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
then we're relying on tooltips to be accurate, that's a very dangerous game 
Theres not just press whatever button lights up on your keyboard
people did for a long time do placebo optimizations too
Thats not the snapshotting people were talking about
Well sure. I just think snapshotting allows for some skill expression and I like it
we talk about exsang specific
you're not stupid
Yeah fufk that ability
because it snapshots haste
stop being mean to yourself 😠
Youre all correct
There's only like three snapshot abilities in the game
nightstalker snapshots
fianlity does
And empowered rip? Maybe?
assassination has quite some that snapshot
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
so we have more than 3 in the game
How about we get anticipation back as a talent so we won't have a gazillion mutilate wasted CPs? 
around 40% is where you start running into DRs which would make haste and mastery more valuable
not sure, i feel like higher cp max just means more time is spend on spenders
does mastery not get hit by DR?
it does, but mastery converts into mastery points or some shit like that
and it DRs different than other stats
I mean in addition to 6 CPs
it would be a talent after all
awesome thanks for explaining.
would need to test to see how it plays

Anticipation was very passive, wasn't it? just makes wasted CPs not wasted
But it would also lead to a higher number of the finisher, I mean a 1 million envenom because of 20 cp would also look good
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
!whispyr

sim not fund ? its normal ?
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
Why would you use a finisher at 4+ without and 5+ with?
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
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
yes
you basically would store all overflow as a buff
and if you use a finisher get the stored cps
am i wrong to think that's incredibly useful?
you reduce cp loss, so it is useful
If they'll redesign some of our left tree for utility
i would like to see it return
its not insane in damage value if you already have a gameplay loop that does not waste a lot cp
looking at my rashok log for example, I had 37 wasted CPs through seal fate.
that's about 6 extra envenoms worth
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)
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
tbh i have no idea
the big nodes are "tea", "dance", ER" and deeper basically
seal fate is impact wise up there too
how good is seal fate for outlaw and sub?
you would not play without them
then i doubt they remove that
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
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
sepsis only rly fits assassination
So you could ask, why is it even an option for the other specs
you could yes
When your sim finishes and you see the plus numbers nice.jpg
sbs did fit outlaw well in SL, but i feel like it would be bad now
haste mastery coming in big
funniest part is without the sub bugs all 3 Specs would play Sepsis in .5 or it would be at least competitive
if that was the case, i would return to ask why is not in class tree
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
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
think it's somwhat similar to wilfreds not being in Lock Class Tree when all 3 Specs have it
there is a valid argument against nightstalker
but lock class tree sucks anyway so idk
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
Do mages have anything like that?
(asking because they are another pure DPS class)
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
that's a big should
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
instead they really focused on shadow priest, paladin, mages and druid
at least if it will really be 10.2
in about 2 months we'll probably start getting the changes on PTR
possible
this is not a guarantee
10.2 is also quite far away
so gives quite some time
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
i'm telling you, anticipation is coming back 
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
Feels bad not being able to max that execute node
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)
Add a UI element for Audacity would be a start..
think zac/guy/solo have good ideas
you see what we sacrificed so sub could go left side of the tree?
it cost us kingsbane and ghostly



tbh i think the ghostly nerf does hurt outlaw quite a bit
in terms of build diversity
My beloved
Dtb+sepsis feels nice to play
KB come back
Just not a lot of build variety atm
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
share thoughts pls
what do you mean? theres an entire extra two poison applications on entering instances, that's huge on gameplay/rotation feel 
how can dtb feel nice to play
its litearlly a passive dmg increase lol
the 1 extra energy from more crits with dashing makes it so much faster
at least that's the only gameplay influence it has I think
yeha idk, can understand saying "i like sepsis gameplay" (even if i dont)
but man, what is there to feel about dtb lol
Fantasy
+why is it even called Dragon-tempered Blades
cause dragonflight duh
its litearlly the only talent in the entire game for all classes that has a DF related name lol
had to get one in
could argue that evoker has DF related names 
shoulda been called "dude, two boisons"
yes, but thats by the nature of Evoker beeing a Dragon class
"fking 2 poisons"
or in short, F2P
2 poisons 1 dagger

do I craft the second ring to get rid of onyx next week or do I craft a neck
sims aint helpin, but its gotta be the ring

Hey, whats our crit % cap? For sin
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
Ill share my stats once im on my pc haha
From a break *
yes
you dont touch exsang at all
Bad is overstating it. It's not that far behind in sims. But it requires an annoying playstyle, can be bad with fight timings, and is more complicated even under ideal circumstances to only lose DPS.
I think PI probably makes exsang good but I'm scared to check.
no
its bad
Ok cheers
like
Its bugged with DM
its bugged rn
What do I pick up instead then?
faq has everything updated
I'm aware. The sims include the bug. It's not that far down.
How much u sim ?
Looks like u have so much crit 🙂
~125k
do you still get 1cp on foks :^)
Ofc
None shall avoid those
Fair, i have 40 % crit sim around 124/125 too
@blazing jewel it happened we are 20 Mains 
how should i know
dont do content where FoK is needed as assa anymore
0 keys as assa this season 🙂
i mean, even said its with all buffs
runes+crit flask
without its 40%
Yea i just go versa phial mostly
difference is to big for me 
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
Versa phial always becasue it is the cheapest on my realm
What do u mean
any tips and tricks you found out for zskarn?
If you kill the boss you will get loot
sim difference bettwen crit and vers is like 900 dps
(for me)
I think crit phial sims higher for most of sin rogs, i was just going phial default
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
Yea i agree
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
Ton of vers not good
We want mastery/crit
its slightly bad
but not unplayable
(never is)
secondarys are not nearly as important as most people think they are
I'll have to sim it out and see how the DPS compares
What are the general stat weights sin is looking for?
beacon doing crits will have a way way way WAY bigger effect on your dmg then stats
crit>mastery=haste>vers
Sorry I meant numbers wise
Ofc but we want some mastery and crit up to some point. And rest fine
Numbers might change for everyone obviously, i run personally 5200/5400 crit 5400 mastery 1.6/2 k haste and abit higher than 2k versa with flask
I was not trying to hit those numbers, my top gear suggested this
Those are for St
I play different stats for m+ or specific bosses or dungeons
@balmy condor your sim are outdated, can't access them anymore :/
sheesh
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?
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
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

19-20 is the sweet spot cause you can IC every single pack of mobs
20 is the sweet spot, cause then you do a single key and can ignore m+ for the rest of the week
I look forward to this I just dont look forward to the IC running out at the tail end of the packs xdd
16-17s are the sweet spot
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
what
no
that would be stupid af
alts allready get geared in 5min
I really hope this dude made some gold on heroic carries with this number of kills...
giving alts litearlly free 441 gear would be so braindead
game mightaswell be a Moba at that point
what
you still have to earn the crests either way
it's hardly "free"
and you have to farm the gear itself

there is a difference bettwen doing stuff for crests on my main and on some rat alt
is there?
ye
my "rat alt" is 439.9 ilvl
m+ is allready hell cus people get too much gear
and the only thing holding it back is wyrm's crests

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
it's a kazzak player so following the stereotype that's his rl income right there
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
you're crazy
litearlly 1 step away from a gear vendor
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
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
They can slow it down pretty easily by just reducing the cap
Honestly
If thats a problem
better
yeah if they're worried about ilvl acquisition
simply lower the cap
problem solved
good system stays
if they blow this up and go back to the old system I'm going to scream
yes
Yeah that would just be bad
system itself is fine
the ilvl infaltion for low effort is not
They should definitely just reduce the caps early on
alteast thats my opinion
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
like
I mean is it low effort?
Dont think valor cap was ever a problem previously tbh
system by itself how its works? great
I remember the first 2 weeks of the season
it was for sure not low effort to get the aspects crests
crafted being max ilvl + tier + unique items that you can upgrade to somewhat reasonable ilvl is honestly the dream.
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
thats a dungeon tuning issue tbh. no reason why stink breath should one shot my warlock turreting in the back lul
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
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?
beacon is really worse than irideus frag for sin?
so equip beacon is what ur saying
no u
Was anvil trinket buffed or something is wrong with my sim? 😄
0.6% upgrade
If you have bad trinkets
Vs bomb 441 and 441 essence on droptimizer sim with all buffs for it*

Nvm, Im an imbecil 😄

When do we send Beacon bois
on cd
I think Whispyr said after rupture, before sepsis is best time in opener and then on CD.
I could be wrong though
garrote > snd > ER > Rupture > beacon > rest of opener
is there a wa that tells u when u should feint in raid ?
No
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
Yeh maybe this weekend
can someone tell me in which case ı should go zoldyck 3/3 on rashok ?
When it’s the optimized build (which it’s not)
If you get your Deathmark at 35% you should play it
But I’m unsure if it’s possible now without exsang
i think ı do cast a DM and it fully runs after 35%
llet me look at my logs
difference would be minor right ?
Ye
At what exact point does neltharion get 99% reduced damage at second phase?
is it depending on his health?
yes
oh, i thought it depends on add
oh... i should cleave then
when do you vanish on Sepsis opener no sang?
is there a reason sims use deathmark immediately after sepsis? does it gain the benefit of the stealth damage?
i do garrote-->slice n dice ---> repirmand (potion) -->rupture --> vanish --> garrote --> deathmark ---> sepsis ---> shiv---> envenom
because you wanna DM at some point, and also want a GCD bettwen using sepsis and shiv
thats it
has nothing to do with sepsis itself
its really just an "all dots are up, DM time" thing
so sepsis before deathmark? isnt that los of 1-2secs of deathmark?
thats what i was asking about it looks like im wrong there id flip the twom i think im witching mine as well
and thanks
Is that a sark opener? Because your first vanish should be at your second deathmark usually so 2 min into the fight
why not use it on first aswell since it still will be available on 2min mark?
yeah thats what i thought as well
Waste of a gcd 🤷♂️
You are overcapping garrote timer by like 20 seconds with that opener also
Cause out of sepsis you garrote too
when sepsis finishes you reapply garrote again? hmm
thats like 5-6 secs left of deathamrk
sooo it should just be garrote ---> slice n dice --> reprimand ( pot) --> rupture ---> sepsis--> deathmark ---> shiv ---> envenom etc.
?
yes
gotcha ill switch things around

This text '2' means to use 1st garrote where it is on the pic and 2nd one close to an end?
Yeah
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
i would just sim without fragment and choose the highest combination
if the other trinkets are somewhat equal in ilvl
That’s what I was thinkin 😛 tyvm

It was literally asked
no i just literally never heard of them
do we have his armory?
He’s in a pretty good guild
!stats
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.
cus nobody lives here anyway
BRB moving to tryans area
that would boost the population by 0,5%
Ayo?

he doesn't raid tonight 
unless they are the unethical extra day

Hello!! Is there anyone here that wouldn't mind giving me some feedback? I just switched over to Assa and I feel like I'm sorta 'not getting it'. Or should I ask this question elsewhere?
we are the people
Quake you kill the lizard tonight
how do you always get everything wrong?
who can help you getting it
Don’t use armory use wclogs
whatever yeah
we got zskarn to 40% too
You kill the lizard tonight
lizard soon
Mf actually gonna say that I’m getting ce tonight when I’m rashok 
ahgahaha
tksa lets check out

I'm off until the 11th
no content for you
I have reclear tonight with a new tank
Yeah lil bro let’s prog rashok zskarn echo and lizard all one night
That will be content
imagine getting a new tank and not trialing oxipal
Free
heartbroken
if you weren't shit you already would have
Spent all night reprogressing phase 1 mostly 

same
When ur right ur right
But I am shit so here we are
bro trust I'd position bosses so you wouldn't get parried @blazing jewel
i held him back
name another tank who'd do that
what do you mean same
you said you got to 1%
Impossible
first rashok pulls with new tank
Im altways right
I am simply assembled uniquely
That’s false
no thats left
First rashok pulls with a new guild
you're so stupid lmao
omg

bro change your pfp I know george is smarter than that
oxi wins the case again
Why are the fancy names fighting
george would've heard the dogwhistle
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!
I was nice to daps today so I have to counter-act it somehow
Dude I saw “George” was typing in OT and my stupid ass thought wtf George doesn’t have thumbs @spice spire
understandable
@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
Also holding CDs 
top gear isn't really a stand in for bosses with downtime and stuff, best thing to do it just make sure you aren't holding ALL your cds
like you can still shiv and er and all that
but yeh holding is uh
bit cringe
Yea that's fair! I do use sepsis and such ofc. So it's just this boss is crap?
Wait if you sepsis the first boss and it dies within x time
boss sucks a bit if you're doing strats like that
Do you get the reset?
yes
yes

Lil bros cooking too much rn
we did same, it's so that the 3rd boss won't immediately use breath when it comes
My ass is not cooking rn
Realz typing in outlaw 
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
Man’s got a lot to do.
Transparency is super nice
It wasn’t even pinged huge
bettwen those promising p3 almost kill pulls, we Spend most of the night wiping in p1 again

WA NOT WORKING
DIDNT SHOW ME THE SPOT SORRY
Is your raid all on bigwigs
you'll feel more comfortable with time, just don't beat yourself if you mess something up
we all do
Dbm was having a bad time with those WAs
even my old crusty ass messes things up
the sad thing is just, idk if peoplr legit have Problems or just use it as an excuse
I appreciate that! It feels quite complicated to play to be honest
Yeah cuz u got old man hands
like 80% are bigwigs, im on dmb and had 0problems at all
You and I can fight if you want

Weird
Yeah most of it ends up turning into muscle memory, just takes reps
so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just drill the basics and then you'll be cranking DPS in no time
too late I already picked quake as my public enemy #1
My enemy left the server 😦
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?
My main enemy
Is that the point where I do the opener rotation again?
so here's the funky thing with sepsis, eventually you'll notice that most of the time sepsis's garrotes cover DM anyway
Ladies and gentlemen. I have replaced annulet and eranog rings.
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
And that's also the big thing with assa right, keeping up the big Garrote uptime?
@blazing jewelwhat's cto
Count the odds
what's count the odds
The random buff procs in the outlaw tree
I'll just keep practicing then 🙂 thanks a lot for the help. I do think the playstyle is super fun
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
cus they are different abilitys
Definitely shouldn't
you got this, and if you ever have any questions feel free to drop em in here
we're usually nice
except for @blazing jewel
he's from florida
he can't help himself
Bro?
hahaha, fair enough! I do have one more actually. So, with the starting rotation, it's like
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

cos assa got no love
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?
yep, always garrote with sepsis
How toxic is scana that you used him as the exception and not me
I don’t think having 2 specs with the same aoe generator would be a ton of fun
His name is Kyle
You're not from florida and your name isn't Kyle
yep, but you have to hold the proc till it almost ends
😦 I haven't gotten into enough fights here clearly.
So that's also part of the playstyle? Legit just waiting for stuff sometimes?
yep
We can be toxic together
and hold a shiv+tea for sepsis
yep that's assassination in a nut shell
yea I'm always holding at least 1 shiv in reserve. Is shiv also important for Deathmark actually?
Can I join consequence too
yep

They only hand pick the best rogues they can find on the NA servers (I am shit at the game)
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
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
@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
Notter are you talking nelth
das what whispyr does iirc
i keep cloak all the time in case i get shity hearth momenta
timing comes with comfort levels, when you got everything down pat you can start playing around with timings etc
realistically you need to be super comfy with every aspect of a spec to be able to tweak the recommended timings, ya know?
Fair! Turns back to what you said earlier!
and we hit the p1 dps stop/forced p2 99% dmg reduction anyway, no reason to greed my deffensives anyway
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
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
yeah
ye, i have to stop a couple seconds after the 2nd dm anyway cus we need to hold dps
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?
ideally you'd sepsis > gar > shiv for the first part of sepsis
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
My cloak comes back in time for phase 2 anyway
and i don't see anywhere else i'm gonna use it on P1
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?
the dot isn't an issue though right?
so it's not worth cloaking
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
if your healers don't hate you, no not really
I saved cloak mostly for the shitty overlaps with the umbral destruction or whatever the raid wide damage is
because that shit hurts
I would not
go for it my friend
Super appreciated!!
and deep into prog I saved it for when I was getting ice lanced for 120k when I got MC'd
😐
Yeah, i died on the one time we got to 3rd add
since i wasn't topped off, he blasted, and I didn't feint.
But i've put the "raid damage" bar in the middle of the screen now. i think feint should be good enough.
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
LMFAO
ngl
I'm waiting for reprog
gonna hit our frost mage with a nice beacon
then jumped by 4 dogs
payback's a bitch
and pelted by 20 imps
Bansherz had it coming
felt like colombia gang
by bomb you mean volcanic heart?
Yea
I 100% guarantee our warlocks hate me btw
I was 100% using their imps and dogs for CP
with fok

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
how does evasion work for that
just press it looking at the wall
but maybe someone tried not looking idk
if anyone can confirm
it also helps corrupting rage uptime
not using that
i was looking at lorrgs, and was wondering why i see people using evasion
same as i love feint working on so many things i got rashok with 87% uptime
i was thinking "are they taking elusviness?"
don't need to look at the wall
it's weird
nope, that's the mythic nelth breakdown
Need to look at boss
nice clarify
yeah
that might be the most unintuitive rogue bullshit i've heard to this day.
as long as the boss is in front of you
you're good
which I mean
you will be cause you're doing damage
😛
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
So Oxi, just to be clear, you recommened to evasion after killing first add right before wall break
That overlap usually hits pretty hard
yessir
When you go from first to second add
that overlap is prolly the worst in p2
minus hearts + umbral
which is later in p2?
A lot of people have to be moving during that so you’re not going to get a lot of healing
it's been almost a month since I've pulled that boss
holy
time flies when you're wiping 262 times on sark

I always cloaked this one btw
we have a gate there at that point
spent most raid trying to position that gate so it will even work
yeah
that's normal
I cloak it and just walk with the boss
instead of taking the gate
that gate rarely worked for me cause it was either me getting MC'd or our warlock
tragic really
tragic is when you blind or kidney his tyrant
do u just send beacon on pull
after rupture yeah
Dont mention the prepull tech to whispyr
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
makes sense
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

Yeah this is fucking terrible
enlighten me why
Because you’re just wasting a vanish
because im holding for 2mins anyways, its sarkareth
When you’re already holding sepsis
i use it to refresh it on the boss + big add after the 2nd deathmark expires
ye maybe its bad
Yeah, I do that too
But with a vanish in p1
Because like
You don’t actually lose it
more importantly why are you playing sin when your guild page advertises you as outlaw player
😄
because outlaw is absoluteley terrible on that fight
and our comp was garbanzo anyways so every single boss dps was good
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
haha well at least a little bit, but thanks for the info anyways
The log i linked was from Magmorax
ye there it is so u get another cast in at the end
my last beacon is like 3 seconds before kill
Yeah magmorax you can get away with it
yeah
Is Mersa trialing for you now, he told me it was a possibility, but havent talk with him since then @covert patrol
ye he was raiding with us last week, dunno about any additonal info tho
kk
@balmy condor !stats
idk i see a lot of people sending it after the first garrote after looking over logs
@blazing jewel !stats
And that’s wrong too
looks like crit haste 
its haste mast gems
more mastery gamers
sim number?

with vers phial i assume?
rage
ah okey tyy
rage 80% 
ye same, thought we had similar sims but trinkets do make the difference ig
mastery gang
im getting trinket gapped reeee
Hehehe
normal bacon is a feelsbad
dont be mad im only 3k ahead and im dogshit 
switching to class trinket made the re-gem/re-enchant on rings worth almost 1k dps lol
I can feel it

poggers
(Or whenever it comes)

on repeat
worth about 5k dps
I got the filthiest dark synth
Like you feel like you just murdered a few innocents
And liked it
beacon 0/2 on crits and I had to run for 20s on kaz
feelsgood
@balmy condor make my beacon crit right now
Crit
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?
Not major
Probably worth crafting legit everything else
And then going back to the boots
seems like ~400-600 dps if you're already in pretty good gear. normally better options for quite a while
A socket is usually worth more than the difference in boots as well so don’t feel pressured to take a half-fragment from vault
what
he has 5,186% instead of the required 5,187% haste
catalyzing my cloak to the vers mastery cloak
is apparently 300 dps

does anyone have the advanced sim for comparing chromatic essence buffs?
i don't have the exact way to compare them all. but it's this text
so if someone doesn't have the block of text to do the different combos you could just run it multiple times and change that stuff around 
tysm

guys how do I do more damage
Crit or proc better.
yea you right


I’m gonna start using augs
Aug runes I dont use always and wf I dont have always 
Its a bit of a psycholocical thing where I dont want to pressure myself into a dps value in my head that I cannot reach
Well ask my nelth trinket 
Nothing
I’m just doing opposition research
And you sim unusually high for what your gear is
So it’s always a bit interesting
theyre cheating, no other explanation
Unusually high for ilvl 444? Is that a low ilvl now?
augment rune is like 1k dps by itself
he's a filthy hooker
unforgivable
if you say so
you sure about that?
Nah, but he’s missing a lot of big mythic upgrades
444 is like mythic raider with no reclear loot
So very standard
I'd say 800 dps is closer to 1k than 500
But he’s at like 129 almost
but ya know
my ass is over here at 424 because what is mythic even
I mean that’s not really an excuse tbh
I must be too casual to be a frequent flyer here. 😅
You can craft your 7th piece this week
ok sorry less than 800, which is almost 750 which is a draw between 500 and 1k 🤓
778 ackshually 
The gear system is just crazy for getting to 440
It’s basically free
but still wild tbh
I'm sitting here wondering why I'm on blast. I put myself in the flames
