I need help picking what to get here. Windswept Pages (WP) sims higher on both 1 and 4 bosses but is a D-tier trinket for Sin from what i saw, however Controlled Current Technique (CCT) is a best in slot from what saw online. Should i grab what Sims higher and grab the WP or do I grab the CCT because of how amplifying poison works and because it supposedly a better trinket for Sin?

Does sub or sin do better in Council fight? I'm not sure where to find data to find the answer.

@balmy condor your build for Kurog was DTB w/o Exsang?

what did you swap for exsang

balmy condor
#

A sizeable donation to the humane society

That’s good for your taxes.

Get that return up

#

if you had to choose between 421 whetstone, 421 icon, 421 current, and 411 grieftorch, what two trinkets would you use?

thorn fjord
#

icon current

hexed root
thorn fjord
#

Heroic torch won’t have anywhere the value that the 421s do

subtle tundra
#

in raid i'd still play torch

#

1 reset and its better than a passive one

thorn fjord
#

Blizzard making certain activities chance based for credit towards catalyst is so fucking stupid

#

Like who in their right mind thought that would be a good idea

Is raidbots telling everyone else to go haste? It wants me to change from mast/crit to crit/haste and change one of my rings to haste enchant as well

I'm wondering if it's trying to get to like 15% haste or something

balmy condor
#

No it’s just saying haste right now is better for you

#

bro legit i started calling my guild keys "Fotm's Kindergarden Sessions"

#

cause i had to hold their hands

the entire fucking time

#

if i didnt say anything nobody would kicked

Just uploaded my first log in to wow analyzer... this thing is really cool

I did get PI'ed in 6 bosses but hey, that priest was awesome

hexed root
#

i dont remember the last time i did normal:

normal mist
#

There's no reason to do it once you started m+ and HC, just for tier really

#

And now with catalyst even less

royal lantern
#

ye

#

like, you compete against nobody in normal

#

so high logs are not hard

Well... Normal Eranog is comparing against the world's unluckiest rogues

I beat my past self, it's a W and i take those

hexed root
#

whats the go to phial for sin now? vers?

balmy condor
#

yep, like it has been

hexed root
#

it use to be glacial for aoe but apparently that changed at some point to 100% vers

gusty mirage

#

so i just checked blood mallet and the puzzle box is sky rocket above everything atm is that actually true?

gusty mirage
#

you ever see a 1min 18s eranog kill?

#

yes

hexed root
gusty mirage
#

damn I gotta step my game up

cedar silo
#

so my 392 puzzle box is actually better than my 411 grieftorch and my 421 icon .... this is mad awk

gusty mirage
#

I miss normal

#

I felt like I was good at the game

hexed root
gusty mirage
#

I think my fastest heroic was 2min

#

insanity

#

lmao

cedar silo
#

wtf happened to make puzzle box that strong out of no where? or was it just not simming correctly before

gusty mirage
#

it was always strong

hexed root
#

which two trinkets would y'all use?

cedar silo
#

it was like 4-5

#

now its best by a large margin

gusty mirage
#

for assassination?

#

it was for sure not 4-5

#

it's been top dog for legit like a month now

cedar silo
#

gtfo no way someone told me on here like a week ago it was sim bait

gusty mirage
#

someone in this channel told you that?

balmy condor
#

it's been bis for almost 2 months

cedar silo
#

im gunna lose my mind lol i upgraded a whetstone for keys cause i was told it was bait lol

#

legit last week

gusty mirage
#

feel free to publicly shame that person

hexed root
#

whetstone is bait for stones

#

keys*

#

imo

cedar silo
#

well whetstone was keys and i was adds on brood and i dont own the boon so i upgraded whetstone

hexed root
#

is box bis regardless of ilvl?

#

that's my situation

#

same with torch

gusty mirage
#

no, but even at like 398

cedar silo
#

but i simmed this morning for vault and my 392 puzzle box is out simming every trinket i have even 421

gusty mirage
#

its stupid strong

hexed root
magic vine
#

you probably didn't have exsang before lol

gusty mirage
#

so currents/icon

#

@Esmef1re#5182

cedar silo
#

u should 100% use that box...

#

my 392 is out simming every trinket i have

balmy condor
hexed root
#

when to use it? hmmmm

#

i think thats my concern with it, is my skill issues

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

you just press the button any time within like 3 seconds of deathmark

#

deathmark box?

#

fine

#

box deathmark?

#

fine

hexed root
#

gotcha

cedar silo
#

oh itds not like a snap shot mechanic where u box before death mark?

#

interesting

balmy condor
#

for all purposes snapshotting does not exist

#

there's a haste snapshot on exsang

#

but you can't cheese it in any way

#

might as well not exist

cedar silo
#

i was losing my mind with how i would do the opener

#

i would do normal get all dots up than box ER rupture Vanish garrote twice than xang death mark

#

i didnt know it didnt matter

#

id rather box after my set up lol

split grail
#

Question on the opener: Do I DM immediately after Exsang or wait for the bleeds to dump a little?

#

I don't know why I would wait, its a dumb question

drifting light
drifting light
# hexed root which would you use?

If at least one guy dies then torch is just too good to pass on. I personally do more with 411 torch than a 421 icon, but maybe your guild is perfect and has 0 deaths

magic vine
#

if you're sneaky you can lure people into bad spots that rogues can survive that others can't, gaining you a torch reset

minor gate
hexed root
#

my guild just slaughters any adds so I'm trying to go sin for majority of the fights and just funnel boss

drifting light
#

I mean, adds dont rly matter for the choice of trinkets

hexed root
drifting light
#

Yea but thats just useless padding if you are going single innit

hexed root
#

there's only like... 8 rogues in the top 100 for broodkeeper that don't have torch or boon

#

depends on your definition of useless, i think killing those adds faster is positive

drifting light
#

Yea but if for example you are on diurna on boss then yea, there is that

#

Idk about others but i dont think i'v ever had a clean mythic kill, at least on the later bosses, so i just play grieftorch and do like 7% with it

#

Seems decent enough

#

Hoping for a 424 from the vault exs_uwu

hexed root
#

424 from vault would be godly

#

i 1000000% struggle with later bosses, can't put my finger on it

drifting light
#

I mean, if you are on single target duty it shouldnt rly matter

#

But i guess you arent

#

Kurog depends a lot on positioning for the max dam

#

No idea why outlaw for the spider

hexed root
#

adds

#

and sheep

drifting light
#

Yea but you only rly care about the big spider

hexed root
#

all the top parses for mythic bosses leans towards outlaw

drifting light
#

And we can easily swap to that big guy

hexed root
#

yea

#

going sin this week for majority of the fights

thorn fjord
#

@spice spire Just had another one drop for me -_-

hexed root
#

if they bring me in for dathea probably half the fights

drifting light
#

Yea i mean sin is fine for most but yea, outlaw just brings a bit more to the table on dathea and kurog

hexed root
#

honestly

#

planning on sin for dathea

#

because platform group MURDERED the adds

#

like it's highly situational for me it feels

drifting light
#

If you sit on boss then sure, you dont have to go for adds

#

We had like 2 ppl just hitting the boss

#

Whole fight

hexed root
#

maybe i can convince them

#

sat last week for melee vs range comp balance

drifting light
#

Yea but its usually better to just go there, rogues do a lot on adds. Probably some warlock should just chill on boss, cause we can easily respec and be fine overall

hexed root
#

not in our raid lol

drifting light
#

Oh well

tidal flame
#

Noob question but i noticed when using catalyst that my gear with vers becomes set gear with no vers is that normal? I feel like im going to be even more squish with no vers ?

hexed root
#

catalyst is preset gear

magic vine
#

catalyst only keeps the gear ilvl

tidal flame
#

Oh so it would be better to get set thru vault ?

trim zinc
#

why r u caring about vers?

woeful meteor
#

PVP Player i'd assume

woeful meteor

#

Great thanks for the info and yeah im a pvp player thats why i was scared to drop vers

hexed root

#

you can't macro two GCD actions

#

(unless it's a cast sequence, but you don't want that)

#

and yes, it's best to sync them. unless you know you'll get an extra use if you don't

balmy condor
#

you just press it idk what to say

#

press it before

#

press it after

#

it doesn't matter

#

just press it

hexed root
#

but with deathmark

#

vs exsang

#

and then i assume on CD since they don't line up again w/o holding deathmark for a minute

balmy condor
#

you hold unless you lose a cast

hexed root

hexed root

stray pike
#

i have some questions about using exsanguinate... i'm just moving to ass from sub. Once i cast exsanguinate it shortens the buff time of my dots. Do i wait until these dots complete and then reapply and then deathmark in opener?

raw raft
#

you can press deathmark right after you press exsang

#

but yeah you'd want to let the bleeds fall off

stray pike
raw raft
#

uh i haven't seen anything like that so that'd be a question for someone more advanced in here

storm onyx
hexed root
distant mesa
#

wow

stray pike
gusty mirage
#

yes you deathmark after exsang

viscid spear
stray pike
# distant mesa

i see, FAQ says doing exsang DURING deathmark but i guess before is ok

distant mesa
#

def before

storm onyx
#

You DM after Exsan always, not the other way around. DM has bleed component itself; so it gets compressed as well if you use Exsan after it. Resulting a dps loss

distant mesa
#

if you do during you kuk the dm dmg

gusty mirage
# stray pike i see, FAQ says doing exsang DURING deathmark but i guess before is ok

Exsanguinate + Echoing Reprimand: Sync with each other on cooldown. You should aim to ER -> Rupture -> Exsanguinate whenever possible. If the timing naturally syncs with Deathmark, make sure to do the combo first, then Deathmark. DO NOT EXSANGUINATE DURING DEATHMARK, IT IS A LOSS OF ~10%. This is due to Exsanguinate reducing the duration of Deathmark, thus cutting the duplication effect early.

#

i forgot to use puzzle box and pot on pull though

#

and didnt have exsang on my bars

timber pawn
#

You can't macro grieftorch and deathmark together it seems, keeps cancelling channel

slate forge
#

Is there a reasonable heuristic to decide if Diurna's Chosen is worth it based on ilevel? or is it always worth it since you can get hood?

timber pawn
#

anyone got a method

hexed root
#

i need more PIs on ras. go from 100 parse to 64 parse in heroic qq

storm onyx
timber pawn
#

boooooo

tacit otter
storm onyx
#

Or actually you can but torch cancels if you do anything else

gusty mirage
#

you begin the channel mid gcd

#

and its gucci

tacit otter
#

if you do dm -> grieftorch you have to press the macro on gcd. so you have to be sure you dont press it too early

storm onyx

hi, popping in to check on feedback on WoWA.

gusty mirage

giving them a good baseline to go off of

#

excited for the future development I'm a fan

main vessel
#

I still have a few items from Whispyr to implement

marble hemlock
#

Simcheck on ttk instead of amp, playing ip+dp, having more CTs on AOE but less st. But how much more AOE/less st?

gusty mirage
#

a lot of people didn't realize they were wasting so much CP

#

or energy

ebon notch
main vessel
#

I should actually be able to add how many CP were wasted

gusty mirage
#

my sub sims for 10k less

ebon notch
#

my assa sims like 1k more than yours

gusty mirage
#

lemme check

ebon notch
#

but my sub is 86k

main vessel
#

Rogue in my guild just got #2 sin parse on Dathea BearpogR

gusty mirage
#

give me the cookie cutter ST build for sub

gusty mirage
#

I parsed a 9

#

because my RL hates me

#

and made me go on the platform as assassination

weak isle
gusty mirage
main vessel
#

he went on the platform too, I think

gusty mirage

you ready for the kicker?

i had to play outlaw and go on a platform with an arcane mage kekman

Im ready

yeah, he went on the platform

he booned

I was in a M+ build

fok pepeLaugh

and holding vanish

for iron wire garrote on the platform

cause I went up 1 and 3

dense herald
#

Ohh

gusty mirage
#

(already yoinked it @raw raft im sorry)

raw raft

So you had to do platforms but not use cds when you wanted

I see

gusty mirage
#

I had a BLAST

That’s tilting having to hold vanish

gusty mirage
#

I think I was doing an aoe/cleave build

raw raft
#

my guild asking me to play sub on raz maybe i tell them no Sinscheme

ebon notch
#

this i9snt even a top gear sim

#

this is a droptimizer

gusty mirage
ebon notch
#

no wonder it so much higher than your sub

#

scammer

gusty mirage
#

I mean

#

its 4k above sub

#

prolly cuz 408 currents

gaunt moat
gusty mirage
#

if you make me play sub

ebon notch
gusty mirage
#

and we end up needing boss damage

#

I'm not swapping back

#

you live with your decision

ebon notch
distant mesa
#

is the AP build that we use on Council a good M+ build?

raw raft
#

i said sin would do more shield dam and execute Sinscheme

distant mesa
#

if you dont want to do the DTB

gusty mirage
ebon notch
#

sub is like 10x better for progging especially if you are not as good a guild

#

it makes the progress so much easier

distant mesa
ruby birch
gusty mirage
#

so we just do dtb + IC

ebon notch
#

compensating for an assa rogue is actually kinda tough

gusty mirage
#

cuz we sacrifice less ST

ruby birch
#

81.5k or something

ruby birch
#

i didnt have exsang on bars

#

didnt box or pot on pull

#

couldve probably pulled 88k

raw raft
ruby birch
#

or 89k

#

my sin sim for 90k so

ruby birch
gusty mirage
#

idk if I agree with that

gaunt moat
ebon notch
#

can you imagine how hard it will be for guilds starting now?

gusty mirage
#

well the boss did just get kinda giga nerfed

ebon notch
#

even liquid struggled with it

raw raft
#

sorry my guild has a history of about 300 pulls on end bosses and i don't think i'll make it pressing gloomblade for that long

gusty mirage
#

well the boss we'll be pulling

ruby birch
#

we pushing rasz on 5th winds

gusty mirage
#

isn't the same boss you're pulling

ebon notch
#

i mean you can for sure try it

gusty mirage
#

and not the same one liquid did

ruby birch
#

p1 feels very safe rn

ebon notch
#

but im just saying that i understand why your RL would want you to play sub

gusty mirage
#

whether or not you play a sin rogue depends really on your cleave

#

oh I do too

#

but I told him

#

if our ST is struggling

#

I'm not swapping back

#

lmao

#

I'm not repeating anduin bro

ebon notch
#

after the 3% nerf assa rogue shouldnt be as valuable anymore

gusty mirage
#

"go this" "go that"

#

I mean

#

at the end of the day

#

assassination does more ST damage than sub

gaunt moat
#

Yet Sub ST is also not bad

gusty mirage
#

the reason you'd play sub instead of assassination

#

is so you're not useless on adds

#

lmao

gaunt moat
#

They say for shields too

ebon notch
#

sub is just better all round imo

gusty mirage
#

oh for sure

#

it's the better spec in a lot of situations

ebon notch
#

since the ST of assa is nice for sure, but its just not a huge part of the boss in the grand scheme of things

raw raft
#

you just play the single target sub build on raz?

ebon notch
#

no

#

you play aoe with more ST talents

#

no tornado, shadow techniques

#

only one upgrade

gaunt moat
#

I just feel like i'll be a mediocre sub at best.
Aweful sub at worst.

gusty mirage
#

yea

#

I mean I look at the droptimizer

#

aint much left in the tank to get lmao

I seen cev talk about this but idk what for. is it for raz shield or something?

balmy condor

that's sub in m+

drifting cloud
#

its sub lol

slow marsh
#

i knew that

drifting cloud
#

oh the tech well its simple like I said intermission1 = hard

#

sub = 15mil dmg in there

slow marsh
#

but really i have seen cev talk about dropping one point in RC for lethality or something idk its probably just me being dumb

drifting cloud
#

assa = 8 maybe

#

its just standard sub build, you dont need extra range on rasz

gaunt moat
#

Are servers up yet?

weak isle
#

No

ebon notch
#

But only in sims

#

Cause hitting that one anima charged CP was impossible

#

So dropping a point for RC was smart

#

Are log reviews still a thing if people have time? wowanalyzer says I missed a few things but I don't think that would make up my dps diff from my sims

ebon notch
#

Which things were you missing

true rapids
#

I missed 5 good shiv casts and overcapped 200 total energy with thistle

#

at least according to wowanaylzer

magic vine
#

thats a decent amount of damage on the table

true rapids
#

is it 20k worth?

#

i sim at 80k but best I have been able to hit is like 70

magic vine
#

same consumables/buffs?

pearl mural
#

is it normal for people to have 1 piece of crafted haste/mastery instead of crit/mastery

true rapids
#

missing the monk debuff, but same consumables and such

gaunt moat
#

for starters, sim yourself with the same buffs you've had in raid, so you'll get a closer approximation

green juniper
#

Mfw at work wont be able to see my vault for a long time

gaunt moat
#

they've updated maintenance to be 5 hours 🥲

green juniper
gaunt moat
#

In any sim type, scroll down to sim options
and you'll see this:

#

Most times you won't have an augmentation
and probably not all raid buffs

true rapids
#

ya re-simmed and im still 18k under what sims say I can do

#

in the meantime I know to just not miss what wowanalyzer says I missed but wondering if there is anything else glaringly wrong

tacit otter
#

sims are not a one-to-one representation of the real game, only take it to compare gear. dont hang yourself up on reaching those numbers

true rapids
#

well I don't want to green parse anymore so I need to fix something

tacit otter
#

as long as your decent ilvl and click buttons every gcd, there should be no reason that you could not hit blue parses or higher

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/

gaunt moat
#

not entirely true.. but anyway his point is he asks how to get better.
Missing a few shivs won't make 18k difference.
But as he said, reaching exactly what you sim, is almost impossible either.

still, 18 below that, might indicate you can optimize your rotation better

split grail
#

Oh nice wowanalyzer is active again

tacit otter
#

maybe you can try simming training dummy and trying to reach it on a dummy, so you can get the rotation down

I can usually AT BEST reach 5k below sim

tacit otter
#

18k can mostly be a rotation error or? that seems way too much

true rapids
#

I can reach about 5k below on my target dummy sim

tacit otter
#

thats fine imo

#

kill time on bosses also play a big part in reaching those sim numbers

true rapids
#

hence why I am wondering if I am making some big fuck up it's terros not the most mechanically intensive fight

#

How do I check for windfury totem on logs?

true rapids
#

should be in buffs

gaunt moat
#

Under buffs

formal cliff
#

thought so

#

not getting it in my raid

#

Do i need to be on the same group as the shaman?

gaunt moat

We don't even have a shaman or monk 🥲

tacit otter

Don't have a monk also

Thank you @balmy condor

you have to give ToopleTheNun credit, hes responsible for that afaik

balmy condor

yah

im not sure if whispyr has anything to do with that ^^ (outside of giving input etc)

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

I told him all the things it needs to track

#

I didn't implement it

#

so

if the rules don't make sense

you can blame me

Seems like based on wow analyzer best things I can do are increase my uptime on boss and slightly improve energy usage + envenom efficiency

#

Anyone mind confirming

gaunt moat
#

26% of time not casting anything?

#

how'd that happen

tacit otter
#

its eranog, he probably has to afk for some time if hes not running to the middle in intermission

frozen turtle
#

Guessing during wait between phases

#

But seems like that’s best thing can be improved

tacit otter
#

just sprint to the boss, and cloak as soon as the adds come near so you dont get stunned

How do you check your ability usage in logs? Trying to see if I'm doing the new opener correctly

Looks like I've got it. Who would have thought added Exsang back in would completely change everything

#

I guess people who know what they're doing lol

grim jay
#

Exsang doesnt change much

waxen pulsar
#

Idk I feel like Exa does help

#

Using the exa opener, and it feels like exa with puzzle seem to allign well sometimes

slow marsh
#

Well considering exsang + puzzlebox are both 3mins...

waxen pulsar
#

I kinda just go garrote slice garrote rupture echo puzzle rupture vanish garrote exa dm evis tea shiv

waxen pulsar
feral rivet
#

It shouldn't ever be

slow marsh
#

Well the open you laid out is wasting a couple seconds of puzzlebox for no real reason. Just macro it to exsang

balmy condor
#

why would it desync

waxen pulsar
#

Isn't puzzlebox channeling for like 1 sec tho?

slow marsh
#

Off gcd yeah

royal lantern
#

2sec and hasted iirc

north basin
#

Is it any gain to add tea to puzzle before exa?

waxen pulsar
#

Wait, so

#

Should I macro it to exa?

royal lantern
#

you cant?

waxen pulsar
#

I didn't know you could

royal lantern
#

and you should not?

balmy condor
#

!pb

waxen pulsar
#

Yeah I was thinking about that. It does not work like that

balmy condor
#

!puzzle

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
waxen pulsar
#

Yea so basically my opener from above

#

Puzzle box and exa

slow marsh
#

No

#

Lol

#

Your opener above isn't that

waxen pulsar
#

Wait what am I not getting

#

OH WAIT YEA

royal lantern
#

yo whisp, you think with the nerfs we got today voing Full ST on kurog is probs the play? adds die faster now and stuff

slow marsh
#

Yeah there you go

waxen pulsar
#

I did puzzle before rupture mb I saw

#

Yeah, I am at work rn. Had this from my mind

#

So what I need to do is puzzle right before exa

slow marsh
#

Yeah

#

Set your bleeds up, get any haste benefits, puzzlebox, exsang, profit

waxen pulsar
#

Hmmm so it would be garrote slice garrote rupture echo rupture bone vanish garrote puzzle exa dm envenom shiv tea

#

And manic

slow marsh
#

Yeah you won't have guzzle that soon but seems good

#

Also a small note you don't want to shiv right into a channel trinket

#

You're wasting seconds of shiv by doing so

waxen pulsar
#

Hmmmmm

#

So after shiv play a bit of the rotation, THEN manic

feral rivet
slow marsh
#

Ehhh I'd just manic then shiv after is more my point but it won't be relevant in the opener anyways

waxen pulsar
oak pulsar
#

wait so whats the fight length foe when puzzle on cd is better 10 min raz?

slow marsh
#

69s

#

If you would lose a cast is the general answer but raz has shield stuff so kind of depends I guess

nocturne current
#

Lol nice that they nerfed Kurog, we were constantly getting 4-5 seconds of mini enrage.

feral rivet
#

We 4healed Kurog on reclear yesterday (eu but didnt full reclear til dathea died) and it died so fast then since we didnt have to kite first intermission to wait on CDs, gonna be interesting to see what Kurog and Dathea are like now once we get back there

Dathea nerfs prolly mean you need to change the dunk timings quite a bit too not spawn too soon

agile gull
#

Question, why are we not going for 3points in zoldyk after the talent changes? (in the raid setup)

royal lantern
#

cus other talents we pick instead give more dps?

agile gull
#

let me change it a bit: do we know the breaking point (fight/exec length) when it is stronger than other choices

balmy condor
#

we do not, because that situation does not exist

#

kinda weird trying to optimize for something that you will never encounter

royal lantern
#

what would you drop for that 3rd point zoldyck

#

and then, how much would you lose by dropping that

grim jay
balmy condor
#

no way

#

well

#

3% in full execute

grim jay
#

See, my spidysenses told me so

balmy condor
#

Tbf some terros top logs last week had 3x zoldyck poison dtb tho

ya i was just double checking trinkets cause my 408 controlled current was getting to be my lowest peice and was looking for replacements and saw that a new trinket had popped up and could be a 10 item lvl upgrade +w/e

#

but my guild killed mythic sennarth tonight so 421 is back on the menu

grim jay

#

I have a crappy 372 world quest trinket I need to replace but idk if I want to use a spark for a trinket I'll use for a week or two before replacing

i have a 395 whetstone in bag tho, that might be upgradeable later on

Still havent seen another whetstone after that of my DH mate

yeah both trinkets are super rare

i did finally get a whetstone

and it has leech i think

yeah whetstone might be good for rasza thats true

hey idk if this requires a full log thread but does anyone know what can give envenom a large dps disparity between 2 similarly geared sin rogues?

steel ridge
#

shiv usage

#

amp stacks

lament warren
#

do you have amplifying poison up

oak pulsar
#

hmm that could be it and that could create something like a 3k overall disparity in the same fight with the same exact number of casts?

grim jay
lament warren
#

if you don’t have the poison on yes

oak pulsar
normal olive
lament warren

then it can be a lot of factors

Dagger

#

If mh

slow marsh
oak pulsar
#

ok thats what i thought

slow marsh
oak pulsar
#

i will say analyzer has been useful in seeing i cast finihsers low on cp more often then i thought

slow marsh
#

Well then there's your answer

oak pulsar
#

i dont think so cause i only casted low cp envenoms 2 more times then my counterpart did

slow marsh
#

And what was the difference

oak pulsar
#

3k

slow marsh
#

So if they crit one of two of those, that's like 120k dam

#

Versus your low cp envenoms

#

I think you're way too focused on this though. It doesn't really matter that much

#

There's so many other things that go into it other than envenom casts

oak pulsar
#

maybe idk this has been a consistent thing for weeks tho and has been driving me nuts i have several item levels on him and often we will litearlly only be apart in dps by nearly the exact amount his envenoms do more then mine i have been trying to dig and find where im fucking up and its just been so fruitless that i dont even know were is a good place to start trying to get better at this point

balmy condor

yep

oak pulsar
balmy condor

it's the only way to socket them

bronze crane
#

yep! used one in my flaring cowl

vast goblet

Ty; had a rough vault

balmy condor
#

sockets are really good tbh

#

I wouldn't feel bad about a socket at all

vast goblet
#

No defo; just other things would be nice

slow marsh
#

I might get a socket just cuz my vaults so far are rat vaults

#

I have normal tier head and a trinket I can pick but I probably bank a socket for next week's vault

sweet dawn
#

So I can get a heroic grieftorch in my vault, OR a good ilvl ruby whelp shell.... but idk if it's worth me going double on use (Puzzle box + grieftorch)

raven knoll
#

get rid of puzzle box 😄

peak bobcat
#

Don’t do that

#

Very worth going double on use

normal mist
raven knoll
#

That trinket makes the rotation feel shitty

normal mist
#

And morning peeps

sweet dawn
#

I don't mind the puzzle box because in the opener it felt fine after a couple practice runs

#

and in combat I just use it before DM/Exsang comes back so I'm not wasting time

raven knoll
#

Thats a lot of channeling with grieftorch and puzzle box

sweet dawn
#

idk why I said about the double on use thing, I've been using double on use the past couple weeks (heroic Storm eater's boon and puzzle box)

#

Channeling doesn't bother me

raven knoll
#

the grieftorch is prolly the best choice

feral rivet

yes bis

still is shity

do you guys socket Crit > Mast in your Lariat or Mast > Crit? Cause of the effect when it procs - do you want it to proc crit or proc mast? 🙂

grim jay
raven knoll

I just said it feels shitty. I like my assa better with Controlled Current Technique and Windscar Whetstone. It's just more enjoyable. I would never replace Windscar with Puzzlebox. If I wanted to channel something for 2 seconds I would play Mage.

royal lantern
#

you act as if mage has 2sec casts

#

lol

#

and not all instant cast while moving kekdog

You literally only feel 1 sec.
But whatever floats your boat I guess 😁

And whatever the name of the manareg is kekw

raven knoll

Evocation?

Yes right

Which you need to fully channel bcs talent

Which some specs can cast while moving

I know its bis for most classes but i dont see many sins running it

box+torch is better

and torch has value when people die

but mythic icon by itself is better than heroic torch with 0deaths iirc

balmy condor
#

that seems like a bit more than "not many"

"Always wear a main stat/crit gem. These are unique equipped and limited to 1." Should i ignore the faq and follow raidbots top gear sim? Says i should go 100% green gems.

royal lantern
#

im still optimistic ok

#

df was a win, i have SOME hope

#

that they wont go full stupid again

balmy condor
#

there is ZERO chance that it's blizzard giving us MEANINGFUL CHOICE (equip the 3 gems that do the most dps until they nerf it and you need to equip the other 3 gems that do the most dps)

royal lantern
#

and then we have 2slots embelish gear, 4slots tier, 3slots shity sockets and blizzard be like "raiding is a good way to get gear"

#

might aswell remove all raidloot that is no weapon, tier and trinket allready right now

grim jay
#

#

The sockets can proc on tier only

#

So you have to get tier item + sockets

#

Everyone rolling like crazy on tier tokens

except

grim jay
balmy condor
#

we know it doesn't

#

cause this exists

grim jay
#

It was just meaningless blizzard memeing dracthyr_sip

raven knoll
#

I think the sockets are great. At least there is a way to upgrade my character further after it is full BIS.

royal lantern
#

as if you ever reach that point lol

raven knoll
#

Ok but I dont count waiting for vault as upgrading my character

grim jay
#

Might aswell be a item for 10.1 that just got roughly implemented already, no ? starege

royal lantern
#

but thats how you mainly upgrade your character?

untold crag
#

i am new to retail and im running Mythic+: Arterial Precision from Faq but i can't run this ability? i really liked it has 3 stacks and good dmg

balmy condor
#

correct, you don't have the points

#

be like that

raven knoll
#

yes but if you have 14 out of 16 slots 421 the chance of getting an upgrade is really low. Thats just wait a week and see

untold crag
#

so when i run arterial im going to be weak on solo targets right?

balmy condor

but good on aoe
