thorn fjord
#

Send on cd

lament warren

#

otherwise hold on cd

thorn fjord

Yeah make sure you@have one for dm

lament warren
#

yeah i went from 141k to 161k today compared to last time i tried sin on council even though i had to run a bit cause a DH was trolling with marks on purpose, at least we have one use for the new capstone...

gusty mirage
#

a DH trolling with marks?

#

I'm shocked

feral rivet
#

😄

gusty mirage
#

UNGA BUNGA MOMENTUM players?

#

noooo

feral rivet
#

he was telling me prepull he would chase me every time he got mark

muted ridge
#

am I tweaking. was this always the opener for DTB? I was always going Garrote > SND > Garrote > SBS > Rupture > Ecohing > Rupture into exsang item + dm and rest.

feral rivet

thorn fjord
#

y'all actually do mechanics on council?

gusty mirage
#

thank god you can outgear council where its just a meme

#

the last 3 kils

#

we've done it with like

#

I havent ran M Council going on 3 weeks now

gusty mirage
thorn fjord
#

Whisp trinket hasnt dropped from mythic at all for us lol... got alot of sad people

gusty mirage

I'm assuming that's without exsang?

gusty mirage

I won the last one

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

im still rocking a norma torch btw

#

🙂

gusty mirage
#

legit

#

first 3 weeks

#

we dropped like 8

#

across all difficulties

thorn fjord
#

Thats huge luck

gusty mirage
#

haven't seen one since lmao

#

we started memeing about it being rare

thorn fjord
#

That was us with rings and i didnt get one

#

Now they dont exist

#

I bet there was a ninja nerf to those "super rare" items

gusty mirage
#

I've watched the secret

#

CMON UNIVERSE

#

HELP MY BOY OUT

thorn fjord
#

It didnt drop off heroic or mythic yesterday... so we're back to box prayers for the next week

echo heath
#

manifest the ring!

gusty mirage
#

because I gav eup on the ring and was ready to upgrade my algethar ring

feral rivet
#

we had out first eranog mythic ring today and our first council mythic trinket today

gusty mirage
#

and then it dropped

#

and my RL scooped it to me

feral rivet
#

just in time to start extending this week

gusty mirage
#

oh god

#

the pain

#

I hope we kill dathea tonight

#

so we perma extend

feral rivet
#

same

thorn fjord
gusty mirage
#

until I can quit

#

LOL

#

I'm never doing that boss again

#

whatever I parse on it, is my parse forever

gusty mirage
#

I gotchu fam

thorn fjord
#

I get sat on all re kills except eggnog and sennarth now

gusty mirage
#

I got the template already

#

just gotta drop in the names

thorn fjord
#

lolol

#

i think he's in the server let me @ him

gusty mirage
muted ridge
#

hence why I am confused

gusty mirage
#

if you're ER -> Rupture -> Exsanging

#

you're doing it right

thorn fjord
#

I send PB after the ER

lament warren
#

sims aren’t optimized for opener

thorn fjord
#

gar snd gar rupture er pb rup van gar

muted ridge
#

but should i send one envenom before ER rupture exsang?

thorn fjord
#

nah send one env before shiv+tea

muted ridge
#

so after DM

thorn fjord
#

yeah hit DM env then continue

muted ridge
#

gotcha

thorn fjord
#

you should be at 6-7 cp when you DM

muted ridge
#

eh

gusty mirage
#

also a few things to keep in mind when looking at sims:

  • a 5 minute sim actually includes iterations that are 4-6 minutes so that it provides a buffer of sorts
  • the sim knows exactly when the fight will end. boss is dead at that timelimit
muted ridge
#

yeah I wont

lament warren
#

you’ll be at 5 after you dm

muted ridge
#

how

lament warren
#

without kb

muted ridge
#

like

lament warren
#

vanish garrote dm

muted ridge
#

I do ER rupture Exsang into DM

thorn fjord
#

You're doing the late vanish/gar refresh then?

muted ridge
#

I do vanish gar after dm

#

ye

lament warren
#

garrote snd garrote sbs rupture er trinket rupture vanish garrote exsang dm shiv envenom

muted ridge
#

since i macro it

thorn fjord
#

See i exsang DM env shiv+tea

lament warren
#

you should be at 5

#

so shiv is 1

thorn fjord
#

Am i crazy or do i see DM giving me extra CP when i cast it?

lament warren
#

so you have a 6cp envenom next global

royal lantern
lament warren
#

it’s because of empowered garrote

#

you’re pressing dm in the empowered window

#

so the duplicated garrote is giving you cp

thorn fjord
#

ahhhhhh

lament warren
#

it gives you 2 bonus but not 1 from application

thorn fjord
#

i wondered why it always gave extra CP on opener but not during the actual encounter

lament warren
#

so the first garrote is 3

#

then dm gives you 2

thorn fjord
#

yeah thats why i usually end at 6-7

CD gets refreshed when mob dies too

watching the sub rogue do 3,3m dmg on terros with rupture alone when i did 3million

#

ASSA IS THE DOT SPEC BTW

petition to rename rupture to nightblade

#

on subtlety

lament warren
#

i like the name and icon too much to agree

dark bridge
#

Night blades icon was really weird

vestal wren
lament warren
#

if it were just the purple dagger

#

id be all over it

dark bridge
#

Looks like a buff/cooldown

royal lantern
#

@vestal wren no joke man

#

when assa does less dmg with its bleeds then sub when its major cd is a dot amplification and it has a dot based execute

#

something is maybe a bit wonky

#

🤔

lament warren
#

i think it’s fine

#

it’s just one bleed

#

it’s not like priest with holy sw:p being stronger than shadow

oak sky
#

Shadow isnt really a dot spec

royal lantern
#

healers have high base dmg spells cus they have no dmg amps and stuff

oak sky
#

Holy fire cranks bro

lament warren
#

holy isn’t a dps spec

royal lantern
#

r druid moonfire does more dmg then boomkins moonfire aswell

#

and mw monk tigerpalm more then ww

#

thats all healers, they have high base dmg so they can actually kill stuff

lament warren
#

spriest should be a dot spec

oak sky
#

Bro prevoker does like 20k wirh just fire breath and living flame spam

#

Ripbozo vesper totem

vestal wren
#

but simply comparing one spell to a other without more context is fairly useless

oak sky
#

Rupture is an enabler on sin as it currently stands

#

Main value is scent and vw

#

Imo its damage is still too low but like whatever

lament warren
#

lethal dose!

#

just want bod sin back

oak sky
#

I want competitive cleave

royal lantern
#

i want a hug

#

(and competitive cleave)

vestal wren
#

(sub is quite a bit behind)

oak sky
vestal wren
#

!sheet

prisma monolithBOT
gusty mirage
#

it lasted like 8s

#

and buffed eviscerate

vestal wren
#

2 target cleave:
sub(blue)
sin(green)
outlaw(red)

gusty mirage
#

I can't remember if nightblade actually did any damage

#

my memory of it was legit just a buff to evisc damage

vestal wren
#

it did initially the same damage as rupture

#

then got reworked into being a "damage amp" mid legion

oak sky
#

Oh low key sin can get an extra talent for cleave now

#

Thats not too bad actually

gusty mirage
oak sky
#

Kinda forgot about the patch

gusty mirage
#

😛

vestal wren
oak sky
gusty mirage
#

all of it

#

all the damage

cyan surge
#

I like the set bonus in legion that made nightblade last a very long time. Think it was NH tier.

gusty mirage
#

mage gets 5%, rogue gets a nerf to outlaw and a buff to a talent everyone forgot about for sub

marble hemlock
gusty mirage
#

makes sense

#

I came back at the end of legion

oak sky
#

Then you have to press it a lot

gusty mirage
#

so I never got to see the original

oak sky
#

Wack

gray hazel
#

Have you guys done the new shiv talent for m+? if so, how do you like it on fort weeks?

vestal wren
#

it was same duration due to tier set

#

it was lower duration because it got changed to have damage cp independent

marble hemlock
#

well, it existed for 2expansions, only 1 tier had the set bonus

vestal wren
#

while assassination had cp dependency on damage

cyan surge
#

I think in cata evis refreshed rupture for sub.

marble hemlock
#

rupture ap scaling was removed during nighthold tho

vestal wren
#

but rupture on assassiantion was also changed later to be cp independent

marble hemlock
#

or end of nighthold

vestal wren
#

yes

#

you could argue that nightblade was a damage amp for the majority of its existence

#

but i don't think rupture on subtlety should change to be a damage amp again, but just renamed to have a clear distinction between the 2 specs

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

you basically just

#

spread nightblade outside of dance

#

then ripped evis on NB targets during dance

#

at least in early BfA in aoe

#

was kinda nice actually

lament warren
#

i do think the nightblade icon is super sick but it does not fit the criteria for a dot

vestal wren
#

bfa had nights vengence that allowed some use trickery

gusty mirage
#

man

gusty mirage
#

azerite armor could've been so good

#

what was jeff hamilton thinking

royal lantern
#

a guy that is screaming, just like me when i see it and yell "why is this a talent???"

next edge
#

first time i do opener i nraid

#

without wathching on other screen

#

and i dotn fuck up

gusty mirage
#

exsang your DM

#

live your best life

lament warren
#

exsang dm = better parse

#

that's just how that works

gusty mirage
#

harder to mismanage a shorter DM window

next edge
#

and i wanted to kms

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

if you exsang your dm

#

shiv lasts the whole dm

thorn fjord
#

pog

lament warren
#

that's 100% efficiency

gusty mirage
#

speaking of bad life hacks

#

if you buy protein bars that taste like shit

#

and eat one every time you're hungry

#

you'll lose so much weight

lament warren
#

LMAOOOO

#

have you ever made ramen that's so spicy you can't slurp it

gusty mirage
#

I haven't tried that

lament warren
#

it hurts

terse orchid
gusty mirage
#

but I'm currently trying the protein bar one by accident

lament warren
#

i ran out of the oil that i usually use

#

and now i'm using some like

#

3x hotter one

#

and i slurp the noodles and i just start coughing

gusty mirage
#

I was so hungry 10 minutes ago

thorn fjord
#

im hungry but have no appetite

gusty mirage
#

now I want to throw up

thorn fjord
#

sick life 😦

lament warren
#

:'c

gusty mirage
#

idk who invented this flavor of protein bar

#

but they need to be imprisoned

thorn fjord
#

Which one is it

gusty mirage
#

it's the quest double chocolate one

#

and it's gross

#

idk why I even bought it I don't like chocolate

thorn fjord
#

ohhh yeah those are bad

gusty mirage
#

holy shit I'm dumb

thorn fjord
#

these?

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

tastes like mud

#

10/10 for weight loss though

#

so effective

terse orchid
#

Oh shit, that's nice

gusty mirage

but lack of manpower made it kinda fade into obscurity

thorn fjord

Yeah i remember trying to use it during BFA

So now we don't need to be publicly shamed in here?

royal lantern

i once got like

a bag of 20 protein bars

Some things still aren't quite implemented yet, so you'll still need manual log review, but it can at least tell you things like "stop pressing Fan of Knives on ST"

lament warren
#

my guild private logs

#

what now

gusty mirage
#

I feel like implementing the ER stuff

terse orchid
gusty mirage
#

is a pain in the ass

grim tangle
#

private logging is so cringe

gusty mirage
#

boys we're gaming

main vessel
lament warren
#

ah yeah

thorn fjord
#

im actually a true shitter

lament warren
#

it does count animecharged points as low cp finishers

#

doesn't it

thorn fjord
#

dont @ me

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

holy

gusty mirage
#

killing it 😄

gusty mirage
terse orchid
lament warren
#

:3

main vessel
lament warren
#

so

#

what happens is that when you animacharge combo points

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

you get three independent buffs on your character

#

i can get you those ids

main vessel
#

Please, that'll make setting up some amount of tracking easier

lament warren
#

it tells you which combo point is animacharged based on metadata

gusty mirage
#

yo this is actually insanely better

#

than it has been in like

lament warren
#

so it's really as simple as if you have that buff and you send that many cp

gusty mirage
#

6 years

lament warren
#

it's actually worth 7

gusty mirage
#

holy shit

main vessel
lament warren
#

i'll grab

gusty mirage
#

now I can tell you guys to go wowanalyzer and leave me alone

lament warren
#

i'm logging in rn

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

2 CP: 323558
3 CP: 323559
4 CP: 323560
@main vessel

main vessel
lament warren
#

that's with resounding clarity

#

i'm not sure how echoing reprimand functions without it

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

if it's able to animacharge cp before or after 2 and 4

main vessel
#

You'd only get 1 Animacharged CP without Resounding Clarity, yes?

lament warren
#

yes

gusty mirage
#

yeppers

lament warren
#

but I'm not sure where it can land

gusty mirage
#

I think it's randomly one of the 3 slots

lament warren
#

ah

#

then those buff ids will still work fine

gusty mirage
#

assassination vibes

main vessel
#

So just to echo back: if you have 1 Animacharged CP, it's on the 2nd CP slot, and you spend 2 CPs, that acts like 7 CPs?

lament warren
#

how does wowanalyzer parse buffs?

#

correct

#

any animacharged combo point spent acts as a 7 point finisher

main vessel
#

Does the 7 changed based on your max CP or is it always 7 regardless

lament warren
#

which also means the pandemic time for rupture is increased

gusty mirage
#

always 7

lament warren
#

always 7

main vessel
gusty mirage
#

and I wouldn't bother implementing non-resounding ER

#

because if someone's playing that, not even wowanalyzer can help them

upbeat hazel
#

hello fellow assa players, how should i open on sennarth?

lament warren
#

implementing resounding ER implements non-resounding on its own

#

so

#

it's pretty pog

main vessel
#

ngl, non-resounding is already implemented

lament warren
#

oh that's really really easy then

#

just two more buff ids to compare

gusty mirage
#

damn wowanalyzer

lament warren
#

and then I just go into normal

#

with a 6 cp snd

#

instead of a 3cp snd

gusty mirage
#

this is actually exciting af

main vessel
gusty mirage
#

WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE HYPE ABOUT THIS

lament warren
#

i send the 2cp rupture from sbs

#

because it will pandemic anyway with er

gusty mirage
#

nah I for sure forgot about torrent

#

lmao

upbeat hazel
#

hm

lament warren
#

but

main vessel
#

examples of things that aren't in the spellbook include puzzle box, grieftorch

lament warren
#

honestly

upbeat hazel
#

is it worth to garrote the small dude

lament warren
#

just ignore the small spider

#

i mean

upbeat hazel
#

he dies in 0.00001 sec yeha

lament warren
#

technically yes

#

but it's not big

gusty mirage
#

omg

#

the timeline is better than WCLs

#

THANK YOU

#

GOD

upbeat hazel
#

im currently garrote spider snd garrote boss into normal

#

maybe i should snd after 2nd garrote then

lament warren
#

nah

#

garrote after first

#

i'm not a good player

upbeat hazel
#

ur the 2nd best rogue

#

wdym

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

you want to garrote after first so that your second garrote + sbs will give full rupture

gusty mirage
#

you're my fav player

lament warren
#

because actually i was wrong and 2cp rupture does not pandemic

gusty mirage
lament warren
#

so good opener on sennarth is

#

garrote small spider -> snd -> garrote sennarth -> sbs -> rupture -> er -> trinket -> rupture -> vanish -> garrote -> exsang -> deathmark -> shiv + tea -> envenom

#

sbs on small spider is not worth it

gusty mirage
#

this is really cool and I'm excited for more @main vessel and if there's anything I can provide to help out let me know 😄

lament warren
#

if it's still alive after you envenom

#

your raid sux

main vessel
#

I currently have it set to check if you're casting Envenom with 5s left in Rupture duration to help ensure people aren't letting Rupture drop; is 5s a good number there?

lament warren
#

no

#

rupture pandemic range scales based off of combo points

main vessel
#

It's not terribly easy to check how many CPs were spent on a specific Rupture

lament warren
#

so you might want to dynamically adjust based on the next rupture sent

#

couldn't you reuse the logic for the animacharged implementation?

main vessel
#

I can record every rupture cast

lament warren
#

since that has to track how many cp was sent

#

the pandemic is relative to the next rupture you cast

#

so you have to compare the cast rupture with the dot that was already up

main vessel
#

It has to track the number spent on a cast, not on how many were spent given a buff existing on the target

lament warren
#

hm

#

thatis hard

#

but

lament warren
#

you can track how many cp you spent on a cast

#

can you combine the logic?

main vessel
#

the only issue with relying on the rupture duration there is that I'd need to backtrack to the previous refreshbuff or applybuff event to get the duration off of that

lament warren
#

would you have to backtrack

#

couldn't you store it as a property on the npc id

upbeat hazel
#

thanks

lament warren
#

since you can only have one non-dm rupture on the target at any given time

main vessel
#

let me grab the snippet rq

shut owl
#

as long as you're rupturing with more than 3CP isn't your pandemic window always gonna be at least 5 seconds?

lament warren
#

yes

upbeat hazel
#

yeah i didnt sbs before the 1st rupture

#

because im bad

lament warren
#

you gain 4 seconds of rupture per combo point, min 8 seconds

#

so

subtle tundra
#

why is it not giving me the buy with gold option

lament warren
#

30% * 8 = 2.4
30% * 12 = 3.6
30% * 16 = 4.8
30% * 20 = 6
30% * 24 = 7.2
30% * 28 = 8.4
30% * 32 = 9.6 (animacharged)

#

i actually did something similar to this when i was tracking demonic appetite

subtle tundra
#

ok it worked

shut owl
#

soooo, as long as you're running more than 3cp on a rupture, your pandemic window is gonna be 5s or greater, from the standpoint of a placeholder for rotation assistance

thorn fjord
#

Optionn showed up when you clicked reactivate now? @subtle tundra

lament warren
#

well it's not "or greater"

#

it's or lesser

#

which is where you'd run into the problems

#

because on a 6 cp rupture 8 seconds is pandemic

#

but on a 3 second rupture 5s isn't even pandemic

subtle tundra
shut owl
#

am I wrong in reading that this is a tool to tell you to rupture rather than envenom when its getting close to re-upping bleed time?

lament warren
#

yes

chrome elk
#

yoooo no xang simmed better for me

lament warren
#

based

#

@main vessel you could store the duration of the last casted rupture on a target and then you could adjust your refresh parameter based on that?

chrome elk
#

im guessing you need 4pc for xang ?

main vessel
#
  private onCast(event: CastEvent) {
    let timeLeftOnRupture = 0;
    // target is optional in cast event, but we know Envenom cast will always have it
    if (event.targetID !== undefined && event.targetIsFriendly !== undefined) {
      timeLeftOnRupture = this.ruptureUptimeAndSnapshots.getTimeRemaining(
        event as TargettedEvent<any>,
      );
    }
    const acceptableTimeLeftOnRupture = timeLeftOnRupture >= MIN_ACCEPTABLE_TIME_LEFT_ON_RUPTURE_MS;
    // ...
  }

  // ...
  getTimeRemaining(event: TargettedEvent<any>): number {
    const uptimes = this.getUptimesForTarget(event);
    if (uptimes.length > 0) {
      const latestUptime = uptimes[uptimes.length - 1];
      return Math.max(0, latestUptime.expectedEnd - event.timestamp);
    } else {
      return 0;
    }
  }

this gets run whenever Envenom gets cast. I have a thing setup currently linking the cast and any applydebuff/refreshdebuff events that occur within 200ms of the cast, which lets me do things like "when this debuff was applied, how many CPs were spent to apply it". the issue that I'd need to solve here for "what's the pandemic window on this specific debuff application" is more or less "I'm casting Envenom on a target who has Rupture applied. I need to look up the applydebuff/refreshdebuff for Rupture that happened most recently on the target, then use that applydebuff/refreshdebuff to get the cast to get the CPs spent to calculate the pandemic duration"

#

I just need to store more info than I'm storing now

lament warren
#

yeah

#

you could store the duration based on combo points

#

which is p much just a switch

#

and since you will deal with animacharged combo points before you deal with this

#

it should kinda Just Work™️

main vessel
#

aye

#

I'm making notes of all of this to add to it, just need to do some other tweaks to WoWA first.

lament warren
#

for sure \:D/

#

feel free to ask anything else you'd want to know

#

ty for maintaining it ^-^

lament warren
thorn fjord
#

@main vessel doing Gods work

lament warren
#

but it's just 4 seconds per cp and 1.2 on the pandemic

royal lantern
lament warren
#

i did actually

#

yesterday was the one day i did take a shower

royal lantern
#

no you didnt when i watched you

thorn fjord
#

weird

lament warren
#

i'm able to move my body so fast that it can appear that i'm two places at once

vestal wren
lament warren
#

just to explain the mechanics

#

you can just do the math on total rupture duration

#

it's just holdover from teaching instincts stuff

vestal wren
#

its just duration x 0.3

lament warren
#

i'm overly verbose when i explain

#

bc sometimes there are people who do not always understand things in just one way

#

so I like to have multiple interpretations of the same information if it can be confusing in any way

vestal wren
#

haha

#

i had people ask for dynamic pandemic timers on rupture in weakauras

#

but i think thats a terrible idea

lament warren
#

it's way way way harder to do in real time

vestal wren
#

as you would not see when you are in pandemic when on low-ish cp

lament warren
#

have the benefit here of only comparing backwards

vestal wren
#

it is easy to make it dynamic in weakauras

#

but it makes no sense because you hide informaiton from yourself

lament warren
#

yeah

#

i agree

#

i think just always show mid-cp range

#

realistically you don't refresh immediately on pandemic anyway

#

you never refresh exsanged dots for ex

#

and sometimes

#

your rupture can be at 8 seconds

#

and you can be mid-shiv

#

and you can have 6cp

oak sky
lament warren
#

and you;'d rather just send that on an envenom

#

so actually

thorn fjord
#

i get lazy and refresh exsang rupture at like 3 seconds

vestal wren
thorn fjord
#

because i cant wait

lament warren
#

@main vesselthis thought experiment meant nothing

#

and 5 is probably actually just fine

#

😄

Heroic. So they don't live for very long, and our crew of DHs, paladin, and a hunter erase them so quickly.

thorn fjord

Yeah on HC theres no reason the sin rogue shouldnt be just staying on main platform

royal lantern
#

fuck him then lol

#

stay on platform and do boss

thorn fjord
#

Yeah bro stay on the boss

lament warren
#

5 is fine

#

you only need 2-3 globals to get 5-6cp rupture

toxic burrow
#

Big time. The only time I'd ever go up in the past is if several DPS of that group died.

lament warren
#

bc muti is 2 and seal fate

I've seen some things with how logs happen

lament warren

just make sure you remove the "Combo Point" CPM

you have the chance

chain smoking is your way out

I wish I could smoke pot on my lunch breaks

But I’m at a pharmacy so that would be a big no no

thorn wadi
#

Guys is the flaring cowl something to consider even if i dont intend on raiding so i will never have the rings?

thorn fjord
#

It’s still a dps increase over dagger emb

#

You can sim it though to see what the gains would be for you

royal lantern
#

cowl by itself is like, 0,1% behind weapon embelishments

#

soooo, grab it just for that juicy 418 ilvl head

i had doubts only cuz it forces shoudler tier with bad stats but the sim is running so ill know for sure soon

already have a 415 head from first week tho D:

is it normal that deathmark is so low

oak sky

Yeah

ornate valley
#

while heere its so high?

oak sky

Most of the value is from duplicating rupture and garrote

Which is displayed separate on details

teal bloom

It's just the dot, the poison and bleed duplications aren't included

in details

ornate valley
#

if I sim like 68k dps, what can I expect actually on raid like -20%? or I should actually make it close to 100%?

oak sky

Pretty close

#

Depends on raid buffs though

ornate valley

I have no chances to get PI

Is my wa broken, or do we only have 6 cp now? with DTB

Pi isnt a raid buff

PI isn't included in sim value. but things like windfury totem, monk/demon hunter debuffs, druid vers buff are

anyway

#

gear bad

#

you're puzzle boxing in the wrong place

#

your rupture and garrote uptime could be better

#

92% and 93% respectively

#

you have 7 casts of bone spike

#

but you can get 10 over the course of the fight

#

you can just start slamming them when the fight is going to end

#

you sent exsang on cd which is good

teal bloom
#

you have pretty bad weapon enchants that is probably like 1 to 2k dps decrease compared to sophic devotion

ornate valley
#

IM poor, I use sophic writ atm

I thoguht bone spike was only to be used to not over cap CP

you didn't save a shiv for your second deathmark

he's not playing light weight shiv but idk if there are shiv hold conditions for deathmark

also

you thistle tea when you have a lot of energy

royal lantern
#

im only interested in DN

lament warren
#

you wasted 59 energy on thistle pressing it here

#

which is more than half of its value

#

you used potion on your second deathmark

#

instead of your first with lust

#

at the very end you kinda held this blindside when you should have sent the ambush

just cloak 4Head

frigid pilot
flint tusk
#

i will say that is the most annoying mechanic.

ornate valley
#

yes Im reading it all

flint tusk
#

can feitn the initial hit but if you don't get healed you're dead regardless

lament warren
#

most of these mistakes are pretty small

#

except for the finishers

#

you always want to be spending at 5 or 6 combo points

#

to sum it up

ornate valley
#

box should go with exsang or deathmark?

lament warren
#

-- Use potion in the opener or with lust
-- Use Puzzle Box after you use Echoing Reprimand in the opener
-- Save a shiv for Deathmark
-- !! Only cast finishers at 5/6 CP
-- Don't Thistle Tea if you're going to waste energy (outside of the opener)
-- refresh Garrote and Rupture earlier, 92%/93% is about 4-5% below the mark

an extra tip:
because this encounter was 3:41, optimally you want to hold your second deathmark for 3 minutes to line up with Exsang and Puzzle Box, as well as it gaining some Zoldyck's value here

#

both

#

you always hold exsang and puzzle box for Deathmark

#

you're able to cast deathmark at

#

00:10, 02:10, 04:10, etc.

#

because the fight duration is 03:41

#

you don't lose a cast by moving where you press Deathmark

#

as long as you gain full value out of the Deathmark it doesn't matter where you press it

ornate valley
#

and one more question: should I renew dots before exsang or I can do it while they are fading off?

frigid pilot
#

HUH

thorn fjord
#

If done right they’ll be renewed before the exsang

lament warren
#

Exsang condenses your bleeds from the value they are at

#

so a 40 second bleed will be condensed to a 20 second bleed that ticks twice as fast

#

which means that you want to have your dots at their highest value before you use Exsang

#

at the 3 minute mark Exsang and Echoing Reprimand line up

#

because of this fight length you're able to Echoing Reprimand -> Puzzle Box -> Rupture -> Vanish -> Garrote -> Exsang -> Deathmark

#

for your second Deathmark

#

on a fight that lasts longer, though, they might not line up

#

which is when you're sending Exsang with Deathmark at 4 minutes

ornate valley
#

so I should not use deathmark right off cd and wait for it for exsang

lament warren
#

on this specific fight length yes

#

otherwise, you send Deathmark and you hold Exsang and Puzzle Box for them to overlap

thorn fjord
#

So in other words if the fight is lasting more than 6:10 min you line up er and exsang at 3m and then at 6 min you get the giga cd combo where everything will naturally line up again @ornate valley

lament warren
#

nope

#

if you are able to sync up exsang and deathmark again

#

you do it

#

which means it would be 4 mins and 7 mins

#

(4 then 8)

thorn fjord
#

You can send at 3m with er and pb tho and it’s still a gain

#

And it’ll still sync at 6

lament warren
#

probably actually

#

since you're just shifting casts

thorn fjord
#

Yeah that’s the min/max play but it’s all dependent on fight length so you really gotta know where it’s ending

lament warren
#

yeah

#

which is why I recommend

#

for heroic at least rn

#

just sending both at 4 mins

thorn fjord
#

Oh heroic you 100% hold for 4m

#

If you even get there

#

Most fights are like 3m ish for farm guilds and such

#

Only long fight in heroic where you can actually play it right would be raz since it’s a 9-10 min ish fight

ornate valley
#

so:
min 0: exs +DM
min 2: dm
min 4: exs + dm
min 6 dm
min 8 dm + exs

#

?

lament warren
#

yeah

#

or

thorn fjord
#

Nono

#

If you’re seeing 6–8 min

#

You send on cd

#

The exsang er pb combo

#

If you’re sub 5m you hold to the 4m mark

On a different note, I finally got my Grieftorch, the first one to drop in our main raid. Felt bad about the circumstances for getting it but I am enjoying it. Especially since it's seeing a lot of inflated use on H Raz prog (we're kind of messing up big time).

How much of a percentage push KB would need to match DTB anyway? Kinda weird the passive choice is better across the board.

5%~ ish?

the whole idea is to get rid of 3 point nodes

#

also that wouldn't even change anything

#

it would give us a new talent we wouldn't use

#

and that's it

weak horizon
#

Maybe we just need something better than AP then so we can route to AP and get a lot of what we lost before?

balmy condor
#

maybe, crazy idea

#

AP just needs a buff

#

the talent is fine

fickle nymph
#

make Scent of blood two points. then u can grab indiscriminate carnage and whichever capstone u want

weak horizon
#

How much of a buff would it need to go AP+ KB in ST?

misty holly
#

It would need to be stronger than Bonespike.

misty holly
#

in single target

balmy condor
#

uh

#

quick math in my head is saying it would need to go from 20% to maybe 150?

weak horizon
#

Well wasn't the idea to make kb worth taking again?

balmy condor
#

yeah but you need to buff KB

#

if they make AP 40% and then buff KB

#

GG playable

weak horizon
#

Would be nice

balmy condor
#

idk

#

the talent tree is fine

#

there's tuning issues

#

sure

#

So im supposed to use Exsang the GCD Before Deathmark right? So its Exsang -> Box -> Deathmark?

balmy condor
#

but trying to shoe-horn weird KB+DTB combos and shit back into it is just dumb

weak horizon
#

I'm giga happy to get ic + dtb so that's nice

vital reef
#

Then wait for the 4m setup with Exsang->box->DM again

balmy condor
#

yes

vital reef
#

Thanks!

shut thistle
#

Honestly with the bleed damage boost, I thought AP could even be good for ST. Kind of a bummer it is not. A playstyle of burst bleeds would be fun, to add smaller peaks to our DPS rather than big ones with Deathmark and Exsanguinate. Then, stack together for biggest burst.

DTB is nice but my hyperactive mind is bummed out the passive choice is the best one for dps. It should be the one convenient to use, a sacrifice to make things easier in fights.

lament warren

kingsbane is too many buttons

and i made the mistake of putting all of my buttons on t
