100, 75, 50, 25
it's a % chance to proc and it does multiplicative damage based on stacks which are based off hp
100-75, 75-50, 50-25, 25-0
yeah so same thing then
so at some point the sylv daggers will start doing real damage and be better than 278 MH
thats the safe bet
there's no bosses i can test it on
Point is, to figure out when exactly
i guess those dagger sims were already with the new highest deeper dagger conduit
whatever that is
278?
fuu is going to tear their hair out
Idk
the ones fuu did?
yeah
idts


i can do it on the punching bag
This is gonna get degen isn’t it
in org
u need to test in raid fight
yea
cause i already know it works in m+ combat
@wind furnace im so sorry but we've made a new cringe question to sim
ngl
RIGHT?!
lemme go run to taragoop
now im glad i raided this patch
Lmfao
bro calm down with the sims

you don't even know if it works
itll work
suresure
do i have to queue LFR?
yea but pinging fuu to sim something
when you don't even know if it's a thing is
a lil rude lmao
im just gonna do outlaw
lOL
i'm running to taragoo right now

i literally apologized already and agreed it was too early to ask 
yeah
My b
i'm almost at tarra dw

go solo normal tarra
with evasion
holy
How big is thr phial nerf on 9.2 ptr?
15%
~15% i think
guys I think it's 15%
Someone better check the math
But why 😮
How does that impact its potency? Does that drop it down the priority list alot?
here's a problem though
if this is true
ye rip phial
looks like its 15%
Looks like 25% guys
which WILL get them nerfed
if they don't remove the ability to swap to them mid raid
fight
no nerfs bruh
You take that heresy out of here right now
we keep this a secret in here 
So it only does about 75% of the damage it did before right?
If they let boomkins have a WQ trinket for 2 tiers they can let us have some little ole daggies for one tier

I know 

If u give me a few I can get on
Or maybe ram can
@winged fiber invite parsleyroot
❎ non ptr gamer
Suffer well
it wont let me in sanctum
wtf
says it's not yet available on this difficulty
for all difficulties
Prob because it’s 9.2 PTR
cringe
So they turned off the raid
Yeah
You have to make it passed the trash
oh yeah thats just testable on live LOL
But you’re a rogue so
wait

my rogues locked out
im sure he could also just insta invite into a normal kill

it better work
work what?
swap weps in raid combat
dagger shenanigans
The daggers dont do damage if you swap them


I already tried this
huh
well then
outlaw alert


You could swap in a 2nd eon later in execution, that would work
wait what
bruv
that was the entire point of this
LOLOL
What did you mean by do no damage then
OH NO

I thought you meant swapping one out and keeping the damage 
GET BACK DOWN HERE
this is the sub channel not outlaw
degeneracy might still be afoot
god damnit

everyone without double mythic edge of night is now fucked
for the rest of the xpac

IF it works
oh jesus christ
no they really were not
BODIED
you barely needed 1
I mean its like 1 button though, you press it at 50% and forget about it and then on your prepull macro you put in the right weapon
guys chillchill theres a chance it doesnt apply the stacks or something
Fire and forget 
maybe the dagger that gets swapped doesnt activate
1k dps “no they were really not”
yeah and what about everyone without the dagger
it's 200 dps for sub on a full bis profile
u can do it
so "yes they really were"
jesus fuck
????
or do 8% less execute dps
disgusting
Double mythic daggers is way more than 200 dps compared to 252s
did you gloss over the full bis profile
Or you mean 285s
lol
Yeah who cares bro

there's a big difference between double mythic daggers being bis for the rest of the entire xpac
and 1 being slightly useful in an offhand
Yeah I meant the beginning of the tier
guys it was a joke
yes obviously it matters for early prog
can we all pretend i just didnt say that
Nice time to figure out the swap breakpoint
we can all just not do this

That’s where I got my 1k from. Idc about bis profiles
@buoyant gyro Are you available to play with sim?
End of tier damage is cool and fun, parsing etc. but the only thing that actually matters is getting through the tier as fast and efficiently as possible
well
Idk
considering they hotfixed this very thing
for frost dk's
going into shadowlands
as soon as it's brought to their attention
i'm sure it'll be patched

do we dare ping scarizard or try to get his attention
don't ping scarizard
or maybe hes already here
no
watching us
@ scarizard 
why would you
there's literally a pin saying don't pin him
guys calm down, i am making joke
yes but they can patch the weapon swapping
without nerfing the daggers
they did literally that for dk's
that would be the simplest
bro
or just make the dagger swap deactivate the dagger that gets swapped in
Or just not worry about it and let the game run its course
It’s probably not that much damage for it to be “911 patch this!1!1!1!111!1!!!”
kinda silly racing to the devs asking for nerfs
the world needs to know
only rogue mains would do that
nobody is asking for nerfs
💀
bro i swear every single tier its the same thing, ppl asking for nerfs
so it will probably be patched
tiring
once the devs find out
before 9.1 people were screeching about obedience nerfs
i hope it stays its cool
White list the daggers 
i use my numbpad for hotkeys for my mouse lol
they patched out the debuff staying
dont think they patched out weapon swapping
yea that's what i'm saying
ye i mean thats whatever
they'll just make it so if you swap the effect doesn't do anything
so as long as you have 1 dagger its fine
similar thing for dk's
Would this even be possible lol
why would they do it
Kinda doubt
like realistically, you would only do this for bosses where execute matters
why
not on prog
etc
i couldnt care less
prog dam is prog dam
Stop dam also good for prog apparently
Just do no dam for better prog 
but you would always have 1 sylv dagger equipped
so the effect not working doesnt make sense
you'd just swap in the 2nd dagger for 25%
That’s what I’m talking about. 21st man RLer gigachad shit
Except you’re still part of the 20 man
i mean if they can't patch it
Afking on your character
ur acting like its a huge deal
you could just use 2 sylvanas from the get go and lose like 20 dps
i kinda hope they dont r emove wep swapping from raid tho
And lose no execute dam, where the dam matters anyway
ye weapon swapping has been around since forever
even on other classes its nice to have 1 wep with aoe enchant & 1 with st enchant
i mean it does have an impact
if u get dupe weps later or w/e
it's not necessarily game breaking
but people wanting to make a rogue would probably not enjoy this
u still cannot abuse the on use weps like nine spear
Lol I dont put that much effort in honestly
so its not that big
who cares
devs
do they really
specifically have to care about stuff like this
like there's a difference between
just sub needing 1 mythic eon in offhand and it being ~200 dps gain compared to not having one
Imagine caring about not having absolute bis on your 5th alt
not having sylv dagger was always going to be a negative early on
and then sin and sub needing 2 mythics for execute cheese
yea but there's a difference between
early on and end of xpac full bis
this makes it much harder for people to make rogues
without already having sylv daggers
or not harder
what's the word
thats already the case
less enjoyable
yea and it sucked ass to make a fire mage in 8.3
or it gives the feeling of a prerequisite
deincentivizes
still didnt gut the shit out of lucid, font or the bracers
big true
whatever
folly font coral
bleh
SAME
minimal impacts rank 1's
ur never getting rank 1s anyway, lets be honest
just keep farming sylv in 9.2
2nd off toxic

lets be honest anyone that doesnt have double sylv daggers right now are also not going for rank 1s next tier
3rd off Ratio + L + nerd + kyrian
gonna be doing sylv sales
i mean private logging and caring about r1s
Just be yoppa
in 9.2
is very stupid
lmao
make ur guild public log
Have you met jpc or Cev Push
yeah this gives me copium as well, guild's gonna be selling it for a while
idc if the logs are public

But have you met him
parsing good is self satisfaction
Private logging itself is 
idc if people see it or not
Like what are you hiding
private logging is so people care less about parsing
guilds private log to make dps whores not int progress
and care more about prog / killing bosses

If you're not Liquid or Echo I dont see the point in private logging
well guilds in the top end private log so we dont get poached as easily
Yeah I know that I’m saying they fit that description homie
Lol that just doesnt work that way
fit what description
what is all this weapon swapping business about
Caring about private r1s
can some1 explain
swap to double EoN during exec
💀
it really does
lots of ppl do, but its omega pointless
pls just stop talking
in 9.2 or currently
I've never seen such a 6Head take
I mean currently you just have 2x EoN always cause there's nothing better anyway
Yeah I feel that I just think some people like to know how they rank even if it’s only for themselves to see
so 9.2
@crisp lichen Why, are you offended?
idc about allstar rankings
i just like the gratification of seeing i did good
that's it
Is this just theorycrafting or sims or what
its just a bit ignorant take
ofc, i still think its dumb as shit. I dont even care and i public log. Thats just my personal opinion tho
or disingenuous might be a better word
literally just an awful take
Tell me the benefits of private logging, because I fail to see them
bro we literally just did and you ignored it
Poaching prevention.
we are private logging prog next tier cus of many reasons
to stop people trying to parse on prog
it makes people less of parse whores and focus more on progging / killing bosses
also what stjern said
yeah i already told you the main one haha
Ok sure, that makes sense alright
If someone is willing to get poached they will leave either way
also private logging makes alot of people quit trying to parse

you get less opportunities to be poached
it makes people play better
if people can't see you though
Maybe they won’t have people approach them but they can approach people on their own
private logging will literally make your entire roster play better, i stg
- Poaching Prevention.
- Stop pad mentality (useful in lower guilds)
- Non-WF guilds still has relevant information in logs.
Like that's just 3 quick reasons
If they want to move up they will move up
it's literally beneficial to the raid
I dont think it makes people play better
it does
Thats just a mentality problem
💀
lmao
play better or not, its just an easy toggle and you can save some ppl from their parse demon brains
^
literally has multiple benefits and almost no downsides
and is no hassle to do
which is why lots of guilds chose to do it
But in some lower guilds if parsing isn’t on the mind they lose incentive to do as much damage as possible
only downside is not being able to flex your logs
if theyre good
yea but who cares about flexing logs
we know who is rly good anyways
if you ego in wow your big dork
cev
now you COULD argue that it doesnt stop poaching because if someone WANTS to leave, theyll leave themselves by giving login info to the recruiting guild or just by showing logs through screenshots
That still isn't broadcasting though
yeah
Meaning your argument isn't entirely valid.
Thats not being poached thats just leaving on your own accord
mid ranked guilds
with very high parses
*parsers
get bombarded with poach offers
im aware, im saying thats the best argument ive ever heard for it
private logging curbs that heavily
It's not just mid raanked guild. I've played both in the top end and bottom end at this tage.
because there really is no argument
stage
i got poached to wr135 when i was in wr500
no u
And it doesn't matter what WR you are, people will try to improve their roster. So they will always try to poach or pursuit players to join.
^
its kinda embarrasing, but we literally had ppl get upset they got griefed on a prog boss and got a shit log
and i really just cba dealing with that shit
ahahahhahah
some guy went to the gym at 11 PM after a raid to pump some iron to get his grey log out of his system
parsing is for farm
i purpoesfully got a 0 on KT because i felt that was a bigger accomplishment than parsing high
that's crazy man
lol

warrior ?
fair enough
Just do better next time lol who cares, boss ded
warrior = gym
i think the only 1 in my guild who ever comes in here is the other rogue
what does a druid do then
ye its fine 99% of the time. But those 1% are still annoying
go to the zoo?

hikes
fitting for a druid ngl
cant parse if you dont have bis gear, cant have bis gear if you dont kill boss
according to blas0n rogues are the ones working out and listening to edm music.
can hang around with the monkeys, where they belong
i can just see myself a warrior getting shit parse then going late night rage gym
Take a walk on the wild side
that's eu rogues
they like hardstyle
no thats just james
I do
Among other genres
hes our little muscle mascot for our entire class
and last time i checked he's na
That’s world wide baby
sorry he's the face of NA rogues
fine then you guys get gingi
COMMUNITY LEADER
he plays rogue

Communist leader?


gromnak is not the face of rogue
i mean realistically
james is probably the most popular na rogue
100%
i guess you could argue peekaboo
i rarely go on twitch so
iuno how big he is
yea the only1 who could contest his numbers i would assume is pika
pikaboo, sorry
this is very 9.2 oriented yes yes 
decent
hes....technically a bigger rogue?
double sylv dagger swap weapons cheese at 50% for the rest of the tier started this man
we're just in a dark place rn
You’re in a dark place

Yeah we’re discussing your rise to fame in 9.2 for the na rogue community
1 for sub yea
2 for sin
i'm always in a dark place
have you been to illinois
gets dark at like 4 pm in this bitch
Refuse
embed fail ☝️ 
I’d rather corral you clowns out of feedback channels back into #off-topic where the rest of the animals of the zoo dwell
the link works for me
what did i do wrong
it's not supposed to be an embed ya sock


i dont do the computer well, no bulli 


i nominate undad
isn't he eu
Yeah he played warrior this tier
canceled
@plucky storm why are you in fuu chan? you’ve ruined this place by having a BIS t28 sim that we can’t produce here and leads to mean upset purple people.
in what?
Fuu-chan 
i thought fuu was a man
But he has grill pfp


do u know if the sylv dagger sims were done with highest ilvl conduit of deeper daggers? @plucky storm
9.2 stuff
Let’s find out


They were
Yeh he did it in an advanced sim
So you gotta open the html
And dig through it a little
What's up?
chicken butt
talking about optimal time to swap to double EoN during a fight, boss hp % wise
If you're a scrub and don't have a mythic sylv dagger would you still run it in OH next tier?
if you have heroic yes
It wouldn't really be worth it until sub-25%
285 MH still wins by 0.3% even at 25-50% threshold
nice
It's 1.6% ahead sub-25% but would have to consider that's prorated across the entire fight length so unless it's some time-sensitive execute the overall DPS gain here is rather minimal
Only 0.4% over the whole fight length
It's maybe some special tech if there is some super tight execute phase but otherwise it's ignorable
Similarly 2x 285 is 0.4% better than 285 MH+Sylv OH above 75%
Which then prorates to 0.1% over the whole fight
So even if you swapped a different set for >75%, 75-25%, sub-25%
you'd gain 0.5%
thats farm stuff anyways
rng will be the diff
Sounds like im not gonna bother 
ye
pull-to-pull dagger RNG itself is probably far bigger than the swapping gain
Same for parsing tbh with the 4pc
if we take 278, just napkin math do u think it would be worth at 50% or still 25%
Cant wait to feel like im playing outlaw with daggers 
did you check it for sin?
Assassination dagger value is about half
barely worth it outside of giga highroll pulls
problem is highroll pulls will be a thing after
30 farm pulls you prob go get 1 popoff
10 dagger procs in execute go brrrr
With 278 it'd be worth sub-50% yeah
thanks
can't really do this without 2 mythic also
It's by a smaller amount at that threshold. Only like 1%
But still technically ahead
1 mythic 1 heroic would probably balance out the swap by keeping heroic equipped pre 25
With 278 MH the advantage sub-25% is more like 2.8% (compared to 1.6% for Mythic)
Although still talking only about 1% over the fight even if you swapped at 50%
Wouldn't think this is anything Blizzard would get overly concerned about
yea it's no where near as drastic as i thought it would be
still annoying though considering my bad sylv rng
Note this is with Kyrian, so that's the best case
oh interesting
Venthyr may not even be worth swapping at all
Since over the whole fight Venthyr loses 0.7% in relative terms which would eat up most of that gain even with 278
I cba to run all the combos again but napkin math seems to show it wouldn't be amazing for Venthyr 😛
thanks for the info ❤️
so just to skip the cringe, is there an easy way to make a macro that does this? swaps specificaly a Sylv dagger onto mainhand?
Equipment sets
i did them with rank 11
whats the question
It was degen memes of weapon swapping in sylv dagger mid fight
and at what % it was worth it
I think Koji did some napkin math but Im curious what the sims would say
or maybe their math was from sims idk
i think i did a execute sim
with daggers, and 2x sylvanas was not significantly ahead
What happend?
@wind furnace what did I miss did they nerf slyvanas dagger?
no
15% would be 18 itemlevel or?
the end result is what matters
so what counts is the relative strengh of trinket X to the 2nd best
Is wep swapping on gcd?
i have no idea, possible that it causes a gcd
Koji already did a bunch of sims on it
do i need to vanish when i want to swapp gear?
No you dont leave combat with vanish in a bossfight
Weapons can be swapped in combat
ok interesting.
@mellow urchin do u know if weaponswapping causes a gcd? 😄
I havent tested it but someone said it does
but does current GCD prevent you from weaponswapping?
like, could you make a macro to swap weapons after a shadowstrike and get both into the same gcd? 😄
sadge
i was thinking of degen shit where you use 285 dagger in MH for shadowstrikes and double sylv for each evis 😄
Ye that was the idea
But nah, doesnt work
But apparently its a gain to not use sylv dagger at all until sub 50% once you have 285 daggers
So 2x 285 and then swap to a sylv dagger at lower ilvls
I mean
Boss hp
its only once per fight
as you just need to know at what point its worth to use sylvans over a regular dagger
is it somewhat similar with a 278?
With 285 it was barely worth doing even in sub 25%
With 278 it was slightly better ye
And you could swap at 50% instead of 25%
But all in all was like a 1% gain to do it with 278 dagger
assuming with mythic daggers
Would be Great if all These Little Tricks are summarized somewhere
Like a degen sheet ^^
yeah and then rated between "doable", and "stop you fkn degen, its not worth it"
This would be rly cool, because no you Need Luck to read this Channel at the right time to know these thinks
nothing stopping you from making such a sheet
True But Iam Not that active to get everything into it, but i Start with this ^^
ah, i haven't seen any sims
but it should be fairly simple to do
hmm do we want silv daggers offhand (heroic) also for m+?
yes
hmm rerolling to sublety 1 week before 9.2 was a brilliant idea i see 😄
getting heroic dagger week 1 is quite a lot of luck
not sure if heroic dagger in offhand will be worth for m+ tbf
it's barely worth in ST and stats gain way more value in aoe
i dont have them yet. but i will get a guild run today. but my hopes are not that high.
didnt it outsim 278 dagger for like 150dps in off hand?
With 252 gear or 9.2 gear
i dont know with what gear just saw some sims that compared different sylv daggers to 278 daggers
Its a problem that they exist
There is like no world where you have a 278 dagger and 252 gear otherwise
true
And the more gear we get, the more value you will get from the stats on a regular dagger
While the sylv dagger dmg is static
And will never change
But to give a more nuanced picture of dagger values, you would have to run so many sim combinations of different stages of gearing. The problem is that people see a %/flat number and go panic mode cus they dont have it
Not agi
But ye crit/vers
I go panic mode cause I don’t want to wear a 246 all patch ngl 
But agi is the main scaling portion of our gear
then don't 
You could just not wear it
Solved it
sylv dagger is only better on pure single target under currently simmed circumstances
Like its not a big dps loss with more gear
You get the point
should have farmed a 259 if you're this bothered by it 😄
I mean it’s annoying. You’re full of great advice today though I see
Probably
Like i dont want to shit on the lists of sims about dagger dps. But its almost fake news territory because its just a 9.1 profile with 278/285 dagger
unless you're in a world top 50 guild, 1 player in the raid doing 1% less dps due to an item certainly won't prevent you from killing any boss
Not even then
People just want their characters to have the best gear they can is all
I mean most ppl did sod prog without a dagger, and people think its gonna be an issue in a new tier
Else it’s fomo for people
Yeah I get that tbh
at least you have the option of running mythic sylv every week with a bunch of rogues 😄
i only had the option of hoping for a vault drop
sylv becomes super trivial with more gear too
246 to 259 in an OH is way less dps than you think
That ground can be covered by either person having more/less rng
Quite easily
Oh i realize
i would take the higher baseline damge over "coverage with more/less rng"
I’m saying the difference being small or not is irrelevant people are just scared of missing out i feel like
they are
Also if you are worried about parsing in 9.2, you should also consider that the person who has the golden run of rng with the tier set will always be r1. Daggers mean fuck all in that case
Which is understandable tbh
its literally the reason people freak out
the diffrence between mythic/heroic weapons is less problematic
than between no dagger and heroic/mythic ones
In full 9.2 gear is it still better ?
We dont have any sims on it
only in offhand
Yeah I meant OH
We dont know by how much
i can make a sim for it later
Its not gonna be 4-5%
its more like 1-2%
Which one is it we don’t have sims or we don’t know ? :p
Both
it is
Nice
OH matter little, the secondary stats is basically what its there for
So yea its a very weak item slot
Yeah
problem for offhand is that the slot is very bad
Ran the EP axe all of 8.3 was great
so its easy for a strong effect to stay relevant
so what changed ?
For early on
Its very good
But lots of people wont have that situation happen to them
the daggers lead to a very strong baseline but sub does gain less than other ones from additional systems
I guess the % damage of the daggers will go down over time. But it’s gonna be high-ish early
having dagger vs. no dagger can be 1k dps
early on
but thats again comparing no dagger to weak daggers
not if you compare rank 11 with dagger vs. rank 13 without
Ah ye
but you can assume that ~1k is pmuch the worse case
so like normal new raid daggers
vs. mythic this raid
I think its reasonable to assume we will have 272 daggers when mythic opens
Which is valor buffed m+ dagger
Will Valor be uncapped from the start?
No
it will be capperoni
I guess I’m just very confused how it was from a dead spec if nerfed for prog to being ok?
I feel like I missed something
So gotta safe tons of valor for Faulty Countermeasure
I see
In 9.1 gear the daggers are obviously a bigger part of dps
so for post prog
No
Heroic +
The only dagger comparisons we have is 9.1 gear swapped with some shitty dagger
And thats the 1000 ppl see and freak out
is the simc profile done @wind furnace ?
the problem is
The weird thing is, that I have no idea how we compare to other classes. All I see are the sims from rogues comparing internally to other rogue specs. Idk if we are good or bad overall
Average from what it looks like
i mean done for what is under the implementation available
Unlucky, since our dmg profile doesn't seem to match the kind of fights so well in the new raid
so if we have “bad 252 setup” vs “nearly optimal simc profile” it should fall somewhere in the middle if you run EoN vs 278
Well, you got anduin which is a very good sub fight
And thats the current hardest fight we know about
huh?
they said something changed in Mythic, 100% dmg in 2nd phase but some increased dmg in P1
i don't think comparing both extremes is that great
take the extremes and it should end in the middle
Ye its still a fight with lots of funnel
as saying "look the dagger is only worth 2% if you have bis gear" won't rly mean people are less concerned
but ye
i get what you say
In almost all phases
true, i mean certainly blz is not going to make it quite the show for sub if mythic is considered.
True, actually. It's gonna depend on the comparison tho. Since we still have no raid utility, we would have to do a good chunk of more dps.
Sub funnel isnt that strong anymore, to be considered problematic
Its just a niche
And slightly better than others
Not combo levels
from a very simplistic setup you could plot point the gearing level as the value drops. but yes people still going to freak
it is still rly strong
if the P2 starts always with 100%hp, fire mage or hunters would be up.
indeed
Prob wont use it on anduin if the guy is 100% each phase
just swap to it if there’s a burn
if you really wanted to degen it. change enchants on the weapons
hardest #8 boss in history, lul
Sylv dagger is actually quite tragic on higher hp levels
agree
is crimson vial gonna be free with the new conduit level?
other than the gcd to press it obviously
soothing is still quite good tbh
Yea in combat it is, out of combat no
Mythic profile, dagger values:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ntiSgaq7cNLiCcY9qNeJEr
sim with enemy starting on 75%:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7X6pS1cXH2AFCR5LpbggYE
starting on 50%:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/f7ksqVKriMSqtRuLKB6B5J
starting on 25%:
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fzkW9Aj1VrYF4D2dDVa4jd
basically means switching in your mainhand would be marginal better on 50%
@clear zephyr think did ask about it.
Unsure who else was interessted
