what
I do shock blindside vr
AP and energy issues i dont have them because of that build LOL. well i dropped the poison bomb one because it felt trash in low keys and no energy on top
skrill issue
oh man someone blocked said something
can a raider help me for my spatter on 1st boss heroic help me? does spatter dmg gets reduced if my main target has got a DR? otherwise i dont know how to help on the adds effectively
Hi, I would like to get some help. I would like to improve in raids but I don't know what are the major issues I make. If I link here our log, can anyone check it for me?
Don’t target the boss during his phase
fuck this game
mydas aint bad
buying Assa lessons
Do you guys refresh rupture during first SD?
im simming for 90k dps and doing 45k at most :V
Refresh it with your vanish at the end of your burst
only refresh gar in SD
And in general rupture is finisher at 4cp? Or just envenom for set?
Just press your buttons and manage your window better.
Thanks! i bet ill do 30m dps now
Jokes aside, managing your pooling can help a lot
general rup is just so it doesn't fall off so you can keep CS up
Whispyr is cracked, read one of their rotation guides for help on your burst window
oki ill try, it seems like a complex dps spec coming from a healer lol
also ew melee, but its fun
it is but coming from disc it’s a little similar in the sense of managing your timings is incredibly noticeable the better you get
It really isn't when you look at what is required. Just have to make sure your brain doesn't sputter or else you lose a decent chunk of damage.
Order of operations can change your final dose by a decent chunk
Yeah, with 45k dps you’re definitely doing something fundamentally wrong. I’d make sure my uptimes on rupture and garrote are solid, remember to shiv and tea during KB windows, and I’d watch Whispyrs video on pooling.
wafting twice or wafting 1 and sophic the other?
yup i bet, just like yulon ramps with MW haha, just gotta learn the spec, i literally just used a boost for the lols (from the pre purchase) so i dont even know what half my buttons do
ez rep
If that's the situation you're in, works on uptimes like everyone is saying
I’d sim it, I personally use x2 wafting bc I feel like it’s a little better for sustain on ST, but you’ll get more dps from Sophic if you’re not having energy issues
I’ve found coming from arms/ret, I can’t really just mash my buttons. Like B said, your order of operations is incredibly important
and that’s where I’m finding enjoyment in the spec
someday I will see my KB pump
well if you wanna button mash you just press the activate other spec button
well, i just realized i didnt even have poisons applied on my weapons 😛
so i guess thats something i was doing "terribly wrong" hehe
tuned into LordPetey for rogue stuff, he’s playing boomkin 
my brother in Christ how did you press envenom and not notice
homie bout to str8 pump
they were just warming up 😎
Can someone help me out here I've got 50% mastery and 45% crit how tf am I still doing less than my 30% vers outlaw. Is it just bad APL?
I even simmed upgrading my nick of time to max

I had some goofy macro playing arms last season that kept putting me in defensive. I was wondering why my dps was so low until I checked logs and saw 80% uptime on def stance 
thats not how stats work

I simmed haste etc but it doesnt actually increase it
I know that if one stat is low the benefit of the others is lower too
if im focused on the M+ grind is the dagger from the infinite dungeons a good choice?

I'm not sure what you're asking
like
you're simming two different specs
and one is higher
and your assumption is that the apl is bad
@keen spruce why does it burn when I urinate
How to summon whispyr:
I hit the 60% mastery 40% crit stats breakpoint that sin needs to scale but my outlaw sim still sims higher wtf?
Because the gear drops I got are mostly mastery and in terms of single target assassination should be simming better no?
chlamydia
Whilst my outlaw isnt very optimized
hmmm. time to sim. a heroic track pip or a mythic track ring of contempt
no
outlaw sims very high (whether that translates to real world dps or not is a separate question)
fuckign dagger man. jesus give me a max one in vault
It don’t
sounds like a skill issue
I'm trying to say that if I have 60% mastery and 0% haste obviously I sim less
with your outlaw or assas sims being different
Then what does
the fact that they're different specs
ilvl is higher on assassination too
and do different amounts of damage
Sin and outlaw have the same variance 
Well
Right and since they do different damage why can I not compare them using sims
?? xd
well you did. and outlaw is doing more
Only sub is slightly lower (but not by a lot)
You can’t just compare 1:1 with two stats. There’s other stats involved as well
idk where we're getting tripped up here
In m+ if you start your kingsbane window and then your tank chains, is it worthwhile to spend one spender on CT or just keep envenoming
I'm not even comparing 1:1 I'm comparing builds not stats
Then don’t bring in % of stats.
^
are we still simming nightly?
I only brought it in cause it doesnt show on the sim screenshot
^
Yeah, because it doesn’t matter.
"how tf am I still doing less than [] outlaw"
The computer is trying out different combinations of gear you assign it. It doesn’t think of %.
because that's just kinda how it works when you compare two specs
Outlaw sims higher for you. What more explanation do you need
one is gonna do more and one is gonna do less
i'm not sure where we're losing the plot here
https://gyazo.com/e5c09b03b81183f65a08adb6c53df522 i definitely go pips here right? for reference i have one piece of tier but both charges and aotc coin for tier left too so could technically make 4 pc but on champion gear
My explanation is what can I do to make sin sim higher
People get obsessed with “breakpoints” like that’s a real thing
get more gear
ilvl
higher than outlaw or higher in general?
more ilvl
is augury of the priimal flame good for sin
MY BRUTHER IN CHRIST
you guys saying that assassination is worse than outlaw in st or what
NOT MORE THAN OUTLAW
Outlaw outsims sin in bis gear lol
MORE THAN YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW
are you unaware of what damage profiles are
You’re just asking why the robot tells you sin sims lower. And it’s because it does lol.
It’s not lack of patience. Just trying to get you to understand how simming works.
If I showed you two sims. one of a 475 assas rogue, compared to a 477 frost DK. and asked you "why is assas simming higher? is apl broken?"
you would throw a chair at me
this is the same situation
that isnt even what im doing its an indirect question
just because class is yellow. doesn't mean specs sim the same
Of how can I make them even
but the rogue has more mastery than the dk dude
Are you guys actually listening?
you make them even
I'm trying to figure out at what point do they do relatively similar damage
So I add mastery gear and I add vers gear to outlaw
they are two different specs
So what??
they don't just randomly do the same damage
whne you hit some magical number
im changing gear
????
are we not allowed to compare specs with different gear and different stats
so you’re trying to find what combination of gear and stats makes the two specs sim the same????

what is even going ON
just outlaw haters in here xd
you are allowed to do w/e you want. and we are allowed to call what you're doing stupid and pointless
Outlaw outsims sin by 6k in bis gear so like it’ll probably outsim sin unless you’re using shit gear for outlaw lol
okay here's how you make assas sim higher
people love to defend their favorite spec, and this is the assassination thread >.<
Huh?
Use 10ilvls lower for outlaw maybe you can get assa higher
unequip your main hand OL wep
and sim that against your assas with daggers on

myth busted
ill have you know, im the biggest

False bestie
I don't hate outlaw... how else would we get rid of all of our extra glue and crayons?
they're very important

Okay then bozo
Maybe if you were a catfish
i did have a catfish pfp
actually goated pfp
Wrong channel
Always the right channel
i am a certified outlaw lover. if the question is "what do i need to do to make sin sim higher than outlaw" then secondaries won't really play into it. like even if you go full vers on sin, it's only 10% worse than literally ideal secondaries. outlaw might just end up simming higher, and that's life. reality might not reflect this due to ease of play for sin vs outlaw, or damage profiles (burst vs consistent dps), or any number of things that affect how much uptime a character has.
I think oxi would rather quit than play outlaw lmao
He has played outlaw but hasn’t quit
Curious
I remember

everyone and their mom is gonna want pips
youre a real fan
so ye I'd take it
Could bring it back
Thanks all I asked is if apl is accurate and all these bozos wanna go hate 
curious statement coming from the spec that spends 45/60 seconds mindlessly tapping 3 3 4 3 4 3 3 4 3 4 3 3 4
It is
why would the APL be wrong
this guy is bringing it back. my depression
if your first question is to shit on the APL
And why not we are like 2 weeks into season
idk why you'd think you'd get a warm welcome
no oxi its clearly your fault that he doesn't know how to sim
You didnt ask if it was accurate, you asked "is it just bad apl?" which comes across as aggressive
you said "something obscure about stats. is the apl bad?"
a lot of effort goes into the creation and maintenance of the APL, i think it just comes across as a slap in the face. i'm sure you didn't mean it to be but that's how it is perceived
if you dont see how that is just needlessly aggressive idk what to say
damn yall sensitive
I didn't even react aggressively
also you are simming a 483 BiS trinket against a 470 BiS trinket, what did you expect?
the apl is beans (the good beans that come from the golden retriever)
you're the one having a breakdown over a 3rd grade understanding of stats
idk why yall think im aggressive
When I see other logs I see sins have ~25% dmg of envenom and 15% kingsbane but on mine i have 17% and 17% barely the same damn on kingsbane and envenom
?
actually a shit community
does the +%nature dmg with Shiv stack on target?
legit look at this
are you chaining with 4p
Im trying all ican
ur sad griff
send log, let someone check it, profit
what echnat best for sin agi or haste
Would you guys take BIS myth track pants out of vault or get 4 piece but it’s champion level track?
You cannot use shiv twice and get 60% more damage no
normally wafting once you get more gear
o i been useing agi past 2 season i are bad lol
if your damage share really is not normal, its going to be 4p chaining or burst sequencing - i'd review both and triple check
It was sophic until this patch
i mean more gear rn
ah ty sir
sim with 100% silken lining uptime 🧠

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
this u
menty B = mental break
Its a good ring, bis lists are silly anyway
Moving some stats around with that ring will likely end up with you simming like 50 below ultra bis anyway
It doesnt matter much
cause yall are over an apl question so much hate

this could be us but youre outlaw...
I may be yellow but my logs are red
mine are blue!
now we can make purple
but we will never get purple with your yellow......
Out of CDs even if i have high energy should i wait to chain envenom?

you chain envenom by casting it with < 1s remaining on the buff
and yes, outside of cds you do - unless you're over like 240 energy, just send it
you can freely cast envenom outside of pandemic if you are going to cap energy
my guy... its not an apl issue, look at your trinket ilvls... a 483 twisted blades is definitely going to sim higher than a 470 branch
normally if i'm 250+ i just press it and check again after 4cp, but there may be more rigid numbers from apl
it's 240
Well then that is an answer I was looking for
well yeah but you asked "Is it just bad APL?" implying the problem is with the APL not your own sim. That's not the way to ask for sim help from people who spend probably 100s of hours working on APL
There's several classes with bad apl's I'm not knowledgeable on the one from rogue, we are 2 weeks into season so there could still be issues
whats the best flask for sin rogue?
Can anyone link a good rotation video? I’ve only played outlaw, completely new to Sin
look up whispyr's youtube
don't trust anyone else's youtube
unless they're the same as his
then trust it
it's more complicated - when reading - than it is in execution
what are people's sims saying about 483 hourglass vs signet
!up
taking a breath involves a dozen organs working at the same time, but its very easy. you just gotta put in reps then it's a simple motion
looks intimidating, makes sense once you've done it 30 times
Okay sounds good. After 35 runs I finally got nick of time
So I figured I’d give sin a go. Seems like it pumps
how tf do we get trophies of strife? I have a ton of blood tokens but not a single trophy.
Ye has a learning curve then I'd say it's easier to pilot than outlaw
ope. legion tw. time to go to our favorite place 
Court?
lol
my vault actually hates me, where branch, where nick?
483 tier aint bad
hell that was my first vault right there
Question, if we get a mastery proc of some kind, does that increase damage on applied bleeds or do we need to reapply to snapshot with mastery proc?
Bleeds will update dynamically
Well boys, I might be in trouble
At this point, my biggest dps boost is likely "getting better"
What exactly does that mean?
what do you drop if u want stillshroud? feint charge?
I knew a hunter once that had a pvp macro which canceled auto-shot, and couldn't figure out why his damage was so low. He had been using that macro in raid for an entire tier.
You don’t need to reapply. They will increase their damage when you proc and decrease when the proc falls off
well thats a relief lol
The time comes for us all.
Was he farming tlpd? I left a kick macro on that had a stop attack in it for raid once because of that
Did droptimizer for 483 from raid and keys and looks like my highest increase would only be about 2.4 for any slot
I think the only thing we actually snapshot is nightstalker
tlpd? I don't know what that is. This was back during wod, HFC
time lost proto drake
Time lost proto drake
Ye this i know, but i was afraid we had to snapshot mastery procs and stuff aswell lol
You get in a group and wanna just hit it with a kick or taunt so you can get kill credit but not one shot so others can tag
Improved Garrote also. You must have played feral in the past if you’re worrying about this 
yupp that and og UH dk
i felt like i was doing something wrong, i felt that i had to snapshot more with bleeds but i guess thats not the case lol
the only snapshot you're worrying about is kingsbane with nightstalker
the rest is yolo
Complained about not getting witherbark to drop right before EB ended
And it dropped, pog
Max signet heroic is .1% worse on my guy

I find it interesting that BRH pants are my biggest upgrade https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bVQ7gATAurjBp7jj8wzv4v
Must be hungry for vers haste
it's .2% better on mine lol
Just comes down to haste amount on sheet without hourglass probably
the hardest part of this game is getting the information you need readily available on your UI
i mean that's not inaccurate
Which means I guess I can focus more on io instead of farming a specific dungeon first
alright, dont know if this question is for the tc channel but
compared to double sophic, for sin st
Yes
Yes?
compared to double sophic, sub st
maybe
Haste good for sin, bleeds like haste.
932 agi vs 1162 haste i mean
Sophic good. Wafting good. Robit says Wafting better sometimes, so robit is right
this, this is new since I do not know how the bleed calculations work
Idk either
haste = faster bleed ticks?
Ye
I just assume since bleeds are hasted, bleeds do more damage with higher haste, so bleeds like haste.
Is it worth taking a 480 Haste/Vers Mythic track dagger that I'm assuming will be replaced by a second Nick of Time, or take the Coiled Serpent Idol out of vault? I simmed just curious about opinions at this point
What’d the sim say?
what are your current weps
Dagger is +180 DPS over coiled trinket but hesitant since we run two Nick of Times
473 Nick of Time and Normal Dreamcarver atm
Is wafting devo sim bait or just sporadic with its proc rate
its not simbait IF you're fighting a patchwerk fight
if u cba just take dagger - but if you are insane like me farm fall, got second dagger on my 43rd run 
And I'm assuming Coiled trinket will get replaced by Sandglass or an ashes
My sim says 1 wafting 1 sophic but idk how wafting could be sim bait with how enchants are just random af this expansion regardless
+5932 for 4/4 Myth Haste vers dagger +5789 Coiled trinket
Druids are bugged right now
Somehow they’re dealing a shit ton of damage with some abilities
They're also literally bugged. Covered in fleas. Gross
after our burst phase with mark, kings etc should we save 1 thistle tea to tide us over for our next burst phase? or should we just send it? I wanna play assa but im so used to sub that I become energy starved so quickly lmao
🔪
!pooling You should get used to pooling in general for energy managment. In general if you hold your first tea for 6sec left on opener KB, it will always gain a charge back at that point for future KBs

how do i stop getting cucked by stealth bar when trying to ambush/mutilate lol i wish there was an easy fix other than just not having stealth bar
/cast [stance] Ambush; Mutilate
I pray yours is better than mine have been
just have this binding outside of stealth bar?
Inside and outside
By having the two buttons on separate keys regardless of stance
It’s a universal macro
The macro helps but if you're talking about "Getting cucked" by it then the macro doesn't 100% solve the delay issue, it can still happen
It's a real pain
So, I just have separate buttons
you get cucked by your macro
i get cucked by my wifes boyfriend
we are not the same
so after my opener, kingsbane is down, stocks are expunged.
I am mutilating, envenom, envenom while keeping garrot/rupture up?
lucky mans....
I know there are commands etc but im just looking for barebowns here not "vanish 6 seconds before you press this"

if you have 4p you clip envenoms at the end so you get the benefit from the 4set but yes keep garrote&rupture up and chain envenoms untill you cant, then pool
Cheats
no shade to anyone ofc
mint
The goals are outlined in the bot command I linked, but yes, you are maintaining bleeds, using envenom to maximize the buff uptime it gives you, and waiting until the last second on that buff to cast envenom again. You can use tea after that point as long as it doesn't cap your energy
and then if ur runnig low on energy you can burn a tea as long as you save 1 for the next 1 min cd window right
Doing so will drain you of energy
to keep the chain going
but that's ok
rogue has changed so much since BFA
Why is this BiS? I have one 470 ilvl and the dmg of time strike hits just 2.7k on a Raid Boss fight
well earned, now get in there and fuck tindral

that 2.3k is a bonus over every single other dagger
so ive only practiced Sin on a dummy, does the CD window feel way differrent once you got PI ?
prob just the same but you get more envenoms off i guess yea?
you get more poison applications in - so bigger KB
you just get more AAs
ahh ok
ANy time you're confused - just remember, everything revolves around KB
The only reason PI is so huge is more AA for KB
and ask yourself how
oh right auto attacks are faster not gcd's
was there ever a time where pi affected gcd or am i just trippin
it does for non 1 sec gcd classes i think
This man is so good at the game
ahhh
Well haste increases AA speed for all melee
Socket?
I took pants in case I ever get myth track gloves to catalyze
On any energy based class your GCD is locked at 1 second. So haste instead gives energy regen
vault question it's tuesday of course... i mainly play outlaw in keys and probably play assa in mythic raids if guildies need a fill. I got 483 myth pants and 483 myth accel timeglass in vault and kinda leaning on the pants... The dps difference seems marginal on assa
Assa:
ST: +5.9k (pants) vs +7.5k (trinket)
DS: +8.1k (pants) vs +11.7k (trinket)
Outlaw:
ST: +4.3k (pants) vs +0.9k (trinket)
DS: +11.1k (pants) vs +3.8k (trinket)
I wouldnt be THAT crazy just taking the pants right?
so
chances of you getting myth track sandglass again
are super low
you have a better shot of getting myth level pants later
when you ping your buddy if he is going to time the key he is in with a pending server shut down 🙂
What are the odds this shutdown is actually an hour
it's mostly a "can you hold out for better pants later?" kinda question vs just straight up dps
who wears pants?
cause straight up DPS, pants all day right
right.. but like pips is better anyways even if i just get it on hero track it's kinda whatever,. be different if it was the treebark on use trinket
Not the it’s a small world streaker apparently

then pants for sure
esp cause it's massive dps gain for both specs
I got lucky and got a helm in the vault
c'est la vie
lol i didn't trade a hunter a ring from tides - because it was 0.1% upgrade
I've taken 2 items that I can't even wear 2 weeks in a row 
my choice was heroic pip or mythic bis ring
My vault went pretty well
i took a necklace
Because I can get 4 set now
I'm actually on sudoku watch
if next weeks vault is also shit
I may throw my computer out of the window
i just wanted a daggewr
which part?
the main box or the monitor, or all of it?
all of it
guess i know what i'm crafting next week
when is the last time you prayed to lord ion?
or we just swap to pally and ride the bench for the rest of prog
i sa a little prayer for you
cause my pally apparently gets spoonfed all the gear with 2 options
forever and ever
this server shutdown to nerf assa rogues?
phew
wdym, this seems fine:
https://twitter.com/snupytv/status/1729591158546792666


lmao oic
it's worse than that video i think
i saw a 1.8M and a 1.6M hit from a feral in a screenshot earlier
wdym nothing's broken at all with druid rn
healers are supposed to do 93k dps right?
are non night elf assas' desperate this week? due to spiteful :' cant get my restealth Zzz
lol
toss out some ruptures and get to the next pack
it's not as big of a deal as people think
When was the 4p nerfed to deal 30% increased damage in single target?
did the shock mythic build with blindside and venom rush end up being better on bosses than hybrid
shoot i've killed a couple shades, then got stealth and met them at the next pack
you know the BM's are padding on spitefuls anyway
anyone know what the maintenance is for?
If sin nerfs hit hard enough, sub will be the move, right?
sub is in a pretty shitty state for smaller m+ pulls though
if the sin nerfs hit hard enough the spec will be mid af
can someone explain the difference of the 3 charts https://bloodmallet.com/chart/windfury_totem
and then you flip a coin for outlaw/sub
like most of the sub dudes are pretty pissed
whichever you enjoy more
In raid
but yeah if sin became bottom tier, i'd run sub - but i dont think the nerfs are gonna hit that hard
our numbres are inflated for a few reasons A) aug logs B) PI
So nerf pi and remove aug
ST - 3T - 5T I believe
which is why you see sub go down in 3T
cause it sucks ass in 3T cleave
i see
If you exclude external buffs isn’t sin still on top of all spec in st and high keys
On wowlogs
ye it's still a top 3-4 spec
it's tough to say but i dont think so - i think DH and BM above them
w/o externals
yeah we're still up top but not AT the very top i dont think
but it's just obnoxiously strong w/ PI
Still think it’s pretty likely to get nerfs then and since it’s blizzard it’s either nothing or everything 💀
i mean it's not an outlier without it though
I hope they're not
not if your raid is worth a shit
if your raid is worth a shit, it's going on sin
Damn what
only boss hunters should get PI on is smolderon
cause they get full value out of it
imagine having a priest in raid comp....
my raid has a shadow priest

ok fuck branch, where is my ambersoul
Would you guys take a riverview penthouse apartment for +15 mins travel time on ur commute

oh ok
I would be trading 5 mins walk + 15 mins subway for 10 mins bus, 5 mins subway, 10 mins subway, 5 mins walk
But it's the riverside penthouse view
2x balcony, one on each side
so you're going from 10 min to 25 min
yee
can you uber to subway
thats a waste of money
Yes but $ why would I do that
(cost though, but then youre penthouse living so you got the dolla)
i had to uber for a week while my car was in the shop and it was basically like i was working for free
Only reason I consider the penthouse is cause I'm splitting cost with gf and it's actually not that pricy
2k
fair
My current room is like 1.6
honestly, when you throw a bus into the mix, im not so sure now
When my boss asks why I'll give him a panorama view of my place
And say sorry 1 hr commute

Heroic non tier pants are almost a 2% upgrade for my loadout lol
Hoping they drop tonight
If it was done in like heroic/mythic raid yes, but world boss and only once (maybe even for the sake of testing and bug reporting?) its kind of safe
tell that to the guy who did reckoning bomb
Like assa bis has stacking crit mastery haste on all pieces
Then a massive vers ring
If you use a diff ring it's ok to have vers on everything
i mean, i have tested and reported quite a few bugs like that, not even once got a ban, and rexxtroy made his entire channel based around that.

Team, question for on use trinkets. If i'm already running witherbark and i have a chance to grab ashes out of vault or signet brand, is there any scenario where double on use can be used correctly for our windows or is the passive brand just better to avoid clunkiness?
Oh realms back up
Double on use doesn't work well
It's jsut better to do on use/passive
I figured as much, was just wondering, due to ashes unique drop off, if there was a scenario where we got the benefit during setup of window and then found a way to get witherbark going in window to double dip or soemthing
i was finding ways to over justify in my head probably
looks like im running branch and ashes now after my vault trying to figure out best time to use them in my opener and in general since they share cd
I wouldn't
how do people find Galakrond's Fall? Those mob packs before 3rd boss - if you want to practice your rotation it's those mobs. Fastest burst in all of the lands
I would just get a better passive option and pick between ashes / branch
its either ashes or the bombs from last tier
most likely yes, 10 seconds
ya bomb puts it on the standard 10
it was really frustrating when I had beacon/bombs and kept getting beacon on another 10 sec cd
Then you can likely do bomb on pull, ashes at the normal time after
it's annoying as fuck haha
because ashes you wouldn't use until 3 sec into KB which, on non accel opener, is after 10sec
Or just use branch and delay it from deathmark a bit and gather orbs quickly
think ill just do bombs and ashes until i find a nice passive trink
seems way less aykward
What am i seeing?
Why are they hitting so hard?
heart of the wild and things
It makes feral spells do 900k all of a sudden?
I saw it was ok to envenom on 4cp now but all the top logs seem to only do 5+cp. So not sure which is correct.
dont judge me but i burned my new catalyst charge solely for transmog 
judged
bug
kekw i was doing hardmode doti with my guildies to do the achievement. of course nick drops when i'm in m0
4 in kb
350 nick sims higher than my current offhand lol
Its 4 all the time, but it doesnt really matter
Difference is very tiny
For easier reroll when they gut us next balance patch because they can’t fix aug you mean
what build this week for keys?
Same
Same as every week
shock?
So, we dooming about possible nerfs next week? 😄
and yeah I use shock every week, personally
What if they actually make KB not affected by haste 
Its not affected by haste already
I appreciate that the artist of that gif didn't show the hook impaling the fishy
I wonder what the most sought after class is for m+ and raids. Like, is it a certain tank, healer, dps, like, I wonder what raid groups and m+ groups salivate over lol
how much crit vs mastery should i have? not including the corrupting flask
The same build as every week, Pinky
cant tell if i should be using hissing rune or buzzing run
Aug woker
KB is not effected by haste
You'd think because there's so many of them they'd be in demand less xD
Ok I think I have the basic rotation down. But I run out of energy in the first 40 seconds. Aren’t some of the dots supposed to generate energy?
the damage increase is from getting more AAs from haste
!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
you're supposed to run out of energy, it's how the spec works
Double bait even when i say i'm baiting 
Bro you can literally look up KB on wowhead and see the lack of "Spell haste effects periodic" flag on the spell
Is he trolling me now?
Arterial Shock talent for mythic for both tyrannical and fortified is looking good no?
instead of typing that message you can literally google it yourself
what are you bursting for on big pulls? I cant keep up with bm or dh and hitting like 500-600k sometimes and they hit 1-1.4m
not you sticko, just realized you mightve interpreted it as directed to you. talking to notter here

Bro I wrote it as a joke
I said i was baiting 😂😂
Me
and what part of anything that you have said during this interaction would lead anyone to believe that you were joking
is assassination is going to be nerf
yes no maybe
him posting a baiting gif, then later saying "double bait even when i say im baiting" id say that shows pretty well, that he indeed was baiting
When assignation nerf
Double baiting is actually a double negative so he was being serious
Too high DPS per secone
R u bizard
gizzard
Slizzard
That was a good time. We need to go back to when everyone was getting slizzard
man. droptimizer says that a 483 ashes would be a -1.3% over 467 sandglass and branch. granted i do need to probably upgrade those but i'd rather get them on hero track first
When branch nerf
Double on use is not good
true
Q: when I am garroting from stealth in AOE opener, can I cast 3x on same target, or do you have to target swap?
not sure how this interacts with smart targeting.
You can but you’d lose out on 2 extra targets
Everytime you cast it will apply to your target and two extra targets
Doesnt matter if your target has garrote up or not
Ok, so its not a problem then?
Also how do keys work this week for us? I cant stealth, no Indiscriminate carnage. Feels bad, is there a work around? I assume its just manualling dotting everything.
Stay back and stealth, shadow dance, vanish
can i macro shadow dance and mirror to kingsbane?
I just try to vanish between things spawning
Up to you how to proceed, tank will start towards next pack, you can finish the shades and drop combat
Or just go into next pack, could be one or two targets then just manually dot. Lots of factors
OK thank you!
For Luxthos WA package does anyone have an edit like outlaw does for the stealth windows?
Typically macro trinkets into DM, but yes you can put Shadow DAnce in with kingsbane

Hello, I'm kind of new to the spec, what is the potion that is used for stats in raid?
guys the trinket of the fyrakk is good to assassination ?
[Augury of the Primal Flame]
naw
not particularly
hmm
uh not the best spread
but just sim it
assa can kinda work with all stats if you balance it well somewhat
I guess is an 83k fire shield every minute useful? Probably on some fights, we'll be proccing it on cd
would need some trink to proc the fire one
To get the nature shield, yeah. I'm just ignoring that part, we'll reliably have the fire shield
Idn, it doesn't sound like a whole lot to me either way
Ahhh why is assa in m+ so difficult
Lots of spinning plates
I need a prem8 tank otherwise im losing sanity
I thought not being able to restealth on outlaw is ass but wtf is assassin
keys can be ez af or a nightmare solely depending on the tank
learned thatt real quick
!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
for the SBS build, would we still just flip over to caustic if needed? or does caustic necessitate the non-SBS build
!pool
I mean the dmg isnt that big of a Problem but trying to get energy reg going feels impossible
Stealth is a much bigger deal with the new IC. Before at least you could just spread non-boosted garrotes if stealth wasn't an option
Now you just don't spead shit
That thing was made for 10.2
Is it viable to macro Ambush with Mutilate, prio ambush if in stealth? If so does someone have that macro?
buddy do i have good news for you
Got mythic shoulders in the vault to get 4p 😄
no macro required, the game just does that for you now
amp,deadly,atrophic,crippling the default raid poisons on DtB?
I think that's only when you have a blindside proc, no? I can still mut from stealth and keep ambush on my bar also.
You can with a stance macro, but it won't work with blindside procs, better to just have on your bars IMO
am outlaw main, so maybe it's a bit diff with sin rogue if so apologize
quick question regarding Chrono-Lord Deios, if an orb targets you do you HAVE to stay in it?
The "Ambush Replaces Mutilate" only applies to blindside. For Stealth swaps you need to 1) Use a stance bar, and place ambush and Mutilate on the same keybind slot. 2) Don't use a stance bar, and use a [stance] macro to swap between them. Or 3) Just have them on independent keybinds with or without a stealth bar.
I do 3. You can do any of those.
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:0] Sinister Strike
/cast [bonusbar:1] Ambush
i use this, it seems to work
One person has to stay in and one has to move out
Up to you to decide who does what
Orbs target 2 players, it prioritizes range specs and drops an orb under them, Standing under it will make it drop slower. If both hit at the same time, or close to the same time, you wipe. Before the pull your group should decide who is standing in one and have them assigned for the whole fight
oh i use a stance bar, sorry for any confusion 🙂
great thanks
Typically groups always assign this to range if for some reason it's targetting melee
so in most cases, you move out of it, unless someone died
In which case, have to watch and think on your feet
(Assuming you are a rogue, being this discord and all 🙂 )
Grats
Kinda want to use embersoul so I dont have to do the kiting orb thing with witherbark
you guys running Arterial shock this week in keys?
yee
I've had branch since day 2 of patch, and it really gets easy to do eventually, however, I do understand that sometimes I just want to press my trinket button and stop thinking about it. It's not as much effort as some people make it out to be, but it is undoubtedly more effort than ashes is
Its not hard
Especially like, if I am not thinking and the boss is doing big movement but I cast DM + branch
and have to keep moving
its just annoying
Considering my options I have currently, real happy I got branch. GOt used to it, was a bit awkward on Smolderon at first
out of curiosity, when i teleport into or out of a dungeon my lethal poison falls off even if it has plenty of time left on it. is this a known bug?

what is the best rogue spec for beginners
dw bout it
whichever feels better to you
Sandglass or signet brand for raid tonight? same ilv brand seems inconsistent or am i crazy
when to use tight spender vs improved ambush in raid?
hmm did 3 minutes of slapping, was at 135k when I walked away
Looks like I am falling quite short from the sim amount lol https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/e7uNZq2jkv7UfPX4SHUv6E
you'd take improved ambush in any boss fight, and you'd take tight spender if you're an idiot
But I also didn't use vanish because that usually messes with details
oh i'm an idiot so I'll take tight spender, thank you
np
is the nerf around the corner or not?
I'm resting in so much piss
Until then please try your best to resist the urge to cry about stuff that could, possibly, in the future, maybe exist. It’s unnecessary, thanks
tell that to my extensional dread @balmy condor

Login babe it’s time for splits
hello fimjsdlkajlkjser's existential dread, stop dooming
checked if people are actually playing tight spender, basically first one I see
sorry, I'm not cringie
see, I wasn't kidding
Nice.
thanks

Does the 2% dmg per poison apply to non-lethal?
yes iirc
is there a resource to find sim numbers on toxic thorn footwraps vs no embllish vs slimy boots at equal ilvl ?
You can sim it on your own character 
you should also not use slimy boots
Crap I didn’t realise we could apply 2 non lethal
Finally my first dagger after 20 tries only counting the completed runs xD
20 aint bad
up to 22 Fall runs and nothing
Oh I see
Man all the leaver runs cuz healers couldn't heal 2nd or 3rd boss
people in here that cranked out 40-50 runs before seeing a dagger
Just loot it 5head
isn't 2x bis tho ?
True simming always matter
yeah ofc 2x is bis
you tell me
when I'm getting a 489 in my vault
and I'll wear it
Next week i promise
my friend is on run 50 of waycrest for his trinket for warlock
I got 489 not first vault, all my luck is gone now
Ahaha fair Whisper x)

i made a crafted mh im good on daggers unless i get a myth track in vault
Yea a guildie farmed 29 WC for trinket and followed 17 runs BRH for belt xD
imagine farming that hard for anything not a trinket or special effect weapon
Yea not my drift but if they got the time xD
he wanted the mog man
what should my highest dps be
do you use a macro for shadowdance + kingsbane?
farming for a very specific off piece sounds like either someone who doesn't get out of the house enough, or someone who grinds on a bis list mindlessly because it says bis in big letters so it must be better
at least 5
ye
havoc dh idk
how bout you mind ur business
ok belt farmer
i meant what damage ability should be my highest damage
no dad no
in what situation, per single click or in total, with what build
uhm
during our vanish window at the end of KB, I know we are refreshing garrote, but are we also refreshing a rupture or throwing envenom instead?
single click, full aoe but 3 of them are 99% damage reduced and there's an unknown count of the rest of the mobs, st + ic
jesus
not exactly
cause envenom has like 3 sources
and sanguine gets rolled together
that's probably better
Hey @balmy condor! Sorry for the direct ping, but I saw your Mage Tower guide wasn't updated to the rework from Patch 10.2.
I don't play rogue, but just got it done under 8 tries with this build I just made ( BMQAcWb37Z8KXj8LlE1rTPXfslmkkISQAAAAAAItkItkAAAAAAAtmkgEIJplSSSQikEkkUUiEA )
Maybe it can help updating the guide and others getting their tower set.
questionable build
but yeh
I don't know what my bosses want me to do with the mage tower page
we weren't told to update it
probably cause its piss easy now
idk
was gonna say yeah you save them for the KB/SD window, every minute
!dagger
i'm so glad i'm out of Everbloom prison
Same that tho only took me 11 runs xD
Without 4p play around sanguine blade, with 4p don’t play around, pref play around chain envenom ?

send CDs on pull for Gnarlroot?
There was a bug with envenom duration?
yes the intermission isn't until like 1:45 in lol
Yea but likely do a faster opener cuz depending on how fast you are at burning roots you won't get a full KB off in the Dmg increase periode after intermession
what part of our opener would be the ideal time to get PI?
