lmao
💀
unlucky
4p seems to sim higher on aoe but lower on st
should we be tracking our 4piece at all?
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?
its fan on 2 targets but if you low roll crits like me u may wanna mutilate
ok
the amount of times i hit FOK and get 1 cp
well
but u obv wanna keep spatter up
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

Sim saying to run ascendance on weapon and elemental focusing on neck lol
Pretty sure you only fan on 2 targets if you have CT talented
So when playing MA on rick for example you wouldnt fan on 2
!craft
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
Its specifically when imp fan of knives is talented
I noticed that wowhead tells us to craft dagger and boots, is there any reason why boots specifically?
Nop
That’s just how it shook out
Craft wrists or boots or belt or whatever
YOLO
thank whispyr, you´re the best!
Np

nice now you can trade me the next one
im trying man 😦
just open your vault lmao
ok
log on and we can do
a dunjon

Hoc tuah, pri on that ry

Whispyr I’m going to say a slur

Gamer words on main???
Whispyr been waiting for tuning for too long
cant wait for the firemage nerfs that will simultaneously see arcane/frost buffed by like 10% or some shit
why sharping stones over mana oil
Fuck the monk nerfs where are my mage nerfs
Does more damage
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
i had 3 groups fail the first boss in mechagon back to back to back
i cant believe that this is something thats happening
No.
hardest part of that boss is dodging the tankbuster my pug tanks run around with all the time
You just bring the tank buster to a hammer when they have plates
So you shouldn’t move a ton
yes
but so many pug tanks love to move around randomly
gotta watch them like its a 3rd boss
One of our raid tanks is a monk
not a hard fight dont get me wrong
but sometimes pug tanks make it harder than it needs to be lmao
Man has ADHD or something he literally never sits still in keys
Now third boss
That shit sucks

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.
fair enough lol
The only thing dumber than pugs are pug raid leads
gg go next
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

Im telling you
Whispy's plater
Ok dope. Thank you
Yeah thankfully I'm in a cool guild now so i don't have to pug much anymore
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
tbf most of the time i dont have issues in raid pugs
its just when you do have issues its very noticable
The standard is literally "who is willing to look like an idiot infront of 19 others"
thats because people who led pugs only pick people with the AOTC achiev and myth xp - don't need to lead anything
everyone already knows their role

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)

Well I mean early on it wasn’t fully implemented but you could also tell
that legit happened to me
Banned
Deleted
Reported
Even without it being implemented if you knew what to look for they still stood out
And they did
cuz they were trash
Dont hate
Im a shitposter do you really expect me to play a real spec
Smh
I’m literally a hater
Also
Yeah
I’m a shit poster too and I play this gabagool spec
Real
don't be a hater be a lover
You gotta be a certain level of both to be a certified log reviewer
anybody else wish vault day was monday?
i've been playing sub but the rotation irritates me. is it worth to switch to assassin? how's it performing?
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)
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?
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
That’ll be my next name
idk what to tell you
keep trying
if you like it the gear will come, and you'll get better as long as you try
Are the barrels on Richard Reverberations gripable
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 👌
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
Certified Log Reviewer?
More like certified hog reviewer
Very relatable
Co-signed because that was some real shit you just said
finding a guild where you don't feel like the only able bodied person playing in the wrong league is important
I have 2-3 other people who are in my position
we push higher keys other nights
it's fine
sounds like you have 3-4 people who should find a new guild together
My guild's a rare 1 night a week guild in OCE
Also some people just arent interested in mythic raiding
I am a one night a week aotc guild as well
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
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
The real endgame is finding a vibe guild to enjoy the game with and vibe 
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 
I worked out early not to become an officer in these guilds
should i play my rogue or maplestory this tier?
too much drama
I used to raid lead in Amirdrassil and decided quickly I would never do that again
It was late aberrus to early amirdrassil
Now i just say RLs are idiots and call it a day
raiding with sweats isn't fun
Wrangling a group of casuals through heroic fyrakk is an experience 
what if we're sweating because its really warm out and our A/C isn't working
AOTC g'huun was definitely something
australia moment
Gamer Grease
i use my pc as a space heater in the winter but then in the summer i suffer big time
"Alright people we only need 3 seeds to survive the final phase"
I wish I was kidding when I say for the majority of pulls there was at least 2 seeds that were just left unattended


Rogue so we can hold hands on raider.io
ok
"come on guys. be better"
in the most disappointed dad voice you ever heard
615 ilvl Lanille coming out of retirement
She has a great way of motivating people to not do stupid things
"If you die to -mechanic-, 10k gold in guild bank"
I'd love to implement that
we have people who only seem to have 500g to their name at any time
But now I just watch as the rogue in my guild parses single digits every boss 


hey..... i notice in pure single target fights ill doa bunch of damage for the first minute of the fight then ill become mana starved and everyone else will slowly come up over me on the damage meter and my damage will slowly go down
am i not usign thistle tea correctl;y ?
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv

is this in M+?
or in raid?
Makes the other rogue in my guild look like a god
Surely this guy was dead the whole fight?
Im like 90% sure he does bad cuz he is baked out of this world
and his lowest ilvl item is his MH dagger for some reason?

He was playing Sin

raid single target fight
Trust me his sin play wasnt any better
Assassin damage spikes every 2min with deathmark
They wanted to do mythic so I told RL that if any dps were noticably below me (aug) they need bench or rehab 
so just do your CDs properly, and keep your bleeds up, and you're like 90% there
Probably both

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
Oh I just dont have time for those people
nah neither - I gquit if I see one
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
need more people like you
what is this macro ? how does it work ? is it useful ?
it's the macro you're supposed to use for tea
It macros tea to shiv, it macros tea to shiv, and.... it macros tea to shiv
and doesn't accidentally use tea twice if you spam press it a couple of times
i dont fully understand but ill have to try it
Basically you
it casts tea and shiv together
Shivvy shiv
and that's good
And then sippy sippy
and you want to do that
okay
At the same time
i didnt know tea and shiv should always be used together
so thats good to know
if you haven't, I'd read the guides and the pins

From a key, Protpal and Aug highest dam in key, the shaman was playing ele and was a previous guildie tryna talk about me playing a passenger princess spec
I told him he was right but at least I wasnt a dollar tree shaman
Hey woah
Dude had a straight up aneurism for some reason
Did he unbind ascendance?
ICANT
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
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
what
well yeah, kingsbane and tea are both 1 min cooldowns
you can literally unbind tea
and forget it exists
just use that macro
and you're good
yeah ive read it im just slow idk
okay
All good, you'd just be surprised at how many people don't do that
ill get used to the ways of taking the good sip
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?
tell your RL that you are king of boss damage
is it worth tabbing the adds for like ruptures? or just pump into KBs on boss
Didnt use ascendance properly
During ascendance windows in aoe he was capping at 1.2m 
adds die too quick probably
i know theres a haste buff but that doesnt really seem worth for us
Can you grip in the barrels
just focus boss, and you'll get some good cleave with caustic as long as the adds are gripped in / etc.
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)

just swap for a couple of pulls, link details showing you doing bottom add damage bc you swapped, then go back to hitting boss
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 ?
okay
RL looked at the WCL of the sub rogues using the cursed timing to just omega padd the adds down
tell him to pad dn
if your raid needs barrel damage this badly i think there may be other problems
sounds like they have it handled

especially melee barrels
Lanille does tank damage
same

yes
i just realized im going to need to get gilded crests to craft, im doomed
tier 11 delves are easy 31 a week
is assaination good enough to find groups or will i just get flamed for not playing sub as a returning player.
sub
You'll be fine
Assassin is fine
frankly, if you have to ask this question then any spec you play will probably be fine
can't say the same for the community
Can you get titan disc fragments from M+?
no
What about raid?
no
Appreciate it
shoutout the home team thanks for the feedback
fantastic job - well played!
wait, sorry for dumb question, but should we be running those 2 different weapon enchants?
guild had me going sub for the first 20 or so pulls and i knew all we needed was some assa rogue
showed them didn't we
Not even #1. going to shame you on x smdh
(Great job king I knew you weren’t a bottom)
BRO
Mb the thoughts won
should double the enchants
@spice spire I’m going to pluck every single chest hair from your body one by one
Dog I have. Lot of chest hairs
Dog I have. Lot of chest hairs
what does this trinket do for us
is anyone able to shed light on what 'call an earthen ally to aid' actually does
ye
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
not a bad idea; T8 i assume
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?
at what ilvl do we replace the Cyrce's Circlet with stat rings?

never
check your self and sim the pins
sim the pins and check your self
Sim the pin check
are sims broken for sin rogues atm for no buffs?
Shouldn't be?
What would make you think that
stats doesnt care for sin ofc what else
!up




blizz just needs to find a way to buff simdps without affecting actual performance
yes exactly
and they also need to care about a third party open source project that they have no control or stake in
they definitely use it to tune
instead of looking at the game that they develop
and using that to tune
In terms of doing more damage through damage over time, Does feral or Assa take the cake?
Same same but different
If you enjoy assa apm outside cds permanently feral is your choice
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
Assa is great, but i am sure on the feral Druid discord they will tell you that feral ist great haha
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?
Assa is great, and you need at least 1 for the Raid buff in Raids
No clue about pvp though sorry 😄
thats fair haha
nah, i totally do it
Yea same when something I play is actually busted lol
and feral actually is kinda good rn
biggest problem is that boomkin is really good aswell
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
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
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 🙂
eh, outlaw needs to actually fight stuff for their high uptime
stuff like DH/Monk/Mage dont have that "restriction" and other movment tech stuff
Fatebound outlaw can hook 4 times in a row
is fatebound a thing in PvP?
cant imagine something more frustraiting, ngl 
well, its PvP, why not go full stupid i gues
You don’t care about capstone. Just hope for tails damage
And don’t have to track your mark
the sad thing about mage is I wanna hit people in melee lmao
if u have 2 rogues in raid is it worth 1 going mind numbing and other atrophic?
it got fixed
when was that even?
the fix or the bug
bug
10.0
tralallalallalalalalal
TIL something new
sounds like a big bug, probably only benefit for blizzard is that barely anyone runs more than 2 *rogues
this has become me

it doesnt matter all that much
For vexxie do we hold cds until plating breaks or full send
ideally your raid should be able to break 6 platins within 2 minutes
yeh depends if your raid is garbage but typically holding for the plates is worth it
can get off a kingsbane on pull
took my raid way over 2 minutes to break plates

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 
yeah 1:30 sounds about right
But if tue raid plan is to break the boss at 2 min u can send it
seen a few guides say wait until his energy is nearly full so all the 2min classes get cds back
probably depends on comp
I would be surprised to see how many guilds actually hold
Boss is so piss easy I would assume any competent raid lead just wouldn’t give a shit and any dumbfuck raid lead just wouldn’t know or think about it

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Exactly this
Does anyone have time for a log review
sure bud, frost or fire?
Assasination
frostfire arcane

For bleed build when you’re carrying dn from pack to pack, after spreading garrotes and ruptures on the new pack does ct take priority over max cp envenom to apply mark or not?
u actually performed fusion between two specs
but ye frostfire fire is the cook
SF isnt bad though
its jsut that SK has so much more ST dmg
You’d want to probably just ambush regardless tbh but the envenom to apply mark would take prio
Mark is very good
Hello everyone,
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
stix must be the worst boss to compare at
he can still play badly
not a bad aotc kill 😄
the real last boss is finding decent healers in m+
Maybe the decent healers were the friends we made along the way
they are all offline
Also
I thought the madness at un'goro event would be cool but it's literally just some world buffs???
buddy world content in wow is a meme
ofc they are, its monday 11:58am, people are at work
Giga! 🙂 gz
I also did my first kill on Mythic Ansurek with 91, was pretty happy about it.
Yooo bros, anyone knows why my sim is worse with 4p then it is with 2+2p? I can't understand it fr
Its normal. You need all 4p at 665 then it becomes a bit better, until then just wear 2+2
Damn is the 4p so shit lol
how do i get 2+2 if i didnt play last season?
4p kinda bad, old 2p is good
simply put, you dont
Then you’re just forced to play 4p 😁
you dont and just use 4p
I mean at some point we will all be wearing 4p its just the ilvl difference atm
The opener for aoe in m+ is:
ambush garrote garrote rupture rupture fan CT then burst in single target with caustic?
In general caustic is more important than CT?
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.
caustic does nothing if you dont envenom/kb bud
Exactly
yeah?
and you said mutilate before CT
whats your logic then
you mutilate when you wanna start envenoming
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)
get frustrated when it falls off
What does this mean?
Like enemy dies before you get your 3 stacks out?
the 3 stacks don't matter
and no, i mean like stuff eats your dm
like the first boss of top
God damn flowers on third boss of workshop
I'll just send a DN envenom on this dude.... Aaaaand it's gone
how does that happen? huh
usually it is when a mob despawns rather than dies
games bugged
and shite
and blizzard doesnt care
and they only care about releasing content
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
yep
but they will release another 70 euro mount pack
They must have made a killing on those, half my guild bought one
not those
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

that aint just a 99 bud, thats rank 3
keep that shit up, you blastin
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

is it bad i hate how assassination feels in aoe lmao
single target + cleave feels so satisfying though :[
I dunno, with IC spreading garrotes w/silences, ruptures and CT then slamming Spatter envenoms is pretty satisfying to me 
maybe its just too low of keys?
What key levels are you running?
Because if it's low keys, try the bleed build out
tried a +5
And watch as sudden demise just pops half of your mobs
felt like everything was dying before i could get everything going
That's normal in a 5 unfortunately
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
im afraid of tuning hotfixes
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
What lvl would you stop using bleed
Depends on your party tbh
13s
what do you mean by this week being fortified? I thought both are always active at a certain key level

we tried to do a 12 priory with a pug tank
he stood in the spear on the first boss
died then left the group
lol
absolute classic move
I call it the LatAm Gambit
i mean we even had a brez available
Ragnaros JAJA tank joins your key
my jumper cables went off the same time he left
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
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*
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
Even if nobody is logging, there should still be a record of it, right?
Like even when someone forgets to log - theres still shows that the boss was killed.
But that is because of the blizzard API right? Like it is displayed in the armory
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.
Do they know how sin rogue plays with splatter?
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.
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
I mean if you hard focus on adds you'll do tank damage on adds and much much less boss damage
but if you get a nice chance it's worht
idk I just cast a ct on the closest bombshell and then just hit boss
Are you running a CT build on that one?
May help, more add damage without sacrificing too much in relation to boss damage
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
you miss our current talents? 
I'm not playing assassination
That's what i mean X)
I miss spatter
which is something i never thought i'd say
Spatter is nice though
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
the solution is make Caustic Spatter same range as Starfall 😄
no, make starfall the same range as spatter
solution would be make spatter behave like blade/nimble flurry and originate from the player
but it wouldn't make thematic sense so gg enjoy target hitbox based aoe
it was recently patched to work kinda like that tho
unless i misunderstood the graphics in the pins
should i craft another dagger, or an amulet with best stats 
If you already have a 675+ dagger it’s the neck
i think another dagger would be more cashmoney
Offhand is not a big deal
In fact it’s the lowest prio thing
While Mainhand is +++
well, i had to skimp and go for 658 since i didnt have at the time access to gilded crests
Then you upgrade to 675 dagger
And craft something else
You don’t waste two sparks on daggers
so just to check, im 99.99% sure of the answer, upgrading does not consume another spark, yes?

i have to be absolutely sure, this ui makes me think it does
it does not
It does not
still tied to boss hitbox
excellent
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
ST assa buffs when?! 🤔👀
bro we're not mages chill
I wouldn't expect nerfs to anything but aoe tbh
the aoerupture is stronk
ct mainly tbh
in mythic raid we are #11
thanks for share your platers guys, you are the goats 🙏
not really rupture
its mainly that they buffed CT for some reason
and assa is not really a problematic spec rn
Guess you haven’t seen ret aoe
Or uh
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 ?
idk, I don't lose to ret in aoe
their aoe is bursty but they struggle if mobs start not being stacked
You haven’t played with a good one than imo
bro there is no good one
the spec is easy as shit
our guild's ret is like 3.1 now or something
Emp hammer does tons of dmg
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
good rets dont exist
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
mass aoe topend is boomie, uh, ele sham with cds
fire too
destro
I want to say BM
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
I wouldnt mind that but aoe doesnt need a nerf unless they nerf fire, boomie, and ele sham subsequently
what makes sin unique is our aoe isn't gated by cds like the other classes
ye
Because all of those specs crank in AoE AND St too
assa has strong consistent aoe
Facts
we can do cd-level burst every single pull if allowed to restealth, failing that a vanish charge works
while most others need cds
meanwhile our pure st 
Very valid point.
Boomy definitely does not crank on ST
like, the ele shaman will smoke you on pull 1
you "win" on pull 2-3
end of candle king
its competitive witht sub, cd timers might have a part to play but I don't see sin coming close
Ct nerf + ST buff would be a good exchange then.
buff bleeds
What are you buffing envenom?
more
lol
unironically mutilate
only simple way to buff pure st without it going into aoe
buff envenom it's too weak, i only hit for 10mil+ occasionally
Buff deathmark and envenom hehe
since we don't use VV bc of hero trees
u should see how sectech hits
also mut hits like the wettest noodle
The wettest noodle in all the land
Uncap kingsbane
Like make kingsbane spread to muliple targets and get amped by caustic spatter and poison bombs? Naa that would kill bleed spec
nah, capping kingsbane was best change they ever made
made us finally put pi out of the picture
disgusting spell
But i wanna be a PI slut 😌
the amount of times i've heard uh say "I need pi to do damage"
you don't want to be him
trust me
pi is a lose/lose
i want other players in my raid to get pi so i can win anyway
Thats also a 3:30 fight where the sub only used 2 cds and one of them being incredibly scuffed
I get pi’d but when i do it’s outside of my cds
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
Also boomie is not even close to our prio dmg
thats true, I was gonna say fight ends with blades up but still my point stands, sin does like 1.3-4 here
it's not in the same ballpark
!pooling
- 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
maybe even less considering 3:30 is awful timing for sin
Yeah i was thinking 1.15-1.3
Point is assa ST is trash 🗑️ . Luckiely i feel like there arent TOO many st bosses this season. Except DFC 🙄
You aren’t 658 yet?
Workshop too actually
655 myself
yeah assa ST is trash, but you can also fix talent a little bit to have higher st
~660 on reset if lucky
like supercharger instead of subterfurge
it's around 10% ahead in ST
while still nice aoe
and prio dmg
but then you brick ur aoe
Im barely doing 10s atm so my lack of ST hasnt felt like a massive crutch yet
then wtf do you say oy brick your aoe
im 658 with last season neck
you take the one thing sin is good at
stop winning at it
to try and be mediocre st
:l
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
well I just tuned into his stream
leme tune in
he is polaying assa and winning
He streaming rn?
ye
who is this he
any dungeons you guys find most difficult for your dps?
Casualaddict
DFC probably because of many ST bosses
And small trash
he isnt playing that build
was using ct in st
For that one in particular a 3 chested 9 is my best
But that dungeon has an extremely lenient timer
ah i see, yeah that one is actually not bad for me dps wise. Its the others usually lol... where things get wiped out pretty quickly +10 and +11
its not the scuffed forced induction build
@strange sleet
every time I see that build it's like 10-20% behind overall
bro no way
Hes running the build of the Gods!
is that one
he is not running double vanish
ye was a floodgate
Hes using the bleed build in a 14?! Holy
I think it probably depends on key
sin is quite good at funnel, pretty nice for 1st boss
on floodgate
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
actually insane
that it's THAT much stronger
how long you simming
dungeon fights never go to 5m tbh
5 mins
Do 3?
I guess I could
try it over 2/3m and without raid buffs perhaps
no raid buffs
im still impressed it's that strong
I thought you were being sarcastic lol
nah
9/10% is a big deal
was expecting like 3-4%
Same
which is still notable but a trade off
5% less overall for a 10% ST gain might be a good trade off
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
anyone else have 3 piece and having droptimizer sims say 4 piece is a down grade?
Assuming youre doing 1.2m ST you’re now doing 1.32m. Probably better to swap specs
alas, poor Renzik
Pins
Assuming you have 3/2?
yes
Yeah this is covered in the pins the
so its not an upgrade until ALL the tier pieces are 662ish?
You need high level 4 piece
gross
Until they average out
spoiler||rogue character shows up and is likable / useful = instantly killed off||
Just checking
Some lad had 658ish
Convincingly realistic jumper cables are the ones we use this expac right
well, he didn't just show up, he has been in the game since vanilla
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
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.
Yes
keep it that way thanks
Coward
the only thing worse than the british are furries
Bro im literally both
the fuck you mean
Mf aren’t you the most British mf I know?
Wot
Lil bro had chip shop updates during Covid
What's that got to do with hating the british?
Kpb aka kieron probably British
Based based based based
The fish and chip shop is just where british people respawn
nofink, Left-tenant, bruv. Brits have the audacity to say OUR english does not sound educated!
Primordial Americans Smdh
It sounds uneducated yes
what key level should I consider about using the bleed build?
USA english sounds more primal than British english
By that
I mean both sound like godamn alien
the unbridled TEMERITY! To say we sound uneducated!
Do you WANT me to bring up USA education statistics
Whenever you feel
do you want to tell me what "left-tenant" means?
ok tyty
No, that's what john google is for
His voice actor is on strike so blizzard is respecting him by not putting his voice lines in game or replacing him
In the immortal words of mark Twain, there are three lies in this world.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
is that really the reason?
Yea
Maybe once he’s not on strike his vo will be back
Tbh the questline was Goated
the quests themselves were super basic
Bro that's what like most people praise classic wow for
Also like
99% of quests are like that tbh
yeah I played through in vanilla, I was not interested in returning
