for rogue i am like

Bring valeera back

vestal wren
#

dracthyr_shrug whatever is better, maybe ill just pick something if its less annoying to play even if its slightly worse

vestal wren
#

nothing agains shawn but he stinks

proven jasper
#

LMAO

normal mist
#

Well for me, once i knew the 2 hero talents for assassination were deathstalker and fatebound, My head was like "so imma be a deathstalker rogue then".

unreal parcel
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
normal mist
#

Because the theme seemed interesting

royal lantern
vestal wren
#

deathstalker is also the only talent with lore behind it

#

surprisingly goes back to vanilla

proven jasper
normal mist
#

Wait what did i miss about deathstalker then

#

i had no idea it had lore involved

royal lantern
#

thats why its plague dmg

proven jasper
#

Well the forsaken are deathstalkers yeah?

#

Yea

normal mist
#

Right...

#

im dumb

vestal wren
#

there you go, its not that much to read

normal mist
#

i thought there was another lore behind it besides the undead deathstalkers

proven jasper
#

Nah our lore is “plague damage”

clever sapphire
#

wait im an undead rogue since i started the game, so i am an original deathstalker

#

the stars are aligning

normal mist
#

"Deathstalkers are highly trained and extremely dangerous. The fact that they are undead helps them immensely in their role as assassins. As Forsaken; they have no need to sleep or even breathe air." This goes SO hard

clever sapphire
#

with my name even

"They can even pose as corpses, since by all means, that is exactly what they are"

Welp it seems that the smelling bad is resolved then

I love it when devs make things like this

Also, this is your commander - Belmont

#

These bits of lore are what make the game to me interesting

#

Having background lore to things helps with the immersion

#

And i'm pretty tired of being the damn champion that killed 412 gods

vestal wren
#

i assume this is where the plague idea comes from.

#

trivia is also interessting

thats a cool riding mount (plaguehound)

#

If i'm using sudden demise, should I reapply my bleeds before 35% so that they hit for a lot? or do they not work like that

#

I don't really understand it

spice surge
#

If you wanted to max the damage of exclusively sudden demise yes, but thats not the best play for damage overall. Better to just keep envenoming into the spatter target

#

Youre "losing" less damage when targets die before your bleeds have ticked out, so instead of losing all of the damage your bleeds had left you only lose 1/3

nimble zinc
#

you have found your true calling

clever sapphire
#

somehow im always dead in raid tho

#

must be a bug

nimble zinc
#

esp when the other dps are like "wtf, why did that guy just drop from 2mil to 0???"

ocean quiver
#

In keys that I don't care about I might just try see how high I can get sudden demise to get up to

#

before knowing this I think the highest I got was 1.9m

clever sapphire
#

go into an 8, press everything on the mob with the shock build, watch mob explode at 35%

ocean quiver
#

This is not the shock build

#

but biggest I did

#

didn't change anything

ocean quiver
#

Most damage i've done overall tho

clever sapphire
# ocean quiver

how did the one spec with the most instant dmg do the least dmg

#

That's a nice overall. Good job mate

ocean quiver
#

Wish I had more ilvl tho

#

be pumping way more

normal mist
#

It's a matter of time if you keep pumping like a madman

ocean quiver
#

I just always get declined in keys it's sadge

#

and I hate listing my own

clever sapphire

beat the fotm spec thats 8 ilvl higher than you by a mile, thats what we like to see

this time was with an aug so numbers are inflated and I died at the end too after I pressed every cd

Question regarding our apl.. i dont use ambush while kingsbane/shadowdance active - only with blindside?

clever sapphire
#

according to wowhead

#

also im pretty sure its like a 0.1-0.2% difference

woeful meteor
#

it doesnt rly matter iirc, it's basically margin of error

#

monkahmm had a normal pug today that managed to cast two different heroisms at the same milisecond, we got both buffs/exhautions. checked my character sheet and was at 99% haste back down to like 20-whatever% as they expired. never seen it before; does something like that invalidate logs?

normal mist
#

I mean, taking into account that it SHOULDNT work that way in case it did, then yes, log should be invalidated

fleet pagoda
#

yeah wasn't sure if anomalies like that were recognized lol. not that it matters, can't think of much worth less than my own normal mode log in meme season but just curious

normal mist
#

If you care about it, then it is

fleet pagoda
#

fair enough, edited myself to reflect it peepohappy already eating crow on that statement

normal mist
#

example: i had fun during s1 and s2 doing normal mode after being high gear

fleet pagoda
#

even with two heroisms rolling I did almost 100k dps less on Magm than Kazzara in the first 30s peepostudy examinin' it afterall

normal mist
#

Am i a good player? nah just a regular heroic raider xD

fleet pagoda
#

I'm sure you're owning in heroic too. didn't mean to belittle parses, should have made it more clear I was taking no value in my own

clever sapphire
clever sapphire
normal mist
#

So i dont really CARE that much about my parses in heroic

#

in normal there are no mechanics so i just zugzug

#

Aberrus, s2 HC

#

as you can see on sarka, something went south

#

It was me doing bombs

#

xD

#

I'm an OkayISH player in hc

#

Mostly try to do mechanics correctly

fleet pagoda
# clever sapphire probably wafting proc and kingsbane crits

i'm running sophic so that's probably it. wafting would still just be haste right? so probably wouldn't look too boisterous next to heroism doubled. but yeah good call that looks like the biggest difference between the pulls that i can discern

limber lion
#

Some people think that way about LFR, but not normal+. Some people like you think like that in normal, but not heroic+. Then a lot of people think about that for heroic, but not mythic.

#

Like for me Heroic and anything below it kinda just fits in the same bucket.

slate crown
#

It’s the closest I’ll ever get to stardom. I did the same earlier this season and got a 100 on some normals

#

Not that anyone looks at normal but

#

I looked

limber lion
#

But I'm also used to starting on Heroic and moving on to Mythic, so going to normal/lfr is just the same stuff with less annoyances

slate crown
#

In just mostly heroic gear

limber lion
#

Keep blasting

balmy condor
#

bit weird dontcha think

balmy condor
#

big heroic raider guy

limber lion
#

It's true

#

As washed as it comes

#

Tumble dry

normal mist
#

And honestly, i don't think i'd ever raid mythic. It looks like it requires a stable group, good schedules, eeeh not for me. I mostly pug stuff too after the first HC kill of AotC

limber lion
#

But the heavy investment is also why I stopped doing it, I just have no interest or time to play the game hours upon hours every day to get the absolute best gear and do content that I don't enjoy doing as much (Mythic+)

normal mist
#

My group is indeed like-minded... To do Aotc and "see you next season" xD

limber lion
#

Yeep that's perfect then

normal mist
limber lion
#

That's what's always been interesting to me. Making my character as strong as possible and improving my own skillset as much as I can.

#

With so many externals and whatnot in the game, it kinda ruins it for me. It's hard to tell what I did good and what I did poorly when dps fluctuates by so much because of Evokers and externals.

#

I wanna improve and get better and see progress and be the best that I can be

#

It's just not the same anymore

#

I enjoyed parsing and logging because it shows me clearly how I perform compared to others, and more importantly, how I compare today to myself in the past.

normal mist
#

Fortunately for me, I don't share that sentiment to the fullest :3

balmy condor
#

I enjoy parsing because I'm a narcissist that wants to look down on lesser creatures

#

my kingsbane crit and yours didn't

#

and so I'm better than you

#

shrimple math

normal mist
balmy condor
#

if you're playing in guilds at your level what are you doing

#

everyone knows the strat is to play in worse guilds

#

that way you can feed your god complex

normal mist
#

LOL

balmy condor
#

I mean it's just basic logic

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

that makes it a statistic

normal mist
#

At the time when i did this, it was r10 world, (heroic) and it was the first time my RL asked ME "Yo Royal, how're your CDS? Can we pop lust?" They waited for my CDs to pop lust and i really obliterated that boss at the time.

balmy condor
#

which is like

#

science or whatever

normal mist
#

I FELT like a GOD

balmy condor
#

you play in a competitive guild you're like middle of the pack

#

you play in a worse guild you get a syrup footjob under the table at dennys after raid

#

these are your two options

#

you'd be a fool to pick the first

normal mist
#

Option 3

#

I play in a guild where i meet my Raid leader / guild master whenever my glasses need to be fixed

#

And my tank lives nearby

#

and most of the other folk live in the same city as me

#

:3

balmy condor
#

nah, real life friends aren't real

These are

My RL bought my glasses because he knew i was having trouble at the time (money wise)

Thats why i don't want to leave my guild, i love these fuckers

lavish lodge
#

Hey Guys, are both rings viable? Diurna and Duty? in Guides Diurna is written, but the stats on Duty are better 🙂 is it just because the fire procs?

normal mist
#

Fire proc ring = normal stat ring + some fire dmg

lavish lodge
#

Simming says diurna 4,4% increase duty 1,8% because of the mastery i think

normal mist
#

It has to do with your status for sure yes

lavish lodge
#

fresh 70 no big gear

normal mist
#

then don't worry too much

#

Ilvl > rest

balmy condor
#

plenty of people use both

#

diurna just gets a shout cause it's free bonus damage

lavish lodge
#

yeah i think this will be the way

balmy condor
#

filial duty is just a ring

#

some extra ilvl

#

but not really special

#

it's really whatever

#

whatever the highest ilvl stuff you can find is good

#

and from there just sim

Hello everyone, good evening, could you honestly tell me what the current situation is with the rogue for m+ in the next exp?

abstract chasm
#

too soon to tell, they're waiting for reworks too

shy pecan
#

Reworks? HUHHH

#

Rogue needs bug fixes and things to be working before we can say much more

balmy condor
#

What I do know is that we’re definitely not waiting for reworks

#

It’s insane to think we’re getting reworks at this point

#

No one reasonable is waiting for that

quiet oar
#

Its also hard to predict M+ Meta, when they changed the whole M+ Affix System

fallen arch
#

Idk about that

#

Raid buffs and utility isn’t going away

#

Which means that some classes will always be more desirable than others

#

Looking at Augs, Mages, Priests

#

Don’t think the affix system has anything to do with it tbh

quiet oar
#

Well the affixes are compeltely different

#

now

fallen arch
#

I’m aware of that

#

But how would that new affix change the meta

quiet oar
#

Especially for your random keys

#

Itll be easier to get into a key

#

When Incorporeal and Afflicted are gone

fallen arch
#

I don’t think so

quiet oar
#

Idk my experience is, people want 3 dispellers in afflicted weeks

fallen arch
#

Ppl will fucking look at the high pusher meta and ignore the other classes anyway

#

Switching up affixes just means less annoying shit to deal with, the pug meta is not going to change. They’ll invite a fotm spec over anything else 10/10 times, whatever the affix may be

#

Don’t get me wrong, I think these changes are looking good but people’s mindset is not going to change

quiet oar
#

Well Obvious

#

There will be a meta

#

I just siad, you cant predict which Classes/specs will be meta

Because affixes and hero talents

“True rating” is crazy

rotund oak

as in alot?

balmy condor
#

As in tf does that even mean

rotund oak
#

yeah

#

that was my first impression as well

balmy condor
#

Like you would have the same percent with that much rating?

#

But you physically have more rating

grim jay
balmy condor
#

So what’s the point

rotund oak
#

no point rly

grim jay
#

For nothing relevant

#

At all

rotund oak
#

just irrelevant information

balmy condor
#

Incredible addon

grim jay
normal mist
spice surge
#

Its how much ""effective"" rating you have, as in exactly how much crit is counted for your percentage

balmy condor
#

If hypothetically the game was different and your gear wasn’t the gear that you have, you would have the same %

spice surge
#

So thats the number you'd divide by 180 to get the amount of mastery points/crit%/haste% you have 🙂

rotund oak
#

💀

#

we all know how % comes after drs

#

its nothing special

balmy condor
#

Cause he has 9800 mastery

#

That’s the number you divide to get mastery points

grim jay
spice surge
balmy condor
#

The dr is then applied in relation to those points that he has

balmy condor
#

Aight it actually hurts my head trying to explain how stupid that is

#

Whatever

#

Back to bed with my ass

clever sapphire
drifting cloud
#

just some imaginary world where 1 stat of something would be same as 1 stat of something else so the DRs would matter

#

but unless youre playing remix and havent capped them all yet mostly useless

quiet oar
#

But it has nothing to do with this here

clever sapphire
balmy condor
# clever sapphire its hurting my head trying to understand the addon and the explanation of how dr...

I will make an attempt for you pookie

Stats on gear get converted to actual % values. 100 crit on gear being 1% (just as an example). But mastery is a weird one cause it’s different on every spec in the game so what do you do? Well you do the same conversion, but instead of 100->1% mastery, it’s 100->1 mastery point->x%. For assassination it’s 1.7% per mastery point but that’s pointless number you don’t need to know.

Now, blizzard introduced diminishing returns to try and curb gear going crazy as fast as it did. From 0 to 30, you have no penalty, from 30 to 39 there’s a 10% penalty, from 39 to 47 it’s 20% penalty, etc etc. It’s basically tax brackets but for secondary stats.

Every spec in the game starts at 8 mastery points, and then gains from there, so the first 22 mastery points from gear, no issue, full value. Then you’re in the 30-39 bracket, so getting an additional 9 points from gear is actually 8.1 points due to the penalty. So you actually need 9.9 points to get 9 points of value, and reach that next breakpoint. Now you’re in the 39-47 range, so getting 8 more points would be hit with a 20% penalty, so you’d only get 6.4 points, and you’d need 9.6, etc etc.

The addon is trying to tell you where you are in those brackets, and then giving you a “true” and “lost” rating. The “lost” rating is kinda easy, it’s the math we just did where having X points of stats didn’t actually give you the value because of the penalty. The “true” value is the confusing part, because that shit doesn’t make any sense. It’s taking your actual mastery on gear, that you have equipped, taking away the “lost” value, and then spitting that number back out…. Which would be the amount of stat that you would need to have to reach the same percent that you do now with your current gear, if the diminishing return didn’t exist. Which it does. And you also don’t have that gear, you have more than that gear. So… why?

Can you put Subway Surfer in it?

rotund oak
#

bro farms everything in pandaland,cant read 3 paragraphs

quiet oar
#

so i can concentrate on it

clever sapphire
balmy condor
#

It’s 2.4% for evisc and 2.7% for rupture

#

Or something like that

#

But the mastery on your character sheet will only show the evisc number

#

So you’re actually getting free hidden bonus value on sub’s rupture

quiet oar
#

So what you are saying is

balmy condor
#

This game is not spaghetti

quiet oar
#

Spam Rupture

#

got it

balmy condor
#

And I think prot paladin double dips diminishing returns

#

Cause it’s mastery gives block

#

And block has its own DR

#

So you can DR the mastery giving a DR’d block

#

Very cool game tbh

quiet oar
#

Prolly the same for Crit and Dodge chance?

#

Or is it parry

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

Thinking about the vengeance one

#

Cause isn’t vengeance extra armor

#

Doesn’t armor dr

quiet oar
#

I think Armor is just a steep sacling

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

Idk

#

We’re reaching the end of my game mechanic knowledge

#

Armor isn’t my problem

quiet oar
#

I mean its technically DR too?

#

where as example 20K armor gives you 50% reduce

#

but 40K gives you idk like 70%

balmy condor
#

Yeah

#

But it’s not a rating DR

#

It’s just a DR on the hit

Just to be sure

he was doing 600k on pulls where other destros do 6M

also he did less dmg than a 513 frost mage

i dont even know how a 513 frost mage got into a 12

primal jolt
#

did you time it

glass hemlock
#

Key difference between cleave build and arterial shock build is losing scent and sudden demise yes?

#

Just reading on wowhead, looks more likely if I swap from arterial it will be to the hybrid build

#

Or just don’t swap 😄 haha

limber lion
#

Bleed build is just consistent damage on every pack and much better on lower keya

#

I would personally just play Arterial Shock everywhere

#

Unless you're playing 15+ keys

Yeah that’s what I thought as well I just wanted to make sure I was going the right direction

Is there a particular place that is recommended for guides on the sin rotation? Looking through pins, the post there is from 2023 so that would be a bit outdated

slate crown
#

Are you sure they're outdated?

#

The pin from 2023 is a Wowhead/icyveins link

#

Which remain accurate as guide sources

#

!guide

#

Nope, but it links to WowHead and IV. I ask because I know as a feral druid main, neither of the guides are all that great.

They're good for us.

Didn't know if there was a better place for sin as well

#

Awesome, thank you!

ocean quiver
#

I feel like i'm confused with all the different builds

#

This is the build i've been playing for most of my mythic+ keys (besides halls and ruby)

#

My main target is always dead before the first shiv is even over, so like still 6/7 seconds left on Kingsbane no matter what build i'm playing

woeful meteor
#

play higher keys then suskaygeagreegebusiness

#

Can't get into anything

I'll apply to groups for like 20minutes of just declines after declines

That’s the arterial shock build, minus you not taking Iron Wire

ocean quiver

Never noticed till you just told me, was wondering why they weren't getting silenced lmao

ocean quiver
#

Yeah it's sadge, main reason why I was playing tank this season, I get accepted into the first key I apply to

clever sapphire
#

list own key

#

problem solved

#

unless you get nokhud

#

you probably wont see many people apply there

slate crown
#

20 mins can be on the short end tbh

#

I've waited upwards of an hour before

#

Posting own key is the only way

works most of the time

hmmm peepostudy

So I am hitting ~230K on my ST opener, but as soon as I hit vanish toward the end of the opener my DPS tanks. Am I doing something wrong? Or does details just not like training dummies?

tyvm

limber lion
#

Man just needs Iron Wire instead of FC

#

Also with the bleed build you just slam garrys and ruppies and cts on everything and then kb

#

Sudden demise will do the rest

#

It's okay if targets doe before kb enda

leaden garden
#

super basic question, but does asa finish on minimum 4 or 5 combo points?

limber lion
#

That's why you play that build and not cleave

limber lion
#

It fluctuates a bit

#

In TWW it's 5+ always

#

Because of hero talents

#

It was 4+ because of tier set

limber lion
#

But usually it's max-1

#

Good answer

#

Now 4, tww 5

#

There you go

limber lion
shy pecan
#

Garrys and ruppies

ocean quiver
ocean quiver
#

I just do 2 garrotes into a rupture, then shiv deathmark shadowdance kingsbane

clever sapphire
#

thats something you would do with the cleave build

ocean quiver
#

actually crimson temp just after the rupture too

clever sapphire
#

and i think even with cleave you would spread rupture twice

ocean quiver
#

I almost never dot everyone up

#

especially in tyr weeks, the pack is dead so fast it's not even worth

clever sapphire
#

especially there its more worth to spread bleeds

#

to get sudden demise value

#

because your kb wont last even 5 seconds

ocean quiver
#

Hm

#

So I should just spread all my bleeds before bursting?

clever sapphire
#

i mean depends on pull, if its like 7-9 mobs i would easily garrote/rupture them all

ocean quiver
#

Gotcha

clever sapphire
#

before going into dm/kb

ocean quiver
#

Also

#

if I have deathmark coming off cd in say, 30sec, do I hold kingsbane or just send kingsbane

clever sapphire
#

if its like 30 mobs (academy first pull), i just spread garrote 3 times, rupture like 3 times and then i do the dmg

ocean quiver
#

maybe I will hit a bigger burst than 3.4m on algathar

clever sapphire
#

if its on bosses you hold

#

if its aoe and you think the mob would live for 30 seconds and then live another 20 with your dm/kb then hold

#

or if you know that a big pull is coming up i would hold

#

but if the next pull is boss i would send so i have the dm/kb combo for boss

#

its hard to answer this imo because so many things can change each key

ocean quiver
#

Yeah, just sometimes with running between packs I have kingsbane back and then deathmark has like 30-40 sec so I just send it

#

same with boss, was never sure

clever sapphire
#

on boss you always want to align dm and kb

#

in aoe its like whatever

limber lion
clever sapphire
#

i mean in low keys i would rupture even more

ocean quiver
#

Thing is tho they just like incredibly fast

#

even when I do what I normally do, the packs last like 15 seconds at most

limber lion
#

Exactly

#

Which is why you don't even think about KB

#

And just slam big bleeds

#

Which then SD will pop

#

Shiv everything

#

Under Zoldy range (35%), all bleeds and Shiv

#

Mobs go poof

clever sapphire
#

kb somewhat comes into play in keys like ruby where you have smaller pulls and a big mob every pull

#

halls i cant even find a kb/dm target in 8-10s before frog boss

ocean quiver
#

Do you guys have any logs of your damage

#

so I can compare to mine see what it's looking like

#

around the 8 key range

clever sapphire
ocean quiver
#

I did the thing by dotting everyone up and the most I did was 800k dps

#

then did what I normally do and did 1.4m on the same pack

glass hemlock
clever sapphire
clever sapphire
#

also pressing cooldown on the wyrms near vexamus also big spatter value

ocean quiver
#

Which I think was better too because it killed the main guy

#

(nokud)

clever sapphire
#

nokhud pulls are usually 2 garrotes, 2 ruptures (so both is on 5 targets) and then do dmg

ocean quiver
#

we did double pull in the first one

#

This was the overall

#

Ret with broken legendary

clever sapphire
#

i mean what also works is dotting up when you are gathering mobs, sending when you are done with it

ocean quiver
#

If mobs are gathering i'll keep dotting

#

like algathar

clever sapphire
#

also scent of blood exists which is gonna increase your dmg

ocean quiver
#

I just keep dotting till they all together then burst

clever sapphire
#

if you rupture more than once

ocean quiver
#

didn't even notice that talent ngl

#

just read what it does

#

but yeah in theory it should make me do more damage but with packs dying within seconds, there's almost no time to dot

#

you burst the one guy and hit 1m+ dps

#

or you can spend 10sec dotting and then only have dot damage

#

that's what it feels like to me

clever sapphire
#

i never really tried to optimise my dmg in low keys, i kinda just do whatever and watch videos

#

so maybe just sending is better

#

dunno really

ocean quiver
#

Yeah I gotcha

#

I just need more gear and rating before I can do the higher keys

clever sapphire
#

ye probably

#

like i tried the cleave build today in a 9 ruby

#

and the mobs died before i hit my last 5 sec on kb

#

every time

ocean quiver
#

Pretty much happens in every key i'm doing

#

but the damage even with kingsbane not getting full duration feels like it does way more

#

Same for algathar, when I dot the main guy and kb + dm the spread damage is almost instantly killing the small ads around so no one else can do damage 💀

#

522 SP and 523 Fury

clever sapphire
#

i mean i just kinda enjoy spreading bleeds so in low keys i just go full in on that

ocean quiver
#

this was the damage at the end

clever sapphire
#

even went internal bleeding instead of caustic dracthyr_kek

ocean quiver
#

Sheesh

clever sapphire
#

would not recommend

ocean quiver
#

tbf I was using the cleave build for the longest time till I joined this server

clever sapphire
#

but it was fun

ocean quiver
#

was just t he raid build

#

and I was still pumping kinda but again was just low keys

#

most overall i've hidden was 8 algathar tyr week

#

but yeah I mean I won't really know what's better personally until I do start pushing the high keys

clever sapphire
#

i mean technically shock build is the best for low keys

#

because of all the sudden demise value

#

cleave build worked for you probably because less ilvl = less dmg in your cooldowns = mobs living more of your cooldown

ocean quiver
#

Yeah true, well the images I just sent from that key was the shock build

#

but I started with the cleave build because I used Archon to copy the talents of the top players

#

which I later learn wasn't good because it's only used in keys above like 15

clever sapphire
#

also if you really feel like spatter is more of your dmg than spreading bleeds and sudden demise then you could go the hybrid build

ocean quiver
#

It's basically the most damage

clever sapphire
#

sudden demise is giving you the SD dmg, and increasing all of your bleeds dmg

#

the execute part is just something that makes your bleeds not go to waste on mobs that still have like 15 sec on them but die already

ocean quiver
#

Yeah, it was really good on the mobs before the bird boss, SD was always my top damage because everyone else would burst it when I put dots on so I would be top

#

then I pop all my cds on the next pack and hit 1.8m

clever sapphire
#

also cooldowns plus SD work well in low keys

#

i usually insta pop the worm at 35% hp in an 8

#

like the big one around vexamus

balmy condor
#

Wait that’s an insane amount of caustic damage

#

Holy

fallen arch
#

Its because of the first aa pull

#

And the tree boss

#

That combo gives astronomical spatter dam

I will just say this before i fall asleep, its a +3 so i assume you are early in learning assa. Either check out the wowhead rotation guide or watch whispyrs videos

Logging your combat is a very powerful tool, and the main way of finding mistakes and improving yourself. Logging your raid, mythic+, or even just when you hit a dummy can be great way to learn!
Here's some common things to look at for rogues:

Checking your resources/overcap: Table -> Resources -> Energy/Combo Points from the dropdown
Buff Uptime and trigger amount such as adr/envenom/symbols: Table -> Buffs
Checking casts: Timeline -> Casts (shows sequencing) or Table -> Casts (for cast overview)

slate crown
#

There it is

balmy condor
#

cause !logguide = !log in the bot parse

#

which ya know

#

cringe

restive marsh
#

Lmao learning this game is also learning all the plugins and tools too which is a lot

balmy condor
#

is what it is

restive marsh
#

thanks!

restive marsh
#

Damn this tool is really cool though

slate crown
#

Again, hard to know your exact casts because it's not a log, but just as a small bit based on the first pull, your first pull you spent a ton of time prepping bleeds and are really delayed getting KB out. You also cast a naked shiv well before cooldowns, then you swap back to the big boy (good target choice) then you use kingsbane then shiv.

The good: You do get some bleeds out before going into cooldowns, you select the right target after spreading bleeds.

the bad:
-(this first one is really important)you don't use Mutilate on your KB target so there's no spatter up, there's no cleave going off. It's extremely important to do this before your KB and during it to keep spatter up for the duration (really it should just be on your main target even without KB up).
-After getting ruptures out you spend 2 finishers on envenom that really don't need to be there and only wasted time in getting your CDs up.
-You sent a naked shiv before KB, and the only shiv you cast with KB was at the start of KB, not the end
-You didn't use deathmark, you only used KB.
-You didn't use Tea for the end of KB.

Thanks! that is already really helpful next time I will post a log haha

#

and just to clarify the first point I need to make sure to Mutilate right before and during kingsbane to maintain the splatter right?

ocean quiver
#

think I should be the one making youtube guides on assassin and writing the wowhead ones too

#

having that high spatter damage is a bad thing or good thing tho?

balmy condor
#

take it by all means, the money ain't worth the time kek

balmy condor
ocean quiver
#

:(

#

It's funny tho I record all my dungeons but for some reason that one didn't

balmy condor
#

oz pointed out that like in AA and stuff there's some good opportunities to crank caustic

#

but generally garrote should always be top followed closely by CT/Spatter/Rup/Sang

#

those 4 kinda go back and forth generally

#

but if caustic is that high it probably means you're sacrificing bleed damage to just single target slam 24/7

#

which like, it's fine

#

the high end meta sorta does that

#

but especially in lower keys that kinda just won't work

ocean quiver
#

his number uno was envenom ;o

balmy condor
#

well yes, but no

#

logs combine the tier

#

so his envenom combined is number one, yes

ocean quiver
balmy condor
#

but if we're comparing to a details breakdown, no

ocean quiver
#

this was my logs

#

his garrote is also below spatter

balmy condor
#

he's playing a single target heavy build yeh

#

can happen

ocean quiver
#

oh

balmy condor
#

he's got deadly and amp

#

so he's playing DTB

#

which cranks kingsbane damage much higher

ocean quiver
#

that was for an 8 too

#

assassin confusing

balmy condor
#

in m+ it is yeah

#

there's basically 3 builds, each one slightly more single target than the last

ocean quiver
#

Actually another thing so in the raid

#

I randomly burst almost 1mil dps

#

1 time

#

I have no clue why

balmy condor
#

ye

ocean quiver
#

I have never been able to hit that high since

balmy condor
#

your kingsbane crit

#

and you got good poison procs

#

that's what happens when you play one of the most rng specs in the game

ocean quiver
#

I say almost a million it was 890k

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

happens

ocean quiver
#

dang

balmy condor
#

everything procs on pull

#

you do big dam

ocean quiver
#

and then this was the end

#

💀

#

probably playing it wrong

balmy condor
#

that's what

#

2:19?

#

2:20?

#

seems about right

ocean quiver
#

Yeah

#

2:19

balmy condor
#

doubt you got your second burst off

#

at least fully

ocean quiver
#

Nah I didn't

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

get bent

nimble zinc
ocean quiver
balmy condor
#

this is the results

#

of 10 sims

#

same gear and everything

#

but it's 25 seconds, 1 iteration

#

basically just snapshotting what the dps is like 25 seconds into a pull, ten times

#

so like

#

RNG kekw

#

this one is 2 minutes 10 seconds

#

this one is 2:30

#

identical otherwise

ocean quiver
#

damn

balmy condor
#

(that's back to high iteration count, that's not 1 pull)

#

but like

#

if you're doing 1 pull

ocean quiver
balmy condor
#

your opener you missed some rng

#

and then you killed in 2:10

#

you just end up doing bad damage

#

and its completely out of your control

#

sometimes you have a good kill time, but you didn't have good rng during either cd phase

#

meh

#

the big parses will have both usually

#

a lot of the times, top parses even have quite easily spot-able mistakes

#

but god tier rng will beat out a couple % worth of bad play typically

#

just be like that

#

that's partly why it always makes me a little pissy when people are like "oh but insert top 5 log did XYZ, and look, they're cranking"

#

like yeah, XYZ is wrong, they're cranking cause they're in a cranker guild that's able to smash the boss and he's full padding with a demonic kill time

#

90% of that parse is not related to anything they're doing

#

it's a hard pill to swallow though for a lot of people

#

it's much easier to believe that what you're doing matters, than to accept that you can't control it

for the crimson tempest + amp build, do u actually recommend playing without vigor

balmy condor
#

you play vigor on every build

#

idk what ct+amp build you're referring to, but there exists nothing atm where you would drop tea or vigor

raven night
#

utilitarian one

#

unless the copy code is wrong

#

has double lethality acro stratogem

balmy condor
#

okay you got me

#

that one does drop vigor

#

the reason for that one is just cause it's less buttons and people had big problems with buttons and wanted acro

#

no one really plays it these days

raven night
#

ok yah thought it was just a wowhead thing lol

#

was jc

balmy condor

#

lowkey forgot that existed tbh

ancient tangle
#

Hi guyz, could somebody can tell me how blessing of autumns works on Assa rogues ?

balmy condor
#

When it’s on you, your CDs recharge faster

#

And you get them up 10 seconds earlier

ancient tangle
#

Ho ok but it works on all CDs ?

#

It's 30% of the cd and up to 10sec max ? Is that what you meant ?

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

So instead of 1 second every second

#

You get 1.3 seconds every second

#

1.3 seconds for 30 seconds is 39 seconds

#

So at the end of those 30 seconds, your cooldowns are 9 seconds ahead of where they would’ve been

#

No

#

Cause you’d apply the garrote, lose your improved garrote after 6 seconds

#

And the tooltip would just go back to normal

raven night
#

no its the target debuff

#

tooltip

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Uh

#

It would still change depending on mastery stuff

raven night
#

initially it was cuz i was leveling with assa and trying to see what the stuff did

balmy condor
#

But I guess sure

raven night
#

just dont wanna mess with my plater

balmy condor
#

It’s really confusing imo and you could just grab a standalone tracker

#

But I guess it works

raven night
#

wym with mastery stuff

#

once u have the dmg out

#

it cant go down unless u refresh right

balmy condor
#

Well if you gain or lose mastery the value would change

#

The 50% from improved garrote stays until you refresh

#

Everything else still changes

raven night
#

oh weird yah if i take off gear it live updates

balmy condor
#

Yeah

balmy condor
#

Np

ancient tangle
#

I would assume it has a minor impact on Assa ? (If there is only one autumn)

#

Since It would desync KB from Ashes

balmy condor
#

you would hold KB for ashes

#

so

#

just don't get autumn

ancient tangle
#

Ye ok that was I though 😅

ancient tangle
balmy condor
#

depends on what "good execution means"

ancient tangle
#

Flawless rotation

balmy condor
#

but I personally think rng is too heavy

#

assa on live is like a 15% swing

#

it's actually insane

ancient tangle
#

U mean there is a 15% average variation between flawless rotations ?

balmy condor
#

yes

ancient tangle
#

It's way too much yes

drifting wing
#

what makes it such a big gap? ambush procs?

ancient tangle
#

And I assume the variation goes up with the fight time length

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

are kinda the big 3

raven night
#

can u snapshot sophic procs, or are those dynamic like u mentioned earlier

ancient tangle
balmy condor
#

improved garrote is the only thing that isn't dynamic

Does feral druid play similar to assa rogue? I noticed they have hella bleeds, combo points, energy pooling, and stealth too

vestal wren
#

feral is probably the closest to rogue

dry grove
#

They both rely on pandemic timers and there is some snapshotting in the sin opener, but Feral relies heavily on snapshotting

#

And IMO, Feral is much easier.

vestal wren
#

with ns gone in tww, does this change?

normal mist
dry grove
normal mist
#

Isn't that because you're a main feral druid? :p

dry grove
# vestal wren with ns gone in tww, does this change?

I don't know how Feral is going to play in TWW to be honest. I don't have beta access. From what I gather it will play much the same except that they are slowing down the playstyle by slowing down energy regeneration. Beyond that I haven't payed too much attention and am just looking forward to working it out myself once the expansion drops

normal mist
#

That kinda sounds like what I have gathered about assassination rogue as well (also don't have beta)

dry grove
#

I really hate that too. The pacing of Feral and Rogue along with the complexity and niche mechanics are what makes these classes so fun to play for me.

#

Figuring out the bleed/execute build for AoE for example is a blast. That is not your average AoE playstyle in WoW 😄

normal mist
# vestal wren both can be difficult

Yeah absolutely, not downsizing feral playstyle. I'd just find it harder to react to stuff mid fight VS rotating CDs as they come like we have now

vestal wren
#

it rly depends on how random it is

#

and how much impact it has

normal mist
vestal wren
#

e.g. on assassiantion blindside procs are low reactive

dry grove
#

Probably has a lot to do with which style you have the most time with. For me, memorizing rotations and executing them perfectly every time is really hard

vestal wren
#

on outlaw pistol shot probably need more thought

strange python
#

Feral snapshotting also isn’t really impactful

#

Tigers fury has 90+% uptime

#

You only snapshot one proc

#

It’s not that big of a deal

dry grove
#

I snapshot the end of every TF

#

Gotta get them parses

strange python
#

Which end, tigers fury is off cd before your current one runs out kekdog

dry grove
#

Especially on raid bosses, I don't think it's as big of a deal in M+

strange python
#

Dunno you have 90%+ uptime so there really is rarely a rip that’s not snapshotted with tf

dry grove
#

Guess we play differently, I definitely have down time on TF

#

Not huge, but some

strange python
#

Well you should have 90+% uptime ^^

dry grove
#

Wish I was home so I can look that up in my logs 😦
