theres 2

#

adds

#

in every wave

#

and the point is to silence them so they walk in

#

but aight

#

if youre gonna pug youre not gonna have a perfect prot pala silencing himself both adds

solar wyvern
#

Yeah ik I'm just an IW hater. Its definitely pugcomp dependant.

subtle tundra
#

i dont play iron wire cause i do keys at a level where time is relevant

#

if i did 15s i wouldnt swap talents

solar wyvern
#

True! You'd just swap to clases instead (for legal reasons this is a joke)

humble verge
#

would you guys consider it trolling if i swap IW for SB without an aug in my key

arctic socket
#

Dropping iw anytime in a pug is troll

#

Unless you’re in a confident set team don’t drop iw 👍

mighty vine
#

For m silken court, do yall just send mark on whatever boss you're assigned to or are you bouncing mark around? God I hate mark

arctic socket
#

Are you talking about deathmark or deathstalker mark?

mighty vine
#

deathstalker

arctic socket
#

For that boss I think it’s actually better to play fatebound

golden loom
#

sounds like it would save you a lot of mental capacity atleast

arctic socket
#

Ideally you want to have mark up on the boss during amp phase, then keep it up on the boss you’re assigned too

#

Or don’t worry about mark management and play fatebound

mighty vine
#

Theres only 11 parses total of people playing Fatebound on that fight

solar wyvern
#

Thats 11 more than I expected to see

golden loom
#

that doesnt mean its bad though

solar wyvern
#

Ofc not just hella inconsistent

sullen hearth
#

hmm

solid quartz
#

Does the sim for Ovinax's Mercurial Egg just assume you have 30 stacks of main stats and that is why it sims so high?

spice spire
#

It juggles between 20 stacks iirc

solid quartz
#

ok, good to know thanks

spice spire
sudden glen
#

do you guys bind skardyn's grace to deathmark ?

runic hinge
#

Yes

sudden glen
#

with kingsbane or not

#

just making sure

golden loom
#

to deathmark, as they are both 2 min cds they line up perfectly

humble verge
#

i usually press them both right after eachothers

#

milliseconds

#

though i should probably macro

#

with Blood Fury

golden loom
#

no reason not to

humble verge
#

true

#

i am just stupid

#

manually pressing everything

#

!shiv

sudden glen
humble verge
#

whatte

golden loom
#

!tea

prisma monolithBOT

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
humble verge
#

oh yea tea

#

but

#

how do i cast 2 stuff after

#

do i just
DM
Skardyn
Blood Fury?

sudden glen
#

wouldnt skardyn be first ?

humble verge
#

idk

sudden glen
#

mastery inscreased our poisons dmg

golden loom
#

just put bloodfury and potion before deathmark

humble verge
#

need to test

#

ah ok

#

but like

#

would i do /use Blood Fury or "racial" something

golden loom
#

name of the spell ye

keen spruce
#

I think it’s /cast blood fury

golden loom
#

this is my deathmark as I am human, has all the id's for different ranks of tempered potion

humble verge
#

it looks like its cast blood fury

#

according to twitter

humble verge
#

is the middle one r2?

#

D

#

xD

keen spruce
#

I don’t macro in pot in case you need to delay a pot or use it outside of cds for some reason

humble verge
#

huh

#

why would you do that

#

D:

keen spruce
#

It’s not common

golden loom
humble verge
keen spruce
#

Normally for m+ stuff

golden loom
keen spruce
#

Or just slamming a pot at the end of a fight

humble verge
#

ah ok

#

it worked

#

poggies

keen spruce
#

But ig you could just press dm even when it’s on cd

humble verge
#

now i can remove like

#

well hm

#

i can remove skardyn and fury from my bars but

keen spruce
#

Yeah really no reason to have those bound

humble verge
#

tryna figure out what i can bind over there tho

#

hm

#

maybe actually

keen spruce
#

Any non-gcd 2min thing that’s getting slammed with DM

humble verge
#

1 could be kidney

keen spruce
#

i just have Swiss cheese bars now

humble verge
#

lol

keen spruce
#

Or I start putting in focus stuff

golden loom
#

my bars are still fucked after removal of echoing and slice and dice

keen spruce
#

Or like one bind for non-tea shiv and one with the macro

humble verge
#

honestly

#

i could probably also just remove tea

#

from my bars too

#

lol

keen spruce
#

Focus kidney focus kick

#

Focus blind for some reason

golden loom
#

had those on 1 and 2 but now I have feint and healthstone there, feels like a waste for good binds but I am so used to all my current binds that I cba changing

keen spruce
#

Just anything to fill up the slots haha

humble verge
#

wonky bars

#

kidney was skardyn, blind was fury

keen spruce
#

I changed my SnD keybind to setfocus

mighty vine
#

just hide your bars and not worry about it

keen spruce
#

I think I just started duplicating abilities too

#

To fill in gaps

golden loom
keen spruce
#

The only key one we ave the same is mutilate

golden loom
#

idk I have played with a weakaura package my entire time playing retail and I still look at my bars when checking cooldowns on DM/KB

keen spruce
#

Keybind*

#

Maybe tempest?

#

I actually can’t remember wtf my tempest keybind is

keen spruce
#

I think shift f is fan

mighty vine
#

if you open your spellbook and hover over it it'll glow on your bar

keen spruce
#

Well sure but I’m sitting at a dinner having breakfast

#

# humble verge classic bars D:

started playing in january with classic and played until august and didnt see the point in elvui and now I am too used to default interface to be able to switch

runic hinge
keen spruce
#

I got rid of elv in DF

keen spruce
#

But I might get a mimosa after I finish my coffee

#

Or a screwdriver lol

pure moth
#

isnt it to early for that?

keen spruce
#

Yes smile_dog

runic hinge
#

Get an espresso martini

keen spruce
#

They do have one on the menu but it looked a little foofy

golden loom
#

like only thing I would like about elvui is the healthbars but otherwise I like my setup

runic hinge
#

Probably tasty as hell

keen spruce
#

Espresso martinis are just the four locos of employed and aging millennials

pure moth
golden loom
#

whats a micro bar

pure moth
#

bottom bar on the right

golden loom
#

ohh

#

yeah fuck that shit

strange python
keen spruce
#

I went with a mimosa

#

Felt too alcoholic to get a 10am screwdriver alone at a brunch spot

strange python
#

Mimosas bang too

strange python
#

Just go for it brother Surebud

keen spruce
#

Screwdriver not on the menu squishykek

strange python
#

Damn

#

Boring place

#

10am zombie hits different too

keen spruce
#

It’s not really a menu thing

#

That’s like having a jack and coke on the menu Shrugeg

strange python
#

Whats wrong with that PogO

runic hinge
#

You did what in the coke?

strange python
#

Oh no

#

Don’t do that shmeeps…

keen spruce
#

I mean like it’s kind of implied at anywhere with a full bar

#

Not gonna put every combination of alcohol + mixer on a menu

strange python
#

No but also

#

Idk what a screwdriver is

#

European bozo here

keen spruce
#

Oh it’s just a mimosa

#

But swap for vodka

well

#

now i can try SB > IW

#

cause i asked :D

#

in a 14db

gloomy heart
#

is there a way for the sim to tell you what stats ur lacking ?

coral ibex
#

what do you mean by that

gloomy heart
#

If i’m on mage for example, is there no way to sim and it tells
me i need more of this stat etc

#

Or i just have to sim whatever i get

coral ibex
#

who gives a fuck about mage bro ngl 😩

#

ask the mage cord

#

probably just use droptimizer and top gear

gloomy heart
#

LOL

#

one day ppl will like
mages 😦

cerulean walrus
#

This dude thinks people will ever like mages

gloomy heart
#

you will be forced to play with them one day

left radish
#

Hello. Why is Authority of the Depths for raids and Authority of Radiant Power for m+?

coral ibex
#

because one does damage to one target and the other can hit multiple targets

royal lantern
#

we had our mage say after 20 pulls on queen "i need help with root, who told you blink breaks roots?????"

#

they play a class that has 100000 utility and deffensive abilitys on everything, and dont even know what their own abilitys do in the first place

#

actual monkeys OMEGAKEKW

gloomy heart
#

LOL

coral ibex
#

xddddd

gloomy heart
#

i do play regular blink on queen

left radish
coral ibex
#

you are misreading

left radish
#

No wait, Authority of the Depths even says "foes". I'm confused

gloomy heart
#

JUST SIM!

coral ibex
#

i misspoke - depths can only go on 1 target but power can trigger on multiple targets

spice oak
#

Authority of depths just does a raw number of ST damage, radiant power does ST damage and gives you primary stay

coral ibex
#

the depths effect can stack 3x on a single target but you can't have it on more than one

Guys I'm feeling really dumb trying to find sims for sin rogue atm

!sim

prisma monolithBOT

#

and these are the most up to date ones?

soft surge
#

id payer like $5 or less for an updated list each season

#

surely someone can capitlize on it

#

but im new to sin and maybe with a few more seasons ill figure it out myself quickly

#

if sin is still top 5 dps in raid and m+ next season it must be done

coral ibex
#

$5 for hours of work lmfao

#

ok bud

#

go find someone in the third world

soft surge
#

how is it hours of work

runic hinge
#

How is it not

coral ibex
#

someone has to go test every mech against every rogue defensive

#

what are you smoking bud

soft surge
#

i mean i dont expect it on release but a month or so in surely someone can compile a list

runic hinge
#

You can do that

coral ibex
#

so compile it yourself if it’s so easy

runic hinge
#

Yourself

soft surge
#

hell nah xD

coral ibex
#

exactly

runic hinge
#

The meme stays true

soft surge
#

!nw

prisma monolithBOT
#

The breath/frontal from the first boss in Necrotic Wake is an attack, not a spell.

In order to immune the the breath, you must be in the first second of cloak of shadows (“a moment of magic immunity”). After the first second of cloak of shadows has elapsed, the attack will hit you and no longer be immuned.
Alternatively you can use evasion to dodge the breath.

soft surge
#

this commant just made me think of it is all

#

command

runic hinge
#

it’s the most common question from this season

coral ibex
#

you can just use the not even close web tool

soft surge
#

oh yea

tall jewel
#

where can i find pawn stats string?

coral ibex
#

don’t use pawn

tall jewel
#

ye, i know sim in raid bots its better, but for all-round use xD

runic hinge
#

Is it higher ilvl

soft surge
#

not the same

stone fable
#

can I sim all talents to get an idea of what is "best", if so how do I do that? In advanced?

runic hinge
#

You can just sim your talent pages in top gear

soft surge
#

when did pawn fall off? i remember using it in legion and bfa

#

maybe just legion

#

uses less resources than any of those WA's

karmic crystal
soft surge
#

whats that one

slate crown
#

Yeah baseline is basically the same

#

It's literally the base ui

#

there's no addon lol

#

Drag your poison icon to your bar

#

you can click it and you get that flyout

karmic crystal
#

^^

soft surge
#

aint a fan of the fly out

soft surge
#

could make it appear and clickable with a custom remaining time

karmic crystal
#

I only mention because you emphasised how light it was

soft surge
#

even tho its not been updated in 2 years

slate crown
#

No

#

Those metrics aren't be-all-end-all of how good something is to use

#

The issue wit hthe WA is it's clickable which isn't a performance thing

#

It's a functionality issue when used in combat

#

Clickables are fine when they don't interact with spells and only interact with other addon stuff

#

Applying poisons are spell casts, so clickables on them means it can get tainted

soft surge
#

i see

slate crown
#

and can lead to a bunch of errors

#

That won't be shown by those code metrics

#

IF you care about performance/lightweight etc

#

Then the way to track that is using the WA tools for measuring performance, (Right click)

#

and seeing if you get high time-spent inside of that WA

#

I imagine that WA is pretty lightweight regardless

soft surge
#

ima do that now, even turning off the glow it was nice

slate crown
#

But again, those code measures also don't say anything about the code being accurate

#

esp with infrastructure updates, API changes with each patch

#

TWW definitely came with some API changes, but can't say if they impact that Aura or not

spice spire
coral ibex
soft surge
#

Lisonna best envenom tracker 👍

slate crown
#

Those two code measures basically just say
A) How many layers does the code create and go through
B) How many tokens and expressions do you spread out in your code

Both of those speak to how easy it is to test the code and how easy it is to read the code from an external observer and update/make changes / maintain.

That's it. It's good when they're green from a coding perspective, in most cases. it's not necessarily bad if they're yellow/red, sometimes the use case legit calls for something complicated. It can mean the code is bad if it's yellow/red.

None of that is about the game knowledge and viability within Wow's sandbox

Anyone else encounter the bug in grim batol where somehow corrupt the blood gets applied to the lava benders during 3rd boss?

balmy condor
#

Yep

#

Happens sometimes

hard wolf
#

Anyone know, is there an easy way to make Deathstalker mark pop out more on enemy targets? I sometimes find myself messing up when there is a big pull, I try to garrote/rupture everything, then going back to my main target, finding it hard to spot where it is

#

Any tricks and tips on this would be much appriciated!

blazing pumice
#

plater that changes colour for your deathmark target

runic hinge
#

Could use a plater

blazing pumice
#

i sent you a plater mod

runic hinge
#

uhhh

blazing pumice
#

in dm

runic hinge
#

moroes dead?

#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
runic hinge
#

okay maybe for a minute, anyways whispyrs plater changes the color based on your DSM

blazing pumice
#

the mod i sent you changes colour depending on

  1. if rupture is up
  2. if garrote is up
  3. if rupture+garrote is up
  4. if rupture+garrote+dsm is up
novel star
#

not really a thing

#

garrotting everything is good if you have stealth but rup is just for scent really

hard wolf
#

oh

candid sun
#

Is it just rupture for your scent of blood stacks?

#

Yeah thought ao

novel star
#

yeah

hard wolf
#

so you guys dont really get rupture to everything=

#

I thought you should xD

#

I have a plater mod that shows casters and melee ect for m+

#

currently

novel star
#

even with carnage you don’t rup everything, other spenders are just better

hard wolf
#

oh ok

#

learning ^^

novel star
#

but stealth buffed garrote is a good builder

#

so you do a lot of that

#

you just spend it on ct after 5 rups are out

hard wolf
#

So in a big pack, you would stealth garrote out as much as possible for silence and dots, then rupture whatever makes sense in the dot window, then go for caustic envenoms?

#

so you stick more to one target basicly at a pull?

novel star
#

ya

hard wolf
#

after getting chrimson out aswell ofc

novel star
#

caustic spatter and ct are the majority of your aoe damage

hard wolf
#

ok thanks! that makes it alot easier ^^

novel star
#

rupture and garrote kinda suck

candid sun
#

So what, garrote with carnage for dmg and then only rupture for stacks? I feel like I do lose dps here because also try to spread it for silences as well. I guess just garrote x2 > rupture x2 then burst

hard wolf
#

more for energy regen I guess?

novel star
#

ya

#

all you need is like 5 or 6 bleeds for infinite energy tho

#

so usually just scent stacks does everything

hard wolf
#

scent stacks

#

I might be daft here, talent?

candid sun
#

Scent of blood

hard wolf
#

right!

novel star
candid sun
#

Yeah I was doing it for initial cc instead of just committing to kicks and stuns, me modifying my plater clicking radius should fix that

#

So I guess just commit to the rotation of x2 for each then go ham

novel star
#

idk

#

it’s probably not that bad

candid sun
#

Idk so many little things here that I don't know lol

novel star
#

depends on pack size but most of the time you have to fok twice anyway so you’re not really slowing down your finishers that much if u hit a garrote for iron wire every like 5 seconds or whatev

frosty bridge
#

where can a man find the bis dslice profile

novel star
#

nowhere

candid sun
frosty bridge
#

can't be right

candid sun
#

Just not sure what takes priority

frosty bridge
novel star
candid sun
#

I guess ruptured targets for scent then tempest

novel star
#

so it’s just rupture rupture

candid sun
#

Sbs?

#

My b

novel star
#

serrated bone spike

candid sun
#

Ah

#

Yeah

novel star
#

and also don’t overcap cp

candid sun
#

Yeah cardinal sin lol

novel star
#

just use 2 garrotes and then finish

candid sun
#

OK np

novel star
#

we have like 15 hours of carnage now anyway if u play subterfuge

candid sun
#

Yeah I do

#

I just came back after quitting around mop, tryna re learn the class

novel star
#

but yeah it’s really just 5 ruptures and then ct / mash envenoms

mild rock
#

Anyone know why my FoK is giving me 1 cp on aoe packs?

candid sun
#

Probably not triggering seal fate

novel star
frosty bridge
mild rock
#

what gives FoK the CP? Targets hit? Crit?

novel star
#

crit

mild rock
#

ah

novel star
#

you can hit 27 targets and only get 1 crit

#

and you’ll get 2cp

#

happens

mild rock
#

how much crit u guys runnin?

novel star
#

the amount that the robot tells me to run

#

i don’t look at stats

#

simming is bis

candid sun
#

Think I'm like 30 / 50 %

#

30 crit 50 mastery

coral ibex
#

specific stat values dont matter

blazing pumice
#

people aren't dropping sbs in m+ just because of qol right

#

@subtle tundra o you are

subtle tundra
#

huh

#

be more explicit?

blazing pumice
#

trying to figure out if i drop sbs or not

subtle tundra
#

you dont

#

i drop it in stonevault only

#

cause i play iw

random ice
#

have someone the macro for tea ? that you dont use two

rotund oak
# mild rock what gives FoK the CP? Targets hit? Crit?

Firstly crit and secondary there is clear the witnesses from deathstalker tree gives fok the ability to generate 1 extra combo point(its a buff though,its possible always after we apply deathstalkers mark,consuming the buff makes fok generate the extra cp)

blazing pumice
#

are we only picking up doomblade to pick up sbs in m+?

frosty bridge
#

if the node placement was reversed there is no shot we would take it

#

the question is

#

is dropping rashanan cloak worth for keys to put dawnthread there isntead

coral ibex
#

emplussers man

frosty bridge
blazing pumice
#

i just want one more point for the spec tree

#

then i would be happy

coral ibex
#

what you pushin bud

frosty bridge
#

its push week

blazing pumice
#

16 sv and 16 grim batol are our left overs

#

basicly its sub week every week

frosty bridge
#

i s2g i have them on dh

#

maybe its dungeon tho

subtle tundra
#

nah

#

vers mastery and haste mastery i think

frosty bridge
#

ah

#

hmmm maybe i sim feet bracers instead of cloak bracers then

subtle tundra
#

and theres crit mastery back

frosty bridge
#

but there is no crit mastery belt either right

blazing pumice
#

i just catalysed some shit boots from vault

#

vers isn't that bad for me idk

subtle tundra
#

idk

#

its all like a couple thousand dps at most

frosty bridge
#

yeah idk i would probably use the vers mastery belt from first boss or something

subtle tundra
#

i dont care that much

#

my sims are telling me duskthread instead of dawnthread

#

so like

#

?!?!

frosty bridge
#

o yeah

#

actually should sim that too i guess

#

nvm gonna keep rashanan cloak im too much of a pig to not die in keys

blazing pumice
#

is this a thing then?

#

sims ok st and dslice

runic hinge
#

No iron wire for what?

#

Sanguine blades lol

blazing pumice
#

don't need iron wire most keys if you're not pugging

#

we run triple melee

blazing pumice
#

and a resto shaman

runic hinge
#

If you’re not pugging sure still pretty good utility over a 1% dps talent but hey I’m not running 16’s maybe you need that

blazing pumice
#

it's not 1% tho

#

sanguine is like 4%

frosty bridge
#

except in maybe GB

spice spire
#

Rawdogged

frosty bridge
#

not saying no to that

spice spire
royal lantern
#

you take one that makes your ST dmg lower

#

on a spec that has kinda bad ST dmg

blazing pumice
#

i think there might be aoe in m+ champ

royal lantern
#

yes

#

assa is a aoe monster

#

like, by itself lol

#

CT->cleave with spatter and GG

coral ibex
#

need that 5% overall bro

#

utility? i don't know her

runic hinge
#

Can’t even be 5%

blazing pumice
#

the timing of keys is generally dictated by the amount of aoe you have

coral ibex
#

+sb -iw sims at +5% in dslice for me

royal lantern
#

i cant wait until m+ monkeys start saying "actually ST is the only thing that matters in keys" again

#

followed by "utility is the only thing that matters"

#

and then "aoe is the only thing that matters"

#

the endless circle

runic hinge
#

Followed by boss damage is the only thing that matters

#

Drop CT and take single target talents

frosty bridge
#

damage done to shielded targets

royal lantern
runic hinge
#

Spend two months taking double vanish cause iron wire utility is so good despite the loss now that double vanish isn’t a loss anymore we drop it for supercharger and drop iron wire cause we need the dps

soft surge
#

show whatever talent tree youre talking about

royal lantern
#

cus its predictable af lol

#

say X, and the smort m+ mains WILL do Y and explain you why its actually the objectively best choice now

runic hinge
# soft surge show whatever talent tree youre talking about

Subterfuge used to do nothing before the .5 patch. Streamers and their ilk justified taking double vanish because the utility of iron wire was sooooo good despite the 5-7% loss from not having ER. Now that subterfuge does something and double vanish can be on par we got people in here dropping iron wire cause they “need the dps”

royal lantern
#

^

soft surge
#

i see

royal lantern
#

and even better when its

#

"i need more dmg for bosses" and then take sanguine blades

soft surge
#

would you only play ironwire with double vanish

runic hinge
#

Not necessarily

royal lantern
#

sanguine blades is a talent that in m+ has neutral to negative effect for boss dmg

#

so its like

#

allright

royal lantern
#

like, idk man, for me its a hard locked in

#

why would you NOT want aoe silence on all stealth pulls/mid pull if you use cds

runic hinge
#

I would play iron wire everywhere

#

I’ve thought about dropping double vanish for supercharger but I haven’t followed through cause I like master assassin over sanguine

royal lantern
#

in pugs it non-negotiable, the only reason i see where you can reasonably drop it is in VERY highly optimized premade groups that went over all cc usage allready

#

aka

#

what like 4 people in the world actually do

#

everywhere else, iron wire is just waaaaaaaay to good for all the safety it gives

eager haven
#

Is there some dungeons you take elusiveness and some you take cheat death?

runic hinge
#

Plus it’s nice for your tank especially if they’re aren’t prot pally

blazing pumice
#

once keys are "hard" you drop cheat death for elusiveness

#

if you are doing a 10 no leavers it doesn't matter

#

elusiveness is stupid strong now that feint is off gcd

royal lantern
#

more or less all keys above 10 ye

#

rogue without elusivness just dies in m+

ok ty i'm only starting on rogue alt at low keys atm but still finding at low keys i'm nearly dying to targeted things because healer gear/knowledge isn't there either

royal lantern
#

just take it

#

elusivness is your main deffensive tool in dungeons

#

CD is more a raid thing

heavy nebula
#

In a typical M+, how much of your total dmg does caustic spatter make up?

coral ibex
#

15-20%

heavy nebula
#

Oh wow

#

Enevenom?

blazing pumice
#

siege 16

#

ttk no sd, so your breakdown might be diff

heavy nebula
#

Oh dear. My caustic spatter is around 11%, while envenom is 13%

runic hinge
#

Maybe your bosses are living a long time

blazing pumice
#

that might be normal on a low key

#

if you had sub 10% spatter it would suggest something is wrong

heavy nebula
#

Not so high… an 8

blazing pumice
#

more of your gcds are going to be taken up casting bleeds then

#

and less on envenoms/spatter dmg

heavy nebula
#

If the mob dies too fast, that’d make sense, yeah?

winged sun
#

Its very common for people to cast buttons without spatter being up

runic hinge
#

In an 8 it’s hard to do spatter damage when mobs don’t even live a full kingsbane

heavy nebula
#

I find the main target with it dies, then I gotta swap and reapply bleed so that I can do caustic.

#

Perhaps it’s just always an issue of lower keys.

runic hinge
#

I think it’s tyrannical week so if you’re under a 10 your bosses would be taking longer which is why envenom can be higher than spatter

heavy nebula
#

Some gd damn ret pally comes in and melts the things.

#

In general though, one would expect caustic to be higher in a typical M+?

is there a new talet tree for m+?

dawn heath
#

I still think if you play with a low skill group its worth taking the talent cause people dont do any stops or kicks so it can be useful in worse groups

dusk hatch
#

on how many targets do u use ct?

dawn heath
#

#

Is it because of coordination / other talents are more prudent?

#

lol

#

a +16 with a aug+prot paladin is SLIGHTLY different then the rest

dawn heath
#

You said 4 groups its like 2000 timed ara bara 16 runs

#

But ye i agree ironwire is goated for low skill groups

royal lantern
#

i love how you mfs call everything that is not the absolute top 0,1% "low skill"

#

sorry, but it sounds so ridicolous kekdog

#

yeha i know what you mean

dawn heath
#

Playing 16s is really not that impressive

#

If u can get ce you can time 16s

jade abyss
#

You play 16?

dawn heath
#

Y

royal lantern
#

its really some "you are only ACTUALLY playing the game when you are GM in ranked" shit, ngl

dawn heath
#

The difference is wow is just not that competitive its easier than you think compared to games like league 80% of the playerbase has no interest in keys and even less people are intrested in doing anything above+10 for Vault/weeklies

#

People just want their loot and dips

#

This 0.1% playerbase u are talking about i have seen alot of sus players on high score if you just play and try u will get quite far

royal lantern
#

oh ye sure

#

you can slam yourself against a wall and get sucess like crazy in wow

#

the #1 way to get high ranks/score is time investment, not actual player skill

#

want a high wr in raiding? slam those 4 raid days a week

dawn heath
#

Ye this will get you far but u wont do like the world first keys unless you are very skilled as well

royal lantern
#

m+ core? do keys all day, 1 will be time and score goes up

dawn heath
#

Ye

#

No rating pentalty

#

Some people slam their heads in their finder enough times until they get carried in a run

blazing pumice
#

this can literally be said about any hobby that requires practice

#

want to be the best soccer player on your team? just play over and over

royal lantern
#

if m+ had a rating penalty, holy shit the scene would be so different

#

like

crimson zephyr
#

you guys really get 2m overall dps in GB? 😮

royal lantern
#

soooooooo different

dawn heath
#

Cant look at overall dps unless you have the same circumstances kinda

#

Same comp route key level the way the tank pulls your team mates so many factors

#

Aug no aug?

dawn heath
devout hazel
#

are the m+ talents right

#

on wow head

#

why it put me on cheat death

dawn heath
#

Any key over 11 bin cheat death

blazing pumice
#

cuz for the typical clientele getting their builds from wowhead, cheat death is the better choice

devout hazel
#

which one is the best talents

#

for assa rogue high keys

dawn heath
#

If obv you want feint in a real key

devout hazel
#

m+

#

then

dawn heath
#

You swap around quite abit

crimson zephyr
blazing pumice
#

there is no best build

dawn heath
#

Just copy one from raider io

#

Or go into wcl and check what people play in different duengons

blazing pumice
#

if you are using the wowhead build for casual keys, i would drop rushed setup for shadowrunner tho

dawn heath
#

You can check here what people play

#

And decide for yourself there is some flexibility

crystal glen
#

Does stealth count as a stance for macro purposes?

balmy condor
#

stance:0 is no stance, stance:1 is vanish/stealth, stance:2 is subterfuge/shadow dance I believe

crystal glen
#

Damn its split? xD! Well works for the purpose ^^

balmy condor
#

might be that stance 2 is all of them

#

idk

crystal glen
#

Weird its a third stance without its own bar xD

balmy condor
#

it's been like half a decade

#

I've never needed stance macros

#

I think [nostealth] is also a thing

crystal glen
#

Was thinking of putting cheapshot as a stance conditipn on stun

#

Pugging Keys with everyone throwing kicks randomly makes you waste alot of cp on stuns xD

blazing pumice
#

you can, it's fine for casual play, kidney lasts a lot longer though so it's bad for pvp

balmy condor
#

cheapshot in pve

blazing pumice
#

and potentially you want to save dr in pve too

balmy condor
#

stay back satan

waxen oyster
#

I dont think i’ve ever pressed cheapshot

#

as assa

#

thats banned

jade abyss
#

What is cheapshot?

balmy condor
#

exactly

waxen oyster
#

A pvp button

royal lantern
#

what is a pvp?

dawn heath
#

Tbh i dont have it bound lmao

crystal glen
#

Would you rather kidney in subtefuge than cheapshot?

dawn heath
#

Even tho i play subterfuge

waxen oyster
#

No

blazing pumice
#

it depends on your intention

waxen oyster
#

You let the classes with lower opportunity cost

blazing pumice
#

most cases no

jade abyss
waxen oyster
#

cast their stuns

#

in opener

blazing pumice
#

if you want the long ass kidney shot stun for whatever reason, you ks instead

dawn heath
#

Whos gonna drop a cheap shot global mid bleed window

#

Fuck that shit

waxen oyster
#

Tbh

blazing pumice
#

st stuns are kind of dead in pve now anyway

#

since the interupt changes

waxen oyster
#

Using st stun is in my experience

#

thr first sign someone is fotm playing this class

#

as an alt

#

most rogue mains i see never press that thing

spice surge
#

Honestly kidney is way underused

#

8s is a very long time

waxen oyster
#

Im not pressing kidney for the resto shaman

#

who has 2 kicks in 30 minutes

#

fuck that

#

Guy has a 12s cd kick and presses it like its a 15min cd

lyric hill
#

hey should i do 2x dawnthread or darkmoon and binding? or i suppose what should influence my decision

waxen oyster
#

ascension is for raid

#

you can have both atp

dawn heath
#

I use it to stun the bite mobs sometimes if they are super low in mist 17+ and in arakara to stop the beetle cast if we dont have other aoe stops or if we have no kicks in the group and its multiple casters

#

Thats it

lyric hill
#

it's an alt, so for keys, dawnthread?

waxen oyster
#

yeah i mean most people prioritize raid

#

dawnthread in raid is technically better if your healers are good

dawn heath
#

Embelishments dont matter this expansion

waxen oyster
#

that too

dawn heath
#

They do nothing

lyric hill
#

very minor?

#

aight

blazing pumice
#

just double dawnthread

waxen oyster
#

0.2% diff maybe

dawn heath
#

1% dmg gain

lyric hill
#

sound

#

thanks

dawn heath
#

And even less ifc u have a 639 piece

#

In that slot

waxen oyster
#

ascension is 10k difference from double dawnthread in my raid setup

#

and thats with 60% dawn uptime

#

out of like 1.47m

#

XD

lyric hill
#

sweet

royal lantern
#

i hate thoe big numbers

#

cus people see 10k

#

and think its big

#

while we do 1,4m

lyric hill
#

also im mostly going to be farming 8s and things for crests, so fights arent very long and ofc downtime when travelling between packs or whatever in keys

waxen oyster
#

People failed math then

dawn heath
#

The embelishments give half stats compared to df even though we have twice-3 as much secondaries so its like 15-20% of the power they were in df

royal lantern
#

it doesnt matter really

dawn heath
#

Absolutely useless

#

You could probably remove your embelishments and play full 639 gear and barely lose any dps

waxen oyster
#

I just did a few sims

#

just out of boredom

#

since am “done” with gear besifes skardyn

dawn heath
#

Im also kinda done with gearing

lyric hill
#

waxen oyster
#

engy helm outsimming 639?

dawn heath
#

Yes

#

In m+ by quite alot

#

Was like 7k in dslice

waxen oyster
#

i mean trailspinner probably better in m+?

dawn heath
#

Nope

waxen oyster
#

Oh probably because zero haste bad

dawn heath
#

I have no Haste on any other items

#

So its ok

waxen oyster
#

Yeah it's the same way for me

#

neck bins haste anywhere else for me though

#

funny

#

I need to fix dh though...

#

#

Purely simdps wise its mid, just like the other 1% races

#

But if y ou want to jusat go ahead

wooden atlas
#

General rotational question I could use some help with: Is it better to maintain more Envenom uptime or play around min-maxing Sanguine Blades? Any difference ST vs AoE? Thanks!

#

I always feel energy starved on ST or low target count

prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. You want to be playing for the highest uptime on Envenom, and not blindly spamming away all your energy. Rapid Injection, Sanguine Blades, and Vicious Venoms all play into this gameplay.

  • No, haste will not make this feel noticeably better.
  • 10% haste only contributes to around 2 actions per minute
  • You should be playing for envenom uptime in single target
waxen oyster
#

That’s just assa design at 1-2t

#

3+ you have giga resources to spam

wooden atlas
#

Can anyone weigh in on the specifics of my question? I understand energy starvation is normal, what I am wondering comes down to Envenom uptime vs trying to min-max Sanguine Blades. Do I legit just ignore the talent?

coral ibex
#

what do you think min maxing sanguine blades means?

wooden atlas
#

If I have a choice between maintaining Envenom uptime vs getting benefit from being above 50% energy for the extra bleed damage

#

and does it change from ST to AoE or during say Kingsbane windows

spice surge
#

Sanguine is not something you play around no

wooden atlas
#

Is that true during Deathmark?

spice surge
#

Yes

#

Deathmark doesnt change anything

wooden atlas
#

Appreciate it thank you

#

Almost seems like a waste of a talent

#

I guess on large pulls you benefit

#

when you have lots of energy coming in

spice surge
#

Yes thats why its not picked for ST

blazing pumice
#

it's pretty big on aoe

soft surge
#

pool abit of energy in M+ with only 1 shiv before deathmark and kingsbane i reckon

#

might not make a diff but it feels better

for intermission bosses, if i dot up the guy disappearing on court with rupture and garrote, does that still give me energy regen even if he's disappeared?

rocky sluice
#

for mythic Silken Court, I notice I need to have like at least two charges of tea for the first damage amp on Anub'arash

#

right?

waxen oyster
#

No why would you

rocky sluice
#

I feel like with my rotation, they're getting used up too soon. are you guys like pooling energy for the first damage amp? any advice is appreciated

#

just trying to figure it out lol

waxen oyster
#

I only use one generally

rocky sluice
#

I guess what I'm trying to say is i'm using up my charges of tea too soon

waxen oyster
#

You have pretty decent energy economy

rocky sluice
#

it's automatically being used

waxen oyster
#

from having rupture on both of them.

rocky sluice
#

word

waxen oyster
#

Yeah I mean honestly

#

You're not going to beat the "good" specs on that boss.

rocky sluice
#

I don't care much about that

#

its just i noticed one pull I popped the fuck off because I did something different and I think it has to do with how my charges of thistle tea get used

#

during the damage amp

waxen oyster
#

Get radiant power+crystal proc is likely a bigger deal

#

@rocky sluice Honestly a bigger thing to remember is, make sure you swap your mark target before intermissions

Unless your tank is chaining 1-2 mobs at sub 10%

#

Then your tank is just stupid.

quasi hill
#

Okay was just wondering that I could miss some uptime on master assassin and dot spreading

waxen oyster
#

I mean depends how your tank is chaining

#

If he’s chaining a pack of 4-5 into another it’s a damage gain

#

If hes chaining 1 mob at 5%

#

I will stop and flame the shit out of him

quasi hill

#

You gain absolutely nothing as a tank chaining 1-2 stragglers at 10%

waxen oyster
#

Just shows tank has no route in mind anytime I see it.

#

Hm okay. Will start the explaining again in group

waxen oyster
#

I mean you literally lose a 5s silence and 15% dr

#

blazing pumice
#

check a log?

weary spear
#

idk how to read logs lol

slate crown
#

I didn’t know how to read logs at one time. Then I learned by opening one up and poking around, having zero clue what I was looking at or for.

#

In most cases, if the dots are dealing damage, you are getting energy.

balmy condor
#

in silken courts case it does not

#

but depends on the raid and the boss

#

sometimes it does

warm shard
#

For mythic court I see a lot of logs holding cd’s for damage amps. Is it genuinely worth doing considering you may not get some caustic damage and will probably miss the end ticks of KB? Should I just be popping KB and DM asap during amp or make sure to have evenom up first?

balmy condor
#

holding for damage amps generally better unless you know your timings and what you're doing

weary spear
#

If I have darkest night up and ruptures about to fall off is it fine to send like a 2 CP rupture?

novel star
#

no

#

you prio dn over rupture

weary spear
#

Rupture falling off is fine in that case then?

novel star
#

you also just don’t get in that situation in the first place ideally. but if you’re in it, you drop rupture uptime for dn yes

golden loom
#

Also to avoid that situation, use rupture as the finisher to get DN

weary spear
#

Yeah if I notice I have 1 stack left for sure. Just sometimes happens

#

Just sucks dropping corrupt the blood, no?

balmy condor
#

that's what you're worried about?

#

you're worried about losing a couple ticks worth of an effect that holds maybe 25% of the value of a rupture tick

#

it'll be fine lmao

any ideas on what to pick for m+? dungeon slice says neck or chest but i will lose mastery in that case.

violet jackal

I'd imagine neck but you can sim it

final dawn
#

sim says neck but ill lose so much mastery that it feels that it cant be right 😄

balmy condor
#

why not?

balmy condor
#

I mean if he can explain why he thinks it can't be right

#

then fair enough

rotund oak
#

u rly wait for an explanation PogO

balmy condor
#

but 99.9% of the time when someone says it they just don't understand what they're simming and how their spec works

#

so

#

yeah I got time

#

I'll wait

rotund oak
#

u are a modern saint 🫶

final dawn
#

well i think that most of my dmg comes from poison & blood, so I would guess that mastery is the way to go

balmy condor
#

and that is not what we were looking for, unfortunate

#

because that is just a fundamental misunderstanding of how stats work

#

!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
balmy condor
#

haste is bad in aoe because you're capped on energy, but really good in single target and low target cleave for example

oak tangle
#

🤣

balmy condor
#

vers is generically good cause it's just all damage

#

crit is all damage technically as well but gives combo points, which are kinda important

#

this is why we sim

#

because it isn't as easy as "bleed = dam and mastery = bleed so I stack mastery"

#

you're simming dungeonslice, which is a composite of single target (a boss), low target cleave, and aoe

#

so it evaluates stats in that situation

#

the neck has a bunch of haste

#

but it thinks that's good because the gain you get in situations where the haste is valuable outweighs the aoe where it's comparatively worse than other stats

#

so tldr no it's not wrong, you just were missing a lot of info

final dawn
#

I see your point, thanks for pointing this out. Not much else that I could add 😄

how do i play the second boss in boralus correctly regarding that fire-shot? just stand apart as melees or do you just run out of his meleerange and wait until it is over? Or do you just take it with a cd?

spice surge
#

Do you mean the fiery ricochet?

#

Spreading has no impact on it, its gonna hit you either way

#

Or if you mean the circles you spawn underneath your feet you just stack with all the melees and then move after the second circle appears

#

Since the first circle wont strike until a few seconds after the second circle appear

subtle tundra
#

closest target to the initial target, then chains

#

so if every range is on stacked, and targets one of them, you need to have the tank closer to them and it doesnt hit you

@spice surge ricochet

#

thank you

You can precloak it as well

Envenom

#

In that moment

#

you don't have mark on the boss

#

or whatever

#

you're missing out on damage from the mark being up, you need to get it up asap

grim jay
#

getting mark up has the highest priority in ST

weary spear
#

Sorry. Assume I have one stack of deathstalker up. So that max CP finisher is gonna give me darkest night

#

Which then puts me in a position where I have to drop rupture for a second or two to clear darkest night. If that question makes sense?

#

But shiv is up, so do I envenom knowing rupture will drop momentarily, or just maintain rupture during shiv window so I don’t run into that issue

slate crown
#

Is rupture in pandemic?

#

If so then you rupture

#

Shiv doesn't change the priority of finishers

#

you don't stop rupturing in shiv

#

you just don't pool or reserve energy

#

(not that you necessarily do that anymore anyways, but the shiv thing just means "don't save energy in shiv like you might outside of shiv")
