you read what those cold blooded killers did in WW2?

limber lion
#

PSA: Deathmark is broken and does NOT correctly copy the tick rate of exsanguinated bleeds applied pre-Deathmark. Refrain from using Exsanguinate in your builds.

Deathmark copying the exsanguinate effect is literally the reason the Exsanguinate-talent has been any good and the fact that it does not work like it should effectively kills the talent entirely.

The copied exsanguinate effect still works properly if Exsanguinate is used after Deathmark which is something that we actively try to avoid. Because Exsang is completely unusable in single target, we recommend that you refrain from using it in M+ as well even if using Exsang after Deathmark is a gain in niche, heavy AoE scenarios.


But basically instead of:
Exsanguinate + Improved Poisons (single Shiv)

You should use:
Lightweight Shiv + Venom Rush

Or Master Assassin instead of Exsanguinate in mythic+.

Playing Exsanguinate is around a 1% loss in ST.```
## I repeat, do NOT play Exsanguinate *anywhere*. It's dead. 

*The Exsang + Deathmark combo has apparently been broken since January, but we just now found out about it.*
Thanks to @glass zealot for the discovery. ![RHlove](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/876980536546033714.webp?size=128 "RHlove")

Literal ice in their veins

grim tangle
#

that was so large

limber lion
#

Yeh lol went a bit too hard

#

Damn such an ugly pin, need to work on it a bit

thorn fjord
#

Wait what

gusty mirage
#

somewhere between the start of the expac and now

#

DM stopped copying the tick rate

thorn fjord
spiral pasture
#

this sentence should be gilded and put on display for all to see

gusty mirage
#

it worked fine at the start of the expac

limber lion
thorn fjord
#

Lol that’s blizzards way of getting rid of it 🤣🤣

gusty mirage
#

and on reset

#

with exsang-non exsang sepsis builds being like 700 dps apart

#

exsang gone

#

rejoice

#

for we are free

thorn fjord
#

Damn so 5% buff then they break exsang

#

Good times

gusty mirage
#

until whispyr has to find out a new use for exsang in the apl

gaunt moat
#

bro, if we've been playing a faulty exsang this whole time... monkaW

gusty mirage
#

nah this is something super recent

#

well

#

"recent"

#

more accurate

gaunt moat
#

could have been since the exsang nerf

gusty mirage
#

it's either they fucked something up when they fixed DM to work with the 2pc, or something fucked up when they nerfed exsang

royal lantern
#

how was shiv without exsang again

use both charges on Pull, and then keep a charge for Sepsis/dm right

gusty mirage
#

yap

#

on CD save a charge for sepsis and DM

#

much less brain usage

thorn fjord
#

We take those tbh

fallow canopy
#

me an avid exsang hater not using it since SL seeing that pinned message: basegcat

still epoch
#

With buffs sin has to be better in st than sub rifht

gaunt moat
#

Kinda ironic we find out about it when exsang was on the way out anyway.
At least we have a build to fall back on that performs in sims just as well.

gusty mirage
white orchid
#

So if sims still has exsang simming higher than non exsang we ignore it

gusty mirage
#

yep

#

now sepsis no exsang is our best friend

drifting cloud
#

yeah ... now

gaunt moat
#

We need to find logs where DM with exsang functioned properly to see when this started.
What should I look for?

white orchid
#

700 dps nerf noooo! Lol

limber lion
#

This is from Terros from 4 months ago

#

Oh boy.

gusty mirage
#

yeah so essentially when they nerfed the tick rate

drifting cloud
#

wasnt that before raid came out

gusty mirage
#

no

#

that was for sure during raid

#

lol

drifting cloud
#

you sure it wasnt a week before

gusty mirage
#

it was during heroic week

woeful meteor
#

exsang from 45 to 180 and the nerf from 100% to 80% was beta

gusty mirage
#

"heroic week"

rain oyster
#

We’ve been using bricked shit for ages 😆

gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

surely I would have played it in heroic week with old value, wasnt is super stronger than alternatives

gusty mirage
#

now I have to double check

drifting cloud
#

or was it like 2% back then

#

no .. way?

december 6th

limber lion
#

So we've been complaining about Exsanguinate all this time and it's been bad all this time LMAO

gusty mirage
#

nah it worked fine on my normal terros kill

limber lion
#

All my kills are private and gonezo because I'm not a raider anymore rip

oak sky
#

Good sin iteration PauseChamp

drifting cloud
#

atleast whispyr didnt play the no cttc build

gusty mirage
#

from my dec 13th normal terros

drifting cloud
#

just narrow it down if u cba

#

@limber lion whats the date on that log of yours

gaunt moat
limber lion
#

January something

sick aspen
#

so what's the build now? 2x imp poisin? we shifting a point to 2x shiv?

drifting cloud
#

how did it even break, was there even assa changes after 1st week of raid

#

lol

rain oyster
#

Shiv plus the one below that gives energy with ambush and mut

still epoch
#

Sub damage profile better for the raid seems like

toxic night
#

exsanguinate is the worst fucking ability in the game

Cant wait for newsang its gonna be sick!

december 20th

It used to be good for like a week when it just came out starege

hahahhahahahaah

#

exsang losers

#

doing less dps

#

than me, a chad

#

L

#

always knew i was right

drifting cloud
#

ure playing sub bozo

gusty mirage
#

you were wrong for the first month of the expac though

thorn fjord
#

@subtle tundra new arc has begun

subtle tundra
#

not anymore!

thorn fjord

playing assa on sark?

gusty mirage

he's benched

drifting cloud
#

oh

subtle tundra
rain oyster
#

This is hilarious kekw

gusty mirage
#

we love us some undocumented changes

subtle tundra
#

probably wont get to play it either

#

at all

thorn fjord
#

Moms spaghetti code

subtle tundra
#

(not resubbing)

drifting cloud
#

but aura buff

rain oyster
#

Aura buff dracthyr_blob_sweat

subtle tundra
#

the only thing that i've ever enjoyed in this game was m+

gusty mirage
#

oh yeah

#

it's an unsub angle for sure then

drifting cloud
#

become a wizard

subtle tundra
#

now i dont play m+ for pushing, im not playing something i dont enjoy

#

sub is aight, but i want assa
and assa is god damn burning shite

#

i got the gold to resub anytime if they rework assa 🙂

spiral pasture
#

"rework" will surely make assa good in m+

rain oyster
#

Burning shite still better than hunter kekw

subtle tundra
#

surv is pretty ok

#

ive heard 🙂

spiral pasture
#

surv is kinda blasting

rain oyster
#

YEAR OF THE SPEAR 2.0

spiral pasture
#

but barely anyone can play it

subtle tundra
#

i was told they have a really shitty cooldown

#

that requires some degen macros

drifting cloud
#

you can just count all the high m+ hunter pushers on 1 hand

#

they just reroll instead

rain oyster
#

Survival had it’s one patch of glory. Will never happen again

spiral pasture
#

2 patches technically

rain oyster
#

Specs like a bell curve in terms of shite

toxic night
#

never bothered taking exsanguinate tbh all expac long lol

subtle tundra
#

wise man

vapid sierra
#

i take exsang

#

just one extra button to me

#

its scirp[ted

limber lion
#

Not anymore you don't

#

🥶

rigid tartan
#

imo just give us back prenerf kingsbane like beginning of last tier, we dont have to have assa being good in m+ but assa players want it strong and played on highest level in raid. It should reclaim that execute niche. Kingsbane assa is more fun than current one also imo

subtle tundra
#

i dont play it as a statement of my opinion

#

i would've played 45 sec cd one

#

i kinda liked it

rain oyster
#

TFW whispyr puts out all the hot sepsis stuff a month back and I finally took exang. Smh my head

drifting cloud
#

surely bugfixed before 10.3

subtle tundra
#

as if execute mattered anymore

storm onyx
#

Did I just read right ?? Rofl, do we know since when?

rain oyster
#

It does on 1st boss of HoI wesmart

limber lion
#

:)

storm onyx
#

Exsan thing

#

Ahahaha

rigid tartan
vapid sierra
#

yk how you hold exsang to pair with a dm sometimes?

#

do you also hold sepsis for that pair?

#

or hold thge dm for the sepsis

rigid tartan
#

yeah thats all true. At the end the total dps matters in that case and if a spec gains its place by blasting hard later its fine. And they still might come around with new bosses that emphasize on big execute phases

limber lion
#

It's history

#

Remove it from your mind

#

It does not exist

vapid sierra
#

well then

drifting cloud
#

what doesnt exist

vapid sierra
#

do you hold sepsis to pair with last dm

limber lion
#

Just use Sepsis on cooldown

vapid sierra
#

no holding got it

limber lion
#

Ya

sick aspen
#

Cev, the DM thing would apply to trinkets/pi/etc as well?

limber lion
#

No more holding anything since the only thing we held is gonezo

#

everything on cd

#

let's goo

pulsar dirge
#

what point do we take?? im mid raid xD

vapid sierra
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
gusty mirage
pulsar dirge
#

Lightweight shiv?

limber lion
#

That's a pretty safe bet

limber lion
sick aspen
#

wasn't the point of pi to haste the bleeds but dm isn't copying the tickrate? or do I have that wrong

spice surge
#

Dont exsang and its fine

vapid sierra
#

so right here

#

do i not shiv right after sepsis and then garrote?

#

and then the blue garrote later on is just the reapply?

limber lion
vapid sierra
#

and also id bomb before dm right

chilly rock
#

hmm yeah im confused, the wowhead rotation page shows sepsis -> shiv -> gar -> deathmark. is it better to deathmark before shiv?

Don't need to rework a talent if no one uses it

Hey i wanted to do some Assa Keys which talent do i take instead Exsanguinate?

master assassin probably

i just saw pins

#

how logn has exsang been broken

oak sky
#

forever

gaunt moat

since around january

balmy condor

it's an issue with the tier

#

was fine during vault

limber lion

No it broke in January

We did research

No one knows

balmy condor

A MYSTERY

limber lion
#

Exsang change was in December

#

Super weird

hollow vault
#

why is our spec like this man

#

i just wanted the big exsang

late surge
#

so what talent do we take instead

lusty ermine
#

heyo, I've been playing sub rogue a lot but was thinking of swapping to Assassin for mythic ST raid fights, especially with the buff incoming tomorrow. Is assassin pretty easy to pick up?

proper tapir
balmy condor
#

I still haven't fully sifted through your last post

#

I found a couple gains though

#

DTB and AP simming bout the same

#

but DTB does like 15% more single target

bleak dove
#

do we sim nightly to see buffs or latest

balmy condor
#

to see buffs?

#

neither

#

they aren't out yet

tacit otter
#

the exsang thing could be considered a buff

balmy condor
#

the exsang thing is latest

subtle tundra
#

find 10% more for ap and you might play it on fort weeks

its gonna be more warlock changes

ahh okay

So, Just implement same builds w/o Exsang

limber lion
#

Pretty much

#

If you played single shiv, you probs want lightweight shiv + venom rush + 2p zoldyck

#

but it's a sim-yourself angle

winter gale
#

Yeah, will check from Whisp's sheet

clever perch
#

Bis stats for single target?

#

Because !fuu suggest a crit vers ring D:

#

@vestal wren

balmy condor
#

crit > mast >= haste >= vers

#

vers is the worst, but not far behind

clever perch
#

crit best for st?

storm onyx
clever perch
#

no im not

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that's the second bis raid

clever perch
#

but

balmy condor
#

raid doesn't drop that many rings

#

gotta pick one

clever perch
#

isnt this better?

balmy condor
#

nop

#

that's 441

storm onyx
clever perch
#

how is this ring better than the last one

vocal oracle
#

mythic level is higher than 441

clever perch
#

1007 vers better than 1007 mastery?

winter gale
#

Is this then a nerf to what we belived we can do?

balmy condor
vocal oracle
#

that's why you sim

clever perch
#

idk though vers is the worst stat for assa in st 😄

balmy condor
#

it is

#

the same way 2 is lower than 2.02

#

being the worse does not mean it's bad

#

the shortest player on a basketball team is still like 6'3

vocal oracle
#

it's just means typically the other stats are better

clever perch
#

how does the "always use" work=?

#

oh right, thank you ❤️

limber lion
#

Yeah, it just removes unnecessary iterations from the sim

I mean it still worked on the main bleed just not the duplicated ones lol so at least it wasnt a complete zero gain for the last few months

so like how much worse is it actually?

#

how bad does the bug make it

royal lantern
#

dont play it

#

period

vapid sierra
#

well yeahg

getting more dm bleed ticks was 90% of why you played exsangn

but how much worse numerically

Depends on profiles of course

Is assa a thing in M+ or just out of meta?

limber lion

Doesn't a spec being a "thing" mean it being meta

But I wouldn't probs push super hard on it

If you make the group, they can't kick ya

You can probably clear +20s with no talent points

Or maybe like 10 talent points to get Venomous Wounds at least

So, we drop exang and we go Master assa instead?

#

You are vastly understimating talents

#

20s are easy but not that easy to drop to 1/4th dps

thick sail
#

Considering it's possible to buy a M+ carry where you stand there and do 0 DPS and time the dungeon anyway, I am fairly confident that a geared, above average skill level rogue with only 10 talent points allocated could reasonably time a +20

cursive orchid
#

but that is bs

#

in that case you can time 20s with an assa without gear

#

Is there a noob channel or are dumb questions okay here, or can I send some mythic plus aoe questions to someone?

balmy condor
#

this is the place for dumb questions

#

but be aware that if it's in the FaQ or a guide, probably will be in there

#

if you got questions after that though

#

that's fine

dawn sparrow
#

Okay cool thanks! I'll try to batch my questions lol, fresh 70 and returning from BFA, first time rogue. One thing on the FAQ I could't tell but when should you use a consumable in the AOE rotation? Should you macro it to anything?

balmy condor
#

you can just macro it to deathmark

#

or carnage

#

either or

versed mica
#

Exang bug is a conspiracy to get blizzard to buff sin more, I'm whistleblowing

gusty mirage
#

go roll some dice pirate

thick sail
#

Is it okay to do that? I feel like having it just macroed to Deathmark or Carnage could mean you won't have the potion available during a Bloodlust, which to me seems like it'd be a DPS loss

#

But I also am not the one who makes these sims and I could very well be quite wrong

The question I am wondering... is how long has exsang been broken

keen spruce
#

which is a gain in execute

#

but bad overall

gusty mirage
#

at least

#

logs from december 28th were fine

#

then the next week

#

poof no worky

keen spruce
#

wasn't that when the exang tree move happened SusNotes

thick sail
#

So Exsanguinate just does nothing ATM?

keen spruce
#

it works on the bleed that's already on there

gusty mirage
#

it copies the damage amp and the duration

#

but not the tick rate from the exsanguinated bleed

#

so essentially

#

you get nothing out of the duplicated bleed

keen spruce
#

you're basically just doin a normal exang and a seperate deathmark atm

thick sail
#

Raid lead wants me to use wound poison on Zaqali assault to make Kagni heal less during final phase transition. Do mortal wounds debuffs actually work there?

gusty mirage

I mean it was an undocumented thing

so yeah?

you're inting your damage

#

tell them to have the DH spec into their MS instead of you bricking your damage for no reason

Ayyy

We got buffed

5%

shoulda been 50%

That buff hasn't happened yet, right

on reset

On reset

and it's actually closer to 4%

thick sail

Nice

vapid sierra

So like tmr mroning for na

because auras don't affect melee auto attacks

I’ll take a 4% buff tho

@balmy condor is it considered wrong to hold cooldowns for a boss if it's a bit close in a M+? Like let's say Deathmark just cooled down, and I have the choice to use it on the pack before the boss, or save it for the boss

#

It seems objectively right to save it to use on the boss (which might coincide with a lust) and to help burn the boss faster, which is generally a much deadlier fight than a standard pack of mobs

#

I mean I guess if you're playing with 4 extremely sweaty people, maximizing damage would mean just use it on the trash pack, but if we're in a more regular scenario (with PUGs for example), I feel like saving Deathmark for the boss makes sense here

the simdps answer is to slam it

@balmy condor makes sense to my lizard brain

but Speed > 100 dps

#

eat shit seli

marble hemlock
#

you make no sense, young man

#

avoidance = take less damage
100 dps = do more damage
speed = take less damage AND do more damage

balmy condor

yeah but you're wrong

because I'm right

#

and you're not agreeing with me

thats some girl logic if i ever heard one

strange python
#

my sim is valuing oddly i thought frozen rain was supposed to be better than skyshard

#

is that because my haste is so low?

balmy condor
#

plenty of reasons why it's the case

#

biggest one is just

#

your character has X stat, BiS might have Y

#

so if you have a worse ring

#

(like diurna)

#

GG, ring good

#

drops a lot of vers

#

just be like that

drifting cloud
#

youre comparing against eranog ring hmm

balmy condor
#

stats are weird

drifting cloud
#

do you have shadowflame on wep? then its even bigger increase because you can swap enchant back once you get rid of eranog

strange python
#

i dont

#

i have a skyshard that can be upgraded but i dont want to wast heoric crests on it if its not a good choice

#

but it seems like i should just send it for now

drifting cloud
#

x1 shadowflame with your current setup should be a gain

keen spruce
#

you can't really waste crests

drifting cloud
#

but getting a ring just better

keen spruce
#

once it's upgraded that slot doesn't have to use crests anymore shrugFreg

strange python
#

oh true i keep forgetting

drifting cloud
#

yeah you cant really waste them and the cap is so high now

#

you upgrade all slots before you run out pretty sure

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

The upgrade system is actually just free 441 ilvl as long as you have the base items

drifting cloud
#

I guess its like 17 slots, if you upgraded everything from 424 or whatever it would be 51 crests but you have sparks and some drops

#

and current cap is 40 crests iirc

balmy condor
#

Yeah but you also have 3 sparks

drifting cloud
balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

I’m just repeating what you said for emphasis

drifting cloud
keen spruce
#

I think was done with wyrms crests last week

#

as long as you're able to get into 19s and 20s asap

#

and save on a few

drifting cloud
#

yeah any hc raid drop reduces it

balmy condor
#

I definitely read that you said sparks, internalized it, thought about it, and then sent my message just to bring home the point

#

No other reality exists

#

thats okay, just do your maple dailies

Did anyone figure out what change caused the DM exsang interaction to break?

#

I know the pin says January, but I'm interested as to what change specifically seems to have broken it.

balmy condor
#

10.0.5

marble hemlock
#

whispyr broke it

#

he tripped over exsanguinate

#

and didnt realize it was unplugged

#

since january

drifting cloud
#

is it just me that finds it extra funny

#

that nobody noticed for 5months

velvet haven
#

it just found stepsis tech to find it

#

xdd

balmy condor
#

I mean really difficult to actually tell if you don’t know what you’re looking for right

autumn frost
#

Does our aoe rotation change at all between envenom and crimson tempest with the new seT?

#

I remember envenom was a slight dps increase but effectively they were the same

balmy condor
#

If you have the 4pc tier bonus it’s a gain to fish for poison bomb over spamming ct

#

You still want to maintain ct for the dot

#

And it’s only good if you can hit all the targets with the poison bomb

#

It’s a bit tricky if you aren’t running with like a bdk who’s mass gripping everything together

#

CT range is much larger than pb

autumn frost
#

Sounds like unless the tank is holding them in place, if we're moving ct spam

drifting cloud
balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

No exsang changes in patch notes either

#

So it’s just

#

One of those background changes that isn’t listed anywhere

drifting cloud
#

atleast if you compare it to like NS

#

but I guess that one sticks out more

ruby birch
#

im ready to raid guys

cant wait to poison the boss

brisk tapir
#

Nothing to proc eranog ring?

ruby birch
#

not running eranog ring when i play the spec

but i have bomb for it as sub

#

it's jiga bait though, ring proc only goes off once or twice a fight and does practically no damage

eranog ring is out simming every other ring at 441 is that normal

What do you guys do to make sure you always have shiv for the end of sepsis? Is the play to always just Sepsis > Insert random spell here > Shiv since that extra global should put shiv exactly 2sec into sepsis so its there for the end or is that too close and you should delay the shiv global to make sure theres some overhang?

balmy condor
#

usually sepsis->gar->shiv

plain moon
#

okay so just 1global in between them will always be enough? Just was worried about them being so close that maybe the damage at the end of sep would have any delay

balmy condor
#

nop, it's good enough

#

there's enough latency to cover

plain moon
#

ty:) Its not always gar tho right? Like in the opener it would be deathmark

fossil garnet

just read the exsang stuff, whats the change to m+ talents?

ma with ss Cring

could be like zerocool

and play exsang and MA

for reasons

plain moon
#

When gar is falling off and ur going to refresh it with vanish, is it correct to let it fall of fully since in vanish you can cast 2 gars and get full pandemic imp gar anyways?

balmy condor
#

double gar with imp gar isn't a gain outside of exsang prep

#

and since we don't play exsang anymore

#

tldr is don't double gar

plain moon
#

Why do you do it then 🤔

balmy condor
#

because I have brain damage

#

and I see gar give 3cp

#

and it gives me dopamine

#

the difference isn't that high

#

so I'm just a for fun gamer

gar giving 1 cp is so cringe

Wait until you vanish during dm for that omega dopamine hit

is there a soft cap on crit? I

I'm looking at the sims and it looks like a lot of gear has haste instead of crit

balmy condor

the soft cap for crit is when your sim tells you to not take more crit

balmy condor

I don't like the ones that are meant to be satisfying. Like the ones where their putting paint on nails or soap cutting

i mean i do

thats why i have kb and sepsis tags

or give assa RTB, with that you can always roll before a dungeon if KB or DTB gets a dps increase

Kingsbane now lashes out at the target, inflicting (340% + 340%) Posion damage and reducing healing speed by 60% for 8 sec. Grants 30 Energy over 6 sec.

(i have no idea about pvp, wanted to play it, got stuck at 1.7k and gave up)

limber lion

The plan was to rework/remove exsang anyways and this does just that. It removes it from the game

Just an empty node on the tree

The new 2p is also bugged u cant get a restealth in pvp because of it , cheat death also bugged sad af

#

Or Twist the Knife

balmy condor

yeah definitely. They had a bugged ability for 6 months and then now that we found it they're going to announce a rework, like an easter egg hunt. That seem very logical, super reasonable, and not in any way deranged for how a multi-billion dollar company operates at all. You're so right

hollow dirge
#

just remove exan. majority of the spec enjoyers don't like it, it's bugged af, and there's plenty of other options that they already created, not even requiring tons of work to get it set up. both torghast and heart of azeroth had some good stuff. think veinripper would be great in order to give assa a bit more aoe on demand, it fits the fantasy of the spec, aaand it would give us the good old playstyle of applying dots manually(for those of us that actually like that), atleast on the pulls where you have vanish up. certainly a pipe dream though

clever sapphire
#

give us a finisher thats relevant in aoe and not like "sure you can press CT or envenom, it doesnt really matter tbh"

if we shoulde be using exanguin
whats the ST build looking like?

like the faq

never used it :O

Why didn’t you cancel your raid tonight and update every resource for sin rogues in 1 hour Susge

balmy condor

so you're super out of the loop

warm vortex
#

yea lol XD

#

is it just smth you use off cd i assuem

balmy condor
#

would suggest the faq

clever sapphire
#

what if we make kingsbane do more dmg in a key/bossfight if you killed 100 critters with KB before going into the fight. But it now does like 70% more dmg

royal lantern
blazing jewel
#

True and real

warm vortex
royal lantern
#

both are good ST

#

play what you enjoy more

#

cus you will not be the big dmg guy on all 3specs dracthyr_kek

warm vortex
#

ok also what does it mean in the faq about poiosoins?
should we not use deadly or like
should we?

blazing jewel
#

If you don’t play 100% optimal in all situations we will find you

warm vortex
#

idk im dense as hell

safe wigeon
#

which build is good for m+

clever sapphire
#

all of them

#

AP+IC+CB, DTB+IC, DTB+AP

#

probably DTB+IC is your safest and easiset bet

warm vortex
#

wait did they make assa good in m+ now?

limber lion
#

No

clever sapphire
#

nope

#

they are all good for assa, but none actually good for m+ xD

warm vortex
#

oof

#

yea, i just play sub and yknow

#

do my like 2 button rotation then secret tech

#

i remember hitting master in saeason 1 with assa
it was p bad

clever sapphire
#

tbh currently i enjoy the ap ic cb build in m+

#

my boss dmg is also fine since its fort week and bosses die fast enough

warm vortex
#

i havent touched assa m+ in ages

clever sapphire
#

its big effort for mid payout

warm vortex
#

THAT

#

this was

#

the BIGGEST problem i had in season 1

clever sapphire
#

well its the same

warm vortex
#

its like it takes a lot more effort than sub
but had WAY less dmg

clever sapphire
#

but im keeping up and even being top dps in my pugging 20s so fine with me

royal lantern
clever sapphire
#

if i were to push keys and go for 23-24 and whatnot i could still do okay, anything after its gonna be pretty hard to not be nitpicked for not playing sub i assume

clever sapphire
warm vortex
#

hmm
im mixed about sepsis rn
trying to get the rotatioN
might play sub for single target once i get the 4 set

#

i mean

#

outlaw seems good atm

#

i just play sub

clever sapphire
#

sepsis rota is pretty easy

#

press it on cooldown

#

press garrote

#

second sepsis proc you use at the last second before it falls oof

#

off

warm vortex
#

fair
i mean it seems much more simple than the rotten rotation
which i aint even daring to play

okie ye
might try it next raid night
prolly sticing to sub for sarkareth tho

clever sapphire
#

i mean you can play the normal sub build too, its not that far behind

warm vortex
#

yea ik
im not saying im playing rotten

clever sapphire
#

its probably similiar to not playing exsang (not like anyone does now that we found out its bugged)

remember when you went KB for execute? i do

Don’t do that

We don’t drop shrouded normally though

i have a good question i think i know the answer to but im gonna just ask to make sure

balmy condor
#

Oo a good question

#

Now you have my attention

shell osprey

if you do take KB you use amp poison right, not deadly

vapid sierra

Yeah Ik, but it doesn’t seem to do much in st apart extra cp

ok, just making sure

If you take Amp Poison, you use it

And you don't take TTK

Amp > deadly > you’re trolling

shell osprey

well

i trolled last week
