during vanish nothing changes on the normal build -> spend rules, just make sure one of those builders is garrote

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

bro at least 200 apm ngl haha

full coral
#

So if you've got max CPs- you just send a Rupture, then Ambush, Garrote- and hit'em with the Envenom- i learnt that the most important thing to get in your re-stealth windows was just to get a emp garrote off.

slim pebble
#

What’s the command for the pooling graphic

forest notch
#

oh ok So is empowered rupture just ass then? Just not worry about empowering it and essentially focus on garrote/envenom

slim pebble
#

I like looking at pictures more than I do reading

slate crown
#

!guide Whispyr has a mention on it in the rotation section under Nightstalker, after the openers

forest notch
#

kk

#

ill go read ty

slate crown
#

But ultimately, it's fine to rupture if you want. Envenom is always good. Rupture may lead to wasted energy if you clip a non-pandemic rupture

#

They're close enough

#

Personally I just rupture if it's in pandemic

#

otherwise envenom

#

i.e., treat it like normal

forest nacelle
#

is artierial shock the go to M+ build now? rip my dragon-tempered blades 😦

slate crown
#

If it gains the NS bonus, great. If not, oh well nbd

thorn fjord

!branch

#

lol

forest notch
#

I was curous about this. Sorry if the answer is obvious here but I just want to triple check. In M+ with like 4+ targets and or 7+ target rotations. Should I try to get garrote/rupture on all mobs before even starting DM/KB? Will the bleeds overall net me more dmg than getting my CDs out?

full coral
thorn fjord
#

Gonna try running sin in keys this week

forest notch
#

also what about when I lose the stealth window? Do I still try to get garrotes/ruptes?

bleak plume
#

anyone figured out yet what's the deal with sudden demise literally not proccing at all sometimes?

forest notch
dark token
#

It's accurate

bleak plume
#

can it be that any bleeds applied after the mob hits 35% do not trigger sudden demise at all?

forest notch
#

I dont fully understand wowhead thats why im asking

#

ha

#

It also doesnt mention if I lose my stealth buff

#

like do I try to single apply rupture/garrote still

oak tangle
#

i mean you have two target counts slected, i don't know how much it changes, but it will change the garrotes and ruptures at the start

forest notch
#

or go into CDs

dark token
#

What does wowhead say

forest notch
#

both suggest garrote/rupture all targets if im understanding it. 7+ just adds more instances of it

dark token
#

It's 1 more instance

#

Not multiple more

forest notch
oak tangle
#

yes

dark token
#

You have IC to spread ruptures to more targets after this falls

forest notch
#

also the stealth is 10seconds (Like the ability to apply to multiple)

oak tangle
#

no

forest notch
#

ya but once IC falls off

dark token
#

That's why u don't garrote after those 3 globals

#

Until dance

#

No more shrouded

#

Then you don't rupture once IC is gone

#

No more IC

forest notch
#

10 seconds

dark token
#

Like

#

What don't you get

oak tangle
#

select only the 7+ target count on wowhead, it will show you what to do in any situation of 7 or more targets

dark token
#

Spreading bleeds before deathmark is good for few things:

  1. scent of blood buff for 20% agi from rupture spread
  2. energy
  3. garrote shrouded suffocation dam and iron wire
#

So you do this first

oak tangle
#

if it lists only 3 garrotes, then you garrote 3 times

dark token
#

Then do cooldowns

#

You garrote 1-3x depending on target count

forest notch
#

for 7, can I fit all this in IC window?

#

If the window falls off before because I need to use defensive or something

dark token
#

Yes IC lasts 13s

forest notch
#

do I swap to KB

sick aspen
#

where's whispyr at? he handing out vault blessings this week

forest notch
#

or keep trying to single target rpture

dark token
#

If your IC falls

#

Rupture to 5 targwts

#

Then DM

#

You want minimum 5

#

Because of scent of blood

forest notch
#

should have been more clear

dark token
#

The 6+ target one is because u still have IC buff so it's worth

forest notch
#

ya

dark token
#

It's not worth it you don't have, beyond 5t

oh baby that is some garbage

eternal heath
#

I lied, both rings have sockets, so that isnt as bad

oak tangle
#

bless my vault someone

dark token
forest notch
#

Also if im going to only get like half a KB on a target, I assume its still worth sending?

  1. is there another big pull or boss right after
  2. do you have DM coming up in <30s

  1. are your teammates cooldowning this pack

As long as it's a decent pull

forest notch
#

dark token
#

Yes well your tank should always have a big HP target in there

forest notch

or just send and get as much value as possiblke

ahh true

i always sim my great vault gear upgraded to the max in it's tier also

Been pooling up Aspect crests

#

Should I spend my aspect crests on crafted crests first?

north bobcat
#

well, based on bosses and dungeons rather than random but from that pool

(If I can't push my weapons and trinkets higher, which I can't atm)

#

I was planning on crafting a ring this week but I could keep trying to farm Archdruid and run it with this athena and then craft engi bracers

grim tree
#

This week we should craft rings?

red zealot
#

Choice between Augury and Ashes trinket OS OTL sims are saying Ashes

oak tangle
#

get your flavor packet, engi bracers, or that missing dagger

north bobcat
#

I have a pick between signet and upgrading my head tier from champion to hero, and I play mostly m+. Is the signet worth it?

forest notch
#

basically flavor or brez

north bobcat
#

I'm not sure how dungeonslice sim handles signet to make a call

red zealot
#

Which do yall think?

slate crown
#

Rings are good.

#

Rings get free socket

#

Which makes up a bit for the ilvl loss over a 4/4 myth piece

arctic socket
#

Question for the sim expects here, any reason why the world boss necklace is simming over my 476?

grim tree
#

If play assa and outlaw whats stats?

slate crown
#

Obviously you'd eventually be able to get a 4/4 myth piece + socket but may take some time

I wish I could get a weapon of any kinda, still rocking all Champion weapons can't find a heroic track one to save my life

north bobcat

true, probably will this week

either weapon or ring, my rings are crap too

Hoooray

I have 1 hero 1 champ nick as well and I should probably spam more falls for another hero but I tell myself it's a waste of time when surely the myth will be in my next vault

im on vacation for the next 3 weeks, so this was my last vault for a while

How much was the nerf exactly in raid? looks like sub 4%?

wide whale
#

ok, ring and shoulders are both a 30 ilvl upgrade, and are relatively similar in terms of DPS gain. i have 4 piece with legs instead of shoulders. unsure of which tbh

slim pebble
#

If you can replace legs with good stats the catalyzed shoulder would prolly be better

jade coral

another catalyst today? 😮

i got myth track legs last vault, i figured they won't be replaced for a while

i could.. just make hero track shoulders

do we have another cata today?

hey what's the rule on rolling for items in raids? some items (tier being a good example) i can technically use but im not able to roll on them in raid. Is it because I already have a substantial amount of tier or something?

So, if you don't have a myth track main hand, you should farm for 2 NoTs. If you do have a myth track mainhand, you should only farm 1

I didn't receive any tier loot in the raid beforehand

for example if I wanted to roll on tier to get the tier legs for Outlaw

Is it worth playing around Witherbark's Branch trinket? Like waiting 9 secs to pick up orbs, or just pick up the 3rd in the last 9s duration of Kingsbane. Or its just not worth at all?

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

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

and depending on trinkets some stats gain more

stuck in a dilema i have a 483 ashes branch and hourglass not a fan of 2 on use trinkets which should i use sims obv telling me go branch but alot of logs showing ashes

thorn fjord
#

Ash with branch is a dps loss

#

You want to choose one over the other

#

My sims had ashes at like 3k less dps than branch

#

Sim it and see the difference then choose based on your pref

uncut dragon
#

I ran my sim on my vault today, it suggested a trinket as a 1.4 percent upgrade.
There was no trinket in my vault. ghosts I tell you

eternal nymph
#

That you see more ashes is down to some people not liking branch, and ig it's also easier to get 489 ashes.

And the more people see "top rogues" use X, the more they think Y is simbait and also use X. Self fulfilling prophecy
