Yeah I don't have a raid schedule I can follow so I have no way to regularly do actual interesting raid content, and M+ is M+ as it always is whatever entertainment it can provide is outweighed by the massive negatives to my mental and significant amount of time wasted by just sitting in town getting declined

#

so meh, just not logging in much to retail anymore

#

Just beta or... nothing at all

#

here

#

this discord is my gameplay

crafting, m+ and the fated currency all should give you a fast way to gear

#

for sanguine week, I assume we take off crippling, but do we also replace a lethal with wound?

rugged flint
#

ok, ty

slate crown
#

As sin. If you're playing law/sub, yeah go for wound

rugged flint
#

nah im trying out sin this season

balmy condor
#

Wound is exclusive for PvP

grim jay
#

And remove the damage

clever sapphire
#

wound over slow poison i would take it

nimble zinc
#

uhh question.

#

my sim said to take myth thunderous downburst ring which is huuuge vers/haste ring. to replace my champ giga crit/haste ring, (for both ST and AOE/keys) -- Should I start running corrupt rage phial instead of tepid vers since I lost like 1300+ crit and gained 1300+ vers?

runic hinge
#

Probably doesn’t matter

#

You can sim it but secondary stats are less impactful on sin just because they’re all good for us

rancid wind
#

Im not sure if this is the right tab for cata classic, but i was hoping someone could help me with a gearing question

slate crown
halcyon hamlet
#

Would you rather press rupture in the last second of nightstalker window or press one more envenom if Kingsbane is going?

slate crown
slate crown
#

refresh rupture if it's fading and you need to refresh it, but don't think about the NS interaction with it, not significant enough to worry about

halcyon hamlet
#

But Id rather still press Envenom if KB is still going and rupture drops for a second or two right?

slate crown
#

Rupture should not drop during KB

#

Especially during the final ticks, you want rupture up to improve KB tick damage

ruby birch
#

anyone familiar with this build?

#

would it be worth meld stealthing the dance kingsbane (set without dm)

#

or meld stealthing to reup bleeds

runic hinge
#

I only meld to try and get a restealth if the tank doesn’t let me or if I’m avoiding a boss mechanic

stable jay
#

Should I get Voice of the Silent Star with my bronze bullions or Seal of Diurna's? I already have dream carver, greiftorch, and embersoul

ruby birch
#

well i dont really need to meld for those reasons almost ever

#

with the exception of cheesing certain boss mechanics

#

so i might as well find the best way to get dam out of it

#

i think probably doing it for KB is the better option

scenic nacelle

#

how do you maximize the damage you get out of kingsbane?

slate crown
spiral mist
#

have a question to the only mutilate during kingsbane/dm thing
do you still use blindside or no?

balmy condor
#

you can't avoid it even if you tried

#

so

#

yes

nimble zinc
spiral mist
#

can you cancelaura it?

balmy condor
#

yeah but thats OMEGGGGGGGGGA trolling

spiral mist
#

kk got it
so just a normal mut on stealth bar

nimble zinc
slate crown
#

Does it matter?

#

(I don’t know)

nimble zinc
#

True I guess a 535 cape would just sim higher regardless.

spice surge
shy pecan
#

Yeah sadge

slate crown
#

Oh I thought you could, maybe I’m wrong

spice surge
#

You need it to drop or get it from vault for it to work

slate crown
#

Damn

nimble zinc
spice surge
#

Yes

nimble zinc
#

Crazy

stable jay
#

what is catalyze?

spice surge
#

Its also just +7 ilvls on a cloak, very negligible

nimble zinc
#

Hmm 🤔

#

But it could make you 528?

#

is there a way to sim which phial works better?

#

i thought my sims used to tell me to use corrupt rage but i dont see it anymore

balmy condor
#

corrupting rage blows every other phial out of the water

#

the others aren't even a consideration

nimble zinc
#

awesome thanks

#

yeah i kinda figured 1100 crit was better than like 745 vers or 602 any other stat

#

so use corrupt rage even in raid?

balmy condor
#

especially in raid

nimble zinc
#

here's me stats for reference, not that stats matter per say...

#

i wanna focus on upgrading my 2 crafted pieces

balmy condor
#

514 ilvl

#

yep looks good

kind turtle
#

This has probably been answered before, but do bleeds snapshot with mastery %?

slate crown
#

No

thorn fjord
#

@shy pecan all those sims i posted earlier were with splatter lmao

when you get 2 KINGSBANES PARRIED on sark

Go next

#

Both with deathmark dude

#

I can’t with this game

spice spire
#

It’s ogre

parry is probably one of the worst things in the game

#

there is literally no reason for it to still exist

junior aurora
#

couldnt hear you from all the way back here, too many pyroblast procs

violet jackal
#

Have you tried hitting it from behind?

kind turtle
#

Do the extra bleeds from Deathmark make the initial hit from Kingsbane do more damage?

#

if anyone knows

runic hinge
kind turtle
# runic hinge Lethal dose stacks, so probably

but do you think second garrote and rupture count? or does lethal dose only recognize each bleed once, uniquely. I was testing and it seemed like the first hit on Kings was doing the same with or without Deathmark.

slate crown
#

LD recognizes the duplicate stacks

#

The initial hit of KB is unaffected

#

the initial hit is not a damage over time

kind turtle
#

Got it. So the duplicate stack do not increase the initial hit of Kings. Thanks

slate crown
#

Well

#

No stacks increase it

#

But yes

if I don't have flavor pocket

tawny pagoda
#

Whats a bigger gain of using vanish in dungeons, use it for MA in KB window and pump hard bcs caustic or just for spreading stronger garrotes and ruptures in aoe ?

#

Im thinking the second option is just padding mby..

balmy condor
#

basically always spread

#

you're not doing keys high enough where vanishing for kb is going to make a difference

tawny pagoda

i miss old shaman primordial wave-less shaman

#

i dont wanna play around 1 spell

clever sapphire
#

feral is also not bad, but it gets boring imo

primal jolt
#

i mean feral is the closest to rogue as i can get tbh

#

so it shouldn't be boring i hope

grim jay
#

Feral is meh

primal jolt
#

never actually invested time in it

#

idk what im doing

grim jay
#

It would only be good if it could still use the claws of shirvalla Form PogO

primal jolt
#

might download a rotation addon or something im feeling 5% dumber after learning like 5 other classes

tawny pagoda
primal jolt
#

because im disappointed 😎

primal jolt
#

after i saw the hero talents for rpgue i learned how to play warrior, warlock, arcane mage, shaman, and now feral druid

#

there's no salvation

#

just suffering

#

I'm watching a feral dps guide rn

#

why are all the videos like 40 minutes long

#

i have like 5 buttons

royal lantern
#

its making stuff look overly complicated for no reason

sharp viper
#

and yapping

grim jay
#

I mean there are also 10 min bm guides

#

While realistically it should be a 2 min guide

royal lantern
#

i Love the "omg arcane mage/shadow priest so complicated, look at the guides!!!1111!!!!"

#

and then the guide is just horrible formated

#

and can be summed up with "press shit on CD and do this order of abilitys during it, outside of that do filler->filler->filler->spender and repeat"

cursive owl
#

@clever sapphire kekdog

#

Disclamer : (Dont take these Stats seriously , just for Fun testing season )

grim jay
#

"OMG its so long"

#

But it has 4 steps between each barrage

#

That is just arcane blast x 4

#

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT A SEPARATE STEP

royal lantern
# grim jay "OMG its so long"

ofc its long when every 2nd sentence is "do this opener, if you have this talent skilled (which you have skilled) i write the entire opener again but with the talent included now, repeat with every single talent"

cursive owl

#

👍

strange python
#

Because you don’t really barrage in cds as arcane besides once

clever sapphire
#

nah its just arcane in general

strange python
#

Bro anything outside of cds doesn’t matter

#

But arcane is very specific in cds

clever sapphire
#

its specific in the first 12 seconds

#

after that its just arcane charge/arcane missiles

strange python
#

Well

clever sapphire
#

thats it

strange python
#

It does that every minute / half of it and at 2 minutes

#
  • your cds are very desynced because you spend until a certain point of evocation and whatnot
#

It’s definitely not as simple as blast - missiles kekdog

clever sapphire
#

actually they are not as desynced as it might appear at first

strange python
#

Well in theory they are not

clever sapphire
#

because you cast cds when evoc has 18 sec left

#

anyways this is assa discord not arcane

#

back to topic

#

feck deathstalker

strange python
#

What topic

#

That’s wrong channel

#

We have a tww channel

clever sapphire
#

ah its fine

strange python
clever sapphire
#

close enough

strange python
#

Im just joking

grim jay
#

Something that once happened

pseudo hamlet
#

Can anyone tell me what's happening?

#

(2 different sims, droptimizers from Vault and from the vendor)

limber lion
#

Trinket order matters

pseudo hamlet
#

I noticed that the second didn't upgrade my Neltharion trinket up to 535(it's 525)

grim jay
#

Trinket order is use order

clever sapphire
#

but why does he do more dmg with grieftorch as first trinket

limber lion
#

Send a quick sim with the top sim and look what it does

clever sapphire
#

is that a nonupgraded ashes?

grim jay
clever sapphire
#

fair point

primal jolt
#

whos gonna teach me how to play feral druid

willow kite
#

Assuming ashes + grieftorch in ST, I assume we do kb window with ashes and then grieftorch afterwards?

primal jolt
#

its basically rogue

frosty bridge
#

wait we can't catalyse cloak we buy with bullions

clever sapphire
#

yap

clever sapphire
#

so gl

primal jolt
#

dies

clever sapphire
#

but its kinda the same as assa in dungeons, spread bleeds, do no dmg on boss without cooldowns, cry in a corner until cooldowns up

grim jay
#

(in aoe)

glass hemlock
#

Does ilvl = damage
Assuming you’re doing rotations etc correctly?

#

More damage*

clever sapphire
#

thats why i typed "no dmg on boss"

glass hemlock
#

Nice, I’m between 180-250 max overall at 502

grim jay
pseudo hamlet
#

I guess the reason was that in the S4 Vendor you can upgrade Neltharion trinket up to 535, while in Vault it only goes up to 528.
Didn't expect the difference to be that noticeable to be honest.

grim jay
#

Bcs you got aoe outside of CDs

#

And you save them for Boss

#

If you are close

grim jay
#

In actuality

#

Dunno if id get it either way

glass hemlock
#

In AoE I see people basically doing every second mutilate as fan before envenom. Seem right?

clever sapphire
#

in aoe you press mut to keep up spatter

glass hemlock
#

So mutilate, fan, envenom

#

Yeah that’s what I mean

clever sapphire
#

ye but you only need to mutilate every 8-9 seconds

glass hemlock
#

Oooh I see yep

clever sapphire
pseudo hamlet
# grim jay I mean the nelth trinket isnt that good

Got Ashes first, wanted a second trinket that would've been good for M+ and Raiding. Went with the Nelth trinket, because it seems most versatile. Will be getting Grieftoch this week for bullions for sure(other options were just higher upgrade).

grim jay
#

Rng can still fuck you over just like in st

clever sapphire
#

but as you said, in aoe you do dmg without cooldowns also

#

aka hugging squid is a gain even there

grim jay
#

I mean it is, but grief still seems more appealing due to that

pseudo hamlet
grim jay
#

You know what you get, it has an aoe component, you can get prio damage and you can deal with stuff like Totem

grim jay
#

And ye, the sims are an average, but it can troll you if you "need" it

pseudo hamlet
# grim jay Wdym focus on, you just press it

That's exactly what I meant, a bonus thing I have to pay attention to. I also hate trinkets that have casting times or requires me to wait(such as Puzzle box from AA or Boon from Dathea).

rotund oak
#

huge bait

icy acorn
#

just cloak

limber lion
#

It's a channel

clever sapphire
#

if you dont press cloak and evasion and 2 shadowsteps when using boon you are doing something wrong

#

change my mind

limber lion
#

But it's worth the ass pain

#

Because it'a dank and big deeps

pseudo hamlet
# limber lion That's grieftorch right there

I don't like it, though it seems more "stable"(gives big agility passive and damage is just* one simple cast*, so the RNG aspect is almost zero compared to Neltharion), so that's my next to-buy this week.

limber lion
#

You say it's one simple cast but you'll end up cancelling the effect many many timea until you learn to take your hands off the keyboard whenever you press the button

pseudo hamlet
#

Didn't know about that! Thanks for the info. Thought it's like the Fyr'alath cast(cannot be canceled)

limber lion
#

Nope you definitely can

#

You press it and press w right after and it's donezo

What’s the best way to get a review on my damage? Post logs in here? I feel like I’m doing well since I have only been doing rogue for a few weeks and still low ilvl/keys… unless not really worth review until higher keys

Good times

I don't really believe we review m+ logs

I am pretty consistent 150-200k dps in raid or m+ at 502 ilvl

#

180-200*

For 502 that sounds good

i guess the ring is a really good option, specially for the defensive

#

is the cloak bad for m+?

hollow wren

idk, Davyn said it sucks in m+ so ye

but if u m+ player u should go for the ring

i probably go for cloak

Stealth can break from:

  • Evokers legendary buff expiring and bouncing back to the Evoker.
  • Ominous Chromatic Essence trinket on buff gain
  • Voice of the Silent Star when wearing it yourself
  • Misterweaver soothing mist when talented into Unison
  • Blossom of Amirdrassil (trinket) initial hot dropping/spreading
  • Vicious brand (Signet trinket self damage)

#

that's why you'll notice a lot of rogues who got the cloak from mythic sark chose to catalyze it

for a 535 regular cloak lmao

Just the highest ilvl main hand you can find

we play atrophic + wound in keys this weeke?

Never play wound as assa

#

Yeah, doesn't matter.

#

You can sim em to see which one is the best

#

But it's all gonna be within ~0.2% anyways

#

How important is it to stay over 150 energy for the sanguine blades effect

#

didn’t see anything in the wowhead guide about it

gusty mirage
#

you don't play around sanguine blades at all, it's just kinda passively there

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

and what about tea? sending last 6 seconds of kingsbanes but also i see logs of people sending with dance before kingsbane cast? is mastery buff snapshot on the kingsbane cast or? generally better to send extra teas (non last 6 seconds of kingsbane teas) outside cooldowns or with?

thorn fjord
#

I’ve only been sending Tea in KB window after second shiv

untold igloo
#

right but 3 charges so where are extras best put

thorn fjord
#

When you’re low on energy

slate crown
#

Mastery buff is not snapshotted into KB

untold igloo
#

is low on energy when pooling between cds better than tea for final 12 seconds of kingsbane tho

slate crown
#

AFAIK sims never showed that stacking up tea during the entire KB / DM was worth over just using on the final 6, people just started doing it cause they saw other people doing it

#

it "makes sense" to do it intuitively but you are potentially wasting energy from the tea doing it

#

So I don't know

untold igloo
#

idk either. but seeing as how bursty cd window is, i can imagine sending 2 teas for last 12 seconds of kingsbane with deathmark overlap even if you are 300/300 energy when u press both teas might just be better than sending at 150 energy between kingsbanes just for 1 more envenom chain

#

my brain would think that surely its better

slate crown
#

possibly, and many people do it so you'd just be with the rest of the pack doing it either way

#

Also in the opener (not every DM) you are at 3 charges so

#

every second you don't use tea is a second of wasted recharge time

untold igloo
#

ya especially for opener

slate crown
#

so there's value in getting it rolling sooner

thorn fjord
#

Feel like those extra teas may be negligible

slate crown
#

Personally I don't, but that's just because my muscle memory for the opener does not include a tea

thorn fjord
#

For my play style I much prefer having it between CDs to keep the buttons rolling

slate crown
#

so just from having the sequence ingrained in me I only do last 6 sec

thorn fjord
#

I’m still just following your weak aura tbh lmao

#

The less brain power being used the better for me

slate crown
#

But i'm also not a parse fiend peeposhrug

thorn fjord
#

But I’m dumb… I don’t bother with the pandemic Env debuff and just keep spamming Env as much as possible

#

Keeping in mind to not have the debuff drop

#

But not really caring much either

untold igloo
#

haha im no parse fiend, just like to know what's bis or at least try to figure out. with ashes and pot and lust, doin >1.5 million single target during opener, surely x2 tea for last 12 seconds of kingsbane is better than saving for chaining envenoms between cds when you're doing <200k

#

i mean that makes sense right

slate crown
#

Yeah

#

Just as a reflexive position though

untold igloo
#

im bad at math. we get 5th tea @ 2 min ye?

slate crown
#

many things that "make sense" don't bear out in sims

#

Not saying that's the case here, just a reflex I try to remember

thorn fjord
#

I’m still able to parse well given my play style

#

So it proves that it’s relative to the player

#

Somewhat at least

slate crown
untold igloo
#

right so, i would think bis for patchwerk would be 2 teas in opener for last 12 sec kingsbane, then 1 tea last 6 seconds next kingsbane, then tea #4 and #5 with 2nd 2 minutes, again for last 12 sec kingsbane

#

that's what my brain figures. for the rare longer fights maybe holding a couple or playin for aoe or w.e but for pure single target

thorn fjord
#

Sounds exhausting

#

@slate crown KB wa is still kosher right?

untold igloo
#

i mean its 5 buttons over 2.5 minutes

slate crown
#

Yah

slate crown
untold igloo
#

that do sound pretty bis to me

slate crown
#

but otherwise yeah

thorn fjord
#

We should get some keys in again this weekend @slate crown I need crests

#

Finally got double BSL last night but now I need to make another ring for M+

slate crown
#

Nice I'm down

untold igloo
#

also is meta still always sending finishers at 4+ combo points? it hasn't changed to 5+ has it

#

save for the 5+ which seems to be best for envenom buff into 2 mins

thorn fjord
#

Only time you’d mut at 4 is if you’re about to send DM

#

So your Env buff doesn’t drop

#

But yeah 4 cp

untold igloo
#

tyty

untold igloo
thorn fjord
#

Not sure I understand

untold igloo
#

seal fate gets u 4 combo points off of shiv+kingsbane going into 2 mins

#

do u garrote or envenom next gcd @ 4

thorn fjord
#

I meant the Env you cast prior to sending dm -> shiv -> sd -> kb

untold igloo
#

ye i got that one

thorn fjord
untold igloo
#

but answer is prob envenom right? cuz in general but especially in the opener, garrote there is wasted cuz it's not in pandemic range yet and u can just send next gcd right

thorn fjord
#

Right

untold igloo
#

i guess for opener but idk for @ 2 minutes cuz the garrote u have running isn't nightstaklered for the running deathmark but idk that's gotta be a tiny impact choice

thorn fjord
#

Really dependent on the fight and what’s going on

#

I usually try to model my 2m as close to opener as possible

#

Mostly because of muscle memory and having to think less

ancient tangle
#

on 5min+ fights the Brand is better than the Torch isn't it ?

grim jay
runic hinge
#

It’s barely better if no one dies. If you get one reset torch probably back ahead

ancient tangle
#

ok ty 🙂

clever sapphire
#

And there is no way nobody dies

#

There is always one cocky dps hungry person who dies from the most random shit

untold igloo
#

how does grieftorch work with sin? do any of our talents apply the its damage? is the first torch always sent after 1st cooldowns?

spice surge
#

Theres nothing that buffs its damage no

slate crown
#

Versatility? I thought vers boosted item damage

spice surge
#

And ye you just send it after cds

slate crown
#

(not a class thing)

spice surge
#

Ok mb i meant no talents buff it

#

Vers and crit definite buffs it

slate crown
#

Just making sure I understood right heh

vital wasp
#

Hey guys quick question: If kingsbane and deathmark dont line in m+ just always send kingsbane or wait for it to line with deathmark?

limber lion
#

That's kind of on you to make the decision

#

If you don't need to burst a mob, you might wanna hold like 20s for dm

#

If there is something to burst, might wanna send

#

Might wanna send even if dm comes in 10s if you know the mob would die before kb + dm would finish on the target

#

Might wanna send if you know a bosa is coming up and on which you wanna have em both ready for

#

So on

vital wasp
#

Ok makes sense

#

What would be the most dmg output if I dont have to consider the stuff you just wrote?

#

sitting on kingsbane for 30s or sitting on deathmark for 30s without using it

spice surge
#

Again, it depends

limber lion
#

But you have to consider it

#

Depends on fight length if we talk about patchwork dummies

#

Not really a black and white solution there

spice surge
#

If youre doing a big pull in like 1 minute, using a kingsbane and then holding deathmark is more worth, if youre doing a big pull in 30 seconds then its more worth to hold the kingsbane for the deathmark

placid wave
#

that's the fun part of what makes each key a little diff as opposed to most raid fights 😄

vital wasp
#

Okay I understand. Thank you very much guys for the detailled answers 🙂 ❤️

placid wave
#

and sometimes you'll hold thinking your tank is about to do a big pull and they single pull a pack and you cry

vital wasp
#

#

They’re both good during cd windows and one is a lot better

#

They lose a lot of dps not used with cd windows

Which is why it’s recommended ashes + grief

sub with dust is stinky tho

all the homies hate dust

Yeah I’m pretty sure I onyl vanished once lol

I didn’t get it

gusty mirage

it's okay

dust takes learning sub

runic hinge

I don’t mind sub tbh when I just play Db but dust isn’t that great to use. Too much thinking. My brain too smooth

gusty mirage

and makes it 1000 times more annoying

when you have to have a spreadsheet for timings

it's kinda cancer

runic hinge

Asssa much easier. Send everything on cd and don’t fuck up your shivs

If dust isn’t the main gameplay of sub in tww I’ll probably play it some

looking like you can avoid it

Dragon for the speed

drowsy lotus

Is it just bis because of higher ilvl lol

slate crown

It has the same ilvl as any other myth track

!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.
