shmeeps did u play assa last season in m+
no i played sub last season
CLASIC
in keys
classic
I played assa last season it was fun 🙂
Mythic larodar, throughout pretty much every pull on the boss I underperformed, not sure where I went wrong
I really didn't like active IC
ngl, i haven't gotten used to the new IC
not a huge fan
although going into pulls with no IC was also dog
False bestie
you goofed up your trinket orbs on your 3rd deathmark during lust

Yeah the pull is kinda scuffing me a lil there and I think I popped them directly underneath the boss when he transitioned
So couldn’t run under him to pick them up
and this first envenom should be 5pt+
otherwise it drops
and specifically for parsing on larodar
you can speed up your opener to make sure you KB is cranking during adds
with the default opener only the first few ticks hit them
and you lose a lot of pad
Yeah, our DH just fucking murders them instantly
my assa gear is so trash idk what i should farm next...

Nicholas?
What’s that next to it
If you add
,ilevel=x
And then put the max number of the upgrade path the item is on behind the item, then do that to all items in your simc string& hit a droptimizer you will know whats the next best thing at the chosen ilvl on the droptimizer
I only see 1
Dreamcarver next to it
yeah but it's myth track
i didnt even upgrade all the items in this but yeah
i got lucky in my 1st vault
that thing is NOT doing any work as my offhand in outlaw but w/e
@fallow glacier but yeah overall looked fine
just try to clean up orbs and watch Whispyr's videos about CDs
he covers larodar specifically
and the accelerated opener
hard parse fight
If u put the ,ilevel= thing behind the items in ur simc string it will pretend to be that ilvl in sims so u know if you should upgrade that or get another item on that slot
why is my guy sending shit into a set that gets blown up by dragon riders?
dragon riders? 
I SEE AOE I DO AOE
ah
i'm flattered
You’re missing chest death dagger
mb i still see flaming tree's when i close my eyes
stealthi u watched enough of our prog last tier
Thanks for looking, did actually start watching the video just got distracted half way through
Is it rly that bad
to know that we're not gonna be on tindral for a hot minute
i mean also
both are burnin trees
did not see

hitting dummy atm

and i refuse to take it on sin for 3% dps loss
stealthi flexing
thats gottab e with flag
flag+branch lmfao
flag + branch
my sub sim is 232.4k with branch
lot of haste for sub
and 229.8 with ashes
thats cause i play sin
😉
oh i bet you sub like the 489 mh better than 483 nick of time
its kinda the same on my sin
i have the 489 from 2nd boss
yeah i have that weap but never ugpraded it
because it was 0.1% dps for the crest spend
weak af
but that was for sin
do i catalyst this belt

no reason not to, unless you need charges for something else
crit mastery doesn't sound much better
but the answer is sim yo self
bop, shadowmeld (by you or any party member), vanish
You can vanish once he starts chasing you. But only once he starts moving iirc
Okay thanks
Correct, ask zac what happens if you vanish early

@midnight mist what happens if you vanish early in AD
Anyone here do vod reviews? im ilevel 479 and my damage sucks.
Good fuck them healers
like single target dummy i can barely maintain over 100k lol
...you wanna be my healer? 😳

No idea what you are talking about
This means almost nothing.
What is your target dummy sim? How long are you hitting it? Are you logging it?

@spice spire where can i find that sim numbers out for target dummy. Sorry if i sound ignanttt
and now reading up how to log
Quick sim (on raidbots) > target dummy instead of patchwerk
yo yesterday someone ran a ! command and it showed some weakauras

shit thats patchwerk lol
Its wierd it has blue silken uptime but i dont have it lol guess thats just a general buff u can add in.
Ok thanks, you use it on CD or always try to use it with kingsbane everytime?
Thats for single target, no blue silken uptime and 10% corrupting rage (cuzzz i dont use it?) So essentially im leaving 40k dps on the table somewhere
In kingsbane, only envenom at 4 points up? Or is 3 OK to keep chain going?
I believe 4 is the rule, with the exception of when you're going into kingsbane
Then you want 5+
4+
Gotcha, so mutilating at 4 for a 6 envenom is a dps loss and should only be done if at 3 during kingsbane
in general, but yeha
4+ is always
you only go for 5+ for the pre kingsbane envenom
They definitely do work
all other finishers are 4+
Huh?
its a possible dropt from vault
I feel like I'm missing something with the 4-piece rotation and that I'm never getting the proc to go off, never felt like i had a rotation issue until now
the dmg from the 4set comes from envenoming with the envenom buff up
I saw that, but is there a change to rotation that needs to be made to ensure you're landing envenoms in that window?
I didn't think so
Read About Pooling

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 is jsut that
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
sophic of wafting?
Sophic mh wafting off
I sim better with wafting on both
Wafting is better because you can smell the boss better
If you wanna multispec you kinda want to go sophic anyways ig
If u sim Sophic/wafting and add all haste/mastery/vers gems & enchants over double wafting with all gems&enchants the dps will be around the same either u go more stats and rely on proc or u go more proc and less stats
yes
God ur so real for this
its the best gif i have saved
but what if the sims are all a lie by big simc?? 
what if… stats dont matter
enchants are optional
breathing deeply into a bag
wait so ypu are sayng big sophic payed big simc to make false sims for profit???

Big Graceful Avoidance interfered in the 2020 election
This part is right at least
Stats don’t matter, what matters is what the robot says
Gratz on your cloaks and wrists and maybe those same pair of gloves from last week
anyone can explain which build is focused on what? which is pure m+ aoe, which is m+ cleave, which is ST and which is ST with cleave
I hope everyone gets a myth track Nick in their vault, unless I don't and then I hope everyone has bad vaults
That means youll get a myth track nick next week
and then it can go to my offhand 😄
Crafted dagger only goes to 486
At least for me 483 nick > 486 crafted
LFR Fyrakk and helm enchant? i dunno
For the hidden buffs and nerfs
https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/assassination/DAOFVVFRRFURQmJBQCQQNVURUVUZUEEoVQBF Been watching this guy on yt hes nasty but whay is this talent build? Lol
what**
Who have you been watching?
sybelysa is the name
Its one that is in the guide aswell 
And that's in the guide
Yeah
It's called cleave build
Which focus on spatter dmg + 4set dmg + strong ST
i love itt it helps so much w the shit st damage of the art precision build
It isn't shit (?)
It didnt have shit single target with the VR and BS version
can anyone send me a caustic platter WA?
what build i play on m+ in tyranicall week?
cuz my single target dmg sucks
in raid i have good
The one you enjoy the most
play cleave if you want singletarget
And then you get better at it
Most people use plater for that
Any "tell me when" chads around here?
Oldschool 
I still use it
I have no w.a besides branch and raid/m+ ones
Everything I wanna track I just use tmw
fair
GL on vaults today, team
Wish it was today
GL on vaults today, NA team
god blesss me w a 483 nickkkk 🥲😥😥😥😥 PLZZ
483 Nick's falling from the heavens
Yo, i'm very new to the spec, and read a few if not all the guides so far. Is it correctly understood you basically never Shiv outside of kingsbane windows? I don't see how you are going to get 2 charges up again if you do
Yes
Got muh 483 nick last week. Greedily hoping for an OH nick this week. 🙏
Or a wb trink
So basically my biggest issue is spazzing my abilities until im energy starved.
Tough to learn that it's ok not to push buttons sometimes
I simmed and watched a dew yt'ers and noticed they pause a little and have a more rhythmic approach
Lol
you can't have a 2nd until the whole class gets one
and theyre always above 150 on energy and evenoms always up
Watch whispyrs vid on youtube on pooling
is Augury of the Primal Flame good for assa?
Sim, but afaik, not really
done
You have better options
if you dont have cooldowns
you just afk
and keep envenom up
and garrote and rupture
lmao basically and it goes against everything in me
to not go apeshit
especially in +24, 25
You played fury before?
Now i have Witherbark's Branch and Cataclysmic Signet Brand, the most op trinkets i guess
XD
is that my calling?
Yea Christmas daggers

Gonna change my mog
If you wanna apeshit 24/7 yes
I'm really struggling to keep envenom up 100% and also staying about 150 energy. I guess it's easily possible i just gotta learn
You never keep it 100%, never
Right, i don't have 4 set yet, so i dont think chaining is the way to go yet?
i practiced For about an hour this morning on the targ dummy and my dps id almosy exactly what im.simminh
Sanguine shouldn't always be played around 4p more important

yeah

Sanguine is kindve just there thougg if you pool right while.keeping envenom up for the 4pc
I'l lget there. Just startet yesterday 🙂
right after vanish and finish up ur cds just take a deep breath and light a jay
Hahah i'll roll up a few before we start next key
I basically just do keys, but the downtime on a boss during pooling is a good time to look at timers and whatnot to plan your next burst
I play keys without watching the timer, I have it turned off
Less pressure, less mistakes
I'm still learning, I need the assistance
What assistance? You're not the one controlling the timer
oh
Not the dungeon timer
boss timers etc

i got an envenom timer, kingsbane meter, and caustic timer
Yeh
Caustic only matters on trash, kingsbane meter o have no idea what it does
I feel like every time I try and burst with the stupid tree boss in WM it's like.. .yeah it is your turn for roots you soab
He decided I was the one on my +20 this week
it a little meter that has hashmarks when to hit tea and shiv/vanisj
Love at first sight
three in a row once
its sooo fucking helpful
like bruh give it to the dumb wizard standing 500 yards away like an idiot
I honestly just memorized the timers
Rainman ova here
I'm also the guy who doesn't have DBM tho
you get a feel of timings after a while - I'm starting to feel that for KB windows but I still have the WA
No bigwigs/dbm is kinda inting
can't even precloak or vanish bait thorns
Unless you got all boss timers via weakauras
coven and tree fuckin suck for ass
Negative sir, I literally memorize the fights really quickly
there should be a target warning for thorns, honestly
I've never used dbm
I hate the fat dude too because he keeps LoSing me somehow
anyone actually use corrupting vials??? im at 100 alch and wanna spec into it if its worth ir
in WM?
No wonder you're only now doing 20's then
yes
I mean, why do 21? I already have the portal at 20
It's literally inting. Mechanics and timers are not always static
some tiny pieces of garbage on his trash heap will LoS me
But you do you
close enough, vulpera
Never have I ever been the problem in any raid I did, so I'm fine, I'm also an heroic raider, and 20s for portals and call it a day
that and his geometry making my branch orbs spawn under me and ruining my kb ticks
When should i renew the poisons in st? (rupture and garrote)
I'm not a pusher, I play for rewards
yup, I do that for some stuff, too
Again, you do you. Literally gimping your team and yourself without em, but you do you.
How?
what do you think the top key levels will be this season - feels like they are already going pretty high
Could you explain how am I gimping my team?
without any nerfs not much higher since you just die 100 to 0
Probs like 34's
Depending on keys of course
yeah, i'm sure there will be further tuning on some of these
hopefully they delete Rise
that would be nice tuning
Because it would be really helpful to know why me not using dbm is gimping my team @limber lion
watching tyr stinging swarm in a 25 key like 
those initial shadow bolts, too
no target indiction, random - 700k+ on like 24+ keys?
yikes
yeah those things are cringe
Wait is it officially Christmas transmog season
Yes
If you only REACT to mechanics or preemptively try to GUESS when they happen, it literally leads to worse results than perfectly knowing what happens when.
Like trying to walk across a street with your eyes closed and hoping no cars drive over you because usually at 1:27pm there isn't cara driving on that lane
World first 28 rise happened but they had to cheese the first boss
I looovee brh lol
yeah saw that
i did get my shit rocked in a 25 tho that final boss
only one team has done EB 28 on Tyr
Could you provide an example from the raid? Where dbm would make my life easier p.e? (Up to heroic, I don't raid mythic)
That a serious question?
Assassination for one is a spec that requires preemptive planning for cooldown usage so you don't end up wasting cds before adds come up or before the boss goes immune or whatever.
I highly doubt you know the specific timer on every heroic fight this tier when you pull them for the first time
All of them. Every boss.
They literally make the encounters easier
Which is why it's been debated whether they should be allowed or not
And also why Blizzard designs bosses the way they do
FF gamers would say we’re cheating
Encounters are balanced around them so rip

Because they assume that most serious players have those addons
The only boss which I haven't yet really understood the timers was tswift on the leap off and fyrakk first leap off
Ff encounters aren’t designed for dbm
Yeah it’s a different game entirely
bro just get it lmao it takes huge load off you as far as things to track
If you used dbm in ff it would trivialize it. And they actually do have something like it that a part of the community uses
Servers are up apparently
But I've never had problems before tho xD
Because you don't know better
it's not that you can't do fights without dbm or bigwigs it's that using them does make it easier
that's not a question
Wait till he finds out about weak auras lol
who raids even, though cringe
And all of them are not static. Some things happen because of what happens in the fight
not that you can't do these things without those mods but, the information they convey is super useful
Just never used dbm
dbm dungeons is niceee "move your feet" gettin yellled at me.400 times a run
If you've never used either id really recommend getting big wigs
I used DBM for a long time, but use BigWigs now as well
Imma try it out today then, we progging tswift HC today
I so used to DBM so i stick to it
Less interruptive and always up to date
But the majority of my grp uses big wigs
what extra does wigs do?
give one a try even if you are familiar with mechanics and avoiding damage you'll likely notice that your cooldown usage becomes more efficient
The same shit, different flavor
and you get more damage as a result
it's good to configure these, too - you don't need alerts and timers for everything in the game
Nothing extra really its just a tad bit more minimalistic
But honestly, as parsing goes, I've managed to keep good parses overall (I'll not talk about normal parses even tho I enjoy doing it) in heroic since SL
So me happy
Good for you
If it means I'll do even better
imagine what you could do with them, then
Yeah I'll try it
I know I couldn't reach my parsing goals in Sepulcher without timers
how do we check vault w/o being home lmao
visualize the NoT
But we aim for different things anyways
Most likely not, and yeah we aiming differently xD
Have your mom walk down in the basement and log on
if i get nick ima shit on these walls
My goals are to beat my guild and be #1
Trash
i can have my dog hold up lemme call her
lol
As in #1 in your guild?
Which I've been doing since SL
Why stop there
I was several times top1 server too 😦
I despise this game
"Belle i need that nick of time u gotta log in to wow for me" "Yo that shit that keeps u from takin me outside 50x a day"? ...uh yeaa..
I could kill Gnarlroot on HC on an RP server with 3 players and be r1
i don't think it's possible for me to get a good vault
Or do a +4 falls
Not all servers are equal true
Love the pants
Im more excited for the catalyst charge ( which i think is this week)?
k here we go
My man you shooting at me, please calm down xD I can explain and give more context but I'm on the phone
FUCK
do we?
wait no
i thought we dont. lol
we don't, no
I was thinkign of sub
lmao
Nono, I'm trying to motivate you to push further
the royal we
I hate this game again
Do not settle for "best in guild"
i got the galakrond ones w leech theyre dope
i took a myth helm last week to catalyse this week, and my vault this week is 2 helms
F
my vault is traaaash
i aint checkin your vault bro
I only did one m+ so we take whatever we can get
you have to scroll WAY down on the whispyr trinket guide to find that counterweight
my choice is a myth track cloak vs saving a catalyst charge for next week
waaaaaaaaaaay down
Fucking socket angle
lol like D class for every spec oh well neck upgrade time
Lmao counterweight is the biggest FU
cw is gaaahbage
Last piece of tier we get is shoulders?
i have like 5
I mean in the order that drops from raid
❤️
REEEEE
GG
Congratulations you won the game
grats
at 489?? DAAANG
Big
big d energy
im crying 
I hate u but also congrats
Me too but for different reasons
lmao
Let's put it this way: I usually play for 20s portals (if I feel like it), Aotc, and 1800pvp for the elite set and I call it a season. While doing it, I try my best to parse good in raid and be useful in m+.
There are seasons I enjoy parsing, other that I don't (sepulcher... Hated that raid). I'm a simple guy, you truly understand now we aiming for different stuff?
As for R1 server I meant being the top1 assa in hc parses for some raid tier in my servers (3 linked), until I eventually quit raiding and I lose it.
The most fun I have is parsing normal because there are pretty much no mechanics so I can just zugzug bosses
RIP Bozo
i would love a mythic track dagger so i can parse
IS THAT A NEW COPYPASTA
i hear someone needs to be banana'd for getting a nick of time from weekly
but that aint happening
No
Bro? Mad?
very
Nah just some guy talking sadge
Let people get nice things man
I swear to god you sass me again I’ll kiss you on the lips
Glad I am not the only one at least
Also sad vault. Can take a myth chest to catalyse or a hero leech shoulder to catalyse
you do realize i eat food from out of the trashcan right?
Match made in heaven
Depends...
Based
depends on the ass
would mythic pips over sandglass be better in any circumstance? (inb4 just sim)
Good luck next Tuesday king
Cata this week?
Yuh
Chest is obvious. Rest can be replaced my doing just M+
So running 1 blue silken and toxic boots is only a 164 DPS Loss in ST and a very nice gain in AOE
is the blazefury neck any good for us?
I think I should do that?
game should be banned from giving you more than 1 item of the same slot
3 of my 6 optiosn were helmets
that aint right
Yeah dedfinitely, still sad though lol
woooooo trinkets
Let me see if there’s any changes
do yall use crimson temp with 4 set or is it better to just use env for explosions
in m+
do both
Depends on the build and the goal but if it is talented, yes, use it in AoE
well thats why I was asking cause I have 2 builds for aoe, one with and one without tempest
so if env explosion is better dps anyway Id' rather play without for more St
word thats kinda what i've been doin

thanks yall
damn bro chill out lmao
I kinda hate you fr fr
Taking ash or brand?
thats a nice vault
Must be nice to have choices
nice gratz
I think pips is really good for us no?
I've contemplated sockets every single week before this
and signet for ST
don't @ me kid
There was implementation recently but I can’t see it on mobile 
Im desperate for one too.. Might just craft one this week

Understandable
full myth track vaults
Meh figured... Dropped from 218k down to 212
contemplating socket vs saving 45 crests
dont be like me and get crit mastery legs with avoidance and forget about the cata and give away the pants. My pain is unmeasurable today
we down bad
talk about down bad
U got the transmog set
you take the 483 pieces to save crests
big tier day
Literally all 3 pieces 
or cry
I think i take Chest
oxi blessing vaults today? 😛
We've gotten to the part of the season where I despair at getting tier in vault
fort/bolster hrmm
i mean they cant make it to where the vault wont drop shit you already have? i meaaann daaaamm
facts
gotta keep us on the hamster wheel you know
@thorn fjord prayge tindral dies this week
and we start the journey to perma poe time
You guys over 400 pulls?
ahh chillen
best pull is like 60% I think
Soon bro soon
Go get your helm enchant
Not Skylining it smh
we tried but we had to rearrange raid nights cause people were gone
we cancelled raid sunday night
cause one of our healers has wish.com internet
(aka comcast)
Lmao
Good ole comcast
did you enjoy the 162 pulls?
i dont think he even enjoys the game
I loved learning one set of feathers for the first half and another set of feathers for the next quarter, and then the third set of feathers for the last 40
and I'm upset that they didn't add even more feathers with this latest tuning
I was hoping for 20 feathers by christmas
cause someone unironically looked at p1 and said "2 more feathers will fix this"
oxi the 🪶 enjoyer
My favorite part of TSwift is being legally blinded
I wanted 10feather and after they spawn they start turning around the boss like a carousel

you get used to it
and by get used to it
I mean you become ray charles
and just go in blind
like literally this time
I pull out the shades ngl
Does this come with piano buff?
tindral on pull pov
I feel like someone has deffo gotten an epileptic seizure on that boss
honestly the biggest nerf to that boss would be removing that moonfire texture
saving the eyes of thousands
True and oh so real
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qTLH4MstX9PmZ1br7xA5PJ what for real Sims doesnt recommend Pips over current trinkets?
telling me to catalize gloves over pips
that seems wrong
lol
Cheerful! After weeks of bad vaults and 50 plus runs of falls. Finally a NIck of Time
Just going off of this, I should probably take pips no?
Seems like its a better sandglass
Guys, how big of a chance do i have to push for top m+ players for title as PUG player ?
Im scared to trust sims for trinkets as trinket are more rare and sometimes maybe not optimal with my exact gear set but best overall later
but maybe im crazy
it works entirely different
sorry same as in dmg, was bgoing by this statement
I had 1 upgrade to do, Raidbots told me to upgrade my helm from 473 to 476 instead of my Doti dagger from 473 to 476 although I believed the weapon was the priority (maybe it's the stats idk)
Slightly worse than pips
pips should be better with multiple targets tho
even if its not better for your current ST gear
Wouldn’t pips value depend on stats dr also?
it just feels so odd to take gloves over myth track trinket but I know feelings dont = math.
just wanted to like triple verify with some experts
before I took gloves
I never liked damage proc trinkets
whats your current glove ilvl
it will be 483 this week with 1 of my catalysts
but Im pretty sure I accounted for that in sims
ohh I didnt
shit
lets try again
ilvl always is big on the med-high mainstat slots
you gotta compare with whats easily attainable
which would be 483,ye
ya I thought I did, adjusting and rerunning now as I had forgotten to included an upgraded pair of my current gloves
so ya it was a 476 - 489 jump
What trinket was it?
asking me?
Oh the hourglass
You’re passing up on a pips?
How much damage difference
Pips didnt even show up which was odd
rerunning agian though
with the proper ilvl of current gloves
so outcome might change
it doesnt if you sim a trillion things and its worse than or in line with your current setup
ya it was a big sim, this one is more isolated
its almost done so we will see lol
and ya
lol
hence why id like to take it
just want it to mathimatically make sense as well
If it’s a 50 damage difference
I would grab the pips
damm still no pips wtf
ok 120 dmg diff
probly fine thne
wait nm
like 800 dmg diff
Game can Fuck it self with thst one
Flavor packet is like 500 dps trust

sims might also want you to go for more haste than what you currently have to make pips better. I'd honestly take pips, even if only for m+
I dont get how 6 ilvls on gloves is worth a 6ilvl pips over hourglass
If I was in your situation
stat diff
It would be pips for me
If you put haste on crafted it prob will be your top
i have like 23% haste and sim wants me to go for haste gems 
ya im leaning pips as well tbh, myth gloves will be much easier to obtain in future
ya let me try
I have haste crit legs, haste crit wrist and haste gems over mastery or vers stuff
Gratz on your pip trinket
and yeah hands is second and 3rd boss
if you go volcoross 3rd
You’re really chasing those kb poison applications
With all that haste
Trynna not have to get pi huh
does nick of time "time strike" stack? im asuming yes but just wanted to confirm
Question for you all.

Wearing Heroic Branch/Champ Periwinkle atm. Choice between Mythic Peri or Mythic Branch. Scared I wont see branch again, but cloak dmg increase is better. Thoughts concerns pls.
brother
you are
36 ilvl down
on your back
take the trinket you dunce
takes sooooooooo long
you cant get the trinket somewhere else and its BiS
How much is the new head enchant going to matter for raid ST? I somehow only have 27 so I'm not going to have it for ages. 😢
the back is whatever
One thing I miss about Devoker was the Sims were SUPERRRR fast
you get 483 all the time
hey guys if im at 4 cp and i get a blindside proc. do i just envenom then use the proc ?
2%
on max profile
Si
much thanks. Good to know!
tldr back is whatever and the trinket is "BiS", just take the trinket and farm a 483 back
https://www.wowhead.com/news/spiked-counterweight-trinket-buffed-on-weekly-reset-336685 Is this any good for us now?
Seems like it might slap with KB if it procced
more random procs ❤️
we'll prolly never see the day that trinket is any good
it never even was iirc
for anyone
people said this about mydas talisman
lmao
dono if this is a dumb question or not, but with DTB does it matter what order i apply my poisons
I do have one of these thankfully if its ever goodl ol
Nope
thanks
Just apply the correct ones
mydas was slapping pretty hard before I got branch
also ive seen different info from youtube/wowhead guides, the first 4-5 globals before CDs in the opener, is there an optimal way to garrote, then get rupture snd n envenom up before i go into deathmark
(From stealth) Garrote > Ambush > Rupture > mut > SnD > Mut to 6 > Envenom > Deathmark > Shiv > SD + KB > KB rotation
are there ideal statweights for sin or is it kinda adhoc (i.e. get as much of x as you can)
thanks
not an expert but I'm operating on the logic that it's a lot easier to fill a back slot to replace a BiS cloak without missing noticeable DPS. You can't say the same for branch I don't think. I would take branch ez
I was taught that, outside of 4 piece tier, only trinkets and weapons matter to a degree worth caring about
I took the trinket.
Im mostly sure this is correct but I believe there is also some cases where you want to accellerate CDs and do
(From stealth) Garrote > Ambush > Rupture > mut > SnD > Deathmark > Shiv > SD + KB > KB rotation
And envenom inside of KB earlier
gartz
Didn't realize the cloaks arent that crazy when it comes to upgrading.
since i got you here, i got one more for ya lol
any chance this will be good now?
on council, am i even bothering to swap targets for rupture or just letting IC do its thing and single target dpsing whatever boss were on at the time
multidot as much as u can, meaning dont cross the entire room just to re dot
10 4 thanks
Recommend watching Whispyrs videos on YouTube and reading the wowhead guide properly. Nothing is a substitute really
also if ur in prog u gotta be ethical, will have to dps Pip on its own a lot
when ur in farm u can ignore pip a bit more
keep your stuff up on as much as you can without runnign across room
I hate that little blinkingbastard
oh ya, what Zarhoes said
fr specially when u see its like 20% behind the other two so you gotta deathmark it on its own 😦
We killed Council this week, my rogue parse was assssss though
worst part is when he blinks mid deathmark tho
but boss died
brh neck and brh cloak, and tier gloves
so neck cause I can just catalyst gloves down the road?
We did Aerwynn + Ursoc until 15% on Aer then we did Pips + ursoc until all low then called audibles as needed
worked well

This is an easy choice
it is
need to get a better parse this week if I can, but chasing Aerwynn during CDs sucks or getting ducked
sexyyyy
:O
i jyst didnt want BOTH at the same time
Nick of time if you dont already have myth track wep though
i usually send my deathmarks on aerwynn and the rest on ursoc/pip
just cuz aerwynn is the least likely to jump away during my cds
the other 2 move constantly
theyre so annoying
ya Aerwynn jumping seemed a bit RNG for us
it wasnt always consistent

so might focus my CDs into ursoc if he just did charge etc
nah i'm using a crafted mh and a 480 dreamcarver so I'll upgrade the nick to 489 then put my crafted in my oh i think
we will see though, Whispyr helped me go over some of it in coaching
and gave some good pointers
ya makes sense
Is pad dmg the key to parsing on tindral?

The secret council tech 
Shadowstep's cooldown is reduced by 33% when used on a target afflicted by your Garrote. In the Rogue Talents category. Learn how to use this in our class guide.
myth track wep probably biggest upgrade
deffo
damn
didnt think about it
ill try it out this week lol
i think i calced it earlier, 489 nick + crafted oh is like 3.5k dps gain over my current mh
i dont remember where it is in the tree
Idk if it’s even there anymore, i think you need to lose giga important stuff to even path to it
I am going to take the 3yd talent on nymue though
Even with trying to force more haste with enchants https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/aYmBMQ7gj5711EpDTUfL37 , Stillll no pips WTF SIMS AGREE WITH MEEEEEE
Sims out here making this choice harder
Guys, everytime i switch talents my bars change, do you have any idea how i can make so that they never change when i switch talents cuz im kinda bored of adding and removing stuffs
So I just started playing again after having quit during the last season and I'm still in my sub gear from last season which means I actually have negative haste. Does this have a large effect on how energy starved I am? I feel like I'm starved all the time but could also be a gameplay problem since I'm still not doing the rotation perfectly
you can edit the talentbuilds so it uses the same bars
haste has no noticable effect on energy
running out of energy is normal and assa is supposed too do that
when selecting a talentbuild click on the cogwheel
!up
love you mate
ah man that sucks, probably also a gameplay problem tho because sometimes it takes like 6 seconds before I can press anything
hey guys, how come my sim is not taking ashes from vault? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jLuerzu5SiqXrhRwgUPtRu
it may be reductive, but coming in and asking why your energy management is shit, but also being like 440 ilvl, is kinda like asking why your face is wet when walking in the rain without an umbrella
because branch is busted in sims
and if u play it well its better than ashes anyway
very very stupid question but it happens often: do you have poisons applied
Yeah my WA tells me when I don't
and no, running out lf energy doesnt suck, assa is just no 24/7smashing nonstop
pooling energy sometimes is part of the gameplay
You have branch and glass.
Both are really good trinkets
Ah right so I should be pooling instead of being at 0 energy and pressing the ability as soon as i'm able
so if you have witherbark/hourglass it's better than any other combo?
I am ignorant, was the easy choice the Pips or the Nick of time?
Is it just me or is fall on high tyr, 2nd boss just aids on rogue
lazy rogue question- do any of you macro SD + KB *and garrote?
!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
for pure single target, signet brand > sandglass usually
for aoe/cleave generally yea, witherbark and sandglass are ur best bets
even heroic brand?
for me yes, you'd have to sim though
I still have my old 4-set so guess I'll just stay above 50% energy
not lazy, you'd be less likely to find people who dont
I dont 
dont do that in m+
I got SD and KB macro'd but not garrote
I just noticed in my logs I fat finger everything BUT my garrote for my next cast
unless people are spell sequencing or whatever its called
oh yeah not the garrote part
I have dance macro’d into kb but i also have dance keybound separately in case
no bueno
you can use it to spread bleeds
if tank does some stupid ass chain i like to have it up to retrigger ic
ahh I see
i don't seperate them in keys and it's fine
usually just start keys with the two buttons together but if i realise the tank has no clue what my class does
i use them seperately
I have it both macroed and separate on bars for that reason. Just was trying to fix my stupidity with garrote
What is actually the reason we use SD with KB?
10% damage increase
nightstalker
just going to have to get my fingers to press correct buttons
Nightstalker buff snapshots on kb
ah right
So if u press kb during dance the whole duration is buffed by nightstalker
with the cleave M+ build its helpful to keep them together
In theory u could kb the last second of dance and the whole duration would be buffed
cleave or shock this week for mythic+ (fort/bolst) 
I'm thinking cleave
im thinking dont play this week
cleave might be nice for the bolstered dudes from all the ape dps'ers
fort is a fun week for us
nice lil alt week
there is basically no appreciable difference between builds (mostly)
yeah
ya but then you likely wasting globals of SD prepping for KB
You could actually do that in 1 macro with
/use [form:2/1]Garrote
after the SD/KB part.
It would take 2 button presses, but would still work.
all seems super great and fun and lovely
ie you either have to spend aglobal on shiv or shiv + DM
then whats even the point xdd
vs doing the prep before hand and then SD + KB same global
Spiked counterweight buffed, surely that's not enough to make it viable now
idk man
than you dont waste globals of SD
There's more of a difference in low keys I found. Things dying before KB just feels bad
i am a macro hater
only acceptable macros are trinkets on cds or pi whispers for me personally
M+ with Randis are way too situational to macro anything together
I do macros like this, but its mainly to keep my UI less cluttered with buttons
i mean thats fine
and in this case I think always want to ambuch > Mut if you can
so this macro makes sense
haha, I do get to this at one point
once its al lfull memoru
memory
Pressing 1 button twice is easier than pressing 2 separate buttons I guess 
I wouldn't do that personally, but makes sense. It's similar to my SD/Strike macro for Sub
but still adjusting things as I learn
you do know you not longer need to have ambush / mut on different buttons / binds
So why does mutilate automatically change into ambush when you get a blindside proc but not during SD or when you're in stealth?
Fins
hows my stat distribution lookin
ya for my KB macro I have you do if you use a macro like mine as the macro version of Mut doesnt swap
Did you read blindside
I ahve to explicitly tell it to swap
I like pressing the buttons honestly, I'm just trying to retrain 14+ years of muscle memory
