So bumbling wax has been fixed ? I could apply it today. Dealt 0.5% of my overall in 10

Bubbling Wax can once again be applied to weapons of all levels
There might still be bugs and odd things happening to it that hasn't been tested yet, but it seems to be working based on initial testing

Na procced on both trash and boss. Performed a bit better in term of overall dps on boss but make sense since the dps is much lower than on packs

How much haste minimum are we supposed to have?

!pooling

Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on envenom

  • For Fatebound, Sanguine Blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
  • For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play Vicious Venoms instead of Sanguine Blades as well.

The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more Envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.

@balmy condor is there any argument for not pooling if it's DN env for hunt em down uptime?

#

bro is complaining about free enchant

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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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 >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
  • Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

guys do you trust raidbots about trinkets?

#

it feels kind of random

limpid sleet
#

what poisons do i keep up for pve? Since we have the 4 poison application thing skilled for raid

iron ivy
#

Hi guys, anyone got any tips on dealing damage on broodtwister Ovi'nax? I get 49% parse, but others seem to do way more damage on caustic spatter.

waxen oyster
#

so your options are almost non existent

prisma monolithBOT
#

You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:

Lethals:

  • Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
    Non-Lethals:
  • Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB

Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used

that solves one problem

yep

Fury warrs smash those small adds they dont let you play

its not even a joke

indeed

clever sapphire

so did merci

iron ivy
#

Ah might be the case šŸ˜„

static glacier
#

since we're talking a few different possible conditions, if anyone's simmed these apls it'd be whisp

young dust
#

on 10s and higher keys are you running atrophic or numbing poison?

static glacier
#

eg pooling extra hard on 1s mark so we can have like 3 globals til dn is proc'd after it

Darmoon Deck: Ascenscion

clever sapphire
static glacier
young dust
#

the top parser for example has only 1 frost and 1 warrior in their comp, he runs CT and farms a lot

clever sapphire
#

CT is also good boss dmg

iron ivy
#

Ah makes sense, thanks everyone šŸ™‚

clever sapphire
#

so its not only for aoe

young dust
#

tank positioning is also an issue, if your tanks aren't stacking well adds on boss, caustic wont spatter

hardy prairie
#

do we spend our animacharges on refreshing bleeds or just send them on envenoms?

spice spire
#

If dn is up only for envenom

#

Otherwise whatever makes sense atm

clever sapphire
#

(personally dont take this as a rule) i just spend it on whatever i need at that point dracthyr_shrug

young dust
#

in fact casualaddict did top parse without CT on brood

clever sapphire
#

oh so my personal opinion is the smart way, confirmed by quake himself easy

waxen oyster
#

wait does ct dam snapshot

#

of how many targets you cast it at

hardy prairie
clever sapphire
#

yap

clever sapphire
#

thats why it was worth week 1

#

to press it when the orb affix spawned

runic hinge
clever sapphire
#

maybe im just coping

young dust
runic hinge
#

But it’s better to cast it on things that live because the efficiency is in the full bleed

young dust
#

2.2 overall, 1,13 on broodtwister, with CT

#

2.2 overall, 1,25 on brood without CT

#

it all comes down to what your raid needs the most i guess

waxen oyster
#

Where spatter

clever sapphire
#

also he had more kb crits

young dust
#

no spatter because im checking the boss only

#

not adds

clever sapphire
#

so 1 more kb and 1 more DM gonna mean more boss dmg

#

logically

well CT scales off target hit so it should do as much as an envenom or more shouldnt it

How crucial is it to get a stealth reset (drop combat) between pulls in M+?

grim vigil
#

anyone wanna look at those raid builds and tell me the difference and situations they would be better, CMQA27SZpS4XnmFfcXRqkppuwPjZmhZmxyMAAAAAAMbDWmBAAAAAg22mZGegZGMzMLz2MjxAzMzMzYmNLjZA2MLDMglglhJwwCA

CMQA27SZpS4XnmFfcXRqkppuwPjZmhZmxyMAAAAAAMbDWmBAAAAAg22mZGegZGMzMLz2MjxMYYmZGzsZZMDwmZZgBsEsMMBGWA

first one uses sanguine blades and improved garrote, second has 2 points in vicious venoms, most top parses use those 2 builds i just wanna understand the difference

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

Quirex log review

strange python
#

Guys is there anyone that can run some log reviews for me? Was relatively decent at sin a few expansions ago but really struggling to get the hang of it atm. I feel I'm definitely getting there in m+ which has been my main focus but in the weekly raids I'm lacking a bit. Been trying to take snips from here and following the guides as best I can but feel I'm still falling down

#

think pooling and KB usage/energy for is my biggest letdown but would really appreciate a critical eye

#

when I say a bit, I mean a lot....compared to what I would like

nova aspen
static glacier
#

this was on princess

calm tendon
#

hmm.. bubbling wax is fixed .. at least we can use it again on higher weapons

static glacier
#

other than that be a bit more disciplined with tea usage

calm tendon
#

anyone checked if it procs now correct?

static glacier
#

you're double teaing in cds on pull and overcapping energy with second tea

#

you'd rather hold and send it with KB on 1m where you'll not be saturated with energy due to no dm / lust

wild hound
#

Ahh right, thats smart! So only use one tea per window?

static glacier
#

and if you are gonna double gar for w/e reason on 1 target try to space them out as much as possible to maximise uptime

wild hound
#

With DM that is

static glacier
#

!tea

strange python
static glacier
#

essentially you send it during shiv under 2 conditions

#
  1. you're at 3 stacks - send
gloomy jacinth
#

Hi guys, please, I just dropped Ara-kara trinket, but I have Ritual Knife (both hero track). Ritual Knife sims better, but in the guide it's A vs S tier. Is Ritual Knife really better?

static glacier
#
  1. you're not going to waste the 100 energy it gives
#

the first condition makes you send it with dm on pull

#

if you can burn enough energy you can send a second, otherwise you end up sending 1-2 on kingsbane at 1m

wild hound
#

Okay so prio the energy of it over the mastery when at less than 3 stacks

static glacier
#

yes

#

since we really do starve outside of lust + dm

wild hound
#

That's great feedback, will use it with more thought!

static glacier
#

in general you're playing well though

#

all this stuff is minor

wild hound
#

Thanks a lot ā¤ļø

static glacier
#

this is a lil illegal too

nova aspen
#

i can confirm bubbling wax is working with only my offhand pogg

static glacier
#

we ideally don't want to gar or rupture during shiv

dusty ocean
#

A guild mate and I were talking and we are unsure which is correct: if you only have one charge of tea available for a Kingsbane window is it better to use before Kingsbane for the mastery buff to the initial hit or during your second shiv in the Kingsbane window for the mastery buff to the big Stack dot?

yall crack me up šŸ˜‚

#

Can I sim for mixed gems? Trying to see if mixing gems is better than bis stat

#

Right now sims tell me to stack haste/crit, that doesnt sound right :S

royal lantern
#

and you use tea with shiv when it gives ENERGY

#

not mastery

#

the mastery is a small goodie

#

the enregy is the real part of the ability

runic hinge
#

Energy is over 80% of the value

#

Mastery is just kinda neat

keen spruce
#

And I don’t think you can sum mixed gems because there has never been a time in the history of wow when it was ever worth doing that

slate robin
#

Ah OK, thanks

keen spruce
#

We’re talking about low 0.x% at absolute most

#

and more likely closer to like in the hundreds of dps

#

Not thousands

slate robin
#

Ah OK, so the Prismatic gem just sucks? xD

winged basin
#

bloodmallet says we like Sikrans for aoe, is that dependant on pulling a weapon from the trinket that does cleave? I got a hero one from raid last night, and just curious if I should swap out my Void Reapers in keys for it

keen spruce
#

Well prismatic should be best

#

U gotta select those separately from the other fema

#

Gems

slate robin
#

I mean the crit effect per unique gem

keen spruce
#

Oh didn’t know that was a thing

#

Probably doesn’t matter?

slate robin
#

0.15% crit effect per unique gem

keen spruce
#

Or you could swap in some random gem

onyx sigil
#

You can absolutely sim mixed gems and it’s a lot better, lol.

winged basin
#

ooh I can put my 2 cents into this, the difference is pretty miniscule, I think I got more damage from just getting the extra gem slots bought, than I did from the crit increase itself

keen spruce
#

Maybe I’m behind the times. That effect sound good enough to jumble gems

waxen oyster
#

mixing gems was even better for outlaw for me

#

despite that spec hates mastery

keen spruce
#

But I guess what I meant is that optimizing a jumble of gems is not going to be significant on its own. But yeah if there’s a meta gem effect then it’s probably worth for the same reason

#

Since the dos difference of the gems themselves is so minimal

#

That free dmg from the meta gem would basically just be free real estate

slate robin
#

I will just check raider io for top rogues and do what they have done, cant go wrong that way haha

onyx sigil
#

this is how you sim it on raidbots

slate robin
#

Thanks

onyx sigil
#

then you just select all the colored gems you want to sim obv

the crit effect is practically free

Would Mastery Eng Bracers technically be better than LW bracers?

It’s just a time amount of dps 100.6% crit damage is barely more over a whole key

How do we get caustic to go up? I compared some of my brood pulls with others and their caustic is doing 60+ million more

static glacier
#

!pandemic

prisma monolithBOT
#

Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs

arctic socket
#

And tank dependant

they are likely using it with empowered ER

keeping ct up is highest aoe prio outside of indescriminate carnage pretty much

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

# kindred elm Yeah ok just thought 2-3 percent seemed low af

Yeah the trouble is just that getting vers to a % that would be meaningful in m+ as a defensive would kind of grief you damage. And getting a couple more % won’t have any noticeable impact on survivability so there’s no real point t

I feel like it’s multiplicative

static glacier

but yeah, once you start doing content where you need to cover a ton of things with defensives you start dropping cheat

Evasion + feint doesn’t feel like a 60% reduction on aoe

since it's more than anything a safety net

Facts

keen spruce
#

we need a new term

#

for these two scenarios

calm tendon
keen spruce
#

yes but it's not chain pulling

drifting cloud
#

if the mob dies on the way to the new pack you can still stealth even if they pulled the next pack

keen spruce
#

we need new vocab to prevent every restealth discussion to devolving into this nonsense

drifting cloud
#

so just stay slightly back in that scenario

balmy condor
#

him specifically

#

no one else

calm tendon
#

stupid

keen umbra
#

Does somebody know why i'm always getting out of stealth in the mists maze as soon as those adds spawn? In every room

keen spruce
#

why not call pulling a single mob under 5% hp into the next pack "yanking"

drifting cloud
#

thats why god gave you vanish

keen spruce
#

and actual chain pulling gets called chain pulling

heavy trail
#

There is progress, did a dungeon and although it's not a lot of damage its +300 or so compared to my last one from a few days ago only about 5 ilevels difference so mechanically I am getting a bit better lol.

problem solved

#

well problem not solved

#

but my mental might be salvaged

calm tendon
keen spruce
#

well no it wont

#

nvm

so every pull your vanish is on cd and every pack is getting chain pulled at 5%

damn weird doesnt seem to happen in my keys

it doesn't happen

prisma monolithBOT
karmic merlin
warm vortex
#

ok silly question

#

what does /focus do

keen spruce
#

sets the target as a "focus target". This has it's own nameplate and remained focused even if you target other mobs

#

you can then make macros to cast spells at your focus target instead of your main target

#

which lets you do things like interrupt or CC mobs while hitting a different one

spice surge
#

Basicly "marks" a target that shows up on your UI (similar to how you see your own frame or your target) which you can then easily target and/or make macores that automatically hit that target

royal lantern
spice surge
#

Like shmeeps said mostly commonly used on a mob with an important interrupt so you can then hit another target and still get the kick of without the stress of looking through nameplates

warm vortex
#

Oh so if i have like
3 mobs
a b and c
i can focus c before the pull so my kick will auto hit that?

keen spruce
#

yes but you'd need to have a macro like /cast @focus kick

#

i don't remember the exact syntax but something like that

warm vortex
#

Hmm alright

#

cause i think it might be easier for my intterupts than tab targetting haha

drifting cloud
keen spruce
#

it's definitely something worth getting used to. it'll require a few more keybinds

#

but definitely makes managing CC and interrupts in hectic pulls a lot easier once you build the muscle memory

drifting cloud
#

you can add it on a modifier on same key for example

keen spruce
#

ye lots of people would do something like F for kick and ctrl+F for focus kick

warm vortex
#

Ah ok

drifting cloud
#

how did you know my kick was on F

#

wtf

warm vortex
#

my kicks are always on 5

#

and im sorry
i know this is the most dreaded question here

keen spruce
warm vortex
#

but for stats
is it a safe bet to stick to mast crit

#

ik you got the like

#

!stats thing

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 >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
  • Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
warm vortex
#

or whatever

#

but still

drifting cloud
#

yeah

#

like you wouldnt want 0 haste, 0 vers assuming same ilvl

#

but you can get close to it

warm vortex
#

Oh it's that big?

#

sadly ive got so much dumped into vers

#

14K

drifting cloud
#

no other way around, ilvl is usually better

keen spruce
#

i mean if you don't care about maxing all of that u can default to crit/mast and not feel bad

#

but yeah agi is all that really matters

#

especially rn when you're still gearing

#

robot will eventually want you to put some haste on your gear

#

sometimes it will want vers

#

but it's not gonna be a cataclysmic difference

warm vortex
#

yea my statrs rn

#

i started as playing pure sub

#

then went to sub/assa

#

now prolly gonna main assa but play sub if its better in a certain fight

keen spruce
#

yeah if you asked the robot it would probably move stuff out of vers

#

but it's not that big of a deal

warm vortex
#

Yeye

#

first hting i wanna get is the grim trink tho

drifting cloud
#

think I had like 16% crit before I got my queen ring

Also looked at the opener for aoe, we cast rupture after bone spike? Does the combo point amount not matter for that or is it me misreadin

runic hinge
#

Bonespike is auto cast with rupture

warm vortex
#

Yea ik

#

does it fill the points?
im super loopy rn so mb

runic hinge
#

If there’s at least 3 mobs you’ll get 1,2,3 combo points and fill your bar back to 6 so you can cast rupture again

#

I hope that makes sense

#

Each bonespike will hit with a slight delay and give you another combo point for each one already out

#

So you’ll get 6 points when you first press rupture
