It would be 30% of the duration on the tooltip, assuming you refresh it with a 6cp rupture

royal lantern
#

its a meme where somebody went once and said "look, i can make the tree look like a crab" dracthyr_kek

gusty mirage
#

Good baseline is just to take the 5cp one, which I believe is 7.2s iirc

gusty mirage
royal lantern
#

i mean, yeha, they made the trees a bit "foolproof" by default

#

gates, important skills not really able to miss etc....

gusty mirage
#

Being able to completely skip our major CD was an interesting design decision

opal dawn
#

fuck me, i gonna try it now xD for low content, the build doesn't matter anyway. It's enough if you know what you are doing anyway

opal dawn
gusty mirage
#

Honestly do it, finding ways to change shit up is cool. Often times people forget this is a video game

opal dawn
gusty mirage
#

As long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters. And I agree, mythic raid probably isn’t the time to bust out the crab build but like lfr or weekly +8s-10s to fill vault? Fuck it

#

Probably does decent enough for heroic too tbh

tawdry meteor
#

Anyone have a WA that shows when a garrote is empowered?

gusty mirage
#

!wa It requires custom code so I would yoink the garrote WAs from these packs

subtle tundra
#

kinda sad to see that even when playing as much as zerocool the highest he has done is 18 LOL
thats 3 key levels less than the highest

opal dawn
#

hmm also, there could be a good build somewhere hidden. Rogue is "not played that much"

gusty mirage
subtle tundra
#

4 less if talking about av

#

thats a LOT

#

thats not even close to being a well balanced meta

gusty mirage
subtle tundra
#

when a otp cant do -1 level

#

not even -2

gusty mirage
#

That’s three times this expac now?

opal dawn
subtle tundra
#

and then you will watch max say how close the meta is for m+

#

or whatever

tawdry meteor
#

Is there anywhere I can post for log review?

subtle tundra
#

and defend it

gusty mirage
#

As much as people shit on bfa, bfa was significantly better balanced m+ wise (just ignore sub and survival hunter like blizzard did)

opal dawn
#

am i wrong?: the problem with dh utility was there the whole time, but it was not so populat to prefer utility over demage?

subtle tundra
#

the utility dh has rn is a recent thing

gusty mirage
royal lantern
subtle tundra
#

the only season you could maybe play assa was the first one, and outlaw still was so much better

royal lantern
#

its like skipping PI on priest class tree, they made all the strong stuff behind Pi so priests are forced to take it

#

delete pi btw

gusty mirage
#

And augvoker

royal lantern
#

yes

#

playing devestation on remix

#

insane spec

#

if i would play that one and then was told "Play aug now"

#

i would just delete folder 32

subtle tundra
#

or maybe go back to SL dungeon design where time and dps was the thing that timed keys

subtle tundra
#

not surviving 1 shot after 1 shot

subtle tundra
#

wdym wdym

royal lantern
#

wdym wdym wdym

opal dawn
#

you can play a spec and improve your gameplay to the top if you like it

subtle tundra
#

ok nvm it wasnt outlaw that was so much better, it was sub

opal dawn
#

it was both actually

subtle tundra
#

now imagine you can play whatever you want at top gameplay, and 1 is better than the other

#

obviously better

opal dawn
#

oh i was not aware that you are refering to the top1% ^^

#

sorry then

subtle tundra
#

yes

#

cause thats where meta is relevant

royal lantern
#

like, meta revelance in wow is the REALLY really really high top end

#

top 1% is "does mythic raids"

opal dawn
#

depends

#

99,9% of all players feel like meta is relevant for them in their prospective 😉

royal lantern
#

yes

#

and 99,9% of players are braindead apes

opal dawn
#

and I AM A CRAB

subtle tundra
#

and meta matters way more in scaling content than non-scaling content

#

i can afford playing assa as much as i want in mythic raid unless its actually dog water(like season 2, and i chose to still play it and get benched)

opal dawn
#

strong ^^

royal lantern
#

tbf, its also like

#

5man content

#

is just a shitshow

#

20 man raids? sure, every class is SUPPOSED to be in the raid 1x

#

but 5man group content completely throws that out of the window

subtle tundra
#

kinda weird how RAID buffs dictate M+ meta

royal lantern
#

and it turns from "yeha, my class/spec is maybe not that great rn, but i still have my place" into "yeha, why ever THINK about me when other stuff is objectively better"

royal lantern
subtle tundra
#

most competitive part of wow

#

😉

royal lantern
#

m+ is so half assed, its incredible

#

ammount of work and improvments done on it over the years is near 0

royal lantern
fallen arch
#

M+ saved this game

#

Without m+ it would have been super dead

gusty mirage
#

Unironically true

royal lantern
#

sure

gusty mirage
#

The hamster wheel keeps people engaged

fallen arch
#

Because pvp is kinda non existent

gusty mirage
#

2-3 months into the season raid is dead for most players

#

It’s mostly people gearing alts

royal lantern
#

and now m+ makes blizz do idiotic desicions in record speed all the time

fallen arch
#

Ye and also raid is something you do 6-9 hours a week if you’re not a total degen

royal lantern
#

cus they cba actually doing anything with it

gusty mirage
#

Pvp queues are fucked because people love to sit on rating and make a “final push” so queue times are abysmal

fallen arch
#

M+ you can do all week long

gusty mirage
#

Yep it’s either m+ or casual content outside of raid

#

And idk many people who are gonna opt to farm rep for a mount lmao

fallen arch
#

But what casual content

#

Like farming mounts?

gusty mirage
#

Ye and tmogs and finishing loremaster

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

Which is unironically a large part of the player base

fallen arch
#

Ye which are all or braindead easy or total rng

gusty mirage
#

Yep

#

You can knock most of it out in a day too

#

A few hours for your rotation weekly

fallen arch
#

Ye exactly

royal lantern
#

like, reminder how absolutely low the ammount of people that do mythic raids and m+ beyond "weekly +8 for vault" is

#

"m+ players" that push is a ridicolous low number, not different then mythic raiding

gusty mirage
#

Ye, mythic plus is great for the game but gets super toxic at higher levels

#

As in super toxic for the game itself

royal lantern
#

like, high end m+ is basically a moba

#

dont learn and play your character

#

play whats best

#

20000x more easy to get results

#

and more effective

gusty mirage
#

Ye that’s poor balancing

royal lantern
#

which kinda stands against everything that mmorpgs are about

gusty mirage
#

Blizzard deviated away from their philosophy of “bring the player not the class” with SL

#

And idk why

royal lantern
#

bring the class not the player

and thats in 5man content

#

its actually insane

gusty mirage
#

Removed scrolls, nerfed drums, brought in externals

#

Like bruh

royal lantern
#

like, i know "dae affixes bad" etc.....

but just the IDEA that affixes exist that some classes CANT INTERACT WITH IN ANY WAY AT ALL is pure insanity

#

like, who the fuck thought thats a good thing????

gusty mirage
#

Increased unavoidable damage sources in keys where you’re kind of inclined to bring in classes with tons of utility

fallen arch
#

Ye fuck that

#

But I’m sort of doing the same

#

If I can choose between an Aug that is giving so much value for the last spot, or a super sick Frost DK

royal lantern
fallen arch
#

I know what I’m choosing

royal lantern
#

after that? wild west

gusty mirage
#

Ye

#

It’s partly design flaw and mostly community based

royal lantern
#

every class and spec can do a +10? they achieved their goal

#

cus thats the end of what they want people to do

fallen arch
#

Which sort of makes sense

#

BUT

#

The competitive part of it is TGP this season

#

Which completely invalidates that logic

royal lantern
#

it also doesnt help that the "m+ community" is not much better then the PvP one

#

many of the changes we saw are results of their complaints

fallen arch
#

I know

#

Just watch a random zerocool stream

#

And the players he deals with

royal lantern
fallen arch
#

Ye I can imagine

#

I mean he’s a really good player

royal lantern
#

(he is cool in raids, dont worry, im just doing memes)

fallen arch
#

But I don’t think I could keep up with that sort of behavior

#

Desync PI once? On banlist

#

Overpull as tank? Banlist

#

But he’s probably just memeing

fallen arch
royal lantern
#

was kazzak back then

#

people do transfers yes

#

but silvermoon now

cerulean maple
#

Is this build fine for lower keys? (up to +6 rn) or should i go with suddem demise + middle tree w/ amp poison etc.

gusty mirage
cerulean maple
#

i.. i think so??

fallen arch
#

This looks fine

gusty mirage
cerulean maple
#

Any particular tips or do i just play it like any aoe build

limber lion
#

Slam bleeds on everything

#

and everything dies

gusty mirage
#

Spread bleeds, and go ham

limber lion
#

don't bother pressing KB on packs

gusty mirage
#

Anything under like a +10 will die in like 15s max anyway

cerulean maple
#

so more worth spreading ruptures than trying to prio burst bc shit just falls over?

gusty mirage
#

So spread bleeds for the juicy sudden demise pad

#

Ye wouldn’t bother KBing unless it’s one of those named mobs with a billion HP

cerulean maple
#

w this build do yo spread garrotes on other targets off cd or just from stealth?

limber lion
#

With every build ever you spread garrotes on cooldown

#

on targets that don't have them

gusty mirage
#

From stealth would cover most of it, but outside of from stealth ye you just spread garrote and rupture and keep up CT

limber lion
#

If there's a target without garrote on it and your garrote is off cd, you press gar

cerulean maple
#

i figured it would be more worth to just spatter prio one target than to use a gcd spreading non-improved garrote Foxy_Sweat_Nervous

#

woops

#

glad i asked ig

limber lion
#

It is worth it if you're slamming down during full DTB KB Spatter windows

#

But with your build and the nature of the low level of the key, it's not worth it

cerulean maple
#

alright noted

gusty mirage
#

You got this NODDERS

You’re gonna pump deeps and get loot

Honestly raid bots premium is the best $ I’ve ever spent lol

I don’t even know what it costs

#

Only that I’m happy with my purchase

vestal wren
#

you can always use the gear list from #tc-research and run more selective sims

fallen arch
#

Its a sub. Right

high jetty
#

So much time at work spent simming instead of agonizing boredom

high jetty
limber lion
#

Just become a theorycrafter and get premium access permanently for free

fallen arch
#

But then you’d have to actually craft theories

cerulean maple
#

too many braincells involved

#

but getting permanent premium for theorycrafting is pretty cool

tawdry meteor
#

Do we play around this at all?

cerulean maple
#

yes

#

i do anyway

royal lantern

in aoe it happens by itself cus you have infinite energy there

in ST you ignore it and it just happens sometimes

Read About Pooling

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
tawdry meteor
#

so "If you are above roughly 80% energy, you're nearing the cap and should be starting up a new Envenom chain soon" we pool to 80% and then envenom chain until we can't anymore and then pool back to 80% and start envenom chaining again, if im understanding that right?

cerulean maple
#

alright turns out im just stupid then

#

LMFAO

tawdry meteor
#

ok great ty

#

I don't see the 4set on any logs, are logs broken?

When I was reading the icyveins guide earlier, I swear I saw that it said to Ashes when Kingsbane has 9-10 seconds left, but I'm looking again and I can't see anywhere it even mentions ashses. Is there a box I have to tick to find it

limber lion
tawdry meteor
#

yy but I feel like I'm going mad because it was 1000% there but now I can't find the bit that says it

wraith spindle
#

when single target bursting for opener, you press deathmark before dance?

strange python
#

Deathmark - Dance - Kingsbane

#

Is the cd order

wraith spindle
#

Tyvm

strange python
#

Shiv before dance and refresh it

#

Have fun

wraith spindle
#

and thistle tea?

strange python
#

Around 5 seconds of kingsbane remaining

#

5.6 I think it is

wraith spindle
#

awesome

slate crown
#

Otherwise use tea when ur thirsty

wraith spindle
#

hahaha ok! you guys are the best

tawdry meteor
#

So in the guide at the bottom it says "Refresh Garrote and Rupture during vanish" , but in the other section it says to just refresh garrote and doesn't mention rupture, and it feels weird to use rupture instead of envenom at the end of vanish since you still have your 2nd shiv up as well

#

So i guess my question is, am ia ctually supposed to rupture refresh there instead of enveonming?

slate crown
#

It was a point of deliberation during the final days of sim testing after the rework

#

Ultimately

#

It doesn't matter

#

They're close enough together, and generally it's just less of a headache to use envenom and not worry about thinking about rupture

#

I just envenom

tawdry meteor
#

I shall envenom too, feels better

#

Does master assassin snapshot onto the entire Rupture if yo ucast it in vanish?

slate crown
#

No

#

MA is literally just "while buff is active, damage events have +Crit", not a snapshot

#

The only snapshot effects we have are Imp Garrote (if you consider that a snapshot which I do, it is effectively one) and Nightstalker

tawdry meteor
#

ok ty

#

and last question I have rn is

#

Before going into each Kingsbane window, do I want to precast an envenom beforehand so i go into the window with the buff, like in the opener

slate crown
#

It is ideal to do that, yes

#

Most entries into KB will look like Env -> (Deathmark every other) -> Shiv -> Dance/KB -> the rest

#

2 caveats tho

#

The goal is envenom uptime, the above is not necessarily required for that goal depending on the circumstance

#

As you get acclimated to watching your envenom buff, you can easily have situations where you go Env -> Mutilate -> Mutilate -> Shiv -> Dance/KB -> Env

#

As you learn best to stick to always doing env shiv kb, but just know you can look for opportunities to shortcut that as long as envenom is maintained

#

Second is in M+, a lot of the meticulous planning and preparations for an optimal KB window can go out the window

#

As you're just trying to get as much stuff out when you have the opportunity that you can

#

So you may initiate KB without envenom being active in M+ just to get it rolling sooner

radiant osprey
#

whats the point of kingsbaning after shadow dance

#

can i not shiv, kb, sd?

keen spruce
#

shadowdance isn't on the GCD

#

you dance/KB at the same time

#

but you might as well have the initial hit of KB get the stealth benefits

radiant osprey
#

right

#

ok ty

slate crown
#

And nightstalker snapshotting the KB itself

#

regardless of the initial hit

hallow tinsel
#

I got a question for the bleed build guys, when running pug keys with large first pulls (Nelth for exmaple, tank pulls the first 2-4 packs) do you guys wait to open until the tank has stopped pulling so you can spread bleeds easier with IC, or do you just start spreading bleeds early and spread them manually after the IC window is down? I generally run a poison builds for the easier rotation but I'd like to get in the habit of pushing with the more recommended bleed build

high jetty
#

Go with the tank and spread

#

The wardens aren’t dangerous

#

You can get your bleeds on them with out IC when they come in

#

Or with your vanish later

#

The bleed build isn’t that complex really. You’re dps just comes from different cooldowns in aoe. It’s all about shivs and stealths. Rather than KB/DM

grim jay
#

Nothing wrong with waiting until he is atleast at the second group

high jetty
#

Yeah. All I meant is don’t sit there in stealth waiting for the slow ass wardens to catch up

#

Once he gets the first 2 packs you can hit tricks and start ramping

#

Then send on the thermacharge

Guys any tips for bleedmaxxing? NOTED

I'm running DTB+SD in keys and my sudden demise overall is staying at 2%, can't cross above that.

I'm keeping up CT and Scent stacks though.

Can't figure out what's going wrong

limber lion
#

If you spec out of DTB and use the Arterial Shock build instead, you'll see your SD skyrocket

hexed frost
limber lion
#

DTB spreads the damage more across other things

hexed frost
#

Bruh there's soo many build variations for assa lmao

#

My outlaw brain hurts

limber lion
#

Dungeonslice sims are not super duper great

spice surge
#

Sims cant take demise proc into account either

limber lion
#

Try out the Arterial Shock build and see how you do with that

spice surge
#

So all sims with that talent are gonna be inaccurate regardless of what you do

hexed frost
#

So AP+SD?

limber lion
#

Yup

hexed frost
#

Yeah I have that saved, but was only running the cleave build so far

proven jasper
#

it owns trust

limber lion
#

Cleave is really only good at higher key levels where stuff lives long enough to have KB for every pack and the mobs live through the entire KB window

hexed frost
#

I'm just KBing bigger mobs and ending up at 7-7.5% overall for my kb

crimson zephyr
#

what does "per critical strike" mean?

limber lion
#

As Mutilate is an ability that hits twice.

crimson zephyr
spice surge
#

It makes more sense for fok

#

Where it gives you 1 combo point per crit, so it can be 1 per target if everything crits

limber lion
#

Yeah, pretty much the same for all similar generators that have an upfront damage portion that can crit

#

Those currently only being Mutilate and FoK

only vaguely related but what m+ keys should i be running at ilvl 500

limber lion

Whatever you think you can pull off

#

Depends on your skill level and what you're aiming to do as well

#

Could do chill +5's or push 15's

cerulean maple
#

gear up ig? but, essentially, does ilvl not matter as much as actually being good at the dungeon mechanics?

limber lion
#

It definitely does matter

#

Mythic+ is a massive environment

gusty mirage

ilvl will just kinda hold you back when pugging

limber lion

Your group matters a lot

limber lion

Not dying and doing your rotation super well is a good place to start

#

And you gear up as you go

gusty mirage
#

at 500 ilvl you probably still have a lot of gear that'll need wyrms crests so don't feel bad about running some 5s

full summit

like i learned my rotation first then doing boss mechs and then geared while doing it all

cerulean maple

#

its more like

#

you do until its not valuable anymore

#

during cds and burst windows you use every GCD, outside of them you start to go more into maintenance mode to conserve energy so you can keep envenom chains running as long as possible

#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

I see people using the spender energy % reduction node instead of the extra CP from ambush
Tried it and now I feel like I struggle to build CP in KB windows in ST
Are they close in output ? What's the benefit ?

spice surge
#

It sims higher, the energy is more worthwhile than the CP

#

But its not a big difference either way

dark token
tropic zodiac
grim jay
#

thats not really anything to worry about anymore

#

had to do with poison applications

#

it would only have a minor impact in the DM KB window

#

and even then its not worth the hassle

dark token
#

Couple of reasons to mut in shadow dance

  1. 2x poison applications
  2. MA in shadow dance means you have +30% crit during dance which means you have around 70-80% crit total. Let's say 75% crit as an example, this is a 93% chance of 3 cps (equivalent to an ambush), and a 56% chance at 4 cps (beats ambush)
#

I just completely unbound ambush from my bars

#

It's only used when forced blindside

#

Not a "hassle" imo

grim jay
#

whispyr had a post about it for some time

#

and only using it for the KB DM window kinda is a hassle for the minimal gain it would represent

#

because you would need an extra bind just for that

#

unless anything changed from one season to another

limber lion
#

It's not worth the effort whatsoever

#

For a marginal gain if that

dark token
#

always mutilating in kb better than just mutilating in deathmark + KB, and it's easier to play with less hassle

#

and both options are always better than pressing ambush in all kb windows

#

(these sims were run on my character but its max gear anyway so)

#

so i just recommend people unbind ambush entirely and just mut

#

and this is why tight spender is just >>> the ambush talent

#

idk why people run it on logs they probably copy pasta their ST build from early s3 when blindside wasnt nerfed, its tight spender in every situation atm

garrote is 3 cp

dark token

you only get 3 cp from garrote since they bugfixed sin in early s3 i think

#

or maybe s1 even

#

it used to be 5 because you'd get additional cp from the extra targets

grim jay
#

think it was s1 even

#

or was it a rework bug ?

dark token
#

ye it was s1

#

people would garrote envenom garrote envenom in dance

#

realz didnt like that

grim jay
#

now I need to change through my loadouts to switch out ambush

gusty mirage
grim jay
#

with his sims

#

as "default apl" does muti on dm

gusty mirage
#

correct, which has always been what you do

grim jay
#

actually

#

it wasnt worth the hassle

#

so you didnt do any of it

#

because that was the 0.2

#

only ambush -> muti in dm was 0.2

#

unless I remember it completely wrong

#

but cev would remember it wrong aswell then

gusty mirage
#

plus that was originally simmed before the blindside nerf when we took improved ambush

#

so the gap widens when you swap to tight spender

dark token
#

with tight spender and higher secondaries its a super braindead minmax of 0.7% to always mut

#

doesnt require any gameplay

#

just drag mut to stealth bar

grim jay
#

yeah with how it is now

Hey guys just game back to season 4, wowhead suggests crafting blue lining on lifebound wrists and belt, if I want to use engineering bracers for ress which slot should I put the second patch on instead?

ah ye neck is also an option

I would do neck/belt

But... it's the same spec

Why would they swap to Assassination just because they lose Acro

Yes but outlaw is literally UNPLAYABLE without acro

But that's not what we're talking about Fuu

vestal wren

oh sry, i haven't followed the entire discussion

I mean acro does feel ass for outlaw since it affects bladeflurry too right

#

Not sure I don’t play pirate but

limber lion

I mean if Outlaw is bad and feels bad to play, then sure

strange python
#

It does sound annoying

vestal wren
#

they increased the range of blade flurry

limber lion

#

Eh

deva?

I swear bm hunter is more fun than that

Ye deva

just good

And yes

im still stuck between assa rogue, and havoc so... i can't say much

vestal wren
#

fair, i shelved my evoker after leveling

vestal wren
#

haven't touched it since

#

Although Pres is one of the most fun healers from a non healer perspective

#

Has a lot of cool combinations and stuff

vestal wren
#

think i plyed my dh in legion more than my evoker in DF

strange python
forest nacelle
#

yea

strange python
#

It’s proper fun now tbh and has a good amount of minmax

#

But also their playstyle now does have some problems

#

I would’ve benched myself on nymue if I was a havoc player

#

No way I’m doing that or any fight that is something where you don’t wanna zoom around kekdog

limber lion
#

Also if the only bandage holding Outlaw together is Acrobatic Strikes and 100% uptime on ADR, then the spec was doomed from the beginning.

Fellow bleedmaxxers

1>Does applying CT on single target during execute phase a dps gain? Even at the cost of 4p dropping off.

2>If running bleed build, which is more important between applying bleeds and keeping up 4p buff?

3>I know that IC does smart targetting, in that it prioritises new targets, so if I keep garotting the same target, the bleeds will be applied to different targets automatically?

Good day one can tell me why he says I should take verse instead of mastery although mastery is the best ? in general, someone can tell me what the best talent tree is

limber lion
#

First of all, stats do not matter at all

#

read this

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

limber lion
#

Secondly, it's not recommending Vers, it's recommending Crit.

#

That tree is good

Simming whatever gear you have is optimal

all 4 stats are good for assa

just use a diff ring if you cant proc the effect or keep it if you need the vers
