I see yeah

#

It’s just a tool to help put good practice in

carmine shore
#

is it normal to have to refresh garrote and rupture a little early going into DM-less KB?

#

rupture most of all IG

dusk summit
#

Thanks!

carmine shore
#

don't really wanna be rupturing and breaking envenom chain inside KB yah?

upper spear
#

did we catch another nerf? how are my simms dropping lol

drifting cloud
#

you have wrong talents

#

or sim settings

balmy dome
#

What do you guys have you spellqueue window set to that's most comfortable to you? I have around 35MS

split cipher
#

Spose to be like 10 over your ms (or under, can't remember)

shrewd helm
#

has the stat priority changed from crit/mastery? I looked at blood mallet and its saying 30% crit/30% master/20%haste/20% vers

#

this helm enchant pretty stonk... like 6K on my sims

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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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.

#

damn there is one thats a meme about stat weights

spice spire
shrewd helm
#

.> asking because I wanted to make sure I wasnt over capping. Up until today only have been simming mastery and crit gems

spice spire
#

There’s no capping

#

Robot smart robot lead the way all hail the robot

normal mist
#

And i'm finally 9/9 hc, just downed Tswift

strong wing
#

Wow I’m simming 198k in ST only

strong wing
#

And as sub 224

stable storm
#

guys, how are we doing vs outlaw and sub in high/meta M+?

spice spire
stable storm
#

ppl seem to be swapping over to outlaw

strong wing
#

Thought the nerf was less

stable storm
#

was it the assa nerfs?

gusty lichen
#

does ashes of the embersoul sim correctly? bloodmallet shows it as #2 trinket, but it sims like 3k worse than sandglass + branch

stable storm
#

assa still top dps in raid

strong wing
prisma cypress
#

bloodmallet assumes that your other trinket is just a stat stick

#

it doesn't look at pairings

gusty lichen
#

aite thanks

prisma cypress
#

at the end of the day you probably want one 2-minute on-use and one passive trinket

stable storm
#

isnt wowhead recommended trinkets more accurate?

spice spire
strange python
#

Does anyone knows the margin of error for non-high precision sim? I dont know how accurate non-high precision is to compare double

subtle tundra
#

people just played what they wanted at the start

stable storm
#

well

#

time to farm a one handed weapon LMAO

subtle tundra
#

i mean

spice spire
#

Why

stable storm
#

im gonna play meta in m+

subtle tundra
#

ok then

spice spire
#

Why

subtle tundra
#

you do you

stable storm
#

assa in raid 1000%

#

most fun spec there

spice spire
#

If you have to ask, you definitely don’t have to.
Not flaming at all because everyone is entitled to do whatever.

But if you can’t draw definite conclusions from playing then you don’t play at a level where it matters.

I know I don’t

stable storm
#

i love both assa and outlaw, but havent played sub since shadowlands, I kinda didnt like it, but idk how it is rn

strong wing
#

The only problem for assa in m+ is that you don’t run versa

stable storm
strong wing
#

And feels imposible doing 26 27s

stable storm
#

Im gonna climb a mountain with the best boots possible

strong wing
#

You die to everything

stable storm
#

makes sense tbh, does sub also run vers?

#

or still crit/mast

strong wing
#

Yup

#

Versa/mas

stable storm
#

damn yea

#

vers broken stat needs to be removed 🔥 🔥

strange python
#

Versa aint that bad for assa

#

For aoe

strong wing
#

Kushlul is playing sub rn and pumping like crazy

stable storm
#

for m+ it makes sense to have some? at least for the survivability

strong wing
#

You can watch his streams

stable storm
#

I will, appreciate it

spice spire
subtle tundra
#

yes all 3 rogue specs pump

stable storm
#

i usually watch speed but the mf is playing dh rn 😭

stable storm
spice spire
#

Then no need to ask innit

How come 483 tswift OH doesn't beat 476 nickolas 😦

stable storm

getting a second opinion is always good no? specially when you're not sure

FUCK YOU GUYS HAHAHAH

stable storm
stable storm
#

thats huge

spice spire
#

I only whole ass something.
If I say “I wanna play this spec.” I’d rather know 95% on one than 75% across all three. I also think that’s a difference of mentality (which isn’t to say I’m right here, because I’m definitely not objectively correct)

spice spire
stable storm
ebon mortar
#

does mastery not sim very well? I see my Best item from Vault is a Haste/Verse cloak but i got Hero Eye of Rising Flame from vault. I have a HeavyVerse/Crit necklace

stable storm
#

but thats where the issue I have arises, rogue has 3 fun specs, monk has one dps spec

strange python
ebon mortar
#

i do

simple ore
normal mist
#

that the reason

stable storm
#

I like knowing what im doing, and being able to play it at a decent lvl, which I did for windwalker, and I dont wanna just play one rogue spec, so I kinda wanna priorize learning it's specs by playing whichever is best overall first

ebon mortar
#

so TLDR; i should listen to the sim

simple ore
#

yes

ebon mortar
#

thanks gang!

strange python
#

Like the higher the mob hp the harder it is to get to the 150% remaining

stable storm
#

im 1000% gonna play assa and outlaw, need to keep an eye out for sub though

devout remnant
#

guys any chance sims is broken for us? i'm simming like 35k more dps on outlaw on ST

simple ore
ebon mortar
#

neck is currently Champ track, current cloak just replaces Mast with Verse, thats where i was getting confused

simple ore
#

sim just thinks you have enough mastery atm, nothing to worry about

gentle belfry
#

Embers isnt crucial for anything right? Other than like M+ or something?

forest notch
#

@arctic socket lol Simmed for sub which ill probably do for Smold and it says take pips. I have sims support now ll

earnest ocean
#

So these are my stats and gear right now, I'm an outlaw main but I'm considering switching to assassination for raid, I'm guessing I need to find a way to get my mastery up to do well? not entirely sure the difference as I've never really played anything other than outlaw

simple ore

It’s a simple answer. Sim your character for that spec and take whatever items the computer tells you and just play the spec.

stable storm
#

try getting rings, wrist and gloves with some mastery should be gucci

simple ore
mystic osprey
stable storm
#

tbh sometimes sim goofy aah wrong like

shy pecan
#

Wdym sims goofy?

stable storm
#

on ww i was simming higher dps on double unqiue one handers last season over djaruun weapon

#

but djaarun 100% better on certain scenarios (more often than the one handers) due to being damage on demand

#

very rare case though

shy pecan
#

Rogue APL is infinitely better.

simple ore
#

ww is goofy, that's not a sim issue :^)

stable storm
spice spire
#

WW got more bugs than a bee sanctuary

shy pecan
#

Also just because one spec might sim “goofy” doesn’t mean it applies to all specs.

subtle tundra
#

wtf did i just read

#

i cant put it into words

stable storm
subtle tundra
#

sim said something is better but its wrong even though it is

#

nah youre cooked

stable storm
#

on single target, without having to suddenly switch to a prio target/totem whatever, the one handers will be better

#

but when you need the extra juice the djaruun was almost better, which was always the case in m+

subtle tundra
#

yea but you simmed 5 minute

#

st

#

and it said it is better

#

cause it is

#

you didnt sim

#

totem dps when doing st

stable storm
#

what are you talking about, did you even read what I said?

subtle tundra
#

or whatever

stable storm
#

or comprehend it at all

earnest ocean
stable storm
#

all windwalkers were playing djaruun virtually everywhere over one handers, even when it simmed less damage

stable storm
simple ore
stable storm
#

with 19% u shud be fine tho

Does someone know where to consult that stats delta/triangle page that has the perfect equilibrium of all stats?

Yes, secondary distributions, that was it

Thx thats exactly what I was looking for

even better, to sleep!

I swear some people have weird takes on sims these days

ohh srs is cool

i have 4 friends

#

all playing lightning arrow bro 💀

subtle tundra
#

ill have to play a bow character this league

stable storm
#

i always usually start RF and then try something else
probably gonna try mana RF after im settled

#

i dont like bow builds man they are wierd

#

I saw hexblast (?) looked interesting, dunno if it uses bow though

subtle tundra
#

invest 100 divs into a good bow and then get 1 tapped

stable storm
#

100divs in a bow that cost 10 to craft

#

average meta build experience

subtle tundra
#

hexblast goes hard, league started it last league

stable storm
#

10 if lucky 25 30 normal ig

simple ore
#

flickering step is the best build idc

stable storm
subtle tundra
#

did all invitations and can do uber bosses easily with investment

stable storm
#

I was gonna play flicker this season

#

but idk I didnt feel confident so went for RF

simple ore
#

going brrrr across the map makes my brain make happy chemicals

stable storm
#

ill prob try other stuff on templar, storm brand, mana RF, maybe srs later on

stable storm
#

if you are still able to see stuff on the screen you're doing something wrong

simple ore
#

who said I could see myself

stable storm
#

go carpal tunnal epilepsy gang

simple ore
#

I can see the screen moving

#

rapidly

#

that's all I need

stable storm
#

i got my RF mtx tha doesnt allow me to see shit on the ground (celestial one on sale)

#

for that extra thang

#

so my RF is fucking huge, and it occupies a lot of the screen

green silo
#

for the embersoul trinket, do we wait till we are near our last kingsbane tick before using it or just use it at the start of our burst windows?

stable storm
#

but yea i wanted to try flicker and hexblast thing mostly

green silo
#

Tysm!

stable storm
#

man i want my name purple

simple ore
#

for stuff like that you can also do a quick sim and just look at when the sim uses it

#

and try to aim for something similar

stable storm
#

okay imma go watch some series

green silo
stable storm
#

@ me if you need more factually truthfull sim takes

#

also dont use weakauras, they steal your information in order to train an army of bots to play the game

#

they will come one day

#

i am willfully complicit

simple ore
#

one day? They already exist in pvp

stable storm
#

i stopped keeping up after watching like 10 videos that kept coming out throught the months of that shit happening

#

actually sadge

simple ore
#

it's in retail too

#

like half the top ranked ele shamans in season 2 were bots

#

on twitter, i thought it was just them abusing a macro to pop all procs for em tho right?

simple ore
#

no

#

there are bots that play the match for you

stable storm
#

good lord

#

thats so sad, as if pvp wasnt deadger

simple ore
#

there was a vid on twitter of a mage bot too, all you do is move around

storm forum
#

and if you werent a bot, you were using the kick bot macros

simple ore
#

rop bots were common too lol

stable storm
#

ring of peace bots?

simple ore
#

ye

stable storm
#

how'd that work

simple ore
#

they would insta rop you out of like darkness or amz

stable storm
#

oh damn wtf man

#

i did that sometimes vs that shit and priest buble

scarlet sable
#

got pips and counterweight in vault

stable storm
#

do you really need a bot for that?
gah damn man thats actually sad

scarlet sable
#

can also do second hero wep or get 4pc

stable storm
#

why do ppl do that jesus

scarlet sable
#

wep and 4pc seem more easily obtainable

stable storm
#

SIM ALL OF THEM ZYN

scarlet sable
#

I AM

stable storm
#

BIG COMPARE

simple ore
#

I remember watching a pikaboo video where a botter forgot to turn it off in solo shuffle when on pikaboo's team and rop'd enemies out of their own darkness lol

scarlet sable
#

but am i trading long term gains for short term

stable storm
simple ore
#

it was one of his dh videos from like 3 or 4 months ago iirc

#

the guy came into his chat and tried to argue he wasn't botting

scarlet sable
#

prob take 4pc idk

simple ore
#

just happened to get frame perfect rops lol

scarlet sable
#

is pips decent for us?

simple ore
#

pips is good yes

#

better in m+ but still good in st

stable storm
#

friend is trying to get me to play dh
most wws on pos tell me to play dh bro fr

#

unfaithfull mfs

scarlet sable
#

im a big M+ guy

simple ore
#

I'm playing dh as an alt, it's fun af tbh

scarlet sable
#

gloves means i have all hero 4pc but

stable storm
#

im probably gonna boost one whenever i get war within

simple ore
#

kinda braindead easy in pvp though

scarlet sable
#

idk tier is easier to obtain

stable storm
#

i played dh in s1 and 2 of shadowlands, it was pretty fun man

scarlet sable
#

sim says gloves bc it gives 2pc

stable storm
#

what I dont like is tht you need to be an, god forbid me from saying this term, an elf

simple ore
scarlet sable
#

no but i have 2 tokens in bag just need to catalyze a piece for full 4

simple ore
#

oh then get trinket

scarlet sable
#

i have head pc and curio and aotc

#

right

#

pips?

simple ore
#

lots of people want pips so in raid it's harder to get

scarlet sable
#

i have 1 dreamcarver and 1 424

#

again dagger will drop

#

and tier is tier

stable storm
#

anyway im gonna go dip for a while gonna watch some series
shoutout to the best class discords (peak of serenity and ravenholdt)
watch out for chinese spyware (weakauras) and goofy simms

scarlet sable
#

i think pips is the move

#

counterweigt still garbo?

stable storm
#

I got pip i think its pretty good across all specs

simple ore
#

farm fall, get your nick offhand, take pips

scarlet sable
#

trying too

simple ore
#

I think counterweight will still be very bad

#

after buffs

stable storm
#

I think pip is harder to get since everyone wants it

simple ore
#

it's only like 5% for sin and the buffs will not put it above 9% increase like other trinkets

scarlet sable
#

im taking pips

stable storm
#

what ilvl is the pips?

#

or what track*

scarlet sable
#

hero

stable storm
#

yea man 1000% take pip

scarlet sable
#

yeah solid trinket

#

i have 421 blossom and claw

#

lol

simple ore
#

5k is 2.5%

#

I just auto picked myth track nick of time oujt of my fault but I think might have been the wrong choice. I already have a myth track dagger and a hero track nick of time so im only upgrading a few OH ilvls with it

I got pip and 437 paracausal one for aoe / rocksomething stones for ST

that's significant

prisma monolithBOT

#

okay im taking pips

simple ore
#

I'm sure it's better than before but it's still garbage compared to our actual good trinkets

#

I guess it's at least better until you actually get the better trinkets, before it was a horrible drop to get lol

scarlet sable
#

2pc is 8k dps increae for me lol

scarlet sable
#

im finna BLAST this week

simple ore
#

sin tier is massive

#

get that 4p asap

scarlet sable
#

i know

stable storm
#

we got a catalyst charge this reset

#

i think

simple ore
#

yes

scarlet sable
#

i just need a gloves chest shoulders

simple ore
#

everyone should have 4p this week assuming they did heroic or 2500

scarlet sable
#

and i have 2 tokens

#

just back luck

#

idc if its champ ill tier it

#

get a piece later on

kind swift
#

guys im wearing a hero track branch already i have to take the crab right

simple ore
#

sim it

#

pretty sure mythic branch is better

scarlet sable
#

so pips is what like A tier for us?

simple ore
#

pretty much yes

scarlet sable
#

solid trinket

#

im happy

simple ore
#

it/sandglass are the best st passive trinkets and which is better for you will just depend on your gear

#

and pips is the best passive aoe trinket

plain moon
#

#

raidbots is telling me to take augury but no rogue is using that, theyre all using ashes so im leaning towards that. Just want confirmation from some decent rogues and the 2 on use trinkets until i get the one from Dawn

#

do you guys AOE or funnel when igira spawn the spears

unkempt osprey
#

funnel for me

strange python
#

Is there a way to check IC range on current build?

fading patrol
cursive island
unkempt osprey
#

So I should suck it up and get augury with branch even though 0 rogues are using it?

cursive island
#

You don’t really want to use branch and ashes together. I think Whispyr mentioned this in one of his videos, can’t remember which.

dusk sun
#

is the dungeonslice option in raidbots sim an accurate metric of aoe dps?

cursive island
unkempt osprey
#

i checked raider.io and no one is using augury either

#

gotcha, thank you!

cursive island
#

You can also farm the trinket from fall

unkempt osprey
#

yeah, ill have to, including the daggers

cursive island
#

Which would possibly be better for you, but you’d best sim it really and then consider if you’d like to farm it. You’d likely need to farm nick of time anyway if you want to be optimal.

no matter what i do i cant seem to orange parse :(

gaunt moat
#

It's more difficulty to orange parse now after the nerf + fix to aug damage attribution.
You are still being compared to those parses.

On the flip side, you have better gear so you can do better then you did before.
So I'd focus more on how you're doing compared to your previous parses.

(Also, at least in normal/heroic top parses are full of people that get PI/aug, or by people who did like 50 boost runs)

#

And also you're probably bad.

I was running outlaw in raid for the first 3-4 weeks

#

its all about timings

#

and also if you actually do mechanics then its rip parses

#

Other factors are:

  • Gear ilvl
  • Kill timing
  • How fast your other raid member kill AoE targets
  • Misusing cooldown timings
  • Incorrect usage of abilities

i think i need to learn boss timings better
is there anywhere to look at when bosses phase and such?

not dooming, but i'd like to see a better comparison of where I actually am considering i don't get gear at the same level as CE peeps until after nerfs

near valley

Or abuse authority like me and demand them

oak tangle
#

i want to know how much it's the nerfs for me getting 70-80 parses, and how much it is me

near valley
#

Both?

silk bane
oak tangle
#

definitely both, but to what extent, you can practice to try and improve yourself and still do bad which would make you think you are doing wrong

Do you have a raidspot?

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
sudden brook

Or you've literally not explained to them how PI works

#

Or they are just ribbing you and you are taking it too personally

#

One of the 3

near valley
#

U use said energy later when u can maximise whatever u plan to do

#

I.e envenom uptime or cds or whatever

what you laughin bout @south wing

near valley
balmy condor

he just hits me with the kek

#

I'm wondering what bro's laughing about

void pecan
#

Singet or sandglass for single. Sims say sandglass with branch..

balmy condor
#

then I guess sandglass

void pecan

I knew you would, but I wanted to just see

3x the key level, 3x the amount of vault loot

balmy condor
#

normally +20's are like super hard week 1 and people went in and smashed

near valley
#

Well 20-23 are ez

#

Then u go 25 and u just die to a shadowbolt to the face

#

Elusiveness gaming is the way

oak tangle
#

it felt similar to season 2, i think it's just a gear dif, season 1 doesn't have previous raid bis items

near valley
proud basin
#

anyone have a WA for branch trinket?

oak tangle
#

but i guess i've not played a consistent character this expac, so i've always done the same thing of gearing up through mid tier keys

slate crown
rustic minnow
#

Spiked counter weight still shjt?

balmy condor
#

yep

south wing
oak tangle
#

how much do you think key level inflation has to do with a) missing an entire affix and b) doing dungeons we've already had known routes and strats for

rustic minnow
#

Ilvl increase from last tier to this tier is the biggest it's been

#

So probably that

oak tangle
#

that should technically have made it harder though no?

near valley
#

No seasonal affix deffo affected things

rustic minnow
#

Nope, I don't reckon they scaled things right with the ilvl increase

#

Last tier we didn't have a seasonal either

drifting cloud
#

and last tier people did 33s

oak tangle
#

possibly, though the one shots feel like they're scaled pretty highly

near valley
#

I mean yeah last season didn't have

#

Still affects both regardless in a way

#

The speed of getting gear and ilvl was giga fast last season too

rustic minnow
#

Plus Aug evoker is a thing

oak tangle
#

i feel like a large portion is still that 3 of this seasons dungeons have already been in the m+ rotation

#

you dont have to spend time coming up with routes

#

it really showed on atal, where they had to change mechanics cause it was too easy

rustic minnow
#

The first few weeks were pretty easy affixes

#

Like try pushing this week

#

Looks fun 🙂

oak tangle
#

i dont remember does shiv de bolster?

#

i know it deals with raging, but not sure about bolster

near valley

No

You'll get used to no strikes

Should you?

#

No

But you will

oak tangle
#

it does suck having to be literally inside volkaal in atal to do any damage thoguh

U tea when KB is 6 secs left

vanish and tea are backwards

balmy dome
near valley
#

U vanish at 3 secs remaining

#

So yeah U swapped em around

lucid rain
#

tea 5.9s before kb falls off, vanish at 2.9

#

yeah what he ^ said

balmy dome
#

ah so I clipped the window bad

tall atlas
#

How do we use shiv properly

lime crypt
#

read wowhead guide

near valley
#

Shiv after DM

#

Then Shiv after first Shiv runs out

lucid rain
#

so, shiv is 8 seconds right, and you have 2 charges

#

kingsbane is 14 seconds

#

so you can cover the entire kb with 2 shivs

near valley
#

Man playing sin without amp trinkets Is cursed

lucid rain
#

this empowered garrote had 2.4s left on it

#

you could probably have waited another couple seconds to let it tick one more time before refreshing it with a regular one

#

not a big deal but figured I'd point it out

near valley
#

I just let the empowered run out and refresh as it does

lucid rain
#

ideally this ^ looks more like...

balmy dome
#

okay ty guys

near valley
#

Man I love/hate kingsbane

balmy dome
#

so to just summarize, only tea once, make sure I don't clip vanish and tea for KB

#

Anything else>

this

near valley

It's more like 5.9 secs but 6 secs is easier to explain

But DM I'm always on top of

Lately I’ve been double shiv’ing on accident cause tswift lag gets horrendous

balmy dome
# lucid rain

Please forgive me, but do you DM without a garrote

#

or do you non empowered garrote and then DM?

#

then KB

near valley
#

When u DM

#

The garrote from ur opener

slate crown
#

I feel like I want to add a personal sound to the KB tracker just for when it appears at all

near valley
#

Is enough to last into DM

slate crown
#

so you tie that sound to your cooldowns starting

#

and if you ever don't hear that sound when you think you should

#

you know something is up

near valley
#

Then u use shadow dance garrotes for CP and to make ur empowered last longer

balmy dome
#

I've been messing this up lmao

#

thanks so much that's probably huge

near valley
#

It really is

balmy dome
#

so if you have all CDs up 2 minutes in

#

you make sure garrote and rupture are up

#

then basically go through your opener again

lucid rain
#

as far as garrotes that are not from your opener, you just need to have a garrote that lasts long enough that it doesn't drop off before you garrote in shadow dance

balmy dome
#

DM > Shiv > Dance > KB

lucid rain
#

yeah, sin rogue burst doesn't change much

near valley
#

I just macro my dance and KB tbh

lucid rain
#

you do it once you can do it a thousand times

balmy dome
#

thanks a lot guys, this has been big helpful

near valley
#

Is that u can get empowered gsrrote refresh and a giga rupture

#

Due to stealth buff

balmy dome
#

yeah that makes a lot of sense

near valley
#

And also a better chance to crit the last tick of KB

#

Though when u do u feel great with a 1 mill+ KB

#

And shit when u don't crit

icy acorn
#

vault really likes to give me every set piece before getting anything else

lucid rain
#

I had to take a socket today :)

fast phoenix
near valley
#

And it gets buffed fully by the subterfuge, nightstalker. Whatever it's called buff

#

Rupture refresh takes priority over a envenom press

#

Unless shit has changed and I wasn't aware

fast phoenix
#

Hmmm ok I’m sponging what you’re spilling

#

I’ve been forcing an envemom at the end after the garrote but maybe that’s my mistake

sandglass is just better single target

#

infinitely more people have it

near valley
lean portal
#

yeah they also play sandglass in fortified

#

its geniune question im just trying to understand a bit

near valley
#

Yeah they like boss damage I guess

lean portal
#

okok

#

and in single sigil is better in all cases ? or sanglass can also be better

near valley
#

Then assumed that is the way

#

And so they all just copied each other

lean portal
#

yeah thats what i was thinking

#

no joke XD

#

but if the top players play sanglass in first place there must be a reason

dusty zenith

How would rotation go for when death mark comes off cooldown? Would you shiv dance kb and apply garrote then death mark?

icy acorn
#

you start with dm

near valley
#

U DM shiv

#

Then go into KB stuff

balmy dome
#

Do you gotta farm the buffs for the dagger?

dusty zenith
#

So non empowered bleeds you death mark?

near valley
#

Yes

#

Ur replacing them with empowered anyway

#

From SD

lean portal
#

garrote is empowered if you open

steel saddle
#

pretty sure whisyp says dm isn't worth the gcd inside dance/kb so use it before

near valley
#

Unless u mean opener

#

In which case yeah ur garrote is already empowered

dusty zenith
#

I mean after it comes off cool down

steel saddle
#

it should all sync up with 1 min dance/kb no?

near valley
#

Then yeah ur going in with unempowered

dusty zenith
#

I’ve been doing it wrong and empowering the bleeds

lean portal
#

dm lasts 16s and kingsbane 14s this is just the explanation

near valley
#

The SD garrotes will change them to empowered anywah

dusty zenith
#

I didn’t know that

#

Ty

steel saddle
#

whisp says use garrote right after dance/kb

dusty zenith
#

So do you empower rupture ?

steel saddle
#

as your building towards your envenom

near valley
#

U generate with the empowered garrotes during dance yes

dusty zenith
#

Or just go into empowered garrote and then envelop

steel saddle
#

he said you can but simpler to just envenom chain through kb

icy acorn
#

just apply rupture as it runs out

steel saddle
#

he said technically rupture is slightlyyyyy better but not worth the rotation headache unless your a pro

lean portal
icy acorn
#

its not worth it really

boreal raven
#

having PI thru the end of kingsbane a large deal?

dusty zenith
#

Ok

balmy condor
dusty zenith
#

So typically during dance I shouldn’t empower rupture

near valley
dusty zenith
#

Sometimes I’ll do that

near valley
#

It lines up with pandemic range

#

Otherwise u can in dance if u want to but it's whatever
