With sudden demise it is BleedBuild

brave comet
#

so just not in ST / Caustic cleave

spice surge
#

But demise is not feasible in raids... yet

brave comet
#

i see

brisk badge
#

Question does chain pulls in M+ affects overall dps so much ?? if i didnt go to stealthb couple of times for example

balmy condor
#

it's a pretty common misconception

runic hinge
#

It’s interesting cause it feels better to rupture adds on like let’s say stix and get the energy regen plus the burst when they die but obviously the math doesn’t say it’s better.

spice surge
#

Ye it feels good

#

But when you look at it like i pointed out earlier, youre getting 2 mutilates instead of an envenom

#

Which is not a worthwhile trade

#

You need to rupture to deal some damage too for it to be worth

balmy dome
#

on 1arm bandit, do you guys spread bleeds to the adds?

haughty flicker
#

any day now

#

we demise maxx in raid

fallow canopy
runic hinge
#

Yeah. Maybe my raid is just leaving the adds up long enough for me (I had a 97 in our heroic kill)

spice surge
lean plover
#

Always thought it should replace mutilate or whatever with a stronger ability

#

like aldrachi and glaive

haughty flicker

#

Is there a spark catch up if you miss one week?

haughty flicker
#

yes

#

you can get catchup spark fragments from raid bosses and keys

plucky pasture
#

anyone know on tre 3rd boss of DFC the Candle King when statues remain on shit and u go to clear them if u use Cloack of Shadow them didn't go away? u need to take damage for clearing them?

spice surge
#

Cloaking removes the debuff that melts the candles

plucky pasture
#

ok

spice surge
#

(the circle visual stays for some reason, but the actual debuff is gone)

#

So ye dont cloak when you have that Surebud

haughty flicker
#

yeah i definitely didnt nearly wipe because i didnt know that and used cloak to go into the wax

plucky pasture
#

ok cool just broke a 15 this way

#

Is it still beneficial to macro Thistle Tea into Shiv? Whispyr's rotation guide says to use them together. I'm assuming the benefit of the added mastery into burst windows outweighs the potential overcap on energy?

past bobcat
#

!tea

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

spice surge
#

It typically doesnt overcap either

west orbit
#

Yeah, I was using that macro, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something that was no longer necessary. Ty 😄

#

what amount of haste should you be shooting for in m+ or doesnt it really matter with the bleed energy regen

spice surge
#

it doesnt really matter

autumn lynx
#

word

spice surge
#

Would recommend to just compare your items in a Dslice topgear sim

autumn lynx
#

also is it worth spreading caustic splatter or does it not proc off another one proccing

spice surge
#

Its limited to one target

autumn lynx
#

oh shit

harsh harbor
#

I am doing something incredibly wrong, can anyone see anything standing out here ?

#

Maybe im letting CS drop?

fast phoenix
#

just came back to rogue... man i feel so energy starved in raid

#

not fun at all

spice surge
#

!design

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

rustic leaf
#

Would it be an idea to start your burst around halfway into the pack pull so that your bleeds will be higher and thus the execute triggers faster ?

#

Or am I high ?

fast phoenix
#

i dont remember it being this bad

lean plover
#

Are you using vicious venoms?

rustic leaf
#

Yes

lean plover
#

You can drop vv and go imo gar+master assasin

spice surge
#

Which is less damage overall

lean plover
#

for like <1% less dmg

spice surge
#

holding DM for a couple of seconds to try to get the demise proc at the tail end of it feels worth it to me, but im not entire sure it is

rustic leaf
#

Yes true

#

So it can be nice on some packs but overall not recommend is the bottom line here ?

balmy dome
#

any tips for 1 arm bandit?

drifting cloud
#

provide emotional support to your ranged while you do tank dmg on adds

spice surge
#

But DM usually no

haughty flicker
#

ok but worth to see big demise number

spice surge
#

Not wrong

balmy dome
spice surge
#

I love being able to send my DM at the tail end of a boss/big mob when the mob has like 125m or something left, your target dying through demise when DM has like 4 seconds left is not fantastic but it feels better than holding DM for a while and losing casts

haughty flicker
#

it feels way better than your kingsbane target dying halfway through thats for sure

spice surge
#

Ye if that was hybrid it would feel bad to have it die with 4s left of kb

#

Instead i get a 25M demise ez

coral ibex
#

is there any additional consideration given for restealths with bleed build or do we not really care about imp gar that much more

#

i suspect not but jw

#

sheeeeee

spice surge
#

More bleeds are better ye, but also since your envenoms do way less it doesnt matter as much when you have to manually rupture stuff

coral ibex
#

ya thats what i was thinking

#

vdh was pulling like they had kezan's on (they did)

#

just an 11 but holy moly we were not stopping

dawn seal
#

question

#

am I cheesing ilvl parses

#

some dude says u parse high on the ilvl cuz u have a head piece from last season u practically are 662 item level

#

I am very confused am I doing good or badbunnienoted

dawn seal
#

oo

#

really

static glacier
#

yes

dawn seal
#

okay I want a second opinion

#

haha

static glacier
#

and if ur doing good or bad depends more

#

on ur button presses

dawn seal
static glacier
#

than a parse number

dawn seal
#

yeah but dont u just parse better if u press correct buttons

static glacier
#

no

dawn seal
#

I wanna know what I am doing wrong cuz I got a 61

static glacier
#

there's conditions that matter a lot for parse

dawn seal
#

on none ilvl

static glacier
#

but dont reflect gameplay

#

kill timers and rng in cds

#

my best parse on a patchwerk fight in the past (hungering destroyer)

#

happened

#

when I played double on use trinkets in reverse as boomkin (GIGA BAD)

#

I just got lucky

gray hazel
dawn seal
#

cuz a blue parse is bad

dawn seal
#

and not blue

static glacier
#

what matters isn't the result, but the process

dawn seal
static glacier
#

from a quick look you're playing fine

#

no obvious issues

dawn seal
#

yeah but then why is the parse blue if its not my gear

#

🤔

dawn seal
#

I heard plenty of occasions if ua re not parsing purples on rekills u are just a bad player I dont know how true that statement is so I just wanna get better

#

and parsing blue usually is not a gear issue no ?

static glacier
#

is you're behind on melee swings to me

#

despite having higher haste

dawn seal
#

hmm

static glacier
#

are you not 24/7 on vexie?

dawn seal
#

bunnienoted I sometimes like not always

#

try to dish out a rupture to get more energy

#

is that a bad thing

static glacier
#

NOT WORTH

#

those bikes dont live 9s

#

at best you just FoK them if there's 2 or more on the boss

dawn seal
#

oh isnt it like

#

4 or more

#

!fok

prisma monolithBOT

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

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

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

dawn seal
#

generally 5

dawn seal
static glacier
#

something is up

dawn seal
#

like it doesnt count as the bike died

static glacier
#

with how you're playing kingsbane

#

i think

dawn seal
#

I only have 1 shiv on it

static glacier
#

you have more haste

static glacier
#

the dry shiv trick is ok

dawn seal
#

oh I never use clear the witnesses

#

is that bad also

#

after the change

static glacier
#

nah its fine

dawn seal
static glacier
#

during clear the witness it's neutral

dawn seal
#

bunnienoted please explain it

static glacier
#

its also slightly not as bad to use if you have dn

#

look at kingsbane stacks

#

284 to 315

dawn seal
#

ohh

static glacier
#

you're either not pooling at all pre kingsbane

dawn seal
#

I think I kinda lose uptime

#

during it

static glacier
#

or losing uptime

dawn seal
#

oh I never pool

#

just slma

static glacier
#

it's a gain to chill before solo kingsbanes by like 3-5 globals

#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#
  • Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
  • Only one pooling condition exists (pool around 4 seconds before non-deathmark kingsbanes until 150ish energy). This is worth 0.3%
  • Other optimizations are simply not impactful enough to show a benefit in sims, but pooling before quick-dying add spawns could in theory be a practical gain to pad.
dawn seal
#

yeah but it doesnt affect that much I think right

#

bunnienoted like its very interesting

#

I feel like I should be doing more damage

static glacier
#

you also had less darkest nights

#

you finishing on 5 ?

dawn seal
#

ohh

static glacier
#

outside of dn

dawn seal
#

yeah

#

but I think 1-2 times I fucked it up

#

cauldron was a mess but only 1-2 times on the 1st boss

static glacier
#

I actually think you had slightly better rng than me on this boss

#

for that kill

dawn seal
#

what was ur ilvl

static glacier
#

665

dawn seal
#

hmm

static glacier
#

im talking about the 10 more blindsides

dawn seal
#

ohh yeah I know

static glacier
#

you somehow put out less dns

#

with more haste and more blindsides

dawn seal
#

I sometimes cap

#

on cp

#

during cds is that normal

mint valve
#

!fuu

prisma monolithBOT
dawn seal
#

when I shiv kb

static glacier
#

thats ok

#

if you were to put on a myth track helm you'd gain like 3.2 ilvls immediately

#

also stop griefing and put a 2nd socket and gem on ur neck

#

also crystaline radiance gives more agil than Stormrider's Agility

#

anyways this is all minor

#

compared to just keeping uptime

#

that's the main thing, ur playing fine

#

as for killtime thing if we had 1 more person in the raid we'd instantly go up like 2-5 percentiles in log

#

boss would die right as execute intermission ends around 6m 6-30

#

atleast for me i'd have done same dps as my last log on the boss which was 3.49m which was 99

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.

Is strict sequence apl reliable?idk how to work a set of apl but i need some sim to verify some thoughtfeelscryman

#

Not skilled enough to write a real apl

severe sparrow
#

how many seconds-ish does it take to ramp up all our shit like amp poison stacks and all that crap on a new target to the point where it's like the same as the target we swapped from? not that im actually trying to math out target swapping cuz i know better than that yeecool but like, im just wondering about it and for some reason i have 15-ish seconds in my head from somewhere

@balmy condor you need to cook a new build for raid. VV is dog water

#

ok ty

balmy condor
#

depends how many you're adding I guess

#

wait

#

what is "first row"

#

is it the mark

#

or the rotational stuff

#

if you're adding to the mark, no issue

#

if it's the rotational stuff you'd need to adjust everything

ebon steppe
#

Like an apl that casts a,b,c,d in strict order

#

Kinda like that

abstract warren
#

Are all 3 specs close enough to say fuck it play what you want or is there one doing more damage in m+ than the other?

obsidian walrus
#

in M+ if you run bleed build do you still just rupture and garrote 5

#

or do you just bleed em all up

on H Lockenstock... not too shabby. Not sure what my parse is yet because logs havent been uploaded yet

balmy condor
#

generally we don't do that cause strict sequences like that are just straight up worse than having actual logic

ebon steppe
#

yes i just realized it

balmy condor
#

whats the idea

ebon steppe
#

Wanna try to cast envenom with 2+cp and supercharger instead of 5+ cp and supercharger

#

Idk if it's ok

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

it's just also not better

#

so it just ends up being added logic for no reason

ebon steppe
#

Yeah i know that, but if we cast envenom that way instead of the normal way, with signet of the priory, the last dn envenom will be casted in last 2-3s of trinket buff

#

so more dmg i thought

#

with house of cards I will not cast envenom that way

No i mean in entire deathmark,influence like 3 envenom casts per deathmark, it made amp less powerful(or more in some certain circumstances)but we'll get a big gold dn
And after that, i mean if that is ok, maybe 2nd shiv could be delayed like 2-3 gcd(cuz we don't use arterial anymore so shiv won't buff deathmark and it's bleed duplicates anymore), so the dn right after deathmark may be casted while lingering, shiv, signet, and amp if not jinxed

Is with out of trace a lot more valueable now with bleed build compared to hybrid?

I saw some peeps go down the Forced induction route instead of without a trace

#

So I can play sin in my sub gear yeah?

haughty flicker
#

pretty much

barren yarrow
#

Is there anyone with an epic sub that could help me sim a boss fight

haughty flicker
#

the duality of man

barren yarrow
#

lol 😂

#

seems about right

haughty flicker
#

me playing sub like a handless lemur with a terminal illness is still highest barrel damage so we do what we have to do

#

i got a daggy tonight so good night

#

!richard

slim copper
haughty flicker
#

if it was an upgrade we still take those

slim copper
#

oh absolutely it was

haughty flicker
#

yeah we take those for sure

low hare
#

For M+. Kezan + HoC or Amplifier + HoC?

slim copper
#

Y'all got options??? damn

low hare
#

all 665 ilvl

balmy condor
#

whatever sims higher

#

but I'd probably avoid kezan

slim copper
#

i got a trash ass trinket and Signet

balmy condor
#

uptime on that thing is questionable

devout thicket
#

would you ever run HoC and Signet or is that just terrible?

balmy condor
#

awful

devout thicket
#

So I guess if I get Signet at myth track and I have HoC and pacemaker at hero I swap out HoC?

balmy condor
#

your second trinket would buff nothing

#

if you have signet myth you run the pacemaker

low hare
balmy condor
barren yarrow
#

Ok I have a question. In single target ( raid ) the sim wants me to take different gems then my M+ so is that just too much min max and I should keep gems or.

low hare
#

As a rule, always one on use, and one passive trink, since the before time, the long long ago

balmy condor
#

don't bother with gem sims

barren yarrow
#

ok 👍🏼

balmy condor
#

there's like a trillion gem combinations that all sim completely equal

#

which is why they take so ass long in the first place

barren yarrow
#

yeah I kinda realized that it wouldn’t be as big then actual gear.

balmy condor
#

making a dent in the ozone layer by heating up the server farm trying to sim if crit/mast or mast/crit is better

#

300 thousand iterations later the sim still has no clue

barren yarrow
#

lol 😂 ok fair. I will fuck right off with gems

naive sandal
#

I am getting ready to craft the Everforged stabber for my rogue. Statwise should i just go Crit mastery or should i sim best stats and use the stats that it recommends

balmy condor
#

crit/mast is fine

#

daggers have the least secondaries out of any piece of gear

#

won't really matter what you do

#

outside of mainhand item level, daggers end up being transmog more than anything else

naive sandal
#

My guild is currently progging on Gally and i am having issues staying alive during the scatter shot thingy. I use my evasion for the first and my cloak for the second. what can i do for the third to avoid death?

barren yarrow
#

Jesus zeross sub is slapping lol 😂

balmy condor
naive sandal
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

could run elusiveness I guess

barren yarrow
#

and cloak of you are about to shit your pants.

#

which I don’t think that helps?

balmy condor
#

idk how hard it hits on mythic

#

haven't gotten there yet

barren yarrow
#

Same

#

pinging all CE Gallywix rogues

balmy condor
#

it seems just liveable with feint though

#

idk

naive sandal
#

ok i might need to re order my defensives then

barren yarrow
#

yeah honestly. Take elusiveness and save cloak for that.

naive sandal
#

the third one is the issue more than anything else

haughty flicker
#

you definitely save cloak for last one

barren yarrow
#

definitely save cloak then. We got a lot of defensive but

balmy condor
#

does the third one have an overlap on mythic

#

that sounds horrid

barren yarrow
#

ewww

#

idk

naive sandal
#

oh i am on Heroic not mythic lol

balmy condor
#

oh

barren yarrow
#

🧐

balmy condor
#

well then it's a healer issue lmao

haughty flicker
#

its probably just the way his raid is doing healer cds

barren yarrow
#

yeah lol 😂

naive sandal
#

oh

haughty flicker
#

my guild had the same issue

balmy condor
#

you're probably dying to the heal absorb not the actual damage

naive sandal
#

well shit haha

barren yarrow
#

hahahah

naive sandal
#

ok that solves that issue haha

barren yarrow
#

Yeah lol

haughty flicker
#

i mean you definitely start saving cloak for third one anyway

naive sandal
#

I thought i was fucking it up somehow

barren yarrow
#

definitely

haughty flicker
#

because i'd bet money your healers have used most of their stuff by then

#

if you're struggling there

balmy condor
#

yeh it doesn't do shit for damage, the heal absorb/popping after is the hard part

#

so that's just dying to shit healers

naive sandal
#

We are making it to the final phase now. But it is still getting rather scary at times in P1

haughty flicker
#

p1 is the whole fight so you got this

naive sandal
#

Biggest issue in our last few pulls was that our tanks were getting popped and then we called it til tomorrow

barren yarrow
#

I have faith

earnest remnant
naive sandal
#

on a side note, my sim tells me to take a heroic tier piece, but i have a decent statted mythic cloak. Is it worth it to just take the mythic item?

naive sandal
#

difference is only 2k damage

balmy condor
#

2k is in margin

#

would assume your stats are kinda out of whack if 13 ilvl is within margin

#

probably take the myth cloak if no other clear option and fix the stats over time

barren yarrow
#

I had todo that with a myth track tier helm

#

from vault

balmy condor
#

that tier helm is ass

barren yarrow
#

but like, what else goes there lol

naive sandal
balmy condor
#

unlucky

barren yarrow
#

yeah

silk sundial
#

Is my dmg breakdown for bleed build wrong? Should garrote be higher?

naive sandal
#

My stats atm

barren yarrow
#

Get hekili off your computer now

balmy condor
#

idk maybe a ton of crit but it's really just a sim question

#

can't tell shit just from "here stat"

naive sandal
#

First season being rogue, I needed it lol

barren yarrow
balmy condor
#

probably could've garroted more

#

but nothing really out of the ordinary

silk sundial
#

i probably scuffed some shiv's and could probably spread bleeds more

barren yarrow
#

What level key is that

naive sandal
balmy condor
#

it's kinda ass

barren yarrow
#

and it doesn’t account for thing like a second shiv or proper CD windows.

slim copper
#

it also kinda keeps you from actually understanding the spec

barren yarrow
#

that too

naive sandal
#

For me it was a bit of a performance issue. My guild wanted me to go rogue, and my numbers were bad til I started using it to get a better feel for the spec

barren yarrow
#

ok hold on

#

think of it this way

#

would you rather be dogshit and learn overtime or be a fake parsing machine.

hidden bay
#

Fake parsing machine 💯 🔥

naive sandal
#

…considering how archon does….fake parsing machine 🙂

barren yarrow
#

idk 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m honest in that regard because people take ALOT of time over time to perfect rotation and then share it with the world.

naive sandal
#

Only rotation I have truly got down is my feral Druid.

barren yarrow
#

rogue is the smallest community by far but yet everyone wants one in raid lol.

#

and we pumpy pump pump

naive sandal
#

Yeah and I drew short straw because I was one of 4 hunters haha

slim copper
#

goodnight all! 🙂

barren yarrow
#

Night gumberino

naive sandal
#

An expendable class so to speak

barren yarrow
#

I mean shit I’ll help you tomorrow with rotation

#

it’s also good to not have to rely on it so you can catch stuff on the fly like oh hekili is telling me to use kingsbane 5 seconds before rick intermission lol.

#

You’ll press it without thinking about shit like that imo

naive sandal
#

Oh, I don’t trust it on bosses with burn phases.

#

For that I hold pot, trinket, and death mark

barren yarrow
#

you do you I’m just giving my 2 cents.

#

but anytime you need help with rotation and stuff someone here is willing to help.

earnest remnant
#

Keep both dots up if true spend on envenom instead DN procs build to 7 for big envenom. Repeat

barren yarrow
#

you’re literally in the class discord

#

I just wanna know how I can get 21m envenom procs

earnest remnant
#

Press it hard

naive sandal
#

Is there a dot tracking wa I can use?

barren yarrow
#

Hahah

earnest remnant
#

Many

naive sandal
#

Mostly for Garo the and rupture

naive sandal
#

Which of these is the most user friendly?

grand trail
#

that trinket isnt even good when i have kezan

barren yarrow
#

most user friendly go with whispers edit in my opinion

#

LEs is good to very bold

shell crater
#

Hey all, I just wanna verify something with you's

#

Apparently a myth track geargrinder key is stronger than a champ track eye of kezan according to sims? That sounds super wrong. I just wanna make sure theres no issues with simming those particular things atm

haughty flicker
#

i mean yeah thats a lot of ilvl so it tracks

dapper cradle
haughty flicker
#

kezan gains value in longer sims

#

yeah

shell crater
#

gotcha, thanks

dapper cradle
#

kezan might be better for mythic prog? but the ilvl diff might be too good

real pike
#

Never seen a more 7/10 vault in my life

cerulean walrus
#

Alrighty we got the build

haughty flicker
#

idk man i could use that ring

dapper cradle
#

kinda pog?

real pike
#

It's an ilvl upgrade for sure but no big boi trinkies yet this tier

naive sandal
#

TY for the help guys and gals.

grand trail
#

hc kezan too strong cant pick up mythic pacemaeker sadge

haughty flicker
#

oh yeah i got a weapon so i can finally start trolling people on outlaw

shell crater
haughty flicker
#

yeah kezan is big in longer fights

#

only really happens in mythic raid though

#

so depends on what content you do

dapper cradle
#

i mean

#

that's still like

#

less than .1%?

haughty flicker
#

yeah

dapper cradle
#

really depends on what you're doing bro

haughty flicker
#

i would take the keys

shell crater
#

Worth jsut the tokens maybe?

#

the keys

grand trail
#

nah keys

#

sux

#

dont take

dapper cradle
#

do you have a myth helm or bracers to socket?

shell crater
#

Not yet, I got hero ones

#

I'm doing mythic raiding, for context

#

i'm currently 2/8m, about to be 3/8

dapper cradle
#

what does the rest of your vault look like

shell crater
#

bit lacking I know

#

I was away for the weekend haha

dapper cradle
#

hmm might just be a socket angle ngl

haughty flicker
#

thats uh

dapper cradle
#

nothing wrong with taking a socket

haughty flicker
#

a rough vault

shell crater
#

Yup

dapper cradle
#

i took a socket this week

shell crater
#

xD

#

Right, appreciate the info 😄

real pike
#

Save it for a mythic one

dapper cradle

#

why the pacemaker sux so much against kezan

#

hate it

haughty flicker
#

idk, even on a 7 minute sim heroic kezan is within moe of my pacemaker

haughty flicker

Nah, seaforuim without a doubt.

all 3 are good, but pants i can get from raid and wrists are meh overall.

only item from raid i wear is bracers 😄

it hurts not taking pants tho since i only have 658 pants on hc

yea but if you add my 75% chance to be in a raid with only 1 mage

golden loom
#

Fighting the urge to shadowstep is hard also

coral ibex
#

and multiply it by my raid's mage's stupidity factor

subtle tundra

i wouldnt know im a monk

coral ibex

you'll see its actually 100%

#

not have a mage be dumb

#

tonight was my first prog night on the boss bc i was playing ff14 all last week and i can't believe they progged this boss for more than 1 night

#

guy's a joke between the nerfs and the ilvl/cartel buff

Can you somehow sim to evaluate if a socket is a bigger gain than an Item from Vault?

warm vortex
#

Hoping everyones vault was good as mine

haughty flicker
#

and sim it alongside the vault items

warm vortex
#

Hey bel

haughty flicker
#

you'd have to have a pretty shit vault for that to be better though

haughty flicker
#

hello ven

lost wharf
balmy condor
#

sim them separately

haughty flicker
#

then i'd do two seperate sims

balmy condor
#

one sim with vault

haughty flicker
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

one sim with socket

lost wharf
#

Ok

#

Was hoping it'd work in one

dawn heath
#

I sprocket on her socket til i

haughty flicker
#

somehow ive managed to avoid having to take a socket this tier

#

actually the best vault luck ive had in my entire life

warm vortex

How is everyone and their vaults?
I got mythic wrists with ok stats on lock
and mythic head with perfect stats AND a socket on hunter (gonna make my gun soon too)

I took chest

Correct me if im wrong

Mast + crit head

Also wish these goggles were red

Sadly i aint an engi so i can't use the other goggle mogs

thats such a silly restriction

My stats look amazing for BM and tbh not horrid for assassination

WAY to much haste tho lol

And not enough mast

@balmy condor please remove "raid council" 😭

you can have good items that might have better stats in the vault and the socket can be better

certainly not the 4k extra that they apparently got

even if I wanted to get rid of that, it doesn't really make sense cause that's the build that's recommended on stix

#

and even if I didn't use the build at all, I STILL couldn't get rid of it

warm vortex
balmy condor
#

cause it's there for SEO and taking it out of the guide would be the decision of not my boss

warm vortex

but my boss's boss

why is this here

#

I don't play assassination personally

#

Has no use for me

Smh Smh

we're required to have a raid council build in the guides for google bullshit

maybe

it did have ducks though

so can it really be the worst council fight

we just had silken court

haughty flicker
#

yeah you cant really call a court a council

#

how do you guys open when playing bleed build in m+ st boss? like ambush > garrote > rup > garrotex2 > CT > DM > shiv...mutix2 then apply envenom or envenom before dm?

balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

they serve different functions

red schooner
dreamy rover
#

yo im lost yall

grim jay
#

its just a fight that has multiple boss targets

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

it's heavy aoe

#

multiple target

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

ovi'nax technically counts for the sake of the guide

#

as would stix

haughty flicker
#

nah

balmy condor
#

even though they're not "traditional" council fights

#

they just have giga aoe

haughty flicker
#

aint no way we're asking hyenas and dumbasses with jetpacks their opinions on the council

balmy condor
#

the "traditional" council fights would be your silken court, council of dreams, forgotten experiments

#

primal council

#

uhhhh

#

if it doesnt have council in the name it isnt a council fight

do we ever have ST fights then? because they never have that in their names

this bleed build feels so good

cause she now has a son

#

that is cool

grim jay
subtle tundra
#

instead of you

haughty flicker
#

she doesnt deserve to feel loved

balmy condor
#

mid raid council fight with a billion mechanical lineups but none of them matter cause it's a 20 pull boss

kind forge
#

Forgot my greyface behind it

balmy condor
#

also they gave it like 100 dots for somereason

subtle tundra
#

does the boss need to be hard for it to matter

kind forge
#

Kappa here you go

subtle tundra
#

cant you just enjoy the fight for what it is

haughty flicker
#

no

balmy condor
#

I didn't enjoy the fight

grim jay
#

I can only enjoy the dance council

balmy condor
#

it was like council of dreams but with 3/5 active instead of perma 3

#

fight was ass

#

or was it 2/5

haughty flicker
#

ive never enjoyed a council fight in my life

balmy condor
#

either way thing sucked

haughty flicker
#

i also only started mythic raiding in dragonflight though

red schooner
balmy condor
haughty flicker
#

so that life is rather short

#

see

#

most of my experience with primal council was in pugs

#

so uh

#

i did not enjoy it

balmy condor
#

yeh

haughty flicker
#

in a group where lightning aids doesnt spread like the new blood plague then yeah i could see it being a decent fight
