i was about to say imma slap you on the bootie if you tell me its a 0.01% dps increase
Like legit 75
we do not run out of energy with this build vs bosses?
can anyone tell me?
you do, this aint outlaw
you run out of energy with every build
double on use is shit currently, since branch is perfect timing for your cooldowns
huh
the other trinket for you is useless
or well kinda
press it after your cooldowns
you always do
with the raid build it happens less frequent
but like
energy downtime is part of assa
So if I use it later, it won't increase any previously applied damage?
I'm trying to get the watch but no luck
yea this is not the buggy spec

it's a debuff you have to refresh
does losing SD for KB feel horrible or
no idea, i usually just send kb even if spreading bleeds a bit
So you don’t have to keep mutilating until you have to refresh
Hello Whispyr! Does the mastery gained after leaving dots increase its damage?
makes a lot of sense ty
i can use fan of knives
r?
everything is dynamic
Yea
Hey what is the best carve actually ?
you only have the damage during the buff
there is no best carve
it's a useless dagger
best carve is critter
i see
doesn't do shit
no point to carve
Is sub the play without pi
Thanks, I was desperate to use the dots at the time of the trinket.
in lower keys where a lot of trash dies fast, what do we spam for aoe? Just get Spatter up and FoK+Envenom?
yea
hit those shivs with SD and arterial precision
thanks whispyr
hope u proc fat SD to show up on damage meters
I don't really get SD, it doesn't always seem to happen
no
no
ok ty
if mob has 100 hp, you need 150 damage worth of bleeds combined on the target in order for it to pop
would you hold anything on gnarlroot or just send everything on cd?
except for intermission before amp
Send second KB off third will be up
whats the difference playstayle with 4 set?
group can delay intermission a little bit to make sure everyones 2 mins are back up
bc it does happen a little before
Pool
is there an internal cd on it though? Feel like sometimes mobs sit with super low health and 3 bleeds on them and nothing happens
there's an internal cooldown per target
typical blizzard fashion , they will nerf Tindrals hp by 20% for Liquid to have a full day to prog as
while EU can goo fuck themselves
hmm ok
cool
nobody cares

wtf
is champion trac 13s-16s?
9-16 i think
whats the point in spamming envenom in aoe if we already have caustic spatter up?
to keep envenom up
and 4pc
and it does more damage upfront then crimson tempest
so what else are you spending cp on
@balmy condor where did I see you quazi plater profile update?

not hard tbh
ct has no upfront dmg 
how do you open on smolderon when keeping dm for intermission? still do kingsbane?
technically correct statement though
do you use health bar colour changes, Whispyr?
Well noted
just said its not hard 😄
quazi plater so goated
yes
sweet
guide
caustic spatter spread kingsbane dmg?
yes
on smolderon do you wait for the orbs or do you slam kb on cd?
in the intermission
i normally wait until the boss is gonna have an immune phase
Do we refresh rupture with shadow dance as well as with the vanish at the end of KB? Or is it better to get another envenom in during that period?
then i hit my cds
guide
you can pick up orbs and then kb, shouldn't be an issue
lasts 20 seconds
damn the branch is so boring to play 😦
buff ashes
dont wanna use that shity stick anymore
after 1 raidnight

@slate crown thanks for wa btw
how important is 150 energy+
Promise simply tracking the buff itself is a very easy WA to make. I don't have a standalone one, it's baked into rupture for me because it's pertinent to rupture. You can make your own as a simple Trigger: Aura: Buff: Player: Scent of Blood, and make sure you have a text element that is %s which should be there by default (but is trivial to make). I like helping out a bunch by making auras but this one is simple enough to be an opportunity to learn how to use the tool 🙂
Without tier more important, with tier less important
okay tyvm
Guide says to refresh garrote and then go to envenom, but there’s a footnote about refreshing rupture too (and it being optional). Just trying to see what ppl are doing.
it truly be annoying, but i dont wanna use ashes since i never got it
thank you so much ^^ it worked
boop
you can probably refresh rupture in dance if you're on a high envenom duration
Okay
can I somehow macro mutilate to ambush while sd is up
You can, it’s just not relevant
Rupturing optimally versus just slamming an envenom is less than 100 dps
not even worth thinking about then lol
Is that true for both the shadow dance and vanish?
If so then yeah, not worth
Yes
So I usually play hekili is that doable for sin was t getting as good number as outlaw
Hekili is dogshit
yeha, dont crutch anymore
First thing I ask on coaching sessions is “do you use hekili” followed by “turn it off”
what does hekili get wrong with assass? i’ve never tried it
turn into a real boy
is there a macro to make my mutilate button cast ambushes while in shadow dance
Put it on your stealth bar
put ambush in the place of mutilate in your stealthbar...?
it doesnt change
Then use stance conditionals
I also use to play a shit ton of alts but I’ve narrowed down to three classes
Hey, do i ever use rupture in stealth/stealthwindow? or do i always use garrote in stealth/stealthwindow
In aoe yes
out of curiosity, what's the difference in damage if you never use ambush apart from blindside?
so i cant bind rupture/garrote on the same keybind?
that sounds like a bad idea
okay thank you very much
ok so im gonna try my first key as assa. Basic stuff is keep scent on 20 stacks and rupture/garrote as much adds as i can while keeping caustic up and spamming envenom inbetween?
How are you guys finding assassination in keys? Is it fun to play? How’s the damage? Thinking about swapping away from outlaw
and i send with mark + shiv + dance + kingsbane then improved garrote and envenom spam
right ?
Like 250 dps
don’t forget to CT (i forget all the time)
First time trying it this season, it's fun. Feels more fluent than sub and combat
its time
ty
damn assa is sick for fyrakk
nymussy
absolutely demolished my side's add
I’ll give it a shot. I wish outlaw/sin didn’t have such different weight stats. I usually hate tab targeting/applying dots so not sure if I’ll find it fun but willing to try
Mythic seems kinda free
volcross is almost 0 changes
like
dmg higher
and the circles turn into soaks at the end
thats it
For if there’s 10+ mobs in a m+, what’s the ideal way/timeframe to apply your bleeds before going into the shiv/SD/KB caustic splatter
smolderon is defintion of waytoodank
rotation says 3 garrotes in the beginning
for 7+ mobs
so basically just an extra garrote and an extra fan of knives + rupture
which piece of set we dont equip?
am i crazy or do am i not getting alacrity stacks every finisher
am i doin somethin wrong lmao
Helmet?
Do we always use SD with KB in M+ aoe?
ig legs
look at the number values, it's no longer a 100% chance
For embellishments are we using the boots with the decay patch? M+ focused
This is a breakdown of the +17 Everbloom I ran, I'm still trying to learn to play Sin, how does this look, i know this is prob not correct at all, but I want to improve.
yes
Thank you.
I find myself wondering if I should spend Dance+KB or not cuz it wont be up for next pull and then that pull i have no aoe.. almost so im not sure
!up
I ended with 131k
so theres def something I can imrpove on, and im just not sure what
!dummy

what talents are you running
your bleeds are way low and i dont see sudden demise there
@junior aurora this is what build i have for M+
CT?
are you sure you werent in st spec for that dungeon
whats the best time to receive pi? just after deathmark?
i dont see sudden demise or crimson tempest on ur details
you could have told me it was a raid bossfight and i would have believed you
thats from +17 Everbloom
press CT more than once, will benefit you in the long run
Your garrote damage seems super low too. That should be top damage no?
yeah i know its terribad, ive been playing Sin for less then a day, and trying to learn it, read the WoWhead Guide
I prob need to read it more and burn it into my head and be able to apply it properly/better
Just take these reactions as you need to focus on bleeds more during trash esp CT
@balmy condor what's the reasoning behind AP and DTB builds? Just trash vs boss prio?
I'm seeing a split in top keys
Anyone has a weakaura to track empowered (stealthed) rupture/garrote uptimes?

^Most of these packs have them, if you want standalone empowered trackers you can look at LE's Profile, I have standalone versions for Rupture and Garrote in there.
Oh didn't see the guide just looked at top logs. Ty
perfect, thank you very much
Ok I'm cleaning some stuff up now, I have yet to see the Leeching bug return
So, going to just remove from my pack and private the standalone aura
They fixed it
Well, I know they said they did but it was a bug in the first place, i.e. it was unintentional
I was just paranoid it would come back is all
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
But it's been a week, I'm good with that, i'm not deleting the aura, just privating it and removing from the pack
Heyo, quick question. Any advice how to eliminate losing too much energy in st? I got full in opener all the time but after mark into dance/bane I always start too much energy
Yes, you pool and don't use it all right away
do i use witherbark on cd with deathmark or do i use it a few seconds before hand to get mastery to line up ?
You will not be able to maintain every GCD usage, this is part of the spec, if you haven't seen it, info for your downtimes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG0zGACDAuY

Thanks!
You should use it with deathmark, most do. Then you want to gather the orbs staggered slightly so the mastery buff lasts through kingsbane/DM
much appreciated
Get me outta here
holy
He just like me fr
we did it reddit
why tf can i not use 2 dreamcarver
Because they’re unique
what kind of bs is that
where is this guy nowadays? he wasnt messing around
Who was that guy?
Oh, that looks like a current screenshot.
From way back then.
Not a new one with the screen name reverted.
no its from 2017 or something, never really got to know him as he pushed ppl away. as you can see 😄
does galakrond dagger have the same drop% as other items? I cant see this shit anymore
It should do yeah.
do we need a seperate keybinds for mutilate and ambush to make sure we can keep spatter up or did they change that to trigger on both?
How many runs you on? xD
Nope.
boffum
Just smash what ever button Mut is on.
Like 25 or 30. stoppend counting
that is so nice
One moře question. Do we use envenom during envenom on target without t31?
Took me 40 something to get tusks from UR last tier. Got the first around run 35 and the second like 42 or somewhere like that.
Including a bunch of runs where guildies started feeling bad for me and organised trading groups.
It sucks but it can happen.
Ye maths and shit
I got a 460 Nick of time do i insta upgrade that shit to max that i can?
had to tell my dh tank how to do the dungeon and then he got glaives with avoidance
like wtf

sowwie
I have one on Champion yeah. Just means I have to farm 2 more on Hero.
Then pray for one on Myth.
Sounds like hell
Did my first key as Assass hoo boy did I suck - feels so weird compared to Sub
the thing that annoys me the most is that every second key is Rise
off-topic but is there a weakaura that auto-marks someone if they start a summon?
stones are crowded af
Not that I'm aware of but you can drop world markers even if you're not a group lead.
So I normally just whack one down on my head.
Yeah that also works.
yo boys, are bleed snap shotted or adaptive?
Cruel Dreamcarver, what does the use do ?
Adaptive. There is only one exception which is the Nightstalker talent effect

got 3 signet drops out of 4 drops on hc smolderon kill
whispyr why is dreamcarve dagger listed as best dagger from raid when it lowers stats by 10? \
Is the best buff to get the giant one? With 2% stam?

there is no best buff
it's all flavor
i chose the mechanical buff
none of it has any impact
oh is that where the -10 comes from
i just use the leech one
Sophic simming better than wafting is ok/normal?
I know, none has impact, but 2% stam means a bit more HP
giant one is bis with male tauren though
Yes, it can sim either way, go for what the robot says for you and remember it may change as you change your gear more later
Yeah
why did no one play this spec before 10.2
I'm pretty sure ppl played it
random shit pugs say
"rogue can you go outlaw, we need BL"
"what has that too do with otlaw huh?"
-you have been removed from the group

and that shit is ALWAYS the tanks lol
what happend this patch with tanks
they all are even dumber then ussual
I know the end answer is prob sim , but asking just incase. Now that I got branch I'm assuming I have to drop Bomb Disp. since it would stop it from lining up. Beacon still worth using since the timer lines up with the CD anyways or better to grab a new 450 Timeway trinket.
I played it both raid and m+
CE and 2.8k rio
@balmy condor these trinkets good
You the man like always
Entire raid can be played with the same build, just swapping Internal Bleeding with Spatter?
That's what I want and like
Hahaha
20 everbloom no trinket still fuck that game
29 runs and counting of DOTI
How do we 'feel' on Fyrakk Normal/HC?
I@have 6 Dotis done lol
Fyrakk feels okay tbh
That's imp, I forced assa on Sark and it didnt feel great imo
too make another shit council fight
that is somehow even worse then the last one
yet again
Lmao
Dude that fight is horrid
I just said fuck it and tunnled pip the entire fight
😄
Fuck logs, i just want it over with
is augury undersimming i saw some bugfix stuff discussion about it in outlaw
Does not affect us i guess 😮
nice

is it okay to macro shadow dance and kingsbane together?
yes
Make sure not to hit your macro during a gcd tho
Else you check for your kb timer to use shiv and feel like an idiot realizing you only popped sd
Haha yep, that is the only concern
is there a document or website that shows what abilities are cloakable/evasionable in s3/amirdrassil?
no
What do you guys think would be the easiest 16 keys next week?
^
Everbloom council boss and mage boss gonna suck
Mostly a m+ question.. tab dotting is probably my most hated gameplay in wow, and the indiscriminate carnage change is nice, but realistically how much am I gimping myself by only relying on that and not manually tabbing ruptures and garrotes?
I'd be shocked if half the bosses in this pool don't get nerfed by 30% by Thursday
does it feel like bosses currently have tyrannical applied to them?
they hit stupidly hard on fortified
on 6t and 8t+ pulls ur gimping urself by -1 and -2 targets respectively
man
with sanguine blades shoude i try and always have +50% enegry?

🔪
brh too
cause timer is free af
last boss shadowbolt volley kinda spooky
but should be fine w/ more gear
right is 10x easier
I will keep this in mind as I continue my journey for a cloak and neck
aren't they the same paths
No. During cooldowns you do not pool and you spend aggressively.
Outside of cooldowns, if you do not have the new tier set, you can try to stay above 50% energy for some slight gains, but this no longer becomes a concern once you have the new set 4p. Once you do you are essentially ignoring Sanguine Blades as a mechanic and just benefit from it passively.
Yeah, you're damned if you do damned if you don't. No tea feels really bad, though
where can i still get shadowflame aspect crests ?
so what's the benefit of the arterial shock build over the standard one? Is it just more consistent ST dmg comparatively?
I'm coming back to the came after a multi year break. Tried watching a couple streams but no addons look familiar to me anymore. I downloaded plater plus elvui but it seems like rogue WA's are causing a bunch of issues with it
is that the most common setup nowadays?
!dagger
default ui enjoyer <-----
Weakauras is essentially universal. Plater is also extremely common. Elvui is also common but it isn't as common as the other two, and when using Elvui and Plater Plater replaces ElvUI's nameplates. I don't know that there's a lot of issues between those though. Personally I don't use Elvui but I do use plater and weakauras
I use all 3
Thanks, appreciate it. Guess I'll just need to figure out what is causing the error
and rogue WA
make sure you have nameplates disabled in elvui
if you want to take advantage of plater
should i go for no dance raid build before set
No
I mean, you can if you want but there's not really a set vs no set build difference
Dance build is so hard to pop off
Hey guys new to rogue… playing assi…any good recommendations on videos to watch or someone here might able to explain the rotation better my ilvl is 439 and my dps I dodoo like 50-60k around 100k on burst
If you want to do a non-dance build, decision shouldn't be based on set or no set, if you prefer no-dance that's fine.
I hear this guy is pretty smart and cool and makes videos and guides https://www.youtube.com/@whispyr5793

Can aswell watch zerocool for some gameplay if whispyrs stream times arent fine with your schedule and you wanna watch smth live
yeah recommending the no tea build as alternative should be warcrime
isn't zerocool the one that does things backwards just happens to get results
is it okay to macro DM and SD together? and I should always match my DM with SD I assume, is that true?🤧 🙏🏼
Not DM and SD
If you want a macro, you do SD and KB together
He had some hot things going, but iirc things got sorted out.
Just put them all in
ya I need the fleeting one
from the raid cauldron
I need my macro to prio cast the cauldron one and if i dont have any just use the t3 ones i have in my bag
would it work if i have both pots back to back in my macro? 
yesyes
exactly how i have it
can u link me the t3 fleeting pot id?
you dont need ID it uses t3 > t2 by default
Ok
I can just put /cast Fleeting elemental potion of ultimate power and it should work ig
I have all of them in
Just descending quality
So it uses the best ones first
And fleeting over normal

some of us strafed into the breath
and died
ok?
i cant udnerstand how u do 100k with no set no daggers at 449
Pressbuttons really hard

yeah doing damage as sin rogue with no daggers seem pretty hard

You can prob do 100k as outlaw with no sword
hey! trying to learn assassination for obvious reasons. im trying to understand the "sample ability log" from the simulation from fuu's spreadsheet (this one: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/2VpgGgkBVXXspmvs8MMUW5)
my current question is about the ambush/mute usage. it isn't very clear when you're supposed to use mute over ambush or vice versa. what exactly is the logic between picking one over the other?

Should i always save dance and kingsbane with deathmark?
All dungeon drops have the exact same chance. Throne has 8 items, so you have a 1/8 chance to drop it
Assuming you get the 2/5 roll that you're one of the guys that gets to loot
Did not know it was fixed, ty
Raid is a bit different, but for m+ dungeons thats the case

Oh ok yeah every other dance is with dm basically
Ty
On huge pulls after you garrote and rupture a few adds, do you crimson tempest first or do you envenom?
Get burst rolling, then CT
Whats the reason that ct goes at the end?
Oh so i should spread garrote and rupture then instantly go into dm dance kb
Improved garrote spread
Then mut envenom
Yesm
Ok so why does the rotation on wowhead say i should mut envenom once before going into dance?
increased poison application during kingsbane
Because you want mut envenom up before dance
Ah
More poison application during kingsbane
yes
Yea
Oh good
Ambush is legit just better mut
Idk assa’s way too broken right now
I believe with the right hands it blows both sub and outlaw in keys
It does pretty well, once tier pieces are acquired and ilvls normalize outlaw will pull ahead
But only slightly
We talking ST or did you mean m+?
M+
Oh
most of the people playing outlaw 😄
St remains assa’s domain?
Sin in ST is cracked lol
I played outlaw myself
But its way too rng
And i fucking hated that
You can either blast a full dungeon
Same I hate outlaw literally
Or do nothing at all
And once you get bad rolls on huge pulls
Thats where it feels really shit
Because you cant recover anymore
Esp against havoc or bm
btw any 17+ everbloom ? 22+ run still no trinket
I love sin, I haven’t played rogue in a while due to sin not being great In keys
hi how i request a log review pls 🙂 ?
This season my character name is Drakkz, if you see me around say hi lol
Sim yoself brethren
the method guide and icy veins guide have slightly different openers regarding slice and rupture timing. Do people lean one way vs the other?
me after running 10 black rook holds back to back
both
when do you use the branch trinket?
I got sick of everbloom literally I got every drop 2x expect trinket fucking game
Me getting murozonds rise 12 keys in a row 😦
I enjoyed logging out
22 everbloom here 12 fall everything perfect :))
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
@lethal widget thanks man
i need it
after a day of no loot at all
Got crab trinket, mydas hero, nick of time hero, raid dagger with effect hero. Am i lucky so far?
I timed it on 20 but the 22 and 21 went very poorly lol
No tier pieces tho
dont worry lads, the loot will drop in vault on week 10 
yeah, cause of that u can get rid of 2 old piece tier and get higher ilvl/stats no tier
I would sim it but I’m pretty sure we wear 2p/2p
welp, i have one piece only, not a problem for todays vibe, futures vibe will deal with it haha
Is there any trick to knowing which target has no rupture/garrote on my nameplates?
Like some sort of addon that glows his nameplate or something
Whispyr has a good plater profile
I keep tab targetting like crazy
Lemme see if I can find it
Dont bother yourself i dont use plater sadly
How much haste are you all running? Less than 20%?

Just came back to the game and leveled a rogue, how should I gear? Is crafted shit still important?
I remember some neck bs back when the exp started
Lariat or something
Boots
For Smolderon I see two general patterns, use all CDs on CD, or hold the 2nd deathmark for damage amp
Any thoughts on preferences there?
is it toxic thorn?
Yea
i guess if you dont lose a KB by doing so its fine
even if you do i guess i would be pretty close, you should check what is done by top 100 players on wow anaylzer
depends on group dps imo
if it basically dies during third dmg amp hold second mark
I would be against holding if that make u lose a KB danse return
But imo its very close
damage amp is crazy on this one
i just finished hc smolderon tonight and i used kb on pull and saved deathmark for 1st intermission
but we also lusted 1st intermission
so was kinda forced i guess
yeah if fight is less than 6min its better to do this i think
and yeah ofc with lust

hey team, i now want to learn assa, is there kind of a faq like for the other specs? i really start from zero knowledge. outlaw and sub working fine and now want to learn the last spec
Third should be during the end of the fight I think
Idn anecdotally I just did a pull where I just went all on CD every time, and did better
yeah i kind of think thats just the play
throw stuff on cd and you get the big execute dm on the last vuln

Anyone using smolderons trinket? Is that shit sim bait or does it actually feel good to use.

cheers. the 1/1/7 makes sense. What about kingsbane? Do I delay casting it because of the snapshot?
but let's say i macro it to deathmark - normally you'd kingsbane straight after right? would i wait until i pick up two orbs now?
*shadow dance - kingsbane
Oh Quazii is posting raid guides too?
gzgz
how are we supposed to see these spheres mid-combat when i play zoomed all the way out

this is all we have left
whats the macro for branch and mark again
Yeah the signet brand has been good for me on ST. Kinda ass in m+ though.
It's a passive trinkets that doesn't give stats, so it doesn't really feel anything one way or another.
Id use sandglass over Signet all day
#showtooltip deathmark
/use 14
/cast deathmark
isn't it just this? i'm still not sure how to use it though. Whether i instantly kingsbane or wait until i get the orbs
Is the spec hard to someone never played rogue?
ty
Tindral = spatter + accelerated opener?
how do you get your shadow priest to delay their opener a couple sec to get Pi timings to line up better? im getting cursed spriest PI's in raids...
Do you have extra pop tarts
back to everbloom prison
its normally pretty close
they delay like 5s before sending it
If you can memorize an opener that’s as complex as the inputs get. It’s a very “slow” paced spec
I ran my own everbloom key again and someone else got it
just loot or?
This might be a stupid question but do I need two separate keybinds for Ambush and Mutilate for the opener to work (Garrote -> Ambush -> Rupture -> Mutilate)? I feel like I have to press the Ambush/Mutilate button two times for the 4th GCD when coming out of stealth (perhaps because of stance delay)?
Two separate keybinds helps, but there are a few of us here that notice it (and many others don't notice it).
I just have two separate binds personally
Could be spellqeuewindow?
is it possible to sim branch when all get collected at same time
I have ambush on 2 binds. But mutilate changes to ambush for me
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/6qsGQNTU7bR7AAAEnViZ9C when I run a droptimizer with this build, Branch trinket replaces Bandolier, and not Ashes
is raidbots trying to make me run double 2 min trinkets?
They're talking about during stealth, the bar swap during subterfuge
!dagger
2p2p
anyone got a vod of hc larodar kill
listen here raccoon guy
this a single target build or multi
What is spellqueue window ? I see a lot of ppl talking about this here, never heard of it during previous patch, has something changed ?
Hi, this is probably a very dumb question, but why do we use finishers at 4+ and not 5+ (=max cp-1) except for the envenom during the opener? Or it just became a thing for assa in s3? (have not played assa in df at all, trying to learn it now)
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
well I don't have seperate builds yet
just using what I got
just wondering cuz it simed 20k higher then my m+ build lol
what is raidbots doing
Branch only +500 better than Ashes?
was there a shadow nerf or something
Helllo there can i put my log here like last season
And someone help me if im doing something wrong with my min max ?
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

No thats the case
It's only 0.9% for me and I got 2pc which I would expect to make branch better
I think it had to do with Seal Fate/overcapping CP. sending on 4 vs. 5+ is supposedly a convenience thing more than optimization. if you opt to not do it, it's not trollin'
in m+ we save 2 charges of shiv for kb or just keep one?
keep two for kb if you can help it, like in the st rotation
When do i use ashes?
Time to pug heroic and hopefully not single digit parse lmao
By not holding KB, i got a 2-2.5m KB + 1m KB
by holding i got a 5m KB
Personally i prefer holding.
You can do it this way:
- on pull
- in intermission
- hold for intermission.
- hold for intermission.
Smolderon timings are ~70 seconds and then roughly every 100 seconds
you miss a KB cast, but they will be stronger
cool, ty both
So 70, 170, 270 and 370
Why is my st kingsbane outside of raid on average just 1.3m? O.o are on use do busted to push ot?
by next week i should be on smolderon

nymussy dies tuesday
then deer dude shortly after reset
and then its time for the sub gameplay
I wish i knew that info before today. i just spent smolderon today trying to figure out the best timings.
so had bad performance 
Even if I play sub I'll still hate dust 
I also don't understand how to do Lerodar or what's his name.
i tried the accelerated opener (no rupture)
but the adds still die too fast and i do bad on pull.
i appreciate you bequeathing it. my guild raids sunday/monday nights, so i'll apply what i've learned in your honor 
Do I have to give ambush its own bind, or does mut change to ambush on proc and you mut from stealth?
It changes to ambush on proc now
Ok but that only answers half my question
the answer is: you need to have ambush on the stealth bar.
blinside procs automatically change mut to ambush.
Wat
Ok thanks

This is only KB timings right?
yes
I am guessing u can do 2 DM's in 2 intermissions if u hold on pull right?
I'm ngl for smoldy I ignore the damage amp bc it sucks ass anyways
1 being in execute
what do you mean hold on pull
not using DM on pull
It lasts less than half of CDs so I just send coolies
i use dM on pull
100% dmg amp is not suck ass?
and still get on 2 intermissions?
no, just one
100% damage amp is good, 100% damage amp for 7 seconds by the time you start hitting the boss is awful
There is just no way I use on pull when there is a 50% chance I just can't hit boss
maybe it's worth holding.
Ashes is like 4 seconds into DM?
thing is, litteraly no one held DM on pull
3 seconds in
anything definitive about the dps difference in M+ between AP build and DTB build
Yea I guess just seems wack
I guess it depends when u bloodlust
seems kidna 50/50 when people use it
kb pull
dm + kb + pi on 1:10
kb on 2:50
dm + kb + pi on 4:30
kb on 6:10
dm + pi 6:30
fuck smolderon yep
11 sec left on KB
but you are right, that technically, holding will allow two DMs in phase 2, so worth trying
Crisp
TY
But yea smolderon felt a lot more wack than I expected
We only did a couple of pulls tbf, but we gaming tomorrow again

fuck boss
smolderon good, smolderon timing succ
Can always just play sub and have all cooldowns for every dmg phase 
instructions unclear
I hate having to move out with circles
succ'd boss

muh uptime
i make other people move for me
why do that when can hold 1 min cd for 40 seconds
I will when mythic
Yea but I am not cringe 
i do 30% more dps than the rest of my raid, I'm not losing my uptime when my dps is factually more important 
Unless dmg is actually seriously needed, I just do mechanics > trying to minmax in progression
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I do mechanics, we have melee stand closer to boss
God forbid playing the game correctly
its not like im like murdering people, just making ranged run out where they belong
Do you hold anything for gnarlroot?
because none of my KBs aligned with adds. and i used on CD.
okay that
that is cringe
(not real numbers but u get the point)
no thats fair
We are A LOT of melee
have i missed anything, the assa 4p now says it does 30% extra damage vs 1 single target in game. didn't see this in any notes or pins, the guides still have it at 150%
ours is pretty evenly split if not ranged heavy
I was playing powerpoint simulator on lordaron or whatever his name is
With big heroic group
Can't wait to get to mythic
idk the raid's a banger, probs my only complaint is that council is council and volcaross is a target dummy
but target dummy at least lets me crank
Either tomorrow or wednesday 
hoping my team doesn't troll and we get aotc tomorrow so we can at least do gnarlroot mythic
The only fight I dislike is council and it's more because 50% of my raid didn't look at anything before
volcoross atleast has a nice flow to it
its one of the better target dummy bosses for sure
on mythic that is
like definitely better than magmorax
I can't wait for mythic taylor swift
that fight looks SO FUN
Can't wait for mythic only phase 
fyrakk gonna be way better than sark
i liked the fight but i think it is aggressively mid
First endgame boss I actually progressed on mythic and I hated it
Sark was aite
Well I didn't hate it
Sark wouldve gone so hard if we had 10.2 assa
But it was just really heavily whatever
FACTS
Absolute banger spec for that boss
progged sark as sub which was mid
then when assa got some buffs went assa
was still mid
You'd get a 50% hasted kingsbane cleaving on the first set of adds absolutely destroying them
But ye like stealth said sark was an okay fight.
I couldn't even be asked joining reclear night to get CE
wasn't there when we got it
there's not a lot of modern raid fights i actually dislike
i actually really like zskarn lol
People were waxing lyrical about Sark for monthssss, had nothing but praise
pre nerf the rng was a little cringe
but idk zskarn was cool
echo was a sick fight, if the weakaura thing didn't exist would definitely be like top 10 fights
The only sus in terms of "will I have fun in mythic prog here" on amirdrassil is council and nymue, councils only redeeming factor is that it's easy
the weakaura shit was TURBO cringe
Nymue is not bad either, but idk if I'll enjoy
Nymue is fine on mythic
Ras mythic was a stinker of an end game fight, actually worse than the heroic version
council was horrible
We had to do like 4-5 pulls on nymue heroic because we were huge heroic raid with 75% melee and ranged couldn't soak it all
Had to go out of melee to help soak

what if kingsbane is delete
if kingsbane is delete we lose 20% of damblage
how would i recover
what's happening to you do you smell toast
honestly though where do you even find the damage to compare in the talent tree lol
we both know it aint vicious venoms

TTK 

I did all dungeons ++ in 20
New tech
I mean 3 of them
And rest just +
Without tier set
++'ing a 20 rise is gaming for sure
Easy season
We broke it
huh
Not able to so RISE in time
Got a cleanly tiemd 20 throne earlier
Do
Very happy about that
Same
Went from hating that dungeon to kinda liking it with that one
A group that knows whats going on helps so fucking much
Prove yourself and....... RISE
We had an absolute gamer tank with hidden tech
hidden tech??
Throne isnt as bad as people say
throne isn't bad if your tank can do the hallway
It's not standard
The big bois Sentinels crushing depths that completely fucks u up
