find a trinket other than bomb dispenser

devout prism
#

did you try setting your loot spec to dagger spec

worn igloo
#

oh is THAT what causes my ambush to fake cast sometimes, interesting

mighty elm
#

@devout prism ASslap

#

OFC I DID

worn igloo
#

I'll tell my raid group that dispenser make me upsetti spaghetti and they should let me have other trinkets

slow mortar
haughty flicker
#

if its the 4th gcd its not bomba causing that

#

its just bars swapping

balmy condor
#

bomb dispenser and subterfuge

#

is the issue

devout prism
#

the bars swapping shouldn't cause you to miss the gcd unless you've got something macro'd oddly

balmy condor
#

there's no other bugs

slow mortar
#

I don't use bomb dispenser and didn't even mention it

balmy condor
#

then working as intended idk

haughty flicker
#

its not a bug or a missing gcd

eternal heath
#

Whispyr, what do you use to display ability casts? The Details streamer one is odd

haughty flicker
#

you have 3 gcds in subterfuge, for some people ambush with stay as the fourth but you cant actually cast it

#

so you have to spam so mutilate/ss goes off on the 4th

balmy condor
eternal heath
#

Oh gotcha

balmy condor
#

should pop up if you look up like gcd history

#

or whatever

eternal heath
#

Figure if I end up recording a run, that would be useful

simc doing mutilate instead of ambush inside the dance in the opener: intended or bug?

thorny onyx
#

How much should 2x timestrike daggers do?

thorny onyx
#

I have 1x hero 6/6 and one champion 4/8, but dang it does like 1.8% only

abstract jacinth
#

Anyone have issues with cancelling an order for with enchanted dreaming crest and now can't put in the crest anymore? It's defaulting to a shadowflame crest which I don't have

thorny onyx
#

I thought it was going to be a bit more atleast

balmy condor
#

yeh it's around 1% per dagger

#

sounds reasonable

#

1.8% is within the range you'd expect

thorny onyx
#

Alrighty!

tropic tundra
# balmy condor intended

Can please explain how? I thought there is nothing related to mut in ST compared to ambush, esp in pure ST cause ambush is just more damage with the same energy cost

balmy condor
loud dome
#

!plater

balmy condor
#

you'd have to increase the simulations base accuracy to determine the difference

#

cause like 30k fights isn't enough data

#

but it was shown to be slightly better

#

and so WHISPYR ADD PLS SIM WHY

#

be like that I guess idk

blazing jewel
#

POG POG POG

balmy condor
#

I don't know anyone who actually ends up mutilating in dance

#

but there ya go

#

sim dps is higher

tropic tundra
#

oh interesting, i never thought about the additional attack

heady drum
#

got 2k rating so now i have 3p..........

#

maybe 4p tomorrow.............

tropic tundra
#

join the 0p team

balmy condor
#

those periods really tell a story

heady drum
#

im not holding my breath

#

considering there's like 1 token drop per boss now after the changes

tropic tundra
#

but does the change include copied drops

#

ion is playing poker with our group

candid goblet
#

You guys are bing chilling

#

wait is there no way to cast Mutilate in Shadow Dance

left tulip
#

S2 4 set better than S3 2 set?......

tropic tundra
#

you can

candid goblet
#

I literally removed ambush from all bars and its still casting that

tropic tundra
oak tangle
#

aintnoway, who spreading misinformation

tropic tundra
#

the i-never-got-a-pi people

oak tangle
#

ambush only overwrites mutilate when blindside happens, not stealth

tropic tundra
#

yeah

#

or did he mean my question about mut in opener

#

idk

candid goblet
#

ah I might have gotten lucky with blindside then

#

yes I was testing Mut-only in SD

#

prompted by your question

oak tangle
#

i saw someone asking about a macro to replace mut in stealth, and it got passed off as pointless, but if you don't use stealth bars you could want it

vapid skiff
#

ye then its a thing

eternal heath
#

It wasn't for mut in stealth, it was mut in blindside

#

From earlier at least

candid goblet
#

huh, my average KB damage is higher with mut-only in SD

#

the pool size is 2 attempts

vapid sierra
#

when should i split dance from kb and vanish from dm in m+

#

how do i know if its generally worth it

oak tangle
#

do not take my words for fact, but i'd say when mobs are all roughly equal health and there is no real good kb target, you could use sd for bleed empowers

tropic tundra
#

i'm just using them mainly to spread dots unless theres a big main target, still in very low keys(~14)

wild beacon
#

When the key starts and it's an upper instead of the lower doti it was listed as dead

#

i don't get how bliz screwed the dungeon list up

#

all megadungeons before have been fine

tropic tundra
#

anyone experiencing that journal bug? mine just randomly swaps to other dungeon/raid if I click anything there

wild beacon
#

I need 2 of the things I can't afford to be anywhere else

#

i dunno i recall something like this before

#

like when i'm reading amidrassil and click smolderon, it becomes world boss page

oak tangle
#

yeah i have similar

pure sinew
#

does the execute portion of sudden demise actually do a lot of damge?

tropic tundra
#

for me yes

arctic tusk
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
tropic tundra
#

basically its stealing everyone else's damage vs dying mobs

candid goblet
#

so I'm testing KB against dummies, the damage is altering between 1 mil-2.4 mil (usually very close to 1 mil)

#

I'm only mutilating now in SD and vanish and it got up to 2 mil minimum

#

idk if its a coincidence

tropic tundra
earnest remnant
#

@balmy condor do i sacrifice my mental health for 1200dps to get a pair of legs from either Dawn, BRH, Waycrest or Atal

tropic tundra
#

might try it now

candid goblet
#

try it m8, this is interesting

earnest remnant
#

wont your gf miss it if i yoink it and sacrifice it to buddha?

humble ginkgo
#

wtf is that 200k sim bro

gilded oasis
#

raccoon do big dammo

balmy condor
#

stealthi's juiced

gilded oasis
#

also, always sacrifice the mental health for gains

#

only loot ive gotten are pieces that are tier

shy pecan
gilded oasis
#

and a dagger that isn't nick of time

candid goblet
#

I just realized I was constantly fucking up my MA window this whole time

#

its not 3 seconds starting from Vanish cast

#

its 3s after first ability used post-Vanish

#

this changes everything

tropic tundra
#

wait what

#

is it not both?

gilded oasis
#

p sure its while stealthed and 3 sec after breaking

tropic tundra
#

entering gives 3sec

candid goblet
#

yes it is both

tropic tundra
#

yes

candid goblet
#

but the latter part can matter

gilded oasis
#

were you just sitting in stealth chillin

tropic tundra
#

yeah i thought thats why we vanishing at the end of kb

candid goblet
#

say you casted Vanish at 3.8s left right

#

and because of GCD, your next ambush or gar or whatever got casted at 3.2-3.3

#

now its fucked

tropic tundra
#

uh

candid goblet
#

wrong numbers, updated it

#

now the last KB tick wouldn't fit MA

blazing jewel
#

shmeeps didnt drop my knife

#

buff that guy

gilded oasis
#

just vanish at the right time

candid goblet
#

yes but thats not the only thing that matters

#

the next ability usage timing matters too

#

he jinxed us both

but +1g over this bozo EZ

dark token
#

Do u have bomb dispenser

night summit
#

is there a macro to put on all 4 posions at once

candid goblet
#

I wish

gilded oasis
#

theres 2 of em

#

can uh make 2 different one for all 4 ez

bronze wagon
#

when should we use witherbark branch in the opener?

tropic tundra
#

mut inside dance actally working for me too SCwhattheheck

balmy condor
#

"working"

slim hamlet
#

i can feel my .1%

tropic tundra
#

or just me getting better in other stuff

#

idk i'm still so bad at ST

balmy condor
#

if a sim needs more than 35,000 fights

#

to determine which is better

#

the entire collective assassination community

#

will not be able to tell

candid goblet
#

but maybe thats because I fixed other things too

tropic tundra
#

maybe that bit bigger kb i just had was a very low chance

balmy condor
#

I mean yes

#

it's bigger kb

#

but you're losing damage

#

it's not a bigger KB for nothing

earnest remnant
#

trade offs

balmy condor
#

if it were a bigger KB for nothing then we wouldn't be having this debate

bleak eagle
#

just confirming ashes trinket near end of kb right?

tropic tundra
#

uh then why is sim opener doing that

haughty flicker
#

yeah but bigger number on my kb tracker

#

so worth

balmy condor
balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

huuuge

tropic tundra
#

so no prob going back to ambush

balmy condor
#

and you get that because your kb might be like 500 dps higher

deft vault
balmy condor
#

but you lose 425 dps from other things

balmy condor
deft vault

à9ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

haughty flicker

true friend

#

true

deft vault
#

oh lol my dog jumped on my desk while i went to the bathroom

candid goblet
#

One other problem though if you mutilate in stealth, the 2x Mut at the very start (the one before Envenom) can land you at 4 CP

#

and if you start KB with 4 cp env, It seems to lose uptime

spark scaffold
junior aurora
#

what if i use a different enchant on my weapon

balmy condor
spark scaffold
#

how come?

eternal heath
balmy condor
#

well the whole concept is that mutilate applies more poisons than ambush, so kingsbane stacks faster, right

bleak eagle
#

should i always stay above 50% engergy for sanguine blades?

haughty flicker
#

the value of 8 poisons over 4 is lower when you're already stacking faster with pi

balmy condor
#

if you have PI, it doesn't change the mut vs ambush math

#

but you are autoing faster

#

which is applying more poisons

#

meaning you'll hit the cap faster

#

meaning the difference from mut to ambush is less important

spark scaffold
#

i might be stupid, but what cap are you talking about?

#

are kingsbane stacks capped?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

caps at 99

#

or +1980%

royal lantern
#

actually didnt knew that

spark scaffold
#

its kinda not written anywhere ingame

balmy condor
#

yeah it's just spell data

#

wouldn't matter to anyone on the planet at any point in time

spark scaffold
#

that's good to know, and yeah it does make sense it would be worse with PI

balmy condor
#

except now that our tier gives attack speed

#

and we get PI

#

it's actually pretty reasonable that we cap out in lust

royal lantern
#

attackspeed like a jojo stand at this point

spark scaffold
#

mydas go brr

#

anyone have 20+ logs of a key i can use as a comparison, im having trouble in m+

in this sample it got close

#

sim it again

spark scaffold
balmy condor
#

there we go

#

that's a big cap

#

4 seconds worth of max stacks

spark scaffold
#

why did my sim just double garrote

balmy condor
#

it felt like it

doing damage

balmy condor
#

idk

#

probably some whack thing

#

I'm checking a bunch of stuff tonight

#

I'll add it to my list

slim hamlet
#

So Whispyr it's 5AM for me and I think I have a cook

balmy condor
#
  • fix that one gcd out of the 250 the sim casts
earnest remnant
#

Check this hypergrab

slim hamlet
#

Do you have the energy to look at my cook

stable atlas
#

sin seems to have so many nuances I miss being able to shuriken storm bp

balmy condor
#

if it's a thought out cook I always have energy

#

if it's braindead I'm banning you

haughty flicker
#

lmao

earnest remnant
slim hamlet
#

I think it's thought out depending on 1 thing, when you envenom,kb,shiv or whatever right

balmy condor
#

uh huh

slim hamlet
#

does the first second of the gcd it takes of using that ability tick down the buff/debuff

#

it does right?

balmy condor
#

what

slim hamlet
#

ehm

#

Like I use a 4cp envenom, does it last for 3 more gcds or 4

#

could also open wow and check quick

balmy condor
#

at time of cast you would get the buff for the duration listed, so if you cast a 4cp envenom at lets say 0:00.130

#

the buff would expire at 0:04.130

slim hamlet
#

yea ok

spark scaffold
#

do the kingsbane stacks show up in logs anywhere?

balmy condor
#

no

eternal heath
#

we poggin

haughty flicker
spark scaffold
#

fokman

haughty flicker
#

the cook is still on track

slim hamlet
#

So I think my cook is real

#

If we end up envenoming at 4cp on the opener, we would have 1 second without envenom in KB right?

balmy condor
#

correct

candid goblet
#

it shows in the WA I linked earlier, in % form though

#

@spark scaffold

thank you sir

Welcome to week 1

slim hamlet
#

Can you do this order instead (all the ambushes and envenoms are just whatever, what matters is the shivs and envenoms): DM-shiv-envenom-kb-ambush-garrote-envenom-bush-bush-shiv-envenom-bush-bush-envenom-bush-bush-envenom

stable atlas
#

sin stats are all so close

haughty flicker
slim hamlet
#

I was trying to figure out if u lost KB tick with shiv in that exact second it was off, but my head is not heading so I need to ask instead

manic haven
#

This man is cooking

slim hamlet
#

Should mean u never lose envenom uptime if not

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

I guess but what if u land on 4cp

#

then just another gcd I guess

balmy condor
#

you would generate

thorny pond
#

Unless you’re prorating your opener, why does it matter? Just send at 6

spark scaffold
slim hamlet
#

Yea alright, was just thinking if this actually fit it would save u that gcd and you would even have shiv for that envenom

balmy condor
#

it would also move kb 1 second out of deathmark

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

which like

#

might not matter

#

until you low roll and then need the extra second of poisons

remote glen
#

am i missign something with caustic splatter in dungeons? it feels like it does nothing

slim hamlet
#

Oh shit I was thinking about that before doing the whole thing, but then forgot to actually look at that

balmy condor
#

which the sims will DEFINITELY not like

balmy condor
#

kingsbane is the juice for caustic

oh does it spread kingsbane

frozen iris
#

Dumb question how would i use the cruel dreamcarver with a garrote macro? its in my offhand so should be /use item 17 correct?

candid goblet
#

wait why do we cast Shadow Dance before Kingsbane again? If SD expires first at 6s mark, then the KB tick that happens right after that won't benefit from MA

thorny pond
#

You can just not use it

candid goblet
#

or am I missing something

thorny pond
#

candid goblet
#

oh shit

#

I forgot about that one

#

or more like didn't even know

#

looks like i dont know how this item workls

balmy condor
#

you use it on something

#

!dagger

balmy condor
#

and depending what you use it on

#

you get the above buff

spark scaffold
#

would it not be better to vanish KB instead of dance, and dance at the end of deathmark / KB? or would this suck because it would keep delaying your CDs by 10 seconds every deathmark

balmy condor
#

typically dragonkin

spark scaffold
#

tbh on a fight like smolderon those 10 seconds would not really matter

balmy condor
north pond
#

at what point do i replace old 4 piece set? like should i hold for a while im just curious how many upgrades until taking off 4 piece

balmy condor
#

so it also fucks over dance+kb macros

#

and you'd have to do different rotation every minute/2 min

spark scaffold
#

yea, that's what i mean by delaying your CDs

balmy condor
#

for no tangible gain

#

which just

#

more complicated for no gain

#

sounds like a bad trade

outer cairn
spark scaffold
#

is it no gain though?

balmy condor

it is no gain though

@balmy condor ty king ❤️

eternal heath
#

Wondering if I should do the dreamsurge/time rift to get 450 S2 tier lol

balmy condor
#

if you don't have any tier

#

then you definitely should

#

having tier > not having tier

eternal heath
#

Yeah true

#

I just have a pair of tier shoulders from raid

candid goblet
#

that information changes if you are in possession of a Omni Token btw

#

then you should hold off until you actually have 4 set

balmy condor
#

what

eternal heath
#

I will have ksm next week, so I think I should be able to get 4p

balmy condor
#

how does having an omni token change the logic

eternal heath
#

But it is only friday, so probably worth doing the S2 stuff

#

I just gotta find where to do it. Never done that stuff

candid goblet
#

actually no, It only changes if you would get 2-set with Omni Token

eternal heath
#

Mostly time rifts, vaguely familiar with dreamsurge

candid goblet
#

if you already have 2-set without omni, should be fine

torn peak

is this proper damage profile for single target, dont look at the numbers i was wondering if the damage difference between my skills should be like that. Cause i realized i was missing vanish during last 3 seconds of kingsbane

oak tangle
#

is the sim's breakdown

balmy condor
#

that's not the sims breakdown

#

that's the damage per cast of each ability

oak tangle
#

i just read

fervent jasper
#

On ST my rotation (assuming everything is off CD) is Garrote>SnD>Garrote>Mut to 5 or 6C CP>Rupture>Deathmark>Kingsbane>Shiv>Mut to 5 or 6 CP>Envenom

oak tangle
#

yeah

fervent jasper

But I feel like I'm wrong

and i KNOW you guys will tell me if I am

just using dance to reapply garrotes

devout prism
#

you can watch steathi's stream VODs I think if you want to see assassination in 21s+

oak tangle
balmy condor
#

is simply a basic lack of understanding about what your abilities do

#

so the advice is read a guide

devout prism
torn peak
#

i need huge wall of text explaining how to utilize kingsbane and keep up damage on st

oak tangle
#

you should make one of the server requirements to be able to talk in the channel, be that they can answer a secret question where the answer is posted at the end of the wowhead guide

devout prism
#

or you can do something like open some top parses on WCL and look at the event timeline to see the order of what they're doing

fervent jasper
#

@balmy condor What if SD on on CD? then would you double garrote in the subterfuge window?

oak tangle
#

why would you be in a subterfuge window with sd on cd on single target?

fervent jasper
#

Because the boss was pulled <3s ago

balmy condor
#

you do not want to double garrote in single target

#

it's not worth the gcd

@balmy condor I just read your wowhead guide, is there any possible scenario I would use dance and kingsbane not together and is it possible to just macro them together?

balmy condor
#

macro them

half marten
#

cool thanks

balmy condor
#

just /cast shadow dance
/cast kingsbane

#

in that order

fervent jasper
#

it's safe to macro dance and KB?

balmy condor
#

yes

fervent jasper
#

After the opener do we just use each CD on CD?

oak tangle
#

define what you mean by CD

balmy condor
#

they line up

#

both 1 min cds

fervent jasper
#

Do you hold DM for vanish?

oak tangle
#

you shouldn't need to hold, and it's vanish after dm

#

I’m assuming next week it’s fine to max a nick of time to 483 with crests?

fervent jasper
#

which means DM will come back first

oak tangle
#

nope

i mean it will come back first, but the sequence and timings are identical so no need to hold

Hey guys, relatively new sin rogue, im wondering if someone could give me some advice. How do we best maximize kingsbane? I just did a m+ with another sin rogue who was exactly the same ilevel as me and his kingsbane damage was like twice mine. I'm doing my best to have shiv up through as much of it as possible but is there more to it than that? Should i be pumping envenoms during the duration? Ive been using that shadowdance window to also reapply garrote and rupture as well, should i save those globals for mut/envenom?

bitter birch
#

lmfao

outer cairn
#

just pin it

balmy condor
#

maintain envenom

outer cairn
#

!guide

bitter birch
#

perfect thank you

junior olive

damn so many builds..Arterial M+ build the one to go? i been using Hybrid

outer cairn
#

oh boi

outer cairn

gonna rile up soviet

strange python

What's the best non aug damage y'all doing overall? I just saw a 240k everbloom 😮

devout prism
#

but basically... they both work lol

dusk palm
#

do we never empowered rupture btw?

#

after the opener

upper spear
#

i like the AOE shiv build in M+, packs melt

outer cairn
#

i'm still working on being optimal, getting timings down etc. so if you're newish and still learning the dungeons, you'll get there once you know what the pulls are like

next token
#

maybe this is telling on myself but i have read whispyr's guide on wowhead and the IV guide. thanks @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

np

next token
#

just felt like i was missing something

balmy condor
#

telling on yourself in a positive way

#

reading is good

outer cairn
#

i've watched his videos

eternal heath
#

I need to use shiv more in keys

balmy condor
#

most don't get that far

outer cairn
#

#1 fan

eternal heath
#

I tend to only use it for kb

upper spear
#

if you run Arterial, youll be staring at it waiting to come off CD in M+

dusk palm
#

whispyr your sequence in your opener doesn't use empowered rupture a second time. does this mean that you wouldn't use it on any kingsbane minute cycle?

eternal heath
#

Yeah I am atm

bronze marsh
#

if mobs aren't gonna live long enough for a full kb but you'll have 2 shivs for the next time you need it sending one is alright

celest helm
#

life is good

bronze marsh
#

I haven't looked into it at all but is it correct to assume Arterial interacts with Sudden Demise?

eternal heath
#

god damn

balmy condor
outer cairn
#

hax

bronze marsh
#

boner

outer cairn
#

so third shiv near end of pack health to maybe help proc it?

bronze marsh
#

played all three specs while farming branch and sin by far has felt the most fun

dusk palm
outer cairn

because

you don't just hit one button and face roll

sin def feels fun I just gotta stop sandbagging

balmy condor
eternal heath
#

I did a bit better earlier

outer cairn
#

practice

eternal heath
#

Oh I know, just sucks going through the process lol

#

I had the same on my boomkin

outer cairn
#

also higher keys when mobs actually don't just fall over

#

lets you ramp

eternal heath
#

This was an 18BRH where I could at least do some damage

upper spear
#

its Fort week, just blow ur CDs whenever they're up (within reason) until you learn ur timings

eternal heath
#

Bats are just weird tho

past forum
#

My favorite part of the sin rework is that a lot of my pugs were completely oblivious to it and when they see my overall they Pikoh

eternal heath
#

Also havent done any real high keys either

junior aurora
#

no tott

#

based

keen spruce
#

it just gets better

#

the higher the keys get

eternal heath
#

Lol just havent gotten around to it

keen spruce
junior aurora
#

there is a miserable spot in the middle though

eternal heath
#

Done a good few +10-12 Falls

outer cairn
#

yeah. my team was like oh the aug helped you. then i did another key without an aug and had just as high overall

junior aurora
#

where things live just longer than the kingsbane window

outer cairn
#

so

oak tangle
#

always kb critters

junior aurora
#

but not long enough to resend cds

eternal heath
#

I feel like I am in the weird spot before that

#

Where, aside from big mobs, I feel like I can never toss kb

junior aurora
#

just send it anyway

eternal heath
#

And almost no boss lives for a second kb so my ST feels like ass

outer cairn
#

full send

junior aurora
#

keep it on cd through the dungeon

past forum
eternal heath
#

Bosses are like 1m45s so just in time for me to be low on energy and just not doing much

outer cairn
#

so run higher keys

eternal heath
#

I think because I have been seeing low damage in lower keys, that I have been hesitant to go to higher keys

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

damage doesn't even matter (to an extent) just do mechanics right

outer cairn
eternal heath
#

Yeah I gotta take a look at Sha's 1 min boss vids

#

Because I am unfamiliar with most of these dungeons

outer cairn
#

can't dps if you're dead

gilded oasis
#

can't dead if you're dps

shell lodge
#

is it worth sending rupture even if u got like 15 seconds left on it if ur in vanish ?

balmy condor
junior aurora
outer cairn
#

I can do him one better

balmy condor
#

you tell me a whore made this chata?

shell lodge
#

so basically only refresh rupture if it's like sub 10 sec?

outer cairn
#

If guns don't kill people, people kill people. Then toasters don't toast toast, toast toast toast?

balmy condor
devout prism
#

don't be afraid of higher keys, lower keys actually have another affix that the game doesn't tell you called "bad pugs" and if you do higher stuff this affix tends to solve itself, so everything goes smoother and you get to focus more on doing well

junior aurora
#

sometimes you proc the worst experience in a higher key though

gilded oasis
#

but high keys spook

junior aurora
#

and that is a bad pug in a high key

#

then its miserable

One thing I'm confused about is what is the priority between Caustic Spatter damage and mainating bleeds on off targets in AOE?

balmy condor

gg noob

outer cairn

oh dude

#

yeah

#

i've pugged

#

since season 1 of SL

#

its rouhg

#

rough

gilded oasis
#

Bleeds give more energy to keep you going

balmy condor
#

you want to be able to cast constantly

simple ore
#

I only pug when running my own keys at the start of season, because you get the gigachads who need your keys

#

ez 20s ez

outer cairn
#

I need me some gigachads

#

I'll be barbie

#

fuck it

gilded oasis
#

I think craigslist has those

fervent jasper
outer cairn
#

both

gilded oasis
#

why not both

oak tangle
#

pugging keys is painge because there is so few oce ones going

balmy condor
#

I mean in your situation they are

outer cairn
#

actually

#

its three

balmy condor
#

but bleeds are big damage

outer cairn
#

damage, energy, and fantasy

#

if you go cow rogue you can live in the 4th dimension

oak tangle
#

and im doomed to have azralon players invited into groups i get into

fervent jasper
#

Say a pack of 6 is pulled. I bleed everything and get a Caustic target. As long as I don't feel energy starved, I sould just keep tunneling the Caustic target even if the bleeds fall off?

balmy condor
#

like if the pack is dying in 30 seconds, your ruptures will carry that full duration to the end

#

so you just get the bleeds up

#

then funnel the caustic

#

and by the time you think about refreshing, the mobs are dead

simple ore
#

spin those plates

lucid rain
#

just got shown a really clean way to pull the portal room in galakrond

fervent jasper
outer cairn
#

refreshing bleeds in the chaos of your tank chain pulling shit all over the place. its really fun

lucid rain
#

if you wanna play it safe, you can pull each portal pack back to the stairs, and you pull the roaming dog solo as well as the big guy solo, also to the stairs

#

legit the most stress-free clear of that room I've seen so far

outer cairn
#

that room is toxic

lucid rain
#

sure is

#

this was +19, for reference

simple ore
#

worse in rise

outer cairn
#

#

that room makes rise the worst dungeon for me, I hate that part

outer cairn

especially

#

right when you cast kb

#

such an amazing feeling

upper spear
#

Just did heroic Gnarlroot. i ran the Arterial M+ build due to the adds, other rogue ran DTB w/ CT.

Our damage was really similar but his KB was insanely higher than mine. Im guessing this is probably mostly due to DTB?

What is the macro command for using trinkets again?

outer cairn
#

/use name of trinket

eternal heath
#

Oh easy enough

#

I thought there was a slot number to use

icy acorn
#

or /use 13 /use 14

simple ore
#

or /use 13 or 14

outer cairn
#

14 and 13

eternal heath
#

That is what I was thinking of

balmy condor
#

but yeh

simple ore
#

using that is easier since you don't have to keep replacing it

balmy condor
#

dtb will juice the kb

keen spruce
#

CT on gnarle?

#

those adds die in like 2 seconds

shut owl
#

caustic is all you need

lucid rain
#

is single target CT worth on iridikron when you're in the burn phase?

junior aurora
#

maybe they were the only 2 dps hitting adds shmeeps

lucid rain
#

even with all that excess energy huh?

simple ore
#

well you'd be wasting combo points on it instead of anything else

junior aurora
#

what does the excess energy mean for using CT

#

its just a gcd thing

shut owl
#

its not the energy its the CP

icy acorn
#

seeing the rings in black rook hold drop every single time but not for you is saddening FeelsWeird

simple ore
#

lots of energy doesn't suddenly make CT better single target damage

outer cairn
#

oh yeah

#

seeing both rings drop

#

and not getting either

#

sadge

lucid rain
#

a 6 point envenom does 35k for me, a 6 point ct does 139k

frigid dirge
#

is the old 2 set worth having if you have higher item level gear

shut owl
#

if your iridikron lives to the end of that CT you've died tho

outer cairn
#

over 16 seconds

oak tangle
#

but how many 6 point envenoms can you do before ct expires

simple ore
#

the burn phase doesn't last all of that time

fervent jasper
#

@balmy condor I noticed you have Ambush on your stealth bar in the same place as mut on your non stealth bar. I thought about doing this but thought it might get confusing in AoE when I may have to mut during dance to refresh caustic. Thoughts?

steel spire
#

After we open on trash and apply gar rupture we just caustic kb before fok ct?

oak tangle
#

also 35k seems omega sussy low

balmy condor
#

ambush refreshes

#

I just want to be included

outer cairn
#

double jinkx?

fervent jasper
#

Oh

#

ok

#

Awesome

shut owl
#

that CT vs envenom number seems... wrong

simple ore
#

it's not in CS's tooltip but it works just fine

balmy condor
shut owl
#

cuz 0% bonus damage CT is not a lot of damage lol

outer cairn
#

he's look at the tooltip number

lucid rain
#

^

eternal heath
#

kek double u

lucid rain
#

I guess I'm not factoring multipliers

#

mb

outer cairn
#

just envenom

#

Whispyr has spoken

shut owl
#

what multipliers? its single target that he's talking about

balmy condor
#

the sim clamps down on crimson tempest single target in 2 places even

simple ore
#

just logically speaking, regardless of your energy, if CT was actually worth more than 1 envenom on ST you'd be pressing CT on single target regardless of energy

balmy condor
#

cause it checks to make sure you're not in single target

#

and then also on top of that checks to make sure you have enough energy regen

#

which you simply can't reach in single target

#

so it's double making sure you're not using it in single target

#

it's real bad

lucid rain
#

the only reason I ask is because you're capped on energy in the burn phase

arctic tusk
#

do you ruptuer after 2 garrotes and then garrote again after

#

or just send 3 garrotes straight

lucid rain
#

it's a situation that never comes up otherwise

balmy condor
#

spam harder

arctic tusk
#

are you wrong for doing it? not necessairly

its technically not optimal

thorn crater
#

whenever i see double rogue on top of charts on a stream race i get nervous. and i havent played the game in a year, that feeling doesnt go away lmfao

simple ore
#

you get plenty of energy in lust too, but still don't CT on ST

shut owl
#

depends on the pull, usually I see 3 mobs then 3 mobs then 3 mobs, so I'll go gar/rup/gar/rup then into caustic or something
