I don't think it's even that common in a 1k guild

#

if you're getting CE, then everyone is kind of on board with just getting CE

#

unless you have m+ players in the raid team that are way better than everyone else

#

then they're fkin vibe terrorists

waxen oyster
#

like i cant ever be mad when dh gets something over me most of the time

#

since they’re in all the time for buff

royal lantern
#

nah, its wr 400-700 where you have 60% of the raid beeing guild hoppers, and they are angry that they dont get their best item setup asap (and then leave for 40wr higher at 4am in the morning)

#

we have so many gromnak soundboards

#

for when m+ers start grumbling about gear

waxen oyster
#

i have that

#

and heal my character soundboards

keen spruce
#

I saw the most guild hopping from new-mythic raiders / guilds

#

and people abandoning ship trying to get carried to CE

waxen oyster
#

honestly

keen spruce
#

so many 5/8 guilds just crumble after their best tier

waxen oyster
#

trying to get into the CE scene if you’re not an absolute god gamer

keen spruce
#

cuz their rosters just get gutted

waxen oyster
#

is a cesspit

#

the first 1-2 tiers

keen spruce
#

by late CE guilds replacing roster

#

I basically tripped and fell into all of my mythic and CE experience

royal lantern
# copper panther Maybe I’m just blind to it I haven’t been in a guild that isn’t entirely focused...

for me its like

current guild is WR 800-1100 with 2days, and its 0 loot drama cus everyone is focused on just getting CE fast, cus only 2raid days a week means you need to play a good bunch cleaner/progress and learn faster then most

then i was in guilds that where WR200-300, and it was just endless bitching about caster staffs and trinkets 24/7, and half the raidrooster was replaced at the last boss cus so many people left quietly during the tier

royal lantern
round nexus
#

Maybe I get time to do some top 1k raid guild in 10+ years. But then my reaction time is probably too slow anyway 😅

copper panther

#

Simply join a guild in OG BC that carries on to becoming a CE guild a decade later and always stay in that community peeposhrug idn not that hard

ancient rain
#

Bro this is so unfair...

waxen oyster
#

Isnt oce community like

royal lantern
waxen oyster
#

hella small

#

where everyone knows each other

copper panther
#

Oce is pretty small yeah

waxen oyster

at the higher end

I was getting free +15 carry give aways from a streamer in BFA s1
got so many carries that I had enough gear to help them do carries
they invited me to come raid with their CE guild
joined on jaina prog cuz some people had left. first time pulling a mythic boss that wasn't the frist 2 of a raid
first CE they didn't get
didn't play the rest of BFA
GM whispered me while I was playing diablo at SL launch and bought me the xpac so I could come RL their 2nd team
all 3 raid teams disbanded on SLG and guild died
same GM made me buy DF the day before launch to raid with new guild that he was trialing for
he got kicked the first week
we didn't get CE
chicken from original guild told me to come play with skyhold
got first CE

#

I took too long to type and conversation moved on

waxen oyster
#

I remember asking someone in honestly and he was just like

copper panther
waxen oyster
#

”yeah we just know whos good”

#

and yoink them

#

if they need new players

covert jewel
balmy condor
keen spruce
copper panther
#

Depends on the class aswell like genuinely good warriors do not exist oce they are very rare so honestly would probably know every good pick it they needed one

keen spruce
#

low CE guilds keep big tabs on gamers on their server

waxen oyster
#

No i meant they kept tabs on whos good

copper panther
#

Eroka is the warrior yeah

keen spruce
#

yeah that's what i mean

#

they keep tabs on other guilds on the server

waxen oyster
#

rip thorchas

keen spruce
#

and their best players

waxen oyster
#

Nukkz returned looking at ethical logs

keen spruce
#

there's servers that track guild disbands

copper panther
#

Sry good warriors exist there’s just not that many right eroka obv a god there’s a few other giga gamers

keen spruce
#

and it's like a pirhana feeding

waxen oyster
#

Yeah true I heard leech is a decent gamer albeit a personality

royal lantern
#

warrior strong? well, they gonna be the dumbest mf's you have ever seen

waxen oyster
#

And friends have kind of agreed, most long time havoc mains that are good at what they do.

copper panther
waxen oyster
#

Often have questionable personalties

dawn heath
#

can someone tell me whats breaking my stealth?

#

i shadowstep > ambush but stealth breaks so its presses CT instead (same bind)

royal lantern
#

did you rightclick

#

aka start auto attacking

dawn heath
#

no idea

waxen oyster
#

got told by gromnak he belongs in his own ape enclosure

#

in the zoo

royal lantern
#

our warrior died on the first mechanin on sikran

#

the first 3 pulls

#

idk how that even works

copper panther
#

That is

#

Impressive

royal lantern
#

like, what is doing dmg there that kills you??

waxen oyster
#

i watched a warrior in sanctum charge into boss

#

while he had chain pull

#

he got rezzed

#

and did it again

#

in the same 20 secs

keen spruce
royal lantern
#

3times the charm

waxen oyster
#

Did he like

#

get charged multiple times

dawn heath
#

i played it in slowmotion

#

still cant see

keen spruce
#

My GM is a warlord warrior dps

primal quest
#

is there any benefit to macroing thistle tea with shiv ?

keen spruce
#

hence our guild being called fking skyhold

waxen oyster
#

average warrior player doesnt know you can just d stance

keen spruce
#

but he very good

waxen oyster
#

on mechanics you run out with

keen spruce
#

RLs and does all loot

#

and does strats

royal lantern
#

you waste many many tea charges into nothing

primal quest
#

same thing about kings bane i guess

waxen oyster
#

why would you ever

keen spruce
#

just keybind it

copper panther
#

There was a conversation about this earlier tldr it’s not the worst thing to do in the world but if you care about your damage don’t do it just learn to correct timings it doesn’t make your cd window harder

keen spruce
waxen oyster
#

ngl start of sepulcher

#

i got asked if i wanted to play warrior that tier

#

in case the warrior trial was too big of a bonobo

balmy condor
primal quest
#

there any useful macros for assa tho?

waxen oyster
#

We dont have any buttons really

keen spruce
#

There must be billions of rogue players to have, on one hand, this many people wanting to macro tea at all costs and on the other hand, thinking that the tea change is 2nd cataclysm of azeroth

waxen oyster
#

you can macro on use to deathmark

#

if skardyn

copper panther
#

I think it’s fine on transmitter too if your not Insta proccing the buff

royal lantern
waxen oyster
#

would not macro transmitter to deathmark personally

#

but you can

balmy condor
#

transmitter should be cast before deathmark so you can finish the minigame when you press kingsbane

#

but that's a tough thing to do

copper panther
#

I tend to prefer to press transmitter earlier in cds (flag on sub) so it’s easier to get for the entire dmg window

waxen oyster
#

people who precast transmitter

#

are wild to me

royal lantern
#

people wo use transmitter

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

I've considered nerfing transmitter in sims because right now it's perfectly completing the minigame at +1 seconds into deathmark to last the last 15 seconds of your burst

waxen oyster
#

transmitter makes your initial ovinaxx pulls look good

#

when you wipe sub 1min in

balmy condor
#

having it just cast the trinket with dm and getting the buff asap was one of my ideas for nerfing it

#

but idk

balmy condor
#

it's always a very touchy thing

copper panther
#

I mean you kinda have to on sub cause if you ever get jump 3x you WILL miss your first ST in your window (as trickster) but imo just play skardyns instead on sin

primal quest
#

thanks for the /e pickpocket idea

copper panther
#

Skardyns is also better for execute damage im pretty sure and usually that’s what’s important

waxen oyster
#

stuck in gb jail

balmy condor
#

like I nerfed witherbark branch in sims as well to pick up the second and third orbs later than was ideal to make it more "human" in that regard

#

but idk

keen spruce
#

"/e spits on you" also good

#

AoE spit

waxen oyster
#

wasnt optimal witherbark to stagger all 3

#

or was that for dh not rogue

#

idr

copper panther
balmy condor
#

witherbark had like a window of orb 1/2 then extend 3

keen spruce
waxen oyster
#

with igira trinket and snake trinket

#

fucking painful

copper panther
#

Lmfao true that sounds rough

balmy condor
#

but it was difficult to hold the last orb for the stagger as long as sims

#

so I made it pick it up a bit earlier

waxen oyster
#

actually was like

#

the squidward meme

#

watching people play outside

keen spruce
#

the little wiggle shuffle to edge the last orb

#

made me both giggle and drove me crazy

waxen oyster
#

yeah idr what igira trinket was called anymore

copper panther
#

I’m very glad I was able to play sub for last 3 amir tbh could play ashes not branch

waxen oyster
#

i got nicholas in 3 runs though

copper panther
#

I think transmitter is less cringe to use than branch

keen spruce
waxen oyster
#

lol my last vault before extend prison in amir

#

was choosing between mythic ashes and brand

waxen oyster
keen spruce
#

silly trinket

#

my RL gave it to me for OL keys cuz our DH was annoying squishykek

waxen oyster
#

same tier they made mydas not contemplate yeeting your pc out the window

copper panther
#

I think later the meta was ashes branch for sub but I never did it cause I don’t care about logs in farm

waxen oyster
#

if you saw it in your chest

keen spruce
#

looting a mydas in bfa

#

was

#

somethin

waxen oyster
#

Oh yeah ashes branch on tindral was superior pad

keen spruce
#

that was a go-outside angle

waxen oyster
#

you’d branch vines

#

and ashes boss

#

i think i ran it since my other trinket option was at best sandglass

keen spruce
#

I got world 2nd +10 underrot with an m0 mydas FeelsLUL

#

took us like 2 hours

waxen oyster
#

instant logged off

#

told guildies im not playing wow today

keen spruce
waxen oyster
#

mydas in bfa

balmy condor
waxen oyster
#

was comparable to looting a haste neck in legion

#

valeera’s was ok

#

saved my ass doing world content

balmy condor
#

one of my fondest memories in the game is running prydaz/valeera in first boss eye of azshara and taking 0 external healing because I was just spamming feint and shielding the damage

waxen oyster
#

more than i care to admit

balmy condor
#

and the healer going "wtf rogue"

waxen oyster
#

i mean some people used pants

#

to feint in guldan wells

copper panther
#

I think I was 13 in legion playing havoc dh gg I have very little memory but I was told people wanted to die when it took forever to get bis leggo

#

Gear acquisition was heavey rng?

waxen oyster
#

oh yeah dh was

#

loot ring

#

or uhh

#

xd

balmy condor
#

yeah basically legendaries dropped randomly from content, higher content was a higher chance

#

but you could spam m+ for weeks and see nothing

#

and then walk into an LFR wing and see a guy get 2 in a row

#

and it was just horrid

waxen oyster
#

i got vendetta cdr boots

keen spruce
#

I don't remember ever getting a legendary

#

when I played on launch

#

I quit very quickly

waxen oyster
#

same votw the other 2 dps from azralon got knocked off the ledge

keen spruce
#

loot drops did me so dirty I came back as an affliction warlock in Antorus

copper panther
#

Sounds very rewarding and enjoyable

balmy condor
#

I remember getting my first legendary from heroic elerethe renferal

waxen oyster
#

hell yeah i loved doing

#

lfr normal and hc every week

#

for legendary chances

balmy condor
#

Idk, I was a lot more casual in legion but I have a lot of good memories from the legendary system and titanforging

#

even though I would hate it now

keen spruce
#

Blizz also just casually lied about throttling legendary drops

waxen oyster
#

i also got xavius shoulders

#

as a side effect

#

of lego farming at least

balmy condor
#

I have heavy rose glasses

keen spruce
#

nothin like the dopamine hit

waxen oyster
#

i think i was trying to pull mantle

keen spruce
#

from a fat titan forge

waxen oyster
#

from relinquished vendor

keen spruce
#

as bad as it was

waxen oyster
#

pretty sure it was on it

keen spruce
#

that was some good sauce when the slot machine hit

balmy condor
#

I remember spamming maw of souls and being happy

#

and that one trinket that was okay

waxen oyster
#

happy

balmy condor
#

angerboda or whatever

waxen oyster
#

doing maw of souls?

balmy condor
#

it titanforged like 40 ilvl

#

and everyone pogged in voice

#

and I wore it the rest of the tier

#

it was so sick

waxen oyster
#

on deaths

balmy condor
#

even now

waxen oyster
#

i like it besides like uhh

#

if i pugged a maw key

#

and the tank was a prot pal

keen spruce
#

fast, simple, blast

waxen oyster
#

50% chance he got oneshot

keen spruce
#

how m+ shoudl be

waxen oyster
#

by helya tendies

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

yeah

waxen oyster
balmy condor
#

simple but punishing bosses

waxen oyster
#

as long as dos

balmy condor
#

you could make pulls REALLY hard

#

or just go one pack at a time

keen spruce
#

the only reason maw of souls is remembered less than fondly

balmy condor
#

everything from the start into the first boss and lust

#

was just like

waxen oyster
#

I mean maw is probs my favorite key

balmy condor
#

peak blaster pov

keen spruce
#

is because it was the most efficient grind

#

so people ran it 7000000 times

#

all day

balmy condor
#

yeh

waxen oyster
#

second boss was brutal

#

on higher keys

balmy condor
#

I also loved darkheart because the route planning was so interesting cause that place had like 400% trash in legion

#

and you could skip like 25 packs and still get the count

#

but blizzard didn't like that apparently when it came back

#

:3

waxen oyster
#

they brought back dht

fallen arch
#

Now we have NW

waxen oyster
#

but added no new mechanics

royal lantern
#

:3

fallen arch
#

Where u have to pull close to everything

waxen oyster
#

why did they decide this expac

#

they need to add more mechanics

#

for old m+

balmy condor
fallen arch
#

Me neither

balmy condor
#

like actually one of the most illogical things in the game imo

royal lantern
fallen arch
#

Ye I guess

royal lantern
#

insane choice

balmy condor
#

adding packs to choose routes and if you can double pull stuff together or if you run a different way there's a more efficient pack later that lines up better with cds

#

like that's so cool

#

but blizzard went down the path of hold W and pull everything

#

which is just

#

????

waxen oyster
#

i do like going into nw pugs as this spec

copper panther
#

Keys are always more fun when there’s a lot of room for creativity with a route

balmy condor
#

even waycrest manor had that with the different paths you could run

waxen oyster
#

and healer asks where the minibosses hp went

balmy condor
#

and then they took that away too

#

like what the fuck blizzard

keen spruce
#

BRUH WC

#

MANOR

#

WAS A TRAVESTY

#

JUST OPEN ALL OF THE FKIN DOORS

keen spruce
#

THATS IT

balmy condor
#

waycrest was such a cool key

waxen oyster
#

best designed dungeon

#

/s

keen spruce
#

JUST HAVE ALL DOORS OPEN

balmy condor
#

yeah

keen spruce
#

IMMEDIATELY GOOD

balmy condor
#

and they just decided not to

keen spruce
#

and make the witches always spawn in the same place

#

cuz like

#

why add the tax of having to walk into m0

#

just to go look where the fkin witches are

#

once a week

balmy condor
#

but honestly, I think encounter design in general has gotten worse over the years lowkey

#

like even outside of m+

#

raid fights are getting worse

#

there used to be like 1 meh fight every raid

waxen oyster
#

what you dont like every endboss having an entire textbook

balmy condor
#

but now it's like at least 1 bad fight and 1 meh fight

waxen oyster
#

of mechs?

keen spruce
#

I think raid fights are getting too "new"

#

they're cramming in too much stuff

copper panther
#

I think this raid is pretty good but yeah I agree for the most part current m+ pool is miserable

keen spruce
#

to try to be novel

#

if they just did the basics well

#

and add in like 1 flavor thing

waxen oyster
#

why does sikran

#

force downtime

#

like every 20s

#

makes brood a boss

#

absolute cinema

copper panther
#

Despair

balmy condor
#

tanks are actually full agony

#

cause their tank mechanic design

#

is so giga shit

copper panther
#

Yeah tanks are gg

keen spruce
#

at least they're trying to make raid tanking interesting

#

they're just not doin a good job

copper panther
#

Is silken that bad? I didn’t mind the look but I haven’t done much prep only watched vods

keen spruce
#

rashok tank swaps

#

should be the default

#

that all future tanking is built upon

covert jewel
#

at least ovinax is going to be a meme next reset, so only court remains

waxen oyster
#

like

#

who designed zskarn

#

and said

#

yeah this is good

keen spruce
#

zskarn was almost very good

#

but it was just bad in the worst ways

waxen oyster
#

my actual favorite was sepulcher

#

i love swirlies

copper panther
#

Ovi’nax will be a meme for people who have killed or done a bit of prog I think guilds getting to it just now it will still be a real boss

waxen oyster
#

the same color as the floor

balmy condor
#

this is a 15 second window on rasha'nan

waxen oyster
#

W for visibility

balmy condor
#

and it's legit just a dot

#

because lmao you didn't immune it

#

monk on that fight is miserable

keen spruce
#

I was watching my guild prog yesterday

#

and the BM

waxen oyster
#

All I know for rash and brood

balmy condor
#

because they're a damage smoothing tank, not an "immune everything" tank

keen spruce
#

was getting absolutely farmed

royal lantern
keen spruce
#

on that boss

balmy condor
#

and it's just like

#

what

waxen oyster
#

is our warriors complain about being meleed

#

every pull

copper panther
waxen oyster
#

me when i get asked if i tricks tank on add spawns

#

yeah but my instant aoe is nothing compared to a warrior’s

#

gl

balmy condor
# royal lantern stagger not working again?

idk the exact details but the tank mechanic is that it does a dot based on the unmitigated damage from the tank buster, and something something something mitigate 80% but still get obliterated

#

I think it's a monk thing with stagger but I'm not sure if it's just monk bad

#

or actual bug

covert jewel
#

fixing warr's threat gen with tricks is hilarious

keen spruce
#

our monk was almost flopping to 2 stacks

#

3 stacks gg

balmy condor
#

that screenshot is 2 stacks lmao

keen spruce
#

BDK and prot war could float 3 stacks with defensives

balmy condor
waxen oyster
#

i mean even as outlaw you cant

balmy condor
#

and he mitigated 82% of the tank buster

#

and still got fucking obliterated

#

lmao

keen spruce
#

so brutal

covert jewel
#

i was actually called out today cuz cba trixing on ovi, not playing ct

waxen oyster
#

I mean

#

the problem with misdirects

#

is the classes with them

royal lantern
waxen oyster
#

dont do enough threat

royal lantern
#

well tested expansion btw

royal lantern
#

our warrior taunted and ran away and then melded

keen spruce
royal lantern
#

so the tank doesnt die

#

cus brewmaster has no deffensives on that enemy

#

Shh

#

Don’t tell anyone

royal lantern
#

grm batol endboss is also a fun one

#

oh you get a tank buster that 1hit kills you from full hp unless ylu have a STRONG deffensive up

#

and it knockbacks

#

oh and also adds spawn wide spread out that kill ylur teammates in 2hits

copper panther

and they hit you hard aswell

#

since im starting to do +10s should i use hybrid build or stick with bleed build

keen spruce
#

hybrid gud

novel star
#

hybrid is already better way below 10s imo

keen spruce
#

hybrid gud for everything

novel star
#

it really depends on your group

honest needle
#

does it actually have good single target cause the bleed build does not

novel star
#

no

#

rogue does not have good single target

keen spruce
#

it's better

novel star
#

but yes

#

bleed does make the st worse than it already is

honest needle
#

how much difference is the hybrid compared to bleed for single target

steel ridge
#

atleast threefiddy

novel star
#

not much probably

#

considering

#

once again

#

rogue st is just dogshit no matter what you do

#

dont build around it

keen spruce
#

hybrid just a better build

novel star
#

just play hybrid

honest needle
#

i run wiht a affliction lock and a demon hunter and all 3 of us suck at single target

novel star
#

if mobs die slower than like 15 seconds

keen spruce
#

your build is not going to fix that problem

novel star
#

hybrid is just better

#

and yes

#

for the 3rd time

#

do not adjust your build for st

#

it wont matter

steel ridge
#

hybrid is around 10% behind full raid spec

novel star
#

we are dogshit in st even with raid talents

keen spruce
#

it's not relevant to the decision of what build to play

#

u play hybrid

#

cuz hybrid is a better buid

honest needle
#

okay ty

steel ridge
#

its not gonna break your dungeon if a boss lives 10 seconds longer

quiet oar
#

Did i play hybrid in my keys monkahmm

steel ridge
honest needle
#

so my issue might be the comp and classes i run with

novel star
#

probably

keen spruce
#

I mean u can do 10s with any comp

novel star
#

^

honest needle
#

i dont think lock and demon hunter is good for me

keen spruce
#

but yeah eventually

#

In regards to tea during shiv when it doesn’t overcap energy, do we do this when we have enough energy to last the whole shiv duration? I’m mainly asking in regards to m+ st if raid talents affect things

keen spruce
#

that comp will hit a ceiling

agile kestrel
#

ideally are we wearing 5p or replacing chest with the one from M+

keen spruce
#

u replace chest

#

if your sim tells you to

agile kestrel
#

ye, thought so

keen spruce
#

but that's not somethin to really worry about

#

for quite a while

agile kestrel
#

I mean i have chest lined up already, just no set gloves, so it's one of those small min/max things

quiet oar
#

Hybrid Okay

keen spruce
#

well it might not be a min/max thing

#

is my point

#

until much later

agile kestrel
#

fair

keen spruce
#

but once you're in full myth track and dialing things in

#

it will likely be the one you drop

paper heron
keen spruce
honest needle
#

how often do u guys use tea only during shiv or do u press it outside of shiv as well ?

runic hinge
#

supposed to only press it during shiv

#

i press it outside cause im stuck in df and as long as you're getting the 100 energy it's like 80% efficient

#

but you should aim to only press inside shiv

agile kestrel
#

sometimes the boss is just at 3% and you dont wanna pool

runic hinge
#

if the boss is under 5% im hitting every button i got

#

tea, shiv without kb

#

anything

keen spruce
#

esc?

novel star
balmy condor
#

yeah if the boss is like 20 seconds from dying you should be sending legit everything you have left

my guild still 4/8 but we raid one night a week and i love them

#

i dont really have much reason to like or dislike my guild

keen spruce
#

u'd be 5/8 if u didn't show up blacked out this week

novel star
#

because i havent been with them for long

#

but we spent 2 hours on heroic court because of the most indefensible shit ive ever seen

so

leaning towards dislike

With my second guild, we got to 7/8 last night in 3 hours

thats how it should be

i was surprised

#

the boss is legit easy

#

but my rl decided to assign 2 hunters to the rope mechanic

#

instead of assigning 2 good players

We did it as tanks

and the hunters are really fucking bad

so

Me and the other DH tank

so you envenom, build cp, then wait for envenom to get to like 1-ish seconds remaining

#

and envenom again

they thought purple blast wave was dps increase, turns out, it makes them unalive.

Doesn't it feel good knowing that your dps ceiling isn't as high, and that you never have to worry about asking for loot in raid?

the heroic court kill was 10:52pm and immediately after is when the call was made to go try mythic again

(sorry for a "stats dont matter" question, but this is confusing me) I've been using hectic add cleave to approximate broodtwister and the sim REALLY likes haste for some reason. does anyone know:

  1. why would haste be so good for hectic add cleave with CT and no indiscriminate carnage
  2. is this even close enough to broodtwister to reference usefully
keen spruce
#

I don't think we use hectic add cleave

balmy condor
#

hectic add cleave likes haste because it's still inherently a single target fight and haste is good

#

hectic add cleave is probably the closest you can get to broodtwister to be fair

#

but closest doesn't mean close

keen spruce
#

i was hoping to be validated by whispyr, but alas, i have been betrayed once again

balmy condor
#

and I think the adds on hectic add cleave generally just last way longer

#

I haven't looked into hac in a while

#

but I wanna say maybe 12 second uptime on 6 adds?

#

for 60% of the fight

#

or something like that

keen spruce
#

how does the HAC sim compare to your patchwerk sim @onyx sigil

balmy condor
#

so like KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDA

#

but not really

#

so it's like 12 seconds of 6 adds, 8 seconds of nothing, then adds again

#

which is very much not the cadence of broodtwister

onyx sigil
#

my ST sim in the same spec is crit ~= mastery ~= haste >= vers (stats dont matter)

#

but the hectic add cleave has me like change rings and regen and enchant for like 3-4% gain

balmy condor
#

are you running CT/sang blades?

onyx sigil
#

not sang blades, yes CT

balmy condor
#

hm

#

I mean CT will pull haste up

#

but not that much

keen spruce
#

maybe HAC broken and shmeeps was right

balmy condor
#

I mean HAC is completely unsupported yes

#

but I can't think of a reason why it would like haste that much

#

unsupported in the way of like, there might be nonsense that it does that the sim can't account for

#

but in theory the sims are written in a way where it just works

keen spruce
#

im gonna slap on some multi-hour 40k lore videos and honk shoo

balmy condor
#

I can't really recommend it for gearing decisions though

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime

Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

idk why

You need to tricks him out of stealth

Yeah. Should tricks after you open

Brann is in stealth too so it sends the aggro on someone not in combat and bugs out

Hey, I had a quick question, on guides it's marked to keep garrot and rupture up during the fight, if this is AOE, should we keep CT as well ? Or just funnel envenom for the rest of fight ?

smoky sonnet
#

Only thing I didnt know was the offhand irrelevance

vocal minnow
#

its not that its completely irrelevant. its just a "normal" item upgrade without the fat weapon bonus you get from mainhand

#

so most of the time its better to get something else

most of the time mine looks like this in pugs

where we just pull pack by pack

brisk plank
#

Question for M+ optimal play, when going from pack to pack stealthed, what is preferred opener, ambush or garrote? Is it better to ambush to get mark immediately or would it be better to open with gar and get your garrotes, rupture, caustic maybe even CT up asap and only then hit max cp envenom as you still have darkest night up from the previous pack? Or it doesnt matter much?

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

  • Garrote is roughly 10-12% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon
  • While Without a Trace can allow for better vanish timings, the difference in damage provided is at most replacing a non-stealth opener with a stealth opener (you aren't necessarily getting "added" casts, just "better" casts)
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

personal opinion, didnt look at sims, this seems reasonable to me

#

Daft question, are their any caps for our stat prioritys as i currently feel i have a little too mich mastery and not enough haste 👀

clever sapphire
#

yes

#

when the sim tells you to pick the vers/haste item

over the mast/crit item

#

thats your "cap"

Oh im good then yay 😅

(there is no 🧢 )

if you have DN you cant consume any marks so no need to put up a mark (afaik it still exists and it never consumes)

may someone smarter correct me if im wrong prayge

Im so glad i asked then, i was blindly opening with ambush from pack to pack not even paying attention to consuming marks

clever sapphire
#

i also do that because i dont wanna hit a moment without a mark dracthyr_kek

If thats the case i think its just better to spread bleeds and then go for max cp env

clever sapphire

its more of a failsafe for me

loud hearth
clever sapphire
#

i mean we could consume marks before

maiden sierra
#

Trinkets confazzle me, my delve trinket is simming higher than skardyns trinket

then they fixed the bug where you lost your mark if you had DN up and consumed the last DS stack with a 7cp envenom

and with that fix now we cant consume stacks with DN active

it is numbers vise

#

gameplay is a different story

maiden sierra
clever sapphire
#

and i will take my gameplay and like 0.7% dps loss over playing a shitty minigame mid bl aoe pull in a +12 or whatever

maiden sierra

The only explenation for why my delve trinket sims so high is prob because i have 12k mastery base

#

what trinket is it?

#

and whats your skardyn ilvl

maiden sierra
#

The serum one

clever sapphire
#

eh just send the sim

maiden sierra
#

Dont have it on me, did sims yesterday at home, at uni now

clever sapphire
#

i mean if serum is higher ilvl than skardyn its probably gonna outsim it

#

BUT serum is a 1.5sec channel

maiden sierra
#

I just did droptimizers for heroic skardyns vs heroic serum, serum 2k more dps at same ilvl

#

Cast time RHsad

maiden sierra
#

Yeah its a bit aids

clever sapphire
#

aight im also simming it, 5 min patchwerk

#

lets see

maiden sierra
#

Thats why i want skardyns to sim higher pepehands

clever sapphire
#

okay hear me out

#

you are doing what, 1M dps?

#

take 2k out of that

maiden sierra
#

1.160m

clever sapphire
#

now you are doing 998k dps

#

are you reaaaaally gonna bother with that 2k dps

maiden sierra
#

Yes

clever sapphire
#

that you could just get back with a lucky kb proc

#

or whatever crit proc

#

XD

maiden sierra
#

Any dps upgrade matters progging mythic

#

How else am i supposed to sim higher than my 0 parse on mythic rashanan?

(I hate my life)

so ye its 3.8k dps higher than my 606 skardyn

but i cant macro it
