Boots for sub bis
can't drop thorn boots til next spark
either way, some gaming gems / switching helm fixes it
What did you craft?
boots + bracers + 2x ring
highkey
I recrafted wrist and 1 ring to bsl
the bis list for sub is fake
And equip 483 boots
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I mean those are the bis statted boots for sub
You could craft 486 boots that are worse but
Yeah
not even crafting boots
Anyway just tossing that as an option
you'd just run a mastery heavy item in a place where the list prioritises a non mastery stat
For sub?
ye this is sub talk
You run mastery vers in every stat
If you can
There is no non mastery gear now except tier
Also I prioritise bis items over sockets
Socket I can get any week
Bis item you won't see for months again maybe
Short term socket DPS gain doesn't matter
That's why I took 489 vers/mast neck over the socket this week
Even tho it's 300 DPS loss
I can pick it up next week
But crafted slightly better
can just pay for socket 489
speaking of which time to see if socketed helm price's gone down. been waiting to buy it
Eh bsl helm is slightly better than bsl wrist for sub
Go volocross wrist
Crafted helm over boe
Not much better but it's cheaper for sure
now I check the OL profile, seems to be needing a lot of haste
I’ve been simming and it’s been wanting me around 27% haste
Before I got branch and was using ashes it was around 18%
ever simmed wafting vs sophic with / without it
I haven’t no
on sin / sub / enh it really shows
how much the trinket likes haste or just gcds i think
it's why I think fury's gain from it is so high, they cap its stacks quicker
I think it stacks just faster with haste but it’s crazy to seen the gains between haste specs and non haste specs
Hey im about to start tindral prog, i noticed that tindral prog is pretty mixed with Sub/Sin rogues what are the reasons to play either?
Sin does final phase boss dam.
Sub more balanced and deals a bit of aoe.
Afaik that’s the big split
okay okay, what about like the flying timing? do they both prefer the same assignments there?
Skill issue tbh
Qol is qol
sub is just better on tindral
cause dmg in p1 == dmg in p3
Yeah but people are hard stuck on the execute notion
3/3/3 = wait 3 sec, then wait 3 sec, then wait 3 sec. that gives you full uptime 9 seconds into death mark, and 3 stacks for the final 7 seconds of kb
yea and damage in p1 also helps there
Literally why guy played it instead of sub
More damage does indeed equal more damage
I didn’t say the absolute truth. I just stated the logic for the split
Also idn
I just literally took the string and made all the permutations and threw it at the robot and that's what I got
i would've 100% played sub instead of assa, even before second nerf. just didnt want to play sub
I just reran and 1/1/7 simmed 67 dps better
is sub strong enough that if i feel like im worse at sub that its worth playing? i felt like on smoldy i just did more dmg as sub even if i was playing it a bit worse
I have a question for all you ass mains; What transmog do yall slappon your daggers?
I don’t think sub for tind is smoldy level
Edge of night
I like the Terros dagger tmog
ofc not, but it is better than assa
and saying it isnt is pure cope
Not in my heart bozo
i might try out both tonight and see how it goes
🫡
Edge of Night or the Dark Kyrian Daggers
EoN an early favorite. I'm partial to the Red Ghostblades. I've had them for so long, sheating daggers anywhere other than my back feels awful.
honestly the nick appearance has been pretty fine for me lately
and its a visual reminder of all the time i spent grinding that dungeon, watching DHs loot Double Time in my face
electrowing dagger LFR appearance or the blue Kingslayers 😄
I’m using leggo daggers because I’m basic af
Ok now I have 2 complete opposite answers of what those numbers actually mean and I don't know anymore what's right lol
So its not time to pick up each of the 3 orbs individually, it is time between pickups as I assumed initially 🤔
Isn’t that the same thing
No, assuming 3/3/3, which could either mean at 0 you do nothing, 3 you pick up 1 orb, 6 you pick up the second and 9 the third. VS at 0 you do nothing at 3 you pick up all 3
Yes that's why I assumed the former
someone got tipps for council
But I got told that's wrong
By fucking who lmao
The other person in the conversation
It’s written in plain English in the wowhead guide
Anyway, with the former the results make way more sense
Hit the boss
Me because I wasn’t reading 
My bad 
look wc logs builds
volunteer to be perma duck and then use that as an excuse
take the dot spread talent (idk the name) and go big on pull
and then chill
jump around
But then how do you sim picking up all 3 orbs within like a second of eachother after 6 or so seconds, at that point they're so close together than you can do it in like 0.5s
6/0/0
but I was told 0 is impossible
0 is impossible
0 is impossible for first
Like 0/0/0
right
Which is what I read into
But if I’d had an ounce of realization. 2/1/7 wouldn’t have been an option on the way I showed it
I'd be curious to see 6/1/0 or 6/1/1
i dont think ashes is ever better if you can manage the orbs (and you can on this boss)
but maybe im wrong
Simming 6/0/0 is irrelevant anyway cause it’s just really fucking bad
Don’t work and do things kids 
i just never consider ashes cause i have 489 branch
That was more to shift it towards the latter half and end of KB
You think that's way worse than having it for like 75% of KB but not the last bit?
I understand
Well this is obviously even worse
That's what I thought
Not having it for the first half of Deathmark is awful
Not having it for the end of kb is even awfully
Just
That's basically 1/1/1 and 1/1/2
how do i sim 1/tankmoved/never

I actually lowkey hate you guys
I'm not asking for what to do
I'm simply curious about this specific hypothetical scenario
The one where you can't fucking see your balls ever because of all the shit on the screen
I hate not seeing my balls
I'm not!
there are weakauras for balls
weakauras that make you see balls?
I don’t look at balls
like 3 dots on your screen that disappear when you take balls
You just run the figure 7
its not too great but it helps me a lot
Last one just hits you
yea the last one is fairly easy, the movement speed is predictable
If you can’t pick up orbs consistently the trinket is dead and you play ashes
What if I 1/4/2 it tho
I'm the only person who's ever been in a situation in m+ where I press trinket and I literally can't see any of the balls on the floor?
really?
happens to me all the time
You're all acting like this is not a thing
if you use roman numerals run the figure upside down 50
you said something different last night

get a weakaura for branch and try to play with it, it will help you in these scenarios
But 
and sometimes balls go in frontal or something well you just lose some dmg whatever
they spawn in the same place every time, you run up+right, straight left, and it gets you 2 orbs without looking
It’s complete muscle memory
You don’t have to look at anything
Yeah I'm not at that point yet
Skill issue
Yeah
Toxic mf
Oh whispyr answered what I was typing so I’ll just say balls balls balls balls
I have not yet touched as many balls in life
God I wish I had
I'ts never too late
Rule is basically if you can grab orbs, branch good. If you suck at the game, branch is unplayable
Even just picking up all 3 instantly means you play ashes tbh
According to Ensc's sim you'd have to fuck up pretty fucking hard to hit the 2k+ dps loss that would push you towards ashes
sounds almost impossible, or rather, it'd have to be deliberate
Atleast for me it's roughly 2k atm
idk im not very good at the game at all and i still manage to get within 2s of ideal orb grabbing time even at my worst
like whispyr said it's just muscle memory, I hadn't even picked up on the fact that the pattern is the same every time yet
aside from seal fate and blindside the entire opener could be done with eyes closed
not wrong
Blindside?
in m+ build
Press da button
it's right there in the name
doesnt ambush give 1 more combo point assuming no crit?

Extra combo points with ambush tho
Ambush is 2, +crit is 1 is 3
You just always double generate
And you can do it with your eyes closed
huh....i dunno why i thought....ambush gave 3
splendid
but yeah the bigger point i was making is that rotation very scripted, punch dummy til you can turn off brain
is lorgs just broken rn?
Looks fine to me
You look fine to me
D: i cant get it to work at all for me lol
Can’t get it to work how
might just restart chrome rq
lol at all the Gnarlroot parses where they got the prepull PI
huh weird its still not working
guys im raiding with no pi/ no windfury, youre welcome im bringing down the dps for y'all
and you stick with assa?
ofc

i dont care anymore, prog is over
(didnt care before either)
though i do wish to reroll from rogue
maybe play a healer
Varas Healer Arc 
i really want to try it atleast a bit seriously
Which healer would you play?
definetly not druid, the only one ive tried before
monk seems hit or miss if its good or not
pala and priest i dont have any leveled character so its rougher
!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
!dagger
quick question
in a situation where i get to 4 cp immediately on first builder should I build again to get 5+ or just pool until envenom?
i'm not sure if this can be tested reliably but it's always been something I've wondered
even if i have a free ambush proc?
Yes
it always feels bad to wait on the free ambush since im not spending energy

It would be 1 stack
you do that with your basic attacks
by pooling
at 4cp
Any rogues here with hero track Nicholas want to come run fall with me? I will pay you 50k per run
If the wep drops you trade me tho 
I'll do it tonight lol
That’s one
What tf is a fursona
convincing misdirection
I have spent 450k so far on runs no luck so far
i've done almost 70 and only 1
where?!?
talking about fursonas


What actually is a fursona
anyone know how the sim treats branch? does it assume optimal usage with spacing out the orbs or what
nope
eu?
My results came back, I am a feline.
Na

well gl anyway ^^

Ill join, got double nicho. EU?
Na
Damn
!fuu

I'm still tryna figure out what track hero Nicholas is
Lmfao
I like looking at xmog stuff
"nick of time"
the dagger from dawn of the infinites

🙏 thanks
Nichole fulltime*
This is the first time I've heard of dawn of the infinites
I'm out of the loop on this game 😮💨
@arctic socket ill run it i got 2
Good luck king
You’re gonna need it
i already got 2 brotha, tryina help this dude out
Oh
He’s meaning
im almost all bis, just gotta get to 489 i think im 484.
i got my second 2 runs after my first i almost shit on the floor
But also yeah TO is poop.
Every day he threatens to filter me
Man sped run it
Nah I threaten to hit the filter
If we get a good tank and an aug well burn through em

🦐
That’s on gang
Mhm

You don’t expose armor in vanilla

is that bfd raid fun tho?
Faerie fire
You complete it in 30ish minutes
Then go afk for three days
Bro
Repeat
Nah
⁉️
Also nice name too bad ur parse lost to the hunter
Wait
That’s the wrong log
There we go
I’m not actually playing rogue in sod
Btw
I’m the mage

everyone asking how to get good parses, is their shiv too late, are they using tea to early rupture this envenom that
but the real tech
I was gonna do this my next raid
It’s op
Don’t leak my strats
Af
I didn’t use it o nyk mage
I don’t know how to parse as mage
Too low mana pool
Gabagool class
I cast Then oom
Me fr
something weird has been happening in dungeons today
i finally decided to stop holding cooldowns, and it feels like i'm casting them more now? and they're doing more damage?
how do explain?
Stealthi and shmeeps said to just always send and never hold and that’s how you do big dam so I try and stick to that
but in all seriousness, like i've always known it was true but it just feels wrong to send deathmark on something that'll die 5s in. but as i'm doing slightly higher keys that happens less and also it just makes the dungeon go faster
also i'd always thought "save deathmark for boss, you gotta mr prio man!" but then i realized that having it come up mid fight as okay, especially if you net some free zoldyk value
I’ve decided since its raging week and I wanna be extra lazy imma play the ap blindside build with internal bleeding and only do 18’s this week
hell no man this is the free-est week ever
If you were to do higher keys, this would be the week
Literally free affixes
Plenty of time left to push. And this week is free but everyone is still on vacation so no push for me
"i can feel different levels of haste for ass" thats cap cause i didnt even just realize that afflicted went off just now
@spice spire 
I doubt anyone is talking about aoe
I might
as long as youre not missing a cast of Dm it doesnt matter when you cast it tbh
Quick Question if i have 2 charges of tea left do i still pool or can i dump energy?
!ui
the rest you send
/ui
merci Senior!

Workge Thread
Does BM is rly higher PI target than SIN ? - according to bloodmallet it is
Yes
if you have everything up on pull, you dont starve energy becasue of bl?
I havent noticed it
since you will have DM up
2 garr and 2 rup will give you lots of energy
Hello Guys
What do you prefer
everbloom trinket or Ashes trinket
i see lot of rogues play with Ashes on the last
Ashes, cause everbloom wont drop for me
If u have the choice
havent played with everbloom so i cant really say. others have said that ashes is better on some fights due to movement constraints, even if everbloom trinket is better.
also the minus haste sucks ass in dungeons, i play mirror in M+ but I think I would prefer the branch over both
I have a 483 branch and ashes and I run ash
It’s a .4 dps loss
For me
Qol things
So I run 489 sand glass and 483 ash
no, never.
Question about weapon enchants: does it matter where the enchant is? My MH is simming higher with wafting (hero track timestrike), but i also use it for my outlaw m+ gear, would it be any dif if i just slap wafting on the offhand (that i wont use in OL gear) and call it a day?
thats what i do but that certainly doesnt mean its right. sophic and wafting simmed close enough for me where it was worth it since i dont have an extra OH to enchant
Yeah i got 2 nicks, and using the better one as an OH for OL
doesn't matter at all, raidbots just has to hit one
Many thanks Whispyr-sama
np
(tbf i just noticed the dif is like 8 dps, not actually worth it spending 5/6k for that)
well yeh
that's cause it doesn't matter
margin of error
it's not actually 8 dps
its just small enough to the point where it doesn't know better
Margin of 101 dps +/-, still, not worth the gold for such a margin, im fine like i am rn, many thanks again xD
Whispyr made an excellent video on how. To review logs on ur own, check it out
a quick glance says your dances are kind of psycho (you dont snapshot some of your KBs with it, including the opener), and you have some wasted ambush casts (over cap on CP).
If you have trouble remembering when to KB/Dance, make a macro with both. It works for 100% of single target/raid purposes. With ambush, it's okay to finish on 4 CP. If you do that you'll never overcap on ambush CP.
Dance windows were definitely biggest areas
I like to take sophic when it's within margin of error of wafting
Cause it's better on aoe and for sub multispeccing
Fuck devotion enchant
I hope tww has better enchants
does anyone have the branch macro pwease OwO
You know we only put it in the power bottom spot
thank you whispyr sama
Truth
Passive is on top
This is the way
!dagger
what are the chances that sin gets the bat again
hopefully 0 - we're great PI targets still but not top of the charts, unless they know something we dont about Sin performance, which is always possible mind you, I dont see Sin being nerfed again
Sin is in the middle now, doubt it gets nerfed again
It really does feel bad right now if we don't get PI in raids, doesnt it 😦 I mean I get everyone will feel differently about that on their own but still
the last nerf was clearly balancing around PI
at least we're still perfectly viable and performing, so I will likely not be asked to change spec for Smoldy (I hope lol)
u will
we start Smold progression tonight, looking forward to that
sub slams smold
so hard
especially post sin nerf
its kinda a grief
u can stay sin fyrakk
yeah but I absolutely god damn hate playing with Dust, I hate everything about it, so as long as I dont have to play it, I will persist
is it worth going sub while still using toxic boots+patch?
embellishments are relatively minor now, it wont make or break Sub to use that combo
fair enough
would anyone be willing to look at some logs of mine and give tips what I'm doing wrong/ could improve?
in sod does nature damage affect poisons or deadly brew?
sup
#classic-discussion or different discord, we're heavily focused on retail
what exactly does timestrike do on nick of time dagger? what does it scale with, how does it work, what percentage dmg does it do?
and how often does it proc
10% chance to replicate 10% of your damage
Doesn't scale with anything
it says +315 on each sword. so if you have both thats a 10% chance?
One is 10% to replicate 10%
2 is 20% for 10% or 10 for 20, idk
Or mby even 20 for 20
so would that be better than cruel dreamcarver and betrayers cinderblade?
Offhand always. Mainhand a 489 beats a 483 nick
Its 10% to replicate 10% of your damage as seperate debuffs
I can't even get into any 23+ keys
Play your own. Or get that io up and spam apply ig
tbf, 23 is allready reaching the normal pug ceeling
Not this season. You'll meet plenty of monkeys but you can still time it with them.
(But the answer is no, poisons don't scale off any + spell damage effects in sod, they scale off AP now with deadly brew)
Ok
what shit is this new search for discord mobile?
and does it suck for everyone else?
Like typing simple phrases nets 0 results and I search on my computer and it gives me hundreds of results
Always been the case for me on mobile discord, no matter the version.
It just sucks.
I feel like it was hard to use before but it at least worked, like it returned results, now it just sucks to use and doesn't work

welcome to discord mobile
every 2-4months an update that makes it worse and worse
D: D:
is deathmark cast then bleeds are cast
or bleeds then deathmark
i dont know why im just parsing like a turd
Does not matter, deathmark replicates bleeds that currently exist or are applied after
and my kings bane is hitting 50% of similar rogues
im 2nd
i dont know what im doing
!guide That said, you should review the standard opener sequence, it's pretty structured and doesn't change much
Assassination Guides:
Wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/assassination-rogue-guide
IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
Follow that sequence on the opener guide for KB ramp damage
It benefits from bleeds through A) the energy those bleeds give you to cast other abilities, and B) through the Lethal Dose talent
Correct
amp and deadly
Correct
You’re not vanishing the final 3s of vanish and you let your branch fall off by the final tick
So all around kb window was super bad
ok so branch play is really that important
and i cant vanish every KB
its 2 mins isnt it?
Your opening sequence is a bit of a mess
Does 2pc bug be fixed?
Like I said, there's a breakdown of step by step what it should be on wowhead, I would start there, rather than us pick apart each global that is off first
yes
i thought i was bang on with oepner
(if you mean the "randomly drops after capping" bug from end of PTR, yes that was fixed)
I mean
You linked a log above, you can look at the opener there. Yaneh's opener (the first log you linked) is pretty good. Not perfect, vanish was 0.5sec too early but otherwise was fine.
Your log (the second link), if I go to your volc kill, looks completely different.
No I mean 2pc buff will decrease like 2-3% autoattack and bleed damage
oh I didn't know that was a bug that existed, is this recent?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/9thY84DMRZCjb3n2#fight=5&type=damage-done can someone take a look at th is log and let me know how what i can work on.
I heard someone mention it about a week or two ago
@glad tundra you miss thistle tea timing, shiv timing (non existant for the most important part of your kb) and vanished early in ur kb dm opener
whats the most important part
i thought you pre shiv
and then once again during KB\
The shiv at the end is more important than the one at the beginning
bc kingsbane damage ramps up as it ticks
Guide just says shiv when expires
So is it no shiv KB shiv on expire
of first shiv
no, 2 shivs for ur opener
2nd one is roughly halfway through yea, needs to be up for the last tick of kb
If you time it right, shiv should cover the whole duration - but if you mess up the timing then make sure you have shiv at the end, dont worry about the beginning as much
right at the end?
ill link a good weakaura for tracking ur timings in kb
shiv-kb-stuff-shiv when first shiv falls off-stuff
or half way through i thought i want the buff 100% uptime on KB
this should be every single kb
within 7 seconds of KB expiring.
vanish at 3
Has vanish timing, shiv timing and tea timing
ty
i believe if you have ashes it also has that built in
Is anyone having luck with the bone spike build, is it really comparable to dance
no one is using it
also @glad tundra your priest is PI-ing the affy lock, you get more value from PI so maybe consider asking ur RL or the priest for PI over him
Im aware of that.... our lock is bone headed sometimes
its quite a significant jump, 30% increase over affy so worth mentioning
According to the WA im not supposed to be in a shadow dance the whole time KB is up?
yea, but if the Bm hasnt mentioned it then take it for urself
you dance before KB
Thats what i thought
there has to be a faster way to level
dps queues being 8 minutes is actually a crime
You could if you know you’ll have two charges up for KB when you use them so you don’t waste another charge
a big dps loss if i dont get those 2 extra shivs in?
because im doing something horribly wrong im sure of it. 50% or so overall like 20% or less in ilvl
Shiv does not cap in single target
Please open the aura and read the custom options page. The Dance tick is when dance ends, not when you cast dance
Are you asking about the KB window?
You want to save shiv for KB. They line up very well
@lucid scroll no shivs outside of KB window
is wafting vs sophic devo a big difference?
Basically just pool while you wait for burst window and keep up dots
this is shiv timing
(matches ur kb windows)
quickly
yeah its r1 gnarlmythic, probably delayed a few secs for dmage amp on 3rd kb
in a KB window. Do I want to prioritize 4 combo pound plus envenoms
Over everything ?
Can’t remember the combo point bleed. Brain lag.
Rupture.
If I’m in KB and rupture is about to fall. Do I spend combo points on it or envenom
You keep rupture up
well
currently on smoldy and trying to decide if the dreamcarver mechanical or 2% stam is better
Rupture has a very long pandemic
You can easily fit in an Envenom, a Rupture and an Envenom after that
to both maintain the Envenom chain without dropping it and Rupture without dropping it
!dagger
You don't need to Rupture the same second it enters in pandemic
it just gives you leeway to do it whenever it's opportunistic to do so
thanks, guess I think im looking for opinions for prog
Ok envenom chain. Does that mean I can’t let envenom fall off at all
And just renew it at 1 sec.
Outside of KB you aim to do that as much as possible, but sometimes you have to let it reset

Ok
I'm playing mech, but rly doesnt matter
Do your best, you will have to let it fall off from time to time.
you can only die on that fight to soaking waves and not dodging in intermission
so the extra "cheat death" can probably save you from one more wave
thats fair, good point, ty
Is the non dance version of the build really far behind
yes
Fuck assassination must be the arcane spec of mages
It’s really punishing to miss windows.
Fair enough. I just lump it into one.
and a no KB build is even more dead
Splitting Kingbane and DTB was a mistake
just made kingbane mandatory even moreso than DTB was before
and they had to nerf dtb for that to even happen
so now kingsbane stands alone
Nah I like it
DM is just such a boring cd on it's own that the spec needs some extra button to keep it interesting, last season sepsis now KB
Beat sin playstyle in 3 years
im having way more fun playing KB than playing only DTB
Better than vendetta 
Imo if they ever remove kb they need to make caustic proc off bleeds as well
Sofo Vendetta Goat Spec
I really like how caustic and kb solved sins single target 2 min CD problem
Legit best iteration of the spec ever atm
Ive still got some minor gripes but they are extremely minor
Just wish balancing was slightly higher on sin in m+ specifically
Some CT, sudden demise, and scent buffs would be good
People untalenting from them when they really shouldnt
Agreed
I wouldn't say that's because they're undertuned/need buffs. Things just don't really live long enough. Partially how there's so many packs with low hp mobs, or how long our set up/ramp is. When some builds are much easier to play/manage/set up for not too much loss of damage, people are just going to play that most of the time. Small gain just isn't worth all the work.
There’s ways to play around that. Whispyr covered them in one of his AoE guides
yeah, but that's not exactly mindless compared to what a lot of other specs get
Sometimes, just gotta say “screw the ramp” and fire KB and go with it
it's a dot spec
it should have a ramp up
and if you say shadowcrash rn you are delusional
and some of those adjustments are talent changes, which was what was said
like dropping CT
shadowcrash is way too much, I wouldn't like that lol
good
I kinda like having to dot everything up, especially rupture
just wish it actually had some value
other than scent
Dont
I dunno, I don't really have fun maximizing KB.
I played sin all these years because it didnt have a complicated minigame to do every minute
so now I have to do this thing thats not that fun every minute to play the spec
so rework is a failure to me in that regard
it would be cool if kb was just an option, for ppl who dont like it. but if i had to pick between it being auto-lock vs being unusable i'm takin the former every time
I agree with KB. Feels like the entire spec is just kingsbane at this point and there's no wiggle room on that. There's a lot of other changes that were good, but kingsbane just overpowers everything else
I thought the spec revolves around shiv. You press shiv twice but kb only once??
holy fuck that's so true
You care about it like..twice as much
If my math is correct
I need a shiv flair
Snd is old hat
and then deathmark gets used even half as often as that
Dm makes me upset, the two weeks I pvp at the end of the season, when it gets cleansed, and for that reason it’s no longer my bff
Yeah... seems ridiculous how easy our big CD can just be removed. Haven't pvped too much this season, but I haven't really liked the changes in that regard so far.
I’ve gotten 1800 both seasons in DF for the appearance but it does get annoying
Don’t make me say it
Yeah there's another channel for that. I got my gripes with pvp too, but that's not for here.
I dare you
I just came back, what are we saying
That isn’t it
Frankly I’m just reading one thing
How dare you
nothing will ever be as skillful as shadowlands s3 ass pvp
Damn, another thing quake and I agree on. World probably ending soon
where you pressed sepsis shiv vendetta and just afk while your opponent dies instantly
how do you guys pug keys ? nobody applies to my keys and i cant get accepted to 23s at 484 3k io lol
ive been twiddling my thumbs in valdrakken for 2 days now lol
23s I’ve never been able to pug
Usually 22s cap the pugging adventures for me, never really delved beyond tho
If you can’t find anything, might just have to run your own key or find some friends to run keys with
Delves aren’t until the new expansion bozo
Mf mad because I said krill issue
They're doable, but you'll probably spend a long time looking for groups since too many people won't deviate from the "god comp" specs.


I keep that thang on me
Try 3 weeks 
what build are ppl running for Doti
is @slate crown around? Im really curious how to read this Mainly the numbers in the brackets
Damage dealt during kingsbane (not damage by kingsbane alone, it's all damage done during the window)
Number = Number of unique targets hit
Which is intended to give you context if you are cleaving
ahhhh ok cool
thanks
Ya just was confused about the brackets
and is the order bottom to top or top to bottom
Top is most recent, bottom is oldest
But
Can look at the dynamic group for the Grow setting
and you can flip it if you want
kk

who here prefers the cleve build or the hybrid build this wek?
@slate crown is that KB one in ur group bc i didnt see it in the one off one
I prefer the cleave build all the time
The one from Archer’s question?
I was going to try it out this week!
yeah
i just happed to see the discord and hadnt ever seen a WA for that and thought that seemed really neat
Should be called Damage Windows, and it is standalone in my profile
It’s also in my Group pack
Supports dance for sub and Kb for sin
could you link me your build?
Nothing for outlaw because I didn’t know of a window for them given their flat profile but maybe something for crack shot window could be fine, never dug into it further
its the cleave build, same as the one posted on wowhead, minus whatever utility changes I make sometimes
okay cool thank you!@
just keep in mind its not the best build for every situation, I just personally like it for the content level I usually do all the time
sigh imma have to get sub ready for Smolderon prog most likely... 😦
!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

Guys, with these nerfs sub overtook us as desired spec in raids?
It's not important for me, just enq as I saw some assa rogues I know went sub these last couple of weeks*
Or is it that sub gets better with gear?
Also, if I have 4+CP and all bleeds are up, do I envenom as soon as I can or do I wait for envenom buff to almost run out before I press another?
On fights with no exploitable damage phases we'll be overtaken by a lot of the other better specs
Shouldn't KB be decent on smolderon?
Yeah but afaik sub can get like full CDs every damage phase
Whereas we get KB in 1 and DM+KB in the next
If it's in the damage phase at all
what weakaura is this
Just post it, one of the gigabrains here won't be able to resist looking at some data
Go for it
ur opener is really really incorrect
so the channel doesnt get floated by msg for your log review
would recommend you read the wowhead guide, your opener is all over the place
some things to instantly fix for you though, 5p envenom before dm/kb window, have slice up before kb/dm window because ur doing it mid kb atm and use your thistle teas in ur kb windows (ur randomly using tea atm)
but 5.6m vs 8.5m seemed a bit wild for 10ilvls
Put your log into wow analyzer too
Gives you an idea of usage and up times
It’s not updated tho
does nick of time even drop - plz confirm, Im losing my sanity here
Don’t let them gaslight you it’s never existed
Its actually not an astronomically low chance of getting it in vault
spotted the 489 leech guy 😄
Assuming theres no extra hidden weighting to the vault rng (might be for tier, but not sure) it should be a higher chance of seeing it in vault than from a run
I got both my nick upgraded from champion farming the trinket, got the trinket on the 40th run or so
Obviously you can spam runs and you cant spam vault
No mine doesnt have leech 
Speed?
True and real
So Sub is now the go to spec for raid? And I guess outlaw for M+? Feels bad man, not to mention if we don’t have PI or Aug buff then yeah we fall behind
Bring the player not the spec
Play what's fun for you unless you're in a guild that forces the "meta"
Ok my guild just did the first few pulls of mythic Tindral last night, there is no way you can run branch and keep your sanity is there?

Didn’t think so
Thank god I have like 6 different rings and 2 necks so I can have an Ashes gear set and a Branch gear set 
how much better is outlaw for m+?
It’s played at the highest key levels plus I believe that Outlaw is more suited for M+ because of the Overall damage, yeah Sin is a huge one mob nuke to priority mobs but after that you would have to spend dots or just do Spatter off the one mobs
Plus Sin is very dependent on Stealth, manly to spread Garrote and Rupture which let’s just spam Fan without worrying about energy that much
Only if your name is eleem
That mf built diff tho
our spec would be so fun if they buffed singletarget dmg in tempest/bleed build
Yeah it would be so much fun, it’s sucks that in pugs everyone just focuses on Overall Damage, where there has been moments I been asked where is my damage lol like bruh the add died too fast and KB was half way there
I have had also many times where I nuke the big problem add that would have wiped our party and not to mention being able to silence all mobs at the beginning is so useful
So true
And ignore the ppl padding overall on smallies that dies in 10 sec instead of prio targets

on pull you might be able to pre use it at a smart spot and collect them weirdly, but besidse on pull you can get good value out of it
2nd use is on shield, boss is static, nothing is happening
3rd use also
4th might be a bit sketchy
nah you can bind it to kb 
Pretty sure that’s a loss innit
it was before the kb nerf iirc, its as close to neutral now as it gets I believe
Maybe for you, but I’m different
might be like 0.1% loss or something
that 50 dps gonna be a real diffrence in the fight 
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I DON'T WIPE AT 0.01%
I wipe at 80% 😌
I was under the impression we're talking wiping on raid bosses. you tricked me.

I made a huge mistake.
I met with friends.
now i'm sick.
Let this be a lesson to you. never meet with any other organism.
just had a chance at +25 EB and overtime with 20 sec
i meet with a friend and got the best plush ever
checkmate
proof?
I've played outlaw rogue a bit, how is assassination in comparison?
Painful
is assassination harder? o-o
No
is it worth learning for a new player?
Im struggling with my timings lol
I kinda want something medium-ish in difficulty
Sub’s harder to play imo
I run OL in dungeons personally
Most the guys here run sin
I raid sin
But I’m only running 22-24 keys so I’m not very competitive
I mean, I'd probably be running max +10 or something xD
Oh then run outlaw.. if you’re geared shits gonna be dying too quick to enjoy sin
But you can pretty much play what you like.. try each out see what feels better on your hands
Im not geared tho 👀
or what do u mean?
Like if you guys are blasting trash packs they aren’t going to live super long so your dmg won’t get much of a chance to ramp
I've tried outlaw a bit, feels a little overwhelming to keep track of everything xD
I'll try it out then, any weakaura or hud recommendation?

Whispyrs edit is solid
is there one that could work for both outlaw and sin?
You can get regular afenar or lux
afenar is the first one?
That’s whispyrs edit of Afenars class wa
You can just search afenar at wago.io if you want the general one with all 3 specs
sounds good! thank you
@strange python are you fuu's cousin
uhh no Idk who that is
so im an outlaw and i swapped to sin for raid today for funsies and even with my literal lack of mastery on my gear i killed it in single target which kinda just made me depressed
XD
so that was fun
tried dh and fuckin hated it, right back to sin 😎
is 489 ashes really 5k behind a 483 branch? seems crazy with how many top logs are running ashes
Depends on your load out I’m guessing… 489 ashes sims higher for me than a 483 branch
i guess because im already haste heavy
i really want to play ashes on tindral so i have one less thing to worry about cause i still dont have the branch movement down
483 branch is only behind my 483 ash by like .4-.5%
You'd have to have some funky stat distribution or doing something weird with sim for it to be 5k behind
So at most I’m missing out on like 500-700 dps
