Did you simmed with or without annulet?

#

Got bombs and beacon. 2 on use but just macrod bomb to e venom so I’m always using it.

#

Did they change bis embellished?

#

do we usually go vers phial or rage phial?

#

i believe vers single target, rage aoe

#

probably not much difference though

#

Nope I lied not pinned anymore, someone correct me if I’m wrong though

Idk hard to keep track of little changes

I didn't think the assa hit hard

where do i find assa openers with stepsis? i checked pins and assa faq and its possible im blind

earnest remnant
limber lion
#

Even the raccoon knows

earnest remnant
#

ive been hitting dummies today

#

getting in the groove for the 1% haste assa gameplay

limber lion
#

Honestly based

#

I'm drowning in haste personally, sitting at a good 6%

vestal wren
#

did no exsang convince you to play assassinaiton?

earnest remnant
#

no

#

but playing sub on Sark

#

is not fun

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

fair

royal lantern
#

flooded inside a ocean?

earnest remnant
#

until im allowed to spec BP and go ham

#

im not sure im playing sub on it again

vestal wren
#

but you can play rotten

earnest remnant
#

lets go to a imaginary place

#

where that fixes sub for that fight xD

royal lantern
#

lets go to a imaginary place where Rotten brings any positive change at all

plain moon
#

What are subs problems on that fight?

earnest remnant
#

haste

#

xD

vestal wren
#

^ the haste buff does basically nothing for the spec

earnest remnant
#

and on Mythic Sark you kinda play around it

#

so you just get smoked by all other classes

#

atleast assa can use the haste a bit

royal lantern
#

+the fact that the adds are not really a gigantic focus

#

so that assa cant do real aoe is not a big problem there

earnest remnant
#

so until im given the greenlight im probably just gonna channel my inner cev and play assa on the fight

#

maybe not first reclear

limber lion
#

Hell yeah

earnest remnant
#

just due to people being used to the prog dmg to adds

limber lion
#

About to blast the meters

#

Make sure to get 10 externals to maximize boss damage as well

earnest remnant
#

dont think our uhdk is gonna allow me to take his shiny toys away

limber lion
#

Damn. Good thing everyone gets to share them when Aug Evoker gets added

royal lantern
#

share?

#

mate

earnest remnant
#

its so funny seeing boss dmg

#

after first haste amp

#

in p2

royal lantern
#

egirlvoker buffs are proximity based

earnest remnant
#

just unholy 8mil ahead of everybody else on boss dmg

royal lantern
#

warlocks now have a new excuse beyond Pi why they are busted

still leaf
#

just ask the priest nicely for pi

oak sky
#

How does unholy play sark

royal lantern
vestal wren
oak sky
#

Do they like take a bomb in p2 for their cds or smth

earnest remnant
#

yes

#

they get the first 50% haste from the intermission

#

then they get the first bomb set

#

and just go nuclear

#

with cds

oak sky
#

What do they do with the intermission haste

#

Just send their minis ig

earnest remnant
#

get their cds back faster xD

earnest remnant
#

vs me xD

oak sky
#

Lol

#

Actual healer dps between

earnest remnant
#

granted

#

im not really hitting the boss xD in p2

#

so im cheating a bit

#

making it look worse than it is

limber lion
vestal wren
#

the fun thing is, this is about the "burst" you see on the subtlety chart

royal lantern
#

simple as that

gaunt moat
royal lantern
#

srsly, who came up with the idea and thought it will not be a gigantic disaster

limber lion
# earnest remnant vs me xD

The bottom graph at a glance looks like it does more damage until you realize the number at the side says 600k vs 200k

earnest remnant
#

YEP

#

thats overall dmg

#

🙂

limber lion
earnest remnant
#

p1+p2

royal lantern
#

reminder that augemtation is supposed to make 4 other dps in raids stronger to the point where its valuable to use it instead of a normal dps

but then there is m+ where you only have 2 dps, how do you want to balance the numbers there? if it ALSO has enough "damage" in m+ to work with only 2 dps its gona be so giga busted in raids its not even funny anymore

limber lion
#

Seems balanced :)

royal lantern
#

earnest remnant
#

btw. just to mention that too

oak sky
royal lantern
#

the priest can holy nova 4%harder

oak sky
#

But jesus it might be so annoying

vestal wren
#

subtlety is also a damage loss for avokers

limber lion
#

Anyways, I think Augmentation is probably really cool for the person playing it

vestal wren
#

ist not outlaw exclusive

limber lion
#

I think it's gonna be a pain for everyone else involved

royal lantern
#

yeha like

#

that spec is gonna be the absolute peak of "giga busted and you need them always" and "so bad that you never want it at all", there is no room in-bettwen

#

its stupid

#

why are they doing it

limber lion
#

Already having to map out defensive/offensive cds, as well as boss mechanics/timings and then on top of that having to map out positioning according to the Augevokers and buff timings

#

Gonna be a lot to go through

royal lantern
#

blizz is not good at balancing, and now they add something that most games cant manage to balance kekman

limber lion
#

Probs will just turn into Augevoker doing whatever they want and just pressing stuff on cooldown and whoever gets the buffs, get them

royal lantern
limber lion
#

But yeah, I used to play a class called "Assist" in FLYFF 20 years ago and it was pretty fun, but it's just a completely different game

royal lantern
limber lion
#

Not sure how it's gonna work in WoW

vestal wren
#

judging for how balancing was in the last 2 xpacs

#

avoker will be balanced to output the same as other dps

oak sky
vestal wren
#

w/e of what they do else

royal lantern
#

the problem is everything else

limber lion
oak sky
#

Giving shadow twin suns was a mistake

#

I like auggievoker

earnest remnant
#

FAKIN Augoker dude xD

limber lion
#

Alright devoker, prevoker and avoker it is

earnest remnant
#

sounds like the danish word for cucumber

limber lion
#

perfect

royal lantern
#

like, how will you balance classes when there is a spec that can give them free mainstat+multistrike+cdr?

limber lion
#

they look like little flying cucumbers anyways

vestal wren
#

is augvoker or augoker what people atm use?

royal lantern
#

just dont and 2-3 are always #1 now when they have a pocket e-girl?

royal lantern
#

or you do and they depeend on the spec?

limber lion
#

I think they just say Aug

oak sky
#

Like vers and mainstat

limber lion
#

No other class in the game has that title

oak sky
#

Seems like they can attribute that in logs easily

limber lion
#

Same with Dev and Pres

vestal wren
#

ah fair, i will continue to say avoker, because i thought it sounded good

limber lion
#

Yeh

oak sky
#

But cdr is almost impossible to quantify consistently

royal lantern
#

inc: we end with the same situation that ff14 has: every single team has a Dancer because its simply the best option for physical ranged

#

good desing btw

limber lion
#

I've heard that it's likely gonna be 3 perma evokers in the raid

#

So they have 100% uptime on all the buffs

#

permanent saturation

royal lantern
limber lion
#

So similar to Restless Crew Outlaw

#

Before it was deleted

royal lantern
#

not like that raidteams allread yhave 70% of the raidteam allready pre-set cus blizz is forcing so many buff/externals into the game

#

everyone loves that

#

there was never any backlash at all

#

🙂

limber lion
#

But then again it makes balancing a bit easier right

#

If you're forced to take one of each class, it kinda doesn't matter what numbers they do unless it's ultra abysmal

#

Also it's easy to shout at balancing and stuff like that, that shit is probably giga hard to get right honestly

#

How do you choose what aspect of a spec/class to balance and how much and when?

#

Do you just keep slapping aura buffs on a class until the numbers look good or do you focus on the weaker abilities and buffing them up or a straight up rework where you remove outliers or what's the dealio

#

I wouldn't be able to do that probably

#

I could do that for Assassination because it's my OTP class

#

But if I was in charge of 2 entire classes and all of their specs, hell no

royal lantern
limber lion
#

But not really, that's part of their job right

royal lantern
#

like, sounds stupid i know, but thats what the balance team is supposed to do

limber lion
#

They still have a million other things to do as well

#

It's not like they sit on a computer looking at talent trees and numbers 24/7 trying to figure out which one to buff and which one to nerf

#

But yeh

#

Personally glad I don't have to do that and face the wrath of the community when something goes wrong hehe

plain moon
royal lantern
#

and there it starts allready

vestal wren
#

if i don't remember it wrong

royal lantern
#

base desing is flawed enough that there allready needs to be a aura % change, cool i gues

vestal wren
#

i think blizz wanted to attribute damage gains from externals to the player who provides it

limber lion
#

Yeah similar to blessings on paladin

#

But still stuff like stat amps and cdr are kinda impossible to calculate

royal lantern
#

^

#

like

vestal wren
#

not sure how they want to do it, but would give wcl a lot more relevance if they manag to do so

royal lantern
#

haste on a unholy dk also results in the unholy dk getting army back faster

#

how do you calculate how much dmg you gave the unholy dk cus you gave him haste for 15sec?

limber lion
#

Or cdr to someone who doesn't even use cds on cooldown

#

30s cdr but holds the cd for 30s to sync with everything else

hollow dirge
# limber lion I wouldn't be able to do that probably

Well most would not.
But it’s not done by a single dude, it’s done by a big ass studio with enough resources to know the ins and outs of each spec to a fine detail and have the manpower to deal with it.
Now I’m not saying it’s easy. Or that they must do it to a 1% accuracy. But can they do atleast 30-40% better, sure they can.
If you’re paying triple A, but get a B or C performance anywhere, it’s already the studio’s fault, and saying they have millions of other things to focus on, is just giving an excuse to do a shitty job.
And facing the community when it goes wrong?
Idk, but any job that involves such a close relation to the customer has to face them every now and then.

vestal wren
#

i feel like they would need to re-work some externals

#

if they want to do it

limber lion
royal lantern
hollow dirge
# vestal wren if they want to do it

This is the main question, is there a will to do it? Or are they just shuffling classes on top so everyone gets their hard on every third patch and feel the urge to play their class because they’ve seen themselfs topping metter for one whole tier

hollow dirge
limber lion
#

But that's probably a company thing and them not hiring enough people. I remember hundreds of people (I think mainly QA iirc) getting laid off before DF launched

plain moon
#

Imo blizz balancing as much as we bitch is pretty good compared to other studios. Their big flaw is doubling down on shit that the community says will be a nightmare the second you announce it (covenants, corruptions, legion legos, and soon to be augvokers)

vestal wren
#

most of the DF layoffs ended up being community stuff, not devs

still leaf
#

legion legos and unstable arcanocrystal haunt my dreams

vestal wren
#

but they lost some devs to other companies, and i am not sure how much they stocked up on new people

royal lantern
#

blizz balancing is litearlly 2 problems:

#

they are quiet slow sometimes with a weird focus

hollow dirge
royal lantern
#

and that they love to double down on stuff everyone says is bad

hollow dirge
#

Not saying they should send us their home adress for us to send them dildos

vestal wren
#

also keep in mind that the engine is quite old, so having people who are capable to work on the game directly in a productive way is something that takes time

royal lantern
#

hello?

#

FREE DILDOS???????

limber lion
#

Blizz is also a company that's thinking 4 years in advance. So they might have their sights on the next expansion already which results in the current one not getting as much notice.

hollow dirge
#

True

royal lantern
#

shit is expensive you know?

limber lion
#

But again who knows

vestal wren
#

current xpac seems to be getting fairly high attention

#

with the lower release cycles

limber lion
#

Oh yeah, definitely a lot better than previous expansions for sure

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

it is the first time they lowered the cycles instead of making them bigger (like in legion -> bfa or bfa -> SL)

plain moon
#

I think the riot approach to balancing is really good tho. Constant small aura buffs/nerfs to try to keep everything as close as you can. Then look at big reworks or mini reworks for things that are are either just conceptually unfun or things that are impossible to balance closely because it has to be either giga op or giga dead

limber lion
#

I personally don't care about anything else but Kingsbane being buffed. If Kingsbane gets buffed, I'm a happy camper. Do whatever you want, just let me have my Kingsbane. dracthyr_nod

royal lantern
#

riot is a big joke in balancing cus they play favorites so extremely obvious

vestal wren
#

riot changed balancing strategy quite often

#

they had a statistical/theoretical approach

#

but now only use it for the giga extremes you don't rly need to see it

plain moon
#

We’ll really riot buffs around skin lines. Got to make sure ur big booba champs are OP so people buy the new skins

vestal wren
#

and also now buff/nerf more to change the meta than balance the game

honest path
plain moon
#

So maybe calling it the riot approach was wrong. But that approach I feel is the best

vestal wren
#

i do think the approach was good to be focused on bringing outliners i line

#

but as mentioned, they did drop this approach

#

what is nice is how they handle changes, you get to see buffs/nerfs in advanced on ptr

plain moon
#

Sometimes wow ptr feels pointless tho. Players spend their time testing new changes, just to give feedback that is ignored half the time

vestal wren
#

the problem is that the cycles are too long

plain moon
#

Although I think blizz has still gotten better at that, even if it’s still weak

vestal wren
#

changes can come in at any point in the cycle

#

and you can have a lot or no time to get iteration or feedback

royal lantern
# plain moon So maybe calling it the riot approach was wrong. But that approach I feel is the...

doing regular updates, yeha ofc

but the riot approach itself is litearlly just "new skin line=buffs, popular champ=more skins=more buffs, if you are unpopular and underperfoming(and thats often related btw), you can stay in the dumpster for ages" unless its a big outliner

and also that they just gave up on multiple champs for multiple years and just said "yeha sorry, those are proplay champs, they will be bad for 99,99999% of players xd"

imagine if blizz would straight up say "yeha sorry, fire mage is good in high lvl m+, cant change it to make it playable everywhere else"

earnest remnant
#

also a thing that alot of the stuff the community might not like in terms of changes is what the game devs want for the class

royal lantern
#

the only thing riot does good there is doing regular updates, thats it

vestal wren
earnest remnant
#

a pretty obvious one

vestal wren
#

even if the community does not agree, having a good reason to do a change and state it is way better

earnest remnant
#

is that people want more burst for their cooldowns, but they are clearly taking the game in another direction

vestal wren
#

i am not even sure about that

#

there are many specs with good burst, it is more inconsistent

plain moon
#

Yeah things like fire mage or pro play champs like azir fall into the category imo of this no longer needs tuning to fix and needs either a big or mini rework to fix the underlying problem

vestal wren
#

e.g. looking at rogue

earnest remnant
#

its what they have to many classes already

vestal wren
#

having 3 spec being flat liners does not feel like a design goal

#

but maybe i am wrong

earnest remnant
#

thats what im saying

#

the community wants burst

#

but the game is going in a different direction

#

they are actively ripping it away

vestal wren
#

i mean, they just in SL re-introduced a lot of burst

#

similar to DF with the talent trees

#

so maybe it is what they want with rogue

#

but i don't think its a general trend

earnest remnant
#

its not just rogue they have done it to

plain moon
#

How do you guys feel about the talent tree rework now that we’ve had it for awhile?

honest path
#

!whispyr

#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
plain moon
#

Personally I hated it going into DF, and while still not a fan, it’s not as bad as I expected. But I think the majority was very excited for it to start off

royal lantern
#

but that is getting adressed

plain moon
#

What do you enjoy about it compared to old tree?

peak bobcat
royal lantern
#

yes??

earnest remnant
#

they said they are

limber lion
#

It literally is

royal lantern
#

just cause rogue is sidelined doesnt mean they are not doing anything

#

lol

#

frostmage litearlly gets a rework next Patch

plain moon
#

Personally I feel it plays very similar. 90% of talents are non negotiables and are always taken. Leaving a few meaningful choices you swap between depending on the situation/preference. Which is just the old tree

earnest remnant
#

wow is a numbers game at the end of the day

#

it was always gonna be like that

#

something will always just be better

#

its just giving you the illusion of choice

plain moon
#

Yeah that’s why I was very against the talent tree rework

#

The one advantage it has is utility choices tend to be more plentiful than the old tree. For other classes at least

earnest remnant
#

to bad in most cases you cant pick them

#

cuz they go up against output talents

plain moon
#

But the disadvantage is you have to deal with routing which sometimes forces you to take stuff you don’t want. Like the sin AoE build now

night delta
#

there's some argument to be made that at least illusion of choice can be a more pleasant experience than barely any apparent choice at all

#

you can at least feel like you have some control over what you play

Quick question, is Rouge good rn or Bad as a class to learn? My guild Is Looking to clear hc and we have too many hunters (me included). They want 1-2 of us to Reroll, I only have Rouge as an alt… is it Worth it or is the Performance lacking?

At that level you being comfy with the class matters a lot more than the class itself being good/bad in hands of a sim bot

I’d say try a few other classes while leveling (should be quick enough nowadays), if you don’t know what to choose - take a look at what raid buffs/utility you might be missing and go for those OR pick based on your feelings towards certain concepts

Rogue is in a pretty rough spot right now in terms of pure damage performance, but comes with benefits of being very durable, very mobile and quite easy to gear (most of the stuff can be crafted or farmed from repeatable content)

#

@wet tusk assassination is a really good spec to pick up with just a little practice, and you can also use the same stats to run subtlety in M+

If the assassination dungeon rotation is too much

#

Sin is decently mobile

limber lion
#

Hell no

#

I mean step is cool and all but honestly I was so used to shadowlands step being like 45 yards or something, so the 25 yards nowadays feels so small

#

I spam my step 100 times and nothing happens and I think I'm out of charges, but I'm just out of range

clever sapphire
#

i never looked at the yards, but now it makes sense why it feels so scuffed to use shadowstep

ask sub rogues about the 2min sprint fun

#

worgen racial is legit better then baseline sprint

deft flicker
#

Subs have omega sprint (shroudge)

royal lantern
#

outlaw is mobile yeha, thats not a question

#

assa is ok, its nothing special, but its good

#

sub is bad

wraith mantle
#

What does sin have that sub does not that makes it faster?

deft flicker
# royal lantern sub is bad

Most of these are probably very niche, but farther steps + vanish strike + vanish pretty much resetting step cd sounds at least decent

royal lantern
#

sub plays with only 1 step and the baseline 2min cd sprint

deft flicker
#

Outlaw is just out of this world mobile though. 50% passive movespeed when stealthed is huuuge on its own

royal lantern
#

now the big downside: you play outlaw

cursive orchid

what is an outlaw?

royal lantern
# cursive orchid what is an outlaw?

An outlaw, in its original and legal meaning, is a person declared as outside the protection of the law. In pre-modern societies, all legal protection was withdrawn from the criminal, so that anyone was legally empowered to persecute or kill them. Outlawry was thus one of the harshest penalties in the legal system. In early Germanic law, the dea...

limber lion

Yep it's very unfortunate

peak bobcat
vestal wren
limber lion
#

the dps isn't the problem fuu

#

I could also just play DH instead and have infinite mobility

vestal wren
#

i know

#

but it adds to the problem, because even having higher range is not ideal if you need to trade off dps for it

limber lion
#

Not sure what you're saying

#

because playing Sub/Outlaw is not the solution

#

Even if Sub did 100k more dps, it's still not getting played

vestal wren
#

oh no, i completely agree that rogue feels weak in terms of mobility

#

and assassination has more mobility than subtlety, but still feels lacking

#

its just that subtlety has access to higher step range, that would help

#

but it is positioned in a way that trades off a noticable amount of damage

limber lion
#

Yeah but you're missing the point

#

It doesn't matter if you have to change talents to get higher step range

#

What matters is having to play Sub

#

And I ain't touching that spec

raw plover
#

do we still need to use expert mode to sim sin rogue or is it nightly/latest ?

limber lion
#

Even if it did 100k more dps and shadowstep was worldwide range

haha fair

can you use the consumable items from 10.0.7 to spawn targets to shadow step to in raid

Hey, i wanna Play assassin as my alt. I pretty much geared him up with my guild and only have a few Things missing.
What do you guys think I should Craft? I got 2 Sparks left and dont Know what to do with them. Ty in advance Surebud https://retail.safe-armory.com/en/character/6481cf374d377

#

Weapon and toxic Patch on belt/bracers

wet tusk
#

spreadsheet says belt/Bracers but wouldnt a Ring be better in my case since im still missing one?

spice spire
#

It’s not about what you need right now - it’s long term. And you can’t toxic patch a ring

#

Only leather pieces

wet tusk
#

Ah okay

#

And dagger is Worth it Even tho i have 2 of the raid ones?

spice spire
#

447 weapon (main hand) is a pretty big gain overall. Even over 441 it was well worth

#

You could also make the ring and push the weapon out one week

wet tusk
#

Ty alot, so sticking to the Spreadsheet is still good in my case then 😄

spice spire
#

Probably

#

The embellishments are definitely ideal.
After that you can do a bit

still leaf
#

whatever you do don't be like me and craft the spore shoulders, i hate them

normal mist
#

came to a normal run to obliterate bosses, no one is logging, i did a top50 parse

#

i cry

#

1st boss 😦

#

stars aligned? xD

normal mist
#

My pc doesnt like it very much

#

usually its my GF who logs our guild kills

somber sparrow
#

doesnt typing /combatlog not really change anything it's not really already logging without recording it

pure moth
#

Doesnt change anything. Live logging usually is worse for me. So i just upload after

somber sparrow
#

Also when is it time to use the "bacon" from beyond in rotation. The sim shows "using items" happening 30 seconds in the fight

#

is that so i don't waste time during a potion from GCD

spice spire
#

Do you have two on use hmm

somber sparrow
#

yes one is the bomb dispenser which I just macro'd with mutilate

spice spire
#

Yeah that would be why

somber sparrow
#

ok so it triggers 10 second cooldowns on others

#

so then by the time i can use the other trinnket it would be like 30 seconds in, makes sense

spice spire
#

There’s an internal GCD on on use trinkets. And yeah the 10s is done by then

#

That’s why

somber sparrow
#

got it! thanks for helping me realize it haha

spice spire
#

Bomb dispenser is different in its 10s, most of the time it’s 30s

#

Glad to help WideGeorgeHappy

somber sparrow
#

off to work i go

spice spire
#

It probably is

#

I’d have to have a bomb dispenser to know

spice surge
#

Its 10s

#

For bomba

spice spire
#

From bomba > another bomvw or is that just the general everything after using bomba

spice surge
#

Both

#

Cant use beacon for 10s if you bomba, cant bomba until 10s later

spice spire
#

I thought that was the interaction but wasn’t 100% sure

spice surge
#

Would be more interesting if you could stack the bombas, then just using it on cd wouldnt always be the best play since you could stack up a big one when you needed burst

#

But alas

#

We are stuck in "use on cd" hell

spice spire
spice surge
#

I have a very very surprising fact for you quake, my p1 damage on sark increased when i got beacon instead of anvil, who woulda guessed right?

It’s almost as if bacon is insane thonk

Could I perhaps bend someone's ear and ask how echoing reprimand is used properly?
I think I just use it at bad times.

spice spire
#

You just use it on cd

gusty mirage
#

And try not to cap combo points when using it

random arrow
#

I guess I'll have to reread it. Do I wanna aim for it to be in the 5th slot? Or does it work like that blue charge is like spending 7 skill points

gusty mirage
#

Oh, you should be playing resounding clarity talent below it, should be getting 3 anima charged cps

spice spire
#

Which makes it much easier to manage

random arrow
#

Ah ok.
I did go over the faq but I should state I'm just like level 68 and got super curious

spice spire
#

Ag that’s probably the thing

#

Resounding clarity makes the ability much more bearable

so I am trying to determine if something is broken on my end, so envenomv refreshes snd, at least it was, however between yesterday and today i noticed that my envenom is refreshing my rupture but not my snd, was there a change that i missed, i can't find anything about it anywhere i have read

spice spire
#

It does not refresh rupture

scenic sapphire
#

Envenom refreshing Rupture, what?

spice spire
lofty pendant
#

it absolutely is though

#

that is why i think somehting is broken

spice spire
#

Are you still talented into cut to the chase

#

Do you have a log that shows this?

lofty pendant
#

yes, talented into cut to the chase

gusty mirage
scenic sapphire
#

How are you tracking Rupture and SnD @lofty pendant? Are you using a WA or default blizz UI?

#

If you're using a WA, you might have tracked Rupture and SnD wrongly

lofty pendant
#

i use WA

#

it is definitely the rupture icon that is going back up on it countdown

#

let me see if i can get a log while smashing this training dummy

#

but rupture isnt falling off the bad guy either

scenic sapphire
#

Can you do a short record or something, it sounds really odd. I'm trying myself right now and not having this issue

lofty pendant
#

yea i am working on it

#

so i dont normallylog things so had to figure it out real quick

limpid grove
#

hey guys, which talents are you using in tyrannical weeks?

#

Im puzzled because I'd like to also take zoldycks for single-target/finishing against bosses, but i dont want to remove the other talents

limpid grove
#

wdym?

vestal wren
#

he made a joke

marsh grail
vestal wren
#

you don't rly change much of talents between tyranical/fortified

limpid grove
#

And also, do i use crimson tempest just to keep the dot on mobs or do i spam it at packs?

agile osprey
#

iirc at 5+ it’s a wash between CT spamming and fishing for pb procs?

gusty mirage
#

as long as the CT dot is up you can either push CT or fish for PB procs

limpid grove
#

Im sorry whats pb again xD

#

(im kinda new to rogue)

scenic sapphire
#

Poison Bomb

limpid grove
#

Oh ofc

#

ty ^^

lofty pendant
#

ok so i never have to do logs, i just click a link and go study them but i was not at my raid last night so i dont have logs from last night to link, it is proving to be a dfiifcult task for me to figure this out right now, i am still working on it so it might be a few before i can actually get them on here. but i promise that it's happening, even when i turn the WA off and track with blizz default it still does the same thing

brazen lagoon
#

I get better results doing 1 CT and aiming for PB under 5-6 tzrgets

gusty mirage
#

yep that'll happen if you proc PB

#

if you don't

#

it'll be slightly worse

#

like ever so slightly

tacit otter
brazen lagoon
#

If you dont yeah its another problem ahahah

gusty mirage
#

then alt f4'd

#

I gotchu

#

can you link me one of your sims again

#

so I can yoink the nelth trinket string

#

I'll do it now before I forget again

#

#

dude you shook me with that number at first

gusty mirage
#

well now you know it's better in execute

tacit otter
#

i was like 140 damn

tacit otter
gusty mirage
#

we purposefully wipe the raid until it does

#

smol downgrade from 441 beacon

#

better than 441 dice

#

if I had a chance at it

#

it'd be the easiest decision of my life

#

never worry about beacon, and not critting beacon

#

and fitting in beacon casts in between the icd from bomb/beacon

tacit otter
#

but then you get the essence out of the shitty 4x mythic chest and its better than the item you took out of vault

#

(nelth trinket)

gusty mirage
#

do you have all available buffs in your raid?

#

cause if you're running it solo or with only 1 or 2 other people

#

it's 100% worse than nelth trinket

tacit otter
#

ye even when swapping people in and out on reclear we have all

gusty mirage

how many fucking essences did yall get
