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

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

strange python
#

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?

thanks

so im fucked for dpsing in this phase but FoK and CT?

Just attack another adds

And spatter off of them

#

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

mighty nexus
#

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.

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

waxen oyster
#

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

#

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 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?

south wing
keen spruce
#

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

thorn fjord
#

@keen spruce why does it burn when I urinate

dark token
#

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?

keen spruce
#

and not just that one is doing more damage

rotund idol
#

Because the gear drops I got are mostly mastery and in terms of single target assassination should be simming better no?

rotund idol
#

Whilst my outlaw isnt very optimized

outer cairn
#

hmmm. time to sim. a heroic track pip or a mythic track ring of contempt

loud light
#

outlaw sims very high (whether that translates to real world dps or not is a separate question)

outer cairn
#

fuckign dagger man. jesus give me a max one in vault

keen spruce
#

I don't know why you would think that

#

also statting has roughly nothing to do

limber lion
#

sounds like a skill issue

rotund idol
# shy pecan Huh?

I'm trying to say that if I have 60% mastery and 0% haste obviously I sim less

keen spruce
#

with your outlaw or assas sims being different

rotund idol
keen spruce
rotund idol
#

ilvl is higher on assassination too

keen spruce
#

and do different amounts of damage

thorn fjord
#

OL has a crazy variance

#

Sin does not

spice surge
#

Sin and outlaw have the same variance Surebud

limber lion
#

Well

rotund idol
#

?? xd

limber lion
#

It's literally the same

#

yeah

keen spruce
spice surge
#

Only sub is slightly lower (but not by a lot)

shy pecan
keen spruce
#

idk where we're getting tripped up here

dusk palm
#

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

rotund idol
shy pecan
#

Then don’t bring in % of stats.

runic hinge

outer cairn
#

are we still simming nightly?

rotund idol
#

I only brought it in cause it doesnt show on the sim screenshot

shy pecan
#

Yeah, because it doesn’t matter.

keen spruce
shy pecan
#

The computer is trying out different combinations of gear you assign it. It doesn’t think of %.

keen spruce
#

because that's just kinda how it works when you compare two specs

runic hinge
#

Outlaw sims higher for you. What more explanation do you need

keen spruce
#

one is gonna do more and one is gonna do less

#

i'm not sure where we're losing the plot here

is augury of the priimal flame good for sin

keen spruce
rotund idol
#

you guys saying that assassination is worse than outlaw in st or what

keen spruce
#

NOT MORE THAN OUTLAW

runic hinge
#

Outlaw outsims sin in bis gear lol

keen spruce
#

MORE THAN YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW

south wing
#

are you unaware of what damage profiles are

rotund idol
#

damn sin community has 0 patience

#

actually lame

runic hinge
#

You’re just asking why the robot tells you sin sims lower. And it’s because it does lol.

shy pecan
#

It’s not lack of patience. Just trying to get you to understand how simming works.

keen spruce
#

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

rotund idol
#

that isnt even what im doing its an indirect question

keen spruce
#

just because class is yellow. doesn't mean specs sim the same

rotund idol
#

Of how can I make them even

south wing
rotund idol
#

Are you guys actually listening?

keen spruce
#

you make them even

rotund idol
#

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

keen spruce
#

they are two different specs

rotund idol
#

So what??

keen spruce
#

they don't just randomly do the same damage

rotund idol
#

Bro

#

thats why

keen spruce
#

whne you hit some magical number

rotund idol
#

im changing gear

#

????

#

are we not allowed to compare specs with different gear and different stats

south wing
#

so you’re trying to find what combination of gear and stats makes the two specs sim the same????

#

what is even going ON

rotund idol
#

just outlaw haters in here xd

keen spruce
#

you are allowed to do w/e you want. and we are allowed to call what you're doing stupid and pointless

runic hinge
#

Outlaw outsims sin by 6k in bis gear so like it’ll probably outsim sin unless you’re using shit gear for outlaw lol

keen spruce
#

okay here's how you make assas sim higher

somber sparrow
#

people love to defend their favorite spec, and this is the assassination thread >.<

shy pecan
runic hinge
#

Use 10ilvls lower for outlaw maybe you can get assa higher

keen spruce
#

unequip your main hand OL wep

#

and sim that against your assas with daggers on

# rotund idol just outlaw haters in here xd

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.

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

Moving some stats around with that ring will likely end up with you simming like 50 below ultra bis anyway

viral spire
#

haste = faster bleed ticks?

limber lion

I just assume since bleeds are hasted, bleeds do more damage with higher haste, so bleeds like haste.

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

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?

gusty mirage
#

so

#

chances of you getting myth track sandglass again

are super low

you have a better shot of getting myth level pants later

If sin nerfs hit hard enough, sub will be the move, right?

strange python
#

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

and then you flip a coin for outlaw/sub

strange python

like most of the sub dudes are pretty pissed

gusty mirage
#

whichever you enjoy more

strange python
#

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

which is why you see sub go down in 3T

yeah we're still up top but not AT the very top i dont think

gusty mirage

but it's just obnoxiously strong w/ PI

rotund idol
#

Still think it’s pretty likely to get nerfs then and since it’s blizzard it’s either nothing or everything 💀

strange python
#

How can you nerf a spec because of PI though really

#

like not everyone gets it

rotund idol
#

It’s not just strong with pi tho

#

Also don’t hunters usually get pi anyway

strange python
#

i mean it's not an outlier without it though

gusty mirage
#

I hope they're not

strange python
#

not if your raid is worth a shit

gusty mirage
#

hunters get 3k less dps than sin rogues

from PI

if your raid is worth a shit, it's going on sin

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?

slate crown
#

Oh realms back up

slate crown
#

It's jsut better to do on use/passive

tiny valley
#

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

oblique kiln
#

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

slate crown
#

I wouldn't

real stirrup
#

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

slate crown
#

I would just get a better passive option and pick between ashes / branch

oblique kiln
#

its either ashes or the bombs from last tier

slate crown
#

Does bomb put branch on cd?

#

or rather, how much of a cd

charred mango
#

most likely yes, 10 seconds

tiny valley
#

ya bomb puts it on the standard 10

charred mango
#

it was really frustrating when I had beacon/bombs and kept getting beacon on another 10 sec cd

slate crown
#

Then you can likely do bomb on pull, ashes at the normal time after

tiny valley
#

it's annoying as fuck haha

slate crown
#

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

oblique kiln
#

think ill just do bombs and ashes until i find a nice passive trink

seems way less aykward

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

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.

thorny pond
spice surge
#

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

gaunt sigil

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

learned thatt real quick

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

real stirrup
#

quick question regarding Chrono-Lord Deios, if an orb targets you do you HAVE to stay in it?

slate crown
#

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.

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
