you refreshed rupture too early in your first kingsbane window
i started the game in BFA prepatch / end of legion. i made a level 1 rogue, boosted a hunter, and immediately made a dh. I played DH for the entire prepatch / end of legion. whilst levelling my rogue from level 1. I know the ins and outs of rogue more so than dh because it was what i invested into. played rogue in season 1 of BFA once it was levelled and outside of 3 or 4 tiers, have played sin in all
you should have waited until vanish and then did garrote>rupture>mut or something isntead of the garrote >envenom > mut you did
so goal on vanish window is, getting a fresh garrote and rupture in ?
what are you trying to see
?
lmao
go to sleep
sad fumi
is it sd kb shiv tea , or is it shiv tea sd kb ?

tea at 10 and 5, and vanish at 3? and shiv before kingsbane and keep it up the entire duration?
uh
no
shiv at 8 i believe, if only 1 charge
should always have 2 charges because you only use shiv in kingsbane
no tea at 10?
no
kk
only if you have multiple charges and you need the energy
I vanish on ~ 2,9 is that wrong?
no thats better
dont ask, ... i know now why i always have 1 charge ... xD
Vanish at 2.9 is much, much better than 3.1
whats the pooling practice tool for?

Ravenholdt Discord: https://di...
so in order to get the timers right, i probably need to track kingsbane buff duration with a WA
wow ty
so that i vanish at exactly 2.9
Whats pandemic range btw?
You don't have to vanish at exactly 2.9
also probably need to track shiv but shiv cleaves so idk how that'll be effective
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
can someone help me with my mythic logs, checkin if i do something horrible wrong?
Probably
I mean, you could just look at the debuff duration on base UI and know what the timer looks like for when you need to do your abilities
that stores the same information
looking up is impractical
Or you could use a weakaura to tell you a bit more reliably / precisely. Vanish only has to cover the final 2 ticks, which happen at 0 seconds and 2 seconds
Wisdom for the ages
yeah it'll probably be effective
nymue pug 
Well if you want one, we got em, KB weakauras are in most of these packs. My profile has a timer bar that's pretty popular

Thanks my guy ❤️
Whats their ilvl? Were they getting pi/augged?
ur so close
We are both 466, but they have a 483 Nick MH
Oh that’s huge difference
Yep lol
We both still only blue parsed too which is scary https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/VtdnF6vjWKQNLHTh#fight=last&type=damage-done
quick question guys, just starting out playing assa, with amplifying poison, what poisons do I even use? im very confused
amp + deadly + cripl
or amp + deadly + mind numbing
but amp and deadly are always your main 2
and if you dont have dragon tempered blades talent, you pick deadly as your main one
because it activates caustic spatter
I think im running that talent yeah
i accidentally forgot to switch off my st talents for a brh but honestly with 4pc and spatter (and tyran week) it went alright
What was your overall? How was your single target for the boss fight?
Also not sure how to check who got aug assistance much. But saw the priest gave PI to the boomkin that did 82k dps

that was my last BRH
+18
but it was with AP build
so yeah i think boss damage is a bit lower
that was with 2p/2p
!up
When i see that numbers i know i suck big balls, bcs i suck in dmg 
whats your ilvl ?
95%
hopefully not to the ground but yeah it defs needs a nerf
better take hunters and dh's with them
should be easy dub

Isnt it pi and aug that makes assa so strong right now? Assa ate shit for a lot of time in m+…. So why now where it is good fck it up… pls no… and if so… Then nerf bm, dh too…
it also happens to be number 1 on every single raid fight
except council where its number 2
the good thing about all of this is that we got 2 other specs to work with if assa ate the dust
Pi and aug y
however sub's the weakest of the 3 in m+ right now so i hope it doesnt become the best one after the nerfs
If I upgrade my belt with the new spark without a socket it's a 900dps loss.
Did others have the same issue ?
is your belt toxic patch
Yes
463
yeah socket is worth a lot of ilvl
Thinking about possibly hitting up dagger instead
can grind dagger
Does Nick drop from both DotI?
just first one
Nah just one I'm pretty sure
fall of galakrond
Ok then go into wcl and then Go for „exclude external buffs“… tadaaaa
gotcha, thanks
Someone’s gotta be number one. Why not us
I don't know how to check in game. I just always log, raider.io addon can auto-log for you when you enter a raid, and I'll sometimes just make a live log and leave it on all day while I do stuff and It'll just go.
losing to a ret 
I think I am always live logging because of Loggerhead
Listen...

Do we want to not overwrite an empowered garrrote/rupture at all, or is there a time threshold?
How many balls per person on Smolderon?
its by a good amount is the problem lol
Was it normal or heroic
And can you only see your own?
I don’t see any problems
5 and yes
Yellow class good
and you have to do the tank soak in the phase
Ah I griefed on 2nd intermission then 🫠
to see your orbs
otherwise
they will be invisible and unable to interact
and go into the boss for free
Just Go with „exclude external buffs“ m8
does it matter which loot spec for branch drop rate?
Whats wrong with Cataclysmic Signet Brand. wowhead says "no better option for ST" but 483 Simming -10k against 470 branch 
oh, stupid me
shmeeps rolling up to be toxic

nice, +57 dps against 483 sandglass
@keen spruce
go get that stick
good morning, anyone been having an issue with everbloom mage boss casting spells even though you have cloak of shadows on ?
ground fire goes thru cloak
2/2/6 H smold was a dream
455 with 2p/2p
Was just gonna Ask that
got that sweet new OP tech
I mean we aren't blizzard
what makes you guys think
we'd know whether sin is getting nerfed
or by how much
sitting out here with my abacus like a tuning rainman
tomorrows weather has a 35% chance of hail with some spotted dh nerfs throughout the day
make sure to bring an umbrella
does envenom explosions from 4pc bonus overlap with the poison bomb explosions 
correct
that's why we haven't seen tuning yet
i mean do you spec into poison bomb when you get 4pc
what's this even mean
yeah why wouldn't you
who said im raiding 
Lmaoooooooooooo
i was talking about keys
kingsbane feels really weird, im definitely doing the same rotation every time but the damage fluctuates a lot, is there a reason for it
What?
yeah called rng
you either apply poisons
or you don't
you either crit your kb
or you don't
you either proc your wafting
or you don't
okay i didnt know if i could do anything about it or not cause it feels pretty shitty
turn off your details then idk
wafting ?!
sin rogue is playing wafting devotion?
not sophic ?
if a 10% swing in damage is from rng is causing you grief
then maybe its time to turn off your numbers
Ahh another none guide reader or simmer.
Bro
Hybrid build with pb in m+ makes a lot of fun. Feels a tiny little bit like legion when pb proccs
thats correct
amen
Apparently 😂
You guys hold DM for intermission on Smold?
yes
now please answer my non-guide-follower question
Okay thought so, that is what I was doing
ffs
or anyhthing
Although getting it lined up is rough at first lol
you apparently don't care what I write in a guide why should I answer you now
i watched all your videos
if you'd value my time you wouldn't make me repeat myself would you
but here we are
^
and im using your wowhead rotation guide
.<
i just missed that one thing
about the enchant

ehm the youtube videos ofcourse
hehe it sounded wrong
Whyspir you make a guide with faq and all the stuff like last season here in discord?

i read the guide once, now i can tell people how to read the guide
eventually but it would legit just be copy paste wowhead guide so I think it's doing fine for now while I put out more pressing fires
Whats the button that makes combo?
i have 2 sticks
i'm just helpin my friend get tyrna keys done
;_; Bro
A B down left A is a nice Combo
wowhead guide trolled me cause it didnt foresee my rng to get bis weapons so early, told me to craft dagger with my first spark 
wot
Fuckkkkkkkkkk
the guide does not say that
Is that wafting enchant only for raiding?
you sure you're reading the rogue guide

It's literally like don't craft dagger unless you're giga unlucky with drops
is nightstalker the only thing that snapshots bleeds/poisons?
Once you obtain Spark of Dreams, you should aim to craft the following items at the highest item level possible. Note that you may use the recrafting system to increase its item level later if you so desire. After crafting your best pieces, you can use sparks to improve slots that you have the lowest item level pieces, aiming to increase your average item level.
Toxic Thorn Footwraps
The off-piece you use for Toxified Armor Patch . This would typically be Life-Bound Bindings or Life-Bound Belt
Blue Silken Lining for trying to get damage in niche situations, or craft into your lowest item level slot with an Alchemical Flavor Pocket
Any low item level pieces, prioritizing Primal Molten Shortblade for your main-hand if you don't have a high item level dagger already
it's pretty close in m+ but it's a gear thing for the most part, sophic holds up much easier in aoe
yes
Ok then its okay that i buy dont know 20 sophics before season starts x)
hey now that's my ad revenue you're stealing wtf (I don't get paid ad revenue I get paid hourly)
i wasnt serious though this is here 
Yo good morning (atleast its morning here). Seen 2 different type of sims. 1 is using rupture at 3cp at start and then using it in shadowdance and the other using a full cp rupture at start then no rupture in shadowdance. What would be more efficient or when do I start doing rupture in shadowdance? Since this rupture in dance thing is on bis gear sim
might™
yep
rupture in dance is between 80 and 150 dps when done optimally, if you play with an aug it's 100% not worth rupturing, just 6cp rupture the start and slam envenoms
so what you're saying is if i find a spelling mistake or grammar error, that's money in the bank?
is raid pov uploaded?
who am i kidding i aint finding any of that shit i got a c- for english
that's a fat 2 minutes of invoiceable time
Wtf
cause sudden demise is really fucking good lmao
bleeds
who said sudden demise is bad
how do you figure its bad
even if it didn't have the execute it would still be alright
10% itself is fucking nice
Feels like troll 😭
it did like 1% dmg in a 20
Trying to setup DM+Branch during Smold intermission is rough lol
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
the most important macro for this week is this;
#showtooltip
/s can't stop won't stop
/cast cloak of shadows
It’s the best thing to trigger WW’s playing Touch of Death Build 
if it only did 1% of your damage in a 20 how low was your overall lol
210k overall galakrons fall
btw can you evade the big shadow bolt hit on the last boss of BRH with evasion
use cloak of shadows?
^^
How do you play with sudden demise? teach me lol
do you dodge it completely or just take less damage?
cloak of shadows makes you immune to it
i mustve timed wrong then cause i ended up at %40 hp
Lmfao
@balmy condor i’m feeling your pain right now.
It’s ok to let out a scream at these basement level Pepega
You click it. You click apply talents. You play like normal.
even on tyrannical, sudden demise is like a 3.5 to 4% talent passively, before it even does any damage
Mine doesnt do as much as whispyrs was doing. Should I refresh bleeds at low % or envenom?
There's so much shit you can cloak in dungeons such a busted spell sometimes
i use cloak offensively on a big pack to ignore mechanics and do max dmgur
no that's inefficient
you just let it happen
monkey tactics
The man, the myth, the legend replies lol
you mean you don't refresh CT and shiv when you are at 5 bursting stacks?
Was funny when i was doing BRH and you know the gargoyle boss with the pool dropping swirly debuff?
My prieet was like WTF YOU CAN CLOAK THAT??!!?
Go you mean the DH boss?
I was just like.
Lel yeh why wouldn’t i. 
yeah sadly I've found myself shackled to this god forsaken place like a mental prison
in everbloom when the 15 stacker hits
deal
with
it
healer diff
What gargoyle boss?
sometimes I'm like ya know what, no discord today, just let it go, it'll be fine
it'll be the first one the fear aoes
and then I see some of the most insane shit I've ever read in my life
and I'm like nuh uh
can't do that
lmao
yea but sudden demise is trash man
I let bursting stack to 11 use cloak and watching my group die and laugh afterward
thinking i might take doomblade instead of CT in m+ this week
can we play 1hand for assa for bigger envenom crits ?
Nah this fkin thing. Thought it was a gargoyle for some reason shows how much i haven’t done of it 😂
most reasonable #assassination chatter
Keep calm, chug a Monster, let the hate flow.
oh the THIS IS TYR WEEK losing 20k overall for like 2k st
can i take sepsis and hold kb for each one @balmy condor
but who's laughing when that timer reaches 0 before the key is done ?
doomblade is back 
Oooh. Fair. You can cloak that huh.
hey man

you can do whatever you'd like
I mean you totally can drop CT
I wouldn't recommend it
but if you're such a tyrannical boss damage fiend
it's not unplayable
i mean esp if you have 4p
Only 4% damage? How much did you press it?
it's kinda funny to me how much more accepting of CT we are now that it's not spammed on aoe
do keys with aoe blasters
Hey folks ! Been starting the mythic raiding yesterday, and even though i felt i didn't do major mistakes (opener etc), my dps seems to be on the lower side according to parse. Anything outstanding to you guys that could explain the green parses ? (ignore Council, i tried SS the bear to gap close after charge ... didn't made out alive :D) ( LOGS : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/PcH6DYBk4JwzQmAX#fight=15&type=damage-done - Avocadotös - 463 weapons and no PI xD)
pull into boss the zen state of tyr
No luck on Smolderon tonight
as long as you have caustic, carnage, kingsbane
whats CT ?
you're doing damage
Crimson tempest
now that i think
which boss you pulling into on waycrest
and everlboom
aha okay thanks
Yeah that sounds like the worst dungeon to do that with lol
witches and tree goliath
WM bosses fucking hurt
witches probably fine
also lady and mr waycrest
The trick is to time the keys with killing your mates its a tiny line between genius and madness
explain to me what's going on here
tree isn't active until you kill the miniboss though right
correct
The tree spawns as soon as we have been pulling that witch pack
You can completely skip that smaller tree, just kill the adds around the boss
where shiv
I have yet to have him not spawn as soon as we fight them

yeah where the hell is shiv
shiv
Hello guys, any advice on what I should pick ? Trinkets seems rare considering everyone wants them, but got a 480 shoulders I can catalyst, planning playing more M+ than doing Raid (other than HC), thanks
actually kind of impressive he hit a green parse on mythic without using shiv
@tender bear Garrot slice, garrot rupture, DM, SS+ KB build evenom for the poison buff then rsume

You have me shadowstepping onto the boss just before intermission ends helping out.
yeh but that's not the opener
thats false considering you need a 5+ envenom before you full send
major thing I'm seeing here is just not shiving
Easiest gray parse of my life.
and the envenom uptime aint great
I've updated a new version that now only glows for Vanish if you've used Deathmark (idea thanks to LE)
And only glows for tea if you have a charge available.
thanks for brinking it up
So finish is at 4+ even with DS, or 5+ with DS because i've been doing 4+ based on what the wowhead guide says
4+
poor @tender bear copping stray tags
@balmy condor ok ! I'll pay attention to Shiv, right before KB and refresh for the last ticks right ?
just gonna start pinging random people in every message
yah
alright
joined rh for one comment 3 years ago and never left? pinged
wanted to make sure it just kidna feels weird xd
Just start calling out the lurkers that never commented.
gotta fit that kingsbane into the damage amp
yeh
yell at them
hahaha
Just build CDR bro
dont help roots
stand there during whole intermission
force it into your 2 min window lol
im going to parry whisyprs kingsbane
Sudden demise is rly not that great on bursting, everything is exploding 😅
I have seen mention of an "accelerated opener" a few times. Is that a meme or an actual thing? Not sure if I totally missed that somewhere
actual thing
it's pretty min-maxy
but you just kinda skip the rupture at the start
if im correct this means sending everything with 3 cp or less
and it saves you a couple seconds
Oh gotcha
or no haha :p

initial hit is big, it ramps up during shadow dance
Although curious, I think I recall seeing you send rupture at 3cp in your ST vid during the opener. Was that just to get it applied with a single gcd and then refreshing during KB/SD?
and ur 2nd last tick didnt crit ig
Yes
Will have to keep that in mind
yeh but I don't bother these days tbh
like it's either gar ambush rup mut snd mut mut env
or I'm accelerating in which case it's gar snd ambush mut env
sorry forgor the snd in the first one
Smol
brother I'm about to hit you with it two times
Yeah like my smold opener was gar > amb > rup > mut > snd > mut > mut > env > KB burst
Had to make sure I wasn't trolling
For rupture I usually only redo it for pandemic
But for garrote, do you recommend sticking with timer or is it worth overriding regardless in an SD window?
Was trying to see personal preferences
glad i can skip that
this you
Specifically overriding an already imp gar
Hahahahahaha
Bro i swear your guide is my main ressource but theres just so much stuff for a first time assa player
oh its a ton
cut me some slack im trying 
It has been a lot to learn
Although I was able to purple parse norm 
Lmao
if using sbs would you replace the mut with sbs in the accelerated version?
yes
My Nymue isn't orange anymore 
Michael Jordan shrimp o.p
something I'm pretty upset about personally
holy shit lol

kinky
I worry about what I am competing against
Dont even wanna look
Oh sorry, screen too small
I was pretty happy for this on heroic nymue
I open logs now
Wow 208k
he is like 10ilvls ahead of you at least what wow 😄
man I'm only on 2pc but still my blue parce on hc Nym doesn't seem as great anymore lol
i got helped already yesterday , do you mind checking my logs for critical errors ?
gave mythic gnarlroot the beans
POG
Just not good enough sorry bro. Read the guide more.
holy
logs for assa will be crazy this tier mr whispyr sir
I'm getting actually cranked
yeah
guys
what rune do we use?
in guides i see crit
in game is see a lot of peaple with mastery
and he was 2 less ilvl
if only i could get my shadowpriest to delay his pi a few seconds 😄
im laughing with tears
spriest pi already lines up pretty good w/ us i thought
what's happening here, are we questioning credentials?
how many times do we have to link the guides?
none of them are even top 100
dunno, i always receive mine like 3 seconds into the pull
and thats way to early
fear plebskitten
no I'm just lamenting the fact that parsing into the top 100 is fucking ridiculous this patch
feral main btw
gonna be a hell hole
amen
parsing is always kinda rediculous tbh
Especially assa
oh i guess PI is 3rd gcd for spriest now
just play sub, instant top10
yeh it's gonna be especially bad this tier though
there's SO MANY external factors to take into account
100% crit kingsbane uptime and a priest who actually Pi’s you when they should.
i should not watch my ilvl parse when im 447 right ?
it should still cover your kingsbane window though
before people starting getting PI on sin rogue last tier
it's just gonna be rng kill time fiesta
that was fun
ideally for the best parses we'd want 2 DM windows ?
ilvl parsing is always... really weird
like most data interpretation it's all weird
i tried getting fire mage parses back in nyalotha
my only non 99/100 in heroic was on nzoth, we killed before you could get the 100% damage buff
either 2 dm windows or 1 dm window where the boss dies shorty after kekw
The good old days.
But it’s pretty funny people getting absolutely dusted in the opener every single pull 😂
im in smold prison for the next week no more parsing
this channel will clear out in a week when the nerfs roll in though
only pain
surely

people will say "but pi and aug is carrying us"
like blizz has ever cared about that
surely people just roll off the spec and go new fotm
and they don't stick around
and doom in the channel
for 3 months
SURELY

sunk cost fallacy
Just make them respec outlaw
they spent the first 2 weeks as sin rogue now they have to join the old guard of complaining in rh
Outlaw channel next week 📈
ok actual seriousness now, do we need a nerf or are bosses just kind to our dmg profile?
barrier to entry of old guard is real low
I don't think people who rolled rogue to play assa would play outlaw tbh
when the old guard is like 10 people
yeah its pretty low barrier lol
Like, I basically fall asleep when I'm trying to play assa on single target
So I imagine the opposite would be true
so making green logs on normal bosses is ok when im 447
?
i'd play all 3 specs with 0 issues
its an advantage
variety is good
Is there gonna be nerfs ? :<
This is blizzard ultimate plan to grow the rogue pop
why is sub banned?
🔮
Because I banned it.
Well you’re banned
sub is lowkey pretty fun in ST
Due to my rampant, unjustified hatred of it.
?
new shadow technique and shadowcraft is blasters
Oki was gonna say Cus sub is also stonkers
for wherever the nerfs throw me
The new stuff does look kinda fun
I’m yet to give it a go but just doing world stuff it plays pretty nice with the build and the stacking combo points.
I just prefer outlaw
If my guild needed me to play sub for a timing or w/e I'd probably enjoy it.
i played it for 3 pulls for heroic smolderon "prog"
Sub's pretty big on ST yeah
But I am big mega casual so I don't need to play anything
such a shame shuriken storm is a shitshow on aoe now though
cause it felt alot better for timings and stuff
where your cp generation are a mess
I also don't have a dagger
how are you playing sin then
bro whispyr cooking something wild he been typing for 2 minutes now
and sub absolutely fucked for that use case, having 90 second windows
I’m sorta happy it’s not doing an effective two button rotation anymore.
Partly why i’m enjoying assa so much in keys haven’t played anything else

I play sin mostly for funsies, swapping to sub would only happen if it was actually numerically better than outlaw, which I doubt it would be going from 483 main hand to 463
yeah i am mostly assa for keys, i did 2-3 outlaw keys but i have so much mastery and outlaw is just exhausting
Once I get timestrike dagger though I can play whatever
i like it, but i cannot play it for hours without killing my fingers
It is kinda' pain looking at logs and seeing that I have more casts than the next two dps combined
imagine not having 489 nick 😄
outlaw's nice theres always something that you're doing but i feel like assa just does way better in keys right now
Yeh a few years ago i’d probably loved outlaw. But playing a slower more thinking spec for my boomer arse 🙃
I aint wasting my crests upgrading that thing
and assa's damage profile is insane
the timestrike doesn't scale with ilvl
It kind of does tho
I've also only done like 17 keys
iron wire is borderline insane
borderline?
brings master whispyr a ☕ nearly there fella. Keep this pace up and we’ll finish the book on time
its the least of what's super good about assa though
its what sets it apart from outlaw the most imo
without it just play outlaw in keys
My (LE) profile has a stand-alone progress bar for envenom, with pandemic tick, in the bot command kilrathal linked
outlaw does mad dmg aswell if you are up to the game
Only thing i hated about outlaw is that you can get cucked with rng on a big pull where you roll bad rolls
Iron wire aoe blind with the dmg/heal red, sin cookin in m+
lol
and you fall behind
nah with 4 set you are mostly sitting at atleast 3 buffs, so you are fine
oh
Imagine having 4 set
yeah with 2p it was savage
couldn't be me
Outlaw rng isn’t really much of a thing anymore.
But it’s still adhd spec spamage
bad rolls don't wreck you anyway
2p is an actual dps loss for outlaw^^
Lmao
you want the full set
Gain for me on ST due to ilvl but yeah it's a loss in keys atm
lets say im doing low keys to help friends, would it be better to go outlaw ?
since shit dies fast anyways?
sudden demise says hello
Whispyr about to drop a bomb or sum
yesterday i hit the kraken in TOTT for 14 million with sudden demise
sudden demise is so funny on bursting
Maybe it's just a cat on his keyboard
15 stacks insta
pre cloak
Lives up to its name
whenever i see someone playing outlaw
watch group die

So i finally got the witherbark trinket yesterday and im trying to use it so that i kite the last orb, but i am having some problems with that. The orbs are wayyy too hard to see and even with my weakaura im finding myself collecting all 3 orbs way too soon in most cases. You guys have any tips?
don't move back
the WA i am using for Rupture shows me empowered ruptures from stealth. But that's mostly fake isnt it? I guess the 10% nightstalker buff, or am I missing something?
@merkington learning to handle it / using IT later to for Sure cover KB / Pray
Yes, rupture is empowered by nightstalker.
Whispyr low key feel asleep on his keyboard
Its nightstalker ye, dont reefresh
ty
play embersoul instead 
you can just like step one way, step the other for like a bit more
then the back one is like OMFG I GOTA CATCH HIM
you can also just stand there and not worry about it at all and its still probably a gain lol
Just
aight this question is actually just like a billionth time at this point, I'm gonna write one long answer to you and the regulars can reference back to it or something
Big question out of the way, is assa getting nerfed? Probably yeah.
Are they gonna be big? Probably no.
There's still bugs out that are bumping us higher than we should be (no I'm not explaining because they're fixed in legit 4 days and I don't want to cause a panic). Those are for sure getting fixed after race/on tuesday. The healthy thing at that point is to re-evaluate Assassinations position. (See Picture 1) looking at the average heroic player, spec is about 8% over-budget on overall, but it's much closer depending on the boss you're looking at. Tindral/Fyrakk/Smolderon/Igira are a lot closer than say Nymue. (See Picture 2), on average mythic for all bosses, it's also looking around 5-8% over-budget. But once again if you go boss by boss, volcoross sticks out like a sore thumb where assa can take advantage of the kill time by a huge amount, and it's much closer on the other bosses.
Yes the spec is getting PI simped out of its mind, and yes it can take advantage of kill times and good vulernability phases on bosses and such. It definitely can. But I don't think it's as crazy as people make it out to be, and on some of these bosses it's actually competitive to specs no-ones really talking about. The big 3 people complain about are BM/Havoc/Assa, but if you scroll through logs and dig through not the top 10 people in the world and shit. Take a look whats happening for a majority of the playerbase in heroic/mythic in the 50-60 parse range. What they actually tune for, don't try to cope that they tune for the liquid/echo/hall of fame raiders we all know they don't. You'll see things like Marksman hunter on igira, survival and enhance shaman, fury warrior, sub rogue, demo lock. It's easy to just go look top 10 and go "IT ALL ROGUE IT ALL HAVOC LOOK LEADERBOARD BIG ROGUE WE GET NERF", but it's a lot less clear in actual bulk of logs. Hell, if you go to high normal logs you start to see like arcane mage and devoker and shit.
All that to say, if I'm held at gun-point and someone goes "what are assa nerfs on tuesday", my answer is "some bug fixes, maybe a 3% nerf overall as a symbolic gesture, maybe a small nerf to an ability or two". The spec will be fine and it'll survive mostly unscathed. That's my personal prediction. That being said, I'm not blizzard, and I'm sure I'll wake up to 160 discord pings on tuesday regardless of how soul-crushing or inconsequential any changes that happen will be.
And now I'm never answering this question again I don't wanna anymore it's 1am I have sims to run and I'm closing discord goodbye
I've a question why is prefered craft wrist rather then waist as embellishment?
Heyo, is worth keeping s2 2pc? I could change it for raw stats with s3 2pc
sim

demo is cranked af and actually has sustained dmg now (its a bit like assa was pre-changes, decent sustained with good spikes, the 2specs almost swapped their dmg profiles lmao)
fury is crazy in m+ and has very high dmg general (but gameplay is shit)
enh is like enh was in the last couple years, 1of the best melee dps
arcane is strong rn
devestation is strong as fuck

Good answer, but how does this affect LeBron's legacy? 
what if you got held at gunpoint ? Would you answer this question again?
all of those get sleeped on for some reason lol
Last couple of years?
when was enh actually bad the last time lol
When was it good the last time b4 DF?
wasnt it bad in voti
Nah it was good in vault
SL? 
like
when was enh bad
since wft is back?
even without wft you would bring it quiet often
wft just made it a 100% pick
Idk wft carrying ur spec doesn't mean it's necessarily good
thanks for the huge wall of text, you are probably refering to the envenom bug i guess. but a 3-5% aura nerf is whats in my order book aswell... not that i would personally like it, but thats the reality i am finding myself in
But I also am I kinda foggy on SL enh ngl cause u played night fae and I lost interest
bruh, if you are at top by a good margin, nerfs will come
except if you are fire mage
like
what do you expect lol
why cant blizz release the nerf notes now so people can mentally prepare before tuesday :3
at least blizz rarely nukes specs anymore
bruuuuh
we should still be in the top half of dps
Cause this is Ravenholdt
Even if they posted it early people would overreact
For the entire week
take away externals and damage amps, we are probably well below sub, havoc, bm 😄
excuse me, the correct term is slowmode
the entire week of mentions lmaoooo
thats such a bad take
yes
yew
scheisssssssssse brudi man alter das ist doch kraaaaassssssssssssssssssss
ich weis alter, das ist voll neu
ist es schon wieder so weit?
when the assa channels turns into german, you know shit got real
!whispyr
I’m interested in your thought process behind this?

assa isnt only about external amps like PI and aug
the thing is, like 50% of the regulars here speak actual german xD
I'm aight
Sin a German spec fr fr
es ist sommerpause und deine familie hat kein geld. Was passiert? Der vater kommt ins zimmer um 06:00 und sagt komm jungs ab gehts nach südtirol
Das is guud
hello fellow germans 
what's that... like nein people
Geil
Still doesn’t make it “such a bad take” when it’s largely true due to how much we benefit from them vs no externals.
It’s not everything no but it’s a big majority
deine mutter
It's summer break and your family has no money. What happens? The father comes into the room at 6:00 a.m. and says come on boys, let's go to South Tyrol
im frowning upon you whispyr
bei mir kamm er nur mit dem gürtel und hat mir gesagt das ich eine Enttäuschung bin wegen ner 3 in Mathe 
its not enforceable but I am hitting you with the 🙁
Haven't reached my German arc of Duolingo yet
Definitely, but that doesnt mean we'll be below most of the other specs without them
or maybe thats just copium
idk
fuck dhs needing literally nothing to pop off
dunno why you'd think assa would get nerfed and not dh at the same time
then sub would be getting a hit too though
südtirol? naguura anschließen?
why would sub get hit
Yeh dh is a different beast.
The overall pve and pvp have been busted.
He only came to me with the belt and told me that I was a disappointment because of my C in math
man its fun translating these
sub's pretty stronk right now
das heist nigiri, gibts hauptsächlich in japan
sub is not nearly as good as assa/bm/dh
It’s baseline above assa. But this is all just pointless atm.
Blizzard will do what ever the hell they want regardless of the numbers 😂
mhhhh sushi
sub is ahead on one fight where its cds get lined up perfectly
Besser als Zigaretten holen zu gehen
and its still barely ahead
Aren't they also playing sub on fyrakk atm?
Smolderon right ?
yes
Yes with externals also. So it’s still warped
does sub highly rely on the orbs that buff you in smolderon ?
subs pretty good on the last 3 in raid
When looking at damage numbers do they look at wcl or do they track their own damage data? If so I’m really curious how it interacts with aug now, especially with how Aug just doesn’t work with so much rn on wcl esp for us as rogues
their own data
Why would blizzard use a third party website 😂😂😂😂
Buff outlaw 
Yeah figured they would but also wouldn’t be surprised if they looked at wcl as well
Their servers produce the log files we use.
Naa.
you can literally click the reply
it was a good read
thats good
Delete the wanna be single minded fury warriors. ☠️
you should try everbloom you only wipe the group like 5 times at the start
nah turn it into a tank spec
i am dying on that hill tho
I'm just a guy man
Why wouldn’t they? Ofc they have all the combat log stuff on there servers but ur just hurting yourself if you don’t compare ur data to the company who also does all that work for ur game for free, then what I’m really curious about like I said is all the aug voker hooks
mrrghlhlhlhl
any data wcl has blizzard has
My guy.
It’s the same data.
like all of that data comes from the blizard apl
I mean you guys are actually just all speculating when no one knows the answer
who cares
they have data they use to tune
actually i have the answer
i know the answer
who cares what they use or where it comes from
probably
my uncle's dad's cat's girlfriend works at bilzzard
DELETE THIS

that website needs to be banished forever
blizzard tunes off the "real dps" chart on noxxic
I love noxxic
does subcreation just aggregate based on runs
is it worth it to delay attacks in order to stay above 150 energy for sanguine blades?
Noxxic is extremely based
i have it on good authority that blizzard balances exclusively based on Dr. Atnos tier lists
if blizz based their tuning on that they would just nerf bm / ret paladin / druid every patch
Ahh when people thought noxxic was accurate.
chaining 4 piece procs is more important generally
With Aug hooks it’s not the same data
tyty
They don’t need hooks!
stop trying to steal shit from outlaw

first sub gets dreadblades now aug is stealing hook
We needed the hooks for logs they don’t 😂
ive been treating 150 energy as 0, guess thats bad?
?


trying to have close to as much uptime on sanguine as possible
where in any guide have you read that
how yall have 4pc already
never saw it particularly called out

vault, raid drop, catalyst, ksm token (so luck)
we clear 2.5 difficulties of the raid a week
you need 1 drop from raid, 1 from vault, 1 from omni, 1 from catalyst
ah.. luck, thats what i'm missing
There's also 1 catalyst charge and 1 token from M+ or AOTC so..
login babe its time for splits 
Roll well
meow for papa pleb
I got one from catalyst, one from token
meow
papa pleb gave me all the loot
and none from anywhere else
yea I used my catalyst charge and got a normal drop but oh well, KSM token unused yet because I'm not sure which piece in case I get lucky (lol if ever)
plebs little juicer
i got one from vault on myth thankfully and yoinked a token from fyrakk from our raid
i bought a curio for 170k off a random mage in a pug
which was my last piece for 4p
based
170k

before I sent the rest of my crests
it was literally my last chance this week
I'd pay 170k for 4pc no question
still using rings from last patch cus nothing dropped yet 
yup
so, considering I dont have 4pc, is 150 energy pool worth it or not 😄
Does the combat log just magically do it for them and take the dps damage away and give it the Aug when it goes to blizz?
Fella i don't think you understand how this works.
OUR logs come from blizzard
as in their server/api generates them for us to read
not the otherway around.
Blizzards API is far more advanced than any text file we have is. as it has to physically calculate that damage in the game.
Mood
how much sparks do we have rn?
2
They still see that Timmy’s shadow bolt did X amount of damage. It doesn’t magically tell them, actually he had a buff for the Aug so we’re going to automatically take away Y% from that shadow bolt
youll get a part from a boss or m+
do the reputation weekly
you've missed collecting half either last week or this one
or yeah the reputation weekly
do the weekly
i missed last week's weekly so i got one from M+
rep weekly is just harvest 5 seeds basically lol
hey guys, what’s the proper us of witherbarks branch? Do we have to kite one orb?
there u go
nice, ty!
With 4 set which talents are u guys recommend? Arterial Precision or Dragon-Tempered Blades ? I was playing arterial before 4 set
for m+?
yes
arterial till you're pushing 26+ keys probs
DTB needs a lotta kb uptime to be giga
got it ty
o7
So late D:
i mean even then idk. Arterial might just overall be better, just making an estimation based on what ive fucked around with in m+
DTB pretty rough if something can't live a KB
how am I meant to chain with tier set
but if you get to where a mob in every padck is living a full KB, definitely gonna do mad damage, just not sure if its actually better than arterial
you envenom with ~1 sec left on your envenom buff
thats ez
you do that until you're unable to do that, then wait for around 80% energy and go again
while doing the rest of your rotation, maintaining garrote and rupture, using cds etc
