the versa buff is better than the buff from monk?
Is there a consensus on what embelishment is best? Seeing a lot of people with blue silk, others with the boots and even others with shadowflame
We have a lot of magic damage in poisons
Hey everyone I’m looking for some help with my dps. My opening seems to be pretty well tuned and I can pump some serious dmg within cd but outside that window I seem to be dropping like a stone dps wise. Any suggestions on what may be the issue? I currently keep all bleeds up and 4+ cp evenom but I do not pool energy. Is it a sufficient drop in dps if I do not do that?
Would guess so, lots of magic dam.
You can just do a couple sims with different raid buffs enabled if you're really curious
if u don't pool you will have less envenom chians
!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
Happy to follow up with logs or detail meters break downs if that is helpful but didn’t want to spam them if this is not the place for it
oh
Send them
DH doesn't do anything and vers is lower than monk yea. Monk - Priest - Warrior - Enhance prob
Wait
is nature dmg magical
Pooling and playing around 4p is vital for dps, you have to do that
Wdym, dh does apply brand. That buffs posions/spatter
You cannot not pool.
Will do would a dummy be a good base point to take out other variables?
Fair enough
Does Arterial remove Enrage from 5 adds or just 1?
5
But then we have to play the Arterial Build in Fortified week, Hyrbid is better, no?
No
U just invite an aug like every other week
It's like a last resort if u got nothing else in your group and if removing the enrage actually matters
Which it doesnt in a lot of keys and key levels
We're just preparing for 25EB, so wanted to ask, but we do have an AUG.
warlock doesnt make u deal more dmg
or prot/mw/dh/assa/enh
Oh yea I guess if aug counts
is WF totem that good?
Yes
warrior/priest/dh/enh/assa
prob
I wonder if not having the DH and taking monk instad is better
so your KB actually ticks
nah we do more nature than phys

monk buff doesnt work on kb
i dunno
i dont even know if bleeds count for monk debuff
bleeding is sometimes diff than phys
I think bleeds is in the nether
It certainly fits more in physical than magical
but so does poisons
iirc, and its kinda weird
most of sins dmg has nothing to do with armor
bleeds are physical technically so that should be affected by monk
its just physical that ignores armor
Sorry for the delay On a raid dummy
Sorry I thouhgt you wanted a details break down
No
let me grab a log one moment
🔎
few weeks back, seems my guild hasnt uploaded this weeks logs
My guy why are you trying to come up with your own rotations
Would highly recommend that you read a guide and follow the rotation there
Also a few weeks before I was trrying to really up my dmg so probably a lot of mistakes
for you gents who have tried porcelain crab in m+, what was your uptime like?
mind telling me where im coming up with my own rotation here?
Whatever this is, this is completely wrong
It doesn't follow the rotation whatsoever
well that would explain a lot
No slice, no Rupture, Shiv 10s too late, Deathmark after Kingsbane, no Envenom before Kingsbane
It's all wrong
yea no excuse for the slice here
No excuse for any of it
You literally pressed a generator 6 times in a row before using a finisher
Wasting like 12 combo points
The entire basic concept of generate - finish is completely flawed

fair enough
I know were often not taking CT on Tyr weeks/some keys and playing around cleave on KB. But on Fort weeks are folks taking it? and if not what you assigning the point too instead?
Anyways, Quake opened up a thread for you where you can talk through the basics and what you can improve on
Here
It took you 58 seconds to cast your first Rupture, even though it should be the third gcd and should be up 100% of the time after that
Anyways, back to PoE

Guys justforinfo how Is sin going so low on raid After the 3%nerf?
Is not low and i know Is still strong but Is strange
Less PIs going to sin because BM is good enough to overtake.
the assassin rogue is dead in m+?
Yes
no.
Why would you think that?
they aren't fotm meta so clearly they must be dead
What's the new fotm?
Exept aug i think dh and lock
I still queu just fine to 18-20, either as assa or outlaw
lately I have hardly seen assassin anything on m+
Yea I just did a key and the funny yellow bar wasn't as long as the purple bar
it's fucking over
I can't tell you I understand because it's pretty rare for my groups to invite double rogue
And I'm usually playing assa
it was never alive in 23+
but you can play it ofc
just not meta
Sin
I just dropped my 15th branch this season guys
it has speed 
Anyone has a Weakaura for PI Cooldown?
I run Dungeons with a Priest and need to know when he has it.
Does spatter spread envenom and tier set proc dmg?
simulate my character and he told me that the best talents for m+ are the following
Do you think they are the best?
no iron wire = build isn't viable

On Fort I’m doing the AS build, on tryan I swapped to the cleave build.
I use it, but I'm not sure how can I place the PI like in center of my screen so I can track it.
That's why I thought WA is better maybe
Hybrid/AP on Forti or Cleave on Tyra
Im having the most fun ever as assassin in M+. I still like catching restealths, which I know people say you dont need. But when i can stealth and DM dance/KB on a large pack I do so much damage
!up
Is there a consensus on what embelishment is best? Seeing a lot of people with blue silk, others with the boots and even others with shadowflame
It’s between silk and boots in keys, boots in raid
are the sims working properly for ashes and cataclysmic signet brand? both of them on HC are simming lower than my sandglass and witherbark's branch on ST but I see all the top logs on fyrakk mythic for example playing them. what am I missing?
!dagger
length of fight and mobility requirements/not wanting to deal with orbs
fights over 6 minutes is where brand starts to shine
should i use the dagger of cd?
so basically I can choose to play ashes over branch in order to skip the hassle of picking up the orbs
tindral is a good example because youre making huge moves and sometimes you leave your orbs behind and never get them
and cant optimize the staggered pick up times
yeah I play most of tindral prog with the crab instead
but swapped to branch in the end and had to do a scuffed opener in order to get the trinket on cd and pick it up before the 1st move
yeah its not ideal
if you're doing a 5 min sim, brand will look pretty bad
try 10 min
will do! thanks for the help 🙂
tindral is usually a 7-8 min fight and and fyrak is like 10 min
You use it once on a mob of the type you want
and then don't need to use it again unless you change weapons iirc
Is there a logical reason why my DPS in M+ went up by just using NO CT Builds? it sims worst....but ingame does better than the rest....am i just doing something wrong with the other talent builds?
Maybe you’re paying too much attention to ct. or maybe not enough
so its me actually not using CT correctly rather than the build doing more damage right?
There’s too many factors to judge
What are the pulls like? What dungeons and what key level? What are the other dps
Are you comparing tyr week to fort
Are you just playing better this week
Well i run mostly 20-21 Keys with a Ret Pally so i noticed the change because i usually dont get as much DPS as he does, when he does 220k i do 195k.... and last night i tried the Blindside noCT build and i was doing 5k Less DPS than him
i dont think im playing better
but i do think i spam CT too much some times
Having one less plate to spin can help you pay attention to other stuff too
I think I’ll give the cleave build a try this week and see how it feels because I probably pay too much attention to CT
Yah maybe ill have to run without CT for a few weeks and see how it does in Tyr weeks
well the build with CT is just worse
how so
its not that incredible
I think that’s pull and dungeon dependent
In like the doti instances ct doesn’t get much value
Pulls are too small but eb and brh it’s gonna do alright
CT is to pad on long fortified packs
no CT is better everywhere else
there is not debate for me
There’s no pad on fort weeks. Trash gotta die too lol
so CT is just for really high fortified keys?
trash dying no matter what tbh
Yah i noticed with the ret pally buddy packs dont tend to last
ayo
Should get you a ct lover flair
why are no top assa playing CT then
what the fuck you mean PAD
applying dmg on trash mobs that will die anyways instead of getting good prio dmg on targets that must die
I am playing with CT on forti weeks, trash is dying fast, that's true. But the only concern I've got is that my KB isn't lasting it's full duration like most of the times.

Trash on fort is just pad btw
wanting to deal dmg a lot to have the funny number on details instead of nuking prio target = pad yeah
pretty sure thats the definition
when kb doesnt last long enough
all ur dmg is ct + garrotes
valuing your own ego over the key being timed
Trash dying faster is just ego
Exactly 😄
but maybe you're all right and im wrong ofc no need to send 70 emotes guys
youre probably all pushing really high keys ^^
well you sound delulu so im acting delulu
only time i would consider skipping CT is rise/fall tyran
well, yea, i have pushed, not this season but i have
and yes doing dps is good in high keys too
surely you can agree nuking a prio is more important than spreading dmg
often
and our class is good at nuking prio
just cause you talent into ct it doesnt mean you lose all rpio
why would we try to pad
my guy
yes
and u can do that
with ct in ur build

this is extreme so no
but you got what i mean
yea ofc everyone play as they like !
i write 'imo' at the end of a lot of my msg ^^ just trying to help
also pointing out that very very few top raiderio assa are playing ct
Well im not pushing High Keys but i do take Prio targets most of the time and maybe thats the reason NO CT works better for me?
looking at it and drawing conclusions without context is
i tried the build because of zerocool, whats is interesting is that weirdest shit worked better...so thx god for the weirdoes
i tried them all yesterday
and some are better for some dungeons/affixes
ofc
there's no 1 best build
its not that deep
yes bro you tried them all yesterday
the zerocool build is working wayyy better for me personally
its why i preach it ^^
but youre right
every build on every dungeon on every group on every affix
Well ye if youre focusing on prio damage and using envenom over ct even when you have ct specced youll obviously do more if you replace ct with another talent
the only one that actually step up the rest in 20s keys was that zerocool one, thats why i came to ask if its something im doing wrong with the other builds or its actually mean to do better dps
its a bunch of placebo
and a lot of biases
on top of each other
i keep changing my build around all the time
never notice it
bro, you are getting mad over nothing....nobody is trying to change your mind im just seeking for info....
you can still do you...wth
im not getting mad
im just explaining
what people cant understand
but i guess i'd need to be purple name and say this for it to matter
maybe its not what u say but the way you say it...think about it...not everything is a confrontation...
thx for the info guys
ct on 4t is equivilant dmg to a rupture on single target anyway
its equal prio dmg hybrid build vs cleave no ct build
cleave build only has more dam on boss dmg
hence take it on keys where boss dmg really matters
aka rise/fall because bosses like tyr and iridikron get shields
combat time does not scale linearly with ur single target dmg but multiplicatively on those bosses
if u have low ST you get more shields which takes even longer
other bosses where this matters is those that spawn adds (gorak tul, dht first boss)
i was so excited to play assa in m+ at the start of the patch and now we got nerfed twice and are just worse than the other 2 specs again
💔
still very fun to play ! imo
fun yep
Assa overall once again seems... too complicated. I mean compared to other specs(and classes). The effort =! gain.
ye
pretty annoying
but we are better than we were in the last 7 seasons still
even post nerf
and the gameplay is better
so im still enjoying it
like assa is definitely good enough to get 0.1% title still
Was loving it unt the nerfs, especially the 3%. Like above said, other classes do more with much less effort.
CT is extremely strong, this is just bcs of tier set
I don't know about that, I was doing relatively better/same DPS in S4 SL, but I guess that's because I was doing +20 keys only for the weeklies.
remove tier set and CT is so fucking OP
ye
as the pooling pratice wa says to pull to 5cp
also people dont realize
why on wowhead it say we can use a 4+ ?
a ct vs no ct build still has same tier set procs
its just less raw envenom dmg through amp poison
+4 for the Envenom/tier thing.
so the pooling pratice if wrong ?
cause u cant see if u can evenom
until u reach 5
4+ generally, you want to do a 5+ envenom before kingsbane/DM
No idea what's that
You can just change the trigger in the pooling practice to be 4 not 5
What poisons i play with this build in m+?
Deadly + numbing/atrophic
Opinions in-game seem to differ so I thought I'd ask here: can rogues do anything vs. the Afflicted affix? I've had good luck up until now and nobody has said anythign to me about it. Insights appreciated.
no we cant do anything this week
that was last week
deadly

Fellas is it cringe to use your utility
I'm chillin with 1 489, the other 483. Just playing the weekly slot machine now
Lucky you. I've seen 0
so whats the best dagger buff for ig pure damage? if there is one. ive just been doing the cheat death
I grinded out 2 hero track ones week 1/2
Theres no throughput buffs.
so which one is the go to?
How many runs it take. Im at 40
I run beast/leech or mechanical/cheat death depending on what I'm doing
kk ty
I don't remember i was very much in the average luck category though
probably between 20-30
Wasted my luck from last season
Leech feels nice in M+, I pref mech for raids though
im at like 70, finished prog too and still 1 only
i'm makin a little bank tab to store them all
That's what I'm doing with sandglass
Yepp
When Assassination was reworked and be gained value as a PI target, was that value a result of tuning to our haste this tier or was it a because of a more fundamental change to assassination's kit this rework?
In other words is assassination's reliance on PI something we could expect to change tier-to-tier as relative stat values shift or are we in the same boat as UDKs where we are stuck with it barring major talent changes?
We went from a slight burst spec to a mega burst spec. KB windows have a lot to do with this. I’d look at it going forward. Our tuning definitely helped our case for PI
People look at PI and see haste and go “do I like haste” but it’s more “in that window what do I do with the haste” and since it’s more poison applications, yeah it does a lot for our kb windows
So it's defintely more fundamental. If our damage profile now is based around periods of burst that line up with PI theres no way around needing PI for optimal output
Great
Get a job then idk man
i'm trying 
Spreadsheets of probability 
Oh wait
I thought you were doing a thing
I was just teasing I don’t want it to be real 
You’re right something that doesn’t matter

Why don’t you get another self promo in 
hey yall don't forget to like shares eats shoots and leaves

I currently have 4200 crit 4300 mast and 3800 haste and my sim is telling me to gem full haste.
Is there some weird brake point I'm close to that doesn't matter for us humans but does to sims?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7mDtzmZPbiwjaVRmHQekPn
No
none of those number matter. it's just telling you to gem more haste cuz you don't have enough
but you're also using sophic devotion
so before you regem everything. try simming with just sophic vs wafting devotion
264k overall in EB with cleave.. its okay
depends on key level
22
but yeah that's pretty goodge
167k throne 21 
how many attempts did it take you guys to see a nick of time, I think i'm going insane
im on 38 atm but got one on my first ever run champion track...
had a guildie get 2 on his alt, in 3 runs
56
!up
guess i gotta keep grinding then 😄
19
38 so kind of unlukcy
but u also got one already

And now a myth track in vault
used up all my luck straight away 
well i mean 7.2%
is still higher odds of that happening than getting it in one run
so like
idk a little unluck
but not unreasonable
I just need a second one from the vault at this point. the 476 is holding fast in the off hand. everbloom however has destroyed my soul
i've got 15 more crests for this week that will cap my oh
hero track
then i bump the bracers up to 486 and no more upgrades till myth track slots
if i could get a hero one i could cap it and a branch
start comin out of vault
Do you need to double garrote in aoe packs to ensure it spreads to all mobs?
nothing godo this week. i'm almost at 485. 476 branch and 476 nick holding me back
Triple sometimes
Is it okay to override a empowered rupture during pandemic window or should I let it drop totally off like garrote does?
ideally drop
but it also doesn't matter as much
cuz rupture is a smaller % of your damage
wow, 230 runs and you couldn't invite me to SINGLE one 
What builds are most people using in M+?
I invited you to all of them
Must have gotten lost in the mail 

are other memebers of your party/raid able to pick up the floating orbs from witherbar's branch?

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

Imagine if you could yoink other players orbs. Havoc zoomers would be yoinking all day
We manually make threads if you need one
where do u post them
Is wowanalyzer even updated
No
It’s updated to 10.1.5
Rework is a lot of work to update
!up
smh lazy wowanalyzer keeper
Whispyr has been coaching 
Thought it was topple’s project
Topple does implementation.
For like 8 specs.
He needs guidance on what to do. So they both work it
how complex is 10.2 sin compared to other rogue specs?
Subjective
Really easy once you learn the kingsbane burst window
RL just said PIs going to BM hunters now, what do, is it joeover?
Which boss are you at
Tindral
Do you need AoE?
curretnly on nymue tho on reclear
If so it’s joever I fear
havent pulled tindral yet
ST I feel
Tricks the hunter on pull. Then say “well i guess you can just PI me instead” after they get bonked
Sub does better both. But if you need the execute for some reason sin can be useful (both are more than fine on both tindral and fyrrak)
macro ashes to kb ye?
yes
pressing like 3 sec after KB is even better
but idk how impactful it was overall
wowhead says 3 sec after KB
You want the stats on the final tick of kb it’s a fair amount of impact
Yeah, dust sub rogue is just the most unfun build ive played in this game for me so just really didnt want to play it for last 2
So with the Ashes trinket i want to macro it to with KB? like trinket>Shadow>KB Macro?
you can
just hit it at 11 seconds remaining on KB if youre able to
4 messages above that

it's better than macro into DM but worse than that this
yah just noticed lol
vayne players smh 🙂
oh so i shouldnt even macro it...just press it last on the rotation then? like DM+Prepot Macro> Shiv> SD+KB Macro> then wait a sec or two and hit the trinket?
This is us on smolder tho. So well see if we can rekill lol


its bad...
I believe in liamr-tichondrius
or turbo extenders?
damn
but now just longer offical raid times
Unethical
just depends on how fast you kill first 6
I just realized how tf I knew you.
I raided with your mw last tier
Nice-ish guy. Bit ditzy but crazy pumper
im new to this guild this tier
i see you stalkin lol
Yeah so is he
we private log tho so cant even show parses
Nah like I said I remember checking the guy out wondering where he went (I took the tier off so idk what happened, probably mad about the echoes bit) and I always check the rogues
can blind boss
ty
Every MW
He’s no beachpatrol tho
was there drama on nelth last tier or something? do tell
We had a couple of ranged that just could not function.
300 pulls in, 4% best never killed
Like pull 250 wiping p1 is tilting 
Yeah I bet lol
could look at casts on the rogue
also I keep losing a gcd right after subterfuge for some reason
is that some ambush/mutilate stealth bar situation?
Most likely yah
I haven’t done this yet but I’m gonna put mut on my old blindside keybind and use that 4th gcd so I don’t get the weird lockout
i havent experienced it except for very recently for some reason
but now its consistently every pull
damn, my raid leader just got his legendary
just tried this and didnt work lol
You need to use a macro mutilate for that, probably, idk
even then it's super jank and idk why you'd bother
just spam the buttons harder
or take a chill pill after the first gcd
and just offset everything by 0.2s
im spamming harder and its fine I guess

Im hitting blind but not seeing it on all the mobs
my frames are ass but im not sure its happening
tindral adds*
do u always use ambush to generate cp in stealth ? a guildie told me to use mutilate during kb window
should i have both bound for stealth
mut in kb window applies like 3 more poison stacks and does very very little extra damage
or did
You can use mutilate for a small gain in dm+kb window but the gain is super duper small
Like 2-300 dps I think
not worth worrying about
okie
does anyone know why i'd be getting knocked out of stealth pre-pull from getting healed?
Stealth can break from:
- evoker leggo buff (Unbound Surge) dropping
- Essence trinket on buff gain
- Voice of the Silent Star (Sark cape)
- Misterweaver soothing mist when talented into unison (spec capstone)
- Blossom of Amirdrassil (trinket) initial hot dropping/spreading
- Vicious brand (Signet trinket self damage)
Does mw play unison? I thought they didn’t
this one does
dude the amount of parries and jank dodging and positioning on tindral is wild
Does anyone know at what uptime % BSL outsims toxic stuff on ST?
40 or 60 idr
ty
6/9m, Nymue is down, lets goooo
what posions do we run for m+?
Hey question. New to the class but curious, when do we capitalize on Caustic Splatter vs just using fan of knives outside of funnel damage? Like is there a target count you should swap at or do we always want Fan in straight AoE without a priority target? Also what poisons to use when?
you just take one target with the most hp, apply caustic with one mutilate and then use fok with enough targets until caustic is wearing off. then you just repeat
atro, crippling (if sanguine week, dont apply it in m+), ampli and deadly poison
Foe = fok?
yeah, thought of something else lol

I mean its already way lower if you look at Damage instead of Damage to Bosses - but as far as damage to Bosses is concerned; yes a lot of it is PI driven
but not Aug, most of the stuff is reattributed to Aug and removed from our logs
still a few leftover bugs on that I think
windfury is kinda your pi on sub
but yeah, you dont need the pi to do more dmg while the pi can (and is already) go to a bm/udk without you losing anything
or more like the raid
Yeah would be a bit simpler than having to macro every priest's name i come across 
iim also pretty sure sub will get its share of balancing the coming weeks
Short of deleting Shadowdust not much they can do for sub I think... but the mages I know sure are happy that Sin is not at the top anymore -_-
altough dust is kinda coinflip imo
it will either be too good to not use
or too bad to use
and im pretty sure they will keep it for the time being
Can somebody explain to me what spell hook is
Outlaw has a spell that involves a hook
grappling hook ? https://www.wowhead.com/spell=195457/grappling-hook

just fyi the statistic still does not include fyrakk
What could change for these statistics if it did include him ?
havoc probably gets better
ww will get better too
also one thing to mention, normalization:
by dps:
devstation and DH both climp the statisic a bit if you aggregate by dps (also demo looks even stronger)
Quite interesting to see all 3 rogue specs doing really well
i believe DH and WW climb up higher with more logs uploaded
the ranking of specs in the metric many look at for tuning
Yeah seems like it pretty much
is this bait? looks like bait
Myaahh
myaaahhh
nyaaaah
Yeah I mean... Sin isn't looking as hot when you look at the last week. Sin still gets PI, so keeping that in mind we are not close to the top anymore
I know that PI isn't the end all be all aspect but it's important imo to remember that it is part of that chart everyone always looks at
why is even PI a thing in logs
why doesnt it just get disqualified from rankings if log finds out that the player got external?
You can log at the logs themselves and exclude external buffs, the aggregate statistics does not
okay but like
whenever someone pulls out a graph out of their ass
id be nice if they already done it before
like i keep seeing wowhead updates
like "this is the dps for the past week"
somebody WILL get it lol
and they look at it and see a spec that got 30k dps from externals alone
@lime crypt they polled asking if people wanted it removed from logs ages ago with multiple options of how to do it and like 50% of people voted to exclude pi from logs but they ended up just going with the current system of showing external buffs anyway

Not at my desk atm
There are still people thinking we should get further nerfs, mainly cause they have no idea how to understand the context of any chart they look at, and because they still get beat on the meters
Nevermind that not getting PI feels like shit. I hate PI -_-
delete pi
why are people so focused on only pi tho
isnt windfury totem as potent as pi is?
pi is 12k for sin
and windfury is 8k
or does it get deduced?
@slate crown That works, thank you so muchhhhhh
windfury is a party buff so it's not really an external, the same way that monk/dh debuff and warrior buff isn't considered an external either
every raid group should have one
why are you not in the WF group lol
but yes, you have higher chance of getting windfury than pi lol
why tf wouldn't you be in windfury
like, rogue is #1wft class
does your raid have 4 sub rogues or something lmao
I mean if you aren't in the windfury party I'd ask serious questions to your rl
6 sub rogues 
14 

and none of them know how to play dust
whispyr can be the wft
what is he cooking 
1 am cook, 1am cook, 1am cook
Myahhhh
hes going to find .01% dps in the apl right here right now
like realistically I think if you want to truly remove PI and externals from statistics, you also have to remove windfury, dh debuff, monk debuff, warrior buff, etc, and they should all re-attribute to the specs if that's the goal
The problem with doing that though is that for one, it's really fking hard to reverse those numbers, and that's not really how blizzard designed raid buffs in general. They're toeing the line between externals and raid buffs on a lot of the stuff. Demon hunter/monk debuff is basically 150k dps in a mythic raid. But tuning a demon hunter to do 50k dps because their raid buff is worth 150k so that it stacks up with other classes is some actual braindead shit, for obvious reasons.
So those gotta stay in, windfury included. PI is a personal external, so it's the biggest contended buff, but the math on PI is also by far the hardest
All that being said though, blizzard isn't a company full of bozos, and they know as well as anyone else that PI and windfury and stuff has value to specs. They have the ability to go to google and smash their feet onto the keyboard until "bloodmallet.com" shows up in their search just like any other average wow player would smash their feet into the keyboard. To assume that they just see long warcraftlogs bar and punch a spec for it with no thought is frankly nothing short of delusional, and they've accounted for these things before in their tuning, like arcane mage, warlock, etc. They tune because things are just really fkin strong or really fking weak
Within each of us reside two bunnies – one full of hope and joy, the other wise and weathered by experience. Nurture the bunny of optimism, letting it bound through challenges, but keep the bunny of wisdom close, guiding you with seasoned insight through life's warrens.
Yep, they do what they do for a reason. I'm only sick of people telling me I should get further nerfed and never understand any context to the damn charts they are pointing at
wtf my bnuy!!
The only solution to that is to find better people to talk to
because you can't fix people that choose ignorance.

Equipped with tiny daggers strapped to its sides, the bunny rogue would engage in swift and sneaky movements, using its agility to dodge attacks and deliver surprising strikes. Its emotes might include playful hops, sly winks, and cute gestures to distract enemies before landing a decisive blow.
In the world of Azeroth, this bunny rogue would be the epitome of stealth and charm, proving that even the smallest and seemingly innocent creatures can be formidable and cunning adventurers.```
For sure. Still fact remains that removing PI from the charts, I'd like to see those results too~ the other raid buffs are so much easier to access across the board, PI really is the main outlier IMO
... I want that to be real
sounds familiar
Mind. Blown.
bunny meat is quite tasty
That sound broken as fuck, there's no way they'd put something like that in the game
Who let this trash panda in here 👺
im having the Peak "using the train in germany" experience rn
first one was 10min late, next one is 29min late, somebody tried to grab my wallet from my pockets


german trains are the complete opposite of what you would think about german punctuality
my expirence when i was in germany was some guy coming to sit right next to me cause he heard me speak hebrew and threateningly ask me where i'm from so i lied from russia
and then i forgot my bag with my wallet and passport in the train

it's a whole story arc. i eventually got it back
I'm not sure saying you're from russia is really a great cover story if you're trying to appease europeans
considering they ain't too happy with shit over there
He wasn't european i can tell you that.
I see
the guy next to me in school was russian for 5years man lol
also it was back in 2016
That being said, The chocolate cake i bought in starbucks in Berlin might have been the best cake i ate in my life.
And currywurst is a legitimate reason to visit germany.
currywurst is goated
ill show you a wurst frfr

mini wiener?

Each day I don't eat a wiener is a day not lived.
based
can we pin that
feels like a great quote for the end of the year
I can fix it for you
is it your child
no
okay, but if you grab the child and take it with you on the train
would it be your child
his mom is right there
that sounds like an opportunity for a date, and a free child

"How i met your mother"
"I kidnapped you"
:o

just buy a car
the best part is
they want people to use public transport more than cars
but do nothing to make the experience of traveling by train/bus or whatever better
all they do is making driving a car more expensive
all the while traveling by train is way too expensive as well
bochum has the best curry wurst imo unique sauce
Due to latest statistics, you guys consider outlaw > assa, or assa is still strong and even easier rotation as it is a pretty much straight forward spec?
latest statistics show that outlaw is middle of the pack boss dmg, didnt even think once about going outlaw for raid
As a German that pisses me off immensely. I ride my bike pretty much everywhere in town, but travel by train which I generally like. But come on get them the fuck on time...
didn't read anything asides from this line, are you talking about The Netherlands?

it's a joke, it's not that serious
I'm not even good at playing sin 
ill link this though
Delete this screenshot! Otherwise Blizz will nerf us more and buff Outlaw!

Dumb question, but cba googling it...
Will +17 drop Hero items that can be upgraded to 483, or it's from +19?
!up
So if I farm Everbloom on +17 for Branch, it will drop it on 467 Hero?
17s are hero gear drops. But 18s you get mythic track in vault
16 aspect
17 highest drop track
18 highest vault track
19 highest drop
20 highest vault item level
not at all confusing

you spend way more resources that way
Yeah it’s literally just “do 8 18+ in the week, then just spam 17+” for max rewards. Or more simply what tyran said, just do 18s and ignore all else
You get them eventually
19 takes 1 minute longer and you don't have to spend 15 additional crests
If you’re farming a piece of specific gear that refuses to drop
The crests will come
You only need a finite number of crests
Also true, you're never going to get all your chase items before you're drowning in crests

but it saves many many hours of gearing at the beginning, which gets you accepted to keys easier afterwards
Unless you’re one of those “enjoys M+” people I’ve heard about
can I custom the branch usage on sims?, like just use it and get the 3 orbs asap?
Since the beginning of the season I have been looking for that dagger and it hasn't dropped me
I got lucky this time, but I know what it feels like to do 50-100 runs for 1 item
Think I got both trinket and 1 dagger within 40 runs
I'm guessing you'd need to add that manually
What of it? 
hey yall, brand new to rogue - trying to make sure I am understanding the sin openner/rotation correctly.
looking at wowhead, it shows the first global of SD/KB window being improved garrote, then a envenom at 4 cb (1 from shiv, 1 from kb, 2 from improved garrote).
however when I run a sim to see if I'm near the dps I should be on my opener, the API has the first global of SD/KB being an envenom at 2 cb (just the shiv and KB cbs) and the imp garrote after.
Am I understanding correctly? Which is the correct order while in SD/KB?
Is the 2 cb envenom the first one in the DM opener?
Because it might be to get 100% uptime of envenom during KB
Sims show a loose example not how to play to a T
Sequencing matters but the difference is minimal
It probably does the ideal but breaks the general rule so the guide probably just follows that rule
why it gotta be shit tho
aight, ty guys
Augury of the Primal Ass Flame
Isnt that kinda good for M+? I mean not brach/sandglass but still
The first fire and the last
problem is, Im running branch/sandglass hahaha
Ouchy!
pretty sure it is
on keys 24++, do we take tepid vers or still corrupting rage?
Good afternoon any recommended elvui profile for assassination rogue? :))
!wa
Assassination Weakauras/Plater profiles:
Whispyr's Afenar Edit
Luxthos's Group
LE's Group
LE's Profile (lots of one-off weakauras)
Devlin's Group
Ceverion's Plater
Whispyr's Plater
Pooling Practice Tool
I haven't used elvui in years, how could you even have a spec specific profile?
isn't it just chat and party/raid and actionbars?
and frames
hmmm i am just returning to wow again . So basically my question should be any advice for ui setttings? :))
No
Ah. Well nothing spec or class specific as it has very little to do with that.
a good WA pack as linked above is essential for combat
you can use clique to bind things like TOTT and shadowstep to a key that only triggers their use when hovering over someones frame in party or raid
you can use bartender to configure and hide actionbars
But even then, the exact positions, size, orientation etc are all something people fiddle with
you can also just stick to a nice all in one like elvui and just add a WA
Purely for UI though I would say WA essential, and once you've developed all the muscle memory hide your actionbars to save space and have a nice clean look, everything else is kinda personal preference
thank you :))
That’s how you adjust the setting.
Ur so real for that
You can add that to expert mode expansion options I think, on mobile atm so can’t verify exactly where but that’s the line to adjust
damn ty so much
Also you won’t want to immediately collect all 3 (not that you can), you absolutely want to make sure you have 3 stacks for the end of Kingsbane, and if you pop on DM, then get all 3 immediately, the buff won’t be up for the end
I can tell you where in a second
Teamwork makes the dream work
Raid actors 95% sure
So if you were to cast it and instead of chasing down the balls you just keep moving to avoid them, until about 4-5 seconds have passed, then get all 3 stacks to last for the remainder of KB, you'd get fairly close to the optimised value without having to play this stupid ball chasing mini game
Because man, I hate it
Especially in M+ on large pulls where it's just impossible to see the balls
If you want a comparison of many “have 3 stacks at KB end” options, here’s a test I did #1065730164077645916 message
Classic LE self promo 
(This is good shit tho fr)
I'd say Vers. Never done any M+ higher than +20 with corrupting rage, but that's just me I guess.
Vers gives you also nice -dmg% taken, while corrupting rage can give your healer a hard time during the hectic circumstances.
oh cool, thx!
The numbers are just time between pickups right?
I want to know 0/0/5 basically
though I suppose 1/1/6 and 1/1/5 come close enough
running into atleast one of the orbs is probably inevitable
as in this?
yes you can
No you can’t
counting in my head, so fairly inaccurate, after activation you can easily get out under from touching any of the orbs and run around for roughly 14 seconds before they despawn
how would that be written down
dodging all of them for 5 sec
then picking all up at the same time
5/5/5
when im envenom chaining, what energy do i want to stop spamming envenom at
is it until i cant cast it?
Right, gotcha
Until you can’t cast
Then pool
kk
That's why I asked "are the numbers time between pickups"
but the numbers represent time TILL pickup for each orb individually
my bad
Ye
ok I dont get these results at all then
3/3/3 means you miss the last 2 ticks of KB
3/3/6 means you extend just enough to include the last 2
yet that one sims worse
what is best race for assa?
from bloodmallet
keep in mind stuff like stoneform dispelling you can matter more than an extra 200 simdps
Loosely fits earlier sims too
Post
That's Ensconced's sim
So it would appear that the damage in those first 3 seconds holds as much weight as damage in the end during the last ticks of KB
doesn't make any sense why this would be the case tbh
the MA argument doesn't work cus we vanish for MA at the end of KB
on ST MA is long lost anyway by the time you get to activating trinket
could this be sim length fuckery? since it's +-1min
if you synch it with DM (do you?)
Yes you sync with dm
yeah so no MA there
you will get MA 2 globals after DM activation normally
then again 3s before KB expiration
I can't come up with a reason why not having trinket for last ticks of KB would ever not be a loss tbh
since even assuming you cap KB stacks you'd be very unlikely to do it within 4-5 globals
or why it seems that those 2 globals between 3/3/7 and 1/1/7 are 1k dps
that's crazy
this is one of those cases where we just make a value judgement in terms of possibility of execution / theoretical reasons
rather than fully follow the sims
yeah, in any case it's good to see that you don't have to eye a timer, as long as you pick up the first 2 quickly and delay the last by anywhere from 5 to 8 you're basically good
but if you fail to get a single orb 1 second late
you're fucked and might aswell be using another trinket
,
personally I pick first 2 asap then stare at KB timer
as soon as it hits 10 I will run into the orb i've kited
oh yeah that's a good way to do it
im sure someone could make a WA to give a sound cue etc to help time that stuff
well like I said the third orb seems to be where you have the most leeway
it's just the first 2 that cause massive issues
simming this week's vault
finding it difficult to make a decision
it's between branch and socket
socket lets me use myth belt @489 up from 483 socketed belt but branch is a longterm bis item
350dps loss :l
how likely is it you get offered another myth branch vs you getting another socket
exactly
