I'm dreading every day we're apart

yeah but idk I checked a few logs and the damage seems pretty consistent
So i got branch the other day and i dont really know how to use it properly
*logs
guys, in AOE, do we keep casting FoK during kingsbane in 4+ target situation or is casting mutilate better due to caustic splatter?
i press mut just to keep spatter up, but idk if that's correct lol
use FoK as a builder in 3+ and you just make sure you mutilate/ambush to keep up spatter on the prio tar
mut is just to refresh spatter, spatter deals dmg with envenom not mut
like mut - fok - mut again when it's gonna fall off
got ya
does the 4p proc deals more damage if you envenom at higher cps?
do you guys play the full aoe build this week to or did you switch to hybrid
For 2nd kingsbane, do we always envenom first, or is it only when we're 4+ cp then?
how does the tooltip for IB compare to how much it actually does
Trash in anything less than a 17 feels like utter ass :/
Swap Iron wire > Venom rush maybe?
m+ without iron wire, are you mad
Do I take Arterial Precision of bleed build for this week m+
Isnt the legs pretty good? like do we opt out from legs in the new tier right?
Is it possible that some damage is not being correctly attributed to evokers? Some of our dam, caustic spatter etc isn't shifting whatsoever when switching between augmented and non
fine, swap dtb to venom rush...
Maybe you could try AP build
So starved in what situation in m+ though?
Just garrote more bud
Uh, hmm…
Kk
+5 ruptures out?
No maybe not
I don’t have the issue 😂
How much % does 4pc increase dps? Can’t find on wowhead or pin
Theres your issue there, more garrotes and ruptures is your dosage.
Dot uptime is key ultimately
You can sim it using raidbots.
But uhhh, lemme check.

Aoe or st?
St
K
does it sound propper that i am simming 150k dps ST with 455 gear? kinda feel this is low
i hope that's not considered low, unless you got 4 pc etc
Guys is it worth to play 2+2 tier sets?
And do you want from 2 pc -> 4pc or just nothin to 4 pc?
otherwise my 461 ass needs to step it up
Yep, wowhead says so anyways
@coral sierra
Nothing to 4pc
K
Thank you!
i doubt my sims will rise 20k with 5 ilvl more
i have 2 pc 2pc, and a 476 dagger
Do you guys fold your TP or crumple it up
same 2x 2p and 476 dagger
Fold
witherbark and sandglass trinkets here
Somethin like 13.5%?
ah ok i got from last addon kinda xD
Thanks Frost!
Np!
Are there any reason why its bad to macro dance+kingsbane to one button?
nope
kingsbane is on cd so make sure that you dont press the macro in gcd window
I have so much vers 😭
Any 220k simmers in chat
I spam it a couple times to make sure
even if you do, just press it again and it will still cast kb
Spatter and sanguine iirc
I wonder if anyone can answer this oddly specific question.
For bosses in keys that are between 1 and 2 minutes, is it a) better to hold dm for the second kb window
and b) if a is true, would you still hold it if lust is sent on pull
do we use CT in ST?
No
Ur not using DM without KB for any reason at all
I know it's better to sim etc but in general what would be the best stats to put on the wrists crafted?
Unless its like the last boss of the key and hes really low and u can get a full DM off if u dont wait for KB
that's not what i'm asking
Mastery and crit or haste
Some combo of those 3 yeah
Then what exactly are you asking
What's the current stance on the 3 globals you should press post vanish?
Branch craters mastery so it could be crit haste but mastery seems safe
As long as one of them is an envenom and the other is a garrote id say ur good
in a 1-2 min fight, you get a second kb window, if you hold dm for the second kb, you have it in execute
We’re talking margin riffs
A few days ago i was told garrote ambush rupture (adaptable depending on cds going into it ofc), is that no longer the case? was that the case cause of not having current 4pc?
If you use it on pull youll have it ready for the pack after, which is better in almost all cases anyway
In my head with 4pc the ideal world would be vanish envenom garrote envenom right
to fully benefit from the previous shiv
but this is my head
not robot
robot smarter than me
Rupture or envenom
I prefer to snapshot my rupture during dance. But u can envenom twice during dance and snapshot rupture after vanish
Doesnt matter
Yeah basically what eleem said
yea im trying to figure out which one is ideal
It doesnt matter
I was doing snapshotting rupture during vanish
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
fair, i guess i wasn't considering so much for the next pull. but say for final boss of a dungeon
but with the new 4pc envenoming in vanish seems way juicier
There are times on heroic bosses where ive held DM on my third kingsbane cuz the boss was at like 45% then sent DM with my fourth one when the boss is sub 35
4pc isnt affected by nightstalker so it has no effect
Yeah for final boss of a dungeon its probably worth
it does though
because you have your shiv active
when you vanish
so thats one more envenom with increased crit that you can get in your shiv
and the follow up, was does lust being sent on pull change that
The difference in sims is like 5 dps, so if you sim it again youll get the opposite result
It literally doesnt matter
My friend i have pestered whispyr with so many nitpicky questions like this and have been told ‘it doesnt matter’ every time. It genuinely doesnt matter LOL
hahahha fair enough
Only thing would be if you have aug buffs (aka breath)
Yeah id say it does.
Then envenom would be very slightly better
thank you 🙂
if you want to nitpick that hard i'd say just write the apl difference and sim it
if its significant then use the change
I just stopped using abilities
Too confusing
but granular differences of "envenom with 4p in the 3s vanish window instead of rupture is .1% better" is 
Is assasin in 10.2 fast paced?
Was asking about snapshotting CT instead of an IC rupture in aoe and at what target count would that be a difference.
N O
It’s spinning plates not fast paced
The opener is satisfying
i'd say no, but there is precision needed with gcd's at times to keep buffs rolling
I agree with the village idiot

Do opener > go for a coffee break > kingsbane window > another break > slam deathmark
I am having problems with my wirst, tendonitis, got it by making classes, however, I was a paladin player, but it is too fast and sometimes hurst my wrists, I will try assassin then
Aoe honestly infinitely easier than before in sl (and it does damage)
Play deveststion, lowest apm of any class
So consider this the superior assassination iteration
You get to do damage and have an ounce of skill expression
!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.
I don't care if it easy or hard, my problem is with fast spamming keys, like fury and outlaw seems to be
we have 1s between buttons
Apm can get High in keys once you get saturated with energy
But
and times where we can literally do nothing for 13 seconds
@drowsy creek
is it correct that we craft toxic instead of slimy?
i love this graph
ass rogues who don't mythic raid, what other trinket beside branch are you gonna go for? porcelain crab?
good, thanks for the info guys, gonna try out assassin
Yes
hourglass
wasnt expecting subs to be that high with downtime
Sub has way more offgcds spells
if you enjoy planning more than reacting, you'll love it, get some good weak auras, and you can stress your brain preplanning which dots you need to refresh on who and when
guys i got a problem with kingsbane anyone can help?
just ghostly strike right? which you can macro to something but probably shouldn't
most of us here can
not all of us, some of us are here to ask questions
Sub does not have ghostly strike no
oh
any weakaura engineers know how to track the dmg of each tick of a dot?
I'd like to see how much dmg each tick of kingsbane did without having to go through logs or details
not really a performance thing more like a for fun thing
when i use kingsbane on shield at boss like tindral at intermisson or fyrakk the kingsbane doesnt damage until the shield goes off
idk why
Isn’t that something they did in voti?
i mean i use kingsbane at shield its like
0 damage (shield)
doing damage(shield is not up anymore)|
I know you'd have to use some on_event - probably combat log-related. and a hash table to store the ticks for display (not sure what this is called in lua).
yo that would be kinda cool to have like 7 boxes come up one for each tick
Yes
yy thats exactly what I was thinking
and like bolded and different color or w/e for crits
Someone make that I want it now lol
Leave poor LE alone 
How's this
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hahaha
Here's how you can make a very simple version
its still damage the shield though if you ook at logs
Use notter kingsbane WA
I do
I just wanted to add ticks to it for more fun looking at it
Damn blazefury medallion did almost 0.7% damage on a ST fight
I have very little experience making advanced weakauras but most of my weakauras are custom made, pretty basic though
It would be with the other weak auras wouldn’t it
but if you give me a hint on how to start

maybe I can do it

nope not there
Do that, then give it a duration at the bottom of 2 sec
Then have a text :
That will show on screen when kingsbane ticks, and will have the text with the damage it did
You can format the text in Format Options to abbreviate it if you want (i.e. 250000 -> "250k")
awesome
That won't show them all in a list, doing so will need more work
i'll play with it after raid and share if it works out nicely
but that's a fast version you can do to show it
Do we have to change anything in the Dance build ST with t31?¿
Should I pick 480 tier gloves or 460 Brand trinket from vault 
?
No changes to build with t31
would you be able to do some scuffed 7 duplicated triggers and use the cast success timer to try and have each trigger snapshot each of the ticks?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
(custom code stuff) you watch the above trigger and send its output into a custom trigger, then record the amount value in the state each time and either A) create a text element to store each tick, which you store as values in your own state, or B) create a single text element which does return characters \n and concatenate into a big list
the former is harder but is much better and lets you format easily with conditions based on info in the tick
the latter is much faster and easier, but worse overall with less configurability
That's how I would approach creating such a list
Or, C) actually what I would do is create a state for every tick so they are fully modular and easier to manipulate in conditions
You see, everything you just wrote makes perfect sense to me since i code for a living, but i never played aroudn with that when it comes to weakauras
i'm no code expert, and i feel like every time i end a wow season i forget everything i know about custom code in WA
is there anywhere I could read/watch stuff about the very basics
of writing custom code for weakauras
there is a github of the api
Learn about A) Watched Triggers and B) TSU.
Watched: https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/wiki/Custom-Triggers#watched-triggers
TSU: https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/wiki/Trigger-State-Updater-(TSU)
Both are game changers for writing custom weakauras
is this watched triggers new?
Also go find a basic lua guide.
i dont recall seeing that on the wiki before
If you want examples, feel free to study my profile, I make heavy use of the above two concepts in my custom stuff

My brother in christ we need to talk about this transmog
If you don't already know lua.
Its a strange language.
Self promo LE back 
It shares a lot of similarities to OOP stuff, while not being really OOP
i ain't got gold mate
It also indexes from 1. 😱
Are you NA or EU. Im happy to donate to the cause LMFAO
EU =)))))
I play a Tauren rogue
i still have the dreamfusion and i can make 1 more piece to get a 2 set
but idk if i should choose from the 473 ones
Would work towards getting 2pc. Cata and the legs would get you there but lfr pants feelsbadman
Have you done raid this week yet
none invites me even on normals
Would try for a token first
im trying ap over hybrid in m+ feels the same but no burst w/ pzn bomb ( am 2pc2pc)
so best choise would be 2 piece ?
Might be a silly question or asked already but what’s the best way to use branch? Does it like snap shot the mastery so you want to like reapply an empowered garrote before going into death mark? Or does the empowered garrote just scale once you gather the orbs? Maybe over thinking it lol
Ideally, would really try and get into a raid first cuz cata on gloves or shoulder would be good
cata?
Dream infusion
oh
No snapshotting, the only snapshotting we have is Nightstalker. The proper way to use branch is listed in the Trinket section of the Gear page on wowhead.
Cata shorthand for catalyst

Saved that lmaoo
so take shoulders than and turn them piece set?
and start hoping to get into a normal
for another piece?
this needs to be a pin
because my shoulders are 428 rn
Oh yeah that is big ups
Awesome thank you! I was looking everywhere for it but there.
is it hard to get another cata for another piece?
Ye, the hardest thing about cata charges is waiting 2 weeks for it.
so it's no way of farming it
Correct
I wish ya luck for raid this week man
It troo :3 opener Poggies
Honestly depends on the key and the level of the key 😂
im doing currently 14-16 because i think my dmg is too crap
In a 19 DHT on Tuesday I did 198k overall with an aug evoker , and 155k overall without an aug evoker in a +18 WM
even for those
Are people playing full ST in m+ this week?
Hybrid imo , it’s like almost full ST anyway
Like u still chonk bosses , main thing ur missing is execute + Blindside
But having IC + Demise etc is just a must for keys
Tyran or Forti

Weirdly enough the AP build feels closer to ST in keys for me lol, I've been running it even in tyrannical for most keys
Maybe that will change when I get new tier tho? Who knows :p
we climbing
Really depends on the group if you are down Ng lower keys with front loaded fps your dots don't get much value at all
Been fucked by other dps sending cool downs when I am try to blast Mark on a big target and end up doing nothing kekw
You should look at logs for the uptime
which weakaura is this
I thought it was really good until I saw the uptime. The movement speed one doubles in all m+ and raids

anyone else considering going for a blue silken lining craft this week?
sim 7m 
you guys wanna see a cursed damage breakdown someone had in smolderon?
how does the notter wa work, cause how do i get 500% more stacks yet do so much less
signet is 483
but yea if you try 7 min sim it will change but not by a lot
you can have fun and look at the graph of signet tho
that funny 100k dps variance
Yes I know
I'm not simming a mythic trinket I can't get for 4 weeks
it is a cool trink tho
Hey all! Reformed ranged player here. How hard is Ass. to learn and do decently with? I love how it looks and the lore is sweet haha
link sim and i show you the funny part
Guys anyone got a clean plater profile?
7 min
whats the pandemic windows for 4cp rupture? below 6 seconds?
Both sandglass and pips are better in aoe tho right
assa has a bit less variance i guess
yea signet for m+ is only for big coordinated group
that chain pulls
or combat cheeses
you can do that on many dungeons
like with a bdk MCing a mob etc
Ive looked thru and the pins and maybe im a bit lost, the standard M+ and ST build are fairly straight forward with me, But with the hybird build. Does anything really change that much as far far as playstyle? If there is a writeup im missing please forgive my ignorance
but if you keep 15 stacks whole dungeon i expect the dmg to be FUNNY
30% * 20 sec = 6 sec yes
How does signet brand work in raid fights
Stacks never drop even in intermission?
They don't reset on new targets?
stacks only drop when you are not in combat
raid fight= always in combat
that is why it is perma bis for fyrakk M
long fight
What should i take?
Mind i play outlaw as well and dont do mythic raiding
tindral is another 7+ https://www.wowhead.com/news/world-first-mythic-tindral-sageswift-kill-by-liquid-in-amirdrassil-336311
fyrakk no one knows
it can be like sark and not change much or like garrosh where you got an extra 5 mins
on mythic
nooooooooooo
9 min max
14 min a bit long
bring back the mythic phase
yea man i miss bosses like gul dan M or garrosh even argus or kil jaeden
achimonde also was cool as f
I like 9-12 final bosses
Igira Dagger, which buff do you want? leech?
Champion Pip>Hero Nick of Time, right?
seeing as it's a farmable item, the dagger that is and the trinket being very strong for a lot of other people
No man
take nick of time
you need 2
and its rare
youll need on average 30-40 dungeons to get one
no
a guildie got it on the myth track on his 2nd alt...
why should i
whoosh
What should I be crafting the bracers with stat wise? or should I just sim and recraft as needed?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
haste mastery
statistically, it is 6.66% chance to get a nick of time, that's on average 15 runs
!dagger
20% chance of getting a loot
1/6 isnt it
unless there is weightings applied to items
guessing effects are so minuscle it doesnt matter which one you get right?
Can outlaw roll on daggers as main spec? I know assass cant roll on axes etc as main spec
but i see outlaw using daggers on OH thats why i ask
(maybe i should ask this in the outlaw channel)
theres only 1 rogue in my tindral pug and hes outlaw idk if im competing with him for the dagger
not even miniscule, that is too large of a descriptor for their effect on dps
go with giant tbh
you can change loot spec to assassin
Is there a specific set of poisons we use for open world and raid and stuff?
but if they are outlaw loot spec
should i get 476 pants and keep them for later upgrade or just tokens? 
they wont compete with me for dagger right
if its not master loot then no
this guy didnt change to ass for the 2nd boss dagger doubt he will do it for tindral
sweet thanks
We can have 4 poisons equipped?! wtf lol
DTB use Amp, Deadly, Atrop, Cripple. If not using DTB it’s deadly and then either crip or mind numb
it's built to be easy to parse more than anything else, so it has some oddities
Coool haha
that leeching poison is even called a posion is susge
Don’t you take the fantasy away from me. You cannot have that.
So what's DTB? Fresh 70, just questing in new zone, still learning
idk anything about the dagger, but you're meant 2 get 2 from galakronds
middle talent on the bottom on the right side
just wanted to copy the pic for friends
It lets you use two deadly and two non deadly poisons
i dont talk about that 
Oh okay, dragon tempered blades, oky, I'm using that lol
yall crafting toxic wrists this week?
I did, fatty sim boost
just get a set item in vault, 1 from raid, 1 from 2k M+ and catalyst, and u can craft helm, since no great helms this tier at all
Make a macro /castsequence reset=10 Amplifying poison, Deadly Poison, Atrophic Poison, Crippling Poison then put it on your bar and click it 4 times.
Deadly > Amplifying > Instant
Atrophic (raid) > Numbing (Dungeons) >Crippling.

@long pecan awesome, ty! im loving ass rogue so far lol
i thought mutilate was meant to be replaced by ambush on the bars, did they change that before it came out?
some1 asked about crafting bracers, which i guess u do to keep slot open for tier helm, but if u get all the other tier items u can just craft helm already
only when blindside procs
ah so during stealth it's still mutilate
Mut uses Ambush when BS procs. qOL change
optimal is to have legs not be tier though
No. You should ambush.
wait it is? Damn i've mis-looked at that then, or it was updated since i checked
Put ambush on your stealth bar and mut on your normal and forget about it
ah gotcha ^^
if you have a stealth bar, then you can slot ambush in the same place as mut on the non stealth bar
what are u guys crafting today
yep you guys are totally right lol i'm being silly
yeah well shiet, it was changed since I last looked
Hey guys just levled rogue to 70, I see Sin is sick in raids, when it comes to M+ do you guys play a diff spec?
Do we have to use two?
no
I’m upgrading bracers to 486 when I get my crests. Not going to craft a dagger I’ll eventually replace.

you're fine to stick with assassin in keys
think I was looking at sub as well, and decided to avoid the helm cus it was awful for sub @oak tangle
Are we also using corrupting rage in m+ or is another one like tepid better?
You can play Sin but it does require a bit more focus on maintaining bleeds and stuff. It’s not as simple as pressing one button or spamming SS/BP
yeah there is alot of playing around with crafting, i think the best piece to craft the second embellishment for sin is the belt, because then you can craft the engineering bracers if you need the brez
can someone tell me for single target have to use weakauras?

obviously sim your own character to know which is higher dps, but the bis sims which whispyr added to bloodmallet has the arterial build ahead on ST

damn 4p enjoyers turned my 95 into a 91 overnight
It's very cool that Sin has so many viable builds.
Is the 4p aoe massively noticeable?
it's very cool that sub can take acro
I can't answer that but - on aoe fights last night - our 4p sin rogue was poppin off like 20-30% higher than everyone
I really don't notice it being gone.
Outlaw and Sub do have go-go-gadget extendo arms tho
Nice I’m sitting on 3p and was contemplating going over to outlaw but I think I’ll just tough it out get my KSM and token the 4p ez and then bigdickdamage.gov m+
not really
hybrid dslice is higher
does 4pc change aoe priority? like preferring to focus on caustic spatter and envenom spam over keeping rupture on everything?
on ST?
yes for me that is
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
wow are you kidding me T31 makes that big of a dif ?
either way the difference isnt overly appreciable
that's not the tier set, that is the baseline single target build
ah oh ok nvm then
4p do be goated tho, feels good
yeah no kiding
Why’s it falling off so hard?
because it's our single target build
Oh that makes sense
Are all the other plotted points using T31 in the sim? Like the dungeon slice or hybrid etc
they are all using the tier set
Alright I was just confused on why there was a specifically labeled T31, I thought “hybrid” might have meant t30/31 2p/2p
it's the way they have the simc profile set up i believe
that is the BiS profiles for all specs
but don't get too caught up on comparing them, as not all sims are equal etc
best to stick to comparing sims within your own spec
hence why mr whispyr has this for his spreadsheet
!whispyr
does anyone know if hekili is ok to use for learning assassination
so what are the most efficient points to swap out for raid fights that are mostly single target but have some aoe? depends on the fight I guess?
!up
my brain is tiny and cant remember so many buttons
internal bleeding for caustic spatter
the one and only change
makes sense, ty
From what i've seen the only talent pivots in the raid are Pure ST = IB, Very minor cleave = IB-> Spatter, Council: IB-> Spatter, maybe Dashing -> IC
Is it ever worth getting spatter up on multiple bosses like say council you get cleave on 2 bosses is it worth getting bleeds and spatter up on both or just let spatter cleave off the one
spatter is one target only
not how spatter works
limited to 1 target
So Gnarl, Igira, larodar, tindral, fyrak = single target + Spatter. Volc, Nymue, Smold = Single Target with IB, Council = ST with Spatter + IC
is waht i've been doing
Oh I thought like my poison ticks were cleaving off
Thought I could spatter two targets and have the poison ticks hit each other
No
what are you dropping to pick up IC for council?
that would be recursive af
You just spatter the one target, then you basically have "Nature damage blade flurry" if you want to think of it that way, off of that target only
can only have one spatter at a time
Yeah I figured they’d have a internal cd or something
Dashing
Ok glad I asked
Yeah and the energy regen loss from dashing (which is really very minor btw) is more than counteracted by IC bleed tick energy
nice that's cool. I was wondering how to benefit more on that fight than caustic
and didn't want to drop arterial
If I wanted to sim two on use trinkets, both with 2 min cd but I use trinket 1 with first kingsbane, trinket 2 with 2nd kingsbane, trinket 1 with 3rd kingsbane etc, how do I go about that?
EDIT: Nevermind, it actually already uses on use trinkets with kingsbane, not on cooldown
trinket 3 :p
I have no idea but #tc-research #tc-updates would be the places to look
as it likely requires some specific rewriting of the simc profile
!whispyr
rekt
Is it possible to dynamically size bars in weakauras based on their duration? I'd like every second to always represent the same distance on the bar... agnostic of how many combo points I finished with. That way I have an even more effective prioritization system on what I need to refresh next... not sure if that whole story made sense at all
haha
hey pips is simming kinda low for me is there something i need to change in the options of the sim or is it just that low

Yes, you can extend width of a bar in Conditions based on the Total Duration value
What do you guys typically run for tyrannical? raid build but with Spatter?
Use a progress bar and use the conditions tab to change the size
no, i am running the arterial precision with blindside
That said, this suggestion only works if you want to do various pivot conditions with hard-coded durations / sizes. If you want to truely dynamically set with width, programmatically, to various continuous widths, that would need custom code in the Conditions tab, which is totally possible but can be a pain
I mean..unless I copied the wrong raid build so am I. build i took from wowhead i think has AP/DTB and Kingsbane but normally runs Internal Bleeding but for keys I figured switch that for spatter for some free aoe and be fine and still be "boss dam focusesd"
looking at volcross, your opener is very wrong, you should look at the wowhead guide as our rotation has changed
i think i can hard code it... i'll just select "equals" and pick the various possible outcomes based on the different numbers of combo points
and equate that to a fixed bar width
So what to craft this week? I made boots last week and was thinking of upgrading my 447 toxic belt with the free wyrm crest. Thoughts?
it's a bit of manual work - but i can multi task during some work meetings
would that work?
Well, if you want it based on the duration of a buff, then you should look at "Total Duration" on the buff, not Combo Points, because combo Points will reset to 0 after casting before the aura is up
But, otherwise, yes, that would work
Looks like your SD is 2 sec before your KB. You’d usually cast them together
Would you guys prefer 463 bandolier or 460 mydas for an M+ build? Mydas sims higher but that just seems odd to me considering the aoe potential of the bandolier
When use branch?
Macro to DM
At deathmark
Yes, I think I didn't explain it well. i meant i look at "total duration" but i check what the possible "total duration" outcomes are based on how long a finisher at each # of combo points takes
8/12/16/20/24/28 for rupture for example
any vault gigaCHAD that will help me to decide?
also, make sure to hold both shiv charges for a kingsbane window, you shouldn't be sending them outside of that. we no longer take echoing reprimand, just in general the guide will be helpful
Yes, however keep in mind the total duration will change around because of pandemic extensions, so you'll want to use >= <= instead of strictly Equals
I know if no one got me https://www.raidbots.com got me
The easiest way to use SimulationCraft. A resource for World of Warcraft players.
if I dont mythic raid should i craft a dagger over the wrists
ok. been unlucky with the wep drops
!whispyr
!up
cheers
someone know is the old 2-Set enough or do i need the old 4-Set ??
2+2
Hello, still kinda new on assassination for m+ only, related to pulls that die quick, how do you do this pulls, because most of the time mark and KB is wasted
Old 4p, if you don’t have 2p of new set. If you have 2p of new, go 2p2p
thx
i recommend the arterial precision builds, as they lean into your bleeds more and sudden demise
Pulls feel bad for any key under 15ish tbh, but you’d ideally just get your bleeds up, maintain CT, get caustic up on your prio and the pulls usually dead by then
!dagger
Those of you who have 4p, how much damage are you putting into a burst window without PI. 2-3million? More?
18 runs in no glimpse of dagger or trinkets yet. Who do I need to pray to in order to change my luck.
I’m trying to figure out if I’m sucking
Looking into trinkets and simming before raid - Bloodmallet has Ashes quite high, but in sims the signet is better by 3%.
Is signet simbait, or ashes just underperforming? Ive looked at the pin, but it doesn't really mention ashes vs signet together with branch
i don't even have 4pc, and i can get just my kingbane to do 2.5m on a target dummy
Got it
I haven’t ran anything with it yet, but new 4p was a 3k boost on my sim compared to 2p2p, if that helps at all.
41runs 🙂
🙂
i'll get 4p at least tuesday, so my goal between now and then is a branch
With the old 4 set did you also finish on 4+ cmb points?
On a dummy, envenom is more overall than kingsbane w new 4p also
that aoe gotta be juicy then
i believe so, but the old 4pc was with a different iteration of the spec
when should i use cds on smolderon?
https://gyazo.com/85cc910dc5eb17662eca13188a6b2624 finally done with m+
can't seem to find <= >=... can only select one of them. I have to create multiple conditions?
Yes you have to do the "Any of" selection to do a clustering of conditions
I too no longer have upgrades from 5s
after we're done with the campaign in emerald dream, the whole camp is missing?
the renown guy? did they just changed place
are they just aspects doing aspecty things
you know, im not even mad that vyranoth gets to be an aspect after just joining the team, meanwhile i've been saving this damn planet for years and i get nothing
There’s 2 instances of emerald dream now. There’s the normal one in the portal, then there’s another one that the campaign takes you too without the portal.
thats from 20s
oh
ty
idek who that is
Congrats! I was just clowning because there was no context to it. Coulda been 2s

thx
the ice primalist that looks like the winter queen who became ally overnight
you probably already have a good on use?
Bloodmallet acts like u have no trinkets
Smart - why dont i think
oh yea she cool
how does an incarnate become an aspect tho
Yeah i got branch 483
sounds op
Am I overthinking sanguine blades? Would you let envenom buff fall off to stay above the 50% energy threshold outside cds?
Branch is op
chaining the envenom buff is important for 4 set
vanish save with dm r?
always
it's in the fyrakk cinematic
Have a example build? we dont get carnage with it? thanks again
i skipped that dogshit cinematic
just got 4set at the end of last night but I was finding times where refreshing rupture/garrote and clipping envenom were all happening too close to one another where at least one would definitely drop for a second
i mean maintaining envenom buff has always mattered
is there a priority in that case?
yup
just was curious with sanguine blades being a thing how much staying above 50 matters
Oxi your tip was insane lmao ❤️ pumping hard thanks to you ❤️
U just need to do things early
Don't wait until last second
Maintain your buffs, you have a window to refresh garrote and rupture because of pandemic
Dont use garrote and rupture on the same "rotation"
Don't worry about clipping your nightstalker rupture
and use envenom at 5+ before u are gonna have to refresh rup
that's helpful actually
Also if you want my envenom bar I add an orange tick at 4 seconds which is a guidepost to say "Rupture any time around/ before here and you will have enough GCDs to get an envenom out before dropping"
blah blah, instead of titans blessing aspects to look after azerbae, azerbae blessed them or something
Hi Guys, is there like a Weakaura that can be used wether or not your garrote dot is snapshotted correctly? And is it better to just prolongate the initial Garrote and Rupture /w pandemic timer? Or is it better to let them run out and then get another proper Garrote/Rupture up?
also about how much energy is comfortable to pool before going into KB?
I would like this yeah
Yes, My profile (LE's) has an empowered garrote weakaura standalone, Also these full packs additionally have the empwoered tracking

@cerulean nest ^ my profile has the bar standalone
oh
bet ty
I watched every cinematic and I was like “wtf is an azerbae” 
would you have understood azermommy
absolutely
Also, to answer your questions, you do want to let your Garrote time out before refreshing if it is empowered. Rupture as well, however preserving your empowered rupture is not super urgent, it's not a huge damage loss to clip it
azerbae could be a name
Garrote is the important one
azermommy couldn't be
can't wait till end of the worldsoul saga, and azeroth is just a huge thot
Mythic timings?
Timings are the same
Nothing wrong with that
Thanks for the Reply, will import your Group and profile ❤️
Is there a reason to use them that way?
either that or some granny
Yes
I wasn’t sure if smolderon had a dmg buff or something
U have something for every dmg amp and dont waste casts
If u trynna parse in heroic u might wanna so something different idk
I just do that, because u will have all the phases in mythic
little question, better to take part ? (i have 0 atm)
sub as a spec playstyle wise feels fine
Shoulders looking spicey
idk what people are complaining bout
not complaining, it's timings are perfect for 1:30 damage amps
no i mean people have been complaining ig since patch
what i should pick xd if i dont have any tier item ? 😄
Sub was super boring in ST for me before, and there is not much that has changed that for me with rework
The fun part of sub now is keeping track of cds
Dmg amp as in intermission to get out of it faster?
i haven't actually looked at the spec in detail since the rework, i just know it now goes down the left side of the tree and....
I don't get it 
im prob way overthinking sanguine blades though
on do you NEED to stay above 150 at all times
thinking about it is getting you most of the way there
Ye, its just a passive you dont play around
if you are pooling and not spamming generally you will stay above 50% energy reaping the benefit of SB
yeah it was more of if during non cds do i just let envenom drop to keep the benefit
What's the better build of the two to run this week in m+? Or is it just preference
if you can chain an envenom do so, if you can't wait till you are 80% energy and restart
so if another mutilate would drop me below 50 its not worth
should i put in macro firstly kb or sd or it doesnt matter?
You do not play around it. Especially once you get the 4pc, you flatly ignore the 50% threshold
get cp for an envenom cast no matter what, if you can cast the envenom before the previous one drops off do it
SD first, then KB.
Sd first
What abilities did you macro together? Currently only have SD+KB macro but perhaps o
perhaps i'm missing out on potential Qol macros 🙂
i have vanish and garrote, but that is not ideal in some circumstances
I have Deathmark + branch as well
That's what most people do, and also Trinket / Deathmark / Potion together
People macro on use trinkets to DM also
that makes sense
I don't use macros for any of them though, just have keybinds for everything
But those are the two common ones
do we maintain crimson tempest on ST in m+?
no
I wouldn't necessarily recommend Trinket + Deathmark, because some trinkets you don't want to use with DM
Like Ashes you use 3 seconds into KB
Branch, you use with deathmark
I can't spam that fast atm still need to practice rotation. So I need macros. Sometimes I still mess up like delaying shiv one gcd
Is it really only branch that you want to use with DM?
we'd cast it as close to sd proc as possible tho no?
So just for the sake of my muscle memory, I keep trinket separate
i don't believe so, as a singular envenom will do more damage than a ct
No, you never wrack up bleeds for an SD proc. By definition, SD is inefficient because it requires your bleeds exceed more than the damage they're making up for
so that envenom will put you into the sudden demise range further than a CT would
I Think I've ran out of keybind possibilities atm lol, think i have 24 hotkeys or something like that
so at that point generating to keep your envenom buff going is more worth
If you use a logitech G600, you can bind like F13-F21 to your mouse buttons, and don’t forget about shift modifiers
Correct, keep your envenom buff going
it's not specifically about the envenom buff, as much as the 4pc which means casting your envenom during a previous envenom buff gives a damage proc
This is a bit excessive of a recommendation with specific hardware 😛
think i have G502 mouse
yeah i was just thinking since now there's added incentive
Well, I’m sure you can do it with other 12 button mouses, I just haven’t used the others so I’m not sure 
than prior it was always good to have envenom buff always going
More practically, Mouse wheel binds + modifiers (which pretty much everyone has) are a pretty common way to get 4-6 new keybinds, I use them a lot
hello, where could i find a build for tyra week as assass, murlok is a bit chaotic .. and i don't understand how warcraftlogs works
"12 button mouse" still falls in the "specific hardware" camp 🙂
imo
ty helping 🙂
Don't think i have the brain capacity to add mouse stuff into the mix 😛
just a point in that it's better to cast your envenom as late as possible to keep the proc but extend your energy out.
You’re absolutely not wrong, I just wrongfully assume most people use them 😂
I know I couldn’t go back to NOT using one personally
I understand that, similar to how I couldn't go back to playing without a mousewheel for my binds
makes sense
that's the one buttons i'm unlikely to ever bind
Mousewheel for binds ? 
Yes
middle mouse click is my interrupt though
That sounds so uncomfortable, I’m gonna try it
It kinesthetically matches the motion I want to engage with
For example
Ctrl+Mousewheel up = Sprint
Because i'm telling myself to mvoe forward
And it feels very natural
Shift + MWUp = poisoned knife because I'm Throwing it forward
that makes sense, until i fat finger a sprint mid opener cause i hit my wheel on accident
Again
takes some getting used to
Like for DK grips, I use that on mousewheel down
because I'm yanking them towards me
Quick question - do we go from 4p to 4p or is 2p 2p viable?
please tell me your evoker breath is mwup
You just opened a whole new world up to me
I spin in my chair to cast fok
4CP applies even during KB windows right - even if we are high energy no need to go for 6 and finish? If i land on 4CP just send even in cds?
It takes some getting used to and I bought some bulk vomit bags off of Amazon for m+
I don't have an evoker but I wouldn't use it there because breath you're supposed to hold and you can't do that with mwup
Yes, 4+ CP always
kind of, you would want 5+ when you are coming up on a rupture refresh
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Also, again, if your chain drops, that's ok
sims are perfect robit tho, i have human lag, so my envenom buff will drop on 4
2p2p is more than viable, if you can do 2p2p, do it, it's quite strong
Sweet
(But if you want the True ™️ answer, use sims)
Oh yeah and my most fun one, Charge on warrior is mwup
however before you get any ideas be careful with Shadowstep
Hey guys, just swapped to assassination yesterday. If you have old 4-set do you have to delay anymore after deathmark to get more of kingsbane in the 4-set effect or still just 1 GCD (Shiv) apart?
augury trinket in m+ is pretty dope
It's harder to accidentally charge than it is to accidentally shadowstep, I moved shadowstep off my mousewheel bind for this reason, especially when trying to target allies
But it did used to be there
that was fun on mythic rashok, Trying to shadowstep mouseover an ally with mousewheel
Absolutely binding shadow step to mousewheel up now

lucky for mwheel nodules hey, you get that one logitech mouse where you can unlock the free roling and you in some dangerous territory
I (was) laughed (at)

with the 4 tier set and using kingsbane, are we supposed to chain envenom in there too or maximize envenom cast?
You can do this if you'd like, it does provide some gains, I don't know exactly how much. However it is definitely a smaller optimization to do only with the old set. You do not preserve the old set for this, if you can swap to 2pc2pc it is still better
i have an amazing video of me yeeting off the boat in H BoD and living
So, personally, I just don't so I properly train muscle memory for when I swap out
M gnarlroot last night I accidentally precast dance before pull lol
thanks for the reply
During kingsbane you full burn, you do not pool. You want as many GCDs as possible used, so yes, you maximize envenom cast. Only begin chain/pooling after KB is faded
also I can find a vod of this but does anyone else randomly experience KB and dance just like, going away suddenly in the middle? its happened to me a few times and I can't figure out what's happening
its happened on bosses like during opener
I don't think they went immune
I'll try and find a vid later
how do you tell?
Like is it because of a (mine) weakaura or something else? (I.e. should I be investigating this as a WA bug?)
like I see my dance and KB ticking and then suddenly theyre full grey and on CD
like without finishing
I'm using luxthos currently
If you can find a vod of it, try to look at the default unit frames to confirm instead, or your player buffs in the corner from the base ui
and not the weakaura
see if they are conflicting
If they are, then trust the base UI, that's a luxthos problem then
yeah I'll look it up
If your SD is truely dropped from your base Ui auras.... then I don't know, that's odd
!up
what talents u running this week
what is this in the Wa?
That is damage done during Kingsbane
Looks like it’s a tracker to show how much you do in kb windows
it tracks each kingsbane window
This is one I've had some of the most questions on but I wasn't sure on the best way to display it and make it super obvious
ah okay, what is the 1 and 2 behind the buff?
That is number of unique targets hit in that window
So it gives you context in aoe, obviously an aoe window will do more damage
ah like with caustic splatter etc
Is there a link to the wa?

My profile (LE) above has all my standalones, Damage Windows is the one that is being discussed
It's in the list
It's honeslty one of the more neglected auras, the page doesn't have screenshots and stuff :/
Should i envenom Chain if dont have the new set? or just renew when it is about too fall off
Can i enable the icons in the WA that is in the group? (KB WA)
so dont worry about pooling energy at all?
You don't have to chain if you don't have the new set, it's a pattern that's good to train yourself on though so it's good to do it, but not necessary
You should still not clip your envenoms, just renew when it's about to fall off or has fully fallen off
thx
Which KB WA? There are a few
just a sec 🙂
think it is this one, blue bar with the red green lines when its best to refresh/use the ability
can you macro kingsbane into shadowdance or will that make it not get the nightstalker bonus?
go into the weakaura and click on the Custom Options tab, there's an option to enable the icons:
Under Extra Tick Visual
You can macro them. Just have SD first in the macro and it will properly gain nightstalker
The weakaura is under the Heads Up Bars group
so what are you guys that have branch feeling about it -- is it a pain in the ass to use, or relatively simple?
I been farming it (unsuccessfully) and i'm starting to just think maybe i should give up.
It's not really that hard to use
ugh ok
