not as easy as it sounds

#

most guilds have 2-3 rogues

#

plus why did i leave? at least here i have people to do stuff with. starting over woudl be rough

#

esp for m+

subtle tundra
#

What makes it impossible to play m+ with the same people

#

You change the people you raid with

grim jay
#

You dont need to stress over it. Just see whats available from time to time, people are bound to stop playing.
You meet new people there aswell and you dont need to stop playing with your old pals just bcs you switch

#

Ye

thorn crater
#

i mean im essentially carrying the raiding team rn as sin which is sad XD the only hc raz kill we got i did 14k more dps than the second person

#

if i left i think there would be some grudges ngl

#

i dno we'll see

grim jay
#

I mean

#

They are to blame if you carry the raid

thorn crater
#

last week they gave eranog ring to a new trial

#

i was SO mad

Thats a good starting point to gquit

Leaving my old guild was the best decision since sending off my ex gf

#

phial of tepid or phial of elemental chaos for raid ?

#

Whats your guys thoughts on arterial precision on this rage affix week?

#

Worth or is the dmg loss from dbt too high

turbid heath
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
royal lantern
#

lol

#

its never worth it to lose THAT much dmg over something that is not really needed at all

steel ridge
#

wdym, its fortified and raging. if theres any week you can actually play AP/IC its this week šŸ˜„

#

sure you lose boss damage, but gain alot of AoE potential

proper tapir
#

You're also going to lose some cleave damage if you are holding shiv for soothes. Just play DtB, no body wants us for soothe.

shrewd night
#

Imagine losing so much dps for a talent that dispels enrages, but every mob has to be enraged at the same time for it to work optimally.

steel ridge
#

you also dont need to soothe primal council

shrewd night
#

Yeah, primal council is also a very valid comparison to mythic+, right?

#

Super smooth my guy

steel ridge
#

if its good on 4 continuous targets, it cannot be that bad on 4-8 targets and smoll bosses

proper tapir
#

Yikes.....

#

and -1,58% in the simulation that doesnt have huge pulls is not that bad is it?

agile breach
#

Is assassin better for raid than sub?

#

Not really

#

hi all, im new here šŸ™‚

magic vine
steel ridge
#

i think dropping exsang is very reliant on your gear aswell

nocturne current
steel ridge
nocturne current
#

So what's the -1,58 you're talking about?

steel ridge
nocturne current
#

Sorry, AP over DTB

#

DTB's just too good in every scenario.

steel ridge
#

so whats your point?

#

its right there in whispyrs sheet, dropping DTB for AP is -1,58% in dungeon slice

nocturne current
#

AP's still not worth it, specially considering how the simulation is built. I am not even sure if it's actually blowing the 10 stacks it's building rotating targets.

steel ridge
#

are you rotating targets based on amp poison stacks?

nocturne current
#

So you'ld have to ask Whysp how it's built, because if it's just standard single target without target swap.

#

Well yeah if your targets are stacking up to 10's you would want to switch target and blow the stacks.

steel ridge
#

are YOU doing that?

nocturne current
#

Ofcourse

#

Build naturally stacks on other targets with Fans and then blow them all up with envenom

steel ridge
#

whispyr said yesterday he isnt even tracking it

#

i know i am certainly not

nocturne current
#

Like the thing is tricky because if you take less time to generate 10 stacks before you build up 5+ combo points it doesnt matter to rotate targets because its the same if you keep in single target or not because by the time you envenom the target you are on has 10.

#

But if you're like in a situation where you're getting 5+ from FOK, and the other targets have 10 amps, I just rotate around them, faster than building stacks

steel ridge
#

sounds complicated

nocturne current
#

Its a bit, basically it's just about, can you build the finisher, faster than you build 10 amps.

#

And I only do this if it's less worth it than just spamming crimson

rugged jewel
#

Top gear links on Whispyr's simulation sheet are broken 😦

nocturne current
#

If I have like 8+ targets I just spam crimson. With exception if I get blue combo point because that's likely to trigger poison bomb instead.

#

If I have like 6-5 or so, I let crimson up, and just blow every mob it gets to 10 amps.

#

If I have fewer like 3-4 or so, just stick to one target with crimson up.

oak sky
#

Pretty sure you can just do whatever and do the exact same damage

nocturne current
#

Yeah I don't think the difference is going to be that huge. Although I find keeping both envenom up all times alternative with Crimson to be the best output.

#

But going back to the point, it depends on how the Sim is build, but I think it's just a single target only, non-switch applying on cooldowns.

steel ridge
#

its more placebo than anything

nocturne current
#

Hmm I don't think so man also based on one thing.

#

The higher the mob count in DTB, the higher the output you get.

#

With AP you're full limited to 4-8 targets.

#

man Arterial Precision is so jank. It gives you bonus bleed dmg for no reason so it makes you wanna go IC for the multigarrote interactions, but you also really wanna gonna down the tree towards DTB to make use of the nature dmg from mod from shiv. The fact that we have 2 capstones focused on aoe in different situations (4 and 8 mobs) and were still mid at both is just sadge.

cobalt hemlock
#

if you go elusiveness should you just spam feint on any dmg window?

sudden canyon
#

still costs a gcd innit?

slow marsh
#

welcome to the conversation that's been ongoing for like over a month now xD

#

AP is trash never use it

cobalt hemlock

#MakeKingsbaneGreatAgain

sudden canyon
#

but the multi soothe sounds like it should be valuable

oak sky
#

Just use it when you know theres a big damage event coming with elusiveness

#

Has the benefit of working on targeted damage and bleeds

#

Super nice

#

Do people not use putresence? Just shocking disclosure?

devout prism
#

it's annoying to go to the altar of decay to craft em, and in my experience does not do that much damage

storm belfry
#

Isn’t it more damage than shocking disclosure?

royal lantern
#

shocking disclosure is uncapped aoe dmg

#

putresence, idk what it even is

limber lion
#

it also happens on your person

#

so you can move freely around with the effect happening

#

you don't have to aim it at anything

storm belfry
#

Yeah Ik that. Just in an ā€œargumentā€ w someone. I think disclosure is better but was wondering if putresence pulls ahead if mobs could stay in it

hey can someone recommend a SIN build to run and learn on broodkeeper mythic if on boss duty, ive checked logs and most of them seem to be hitting adds every now and then, and they dont run exang

Sup guys I'm supposed to do soak on Kurog tonight and was wondering how long it takes to do the full soak? Do i need to precloak or should I go in and take a tick?

Not sure how long it takes and how much dmg it does hence why im asking

Can I post a log here for review?

sour elm
#

So I’ve been maining outlaw so far in the xpac but my guild really needs more boss dam for raid. I’m pretty much all into crit/vers at this point but I do have good trinkets.

Will bring heavy crit vers hurt me a lot if I swap sin for raid?

spice spire
#

Shouldn’t too bad

My damage is pretty poor on terros so I feel like there has to be something I'm missing. I think I did things okay mostly but I did exsang my last death mark on accident here lol but it seems low enough that I'm probably making other mistakes also. Does anyone who has time to look notice any glaring issues here ? Thanks in advance

raven knoll
#

Sorry my bad assa is really good for 1/8th of a raid

slow marsh
#

assa will almost always be "good" for boss damage in raids

#

that doesn't really change

pseudo hamlet
#

Joined casual SBG +21 for the easy weekly done just in case(don't know if I will have enough time for M+ this week). 3,4k resto druid flamed at me for not choosing Arterial Precision and not dispelling enrage throughout the dungeon.

ebon notch
#

i mean it is raging

#

kinda gotta help out where you can

runic hinge
#

I was thinking of trying the ap ic build this week.

#

But I figure if I’m not shiving on cd is taking ap worth it just in case it lines up with raging?

raven knoll
#

Arterial is kinda meh in m+ Iove when other classes tell you what to do

balmy condor
#

It would be so awesome if ap would’ve gotten any tuning at all after it got announced

#

Instead of like ā€œhey this kinda sucksā€

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

And then 0 buffs

ebon notch
raven knoll
#

ok

gusty mirage
#

so you're insinuating

#

by your message

#

that it's acceptable that a healer should expect someone to int their ST damage

#

to "help with soothes"

ebon notch
#

in a dungeon it is rarely ever a single target situation

gusty mirage
#

oh true

ebon notch
#

where you have to soothe

#

you are almost always in a pack

gusty mirage
#

you're right

#

you should play AP

ebon notch
#

and in aoe shiv is a dps loss

gusty mirage
#

good call

ebon notch
#

never said that

#

but at the end of the day if my tank dies cause i didnt feel like soothing

#

then thats just is how it is

gusty mirage
#

lol

#

you're bringing up a situation

#

that wasn't even the original message you responded to

ebon notch
#

he was in a 21 sbg

gusty mirage
#

he got flamed for not playing AP

ebon notch
#

wdym

#

fuck ap who cares

gusty mirage
#

????

ebon notch
#

that druid probably doesnt know shit about rogue

gusty mirage
#

obviously the guy who flamed him?

ebon notch
#

the soothing part was more important

gusty mirage
#

3,4k resto druid flamed at me for not choosing Arterial Precision and not dispelling enrage throughout the dungeon.

#

insane

ebon notch
#

yeah

#

not dispelling enrage

#

being the key component

#

no?

gusty mirage
#

not really

sudden canyon
#

true bet you didnt even run double shiv

gusty mirage
#

because the guy opened the talent tree

#

and didn't see AP

#

and flamed him

#

for not "soothing enough"

ebon notch
#

there's clearly an information gap there imo

#

did he not soothe at all?

gusty mirage
#

idk

ebon notch
#

or was it just not "enough"

gusty mirage
#

you're assuming he didn't

ebon notch
#

cause no AP

#

yeah

gusty mirage
#

bold assumption

ebon notch
#

cause is a plausible inference

#

not rly

#

but then thats my opinion

#

so

gusty mirage
#

what's the plausible inference

raven knoll
#

What does AP have to do with sooth

ebon notch
#

it makes your shiv aoe

#

to 5 targets

keen spruce
#

if you have a druid in your group, even if you don't play double shiv you have enought sooths for a 21 sbg lol

ebon notch
#

so you can soothe multiple targets

sudden canyon
#

im assuming they used shiv for dmg only and only used it to soothe when they got lucky and it was a dps gain

ebon notch
#

with one use of shiv

sudden canyon
#

he just like me fr

ebon notch
#

but there is room for more information

gusty mirage
#

the fact that the guy even mentioned AP makes that a very weird assumption

ebon notch
magic vine
#

whats your overall loss in a sbg to run ap?

gusty mirage
#

if the druid mentions AP, he's bothered by not enough soothes

ebon notch
#

i mean

#

who knows

#

maybe some rogue told him

gusty mirage
#

3.4k io druid

ebon notch
#

"ap is aoe soothe"

#

and he ran with it

#

thinking its mandatory

gusty mirage
#

figured he'd know to use his brain

#

see how assumptions work?

ebon notch
#

yeah

#

so?

gusty mirage
#

you have to have some sort of ability for critical thinking if you're able to get above 3k io, no?

ebon notch
#

either one of us could be right

sudden canyon
#

in a fort week just let someone else be the single target pumper of the group. ur never gonna do primo sin single target with IC anyways

i need a weakaura that show a big glowing tricks icon when you get near the small adds in the p1 intermission cause our tank cannot get aggro on it and i forget 1/3 pull to tricks

no no weakauras are for frogs

i don't have as many on the assas one. still working out what to put where

Can’t you just Macro tricks into something? Not 100% ideal but better than forgetting entirely

how many times have you seen intermission

#

idk like 50 maybe?

ebon notch
#

you could honestly make a timer based weakaura that puts TRICKS on your screen when you get there

#

wait you've been to the intermission

#

50 times

#

and you havent remembered to tricks yet?

#

have you had one death guaranteed per intermission?

deft vault
#

no lmao i never pressed tricks before last night and we didnt have a single death to aggro

#

and last night we had a ton for the first time

prime zealot
#

do we want to use exsang only together with DM? basically the question is, do I hold every second DM to go together with exsang?

keen spruce
#

you hold exang for DM

#

not the other way around

just pretend puzzle box and exang are 4min CDs

You’d run into energy regen issues with 80% haste

if your'e not runnin exang then take a point out of imp poisons

Best moment for me was when they started with the safe stairs shit discussing how to do it,
first option rdds:
"Yeah melees cant deal damage for 10s, whats the big deal?"
Second option rdds:
"WE CANT DEAL DMG FOR 3s, HOW IS THAT AN OPTION"

#

Meanwhile rdds nowhere to be seen on meters

#

Cant remember what the tactic was as I still moved up late tho

balmy condor
#

My rdps did that too

grim jay
#

Are most of them not performing aswell ? 😁

vestal wren
#

our evokers and warlocks rarely perform well, not sure if its the class or the players

balmy condor
#

because BM is stupid dumb

oak sky
#

(Thats a lie)

grim jay
grim jay
#

Boomies average aswell, class aint even complex in any stretch of imagination

vestal wren
#

evokers seem to play "melee" a lot more than they need to

torn atlas
#

Our devoker often somehow manages to be 2nd dps after the dk and makes me feel small and weak.

jade abyss
#

How good is dk in general m+ / raid?

grim jay
#

Its pretty good in m+

#

And good in raids

flint gulch
#

UH DK i guess?

grim jay
#

Frost is good in m+ aswell

#

Stronger than uh in 10.0.7 if nothing changes

I do like my 2h Frost

Unholy DK is freaking button bloat in a nut shell

jade abyss
#

Googles bloat peepostudy okay but he have diseases and the best pet in tha game

flint gulch
#

and where is the considereation for people that have issues with button bloat?

balmy condor
#

oh boy this again

jade abyss
#

Idk never had problems with buttons bcs i have enoughstarege tbh dont understand that people at the beginning from df they say "OmG Assa so many buttons now what have they done???" 🫣

royal lantern
#

the consideration is "play bm/mm hunter/arms or fury warrior/evoker"

royal lantern
#

cant deny that

#

to many abilitys that are just USE ON CD TO DO DMG

jade abyss
#

What is it 3 buttons more? Exsang maybe bonespike and ic?

thorn crater
#

shiv is on cd

jade abyss
#

Only thing thats annoying for me is to push idk 6 buttons to start with blasting

thorn crater
#

ye i think the only button "issue" (if even that)

#

is what you need to use on opener to get shit going

#

then its chill

jade abyss
#

I played a lot rts maybe thats the reason why im notice not to much

#

Assa opener feels okay i guess but when i look to sub kekman looks like piano

flint gulch
#

I guess im just annoyed that over all the years i play games acessability still isnt a higher priority in Online games . And dont mean just make things strait up easier

#

I woinder ive i should switch to a control scheme like lost ark has moving with the mouse if thats even possible?

#

even with having a 7 button layout on my mouse i still have trouble doing my rotation while having to move at same time.

shrewd night
#

People legitimately complaining about having to press 6 buttons as an opener have never laid eyes on some FF openers

flint gulch
#

I did and never touched FF14 again

gaunt moat
#

Our opener sequence is pretty hellish.
but i have no frame of reference compared to other classes

royal lantern
#

the only opener that is a bit more involved is gunbreaker

#

funny cus its a tank kekdog

flint gulch
#

My left hand has a shortend muscle so it has trouble with stretching and bending i fast sucession and well worse eyesight onn my left side.

Garrote > SnD > Garrote > SBS > Rupture > ER > Rupture > Exsang > Deathmark > (puzzlebox) > potion > Shiv > Thistle tea > (Mutilate > Envenom X 2-3) > Vanish > Garrote > Envenom > Garrote > Envenom

tbh, it took me a long time to practice it, and i still somehtimes fuck it up, just because there's so many steps to it.

flint gulch
#

how effective is moving via mouse in WoW compared to keyboard?

gaunt moat
#

keyboard is better at moving backwards 🐰

flint gulch
#

So it wouldnt be that big of a deal?

gaunt moat
#

and strafing.

#

basicsally mouse allows for only forward movement, unless you you have some special mouse keybinds.

royal lantern
gaunt moat
bright trail
#

Still fkd up seeing BM hunters with Bow smashing 2 buttons ST and doin 100k overall on terros

gaunt moat
#

(shiv doesn't have to be there, cause it hits powered CP anyway)

#

but that's also true to using sbs at the point you've said
it doesn't matter, cause you're hitting an empowered CP

#

so just using ER > rupture is good enough, it's always 7CPs before exsang.

royal lantern
#

ye

#

like, lets be honest

#

assa opener is "get snd up, get max duration bleeds and puzzlebox running, and then exsang->dm"

#

the excat order is not important lol

gaunt moat
#

you did use a different opener that uses vanish early, which i don't use, but other than that yeah.
it's just that the way to go about it, is filled with a million buttons.

#

it's about 22-24 actions opener.

#

that's a lot.

flint gulch
gaunt moat
#

Yes, they strafe to move backwards

flint gulch
#

i kinda wish there was a addon that gave me mouse ovement options like lost ark has

grim jay
#

That would be awkward af

flint gulch
#

The only other thing havent tried would require additional hardware it would be a ambidexterous mouse

#

Or maybe its time to switch main to a ranged class that doesent needs move a lot?

jade abyss
#

I know in ff14 there is it possible to move with mouseklicks but it sucks, bcs in lost ark you have no specific targeting you "aoe" everything

flint gulch
#

FF14 i played with controller but no way i can do that in WoW

pastel onyx

try dance pads

rotund wagon
#

Does anybody else think sin on council is kinda fun now with AP

#

Felt like Oprah with bleeds last night

royal lantern
#

you refresh bleeds for the entire fight and press shiv on cd

#

idk man

#

if you like that, im Happy for you i gues? personaly think its kinda stupid

rotund wagon
#

I like being adhd with my target

#

Feels more involved than like cleaving off one target

flint gulch
#

Does Outlaw require less keybinds than Assa? Since im messing around with a lot of different Specs and classes i might as well

royal lantern
#

rogue specs are equal with keybinds iirc

flint gulch
#

On sub i have less than assa i macroed everything i could

drifting cosmos
#

Yea that’s probably not the optimum way to play

#

Sub you maybe use 1-2 macro, then the rest are mostly situational that requires you to use separately

prime zealot
#

a lariat for assa and sub, do i make crit+mastery right?

drifting cosmos
#

Yes

flint gulch
#

As Orc do macro the Racial to Deathmark?

gaunt moat
#

vibe Cring

#

there's nothing "fun" about it, it's not noticeable and doesn't affect gameplay

keen spruce
#

it's more involved than most of the fights in the raid lol

#

no i just mean assas in general on that fight

#

AP just make number go up OH_peepoPoint

gaunt moat
#

we were talking about AP

keen spruce
#

i don't scroll

gaunt moat
#

i don't really like that fight as sin.
it feels like constantly playing catchup on dots, and it's very hard to track.
(But I'd admit i'm playing badly on that fight too)

#

And you're doing all that just to be below average dps.

rotund wagon
gaunt moat
#

I wasn't saying don't take AP if that's what you understood

rotund wagon
#

Not what I got from it at all. I like the mini game of trying to keep everything going on all the bosses way more than having one target and cleaving off it. But before AP I couldn’t justify to myself playing sin on the fight. With AP though I don’t feel I’m trolling as hard anymore.

#

Getting bleeds goin then pressing a button to make ā€˜em all go brr is fun to me

static glacier
#

sin unironically like 8/10 difficulty on that fight while sub is 2/10

rotund wagon
#

Yeah, that’s what I like about it. Having way more to do and then managing to pull it off halfway well just feels more rewarding to me

static glacier
#

I play sin on a lot of fights bc I value having more boss dmg since I play with people who really like to aoe

#

feels like sin helps killing the boss more easily, even if dealing less overall in some cases

rotund wagon
simple flower
#

does anybody actually like using bone spike?

static glacier
#

yeah, it's a good button

#

one of the most useful buttons for dealing with spawning extra low target count adds

#

stuff like kurog big adds, dathea adds

royal lantern
keen spruce

lots of execute value as assas

Then once the icd for second on use is done use grief

cause I rarely am xd

spice spire

Yeah

I mean if your CDs line up you’re chuckling

I pop on pull but then I decay and get passed

#

when I get a second deathmark I go up again a bit but not much cause no box or exang

#

I might be doing something wrong

but I also feel like everybody else is just better at everything now than sin

our st dmg isn't bad in key spec

it does. but only because without it you feel the lack of energy gen.

we are pigeonholed into seal fate already and since it's so far down there's not really any reason not to take it

warped pilot
#

folks I have a really dumb question that you're gonna laugh at but I have to ask to sanity check myself. in full raid buffs I'm often sitting at high 30's crit which means that more often than not mut is giving me at least 3 CP each cast. is there ever a world in which I envenom at 4 to avoid wasting CP. I feel like no, but I have to check because I'm an idiot.

grim jay
#

max cp -1

#

is when you finish

#

always

#

except if you are on animacharged cps

#

and inside of the opener sequence

alright, that's what I thought, but I just had to ask to keep my peanut brain from overthinking it. thanks!

What does Dark Brew do again?

Poison bomb is the key to fixing ass rogue. nodders

Put PB into the capstone for the left side of the tree. Make it a tad bit stronger/larger. Now all enemies gain a PB debuff when envenomed. This debuff lasts X seconds, and makes it so when The player has at least 2 (maybe 3?) targets near each other that have been envenomed. They can shiv to drop a poison bomb at their targets location (has to have the debuff).

I have no idea if this would be fun or good i just wanted to talk about an idea haha

There. Are you HAPPY now?

yes actually

if you get pigeonholed into doing only ST damage

you should prolly be pretty good at it

no?

at least better than the classes that bring utility?

like frost mage?

No, you will be outdamaged by beast hunter

that didn't make it live

the entire ret aura concept is so stupid

gusty mirage
#

any restless crew enjoyers?

dreamy gull
#

They should just make sepsis broken that would actually be cool

gusty mirage
#

I mean

#

as long as it competes with bonespike

#

it'll lose

#

bonespike gives us a lethal dose stack

#

which is infinitely better than an empowered garrote every minute and a half

dreamy gull
#

I mean

#

Every rogue spec has it

#

And 0 play it

gusty mirage
#

yeah because for some odd reason

#

blizzard never figured out what to do with it

#

after they "fixed" it putting us into stealth

#

the benefits of sepsis never did shit for rogue

#

the only reason it ever hit the radar of any play

#

was because the night fae soulbinds were just better in 9.0

#

and then later on when they giga buffed the conduit that made it slap hard + the covenant legendary

#

file it under the "neat idea, executed like shit" category

dreamy gull
#

Fw should be moved I think

Idk there's a lot you could do with the trees
