ill sit today and will try to work on assa

i rly like idea of bleds

next edge
#

assa raid and m+ is such a diff world

terse otter
#

and hate BF machanic

#

thats all

next edge
#

in terms of how hard it is

any time you play qd you use it when it glows

#

i wanna cry 😦 i got the beta access email 2 weeks ago and i didnt notice

oak sky
#

Well

#

Nevermind

#

You do because its not a loss of cp because ruthlessness

#

Iirc

#

But like now its fan the hammer

#

Which is even more different

thorn crater
#

is there a way to import settings binds and ui from live to beta?

slim hamlet
#

ui has a copy code, and keybinds are real fast to change

next edge
#

tbh

oak sky
#

Qd is still around

#

i know a famous rwf rogue player who claims that outlaw is most skilled spec in the game tho...

slim hamlet
#

who could that be

oak sky
#

Idk every spec takes a different skillset

#

And every spec is 100% learnable

slim hamlet
#

Surerly havoc is the highest skill floor spec

oak sky
#

Havoc is a lot different in df

nocturne current
#

I played Outlaw for a long long time and I had to switch because it was just braindead to play... and was either Outlaw or Sub.

terse otter
slim hamlet
#

Outlaw is highest dps apm right?

oak sky
#

Outlaw or fury

nocturne current
#

Yeah but half of the APMs is just spamming Dispatch lul

oak sky
#

Thats exactly the point right

#

What makes a spec difficult for some people doesnt make it difficult for everyone

slim hamlet
#

Imo feral is prob the hardest

#

but also one of the specs I've played the least

oak sky
#

Imo it doesnt matter at all

nocturne current
#

Then 1/4 for checking the bones and 1/4 for a combo point check or two and that’s it.

oak sky
#

Read the wowhead guide/discord or learn from someone who knows their shit, play something for a while and anyone can master it

#

Applies to all specs equally

#

The real skill in this game is less in the dps rotation than all the other stuff

slim hamlet
#

what do you mean

oak sky
#

Movement, defensives, intangibles

#

Thats what makes you a really sick player

slim hamlet
#

dps is all that matters

#

I have my dps meter full screen with see through

oak sky
#

Yeah same

nocturne current
#

The only time Outlaw was meaningly challenging mentally, was during that time they had the Keep Your Wits About You thing stacking to 33 and changed the gameplay based on stacks

oak sky
#

If i'm not at the top i turn off my monitor

nocturne current
#

Other than that...

oak sky
#

No point in looking

slim hamlet
#

True and real

slim hamlet
#

unironically

#

Still hitting grey parses is a bitch

oak sky
#

Undergeared?

slim hamlet
#

Well

#

It was ironic

#

But I thought adding the "unironically" would make it more fun

oak sky
#

Sorry its like 5 am im not totally lucid

slim hamlet
#

Fair

oak sky
#

No, its not fair

#

I'm a moron

#

Call it like it is

slim hamlet
#

Fair

next edge
#

but sure

#

It is not "just high apm" at all

oblique wasp
#

hibois question - when is the last tick of garrote please?

slim hamlet
#

So is there a better way to find a raiding guild, than on wowprogress because it's hard to find actual still active guilds, that also raids around the level I'm looking for

slim hamlet
#

I'll check it out

next edge
#

to take an "approach"

#

to your objectives or goals

slim hamlet
#

I remember doing it for a m+ team, where I thought it sucked

#

lol

thorn crater
#

hm where do i add the addons on the game? i see only wow classic wow classic era and wow retail. shouldnt there be a folder for wow beta? or does it take it from somewhere else?

balmy condor
#

should be there

thorn crater
# balmy condor

playing from an internet cafe makes things hard to locate since you have restricted access to hard drives... ty gonna figure it out

oblique wasp
# balmy condor wdym by that

my question is - each garrote tick at a rate influenced by haste and so on, and I9 would need to know when is the last one so taht I know I can refresh new garrote without missing hte last tick - the point I need to figure out is if I have empowered garrote and it is running out - do I hit new normal garrote after it defo fallen of, or like 0,5 seconds before it drops?

#

sry I wrote like shit, I in Wow situation kinda right now šŸ˜„

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

balmy condor
#

you refresh at any point in that last 30%

oblique wasp
#

I understand pandemic

balmy condor
#

okay

#

so then just refresh during that

oblique wasp
#

but my question is - if I refresh empowered garrote with normal one, I am losing the increased ticks that were overrriden no?

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

empowered garrotes you just let tick out

oblique wasp
#

ok so I wait until empowered falls of then

#

a reapply from scratch

solar tangle
#

does empowred garrotes have different spellid? i need a WA for this shit, i know myself xD

balmy condor
#

yes

balmy condor
#

the last tick of any dot is actually literally at 0 seconds remaining, and it's called "the partial" because it's a fraction of a tick, since with haste it doesn't add up evenly

#

so

#

now you know some dot trivia

next edge
balmy condor
#

partials can get really yucky

#

I wouldn't worry about it

#

just let empowered always run out

next edge
#

End of the day

oblique wasp
#

ok thanks very much

next edge
#

a 1 second tick

#

won't change anything

#

on a 5-6-7 minutes fight

balmy condor
#

yeh

oblique wasp
#

I understand but I am using other WAs and addons which are set up so that if I make mistake in rotation, it honks like factory siren sooo šŸ˜„

next edge
#

uh.

#

Honestly I would never use such addons or WAs

#

because it is very unlikely that they will tell you the rotation more than the basics

#

because what you do can change a lot depending on the situation

oblique wasp
#

its more like another layer of motivation

swift oak
#

!guide

oblique wasp
#

anyways thank you very much for your advices šŸ™‚

thorn crater
#

question about the opener. apologize in advance if someone already asked and answered. can we just garrote SND garrote rup ER rup Exsa DM? and then SBS muti shiv KB envenom. at that point garrote should be running out and vanish garrote again?

#

ure only missing 2 seconds of a maxed out stealth garrote

#

also iu dont know to which point i need to add the ptr=1 so raidbots accepts my sim šŸ˜›

balmy condor
#

that's actually almost what the apl does atm as well

#

opener wise

#

except it goes gar snd gar sbs rup

winter gale
#

Guys, I returned to the game after almost two tiers...can I do some dmg as assa tonight in CN prepatch with 290 gear ? šŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

and then it's doing a stupid and going mut mut rup and not er rup like it should

#

which is something I'm hoping to fix

winter gale
thorn crater
slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

so then you gotta go and figure out how to get the cp for the env without delaying the kingsbane

thorn crater
balmy condor
#

it's a little messy

balmy condor
winter gale
#

If I may ask ur leggos? I'm geared as for SoFO: Venthyr, Unity/Duskwalker

fun

#

that means the ptr thing didn't pull the beta items

#

and you did this?

balmy condor
winter gale
#

Is Duskwalkers now affecting Deathmark?

balmy condor
#

yes

winter gale
#

Ty @balmy condor ā¤ļø

balmy condor
#

np

thorn crater
#

yes

balmy condor
#

hmmm

thorn crater
#

lemme dm u the simc from the addon

balmy condor
#

I just did the same thing with my beta char and it worked fine

thorn crater
#

do ineed to download a simc for beta?>

#

is it a different one?

balmy condor
#

no, raidbots doesn't care

#

it knows

slim hamlet
#

Just making sure, we def wait like the 10-15 secs for vanish before using Deathmark and kingsbane on the 2nd go right?

#

If that made sence

balmy condor
grim breach
#

How does Find Weakness work exactly? I don't see it add a debuff, does it trigger off a stealthed garrotte? And does it affect all abilities or just auto-attacks, the tool-tip just mentions "All your attacks"

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

But which cp?

balmy condor
#

the opener one I was mumbling about earlier

slim hamlet
#

oh

grim breach
balmy condor
#

cause the whole issue is that if you go rup er rup exsang deathmark, now you don't have er to go deathmark er env kb shiv

#

BUTTTTTTTT

#

if we pull the vanish forward

#

and go rup er rup vanish gar exsang deathmark

#

now we have the 3cp from the gar

#

so then we can shiv env kb

#

which sounds pretty good to me

royal lantern
#

whisp can scold me if im wrong

thorn crater
#

and u dont have neither CP nor energy issues

#

due to tea

#

and honestly 9/10 times

balmy condor
#

so then the full thing would be

gar snd gar sbs rup er rup vanish gar exsang deathmark shiv env kingsbane

#

and then you're just chillin?

thorn crater
#

you will land in one of the other empowered CPs to use an enevenom pre KB

balmy condor
#

is there a glaring mistake in that sequence

thorn crater
balmy condor
#

that sounds wrong

#

not like conceptually

#

but just damage wise

#

early sbs is typically very good

thorn crater
#

btw u dont vanish

balmy condor
#

wdym

thorn crater
#

so if u dont SBS

slim hamlet
balmy condor
thorn crater
#

the emp garrote only ticks 3 seconds before u use exsa

balmy condor
#

it was a gain without exsang

#

didn't show gains with exsang

strange python
#

whenever I see Whispyr or Guy say something like "wdym" I duck for the inc truth bomb

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

u do gar SND gar rup (SBS) ER rup exsa DM shiv env KB

#

vanish gar muti gar

#

would t hat work?

balmy condor
#

no

#

because that shiv is 1cp into the envenom

#

you can't maintain the envenom debuff at the start of the kingsbane

thorn crater
#

hold on i might be missing something

#

lemme try it

balmy condor
#

if anything, you would gar snd gar rup er rup THEN SBS, exsang dm shiv env kb

#

but I'm not sure sbs + shiv makes enough cp for that envenom

thorn crater
#

ok so

balmy condor
#

that's why I want to squeeze the vanish in because that's a guaranteed 3cp gar

strange python
#

man, I've been playing OL so long I forgot about the intense opener discussions in sin

balmy condor
#

also auto-syncs

#

so that's fun

#

sbs earlier

thorn crater
#

ure right about cps

balmy condor
#

that's good

thorn crater
#

u exsa DM muti shiv

#

and either ure on an empowered one

#

or u can use a second SBS t oget there

#

so u envenom kb

#

and at that point garrote expires

#

so u vanish garrote muti garrote second shiv envenom

#

ngl i think sbs makes it easy to manipulate landing on an empowered CP

balmy condor
#

Yeah but you can’t guarantee it is the issue

#

Like if ER doesn’t crit, you land on 2

#

Then you sbs

#

It crits

thorn crater
#

if u dont u just muti again to get it to 5 CPs and envenom then

balmy condor
#

Now you’re on 2 again

thorn crater
#

ure one GCD behind but its the same thing no?

balmy condor
#

Yeah I guess but why do that when you can guarantee it right

thorn crater
#

to extend empowered garrote

#

u still vanish like 3-4 seconds after DM

#

so u can still sync them for the second use

balmy condor
#

Cause if you vanish before the exsang and sync everything up, you will always land on 3, then shiv to 4, and get that animacharge, so it doesn’t matter if the er crit or not earlier since that’s 2 or 3

thorn crater
#

ok here is a questino about the ER

#

is there a a CP that is always empowered?

#

or are they randomized between 2 and 5?

balmy condor
balmy condor
thorn crater
#

wait then im confused what is the issue

#

can ER crit?

balmy condor
#

Of course

thorn crater
#

and give an extra CP?

balmy condor
#

Yes

thorn crater
#

ah i see

#

so u land on 3 instead of 2

#

for the empowered rupture

balmy condor
#

But your issue is actually if ER doesn’t crit

thorn crater
#

no its not

#

u always get to 2

#

and have 3-4-5 available after

#

no?

#

u use ER at zero CPs

balmy condor
#

Cause the problem you run into is ER not critting, going to 2, and then sbs critting into 2 cp so then you have to mut after

#

Which is a variance you need to account for

#

Where as pulling the vanish earlier means the ER can be 2 or 3

#

Cause the gar shiv will always be 4 or 5

thorn crater
#

i see where we have the incongruence

#

its the SBS pre exsa

balmy condor
#

Also I really want the shit to sync up and vanishing during Deathmark doesn’t accomplish that

#

So I’m trying to fucking force it

thorn crater
#

tahts why what im saying makes sense for me but not for u. i had in mind u dont use it pre DM

#

if u dont SBS pre DM

#

what im saying makes sense right

balmy condor
#

Yeah I instantly reject that

thorn crater
#

u always land on 2

balmy condor
#

If you don’t, it makes sense

thorn crater
#

i mean is a 5 second delay that important?

#

on SBS?

balmy condor
#

But I’m throwing that out instantly because no shot you delay sbs that long

balmy condor
#

There was ideas to make it open with sbs and then snd gar

#

That’s how good it was

thorn crater
#

i see

balmy condor
#

I mean obviously I’ll still test sbs during dm

#

But I’m very skeptical

thorn crater
#

what about swapping doomblade and SBS to TTB and a point in dashing?

#

and change the opener to what i said

#

wit hKB always obvi

#

i dont see this shit even being worth discussing without KB

balmy condor
#

Just changing the talents like that is already refuted by sims

#

Like the opener would make sense without sbs how you proposed

#

But it’s also instantly -2% or something and lost cleave potential

#

As you take more things out it gets less confusing though which could help make a baseline

thorn crater
#

im so mad i cant sim what i want right now

#

i dont get why shit isnt recognized

#

hm

#

if u run the tests on delaying SBS till DM can u let me know howl it goes?

#

cause NGL i dont see how 5 seconds of SBS ar ebetter than a longer duration on garrote after it has been repeatedly buffed

#

but i could just be stubborn and dumb lol

balmy condor
#

It’s a reasonable assumption

#

My gut just rejects holding onto it for so long

#

It just feel icky

#

Also fuck the mid DM vanish bullshit

thorn crater
#

i mean

#

technically

#

its earlier than before

balmy condor
#

Really don’t like that one

thorn crater
#

because u exsa with non max duration garrote

#

its like 3 seconds less so it comes off cd like 3 seconds into DM

#

which makes it fine?

balmy condor
#

Yeh I get that, but the sync still isn’t happening yet

thorn crater
#

ngl i wish i could test taht shit myself

#

but i dont know how

balmy condor
#

It wants to slam everything on cooldown so bad that vanish will never land together again

thorn crater
#

at least i can see the feel of it now that im in beta

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

That’s actually more helpful a lot of the time

thorn crater
#

though i do assume

#

even if the sim does not like it

earnest imp
#

Whats the target limit to start using fok?

thorn crater
#

in MOST situations

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

holding DM for 3 seconds is not only fine

#

its prolly happening anyway

#

cause, mechanics

#

moves

balmy condor
#

Yeh

thorn crater
#

etc

#

thats why i think what im saying works

#

and it technically lines up

balmy condor
#

Yeah like in reality probably fine

#

But the sim either needs to take an L and just absorb the dps loss and claim it’s more human

#

Or I gotta find some way to get rid of the edge cases and find a gain

thorn crater
#

if we are talking about a 0,8 dps loss

#

fuck that shit im doing it

#

even 1,something would be fine

#

cause ure not sitting there hitting dolls

#

2% is a lot though ngl

balmy condor
#

Yeah sure, everyone sets their limit differently

#

I think my best sync logic was like -0.7

#

But we’re not gonna just hit the sim with -0.7% because it ā€œfeels betterā€ for a human

thorn crater
#

no i get that

balmy condor
#

It’s rough out here

#

:(

thorn crater
#

i still think im onto something though ngl

#

cause it gives better flow to the opener

balmy condor
#

Yeh I mean it sounds reasonable

thorn crater
#

SBS feels awkward that early, same with that vanish

#

u waste a lot of dmg with that

balmy condor
#

The other issue is like, getting the sim to do that

#

Without destroying the rest of the logic

#

Cause openers aren’t a thing we specifically optimize for

thorn crater
#

when you create a custom apl, cant you change just hte first lines of it?

balmy condor
#

Unless it’s major

thorn crater
#

like, take into consideration the second u DM

#

and say allow SBS cast only after X seconds

balmy condor
#

Sure you can, but you’d have to either make new lines that have a time constraint

#

Yeah

#

Exactly

thorn crater
#

btw i have NO idea if what im saying is doable šŸ˜›

balmy condor
#

But time constraints like that are a big no no

#

You’d basically be hard coding an opener into the sim

#

And that’s super illegal

thorn crater
#

is it?

#

why?

#

isnt that hte only way to test various openers though?

balmy condor
#

Because that’s not how APL’s function

#

It’s too rigid

thorn crater
#

can u run 30 second sims?

balmy condor
#

Yeh

#

That would be to test it

thorn crater
#

that way u can look at it vs diff openers rihgt?

#

and then move on from there

balmy condor
#

But you can’t just leave it as ā€œsbs if Deathmark and time <20ā€

#

You gotta put it into the actual logic

#

And that’s usually very difficult for an opener specific situation

thorn crater
#

so what you're saying is that you can't hard code opener APLs with giving the bot instruction on the sequence of spells?

#

and test them against each other

balmy condor
#

You can hard code them to test

thorn crater
#

i mean thats all that matters then right?

balmy condor
#

But it’s not gonna fly past testing

thorn crater
#

oooh so u cant basically use it forever is what ure saying

#

and if u use a different opener from the apl the sim will always be off

balmy condor
#

Yeah like just to test, that’s exactly what you’d do

#

But then you find the opener

#

And then what

#

You gotta break it apart and integrate it into the original logic

#

And that’s really hard

#

So at some point usually what happens is you just go ā€œfuck it close enoughā€ because shuffling a gcd back and forth 3 seconds doesn’t change anything

#

And the sim just kinda does it’s opener and calls it a day

cold spoke
#

machine learning simc is the future

thorn crater
#

ι μεαν

#

i mean

#

if the only problem with that htough is just a simple delay on SBS

#

thats easy to just as a delay in the apl

#

if there isnt anything more to it

#

no?

#

cause like you said u decided at the start that for the APL it makes sense to open with SBS

balmy condor
#

Machine learning simc has been tried before but it’s not really that great either for a whole host of reasons and we still make sure the sim is reasonably human, like we limit it from doing inhumanly fast proc reactions and stuff

thorn crater
#

but the buffs have changed the dmg spread since then

bold drum
thorn crater
#

or did i understand that wrong

bold drum
#

but in theory sth fun to play with

balmy condor
#

If coding were always that easy bugs wouldn’t exist :P

thorn crater
#

thats why ure the expert

balmy condor
#

I’m sure something will go horribly wrong in the process

thorn crater
#

and im just spitballing here

cold spoke
thorn crater
balmy condor
#

Yeah either one

thorn crater
#

figuring out a new opener 10 seconds into the beta

#

ure welcome

#

XD

balmy condor
#

0.2% gained from opener

#

Banger

cold spoke
#

open with garrote

#

go wild after

#

whatever your heart tells you to

balmy condor
#

Gets bleeds up, press the other cooldowns after, cast a couple envenoms

#

Opener complete

thorn crater
#

just let me enjoy this

#

it feels good

balmy condor
#

I’ve been lowkey dreading this opener stuff

cold spoke
#

make a castsequence and pretend youre playing fury

thorn crater
#

and i came to uncrowned to test shit cause this place feelsgood

balmy condor
#

But it’s on my docket for today

thorn crater
#

so ur suggested opener is gar SND gar rup SBS vanish gar exsa DM?

bold drum
crude topaz
steel ridge
#

3p

thorn crater
#

oph ure right

#

i forgot the reapp of rupture in there somehwere

crude topaz
#

3p but don't we want pandemic bleeds pre exsa dm?

cold spoke
thorn crater
#

that is teh whole discussion i am having with whispyr all this time šŸ˜›

#

the sim loves it

#

cause it also lines up DM with vanish

cold spoke
#

not that stupid

thorn crater
#

i prolly missed a muti rupture somehwere in tehre

cold spoke
#

yeah else you'd be exanging baseline 3cp rupture

#

-2s

thorn crater
#

not hte point of the convo

cold spoke
#

i like 3cp rupture into er rupture for big exsang

#

no clue if thats any good tho

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

but

#

didnt u say u keep ER for shiv env?

#

wasnt that the argument before?

balmy condor
#

Or

Gar snd gar rup er rup vanish gar exsang dm shiv env kb and you fucking sbs wherever I guess

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

ye tahts what im saying what are the sims using now? could u let me know? sorry for spam šŸ˜›

balmy condor
#

Right now the sim goes gar snd gar sbs rup mut mut rup exsang dm er env kb shiv

thorn crater
#

ye that feels both wrong

cold spoke
#

demon opener

thorn crater
#

and also forcing at least one charge of tea

#

in case u dont crit

cold spoke
#

2x mutilate sounds dire

balmy condor
#

It actually doesn’t tea even with triple mut

thorn crater
#

HOW DOES IT HAVE ENERGY?

#

bruh

#

what are u feeding the simbot

#

unless it has BL on opener

balmy condor
#

It does

thorn crater
#

šŸ˜›

#

ok i get it then

#

kinda

#

can u test both versions of my thing?

balmy condor
#

Yeah sim opener is a little silly

thorn crater
#

both with using sbs early and with delaying?

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

cause i get there is a variance

#

but i actually think its controllable

#

either with shiv or a second SBS

balmy condor
#

Oh it definitely is controllable

#

I’d just want to avoid the variance if possible

thorn crater
#

ngl i hated SBS as a spell since the moment i saw it on the tree cause i didnt play SL

#

but now that i can fuck around with it in game with everything

#

i just see it as a CP manipulator

crude topaz
#

so that opener doesn't care about pandemic, just aims to bleed -> refresh bleed -> exang dmg and then env part

thorn crater
#

doesnt have to be more

crude topaz
#

exang dm*

balmy condor
#

That’s not anything special

crude topaz
#

ah I see I see, thanks

balmy condor
#

Not sure that’s helpful to him unless you want him to follow the logic tree for 15 gcds

subtle kiln
#

welcome to the assa opener. 2ez

thorn crater
#

it doesnt let me copy the character i dno why

#

ive tried

balmy condor
#

Aight quick nap me think

#

And then idk

cold spoke
subtle kiln
terse otter
#

ok i finaly got the rotation mostly

thorn crater
balmy condor
#

I cannot

#

I work 2-10 today

#

Very cursed

thorn crater
#

welp

balmy condor
#

Maybe tomorrow

thorn crater
#

too bad i would have liked to see u run those sims

#

and be in chat

#

to furhter discuss

cold spoke
#

pro tip, sbs boss before combat so you dont have to use it during opener

balmy condor
#

Yeh I doubt I figure it all out today

thorn crater
#

and u waste the 3 second window of imp garrote

balmy condor
#

Yeh

cold spoke
#

i dont mind that vanish

balmy condor
#

The vanish there is definitely whack

#

But it’s the only thing the sims even remotely considered when testing exsang sync stuff

cold spoke
#

lines up with dm just nice on 2m

balmy condor
#

It was either be forever cursed vanishing halfway into dm

uncut echo
#

What other classes is realz working on?

balmy condor
#

Or vanish before and fuck the opener

cold spoke
#

dh i think

thorn crater
#

bruh it still lines up with what im saying. if u SBS as well before DM it lines up even earlier

#

u literally delay DM for 2 seconds to have both

uncut echo
balmy condor
#

Yeah it didn’t like any of that

#

Any logic where dm was held for vanish just dumpstered

#

But idk

#

Maybe delaying stuff and delaying the dm can change that

thorn crater
#

is the dps loss noticeable if u take TTK over amp? with KB always

subtle tundra
#

🤨

thorn crater
#

ok ive done 10 opens with each recount averages about 7k stronger opener with the vanish inside DM. no buffs no food no nothing. thought thats not representative i fear.

#

maybe it is because it feels smoother

subtle tundra
#

youre really looking at just the opener

#

?

#

also if its like 2% difference you wont see it in details

#

by testing like this

thorn crater
#

the whole convo is about openers

subtle kiln
#

at some point we’re going to realize it’s CN UH and the opener min maxing won’t mater as much as just getting everything going and lining up later.

subtle tundra
thorn crater
#

cause its interesting to me ?

iron orchid
subtle kiln
#

they iir forced the opener and then just had the apl lineup during the fight

subtle tundra
#

like you only care about comparing 2 details in opener only?

#

the fuck?

thorn crater
#

is there a reason ure being aggro?

#

small pp?

subtle tundra
#

my pp size is completely confidential

#

there's 1 person who knows

thorn crater
#

still dont get why upset

#

was just a convo about openers with whisp for hte past half hour

subtle tundra
#

cause you started comparing details numbers

thorn crater
#

my point was on 9it feeling smoother

#

and not awkward

subtle tundra
#

with a small sample size

thorn crater
subtle tundra
#

and testing really weird things

#

and with the difference between the things youre testing not noticeable unless very high sample size

thorn crater
#

thank you captain obvious for repeating what i said

#

well done

#

again, dont get why ure aggro

subtle tundra
#

so yea thats why i was "aggro"

#

feelcrafting does that

thorn crater
#

there is literally zero reason for u to be upset over something random regarding the spec that someone says in here.

#

ignore it move on

subtle tundra
#

im not upset

#

wtf?

thorn crater
#

welp it was a thought about something i was doing i didnt mean it to become a topic or an issue

#

if it did my bad

#

everything u said i included in my own statement

thorn crater
#

And whether that is really worth it or not

#

Like do those 6 seconds do as much

terse otter
#

Varas can i find some VoD from beta on ur twitch ? can u link me ur twitch ?

#

i know i saw u pumpiung yesterday

subtle tundra
#

its linked on my profile

terse otter
#

thx

#

ā¤ļø

iron orchid
thorn crater
#

So it’s either gar snd gar sbs er rup exsa DM shiv env KB vanish garr muti garr envenom

#

Or u don’t SBS before DM

#

To make sure u have the empowered CPs for the envenom

limber lion
#

huh

thorn crater
#

If u do SBS before, u use second SBS to manipulate landing on either an emp CP or to get 6 and envenom

#

If necessary

#

Like, if everything goes wrong

#

Whisp said he’s gonna try to test is later

#

It

#

It essentially puts a 3 sec diff between DM and vanish

#

Which in my mind does not equate a dps loss over 5 mins, even 6. Cause you gain a whole extra emp garr in DM

#

For 15 seconds

#

That should cover those 6-9 seconds difference/delay

limber lion
#

I just don't really get the holding SBS part

terse otter
#

during AoE after i spread bleeds with IC, how many of them are u trying to maintain manualy? like 3-4 ?

thorn crater
#

Supposedly

limber lion
#

Previously you would always press SBS as your first ability because you want the dot up asap

#

And now in Dragonflight we have Lethal Dose

thorn crater
#

It’s what whisp will test

limber lion
#

which gives SBS even more value

subtle tundra
thorn crater
#

If those 5 seconds of delay are a dos loss

#

Dps

limber lion
#

5 seconds?

#

Where do you get 5 seconds

thorn crater
#

For the first envenom

terse otter
thorn crater
#

Use before civ

subtle tundra
#

CT to maintain the bleed it applies. if everything is ruptured from IC you can press it more

thorn crater
#

Same opener move SBS before shiv

terse otter
#

kk got it

thorn crater
#

To eliminate variance

limber lion
#

and then you shiv and you'll be at 4-5 which is guaranteed ER

terse otter
#

u guys start using fok instead of mutilate on 2+ targets ?

subtle tundra

what

Garr SND garr rup

#

You ER at 0

#

U use the 2 CP emp for the rup

#

Into exsa DM

limber lion
#

Just slam one mutilate before Exsang

or the sbs

drowsy parcel

i havent followed dragonflight at all, do we play ER in all content?

limber lion

yes we do

drowsy parcel

please help

limber lion
subtle tundra

so, do we shiv -> kb or kb-> shiv with 2 charges?
and do i keep 2 charges of shiv for like 10 seconds to get both in kb?

nocturne current
# terse otter u guys start using fok instead of mutilate on 2+ targets ?

Although I use it only at 3+ because in a 3 situation I want to execute one of the mobs as fast as possible to drop pressure from the pack. Because either..

1 - If if it's a 3 pack, one of the mobs is probably a high threat/mini-boss one.
2 - If it's the rest of a pack I want to drop 1 mob down to a 2 pack as soon as possible to alleviate stress from the encounter.

thorn crater
# limber lion Just explain this logic to me, it makes no sense to me

I’ve erased 3 times what i was writing. Essentially looking for a way to not use vanish before DM. The holding the SBS is a tinfoil. The main point is that whisp was saying you hold ER for the KB envenom shit and I asked if instead u use it pre DM to not have to vanish

#

I dno im on the phone and walking it’s harder to explain that entire conversation

subtle tundra
limber lion
subtle tundra
#

cause m+ timers are a thing

limber lion
#

Also of course you'd want to ER Rupture to get a full exsanguinated rupture for the entire Deathmark window, surely you're not holding ER and skipping that part.

nocturne current
subtle tundra
#

huh

#

99% of the situations you want all the mobs dead at the same time

nocturne current
#

On paper.

subtle tundra
#

from beta experience

nocturne current
#

Not in reality.

#

But that's a choice. I rather not gamble a high threat mob alive for a minimal optimized overall.

limber lion
#

If you have 3 random mobs

#

and there's no prio mobs

subtle tundra
#

its not about an optimezed overall

limber lion
#

you kill them at the same time

#

because it's more damage

#

and faster

subtle tundra
#

its about killing the pack as fast as possible for the timer

limber lion
#

and the thing about m+ is killing stuff as fast as possible

subtle tundra
#

because m+ has a timer

nocturne current
#

Yeah except of those 3 mobs alive, it's very likely that 1 of them is the very high HP one that's dishing out whirlwinds or AoE in your entire group. Or it's the last remaining 3 of a pack that already has put so much pressure in your group you're gambling for DPS.

limber lion
#

what does that second part even mean

#

If you're killing a pack with 8 mobs and you've killed the first 5 mobs

subtle tundra
#

those are very specific situations which dont happen often

keen mist
#

Hey cev ur cute

limber lion
#

and there's 3 useless mobs remaining

limber lion
nocturne current
subtle tundra
limber lion
#

oh okay

normal mist
#

I think they know what they are talking about xD

subtle tundra
#

if you pulled 8 mobs and 3 are left those mobs definetly dont do much

#

compared to all 8

nocturne current
#

Yeah but you already invested the resources into the first five that don't you don't have access now should shit go wrong. I mean, if you want to optimize it, go for it, I rather secure the pack and drop down from 3 -> 2 and just maintain the last two at the same time.

The edge of AoE to Single target for me it's just gambling gray area.

subtle tundra
#

im almost, if not all situations, of high end content where this would be relevant, you would know if the tank is in danger or not

#

from the mobs that are left and what they do

subtle tundra
#

and again. in most situations the tank isnt in danger at the end of the pack

#

finishing a pack 2 seconds faster is more important to me

#

there have been plenty of dungeons where 10-20 seconds gained over the course of a dungeon would've timed it

nocturne current
limber lion
#

Again

#

you're talking about prio targets

#

we're not talking about prio targets

subtle tundra
#

the high threat target dies before everything else in a good group though

limber lion
#

that's completely different

subtle tundra
#

and if youre an assa rogue you should make sure of that

#

you deathmark kb exsang it and destroy it

thorn crater
#

Ok so apparently (whisps conclusion) if you sbs at start and use the RC rup there is a potential that after shiv on that opener you land on the same CP you used earlier so you don’t have a maxed out envenom. Like I said that’s the smallest problem

#

@limber lion sorry for the delay im on the road.

limber lion
#

Also does it matter if it's not a maxed out Envenom?

#

You still have enough time to build for a second Envenom right after that

nocturne current
#

Sure, may be, but that's just my play style. I rather de-escalate the threat gradually making the transition from AoE to single target even if it at the cost of DPS. If I still fail the dungeon for lack of damage then that's another story...

limber lion
#

There's literally no threat in 3 mobs that do nothing

#

But if it works for you, keep at it

nocturne current
#

But it's probably because I just see it the other way around where higher DPS would be the last fix solution over survivability/etc.

limber lion
#

It's just pointless single targeting a crab that does nothing but stare at you instead of doing AoE to clear the 3 crabs faster

#

in an environment

nocturne current
#

I mean, it's pointless in the end because at one point everything needs to be like Varas said pixel-perfect gameplay in DPS so, mobs will have to survive yeah.

limber lion
#

built around speed

subtle tundra
#

the worst feeling is when you play the dungeon perfectly and you dont time cause of dps.

#

0 death run and dont time

nocturne current
subtle tundra
#

and yes it has happened to me

trim dirge
#

maybe you’d prefer outlaw damage profile

subtle kiln
#

if you want priority go sub kekw

subtle tundra
nocturne current
#

Muti exectues faster the single target one tho.

#

Even if Fok's generating more combo points.

subtle tundra
#

fok also does damage. fok spreads poisons to all targets

nocturne current
#

Yeah but that's what I was saying. I rather sacrifice that and de-escalate the threat. Not all situations sure, but I do it quite reguarly.

subtle tundra
#

yea couldnt do that myself

nocturne current
#

And yes, I'm losing Overall, but, choice.

static glacier
#

ngl I'd rather kidney or blind or gouge w/e its scary cast / ability is rather than mut

#

since if the whole argument about griefing your overall to kill a mob faster is that it's a threat cc effectively counts as removing the threat

meager granite
teal bloom
#

Fok becomes better than mut in 3 target now? Wasn't it 4 in shadowlands

limber lion
#

but there is no threat

subtle tundra
#

and by going from 3t->2t faster means the other people in the dungeon change what they do, probably swapping from aoe to ST meaning losing even more time.
keeping it at 3 targets is way way better

subtle kiln
#

force a square peg in a round hole or play the spec designed to do the desired behavior

limber lion
#

You're literally constantly and only talking about prio damage and "de-escalating threat"

#

but there's no threat in 3 trash mobs that don't do anything

#

Your tank can literally tank them without pressing a single button

#

Yeah and like Varas said, Affli warlock for one loses a shit ton if the third target dies because they generate much fewer soul shards with just 2 agonies compared to 3.

#

and many many other specs have similar features where more targets means more overall or more prio dps.

static glacier
#

imagine denying the afflock the third seed target

subtle kiln
#

we hate locks. duh

static glacier
limber lion
#

That's a good reason to kill one target asap

#

but "de-escalating threat" against 3 swamp crabs is not

thorn crater
static glacier
#

normally the whole trying to focus a mob down in a 3 pack is if there's one mob with a ton more hp, we just use our st CDs on it

limber lion
#

And that comes down to prio again

thorn crater
limber lion
#

one target is more valuable than the other 2 targets

#

but when there's 3 targets of similar (low) value, you just aoe them all down at the same time.

static glacier
#

cev explained it multiple times clearly. Idk why you're coping yourself into focusing meaningless trash with mut in aoe

limber lion
#

@subtle tundra

#

come

#

look

subtle tundra
#

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ¦Æ studying, cant see

#

better to abstain

nocturne current
#

Nah, but I said Varas was right since start. It's just a choice I do more often than the standard

#

I don't have good experiences with mobs running around after phat pulls.

static glacier
#

you're free to play how you want. as long as you understand it's not generally optimal

subtle kiln
#

nearly a hour to go full circle. never change or share the drugs.

nocturne current
#

It's not a circle.. Optimal is dynamic.

#

There isn't a 1 fit's all solution for everything. What's optimal in a pack isn't necessarily true for the next one.

subtle kiln
#

3 useless trash mobs will always be 3 useless trash mobs. nothing dynamic about that.

nocturne current
#

Yes, but since I'm not talking about 3 sewer rats.

subtle kiln
#

cucking your warlock will always cuck your warlock

#

nothing dynamic about that

nocturne current
subtle kiln
#

#

healer oom is a tank issue

#

nocturne current
#

If you don't want to take it in account, your choice.

subtle kiln
#

and optimizing for pugs ain’t gonna happen chief.

#

welcome to DKs looking for mdi pulls

#

optimal within the group setup is what’s best for the entire group. you state your case and get overruled by the warlock.

#

this ain’t sub rogues looking to have 5+ targets trying to melt a priority.

nocturne current
#

Optimal is too variable to make a generalization.

Fair. I also say paper DPS theory is also half baked mental gymnastics because it isn't the gameplay reality.

pug reality. no tank is going to wait for you to restealth. fucking over your lock is generally bad. if you are only pugging, outlaw is likely a better spec to play as it’s setup is the same no matter what.

Referring to what?

Im just checking it out

trim dirge
#

im trying out devlins its pretty good

steel ridge
#

sin pandemic timers are wrong iirc, they glow too soon

#

and for outlaw the opportunity icon glows when you have GSW buff without having opportunity up

#

which may lead you to believe you have to use pistol shot, while you dont.

earnest imp
#

ye this devlins looks very good

meager granite
#

usually taking a base of WA pack like afenar's, then making tweeks and changes to my likings

im having trouble customizing luxthos

#

it odesnt let me resize them

and if i try to move the core ones out of horizontal into vertical i need to do it via the little arrows and they still end up all over africa instead of one beneath the other

was wondering if there are some customizations that are locked

It's good to have a pack that tracks everything, then you delete what you don't judge needed

use what you enjoy most

Also the disposition of buffs is not good imo

But that's easy to change

or cannibalize it and use your own

This "vanished" style of utility not used

Doesn't seem good imo

prisma cypress

next edge

End of that is take a pack and customise it

I also thing that packs made by rogue players are better than generic ones by default

i used the base of Afenar, and remove/added things i used you years on a previous WA pack (Ezo's i think) cuz i liked it better

That looks awful to me but it's ur opinion I guess

meager granite
#

WA are based on tastes, and what works best for you, not rly about opinion tbh. it was just to illustrate to whoever was asking that you can deconstruct a WA pack and do w/e you like with it to fit what you want/need

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

red tinsel
#

Oh, what's the reason for it?

#

I was thinking with Thistle our energy gen, and by consequence Combo gen would be overflowing a bit

white lance
#

anyone got the math formula for rupture pandemic?

vestal wren
#

pandemic is just 30% of the duration of the dot/buff

#

rupture

#

if you want to use it for a weakaura it might be better to use the 4 or 5 cp duration value

#

if you want to add a pandemic indicator

subtle tundra
#

Otherwise ds

vestal wren
#

it would be:
6 sec for 4 cp
7.2 for 5 cp

white lance
#

allright will look into it. i keep coming back to this topic every time i make wa šŸ˜„

vestal wren
#

pandemic is for most specs in the game

#

so it is more a general concept than a specific thing

white lance
#

aye but not all use cp to change duration

vestal wren
#

haha true

white lance
#

i keep thinking its 30% of the old to the new, but its up to 30% of the new FROM the old

#

math was never my strong side

#

ive played rogue since vanilla and always keep forgetting

solid mica
#

Havent played sin in keys for awhile, is tricks still as effective as the other 2 specs or do u need to throe ur bleeds uo before you hit it

#

Like maybe ic garrote rup tricks fok?

limber lion
#

very sick indeed.

#

But yeh pandemic is just 30% of the new instance.

white lance
#

aye

limber lion
#

so you can do a 2cp rupture followed by a 7cp rupture to get a full pandemic on the 7cp rupture.

torn atlas
#

Ahhh, I've been thinking of it backwards for all this time

white lance
#

oh right, its not limited by the current total duration

torn atlas
#

Like you could only transfer 30% of the existing bleed into the new one.

white lance
#

it looks for if up to 30% of the one you are going to apply is currently active, then it takes those (up to) 30% and adds to the new one. so its basically 1.3 x the new

limber lion
#

Right the duration on the existing rupture or the pandemic effect of it is not dependent on the combo points used for it.

#

Exactly

#

As long as you have 30% of the new bleed existing on the target already, it'll apply the full 1.3 time bleed.

white lance
#

time to work on conditions since im no programmer

#

would love to be able to write code but cant

Yeah I have the same number. Yeah I guess a bit of haste would fix it, but I kinda neglected ST in keys a bit.

I usually pick Haste bounty for ones I know I'll probably starve, Workshop/Upper and such. So maybe that's your energy hunger.
