ret in keys is pretty good
Playing human pally for WCM and just hoping you get every soul thorns so you can show off
okey ive been reading pretty much everywhere about this and i cant find anything good enough imo. And its about that prio in raid vs m+. I thougt for a long time that the key was to get alot mastery. Looking at murlok.io thats not the case. Its usualy around 65% and 20% haste and around 20% vers and 30-40% crit. But i wonder in raid whats the best stat prio there? Im doing rotation and everything right but im stuck at around 200k dps if everything goes as planned
you can bench 2.2 of me
Jesus
It’s whatever you sim best with the gear available to you.
what is murlok.io I hope its just gifs of Whispyr.
Stat weights change depending on your gear and mainly trinkets tbh. Best bet is to sim yourself to see either gear upg or what stat its leaning to in like gems (not stat weight sim)
wait is this all just pvp shit
No, there’s some M+ stuff
I really like assa and ive been struggeling with for some time to learn how to play it, but im starting to think i need to start getting gear so i can jump to outlaw
idk it says pvp guide
sim on raidbots you mean?
Ok 
Yes
Just use top gear and click on the trinkets and items that are potentially best for you
Too late bozo

do any of you guys that plays assasination play any of the other speccs too?
I played sub and sin
sin?
Sin = assassination
in SL yes, in DF no cus DF sub/outlaw play like absolute crap
how is that compare to outlaw and assa? take smolderon for expample. assa totaly sucks on that boss. everything is about the 2 cd´s. and with that many mecanics you really need to have a specc with more consistent dps
You play like crap 
assa doesnt suck on smolderon lol
sub is just OP as hell there cus dust is a flawed talent
assa is a 100% normal spec there like all others
well yeah sometimes i play crap i know when thats the case. its just about learning when to use the cd´s on diffrent bosses ofc
OL is funny on smold cause they just take 2 on use damage trinkets and alternate them on intermissions
I played assa on smoldy and topped my raid so it can't be that bad
sub does the same btw
how much dps did you do?
Sub can suck my ass
Smold you just send everythiing on cd always

242k
based
thats pretty good. im stuck atm at 200k. not on smolderon though
do you save deathmark for phase 2 after orbs?
I did a normal raid for 1 boss today and played sub and I decided that isn't for me
heroic splits 
I sent every cd on cd
Last time I killed a mythic boss as sub my guild fell apart so I'm using that as a scapegoat instead of all the other fucked up stuff that was happening in our guild.
real and based. sorry to hear that you played sub so poorly you broke a guild
Thanks

Goddamn
whats your stats priority?
Idk, I just sim every day
yeahh it just depends.. When I wear branch in ST my prio goes to haste, when I wear ashes it goes to mastery, m+ pings between crit and mastery but its like 800dps change so
I sent a sim just now for fun I can get .7% dps if i craft 2 items and change my gems
.7?! OP
Stop. Looking. At. Stat. Priority.
why? that gotta be importent
It's not as important as you think.
!stats
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.
the gif has the correct stat weights
no trolling
i did a sim a couple of days ago and it said 197k, i did 200k on first boss in mythic so that gotta mean i atleast know what im doing
its not that i want all the ppl stat prio im just curious. i want to improve
then you should be asking about your rotation you are executing probably not your stats
^ This
200k on first boss 
and i m+ im not happy with my dps. not at all
and in the end your damage comes down to rotation, did you get a mechanic, did you get a mechanic during KB? did adds live long enough to pad, did someone else pad harder? did you get PI? did you get aug buffs
i think u should focus on executing ur 1 min and 2 min burst exactly correct
and let sim worry about gear
First boss has adds we can burst down and a damage Amp phase, we should be doing way more than our Sim dps on gnarlroot
What Zar said. Execution is far more important than your gear. If you're not hitting your buttons properly, that's the reason why you're likely not performing.
I mean m+ comes down to just as many things plus, did you finish ramping your KB on one target or did it die before KB ended, are you spattering correctly are your bleeds up do you know when to send CDs or hold (harder to tell in pugs and not knowing their pulls)
m+ takes more planning and knowing what your situation is, its not the same every pull unless you are playing with a consistent group where a boss pull is literally scripted minus who gets mechanics (sometimes)
and sin m+ is a lot of tabbing and also knowing when to stop tabbing and doing some caustic damage and hoping adds live long enough for KB and/or DM to finish out
I wanna say a lot of poor M+ play is people just holding CDs too long for that "perfect pull" and missing a lot of uses because of it
depends but yes
one thougt ive had is in between the cd´s ive noticed i go under half energy pretty often so i spend time waiting on it to. and then i evenemon is not up all the time
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
you wont have 100% envenom time in raid and most certaintly not in m+
because when i do my cd rotaion i allways get on top of dps list again. but after second deathmark im stuck further down
You might not but I’m different
TLDR for the TLDR: if you have 4 piece, spam until 0 energy, and then pool until 90% energy.

It's okay to let env drop when you're pooling
Maybe I try pugging some mythic bosses this week
first 3 are pretty easy to pug
but still if sim says 200k dps. i should do changes on my gear
You should sim top gear and use the best stuff in your bags
You play is gonna matter more than your secondaries
and turn off windfury and pi and any other outside buffs you dont actually get because its just skewing your sim number if you're so stuck on that number
Hit some dummy’s and work on perfecting your opener and your 1 min KB window
whats the diffrence on your dps on KB with and without DM?
A lot
ah okey, mine too
Like 2x
like me
DM duplicates your weapon poisons, which makes KB ramp twice as much
Tony's non DM KBs are actually more than when he DMs its crazzy
i can come up to 2.2 with dm. and without not very often over 1m
Tony is just built different
yeah thats just how DM works with KB
Yeah that sounds about right.
but after that cds, my dps just drops. so it feels like the problem is in between cds
thats how a burst spec works
Yeah, because that's how it works
thats kinda what we do
Scana too fast
scana plays sub dont trust him
between cds we are just playing the envenom chain game
that i know but i should get back up again when its time to pop them
Yeah, because I'm old 

KB is also very rng. My nonDM KBs are between 850k and 2M, my DM KBs are between 1.7m and 4.5M. And yeah, we just do little damage outside of those, it's just how our build is.
True
Can someone tell me why the fuck Tindral is parrying/dodging sooo much on pull?
And before you are smart I'm not in front of him
Our CDs are insane and we're relatively weaker outside of them to compensate
he also plays with my heart
Tindral does a lot of spinning
hey I blasted smold on reclear

not that washed
this is a good emoji
Tindral loves to parry when he's spinning
Scana actually did keys with me yesterday
imagine volunteering yourself to m+
what a pal

Well if hes parrying you are infront of him 
But likely your tanks are turning him a lot more than they need to, but later with the shrooms they definitely need to turn him
That'd explain the starting Raal fight by Oxi 

well thanks for the advices, ill sim more and i think ill try to get better at pulling my energy in a good way. finding some way to use multilate and eveneom consistent
Just silly of blizzard to allow him to parry 
PARRY WARBREAKER
he sometimes does the sylv thing too which is kind of annoying
randomly turns to cast
Ye
smh my head
sub deserves to get parried more
backstab should be auto parried if not used from behind
do I send this to my dh

50% miss
id be down for that trade
imagine how much they'd have to buff it by to make that remotely acceptable
large kbs
instantly kill kings
This is on pull. Like nothing is happening when I'm running after him on pull
the lore demands it
swap talents if the boss isnt a boy
kill anduin
Realz better put Queensbane on the april fools patch notes
Marry @gusty mirage fuck @spice spire next question



marry oxi fr hes got the good food
What I’m saying
and you never have to see him because he works 80 hours a day
But you got the looks
It’s only like
Ten hour days
4 days a week these days bozo
Just took my life falling apart to advocate for myself damn
my health insurance is sending me in circles I blame you every time
you crazy you marry quake for sure
Dog I work for the uninsured
I don’t do insurance

Simp

oh my bad
can it be fuck fuck fuck instead or?

we can be hip and make it marry marry marry
Who’s the third person
stealthi
If I’m not the kill ur inting
we've covered this, we couldn't do that to George
George can go to the happy couple damn
Go on
im not happy with it. its about the same that i am doing so my rotation is okey. so next thing is gear
my stat prio

do we wear toxic thorn without toxic patch. I thought if you went blue silk it was like double blue silk
or some shit
Very personal to every character
it is, its 2 embellishment
Just use whatever sims highest
this is my highest
oh so you're saying sim yourslf and just trust the sim and don't feelycraft it cause you dont like it?
Damn that's crazy
wild
am I cooked or do you not have a head enchant on either
- you have imp ambush on still
Yup
no i dont. i dont got the myth pieace yet
Doesn't matter. You can use it as many times as you want.
It's not a consumable
aha, dident know that acctally.
quake you wanna make fun of me?
Alright time to do a quick simmy
also no gem sims if you care, with bark you prob dont gem mastery
its not about that, i just curious what other people have and think. i want to improve my dps thats all
There you go, this will probably take a very long time to sim
but that will tell you what to do
anticipation is killing me
gonna be a slow, painful death then
bless
I mean, I'm looking at the log of your kill and right off the bat...
when is that?
Your M Gnarlroot kill on Saturday.
Yeah pulling off the correct rotation definitely helps elevate your dps
prob not my best play night
I mean, that's your top log...
Damn the sim is actually pretty quick
There you go, found almost 10k dps for ya
woow
Change all gems to haste + vers, get head enchant, get primary stat gem, change weapon enchants to wafting devotion
Double wafting. That’s sick
and use tight spender instead of improved ambush
Zooming
You might probably want to change the ring enchants to haste as well
but I was sitting at 15.8m iterations out of 16m already so I couldn't fit em in
this was really fun to see. thanks alot
You still need to execute your rotation properly. Like not hitting double tea during your DM windows, utilizing Tea/Vanish properly to maximize your KB potential. Not overwriting your improved garrote after dancing.
i did that prob cos of i went to low on engery, to get back up over 150
You shouldn't be running out of energy during DM because you have four bleeds up
You don’t need to be over 150. Sanguine isn’t something to play around
And that too
isent it? 30% increased dps on bleeds
You’re also full sending during cds and chaining evenom outside of it
You don't play around Sanguine Blades

Read that and then go to whispyrs YouTube and watch all the newest vids
Maybe just all of them
And you’ll be better at assa for it
missed opportunity to use ass instead of assa

no need to make fun of it. im asking to learn so
He's not making fun of anyone
no it wasn't making fun of you sorry, I just call it ass and amuse me
Just making fun of the word assassination
I promise
okey mb then. np
Lmao gottem
Theres Whispyrs vids if you dont wanna search em up
OMG HES A WIZARD
true
BIG DPS HACK
no hes a rogue

thats a wierd sin build my dude
Yeh, most peeps probs don't care enough to change to IB
of F, thats sub
what channel am i in lmao
during our first volc kill I accidentally had spatter on lmfao
offtopic-2 channel
Krill issue tbh
Yeah that's good man, we're all here to learn
well thanks alot for the help guys, mabye ill write an update on how good the changed worked for me
We all start somewhere
changes*
Cev is right. You got this homie gl
you're gonna blast 
I'm just looking at other logs and you do the same things on other pulls. Just need to fix your fundamentals to how you play in CDs and should be fine.
and pray for no mechanics during KB
I pray I get mechanics during kb but I’m different
yeah, tbh some of the misstakes is prob just sloppy from my side. Not all ofc but some
I wish I can be like you when I grow up
tis alright ive played rogue since Cata and I still vanish too early sometimes and say "oh shit" and chill in vanish so KB still crits

can't make me
I played in Cataclysm but super casually
only started playing for realzkies in Antorus
Batman couldn’t get that one outta me
I was combat in cataclysm
I was parsing only purples on mythic on my first ever mythic tier. Good times :')
Swapped sin after daggers acquired and it’s never been diff
You start somewhere and then you take off
then mop came and we were BING CHILLING
soon you'll be parsing r1's only
And thank fuck too. If I had to play dragon soul combat one more time I’d have actually deadge
and teaching us how to play
True and real
Do you vannish after the improved garrote ends that you did after KB?
you want to vanish the last 3 seconds of KB
ahaaa.
is this boomer town or
sometimes I do it at 5 or 4 cause Im getting antsy
Lmaooo
Listen man I’m on mobile
bro I typed 5 and then 4 times trying to get to 3
Im just brain dead
I suck giga dick on mobile
I cant hit the right buttons
I'm the slowest mobile typer
But also yeah Zar is boomer as fuck
ruck ruck
Listen you
actual sin players are here
I doubt that I’ve seen some wildly slow typers
I havent played sin since nerf stuff
Me neither
with the vanish at the end of kb do we still env
Also autocorrect can suck one today
or is it a gain to rupture now
Still Env
Env
You only Rupture if it's in pandemic
but I rupture cause im built diff
You don't play around snapshot Rupture at all
I literally cant stop
im playing sin in alt raid
ive been using vannish totaly wrong then. Ive been aiming for another improved garrote. and ofc using env for crit
gm will not control me any longer 
You always want to Garrote once with Vanish for Improved Garrote if your garrote is not improved prior
So that's a good thing
yeah move it down a bit and youll be good.
But yeah you need to delay it until KB has 3s or less remaining
to take advantage of Master Assassin as well

another thing, rotation guides ive checked shows that i should use shiv before shadow dance. i dont i use it after shadow dance for crit.
Shiv is not a button you use for damage
You use it to buff the nature damage of other things
like Envenom and KB
Do you have Envenom up before you KB
yes, allways use it before
The reason you Shadow Dance together with KB is to maximize the overall damage of everything that you're doing. KB, Shiv, Env, DM, everything
Dance lasts only 6s
So if you Shiv before Dance, you'll still have the entire Dance window fit inside the Shiv window
But if you dance before you Shiv, that means that you get 1s less of Dance during KB

As well as making the garrote reapplication and stuff wonky
Just do yourself a favor and learn the recommended rotation
it was just a thougt i had and yes. i felt that i got enough time to use everything during shadow dance. i did know mabye i was wrong so thats why i asked
Yeah you just want to maximize overlapping of all possible cooldowns as much as possible
So you use Deathmark first which is the longest cd
and trinket before dm
Then Shiv, Dance, KB
Yeah and potion together with DM/KB
You just want to overlap everything in the world together for big deeps
and then feel like a wet noodle when everything ends
that's the way of the assassination
smiles
:)
thats mine?
But yeah learn the opener right because it's the same thing everytime. It doesn't change at all
What changes is how you play around the 4p and that's what the !pooling command is for that you saw previously
No, that's probably Whispyr's.
Just a showcase of what it should look like
Yeh, we press Deathmark and shiv before dance because we want to avoid wasting gcds in dance. Instant damage and big snapshots only like kb and garrote
Whisp would never use branch
vannish 13 sec after kb
???? I love branch

Well not quite
As long as it's less than 3s of Kingsbane
you're fine
If you use it when KB has 3.1s remaining, it's wasted
When will the sub be nerfed? When the assa was strong he was already nerfed 3 times
better to use at 2s than at 3.1s
That vanish might’ve not hit the second to last tick
It’s like 0.3 seconds late
But idk
that was also the beginning of the patch where they aggressively nerf classes and encounters
Looks fine
A lot of leeway with the vanish timing because of how kb ticks
no thats Whispyrs, sorry had to put flowers in a vase
that sounds like an innuendo that I don't understand
They will probably do balance after m+ season ends
why is it wasted then?
I also love putting flowers in vases
I’ll put my flowers in your vase bud
naw my bf brought home flowers and I had to put them in water
Master assassin is 3 sec
man got me sweating
3.1 > 3
ah ofc
You miss the tick
fair fair fair
That answers a question I had about why we don’t dance the dm for the damage boost…Ty
snapshotting this ain't doing much
well Ceverion and Zar i really appriciate your help and input, really. Most wow geeks would just sneeze at me. so thanks alot
but then it might be 1%
Yeh dancing the dm sounds good in theory cause you’re snapshotting the new garrote until you realize you’re just gonna cast a new garrote anyway
And then it’s like well
I’m gonna garrote regardless
No worries. Get your gear sorted, rotation checked out and you're blasting in no time!
I will for sure.

Makes sense thanks much
hit a target dummy a bit, it really helps when trying to get the rythm and muscle memory down
target dummy goodge
ye

yum gulag is that like goulash
Ok so how do we deal with mechanics that take us off target like smolderons rings ? I feel bad hitting kb and the running away
Cloak 

imagine not wasting cloak 15s into the fight
but yeah cloak or just try to run out fast and step back in fast to have minimal downtime on that if you dont have cloak up
it's mostly just planning
like on smoldy
you cloak during first intermissino
for uptime
during kb
then you don't have CDs for the next one so it's fine to run out
and you have to use gate anyways
then 3rd one the rings don't make you get off the boss
with lust
and dam
then 4th one your CDs come back after rings iirc
Wait….the smoldy rings have a consistent, repeating pattern for each intermission ?
Shmeeps also has secret tech on how to dodge all the tornados on smold
Heroic is random (?) still but mythic the rings for all intermissions are set patterns
is it cloak?
Oh no
I've heard that Shmeeps has a spreadsheet for every single ability and what defensive works on what
@keen spruce
Make sure to dm him whenever you have a question about that
putting Shmeeps on speed dial
Stares at smeeps …so this key info is hidden where ?

Not signing up for his onlyfans
Shmeeps secret smold tech
His brain was expanding
4000iq
Let me see if I can find it
duck planting like a treeee
How does he do it
cant find this gem on ah, they changed name or something on it?
sorry
crafted
its work order only unless you are JC
saw now
gigachad
you know he was hovering that cloak like a motherfucker
the second he clips a nado, it's cloaktime
idk if we're ever gonna rekill smold

lmao good one
ive tried smolderon mythic, its really hard.
Its not too bad tbh
I found it quite fun by the end of prog
🤮
and to get all the people to worry about where to send the swirls, that seems to be the biggest issue. atleast in the guild i raided with
We're way more pulls in on swift and i still dont feel like guaging my eyes out
Im jealous
Its def a fight of self responsibility
Im tired of the same people dying to first nadoes, and 2nd and then 2nd platform
when you are at smolderon do melee stay at boss with the swirls?
I think he means the ones that shoot nadoes
Ohh
we made a line on either side of the boss cause Ls are too hard and also range like to be in melee instead of in range so melee had to run out kekw
Oh man range got chewed the fuck out one night because of that
We kinda stand on the outer side of the boss/arena and ranged stand near old lava pools
We tried the two line strat and our smoll brains couldnt handle
But we kept having range come in to melee every single time
RL fucking lost his shit lol
Once we started the two line strat it was better for us but yeah
It's so annoying lmao
It helped that a hunter and mage and dragon started baiting in Africa so it was 3 less people in spots
so how bad is it to catalyst head instead of legs? my plan is to get legs crafted w toxified patch, and tack on thornwraps. 4/4 tier set
i read ideally you would catalyst legs and get the head piece crafted
Pretty much irrelevant
just like me

Guys whats the pandemic timings for Garrote and Rupture
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
Just want to know and what time left i need to re-apply
im bad at math
28
well 28
7.4?
8.4
so at 8 secs left i wanna refresh?
thats what im doing, im making a WA package
18 * 0.3
5.4
❤️
also there are packs out there or do you enjoy making your own . you can also modify existing packs
That one is in the command
I like making my own, i read bars much better than icons and i cant find one that suits me
ok have fun then!
I think you might be able to convert them from icon to bar. You can also explore some and just take the way it works if you like what one is doing and dont want to recreate the wheel
bar city
True
thats essentially what i did
theres a lot of bars still but some icons looks like
you were only half wrong
Big W
Any WA gurus about?
@slate crown
https://discord.com/channels/172440238717665280/1206748456752910406
Made a post in the weakauras discord
this probably does
it works, but just to be able to publish it
Yikes
oh no
ive been yikes'd
Cause it’s hooking into the frames of the bar
It doesn’t really give a shit what’s in the slot
Can i make it give a shit?
I would assume not
Think of a grid or a chess board
Chess board you got like e4
That’s a space on the board
You decide to put garrote, or a bishop, onto e4
But weakauras doesn’t know that there’s a bishop on e4
It’s attaching the glow to the actual space
Not whatever is inside that space
Yeah, Whispyr's correct on that
If there’s code that could read it it would be insanely jank I would think
Basically makes garrote and rupture glow for the pandemic windows, Shiv to glow before expiration, and Thistle Leaf Tea to glow when theres 6 secs left on kingsbane
Like if there’s a way to read the value of an action bar slot, you could set up a hashmap, read the abilities out, then assign the glow back to the corresponding frame that you saved off
The problem is I’d be pretty surprised if the things needed to do that are accessible
I'm guessing there is
And if someone has an action bar addon?
Forget it
Lmao
That would be a frame from an addon then
Tbh id assume not, just thinking about it, why is there so many Class WA packages going about like, Naowh and them lot
Like yours is elvui bar6 button4
If I don’t have elvui, it would need to read a whole different set of bars
If I had bartender, it would need another whole different set
Yeah exactly, so my thought was in the "custom options" section, to just have a button to click with "Assign" next to it and then just click the frame for each spell
but im assuming thatd be impossible
You could... Is it ideal? Eh...
For example in the M+ Automark weak aura they got all this shit
Yeah, definitely more of a @slate crown question, but pretty sure it's not going to work as you want it to
Yeah but that’s just reading out the party frames
fair enough, worth a shot Eh
true, you are right, my wishful thinking was to do the same but for frame assignments, oh well. Thanks for your input Whispyr!
Yeah, the automark is different because it's going over the nameplates and unitframes and those are universal. This one you'd have to input like ElvUI or BT or the general Blizz one
for a casual user, they might not be smarter enought to what the specific name of the bar + keybinding would be. And if they change it...
It’s an interesting problem
It does exist because the Blizz UI can do it with procs and stuff
Can you see the utility the WA brings tho, to allow you to not have to think about timings, just pay attention to glows
Yeah but they can do it because they know where abilities are placed because it’s storing keybinds
Yep
I can’t think of an addon that actually stores info
They all just hook into the frames themselves
Kind of insane that the game even lets you get close to it though
Like think about how crazy it is that we’re even entertaining the idea
Wow addons kinda dummy powerful
just imagine doing content without addons
Honestly the personal resource bar thing they added ain’t bad
Dot specs still kinda fucked with debuff tracking
But aside from that
It’s kinda not terrible
99% of it is no Problem
its really just mostly dot based specs + some bosses in mythic raids that need them
I just sat down am I still needed
I have to be honest with you, this isn't "utility" in my book.
This trains you to play wack-a-mole
and not to anticipate and learn what to press with the class and know what's coming up and how to dynamically react
It's one of the main reasons I also hate hekili
That said, I see your post over there, most of what I would say Whispyr and raincoat dog has already covered, I think I've looked into this for something else (pulling action info from frames) for dynamically placing a Keybind text onto an icon
and found it was not possible, but let me review what I looked at before
Custom options can have a string input field, and presumably you can re-create this same field using custom condition code and region data to create an external glow frame. That's the starting point, but I'd need to dig into available functions WeakAuras provides to do this. If there is a simple region function that literally takes the frame name as input, you could pull the custom options config value into this and have it work. But, custom options could not have a selector button
I like how you just refer to me as raincoat dog now
I'll try to be concise and keep each point short:
- You can instruct people to go and find their frames and enter it into the condition fields, which allows them to use the "Choose" button. I would advise against this because it is a maintenance nightmare (what if they move their buttons around because they're practicing different keybindings? and other problems).
- You can use a string in Custom Options if a function exists to glow external element in region data, I'd need to dive into available functions for that. This, however, has the problem of requiring people know how to find their frames, and expecting (or worse, instructing) them to use
/framestackto do so is all sorts of error prone. - There could be more you do by finding the right frame automatically but this assumes a ton of knowledge of other addon frame names (assuming they even name them) and is likely to be frowned down upon by the weakauras team. I won't add a conclusive answer on the WA discord because this is their terriority, they're likely to give you similar pushback.
Ive been playing Assa since S1 of DF, stopped playing for s3 and im jsut coming back, and im not terrible at it, just making things easier for me basically
But i see your point
i only use it for pandemic windows
Yeah, my point is mostly about distribution for public use
if it works for you because you know the ins-and-outs, then that's great
Right in that instance yes very fair point
My suggestion: make those bars glow when in pandemic windows if you want to make available for public consumption
What can I say you got a cutie in a raincoat in ur pfp am I going to pass up that opportunity?

i like this idea
Yeah making the weakauras themselves glow is very standard and much, much easier to manage and maintain, far safer
Also like, I've made a pack as well and the thought of going into every. Single. Aura. and specifying a frame name in addition to all the other settings would be maddening
Exactly why i proposed the question 😄
Just a ton to maintain and keep updated.
If there were a way to automatically detect which frames are which, then perhaps that would be something you could do, but then you've got decently complicated code in every aura which is bad for maintenance, and you should rather have a single, central aura which manages all the external glows at once so the code is centralized. This, again, makes that singular aura monstrously more complicated (because it now needs visibility on the status of all the other auras) for the tradeoff of making the individual ones more reasonable.
I've got more I can say but I'll cease the rant here.
yeah careful if you say more than 5 words you get memed on
(I almost died to a spiteful to type that)
It's ok, now I get to learn about external glow action functions for my own amusement as a result of this.
Less typing, more killing things
For me this would be huge…I need the keybind as reminder from time to time…so I have a few hacks but having WA icons pull defined keybinds would be awesome
I can see it being possible to grab it, but it would be very complicated.
Also, what if you have the same button bound twice? Now the code is confused as to which to show.
Krill issue
Obviously this all hinges on you looking at your action bars for procs / pandemic
But why are just regular weakuras that track those abilities not just as useful.
I’d make the argument it’s far better to have your brain associate an ability to a button, than have to read the button number and press it
A lot of people no longer even have their action bars showing
I’m a lover of progress bars, because you have a way of easily seeing / predicting when you should do something. For instance in your example of tea and shivs, I have a progress bar show up for kb, basically like the one Le made but my own. Purple tick means shiv, white tick means vanish and green tick means tea
Just from practice, I know my vanish is on the f key, shiv is on q and tea is on x

:halondrus:
Sin went from 3600 A- tier to now higher than outlaw?
Good tier list
Very based
Sin best rogue spec confirmed
mere mortals cannot begin to comprehend the power of color coded tier lists
sin is a beautiful specc but the best?kinda doubt
I mean its from subcreation
was subcreation never realiable at all?
the rule is:
if it's a tier list, it's not fucking relevant
Not sure you can read but page is right there 

no one who knows anything has ever made a tier list
tier lists are for clicks
not for useful statistics
i thought subcreation compiles data?
ill make a tierlist
a Monster Energy Tierlist that is
and if your favorite isnt Aussie lemonade, then you are just objectively wrong
All in piss tier, and water S tier
they all compile data, it's just that "compiling data" means just lumping everything together, removing all the stuff that actually matters, and then vomiting it out into something digestible like a tier list
there is water in them in so making them S tier, gotcha
The only real tier list is the apm tier list
It’s a tier list for this week’s affixes btw…
subcreations tier list in the past just looked at like the top 500 keys run, averaged the score, and then spit that out into the tier list
which like, okay
but then you had absolute clown shit happening
Proof that sin doesn't need restealth
like a spec that cleared a key 2 levels higher was lower
cause the average was lower
and 4 io points being the difference between A and D tier
cause that makes sense
well 4 can be quite big
id even say 4 is quite large
Accurate Tier list
true and real
you are a 5
Sin just needs spell reflect from warrior kit, then it won’t need poisons
no matter how you flip it, tier lists end up just being overly simplified metrics that remove all nuance from what's actually causing those specs to be higher or lower
might as well just press shuffle on it
reflecting stupid nerfs back at blizzard
smart
Only good thing about tier lists is the conversation happening while its being created
well, time to play survival, see you on hunter discord bois
I have to do trinket tier lists for wowhead every patch
and I hate it
same with bis lists
can't stand it
it's not useful
but I have to, because that's what people click on
fuck no
They nerf you and buff spriest, the only reason they thought you needed a nerf in first place 💀
I don't even care about the bis lists enough most of the time
I just slap the first piece I find at max ilvl into the slot
@vestal wren Send your T-List
survival is the chad spec anyway
having "bis" and "best in slot" means you show up higher on a google search, they're keywords that people search for
tier lists show up
they're easy to look at
people eat it up
they come back to the page
more clicks = more ads = more money
now everyone else goes "oh fuck, more money"
put them all into a bowl, shake it and pick a few of em
and they add tier lists and bis lists into everything
so now it's cluttered
so now they have to flood it with more bis and more tier list and more buzzwords
man i dont wanna know how those tier lists are done anymore.Ill do everything like i sued when i was young,test them myself
and it's just a vicious cycle of everyone trying to one up everyone else for more clicks
Mage alt actually ducks with my head, outlaw so simple compared to even fire
wanna start talking about capitalism :3
yeh I mean this is what we get for having a "free" internet
it's either user data, or ads
that's the payment
and no matter which it is
you clicking on a webpage means it's revenue
it's just a consequence of how the internet works
and then you get like wowmeta and noxxic and shit
actual AI generated garbage pages

that serve only to farm clueless people
they try their best to just flood their pages with SEO terms
and then pray that some poor fool clicks on their nonsense, sees shiny colors
and comes back over and over
~50% of search results on the internet are AI generated allready btw 🙂
🙂
🙂
ya
AI Deez
i wish
especially gaming news is so giga AI generated
it was an actual issue in the d4 wowhead news team
You know that tier list is wrong because a ret is over 3.9k and they say A tier not S, who in the Chrysler snorting lines off a gorillas ass came up with this
they started seeing d4 news posts from other pages
that just ripped the wording from their posts
cause it was AI generated
just reposting the same shit lmao
dystopian af
cant wait until wowhead replaces the guidewriter Whispyr with Waispyr
my job is fairly safe
wowhead/icyveins/method are respectable enough pages to hire actual experts
As in nobody else wants to step up to the plate?
nah
just in terms of not being AI replaced
if another person steps up and tries to take the slot then that's fine
if they educate better than I do, they should have the job
but the guides themselves are written by experts, and you can't AI generate an expert
at least not any time soon
plagiarizing news posts is one thing, but synthesizing information in a digestable manner
is very difficult
Nah, is small scale. Complex AI will never work the way we sci-fi it up.
its more like
we dont even have AI
its just a tech bro term that became mainstream for it
its not a self learning Programm or something like that, its litearlly just a slightly more advanced algorithm that puts things togheter
(by stealing them)
like, chat gpt doesnt know what it answers to somebody, its just a algorithm that "learned" "if somebody writes that sequence of words, i write this sequence"
Same here tbh
based
worst is when you look for something game related and encounter one of many sites that look exactly the same with way too much text and still not getting an answer off of that
better to just go to reddit or whatever
The twist is Whispyr has been an AI bot for years. He’s fooled us all.
Going to have to start communicating in CAPTCHAs just to hide from the bots
spaghetti
we got him
So we downed Smolderon yesterday and are now progressing TSwift. It looks like I will have to ST the fight. How good is Assa compared with Sub when only considering single target damage?
Most top players in logs are playing Sub, but I'm not sure about pure ST
if you're getting pi, around the same
if you aren't, slightly worse
cds line up nicely though
Thanks @balmy condor !
np
aussie lemonade?
you should do a tier list of all the tier lists
where you rank their innacuracies
and they are all in D tier
I don't think I'm physically able to without having a brain hemorrhage and bleeding out
i wanna know what this aussie lemonade is though, cause like, we don't have that
this one?
they don't sell that shit here
lol, i looked it up
whats the difference to some questions youre being asked?
the idea that I'm helping a real human that doesn't know any better helps me cope
thats a hard cope indeed
having to sift through actual shit and point out every inconsistency
would break my mental
what do you want the sin / sub hero tree theme to be
burst
sure
I don't wanna try and predict whatever it is past like high-level stuff
cause like the ones we've seen have been so wildly different I feel
surrender 2.0, its rogues turn
ye, fair. i'd imagine something along the lines of a burst cd / buff
probs night stalker or someshit back
shadow vials spec, new support rogue build
frostfire with the stack stuff is giga diffy to like the warrior stuff
now that i said it, they'll probably call the hero tree 'nightstalker'
som of the hero talents seemed fairly ... boring
all the trees they showed us yet can be summed up with:
1, just giga generic dmg amps stuff where you use smth on cd
i like it, analytical approach 
2, actual dogshit with the paladin/priest tree
and frostfire beeing the only tree that looks somewhat decent
hemo is sooooo 2014, its brain exsanguinate now
or brain sanguine blades for the 2024 zoomer
Sin players literally play the game to be afk after every builder
love pressing mutilate and waiting 20 seconds to press another button
assa has the same apm as sub
58
its a 1sec gcd spec
60is litearlly the hardcap possible
tbh what i hear is, the probability to see bigger changes to the system to make it more appealing
my biggest fear honestly is that they start to ignore the "normal" class/spec trees
i cant play it when im afk after every button !!!!
isn't it more like 55 vs. 60
bro who fucking cares, go back to outlaw so you can smash your face into your keyboard 300 times a second
ain't nobody ask for your opinion
i mentiond this on wowhead in the wishlist. I think the baseline tree needs to be good to make the hero talents work well
stop
im actually a sin enjoyer.
idk, lets not act as if thats any difference tbh, both can high and low roll on energy stuff and its sometimes more/less, so it doesnt make any difference
trench, its all fine. You can dislike assassination. But try to keep the vibe positive
@midnight mist le french, stop baiting
