ive never had issues

balmy condor
#

Don’t stand a billion miles away

red schooner
#

this doesn't effect me in the slightest

royal lantern
#

and im 1 of the guys that would benefit from it

coral ibex
#

the knockback shouldn't take you out of stealth

haughty flicker
#

but also yeah just send vanish i guess lmao

deep gyro
#

Shadowstep?

royal lantern
#

but jfc such a horrible idea

haughty flicker
#

ive never been knocked out by it tho

balmy condor
#

Yeah the thing that knocks you out is the aoe tick

red schooner
#

just shroud in, grief your bm hunter and then hit boss early

balmy condor
#

It’s the same thing as ansurek

#

People saying that ansurek breaks stealth

#

But it’s the dot tick

#

And they’re just in China

grim jay
#

Its glorious, maybe I will get faster invites now. It just turns every random group owner into something eww potentially. kekdog

radiant raven
#

I hope so. People are already incredibly dumb about the strangest stuff in pugs.

haughty flicker
#

that addon is a genuine jurassic park moment

#

didnt stop to think whether they should

balmy condor
#

It’s actually just Warcraftlogs supervillain any% speedrun

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

Every single thing they’ve done since the archon rebrand has been utter dogshit

royal lantern
#

just block it blizz

#

pls

polar rampart
#

on first boss of top do i have to save stealth to reapply my deathmark since apparently it doesn't count as a reset when one of them dies cuz they are technically same mob or something?

haughty flicker
#

i just move mark when ones about to die

polar rampart
#

true

royal lantern
#

deathstalker is fun and well thought out btw

polar rampart
#

yeah the oversights that brick your ability if you not paying attention

royal lantern
#

swap the mark at the last few %, and they are somewhat equal in HP anyway most of the time

haughty flicker
#

its definitely a bit silly

grim jay
royal lantern
#

like, if 1 goes down, the others are at like 20% at best

radiant raven
#

The best metric for inviting someone to your pug group is how funny their name is. Or how good the joke they include in their note is.

polar rampart
#

true and real

haughty flicker
#

ive started making my note "my mom calls me her little pumper" and my invite rate has skyrocketed

grim jay
#

I just invite people that have killxp and atleast a 50 average on alt runs

radiant raven
royal lantern
#

dont forget to drop the old reliable MEOWDY

radiant raven
#

I had five people drop that on my Vexie kill lmao

radiant raven
#

good cowcat

robust light
#

is our stat prio the same for st and m+?

balmy condor
#

haste in m+ generally worse

robust light
#

so we generally should craft crit / mast?

hearty reef
#

hi whypsyr

normal mist
dusky valve
#

so this might be a dumb question but i got the energy drink from a map earlier and its like a .3% loss if i swap out my priory trinket and just use that and pacemaker. i know sims are sims but do you think its better to have priory for deathmark than having two passive trinkets all the time? i'm only asking because i'm kind of lazy and on use trinkets are lame

robust light
#

why does droptimizer craft want me to make a stilletto?

spice surge
#

I mean you can just macro priory into deathmark, no need to press it manually

dusky valve
#

true and valid

spice spire
red schooner
#

So yeah the 20 ilvls are gonna make a difference

thorny lion
#

i simmed a 658 Heroic track HoC against a Energy drink

upbeat tinsel
#

One passive one on use is usually the play

spice surge
red schooner
final phoenix
#

maaan..... with all the changes i dont know what spec to play to have highest dps in raid <,<

red schooner
#

You'll do more dps on a spec you enjoy and gel with than chasing the meta

final phoenix
#

i enjoy all 3 tbh

red schooner
#

But yeah all 3 are fine

final phoenix
#

but now Outlaw seem to shine

red schooner
#

Just play which one you enjoy

final phoenix
#

sometime i get lazy and dont want to deal with energy pooling,

normal mist
#

You have to pool once every two minutes

runic hinge
#

But like

red schooner
#

we just run out of energy

runic hinge
#

Pooling is actually being lazy?

#

You aren’t pressing buttons

#

How can you get lazier

final phoenix
#

yea, i like to smash button, makes me think i do stuff

#

pooling means i need to pay attention

red schooner
runic hinge
#

Real

normal mist
red schooner
#

and you'll be grand

final phoenix
#

wont that greatly affect my deepz

red schooner
#

Nope!

final phoenix
#

why do i hate myself so much then

#

god

red schooner
#

Any benefits from pooling are so minor, I think the only one with any kind of tiny relevance is the pool to 150 pre-kingsbane

final phoenix
#

ok swapping back from sub to sin tonight for the heck of it

red schooner
#

And even then, it's like... a fraction of a percent

normal mist
#

min max is what we do anyway

final phoenix
#

yea..

red schooner
#

But yeah its a tiny bit of pooling to absolutely min max

final phoenix
#

but all fun aside, how far ahead is Outlaw right now?

normal mist
#

it isnt

#

or atleast it wasn't

upper wraith
#

Outlaw makes my hands hurty

final phoenix
#

use mousewheel

#

keybind to mousewheel

#

outlaw becomes much easier on the hand

normal mist
# normal mist or atleast it wasn't
final phoenix
#

yea, thats what makes me consider Outlaw

#

it looks like it's miles ahead

#

but archon doesnt reflect it, so im confused a bit

normal mist
#

Dont you prioritise fun over the rest tho

final phoenix
#

tbh, its all the same to me

runic hinge
#

I mean that’s like maybe 7% and 4% in damage to bosses. So idk what you consider miles

normal mist
#

That doesn't sound fun :C

haughty flicker
#

outlaw definitely doesnt sound like fun

#

also smol parse size + first few bosses quite good for outlaw

final phoenix
#

who plays to have fun these days , i only play to escape reality

normal mist
#

i do

haughty flicker
#

you dont play at all

normal mist
#

That's why i play

nova kelp
#

there aren't really any BAD bosses for outlaw in the current raid mind

normal mist
#

another game

normal mist
final phoenix
#

LOL

final phoenix
#

tbh, same here

haughty flicker
#

the moment you became a green you became the enemy

#

fight the 1%

normal mist
#

I'm NOT the enemy

#

(yet)

#

This is my enemy:

final phoenix
#

wait he's green?!

high walrus
#

is clear the witnesses fan proc worth using on ST since the mutilate buff

final phoenix
#

yea, mhwilds is neat, next patch coming like... thursday or something

normal mist
#

Yeah, hyped for that

Fok Conditions Post-Buff
Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:

  • Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
    Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up:
  • Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.
    Fan of Knives with Darkest Night Up:
  • Only on 2+ targets, or without Vicious Venoms talented. This is also a very very minor optimization

The most important to remember is the generator rules, clear the witnesses and darkest night optimizations can be effectively ignored as they are not meaningful DPS improvements

normal mist
high walrus
#

thanks

waxen oyster
#

Aren't outlaw logs inflated by the fact.

#

Only the really good super dedicated players play it rn

runic hinge
#

That’s what we used to say about sin logs

normal mist
#

TRUE

spice spire
haughty flicker
#

its ok though because you arent green now

spice spire
#

Damn

#

What if I were tho

#

Haha

spice surge
#

Oh the misery, everybody wants to be my enemy

vague raft
#

idk anything about sin talents, that pin makes no sense to me: are there any crazy changes to rotation compared to last tier?

#

same opener? same rules?

#

I noticed top log on Mugzee doesn't fan on opener?

#

is that just a whoopsie? or just because it doesn't matter that much

haughty flicker
#

you were pressing fok in opener?

vague raft
#

for CtW, yeah?

#

was that wrong?

haughty flicker
#

oh by the time you get ctw i stop consdiering that the opener

strange python
#

no fok since vicious venom is meta now

vague raft
#

backstab, garrote, fok?

ctw on 2+

#

okay, so I'm never pressing that on Mugzee

strange python
#

not in ST at least

"Generally 5 with raid build"

spice surge
#

Droptimizer dumb, use topgear Surebud

spice spire
#

Yeah it doesn’t have an embellishment limit on droptimizer

haughty flicker
vague raft
haughty flicker
#

huh

waxen oyster
#

With the current raid build its not worth consuming ctw on 1 target.

vague raft
#

ty

haughty flicker
#

yeah but now im confused

strange python
#

yeah samething in raid setting my b. you dont use ctw in single target if youre in raid build

haughty flicker
#

oh im not confsued im just dumb

vague raft
#

all g brother

#

me too

waxen oyster
#

I mean you used to only send it before cds if rng was bad.

#

imo

#

on mut crit

vague raft
#

ye

haughty flicker
#

yeah i just forgor

waxen oyster
#

we are in a cooked timeline

#

where mut is like 2nd/3rd on damage

vague raft
#

wait, when do you vanish, this guy doesn't vanish the entire fight

#

that doesn't seem normally

#

do you not play MA anymore?

#

and not use it for gen?

#

during DM?

waxen oyster
#

You don't play MA no

vague raft
#

or is there vanish tech in Mugzee?

#

he was saving?

#

or ish e a griefer?

haughty flicker
#

you dont play ma/imp gar anymore

#

so vanish is just a funny button

waxen oyster
#

vanish is basically there if you lose your mark

#

mostly

vague raft
#

it doesn't give CP anymore?

#

does assa have premed?

#

lmao

waxen oyster
#

No....

#

never has

haughty flicker
#

premed is sub

vague raft
#

i thought it like guaranteed a strong backstab

#

or whatever it's called

#

ambush

waxen oyster
#

well not sure if 1 ambush>1 mut

#

in terms of damage

haughty flicker
#

ambush is not better than mut

#

so it doesnt do anything

vague raft
#

wait

#

I'm so confused

#

I though the special backstab gave more CP

#

or some shit

#

it felt like that last tier

waxen oyster
#

For sub yes

haughty flicker
#

ambush does more damage and gives more cp, mut hits twice and procs stuff

#

on average they are about equal

#

according to people smarter than me

vague raft
#

okay, so it DOES give more CP

#

you guys had me so confused

lunar pond
vapid terrace
#

Spend the free ambush though to save energy

haughty flicker
waxen oyster
#

The best things in life are free

#

as per usual

haughty flicker
#

so thats irrelevant

haughty flicker
#

the spell is removed from your spellbook

#

gl

waxen oyster
#

can you do

#

/cast mutilate

spice surge
#

Nop

solar wyvern
#

Can i take the mutilate on a date and fall in love, have a family, spend a wonderful life together, and then finally on our deathbed, I ask: /cast mutilate ?

vague raft
#

bro this top log took tiny toxic blade instead of arterial precision

#

is that a whoopsie?

#

or good on mugzee

waxen oyster
#

on heroic it probably doesnt matter

haughty flicker
#

ttb is more st

vague raft
#

i mean mythic

haughty flicker
#

ap better if it hits adds

#

honestly i think ttb is probably better on mugzee

#

bc i doubt ap hits through gaols

waxen oyster
#

I mean maybe he just

#

played better?

#

Do you stay out of gaols or

#

step as soon as it goes out

vague raft
#

we haven't pulled yet, starting tonight more than likely

haughty flicker
#

you cant step out of goals

vague raft
#

I can void elf racial

lunar pond
#

AP loses value if the adds die basically instantly or the spread is out of spatter/shiv range

waxen oyster
#

It was more wondering if you were fast enough

haughty flicker
#

yeah velf works

waxen oyster
#

wait you can velf out of it?

haughty flicker
#

door of shadows op

lunar pond
#

If your guild, in heroic, does respectable damage at this point TTB is the play

waxen oyster
#

The temptation is increasing....

#

50% off transmog

#

was already sounding spicy

#

Wait how does velf work post change

#

i never got it right in its old version

haughty flicker
#

its basically door of shadows

#

just with travel time instead of cast time

waxen oyster
#

I guess you wait for your image to get to the desired spot

#

to press it again

vague raft
#

wait, so last tier when you pressed vanish in DM, the next Ambush wasn't guaranteed max CP?

#

it felt like it was

royal lantern
#

no?

waxen oyster
#

No but you had more crit from MA

vague raft
#

hmmm, I don't remember a single time that thing didn't give me full CP lmao

royal lantern
#

ambush is 3 cp with the talent for it and a crit makes it 4

vague raft
#

interesting though lmao

waxen oyster
#

Honestly

#

void elf heritage wings chest

#

is kind of nice

royal lantern
#

its not

#

its a elf

haughty flicker
#

its fantastic except for the fucking collar

#

which makes it so you cant hide it under tabards

vague raft
#

am I still finishing at 5+?

royal lantern
#

5+, obviously 7cp with DN active

vague raft
#

ty everyone

runic hinge
haughty flicker
hardy prairie
#

you guys run kb on 12+ keys?

#

for bleed build

runic hinge
#

Yeah

haughty flicker
#

if you want iw then yeah its good

hardy prairie
#

is that better than just running hybrid?

runic hinge
#

I always want IW

spice surge
#

Just run without kb

#

Usually better

#

Its typically the same as hybrid, but easier because you dont need to worry about lining up kb with dm Surebud

haughty flicker
#

bleed sims better in st for me than hybrid

#

bis build fr

nova kelp
#

huh, don't think I've come across that before

#

but fair

hardy prairie
#

hmm, but i get IW for free with hybrid

spice surge
#

No

haughty flicker
#

iw+kb still sims better for me than hybrid

spice surge
#

Last whispyr checked you lose less dps taking iw for bleed than you do with hybrid

hardy prairie
#

1.4

haughty flicker
#

test 1 is iw+kb test 2 is dropping ma for iw

hardy prairie
haughty flicker
#

m+ is hybrid

#

bleed giga

waxen oyster
#

I mean you normally take kb when taking iw no?

#

What else would you grab

dapper cradle
#

This PantGrab

haughty flicker
#

you can just swap lightweight shiv or ma for iw but both of those choices feels kind of bad

waxen oyster
#

nah the normal drop to get iw on bleed is bonespike

nova kelp
#

all I know is when the tank grabs everything at the start of priory all the way to the stairs plus the first mini boss
CT go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

haughty flicker
#

well yes that is the norm

#

but it isnt the only option

#

down with kingsbane

waxen oyster
#

dropping lightweight sounds not worth

#

with bleed

haughty flicker
#

i just dont use iw anyway

waxen oyster
#

if you dont take kb i guess you can take ttb?

haughty flicker
#

pugs need to learn one way or another

waxen oyster
#

not sure if thats better than taking kb

haughty flicker
#

(i also only do weekly 10s)

waxen oyster
#

I mean i do that too

runic hinge
#

I take iron wire for the dr for tanks. Beginning of pull the scariest part for them

haughty flicker
#

honestly

#

its either the tank is perfectly fine or they die so spectacularly that iw isnt going to save them anyway

#

in my pugs

#

"this is my first rlp" type shit

waxen oyster
#

or the

#

stonevault

haughty flicker
#

big

waxen oyster
#

dh leaping after saying "big"

nova kelp
#

that's legit just a DH thing

#

even if you're in a group with a fucking guild dh tank

#

"big"
*leaps

waxen oyster
#

I mean its because bad dh players dont realize

#

leaping into a pack syncs the autos up

#

You're supposed to throw glaive first

#

into sigil

#

into feldev

#

smh

waxen oyster
#

I guess then you can hunt

#

into aldrachi combo

#

Idk personally i put up spikes first since running ftd anyway

#

i watched a vdh today do half on overall of what mine does in priory when he has better gear.

#

And about similar size pulls

nova kelp
#

I personally refuse to play dh coz we shouldn't have ever gotten them
they required a retcon
they overloaded leather
they removed the possibility of getting warden/spellbreakers
which took away a mail tank/melee class
and made better story sense for us to get
but like, they wanted a rule of cool win

waxen oyster
#

You say retcon

#

in a game that has tauren paladin

#

?

nova kelp
#

I'm ok with it

haughty flicker
#

me when the race that exiled an entire group for using arcane magic can be mages

nova kelp
#

there's levels to retcons that vastly out pace "have learned to"

haughty flicker
#

i want third dh spec

#

thats just ranged

#

throwing glaives at people

#

shooting fel blasts

waxen oyster
#

Most dh players just use rogue mogs

#

its kind of weird

nova kelp
#

it's the same kinda issue with melee sv
should have been BM
BM STILL plays like a melee spec, even now
BM canonically would have made more sense in melee
Ole rex boy who was always THE BM GUY had to be retconned to be sv, although he literally has 2 pets
BM is about being one with the pets but you fight at range
SV throws FUCKING GRENADES IN MELEE
also SV was giga popular at the time they changed it fully

BM should have been melee
SV should have been the ranged pet spec

haughty flicker
#

i can kind of get it

#

because all dh mogs kind of end up looking like dh mogs

#

but also if i play dh im fine looking like a dh

waxen oyster
#

Then again if you missed legion you missed most good dh mogs

#

Nothing comes close to their magetower warglaives.

haughty flicker
#

the thing with dh thats really nice is they have a consistant color palette

#

so new stuff consistantly matches older stuff

#

i wish they did that with more classes

jolly lion
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
waxen oyster
#

Red/gold kind of is harder to match aesthetically

#

on nelf dh

#

as opposed to belf

haughty flicker
#

like you can barely tell some of these are a decade apart

hardy rapids
waxen oyster
#

Oh yeah that true.

nova kelp
#

The belf DH options with the belf armour set is giga

hardy rapids
#

I got something for you

waxen oyster
#

on a nelf

nova kelp
#

man hips

waxen oyster
#

For some reason if you make a class trial dh

#

you get the belf colors of the starter set on a nelf

#

but not the other way around

nova kelp
#

ew imagine actually leveling a character

haughty flicker
#

wait what

nova kelp
#

spend gold and boost that shit

waxen oyster
#

You can get the gold/brown starter set

#

on a nelf dh

haughty flicker
#

alliance favortism smh

hardy rapids
waxen oyster
#

i said dh thats a rogue mog

hardy rapids
#

my fault

waxen oyster
#

and on a belf smh

hardy rapids
#

hol up I got something for you for a red gold dh mog

#

(its on belf that doesnt use heritage set tho)

nova kelp
#

that's an anime lancer mog

waxen oyster
#

i have a few red gold rogue mogs

hardy rapids
nova kelp
#

nothing says stealth like gold

waxen oyster
#

You can also use the legion 3/4 base horde colors to help

haughty flicker
#

i actually really like transmogging demon hunters

#

i just hate playing them

#

lmao

waxen oyster
#

Most of the legion pvp sets kind match well with each other.

#

It doesnt work as well on nelf color palettes

#

overall

hardy rapids
nova kelp
#

Mogs don't matter, we got plunderstorm, now all my toons are pirates because pirates > ninja

waxen oyster
#

and the elite is green

#

ish

nova kelp
#

all I'm waiting for now is the ability to mog any weapon I want

nova kelp
#

so that even as a sin rogue I can have a single rapier

haughty flicker
#

god i hate alliance

waxen oyster
#

The antorus elite set for dh

haughty flicker
#

(i dont actually)

#

thats funny though

waxen oyster
#

was originally datamined as the nh mythic set

#

if you go back to, old mmochamp posts

#

The colorway is definitely better on belf

nova kelp
#

lets be real, the best set from antorus is dashing scoundrel

haughty flicker
#

eh

#

its ok

waxen oyster
#

💀

#

the set that didnt have shoes for a decade?

#

but the pvp color did

nova kelp
#

yep

#

still bis

waxen oyster
#

i dislike that set

#

some races the hat is just positioned wrong

nova kelp
#

that's ok, not everyone has to be correct

#

lol

waxen oyster
#

The tos set for rogue

#

went way harder

nova kelp
#

ah yeah see that's a miss for me

#

I big dislike all the "I look like shredder but designed by someone who forgot to stop drawing" sets

waxen oyster
#

So df s2

#

and somehow got voted for s4

nova kelp
#

omg

#

that

#

was

#

infuriating

#

what even happened

waxen oyster
#

I mean to me

#

The best df set

#

was the shaman s3 one

nova kelp
#

s3 shaman was goated

#

or wolfed

waxen oyster
#

I forgot to farm it

#

now idk if you can even

nova kelp
#

I was nearly offended that that shaman set was so good

#

should be illegal

#

it's mail

#

that's not allowed

waxen oyster
#

Mail has like

#

one banger per decade

nova kelp
#

does it though? what was the decade 1 banger?

#

GIANTSTALKER!

#

lol

waxen oyster
#

I mean the best of og wow to me is

#

the ulduar hunter set

nova kelp
#

I'm trying to remember it

#

it can't come close to our "upface" set surely

waxen oyster
#

oops

nova kelp
#

oh yeah, ehhhhhh

#

it's ok

waxen oyster
#

I think the best mail mogs are usually

nova kelp
#

but it kinda outlines one of my major issues with non shaman mail

waxen oyster
#

just taking individual pieces from different sets

nova kelp
#

that's NOT "mail" armour

#

that's just temu plate

waxen oyster
#

Yeah mail rarely looks like mail nowadays

haughty flicker
waxen oyster
#

but with cosmetic gear its like

haughty flicker
#

people say mail is the worst looking armor, but thats mainly just the full sets

#

most sets have at least a couple good pieces you can use for transmog

nova kelp
#

honestly the best mail sets of recent times have been the outworld quest sets that go unreasonably hard

waxen oyster
#

I think for like one off pieces.

#

Mail has many good singular items

haughty flicker
#

yeah mail overworld sets have definitely gone hard recently

waxen oyster
#

What was that one

#

legion overworld chest

#

that got super used

#

the one that gives you chest tattoos kind of

haughty flicker

waxen oyster
#

Yeah thats the name

#

The set itself is lame

haughty flicker
#

that piece itself is very good

#

and the rest of the set is ass

waxen oyster
#

Whats the brown version

nova kelp
#

so much mail armour

#

look at all that mail

#

just covered in mail

haughty flicker
waxen oyster
#

oh i forgot the set name

#

idk if i bought it

waxen oyster
#

the warfront alliance gear of bfa s1

nova kelp
#

I'm telling you, wow mail is just shitty plate most of the time

#

like out of curiosity, where's the nathanos style sets?

#

so you can look like... idk... a hunter?

#

but instead nearly every option I have as a hunter has me stalking through the bushes looking like a 40k space mehreen

waxen oyster
#

Even sylvanas set is kinda

#

hefty?

nova kelp
#

this is a sick set

#

where's this at?

#

it has some bits of heavier looking armour, it doesn't look like leather, it doesn't look like plate armour

#

but it also looks like you could walk about without sounding like a bag of loose change

waxen oyster
#

hunter sets just look like

#

they skinned random animals

#

in the raid

#

shaman sets you sometimes get bangers, and sometimes you get 2 toilet bowls for shoulders

#

is it more worth to use 1 gem or many different with culminating blasphemite? when i sim it says i want to use only 1 gem, but when looking at logs i see ppl using different ones

nova kelp
#

I COULD HAVE HAD A BLOODBORNE HUNTER SET DAMMIT

nova kelp

That set isnt even a race one is it

I probably just never paid any attention coz one of them said "crit"

#

#

unironically - I realise it looks so bad it should be a joke, but it's not

cunning needle
nova kelp
cunning needle
#

thats kinda fast

nova kelp
#

getting to 160-170 isn't that hard, but speed as a stat curbs off FAST

cunning needle
#

is that including movespeed buffs from going into stealth?

#

without a trace or w/e ti is

nova kelp
#

not the temporary one no

haughty flicker
#

How do big speed

#

Me need

nova kelp
#

going in/out of stealth is annoying

cunning needle
#

damn

#

kinda impressive

nova kelp
#

but nightstalker for sure

#

or if you go OL and get the other one as well

#

I tend to always cultivate a speed set because I'm one of those losers who farms old shit all the time

#

the mount grind never ends

haughty flicker
#

I just got done running nyalotha

#

Need speed

nova kelp
#

oh god, thank fuck I got that mount on our kill

#

that hole can get screwed

#

I miss the speed sets we had a couple of expacs ago though, my warrior and hunter were like little sanics

#

zip zoomin

haughty flicker
#

I saw some wild hunter speed sets lmao

nova kelp
#

the best speed sets basically require legacy content though

#

doing current content makes things more difficult

#

wtf is this shit?

#

this is just going to giga encourage the highest level of brainlet gameplay from most people just to avoid

  • people still get run over when Vexie spawn
  • touching lightning adds on Carnage
  • not reaching correct amps in time during Rik's intermission
  • rolling balls into Stix before bombs
  • putting drills on wrong side of boss so we have to reposition before Locken knocks us back
  • touching bombs on Bandit
  • not LoSing ice behind walls/bombs on Mug'Zee
    We didn't have a lot of attempts on Gally but from the few we did I can see What The Boys Have Been Working On making our healers sweat every time.
nova kelp
#

imo - this might be a hot take
but I actually think there should be a freebie spot in a raid for a leader to have a real time free roam camera
actually implemented in the game

haughty flicker
#

eh

#

i think it would make guilds that really dont need a 21st man feel pressured into having one

nova kelp
#

21st man is good, and should be considered for an in game experience

haughty flicker
#

even if the guy doesnt want to do it

#

and if the guild does need/want a 21st man there are easy tools to allow that outside of the game

tawdry halo
#

Arent there like WAs that act as a teleprompter for RLs?

#

literally read the text on the screen?

nova kelp
#

but then relaxing that tuning upsets people too

viscid spear
tawdry halo
#

good point

#

Yes

nova kelp
#

the danger worm was shit

tawdry halo
#

VIVIDLY

nova kelp
#

and like that's kinda the point

#

imagine a 21st man with a freeroam able to mark things on the fly

#

that would be amazing

viscid spear
# tawdry halo Yes

There was a WA that put raid markers above your head. Our RL would then put matching raid markers down on four sets of eggs.
We still messed up more times than not

nova kelp
#

although, it's true, the mere exisitence of it probably incentivises the requirement of doing it, and also creates tighter tuning for bosses as a result

#

so

#

a;ldkjfldskfjadf ehhh

tawdry halo
#

yeah I think in your world, there are more ovinax bosses

tawdry halo
#

but WA bosses are trash

#

using a WA for prompts like "defensive here, get ready to move" is what I'm talking about

#

I feel like those exist

viscid spear
#

Lost count how many times "don't touch bombs" has been said over VC this tier thus far.
Applies to multiple bosses no less

haughty flicker
#

lots of bombs

nova kelp
#

idk, I just really hate these "gota rely on WA's" bosses

Man, our first attempt on Normal Vexie week 1 was a treat.
Once they found out you can drive the cars into her and get big meter damage, everyone was spamming to grab one.

I wonder if you could vanish just before the ball picking goes off to be taken off the list of potential targets.

tldr

#

Brother

#

just read it

umbral sierra
#

he trinket buffs are giga long, but only one to really care about on first glance is Junkmaestro's Mega Magnet, as we cheese it by casting it during lingering darkness for bonus damage, so a 20% buff is actually really strong

Assa Tuning Wise, we caught a buff, which is crazy imo, and we got a huge mutilate and ambush buff. Vicious Venoms is back on the menu for raids, but does not affect m+ builds at all, and the old 2 piece is dead so we're swapping to 4pc pretty much the moment we get it.

Across the board buff between 4-6%

Talent/Rotation Changes
Bleed build in m+ takes blindside over tiny toxic

For single target raid, vicious venoms is +0.7% by dropping imp gar, ma, and arterial for 2/2 vv and ttb. You can also keep arterial for the aoe instead of ttb, this would be +0.5%. This will be the preference on any fight with adds.

Fok conditions change slightly with Vicious Venoms Talented and the buff. The buff makes it so that blindside is +1 required target (so no blindside = 3, blindside = 4, m+ build with no blindside = 2, with blindside = 3). Vicious venoms then simply adds another +1 to all target counts. (clear the witnesses on 2+ still, fok to generate on 5+ with raid builds). With that being said however, you can clear your clear the witnesses buff in single target during lingering darkness still if you'd like, as this has shown to be neutral.

If you're on 6cp with darkest night, you should mutilate in single target with vicious venoms, fan of knives on 2+ targets.

In mythic+ we don't take vicious venoms, but bleed builds taking blindside will want to mutilate on 2 target. Hybrid doesn't take blindside and thus will still be casting fok on 2

wholey shit, you cant say it out loud

the entire spec being just kingsbane was not healthy

but i'd argue being envenom the spec is also not healthy

maybe kingsbane could do a little more of our damage lmao

nova kelp

to be fair, the entire spec being envenom isn't much better

I also agree

tawdry halo

what happened to bleeds in the bleed spec?

thats feral

to be fair the entire spec being a 2 min DM window wasn't much better

you can get bubbling wax from drops in floodgate

but they turfed the idea

learned that first week doing it on normal lmao

probably because they fired the rogue dev

he uses stealth+1

Woulda been cool but if they made it like you pickpocketed a thing and it was a perm item rather than a consume cos I’ve not once used or had in my bags or attempted to have bubbling wax this whole xpac fuck that

not a consume dealio

like a main rotational skill
