shiv is a fake button in m+ tbh

smoky belfry
#

Sometimes you just gotta throw some respect on the Willem

novel star
#

i just use that bitch for the soothe

smoky belfry
#

Ah okay I think I figured out why it was reading weird to me now. It’s the # on the target not the # of instances of application? Right?

balmy condor
#

what number

#

you cast kingsbane

#

it starts ramping

#

with every poison

idle inlet
#

should I pool energy at all before kingsbane windows or is it not something I need to worry about?

coral ibex
#

you should have tea charges for kingsbane so you can freely spam envenoms

lucid rain
#

you'd delay transmitter for 30 seconds to pair it with deathmark, yes?

errant mauve
coral ibex
#

you do but only at the end

novel star
#

but its only single target damage

#

so

smoky belfry
# balmy condor with every poison

I read it as the ramp occurs only when a poison is added after KB is cast. So that was my confusion. Bc shiv applies a poison each time. I thought you were basically not benefiting Kb from the first shiv . All cleared up now I think. Ty for answers

nimble ether
#

It removes enrage

coral ibex
#

me when i make the enforcer go from HUGE to normal sized

nimble ether
#

Really Good for certain packs

#

Literally lol

errant mauve
#

What dungeons have enrage mobs? Which mobs I’ve been a fool this entire time

coral ibex
#

they're all over grim batol

lucid rain
#

I think the tacticians do in dawnbreaker

cinder bone
#

yeah just look for the crazy red eye icon

lucid rain
#

grim batol with the enforcers

cinder bone
#

a good plater profile makes it pretty obvious

coral ibex
#

the big guys with the tremor casters also can get shivved

#

idr what they're called

nimble ether
#

My m+ tank always yells SHIV

#

Wen an enemy enrage Lolol

lucid rain
errant mauve
#

Hmm I use quazii plater but a lot of the icons are pretty small and it seems cluttered a lot with a lot of mobs and their plater up

coral ibex
#

i just know mobs by their plater colors lol

coral ibex
errant mauve
#

Lol

coral ibex
#

but saying "the pink guys" doesn't mean anything lol

balmy condor
nimble ether
#

Slice and dice him

#

While making link attack noises for the Dps buff

lucid rain

#

and not just send skardyn's at the very end for no reason

shadow badger
#

L play better bozo

smoky belfry
bleak spoke
cinder bone
#

never mine though OMEGAKEKW

bleak spoke
#

i lose like an average of like 25% of my transmitters i swear to god

#

underwater in siege, off the ledge in ara kara, in the lava in grim batol or in the chasm, in the chasm after 2nd boss mists, etc etc

static glacier
#

highkey

#

id rather run double passive over transmitter in keys

bleak spoke
#

i'm just playin skardyns and spyglass in key idc

#

just interested in whether or not this is good

#

in an academic sense almost OMEGALUL

static glacier
#

its worse than skardyns just bc of the requirement vs just working

bleak spoke
#

yeh

mighty zenith
#

What level of keys should we swap to the m+ hybrid build?

bleak spoke
#

which one is that is that the standard build

bleak spoke
#

like CT, 4 capstones, 1 shiv, iron wire?

#

literally every m+ key yeah

mighty zenith
#

oh yeah im dumb thought there was a build w/o kb

#

dont mind me ♿

slim pebble
#

Should I throw gilded into this if I have a crafted 636 already?

bleak spoke
#

goes to 639

slim pebble
#

I know

bleak spoke
#

i did

slim pebble
#

Just didnt know if those 3 ilvl would be better than spreading out my gilded to other things

bleak spoke
#

weapon dps is unmatched

#

in value

#

at least mh weapon dps*

novel star
#

until u actually get the 636-639 upgrade i think its kinda mid

#

cus its just offhand ilvls atp

bleak spoke
#

well yeah

undone crest
#

Does anyone know if its worth it to hold Transmitter trinket to be used with deathmark?

novel star
#

but yeh

bleak spoke
#

if it's actually an upgrade then it's good otherwise it's bad OMEGALUL

novel star
#

long term investment its obv worth

slim pebble
#

I think I have 82 gilded

novel star
#

just wont see it immediately unless u can max it out

slim pebble
#

IDK if thats enough

bleak spoke
#

75

#

to go from 1 to 6

novel star
#

it is enough ye

#

but idk sim it xdd

#

im cranking gilded into skardyns atm even tho i got myth dagger drop cus idgaf

#

but a smarter person

#

sims it

bleak spoke
#

after pullin dagger out of vault i did my 8 10s for the week insta OMEGALUL

bleak spoke
slim pebble
#

I maxed my hero track skardyns last week!

novel star
bleak spoke
lament stump
#

r guys using transmitter

bleak spoke
#

i was until i got skardyns never using it again

lament stump
#

r u *

bleak spoke
#

LOL

lament stump
#

oh i c

#

i thought assass was suddenly going transmitter i was like god no pls

bleak spoke
#

i mean it technically sims better but

#

i literally cannot be asked

#

in key at least

#

in raid its not bad

outer marlin
#

my parse on court is lower than my other parses, what should my goals be in that fight to max dps 🙂

lament stump
#

any1 other specs use it ?

#

ik sub its a must have

bleak spoke
#

subtlety

#

uh dh, as of this morning cuz they fixed their apl OMEGALUL

#

fdk

#

udk

lament stump
#

hmm

bleak spoke
#

ret pally it's good on too i think

lament stump
#

potential of it getting nerfed ?

bleak spoke
#

also lots of ranged specs play it alongside spymasters

#

and send it as their normal cd trinket then send spymasters fully stacked

lament stump
#

i thought transmitter was relatively niche so i wasnt concerned about it being clearly the best for sub

#

i just hope it doesnt get touched lol

bleak spoke
#

i mean it's the chase drop off one of the late bosses in the raid

#

they rarely hit stuff like that except between tiers if it's still outperforming stuff from next tier

lament stump
#

okay gotcha thx

#

first season fr

bleak spoke
#

hope you're enjoyin the game

lament stump
#

learning sub to have as another rogue spec to play

#

and its been like

#

but other than sub being the way it is the game is good

#

plus i love to mog

cinder bone
vocal cypress
#

question; follow the sim suggestion or should i take the cape and get rid of my last champ piece?

slim pebble
#

Does ascendance not stack if it sin offhand

novel star
#

it does

cinder bone
novel star
#

but you can also just craft armor with the nerubian doubler thing

#

and get the same shit without having to waste a spark on offhand

slim pebble
# novel star it does

I have no idea how this sim is working out then. 639 MH and 636 OH is Simming as a 10k dps loss vs what I have now

lament stump
cinder bone
#

sub chat is all masochists

#

bring back Legion sub

bleak spoke
bleak spoke
#

if it works for you it works though

#

i usually use it for a few hours at dummies after capping a new spec, but its more interesting than reading an apl usually

cinder bone
#

the old sub gameplay of just lining up dance and symbols and spamming evisc was so much better

bleak spoke
#

but it's also given me like misinformation before KEKW

vocal cypress
#

any1 have any input towards my question uwu

bleak spoke
vocal cypress
#

trying to finger out my vault selection q.q

bleak spoke
#

hard to pass that by imo

#

like

#

cloak is lowest value piece tbh

#

in terms of total stat

vocal cypress
#

yeah fair

bleak spoke
#

not that you know

#

waist is really high value

#

but like

vocal cypress
#

and rashman cape chance too

bleak spoke
#

yeh

cinder bone
#

yeah gotta take the socket i think

vocal cypress
#

i didnt realise how weighted socket was this season i guess

bleak spoke
#

if you take the cloak and you take rashnan cloak next week then you're perma mad

#

they aren't

cinder bone
#

^

bleak spoke
#

they're the weakest socketss have ever been

vocal cypress
#

ahh

bleak spoke
#

it's just the waist itself has more agi

vocal cypress
#

but cape just even worse

#

yeah

#

yeah point

#

like 400 500 more

#

agi over everything realistically

cinder bone
#

you'll get cape from your heroic cache this week anyway

vocal cypress
#

nah nah

#

we want it from mythic bb

bleak spoke
#

i have a 606 belt on cuz i'm waiting for the 90 crests yeah, it's got 2.1k agi and my 619 cloak has 1.7k

#

like

#

it's a lot more

#

LOL

vocal cypress
#

cheers for the breakdown man

lucid silo
#

i macro transmitter to deathmark right?

bleak spoke
#

socket just makes the deal a bit sweeter

#

in the long run if the catalyst one is good you can catalyze it

#

if not you'll likely keep the piece for a long long time

#

catalyst piece is haste vers for belt, probably unlikely that it'd be much better

#

but regardless

bleak spoke
#

do you actually play around the scroll of momentum btw

vocal cypress
#

nah i just havnt had any trink drop x.x

bleak spoke
#

oh it's just a passive proc

#

i thought it was the one you had to run around for

#

i think there's a delve trinket like that

vocal cypress
#

nah if ur got the stacks u get teh buff

#

it promotes sitting still

#

which i mean

#

u cant exactly do too much in any of the content

bleak spoke
#

wait when it says scaling up with current movement speed

#

can you pop sprint to make it hit hadrer

vocal cypress
#

yeah

#

and roar

bleak spoke
#

maybe on outlaw you could do something like that

vocal cypress
#

and totem

bleak spoke
#

but

vocal cypress
#

any speed increase

bleak spoke
#

i wouldn't just send sprint like that as sin LMFAO

vocal cypress
#

😂

bleak spoke
#

kinda cool that it rolled with speed though

vocal cypress
#

better hope theres a target nearby where u wanna go for the step

bleak spoke
#

LOL

#

wait movement speed meta gem actually owns

#

given the strikethrough gem is so negligible to begin with

#

LOL

vocal cypress
#

actually

#

i should probs adust my gems accordingly

#

for the meta gem to be better effective with the momentum 😂

#

probs negligible

bleak spoke
#

i think it's like usually within error whether or not meta gem condition is used, for the crit dmg one

#

so it's probably gonna be equally negligible

#

LOL

vocal cypress
#

yee

bleak spoke
#

but it's still kinda fun to look at

#

as a gear set

vocal cypress
#

definitely 😂

#

my gear set is only just gettign sorted from being like oh shit what spec do i play this season :'DS

vocal cypress
#

niceee

bleak spoke
#

+2% for flensing (which they still refuse to get rid of)

vocal cypress
#

how do u think i feel sub-par-sin only tickling 1m's cheeks 😂

gritty sundial
#

Does anyone know why the rogue plater profiles are messing with friendly nameplates also?

vocal cypress
#

the whyspyr 1?

bleak spoke
#

scuffed

gritty sundial
#

All I've tried so far. I just want one that changes enemy nameplates and removes clutter/has pandemic windows

#

Any recommendations?

slim pebble
#

!wa

gritty sundial
#

Tbh they all have the same issue

#

I have tried them all half won't recognise the import string and the others mess with friendly nameplates

cerulean nest
#

what's a solid defensive usage on kyveza looking like? evasion for charges when possible

#

otherwise feint when out there for orbs?

#

cloak for intermission

bleak spoke
#

feint the impact of the queensbane when she picks you

#

that's 33% of the total dmg

#

of the dot

cinder quartz
#

!restealth

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.
bleak spoke
#

if you hit evasion you cover the shot and the whole dot

cerulean nest
#

okay nice

bleak spoke
#

when you send the bowling balls (the second shot), you feint

#

the other thing you can do is literally just feint for both

#

and hold evasion for intermission

#

and then you cloak the bottom of intermission when everyone gets lines

#

(assumin you're talking about mythic here)

cerulean nest
#

ye

#

one sec stioll pulliung

scenic kiln
#

is the wowhead tree for bloodbound okay for mythic

#

or shouyld i be taking other ct and other talents

#

instead of just relying on caustic

novel star
#

dont consider ct on any boss except mythic ovinax

#

tbh

#

i mean you can play it on court but its bleh

scenic kiln
#

ok

#

it felt like

#

i wasnt doing any cleave on ulgrax either

ruby birch
#

do i play sin or sub for court

scenic kiln
#

but maybe i shouldve just been rupturing instead of relying on caustic

ruby birch
#

we are not killing this week

#

most likely killing next week

#

does sub still beat sin for that after they fucking gut it up and down

bleak spoke
#

play whichever spec you'll feel sentimental about both are changing forever next week

#

if you like echoing reprimand and how it feels play sin, if you like shadowdust play sub

ruby birch
#

well

#

the issue isnt that

#

its just they're kinda deleting sub next week and idk if sin is any good at this fight

bleak spoke
#

sin probably better

nimble ether
#

What happening to ER?

bleak spoke
#

they're getting rid of it

nimble ether
#

No kiddingc

#

??

ruby birch
#

they're changing it

#

to something arguably better

bleak spoke
#

you can go on ptr wowhead and look at the talent tree and see what they're replacing it with

nimble ether
#

Yeah I read that they were replacing the talents but not removing it

bleak spoke
#

like basically shiv makes next 1/2 (one talent point each) cast with 2 extra cp value

#

but uh

#

that's not the same

#

i've grown to like the minigame

#

tbh

nimble ether
#

Don’t like that

slim pebble
#

One less button

#

A key bind for my wing buffet in a week

runic hinge
#

I would almost unbind tea too

nimble ether
#

So wait they’re completely removing echoing reprimand?

#

I’m confused I can’t find what I read before

bleak spoke
nimble ether
#

Is that a yes lol

#

Like as in it’s totally gone?

bleak spoke
novel star
#

but yeah

nimble ether
#

Wow so it’s just some passive that changes your mutilate to do more damage ?

#

Kinda don’t like that

novel star
#

shiv makes ur next few finishers act like they consumed +2/+3 cp

#

meaning

#

u just finish at 5/6/7cp like normal and it deals damage like 8/9/10

#

during shiv

nimble ether
#

Sounds like it might make damage happen faster ?

cerulean nest
nimble ether
#

I just hope they keep the animation for ER lol

#

Sad about this

scenic kiln
#

is ther ea tree up for 11.0.5 yet

nimble ether
#

Yeah someone linked it above

bleak spoke
#

have been watchin/analyzing my guild's prog the whole time KEKW

#

but yeh assassination is the shot, queensbane is the dot

#

when the nether rift starts the dots over on the first one

cerulean nest
#

alright well ive been trying to evasion it and i still get clapped and have the dot lol

bleak spoke
#

no like

#

you're playing elusiveness

#

and evasion wall on the deathstalker tree

#

you're using it as a magic dr for 40% basically

#

you don't not get the dot KEKW

#

you're just the person in the raid with the most powerful tools to deal with the intake in this fight

cerulean nest
#

yeah I didnt realize you were talking abotu the elusiveness/bs

#

makes more sense

severe sparrow
#

what's the best strat for ulgrax adds on mythic, just rupture and spatter on one?

bleak spoke
#

i imagine so, you're trying to beat people to the punch on them pretty much

Can someone help me find my major areas of improvement? I'm just returning to the game this expac and was trying sub, I sucked at it according to parses, so I'm back to trying assa again. I used to be decent at it, but I tend to be in the blue range on heroic since my return

Things I'm aware of and (trying) to work on:

  • Always using two shivs over kingsbane window
  • Whether or not to hold anything for better line-ups (deathmark off CD, KB coming up in 15 seconds, trinket in 10 sec, is it worth holding everything and waiting? If trinket is off CD but abilities don't come off CD for another 30s, do I send anyway? etc.)

Ignore our queen progress, it's painful 😅

sullen mural
#

I aint looking through all of em

#

But yes, you always hold trinkets for deathmark

#

No reason not to

#

You dont wanna empower your mutilates with transmittr so just wait 30secs

#

DM and kingsbane should come up at the same time aswell so that isnt a problem

Silly quiestion - do we try to keep 100% uptime of sanguine on single target?

#

Like, never go below 50 energy?

sullen mural
#

Ideally

coral ibex
#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

VV and Sanguine setups are so close in % to eachother

that it really doesnt matter all that much

But on rashan i can see sanguin value

coral ibex

people take sanguine bc they're running imp garrote builds

sullen mural
#

cuz that fucker Flies around so much

#

and u get free dmg

cunning needle
#

if you take VV, you ignore pooling to only 50% right?

torpid lion
#

and you get the high execute uptime on ur bleeds

golden loom
#

You get a lot of blindside procs so VV has a lot of value also on rashanan right

torpid lion

i run VV

#

but i kinda hate it

sullen mural

I just checked my log on silken court and killed the boss 1 min earlier than you but casted more envenoms

#

Also 6 kingsbanes in a 7 min fight even if waiting for dmg amp phases i think u should be able to fit atleast 7

vagrant tapir
#

at high enough crit/mast, does vers become a high value stat for us? Looking at the wowhead guide I'm surprised to see they recommend at 5 tier pieces, I would have figured a crit/mast chest would be better or even the haste/mast one from CoT

sullen mural
#

just sim it

#

there is no "at this stat threshhold does X stat become more valuable"

cunning needle
#

there is when you run 0% haste kek

vagrant tapir
#

that's sort of exactly how your stats work

cunning needle
#

oooops

vagrant tapir
#

that just doesn't translate to "use stat weights to determine your gear"

echo talon
#

!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 >> 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

hi, guide writer here

I don't care enough about the bis list to optimize it because the people who can make use of the bis list don't need it, and the people who look at the bis list don't need to know which tier piece to unequip cause they're gonna ignore grabbing myth track tier pieces cause chest = bad, so the entire gear page is designed to be:

  1. SEO fodder for google
  2. "Get high item level obvious items"
  3. Actually useful information

# vagrant tapir its just out of sync with how the rest of the current wowhead gear guides are wr...

yeah, I'm trying my best to prevent absolute dumbfucks from pigeonholing themselves into a corner

If you notice, the crafted gear on the gear list is haste/mast, but everywhere I write to craft with crit/mast. People that read the guide will intuitively understand that the secondaries don't matter cause I tell them to sim themselves and all the crit and shit is whatever and secondaries and close and change and blahblahblblahblalahblahbalh. But the people that open bis list, look at item, and then craft based on that? Those are the fucking apes that I need to bubble wrap for, so I hide shit like that, expecting them to be idiots

parsing is more about group comp and time to kill than your own performance

yeah kill time plays a big part

like ovinax, if you dont have any DKs to grip in adds you ain't parsing above a 50

I think dps parses are pretty on point. Sure, youre not getting no 100s, but its about how you keep up with your rotation while doing mechanics.

sorry if this has been asked before but im curious, how much should I be optimizing around sanguine blades?

sullen mural

!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.

why would you enjoy yourself playing games, when you can spend 100% of ur time writing how to paly the game, so when you dream you can dream of palying the game, instead of having time in your day to play it

or rather dick-measuring contests

Quick question, Does mandate become better than ara kara trinket if we time the cd? or all cases Ara kara is better ? wanted to know for both raid and m+

or is CS still worth taking for ulgrax and add intermissions

(most bosses have some sorta add)

Its the complete opposite

u can just take CS on all fights if you are too lazy to swap off it

whats up with skardyns vs transmitter

vs zero caustic damage because single target

i have 626 transmitter rn have myth skardyn in vault but even maxed 639 it sims worse its still considered bis?

torpid lion

let caustic splash off our character man

somber sparrow

i bet it's because primary stat is technically better, but you have to perform tasks which might actually lose you performance that a sim doesn't really have to do?

torpid lion

just let it

Doesnt the sim almost insta complete it when you send it with dm

you can soak the reaper hit cuz it's 10m

U diecotherwise

Make that dream happen guys its possible

We need dr

I just play Cheat on that fight

i cloak the charges

so no orb debuff

earnest remnant

dont think it does

earnest timber
#

Not trying to feely craft

bleak spoke
#

@earnest timber i think the best thing that happens with feint is when you're talented into elusiveness while getting picked, you 40% stuff like nexus rift etc

earnest remnant
#

need elusiveness

bleak spoke
#

and also you get the 20% dr on the stalking shadows

earnest remnant
#

if you wanna feint charges + orbs

bleak spoke
#

but also from when you get shot for queensbane to the last tick it's 9 seconds so you cover the whole thing with evasion

earnest remnant
#

anyways just cloak the charge, fuck going out with orbs

miss me with that shit

back to the boss we go

Yeah, I've been cloaking middle charge

just cloak any you get

you dont need to press anything at all

oh and also

use HP/stone in the intermissions

so if you are sub 60% when regicide is on you

!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 >> 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
