Hey guys, hoping someone could help me I just need a simple WA that pops up the envenom icon so i can help chain my envenoms better wwith a timer, let me know if anyone has
Progress bar for Envenom. Full pack: https://wago.io/s2JVzLWHs I have posted several standalone versions of auras in t
WM is like impossible as sin

shit dmg on thorns
shit defensives for thorns
why can mages immune it all
Ye tree boss is awful as assa
obliderated the target
Wish they would obliterate me
just feint all thorns and hope they kill them fast enough

nah it doesnt work
they live longer than feint duration
is this the one you want for WM
or this one
they both read like they would work
I saw assa was pretty dominant earlier in 10.2; coming back to the game now. Sub seems the way to go now from logs. Accurate or no? How does assa feel in m+/raid?
so not great in either?
I’d say it’s worth playing in raid if you like it. But if you’re looking purely for throughput, Sub and Outlaw both outperform it in all scenarios
Thanks for the tip
I played a mix of assa and sub in 10.1, and sub always just seemed/felt better
I only really like Assa so I play Assa always. I flex outlaw for higher keys though
My brain just doesn’t function when I go sub so I don’t play it at all.
I have a huge lack of understanding of sub.
that was the joke
Hello all. Coming back from a longer break (6 years) and was wondering anyone here know a place to get a good listing what addons are required for doing high end mythic content on retail WoW? 🙂 going for sin rogue
well
DbM or bigwigs, whatever one you like more
and weakauras
are the 2 absolutely essential ones
I would go bigwigs, most high end raiders stopped using dbm
It's more configurable and better updated
i swear if somone now shows up and starts with either DBM or bigwigs beeing better i will kill them
MATE
I WAS LITEATLLY TYPING THAT
AND YOU DO IT
many thanks I had already forgot that only one is required. This curse app is also new and studying it as we speak. Many thanks.
Thanks guy. I really regret I quit years ago but now descided to come back after thinking about it some years. Its just bit frightening again specialy with the add-ons, this helped me a bit.Thanks. 🙂
BW better
can we reset bosses as assa ? Used to do it as mage (fireball > invi during travel time), tried with Poisoned Knife > Instant vanish but didn't work
just play human 
Another day spent in front of dummy switching between sin and sub to try and find out which one I like more
@pearl mauve why would you waste your vanish ?
never tried sub myself. Which you think have easier rotation?
I think you can do some big brained stuff with assa and dot management is always hard to most people. Even in ST you cant forget to reapply the dots.
Sub has a lot going on in burst windows, but at the end of the day its mostly using gloomblade into eviscerate with hadow technique and rupture sprinkled in.
So assassin maybe harder on planning level and sub on quick decision making?
Just my opinion
oh and assa has snapshotting so higher skill ceilling
yeah remember being sometimes stressed out when doing harder content as assa. Hmm might actually now try sub instead for the first time
I actually like the extra challenge. Especially in AoE tracking the dots. Feels rewarding when you do stuff right
might go with assa now that I talked about it lol
its a personal thing overall, you cant just say flat out "X is harder Y is more easy"
@raw moon do you have any bleed dot add-ons to track them?

@dapper moat
ty, checking them out!
I havent aside from basic stuff like snd but Im seeing some of those WAs look useful
Tindral begin today 
!up
Good luck
I'm only saying good luck because you don't have an OL pfp anymore
When
quake sending mental help :?

but i do tho
4 minutes
Gottem
@keen spruce when do you start tindral?
there i asked
one of my coworkers hit me with that today, she's literally half my age and i'll never recover from the blow
based rogue behavior
yeha but now nobody can stop you
oxi wouldve let it slide before anyway

Yeah but now it’s mod abuse 

why do start at such a weird time btw isnt it like between 10 am and 2pm in NA rn
It’s the weekend
Raiding earlier in the day = time to enjoy nightlife or hang out with fam the evening
I need to watch and learn
He’s too loose
steum is up
Self promo in chat 

Just ask @slate crown where that gets you 

Just ask him if he’s killed Tindrel on stream and keep asking and being disappointed he hasn’t on day one
Hi, complete rogue noob here, is it worth pressing garrote if not buffed by invis?
Does sap work like imprison where non stealthed people can walk past without getting in combat
It's true. look at me now I'm living out of a dumpster (SoD) and foraging for crumbs of entertainment (D3) while my achievements of the past fade to irrelevance (Aotc). I only did one hit of self promo and it ruined everything
Time to be a palworld streamer
He played outlaw for one try 
Its acutally a fun game
Is that the pokemon mmo
Ya
Is combat turn based
no

Is palworld actually good
It's Craftopia
but with legally distinct pokemon instead of animals and monsters like slimes
They literally just made the game they already made again
So it's kinda good yea
Interesting game
Ur so real for that big dog
Kinda sadge assa went backmidtable for m+, was looking forward at the start of season but meh.. playable atlast but after 26 is kinda meme
I guess I give it a go
hey, main feral giving a try to assa, was wondering, is haste working the same as feral ? Increase Energy regen and dot tick rates ?
oui
thx
was just doing some alt weekly keys, and i ran into no less than 4 different ass rogues playing no iron wire cooks
RIP
we dont need to los this pack, the rogue can garrote silence them
not playing that talent
HUH
you're right i guess i'm just too beta to play their chad builds
no but we got to p2 a few times
broke the shield like 3 times
very happy
with day 1 proggies
Sounds good 
I went from doing no bombs
to backing up bombs
to 1st bombs

but it kind of times out fine
with accelerated opener
KB ends, refresh rupture, go grab feather
why not 2 kills
i watched brothers sun this weekend and idk i feel like michelle yeoh was more threatening as an overbearing asian mom than as a martial arts expert
Hispanic mom scarier than all combined


ye the tswift timings for assa are 
!dagger
is the aoe rotation just keeping spatter up and fan envemoning?
No
Depends on your talents
Generally prio is
- keep crimson tempest up
- keep spatter up
- if talented into scent of blood, keep 5 ruptures up
- during cds, keep envenom up

that's real fast! nice progress 
ye, reaching p2 is not THAT hard
the hard part is reaching p2 with 20people
and maybe no CR used

I was only counting "p2" pulls as ones that we broke the shield lol
cuz sure you can get to the platform with 4 people
random p1 beam deaths will haunt you forever on this boss, dont worry man
or tanks fucking up the mushrooms
yeah we have very good tanks
but suspicious amounts of mushroom deaths
today
normally we just forget about our tanks and they never makes mistakes
or very few
yeah especially for the diagonal ones

i think
this will just be a lot of stupid p1 deaths
and p2 prog won't take too long
the 12 seeds and no doubles
makes it very ez
just getting clean p2 reps
will be the time sink
p3 looks very scary
funny enough, if you get past p2, p3 is not such a big problem anymore
I feel like I'm gonna die like 10 times flying with all the beams in p3
bribe of the off tank to do it
they literally have nothing else to do in p3
lol
Damn I'm going to be there next week (probably)
ASTRAL BREAK
ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
break astral
Wowee
ASTRAL BREAK
BLAZING SKY
THE HEAVENS FALL
That’s my favorite line
can't believe they nerfed let fly
God I hope they don’t make us do DF dungeons again for s4
rumor has it that it's all of the DF dungeons
think the rumor comes from the season name
if the raid is re-visited, it could be that dungeons are too
well, it would be the first time all 8 (9) were in the same rotation
so in my book its absolutely going to happen
why wouldnt you send off the expansion with the actual dungeons for the expansion 😄
It was the same in SL, wasn't it?
It would be kinda shit if it wasn't the DF8 tbh
Particularly since s1 didn't have us doing them all together
nerp, SL had the first set of different dungeons last I remember
no they did a bunch of different dungeons
mechagon karazhan tazzy iron docks and grimrail depot
Oh, that's right! Well, if they don't use any new dungeons I'd probably take a break. Cba doing once again the same thing for the whole season...
Whatever the dungeons are, please give us 10 instead of 8. Or even 12.
No ty. It doesn’t feel good to be 30 mins with insta rejects
8 better
whats the macro to cancel aura buffs?
/cancelaura
Ehm.. I don’t play it in Tyrannical w/ AP build and Haste, most mobs don’t live enough for two interrupts
DRH how did i get this debuff i thought it was only on the tank which was alive
second time its happened to me
It typically focuses the farthest person from the mob
wait, festering rip, sorry, was thinking of the cat dot
Only doing +20s right now, but sometimes the tank pulls the next pack before we finish the current one so no chance to go back into stealth, I'm a NE and was curious how much of a difference does shadowmeld make damage wise being able to go back into stealth mid pull?
none
even with Indiscriminate Carnage?
I see I would have expected stealth was more important since you can use multiple garrote and it applies to multiple enemies
Its more like this, getting restealth for you might increase your personal overall slightly but its not gonna make the key faster because the time you lost by not chaining the packs together is greater than the gain from your damage
and the gain is just not really there aswell
Whispyr (one of the assa theorycrafters) made a video about it if you want the absolute full details
like, you dont go from 0 dmg to giga dmg cus of stealth
Depends on what you mean by "chaining", but yes, the gain is also smaller than one would expect
!restealth
Long In-depth explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:
https://youtu.be/DoZDPFk_Zog
The TLDW (I understand, it's LONG):
- Garrote does roughly 14% of your damage overall in a key. This means from 100% improved garrote uptime to 0% improved garrote uptime, you would be losing 4.6% of your overall damage
- This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths
- You still have vanish and in 10.2, shadow dance, which gives you MANY options to get your stealth effects
- This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years
I'll take a look thank you
Anyone tried swapping lightweight shiv for doomblade?
Consdering all the bleed dmg increase you get at bottom of the tree, wouldnt it do more dmg than having 2 charges of shiv?
Not sure about that. The KB damage is really high and having +30% dmg for the full duration of it may be better than another bleed. 🤔
Nah, it's like >20k DPS less according to raidbot 
you realise that you need 2 charges of shiv to cover the entire KB duration right?
Yeah but the first ticks of kingsbane do a lot less than the last ticks. So second shiv has like double or triple the value of first shiv
I wonder if raid bots adjusts play to work with only 1 shiv.
If it uses the regular rotation of shiv then pop kingsbane that is wrong with only 1 charge
ofc it will
like
never think you are the first guy that thought about that
and also in his example there
doomblade just doesnt really do anything
a bit bonus dmg on mut that sometimes gives a stack of lethal dose
!dagger
i rly like beast
Demon seems insane for fyraak
Isn't humanoid only 3% nature dr? Or is the tooltip wrong? Its supposed to change but everytime I tried humanoid it was the exact same tooltip
no?
you know how hybrid dmg works right?

cause it's shadowflame so fire+shadow it doesnt reduce 
if you take reduced dmg from 1 half of it, it just means you take full dmg from the other half instead
yes
aka
you reduce shadow dmg by 6%?
cool, so the full dmg is just fire against you now
aka it doesnt change how much dmg you take
winning once again
But behind the scenes, hybrid elements are just 3 bowls of spaghetti in a trench coat
So
^
Sometimes it works, very often it doesn’t
I'm just gonna play it and check logs not like mechanical does anything now the cd is fixed
They had the same issue in Antorus with argus
Beast let’s you fall from insane heights which is really fun
That patch had some elemental stuff
And legit 0 of it worked until it got bug fixed
use beast as a rogue and play pandaren
half fall dmg 3x
Don’t have to check logs, can already tell you it doesn’t work
Someone DM’d me about it like a month ago

Just with beast and rogue you can survive this fall
When did they fix the CD?
this week
Even funnier I’ll give you a pop quiz, if you deal Shadowflame damage, and something buffs all fire damage, how much does it buff the Shadowflame damage
Does it buff it:
- not at all
- half
- fully
Ah see, that’s where they getcha
Cause when you’re dealing the damage, it should be half, but it’s full
And when you’re taking the damage it should be half, but it’s nothing


Rito plz 
Elemental damage could be such a cool concept this expansion
Could’ve leaned into it
And explored it
But nah
Jank city
Also they just be making shit up
“Shadowflame” was not a concept before 10.1
I thought it was more of a case by case basis, but i didnt look into it that much so i could be wrong
Blizz pls revert 3% nerf 
You’re right that it’s mostly case by case, but the cases tend to swing that way for whatever reason
? it was
warlocks used it
Since beacon was buffed by both assa 4p and sub shadow buffs
destro or demo lock, idk which one, did shadowflame dmg allready
demo
Did it do shadowflame damage or was it shadowflame flavor text
its wow tooltips
so the answer is
Yes
Fantastic
I wanna say warlocks got a shadowflame cone spell in cata?
Im hoping Blizzard buff sin in Aoe at least i realy loved the spec in M+ and its atm its getting way harder to get invites, while playing Outlaw its realy easy to be invited. Think they droped the ball with the rework made an awsome gameplay then they killed it.
assa quite literally has a higher key timed than outlaw though
few specs get invited in the game
assa is fine imo
ppl will just invite what they see on tierlists
this week is rough for rogues of all flavors cause no dispel
how could assassination be good
this random tier list with the fancy font says assa unplayable dogshit tier

C is pretty much the.... hold on uhhh.... *A, so that's one.. after A is B, so that's 2..... wait shit S tier though..... But S comes after A.... fuck... okay so A is 1, then B is 2... So C is 3, carry the S....." FOURTH????????? HOLY FUCK SPEC GOT DELETED ON GOD ON GOD FR
the only thing that's a shame is the community being giga dent brained every time m+ is the topic of conversation
the average IQ drops by 35-40 points instantly
like legit every time m+ mentioned
it's gonna devolve into "but X tier list said"
or "but this streamer said"
Bold of you to assume my IQ is high enough to lose that many points
HUH which key did sin time that law didnt
how does the tindral opener goes?
sub has the only 31 atal dazar
dead m+ spec btw can't cleave
gar rup amb snd dm
i lazy checked one of the funny tier sites
thanks
gotta crush it out as fast as possible or your kingsbane won't line up
ye i was losing last 1-2 ticks
so i was getting the worst of both worlds
not full normal opener
and still clipping 2nd kb

that's hot
excuse me, its called "swamp ass tier"
and we use accelerated because later it will aling better with roots?
roots and shield
yeh
2nd kb gets real spicy if you don't accelerate
and then it's not up for the shield
and it's doomed
last prison of the expansion
no
you will suffer like I am currently suffering
and you will like it
my experience rn
oh that'll be your experience throughout prog
enjoy it
it's going to be a wild ride
wait until you lose an entire night's worth of prog cause people don't update their WAs

eh
we didnt even use any wa yet
trying to place the first 2 sets of puddles right rn
lmao
it'll happen
when you start getting to intermission consistently
you're just going to absolutely tilt out of your mind
1st intermission 
it's like echo bombs
except it's half of your raid
instead of 4 people
and the orbs sometimes just ignore immune people

its okay they sometimes ignore the regular soakers too
I watched one fly right through one of our warlocks
lol
Spending 3k veiled crystals to get +20% cold dmg on my bracers great game
Private Auras be looking like a tough boss
I said could be such a cool concept
xD
yeah private auras need to go
it's fucking annoying
they seem to only exist to bother mythic raiders
+% nature damage my beloved
it's just an unnecessary extra step
because WAs will be developed to counter them regardless
yeah i mean if you make an unplayable mechanic
it solves absolutely nothing
then people will find a way to not play it
I want to the person who designed fyrakk to write an explanation of how they expected fyrakk mythic intermission to be played w/o a WA
i want the people designing mythic end bosses to be able to kill them themselves before releasing them
surely 20 shit flinging monkeys can coordinate this
prob
wdym p3 tindral during RWF was totally doable
5 abilities cast within 7 seconds
just do the mechanics bro
Blizz revert 3% assa nerf plz
I promise I won’t complain about anything anymore
Just make my spec stronger
Assa is unplayable compared to other rogues
Make Assa great again! 
damn
if you ever want to laugh, just go look at a tindral vod from RWF
and look at the boss timers
lmfao
Lmao
smells like fresh pasta
Freshly made
felt my bones shrivel up inside my chest on that one
incredibly painful
well done
Tyty
gud boss 
mass unstuck
I love the feeling of needing to throw up and boil myself alive when I read things
new hidden mythic mechanic
we all need to leave the group
and wait 1min to get booted from the raid
while dead
so we can release

zeross guild also stuck
brother

Grats, you hit XXX wipes, you failed, the emerald dream is doomed forever.
Imagine
you have to just wait
cause everyone gets stuck in combat

if anyone's alive tell them to jump off
rude
if there was a wipe limit on bosses the entire TW/KR region shard would collapse overnight
yep
now you just wait

you might have to disband group
and reform
very cool bug
you mean the 60 people in a 20 person raid-group-trench-coat?
the legendary
and
Jesus
their 237 on smolderon was impressive
If I had 966 pulls for thr whole raid
237 on smolderon makes me ALMOST want to not laugh at them
I might go insane
didn't you just start on tindral?
966 pulls for the whole raid are very possible my friend
lol
Shhhhh
p2 tindral before 5 second seeds was insane, think we managed to do it like 5 times before the nerfs came in
we managed it like
twice
and I started to think the boss was unkillable
ngl
i think we could've killed it like that just would've been an enormous pull counter
500+
under 200 for fyrakk 😎
thursday was a wonderful night
took us 200 pulls to even see p3

I'm taking a break after this boss dies
no shot I'm jumping right in to reclear after we kill
!track
our p3 pulls were 27% -35% -19 -29 -21 -33 -17- 26 -15 -16 -45 -28 -18 -1.3 - 0.8 - kill
the classico 45% wipe due to stupid

shouldnt even count as p3 smh
also that 1,3%
was extremely deep into p3
like so deep
would've been a kill if we had ok dps
me in p1 rn @subtle tundra
i love pilav
dont forget, STOP DAMAGE is the only reason assa was good on fyrakk
cause if p1 dmg mattered, sub would be strictly superior
idk if assa is still the play after the last nerf ngl
not my problem anymore!
TRUE
I heard it was an outlaw boss
(folyr got to lvl 70 yesterday and today had a weekly done)
bug abuser 
yes and
outlaw is very good on fyrakk
esp for prog
and if anyone disagrees sit on it and spin
it's not an outlaw boss. it's an SnD for 20 minutes before pull boss 
outlaw tier 👀
the sticking point in p2 are the adds
outlaw tier 
would it be be better to snd first and rupture after sp rupture doesn't drop off during KB?
its always an outlaw tier

nah
Ok so is tight spender really the play? I seem to do more damage with imp amb but sim higher with TS
Like energy isn’t an issue, my sims got me at like 28% haste, assuming mostly due to signet brand
so you are telling me you are noticing haste 
Well my energy rarely drops below 140
Improved ambush has felt better for me keeping Envenom chains through refreshing Rupture
Maybe I’m just bad though ngl
Skill issue at that point
i mean i have no idea how your energy rarely drops below 140
It just doesn’t, idk what to tell you. That’s what 28% haste does to a fucker?
Aug + wft doesn’t boost energy gen that much does it?
wft through dashing
but it's minor
but like do whatever you want
haste doesn't fucking matter
Yeah, sims got me running double haste runes n shizz so
tight spender is better
90% of people still don't play it
cause they're idiots
it is what it is
400 dps difference will never be noticeable
I’ll have to experiment with it more, it just has felt worse to play in my experience
shouldn't really feel like anything
the only thing that should change is your ambush generates 1 less cp
I’m not saying I’m right, but I just like the more CP from amb
ye
Does it just attribute to more sang uptime and that’s why its better and sims higher?
sure
it's not really that deep, the energy it saves is worth more than the couple cp ambush would give in a fight
I see, I will have to try it more honestly, I just denied it cause I liked the cp more.
It makes sense
I know it sims better 
I simmed jt on my character months ago but continued to run imp amb
Ok I wouldn’t say months, more like a month
I literally just switched to tight spender in raid last night. I was noticing myself running out of *energy and tea charges when I was Envenom chaining.
12/06/23 was the sim date to be exact
Could someone explain to me why the ambersoul trinket is used much more often than the branch? Is the main reason for this is ease of use? What do you prefer and why?
okay?
Mostly just movement heavy fights and ease of use
I only ever use Tea during CDs regardless of if I am running out of energy outside of CDs
so you just don't use 2 charges?
I use 2 Every DM window and 1 on every other normal KB window. I make sure to end fights with none left
Question: my current 2 trinkets are Ashes and Mirror. I typically pop one of them on pull before I start my rotation from stealth. Then the other one when it’s available.
Is there a better time to pop these trinkets? Like right before DM/KB? Or during the last 6 sec of KB?
Am I? 
well you're making a conscious decision to play incorrectly
so idk
sounds like trolling to me
I’m usually not wasting energy with them if thats what you mean, is it just bad use scenarios
I thought it was kinda big to use them in CDs for the mastery if you can help it
I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time!? 
Correct thing to do would be get a proc trinket n not two on use
you'd pop one of them with DM and the other on KB without dm, but realistically you should be farming a passive trinket cause double on use is gigashit
I’m rarely using tea for the mastery buff, mostly for energy regen
Yeah I want better trinkets.
it's a very minor min-max to use tea on the last 6 seconds of kingsbane
otherwise it's not worth using for mastery
like it's BARELY worth it on the end of kingsbane
Is the mastery just that minuscule?
Yeah I want sandglass
the mastery isn't really small, it's just the energy is really good
Would I benefit from a giga haste or mastery buff like during my KB window?
Mastery buff is nice since it buffs your kb window, but if you’re meaning which in use to use between ashes / mirror it’s ashes
I’ll have to double check my self but I don’t really know of a time that I so desperately needed energy outside of windows. Cause in windows I am just dumping out Envenoms as opposed to chaining
Ideally, we use 1 on use trinket and 1 passive trinket. Typically if you have 2 on use, alternate them with 1 on DM/KB and other on solo KB. But specifically with mirror, you could use it 10 seconds before DM/KB and then have both mirror buff and ashes buff for the last 10 seconds of DM/KB but I will call you a psycho.
outside of windows you should definitely be running low on energy if you're chaining
Yeah chaining outside of KB is when I use the most energy
I haven’t really been running out though, I’ll have to double check my logs by I’m usually pretty good on energy
would be the first assassination rogue to do that
I always have WFT, Aug and I have high haste if that makes that big of a difference
But I doubt it does
unless high haste means like 115%
So I’m starting to question my sanity
Do you have 120% haste? Cause I think you need over 100% haste to not run out of energy
Nah just around 30% usually since I got signet brand haste sims much much better
30% buffed not base
yeah that's not gonna do it
Signet brand is a sim bait if you have fast kills
Do you have tea macro'd into something?
I think I’m only around 22-24% haste ATM. would having at least 30% prevent me from running out of energy quickly during envenom chains?
it's only simbait if you're stupid enough to sim 5 minutes and then ignore the fact that you're killing it in 2
No
would make exactly 0 difference
It's not even better for me on 5 minutes lol
Is there a good way to see an energy chart on WcL?
You would be surprised the amount of people thsg have that problem

single target doomblade or dashing scoundrel?
table, resources, drop down on the top left
dashing by a mile
doomblade is OMEGA bad
that explains it
Yeah, select yourself and go to resources and drop down to, yeah what whispyr said
doomblade's purpose is to gatekeep bone spike and sepsis
if doomblade was a real talent then sepsis and bone spike would be perma played
Doomblade is +1 lethal dose stack
I mean I’m only like 458 but I have 4pc with about 32% crit, 22% haste, about 45% mastery with 2x hissing runes. And like 15-18% vers. I’m hoping to get mastery at least 50% and maybe crit 35% ish. Should I keep the verse or get more haste?
Kk thanks man
actual gif of me
It's been a while since I got value from that gif
what's more reocurrent in your dreams, BiS lists or stat weight questions?
But yeah, don't focus on stats for us. Just sim yourself.
This was my best nymue
neither because the moment they show up it's not a dream anymore, it's a nightmare

yeh looks reasonable
We like stats, great big balls of stats, and the balance of them is very minor and likely to change for like any reason depending on ilvl, enchants, trinkets, etc that are different for everyone.
I don’t feel like I had to use tea there for any reason
Should change the channel name to “Assassination - STATS ARENT REAL THEY CANT HURT YOU”
So I just send in CDs
unlucky
please no
then the bot stops working
and I get pinged
I sometimes send 2 on solo KBs if I pool badly
wait the bot checks for channel name
yes
I’m still pretty new to Assa so I’m just trying to learn here
jesus
what channel id
you think the discord apl supports that
@gusty mirage i have 69 haste 420 mastery should i use a 216 dagger or a 395 axe in my main hand and also should i use mark of the satyr on my neck or greater agility?
you know that's not how the bot works
you've seen the spreadsheet
hello?
?????????
Is this why we can't !vibe here?
that's above my paygrade, I'm only here to hit on stealthi and bully shmeeps
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Mast = Crit = Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs like Witherbark's Branch and Wafting Devotion can often de-value the stat in question. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

spreadsheet "assassination" -> code says "assassination" = id -> bot sends message to channel id
I'm a fan of stat weight simming
I'm just letting you know what happened the last time we changed the channel name

all the commands reverted to the global versions
unlucky
this is what !wa turned into

i mean that will definitely take you to some rogue weakauras
true
i wanted to make a WA that would play a clip of Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" whenever the conditions to KiR were met but I don't play that spec enough to do all that work

someone remind me to delete that
actually I'll do it now
we need a oxi command aswell
giving zac access to make commands was a mistake

on nymue mythic, do we kingsbane even though the shield is coming during the duration and just leave to go kill add?
Wow
Wtf
you hold it for the add
you guys can get as mad as you want, but adding commands to a channel just to troll is annoying as fuck
and hopefully young zac will learn not to do it again
But trolling in class discord is my reason d'etre. Without that I'm nothing.
@blazing jewel do you have a vid of your fyraak kill?
I remember when green names couldn't add commands
(they still aren't supposed to be able to)
(they do it anyway)
seems to be the case when I step up and actually enforce rules around here
ig we been on our villain arc since 9.2
Real
I personally do an accelerated opener so I can use my second Kb before shield comes up and then have DM shortly after add
But it’ll likely be up to what your group needs. The difference is minor from what I see on logs
ty guys
wdym
a good villian has buildup
any tips for branch on tindral?
I’ve seen some people pop it before DM on the accelerated opener to pick up before the first beam drops, the rest of them are pretty easy to use iirc
i legit outrun it every single time on pull
I’ve been using my ashes gearset for myth tswift though
So I can’t say much more than that
With confidence
ran a quick sim, says i can do 147k single target dps over the course of 6 mins, at only ilvl 458 with 4pc. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rffV17LezhpA5z2PMq9ZDT Based on this I should probably be using corrupting rage phial, along with mainting a group that has all the raid buffs (windfury, battle shout, etc.)
I’d prolly just take a min lookin at Lorrgs.io and just seeing when people are using branch, it may be better to early or late cast depending on what’s happening
mate you are 20 ilvl under what actually is good gear
At 458 you just wanna get your ilvl up before you worry about optimizing much
yeah i raelized that lol. i just boosted this toon a week ago
but man
your weapon has kingsbane as name

yeah i thought that was metal AF when it dropped during TW Ulduar
is there an advanced sim input for all weapon runes?
#tc-research message snag the weapon portion of this and slap it in an advanced sim
ty!
should be at the very bottom iirc
Hello, quick question is mastery still the most desirable 2nd stat atm?

thx
Long answer, no you should always sim your character to see what’s best for you, short lazy answer, mastery goo burr bleed,poison biiig
ah okay thanks
im struggling mid fight at the moment, burst i can compete with other but my damage falls off in the middle a bit more than normal trying out different things to change that 😅
I also think its a bit of a shame that damage types/spell schools are kind of a forgotten element of the game.
There is a lot of mechanics on it like Damage mitigation and damage amplification, but even effects who are like "+X% damage to Fire" many times end up just being a whitelist with preselected spells that its allowed to affect or not.
yeh
Your damage is going to fall off from your burst window because of how sin is just a burst class 
True chaos damage for exemple, is a spell who is capable of ignore most forms of mitigation because the damage calculation always use the lowest resistance to mitigate the damage ( so if you are immune to physical yo uget damage as magical attack, if you are immune to magic it gets taken as physical damage)
Best thing to help your damage over the course of the fight is having good energy / chain management
its also why, almost no spell is true chaos damage anymore =x
yeah i know, its just that other rogues with less gear sometimes can hold more damage, im probably screwing up energy and rotation
chaos bolt nowdays is actually prismatic (all magic schools except holy)
can we agree that dmg types just dont matter 90% of the time?
but at the same time, i also not sure if we should go back to something like classic-cata era where you had resistances and in some fights you had to use specific gears to meet some amount of elemental resistance to X to survive the fight
I mean it's not inherently good or bad
Yeah, bring back resist pots instead of flasks
They should delete parry since they deleted expertise
I don't remember what was the boss who did a cool thing where he summoned some elementals and they were immune to damage outside of specific elements
and you had to kill them before they reached the boss
Did enemies ever have damage resists? Or did blizzard at least know that would have been fucking dumb?
yeah firemage was unplayable in molten core
Lmao you couldn't play fire mage in classic
Damn
Oh shit I think this was argus
I was on the nature add
they never did something like "oh its a golem as such its immune to poison damage" or "its a fire elemental and so its immune to fire damage"
but Viscidus is..close
They did, elementals are immune to bleeds and poisons
Yeah
rock elementals as well
shred was still positional
it was bad times
First boss in BFD right now is an elemental, so you take off poison runes and flip to using daggers instead of bleeds from saber slash, and ignore envenom
they were? man i must have forgotten
tbf that was actually useful back in the day
the immune to bleed thing
cause of the debuff limits
but yeah, going to that point is bad
but i swear, i don't remember what was the boss but i know it was in legion
they made this game too ez, catering to casuals. smh my head
and that basically you separated the raid in positions according to their damage types to kill the enemies
back when the game was harder
smh my head
This was argus I think, he spawned mobs around the room
and each of them had vulnerabilities to damage types
I'm pretty sure mythic tindral casts more abilities in p1 than the entirety of molten core combined

a REAL MMO

with SOCIAL CONNENCTIONS
ngl that's the only nostalgia I miss
nowdays you just queue up for raids and thats it!!!!
servers felt like a home
laughs in raid logging
eh, that was cus back then things like social media didnt exist oxi
yeah, doing that is a cool way
but not "oh you can't deal damage" type of effects
Imagine 30% of your damage being tied to a 12 second debuff with limited globals as it was
or like 2 bosses, one is immune to physical, one is immune to magical, that one is also cool
not really
thats bullshit
cus you realise how dmg is spread in classes now?
lol
there is almost none "Pure phsyiscal" or "pure magical" class
like, how is assa supposed to work
when bleeds are physical
and poisons are magical
and thats for almost all classes in this game
stop with this weird "make dmg types matter" nonsese mate
they stopped it during frking classic cus it was stupid
so, think you might have missed the part where i mentioned that damage mitigation is always done following the lowest resistance
if you have an attack who deals physical+shadow for exemple
not reading that essay
i know that
its get taken like physical
It was fine on Argus cause the timer to kill stuff was pretty generous and the adds were a minor part of the fight. But yeah, a whole boss with that would be sus.
AND it was a normal/heroic only mechanic lol
like
on mythic where stuff matters? didnt exist
but i agree that in case of classes who deal like physical and magical separated it would be a problem
one who i didn't consider
the problem is that only 3 or 4 SPECS do only physical dmg type
fury/arms/outlaw/mm
everyone else does mixed dmg
to various degrees
its why the DH debuff is such a giant raid dps gain
Like we're constantly talking about how raid spots are too restrictive. Adding a boss that further restricts spots based on damage type would be pretty silly.
almost all classes gain something from it

that aswell
wft raidwide and for all shaman specs
its so weird that its not that way
ele forever shunned
also not a totem
make it a fucking aura
And we always talk about how unintuitive and difficult to understand some boss mechanics are. So if there was some under the hood shit that gave certain specs damage Amp to phys or magical parts of their kit for that fight, it would also be really silly.
having to replace your totem is so troll
I was going to say I think it would be cool if there was like, +% element damage enchants you could use as an alternative to +stats, but now that i think about it, that's basically just mastery enchants for 90% of classes
Shadowlands had this on beta
but they reworked it afterward
i can dig around to find it later
Don't worry about it
doing key rightnow
