assassination was never the most min/max heavy spec of rogue

atomic rune
#

You still have to think about rotation though because of CD's and if snapshotting a Empowered Garotte in 3 seconds is better then refreshing and wasting a GCD latedr

#

Theres thjoughts

gusty mirage
#

then we're relying on tooltips to be accurate, that's a very dangerous game OMEGALUL

atomic rune
#

Theres not just press whatever button lights up on your keyboard

vestal wren
#

people did for a long time do placebo optimizations too

spice surge
strange python
#

Well sure. I just think snapshotting allows for some skill expression and I like it

atomic rune
#

Oh youre right

#

Im stupid

#

I get defensive

vestal wren
#

we talk about exsang specific

gusty mirage
#

you're not stupid

atomic rune
#

Yeah fufk that ability

vestal wren
#

because it snapshots haste

gusty mirage
#

stop being mean to yourself 😠

atomic rune
#

Youre all correct

strange python
#

There's only like three snapshot abilities in the game

vestal wren
#

nightstalker snapshots

gusty mirage
#

yeah and one of them doesn't even snapshot anymore

vestal wren
#

fianlity does

strange python
#

And empowered rip? Maybe?

vestal wren
#

assassination has quite some that snapshot

thorny crow
#

Is mastery better than crit? im trying to craft a ring and mastery/haste sims higher than mastery/crit. this would bring my stat weights from 40 crit/10 haste/42mastery/10vers to 35 crit/13 haste/55mastery/10 vers

vestal wren
#

so we have more than 3 in the game

gaunt moat
#

How about we get anticipation back as a talent so we won't have a gazillion mutilate wasted CPs? gollUMM

gusty mirage
vestal wren
thorny crow
gusty mirage
#

it does, but mastery converts into mastery points or some shit like that

#

and it DRs different than other stats

gaunt moat
#

it would be a talent after all

thorny crow
vestal wren
#

would need to test to see how it plays

gusty mirage
gaunt moat
#

Anticipation was very passive, wasn't it? just makes wasted CPs not wasted

hollow cedar
vestal wren
#

it would lead to less cp waste

#

but just to gvie a example

#

if you e.g. finish on 4+ without anticipation

#

you would finish on 5+ or 6 with

#

the amount of finishers might not change just how much combo points you use them on

#

given that all you do is add a mechanic that prevents ressource waste

loud galleon
#

!whispyr

prisma monolithBOT
shrewd plover
#

sim not fund ? its normal ?

vestal wren
#

raidbots only stores simulations for 28 days

#

so i assume they run out, i think some of the links on my sheet also ran out but i atm working on starting 10.1.5 updates

gaunt moat
#

Why would you use a finisher at 4+ without and 5+ with?

vestal wren
#

it was a example

#

you often use finisher on lower cp amounts to prevent cp overcap

#

and with anticipation you can just overcap because of the buffer

#

so you can finish more efficiently on higher combo points

gaunt moat
#

From what I remember
it works in the way of:

You used mutilate while t 4CP and gotten a crit that would waste it
after using a finisher, you would get that CP back

vestal wren
#

yes

#

you basically would store all overflow as a buff

#

and if you use a finisher get the stored cps

gaunt moat
#

am i wrong to think that's incredibly useful?

vestal wren
#

you reduce cp loss, so it is useful

gaunt moat
#

If they'll redesign some of our left tree for utility
i would like to see it return

vestal wren
#

its not insane in damage value if you already have a gameplay loop that does not waste a lot cp

gaunt moat
#

looking at my rashok log for example, I had 37 wasted CPs through seal fate.

#

that's about 6 extra envenoms worth

vestal wren
#

well keep in mind that 10.2 coul remove crit nodes

#

so you crit less -> less cp procs

#

anticipation is a niche talent, and the impact was most of the time overvalued

#

it was picked in legion by subtlety, but only because of a bug

#

and it was even with the bug not beating Deeper

#

but deeper would make cp management more complex, so people did stick to anticipation

#

(outside of one mad lad that got all rank 1s in heroic with deeper)

gaunt moat
#

But back then anticipation and DS were on the same tier. with the talent system, it may be possible to take both (in the theoretical world where they add it)

You're also right that they might remove deadly precision and seal fate from class tree

vestal wren
#

tbh i have no idea

#

the big nodes are "tea", "dance", ER" and deeper basically

#

seal fate is impact wise up there too

gaunt moat
#

how good is seal fate for outlaw and sub?

vestal wren
#

you would not play without them

gaunt moat
#

then i doubt they remove that

vestal wren
#

outlw in m+ might only go 1 point in seal fate

#

but overall its a weird dynamic

#

all 3 specs have nodes theat are good/bad for them

#

for sub/assassination dance is fairly meh but rly good for outlaw (because of FW).
for sub/outlaw ER is fairly disappointing, for assassination its the best choice.
All 3 like Seal Fate because of the extra resource income and DS to deal with it.
How good tea is rly depends on the spec but its a "cheap" dps node

gaunt moat
#

I do have to say, it's kinda weird that all 3 specs have sepsis in their talent tree

#

at that point, why is it not in the class tree

vestal wren
#

sepsis only rly fits assassination

gaunt moat
#

So you could ask, why is it even an option for the other specs

vestal wren
#

you could yes

ornate dawn
#

When your sim finishes and you see the plus numbers nice.jpg

vestal wren
#

sbs did fit outlaw well in SL, but i feel like it would be bad now

ornate dawn
#

haste mastery coming in big

woeful meteor
#

funniest part is without the sub bugs all 3 Specs would play Sepsis in .5 or it would be at least competitive

gaunt moat
#

if that was the case, i would return to ask why is not in class tree

vestal wren
#

only if you woul play rotten

#

what wasn't that popular to begin with

gaunt moat
#

It's just that as a programmer, when i see duplicate code, it's defcon 1.
and seeing sepsis at each spec's tree, is the same

vestal wren
#

i think overlaps like this are fin

#

fine*

#

tea, as much as i dissliked it initially is now the best talent of the general tree

#

deeper works well on all 3

woeful meteor
#

think it's somwhat similar to wilfreds not being in Lock Class Tree when all 3 Specs have it

vestal wren
#

there is a valid argument against nightstalker

woeful meteor
#

but lock class tree sucks anyway so idk

vestal wren
#

the reason we got many carry over talents is likely time

#

it was a gigantic effort to create interessting talent trees for so many specs

#

and some of them ended up being good, others not so

gaunt moat
#

Do mages have anything like that?
(asking because they are another pure DPS class)

vestal wren
#

mages have distinct playstyles

#

and also have a lot of non standard tree stuff

#

e.g. they have abilities baseline that would be considered a strong node for other classes

#

so the trees are not consistent between classes and specs

#

also as a consequence of how much they got iterated on AND how late they got developed

#

basically if you have a tree that did get introduced early on and had no big changes, you should have a higher prio of changes

gaunt moat
#

that's a big should

vestal wren
#

because the dev team experimented a lot with the early trees and had not found what works well

#

its just a consequence

#

it is similar to software developement

#

if you build a system, your first iteration will have quite some problems in design

gaunt moat
#

instead they really focused on shadow priest, paladin, mages and druid

vestal wren
#

rogue was supposed to happen during 10.1.5

#

was just delayed

gaunt moat
#

at least if it will really be 10.2
in about 2 months we'll probably start getting the changes on PTR

vestal wren
#

possible

#

this is not a guarantee

#

10.2 is also quite far away

#

so gives quite some time

thin scroll
#

I know mage has issues currently (before next patch) but I'm leveling one and and their class tree has so many utility options, like 7 points you can choose I think. I dream of that for rogues one day

gaunt moat
#

i'm telling you, anticipation is coming back monkaW

vestal wren
#

some changes seem very likely

#

changes to the general tree (too many dps traits)

#

assassination is still the only spec in the game that has 3 point nodes

thin scroll
#

Feels bad not being able to max that execute node

vestal wren
#

subtleties left side is not great

#

for outlaw i am actually not sure what you can change, i think there is room

#

ghostly is with 10.1.5 changes fairly dead

#

(and so is the left side of the tree)

gaunt moat
vestal wren
#

think zac/guy/solo have good ideas

gusty mirage
#

it cost us kingsbane and ghostly

vestal wren
gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

tbh i think the ghostly nerf does hurt outlaw quite a bit

#

in terms of build diversity

wary ice
#

Rip kings bane

#

Even in death he's infinitely cooler than dtb

runic hinge
vapid sierra
#

Dtb+sepsis feels nice to play

runic hinge
#

KB come back

vapid sierra
#

Just not a lot of build variety atm

woeful meteor
#

Ye, but if you played dtb or just didnt have a capstone doesnt make much of a difference gameplaywise unless I'm missing something, since I had it talented for basically the whole expansion at this point

wooden radish

#

what do you mean? theres an entire extra two poison applications on entering instances, that's huge on gameplay/rotation feel kek

royal lantern

its litearlly a passive dmg increase lol

yeha idk, can understand saying "i like sepsis gameplay" (even if i dont)

but man, what is there to feel about dtb lol

#

Hey, whats our crit % cap? For sin

royal lantern
#

there is no cap

#

you take a item without crit when a sim tells you an item without crit is better

#

rocking 49% crit with buffs btw

#

those stats are so cursed, ngl

torpid girder
#

Is exang still bad ? Like it’s says in the FAQ?

#

Just coming back brain a break

they do a good job keeping faq/pins up to date

#

if faq says stinky its stinky

royal lantern
#

you dont touch exsang at all

strange python
#

I think PI probably makes exsang good but I'm scared to check.

torpid girder
#

Ok cheers

royal lantern

Its bugged with DM

royal lantern

its bugged rn

torpid girder

What do I pick up instead then?

royal lantern

faq has everything updated

I'm aware. The sims include the bug. It's not that far down.

#

Yea i just go versa phial mostly

royal lantern
#

difference is to big for me peeposhrug

wary ice
#

i think my fok has like a 70% crit chance w/ talents and every time i get 1 cp i stop what im doing and write a strongly worded email

atomic rune
#

Versa phial always becasue it is the cheapest on my realm

austere fulcrum
cobalt hemlock
#

any tips and tricks you found out for zskarn?

atomic rune
royal lantern
#

(for me)

austere fulcrum
#

I think crit phial sims higher for most of sin rogs, i was just going phial default

atomic rune
#

Whenever I sim it just auto uses teh Tepid Versa phial

#

Idk if its a setting im not changing I just assumed it knew what to pick as the best

#

Although at patch start it was using Elemental without me changing anytthing too

royal lantern
#

its flasks

#

its a very minor difference at best

#

like, VERY minor

austere fulcrum
#

Yea i agree

lucid mirage
#

I've been gearing sub all expac but want to try sin again, am I seriously hurting my DPS by having a ton of vers for raid

austere fulcrum
#

We want mastery/crit

royal lantern
#

but not unplayable

#

(never is)

#

secondarys are not nearly as important as most people think they are

lucid mirage
#

I'll have to sim it out and see how the DPS compares

#

What are the general stat weights sin is looking for?

royal lantern
#

beacon doing crits will have a way way way WAY bigger effect on your dmg then stats

royal lantern
lucid mirage
#

Sorry I meant numbers wise

spice spire
#

It doesn’t matter

#

Loosely follow above

#

Ur chuckling

#

Sim it out

austere fulcrum

I was not trying to hit those numbers, my top gear suggested this

#

#

@balmy condor your sim are outdated, can't access them anymore :/

gusty mirage
turbid escarp
#

Wanted to get back into rogue, which seems like Sub is the current "meta". Unfortunately after playing it I feel like it's a bit clunky and prefer Assassination. Is Assassination still pretty decent for lower keys (2-11) as I get geared?

royal lantern
#

my man

#

every single class and spec works up to ~+22-23 with 0 problems lol

#

about beeing decent in lower keys?

#

eh

#

you wont be top dps for sure, stuff dies fast

#

except the group plays badly

atomic rune
#

If you keep on top of your gear in 11-16 keys you can easily EASILY be top DPS as assa rogue it just requires a lot of min-maxing to stay on top of your game because I personally feel if you fall behind in gear you can lose a lot of DPS

#

Because sometimes some Pala or Sub rogue will meander into your groups and just out stat you and theres not much you can do

#

11-16 is the sweet spot since most mobs die as your ruptures start wearing off so it feels pretty good

royal lantern
mortal tusk
royal lantern
#

20 is the sweet spot, cause then you do a single key and can ignore m+ for the rest of the week

atomic rune
gusty mirage
#

cause you can upgrade 441 gear to 447

#

starting this next reset

#

also because you can wipe 3-4 times and still time it

#

stack those aspect crests that you probably don't need anymore

#

would be greatif they were ACCOUNT WIDE

#

THAT'D BE SWELL

royal lantern
#

no

#

that would be stupid af

#

alts allready get geared in 5min

agile osprey
#

I really hope this dude made some gold on heroic carries with this number of kills...

royal lantern
#

giving alts litearlly free 441 gear would be so braindead

#

game mightaswell be a Moba at that point

gusty mirage
#

what

#

you still have to earn the crests either way

#

it's hardly "free"

#

and you have to farm the gear itself

royal lantern
#

there is a difference bettwen doing stuff for crests on my main and on some rat alt

gusty mirage
#

is there?

royal lantern
#

ye

gusty mirage
#

my "rat alt" is 439.9 ilvl

royal lantern
#

m+ is allready hell cus people get too much gear

gusty mirage
#

and the only thing holding it back is wyrm's crests

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

I have 26 sitting on my rogue

#

why should I run 11s to 15s to upgrade my gear that I drop from 17s-20s?

#

how does THAT make sense?

#

also why is it still a 1 to 1 trade

#

for downgrading crests

#

1 aspect should be worth at LEAST 2 wyrms

woeful meteor
royal lantern
#

i mean, im not a fan of the current gearing system because its far too effective oxi

#

so im the wrong guy to ask stuff like that

gusty mirage
#

you're crazy

royal lantern
#

litearlly 1 step away from a gear vendor

royal lantern
#

ofc i am

gusty mirage
#

like the idea that the new system is "free loot" is hilarious to me

#

because you still need to loot the item you want to upgrade lol

#

in fact it fixes the problem people had with previous systems

#

normal and heroic loot are still relevant

#

and with 10.1.5 the early mythic loot isn't useless anymore

silk bane
#

the new gear system is fucking lit. its so good. it allows them to tune boses easier too. like other than zskarn and sark no other changes really. thats massive!

#

idk

#

games much ebtter with this loot system

oak sky
#

They can slow it down pretty easily by just reducing the cap

#

Honestly

#

If thats a problem

silk bane
#

better

gusty mirage
#

yeah if they're worried about ilvl acquisition

#

simply lower the cap

#

problem solved

#

good system stays

oak sky
#

Which like

#

I think would be a good change

gusty mirage
#

if they blow this up and go back to the old system I'm going to scream

royal lantern
oak sky
#

Yeah that would just be bad

gusty mirage
#

but they should make crests account wide

#

it makes no sense for them not to be

royal lantern
#

system itself is fine

the ilvl infaltion for low effort is not

oak sky
#

They should definitely just reduce the caps early on

royal lantern
#

alteast thats my opinion

silk bane
#

also think about new player experience. imagine comign in and theyre like yeah u gotta farm for 6 months to get your gear. no one would wanna play the game. VS oh u just farm for 2 weeks and youre liiiit

royal lantern
#

like

gusty mirage
#

I mean is it low effort?

oak sky
#

Dont think valor cap was ever a problem previously tbh

royal lantern
#

system by itself how its works? great

gusty mirage
#

I remember the first 2 weeks of the season

#

it was for sure not low effort to get the aspects crests

silk bane
#

crafted being max ilvl + tier + unique items that you can upgrade to somewhat reasonable ilvl is honestly the dream.

gusty mirage
#

bricking 20s for vault slots

#

having to deplete 3 keys to get 1 crest

#

when those depletes lasted 45min to an hour

#

hardly low effort

#

if you're talking about now

#

sure yeah

silk bane
gusty mirage
#

but 20s were cake walks this point of the season last season

#

as people get gear, things get easier

#

as they should

#

it's an RPG after all

austere fulcrum
#

how good is it to craft torc of passed time 447 ? it sims 0.2 higher for me but off hand weapon or belt 447 also 0.2 ish

#

couldnt decide what to craft

Hello, one question I want to ask the jewelry ring, what stats should I put on it, knowing that in raid I play assa and in mythical I play subtlety what would you do critical mastery?

I think Whispyr said after rupture, before sepsis is best time in opener and then on CD.

#

I could be wrong though

gusty mirage

garrote > snd > ER > Rupture > beacon > rest of opener

is there a wa that tells u when u should feint in raid ?

anyone gonna be using 447 anvil next week?

#

it sims slightly higher than my 441 beacon but obviously a few crits would change that I'd imagine

#

can someone tell me in which case ı should go zoldyck 3/3 on rashok ?

spice spire
#

When it’s the optimized build (which it’s not)

balmy condor
#

But I’m unsure if it’s possible now without exsang

austere fulcrum
#

i think ı do cast a DM and it fully runs after 35%

#

llet me look at my logs

#

difference would be minor right ?

balmy condor
#

Ye

gaunt moat
#

At what exact point does neltharion get 99% reduced damage at second phase?

royal lantern
#

think it was 35%?

#

idk, never look at it tbh

gaunt moat
#

is it depending on his health?

royal lantern
#

yes

gaunt moat
#

oh, i thought it depends on add

royal lantern
#

its so that you cant just end the fight at p2 lmao

#

its just a hardstop

#

oh... i should cleave then

celest marlin
#

when do you vanish on Sepsis opener no sang?

cinder stump
#

is there a reason sims use deathmark immediately after sepsis? does it gain the benefit of the stealth damage?

cinder stump
royal lantern
#

thats it

#

has nothing to do with sepsis itself

#

its really just an "all dots are up, DM time" thing

celest marlin
#

so sepsis before deathmark? isnt that los of 1-2secs of deathmark?

cinder stump
clever sapphire
celest marlin
#

why not use it on first aswell since it still will be available on 2min mark?

cinder stump
#

yeah thats what i thought as well

clever sapphire
#

Waste of a gcd 🤷‍♂️

#

You are overcapping garrote timer by like 20 seconds with that opener also

#

Cause out of sepsis you garrote too

celest marlin
#

when sepsis finishes you reapply garrote again? hmm

#

thats like 5-6 secs left of deathamrk

cinder stump
#

sooo it should just be garrote ---> slice n dice --> reprimand ( pot) --> rupture ---> sepsis--> deathmark ---> shiv ---> envenom etc.

#

?

royal lantern
#

yes

So is iridium frag still over simming? I saw the pins said don’t use it. I got bomb dispenser today and I’m trying to figure out what to run out of: iridium frag, bomb dispenser, chromatic, and ele anvil

woeful meteor
#

should be bomb + chromatic

#

sim it tho

i would just sim without fragment and choose the highest combination

if the other trinkets are somewhat equal in ilvl

The following is a general recommendation, but you will always get more accurate results through simming your gear through Top Gear.
Crit >= Mastery > Haste > Versatility
Note: In high mythic+ keys, you may want more Versatility to survive. While you may see this on high end players gear, this is generally worse DPS. For pure DPS, Versatility is mostly avoided.

Awesome! So, I'm currently progging on mythic experiments with my guild. I'm consistently around 80k dps. I switched from Sub to Assa last Monday(?), I'm doing way less than top gear says I should be doing. We save CDs until 1st boss is at 50%? So I can't use Deathmark and such at the beginning. Any tips/suggestions would be very welcome!

gusty mirage

#

understandable

gaunt moat
#

@uncut isle That's kinda weird fight to compare to sim, it has many periods where you can't dps, so don't look at the sim too strictly
also, i think it's a pretty bad fight for sin

spice spire
#

Also holding CDs insanecat

balmy condor
#

like you can still shiv and er and all that

#

but yeh holding is uh

#

bit cringe

uncut isle
#

Yea that's fair! I do use sepsis and such ofc. So it's just this boss is crap?

spice spire
#

Wait if you sepsis the first boss and it dies within x time

balmy condor
#

boss sucks a bit if you're doing strats like that

spice spire

Do you get the reset?

yes

#

That's fair. I'm honestly quite an inexperienced player so it's a lot haha. Because usually for the opener rotation I do;

Garrote -> Slice and Dice -> Mutilate x 2 -> Rupture -> Sepsis -> Shiv -> Garrote(at the end of sepsis) -> Deathmark -> Envenom -> Echoing Reprimand. Basically what Whispyr's(?) guide says on wowhead.

So for the opener right now I'm just doing all of that save Deathmark and trinkets and such

My enemy left the server 😦

gusty mirage
#

wdym I'm still here

uncut isle
#

Gotcha! Is there anything I should take in mind during the normal rotation? Like I get the opener. I keep vanish for the 2nd Deathmark like 2 minutes into the fight. I noticed there's points where Sepsis and Deathmark sorta realign again timing-wise?

strange python
#

My main enemy

uncut isle
#

Is that the point where I do the opener rotation again?

gusty mirage
strange python
#

Ladies and gentlemen. I have replaced annulet and eranog rings.

gusty mirage
#

if that ends up being the case you can play around with vanish to get more imp garrote uptime

#

but that's something I'd worry about waaaay later down the line

uncut isle
#

And that's also the big thing with assa right, keeping up the big Garrote uptime?

gusty mirage
#

yeppers

#

that's a big chunk of our damage

@blazing jewelwhat's cto

I'll just keep practicing then 🙂 thanks a lot for the help. I do think the playstyle is super fun

idle inlet
#

Can someone explain why fok doesn't give the same amount of cp as shuriken storm from a design standpoint. It feels like it should

royal lantern
#

cus they are different abilitys

limber lion
#

Definitely shouldn't

gusty mirage
#

we're usually nice

#

except for @blazing jewel

#

he's from florida

#

he can't help himself

blazing jewel
#

Bro?

uncut isle
#

hahaha, fair enough! I do have one more actually. So, with the starting rotation, it's like

royal lantern
#

and because the OG desing of sublety was "use shuriken storm.to isntantly get full cp and then do eviscerate, do this fast all the time" as its "aoe rotation" for a longer time

gusty mirage
uncut isle
#

When you get to Sepsis, you get 1 free stealth ability so that goes to Garrote? And then another one after that, right? So that also goes to garrote? And do I just literally wait between those 2 garrotes before proceeding with the rest of the rotation?

#

Or am I doing something wrong there?

So that's also part of the playstyle? Legit just waiting for stuff sometimes?

static fable

yep

blazing jewel

#

and hold a shiv+tea for sepsis

gusty mirage
uncut isle
#

yea I'm always holding at least 1 shiv in reserve. Is shiv also important for Deathmark actually?

strange python
blazing jewel
#

They only hand pick the best rogues they can find on the NA servers (I am shit at the game)

uncut isle
#

I think that's the point I'm still struggling with a bit. I think(?) I get most of the rotation, but I'm not really sure as to the timing

royal lantern
#

if you wanna be safe

just dont use shiv by itself unless you are about to get the 2nd stack, and you always have a charge for sepsis/dm that way

#

doesnt even result in less casts trought out a fight

gaunt moat
#

@royal lanternHow do you do the beginning of phase 1 btw?
When he's pulled the the corner I shadowstep him
Then I stay and cloak the AoE hit
Then I sprint and shadowstep him again

blazing jewel
#

Notter are you talking nelth

royal lantern
#

i keep cloak all the time in case i get shity hearth momenta

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

like, having to walk in fire, i rather have cloak ready

gusty mirage
#

realistically you need to be super comfy with every aspect of a spec to be able to tweak the recommended timings, ya know?

uncut isle
royal lantern
#

and we hit the p1 dps stop/forced p2 99% dmg reduction anyway, no reason to greed my deffensives anyway

gusty mirage
#

also pulls on the boss helps a TON

#

because sometimes it's better to delay a CD if a mechanic is about to happen, etc

blazing jewel
#

On the first time he’s pulled to the corner I would refresh rupture as he’s running because it just hits pandemic at that moment so when you cast your next envenom if PB procs he’s stationary

#

But nelth p1 damage doesn’t matter all that much

gaunt moat
royal lantern
#

ye, i have to stop a couple seconds after the 2nd dm anyway cus we need to hold dps

uncut isle
#

What I'm not entirely(?) getting yet is the wait for garrote. So I did rupture -> Sepsis -> Shiv -> .. this garrote. Do I use this actually two times? One for each 'stealth' ability? Can I use other abilities in the meantime?

gusty mirage
#

so that shiv covers the last bonk on sepsis

#

that first one is getting wasted pandemic timing regardless if you hold it or not

#

ya know

#

cause it's so close to the opening garrote

gaunt moat
#

Can't really cloak volcanic heart, since i'll have to move away anyway
or.. wait, does cloak remove volcanic heart completely?

#

like.. the circle disspears?

gusty mirage
#

the circle doesn't disappear

#

but you never get the dot

gaunt moat
#

the dot isn't an issue though right?
so it's not worth cloaking

uncut isle
#

oxi would you mind if I DMed you a short clip of what I'm doing rn? totally okay if you'd rather not, just me trying to get this rotation down

gusty mirage
#

I saved cloak mostly for the shitty overlaps with the umbral destruction or whatever the raid wide damage is

#

because that shit hurts

gusty mirage
#

go for it my friend

uncut isle
#

Super appreciated!!

gusty mirage
#

and deep into prog I saved it for when I was getting ice lanced for 120k when I got MC'd

😐

#

bro i got a cannon from a TYRANT

the other

day

200k into the back

gaunt moat
blazing jewel
#

I think the only time I cloak during that fight is if someone double stacks me with a bomb or if I get corrupted during the transition to the second add

#

Even now you live double stacked bombs with 0 issue when you have feint up

gusty mirage
#

ngl

#

I'm waiting for reprog

I 100% guarantee our warlocks hate me btw

#

I was 100% using their imps and dogs for CP

#

with fok

soft shale
#

worth

#

vengeance

gusty mirage
#

but yeah

#

tips for nelth:
feint works on fucking everything
cloak is great for raid wide damage and in p3 when a caster inevitably steals your portal

#

and you can evasion the wallbreaks

#

enjoy prog boys

#

110% recommend evasioning the wallbreak in p2 when everyone's moving across the entire room to the add

#

everyone gets 3-4 stacks and are rotting

#

and you're just chillin

gaunt moat
#

how does evasion work for that

soft shale
#

just press it looking at the wall

#

but maybe someone tried not looking idk

#

if anyone can confirm

#

it also helps corrupting rage uptime

gaunt moat
#

not using that

#

i was looking at lorrgs, and was wondering why i see people using evasion

soft shale
#

same as i love feint working on so many things i got rashok with 87% uptime

gaunt moat
#

i was thinking "are they taking elusviness?"

soft shale
#

possible too tbh

#

nothing kinda needs cheat

#

unless an add targets you and melees

gusty mirage
#

it's weird

gaunt moat
#

nope, that's the mythic nelth breakdown

soft shale
#

oh nice so it is like BH

#

problem i have with BH is second evasion sometimes

spice surge
soft shale

nice clarify

gusty mirage

gusty mirage

as long as the boss is in front of you

you're good

which I mean

you will be cause you're doing damage

#

😛

blazing jewel
#

Oxi enlightened me to this just now

#

And then called me bad at the game

#

I’m putting in a complaint to hr

#

Which is also oxi

gusty mirage
#

HR is the purple names

#

fight me irl kyle

#

idk

gaunt moat
#

So Oxi, just to be clear, you recommened to evasion after killing first add right before wall break

blazing jewel
#

That overlap usually hits pretty hard

blazing jewel
#

When you go from first to second add

gusty mirage
#

that overlap is prolly the worst in p2

#

minus hearts + umbral

#

which is later in p2?

blazing jewel
#

A lot of people have to be moving during that so you’re not going to get a lot of healing

gusty mirage
#

it's been almost a month since I've pulled that boss

#

holy

balmy condor

we have a gate there at that point
spent most raid trying to position that gate so it will even work

balmy condor

yeah

#

that's normal

#

I cloak it and just walk with the boss

#

instead of taking the gate

gaunt moat

but anyway, thanks for the tip!
I'm off to bed, so goodnight prayge

tragic really

marble hemlock
#

tragic is when you blind or kidney his tyrant

lethal mortar
#

do u just send beacon on pull

balmy condor
#

after rupture yeah

wooden radish
#

I see some doing it after the first garrote

#

or even precasting it as a pull?

lethal mortar
#

^ i thought it was those two

#

either you precast it or right after garrote

woeful meteor
#

Dont mention the prepull tech to whispyr

wooden radish
keen spruce
#

you can precast it, but you generally gain nothing by doing it

#

and it's worse on several fights

#

with specific timings that use vanish before the 2m deathmark

wooden radish
#

makes sense

keen spruce
#

unless you're just doing heroic reclears that run close to 2:30 kills

#

then you might gain a cast by pre-casting it

#

i had a couple of weeks where bosses died during my 2nd beacon cast

#

cuz our raid dps just happened to land the kill right then

balmy condor
covert patrol
#

enlighten me why

balmy condor
#

Because you’re just wasting a vanish

covert patrol
#

because im holding for 2mins anyways, its sarkareth

balmy condor
#

Why are you holding vanish

keen spruce
#

you don't hold vanish for 2m on sark

balmy condor
#

When you’re already holding sepsis

covert patrol
#

i use it to refresh it on the boss + big add after the 2nd deathmark expires

#

ye maybe its bad

balmy condor
#

But with a vanish in p1

#

Because like

#

You don’t actually lose it

woeful meteor
#

more importantly why are you playing sin when your guild page advertises you as outlaw player UUH 😄

covert patrol
#

because outlaw is absoluteley terrible on that fight

#

and our comp was garbanzo anyways so every single boss dps was good

balmy condor
#

It’s sepsis + dm on boss start of p2, vanish second add+boss

#

And then you get to hold sepsis again

#

Sepsis+dm start of p3

#

Vanish on cd

#

Sepsis to cover dm

#

and then sepsis at the end

#

If it makes you feel better though the rank 1 no pi also fucked vanish

covert patrol
#

haha well at least a little bit, but thanks for the info anyways

wooden radish
#

The log i linked was from Magmorax

covert patrol
#

ye there it is so u get another cast in at the end

wooden radish
#

i just picked a random rank 1 no pi log

#

and saw that beacon was precasted

covert patrol
#

my last beacon is like 3 seconds before kill

balmy condor
#

Yeah magmorax you can get away with it

wooden radish
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

And claim like +45 dps

#

whatever

#

Sure

#

But it’s hard trolling on nelth and sark

Hey guys! For the boots option, I still got my Slimy Expulsion Boots(remnant from switching from Sub). How significant is the upgrade from those to the thorny ones? Should i 100% go for them asap or could they wait?

balmy condor

Not major

#

Probably worth crafting legit everything else

#

And then going back to the boots

keen spruce

seems like ~400-600 dps if you're already in pretty good gear. normally better options for quite a while
