I'm doing it through gear compare maybe I use Top Gear?
which one is good for new players
With Jeremy Clarkson
How much of your soul is left whispyr. Repeating yourself on patch launches for weeks and weeks
@balmy condor do we go for envenom chains when hovering below 150 energy?
Anyone else randomly being kicked out of Stealth?
or is it better to drop it and go for a fresh chian
!pooling
Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back
- If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
- Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
- Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
- With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
!stealthbreak
Stealth can break from:
- evoker leggo buff (Unbound Surge) dropping
- Essence trinket on buff gain
- Voice of the Silent Star (Sark cape)
- some mistweaver thing related to their statue
Assassination is just terrible in lower keys right
does RIO have issues currently? not refreshing for me
wouldn't say terrible
Thanks!
Wait are we casting on 4c now?
Maybe not terrible but u aint getting close to classes that just one shot packs
i read that, i was looking for clarification on "uncomfortable"
keep reading - With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine
uncomfortable means 0 energy and you're struggling to keep the envenom chain going
starved out of your mind
lmao
is there a FAQ on tier, or how you should play with it
3rd row of my chart
thank you
@balmy condor oh no
wowhead has a whole page dedicated to tier
hiya
hiya :3

!up
my only question with this is when you have to reapply dots during envenom chains, they seem to almost always drop the envenom buff unless u get good cp procs. also leading into a 2nd CD phase if ur chaining already before the CDS leading into them or just pool so u have the energy during them? (not opener but 2nd or 3rd etc. cds)
Does AD midas trinket have a correct way to play it or just on cd. It's physical dmg and can't think of any amplifier...
Yes on cd
i think u just want it while BTE buff is up at the very least
but other th an that on CCD
oh wait this is assassin
chat
nvm
Just make sure it doesnt screw over your other on-use for deathmark
When they gonna nerf dh 😄
Don’t nerf anything just buff everyone else
They are not doing that everyone knows
I find that other sin rogues get more oomph out of their kings bane. It's only lethal poison applied that increase its dmg. That's rng based lethal poison on the blades and envenoms right?
that's not how balance works
anyone know what the strat is for envenom chains when ur coming up on a 2nd or 3rd etc. CD phase? do u want to already be chaining the envenoms before it or just let it fall off so you can pool and start with a fresh envenom going into the CD phase?
yes
chaining is independant of anything else, you don't factor in cooldowns
The wep off of first boss in the raid, which dream is the best to keep?
so its ok to go into a 2nd or 3rd CD phase with almost no energy?
Would higher haste rouges naturally have better kingsbanes on average?
gotcha
none of them do shit pick whatever you feel like
What does ur average kingsbane bang out boys
yes
I go with the 10% leech one for dreamcarver
Ty
ty
i always finish on 5 or 6 cp when i refresh rupture, as for seconds cd's i just pool normally, and if im low that's what the extra tea carges are for
I remember assas rogue on bfa with tone of haste
guys, did blizzard increase the proc rate of sockets/tet stats?
no
it feels like i get way more socketed items or leech/avoidance procs

whispyr said to not pool going into CD phases tho, to just treat envenom chains independantly on their own so u could be like nearing empty energy on like a 5-6 etc. envenom chain as ur going into ur CD phase
and by this i mean 2nd or beyond obviously not opener
Blizzard doesn’t balance they just nerf. They rarely decide to meet in the middle.
yeah but we have 3 charges of tea, only one of which we are holding for the end of kb (1 min recharge) so those 2 other charges are dynamically used to solve this problem
ah ok. so just save at least 1 tea for the <6 second on kingsbane pop
Rather, they overnerf and then nerf whatever’s on top after that
looking at logs I'm hovering between around 1.7 mil average cast across all pulls on igira prog
Critter buff bis don’t lie
simply not true but okay
You’re right I’m grossly exaggerating. I take back what I said.
Understandable, have a nice day
question, while in starters i usualy go with garrot and rupturing as much as i can then i go for mutilate then kingsbane for high caustic spatter then crimson tempest, then envenom after, do i envenome sooner then pop kingsbane?
would want to crimson tempest after you kingsbane/deathmark
gotta get the cds out so they have time to tick
oh gawd its whispyr herself
him
oh, him mb
all good :P the confusion happens pretty often
too cute of a dp, ur own damn fault
ok so when do i pop envenome? after kingsbane or before it? cuz i feel like it would make somewhat of an impact on its damage
before
born a real bitch
you always want to envenom -> shiv -> kb
no mutilate> kingsbane for caustic spatter?
fuck you at least I don't play stinky classes like paladin and lock
oxi alts 
spatter is just a debuff you maintain, there's no specific timing on that
dog you barely play the game at all
470 havin ass



no no i mean i found out mutilate+ kingsbane does good damage on caustic spatter
I mean
yeah?
caustic spatter causes kingsbane to cleave
maintain the debuff and it'll do good things
so i envenome first then do those
what
apply your dots, envenom shiv kb
throw a mutilate somewhere in there
i just wanted to get the highest caustic damge possible on kingsbane
yeah, you do that by just doing a good kingsbane
you mutilate/ambush once, it applies caustic for 10 seconds
you leave it alone
refresh whenever
okay I give up on fall, I tried helping roujin get his nick of time
and I already want to uninstall the game
2nd boss?
garrote - > garrote - > rupture - > fok - > rupture - > mutilate - > envenom - > shiv - > kb
and you're golden
I'm just over it, I've spent more time in galakronds fall than I have with my family this week
oh haha
perfection
thank you
it can be more nuanced than i put there, but it'll get you alot of the way
whats the difference between nerfing assa to do the same damage as other classes, or buffing other classes to do the same damage as assa? other than one of those options requires 1 set of tunings, the other requires 20+?
i see your point and i raise you vault of the incarnates
they did both
not all at once
the buffs to other classes didnt happen for another few weeks after the rogue nerfs
not disagreeing with you btw
but ye i mean, assa got overnerfed in vault, think we can all agree on that
I was upset about something else and spoke not from a place of knowledge but frustration. I admitted I grossly exaggerated and took back what I said 🤙
Heya pal! The name's Mizzen, and I hear you're pretty good at findin' stuff.
See, I've been playin' this new game called Warcraft Rumble but I'm fresh outta coins.
How about we meet up and I'll tell you where to find some?
wow. someone who admits they made a mistake and isnt mad about it. youre precious. lets keep them before outlaw/sub get their hands on them

Hey there, glad you could make it!
You gotta check out this machine!
if I stole the things you did to me I'd have to involve HR
me
@stuck knoll I'd like to file an HR complaint against Seli
i lost my RL HR position cause i made a joke to a co worker
a joke in the workspace? idiot
don't make jokes or have a sense of humour

duck HR
Feel free to bring that sweet ass to my office
BRO?

you are both welcome
at the same time?


can whispyr come?
if you try hard enough
i bring the ice, who brings the butter and camera?

Wait is your HR complaint about the Mizzen thing
because that's too funny to complain about
right now I wish Zine would've banned me accidentally instead
Literally have a camera in my hand rn so
huh
My HR complaint is about Seli harassing my friend Whispyr
how
is he not doing it enough?
you cant file a complaint about smth you dont know happened
that's the complaint right
sexually
i dont see the problem
(yes)
fair enough
that could be anyone
also its a lie


no such thing has occurred
okay is today saturday or sunday
Saturday
we're hitting shadow dance before we press kingsbane, right?
oh thank god
Sunday
sadturdday
quiet man from the underside of the earth
how is Sin doing in M+?
It's pretty good
quite good
4:20
you think thats why its called that?
cause people have depressing poops on this day?

THIS

what the fuck is wrong with you
a health condition ive had all my life bro
seli doesnt waste anything in his food
in opener, after garrote, do we get rupture up first or SnD up first?
no poop needed
don't make it real
how am I supposed to be mean when you make it real
SnD, cus normaly you only use it once in the entire dungeon
you can have some of mine if you want


so i only poop 1-2x a week 
are they like
Wtf
epic turds?
That's insane

From your guys' sim xp, what's typically the upgrade prio for BIS pieces? MH nick > branch > sand glass?
eh, atleast im done with m+ now
like, i do a everbloom 20 now for the last portal, and thats it, only weekly vault from now
top gear has a function which shows which will tell you what the biggest gain is
!up
Sorry
Imagine having to poop every time you eat tho
my brain fried mid way through that
I know - just away from my pc and have yet to sim it lol. Was wondering if there was a clear prio
what did you bonus roll on this week @gusty mirage

someone said this would work, did i get lied to or ?
#showtooltip
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast Kingsbane
that does work, yes
why isnt it working 😭
make sure you are not inside a gcd
idk, my metabolism is fucked beyond belief, so i woudlnt even know what eating daily is
so, sims say run branch plus crab, but is sandglass viable too?
maybe that's the problem
not eat every day
no poop every day
math checks out

did you guys know, when you lose weight, you don't shit it out, you breathe it out
not in a gcd its just broken idk
my metabolism is like
binge eat 4 burgers at 4am, eat way too much in genereal
->underweight

I just hit a dummy with that macro and it worked fine
im just gonna restart maybe my shit is borked
contributes certainly, but nah, its just the way my body works. im weird in many ways. i also have an extra set of bones that form a joint, right above my shoulders. so maybe i shouldve had a third arm, who knows
if you're under the age of 25.. GL keeping that up kek
assa finally starting to click, got my first top overall damage in a key
im 26
yeh branch+anything passive
could i do the same macro but like deathmark + shiv?
i turned 23, and put on 20 kg doing nothing different
Thanks
those are 2 spells with gcd's, so no
tbf, im also doing a somewhat physical work, so that helps burning some stuff
try it at 30 and you will cry haha
cut out 500 calories and i've lost 5 kg in a month

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
did you not get your 3 bonus rolls?
I bonus rolled AP
lol
unfortunate
can i bonus roll the chest in galakrond's?
I have 6 of them you want one?
yes pls
done
I have like 50 of the leech pants and I ran with a druid last night who was trying to get them
the trick is go just for the dagger
felt bad bro
but it'll be a waste, cause ima get one in my vault
and you'll get like 18 of everything else
there was one major downside of farming fall... the dh tank didn't need the sword he got, so i accidentally got a heroic sword... so i can technically spec outlawe
oh yeah I'm taking m+ score very seriously
looks perfect fuck those two places
tott is actually piss weak this week
tott pretty fun
except totem boss
i am 58 io from finishing M+
fuck rise
all my homies hate rise
if the dagger was from rise id cry
id pray to my vault every tues
as well designed as triumvirate
lmfao
maybe that guy was like I KNOW WHAT TO DO
if the dagger was from rise, i'd be maining a mage
I'd rather do seat of the triumvate
and seat was the biggest piece of shit ever designed
rise would be fine, if the sand covered room didnt exist
for purely dungeon gaming double BSL is better right?
as if it wasn't egregious enough that both the trash and the bosses all suck balls, but you get the sand room
AND a gauntlet
for funsies
yea
i had someone leave their own key today
Rise is the hottest of dogshit
50% trash slog before the first boss
which is an intermission + shield boss
that takes like 6 minutes
bro imagine playing outlaw for a second (I know I know)
and having the entire thing that makes it fun in m+ ruined by the portals
lmao
followed by 3 fuckin lieutenant dragons and a MAZE 
wait what is the entire thing
UHUH

the portals just brick the entire talent's power
lol
bro that's fucked, those portals already make me angry cause it drops my fucking focus target
mannnn i'm gonna be puttin in some sub work tuesday
it really is though
absolutely hot ass garbage
like that shithole makes me miss tazavesh
I'd rather do lower karazhan week 1 tyran
when maiden's shield was like 300% of her health pool
kara was so easy too - but my god did people fail at mechanics there like for months
is it better or worse than "the megalode"
wait what was the name of that dungeon
yu're talking the one with gnomes right
err goblins
the BFA one
you've bricked my memory with "magalode"
where the strat was to have 90% trash before first boss
Motherlode
ahh yea hah
motherlode was a banger
i must have just been a noob at the time
s4 it just got super boring
cause you spent like 80% of your time pulling the trash at the beginning
and then obelisk skipping everything
the nice thing about motherload was if you messed up that first set of pulls you could just end it there
I was a noob in wow for Zul'Gurub and magtheridon's lair
and re-go
was a quick success or failure
all i knew / thought of of wow until 2018 was why tf would i play a game with pandas
because all i saw about it was the panda artwork
Faction changed from belf to Nelf.
Did a 15 EB
Best overall i've had in a key
Trinket drops to DH
DH trades me the trinket
is this Night elf perks?
Funny how placing a race that you enjoy more makes you do more dmg and have more fun huh
i do more dmg as undead than i would as human

I had one nelf back in the day - a warrior. I felt it was like too tall or something
anyone know what kush plaiying on proggres? he is not playing deeper stratagem
Stealth animation from blood elf/void elf gives 10% dmg increase
bro the best minigame
can I macro the dreamcarver use so that it automatically activates when I press Envenom? I have 2 dreamcarvers both in main and offhand
how many flips can i do in a row
oh yeah belf female, best stealth walk.
goblin - worst stealth walk
dreamcarver is not a dps ability
you can, but you don't want to because that isnt how it works
no reason to macro it
fml im 50 dps away from simming 210k
prob lethality CB. he doesnt have deeper or alacrity
oh I okay, thank you
or maybe that! yeah acro seems nice on that fight
That is what he is running
bruh 50 is within margin of error, just run it again
yeah prob.
Can always check this
acro seems quite good here
No like it is 100%
youre 100%
too late I saw the typo
hi guys, for single target pve, assassination is the best option? or subtetly?
idk why he stopped playing sub in first place, he is not doing that much dps now

Am I really that cheap 
guys, should o focus on multi doting with garrote and rupture on all adds on extra pull or caustic spatter ?
@silk bane
ily
at this point should I even use my mark of mastery or wait until tuesday to see if i get some kind of tier piece in my vault lol
I'd just wait to see what you get in vault
I made 30% more damage using Subtetly but I don´t know why people keep saying that assassination is better for ST pve, what can you say?
- we get another catalyst charge on reset
oh so we'll have 2 catalyst charges so in reality it wont matter what's in my vault right

its better if youre getting simped
because it is
assassination gets the 2nd most dps from power infusion
sub does not
fair to macro branch to deathmark or am i trolling?
that acro lose is still kinda huge
if you don't get PI you can play whatever spec you want
ily more oxi 
Branch WA, anyone? wanna test it out
losing dps everytime i resim lmao
What do you mean?
doesn't it also really need trinkets to giga pop off like if RNG hates you and you dont have branch assass isn't even substantially better right?
yeah you want to macro it with DM
PI+augvoker
in my raid, my goal is to beat the people who are getting pi
Yea but I guess it is not that bad on the aoe
With lethality
it's legit just down to PI
lol maybe you were already at that UPPER limit lol
add a socket and resim it, I won't tell anyone it'll be our secret
Sub is fun - i just don't think I could pound away at a boss for 2 hours as sub, like i could sin
shwoosh shwoosh, shwash, shwoosh shwoosh, wckchtka
but - you just dont know (from the sim) how much you're picking back up from having acro
!restealth
Long In-depth explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
https://youtu.be/DoZDPFk_Zog
The TLDW (I understand, it's LONG):
- Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
- This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths
- You still have vanish and in 10.2, shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
single target pve?
what´s the two top rogues sub and assa, who has more dps?
yeah
restealths fuck u now because of indescriminate carnage
cant change my mind on that
Getting alt boosted on some 18+'s, which top 3-4 dungs should I be spamming? Got 4x leather trading friends
Everbloom and doti lower. You want trinkets and dagger
And everbloom has a bunch of leather slots
3rd-4th dung?
dht has big ring/neck
There are no 3rd 4th dungeons
wow, thank you
found gain gg
lmao nice neck
from that page, you don´t know if those talents are for raid or mythic, don´t you?

thats for raid
if i should wait to see vault to make a tier piece from the omnitoken, how does assass look like if I want to learn it with season 2 4pc? Is it the same playstyle
aug in the dirt where it belongs
ok I´m gonna try change form subtetly I´ve been playing for 2 years, what advice would you give for the rotation?
whoops didnt mean to reply sorry lol
plays the exact same, you just want to be more mindful of pooling energy
but realistically, just blast as if you had the new tier set
ok
cause you'll eventually have it anyway
Kush is playing 5cps Acro over Deeper Stratagem on Fyrakk
who said Acro can't compete with damage talents 
yeah i just wanna learn this spec or sub, done with outlaw for now that playstyle is boring af
thanks big g
the people who said that don't understand that there's more to damage than what raidbots says

collect 2 orbs, and collect the third 4-7s after you collect the 2nd
!Thanks

I wish I could ask that question
https://wago.io/q7bHLuILp Lisonna's WA for it is nice
makes a little noise when you collect the orbs
so you don't have to stress trying to see where the orbs are, once you hear two ploops, run to the right or left a little
and you're chilling
Aye definitely
I actually like the trinket because
are nicks and timeglass from fall or rise?
well he use to destroy those meters in sub before too 😄
You just have to move in the general vincinity of an orb then plant your feet and pretend you are Witherbark
Put your arms in the air
and wait for the orb bloop
ur a thirsty rogue
then move, plant your feet again
fall
did he drop DS in sub too?
@gusty mirage do you do sub coaching?
Hahah yeah sounds pretty fun
homie you don't want me to coach anything 
sub play acro as best option
you'd get more benefits just chatting with fuu than getting my stupid ass trying to explain anything
rip struggling with understanding shadowdust cds timing lmao
good news though, is stealthi has all the dust timings and is working on putting them up on the method guide soon
and when I double check the ones I have I'll put them in the IV guide
yeah but it plays both acro and DS right?
@slate crown is there a setting to remove the bar and make it show 2 curved lines around my character instead ? Which shows the direction of each ball. i saw zerocool use that WA
Wait am i?
are you not?
it does, it drop tea and vigor
yes i am

you can see the settings in the custom options page, but no. Can you show me what zerocool is using because you cannot, afaik, track ball direction in a weakaura
i just woke up from 12 hours of pure bliss
Unless they're just hard-coded lines
sec im asking him
YOU SLEPT?
passed out, would be more accurate
why am i still awake, it's real hours now
I'm not sure what that helps either, you know the placement of balls is always a Y shape from yourself when they spawn, unless there's some tech I'm unaware of to literally track their location
Zero thought i wanted to give him a weak aura and now he started a key and wont read the chat for 30 mins 
good thing is since you mentioned this, you have forced my hands to now actually get it done instead of procrastinating while watching Jack Ryan
He read the phrase wrong
Guys a question, I should envenom on 4 or more CP, right? Why the Pooling practice is saying to envenom on 5?
I mean I can go look
im making sure if its from Zero or Musclebrah sec
but it was slick
Oh
I like LE sound and timer info but if it was combined with this one graphically it would be nice I think
That one isn't tracking locations it's just guessing
Ye
is there a WA to help us time this?
I'll eventually check logs for my timings
or just steal yours

hi what a good Embellishment?
What you guys preferred for this week? Posion bomb with DTB or zoldyck?
for method, mythic probably. I'm going with heroic
What I like about this one is it shows you time to pick up the orb
Makes it easier than guestimating like I've been doing although I got it down pretty well now
Can I see sudden demise in details?

doesnt feel like it does anything for me 😄
Although yes it's just guessing orb locations
But the display of 3 2 1 orbs left and glowing when to get it is quite good
Yeah with the timer
I would combine it with the sound and timer info from LE
I don't think you need the circle
Just the 3 dots, sound when you pick up an orb
And records when you hit it like 1/1/7 or not
It's not a simple setting
It's not a setting
Does anyone know how to make the circle color darker? just to be able to see it better in fight
You would need to code and combine these 2 WA
Guys do I use envenom with 4 or 5 cp? I'm kinda dumb.
I can look into doing that, it kind of messes with the structure of my overall pack
but If having the dots would help that's something I can look to do
yeah i think thats the best part
Also this one has hard-coded durations specific to rogue pickup times
the only interesting part about that other wa
Hello, im trying to get used to ass rogue right now, guides show that I need to keep my dots 100% uptime yes good. but i have a problem... there are so many dots popping up on top of plater i cant figure out waht is what.. can someone help me with a good plater or another better solution if possible? thanks
Also, with Wither, we use after Deathmark, right? Still using the 1/1/7 rule?
Which is something I specifically wanted to avoid doing because not only rogues use the trinket

With DM, 1/1/5-1/1/9 all seem roughly equal
but yeah a lot of people use it
thanks!
using raid dance talent... there a way to get Acrobatic strikes?
probably drop deeper strat
Maybe add a custom option of orb pickup times
So u can add 1/1/9 if u want
Yes, things get dicey with custom timers and thresholds because you can't do conditions based on them as direct timers
It's a whole thing
so I have to create a bunch of C_Timer objects which I can do (and have done in other auras), it's just not a simple addition
You've gotta realize that the "recomended builds" are the builds that math out to be the best. If you have intracacies and/or need to fine-tune, you're kinda on your own to "min/max / theorycraft" (or look at logs to collect data and make some decisions).
Not sure I'll have time today but I will look into it, have some ideas on it
Lol wat
I think he's saying he has to create his own variables or objects and make them do the time stuff?
@dark token is there a way to disable the circle in that WA?
i just want the orb tracker lol
the orb graphic
Bruh it's not my WA I don't have it downloaded
Does anyone know how to reduce hte lag on tindral when root spwans? D:
oh
Hide nameplates
I tried running without plater but it didn't work
There is a memory leak
Maybe someone smarter than me could write a script to remove those roots completly
Unless I want every-frame triggers, which, yeah, do not want 😛
hello does anyone know why echo and liquid raider using ashes of embersoul over the everbloom branch? is it just because it is easier to concentrade on mechanics with embersoul?
That's probably the answer
or they didn't have time to farm it
but supposedly jpc has a branch in his bags ( i dunno )
kush has both ... i saw branch in his inventory
maybe it just more consistently delivers the desired results
there's some fuckery sometimes with those orbs from branch honestly
i mean for me if i think about it 7k agi looks like more then 5-6k mastery :o
I think I need a video or visuals for better explanations of pooling and ability priority. Reading Whispyr's WoWhead guide has been insightful, but I need more. Is there anything like that someone has made 😊
yeah but there's math, with its depletion
whereas in a "perfect world" you have that mastery for the final ticks of KB

Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back
- If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
- Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
- Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
- With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use

what has everyone been using? I've been using Beast
also i see kush using vanish kingsbane and shadow dance at end of kingsbane? what is the difference of it? more of last hits using the master assassin there?
yeah beast
the mv speed is a contender
if he's desyncing dance and kingsbane he's doing it wrong
but shadow dance also gives master assassins crit rate
what talents does kush play he has only 5cp 
and vanish also gives nighstalker dmg
30% crit chance vs 10% damage amp to the entire kingsbane dot
How is this, visually, on the bar look? Obvious to see on the side? Plan to add colors and remove them and such, but just what I could put in for the visual quickly
I dunno why they vanish > KB -- then dance with 6 remaining - i don't even know how it maths out - but i assume whispyr tested that.
it's like 1% worse playing it that way
wrong since he vanish kingsbane he also gets the 10% but instead of last 3 sec of 30% crit he gets 6 sec
If the difference was big enough, i think whispyr's guides would reflect it
gotcha 👍
okay then he's still doing it wrong
I'm constrained because this is in my pack with a bunch of other bars that can stack vertically on top, so I don't have space to expand in above and below for my pack
why is it that wrong? 🤔
because it does less damage
cause then he desyncs his cds
Could be fight specific also, maybe there's a mechanic going on at 2 min
Guys when should I use Thistle tea outside of the 6sec KB When I have like 50% energy?
thats actually way better. im looking for the lightest option
you'd use it (not under the KB window) if you are about to cap on charges (hit 3) - or if the fight is coming to an end and you need energy....or a damage burst window is a good place as well.
Other than that - use it when you feel like it 
got it. ty
K, yeah I won't have time until later this evening to put the event hooks in, but I think this will also help the number clarity because right now a set of numbers on both ends of the bar can be confusing
cause sometimes i'm just like "ya know what, i want some thistle tea right now" - and guess what i do...i use up charge.
when DH nerfs
No rush, but do let me know once you do it because ill definitely be grabbing yours
Is there an ideal secondary stat distribution for our crafted belt with toxic patch (assuming other slots are bis), or is it just up to Sims?
just sim it. all the stats are very close together, with mastery being better most of the time
Kk ty; just wondering what might be the safest so I don't have to worry about recrafting it
"What stats do I pick when I can pick them on equal ilvl?" => 2 options, a fast one and a slightly slower one:
- Sim it, this is the correct path.
- Just pick whatever you want out of haste/mastery/crit. It's probably close enough given our weights. This is faster but might be very, very slightly less output
can you help me with few wa that helps in key ?
holy damn, from no branch to branch i got 7k dps in dungeonslice
at 449, your dmg is GONNA seem bad
i used to go with the second talents
i do around 80-100k dps depends on how my procs are
13k here
gonna check ST
i rarely do 100k
mostly 85k
I mean it's gonna be tough - like switching talents (between the recomended builds) isn't gonna magically "perfect" your numbers. If you've got fundamental errors in one place, you're gonna have em in another.
Maybe make sure you're following the logic in the guides/rotation and get back with any specific questions.
Other than that, logs and/or videos.
i didn't pass 300k dps on aoe or pass it few times
yeah that's very tough without context - but 300k dps sounds damn good to me on a pack
nobody playing orbs mini game on race sadge
yeah you're not gonna
if the tank doesn't pull chain
Honestly, the best measure - is how you are stacking up against the other two dps in your actual party. Because conditions differ.
speaking of chain pulls
next week, despite it being fortified, is going to be worse than this one because we have shades
and they keep you in combat
so you cant restealth
rip
Is it worth it to let garrote drop for a few seconds to reapply during sdance? or reapply early?
okay, so it's better to clip than let it drop?
What is the secret of this? 🙂 How can i achieve this?
damn i just simmed difference between picking orbs optimaly (117) and very poorly (111) is 5k dps for me
I have hard time understanding how dungeon logs work tbh. I usually do good dps but my logs are shit
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
In who's math does this add up to 600,000 damage taken
ok
so there's just damage getting taken that the addon picks up but the actual combat log just doesn't show
ur looking at points lol
what is ur question
lol yeah that's literally just a color system of how high of a key he did right?
yes
thats what im confused abouit
dont even look at dungeon logs for DPS either that shit is bogus lol
i mean parse %s sorry not logs
That's why i said i don't understand how dungeon logs work.Thanks for making it clear for me
SHeesh lol
is my build correct for m+ ? im having big problems with energy xd
i feel like this cata trinket is a fcking bait guys 😄 you tested it? what alternative would you use as passive?
sandglass
from fall
so no pip?
how much of a gain is it to take the last branch orb at 7 seconds instead of taking it instantly ?
pips good too
like 0.4%
or something
It's higher than that
pickup times
so would i be trolling if i took them all instantly ?
so that is saying what, worst case 1.9%?
both seem way worse no?
Oh amazing
Actually
Too small of an increase
HI guys, i've got that Cruel dreamcarver dagger. What mob should i use for the buff?
This doesn't have 1/1/1 because that would mean your end of kingsbane would not have the buff
which I specifically skipped testing because why
I think someone simmed that and it was 5%?
that worst case
is basically impossible to achieve
yeah it's not good, that's why I excluded it
!restealth
Long In-depth explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
https://youtu.be/DoZDPFk_Zog
The TLDW (I understand, it's LONG):
- Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
- This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths
- You still have vanish and in 10.2, shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
without some effort
i dont think you could instantly pick them all up anyway - cause there are 3
and each is like a sec or two away?
yeah in any realistic scenario
!dagger most take mech or beast
so yeah - basically cast it, take 3 steps...and forget you ever casted it
but its not damage, its utility so pick what you like
and the most you will lose is 1.9%
I'd say if using that strategy, just err on the side of "if you have to kite, move a bit further away"
so you at least have 3 stacks at KB finale
who is this?
Zerocool
do keys for 30 hours a day

First when i got the dagger i thought i needed to include it into my rotation so i macroed it into my KB macro lol
Do you know if Kush cooked some build without Deeper Strat or does he just not show 6th cp @balmy condor
he dropped deeper for acro

Dragonkin is bis
Kush acro gaing - rise up
ngl Kush's build is laid back af
that 2 sec on envenom is time to just chilllllll
can't say it's recommendable
but if you lookin to chill
!dagger
I had been wondering about this (I didn't see him do this, I just was doing sims on myself) and dropping deeper wasn't that far behind, and dropping tea feels bad for acro because of energy management, I may try it, though 5 CP is also going to feel weird, not sure if bad, but weird
fryakk is just too bad fight for branch
there is movment in cds
so you either pick up orbs asap or you leaving one behind
same on tindral
Why tho? We can send at 4 and usually do
So i can totally figure out kushs reasoning
Why tho what? Why would 5 CP feel weird?
Yeah
yeah that ones fine, I think he's also playing ttk
I know for sure you're not still bitching about this
i do
Because I've been playing with 6+ CP for like, a very very long time? Lol it's just that it would feel diff from what I'm used to
MY CP bar to me (whether there's 5 or 6 max [or 7]) - I just send it when the bar itself turns green anyway.

You don't care that you have 4 - just that you're at a place to spend.
I see Speed on method always sending on 6-7
guess he doesn't feel like using 4 lol
I don't think 4-5 maths that much different? (I could be wrong)
I don't think i'd say the same for 5-6 though (for sin)
@slate crown Thanks for the aura, it's really good. One question, can I make my ambush glow on my screen when I have a blindside proc? I can't seem to find an option to show it
*like as a MIN-sender
he is.
he is beast
yeah that's fucking cooked
Anyone got any tips i have problem controling my energy
So, ambush procs don't involve reacting to them anymore. I used to have it as popup icon but it was getting a bit intrusive given that it doesn't involve changing a button push. I instead made it so that the Energy Bar glows when you have blindside, because now what Blindside effectively does from your gameplay perspective is mean "Your next builder is free", so the energy bar glow reflects that.
After playing with it for a bit, however, the glow is a bit subtle, I may release another version with the glow a bit brighter. If you want to make it a different, brighter color, you can find it in the Energy bar aura, under Resources -> Resource Bars. The glow in Glow 1 is the Blindside glow, you can open up the options and change the Custom Color if you'd like. I may make it brighter in the future

So... does he just not use CT at all? focus on spamming envenom uptime for tier procs?
took me 71 runs, time to get drunk and delete this game
Grats!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm REALLY dumb, sry. Didn't knew that Mutilate changed to Ambush automatically. Just noticed after you said here. Nevermind then. You aura is godly then. lol
Thanks for your hard work!

who let this man cook
you don't take CT on fyrakk
no, that's kush's build for fyrakk
Oh... that's uh..
No worries! Yeah watch the energy bar to see for when BS procs happen
now i’m curious what he ran as sub
but I heard dropping sim dps for acro is bad or something
@balmy condor can you help me please with some wa’s that can helpe me with tracking things in m+ ? I already have a tracker for caustic spatter, any more useful things ?
kush is build different, he feelcraft and play what he wants and still blast like a beast
its almost like 2-3% dps is fuck all in the grand scheme of things
HEY WOAH
perfecto is surely great player but you can see skill diff there
when in return you get more uptime
WOAH
surely
same as jpc and other rogue
Kush is basicly Fragnance "little brother" pumping af with rogue and dh
okay first off
its always gap
put some respect on exile's name
there's been pulls where exile was dumpstering jpc
im sorry im not really familiar with liquid players
Does Deathmark's increased damage apply to already applied Garrotes/Ruptures, or do I need to reapply them immediately after Deathmark?
Sweet, one less thing to think about
holy shit
im 27 in no weap
excuse me I was locked in a cage
i got two 2 out of 3 runs but using only one since i got mythic dagger
despite all your rage?
but than i did 30dhts for neck
must be nice
no rat here
havent even seen one
illinois isn't THAT bad

i did like 100 dungeons overall i thgink
it's the midwest it all sucks
and still dont have midas or crab
different levels homie
i got midas in like 2 runs
we are doing smolderon nextr week and i need my midas
ohio isn’t actually a state. they don’t count
or im playing branch with emberosul
true
id live in Ohio for you
I love you too much to ever do that to you
start with Indiana
Does it matter if I kingsbane or death mark first?
what has Indiana jones done?
something with a few k’s
deathmark first to not use a gcd in kb
Ok so not good but doesn’t completely cuck my damage
If a branch recommendation is 1/1/7, it means cast, 1s, pickup orb, 1s, pickup orb, 7s, pickup orb.
However, if someone misses orb 1, and orb 1 is therefore delayed an extra second, ideally they'd pick up both orb 1 and orb 2 at the same time right? Like missing orbs shouldn't push back the entire timer each time. Just sanity checking because if I'm adding Dots to the branch aura, I need to consider the possiblity someone is late, and how to handle it. I am like 90% confident that the answer is Dont Delay. In which case I would want to anchor pickup times (as they regard to changing the dot color) based on the cast time and not the time-since-last-orb
only issue with orbs for me is sometimes i cant see in raid and than i need to overfocus lookin for them
i was sleeping !
How much of a dps loss is it to just pick up all three branch trinket orbs at once
is Writherbark a simbait?
it is fine the imporant thing is total uptime and pick up of last orb
it make it not worth to play over embersoul
they always last 20 secs in the wild and 10 secs on buff
atleast with my gear
cool thing about branch is when 4 dps use it and u have a bazillion balls floating around lmao
470 sims +6k dps over my embersoul and signet brand 483
possible
It's not simbait, when played correctly it's really good
its not simbait but somewhat hard to play optimaly on heavy movments fights like trindral or fryak
so ur saying 470 writherbark is better than 483 embersoul?
why is all RWF raiders playing embersoul then?
Branch new beacon
is assassin the new meta for mythic+ ? or should i keep running outlaw for now?
when kush was playing branch on tindral he just pick it up 1/1/1 as there is no time to delays
all rogue specs are good in m+ do whatever you want
