polar rampart
#

like my guilds doing a normal clear, we kill mugzee, and we can't even get to gallywix, anyone know how to fix?

lime fog
#

Hi all, is there anyone who would take 5 mins to help me out?

timber meadow
# balmy condor check pins

I see, so regardless of where you stand, anything in the red circle will be hit... but now where you stand could impact what's hit in a situation where what needs to be hit would be in the overlap of the blue/yellow circle

balmy condor
#

yeah

red schooner
lime fog
vale shore
shut heart
#

might be finally getting better

vale shore
#

66.7k a second dps?

shut heart
#

no that's damage overall but idk if it's super good or not

pastel cradle
#

in the priory dungeon during the 2nd boss fight where you soak the orbs, do you use cloak of shadows right before you step into the circle? or whats the play here?

vale shore
#

I usually just Feint

#

not sure if it helps

west crown
timber meadow
#

ye feint is busted, that shit just perma up

low hare
#

4p still bugged?

also is bugged in sims?

balmy condor
low hare
#

.> i swear i looked in here yesterday, and people were bitching about it

ripe carbon
#

do u use house of cards always when its up right?

low hare
#

thanks

balmy condor
#

on cd would be giga aids

ripe carbon
#

oh ok

#

ya

lavish geyser
#

does twist the knives impact aoe?

#

severe meadow
low hare
#

garbage

#

why?

balmy condor
#

old 2 piece is really good

low hare
#

is it like procing the reset off our dots?

balmy condor
#

what

severe meadow
#

Old 2pc is just stronger

balmy condor
#

the 4 piece works fine

severe meadow
#

short answer

low hare
#

i guess, it just seems so much better for other specs

balmy condor
#

well other specs have other tier

low hare
#

😕 dumb design

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

we have balanced tier

#

our season 2 set is actually like spot on where it should be

eternal nacelle
#

Is 4 piece better if u have all hero? Then 2plus 2

balmy condor
#

sim yo self

its like everything but the trinket drops in priory lol

#

I cant sim gems on raidbots but should sin rogue try to use 4 colors for the Blasphemite bonus?

blasphemite is good but not required

not superbis or anything

#

link?

timber meadow
#

bruh m yorder of operations was seeing the number first then the ilevel ... then that it was dslice lmao was like shiat you sim similar to me just like 15 lower ilevel

pulsar elk
#

Is CT on a pandemic window?

balmy condor
chilly marsh
#

that option is impossible to use

pulsar elk
west crown
#

and you should be fine

balmy condor
prisma monolithBOT
#

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

chilly marsh
west crown
#

no but simming vers gems isnt going to be great so you can get rid of 3 or 4 of them

timber meadow
# chilly marsh

its gonna try to max the algari diamond color bonus so its just gonna go to the moon level of iterations

haughty flicker
#

this is a lot of work to get 55 0.0% sidegrade results

!fuu

#

mostly why i asked if anyone already did it and if the colors are worth it

balmy condor
#

they are VERY slightly worth it

#

generally not really enough to care

pulsar elk
balmy condor
#

yeah idk I could add it on CT

#

but I also like

#

kinda don't care

fleet pagoda
runic hinge
wise plume
#

is assass really not that good right now or is sub just broken ://

runic hinge
#

Neither

#

Idk where you get your info from but get new sources

wise plume
#

my source is me in two different keys as both specs

runic hinge
#

Maybe you’re just bad at assa and better at sub

pastel cradle
static glacier
balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that feels normal

manic sphinx
#

Hi! So what's up with this new spark 😮

#

I only have 30 Gilded left for the week 😦

balmy condor
#

Use the free runed crest from the story quest

#

You don’t wanna use gilded on your second embellishment

cinder bone
#

lets gooooooo

balmy condor
cinder bone
#

damn the mount is nice this season

golden loom
#

Ah nice liquid swapped to sin on mugzee

hollow talon
#

are you guys doing boots for 2nd craft

honest needle
#

for sin m+ do we still press shiv at last 5 secs of kingsbane ?

cinder bone
#

last 8

honest needle
#

is rotation still the same from season 1 with same talents ?

cinder bone
#

you add in FoK when something procs i think thats only difference

balmy condor

oh wow I went all of s1 not doign that LOL

dreamy rover
#

ill need to push 10s for vault, ill try and get a +10 in this week

wise goblet
#

Wonder why liquid was playing sin on mugzee

dreamy rover
#

im getting fucked on tierset, literally 0pc dropped or in vault

runic hinge
#

Needed execute probably

wise goblet
#

Makes sense

runic hinge
#

Idk for sure tho I haven’t really been watching the race

#

Kinda checked out on it this tier

solar wyvern
#

Off a complete hunch and no actual knowledge, spatter adds in Gaols, execute

dreamy rover
#

check pins

solar wyvern
#

Was exile inside a gaol or out hitting boss with spat

dreamy rover
#

theres a cool explanation of spatter

dreamy rover
#

aoe'ing with spatter

#

sin gets cucked if swap targets

solar wyvern
#

Thats was i figured

#

I was wondering if that would be the play glad to see sin in the race

#

I wonder if gally is a sin boss too

#

Since u can spatter all the adds like this

#

Depends on timers ig

dreamy rover
#

we'll know tomorrow

#

kind of anxious/curious to see gally prog

#

"Liquid defeats Mug'Zee, Heads of Security after 149 pulls" HOLY

#

under over 200 pulls for gally?

manic sphinx
balmy condor
#

Cause wrists boots cape all suck

#

It’s just more efficient to put gilded into myth track

#

Or gear in general

#

You just sit on the heroic craft

dreamy rover
#

hey whispyr, i might be asking a stupid question but i just watched your S2 video guide and read the bleed build section and I still didn't understand taking caustic spatter over internal bleeding

#

(in bleed build specifically of course)

balmy condor
#

Internal bleeding is dosghit

manic sphinx
#

So even if you're only getting Heroic gear at the moment, save the guilded for 5th and 6th upgrade?

balmy condor
#

Hope that helps

dreamy rover
#

thanks

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

Yeah it’s just

#

Real garbage

manic sphinx
#

Okay, ty ty - then I suppose i can craft now. Just seems a waste of money 😅 ...when you have to craft runed, and then spend to recraft

#

later

balmy condor
#

You could play internal bleeding and do like 2.5% dps

#

Or take caustic

#

And press envenom once and do the same

dreamy rover
#

ill go caustic

balmy condor
#

Caustic is better on cauldron for example

#

Purely because the bosses are together for like 10 seconds every 2 min

dreamy rover
#

lmao

balmy condor
#

That’s how bad internal bleeding is

dreamy rover
#

yhea got it

#

i'll just use that on patchwork style fights

manic sphinx
strange sleet
#

Can I craft and equip 2 Emberforged Stabbers (crafted dagger)

manic sphinx
#

As in, for which to craft

blazing pumice
#

yes but it's bad to do so

pulsar elk
#

in a big aoe pull, I know scent of blood stops at 20% (5 targets), its still worth to apply ruptures beyond that range? say a pull of 8-10 targets

golden loom
balmy condor
manic sphinx
#

oh 🤦‍♂️

balmy condor
dreamy rover
#

IMO indiscriminate carnage should only start ticking down once subterfuge wears off

#

its literally a scam what we have currently

#

fix bug

golden loom
#

What

balmy condor
#

What

strange sleet
#

I don't think I'm gonna get any myth weapons until pretty late. Still not worth?

balmy condor
#

Correct

golden loom
#

IC is 6 seconds normally buddy

balmy condor
#

Still not worth

dreamy rover
strange sleet
#

ok thanks

dreamy rover
#

no way

pulsar elk
# balmy condor No

oh okay, then ive been doing it wrong, been rupturing beyond that 5 target range

dreamy rover
#

wow i was not aware

#

what a blunder huh

golden loom
#

What do you think subterfuege does exactly? OMEGAKEKW

balmy condor
#

Turns on carnage

dreamy rover
#

me rn

blazing pumice
#

you're playing wrong if you need longer ic with subt

dreamy rover
#

i dont need it

#

i want it

#

i want to apply garrote with no CD and 3 targets forever

runic hinge
#

I need to press garrote 14 times in a row and with subterfuge I can only press it 13

balmy condor
dreamy rover
#

please no

#

i like button glowy

zinc frost
dreamy rover
#

hybrid bild

#

vs chines bled beld

honest needle
#

is outlaw or sub ahead of sin or naw ?

#

for m+

blazing pumice
#

no one is ahead of anyone

#

it's 2 weeks in

honest needle
#

hows sin looking right now for keys tho

blazing pumice
#

good

dreamy rover
#

good just like s1

#

good

#

rogue is good

#

rogue god

#

WHAT should i do if tank just chain pulls whole dungeon?

#

just hearth out?

honest needle
#

use vanish

#

lol or dot manually

hollow talon
#

i usually just mass report the tank and get him banned

dreamy rover
dreamy rover
#

😭

blazing pumice
#

play nelf

dreamy rover
honest needle
#

u can still get ruptures out and gartote prio

#

nothing u can do happen to me alot in s1

#

they need to take the cd off it like feral rake

#

u dont have to be stealth on feral to get rake up

runic hinge
honest needle
#

which sucks sin use to be great single target

dreamy rover
#

it suck

honest needle
#

i have the same issue on my boomy my single target on boomy sucks

dreamy rover
#

try subtlety, boso damage god

strange sleet
#

Next week is the next spark to craft a new item right? Should I then craft the dagger now and boots next week?

Or what do you think is the value in crafting something like the chest for early extra stats instead of boots? I will only have access to mythic gear thru the vault. Hopefully this save I will have 1 slot unlocked and 3 from then on. I will be prioritizing weapon/trinkets/tier in the vault. Maybe I will kill some HC bosses too but that's still unclear.

Specially interested in your opinion @balmy condor

I also saw in ur last two vids Sacred Handle + Dawnthread Lining > Ascension for m+, and the other way around for rading. Is the m+ setup "too" far behind in raid? I guess they are pretty similar but yeah

runic hinge
#

You can have two sparks rn

strange sleet
#

oh, I have 1 and a half

drifting cloud
#

theres an extra half at the catalyst guy

balmy condor
#

all embellishments suck

#

doesn't matter

strange sleet
#

just got it now

#

xd

drifting cloud
#

then do your weekly delve quest

ripe carbon
#

i got mine from titan fragment quest

#

weekly

#

and then half from catalyst guy they added- plus 2 halfs last week from catalyst guy

strange sleet
#

Oh so they pop from weekly quests?

#

I don't like to quest tbh

ripe carbon
#

yea i dunno which one but i got mine from titan fragment quest

#

i just did follow dungeon > stonevault > 1st boss then leave and repeat for the last few fragments. u get 15 each boss kill im pretty sure (or i got 2 in a row)

#

o

dreamy rover
#

what makes our rupture combo points be refunded?

#

what talent or passive is that

slate crown
#

Bone spike

oh ok thanks. I'm gonna get my stuff then

Of the serrated variety

dreamy rover

Bonerspike

Good talent

#

No bias

dreamy rover
#

i actually like the concept of the talent alot

#

you keep em prepped

#

in your pocket

#

ready to go whenever

blazing pumice
#

drop sbs 🙂

strange sleet
#

Guys how does Ascension work? The stat that is given to you at random, is it "eternal" until you drop the buff, or does it change randomly every 8 seconds?

manic sphinx
ripe carbon
#

dont know if its the 'best' way but its alright

Wtf i tested assa for some keys yesterday..what is that dmg PogO i mean sure ST is PEPEGAEATEGGPLANT but overall it’s insane (bleed build)

warm vortex
#

Ok back in here for a sec cause BM chat is going

#

uhh

#

strange

#

would it be okay to stray from the gearing guide and craft bracers rather then boots? just because its my lowest piece and i already have decent boots

balmy condor

yes

Like aruging abot bis lists or something X)

#

What's the BiS rat list

spice spire
#

Ven is #1 always

lunar briar
#

is it worth using tempest on Single target ? by sim

spice spire
#

If you don’t have amp poison talented

golden loom
#

hit 16m dps on first pull of floodgate into shaman dying on 2nd pull and leaving kekdog

spice spire
#

Peak dungeon group tbh

weary spear
#

Pulled aggro first pull of floodgate 10 seconds in, after using tricks, two groups in a row :/

golden loom
#

well that kinda happens if u attack something thats not aggrod I guess

spice spire
#

Depending pull and tank

#

That could just happen

#

Warrior being capped means I usually don’t get aggro on everything on first floodgate pull until like 4s in

#

But I try to pull everything in the shredder area

#

In one pull

golden loom
#

also tricks aggro transfer means you will trade auto for auto with a mob before the threat gets put onto your target

vestal cliff
#

does anyone has a tricks of trad macro to put it direkt on tank?

golden loom
#

prisma monolithBOT

Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
vestal cliff
#

thanks!

dapper halo
#

i really like the bleed build for m+

#

its so simple

late gulch
#

what is the bleed build?

finite cliff
#

does it make sense to craft two daggers with the second spark or is one dagger or another embellishment much better?

blazing pumice
#

oh dagger is the worst slot

#

use the runed crest from the undermine chain to upgrade your embellishment bracers or w/e

hollow river
#

mainhand dagger is huge, offhand is a w/e slot

finite cliff
#

Got it, thanks boys

crafted one mainhand already so i will go for some emb

#

I have another question, does it make any difference on which item you have the second embellishment? Or does it make no difference at all

hollow river
#

Some embellishments can only go onto certain pieces though

#

Like Linings can only go on your leather or maybe cloak slots afaik

twilit flint
#

yooo this bleed build is nutty

#

thanks!

rotund oak
#

just as strong as sub

#

if we are talking about overalls

blazing pumice
#

yeah np i invented it

shy axle
#

isnt assa > sub overall dmg with sustained aoe but sub has better st and burst ?

rotund oak
#

Sub is definitely stronger ST,it's burst is ''softened'' a bit

#

for overalls there are factors but they are very close together

#

sub is generally stronger

#

or at least thats how it looks like

#

sub has a point where it loses to some specs(specifically in aoe)

#

like firemage or elesham

#

especially on 8+ targets

#

locks are also wicked on highcounts

waxen field
#

Ig in m+ you might prefer sub because the loss in st of assa is much more a hassle than the loss in aoe of sub

blazing pumice
#

for most shitter keys st doesn't matter

waxen field
#

also true yea

subtle tundra
#

fat overall > single target

twilit flint
#

whats the best races for assa ?

#

nvm i see it on bloodmallet

blazing pumice
#

it's diff for raid and m+

twilit flint
#

i gave my mythic raidings so really just M+ and making heroic work

blazing pumice
#

bloodmallet is a waste of time then

#

Do you treat house of cards like a 2 min trinket?

#

and just macro it to deathmark?

#

Yep

royal lantern
golden loom
#

we are all just silly little cats living in a silly little world

sharp isle
#

any m+ supercharged talent builds out atm?

static glacier
#

Im under the impression that sub struggles to compete with sin in overall, wasn't aware that they're close

#

I do think sub speeds a key up more than sin though, sin makes bosses take a lot longer than they need to

spice surge
static glacier
#

extremely unethical

#

but i've yet to see a spec other than enh compete for overall

#

mage is actually rather underwhelming atleast in 10s

#

idk about 13s

cinder bone
#

Is the bleed build people talking about the one listed on wowhead?

static glacier
#

yes

cinder bone
#

ty

static glacier
#

its giga dogshit st but you will pad like a motherfucker

cinder bone
#

i hit my 2k im down for some fun niow

static glacier
#

just remember that shiv is a v important button with arterial

cinder bone
#

Plus pug keys only see big pack damage and overall and troll you if you're not constantly doing 5m OMEGAKEKW

golden loom
#

like someone has to kill the packs

cinder bone
#

I think it's more you're sacrificing prio damage in aoe for pad damage when other classes bring that without losing as much ST

static glacier
static glacier
#

well, a bit better than tanks

golden loom
#

running kingsbane amp poisons isnt gonna make you do good ST damage either way

static glacier
#

and regular build does better prio in aoe than bleed build does too

#

so in that regard it is padding harder than we need to

cinder bone
#

Like this week running fort there are absolutely some packs where I know which mob I need to go full cds, pots for a big mob

golden loom
#

idk I would be interested to see the difference in prio damage

#

dont think its that big

static glacier
#

Im fairly sure amp + kb make your prio dmg better despite singular focus liking bleed + arterial

golden loom
#

you are running execute and shiving aswell

static glacier
#

can try and sim it, fuu did something similar a while back to compare prio / funnel

#

well he's not about so time to ask whispyr

#

@balmy condor know the string to sim prio dmg? or if you've done it can you confirm if bleed or hybrid build does better prio target dmg in m+ aoe

brave comet
#

on mugzee if the ads in the cages start blasting people with melee

#

how do we avoid this?

golden loom
#

had it happen when tank was in prison or something

#

probably tanks fault

brave comet
#

he walked the boss through yes

static glacier
#

the adds normally just cast

#

they don't melee iirc

golden loom
#

yeah its if the boss clips through the wall cause of tank

#

I got meleed for 7m by add

#

and died kekdog

static glacier
#

ahhhh the overlap

#

yeah avoid overlapping cages or the boss with cages

#

lowkey a shame, we can spatter both adds from outside if the boss is between em

golden loom
#

yeah just gotta have good cage placements and it works well

modest gale
#

what should 2nd craft with dagger ascension?

past oracle
#

you guys running bleed in 10s?

#

or lower

golden loom
#

some piece with writhing armor, personally crafted belt cause I had good boots/wrists/cloak already @modest gale

golden loom
static glacier
#

highkey with the ct / bleed buffs it holds up better in 10s than it used to

static glacier
#

last season

modest gale
#

thanks

past oracle
#

damn ive been running this m+ build

#

with kingsbane

static glacier
golden loom
#

yeah u just craft to fill a slot you have low ilvl in usually

static glacier
#

other build is just all in on aoe

past oracle
#

thats like 90% of m+ though

#

all aoe

static glacier
#

not neccesarily

#

a pack ends when the last mob dies

#

killing smallies faster doesn't neccesarily speed you up

#

it's why prio dmg is so valuable and ret isn't ever meta for serious key pushing

fathom valve
#

has anyone noticed envenom randomly falling off?

brave comet
#

i wouldnt call a 10 pushing

static glacier
#

yes

brave comet
#

the ads still die quite fast that the bleed build from experience just net me an overall higher number

static glacier
#

you misunderstood me

brave comet
#

and rets are incredibly viable at that level

static glacier
#

Im explaining why

brave comet
#

ye np

static glacier
#

raw aoe isnt actually good

#

for speeding up always

#

and you care about dmg to the highest hp mob

brave comet
#

you think so?

static glacier
#

in 10s nothing matters

#

you can play no capstone sin and do fine im sure

golden loom
#

honestly the beauty of bleed build is that you dont lose that much damage by going ironwire

broken chasm
#

Will disabling crippling poison take away some of my dps?

static glacier
#

just using it as evidence for people opting for prio dmg over higher raw aoe when they care about optimising

strange sleet
brave comet
#

the reason i take the bleeds in M+ is cause it only has 1 cooldown so you're almost always doing near maximum damage anyway lmao

#

i dont like guessing when we're gonna meet the boss

#

and aligning my cooldowns with that

strange sleet
#

I just did 3.44M in an priory 8 at 648ilvl. That's just really good

static glacier
#

I like bleed build for that reason too, using kb creates annoying situations like wanting to auto 1 mob but then there's a caster 10y away you'd like to kick

strange sleet
#

with bleed

static glacier
#

bleed build gets to just walk over and kick without being tied to a kb mob

brave comet
#

and has a really strong afk dmg

sharp isle
#

The bleed builds ST is atrocius i just tried it did like 1.4m

#

at 2 min 20 sec

strange sleet
#

where did you try and what's your ilvl? 1.4 is actually good

static glacier
#

considering i've had situations with like 1-1.2

#

with scuffed cd timings

#

also final point on the whole st vs prio vs aoe

#

look at the kind of builds casual runs

#

he's giving up a lot of overall here for a bit more st

sharp isle
#

tried it agin and it was 1.2m

#

but thats me using pot on a dummy

golden loom
#

I mean you wont have affix on dummy, you wont have potential add spawns during a boss fight which give you a huge amount of damage, etc

strange sleet
#

also testing execute builds in the dummy is kinda rough

golden loom
#

also using cds on cd with bleed build feels much better cause the situation where deathmark comes up when boss is like 40% hp feels so good

cinder bone
#

for bleed build what do you drop to take iron wire?

golden loom
#

can check out the guide as it has a whole section on it, personally I drop master assassin for it

sullen mural
thorny kraken
#

is signet of the priory supposed to procc crit or mastery?

warm vortex
#

Whatever is highest

thorny kraken
#

i was just wondering if i should stack a certain stat more to get it to procc either crit or mastery

sharp isle
#

Is it worth farming bubbling wax or just use a ironclaw stone?

golden loom
#

ironclaw 👍

Play whatever you want

#

Both good

#

Sorry if this is not the place to ask, but can anyone show me where I could get good plater imports for assassination rogue?

prisma monolithBOT
young knot
#

any good talent for top?

hollow wren
#

Most of these plater nameplates doesn't show caustic spatter, which seems important in aoe

#

Gonna try and add it myself

dull prism
#

how much haste percentage should i aim for ish?

hollow river
#

it changes color of the plates

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
hollow river
#

we don't aim for any specific stat amounts

#

just sim your gear and upgrades etc

is it green if they have full hp

hollow wren
hollow river
#

The green one has spatter

hollow wren
#

Oh

hollow river
#

Yeah

#

Read the description on the wago page

hollow wren
#

Do you think I could show it on the side of rupture

hollow river
#

It has a legend for what all it does

#

You could if you wanted to, ofc

golden loom
hollow wren
#

Yeah

hollow river
#

Just go into the debuffs and set it to do so

hollow wren
#

I just did

#

Sec

hollow wren
hollow river
hollow wren
#

I did

hollow river
#

Then add it to be tracked

#

“Add debuff to track list” on the left

hollow wren
#

Sec thats probably it, mb

#

This log shows caustic spatter very high on damage %, my dps usually doesn't get that high

#

Even in aoe, although you only apply it to one target

hollow river
#

Because it does aoe damage

hollow wren
haughty flicker
#

caustic spatter should be one of your highest priorities in aoe yeah

#

apply your bleeds, use mutilate/ambush to apply caustic, then spam fok/envenom

hollow wren
#

I saw a video on reapplying garrote + rupture and didn't get it yet, gonna comeback with more questions later, I might play assa this season aswell

hearty reef
#

Haters gonna hate

haughty flicker
#

even in bleed build caustic is normally your second highest damage lmao

#

unless you're doing uber low keys where demise does half their hp

haughty flicker
#

dude took envenom off his bars

hexed frost
haughty flicker
#

how is garrote your top damage

#

wtf are you doing lmao

hexed frost
#

Did +10 cinderbrew last week and half the adds popped open before Kingsbane expired on the big guy

hexed frost
royal lantern
golden loom
#

bleedbuild with kingsbane and garrote did top damage monkahmm

hexed frost
#

I may no longer participate in bleedmaxxing, but the memories still linger on

golden loom
#

I assumed this was from the garrote top dam detail

hexed frost
#

Oh yeah that was one off

#

Went back to no Kingsbane after that

haughty flicker
#

i swear ive never seen demise do that much damage in 10s with bleed build thats wild

#

are your other dps giga pumpers or something

hexed frost
haughty flicker
#

oh its unethical demise maxxing

hexed frost
#

Ele wonders where did his damage go

haughty flicker
#

i respect it

#

its always funny seeing the mobs just instantly disappear at once

hexed frost
#

Imagine seeing a 21M mob just...disappear

#

Oh god wish they nerf sub so I can come back to assa

broken chasm
haughty flicker
#

yes

#

they hotfixed in a quest at catalyst to give you a second fragment this week

broken chasm
#

thanks bro, I just noticed it now

#

the best option would be to recraft wrists?

golden loom
#

depends on what you have usually

#

just pick the lowest ilvl slot you have out of boots/cape/writs/belt and do that imo

#

I made belt personally cause I have decent pieces in the other slots

one of the question whispyr likes the most to be asked is : do we just spam ct or only to refresh the bleed?

surely adds dont stay alive long enough for ct

golden loom
#

Who cares about that

#

You CT for boss dam

haughty flicker

i wouldnt think that would be worth enough to warrant going all the way to ct

but maybe

Very nice

haughty flicker
#

if you're good yeah

#

also if you're in a group where you know the route and the tank

#

in pugs i think sin still speeds up a key more because you can do good damage every pack

#

the boss damage is a big downside though for sure

balmy condor
#

Like 8 targets, equal

#

5 targets, like 3-4% worse

static glacier
#

Ok

static glacier
#

Casual would be an example

#

I meant the string to show prio dmg

#

@balmy condor

#

Sorry for responding to multiple messages in a disorganised way

balmy condor
#

There is no string to show prio damage

balmy condor
#

It does that automatically when you sim aoe

rotund oak
#

im curious for an answer though from casualdaddy

#

whats the mindset behind it

static glacier
#

He says sin more aoe sub more st when asked

rotund oak
#

yup that much we kinda know already,gonna poke him myself later on

rotund oak

realistically speaking how good is assa and sub 4 set?

dose it have to be boots for the crafted piece? or can i craft it on other pieces?

#

@balmy condor been using your plater profile for a while (love it thx PeepoLove) and would like to edit it/use it as a base for some other specs I play, but I can't find what makes ct give red border to enemies, can u help pls scuffed

golden loom

I'm waiting for vault before I send my second craft, cos the second I make boots then my entire vault is gonna resemble a god-damn shoe shop

#

One thing I've seen, your vanish usage doesn't seem to be correct?

cerulean maple
#

is there any talent build that makes it even remotely worth using vicious venoms? I ask because i have like 2.5x more mastery than anything else and i wanna sim if i can capitalize on that somehow with more nature damage

red schooner
#

You're vanishing very shortly after casting deathmark, you want to be vanishing when KB has 6 seconds left in the deathmark window

velvet temple
# balmy condor Recolor mod

ok another question, do I have to edit the code in the nameplate updated section to add debuffs that cause red borders?

red schooner

In order to sync up master assassin with the tail end of kingsbane

Crafted it yesterday

cerulean maple
# coral ibex you can just sim builds and find out yourself

yeah but nothing seems super worth dropping for it at a glance so i figured i'd ask in case someone else has cooked. dropping imp gar + ma for it would be a pointless endeavor, and the only other thing i can think of is dropping dashing scoundrel, but i fear that it'd cause more enoujgh energy starvation in combination w the increased energy usage from vv that it's not worth that wouldnt work nvm

#

but ig i should just sim some things

golden loom
cerulean maple
#

yeahhh

humble verge
#

what pieces is it that gives the most stat from upgrading

#

is it chest legs and shoulders?

haughty flicker
#

ring/neck gives more secondary

#

but no agi

golden loom
#

MH/trinket/chest leg shoulders? Idk maybe trinket is overrated?

humble verge
#

trinket is not there

#

that i know of

cerulean maple
#

could always sim it

humble verge
#

im just thinking if i should max my legs or not

#

with crests

golden loom
#

Like in my mind trinket didnt make sense but saw someone say its up there

humble verge
#

found it on wowpedia

narrow osprey
#

maybe this has been talked about, but is the new tier set supposed to be worse than our old one? i'm simming and it doesn't improve any dps

golden loom
#

Need someone smarter to give input than me tho idk

humble verge
#

im still running it at 655

cerulean maple
golden loom

wait holy shit 2p is worth keeping over 4p??

#

nevermind i ate my words quick

royal lantern
golden loom
#

2p + 2p is very good

royal lantern
#

somebody smarter can correct me if im wrong

cerulean maple
#

yeah 2p+2p sims as a 5% upgrade over old 2p onlywhich is kinda crazy

royal lantern
lavish geyser
#

how is rookery for assa? feel like last boss just screams sub. or is it still fine?

haughty flicker
#

i mean you do no damage on last boss but last boss also does nothing so

#

maybe in high keys you feel bad

royal lantern
#

i cried with the resto shaman

fleet pagoda

#

what ilvl range would you guys recommend having for starting +9-10 range keys (in terms of overall survivability and damage)

#

im 653 now but kinda scared of 9's ngl lol

#

idk, did +9-10keys with full S1 items

first mistake

your hardest issue will be getting into pugs

#

not doing the key itself

made it easy to go to new 4p at least

cerulean maple
#

thats one way to see it LMAO

Is it just me or is rupture not applying to nearby targets on the initial cast from stealth?

do you guys find bleed to still be better in +10s?

i find my single target struggling too much at that level

Swapping as assa is banned

dawn seal
#

yeah

#

lmao

#

I AM LOSING IT

#

HAHAHA

golden loom
#

U can kick and send some ruptures maybe but never hardswap

proper plover
#

its okay to recraft this season bracers for second embelishment?

austere basin
#

ive been looking into the the Raid single target spec wowhead recommends, but i dont understand why arterial precision is used for single target. the 30% bleed dmg increase is nice but im not sure if taking scent of blood is better. i would think that 20% more agility is better over the 30% bleed dmg

spice sentinel
#

You arent getting 20% agi from scent in st

golden loom
dawn seal
#

my tank just told me to

haughty flicker
#

you'd be getting 2% agi

golden loom
#

You need 5 ruptured targets for 20%

dawn seal
#

maybe swap to adds

haughty flicker
#

vs 30% damage on bleeds

dawn seal
#

when I asked ihm to can u move the boss to adds

austere basin
#

ahh okey that makes sence ty ty

dawn seal
#

x)))

austere basin
#

so for cleave it may be worth it then

undone flame
golden loom
#

Nah you never run scent in raid

#

Cause you dont have a efficent way of spreading ruptures in raid

#

Also you are a burst spec, arterial = more burst during burst

haughty flicker
#

you'd be spending multiple gcds sending ruptures for a small amount of agi on adds that wont be alive for long enough to benefit it

austere basin
#

okey that makes sence

runic hinge
#

Also shiv covering your dm means 30% more bleed damage on 4 bleeds

thorn thorn
#

Imagine if Scent of Blood gave 20% agi in ST terri_gato

spice surge
#

It should give an extra stack during DM sitmadge

#

But it doesnt

broken sandal
#

Are we expecting tuning of the tier set, or do we think its a live with it until we start getting myth track / higher hero track?

#

seems atrocious to hang onto 2+2 until 665 across the board

vapid terrace
thorn thorn
spice surge
#

No

#

Not for ST

gray sierra
#

could anyone tell me whet my second embelishment should be if i have Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension but also want to play sub? do i just go with Writhing Armor Banding or do i get subs best which is Elemental Focusing Lens?

spice surge
#

But i just feel like it should

#

Because it says to double your bleeds, yet you dont get double the benefit from scent

spice surge
#

Its not like sub is unplayable because you have ascension and sim 0.15% lower

gray sierra
#

great thanks

pure osprey
#

are there bars on your door?

woude you use house of cards on cd or wait til burst

macro to dm

buoyant herald
#

Bleed build for m+ likes early 4set though

runic hinge
#

unless your gear was bad still last patch and 4 set is an upgrade at 1/6 hero

buoyant herald
#

True, I’m assuming mythic s1 tier

humble verge
#

really thinking about it

buoyant herald
#

i mean

#

it's myth track, its one of the well-statted pieces, what's the problem

#

those crests will never be wasted

fleet pagoda
#

what's it contending with? craft?

buoyant herald
#

i guess you could make the argument that a 675 dagger craft (if you don't already have 675+) is a better choice

#

but given he's got 120 crests, im gonna assume those first 60 went on the dagger

cerulean maple
#

what fight duration do yall sim yourselves for

buoyant herald
#

default is 5min which is kinda fine if you were to only pick one

#

otherwise just look at your logs and how fast your guild is killing specific bosses

#

simming per specific boss is pretty sweaty though

cerulean maple
#

yeah i was mostly just patching my patchwerk settings to be as close to our average boss killt imers

buoyant herald
#

they vary though right

cerulean maple
#

i mean sure but like usually its between 6-8min bc the rest of our guild is chronic grey parsers (i love them all)

#

so i usually just have my patchwerk on 6 to be on the higher end of things w 2nd tempered pot rotation

buoyant herald
#

vexie and cauldron are both under 4m for example, which is one less big CD set

cerulean maple
#

that is true

#

but like how comparable are parses vs sim anyway

buoyant herald
#

mugzee is like 5-6

cerulean maple
buoyant herald
#

thats actually impressive in a way

cerulean maple
#

to still have enopugh damage during execute phase?

#

yeah

#

kinda tbh

#

let me check logs to see if im talking out of my ass

buoyant herald
#

ours was 5.50

dawn seal
#

question guys

buoyant herald
#

but next week when everyone is 5+ ilvls higher

#

it'll be closer to 5-5.30 right

dawn seal
#

after what % on a log u think its not a skill issue but a gear issue

buoyant herald
#

99

dawn seal
#

😭

cerulean maple
buoyant herald
cerulean maple
#

whuh

buoyant herald
#

the worst possible statting is still 91.6% of the optimal

#

oh sorry by "gear" issue i assumed you meant like...bad stats

#

lower ilvl is a much larger effect

cerulean maple
# buoyant herald 99

I was kinda under the impression that most super high logs (say, 99th percentile) after a few weeks into a season are also people doing specific stuff to parse higher

buoyant herald
#

i don't think there's a tonne of parse-hounding this early but probably

cerulean maple
#

i have some 96-99%s but ive also had runs where it seems like decent conditions for a good parse to me (mostly flawless gameplay, good boss kill timer, maybe got some PIs) and i still only sit at like 94%

#

ilvl obviously but still w like 4-5k parses in that bracket

#

(referring to s1 mythic not current)

buoyant herald
#

if S1 then definitely some parsing behaviour ahead of you

#

but also rng

#

we actually had one of our hunters get like #2 MM parse on Stix this week or something

cerulean maple
#

overall or bracket?

buoyant herald
#

class

cerulean maple
#

either way craysee

buoyant herald
#

yeah but

#

he was fighting the tank on boss damage

#

just absolute padlording on hyenas

cerulean maple
#

oof lmao

#

the Paddening

buoyant herald
#

overall i think it was

#

i dunno didn't look into it that much

#

but we were all like WOAH
