it's just branch jail, I was coping myself I might get myth embersoul

dark token
#

Boots for sub bis

static glacier
dark token
#

Which is next week

#

Also I bet you could

static glacier
#

either way, some gaming gems / switching helm fixes it

dark token
#

What did you craft?

static glacier
#

boots + bracers + 2x ring

dark token
#

I have 2x ring, wrist, boots

#

Yeah

static glacier
#

highkey

dark token
#

I recrafted wrist and 1 ring to bsl

static glacier
#

the bis list for sub is fake

dark token
#

And equip 483 boots

static glacier
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
dark token
#

I mean those are the bis statted boots for sub

#

You could craft 486 boots that are worse but

#

Yeah

static glacier
#

not even crafting boots

dark token
#

Anyway just tossing that as an option

static glacier
#

you'd just run a mastery heavy item in a place where the list prioritises a non mastery stat

dark token
#

For sub?

static glacier
#

ye this is sub talk

dark token
#

You run mastery vers in every stat

#

If you can

#

There is no non mastery gear now except tier

static glacier
#

ah the list changed it

#

perhaps next time boots come around I'll go for it

dark token
#

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

static glacier
#

real talk

#

I swear the boe* helm is kinda good

dark token
#

For sub it's bis yes

#

Oh the boe one is very close as well

static glacier
#

moreso for law

#

but yeah

dark token
#

But crafted slightly better

static glacier
#

can just pay for socket 489

#

speaking of which time to see if socketed helm price's gone down. been waiting to buy it

dark token
#

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

static glacier
#

now I check the OL profile, seems to be needing a lot of haste

gaunt sigil
#

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%

static glacier
#

lowkey I think it might be signet brand's doing

#

that trinket inflates haste

gaunt sigil
#

Probably honestly

#

I bet if i dropped it, I’d want to drop a lot of haste

static glacier
#

ever simmed wafting vs sophic with / without it

gaunt sigil
#

I haven’t no

static glacier
#

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

gaunt sigil
#

I think it stacks just faster with haste but it’s crazy to seen the gains between haste specs and non haste specs

vast loom
#

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?

spice spire
vast loom
#

okay okay, what about like the flying timing? do they both prefer the same assignments there?

thorn fjord
#

Major reason for some is Acro

#

On that fight

spice spire
thorn fjord
subtle tundra
#

cause dmg in p1 == dmg in p3

spice spire
slate crown
#

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

subtle tundra
#

yea and damage in p1 also helps there

spice spire
#

Literally why guy played it instead of sub

subtle tundra
#

cause its not % based

#

its timer

spice spire
#

More damage does indeed equal more damage

subtle tundra
#

please dont make guy an argument here

#

cause he is delulu

spice spire
#

I didn’t say the absolute truth. I just stated the logic for the split

slate crown
#

Also idn peeposhrug I just literally took the string and made all the permutations and threw it at the robot and that's what I got

subtle tundra
#

i would've 100% played sub instead of assa, even before second nerf. just didnt want to play sub

spice spire
#

I just reran and 1/1/7 simmed 67 dps better

vast loom
#

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

subtle tundra
#

on fyrakk though, your argument is valid

#

but not on tindral

wicked valve
#

I have a question for all you ass mains; What transmog do yall slappon your daggers?

spice spire
#

I don’t think sub for tind is smoldy level

subtle tundra
#

and saying it isnt is pure cope

spice spire
#

Not in my heart bozo

vast loom
#

i might try out both tonight and see how it goes

spice spire

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.

Can’t rember the name

For tmog that is

past forum
#

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

royal lantern
#

im using some lvling daggers from SL all the time

#

from venthyr area

teal elk
#

electrowing dagger LFR appearance or the blue Kingslayers 😄

runic hinge
#

I’m using leggo daggers because I’m basic af

sullen quest
#

So its not time to pick up each of the 3 orbs individually, it is time between pickups as I assumed initially 🤔

balmy condor
#

Isn’t that the same thing

sullen quest
#

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

balmy condor
#

The second isn’t even physically possible

sullen quest
#

Yes that's why I assumed the former

pine dew
#

someone got tipps for council

sullen quest
#

But I got told that's wrong

balmy condor
sullen quest
#

The other person in the conversation

balmy condor
#

It’s written in plain English in the wowhead guide

sullen quest
#

Anyway, with the former the results make way more sense

balmy condor
spice spire
#

Me because I wasn’t reading SoCute

balmy condor
#

Idk

#

Two of the bosses are always stacked

spice spire
#

My bad SoCute

lean portal
bright turret
#

volunteer to be perma duck and then use that as an excuse

lean portal
#

take the dot spread talent (idk the name) and go big on pull

#

and then chill

#

jump around

sullen quest
#

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

balmy condor
#

6/0/0

sullen quest
#

but I was told 0 is impossible

balmy condor
#

Or 6/0/1

#

Idk maybe it is

spice spire
#

0 is impossible

slate crown
#

0 is impossible for first

spice spire
#

Like 0/0/0

sullen quest
#

right

spice spire
#

Which is what I read into

pine dew
#

@lean portal Would Ashes be better?

#

Thx

spice spire
#

But if I’d had an ounce of realization. 2/1/7 wouldn’t have been an option on the way I showed it

sullen quest
#

I'd be curious to see 6/1/0 or 6/1/1

lean portal
#

but maybe im wrong

balmy condor
#

Simming 6/0/0 is irrelevant anyway cause it’s just really fucking bad

spice spire
#

Don’t work and do things kids SoCute

lean portal
#

i just never consider ashes cause i have 489 branch

sullen quest
#

You think that's way worse than having it for like 75% of KB but not the last bit?

lean portal
#

not having it for the end of kb is a disaster yeah

#

im pretty sure

slate crown
#

The stack duration

#

Refreshes

sullen quest
#

I understand

balmy condor
sullen quest
#

That's what I thought

balmy condor
#

Not having it for the first half of Deathmark is awful

#

Not having it for the end of kb is even awfully

#

Just

sullen quest
#

That's basically 1/1/1 and 1/1/2

balmy condor
#

Don’t fucking do either

#

Lmao

how do i sim 1/tankmoved/never

sullen quest
lean portal
#

why dont you just do 1 1 7 ?

#

didnt read the start of the discussion but

balmy condor
#

I actually lowkey hate you guys

sullen quest
#

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

balmy condor
#

Why are we seeing balls

#

Just run the figure 7

sullen quest
#

I'm not!

lean portal
#

there are weakauras for balls

sullen quest
#

weakauras that make you see balls?

balmy condor
#

I don’t look at balls

lean portal
#

like 3 dots on your screen that disappear when you take balls

balmy condor
#

You just run the figure 7

lean portal
#

its not too great but it helps me a lot

balmy condor
#

Last one just hits you

sullen quest
#

yea the last one is fairly easy, the movement speed is predictable

balmy condor
#

If you can’t pick up orbs consistently the trinket is dead and you play ashes

spice spire
sullen quest
#

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?

lean portal
#

happens to me all the time

sullen quest
#

You're all acting like this is not a thing

visual prairie
#

if you use roman numerals run the figure upside down 50

royal lantern
sullen quest
spice spire
#

He’s not wrong

lean portal
spice spire
#

But Hmm

lean portal
#

and sometimes balls go in frontal or something well you just lose some dmg whatever

balmy condor
#

It’s complete muscle memory

#

You don’t have to look at anything

sullen quest
#

Yeah I'm not at that point yet

balmy condor
#

Skill issue

sullen quest
#

Yeah

spice spire
#

Toxic mf

sullen quest
#

It's fine

#

Whispyr is much more skilled than I am at touching balls

slate crown
#

Oh whispyr answered what I was typing so I’ll just say balls balls balls balls

spice spire
#

He’s joking around

#

Whispyr actually insanely nice lad

sullen quest
#

I have not yet touched as many balls in life

spice spire
#

God I wish I had

sullen quest
#

I'ts never too late

balmy condor
#

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

sullen quest
#

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

past forum
#

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

sullen quest
#

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

doesnt ambush give 1 more combo point assuming no crit?

sullen quest
runic hinge
#

Extra combo points with ambush tho

balmy condor
#

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

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

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

limber lion
#

you just pool

#

always finish at 4+

#

you never forcefully build to 5-6

proven carbon
#

even if i have a free ambush proc?

limber lion
#

Yes

proven carbon
#

it always feels bad to wait on the free ambush since im not spending energy

limber lion
#

Why does it feel bad

#

It's free CP after the finish

#

It's not going anywhere

proven carbon
#

more chance to proc amp poison?

#

for the envenom spend

#

or is that negligable

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?

runic hinge
#

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

past forum
#

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

Hello Guys

#

What do you prefer

#

everbloom trinket or Ashes trinket

#

i see lot of rogues play with Ashes on the last

storm forum
#

Ashes, cause everbloom wont drop for me

sour oasis
#

If u have the choice

storm forum
#

dracthyr_shrug 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

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?

past forum
#

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

it's not actually 8 dps

# spice vale can anyone help me figure out what im doing wrong on my rogue?

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.

spice spire

Dance windows were definitely biggest areas

I like to take sophic when it's within margin of error of wafting

it says +315 on each sword. so if you have both thats a 10% chance?

2 is 20% for 10% or 10 for 20, idk
Or mby even 20 for 20

It works out to about 1.7% of your damage

In a key or raid boss

KB really only benefits from poisons and envenoms

right

not bleeds

It benefits from bleeds through A) the energy those bleeds give you to cast other abilities, and B) through the Lethal Dose talent

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.

@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

sweet ridge
#

whats the most important part

#

i thought you pre shiv

#

and then once again during KB\

misty holly
#

The shiv at the end is more important than the one at the beginning

#

bc kingsbane damage ramps up as it ticks

sweet ridge
#

Guide just says shiv when expires

#

So is it no shiv KB shiv on expire

#

of first shiv

lucid scroll
#

no, 2 shivs for ur opener

#

2nd one is roughly halfway through yea, needs to be up for the last tick of kb

misty holly
#

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

sweet ridge

right at the end?

ill link a good weakaura for tracking ur timings in kb

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

glad tundra

its quite a significant jump, 30% increase over affy so worth mentioning

sweet ridge

According to the WA im not supposed to be in a shadow dance the whole time KB is up?

if you go by that logic PI goes to BM

both more value post nerf

yea, but if the Bm hasnt mentioned it then take it for urself

Thats what i thought

there has to be a faster way to level

shiv isnt used outside of KB right

i should just hold even if i overcap?

You keep rupture up

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

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

Ok envenom chain. Does that mean I can’t let envenom fall off at all

#

And just renew it at 1 sec.

Yes

During KB you maintain 100% uptime on Envenom

Can it fall

Outside of KB you aim to do that as much as possible, but sometimes you have to let it reset

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

Ok

you can only die on that fight to soaking waves and not dodging in intermission

thats not dance tho

that's KB

Fair enough. I just lump it into one.

woeful meteor

and a no KB build is even more dead

misty holly

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

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

runic hinge
main solar
#

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.

shy pecan
#

There’s ways to play around that. Whispyr covered them in one of his AoE guides

main solar
#

yeah, but that's not exactly mindless compared to what a lot of other specs get

shy pecan
#

Sometimes, just gotta say “screw the ramp” and fire KB and go with it

woeful meteor
#

it's a dot spec

#

it should have a ramp up

#

and if you say shadowcrash rn you are delusional

main solar

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

woeful meteor

I kinda like having to dot everything up, especially rupture

#

just wish it actually had some value

other than scent

dark token
misty holly
#

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

past forum
#

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

main solar
#

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

runic hinge
#

I thought the spec revolves around shiv. You press shiv twice but kb only once??

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

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

That mf built diff tho

our spec would be so fun if they buffed singletarget dmg in tempest/bleed build

is 489 ashes really 5k behind a 483 branch? seems crazy with how many top logs are running ashes

woeful cipher
#

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%

bright turret
#

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
