well umm... they exist and were removed from renown track

thats all
imagine not be renown capped already
just do world quests
and trash piles and whatever
Is this new bleed build stronger than the hybrid in m+?
and kill elites
Does it scale better on higher keys
imagine not being exalted with darkfuse
about the same
Any point of playing it if im uswd to the hybrid
Is it a smoother playstyle
In 15+
you have to test that
less boss damage for more aoe
see what works best
man got my hopes up there for a sec
about the same even in high keys 14+?
something like UDK
you have to test that,i havent played my rogue yet in 14s,cant rly testify an opinion
no clue what the numbers say, but it doesnt sound right 
do the sims say that though?
i need numbers please
sims say they are close ye
its been like that
I thought bleed pulled ahead ST wise due to zoldyck/blindside
Kingsbane is weak AF right now, I'm getting very comparable numbers ST in bleed than I did on hybrid
they even out eventually one has KB one doesnt bleed is slightly ahead ye but not like CRAZY OMG AHEAD
Same, I'm getting similar numbers with bleeds in ST to what I was getting with hybrid
But I'm obviously also getting better trash damage with bleed
yhea i just did a lower key with bleed'
So overall - better
Legit bleed build has me enjoying m+ rn and I'm normally a m+ hater
the boss damage seems lower than hybrid but keeps up
Shits fun
That said, those numbers are for 10-12 keys, not 14+, so your mileage may vary
thats very true
Normally I'd just begrudgingly do my 10s for vault and never touch it again for the week
Now I'm chilling
Life is good
Not play wow

play path of exile or mapplestory
or RAID
I also have an alt that I'm trying to gear up but that's on an 'if I can be arsed' thing
i enjoy more playing arenas with the homies
I just never enjoyed pushing, I wanna chill man
but ye,we arent 24/7 online all together
my guild killed this dude thursday
ill be probably killing him tomorrow
took a while
First night of it last night, it doesn't work well for how our guild functions.
lool
Normally we operate a 'have a core group of mechanics players do the important shit and let the maniacs do whatever' strategy
Which, doesn't work
When balls are randomly allocated
lmao
makes sense
fucking balls arent that hard dude
eat trash
eat add > go boss
I find them alright
eat bomb > go boss
especially for the repeat offenders
Didn't help
so happy the weak aura sht fiesta goes away next patch
weak aura this weak aura that
F off already
we will have significally less
i wont 
im planning on insta turning it off
i dont enjoy playing with alot of wa's anyway
I recrafted a chestpeice, from crit mastery to crit vers, so I could play with it on outlaw as well, and it somehow simmed better on assa. would that be a sign of me having too much mastery? like i hit the dr?
!stats
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.
- Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
- Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
Sap what if blizzards implementation is just bad
Half an hour pre stix spent making sure everyone had the auras installed
thats so mfkin' cringe
same for DF
Ye it wasn't fun times
I'm hopeful it'll be an option for a lot of players. WA's will just be straight up better, no question. but having an in-built option that Blizz can keep refining is just good
there is no way to do a sim where you set a desired lvl of haste or mastery? as an example.
Hopefully things like the swirly visual change expand. Ff14 can have complicated boss mechanics without weakauras due to visual.design
So, maybe they go that route
Yeah, I hope so. The swirly changes were really good.
stix didnt take long to set up for us, had no issues. but I just had a seizure when I first got a ball. soo much stuff on my screen
stat weight but its irrelevant and outdated way of siming,also very dangerous coz ''weight'' changes with every gear u equip
Although I think they should just do less in general.
Swirly changes are glorious
also sin doesnt care for stats,literally
was thinking more of like outlaw needing 20% haste
well its not optimal to play the pirate with mastery anyway
and even if u dont for sin u would still make less dmg on both
idk im playing outlaw for raid and assa for m+. I just wanna be able to play both. kinda atm. Still playing 39% mastery on outlaw
TBF it barely functions WITH the haste breakpoint sometimes
Hopefully blizz shows it some love
Help those guys out a bit
The spec ain't for me but I want the people who enjoy it to have it be decent
yeah why not
To be fair outlaw is one of the least played specs in the game currently
not exactly taken by surprise by this
ive tested it out
it feels rly bad
Atleast more than 13 sub players
I like outlaw, but it always feels bad to be capped on AoE,it doesn't even feel that strong with fewer targets since it lacks large burst, and then it doesnt even have very good funnel or prio damage compared to the other rogue specs
But it does have good single target in its m+ build and it almost never feels like it doesn't have any damage
😅
aint no way ppl play sub with sin being like this
sin is flexible,does dmg
well not as much ST as Sub but quite nice overalls
I mean there are almost the same amount of raid parses for sub and sin over the last 2 weeks
outlaw never has raid parses
Well I’ll plan to play more bleed sin after reset in atleast 4 keys
People rarely rais as outlaw unless it's significantly better, especially since it has a really bad raid dps profile
i mean outlaw has seen 4 out of 7 bosses

but ya the spec is cringe and needs a facelift
more like a total body restructure
unfort it might not be the face lift the majority of outlaw players here would want
its unaccceptable that a spec like that exists
rogue in general is very unpopular for alot of reason
alot of it cause a lack of cool visuals
visuals attract alot of people
What is happening to the weak aura?
most cooldown tracking wont be needed
blizzard embodies a cd tracker on the game
means less things to track with WA's
I think it has more to do with the fact it's hard to convince someone to play a class that is hard locked into melee dps
It's an alternative. Their own solution is strictly inferior to WA's. It's.. really not that good yet.
But it has potential.
The cooldown tracker is coming on reset?
i track you 
or sometime later
11.1.5
ah
like, do you mean deathmark cd?
cause that is literally already trackable
on your fucking bars
uhuh deleted, energy normalized so adr can drop without you being turbo fucked, gsw turned into a execute to compete with crackshot, gs changed with literally anything, killing spree fixed or changed to bladerush or changed into literally anything else that wont kill you, multiple bugs fixed and the spec buffed to accomidate the large amount of % loss from bug fixes, ss having bad luck protection (most important)
im sure theres more
but like
Looking at bars for cds is based
you can fix outlaw without fucking its new core rn
heck i was on the "delete crackshot" cause i didnt believe vanish bugs could be fixed. but they fixed it and its not cringe anymore
oh i guess un capped bf? thats a popular one
uncap everything
you still need bleed trackers, energy bar, cp bar, an envenom tracker
some people get fucking kb tracker dmg
if youre using WAs youre not gonna stop using WAs
new ingame weak auras dont have a sound telling u when a thing is off cd
afaik
so i consider it a poop and wont change from my wa kit
It's a good alternative and system for people who don't use WA's or don't want to. But WA's are just so much more flexible and versatile.
it's cool to see though, imo.
Just like most Blizz things: more time to cook.
I mean, their reason for capping AoE no longer makes sense when other classes can do great single target and better cleave than those classes and also have uncapped AoE
well yeah the game has changed since then
hard caps should be removed from the game
majority of specs have soft caps
cept warrior but fuck htose guys
But blizzard gets stuck in its ways sometimes
They get set on bad ideas needing to stay for no real valid reason, like covenants
if i dont have a Cat Meow everytime DM comes off Cd, why even play
Big true
Personally I usually use the WA mostly to track mark, shiv during KB, caustic timer, sometimes for CDs but I feel my eyes usually go down to bars and I automatically look at base UI combo points cause im used to that

yes
I think it will be nice to have a built in option, but it is so fast to set up an aura that does what the blizzard ones do that I can't see myself switching unless the ingame system becomes better in some significant way
Or they ban WA
Can't see them banning WAs
Even did the delves
Nuhuh
Damn
please usable myth track
The dream
*Catalyst-able you wanted to say 
9 rings inc
I was staring on my screen running laps in dornogal yesterday evening because I cba doing delves 
Pls no more catalyst able items I'm still waiting on another catalyst charge for my gloves
I'd take ring, I don't have a myth ring
I'm literally sitting on gilded crests
cause I don't have myth track gear to upgrade
I don't wanna be 2 weeks behind on catalyst
Whispyr is it ever viable to replace Circlet? If it was a Myth ring
no
whisp wrote Cyrce is ~20 ilvl above any myth ring is nuff said
You get a myth track raid vault 😦
it's just straight up like 600 stats more than a 678 ring
wasnt this the week we are able to craft second emblishment???
more depending on your mast I guess
third
ye
What would you like from delves the most?
a reason to exist
if it is. why do i only have one shard???
So when we get dinars will myth Jastor take the other ring slot and then we never touch rings until next tier?
Delve warband background 
ye
according to icy veins
You do your world soul weekly?
Using Bleed build in ST, is it worth using your 2 out of DM shivs on darkest night or big who cares just send?
you get it same time as everyone else do
ya the 100 shard quest
Bet the 15 is overtime 
wish my internet didn't skullfuck me
we were over by 1:05 with 8 deaths and a mage doing 1 mil less than the other 2 dps

Prot war is broken
yeah prot war is super broken until any mechanic occurs that cannot be blocked or spell reflected
why the fk isnt shadowstep on gallywix fixed yet 
and then it's a wet pile of lint
I suppose I should’ve said his damage specifically
I mean who cares about the damage if your tank is dying to melee attacks in a 16
Today in Cinder +11 I thought shadowstep would help me 2 times, both times I got hit and died when I shouldn’t have
Never using that for dodging ever again
3rd boss motherlode does magic damage with her auto attacks
every time she autos
the prot war sees his life flash before his eyes
cause he just gets obliterated
Every time I shadowstep into a charging guy I think "I ain't doing that again"
unblockable magic damage auto attack
I'll do it again
You right 
Step your frens
im sure theres a way to stop it right?
like ignore pain
i dont wariror
but even then vdh better
You have the spell block thing but that's only up for like, 1/3 of the time
cause its like bdk but if bdk fucked a prot warrior and spawned better utility
for some godforshaken reason
well back in the day she did a giga magic dot that i think you could spell reflect
god
why did vdh became meta for the 4th season in a row
get me out of this hell hole
Embrace mantra, join the BM monks in their solitude
Third boss motherlode still seems weird to me. Like, what's point in clearing the floor gunk if it despawns anyhow
i dont want to open a log and see the reason fotmer is doing 0 threat and dying every 2 seconds is cause they didnt spec into key talents
imagine
Sometimes blizzard just launches a targetted attack on certain tanks like healing reductions for BDK, magic damge for prot warrior, or Brewmaster for Monks
looking at a 40% dr wall that lasts 20+ seconds and spreads to uncapped amounts of targets, while allowing you to do 40% more damage thus more sustain and healing
and saying
"its bad cause yoda said so"

wait are you talking about vdh or assa
You can spell block it
yeah for 30 seconds
and what do you do the next minute
Contemplate life choices
Make an alt on other window
fuckk bitchessss
I mean you actually just need to block 1 auto between casts
Like it is doable
What do you have battlerez for
yeah but it's insanely fucking cringe
First BL pull xD
in our 15 we just do the boss
It is
and the tank hp goes 100->20 insta
Fun fact
for legit no reason other than xd prot
embrace the light
Like it just ignores your death strike shield
embrace the paladin
remember the big dragon mob in mists maze?
monk stagger didnt work for that one
so brewmaster was literally face tanking it with no mitigation
palatonk spellwarding,minibubble,calling angels from the sky
massive of heals
hofs
hojs
do i need to say more
I have to play cringe paladin then
Nono, wait, I’m still picking which one of the 10+ different mitigations I will choose
also never care about stops anymore
Give me a sec
tank balance is actually horrid tbh
another 100 in the books 😎
Wait untill Aug will be changed to a tank spec
Ive heard VDH is kinda alright in keys

Huge lfr parses
has those sigils now,alot of sielnce but still palatonk better
too much utility and stuff
plus the light compels you mfker

Cuz sigils have a CD unlike SHIELD BETCH
Yeah you're right VDH is probably trash tier
as im getting older im considering swithcing to tonk
palatonk looks nice
Palatonk is my fav tank, when you go into a pack without any def up, you just trip and fall over as soon as the first basic attack
It is quite funny to see
My thoughts exactly
I personally took the Brewmaster pill
And cannot complain actually
I just dabble in some bear tanking occasionally. Or to rephrase it, my guild found out I can tank on my druid and now I can't fucking escape.
A nice alt experience
I just wanna cat man
Always wondered how MoP felt like, so I play BM monk now
im either bear or pala pov for tanking,maybe war
since im a mfkin alpha
but ye idk,will see
for now mage
sigil of chains
needs to fucking die
im never inviting a vdh to motherload ever again
fuck that
no ive played alot of pvp as a mage in previous expansions,idk its just my luck on this alt,i breathe and loot everything
idk
something's srsly wrong with my mage
Honestly arcane or nothing
im frost currently,its rly fun and easy
Yea that is also fair I suppose
Indeed very fun and easy
Arcane has a slight bit more nuance to it, but once you understand it isnt hard
And the burst phase is insanely juicy
yeah
the windows are actually nuts
sht gets deleted
like u go on ML and pop cds on 1st boss,its gone
what ilvl do i need for mythic raids?
ive came to realize that pugging as a rogue is actually self harm
Might be true xD
655-ish maybe a bit more
doesnt expect to top the meters though
aint happening
well ranged is easier
655 only?
Hell naw, speak for yourself
i tought u needed maybe 665
its quite literally the case for every dps player I know of
Well I don’t think so
665 is the average ilvl of a raid killing mythic gallywix like 2 weeks ago
I mean yeah
people are clearing the raid at that ilvl
you don't need anywhere near that much
Gonna start big
I mean you probably need higher ilvl than the average raiding guild if you are just gonna pug tho
just to get accepted into groups
According to Preach Richard Reverberations=Gallywix
average should be like 658-660 at best
buddy why are you even ever listening to a person not playing the game
u can 662 prolly with bad management even
never played pve before started about one week ago iam at 2.3k rating now. but when i did normal and then switched to heroic raids the bosses get new spells?
We have 2 boomies and boomies are 8th and 9th on add damage 
yes, they get new abilities with higher difficulties
and mythic is even harder!
sounds as cursed as our breakdown on richard was
I almost beat one for the boomies for damage to bombshells above 80%
As fucking sin
Sir how
You hit starfall then go afk
idk how you can be below like 666 unless you have no mythic gear from not doing your vault
bruh did the heroic mug zee and i rlly tought that was already hard
lol
665 but vault decided 'nah, you're getting 3 shit mythic trinkets week 1'
So I took heroic mechanocore instead and it's fine
one bad week doesnt kill you
yeah thats 15 less crests
I already had a socket week
yeah even not playing the game makes u 662
means u can enter mythic raiding pretty much
I could get 666 but I'm holding off spending crests on upgrading a hero track item til I see what the vault has tomorrow
Me when I see Kujos and some other dogshit in my vault week 2
It hurts
imagine not having upgraded hc gear(i was on gallywix and no mythic gear to upgrade)
It's on 658 but the second I upgrade something I'll get it on mythic on the vault. Holding it til tomorrow so I can work around vault
I only used mythic crests for trinkets so far
and mythic pieces/crafts

i crafted a chest cause it was my biggest upgrade. cursed ass tier
if vault screws me I'm unironically sending crests to 6/6 hero
... that'll also be my play
and what do I do with the other 90 crests
yeah ez pz
There is no way vault screws me this week
I am definitely getting HoC or BIS from vault
There is no chance I don’t
I’ve got my biggest vault of the season so far so I’m guaranteed rubbish
Nothing can compare to week one signet from my one myth slot
I'm kind of resigned to using the dinar on a myth house of cards, got a champ track one from raid so I ain't getting the hero track one any time soon
I think dinar has to be eye or jastor for me
Idk on which items i'll use my dinars on
I have a HC one so the only way I get mythic is vault or dinar
jastor or HOC i'll say
I don’t really wanna use a dinar on it tho
Is it 3??
So don’t quote
not like you will be free from mug'zee before they come out anyway 
But I believe it’s 3
That’s toxic
We got to 3rd soak last night

"We're getting 3" - Ronkley, 2025
soon done with the HC mechanics then
purple name said so
I aint even begining MM rn
write it down

It’s funny first say I am like “damn we’re doing quite well and making good progress on day 1”
I can’t wait to continue wiping at the same point for 2 weeks
I think we’ve only seen it once
not from normal, hc, mythic
most fights arent even consistently long enough for eye at that point anymore
imo
so its really jastor vs hoc
Even more from a M+ standpoint
it sucks for m+ either way
It’s too hard to keep stacked
unless you got a tank / group dedicated to have it running
yes thats why its HOC or jastor

@earnest remnant where are you guys on Mugzee now
Have you been on it a week was it?
zacs was best eu
real
damn you're near

think we played a bit too sloppy early on, on the boss
but last 2 raids have been pretty good
Have you seen the new hotfix ?
Do you force yourself to a gaol with the body of your character or is always enough with the spatter from the boss?
now we can skip to mugzee or bandit
yesterday was my first night on mugzee, i was putting lot of dmg (more than ignite) but just in case im asking if there is an optimization
Will The bleed build overtake current build in raid situation?
wym
next balance patch kingsbane 50% nerf envenom 50% buff
Aah i see! Thanks!
lul
crazy
I`m seeing people run Zoldyck Recipe and Arterial precision instead of Amplifying poison, poison bomb and dragon-tempered blade
Is this the new meta or what?
thats the bleed build
atm seems better than hybrid
What's ur biggest Sudden executes?
What about single target? I play mostly m+
Slight increase
Zoldyck and blindside good
By slight increase I mean our st in m+ is still not great but ye
Getting free ambushes feels infinitetly better
Hybrid
Theres practically no difference in damage profile
Fair enough
I also assume the rotation in ST feels less worse thanks to blindside, right
It still ain't great but nothing much changes ST wise other than keep CT up
Common misconceptions about bleed builds:
- no KB= less ST damage
- Zoldyck+SD=trash mobs killer=no prio damage

Blindside helps though, still a bit energy starved a bunch though
Yes

It's the middle ground between them, a binch
Got 99 problems but a binch ain't one
At least I will feel good when I get blindside procs
And feel even better in zoldyck window
More blindside





Can someone talk about bleed build shiv usage in aoe? Once I have all the bleeds out with 5 rupture and CT, I start pressing Shiv and rotation as normal?
Or wait until 35% health to press Shiv?
How do ya'll dea with chaining?
Vanish, or just use energy from bleeds on previous pack to quickly set up on new pack
And with only 1 charge when i spec into iron wire?
on cd
Don't spec iron wire 🤷🏻♂️
NGL bleed build deals a bit better with tanks that leave a single low hp mob up and then go next, demise helps
I'm struggling to bring the dps to 4m, to go above 5m dps on a big pack aswell
Maybe not having 4 set pieces is fking me up
But I don't think its just that
Depends on key level, what key it is, what comp you are running and your gear
For example
4 mil is ok on priory
4 mil dps in ToP is...
Well if you manage to somehow do 4mil in a top colour me shocked
4 piece doesn't make that much difference
At keast from what i've seem
It depends on the tank as well like so mcuh
Could be wrong
So its probably some mistake on my part, gonna start logging and comeback
Do you mean 4m overall, or 4 m while in a big pack?
Also
How high is casutic spatter on your dps meter
If you are playing hybrid it should be ahead by miles iirc
Because 4m overall is decent, struggling to hit 4m with 8+ mobs around you is not decent.
What if the mobs die in 2 seconds because you have 2 rets for some reason
Jkjk
I get what you mean
Both, kekw, I usually get to 4~5m on bigger packs, but struggle to go beyond
And my overall is 2m on a 7~9 key
You can do higher
You running bleed yeh?
No, old poison
5m on a big pack is
Sorta like S1 numbers
At least in keys where mobs live for a bit
Ohhh
Change to bleed, it's so much easier and does big numbers in aoe
Or if in hybrid you can still do big numbers on a pack, just gotta blast a kingsbane every now and then
And by 'every now and then' I mean ON COOLDOWN
iif youre finding youre wasting time maybe changing targets to spread bleeds just spam them on one target and they will spread themselves, not as efficient but it will do the job
Im a bit confused. Do bleed builds also work at higher keys, and what is in this context a 'higher key'?
But bleed is just better right now, not by a lot when they're both played perfectly, but bleed is a lot easier to play
Isn't kingsbane a st cd? I do blow it on packs tho, even the other 2min cd
Yea
Hybrid still does more damage in higher keys right
Like
When you get past 13s or smth
Might need to check with whispyr
spatter
Fuck knows, I don't bother beyond 12!
Whispyr is still playing it at 14 and up i think
Yeah, kingsbane with a shiv for the last 8 seconds splashes NICE with caustic
Bleed or hybrid?
Bleed
Yes
nah, blizz nerfed kb into the ground
kingsbane outside of Deathmark does less dmg then a DN envenom
This doesn’t work no I thought it just refreshes the bleed
Blast is on every pack, as long as you have caustic spatter going it's just free damage
Yea the highest assa keys i've seen so far are running hybrid from what i've seen
Make sure your punchbag has lots of health left though because you want the last few ticks go BIG and the first ones don't
Highest yes, but i've seen assa rogue do it at 15 even 16
ven, you know how it Works
Yeye

Both play like near identical rota wise
True
I mean casaul isn't on any of the ones i saw
He plays neither bleed or hybrid
He plays his own build XD
He plays, induction build with ttk
Seen zerross and 叶落小红手 mainly
I know that second guy
That's his actual name
Hi ven
Also yeye hi royal!!
Yesterday I had dinner with guild members / guild master
It helps most of us are from the same city
dont let bro cook
I wanna gear my destro but they low ilevel
So i'd need to leech of guldies
Also realisation i might not complete my trench mog for a week or so
You are implying wow does something good to your body in any sort of way
It does
It made me rethink my existence, that's why I went to the gym last year
Did I also quit gym? Yes
But that's besides the point
I've started doing exercise every day
All I need is to become a dad to lose weight
Like i still do workouts
But i do a few sets of things before my day
Not as much as a workout, but it's still better than nothing
that made me laugh mate 
Hehehehe
Royal is too busy hunting monsters to care about the gym
I've started running and why do I do this to myself
So you don't die by 35
I spent 38 minutes on the treadmill on Friday and it's boring as shit.
I've had to resort to audiobooks to make me not fall asleep
God no if I install it on my phone I'm done
when should i drop shiv when playing bleed build?
Casual has played both and a mix of his own. He played a 16 a few days ago on bleed.
Honestly, it’s pretty much at the point where you can play what you want tbh. Bleed, Hybrid, and any mix you can think of has been played in 14 - 17 keys and preformed well.
Shiv doesnt increase spatter damage
(unless you have arterial precision which cleaves the shiv ofc)
is our "aoe" rotation start at 3 or 4 targets?
I usually do it on DM, when Nature dmg increase drops after DM, and then under 35% cuz of Zoldyck.
You can choose your prefference, just don’t hold 2 charges for too long 
Depends your talent. With the MM+ build, 2+ target. In ST build, 3+
Ok, but for FoK we only use it on ST to clear the clear the witness proc and on 4 or more targets?
bleed build is 3 targets for mut/ambush
Wait really?
I see the wowhead guide says to prioritize crit over mastery now. Makes sense for the vicious venoms changes, but wouldn't we still want mastery for the bleed build?
I need to go watch whispyrs video again. It’s early and I’m tired sorry for asking redundant questions. But get rup on all targets in pack along with garrotes and the FoK envenom spam correct
!stats
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.
- Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
- Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
Missed it, idd
you rupture for scent on hybrid and more with the bleed build
And it's on the wowhead guide
Only apply for hybrid build then
anyone know any script for plater that changes the color of the nameplate if they have rupture/garrote
So, in poor man’s English, just maintain a few and go with it?
Oh shit, I've just re-read it and yeah it doesn't increase poisons just bleeds 🤦
how do we use tea with the bleed build, still with shiv ?
But if you only hit one target, it only increases the nature damage that target takes, not all other targets
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
But CS causes 40% of poison damage to splash, so if my poison damage is higher because of shiv.... More spatter.
Say you do a 100 envenom, that would spatter 40 damage and do 100 damage to your main target
40% of 100 is less than 40% of 130
the target that is shivved takes more damage, you dont deal more damage
Now you have shiv, you do a 100 envenom, that spatter 40 damage and then it gets the shiv damage and does 130 to your main target
Then arterial would make it so you would spatter 67
With your logic on something like silken court with arterial you would do a 100 envenom, it would hit the main target for 100 x 2 x 1.3 = 260, then it would spatter 104 and then get amped to 270
Which would be very weird
boss damage amp
but another example would be cauldron, they take more damage during charge right?
Oh yeah, after the charge
They do not

Opener of bleed build in AoE is applying bleed to all targets and casting shiv?

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.

yay 😄
All the gameplay differences are mentioned in the pin 
It generally isnt much different
Will bleed build work on every +12/14 dungeon or are there some for which it is better to choose a hybrid?
You can keep momentum for like +1% ST
Smaller demise though 
Hero talent change?
when the unh dk in my group in a +14 top goes holy was that a demise?

that was my d yes
If you don't have any vanishes and your bleeds are dropping off in AoE do you literally just sit there building combo points and rupturing everything manually?
Yes
now thats mfkin' alpha 🤘
When do we even envenom in AoE then? 
Still did 1.6 so wasnt so bad
without a dm??
Yeah, FoK, tab, rupture, FoK, tab, rupture, etc
wtf 😳 lol
this is zero and i in ws yersteday
can see we have the same brain
dying at the same thing 

i like sub in top, workshop, cleft
but the 2nd half of top
sin for first and gorechop

Fuuuuuuuuuck that's a lot of burst
It is with BL (for some reason)
refreshing bleeds when they have 19s left is peak d maxxing
outside of shrouded suffocation spread, is garroting off targets on trash generally worth it instead of FoK'ing?
Nah, FoK for energy/combo point is way better
And you'll end up doing more damage from the CS after you envenom than you would with the whole garotte
Depending on size of pack etc.
26 seconds of rupture x 4 (3 targets+DM) getting demised is gonna do way more than an envenom
i need to whitelist tempest
i kinda wanna try forced induction
on nameplates
when they chain pull i cant remember if they've been CT'd or not
I tried it in a priory 14. I think its fine overall, but oh boy did i not do much damage to the second boss
DM timing was awful too
It came up when boss at had 70%, so i only got one of and it wasnt in execute
yea that s the issue of bleed build imo eleem
u gotta keep dm
to be sure to have 2 of them, 3 maybe, on bosses
in higher keys it s a thing to consider
I mean ye but that should be a positive for bleed build
As you can delay DM without inting your aoe damage
Since DM is pretty much only a ST cooldown
well that mean u cant really use cds for packs before bosses, which are usually the hard ones
do you shiv before or after casting dm?
ye but you cant do that as hybrid either then
not using follow the blood for now i guess

cant allow myself to lose single target that bad

Bleed build you use one shiv with DM and one towards the end of DM?
I was moreso talking about forced induction instead of tea censi, and the ST being terrible with that
Since you dont have tea
yea at that point u press envenom only for dn right?
you dont have any spared energy
I mean tea doesnt give that much
doing some dummies rn but i hate it being on execute, i need an empty layer

it s more about vigor i think, tea also a bit
Its just the same really
Vigor isnt that impactful, since its only base regen
Its more like 5% than 10%
on ST that is, even less on aoe
i see i see
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
still crazy to me that bleed does more ST than something like that
but i trust numbers and i trust my dummy testing
Blindside good
yea i guess so
they really giga buffed it
blindslide + zoldycks are real good additions
@spice surge how did you burst that last few seconds.
Its always fun being in execute and watching your dps slowly climb
I’m always ramping then kind of tapers off
Sudden demise
ohhhh
no ap and blindside and u trade double vanish for forced induction
maybe I just notice it
thats a strange cook
Don’t
like i cant find a reason to ditch AP/Blindside
i would lose double vanish tbh, it s good qol but isnt really that usefull tbh. But i dont wanna lose subterfuge at all 
fellow dn enthusiast
I enjoy dbl vanish for chain pulling and just slamming bleeds all over
!vexie
i m fine losing double vanish QoL and applying bleeds one by one if that means more overall damage from my team chaining

Censi-igiveaF
for my team
where is the real censi
what have u done to him
speak up
🗡️
i mean
i always said it, i m a team player at first
i learnt rogue with ramfam AKA do everything u need to get carried by your team, also known as carry your carriers
but nowadays
cant press cheapshot or ks without losing 269% dps
true
dont missgenre him !
🐏
aren't they the same thing?
ok thats cringe
(they're not*)
oh damn a ram is just a male sheep
learn something new everyday i guess

is there any good tldr list this season for shit you can break with vanish?
hasn't been since SL
covid gave me a ton of free time where I could sit down and manually test everything
in later seasons in SL we tried getting the community involved and they did for a bit then nothing, and I haven't had much free time to make one since

Not quite what you were asking for, but i have a bunch of them listed in the dungeon tips at the bottom of this page
😔
I remember entering Halls of Atonement and sitting there for 4 hours testing feint/vanish/cloak on dif stuff
bro?
Most notable one that comes to mind is the targeted shadowblast on last boss of cleft
In bleed builds do we use shiv back to back like a kingsbane window?
second most notable is cloaking the blast on the poop boss in motherlode
effectively ruining the clear

Not that it really matters anyway
it used to back in my day
You get way more clear than you need 

this tear gas shit on the big mechs
is fucking toxic
idk if its better or worse than the deflect shield tho
better
Understood, thanks for what you did back then @gusty mirage
Only ones I know of off the top of my head is Lightspawn focus' and cleft retargeting on cast but ya thanks for the other piece @spice surge
AND ITS ALWAYS A BOOMKIN
typical boomie behaviour
if you do to Mega-Zap on King Mechagon I assume it just re-targets doesn't actually cancel

subconsciously rp'ing the better spec that is feral
yeah vanish causes him to retarget
If youre the first target he gets a ministroke
almost not worth that unless it will kill you/have a stack
And delays it by like 4-5s
