the answer is always sim stuff for yourself but generally I see sacbrood just being ok in m+
behind stuff like skardyns, spyglass, crystal
so like this?
ait ty mens
yeah i mean the other good option is bloodweeper from forge of souls
with nightmare illusion
makes the red glow really pop
I feel like you should drop doomblade to get ttk
I never saw that sexy elf on our talent tree š®
in that
?
well he still isnt taking sbs
put it in ttk
is this new twist the knife build good for mythic+ or should I stick with the pre-patch build
guys, Zac is playing sin and not outlaw. Is this the top signal ? 
so he either needs to drop sd for sbs or drop doomblade for ttk
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah only reason to take doomblade is sbs
and sbs is only good in higher keys?
nah sbs is better the lower you are
in high keys you can drop it since you have more time to set up ruptures manually
but it's also just a good talent so its not like, much better to do that
prob like 12+
whatever key youre doing and things die slowly
that too lol
for casual doing with his main team it could be a 14
so what that build looks like?
tbh rn i start feeling bad w the assa cuz i feel im doing everything good but my dmg its still stuck in 3 - 4m
either this or this
Do you need to cast your bleeds during MA or can you just "stealth" and get the crit for the dots after they are applied ?:o
kush was playing standard hybrid in a 15 with subterfuge 1/2
bleeds dont snapshot
crit value
wtf is that lol
well thats fine for casual too
the amounts in the rogue tree are completely flexible
okay but I need the most min-maxed top 0.01% dps build for my 10's
but someone said that SD is good for low keys and dropping SBS is good in high keys, those builds contradict that
just remember that you are not casualaddict and are not playing with as good of players as casualaddict
i want to play the bleed build i linked
in a 14
need a tank
I mean yeah, go for it
exactly
theres like 6 builds man
sorry to hear that
99% of players
can just play the wowhead hybrid build
and do fine enough to do ksh etc
u have to update the A to Z youtube video lol

it's still pretty accurate actually
just gotta use a bit of brain when I talk about a talent that changed
kush out here playing wowhead build in 15s
Can't we drop like, sanguine blade to get some stuff like that ? (Imma getting banned for posting shitty build ?
)
Maybe been asked before.. but⦠in AoE, how do you determine where to put garrote and rupture? or are you just going all over?
i like when people ask me about the 4 diff shitty talents sub has in the middle
while people asking 20x for a 10 build
just use whatever
but
demise
its a 10% of dmg in all ur bleeds
how the fuck do you survive the big guys poison in CoT on top of the stairs on higher keys?
i dont feel like its worth it but
sd is so whatever
i just cant figure out how to play both sb+ma without either dropping SD which is bad for low keys or dropping SBS which is also bad for low keys
whispyr or someone w more experience can talk about that
it really doesnt matter that much
drop dashing for iron wire and you got yourself a build
sim them and see whats better
True because if I don't run sanguine blade don't need to have dashing right ?*
like if youāre doing NW
who cares about damage to little adds
that die as soon as necromancer does
I drop SD, personally
no it's just you have infinite aoe in aoe and not taking iron wire is sinful behavior
Hmmm true true I see
yeah I think SB is really good
I like my SD doing like 4% in overall dam on top of the 10% bleed increase
on big pulls once you rip CT
Loss prevention lalala
SB does so much work
cloak, stone form, poison cleansing totem
Yeah I realized I wasn't playing elusiveness when i thought I was, so I was just feinting and looking like an idiot
if only there was 1 more talent point
then that gets slammed right in sd and its all happy
I kinda don't agree
Because it's not about situational variety
It's just about what does the most damage in aoe
I feel giga energy starved swapping off of ds on bosses in keys, am I imagining or is that the downside to being able to play sbs?
sb is the only talent that gets moved around
yeah the st m+ is just kinda starved
that really affects energy
no? dont like the energy drain?
running another +8 would probably be faster
mm I see
They didnāt listen to me when I fucked up
I need to run more keys. I'm interested in that too
Telling them you are going to kermit will have cops sent to your house to check on you

can i update my bugreport

I don't think anyone reads those anyways
Friend of mine told a gm he was going to commit cuz they wouldnt unban him, 10-15 min later 2 cops was at his door š
is there any secret to never fail reseting boss as rogue ?

i might vanish too late but u have to vanish as soon as the boss get the poisoned knife tick ?
hopefully it just get's filtered by the robot
and no one sees
I don't htink blizz has my real addr anyways lol
it also needs to be seen by someone who understands what "kermit" means
!tea
if the cops come maybe they can help me get my crests back
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null

i've seen a few people in dungeons not playing the typical builds and instead have talents split down the left and right hand side of the spec tree, is anyone familiar with this?
!fuu

is it worth to always tea/shiv macro? I find myself starving in longer fights

I was expecting to see a trink combo of spyglass/vr contract on top of this st sim (per bloodmallet), but it's way down the list. Which would you guys use? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/bP78Peu2tdzkkM79LCxVdQ
I personally hate Concoction, so wouldn't even sim it lol
Tea shiv macro ensure that you alwayse havea tea charge with shiv if used perfectly. But tea manual vs auto proc is .2% dps difference
any location without lag . For hitting 5 target dummy?
any main city
painge
almost timed 14 city of threads with bleed build
we wiped on adds before last boss
so sad
there are 2 different crafted rings
We always prefer using one active, stat-boost trinket to use with cooldowns together with a passive one.
1 that is "normal" and 1 with some weird special effect
Is notter's kingsbane WA still of some use?
We do not want to use 2 passive ones.
41 runs nothing and then it was in the vault
you gotta belive man
It's never been of any use except for some dopamine fiends who want to see a high score on their kb for some reason.
how long did bosses take? im doing a 3rd attempt later tonight that keys cursed for me idk
always slow
For me it was good to help with when to press stuff, I disabled the numbers
tyty
u lusted first boss/?
yes
sb and sd
yeah makes more sense. my tank likes lusteing the pull before idk why
I'm guessing you did the shroud route varas?
oh
we shrouded something
i dont know the route
and just ignore entire first area more or less

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.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yes but then you have to make a decision between TTK or SD because doomblade is required for sbs, also your base tree is wrong if you play MA, you gotta drop supercharger and recup to get at least 1 point into subterfuge, after that it's up to you if you prefer dropping lethality for 2/2 subt + WaT.
Also some people prefer sanguine over TTK and SD
anything in BRD worth over current raid?
negative
Hey quick question, how does the interaction of double garroting after vanish work during death mark? do you just vanish garrote garrote and rupture at max combo points during the last 6s of KB?
You don't? Just vanish->one garrote and continue doing what you were doing before
not for sin
ooh im sorry i was thinking this was just doing double dmg on the target
0 mastery gear
it's just for spreading bleeds?
really good for outlaw tho
Just did my 40th run of Grim Butthole, still no Skardyn's trinket. Tell me it exists?
It doesnt
They only exist in vault
I thought so
Gotta pray for Santa to bring it to you
The trick is to not form an emotional bond with skardyn
Ah, I thought you were talking about ST, yeah in aoe if you vanish you want to spread bleeds again (if your packs live that long)
gotcha even during kb and deathmark? makes senese

It exists keep going
That's all I needed to hear š Here's to another 40 runs š„³
I cant say how many tries i was needed for it. Bcs dont wanna be killed x) but it exist
ye nope ill give it 5 more runs and then accept its not dropping did 50 runs for latros shifting sword in tbc(tho it was bis until t6) ill pass for somthing that is gonna be irrelivent next season
Which is the best way to use Tricks, mouse over or target_focus
It'll be irrelevant? When's next season start?
I don't see slice/dice in Whispyr's WA, am I missing something?
How does assa st in m+ compare to stuff like frost dk, shaman or ret
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
We don't use SnD anymore, it autoprocs from Envenom
we do not track it now, pointless
Get a tricks weakaura that auto casts on tank
we still need to hit it once tho, correct?
No
no we do not
Never press it again
!embelish
Get it off your bars, out of your WA, and out of your mind
!embellish
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
But i dont understand the macro
oh ok, ty kindly. That explains why I dont see it used in logs
Forget it exists
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
this one
it will use tricks on tank with the wa?
yes
There's a link right about the macro, it explains more
the WA autoselect the tank as a 'target' and the macro just use tricks on the 'target'
you can tweak the WA for raid purpose like MT/OT stuff
does anyone have a master assassin WA that tells you to vanish at 6 seconds left on KB? i cant seem to get mine to work
But what if you use Subterfuge?
this ones mainly for raids
Which rogue spec is the most oogabooga?
wrong class
I was led to believe assa is the easiest and slowest. That true?
yes
huh

Hey all! So, I recently came back to retail after being on Classic for a very long while. Wanting to get back into rogue and thankfully have a boost I can use. Back in OG Vanilla I ran Orc rogue. Now, unsure what race. I was told it doesn't matter, but all I see are dwarf rogues now. Does it really not matter or am I wrong? Sorry for the stupid question.
It does not matter unless you are planning to push 0.1%
Pick what you like the most
DRACTHYR ROGUE
% diff wont matter much
probably 0.01% honestly
Wait, I didnt realize Dracthyr could be other classes now! Holy hell that just changed everything!
heya, i know i asked this a few days ago, but i missed the post..how do i add the scent of blood on my rupture weak aura?
Yeah I swapped to one myself for the shits
Havenāt you always wanted 2 more stops, double jump, and a mastery buff?
š
And the option to look good or look like a freak
the freak is the knife ear btw
kill all elves

Thats the one downside of the race. If I could stay as the human form during combat, it would be 100x better.
or do you have to be visage
big
Wait, I can fight in visage?
Yes
careful they nerfed dracthyr racials for non-evoker dracthyrs
SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going Dracthyr
its 1knockback on a huge cd which is not really better then shit like warstomp, and the "mastery buff" is worse then all other "you get X% secondary stat" passives
Yeah itās nerfed but itās still 2 extra stops for emergency so there is value
Wait why are you so mad about a race
if you talk shit, inform yourself first
play what you want tbh
Now, 2nd question. Level as assassination or go outlaw? I really want to main assassination but not sure how it does leveling.
Anyone asking that question doesnāt actually care if itās 1 stop 2 stops 3 stops wing stop
Who cares ligten up
i hate people spreading Missinformation you bozo
first, its not "2stops for literally months now"
and the "more mastery" is the same (and for most classes even WORSE) then the "1% more crit/haste/vers" that most classes have
Cody ngl, your vibe ain't it brother
š
->joined october 23, ofc
another fotm monkey
god can they nerf nuke assa allready
Man I have 9 characters Iām playing. If they break rogue it wouldnāt affect me. Itās just what i picked as a main. I just enjoy playing the game
no
š«¶š»
Man nobody enjoys playing this game
pls no i actually like assa
outlaw feels like shit and sub isnāt as fun
A normal person in a class discord? Aināt no way
Ok, so I will ask again real quick. Should I try to level as assassination or go with a different spec? I am not sure how any of them do for leveling?
level as assa itās fine
Yeh
got a friend that just when 1-70 as assassin and had no complaints
For leveling I always recommend OL as its a bit easier
Whatever looks cool to you
just press buttons
leveling is insanely fast rn as it is
doesnt matter what spec
Yeah
you should get things just fast enough to become familiar
I appreciate it @past panther and @balmy condor ā¤ļø
good way to level
You called him normal, but he's playing 9 fucking characters 
Time walking with a tank/heal friend or quest in between
how casually tho
Anyone have tips for running delves?
and is he NEET or not
Yeah lol Iām a normal wow player who enjoys the game. I play a lot, Iām not the best but Iām 2969 on my rogue and Iām 2600 on other specs
healer brann->collect the heal potions
thats it, you can do t8 delves with a fresh lvl80 that way
I mean that's pretty normal
I don't think so
my boss at wowhead needed a second account cause he's character capped on his first
and wants to farm for mounts
which are accountwide
so
THAT
thatās cooked
is not normal
put him out of his misery allready
mount farmer AND tc?
When I played this game 24/7, I played like 5 characters at most and only because I was forced to
character capped is crazy
And had to quit the next tier because I got burned out
is he the owner of WoWhead or just a guy above you
he did love rocket farm on 45 characters for 2 days before realizing he actually got it last year and doesn't need to do that
wtf lol
Lol
he kinda silly but he still games

Anything good out of BRD?
45 characters
nope
jfc
wowhead is owned by a company that's owned by a company that's owned by a company that's owned by tencent
so like
idk man
how far up the chain do you wanna go

I mean, 5% crit nerf on a buff that happens every 2 mins for 6 seconds. Basically 58% nerf
Itās maths
Possibly

more if you count in sub
is there a specific channel to post logs for suggestions and advice on what to improve?
I know the guides all say that you don't Ambush open if you already have darkest night, and I follow that logic, but can I ask why?
Wait, I just saw the pin and am confused, is the top build in dslice dropping KB for ttk?
The crit applies mark
So itās better to just start spreading bleeds
I believe
Might be wrong but thatās what I tell myself
The max combo envenom is what applies mark according to the tooltip
So I guess the ambush is just kind of a waste
Yeah thatās what I meant
Ye
Alright then
Ambush less value than a garrote if you don't need it for mark
Just apply the mark after a couple globals rather than first hit
you should read the full line where it tells you not to do that
and take the message as a whole for its full meaning instead of trying to force what you want out of it
the meaning of the pin is theres a lot of builds that are all viable and playing the new talents or the old ones doesnt really matter
No dont do that
"sure yeah it does, but don't do that" literally starts immediately after the ttk

like i get it cause normal people come in class discords looking for quick answers and whispyr put a huge paragraph of joking instead
but also you can still get the answers out if you use ur head a little
Only exception if DN has 5 seconds and will expire, then ambush and the mark will be active after DN expires
My muscle memory has been so at 20+ a lot anyway
the pins say vanish for KB last six seconds, but that's wrong for fatebound
why would that be wrong for fatebound
Thatās because we donāt care about fatebound
can I post here a log and ask for advice/suggestions on how to improve or is there a specific channel for it?
ok, a separate bullet point covers fatebound vanish in the pins, my bad
if the gear sims well for you, yea. but generally its pretty mid
no mastery anywhere (blah blah stats dont matter)
in my sim rotation its using shiv before KB on the opener, does it matter that much if its in the opener compared to the last 8 seconds?
probably a dumb question, but does assassin scale a lot better then gear? my other alts are performing better at same ilevel
you're probably doing something wrong then
so for raid, is there any better build than whats posted on wowhead by whispyr? could you tweak it for more ST or is there nothing to do with it
Wowhead is up to date
Nope
@blazing pumice after carnage ends, do you stick to your deathmark target/caustic. or prioritize spreading more rupture around other targets?
sheet
5 rupture and unlimited energy is what you're usually aiming for. And carnage gives you that and more.
When you're done with this you apply CT/Spatter and burst ur prio target
(5 rupture in order to cap Scent of blood talent)
@steel geyser ahhh i see, thank you
I know, I just got curious
Getting full coverage of shiv is very important
so even if you arent specd into lightweight shiv you should use it in the opener?
No
If you only have 1 charge of shiv, you use it in the last 8s of the KB window.
Then itās last 8
@prisma sundial DM > SHIV > KINGS> 3 sec on shiv > vanish> ambush >garote> shiv and continue
if you have 2 shiv charges
what
1 shiv charge is always 8 sec of kb
What
thats
what
you dont vanish ambush and you definitely just dont vanish in general at that timing

you vanish the last 6s of kb which should line up with pandemic timing on garrote (and is after the 2nd shiv)
but you dont hit ambush out of it
Delete
just vanish gar
From memory
im asking because the sim is doing it during the DM KB opener and not at the last 8 seconds so i was wondering if i should just ignore that and do it at 8 seconds left in KB or what
you do not ambush
ever
unless its for the mark
ambush is not a good button
and that vanish timing is just in general not correct
you arent vanishing when garrote is in pandemic OR for master assassin to overlap the last 6s of kb
which are the only reasons to vanish
you are vanishing for the crit buff no ?
yes
which
lasts 6 seconds
and is most valuable when its used on the last 6s of kingsbane
to make stacked kb ticks crit
so is sim just bugging out, cause its suggesting me non-craft enchant on crafted wrists with ascendance dagger is better than with the craft enchant...?
The only reason you vanish before the last 6 seconds is if you delayed your opener
so what you are saying is thats why im losing 200k dps on st like sikran
not 200k
but
its definitely bad and incorrect yes
youre just probably also doing other incorrect things
if i sim 1,305 mil on 6mins fight and i do 1.221 mil in the actual fight that means i did pretty alright
ST sim? With lightweight shiv?
with slight lost uptime during images
I wish I could sim 1.3
no its with these talents
Ive been doing ambush since i saw someone saying that aplying mark again is dps increase
thats why im confused
Well thatās dungeon talents so. Maybe donāt use that
can you show us the output ?
this was correct over a month ago but then a bug got introduced (or fixed? unsure. but the interaction changed)
cause thats m+
and now its bad to vanish->ambush
because you cant consume mark stacks while DN is active
!ambush
!vanish
Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:
- Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
- Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied
As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.
wha
you vanish into garrote
when garrote is in pandemic
Oh yeah, you never specified sim type. Whispyr been in here bitching about sim changes for a few days so itās probably not 100% accurate
So now i might have figured out how the mark drops actually
master assassin is a 6 second buff
you are not vanishing to apply crit chance to one attack
You can consume DN even with a fresh mark applied as long as it's 7cp
it doesnt matter what you break stealth with really
but it generally should be garrote
youre running MA for ST raid*? or have i been reading too much into it
ok ill ignore it then
Yes

was it the build you posted?
oh no that was balen
oh wait i am too, im just stupid
thinking about wrists but
I read the discussion about shiv, and about how you're supposed to use it toward the end of kb, but the sims use it before?
Okay, thank you for the clarification!
The shiv rules didn't change at all
Sims being weird I guess on dsclice
And dumb question, but are we supposed to use vanish as soon as able on single target? I know in m+ it can depend on the pulls and whatnot
Last 6 seconds of KB for master assassin and imp garrote
Or save it for certain spots where you will need to reapply mark
Like queen p2
Alright, thank you very much!
Im seeing a lot of rogues with different builds
do i guess that wowhead is the good one
there is no "good" one
There are a alot of variations of the WoWhead one
Wowhead can be the go to build for most people
If you're looking to improve further and try new stuff, you can read the pins and change your build with new sims
theres a lot of variation with MA/TTK and SD and SBS along with sub in the rogue tree
this was the build that simmed the best for me, but as Eleem said this afternoon, sims are not taking into consideration the execute dmg from sudden demise. But everything is so close % wise that it doesnt matter
do i use vanish before the 2nd dm or wait for stacked kb for ma?
with MA you vanish for MA the last 6secs of KB
Indiscriminate Carnage. How does this work? Is it nearby from me or the target ?

and the dif between Numbing poison and atrophic is relevant?
they do different things
but atrophic for raid and numbing for mythic+ is a pretty safe pick
its the most straight forward answer
aight
hi guys, mage swapping rogue here. been lingering and watching... a bit. ive seen some plater profile but curious
But yeah just nerd stuff which doesn't really matter
Wassup
is it worth tracking fatal intent, bone spike, or even poisons
Poisons used to be slightly relevant because it's required for Venomous Wounds application
But now that we spread most of our bleeds with IC anyways and we press FoK on 2+ targets, it kinda doesn't really matter
same with mutilated flesh i assume
thank you
Np
any YT rec for guides? seen a few out there havent fully drilled in
Does opener change in m+ if running subterfuge
nop
lovely
What changes about the gameplay?
You vanish for KB
With MA
But that's about it
It just allows for more freedom in how you spread your bleeds and use your mark
So if im running ironwire in keys nothing changes?
you can take more advantage of it
but thats it
since you'll have more time to cast emp garrotes
Alrighty tyvm
are we vanishing when MA runs out after 12 secs in the opener
Yes
Cev can i be annoying and ask what u are running currently for keys
As in what talent build?
yeah! Sorry shouldāve specified
i appreciate u, ty king
!stats
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
Reading cooldown sequence for aoe, says to do DM > shiv > KB, is that only if you are running double shiv? otherwise just shiv at 8s left of kingsbane?
yes
a fan of 2x more vanishes eh? 
jkjk the channel was lit this morning XD
if I havent had a weapon from vault would be a good idea to craft one for my offhand? or should i get for bracers for example??? my off hand is 626
offhand dps doesnt matter
no
bracers then??
if you don't have 2x embellishments yes
otherwise no
Yeah, this will be my 4th crafted gear
upgrade myth track gear before crafting
I have main hand, belt+embellishment, boots+embellishment, should i go for the off hand already?
dog we dont know your situation
if you mythic raid
or what you do. best learn to sim
offhand is very low value, especially if you do the recraft tech
it's 10 ilvl for 90 gildeds
I see, will sim then
You should almost certainly not go for an offhand craft
Offhand is the literal worst slot on all of your gear
yeah, by your experience, should i go for bracers then? instead of off hand
conversely if you upgrade a myth track piece, 1. it's like 24 ilvl upgrade 2. the slots are more valuable
anyone know how much damage the shaman raid buff gives us?
mists +9
pretty much all teh time. it applies our hero talen for the deathstalker class
oh maybe i dont have it yet since im 71
you can sim that yourself because its different for each player. Just de-select "skyfury" from the raid buffs section when you /simc
you most definltey have it since you're level 71...if you chose deathstalker that is
I just said im new to rogue bruh
esp ass
never played ass before
sorry ... when you play more assassination you'll understand my skepticism
would recommend checking out the wow guide linked in the #assassination-faq channel
or watch Whispyr's vids on youtube
its literally your opening spell on ... every type of pull
unless you already applied it before in m+ 
although i still usually open with ambush from bad muscle memory 
i had to train myself not to open with garrote anymore when i started playing rogue again this xpac
Id open and be like "fuck! stop doing that!"

!lag
Significant WA lag
Weakauras has identified a source of large lag on some weakauras. This happens on any weakauras using MODELS in their display tab. Deleting the model or turning the affected weakaura to never load should give back a couple of FPS.
You can check for impacted weakauras by running the following script in your in-game chat. If any are affected, their name will show in your chat: lua /run local function _(a)if a.regionType=="model"then return 1 end for i,s in pairs(a.subRegions or{})do if s.type=="submodel"then return 1 end end end for n,a in pairs(WeakAurasSaved.displays)do if _(a)then print(n)end end
m+ gamers
what do u guys think about teleporting out and respeccing ST just before last boss in siege of boralus to ST
should maybe be a time gain
we really suck on this last boss
No way thats a time gain
you use the teleporter out when boss dies
then u run in
u spawn at the giant
while ur group runs down
and triggers rp
u should only delay the pull by 5-10seconds
Try and let us know
unless ur computer is from the 90s
i mean im doing
like
700-850k on that boss
if i do like 900-1mil
that surely a big time gain
maybe 20-30s timegain

let him cook
if your group is doing 3.5mil dps on the last boss
going to 3.6mil dps group dps saves 8 seconds
over 5 minutes? that math is no way correct
and its not 100k probably
its probably more like 2-300k
spec changes midkey are not viable until really high keys, and usually 2-3 members gotta do it, 1 members is usually whatever
i mean its probably a net neutral
i think the actual number is not 100k though
its probably 200k+
but would probably not be worth it
you have to gain more time than it takes you to go do the swap right
well yeah u dont lose much time cause ur forced to wait for the RP
or are you getting that done before you could pull the boss
here's the neat part about math and why I did 100k right
if 100k saves you 8 seconds
how much does 200k save you
:)
as i said
the fork on the left
it delays the pull by 10-15s tops
you can pick whatever number you'd like
I havent taken advanced calculus in a few years, but the time saved also pushes past certain mechanics which is more like a logirithmic gain than 2 x 8 = 16
I mean we're talking time save though
purely on dps
there's no mechanics to skip here
true ... well not true ... think of dispels
everything is gated by hp 
okay, I'm thinking
you push past the firsttentacle before u need to dispel again, thats a time save overall on the NEXT tentacle because u have that CD
again ... there are other things that the increase affords u

idk who's dispel is increasing my throughput but I want it
Iām sorry king
I don't think that really makes a whole ton of sense but whatever floats your boat man
dont be angry im just saying ... less mechanics is a good thing that can save time
he pulled out the kalky
8.34
s
per 100k
i will say though
having multiple people do this is 100% worth it
there is nothing to aruge about there
if everyone can gain 200k~~+ and we also delay the pull by 15s
does anyone know of an in-game addon that shows what builds are most played on a boss?
that would be a decent time gain
essentially the wcl aggregate top 100 or w/e
Help I got scammed. How do I not get scammed like this
elusiveness + feint / evas
cast cloak .5 seconds later or use evasion/feint
I used evasion for the 1st :(
feint up?
if cloak is in it's first second of duration when retch goes off you can immune it
But my cloak is just like lol no you die now
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
So I was what like, .5 seconds to early?
cloak later ye
cloak has a full immunity the first second or whatever, then magic resist after
it's a lesson we all learn the hard way on that boss
I've also now learned the hard way :(
what keys could you actually drop ironwire on and be okay?
mist, dawn, siege?
are there any other?
because you can cover all group kicks?
I mean ironwire + MA/Subter is insane control
it has a damage reduction component too
everyone does more dmg
why would you need iron wire on mist.. tell me that.
It is 15% less dmg
also damage reduc
Prob matters on the last stretch
I mean people are people, it aint perfect
mists is probably the only case you could make for dropping it, but i still wouldn't bother
I don't think Ironwire affects the staghorns at all. the first segment of the dungeon has some casters too, though
i think there are more keys you can drop it in, i was just thinking there would be more discussion for it and not just 'NEVER DROP IRON WIRE' lol
I mean SURE you can drop it, but how much dmg is that 1 point giving?
it's a 1% dps gain
What does the sim say when you sim it
you take MA for it
because you go normal hybrid build from last patch
and instead of iron wire you go MA
so its pretty big no?
Dont you just do the MA subter TTK build now if you want MA?
I have that without dropping those, just dropped SB and demise
yeah id take demise over ttk
don't want iron wire š
for 7s and shit it dont matter
but all the keys you do want iron wire you take it
Im stuck in grimbatol hell
i was talking primarily 12+
there is no way u dont take iron wire in grim batol
Bruh its a 7 and everything dies in seconds
i didnt list gb in one of the dungeons you dont take it in.. LOL
its like the best duengon for it
Me and a few friends are slamming it trying to get skardyns and shit falls over
Anything above i take it
But 2dps+paladin tank above 625ilvl shit just dies

Is there a plater for all rogue buffs?
Like bleeds
And like bleed icon shining when about to run out or something?
But i dint want my current plater to change
I just want like the buff ids that get tracked
whispyrs plater does exactly that
Can i simc my self with items that i dont have?
I might have to get that then, are prio kicks highlighted in that too?
to see how my dmg would chagne?
Yes
U can add itrms at the top if thw screen
dont see it tbh
How much energy do we pool before sending DM + KB, is it just >50%?
in my experience you don't really need to pool for DM + KB, you'll be full energy once you hit DM really fast
can type the item and set ilvl there
topgear
ooh so it doubling the effects also doubles the energy return?
Idk how or why but just had a 16.7mil Envenom crit. Did the other world bosses and my highest was 4.2mil
I wonder how long it will be until Whispyr makes another pinned message about people asking asinine questions about everything
stonevault?
Doomwalker world boss
critter

or lvl30 mobs around the boss
Nope
then scalling fucked up
is there a weakaura that glow up debuffs i could cloak off?
horseman
Is this a bug or something i am messing up anyone else is experiencing? The first ambush wont apply deathstalker sometimes. I am sheathed, dont press any other buttons but it just wont apply occasionally. Any idea what I may be doing wrong or is this a bug?
doomwalker has some weird scaling stuff, every character i've killed him on has something that hits for multiple 10s of millions
I had a level 10 DH doing 14 million in a LFR BRD on bosses lol
same this one dk carried us through one shotting the bosses
dont know how that happens cause i was the same level as him and did max like 10k dps
??
what
am i high or are they
could be both tbh
