njoy the confirmation

dreamy rover
#

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

rotund oak
dreamy rover
#

thats all

rotund oak
#

imagine not be renown capped already

#

just do world quests

#

and trash piles and whatever

wooden perch
#

Is this new bleed build stronger than the hybrid in m+?

rotund oak
#

and kill elites

dreamy rover
#

i've been capped

#

real statement is

wooden perch
#

Does it scale better on higher keys

dreamy rover
#

imagine not being exalted with darkfuse

rotund oak
wooden perch
#

Any point of playing it if im uswd to the hybrid

#

Is it a smoother playstyle

#

In 15+

rotund oak
#

you have to test that

dreamy rover
#

less boss damage for more aoe

rotund oak
#

see what works best

wooden perch
#

Even less boss dmg??

#

Ill pass

dreamy rover
#

yup

#

even less boss damage

#

for even more nutty aoe

rotund oak
#

sin is a strong PI candidate

#

blows up everything

warm lantern
#

man got my hopes up there for a sec

dreamy rover
rotund oak
#

something like UDK

rotund oak
warm lantern
#

no clue what the numbers say, but it doesnt sound right KEKW

dreamy rover
#

i need numbers please

rotund oak
dreamy rover
red schooner
#

I thought bleed pulled ahead ST wise due to zoldyck/blindside

dreamy rover
#

lack of kingsbane fucks ST

#

and amp poison i guess

red schooner
rotund oak
iron vapor
#

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

dreamy rover
#

yhea i just did a lower key with bleed'

iron vapor
#

So overall - better

red schooner
#

Legit bleed build has me enjoying m+ rn and I'm normally a m+ hater

dreamy rover
#

the boss damage seems lower than hybrid but keeps up

red schooner
#

Shits fun

iron vapor
#

That said, those numbers are for 10-12 keys, not 14+, so your mileage may vary

dreamy rover
red schooner
#

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

dreamy rover
#

if youre not a key pusher

#

what do you do when youre not raiding?

red schooner
dreamy rover
rotund oak
#

or RAID

dreamy rover
#

cant imagine myself doing that

#

i love keying it up with my buddies

red schooner
#

I also have an alt that I'm trying to gear up but that's on an 'if I can be arsed' thing

rotund oak
#

i enjoy more playing arenas with the homies

red schooner
#

I just never enjoyed pushing, I wanna chill man

rotund oak
#

but ye,we arent 24/7 online all together

red schooner
#

But we're on stix prog ATM, there is no chill

#

I hate stix

dreamy rover
#

my guild killed this dude thursday

#

ill be probably killing him tomorrow

#

took a while

red schooner
#

First night of it last night, it doesn't work well for how our guild functions.

dreamy rover
#

lool

red schooner
#

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

dreamy rover
#

lmao

#

makes sense

#

fucking balls arent that hard dude

#

eat trash

#

eat add > go boss

red schooner
#

I find them alright

dreamy rover
#

eat bomb > go boss

red schooner
#

But the amount of territorial bombshells exploded

#

Says otherwise

dreamy rover
#

lool

#

my guild gave out a weak aura with a huge stop sign on the bombshells

red schooner
#

Same

#

It

dreamy rover
#

especially for the repeat offenders

red schooner
#

Didn't help

rotund oak
#

so happy the weak aura sht fiesta goes away next patch

#

weak aura this weak aura that

#

F off already

dreamy rover
#

let me be the one to tell you that.

#

it wont end.

rotund oak
#

we will have significally less

dreamy rover
#

i wont OMEGAKEKW

rotund oak
#

to end yeah i dont think it will either

#

yeah suit urself

dreamy rover
#

im planning on insta turning it off

rotund oak
#

i dont enjoy playing with alot of wa's anyway

lavish geyser
#

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?

rotund oak
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

  • 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

rotund oak
#

idk,it would make me sad

#

but i would still try to keep it minimal

kind forge
#

Im pretty sure it’s gonna be like that

#

Ngl

red schooner
rotund oak
#

same for DF

red schooner
radiant raven
#

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

rotund oak
#

private auras for all bosses

#

F off already

lavish geyser
# rotund oak !stats

there is no way to do a sim where you set a desired lvl of haste or mastery? as an example.

red schooner
#

So, maybe they go that route

radiant raven
lavish geyser
#

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

rotund oak
radiant raven
#

Although I think they should just do less in general.

red schooner
rotund oak
#

also sin doesnt care for stats,literally

lavish geyser
rotund oak
#

and even if u dont for sin u would still make less dmg on both

lavish geyser
#

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

rotund oak
#

outlaw has a haste breakpoint

#

else it doestn function

red schooner
#

TBF it barely functions WITH the haste breakpoint sometimes

rotund oak
#

yeah,its a fried spec

#

idk wtf ppl see in it

#

it srsly needs a rework

red schooner
#

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

rotund oak
#

yeah why not

vital flicker
rotund oak
#

ive tested it out

#

it feels rly bad

kind forge
vital flicker
#

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

rotund oak
#

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

kind forge
#

I do

#

:3

rotund oak
#

well hello my name is Theo

#

nice to meet you

#

lul

vital flicker
#

I mean there are almost the same amount of raid parses for sub and sin over the last 2 weeks

subtle tundra
#

outlaw never has raid parses

kind forge
#

Well I’ll plan to play more bleed sin after reset in atleast 4 keys

vital flicker
#

People rarely rais as outlaw unless it's significantly better, especially since it has a really bad raid dps profile

bronze pike
#

i mean outlaw has seen 4 out of 7 bosses

#

but ya the spec is cringe and needs a facelift

subtle tundra
#

just cause it does better damage it doesnt mean it will have more parses

#

lol

rotund oak
bronze pike
#

unfort it might not be the face lift the majority of outlaw players here would want

rotund oak
#

its unaccceptable that a spec like that exists

bronze pike
#

rogue in general is very unpopular for alot of reason

#

alot of it cause a lack of cool visuals

#

visuals attract alot of people

amber brook
rotund oak
#

blizzard embodies a cd tracker on the game

#

means less things to track with WA's

vital flicker
radiant raven
#

But it has potential.

subtle tundra
#

what cd are you tracking

#

that is gonna be replaced by wow's thing

amber brook
#

The cooldown tracker is coming on reset?

rotund oak
amber brook
#

or sometime later

radiant raven
amber brook
#

ah

subtle tundra
#

like, do you mean deathmark cd?

#

cause that is literally already trackable

#

on your fucking bars

bronze pike
#

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

golden loom
#

Looking at bars for cds is based

bronze pike
#

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

radiant raven
#

uncap everything

subtle tundra
radiant raven
#

aoe caps suck!!!

#

(soft caps are fine)

subtle tundra
#

if youre using WAs youre not gonna stop using WAs

bronze pike
#

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

radiant raven
#

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.

vital flicker
#

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

subtle tundra
#

well yeah the game has changed since then

bronze pike
#

hard caps should be removed from the game

#

majority of specs have soft caps

#

cept warrior but fuck htose guys

vital flicker
#

But blizzard gets stuck in its ways sometimes

#

They get set on bad ideas needing to stay for no real valid reason, like covenants

royal lantern
golden loom
#

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

vital flicker
#

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

iron vapor
#

Can't see them banning WAs

balmy condor
#

I've been good

red schooner
#

Even did the delves

jolly vault
#

Nuhuh

red schooner
#

Damn

balmy condor
#

please usable myth track

red schooner
#

The dream

jolly vault
vital flicker
kind forge
#

I was staring on my screen running laps in dornogal yesterday evening because I cba doing delves pepehands

red schooner
#

Pls no more catalyst able items I'm still waiting on another catalyst charge for my gloves

balmy condor
#

I'm literally sitting on gilded crests

#

cause I don't have myth track gear to upgrade

red schooner
#

I don't wanna be 2 weeks behind on catalyst

jolly vault
#

Whispyr is it ever viable to replace Circlet? If it was a Myth ring

balmy condor
#

no

oak sparrow
#

whisp wrote Cyrce is ~20 ilvl above any myth ring is nuff said

bronze pike
#

same

#

also

vale lantern
balmy condor
#

it's just straight up like 600 stats more than a 678 ring

bronze pike
#

wasnt this the week we are able to craft second emblishment???

balmy condor
#

more depending on your mast I guess

bronze pike
#

or well

#

3rd craft

bronze pike
#

ye

drifting cedar
balmy condor
bronze pike
#

if it is. why do i only have one shard???

vital flicker
#

So when we get dinars will myth Jastor take the other ring slot and then we never touch rings until next tier?

red schooner
pure moth
indigo sphinx
#

Using Bleed build in ST, is it worth using your 2 out of DM shivs on darkest night or big who cares just send?

bronze pike
#

you get it same time as everyone else do

bronze pike

You seeing the dps meter

balmy condor
#

was legit like 2.4mil

#

barely beating prot war

jolly vault
#

Prot war is broken

balmy condor
#

yeah prot war is super broken until any mechanic occurs that cannot be blocked or spell reflected

golden loom
#

why the fk isnt shadowstep on gallywix fixed yet sitmadge

balmy condor
#

and then it's a wet pile of lint

jolly vault
balmy condor
#

I mean who cares about the damage if your tank is dying to melee attacks in a 16

jolly vault
#

Never using that for dodging ever again

balmy condor
#

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

red schooner
balmy condor
#

unblockable magic damage auto attack

red schooner
#

I'll do it again

balmy condor
#

incredible

#

thank you blizzard

#

very cool

jolly vault
bronze pike
#

like ignore pain

#

i dont wariror

#

but even then vdh better

red schooner
bronze pike
#

cause its like bdk but if bdk fucked a prot warrior and spawned better utility

#

for some godforshaken reason

subtle tundra
bronze pike
#

god

#

why did vdh became meta for the 4th season in a row

#

get me out of this hell hole

jolly vault
red schooner
#

Third boss motherlode still seems weird to me. Like, what's point in clearing the floor gunk if it despawns anyhow

bronze pike
#

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

vital flicker
#

Sometimes blizzard just launches a targetted attack on certain tanks like healing reductions for BDK, magic damge for prot warrior, or Brewmaster for Monks

bronze pike
#

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"

balmy condor
stuck knoll
bronze pike
#

hboth i guess

balmy condor
stuck knoll
#

It’s basically fine 33% of the fight

#

Then it is

#

Wet fart noise

balmy condor
#

and what do you do the next minute

red schooner
jolly vault
#

Make an alt on other window

subtle tundra
stuck knoll
#

Like it is doable

vital flicker
balmy condor
jolly vault
balmy condor
#

in our 15 we just do the boss

stuck knoll
#

It is

balmy condor
#

and the tank hp goes 100->20 insta

stuck knoll
#

Fun fact

balmy condor
#

for legit no reason other than xd prot

stuck knoll
#

Blood shield on bdk

#

Doesn’t work on it either

rotund oak
#

embrace the light

stuck knoll
#

Like it just ignores your death strike shield

rotund oak
#

embrace the paladin

royal lantern
#

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

rotund oak
#

palatonk spellwarding,minibubble,calling angels from the sky

#

massive of heals

#

hofs

#

hojs

#

do i need to say more

stuck knoll
#

I have to play cringe paladin then

jolly vault
rotund oak
#

also never care about stops anymore

jolly vault
#

Give me a sec

rotund oak
#

paladin solos everything

#

captain america edition

balmy condor
#

tank balance is actually horrid tbh

rotund oak
#

oh

#

and CR

#

coz paladins and light and sht

golden loom
#

another 100 in the books 😎

jolly vault
vital flicker
#

Ive heard VDH is kinda alright in keys

rotund oak
vital flicker
#

Huge lfr parses

rotund oak
#

too much utility and stuff

#

plus the light compels you mfker

jolly vault
vital flicker
rotund oak
#

palatonk looks nice

jolly vault
#

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

rotund oak
#

not ur fault

#

healer issue

jolly vault
#

My thoughts exactly

#

I personally took the Brewmaster pill

#

And cannot complain actually

red schooner
#

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.

jolly vault
#

A nice alt experience

red schooner
#

I just wanna cat man

jolly vault
#

Always wondered how MoP felt like, so I play BM monk now

rotund oak
#

im either bear or pala pov for tanking,maybe war

#

since im a mfkin alpha

#

but ye idk,will see

#

for now mage

jolly vault
#

Are you metachasing?

bronze pike
#

needs to fucking die

#

im never inviting a vdh to motherload ever again

#

fuck that

rotund oak
#

idk

#

something's srsly wrong with my mage

jolly vault
#

Honestly arcane or nothing

rotund oak
#

im frost currently,its rly fun and easy

jolly vault
#

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

rotund oak
#

yeah

#

the windows are actually nuts

#

sht gets deleted

#

like u go on ML and pop cds on 1st boss,its gone

jolly vault
#

Quite so

#

But yeah I enjoy having less brain, so obv I play melee Assa rog

vast shuttle
#

what ilvl do i need for mythic raids?

rotund oak
#

ive came to realize that pugging as a rogue is actually self harm

rotund oak
#

doesnt expect to top the meters though

#

aint happening

grim jay
vast shuttle
jolly vault
vast shuttle
#

i tought u needed maybe 665

grim jay
#

its quite literally the case for every dps player I know of

jolly vault
#

Well I don’t think so

balmy condor
rotund oak
#

mythic gallywix,u boys are crazy

#

bro is asking to start mythic raiding

balmy condor
#

I mean yeah

#

people are clearing the raid at that ilvl

#

you don't need anywhere near that much

rotund oak
#

ah yeah gotcha

#

yup

vital flicker
#

Gonna start big

grim jay
#

also 665 should be fairly easy this week

#

unless you messed up crests

#

or smth

golden loom
#

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

vital flicker
#

According to Preach Richard Reverberations=Gallywix

rotund oak
red schooner
#

Neat, benched on stix garf_sit

#

I'm free

subtle tundra
#

buddy why are you even ever listening to a person not playing the game

rotund oak
#

u can 662 prolly with bad management even

vast shuttle
red schooner
#

We have 2 boomies and boomies are 8th and 9th on add damage kekdog

balmy condor
grim jay
red schooner
#

As fucking sin

#

Sir how

#

You hit starfall then go afk

subtle tundra
vast shuttle
#

lol

red schooner
#

So I took heroic mechanocore instead and it's fine

grim jay
#

one bad week doesnt kill you

subtle tundra
#

yeah thats 15 less crests

grim jay
#

I already had a socket week

subtle tundra
#

mythic crests

#

than a person getting a good item

rotund oak
#

means u can enter mythic raiding pretty much

red schooner
#

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

stuck knoll
subtle tundra
#

imagine not having upgraded hc gear(i was on gallywix and no mythic gear to upgrade)

red schooner
grim jay
#

and mythic pieces/crafts

subtle tundra
#

i crafted a chest cause it was my biggest upgrade. cursed ass tier

red schooner
#

If vault screws me I'll send a craft but surely it can't screw me this time

#

Surely

balmy condor
#

if vault screws me I'm unironically sending crests to 6/6 hero

subtle tundra
#

just take half a spark

#

and craft

red schooner
balmy condor
subtle tundra
#

kill a mythic boss

#

and get the loots

balmy condor
#

yeah ez pz

stuck knoll
#

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

buoyant herald
#

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

red schooner
#

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

buoyant herald
#

I think dinar has to be eye or jastor for me

zenith elm
#

Idk on which items i'll use my dinars on

stuck knoll
#

I have a HC one so the only way I get mythic is vault or dinar

zenith elm
#

jastor or HOC i'll say

stuck knoll
#

I don’t really wanna use a dinar on it tho

zenith elm
#

I hope we get more than on dinars

#

like two

#

is perfect

stuck knoll
#

I thought it was supposed to be 3

#

But I am saying that off of memory

zenith elm
#

Is it 3??

stuck knoll
#

So don’t quote

earnest remnant
stuck knoll
#

But I believe it’s 3

stuck knoll
#

We got to 3rd soak last night

red schooner
earnest remnant
#

soon done with the HC mechanics then

balmy condor
#

purple name said so

zenith elm
#

I aint even begining MM rn

balmy condor
#

write it down

stuck knoll
#

It’s funny first say I am like “damn we’re doing quite well and making good progress on day 1”

subtle tundra
#

anyone know why my guild has never seen the very rare back drop

#

its quite weird

stuck knoll
#

I can’t wait to continue wiping at the same point for 2 weeks

#

I think we’ve only seen it once

subtle tundra
#

not from normal, hc, mythic

grim jay
#

imo

#

so its really jastor vs hoc

subtle tundra
#

we did have like 5-6 jastors

#

drops

zenith elm
grim jay
stuck knoll
#

It’s too hard to keep stacked

grim jay
#

unless you got a tank / group dedicated to have it running

zenith elm
#

yes thats why its HOC or jastor

Do you force yourself to a gaol with the body of your character or is always enough with the spatter from the boss?

zenith elm

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

By slight increase I mean our st in m+ is still not great but ye

tawdry mica

#

Slight increase compared to what?

#

Hybrid build or the damage before the buff?

pliant remnant
#

Hybrid

lusty kraken
#

Really now

#

Hell yeah

#

I assume the funnel is not as good as hybrid?

spice surge
#

Theres practically no difference in damage profile

lusty kraken
#

Hmm I assumed you envenom less

#

I assumed wrong I guess

spice surge
#

Well yes

#

But that doesnt mean you do much less prio

lusty kraken
#

Fair enough

#

I also assume the rotation in ST feels less worse thanks to blindside, right

red schooner
#

It still ain't great but nothing much changes ST wise other than keep CT up

snow hamlet
#

Common misconceptions about bleed builds:

#
  1. no KB= less ST damage
#
  1. Zoldyck+SD=trash mobs killer=no prio damage

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?

NGL bleed build deals a bit better with tanks that leave a single low hp mob up and then go next, demise helps

Depends on dungeon

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

warm vortex
#

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

iron vapor
#

4 piece doesn't make that much difference

warm vortex
#

At keast from what i've seem

tawdry mica
warm vortex
#

Could be wrong

hollow wren
iron vapor
warm vortex
#

Also

#

How high is casutic spatter on your dps meter

#

If you are playing hybrid it should be ahead by miles iirc

iron vapor
#

Because 4m overall is decent, struggling to hit 4m with 8+ mobs around you is not decent.

warm vortex
#

Jkjk

#

I get what you mean

hollow wren
tawdry mica
#

You can do higher

iron vapor
#

You running bleed yeh?

hollow wren
warm vortex
#

5m on a big pack is
Sorta like S1 numbers
At least in keys where mobs live for a bit

iron vapor
#

Ohhh

iron vapor
#

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

tall atlas
iron ivy
#

Im a bit confused. Do bleed builds also work at higher keys, and what is in this context a 'higher key'?

iron vapor
#

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

hollow wren

When you get past 13s or smth

Might need to check with whispyr

iron vapor

Fuck knows, I don't bother beyond 12!

It's nature damage so caustic spatter makes it cleave

#

Same with envenom

Whispyr is still playing it at 14 and up i think

iron vapor

Yeah, kingsbane with a shiv for the last 8 seconds splashes NICE with caustic

warm vortex

Bleed or hybrid?

when should i drop shiv when playing bleed build?

frigid kestrel
# warm vortex True

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.

spice surge
#

(unless you have arterial precision which cleaves the shiv ofc)

tall jay
#

is our "aoe" rotation start at 3 or 4 targets?

jolly vault
iron carbon

Ok, but for FoK we only use it on ST to clear the clear the witness proc and on 4 or more targets?

grim jay

grim jay
#

its in the newest pin aswell

rancid summit
#

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?

tall jay
#

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

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

  • 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

#

idk, exactly what I said

#

cant really explain it differently

iron vapor
spice surge
#

Arterial makes shiv hit multiple targets

#

So then it increases spatter damage

fresh mica
#

how do we use tea with the bleed build, still with shiv ?

spice surge
#

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

iron vapor
spice surge
#

Say you do a 100 envenom, that would spatter 40 damage and do 100 damage to your main target

iron vapor
#

40% of 100 is less than 40% of 130

golden loom
sonic schooner
#

100 spatter

spice surge
#

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

iron vapor
#

Oh, I always assumed it would take 40% of the total envenom

#

So 52 from a 130 envenom

spice surge
#

Then arterial would make it so you would spatter 67

sonic schooner
#

It s doing weird with amp damage yea

#

Same as GS and BF

spice surge
#

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

iron vapor
#

Why x2?

#

It's been a few months since I did silken court!

golden loom
#

boss damage amp

#

but another example would be cauldron, they take more damage during charge right?

Oh yeah, after the charge

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

!rik

prisma monolithBOT

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.

no

not in aoe

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.

spice surge
nova aspen

yeah true

#

also why are u tracking deadly poison

spice surge

Its because i forgor to blacklist it

It came up when boss at had 70%, so i only got one of and it wasnt in execute

nova aspen
#

id recraft my gear for bleed maxxing if i wasn't progging stix as sub

spice surge
#

I mean as long as you dont have crit youre bleed maxxing really

sonic schooner
#

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

spice surge
#

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

sonic schooner
#

well that mean u cant really use cds for packs before bosses, which are usually the hard ones

nova aspen
spice surge
#

ye but you cant do that as hybrid either then

crisp stream
#

In high keys DM comes up for almost all packs

#

spice surge

Hybrid is more reliant on DM than bleed

#

on cds rather

#

dm+kb

sonic schooner
#

not using follow the blood for now i guess

#

cant allow myself to lose single target that bad

crisp stream
#

Bleed build you use one shiv with DM and one towards the end of DM?

spice surge
#

I was moreso talking about forced induction instead of tea censi, and the ST being terrible with that

#

Since you dont have tea

sonic schooner
#

yea at that point u press envenom only for dn right?

#

you dont have any spared energy

spice surge
#

I mean tea doesnt give that much

sonic schooner
#

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

spice surge
#

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
