I'll turn on the air conditioning for you

earnest remnant
#

my room is so cursed during the summer

frigid kestrel
#

I legit just got finish cutting my ice, and the first thing I see when I got to lurk is about ice

earnest remnant
#

entire wall which is just glass pannels with curtains, which is where the sun shines in during the day

gusty mirage
#

I'm chillin rn

frigid kestrel
#

I think that’s a sign for me to make a drink

gusty mirage
gusty mirage
#

to keep out the sun

earnest remnant
#

i do

#

but my room turns into an oven

#

but when you have like 8 meters of just glass, where the sun just hits for like 10 hours straight

#

only so much you can do

gusty mirage
#

I'm just going to let yall know I offered stealthi an opportunity for air conditioning

#

and he ignored it

earnest remnant
#

u gonna pay the plane ticket?

gusty mirage
#

of course

gusty mirage
gaunt moat
#

need to reach this again

#

too bad that's more than wow playerbase now OMEGAKEKW

#

and those were only rogues lol

gusty mirage
gaunt moat
#

It's sad cause it's true starege

vague widget
#

Make them think it's for D4. kekdog

whole girder
#

when simming in quick sim - patchwerk, does it take into account an exec phase ?

primal jolt
#

any embelishments i should put on my dagger?

#

for craft

whole girder
#

oh ok

primal jolt
#

i raid a lot was thinking of the food buff?

gusty mirage
#

especially good for keys

primal jolt
#

yep knew it

whole girder
#

that's why i'm always behind the sim despite doing the same rotation

primal jolt
#

should i use it on my dagger or something else instead

whole girder
#

and that they have much more blindside proc 😁

woeful meteor
gusty mirage
#

so you don't really have much else you would craft on the dagger

#

plus you'll always use that dagger

#

so you'll always have the food buff

primal jolt
#

it feels weird putting the food buff on my dagger lol

#

since well i can

#

is crit mastery still best stat

#

i havent played in a while

spice spire
#

Stats will fluctuate but largely, yes

gusty mirage
#

stat prio will be Crit > Mastery >= Haste > Vers

#

as a generalization

storm forum
#

Crit + Haste to commit to never playing the other specs

primal jolt
#

i love haste on assasination

frozen gorge
#

!Whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
vapid sierra
#

is it normal to run numbing over atrophic on expirements?

pulsar dirge
#

no double rogue??

gusty mirage
#

so atrophic does nothing

vapid sierra
#

other rogue was a dick and told rl to feed him loot or he'd leave

keen spruce
#

atrophic works on boss spells tho right? susGe

vapid sierra
#

yeah but its probavly better to have less mechanics going out

#

'since its alot of raid wide damage

#

like oxi said

gusty mirage
#

imagine playing a rogue and trying to strong arm a raid leader

#

in 2023

gusty mirage
#

"If you don't feed me loot I'll take my slightly better than tank damage ELSEWHERE"

vapid sierra
#

he was big pumping tho

#

he was like 440 ilvl week 1

gusty mirage
#

yeah then everyone else got gear

#

lmao

vapid sierra
#

i was competing on sin

#

with puzzle box

#

playing exsang

#

and then i learnt sub while we were progging sark like mid sark prog i had the opener on my phone

#

and was out dpsing him

#

im not even good at sub and im a medicore roguebut like its a lil sadge

strange python
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
limber lion
#

Yes

#

Nothing crazy about it

strange python
#

feels good, dont need to recrafty

vapid sierra
#

so like what do you guys do for zaqali in terms of cd's?

#

only done the fight on sub

#

send vanish on adds after ic? or should i hold it for the boss dm

#

we drop exsang for ip on aoe rightr?

royal lantern
#

honestly, i dont play assa on that fight kekman

#

should probably not bother with AoE and just ST the shield guy/boss down

gusty mirage
#

you just afk while the real classes do real aoe

runic hinge
#

I have only done it on heroic and I play ap+dtb

royal lantern
#

like, its the 1 fight in the raid where i do the HIGH SKILL storm->powder gameplay

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

and enjoy my #1 dps spot

gusty mirage
#

and you lust and force him into p2

#

instantly

royal lantern
#

for beeing so skilled and playing a highly functional spec

#

🙂

runic hinge
#

Yeah I tried convincing my guild to do that and it doesn’t happen

royal lantern
#

then they are stupid

#

why not take the 40sec kill lol

pseudo hamlet
runic hinge
#

They see add fight and everyone switches to aoe spec and we get him to 40 something % in p1 and then take 3 platforms to get him to 25 like god intended.

pseudo hamlet
#

Don't think you need anything special on that fight. Anyway - don't play Exsang, like at all, nowhere, even in ST because it's bugged and it sucks.
@vapid sierra

gusty mirage
runic hinge
#

I’m annoyed but I can’t convince them otherwise

#

Our warlock who rips 400k openers is below me in p1 and I just wanna smack him through his computer for going to aoe spec

cerulean nest
#

think Im gonna give sin a decent try this week with new buffs

#

this sepsis essay is a trip lol

#

feel like I'll need to be staring at the fight timer the whole time lol

vapid sierra
#

why?

#

its not bad, you just hold 1 shiv charge for it and send it on cooldown

vapid sierra
#

was just double checking why we drop for it

#

since faq wasnt updated

tacit otter
#

its in the pins

vapid sierra
#

it doesnt say what to drop

#

unless im blind

#

nvm i see it

cerulean nest
vapid sierra
#

oh shit

#

i gotchu

#

i fucking gotchu

cerulean nest
#

lol

vapid sierra
#

its whispyrs

#

the green dot on the garrote part of the wa means its improved garrote

cerulean nest
#

oh yeah I mean im not worried about knowing when its up/not up

#

just about making sure its being optimized

#

I use luxthos and im pretty sure it tracks that as well, at least it did last tier

limber lion
#

Luxthos is the best package in terms of actual tracking and QoL

#

Most of us use Luxthos Garrote (and Sepsis) weak auras because they're so good

cerulean nest
#

yeah used it for two expansions now, really like it

limber lion
#

Whispyr does as well, it's just Afenar + Luxthos

#

Luxthos is just super ugly to me, I can't stand it

#

But the functionality is the best you can get

#

So I just yoink what I want from the package and slap em on my UI

cerulean nest
#

i do some Masque reskinning to make it look a little nicer

#

but I also like the way it tracks defensives and things and lets you customize the little side columns

#

and hes been pretty responsive about making changes to it (updated it for me in SL when the ER combo points werent showing up properly)

limber lion
#

Yeah it's very customizable for sure

cerulean nest
#

either way if it properly tracks everything and you're used to it it doesnt make a difference really

vapid sierra
#

thats why i always run afneras but then a modified version for the qol

cerulean nest
#

idk how people like JPC use stock stuff

vapid sierra
#

^

#

one of my friend uses stocks and clicks on outlaw

#

and does good damage

cerulean nest
#

its wild

vapid sierra
#

and im out here optimizing all my keybinds so i can always be on wasd and not have to spam a akward keybind lmao

woeful meteor
#

I mean you dont need much UI wise people overthink that a lot imo

vapid sierra
#

you just need to be able to take in information

woeful meteor
#

James Keybinds are cursed af tho

vapid sierra
#

really quickly

vapid sierra
woeful meteor
#

zx strafe no back and forward only with left and rightclick same time

vapid sierra
#

BRO WAHT

cerulean nest
#

idk why people unbind backward. the amount of times ive pressed S for a milisecond to just back out of a swirly

vapid sierra
#

^

#

there are mine

vapid sierra
#

here rupture

#

and builder

#

where

vapid sierra
#

and mutilate

#

i got mine on mouse buttons since you click them a shit load

#

thoe are respectable tho

woeful meteor
#

that are his his macros

balmy condor
#

He macro’s showtooltip

#

On top of everything

cerulean nest
#

i dont use any mouse buttons

#

except interrupt

balmy condor
#

So it hides useless ones

woeful meteor
#

macro name in the picture are the spells

balmy condor
#

Yeh

runic hinge
#

Yeah his setup is wild

#

I have no idea what he’s pressing half the time

vapid sierra
#

2 on vanish is nice

woeful meteor
#

vanish is r 2 is cheap shot

vapid sierra
#

oh

#

not using was is crazy tho

#

r always is my interrupt

#

close to wasd

woeful meteor
#

idk how you can click 123 tho while running with zx

limber lion
#

Everything else varies, but shadowstep-esque abilities always on R and interrupt on F

#

In every game

limber lion
vapid sierra
#

maybe he thumbs it

limber lion
#

You rarely need to strafe if you're holding down rclick and lclick already

#

Probably does use his thumb yeah

primal jolt
#

slimy boots vs toxic boots?

spice spire
#

I do zx with my pointer monkaW

primal jolt
#

i see a lot of slimy boots

limber lion
#

Toxic

spice spire
primal jolt
#

on murlok

limber lion
#

Slimy bad

primal jolt
#

why slimy bad

limber lion
#

used to oversim

spice spire
#

Slimy was figured out to have downsides after most people learned about it

limber lion
#

so everyone made them

#

then we find out about it

#

and fixed it

#

now toxic better

#

:)

keen spruce
#

but we don't have sparks so we don't fix yet

spice spire
#

It’s slightly worse - they both oversim. But toxic is better in practice

#

Yeah

keen spruce
#

🙂

woeful meteor
#

True I guess tbf I also get confused how I can click 1 while pressing a and w, but it just happens and I cant replicate it while thinking about it

limber lion
#

They both sim properly now

spice spire
#

Toxic sims properly?

limber lion
#

Yes

spice spire
#

I thought it still munched on some non constant procs still, I know stuff like recup was fixed

cerulean nest
#

so which sim is the most up to date

limber lion
#

I mean it does that in-game

cerulean nest
#

whispyrs sheet?

limber lion
#

But sim has been fixed according to fuu

vapid sierra
#

do you need my wifi password?

limber lion
vapid sierra
#

i like to accomodate my guests

cerulean nest
#

kk

limber lion
#

Non-exsang is what you want to go for

cerulean nest
#

yup

#

thank god btw

#

I've been on sub since right after the beginning of last tier, haven't missed exsang

gaunt moat
#

@limber lion You're a good teacher
We just killed Rashok.

#

(126k)

proper tapir
gaunt moat
#

having bad RNG on annulet (did only 2.5m)

woeful meteor
#

big

gaunt moat
#

(Also I'm pretty sure not many assassination rogues killed this boss since sin buff)

#

But it's my first 100% since legion, so i'm happy

spice spire
#

Only two vanishes monkaW monkaW monkaW monkaW monkaW monkaW

gaunt moat
#

when was i supposed to vanish a 3rd time?

#

at the opening?

spice spire
#

Or at the end

#

(End is more the line)

gaunt moat
#

oh yeah, that's cause i used sepsis

#

so it seemed redundant

spice spire
#

Even if it does like with sepsis. Even on a base level of I press this button and get an envenom.
Haven’t progged the fight on timings, can’t say

gaunt moat
#

The boss died while my garrote was still empowered. it's kinda weird timing since it's at 6:30

keen spruce
#

126 good numba

#

i think my best was like 122 when we wiped at 7-10%

gaunt moat
# proper tapir What's the secret sause?

On a serious note, the adjustments Cevertion suggested for me:

  • Make sure to not use shiv instantly after sepsis. instead garrote first. so shiv will be up at the end of sepsis.
  • Be more careful with tea usage, i was overcapping energy.
  • Don't let garrote drop as often as i had.

other than that, i've also gotten loaded dice (441ilvl) instead of iridius fragment.

keen spruce
#

i'm greedy af with my tea

gaunt moat
keen spruce
#

i try to stretch them to the sepsis leading into my 2nd deathmark cuz that's when yo ualways get super energy starved

#

yeah i had a lot of random pulls where i was just sitting around there too

#

idk crit/proc rng

balmy condor
#

yeh looks like you had really good crit/blindside procs

gaunt moat
#

Yeah, it seems like I had a lot more crits on kill. envenom was 48%

balmy condor
#

126 is huge though

gaunt moat
#

comapred to normal pulls where it was at around 38-43%

spice spire
#

Low annulet rng versus crit rng

#

You pick one

earnest remnant
#

but i want both quake

#

I WANT BOTH GOD DAMMIT

gaunt moat
#

I can't wait to get rid of annulet Cring

spice spire
limber lion
gaunt moat
#

We had some major nerd screams

#

felt good to get him

austere fulcrum
#

Cuz 48 % is really good

limber lion
#

Who looks at their crit%

austere fulcrum
#

Gz on kill btw 😄

gaunt moat
#

uh, I think it's like 42%? i'm at 39% without

austere fulcrum
#

O.o

austere fulcrum
limber lion
#

literally doesn't matter

cunning tartan
#

are the 411 trinkets good for assasa?

austere fulcrum
austere fulcrum
#

I wanted to know cuz almost 50% envenom really nice proc

limber lion
#

You literally should not worry about stats, at all

#

You never need to know what % your crit, haste, mastery or vers is

#

never

#

it's legit useless information

limber lion
#

If it's not bomb, beacon, neltharion trinket, essence or dice, probs not

cunning tartan
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc4swnbdDtw&ab_channel=Harldan
there is a 411 trinket that sims better than beacon apparently

Zaralek Cavern, the new zone in Patch 10.1, hides a lot of trinkets that are extremely powerful despite being capped at 411 item level. In this video I'll go over all of the known OP 411 trinkets and how you can get one for yourself.

My Discord tag is also Harldan, and as always, you can feel free to contact me if you have any feedback or quest...

#

for dh atleast

deft vault
#

not good for us

gaunt moat
#

You've probably never heard of them cause they're bad starege

spice spire
#

They don’t sim better than beacon.
They hit above their class, looked at them personally early on because our other rogue and warrior ran the rocks but it still wasn’t worth over 415 pb/421 icon

ashen rover
spare flame
#

Can anyone give me an insight into why outlaw seems to excel on Mythic Rashok?

#

It's a good deal ahead of the other specs it seems and I cant think of anything that it brings to account for that difference

tacit otter
#

what was the raidbots input for low fightlenth variance?

limber lion
tacit otter
#

whats the measurement for the value?

limber lion
#

By default it's 0.2 which is 20%

#

so 4-6mins on a 5 min fight

#

If you don't want any variance, it's 0.

tacit otter
#

percent, i see thank you

keen spruce
tacit otter
limber lion
#

yes

spare flame
runic hinge
keen spruce
#

they like vers and their beacons are hitting for 1.7m crits shrugFreg

#

also very low sample size for assas and outlaw

#

well not very low

spare flame
#

shit thats it isnt it

keen spruce
#

but kinda low

#

only 100 outlaw parses last time i checked

#

and like 80-something assas

limber lion
#

Both around 100

#

But yeah the statistic page ain't necessarily the best thing to go off

#

Like if you just look at the rankings, it's mainly sub

#

But Sub has like 8 or 9 times the amount of players

#

so there's equally as many bad subs in the pot

#

Could honestly play any of the 3 specs and do fine, they're all within like 5k of each other

spice surge
#

Rogue specs are pretty well balanced now

keen spruce
#

and if you filter down to 95th percentile or something

spice surge
#

Surprisingly well balanced even

keen spruce
#

you're only lookin at like 5 dank pirates

limber lion
#

Looks like 6 dank pirates

#

compared to 44 sub rogues

#

spread of 122k to 133k for sub, whereas it's 126k to 131k for outlaw

somber sparrow
oak pivot
#

What is up with unholy dks. They’re always meta even when they’re like b-c tier on tier lists.

spice surge
#

I mean thats not really something to have an opinion about, its just sub

#

Theres no arguing

craggy oak
gusty mirage
ashen rover
tacit otter
# limber lion yes

i tried max_length to override fightimer, is that possible in top gear or only in advanced sim?

distant birch
#

@tacit otter 2ez omw

tacit otter
distant birch
#

Actually got a lil 60% but not a great fight sadge

tacit otter
distant birch
#

But yeah, the race continued

#

I rly like this sepsis build without ex

#

I hope this build will stay a long time

gaunt moat
#

The opener at least is so much simpler

distant birch
#

It's all about timer

dark token
#

is this the spec

abstract jacinth
#

Does anyone have a weakaura similar to this https://wago.io/spinningcranekick that shows number of targets in combat dotted with crimson tempest, rupture, etc.?

Tracks how many targets are within range of your Spinning Crane Kick (right) and how many targets are currently tagged b

woeful meteor
#

opener plays slightly diff now, not sure if the 17 sec gar was still empowered and vanish is to early

#

was in aram load screen will look at it after

abstract jacinth
#

Tyty

limber lion
#

But what use would that weakaura be?

#

We don't need that information for anything

tacit otter
#

luxthos tracks how many ruptures are applied above the icon iirc. but i see no use in that

abstract jacinth
#

Fair enough, I know that I slack sometimes in multi target situations so thought it might help

limber lion
#

It definitely would not

#

Just use IC and it dots everyting for you

#

Don't need to think much

#

Press garrote on cooldown

#

Maintain CT

#

that's it

tacit otter
limber lion
#

vary_combat_length=0 and max_time=x

#

not max_length

tacit otter
#

oh i think i mixed it up, that should work ty^^ i even checked the git wiki but i still fucked it yikes

somber fractal
#

Guys I’m starting to think we actually aren’t gonna get the rogue changes in 10.1.5 they said we would

balmy condor
#

changes aren't ready yet I guess

limber lion
#

I personally don't mind, I'm having a good time playing Sepsis

#

No Exsang, yes Sepsis?

#

honestly bis timeline

somber fractal
gaunt moat
#

we're fine cause this raid is mostly ST
but in cleave we'll be sad again

somber fractal
#

Also like half of both trees are dead to us

silk bane
#

idk dude i tried some sin in keys and lowkey had a blast! wya more fun than sub! like if youre not taking it too seriously and just doing weekly 20s then sins lowkey a vibe

#

i just dont like my boss damage in keys but other than that we chillin

gaunt moat
#

ST gameplay wise though, sepsis/no exsang feels good.

royal lantern

rogue special. i kid i kid

Ye all seems fine aside from what I mentionied at the top:

  1. Opener is Gar -> SnD -> ER -> Rupture -> Beacon -> Sepsis -> DM -> Shiv ->...
  2. You delay the garrote when you get sepsis proc again until the buff is about to run out, nvm you wasted first sepsis proc on an ambush that confused me, dont do that obviously.
  3. See First sentence of 2. you insta used second sepsis proc at 1:47
  4. Vanish was fine there, if you correctly use 1:30 Sepsis proc it should be half way through dm.
#

@balmy condor when would you vanish with a 2:40 Kill time, is it just at 2 min

#

Extending Opener doesnt work since Boss is dead once you get it back anyway

balmy condor
#

you would vanish after the sepsis gar fades in the opener, hold sepsis for about 10 seconds,

#

better uptime that way

keen spruce
#

so is there a reason we're not pre pulling with beacon besides the sketch factor?

balmy condor
#

because it fucks your vanish

keen spruce
#

oh we're vanishing in the opener again

#

didn't see that

balmy condor
#

I mean we're not

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

but on certain kill times, yes

keen spruce
#

but don't you just sync it back up with DM on the second cast

#

the way you normally would

#

er not sync but use it in sepsis pandemic

balmy condor
#

on nelth right

woeful meteor
#

The timings dont add up in my head need to draw a it give me a min

balmy condor
#

you vanish in p1

ebon notch
#

@balmy condor help

balmy condor
#

and then vanish on adds with dm

keen spruce
#

ah

balmy condor
#

on rashok technically

#

you can move your vanish around

#

because you have sepsis at 6min

tall atlas
#

Man assa seems to technical

#

Whis how do you have the brain space for all this

keen spruce
#

yeah i've been pre-baconing on rashok and it feels k

spice spire
#

When he doing shit damage

balmy condor
#

same deal on magmorax if you're not cranking

spice spire
#

You have to maximize ur optimization

#

Better to think about play over things that matter infinitely less, like optimizing gems

ebon notch
gaunt moat
#

On Rashok I synced vanish with DM, so 3rd DM will benefit from vanish.
like whyspir said, you don't use 3rd vanish.

keen spruce
#

i mean most of that stuff is to go from like blue/purple to orange/pink parses

spice spire
keen spruce
#

if you just use your CDs on CD and try to maximize empowered garrotes it's pretty straight forward

spice spire
#

I know you got that dog in you

tall atlas
#

This is an iconic message

tacit otter
ebon notch
keen spruce
#

vanish garrote on 2nd?

keen spruce
#

and just overwrite the sepsis?

gaunt moat
#

yeah, sepsis garrote would be around 10s at that point

keen spruce
#

makes sense

#

always felt weird

#

to rip that 3rd dm

#

in execute

#

without vanish

spice spire
#

Think of it this way. There are two uptimes for your garrotes, the overall generic uptime which should be as high as possible, and the empowered garrote uptime which you want to maximize, while maintaining that as high as possible uptime during desthmark as well

gaunt moat
keen spruce
gaunt moat
#

I'll cheer for you peepohappy

keen spruce
#

are you guys gonna reclear?

gaunt moat
#

Also, dunno how you're doing cloak.
But I use my 1st at the first power-up phase.

#

nah

keen spruce
#

yeah 1st intermission then some point in p3

woeful meteor
#

@balmy condor Isn't this perfect imp gar coverage just sending everything on CD or did I fail math somewhere
0-15 Opener
15-25 S1.1
25-48 S1.2
48-1:37 normal
1:38-1:56 S2.1
1:56-2:14 S2.2
2:14-2:16 Vanish 1
2:16-2:39 Vanish 2

balmy condor
#

it's honestly not that bad

woeful meteor
#

For 2:40 Boss dead

balmy condor
#

yeh probably fine

#

seems kinda okay

#

the vanish garrote lengths are a little sus but I assume it's just pandemic nonsense

#

just make sure it isn't 2:30 next week KEKW

gaunt moat
#

I love how whispyr says it's not that technical, and then Tamaran hits us with a ability-by-second breakdown OMEGAKEKW

tall atlas
#

Seems pretty simple just empower the DM garrotte as mush as you can

#

Send everything on cd kinda maybe sometimes

woeful meteor
#

Its a HC Kill time I dont plan cds there I just press like a feel at that moment PeepoComfy

balmy condor
#

you want to max out your imp gar uptime while also having imp gar for the duration of your deathmark

#

that's legit the only rule

#

people are just really bad at thinking about kill times

#

especially if they come from other classes frist

#

smash button on cooldown, drool on keyboard, boss dead

#

is like

#

the norm for 90% of specs

woeful meteor
#

You get 3 sec imp garotte so just press double

limber lion
#

So vanish pre-DM

#

So you get the Sepsis garrote when garrote hits pandemic

balmy condor
#

you'd run out of time I'd think

limber lion
#

Yeah I guess you'd lose out on 10s of garrydarry

woeful meteor
#

I'll just calc it

limber lion
#

If only you could do the 2.5s Sepsis like in Sepulcher

woeful meteor
#

all this effort for a HC kill time that I'll never get since I'm running this boss in boosts only anyway

limber lion
#

There's not too too much that you can do to optimize fight lengths nowadays

#

It's all just empowered garrydarrys 24/7 anyways

woeful meteor
#

not have 10 Buyers xD so get actual short Kills

#

at least on bosses where quick kills are good

limber lion
#

As long as you have Shiv and empowered garrotes during DM, that's pretty much all you can do

#

which is just the norm

#

No holding Flag or MFD or Vanish for gigasync burst windows

#

I wish I could boost, I really enjoyed it in CN/SoD

#

But I'm 3 weeks dry of tier and trinkets, good thing Catalyst is coming in 2 days

woeful meteor
#

Get 4 Set and whatever gear you are missing and you are good to go

#

Dont even need logs with your guild

#

surely the community wont check if you are an actual raider

broken ibex
#

Spending a lot of dummy time since I now sim slightly higher as Sin vs Sub... I am getting significantly worse Blindside procs (~50% less) after many individual 5 min sessions. Am I RNG cursed, the sim taking into account an assumed sub 35% HP at some point, or am I overlooking something?

balmy condor
#

are you simming patchwerk

#

or target dummy

tacit otter
#

dummy targets cant get into execute so less value

broken ibex
#

Ahh, Patchwerk

balmy condor
#

yeah don't do that

#

target dummy for target dummy

broken ibex
#

Got it, thank you for the education and quick response.

balmy condor

tacit otter
# balmy condor np

on rashok you said you can swap vanish around because sepsis is up at 6m. where do i make these adjustments? sepsis has to be on cd so i dont really get what to change there

balmy condor
#

whats your kill time

gaunt moat
#

just use vanish with 2nd DM

tacit otter
#

enrage

balmy condor
#

then don't bother

tacit otter
#

its more for information sake, even tho i cant apply it rn^^

tacit otter

gaunt moat
#

Then you're good.
you should have sepsis ready for your 4th DM

balmy condor
dark token
balmy condor
#

so you can opener, vanish, sepsis 1:45, that covers the deathmark at 2 min, vanish after again, sepsis 3:15, hold the deathmark until vanish is back up

#

and that's your last dm

dark token
woeful meteor
dark token
#

When sepsis runs out I stealth cast garrote again

#

It still maintains empowered garrote whole time

balmy condor
dark token
#

What else you gonna spend the first sepsis proc on

woeful meteor
#

Garrote

gaunt moat
balmy condor
#

no

#

vanish after the gar drops obv

dark token
#

You sepsis dm shiv

gaunt moat
#

how do you get vanish for 4m DM this way?

balmy condor
#

"hold the deathmark until vanish is back up"

gaunt moat
#

so let me rephrase that, how do you get a 4th DM in the fight that way

balmy condor
#

you don't?

woeful meteor
keen spruce
#

he was talkin about <6m kill time

#

notter

gaunt moat
#

i thought he said an enrage killtime

dark token
#

Also for real we hold vanish all the way to like 2:05 with no opener usage

#

Seems crazy

balmy condor
dark token
#

Sepsis is some weird shit

woeful meteor
#

sepsis dm shiv continue as normal garotte when sepsis buff is about to run out

dark token
#

So this first sepsis stealth ability is able to be used on ambush

#

No?

woeful meteor
#

I'm cooking rn tho to get even more out of this specific fight time

#

never use sepsis stealth ability on ambush

#

ambush is bad and deals less dmg than mut

dark token
#

I need to unmacro my ambush from my mutilate then

woeful meteor
#

yes

dark token
#

By default if I'm stealthed ambush is used

#

Cause it used to be better

woeful meteor
#

When?

dark token
#

So what you just let the sepsis buff on the initial hit run out?

gaunt moat
#

@balmy condor

dark token
#

Feels weird

woeful meteor
#

no

balmy condor
dark token
#

There is only one garrote here

gaunt moat
#

I just misunderstood him

dark token
#

The sepsis expires garrote

#

The first sepsis ability seems wasted

woeful meteor
#

ok then I missunderstood the opener I dont play it like that

#

😄

#

I use first sepsis buff at like 15 sec and second at 25

tacit otter
dark token
#

Wait are you saying that 2nd garrote in the opener is the first sepsis garrote

#

Not the second

tacit otter
#

yes

dark token
#

I guess I misread line 2, and thought sepsis ran out quicker

tacit otter
#

then you hold the 2nd buff as long as possible to max pandemic

dark token
#

And that garrote was the 2nd sepsis ability not the first

#

I think my mutilate macro just auto consuming sepsis which is why I thought it didn't last as long

balmy condor
dark token
#

I was using first sepsis buff on ambush and 2nd sepsis buff at 15 sec I think

gaunt moat
#

If you vanish while Sepsis buff is up and use ambush. would it consume the buff?

dark token
#

I need better weakauras to track the sepsis buff and empowered garrote, sepsis garrote doesn't show as empowered for me

#

Vs stealth garrote does

balmy condor
#

the stealth garrote is 18 seconds, so the opener refreshes 10 seconds later with 8 seconds left, and then the second buff expires 15 seconds after that

#

so no matter how you flip it

#

you're going to be clipping pandemic

dark token
#

Sepsis lasts 15 sec hmm

balmy condor
#

regardless of when you cast the garrotes

#

sepsis lasts 10 seconds

woeful meteor
#

Why do Bosses this tier live so long thought I just cooked perfect kazzara timings and the I see it's a first Boss living 4+ min dead

gaunt moat
cerulean nest
#

how fast are people burning their teas in practice? I get using it for 100 energy/starving for shiv etc.

balmy condor
#

usually gone within like 1:30

#

although I'm kinda struggling to burn them on neltharion ngl

#

the downtime basically caps you again

dark token
#

But I'm not misreading, vanish is not used at all until 2:00 death mark (either before it on low kill time, or after it on high kill time)

woeful meteor
#

Recharged to 3 one time on nelth got hella confused

storm forum
#

ive been using them slowly when i play KB too

#

use 1 in opener, then hold for 2nd KB, then 130 with sepsis, another with DM usually. Until execute where I dump them all whenever i use a shiv.

strange python
#

So. Should we expect our changes to get pushed to next patch?

dark token
#

Sin is weird even without all this minmax, I just glanced at faq and hit random buttons in opener and forgot to use beacon until 2 mins and still did 130k

strange python
#

I'd love to just get some communication tbh

dark token
#

Totally fucked the pull but it felt like it didn't matter

balmy condor
#

in sims

#

and it caused the sims to just spam rupture for like 35 seconds

#

before exsang->dm

woeful meteor
#

@tacit otter

balmy condor
#

just delaying everything for 30 seconds

tacit otter
balmy condor
#

and that full spamming rupture and shit

storm forum
#

????

balmy condor
#

was 2%

dark token
storm forum
#

wait is that

#

what we're doing now?

#

or was that the APL stuff being bad?

balmy condor
#

what

#

are we doing what now

storm forum
#

spamming rupture for the first 30 seconds

balmy condor
#

lmao

#

of course we arent

#

what

#

that was just a simc bug

storm forum
#

rip

balmy condor
#

imagine

#

spamming rupture for 30 seconds and delaying deathmark

storm forum
#

i wanted to do that, show my raid the logs, and tell them that was what peak assa rogue looks like

balmy condor
#

I mean it's only -2%

#

so

#

in theory you could probably beat top parses doing it if you had some good rng

spice surge
#

Yep and then everybody comes in here asking "why is this r1 guy doing this rotation, why is it not in the FAQ?"

storm forum
#

just crit all ur trinket hits

#

and only auto the boss

spice surge
#

Like the guy that parsed well on rasz as sub that had tea macroed to shadow dance, so people just thought we were trolling when we said it wasnt good because "the rank 1 is doing it"

storm forum
#

ez rank 1 parse

balmy condor
#

Imagine optimizing your rotation for some robotic 0.3% increase

#

when the 95% confidence interval is a 15% dps swing

keen spruce
#

min max everything, greed sepsis delay to last .1s, perfect tea, perfect pandemic, not targeted by any mechanics.

storm forum
#

i wish i knew what a confidence interval was

keen spruce
#

best offer is 105k

#

beacon crit 3 times

125k

cerulean nest
#

havent played sin since beginning of last tier, doing sepsis build on dummy rn

#

shit is fun af

#

extending the empowered garrotes is very cool

storm forum
#

i am also a fan of having so many empowered garottes we hold vanish for 2 minutes

cerulean nest
#

how many shivs are you guys usually getting off between DMs

storm forum
#

4-ish

#

if im playing KB it might be only 3

cerulean nest
#

do you save two for second DM? or like, how long is acceptable to be capped on shivs if you're waiting for DM

#

like a few seconds I imagine? otherwise just send one

storm forum
#

yeah I usually just send them if im about to cap if im playing DTB

#

idk if its right, but I cap for like 10+ seconds with KB

balmy condor
cerulean nest
#

btw we run sepsis build for every fight pretty much?

balmy condor
#

ye

cerulean nest
#

sucks that I'd have to "waste" a spark crafting toxic thorns to get rid of my sub slime boots

proper tapir
storm forum
#

damn

#

im not a confidence person i guess i gotta learn

cerulean nest
#

or is any overcap at all a net loss

cerulean nest
#

even if DM is coming up in like less than 10 secs

keen spruce
#

you'' almost always have used one during sepsis near the deathmark

#

you'll*

#

i normally float one stack. send one when i'm ~5s from capping or so

#

then use 2 during sepsis unless it's right before a deathmark

cerulean nest
#

ah right you use with sepsis too. and is the order of operations always shiv *after *DM or sepsis

keen spruce
#

ye

cerulean nest
#

kk

keen spruce
#

well it doesn't matter tHAT much

#

but technically yes

woeful meteor
#

It matters

#

you want the big hit from sepsis during shiv

cerulean nest
#

so shiv before then?

woeful meteor
#

no after

#

sepsis deals bonus dmg after 10 sec when the dot runs our

cerulean nest
#

oh so you want to delay shiv by like a gcd or two even

keen spruce
#

you could to be safe

#

but you're garroting after sepsis anyways

#

so you already delay one global

woeful meteor
#

sepsis -> gar -> shiv is enough pretty sure

#

lemme check

cerulean nest
#

cool

keen spruce
#

but also the sepsis hit is <1% of your damage

#

so don't like melt your brain over it

#

seps->gar->shiv is default

#

DM -> shiv for that

balmy condor
cerulean nest
#

tyty

#

not new to the spec but it's been a minute, just catching up

#

appreciate the help all

#

corrupting rage phial also?

balmy condor
#

yeah it's pretty okay

#

vers is still good

#

but corrupting rage is probably a bit better if you aren't scared about the damage taken

cerulean nest

I may have "encouraged" it in the correct direction

cerulean nest

can ambush during sepsis windows steal the free stealth ability accidentally?

or can I safely spend blindside procs

spend away

cerulean nest

also should I not be milking the very first sepsis garrote on opener?

#

and just follow the exact flow of the screenshot

balmy condor

You can milk or not milk

#

Doesn’t matter

#

Your just using it so you pandemic the second one

#

It fills the gap more than anything

cerulean nest

#

Wow that’s so sad ohno

shell osprey
#

ive been told parsing for those who care is more than likely gonna be dead in half patch because of new evoker spec?

balmy condor
#

If Warcraftlogs can figure out a way to remove all the externals that augvoker can dish out, or attribute it to the augvoker rather than the dps

strange python
balmy condor
#

Then parses are fine

strange python
#

They give cdr, no?

balmy condor
#

Yeh but that’s the easiest I would think

strange python
#

Blizzard is committed to killing parse culture though. It's not an incidental side effect of designing for fun. It's fully intentional.

balmy condor
#

Just can’t allow parses that have more casts than natural

strange python
#

They think that killing elitism will bring back casuals.

balmy condor
#

What

#

Game is already giga casual idk if you know that

strange python
#

Hey man it's what they think

#

Don't ask me why

shell osprey
#

im not sure then can but they might, i heard they give flat main stats, crit, stuff like that

#

i just hope warcraft logs filters them out completely for time being

#

parsing is fun and gonna suck if that ruins it

plain flower
#

I really enjoy blasting tbh idc about parses as much as long as im the best within my given group

#

Although i can see the appeal of being the best in the world not just the best of the shitters

#

But we take those anyway

royal lantern
#

cus melee wont get the simpvoker buffs anyway

#

proximity based

#

horrible horrible idea, the entire Spec

#

and gonna be gutted into a normal dps spec over the time

clever sapphire
royal lantern
#

🙂

#

and yes, we LOVE even MORE mandatory classes/specs that block raidspots

#

just remove all specs that dont give a external then if thats the way they wanna go down

#

can only enter a raid if you have X classes/specs and 2free slots

#

cus thats how it feels like rn

clever sapphire
#

Pretty much, true

#

The way they see it is that they want every class/spec represented and thats why they are giving out so many externals to everyone

#

So everyone has a reason to be in the raid

shell osprey
#

gonna be so annoying too in raid groups, who gets buffs, who doesnt >.>

royal lantern
#

1enh shaman, 1warrior, 2paladins, 1priest, 1druid, 1monk, 1dh, 1mage, 1warlock, 1rogue, 1evoker and soon 1simpvoker

#

i love it

#

can argure 1DK aswell, cus many fights need grip or they are total shit

royal lantern
#

jesus

clever sapphire
#

Ik

#

there is 2 ways to look at it. For everyone who wants to put together the optimal raid (so like probably 80%? of the wow players) you will want all the specs you listed.
For all the casuals who like play once a week that barely get normal sarkareth down by the end of season, they are happy that they can get invited as the spec they chose.

#

i dont say its good, but thats probably the best idea they could come up with so casuals get invited

scenic sky
clever sapphire
#

i mean enhancement shaman has it in the name, so that would make the most sense

scenic sky
#

True true, if that was the case i would give shamans a 2nd go. havent played shamster since cata

#

I will just simply switch to simpvoker

#

Balance in all things™️

royal lantern
#

cus its so flawed, its actually insane

#

and idk who at blizz took enough drugs to say "yoooo, this is a good idea that wont fuck everything up"

clever sapphire
#

i think if they made it so you can 10man mythic raid and removed all the external buffs it would be fine

royal lantern
#

the spec will be a 90% dps spec with minor buffs at the start of 11.0

#

cus they cant manage it

clever sapphire
#

didnt they try to make disc priest something similiar once? or were they just trying to make it a dps spec

royal lantern
#

no lol

#

disc was always a healer

#

they just swapped how it heals

#

from shield healer to atoment pro-active healer

clever sapphire
#

ah well i just remembered a friend saying something in that direction

#

wait i have a big buff to assa rogues which would make getting a good setup even more annoying

made a few dungeon rings 441
crit haste, crit master, mastery crit, even haste vers

remove all stats, make it so your transmog gives you increased dmg, and you will have to apply with a ticket to blizzard everytime you change transmog. So they can rate it and give you a dmg buff according to your mog

Every buff that impacts the dps of another person is a shit idea, they should leave it at stuff they can add to the evokers dps, like dmg proc buffs etc

Same for heals

This is what they want lol

"we will totally balance it, even if its hard"

from the guys that regulary nuke specs into unplayable for entire patches cus they CBA giving them a simple % buff

Idk man. This is what they want lol.

#

cool, and its shit

and i tell them its shit

cus i hope somewhere a dev sees it and gets a moment of clarity

strange python

I agree. But they're clearly not gonna back down on it.

royal lantern
strange python
#

Between kindred aff and PI and evoker leggo and new enchant and warrior banner and blessing of autumn, this is entirely on purpose.

clever sapphire
#

i mean what could go wrong, its not that hard to balance right? Its just a spec that buffs multiple other classes at the same time but also has to do dmg to stay relevant, but not actually outdmg other classes that bring no raidbuffs because then its already broken

#

seems easy to me, just nerf rogue and done

strange python
#

They don't want it balanced.

#

They want it "fun"

#

Whatever that means

balmy condor
#

I'm going insane

clever sapphire
# strange python They want it "fun"

how much fun is a spec that buffs others, but you only see your buffs working if you get an addon and see how their dmg increased because of you monkahmm
