Thats fine

south lava
spice surge
red wolf
#

ah gotcha

rocky granite
#

So I was just hitting the training dummies at Stormwind and noticed Deathstalker's Mark refresh on the Raider's Training Dummy, but it refreshes in the PVP Training Dummy [from Darkest Night]. Is this a bug?

spice surge
#

Its incredibly weak though

spice surge
red wolf
#

that explains why none of the builds take that talent anymore, I didn't even notice it wasn't the poison application one anymore since the icon is the same lol

#

wait nevermind I'm just dense ignore me

ruby oyster
#

If they ever tune up that talent I just hope there is alternative ideally making spec a bit faster

normal mist
#

we already have a fast spec

#

we dont need to be faster

oblique jackal
#

i just did my first +16 key e ver

ruby oyster
#

Waiting for energy to pool and chaining envenoms was often slow even if avarage apm doesn't show it

oblique jackal
#

with 630k BH

normal mist
normal mist
oblique jackal
#

idk if thats good but damn im proud!

normal mist
#

You DID a 16, thats awesome

red wolf
#

You timed key = it's good

oblique jackal
#

yeah at a 17 now

red wolf
#

Overall dmg is dependent on so many factors out of your control that it's not really relevant

ruby oyster
oblique jackal
#

so true!

normal mist
#

s3 = s4

#

and TWW s1 will probably feel the same

#

since nothing really changed

ruby oyster
#

Well I been playing assa almost exclusively for 18 years or so and I never had least fun than in s3 so maybe it's just me but there was clearly a change how it feels to play assa

royal lantern
#

i mean

normal mist
#

But we've been pooling for so long

royal lantern
#

assa gameplay in S3 was not really different

#

like, at all lol

#

that gameplay was always optimal

#

the tierset just amplified it

limber lion
#

Not true

limber lion
#

We did not forcibly chain Envenoms. Dropping them did not matter whatsoever.

#

Chaining was a misplay.

royal lantern
limber lion
#

Lol

royal lantern
limber lion
royal lantern
red wolf
normal mist
ruby oyster
royal lantern
#

we never played around sanguine

#

sanguine just exists

limber lion
#

Yeah but it eats energy, that's what he's saying

ruby oyster
#

yeah and suddenly dropping regen when you pass 50% feels wierd af to me

royal lantern
#

yeha, but it didnt made assa slower

#

like, assa in DF was really fast overall

limber lion
#

But I do not buy the "18 years of Assa"

royal lantern
#

like

#

BfA/SL assa was slower then DF lol

limber lion
#

Because EP Assa was so damn slow

#

This is like turbomode in comparison

#

EP Assa around 45apm, current Assa hanging around 58apm or whatever

balmy condor
#

ttw at least slows down a little bit

#

but envenom uptime is still a billion %

limber lion
static glacier
#

if env uptime was deadge would we even change anything

#

wed just pool before every env for 2 muts

balmy condor
#

we'd play around rapid injection and sanguine differently yeah

static glacier
#

rapid injection would be even worse

balmy condor
#

wdym would be even worse

static glacier
#

say they halved env duration

#

you'd have less opportunities to proc rapid injection in a fight

balmy condor
#

sure, and it would get buffed to compensate

static glacier
#

either way i'd think the prio would be fitting env > mut mut maybe 3rd mut and wait

#

unless im mistaken I think fitting mut in env is more valuable than fitting env into it

#

being 2 hits and all

balmy condor
#

what

static glacier
#

im picturing how we'd play if we had low env uptime

balmy condor
#

you would chain a couple of envenoms back to back and then break your uptime and repeat

static glacier
#

idk why im imagining a world where chaining more than 1 env is impossible

balmy condor
#

idk why you're doing that either

static glacier
#

then I remembered we have 300 total energy

#

xd

jaunty dew
#

@balmy condor How did the energy felt on ST?

#

I get that on m+ we can get decent regen on AOE but how did it feel on ST?

#

Did you feel a lot of downtime in order to pool?

peak bobcat
#

bro this spec has energy out of the ass now

#

theres not a lot of downtime

#

you spend maybe 6 seconds a minute "pooling"

jaunty dew
peak bobcat
#

on st

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean envenom uptime is near 100%

#

energy ain't a problem

peak bobcat
#

if you actually follow the pandemic rule of envenom then theres almost no downtime due to lack of energy

#

especially with tea

spice surge
#

I mean theres definitely downtime inbetween the envenoms, but not like 10 seconds of waiting like in s3 when you wanted to reset your chain

#

But ye it doesnt really matter as you keep the buff up anyway

peak bobcat
#

i remember in bfa and SL starving for energy

balmy condor
#

I remember season 1 dragonflight forcing me to press envenom with nearly 4 seconds left on the buff just to avoid overcapping energy

#

and then I remember season 2 dragonflight doing the same thing

peak bobcat
#

yep

balmy condor
#

and then I remember the rework going "hey yeah envenom uptime might be crazy high that's weird" and them nerfing it to try and curb the uptime

#

and then I remember logging into tww beta

#

and the uptime being near 100% again

#

THE CYCLE OF LIFE

jaunty dew
#

Is there an updated bug list?

balmy condor
#

pins

jaunty dew
#

Says content not available

spice surge
#

The picture is in the message

balmy condor
#

mother fuck

#

discord timed it out again

#

piece of shit fucking app

#

there

#

should be back

spice surge
#

Depending on build ofc but its like 48 or something last i checked

balmy condor
#

yah

ruby oyster
# limber lion But I do not buy the "18 years of Assa"

i mean i said "mostly", high or low apm isnt the only factor (especially as its usually average) so while in the past it was lower context was also different, obviously this is extremely subjective but i just had negative experience going from s1/2 into s3 (despite raid being quite enjoyable) and i genuinely dont remember feeling as bad playing assa in the past

balmy condor
#

blizzard just actually has to go back to the drawing board with envenom

jaunty dew
# balmy condor mother fuck

Well, might be known but I just noticed that using S&D on an ER combo point results in only a 23~ second buff

balmy condor
#

yeah that seems reasonable

#

that's probably what, 3 cp?

jaunty dew
#

ye

balmy condor
#

ye

spice surge
#

Its the same ER bug as the one with internal bleeding, and the one with darkest night

balmy condor
#

intended

spice surge
#

Or wait nvm ye

balmy condor
#

no

spice surge
#

ER is only damaging finishers

balmy condor
#

slice and dice just doesn't work on ER combo points

spice surge
#

So it shouldnt work with snd

jaunty dew
#

but it burns an er combo

#

ah no

#

nvm

balmy condor
#

it definitely doesn't HM

jaunty dew
#

im blind

#

xD

oblique jackal
#

Wow! I got a 98 parse for my first ever +16.. Let's gooo!

rotund oak
#

parsing in keys

balmy condor
#

I hate to burst your bubble

#

but mythic+ parses aren't based on performance

oblique jackal
#

oh i know

balmy condor
#

oh okay

oblique jackal
#

still super pumped though

balmy condor
#

+16 is big

normal mist
#

The orange color is pretty

rotund oak
oblique jackal
#

I parsed 62 for ilvl which is 521

balmy condor
normal mist

keep pushing

oblique jackal
#

royal <33

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

probably

rotund oak
#

or is there a better build

balmy condor
#

no clue

rotund oak
#

i dont think it can be faster than sub anyway

#

just wondering

balmy condor
#

you're out of your mind if you think I'm gonna try and waste time optimizing talents for 6 hours of cutscene-simulator every 2 years

rotund oak
#

i think its just mroe compfortable tbh

#

but whatever

#

ye

balmy condor
#

I mean play the more comfortable thing then

static glacier
#

doubble vanish is bis for questing

balmy condor
#

how would me telling you that something is 0.5% better make your leveling experience better

balmy condor
spice surge
#

Its the validation, not the pecentages whispyr

rotund oak
static glacier
#

dropping combat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> actual dps

balmy condor
#

but I also think most people will finish a pack

#

and then stealth again

static glacier
rotund oak
balmy condor
#

like unless you're some gigachad leveling speedrunner are you seriously gonna be chaining open world packs

#

that seems kinda bonkers

static glacier
#

and double vanish for having two charges of dropping aggro

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

dropping aggro when you're solo questing Thinkge

static glacier
#

thats my logic, i think er is good but the alternatives are more useful

static glacier
#

or pulled a pack and got the quest item with 3 mobs left

balmy condor
#

yeah it's called just like

#

running away

rotund oak
#

i think er rotates its cd pretty fast tbh it shouldnt be that much of a big deal

#

tea vs er

static glacier
#

er is great, a hard hitting gen with chunky envs attatched

rotund oak
#

anyway just my stupid night brain thinking stuff

balmy condor
#

I'll tell you rn that the guide will be tea er deeper

fallen shore
#

im doing dogshit st

static glacier
#

cook up ur own levelling build, it's fun

balmy condor
#

do with that what you will

fallen shore
#

in m+

#

please god whispyr help me

balmy condor
#

do the damage you're doing, but more of it

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

that's my big pro tip

#

nah but like idk what the issue is without seeing logs or something

#

could also just be talent stuff

fallen shore
#

u maked me look like im a good rogue im doing hella dps on opener and packs and shit

balmy condor
#

bleed build is a bit behind in single target

fallen shore
#

but on st idk

balmy condor
#

yeah assa st isn't great atm

royal lantern
#

🤢

fallen shore
#

give me a spec that does st

#

i mean talents

balmy condor
#

arcane mage

#

ain't really much to do about that

#

play hybrid

fallen shore
#

what talents can i change to still doing aoe

#

and st

balmy condor
#

and if that isn't enough for you, you're out of luck

fallen shore
balmy condor
#

yeh

#

perfect

fallen shore
#

what do i change here to do more st and still with aoe

balmy condor
#

nothing

fallen shore
#

as u can see im top dps in details

#

thanks to you

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

that is the most single target

fallen shore
fallen shore
balmy condor
#

no, assa single target just isn't giga crank

fallen shore
#

i like to do the big envenoms

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

like assa on beta slams keys because it does big aoe

#

the single target is lacking

#

single target is lacking in raids too

#

nothing to be done

rotund oak
#

im gonna kick their asses and prove u wrong

#

will catch up in couple of months

#

I do find it kinda funny though that everyone played basically full single target in mythic+ for season 3 and 4 because "aoe doesn't matter"

rotund oak
balmy condor
#

but now that assassination aoe is huge and the single target sucks

#

now all of a sudden assassination is giga m+ spec

past forum
vestal wren
#

overall damage matters ^^

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

tell that to all the mplussers that argued the opposite half a year ago

vestal wren
#

i mean

#

i remember assassiantion one tricks arguing that prio damage was the be and end all

#

but also not on subtlety even tho it did it better

rotund oak
#

fuu comin' in guns blazin'

balmy condor
#

yep

vestal wren
#

my point is not to say they are wrong, just that perspectives are diffrent

hexed frost
balmy condor
#

all of season 3 people played a raid build in single target for "big prio damage"

#

instead of taking scent of blood

#

which is easily a 10% gain for prio damage with no rotational change

junior aurora
#

bigger number better person and we might be some very esteemed individuals next patch

vestal wren
#

and what is considered right or wrong seems very subjective.
I think you ideally provide what your push group needs

spice surge
#

Whispyrs point is that its the same people that say both of these things

#

With the same groups

balmy condor
#

like I don't mind if it's just "my overall damage is what I am and bigger details bar better" but at least admit that you're in that mentality ya know

you don't have to try and gaslight people that you're some gigabrainer with the secret technology of how to time 100% of your keys

The secret trick to timing keys is to try them 20 times and one of the times youll win

i think you commented on it with max, but having the talent just give you a 1m cd would be nice

problem is that 1 min vanish can't exist

Subterfuge as a 2 point node than is dead for pve is certainly something

balmy condor

I'm overdosing copium that those 4 talents are placeholders and 11.0.5 will replace them

#

they just don't make any sense

spiral warren

tired gull
#

what about a talent where, while in combat, stealth can be activated on a 1m cooldown

balmy condor
#

interesting concept

inner swift
royal lantern
past forum
#

Does fudge even let you be flexible when you apply mark? Or is that another talent that doesn’t interact with our hero talents?

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

honestly if they just deleted nightstalker and then left dance it's probably better than what we have now

balmy condor
past forum
#

Like I’m not pogging in my pants over that, but it’s sooooomething

balmy condor
#

but you wouldn't want to anyway cause if you do like idk, gar er rupture ambush

#

you'd miss out on 1 stack of the mark

tired gull
#

i didn't play at all in dragonflight, came back about a week ago and leveling and got some BIG 480 gear, so i haven't experience some of the changes much, but i like where sin is for the most part

balmy condor
#

so you'd have to gar ambush rupture if anything

#

which at that point why are we taking subterfuge?

#

so we can gar amb

#

instead of amb gar

#

huge

past forum
#

If the point was literally free then I would probably press >0 cheap shots over the course of the xpac, maybe

inner swift
# balmy condor huge

i mean 1 thing i can think of is when for some reason you get out of stealth you could ambush after few seconds dunno

balmy condor
#

yeah in a hypothetical where that happens and you don't have the capstone for some reason and your vanish isn't available

#

definitely useful

prisma wyvern
#

6sec stealth is for PvP. No more dance so we Can stun in stealth but longer cd

royal lantern

look at the chat yesterday

and all you saw was people screaming IT DOES DMG IN M+ BETA STOP COMPLAINING WTFFFFFFFF

solar laurel
#

yeah at least top 300

tired gull
#

it will probably be fine, unless some kind of tuning passes happen to make it not fine

solar laurel
#

i was wondering cuz some1 showing me the Outlaw is the best atm for raiding

desert cove
#

wherever you saw outlaw being the best for raiding needs to be avoided

tired gull
#

honestly it's probably going to depend, but also remember you'll typically perform better on a spec you enjoy and understand most

desert cove
#

even if outlaw sims higher (it doesn't), the fight design heavily effects the outcome of your dps

solar laurel
#

yeah i totally agreed

balmy condor
#

big fan of play the spec you're good with regardless of spec

#

but yeah whoever told you outlaw is the best for raiding has a massive dent in their head

desert cove
#

like I might still play outlaw for raid if the dps difference isn't massive

#

I can live with a ~10 to 15% dps loss

#

I'm not pushing HoF

balmy condor
#

I played assa on smolderon

desert cove
#

I decided to swap to sub then

#

did outlaw until that boss

#

couldn't justify the dps diff, and I didn't like sin at the time

They continued to wipe on it for an hr. No time was lost on my end lol

#

will Shadowmeld trigger Indiscriminate Carnage when out of stealth when the expac launchs? saw it didn't worked on Beta...

balmy condor
#

no

#

you have to go into stealth for shadowmeld to do anything of value

#

shadowmeld itself won't trigger improved garrote, shrouded suffocation, iron wire, or indiscriminate carnage

floral vale
#

Is it a known bug or intended behavior that if you have Darkest NIght, and then you max combo point a new target that's low health, and that target dies, you now end up with no buff?

#

shit like that is why it's nice to play with 2x vanish tbh. That just happened to me in a key and then the tank chain pulls into a boss right after

#

would have had no ds buff for 2 minutes 😦

desert cove
#

DS in keys

floral vale
#

fair

desert cove
#

just kidding, check the bug list

#

it's in the pins

floral vale

yeah i didn't see it in that list

but i don't know if i'm just not reading the list right

subtle tundra

idk considering that its impossible to keep fatebound buff up between packs, ds in keys seems like the only option

i don't actually know what specifically causes it, but it seems to be if the mob dies from my DN empowered envenom it just poofs away the buff

lavish geyser
#

is assa decent apm? idk I feel like when I watch pikaboo, play assa in pvp its like assa can be played fast. Is this false? 🙂

spice surge
#

Well pvp is an entirely different thing

lavish geyser
#

how so? You use a different build? that generally is faster?

hidden herald
#

It’s pretty fast in PvP I’d say especially to land cc combos you gotta be pretty quick on the old sticks and react fast to situations

spice surge
#

Because you cant really track it in the same way, sometimes youll have high uptime and sometime you dont

hidden herald
#

If anything

#

In PvP

#

Getting restealths is hard habit to learn for new players. Like sometimes you legit just run away to a pillar and do nothing

lavish geyser
hidden herald
#

Just for improved garrotes and cheap shots

#

Yeah every 1 min you have a go with kingsbane and dbl shit

#

Shiv

lavish geyser
#

ah okay

#

and in pve its just slower?

#

cause you play for longer?

hidden herald
#

In keys its quite fast with new the energy gen I’d say

royal lantern
#

#pvp is for pvp peeps tbh

hidden herald
#

Raid feels giga slow cause of pooling

royal lantern
#

nobody here really touches pvp

#

ty for answers

hidden herald
#

If you want fast play outlaw 🙂

lavish geyser
#

Well I do XD. But with loss of acro its gonna be hell playing dungeons

#

that was kinda why I asked if it was decently fast

static glacier
#

i wonder if it's a reroll race angle

lavish geyser
#

just in case law gets too horribler to play

royal lantern
#

the outlaw acro brainrot hits really hard huh

lavish geyser
#

it hurts to not have it :CCC

haughty flicker
#

sin is on the slower end in raid, in keys you have good enough energy in aoe but again on st it slows down

lavish geyser
#

okay I see

#

people be calling this assa slow 😦

lavish geyser
#

I dont raid much tbh

Probably not very niche while leveling tbh

But then again, leveling

#

Hey yo I see Kush opening with ambush instead of garrote while mobs are grouping in m+ why ambush to start?

yeah it's the beta I'm watching

floral vale
#

i have two clips from one key!! lmao

balmy condor
#

you are the first person I'm hearing this happen to

#

idk

#

I guess don't do that

floral vale
#

yeah i guess don't do that 😦

balmy condor
#

idk how you're so precisely killing the mobs with that exact envenom that has darkest night

balmy condor
#

like that's gotta be some sort of hidden power

#

but yeah that bug probably can't be fixed

#

the only way they could change it would be to apply the mark first, but if they apply the mark first then the envenom lands after and consumes a stack of the newly applied mark

#

that doesn't work

carmine lily
#

Is there anything out there for talent builds while leveling in TWW? or is it just M+ builds to 80?

look it's a skill issue

i need the wheel chair extra vanish

but if i can keep the damn debuff off now that i figured out what i'm doing wrong maybe i have evolved

to the next level

#

what if they made subterfuge actually good ThinkHard

subtle tundra
#

people would play double vanish cause QoL or smth but didnt talent acro and complained about the dps loss for it

junior aurora
#

Any of you guys notice the influx of assassination rogues running prepatch keys? is it cuz we got buffed? Also a bunch of affliction warlocks too it's so random lol

#

Also did we even get buffed yet I thought that was whenever the xpac drops. my damage does seem pretty spicy though

subtle tundra
#

not random, assa is currently doing very high aoe and people talk a lot about it so sheep will follow eachother

Yeah and the fact several youtubers are like "Sin is S tier go go go"

#

Doesn't help

junior aurora
#

I c i c. Maybe a nerf by the time mythic rolls out in new xpac? Idk why they'd want the class they put the least work into hero talents with to be doing the best dps lol

#

I don't think there's an argument to be made that our hero trees are all pretty uninspired, and the buffs we have gotten seem to be pretty lazy just paving over the actual issues

slate crown
subtle tundra
#

i think everyone that has played assa before is expecting nerfs

#

thats how it is normally when assa is doing well

junior aurora
#

It honestly seems like the logical conclusion based on the fact that they probably want the classes whose hero talents pack the most pop and visual flare to be the most prominent during tww s1. just a guess though idk we'll see

hey yall do you doule stack shiv in kingsbane or wait for timer

DM -> shiv -> kb -> 7sec left on kb shiv again -> thistle tea at three seconds for mastery buff but maybe that's not as important anymore because of kb cap nerf....some people say vanish during last three seconds but yeah....since stuff is changing maybe it'll change? but i'm still following shiv kb at 7 seconds shiv again then thistle tea and dps is good

subtle tundra
#

6 seconds left for mastery buff

during dm

balmy condor

what

#

no

#

none of this

subtle tundra

what?

junior aurora
#

😦

subtle tundra
#

have i missed a lesson

balmy condor
#

tea isn't attached to kingsbane anymore

haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

neither is vanish

#

there is no "cast X at __ remaining on kingsbane"

#

that's not a thing

subtle tundra
#

i swear i read tea at the end of kb in dm only

junior aurora
#

When do you use thistle tea then?

balmy condor
#

during shiv if you're under 200 energy

junior aurora
#

Okay so you only use thistle tea during shiv but only use shiv during kb so therefore you're still thistle teaing only during dm/kb but no longer tied to the time in the window for the mastery buff?

balmy condor
#

correct

#

there's no hard timing for it

#

it's just energy + mastery during shiv

#

regardless of when that happens

junior aurora
#

gotcha 🫡 ty

balmy condor
#

usually that means during DM you only tea once, sometimes not at all if you're in lust

In aoe should I hit 2x rupture from the thing that gives me back cps or use the refunded cps on something else

past forum
#

There are times where you shiv for pure AP value, right? Did I read that somewhere?

balmy condor
#

and during non-dm kingsbanes there's times where you can even double tea

but it has nothing to do with any kingsbane values

up to you king

Ok thats weird then

most don't last

unless people (like me) really like the "rogue" theme around the class fantasy, why would you play a class thats somewhat difficult instead of picking up ret and pressing everything that shines and pops up and doing more dmg?

balmy condor

idk, I just show up and do the best I can to spread the knowledge and entertain and that's all I can do

tired gull

has rogue historically been one of the lowest represented classes? other than maybe when lego daggers were a thing?

Rogue has been one of the least played classes in the game

balmy condor

that the worst thing an audience member could have isn't hate, it's indifference

tired gull
balmy condor

if the audience hated the performance, they at least took the time to internalize it and form an opinion

so at least they were paying attention

whispyr i feel like you did a really good job speedrunning all 3 specs, though I don't have a lot of context from dragonflight, just from reading the discords and stuff, you did great

well if outlaw went more gunslinger like whisper said hed like, then the lack of acro would be a bit better

ok new bug: when the phase transition in grim batol happens the ds bug disappears

there's 4 talents on the spec tree that require stealth
without a trace is a 4 point investment

you cracked the code

i honestly have 0 idea how hero talents work

shadow badger
balmy condor
tired gull

😄

#

for coin flip, as an example, does it alter your gameplay at all? or does it just exist, and you might get 7 in a row and a -perma- stat buff?

it be existing

so that's my "fun" review

and then we get into the issues

what if you had double vanish in mists

what if blizzard just fixed their shit

fatebound for m+ simply cus it atleast works on all fights kekman

subtle tundra

no no you play fatebound in the mists where ds sucks
nvm you literally cant keep in buff in the maze

floral vale
#

yeah no

balmy condor
#

last boss siege I managed to lose my capstone as well

floral vale
#

tbh i think ds in keys is really fun

tired gull
#

what's the potential for coins in a super long, high key, where you never left combat for more than 10 seconds (not necessarily reasonable, but what's the ceiling)

balmy condor
#

wdym

tired gull
#

does multiple 7 in a row stack more statS?

balmy condor
#

no

tired gull
#

oh

#

nvm then

balmy condor
#

the stats are one time

#

if you manage to flip 7 in a row again at any point while you have the stats up

#

it does some damage instead

tired gull
#

ahhh gotcha

balmy condor
#

from my testing that extra damage happens 2-3 times a key

tired gull
#

makes sense to not be completely broken in certain situations

balmy condor
#

maybe if you chain like a god you can get it 6-7 times idk

#

like if you're just dragging the entire dungeon

tired gull
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

I can see it proccing 6+ times

#

but I was just doing kinda lower learner keys

#

and it was 0.2% of my overall damage

#

and didn't matter for shit

it's mostly a raid thing I think

#

but even then it's not really anything

yes, I've been saying this for years

it's way way better

i like that you can go back and rewatch a portion instantly in the same viewer

#

only thing i use stream chats for is to ask streamers questions

balmy condor
#

my favorite is you can just hit the live button and it'll instantly skip forward to the current up to date

slate crown
#

My primary followship of media is youtube and youtube streams, so when someone is only twitch it's me going out of my way to watch them

balmy condor
#

on twitch you pause for like 5 seconds

#

and it's DOOMED

#

gotta reload the whole page

slate crown

well the thing is

balmy condor

and then suffer through adds again

slate crown
#

Even if there was a lagtime or delay with yt going to live

who cares

it's a vod

just go backwards

imagine that

yeha it is

tbh, we have collosus and slayer warrior

which is just "warrior" lol

balmy condor
#

yeah but like for me, I'm in the marcelian stream pretty frequently answering questions and stuff they have

#

but if I step away

#

and I'm like 25 seconds behind

#

it's awful

spice surge
balmy condor
#

so I have to keep reloading the twitch page over and over and over

slate crown
#

just swap to double speed on the live feed, you'll catch up in 25seconds

and not miss a beat

balmy condor

that's not a thing on twitch is it

i watch youtube nearly exclusively on at least 1.5x

if I watch on double speed?

balmy condor

I mean suffer is a strong word

tired gull

wait does increasing watch speed actually affect watch metrics?

balmy condor

yes

that's wild

that's realliy dumb

you're consuming the same amount of media

balmy condor

not really though

I mean I'm giving you premium viewership buckaroos so w/e

balmy condor
#

youtube is in the business of keeping you on their platform

#

for as long as possible

tired gull
#

that's fair

balmy condor
#

if you watch a 20 minute video in 10 minutes

tired gull
#

just means i can watch more videos

balmy condor
#

that's 10 minutes for youtube

#

they don't care that you just sped up a 20 min video

#

they care that you spent 10 minutes on their platform

slate crown

So what you're saying is I should always watch your videos twice

balmy condor

yeh when you go to bed, put my video up on loop at 0.25x speed

#

to hyperinflate the videos watch time

floral vale

good thing we'll have to target farm trinkets from the worst two dungeons

balmy condor
#

and then the algorithm will think the video is doing big numbers

#

but yeah

#

can watch this

#

it explains how it works

pure moth
#

I tried keeping a video on loop ages ago. Eventually the views stopped counting.

balmy condor
#

which is 600% retention

#

my retention usually hovers around 35-45%

#

if I put out a 10 min video, average viewer is gone in 4 min typically

#

and surprisingly, that metric actually keeps up

#

28 min video gets around 9 min

#

lots of graphs and stuff it's honestly fascinating

#

mythic+ videos also get on average higher retention than any other video I release

random fossil
#

Whispyr I watch your videos 10 times to make up for those mfers that leave after 4 mins I love u bwo

#

No homo

balmy condor
#

regardless of what exactly I'm talking about, if I have chapters in the video, what the title says, if I have a thumbnail or not

#

thumbnail usually raises the impression click through rate and gets more people to watch

but the statistics per viewer hardly waver
