Ye

#

You can vanish every jump

balmy condor
#

I mean you can't on sin

stable apex
#

Yeye

#

Was just thinking of an example couldn't find a better one I guess

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

for sin it's a super niche use case

#

and usually you just use it rotationally for damage

#

roughly lines up with deathmark

#

big chillin

stable apex
#

Ye mostly i just dm and idk, 5 secs later I can chip the big garrote

balmy condor
#

yep

stable apex
#

K thanks

#

One more thing

balmy condor
#

no, you had your question go back to outlaw now

#

what's the question KEKL

stable apex
#

Na Sin and law are banging. Sub is the only shit spec

#

Hate that cringe edge lord ninja cosplay

#

Love every season where it's in the gutter

#

K I stop

balmy condor
#

hate ninja cosplay

cosplays a cringe pirate instead

#

makes sense makes sense

stable apex
#

I have dog trinkets, but puzzle seems aight for sin as starter. Do I just press 4 secs before pull and then when it's up? Because it has dog timing with all other cds

balmy condor
#

press it before deathmark

Quick question, for jade M+ do we go with the M+ spec or raid spec? Doesn't seem like much to AOE in there

stable apex
balmy condor
#

yeh

#

pretty much

I see, I haven't ran any keys this week and was wondering what others were doing

rocky ruin
#

in general from warcraft logs, is ilvl parse or normal parses a better determiner of skill

balmy condor
#

neither are great for different reasons

#

but usually overall parses are going to be more accurate

strange python
#

Parses this early are a complete mess, especially on mythic

rocky ruin
#

alright

weak horizon
#

It feels like using it on cd is pretty easy though. So for me the next optimization seems like pool energy, build CP, and try to not have to reapply dots during shiv so I can slam envenoms envenoms during shiv. How much does that matter in the grand scheme of things?

balmy condor
#

the only condition the sim cares for is you don't use shiv if rupture isn't on the target

#

which it always is

#

the rest of it is just slam and go

weak horizon
#

Interesting, it seems like intuitively it would be a DPS gain to slam 3 envenoms in each shiv. Why isn't that the case? Is it because of the wasted overlap on the envenom buff from 3 quick casts?

#

And I guess the resource expenditure during shiv meaning you have less envenoms outside of shiv windows so less uptime on envenom outside shiv meaning the 3 envenom shiv is net neutral compared to just slam shiv on cd?

tawdry relic
#

So out of curiosity, why is the Bronzed Grip Wrappings considered the embellishment we want to use?

weak horizon
#

!whispyr

balmy condor
# weak horizon Interesting, it seems like intuitively it would be a DPS gain to slam 3 envenoms...

for 1, it's not always possible because of RNG unless you pool CP into shiv, which leads to the second point, trying to line things up makes for janky stuff, you pool 5cp for a shiv, but oh wait, now that you pooled cp, your rupture is going to drop 2 seconds after shiv is done, so you gotta refresh that during shiv, so GG you just lost your coveted precious third envenom. The last thing is you already hit envenom during shiv regardless of how you play just as a byproduct of it being your filler finishing ability

#

so you could 500iq and get another envenom in, possibly wasted time or messing up the timings otherwise

#

or you could just slam it on cooldown and do your rotation normally and get 95% of the benefit anyway because poisons do damage too

#

the sim just simply does not care

#

even in legion it didn't care

#

it's never cared

#

there's just simply not enough value in trying to play around shiv like that in order for it to provide a tangible gain

balmy condor
weak horizon
#

Thanks for the response regarding shiv envenoms btw

tawdry relic
#

We'd prefer the raw output of the dmg rather than something like the Silken Lining's Mast?

#

Didn't fuck it up this time. @tawdry relic there's a bit there where whispyr simmed the embellishments and bgw comes out on top

balmy condor
#

your argument at the end of the day is some damage > some other damage

balmy condor
#

cause it's such a fucking bait

#

even at 100% uptime it's meh

#

but like

#

be above 90% health

#

for 100% of a fight

#

good luck

#

you might get 60% or 70% uptime on it at best

last aurora
#

On the JC necks, is the lariat one a lot better or they about the same?

gusty mirage
#

lariat better cuz of the proc

last aurora
#

ugh i figured

#

so $$

balmy condor
#

you'll need to get one anyway

#

it's one of your BiS embellishments

gusty mirage
#

hi stealthi

earnest remnant
#

fck got caught before i even typed

gusty mirage
#

my stealthi senses started tingling

earnest remnant
#

think i need a new name. not that stealthy anymore

gusty mirage
#

but ye

#

we're kinda testing them out a bit

#

and figuring out a way to roll them out to the masses in a way that's not super annoying

earnest remnant
#

yeh push asked me what i thought sub could have, and i just said CB and Dance i guess

gusty mirage
#

ye that seemed to be the consensus when I asked him about it earlier this week

#

which reminds me

#

I should grab those icons

#

@earnest remnant

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

we coulda used aintnoway for cb

earnest remnant
#

cold as ice

#

like my heart

outer cairn
#

cos blows. damn ring never drops

true thorn
#

just want to confirm is it Bronze grip wrappings or fang adornments?

gusty mirage
#

personal choice, bronze slightly more damage and a little more rng because some abilities proc heals

brave pagoda
#

does the rotation change with echoing reprimand on ?

steel geyser
#

You finish early sometimes

#

Also if you play exsang it's cool to get a big rupture beforehand

brave pagoda
#

ok ty

storm onyx
pseudo stratus
#

this raid tier has soooo much burst aoe add spawns, but not seeing very many people running the aoe builds at all for most of the bosses

balmy condor
#

we're boss killers

#

we sit on boss

#

and that's our life

#

later in the tier you'll probably see aoe builds on some fights just for degenerate parses where they pad the adds

#

but atm the only degenerate thing is pi

storm onyx

Thank you

#

@spice spire When looking at my logs we talked abit on munching CP. What I wonder is: is it better to let a -2 CP Envenom go than do mutilate and almost always munch cp? Not sure how to evaluate this myself

spice spire
#

It is not

#

You never want to play around seal fate

#

It was the other things that you munched iirc

steel sorrel
#

I thought so. Yeah Blindside etc

#

Been working on that!

spice spire
#

Obviously you’re chilling at 4, no DS, you just finish.
But at 3? Nah we send that ambush/mut

steel sorrel
#

Ait, thanks alot for taking your time again ❤

spice spire
#

Glad to help whispyrheart

steel sorrel
#

I have to say, beeing in this community is so awsome! Always someone who can give insight, I appriciate you all very much

subtle tulip
#

Hello, may i ask why i dont do dmg with my assa rogue ?

balmy condor
#

probably cause you're playing like shit or you have awful gear or a mix of both

#

most likely the last

brazen zodiac
#

lol

subtle tulip
#

Well and what i need to do with my gear

subtle tulip
balmy condor
#

do higher m+, higher difficulty raids, get higher ilvl

#

higher ilvl = more damage

balmy condor
#

those should be enough to get you pumping damage

subtle tulip
#

Well and is assa dependet on some stat ?

balmy condor
#

no, that's not a thing on any spec in the game

#

there are stats that are better than others

#

but "dependent" is a little extreme

subtle tulip
#

okey thanks

proud basin
#

how is assassin in low keys?

balmy condor
#

fine

#

but probably nothing impressive

proud basin
#

is the play just to go outlaw for lower keys?

balmy condor
#

probably

#

sub can be good too

#

but outlaw gonna outlaw

#

dumb spec

#

what can you do

balmy condor
#

#

a majority of my jokes miss

brazen zodiac
#

oh no

distant lodge
#

No matter what I do I just can’t understand how to play outlaw. Assassination is just so much more enjoyable.

balmy condor
#

Very good opinion

humble mesa
#

Im dying to switch to assassination as my main/sole spec but I dont feel I can do comparable damage in m+, outside of single target

static glacier
#

You probably can’t, but you can decide if that’s alright

storm onyx
#

Depends on the group comp also, you aren’t there to carry the aoe anyway

#

Also, whats comparable; I am not sure what Sub does in packs

static glacier
#

Sub aoe is actually strong

#

Sub overall is comparable to outlaw in keys

humble mesa
#

sub and outlaw do massive aoe on demand, relatively short cooldowns, bursty. It can compete with faceroll fury warriors etc. I havent given kingsbane /carnage an honest go in upper keys (12+) because I fear ill just ruin someones key lol. I may try a 10 tomorrow

#

Im just bored with sub

static glacier
#

Feels like sin needs 15+ fort to function in aoe

storm onyx
#

I am doing 100k+ burst, on packs with KB/IC depending on the pack/pull; finishing a bit lower if fight lingers

humble mesa
#

my current thinking is something like Nok Offensive would be decent for IC, probably by the time your pack dies, the cooldown is back again. or getting there. I saw a random comment on a youtube video about using envenom to proc poison bomb for added aoe output which I never thought of instinctively. Have to start messing around

storm onyx
#

If you go DTB, you are constantly fishing for PB procs while funneling prio target yea

static glacier
#

How’re you taking PB and IC

storm onyx
#

We dont

static glacier
#

Is the real question

humble mesa
#

The video was a DTB build with crimson tempest

#

and the comment was saying to use poison bomb to assist aoe from crimson tempest

storm onyx
static glacier
#

Got it

humble mesa
#

I actually -prefer- DTB but I feel like KB/IC is the only way to viability. But also I didnt differentiate above because im not that familiar with the talent positioning so I didnt even realize kb/ic would not have it

#

Ive spent a lot more time with outlaw/sub. and trying to wiggle away from sub if possible, but know I already enjoy DTB so ive just been brainstorming how to use sin spec more in general. Getting ready for bed and the game isnt open but its on my mind

humble mesa
storm onyx
#

You can spam CT at +7-8 targets afaik btw, it’s determined aoe compared to PB fishing

static glacier
#

I just play other specs for keys, despite the iron wire utility and all I just don’t think it’s worth it for me to play sin in keys when I’m comfortable with both the other specs. This expac is the best sin has looked in keys since bfa tbh

oak sky
#

sin aoe is legitimately solid

#

but we suck at low targets

#

and our st is trash in the aoe build

static glacier
#

I wouldn’t call it trash, maybe not super strong

humble mesa
static glacier
#

You play sin on all fights in raid except maybe council

#

If you want to that is

#

I know there’s quite a few one tricks who don’t like switching specs, I’d assume the majority do though

humble mesa
#

Working it in bit by bit for sure, ive been doing far more keys than raid, havent cleared all of heroic yet. But yeah I wanted to look at some raider IO rankings/profiles to get inspiration but seems like the site is down at the moment or something

balmy condor
true thorn
#

So is it very difficult to get a Tier 3 Unique Inscribed gem right now?

balmy condor
velvet haven
#

On an average 5-7 ad pack i think I'm personally doing about 80, or on academy plant trash around 175k 😄

balmy condor
#

yeh seems reasonable

feral rivet
#

Ive played a lot of sin in 16-18 keys both weeks so far, but also a lot of sub. I enjoy both and find it fun to get some variety without going on an alt too

eternal vortex
#

what buff do i go in academy if i have plenty of crit?

feral rivet
#

Ive been going vers for survival

neon oxide
#

hmm crit+haste gem simming highest for me atm

#

thats new

storm onyx
#

Haste isnt especially bad, just isnt good as used to

neon oxide
#

Yeah guessing I'm just close to a diminishing returns value

visual slate
#

For lariat do we mix secondary gems or no reason to?

limber lion
visual slate
#

From what I read, lariat can't proc multiple buffs at once anymore, so no reason to mix types of gems. Is that actually true?

limber lion
#

That is true

#

You want to ensure you always get the best buff so you use one type of gem only

visual slate
#

Cool

#

Ty

#

I've been getting 5 CP on garrote after vanish lately and have no idea why

#

What's up with that?

dawn merlin
#

Was it during deathmark

visual slate
#

Maybe?

gloomy stone
#

Is someone playing a more passive DTB/poison bomb build in m+? I can’t handle the buttons and all the micro-management

balmy condor
#

All week yes

#

Haven’t played kb in tyran cause that shit is bootycheeks

lucid knoll
#

How is SBS used in ST? FAQ mentions using it to apply the DoT and to keep it from capping; but, if it's worth casting to avoid reaching the cap, then why are we not slamming all 3 spikes ASAP?. I don't get how it's valuable enough to keep it from overcapping charges but not worth spending the extra charges for anything other than uptime while out of melee range.

balmy condor
#

Raids got a ton of adds

swift dagger
#

Nothing says u cant slam all 3 in a row

balmy condor
#

But yeah

swift dagger
#

in singletarget that is

balmy condor
#

If you wanna slam

#

Go for it

#

Knock yourself out

#

It’s the same amount of damage either way

#

You use the same amount of charges at the end of the day

#

So

#

Doesn’t really matter

swift dagger
#

just make sure u dont overcap on energy slamming those

#

cuz theyre cheap af to cast

lucid knoll
#

Slamma jamma on Terros it is then!. Thanks.

rancid nimbus
#

you only tunning the dtb build in m+ whispyr? I felt in Academy the ic kb build is really nice

balmy condor
#

Yeah don’t care bout it

#

Me boss

#

Aoe is fine

rancid nimbus
#

so you just make sure you fuck up the bosses ? 😄

balmy condor
#

I’d rather do 120k on tree pulls instead of 140k if it means 65k on a boss rather than 50k

neon oxide

mutilate requires 2 daggers

sterile edge
#

It’s slower than outlaw too I’m guessing?

I might switch to assa for m+ because my st dmg is so low as outlaw, and just leave outlaw for raids

Hey guys do u know whats the best flask to do dmg in raid ?

royal lantern
#

vers or elemental

#

vers more consistent

prisma cypress
#

and much cheaper

strange python

isnt the flask with 25% dmg dot

slim hamlet
#

isnt it what?

strange python
#

the 1150 crit

#

flask

#

and u get a dot

slim hamlet
#

Yeah

#

But you ask "isnt the flask"

#

isnt it what

#

best?

strange python
#

best

#

for dps

prisma cypress
#

only if it doesn't kill you

slim hamlet
#

Only if you can stand gettin destealthed right before every single pull

#

And you dont die

#

It isnt in tooltip, but it randomly gives you a dot of 15% i believe of your health on top of the dmg that is on tooltip

prisma cypress
#

like yeah if you're trying to "parse" on a farm kill, you can use it

#

but i wouldn't recommend using anything that damages you during progression

eternal vortex
#

if i play DTB in M+ do i prio envenom over CT for the PB procs?

#

or is there a target number where i switch

#

between the two

We should get mage tower back for the transmog appearances tho

#

for the t6/tomb of sargeras recolour

severe oyster
#

Sometimes I wish Blizzard would stop removing stuff like that and just scale us down to a challenging ilvl in future expansions.

#

So many cool things that can no longer be done.

neon oxide
#

They remove it so it retains its value

#

I do agree though, it is after all just cosmetic

gusty mirage
#

They should just do alternative colors so they can preserve the original’s reward

neon oxide
#

I'd love to get the MoP challenge mode appearances and teh woD weapon transmogs

gusty mirage
#

Like that way those who did it when it was live can still have that feeling of prestige

#

But gives us all more tmog options which is great

neon oxide
#

Iceshear's teal colourway with the new heroic raids et

#

oof that would be beaut

severe oyster
#

Eh if Blizzard cared about the value of things they wouldn't bring back random rare stuff all the time.

#

It's more likely that they can't be bothered to change it to a scaling reward.

gusty mirage
#

I just hate how awful a lot of tmog in this game is to begin with

neon oxide
#

I have all the healer mage tower weapons - I havent played healer in 3 years

#

didnt do any others lmao

gusty mirage
#

I only did sub during legion and I hate the mog

#

Unlucky for me lol

neon oxide
#

I did outlaw

#

unlucky for me

gusty mirage
#

Pls blizzard give us more tmog options, even if they’re recolors SAD

neon oxide
#

I genuinely dont see any harm in allowing us some way to unlock all the challenge mode things and like has already been said, scale us down

#

Look at FFXIV, you can still aquire all the artifact weapons for mog and nobodys bitching about that

gusty mirage
#

Yeah not being able to get the mop CM mog because I didn’t play mop fucking sucks

neon oxide
#

I didnt even know what challenge modes were in MoP and I played the heck out of the xpac, just no one I played with at the time knew much about them

gusty mirage
#

It’s one of my fav mogs in the game and I can only get a green recolor from the class hall

#

Also if they’d let us recolor pieces ourselves that’d be kinda neat

neon oxide
#

The green colour for the appearance also looks like it is way lower quality lol

#

Puzzle Box pretty good i think

royal lantern
blissful crown
#

Do you use puzzle pre pull then? And What you do in fight? Always on cd or hold it for DM?

prisma cypress
#

i guess it probably depends on the length of the fight

#

if you know you won't get a third use of it (i.e. if the fight lasts 6 minutes or less), it should be better to save it to use with deathmark at the 4 minute mark

#

as far as when to use it in your rotation, i pop mine right before deathmark

#

not pre pull

magic shuttle
#

New to assassination and have a question about filler rotation with Kingsbane build; I think Im used to playing GCD capped specs but it feels like if I do that with assassination I quickly run out of energy + thistle tea charges. Should I be pooling energy and playing around maximizing Elaborate Planning uptime assuming I can keep Garrote/Rupture/SnD up?

balmy condor
#

But the impact is fairly minimal

#

Might be the difference between 80% envenom uptime and 82%

magic shuttle
#

Gotcha, is it expected to have points in the filler rotation where you just feel drained of all resources if no pooling?

Yep

Whoever was discussing before. Embellishment ranks have no impact on it's effect. It's purely for recipe difficulty.

#

Same with missives.

#

@royal lantern @sand elm

#

@gusty mirage was right

#

You only ever need rank 3 embellishment if you're crafter isn't maxed in that particular craft. A maxed crafter can hit the 405/418 proccs for you easily with full rank 2 materials

Difficult question for the experts here: Deathmark + KB. When you activate DM, details will show a separate line item for all your bleeds and poisons for the bonus damage. However, it does not do the same to KingsBane, which is described as a weapon poison in the tooltip. I’m actually inclined to believe that Deathmark is incorrectly NOT affecting KB. Anyone else ?

it also halves the duration of DM

I'm pretty sure tho I imported the kb ic build like last week and I dont have Exsang

my issue is him speaking with such certainty

anyone know any solid rotation video guides? trying sin out for the first time since like S1 of SL and i'm very rusty. reading the FAQ and having a hard time picturing it from reading. Videos help me a ton.

#

I used to watch infexious videos when he was still making content. not sure which out of the several out there are good.

#

many seem to be more pvp focused

#

guessing there are not any. been looking around myself and haven't found any that are using the builds in the FAQ. One by Pikabooirl doesn't use Resounding Clarity or blindside. Then Killakris one doesn't use serrated bone spike but does take exsanguinate. not sure how those differences affect things.

#

all other videos i've found so far are pvp or M+ focused..

i'm mostly unsure about how to use Echoing Reprimand, and Serrated Bone Spike.
i'm also starting to wonder if the Luxthos WA pack i'm using is tripping me up cuz there is so many things flashing and highlighting that i'm confused and wondering what i'm missing. I'm used to basically just having to focus on keeping S&D up, Rupture and garrote up and spamming mut and envenom until I have to refresh them, and using vendetta off CD.

and from my understanding deathmark is what vendetta used to be.

hey peeps happy xmas, earlier in the day was looking for the talent build for assa and read through the faq nicely, now:
there are some inconsistencies in what the rotation is like and what the talents are for the mythic+ talent trees. The wowhead talent tree for mythic+ from whispyr is different too so im really confused if I should take exsanguinate or not etc, which one is the most recent updated one? im pretty clueless in following what the meta highest dps talents witch so many recent patches aaa

Stat weights were flawed from the start

But they fully died out at that point, praise the lord

idk why raidbots still has the option

frail rivet
#

ok

balmy condor
#

Idk if the DR really did anything about it

#

The DR is accounted for

neon oxide
#

I feel like it just kinda killed off the whole "you need exactly 12.3% haste" talk

balmy condor
#

Why would it

#

If anything, it made it worse

neon oxide
#

Just community perception I think

#

Idk I just see a lot less of it

balmy condor

Because now you have dumbasses going “you want 34% because that’s the breakpoint for first DR”

anyone have a weak aura that puts a timer on our dots

like above the emenys health bar modle

balmy condor

That would be from a nameplate addon

oh god that is horrible to track like that

You can get Plater and rip a Plater profile from Wago

(plater is an addon)

frail rivet
#

emm so which talents should I go for mythic+ btw starege

subtle sand
#

ok thank you

balmy condor
#

I suggest this

neon oxide
#

Oooo I like that, is it just a plugin

balmy condor
#

It’s just a plater profile

balmy condor
neon oxide
#

Oh its a whole profile nice

balmy condor
#

Next week probably kbic

neon oxide
#

I think it depends on group setup too, if I see an arcane mage in my group I know I can play whatever I fancy but if its like DH/Monk im not even gonna bother trying to AoE anyway

#

and just go more ST

#

I like IC but it feels hella redundant on tyrannical

frail rivet
#

ill use dtb faq one cuz wowhead one is probably not updated(?) at least they are diff

#

ttyty

balmy condor
#

I’m not entirely convinced that you should change builds because of a group comp

balmy condor
frail rivet

so basically dbt is more aoe oriented?

balmy condor

Dtb is single target oriented

neon oxide

That’s aoe

marsh fjord

Do you also take exsang with that in aoe?

You can

@balmy condor I raid assasination but do keys as outlaw, is it better for AoE?

outlaw he means

i think

Flame ring

oh

Its statted perfectly for Outlaw

in addition to the cowl being better on AoE as is

Here I'll link my vault

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

It really doesn’t matter

#

The ring is good but it’s nothing insane

#

You need a cowl to proc it

dusty rivet
#

Yea

#

I was contemplating other methods to proc it

balmy condor
#

There are none

dusty rivet
#

like primal ritual shell and forgestrom off a neltharus 0

balmy condor
#

They’re not consistent enough

neon oxide
#

The procs per minute would be super low

dusty rivet
#

The only one thats semi consistant is the weapon but its locked to 372

balmy condor
#

The only viable way to proc the ring

#

Is cowl

#

everything else just sucks

dusty rivet
#

Thats my vault options

shut owl
#

but why would you run a forgestorm 0

balmy condor
#

Oh it’s a normal ring

do gloves give you any tier set bonuses

then take the gloves

That ring is like a im already bis now i need something to chase kind of thing

dusty rivet

so that i can take tier and not feel guilty

Ring + hat combo was simming like 2.1k dps for me on normal ngl it’s pretty good

fixing that typo made me sad

neon oxide
#

why was it not swimming

torn lava

That’s at like 404 ilvl too

it is a very small amount of damage

#

I would not lose my proverbial over it

tier however, is giga

4.5% overall is a ton of damage lol

#

On ST

neon oxide
#

300k of my 7.4m damage

did slightly more than a phial of glacial fury

4.5% but you have to wear shit pieces

I mean they’re good

ye

balmy condor
#

But it’s not omega

torn lava

I mean it’s literally one questionable ring

I lost the first boss fire ring to a holy priest

balmy condor
#

If you have 2cp and cast a rupture, the pandemic is 30% of that

#

If you use rupture on an ER combo point, it’s a 7cp rupture, so the pandemic is 30% of that

weak horizon
#

Hmm, probably unfeasible to set up a good weakaura that shows dynamic rupture pandemic timings based on your CP, right? Does anyone have anything like that?

#

I'm assuming those of you out there just know the rough pandemic timers?

marsh fjord
weak horizon
#

Ayuh, for sure

#

But if I land on a juicy 7 point one it's nice to know when I can do it early

marsh fjord
#

It's def doable in a weakaura what you are asking

#

but it requires code

teal bloom
#

You can just do condition. Make a trigger for amount of combo points you have and make conditions based on that

balmy condor
#

You just have to have a trigger for cp
