yeah steve the janitor caused this

normal mist
#

It's a take

haughty flicker
#

i fucking hate steve

slim hamlet
#

I mean, as far as I know, at least with fatebound you would play basically exactly the same as you do now right?

#

Besides m+ with SBS maybe

oak eagle
#

and then when we get our rework, we will be nerfed due to us getting more external buffs again instead of nerfing those external buffs

slim hamlet
#

and idk about you guys but I like current assa

balmy condor
#

I enjoy delves

normal mist
#

Same

gusty mirage
#

I blame myself

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

delves are fun tf

#

who's hating on delves

slim hamlet
#

I have never been more bored than watching delves

tropic cedar
#

is the idea with the 2nd shiv in each set to not let it drop or to reapply as soon as it drops? what should i be aiming for?

gusty mirage
#

imagine trying to have a serious conversation with aurhrorhrorhorhrohrorahora

spice hawk
normal mist
#

The same people hating on devs

fallen arch
#

Germany is affecting @balmy condors judgement

gusty mirage

"than watching delves"

Blessed day for real

tropic cedar

ye just started relearning it yesterday after not playing it since SoD

#

kek

spice hawk
#

Following up with that, actually. Are we vanishing during KB to re-up a bigger Garrote?

tropic cedar
#

yes

#

well

#

from what i know you vanish into your 2nd cd set

#

for imp gar

slim hamlet
#

I thought we would use it with DM again without SD now

gusty mirage
#

well kingsbane is 1 minute, and DM is two minutes

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

so every other kingsbane you have DM

#

@slim hamlet

gusty mirage

Yep

peepee poopoo some might say

gusty mirage
#

I would say that, how did you know

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

or something like that

gusty mirage
#

you know what they say, if you can't beat them, beat off to them

slim hamlet
#

They do actually say that

tropic cedar
#

beat off to mages and spriests? HUH

slim hamlet
#

I've heard it at least once now

gusty mirage
slim hamlet
#

This is crazy work

tropic cedar
spice hawk
#

Gotta use the opposite hand

slim hamlet
#

wat

gusty mirage
#

idk that was a pretty straight forward sentence

#

if you're normally a righty, use your left, if you're normally a lefty, use your right

slim hamlet
#

Wait you guys don't use your feet?

normal mist
#

Wait you guys have feet?

slim hamlet
#

Wait

slim hamlet
#

What

oak eagle
#

wait

#

you guys have legs?

slim hamlet
#

Hmm

#

Only in assa chat

oak eagle
#

well yeah

slim hamlet
#

How did we end up like this

oak eagle
#

the other chats would be even more degen

slim hamlet
#

How did all poor souls end up in the same spec

gusty mirage
oak eagle
#

because we hate ourselves

#

oh god, not the stepsis

tropic cedar
#

or dooming like outlaw chat?

gusty mirage
#

this entire discord's been straight cooked for the last 4 months

#

lmao

#

it aint just assa bud

slim hamlet
#

Damn

#

Good thing I came back then

#

I can fix you don't worry

gusty mirage
#

you ain't fixing me

#

I quit 2 weeks into s4

#

I fixed myself

oak eagle
#

i wish people could fix me

slim hamlet
#

I am that hologram woman from bladerunner fr

oak eagle
#

but i still play rogue

gusty mirage
#

rogues 🤝 mentally ill

oak eagle
#

^

spice hawk
#

By this discord's standards, I am unfixable, because I chose to play rogue 2 weeks ago (moving off Warlock and Evoker)

slim hamlet
#

wow players 🤝 mentally ill

gusty mirage
#

@spice spire load up the infamous quote when I flamed my mage in 9.0

tropic cedar
#

mentally ill? i was told it was just ADHD NOOOO

slim hamlet
#

Does ADHD count as mentally ill?

spice hawk
#

We need one for raid, and I enjoy rogues

oak eagle
#

Warlock looks strong and Evokers are just a cheat code

#

fair

#

i offered to switch to sham for my guild

royal lantern
oak eagle

but no one else wants to play rogue

gusty mirage

damn quake's busy

oak eagle
spice hawk
#

I'm going to have alts for keys, so it's not like I'm one-tricking

gusty mirage

I'll have to do it

slim hamlet
limber lion
#

The classic

royal lantern
#

cus like

Devestation is cool, and preservation is the best desinged healer in the game atm

#

its just aug that is a giant mistake

#

and needs alt+f4 asap

gusty mirage
#

remember friends, always flame your mages into quitting the game and going back to classic

slim hamlet
#

If pres wasn't poopoo range it would be best designed

gusty mirage
#

it's the melee way

slim hamlet
#

Until then disc is easy choice best healer

spice hawk

#

Aug fun in m+, peepeeing on myself in raid

Same with disc priest

and blizzard went "oh we should make a spec that's all externals"

royal lantern

tawny junco

In prepatch if SBS is alreaedy on the target, in which case do we prefer using SBS over mutilate?

earnest remnant
#

isnt sbs passive?

oak eagle
#

isnt SBS passive now?

slim hamlet
#

Isn't sbs passive?

normal mist

Yes

slim hamlet

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
normal mist
#

12 = 22 pretty much

slim hamlet
#

Oh

#

Thought it would be higher

opal geyser
#

Hey maybe a dumb question but with deathstalker will the gameplay loop be centered around holding cooldowns for that first empowered envenom and trying to get in a 2nd/3rd while CDs are running?

Hey im one of those even have a pretty certificate from my doctor thats says Paranoid schizophrenic

slim hamlet
#

Welcome to rogue

#

You've found your place

spice spire
#

I’m not above making it real

kindred breach
#

I mean wtf are they doing with lingering darkness man

kindred breach
#

Why

slim hamlet
kindred breach
#

Why buffing such a horrible talent

spice spire
#

Damn I hope your medication forever works for you - schizophrenia is very scary even as a simulation. Can’t imagine homie.

slim hamlet
#

Why wouldnt they buff a horrible talent

spice spire
#

If talent bad talent buff to be good thonK

slim hamlet
#

What we cooking

spice spire
slim hamlet
#

How you make your dressing

#

And don't you dare tell me you take it natty with no lube

kindred breach
#

Your right what was i thinking about kekdog

desert cove
#

like the bottom fold I mean

spice spire
#

Why would I not

#

??

desert cove
#

good

slim hamlet
#

See, this is why I stopped making burritos, too many sweats

spice spire
#

It was also a double tortilla

desert cove
#

listen I've known some freaks in my time

spice spire
#

So like

#

If I don’t

#

That shit is going everywhere

#

Because I have to cool > reheat since it was a prepped one

desert cove
#

what kind of hot sauce do you add to it?

slim hamlet
#

The hottest of them all

desert cove
#

outlaw tears?

#

You guys making words up, thinking we won't notice

normal mist
#

True

desert cove
spice spire
#

Eh. It’s vinegary to me, I like the green tho. If it’s at home I’ll do a whiskey smoked ghost or something

#

But I can’t have fire coming out of me at work

slim hamlet
#

Nah I will eat hot as fuck food and sweat everywhere

#

no fucks

#

Worth

desert cove
#

I like the more vinegary taste to it, as I also drink kombucha so it fits

spice spire
#

I love kombucha and chalula is good I just find other things better

glacial lantern
#

Does serrated contribute to energy?

slim hamlet
#

With what?

desert cove
#

no, just gives cp refund iirc

glacial lantern
#

I see

slim hamlet
#

Venomous Wounds is specifically Garrote and Rupture

normal mist
#

No one talked for 21 minutes, y'all waiting for energy or something?

vestal wren
#

just take a sip of your dracthyr_tea, instant energy.

limber lion
#

Finally some peace and quiet

#

Don't ruin it

ionic matrix
#

I may be late to the party, but it seems like dropping ER for 1 point in subterfuge might be really good in m+ if you are getting broken out before stealth goes to ticking aoe damage or something very often.

#

I havent played a lot of sin m+ so may be completely wrong

#

not sure how often that becomes a problem

limber lion
#

You don't really get thrown out of stealth that much

#

Improved Garrote works for 6s even without Subterfuge

#

Same as IC

#

We don't need Subterfuge to function whatsoever

ionic matrix
#

do you lose the extra cp generation from shrouded?

#

not that it really matter

#

would rather have ER

vestal wren
#

nope, you essentially only get to use ambush

limber lion
#

No, Shrouded works as well

vestal wren
#

as a "benefit", and probably don't want to use ambush over mut

ionic matrix
#

yeah, def not worth

limber lion
#

But yeah, you shouldn't get thrown out of stealth that much. Usually ticking dots like corrupting rage, won't take you out of stealth

#

There are some bugs and effects that might, like the Sark cloak

#

But those are gone the next patch anyways

#

We're chilling

opal geyser
#

(Not that I'm running subterfuge just curious about this statement)

limber lion
#

it does

#

Ambush just numerically is worse

#

Mutilate does so much more. Applies poisons better, gives more cp

vestal wren
#

mut is also more overloaded, there isn't that much additional things you get from using ambush

limber lion
#

Ambush can be better here and there and only when played together with Improved Ambush

#

But Mutilate is kinda king

opal geyser
#

Oh. I thought we're running improved ambush and blindside like almost all the time atm

slate crown
#

Blindside is an energy talent

opal geyser
#

At least I was running it for keys instead of the 4x poison build

slate crown
#

It's good because it gives you reduced cost on it

#

not because of the ambush damage

autumn valve
#

Hi there, what do you think of the rogue assa buff??

soft shale
#

more buffs will come

#

also deathstalker kekw

strange python
#

Shirley more will come

soft shale
#

anyone wanna bet we get some more doubles and triples

#

although i wonder what number will be the final one on fatal intent

limber lion
#

Improved Ambush however doesn't go hand in hand with Blindside

#

But they did nerf Tight Spender recently, which is why Improved Ambush is starting to come up again

#

The past 2 seasons we have kinda only played Tight Spender

rare jackal
#

was mutilate better during shadow dance in season 3 ? 🤔

limber lion
#

If you played Tight Spender, yes

slim hamlet
#

Right?

rare jackal
#

huh im a noob then

opal geyser
#

I was still very new at that point and ran improved ambush with blindside almost all the time

limber lion
#

It went from "Mutilate during Zoldyck Kingsbane" to "just Mutilate always whatever"

slim hamlet
limber lion
slim hamlet
#

Idk the % but like nothing

limber lion
#

Less than 1%

slim hamlet
#

I was expecting like 0.2%

slim hamlet
limber lion
#

It was around 0.4-0.6% ish iirc

slim hamlet
#

Damn

#

Not too shabby

limber lion
#

It's a bit difficult to say because changing the talents also means changing the rotation and changing enchants/gems

#

Anyways small stuff

#

Improved Ambush good now

#

Or rather, Tight Spender not as good anymore

slim hamlet
#

I like when the "improved" generator you only get in specific scenarios is actually better

#

I thought tight spender would be better when we got to a new expac with less stats

#

Did it get changed or just don't need as much energy?

opal geyser
#

I've noticed at times I'm getting a ridiculous amount of blindside procs below 35%, like way more than I would expect. Probably just anecdotal but not sure whats causing it compared to s4

limber lion
#

It was nerfed yes

#

It's 6% now instead of 10%

slim hamlet
#

Gah dayhm

#

ripbozo fr

limber lion
#

But I think I heard the same thing in S4 as well

#

Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't I guess

slim hamlet
limber lion
#

Yes

slim hamlet
#

I am confused then

limber lion
#

But people are saying they get Blindside procs with every other hit

opal geyser
#

Yes but just anecdotally its proccing like 70% of the time in execute range

limber lion
#

Like much more often than what's said on the tooltip

slim hamlet
#

Yea

#

Maybe they stealth buffed it back to what it was

#

a little oopsie from the intern

opal geyser
#

I was wondering if ambush was doing the double hit like mutilate was and each hit had a 35% chance or something

slim hamlet
#

Since they were goofing around with the ambush stuff or whatever it was

slim hamlet

#

Crazy how much prepatch has thrown off my stat weights. I've gained so much dps

thorn fjord
#

Everyone has

#

Hi friends

slim hamlet
#

Hi dieslow this is friend

opal geyser
#

Well we've also just gained bonus secondary stats on every piece of armor

thorn fjord
#

Ele sham and arms war are bussin rn

limber lion
#

not the stat weights

slim hamlet
#

Stat weights on assa rogue

#

Assa has to be the least affected by stats in the game right?

limber lion
#

Could be very likely

#

It's all the same

slim hamlet
#

From worst to best was like 7%

#

And saw someone say its 2% now?

limber lion
#

The reason people are doing big damage now

#

Is because Assassination was aurabuffed by like 42%

slim hamlet
#

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

#

can't be that

limber lion
#

not because of stat weights

slim hamlet
#

Must be the stats

limber lion
#

lol

#

I’m sitting at 94% mastery

#

It’s insane lol

#

limber lion
#

I have never known what my stats look like

slim hamlet
#

The only way to get KB back to it's glory

limber lion
#

because I don't look at them

#

because it doesn't matter

slim hamlet
#

2000% mastery

subtle tundra
#

prepatch is a joke

limber lion
#

I could be sitting at 0% haste or 98% haste

#

I wouldn't know

thorn fjord
#

I just look to make sure I have all buffs up etc

slim hamlet
#

I feel like crit is the only one you feel

thorn fjord
#

I tend to forget things or fuck up lol

slim hamlet
#

And vers specifically in dungeons

limber lion
#

Like what are you looking for there

thorn fjord
#

Numbers being off

slim hamlet
#

What if he just likes looking at it

thorn fjord
#

Easier than sifting through the billion buffs at the top right of the screen

slim hamlet
#

Is this a crime in 2024?

limber lion
#

But like what buffs

slim hamlet
limber lion
#

What buffs are we talking about

limber lion
thorn fjord
#

Raid buffs, flask and runes

limber lion
#

I never have to look at that

thorn fjord
#

IMMERSION BRO

limber lion
#

Because when the raid leader slams a ready check, you get a massive notification in the middle of your screen

slim hamlet
#

Bro is playing in VR with a steering wheel

limber lion
#

that has everything in grey

#

then you go

#

oopsie daisy

#

flask, food, runes, slam

#

I think it's a BigWigs feature

#

or something else

slim hamlet
#

Yea

runic hinge
#

Mrt

thorn fjord
#

Are you making fun of my OCD? kekdog

slim hamlet
#

Definitely a thing integrated

limber lion
#

mrt right

thorn fjord
#

Yeah mrt

slim hamlet
#

yea it might be mrt

limber lion
#

and suddenly all the stats are completely different

#

then you can't tell either way

slim hamlet
#

He studies it for an hour to make sure it's imprinted

thorn fjord
#

Lolol

#

PRESENT THEM PAL

slim hamlet
#

Yo that's crazy, suddenly I am sitting on 94% mastery too

#

cough

thorn fjord
#

😂

gusty mirage
#

do you need medical assistance

thorn fjord
#

He needs some deez

gusty mirage
#

some of deez what

slim hamlet
#

Yea my doctor prescribed me with Oxi

#

Apparently it's some new medicin

#

How does the tuning feel for Deathstalker? I don't have beta access to test

limber lion
#

The tuning?

#

It's pretty op

#

Like very strong

slim hamlet
#

Whispyr said it was as good as fatebound, then it got a 4-5% buff so

#

that

limber lion
#

But feels pretty shit to play

thorn fjord
slim hamlet
#

Hit enemy -> profit

thorn fjord
#

Ive seen a number of people saying the play style blows for DS

#

Not sure what it is tho haven’t looked

#

Open with ambush, rest of the rotation identicle?

slim hamlet
#

#

Hmm

#

No rush in figuring it out now anyway… stuff is bound to change

#

For my peanut sized brain anyway

gusty mirage
fleet pagoda
#

I just hope they can make it work with hypercharged combo points so we don't have to skirt around them

slim hamlet
#

So like, should I actually resub or should I take the chance I have and actually just not play

#

But the void beckons

thorn fjord
#

Only reason I’m continuing to play is my guild

#

I’d miss the homies too much if I stopped

slim hamlet
#

I am likely gonna have to find a new one

fleet pagoda
#

the void kekw's

slim hamlet
#

They got 2 rogues and no way in hell we playing 3

#

Actually we have played 4 before

thorn fjord
#

Uhdk angle surely

slim hamlet
#

DK is definitely the most intriguing dps spec besides assa

#

But I feel like if I don't play assa I just don't raid

#

and if I don't raid I just don't play

fleet pagoda
#

just become an RPer. ezpz

slim hamlet
#

Sorry I only RP in helldivers 2

#

You will find me fighting for democracy for real in there tho

thorn fjord
slim hamlet
#

Like I LOVE to push m+

#

But if there is not also raid it just doesn't work

haughty flicker
#

Ye my guild decided to not raid so the chances of me playing tww plummeted lmao

#

If I’m not raiding I’m not playing wow

slim hamlet
#

Just find new one

thorn fjord
#

M+ gets boring quick… I’ll push past 2500 then just not care unless I need gear

slim hamlet
#

I only stop playing m+ once finding groups gets too hard because I still pug 95% of my keys

#

Having the raid also breaks up the flow of doing that over and over again, along with ofc having extra loot to make pushing easier

thorn fjord
#

PVP angle maybe?

slim hamlet
#

Hell the fuck no

thorn fjord
#

Been wanting to get back in to arenas also.. haven’t done so since bfa

slim hamlet
#

PVP is reserved for really good tmogs or earth ele legendary shaman in SL

#

PVP is fun as healer, but I only like disc right now, which is not fun in PVP

thorn fjord
#

Interesting

slim hamlet
#

I know disc is popular to play in pvp but I just dislike it a lot

#

rsham and rdrood are my goats tho

how is rogue looking in TWW? ive heard a lot of people dooming about it..

limber lion
#

Sin looks the same

#

Fatebound entirely passive

#

Deathstalker a bit annoying to play with, but super strong

limber dagger
#

Same as in, quite good?

limber lion
#

Yes very much so

#

Still plays the same

#

If you like it now, you'll like it in TWW

limber dagger
#

do you know about the other specs aswell?

limber lion
#

Outlaw has seen the most changes. Sub has seen some, but not that many. I think it's best if you check out their respective channels and the pins there

So the only thing an extra vanish charge gets you (mind you it costs 4 points to get it) is some extra imp garrote uptime outside of cds

#

Which is very very unimpressive

Yea that makes sense, thank you

balmy condor

Yeah I wonder

limber lion
balmy condor
#

Fun fact

#

When the first boss tree guy swaps to friendly

#

If you have a mark on him

#

It poofs

#

And you lose a hero talent tree for 2 minutes

gusty mirage
#

lmfao

limber lion
#

Brother

#

What have we done to deserve this

balmy condor
#

Fun fact

main solar
#

Peak class design

balmy condor
#

When the 3rd boss in the necropolis jumps away

#

He removes all debuffs

limber lion
#

gonezo right

balmy condor
#

And your mark poofs

limber lion
#

:)))

#

I guess it is time to play double vanish

limber lion
#

so you can vanish whenever Blizzard decides to remove the mark

balmy condor
#

Also

#

In mists

#

When you’re fighting the labyrinth boss

#

And you have to swap to the clones

#

But you still have 1 stack of your mark left

#

So you just dump an envenom into the now-immune boss

#

Because you want your mark

#

So you get the capstone

#

And then join your party on the clone

#

And you rupture

#

And then you build to a 7cp envenom

#

And the clone dies

subtle tundra
#

and then it died!

balmy condor
#

And refreshes your capstone timer

#

So you waddle back to the boss

#

Having done nothing

#

I will say, when it works, it’s fine

#

But sometimes you stealth->ambush really quickly

#

And it doesn’t apply

#

Cause xD

#

And sometimes you lose the mark

#

And the time it takes to swap to anything is insane

#

So like if you can get around the 4-5 quirks and painful situations that happen literally all the time

#

Then it’s okay

#

Tree is decent

#

Just very boring and dumb and the mark is in no worth playing around

limber lion
#

I love it when the thing that's supposed to be cool and exciting is instead thing that torments me every time I go to sleep and every hour I'm awake

royal lantern
#

make it apply with rupture, jesus fucking christ

#

so many frking problems would be solved

#

so many

limber lion
#

Deathstalker actively ruining the gameplay, the flow and everything is just not it

spice surge
#

Not the flow pepehands

main solar
#

Even "ok" and "decent" is a pretty huge miss for what hero talents are supposed to be.

subtle tundra
#

the fact that its possible to NEED to have to use mutilate 3 times and then envenom to get the hero talent to APPLY

#

suck my cock

subtle tundra
#

OI MATE

limber lion
#

if you're really, really, really unlucky

subtle tundra
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

royal lantern
#

like

#

why is it max CP FORCED

#

just make the next envenom/evisc stronger

#

if its worth it, people would go max cp anyway

#

instead of frking forcing is akward in

limber lion
#

Looks like around a 1.6% chance with 40% crit to end up mutilating 4 times in a row

#

So probably never ever gonna happen

subtle tundra
#

doesnt sound like a lot, but its something you will notice

limber lion
#

but when it does, that's gonna be glorious

balmy condor
#

Idk how big the envenom capstone is

#

Or the mutilate buff

simple gyro
#

assuming they fix the hookups, just come up with some f******* way to make it work without stealth ambush

limber lion
balmy condor

But my melees did more than my mutilates

#

I mean the way theyve made the talent it cant really work with a bunch of shit because then it just lags out the game

#

So its just stuck being terrible

subtle tundra
#

kinda what i meant

balmy condor
#

They could batch it to once every 0.5 seconds

haughty flicker
#

deathstalker is a social experiment

#

will people take the tree that does more damage but actively makes the spec worse

thorny onyx
#

What talent builds would u recommend trying out in m+ in TWW beta atm?

haughty flicker
#

or will they do less damage and take the passive tree

balmy condor
limber lion
#

Like they really need to give Fatebound a good bump for it to be a viable option

#

But I guess you can't get to the high Deathstalker sim numbers if the game decides to just delete marks here and there willy-nilly

balmy condor
#

Just sit on the capstone man

#

And pray you don’t hit 7cp or your spec doesn’t work

#

And also don’t worry about the mark uptime you’re losing

#

Very simple

limber lion
#

:))) sounds exciting

#

Good thing we still get extra FOK and MELEE dam even if we don't play around the marks

#

losing those two would be terrible

subtle tundra
#

ill fok in st even if its a dps loss to get value out of the talent. cant let it be wasted

limber lion
#

Don't worry, it's looking pretty good

#

Go ahead big boy

#

Slam that FoK

subtle tundra
#

i think ive heard someone fok in st before, ahead of the curve i guess

limber lion

Gotta play around marks though to get the big juicy single FoK

make the capstone not require 7CP? Make it 5 so the talents don't affect it so to speak? idk

and they dont do it

balmy condor

I'm not a fan of the Rupture idea personally

balmy condor
#

Make it apply from any generator if you don’t have a mark

dont make it so we're bound to a target. completely remove the hero talent and build it from 0.

Here’s a concept

Make fatal intent the mark

subtle tundra

idk why blizz didnt think of "20% mut damage from behind", its deathSTALKER

#

its thematic

#

we love restrictions

#

and generator damage? ohhh mama

blindside applying the mark would be more a bandaid at this point, i suspect a later patch ripup at this point

The idea that these trees are evergreen and we have to play them in future expansions as well actually scares me. Deathstalker absolutely needs to be on the top of their list for "full redesign" in a future patch. Like give us something that actually looks like it had clear thought put into it and wasn't rushed out at the end of alpha just so there was something to release.

thats.. not even a bandaid thought ThinkCool

i uh may have farmed up the death stalker title for reasons

raven egret
simple gyro
#

i was thinking of bandaids til they actually decide to actually give the hero tree some actuall attention

main solar
#

It really just comes down to the fact that we're too late into the beta cycle for any functional changes. So if they're going to do any of that in a future patch, just go big instead of a bunch of bandaids to a clunky and not well thought out tree

raven egret
#

I am 100% on the side that our hero trees needs to be nuked, and started back from the ground up. Throw in Oracle into that pile while we're at it, get the priests on side

lowkey

#

it would actually be bad to take Blindside if it did

you'd not want to randomly add stacks in lieu of more capstone procs

maybe if it didnt somehow refresh the mark, it could work

and, you know

make it even worse in m+

cus you would need to spam mutilate for a blindside proc

until you get a mark

#

lol

simple gyro
#

well derping with sub on a dummy, it might work

sub, spamming SS doesnt reapply the mark, but if you have the darkest night buff, that overrides any mark you might have consumed some stacks of it appears

!restealth

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why restealths aren't as important as you might think:

  • 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
  • You can add in some sanguine/rupture value from carnage, but chaining allows for higher uptime and smoother energy overall, eliminating a lot of ramp at the start of a pull
  • This is compounded by the fact that you simply do not lose that many restealths (chain heavy spiteful weeks are only about -30% on stealths)
  • You still have vanish which gives you plenty of options to get your stealth effects
  • This has been supported by logs and by simulations, for many years

!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.

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
