sick

#

should I be trying to like actively get more ruptures/garrotes out than I would in hybrid? idk if it's worth optimizing for a big SD number over splatter

earnest flume
#

would it be foolish to replace tiny toxic with SBS in bleed build for QOL? feel like im taking for ever to get my bleeds up, maybe skill issue

sacred schooner
#

not taking sbs in bleed kinda feels not right as it bleed as well

balmy condor
limber lion
#

I just ditch Kingsbane and take SBS instead

spice spire
#

Oh god

balmy condor

alright thanks I'll tell my friend the bad news

haughty flicker
#

what do i drop to take shadowheart

#

leech in stealth seems pretty good no?

dapper cradle
#

leech

versed gulch
#

Definitely. Just stack the bleeds and vanish and leech your way back to full

golden loom
#

vanish for the demise pop and heal to 10 billion overheal

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

i did yes

#

but ambush got buffed

balmy condor
#

Very good talent

haughty flicker
#

so i press ambush in stealth'

#

for the leech

sacred schooner
#

kek time

balmy condor
#

Yeah ambush buff is literally a 40% buff to shadowheart

#

Crazy

spice surge
#

I love talents that could use a 10x buff and still be bad

sonic schooner
#

eleem

#

i did some bleedy buildy today

spice surge
#

Final intent is great at this too

sonic schooner

shit is way better than it looks, fk kb now

golden loom

#

been tryna get some but my 15 prioriy got depleted in 15s cause tank scuffed first pull and perma rejection since LOL

sonic schooner
#

that s what i wanted to know

raven hill
#

😂 I've got to be the worst assassin rogue I've ever seen. Bout to just call it a day and go back to outlaw. My brain struggles opening with garrotes, like what mechanic am I missing how are we applying death mark if we aren't opening with ambush.

balmy condor
#

We are opening with ambush

vast shuttle
#

can u do a macro so i use trinket as same time as dm?

timber meadow
#

in practice i open with garrote a lot in aoe but thats just cause often the mob i wanna ambush isn't in the pull yet

raven hill
#

Maybe mobs are dying too fast but I don't feel like I'm getting any value out of caustic spatter with me trying to manage garrote/rupture on so many targets instead of ambushing a target.

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

/use 14 gamers

vast shuttle
balmy condor
raven hill
#

But improved garrote?

cerulean walrus
sacred schooner
#

you need to ambush once to get dn

balmy condor
#

It’s 6 seconds, 12 with subterfuge

coral ibex
#

(you also technically have 6 seconds to ambush with subterfuge)

balmy condor
#

Ye

vague raft
#

why is my sim spending at 4 combo points in CDs. is this normally?

coral ibex
#

just remember to do it

#

you gotta

golden loom
#

well technically 5 seconds

coral ibex
#

no mark is literally trolling

golden loom
#

cause if ur first global is something else

raven hill
#

Ahhhhhhhhhh so that's why sims show ambush coming out in the 6 second window.

real sinew
#

how big is saving tea charges for DM / raw shiv?

haughty flicker
sacred schooner
#

you run sc

timber meadow
haughty flicker
#

then pressed vanish and stance delay made me use mut instead of ambush

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

so no mark for 2m

#

gg

coral ibex
#

more than once on stix prog that fat fucker parried my opening ambush

vague raft
golden loom
#

I mean just ambush first global, way easier idk

balmy condor
raven hill
#

So let me clarify can I ambush first then spread improved garrotes?

coral ibex
#

yes

sacred schooner
#

nah you ignore it, sim is cooking

#

always 5cp and 7 for dn

balmy condor
#

I mean it’s not cooking

#

It’s just ignoring it

#

Its just how it evaluates combo points includes supercharged cp

raven hill
#

Do those improved garrotes after ambush still spread iron wire? So basically I'm considered stealthed for 6 seconds in general.

balmy condor
#

Yes

sacred schooner
#

yrs

coral ibex
#

you can spread iron wire for 12 seconds

sacred schooner
#

yes*

coral ibex

with subterfuge

you should read whispyr guid on wowhead

balmy condor
sacred schooner
#

there is plenty of info on most questions

raven hill
#

Y'all rock... I was struggling so much wrapping my mind around the aoe portion.

sacred schooner
#

even rotation :0

#

he did an insane job to explain stuff

coral ibex
#

you can also just send all of those garrotes into the same target

#

its fine

balmy condor
#

I could add logic to make it “not play around supercharger” and force it to go to 5 and go to 7

coral ibex
#

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

balmy condor
#

But I would have to force it to do that

young pebble

WoW says "Cast Shiv before Kingsbane if you have two charges, making sure you always have a charge for the last eight seconds of Kingsbane"

The typical M+ build forgoes the double shiv talent, so in this build do I still cast Shiv before Kingsbane or do I delay it so the Shiv window overlaps the last 8 seconds of Kings?

coral ibex
#

making sure you always have a charge for the last eight seconds of Kingsbane

gleaming bough

what build you guys running for keys 10 and under

sacred schooner

initial hit is mem in pve

gleaming bough

Any variation from the wowhead one?

Even well past +10 SMILERS

sacred schooner

vague raft
#

is it still a gain to send DN over refreshing rupture?

sacred schooner
#

i cant even get full kb in 12 below 10 just forget

#

;x

raven hill
haughty flicker
#

ive got dn for you to send right here

sacred schooner
#

kb just become bad 😦

coral ibex
#

i'm pretty sure keeping your DN cycling as fast as possible is always best

gusty mirage
sacred schooner
#

like i cant fully believe our "core" talent become bad

coral ibex
#

you shouldn't have to drop rupture to refresh DN

#

just refresh rupture one finisher earlier

#

to consume ur 3rd mark

#

that should always be in pandemic

golden loom
#

and even if its not in pandemic

vague raft
#

but it's not in pandemic, or it is but you drop envenom buff

golden loom
#

just refresh it at like 12 seconds whatever

vague raft
#

kk

sacred schooner
#

we need rework lol ;x move kb into skills and give us new talent

sonic schooner
#

intresting vexxie log

coral ibex
#

im confused at this question now

#

i thought you were talking like "refresh pandemic rupture or 7cp DN envenom"

sonic schooner
#

what is that 1mn dm cd

timber meadow
vague raft
#

I am

golden loom
haughty flicker
#

yeah the log is cursed

coral ibex
#

so pandemic on a 5+ cp rupture is like 7 seconds

sonic schooner
#

yea i guess

golden loom
#

hes not casting it in reality

#

its just logs cut together

coral ibex
#

there's no way it takes 7 seconds to go from consuming DN to refreshing rupture

#

in AOE

sonic schooner
#

that s fun

vague raft
#

I was talking about ST

#

i don't do keys as sin

#

I have a soul

golden loom
#

like u can see garrote silence there, he has spliced a dungeon log together with the vexie log

grim jay
sonic schooner
balmy condor
#

No shot lorrgs STILL has that log

sonic schooner
#

yea i figured it

#

still the #1 vexxie hero

balmy condor
#

What a dogshit website Jesus

#

Well yeah

#

On lorrgs

#

On warcraftlogs that log got banned legit weeks ago

hollow river
sacred schooner
#

haha

#

what a scam

#

so he merge flood into first boss?

#

how is it even possible

vast shuttle
#

anyone knows why its so fking hard do get into flood +7 lobby its crazy need to wait atleast 30min to get into one wtf is sin so bad?

coral ibex
#

rogue isn't meta

#

idk what to tell you

#

welcome to decline simulator

spice surge
#

But its like, wcl removes those almost instantly

#

Its just lorrgs that doesnt

#

No sin actually really really good

vast shuttle
runic inlet
#

Sin is amazing in keys

spice surge
#

But people in the top keys are playing mage+boomy+uhdk so its unfeasible to play with anything but those

runic inlet
#

Only key I like sub is theater and workshop

#

Maybe rookery too

vast shuttle
#

we are talking +7

#

its not even hard ffs

silk whale
#

srry to bother, does anyone have a weak aura group where it also shows rupture/garrote on nearby mobs? ty

coral ibex
#

that's not relevant information to track

#

just need scent stacks

vague raft
#

okay, maybe I'm just stupid and made a mistake, but within two globals I have to refresh shiv during DM window. at 4 CP, generate to 7, do I send the envenom, or refresh the shiv when at 7 CP and waste the 1 CP gain. I'm assuming send shiv anyway

sharp crest
#

Hey my doods, you guys know of any good WA's for bleeds? I have some decent visual WA's but ive been looking for something for rupture for example, i just want the WA to play an audio sound when rupture is about to fall off, i cant find anything to cover that and i suck at making WA's

vague raft
#

is this a symptom of a problem before? or just sometimes happens?

haughty flicker
#

idk man i just press shit

runic hinge
#

shiv combo point doesnt matter

vague raft
#

so send that shiv when it expires no matter your CP amount?

coral ibex
#

yes

vague raft
#

kk

runic hinge
#

yeah you want shiv to cover kb

coral ibex
#

you even shiv at 7cp if it is the right time

vague raft
#

also, going into KB windows, how important is it to have envenom buff going into it

runic hinge
#

very

vague raft
#

I heard you want to have envenom buff before pressing KB

coral ibex
#

correct

vague raft
#

why is that?

haughty flicker
#

envenom buffs poison application chance

vague raft
#

does it not like dynamically give you the buff>?

haughty flicker
#

kingsbane scales based on poison applications

coral ibex
#

why wouldn't you want 100% coverage of increased poison application chance, each instance of which increases your kb stack

#

the faster you get to max kb stacks the more damage it does

hexed pumice
#

damn just played one key on +12 and the bleed does feel nicer

haughty flicker
#

envenom first ensures you dont miss 1-2 globals worth of the buff

vague raft
#

so going KB > Enveom is like significantly worse than going Envenom > KB? what if I have no energy, envenom buff just expired, and KB just came off CD?

haughty flicker
#

and its not like you're doing anything else

vague raft
#

delay until I can envenom? or just send and be depressed?

haughty flicker
#

just dont have that happen

coral ibex
#

hold your envenom and pool to 150 then send envenom -> kb

limber lion
#

If KB is off cd, you just press it unless you know timings better

#

And know that holding won't cause a lost cast

vague raft
#

idk, it feels like there are weird times where I have to refresh rupture right before a KB window, so I have to spend all my energy getting a rupture off when I'm already running low, envenom runs out, then I don't have envenom for the KB just came off

limber lion
#

You just gotta play it better

#

And pay more attention

vague raft
#

where is the mistake though

haughty flicker
#

start watching your energy earlier

sacred schooner
#

just pool energy

limber lion
#

You not thinking about it 10s in advance

coral ibex
#

not seeing 30s into the future tbh

sacred schooner
#

wait a bit

limber lion
#

That's the mistake

#

You should be aware that KB is coming up and see that your Rupture is about to run out

#

And then playing accordingly

sacred schooner
#

it is inevitable

spice surge
#

Ruptures pandemic window is enormous

limber lion
#

It gets easier the more you play

coral ibex
#

the spec spins plates which requires prediction and anticipation

limber lion
#

It is massive yeah

spice surge
#

Its 10.5 seconds

vague raft
#

so should I have just refreshed rupture outside of pandemic? and then pooled before KB, sent the enveom then bang?

sacred schooner
#

eventually we will run out of energy on st

limber lion
#

Like you can honestly send a Rupture at like 12s and be chilling

golden loom
#

I think people make the mistake of only refreshing rupture at like 5 or 6 seconds

dapper cradle
#

i refresh rupture at 20 seconds

golden loom
#

if I see its at 14 seconds and I wanna do stuff

vague raft
#

yeah, I think that's probably my issue

golden loom
#

I just ruptuyre

spice surge
#

You can refresh rupture at 1s, or at 10s

vague raft
#

refreshing rupture late

coral ibex
limber lion
#

And you can surely build up to 5+ cp and use Envenom once in that time

vague raft
#

and then going oh fuck I can't envenom for KB

limber lion
#

Just get good weakauras that glow up when they're in pandemic

vague raft
#

i gotta go payphone and just vibe honestly

limber lion
#

So you don't have to think about the timings whatsoever

#

If it glows, press Rup

#

Very chill

golden loom
#

but also, as long as you press envenom then next global kingsbane, u dont really need to do more

#

all ur kingsbane ramping is autoattacks

#

so even if ur super energy drained its not the end of the world

limber lion
#

Well, not really but yeah

#

You don't need to pay extra attention

#

It's fine to reapply GarryD's and Ruppies during KB

vague raft
#

I actually have a question about pandemic in general that I don't know the answer to. it's based on the duration of the spell cast, so 5 CP has a smaller pandemic window than 7, yeah?

limber lion
#

Yes

#

It's 30% of the applied duration

#

So if you apply a 24s Rupture with 5cp

#

The pandemic is 7.2s

young pebble
#

Envenom before KB is in order to maximize poison applications to more quickly ramp up KB damage, yes?

limber lion
#

Yes

vague raft
#

I don't have to worry about snapshotting a strong garrote or whatever anymore right?

spice surge
#

The absolute vast majority of your poison applications for kb are from your melee auto attacks

vague raft
#

that was bc talent?

#

not overwriting a strong garrote or something

coral ibex
#

you can over-write an improved garrote with a standard, don't do that

vague raft
#

yeah

limber lion
#

Especially because in the raid build you don't even play IG

coral ibex
#

make sure your weakaura distinguishes between them

vague raft
#

yeah, I only play Sin on Mug'zee, so I don't run that

slim copper
#

we're fucking cookin now boys

#

thats no flask and before trinket

haughty flicker
#

wheres your speed at buddy

slim copper
#

lol

haughty flicker
vague raft
#

am I sending 3min KB before or after cages on Mug'zee

#

I got a chat GPT ass answer

#

and a glorp alien saying "idk i just hit buttons" last night

#

seems like there are gamers here now

slim copper
#

and youll get it again if you dont calm the fuck down and put some respect on Chad's name

haughty flicker
#

the answer is unironically hit buttons

vague raft
#

KB really don't matter anymore?

#

thought that was like all your dam

mighty vine
#

copy lorrgs timeline top parse into MRT and turn brain off. smile

golden loom
#

I mean if we are talking about mythic mugzee

vague raft
#

yes

golden loom
#

there arent a lot of ppl with experience here I think kekdog

haughty flicker
#

on mythic mugzee sin is there to do damage for the last 40% of the boss

golden loom
#

I think what Varas wrote earlier is probably best to follow

devout fiber
#

Is this the talent tree to play for high keys?

or do we stick with bleed?

#

+9's and above

young pebble
vague raft
slim copper
placid mist
#

Desynching kb and dm fucks your burst window

haughty flicker
vague raft
#

lmao

#

that's what I was kinda expecting

placid mist
#

So no need to worry about when you send solo kb

haughty flicker
#

you are holding damage anyway on mugzee

#

the cds that matter are the ones at the end of the fight

placid mist
#

^

vague raft
#

think it's just a send before cages angle, greed dam and step to far cage

#

thanks

golden loom
#

are u going into cage?

vague raft
#

yes

golden loom
haughty flicker
#

race change to velf

#

gg

vague raft
#

i am

#

I plan on velfing it

#

but i still wanna know if I wanna send before or after lmao

haughty flicker
#

wait well then whats the issue here

#

just shadowstep into soak last sec velf out

#

and continue as normal

vague raft
#

so start KB before, run into cage and velf out? then continue?

#

or just hold until after velf

#

was my question basically

haughty flicker
#

i think it genuinely matters so little you can do whichever one is more comfortable for you

vague raft
#

it kinda does matter though, because you push at like 5min on the dot

haughty flicker
#

what logs we do have are basically all using it the instant its off cd

vague raft
#

cages end at 3:20

#

err, you can velf out at 3:20

#

4:20 for next KB, then it's 20s off for the 5min burn

hearty reef
vague raft
#

or you just lose a cast at 4:20

golden loom
#

then u would surely send as it comes up

vague raft
#

I think it's a send a slightly scuffed one at 3min on the dot

haughty flicker
vague raft
#

to get the better one at 4

haughty flicker
#

some skip 4m some dont

#

probably depends on how your raid is doing specifically

vague raft
#

think it's a send slightly scuffed insta 3min angle

#

ty everyone

golden loom
#

just remember that the lingering darkness envenom does more than the lone KB

#

so its not that crazy

haughty flicker
#

envenom the spec

#

gg

vague raft
#

i don't even know how sin gets lingering darkness 🙂

haughty flicker
#

after deathmark

golden loom
#

after deathmark

vague raft
#

after DM?

golden loom
#

u have 30 seconds of lingering

vague raft
#

that 30s window of envenoms is more dam than the KB?

haughty flicker
#

the single dry shiv envenom at the end is more dam than kb

golden loom
#

no but shiving for a darkest night during lingering is

manic quartz
#

Got 33mil envenom on vex dmg amp kekdog

coral ibex
#

kb without dm is kind of ass

vague raft
#

wait, you're telling me you like cycle a natty shiv at like 40s?

golden loom
#

yes

#

u only shiv once for the solo KB

vague raft
#

then KB, shiv last portion

#

lmao

#

i had no idea

haughty flicker
#

ye

#

near the end of lingering darkness both shiv and dn will normally come up

golden loom
#

(if it doesnt line up though which can happen rarely, then u save it and shiv twice for KB)

haughty flicker
#

so you use shiv there instead of start of solo kbs

vague raft
#

hmmmm

haughty flicker
#

and then you get dopamine

vague raft
#

think I'm just gonna do the old faithful and shiv 2x every KB lmao

#

i am not comfortable enough on this spec

#

lmao

golden loom
#

yeah I mean its a minmax for sure

vague raft
#

bro why can't you do hero talent and multiple spec load in WA's btw

static glacier
haughty flicker
#

its not a huge difference ye

#

and if kb would spatter adds when the dn envenom wouldnt it could even be better to use shiv for kb

static glacier
#

Some fights if the kb shivs align better with aoe ill prefer avoiding the dry shiv

#

Minmax

vague raft
#

think on Mug'zee it's probably better to 2x shiv

#

at least for the 1min KB

#

since cages

#

could be wrong

golden loom
#

on some fights it lines up though that you get adds and shiv darkest night at the same time

#

where its EXTRA dopamine

haughty flicker
#

most logs are doing the dn shiv but with a sample size of 18 that doesnt really tell us much

#

lmao

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

oh yeah true

#

shiv cant go through the gaols

#

so it doesnt help

balmy condor
#

yeh

haughty flicker
#

wait so ttb is the play on mugzee for sure instead of ap right

#

not that it matters much either way

golden loom
#

surely you want the bleed dam from AP for burn

balmy condor
#

probably AP just for execute

haughty flicker
#

fair

#

i didnt think about that but ye it would do more execute huh

vague raft
#

oh does spatter only do big dam if Shiv is on them or something?

#

i have no idea how spatter works

balmy condor
#

works like blade flurry

golden loom
#

unless of course the targets taking spatter damage ALSO are shived from AoE shiv

balmy condor
#

also true for any damage amps and stuff

haughty flicker
#

works the same way with ghostly strike and bf ye

balmy condor
#

all target-based modifiers only work on the target receiving spatter

vague raft
#

oh really? I actually didn't know that

balmy condor
#

so if you deal more damage, more spatter

#

if they take more damage, not more spatter

vague raft
#

i figured it would just take a portion of the damage dealt to main target and go to everyone

#

so if main target is shiv'd everyone is shiv'd

#

if that makes sense

balmy condor
#

would be nice, yes

vague raft
#

but then I guess AoE shiv wouldn't be a thing lmao

balmy condor
#

but also would open up an insane can of worms

vague raft
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

the example I always like to give is say you have 2 targets that both take 100% more damage

#

like if the intermission on carnage, they took 100% increased

#

if it works the way you thought it did, you would deal more damage to the target you're not hitting

vague raft
#

yeah if it worked my way, the bosses would blow up lmao

haughty flicker
golden loom
#

target swapping to Hyenas on stix to spatter boss pepe_chad

haughty flicker
#

with pc and some other shit in 2t the off target takes more damage

balmy condor
#

it's precisely equal unless I'm missing a bug

haughty flicker
#

idk much about it i was just reading them talk about it

balmy condor
#

but that pc 2t thing was something that was talked about

#

with people

haughty flicker
#

i try to avoid outlaw in general but soemtimes they do funny things

vague raft
#

hmmm, how do I hit a dummy and test my damage vs sim. dummy goes into execute range

#

is there a giga dummy somewhere?

waxen oyster
#

So wait what does arterial do

haughty flicker
#

it turns shiv into chain lightning

golden loom
#

aoe shivs and makes bleeds also do more damage @waxen oyster

waxen oyster
#

but the poison dam increase doesnt spatter gain

#

i guess

golden loom
#

well it does

#

cause the targets getting spattered take more nature damage by being shived

haughty flicker
#

the things getting hit with the lightning shiv all take more nature damage

#

so they take more spatter damage

vague raft
#

it's crazy to me that TTB and AP are the same in damageon Mug'zee or something. just reading them you would think AP is better since Sin is bleed spec, but apparently not?

waxen oyster
#

i thought it was only main spatter target took more

vague raft
#

like Shiv damage is beans, no?

waxen oyster
#

thus anything near got hit harder as a result

golden loom

well TTB is also a minor energy save

wtf

#

i mean it was weird it worked that way to begin with

balmy condor
balmy condor
golden loom
#

but when adds are out -> you shiv with arterial -> they get hit with shiv -> you now have a max of 8 targets taking 30% more nature damage -> spatter damage is increased because it hits targets taking more nature damage @waxen oyster

waxen oyster
#

envenom the spec

haughty flicker
#

envenom the spec

#

at least its ct the spec in bleed

waxen oyster
#

oh so baseline shiv nature increase

golden loom
#

if you have shived the boss before adds are out though, you have 1 target taking 30% more and 7 targets taking normal damage -> the spatter does not do more

waxen oyster
#

doesnt buff spatter splashing

haughty flicker
#

ye

waxen oyster

in other words

been playing around something that doesnt exist in raid

haughty flicker

wait what do you mean it doesnt exist in raid?

waxen oyster

prior to patch assumed

the main spatter target taking more during shiv

would also spatter harder

There’s no condition for non-deathmark

turns out the sim does goofy things when you dont have your main cd

Didn’t optimize for that

balmy condor

I spent like 2 min making that build (2 min I will never get back)

although iono sudden demise itself didn't seem omega despite the build itself feeling like it was cranking more

Should i wait to that bar?

balmy condor

No

You can turn off your envenom tracker

Okay, thanks

just take tight spender instead

golden loom

Inevitable end without coldblood is the real damage gain though

#

idk if that is even possible ingame

haughty flicker
#

ok but like

#

what if i actually do my weekly 10s dropping dm for iw

timber meadow
#

my prio on knight was bigly though (or pugs just suck more tham me but it felt solid)

vague raft
#

i hate exploiters, 6 people in an M+ group

#

this is getting out of hand

timber meadow
#

also top prio on captain

haughty flicker

i assume not having a cd makes signet lose value

#

maybe i replace it with magnet

#

wait but no lingering darkness

shiat this seems good

does fatebound lose less than deathstalker for not having dm

#

because of lingering

#

and is it enough to matter

thats some nice tanking tbh

good build

#

good dam

waxen oyster
#

alternatively

#

you can swap a talent out for ttk and pretend doing 1.31m dps instead of 1.3m dps is a huge st gain

thorn thorn

ok the sim loves mister lock n stalk instead of priory

@balmy condor so at first i thought the bleed build was just insane but then realized i was like at or near max eye stacks for like 20-22 minutes straight. we will try again but it did feel sick regardless. really good prio and felt pretty good when dm was down even

Rik Reverb Barrels (and similar spread cleave in raid)

  • Not your problem.
  • Assassination is the worst target swapping spec in the game, and we have no tools available to deal with the situation of priority spread cleave. Caustic can reach sometimes but similar to fire mage, the boss needs to be on top of the adds, causing caustic to often be out of range.
  • If you're truly hellbent on swapping to barrels, hold your nearest darkest night and just slam a darkest night envenom into them and pray. If you're quick enough you can also pool combo points/energy and cast a rupture on a barrel to try and caustic off of them. This still will not do good barrel damage, again, the spec is doomed for it
  • Another possible option would be talenting into Crimson Tempest by untalenting Bone Spike and Doomblade. This CAN TECHNICALLY provide a bit of barrel damage, but the spawns need to be immaculate and any difficult spawns will just result in no barrel damage again.
    With all that, the best advice we have for swapping barrels:
  • Swap to Subtletly.

Yo guys. I was playing bleed build and I was in Floodgate on the trash pull after the fish downstairs. We were fighting the 6 mobs there without the big one that sleeps. I think my Shiv pulled him with the aoe talent, even tho he wasn't infight. Is that possible?

spice surge
#

It shouldnt pull unless he already was in combat but maybe

#

The range is huge so if you were tanking it somewhat close

lost wharf
#

I'm like 80% sure I did. He did have Shiv and I think I had aggro for a sec. Idk if it was a big coincidence tho

Are there other classes/specs similar to assa rogue? I like the DOTs, satisfying rotation (apart from deathmark), slower pace, cool theme. If there is similar I might try for an alt.

for heroic gally as assa, is it worth running more cleave or just simply our new ST build with caustic?

On the topic of pulling things, I was pulling all sorts of things in dungeon with one of those catch up trinkets from the siren isles last season, it was crazy. I had to take it off.

#

I did my vault runs today. All in Floodgate. I never really bothered pressing Deathmark on trash, because I kind of forgot/didn't care for the single target damage on an add that probably insta pops. I know it's not ideal, but I was kinda brain afk. In the last key I remembered, that that button actually also triggers my on-use trinket xd

Deathmark doubles your garrote and rupture, so it doubles the demise
