MoP dailies were fine to my memory... The thing that I remember being a terror was the fucking mandatory pvp battleground win for the cloak.

shadow pier
#

nah I started in dragonflight and have tried leveling in classic countless times only to never hit 60 because I hate classic players. chores in games are fuckin stupid imo "ree its an mmo its supposed to have chores ree" whatever . retail.is hardly an mmo anyways

rotund oak
#

im ancient buddy

shadow pier
#

but yeah no hate lol was just wondering if the ring was actually a huge upgrade or not cause ain't no way I'd spend my hard earned time in a boring gameplay loop for 5% dps

radiant raven
#

Valid, imo. Play the game you wanna play. If you aren't pushing the content where it's really important, it's really pretty whatever and good gameplay will win out.

golden loom
#

I mean you might aswell get the ring while waiting in group finder

shadow pier
#

nah ill probably just do something fun

golden loom
#

u can get 10 rings by the time u find a m+ group kekw

proven jasper
#

I have it across 4 characters

#

It really takes no time

golden loom
#

same

rotund oak
#

but he can do something fun instead

golden loom
#

some of the quests were fun

rotund oak
#

what cant u udnerstand

#

lul

proven jasper
#

idk i just watch youtube when i do world content

rotund oak
proven jasper
radiant raven
#

The real prize of Siren Isle is Marmaduke, anyway

proven jasper
#

Actually true

rotund oak
#

facts

shadow pier
#

I usually play guitar while I'm waiting. honestly I just wanna hit 2k. didn't really play this season and was looking to get beyond 611 ilvl or whatever I am since season 2 actually looks good

golden loom
#

I would say doing world quests is more fun than city of threads or siege of boralus or stonevault or necrotic wake

radiant raven
#

Just be aware that almost everyone will be expecting you to have the ring going into S2, as it's capping at 658 and probably won't be replaced until late Normal / early Heroic.

proven jasper
#

If ur playing on playing next patch you should prob have the ring

#

Yeah

shadow pier
#

I kinds figured id get roasted since most wow players like most wow content. If m+ didn't exist i would probably hate wow

proven jasper
#

High ilvl on it helps with that as well

shadow pier
#

but wouldn't a booty ilvl ring from s2 be better on principle?

golden loom
#

its high ilvl

shadow pier
#

since itll be way higher ilvl

golden loom
#

the ring is 658

shadow pier
#

I mean yeah its high for season 1

golden loom
#

while current 6/6 myth gear is 639

shadow pier
#

oh yikes

golden loom
#

so 658 is like mid lvl heroic gear?

shadow pier
#

didn't know that

proven jasper
#

Around there

radiant raven
#

Like I said - it's not something you'll replace until late normal / early heroic S2 stuff.

proven jasper
#

You’ll def have it a while

radiant raven
#

Which is why people will expect you to have it going into S2. Some won't care, but some will

proven jasper
#

Even into s2 yeah

shadow pier
#

idk why they would do that when everyone cried about the onyx being relevant for too long

rotund oak
#

even into s2 it will stay a while

#

like couple of weeks

shadow pier
#

that's omega cringe

rotund oak
#

idk man u wanna hit 2k,why would u cringe anyway

#

even if u play next season its irrelevant

golden loom
#

am I the only one that likes gear carrying over? like the thought that my myth gear gets replaced by LFR gear sounds kinda cringe tbh

rotund oak
#

wouldnt mind for legendariers tbh

radiant raven
#

I think it's fine it carries over, yeah. I like it because it's a boost going into S2.

proven jasper
#

Yeah i enjoy having some gear that lasts a while going into a new patch

radiant raven
#

Super easy free damage and stamina. minor in the end but not minor enough to ignore. One less slot to worry about

shadow pier
#

I mean the thing being relevant for that long gives me more incentive to work towards it. I was hoping to hear that it's garbage and not gonna matter in s2 because I just really don't wanna get it but now I might

proven jasper
golden loom
#

like call me a classic andy but lvl 60 dungeon gear being relevant in final raid of the tier is kinda cool 😎

proven jasper
#

and takes alot less time than that thing

rotund oak
#

it doesnt matter rly

shadow pier
#

True but if it's that big of an upgrade then it's be kinda dumb not to get it

rotund oak
#

then whats the point yapping about it idk

shadow pier
#

I didn't know they made it 9 trillion ilvl for some reason

radiant raven
#

Pretty much, yeah. And it takes no time at all. I know it feels like a chore, but it 's extremely quick.

golden loom
#

for the amount of work, its the biggest upgrade of the entire expansion by far

radiant raven
#

It starts at 6..4 something. Then you upgrade it 6 times. You'll do that while getting the gems unlocked. It'll take like, 45 minutes to get most of it done.

shadow pier
#

I'm not yapping I just wanted to know the ins and outs before spending any time on it

royal lantern
#

mate, by the time you spend here being annoyed at it, you could have maxed the ring on 2 characters allready

rotund oak
#

that would be my endline man

proven jasper
#

Frfr

shadow pier
#

well that's not true because there's not a computer on this train

#

at least not one with wow on it

rotund oak
#

u could play the guitar

royal lantern
#

like, its not even a joke, 2 of the "quests" are "do a 2min thing"

1 was literally "hit the turnip toy for 50seconds" lol

golden loom
#

and u will also probably encounter a rare on the runback from one of the quests and get a free upgrade on the way home

royal lantern
#

and in the end, that thing is 2%, like its not extremely gigantic deal

radiant raven
#

smh not having WoW to play on a train.

#

It's actually impressive how much better the acqusiiton for it is compared to the onyx ring from DF

shadow pier
#

see and they put this god tier item in the game and make you hit a toy for 2 minutes to get it instead of actually demonstrate that you're competent at playing your class.

rotund oak
#

imagine not having a french or a japanese train running with 300miles and satelite net with last gen cpu's in there

golden loom
#

I feel like I am competent at sin rogue and I still havent gotten myth track skardyns from vault sitmadge

radiant raven
#

Where's my heroic transmitter with my 19+ heroic kyveza kills dracthyr_cry

rotund oak
royal lantern
shadow pier
#

but at least you can get an omega bis item by falling asleep at your computer right?

radiant raven
shadow pier
#

"its minor but also 30 ilvls higher than every piece in the game"

proven jasper
shadow pier
#

"and also bis"

proven jasper
#

Maybe you should join a night

radiant raven
#

Damn.

#

I only have a Normal one 'cos of the dungeon quest box blessing me. it's just Smolderon all over agian lmao

golden loom
#

honestly I am so happy the ring released cause I am probably not gonna kill mythic queen, and the bastard heroic version of her ring never dropped either

shadow pier
#

"its minor and just a little goofy side thing that is also bis for every spec in the game, but it is minor"

rotund oak
royal lantern
#

and sorry if that will sound like an insult because its not supposed to be one

but you said that you are not even at 2k score yet, so why talk about "why put an item not behind stuff that shows how competent i am at the game"

like, that is a REALLY far call there lol, just do shit

#

and the game rewards you for being good by giving the best items in like, every other slot afterall

#

they just made a single item in a small patch that gives people SOMETHIGN to do, thats all

shadow pier
#

I mean I'm not 2k because I've hardly played this patch

royal lantern
#

idk why its such a big deal for some people

#

then queue up for your dungeons and do the ring quests while waiting for accepts/until the group fills up

shadow pier
#

BUT I DONT WANNAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

but I probably will

radiant raven
#

It gives you a physical ring model on your characters finger, which is pretty funny and unique.

shadow pier
#

I mean that is kinda cool

royal lantern
shadow pier
#

is it really only 2%?

rotund oak
#

......

radiant raven
golden loom
#

well the 2% is compared to a 639 ring no?

royal lantern
#

@balmy condor how much is the ring over a normal mythic ilvl ring?

golden loom
#

cause if he is 611 ilvl he wont have mythic rings

royal lantern
shadow pier
#

yeah i don't have mythic anything

royal lantern
#

but if i am ilvl 611, i would be giga happy for such a big free upgrade lol

golden loom
#

ye

radiant raven
#

Tyran's point is still good imo, though. It's whatever in the end. But people will expect it in S2 if you wanna do content early on

brave comet
#

then why are you not getting the ring then

rotund oak
#

he doesnt wanna

brave comet
#

if you have no mythic ring then go cyrce

shadow pier
#

like i said i played for like a week

brave comet
#

well then he shouldnt complain

#

if he already knows he doesnt want it, what is he doing here

royal lantern
#

i can complain abot the ring cus it made me replace my queen ring i picked in vault on week3

shadow pier
#

I mean i might get it since everyone's saying it's elit3 special forces item

royal lantern
#

smh my head blizz killed my vault

rotund oak
royal lantern
radiant raven
#

Maybe the vault bugged and just gave you it.

#

it could happen!!

golden loom
#

I really wanna join this but I also dont wanna brick my lockout, REMOVE MYTHIC LOCKOUTS PLEASE BLIZZ

brave comet
#

ill still use a heroic version of seal of the poisoned pact over this

royal lantern
#

heroic seal simmed lower then a normal mythic ring+cyc for me

shadow pier
brave comet
#

i mean, its really not as awful as trying to get a mythic ring off the vault

shadow pier
#

gear doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm not leagues behind everyone and inting in keys

royal lantern
#

i mean, you are 611, literally everything is a upgrade

#

and that ring just says that 1 slot is finished for the rest of this patch and half of the next one

#

for minimum work

shadow pier
#

like i said I really don't care about gear as long as I'm not eons behind everyone with damage

radiant raven
#

I feel like leaving pretty easy power on the floor while going into key is inting in general, though. You'll be lacking survivability and free damage. It might be lower keys, but if you are not wanting to 'int' then.. it's a bit contradictionary?

spice spire
#

You replace it with heroic ilvl next season

#

But it also will take maybe an hour to get it fully upgraded now

#

So it’s not a huge investment

shadow pier
#

is it really inting if people were clearing 10s week 1 with delve gear?

royal lantern
#

tbh, those people are not the same apes that run +10s rn

golden loom
#

I mean that ring will be better than next seasons delve gear

royal lantern
#

keys late in the season tend to be kinda cursed

radiant raven
shadow pier
#

like if im.not even close in damage then obv I would need to get it but I often out dps people way higher rilvl than me, at least I did when I played more.in df and stuff

runic hinge
#

ring this ring that, why don't you guys put a ring on a bitches finger and log out

golden loom
#

its kinda like if I would apply to a guild on queen prog atm with 626 ilvl and say that "liquid got world first with 626 ilvl, put me in coach"

runic hinge
radiant raven
#

Fuck that made me chuckle

runic hinge
shadow pier
golden loom
#

I guess closing thoughts: if u wanna have an item that will be useful for quite a while next patch, get the ring, but at the end of the day it doesnt really matter, just keep on keeping on king

shadow pier
#

the only reason I like wow is doing a rotation and doing mechanics. The questing shit is just abhorrently unfun to the point where I will straight up not do it beyond the campaign. One good thing about classic is that you had to actually play your class to clear stuff solo. if itll be good in season 2 then I'll probably get it but for the rest of season 1, Ijust wanted to goof around in lowish keys and learn how to play assa. outlaw die hard main but removing shadowstep was the final straw

#

assa seems pretty easy though. it's very formulaic compared to outlaw

#

so I'll probably get the ring but maybe you guys can help me out with my roto..I understand the opener and the shiv/kingsbane/tea timings and stuff but im struggling with when I should mutilate to spread caustic splatter vs when I should fan of knives

golden loom
#

in aoe you just wanna mutilate every 10 seconds to refresh the caustic spatter debuff on the target

shadow pier
#

Word. spamming fok just seemed really low effort so I thought I was doing something wrong. I can just hit any mob with my bleeds and poisons on it to spread it right? or does it have to be the initial one that i opened up on?

golden loom
#

You can only have spatter on 1 target, but you can switch it by muttilating a different target that u have rupture on

shadow pier
#

ok gotcha thank you

#

I'm assuming we just focus the prio mob and aoe everything around it like outlaw right?

golden loom
#

yeah

#

you cleave ur bleeds with indiscriminate carnage talent and then single target prio mob to spatter all over the place

dawn seal
#

yesss

shadow pier
#

are we using fok as a filler/builder at 3 targets or 5?

dawn seal
golden loom
shadow pier
#

Word word thanks again m8 that's all I got for now...
that is unless we wanna get into why they took shadowstep away from outlawdbthumbsup

#

jk lol. nobody needs to hear me screaming at the void like that, thanks everyone !!

for some reason, having nothing but mastery on this item is the best outcome for me

subtle tundra

how will you put it

#

on?

brave comet
#

oh theres nothing that does that?

#

i thought since it was an option on raidbots then there has to be a missive for it

#

oh wtf, why is that even an option

acoustic finch
#

Quick question, on M+ build opener when stealthed are you suposed to get like 5 casts of ambush?

balmy condor
#

stealth is used to spread bleeds generally

#

shouldn't ever need more than 1 ambush for the mark

marsh ferry
thorn thorn
#

I need it

midnight mist
#

How does ic work when everything is already bleeded, say I'm vanishing when things are in pandemic window, will it be still smart targeting or can it just rupture twice the same target even tho one has a way lower duration rupture left

neat smelt
#

from a quick dummy test i just did, seemed to refresh on lowest duration, could ve just been lucky though

rich hinge
#

is there a good macro or addon (or combo) to auto tricks a tank, and no need to change the name in a macro, or change focus target etc

keep that in mind

faint coral

is there a poison sequence macro anywhere

then change the keybinds on your stealth bar

you are the all knowning sin guy

what am I knowing

just off missing/present

okok

balmy condor
#

that's what I'm here for

acoustic finch
#

it makes me sick thinking of the dps ive been missing out on

so it just picks random ones

if everything is bled up already

what is the best race for rogue ?

the best race is the one you like the most

is that too low?

my stats are really unbalanced atm

27% crit 6% haste 42% mastery 14% vers

i feel like my energy regeneration might be sucking rn because of my haste tho

idk LOL

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
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

send this alien kitty showing feet gif pls, i forgot to save it

jade abyss
#

I read feet so here are feets D:

dawn heath
#

is mag'har just broken or what giving similar stats to a on use skardyin on a 2min cd myth track i saw the sims it doesnt look that op BUT bloodmallet uses the raid build to simulate aoe so im not sure how accurate that is

spice surge
#

Its not broken no

#

Its about the same as regular orc

#

Skardyn is just not a good trinket

dawn heath
#

was looking into simming itbut idk how to sim a different race

rotund oak
jade abyss
#

Maybe this is better idk

jade abyss
spice surge
#

Its the best we have but compared to dragonflight trinkets its worth like half as much

dawn heath
#

anyone knows how to custom sim races?

spice spire
#

Mastery is essential for big demise

rotund oak
dawn heath
#

kinda wanna sim like 10 targets

dawn heath
#

on my char

dawn heath
#

i guess the sim does not meld -restealth

#

so simming night elf is just wonky

#

holy fuck this took long time to sim

#

maybe i shouldnt have inclueded all races

#

wtf does mechagnome do xd

balmy condor
dawn heath
#

110k gain not too shabby

golden loom
#

110k when ur doing 9m dps is pretty whatever

balmy condor
#

yeah but 110k spiders in your house is a lot of spiders

#

it's about perspective

dawn heath
#

i'm really suprised how the passive stats can compete with 7k on use with your cooldowns

dawn heath
#

im kinda wondering if the APL is using the cooldowns properly in the sims

balmy condor
#

well you simmed 5 minutes of 10 targets

hollow river
dawn heath
#

yea maybe i should sim like 1minute

#

40seconds

#

idk

#

2minutes

balmy condor
#

you're surprised that like 1600 agi perma is good

#

which like okay I guess

#

also should use cooldowns good enough

#

can't say we really strive for perfection on 10 target patchwerk

#

but it's not like gonna forget to kingsbane or something

dawn heath
#

i just don't wanna use the Dslice APL its so baity

simple rivet
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
dawn heath
#

or rather

balmy condor
#

whats baity about it

dawn heath

its so heavily single target focused the damage profile of how its coded

#

10t patchwerk more realistic

balmy condor
#

oh we're in that age again

drifting cloud
#

all those 10 mob pulls

balmy condor
#

where dslice is too single target focused again

#

I see

dawn heath
#

Dslice wants me to equip haste gear which all high end key pushers avoid like the plague

balmy condor
#

sure yeah

#

I mean you do you king

dawn heath
#

so i don't trust it

#

i rather sim aoe and st seperately

dawn heath
#

doesn't matter if you stack haste rogue just does terrible boss damage no matter what

#

your enhance is carrying your boss damage

dawn heath
#

there are no players that run haste

#

in keys

balmy condor
#

yep

dawn heath
#

and its for a reason

#

its not good

balmy condor
#

yep

rotund oak
dawn heath
#

at the expense of all your aoe

rotund oak
#

its less ''aoe'' or ''cleave'' than sin

dawn heath
#

playing sub makes the key go slower even if you have 20second faster boss fights

rotund oak
#

but ST is twice as strong

#

or more

radiant raven
#

Can do pretty good AoE as it, too. Just can't have everything.

rotund oak
#

Sub is the nuclear button u press for bosses

#

its a spec that destroys bosses

radiant raven
#

And glows purple, which is a bonus.

slate crown
rotund oak
#

sub is also most likely performing better in planned routes.Fully utilizing cds can be xtremely powerful

#

pugging as sub is one of the most miserable things in life

#

Sending sblades for 3 mobs feels very wrong

royal lantern
#

then you all use cds cus fuck it, he never pulls big

#

and THEN he suddenly goes full MDI pull after that and you wipe

rotund oak
#

mfk@rs think rogue is a new class never seen before coz no one plays it

#

suddenly bros play it in keys then boom

#

especially for sub even more coz sub is like

#

unknown to the player base

dawn heath
#

did u guys see warriors got buffed then it got reverted like 1hour later

#

Lmao warriors get fucked 💀

rotund oak
#

they will eventually get buffed

#

and dominate pvp ofc

dawn heath
#

patent elk
#

will there ever come a day where dps warrior is meta in m+ ?

dawn heath
#

no

rotund oak
#

plz no

jade abyss
rotund oak
jade abyss
#

I would try sub when i had trinkets for it :<

rotund oak
#

u prolly have just not transmitter

#

which is what spymaster is for casters

jade abyss
#

Yeah i dont raid

#

I hate spymaster

#

It makes people mad xD

rotund oak
#

my mage blasted the entire season early just by that trinket

#

i raided once

#

that was it

#

stupid how powerful it is

jade abyss
#

I die and all my stacks are gone and now im mad and blame the heal that pumps on me but im to dump to use def cds

#

Thats my experience with spymaster players x)

royal lantern
radiant raven
#

I once had a tank flame me for very bad damage while he was pulling 1 (one) pack at a time.

royal lantern
#

eh its just

#

bad tanks that dont pull big cus "dmg low"

even thought that is because the pulls are too small to use cds

and when people use cds they think dmg is high now and pull big after that

#

most wow players are not very smart kekdog

#

doesnt help when its a spec where the cds are not really vissualy obvious, like all rogue specs

radiant raven
#

Yeee

#

Maybe I need a macro.. "I AM BURSTING NOW. BURST COMPLETE."

tbf, lets not act as if thats a tank thing

radiant raven
#

Oh, absolutely. It's not remotely exclusive to them

royal lantern
#

have a aug in your group and watch them use breath of eons when the pack is at 10% hp

#

🙂

radiant raven
royal lantern
#

i legit only had 1 aug that DIDNT do that all the time

radiant raven
#

My trick is to not pay attention to it and live in ignorance. It does not work.

royal lantern
#

playing with randoms when you have some idea about the games is the thing lovecraft warned us about

#

you see horrible things happening and are powerless to do anything against it

radiant raven
#

Yep, haha

#

Evoker is probably the one I know the least about, and I never bothered to set up good buff tracking 'cos lazy baby. But some other classes. Hooboy. HOOBOY. Depressing.

#

But c'est la vie that's WoW

#

Just gotta focus on what you can do better in the moment.

#

Leaving in despair is a valid "what you can do better in the moment" imho.

royal lantern
#

dev is a simple cd spec, if they have cds stuff dies, if they dont they do kinda low dmg

#

aug is braindead, and they still fuck it up by using breath of eons when shit is dead/when nobody has cds

#

pres just wants you stacked (all healers want that, but pres wants it even more)

radiant raven
#

Nod That's good to know, neat.

radiant raven
royal lantern
#

just in general abilitys with a aoe effect

radiant raven
#

Ah, right

royal lantern
#

like, youu want to be stacked if possible for healers anyway

radiant raven
#

Yeah

royal lantern
#

thats a general healer rule

radiant raven
#

Yep

royal lantern
#

but pres just has more stuff

#

their normal breath, the orb, the healing bloom, the CD breath etc....

#

but like, a holy priest also gets a stroke if the boomkin+hunter stand at max range 20yards away from eachother cus nothing can cleave there dracthyr_kek

#

Anything above +15? Im not sure really, im thinking long term haha

#

I’m returning back to wow after 12 ish years haha

hollow river
#

Well long term tuning changes across the entire game

#

Atm assa is considered the best this season for like 17s and up

#

Not many sub/outlaws are doing 17s etc

#

Pretty sure 15s are possible on all 3

spice surge
#

Not many people are doing 17s to begin with.

#

17s are title range keys

#

But ye its mostly assa for rogues

lyric egret
#

Ok I’ll keep doing what im doing then

#

Now as far as dps, what would be considered “good enough” dps for say a heroic raid? Like single target on a boss

#

I have no idea what is good or bad anymore, but maybe 1m dps?

#

I’m 611 ilvl

#

With aoe I can get around 2-2.5m

normal mist
#

if you have 611 and can do 1M dps ST, thats more than enough

#

you're probably actually doing a good job

peak mulch
#

does anyone know the aoe range of caustic spatter around a target ? or care to explain how it actually works , like for example in AK first boss i never see spatter cleave the adds from the boss

spice surge
#

Its 10 yards, based of your target

#

But some bosses, like the one you mentioned, has odd hitboxes

peak mulch
#

so theres actually no way to cleave on that boss right ?

spice surge
#

If you have the adds really close

#

But without a coordinated group where people stand where theyre supposed to, no

#

hi all - can anyone point me in the direction of a website/app to figure out where im going wrong? I'm currently raiding 4/8 mythic each week, and my Median Perf. Avg is 24.3 (37.6 by ilevel). I know there're a few stupid deaths pulling my average down, but I'm concerned there may be other problems as well.
I've checked WowAnalyzer, but I'm not sure how reliable it is, as it's calling me out for using Fan of Knives on Single Target despite having Clear The Witnesses - I believe I'm correct in my usage here?

subtle tundra
#

yea if your logs are that low then youre playing badly

latent sierra
#

hence my question...

subtle tundra
#

is that the only thing wowanalyzer is telling you?

#

yea wowanalyzer doesnt have fok usage implemented

#

regardless whether or not fok in st is correct, if youre logging that low there are other mistakes

#

(it is correct)

latent sierra
#

that's our ulgrax kill from tonight

hollow river
#

i don't think wowanalyzer is fully updated for tww

subtle tundra
#

send the log

hollow river
#

or something along those lines

subtle tundra
#

as suspected

#

its not the fok usage

#

there's 2 buttons pressed correctly in there

#

btw

hollow river
#

is that shiv->shiv?

latent sierra
royal lantern
#

check wowhead for the rotation

#

cus that looks like as if you somewhat dont know it

subtle tundra
#

you have 7 gcds in your 2nd CDs

#

you fok'd twice

in a row

#

its hard to get much worse so theres only improving

to the target dummy then

#

cheers

no worries, sorry if i sound like an ass

all good - can't fix problmes you're not aware of

this is exactly what I came looking for

royal lantern

yeha, once again, check the wowhead guide, it tells you 98% you need to know

if anything is still unclear, you can ask then

gusty mirage

1 black powder in aoe and it'll almost always reset your stacks

soft shale

for aoe it is less annoying as you are in dance quite a bit and in between you rupture

resetting stacks might be not a thing unless they change some things

IT DOES VIRTUALLY NOTHIGN!?!?!

they have a workaround

if you combine the ST failure for assa and the aoe assa for sub

subtle tundra
#

we have

#

cocksucking

gusty mirage
#

that's TWW in a nutshell

#

what's their workaround

#

exactly

#

just not pressing black powder in aoe?

#

funnel coping with shuriken -> eviscerate?

subtle tundra
#

yes they have bladeflurry

gusty mirage

it is actually more funny

#

you use rupture until you can dance

then you can use real finishers

!poison

prisma monolithBOT

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

Lethals:

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

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

@balmy condor how is transmitter for assa

for m+

#

say i want more burst for mist first boss for example

tis good

would i be sacrifysing a consequent overall number

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

Sky and sac good in raid right

spice spire
#

skardyns and sac

#

yeah

dapper cradle
#

sac goes so hard in raid

#

kinda caca in keys

spice spire
#

like for most it's our top damage at the end of the key

#

yours isn't even top damage just cycling trash only

#

you also should get CT in a bit more, 21 casts in 28 minutes is also low (again, this just for trash, but that's a large chunk of dam as well, and rupture + garrote are higher)

stuck knot
#

On big pulls for example first pull of necrotic am I trying to put rupture and garrot on as many mobs as possible in opener or do I just put out the first 2 rupture casts and focus on caustic and pumping evenem?

spice spire
#

build nor gear is there

#

means I cant

spice spire
#

also depends key level fwiw

#

but going to assume circa 10-12

stuck knot
#

Got it that is what I figured because I was trying to garrot and rupture more adds and all the little stuff just died super early and I figured caustic would do more damage at that point

I mean usually spatter is 1 and CT is 2, but I also find myself falling behind on caustic damage sometimes when playing a bit scared and then CT takes over

blazing pumice
#

spatter is maybe on the low side

royal lantern
#

if you have a priority target that stays alive for longe, spatter will be a higher, otherwhise CT will be higher

#

but both are always #1 and #2

indigo cradle
#

got the #1 place on WCL and the distribution was very different

#

for SV11

wouldnt read too much into that kekw

look at "top logs"

and use them as a benchmark

or for anything really

not sure if it's top but was the #1 that had a log available on rank

"top logs" are literally always some extremely degen stuff

or just straight up lucky rng with procs/crits and stuff

like raid logs are already fried, looking at M+ logs sounds 10x worse

#

humm. so for the common sense people CT and spatter aways on top?

royal lantern
#

ye

indigo cradle
#

ok

royal lantern
#

spatter and CT are your 2 big aoe things

#

pull pack->apply rupture and garrote to 5guys->CT->Single target a beefy enemy and cleave with spatter

#

thats more or less all you do

indigo cradle
#

yeah, I was doing 2M+ average with that regular group

#

was not so bad

#

last boss pushed it down to 1.97M overall

golden loom
#

CT is legit such a sick spell tbh

#

like compare the amount of work that you need to do for spatter to reach the same damage 1 CT press does

#

have to keep tracking it and that mark

!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
