And they tuned the amp to make it less

static glacier
#

Is it better to ct 5/7 targets a finisher early or ct 7/7 2 globals later

#

I thought we ct once we can hit stuff

#

Might be wrong

limber lion
#

Again

#

If you have 4+ targets that you can hit

#

it's always better to CT early

dark token
#

Even in single target, let's say you have a boss and then 3 trash adds you legit don't care about, I think it's worth to CT

#

Because dmg amp makes it higher than rupture on a single target

limber lion
#

You might not want to reapply the CT once the 2 targets join the battle a few seconds later

#

and just reapply CT whenever it's in pandemic as you normally would

#

but if you have 4+ targets, it's worth it

dark token
#

I use that rule for new adds too

#

4+ new add? Apply it early again

#

2 adds run in? Wait for pandemic

fleet pagoda
#

240ish I guess

left sundial
#

minimum energy for tea usage?

limber lion
#

as high as possible without messing up your Envenom chains or pandemic bleeds

left sundial
#

im waiting 100

limber lion
#

you always want to get 100 energy from tea

#

except the first tea that you use together with KB

#

Just use tea whenever KB has less than 6s remaining and you're chilling

#

you should be spamming buttons during KB windows anyways so that'll be as low as your energy will go

#

And the 2 charges that you have outside of KB just use for energy

left sundial
#

No ceverion i mean outside burst

#

envenom chains

limber lion
#

Yes

left sundial
#

save 1 tea for burst

limber lion
#

Yes

left sundial
#

otherwise if chain brokes use at 100 energy

limber lion
#

No

static glacier
#

@limber lion ngl guide kinda places it low

left sundial
#

Without tea pool until 240ish

static glacier
#

Compared to its real value

limber lion
#

I jsut sent you like 5 sims that show you that CT is better than Rupture

#

And the guide might be slightly outdated

static glacier
#

Yes, and we’ve been informed by this

limber lion
#

and the guide writer himself has said that it's possible that CT earlier is better than Ruptures

static glacier
#

I agree with you

#

The guide underrepresents CT’s value

limber lion
#

It does

limber lion
#

We've known this for a while

#

and I did these sims today

static glacier
#

Question would be what changed since initial sims for the guide

limber lion
#

I can assure you that the guide will be updated soon once we're done with the sims

limber lion
#

so that's less value on Spatter

static glacier
#

Thing is ct would generally be replacing a rupture cast, either the second or third

limber lion
#

That is true

#

By using CT as the first finisher, it delays the entire Spatter chain that happens after

#

but it's showing up as a gain to do so

#

idk what to tell you other than the 5 sims I've sent

#

If you have ideas for what fight lengths/target counts or whatever you want the sims for, let me know and I'll try to sim em

dark token
#

If packs don't live long enough you skip snd, skip one rupture, or skip the envenom before dm probably

#

Maybe multiple of those

limber lion
#

But so far I've tested everything from 4targets 20s to 8 targets 5 minutes

#

and CT first is always a gain

dark token
#

I'm curious at 20s it's probably skip envenom, skip snd, one rupture only for caustic, and dm right after

limber lion
#

Well without changing any other priority in the list

#

the sim currently does

#

CT first

#

then straight into Deathmark/KB window

#

Then Envenom during it

#

I mean shit

#

no

#

It depends on the fight length, but on shorter fights it prios Envenom over Rupture and Slice

#

to get the cds up and running asap

dark token
#

Yeah but you want 1 rupture minimum to proc caustic

#

Unless it applies it midway through dm?

limber lion
#

on longer fights it takes its time to get 1 Rupture up first, then Slice, then secondary Ruptures

#

Then goes into CDS with Envenom

dark token
#

Only caustic the last half?

limber lion
#

So on longer fights it does CT Rup Slice Rup Rup Envenom

#

On shorter fights it does CT Envenom Rup Slice

#

Yeah so basically anything that is like 30s+ or more it does the first one

#

Because it has time to get everything up before going into cds

#

but on shorter fights it just does an accelerated version where it does rupture during the dm window

#

and slice during it

#

but again that's for the very first pack of a mythic+ dungeon anyways

dark token
#

I'm guessing for 20s, 5t opener it's probably like gar gar CT, deathmark shiv KB gar envenom, gar fok rupture, mut mut envenom, mut mut ct

limber lion
#

gets much easier when you have slice up already

dark token
#

Yeah

limber lion
#

Honestly

#

Thinking about it, the sim isn't optimized for very short encounters

#

Like in a normal mythic+ encounter if you have slice up and like 5cp ready, you would probably just do CT first

#

followed by Deathmark Shiv Dance KB Gar

#

Envenom

#

Gar

#

And just get your Garrotes up during the dance window

dark token
#

Ye but I tend to do opener garrotes just to silence and group stuff anyway

#

But that definitely sounds like the play if dh leads with sigil of silence or something

#

Which they often do

static glacier
#

I think ct contributes a lot to SD dmg breakdown

#

Compared to rupture

limber lion
#

It does

static glacier
#

It’s just more dmg per global

limber lion
#

Currently in the sims SD doesn't work at all

#

I'm pretty sure it would push the build quite a bit higher and would show even bigger gains for stuff like this

dark token
#

Which is basically just cleave build but keep ct

#

People heavily underrate it

#

It sims higher overall than hybrid as well

dark token
#

But mostly cause SD is not implemented

#

Amp is only envenom dmg

fleet pagoda
#

wouldn't that APL be not sending CT early?

dark token
#

Your tier set and regular poison proc dmg is the same

#

You don't care much about envenom dmg except on single target

#

So it's reasonable for keys

#

I would really like a good approximation of SD value in sims but it's hard

sullen quest
#

why is that hard/not functioning atm?

dark token
#

Because enemies don't have health in sims generally

sullen quest
#

it can't apply stealth bonuses for 6 seconds to you?

dark token
#

They just die at set times

sullen quest
#

ah

dark token
#

Well they have health for purposes of execute dmg

sullen quest
#

and reach execute hp at set times also I suppose?

dark token
#

Yes they linearly decrease in health

limber lion
#

Yeah it's just tied to time

static glacier
#

Despite their issues this might be a case where they could help

static glacier
#

Implementing SD is probably difficult

#

In simc

limber lion
#

Yes

#

What does mdt sims have anything to do with it

static glacier
#

If it’s more an issue with implementation in general nothing, if it’s a matter of needing mobs with Hp then maybe it woulda helped

#

Then again dslice has dying mobs so nvm

limber lion
#

Wut

#

MDT sims are literally nothing but custom routes for sims

#

they do not implement anythign to the sim

pallid kite
#

@limber lion should i CT more often or only when is about to expire

limber lion
#

It's just a line that says how many mobs are in the first encountera

#

and how many are in the next one

#

and so on

#

that's all

sullen quest
#

MDT sim is basically just stringing together a bunch of multi target patchwerk sims no

limber lion
#

MDT sims has nothing to do with actual simming

limber lion
sullen quest
#

Yeah that's feral druid

#

^^

limber lion
#

I still feel like Feral flows a bit better

sullen quest
#

I played feral from like 2005 till DF

limber lion
#

I think it comes from the reactive proc elements of the spec

sullen quest
#

I don't like the way it feels anymore

pallid kite
#

so should i go with this talents on that rotation for aoe

sullen quest
#

atleast in ST

limber lion
#

which we don't have at all

sullen quest
#

in AoE it feels fine

limber lion
pallid kite
#

to look better?

#

or depends on my rotation

sullen quest
#

But I totally see your point

#

I feel like they've overdone it a bit with the reactive proc elements

limber lion
# sullen quest in AoE it feels fine

Yeah I like it in AoE for sure. Getting to AoE bite with free procs to maintain Sabertooth that increases our dot damage for a duration afterwards and so on

sullen quest
#

becomes a bit too spammy for my liking

limber lion
#

it all just flows so well

sullen quest
#

but yeah it does

limber lion
#

You do direct damage to all targets around you

#

which in turn buffs the dot damage

#

it's great

limber lion
pallid kite
#

and for st what am i doing wrong

#

i garrote ambush rupture

#

at the beggining

#

then caustic shiv deathmark branch shadow dance and kings

limber lion
#

Like I said

#

You should probably read a guide or check out Whispyr's videos

#

You need to have Envenom up before you start sending cds

#

for one

sullen quest
#

the opener and prio sections of wowhead are pretty easy to follow imo

limber lion
#

Yeh Whispyr made a sexy job there

i tried a rotation similar from legion now

limber lion
#

Literally just read a guide and follow it

#

Why are you trying to figure out a rotation by yourself

#

This is literally the entire single target rotation section

#

This is literally all you need to know and do

#

Outside of this you just maintain Rupture and Garrote and pool and that's it.

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
pallid kite
#

i do that

#

rotation

#

i do i think about exactly

#

but at some point i remained without energy

#

and i tea

#

but i didn't used shiv tea

#

till now

#

i'll do a fall 19 and share the logs eventually

wet hare
#

I have a quick question about the rotation, do we use first shiv before the kingsbane to prevent the little gap due to global cd if we used the shiv after the kingsbane right? So the debuff can be stay longer on the kingbane duration I guess

limber lion
#

If you use it after KB, it's not 100% uptime

#

So yes

sullen quest
#

does KB tick immediately upon casting or only after 2s?

#

As in initial damage portion + first tick, or just initial?

wet hare
flint marsh
#

!up

limber lion
#

So yeah technically you want Shiv to buff up the initial damage and not really the tick portion of it

pallid kite
#

this is WM 18 im drunk and i already know i messed up a lot but i tried to use CT frist before rupture

limber lion
#

the initial damage is kinda huge

#

how many marks of honor are gained after a pvp match on average?

pallid kite
#

it is 139k overall..

sullen quest
#

there are so many variables

#

comparing numbers like this is futile

#

Tyra, low key level, dungeon differences, comp differences (ret/bm/havoc)

#

all these things combined make for a not so nice experience on assa

feral mason
#

don’t play assa on low keys honestly

#

hurts my soul

sullen quest
#

Certainly one where it's impossible to gauge performance just on numbers alone

limber lion
#

Yeah numbers don't say much

Stick to what you know you should be doing in what order/priority and judge yourself based on whether or not you're accurately following the prio

Is envenom pandemic timer under 1s or 2s?

limber lion
#

It's 30% of the applied duration

#

So if 4cp is 4s, it's 30% of that

#

1.2s is the lowest, 1.5s is 5cp

wild birch
#

So if you pandemic a 6cp envenom that was 8s it's 2.4s?

north flax
#

Picked up assa rogue as an alt. Feeling quite energy starved during boss encounters. Bursting is fine and I think my opener and such is fine, but I feel like I'm losing DPS 'cuz of the energy. I mean, feels like Im doing something wrong.. 😛

#

my character.

wild birch
#

Do you pool?

north flax
#

Pool? I'm putting up my dots, casting deathmark and then entering kingsbane, during these cooldowns Im also using a tea. When the cooldowns are down Im just mutilate and refreshing garrote and rupture then keeping the 4set active by using envenom.

#

Should I stop doing anything for sometime to get more than 50% energy or?

wild birch
#

You slamdance on your buttons during kb windows, but then you just refresh dots and envenom during pandemic only, unless you have too much energy

#

Do you just refresh envenom regardless of it's timer?

north flax
#

yup

#

Building CP and then throwing envenom

wild birch
#

That's why you're energy starved

vestal wagon
#

you do the opener, then pool/maintain until next go step, right/

#

?

wild birch
#

Yep

north flax
#

oh, so you want to envenom when the timer is about to fall off?

wild birch
#

Outside KB window, yeah

vestal wagon
#

only be refreshing debuffs

#

from my understanding, i am literally learning how to do this now myself, havent touched Assa for like 2 xpacs

north flax
#

Oh, alright. I'm going to try it, cheers1 🙂

#

cheers!*

vestal wagon
#

it looks complicated, but its just because of how many buttons there are

wild birch
#

@north flax If at any point you drop envenom buff, you pool your energy to around 80% and start new envenom chain then

vestal wagon
#

do you use your pot on pull, or when you go to enter KB?

when I enter KB

hey long time feral just messing around with assas do I just keep up envenom debuff in between kingsbane windows

that's not what a pull means

vestal wagon
#

in a boss fight, KB should be top ability right?

No, envenom+tier

4-5th?

that should g ive you a rough estimate of what your breakdown should look like

ok thanks

i dont even have full set yet, im finishing this raid so i dont waste charges

# wild birch Is envenom pandemic timer under 1s or 2s?

!pandemic - the previous envenom’s CP are irrelevant, all that matters is A) current CP and B) current duration on the buff. My envenom bar has an option to move the pandemic tick to true pandemic as CP move, can find in LE’s profile. If you are asking because you’re making an aura, and you are making an icon aura with a glow instead of a tick mark , you’d need to use conditions with a 6-part “Any of” set for each CP.

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

1.8 is the max carry over (6 * 0.3) for Envenom, unless you are using TTK.

(Which makes it 2.4)

noob question for spiteful week as assa (my first time) since you can't restealth for garrote/rupture spreading should i use SD/Vanish as ways to restealth at the start of packs instead of the usual way?

isnt Outlaw losing MORE then assa rn

#

or like

#

forna long time

winged sun
#

Zac said that we do lose more

#

We lose real dps from bladeflurrying spiteful

#

assa is litearlly only garrote dmg, cus carnage can be used with dance/vanish anyway

and garrote is not 99% of your aoe dmg like people always act it is lol

We’re capped and we lose precise cuts value

#

I’d say it cuts real dps quite alot from outlaw

for assa its a bit annoying cus it slows your aoe down a bit

#

outlaw actually loses dmg

#

and its like that for a LONG time now lol

#

like, years at this point

#

yet people always act as if outlaw needs 0stealth, and that assa/sub do no dmg without it lol

spice spire

Mfs cope

meanwhile sub could have its stealth button removed and nothing would change lmao

sullen quest
#

btw what is this FALL dragon skip distract tech

#

Anyone got a TLDR?

#

something about distracting on the floor while its still in midair?

blazing jewel
#

Basically even though it has true sight if you shroud and distract it to the left while hugging right you can skip

sullen quest
#

What I heard was that you need to do it while its still flying and itl turn around

#

so it's that simple huh

#

ok cool

blazing jewel
#

I think it’s easier if you distract it before it fully lands but you can skip it either way

sullen quest
#

Yeah that's the bit I wanted to know, like how exactly do I approach that situation

#

how what where

torn atlas
#

I feel like it's safer to just do the stack and run?

blazing jewel
#

Nothing really stops you from doing both

#

Shroud will be up to skip the hallway at the end regardless

vital haven
#

try and distract it if you can

#

but you can just stack right and just run past it

quasi ledge
#

You always get one slow person a second behind everyone. I just distract for safety, just before it lands. Even if people "aggro" it or hit it, if its distracted it'll reset

sullen quest
#

Pressing W or holding l/r click at the same time or within 0.2s of someone else is like an impossible feat

#

idk how

pure moth
#

ive stacked and ive had people get stuck behind. Might as well just kill it

sullen quest
#

Oh I nailed it first try

#

I distracted it mid air

#

It stayed in mid air for a second and then flew away

#

Everyone in the party passed

#

healer came 10 seconds later and ran straight into it

#

I get blamed

pure moth
#

You did your part. Clearly other people went through and were fine

!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

Make sure your kingsbane rotation is good:

100% uptime on shiv (1 gcd before and immediately when it expires)
thistle tea during last 6 (not 6.5) better to do it at like 5 or 5.5 than 6.5
vanish during last 3, same as thistle, don't cast above 3

#

Since you did mention M+, leave out vanish during KB there so you can utilise it for when you need carnage

Ouroboreal neck isn't anything special for Sin right? I know it's rare but is the fire shield worth dropping for bad stats? (have a M one in my vault).

just look at the amount of items in the table in journal for both specs and pick the one that has less (they should be equal afaik)

Other than size of the pool I don't think there are hidden spec based modifiers

That can't be right...

Assassination has some hidden modifier to make cloaks show up more often I'm pretty sure.

Half of their damage is pad damage on irrelevant adds that die right away COPIUM our prio damage is what makes the key go smoothly COPIUM surely the group understands this and respects how much smoother it made the key

For some reason our caustic spatter damage, which is just pad damage onto irrelevent adds gets us nerfed

but DH doing 5x more pad damage is no problem.

only for the balance team to overnerf assassination yet again

quiet oar

It was so bsuted !!!!

#

Why is it

gusty mirage

the last 3% was completely unnecessary

quiet oar
#

That everytime one Rogue spec

#

is really top meta

#

it gets nerfed multiple times

#

but other classes like WL and Mage

gusty mirage
#

because the people who balance clearly don't play the game

quiet oar
#

can stay on top an entire tier

gusty mirage
#

also rogue population is significantly smaller than mage population for example

so when rogue is good, it seems oppressive
