but same concept

#

Does curse of weakness stack with mind numbing?

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that should be accurate enough for 40 seconds

#

but it's definitely not optimized

#

since now we need to consider openers

hallow sonnet

Ty

plain moon
#

Do DKs actually spec that tho?

hallow sonnet
#

Unsure, but iirc all of the attack speed slows are multiplicative with eachother too

balmy condor
#

for a 40 second kill time

#

I might actually lose my shit

#

the sample luckily looks pretty acceptable

hallow sonnet
#

To be fair, outside of the end boss I guess, the "shortest fight" max dps is what a lot of people will look and drool over at wcl ;)

balmy condor
#

I added a line during the sepsis fix

#

to force the rupture prep for exsang

#

which seems to have fixed a lot of opener stuff for other builds

#

good to see it's working

flint tusk
#

Purple name Whispyr starege

hallow sonnet
#

Pretty sure Tea could be optimized quite a bit

#

on such short kills

balmy condor
#

probably

#

but there's bigger issues

dusk summit
#

Hey so reading though all the things and trying to figure out what to craft etc. Is Slimy Boots still BIS? Or did I read that wrong? Also Im looking at my onyx ring, Is this soemthing I should be replacing or is it still good to use in M+ and or raid? Thanks gamers.

balmy condor
#

like the fact that fragment still has 9 stacks

#

when it's supposed to have 0

#

but ya know

#

the devil you know

#

versus the devil you don't

#

blabla

balmy condor
#

onyx ring can be replaced

dusk summit
#

oh good, I can amke this this week so i think Ill do that.

balmy condor
#

but it's very close to bis

#

you'd have to get some banging rings to make that happen

limber lion
#

But if it's a 40s kill, you basically have lust for the entirety of the encounter which means that you don't get to use tea for the energy gain at all, which would force the apl to already use it by itself for the mastery because of the ttd line

#

I mean sure it could be used twice during Deathmark and once during Shiv

hallow sonnet
#

Yeah but "dumping at end" isn't really optimal

dusk summit
#

I got kinda crap in my vault but there is a ring that sims a bit higher in M+ (5 boss target for 40sec)

limber lion
#

But that's almost what it's doing already

hallow sonnet
#

You'd probably chain it at some point

balmy condor
#

5 target 40 sec is uh

#

pretty volatile

clever sapphire
#

So i question i have been asking myself for this week since its forti. Would you guys run a heroic boon over 437 harlans/441 brackenhide trinket which name i forgor? Or should i just sim it

limber lion
#

That's easy enough to test

#

Easy 1.4k dps from just sending during dm

hallow sonnet
#

master assassin probably gains some value as well

dusk summit
#

Should I be using dungeon slice for M+ topgear? (sorry for cutting randomly in)

limber lion
#

But at the end of the day, if a kill is less than a minute, it's probably a safe bet to throw everything you have during lust and cds

#

I think that's something people instinctively do as well

hallow sonnet
# dusk summit Should I be using dungeon slice for M+ topgear? (sorry for cutting randomly in)

I usually use DS. And then two separate sims for the different parts of DS.
As in 1 for a ~140 s ST fight.
And one with this type of fight style
adds,name=SmallAdd,count=5,count_range=1,first=0,cooldown=45,duration=15,duration_stddev=2
adds,name=BigAdd,count=2,count_range=1,first=20,cooldown=50,duration=30,duration_stddev=2

Though I usually have 7 and 4 as counts personally for sub

#

Yeah Cev

limber lion
#

Everyone have their own methods for simming m+

hallow sonnet
#

Like the shorter the fight, the easier it is to be intuitive

limber lion
#

I just use Dslice and call it a day

#

:P

hallow sonnet
#

The hard part about "feeling" in WoW combat is to make a connection to how a decision I take now will affect things further along the fight

limber lion
#

Yep, millions of things to consider. Fight length, adds, forced damage stops, cooldowns, syncing... it goes on and on

#

I have a friend who cannot grasp the concept of holding cds or not using everything together at once all the time

#

He's super casual and always saves every single cooldown in his kit so he can use them ALL together for maximum burst

hallow sonnet
#

Sounds fun though

balmy condor
#

a man of culture

limber lion
#

Absolutely

hallow sonnet
#

Timmy player

From MTG terms

#

Big numbers fun

dusk summit

i like big numbers

dem big crits

#

In the end, the goal is to succeed. And identifying what is keeping your group from succeeding is very important. Sometimes it is maximizing overall dps. Sometimes it is maximizing dps during a certain phase. And a plethora of different stuffs

dusk summit
#

side note how are we (assa rogues) on the scale of dps? Ie we in a solid postiontion or is it as usual?

balmy condor
#

it's not great

#

my rashok kill was super banging

#

it's like rank 4 atm still, rank 2 without pi

#

and then you open the log

#

and you're like

#

oh

#

unholy dk did 113k and it's a green parse

#

assa rogue did 116k and it's one of the highest

#

and it's a blue parse sandwhich otherwise

#

very cool

true garden
#

is lariat better than toxic patch at 5 elemental gems you think

balmy condor
#

not even close

fml i had 6 foken sockets

#

bomb dispenser question...can you put multiple bombs on the same target?

clever sapphire
#

how would you do that

balmy condor
#

no, because there's a cooldown on the trinket

#

you can't have more than 1 bomb out at any given time

#

because of it

uncut dragon
#

huh. it said it stored 3 bombs, thought you could use them all. Kind of dumb to phrase it that way if you can only use one at a time

clever sapphire
#

it has a 10 gcd or so after a usage

#

most trinkets have a trinket cd, thats why 2 on use is getting hated

#

because you delay them because of that cd

uncut dragon
#

ya I'm using beacon now and I just got bomb in my cache.

#

so I'll be using 2 on use...forgot about the 30 sec cd

balmy condor
#

only downhill from there

clever sapphire
#

opener is probably a bit scuffed unless you bind it to shiv though

uncut dragon
#

already so many keybinds

clever sapphire
#

ye just macro it to shiv, because you press shiv only later in the opener

#

and bacon is your 5th cast i think

uncut dragon
#

its funny I sim better with the call to suffering as sub

balmy condor
#

so technically you could rapid fire them

#

1 bomb every 10 seconds

#

and then run out of charges

#

cause it takes 30 seconds to make a new bomb

uncut dragon
#

bomb-bomb-bomb-beacon

balmy condor
#

that beacon would be 40 seconds into the fight

#

but if it doesn't miss you a beacon cast, sure

clever sapphire
#

just do the puzzlebox opener with bomb on shiv

#

problem solved

#

or the cursed precast thingy rosvall and whispyr were talking about above

balmy condor
#

that might overcap you a charge if you're playing lightweight I think

#

let me run the timings in my head real quick

#

yeah it's actually worse than that

#

cause you would beacon -> shiv basically right

#

but you wouldn't be able to bomb cause the 30 second shared cd

#

and by the end of that 30 second shared cooldown, you would have to hold shiv

#

which would lose you shiv #3 from your lust

#

which is kinda fine

#

but then you hold shiv for over 40 seconds after that

clever sapphire
#

hmm, bomb is not on gcd right? so in theorie i could press envenom and insta press shiv so shiv doesnt get cast but the bomb gets

balmy condor
#

which would mean you definitely overcap a bomb

uncut dragon
#

I just beaconed a turnip punching bag and it was only 20 seconds until bomb?

balmy condor
#

could do the same thing macroing it to deathmark

clever sapphire
#

bomb and bacon sounds like a pain in the ass in the opener

balmy condor
#

and then just press your deathmark button

#

when deathmarks on cooldown

#

or, could be safer to macro into ambush perhaps hm

clever sapphire
slow tulip
#

you can macro it to ambush and you press it during the gcd

#

or out for it for both if you have proc

clever sapphire
#

macro it to sap, there is no way you would ever have to press sap xD

I can hear my raid leader yelling at me for spamming sap on a raid boss...

#

Though I did a lot of log digging in breaks

clever sapphire
#

i have details on, but like never look at logs

#

because that shit would demotivate the hell out of me, seeing someone with green parses above me and my purple parse

hallow sonnet
#

Ah, no more for like seeing where damage patterns align with different phases of the fight etc

clever sapphire
#

ah, ye i usually got that down by the fact that i send everything on cooldown, and after like 3-4 times i realise when it doesnt make sense to send it

#

because boss phases/intermission or whatever

#

but looking at logs is probably easier and smarter

#

btw wasnt it supposed to be volcanic week? why is it raging again

#

tried macroing envenom to the bomb trink, worked pretty well through the opening and burst phases. thanks

uncut dragon
#

yes

clever sapphire
#

well i guess its fine in the opening since envenom cast is so late šŸ¤”

uncut dragon
#

I had to hold one envenom like 2 sec to get becon off later in rotation

what im probably gonna do if i ever get bomb is macro it to my ambush keybind

What's our best trinket combo?

#

Beacon+Bomb or Fragment goes somewhere there?

#

Found the pin*

signal merlin
#

hello quick question does the toxic armor patch has to be on the wrists only or i can do any piece i need? (ilvl i mean)

hot blade
#

can be on other leatherworking pieces (i have mine on my belt) so i can use brez bracers for example

signal merlin
#

ok nice

clever sapphire
#

wrist was probably the best choice in the bis sim, because of the other pieces you wear there. I crafted wrists because that was my shittiest item

royal lantern
#

its mostly because:

#

head/chest/gloves/leg/shoulders are tier slots and probably allready blocked

#

boots is slime boots

#

so you more or less only have wrist and belt left, but sark belt exists aswell if you are lucky

signal merlin
#

well it's gonna be gloves cause it's my lowest + i have 4p set

clever sapphire
#

got 3 haste mastery rings already with leech and avoid

gaunt moat
#

was a bigger upgrade to go from 437(tier)->447
than wrists 424->447

limber lion
#

My apartment always smells for a week when I make bacon

clever sapphire
#

dont you have windows?

grave depot
#

wait so bomb dispenser + beacon is best since fragment was oversimming?

clever sapphire
#

was before too im pretty sure

#

fragment was just close

grave depot
#

ah

clever sapphire
#

447 fragment beat heroic bomb/beacon i think

#

but not anymore

balmy condor
#

Fragment +0.2% over beacon because bis means bis

#

And 450 beacon slightly worse than oversimming 447 fragment

clever sapphire
#

wat

#

bacon really that bad compared to fragment?

royal lantern
#

"bad"

balmy condor
#

I mean if frags simming 18% higher

royal lantern
#

you guys throw that word around like crazy lol

balmy condor
#

That’s quite a buff

clever sapphire
#

and here i thought bacon is ultra broken shit

keen spruce
#

okay so a trinket that is only .2% worse than something simming 18% higher than it should

#

is not ultra broken in your opinion SusNotes

clever sapphire
#

om confused, time for a nap

balmy condor
#

If I crit all my bacons it’s almost 10% of my damage

royal lantern

i should have just looked at the pin message before getting confused by numbers -.-

#

Talents arent really borrowed power

clever sapphire
#

dunno, i look at the covenant abilities as borrowed power

grim jay
#

Well they are talents now, so part of the spec

#

Nothing external

clever sapphire
#

but i only started with wow in SL so probably thats why my take is so wrong

clever sapphire

now give me the legendary parts of the talents, because that made them fun

we dont run frag anymore, my guild hasnt seen a single bomb trinket yet and only 2 beacons from vault

keen spruce
#

i mean just run frag until u get a bacon

restive falcon
#

i will but just feelsbad havent seen either one

keen spruce
#

yeah i'm probably like last on the dps prio list for bacon

#

cuz they gave me the first heroic bomba

#

I was so excited when i got a 447 frag in vault too

deft flicker
#

Reject bomba, return to boonge

restive falcon

i am prio for first beacon but it has yet to drop and i gotta roll against like 4 other people for bomb

we have reached the decision point

of pushing io

How do we feel about Arterial Precision for raging & fortified week?

#

Or is the new raging less of a pain?

clever sapphire

im probably gonna run it in dungeons with smaller pull sizes

#

but wont bother with it in dungeons like freehold

grim jay
#

Dunno why you have the option of dealing damage and wanna choose the option of being useless except for removing a debuff most can dispell better

#

And especially without being a deco item while doing it tho

clever sapphire
#

i like ambush

#

thats my whole reason behind playing it

#

🤣

grim jay
#

Yeah I see, since you wanna ambush your viability

clever sapphire
#

cant ambush something that never existed 2ez

#

but tbh i thought about running it in halls and vortex

#

because halls execute boss and well pulls dont really exist?

#

and vortex its like max 5 mobs or so

#

or atleast with the tanks i have been having

grim jay

Sim both m+ builds on ST and cleave and tell me the result 😁

#

Alright lil peep

strange python
#

Thats fine, but the community hears a big name on a giant stream saying rogue is fine and thinks other complaints aren't reasonable

gusty mirage
#

tbf even when he has said rogue sucks

#

people still think complaints aren't reasonable

strange python
#

Idr that

gusty mirage
#

problem is the majority of players run into rogues in m+

gaunt moat
gusty mirage
#

and statistically

#

rogues are more prepared than other players

#

so they perform better

#

(helps that sub's aoe rotation can be done by a toddler)

#

so people go OMEGALUL ROGUE OP STOP CRYING ROUGES

#

because they all spell it rouge.

fallen charm
gusty mirage
#

I've seen fully geared locks do 70k overall

#

and tell me rogue is OP

spice spire
#

Real

gusty mirage
#

so they don't compare apples to apples

#

they compare the dude trying to fill his vault in their 18-19 no leaver

#

to themselves

spice spire
#

Not I asking the tank 600 times what pull he’s going to do to determine what’s worth for CDs

gusty mirage
#

like sub rogue is fine in m+

#

but rogue is not fine in raid

#

and anyone who thinks that

#

is actually high as fuck

#

well ig it depends on your definition of "fine"

#

because this week is when we all start seeing the disparity

#

we've had enough weeks for warlocks and DKs to get their OP trinkets

#

and get fully geared

#

and evoker*

#

sorry forgot them for some reason

#

we're about to be in for a very very rude awakening in the coming weeks

#

I gained 15 ilvl and went up 15k dps

#

other people gained 15 ilvl and went up 40k dps

#

lmao

strange python
rocky ruin
#

didn't look so much in logs atm but how many sub rogue vs assa rogue are in mythic atm?

gusty mirage
#

all 3 pathetic

strange python
#

It doesn't help that rogue brought a ton of power from Vault into Aberrus so a lot of early strength made us look better than we are

gusty mirage
#

sub rogue is middle of the pack

#

other 2 are bottom feeders

strange python
#

Rogue stonks are dropping like a rock as weeks go by

gusty mirage
#

yep

strange python
#

Especially sub.

gusty mirage
#

we relied heavy on the rings

#

and the trinkets

#

which propped us up in 10.1

strange python
#

I get that it's hard to buff rogues at 10.1 launch because of that

#

But the lack of tuning since launch is weird

gusty mirage
#

the disparity is about to break the mental of all of the rogue-kind

strange python
#

Where the fuck are the devoker nerfs

#

We are 6 sin nerfs week 2.

#

It's week 4

gusty mirage
#

before you'd burst to the top 5 of the meters

#

now in your burst

#

you're like

strange python
#

Devoker is better than sin ever was.

gusty mirage
#

80k behind all the top dogs

#

lmfao

rocky ruin
strange python
#

Buffing rogue week 1 would've made sub stacked for week 1 which is bad. But we need help now.

gusty mirage
#

yep

#

our only redemption is hoping 10.1.5 brings about good tuning

rocky ruin
#

if our pure ST spec get nuked to hell by other specs who arent really pure st then idk what to say

gusty mirage
#

but they don't seem very concerned with releasing any information about rogue at all early

#

every other class gets a heads up

spice spire
#

Anyway - rogue needs help this tier. We knew it from week one, but we looked good because of borrowed power xdd.
Anyway

gusty mirage
#

we do not

gaunt moat
#

@gusty mirage It's the exact same story of previous tier.
Heroic weeks? Easily topping raid meter. Assassination seems like it's gonna be strong.
Mythic weeks... struggle is real.

At least we didn't get nerfed this time.

gusty mirage
#

we heard rumblings of tuning for the last half of 10.0

strange python
#

I wish I knew why devoker is avoiding hotfix nerfs like sin got.

gusty mirage
#

it took like

#

3 months

#

for them to come around

#

just wild

sick aspen
strange python
#

I took so much flame in this discord for saying the "faster pace of tuning" that got us nerfed in vault was going to be an outlier and not the norm......

gusty mirage
#

the thing is

#

the faster pace of tuning isn't an outlier

gusty mirage
#

they've been tuning

#

just tuning the most random shit

strange python
#

They haven't tuned shit in aberrus

gusty mirage
#

sure they have

strange python
#

They've tuned encounters. Not classes.

gusty mirage
#

just nothing substantial

strange python
#

Not in any meaningful way

gusty mirage
#

hard to tune with the same ferocity when half your staff quit

gaunt moat
#

it was too early to tune classes

strange python
#

We are a 10% nerf while 1% ahead of the rest of the specs.

gusty mirage
#

as of right now

sick aspen
gusty mirage
#

I will not be playing my rogue in 10.2

#

unless we get some serious tuning

gaunt moat
#

tuning on heroic logs led to big issues

gusty mirage
#

because ngl it's fucking depressing

spice spire
#

Imagine playing blood, rogue, and arms pref right now.

#

I’m down cataclysmic atm

rocky ruin
#

Today or tomorrow is the new ptr update i mean if they don't release anything for us then we know what happen
our dev time got ordered to do the new evoker spec

gusty mirage
#

the "utility" of soaking shit with cloak got cleaned out

royal lantern
#

@gusty mirage those are some well made arguments you made there

but Rogue is OP, so shut up

gusty mirage
#

any magmorax cloak of shadows enjoyers?

#

no?

#

yeah I don't blame you

strange python
#

Negative feedback loop

#

Only tune hunters, druids, now there's too many hunters and druids to ignore them

gusty mirage
#

they gut crimson vial going into SL

#

they gut our leeching poison like 3 months ago

royal lantern
#

"went to" mate rogue is the least played class for like 50% of the games lifetime lol

gusty mirage
#

now we just rot

#

to everything

#

literally all damage unless we can immune or feint it

#

lmao

#

dot damage?

#

you're just dead buddy

#

unlucky

strange python
#

Feint is super overrated at this point.

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

it's a load of shit

#

tbh

royal lantern
gusty mirage
strange python
#

While most raid damage is raid wide and most healing is aoe, feint offers very little value. You're unlikely to be saving any healer mana and you're unlikely to die unless everyone does.

gusty mirage
#

just have a 100% uptime on evasion

#

noob

spice spire
royal lantern
gaunt moat
gusty mirage
#

feint kinda useless

royal lantern
#

tbf, thats not as stupid as "rogue can use Sap for incorp if they would use vanish for it"

spice spire
#

In combat hmm

rocky ruin
#

Same ppl say save your dispell for enrage

gusty mirage
#

I loved being at 90% health, soaking the mythic mechanic

#

and proccing cheat death with feint

#

very cool

#

insane game

#

I also liked trying to reset magmorax last night

lapis osprey
#

Can someone explain this for me

gusty mirage
#

vanishing

#

and watching magmorax punch my asshole clean

#

then I melded

#

and he finished the job

rocky ruin

I would like my abilities to work

gusty mirage
#

could be worse

lapis osprey
#

LMAO

gusty mirage
#

could be the rotten

lapis osprey
#

The rotten is competitive again isn't it

gusty mirage
#

the rotten is the best rogue build in the game

strange python
#

It's not just competitive brother

#

It's better

gusty mirage
#

but it's cursed as fuck

royal lantern
strange python
#

The problem is it's not better enough to be worthwhile unless you play perfect and on pure single target.

strange python
#

Wait till farm. It'll be all over logs.

royal lantern
#

sanity dependant

gusty mirage
#

sanity out the window mr. assassination main

#

we've transcended sanity months ago

royal lantern
#

not a single sane human will play that unless they wanna go for the 3x Pi rank1 log

#

but like

#

they will tell you that sub is fine anyway

gusty mirage
#

hey man

#

some people like it

royal lantern
#

cus they do dmg in m+

gusty mirage
#

I hope 10.1.5 brings me even more SL covenant abilities

strange python
#

Sub isn't popular ATM lol

gusty mirage
#

I just want to relive SL in DF

strange python
#

Your options are a cursed rotten build or a boring standard build

royal lantern
#

like, its 1 of those moments where i wanna see how those people react if it would just be "weak" in m+

not bad, just lower 1/3 for a short while

strange python
#

I would love rogue being bad in m+

gusty mirage
#

bring back fleshcraft

royal lantern
#

and all those "sub gameplay in DF is so cool catPOG i do dmg" react

gusty mirage
#

just for rogues

#

and gemstones

#

we stole whats his name's royal jewels (his balls) and rub them for crit damage

#

SL was so shit I forgot his name

oak sky
gusty mirage
#

people thinking shroud matters

royal lantern
#

S H R O U D

gusty mirage
#

I once had a feral tell me he'd trade his brez for shroud

#

LOL

oak sky
#

Obviously damage matters more

gusty mirage
#

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

royal lantern
#

(nobody ever does shroud skips except some shity pugs that fuck themself with it)

gusty mirage
#

I would suck Ion's cock for a brez over shroud

oak sky
#

Sl brez item smoge

royal lantern
#

like

#

fuck shroud

#

lol

#

pugs always wanna do shroud skips

gusty mirage
#

horribly

royal lantern
#

and it has a 80% chance to not work anyway cus some warlock/hunter pulls with pets/somone walks trought enemys/somone walks into stealth detection guys

strange python
#

SHROUD TICKS IN UNDERROT LOL

royal lantern
#

and the other 20% somone dies and instant releases and cant reach the group

#

cus OFC they dont have invis potions

misty holly
#

So I noticed last week since finishing my new 4 set a lot of M+ bosses are like 2:20 kill time

#

So on your second vendetta you get no tier bonus at all

#

Its like 😢

proper tapir
#

You get it on the next pack starege

storm onyx
gusty mirage
misty holly
#

or on the last boss of every dungeon

proper tapir
#

Nah, run with VDHs, they be zooooming

gusty mirage
#

love the pull variety

#

"skip 2nd dragon pull everything else"

#

k

#

there ya go

#

that's your variety

#

I don't like how they bring back old dungeons

#

and their trash count is

#

"lol pull everything"

#

like nice dude

#

season 4 BFA was loved because it opened up different route potentials for dungeons we've pulled thousands of times

teal iris
#

legit made underrot feel way different with just a seasonal affix

strange python
#

I miss shadowlands talent tree

thorn fjord
#

You miss running CT on ST? 🤣

strange python
#

No. I miss how much simpler it was

gusty mirage
#

and not having to trade off damage for it

eager solstice
#

Anyone using a good sepsis wa?

limber lion
#

You just take the same shit everywhere

gusty mirage
#

the s4 affix made it a completely new dungeon

limber lion

#

Does that one track proc to when use empowered garrote?

limber lion
#

Yes

#

It tracks everything

#

Sepsis cooldown, Sepsis duration, Empowered Garrote proc and duration

Sweet ty

#

Hi here šŸ™‚ Quick question. Is it worth swapping 1 talent point from Improved Poison to run two Shiv charges?

royal lantern
#

i mean, sim it and you see the difference?

#

wont make a big dent overall tbh

limber lion
#

Honestly kinda doesn't matter

royal lantern
#

its probs like

#
    • 0,1%
runic gorge
#

question about the sepsis exang opener. Doesnt the sepsis-buffed garrote overwrite the stealth garrote and the stealth garrote is technically stronger?

limber lion
#

So what you do with the Sepsis Garrote is extend the duration of Garrote to its maximum so you can Exsanguinate right after for maximum benefit

proper tapir
limber lion
#

The second Garrote from Sepsis is used after the Exsanguinated garrote drops.

woeful meteor
limber lion
#

Sepsis procs all stealth garrote benefits

#

Including Improved Garrote and Shrouded

#

Wasn't the case previously, but now it is and it's pretty good

#

Or kinda was not but not really, Sepsis was a mess before

proper tapir
#

Ohhhh people read SS as like, "only when cast from Stealth" but it's all the time

limber lion
#

Yeah there's 2 things Shrouded does

#

Increases Garrote damage by 20% all the time

#

and generates 2 extra CP's from stealth

#

But Improved Garrote is still the big one

#

And Sepsis procs that, so we're chilling

runic gorge
#

oh. did not know that. i think i read recently somewhere that stealth>vanish>sepsis. I guess thats not the case anymore

#

Thank you

proper tapir
normal mist
#

Best case scenario do we want 5/5 tier or is there a piece we want to avoid? (like haste versa headpiece)

limber lion
#

High vers/mast chest is cringe

normal mist
#

I see. Was wondering what to craft this week, since i already got the 1st dagger and slime boots. Got a shit headpiece but might just wait for tonights raid to see if it drops from any boss

#

Best simming item in my vault is assault neck, the high crit low haste one (heroic) but im also waiting to kill the boss šŸ˜›

eager solstice
#

You guys still using vers flasks in raid?

normal mist
#

i do but im a cheap fuck

#

which one to craft - toxic or slimy feet ?

For fights like nelt/sark with just small aoe phases

#

Am I being stupid or is the assa rogue rotation & opener difficult like I'm so confused

gusty mirage
#

you'd drop venom rush for CT in the sepsis-no exsang build

#

You get used to it after practice

limber lion
#

Just keep practicing

earnest timber
#

speaking of which, shucks, my fragment is bad now?!

lapis osprey
gusty mirage
#

I wouldn't even bother with CT then tbh

#

but you'd drop imp poisons for CT

#

and probably something else

#

idk I haven't looked at including CT much

#

cause our aoe is almost as sad as I am

lapis osprey
gusty mirage
#

but yeah

#

ig you'd drop shrouded

447 Fraggy down the drain.

fallow canopy
#

quite a lot of dooming for a trinket that besides bomb+beacon is still up there no?

gusty mirage
#

bomba + bacon trinket = bis

#

class trinket slightly behind

#

so also viable

#

cause I know people hate double on-use

#

even if bomba is sorta braindead on-use

earnest timber
#

it's just a wasted vault is all

#

not so much dooming

gusty mirage
#

if you want a good laugh

earnest timber
#

glad it was fixed

gusty mirage
#

if you got 441s in most slots

#

run a droptimizer

#

and see how sad it is

#

to get 447s in those slots

#

dead ass a socket is worth more

earnest timber
#

all trinkets besides bacon & bomberman are buns

gusty mirage
#

yep

#

they're okay alternatives at best

#

cause realistically a 441 bomb or beacon is just miles ahead of everything you'd get out of the m+ vault

#

hell a 437 of each is probably milesa head of 447 m+ trinkets

finally see bomb

dont get it
