why do we delay the first garrote in sepsis SusNotes doesn't that extra time just get picked up on the 2nd one

gusty mirage
#

now I get to press garrote and rupture slightly faster?

keen spruce
#

i always just sepsis -> garrote in the opener

gusty mirage
keen spruce
#

right after that

gusty mirage
#

sepsis > DM > shiv

#

fits all of shiv into the sepsis window

#

you're wasting a global smh

keen spruce
#

but we have 2 shivs

gusty mirage
#

whatever will you do without that like 8 dps

keen spruce
gusty mirage
#

I can't believe you wouldn't press every single global perfectly like the robot that's programmed to do so

#

just delete your rogue tbh

keen spruce

#

hol up we have two shivs? did I miss something

#

didnt check talents since we added sepsis to it

gusty mirage
#

ye you play lightweight shiv and venom rush in the non-exsang build

#

ya we take double shiv now

mhm

#

also i've now run quicksim like 30 times each with bomb and beacon in swapped slots

#

if beacon in 13 it crits twice in 5m sim

#

if beacon in 14 it crits once

gentle gyro
#

hey at least you have beacon

proven jasper
#

lucky number 13 i guess

keen spruce
#

and dice still sims higher for me no matter which one i put it in KEKPog

gentle gyro
#

I only have this

proven jasper
#

im so glad i got rid of fragment yesterday

gentle gyro
#

BECAUSE I NEVER GET LOOT FROM A 17 OR ABOVE

yeah fragment bait fr

gentle gyro
#

hey im all for managing one less active

proven jasper
#

nelth trink sims 6k higher than frag for me lmfao

keen spruce
#

I'm holding out hope that when fragment sims are fixed it wasn't as bad as we thought

gusty mirage
#

it doesn't seem to like to subtract stacks when you mutilate

#

for whatever reason

gusty mirage
#

and it might actually be worse

#

lol

keen spruce
#

maybe whispyr spreadsheet estimate had a mistake COPIUM

proven jasper
#

also yeah having two actives made me want to kms

gentle gyro
#

tbf bomb dispenser isn't an active

proven jasper
#

true but it still puts ur other trink on a 10 sec cd

i just bacon after the first garrote

I agree it's not the most exciting button, but saying that it doesn't change the rotation is not true

Exsang heavily changed the rotation and the rules of the core spec

limber lion
#

Like in 9.2?

#

No thanks

gentle gyro
#

....once every 4 min and all it did was speed up your bleeds

proven jasper
#

hehe xd

limber lion
#

We had that already, no more

visual coyote
#

Is wowanalyzer working for assa or should I not bother any insight?

proven jasper
#

oh yeah they did that with vendetta didnt they

#

in 9.2

limber lion
#

You had to force reapplications and you had to make sure to let the exsanguinated bleeds drop entirely before reapplying

gusty mirage
#

and we love him for it

limber lion
#

Like saying that it doesn't change rotation or how you play is just bs

proven jasper

yeah i played outlaw in sl i didnt even know

hi bb

hi qt

visual coyote
main vessel
#

which CD are you looking for

#

or by cd analysis do you mean analysis of whether or not the usage of the cd was good

visual coyote
#

I guess this is like a wishlist but if each deathmark showed the length of rupture and garrote they captured and if you used other cds in that same window

errant swallow
#

I guess I should start recrafting everything out of vers for crit and mastery

keen spruce
#

@main vessel u did the wowanalyzer update? you beautiful creature pepeSalute

#

new wowanalyzer makes me moist

visual coyote
#

Also its impossible to be 100% efficient on vanish usage right as your pull it isnt used? or should I use it earlier

main vessel
#

the efficiency is legitimately "did you use every possible cast"

#

I've talked to Whispyr about how he wants it to start counting from like 15s into a pull

gusty mirage
#

given we hold first vanish you'll probably never get a good % on vanish

main vessel
#

I haven't had the time to fully dig into how

errant swallow
gusty mirage
visual coyote
#

Aight makes sense if you want some inspo the mistweaver one for the ramp cd is nice 🙂

errant swallow
#

Don't have toxic crafted either, but should be a small difference with slimy

keen spruce
#

next spark is swappin slimeys to toxic for me smoge

#

forever 443 ilvl

visual coyote
#

Just one of those things when I'm re learning the spec going into normal getting 95-100 bracket parse and green analyzer not sure what to look at next

gusty mirage
#

was considering cloak but eventually want sark cloak

#

seems not worth

#

or maybe a ring

keen spruce
#

toxic upgrade is biggest by a huge margin for me smoge

MAYBE THATS HOW I DROP ANNULET?

@keen spruce time to upload your weakaura package with icons for everyone

balmy condor
#

You’d have to download all the icons separately is the issue

keen spruce
#

yeah it's not a WA

#

just a peepo folder in my interface

swift magnet
limber lion
#

Even if Fragment did sim higher, it would still probably be worse than horn

#

because it oversims

swift magnet
#

so my friend should keep horn? fuu's list frag higher

limber lion

Read the pins

swift magnet

thx

are we using beacon after DM?

clever sapphire

after first garrote

balmy condor
#

Typically before so you don’t wait like 25 seconds and waste a cast

eternal vortex
#

ah okay thank you

clever sapphire
#

use it prepull than insta vanish and do opener normally kekw

clever sapphire

now we can also do prepull shittery

whispyr gonna hate me for bringing up his secret technique

look we're not usin our vanish anyways sip

they'd have to add another 0 to the damage of raid horn to get me to use it KEK

This Melandrus ring… still simming higher than any 424 I have.

someone has a WA to track if current garrote is empowered? at best one i can copy into my own WA setup. i know luxxthos has that logic but i m not smart enough to copy and edit it...

vapid sierra
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
keen spruce
#

then drag the copy wherever you want

vapid sierra
#

so

#

why is no shadowflame simming better

#

i get free eranog procs from the ring

keen spruce
#

cuz shadowflame by itself is terrble

#

and erranog ring does not that much damage

#

and you still have flaring cowl on

#

which is perma procing it

vapid sierra
#

i simnmed that one without cowl

#

check the sim

#

i dropped cowl for toxic patch

#

i already have boots

fathom nest
# keen spruce you don't need to edit it

yea i know that but i dont like everything else about this WA. like glows/text etc and im kinda scared to try and change thing to my liking but maybe i give it a shot

If I am getting full combo points or 5 combo points, what finisher should I be using if all the bleeds are running?

#

Envenom?

keen spruce
#

yeah that looks about what i'd expect

#

shadowflame just kinda ass

#

and you only run it to enable eggnog

#

which also doesn't do that much dmg

#

skyshard is well statted and much higher ilvl

stats better

can i get the toxified armor patch on boots aswell or does it need to be on wrists for some reason? 🙂

oh my god i mean haste XDDDDDD

wrist, belt, or hat

keen spruce

i mean yeah sims will probably want you to get some once you have a good amount of crit/mast

but it's fine to have low haste

compared to our competition

0% lol xd

gloomy dust

i just main subtetly, maybe switching to assa someday, but i'll still main subt until i get some gear

you need the embellishment toxic thorns or slimy to even make use of that patch

gloomy dust

oh ofc lmao

tacit otter

theres no real reason to put it on boots

keen spruce

but like

okay someone else answered lol

i need the slimy boots there

ah right, the toxic torn footwraps then

oh damn just crafted slimy 😄

balmy condor

That’s fine

gentle apex
#

Anyone have a good weak aura for tracking empowered sepsis garrotes vs regular ones

balmy condor
#

The only way you’ll notice that slimy is worse

#

Is if you sim

#

You’ll never notice in game

keen spruce
#

tracks empowered garrotes

night delta
#

yeah i did that too, i'll replace the slimy with thorns when i have nothing else to replace with crafted

keen spruce
#

dunno about the other common UIs

spice spire
keen spruce
#

he said the thing

night delta
#

if anything, knowing you have less haste will be enough to make you feel it

#

placebo effect

keen spruce
#

as a haste feel enjoyer

#

i didn't even know slimy's lowered you haste

#

until they said the sims were bugged to not account for it

night delta
#

slimy lowers your haste and has no haste, compared to thorns

#

that's double the haste loss

spice spire
#

This mf ain’t read a tooltip a day in his life

keen spruce

you're goddamn right

I just do what yall tell me

why you holding me back bruh

then yall said toxic boots untrustworthy

and shoulders are cringe

so i made slimey's

never even looked at what they did

With exang dead at moment is bone spike over sepsis still viable?

#

Would we use ambush then when we have sepsis procing the stealthed ability?

tacit otter
night delta
#

mostly always

tacit otter
#

the only time i consume a sepsis buff with ambush is when the boss is about to die and i still have emp garrote the rest of the fight applied

static glacier
#

so uh, where are the 10.1.5 changes for rogue

night delta
#

but yes, unless mob is dead or you've got better (vanish / exsang'd) garrote up, you go garrote

static glacier
#

or was that announcement a meme

tacit otter
night delta
#

last time I checked we were told to just fire on cooldown sepsis, which could align with an emp'd garrote on 6+min fights

#

it might have changed though

tacit otter
#

afaik you just repeat opener on min 6 no? theres barely any boss that surv that long anyways

night delta
#

well that all depends on your raid team 2ez

#

just checked the guide, it is indeed more in-depth that when I last checked it

gusty mirage
#

🔮: ask again later

#

sorry

#

I got nothing

static glacier
#

bruh we've been scammed

spice spire
#

Believe it or not, unexpected things may occasionally happen. Like a work force getting dwindled by getting a decision to come back to the office, among other things.

#

Patience friends

#

There’s been no scam yet

static glacier
#

I like to keep an optimistic outlook and genuinely believe in the dev team

#

but bruh they said we'd get changes this coming patch, nothing yet

#

they announced it

night delta
#

I just don't expect anything one way or the other

#

just go with the flow

static glacier
#

this spec has been a meme forever

#

litterally the last "archaic" style aoe dot spec in existence

#

all other dot specs actually do aoe and it's not just apply dots and wait

#

the modern game is different to how it used to be

night delta
#

I just liked spamming FoK with echoing blades

static glacier
#

last time we were good in keys was end of bfa and it was due to FoK azerite trait being busted

night delta
#

(I know, sacrilege, bruh, L take etc)

#

there's something appealing to fillling out your screen with CRIT numbers

#

and instant feedback of your dps going to the stratosphere on big pulls

#

(and then being out-stratosphered by a fire mage combustin')

Probably very dumb question incoming:

#

Do I need to upgrade the weakauras themselves, or does simply updating the Weakaura addon via curseforge update the weakauras contained within?\

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
#

but wago has a WA companion app that kind of automates it for you in game

#

I'd look into that for keeping WAs up to date

thick sail
#

Is there a link that explains how to do that, or do you have an explanation for an old boomer?

gusty mirage
#

ye I gotchu

tacit otter
thick sail
#

good man

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
#

the icon looks like this:

#

so you'd open up WA click that and it'll let you update with like 2-3 clicks

thick sail
#

Very cool, I'm installing the companion now, we'll see what happens

gusty mirage
#

vs going to each WA individual page and manually importing

thick sail
gusty mirage
#

I'm assuming you have way more than just afenars

thick sail
#

This is what I see; does "Up to date" mean it's good? Or could it mean my WA simply hasn't seen any updates since I installed it back in like... Shadowlands

gusty mirage
#

or do you just have afenar's pack

thick sail
#

I think that's all I have

gusty mirage
#

yea then you're good to go

#

it's up to date

#

what I do is every 2-3 weeks I launch the app and check if any of my WA's are out of date

thick sail
#

Oh, very cool; I've seen people talking about being able to see their Sepsis procs and their empowered Garrotes which I don't think this WA does

#

So I thought maybe mine was out of date

#

So either mine doesn't track those, or I'm an idiot and just not seeing that it does

gusty mirage
#

yeah I'm not sure if afenar does or doesn't tbh

#

I use atrocitys ui pack

thick sail
#

Maybe I should look into that one; got a link?

gusty mirage
#

it's paywalled behind his twitch stream

#

so if you have a twitch prime you could toss it his way, and then it's a channel on his discord where he hosts it

thick sail
#

Oh, understood

#

I don't have Twitch; as stated above, boomer status

#

But! If I get fed up with this addon, I'll think about paying him

gusty mirage
#

the luxthos one is updated afaik

#

might be worth checking that out instead of dumping cash on a whole UI overhaul

#

cause it comes with elvui and a bunch of other stuff

#

that you may or may not be looking for

thick sail
keen spruce
#

pretty sure only luxthos is updated for sepsis

thick sail
#

Looks like this is all I have, I'm assuming this is just the one WA, right?

gusty mirage
#

yeah that's his pack

#

its a buncha dif weakauras packaged into one

keen spruce
#

but if you have any customization on your WAs then the companion app will overwrite them when they update

#

like frogs

balmy condor
#

it's the same thing

#

but I took the empowered garrote guts out of luxthos thing

#

and shoved it into that package

thick sail
#

Oh, that's great news

keen spruce
#

whipsyr pack very fancy

thick sail
#

Whisp, let me show you my (very basic and shitty) UI and you let me know if swapping to yours will dramatically change how this looks

balmy condor
#

sure

thick sail
balmy condor
#

should be fine

#

the sepsis markers might be a bit big

#

but it fits in the same space

thick sail
#

big is good, my eyes are old

#

my cursor size is maxed

#

gf makes fun of me for it

#

so to use yours, would I just delete this WA entirely, copy yours, then paste it in and import? or does it somehow combine with this one

tacit otter
thick sail
#

Okay, I'm checking on how to "shut off" the Aefnar one, but I'm right clicking and reading elsewhere on the WA addon, I'm not seeing how to get it into the "Not Loaded" section without just deleting it

tacit otter
#

theres a "load" tab where you can select "never" that should do it

thick sail
#

that worked perfectly, thanks

#

Gonna give Whispyr's a try!

#

Looking good so far, thanks @balmy condor

Thanks friends

Big yikes

austere fulcrum
#

On experiments Mythic, we Bl at 1:18 after 2nd boss comes down, would u guys suggest keeping Mark for that or hit at start

#

I was hitting at start, usual opener was fine but giving a second thought now

balmy condor
#

kinda depends on how slow your raid group is

#

cause there's like 4:30 kill times and 6:30 kill times

#

if you're around 5 minutes, 5:30

#

holding would lose you a cast

#

if you're at like 5:50, 6 min

#

you could hold for that minute

#

if you're like 4:45, you could also hold

#

but at no point do you ever want to lose a cast

austere fulcrum
#

I think our kill will be between 5:30 to 6:15 ish. Best try %7 5.52 min

#

So it is better to use it at start

#

And dont mind Bl

#

Thank u @balmy condor

Does echo of nelth trinket have good uptime?

It does sim higher than my 437 dice but for only 300dps

When i won the roll i was like, holy damn, this must be an huge upgrade, since i didn't even have 441 trinkets yet

But we'll, 300dps, we take those xD

balmy condor
#

One pull you’ll be at 7

#

Next you’ll be at 37

#

Very cool

tacit otter
#

my nelth trinket is significantly lower than 441 essence, so be glad its an upgrade^^

normal mist
#

Would you recommend it vs a dice437 @balmy condor ? Or just trust the sim process and not even think much about it

weak horizon
#

Trust the sims 🙏

balmy condor

Idk is recommend is the right word

normal mist
balmy condor
#

But it would be more consistent

#

So if that’s what you’re looking for

normal mist
#

Tbh, altough i like to parse and do well and not rely on random stuff (like 2/3 crits from beacon), i think I'll just use it. Might get lucky on some kills and absolutely improve my previous parses

#

I'm yet to kill sark tho, haven't even tried him in heroic

keen spruce
#

i'd also plop neth trinket into the "random stuff" category

Yeah ik ik, I'll try it tomorrow on our prog on sark

Just like irl

Lowkey surprised that there's not more sin on sark

#

It seems better to me. But it's all just sub.

fossil garnet
#

It was objectively worse than sub before this reset

#

so not that weird

gaunt moat
#

Most rogue players played sub, since it outperformed sin.
so they're geared and practiced for sub
no real point for them to go sin at this point

strange python
#

I'm not convinced that's true either.

fossil garnet
#

its true

#

100%

strange python
#

It sims similarly on single target but gets actual value from haste.

It kinda sucks at prioing a target I guess

violet talon
#

Not really worth for someone who is geared/practiced on Sub to switch Sin at this point because it maybe performs on par or 1% better

#

They would probably lose any potential "sim" benefit by way of not being as good at the rotation for a while

fossil garnet
#

not really, sin is pretty straight forward, takes less than 10min to understand it completely

gaunt moat
#

I just said that starege

keen spruce
#

sin was extra not good at sark

#

cuz of 90s timers with sepsis

gaunt moat
keen spruce
#

sin has a decently high floor for a wow spec

#

not a crazy high ceiling though

#

if you've seen some of the logs i've seen

fossil garnet
#

maybe Im a biased +6yr sin 1trick and thats why I dont look at it like you do

#

to me it is the easiest if not 1 of the 3 easiest dps specs

gaunt moat
#

they say sub is easy, but i can't play it.

keen spruce
#

yeah i mean i've played sin forever and it feels very ez and straight forward. but for new people to the spec they tend to struggle a bit to figure out some of the knick nacs

#

but it is low apm

#

and pretty forgiving to most mistakes

fossil garnet
#

low apm, few things to think about/track and very easy execution

keen spruce
#

new players are bad at dot management generally

gaunt moat
gusty mirage
fossil garnet
#

I mean there is a reason why I chose sin over sub in legion when I started playing

#

it was much easier to understand

#

and very simple gameplay

wind condor
#

echo gotta be the least fun fight ever

keen spruce
#

i been hearin this

fossil garnet
#

not looking forwad to it

keen spruce
#

if we don't spend all fkin weekend on rashcock

#

i might get to join in your pain

gaunt moat
keen spruce
#

we had to cancel raid last sunday cuz servers were taking a fat dump

#

our warlocks and DKs were only hitting like 120k in their openers

#

cuz they were losing like half of their globals

fossil garnet
#

you guys have any class trinkets on the locks?

keen spruce
#

i think we had a couple pulls close to single digits

fossil garnet
#

we had our 2nd drop today

keen spruce
#

before they took a shit tho

#

we have 1

#

2 locks 1 trinket

#

we've seen like 3 paladin trinkets

gaunt moat
#

I'm dying to replace my fragment too. done like 5 freeholds today. nothing.

keen spruce
fossil garnet
#

bruh I swear that fight doesnt die before locks have their trinkets

keen spruce
#

no rogue/boomkin/dk

fossil garnet
#

we have circus comp tho

keen spruce
#

freehold gulag

fossil garnet
#

imagine farming fragment kekw

#

thank god I hate 2 on use trinekts

gaunt moat
wind condor
#

sin absolutely fuckin rips on it tho

#

so ya'll top every pull for the most part

fossil garnet
#

I was like, do I farm fragment and suffer before I get beacon or do I settle with a dice and have fun instead

wind condor
#

atleast that feels good

keen spruce
#

I farmed fragment

#

then i got a 447 fragment

#

then i got a beacon this week

#

and now i have to farm dice

gaunt moat
#

I'm at 441 bomb / 441 fragment

#

vault had bomb and anvil Cring

fossil garnet
#

but now class trinket looks like its worth getting (at mythic) and 441 dice is like 200 sim dps lower than hc beacon so I will prob just pray for class trinket from vault when nelth dies

strange python
fossil garnet
#

prob replied to me

#

but I get you

keen spruce
#

we're not sayin sin is some giga brain genius spec

#

but i have noticed new players seems to struggle on it from an understanding angle

fossil garnet
#

Im saying its the smol brain spec

strange python
#

Unironically sin is the most complex of the three rogue specs.

fossil garnet
#

no shot

keen spruce
#

sub and outlaw are just a little faster

fossil garnet
#

lol

gaunt moat
#

outlaw is very simple, but hard to execute

strange python
#

Have you played sub at all this expansion?

fossil garnet
#

outlaw is adhd wrist killer

fossil garnet
keen spruce
#

more piano fingers, but also pressing the wrong button on outlaw hurts your dps like 0%

strange python
#

Unless you're playing rotten, which is a bit overstated in how complex it is, sub is maybe the easiest spec in the entire game across all classes.

#

It's melee BM right now.

keen spruce
#

eh

#

with flag and 4 set

strange python
#

And outlaw is super straight forward, it's just fast.

gaunt moat
#

I find sub impossible to play. somehting's wrong with my brain.

fossil garnet
#

same

keen spruce
#

sub has some hinkey mechanics now

fossil garnet
#

too many buttons for me

keen spruce
#

yeah i ran outta binds

#

i had to take smoke bomb off my bars KEK

fossil garnet
#

I see 1-2 too many binds and say fuck it and go back to sin every tier

gaunt moat
#

it's like.. i hate the shadow dance windows.
i get stressed by them.

fossil garnet
#

I slam the keys during dance

#

prob just better for keyboard if I play sin

#

dance=huge dam=gotta slam those buttons

gaunt moat
#

hah yeah something like that.
sin is calmer, you vanish.. you garrote, you DM... back to rotation.

fossil garnet
#

nah but Im pretty hapy with sin now

#

escept for the cringe 6.30 timer on rashok

#

like, let me x a bit more

gaunt moat
#

yeah, that';s a bit stressful cause you kinda send DMs the moment they're up

fossil garnet
#

yea but I do like that it makes the rotation a little more interactive

#

(for the first 10 pulls ofc)

#

btw any thoughts on sin in m+?

#

Im not getting invited so cant really tell

craggy oak
fossil garnet
#

wish fok did more

#

like reliably gave cps

#

or did dmg

craggy oak
#

atm ic jsut makes sin sub 2.o but does less dmg

fossil garnet
#

and st is boring af with that build

#

been cooking on basically going full st build during tyrann

craggy oak
#

idk rogue in gutter sin supper cope hanging onto the 10.1.5 changes dream, even sub kinda ass atm jsut tuned quite nicely, both specs need looking at, sin more so, outlaw seems fine

craggy oak
fossil garnet
#

well sub can at least do both aoe and st in the aoe build

craggy oak
fossil garnet
#

ah ye ofc

#

idk maybe outlaw is the play for now until sin feels better in m+

#

something just feels off

craggy oak
#

doing no dmg and a dot spec not caring about dots after ic, sumin off there

fossil garnet
#

guess it feels better in higher keys where you get better line ups for ic

#

just timing wise

craggy oak
#

^^

grim jay
#

Isnt even much that would be needed to feel decently enjoyable

craggy oak
wind condor
#

THEY HEARD MY CRIES

#

LETS FUCKING GOO9OOOOOOOOO

#

the "space spot" isnt the size of a penny now

#

hella room

drifting cloud
#

thats a big nerf this early

thin gate
#

guys

#

is it true that assa is playable with close to 0 haste?

balmy condor
#

Yes

thin gate
#

so we just go crit=mastery>vers?

balmy condor
#

What

#

Being playable doesn’t mean haste is bad

thin gate
#

or how do we fill the stats then

craggy oak
#

crit mastery haste vers

thin gate
#

im ~17% rn on howling runes

craggy oak
#

but do what robot tells you

thin gate
#

yhh

balmy condor
#

Ye

craggy oak
#

there is no magic number

thin gate
#

no i thought some nieche came up in a talk be4

craggy oak
#

unless you are bis geared

balmy condor
#

17% haste is a ton tbh

craggy oak
#

people in dsic can not possible say what stats are best for you

#

even whispyr with his nerd powers and magic crystal ball

balmy condor
#

I got a pretty good idea :P

#

But yeh

#

Micro optimizations ain’t it

vapid sierra
#

i just got bomb in a heroic pug

#

but like i feel bad taking it

#

its only 0.5%

thin gate
#

take it

vapid sierra
#

compared to like 3/4% of someone else

thin gate
#

always

#

its a pug

#

u think people would g a f?

shut owl
#

bomb is nutty

thin gate
#

people roll on items they have in pugs

vapid sierra
#

the issue is the second highest roll is my friend

whole mason
#

Oh, shadow!

vapid sierra
#

i already have call to suffering and beacon

drifting cloud
#

ok? then give him the trinket why you asking us

whole mason
#

is current sim updated with the buff?

drifting cloud
#

yes

whole mason
#

thanks

shut owl
#

finally checked out analyzer for sin; this is juicy o-o

wind condor
#

haste was actually big for me

#

seal of unquestionalble loyalties was a 900dps gain over eggnog ring

#

because i was at like 2% lol

digital mica
shut owl
#

check the pins, but yes

tacit otter
keen spruce
#

sims like haste

#

but like not 18% normally

drifting cloud
#

its also eggnog ring, probably loses to any 441 ring, maybe not some 1k vers one

keen spruce
#

my sims yeeted eggnog very quickly

#

shadowflame wreathe just very hotdog water

balmy condor
#

Post aura buff Shadowflame wreathe is basically dead tbh

#

It was very minor for people beforehand

#

Probably next to nothing now

#

No point in getting it

minor gate
#

What enchant are we using now

tawdry cobalt
#

is there a WA to track the sephsis buffs?

minor gate
#

Sophic?

balmy condor
#

Yep still sophic

tawdry cobalt
#

do mutilates use the buff?

drifting cloud
balmy condor
balmy condor
#

Is mutilate a stealth ability

minor gate
#

Another week another echo kill

#

Another shammy class trinket

#

At least I can now make the armour patch

tacit otter
tawdry cobalt
tacit otter
#

oh actually? i was trying to troll

#

peophammer 2x

gilded oasis
gusty mirage
#

can snag up those crimson vial buffs

ruby birch
#

25 yards of space outta nowhere

#

more

#

with this change you might be able to do every set without double stacking

thick sail
#

@balmy condor your WA is great. Huge thumbs up

tawdry cobalt
#

@balmy condor I'm pretty sure mutilate is using the sephsis buff

#

unless the WA is just wrong

woeful meteor
#

Is ambush on your mutilate button i stealth bar?

gilded oasis
#

are you sure you dont have ambush on your stealth bar and when it swaps over you are thinking you are using mutilate but you are actually using ambush

tawdry cobalt
#

oof

gusty mirage
#

did you see the changes to the shatter

#

Fixed an issue where Neltharion immediately melee his target after casting Calamitous Strike on all difficulties.

Added a slight delay before the same player can trigger an additional stack of Shatter after destroying Twisted Earth on all difficulties.

Volcanic Heart’s radius reduced from 25 yards to 20 yards on Mythic difficulty.```
ruby birch
#

we in p3 sark now

#

soon freedom

drifting cloud
#

@gusty mirage they nerfed echo so grey could kill it

#

prove me wrong

#

qwik was feeling sorry for tmsean

grim tangle
#

well qwik's guild is also on echo

oak sky
#

used to be ion now its qwik

ruby birch
#

wait

#

did they just nerf it

#

oh

#

echo

#

i thought that was sark for some reason

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
drifting cloud
#

they are now!

balmy condor
drifting cloud
#

as per usual the timing big suck for my guild

#

gonna lose even more wrs even tho we kill boss under 100 pulls prenerf unluck

#

unless we kill sark in 3 raids

still leaf
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
peak bobcat
#

Do we hold one of our shivs for sepsis?

keen spruce
#

you want at least one yeah

#

i normally just float one stack

#

don't hit 2

#

and dump both in sepsis as long as i'll have one for deathmark

peak bobcat
#

Yeah I’d never overcap that’s cring

keen spruce
#

and dump the remaining at the end of the fight

#

idk if optimal

still leaf
#

when do you normally use stepsis in rotation? been thinking about actually learning it

keen spruce
#

but good enough for me

#

on CD

keen spruce
#

then on cooldown

#

after that

still leaf
#

oh ok so just like bonespike?

shut owl
#

slightly more nuanced than bonespike; but yes, send it

#

also makes for a juicy button to slam on fortified week for having empowered garrotes on every IC no matter how cursed your tank's pulling style is kek

#

is it optimal for m+? no; but its fun

still leaf
#

honestly i was thinking about trying the ap/ic build anyway since most of my keys are just 10-15s with friends messing around

#

cant be that much worse can it?

shut owl
#

I'd imagine its probably in whispyrs sims somewhere

thorn fjord
#

Don’t make the mistake I made and make sure to have mutilate on your stealth bar OMEGAKEKW

shut owl
#

yeah... had to do a lot of reconfiguring of my bars to add mutilate for raid and fok/ct for m+ stealth bars lol

still leaf
shut owl
#

when I swapped off of sepsis-exsang I failed to realize I still had garrote where my mut was in my stealth bar. completely overwrote my emp gar like 3 times on prog attempts before realizing wtf was going on

keen spruce
shut owl
#

pins/faq have a good how-to/why

thorn fjord
#

You want to refresh your improved garrotes so when the sepsis buff comes up youll still want to continue as usual to try and get pand on imp gar

still leaf
#

yep i should really go over them again, and im also realizing im probably overwriting my empowered garrote by garroting again out of stealth in opener

shut owl
#

notter's and zugthug's sepsis WA's are super handy for it

#

added zug's bars on top of seli's bars for buff timers; then just used the color coding of notter's since it helps me make sure that I use blindside without accidently using the sepsis proc

keen spruce
#

whispyr's afenar edit w/e pack has a sepsis tracker and empowered garrote tracker

still leaf
#

oh so just to be clear, garroting from stealth in opener and then immediately garroting again out of stealth isnt screwing it over?

keen spruce
#

i mean don't do that

#

but also it's not messing you up

#

cuz of subterfuge

still leaf
#

i should probably just read the opener in pins honestly

shut owl
#

yes

keen spruce
#

it's messing you up cuz you're wasting a global lol

#

yes pins nodders

shut owl
#

if we weren't using sepsis it would be close enough to not matter

keen spruce
#

w/o sepsis you'd vanish in the opener anyways

shut owl
#

yeah

keen spruce
#

and probably still wouldn't need to double garrote

shut owl
#

you don't need to

keen spruce
#

basically the 6 extra seconds from double garroting isn't worth the gobal being used on something else

shut owl
#

but it made the exsang opener slightly more chill

keen spruce
#

but it's not that big of a deal

#

either way

#

yeah with exang you did cuz exang is cringe

#

and those 6 seconds do mater lol

shut owl
#

yeah

#

well; if you cared about the vanish reset post-DM lineup

#

but thats old tech now

#

may it lie in the ground

still leaf
#

huh

thorn fjord
#

What takes prio if you’re in a situation where sepsis and vanish are available?

#

Assuming the sepsis

shut owl
#

sepsis

still leaf
#

so you only double garrote and rupture if your using exang?

shut owl
#

we don't run exsang

#

its bugged

#

pins

keen spruce
#

except on mythic sark if you hold after p1

#

cuz sepsis comes up right as he phases and it's cringe

still leaf
#

well yeah i know its bugged but thats where i saw it initially when i orginally joined before everyone knew it was bugged

thorn fjord
#

I’ve had some instances where I’ve fucked up and I’m in that situation

keen spruce
#

i'd just sepsis then yeah

#

cuz if you're already desync'd

#

then you can just keep vanish in your back pocket as a defensive or somethin

#

or just use it near when the boss is dying for some extra emp garrote time

shut owl
#

sark is a cursed boss for me. I wind up spending 99% of my time just running bombs on repeat because people fuck it up and I have to scramble

#

I don't think I've parsed higher than a 20 =.=

still leaf
#

ive seen ranged just stare at bombs and have to run over to them as melee

#

i think theyre scared of doing them or have no idea or just to lazy to

shut owl
#

I think next week I'm just gonna see if anyone notices me going down nonstop to float the 50% haste. just see what happens 😛

keen spruce
#

i ignore them

#

if i die i die

#

if i'm not parsin, no one parsin

#

pretty sure goin down intentionally isn't worth

#

just too much downtime

#

for rogue

shut owl
#

yeah; but you don't need to gather 10 each time if you just stand in bad the entire fight and never lose your buff kek

#

I floated the buff for 4 bombs in a row and was surprisingly doing damage

keen spruce
still leaf
#

ohh i see you used to double/triple garrote rupture to extend duration for exsang, i just did it out of habit and forgot why

shut owl
#

just grab orb, go down, immediately come back up after grabbing one orb and the circles

keen spruce
#

sark cursed

still leaf
#

every time i go down for bombs on sark i just mentally prepare myself to get flung of the edge or watch another bomb go off

#

still a fun fight compared to the normal stuff, but it feels scuffed

shut owl
#

please, I don't wanna hear it. actually I do apparently

agile osprey
#

I just wanna know how some dude dropped like 149k on heroic magma. I felt like I played super clean and I ended in the 130s

still leaf
#

also another question i have, is having 50% mastery and only 30% crit screwing me?

shut owl
#

isn't 2:30 like... damn near optimal killtime?

tacit otter
#

it was yeah, got really lucky on that + pi lol

agile osprey
#

Regardless of pi nice pull dude

#

I was enviously combing your log and the best I came up with is I need to crit more

shut owl
#

skill issue. hit your keys harder, it makes you crit more

tacit otter
shut owl
#

if you aren't critting enough, your keyboard doesn't fear you enough

agile osprey
#

I think I had the wrong song on

#

Harder drops for more crit

agile osprey
#

Or am I overthinking this?

tacit otter
shut owl
#

yeah, you're thinking it right mook

#

its just getting used to dragging that sepsis buff for the last one as long as possible that makes a big diff

tacit otter
#

i reapplied my first normal garrote at 47 secs

agile osprey
#

Wild. Sepsis is actually so much fun to play around.

#

Just really gotta pay attention to not refreshing the spicy garrotes with mild garrotes

shut owl
#

its why I've got an m+ sepsis build XD ignore the sin of losing IW/SS for doom+sepsis tho

agile osprey
#

Couldn’t pay me to do this in keys when I got black powder around the corner

#

Ass is a thinking man’s spec

#

I’m mentally a fury warrior

shut owl
#

yo, we've moved up from F to bottom of D tier on subcreation. we're totally meta now

agile osprey
#

I just hope something next tier will outclass boon

#

I’m tired of saving defensives for that trinket

tacit otter
#

f that trinket, the sooner its gone the better

agile osprey
#

I just can’t pass up the damage

#

Boon giveth, boon taketh

tacit otter
#

as long as i do enough dmg for my weeklies 21/22 i wont tortue myself playing that

#

and when its time to push keys theres other trinkets getting close so easy

shut owl
#

I thought boon was replaceable by BiS this season 😛

still leaf
#

is boon actually a good option over current tier trinkets for m+? i have a hero ilvl one just sitting in my inv

spice spire
#

Yes

tacit otter
#

on mythic its like - 0.3% (dont quote me on that) worse than bis

still leaf
#

damn i guess time to use it again then, assuming itd prob take puzzle boxes place over dice

shut owl
#

it does depend on the keys you're running though

agile osprey
#

It’s also depends on how the tank pulls

shut owl
#

if you're overkilling small pulls on it its not worth the hassle imo

agile osprey
#

^

shut owl
#

but if you're cranking with your friends and lusting on a mega-pull trash openers, sure

agile osprey
#

I don’t think it really needs to be mega. Correct me if I’m wrong but against 5+ targets mythic boon is ahead

#

So semi regular double pulls and it would theoretically be worth

keen spruce
#

i just did a 21 freehold with no affixes

shut owl
#

yeah some of the keys didn't get hotfixed

#

was very jealous of them lol

keen spruce
#

ig one of the bugged keys from yesterday slipped through the cracks

#

they don't give score

#

but still upgraded

shut owl
#

lol

keen spruce
#

kinda fun tbh

#

jsut a natty fat freehold

#

didn't even have tyran lol

spice spire
#

Push week

agile osprey
#

Does the damage scaling still exist in those keys?

shut owl
#

not push week if you don't get io lol

keen spruce
#

yeah mob health and damage still scaled

#

just a no affix 21

spice spire
#

“Whatcha pushin’ bud?”

keen spruce
#

i'm just doin +20 to +22 fh until i get dice

spice spire

pushin sin to the top of D tier on subcreation thats what

keen spruce
#

ive had 3 of thsee drop

#

all socketed

#

but no goddamn dice

agile osprey

My dice just prevented me from getting a beacon

keen spruce
#

my dice will be replacing beacon Dead

shut owl
#

I went 5 weeks without trinkets at all lol

agile osprey
#

Yeah dice sims better for me too….but I still want bacon

#

For reasons

keen spruce
#

welcome to the cursed raidbots club mook

#

now there are 2 of us

shut owl
#

I think my guild legit forgot I could do damage if I finally get tier/trinkets, rather than having everyone's alts come and snipe every trinket and tier piece in pugs lol

agile osprey
#

I tried so hard to make the nelth trinket sim better

#

Couldn’t do it

keen spruce
#

oh nelth still ahead by like 400dps for me

agile osprey
#

Dice enthusiasts rejoice

keen spruce
#

but i can't farm that

#

and it's proc rate is weirdge

agile osprey
#

Luckily I did snag 447 dice early though

keen spruce

phat

#

i'm waiting until the fragment sims are fixed so i can hope that they're not as bad as we thought

I'm running incarn icon still t-t
