Only thing I dislike about Outlaw is that Mastery is useless so it needs a whole set of gear different from assa

dense herald
#

Mastery isn’t useless on law

echo geyser
#

its not as bad now

mild canyon
#

It's not useless at all tbbf

echo geyser
#

haste can be outlaws worst stat depending on build

dense herald
#

I’ve gemmed crit mast just so I can flex between the two

red tinsel
echo geyser
#

i think we got talent trees

#

not sure what else

dense herald
#

I thought they fixed a mastery bug

#

With outlaw

echo geyser
#

probably that too

mild canyon
#

the only reason why I wouldn't play assa in M+ right now as opposed to outlaw is that on the current average keys where everything dies within seconds everything is dead before you finish pressing your buttons

shut owl
#

KB/IC sin feels very nice for being a walking silence-sigil. I don't see most things dead in a single garrote window unless you're like... below an 8 or so?

#

definitely a magnitude of order more work than sub, but very handy to have

mild canyon
#

I've been mostly playing with a DH and WW monk and their damage is so much more instant than assa

#

I mean on bosses I absolutely destroy them

#

tbf I've been playing with some scuffed build regardless

#

no KB/IC

shut owl
#

DtB is fine too, just different. I can't recommend IC enough for like... vaults/nokhud/academy if only to achieve clean pulls

mild canyon
#

I'm not too fussed about IC I think it's a satisfying button to press I just hate KB

shut owl
#

kb big numbers though

mild canyon
#

aye but if I want a short cooldown big numbers playstyle I would play sub

#

it's all personal preference in the end I guess

shut owl
#

play arcane mage instead

mild canyon
balmy condor
#

short cooldown big number -> 60% uptime shadow dance sub

shut owl
#

my buddy broke the second boss of CoS on a 9. never seen a boss die in 19 seconds from 90% one person

#

I didn't even line up my DM cuz the prev pull was scuffed and I had to burn it there XD

mild canyon
#

as arcane you mean?

shut owl
#

yes

mild canyon
#

aye they pump like >200k dps for what feels like 2 minutes lmao

shut owl
#

18M damage. I still don't understand wtf he was doing.

mild canyon
#

we shouldn't try to understand

#

meleebrains can't comprehend

#

anyways it's fucking 4:46 here and my alarm is going in about 4 hours, have a good one ya'll ❤️

shut owl
#

I mean... dunked on him for boss 1 and 3 😛

#

driving myself insane atm trying to figure out what I'm doing so poorly on terros lol

distant mesa
balmy condor
#

3 min trinket lines up with exsang

distant mesa
#

when would you proc it

#

before the deathmark?

balmy condor
#

before exsang

distant mesa
#

aight

#

thank you

balmy condor
#

np

shut owl
#

can someone help me read/figure out a log comparison real quick?
I'm trying to figure out why my envenoms are missing a lot of damage somewhere

distant mesa
#

check the stat difference

#

or buffs

shut owl
#

I'm more looking at a like... 2:1 difference... which is probably more than stats? but I could be wrong.
It's also a fluctuating thing that I can't figure out

#

because my lows are the same as JPC within a margin of gearing/buffs... but his highs are twice that of mine, and more frequent burst windows... and I feel like I must be missing something again for that to be the case?

strange python
#

Hey

#

i have a question

#

i never played assa on my life , i start the poutch 2 min ago

#

i can mainly save 40k dps

#

on poutch

#

with 396 ilvl

#

is it great or pussy ?

#

does anyone know if you can cloak off the debuff fron cct trink?

true rapids
#

What should I spend my sparks/primal infusions on lariat then weapon? I swap between ass and outlaw

burnt juniper
#

i had a few good pulls on heroic diurna and suddenly for the rest of the pulls i'm energy starved and can't figure out why

#

i don't normally play sin

#

very confused

distant latch
#

and m+ of course

glad osprey
#

vers being so weak as sin, switching between outlaw and sin isnt ideal unless your enchanting everything as crit I assume

#

want to switch between both myself

distant latch
#

crit is still great for outlaw

glad osprey
#

yep true, so no vers chants for free switching between both

#

hard to choose what is BiS when doing so

true rapids
#

ya lariat is a no brainer

#

just wondering what to spend 2nd spark on.

oblique jackal
#

I hope they revert the sin changes

#

Just doesn’t make sense 🥲

distant latch
true rapids
#

thats what im thinking, I could sim but thats alotta sims haha

steel wind
#

I went 1H sword and dagger for my sparks, so I can use em for both sin and outlaw (got another dagger from raid)

true rapids
proper vortex
#

the fk, sub is doing more dmg than sin and outlaw now

kindred oriole
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
glad osprey
proper vortex
#

Im kinda sad, i want sin to be BiS ST

strange python
#

Can some1 help me ?

glad osprey
#

I just want outlaw to be nerfed/dumped, I honestly just hate the playstyle

strange python
#

i mean i did some raidbot to know what spec pump more on ST OR NOT

#

My sub deal more dmg than my assa

#

wtf ?

#

isntt assa best for ST ?

glad osprey
#

yeah generally looking at the logs, sin is way up there

strange python
#

I dont understand why i only sim 48k on ST ASSA

#

when i do 50k as sub ?

#

why every top guilde play assa then ?

#

on ST

dense cedar
#

probably execute

strange python
#

?

outer marten
#

Quick question: trying to optimize my cd usage and better understand proper play. Setup for DM is DM>Vanish>Garrote>Garrote, max CP Rupture?
And then I want to max both Garrote and Rupture before DM ends? Or should I leave the buffed garrote to fall off?

outer marten
# strange python ?

Sub is steady dps over a fight. Sin will creep up during execute because of Zoldyck Recipe buffing bleed/poison dmg below 35% by a large amount

strange python
#

i didnt get u @outer marten

outer marten
#

Hmm?

strange python
#

i dont understand

outer marten
#

During boss execute phase, assassin gets buffed by 30% minimum because of that talent. So they have large damage multipliers at the end parts of a fight or on adds. Tuning is fairly close currently between sub and sin, after reset sub may pull ahead slightly

vale shore
#

I think you are going to see Sin start to do more damage as rogues start completing their tier sets. Sin seems to benefit more from it than the other specs according to the spreadsheet

strange python
#

what u mean

#

by sin ?

#

4p ?

vale shore
#

Assassin abbrev.

#

its better than saying "ass"

strange python
#

ho

#

so whats the pb

#

Sin better ST than sub or not then ?

hybrid meadow
#

I prefer the "ass" shortening myself 🤣

vale shore
#

then our classes specs becomes "Sub, Out, Ass"

quartz juniper
#

Ass-sub, out

vale shore
#

which is almost a complete sentence

outer marten
#

Lmao

quartz juniper
#

Then you exit like soka

strange python
#

what the buff 30% u tell me

#

on assasin

vale shore
#

its zoldyk

strange python
#

itsnt get simed on the sim ?

vale shore
#

its just before kingsbane on the spec tree

strange python
#

zoldyk ? can u link something or a pic ? im french , and got french game

#

im so sorry

vale shore
#

thats okay

#

its just below Kingsbane, the capstone talent on the left side of the spec tree

outer marten
#

So, does DM duplicate your dots as it’s applied, or duplicate dots applied after it’s been used?

strange python
vale shore
#

both

strange python
#

i simmed with that

outer marten
#

It’s the 3 point node above Kingsbane

vale shore
#

ideally you should have your empowered garrote and echoing repremanded rupture on the target before you death mark though

strange python
earnest remnant
# strange python

sims are not an exact science with numbers, bosses are very different and some of them might have a very long Execute phase where Assa can get alot of value and be stronger than lets say sub on ST, that doesent have said benefit

outer marten
#

Ok, so it duplicates the dots already applied then

trim zinc
#

and the new ones 2

vale shore
#

yes, but it will also duplicate subsequently applied dots

strange python
#

Thank you stealthi

#

So typically , if i sim the same DMG as sub and assa

vale shore
#

in the case of amplifying poison, you will have two separate stacks for your envenoms to draw from

strange python
#

with a boss who gonna die fast after 30% bcs Bloodlust or idk

#

better to sub

#

if boss alive longer after 30% , assa

#

better

vale shore
#

you will be doing more damage during that bloodlust though

trim zinc
#

and prob isnt even true

burnt juniper
#

really dumb question- do you have much worse energy gains if you're in front of your target rather than behind

strange python
#

The pb is : Im a big main SUB / OUTLAW , i have never tuched assasin spec on my life

vale shore
#

if you are in front, a lot of your attacks will be parried

strange python
#

im on a good guild , i want the best for every boss

outer marten
#

Ooooh, so it works both ways.
What’s the rule for reapplying as it’s falling off? Should I try to max them before it falls off, and then let them fall off before reapplying? Or do they just add the damage into new duration after refresh?

strange python
#

if i have to switch i do it

#

so should i learn assa , or i can just sub and fck off

#

bcs assa get nerfed soon

vale shore
#

you should learn whichever you perform better as

outer marten

Energy comes from bleed ticks, haste and base regen as sin

trim zinc
burnt juniper
#

haha yes sin question

vale shore
#

we have been all over the place in the conversation

burnt juniper
#

i just had a string of bad pulls with terrible energy regen and was wondering wtf was going on

vale shore
#

okay so it does not affect energy regen, but there are many good reasons not to stand in front of bosses

burnt juniper
#

trying sin for the first time in raid today

#

was too focused on my buttons and probably getting giga parried

vale shore
#

sin can stall, if you dont have your garrote and rupture up

#

and your poisons arent applied

burnt juniper
#

yeah that was the problem too, not having enough energy to reapply bleeds quickly

#

it was so bad

trim zinc
#

its super hard to not have em on your main target tho

burnt juniper
#

but i just had a few pulls where i made sure i was 100% behind boss and it was solved

vale shore
#

use echoing repremend to get a 7 cp rupture for only 2 cp, and use your thistle tea charges judiciously

strange python
#

do we have

#

to use vanish for garott

burnt juniper
#

yeah saving tea for critical moments is a good idea

strange python
#

to take the 50% garot buff

#

on cd ?

vale shore
#

yes, of course

trim zinc
#

yes on cd on dtb builds

vale shore
#

it turns vanish into one of your most important dps cooldowns

trim zinc
burnt juniper
strange python
#

Katarie ?

vale shore
#

pandemic means you can refresh them with 30% of their timer still up

strange python
#

thats my gear

#

5% haste

trim zinc
strange python
#

maybe for that i dont sim much

#

ass sin ?

trim zinc
#

no

#

no

#

no

strange python
#

?

trim zinc
#

theres not a stat breakpoint

#

theres not a cap

#

no magic number

#

HMMMM

#

how u sim is too low

strange python
#

So i still dont understand why every1 say ASSA IS BEST ST EVER and not sub

#

when i sim more with sub

trim zinc
#

cuz im like 392 and i sim 61k+

vale shore
#

haste used to be a great stat for sin, its not our best stat in dragonflight

strange python
#

i quick sim

#

i mean

vale shore
#

dont let an impending nerf turn you off sin, the other specs are getting the same 3% nerf

trim zinc
#

link your sim pls

strange python
#

yeah

#

gimme a sec @trim zinc

trim zinc
#

kk

vale shore
#

and they have not said which combo point is going away from echoing repremend

trim zinc
#

and NEVER use stats weights from raidbots ❤️

vale shore
#

so It can be either 2 or 4?

trim zinc
gusty mirage
strange python
#

no raid buff for sub too

trim zinc
#

but it does change a lot of things

vale shore
#

assassin gets a lot more benefit from raid buffs

strange python
#

okkkkkkk

#

Wait

vale shore
#

dots tick faster during lust for example

#

which affects your energy

trim zinc
#

like, look how much of your damage is magic, dont u think that DH debuff will help alot?

#

and a lot of other things

strange python
#

Okkkkkk

#

i understand now

#

im gonna activate all and sim again

#

saula u sim 64k

#

bcs u have 4p

#

too x)

trim zinc
#

i dont

strange python
#

ho

trim zinc
#

only 2pc

strange python
#

is that bis for assa ?

gusty mirage
#

No

vale shore
#

I dont know what that is...

strange python
#

better ig

#

still sime low for my ilvl ig

gusty mirage
trim zinc
#

way better isnt it

strange python
#

wait sub simming is coming

gusty mirage
#

Raid lead goes “it’s yours cuz no one else wants it”

#

Lmao

trim zinc
#

LMAO

gusty mirage
#

I was like HUHHH

vale shore
#

I wish this game had cursed items!

trim zinc
strange python
#

Thats my sub

#

sim

#

still better than assa

#

so i should play sub ? bcs ik the spec ?

celest helm
#

you should play whatever you like brother

#

it doesnt matter

strange python
#

the only 1 way i should go assa its bcs its better like 10% 15% better than sub

trim zinc
#

u should pic what u like more and what waht u play better always

strange python
#

even 5%

vale shore
#

if you play the better spec badly, you are going to do less damage

gusty mirage
celest helm
#

yeah assass is gonna be better on charts normally in the end because of zoldyck but that means nothing if you know sub and like it then play it and its good

strange python
#

play better its not the thing , im gonna warcraftlog anyway

#

i want the best

trim zinc
#

its not like u need to play a certain spec

gusty mirage
#

I also get PI for some reason despite never asking for it

vale shore
#

play the game, not the meta

gusty mirage
#

This tier has been so weird

trim zinc
#

thats a pug i did today with a friend, my logs r private hate my RL

#

;-;

gusty mirage
#

I know you’re a gamer

#

If that makes it any better

trim zinc
#

i just want pi too

#

hehe

#

❤️

strange python
#

gift of radiance any good?

#

seems to sim well for me

trim zinc
# gusty mirage I know you’re a gamer

to be honest
everything i know about the games is cuz this discord
u whispyr ceverion seli etc
i was like nothing before i came here, so im glad to "hold hands on leaderbords"

#

i do rly appreciate

401 iilvl

#

kekw

#

wasn't on dropoptimizer but tank looted it

burnt juniper
#

yeah i still can't figure out why my energy regen is dog shit

#

is it because alacrity is falling off..?

#

*sometimes dogshit

trim zinc
#

sin is a slower spec

burnt juniper
#

kk super weird then

#

i think ebcause i'm sub/outlaw main

#

too used to button mashing?

vale shore
#

sin is a game of chess, intricate and precise

trim zinc
#

sometimes we are like waiting and chilling cuz we are chad

vale shore
#

you plant your dots and watch them grow, watering them with envenoms to keep slice and dice up

quartz juniper
#

Fam I got seal of Diurna's Chosen in a heroic pug, do I change enchants or anything to try and get the proc?

marsh lodge
#

the helm from lw

quartz juniper
#

That the only thing? I know the one you mean

marsh lodge
#

afiak yeah

quartz juniper
#

ty

lofty bluff
#

am I doing something wrong?

#

I am clipping alot of envenoms

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Thats normal

#

Envenom is like 80+% uptime in a lot of fights

lofty bluff
#

in the opener though I get like

#

50% overlap of alot of envenoms

balmy condor
#

Okay

#

And?

#

Youre spamming envenom during Deathmark

#

Would be weird if you didnt overlap a bunch

jaunty lotus
#

Yeah you should just auto until it falls off so you can cast the next

celest helm
#

how much are you all paying for lariat

young flicker
#

Hey guys, anyone around to take a quick peek at my logs on a fight and see what I’m doing wrong? I feel like I understand the rotation and priorities, but it seems like I’m doing something wrong consistently based on my numbers

celest helm
#

def something wrong im 10ilvl under you doing the same dps

#

you are missing out on KB off the bat thats rough dps loss for execute

young flicker
#

KB?

celest helm
#

yes

#

kingsbane is def better on ST

balmy condor
#

Idk about “def better”

young flicker
#

Im running DTB and assuming the main thing is my trinkets are dog water for that build

#

And son in general

balmy condor
#

Dtb is fine

celest helm
#

i just am a sucker for Zol

young flicker
#

Sin*

celest helm
#

makes the numbers so pretty

#

your trinkets are dog water in general

young flicker
#

Rotation wise, is there anything major that you see? I’ve been a sub main for awhile, but trying to get better with sin

celest helm
#

whats your opener

#

just outa curiosity

young flicker
#

I know I miss the 1st thistle tea w/shiv sometimes but that’s about all I know I could improve on

celest helm
#

Whispyr is def better at log reading than me by miles im sure others are too but ill look over it and see if anything sticks out

young flicker
#

Garrote > sbs > SnD > mutilate to 5+ > death mark > shiv & thistle tea > ER > envenom

celest helm
#

ouch

young flicker
#

Vanish garrote at 5.4 sec and shiv on cd after that

celest helm
#

or is that how DTB plays?

young flicker
#

Sorry, between mut and death mark is rupture

celest helm
#

oh wow thats so different i just realized

#

so crazy how much that changes from the KB opener

#

well shit i clearly know dick about DTB LOL ill let someone step in, iv ran kingsbane entirely since the beginning

young flicker
#

From there I just keep the dots up, pair shiv and ER if I can (but don’t force it) and pair the vanish garrote with deathmark. Keep all bleeds up etc

dense herald
#

Is shiv into ER in opener just objectively better than ER shiv? I woulda thought after the shiv global you’d wanna start pumping envenoms asap

#

(I know it doesn’t matter 😂) just wanna know

thorn crater
#

how's liquid doing

#

when did they start razga

young flicker
#

I guess you want to shiv first so that you land on an animacharge cp

#

Shiv could push you over that

dense herald
#

You end up at the same

young flicker
#

Then idk lol

dense herald
#

As after you hit DM you’re on 0 cb

#

And shiv and ER both generate

#

It’s probs dps neutral anyways

balmy condor
#

Might be better to er then shiv if you dont land on an animacharge post nerf

#

But its kinda whatever

dense herald
#

Yeah fair

balmy condor
thorn crater
#

that kamehameha stronk

slim hamlet
#

they already have 36 pulls

#

Double sin rogue for now

#

praise be

frail niche
#

Yo, guys. In big m+ pulls (6+ targets) is it worth spreading garrote/rupture or do you just spam CT away? This is without IC

gusty mirage
#

you need to spread bleeds for energy

#

otherwise you won't be spamming much

trim zinc
#

Spred garrote and rupt till u feel that u don't need more energy

prisma cypress
#

are there any known bugs with leech from gear not working?

idle coyote
#

@balmy condor have you tried KB in vault at all with the kill windows on some adds? Or not worth

balmy condor
#

Not worth chasing the phantom of a whiff of a percent maybe if the timings are good

prisma cypress
#

i was looking at my logs from tonight and noticed i was getting almost exactly 5% leech (including overheal) while i should be getting almost 7% due to the leech enchants on my gear

#

what's up with that

#

is there stuff that doesn't trigger leech?

#

the fact that it was like 5% on the dot suggested to me that there's a bug, but i hadn't heard anything about it

slim hamlet
#

Sounds weird

#

Does leech work when hitting a shield?

prisma cypress
#

idk

#

this was on heroic terros

slim hamlet
#

Yeah that's not it even if thats a thing then

gusty mirage
#

if your damage gets absorbed you get fucked on leech

#

it's kinda cringe

slim hamlet
#

I didnt even know that

#

Was the most random guess

#

Epic

flint ridge
#

is 70k lariat his mats good deal?

gusty mirage
#

his mats? yea

#

that diamond goes for like 30-40k depending on region

slim hamlet
#

70k own mats is insane deal on eu

gusty mirage
#

for a r3 qual gem that is

#

I paid 50k and I had to provide my own mats

slim hamlet
#

everyone goes for 250k no mats for 405 on eu

dense cedar
#

eu moment

slim hamlet
#

idek how he made gold

#

the diamond alone is 41k

gusty mirage
#

yeah that's an insane deal

dense cedar
#

mgiht've been own diamond

gusty mirage
#

prolly prospected a ton of them himself

#

or made them

dense cedar
#

My alt just like

#

randomly had one

gusty mirage
#

I can't remember how I got mine on my alt

#

lol

#

Been farming recipe since reset on at least 2 chars a day

I'm convinced it doesn't exist, and we're all just imagining it

can anyone else check out their own logs and see if they had the same issue with leech

#

i'm curious about this now

#

the hits just keep coming...bLIZZ.....

slim hamlet
#

Just looked at my terros

#

Leeched for only ~4%

prisma cypress
#

im guessing thats not including overheal?

slim hamlet
#

no idea how to check with

#

ah i see

#

still only 4.2%

#

Good morning 🙂 quick question: how does assa feel in m+ right now? thought about learning it for next week since my group lacks ST...

royal lantern
#

best m+ version we had yet

#

atleast imo

#

(the only important opinion)

runic hinge
#

I think it’s the most fun. The higher you go you get IC for every pack and it feels like I blast.

storm onyx
#

Strong as mid-late Legion from the start of expansion, And we can adjust to grp comp

noble light
#

ok, how much dps do I lose compared to outlaw / sub? are there sims?

balmy condor
#

they're all about the same

#

subs like a couple % stronger in single target

slim hamlet
#

Wait does sub sim higher than sin now?

balmy condor
#

ye

runic hinge
slim hamlet
#

But theyre also higher in aoe?

storm onyx
#

RC change hurt us , yea

spark sinew
#

best talents for riad?

balmy condor

@subtle tundra btw, why is everyone always blowing all aoe shit on the first add Spawns in academy tree boss, when they need like 20years to actually go active

dense cedar

so they never go active i assume

royal lantern

would it not be better to just cleave those, and go full aoe burst for the 2nd spawn

you bl 2nd

you want to put cds on cd

Yep

At least with spec with aoe cds

@balmy condor should I go crit/vers or crit/mas on my OH dagger Shortblade if I'm playing all 3 specs?

What is "pandemic" i see this word used but i dont see an ability or talent

balmy condor
#

!pd

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
#

it's just a game mechanic

snow kindle
#

oh ok ty i thought it was an actual ability

royal lantern

#

am I missing something or does shadowmelding mid encounter not proc improved garrote? oversight or intended?

Is there anyone online right now that would be willing to look through a log to see if I’m making any obvious rotational errors?

booooooo

can ambush to reapply fw but not garrote smh

you can meld+stealth on trash packs, but in boss fights nope, would be to strong

We don't know how tight the enrage will be on mythic though

Not execute

Razzy isn't timer based

I held deathmark through first intermission and went cds on 1st and 3rd shields

just because i dont agree with 4-5 of them, doesnt mean he is bad/doesnt know what he is doing lol

not 380

Oh well I've still been playing outlaw in m+

It's 20% bleed dmg, which is like 40-50% of our dmg

pseudo spruce
kindred rapids
#

We don't do splits but a lot of my raid is 400 ilvl already

pseudo spruce
#

rogue in bfa was aids because they nerfed and changed every azerite ability and you had to play 3 different specs depending on the day of nerfs/changes

for raid, 2 and 4set are more or less equal, for m+, 2set does almost nothing and 4set is great

There's a lot kicks you need to get in packs with large area denial

Chain lightning from the lizard thing one shot me as well

Don't think that one's stoppable

You play that pack with cds

You need cds for that and one more pack in the area

You can pull around your CDs with dragonflying around

Hello, what Assa build is easier to master for good M+ progression? The DTB or the KB+IC?

I've also seen a KB wit Poison Bomb build can that be used in M+?

dusky knoll

You re not playing assa on m+

#

Sub or outlaw

trim zinc
ornate topaz
#

Assa worse for M+?

trim zinc
#

U can play sin in m+

I can imagine when doing keys like +10 and more it will be a good option since the dots can ramp up

trim zinc

I'm playing ic kb like 99%of the time

Assa is not BAD in M+, damage is just not as high as Outlaw/Sub, but it's much higher than a lot of other specs.

Especially this week we will be having Tyrannical, people may want to grab Assa. Rogues are not alone on M+ and you don't need to have all 3 dps be AoE master, you can spread out utility and damage profile

#

That said, Blizz should def. buff our AoE because we deserve it

So I'm holding IC for 5 minutes

This might just be skill issue

"At the end of the opener" we use Envenom, Kingsbane and then Shiv..:

Why not Envenom... Shiv... Kingsbane...? >> Shiv increases the damage of poisions... (+20% damage on nature damage) >> why are we "wasting" these 20% damage at the KB application?

Is it still the ST opener for the m+ build?

The one in the faq with CT in it

outer cairn
#

yeah. you could probably just garrote twice on the boss since you won't get the extra CP from SBS unless you've taken it to give you some snd time and then just follow the normal ST open

blissful crown
#

so you pretty much just go garrote garrote and then on with that?

#

Since no bone spike

outer cairn
#

yeah you could do that. the double garrote just extends the length of your empowered garrote on the boss

blissful crown
#

ty 😄

how viable is ass for m+? any strong opinions?

Opinions are always strong

#

What key are you going for

any key realy, just wanted to know if its considered terrible

thorn crater
#

Ofc not

outer cairn
#

its not

thorn crater
#

Pretty strong in fact

#

Just needs more than just press flurry and go brrrr

dire rapids
#

Yeah i like that

outer cairn
#

as you start to get up into higher keys, IC starts to work out more as far as timing because shit ain't just falling over.

thorn crater
#

I can’t press buttons fast enough on outlaw so I deal the same dmg as I deal on sin in m+

#

So I stick with what I know

#

Comfort matters

dire rapids
#

for sure

exotic robin
#

Btw on packs u stealth, IC, garrote, ER into rupture?

thorn crater
#

Outlol generates too much

outer cairn
#

but with a good size pack, you can rip IC and throw out 8 juicy garrotes and ruptures then CT spam and break 100k or more on packs

thorn crater
#

Yep

#

But then again outlaw can bte with a good roll

#

Flurry er vanish dispatch

#

And deal that 100k

outer cairn
thorn crater
#

:p

exotic robin
dire rapids
#

sounds good guys, thx 🙂

exotic robin
#

And after that dm prio target?

thorn crater
#

You should prolly get the CT up before the er rup

outer cairn
#

typically what i do if SnD is running

thorn crater
#

Tbh it also varies

outer cairn
#

i just garrote again

#

6 cp CT

#

then er rupture

thorn crater
#

For me I prefer the empowered CT over the empowered rup

#

Since one deals more dmg the other just lasts longer

#

If I get both great

outer cairn
junior rampart
#

Is CT spamming worth on more than 7-8 targets?

thorn crater
#

It’s worth on 3:p

#

Some people do it on 2

junior rampart
#

I will try it. Thank you

thorn crater
#

You will see a a big difference if you haven’t been using it

#

Again, this is KB IC

outer cairn
#

its def nice to surprise people when you burst 100k on a pack. most don't expect that from sin

junior rampart
#

I'm not spamming currently. Just IC>Garrote>rupture and CT once then usually envenom.

thorn crater
#

CT big dmg is the instant

#

Not the bleed

Let me try that today. 😋

Just read the talent you will understand :p
