic?

vale pine
#

Yes

runic trail
#

Did they give any reason why they removed it?

#

Curious if it broke something majorly

idle aurora
#

Do yall blades before or after dance the rotation shows blades dance sec tec but when I dance blades sec tec my Window is higher on the LE tracker thing

charred sandal
#

both dance and blades are OGCDs u can do em at same time

idle aurora
#

Hrrm I should put dance and blades into my blade button just so I can react quicker maybe

hazy breach
#

Ideally you do dance > backstab > blades+sectech

idle aurora
#

Blades before sec Tec right?

#

You’d want it before damage?

charred sandal
#

ye u want to cover the sectech

hazy breach
#

Either before or like half a second later, either is fine

#

But before is easier

haughty mural
idle aurora
#

lol I hate that I can pull great numbers on dummies but in m+ where it counts and mob counts are higher get performance anxiety 😄

lilac stag
#

take a blue pill

charred sandal
runic trail
#

Can't expect to take a new spec into something and perform it perfectly, it takes time.

idle aurora
#

❤️ instead of dabbling I’m going full send sub for season 3 I really don’t care where it performs I should be able to do anything up to get a mix of 14/15 m+

oblique burrow
#

i'm subbing in case sub is best in raid or we need to kill adds fast

#

i'm ass rogue by heart and soul

idle aurora
#

lol I played ass for first time this season it was a load of fun. But my m+ group is giga cleave and we shred groups so fast they want me on prio dmg

#

Our boss fights are….long

runic trail
tribal blade
idle aurora
#

I was playing bleed and it seemed like my boss dmg was PAINFUL

tribal blade
#

even with bleed build you should be doing decent prio

idle aurora
#

Uh oh time to check other peoples logs lol

tribal blade
#

but try the hybrid build, it's very high prio

lilac stag
#

it's just math lol

idle aurora
#

I must be doing something wildly wrong

#

Like dropping sanguine

tribal blade
#

i sometimes end up doing 40-50% of the group's dmg to prio mobs

lilac stag
#

sub has no really well defined role except for a couple of bosses

#

in keys

tribal blade
#

bleed doesn't have the crazy high prio from envenoms that hybrid has, but when you spread all your garrotes and ruptures and smack CT up you end up doing a lot from singular focus

idle aurora
#

My problem is on bosses I feel energy starved to keep everything running

lilac stag
#

you run bleed for dungeons where shit dies too fast

idle aurora
#

And I’m always below sanguine

tribal blade
#

bleed can be ok on boss dam, but it's awkward for sure

#

the hybrid build is a lot more consistent with doing decent ST

lilac stag
#

you really dont give a shit about sanguine

#

unless something magically changed

runic trail
tribal blade
#

plus if you're playing with a group and running sin they should be pulling trash into bosses whereever possible

runic trail
#

Does this mean I throw unethical shivs? Yes, yes it does

tribal blade
#

because sin gains an enormous amount of boss dam from having more targets, similar to arcane

lilac stag
runic trail
idle aurora
#

Thanks guys before s3 imma practice hybrid build and not focus on staying above 150 energy on bosses and see what happens

tribal blade
#

teh hybrid build is more stressful because you don't have subterfuge for leeway

#

on getting your mark out

lilac stag
#

we are the car salemen that talk you out of a sale

tribal blade
#

and only 6 seconds of IC to spread bleeds

idle aurora

Prophet which build should I play?

@warm marlin im embracing the afk downtime before flag. im probably doing it wrong but the burst just feels so fucking good

he is trying to get to HOF

i dont care if it's bad

lilac stag
tribal blade
idle aurora
#

Yah

tribal blade
#

but you should give hybrid a try

idle aurora
#

Ty!

tribal blade
#

it's the melee arcane mage

lilac stag
#

its genrally good to know how to play all three specs

tribal blade
#

you can omega gap everyone on prio dam

lilac stag
#

but sub aint make or breaking your HOF push

oblique burrow
lilac stag
#

if anything assa did this tier with mugzee

oblique burrow
oblique burrow
tribal blade
#

it's why sin is one of the most successful melee specs in the game atm

you're doing really high prio while maintaining high aoe

#

the dmg profile is extremely good

try hards gonna try hard looks at @tribal blade but you do you

#

it's not like you were trying to bring in an aug one trick over a dev

oblique burrow
lilac stag
#

hahah glhf

oblique burrow
#

Yeah, if it doesnt click, i'm fine with trying a new guild, still got time to apply

runic trail
#

But yeah at that level you can make any spec work so forcing off specs is... Not the issue

lilac stag
#

i'd start looking now for a side chick

runic trail
#

I'm learning sub mostly to be helpful, not out of being forced.

oblique burrow
#

Like i said, if it doesnt click, lots of guilds need rogues lol

lilac stag
#

i mean you were trying to avoid raiding and yet here you are

runic trail
#

I'm in prog burnout mode right now

#

Mostly cos we went straight from queen prog into undermine

lilac stag
#

your RL is a dumbass swapping out 25% of your raid

i'll try and update you how it goes

waits for that to get c/p into guild discord

oblique burrow
#

Lolz

#

There isnt enough rogue to be that irreplacable

lilac stag
oblique burrow
lilac stag
#

yes

#

2day CE old persons guild

#

lucky if we stay awake all 3 hours

oblique burrow
#

Noice

runic trail
oblique burrow
#

same and i'm 26 lol

lilac stag
oblique burrow
#

is mugz that annoying to reclear ?

lilac stag
#

yes, with new people especially

oblique burrow
#

Why ?

runic trail
#

200 pulls sprocket though uglyassdog

lilac stag
#

we had a weak rogue all season, but that didnt matter

oblique burrow
#

i hope i get good parses on reclear

lilac stag
#

ah sprocket was the one I was thinking of

runic trail
oblique burrow
#

so i can show what i'm made of 😄

runic trail
#

But yeah my guild are chill and like, I'm also bad at this game, so it's a good fit

#

Despite the pull counts

oblique burrow
#

can i see your warcraft logs mate? kinda curious

#

cause i dont think you're bad

runic trail
oblique burrow
#

75 is great

runic trail
#

I just have a tendency to panic mid pull and do stupid shit kekdog

oblique burrow
#

especially end of season

swift tinsel
#

Sprocket was where we ended lol

lilac stag
#

our final 4

oblique burrow
#

my previous guild is still progressing on sprocket

oblique burrow
tribal blade
oblique burrow
#

maybe its imposter syndrome

swift tinsel
#

we usually end up 3-4 mythic bosses in by the time we call it for the season

#

toying with the idea of pushing for more with a diff guild if we get walled hard

runic trail
#

But yeah I can do alright but a) I have a tendency to panic and b) I am shit at adapting to when things go awry so like, not the best.

lilac stag
#

we ended like 1800 wr. i think we could have done better but had a couple roster emergencies that set us back a little. bound to happen in a part time casual guild though

swift tinsel
#

how late in the evening do your guys' raids usually go?

lilac stag
#

we start at 8 central, usually pull by 8:15. done by 11

lilac stag
#

add in a 15 min break and it's basically 2.5 hours a night

swift tinsel
#

ah nice, yeah that's usually when we wrap up too but start at 9pm CST

#

about 2/3 of the guild is on the west coast so it's centered around their schedules

lilac stag
#

we swapped tanks on Sproken

#

so that was a bit of a setback. then we had one night both tanks were basically at the ER

swift tinsel
#

I think sprocken was where our roster rotation really bit us in the ass bc it was hard to get people on the same page if groups were changing up all the time. I watched a few of the prog nights and it looked like a mess

#

plus there were issues with whatever weakaura pack they were using

runic trail
#

Weakaura issues took up like 30 minutes a night on sprocket and stix

swift tinsel
#

our guild has to lean on them a bit heavier which is what it is

lilac stag
#

yeah thats basically built in

#

we swapped over to the Liquid setup and their patreon. cleared WA issues up

#

so worth it

swift tinsel
#

that's another reason why I'm toying with the idea of a different raiding guild that's a bit more mechanically reliable

runic trail
swift tinsel
#

had to spend an hour on vexxie week 2 bc people couldn't manage to ride bikes or place/clear oil

#

after oneshotting it our first attempt the week prior

oblique burrow
#

Damn that hurts

swift tinsel
#

There were a few nights like that, with those issues on Vexxie, shit bomb/beam handling on Cauldron, Rik barrels/mc's in intermission

lilac stag
#

very easy to see who isn't up to date

runic trail
lilac stag
#

you sub the guild basically

swift tinsel
#

ended up benching myself maybe a month and a half into mythic prog because I was getting too annoyed

runic trail
lilac stag
#

it'll list out who isn't up to date in raid

#

same as MRT just more visual

swift tinsel
#

can you map with Lorrgs links like MRT?

lilac stag
#

you can pull from your MRT note

#

so I went and found a setup that was send on pull and adjusted for later add sets because that's what we needed. our on pull adds were obliterated and made no sense holding

warm marlin
short radish
#

dont care im stretching my hands

#

nah i think i threw in a few

warm marlin
#

!

#

what is that coup

short radish
#

dunno

#

i think i fucked up a bit there

warm marlin
#

illegal

short radish
#

ye

#

shouldnt have cast it

#

next week i wont

lilac stag
#

you say that, but do you really mean it?

warm marlin
runic trail
warm marlin
#

10 lashings if I see another coup like that

short radish
#

gotta prep the alts for ~~splits ~~ sales

lilac stag
#

i think i'ma level the DH for kyveza spec

#

perma rogue since we can never find another

jade urchin
swift tinsel
#

dh is super fun anyways

#

and they're gonna blast next season

runic trail
lilac stag
#

like just now?

runic trail
#

I have asserted dominance.

runic trail
jade urchin
#

ive been the only rogue since amirdrassil HOLY

swift tinsel
#

if I don't play one we don't have one lol

lilac stag
#

we had two briefly, so then I ended up on warrior since we didnt have that. he went to warrior since that was his old main

swift tinsel
#

I think the last time we had two was amirdrassil

#

and I think that was the only tier we had two lol

lilac stag
#

our dh, dk and me are perma melee core

swift tinsel
#

at least since I've been raiding with them

#

I typically am except for season 1 where we had no mage so I swapped

#

learned quick I dislike ranged

hazy breach
#

Yeeee casting stinks

swift tinsel
#

its fine to fuck around on here and there

#

but yeah I'm not a caster main by any stretch of the imagination

hazy breach
#

Feels so empty standing out in ranged with nothing happening

swift tinsel
#

plus doing any open world stuff as mage sucks

#

its like rogue

#

plus their positioning is so easy and boring to solve

#

sometimes you step to the left or right

#

woo thrilling

#

unless you're playing priest or evoker and you can grip/rescue people to fuck with them

lilac stag
#

id enjoy running SV, until I needed to swap to the other two shitters

swift tinsel
#

I'm trying to settle on what I want to play in keys as an alt, leaning towards havoc or fdk

warm marlin
#

I like mage and spriest

swift tinsel
#

I played a bit of spriest in s3/s4 df and it was great

warm marlin
#

Been alting arcane recently and it’s been more fun than expected

swift tinsel
#

its the best mage spec so I get it

warm marlin
#

I played mage in cata classic too

hazy breach
#

Feral slaps

#

Would recommend

warm marlin
#

fire mage in cata is 💯

swift tinsel
#

because old combust was awesome

warm marlin
#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

make omegadot

#

now engulf does that as one big hit

warm marlin
#

We omega pulled a bazillion mobs in some dungeon power levelling a homie and I hit like 500k dps at 350 ilvl

swift tinsel
#

so much dopamine in one button

#

lmfao

warm marlin
#

Uncapped aoe HOLY

swift tinsel
#

imagine a world lol

#

maybe I try feral on ptr after work

#

been a few minutes since I played it

hazy breach
#

Think its might actually even be at 10 before mop

runic trail
warm marlin
#

Insane broken

#

You spread an omega dot to all targets near your prio one

hazy breach
#

Convoke is stinky, but besides that feral is real fun

hazy breach
swift tinsel
#

our old feral main had a weakaura that would 'grade' your convoke

#

and would /s

#

best was 'uninstall'

lilac stag
#

now you could do /s try turning on the 1-button rotation

swift tinsel
#

I wish you could import pictures of your own cat to add as a feral skin

#

I wanna play as my fat orange cat

candid mural
#

No new ptr build this week?

hazy breach
#

Week isnt over yet

hazy breach
#

Feral feels great outside of its 2 min cds and kinda ass inside it KEKWBASS

swift tinsel
#

yeah that's kinda how it felt when I played it in SL too

hazy breach
#

The opposite of sub

swift tinsel
#

I liked the bee builds way better

sullen hare
# swift tinsel best was 'uninstall'

our moonkin also uses that stupid shit, but he also uses a ton of other shitty spammy weak auras. I used to have him on ignore because certain things would literally fill the chat box

swift tinsel
#

I don't mind them if they aren't spammy but the minute they are homie gets muted lol

vale pine
runic trail
#

Never ending bites

idle aurora
#

lol I should suprise my guild by rolling into s3 as a feral Druid and explain I am now a bite rogue

swift tinsel
#

feral is often unironically solid in raid lol

idle aurora
#

Their rotation doesn’t seem entirely awful something hasn’t clicked with me yet I am not sure which buttons I need to remove lol

#

The single target builders and spenders vs ape builders spenders that are the same function break my brain with button bloat

swift tinsel
#

iirc the single target was just snapshot rip with bloodtalons and tiger's fury, snapshot rake with sudden ambush and tiger's fury, bite

#

replace rip with primal wrath in aoe

wicked urchin
#

Planning on doing some guild searching for next tier

swift tinsel
#

best of luck

wicked urchin
#

If I need to pick up an alt what would be a good choice coming from rogue?

swift tinsel
#

what do you like about rogue

#

if you want similar resource style feral or windwalker is pretty much exactly the same as energy/cp

#

with similar mobility

wicked urchin
#

I like the precise nature of sub a lot

#

WW was a thought

vagrant fulcrum
swift tinsel
#

do you want to stick with melee?

#

anecdotally sub rogues/rogues often end up playing arms warrior for some reason lol

wicked urchin
#

Melee ideally yeah

bleak night
#

ww is green sub

swift tinsel
#

if you have alts ready you can always hop on ptr and give them a shot to see what you might like going into next season

bleak night
#

90s spec, bunch of stupid small cds to track

#

match made in heaven

wicked urchin
#

no alts unfortunately, been a rogue otp since i remember

#

i have like, a level 72 ret pally lmao

swift tinsel
#

windwalker also has the mastery minigame which is pretty fun

#

I have problems with alts, I think I've had every class at max level since legion?

#

it is helpful though knowing other classes/specs' kits

bleak night
#

yeah

#

i make it a point to know other specs kits so i can more accurately flame them for playing poorly

vale pine
swift tinsel
#

for sure, I can absolutely see the crossover design-wise

#

if I do play mop classic I'd roll windwalker because they were very quirky at the outset

#

no autoattacking

#

had to Jab lol

#

plus old Tigereye Brew mastery was really cool

#

sniping with spinning fire blossom was super fun in pvp too

idle aurora
#

It’s like a rhythm game.

swift tinsel
#

I've always been a fan of it, it just seems to flow very well

idle aurora
#

Flying dragon punch can eff off tho

bleak night
#

ngl i fucking hate ww

#

but i get why people like it

idle aurora
#

As far as pure feels good rotations if you are alting away from rogue. Marksman.(energy) WW(energy combo), arms warrior just for how smooth and deliberate and satisfying the big hits and cleave is

wicked urchin
idle aurora
#

If you can memorize the 8 if then statements that make up arcane barrage and all the rotation nuances arcane is like watching a light show at a rave and feels extremely fun but is like the sub rogue of mage

#

Very hard to casually alt imo

idle aurora
warm marlin
#

all the big wa packs for arcane seem to have the hekili lite barrage helper thing

idle aurora
#

I am trying to not use poroms barrage helper and learn it cause when blizzard pulls the hooks it’s probably best to understand the rotation in full

#

There is a dude from liquid I think who has like a 2 hour you tube video where he trains a complete newbie from spell one on the dummies I highly recommend

warm marlin
#

I watched hopefuls video and it is very good

idle aurora
#

That’s it!!!!

#

It’s probably the best class explanation video I have seen in 20 years of playing wow

warm marlin
#

I don’t think I’ll need the helper for too much longer after the video, I can recognize most of the conditions on my own at this point

swift tinsel
#

I made my own version and just putting it together helped understand the conditions

#

where I don't even look or think about it

idle aurora
#

I have horrible adhd and learning complex things via reading a guide is painful for me. So I been very slowly going through the video it will still take me forever. Oohh id love to see that lol

swift tinsel
#

it was originally built for sunfury but the current iteration of arcane isn't really too complicated coming from that

wicked urchin
#

@warm marlin i keep having giga pulls on gally but we're struggling with reclear this week because two of our healers are out

#

and no warrior

#

and its making me so sad

warm marlin
#

at least you’re clearing this week garf

#

No warrior is omega cursed though

#

I will probably lose my all star rank being out for 3% week but it is okay

wicked urchin
#

almost 4.7m coming out of the first intermission add set with no warrior is so depressing

#

(and then wiping)

#

next week surely

wicked urchin
warm marlin
#

I am on vacation

#

Poor guild members got absolutely slaughtered on reclear without me

wicked urchin
#

rogues holding the guild together 🫡

warm marlin
#

Coincidence ofc but funny to sit out a week and watch a 3 hour slugfest for 6/8 after full clearing in 90mins for weeks garf

patent lichen
#

Rogue buff confirmed op

fleet wharf
#

damn that 3.6% dam reduction carrying you guys

wicked urchin

swift tinsel

Bingus buff OP

warm marlin
wicked urchin
#

im curious what my logs would be like in a stronger guild

swift tinsel
#

inc 5% nerf

#

I think about that too sometimes

#

I know mine get scuffed trying to do on-the-fly fixing for one reason or another

warm marlin
#

You can get a bit of an idea by truncating kill times lower

chrome palm
#

you dont know what 3 weeks in a parition without full clearing does to a man

warm marlin
chrome palm
#

me pulling up to sprocket

#

after 3 years

swift tinsel
#

Siegward ❤️

warm marlin
#

u guys just not reclear enjoyers?

chrome palm
#

yeah its currently no full clear without full clear buyers

swift tinsel
#

3559 WR baby 2ez

chrome palm
#

have sales slowed down for you too

warm marlin
#

mmm a little bit

#

Mostly the cuts

#

well way a bit cut wise since first ones ofc

#

we still have had a buyer for most bosses last month though

swift tinsel
#

how much is it for a single boss kill?

warm marlin
#

I just show up and hit the mobs

swift tinsel
#

based

warm marlin
#

I know gallywix was like 6 million a month ago though

#

We got 1.1mil cuts for our first sale after prog

#

Now it’s like 300k for 8/8

chrome palm
#

we had a lot of people go on vacation after tier so we were a little late to start sales

#

gold is kinda useless though

#

i just hope BoEs arent fucked up like this tier again

#

unobtainium

swift tinsel
#

there's a leather chest that's actually good in the next one

warm marlin
swift tinsel
#

likely going shoulders offpiece tho

#

at least that's been how sims have been shaping up for me so far

chrome palm
#

theres really good shoulders from early in the raid

swift tinsel
#

yeah

chrome palm
#

also 2nd boss dagger is nice

swift tinsel
#

we're kinda spoiled this tier again

#

yeah

chrome palm
#

it would be cool to see a cantrip dagger at some point

warm marlin
#

shoulders and mast vers dagger from same early boss EZ

chrome palm
#

but that would require blizzard thinking about yellow class for more than 15 seconds

#

is it a fist weapon again

#

or is it just the int 2-piece weapons

#

and no other cantrips

warm marlin
#

just the int ones pretty sure

#

and no very rare loot

chrome palm
#

at least there is more than 1 good trinket this time

swift tinsel
#

pretty sure we get most if not all of our gear pre-Dimensius

chrome palm
#

and probable bis is limited to agi/str

warm marlin
#

ye prism should be relatively easy to secure

#

we talked about it a bit recently but sub should be one of the only contenders

#

pending tuning obv

chrome palm
#

FDK in my guild didnt seem to think it was good

swift tinsel
#

I didn't realize it wasn't open to all main stats

chrome palm
#

its not

swift tinsel
#

a lot of people are hating on it bc no opening burst

chrome palm
#

its just agi/str i think

swift tinsel
#

I think so yeah

chrome palm
#

dont think int can use

swift tinsel
#

and lily is agi/int

#

so str users are pissed

chrome palm
#

inb4 int rolling on it for dam proc 🌚

swift tinsel
#

lmao I can see it

warm marlin
#

No int rolling on it, no 2 min specs really rolling on it since the 2min trinket is really highly tuned, no haste specs really rolling it since you don’t have it for lust pull

swift tinsel
#

Yeah we're kinda primed for it which is cool

chrome palm
#

and most importantly, no transmitter this time around

#

so we actually have an upgrade

swift tinsel
#

and we have a few good options for 2nd trinket so we aren't completely hamstrung

warm marlin
#

Prism is so much better than hoc lol

swift tinsel
#

Yeah I'm excited to get something I actively can play around lol

chrome palm
#

prism should mean we get to stack more mastery no?

warm marlin
#

Ye

chrome palm
#

that is also really nice

swift tinsel
#

And we get a ton of mastery/vers gear

warm marlin
#

The ring situation is a bit cooked

swift tinsel
#

I think its open in almost if not every slot outside tier

#

yeah

chrome palm
#

i saw that

warm marlin
#

The only vers mast ring is from dawnbreaker

swift tinsel
#

that was the only thing I saw as being contentious but crafting exists

chrome palm
#

but since we have artifact cloak and artifact cloak boots

swift tinsel
#

Isn't there a 2nd from priory

chrome palm
#

ring craft looks almost certain

swift tinsel
#

or was that vers/crit

warm marlin
hazy breach
warm marlin
#

I don’t think you’ll end up playing the priory one

chrome palm
#

i could see the haste neck not being bad

#

since mastery will be a little better

warm marlin
#

There’s like no vers heavy jewelry

chrome palm
#

they hate vers for some reason

warm marlin
#

The priory one is mostly mast, so not as good as db one

chrome palm
#

unfort that we have to craft jewelry then because i am a duskthread enjoyer

#

duskthread truther until i die

#

i like ascension too

#

i imagine we craft dagger again

warm marlin
#

the first week I swapped to duskthread this tier we cut a healer from like every fight and proceeded to fuck up every mechanic so I was perma low hp

chrome palm
#

hahahaha

#

ascension was also simming super close for me in sub

warm marlin
#

Toys hitting during cauldron intermission, double rik towers going off, bomb going off on sprocket 💀

#

Does ilvl change the embellishment math much @hazy breach

tepid trellis
#

no

warm marlin
#

duskthread doesn’t scale iirc but maybe with more primary it’s better

#

Idk

#

rip bsl

tepid trellis
#

iirc focusing lense scales very very slightly

#

but its so little that its irellevant

hazy breach
#

Ye very slightly, the others dont scale at all

#

So next tier embellishments are completely irrelevant pretty much

bleak night
#

hell yeah

vale pine
#

embellishments are basically very weak this xpac, and this stays true for the entire time

chrome palm
#

should probably just remove them from the game

vale pine
#

you can go without them, and it won't make a big diffrence

warm marlin
#

I just don’t like lens since it doesn’t scale with targets

vale pine
#

there are alternatives

#

as stealthi and eleem mentioned

#

the impact is very low

warm marlin
#

ye was just curious if any scaling stuff changed it

#

oh well

chrome palm
#

im going ascension so i can feel like the time i spent thinking about embellishments made a tangible impact

vale pine
#

think of it like this

#

players in the wfr did not care that much about embellishments, so you probably shouldn't later when content is relatively seen easier

chrome palm
#

iirc echos rogue was using 1 embellishment for a bit, dropping the 636 item in favor of something higher ilvl probably for stamina alone i imaigne

#

before they gave everyone the extra spark

swift tinsel
#

I'll probably toss lens into whatever I end up crafting just bc

#

pretty sure that's what I did last season

alpine wraith
#

embellish this expansion have been very weak

#

the df ones still give more stats

shrewd lantern
#

i feel i see lens alot

#

in rwf settings

#

likely due to you can make it anywhere

alpine wraith
#

you will see lens quite a bit it is one you can craft on weapons

#

same as darkmoon ascension

swift tinsel
#

we're essentially locked out of cloak and boot slots for crafting this tier

shrewd lantern
#

yeah

swift tinsel
#

so that limits it a bit too

shrewd lantern
#

no blessed weapon grip copium

don't have to worry about winning streak dropping so that's a plus

okay operation Gaslight My Guild into Giving Me Netherprism is working

I'm making it sound like the worst trinket for every spec that isn't sub

oh good idea

swift tinsel
#

"it's only worth it if you can make it work by using it at 25-30sec into a fight otherwise you're kinda screwed"

hollow spear
#

I wonder if it was an option to make ub a buff that stacks up to 4 that you can then consume to stack eb

#

Or if that gave you too much control / made the spec feel weird to play
