The extreme low end thinks like that too push
well rogue has sat out these last 2 tiers but yea top 10 or so its a diff world
if ur a good player you will see play
top 10 or scuffed lower end that tries to be stupid about balance đ
Theyâll try to incorporate all the â metaâ shit they can
also melee in general ahs been the stepchild for so long
yea i know ur guild does some fucked shit to melees
many guilds sadly
Bcuz they think bringing some shit tier vnethyr bird over a decent fury warrior player will improve their chances
it just drips the worst things
i was in quite some wild guilds in bfa/legion too
e.g. one did bring me in to "test dps" on a fight
and after i topped as #1 on the meter they just straight up benched me for the next fights
because i did not beat their dps by enough
even tho i ranked 95%tile or higher
Ye some lower guilds have degenerate leadership
funniest thing was
that one raidlead did whipe the entire raid on purpose for a bit over a hour
because the boss was down 100%
to then next raid bench 3 or so people who where in for the whole progress
to bring in his "homies"
and get the kill
if you play lower end you rly see some very questionable decisions, and people just go along with it
well i already derailed the discussion to much, lets move back to the intial point
i am with you, if you are good and put in enough effort, you should have no issue to have a secure spot
its hard to imagine
how awful low tier guilds are
not even my guild was anything like that when it was lower ranked
I was lucky that my old guild didnât really participate in meta chasing too hard
Good players got playtime
Push knows all about long term investments
none of the people in charge for some of the stupid stuff that happened in my current guild are in charge anymore
coincident?
we have a rogue spot open if you want to play on EU
How much does Colour pay
Do I get to skip being a trial
Due to push vouch
nah
Push vouch has negative value now
i vouch for you too rae
Depreciated greatly
long term investment 
dunked by drkst
Drkst doesnât seem to understand how to play with the set very well
His skolex and dasugne performance wss
Less than optimal
does he understand anything well

@wind furnace going back to sub
i noticed that vanishing at 10 seconds
is very awkward
later in the fight
you have to hold vanish for a very long time
to not waste symbols cdr
when would you vanish
vanishing before first dance means no cdr on dance
you have to hold vanish quite a bit
sure its all within 5 minutes anyway, but if the fight is longer than 5 mins, chances are you might lose a vanish
i could see that linking to other cds could be net positive
well on my most recent dummy attempt i vanished at 00:11, 02:26 and 04:49
basically holding it for 13-15 seconds
both times
sync it with flag?
cus it comes up when symbols is about to come up
ah, sync with symbols?
you cant sync it with flag
not sure you should sync it to anything given how it works
i can try a quick sync with symbols
you just want all ur cds to be on cd
can try to make a simple condition for that
and see how it uses it
how much cdr does it provide exactly
20 sec
so symbols gets the most benefit
probably
my thought
if its used during symbols
you guarantee that you get full benefits for symbols
but lets start doing some sims
That might be worth
If you pop it with symbols you basically have everything on cd
1 dance on cd flag on cd etc
Losing 1 ss with all that cdr is prob ok
And you get vanish on cd pretty much right away
With obedience it can end up being somewhat important
Yea Iâd assume youâd want vanish somewhat synced with obedience to get the back to back symbols value within the 24 second window
And if you pop it with symbols itâs basically guaranteed to always line up
This is however a house of cards level of mess to apl out
Like
Its already complex and sensitive to change with just obedience
And 20 sec cdr on everything
Not to mention the tier set rng
Has the potential to just be a nightmare to optimize
Is a good thing we got good tcers
Otherwise weâd end up like nathria spriests on this one

Yea well
Better be on your toes
And check how it plays when you sim something and its worse than you imagined
What are you trying to say here pal
Well a lot of stuff just doesnt work does it
Or not a lot
But things i assumed was working has sometimes not been
back, so it should possible be a win for current gear too, or do you only expect double legednary choices to have impact from apl changes
I have like no expectations tbh
But i think its not worth doing just dust apl stuff
Because thats likely not going to last
With obedience
But i am not sure ofc
Dust itself isnât gonna be a thing either đ
Not being able to play that combo kinda makes it hard to predict bad shit
ye its probably better to look at dust + obedience specific
alright, lets do some simple testing
okay, this didn't work out
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/nqgt9TExUooJ9LFNYVoPqh
What did you change
just synced vanish with symbols
but also disallowed it in dance, lets try to allow in dance
How would that even work
it doesen't rly thats the issue
thats like... not rly relevant
lets see what the sim does
still vanishes late
guess i need to move the condition
not to bad
this sounds bad
uff
Canât you make a condition that checks for cds
Is there any update regarding possible combinations of legendaries?
Alright
Sorry, work has been annoying I haven't been keeping up on this channel.
I'm too old
There was some scuffed sims done with bare bones set implementation @gusty thunder
Set is not implement properly yet
Implemented
^ we did some experimetation with sims earlier, but its rly something to take with causion
very scuffed/rough estimate
Thank you guys.
That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much.
again
this isn't with a real implementation
just with changing spell duration and proc chances
to create a rough estimate
Yeah, I know, I just wanted a general idea.
general idea is: every cobo sucks given that best one seems around a 4% dps increase
Thank you @wind furnace
but no tuning so far, so
lets see
Yeah, it's too early to tell.
not sure about that
idk man
I need to do some finality dummy tests
it might with real implementation
but you have to realize that this scuffed simulation already has more akaari procs
cus of the way bigger WM proc chance, and WM procs akaari

?
but you can
on what i said earlier
This fact, and akaari is still behind
There is something fishy going in
what was the
earlier?
oh
bro
like I refuse to believe that after bug fix, akaari wont be the best
idk what Fuu is on
Its probably best even now
yeah
Lol
so there is something weird
i am sure that regular WMs proc akaari, but according to this list that doesnt seem to be the case in simc?
or why is there only 96 regular akaari hits
Parry perhaps
and why is there 269 total strike hits but only 200 shadowblades hits
nvm
dont answer
it has uptime
2head

Ye
akaari is a dot
which can apparently
lose hits
or something

if you hit too many in a short time
like it clips
in some weird way
idek
its very weird at least
akaari is not a strike
its just a debuff
Go hit dummy with finality equipped on kyrian push
why
I need some numbers
ive already done that
or well
it was finality on venthyr
@plucky storm ok
i just checked 1 random log
and akaari should indeed just be the same number as shadowstrikes
yeh
Cringo
i think akaari has its own 15% chance to wm
which would make sense why its not exactly great with this implementation of the set
Still doesnât make any sense
?
the 4p simulation is done through WMs
Oh
if WMs doesnt even proc akaari
Yea maybe
more finishers?
more finisher -> more finality procs -> more damage
what part of akaari is fun
embrace the duster
Akaari is cool because it has clear cut synergies with the set
It also has a cool name
Finality is just âI finish moreâ 
Sounds like ass to me
oh right
there is a bug with finality btw
@wind furnace did you know that finality evis is consuming itself on the shadow dmg part
instantly
like half the time

yes
moment
on 1 evis
wasn't that on the tracker
Thats a pretty decent loss right
or do i mistake it for somehting else
been there since SL beta?
i know for sure
isnt that kinda shit
that finality is buggy with Tornado
Ye sounds bad ye
and simc is not reflecting the self-consume?
Akaari đ
its also possible that it changed
and nobody noticed
i am not sure about the implementation details
i know mystler looked at it when they did changes to it
what does it do exactly?
consume the buff every time
i am trying it now
and its not doing it anymore
really weird
ye i know about the BP bug
wasn't aware of evi having a issue
ah nice
means implementation is correct
is the reference to the pb bug
having someone say
our bis legendary is worth about the equivalent of 12% mastery
is kind of sad

not even because snd has no mastery
so even less than 12% overall
more like 10 or 8
so imagine how all the others are so bad they cant even compare to that kekw
i still think rotten/dust check out for venth and for kyrian aakari seems kinda uncontested
yea we needa nerf sub set
it all depends on the overall powers
actual dog tier legendaries though 
i hope they have their hands on good data
like this tier only damage profiles went oof
but balance was kinda good
totally
I don't mind our Legendary powers being bad
If the sum of things ends up being net positive for the specs
Numbers aside, venthyr has a very nice lineup for their top legendary choices:
all 3 of them feel impactful in your rotation or give you control over burst
Yes
oh correct
- Includes all pending bugfixes as mentioned in https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/class-set-feedback-rogue/1143962/53
i do sims when i come back home
probably would also like to look into item slots for the set
i will ask seri to re-build the nightly for it to be in
are they still putting haste on every piece
or was that a placeholder
cuz doesn't that suck cheeks for kyrian?
i think the stats are only relevant short term
because over time you can start putting the set on any piece
nah they said it'll change stats
to w/e that tier piece is
you can't farm bis statted pieces to make tier :/
oh
i misunderstood it then
seems like a diffrent direction
because if you could just put it on any item, it would open up a lot of doors for pvp/m+
Tier set strings:
head=,id=188901,bonus_id=6652/7578
chest=,id=188903,bonus_id=6652
hands=,id=188907,bonus_id=6652
legs=,id=188902,bonus_id=6652
shoulder=,id=188905,bonus_id=6652
letme quick test if i used the correct strings
test sim: (tier set is not working in it yet)
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2oF2rYdUP1imFeC2C6dRSc/simc
did koji post any sims of the set?
Nope
fair, the PR looks complete. So don't think anything is missing
haste is not horrible for st but it kinda ints the other aspects hmm
well guess we will have to choose off pieces with more crit/vers
we still dont know trinks from the raid either
there are none
legs have haste and crit
i assume slot choice is directly related to domination and legendary slots
e.g. just hypothetical if you use akaaris for head
you likely use belt for covenant legendary
but would also need to consider that you might need 1-2 slots for domination
so 2 of those
hands/chest/shoulder/hands overlap at least
How much worth is the 2 set? Dps wise. Would that already amount to the same damage as active shard bonus in Sod?
i will run sims on it once raidbots is updated
raidbots makes it just a lot easier to share the sims and see stuff in the report
Ok ty fuu
It's just as far as I remember didn't play bfa though that we are losing power going into a raid since the shard bonus is gone.
we do lose quite a lot of power going in
because we lose the domination bonus
but both sets together could be between 12-20%
Dps numbers in the raid testing were mildly comparable to current dps, that was all scaled to 252 and single legendary
I thought the difference would be much greater losing the dom sockets but it didnât seem absurdly different, a little lower
you lose out up to 25% dps
and tier sets might not be 20%
iirc they aim at beeing somewhere around 10-15%
2nd legendary for us is 4%
numbers won't skyrocket
That kind of lines up with what I was seeing I think
I expect with the ilvl it will pull ahead more
who is losing 25% dps
depends if they keep domination gems active
but if both domination + sets are dissabled it should be around that number
I mean the sets are more like 10% right
Domination sets
With the dps gems then offering a few %s depending on their activation
ye i think the blood set is like
11-12%
i have a hard time seeing the dom gems being 13% dps 
venthyr without domination is 11k iirc
25% is perhaps outlaw/assa
thats 10%
thats around 12% ye
can't wait for mastery to be good in ST after 9.2 
is there a mastery rework planed?
or do you mean mastery in 9.2 becomming stronger due to tier
nah blood makes mastery less valuable

more like
unholy set makes mastery better
and blood makes crit/vers better
not mastery worse
but you have to play unholy then 
i could see hacha stacking mastery with finality and 2p in 9.2
you do get more finishers overall with new set but its still a sad landscape
it will be way better for m+ now
that we dont have those anima powers
4p is kinda insane in aoe
100% fw uptime without high crit
those were the mastery killers
it can highroll and will highroll wildly sometimes
like legion wm
but now weee dont have to bother about dfa bugging and not doing dmg at least
The 4p on xymox felt insane on some pulls
it can and will be insane on some pulls yea
i feel like the tier set will get tuned
that is the gamba
but i have nightmares about tier 21
many sets have died in ptr
having history repeat
and tier set going from "oh wow, that sounds cool" to "oh wow, it procs? sometimes?"
replicating shadows
I mean it definitely felt absurd sometimes but
There were other classes âkeeping upâ
i mean
keep in mind that testing isn't rly that informative about strengh
to many things are not well explored
Like warlocks seemed to do a lot of damage as well
same as arms warriors when they saw that tier
I think hunters when their set worked properly did a lot
and there could be a lot of those things
The only mages I saw were trying frost which was terrible
I donât know if that was a chair related problem or spec
isnt the assa 2p just making crit a stat again
but 100% more dmg is similar to 100% crit?
except it can crit
(and thus do more dmg)
also being able to crit means it can go even higher
it has a quite longish duration too
i mean
they want to just put something then tune it i guess
crit is also double dmg on bleeds
mind you
but ye it might interact with more things
assassination is not all about bleed/poison damage
but its still a huge benefit
and you can already buff bleeds with stuff like nightstalker or subterfuge
they may play ns or subter like fuu said
100% * 50% (from subterfuge) * 100% = 300% of base
instead of ma like now
so it can be a bit high when everything comes together
so garrote is doing 300% base damage instead of 150%
same as sepsis or sbs
i mean the 2p works on poisons too right?
nope
shiv cooldown is also low
or?
yes
envenom is so weird
poisons and bleeds
not really zold does not affect it
so also potential stuff like necro or nf covenant ability
it's like a weird attack
well sepsis with the septic shock conduit in shiv could be interesting 
not really with thief's bargain
so you can set up rly easy
we can look at 100% blades uptime
it will be so weird playing that
similar to raid ^^
the thing about sub in pvp
is that the skill cap is like a huge gaping fissure
that cant be overcome easily
my feat rly is that the nature of the set being random will end up making it less exciting for progress
and for parsing
yea that for sure
trying to fight with 80% uptime on blades andies
that also get a lot of procs
i just feel like
might be assa tier
that if assassination is anywhere close
you just don't play sub
because everything is compatitive
and sin has one of the best low target cleaves
and 2p just makes it even more absurd
its not tuned yet tho
hasn't responded
funniest shit is rogue can be quite equalized at least for sub if they change deathspike a bit and buff sepsis
he is na timezone tho
so will usually not respond before early/later eu time
usually not before 5/6 pm (its around 4pm atm)
i should somewhere in the near future set up for a local simc build, but i still prefere using raidbots as its just a lot easier to share
(also everyone sees the input and can fast just sim it for themself)
gamba to the moon
Also unless double lege changes a lot, im crafting akaari lmao
I tested finality
Numbers just arent there compared to akaari
i mean do you see the amount of finishers you do with this shit
Yes
mastery stonks
you probably have like
100 mastery rating
what if you can have a build where you stack mastery
and play finality
I know
finality is already simming high for it with a profile that has almost no mastery
We are a shadowstrike spec not an eviscerate spec
Lmfao
Ye
and you do a mini rupture before going into dance
so you get the buffed one
in dance
hahaha but yea unless there is a busted trinket again
NV gameplay, except it buffs rupture instead of evis
it seems mastery gets some passive booster
But ye idk the numbers just arenât there for finality alone
i mean trinket that does a lot of damage like fusion phial etc
Feel it will definitely be an assa tier at least at a high level, having strong determined burst windows and an easier/slower rotation is always going to push it to the top unless tuning throws up outliers
Maybe it has some insane synergy with rc
Sorry Push
those ones devalue mastery
rogue does not have burst windows
more like we are not playing any mastery atm
i can log on and try 131%
it ramps hard
with this amount of finishers, obviously mastery is gonna gain
something
and you have seen it yourself, when playing with unholy set
mastery rating value goes up
quite a bit
Ye or you could just stack vers like always
And your ss is still getting buffed
While also buffing finishers
ye this is true, luckily i dont give a shit about ease of play unless its like A LOT better than sub
And also buffing shadow blades dmg
i mean no one said vers and crit will suddenly become bad
stacking vers is kinda hard in this game cus they barely put those items in the game
but getting more points of dps per stat is never bad
SoD had a lot of vers items, i dont expect the next tiers items to have the same amount of vers
and if it inches forward of haste and maybe vers it's k
i mean the set gives you all the haste you will ever need
Are the stats on the set finalised? Haven't been on ptr in a while but last time it was placeholder SoD items
its placeholder
they can change them but idk
but it wouldnt surprise me
if they just keep it around
but i think its a bit weird that almost every item has haste on it
these are my stats with the set equipped
10% haste is not too bad
What
but vers takes a fucking dive
I would expect there to be more of a mixture than what there is right now in stats
Oh cos ring

k this is with the fatescribe ring
a bit better
10% haste = definitely doable
Nah
You wanna go as low haste as possible 
To make your sht procs as low as possible
Yes
so ye these are placeholders
I assume most of the leather will have vers on it
Since most leather users like vers
head = remnant
shoulders = KT
gloves = ???
legs = painsmith
the gloves actually dont exist
in that version
i am unsure what set pices end up best
i mean they are all placeholder items from the current raid
domination you likely use feet
IF blizzard keeps dom gems working in the new raid they have no brain
not sure about 2nd domination piece, if its worth to keep
will play shard of dyz until the tier is over in mythic
no ilvl will be better than 1.5% more dmg on everything you do
when all ur dmg ramps = the benefit becomes bigger from it
it's locked to instance id right 
the gems are not locked to anything
oh right only set bonus
maybe they will say the gems need the shadowlands to work and make new zone a part of something else
like neck does in azeroth
unsure
but those are the domination slots
and head, chest, legs, schoulders or hands are the tier set
yea its a sad day to be leather and not have a wrist dom socket slot
we suffer in our advantage in this tier
with boes
so feet is the slot that works always
also weird no pants in the set?
oh we have 6 slots
yes we have 6 slots
for dom + tier set
combined
so you could in theory use both
2 dom sockets and full tier set
yea belt and feet
I think they are forced in some way to make vers less accessible maybe? If the amount of vers available kept going up I think there would be some unfortunate side effects
belt?
for other classes
we would lose head, schoulders, chest, hands legs and feet if we run tier + 2x dom
could use belt for covenant lego
depending on leggo ilvl and last bosses loot everything can change i guess
(4 tier + 2 dom + 2 lego + 1 dagger)
unless they nerf it again
maybe they only make it explode on 3 stacks
and up the proc chance a bit
so it does not fall out
the most important thing about trinkets will be raid trinket tuning
yep as always
if we get another EP level of tuning, we won't get trinkets from m+
also iirc push did say we get another eon like dagger
so dagger will also come from raid
makes 10 items secure locked
scarizard said "dw there will be another weapon" or something
about the EoN
i am not sure what that means
but ye
Cosmic damage weapons
yea that cosmic dagger looks sexy as f
as i lined out, the issue is that if its like eon
you will have the same issue in aquirement
so not rly solving any issues
dagger hell all over pog
hacha, push you both did play ptr a lot i think
yea there is raid testing today and tomorrow too
how exactly is the tier set aquirement working
its on a vendor
outside of raid
yea its on the tauren

no not how i get it on ptr
oh you mean the thing they said
about krangling items into tier sets
but its from the creation catalyst
but you wont be able to make tier sets from that until a few weeks have gone
havent done even 1 chapter i think
^ like this message earlier confused me
and it seems like a month 2 thing
unless i missed something we still dont know how it will work
like how i understood it was that you can just craft it over time
but the last message "you can't farm bis stated pieces to make tier" is confusing
I mean that's a good thing fuu, can you imagine how aids it would be to farm your bis stats (presumably at a suitable ilvl) to fully optimise your tier
i don't see it as a big issue
it would be a goal to have
you can upgrade gear in m+
not everyone likes to just raid and log off
and like fuu said having 9 locked slots
Sure, but we don't know how it works, my assumption (with no basis in fact) is that you need it from vault
yes but you cant grind a crit/vers item and make it into crit/vers tier set
is kinda of a huge cringe
ye, so how does it work?
oh
and just becomes the raid item
now i have to pray for tier set to drop and if it procs tertiaries it will be the work of god
ye
seems so
you still need to have a chest to make the chest set piece
etc
you cant put the bonus on bracers or feeet
if thats what ur asking
the new multicovenant piece they said will have different slots apart from belt
but not which ones
or if its all
i would dig a ring not gonna lie
I think one of the interviews said that you could use vault items to craft your tier with the forge, I don't think it will be just the items from the end of dungeon chest that you can use it for
yes it will be
at least thats what morgan day said
on that podcast from like
3-4 weeks ago
Are you agreeing with me sorry, misunderstood you
the only thing he said about the vault is that you can get the raid set in ur vault
no
you can also use pvp items
Fine, presumably you're going to be locked on whatever arbitrary currency they bring in anyway, so in that sense it's nicer you can get your items ready ahead of time if you're unlucky
a lot of unhappy looters will be had
they said the currency will be like the one you bought corruptions with
from the vendor in 8.3
aka something you can farm in pvp, m+, raid, wqs
whatever
Was that one capped? I didn't play nyalotha
i like it if you can get the same rewards independent of content you do
no it wasnt capped
but you had to grind
quite a bit
to buy any corruptions
i know raz played like 1500 arena games in 2 weeks
to farm the resource

Yeah I don't want to do that lmao, island flashbacks
they were on rotation too
having some mandatory grind is part of the game tho, so lets hope it won't be to big

@wind furnace send seriallos a clock emote
haha, ye saw that too
dw, i will inform you right the second he tells me about the rebuild
i have no idea about his time zone
and also not sure how often he checks discord
again he usually didn't respond before 5-6pm
not sure if there will be any diffrence today
i remember when raidbots had issues
and he wasnt home
he race-car speeded home
and fixed it
i think some others have some more access to rebuild and stuff
but i usually always just contacted him directly and it isn't a big problem usually to do it
yes? he does rebuilds for singular trinkets
why not, i asked him often in the past to rebuild
Our spec is irrelevant we dont even exist
seriallos loves sub
haha
Fake spec enjoyed by fake people
Surprised to see that subs tier set didn't get touched with the other rogue bonus changes, wasn't expecting anything major, maybe just addressing the fact that our set bonus is very RNG
if anything he will make it even more rng
only if he decides to change % chances
but feedback was given that the rng nature is a bit surprising
i mentioned it on wowhead
and push, me and others did mention it in the feedback thread
haha^^
i did also mention that i am afraid it could end up like t21
what went from 10% proc chance to iirc 4
and then made the entire tier set irrelevant
how many combo points do you lose with that uptime though did the dev said something about it?
combo point loss rly depends on how you play
you can e.g. always finish early and have a very low cp loss in general
like, we often take a slight overcap
so it depends, needs apl testing
60% shd
i just don't like seeing to high uptime numbers on dance
yeah it feels like you barely have time to refresh rupture and SnD
you refresh snd in dance

hope serialos responds soon
hopefully, idk i dont mind a little bit of RNG, like weapon master procs, small things - but when you are looking at a big swing from 54% uptime on shadow blades vs 66% because you got some lucky procs, is always going to feel worse when you get unlucky.
thats the thing about RNG, you tend to forget the lucky parts, but the unlucky moments stick
you will remember both
if you get back to back 4p procs
and just explode on the meter
but if you "pop off" once and then feel bad because you get average/bad procs 100 times
it still means you have a mostly negative impression
soonâ˘ď¸
Pog

lesgo\
Any RNG with a big impact on performance sucks tbh
Crit itself is pretty much on the edge already
i mean with edge, and the concept of them removing the cp gain to turn it into an edge effect, it just becomes something you never really feel and only understand retroactively
like its very rare i "see" my edge procs
and when you proc with the set as it is it actually feels insane
so idk how they could make something interesting that didnt have that diceroll attached
and the concept of them removing the cp gain to turn it into an edge effect
?
its something people vaguely talk about when it comes to balancing the set
removing the cp gain from the set bonus
it's alright, I'm incoherent at the best of times
na, i was just slow ^^
removing the cp effect could def. help controlling the power level
esp. in aoe because having back to back procs can rly build up some big numbers
yeah i have been trying to find the logs from our xymox testing but im not sure anyone i know kept the link
sometimes it was pretty stupid
but I think there was only 1 occasion where I was an outlier to the other higher dps
I wonder if we will see any nerfs to Edge of night closer to 9.2 release, if not I'm guessing we will basically have one in our off hand until the end of the expansion?
Unless they add another dagger with an equally good effect
For now that sounds about right
Thats what they aim to do from what others told us
but i would still be concerned
Just loot edge 
because up to the point of acquiring the new "eon" you still am in the situation to have a non replacable offhand weapon
