I would run AP shock everywhere every week below like 24-25

#

If u garrote garrote CT packs it is pretty big dmg with the proc even if they get 1shot

#

U can't do spatter cleave well until stuff lives ur full deathmark

#

I also try to offset my CDs from other DPS. For example in ataldazar I send only kingsbane first pack

#

Then I do deathmark in 2nd pack with colossus and rip 1m on the pack while the ret/bm with no CDs do 200k

keen spruce
#

yes

#

also if things are dying too fast then you're just not doing high enough keys

#

and if you're just doin weeklies then it does matter anyways

nimble zinc
dark token
#

Ye

#

Most first pulls in low keys I won't use my deathmark

#

Unless it's a really big mob like dht bear or throne of tides sentinel

#

All the DPS use their shit and then I have a full pack where they have nothing to blast

shut heart
#

I wanna start doing PvP but don’t know which modes are the best to learn. Suggestions?

#

Also how you get the talents next to your name lol

gusty mirage
#

In normal games people would use skirmishes to learn, but people are toxic and are just assholes to newer players. Could just grind solo shuffle, or do battlegrounds until you feel comfortable stepping into arena

shut heart
gusty mirage
shut heart
#

He told me to kms so yeah def toxic

gusty mirage
#

also if you have friends, could just play 2s

#

sounds about right

#

I had someone once tell me they're going to find me and fuck my dad right in front of me

#

that was definitely one of the most unique ones I've ever received lmao

shut heart
#

lol

gusty mirage
#

I think you're able to queue cross faction

shut heart
#

Oh really

gusty mirage
#

so you can play with the stinky alliance players

shut heart
#

Nice

#

At least we would have a balanced comp

#

One of each

#

Also I can’t play Ranked because my gear level is too low, how do I get better gear? Do I have to auction house or can I do world quests

#

does this mess with the overall at the end of a key?

shy pecan
#

Not that I know of

#

What’s up?

hard river
#

just wondering, was asked and i could not answer

shy pecan
#

The only thing that you can't do with that dynamic overall damage script is grab the damage breakdown

#

my overalls are almost always above 300k

#

anyway,arterial shock is very fun

#

me like

#

there are like some pulls,like DHT 1st pull into lust or Rise last pull b4 endboss

#

u send DM and all

#

when playing with ashes, do i hold it for a few seconds after casting KB or do i just macro it into KB?

#

also, first time assassination in reclear yesterday after 500 sub pulls on tindral and fyrakk, thank god. kingsbane

clever sapphire

keen spruce
#

Surely we’ll kill tindral now that it’s nerfed Tiredgers

clever sapphire
#

its freeeee

#

trust

#

there is a high chance you will even skip p2 stuff

#

atleast we would have, seeing how we phased her at like 44% or so usually, and she phases automatically at 40%

#

just remember shmeeps, you wont kill it unless its your worst pull so far in all your trys

keen spruce
#

No we save those for our rl. I think he’s been dead on every CE kill for like 5 seasons

steel ridge

steel ridge
#

so sub kinda feels weird, not doing anything for 60 seconds

clever sapphire
#

wait you hold cds monkahmm

steel ridge
#

ye

clever sapphire
#

actually i could see it happen, if half of the group didnt die to the first movement shit

steel ridge
#

i didnt use a second set in P1, just farmed auto attacks and blasted intermission

clever sapphire
#

well as assa i just wont send dm at like 74% probably 🤷‍♂️

steel ridge
#

since assassination doesnt need to hold and naturally lines with the intermission, its probably a good pick now

#

yeah you would hold like 20 seconds or something, which is fine

#

and then you can just use on cd

clever sapphire
#

also one thing im hella confused about, when do i use my pot

steel ridge
#

depends what your raid needs, we used pot in intermission, but only rogues

clever sapphire
#

cause they wanna bl at like 3:14 or some shit like that

steel ridge
#

cause we basically duo´d the shield

#

and the rest of the dps held for P2

clever sapphire
#

guess its holding for shield in that case

steel ridge
clever sapphire
#

aight so fyrakk is legit a shitshow where everyone does different shit, got it dracthyr_kek

steel ridge
#

well, nerfs did affect strats alot

#

depending on your comp you can do certains things or you cannot

clever sapphire
#

aight so its

steel ridge
#

its a whole lot of whack

#

we moved cds around alot during progress 😄

clever sapphire
#

only thing i hope is that im not on add duty, than i can jsut always send cooldowns on boss without much thinking

steel ridge
#

ye i only sent on boss

#

for colossus i only used normal dances, no blades

clever sapphire
#

surely i wont need to hold cds for them if a sub rogue didnt need to hold them

steel ridge
#

and sin would probably do the same, cause sin does alot more dmg outside of cds than sub does, especially on the small adds

#

caustic stonks

clever sapphire
#

well thinking about that is probably 1-2 raidnights away for me anyways

#

we didnt even get to shield on our first night on fyrakk dracthyr_kek

steel ridge
#

but slowly removed them

#

as everything got more stable

clever sapphire
#

aight thx for the tipps

steel ridge
#

our mage and windwalker blasted the big adds

#

dunno if that naturally lines or something, but overall damage on those was enough so not everyone had to commit

#

so we could put more pressure on the boss in P2, where basically nothing happens

frigid musk
dark token
#

Both on boss and adds

#

With current timing

#

Cause our intermission exactly like 2 mins rn so it's bad timing for sub

steel ridge
royal lantern
#

or hold a little bit if you want kingsbane/dm+kb for golems

#

depeends on the raid overall, but yeha, its not hard

dark token
dark token
clever sapphire
#

which part is the getting flamed part monkahmm

#

asking for a friend

royal lantern
#

if you are told to use cds for golems, you do it

#

lol

steel ridge
#

you should be glad to do it

#

imagine blasting a colossus with all the small adds stacked underneath

royal lantern
#

i mean the difference is

#

"will you use kb on fyrakk and dm+kb on fyrakk again and ignore golems mostly"

#

or

#

"hold them for 10sec and use on golem"

#

thats it dracthyr_kek

clever sapphire
#

lorrgs made fyrakk look like a complicated fight regarding cooldowns

#

good thing you guys can explain it so easily

steel ridge
#

lmao

#

apes blast

#

apes happy

clever sapphire
#

ye i just want this tier to be over

#

soooo bored of this season

royal lantern
#

mate

#

idk why, but group is hardstuck on p1 fyrakk rn

#

endless barrage of stupid deaths, no real Progress

#

boss just feels bad to Fight

clever sapphire
#

wait are you describing whats gonna happen to me tonight? monkahmm

#

wait i have the biggest brain idea, im gonna do magetower

royal lantern
#

yes

clever sapphire
royal lantern
#

tbf, i feel bad for Priests at this point

#

keep getting fucked by blizzards "no mobility is CLASS FANTASY!!!" bs

#

and then they make fights where Mobility is mandatory

#

and they just suffer or need a pocket evoker to carry them around

rotund oak
#

just have a shaman or a drood in the team man

#

for a roar or wrt

#

if priest had mobility they would be kinda busted

clever sapphire
#

problem is the phase where you have to move in p1

#

but you get insane dmg

#

and for priests thats legit the worst case scenario

#

they cant really heal much

#

or they gotta pray that nobody premoved and feck them

rotund oak
#

ah u mean fyrakk p1 right?

#

thought it was smoldie

clever sapphire
#

nah fyrakk p1

rotund oak
#

not that they dont need an evoker to carry them through world in flames KEK

quiet oar
#

Its like raszageth

steel ridge
#

and i thought tindral is the guild disbander

fallow canopy
royal lantern
#

that kind of boss 2x in a row is one

steel ridge
#

its a tilter for sure

royal lantern
#

and how bad the nerfs are from blizz side

#

the nerfs they do barely help

steel ridge
#

why? the nerfs were pretty substantial

royal lantern
#

why fyrakk hp nerf when blaze dmg is what kills most guilds during Progress right now as an example

steel ridge
#

cause they want you to still be gud just make the damage check less severe

#

and the corrupted seed nerf is huge for P3 prog

gusty mirage
#

that corrupted seed nerf

#

then couple it with the HP nerfs across the board

#

that boss is going to end up easier than heroic by the time they're done with it

clever sapphire
#

If they keep nerfing him they better do it before we hit 200 pulls

#

Tindral nerf came 1 week after we killed it

#

Madge

rare jackal
#

those latest tindral nerfs were sooooooo lame

#

all they do is fuck with my cd timers god damnit

woeful meteor
#

and it doesn't even fix the issues the guilds progging it still have KEKL

#

you just ensure they dont have to play the 7 min set

rare jackal
#

yeh

#

its cringe

#

just gonna play outlaw, fuck it

woeful meteor
#

unless you dont play feather

rare jackal

lmao

I wonder why their gm is the only one doing aoe xdd

ahaha

its too good

only draft yourself for the last two bosses
let the other rogue fly
put warlock on destro
play ungodly pad with double tornado in p1 and p2

never play it again

#

Why dont we use tempest in m+?

#

New to assa in m+ and just returned to the game

woeful meteor
#

sin AOE is to slow to compete with the more burst heavy classes so you dont rly go for it and play for prio dmg and cleave of that target with spatter

#

also post rework and with our current Tierset tempest is just a pretty low value button

is blessing of autumn good for assa?

How do you guys play counsil of dreams Raid boss encounter? Do you try to keep bleeds up with all 3 bosses or just concentrate the one that needs to get dont at that moment?

#

Hey guys, 3-4 weeks into PvE still new, primarily myth. Dumb question, it feels we are really struggling in myth? my ret alt seems to be doing tremendous more overall dps with much less effort...

#

are there some tricks for our myth?

bright turret
#

Sin isn't amazing at M+, but I wouldn't say it struggles at it

#

Outlaw is certainly better at it

#

But Outlaw is one of the top specs for it

#

The struggles of sin are if stuff dies too fast, you will feel/look bad

sinful holly
#

yeah that's surely true

#

but even when stuff doesn't die too fast, i still feel struggled purely from dps number stand point

bright turret
#

Could be a skill issue then. However, ret is very strong right now and way easier to play in M+

sinful holly
#

I mean when I paired with double ret, yeah, i got no dmg...

#

everything dead before our setup lol

bright turret
#

If you were gonna pick a key pusher, it'd be the ret

sinful holly
#

but even like with 1DH and 1Aug

#

so things won't die that fast

royal lantern
bright turret
#

Still can't believe ret got away with getting buffed

royal lantern
#

like, all that was bad on ret, is that they have a weird "you nneed to heavy focus on aoe or ST" split on the tree

#

and blizz just giga buffed them instead of trying to solve that

steel ridge
#

Ret is disgustingly easy to play

gusty mirage
#

can confirm

#

idk what the fuck I'm doing on ret

#

and I do okay

sinful holly
#

I mean like my last myth at 20 dawn, sin did only 170K dps at 482 ish and i felt i tried really hard. but i did the same with ret alt when i was on a call with 270 without orange weapon or dragon head trinket..

#

so i was wondering if i did something super stupid with my sin rogue

#

friends have been making fun of my prime char....

vestal wren
sinful holly
#

i mean i do play pve a lot less

#

but...

#

hurts...

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

the spec is strong even if played intuitively

gusty mirage
vestal wren
#

what is not the case with rogue, esp. not with sub

#

enjoy your below tank dps if you do so

gusty mirage
#

assa is a lot to juggle as well in aoe if you're not comfortable with the spec

sinful holly
#

our aoe takes some setup (also this week probably never able to re-stealth)

#

but even with all setup, the dmg seems still just alrigth?

gusty mirage
#

I'm assuming you're pugging as well

#

restealths aren't as important as people think they are, but also if your tank chain pulls poorly it's actually just pain

sinful holly
#

yeah some tanks do

#

but - - i mean as i said, even perfectly setup

#

i feel the aoe peaks only around 250-300k?

#

or am i doing something dumb

#

i am using the 'hybrid' build

gusty mirage
#

as long as you're keeping up bleeds, and keeping up caustic spatter in aoe you're pretty much doing everything you can

sinful holly
#

yeah

gusty mirage
#

just assassination is very uninspiring dps wise after the repeat nerfs

sinful holly
#

with garrote/rupture on multiple and CT on all, then just casustic spatter

#

even with KB on main target

#

i feel the aoe just peaks at 250-300

gusty mirage
#

the uninspiring aoe is also why you'll see a lot of assassination rogues dropping crimson tempest altogether

sinful holly
#

which seems to be quite low?

royal lantern
#

congratz, you now play the dps part of ret 80% correct

gusty mirage
#

final verdict before damage and just press everything that lights up

#

ggs

royal lantern
#

btw oxi, wanna play a short game

#

look at the templar hero tree for paladins

#

and take a shoot everytime you see the word "hammer"

sinful holly
#

PogO no offense, i just did a few packs with more than 1M dps with probably 3 btns on ret alt

#

kinda annoying that my sin dps is always lowest among friends in myth

#

the weekly myth data also seems to show we are worst 2 specs

#

just double checking with homies if i am doing anythign really wrong

gusty mirage
#

assa needs PI to be 10k dps worse than sub in ST

#

lmao

sinful holly
#

😂 wasn't trying to do sin in pve, but first few myth runs freinds dragged me to gave me all sin gear

#

so "_

royal lantern
#

my biggest problem is that blizz just says "we dont do balance patches anymore" after 2 months

#

like bruh

sinful holly
#

well the pvp no balance is more ... bruh

gusty mirage
#

if you're in a somewhat serious guild, how are you going to ask your RL to give you PI over a BM Hunter or UHDK just to do less damage than sub

#

it's less raid DPS

sinful holly
#

2ez don't worry they also balance pvp based on awc players, eseentially top0.1%

gusty mirage
#

they balance pvp?

#

could've fooled me KEKW

sinful holly
#

keeping nerfing sub rogue to a level 98% of sub players just cannot play

gusty mirage
#

makes sense

sinful holly
#

and that also helps to buff DH more ahha

gusty mirage
#

why not piss off the majority of your playerbase

sinful holly
#

to eliminate the only spec they are afarid of

gusty mirage
#

the balance team is kinda sus tbh

#

for all aspects of the game

#

it's wild

sinful holly
#

Yeah I think they are lack of visions

#

and wisdom...

#

It feels like a job they don't enjoy, just trying to shut the fuck up of biggest cryer with short term solutions

gusty mirage
#

after watching ret pally one shot people for over half of SL

#

and nothing being done about it for months

#

I lost interest in pvping lol

proven jasper
#

That was the last time i tried pvp and it basically ended my entire interest in it lmao

#

Yep

#

fun

gusty mirage
#

oh, they pressed wings and then divine toll

proven jasper
#

Outplayed

gusty mirage
#

and I went from 100% health to death in 1.5s

#

they're just the better player ig

#

esp when they can blinding light and not break it Okay

#

cause all their damage is holy

proven jasper
#

Lets not forget the absurd amounts of tankiness and cc behind that also

#

Well balanced

gusty mirage
#

oh you remember when fury warrior was unkillable in 2s?

#

fury/enhance

#

was just unkillable lmfao

gusty mirage
#

fury and enhance were outhealing healers in arena

#

10/10 would rather play in traffic

proven jasper
#

Dw we got leeching poison

#

so tanky

past forum
#

I used to pvp a lot, now I just pick a spec to play in shuffle so I can get the vicious mount.

proven jasper
#

Beginning of sl i did play alot of lock pvp

#

lock pvp is fun

sinful holly
#

rogue pvp is always the no.1 attraction to me in wow:)

#

i don't enjoy playing lock that much somehow

royal lantern
#

people play pvp?

runic hinge
#

I get 1800 for the mog and then quit for my sanity

proven jasper
#

i dont even do that anymore

royal lantern
#

isnt soloq queue times like 2hours at this point

proven jasper
#

Hell no

#

No clue tbh but it wouldnt surprise me if it was longer

sinful holly
#

depends on spec

#

i think overall solo queue tries to avoid same spec in same lobby

#

not confirmed but from millions of games and queues i think that's real

#

for me some less popular dps spec gets much quicker queues

#

like my DH alt lobby queue is always super long and ends up with double DH in lots of lobbies (roughly 2400 MMR)

charred dome
#

does shadowmeld not improve garrote damage?

spice spire
#

No

pseudo elm
#

I know you shouldent compare stats to much but with this diffrence it makes me curious. When i look at murlok.io sub rogues got +100% mastery. I got around 55% and i did a sim on raidbots. 232k on sub single target build and the best gear was the same gear as i have on assasination. So im just wondering why most sub rogues have that high mastery then

clever sapphire
#

you running branch?

pseudo elm
#

yes

clever sapphire
#

they are running ashes

#

most likely

proven jasper
#

i mean most sub rogues have like 100% mastery naturally also

#

Just from gear

grizzled jay
#

Does Sub still have its baseline 50% mastery?

proven jasper
#

Yes think so

grizzled jay
#

Well then yeah that's why

#

Sub starts with 50% Mastery, highest in the game I believe

proven jasper
#

Yep

grizzled jay
#

Assassination starts at like... 10-15%?

proven jasper
#

You stack mas>vers i beleive

#

on sub

#

yeah like 15%

grizzled jay
#

Combat at 20%

pseudo elm
#

It just seems to be really really high

proven jasper
#

Sub really really loves mastery

#

Also sub just sims alot higher than assa

#

naturally also

clever sapphire
#

but to answer your question without these weird takes

#

running branch will incentivise your sim to not run as much mastery gear because branch gives you all the mastery already

#

so by running branch you will automatically have less mastery gear equipped

pseudo elm
#

And if my sim were on 232k lets say that i have another 50% mastery then. Would it really improve that much on dps? Compared to my 55%

#

okey

proven jasper
#

I mean the answer really is always sim it but probably

pseudo elm
#

And ashes is a better option for sub spec then branch cos of the cd´s?

runic hinge
#

Ashes is better because it’s on demand and front loaded and branch takes time to gather orbs so it can be a little funky to use

#

For sub

clever sapphire
#

because i had blue silken lining and a loooot of mastery

runic hinge
#

Also sub doesn’t care about haste either so the haste loss post use doesn’t matter to them as much

clever sapphire
#

but fun fact people in sub channel will probably give a better answer to sub questions

#

maybe fuu will even see it, not sure if he always checks assa channel

gaunt moat
#

does anyone have any WA that shows him cloak of shadow is active?

#

(except the basic WAs pack obv)

clever sapphire
#

nah but just take any spell out of your wa, copy it, change the spell from x spell to cloak

#

and bam you got your cloak wa

gaunt moat
#

yeah i could make it, but i thought maybe someone has something that looks good

My sim says branch, but i got branch myth and ashes in hero so mabye thats why

just foind that guy from a few weeks back who said you dont need WA and anything you can do with a WA you can do without. He might have a good suggestion for you

its a different story about if you should

we have 9 people assigned

its fixed spot

clever sapphire
#

should all 20 be assigned in the note?

#

using liquid wa

dark token
#

we use northern sky idk

clever sapphire
#

ah

royal lantern

same

#

northern sky is comfy

#

has hard assinged places for everyone

#

always the same 1-2 spots

dark token
#

its not a hard assign but ur always same side in the same 1-3 spots

#

all 20 people

#

healers are unassigned

clever sapphire
#

well liquid has you assign 9 people around the boss, and rest should get assigned randomly

royal lantern
#

we use the full liquid pack except for fyrakk intermission, northern sky there

#

works better imo

clever sapphire
#

aight gonna suggest it maybe

dark token
#

ye idk northern sky worked flawlessly for us since the change

#

not a single WA problem

pseudo elm
#

The talent Doom blade, is it not worth using? lets say instead of venom rush

clever sapphire
#

nah

pseudo elm
#

Okey, i dont think ive seen any taleny build with doom blade. And never used it myself, mabye it dosent increase the damage that much.

clever sapphire
#

i mean the easiest answer, if it would e good it would have been found out already

#

but you can always just sim it and see for yourself

pseudo elm
#

Prob yes. And what about twist the knife? To help to be above 50% energy and keeping env buff up, Prob same answer there i supose?

clever sapphire
#

being above 50% energy doesnt matter really, we dont play around sanguine blades

pseudo elm
#

I know that, ive read that with env you should wait untill its needed again., so thats why i thougt, if possible to keep both up why not

#

but with combo points you should not wait ofc.

#

And some dps guides on youtube is saying to keep above 50% outside kb/dm window. So just some thougts and i were curious.

gusty mirage
#

just an undertuned talent unfortunately

royal lantern
#

(im gonna be dissapointed)

#

cant wait for the incomming sepsis based tierset 🙂

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

and other things i tell myself at night

thorn fjord
#

sepsis was cool

#

CT a bitch

gusty mirage
#

they need to either remove doomblade

#

or buff it

#

so that sepsis/sbs are an option

royal lantern
#

remove tbh

replace it with a utility/deffensive talent

#

its so boring

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

no ty

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

no more utility/defensives in spec trees

#

that's a horrible fucking idea

#

the fact that there's any damage in the class tree is a disaster

royal lantern
#

either remove it from all spec trees or give assa some

#

not this half half

#

where assa is baseline kit

gusty mirage
#

agreed

royal lantern
#

and outlaw/sub are immortal

spec trees are where the damage should be

#

class trees are where utility/defensive options should be

thorn fjord
#

that does make sense

gusty mirage
#

considering they pruned all of the baseline shit to make these trees it makes no sense for what was once baseline to be scattered across class and spec trees

I wouldn’t mind like dust being a utility CDR for all and giving all of us % vers as a class tree thing keking

I play rogue because I suck at everything else

bronze pike

So hero talents extended from one diamond to 3

and then you get 2 of the passive talents nobody cared about into the class tree, 1 spec gets the active one into the spec tree and they pat themself on the shoulders for making a EvErGrEeN SyStEm

Guys, with aertial shock build, do you still save shivs for the KB duration. Thinking to try this build now as with cleave, I serm to drop on m+ dps quite alot. Many thankd 😃

strange python
#

Old info is still info, was curious where many months of patches went and info. If info just disappears it leads to questions hence why i asked @spice surge whether relevant or not

oak tangle
#

that info gets incorporated into the wowhead guide i'd imagine, and seeing as it's no longer a recent change is it necessary to have a pin telling you that something's changed when really it's more likely everything has changed so the simple answer is... read the guide

#

also a 20% nerf to kingsbane has zero effect on the gameplay, so no need to know that it was ever 20% more

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean nothing changed

#

the only thing that changed was +0.2% from playing tight spender

#

that was in the pins for about a month

#

and then went into the wowhead guide

#

and gg

#

idk how much longer you're expecting info to stay in the pins

prisma monolithBOT

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

Is assas actually giga bad in m+? Or is it overblown, like the wow community usually does, considering gearing my rogue as a m+ alt

runic hinge
#

Then its a survivability issue not a damage one

high jetty
#

Eh, I mean I’ll probably go to 3200ish.

#

Oh interesting. Dam is competitive. But just a bit squishy. TIL

runic hinge
#

Compared to the other rogue specs for sure

keen spruce
#

It’s more that damage doesn’t really matter

#

Assas had good prio burst but overall generally not gonna be as high as pirate. But yeah the limiter is the survivability. Not a vers stacking spec, no restless blades for evasion, and no 5% stam or 4% vers nodes

high jetty
#

I just have 0 desire to play a pirate spec. Used to play combat way back… but now? Nah

#

Sub is cool, I’ve just always preferred assas

misty holly
#

Outlaw was tolerable in Legion, though I still liked combat better - but they just made it worse with each expansion changes since then. 🤮

keen spruce
#

I just switched to pirate to push for title. Pretty fun iteration rn. I’m too burned out to go learn sub tho

I also just don’t want another giga fast paced melee alt. I have a fury warrior. I don’t need a fury warrior with a pistol

tepid hornet

is it for raid fights with adds worth to get indescriminate and hold vanish just for add spawn to dot them

proven jasper
#

nah you probably just kb spatter burst

dark token

IC is only worth on fights with consistent 2t+ where stuff doesn't die

#

Aka council this tier

tepid hornet
#

so not for adds

keen spruce
#

You just give up too much

dark token
#

No, assa no longer hits adds except for spatter and envenom cleave

keen spruce
#

And if you’re holding vanish for adds then you’re kind of dicking your cooldowns

tepid hornet
#

so on the adds i dont try to dot i just fan of knives while theyre alive and focus on boss

keen spruce
#

Yeah

#

You don’t even really have to fan but technically you should what 3+? 4+?

#

Something like that

#

Just just spatter do the heavy lifting and focus on ST

tepid hornet
#

so i should take spatter on all fight's that arent pure ST?

#

not internal bleed

#

yea

haste affects tick rate?

outer cairn
#

Send it during CDs, don’t clip outside without capping on energy is the general rule

tepid hornet
#

no i mean my envenom should be my most dmg on a fight?

outer cairn
#

No

#

Depends on length of fight and stuff but usually it’s gonna be KB or probably even a bleed actually

#

Call an expert witness though. I’m just suffering through Fyrak prog finally

balmy condor
#

kinda depends what view you're looking at

#

like you look at this

#

is envenom the highest?

#

what about now

still creek
#

How is assa timing wise on TIndral when doing first feathers every platform? usually play sub but thinking bout mixing it up

royal lantern
#

you do fast Opener and then its just send on cd for the rest of the fight

tepid hornet
#

they need to buff assass

balmy condor
#

not really

tepid hornet
#

xd

keen spruce
#

you can use a normal setup or a fast one at the start of p2. I like using a slow one so i can grab a seed before my 2nd KB without delaying it too much. but I don't think it matters.

otherwise you're kinda just rippin on CD

neither

i was using simulationcraft

balmy condor

you're using the standalone program?

ripe carbon
#

yea i was

balmy condor
#

no wonder your questions sounded like they came out of 2017

ripe carbon
#

i am from that time, i only just started playing again

balmy condor
#

makes sense then yeh

ripe carbon
#

cept used shadowcraft and stuff

balmy condor
#

everything is raidbots

#

nothing else exists

ripe carbon
#

simc is the same thing raidbots uses?

balmy condor
#

raidbots is a cloud server user interface with simulationcraft as the engine

#

you could technically run all the stuff raidbots does locally on your system through the standalone client

#

but you'd have to do it through CLI

ripe carbon
#

ya its faster and easier raidbots

balmy condor
#

cause the GUI sucks and hasn't been updated in half a decade

#

and raidbots has like

#

35 features

#

that the actual simc couldn't dream of

#

so

#

if you're quick enough with CLI scripts to automate stuff that raidbots does automatically and have a threadripper in your rig

#

might be able to be half as efficient as raidbots

#

but I don't particularly recommend doing any of that

ripe carbon
#

i think my dps being low is just a skill issue and not my stats

balmy condor
#

usually a good assumption

ripe carbon
#

i suck at using branch properly and i suck at using cd's in trash pulls

#

but these are like +11 to +16s

#

the trash dies so quick but i dont like doing over +16's pugging

balmy condor
#

#

even in 20's things die too quick

keen spruce

even in 25s things die too quick

balmy condor

gear scaling this patch is just

#

ridiculous

ripe carbon
#

well im 476 ilvl. for m+ what stats would u run, with a branch? if i cant use brnahc properly doing the pickup and wait for lasat one right, will branch not be as good as other trinks?

#

should i stay using branch or switch to another trink?

balmy condor
#

if you have branch, you build everything except mastery

#

if you want to not use branch you'd use ashes

#

if you use ashes you'd build everything including mastery

ripe carbon
#

is that true for m+ for every spec assass?

#

im using hybrid spec for m+ atm

balmy condor
#

yes

#

that's just an assassination thing

#

the builds play pretty much identically as well rotationally

#

you're just shuffling damage either into or out of kingsbane/bleeds

#

the arterial build moves it out of kingsbane/caustic, into bleeds

#

cleave moves it out of bleeds and into kingsbane/caustic

#

hybrid is some goop in the middle

ripe carbon
#

dungeonslice on raidbots is showing my neck thgat has high vers/low crit, is simming lower then neck that has high mastery/low haste?

balmy condor
#

makes sense to me

ripe carbon
#

but i thought mastery u dont want with branch?

balmy condor
#

yeh but vers kinda sucks too

#

so it's a battle of "is the DR from the branch worse than a bad stat"

#

if something like a neck or ring

#

which has 0 main stat

#

just has a bunch of vers

#

it's pretty common that it loses

#

to kinda everything

#

like if it were crit > vers on the neck

#

probably huge neck

#

but just a big glob of vers blows real bad

ripe carbon
#

so crit/haste gear is wat id want?

balmy condor
#

you'd want whatever sims higher

ripe carbon
#

mm ok

balmy condor
#

depends on all your other gear

ripe carbon
#

i dont have raidbots premium lol

balmy condor
#

crit is good, mastery is good, haste is good, vers is slightly less good

#

having branch gives you an actual fuck ton of mastery, so mastery will usually be valued lower with it

#

tbh most of the time it's just equip highest ilvl and then fix the stats with gems and enchants and call it a day

#

any more than that is kind of pointless minmax for the most part

#

weirdly enough, damage ends up being the least important thing this patch

#

especially in m+

#

your group is going to get 1 shot by unavoidable casts or wipe to just being dumbasses long before you miss a timer from a lack of damage

#

raid is sort of going that path atm this late in the patch

#

got guilds holding dps on fyrakk because they would simply push the boss too fast otherwise and not have healer cds

ripe carbon
#

i havent done more then +16 or normal raid yet

#

i only just got max lvl 4 weeks ago

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

I'm just saying like

#

even in 27/28's and higher end mythic raids

#

damage is a dime a dozen

#

ill just buy raidbot premium so i can sim diff gem/chants

Ambush is currently only used with non-venthyr builds using subterfuge
The reasoning is a little complicated, but the most important of them is the difference in combo points on crit (up to 4 vs 3) and it's interaction with Flagellation.
You also have to consider the additional poison application chances. Ambush is not considerably worse or better in any situation, so you aren't losing out on much if you don't use it.
