Mine is 417

subtle tundra
#

Luckily I have a 380 feral with 2pc,even more luckily I don't feel like playing the game

gaunt moat
#

my is.. level 46 😆

spare crow
#

Specs gotta be enjoyable to play first and foremost

#

that's my take

#

playing with 2 less talent points is not very enjoyable

subtle tundra
#

Buddy never changing our class tree is not enjoyable

spare crow
#

also being forced down a single buildpath cause they throw random nerfs out of the blue defies the purpose of this new talent system

oak sky
#

find weakness, nightstalker, lethality

spare crow
#

lethality doesn't even proc on shadowstrike crits does it

oak sky
#

nope

spare crow
#

yet another bullshit

storm onyx
#

Or MA, couse Assa might get dance ….

steel ridge
#

dance in classtree is and has always been hot garbage

spare crow
#

wow dance assa sounds so dangerous for the meta!!!

#

Whatever can we do!!

steel ridge
#

that was established in beta and is still confirmed

spare crow
#

^^^

steel ridge
#

the only person that likes dance is guy

#

for whatever reason

spare crow
#

Should be baseline for sub and the 2nd dance point should belong to sub tree

#

right class tree wing full rework

#

i'm down for it

oak sky
#

like it does function on outlaw

steel ridge
spare crow
#

^

storm onyx
#

I did some BGs with it and was fun, none expexts you to throw CS around, but pve ….

steel ridge
#

without FW you wouldnt take it

oak sky
#

i think outlaw would be fine without it but

#

its definitely valid to like having bad luck protection on a luck based spec

#

but i do think guy is really hard headed about the fact that its a problem for sin and sub

balmy condor
#

anyone have any smart ideas on how I can double my aoe damage without losing single target on raz

oak sky
#

whatever you do dont swap sub

balmy condor
#

thats the goal

storm onyx
#

If they had wanted Assa to care of class dance node, they would have made FW affect poisons or something spec isolated

oak sky
#

then it wouldnt really be fw

balmy condor
#

just L's

steel ridge
#

why is boon better on sub?

balmy condor
#

because puzzle box exists

steel ridge
#

so its the same, but box is worse on sub

storm onyx
#

Get 50 crit and pray for FoK crits?

steel ridge
#

100% pb proc rate

unreal bear
#

im late but god damn i love this

subtle tundra
#

Umm mmmmm whispyr

#

Play outlaw

#

🤓

steel ridge
#

banned

spare crow
#

it was on kurog or smth

#

and he was like WHERE THE F AM I GETTING ALL THESE CPs FROM?

steel ridge
balmy condor
# steel ridge so its the same, but box is worse on sub

I'm just gonna put numbers on it for the sake of argument, not the actual dps, but like if puzzle box is 10%, and grieftorch is 8%, you're gonna replace the grieftorch with a boon right.

But on sub, you got like incarnate icon or whatever, which is 6%, and grief is 8%, you're replacing the incarnate icon

#

so you're just straight up losing more for assassination equipping it

#

because you're losing bigger stuff in order to run it

subtle tundra
#

U smart

#

Play another class

steel ridge
#

i do get the concept, its just that boon itself is the same and i wanted to nag you RHlove

balmy condor
#

I'm nagged enough that I just pressed n, sub, left click

#

and doubled my intermission damage

steel ridge
balmy condor
#

I didn't have kick on my stealth bars

#

just so we're aware

#

of how prepared I am

#

to play sub

steel ridge
#

i saw you play sub on painsmith

#

you’re set

spare crow
past bobcat
#

Can't you just go sin and focus ST on the big ads that need to die

oak sky
balmy condor
#

and by the time I have the kick handled

#

and the dots up

#

the shield is already broken

oak sky
#

i mean tbh

#

theyll probably swap you back to sin anyways

past bobcat
#

I mean the ads arent insanely hard

#

sin damage will be insane on shields

#

on P2

#

and P3

balmy condor
#

sub damage on shields is good

drowsy creek
#

In a 6+ target situation, should I dump cps into crimson over envenom even if the targets are very compact to all get hit by poison bombs?

balmy condor
steel ridge
#

make sure ct is running tho

drowsy creek
#

The dps is similar then?

balmy condor
#

yes

steel ridge
#

and then change specs cause wth

balmy condor
#

you can spam CT, spam env, alternate them for all I care

#

it's all equal

steel ridge
#

protest

past bobcat
#

Nah I would stay Sin

#

The shield damage during P2 would be insane

#

and the execute?

drowsy creek
#

I guess it's easier to just spam ct

balmy condor
past bobcat
#

Have the sub rogue do it

balmy condor
#

that would be me

past bobcat
#

Is ur comp AOE or ST heavy? We have sub and sin rogue and are progging int and the sin rogue just goes full ST

balmy condor
#

we play BM and aff

#

so I guess ST

drifting cloud
#

yeah no shiot because you dont have a choice as sin lol

balmy condor
#

but it's 1 rogue

#

and I'm the rogue

#

and I play sin

#

and we struggle on intermission

#

and I swap sub for 3 pulls

#

do equal single target

#

and double the aoe dps

past bobcat
#

Could be just swap sub or swap someone else to sides. But yeah sub fucks on int

balmy condor
#

can't swap sides

#

cause they don't have dps either

drifting cloud
#

bm can do big intermission but costs alot of st

past bobcat
#

Do you guys still struggle when you swap to Sub

oak tangle
#

i heard shadow priest is getting a rework, they might be good for that fight

oak sky
#

the rework comes out in 10.1

wind dune
#

almost like it only takes 4 talent points for their aoe xd

drifting cloud
#

still 3 more than sub

steel ridge
#

Sub aoe is 2 points

drifting cloud
#

you dont play nado on rasz

steel ridge
#

imp storm

oak sky
#

sub rearranging 3 talent points to play exactly the same

oak tangle
#

just wait until assass has an entire rework, and still plays the same

oak sky
#

its not getting reworked bro

steel ridge
#

It plays a little different with the first dance

oak sky
#

yeah you switch the order of 2 buttons

oak tangle
#

i need to do the trick i'm trying to drip sarcasm but text things

past bobcat
#

Because if you still struggle even after swapping to Sub then it doesnt matter sin or sub

balmy condor
steel ridge
oak tangle
#

they'll remove shiv from the spec, and we'd still just hit it on cd and not play around it

balmy condor
#

here's a question

gaunt moat
balmy condor
#

how much do you think they need to buff shiv

#

in order for us to do more than press it on cd

oak tangle
#

i don't think shiv needs a change as much as the stuff around it needs to interact better

balmy condor
#

I'm thinking like 80% nature damage

#

probably does it

oak sky
#

we just need more passives that give slight gameplay changes bro

drifting cloud
#

sorry best I can do is 3rd shadowpriest rework

oak sky
#

thats about it i think

drifting cloud
#

in the same tier

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

start by baking in the bleed increase from AP as baseline

gaunt moat
drifting cloud
#

atleast guardian deserves one

oak tangle
#

and let it snapshot

oak sky
drifting cloud
#

the attention spriest is getting makes no sense

#

some guy on the board probably doesnt enjoy current iteration

oak sky
#

theyre just making it ranged outlaw

#

lmao

steel ridge
oak tangle
#

i should really type all my thoughts in one post. but adding in the bleed increase and allowing snapshot should go together

steel ridge
oak sky
#

literally

steel ridge
#

god no

oak sky
#

most ideas people have just steal from feral or steal from sub

#

nobody actually wants a unique spec

#

they just want everything perceived as strong on one spec

oak tangle
#

our class identity is literally built around empowering a bleed wdym

gaunt moat
#

Maybe if TTB wouldn't be a meme and increase nature damage further

steel ridge
#

TTB is supposed to be a meme

oak sky
#

ttb doesnt really do anything like

#

its just

#

shiv hit harder

oak tangle
#

poisons are flavour text, bleeds is the class

gaunt moat
#

hits harder, but still not close to blindside

oak sky
#

i mean idk

oak tangle
#

we need something that gives us a actual rotation window. (kinda how we have now with our 4 min exsang bs) but on a shorter cd than 4 mins. or some method to allow us to control our damage profile

oak sky
#

i would rather ttb do a houdini

oak tangle
#

what part of KB is a rotation other than saving shiv charges

oak sky
#

what part of exsang is a rotation other than clipping bleeds

oak tangle
#

ER > rup > van + gar > exs > dm

#

you literally have a preparing sequence and cast order

oak sky
#

dm>envenom>kb>shiv

#

you literally have a cast order

oak tangle
#

ok dude

#

👍

gaunt moat
#

with exsang at least.
otherwise there's not too much to do in it

oak tangle
#

Dm would be more interesting if it had a variable cd, and based on the time on cd it lasts longer or something

#

but yeah outside exsang, it's basically a fire and forget spell outside of vanish garroting

balmy condor
#

reapplying poisons during deathmark extends deathmark by 0.2 seconds

storm onyx
#

KB would need to count for that too

balmy condor
#

probably makes haste not a mediocre stat yeah

#

maybe then we can lob like 10apm off the top

#

and tell people to get haste

#

so they can cope

#

that haste increases apm significantly

#

wins all around

gaunt moat
#

Sure, if you also make WF a sin baseline OMEGAKEKW

99 problems with sin on the wall, 99 problems with sin, you take one down, you fix it around, 107 problems with sin on the wall

hi bois, wanted to ask - ive played outlaw till now, but for the last boss im gonna switch to assa or sub, so my Q is do you thing assa will be better, considering we only need boss dmg, since we have enough aoe for adds, esp how good assa is at last phase or stick to sub?

#

thx in advance

oak sky
#

if you only need boss damage assassination is probably a better choice than sub

#

sub is good on shields and p1 intermission

#

and p2 intermission as well i suppose

slow tulip
#

thank you 🙏🏻

drifting cloud
#

bold assumption thatyou will ahve enough aoe tho

gaunt moat
#

and sin will net you better execution

slow tulip
#

is the assa / sub gear interchangable? cirs mastery on both or ?

oak sky
#

mostly

slow tulip
#

cuz if so i can switch sub if we struggle on adds or smt

oak sky
#

vers is a little worse on sin compared to sub and haste is a little better

#

but still crit mastery

drifting cloud
#

its usually better to do otherway around, start sub and if youre somehow truly deleting i1 where you can swap and its not noticable

vestal wren
#

it is cit mastery mostly due to haste becomming worse in multi target

#

can be that haste has higher value in st than mastery

drifting cloud
#

but I guess the next set of nerfs might delete the phase because other than boss hp not even sure what they can even nerf anymore

slow tulip
#

i guess ill optimize / recraft the gear for assa in mind then

#

but will have to ability to play sub either

oak sky
#

crafted pieces will still be fine as crit mastery

oak tangle
#

i'm telling you, make DM like old monk ToD / Totm

slow tulip
#

i have like 7 crafted items for law - crit vers

oak sky
#

oh right you came from outlaw

#

might be better as crit mastery then for sure

#

for both specs

oak tangle
#

assa / sub is pretty much identical stats, crit / mast assa, mast / crit sub

vestal wren
#

crit is always main stat for the spec

slow tulip
#

thank you for the info - was really helpful

#

😛

vestal wren
#

all 3 specs do want a high amount of crit first

gaunt moat
#

i thought outlaw was vers

slow tulip
#

crit > vers ye

royal lantern
#

aka crit is bis

gaunt moat
#

ah, that's true

vestal wren
slow tulip
#

is there a treshhold for how much haste is good for assa ?

#

is needed*

vestal wren
#

but:
subtlety/outlaw: haste is rly bad
outlaw: mastery can be good but still seems to be fairly bad
assassination: even the worse stat is not extremely far behind

vestal wren
thorny aurora
#

Wish outlaw was crit mastery as well 😢 so I wouldn't feel guilty playing it

vestal wren
#

you could sim it, mastery isn't a terrible stat

winter gale
#

I feel like I am doing something wrong in my rotation, some small difference from what should be done and I am losing dps. Or rather, I cant push dps I should with my gear. On Terros I am doing 73-75k, isn’t that fight as close to a patchwerk as it can be?

#

And I am simming 89k

#

That difference is huge

#

I cant find out what, nothing I can think of

#

I should shiv into envenoms, right?

#

And always have Energy OR Tea for those situations

#

I also refresh Garrote+Rupture insta when Vanish/DM is ready

burnt latch
#

Post a log and someone will maybe have time to look at it

#

Hard to say anything without knowing how u press your buttons

winter gale
#

No matter how long existing one is

#

Will do

oak tangle
oak tangle
winter gale
#

Was there a page for that, I think too many ppl were posting logs

oak tangle
#

whilst if they line up you do use it, you should not beholding for it

winter gale
#

So I do wait for existing garrote+rupture to tick to their usual refresh timers and then refresh + DM?

oak tangle
#

you want to dm on cd, and you would probably refresh garrote, but there is no need to refresh rupture

winter gale
#

I do refresh garrote with vanish I

#

But then rupture can go normally?

#

Ok, thats a thing

oak sky
#

just dm when it comes up and refresh bleeds when they need to be refreshed

#

when vanish comes up instantly refresh garrote

winter gale
#

Ok

#

I also never use shiv if i am without cp builded

oak sky
#

just send shiv

#

shiv on cd always

#

its ok to try to preplan and have combo points going in

#

but if you don't you can just use it

winter gale
#

Usually i delay for sec or two to make it be 5th or 6th cp

#

Y

#

And I feel not ok if shiv is used to spend on refreshing rupture

oak tangle
#

Link a log if you have

winter gale
#

Will do

oak sky
#

its also ok for shiv to not be 5th or 6th cp

#

always better to use shiv so you don't end up losing casts by wasting time

oak tangle
#

A lot of the time I use shiv as a way to reach a low anima charged cp

oak sky
#

yeah that works as well

winter gale
#

I appreciate the help guys, I am aware I am doing small mistakes, mostly few of them which in summary ends up with me losing dps

#

This is one of the pools, dunno was it before opener changes

oak sky
#

bro

#

dont exsang your deathmark

#

DO NOT

#

that bricks your damage

#

hard

oak tangle
#

do you usually use puzzle there in opener? and yeah you should swap thsoe 2

winter gale
#

I exsang before dm

oak sky
winter gale
#

Most likely I messed that up in the opener, I know it’s exsang 1st

oak sky
#

yeah thats ok

#

but it definitely lost you a ton of damage

oak tangle
#

i am unsure if it did, but you may have overwritten your garrote here

winter gale
#

Oepenr is not a problem usually 😂, that was pure mistake I did and am a aware of it

oak sky
#

yeah no worries with that

oak tangle
#

depends if vanish got ripped by a dot

winter gale
#

One garrote on vanish is enough?

oak sky
#

yeah you want to vanish then immediately garrote

oak tangle
#

no it's more cause of the time between the dot ticks from terros might have started your subterfuge early

winter gale
#

I ALWAYS vanish 2 garrotes for 6cp into rupture and then DM

oak tangle
#

it's 3 seconds from vanish dissapearing not from the garrote

oak sky
#

or in pandemic

#

like theres no need to force refreshes

winter gale
#

So I jusy plazy and press DM

#

Vanish garrote if aligned

oak sky
#

you vanish garrote whenever it comes up

winter gale
#

And rupture when its needed

oak sky
#

then you dm whenever it comes up

#

and rupture as needed

winter gale
#

Ok

oak tangle
#

you can double garrote, like it is nice cp gen, but in that particular instance i think you would have lost the garrote buff for the second cast

oak sky
#

but before exsang, you always want to garrote and rupture

winter gale
#

Yes

oak sky
#

so like here you didnt garrote

#

shouldve had a garrote leading into exsang

oak tangle
#

oh, also save exsang for 4 mins

#

not on cd

winter gale
#

There I also didnt align 2nd exsang on 4th min

oak sky
#

i mean yeah

#

technically you miss a cast if you dont exsang on 3 mins though

#

so if you know you get another cast at 6 mins you can exsang+puzzle box

oak tangle
#

also with your puzzle usage

#

use it before rup or garrote or after deathmark

winter gale
#

I use box before dm

oak sky
#

also your deathmarks are coming up like really late

winter gale
#

Yes

#

Bad

oak sky
#

i think you actually lost a cast

winter gale
#

So box after

oak tangle
oak sky
#

a good rule of thumb is always exsang and puzzle box together and sync with dm

winter gale
#

Yes, I was using it on 3min for a while and then Whispyr told me not to when we spoke here

oak tangle
#

you damage is loaded into dm and exsang, so you don't want to desync the time between them too much. your dot duration also directly effects exsang, so you dont want to puzzle inbetween dot applications and pressing deathmark

oak sky
#

outside the cd stuff it doesnt look too bad though

#

you didnt lose any shiv or er casts as far as i can tell and your uptimes look good

winter gale
#

To sum it up, for DM I do not refresh, just use it and then Vanish/Garrote when it comes up. Shiv whenever ready, even for hitting those ER combo points. Refresh for Exsang though. Puzzlebox AFTER DM, align 2nd Exsang with Vanish/DM on 4th min unless we will be fighting on 6th minute.

oak tangle
#

is my opener on terros

winter gale
#

I garrote/SND/garrote/rup/ER/rup

thorny aurora
oak tangle
#

granted i haven't done mythic, but on that one in a 4 min fight i did 82k

oak sky
#

think theres a sbs in there somewhere as well

thorny aurora
#

sbs is after the last rup

oak sky
#

but switching snd and rupture doesnt really change anything

winter gale
#

Yes, sbs/vanish/garote/Exsang

#

I think

oak sky
#

yeah

#

thats it

#

your opener was fine besides the exsang

#

but i get it, it happens to everybody

winter gale
#

Yes, that is a known mistake for that particular pull, most likelz I ended up in pillars and fat fingered or something 😂

thorny aurora
#

especially on terros if you get a pillar during the opening

winter gale
#

I get 1st pillar 100% of time

#

But literally

thorny aurora
#

you're not doing bad dps considering you're not getting PI'd + that's a 6min kill

oak tangle
winter gale
#

I need to target dummy entire afternoon, maybe I will even pug HC today

oak sky
#

and its free damage

thorny aurora
#

(but i'm jealous of your windfury totem uptime, my enhance shaman is always inspecting the floor)

winter gale
#

Just to erase those bad habits from muscle memory, haha

#

Im a key spammer 😦

oak sky
#

all things considered i think you don't have too much to fix

#

shouldn't take too long

winter gale
#

Yes

#

Those are all minors

#

I can fonish the tier and not be the worst even like this

#

But I do want to play properly as much as I can ofc

oak sky
#

i think if you hadnt exsanged your dm by mistake your dps would've been really competitive

winter gale
#

Will bribe my priest for a PI

#

Where do we even sit atm?

oak tangle
#

4/5?

winter gale
#

I am always 1st on boss dmg, even on diurna where I am doing the eggs

oak sky
#

our st isn't the best out there but we're pretty near the top

winter gale
#

Or on Dathea where I am doing those platforms

oak sky
#

and when it comes to boss damage we just can't spec into aoe very well so we just end up not hitting adds while other classes spec for them which decreases their boss damage

#

thats why our boss damage looks good

winter gale
#

If not 1st then top 3

#

Yeah

oak tangle
#

i cope by filtering for boss damage on eranog

winter gale
#

We last night killed diurna

#

It took us 9:05

#

I m on egg route but 9:05 is the 4 exsanguinates

#

Nah, Im stupid 😂

oak tangle
#

you'd only get 3 in still

winter gale
#

3, y

#

3 ligned up ones

#

I will do that next week

oak sky
#

on diurna its always gonna be 3 exsangs

#

no matter what

winter gale
#

With these explanations it will be much easier

oak sky
#

so you always line up puzzle box and exsang with dm

winter gale
#

Yes

strange python
oak sky
#

pretty much the only timers it would make sense to exsang between dms is 6 mins or 12 mins

winter gale
#

Yes

oak sky
#

or like

#

6:30 and 12:30

#

more accurately

oak tangle
#

4 mins too

strange python
#

Am I being too high to do math or...930 too?

#

You would just desync last tho I think

#

Unless it's like, literally 4 mins, you stay sync

oak sky
#

yeah pretty much always sync though

#

its rare for it to make sense not to

winter gale
#

I assumed that with 9:30ish fight you just desync em all

oak tangle
#

3:15 to 4:05 i would send it on cd

winter gale
#

But yeah, 9:05 would mean boss dead with activ exsang or not even casted due to 1st be on 10ish seconds

oak sky
winter gale
#

All in all I want to thank you guys!

strange python
oak tangle
#

we need to stay strong as a spec

strange python
#

Whispyr had mentioned that the value of syncing 3 was higher than the loss of a desynced cast

winter gale
#

Really nice from you all to check and help like this!

strange python
#

But idk if any math was done

oak sky
#

make sure to come back if you have any questions later

winter gale
#

Stay well and stay strong!

How does assassination go in next seasons dungeons? and how what trinkets are we looking to grab

balmy condor
#

we'll find out in like 3 months when the patch actually comes out

#

10.0.7 isn't even on live servers yet for another 2 weeks

#

trying to talk about 10.1 is a waste of time at this point

oak tangle
#

yeah we might even have patch notes by 10.1

oak sky
#

One line of text would be nice

slim hamlet
#

Man can't wait for exsang to use vanish in 10.1

#

guys, how do you sync exsa and box with other cooldowns? or you dont sync it, you sync it in the opener and then you use them as they come by?

balmy condor
#

every 4 minutes with deathmark

#

you basically just copy paste the opener

faint birch
#

yeah but vanish and deathmark comes off 1 minute before the exsa/box, so you leave exsa/box up and wait for deathmark again?

balmy condor
#

yep

#

deathmark/vanish every 2 minutes

#

box/exsang every 4

faint birch
#

yeah

#

thanks mate

balmy condor
#

np

winter gale
balmy condor
#

you can just send it

winter gale
#

Good, ty

balmy condor
#

np

winter gale
#

And ER rupture before Exsang?

#

If it’s aligned*

royal lantern
#

yes

#

should be alinged by default

#

er is 1min cd, exsang 3min

#

like, you use ER every 1min anyway, it alings by default without doing anything

winter gale
#

Is ER rupture correct if its refreshed by non empowered combo?

#

Like, 5th or 6th CP

#

Or I use ER without already existing CP?

balmy condor
#

they don't align when you hold for 4 min

balmy condor
#

you can refresh them either way

#

ER combo points just count for 7cp

#

but the rules are all the same

#

just as if it's a 5cp rupture

#

or a 6cp

#

or any other cp

winter gale
#

If I have 2-3 CP before ER it sometimes goes to 5-6 CP, ones that are not empowered

#

If I am right

balmy condor
#

only 2-3-4, yes

#

your UI will show the slots as blue

#

those are the empowered ones

winter gale
#

If I use ER and then rupture with nonempowered CP is it okeish

#

Thats what I meant, IF you get me now

I mean yeah

winter gale

If not then its good again 😂

balmy condor
#

ER doesn't line up for the 4 min

#

when you use exsang again

winter gale
#

Great!

balmy condor
#

so you kinda have to use a 5 or 6cp rupture

winter gale
#

Less to think about

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

hot goblet
#

oooo

#

didn't realise analyzer had been updated 😄

royal lantern
#

you are trolling me rn right

balmy condor
#

no

#

it's been 45 seconds since it was added

#

it's never been 1 min

royal lantern
raven knoll
#

lol

royal lantern
#

my brain cant handle that information

balmy condor
#

it just so happens that 45 seconds lined up with 45 second exsang

#

and 3 minutes

#

is 45*4

#

so it still lined up

#

but now we hold for 4 min

#

and 4 min doesn't line up

#

cause 4 min isn't 45*5

hot goblet
#

Long and short of it is I missed a vanish and a deathmark I think :D. Still doesn't explain my dps is so low >.<

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

that's a pretty big loss

hot goblet
#

7% energy wastage as well. Looking at the rest though, it doesn't look like i deserve a 14% parse :D. Improved on last week though, so thats something

balmy condor
#

can you send the wowa link

hot goblet
balmy condor
#

I'll take a peak if it's missing something

hot goblet
#

I need to practice my opener more, and move my vanish binding, I know that much, always struggle to find it whilst running around for the first awakened earth

balmy condor
#

yikes that is some gear

hot goblet
#

Yeh I know :D. Working on that too lol

#

I guess on that statistics page, the DPS Percentage, is that percentage of theretical maximum?

#

theoretical *

oak tangle
#

have you heard of my friend mythic plus

hot goblet
#

I was pretty late getting started tbh, and only recently started doing 20s, then got sick for a couple of weeks, so my playtime went down a lot!

oak tangle
#

damn, but craft yoself a dagger mans

balmy condor
#

this is a sub-optimal opener technically, would try to start avoiding it unless you really need the timing

#

you also really should tea way earlier in deathmark

#

you also didn't pandemic your rupture before the next exsang

#

that's an issue

hot goblet
#

Thats a mistake on my part, I was messing with my macros this week, and forgot that thistle tea wasn't jsut energy. Been trying to avoid wasting energy with it, forgetting that it also increases mastery

balmy condor
#

but I think this mostly comes down to just kinda horrid gear and some misplaced cooldowns

#

I think the echoing reprimands you missed are of far greater concern than the couple of oddities in your deathmark windows

oak tangle
#

can i raid with your guild, i need to find a mythic community so i don't have to leave my social guild

winter gale
#

One so stupid question

#

Do I refresh AT or Inside refreshing timers?

#

I do it at

balmy condor
#

(also should really work on getting that energy waste down, I know it says it's okay, but "okay" means not great)

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

he means the word at

balmy condor
#

oh

#

2am will do that to me

#

anytime in pandemic is fine

#

!pd

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

balmy condor
#

in the example given, you can refresh at any point from 0 to 5.4 remaining on the garrote

#

and it's dps neutral

#

the only place it matters is for exsang, where you want to max it out regardless

oak tangle
#

you can't gain uptime by any option

hot goblet
#

Thanks a lot Whispyr :). Honestly, wow analyzer being updated is huge, + your review, I know what UI changes I need to make to help focus on the bits im missing 🙂

balmy condor
#

so vanish -> garrote will give you 23.4 second garrote

#

that's the juice for exsang

#

otherwise any time in pandemic

flint tusk
#

lel. i know ilvl parses are wank and sin is bad on kurog but damn man. also this is wipe so it's duff info anyway just found it funny

winter gale
#

And what are exact pandemic numbers?

winter gale
#

Maybe my luxthos is outdated, will check that up

balmy condor
#

luxthos one should start glowing

winter gale
#

It does

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

so anytime in the glow

#

you refresh

winter gale
#

Great

balmy condor
#

as long as you don't let it drop

oak tangle
#

sub optimal you can just assume like 7 seconds for rupture refresh, obviously it changes based on the cp you have'

balmy condor
#

yeh

winter gale
#

I could/should squeeze some envenoms during pandemic if I know I will be able to refresh before it drops

oak tangle
#

no reason to do that, may as well refresh and do them after

winter gale
#

I guess that is situational

#

Yeah

#

That is just risking I guess

raven knoll
#

When empowered garrote do you refresh in pandemic window or let it drop?

balmy condor
#

I mean it's also not really a gain

#

you're not risking for any benefit

#

if you have an 18 second garrote

#

and you don't want to refresh at 4 seconds because you can envenom and then refresh at 1

#

you get a 19 second garrote, and an envenom

#

versus if you just refresh at 4, you get a 22 second garrote

#

then you envenom

#

and you're at 19 as well

#

it's the same result

#

you just swapped the casts

oak tangle
#

there is a few cases where you could consider "risking" it, but that would be something like you are in pandemic at max cp etc

balmy condor
raven knoll
#

thank you kindly

balmy condor
#

in opener you can pandemic your stealth garrote with a vanish garrote

#

if you're not running exsang

#

cause empower -> empower is fine

#

but if you're running exsang, you would overwrite the exsang

#

you basically should never overwrite any dot with a dot of a lower quality

#

that being exsang > imp gar > regular

#

so exsang'd gar -> vanish gar is no good

#

stealth gar no exsang -> vanish gar is fine

#

vanish gar -> regular gar is no good

#

regular gar -> regular gar obviously fine

#

and going the other way you would ignore pandemic

#

so regular gar -> imp gar is fine regardless of time remaining, cause you're empowering the cast

#

so for pandemic purposes, you only pandemic with something equal or lower in the list, and when you have something higher in the list available, you ignore the pandemics

#

Don't look at it, because it was awful. But I tried Primal Council as Sin this week too (usually switch to outlaw), I guess our priority is just maintaing garrote, rupture and crimson on all bosses?

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

i slapp AP for that

balmy condor
#

yeh council is AP/IC

#

and you just live your life maintaining everything

oak tangle
#

but also do a flat 20k more just by pressing and selecting sub

hot goblet
#

our biggest issue with Council, is we are quite a melee heavy group, and all our players appear to be on drugs or something, so I am constantly getting hit by the bloody debuff >.<

oak tangle
#

unironically sub will help alot with that

spark scaffold
#

hug the pillars KEKW

oak tangle
#

you can float much further

frozen jasper
balmy condor
#

Sure

#

I mean the whole thing is completely irrelevant

oak tangle
#

exsang does 80% more right, so multiply your tick rate by 1.8 and that's how long you have to reapply

balmy condor
#

We’re talking about differences in dps nearing single digits

frozen jasper
#

Yeah i know was Just curious whats optimal in a realistic scenario

balmy condor
#

I would assume clipping the exsang

#

But the sims aren’t accurate to know

#

So how should I

oak tangle
#

what if pandemic worked like ignite

balmy condor
#

Then we would do nothing but cast rupture for 5 minutes straight

raven knoll
#

Wouldnt you just be applying dots all fight?

#

100k tick rupture

oak tangle
#

i mean the implementation would gimp extended empowered garrotes, but you could limit to only working like ignite if it is inside pandemic range

#

inside last 30% add the damage to the next duration

#

accomplishes same goal and you don't have to let them drop off if empowered

raven knoll
#

Wouldn't it be more punishing? If you reaply dots earlier you will loose that damage

balmy condor
#

You would just eliminate pandemic

#

And force refreshes at exactly pandemic

#

So instead of people not understanding pandemic and losing a bit of damage by trying to refresh at 0 and dropping their dots for a second or two

#

You now ensure that everyone is losing a significant portion of their damage

oak tangle
#

why would it force refresh at pandemic timer

balmy condor
#

By not refreshing garrote at 5.4

balmy condor
#

Ignite is a rolling dot

#

The closer to the refresh limit you reapply

#

The more ticks you get

#

Pandemic serves to smooth the rotation by giving you dps neutrality within a couple seconds of refreshing

oak tangle
#

true cause you'd be condensing the casts

balmy condor
#

Your suggestion is strictly MORE ticks

#

You would get 5.4 seconds of free garrote damage

#

Every time you cast it

oak tangle
#

just wondering now that i realise that, is there a way to preserve the empower in a pandemic refresh that doesn't make you do that

balmy condor
#

Sure

oak tangle
#

outside of making an empowered garrote have 2 debuffs, one at 100% and then on at the empower %

balmy condor
#

You turn improved garrote into a buff that increases garrote damage for X seconds

oak tangle
#

and only pandemic the 100%

balmy condor
#

Rather than snapshotting the bleed

#

So when you refresh

#

The buff stays

#

And buffs the new one

#

The alternative would be the same thing but less clear

#

Where refreshing with a normal garrote adds the empowerment damage to the new dot

#

So you would have to check if the current dot is stronger than the new dot

#

Calculate the difference

#

Then add that difference to the new dot

#

For x seconds

#

But it wouldn’t solve the issue of the partial tick, which is a whole can of worms I don’t wanna get into

#

So for the sake of argument

#

Turn into character buff instead of ability snapshot

#

And Bingo you got yourself a damage pandemic

#

And also an aoe buff

#

Two birds one stone

oak tangle
#

i don't know what to say, that sounds good

balmy condor
#

Once again proving snapshots are the fucking scourge of humanity

#

Amen

winter gale
#

Also, just garrote can be empowered?

balmy condor
#

Welcome to the church of snapshot bad

balmy condor
#

But aside from that

#

Nothing to be done to it

winter gale
#

Rupture gets stronger by exsang

#

Yes

balmy condor
#

When talking about pandemic and empowerments it’s just a lot easier and more thorough to talk about garrote

#

And then apply the concept back to rupture

#

Cause rupture you got variable durations and those all have their own pandemic

#

And garrote has exsang, but also imp gar

#

So if you can understand garrote and how pandemic works with that and exsang/imp gar

#

Rupture is basically already solved

winter gale
#

I was doing bad mistakes up until today

#

I was always refreshing all dots before DM, no matter how long they were before that

oak tangle
#

your uptimes were great though XD

hollow dirge
#

why before dm. exan would be understandable

winter gale
#

Was doing so by vanish/ 2x garrote / rupture

balmy condor
#

Dm isn’t the issue, exsang is

winter gale
#

Yes

balmy condor
#

That gameplay is perfect for exsang

#

Normal dm tho no need

winter gale
#

For exsang I wold also do that but I also think I was delaying DM for Exsang on 3rd min for some time 😂

balmy condor
winter gale
#

This morning community here explained me alot of stuff

#

Im good now, I know much more

#

In theory atleast

balmy condor
#

Holding cds is a universal concept people suck at to be fair

#

It’s a super common mistake

winter gale
#

Switching and changing everything I was doing was chaotic each time I was doing it, im a key spammer so often did I fail 😂

#

But it will now be better

oak tangle
#

and so counter intuitive, exsang is our big cd, but we hold it for 1 min

#

45s OMEGAKEKW

hollow dirge
#

btw, fix for kb, maybe, remove the poison from increasing the dmg of it, make bleed ticks increase the dmg instead, but for a lower amount, say 8% per hit, and then remove it from the dtb capstone? that way, it would be easier to balance, since bleed ticks are not random like poison procs, dtb would not overpower it, and dm would actually feel great to stack with kb, due to double tics of the bleeds

oak tangle
#

that would take away the already limited interraction we have when pressing it though

steel ridge
#

would scale consistent tho

oak tangle
#

but it's not the issue with the spec, our damage etc is fine, it's rotational divergent we lack

steel ridge
#

big power infusion kb

hollow dirge
oak tangle
#

sure it will make kb picked, but the only difference it makes is between pressing kb or talenting dtb

#

and it would only promote exsang further, and we dont want that XD

hollow dirge
#

well , I don't mind exang 😄

balmy condor
#

Or

#

Real novel idea

#

Just take kingsbane number

#

And make bigger

#

They have 3 numbers to pick from

hollow dirge
#

there's that too 😄

balmy condor
#

The instant damage

#

The dot

#

And the scale

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Just multiply them all by 5% of their current number and kingsbane is bis

#

Ez

hollow dirge
#

i guess the scale is the best one to go for

balmy condor
#

I did. it

#

The problem with the scale is it ramps pretty hard already

hollow dirge
#

promoting people standing in fire to have max uptime during kb

#

always a good thing

balmy condor
#

But yeh

oak tangle
#

make envenom debuff count as a poison application

#

for kb

balmy condor
#

Kingsbane is deadass the easiest thing to buff

#

You pick a number and increase it

oak tangle
#

reward chaining env in kb

balmy condor
#

Idk why they can’t do it

plucky roost
#

Would reducing exsanguinate cd to 2 min help the spec?

oak tangle
#

my sweet summer child

balmy condor
#

If by help the spec you mean make it do bonkers dps

#

Sure yeah

#

Most of the channel would rather die than have to play that rotation

#

But it would do damage

plucky roost
#

Well yeah with compensation on exsang strength, so like 50% faster dots

balmy condor
#

You would need to bring exsang down to 20% 2 min if you want the same balance as now

hollow dirge
balmy condor
#

We ran the numbers when they first nerfed it

balmy condor
#

All good things come in threes

hollow dirge
#

except exan cd

balmy condor
#

Exsang can come in threes

#

As long as it goes from this reality first

#

And then comes to a different reality

#

Where I don’t exist

#

That would be okay with me

hollow dirge
balmy condor
#

Alternate universe artanaro gets to play exsang

#

And current universe whispyr doesn’t have to be suicidal

#

#

I was sick of exsang 6 years ago

#

Snapshot bad

#

Snapshot dumb gameplay

hollow dirge
#

sure, remove exan, I'm fine with it. but playing a 3m cd exan is just crap. either remove it, or lower the cd. this is the worst of all

balmy condor
#

No one understand snapshot

oak tangle
#

what if, exsang was a buff on you, that made all dots tick faster while active reducing their duration appropriately, kinda like how shifting power works for mages for their cd's. and that way you don't have to worry about overwriting stuff

balmy condor
#

I don’t like the 3 min cd either

hollow dirge
#

put kb in exan position, make bleed ticks increase dmg so dtb is not op, cool

balmy condor
#

But ain’t no way you can do anything else the way it interacts

#

Exsang at 2 minutes is simply too powerful

hollow dirge
#

while at it, remove the damn ma as well, since just reading the talent makes me stand on same window as whispyr playing exan

balmy condor
#

And exsang at less than that will just either turn into 2 min or be stronger

wanton vine
#

assa needs a passive ability similar to plaguebringer

balmy condor
#

30% lmao

oak tangle
#

didn't it used to be 100%?

hollow dirge
#

yes

#

and for longer period

balmy condor
#

Yeah, it used to be a 5 second 100% legendary

oak tangle
#

is it additive or multiplicative

balmy condor
#

Additive

oak tangle
#

that's not that bad

hollow dirge
#

it got similar treatment as exan, nerf after nerf after nerf, only to become a meme

balmy condor
#

It’s pretty fucking bad

oak tangle
#

it could have been multiplicative

balmy condor
#

Yeah it also could’ve been the lint stuck to the bottom of my balls

#

Doesn’t mean it’s good

oak tangle
#

buff it to 60% and it's essentially 100

dark token
#

What if they replace exang with a passive that every time you envenom, you exang your dots for 2 sec

balmy condor
#

Yeah and it would still suck

hollow dirge
#

it would make it better, and it would still be shit

balmy condor
#

Sinister calling

hollow dirge
#

just remove it. we don't want it. put it on sub

balmy condor
#

This is the way

hollow dirge
#

why even give it to the spec with the least benefit from it 😄

balmy condor
#

I propose a trade

#

Sub gets ma

#

We get replicating shadows

#

All is right in the world

dark token
#

You don't want replicating shadows

#

Until it smart targets

oak tangle
#

can we give them crimson tempest and take secret technique too?

balmy condor
#

I do actually want replicating shadows

royal lantern
#

OH NO, I DONT WANT MY FREE BLEED SPREAD

balmy condor
hollow dirge
balmy condor
#

Think of the horror

#

Maybe 1/5 times you don’t get the duplication

dark token
#

You have to do some pozzed positioning to optimize it

balmy condor
#

Okay and?

oak tangle
#

i guess the thought is, sub spends little time applying bleeds so lets let them get them out faster than the multi dot spec

#

and that leads to, ay yo wtf why this non bleed class better at applying dots yo

balmy condor
#

And suddenly sub rupture does more damage

#

While also duplicating

hollow dirge
#

rupture is a wet noodle if there ever was one

balmy condor
#

Because that makes sense

oak tangle
#

give sub back nightblade and watch the world burn

hollow dirge
shrewd night
balmy condor
#

I will never for the life of me understand how we ended up with sub rupture doing noticeably higher damage than sin rupture, and getting an easier time applying it as well

#

Remember the good old days of “sub generates more combo points so they can apply rupture better”

royal lantern
#

@dark token i mean, i know what you mean, but saying "you dont want rep shadows, you need to move a bit for your bleed spread" is kinda a croocked take

assa would kill for any form of more easy multidotting lol

oak tangle
#

something about 90% mastery

balmy condor
#

And not “sub gets 2 ruptures for every rupture”

shrewd night
oak tangle
#

what if, envenom worked like pennance and purge the wicked

balmy condor
#

Sub rupture is shadow now, so it does spooky damage, and spooky damage is special, so sub can do more spooky damage, and rupture can do spooky damage so make the number really big

there is a rebuttal though, why is sp/lock not gengar dmg too? only time you can do gengar dmg, is if you're melee?

make envenom spread dot to another target, and make IC make the next envenom spread dot to all 8 nearby targets
