Awesome

slim hamlet
#

I wonder if fatal intent will work with shiv and stuff

#

So you gotta be ready for that

balmy condor
#

it's coded to work with shiv

slim hamlet
#

Pog

#

Or kinda pog

balmy condor
#

but it doesn't work with anything else

slim hamlet
#

Cool but can also be cringe if you really want to minmax it and hope for good timing

balmy condor
#

and fatal intent in general is doing 0 damage cause the entire backend of that spell is spaghetti

slim hamlet
#

So it's the same as any spell in the game?

balmy condor
#

no its worse

exotic hazel
#

At least the talents don't really affect our rotation beyond Ambush opener on DS

balmy condor
#

it's still linked to the trinket

#

but they removed the flat damage that the trinket would've done

haughty flicker
#

lmao

balmy condor
#

which is this AP mod here

#

that's the multiplier skills have with attack power

#

but because trinkets don't work like that the whole thing is completely bricked

#

cause the AP number doesn't actually apply

#

so it just says 0 * 1 +vers damage

#

the stacks apply and everything

#

it even triggers

#

and removes itself

#

but when it triggers its effect there's nothing behind it

#

so it just does 0 damage

slim hamlet
#

Sounds ready to ship

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

that's what you get for copy pasting a trinket and then not cleaning up after yourself

slim hamlet
#

Is it correctly implimented in sims tho?

balmy condor
#

no

slim hamlet
#

Ahh

balmy condor
#

the backend code is so fucking janky koji has refused to add it

#

cause like

#

no point adding something that's gonna get basically a full rewrite

slim hamlet
#

Oh so sims use the actual thing from ingame?

#

I thought you like had to impliment it specifically made for sim

balmy condor
#

depends on the spell

fossil crown
#

just resubbed and hopped on my rogue for the first time in a long while, feels jank and energy starved?

balmy condor
#

like a lot of spells just read the data from the game and it's chilling

#

but some spells need more support in sims

#

to bridge the gap

#

especially if things are scripted server-side and can't be seen in game data

slim hamlet
#

I see

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
slim hamlet
#

We don't have infinite energy anymore

balmy condor
fossil crown
#

Whispyr just read your piece about deathstalker hero talents, is the concensus still that we are boned in TWW?

#

have not really followed the xpac at all

balmy condor
#

it's better

#

but there's situations where it's still a janky mess

#

the complaints about like hunt them down being auto attack damage and stupid and all that is still a thing

#

but the mark got a couple fixes to make it not awful to play

fossil crown
#

kinda weirded out by using ambush instead of garrotte

balmy condor
#

well with how they changed it, you only ambush once

#

and then never again

#

cause ideally you just permanently shuffle through the capstone

#

it's very strange

fossil crown
#

do we just forego our empowered garrotte or is subterfuge basically mandatory now

balmy condor
#

improved garrote is 6 seconds

#

you don't need to do anything crazy

#

just ambush -> garrote

fossil crown
#

oh i literally did not know that, always thought it was only improved during stealth and we got to extend it out of stealth because of subterfuge and shadow dance

balmy condor
#

well subterfuge before dragonflight was improved garrote

#

so you're not entirely wrong

#

but with dragonflight improved garrote became its own talent

#

and had a 3 second duration

#

which now in 11.0 is 6

#

subterfuge now does actually nothing of value for assassination

slim hamlet
#

Unless we count the shrouded + subterfuge bug kekw

balmy condor
#

the two things it provides is increased master assassination duration, which isn't a talent we use generally and is very low impact, and the ability to cast ambush a couple more seconds

#

which we actually want to avoid as ambush is strictly worse than mutilate

balmy condor
#

it was fixed really quickly because we started going gar-env-gar-env-gar-env

#

but it was less than 1%

#

so I guess the +1 vanish charge is -4.1%

#

and not -5%

slim hamlet
#

I member

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

Gigantic

#

Logging in and switching to double vanish right now actually

balmy condor
#

only 4-5 more completely broken bugs

#

and we might play double vanish

slim hamlet
#

I knew all along

devout mist
#

Sudden demise in ST when?

slim hamlet
#

When you talent it

balmy condor
#

scent of blood is scary good

devout mist
slim hamlet
#

Remember when we almost took Scent of Blood in ST? starege

balmy condor
#

that's what I'm talking about yes

slim hamlet
#

Oh didn't see last part

#

..

devout mist
#

In 10.2 ptr i didnt follow assa much, i was hanging with the pirate bros

cobalt geyser
#

@balmy condor How good will assa be for Myth prog in your opinion ? I just had debate with guildies about comp for new raid so If you can give me good info I would be happy 😄

balmy condor
#

it's entirely based on how the specs are tuned

#

and they're tuning every week

#

we could go into week 1 of the raid in 5 weeks and be bottom of the barrel awful

#

and then get a 7-8% buff going into week 2 and be huge

#

or the opposite

#

it's a melee dps spec Shrug

#

we have atrophic which is good

#

you probably want 1 rogue pretty much always

#

but it's not required in any way

#

if warlocks for example are doing 10% more damage

#

you'd just run another warlock

slim hamlet
#

But Kush had "Assa TWW is OP" in his title?

cobalt geyser
#

Was on Aug from S3 till end of S4 and I am just sick of it and wanna play my baby rogue more

devout mist
#

Get 1 rogue for prog and then bench em till next season Surebud

rigid comet
#

Any chance we get to play fatebound instead of deathstalker in the case that it stays similar as it is right now?

balmy condor
#

it's already better in m+

#

so yeah I'd say so

devout mist
#

I got a very important question tho, do i play my gnome or my panda rogue this season

slim hamlet
#

Fatebound in m+ despair

kindred breach
kindred breach
#

I was scratching my head on how to properly reapply marks and make sure to not fuck it up

devout mist
#

Fatebound in m+ is bis, gotta follow my funny coin buff and get a dopamine hit when number goes up. Then deathroll the tank for 500k

kindred breach

  • the ambush thing... disgusting lmao

#

so tldr when pooling we are just not pressing buttons every global?

kindred breach
#

The second part looks scary but I guess we'll have to do with it if playing DS

balmy condor
#

its impossible to press a button every global by design

devout mist
#

Gotta get a huge text WA reminding me i dropped mark mid pull in m+

balmy condor
#

you get the capstone buff if a target dies with the mark on it

#

so as long as you use a 7cp envenom to apply the mark

#

job done

kindred breach
#

Didn't do my homework sorry...

balmy condor
#

after the first ambush from stealth you always have either a mark applied, or the capstone

#

unless either time out or the mark poofs because the game sucks

fossil crown
#

it does seem like its gonna be better if not a little bit lame

devout mist
#

Wait if the buff somehow drops, boralus 2nd boss style

balmy condor
#

or mists first boss

runic hinge
#

First boss mists in season 1

devout mist
#

Do i need to vanish ambush to reapply it?

runic hinge
#

I’m slow af

balmy condor
#

or necrotic wake third boss

balmy condor
kindred breach
runic hinge
#

Necrotic wake is a fake dungeon and I won’t be playing it

devout mist
#

The random mut, ambush procs dont work then dead

balmy condor
#

it's not an ambush from stealth

devout mist
#

Ok gimme the sc_peepogamble tree then kekw

kindred breach
#

I'm a huge gambler and I liked that in wow you are not relying on luck

#

Guess i'll have to find a new game lmao

devout mist
#

Outlaw fatebound

balmy condor
#

who told you you're not relying on luck lmao

devout mist
#

Is a dream come true for u

#

Dice

#

Coins

balmy condor
#

there is not one spec in the game that has less than 10% variance

devout mist
#

Blackjack

#

Hookers

balmy condor
#

assa during season 3 and 4 is over 15% variance

devout mist
#

All in 1 spec

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

wow is a huge rng fiesta

kindred breach
runic hinge
#

Just crit 4HEad

kindred breach
#

apart for the crit part ofc

haughty flicker
#

0 variance if you just always crit

slim hamlet
#

^

slim hamlet
runic hinge
#

Apart from the rng what’s rng

#

Sorry I’m trying to be funny not mean

haughty flicker
#

lmao

slim hamlet
#

You're both

haughty flicker
kindred breach
#

Yeah but i mean crit is a gamble for all specs which plays it as main secondary stats, that's not "more" rng than any spec could have

slim hamlet
#

:(

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

sophic pog

balmy condor
#

assa in season 3 for example has a HUGE swing entirely dependant on everything proccing during your deathmark

devout mist
#

Neltharion trinket goes brrrrrrrr

kindred breach
slim hamlet
#

With KB end

runic hinge
slim hamlet
#

Also proccing KB to max stacks fast

kindred breach
devout mist
#

Ye i got a love hate with him. He is very clingy sometimes and sometimes he comea after major cds

balmy condor
#

in season 3 there was pulls where you had 65 poison applications

#

and some pulls where you capped at 99 with 3 seconds remaining

#

completely out of your control

slim hamlet
#

Just get 100 windfury procs in a row with all hitting a poison proc

balmy condor
#

very simple

kindred breach
#

Yeah your definitively right we are more relying on procs than other

devout mist
#

So are we still doing hardcore multiplications by 0 on fatal intent?

balmy condor
#

yes

kindred breach
#

Its not outlaw level but yeah guess i need to change my point of view

balmy condor
#

you're right

#

it's worse than outlaw

slim hamlet
#

Lot worse aint it

balmy condor
#

not a lot

slim hamlet
#

People think outlaw is omega rng just because it rolls dice

balmy condor
#

but season 3 and 4 assa was the most rng rogue spec

#

so

#

"not outlaw level"

#

technically correct

slim hamlet
#

At least it's not enhancement storm build level of rng

balmy condor
#

don't worry though

#

after they buffed the shit out of fatebound

#

it's actually worse now

slim hamlet
#

I hope they keep doing that

#

I love RNG

kindred breach
balmy condor
#

(a lot of those numbers are just dslice rng to be fair)

#

but yeah

#

welcome to world of warcraft

kindred breach
#

I'll just keep tryharding poker i guess lmao

faint vessel
#

fatebound sin just felt nice in a dungeon

balmy condor
#

just because they hide the RNG doesn't mean it's not there

faint vessel
#

i mean, it felt like live with more damage lol

slim hamlet
#

Fatebound seems like the single worst m+ hero talent I have read

balmy condor
#

what

#

fatebound is sick in m+

faint vessel
#

oh you read? i listen to whispyr

fossil crown
#

maybe not important but when initially approaching an AOE pack from stealth and throwing your garrottes and ruptures , once everything is garrotted do you keep using it for the CP builder or do you swap to fan of knives during the imroved garrotte window

balmy condor
#

fok

faint vessel
#

(but in all seriousness the fatebound hero talents seem really good for M+/cleave)

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

they are

slim hamlet
#

It is fully passive, the only thing you notice is capstone droppign between pulls

balmy condor
#

you'd only notice that if you track it

devout mist
#

It helps em

slim hamlet
#

True

devout mist
slim hamlet
#

Time to run tricks and pull if they don't fast enough

haughty flicker
#

you pulling for tank is just mitigation for them

kindred breach
#

That's not why evade was designed?!

faint vessel
#

Im probably in minority but I really enjoy set and forget it hero talents at least for the first season of war within

slim hamlet
#

Yea I really love to get 10 talents which I will never notice

devout mist
#

They are squishy these days, evade tanking rogue is the new utility we provide

slim hamlet
#

But tbf the defensive node in fatebound is sick

faint vessel
#

to each their own, I play other classes to so. it isnt the most interesting but Im already interested in sin

haughty flicker
#

i wouldnt mind passive trees if they looked cool to appeal to my monkey brain

faint vessel
#

yeah I wish there was more visual to deathstalker & fatebound

kindred breach
desert cove
slim hamlet
haughty flicker
#

like herald is passive but monkey brain see light and dopamine activates

devout mist
#

Funny coin is a appeal

desert cove
#

I will personally be tracking every coin flip

devout mist
#

Track it ans ignore everything else

desert cove
#

It fuels my gambling addiction

slim hamlet
devout mist
#

Keep.number big

#

Dont envenom for 20 secs till CB is up

kindred breach
slim hamlet
#

I wanna make a wa that does the plunderstorm coin pickup sound whenever I flip a coin

devout mist
#

So u can guarantee coins from 15 to 17

desert cove
kindred breach
#

Bte goes brrrrr

desert cove
#

More damage on heads flips, if you get a bunch of tails flips you’ll see more big numbers

#

Easy as

devout mist
#

Getting DM+KB with 16 head stacks PES2_Woah

slim hamlet
#

Are they exponential?

#

No right?

desert cove
#

Pretty sure it’s linear stat increases

slim hamlet
#

Yea so that wouldn't matter at all unless I am missing something

#

But yea if you like to track how many in a row and get adrenaline somehow that's sick

#

Just not to me

devout mist
#

Its either that

#

Or learning to count to 3

desert cove
#

I need a wa that does the moist critikal scream when I hit 7 stacks

devout mist
#

Mark....mark.....mark.... 7 CP!!!

slim hamlet
#

I want that

devout mist
#

Repeat

slim hamlet
#

Just use a wa for mark

devout mist
#

Both are lame if u rly wanna dig into it

slim hamlet
#

or plater

devout mist
#

But its what we got

slim hamlet
#

Deathstalker exists, fatebound doesn't do anything

#

Or

#

Doesn't make you do anything*

devout mist
#

I mean there things u can optimize mid pull

#

Like DM coming up

slim hamlet
#

But I would rather that than what it looked like at the start

devout mist
#

Cb coming up

#

So u keep your streaks

slim hamlet
#

where you really tried to manipulate the stacks to 7 with cold blood and shit

#

Pretty sure you just don't do that

#

I think the average time to get the capstone was 50 seconds according to sims?

devout mist
#

I mean just play what u like

#

We aint getting invited to keys anyway

slim hamlet
#

I play the one with the highest number unless it's intermission boss

slim hamlet
haughty flicker
#

just dont do keys

#

m+ peepochrist

#

keep it away from me

devout mist
#

Yea i adopted the get a very early season 3k-3.2k so i can get into 10s ez for the rest of the season

slim hamlet
#

How long do you have the capstone buff after getting last mark done with deathstalker btw?

haughty flicker
#

(i dont actually mind m+ before people start yelling at me)

devout mist
#

And call it a day

spice surge
#

30

slim hamlet
#

30 is more than enough too

#

I was expecting like 10

kindred breach
#

Yeah 30 is plenty

#

10 would have sucked a lot

slim hamlet
#

Yep

#

That is what fatebound is

kindred breach
#

Its 10sec to lose the coins accumulated?

slim hamlet
#

idk about the small coins

#

But the capstone

kindred breach
#

Ok so either you dont restealth or you loose the capstone

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

It's not the most important thing ever

#

But yea

kindred breach
slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

lets say you have a dying pack of mobs, and your marked target dies 10 seconds before the actual end of the pack

#

you reapply your darkest night once because yolo, 5 seconds before the end of the pack

#

the pack ends

kindred breach
#

Yeah thats exactly what i was thinking you need to proc capstone on like the last mob

balmy condor
#

you're at 25 seconds

kindred breach
#

that sucks holy

balmy condor
#

okay, so now with our 25 seconds

#

lets skip ahead to the opener on the next pack

#

it's a bigger pack

#

8 targets

#

gar gar rup rup gar gar CT er env dm shiv kb mut mut to get to 7cp, envenom -> this one triggers the capstone

#

that's 15 seconds into the next pull

#

so we're left with a buffer of 10 seconds between packs

#

if you're too slow on that

kindred breach
#

Yeah so thats pretty much like fatebound capstone it will be hard to reapply without 60 sec...

haughty flicker
#

time to pull out the pocket anvil strats

balmy condor
#

you have to adjust on the fly and wreck your opener

haughty flicker
#

and hit dolls between pulls

balmy condor
#

in order to 7cp envenom and try and conserve

devout mist
#

Well if er counted as max points....

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

That is when you have full CDs to go and you choose to not just proc it with restealth and you in the first place don't just chain

kindred breach
#

No that is really really bad lmao

balmy condor
#

it'll probably count for the mark consumption itself, since 7>5

slim hamlet
#

Quite a lot of things that have to be perfect for it to just be AS bad as fatebound

balmy condor
#

but asking for the capstone to be on ER is a stretch

devout mist
#

I mean....

kindred breach
#

Yeah cuz we could put an envenom right after the ER

#

That might save the day?

devout mist
#

Still.dont know if ER not triggering capstone is intended or not. Or at least idk

balmy condor
#

the strong assumption atm is ER triggers the mark, but not the capstone

slim hamlet
#

This definitely sounds like it should work with it

balmy condor
#

should it still work

slim hamlet
#

Oh does ER just always counts as 7?

#

I thought it was just your max available

haughty flicker
#

er is always 7

balmy condor
#

it's always 7

slim hamlet
#

Yea that is tricky

gilded oasis
#

Know what else is tricky?

slim hamlet
#

dn

#

?

gilded oasis
#

to rock a rhyme thats right on time

slim hamlet
#

You been lurking to say that?

gilded oasis
#

Yes

slim hamlet
#

Reasonable

worldly sail
haughty flicker
#

sometimes you just have to commit to the bit

gilded oasis
#

Im in a commited relationship with the bit infact

runic helm
#

Honestly ER always being 7 is dumb too. It should scale higher if you have a higher max combo points too. But should definitely count for procing the capstone. Makes it way more interesting gameplay wise too

kindred breach
#

Yeah I feel it would give us more space to reapply the mark

#

Cause your Evenom after the ER procs it so you gain like 4-5s

#

Which is not insanely good either

#

But having to make a full opening and reapply it at the end feel like rot

balmy condor
#

wait until you realize that the mark drops off your target through natural play

#

right at the end of your kingsbane

haughty flicker
#

xdd

chrome rivet
#

Is there a haste requirement for sin? I'm learning the spec for the first time and noticed that we elect to take some haste w our pieces in leiu of crit/mast

balmy condor
#

no

#

!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.

balmy condor
#

stats are just close and change a lot

spice surge
#

Some bosses fly away, transition into another phase or send you away for a while

balmy condor
#

no it's just how the mark works

#

you have 3 stacks of the mark

#

so 3 finishers

#

after that, the mark drops and you get the capstone

#

so during that time between the last finisher and you building to 7 and hitting an envenom

#

you just don't have the mark on the target

spice surge
#

Oh you meant that way

balmy condor
#

during AoE pulls where you're applying the mark during your cooldowns

prime plinth
#

So Sin lookin better after recent changes?

balmy condor
#

it lines up that your mark gets fully consumed at the end of your kingsbane

#

and you get like 2-3 ticks of kingsbane without singular focus

slim hamlet
balmy condor
#

because deathstalker is a great tree with no jank

kindred breach
#

Oh yeah i see thanks for developping

prime plinth
prime plinth
slim hamlet
#

I think it was ~10% buff

#

So yea

#

15% if fatebound

kindred breach
#

Why sending your kids to do jobs and live without aid to face reality

#

When you can just plug them right here

balmy condor
slim hamlet
#

oh yea

prime plinth

OH WAIT

slim hamlet

theres also just a high rez headband by itself

LFR antorus DH pieces + tww tier pieces (normal or LFR, not sure)

there are nice hoods too that would work really well for rogue mogs but they make you bald

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
balmy condor
#

so aside from those lost shiv casts, nothing major

#

and the shiv casts are just because you're playing on a very short kill timer and there's tight timings on the fight, pretty advanced stuff to get right

#

wouldn't worry about it

ionic matrix
long island
#

if i have deeper stratagem do i still finisher at 5 combo or alway wait for 6

balmy condor
#

you finish on max-2

#

every build should have 7 max

#

so you finish on 5

long island
#

oh

#

is there any explanation to why -2?

balmy condor
#

less overcap

#

oh

#

one more question, after coming out of stealth in aoe, my first seconds should be focused on spamming garrote and rupture onto every enemy?

past forum

Man, i feel blessed to have picked up sin when I did. The play pattern feels reaaaally clean. Even if hero talents never get to a spot where they feel as pog as some of the other classes, it’s gonna feel great to do ass all xpac.

m+ deathstalker build goes crazy on beta, way ahead of fatebound. especially on bosses

this build is something

#

allows u to spam max cp envenoms with imp garrote for last 6 seconds of your kb with deathmark up. can send 3 darkest night procs in your burst window lol

so he can restealth

granite sentinel
#

er could be wild if it wasn't bugged with consuming deathstalker's mark

runic hinge
#

45 er casts over 1.5ish extra vanishes

#

subterfuge is 2 wasted points cause imp garrote is already 6 seconds

#

soothing darkness is also just not good

granite sentinel
#

iron wire too op man especially in high keys when missed important cast will wipe the group. plus subterfuge gives u free max cp envenoms for your 2nd shiv.. and more sudden demise procs for sure

runic hinge
#

yeah but its like 1 extra vanish and then maybe some savings on not holding your cd, it's not like a ton of value for 4 points

granite sentinel
#

i mean the damage output kinda similar but u got more utility

runic hinge
#

also idk how subterfuge gives you max cp evenoms

granite sentinel
#

cuz of this talent

runic hinge
#

that works with imp garrote tho

#

same thing

#

6 seconds

granite sentinel
#

without subterfuge u do only 3cp garrotes

runic hinge
#

what

granite sentinel
#

yeah it's how it works man

runic hinge
#

the stealth thing is the same with or without subterfuge

slate crown
#

And, WITH subterfuge, you also get 3

#

Subterfuge does not impact your CP gain from shrouded

runic hinge
#

The full combo points is from IC and your garrote hitting multiple targets

granite sentinel
#

u get max cp garrotes when vanish into deathmark

runic hinge
#

yeah but you can get that from just having shrouded and imp garrote

granite sentinel
#

nope

runic hinge
#

it's also still just 3 combo points

#

LOL

#

I'm hitting a dummy

granite sentinel
#

test on a dummy

runic hinge
#

just did

slate crown
#

Garrote + Deathmark used to get 5 combo points with shrouded

#

Like, in early season 3 and before

runic hinge
#

subterfuge doesn't interact with combo points at all

granite sentinel
#

lemme make u a video

runic hinge
#

I am playing the game rn but ok

It works, source: trust me bro

runic hinge

I'm sitting in stormshield hitting a dummy with subterfuge and my garrote only gives me 3 combo points with or without DM

when i get out of this bg

That last cast I did was garrote

#

only 3 cp

@runic hinge

#

fuck my opener just to show my "garrote" take

runic hinge
#

yeah i didn't see you getting full combo points

#

unless you're making me a second video

placid adder
#

Find out on the next episode

runic hinge
#

Interesting

#

it doesn't work like that on live

#

wonder if the double shrouded bug is back

runic hinge
slate crown
#

It's something else, double shrouded was specifically 5 combo points

granite sentinel
#

ye was talkin bout beta all that time kekdog

slate crown
#

This is another bug interaction

runic hinge
#

interesting interaction but idk, maybe it's good but i can't imagine spamming garrote is better than mutilate during KB just cause of less stacks

#

but 7 cp evenom gotta be good too

#

bu er also does that so it would just be the capstone proc

#

hmm

slate crown
#

I would just say don't get too used to it. Double shrouded bug was fixed very soon after season 3 released

runic hinge
#

yeah, they don't want us spamming garrote in dm, they fixed that real quick

#

who knows tho

#

crazy it's a bug With subterfuge tho

#

make that make sense

#

oh wait

#

that's in the bug list

slate crown
#

Yeah was just looking

runic hinge
granite sentinel
#

fun fact: u can't use your ambush/shadowstrike during the subterfuge window on beta kekdog so spamming max cp garrotes is the only best option now

#

but u still silence the whole big pack during your opener and secure the pull which is big

slate crown
#

Well you can do that without subterfuge

runic hinge
#

yeah, imp garrote lets you cast garrote for 6 seconds same as subterfuge

granite sentinel
#

it's not that optimal for your dps, u better just garrote twice and slam fok

runic hinge
#

opener for aoe rn is like gar gar rup gar gar rup

#

or gar gar rup rup gar gar if you have sbs

#

mobs will die faster then u charge your full dm kb in that case xD

oh okay so I'm not too far behind lol

hollow river

same with stealth bar abilities not working with subt

doubt that makes it live where they nerfed it in s3 asap

#

or fixed rather

hollow river
#

yeh there's multiple bug around subt atm

runic hinge

we were spamming garrrote in shadow dance and they were like helllll no

so i'm seeing we don't tea again anymore during the later part of kingsbane? why wouldn't we benefit from the mastery buff to cover last 6 secs of kingsbane?

or is it more worth it to use it for energy instead of bane windows at the end

With 7 combo points now, at how many many CPs do we use finishers?

Are you guys using mouseover garrote and rupture Macro? Is it necessary?

Not really

Depending on the pulls you might not even need to tab from your current target

#

But it can be useful in large pulls if you can work with your mouse to spread dots more efficiently

But you do Not Need an modifier for that macro? I mean i can Write a macro to rupture/garrote on mouseover if there is no mouseover it applies on my current target
