We are so back

Worming about

golden loom
#

Bring back pre-patch dooming

balmy condor
#

People who play competitively love to think that their game is competitive when most of gaming isn’t competitive

thorn thorn
#

I liked this chat more when it was just doomage

fallow canopy
obtuse socket
#

We need 11.1.5 or 11.1.7 for more dooming of they ignoring us again

balmy condor
#

I think like one of the only areas of gaming that’s actually pretty die hard is like fighting game stuff

golden loom
balmy condor
#

Like street fighter and shit

#

Those guys are raw

#

And there’s not a lot of like

#

Casual street fighter players

midnight arrow
strange sleet
#

SHOOTERS TOO TBH

#

caps

balmy condor
#

Yeah shooters can be

#

Depends on the shooter though

haughty flicker
#

shooters are weird

balmy condor
#

Overwatch marvel rivals? Hell no

haughty flicker
#

because its either giga casual or insanely hardcore

golden loom
#

Shooters are either the most casual or comp game

balmy condor
#

Csgo? Yeah okay

golden loom
#

cod vs cs

obtuse socket
#

Rainbow Six

#

<.<

grave trail
#

Saying retail wow is casual is crazy lol reason is easy for us it's cause we played it for thousands of hours, try introducing retail to a new player

severe sparrow
#

sus not that it matters really cuz we're about to get updated sims for updated tuning, but did the trinket changes make it that much easier to hit the point where we break 2/2 for 4? it's suddenly simming about the same either way for me at a way lower overall ilvl

balmy condor
# vestal wren speedrunning

I guess if you include that yeah, I was more thinking of game genres and less the subcommunities but that’s a good point

golden loom
balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

i think retail wow is not as overwhelming to get into as it was in the past too

balmy condor
#

But it’s the same with like ffxiv

vestal wren
#

tho it depends.
Super mario 64 speedrunning is insane (or i guess trackmania as i remember you playing that)
Minecraft speedruns is like playing casino, so its not very competitive.

grave trail
#

I tried introducing retail to 4 of my friends and they couldn't get into it cause it was too complicated they mainly play shooters tho

strange sleet
#

But speedrunning is a competition itself

#

no?

balmy condor
grave trail
indigo mulch
#

I love watching players who are good playing trackmania

#

its insane how good they are

grave trail
#

I think the game is superhard for the average gamer

balmy condor
#

Yeah that can happen to non mmo people

coral ibex
#

first cinderbrew of the season

golden loom
balmy condor
balmy condor
#

@final star Is pretty good though

golden loom
coral ibex
#

i'm so sorry

indigo mulch
# balmy condor Do not watch me

I watch that norwegian guy quite a lot.. I can't remember his name now but he always pops up on my youtube feed. You should watch when they climb the tower every year, thats absolutly insanity.

haughty flicker
#

ok yeah you dont get to have an opinion

coral ibex
#

you have my sympathy

haughty flicker
#

on how hard it is to get into an mmo

haughty flicker
#

lmao

indigo mulch
vestal wren
#

i wanted to do sm64 speedrunning

simple violet
haughty flicker
#

maxed ironman players are wild

balmy condor
#

He just released a part 2 on the biggest cheater in tm history

balmy condor
#

It’s a banger watch

red schooner
indigo mulch
#

Yeah, deep dip, MAN thats so cool to watch.

red schooner
#

i was sat there like, 'nah, it can't be riolu'

#

and its just, god damn

golden loom
#

A game that should be super casual but also has a bunch of fucking degens is Fifa

#

like the amount of money and anger my friends spend on that game

coral ibex
#

thats because fifa put magic the gathering into their game

#

its fucked

#

they ruined my favorite sports game

vestal wren
#

then i spend 4 hours learning the 2 meters from the start to the door of the castle, and i wasn't even doing it perfect after that. So i realized just how much time you need to be good at this game....

coral ibex
#

career mode been dead for 10 years

#

everything is ultimate team related

balmy condor
golden loom
#

yeah the last fifa I personally owned was fifa 09

balmy condor
#

But that’s not really cause the opener is complicated

balmy condor
#

It’s cause the fucking tool sucks

indigo mulch
#

@balmy condor I'd like you to play deep dip next time on your stream!

#

I believe!

balmy condor
#

I tried deep dip at one point got to like floor 3 and then rage quit

#

Not for me

indigo mulch
#

LOL

#

Yeah its a bit rough.

balmy condor
#

Trackmania is also like my 7th game

simple violet
final star
balmy condor
#

So I just don’t play it enough to be good

grave trail
final star
#

Oh trackmania

#

I can get by

coral ibex
#

if you play runescape shooters will be easy

#

runescape requires click accuracy more than anything

final star
#

But I'm nothing crazy at trackmania

#

I can easily get gold and close to AT medals

#

But past that I'm bad

indigo mulch
#

I mean other than wow i just play FPS games 😒 I prob have 3000~ hours in overwatch across my accounts, maybe 1k in valo and 3kish in cs. 😒

balmy condor
final star
#

But i haven't tried to get better

golden loom
#

league and wow do feel like they overlap decently well

fallow canopy
grave trail
#

When i try introducing wow to my friends the addon management was too overwhelming already imagine trying to learn a spec to perfection or mythic raid

indigo mulch
#

Oh

#

and poe

#

but only like 2k hours in poe

#

no 1.5k

vestal wren
indigo mulch
#

Not at all.

#

Most fans have upwards to like 5k by now. Its a very old game.

balmy condor
#

not a fan

fallow canopy
#

people that play poe basically live breathe and shit poe

haughty flicker
#

lmao not even a fan

indigo mulch
#

RIP

#

Not even 5k hours

#

tsk tsk

#

Wait arent they releasing some new shit for poe2 soon?

balmy condor
#

I did leave a maplestory review on steam though

indigo mulch
#

what hte actual fuck.

strange sleet
#

10'4k hours?

balmy condor
#

(the vast majority of that is just the game idling in the background cause there's no auto-logout and I'm way too ADHD to log out myself)

#

(but don't tell people that, it's funnier if they don't know)

indigo mulch
#

I've NEVER played maplestory.

balmy condor
#

it's fine I guess

indigo mulch
#

I mean i'm an MMO fan and i like trying new things but like.. maplestory was never my thing

balmy condor
#

it is a bit of a strange one

indigo mulch
#

It came out around the time ragnarok online came out i think. And Ragnarok was just way more fun in my opinion.

balmy condor
#

game is VERY different from back then

strange sleet
#

wow is BY FAR my most played game. Lot's of afk/walking around, but still.

balmy condor
#

like wow from vanilla and wow now is still recognizable

#

maplestory is not

indigo mulch
#

Fair.

#

I don't mind those 2d side scrollers though it can be fun as long as it has some depth to it.

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

my favorite thing to do when people are like it's just a 2d weeb game

#

is show them this

#

and their brain explodes

#

you know it's gonna be banger

indigo mulch
#

lol wtf

golden loom
indigo mulch
#

I mean, like i said. As long as there is depth i don't really care if the graphics are 2d and anime as fuck. Gameplay is whats important. Atleast for me.

strange sleet
balmy condor
#

I tried to learn cadena while leveling it

grizzled mist
#

has the assassination bis trinkets list on wowhead been updated with the new trinket changes yet?

balmy condor
#

and that shit broke my hands

hexed frost
#

This week's affix was specifically designed by someone who absolutely hates feral and assa OMEGAKEKW

#

Absolutely tilted

balmy condor
#

I'm probably shuffling a couple trinkets around

#

but it's still generally accurate

golden loom
indigo mulch
#

The ST on the guy is kind of.. well yeah.

grizzled mist
simple violet
#

just as far as class improvement.. instead of giving us X percent more dmg for mut and ambush they gave us improved energy generation that would equal the same X percent in damage? We'd be doing the same damage, but the class would feel more fluid with less standing around auto attacking

hexed frost
vestal wren
balmy condor
#

he's back and he still doesn't get it

golden loom
#

you know what I want for sin?

#

the feeling that pressing shadowstrike gives

vestal wren
golden loom
#

that ability feels good to press

hexed frost
grizzled mist
#

a lust or brez?

thorn thorn
#

I want to go back to pre-caustic spatter Era

golden loom
indigo mulch
#

How is this man still making this kind of content? 😒

fallow canopy
golden loom
indigo mulch
#

like 99% of what he says is just not true lol

balmy condor
balmy condor
#

and that's good enough

#

also he has a spreadsheet

#

and spreadsheets could not be wrong

#

they're data!

indigo mulch
#

LOL

balmy condor
#

turns out there are many people on the internet that don't care to think about if a content creator is a dumbfuck spouting nonsense

#

and will just nod along if it's said with enough confidence and fake data garble

grizzled mist
hexed frost
#

I want for assa to feel like the pre-caustic era.

Multi dotting with garrote, keeping scent up, and maybe increase the aoe of poison Bomb to death and decay size.

balmy condor
indigo mulch
#

Honestly, the way assassination plays right now. I don't think its all that bad. I wouldn't want them to rework us.

balmy condor
vestal wren
grizzled mist
balmy condor
#

you'd pull all sorts of extra mobs with that

#

cause you can't place it down

indigo mulch
#

I banned tiktok on my daughters phone.

#

She aint going near that shit.

#

She will, but atleast i tried.

balmy condor
grizzled mist
#

agreed lol its my favorite rogue spec

golden loom
vestal wren
#

tiktok has a massive problem of missinformation, the video length does not allow for anything to be explained so people take everything as fact

hexed frost
thorn thorn
#

If they actually listen then they deserve it tbh

indigo mulch
#

I mean that's not even half of it. Tiktok and youtube shorts just trains your brain to have no attention span. I really think its bad for young kids.

thorn thorn
#

If you get info from anyone you should always check sources and the info you are getting to see if they are credible

golden loom
balmy condor
golden loom
#

I cant stop though

thorn thorn
balmy condor
#

but then assa got wrapped up in the whole dragonflight/shadowlands button bloat rampage

hexed frost
balmy condor
#

and they ripped out like half the shit

#

so now we got this

hexed frost
balmy condor
#

blizzards been on a warpath to remove complexity and buttons for the last 2-3 years

#

so poison bomb rework probably very low on the totem pole

#

in terms of priority

indigo mulch
#

Would be cool to have like shiv give you 3 procs on poison bomb or something. So every 3 finisher you do, you get a poison bomb proc.

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

yeh idk, in my perfect world I'd want variance removed, less procs and rng and more just 2-ish% optimizations by playing correctly. Pooling energy before a kingsbane (if it actually mattered) or like sequencing a shadow dance properly for danse macabre was always cool to me

#

like those sorts of mastery over your spec

#

but that's very much not the game wow is

coral ibex
#

that kind of design makes bad players look even worse

indigo mulch
# vestal wren possible, social media can have all sort of bad side effects. I just remembered ...

Yeah I'm sure that's the case, but i've seen so many studies that shows that if you keep scrolling for that "instant gratification" you'll train your brain to just swipe and not actually take in the information that's being said. You watch 5s then you swipe, watch 5s swipe again. If i can i'll try to limit that as much as i can on my young daughters mind. She will go there its just a matter of time but hopefully she'll grow as much as she can before that happens.

coral ibex
#

tough sell

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

that's kinda the issue

vestal wren
#

I like complexity where it makes sense.
Wow often has it in areas it does not make sense

coral ibex
#

they worry so much about the skill floor

balmy condor
#

I personally love learning and evolving and improving as I play the character

coral ibex
#

but casuals pay the bills

harsh harbor
#

DS telling me to ditch the signet

balmy condor
#

like for me the best type of class would be one where I just have no fucking clue what I'm doing and then slowly put the pieces together and get better and better and improve and the little optimizations

#

that's part of the mmo journey for me

#

but wow is very much a "if you can log in, you should be able to play it"

#

and that's fine

coral ibex
#

yea, i felt that way about black mage in ff14 for a while but its been similarly neutered in recent patches

balmy condor
#

just disappointing for me personally

golden loom
coral ibex
#

hard to find nice crunchy class complexity in an mmo these days

indigo mulch
#

Everyhing in FF is extremly scripted though. Its completly different from wow.

balmy condor
harsh harbor
#

couldnt figure it out

coral ibex
#

yea osrs is similar for me

golden loom
#

osrs is a beautiful game, I just played too much so I am too burned out atm

royal lantern
#

just walked around in the town and saw a boomkin, day ruined

golden loom
#

even though a lot of cool new stuff is out

vestal wren
balmy condor
#

I log into my shadower in maplestory and the main combo on that class is a standard A-A-B, but B is off gcd so you have to weave it correctly after A2, and if you time it properly you animation cancel A2 and get back to A1 faster

warm bane
#

QQ: in a big pull do you just apply 5 ruptures and go to FoN and Env or do you usually spread more Ruptures

balmy condor
#

and every fucking time I log in

#

it reminds me how shit I am at the game

#

and I love it

indigo mulch
#

Should i craft neck next or should i craft bracers? aMonkaHmm I feel like i can farm bracers easier than i can farm neck

balmy condor
golden loom
#

Honestly wish I could enjoy league as much as I did before but its less enjoyable when employed

vestal wren
royal lantern
golden loom
#

I was a riven one trick so I love animation cancels kekdog

balmy condor
#

like animation cancel just to animation cancel is dumb

grizzled mist
#

is there link to the bleed build for Tuesdays changes?

red schooner
#

i'm looking forward to me hitting vanish by muscle memory for a good few weeks after the tuning.

#

gonna take some effort to drill that out of me

balmy condor
#

but like in this case, it's basically a 2 button class and the animation cancel is the whole shtick

#

so it's fine

golden loom
#

like the difference between a good riven player and a bad one used to be like 40% damage difference and fluidity

royal lantern
#

worst case was ESO tbh

#

like, literally EVERYTHING was just chain animation cancleing nonstop

coral ibex
#

yea

#

if you couldnt cancel within 0.2s of your animation

#

you sucked

royal lantern
#

use a ability->instantly weapon swap to cancle it and use another ability

and that the entire time

warm bane
royal lantern
#

no matter what you played

balmy condor
#

yeah that's stupid I agree

royal lantern
#

and it starts to just look really stupid when your character is just constantly starting a animation and goes into the next one lol

balmy condor
#

well in maplestory the actual animation goes faster

#

so you see it visually when you're doing it correctly

#

but yeah

coral ibex
#

i quit eso when you had to learn med attack weaving

#

which involved holding m1 for a short duration

#

and doing the same canceling

golden loom
#

idk I just love any animation canceling / schmoovment thing

coral ibex
#

eso did not feel good with the ani canceling

hexed frost
#

Eso has literally the most garbage tier combat system lmfao

#

The Dev's couldn't fix the animation cancelling bug before the IC expansion

#

So they made it a feature

coral ibex
#

the veteran trial fights were interesting when i was playing but it was just not fun overall to play

royal lantern
#

when 90% of your combat animations are "hands to the back and grab for the other weapon"

coral ibex
#

i did think the action bar swapping was interesting

balmy condor
#

coral ibex

i got my neck first run today too

#

hollow talon

haste/mastery neck

#

didnt get any neck from raid so it was the best option

balmy condor
#

People are farming for that?

#

Isn’t there a crit mast neck

royal lantern
#

alchemical chaos can be cringe, ngl

if it increases crit and reduces mastery, priory trinket gives crit again dracthyr_kek

coral ibex

no i had to run my first cinderbrew for the season

i think thats from raid

coral ibex

Hello guys howdy i have a question ... My stats are CRIT 29 / Haste 15/ mastery 56/ vers 2 what am I doing wrong

hollow talon
#

ya that was my final m+ piece i needed now i can go back to not doing m+

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Fatebound will generally want more crit than Deathstalker due to Deal Fate
  • Deathstalker prefers more Mastery/Haste due to Darkest Night guaranteeing a crit
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

Getting Started with Warcraftlogs https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-to-use-warcraft-logs-6341
Logging your combat is a very powerful tool, and the main way of finding mistakes and improving yourself. Logging your raid, mythic+, or even just when you hit a dummy can be great way to learn!
Here's some common things to look at for rogues:

Checking your resources/overcap: Table -> Resources -> Energy/Combo Points from the dropdown
Buff Uptime and trigger amount such as adr/envenom/symbols: Table -> Buffs
Checking casts: Timeline -> Casts (shows sequencing) or Table -> Casts (for cast overview)

oh snap, the item search box?

yeah idk how to make that item on their site

balmy condor

No

#

The gem selection

#

Like where you select gems

#

Idk how to describe it

stiff geode

ohh that's where those pesky gems be 😄

balmy condor

It’s just a box with gems lmao

hallow glade
#

changed to vv + ttb, and now i have trouble getting the shiv + dn inside of lingering darkness. haste 13% crit 23%, am i doing something wrong?

runic hinge
#

Well the buff isn’t until Tuesday so idk why you changed talents now

#

But also your stats don’t matter

hallow glade
#

because im hitting a target dummy

runic hinge
#

If you got 20% more haste it would be 2 apm.

#

But a third thing is you’re gonna usually have lust for your DM and that would keep you from running dry or whatever is keeping you from getting there

static glacier
static glacier
#

you taking into acount supercharger letting you finish on 2+?

#

and lingering being from the end of dm

#

not the start

runic hinge
#

I get 2 full DSM cycles during lingering so idk. I don’t think 10 energy on mut is the reason you’re not getting there

static glacier
#

so you have until your dm has 74s cd to fit it

#

aka 1:14

hallow glade
#

oh you finish at 2+ with supercharger? i never thought of that

static glacier
#

yep, makes you have more DN

#

you can also finish on 4+ with dn if you have supercharger

#

I personally like to finish at 6-7 for first dn of cds on pull for dopamine from amp + dn + cds

#

but its not a gain

#

I just like seeing big number

hallow glade
#

thanks for the help. big number more better

patent elk
static glacier
#

the rule is still the same

#

you just never thought about what supercharger does

safe rose
#

If i may ask you guys, whats the damage you guys are doing single target in m+ to a boss for example?

#

like average dps?

light rapids
#

im noticing against bosses im running out of energy, and if they dont die fast i suffer but in packs im feasting

safe rose
prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.

Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.

light rapids
#

im probably doing something wrong though

safe rose
#

my gs is 646 and my dps is 700k single target

#

and other rogues are much higher than me i dont know whats wrong

patent elk
static glacier
#

Bro supercharger makes it so finishing on 4 = 7

#

Ergo you can finish on 4

patent elk
#

Yes, but if you finish on 7 you have 10

static glacier
#

@balmy condor I don't wanna be misinforming people, can you confirm / deny that it's legal to finish on 4 for dn and likely doesn't matter -with supercharger-

patent elk
#

But it might have been a +-0 dps thing doing it either way

static glacier
#

Im fairly sure it's +-0 to finish on 4 vs 7 with supercharger for dn

#

Im also quite sure finishing on 2 with supercharger for non dn is good

balmy condor
#

5 always, 7 for dn

#

Optimal and no brain

#

Everything else marginally worse or just worse

static glacier
balmy condor
#

Yeah

static glacier
#

I guess with vv and mut buffs the value of energy efficiency is even higher

red schooner
#

Did a 10 rookery, I was highest single target on bosses. Pls, this is not where i'm meant to be

runic hinge
#

Were you with a ret and a moonkin?

red schooner
balmy condor
nova shadow
#

🥳 personal best dps run

red schooner
#

So idk if they're in a similar position as sin and sacrifice ST heavily for AoE

balmy condor
red schooner
#

I only know how rogue works, fuck knows what any of the other classes do

#

Its a mystery

balmy condor
#

I don’t call it ratshit poison for nothing

nova shadow
balmy condor
#

Yeah it is

nova shadow
#

all good it will come

#

btw this trinket the green fang doesnt sim that bad

balmy condor
#

It just got giga buffed

#

And it still kinda blows

winter abyss
#

how big is the assa buffs for ST ? like will they become decent in ST for m+ build ?

light rapids
light rapids
#

idk about ret dont play it

nova shadow
#

at least I dont find myself underperfoming ST in my keys

#

like ret palas fire mages boomies they seems to be shit on ST too

light rapids
#

firemage has to spec for ST usually or aoe

tawdry mica
#

Me neither, you compensate it after with the packs/multiple target bosses

nova shadow
#

guys in a st boss fight

#

when you run extremly low on energy what is the play

light rapids
#

accept fate

#

apparently

red schooner
tawdry mica
nova shadow
red schooner
#

You either spam your button waiting for energy or you don't spam and only hit the button when you have energy

#

But at least the former i feel like i'm doing something

nova shadow
#

😂

light rapids
#

stafe really fast with Q and E so it looks like im rly active

tawdry mica
#

real

red schooner
nova shadow
#

it would be fun going triple ass on some dungeon and on the bosses after 40 secs of the encounter only swords will be heard

#

daggers*

red schooner
#

I'd still like there to be some proper benefit from pooling outside of the pool to 150 for kingsbane

nova shadow
#

is outlaw like the new meta right now

#

I see streamers running it

#

a lot more now

light rapids
#

outlaw has very fun animations and basically has 0 energy problems, and doesnt need stealth (i think) to fuck

#

and also its pretty good i guess

nova shadow
#

but is the dps even competitive compared to assa

#

They hardly do over 5m in pulls

light rapids
#

unsure. i have no idea which specs doing best in m+ rn

nova shadow
#

I'm pretty sure it is assa

light rapids
#

i levelled to 80 on outlaw but as ive bene playing assa more i really like its flow

#

its my first dot class

nova shadow
#

I agree I leveled to 80 as assa and continue tried all 3 but assa is so much fun and baddass

#

idk why people saying its boring

#

like have they played unholy or frost mage or w/e

red schooner
#

i like dots on targets, so i like sin

thorn thorn
#

I play sin cuz Outlaw too hard for me and Sub is..... Sub

#

Sin goodge

light rapids
#

i dont think outlaws hard i think its annoying to track RTB buffs

nova shadow
#

I think theres some new ambush build that the rank 1 rogue plays

#

which doesnt track rtb

#

as an outlaw

thorn thorn
#

If I cant play it in raid while watching breaking bad then its too hard

light rapids
#

based

hollow river
#

But you reroll on CD basically other than 5 buffs

light rapids
#

outlaw is cool becuase grapple hook is the funnest mobility in the game

nova shadow
#

It also gives the old nostalgic combat rogue vibes from wotlk

#

where you can randomly 1shot someone with ks

dense cove
#

I ran a droptimizer earlier for assassination and based it on the same item level as my subtlety set of gear. I then simmed my subtlety set on single target and my ideal assassination set on single target. I took my assassination DPS and multiplied by 1.05 because I figure it is about a 5% increase next week. Sub is still simming better for me, but I’m a little surprised by that.

runic hinge
#

What’s surprising

dense cove
#

No need to be rude, I’m asking a question. I’m pretty sure I spelled it out very clearly what that question is

balmy condor
#

sub sims higher

#

yes

runic hinge
#

Sub sims higher

#

Damn I’m slow as hell

#

Also wasn’t trying to be rude

compact quartz
#

I’d say the question isn’t very clear because there’s no question - I know what you’re getting at though, I don’t Think Tony is trying to be rude, just asking what you’re trying to get at

indigo mulch
#

Sin unplayable.

tired yacht
balmy condor
#

true

dense cove
#

I guess I feel like I have seen a lot of people saying that assassination will be the more prominent spec come Tuesday, but it doesn’t seem that way based on sims.

balmy condor
#

25% more please

compact quartz
#

I believe Fuu’s sims have ass higher? But I’m rogue noob atm so someone else can elaborate

indigo mulch
#

Why stop at 25%?

runic hinge
#

Raid fights aren’t based on sims

#

And neither is balance

balmy condor
#

sims are terrible references for balance

indigo mulch
#

Let's just make deathmark a 1min cooldown so it lines up better with kingsbane.

runic hinge
dense cove
#

Got you, I guess that is because it is just a perfect world scenario?

spice surge
#

Bleeds are for aoe, poison for ST

#

Thats how it goes rn

lavish geyser
#

how do you guys play first pull of workshop? im currently doing my 12s. a little late since I had some exam stuff. But i notice that everything just gets oneshot, and I just cant put a DM on a target without it dying hella quick

indigo mulch
#

Find the beefiest mob and just pray.

#

That's what i do

red schooner
#

Pretty much

#

Find big dude, refuse to move away from big dude

lavish geyser
#

there are no big dudes on the first pull

#

that is kinda the issue XD

indigo mulch
#

if everyhting dies to fast don't use DM, just use kingsbane

balmy condor
#

there's a lot of factors

indigo mulch
#

That's what i do in packs that dies super fast, i just slam kb and a shiv and hope for the best

balmy condor
#

the fight length, downtime, adds

#

etc

indigo mulch
#

spreading bleeds is decent too i guess, but that pull is just to big to be fair 😒

balmy condor
#

so it's like yeah sub sims higher if you had 1 target dummy for 5 minutes

#

but who really cares about that ya know

dense cove
lavish geyser
indigo mulch
#

I mean, you could legit just spread bleeds as well, just spam garrote and rupture and keep ct up

haughty flicker
#

first pull of workshop you play as unethically as possible

#

ez

#

demisemaxxxxxxxxx

lavish geyser
#

what is unethical?

#

lol

#

so just spread bleeds to everthing?

indigo mulch
#

you don't give a fuck about prio mobs and just do whatever benefits your details.

haughty flicker
#

well that pull doesnt have any prio mobs

#

you stop bomba from exploding

#

and you spread bleeds

lavish geyser
#

ill try to just bleed evertyhign up

haughty flicker
#

and normally it all just explodes

indigo mulch
#

Yeah i think thats the way.

#

Just bleed em up

brave kindle
#

sorry haven't been on ass since S1, are we taking internal bleeding over caustic now?

haughty flicker
#

ib is just for st, in m+ always take caustic

#

and most raid fights even you go caustic this tier

balmy condor
#

caustic with any adds

#

internal with no adds

brave kindle
#

ah okay, that's what I was thinking but I ready some stuff somewhere and it had me second guessing myself

#

this is what i've been running in m+

indigo mulch
#

In short, you only pick internal on sprocketmonger.

#

😄

balmy condor
#

yeah that's a standard m+ build

indigo mulch
#

Maybe carnage(?)

balmy condor
#

carnage is caustic

haughty flicker
#

you get enough spatter value in clash

red schooner
#

if you can get barely any caustic usage, go caustic

indigo mulch
#

Cuz of kb lining up decently with clash?

red schooner
dawn heath
#

are the trinket changes live?

red schooner
dawn heath
#

class changes too?

cerulean burrow
#

Hey so what do we change in our single target takent build now ? Was it updated on wowhead or nah ?

red schooner
dawn heath
#

kinda weird

red schooner
cerulean burrow
#

Thx

indigo mulch
#

Hmm, is it actually worth holding onto kb and delay your next dm on carnage?

balmy condor
#

not even kb but yeah

indigo mulch
#

so standard opener > hold first kb until clash then play it like that?

red schooner
#

so, don't swap out now

#

unless you want to i ain't your boss

dawn heath
#

should we t rust the sims

#

on the goon trinket

#

it sims better than mine

it's just insanely bugged and just got buffed

dreamy rover
#

i get all the opener/ramping part of it (im talking about AoE)

balmy condor
#

uh huh

dreamy rover
#

but what do I do after my garrotes and ruptures fall off?

#

and dont want to throw a vanish at the pack

warm drum
dreamy rover
#

do i refresh dots manually?

#

do i look at the monitor until pack dies

#

im confused

#

do i reapply rupture just enough to get max scent of blood?

#

idk

balmy condor
red schooner
dreamy rover
#

ty for the input people

#

and what do I do if tank keeps chain pulling

balmy condor
#

you just wanna get enough energy

dreamy rover
#

just give up?

torpid lion
#

pray meld works

balmy condor
#

I mean if the tank is chaining that's what you have vanish for

red schooner
#

and keep on rolling

dreamy rover
#

thats it?

red schooner
#

also keep tempest up

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

ct and caustic are your two big ones

#

after that just rupture/gar on main target, spread enough ruptures/garrotes for energy and bang out envenoms

#

if the tank chains properly, like not at 0.1%, you should be able to use that to push you into the next pack as well

#

dying targets that have rupture on them will just naturally give you energy back

red schooner
#

and then smile inside when you hit a big darkest night caustic envenom and watch when your damage on details suddenly spikes up

balmy condor
#

so you have your bleeds up on the old mobs, and that pushes you into the new pack

red schooner
#

it feels good

dreamy rover
#

gotcha, just wanted to take out a couple doubts I had about the spec, found myself lost in that situation

haughty flicker
#

the only one that sucks for me is the fucking droplets in cinderbrew after the fat guys die

haughty flicker
#

like you kind of have to sit there and dot them while the tank runs ahead

#

or ignore them and go into next pull with no energy

red schooner
#

i am the tank now

haughty flicker
#

based

#

actually

dreamy rover
#

what about deathmark on AoE

haughty flicker
#

forgive me for what im about to say

dreamy rover
#

throw it down on the main dude and chill?

but ive come to understand a bit of boomkins pain

It like randomly works on some bosses sometimes too this season

red schooner

but either way, big damage reduction, good

dreamy rover
#

i mean its good

haughty flicker
red schooner
haughty flicker
#

time to start testing blackjack on bosses

dreamy rover
#

but idk if I'd actually use it in valuable moments

red schooner
#

its weird

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

thats so funny

#

actually thats pretty good

balmy condor
#

Idk how or why

haughty flicker
#

if it works on the add too

#

for that aoe pulse

balmy condor
#

I haven’t figured out how to make it work sometimes I just slam a blind just to see

#

But ye

#

Very whack

haughty flicker
#

ye im gonna have to try it out

red schooner
balmy condor
#

Tricks is good if you’re like in an organized group and helping group up mobs and shit

#

Or if you’re an impatient fuck

#

But like if you’re pugging and the tank is doing some wild shit

#

Pretty useless

red schooner
#

and blackjack can save some sketchy situations sometimes

#

30% reduced damage on a pack is pretty big

they fucking kill it

that's it

good to know ty

balmy condor

and it's VERY minimal

like if you forgot to pool before your non-dm kingsbanes

it won't matter

If nothing matters on sin does that make it peak or trash spec design

nothing matters

funny how that is the sentiment here meanwhile other discords are so caught up in the small details

I enjoy this type of class design

you can pick the spec and just play it for decent damage

or you can min max the fuck out of everything and do amazing damage

compared to sub where if you get 1 global wrong in your burst window your dps is fucked
