#

You plan your cooldowns around it

#

You can dump it in trash, and make sure you have it back for boss

What talent setup do you opt for?

Cleave feeling good rn personally, but hybrid is dope too

#

question on heartsbane, do we dump CDs into easy sister? or save for hard sister?

#

just realized that thinking about CD timings if you don't shroud into heartsbane, holding DM if you pull first pack with captains and etch lady and then DMing triad but first sister is relatively free

near valley
#

My outlaw brain was out here wondering wtf u meant by saving cds on that fight

carmine shore
#

having healed that fight a fair bit, the 2nd sister is by far the spookiest. now that i have myth leaf trink from EB even the nettle is NBD.

Leeching poison really is just that good

#

Ring prob biggest dps increase for most

#

whats the best effect from dreamcarver?

slim hamlet
#

Prob movement speed or "cheat death" one

kind forge
#

leach or movement speed

#

leach Okayeg

slim hamlet
#

Leech hyper useless, but they all are tbf

kind forge
#

slim hamlet

its also still early enough int he season that you probably got at least a ~2% upgrade from vault and ilvl upgrading stuff so it's even less noticeable

static glacier
#

honestly, my beef with the whole nerf is that they didn't touch sub

modest mural
#

Should we be using MH: Sophic Devotion OH: Wafting devotion? Or just Sophic on both

static glacier
modest mural
#

Tight. As for phial, tepid vers or corrupting rage? I’ve seen both recommended

hard plaza
#

oo cleave vs hybrid quite a nice increase in sim dmg

#

also fuck spiteful

modest mural
#

Spiteful is such an annoying affix

hard plaza
#

just constantly not geting back into stealth

#

and yes u can vanish, shadow dance etc, but ideally want them for dps 😄

covert folio
#

How long would you guy’s say Assas takes to learn? And how gear dependent is it

hard plaza
#

u can keep up even if not particuarly great

#

like im an average player, but do ok in dungeons, i know i can do alot better etc, but it allows for mistakes a bit more i thinkg anyway

covert folio
#

I see I see. I’m thinking of swapping for raid purposes haha

elfin talon
#

is anyone else getting that haste is simming much better than pretty much anything else?

quartz locust
#

like you can probably get your stats to a ratio where it starts recomending vers

elfin talon
#

aight thanks, its wafting writ is like much better for me atm, so i was just wondering if im simming wrong or not lol

#

how does assasination handle spitefull

you put a bleed on them and get excited when you get energy back

do you spatter on gnarl and council?

and larodar?

placid wave
#

...yes

crisp pine
#

I switch to windwalker for keys

#

and for raids

#

i dont even have a rogue

arctic socket
#

Sometimes I use splatter on bosses

#

Because I forget to change talents

dapper holly
#

can anyone tell me if archon .gg is a viable website

crisp pine
quartz locust
#

pretty sure it's just pulling from warcraft logs anyway

#

regarding the tier lists

crisp pine
#

Oh it's just subcreation with less info and a sleeker design?

#

oooh I see it's literally from the warcraftlogs guys

#

That should be very fine then?

devout karma
#

If we are using brench and ashes, which one should go with deathmark on pull ?

crisp pine
#

Hahahahaah the fucking boomies

devout karma
#

So overall branch is better trinket,ye ? Becuase based on hc logs, people do preffer ashes with accelerating

unique sorrel
#

Since you don’t have to worry about orbs

#

Branch is more dam though

devout karma
#

Thats true, but I have no problem with orbs tbh. Should I still go with ashes

subtle tundra
#

another tier list website i've never heard of? how many are there???

#

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

unique sorrel
devout karma
#

around 2.5%

#

Only thing I dont get is should we use trinket before the bane, or it snapshot ?

#

like deathmark>trink>shadowdance>kb

woeful meteor
real stirrup
#

with tindral roots how to maximise damage? during vanish or just when we shiv? sometimes hit 600k

sullen hollow
#

nice

#

assa almost bottom on simcraft

gusty mirage
#

and it'll make money

#

cause people are smort

dapper holly
#

do you guys just sim and then whatever it says goes?

#

i have no idea what is good and what is bad now for items wise

#

i tried to stack crit mastery

normal mist
#

pretty much

#

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.

dapper holly
#

but raidbots is telling me to go vers/haste

slate crown
#

Then you go vers haste, but also keep in mind that regemming for small gains is not typically worth it

#

You'll upgrade to another piece of gear eventually

#

that will shifht weights arounda

dapper holly
#

so i should have wafting devotion on something?

slate crown
#

and all your gem suggestions could change again

#

The actual stats you pick really matter less than you think

#

But also yes, wafting is fine, if sims say you should take it, use wafting

dapper holly
#

how do you sim what gems etc?

slate crown
#

It's in Top Gear, there's a whole section on gems

#

But I'm telling you to not worry about doing that

#

You can if you like, just don't worry about regemming everything if the difference is only like 100 dps

agile osprey
#

Blazefury Medallion has been the great value brand of necks this tier.

#

486 only sims .2% higher for me

KINGSBANE PARRY KINGSBANE PARRY???????

#

I wish.. more like "press everything and midway through glance at meters to see wet noodle dps, check bars and see I pressed everything except KB"

tardy wind
#

relatable

#

why isnt my caustic pumping

flint marsh
#

mutilate on cd

tardy wind
#

anyway, are these sims weird or normal? first one is patchwerk sim, second one is dungeon slice, both have hybrid build equipped

stiff edge
#

is branch or ashes of the embersoul the better on-use trinket in m+?

tardy wind
#

it says cleave deals massively more single target than other builds, and only a bit less in multi than other builds

fast fog
#

What are some raid encounters I'm better off using Ashes on over Branch if I wanna shut off brain and not play minigame? Fyrakk?

royal lantern
#

tindral/fyrakk

fast fog
#

I don't have very many issues collecting orbies Fyrakk just feels jank

#

Groovy

limber lion
#

But it assumes you use cds on cooldown and get close to full value out of your Kingsbane's

#

So might not be a realistic thing if you're doing lower keys where packs die in less than 20s

tardy wind
#

so what's the general recommendation, im still a learning rogue

#

shock for big aoe, cleave for cleave, hybrid for single?

#

to oversimplify

balmy condor
#

They all kinda do similar overall

#

And play nearly the same

#

Play whichever speaks to you on an emotional level

man I got a 489 mh axe this week out of vault so I tried outlaw yesterday and its hectic. Having to add two extra separate binds for on-use trinkets felt like a huge qol downgrade from sin

Why isn’t crab good?

I've been thinking about replacing my 489 branch with 486 crab cause the orbs are making my life so miserable

#

oh, I was wondering why I felt weaker in raid last night, the nerfs went through

#

So its both All ability dmg reduced by 3%, as WELL as the autoattack dmg reduction too?

neat plank
#

but didnt you get any upgrades from vault to offset the nerfs? 🙂

balmy condor
#

I can’t feel that

subtle tundra

the placebo is CRAZY

#

what the fuck

arctic hare
#

Lmao, tbf, I was raid leading last night, so

subtle tundra

i've gained more dps from upgrades than i lost

I will work on it

Accelerate opener and pray

#

I mean I often just apply rupture on 1 mob and then spam mut/fan + envenom. all the explosions do pretty good cleave dmg

neat plank
#

and also, if trash is dying "too fast", I don't even care if I look bad on meters, my goal is to time the key

#

thats a good problem to have

carmine shore
#

yeah cleave build just can't overall like last week

#

but we should be crushing bosses

waxen oyster
#

good thing we play a class

#

with more than 1 dps spec

#

🤔

This do be true

sub is weird and outlaw is too many gunshot noises and annoying AR uptime minigame 😛

sub shouldnt even be a spec, it was like a utility talent tree, it feels weird to be its own spec, kind of like balance druid, what even is that

both leech and cheat are kind of just there

I'm really gonna need to do some research on the trash and bosses so I can know what cloak will help with

balmy condor
#

there's not really a resource for that

it's just play the game

and you learn

if it looks big and important, chances are high that cloak works

#

if not

if feint not

You're telling me the abilities of enemies are not documented, including what damage types and effect profiles?

past forum
#

thats why the good lord made cheat

balmy condor

I mean they are

storm monolith
#

Why not

balmy condor
#

but they aren't documented to what works defensively

#

wdym why not

#

cause that's a fuck ton of work

Sounds like a job for me, if nobody wants to do it

balmy condor

I'm autistic enough to find that enjoyable

we had a team of 4 and it took us over 2 months to document everything just in that patch

Does some one have some council tipps?

balmy condor
#

hope you enjoy reading log events

waxen oyster
#

except archmage sol

#

her stuff goes through cloak because lmao

storm monolith
#

I mean it should be just trial and error. "I've got an effect on me, will this defensive remove it/reduce the damage?"

#

Will it prevent the mechanic from working entirely? (Thank you shadowmeld)

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

trial and error

waxen oyster
#

i mean cloak kind of removes most debuffs that arent bleeds

balmy condor
#

for probably upwards of 400 abilities

#

and feint, evasion, cloak, vanish

#

so like 1500+ data entries

storm monolith
#

Yeah that doesn't sound too bad

balmy condor
#

aight

waxen oyster
#

vanish is basically a dps cd

balmy condor
#

I'm glad you don't think it's bad

waxen oyster

feint is a button you see something hit the whole area

and test if it works

When I collect this data, who do I present it to foe entry into the wiki?

you're making a spreadsheet

idk you see something that looks dangerous

assa rogue is one of the more obtuse specs when it comes to defensives. targeted but aoe isn't uncommon. what can be cloaked is very trial and error. no simple "turn brain off slam DR" here.

you cloak

but it's not really a wiki

and have a dr for all

For the record, I'd only be doing this for ass rogue. I wouldn't have the time as an individual to do it for every class, as new abilities would come out before I finish

you say that as if the diff specs have diff defensives

I'm just waiting for them to realize that cloak is a 2 min cooldown so they're spending at least 10 hours just waiting on cloak cooldown, not counting needing to actually get all of the abilities to target them when cloak is available, and getting into the groups needed to even encounter the ability in question

Hey folks, on M Nymue (assuming I have full combo points) during the add phase, should I open with envenom on the tree and go straight into shiv/dance/kb etc etc. or is it better to just rupture garrote, and THEN start dancing?

I’ve seen it done different ways on logs, so the impression I get is that it just doesn’t matter much?

balmy condor

document the ability

the defensive

the log with the timestamp showing it worked

it's an impossible task for 1 person

That statement could involve a lot of different topics, and could also NOT involve a lot of information I would find relevant to the discussion. Yes, it indicates a substantial amount of time spent gathering data, but what kind of data was not shared.

the exact data you're talking about

#

that's the topic of conversation

that's what we're talking about

I get angry over having to repeat myself what makes you think I'm going to give useless input

I told you precisely what we did

in the order we did it

the time it took

the abilities you would need to test

#

and how to test them

#

if you don't read what I say, that's fine

but don't claim that I'm not giving you any indication

  1. create sheet, each page of the sheet is dedicated to a dungeon, or raid encounter in that current patch
  2. each row is an ability, mark them all down
  3. each column is the defensive in question
  4. start up your game, warcraftlogs, then /combatlog
  5. whenever you encounter a mechanic, use one of the defensives
  6. repeat 5 until your eyes bleed
  7. afterwards, /combatlog to stop logging, open the freshly minted log
  8. locate ability cast
  9. see how much damage it did and how much was mitigated by going through damage taken -> events
  10. if the mitigation was higher than the baseline when you got hit, or the mitigation is abnormally high in the case of feint, double check to make sure that you don't have a vers proc or other buff at the time
  11. copy the timestamped log
  12. add note of that mechanic+defensive combo in the sheet attached hyperlinked to the log showing it works
  13. repeat 8->12 until the sheet is full
#

go do that

#

this process

#

should take you years

balmy condor
#

in which time you can reflect on how much time you've wasted

storm monolith
#

You have to understand that "everything" is commonly misused in common discussion. "Here's everything you need to know about patch 10.2" almost certainly does not include everything about the patch in a detailed format. These types of statements typically go over large changes and additions to the game (GRANTED we were talking about details so I was willing to believe that you had went through most of the details such as enemy damage % increases/decreases per key level, dot durations, etc.) instead of the nitty gritty number crunching a phrase like that SHOULD entail. Now, I don't know your history with meaning what you say in the literal sense when it comes to data collection, but if you are implying that you would not say something like that unless it was with utmost scrutiny and totality, then I apologize for doubting you earlier.

balmy condor
#

but by the time you've reflected on it

#

time will have passed

#

at that point

#

you get to reflect again

balmy condor
# storm monolith You have to understand that "everything" is commonly misused in common discussio...

yeah so now you're talking about the big mechanics instead of all the mechanics. And the big mechanics are very easily understood to work or not except in extremely niche situations, simply by playing the game. That's a different situation entirely to the one we were talking about and those aren't jotted anywhere. There are raid tips like https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/amirdrassil-raid-tips, which covers some of the major points for completely unknowing eyes that are getting to the boss for the first time, like feint on barrelling charge for council, cloak freeing from roots on tindral, etc.

but as I'm writing this you responded to the list and said that's what you want to do, so now we're back into the delusions of being able to crank out years of Sisyphus work so idk what you want anymore

#

at this point I've warned enough about not going down a path of wasted time and effort in an attempt to help you

#

but I ultimately can't stop you

#

do whatever makes you happy

I mean if it's simply a matter of too much time used for research to make the information usable, I'd imagine that the most straightforward solution would be to get multiple people, as you tried before.

limber lion
#

Not only multiple people, but encouraging the entire community to submit their findings

storm monolith
#

I think it would work now that we aren't on the shadowlands slums

balmy condor

we had a form submission

everyone could submit

it wasn't enough

was a command in here, pinned in multiple channels

maybe if it did damage like spell reflect people would be more engaged in it

i haven't met a warrior main yet who doesn't get fully bricked whenever they encounter a new instance of magic damage

and then undocumented changes hit

for reasons

#

and now it doesn't anymore

storm monolith
#

It's optimism. From what I've heard from a huge number of people, drsgonflight is leagues above shadowlands in quality, and purportedly quantity. Iirc there's a lot more active players now than in last xpac. Another issue is demographic and networking. Limiting the requests (from what I've heard in here all I know is that you were trying to get people in the discord to submit findings, though I could have missed where you put it in community forums, reddit, etx.) to just discord probably didn't help too much. I will admit, because not everyone does keys and raid, we also work with a smaller pool of people than the actual whole playerbase.

balmy condor
#

and you think your networking is more capable than mine

#

that's the implication isn't it

#

I'm not offended about it

#

I'm actually more astounded

almost envious in fact

to think that would work

storm monolith
#

No, I think that if that is what happened, you could try again and be more open ended and outreach ingredients with the attempt. Don't get me wrong, I respect your efforts, I just think if you only did it in discord it could be considered a simple oversight. I don't care how it's done or who does it, whether it be me or someone more accomplished like you. I merely seek the end result.
