#

ok so unless ur in top 10 world

#

its true

livid ferry
#

The extreme low end thinks like that too push

delicate osprey
#

well rogue has sat out these last 2 tiers but yea top 10 or so its a diff world

mellow urchin
#

if ur a good player you will see play

wind furnace
#

top 10 or scuffed lower end that tries to be stupid about balance 😉

livid ferry
#

They’ll try to incorporate all the “ meta” shit they can

delicate osprey
#

also melee in general ahs been the stepchild for so long

mellow urchin
delicate osprey
#

many guilds sadly

livid ferry
#

Bcuz they think bringing some shit tier vnethyr bird over a decent fury warrior player will improve their chances

delicate osprey
#

it just drips the worst things

wind furnace
#

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

livid ferry
#

Ye some lower guilds have degenerate leadership

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

its hard to imagine

#

how awful low tier guilds are

#

not even my guild was anything like that when it was lower ranked

livid ferry
#

I was lucky that my old guild didn’t really participate in meta chasing too hard

#

Good players got playtime

potent vault
wind furnace
#

coincident?

mellow urchin
livid ferry
#

How much does Colour pay

potent vault
#

Due to push vouch

mellow urchin
#

nah

livid ferry
#

Push vouch has negative value now

wind furnace
#

i vouch for you too rae

livid ferry
#

Depreciated greatly

mellow urchin
#

long term investment Prayge

potent vault
#

Anduin testing gonna be fun this week

#

Ima show up

mellow urchin
#

dunked by drkst

livid ferry
#

Drkst doesn’t seem to understand how to play with the set very well

#

His skolex and dasugne performance wss

#

Less than optimal

mellow urchin
#

does he understand anything well

potent vault
mellow urchin
#

@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

wind furnace
#

when would you vanish

mellow urchin
#

or well 10-15 sec

#

right after using all cds

wind furnace
#

vanishing before first dance means no cdr on dance

mellow urchin
#

well ye

#

just vanish in dance

#

ur losing a shadowstrike, i am sure its fine

wind furnace
#

i wasn't sure if thats good because you lose vanish strike value

#

but can try

mellow urchin
#

you have to hold vanish quite a bit

wind furnace
#

if alignment later is weird

#

is it possible to put in dealys to make it better?

mellow urchin
#

sure its all within 5 minutes anyway, but if the fight is longer than 5 mins, chances are you might lose a vanish

wind furnace
#

i could see that linking to other cds could be net positive

mellow urchin
#

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

wind furnace
#

sync it with flag?

mellow urchin
#

cus it comes up when symbols is about to come up

wind furnace
#

ah, sync with symbols?

mellow urchin
#

you cant sync it with flag

#

not sure you should sync it to anything given how it works

wind furnace
#

i can try a quick sync with symbols

mellow urchin
#

you just want all ur cds to be on cd

wind furnace
#

can try to make a simple condition for that

#

and see how it uses it

#

how much cdr does it provide exactly

mellow urchin
#

20 sec

wind furnace
#

so symbols gets the most benefit

mellow urchin
#

probably

wind furnace
#

my thought

#

if its used during symbols

#

you guarantee that you get full benefits for symbols

#

but lets start doing some sims

winged fiber
#

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

mellow urchin
#

With obedience it can end up being somewhat important

winged fiber
#

Yea I’d assume you’d 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 it’s basically guaranteed to always line up

mellow urchin
#

This is however a house of cards level of mess to apl out

winged fiber
#

Cuz Dust reduces flag

#

Yea I can imagine pepechortle

mellow urchin
#

Like

#

Its already complex and sensitive to change with just obedience

#

And 20 sec cdr on everything

winged fiber
#

Not to mention the tier set rng

mellow urchin
#

Has the potential to just be a nightmare to optimize

winged fiber
#

Is a good thing we got good tcers

#

Otherwise we’d end up like nathria spriests on this one

mellow urchin
#

Yea well

#

Better be on your toes

#

And check how it plays when you sim something and its worse than you imagined

livid ferry
mellow urchin
#

Well a lot of stuff just doesnt work does it

#

Or not a lot

#

But things i assumed was working has sometimes not been

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

I have like no expectations tbh

wind furnace
#

ah fair

#

i just wasn't sure what test profile to set up

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
#

Dust itself isn’t gonna be a thing either 💀

mellow urchin
#

Not being able to play that combo kinda makes it hard to predict bad shit

wind furnace
#

ye its probably better to look at dust + obedience specific

#

alright, lets do some simple testing

mellow urchin
#

What did you change

wind furnace
#

just synced vanish with symbols

#

but also disallowed it in dance, lets try to allow in dance

mellow urchin
#

How would that even work

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

Yea that’s weird

#

As long as the vanish is after every cd is used it’s fine

livid ferry
#

Thats in the same second

#

Should apply cdr

mellow urchin
#

Can’t you make a condition that checks for cds

wind furnace
#

its easy fixed

#

i just consider shb cooldown

mellow urchin
#

Just like with macros

wind furnace
#

i read macos first, damn

#

fixed

#

but still, within .1% so not a gain

gusty thunder
#

Is there any update regarding possible combinations of legendaries?

mellow urchin
gusty thunder
#

Sorry, work has been annoying I haven't been keeping up on this channel.

#

I'm too old

livid ferry
#

There was some scuffed sims done with bare bones set implementation @gusty thunder

mellow urchin
#

Implemented

wind furnace
#

^ we did some experimetation with sims earlier, but its rly something to take with causion

#

very scuffed/rough estimate

gusty thunder
#

Thank you guys.

gusty thunder
wind furnace
#

again

#

this isn't with a real implementation

#

just with changing spell duration and proc chances

#

to create a rough estimate

gusty thunder
#

Yeah, I know, I just wanted a general idea.

wind furnace
#

general idea is: every cobo sucks given that best one seems around a 4% dps increase

gusty thunder
#

Thank you @wind furnace

wind furnace
#

but no tuning so far, so peeposhrug lets see

gusty thunder
#

Yeah, it's too early to tell.

hoary zephyr
#

akaari bug fix will definitely make it #1

#

no shot it doesnt

wind furnace
#

not sure about that

hoary zephyr
#

idk man

livid ferry
#

I need to do some finality dummy tests

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

but you can copium on what i said earlier

livid ferry
wind furnace
#

that other factors like stats/etc are relavtn

#

*relevant

livid ferry
#

There is something fishy going in

hoary zephyr
#

what was the Copium earlier?

#

oh

#

bro

#

like I refuse to believe that after bug fix, akaari wont be the best

#

idk what Fuu is on

livid ferry
#

Its probably best even now

hoary zephyr
#

yeah

livid ferry
#

Lol

mellow urchin
#

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

plucky storm
#

can akaari miss

livid ferry
#

Parry perhaps

mellow urchin
#

and why is there 269 total strike hits but only 200 shadowblades hits

#

nvm

#

dont answer

#

it has uptime

#

2head

plucky storm
livid ferry
#

You know you could have deleted that

#

I wouldn’t have said anything

mellow urchin
#

i dont delete mistakes

#

i own them

plucky storm
#

but like 107 normal strikes vs 96 akaari strikes

#

kinda whack

livid ferry
#

Ye

mellow urchin
#

which can apparently

#

lose hits

#

or something

livid ferry
plucky storm
#

what

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
#

Go hit dummy with finality equipped on kyrian push

mellow urchin
#

why

livid ferry
#

I need some numbers

mellow urchin
#

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

plucky storm
#

yeh

mellow urchin
#

however

#

weaponmaster strikes

#

i dont think they trigger akaari

livid ferry
#

Cringo

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
#

Still doesn’t make any sense

mellow urchin
#

?

#

didnt you just read

#

what i said

livid ferry
#

?

mellow urchin
#

the 4p simulation is done through WMs

livid ferry
#

Oh

mellow urchin
#

if WMs doesnt even proc akaari

livid ferry
#

Yea maybe

mellow urchin
#

then its losing like 20 procs

#

in current sims

livid ferry
#

Still weird

#

2 pc literally doesnt give finality anything

mellow urchin
#

more finishers?

livid ferry
#

Finality is only indirectly benefiting from 4 pc

#

And basically mostly from rc

mellow urchin
#

more cps = more finishers

#

= more finality

wind furnace
#

more finisher -> more finality procs -> more damage

livid ferry
#

Sussy

#

Anti-Finality Activism

mellow urchin
#

what part of akaari is fun

delicate osprey
#

embrace the duster

livid ferry
#

Akaari is cool because it has clear cut synergies with the set

#

It also has a cool name

#

Finality is just “I finish more” PepeDumb

mellow urchin
#

finality is literally

#

12.5% mastery

#

on avg

#

🙂

livid ferry
#

Sounds like ass to me

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
wind furnace
#

yes

mellow urchin
#

i was testing this shit

#

and it just kept going away

wind furnace
#

moment

mellow urchin
#

on 1 evis

wind furnace
#

wasn't that on the tracker

livid ferry
#

Thats a pretty decent loss right

mellow urchin
#

i have a vague memory of it

#

surprised it isnt even fixed tho

wind furnace
#

or do i mistake it for somehting else

mellow urchin
#

been there since SL beta?

wind furnace
#

i know for sure

mellow urchin
#

isnt that kinda shit

wind furnace
#

that finality is buggy with Tornado

livid ferry
#

Ye sounds bad ye

mellow urchin
#

and simc is not reflecting the self-consume?

livid ferry
#

Akaari 📈

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

and its not doing it anymore

#

really weird

wind furnace
#

ye i thought about bp

#

not evi

#

sry

mellow urchin
#

ye i know about the BP bug

wind furnace
#

wasn't aware of evi having a issue

mellow urchin
#

it doesnt

#

from what i am seeing now

#

unless its on live

#

and not ptr

wind furnace
#

ah nice

#

means implementation is correct

#

is the reference to the pb bug

winged fiber
#

having someone say

#

our bis legendary is worth about the equivalent of 12% mastery

#

is kind of sad

delicate osprey
#

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

winged fiber
#

yea we needa nerf sub set

delicate osprey
#

it all depends on the overall powers

winged fiber
#

actual dog tier legendaries though OMEGAKEKW

delicate osprey
#

i hope they have their hands on good data

#

like this tier only damage profiles went oof

#

but balance was kinda good

winged fiber
#

yea

#

carried by sylv daggies

delicate osprey
#

totally

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

Weird fuu

#

Weird

#

You know koji implemented the sub set a few hours ago right

wind furnace
#

did he?

#

i haveb't cought up yet

mellow urchin
#

Yes

wind furnace
#

oh correct

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

Nice

#

I mean you can just go online on ptr

#

And /simc the set?

wind furnace
#

yes

#

giveme a sec

winged fiber
#

are they still putting haste on every piece

#

or was that a placeholder

#

cuz doesn't that suck cheeks for kyrian?

wind furnace
#

i think the stats are only relevant short term

#

because over time you can start putting the set on any piece

winged fiber
#

nah they said it'll change stats

#

to w/e that tier piece is

#

you can't farm bis statted pieces to make tier :/

wind furnace
#

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+

winged fiber
#

yea i wish they did it that way

#

would make actual bis gear fun to achieve

wind furnace
#

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
wind furnace
#

letme quick test if i used the correct strings

#

did koji post any sims of the set?

mellow urchin
#

Nope

wind furnace
#

fair, the PR looks complete. So don't think anything is missing

delicate osprey
#

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

mellow urchin
#

there are none

delicate osprey
#

yea i mean that

#

i wrote it weirdly

wind furnace
#

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

feral schooner
#

How much worth is the 2 set? Dps wise. Would that already amount to the same damage as active shard bonus in Sod?

wind furnace
#

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

feral schooner
#

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.

wind furnace
#

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%

hazy girder
#

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 didn’t seem absurdly different, a little lower

wind furnace
#

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

hazy girder
#

That kind of lines up with what I was seeing I think

#

I expect with the ilvl it will pull ahead more

mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

depends if they keep domination gems active

#

but if both domination + sets are dissabled it should be around that number

hazy girder
#

I mean the sets are more like 10% right

#

Domination sets

#

With the dps gems then offering a few %s depending on their activation

mellow urchin
#

ye i think the blood set is like

#

11-12%

#

i have a hard time seeing the dom gems being 13% dps kekg

wind furnace
#

venthyr without domination is 11k iirc

mellow urchin
#

25% is perhaps outlaw/assa

mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

thats around 12% ye

alpine sentinel
#

can't wait for mastery to be good in ST after 9.2 Macky

wind furnace
#

is there a mastery rework planed?

#

or do you mean mastery in 9.2 becomming stronger due to tier

alpine sentinel
#

nah blood makes mastery less valuable

mellow urchin
#

more like

#

unholy set makes mastery better

#

and blood makes crit/vers better

#

not mastery worse

alpine sentinel
#

but you have to play unholy then lul

wind furnace
#

i could see hacha stacking mastery with finality and 2p in 9.2

delicate osprey
#

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

wind furnace
#

4p is kinda insane in aoe

delicate osprey
#

ye

#

and no more necrotic dagger and axe

wind furnace
#

100% fw uptime without high crit

delicate osprey
#

those were the mastery killers

wind furnace
#

also a lot of "back to back" finisher

#

from 4p proc

#

(also potential wm proc)

delicate osprey
#

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

wind furnace
#

they fixed that

#

by not allowing wm to proc from dfa

hazy girder
#

The 4p on xymox felt insane on some pulls

delicate osprey
#

it can and will be insane on some pulls yea

wind furnace
#

i feel like the tier set will get tuned

delicate osprey
#

that is the gamba

wind furnace
#

but i have nightmares about tier 21

delicate osprey
#

many sets have died in ptr

wind furnace
#

having history repeat

delicate osprey
#

like nightold

#

etc

#

and antorus

wind furnace
#

and tier set going from "oh wow, that sounds cool" to "oh wow, it procs? sometimes?"

delicate osprey
#

replicating shadows

wind furnace
#

was never fixed

#

™️

hazy girder
#

I mean it definitely felt absurd sometimes but

#

There were other classes “keeping up”

delicate osprey
#

dont worry people will run around with more busted shit

#

as always

wind furnace
#

i mean

#

keep in mind that testing isn't rly that informative about strengh

#

to many things are not well explored

hazy girder
#

Like warlocks seemed to do a lot of damage as well

delicate osprey
#

and yea ptr is so scuffed

#

warlocks are getting changed yea

wind furnace
#

like i saw some sims from mage

#

changing rotation to get 3% more deeps

delicate osprey
#

same as arms warriors when they saw that tier

hazy girder
#

I think hunters when their set worked properly did a lot

wind furnace
#

and there could be a lot of those things

mellow urchin
#

the arcane mage set and double legendary is 25%

#

in total

#

quite large

wind furnace
#

assassination would be in that range too probably

#

now

hazy girder
#

The only mages I saw were trying frost which was terrible

#

I don’t know if that was a chair related problem or spec

mellow urchin
#

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)

wind furnace
#

its not

#

because its multiplicative

#

i assume

mellow urchin
#

yea

#

i dont know if they want to put a 100% multiplicative buff into the game

wind furnace
#

also being able to crit means it can go even higher

delicate osprey
#

it has a quite longish duration too

mellow urchin
#

i assumed its just double dmg on bleeds

#

and thats basically it

wind furnace
#

i mean

delicate osprey
#

they want to just put something then tune it i guess

mellow urchin
#

crit is also double dmg on bleeds

#

mind you

#

but ye it might interact with more things

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

but your assumption is that its like 15-16% now?

#

the 2p

#

and 20% set in total?

delicate osprey
#

they may play ns or subter like fuu said

wind furnace
#

100% * 50% (from subterfuge) * 100% = 300% of base

delicate osprey
#

instead of ma like now

mellow urchin
#

ye if its multiplicative

#

and not additive

delicate osprey
#

so it can be a bit high when everything comes together

wind furnace
#

so garrote is doing 300% base damage instead of 150%

delicate osprey
#

same as sepsis or sbs

mellow urchin
#

i mean the 2p works on poisons too right?

delicate osprey
#

yes now it does

#

so it should also affect instant poison

mellow urchin
#

and envenom?

#

nah

delicate osprey
#

nope

wind furnace
#

shiv cooldown is also low

mellow urchin
#

or?

wind furnace
#

yes

delicate osprey
#

envenom is so weird

wind furnace
#

poisons and bleeds

mellow urchin
#

envenom is nature dmg

#

so ye

#

idk

#

or is it?

#

no its not

delicate osprey
#

not really zold does not affect it

wind furnace
#

so also potential stuff like necro or nf covenant ability

delicate osprey
#

it's like a weird attack

mellow urchin
#

well sepsis with the septic shock conduit in shiv could be interesting kekg

delicate osprey
#

yea in pvp it will be busted

#

but sub will also be busted

#

if you rng

mellow urchin
#

subs dmg is rng tho

#

trash for pvp

wind furnace
#

^

#

sin is highly controllable

delicate osprey
#

not really with thief's bargain

wind furnace
#

so you can set up rly easy

delicate osprey
#

we can look at 100% blades uptime

wind furnace
#

and every time sin is good in pvp

#

you don't play sub

delicate osprey
#

it will be so weird playing that

wind furnace
#

similar to raid ^^

delicate osprey
#

the thing about sub in pvp

#

is that the skill cap is like a huge gaping fissure

#

that cant be overcome easily

wind furnace
#

my feat rly is that the nature of the set being random will end up making it less exciting for progress

#

and for parsing

delicate osprey
#

yea that for sure

#

trying to fight with 80% uptime on blades andies

#

that also get a lot of procs

i just feel like

mellow urchin
#

might be assa tier

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

ye the fact that the 2p is aoe

#

is a bit nuts

wind furnace
#

its not tuned yet tho

mellow urchin
#

ETA on seriallos

#

fixing the nightly?

wind furnace
#

hasn't responded

delicate osprey
#

funniest shit is rogue can be quite equalized at least for sub if they change deathspike a bit and buff sepsis

wind furnace
#

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)

mellow urchin
#

man kyrian is just crazy strong with this set

livid ferry
#

Embrace

delicate osprey
#

gamba to the moon

mellow urchin
#

the amount of finishers

livid ferry
#

I was testing rc last night

#

Was getting casual 60+% blades uptime

#

60+ dance

mellow urchin
#

ye

#

this was over 5:30 mins

livid ferry
#

Also unless double lege changes a lot, im crafting akaari lmao

#

I tested finality

#

Numbers just arent there compared to akaari

mellow urchin
#

i mean do you see the amount of finishers you do with this shit

livid ferry
#

Yes

mellow urchin
#

mastery stonks

livid ferry
#

And i see the dps i do at the end

#

Its worse than akaari

mellow urchin
#

you probably have like

#

100 mastery rating

#

what if you can have a build where you stack mastery

#

and play finality

livid ferry
#

Thats

mellow urchin
#

who knows

livid ferry
#

I know

mellow urchin
#

finality is already simming high for it with a profile that has almost no mastery

livid ferry
#

We are a shadowstrike spec not an eviscerate spec

mellow urchin
#

watch us play

#

fucking

#

NS finality

#

with high mastery

#

snapshotting ruptures

livid ferry
#

Lmfao

mellow urchin
#

cus you can refresh

#

every single rupture

#

within dance

livid ferry
#

Ye

mellow urchin
#

and you do a mini rupture before going into dance

#

so you get the buffed one

#

in dance

delicate osprey
#

hahaha but yea unless there is a busted trinket again

mellow urchin
#

NV gameplay, except it buffs rupture instead of evis

delicate osprey
#

it seems mastery gets some passive booster

mellow urchin
#

heard of the bell?

#

@mossy carbon finish ur fucking sentence REEE

livid ferry
#

But ye idk the numbers just aren’t there for finality alone

delicate osprey
#

i mean trinket that does a lot of damage like fusion phial etc

mossy carbon
#

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

livid ferry
#

Maybe it has some insane synergy with rc

mossy carbon
#

Sorry Push

delicate osprey
#

those ones devalue mastery

mellow urchin
#

"Xelion is typing..."

#

for like 10 mins

delicate osprey
#

rogue does not have burst windows

mellow urchin
livid ferry
#

Dude

#

MASTERY IS SHIT

delicate osprey
#

i can log on and try 131%

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
#

Ye or you could just stack vers like always

#

And your ss is still getting buffed

#

While also buffing finishers

mellow urchin
livid ferry
#

And also buffing shadow blades dmg

delicate osprey
#

i mean no one said vers and crit will suddenly become bad

mellow urchin
#

stacking vers is kinda hard in this game cus they barely put those items in the game

delicate osprey
#

but getting more points of dps per stat is never bad

mellow urchin
#

SoD had a lot of vers items, i dont expect the next tiers items to have the same amount of vers

delicate osprey
#

and if it inches forward of haste and maybe vers it's k

mellow urchin
#

i mean the set gives you all the haste you will ever need

mossy carbon
#

Are the stats on the set finalised? Haven't been on ptr in a while but last time it was placeholder SoD items

mellow urchin
#

its placeholder

delicate osprey
#

they can change them but idk

mellow urchin
#

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

livid ferry
#

What

mellow urchin
#

but vers takes a fucking dive

livid ferry
#

I have like 20%

mossy carbon
#

I would expect there to be more of a mixture than what there is right now in stats

livid ferry
#

Oh cos ring

mellow urchin
#

k this is with the fatescribe ring

#

a bit better

#

10% haste = definitely doable

livid ferry
#

Nah

#

You wanna go as low haste as possible copium

#

To make your sht procs as low as possible

mellow urchin
#

i just realized

#

all these items

#

on the t28 piece

#

exist in SoD

livid ferry
#

Yes

mellow urchin
#

so ye these are placeholders

delicate osprey
#

ye

#

safe fron haste jail

livid ferry
#

I assume most of the leather will have vers on it

#

Since most leather users like vers

mellow urchin
#

head = remnant
shoulders = KT
gloves = ???
legs = painsmith

#

the gloves actually dont exist

#

in that version

livid ferry
#

Ye

#

Haste mastery

wind furnace
#

i am unsure what set pices end up best

mellow urchin
#

i mean they are all placeholder items from the current raid

wind furnace
#

domination you likely use feet

mellow urchin
#

IF blizzard keeps dom gems working in the new raid they have no brain

wind furnace
#

not sure about 2nd domination piece, if its worth to keep

mossy carbon
#

Domination sockets will 100% be fixed in new raid

#

There is no way

mellow urchin
#

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

alpine sentinel
#

it's locked to instance id right RHmm

mellow urchin
#

the gems are not locked to anything

wind furnace
#

gems work everywhere atm

#

set bonus does not

alpine sentinel
#

oh right only set bonus

delicate osprey
#

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

wind furnace
#

unsure

#

but those are the domination slots

#

and head, chest, legs, schoulders or hands are the tier set

delicate osprey
#

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

wind furnace
#

so feet is the slot that works always

delicate osprey
#

also weird no pants in the set?

wind furnace
#

what means you can in theory use 2 dom sockets

#

sets have pants

#

legs = pants

delicate osprey
#

oh we have 6 slots

wind furnace
#

yes we have 6 slots

#

for dom + tier set

#

combined

#

so you could in theory use both

#

2 dom sockets and full tier set

delicate osprey
#

yea belt and feet

hazy girder
#

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

wind furnace
#

belt?

delicate osprey
#

for other classes

wind furnace
#

oh

#

belt or bracers for other classes iirc

delicate osprey
#

but leather has no wrist so i guess hmm

#

yea we would go feet and hands i guess

wind furnace
#

we would lose head, schoulders, chest, hands legs and feet if we run tier + 2x dom

#

could use belt for covenant lego

delicate osprey
#

well good thing our leggos have good jewelry as back ups

#

or cloak

wind furnace
#

and back for other one

#

like finality

delicate osprey
#

depending on leggo ilvl and last bosses loot everything can change i guess

wind furnace
#

also we have 1 weapon slot locked with offhand

#

so we have 9 slots locked

delicate osprey
#

m+ vault in shambles

#

until we drop sack

#

then everything is k

wind furnace
#

(4 tier + 2 dom + 2 lego + 1 dagger)

delicate osprey
#

unless they nerf it again

wind furnace
#

sack will likely get nerfed

#

just my 2c

delicate osprey
#

maybe they only make it explode on 3 stacks

#

and up the proc chance a bit

#

so it does not fall out

wind furnace
#

the most important thing about trinkets will be raid trinket tuning

delicate osprey
#

yep as always

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

about the EoN

#

i am not sure what that means

#

but ye

livid ferry
#

Cosmic damage weapons

delicate osprey
#

yea that cosmic dagger looks sexy as f

wind furnace
#

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

delicate osprey
#

dagger hell all over pog

wind furnace
#

hacha, push you both did play ptr a lot i think

mellow urchin
#

"a lot"

#

a few hours on dummy

delicate osprey
#

yea there is raid testing today and tomorrow too

wind furnace
#

how exactly is the tier set aquirement working

mellow urchin
#

its on a vendor

wind furnace
#

outside of raid

delicate osprey
#

yea its on the tauren

mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

no not how i get it on ptr

mellow urchin
#

setzertauren

#

well thats not in the game yet

delicate osprey
#

oh you mean the thing they said

wind furnace
#

i know how to get it on ptr

#

yes

delicate osprey
#

about krangling items into tier sets

mellow urchin
#

but its from the creation catalyst

delicate osprey
#

nothing on that yet

#

its on the campaign week x

mellow urchin
#

but you wont be able to make tier sets from that until a few weeks have gone

delicate osprey
#

havent done even 1 chapter i think

wind furnace
#

^ like this message earlier confused me

delicate osprey
#

and it seems like a month 2 thing

#

unless i missed something we still dont know how it will work

wind furnace
#

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

mossy carbon
#

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

wind furnace
#

i don't see it as a big issue

delicate osprey
#

it would be a goal to have

wind furnace
#

you can upgrade gear in m+

delicate osprey
#

not everyone likes to just raid and log off

#

and like fuu said having 9 locked slots

mossy carbon
#

Sure, but we don't know how it works, my assumption (with no basis in fact) is that you need it from vault

mellow urchin
delicate osprey
#

is kinda of a huge cringe

mossy carbon
#

to be the required ilvl for mythic tier

#

or whatever

mellow urchin
#

i dont think you care about ilvl

#

tbh

#

just getting the set

mellow urchin
#

it just becomes the item

#

from the raid

#

it stops being the m+ item

wind furnace
#

oh

mellow urchin
#

and just becomes the raid item

delicate osprey
#

now i have to pray for tier set to drop and if it procs tertiaries it will be the work of god

mellow urchin
#

exact same appearance

#

and name

#

everything

wind furnace
#

so you can just craft one item into the tier set

#

not put the set bonus on any item

mellow urchin
#

ye

delicate osprey
#

seems so

wind furnace
#

i like the idea of it being gear independent

#

more

mellow urchin
#

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

wind furnace
#

i think i understand it now

#

thanks

delicate osprey
#

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

mossy carbon
#

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

mellow urchin
#

yes it will be

#

at least thats what morgan day said

#

on that podcast from like

#

3-4 weeks ago

mossy carbon
#

Are you agreeing with me sorry, misunderstood you

mellow urchin
#

the only thing he said about the vault is that you can get the raid set in ur vault

#

no

delicate osprey
#

you can also use pvp items

mellow urchin
#

you can farm tier set in m+

#

you dont need to rely on vault

wind furnace
#

its tbh a advancement

#

not as dynamic as i would like it

delicate osprey
#

yea if its live on like first month it will be big

#

but if its on month 3

mossy carbon
#

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

delicate osprey
#

a lot of unhappy looters will be had

mellow urchin
#

from the vendor in 8.3

#

aka something you can farm in pvp, m+, raid, wqs

#

whatever

mossy carbon
#

Was that one capped? I didn't play nyalotha

wind furnace
#

i like it if you can get the same rewards independent of content you do

mellow urchin
#

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

mossy carbon
#

Yeah I don't want to do that lmao, island flashbacks

wind furnace
#

i rarely see raz

#

what is he up to?

alpine sentinel
#

they were on rotation too

wind furnace
#

having some mandatory grind is part of the game tho, so lets hope it won't be to big

mellow urchin
#

with a "np"

livid ferry
mellow urchin
#

@wind furnace send seriallos a clock emote

wind furnace
#

haha, ye saw that too

wind furnace
#

dw, i will inform you right the second he tells me about the rebuild

mellow urchin
#

what kind of demon is that man

#

still asleep?

#

isnt it like almost 11 AM

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

i remember when raidbots had issues

#

and he wasnt home

#

he race-car speeded home

#

and fixed it

wind furnace
#

i think some others have some more access to rebuild and stuff

livid ferry
#

Push thinking there will be rebuild just for sub

wind furnace
#

but i usually always just contacted him directly and it isn't a big problem usually to do it

mellow urchin
wind furnace
livid ferry
#

Our spec is irrelevant we dont even exist

mellow urchin
#

seriallos loves sub

livid ferry
#

No chance

#

No one loves sub

wind furnace
#

haha

mellow urchin
#

i do

#

big sub simp

#

haters be gone

livid ferry
#

Fake spec enjoyed by fake people

delicate osprey
#

i tried sub for a while in 2005 quite cool spec

#

big backstabs

unkempt peak
#

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

wind furnace
#

iirc the rogue dev did say he likes the bonus as i

#

*as is

mellow urchin
#

if anything he will make it even more rng

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
#

had 62% on another attempt

#

next = 54%

wind furnace
#

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

alpine sentinel
#

how many combo points do you lose with that uptime though did the dev said something about it?

wind furnace
#

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

mellow urchin
wind furnace
#

so it depends, needs apl testing

mellow urchin
#

another pull

#

casual 13% blades uptime increase

wind furnace
#

60% shd

mellow urchin
#

60% is avg

#

can do like

#

62%+

wind furnace
#

i just don't like seeing to high uptime numbers on dance

alpine sentinel
#

yeah it feels like you barely have time to refresh rupture and SnD

mellow urchin
#

you refresh snd in dance

wind furnace
#

^

#

keeping snd has a very high priority

#

people always underestimate snd

alpine sentinel
wind furnace
#

hope serialos responds soon

unkempt peak
#

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

wind furnace
#

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

livid ferry
#

idk push just a pussy i've never seen such a drastic low

#

54% is fine lol

wind furnace
#

soon™️

mellow urchin
#

Pog

#

Any RNG with a big impact on performance sucks tbh

Crit itself is pretty much on the edge already

hazy girder
#

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

wind furnace
hazy girder
#

its something people vaguely talk about when it comes to balancing the set

#

removing the cp gain from the set bonus

wind furnace
#

oh

#

i misunderstood the sentence

hazy girder
#

it's alright, I'm incoherent at the best of times

wind furnace
#

na, i was just slow ^^

#

removing the cp effect could def. help controlling the power level

hazy girder
#

for sure and it does seem like the obvious way

#

but it felt so fun

wind furnace
#

esp. in aoe because having back to back procs can rly build up some big numbers

hazy girder
#

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

wind furnace
#

aoe in general esp. with the mentioned bugfixes

#

could end up fairly strong

unkempt peak
#

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

civic terrace
#

For now that sounds about right

wind furnace
#

but i would still be concerned

civic terrace
#

Just loot edge pat

wind furnace
#

because up to the point of acquiring the new "eon" you still am in the situation to have a non replacable offhand weapon
