I dont trust the calendar msgs

exotic salmon
#

why not

drifting cloud
#

because its wow

balmy condor

distant mist
#

I hope its not upgradable that felt so horrible runnin that place

drifting cloud
#

it was only good because of frost shards mostly anways

narrow inlet

balmy condor
#

you can set your available times and desired progression for the guild

#

and it gives you a giant list of guilds that fit that

#

can basically apply to like 30 guilds in an hour

#

it's real good

finger licking good

balmy condor
#

you got that flaring cowl?

#

cause you inspire me

brazen zodiac
#

2 am gambles are the best, i love logging back over from my alt to my rogue for every venom steep recraft!

#

3 logins later i finally hit me own 418 based

#

debating if i should go tailoring next to make my own 418 cloak, or maybe alc

balmy condor
#

boot embellish, cringe!

brazen zodiac
#

i couldnt think of anything else for evoker healer honestly

#

just looked at the wowhead guide and it said those + alc stone so

#

with 5 sparks now im not really worried about crafting the wrong item you know, haha

#

its gonna feel goofy when i get a 421 dagger and not use my spark daggy starege

#

what u gonna spend ur spark on tomorrow whisp? :o

balmy condor
#

but I got talked out of my delusions

#

so now I got nothing

#

I already have 418 everything except like tier, cos ring, offhand, and belt

#

but belt is socketed, so not making a 418 of that

brazen zodiac
#

id just make brez bracers cause why not i guess.

balmy condor
#

offhand is kinda whatever

#

yeah but my bracers are 418 crit mast

#

so what, I spend a shit ton of money just for a brez I probably won't use?

#

need to be an engi to get the failure rate down

#

or else it fails like 80% of the time

#

fuck that

brazen zodiac
#

well if ur interested

magic eagle
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
brazen zodiac
#

i know a guy who can do it for u for free and can recraft with t2 mats with 42% insp

#

but yeah i hear you

#

ive seen em fail plenty of times haha

balmy condor
#

I probably just craft outlaw weapon for memes

brazen zodiac
#

probably yeah

#

i took my brownies out

#

now i need to let them cool!

balmy condor
#

and then bring it to raid and do the same damage I do on sin, even though I have like 4k mastery

#

because outlaw is a dumb spec

steel ridge
#

wdym even tho 4k mastery

balmy condor
#

I got no vers homie

steel ridge
#

Me neither

balmy condor
#

respec outlaw with a fat 4% vers

#

and like 45% mastery

#

huge value

steel ridge
#

Ah now i get it

#

Yeah same issue for me

#

Kinda getting hints i should play outlaw on kuroh

#

Even tho i am loaded on assa stats

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean I've been doing good on kurog with sin

steel ridge
#

with no weapon and trinkets

keen spruce
#

I've got 7% vers just from my 2 tier pieces peepoStudy2

balmy condor
#

but dunno

#

I'm staring at stats

#

and sin is like -25%

#

and I'm like hmmmmmm

steel ridge
#

yeah overall padding

#

i don’t understand it either

balmy condor

#

What genius had that idea

keen spruce
#

hopefully we kill spoody tomorrow

steel ridge
#

Sin should be atleast equal for actual boss damage + big add for my gear

keen spruce
#

I am... not confident

#

Also i would like it to be known that i have now aquired another 402 and 405 puzzle box

#

which I will be feeding to the ducks in Onharan plains

wintry trout
#

How is assassins aoe damage looking with that new shiv talent?

balmy condor
# oak sky why did it take so long

cause people dying to standing in things not healer issue, don't stand in things. And now it's oh we're in earth phase and people are ticking out that's a healer issue also the damage is so much higher than we thought it would be so gg

balmy condor
#

looking like our aoe damage without the talent right now

oak sky
#

?

#

like yeah my guild was the first to kill with no boomies in 9.1 but we wouldve for sure progged sylv phase 1 quicker if we had them lmao

@brazen zodiac we're ramping up the lwing rn

#

Yo boys! just hopped back into the game for DF, I was doing pretty solid during Shadowlands, got #1 for my server (M+) and like 30ish overall for sin if I'm not trippin before I stopped a few months before the launch .So far this seems like a whole new class to me and I gotta say I quite enjoy it. I'm making some booboo errors though for sure. BUT, any good pieces I should be trying to aim for? I don't plan on hitting the game as hard as I did

balmy condor
#

cos ring, eranog ring, craft a flaring cowl and a lariat, get the other 4 slots filled with tier pieces

#

gg

glossy tulip
#

oof. the ring gives me PTSD man. I probably ran that damn dungeon 100+ times during the week it was 1st open to get it D:

slinging flaring cowls & the toxic boots

brazen zodiac
#

dont take the last 5 points

#

not rly worth

#

5 skills nice but

#

its kinda excess cuz u cant guarantee 405 w/ missive + embell or evne just embell anyways so

#

same with 418

#

unless u need to be able to use insight on ther but even then most people dont wanna use the insight

#

send me a pic of ur tree

brazen zodiac
#

took me two days to get almost max renown with all 4 reps, so by tuesday ill just 5 405 piece of gear 👍

gusty mirage
brazen zodiac
#

okie dokie

gusty mirage
#

You’ll see the fuck ups when I send it

brazen zodiac
#

i dont really know what to do with my points anymore other than another 10 points in inspiring then do multicraft shit cuz fuck mail users ig

#

aint nobody got another 200 knowledge points to do that 402/415 shit

gusty mirage
#

I have like 3 into pants for no reason

#

Lmfao

brazen zodiac
#

i have about 10 wasted points all together, 5 in chest and boots because the additional 5 skill + being able to use an illustrious really doesnt matter

#

the extra 5 skill basically just lets u do 405 with missive guaranteed, not even wtih embellishment starege

gusty mirage
brazen zodiac
#

i also have ridiculous ocd so i cant have 24/21 or like 9

#

has to be even number

#

so include an x amount of wasted points for that as well dead

#

by the 3rd tier everyone should be able to do literally everything in their specific prof so 👍

#

man brownies taketoo long to cool

olive nova
#

Is ass rogue ez to learn?

#

I feel like outlaw makes me energy deficient

balmy condor
#

Assassination is probably just as hard as the other specs now

#

It’s slower though

#

So if outlaw is too fast, maybe Assassination is for you

olive nova
#

I just want something to fuel my ooga booga fury warrior brain

#

And outlaw i cant seem to get my rotation down at all standing like a moron wjth no energy left

balmy condor
#

If you’re running out of energy on outlaw

#

You’re not gonna like the other specs KEKL

#

Outlaw one of the fastest specs in the game

#

Maybe smoke some weed and get off the adderall

brazen zodiac
#

what you wanna be sonic for a whole ass raid night? xd

#

honestly

#

its not even worth trying for premade groups anymore

#

pseudo hamlet
#

I am guessing that DTB+AP will be best for the raiding? Not sure what about M+? DTB+IC or AP+IC?

balmy condor
#

check the spreadsheet

#

but basically it's just DTB on its own for raid

#

and DTB+IC in m+

#

and nothing much else

#

DTB+AP is a possibility for more cleave keys and raging weeks but that's more of a "people will have to play it" situation

#

the numbers don't look too good on AP

magic vine
#

unless your sheets out of date that seems.. like a weird assessment to me whispyr

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

where does it look good

#

m+?

#

where you lose 10+% in single target?

#

for 5% in cleave and aoe?

magic vine
#

like, relatively to the new dtb its worse, but its equal to the current dtb on single target

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

but the payoff isn't there

magic vine
#

and your dslice is at -.59 which is definitely down to a "what is the weekly modifier" choice

balmy condor
#

every high m+ player I've talked to looked at the numbers and said "not running it"

#

so

#

AP right now is considered a raging week take

#

and that's it

magic vine
#

and your 4-cleave is at nearly +5%

pseudo hamlet
#

Damn, the new talents reshuffle feels really weird to be honest...

balmy condor
#

the loss in single target simply isn't worth the gain you get otherwise

#

that's how they assess it

#

I get the dslice numbers look kinda okay

#

but even then, it's still worse

magic vine
#

yea but its not like "this is a trash option" number

pseudo hamlet
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

you're not going to notice 5% in 4 target

#

unless you need to clear an enrage on multiple targets

#

what's the point

magic vine
#

i'll agree that the single target on the M+ build is the weakest point of it

balmy condor
#

is the point playing a new talent just because it's new?

magic vine
#

but if the majority of the instance isn't in single target and the boss isn't the stumbling point its perfectly fine from your numbers

balmy condor
#

yeh, perfectly fine and still worse

#

like you can play raid builds without exsanguinate

#

they're fine

#

but they're still worse

magic vine
#

no exsang is a bigger loss than the ap build lol

teal bloom
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

the original question was what's best

#

and I told him that AP isn't the best in any situation

#

and the high m+ runners aren't considering it either

#

what's the issue with that

#

well, I guess I need to be more precise

#

you play it on council in raid

#

that's a clear win

#

but it doesn't sim higher in any realistic situation

#

so

magic vine
#

yea dunno i've just been seeing it framed the way like, the comparison between frost dk with oblit and bos (where oblits like a "under +15 option"), when the numbers are actually quite close

#

or like how kb is basically a full 5% behind in everything

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean KB is a problem

narrow inlet
#

i got it

#

i beat dathea hc with premade groups after 19 tries

winter raft
robust dune
#

What is AP? sorry i cant find the meaning... :S

magic vine
#

question for you whisp: the ap sim isn't holding exsang to sync with dm, is that not still the better usage option?

#

actually the dtb sim does the same thing now that i look

balmy condor
#

I'm doing a re-sim of stuff later today I think

#

should fix all the weirdness

#

like the stupid openers, etc

#

won't have much of an effect on the actual balance of the builds, which is why I've sorta blown it off

magic vine
#

yea for sure, just an oddity that had me double taking
also did you look at having it pool 2x shiv for each dm?

magic vine
#

neat, it'll be interesting to see where it all shakes down with all the updated apl stuff for each build. i think you're spot on with the relative amounts not changing much (though i think ap should benefit a touch more from the cooldown stacking), but it might put it over the current values for kb+exsang which is not the worst spot

balmy condor
magic vine
#

yea the apl that other person posted seemed to just hold for ~5 secs before DM and thats about it, which feels close to the limit

#

i think if ttb wasn't crap it'd work better lol

dawn haven
#

Is KB build getting worse or better next week with the changes?

#

Missing out on execute seems rough but idk if the extra energy gen makes up for that from DS

magic vine
#

kb is worse

grim jay
magic vine
#

actual numbers probably change a bit since whispyr has even more apl improvements, but they're for every build so the ratio unlikely to drastically change:

grim jay
magic vine
#

but like oblits just not a thing in the raid at all tbqh

worthy moth
#

assassination getting bigger

subtle tundra
#

is it tho

magic vine
#

yes

grim jay
#

we all about those couple hundred dps!

grim jay
magic vine
#

basically at lower keys you generally don't get tanks doing the big pulls, or they'll have long pauses and stuff. just lots of chances to drop breath

grim jay
#

many people still have a wrong take on it tho

#

bicepspump actually made a pretty good video on oblit m+

#

explaining the differences

magic vine
#

yea he kicks ass at it, but its definitely one of those "you found the one guy on the server who kicks ass with X build" situations

balmy condor
subtle tundra

i think he means bigger in sadness

hey all new to sin, just started picking it up. Whats our follow up after vanish out of opener. See some people triple garotte, garotte/envenom/garotte, whats the standard practice here in raid ST settings

balmy condor
#

if you're vanishing in deathmark and have shrouded suffocation, you should gar->finish->gar

#

if you don't, you would just gar once and then move on

#

triple gar is always incorrect unless you have multiple targets

raven vapor
#

!neck

prisma monolithBOT
rare jackal
#

gar - snd - gar - SBS - rupture would feel like the most intuitive thing

#

i guess it just comes down to "cause math"

balmy condor
#

it's not exsang that makes double gar a thing

#

it's shrouded

rare jackal
#

however it seems like, despite having shrouded and no exanguanite you still only use one cast of garrote during the opener

balmy condor
#

no you don't

#

if you have shrouded, and no exsang

#

you double garrote

rare jackal
#

welp

#

guess i unlearned the correct way then lol

balmy condor
#

what gave you the notion that we dont?

rare jackal
#

the FAQ and looking at the opener sequence when simming

balmy condor
#

okay well the FaQ definitely says to double garrote with shrouded

#

sim is interesting though

#

cause it definitely should do that

rare jackal
#

i ran it again to double check

rare jackal
#

cause my takeaway was that you only double triple garrote if you have exang or if you are in a multi target situation

#

seeing, as this was reflected in the sim

#

i thought that was the way to go

balmy condor
#

yeah the sim stuff is weird

#

I don't remember it changing to an exsang check

#

oh, I remember

regal sable
#

i always thought the point was to double garrote for max duration going into exsang

#

im also dumb so

balmy condor
#

its cause double garrote without syncing dm/gar back up actually desyncs vanish from deathmark so hard that they don't overlap

#

when you aren't running exsang

#

but that's fucking dumb

#

so I ignored that

#

so yeah, you're correct, sims do that

#

I choose to refuse that reality though

#

cause desyncing your vanish 15 seconds from your deathmark

#

is uh

#

kinda dumb

balmy condor
#

it's just back to this stupid cd sync logic that's plagued sin the entire expansion

#

where it's not really a gain to sync

#

because the sim is a scumbag

#

but any normal human playing will sync

regal sable
#

so ur saying we dont double gar in deathmark with vanish

balmy condor
#

I'm saying we do

regal sable
#

ooooooooooooo ok ook yeah

#

coolio 👍

balmy condor
#

sims see vanish desync from deathmark and don't care

#

cause holding deathmark for the next vanish would be like 15 seconds of holding

#

which ends up being 0.2 deathmark casts less on average or whatever

#

and it sits there all smug claiming the 0.2 deathmark casts are better than holding a couple seconds

#

but no one thinks like that

regal sable
#

i simply push buttons on cd and hope for the best

sinful oasis
#

DTB vs KB+EXSANG in ST raid whats ur guys experiences?

pseudo geyser
#

Will assassin be better for M+ with the changes?

royal lantern
#

kb is dead in 2-3 days @sinful oasis

grim jay
sinful oasis
#

im switching to sin for some raid bosses

#

wondering which i should go

grim jay
#

kb + exs sims higher for many and has more execute, dtb is easier to play and kb is dead next week

sinful oasis
#

e.g. H raz

#

I see

#

ty

pseudo geyser
royal lantern
#

same

#

you lose build vairety

#

but dmg doesnt change

pseudo geyser
#

Oh well that's unfortunate

royal lantern
#

i mean, assa is allready in a good spot for m+

magic vine
#

dmg up slightly

royal lantern
#

its no prot warrior/resto druid/outlaw/sub SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS tier that blows everything out of the water

#

but assa is good for keys rn

grim jay
#

yeah its fun

#

I play it on 19s and 20s if I feel like it

#

doesnt make you feel like you lose out on much and fun always is a win if you dont need to tryhard on something

thorn crater
#

i cant push higher than 59-61k dps on keys dno why

#

guess i need to use my cds more

night perch
#

Is it ok to ask a noob question?

royal lantern
#

just do it

tardy basin
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
royal lantern
#

we probably see worse questions here daily

night perch
#

So its about rupture in aoe, how many targets realistically should i aim to get rupture on before using envenoms ?

royal lantern
#

m+?

night perch
#

Yea

#

I just leveled a rogue last week doing 2s and stuff

royal lantern
#

well, 7bleeds is iirc when you start to have endless energy and can just spam endless

#

but its like, you want to rupture the higher priority targets anyway cus its dmg

night perch
#

I think i got the st down but aoe i cant seem to grasp

royal lantern
#

+in 5-6+target situations its acually better to start spamming CT instead of envenom and only use envenom to keep SnD running

night perch
#

7 ruptures or just bleeds in general?

royal lantern
#

bleeds

#

but in m+ you play with IC anyway, and IC is a auto bleed spread

night perch
#

Oh ok

royal lantern
#

its like

night perch
#

I was using the recommended builds on wowhead

royal lantern
#

with IC you bleed anything anyway

night perch
#

They dont use that talent

royal lantern
#

when IC is on cd, rupture the high priority guys cus they need the dmg and then start filling with other finishers

night perch
#

Cept on algethar

#

So just rupture maybe 3 then look to refresh slice and dice or CT?

#

Is that a good place to start

royal lantern
#

if you are overwhelmed in general, yeha seems like a decent idea

night perch
#

And do i just garrote on cd to any target without it?

stone gull
#

Anyone got a good plater for Assa ?

grim jay
grim jay
stone gull
#

Thanks !

regal yarrow
#

Is there a gameplay altering reason where i would want to track my poisons on enemy? (except amplifying)

balmy condor
#

on a 2 target fight you'd want to tab-mutilate to spread the poison should you not apply it when you refresh bleeds

#

but otherwise, no

regal needle
#

Does Deathmark work like a "toggle"? What I mean by that is it aplifies rupture and garrote even if it was pre-applied? Or do I need to apply new ones after DM?

balmy condor
#

it applies current bleeds

marble hemlock
#

can we have

#

100% poison proc chance

#

and just

#

balance the numbers to make up for it?

#

im sick of casting 4 foks and 2 CTs and see half the mobs not have poisons still

slim hamlet
#

Skill issue

#

Just simply proc it first time

#

and its 100%

thorn crater
#

nvm i started using cds on cd on large trash packs

#

got 72k on nokhud 19

#

guess i gotta slam DM more lol

slim hamlet
#

Actually

#

What is the point of not having 100% proc

grim jay
#

no matter the spec or class

#

actually

thorn crater
#

the thing is i dont really know how long a pull is gonna take

#

which ngl is kinda inexcusable after having done over 100 keys lol

#

i dont pay attentino

blazing skiff
#

make the tank give you the mdt route so you know if you need to save or not

thorn crater
#

but on nokhud i have a pretty good idea so i kept using

#

route doesnt give u timer on each pack

slim hamlet
#

better to press dm and have it die a bit before u get full value than hold it for 1 extra min

#

but most of the time there is a prio target to just send dm on

thorn crater

still not using exsang as much as i should but

#

guess i need to get used to it

slim hamlet

exsang is def quite frustrating to use in m+ sometimes

faint gull

So if kb is dead in next reset is the dtb st build the way to go?

Or is there a new build to run

yep just dtb

heavy elk
#

Does that extra point we gain from Dashing Scoundrel going to 2 points go into Shrouded or zoldyck's 3rd point? I assume shrouded but

balmy condor
#

we already take shrouded

topaz bluff
#

Or I'll silence a caster pull only for the DH to open with aoe stun followed by warrior shockwave, and then mobs start cast spamming, like bruhs... pepehands

heavy elk
#

Update your wowhead guide then, that DTB raid build does not take shrouded

balmy condor
#

it do be like that

#

assassination right now has 6 viable builds

#

what do you want me to do

#

suggest all 6 and then have people confused why I'm suggesting so many?

heavy elk
#

not respond with a "we already take shrouded" when clearly at least one viable build, the one presented on the most popular resource, does not

thorn crater

if u dont like it go touch grass.

ure already in here so go open the assassination faq

I think SBS was simming better for me with poison build before bleeds with 4pc were a thing. I could misremember though 🤔

balmy condor

okay well that's definitely on crack because every build takes sbs

that ain't even a "too many options" situation

I was meaning for M+ content, sorry. Over shrouded

balmy condor
spice spire
balmy condor

you're simming a poison dtb

for m+?

slim hamlet

I mean

topaz bluff

I was for a tyran week to try it, people here were saying it was pretty good (dtb on tyran). The dtb M+, I'm pretty sure SbS was higher than SS. Again could be wrong that was several weeks back when I just had 2pc.

I tried it for a few and went back to KB/IC

U have it in the faq

Are you talking to me? I didn't say anything about it being in an FAQ if so lol. I only mentioned that SbS simmed higher for me in a 2pc setup awhile back if I recalled correctly when someone asked about why SbS was listed over a shroud or something lol

I'm part miserable

I looked at it for bout 15 minutes and dance was so horrendous that I lost all motivation to optimize it

no shadowdance AP optimizations coming anytime soon?

for poor little seli

balmy condor

correct

#

I got better things to do than try to find 0.4% gains for a build that's already 10% behind

#

exercise left to the reader

marble hemlock

but what if its 4% gains here and 2% there and suddenly

slim hamlet
#

suddenly only 4% worse starege

meager granite

We playing what ifs ?

marble hemlock

no

#

im just being silly

and i want shadowdance to be decent

so i can get more silences in m+

and dont have to swap to night elf

taking dance means you get to take improved ambush, and dance, and then a bunch of garbage

dreamy gull
#

Shadow dance flat earth build

marble hemlock
#

small enough of a ST loss that the aoe/m+ utility might be worth the trade-off

dreamy gull
balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

its what

#

8k lower st?

#

thats not a smol dps loss ConcernFroge

#

for barely more aoe/cleave

balmy condor
#

well its 10k

#

but fuck you

marble hemlock
#

i thought you found like

#

2% somewhere

magic vine
#

the aoes strong enough to put it barely behind on the dslice sim, even with it being 10k behind on st

balmy condor
#

the AP stuff I found was between 0.5% and 1.5% depending on target count

dreamy gull
#

I'm always tempted to cut aoe for single target cause I like popping my cooldowns and watching the healthbar melt

balmy condor
#

single target was 0.5% KEKW

marble hemlock
#

yeah basically

#

say dance+AP would be behind by like

#

3-4k on ST but ~10% better on aoe

#

that'd be worth it in my book

balmy condor
#

dance + AP

marble hemlock
#

but im guessing

#

dance+AP is like

#

15k worse

#

on ST

balmy condor
#

erm....

#

it's uh

#

a little worse

#

than that

marble hemlock
#

well

#

assuming theres some optimizations that arent in the APL yet atm

#

like shiv+dance conditions for AP

#

with garrote etc.

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

cope

marble hemlock
#

sbs+AP sync, dance+AP sync etc.

#

obviously

#

it aint gonna be

#

huge but like

#

it'd shave off a few percent at least

#

but itd still be awful compared to DTB

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

at least

dreamy gull
#

There are prob scenarios where wound poison is good for dtb right

marble hemlock
#

no

dreamy gull
#

Oh

marble hemlock
#

theres like

#

1 boss

#

where youd play wound, and you can just swap poisons real quick

#

that'd be 1st boss ruby

magic vine
#

the question is more about how much the aoe gets improved by the apl updates than the st in m+ ap build

marble hemlock
#

and you have enough time to swap poison when she starts the whelp cast, and build 3 stacks

#

and swap back

marble hemlock
#

we already know that the AoE is superior to dtb in actual M+, because it is right now, and the m+ builds were comparing to stay basically the same

#

but ye

#

either way

#

can enjoy even more prio ig

#

ill miss KB+execute tho

balmy condor
#

the only hope for dance in single target is getting garrote in execute

marble hemlock
#

ye

balmy condor
#

which is....... a thing

#

that it could do

marble hemlock
#

i mean it'd basically be

magic vine
#

i think the only hope for dance is getting the fw node changed majorly

marble hemlock
#

(assuming working NS)

#

some decent NS snapshotted exsang bleeds during execute

#

with AP syncs

#

that shouldnt be too terrible

#

but ye

#

its still hot garbage imo

#

FW is fine

#

i mean, its not but like, its not the issue

#

tight spenders being useless is more of an issue, imo

#

when you compare it to like

#

4% vers/10% builder crit in the other parts of the tree

#

its just terrible

dreamy gull
#

Fsr mutilate gives me 4 combo points sometimes

#

Idk how that happens

balmy condor
#

you crit

dreamy gull
#

Can seal fate trigger twice..?

balmy condor
#

mutilate is 2 hits

marble hemlock
#

on abilities that hit twice, sure

balmy condor
#

so yeh

dreamy gull
#

Oh

marble hemlock
#

it can trigger 5 times for full CP on FoK, cause it hits a lot on AoE

balmy condor
#

or on shiv with arterial precision

marble hemlock
#

didnt realz say it doesnt

balmy condor
#

wdym

marble hemlock
#

cuz its not the same as fok?

balmy condor
#

it works exactly like fok

#

it's 1 shiv, hitting many things

#

so you get 1cp and seal fate on all of them

marble hemlock
#

i remember smth about it not generating extra CP

balmy condor
#

yeah

marble hemlock
#

but mightve been a fever dream

balmy condor
#

it doesn't generate 1 cp for each shiv

marble hemlock
#

ah yeah

balmy condor
#

but it generates cp from seal fate

marble hemlock
#

that was it

#

thats still

#

very weird

#

imo

balmy condor
#

seli I have good news

#

dance ap is in fact only 15% behind in single target

dreamy gull
#

Only PepeSadKEKW

balmy condor
#

it's also behind by 9% in dslice, and 5% in cleave

#

huge!

royal lantern
marble hemlock
#

stop trying to crush my dreams, youre not my dad

magic vine
#

i don't think you can optimize 9%

#

(unless its an apl bricking)

marble hemlock
#

i mean the purpose of dance in aoe/cleave would mostly be for chainpulls and shit

#

to still get stealth ICs

turbid harbor
#

Would help if nightstalker worked

magic vine
#

it'd be better to get your tank to adjust play and gain 9% dmg

topaz bluff
marble hemlock
#

chain pulling is a massive overall time-gain in basically every dungeon

#

you do a pull, theres 8 mobs, 2 need regular interrupts, you kill them, you pull the next pack that also needs 2 regular interrupts

#

just makes way more sense to prio those and chain, than finish up the pull

#

being able to get IC garrotes off woudl obviously be very nice in that environment

#

theres this prevalent myth that assa wants regular restealths. it doesnt. it wants proper chainpulls to fully benefit from its high sustained DPS output. problem is most tanks dont do that, and then they chain with 1 mob left at 5% HP, and then you think "wouldve liked to restealth". but thats not what shouldve happened, he just shouldve chained sooner

topaz bluff
#

Chain pull feels kinda limited in M+ with the new dungeons though. If you're a non warrior in Ruby I feel they get blasted by magic damage to some mobs even when kick prio mobs are dead. Nok just have massive gaps between mobs and assholes that won't move and have no aggro table

marble hemlock
#

i mean i.e. in nokhud, entire first boss area you can chain

#

you kill the small shit, chain the 1 big mob

copper musk
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
marble hemlock
#

same around 3rd boss

#

you usually do like double pulls and whatever is leftover you chain

#

but yeah obviously its a bit of a tank issue, if they run out of CDs and cant chain for survivability, then you finish things up. but its not the "ideal" situation for us to have to re-start our ramp instead of sustaining dots over long periods of time

yo, can someone explain to me very quick, why is assa F tier this week on subcreation in m+?

because, err.... they are clueless?

or are they just doing smalles keys?

#

smaller

marble hemlock
#

idk

#

youd have to ask the people who make these lists

glass berry
#

isnt subcration tier list based on popupulation?

marble hemlock
#

maybe

#

putting any rogue spec below A tier is just trolling, all 3 rogue specs are kinda great rn

subtle tundra
#

subcreation is based on logs

clever depot
#

thats why im asking xd

subtle tundra
#

its not a person doing them

#

its based on the keys played

marble hemlock
#

okay

#

and no one really gives a fuck about logging their m+ so

#

there you go

subtle tundra
#

its mostly the chinese players that log their keys to show up on rio

marble hemlock
#

either way, its about popularity and how much its played still

clever depot
#

so, if the affixes are good for pushing, ppl gonna play the best spec and other specs just gonna fall off?

marble hemlock
subtle tundra
#

well its still mostly chinese logs

topaz bluff

Only issue on non fort weeks I have is in lower keys, the instant pewpew classes burst the packs too quick for me to really show up.

Unless it's a nice PBox CT spam burst window for me as well.

clever depot

wtf is pbox

topaz bluff
#

Puzzle box

clever depot
#

aaah

topaz bluff
#

Lower keys+ older content+non-fort dungeons you'll notice it more. HoV is the most notable for me. The pulls I don't have IC up and need to manually spread is very, very noticable lol. Mobs don't live long enough to really "catch up".

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Crit >= Mastery > Haste > Versatility
Note: In high mythic+ keys, you may want more Versatility to survive. While you may see this on high end players gear, this is generally worse DPS. For pure DPS, Versatility is mostly avoided.

Most people aren't really farming the 20s outside of just getting the weekly vaults in. Most farming is done at 16s for the crafted upgrade tokens at least from our guildies/alts. I imagine that's were most people farm.

using it on envenom is a waste

if you use it on a dot does it snapshot?
