hi, how can i find the deathstalker talent build codes for ttw beta ?

#

since the tww chanel is clipped

hexed frost

Yeah remind me how one button every 45 is so difficult

hoary remnant
balmy condor
#

there are no specific builds for hero talents

waxen oyster
#

idk what the guy’s point was

waxen oyster
#

sin the dot spec has ramp up time?

#

its almost like thats how dot specs work

hoary remnant
#

You want in m+ always 3 rupture off (no shit) and then BP until you have no deathstalker mark anymore and use then with evis the capstone. Then again keep ruptures up and black powder.

waxen oyster
#

These people would have not survived

#

without IC and you had to manually tab rupture

hoary remnant
waxen oyster
#

IC is a god tier talent dont get me wrong

Catching up in RL to ingame level is scary 😄

does any1 know why the brackenhide tree boss just explodes when it goes into the shield phase btw?

flint marsh
#

its extra hungry so eats itself

ancient tangle
#

is this normal on a nyalotha farming on a 20 sec opener ?

ancient tangle
#

oh

#

sanguine blades is our main source of dmg now ?

unborn yacht
#

No, just odd interactionw ith old content

ancient tangle
#

ah yes ok

unborn yacht
#

happens with enh shamans who go lightning build

ancient tangle
#

ah ok the spells scale odly i guess

hoary remnant
#

when pressing evis

ancient tangle
#

might be a special joke no peepohappy

#

but for assa its not a details bug no ?

clever sapphire
#

nah its just sanguine blades doing big dmg for some reason

still creek
#

Same with arcane touch of the magi, broken in old content

clever sapphire
#

early S3 sanguine was double dipping on dps increase moments so you just had sanguine almost your top dmg at like gnarlroot

#

so its probably still bugged for old content

spice lagoon
#

Alright boys how ya’ll liking those new buffs for rogue

#

They about to come out with

clever sapphire
#

you mean the deathstalker buffs?

spice lagoon
#

Go to wow head they said sum about buffing rogue and making mages shit

slim hamlet

So we cooking anything good in here?

#

I'm feeling hungry

He’ll yes sin is gonna be cooking

assa gonna be strong ?

slim hamlet

Actually 0 people knows

ancient tangle

ah lol x)

slim hamlet
#

They aint close to done with tuning

normal mist
#

Probably not even blizzard knows

slim hamlet
#

^

ancient tangle
#

okay

#

😂

slim hamlet
#

Maybe during heroic week we will know

normal mist
slim hamlet
#

But only maybe, because then there will be adjustments too

ancient tangle
#

but looks promising ?

normal mist
#

Define promising?

#

Because Assa gameplay had little to no changes to his core gameplay

#

Even with hero talents

slim hamlet
#

Only thing you can rly look at, is if we can take talents that doesn't make us ONLY ST or ONLY AOE, aswell as just how different dmg profile you can do + if the fights needs burst, if we have it, stuff like that.

ancient tangle
#

promising in gameplay and output

normal mist
#

you know that

#

output = numbers = strong/weak

slim hamlet
#

I wanna make you weak

normal mist
#

That we already answered

slim hamlet
#

fr

#

And gameplay i answered before you asked

#

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

slim hamlet
#

🧢

#

People hate deathstalker

normal mist
#

"people hate" and most of them don't even have access to beta

ancient tangle
#

i liked it in s4 but echoing reprimand is not really my favorite gameplay

slim hamlet
#

Well just saying what everyone is saying, haven't played and I think it looks nice

normal mist
#

I haven't played it as well

slim hamlet
#

Echoing reprimand is just clicking finisher when on light up button

#

Never understood why people disliked

normal mist
#

but i rather have my own conclusions if it is bad or not (gameplay wise) once i try it

slim hamlet
#

You get more energy and a little minigame (which rly doesn't require a lot of brain power)

normal mist
#

I've yet to fully remember the whole hero trees

#

xD

slim hamlet
#

I haven't looked at fatebound since it came out

#

Deathstalker only

slate crown
#

I've played it and I don't like it

ancient tangle
#

sure its not complicated

#

i didn't say that

normal mist
#

All I remember about fatebound is that we either get more damage or we get MORE damage

#

we're always winning

slim hamlet
#

I mean it will be dogpoo on some fights, but then just choose the 100% passive one instead

normal mist
#

every coin is a W

#

in a very passive way

runic hinge
#

I have access to the beta and I haven’t played it

slim hamlet
#

that is insanely based

#

god damn

runic hinge
slim hamlet
#

I got beta for dragonflight and only logged in to see tmogs on my characters pepe_chad

runic hinge
#

No. Deasthstalker

ancient tangle
#

ah yes soz

slim hamlet
#

Yea I don't see echoing as anything that matters at all

#

In any way

#

Besides maybe in m+ if you don't go bone spike for better start to a pull

ancient tangle
#

it sure not a big deal but still

slim hamlet
#

But would only matter in smaller pulls too

#

Only thing I care about is why in gods name they didn't make it more rogue-like, considering they changed a lot of covenant visuals

#

and ER just doesn't even get close to fitting

#

Or wait. Did they change it?

normal mist
#

Change what

slim hamlet
#

The looks of ER

slate crown
#

Yes

#

It is empty now

slim hamlet
#

I feel like it got changed to physical

slate crown
#

it's just a backhand

slim hamlet
#

oh

#

boring

slate crown
#

(But you can fix it by going to shadowlands and repairing it)

slim hamlet
#

I was still in the headspace of between 1st and 2nd set of covenant changes I guess

Wow @ me big dog

lime temple
#

can someone point me to a decent ST and M+ build for beta? Sorry in advance

slim hamlet
#

Pretty sure it's the exact same as now but with hero talents

#

There are some stuff u can do with SBS at least, Whispyr has a video on it if nothing else

normal mist
#

@lime temple

lime temple
#

yeah i was most ly focused on hero talents, but all g. ty

normal mist
#

I believe the hero talents dont really have many variances

#

and the choice nodes are defensives, besides that one ColdBlood node that we dont really use because ER better (for fatebound)

lime temple
#

Is one tree better for m+/ST vs the other?

normal mist
#

I'd say personal choice mostly

lime temple
#

cool ty

normal mist
#

I personaly enjoy AoE SbS

even though the build isnt stronger

Hey! Hello! :)
Could you please tell if I should delay my 2nd deathmark for vanish to apply empowered garrote before deathmark?

runic hinge
normal mist
#

Yeah the rupture refund is so welcome

normal mist
#

Thats exactly it! After that, all DM/vanish remain synced

runic hinge
#

It just makes it feel awkward trying to get that first finisher off

normal mist
#

Also, iirc try 1st vanish garr at 6sec remaining of your first garr

slim hamlet
#

SS is 6 seconds too now right?

normal mist
odd flax
#

where to macro cold blood for the new build?

slate crown
#

CB isn't recommended, but if you want to use it macro with envenom

manic harness
#

CB enjoyers

#

better than ER honestly

#

Maybe not in DPS, but in style

normal mist

assuming you play the CB fatebound talent

normal mist
#

Oh ok ok, because i believe whispyr above said mutilate/fok

#

bcs CPs

#

maybe im confused about stuff

spice surge

For prepatch i dont think it really matters much

In prepatch nothing matters SmileDog

brazen oasis
#

can someone tell me how we're suppose to play deathstalker in m+? like if you dont have vanish rdy u have to choose between applying deathstalker's mark or spreading garrote???

spice surge
#

If you dont have the capstone up you'd ambush for the mark yes

#

But most of the time (besides the first pull) youll have the capstone up

brazen oasis
#

ah so you have to keep it for the next pull

#

and first pull you would ambush > vanish > garrote?

spice surge
#

Why would you vanish

#

You already have improved garrote

brazen oasis
#

true.. somehow my brain thought its only if you cast garrote out of stealth as first global

hey guys when our cds are down and we pooling with evenom what do I do when I have 6+ cp and my evenom still ahve 5 sec before going in pandemic? do I still mutilate for dmg or... wait?

#

on a ST

royal lantern
#

you wait ofc?

#

thats the point of energy managment

fierce aurora
#

kk just wanted to be sure I wasnt missing some dmg while you know waiting hahaha

royal lantern
#

nah, just always generate CP asap, but wait with spending them

fierce aurora
#

yeah that's what I do, thanks im a month old rogues so still learning haha

if you have a long time for that, i mean thata good cus you ger a good chunk Energy back during that time

Wonder when Hekili is going to update for rogue? Asking for a friend.

thorn fjord

Hekili has historically always been really awful for rogue

viral stump

I found it to be helpful when I was learning sin rogue. Wanted to try another spec. There are no modules for rogue out yet though.

spice surge

Theyve historically given wrong information on what to press for rogue specs, no idea about rn though

Only classes Hekili ever did well on for me have been UHDK and Frost Mage

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

Read About Pooling
Video
TLDR:```- Outside of Cooldowns, you want to wait until your envenom is in pandemic/around 1 second in order to proc tier. This is the core concept of "chaining", where you clip envenoms back to back

  • If it's getting uncomfortable to chain, or you have to let envenom drop, pool back up to around 80% energy, and then start another chain
  • Always wait to envenom, never wait to mutilate/ambush. You want to generate your combo points as soon as possible, and then evaluate whether you should pool or use a finisher
  • Without 4 piece, chaining envenoms has no benefit and you can try to be above 50% energy for sanguine
  • With 4 piece, the chain takes priority over sanguine and you would play around the tier, not sanguine```The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and tier procs which is a more efficient energy use
slate crown
#

Everything is about using resources efficiently. That's it. and the main take away is that "not pressing a button" is sometimes the right answer

thorn fjord
#

Can always play OL if you really want to press buttons

slate crown
#

you can just sit there, and as long as you are not wasting any resources (energy capping, and your dots are up and cooldowns are on cooldown already) you are still doing optimal damage, assuming Shiv and other cooldowns are not active

fierce aurora
#

ty dieslow already read that but I was still wondering now I know its ok to wait hahaha

#

you know rogue can be a little bit more rock and roll in m+

slate crown
#

You pick where you spend resources, so you don't spend them when it's less important (no cds), and do spend them when it is more important (during cds)

fierce aurora
#

when you cant stealth

slate crown
#

the rest are just the smaller details

delicate orbit
fluid glade
#

hows the rotation diff in beta vs live with deathstalker

slate crown
#

there are specific nuances to it that are yet to be fleshed out

#

Also it's likely we'll be using FoK in single target with the last changes, once after applying the mark

delicate orbit
thorn fjord
#

But I’m a hater

slate crown

#

Am I losing a lot of DPS if I go fatebound since I dont want to manage Deathstalker?

slate crown
#

Wrong verb tense

#

because those aren't live yet starege

pure bridge
#

Ct being one of your top damage in ST during Sepulcher was goated /s.

normal mist
#

You'd be losing more dps if you forced yourself playing DStalker

fierce aurora
#

depends if you are playing on beta or not haha

limber lion
#

But if you play Deathstalker poorly and fuck up the marks, you'll lose a lot

#

Fatebound is easy to play and hard to fuck up

#

Would probably still recommend Fatebound to most

thorn fjord
#

Isn’t it rng

fierce aurora
limber lion
#

it sure is

but not that much

Its RNG but you never "lose"

thorn fjord

I gotta start looking into this shit

fierce aurora
#

thanks ceverion for the quick answer

#

i will be honest since I'm learning I realy love Fastebound hahaha but I know people hate the RNG of it

People read "RNG" and be like "so its either really good or really bad" and i believe thats not the case

Hello all, did key difficulty get nerfed in pre patch?

#

seems like things are much easier than last week

past forum
#

Hi, so just so I’m understanding correctly….we still save a tea for KB, but instead of strictly using it at last 6 seconds we just use it whenever it won’t overcap energy? And then the other uses as normal for energy

hexed frost
slate crown
#

Basically just use it with/shortly after shiv as long as it won't cap energy, yes. Regardless of anything else

#

Don't use it outside of shiv

#

Also in the opener you'll want to just use the first charge to get it off cd with your first shiv (regardless of energy capping)

wise trail
#

So I’m starting rogue for the first time what should I know or any starter tips so I don’t build bad habits

!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

ashen oriole
balmy condor
#

off feeling it should work

#

but you can make an argument that you're not actually spending the cp

#

you're just getting the damage as if it was 7cp

#

but given it works with stuff like outlaw/sub cdr

ashen oriole
#

i dont like this argument

balmy condor
#

I can only assume it's supposed to work

hollow helm
#

the wording is "finishing moves function as if they consumed 7 combo points"

balmy condor
#

correct

ashen oriole
#

"finishing moves function as if they consumed 7 combo points" and "When you spend 5 or more combo points on attacks"

#

seems clear to me what should happen

i hope blizz agrees

#

I can understand the restealth in chain pulling not being important. But before a boss? Isn't it better to restealth?

steel ridge
#

its always "better" but not breaking your game if you arent able to

#

and if you pull 8 mobs onto a boss you are doing more damage than if you get of that restealth

#

that one garrote isnt going to outweight the cleave you gain from 8 more targets or some shit

silver escarp
#

Yea ofc but i'm not in groups that does that

#

I'm more in groups that pull the boss alone

steel ridge
#

if the tank pulls the boss alone

#

you should get that restealth off right?

#

or why dont you?

silver escarp
#

Shades ?

#

Or just pull just before the last mob dies

balmy condor
#

the question isn't whether it's better or not, it's about by how much

#

if you don't get a restealth before a boss

hoary remnant
#

You can restealth if the tank move along and your fight off the last mob(s)

balmy condor
#

you lose out on 1 improved garrote

#

which is whatever

#

it's not as good as having it obviously

#

but oh well

silver escarp
#

Yea, was curious. Better to know and not agonise myself over no restealth !

#

But why won't we play dance anymore? ER is just that much better? (sry 'bout that question if it was already answered)

steel ridge
#

dance is gone

#

if you havent noticed

balmy condor

yeh

hard to play something that doesn't exist

how should I look at rupture/garrote bleeds in aoe? just get maxed Scent of blood then just Caustic Spatter spam?

yep

Which of the rogue specs do you guys recommend for an outlaw refugee

balmy condor
#

whichever you think is more fun

#

even outlaw is fine

ebon apex
chilly mist
#

Hm ok, so what are the garrote uses outside of Indiscriminate carnage?

balmy condor
#

to put up on your main target and get some extra energy if super needed

#

pulls usually don't last long enough for it to super matter

royal lantern
chilly mist
#

haha ok I see

balmy condor
#

it's always #1 prio to just bleed until you have more energy than you need

#

past that it's basically just maintain CT and caustic spatter

#

maintain rup for scent obv if you have that

#

prep yourself for a chain pull by getting another rup or gar out to bridge the gap

#

etc etc

royal lantern
#

it sounds more complicated then it really is, trust me

balmy condor
#

I think of it in terms of like the value of a bleed, take rupture for example:

  • If you don't have carnage, gonna be weaker
  • If you don't have scent, gonna be weaker
  • If you don't need energy, gonna be weaker
  • If you don't have bone spike charges, gonnna be weaker
#

and so as you check more boxes in your rotation

#

the amount of stuff that bleeds are doing for you

#

goes down

#

thats a pretty good way to look at it

balmy condor
#

usually after the energy bullet point there

#

it's kinda difficult to justify solo rupturing something

#

cause it just doesn't give much past that

#

not that rupture sucks, it does a ton of damage

#

but at that point you're like 15 seconds into the pull and probably have cooldowns running and by the time those are done you're like 25 seconds into a pull that lasts maybe 40 seconds tops?

#

and that point like just envenom ya know

chilly mist
#

yeah make sense

#

I appreciate the pointers, only started Assass m+ 2 days ago so 🙂 Just last question, have checked some high key logs for damage breakdowns. I noticed Caustic Spatter was pretty significantly outdamaging anything else but in my sims it's mainly Garrote and Crimson Tempest on top

#

i know sims are kinda broken atm but how should that be looking like? roughly

#

also the logs are all before the patch came out so I can imagine it being different now too

balmy condor
#

yeah so that's kinda a build difference most of the time

#

if you're unfamiliar with the shift between lower keys and higher keys

#

I'd suggest this

#

the tldr is high keys run very single target/caustic heavy talents

#

and low keys that would be troll because your kingsbane just nukes whatever it hits instantly

#

so you can't make use of caustic as easily

#

the swap to where the big single target builds are good is typically agreed to be around +14-16ish

#

but with prepatch balance who knows

chilly mist
#

ahh interresting

#

will use this prepatch to expirement with those, didn't realize there were such different builds

#

thanks for all the help o7

pseudo hamlet
#

It's worth to use ER during the IC window to spread the 7CP "animacharged" ruptures or it really doesn't matter?

balmy condor
#

Depends on the pull size but I wouldn’t bother

#

You can do like gar gar rup er rup i guess

But it’s not something I’d be thinking about

Just send er whenever

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
hoary remnant
blissful cosmos
#

With the new build in beat I can’t chain evenoms like we use to in my mythic plus build

#

Beta

#

I have 0 energy barely able to play the game

#

I’ll be lucky if I can evenoms like 3 times during king and

#

Bane

#

If I want to pool I need to tab out

#

Cause of how long it takes

spice surge
#

Nothing really changed

#

Did you forget to apply your poisons

blissful cosmos
#

No

#

Should I just not hit my moves at let sanguine blades do damage until my cooldowns

balmy condor
#

the only difference is that you don't have venom rush

#

so idk

balmy condor
blissful cosmos
#

Alright so I really got to pool a lot

balmy condor
#

not really no

#

you pool way less than on live

blissful cosmos
#

So chaining evenoms is still more important even with the new 4 set on beta

#

We still play the same way?

balmy condor
#

rapid injection takes over

#

but you don't play the same way on beta

#

you play for max uptime

#

not max chain

#

so you won't be going above 50% without envenom up

#

right now you'd pool back up to like 80-85%

blissful cosmos
#

What’s the difference between chaining and max uptime

#

Evenom when it actually drops the buff?

balmy condor
#

well if you're chaining like you are now, you're trying to get the longest chain possible before resetting it and going back up to max and then getting a long chain again

#

playing for uptime is just ignoring energy for the most part to keep the buff up

#

envenom pandemics, so you still should be casting envenom during envenom in most cases

#

but you're not taking the big break between chains

#

not that any of this really matters, pooling both on live and beta is like a 1% minmax

blissful cosmos
#

I still want to actually wait to evenoms buffs is about to drop to evenom again tho right

balmy condor
#

rapid injection is too weak and envenom uptime is too high

#

yes

blissful cosmos
#

Alright I guess I see what I’m doing wrong

#

Thank you

balmy condor

Well for me, I ramped up my dmg and energy alot by trying harder to spread rupture and garrote now than before.
Leading to delaying DM/KB abit, but then getting more value out of it.

how does improved garrote work ? Do i have the improved garrote for 6 seconds after stealth , or does only the first garrote out of stealth count towards the improved version now ?

spice surge
#

You have it for 6 seconds after stealth

#

So any garrote applied during those 6 seconds will be empowered

cyan mist
#

why isn't the recomended opener not
garrote garrote Rupture ER S & D ? instead of
garrote ER Rupture Mutilate S & D ?

balmy condor
#

because it's not worth the extra gcd to garrote a second time

cyan mist
#

k does that count under kingsbane vanish reset as well ?

#

when garrote has 6 sec

#

vanish > garrote > Garrote ? instead of
Vanish >garrote > ER ?

balmy condor
#

no

#

because again

spice surge
#

I dont understand why you would want to garrote twice in a row

balmy condor
#

it's not worth the extra gcd

#

you're getting 5 extra seconds of garrote on that GCD

it's really bad

brazen oasis
#

i know its beta sims and its not accurate yet but what would possibly the reason to delay imp. garrote to use it as 8th global after DM instead of 3rd while playing Fatebound? or vise versa.

spice surge
#

I dont think vanish is ready before that point

#

So technically the DM could be delayed for it if you wouldnt miss a cast

balmy condor
#

I have a fix for that locally to vanish gar dm

#

but beta sims yeh

#

don't look at it for rotation

#

just dumb

brazen oasis
#

i guess

balmy condor
#

looking at live sims for rotation is misleading enough without anything else

brazen oasis
#

just wondering what would change with the hero talents

balmy condor
#

nothing

#

they're both insano passive

brazen oasis
#

yeah, thought there would be more to it smh

balmy condor
#

I wish man

#

fatebound doesn't even change cold blood logic at all

brazen oasis
#

kinda weird

balmy condor
#

is what it is

brazen oasis
#

i would understand all the passive talents if we would also have a complete overhaul of talent trees

balmy condor
#

assassination is the spec where you can just kinda smash your face into the keyboard 10-15% of the time and it's completely fine

#

cold blood just wants to be on cooldown

#

doesn't care if it's before a finisher, after a finisher, during shiv

#

just on cooldown

#

deathstalker is just ambush first gcd of a fight, and then finish on 7 when you have the capstone ggwp

#

biggest APL changes we've done all of beta has been ripping dance out of the sim

brazen oasis
#

yeah nothing to play around

balmy condor
#

even the pooling conditionals are whatever

#

doesn't want to stay above 50% cause it loses envenom uptime

#

but doesn't want to stay under 50% because it's hitting 100% envenom uptime

#

we're right back to vault assa with 100% envenom uptime

#

it's pretty incredible how they can't manage to keep envenom uptime down

#

the envenom uptime being so high was a big part of why the 10.2 rework went down

#

they attacked it from like 3 different angles

brazen oasis
#

makes you wonder if they even know what interactions happening between their talents

#

or reworks

#

or changes

#

idk

balmy condor
#

they definitely do

brazen oasis
#

then they dont care

balmy condor
#

wouldn't even say that

#

if some project manager higher up says X is a priority then there's just no resources for it

#

is what it is

#

common in programming teams

thorn fjord
#

In envenom we trust prayge prayge

brazen oasis
#

even so, there has to be someone thinking about "clear the witnesses" talent for example and thinking its good to have talented in ST since there is no choice node. and its either not used is ST or it is and makes it feel bad to us FoK in ST

balmy condor
#

yeh deathstalker was just really rushed

lyric crater
#

#

So we tea during shiv if it won’t overcap energy, I get that. Do we still normally use both shivs in kb? I saw the note in the guide about being able to flex shiv usage somewhat in aoe, was just curious about st.

limber lion
#

In ST you always double Shiv with KB, yes

#

It's the easiest way to go about everything

#

With single Shiv it gets a bit tricky, if that ever beats double Shiv

slate scaffold
#

Good to know b/c I just hold both charges for KB window in both ST and AoE lol

#

Was a bit worried I was doing it wrong

limber lion
#

In AoE it's a bit different because mobs might die faster

#

So you won't necessarily get the full benefit of the KB

#

So using Shiv in AoE with AP to buff up all the bleeds and whatnot is also fine

#

Most important thing is basically to always have one Shiv for the last bit of KB

slate scaffold
#

Ahh okay it depends on the key level on whether they’ll live long enough to actually get the benefit of shiv on KB

#

Dat make sense

slate crown
#

Shiv being a 30sec cd, and it lasts 8 seconds, means you don't even need to enter KB with 2 charges up right away, if your second charge has 8 seconds left on the cooldown you're still safe to double shiv in it

#

so like, if the current pack will die before your KB goes out and you decide to not KB for the remainder of the pull and there's a long travel time to the next pull

#

Shiv for aoe bleeds is fine Surebud

slate scaffold
#

Green names putting in the work

#

Ty

past forum
#

So do we tea with EVERY shiv, assuming we can use the energy? Or just once per kb

limber lion
#

Those are the only 2 conditions

#

Shiv and -100 energy

#

You can technically use all 3 teas immediately

#

if you can burn through the energy fast enough

past forum
#

I guess this week if the healer goes on strike from afflicted

balmy condor
#

cause at that point you're wasting the mastery uptime

#

but yeh

limber lion
#

Yeah, technically 3 conditions with one being !buff.thistle_tea.up

#

You probably won't eat up the energy before the buff drops though

#

But anything is possible

past forum
#

The possibilities are endless

#

I understand that these usage conditions are pretty straightforward but for me personally it’s gonna take time psychologically dismantling the KB launch sequence from s3

steep gust
#

In aoe, assuming mobs live long enough, do we need to manually apply garrote and rupture on multiple targets? Or are we just prio a target?

balmy condor
#

you should bleed until you have energy and then prio a target

sturdy path
#

which build is better for full aoe (Academy key) ?

#

bleed or hybrid?

balmy condor
#

depends on too many factors

#

all the builds are similar

it's just what parts of the kit do damage vs others

tawny junco
#

What if the mobs are still alive, the garrotes run off and you don’t have vanish ?

#

Do you just garrote a different mob every time it goes off cooldown?

yes

I do send gar on cd if the target won't die and I dont have enough bleeds out to be gcd capped

Cause my bis trinket is from delve

normal mist
#

Depending on how cool the dungeons are for non mythic raiders, that might be either enjoyable or really bad xD

Pretty sure yeah

spice surge
#

Havent checked for assa but it aint for sub

balmy condor
#

I checked it after nerf but I was missing a couple

#

I tested sac and stuff

spice surge

This is what it does now

haughty flicker
#

Cast times yay

desert cove
#

#

spice surge
#

I'd imagine its the grim batol trinket for assa too, but maybe im wrong

normal mist
#

as if it isnt already a good time

runic hinge
#

Kinda seems really good

It’s just puzzle box but no DR

spice surge
#

Ye maybe the -13 ilvls isnt enough

fleet pagoda
#

was there a main stat trink with on-use main stat all DF?

balmy condor
#

Don’t think so

Comparing a trinket to season 4 puzzle box would be an insult

sharp viper
#

wasn't it always 3 min cd? i remember playing puzzle box in s1 assa

fleet pagoda
#

not a single trinket in all of DF raids/dungeons for any role/spec had main stat + on use main stat. kinda jarring to see this trinket after that lol

along with exsangery

Lined up with deathmark

#

They nerfed it to 3 min 30 seconds cause unholy dk was going bananas

sharp viper
balmy condor

Yes

that delve trinket sounds very powerful for all 2 min cd specs
