i think it helped guys

thorn fjord

Fuck taking gouge anyway

woeful vault
#

Blind works wonders, especially if you have the airborne irritant (or whatever the talent node was called) that makes it aoe. You can cast in a group near the incorp and it usually blinds them, or target the incorp to be sure and get everyone around it

cloud basin
#

okay cool. Im still learning what tools we have for m+ lol

gusty mirage
#

ye aoe blind is sick for m+ as well

#

for hard interrupts

#

esp when you have 523432398423984239842 stuns in the group

#

petition blizzard to make tricks of the trade baseline again

#

because choosing between blackjack and tricks is kinda toxic

#

30% DR is nuts

cloud basin
#

cheap shot see any use?

gusty mirage
#

last minute desperation if a cast is about to go off

#

but outside of that 1 off use, nah

#

not worth giving up time in dance/using vanish for

autumn frost
#

Yeah why did they f our tricks

woeful vault
#

And only if you have stealth active at the time, otherwise I never see it used or use it myself

gusty mirage
#

yeah I took that shit off my bars

#

esp as assa w/ garrote silence

#

kinda unnecessary

#

airborne halving the cooldown of blind + kidney shot

#

you kinda never need cheapshot anymore outside of pvp

thorn fjord
#

As sin you don’t really need tricks tho do you?

#

Not like you’re pulling crazy aggro

gusty mirage
#

lol

thorn fjord
#

Ah true

#

But fuck everyone else kekdog

autumn frost
#

Tricks let you help move mobs to the tank

gusty mirage
#

I can tell you I'd appreciate a tricks on my pally

autumn frost
#

as he charges elsewhere to grab more mobs

gusty mirage
#

press final verdict and if it crits

#

I die

#

it's pretty cool

thorn fjord
#

Our dev voker has been traumatized by that same sentiment

gusty mirage
#

I press 1 button and just die

autumn frost
#

I mean that's why you have bubble

gusty mirage
#

meanwhile the hunter is blasting

#

and they're chilling

storm forum
#

Didn't dev spells get threat reduction?

thorn fjord
#

Yeah just bubble forehead

autumn frost
#

Or bop

gusty mirage
#

I can't do it every pull NotLikeThis

thorn fjord
autumn frost
#

Sure you can

#

just make sure you only pull based on your cd

gusty mirage
#

true

true condor
#

is this a good beginning

gusty mirage

but my anvil stacks

council is a meme

#

everything else seems fine for someone who just picked up the spec tbh

true condor

i always forget to use Garr and Rup

yeah that'll do it

true condor
#

and overcap my cp

keen spruce
storm forum

Same

autumn frost
#

My cd's getting desynced is such a pain

#

Our damage is so damage window dependant.

true condor
#

foxdding i ask for PI from a priest every pull

autumn frost
#

I have to bribe my priest

#

and the priest said he charges 10k per pull

#

Not even 10k per raid

storm forum
#

My hunters got my back and told our priest to PI me instead of them

true condor
#

foxdding what a beast

dark token
#

Unholy should be the only person who completes with us now

#

Their burst on pull still better

#

So technically you wanna pi unholy on opener and sin rest of fight

gusty mirage
#

it's only a 23k dps dif

kinda based tbh

true condor
#

foxdding i am waiting Nick of time for so long

dusky carbon
#

you just run dawn on mythic 0 right?

modest spindle
#

is there a "good way" to spend bullions? or just buy whatever gives most ilvl?

dusky carbon
#

yeah you should prioritize bis trinkets / MH

quiet oar
#

what good chocies are

modest spindle
#

well the vendors don't sell nick, is there a 2nd best one to get from the vendor

dusky carbon
#

you can just sim it tbh

#

droptimizer

spice surge
#

It doesnt really matter what dagger you buy

#

Secondary stats are fake either way

#

Id just suggest to buy the dreamcarver because it effectively comes with a speed proc

spice surge
modest spindle
#

i have Ashes dropped, i see the sim linked in the pins using signet as 2nd trinket but no clue how sims work idk what it's sim'ed for, i mostly wanna run dungeons and aoe content, is signet still good to get besides ashes?

dusky carbon
#

i would get grieftorch especially if you'd ever play one of the other specs

modest spindle
#

don't rly care about other rogue specs

#

but maybe i should get dagger, my dagger have both vers on them

dusky carbon
#

hey maybe stupid question but is there a difference between dawn of the infinite mythic 0 andd hardmode for nick of time drops?

spice surge
#

yes

#

It doesnt drop on the hero track unless you do hardmode

vestal wren
gusty mirage
dusky carbon
# spice surge yes

how tough is hardmode dawn of the infinite? im getting declined left right and center at 508 ilvl

thorn fjord
#

It feels like a 22/23 did sort of

#

Maybe less

#

Its not super hard but you gotta do mechanics

dusky carbon
#

ok so not puggable lol

bright turret
#

boss hp is low, but the damage you take is high

digital venture
bright turret
#

if you can clear a 10, it aint bad, but i wouldnt take a pug below 515

#

healer has to be on point too

dusky carbon
#

got it... my group is doing 8-10s right now

drifting cedar
#

When we use ashes? Before our shadow dance or?

spice spire
#

On dm

drifting cedar
#

Cool, thanks

#

is it wise to macro it?

Is assa doing better after the buffs?

gusty mirage
#

yes

spice spire
#

Ofc it’s doing better it was buffed! Enough to notice though? Yeah

tepid glacier
#

Mighy try it out,

#

Outlaw in pugs is despairge

#

Got told to do more aoe dmg with an sp and boomy in group

royal lantern
#

tell the boomy to do more st dmg instead of jerking themself of on starfall

tepid glacier
#

True kekw

dark token
#

I still wouldn't play sin in keys tbh

#

Top squishy

gusty mirage
#

"Hey spec that does aoe based off prio damage for like literally the entire existence of the spec do more aoe"

tepid glacier
#

Give outlaw uncapped aoe

#

And assa, fuck sub

spice surge
#

Ig theres some dungeons where sins prio burst is really good

gusty mirage
#

I think the people you play with need to learn how to read tbh

#

that's step 1

spice surge
#

Both nokhud and rlp have decent profiles

tepid glacier
#

Theyre pugs

gusty mirage
#

oh true

#

they can't read

tepid glacier
#

Cant expect too much

gusty mirage
#

plus they play ranged dps

#

they triple can't read

tepid glacier
#

HAHA

gusty mirage
#

(we skip double, because double negative is a positive and fuck them casters)

royal lantern
tepid glacier
#

Casters are our enemies

gusty mirage
#

like unironically

#

by a boomkin

royal lantern
#

rogue is OP

#

the end

gusty mirage
#

I was like "compare non-PI logs"

royal lantern
#

thats how 98% of the playerbase see rogue

slate crown
#

Anything a boomy says

royal lantern
#

you sended me the screenshot oxi, i know it kekdog

slate crown
#

Interpret as polar opposite of true

gusty mirage
#

then I showed them the top 15 magmorax logs, excluding externals, for both assa and fury

#

and their response

#

"LUL WHO CARES ABOUT TOP LOGS"

#

"ITS JUST PAD"

#

you know

#

all that pad on the single target boss magmorax

royal lantern
#

im padding HARD on volcorros aswell

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

or however that fire snake is writen

gusty mirage
#

close enough

#

boomkins expecting to be taken seriously

#

and they haven't bothered submitting a profile to simc

primal jolt
#

man im tempted to play hunter for tww

#

id roll survival or something

brave gyro
#

Idk how they'll be power-wise, but their Hero Talents seem absolutely ResidentSleeper

hollow phoenix
#

Someone has the Whispyr weak aura he made from the afenar pls?

#

or just a decent caustic tracker

primal jolt
#

id say hunter ones are even more exciting

#

if anythign

brave gyro
#

rogues are udnerdesigned, but not boring theme wise

fallen arch
#

I’d never even consider rolling hunter

brave gyro
#

hunters themes are actually boring

fallen arch
#

Idk why but they always seems like the least knowledgable players in any sort of content

primal jolt
#

i agree

#

thats where the huntard comes from

#

but i mean

fallen arch
#

Yes

brave gyro
fallen arch
#

Or they just be stoopid

brave gyro
#

For example, with warriors: they are either 99% or 9% XD

#

its rare to meet middle of the pack

fallen arch
#

The hunter pack is always rock bottom thats why

idk i find the survival bombs pretty fun

royal lantern

like, Sentinels and Dark Rangers ARE big things inuniverse

primal jolt
#

especially on sentinel

royal lantern
#

its just that they made the same tree 2x with them lol

foggy juniper
#

i have one embilshment on wrists whats the other better one? boots or belt?

royal lantern
#

there is no better slot

#

whatever is a better upgrade for you

foggy juniper
#

hmmm

#

how can i sim on what slot the crafted will be better? idk how to use that lol

quiet junco
#

mythic plus...boon or torch? torch sims higher on dslice for me but i remember boon from s1 was crazy

royal lantern
#

boon if coordinated and BIG pulls are done

#

torch in pugs

#

atleast imo

quiet junco
#

win win it seems

royal lantern
#

torch just has the value that its kinda braindead to use + helps with things like bursting boss mechanics down

#

boon is not really a thing for boss fights aswell

somber sparrow

thats honestly a failure from the raidleading side then

rough moss
#

Just took a look at the logs, assa seems to be on top this week

rough moss
#

with the ilvl upgrade, it will get better and better right ?

rotund oak
#

yeah but i think everntually sub scales better

#

sin is definitely very very cool

rough moss
#

I hate playing sub tbh so I’m really happy sin is getting buffed

rotund oak
#

sin issue is survivability

#

dmg is there

rough moss
#

Sub has more survivability than sin ?

somber sparrow
# royal lantern thats honestly a failure from the raidleading side then

yeah i'm going through our logs, a couple fights we actually had 4 priests. one was getting the UHDK every time, one was getting her husband's boomkin, and then the other two were each getting a paladin because they have the legendary axe (even though one is a tank getting PI). It's actually really frustrating.

rotund oak
royal lantern
#

what has the legendary to do with Pi omegalul

rotund oak
#

mechanics

somber sparrow
royal lantern
#

assa has "only" the basic rogue toolkit

#

aka cloak with 2min cd, evasion which is very very niche and 2x feint

#

outlaw has CDR on everything and cus of that they have deffensive stuff up all the time

gusty mirage
#

does outlaw have french fries

#

🍟

slate crown
royal lantern
#

while also having some passive deffensive talents on outlaw

sub has CDR on everything with shadowdust which also makes things like cloak avaible waaaay more often and has deffensive talents

#

tl:dr

gusty mirage
slate crown
royal lantern
#

assa has "only" basic toolkit with full cd's, outlaw/sub have passive more deffensive allready and can also reduce the cd of deffensive stuff

#

(cdr on deffensive skills should not exist btw)

rough moss
#

Ok my bad never realized shadowdust worked on defensive too

thorn fjord
#

OL lets you ignore mechanics

thorn fjord
royal lantern
rough moss
#

But yea outlaw cdr is nuts for having évasion on every pack on mm+ lol

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

now combine it with elusivness 🙂

gusty mirage
#

and you battle the spiteful to the death

royal lantern
#

you only win for a short time and take heavy dmg

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

and then it comes back

#

is it normal that the cleave and hybrid build for M+ sims higher than the shock build in dungeon slice

raw cedar
#

Apologies if this has been asked again, but in the spreadsheet sims, is PI turned on for the Assa ST Simulation? That would explain the 22k difference in my own sims between Assa and Sub

what piece do you use to do fire dmg to proc with the Seal of Diurna's Chosen?

slate crown
#

So I just came back after a while and got 3 bunyuns from killing bosses and such, and I have the 2 available to me from the weekly quest. If I don't complete the weekly quest on a character, do you think I'll be able to get those 2 from drops like I did the previous three starting next week? I plan to complete the quest on my rogue but not sure if I should be trying to do it on my warrior as well (warrior stopped playing in season 2 and is like 449 ilvl so going to have to put some effort into getting it up before).

#

should I be chaining Envenoms over and over again or should I aim to be above 50% energy for sanguine blades and just pandemic Envenom close to it wearing off?

thorn fjord
#

You dont play around blades... You just want to make sure you pandemicing your env outside of CD's

#

Within CD's you send env as much as possible

balmy condor

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
thorn fjord
#

always forget thats a command lol

#

@balmy condor good morning prayge

buoyant moat
#

nvm answered my follo-up without tier too lol ty

buoyant moat
#

ok ok so with this in mind if I can still maintain Sanguine I do outside of CD's while still procing tier

balmy condor

If you don’t have tier yeah

Where are you folks using your Manic Grieftorch in your rotation?

balmy condor

whenever it's up and I'm not in cds

alpine lion

Would you prioritize your normal opener with it and THEN use it? Or use it in between?

balmy condor

you ashes with deathmark

#

that puts grief on cooldown cause shared cd

#

when grief comes up

#

you press grief

alpine lion

Ah, OK, I plan on getting Ashes this Tuesday

#

Right now I just have a Brand

balmy condor

oouch

#

not having a stat on use for cds hurts a ton

#

ashes next week and you ascend

alpine lion
#

Yeah, I miss ashes, but all my sims are suggesting I use the Brand

#

So I should have Ashes + Grieftorch on Tuesday

Just out of curiosity, when do you work Ashes into your opener?

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

Oh yes, the Red one also is when to use Ashes. In s3 there was an optimization on uses Ashes 3 seconds in. That’s that bar and should only show when you have ashes equipped.

However that recommendation changed and most people just macro it with KB now. You can disable that tick mark on the custom options page too for now, I will consider disabling the tick by default now that it’s just combined with KB

Good ask, I had forgotten about that tick

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

Patchwerk lovers, the estimates in fuu’s sheet are a little low; I have us at 375,733 DPS which is +0.64%. This has Sin beating Sub by 0.34%. Congratz on 2nd place!

Sin M+ folks, our time is now! DSlice sim updates with my APL puts us at 511,739 DPS (+14.5% from the SimC APL). We’re only 8.6% lower than Outlaw and 16% higher than Sub. You won’t see these gains unless you use the APL in the link; it’s just like the SimC APL but without the sandbags in DSlice. Most importantly, keep being awesome.

holy fk I just had a new gif idea

#

standby

#

not that

obtuse cliff
#

When do i refresh rupture + garrote? When they've fallen off or 1-2sec before that happens?

keen spruce
#

!pandemic

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

keen spruce
#

^ like this

obtuse cliff
#

If I understand correctly I should let empowered bleeds fall off and then refresh?

drifting cloud
#

yeah

#

unless youre refreshing them with empowered ones also

obtuse cliff
#

Also sorry for dumb question, empowered = Improved garrote or Sanguine Blades buff?

balmy condor
#

improved

#

sanguine blades is just a passive

okay so stealth garrote gotcha

pretty garbage

worse than a puzzle box garbage?

balmy condor

it would be your second trinket alongside the puzzle box

#

worth the swap u think?

idk if i roll need on those

balmy condor

over the cct

subtle cipher
#

dropped 2 :S

balmy condor
#

probably

#

minor upgrade at best

subtle cipher
#

and puzzle > cct?

balmy condor
#

they compete for different trinket slots

#

puzzle is your on-use for cooldowns

#

cct doesn't contend with that

subtle cipher
#

but i shouldnt use bandolier over cct?

#

if i do i would have 2 use

balmy condor
#

that's fine

#

the bandolier is probably better than cct

#

but not by much

#

you'd really just want to get an ashes and a grieftorch with your next bullions though

drifting cloud
#

its 90s cd honestly cct might be better

subtle cipher
#

yeah, will get grief with bullions

drifting cloud
#

but yeah you just buy trinkets with bullions

subtle cipher
#

u think cct better than puzzle?

drifting cloud
#

no, puzzle is your best trinket

#

right now

balmy condor
#

you have 2 trinket slots

subtle cipher
#

lifes rough

balmy condor
#

one is an on-use stat trinket

#

for your cds

#

the other is the filler

#

cct is not an on-use stat trinket

#

it does not compete with puzzle

drifting cloud
#

by on use he means something that gives stats

balmy condor
#

they are not comparable

drifting cloud
#

not actual bandolier

balmy condor
#

that's why I said on-use stat

drifting cloud
#

ok not like Im reading

#

sorry sir

I can't stand talk about trinkets, i wish I could hide the fact that I bought this as first trinket XD

Do you guys take bug reports here lol. Or is it just for spec discussion, I found a weird talent interaction which isn't viable but still broken

#

As in it doesn't work

#

not overpowered

spice surge
#

Sure just mention it

heady sonnet
#

Well, anyway. if you don't take [Improved Garrote] for whatever reason, [Iron Wire] no longer silences targets from stealth. Idk if they were previously related & got moved around or what.

#

I was trying to make a low-energy build and stubled across this

#

Stumbled rather

keen spruce
#

I think i remember that one

#

someone mentioned it early last season after the rework

#

I think it was just widely ignored because there's never a world where you skip imp garrote

spice surge
#

I have a faint memory of it working if you didnt have subterfuge specced as well

#

But i could be mistaken

keen spruce
#

i don't think i ever tested it personally

spice surge
#

As in, no subterfuge and no garrote, then iron wire works

keen spruce
heady sonnet
#

Ah, no unfortunately my dumb build has neither of those currently. Still no iron wire.

spice surge
#

Unfortunate

heady sonnet
#

Is there an efficient way to harass blizzard about this kinda bug or is it just hopeless

keen spruce
#

probably hopeless

#

but if you can log / video it

#

and do like some test cases

#

someone can add it to the pile

heady sonnet
#

Do I need anything specific or just a simple like obs recording of it on a training dummy

keen spruce
#

obs recording probably fine

#

maybe get clips of like normal setup, no imp yes subterfuge yes IW, then no imp no subterfuge yes IW

heady sonnet
#

Would I just dump it in this channel? Or is there a bug part here

keen spruce
#

and logs are always good

#

I'd probably just put it here

heady sonnet
#

oh ok neat. I didn't wanna inconvenience anyone by just dumping a video and stuff lol

#

thanks

keen spruce
#

ig you could technically add the bug to the github yourself but probably better to let someone that has done it before do it

#

also it's not necessarily going straight to blizzard

#

but it'll at least be known

#

and likely extremely low prio

#

cuz you're probbaly the only person in WoW not using imp garrote squishykek

balmy condor
#

that one's been known for a while

#

but the issue is that iron wire (and shrouded suffocation for that matter), builds on top of improved garrote

#

in the code they work as extensions of improved garrote themselves

#

so they functionally just don't work without improved garrote

keen spruce
#

I defer to the blue haired purple name

balmy condor
#

it was just kinda coded that way from way back when it was attached to subterfuge in wod or legion or whenever

#

and just survived since

#

it's been reported before but kinda... I don't wanna say ignored, cause it was received

heady sonnet
balmy condor
#

but it was... brushed off? I guess

#

there's basically never a reason to take shrouded without imp garrote, and iron wire without imp gar

heady sonnet
#

I just want to make a build without Path of Blood, I actually want improved garrote. but I can't get it without increasing my energy which is what I was trying to mess around without doing lol

keen spruce
#

ROI evaluation said dw about it shrugFreg

balmy condor
#

imp gar is so high up in the tree it's basically just a required point

#

so it's probably on a bug list somewhere

#

but the payoff of investing time into fixing it

#

just ain't there

heady sonnet
#

The only reason is i'm forced to take PoB 😛

balmy condor
#

and probably never will be

keen spruce
#

PoB also basically mandatory talent

#

What build would you recommend when things are dieing super fast in m+.
Arterial or cleave?
I've been doing 8s and most of the times my kb doesn't come close to ending even tho I activate it pretty soon

#

Arterial if everything dies quick

lavish pine
#

It does xD
People do so much dmg and pull so fast in 8s

#

Thanks mate
Ive been rolling cleave this week I'll give arterial a try today

rotund oak
#

im doing arterial shock all this time,it behaves pretty good in that range as well

#

but i think overall and for tyr weeks hybrid should be better

grim jay
#

The builds that rely more on KB damage for aoe might suffer a little more currently

#

Depending on what classes you run with

#

If their main aoe is dots with cleaving off of 1 target aswell, you might choose the same target

Which sucks

  • 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

idk but mastery looks low

#

can u post the simlink if its no problem?

pulsar void
#

oh okay what is a good number to aim for?

rotund oak
#

there are no specific numbers,just favor mastery a bit more

#

always simming is the best answer

#

kinda curious if u dont mind that sim

#

but fyi outlaw does sim higher in general

true condor

the most cringe moment is like, u can do 300k+ without PI, but the priest doesnt want to give u a PI to make u 500k

Honestly you can sin with what you have and be ok

should try simming double BSL

#

Oh really? thought you need to do it for like 5 weeks or sometrhing? we are on h fyrakk - will kill on monday

did you get the quest

each boss should be dropping a ton of the shards now with all the catchup in

🙂 thanks for the help guys!

#

if I recraft my belt to have BSL and change all gems and enchats to have mastery crit I am still simming 7k higher at outlaw on patchwork - so I gues sI will stick to Outlaw till I get another spark

#

just got the head enchant

#

😄

royal lantern
#

reminder

#

sims are not reality

#

and assa always tend to sim lower

#

meanwhile outlaw sees close to 0 "serious" raid gameplay

#

cus sim dps is not what makes something good or bad or whatever in raids

primal jolt
#

therefore we should all play affliction because it can move without much punishment

pulsar void
#

haha my fingers start to hurt with outlaw and I got lucky with ashes, betrayers and fang in last h raid so I was like okay lets try sin
