venom rush is like a 1% decrease, you can still take it if you want

acoustic geyser
#

I might if I find I'm getting mad annoyed with energy starvation

gusty mirage
#

if your definition of viable is "I'll still do pretty good damage"

#

then yes

#

dropping exsang is viable

#

if you want to do the most amount of damage possible? It's non-negotiable

next edge
#

Outlaw is SO dead

#

that it has 30k more HC parses

#

than sub and sin combined

gusty mirage
#

it's not insanely higher where you'd be crazy to not play it, but it's a big enough gap where you should play it always

next edge
#

but OUTLAW IS DEAD

#

like EVERYONE is playing sub now

gusty mirage
#

good

#

better there than here

main vessel
#

let's goooooo

past bobcat
royal lantern
#

its a sing how much blizzard HATES OUTLAW(m+ meta for over 6 years at this point)

next edge
#

while 3k subs SMASHED the CONTENT

#

while 6k HEROES had to SUFFER playing a DEAD SPEC, defying blizzard the spec-killer

royal lantern
#

what is more played at this point btw, assa or sub?

balmy condor
#

sub is least played rogue spec still

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

in m+ it might be closer

royal lantern
#

what, ONLY ARCANE IS A TOP SPEC????????

#

wtf blizzard HATES mage, i cant combust to top dps for the first time in 7years?????

#

i need to play another spec?

proper tapir
#

What happened to OL? My guild's OL is going sub in M+ too, they get nerfed?

next edge
#

exact same numbers

gloomy knoll
#

Has bfa to now really been 6 years

next edge
#

today 3,2k sin and 3,1k subs

#

on mythic parses

#

and on HC

#

its like Sin a bit ahead

#

but rly close

gloomy knoll
#

Gonna go feel old now dead

balmy condor
next edge
#

Sin and Sub have same players

#

on Raid

#

at least public aprses

balmy condor
#

really?

#

that's interesting

#

in heroic?

next edge
#

I just checked today

#

Mythic was

#

3,2k sin 3,1k sub

balmy condor
#

oh

#

mythic is always closer yeah

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

I think in heroic though sin should clearly be ahead

next edge
#

In HC is 32k sin and 25k sub

#

yeah, it is

royal lantern
#

like, its hilarious

balmy condor
#

yeh okay makes sense

royal lantern
#

outlaw was supposed to get a nerf and got a very minor buff

assa was supposed to get a neutral change and lost 50%of its build options

wary ether
#

the nerf was huge, so huge that i dont notice it while playing anymore

#

after an entire day

balmy condor
#

but the FLOW

next edge
#

What do you mean?

#

I die 5% more

#

as outlaw

balmy condor
next edge
#

because I have 5% stamina

#

wtf

wary ether
#

no i die 35% less because im in killing spree all day

#

silly you

next edge
#

Flow is staring at boss for3 sec waiting the energy to regain while bleeds pump

royal lantern
#

THE FLOW

#

R U I N E D

balmy condor
#

pistol shot doesn't give me 25 cp anymore wtf

wary ether
#

ok ngl tho, ps, dispatch, ps dispatch 200 times in a row was kinda nice

next edge
#

So you're telling me Outlaw got a better version of their BIS legendary

solid mica
#

It was kinda beat tbh

next edge
#

which got 1% nerf

#

and its DEAD already?

royal lantern
#

maybe im a boomer in that regard

balmy condor
#

nah

solid mica
#

What is it that makes sin boiz hate OL so much i always wondered

balmy condor
#

that's why it got changed

royal lantern
#

but no spec should straight up IGNORE resources

slow marsh
#

Na they actually got a buff cuz they dropped a talent to pick up cto + more tier synergy cuz more ambush

royal lantern
wary ether
#

bruh when i read "can i be honest" i expect some crazy ass hot take, not common sense

solid mica
#

Honest

slow marsh
wind condor
#

Sin is equivalent of relaxing on the beach with a pina colada, calm, enjoyable. Outlaw is like an underground euro rave, also fun but makes you sweaty and not relaxed

balmy condor
solid mica
#

I mean yeah but those are everywhere

next edge
#

I love Outlaw and people who actually love the spec

#

but channel is so flowed by andies who cry over the most stpid stuff

slow marsh
#

The dent brain thing is true for sure tho

next edge
#

that makes me hate a wide part of the outlaw comunity

wary ether
#

i think most of the regulars dont even care tbh

#

but theres so many fotm rerollers

gloomy knoll
#

Sin has weirdos outlaw has dentge and sub has liars

wind condor
#

Over night of our kurog prog me and the other outlaw were at 99.3 and 97.6 cpm, and the next highest was like 80cpm

balmy condor
#

real

gloomy knoll
wind condor
#

So zoomer

solid mica
#

Lol

gloomy knoll
#

I’m just weird ok

solid mica
#

I fuckin love OL but i play and enjoy all three specs so idk

#

Ppl are weird for sure especially when theres a ton of fotm'ers chatting

balmy condor
#

assassination: dm me armpits

outlaw: I CANT PLAY MYTHIC+ ANYMORE WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF BLIZZZAAAAAAAARDDDDDD

subtlety: there is no war in ba sing se don't look at us we're under played and under tuned no no don't open logs you don't have to check

royal lantern
# solid mica Honest

m+ meta for over 6 years at this point, and it gives the other specs no chance to be great in m+ most of the time cus blizzard doesnt change them for aoe cus "outlaw is strong, just play outlaw"(its the first time since bfa that outlaw is not the best m+ spec cus sub is on the same level lol)

when its good for raids, you feel stupid for playing the other specs cus outlaw with high st is also always a aoe and cleave monster by default cus BF is a shit mechanic

the outlaw community during BfA 8.1 went total shit, all the FotM brains went outlaw and many never left, turning it into a giant m+ circlejerk that will constantly tell you how GOOD OUTLAW PLAYS THE OTHER SPECS ARE BORING OMGGGGG cus they spam sinester strike all the time and want all specs to be 200000APM spamm 1 button

yellow is not a cool color

#

and DF alpha/beta send that shit into overdrive again

#

remember restless crew jerk?

#

remember the first energy nerf? 40 APM SPEC OMG

next edge
#

The day they removed RC

#

that was a great day

#

to eat popcorns

#

and check OL channel

balmy condor
#

restless crew, finally outlaw is viable

next edge
#

Well when Outlaw ogt a 3% aura nerf alongside all other rogue specs

#

it was mental

glad osprey
#

Outlaw Residentsleeperemote

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean

#

outlaw gets any nerf at all

glad osprey
#

Who wants to play that shit

balmy condor
#

the screaming begins

solid mica
royal lantern
#

or how a very specific green name straight up said multiple times "i dont want that assa and sub do more ST dmg then outlaw just because outlaw has bladeflury, i dont want to be forced to play other specs when aoe is not needed"

FIND THE PROBLEM

(no flaming him btw, guy is great, but he is a giant 1trick brain and doesnt care at all about anything that is not outlaw)

@gusty mirage

#

We go Arak

solid mica
#

Id imagine some ppl are just fed up cause it feels bad to get like 7 straight nerfs even if theyre small opposed to like 3 that actually matter

balmy condor
next edge
#

it doesn't feel bad

#

if you're straight up the best m+ spec in the game

#

they were deserved most of them

strange python
#

Gin is English

next edge
#

Which doesn't feel good

balmy condor
#

I feel my eyes crossing trying to read that menu

next edge
#

is Sin giga nerfed several times

#

because COMMUNITY PERCEPTION

#

but having other classes on top for years, yeah thats fine

royal lantern
#

^

#

like, rn the community perception is so bad

gusty mirage
gloomy knoll
royal lantern
#

its OMG ROGUE OP JUST NERF when rogue is not even the top dog anymore AND assa actually starts to struggle quiet a bit slowly

i still have PSTD for stv

keen spruce
#

I played rogue in stv pat_smile

#

especially at lv 60 KEK

balmy condor
#

I'm not old enough to understand what stv is

strange python
balmy condor
#

is that stranglethorn vale

gloomy knoll
#

Yea rogues being op drives people mad because getting kidneyd at any point in time is like going through genocide and the plague and super aids all at once

balmy condor
#

jesus

#

really pulled that one out of my ass

strange python
#

Lowkey I want rogue to lose all of our stuns.

#

Because then people would stop raging every time we're remotely decent

gloomy knoll
#

It’s why we’re good in keys

#

Like we would basically fall off a cliff in keys without our utility

royal lantern
#

utility is the most overrated thing for m+

#

its all dmg in the end

gloomy knoll
#

That’s sometimes the case

keen spruce
#

I use kidney like 5 times a dungeon rn on outlaw and don't even spec into gougue KEK

gloomy knoll
#

But a lot of the time rogue has been brought or meta even with average damage

keen spruce
#

when shroud was important

gloomy knoll
#

We just have the kit for keys

keen spruce
#

but rogues have definitely not been brought when when they're average in many seasons

gloomy knoll
#

I mean we were meta for the last 6 years and we’re definitely not even close to top Dps for a lot of that

strange python
#

@gusty mirage lamb or chicken

wind dune
#

what build are we doing for council just the arterial one in the faq?

#

or do i swap some things for spike

strange python
wind dune
#

yea

#

good call

gusty mirage
strange python
#

Okay we do lamb

balmy condor
nocturne current
#

Whisp, quick question.

balmy condor
#

quick answer

nocturne current
#

Which one is the worse performance scenario, letting the bleed full tick and drop for 1 second or refreshing 1 second before the pandemic time? (I don't know the damage loss p/ energy wasted ratio) I guess letting it drop has worse impact even if you don't energy cap right?

balmy condor
#

for exanguinated bleeds or what

nocturne current
#

Just the bleed cycle in general

balmy condor
#

oh

#

yeah letting it drop is worse

keen spruce
#

@balmy condor exang puzzle is up to 1800dps gain... I'll be at the target dummy PES_Cry

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

puzzle box and exsang are unavoidable

#

they're like herpes, they're with you for life

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

we all do eventually

nocturne current
#

Even I switch to Exsang.. notlikethis

keen spruce
#

cuz i know if I don't go do it now, i'm gonna get a 421 box in my vault and i'm gonna have to go practice hte new opener before raid

dense herald
#

I miss the 45s exang days

#

Shoulda been 20s

solid mica
#

It shoukd be 45 if we have to play it anyway kek

oak sky
gloomy knoll
#

You’d use it every rupture almost at 20 seconds peepochrist

#

Or every other

balmy condor
#

it would be every other, since you would pandemic a 6cp rup to almost 40 seconds

#

and then exsang it down to 20

#

and then repeat

dense herald
#

God that sounds smooth

oak sky
#

Might as well just be circle then

balmy condor
#

make exsang a passiev

oak sky
#

It would be better as a passive

#

For sure

slow marsh
strange python
ebon notch
#

How valuable would that be

balmy condor
#

very

ebon notch
#

Nice

balmy condor
#

idk if 10% is the right number tuning wise obviously

#

but it's essentially 10% more bleed damage, and extra energy

ebon notch
#

Yeah

#

Could call it "exsanguinated" or smth

#

I wonder if making shiv a mini exsang would be awful to play around

indigo mulch
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
oak sky
#

If it affected the whole bleed you would do the same refreshing shit as now and it would just be exsang

clear granite
#

Why everyone hates exsang?

slim drift
#

Is there somewhere in details where I can see damage prevented by iron wire debuff

strange python
#

Bro the command is done?

#

Rip

vapid sierra
#

whats your guyses overall in academy?

balmy condor
#

like 100-110 for random pugs

#

higher if it's a good group or organized

vapid sierra
#

whisp could i get your plater profiel

#

im having trouble tracking bleeds

balmy condor
vapid sierra
#

in aoe its a pain

#

ty

#

also how do you know when to start getting your three ruptures/garrotes up in a key?

#

im finding bleed rules tricky in keys

#

since its multitarget

slim drift
#

I did 100k with my dagger breaking in the middle of last boss XD

balmy condor
#

and that's all the bleeds you need

vapid sierra
#

but when they fall off thats when i get confused on what to do

balmy condor
#

after those drop, you start to look towards gar/rup for energy

#

you keep casting them between CT casts

#

until you have enough to sustain your energy costs

vapid sierra
#

they generate energy?

#

do you cast them at 6/7 cp?

balmy condor
#

5/6

vapid sierra
#

ah shit forgot this wasnt outlaw

#

and how do they give you energy? garrote seems to take a shit load away

#

i forgot they passively generate energy

#

and when you say ct casts, isnt ct only used as a finisher and not as a dot at like 6 targets?

ebon notch
oak sky
#

You would have to refresh garrote before and rupture would need more than 18s left

#

Ig it would depend on the power level how impactful it would be

ebon notch
#

I kinda wish AP did that to the mobs it hit

oak sky
#

With it not doubling bleed speed

ebon notch
#

Make it feel like it did something

oak sky
#

It might actually be ok

#

Like if it did like

#

75% duration or something

#

Every shiv

#

So you sometimes have to refresh early to make sure you max out ticks

#

But not always

#

Dunno

balmy condor
#

so you maintain it

vapid sierra
#

i see

#

so i go off of feeling and resources

runic hinge
#

!lariat

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
vapid sierra
#

and im assuming i waste dm/trink in prio targets and hold for boss

balmy condor
#

you can

#

just gotta play it by ear

slim drift
#

Ideally you wanna send dm on cooldown, but it's hard to have a good target every cooldown

safe barn
#

I know the answer is probably "just sim" but, does anyone know how impactful ilvl is for weps? I was comparing my logs with a guy that had similar ilvl but 2 weps with higher ilvl and I wanted to know if that was a significant factor

vapid sierra
#

tier set/stats/trinks are important also

#

and enchants and weather you have embel on weapon

#

so sim for yourself the 2 ilvl difference OMEGAKEKW

balmy condor
thin wyvern
#

is there a crit cap?

balmy condor
#

no breakpoints on any stats

thin wyvern
#

so essentially crit my pants got it

balmy condor
#

it just be like that

#

full stacking crit is bad

#

as is full stacking anything

lament warren
#

big seal fate would have you believe that

swift magnet
#

can Venomous Wounds proc if the target is poisoned with an other player's poisons?

balmy condor
#

I don't think so

swift magnet
#

in cleave situations like on p1 of Kurog, or should I say funnel maybe, is it worth to spend 5-6cb on a rupture on the add for energy gain or not?

woeful meteor
#

The Add has to die so def keep your dots up on the add

vapid sierra
#

keep on parcing 60 but wow analyzer isnt telling me im doing anything big wrong

#

is it just because im geared for outlaw?

swift magnet
vapid sierra
#

only issue im seeing is my shiv usage, but ill tend to hold it for a few seconds so i can go shiv into envenom, it was on cd for 80% of the fight

woeful meteor
swift magnet
#

because 84 energy gained does not seems to make up for 6 cbs and 22 energy

#

does anyone has the math on this?

gusty mirage
#

I mean, it would take 4 ticks for you to get the energy back you spent on that rupture

#

well 4 + a fraction of a tick

#

plus our bleeds are hasted

#

so you end up getting fractional ticks

#

which also give you 6 energy

swift magnet
gusty mirage
#

yes but you were spending that energy on those combo points regardless

#

whether it was an envenom into the main target

#

or rupturing an off target

#

so you would really compare the spending of those combo points

swift magnet
#

exactly, and as I say please view this from a theorical stand point and forget about the add damage, just the boss damage: does rupturing the add helps you funnel your main target?

#

so the rupture on the add could be an envenom on the boss

gusty mirage
#

yes, lets say you get really unlucky and only crit 1 hand of the mutilate, you mutilate twice for 6cp. That's 100 energy used, rupture is 25 energy (without tight spenders) and envenom is 35 energy

#

if you hit a 6cp rupture on an off target, you're spending a total of 125 energy to get that rupture up

#

that's a 28s rupture, or 14 ticks (ignoring haste causing partial ticks)

#

so you're looking at 84 energy just from those 14 ticks right?

#

to envenom otherwise, you're spending 135 energy to do damage to your main target

#

84 energy over 28s is kinda big when you factor in the natural energy regen

swift magnet
#

yes so not worth it for the funnel damage that was my feeling

gusty mirage
#

yeah, looking at it from strictly for energy it's a nice bonus because you're getting more venomous ticks but it's not an insane amount that giga boosts your prio damage

#

the no brainer for it, is that rupture is our highest DPET finisher and 2nd highest DPET spell

#

the extra damage sends it over the edge

swift magnet
#

I am trying to weight the pros and cons of each specs for Kurog

gusty mirage
#

sin vs outlaw?

swift magnet
#

yes it sure is better to rupture the add in my book but if asked why I did it and why I did not envenom the boss instead I want to be able to explain

gusty mirage
#

yeah the energy is legit just the bonus part of rupturing an off target

swift magnet
#

sin vs sub more likely atm as my rl feels like boss damage will be prio (we do the first pull soon)

#

i'm not sure OL can achieve as good numbers as sin/sub on st and as easily, and also we have an arms war that will exec so add cleave will be kind of prohibited

gusty mirage
#

yeah my job on kurog was just straight boss damage

swift magnet
#

you did as sin ?

gusty mirage
#

yeppers

swift magnet
#

did you bother refreshing poisons on the add in p1 for example so it can proc energy from the bleeds?

#

I feel like it would give me a headache at the end of the night doing it

#

and i'm not sure I can reliably do it all the time too

upper crown
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
swift magnet
#

so it's sub or I just kinda tunnel the boss as sin, dot the add and forget about venomous wounds, what do you think?

gusty mirage
#

between all the shit you have to worry about on that fight

#

worrying about keeping up bleeds AND poisons on the add is a lot

swift magnet
#

yeah no doubt, I did a 10 min session on dummies trying to juggle the poison refresh on the off target and the rest and it was a pain

balmy condor
#

kurog is an easy refresh though

#

2 targets isn't bad at all

#

you have to refresh bleeds on it constantly

#

you just tab auto and call it a day

swift magnet
#

so in your opinion before I go do you think sub can do as good as sin on Kurog? factoring the funneling opportunity of having 2 targets

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

sin is one of the worst specs on kurog

#

its just boss damage tbh

#

unless you giga want to play sin cause you think it's fun

swift magnet
#

yes but that's what my rl wants me to do

balmy condor
#

yikes

swift magnet
#

i'm ok with it tbh, atm i'm trying to figure out if sub 2 target funnel does more damage more reliably than sin

balmy condor
#

there is 0 funnel with 2 target

swift magnet
#

you dont shuriken storm to build?

balmy condor
#

I mean sure

#

but that's not really funnel is it

#

it probably does less single target damage actually

#

cause you would want to gloomblade for single target

swift magnet
#

yes ok that's not full blown out funneling but thats a perk over pure ST no?

balmy condor
#

being able to hit 2 targets is more damage than hitting 1 target, sure

#

sub's 2 target is the worst of the 3 rogue specs

#

idk why you would want to play sub for 2 target

swift magnet
#

cause i'm asked to not dps the add as I said

#

we have a war and all that and it's not my decision

balmy condor
#

sure

somber basin
#

Then play assa?

balmy condor
#

then play whatever is higher in single target

soft sigil
balmy condor
#

a second target is going to benefit sin way more than sub for single target damage anyway

#

idk

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

it's a weird question is all

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

yeah

somber basin
#

Assa is way better on 2 targets where you prio st dmg

balmy condor
#

that's why I'm confused why you're confused

magic vine
#

sub 2t has a very minimal window where you'd shuriken storm, because lingering is better damage than storm on 2t till like 5s left on the buff

soft sigil
balmy condor
#

sub gains nothing from a second target

#

sin gains something

#

if your only priority is single target damage

#

then play sin

swift magnet
#

i'm not i'm just trying to make a decision based on other people experiences

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

people play wrong

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

it is what it is

swift magnet
#

yes it's reliable

magic vine
#

it takes like 10-12 seconds before lingering gets low enough that shuriken on 2t is more damage than just gloomblade, which is basically half the cooldown time on dance.

#

so you essentially get slightly more cp in the lowest damage window in the spec

#

like its a gain, but not something huge

swift magnet
#

yes makes sense, I often see logs from that guy doing good parses and it's funny to me that he can do top50 parse playing wrong

somber basin
#

Kurog is one of the worst fights to look at only overall dmg because its most likely padding if u do high dmg

#

If u care about progression and your job is to do pure st dmg then u should never press black powder like that valc guy u mentioned

fading mason
#

when going into aoe pull with slice up and ic

is it better to open garrote ,fan ,ct{or is it better to go for rupture at that point?}then reprimant and follow with either ct or rupture whats not on the target

balmy condor
#

ic gar ct er rup

marble hemlock
#

(more than 1garr)

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

not really right

#

you can though

marble hemlock
#

youd wanna cast 3cp ct?

balmy condor
#

just to guarantee the er rup

#

yeh

marble hemlock
#

instead of 2nd garrote for prio or pandemic

#

but you get er rup either way

#

since you finish before it so its either 2 or 3cp after ER into rupture

balmy condor
#

sure

marble hemlock
#

i just wouldnt wanna cast 3cp CT 😄

balmy condor
#

the pandemic isn't that important though

marble hemlock
#

well if you wanna send exsang+DM after

balmy condor
#

I don't think the difference is that important

marble hemlock
#

but yeah overall it doesnt matter that much

balmy condor
#

the 3cp feels fine to me cause I'm just refreshing it basically instantly right now

marble hemlock
#

wonder if with pb etc wed wanna envenom earlier into the aoe opener

balmy condor
#

it's like gar ct er rup fok lands you on 4cp or whatever

#

and then you're just going

#

but yeh

#

it's kinda whatever

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

its just like ST opener

#

as long as you get shit up asap

#

the order in which you do that kinda doesnt matter

fading mason
#

thanks for the diferent opinions 🥳

verbal kestrel
#

Yo Im just picking up my old rogue so I was looking for a slightly easier build to run, would it be troll to run Dragon tempered blades and arterial precision in dungeons?

balmy condor
#

it would be a significant aoe loss

cunning nest
verbal kestrel
cunning nest
#

You activate it in stealth before the trash Pack an than just spread the dots 🤗

verbal kestrel
cunning nest
#

Depends on the key Level, so no. Overall high er keys an fortified feels better for it in my view

#

Remember that you can silence up until 8 targets with damage reduction with it, if you skill iron wire for a little bit of damage, which you should on high keys

Most important challenge will be to Tell your Tank Not to chainpull (PLEASE) 😂

balmy condor
#

chain pulls are fine

#

common misconception about m+

stray mural
#

why do i feel like the new assa dtb m+ spec has no utility

verbal kestrel
#

I still got a long way to go before Im doing high keys with my rogue lmao but It'll be good for me to practice with this build

You’ve changed though

cunning nest
# balmy condor chain pulls are fine

Its fine in many cases, because of vanish, but if it happens for several pulls in a row (and only because of 1 or 2 second(s)) I indeed feel like dps and iron wire-Utility gets thrown under the bus 🫣

balmy condor
#

well if it's 1 or 2 seconds then your tank is just an idiot

#

and not chain pulling

#

that's dent brain pulling

cunning nest
#

Yes. Thing is: assa is not meta in m+ and so many tanks in pugs dont know about that. Stealth isnt that important for OL and sub

That's why I tell tanks and advice other to do so, too 🙃
Many just dont know

balmy condor
#

I mean chain pulling isn't an assassination thing

#

you're just playing with dogshit tanks

#

but them pulling like that is an issue for any spec and any class

civic forge
#

is there a decent non er build for keys? wanted to try out assassination for a bit but not a fan of er. kinda curious how much worse it is to play without it

balmy condor
#

you would drop ER for cold blood

#

it's kinda fine

#

but the single target is worse

civic forge
#

any specific ability you want to use CB with?

balmy condor
#

envenom or ct

civic forge
#

like idk if there's something like CB + Sectec

#

kk cool. thanks

drifting cosmos
#

You’re in the wrong ch my friend, sin burst is kinda different to sub

civic forge
#

yeah i just figured i'd ask

#

worst case is a no right?

zinc frost
#

It’s a fair question tho - if your coming from sub to sin and wondering if there’s any similar interactions with CB

somber basin
weak crescent
#

oh fair, i guess its all dependant on the raid needs

keen spruce
#

I mean if you're playing assas then you're highest value is going to be single target. fights like kurog heroic are mostly single target anyways

#

if your raid is gonna make you play AoE assas, idk why they wouldn't just make you play outlaw lol

dense herald
#

if later in the fight everything lined up, would you actively choose to rupture-> vanish garrote before EXANG -> DM etc, or would it actually be better to regular garrote/rupture - EXANG -> DM, vanish garrote when exang'd garrote falls off? seeing most logs do the delayed vanish garrote in the opener and then vanish garroting half way into DM's duration at the 2 minutes for the rest of the fights, wondering if its better do delay the second DM window by say 15-20s to have the empowered garrotes line up with DM the rest of the fight for its full duration (so long as you dont lose total casts), any comment on this?

balmy condor
#

you would vanish gar exsang

#

the only reason why you delay in opener is cause you already have empowered garrote from the stealth pull

dense herald
# balmy condor you would vanish gar exsang

okay yeah so ideally when you line up exang with the 4m DM onwards, if you can the priority would be waiting for vanish to be off cd for the exang lineups, ty just wanted to get my head around it, seeing lots of literal r1's just continuing to vanish garrote half way through DM and exang'ing a full duration normal garrote

Algeth'ar Puzzle Box usage:
When playing Exsanguinate, use Puzzle Box just before pressing Exsanguinate. Otherwise always sync Puzzle Box with Deathmark.
Holding Puzzle Box and Exsanguinate for a minute to sync with the 4 minute Deathmark is generally beneficial. Using Puzzle Box on cooldown can be beneficial with very specific fight lengths.

balmy condor
# oak sky this an old gf or like

She moved to socal and the long distance wasn’t working out so we broke up and then a week later I came home from highschool (this was sophomore year mind you), and she was naked in my kitchen after having let herself in and just straight up insano like straight out of yandere simulator

#

She went to a mental ward after that

zinc frost
#

Sub one is quite easy, haven’t tried sin one yet since SL

strange python
#

And I’m still unsure on what gear is best I’ve seen guides that are “recently” updated that say old gear like chromie time or MOP crafted pvp, then I’ve seen ones that say no high Ilvl Dragonflight armor is best atm

balmy condor
#

Aside from some trinkets that need to be tested I don’t think there’s much cheese anymore

#

Sockets are still bonkers good

#

But they’re good for damage

#

You might want to use leech gear maybe

#

But idk

zinc frost
#

I used the leech trinket from emerald nightmare, pretty decent

steel ridge

is it easier now?

Ah ok Gotcha Ty

#

Is there a thread for macros, I don’t think I looked over it if there is one 😎🤓

balmy condor
#

Nah

hollow river
#

i've heard they've changed the ilvl scaling in MT so using the same type of "cheese" gear you did in SL is worse than DF gear, though i have absolutely no evidence to support that

balmy condor
#

I don’t think it’s worse

#

I just don’t think it makes a difference

#

It’s all the same item level

#

And all the crazy special trinkets and stuff got nerfed or disabled

hollow river
#

so lower ilvl gets scaled up as well?

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

Every piece of gear is scaled to 140 ilvl

hollow river
#

ahh okay, that part wasn't mentioned in what i read

balmy condor
#

Regardless of the original ilvl

hollow river
#

quite a few were saying now that it scales over 100ilvl the ~38-50 ilvl gear was much worse. which lead me to believe it wasn't scaling it up.

balmy condor
#

There was this mage tower video where a guy was like “I DID IT IN LEVELING GREENS”

hollow river
#

but this is people on the forums making their own wild claims we're talking about here KEKW

balmy condor
#

And I’m sitting there like

#

You’re a fucking clown

hollow river
#

lmfao

balmy condor
#

Most clickbait shit ever

hollow river
#

what about no gear and white ilvl daggers???

balmy condor
#

That would be something

#

Cause no secondaries

#

But as far as I’m aware, a crit/mast ilvl 10 green is the same as a 421 crit/mast

#

Vault tier is active though

#

So that’s something to keep in mind

#

And some of the trinket scaling is wonky

#

I don’t Know of anything cheese though

#

Sockets are still just bonus on top of gear

#

And leech still is good because that’s a bonus too

#

Like I would wear a leech 200 ilvl belt over a 418 ilvl belt

#

But aside from sockets/tertiaries I think they squashed the rest
