It’s straight ass

#

No KB double VV is insane work

spice surge
#

Having the boss just pop and die 20M > 0 is satsifying

clever sapphire
#

tbh i dont even care about no kb

valid leaf
#

I mean no KB is cursed

clever sapphire
#

you didnt take blindside, the only reason to go left side dracthyr_kek

spice spire

Theorycraft maxxing

lets count m+ builds:

  1. 2 subt 1 leth
  2. wat
  3. 1 subt 2 leth
  4. 2 leth 1 super
  5. 1 leth 2 super
  6. forced induction

then on the spec tree you got:

  • hybrid
  • sanguine/sd
  • ma/sd
  • ttk, no sd
  • ma/sanguine/ttk, no sbs
  • sanguine/ttk, no sd
  • ma/ttk, no sd
  • ma/ttk no iw
  • sang/ma no iw
  • ma/sang no iw
  • cleave
  • ma
  • sang
  • ttk no arterial
  • ttb over bs
  • dashing over arterial
  • ma/ttk no iw
  • sang/ma no iw
  • ma/sang no iw
  • bleed
  • sbs no ap
  • ap no sbs
  • ttk no sbs
  • ap/lws no sbs
  • ap no sd
  • lws no sd
  • ttk no iw/sd
  • Weird shit we ain't gotta talk about
  • 1/2/2r9
  • 1/2/2r9 ttk
  • 2/2/1r9
  • 2/2/2r9 no kb
  • 2/2/1r9 ap

Fatebound:

  • 2 subt no tea
  • 1 subt no tea
  • dd no cb
  • wat no tea
  • all the same spec trees

so that gives us 6 * (10 + 8 + 7 + 5) = 6 * 30 = 180 deathstalker builds, follow the blood would make those 360, and 4 * 30 = 120 fatebound builds, so without swapping improved ambush/tight spender you're looking at 300-480 viable and playable builds for assa currently depending on how you count or spin it

Gonna stop you right there

#

Fatebound isn’t m+ viable king

#

The build above

valid leaf
#

All complaints to the creator

spice spire
#

Was a 8% gain over the best fatebound build in m+

valid leaf
#

@balmy condor quake has complains

spice spire
#

Like 7.6

#

Mf I always complain

#

This isn’t new news

valid leaf
#

Real?

keen mist
#

that is biggest meme

spice spire
#

It’s all in the talents that ds has the power

raven egret
#

Oh we shit talking fatebound?! Let's goooo fck that coin! 🍿

#

But seriously nuke that coin to the shadow realm

valid leaf
#

Real

#

Make trickster baseline for all rogues

#

So we stop dying to aggro

spice spire
#

I’d be down

valid leaf
#

Trueeeeee

spice spire
#

Also I’m not an insane fatebound hater

#

I’m just not a gambler

valid leaf
#

Im not even a gambler

#

But!

raven egret
#

I bet you love our season 2 tier set 😂

valid leaf
#

I dont mind coin

spice spire
valid leaf
#

It can be fun sometimes

#

High rolling lucky coins

#

Is pumpaaage

spice spire
#

Running the dungeon would actually tilt me

#

One pull would do 3x the outlaw, next would do about equal

#

0 sense

midnight mist
spice spire
#

I think deathstalker is actually the worst designed between the three

midnight mist
#

What losing dn between pack?

#

Dm is 30 s cuh

raven egret
#

Yeah, death to that stupid ass coin!

midnight mist
#

Coin is 15

spice spire
#

But the tuning nob is wild

valid leaf
#

How do you even drop DN

#

Is this real?

spice spire
#

A mf dies

But like vara said

#

If I lose coin I lose 7% damage

spice spire
midnight mist
#

For the next 10 min potentially

spice spire
#

Ye that’s rough

midnight mist
#

So you have to pull for your tank

spice surge
#

Targets "dying" without actually dying makes me upset though

spice spire
#

Never gambled in my life

#

^

midnight mist
#

It's actually troll to not do that

spice spire
#

That’s the other issue

#

Also the random resets that cause you to drop

#

But a consistent issue like that

midnight mist
#

I mean again, that thing should legit just be a buff tho

spice spire
#

Its also frustrating to see that

#

Ye

spice surge
#

Its not only on shit like the tree in mists, some random mobs also does it sometimes

#

Like ive lost it before third boss in GB when a flamerender died with it

#

And im like ?????

spice spire
midnight mist
#

I mean doesn't you just lose it if you finish a mob with mark

spice spire
subtle tundra
#

pro tip on last boss DB, if you have 1 stack remaining on boss you can shadowstep finisher him while flying down

spice spire
#

In a row

midnight mist
#

It always happen to me in these cases idk

subtle tundra
#

yesterday i was a bird

midnight mist
#

Idk what else

keen spruce
#

If you consume DN on a mob and it dies like while your envenoming it

midnight mist
#

Ye

#

This

keen spruce
#

Your marks fizzles sometimes too

spice spire
#

Only thing I found was just back to back to back dn resets also drop

midnight mist
#

I mean idk I have noticed that I lose it often when I do that

spice spire
#

Haven’t had the other bit

midnight mist
#

Hm

#

Resets maybe idk

spice surge
#

Surely they fix being unable to go below 3 stacks with DN up for next season though clueless

midnight mist
#

What does this mean

spice spire
spice surge
#

If you ambush with DN up

spice surge
#

Youll have 3 marks on a mob

keen spruce
#

Another bug smile_dog

spice surge
#

And if you rupture that mob

#

You'll still be at 3 marks and it doesnt do damage

keen spruce
#

Ambush with DN puts a fake mark on the mob that doesn’t work until DN expires or is consumed

midnight mist
#

Ye but I mean if you do that you just consume dn and it goes up to 3 no?

#

Like kinda intended or

spice surge
#

No

#

It went to 2

keen spruce
#

Not intended but you can just consume DN yes

spice surge
#

Like before if you had that scenario you would be at 2 marks, then you would use DN envenom and be at 1 mark

spice spire
#

I’m fighting every urge in my body to make deez nuts jokes rn

Do I go internal bleeding

Are you Mfs?

#

hello on mythic silken court during intermission i lose my mark and bleeds as soon as the shield pops up and we start the orb phase. am i suppose to be doing something differently during this phase to not lose my mark?

royal lantern
#

well, dont apply a mark when the intermission is comming up

raven egret
#

time it so you can re-apply mark on the active boss, essentially

royal lantern
#

i know it sounds stupid, but thats kinda what you do

cyan ember
#

so..hold my darkest night until the shield pops up and then full CP to reapply it during the shield/orb phase?

#

if i am understanding correctly

raven egret
#

its more a dance you get used to, you know when the boss phases, so you also can plan which one to place your mark on and plan ahead

#

that entire fight is planning ahead, they do the same thing in the same sequence at the same timing every time

cyan ember
#

got it alright i will try thought it was a bug or i was doing something completely wrong cause once the shield pops even if i have 25+ seconds left on my mark and bleeds they jus completely disappear

#

thank you

raven egret
#

thats... uhm... weird

cyan ember
#

yeah i know

raven egret
#

DM me a log if you have one I wanna watch the replay, the shield never cleared any debuffs of mine

sullen kiln
#

Guys what does DN stand for

#

It’s just deez nuts to me

spice spire
#

Darkest night

#

It’s the capstone of deathstalker

sullen kiln
#

Ahhhh of course

runic hinge
#

It stands for deeze nuts. Block anyone who says otherwise

raven egret
#

I'll block deez nuts

spice sentinel
#

Can we talk about how great the fact kingsbane can be parried AND goes on cd if it does? 🥰

runic hinge
#

It’s thematic

nova aspen
#

parry worst mechanic ever invented

#

ansurek parries me at least twice every pull on prog

#

that i notice*

#

parries a finisher or kingsbane*

#

or mut even

raw ledge
mighty vine
#

It might be her pulsing AoE aura that kicks you out of stealth. That's what was doing it to me

royal lantern
#

aka

#

typical parse stuff

raw ledge
#

aaaaah okay

royal lantern
#

reason #213672 why parses are kinda a meme dracthyr_kek

rancid summit
#

So I'm confued by something that seems like a bug. If I kill something with deathstalkers mark on it I then get darkest night. If I stealth and then ambush something else I see it gets the 3 deathstalkers mark debuffs on it. However, I can't start using them at 5 combo points if I still have darkest night. I have to full combo point envenom to get darkest night off me and then I can start popping marks.

#

Is that intentional?

runic hinge
#

well it's been like that all season so

#

probably

rancid summit
#

Sorry im newer to rogue but that just seems terrible. Do you macro a way to clear darkest night then or just deal with playing around it?

coral ibex
#

you consume DN

#

you always want to

runic hinge
#

you just build to 7 on your opener

slate crown
#

Yeah just don't open with ambush

runic hinge
#

and you don't need to amush when you open

slate crown
#

if you have darkest night open with garrote

#

you'll want to garrote anyways

#

or open with ambush then garrote

#

then build to 7 and pop

coral ibex
#

consuming DN causes an auto crit

#

so it’s very clear you want to consume as many of those as possible

rancid summit
#

Ohhh ok. That's good to know

gentle rover
#

Reapplying the debuff is helpful if say you only have 2 seconds left on Darkest night with no combo points. Otherwise yeah send the full combo points

coral ibex
#

this is also related to why you always want to refresh rupture with a DSM stack available, since a 7cp rupture won’t consume DN you delay your next set of marks and also lose at least one mark used in a fight

#

every finisher should be moving towards another DN

rancid summit
#

Ok, got it. That helps a lot. Thanks

coral ibex
#

happy blasting

runic hinge
#

when I get to 1 stack now I always check my rupture duration to see if I should refresh

To play in GB with the garrote silence, what talents are recommended to remove so as not to lose too much damage?

#

!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

Cool I want to give assassination a shot but I usually play sub so I have virtually no haste and a ton of vers

with more cp rupture only gain duration right

not damage

Yes

having to double fok to get full dps rupture osunds ass

balmy condor

would essentially delete pandemic at that point if it wasn't only duration, you'd have to start tracking rupture cp used since you're basically snapshotting every cast

what yall think?

looks like the robot already did all the thinking

I just feel like i messed up getting dawnthread lining on armbands and not being able to use ascendance on dagger anymore

#

But this should be better?

#

Atleast for packs

clever sapphire
#

1: if robot says yes then its good
2: embellishments are like 1% or so of your dmg so dont think hard about it

vivid mulch
#

Yeah okay

craggy elk
#

are poison stacks still a thing for envenom?

#

my envenom damage is so shit still compared to others I dont get it bugging me

what talents are you running

spice spire

No IW is insane work

#

Why

craggy elk

#

people be doing keys without assa rogues iw anyways dracthyr_kek

#

(im memeing)

spice spire

# craggy elk

ah for m+, well idk then just slam envenom more I guess

craggy elk
#

I use it every 5 combo points lol

balmy condor
craggy elk
#

I dont know what else I can do

golden loom
#

thought it was like you had another rogue in raid that did more envenom damage or smthin

craggy elk
#

hmmm

craggy elk
#

was probably an old post or something

balmy condor
#

envenom just applies more poisons with the buff

#

has nothing to do with it otherwise

golden loom
#

yeah only like really old and season of discovery envenom is based on poison doses on target

#

even then im not sure it works that way, so not something to worry about kekw

is there a bug or is this correct

Seems fine

glossy lagoon

how come i dont see many people running it?

balmy condor

cause they have 639 trinkets

Getting it at 626 to begin with is very rare

hello

#

I have logs question pls help

#

is there a way to view the the pull that I did most damage across all pulls

#

on logs

#

like lets say we did 50 pulls I wanna find the one that I performed best one

spice spire
#

You have to manually find that one

Thunderlord or Stormbringer for Mythic Princess?

clever sapphire
#

about the same afaik

#

thunderlord could maybe edge out with lucky procs? dunno

#

dont think it matters much

balmy condor
#

thunderlords is objectively worse unless you're doing the stupid cheese that gets your log invalidated

hallow pelican
#

i refuse to equip thunderlords even on classes that list it as a BiS gem. The amount of stats you lose with this ring still makes me uneasy and the fact that these "special effects" dont include a primary stat proc

hallow pelican
#

is kinda shit TBH

balmy condor
#

tf does that have to do with anything

hallow pelican
#

its just a general statement on how much i hate that gem and this ring

#

dont read too much into it

royal lantern
#

you dont even notice it beyond looking at details

#

idk

balmy condor
#

damage proc on any other slot = wow a cantrip item sick amazing

#

damage proc on a ring = muh secondary stats??????????

hallow pelican
#

to other people maybe ... not me

#

the queen ring is kinda underwhelming too

nova kelp
#

but... no interaction number big!

halcyon saddle
#

Well losing 30 to 40% of mastery is very upsetting.

jade abyss
#

what i have to do that people can analyze my m+ log here ? im sure i make a lot of mistakes

halcyon saddle
#

Compare your log on a fight to the log of a high parse. Look at the cast sequences and the differences between yours and theirs.

jade abyss
#

maybe a stupid questio but what is important parse or key '% ?

normal mist
#

key level

halcyon saddle
#

Key parses are kinda bait

#

They are too varying, look at a raid parse. Make sure that your rotation is solid and then optimize from there.

balmy condor
halcyon saddle
balmy condor
#

yeah idk, I'd feel bad about losing 4k mastery if I even realized what my mastery was to begin with

#

but I simply don't know what my stats are

#

so I can never get baited into caring

waxen oyster
#

basically fits this situation

balmy condor
#

most situations

#

I can tell everyone that this spec is brainless

waxen oyster
#

Green garys talking about how much stat they lose for a cantrip

balmy condor
#

but they'd still mald about refreshing an envenom at 1.4 instead of 1.2 and auto drinking their tea

waxen oyster
#

Me when i botch my opener

#

but i got good rng procs so it didnt matter

balmy condor
#

on my ansurek kill I legit didn't notice my kb didn't go off

#

and so for both p1 deathmarks

#

my kingsbane was like 4 gcds late

waxen oyster
#

but but

#

AUTO TEA

#

IS BAD

balmy condor
#

and it did exactly the same damage as all my other pulls

#

legit less than 5k diff

#

similar procs and all

waxen oyster
#

yeah its insane how much people overthink gear

balmy condor
#

I sim transmitter APL, it's optimal to trigger the transmitter on shiv, but triggering it FIVE SECONDS LATER

spice spire
#

Nothing matters let’s rucking go

balmy condor
#

0.1% diff

waxen oyster
#

when theres a tool that tells you the objective best

balmy condor
#

we live in a world where you can basically just slam deathmark, black out for 3-4 seconds

#

and then resume the rest of your rotation

#

and it has no impact on your performance

IS anyone else having issues with stealth randomly breaking on first boss pack in dawnbreaker

#

it happends to me every other run

im gonna lost my mind soon

#

like what the fuck is happening here?

#

need whispyr help to check thel og

#

log

#

somethings not adding ujp here

#

i can always stadowstep ambush mob but this mob in particular always breaks my stealth

#

for some reason i melee attack fromstealth before ambushing

#

but it makes no sense

#

i did not right click the mob

#

and since im not playing subterfuge it griefs my mark

dapper cradle
dawn heath
#

nope

#

mind you this only happends in this duengon on this pull

#

it never happends anywhere a single time

#

on any other place

#

never encountered it

#

its happend to me like atleast 5 times by now

dapper cradle
#

Huh that’s weird man idk

dawn heath
#

only on this pull

#

you can see me hit the ambush button

#

just after i tp

#

but its already meleed me out of stealth

dapper cradle
#

Yeah that’s sus for sure

dawn heath
#

no shadowstep

#

just walking up

dapper cradle
#

That WA soundpack is crazy

#

I can’t play with that lmao

dawn heath
#

and another one

#

it literally only happends on this pack

#

it makes no sense

dawn heath
#

it always breaks my stleath before i can ambush

#

@balmy condor send help

#

i dont wanna waste vanish every time on first pull

#

i am not using start attack or right clicking in any of these clips

balmy condor
#

link logs

dawn heath
#

pretty confident it melees me out of stealthj in every single clip

#

buti t really makes no sense

#

cause this never happends in any other place

#

its legit only this pull

balmy condor
#

yah it's just melee

dawn heath
#

i don't understand how though

#

this never happends anywhere else

#

i don't use startattack macros

balmy condor
#

well you wouldn't need to use start attack macros

#

every attack is a start attack

dawn heath
#

ye well someone asked

#

if i had startattack

#

so im trying to figure out whats happening

balmy condor
#

try a stop attack I guess

dawn heath
#

why is this a reoccuring this only in this trashpull?

balmy condor
#

no idea

dawn heath
#

first i thought it had something to do with my distract

#

cause i would distract the pack i thought maybe that just enabled auto attacks

#

but in the last clip i didnt even distract

gilded oasis
#

but why vanish. you went into the pull with IC up even if pulled out of stealth popped DM and KB and then vanished but did nothing after that that would have utilized your vanish (no garrote no ruptures)

dawn heath
#

pretty sure i was just tilted

#

cause it kept happening to me

The guides say to use Thistle Tea during Shiv as long as you won't overcap energy, but the APL's line for Thistle Tea doesn't have any overcapping energy protection, even though the comment says it does. It uses Thistle Tea if:

  1. !buff.thistle_tea.up&dot.kingsbane.ticking&dot.kingsbane.remains<8 Thistle Tea isn't active AND Kingsbane is on the target AND the duration of Kingsbane has less than 8s remaining
  2. OR !buff.thistle_tea.up&cooldown.thistle_tea.charges>=2&debuff.shiv.remains>6 Thistle Tea isn't active AND you have more than 2 charges AND the Shiv debuff has more than 6s remaining
  3. OR !buff.thistle_tea.up&fight_remains<=cooldown.thistle_tea.charges*6 Thistle Tea isn't active AND the duration of the fight is less than the number of Thistle Tea charges you have times 6

So should I be avoiding capping energy with Thistle Tea, or is using it during Kingsbane/Shiv more important?

coral ibex
#

you can do both by spending energy more aggressively before kb windows

#

just dont enter kb with over 200 energy

#

and you wont cap

rancid wind
#

is that avoidable in the opener?

coral ibex
#

i'd wager 99% not possible

rancid wind
#

not possible to avoid capping? or not possible to have over 200 energy?

coral ibex
#

DM generates a ton of energy

balmy condor
#

during lust you're stuck at max energy

coral ibex
#

so you will be capped

#

also lust yea

rancid wind
#

For Windwalker we want to avoid capping, but its just not possible to avoid it in the opener

balmy condor
#

same deal here

rancid wind
#

ok, thats what I figured

coral ibex
#

whispyr can speak on the apl

#

im just a dude

balmy condor
#

yes, my comment on the apl is "I hate it"

#

and I just rewrote the fucking thing like 3 patches ago

rancid wind
#

the fact that you commented that all out tells me you either dont hate it, or you hate yourself, or both

balmy condor
#

I rewrote it to account for pooling conditions

#

since 10.2 ptr added another 150 max energy, and no less than 3 talents that affected energy spend

rancid wind
#

gotcha

balmy condor
#

and I thought we'd actually get somewhere with pooling as a core foundational gameplay loop

#

which was 1.5% in amirdrassil

#

and then promptly deleted by blizzard in 11.0

#

so now there's just guts of pooling strewn about

rancid wind
#

So then do I look to use 2 Thistle Tea during the opener's Shiv and just throw away all that energy to keep the mastery buff up?

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

!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
balmy condor
#

just replace your shiv with that

#

and you're good to go

rancid wind
#

oh cool

balmy condor
#

it's like TECHNICALLY 0.016% worse

#

if you care about margin of error

rancid wind
#

i do not

balmy condor
#

figured

rancid wind
#

When Windwalker had Energizing Elixir, it didnt have any damage buff added on to it, so I wasn't sure what part of the ability was more important

hollow river
# balmy condor figured

have you noticed that breaking stealth with any GCD causing forward movement to just.. stop? on PTR

rancid wind
#

too many Energy specs that spend big chunks of time not caring about energy

balmy condor
#

it's actually incredibly balanced

#

the auto-proc line is a topic of insane doom

#

but numerically it's within margin of error

#

which is crazy

hollow river
#

someone mentioned it in #subtlety so i hopped on to check, and yep

balmy condor
#

in what situation is that even relevant

hollow river
#

what

balmy condor
#

like in what situation would you notice that

hollow river
#

pressing ambush or garrote... while pressing W?

#

right now on live the character movement is the same as always, you can break stealth with whatever ability and continue moving forward

faint vessel
#

I think it's "causing forward movement", but you just mean while moving forward

hollow river
#

i imagine you'd notice it if you vanish to ambush or whatever else while following a pack being grouped in a dungeon

#

etc

hollow river
#

did i word it poorly? if so my b

faint vessel
#

so if youre in stealth, and W keying, and use an ability, you stop moving

hollow river
#

yes

faint vessel
#

that sounds toxic yeah

hollow river
#

yeah it feels very jarring imo

unborn wharf
#

anyone got an ansurek log where you're assigned to take the first portal on 2nd platform in p2?

#

that 2 minuter situation is suspect

rancid summit
#

Is there an optimal window to use queens mandate or just send it off cooldown?

balmy condor
#

any time not in cooldowns

#

which should be automatic anyway since you're using skardyns during deathmark

#

just gotta make sure you don't put your skardyns on cooldown

rancid summit
#

So outside of deathmark and kingsbane?

#

I dont have skardyns yet. Still working on that one

slate crown
#

Well whatever your active trinket is

balmy condor

balmy condor

tropic jewel
#

balmy condor
#

no

#

it's just the entire raid abusing that one guys ring

#

it's also why all the yellow logs exist

#

:)

tropic jewel
#

ah now i got that but how does it work ?

#

so only one guy hast the thunderlords and everybody in the raid is proccing it ?

balmy condor
#

everyone has to die

#

the last line

tropic jewel
#

oh god lol

balmy condor
#

he's the one with the damage gem

tropic jewel
#

wtf is this shit nvm

balmy condor
#

so they're all just suiciding

tropic jewel
#

people doing anything to get a log

cerulean nest
#

what kinds of guilds are these lol

#

if I suggested my guild do that for me I would be laughed at

balmy condor
#

if you notice

#

the damage the ring did

#

vs the deaths in the raid

tropic jewel
#

yeah i already saw it

balmy condor
#

I mean that's why the log is invalidated

#

but yeh

tropic jewel
#

gz to the kill btw

#

royal lantern

yoooooo gz

balmy condor

we skipped second ring and I giga gapped boss damage

#

all is right in the world

subtle tundra
#

checking log

#

damn your comp is dogshit

#

gah damn i knew it was dogshit

#

i never looked at this dmg

soft surge
#

i think thats what it is after in

#

battle?

hollow river
#

a paladin thing isn't it?

soft surge
#

yea

quiet oar
#

Its a Paladin thing

#

Its in the templar hero tree

soft surge
#

do i needa log into pala alt and see or whats it do

quiet oar
#

They randomly buff people with sacred weapon

soft surge
#

those birds in ara swooped and nuked me

quiet oar
#

which is dmg buff

hollow river
quiet oar
#

But when the Paladin or the ones with the buff drop under 40% their health gets redistrubted like spirit link

soft surge
#

uh huh

#

so the pala stole my hp

quiet oar
#

Yes

#

The Pala basically thought

#

Fuck that guy

soft surge
#

fuck that guy

quiet oar
#

I think you can cancelaura Sacred weapon

#

but im not 100% sure

soft surge
#

cant wait for the incoming brew buffs for next season

#

brew would never

quiet oar
#

They just need to buff lightsmith

#

so templer isnt played anymore

valid leaf
#

Get tempered

#

Bozo

quiet oar
#

true

subtle tundra
#

you got the loser treatment

#

i do recommend feint evasioning when you pull the fliers though

#

not just cause of tempered

supple spindle
#

so in ST i generate compo points (do not abbreviate combo points) via mutilate, right? and in aoe i slam fan of knives? but when do i switch from mutilate to fok? at 3t+?

royal lantern
#

fatebound 3+, deathstalker 2+

subtle tundra
supple spindle
subtle tundra
#

though i hate when i fok and not get enough CP

supple spindle
#

oh god

valid leaf
subtle tundra
#

yea blizz kinda fixed getting CP

runic hinge
#

Just crit

valid leaf
#

I recall in DF

subtle tundra
#

though i still hate 7 maximum CP

valid leaf
#

U press fok on brackenhide 20 target pull

#

U get 2 cps

subtle tundra
#

cant relate i think i did that dungeon 5 times

#

shouldve stopped at 1

#

hated every bit of it

runic hinge
#

It was icky

quiet oar
#

btw yesterday i learned

#

That you can Immune Queensbane on Kyveza

#

didnt know that for 3 months

valid leaf
quiet oar
#

Tbf vrgl

valid leaf
#

I dont raid i knew that

quiet oar
#

I used it for Intermission when everyone gets blazes

valid leaf
#

Because as an outlaw ape i did go on that boss for a weapon

quiet oar
#

Its only the first second

#

right?

valid leaf
#

Ye

#

Cloak tech

#

1 sec is full immune

quiet oar
#

Ye i know

valid leaf
#

You have to time it but its easy really

#

For a gamer of your caliber

#

Its a joke

quiet oar
#

Was pretty easy yeah

#

But never tried it

#

Because for Prog it was better to have it in Intermission

worldly sail
#

never used cloak in intermission

#

elusiveness carried

quiet oar
#

It wasnt for me

#

Was for others, so i can stand still in the slice

#

and everybode else can "chill"

#

when everyone gets blaze

quiet oar
subtle tundra
#

i kinda started to forget to swap to elusiveness

subtle tundra
#

and surprisingly ive had cheat proc

quiet oar
#

If you are fast enough

subtle tundra
#

idk how

quiet oar
#

you dont get executed

royal lantern
#

^

#

you get in the execute range->CD procs->there is a short time frame where you can get healed before the execute happens again

mild jacinth
#

hi just wondering if this is a semi correct opener, noticed my kingsbane isnt doign a lot of damage in this heroic kyveza rupture did more, for context i am 625 ilvl with no on use trinket so im aware my cds won't be as powerful but always feels like my kingsbane isnt doing as much damage as it should.

subtle tundra
#

nothing you can do

#

low ilvl and no trinket and prob no pot

#

kb isnt your main dmg

#

yes its important but it has been nerfed

worldly sail
#

yeah looks like around the same % breakdown as mine from a mythic kyveza

#

you just have to manifest some crits into existence to make kb pop off PeepoStare

mild jacinth
#

okay thanks for looking anyway

#

time to farm some grim batols for skadyns i guess

willow falcon
#

you randomly send shiv outside of kb window

#

also second shiv is casted like 3s after the first one is gone

#

try to press it immediately after the first one drops to cover the whole kb

#

yeah, almost all of your kb casts you only press shiv once and the second shiv cast is either after the kb is gone or not casted at all

past marten
#

Vanish is also way too late

#

You're supposed to vanish 6/7s before kb runs out

#

For optimal MA usage

#

Your vanish comes more or less the second KB runs out

#

In the second dm window, you're not even using a second shiv and vanish is outside of kb again 😅

mild jacinth
#

so use shiv as soon as it runs out in kb-dm window and use vanish basically just before 2nd cast for master assassin increased crit chance to cover off rest of kingsbane duration, got it thanks

past marten
#

You should check Whispyr's wowhead guide, section "Best Assassination Rogue Opener"

rotund idol
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
past marten
#

In your log, that didn't really happen -> worse KB damage than possible

valid leaf

Manifest some crits into existence is a awesome sentence

Can you prepare DN on dummy in raid or does it get reset with pulling the boss

#

hey guys, is there any information already out, about the BiS gear in Season 2?

quiet oar
#

No

#

Many things are bugged

#

Wait for 1 week before release

#

or 1-2 weeks after release

#

after tunign happened

balmy condor
#

information about bis gear is out

midnight mist
#

bis s2 gear

balmy condor
#

max myth track leather pieces, 2 daggers, a trinket to use with your cooldowns, and a passive stat trinket

midnight mist
#

what are you gonna do with this information even

balmy condor
#

the same as the bis gear

midnight mist
#

start farming s2 gear or what

balmy condor
#

from the last 3 years

midnight mist
balmy condor
#

breaking news zac

#

assa gets no changes

#

and maintains the same bis as for the last 3 expansions

#

what do you think about this

#

need a live reaction

#

your first impression

oak eagle
#

we love bis of just max ilvl gear

#

so much fun

midnight mist
#

outalw is the same !

balmy condor
#

wow!

oak eagle
#

i wonder if its the same with sub too!

tropic jewel
#

i tihnk it is

#

😄

balmy condor
#

sub is even more extreme

oak eagle
#

wheres fuu at when you need him

balmy condor
#

their s2 bis stays the same so much so that they had considered using a s1 trinket

oak eagle
balmy condor
#

they're really in it for the love of the game

oak eagle
#

what S1 trinket?

#

Skardyn?

tropic jewel
#

which trinket ?

balmy condor
#

transmitter

oak eagle
#

Or the Kyveza pone

balmy condor
#

sub is a 1:30 spec

oak eagle
#

i forgot

balmy condor
#

why would they use skardyns

oak eagle
#

thats its 130

#

now

#

shhh

balmy condor
#

yah

tropic jewel
#

i thought u meant assa for the trinket

balmy condor
#

critical info

oak eagle
#

i havent touched that spec since the changes

#

i stopped touching it during S4 DF

#

because i was just having fun on Sin

subtle tundra
#

i havent touched quake since the changes

balmy condor
#

@spice spire you've changed...

subtle tundra
#

guys i need.... bit...ches...

supple spindle
balmy condor
#

No that hasn’t changed

supple spindle
#

thanks god

oak eagle
#

hope i didnt miss out too much on passing on the queen ring

supple spindle
#

queen ring sucks i hate it

oak eagle
#

yeah its not that great

supple spindle
#

also i hate spymaster's web

oak eagle
#

when i had a hero track it was doing like

#

2% of my damage i think

#

which i mean, adds up over time sometimes

subtle tundra
#

?

#

its literally 2% dmg with 0 drawbacks

#

(its not 2%)

#

its like 1% in pure st if even

oak eagle
#

yeah i was guesstimating how much it was doing

subtle tundra
#

but it has same stats as any ring

oak eagle
#

i dont remember how much it was doing

supple spindle
#

ye

oak eagle
#

i was gonna say

subtle tundra
#

ive had that one twice LOL

royal lantern
subtle tundra
#

gave it away

subtle tundra
#

it dropped a lot for my guild

supple spindle
#

can i join your guild?

oak eagle
#

yeah we had a 0.1% wipe on court, and then they nerfed it, and then that tuesday we killed the boss

#

in like

subtle tundra
#

rogue spot taken

#

!

oak eagle
#

3 pulls

#

nah bro

royal lantern
#

i mean, its reclear

no we just make fun of him for using tiktok

royal lantern

supple spindle
#

too bad, i'd love to shit on someone who's blasting shit on mic

#

such positive +vibe

oak eagle
#

we also had a mandate drop

supple spindle
#

myth??

oak eagle
#

yeah

#

i passed on that too

#

i have both myth skardyns and spyglass

subtle tundra
#

mandate is really good

#

like really good

oak eagle
#

well fuck

subtle tundra
#

cause you can game it

supple spindle
#

i think cast trinkets with actual cast time feel so bad on melee

oak eagle
#

god dammit

royal lantern
#

varas, we have a problem in my raid btw

we have 2 Greek Warriors now

subtle tundra
#

you can use it on adds and shit, and even if it doesnt reset it does big dmg

royal lantern
#

idk if my mental can handle that

subtle tundra
#

and my finnish one

#

my goats

supple spindle
subtle tundra
#

the finnish one got kicked cause he'd come to raid drunk too often

or twice

#

or more than twice

#

i mean, the funniest part of the drinking is when you get to late night drive

#

it's so fun to the point you stop caring about obstacles (pedestrians) in the way

subtle tundra
#

closest ive done to that was going home the day after a party and its not fun

supple spindle
#

no stop you're wrong

#

maybe i was joking about the driving part

#

but the long walk home after party totally has the most value

#

especially if you are able to savour it

#

during these moments you actually get that you're alive

#

no?

subtle tundra
#

yea my friends live outside the city and im the middle of the city, 20km+ away
