HOW DO U KNOW ME

storm forum
#

M+ers are usually mostly good in my experience, just unreliable.

nova flax
#

my ravenholdt shitposting isnt as effective if the green names know who i am DEAD

spice spire
#

You were on mg s1 maybe 2 in shadowlands.
And like 5 people played sin

#

So I remembered the name

shy pecan
#

I recognize the chungess when I see the name

spice spire
#

Discerning people isn’t that hard

#

Like 99% of players are easy to find

storm forum
#

What's my server, guild name and io?

nova flax
shy pecan
#

Same

nova flax
#

The biggest problem they face is never checking or listening to assignments

#

And just doing whatever they feel like

spice spire

#

Thanks, always forget how to spell that

Now what's my star sign and penis size?

shy pecan

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

I knew that

forest nacelle
#

i couldn't find video sorry

spice spire
#

I also am like 90ish% sure you’re on hyjal

forest nacelle

but i found it now 😄

spice spire
#

Good stuff enjoy!

spice spire
#

You joined a friend of mine’s guild (I’m guessing as a trial look and didn’t like) and I was like hey I know that guy. But rarely spoke in there sadly

shy pecan
#

Which guild?

spice spire
#

Chaos muppets

shy pecan
#

Oh

spice spire
#

Museless is an absolute king and I’d die for that man.

shy pecan
#

I was in there to run a couple of keys

spice spire
#

Ahh

#

Also lot of inphamous on hyjal

shy pecan
spice spire
#

2+2 sometimes = 4

#

But I could also be off but guess is you’re not playing rn and ur shitposting like I am in appropriate channels. (Like here)

shy pecan
#

lol

#

@ember mural can attest for me that I’m playing

#

Oh I’m a ducking idiot

That’s too long

thorn fjord

Thats what she said

shy pecan
#

Also woulda been better this week so I could chain spiteful on top of you

thorn fjord

This week sucks for pugs

Anyone else wanna kms because of ass rogue?

shy pecan

I think i drink whiskey tonight and launch CS2

Next week

spice spire

So they kept your PC hostage or what

I think I know the story tho

all good

spice spire

spice gull
#

The spec just feels so..... BAD to me

thorn fjord
#

Also those ticket prices you put up last week werent a joke... They had a grand total of like 250 people attending the game LOL

thorn fjord
#

You're placebo'ing hard

spice gull
#

tbf I'm actual ass and should kms anyway but

thorn fjord
#

It aint that serious

spice gull
#

tanks chain pulling in dungeons so u cannot restealth and get garrote's/ruptures

prisma monolithBOT
#

Long In-depth explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
https://youtu.be/DoZDPFk_Zog
The TLDW (I understand, it's LONG):

  • Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
  • This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths
  • You still have vanish and in 10.2, shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
  • This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
runic hinge
#

Use vanish for restealth only and not for kb crit

thorn fjord
#

Its more of a dps loss for OL not being able to stealth between pulls @spice gull

#

Keep your chin up

runic hinge
#

Also race change to nelf(bis anyways) and just meld

#

It’s bis because it does flips

spice spire
thorn fjord
#

and has boobs

runic hinge
#

Which is my only metric for deciding race

spice spire
#

Night elf propaganda in my holy sin chat

runic hinge
#

You can take a propa gander at DN

crisp pine
#

Vulpera does flips

spice gull
#

I just dont understand fundamentally how it works I suppose

runic hinge
crisp pine
spice gull
#

I do less damage than a disc priest when i'm at 440 ilvl with 4 set, like brother man

runic hinge
#

You gotta get that gear up and do bigger keys

#

Trust

#

Things live longer your dots tick more and you do more damage

crisp pine
#

I mean

spice spire
crisp pine
#

With 4set you do a lot of damage without your dots

spice spire
#

Spread bleed pop envenom

#

Chuckle

crisp pine
#

There seems to be a problem here, not just the keys being too low

#

Even without restealth and just doing one garrote one rupture into kb shenanigans should outdamage a disc priest

#

if he's not like 480

crisp pine
spice gull
#

Then fan till CT

#

and then attempt to KB a big target

#

Most of the problem comes from incoporeal for me

arctic hare
#

Blind is great 😂

spice gull
#

Can't really stop it, sure with blind if I have it or kidney if I wanna step to it

crisp pine
#

Ait first
Which keys are you running?
And second
Are you mutilating the big target first?

spice gull
#

This is an example, overall in a 12 rise with aug

#

pretty garbage

#

Yea I mutilate the target to activate spatter

crisp pine
#

can you send a screen of the cool damage breakdown?

spice gull
runic hinge
#

Looks fine. Probably just gear

arctic hare
#

Why is CT so low though, usually its higher for me

spice gull
#

Or tanks will do wack ass pulls

runic hinge
#

Everything dies too quick in a 12

crisp pine
#

Looks fairly alright except CT being fairly low, even for a 12

spice gull
#

Yea I doubt I was using CT as much as I should have

limber lion
spice gull
#

is it always the thing you build to and spend after applying ruptures/garrotes

arctic hare
#

It is a pretty major part of your aoe

arctic hare
spice gull
#

Right

limber lion
#

should probs want to apply ct earlier

#

Your Envenom is way too high

arctic hare
#

Indeed, hey cev, is it just me or is his rupture dmg unnaturally low?

limber lion
#

His Rupture? Looks fine

#

Exactly the same as mine, 8.4%

arctic hare
#

Hmm, alright

weak cypress
#

!WA

spice gull
limber lion
#

However KB, CT and Spatter should be higher

runic hinge
#

It’s a 12 tho on tyrannical week. Envenom is gonna be decently high and trash is gonna die before you get value

limber lion
#

Sang Blades should be higher as well

runic hinge
#

Playing with a dh

limber lion
runic hinge
#

How? Trash gets deleted by the dh

limber lion
#

Because the faster mobs die, the higher your Improved Garrote uptime is

#

Also Sudden Demise could be higher as well

#

Literally just do Gar Gar Gar CT

#

And then mobs die

#

and you're sitting at 500k overall

limber lion
#

The faster the DH kills them, the more value SD gains

arctic hare
#

SD stonks ftw!

crisp pine
#

I'm kinda confused about what's going wrong if you're engaging every pull by putting bleeds up on the mobs tho @spice gull

limber lion
#

There's no time to Kingsbane/Envenom/Spatter spam in those low tyrannical keys

#

just bleeds up asap and then sd explodes them

crisp pine
#

Maybe chalk it down to throne being a shit dungeon

runic hinge
#

It’s a rise, his name is throne

crisp pine
#

oh

#

well rise is also shit

#

I'm tired

runic hinge
#

I agree and if your tank is pulling like a baby when you also have bad gear your damage isn’t gonna look good

spice gull
#

yea I guess I just need to apply bleeds more and focus on kb less and stuff for now

limber lion
#

It's good to focus on KB and spatter once you're doing keys where the mobs will live the entire KB duration

#

all of them

#

otherwise it's just pointless

#

just use dance and vanish for reapplying garrotes/ruptures

#

maintain ct

#

and you're chilling

dark token
#

Even doing a 25 most packs don't live long enough for full duration dm kb

#

Kinda annoying

#

At least on tyrannical weeks

swift magnet
#

was the last assa nerf overkill?

spice spire
#

We’re only sixth, ohno

limber lion
limber lion
icy acorn
spice spire
#

Not #1 PI

limber lion
#

Yes in terms of value we are 3rd

#

But Assassination is the most PI'd target

#

It's worse than BM or UDK

swift magnet
#

yes but:
dont benefit as much from PI > dont get PI > do less dps > dont benefit as much from PI etc

limber lion
#

Yes exactly

#

but that's not the case yet

#

it's getting there

#

but it's not there yet

swift magnet
#

assa is way under 6th place without PI

spice spire
#

As for Aug, that isn’t reflected in the logs so mut

icy acorn
#

it would be nice to not having to rely on pi though

spice spire
#

Us before

#

Utopia and then Realz did too good of a job making our class good ReallyMad

icy acorn
#

blizzard saw that and decided to buff mages

#

cant have a season without mage being on top at some point

spice spire
#

Mages my number one opponent

limber lion
#

So yeah

#

It should be #25th

#

But you do have to consider the raid design as well

#

Assa's burst is still favorable in many of the bosses

#

And Spatter still pads hard

icy acorn
#

true but the last three are sub dominated

limber lion
#

They are now

#

Starting this week

icy acorn
#

yea

#

pretty equal the week before

#

minus smolderon

spice spire
#

Pretty sure sin is still fine for tindy and fyrakk.
Smolderon not so much 💀

distant helm
#

i was about to say the last 2 arent realy sub dominated

icy acorn
#

but you have to keep in mind

swift magnet
icy acorn
#

sub doesnt need the pi to do just as much dmg

#

so you can give the pi to someone else

distant helm
#

ye but a lot of guilds simply play assa

#

for p3 dmg

swift magnet
tough gorge
#

Definitely feels like the worst week for sin rogues in mythic+. Shit affix for stealth, nerfed while others are buffed so our dmg isnt rlly that impressive in keys anymore.

icy acorn
spice spire
#

If you need other shit

#

Yeah

#

You’re not going sin

spice spire
limber lion
#

Wasn't really the king of boss damage

icy acorn
limber lion
#

and even less now

icy acorn
#

should be priest only imo

limber lion
#

Assa legit sims 20k less than Sub

spice spire
#

I mean you can.
But then it’s even less now.

Shruge

icy acorn
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
spice spire
#

Sub also has the weird timing bits

#

Which as we learned today

swift magnet
icy acorn
#

20k

spice spire
#

They aren’t the only ones ICANT

icy acorn
limber lion
#

Yes

icy acorn
#

with pi its more like 8k

limber lion
#

I mean Sub still sims like 8k more even if you gave PI to Assa

#

But that's 1. wasting a rogue spec

#
  1. wasting a PI
spice spire
limber lion
#

legit throwing 35k dps down the drain

#

Just play Sub and give the PI to BM

icy acorn
#

i mean playing assa wont be troll in a normal raid guild
but sub is just so much better

#

right now

#

dmg wise that is

swift magnet
icy acorn
#

im also thinking about hard swapping to sub now.
progging on smolderon makes me start liking that shit

bright turret
#

i wonder if devs forgot PI exists when they decided to nerf sin twice and leave sub alone

spice spire
#

I mean on smolderon you have to be an idiot (me) or an idiot (shmeeps) to stay sin

swift magnet
#

sub in raid can be so tiring in the end, it's like so scripted to the gcd when you optimize it to the encounter, assa was a breath of fresh air, I did not play assa since Nighthold

keen spruce
#

We have 3 priests so I’m still getting a pi

balmy condor
#

guys is this spec dead?

icy acorn
#

dedge

bright turret
#

nah

icy acorn
#

unplayable

balmy condor
#

people keep telling me its dead

icy acorn
#

worst spec 10/10

bright turret
#

tindral and fyrakk aren't tight enough that doing a few less % boss damage on sin loses the fight

icy acorn
#

assa is still a top spec but people got used to being number 1 xd

ember mural
#

3% nerf feels terrible (/s)

spice spire
swift magnet
bright turret
#

yea sin is still better than a lot of specs, it's just criminal sub didn't get any taps

keen spruce
true rapids
#

dw sub will get tapped then outlaw will be best for the rest of the tier

spice spire
#

There’s kind of a nuance to this conversation though.
In 10.0 we started up top. Got nerfed to the ground (with everyone else) then everything but us got buffed

#

Which kinda domed us

swift magnet
spice spire
#

I don’t think that’s happening this time

#

But I do think

bright turret
#

nah, the raid damage profiles are still very good for sin

balmy condor
spice spire
#

That people worry about the same shit

bright turret
#

this tier really shows how you can't believe everything about sims

ember mural
#

real

swift magnet
runic hinge
bright turret
#

hopefully fated continues the trend of the raids being pushovers so you don't need to play min/max spec

keen spruce
#

I played Assas after the bonk in season 1. I played Assas in s2. Now I’m still getting a PI so why the hell would I stop playing Assas now

spice spire
#

Oh I should stop memeing

#

Like

balmy condor
#

also no one decided to call me out for the bad math cause 223.5k before -> 215k after is 4% you fucking bozos

spice spire
#

Sin is fine

balmy condor
spice spire
quiet oar
#

So the 3% nerf was 4%???

balmy condor
#

people crying about an actual 6k dps nerf because they lost their already difficult to justify PI to a hunter and are now down another 10k compared to when they had it

icy acorn
keen spruce
#

4% PANIC

balmy condor
#

next they're gonna lose windfury

#

and complain that blizzard is so heavy handed

swift magnet
limber lion
icy acorn
limber lion
#

...

#

that's not the conversation here

bright turret
#

I don't think it's unreasonable for people to feel frustrated over getting nerfed because of PI distorting stats

limber lion
#

we're talking about current

bright turret
#

spec still good though

quiet oar
#

Thanks guys, with my calculations the nerf was exactly 42,68%

#

Well

@swift magnet explain why JFK slumped backwards if he got shot from behind

this is incredible

#

lets get him a trip to Cabo

bright turret
#

Ah yes, if we completely ignore the buggy and unbalanced release of aug, everything was actually fine

keen spruce
#

To save the grinding teeth

swift magnet
bright turret
#

Aug really is a root cause of many issues

balmy condor
#

how crazy

icy acorn
bright turret
#

Just one of the many reasons aug was a mistake

balmy condor
#

aug is fine it just needed more time to cook all the hooks around it, support specs are a nightmare without the infrastructure to support it

true rapids
#

aug has been nerfed overall what 30-35% since inception and it's still a problem in m+, less in raid

thorn fjord
#

I might have been a mistake

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

it's slightly less than 3%

#

that's too heavy handed?

bright turret
#

Yea I'd probably be less mad about Aug if it worked properly out the gate

thorn fjord
#

yo how long is it going to take people to realize 3% aint shit

#

less value than a really good trinket lol

true rapids
#

I dont think 3% is the problem is, its 3% on top of other nerfs since raid came out

cobalt gyro
#

wdym the class is literally dead

bright turret
#

it's just people being dramatic about sin possibly being slightly behind sub on boss damage

#

when none of the fights are that tight on damage anymore

true rapids
#

ass is still fine its not like bottom tier dps but constant nerfs when we are situationally good feels bad

quiet oar
dark token
#

3% is big when balance between top and bottom is measured in about a 10% diff

I wish they would buff not nerf so heavily, DH players feeling it too

dark token

I mean I think the nerf was unnecessary

quiet oar
#

Big copium

true rapids

but from a psychological standpoint seeing your class nerfed and nerfed and nerfed makes you feel somewhere along the line the devs didn't really think something through

very kind of you sir, but we're eu frogs here

and you know if sin slips to mid pack after BM starts taking all the PIs that 3% aint coming back

The dmg in mythic+ is alot closer when you get -3% , which I agree isnt that much, but then a bunch of other specs got buffed a couple % as well. For me its just compounded by hating spiteful so im more pissed than usual.

swift magnet
dark token
#

Heroic logs are always pretty sin biased

balmy condor
#

and?

ember mural

#

and they dropped behind a spec no one plays

balmy condor

you think they tune specs for mythic?

swift magnet
twin bay
thorn fjord
cobalt gyro
#

wat

keen spruce
#

Remember it used to be “we have literally no cleave or aoe built into our single target build so we should be the number 1 ST spec”

But now we have extremely good passive cleave and even dencent access to aoe in a mostly st build… AND we’re doing some of the best st. Then we got nerfed by a WHOPPING 3% and the sky is falling.

But by the old logic we should really be more like middle/lower pack because we have such good cleave now

dark token
#

Old logic is sound

balmy condor
dark token

Middle pack, slightly on upper end

It's a fine spot to be in tbh

and here's 95th %tile

so decent players

#

but yeah that 3% killed the spec

balmy condor

and blizzard doesn't even tune anywhere near to that

95% mythic is so far above the tuning metric

it's actually silly

if something is over performing in mythic it's probably over performing in heroic anyway

royal lantern

cobalt gyro
#

ya

dark token
#

Unless it's highly specific to a mythic fight mechanic

balmy condor
#

it's legit the most basic of lessons when making a game.

Do not balance around your best players.

cobalt gyro
#

and the reverse is true

swift magnet
balmy condor
#

that's how every game works

royal lantern
#

how else should they do it lol

woeful meteor
twin bay
#

out of touch much?

#

ofc its ok to look at the vast majority of players what?

royal lantern
cobalt gyro
#

they should nerf Demo lock

balmy condor
#

legit every competitive game, since the dawn of time, has balanced around the median/average player

royal lantern
#

legit killed my drive to raid

cobalt gyro
#

the rank 1 parses have 2 pis

balmy condor
#

that's how game design works

cobalt gyro
runic hinge
#

They balance around me in my heroic guild absolutely slaying everyone on the meters. I’m sorry guys

woeful meteor
#

he does have a goat char name tho now

cobalt gyro
#

the only time you balance specifically around your best players

swift magnet
cobalt gyro
#

????????

limber lion
#

They nerf/buff the classes based on Heroic. They nerf/buff the encounters mainly based on Mythic.

bright turret
#

the skill gap in this game is so large that you couldn't even consider heroic average/median

balmy condor
#

what

cobalt gyro
#

im sure blizzard watched RWF and saw rogues topping meteres every boss and said

woeful meteor
#

our second rogue doesnt rly want to play anymore so my spot seems saved unless we implode over cata classic

cobalt gyro
#

yep

#

3%

#

if that were true

swift magnet
cobalt gyro
#

3% would be a joke

#

lol

bright turret
#

the average player likely hasn't even killed heroic fyrakk

dark token
#

Selling coaching I perform over 100% on wcl

cobalt gyro
#

the average player can't even get into a pug to kill heroic fyrakk

#

I can't on my 480 dk

royal lantern
#

lol

#

like

limber lion
royal lantern
#

except LFR

runic hinge
#

Aotc is super above average

balmy condor
#

there's a range up and down

devout prism
#

the average player is parsing in classic wow

swift magnet
#

or some more sin nerfs maybe then?

bright turret
#

ok, so then if they're going to tune around the "average" player, you'd do normal

balmy condor
#

aight I give up

cobalt gyro
#

i thought we already decided 2 weeks was too long?

twin bay
#

confidently incorrect kekw

runic hinge
#

They have to tune around the average raider not the average player

balmy condor
#

there's just

cobalt gyro
#

consider i posted it and people said 2 weeks is too long when the nerfs were tuesday

balmy condor
#

nothing to do be done sometimes

#

you see someone

#

and realize

#

I cannot reach them

bright turret
#

Nothing wrong with stating they tune around heroic, but the reality is that doesn't really represent the average wow player

balmy condor
#

it doesn't

#

but it does represent the average skill

#

of someone who raids

twin bay
#

this logic wont stop me because i cant read

bright turret
#

Now if you're tuning around guys that are like 7.5/10 rather than 10/10 yea that makes sense

balmy condor
#

normal is too low and casual that they aren't worth tuning around

limber lion
#

Tuning doesn't matter for people who never do content where it matters

balmy condor
#

mythic is too optimized to tune around

cobalt gyro
#

i mean you shouldnt be balancing around the 10/10 players

#

unless they break something specifically that only breaks if its all 10/10 players

bright turret
#

only concern about tuning around heroic is how short many of the fights are

cobalt gyro
#

kalista in league is a good example of this where she's super super mid in solo q but when you have a good team around her she's oppressive

#

so she gets to stay shit

#

aug falls into this category btw

limber lion
#

Poggies I'm a big boy now :3 hi mom!!

dark token
#

League tunes a lot more around pro play than wow does

#

A LOT

royal lantern
dark token
#

Due to them actually having esports

icy acorn
cobalt gyro
#

I mean my point was specifically kalista but zeri falls into it too, once you have a full team of 10/10s theyre just too broken to leave as is

#

which isnt really the case in wow with anything except aug

#

but they're determined to make aug work

#

\o/

limber lion
#

I think he's refering to the designer of Zeri literally stating that they can never buff Zeri again because her kit is beyond broken for pro play

dark token
#

We need to just rewind time until aug does not exist in 11.0

cobalt gyro
#

i mean they should have seen that coming because the mobility thing is the exact reason kalista was made to be shit

#

200 yrs

icy acorn
#

i mean aug could work but the thing is. if he is doing the same (or more) dmg as dev evoker, aug will always be picked because of all the utility this spec gives

cobalt gyro
#

no

#

aug could not work

#

soon as you bring external buffs into the equation theyre either broken or literally worthless

#

and if theyre worthless, why are they there

bright turret
#

I feel like the real issue is that they buff healers and tanks, on top of being as valuable as a full DPS

swift magnet
cobalt gyro
#

they are actually

limber lion
#

buff affliction

cobalt gyro
#

one of their hero specs gives buff type effects to the other specs

bright turret
#

Aug is already them doubling down on PI

keen spruce
swift magnet
royal lantern
# cobalt gyro but they're determined to make aug work

"we make it work, we put work in it to make it not frustrating!"

1 tier over, log hooks all where broken and took ages to fix them, many still broken and general log shitery happening with it

other 2 specs needed giga buffs to be even worth a thought anymore

litearlly 2 are a hard requirment for mythic rn

#

thats like "we wont do m+ dungeons older then pandaria"

#

and 5 months later do cata dungeons anyway

cobalt gyro
#

and

#

before they nerfed them

#

you were gonna take 4

#

though i think the aug players still prefer u take 4 because it makes it significantly easier lol

storm monolith
#

we did it boys

#

sin is considered s tier now, above its brother outlaw in a tier

#

according to some dude's arbitrary dps ranking

cobalt gyro
#

aw man just when i got a sword

royal lantern
#

dont worry, according to another dudes arbitary ranking outlaw is actually SS tier

cobalt gyro
#

aw man just when i deleted my sword

icy acorn
#

dont worry, according to my arbitary ranking, outlaw is actually F tier because its not a real rogue spec

balmy condor

people are allowed to make up statistics that say assassination sucks now after 3% nerf

#

and you go fact checking my alphabet?

#

double standard much

earnest remnant
#

but they are right tho whispyr

#

its dead

#

All because they didn't trust in the "ASHES" tech

balmy condor
#

I unironically hope all of the slur using demon hunters that chase flavor of the month end up in your dms

earnest remnant
#

if everybody just ran ashes

bright turret
#

Is the ashes tech you are referencing something new or just using it 3 seconds after KB

earnest remnant
#

we wouldve done less dmg

#

and we wouldve been less of an outlier

runic hinge
#

That’s too smart

icy acorn
#

you must have been a mage player stealthi?

earnest remnant
#

ive only played rogue

balmy condor
bright turret
#

Ahh

earnest remnant
#

BUT

#

it is BIS for sub

#

so checkmate

bright turret
#

I used branch for 5 pulls on tindral and immediately switched to heroic ashes I had laying around

earnest remnant
#

my Ashes propaganda won

balmy condor
#

jpc slipped up cause he got annoyed on stream and told people he's not using branch stop asking

#

and the actual torrent

#

of frogs

#

that showed up

#

asking why he's not using branch

#

was fucking insane

earnest remnant
#

ive had so many people ask me, why i never played Branch

carmine shore
#

!dagger

earnest remnant
#

its the small enjoyments in life uknow

icy acorn
#

actual question: when deciding on using ashes for simplicity, your gear would need more mastery right?

balmy condor
#

yes

earnest remnant
#

im just gonna start responding with "JPC said it was bad"

dark token
#

I play branch in sin m+ basically and that's it now

earnest remnant
balmy condor
#

kush

#

by far

bright turret
#

I feel like people asking why not use branch haven't tried using it on the last 3 M bosses

native jay
#

so i have a general question: what are some good ways of dealing with spiteful since stealthing is so difficult this week?

balmy condor
#

like not even a fair comparison I hate it way more

earnest remnant
#

i played branch on 2 bosses this tier

icy acorn
earnest remnant
#

Nymue and smolderon

icy acorn
#

tindral is ass because of root timings

balmy condor
#

its a little weird on pull for tindral

#

the other timings seem fine on paper

icy acorn
#

wait let me rephrase that

#

tindral is ass

earnest remnant
#

its fine on pull for sub, since we dont take 10sec to press our cds

balmy condor
swift magnet
#

I kind of remember the accelerated opener JPC used during rwf, was gar rupt mut env shiv dm kb
might even not have env before dm/kb

balmy condor
#

correct

#

well, not shiv dm kb

#

but he did use accelerated openers

native jay
# balmy condor you just kinda do the same thing you would've done idk

Lol that's kind of what i figured. My tanks are asking if there's anything they can do outside of just stopping pull to make sure i can stealth. I basically told them to let me worry about it and don't change how they're playing, because i don't want to to focus on just my needs which is ridiculous to expect but did ask that i at least be able to be clear to stealth before bosses. Is that basically the whole of what can be done?

balmy condor
#

they shouldn't really be doing anything for you at all

#

chain pulls and keeping the group in combat is way more important

swift magnet
#

yeah dm shiv ofc I swapped the 2

native jay
#

thank you!

balmy condor

just gotta be more aware of important pulls that need iron wire

workable as in ur dmg just doesnt completely fall flat if you swap

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.

woeful meteor

for m+ skipping envom will be the play since you need to get up spatter

not sure if there is math on which of the 2 is correct in raw st but it's minor anyway

Just swap and play

balmy condor

But it’s not really anything set in stone

glacial hound
#

adn yea I just put it there for the more correct place lol, because I am blind and didnt mean to ask inthe wrong spot

balmy condor
#

In single target prep before your cooldowns, dropping rupture is the best, followed by envenom, followed by slice and dice being awful to drop, in aoe you need caustic up so envenom is better to drop than rupture for those situations

#

But you can drop both and get it up later

#

It’s all relative to what you need

Greetings guys. I have a question, I play a 480 ilvl assa rogue, and Im feeling uncomfortable by now having 60% mastery. I'm currently at 33% crit, 54% mastery, 18% haste and 12% versa. What can I drop to gain mastery, I keep siming, and raibots keeps putting versa and haste items above mastery ones

lucid rain
#

are you using branch?

wild birch
#

Currently my sim put all stats as equal with these stats

#

With branch and sandglass

pine valve
lucid rain
#

yeah try simming with ashes

wild birch
#

You have prob way too much mastery for branch

pine valve
#

Seems weird, because I see alot of rogues above 60% mastery unbuffed

#

And for me to reach that, means I would have to drop, haste or versa and Sims, don't let me drop those, always bring that pieces as top choice

wild birch
#

Are they using branch or ashes?

pine valve
#

The ones in murlok.io using ashes are above 60% the ones with branch are actually below

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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
