i lost dps

#

lmao

💀

#

unlucky

#

4p seems to sim higher on aoe but lower on st

#

should we be tracking our 4piece at all?

tawdry halo
#

No need to play around tier set

dawn heath
#

shouldnt we want to slam our finishers during this proc window?

#

its only 4 seconds

cerulean burrow
#

question... when we are doing 2 target cleave do we use fan of knives as our main builder? or is it mutilate on naything 2 targets or less or .... what is it ? im talking abotu a cleave fight like rik reverb

#

like how many targets do we start using fan of knives instead of mutilate as the main builder?

dawn heath
#

its fan on 2 targets but if you low roll crits like me u may wanna mutilate

cerulean burrow
#

ok

dawn heath
#

the amount of times i hit FOK and get 1 cp

cerulean burrow
#

well

dawn heath
#

but u obv wanna keep spatter up

cerulean burrow
#

it spreads poison too so

#

and obvi i know we need to apply costic spatter with mutilate

#

but yes i think you answered my question

Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime

Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

I noticed that wowhead tells us to craft dagger and boots, is there any reason why boots specifically?

balmy condor

Nop

That’s just how it shook out

Craft wrists or boots or belt or whatever

when choosing gems for the equipment, would it be better to focus mastery or crit? if i have more mastery would it be better in higher keys?

Doesn’t matter

Use crit/mast, mast/crit, the crit blasphemite with 3 colors, with 4 colors

it all ends up being basically the same

hey guys

#

any idea why after 3 days of a full run of Normal raid

#

it still shows 1/8N in warcraftlogs

#

and no parses or anything

tawdry halo
#

Are the logs public?

#

Have they been uploaded?

brave comet
#

i had 3 groups fail the first boss in mechagon back to back to back

#

i cant believe that this is something thats happening

thorn thorn
#

It should be pretty believable

#

What key level

brave comet
#

10

#

is this boss supposed to be hard?

spice spire
#

No.

haughty flicker
#

hardest part of that boss is dodging the tankbuster my pug tanks run around with all the time

spice spire
#

You just bring the tank buster to a hammer when they have plates

#

So you shouldn’t move a ton

haughty flicker
#

yes

#

but so many pug tanks love to move around randomly

#

gotta watch them like its a 3rd boss

tawdry halo
#

One of our raid tanks is a monk

haughty flicker
#

not a hard fight dont get me wrong

#

but sometimes pug tanks make it harder than it needs to be lmao

I just got kicked from a heroic bandit pug for not switching to adds. I tried to explain that sin likes to cleave from boss but they kicked me anyway. Was I in the wrong? I was top 3-5 dps every pull so it wasn't an overall dps problem.

tawdry halo
#

You're not wrong, but random pug RLs are extremely unlikely to give a shit

rustic coyote
#

fair enough lol

haughty flicker
#

in a pug you just follow the monkeys and hope it works

#

Also 90% of the wipes were from people letting their fixate hit them so idk why they thought I was the problem lol

#

Anyone have a good plater profile that only shows rogue specific debuffs on the target and turns the plate of your caustic spatter target green? Do any of the ones that come up from wa command provide this?

I had been using one from shivz but I don’t think he’s updated it for season 2

#

Yeah thankfully I'm in a cool guild now so i don't have to pug much anymore

tawdry halo
#

I think pug RLs are people who are too dumb / socially inept to be in a guild or the guild RL

#

which is why the experience is so awful

#

and the standard for guild RLs is like 0.5cm above the ground

haughty flicker
#

tbf most of the time i dont have issues in raid pugs

#

its just when you do have issues its very noticable

thorn thorn
tawdry halo
#

everyone already knows their role

thorn thorn
#

My favorite was in aberrus I had a pug RL inviting Augs and refused to kick them because we "just dont understand how to read their damage contribution" (we did, and they were terrible)

tawdry halo
thorn thorn
#

I knew anyway

#

Im an aug player, takes one to know one dracthyr_dum

spice spire
#

Well I mean early on it wasn’t fully implemented but you could also tell

thorn thorn

And they did

#

cuz they were trash

Im a shitposter do you really expect me to play a real spec

anybody else wish vault day was monday?

fallen fern
#

i've been playing sub but the rotation irritates me. is it worth to switch to assassin? how's it performing?

tawdry halo
#

Assassin good in raid

#

Assassin also good in M+, with high AOE damage but low ST compared to sub

#

to be honest though, the spec philosophy is relatively similar - you do big dam during major CDs, and have slower patches outside of these CDs (though the peaks and troughs are much less extreme than sub)

fallen fern
#

that's what i was thinking, out of cooldowns as sub i hit like a limp noodle. it seems ass would at least keep a little consistent damage tho. no?

tawdry halo
#

yes

#

just try it out

fallen fern
#

i tried it in raid, because i was lacking crit and was not well versed in the rotation my damage was much lower but the rotation felt alot smoother

spice spire
tawdry halo
#

keep trying

#

if you like it the gear will come, and you'll get better as long as you try

runic hinge
#

Are the barrels on Richard Reverberations gripable

buoyant herald
#

Rotation is a lot smoother id say, I like to play sub when we start a new boss so im at the top, then assass as we get close to a kill so my execute takes me to the top, that way your guild will think you’re a pumper 👌

tawdry halo
#

Your guild thinks you're a pumper because you optimise
My guild thinks I'm a pumper because they're all bad at the game
we are not the same

Also some people just arent interested in mythic raiding

oh man

I hope you're not the other rogue in my guild

runic hinge
#

lol I’m on NA

#

My guild has good people but some are just along for the ride. And it’s fine. I think they’re all pretty cool and it’s fun seeing my name at the top of details on every boss

tawdry halo
#

Yeah same here

#

They're not too sweaty, and despite my heavy presence here in the middle of a work day, I have other things to do outside of WOW most nights

thorn thorn
#

The real endgame is finding a vibe guild to enjoy the game with and vibe FeelsGoodEnoughMan

#

I decided pretty early on Mythic raiding wasnt for me so now I just bum around casual guilds and enjoy the chaos that comes with it garf_sit

I worked out early not to become an officer in these guilds

#

should i play my rogue or maplestory this tier?

tawdry halo
#

too much drama

thorn thorn
#

I used to raid lead in Amirdrassil and decided quickly I would never do that again

tawdry halo
#

I last raid led in Antorus / Uldir

#

came to the same conclusion kekdog

thorn thorn
#

It was late aberrus to early amirdrassil

tawdry halo
#

Now i just say RLs are idiots and call it a day

thorn thorn
#

Fyrakk was the primary reason tho

#

I wanted to die unironically

balmy condor
#

raiding with sweats isn't fun

thorn thorn
#

Wrangling a group of casuals through heroic fyrakk is an experience dracthyr_hehe

what if we're sweating because its really warm out and our A/C isn't working

oh no

He is a chill guy at least

Surely this guy was dead the whole fight?

thorn thorn
#

Im like 90% sure he does bad cuz he is baked out of this world

tawdry halo
#

or missing any tier?

#

any no trinkets?

tawdry halo

and his lowest ilvl item is his MH dagger for some reason?

No to all of the above

balmy condor

me play sub

#

sub cooldown class

#

cooldown on cooldown

thorn thorn
#

He was playing Sin

tawdry halo
balmy condor
#

okay well

#

idk how you can fuck that up

thorn thorn
#

But he decided to swap to sub because it "was doing better" than sin

cerulean burrow
thorn thorn
#

Trust me his sin play wasnt any better

tawdry halo
thorn thorn
#

They wanted to do mythic so I told RL that if any dps were noticably below me (aug) they need bench or rehab garf_sit

tawdry halo
#

so just do your CDs properly, and keep your bleeds up, and you're like 90% there

thorn thorn
#

Probably both

tawdry halo
#

This season?

#

or last?

thorn thorn
#

This season

#

After aug was nerfed hard enough to do tank adjacent dam

tawdry halo
#

Yeah

thorn thorn
#

Best part is im beating 2 or 3 dps on average

tawdry halo
#

Turns out, some people just play the game for fun

#

and for them, being good at the game =/= having fun playing the game

#

worst combo though is

#

super bad at the game

#

and super toxic when you're progging slowly

thorn thorn
#

Oh I just dont have time for those people

tawdry halo
#

nah neither - I gquit if I see one

thorn thorn
#

I dont gquit unless its GM or officer

#

But I dont have an issue speaking out and being the bad guy to make shitty people gquit

it's the macro you're supposed to use for tea

thorn thorn
cerulean burrow
#

hmm okay

#

ill have to use it

tawdry halo
#

and doesn't accidentally use tea twice if you spam press it a couple of times

cerulean burrow
#

i dont fully understand but ill have to try it

cerulean walrus
#

Basically you

balmy condor
#

it casts tea and shiv together

cerulean walrus
#

Shivvy shiv

balmy condor
#

and that's good

cerulean walrus
#

And then sippy sippy

balmy condor
#

and you want to do that

cerulean burrow
#

okay

cerulean walrus
#

At the same time

cerulean burrow
#

i didnt know tea and shiv should always be used together

cerulean walrus
#

Shiv and sip

#

Sippy sippy

cerulean burrow

so thats good to know

It was just garbage at the game

#

I run with an ele shaman who's in a similar position to me

#

we literally pull around his ascendance CD

#

I just dont understand what I'm seeing there

cerulean burrow
#

ah i see if we use them on cd then eventually we end up getting a shiv by its self without tea

#

then it will line back up again perfectly after

balmy condor
#

what

cerulean burrow
#

i noticed iff i use tea and shiv

#

in opener

#

they both line up again

balmy condor
#

well yeah, kingsbane and tea are both 1 min cooldowns

tawdry halo
#

you can literally unbind tea

#

and forget it exists

#

just use that macro

attempting to make assa work for Rik Reverb, feels like i dont have alot of add damage here, raidleader asked for more but just not sure if i should just bite the bullet and do sub?

tawdry halo
#

tell your RL that you are king of boss damage

balmy condor
#

more caustic

celest helm
#

is it worth tabbing the adds for like ruptures? or just pump into KBs on boss

thorn thorn
#

During ascendance windows in aoe he was capping at 1.2m terri_gato

balmy condor
#

adds die too quick probably

celest helm
#

i know theres a haste buff but that doesnt really seem worth for us

runic hinge
#

Can you grip in the barrels

tawdry halo
#

but you should try to explain to your RL that switching off the boss is an overall DPS loss when the adds die so quickly

#

(Challenge: impossible)

haughty flicker
#

just swap for a couple of pulls, link details showing you doing bottom add damage bc you swapped, then go back to hitting boss

cerulean burrow
#

so.... at that very first shiv in the cooldown sequence do I use the shiv thistle tea macro ? or do i just use shiv at the beginning and then use the thistle tea shiv macro at that second part ?

balmy condor
#

you use the macro

#

always macro

cerulean burrow
#

okay

only trinket ive gotten to drop this season so far

tbh if thats all you've seen that's kinda nuts

#

do more delves

#

trinkets rain from the ceiling

quaint spindle
#

not a bad idea; T8 i assume

buoyant herald
#

yeah, you can do 4 bountiful delves a week so thats 4 chances at a champ track, 1 chance at a hero from using the map, and however many more rng warbound drops which can ALSO be trinkets, those are only vet track tho i think?

they definitely use it to tune

instead of looking at the game that they develop

#

and using that to tune

rain sorrel
#

In terms of doing more damage through damage over time, Does feral or Assa take the cake?

strange python
#

Same same but different

#

If you enjoy assa apm outside cds permanently feral is your choice

rain sorrel
#

I havent tried out assa yet so im unsure of the apm requirements haha

Basically I really enjoy DoTs, but also really like high mobility. Mainly a battleground player

Thinking of trying Feral because of both mentioned

Outlaw because the fantasy seems fun and pewpew

then assa is kind of a wild card mystery to me, dont know much about it

tight sparrow
#

Assa is great, but i am sure on the feral Druid discord they will tell you that feral ist great haha

rain sorrel
#

Yea I feel like across most games you wont find mains saying their char is op lmao

#

If you had to say what melee would be best at zooming around quickly in a battleground without being useless?

tight sparrow
#

Assa is great, and you need at least 1 for the Raid buff in Raids

#

No clue about pvp though sorry 😄

rain sorrel
#

thats fair haha

rain sorrel
#

Yea same when something I play is actually busted lol

royal lantern
#

and feral actually is kinda good rn

biggest problem is that boomkin is really good aswell

rain sorrel
#

understandable, honestly I think what im looking for is just a class that can zip around a battleground really fast and not be useless

#

I think the idea of having giga movement sounds really fun

royal lantern
#

rogue is not really GIGA movement tbh

#
  • most people here dont touch PvP tbh
rain sorrel
#

It kinda seemed like outlaw had quite a bit, but i dont really know how it compares in reality with other classes,
and yea understandable, pvp is usually not a super popular thing

runic hinge
#

Outlaw has a ton of mobility

#

DH might be what you’re looking for as well

rain sorrel
#

Oo i didnt think much about DH, i'll level one of those as well

#

Alrighty, my list for this week is Feral, Outlaw, and DH.
Ty for the suggestions 🙂

royal lantern
#

stuff like DH/Monk/Mage dont have that "restriction" and other movment tech stuff

runic hinge
#

Fatebound outlaw can hook 4 times in a row

#

I run it as assa

well, its PvP, why not go full stupid i gues

For vexxie do we hold cds until plating breaks or full send

sharp viper
#

ideally your raid should be able to break 6 platins within 2 minutes

balmy condor
#

yeh depends if your raid is garbage but typically holding for the plates is worth it

#

can get off a kingsbane on pull

sharp viper
#

took my raid way over 2 minutes to break plates

tawdry halo

#

I think u hold unless u plan it cuz if they try to break it asap it will be like 1.30

#

people didn't deliver the oil and didn't clear the oil dracthyr_kek

balmy condor
#

yeah 1:30 sounds about right

dawn seal
#

But if tue raid plan is to break the boss at 2 min u can send it

buoyant herald
#

seen a few guides say wait until his energy is nearly full so all the 2min classes get cds back

tawdry halo
#

Hmm

#

Wonder if my RL has read those

#

Probably not

buoyant herald
#

probably depends on comp

balmy condor

I would be surprised to see how many guilds actually hold

I'm a French rogue player specializing in assassination (Rogbot - EU-Dalaran).
I've read and watched every possible guide on rogue to try to improve my DPS. I think I'm following the DPS cycle fairly well. Sometimes I don't refresh my garrotes and ruptures at the right time or cast an envenom when I should have applied my bleeds, but this is becoming increasingly rare.
I'm the only rogue in my raid group. However, I've played with other rogues, like last night, and every time, my DPS is really low compared to them.
I compared the logs from last night's try on Stix and I don't understand the difference between me and the other rogue.
All my attacks seem less powerful, yet I didn't feel like I had low gear. For example:
I cast 44 Envenoms for 237K damage, he casts 45 for 401K. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Here is the link of the logs
Other rogue : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/QyfVhnGTkF19qtYP?fight=15&type=damage-done&source=132
Me : https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/QyfVhnGTkF19qtYP?fight=15&type=damage-done&source=2

Can anyone help me improve?

omg another french

warm lantern
#

stix must be the worst boss to compare at

subtle tundra
#

he can still play badly

buoyant herald
#

not a bad aotc kill 😄

grim jay
#

the real last boss is finding decent healers in m+

warm vortex
#

Maybe the decent healers were the friends we made along the way

grim jay
#

they are all offline

warm vortex
#

Also

#

I thought the madness at un'goro event would be cool but it's literally just some world buffs???

subtle tundra

Yooo bros, anyone knows why my sim is worse with 4p then it is with 2+2p? I can't understand it fr

subtle tundra
#

cause its less damage

tawny geyser
coarse sedge
#

Damn is the 4p so shit lol

worn sorrel
royal lantern
#

4p kinda bad, old 2p is good

subtle tundra
tawny geyser
royal lantern

#

I mean at some point we will all be wearing 4p its just the ilvl difference atm

worn sorrel
#

The opener for aoe in m+ is:

ambush garrote garrote rupture rupture fan CT then burst in single target with caustic?

tawny geyser
#

You want to mutilate first before CT to get caustic going

#

Depends on the situation

worn sorrel
#

In general caustic is more important than CT?

subtle tundra
#

you wanna mutilate before you start envenoming

#

not CT

tawny geyser
#

Caustic is my highest, so I believe yes.
Currently I’m doing around 3.5 mil overall in Meadery for example and Caustic is above all else.

subtle tundra
#

caustic does nothing if you dont envenom/kb bud

tawny geyser
#

Exactly

subtle tundra
#

yeah?

#

and you said mutilate before CT

#

whats your logic then

#

you mutilate when you wanna start envenoming

worn sorrel
#

Also, how do you play around the hero talent? It seems a bit confusing

#

You just ambush and let it there? Anything else to do? (apart from max cp envenom later on)

blazing pumice
#

get frustrated when it falls off

worn sorrel
#

Like enemy dies before you get your 3 stacks out?

blazing pumice
#

the 3 stacks don't matter

#

and no, i mean like stuff eats your dm

#

like the first boss of top

red schooner
#

I'll just send a DN envenom on this dude.... Aaaaand it's gone

worn sorrel
#

how does that happen? huh

blazing pumice
#

usually it is when a mob despawns rather than dies

subtle tundra
#

games bugged

#

and shite

#

and blizzard doesnt care

#

and they only care about releasing content

worn sorrel
#

i see yeah

#

Monk has a bug that cancells your whole hero talent too, not fun

subtle tundra
#

hey not just the talent

#

all channels

#

and it has to re-press the COC otherwise they might not get the buff after it

#

games great

worn sorrel
#

yep

subtle tundra
#

but they will release another 70 euro mount pack

red schooner
#

They must have made a killing on those, half my guild bought one

grim jay
#

they are full on m+ andys

#

no work

@balmy condor I'm using your plater and im noticing that inside the raid the nameplates change position oddly, they go very high up from the mob, is this something in my end or intentional

keep that shit up, you blastin

willow falcon

was a 98 before it locked in lmao didnt expect it to be that high of a rank tbh but i guess it's only 200 sin parses on this boss so far

i'll take trash panda seal of approval any day of the week thanks

brazen cypress
#

is it bad i hate how assassination feels in aoe lmao

grim jay
#

well you just dont like the spec then

#

nothing crazy

brazen cypress
#

single target + cleave feels so satisfying though :[

acoustic roost
#

I dunno, with IC spreading garrotes w/silences, ruptures and CT then slamming Spatter envenoms is pretty satisfying to me peeposhrug

brazen cypress
#

maybe its just too low of keys?

red schooner
#

Because if it's low keys, try the bleed build out

brazen cypress
#

tried a +5

red schooner
#

And watch as sudden demise just pops half of your mobs

brazen cypress
#

felt like everything was dying before i could get everything going

red schooner
pliant flame
#

Yeah! The higher the key level the more valuable you become I feel! If you keep your bleeds up and combine a vanish or shadowmeld i hit far more than 10mill dps on certain packs ´, thats satisfying.

If the mobs stay alive for a bit the true potential show, Low keys, before anything really ticks, the mobs are dead

dapper halo
#

im afraid of tuning hotfixes

strange sleet
#

Bleed build is OP as fuck in low keys

#

specially this week being fortified

#

Will suck more in Tyranical because ST dps is horrible

#

but rn is rly good

pure moth
#

What lvl would you stop using bleed

strange sleet
#

Depends on your party tbh

#

13s

golden loom
#

what do you mean by this week being fortified? I thought both are always active at a certain key level

compact flame
#

!guide

strange sleet
#

Isn't it +10 or something?

#

maybe even 12?

golden loom
#

yeah but its not a weekly thing

#

its just always

hidden torrent
#

pretty sure it's 10

strange sleet
#

He mentioned a +5

hidden torrent
#

if my man is in a 5, just play what you enjoy

strange sleet
#

He will not enjoy kingsbane in a +5

he stood in the spear on the first boss

nova aspen
#

up to that point it was basically a perfect run

dapper cradle
#

I call it the LatAm Gambit

nova aspen
#

i mean we even had a brez available

dapper cradle
#

Ragnaros JAJA tank joins your key

nova aspen
#

my jumper cables went off the same time he left

dapper cradle
#

Folds on first tank buster

#

And goes offline

#

Brilliant move

#

You're either getting a giga rank 1 tank

#

Or an absolute troglodyte mouth breather

#

when you invite latam tanks

#

idk man there's literally no in between

nova aspen
#

yea its rough out there

#

makes me want to play vdh

#

shit looks fun

#

waiting for the next round of tuning to come in before i start gearing my first alt

#

first and only alt*

warm vortex
#

Tbh i need 2 more to get all 3 10 slots but im so unhappy after that happened

#

I need to get some jumper cables though

timid bramble
#

Like even when someone forgets to log - theres still shows that the boss was killed.

strange sleet
quiet junco
#

Im the only rogue in my guild an they were complaining that my damage was low on the bomb crabs in the raid (stix)...the territorial bombshell . Is that acceptable as sin...or am I wrong.

red schooner
quiet junco
#

Yes. Im aware. They want me to focus them. I usually spread my rup then bounce back to boss which usually has 1 or 2 in range.

strange sleet
#

Ye basically. And even tho it is not as OP as with SP, if you can cleave of the bombs since they receive amp dmg is better for spatter

#

not worth if you are gonna lose other shit

#

or no mobs around it

red schooner
strange sleet
#

but if you get a nice chance it's worht

golden loom
#

idk I just cast a ct on the closest bombshell and then just hit boss

red schooner
#

May help, more add damage without sacrificing too much in relation to boss damage

golden loom
#

its not a sacrifice

#

you are gaining boss damage with ct

red schooner
#

I thought it'd be a slight loss pure ST due to losing master assassin, wasn't sure how much the CT would counteract that

#

Either way, big CT damage on adds, good

warm vortex
#

Tbh

#

I miss being able to just

#

change 1 choice node and then cleave

golden loom
#

you miss our current talents? monkahmm

warm vortex
#

I'm not playing assassination

#

That's what i mean X)

#

I miss spatter

#

which is something i never thought i'd say

red schooner
quiet junco
#

Im running the wowhead one for that boss atm since it's new content I haven't gone off the beaten path yet still figuring bosses an what not out

timid bramble
#

the solution is make Caustic Spatter same range as Starfall 😄

royal lantern
#

no, make starfall the same range as spatter

static glacier
#

but it wouldn't make thematic sense so gg enjoy target hitbox based aoe

coral ibex
#

it was recently patched to work kinda like that tho

#

unless i misunderstood the graphics in the pins

dapper halo
#

should i craft another dagger, or an amulet with best stats thonk

spice spire
dapper halo
#

i think another dagger would be more cashmoney

spice spire
#

Offhand is not a big deal

#

In fact it’s the lowest prio thing

#

While Mainhand is +++

dapper halo
#

well, i had to skimp and go for 658 since i didnt have at the time access to gilded crests

spice spire
#

Then you upgrade to 675 dagger

#

And craft something else

#

You don’t waste two sparks on daggers

spice spire
#

God bless

dapper halo
#

so just to check, im 99.99% sure of the answer, upgrading does not consume another spark, yes?

viscid spear
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
dapper halo
#

i have to be absolutely sure, this ui makes me think it does

brazen cypress
#

it does not

static glacier
dapper halo
#

excellent

static glacier
#

its just less cringe for massive hitbox bosses

#

think about it like this, I don't want to be the guy saying move the boss closer onto the adds so I can aoe them

#

it places the agency for our aoe on the tank, not on us

#

and idk about you but I dislike anything that takes agency for my spells and damage away from me and gives it to other people

#

no matter what you do if the mob isnt in range of the boss hitbox you are just not going to be able to spatter it

#

in the circle above if our hitbox was purely the blue circle that would be ideal since that's basically blade flurry

grave osprey
#

ST assa buffs when?! 🤔👀

static glacier
#

bro we're not mages chill

dapper halo
#

im very afraid of blizzs nerf bat

#

considering the graphs

static glacier
#

I wouldn't expect nerfs to anything but aoe tbh

dapper halo
#

the aoerupture is stronk

static glacier
#

ct mainly tbh

timid bramble
#

in mythic raid we are #11

errant hawk
#

thanks for share your platers guys, you are the goats 🙏

royal lantern
#

its mainly that they buffed CT for some reason

#

and assa is not really a problematic spec rn

placid adder
#

Or uh

vestal cliff
#

i got mythic tset shoulders in vault, since i will use them the rest of the season is it worth it to upgrade them to 6/6 ?

static glacier
#

their aoe is bursty but they struggle if mobs start not being stacked

placid adder
#

You haven’t played with a good one than imo

static glacier
#

bro there is no good one

#

the spec is easy as shit

#

our guild's ret is like 3.1 now or something

placid adder
#

Just bc it’s easy

#

Doesn’t mean ppl can still play it

static glacier
#

the spec just isn't tuned that well atm

#

enh is better than ret for overall tbh

placid adder
#

Emp hammer does tons of dmg

static glacier
#

on average we should be winning overall

#

consider that with 5x the runs of other specs the best ret log for the 11-16 range is still lower

royal lantern
static glacier
#

if ret won overall our spec would litterally be dogshit pointless to play

#

ALL we do is aoe

#

unholy atleast has the caveat that it needs v large pulls

#

nvm our ret is 3.2

#

either way the spec is competitive, but it doesn't beat sin

grave osprey
#

Boomies are probably the best aoe atm

#

Up there with fire mage and maybe ele sham

static glacier
#

mass aoe topend is boomie, uh, ele sham with cds

#

fire too

#

destro

#

I want to say BM

grave osprey
#

So i would be baffled if assa AoE got nerfed

#

To any degree

static glacier
#

I think what might happen is they nerf ct and buff st in keys

#

we're back to pressing it in st in amp-less builds

grave osprey
#

I wouldnt mind that but aoe doesnt need a nerf unless they nerf fire, boomie, and ele sham subsequently

static glacier
#

what makes sin unique is our aoe isn't gated by cds like the other classes

royal lantern
#

ye

grave osprey
#

Because all of those specs crank in AoE AND St too

royal lantern
#

assa has strong consistent aoe

grave osprey
#

Facts

static glacier
#

we can do cd-level burst every single pull if allowed to restealth, failing that a vanish charge works

royal lantern
#

while most others need cds

static glacier
#

meanwhile our pure st besad

grave osprey
#

Very valid point.

spice surge
#

Boomy definitely does not crank on ST

royal lantern
#

like, the ele shaman will smoke you on pull 1

you "win" on pull 2-3

static glacier
#

its competitive witht sub, cd timers might have a part to play but I don't see sin coming close

grave osprey
#

Ct nerf + ST buff would be a good exchange then.

rotund oak
#

buff bleeds

placid adder
#

What are you buffing envenom?

rotund oak
#

more

placid adder
#

lol

static glacier
#

only simple way to buff pure st without it going into aoe

gritty laurel
#

buff envenom it's too weak, i only hit for 10mil+ occasionally

grave osprey
#

Buff deathmark and envenom hehe

static glacier
#

since we don't use VV bc of hero trees

rotund oak
static glacier
#

also mut hits like the wettest noodle

grave osprey
#

The wettest noodle in all the land

placid adder
#

Uncap kingsbane

rotund oak
#

aoe KB

#

coz why not

grave osprey
#

Like make kingsbane spread to muliple targets and get amped by caustic spatter and poison bombs? Naa that would kill bleed spec

static glacier
#

made us finally put pi out of the picture

#

disgusting spell

grave osprey
#

But i wanna be a PI slut 😌

static glacier
#

the amount of times i've heard uh say "I need pi to do damage"

#

you don't want to be him

#

trust me

mortal badger
#

noone wants pi here

static glacier
#

pi is a lose/lose

gritty laurel
#

i want other players in my raid to get pi so i can win anyway

spice surge
grave osprey
#

I get pi’d but when i do it’s outside of my cds

static glacier
#

with it you feel normal but it brings into question if your dmg is bc of your gameplay or pi, without it you feel shit and your class can end up being nerfed due to pi then you lose it and you're turbo-guttered for a tier

strange sleet
#

Also boomie is not even close to our prio dmg

static glacier
#

it's not in the same ballpark

grave osprey
#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#
  • Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it
  • Super Min-Max stuff includes avoiding the auto proc of tea (less than +0.2%, tea/shiv macro is optimal)
  • Refreshing Envenom in pandemic instead of spamming it (mostly relevant for m+ without TTK, can be up to 0.5%)
  • Otherwise nothing matters. Pooling before kingsbanes isn't important because of tea lining up and deathmark giving a huge surge of energy
static glacier
#

maybe even less considering 3:30 is awful timing for sin

grave osprey
#

Yeah i was thinking 1.15-1.3

static glacier
#

remember these guys are v geared

#

likely high 650s or 660

grave osprey
#

Point is assa ST is trash 🗑️ . Luckiely i feel like there arent TOO many st bosses this season. Except DFC 🙄

placid adder
#

You aren’t 658 yet?

grave osprey
#

Workshop too actually

grave osprey
strange sleet
#

yeah assa ST is trash, but you can also fix talent a little bit to have higher st

grave osprey
#

~660 on reset if lucky

strange sleet
#

like supercharger instead of subterfurge

#

it's around 10% ahead in ST

#

while still nice aoe

#

and prio dmg

static glacier
#

but then you brick ur aoe

grave osprey
#

Im barely doing 10s atm so my lack of ST hasnt felt like a massive crutch yet

strange sleet
#

nono

#

no

#

still strong aoe

#

take Sudden Demise instead of MA

#

just crimson

static glacier
#

homie I know what you're saying

#

its the shit casual plays

strange sleet
#

is around 5% less overall

#

compared to classic hybrid

strange sleet
static glacier
static glacier
#

stop winning at it

#

to try and be mediocre st

#

:l

strange sleet
#

but you don't stop winning

#

is still strong

static glacier
#

bro im fairly sure casual doesn't win overall

#

with his build

#

not watched it so might be wrong

#

but thats my hunch

#

tbh with you sub is the better spec for actually timing keys

strange sleet
#

well I just tuned into his stream

static glacier
#

leme tune in

strange sleet
#

he is polaying assa and winning

grave osprey
#

He streaming rn?

static glacier
#

ye

dapper halo
#

who is this he

#

any dungeons you guys find most difficult for your dps?

grave osprey
#

static glacier
#

was using ct in st

grave osprey
#

But that dungeon has an extremely lenient timer

static glacier
pastel cradle
static glacier
#

its not the scuffed forced induction build

#

@strange sleet

#

every time I see that build it's like 10-20% behind overall

strange sleet
#

bro no way

grave osprey
#

Hes running the build of the Gods!

strange sleet
#

is that one

static glacier
#

ye

#

he was playing bleed

strange sleet
#

he is not running double vanish

static glacier
#

just showed it

#

he is xd

strange sleet
#

oh he is, he changed to a +14

#

well he has doing +16 like a while ago

static glacier
#

ye was a floodgate

grave osprey
#

Hes using the bleed build in a 14?! Holy

static glacier
#

I think it probably depends on key

#

sin is quite good at funnel, pretty nice for 1st boss

#

on floodgate

strange sleet
#

yeah, but anyways. You don't brick your aoe with supercharger

#

is less, yes, but still strong

#

+9% dps in ST compared to classic hybrid build. Just simmed it

#

at least with my gear

static glacier
#

actually insane

#

that it's THAT much stronger

#

how long you simming

#

dungeon fights never go to 5m tbh

strange sleet
#

5 mins

grave osprey
#

Do 3?

strange sleet
#

I guess I could

static glacier
#

try it over 2/3m and without raid buffs perhaps

strange sleet
#

no raid buffs

static glacier
#

im still impressed it's that strong

grave osprey
#

I thought you were being sarcastic lol

static glacier
#

nah

spice spire
#

9/10% is a big deal

static glacier
#

was expecting like 3-4%

spice spire
#

Same

static glacier
#

which is still notable but a trade off

grave osprey
#

5% less overall for a 10% ST gain might be a good trade off

static glacier
#

question is how does that stack up vs sub / OL

#

I suspect its normally just better to switch spec

#

or make ur tank drag mobs onto bosses so you can funnel opener

vale shore
#

anyone else have 3 piece and having droptimizer sims say 4 piece is a down grade?

grave osprey
#

Assuming youre doing 1.2m ST you’re now doing 1.32m. Probably better to swap specs

vale shore
#

alas, poor Renzik

vale shore
#

yes

spice spire
#

Yeah this is covered in the pins the

vale shore
#

so its not an upgrade until ALL the tier pieces are 662ish?

spice spire
#

You need high level 4 piece

vale shore
#

gross

spice spire
static glacier
warm vortex
#

Just checking

spice spire
#

Some lad had 658ish

warm vortex
#

Convincingly realistic jumper cables are the ones we use this expac right

vale shore
#

which is why it's puzzling he didn't get voiced lines when everyone around him did

#

I did like the tier 2 alternate chest piece transmog he left us though

strange sleet
# static glacier was expecting like 3-4%

Ok so I fucked my other sim, my apologies. It's not 10% over regular hybrid; is 10% over bleed build. 5% over hybrid in 5mins and just 2% in 3 min fight, with my current gear.

So probably not really worth forst most peopple. AoE is still competitive tho, but ofc lower.
