that is true
however
if you don’t prepot, how will you get two potions during the encounter

Its kurog and on heroic you go full ST or do whatever floats your boat. On M its better to not play sin
well we hit hard enrage and are short 2.3%. i feel me swapping from sub , which is pretty bad dps would make a difference
CD timings arent great for sin
my aoe as sub is like meh, single target is meh
Then you are doing it wrong
You need to hold at some point
Yeah its fine but still potentially better to not go sin
no it is meh dude. i looked at warcraftlogs, sub is pretty weak
sub is also fine
only 68 sub rogues
Is there a noxxic guide on how to look at wcl? 
got a 99on mythic council, my gameplay there is: lmao i freestyle it
i keep rupture and garrote on 2guys and then do what i feel is right when ic is on cd 
we are wiping to enrage
then sin is fine
that's what i'm thinking
we are very tight on dps sometimes, i wonder if my cleave is worth anything playing sub
yeah i notice a lot of the fight is like junk aoe damage
p3 is
anything that overkills the ad in p1/2 is pad
any damage to the ad at all in p3 is pad
You should still work on your ability to look at wcl tho
68 sub, 127 sin
you are not being helpful
i can count
yea exactly but you continue to bug me about it
Chill
sub is just unpopular, not exceptionally bad
Yeah
but if you’re specifically lacking p3 boss damage
first id look and see who’s padding
Reading data wrong and spreading false information is pretty bad
and then id consider switching specs
so now i'm spreading lies?
tbh, its more like, rogue is unpopular and when people play rogue, its to FotM outlaw
Wrong
And you think looking at parsecount is valid for that
i'd try out outlaw if i wasnt so bad at it lol
Wild considering
yes
Thats a legit take tho
Top end on that Boss sub is higher aswell
Hello there !
I'm seeing a lot of rotation guides using PuzzleBox/Potions just before EX and DM.
But.. shouldn't we re-apply buffed poisons with PuzzleBox and potion buffs beforehands ?
Have a nice day !
no
bleeds only snapshot with haste
Multiple people on progress even confirmed sin is the worse of the 3 there
they are dynamic to other stats
i mean
this guy is very specifically talking about dying to enrage
Oh Dynamic with mastery and agility, that makes sense
that is a very specific problem we’re trying to solve
exactly
a billion ppl have killed that boss and we overgear it heavily now
the spec you play actually no longer matters
What do you mean 'snapshot' with haste ?
so “on progress” is insanely relative
You would have so much more to know about the actual tries they had to address the issue
Can you tell me what haste do on bleeds ?
snapshotting is a mechanic where when you apply a dot it “snapshots” your stats at the current time to determine how much damage the dot deals
this is how dots used to function
this is how bleeds currently function with haste, which is the stat that determines how many ticks a bleed will have
all dots are now dynamic to mainstat and every secondary, bleeds and haste are the exception
Pefectly clear
Haste -> static dot tick on apply
Agi/Mastery -> Dynamic on dmg per tick
haste is dynamic
is it
exsang dots are not dynamic to haste
it's only exsang

i figured but i read what you said and just overwrote
what i had stored
haste has to increase tickrate then
no other way to increase the amount of damage it does
@lone agate and if you wonder why you dont exsang after DM, its because you would cut the duplicate dots Part of DM short aswell
Nah, my question is more, should we :
1/ garrote rupture PuzzleBox EX DM
2/ PuzzleBox garrote rupture EX DM
I assume with these discussions it's just response 1
correct
i was wrong about haste snapshotting i misread an earlier conversation
We have an opener part with a picture in #assassination-faq aswell tho, if you wanna have something visual while learning
just push puzzle box whenever it feel comfortable
as long as it's within a couple seconds of dm
it's fine
are we not supposed to puzzlebox prepull?
Maybe you just didnt notice the 78 dps diff 
Never have been
if you already cast DM, and then pop puzzlebox, does the DM and such get increased damage?
I thought we were 
the only snapshot is tick rate of exsanguinated bleeds
Yeah as everything is Dynamic (which i didn't know) any order IS fine realy
ya i just misread
if you press exsang, those bleeds have a static tick rate
anything else
that you will ever encounter
on the entire spec
in any situation
is dynamic
The only bleed that snapshots else is your bleeding soul after you fuck up and exs your DM
Is there a reason why the ST opener heavily changes with/without Exang?
With Exang: double garrote and ER into BM
No Exang: garrote once and ER into Envenom
because exsang is the only thing that takes into account the duration of your bleeds
you can deathmark before putting bleeds up and still get two
that’s why without exsang you don’t vanish
until your first garrote is ending
when do you vanish when you play without exsang ?
ooh, so i want to maximize bleed length before exsang?
correct
as your initial garrote is falling off
When garr is on pandemic ye
good I got that right 😄
would you want to wait for vanish to be OFF CD when deathmark is off CD after 2 minutes to line them up or let it rip off cd the both of em?
:3c
up to you
some people sync some people desync
Do we wait for exsang cd for dm+vanish usage? i guess not?
yes
its more damage i believe so yeah
you hold exsang for the 4 min dm/vanish usually
sometimes you'll want to send it at 3 and then sync at 6
Fight length: 6:30
min 0: exs+DM
min 2: dm
min 3: exs
min 4: dm
min 6: exs+DM
Fight Length: 4:30
min 0: exs+DM
min 2: DM
min 4: exs+DM
Fight Length: 3:30
min 0: exs+DM
min 3: exs+DM
it is generally best practice to hold when you don’t know encounter length
thanks.
still, why did they give us a 2min and 3min cd <.<
i see
you had 1 2 and 3 with kingsbane
exsang used to be 45s
cause exsanguinate would've been too strong at 2 minutes, and the alternative would've been making it 4 minutes, which the community would have actually screamed over
true and real
and I am okay with that
anyone tried assa in m+ and how does it feel?
give me back 45s exsang
it feels like assassination in m+
idk
it's a spec
you can play it
I tried council with the new Shiv talent yesterday and the opening marks were so fked up by my melee teammates that I ended up with 100k DPS
its fine
you gonna ask a bunch of sin players how sin feels?
true 😄
but idk what keys you do, im on 20s only
if you prefer a slower gameplay than outlaw, it's fun
yeah that's what im tinking about, im breaking my fingers from playing outlaw want to relax a bit
it is slower but you have to switch targets a lot which is something you dont need to do with Outlaw 😄
True.
A good plater profile helped me to keep tracking bleeds tho 🙂
copium riddled sin rogue mains will tell you to just use a mouseover macro
You can set all spells to be mouse over in the options now. Very helpful
I am old and slow. I changed ONE BIND yesterday and was suffering from it for the whole day.
lmao
He's ignoring me 😦
bro idk
I didn't ask for it
they out here sabotaging my logs
we got 2 healing priests
I'm catching strays
Tainted
Paladin gave me blessing of winter on Wednesday and it shows up as a buff in logs
The healing increase one
Exsang question: You don't reapply onto Exsang bleeds during pandemic, right? Just like you do with IG?
LMAO
correct
did rogue get buffed after 10.0.5? i logged in today and just did 5-10k dps more on every boss
my sim also went up by alot (didnt get any new gear)
no
hm i got new enchants that should be that much dps tho right?
sophic is a lot of dps
i got ring chest and legs
but 5-10k?
how much did your sim go up
I have a huge DPS increase as well
yeah idk
aoe also went up (4 targets +10k)
low performer boost 😢
raider.io works fine to me
just ran a quick sim too of my character, looks aight
idk
the site in general works it wont load my character tho
give me internal server error
gotta try again later
unlucky
might be just busy or browser issues
Busy bcs of all the 13% ST increase warrior sims
Why are my talents reset today? Did they hotfix something yesterday? Dont see anything about rogue in hotfix
they fixed the movespeed reduction talent, you weren’t able to talent out of it previously
!logs
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
is it somehow still possible to post a log and ask for advice?

we had way too many log reviews to do
and not enough people to do them
lot of people want to be told what they're doing wrong
not a lot of people willing to give up their own time to do that
Maybe a more general question: After switching back to sin, I parsed 65% for all rogues and 11% for my ilvl on a boss. I might not have played perfectly, but I think I used CD's correctly and maintained bleeds.
Am I really that far away? How to you interpret the parse numbers
i can live with 65%-percentile. But not with 11 lol
oh
wel
ilvl parses be like that
I parsed a 99 overall and it was a 35 ilevel
dogshit metric
probably used normal garrote over an empowered one
I used vanish first tho 
What is this feature ?
probably not even up to date
up to date wowanalyzer ?

That report is not bad at all
Can i use it on private logs ?
Just a bit sussy cuz I think vanish is potentially not working
Ah it doesn't work
If we have normal garrote and vanish garrot, the full duration should be improved garrote
And the analyzer read it correctly on the second one but not on the first improved cast
Either broke or you kinda need to delay the gar after vanishing a bit
what am i doing wrong
except playing wow
pay me to tell you what youre doing wrong
I’ll make a pin no one will read
$5 for a log review
guys can anyone explain how to play with Pandemic correctly like to a complete mental ?
!pandemic
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
picture I am the guy on the above gif
Any decent WA will glow when it is safe to cast garrote/rupture again on your target
deos it take the damage of the old one or the new one ?
It's the same damage, exception made for improved garrotes
where it behaves how?
well your improved garrote deals more damage than a classic one so you want your improved garr to last for the full duration
refresh it when the dot is about to run out, do not refresh it in pandemic range
goodi
goodie*
and in the opener when I go from improved garrote into another improved garrote should I wait for it to end or just use it within the 30% duration window?
I'd say it is safe to refresh in pandemic range
I'm kinda surprised to see when making a combat OS for multi there's less buttons that assassination, what even
Wowanalyzer Support
Thanks to @main vessel, we have initial support for Assassination. There are some quirks and oddities that will need some fixes I’ll outline below. I know a lot of you have been skeptical about wowanalyzer, since it has never has a good module for Assassination, but hear me out :P
I want my log reviewed by a human!
Sorry, but asking for a log review is very easy, actually reviewing it isn’t. At some point there are just more people asking for log reviews that we can handle. The future of log reviews is in automated reviews, and wowanalyzer is the first and strongest step towards that.
Okay, what’s weird about it right now?
There’s some needed features, and some currently existing bugs.
All the major bugs have been squished now, looking into more things.
Feature wise shiv and thistle tea need some love, as well as some more detailed exsang/deathmark/vanish data. Also the cooldowns tab is just empty.
Why NOW?
With dragonflight, we saw a large shakeup to the talent tree, sizeable changes to assassinations rotation, and a huge influx of people asking for log reviews due to underperformance. As a temporary measure, we used !log to try and help people. This however was never meant to last, because as the command gained popularity, it quickly outscaled our capabilities. @spice spire can only do so much. We’re humans too. On top of that, if automated log reviews are to be trusted and used, grow and blossom, then they need a community behind it to make that possible. If we ignore it, it will never improve.
Sorry for the long post, but hopefully that explains it all.
Yes you’re right
so no more asking for log reviews?
Correct

machines replace our tc
ask chatgpt
rip xD just when i was about to ask ^^ oh well (i get it though)
tbh, same, just wanted to ask them today to go over my terros log 
oh well, w/e
just gotta git gut
U can get log reviews? I didnt know this was a thing lol so on where can i get my review from a bot?
Paste your wclogs report here https://wowanalyzer.com/
Thanks!
Holy the info u can get from that is insane
Really good stuff
its not the same without snarky whisp comments 
Can someone explain me what that means?
you used exsang and didnt let the exsanged rupture run out
Haha yeah i think whisp review is better
Aaah thanks!
ofc human review is better
when you use exsang, you let garrote and rupture fall off and instantly re-apply whsn the timer reaches 0
Yes i missed the timing there


And we use vanish with DM for improved garrote?
im 100% convinced i never did that one right
You can either use it before exsang or during DM when the exsang'd garrote is running out
But do we hold DM for second exsang or do we hold second exsang for third DM?
2nd exsang for 3rd dm
Is here anyone who use improved poisons 2nd point instead of exsang? Sim said it's just 600dps gain with exsang which is really poor and brings more strict rotation with "snapshots" for bleeds
never hold dm unless you have very specific kill timers
Based thanks
^
Plenty of people
any recommended sin twitch streamers?
Do u guys have problems getting into keys? I have 1850 score ilvl 403 and wanted to do a 15 yesterday but i get declined everytime
I tried for an hour but nothing
Pug m+ is a world of its own. There are so many dps; grps just cherry pick. Its normal getting denied to keys you completed before or even have higher score.
Yeah true everyone plays dps
That wowanalyzer is a Pog as fuck announcement
M+ community is toxic af they can be 1500 IO LISTING A +14 and expecting 2500+ Jo 412 only to signup. Impossible to get into keys on alts
Yeh i've given up trying to pug m+ it's so hostile it's pathetic
how people get elitist over a 16 is shocking
Question: with the M+ DTB+IC build now having poison bomb, is it better to envenom on 6+ targets or still better to spam CT?
to envenom when you have CT up that is
Yesterday i had a tank in a COS + 13 who died one time because he pulled the whole dungeon and then left
yeh i've had that with a full guild group except tank.
the tank didn't say a single word just done a massive pull in vault no less.
like bro it's not your key you're burning!
thankfully we still timed it after him wiping us twice on the first floor. but man
I’ve got 415 Puzzle, 411 Grieftorch and 421 Whispering icon. What do I use for dungeons and ST?
been there done that
would you mind explaining what’s wrong with log parse ranking by ilvl? i always figured that was the best way we have to assess one’s performance, since it accounts for gear as much as is feasible
because what if one guy has a 411 grieftorch and one guy has a 411 bottle of spiraling winds
Was just about to say
You could have amazing gear but shit daggers
same for tier set vs not
my view is it's an OK way but not really great at all as can give a ton of false flags
You’re 400 ilvl, im 400 ilvl.
- But you have a 398 dagger, and I have a 418
- But you have 2 piece, and I have 4
- But I have eranog ring and you don’t
- But our bracket only has 30 people in it
- But I have a puzzle box and you don’t
- But my skill far exceeds some average shitter with 400 ilvl it’s not a fair comparison to put me up against LFR raiders
Bullet points and everything D:
Don’t be a shitter coping on ilevel parses cause you’re dogshit compared to everyone
Get good
A great example is the hunter bow from razi
IT sims way higher even with the LFR version due to the proc than the mythic crossbow from eranog
SHEEEEEEEEEEESH
So based
i realize it’s not perfect but past a certain point you can kind of assume people have 4pc and decent stuff, right? and sample size is only an issue at the extreme high and low ends
Whisp got that true Sin Rizz

You actually can’t
ilvl isn’t everything but it’s the best we’ve got
I'm one of the elite. i got a 99 parse on heroic razi last night.
Totally doesn't matter that it was for healing 
James in assa. Truly the darkest timeline
How many outlaw rerollers will play Assassination on diurna for boss damage
And have trash stats
Trash daggers
Trash trinkets
And you’re both 413
Then what
Is that a fair comparison?
lmao outlaw having 9%vers
how trash can their gear be if it’s 413?
Very
^^
stats
Sin is Crit and Mast while Outlaw is Vers and crit
I guarantee you, you set an outlaw reroller with like 20% vers and no puzzle box
idk it just seems like ilvl parse is the best we can really do
certainly more than overall ranking
it really isnt
That’s just incorrect
Overall parses are just a more robust metric
I’m sorry
You can argue whatever you want
But it’s simply incorrect
if the power line for gear was linear 100% it can be used.
but wow's gear just doesn't work like that
1 item increases damage by 4% another 0.1%
for the same ilvl jump
The only reason i would look at ilvl parses is if im on a rat alt to see if im doing okayish
i’m open to your take on this, just curious how you came to that conclusion. doesn’t overall ranking have even bigger issues with gear disparities and cheesing?
It gets diluted by the total
You’re comparing against every sin rogue on the planet with overall
i know
The good the bad the poorly statted but high ilevel, the well statted but low ilevel
It washes out
My god storm eaters boon slaps hard in m+
a 100 parse on ilvl could be a 2 overall
now I feel bad for not taking that trinket
You can’t just move all the issues you have with overall parses into a smaller sample size and claim that’s better
That ain’t how stats work
but it doesn’t account for gear whatsoever, so a mediocre player with amazing gear could parse the same as a great player with poor gear
Good
That’s the point
ilvl at least attempts to take gear into account, imperfect as it may be
I doubted it but decided to take it since no one needed it
that is literally the point of a parse 
He didn't came to the conclusion. Basically everybody did.
At the same time
Ilevel parses are the dumbest shit in existence
Why should it? Item level is an awful representation of damage output at any level
Why do you think we tell people to sim themselves
Instead of “equip the highest item level”

Unequip ring, lose 15 ilvl, parse 100 ilvl.
it’s the best we can do, short of comparing every log against their personal sim results
You can not repeat this line
You keep saying that
When you've been told, repeatedly, why it's wrong
Is it your mantra or?
if you say so
How many times we have to teach this lesson old man
Everybody says so
When a 402 ring outsims a 421 ring, a 402 trinket outsims majority of 421 trinkets, 380ilvl 4pc outsims full 421 non-4p
ok
It just
You literally the only mfer I know that advocates for ilvl parses
Like
Ye
Don’t waste my time on dumb shit
i did
Whispyr just gave you like 5 different reasons
whatever
Why its stupid
whatever indeed 
You didn't give an argument, you gave a phrase with no evidence to back it up
If you can’t understand why you’re the only person on the planet who thinks ilvl parses are good, then I can’t help you
Please dont
please don't
Again like you explained now
please no
fuck
hey
rip
youre not allowed to talk now
and i never said they were good, i said they were better than overall
THey are not
and its not
ok
we said like 10 times TwT
While overall has some shortcomings, and youve explained them, ilvl parses have like... 5x more shortcomings. And Whispyr explained them.
I said “thinks they’re good” as a way out, you didn’t have to dig your hole deeper
Do you not see how this leads to the conclusion you are incapable of accepting?
you keep saying it without really explaining why they’re not subject to the same shortcomings
S l e e p
wtf am i reading
maybe he doesnt understand
Maybe he doesn’t know how to read
Just because you disagree does not mean he did not explain himself
Or he was born blind
i guess i don’t
Don't conflate the two
not a true gamer
From above: You can’t just move all the issues you have with overall parses into a smaller sample size and claim that’s better
i could say the same thing lol
I'm 416 ilvl. I can unequip a single ring, lose ~2k dps, and demolish every ilvl 400 parse, which is what I end up with when unequipping said ring.
That sounds like an explanation I reckon
You could but it would be wrong
You could, and you could be wrong again

Jinx
do it
I mean people have been doing this on occasion
Real gamers are starved of vitamin D and malnourished
Just to prove how dumb ilvl parses are
I don't even know why theyre still a thing
D stands for dick 
Con your way onto a raid team by cherry picking stats for your app
He's a #5
For half the classes theres not even enough logs at their ilvl for the number tomean anything
People need their ego boost
no raid team accepts ilvl parses
Dw @balmy condor gets enough dick for all of us
Bet
is that true
LUL
The problem with ilvl parses
share
The guy right there just advocated for them. There are some dumb mf raid leads too
Is that the lower ilvl below max you are, the more garbage they become. So the only level where ilvl parses mean "something" is at the top-end. At which point they will be the same as overall parses.
is that they are still not removed?
They just like me on god
Any time my friend gears a new alt he says "check ilvl parses" and I yell at him
I swear people with dog pfp and they are not worgen rogues confuse me
????
You just like you on god
Brother I just love my dog
If we just keep filtering our parse, we’ll be the best at something. I’m the best 414 Assassination rogue from california if you remove all of southern california and any rogue that raids Friday and only in healing on normal kurog in the last 3 days
@spice spire 
Doubt it. You suck.
very wholesome
yes, sucks you
now play worgen
😳
You are the best 414 Assassination Rogue that 4-healed Kurog though.
We 5 healed
N 
Rip
Yeah but you didnt for like 100 pulls
Sorry can’t, gm of horde guild. Unlucky
smartest raid leader na
Yeh we didn’t get out of earth phase
But I bet your ilvl parse looked good
They looked great

Wipe parses
We need boss damage “move off adds”
Adds kill tank “move back to adds, just a little”
they were in the hyperbolic time chamber

the moment they added a 5th healer the boss shit himself and died
I’m gonna link all my 100 wipe parses
Wipe parses are about as useful as ilvl parses
No man
Actually I think they’re the best we have
but camp racial is op

Ye, BL on pull, wipe after 20 seconds, have 100parse.
How else will you know how good you’re doing 2:30 minutes into a 9 minute fight seli
oh god
Ye I’ll send you a picture of my balls
go
Didn't know you had access to the hubble space telescope
well this is how i learn that oxi doesnt shave
wtf brother
Is this a manscaped ad?
shave your bush
oxi is waxing his balls, 100%
Take that as you will
bro u rly gotta pee or what
Shaving is 
Tiny pp 
religion sus these days
Actually no, it’s encouraged
SMH
how shaved balls look like
It’s only haram when it’s the moustache only?
Not my flavor
do i go for the ned flanders stache when i shave the progress beard
You see a mfer without a mustache, run
I saw a tiktok where a guy was trying to convince me that chess is haram because one of the pieces is a horse and horses should be idolized and being on a chess board is not idolizing it so therefore you go to hell

watching tiktok 
Man cause you’re not friends with me on tiktok
Whispyr doesn’t sleep
What else is there to do?
Mad*
I physically can’t this cough is keeping me up
Zoomer chat 
You see someone about that yet?
Tf am I reading
Oxi OF when?
Assa reading time during gym is so weird
go doctor
Like was this video unironic? Because what the fuck?
buut like in canada

we were talking about ilvl parses but now its oxi's balls
cause too expensive
Yeh, pneumonia last month, got better, now just a regular ass cold but weakened immune system
So
Both are small and irrelevant
We just suffer
As god intended
Here comes the pseudo science. Feel better brother
True
Yeah add a pinch of battery acid into your tea, it’ll dissolve your throat which will open up your airways
Ouch my esophagus
Just drink a gallon of OJ and put Vicks on your chest idk
Colds suck
my gf sick too, i’m sorry whispyr :((
you been coughing in everyone's mouth huh
???
Yeh pretty much
if they ask nicely
I’m not a doctor but @spice spire is
My gf is Mexican and she’s got like 35 home remedies for everything
She said she’s bringing me a box

oh god
I’m not a fucking doctor 
A BOX BRO
They have the cure to cancer but nobody listening
WHOLE ASS BOX
now i cant type without sounding racist
its that latino temperament
Wtf you need a box for
oh is whispyr sick?

WHATS IN THE BOX?
Most average eu gamer
its ok im mixed race
Awful
i physically cannot be racist
Why is Quake renaming again
why
Almost constantly in the last 3 months it seems
Idk it's just so scripted
Idk why do you have no bitches?
get well soon!
Tyty
thats how long Sin was nerfed
I like random things happening
lmao
Cause your mom is a classy lady and doesn't qualify.
(I’ve also been this since like Monday)
like when your healer "randomly" gets tapped by 4 sparks?
(W)holesome
It's intense half way through
Where’s mine
Just mass dispel?
im aswell
Shows how little attention I pay to your exploits
when the sparks spawn they do dam
One heal?
Well I mean more random mechanics, things happening to me so I can actually not play like a robot
Cause it's literally so fucking boring
The other healers?
It's autopilot mode
busy getting tapped by sparks
One heal?
now you see the root of the problem
get healers for the healers
Wait for nerfs
p3 is when the chaos begins
The only time I die is when I greed a shadow dance during pushbacks and don't get my vanish ss
wait what
But that's intentional so it keeps me going
play vulpera and take ~5% less dmg from each spark cus nose for trouble works on them
Sure but that doesn’t make sense for the punchline of the joke
They actually changed their entire strat expecting there to not be any nerfs. And then the nerf came and they onetapped it 
Yeah but
Ya know
i think it would be better if the bosses were literally unkillable
We can go back to ilvl parse discussions then as well
so that we could watch rwf year round
For the sake of the punchline
this comes close to making intuitive sense, though the more i think about it, the more it seems like the argument should be that both ilvl and overall are equally useless
That implies they’re funny
Is this man still fuming?
oooh we backkk
Let him cook
Not equally. But yes, parses in general don't really say a lot about an individual players performance.
But Ilvl parse is infinitely worse than regular ones
Imagine the complete meltdow of liquid and echo on prenerf halondrus
He’s almost there
he's lost in the sauce bro
you guys think i'm arguing when i've only been trying to understand where you're coming from
im from the uk
More parses is more data, ilvl skews, especially on the fringes
if i ask questions, it's to clarify things and to overcome my own reservations
Less data means less meaningful results
That tends to happen when you ask the same question 7 times and use the same line to try to convince us otherwise 14 times.
instead of just taking someone's word for it because everyone thinks the same thing
i'm not trying to convince anyone of anything
parses are SOMEWHAT overvalued overall, yes
like, just because somone is orange in all fights, doesnt mean he is a perfect raider, he can pull good numbers, but what about the guy that volunteers to do mechanics and gets a worse parse cus of it? is he a worse raider?
in the end, a good rl will actually LOOK at logs
and not just parse number
number high make happy tho
ya i’ve learned that when you do this people think you’re trying to ego them and then you get like 12 ppl calling you stupid
Need the dopamine from orange parse
so there’s probably a better method
exactly, the same shit happened the other night in the sub channel when i asked about overwriting finality-empowered rupture
except the guy fighting me there was actually wrong af and had no idea how pandemic even works
There’s also the search function where this conversation comes up weekly
If you don't understand where we're coming from, then maybe you struggle at seeing things from other peoples perspectives. This applies in multiple ways actually.
Not only did you fail to understand why ilvl parses are bad, despite Whispyr spelling it out for you very clearly, multiple times, but you also failed to realize that you're not the first (and won't be the last) guy to come in here thinking he has a great idea nobody had before and that we're all just blindly following some mantra that nobody has proven yet. When people who are CFs or Mods here tell you something, it's not out of some misguided sheeple behavior, it's because the topic has been discussed and researched for as long as logs existed and the conclusion is that ilvl parses are dogshit and useless.
well, i guess you sure told me! 
You've now been given like 8 different reasons why that is the case. You can obviously still go "yeah but, uhm, thats like, your opinion man, I have mine", but you can do so someplace else.
dont take it to hard, seli is just very direct sometimes(often, always)
not the first time someone hand-waves instead of actually explaining something adequately and then blames me for asking follow-up questions, and i'm sure it won't be the last around here
Seli is just tired of half thought out takes from people who value online IQ tests
No one here handwaved anything
sounds like he is insecure that his IQ test is lower than my

You were told, explicitly, why ilvl parses are bad.
My blue parse is higher than my online IQ test
You just don't wanna accept it
i think it’s
i'm just making sure i understand it, that's all
don't take it personally if i ask for clarification
or try poking holes in something to make sure it holds up
So do yourself, and us, a favor and stop annoying the people who spend their time volunteering to provide information and try to help educate the uninformed. There's nothing wrong with being uninformed. Most of the people who come here are. I am in a great many things. But stop going "Nuh-uhhhh" after you've been told repeatedly why youre wrong.
You see, I would have any amount sympathy for you, had you not blasted past the numerous well-intended counter arguments I gave with “it’s the best we have”.
If you getting clowned on is a regular occurrence, the common denominator at the end of the day is you. Maybe work on that
i think people just don’t have a great way of handling the way you are best at learning @prisma cypress
it may be worth investing in an alternative method
i don't think you guys come across the way you think you do, but thanks for the advice 
because it can be both the most efficient for you but also very argumentative
"instead of actually explaining something adequately" but that's what we've done multiple times now but you refuse to accept the fact that you're in the wrong here. Idk what your problem is.
Comparing against 200k players is infinitely better than comparing against 3 other players.
I just started playing assa rogue again. Do I take deadly+Amplifying or instant+ampli?
deadly
Never instant
Dead amp
Once again, the common denominator would be you in this case. Does everybody here come across hostile and impolite? Are you the only one feeling this way? If so, maybe you're the one parsing low on the social empathy logs, not us.
okay, thanks!
hey, i understand your take better now since you bothered to explain it, Sel
i love #assassination

Mind you, multiple times as well
So basically, assa rogue is better now.
Define better?
Better ilvl?
Can someone answer this?
idk
on dps I guess
keep envenom buff up
Likely better to maintain CT and Envenom to dump cp honestly.
wait rly

@balmy condor probably has the most up to date numbers there
i thought pb wasnt worth playing around
Let's implement sims into parses so now you can parse against your own sim
Yo Whispyr, do I spam envenom or CT on AoE?
We did and you were in the wrong there.
But yeah alright
Yeh aight CT spamming isn’t exactly cast CT with less than 10 seconds
You squeeze in an envenom
Cool
So after the ilvl parse discussion... is there like a form I can fill out to be reimbursed on the brain cells I lost? or am i on my own?
Also on council you don't even play PB
I got you Roujin
which was part of his question just now
Oh I don't care about Council. No one does.
Just wondering about m+
I'll probably just Envenom cuz prio but like
Yeah
Yeh but my sims assumed pb cause that’s what I ran
There you go then
What
Spam CT then I guess
Yeh on 6+
Yep
Okay
Respec to sub
Good talk
In heavy aoe? Yes
Pb kinda garbo
build diversity
I've said for months, legion PB please

dopamine from pb is unrivaled tho
that is true
Imagine a talent wich made your next finisher proc a gigabomb
even when i play the game muted a pb proc feels like crack
Although I have seen some merit to cycling an envenom sometimes when a mob hits 10 stacks of amp
Which is
do you still play DM on a council like fight?
Ya know
love htting an envenom and seein all that vomit on the floor and the numbers
On demand assa a9eburst
Yeah thats what I was thinking
yes
I'm actually getting major frustrated
When you hit all the ER CP in a row but havent stacked up amp enough
Realistically though trying to play around pb is so yikes
Like even in sims it’s a complete clusterfuck trying to balance all of them
Kb is omega deadge on razzy now right?
Throw the knives
Yes
Now I get to rerun all my math with ap/ic as well
Real fun
I had like 1.5% on 4-10 target getting it to CT more
And then I put the logic into dslice
And it didn’t do shit
Love that
I mean
Isnt that just cuz
Dslice rarely has more than 4mobs
Maybe like
20% of the simlength, at most
Bout 25% of the time
holy shit that was a fun read yall ty
And you said it doesnt start becoming a gain past 6+
So is it that surprising youre not really seeing a gain in Dslice?
Yeh but the current logic is already preferring to envenom over a CT a lot of the time
Is the thing
The gains aren’t just for 6
Whats the current "best" m+ build :3?
I am confused, so I don't want to envenom in 6+ targets and I just want to spam ct?
dtb ic, read faq
Humanly unplayable
Psure you envenom for the buff, but you dont spam it
is it updated for 10.5?
Aight makes sense, tnx, couse I was chasing those bombs
haha
isnt it better to fish for the PBs with the empowered CPs?
or is that not worth it?
nvm
Everything is updated for 10.0.5. Wowhead, method, icyveins, faq
Why would it be?
It’s linear
CT does more damage with empowered CP
if he slow pulls i dont see a point with spamming CT
what was the command for the defensives spreadsheet
Also, you're not hitting ER CP on AoE anyway unless you have super low crit or get "unlucky"
You can hit 2/3 pretty comfortably tbh
4 isn’t that uncommon
Maybe not tree boss academy
I sometimes just mutilate for it
Think you don't have enough crit sir
Probably fine
on 4 targets i think it happens quite often tbh
How much crit do I even need
I have the crit that sims highest for me
Idk how much that is
L
cmon man.. lol
Do you still have like 48% with buzzing
that is why i give you advice on trying to avoid it
That’s the real L
45-50, yeah
Bruh
Sims highest for me on pure AoE so
How many targets is pure aoe
Weirdge
What about haste, do I want 10% haste or do I just get crit/mastery everywhere
You sim
our set pieces seem to have a lot of verse on them
yep
I just don't give a fuck about boss dps optimizations when doing M+, and for AoE crit is sitll the bees knees for me, idk.
doesn’t play ap/ic
It’s more aoe though seli 
that’s what you would play if you didn’t care at all about boss damage
Losing 2k on boss but gaining 20k on AoE? Yay. Gaining 5k on AoE but losing 10k on ST? Yeah no thanks
not caring about optimizations is not the same as hitting bosses with zahnstoch
dunno doesn’t seem to add up with your ethos
Having 2k more crit instead of haste isn't that big a ST loss. But playing AP you're just healing the boss
remove outlaw and make a rogue spec where you heal by shiving allies
this is how this conversation went:
whispyr: i got a high overall parse and low ilvl parse, ilvl parses are useless
me: can you explain why ilvl parses are useless? i thought they'd at least tell us more than overall
whispyr: ilvl is a poor metric for actual gear quality
me: isn't that still better than ignoring gear entirely?
everyone: HE ALREADY TOLD YOU 10 TIMES IDIOT

ok i'm done
carry on
Damn sorry that happened I guess
🤷
it's the condensed version
its cute u think it was 15 minutes 😛
So you gonna start gaslighting now because you're incapable of accepting that you're wrong?
i tried to make your argument more succinct but feel free to correct me if i misunderstood something
bro just go take a nap or smth
this dude trollin
ur clearly bored out of your mind
Y'all just playing ST DTB on Grimtotem?
ye
i bet you looked up the word succinct
succ
By making is more succinct you cut out like 5 arguments I made and the 3 times I repeated all of them
But that’s okay
You’re right man
Thanks for coming
