Hi guys can you tell me what exactly timestrike does?

royal lantern
#

the short version or the long version

storm forum
#

can someone tell me too? i actually have no idea how it works besides randomly does between 0.4% and 1.2% of my damage

keen spruce
storm forum
#

long version

keen spruce
#

basically

balmy condor
#

it's multistrike

#

you deal damage

royal lantern
#

basicaly multistrike

balmy condor
#

it procs

storm forum
#

i wasnt alive when multistrike existed

balmy condor
#

deals a fraction of that damage

#

3 seconds later

royal lantern
#

small chance too do a part of the dmg that proced it again, 10% dmg iirc

storm forum
#

ok neat

kindred carbon
#

I hate it when these tanks chain pull and I cant restealth

keen spruce
#

I don't

#

makes the dugneon go faster

#

key gets timed more reliably

kindred carbon
#

yeah then they flame me for my damage because I cant spread dots

keen spruce
#

then they dumb

royal lantern
#

maybe press shadowdance or vanish

or spread manualy

storm forum
#

ok, I tried the no AoE cleave build

#

holy shit does it feel bad if there are chain pulls

kindred carbon
#

Just had a tank be giga angry because I politely asked him to just not chain pull every 2ish packs and he said "learn your class" like bitch

#

shit for outlaw cus they actually get fucked somewhat harder for no stealth

scarlet orbit
#

i dont mind chainpulling on both assa/outlaw but i dont like the feel when a tank pulls always with just one mob alive which dies like 1 sec later

royal lantern
#

yeha, thats a shit tank

quiet oar
#

Yeah

#

Tanks that chainpull at 10% mob health

are just dumb starege

Wannabe mdi tanks

I have another duck enjoyer in my raid

keen spruce
#

a DH

#

he's doing the Designated ducking with our aug

#

and very excited about it

storm forum
#

Me and the other rogue are like polar twins or something. We're both Rogue/Priest mains and refuse to play the specs we don't like. He's OL/Sub/Holy and I'm Sin/Disc/Shadow.

#

my raid is full of duck enjoyers

ancient rain
#

am I missing anything?

keen spruce
#

I always stealth ahead of council trash

#

do the RP

and get a picture of myself as a duck

storm forum

to post in guild chat

storm forum

LMAO

keen spruce
#

while they're clearing trash

ancient rain

time to get pip

keen spruce

one has been on the roster but has been gone since the start of the tier

free daggers

keen spruce
naive rock
#

at ilvl 478 what would you expect your overall dmg to be in 20-25?

oak eagle
#

does Rupture snapshot off of Nightstalker?

keen spruce
#

why u not in shmeeps guild

keen spruce
oak eagle
#

so thats why your first finisher is rupture and not slice then?

storm forum

im waiting for the optimal time to leave my guild for maximum damage

naive rock
#

alright i dont think ive ever gone higher than 215k with an aug

#

so i am def doing something wrong

keen spruce
#

well the 400ks are like

#

everbloom

#

where half of the dungeon is damage amp'd

#

215k maybe a little low with aug but like

#

so many variables

naive rock
#

I feel like i shouldnt be losing to an unholy dk

keen spruce
#

SO many

surreal citrus
#

m+ dungeon damage can very massively it's not a metric you can apply just across the board

#

vary*

keen spruce
#

yeah details not a great assessment of m+ performance

naive rock
#

details taught me im dog shit at the new outlaw xd

keen spruce
#

better to look at like... how did my CDs line up with this route. could I have moved some things around to time things up better with big packs or bosses

#

did I ever just woopsies CD windows

#

any deadgers

surreal citrus
#

the dungeon itself, group comp, tank habits, affixes, externals etc

keen spruce
#

yadda yadda

surreal citrus
#

I find myself holding kb and dm too much on packs tbh

#

dm especially

keen spruce
#

if you're havin trouble with what buttons to press go smack some target dummies

naive rock
#

yeah i def hold deathmark 2 much

keen spruce
#

if you're worried abotu key performance, it's proably other factors

#

yeah good general rule

#

is hold nothing ever

wild marsh
#

what we wanna craft this week? have boots and wrist

keen spruce
#

just fkin send it

naive rock
#

like in raid for mythic im going for 70-90 parses

keen spruce
#

unless like you KNOW you need it on the next boss or pull within a few seconds

#

especially the KB outside of DM

#

just rip that shit

#

i'll send that bitch into an everboom flower

surreal citrus
storm forum
#

I need to do more dungeons, I keep miss timing my DMs, thinking i have more or less time before the next boss

#

like im set for Fall cause ive done it a million times

keen spruce
#

well like

storm forum
#

but all the others idk whats going on

keen spruce
#

often

#

you can just count a normal pull as ~1m

#

maybe 45s

#

but round up

#

so I'll deathmark 2 pulls ahead of a boss

#

but not one

#

and other than that

#

just fkin send it

#

maybe hold it for the start of the next pack if stuff is dying

#

and you know you're gonna pull something substantial

#

in like 5-10s

storm forum
#

thats too cerebral for my tiny brain

naive rock
#

would you recommend doing sin in m+ over outlaw?

keen spruce
storm forum
#

lets go i love sending it

keen spruce
#

also, auxilliary benefit

surreal citrus
#

sin is gr8 in m+

keen spruce
#

your mushy brained aug evokers

#

will sync up their shit with your better

#

if your'e not holding CDs

#

cuz if you're camping on a deathmark for too long. that priest or aug is gonna get antsy

storm forum
#

just had a couple dungeons today where I def could have had 2 DMs and 3 KBs, but instead had 1 DM and 3 KBs

keen spruce
#

and send their shit on the other dps

static glacier
#

all ima say

storm forum
#

dungeon bosses*

static glacier
#

is that holding last dm for p2 smolderon

#

was the correct decision this week

keen spruce
surreal citrus
#

going to try double on use for smold this week

keen spruce
#

but like

#

you're askin assas channel

#

so the answers are gonna be a little biased

static glacier
#

about to start smol M prog probably next raidnight

static glacier
#

outlaw is imo a little better in keys

storm forum
#

Sin vs OL is a question of how likely are you to develop carpal tunnel

static glacier
#

real question is who here has done 20s as sub

#

it's honestly not as bad as representation makes it out to be

broken hatch
#

I would say outlaw is tankier and easier than sin but sin is way more fun imo and I do more dmg as sin

cunning scaffold
#

If the other 2 rogue specs didn’t exist, sub would be fine in keys I think

storm forum
#

at some point feint wont be enough for me to live everything

#

and im never pushing that high kekdog

static glacier
#

I think there's an argument that can be made that sub is fine generaly

#

the boss dmg for me was a step above sin

royal lantern

hollow vessel

but then you play Outlaw

outlaw is very fun but I'm ready to take a break now that ass is viable for m+ again also I love the spec flavor wise 👌

Hey there, is the Cruel Dreamcarver worth useing and What is the benefint u get from using it ?

hard plaza
#

any good sugestions for getting acropbatic strikes in the Arterial shock build?

storm forum
#

It's fine, get some okay defensive benefit so I'd recommend it over equal ilvl non-timestrike daggers. Not BiS long term though because timestrike daggers exist.

What makes ol tankier?

hard plaza
#

is that the no dance one?

#

that not a massive dps loss?

royal lantern

reminder that its still rogue

its just that assa is stupid tanky, outlaw and sub are absurd tanky

ahyeah i was looking at the raid one 😄

restless blades affecting feint, extra stamina are what come to mind immediately

you can spin MORE

remember when we had that in legion?

surreal citrus
#

assassin can already do so much spinning

storm forum
#

and it restored 10% of our hp every second or something

midnight mist
#

I think sin is the only one out of the 3 that doesnt have some bonus for tankyness?

man i was so bad back then

while rogue is tanky we might struggle in some of these dungeons

there is a lot of boss thingies we cant cd deff

storm forum

we're not very tanky vs some of the DoTs

unless we're taking elusiveness and i dont think anyone does that

Ngl I gotta spend the energy elsewhere. Mine as well as my chars energy

This week we playing the aoe shiv build for m+?

elus should make feint free and not on the gcd

then maybe we might consider dropping cheat

Genuine question - why does my Outlaw Spec sim 50k higher than my Sin spec when the gear I change are the same ilvls?

#

Is Dslice busted for Sin or Outlaw?

naive rock
#

can you attach the sims?

steel stump
#

I love it when I get one shot in 25 and team mates say "but did you feint bro"

surreal citrus
storm forum
#

cause Sin died for PI/aug/enh sins

keen spruce
#

and outlaw always sims very high on it

tawdry flare
#

Both are 470 ilvl - trinkets actually heavily favor Sin - no Nick of Times - no buffs besides runes and flasks

#

I was just like "holy shit - why such a huge difference"

royal lantern
#

comparing dslicr Numbers is kinda pointless

tawdry flare
#

Okay... So just Patchwork and hope for the best?

#

is the dagger bug reported?

lofty junco
#

hmm must say on tyrant without blindside it felt rly bothersome after like 1-2 minutes fight

#

how high we are talking about?

storm forum
#

i played it on 20 today and it was okay, i imagine you get better value whne trash can live through a full set up + DM/KB for spatter

steel stump
#

I played cleave on AD 25 it was pretty good

#

Packs are long enougth that you get at least a kb everytime

#

and often several

keen spruce
#

if packs are living long enough to get more than one KB out

#

in a 25 tyran

#

something is going terribly wrong

lofty junco
steel stump
#

We got to the end boss with 10 minutes to spare

#

so I guess it was fine

rigid sphinx
#

Yo guy's, after my ST opener. When my KB+SD comes back, do i want to refresh upgrade garrot + rupture before spamming evenoms ?

lofty junco
#

and after a while it was impossible to reach the boss without getting through tons of spiders

normal mist
#

Just cloak and destroy them all brrrrr

steel stump
#

dont soak them with cloak

keen spruce
#

cloak soak is like last ditch effort when boss is sub 10%

steel stump
#

you need it for wracking pain

keen spruce
#

and you need a hail mary to clear some before you're all over run

normal mist
lofty junco
steel stump
#

in 25 you do

normal mist
#

He said 18

keen spruce
#

in an 18 you can just juice box

steel stump
#

thing is, soaking put a lot of shit on the floor

keen spruce
#

soaking still bad yes

steel stump
#

Tank needs to move the boss at the right time

#

and spiders become less of a concern

lofty junco
#

yeah and that was the problem. at some point we had so many pools at the boss it was impossible to get through it without taking like 80% damage

lofty junco
quiet oar
#

Guys Do we love the storming hiding the spider spawn circles

devout wigeon
#

yes

surreal citrus
#

yes

steel stump
#

there's a weird timming when you gotta pack for add spawn, after a few sec spiders spawn and you're better off just leaving and going back to the boss if you got 2 casters

#

otherwise you gotta be really carefull

quiet oar
#

I dont know

#

Why Blizzard decides go make this circle so tiny

#

Like if there is a hunter with two elegons

#

And using beast cleave

You cant See half of your screen

(thsts also annoying on nmyue)

marsh grotto
#

If I were to craft a dagger for playing Sin, should I go for Primal molten shortblade?

surreal citrus
#

what else would you craft

drifting cosmos
#

is BSL stacking error still there? or is it just tooltip

marsh grotto
surreal citrus
#

if you have one from last season you can get it recrafted and it'll cost fewer mats

than making a brand new one

Anyone has the video guide for Assa in M+? I am doing ~150-190k DPS in 477ilvl gear, which is kinda low. Especially compared to DH/hunters. Tried Hybrid M+/Arterial Shock/Cleave builds and they're almost the same ~150-190k. besad

DHs and Hunters just delete everything

agile geode

Then play sin

broken hatch
#

I suggest you dont play CT in tyrannical week

agile geode

But sin strenght Is real on upper keys

Where mobs got more healt

ye u dont ct,thats all

splatter is there

Yea splatter feels very good

ild rather outlaw or sub for keys tbh

coz i dont rly do srs keys

I cant stand outlaw i just dislike the playstyle

royal lantern

keys are not serious by default

rotund oak
broken hatch

And sub feels abit clunky in keys atm but I havnt really given it a fair try yet

ild rather do raid or pvp

Hating on m+ but playing the minigame PogO

sub's fine

just weaker

for aoe

not a real aoe burst specc anymore

how to sim Hissing and Buzzing runes in the same sim please?

swift magnet
#

thanks

lofty junco
#

we are using branch together with DM?

limber lion
#

Yes

agile geode
#

Do you think we'll be nerfed again?

willow kite
limber lion

#

Like multiple consumable profiles

cursive marsh
#

yo asas pros, quick question. Do you spam mutilate/ambush to envenom between CD's or are you just keeping envenom up even if it means overcapping in energy?

crisp walrus
#

Might be a noob question, but do our bleeds snapshot with the mastery we have when we apply the bleeds or is their dmaage dynamic?

willow kite
limber lion
#

And well, technically you can sim consumables in Top Gear as well

#

using profilesets

willow kite
#

It's just cumbersome

limber lion
#

but that's high tech and not really something that we recommend to non-theorycrafters

willow kite
#

Yeah, but you have to manually create the profilesets

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

Which removes from the convenience that is top gear

guys how many sparks of dream do we have ?

regal kiln

ty bro

willow kite
#

Specific effects snapshot though

#

Like nightstalker

limber lion
crisp walrus
#

Alright so its not worth popping branch pre pull to snapshot opener bleeds and then kite the orbs to get uptime for entire kingsbane as well?

#

I know that doing htat is basically impossible anyway

limber lion
#

Nightstalker is the only one and even when you snapshot Nightstalker, everything else that happens after it updates it dynamically

crisp walrus
#

But theoretically

limber lion
#

Yeah, definitely not

crisp walrus
#

Alright good to know

#

So just popping branch with death mark and kiting the orb for at least 6 seconds ig?

limber lion
#

Pick up 2 orbs instantly and kite the third

crisp walrus
#

just long enough to get the entire kingsbane into branch window

#

ok yeah

limber lion
#

Pick up the third after 6-8 seconds

crisp walrus
#

Alright

lofty junco
#

pick up first 2 orbs and just let the 3rd orb come naturaly to me?

fickle viper
#

if ur at the right spot based on the 3rd orbs starting position that can work to get the right timing yes

lofty junco
#

do i delay kb+SD until i picked up 2 orbs?

limber lion
#

No

#

You play normally

#

Press DM + trinket

#

pick up 2 orbs instantly whilst doing rotation normally

#

I'm glad you deleted that message

ornate lake
#

I read your message, not the one above you (:

lofty junco
#

well that will take some time getting used to picking orbs and doing rotation^^

dusk sun
#

Whats the proper timing for branch

lofty junco
#

see above

stable ether
#

Branch or ashes are better?

hushed fern
#

any rogue can review my dps logs rq? it feels like im doing something wrong.

lofty junco
dusk sun
#

Im assuming those are measurements in seconds

lofty junco
#

aye

#

pick up first 2 orbs instantly. thenj the 3rd after 6 seconds

dusk sun
#

Kb is like 14 sec so basically when kb is 7 sec left?

lofty junco
#

u press branch together with DM

dusk sun
#

So 10 sec left in dm?

lofty junco
#

probably. just get a weakaura for it^^

#

ceverion posted one few minutes ago

Theres poo in the water

burnt venture
#

Do you guys always make sure to get out 3 garrote and 3 ruptures in the IC window before you DM/SD+KB when pulling a big pack? I.e Everbloom first pull

limber lion
#

No, just garrotes and then move on to your rotation

#

You can continue to reapply the ruptures during the dance window as well

#

so long as you have Envenom up for KB

rugged sphinx
#

if i mutilate/ambush and get 4 combo points, is it better to just envenom or get max cp

limber lion
#

Envenom

burnt venture
limber lion
#

..........

rugged sphinx
#

ty

burnt venture
#

Ah okay spread with SD while KB**

limber lion
#

Of course you would rupture first

#

no

#

SD with KB

#

and you spread during KB

uneven solstice
#

dots up KB to spaming the splatter with enV

#

big deeps

limber lion

Gar Gar Gar Rup Muti DM Shiv Envenom Dance KB Gar Gar CT or whatever

burnt venture
limber lion
burnt venture
#

And pack almost deadge by then from DH or BM huntard lol

uneven solstice
#

i have a serious question

limber lion
#

Just one Rupture to enable Spatter

burnt venture
#

Gotcha

#

Makes sense

limber lion
#

And then CD's and CT up asap

uneven solstice
#

are you running amplifying?

limber lion
#

With Envenom as high as possible

limber lion
uneven solstice
#

hmmm

#

does it boost the KB that much?

#

i didnt notice to much maybe i didnt hit it perfectly

limber lion
#

Amplifying Poison?

#

Why would it boost KB at all

#

It doesn't do anything to KB

uneven solstice
#

its allows you to apply another lethal

limber lion
#

Amplifying Poison does not do that

uneven solstice
#

which would not in turn have a bigger kb or no

limber lion
#

Dragon-Tempered Blades does that

uneven solstice
#

thats what i meant sorry

limber lion
#

Amp is just a poison in itself

uneven solstice
#

that other build with amplying and dragon temp

limber lion
#

Yes, it buffs the KB significantly

burnt venture
#

There’s like 4-5 builds that are extremely close in sims

limber lion
#

Yeah, I just play AP with VR/Blindside this week

burnt venture
#

I’ve been simming and right now Hybrid sims best for me. But it’s been back and forth a little it seems

burnt venture
limber lion
#

Not quite, but a variation of it yeah

burnt venture
#

Right on

limber lion
#

Can help with soothing the raging with AP

burnt venture
#

I just call it a tank mech and move on 😅

#

But I’m only doing 20-21s

grim jay
#

Even in aoe

burnt venture
#

So like 🤷🏻‍♂️

limber lion
#

What is the cleave build

burnt venture
#

Raid build but iron wire and spatter

#

No CT

limber lion
#

Right

#

Not a fan personally

#

I enjoy my 10% CT's in my keys

burnt venture
#

It does hella boss dam and actually isn’t bad in AoE either especially if you have a DH or BM or Demo Lock melting trash

grim jay
#

That one ye

burnt venture
#

Fortified I don’t reckon you’d consider it much but this week if you running with a couple others who nuke trash it’s decent

grim jay
#

It does surprisingly well on aoe

ornate lake
#

You dont envenom before using SD+KB to buff its dmg?

limber lion
#

You do

frail forge
#

On keys with not a lot of kicks could you drop MA and iron wire for CT? 🤔

burnt venture
#

Yes you do

grim jay
limber lion
#

Would be a bit inting dropping Iron Wire because of the DR portion as well

grim jay
limber lion
#

and it's just insane utility

frail forge
#

Kinda figured

limber lion
#

But technically sure, go for it

frail forge
#

I'll try the cleave build this week. Been using hybrid so far

limber lion
#

it's all the same

quartz locust
#

We shouldn't be going out of our way to refresh rupture after vanish right?

white temple
#

Hello there

burnt venture
quartz locust
#

you can translate btw

#

top right

#

and this was a pure ST fight, IB is stronger

white temple
#

Caustic spatter doesn't translate for a 100k dps increase, plus the way the spears were scattered in the fight felt too spreaded to justify it

quartz locust
#

wait you dont have 4 set?

burnt venture
#

Oh wait I was thinking this was root boss sorry

white temple
#

I don't have 4pc yet, yeah

burnt venture
white temple
#

That big of a diff?

quartz locust
#

with 4pc you should be doing the appropriate dps for your ilvl

swift magnet
quartz locust
#

its pretty major

#

200k+dps would need a big jump in ilvl

swift magnet
#

oh what I said is somewhat related to 4p too

spice spire
#

Your gear is pretty shit ngl

quartz locust
#

but 4pc is like 10-15k dps

spice spire
#

Trinkets less than ideal

#

No Nicholas

#

No 4p

white temple
#

Still, represents a 100k dps diff?

quartz locust
#

you wont be doing over 200k until you ilvl like 480+

#

with optimal gear

white temple
#

Because there're some guys on hc with 467

#

Dealing 200k+

quartz locust
#

same fight?

white temple
#

According to WCL

burnt venture
#

They are likely getting PI/Aug externals if I had to guess

quartz locust
#

yeah

burnt venture
#

If 467 pulling that much.

distant peak
#

Fight length matters a lot too

white temple
#

Hm

burnt venture
#

4pc is the biggest deal though

#

You NEED that

white temple
#

Yeah, been trying but no luck

burnt venture
#

Yeah fair

white temple
#

Spent 2 charges on hero pieces and KSM

#

Will see if I am able to give a try on N

#

If anything fails, I'll live with LFR (if it drops)

chilly viper
#

is it bad to macro KB with Dance

#

dance before kb

oak tangle
#

i mean i did 220k on a 2.5 min LFR kill with no externals at 476 ilvl

#

XD

distant peak
#

Catalyst Tuesday so farm up an off piece and you’re set then

oak tangle
#

(volcoross)

burnt venture
white temple
burnt venture
#

Only time you don’t want them macro is M+ because sometimes you need SD to spread IC Gar/Rup

spice spire
#

Dance after KB Aware

distant peak
white temple
#

3 min fight, Igira, 467

burnt venture
white temple
#

Mine took 439

#

1 :30 min diff tbf

burnt venture
#

Yeah so that’s a huge diff

oak tangle
#

i don't break 200k on igira

lofty junco
oak tangle
#

granted i didn't fight her last week

kind hare
#

Imo sending KB earlier is better

white temple
#

Alright, so it's a matter of time lenght and "minor" gear differences. Rotationally it's all g?

burnt venture
distant peak
#

I don’t see a dps pot in your log but I could be missing it

white temple
#

Too cheap to buy :T

#

I'm kinda broke, so

#

xd

distant peak
#

Stacking cds as much as possible is what elevates dps to the high highs. You should run some sims without dps pot at 4.5 min fight length and see how you compare to the sim. That’ll give you a better sense of how far off you are from your theoretical max

quartz locust
#

also this is the diff of no 4 set for me

runic terrace
#

In m+ do I have to apply garrote/rupture on different targets or, since it's smart targeting, can I apply/spam it on one target only?

white temple
#

So you'd spread 3 then 2

distant peak
#

You’ll lose 1 application every cast but I cba to tab target in anything less than 22

dusky rose
#

!plater

raven bone
#

Is it normal to almost be simming 15k higher in Sub than assa?

distant peak
#

It’s importance is likely very dependent on mob count of the pull

raven bone
#

And being more optimised for assa on top of that

runic terrace
#

Thanks @white temple and @distant peak

burnt venture
white temple
burnt venture
#

Not too much on that fight though

#

Spears is only thing and you can just crowd boss iirc and stay out of those?

white temple
#

On 2nd wep and spears

#

And soak

#

But that's on me, I need to position myself better on it

burnt venture
#

Yeah better positioning and still dps while moving

#

Strafe one way or other and still press rotation

white temple
#

Alr

#

Will watch these

#

Thank you for your help

quartz locust
#

yeah wouldnt worry about outlier high dps parses from others, just optimize and try to hit your sim dps

burnt venture
#

Do you have strafe left and right bound to A and D keys? That helped me tremendously

burnt venture
normal mist
#

I still play q and e

burnt venture
#

Also am no expert, just trying to help with what I see

normal mist
#

And a & d

burnt venture
#

Some people in my guild still play with camera turn on A and D and it infuriates me lol

white temple
quartz locust
#

binding building and finisher to Q and E helps me a lot keeping my rotation going while moving

burnt venture
normal mist
#

I'm playing piano while dpsing WHILE moving right and left BCS of pvp ptsd

quartz locust
#

then i strafe and turn with my mouse

burnt venture
#

But strafe should be bound imo. It’s hard to get used to at first but helps so much with dodging mechs while keeping up dps rotation

normal mist
#

I have strafe... On Q and E

burnt venture
#

Yeah then you fine

normal mist
#

I use the 6 keys to move around xD

#

BCS I'm an idiot who refuses to adapt

burnt venture
#

🤣

normal mist
#

I could have 2 more binds for stuff

burnt venture
#

Long as you don’t stand in shit is okay loool

normal mist
#

Oh no, I know my shit

#

Good old times moving behind casters so they couldn't cast stuff

crisp pine
#

Me running out of my own poison bomb cause I'm scared

#

When in sd kb - rupture and garrote expires should i go nuke in that screen or redott?

#

prob send envenoms more worth for burst window

#

but its so bad for parses

quartz locust
#

refresh garrote immediately after, but otherwise nuke

Hi everyone, can someone please point me in the direction of a tutorial/guide on how to include crafted pieces in sims? I tried adding it via linking in chat after typing /simc but it gives the base lvl of season 1 and I can't seem to find an option in raidbots to make it S3 ilvl, thanks in advance

lofty junco
quartz locust
#

you add the crafted items, manually type the ilvl and add embellshments/enchants etc

swift nimbus
#

you can also use droptimizer with crafted items

How important is a 5+ CP Envenom in the opener before Death Mark?

Is 4cp Env fine before DM/KB?

you want to do 5+ before it, to not have envenom drop

Sin is better than law in organized groups in most keys and outlaw is probably the single best pug DPS atm post havoc nerfs

Also, should you pre-refresh Rupture before DM or KB if they would fall off during, but are not yet in pandemic range?

Same for garrote to get max duration empowered when you apply SD garrote

you will garrote mid kb anyways since you press dance

mighty nexus

i usually refresh rupture so it covers the whole dm
