Ty

lament warren
#

that is true

#

however

#

if you don’t prepot, how will you get two potions during the encounter wesmart 2ez

grim jay
#

Its kurog and on heroic you go full ST or do whatever floats your boat. On M its better to not play sin

lament warren
#

sin is fine 2t :?

#

sin and outlaw 2t sim comparably

silver forum
grim jay
silver forum
#

my aoe as sub is like meh, single target is meh

lament warren
#

how aren’t they great

#

u get dm in intermission

#

just press the button

grim jay
grim jay
lament warren
#

which is fine

#

sin is fine on kurog

grim jay
#

Yeah its fine but still potentially better to not go sin

silver forum
lament warren
#

sub is also fine

silver forum
#

only 68 sub rogues

lament warren
#

its top end is higher than sin

#

for all logs

#

however

grim jay
#

Is there a noxxic guide on how to look at wcl? starege

lament warren
#

if you’re wiping to boss damage

#

sin can be the play

royal lantern
#

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 kekdog

silver forum
#

we are wiping to enrage

lament warren
#

then sin is fine

silver forum
#

that's what i'm thinking

#

we are very tight on dps sometimes, i wonder if my cleave is worth anything playing sub

lament warren
#

it probably is worth something

#

but sin can 2 target as well

silver forum
#

yeah i notice a lot of the fight is like junk aoe damage

lament warren
#

p3 is

#

anything that overkills the ad in p1/2 is pad

#

any damage to the ad at all in p3 is pad

grim jay
#

You should still work on your ability to look at wcl tho

silver forum
#

68 sub, 127 sin

lament warren
#

you are not being helpful

silver forum
#

i can count

grim jay
#

Parseamount doesnt matter for shit

#

In that case

#

So not sure what you are on about

silver forum
#

yea exactly but you continue to bug me about it

grim jay
#

Else you would just play outlaw

#

Because your statement is just wrong af

royal lantern
#

Chill

lament warren
#

sub is just unpopular, not exceptionally bad

grim jay
#

Yeah

lament warren
#

but if you’re specifically lacking p3 boss damage

#

first id look and see who’s padding

grim jay
#

Reading data wrong and spreading false information is pretty bad

lament warren
#

and then id consider switching specs

silver forum
royal lantern
grim jay
#

And you think looking at parsecount is valid for that

lament warren
#

he’s not wrong

#

sub is pretty weak at

#

the encounter

silver forum
#

i'd try out outlaw if i wasnt so bad at it lol

grim jay
lament warren
#

yes

grim jay
lament warren
#

overall top end

#

and sub has unavoidable pad

#

:?

grim jay
#

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 !

lament warren
#

bleeds only snapshot with haste

grim jay
#

Multiple people on progress even confirmed sin is the worse of the 3 there

lament warren
#

they are dynamic to other stats

#

i mean

#

this guy is very specifically talking about dying to enrage

lone agate
#

Oh Dynamic with mastery and agility, that makes sense

lament warren
#

that is a very specific problem we’re trying to solve

lament warren
#

a billion ppl have killed that boss and we overgear it heavily now

#

the spec you play actually no longer matters

lone agate
#

What do you mean 'snapshot' with haste ?

lament warren
#

so “on progress” is insanely relative

grim jay
#

You would have so much more to know about the actual tries they had to address the issue

lone agate
#

Can you tell me what haste do on bleeds ?

lament warren
#

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

lone agate
#

Pefectly clear
Haste -> static dot tick on apply
Agi/Mastery -> Dynamic on dmg per tick

lament warren
#

correct

#

more accurately it would be saying

#

haste -> maximum bleed tick count

balmy condor
#

haste is dynamic

lament warren
#

is it

balmy condor
#

exsang dots are not dynamic to haste

lament warren
#

i just copied what you said earlier

#

ah

balmy condor
#

it's only exsang

sturdy merlin
lament warren
#

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

grim jay
#

@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

lone agate
#

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

lament warren
#

correct

balmy condor
#

or, garrote rupture ex dm puzzlebox

#

how bout that

lament warren
#

i was wrong about haste snapshotting i misread an earlier conversation

lone agate
#

😮

#

Mindblown

balmy condor
#

I was doing it all raid tonight

#

actually 0 difference between all of them

grim jay
#

We have an opener part with a picture in #assassination-faq aswell tho, if you wanna have something visual while learning

balmy condor
#

just push puzzle box whenever it feel comfortable

#

as long as it's within a couple seconds of dm

#

it's fine

dark bridge
#

are we not supposed to puzzlebox prepull?

grim jay
balmy condor
#

who told you to do that

grim jay
silver forum
#

if you already cast DM, and then pop puzzlebox, does the DM and such get increased damage?

balmy condor
#

yes of course

#

again

dark bridge
#

I thought we were feelscryman

balmy condor
#

the only snapshot is tick rate of exsanguinated bleeds

lone agate
#

Yeah as everything is Dynamic (which i didn't know) any order IS fine realy

balmy condor
#

that is the only snapshot

#

ever

lament warren
#

ya i just misread

balmy condor
#

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

grim jay
#

The only bleed that snapshots else is your bleeding soul after you fuck up and exs your DM

lone agate
#

Noted ! Thanks for the great réactivity 💜

#

TC

sage fern
lament warren
#

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

ornate topaz
#

when do you vanish when you play without exsang ?

sage fern
#

ooh, so i want to maximize bleed length before exsang?

lament warren
#

correct

lament warren
grim jay
#

When garr is on pandemic ye

ornate topaz
ripe basin
#

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?

lament warren
#

:3c

lament warren
#

some people sync some people desync

ornate topaz
#

I usually wait those 15 secs for the vanish

#

cuz the next one synces

lament warren
#

it’s more sim dps to not sync generally but

#

i don’t think it matters at all

sage fern
#

Do we wait for exsang cd for dm+vanish usage? i guess not?

balmy condor
#

yes

ripe basin
#

its more damage i believe so yeah

balmy condor
#

you hold exsang for the 4 min dm/vanish usually

#

sometimes you'll want to send it at 3 and then sync at 6

lament warren
#

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

ripe basin
#

now lets see the 5 minute 30 version

lament warren
#

LMAO

#

sure

sage fern
#

thanks.
still, why did they give us a 2min and 3min cd <.<

lament warren
#

min 0: exs+dm
min 2: dm
min 4: exs+dm

#

it’s the same one !!

ripe basin
#

i see

lament warren
#

exsang used to be 45s

balmy condor
ornate topaz
#

they should have left it at 1 min & 100% 🤣

#

everyone but rogues would scream

lament warren
#

true and real

ornate topaz
#

and I am okay with that

silent breach
#

anyone tried assa in m+ and how does it feel?

lament warren
#

give me back 45s exsang

balmy condor
#

idk

#

it's a spec

#

you can play it

ornate topaz
tender kelp
ornate topaz
#

I was like this

balmy condor
#

you gonna ask a bunch of sin players how sin feels?

silent breach
#

true 😄

tender kelp
#

but idk what keys you do, im on 20s only

sage fern
#

if you prefer a slower gameplay than outlaw, it's fun

silent breach
#

yeah that's what im tinking about, im breaking my fingers from playing outlaw want to relax a bit

ornate topaz
sage fern
#

True.
A good plater profile helped me to keep tracking bleeds tho 🙂

lament warren
#

copium riddled sin rogue mains will tell you to just use a mouseover macro

sage fern
#

You can set all spells to be mouse over in the options now. Very helpful

narrow inlet
#

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)

balmy condor
#

no

narrow inlet
#

hm i got new enchants that should be that much dps tho right?

balmy condor
#

sophic is a lot of dps

narrow inlet
#

i got ring chest and legs

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

that adds up too

narrow inlet
#

but 5-10k?

balmy condor
#

how much did your sim go up

ornate topaz
#

I have a huge DPS increase as well

narrow inlet
#

from like 58.2k to 65

#

on assa

#

and 63 on sub

balmy condor
#

yeah idk

narrow inlet
#

aoe also went up (4 targets +10k)

balmy condor
#

gratz I guess

#

wish I would just find free damage like that

narrow inlet
#

low performer boost 😢

balmy condor
#

sims went up a little because of 10.0.5

#

but not after

narrow inlet
#

everything is broken

#

raidbots got errors raider io does

balmy condor
#

just ran a quick sim too of my character, looks aight

#

idk

sage fern
#

is it somehow still possible to post a log and ask for advice?

balmy condor
#

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

sage fern
#

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

balmy condor
#

I completely ignore ilvl parse

#

and then the overall you gotta interpret yourself

sage fern
#

i can live with 65%-percentile. But not with 11 lol

balmy condor
#

oh

#

wel

#

ilvl parses be like that

#

I parsed a 99 overall and it was a 35 ilevel

sturdy merlin
#

Can i use it on private logs ?

fleet imp
#

Just a bit sussy cuz I think vanish is potentially not working

sturdy merlin
#

Ah it doesn't work

fleet imp
#

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

ornate topaz
#

guys can anyone explain how to play with Pandemic correctly like to a complete mental ?

sturdy merlin
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

ornate topaz
#

picture I am the guy on the above gif

sturdy merlin
#

Any decent WA will glow when it is safe to cast garrote/rupture again on your target

ornate topaz
#

deos it take the damage of the old one or the new one ?

sturdy merlin
#

It's the same damage, exception made for improved garrotes

ornate topaz
#

where it behaves how?

sturdy merlin
#

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

ornate topaz
#

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?

sturdy merlin
#

I'd say it is safe to refresh in pandemic range

ornate topaz
#

ok

#

thank you sir!

nocturne herald

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.

slim hamlet
royal lantern
#

when you use exsang, you let garrote and rupture fall off and instantly re-apply whsn the timer reaches 0

vestal cliff
#

Yes i missed the timing there

royal lantern
#

just exsang your dm

vestal cliff
peak bobcat
royal lantern
#

me, everytime at the ~3min mark in a fight

#

either forget exsang

#

or exsang DM

vestal cliff
#

And we use vanish with DM for improved garrote?

royal lantern
#

im 100% convinced i never did that one right

sturdy merlin
#

You can either use it before exsang or during DM when the exsang'd garrote is running out

vestal cliff
#

But do we hold DM for second exsang or do we hold second exsang for third DM?

sturdy merlin
#

2nd exsang for 3rd dm

hot fulcrum
#

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

sturdy merlin
#

never hold dm unless you have very specific kill timers

# balmy condor dogshit metric

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

lament warren
#

because what if one guy has a 411 grieftorch and one guy has a 411 bottle of spiraling winds

flint tusk
#

Was just about to say
You could have amazing gear but shit daggers
same for tier set vs not

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?

how trash can their gear be if it’s 413?

Sin is Crit and Mast while Outlaw is Vers and crit

balmy condor

I guarantee you, you set an outlaw reroller with like 20% vers and no puzzle box

prisma cypress
#

idk it just seems like ilvl parse is the best we can really do

balmy condor
#

He will sim like 10% lower

#

Out of the gate

prisma cypress
#

certainly more than overall ranking

balmy condor
#

Overall parses are just a more robust metric

#

I’m sorry

#

You can argue whatever you want

#

But it’s simply incorrect

flint tusk
#

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

hardy dagger
#

The only reason i would look at ilvl parses is if im on a rat alt to see if im doing okayishpeeposhrug

prisma cypress
#

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?

ebon notch
#

Was not pretty

balmy condor
#

You’re comparing against every sin rogue on the planet with overall

prisma cypress
#

i know

balmy condor
#

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+

flint tusk
#

a 100 parse on ilvl could be a 2 overall

hidden crown
balmy condor
#

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

prisma cypress
#

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

prisma cypress
#

ilvl at least attempts to take gear into account, imperfect as it may be

delicate berry
flint tusk
#

that is literally the point of a parse OMEGAKEKW

marble hemlock
#

At the same time

#

Ilevel parses are the dumbest shit in existence

Why do you think we tell people to sim themselves

#

Instead of “equip the highest item level”

flint tusk
marble hemlock
#

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

How is it the best we can do

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

While overall has some shortcomings, and youve explained them, ilvl parses have like... 5x more shortcomings. And Whispyr explained them.

balmy condor

Do you not see how this leads to the conclusion you are incapable of accepting?

prisma cypress

you keep saying it without really explaining why they’re not subject to the same shortcomings

They are subject to different shortcomings

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'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.

my takes are too elitist

gn

marble hemlock

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.

We can go back to ilvl parse discussions then as well

so that we could watch rwf year round

you guys think i'm arguing when i've only been trying to understand where you're coming from

ebon notch

im from the uk

thorny pond
#

More parses is more data, ilvl skews, especially on the fringes

prisma cypress
#

if i ask questions, it's to clarify things and to overcome my own reservations

thorny pond
#

Less data means less meaningful results

marble hemlock
prisma cypress
#

instead of just taking someone's word for it because everyone thinks the same thing

#

i'm not trying to convince anyone of anything

in the end, a good rl will actually LOOK at logs

and not just parse number

number high make happy tho

lament warren
thorny pond
#

Need the dopamine from orange parse

lament warren
#

so there’s probably a better method

prisma cypress
#

except the guy fighting me there was actually wrong af and had no idea how pandemic even works

thorny pond
#

There’s also the search function where this conversation comes up weekly

marble hemlock
#

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.

prisma cypress
#

well, i guess you sure told me! Kappa

marble hemlock
#

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.

royal lantern
#

dont take it to hard, seli is just very direct sometimes(often, always)

prisma cypress
#

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

thorny pond
marble hemlock
#

No one here handwaved anything

royal lantern
marble hemlock
#

You were told, explicitly, why ilvl parses are bad.

thorny pond
marble hemlock
#

You just don't wanna accept it

lament warren
#

i think it’s

prisma cypress
#

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

marble hemlock
#

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.

balmy condor
lament warren
#

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

prisma cypress
#

i don't think you guys come across the way you think you do, but thanks for the advice OMEGAKEKW

because it can be both the most efficient for you but also very argumentative

lament warren

marble hemlock
#

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!

Yo Whispyr, do I spam envenom or CT on AoE?

You squeeze in an envenom

So you hit 2/3 ER finishers without 10amp stacks

balmy condor

Realistically though trying to play around pb is so yikes

Or better yet, not hitting 2 CP a single time in a 45sec ER window

Now I get to rerun all my math with ap/ic as well

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

marble hemlock
#

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

marble hemlock
#

And you said it doesnt start becoming a gain past 6+

#

So is it that surprising youre not really seeing a gain in Dslice?

balmy condor
#

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

gaunt basin
#

Whats the current "best" m+ build :3?

zealous bobcat
#

I am confused, so I don't want to envenom in 6+ targets and I just want to spam ct?

balmy condor
#

It just needs a sliding scale

#

And that’s a sliding scale that is like

limber lion
balmy condor
#

Humanly unplayable

#

Psure you envenom for the buff, but you dont spam it

balmy condor

Envenom for buff is fine

Aight makes sense, tnx, couse I was chasing those bombs

or is that not worth it?

gaunt basin
#

nvm

balmy condor
balmy condor
thorn crater
#

more chance? i dno

#

tbh it depends on how tank is pulling on what i do

balmy condor

It’s linear

marble hemlock
#

CT does more damage with empowered CP

thorn crater
#

if he slow pulls i dont see a point with spamming CT

Also, you're not hitting ER CP on AoE anyway unless you have super low crit or get "unlucky"

I've went entire aoe pulls and bossrooms without hitting 2/3

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

Having 2k more crit instead of haste isn't that big a ST loss. But playing AP you're just healing the boss
