ANYWAY

slow marsh
#

No its the opposite

#

My brain is fried

marble hemlock
#

okay and?

#

they still get PI+Autumn

#

man

#

getting 5 PIs and Autumn

#

and he does

#

3mil more dam

#

insane

burnt latch
#

well even looking at non external logs even then the best arcane mage beats every public assa log 65 to 0

#

maybe all public assa logs are dogs or sth idk

loud silo
#

this is wild

marble hemlock
#

maybe the greyparsing 0-parse assa rogue in your guild does, ye

burnt latch
#

LOL flaming ppl who arent even involved in this

#

classic seli

slow marsh
#

Flame me

#

I need the juice

marble hemlock
#

i mean, id like an actual source other than "my butt"

#

arcane mage basically does

#

same dam

#

as assa

#

and once we remove

#

actual shield dmg

#

theyre getting beat by like

#

10 specs

#

but hey, they can do great burst with a 200% damage amp. sick.

burnt latch
#

yeah, but the best arcane mage without externals does more damage than the best assa rogue without externals, unless theres some unlisted logs that im unaware of

oak sky
#

you would weight it so shield damage= damage right

#

like

#

.5 shield damage

burnt latch
#

isnt it .333 shield damage

marble hemlock
#

5 PIs isnt externals?

burnt latch
#

oh was that the wrong log sec

oak sky
burnt latch
#

too many tabs open

marble hemlock
#

but hey

oak sky
#

bottom line is weighted damage

marble hemlock
#

once we remove shield damage

#

he already gets beat by 2 people in his guild

burnt latch
#

i was meant to show the frostytips and lissmage guy

marble hemlock
#

i mean they look even worse on non-absorb damage

#

arcane is great for popping shield. but its also great for popping shield early, which is a waste if healer CDs are planned for 18/20/20 seconds of stormsurge

#

cuz that dmg could instead go into boss HP

#

im not saying arcane is a bad spec, btw. its definitely one of the best for raszageth raw boss damage

burnt latch
#

it goes into boss hp tho, the timers are dont start rolling after shield break (apart from 3rd shield since it insta phases almost immediately after that)

gaunt moat
#

what do you do for shield as sin btw
talking about heroic for now
i kinda save CDs for first one
then on 2nd i'm pretty dry

burnt latch
#

so the faster u break a shield the more time u have to do damage on the boss

marble hemlock
#

DM on 1-3, whatever else you have on 2

#

so usually like

#

puzzlebox+DM on 1, grieftorch/shiv etc. 2

#

but you just do regular singletarget

loud silo
#

i tend to grieftorch the second since i have nothing else

#

but if you dont have grief then thats not an option

#

what seli said

gaunt moat
#

grief benefits from the damage amplification?

loud silo
#

yes

#

all damage

marble hemlock
burnt latch
#

the timers do continue rolling through the 1st and 2nd shield tho, unless im extremely wrong

marble hemlock
#

so the play would instead be to prolong the shield just enough to be fully covered by healing CDs, and have your CDs clip into the post shield phases where it goes into the boss HP

gaunt moat
#

my logs on rasz are really god aweful. I've only done it twice, once with pug and once with half guild/alts
but like.. 31% sadge feelscryman

balmy condor
#

did you shiv on cooldown

burnt latch
#

its only the 3rd where the timers arent set in time

loud silo
#

idk how much add phase makes a difference but my logs arent great on it either

#

and i do like

#

fuck all to adds

gaunt moat
#

i did terros heroic, and checked a comparision for shiv
i only missed 1 cast this time 🙂

balmy condor
#

improvements!

marble hemlock
marble hemlock
#

so breaking early is just a waste of DPS if you couldve used less DPS during stormsurge and more outside, because as long as healers can keep up, you wanna extend shield and just do more dam to boss HP instead

balmy condor
loud silo
#

tbf i sit on shiv a fair but ive been pressing it on cd more often lmao

marble hemlock
#

but yeah anyway

#

i dont disagree that arcane is a good spec

#

but its carried by getting external'ed to hell in most guilds

#

rogue does quite a lot more damage to the actual boss

balmy condor
#

85% raz damage is basically as high as it goes tbh

marble hemlock
#

over half the damage mage does to raszageth in 65-0 is during stormsurge amps

loud silo
#

I'll look into being more effective with cds

#

after next raz if its still dogwater do you mind having a look?

balmy condor
#

yeh sure

burnt latch
#

will have to double check that again

balmy condor
#

basically just gotta kill fast, and pump shields

#

for heroic parse

marble hemlock
#

well the boss aint gonna do sparks mid-shield

#

or wave

#

it waits until its done

balmy condor
#

DM on pull, intermission, shield, shield, shield, intermission, dm last phase

loud silo
#

my highest is 71

balmy condor
#

you can actually see everything on the graph

burnt latch
#

yeah no im saying if u break the shield in lets say 19 seconds, the next ability would come out 1 sec after, instead of 11 if u broke at 9 seconds u know

marble hemlock
#

basically, we used to break 1st shield in like 12sec

#

and realized

#

thats a massive waste if we had Cds planned for 18

#

so we told people to use CDs early and get more damage on the actual boss

#

and get the shield to 16-18sec duration instead

loud silo
balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

and it got us like 2% extra boss damage

loud silo
#

since most of my pulls were with KB

#

then they changed it

balmy condor
#

I would try maybe dropping exsanguinate though

#

exsanguinate is cursed

marble hemlock
#

psure if id get PI during stormsurges and execute, id absolutely smoke every single arcane mage out there

loud silo
#

i dont like exsang rn tbh

marble hemlock
#

by a lot

gaunt moat
#

I know for sure i fucked up on rasz by holding CDs in both intermissions
also i'm still hesitant on using shiv while on full CPs

marble hemlock
#

and im not even a good assa rogue

balmy condor
#

you get it for every deathmark in heroic which is fine

#

and it sounds good

subtle tundra
#

i really thought you were smart

balmy condor
#

but then you realize it doesn't really do much otherwise

#

useless in intermissions and on third shield and shit

#

just idk

#

feels weird

marble hemlock
#

but its just the arcane mage/demolock attitude, they think that all the externals belong to them and then they do good damage and they see that as justification they should keep getting it, even though other classes would shit on them if theyd get it

loud silo
#

hol up lemme have a look

marble hemlock
#

but then theyd do tank damage cuz their class is designed around getting those externals for whatever reason

balmy condor
#

but rn I'm deathmarking pull, first shield, third shield, execute

marble hemlock
#

and thats not good either

balmy condor
#

intermissions are just praying for poison bomb procs

#

no cooldowns in intermissions

#

they won't be up

loud silo
#

i got 4 deathmarks in 8 mins

marble hemlock
#

ye you cant DM in intermission, it wont be up for first shield

gilded parrot
#

In dungeons do I want to use exsang on cd or pair with DM only?

loud silo
#

thats what 3 exsangs?

balmy condor
marble hemlock
#

the way raszageth on mythic works out, you only get 3 exsangs, ye

#

probably similar on hc for most

gilded parrot
gaunt moat
#

yeah but in intermissions i see my dps 📉

marble hemlock
#

1 on pull, 1 in first shield, 1 in execute

loud silo
#

unfortunately im still stuck on sennarth

#

because every fucking pull

marble hemlock
loud silo
#

the same 3 people get yeeted off the side

#

best is like

#

16%

balmy condor
loud silo
#

20 seconds before all my cds came back up

gaunt moat
#

telling me welcome to assassination, cringe.

balmy condor
#

just play IP in mythic

#

idk

loud silo
#

only four DM tho

marble hemlock
#

i actually think that you can technically get 4

#

if you pop on boss the moment she lands in p2

#

and shields last ~20sec each

loud silo
#

wait no thats good ye?

balmy condor
#

you should get 4 dm's yeah

subtle tundra
#

i experienced too much black powdering on rasz, i dont think i can go back to assa

balmy condor
#

pull, shield 1, shield 3, execute

#

exsang isn't up in time for shield 3

marble hemlock
#

so yeah, if shield damage is fine you can get 2 exsang/puzzlers in P2 instead of 1. still only 2 DMs ofc

#

just gotta pop the moment p2 starts

#

our P2 lasted from 4:23 to 8:13

loud silo
#

wtf was i doing here lmao

subtle tundra
#

vanish for ss but you forgot your spec

loud silo
#

my bad there we go

marble hemlock
#

thats not looking much better

burnt latch
#

hmm @marble hemlock im comparing a random log from you guys to a random log from us and it seems like the ability right after stormsurge seems to happen after x amount of time for both of our guilds, even though we break shield at slightly different timers

marble hemlock
loud silo
#

ye i know

#

im not sure

#

but i think i used it

#

as the boss went immune

#

lmao

marble hemlock
burnt latch
#

which would from first glance make me think the timers are set in stone no matter when u break the shield unless im missing something else (like weakness or something spell queing the boss wrong)

subtle tundra
#

idk rasz felt very underwhelming, like nothing to omega optimize its all a dance

marble hemlock
#

so you get first wave x seconds after first shield etc.

#

then first bombs x seconds after first wave

subtle tundra
#

get p1 and first intermission right and then nothing matters

burnt latch
#

hold on let me link u these logs rq

marble hemlock
#

thats what you just said

burnt latch
#

so u can double check mby im reading these wrong

marble hemlock
#

despite different shield durations, boss casted next ability x seconds after shield broke

#

which means timers start when shield breaks

burnt latch
#

no i meant boss casted next ability x seconds after shield cast

#

sry must have miswrote

#

check the boss casts and shield break timers from these

#

mby im reading these wrong it is a bit early for me so i might just be dumb

loud silo
subtle tundra
#

no

#

wtf

loud silo
#

?

subtle tundra
#

those adds die

#

regardless

#

you'd rather have it in bl + execute

#

afterwards

loud silo
#

then i would only get 3

burnt latch
#

time between first shield cast and next ability after that seems to be 29 seconds in both logs, but u guys broke the shield in 15 seconds and we did in 17 seconds

subtle tundra
#

do you want to kill boss or have a bit better log

loud silo
#

i want a better log?

#

thats the whole purpose

#

of this convo

subtle tundra
#

alright

loud silo
#

ive already killed the boss

subtle tundra
#

you do you

feral rivet
#

3rd DM would be on 3rd shield

#

If you get a third shield, not guaranteed on heroic

loud silo
#

i swear it was still on cd

#

i am talking heroic

subtle tundra
#

oh

#

you do you buddy

feral rivet
#

3rd shield is 2min after 1st

subtle tundra
#

dm in p1 intermission or whatever

#

then

loud silo
#

maybe im just dumb

#

and didnt notice

spare crow
balmy condor
#

Third DM is second shield

#

Sorry

#

Third

burnt latch
#

time between 2nd shield and ability after that seems to be 26.5 seconds in both logs even tho we broke in 16 secs and u guys in 18

balmy condor
#

DM is pull, shield 1, shield 3, last phase

loud silo
#

looking at it i did use on third

#

but the boss was like

#

3 seconds away from dying on the 4th

#

so i need to improve my play inbetween that

#

also didnt have a food or flask on 🙃

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

Still a 90

#

I don’t think it’s that bad

marble hemlock
# burnt latch time between first shield cast and next ability after that seems to be 29 second...

well, the logs show that shields are cast 80sec after one another, and just looking at the vod from our kill, it seems the other timers also keep running. so timers are set for every mechanic when phase starts. so i was wrong on that part.

it doesnt change the fact, however, that pushing more dmg during shield isnt gaining you dmg on boss if it means you do less outside of shield. you still do the same overall DPS. mage looks good on overall boss damage because they do so much of their overall during their CDs, and since that means theyll have a higher percentage of their overall DPS output during the amp, they look good on meters.

they basically allow others to do more damage by breaking the shield faster, but you could replace an arcane mage with a class that does less damage during the shield but more outside, and if they did the same overall dps (pre-amp) as the mage, youd still do the same damage to the boss

spare crow
#

So you think it's the fight length's fault.

#

mh

balmy condor
#

I mean it’s a part of it

#

Your ring are dogshit, your puzzle box is a low ilvl

#

It adds up

loud silo
#

outside of exsang we only use ER charged cp for envenom yes?

balmy condor
#

Doesn’t matter what you use them on

#

As long as you use them

loud silo
#

ah okay

marble hemlock
#

i found mage to be incredibly underwhelming on raszageth, after it was hyped up so much. yeah it can carry shield damage, but so can 5 other specs with better survivability and more damage in the other phases, cuz mage is kinda deadweight in the intermissions

subtle tundra
#

shield dmg is overrated

burnt latch
#

yeah fair enough, i thought i had checked this during prog too and was starting to 2nd guess my sanity

marble hemlock
#

its basically this

#

remove 10mil from the mage, it'd just be added to all teh others and make no difference as long as the shield doesnt last longer than what your heal CDs cover

subtle tundra
#

i was literally pressing shadow dance on cd during prog, didnt even get it for every shield

spare crow
marble hemlock
#

its why calling smth "really good boss damage" on rasza is difficult, cuz youd have to basically take their shield damage, multiply it by .33 and then add that to their non shield damage to get "realdps", and thats the only thing that actually matters for pushing boss dam

burnt latch
#

the more precise way of checking the p2 damage would be this I guess

#

making a custom weight for shield damage

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

basically do

#

absorbeddamage > 0, weight 0.33333
and add it with
absorbeddamage = 0

burnt latch
#

ye i just did it with spell id to stormsurge but p much same thing

marble hemlock
#

and mage wouldnt look any better than 10 other classes at that point

#

assa will also soar in boss dam once people get more damage on rasza in p2

#

cuz right now you get fucked

#

cuz you pop BL when boss is at ~40%

#

so you dont get full set of CDs with BL during execute

weak crescent
marble hemlock
#

at least assa has other value

#

like pumping stormfriend damage in 2nd intermission

burnt latch
#

lusting nowadays is giga awkward

#

u get lust like 50 seconds into p3

#

might start lusting p2 or sth idk

#

kinda defeats the purpose of being able to afk and blast at the start of p3 if u cant have lust straight away there

#

might be more value to lust as soon as both teams r on p2 platform

#

but idk how well u time the boss w/o p1 lust

marble hemlock
#

ill be perfectly honest, i dont understand why people think sub is so great for rasz

oak sky
#

i definitely think its a good all around spec

marble hemlock
#

only thing its good for is 1st intermission

#

its a good all around spec that is better than another spec of the same class in one out of 5 phases

burnt latch
#

it helps with intermission, now the boss' dps check is even more of a joke so boss dam loses a lot of value

marble hemlock
#

and even then its only better if you need more people on red

#

sub feels useless in 2nd intermission, all it does is red aoe slam

#

and it does less st in p2 and p3

#

(even accounting for the shield)

#

does less stormfiend damage

#

personally i think its the other way around. sub was great when guilds didnt have 10+ grieftorches and needed the instant bang from cb/sectech to pop herald shields

burnt latch
#

p2 intermission is less about damage tho, the adds kinda just die anyways its more about getting the CC on point

marble hemlock
#

now that every guild kinda has more than enough trinkets to deal with shields without needing ww/sub/mm burst, those specs are less valuable than before. but thats just my opinion

burnt latch
#

well sub does so much aoe in p1 intermission that it allows others to do less which i guess means playing the fight safer

#

u can have your hunter go full ST bm and go red side etc

#

idk just a solid spec

marble hemlock
#

theres definitely value to all the specs, thats for sure

#

just gotta see what you struggle with during prog, and play whatever spec helps with that the best

burnt latch
#

ye

marble hemlock
#

but ye basically the play would be

#

to not pop CDs insta on rasza p3

#

but wait for boss to hit 35

#

BL is still running ~25sec at that point for us

#

so i wasted a lot of dam there

#

good to know for next week

burnt latch
#

we got lust in p3 when boss was like

#

just above 30%

#

so ud get another set of 2mins

#

wouldnt get 2nd set of 3 mins no matter what

#

so i guess u just hold every time if u play two or 3 mins

marble hemlock
#

might depend on whether you fast-push p1 and how long 2nd intermission takes for you

#

we had BL when boss landed in p3

burnt latch
#

we fast pushed p1 yeah

#

before the last winds

#

#5 i think

marble hemlock
#

we do too

#

weird that you didnt have BL on p3 start then

burnt latch
#

yeah idk where we made up that time

#

we got the #1 speed log

marble hemlock
#

probably 2nd intermission

burnt latch
#

probs fast p2 intermission + early phase p1 + fast 3rd shield break

#

that would probably add up

marble hemlock
#

but ye boss took full dmg in p3 at 10:12 for us

burnt latch
#

we were a bit under 10 secs faster than the next guild

Is it worth crafting a 2nd Crafted 418 Dagger, because I have a 405 in offhand...or should I go and Craft 418 Wrists because I got 402 ones with a Socket.

weak crescent
#

but 13ilvl on a dagger should be way better than 16ilvl on wrists :P

Also Valor cap being removed soon means those socket wrists will be able to upgraded easily

Lol I figured that

Yea that’s the problem i@ having with the tanks

#

oak sky

it doesnt actually end up being that big of a deal to chain

#

chaining is actually decent because you go into new packs with energy from the previous mobs

and potentially scent of blood ruptures

That makes sense.

@balmy condor is that something you might have kicking around?

know that

balmy condor

#

That’s fair. I found an early one from week 2 or something and sin was number 3 behind UH/evoker but I figured APLs and stuff wasn’t done yet

balmy condor
#

APL’s don’t really fix pi values

#

It just means it can be automated by things like bloodmallet

storm onyx
languid moth
#

Yeh that’s the one I found too. Sin number three not too shabby.

#

Having a debate with gm about PI targets lol

balmy condor
#

yeah but what are the chances you don't have an unholy dk

#

or a bm hunter

#

or a devastation evoker

languid moth
#

We do have a Uh but that’s alrdy covered. PI number 2 is the debate

#

No evoker

balmy condor
#

I see

#

yeh for most groups it's like

#

if you're not immediately top 3

#

you're fucked

languid moth
#

Well basically what’s happening is we’re shifting the Healy priest pocket Pi to Uh for his 3m

#

We have a shadow priest as well

#

And they’re going on 2m like they’re supposed to

#

So I’m making the case for it to be on Sin vs Mage specs because of the Pi alignment timings

balmy condor
#

I did sims for my guild to see which person the pi would be better on

#

and I lost to the warlock, evoker, hunter, other warlock, and a mage

languid moth
#

They’re just like put it on the fire mage

balmy condor
#

and then they fucking die on prog and I get it anyway

languid moth
#

And I’m like for the pull maybe but then they get it outside of combust thereafter

#

Vs Sin who gets it for every DM because it aligns to SPriest Cds

balmy condor
#

I think you definitely make the case for execute pi

#

outside of execute though

#

seems suspicious

storm onyx
#

ours goes to UDK/Hunter on opener, Rog in mid, Wars on execute...

languid moth
#

The problem is having issues with it being dynamic lol

#

And trust me, the bet is not Hunter for us

#

🤣

#

It’s unfortunately not a this spec or that spec in our group as you can see

All specs are not close to the same pilots

rocky ruin
#

so the m+ build now takes carnage and dtb, so do we run deadly instant or deadly amp?

#

was looking at the guide and it only mentions non-lethals

marble hemlock
#

Do you talent into Amp poison?

rocky ruin
#

yea thats what guide does

marble hemlock
#

Would you do that if you didnt wanna play that? 🙂

rocky ruin
#

its either that or 2 seconds longer envenom

#

i mean, i guess not, ive just heard that amp is bad for aoe

marble hemlock
#

Well, it's the same damage as instant for AoE, yeah

#

There's a section in the FAQ that's dedicated to it

gaunt moat
#

yeah, that part of the FAQ is not updated though

marble hemlock
#

So in the case of DTB, just play DP+Amp always

rocky ruin
#

yea not updated

#

but i see the point

marble hemlock
#

Wdym not updated?

rocky ruin
#

it says we dont run amp poison

gaunt moat
#

he writes that we don't take amp

rocky ruin
#

in 99% of situations, which we do run now

gaunt moat
#

i told him about that, he said he should he fix

marble hemlock
#

It's also written as if we only play 1 poison. But we play 2. 😛

#

So if with one poison the choice is between DP or Amp, with 2 it's not a choice.

#

The important take-away is that they all deal the same damage, and 2/3 poisons have a bonus effect, one of them doesn't.

gaunt moat
#

does wound poison work on sanguinar affix? 🧐

#

(not that i would take, just curious)

marble hemlock
#

Ye

#

Also works on the shield of first boss RLP

gaunt moat
#

How does it affect the shield?

marble hemlock
#

Reduces the total value of it

#

At least that's what I've been led to believe

gaunt moat
#

I'm not sure that a shield counts as healing recieved.
Would be weird if it does.
But who knows how they programmed it..

marble hemlock
#

I mean, it literally works like that in PvP

gaunt moat
#

But if it reduces shield by 24% that's seems really good

#

On high keys

marble hemlock
#

But yeah anyway, its second hand knowledge so

#

They typically make bosses immune to it, after the Jailer debacle

gaunt moat
#

Maybe i can find a key to sacrifice for testing

#

Or just m0, probably easier Cring

lament warren
#

wound poison is only worth it

#

like

#

on very high sanguine

marble hemlock
#

even then

lament warren
#

and i don't think it's worth it for sin at all

marble hemlock
#

just have tank

#

not be ongo bongo

lament warren
#

i mean

marble hemlock
#

Ye I agree

#

for outlaw/sub it makes no difference

lament warren
#

i had yoda tanking and we still had infinite sanguine right

#

affix just sucks

#

theres so many lieutenants

#

for outlaw/sub it's 100p worth swapping poison between boss and trash

#

but i think with 4pc and so many talents that amplify your poison damage on sin

#

you just aren't allowed

#

iron wire is the tradeoff

marble hemlock
#

Yeah idk, we never struggled with sanguini when we played so I never saw the need for it

#

But I guess if its an issue, then swapping is def worth for sub/outlaw

lament warren
#

ye

#

i pulled a random log

a few weeks ago

I'm having a hard time using Exsang correctly in M+, I don't think I'm getting good value out of it. Only om the bosses because I'm afraid if I use it on trash it won't be up when I need it (my bad planning).

I still really want Iron Wire though, that's been a huge help for my group, so would it be crazy to take Master Assassin? Is the drop off for that so big?

royal lantern
#

iron wire is like, the 1 thing assa has over the oither 2

royal lantern
#

dont overthink exsang in m+

#

slam on cd on a add you want to die slightly faster

#

and on bosses use it like you use it on raids

icy iron
#

I just send it in to the Mob i think should die first / has the most hp

#

I guess i kinda use it with the same mindset as Deathmark? On trash in dungeons at least.

slate scarab
#

For Exsang I understand you don't want to deathmark before it because it will shorten your deathmark, but can you deathmark right after it, or do you need to wait for the sped up bleeds to be refreshed to normal before doing DM? I don't really understand that mechanic.

eh quick q. does Master Poisoner increase value of Atrophic Poison ? or is it static 3% regardless?

#

I remember early talks when it was still in Beta that it didnt affect it

#

but didnt ask since then

#

and assumed they didnt change it

royal lantern
#

like

#

atrophic is a meme anyway

dreamy gull
#

Atrophic is good only in raids right

#

Cause you can't numbing the bosses

gaunt moat
#

it's like 3.6% instead of 3%

muted ridge
#

you can numbing

royal lantern
#

numbing means less dmg on tank

muted ridge
#

if you have two rogues one runs atrophic and other runs numbing

oops hail already answered

gaunt moat
#

to put it into context
if you get hit by boss for 150,000 AoE
3% would be 4500
times 20, that's 90,000

it's not nothing.

royal lantern
royal lantern
#

like, its a weaker devo aura cus it doesnt work on everything and drops off when you have longer downtimes

gaunt moat
#

I think the tone of what i wrote didn't come out right.
it was an ironic it's not nothing

#

even 90k for whole raid is like what.. one healer cast?

royal lantern
#

it does add up over an fight, but not a very big thing

#

its litearlly just "devo, but way worse"

gaunt moat
#

yeah, hence the it's not nothing.

but like, i doubt 4000-5000 health would save you from dying to getting hit by something that would kill your otherwise
usually mechanics that wipe, have enough damage to one shot

royal lantern
#

like, healers are the only ones where leech actually does anything

#

for dps/tanks, leech is such a troll stat

gaunt moat
#

for exmaple, Kurog's Searing Carnage (dance with fire)
deals almost 600k damage

#

why is leech good for healers?

royal lantern
#

it triggers on heals aswell

#

so they need to heal themself less often

#

5people drop inculding themself? they aoe heal into the group, and leech will top themself aswell

#

and dont need to use bigger heals on yourself

#

like, with 10%leech you never really target yourself as a healer anymore

#

This is a general question so maybe wrong channel but can bosses still parry if I hit in the face rather than in the back? Sometimes I get weird interaction where it seems like my abilities goes off and global is triggered but no combo points are awarded so I have to for instance mutilate an extra time.

quasi ledge
#

Yes they can

heady island
#

Would that happen then? That I don’t get my CP

lusty surge
#

I believe dungeon bosses don't parry unless they're also raid bosses

Like Odin I guess is the only one this season

But raid bosses parry afaik

spice spire
wary ice

Dungeon bosses do not parry full stop, I'm pretty sure

I could be wrong but I swear general kaal or whatever from sanguine depths parried

I'll have to check ig

But I'm willing to be wrong here

i know for a fact that raz can parry

quasi ledge
#

99% sure you don't get the energy back. But you just don't gain/lose the combo points if it's a generator/finisher

except ones like sennarth and terros

Done it 2 times now

Do u guys have your tanks move the bird from the edge or does it stay there

We had the bird moving towards middle with us

its being moved

thats why i think its doing that

# earnest imp Done it 2 times now

Just step earlier. Boss does a breath in the last second of winds 3 and 4, so if you try to "minmax" you step after she turns to do breath

burnt latch
#

I think he is talking about last winds tho

#

#5 i think it is

#

never had that issue on those

marble hemlock
#

Cloak it?

burnt latch
#

thats one option

#

but it shouldnt do that anyways

marble hemlock
#

1 cloak
2 double step
3 gate
4 double step
5 cloak

burnt latch
#

i personally wanted cloak for intermission

marble hemlock
#

What for

earnest imp
#

ahhhh

burnt latch
#

to stay in shit to kick or to cloak bolts

fathom viper
#

Ugh, I feel like I ask this question every expansion because I'm so paranoid it changes. Is Zoldyck's currently affecting Envenom damage? (I assume yes)

marble hemlock
#

Most guilds starting progression won't be able to skip fifth winds yet

burnt latch
#

never had the boss push me other way

marble hemlock
#

Last winds depends on what the tanks do

#

If they move the boss closer to middle then it's gonna turn around

#

So stepping usually doesn't work. That's why cloak is great there

burnt latch
#

but the boss is turned and moving when I step there and it works fine, I think the issue is if the tanks dont move the boss

marble hemlock
#

If people bait correctly in intermission, you won't need it there, especially if you play assa, cuz you won't be on red

burnt latch
#

but instead only turn it

earnest imp
#

oke tried ur thing seliathan

#

was a lot better

#

then what i was doing

#

good stuff, thanks a lot

marble hemlock
#

Only thing you gotta pay attention to is 4th winds, if you do the second step very late you might yeet yourself off

burnt latch
#

yeah that one ive fallen off too

marble hemlock
#

Yeah i used to gate on 2 with everybody else but it was kinda sucky

#

Meant i only had 1 step for 3 which blows

earnest imp
#

ye i did that too

#

double step on 4th felt good

#

only with bigger downtime was the gate one

brisk lodge
#

question, why dont we play double shiv talent in single target?

marble hemlock
#

Yeah but you can throw SBS there and barely lose see dps

marble hemlock
earnest imp
#

is it better to minmax on the double shadowsteps?

#

is it a bigger difference delaying it a bit

#

for some reason it feels i end up closer by not delaying

#

which doesnt make any sense

mint marten
#

stupid question maybe, but how do I account for the ability i choose on the ruby whelp trinket when simming trinkets?

timber basalt
#

In raidbots its a drop down in the options where you select buffs and all

marble hemlock

So minmaxing DPS is kinda pointless

Wait, general question; can you cloak Hurricane Wing pushback or does it just make you immune to damage but you still get pushed?

magic vine
#

you can cloak the pushback yea

#

if you have the twirly trinket you can use that too (though its not as useful later on in the fight)

loud dome
#

is anyone else doing the mage tower

#

i'm doing 2.6k but i'm hitting the enrage

ebon notch
#

step first and then gate

#

cause they havent started moving the boss yet

#

when i step

#

and the gate lasts long enough that you get pushed into the middle where you dump sparks

marble hemlock
#

Yeah

#

Or just cloak

#

Using gate on 5 means you gotta gate on 2 as well, which sucks, cause as assa you then only have a single step on 3 and are out of boss range for 4-5 seconds

#

So if you really wanna have cloak for intermission, and there's no reason to do so, you would have to
1 step
2 gate
3 cloak
4 double step
5 step+gate
