i play what we need at this point π¦
not to mention that OH weapon dps is basically non-existent
well yeh
!up
warlock gamer for the sprocket and one armed
I'm having a lot of fun with the bleed build
alr, ig I'll go bracers boots or waist then. I would prolly usually craft bracers/belt with crit/mast since my current ones have haste, but did I read now haste is wanted for bleed build?
more wanted than typical m+ builds yes
I just want to be wanted like the bleed build wants haste
You can add crafted gear in top gear now and see what your biggest upgrade is and check which stats you want
Is there a way to make raidbots only pick one item? Cause if I compare waist boots and bracers for a craft with differing stats, it'll ofc say the top gear is to have all of them at 675 lol
Can set your sparks to 1 as well
its like the first line of the first pin lol
you don't frantically check for new red dots on the pins?!?!
actually i think it was edited in to be fair
to be fair it was edited in 3 days ago
First thing I do when I wake up. Check pins, then add reactions onto every picture in the pet thread
and it's the second video
in summary, I am just blind
i was trying to be generous and forgiving
I am not mercyful
Hello guys, hope ur are fine. I have an ask, do you have a macro for the openning ?
sleep time wisper
cast sequence opener βΈοΈ
what
did I stutter?
/castsequence reset=30 deathmark, shiv, kingbsane, fuck ass envendomoe, envoeneom, enovenemom, multitale
incredible work
now i see why im not parsing 100s
tbh this macro is worthy of a mention in the guide
Hey guys, if we do big pulls in m+ Like First pull flood 12-15 mobs how many bleed and garrote do you maintain? All mobs or like 3 times bleed and garrote (=9mobs) then CT and Spamming envenoms with Caustic splatter?
/castsequence reset=5 Garrote,Garrote,Garrote,Fok,FOk...
improved garrotes on everything, rupture on everything important, CT, cds, envenom
I would guess you'd just use the aoe bleed window, and after that go to castic but im just a clown so dont listen to me
very rarely do you ever need the full 12 seconds
the guid is wow head ?
yes but ignore the macro its a joke O_O
Ah xd why
cause one macro for the full opener is really stupid
So I start ambush for nightstalker then double garrote (=6mobs) into bleed (=3) again double garrote (=12) bleed (=6) fok->ct->env?
sounds good
MAybe i am doing something wrong but just tried on Gally LFR. Is Assa really that degen that i just mostly stand there and wait for energy keep bleeds up and just builder spender `? COming from Outlaw π
Im being anxious about competing with Hunters now in degen π
Ty Master Whispyr! π₯²
maintain the things with a duration, line up cooldowns, spam envenom
gg assassination done
Sad Story
it's gotten VERY simplified over the last 1.5 years
pooling all but dead
tea is macro'd
i go ambush > garrote > rupture > rupture (bone spike) > garrote > garrote... (depending on size of pack ill send more or less garrotes) > crimson tempest > shiv > deathmark + HoC > mutilate (spatter activation) > envenom the shit out of my main target, its it good
echoing reprimand and sepsis gone
bone spike passive on rupture
slice and dice gone
envenom uptime irrelevant
bled build btw
I mean tbh i still hate the pooling, thats just not fun
what else did I miss
No need to keep track of bleed in AOE autp splits
bone spike was such a good covenant ability when it came out, I miss old bone spike
kingsbane not even that relevant
pooling is fun when there's actual feedback and payoff for playing around your energy
the problem is that your energy doesn't mean jack shit
yeh that's fine
like I am thoroughly convinced that pooling can be a cool and fun mechanic, if it fucking mattered for more than 0.0000001%
there's a very satisfying payout holding your resources and then unloading it when you decide to go
The Fatebound tab in bleed build on wowhead is wrong, it's a repeat of the Hybrid build text below
ah fuck
;D
honestly just forget that tab exists
fatebound is unplayable in m+
idk why it's there
Ofc, just clicked it out of curiosity
But if someone clicks it they might misunderstand
And think ,,Oh so it's better"
Right below it it says ,,Fatebound is very behind numerically" but as we know people can't read
Stuck on Rick so probably not gonna see for a long time π
poof its gone
You work fast
yhea kinda sucks that advanced play and mechanics arent being rewarded lately, and braindead classes like hunters and pallys getting crazy buffs and reworks
remember that I added this helpful chart
to tell people what to consider dropping
and then we've spent the last week telling people please don't drop lethal dose that would be stupid
I love world of warcraft pc edition
anyway
it's a good thing I do a bunch of math and testing so that we can disregard it and make ignorant decisions regardless


clicking and dragging and pressing delete is hardly worth mentioning 
deleting is easy
fixing the information is the hard part
I mean, I am not saying it would be good but dropping a point of lethal dose to take IW for the bleed build would probably feel better than dropping second shiv or bone spike, it would just be a terrible choice
A lot of people just think that whatever they though of is always the smartest
Or they just like spreading misinformation
Yeah whispyr I think you should just give away your wowhead guide to someone else to maintain it
yeah, give it to an m+ guy that lives in dungeons and then won't update it
IM ele Main but i have 6k rio so probalby ez for me to do XD
please your majesty, have my moderator role
whispor please send admin password for wowhead
,,Here we talent out of soothing subterfuge and without a trace to take Cold blood in our bleed build so we can use it on our first garrote"
π
about to do some trolling in the hunter isle

new tech alert
I need to sim that right away!
,,After we use this awesome tech play, we use CT instantly again so we can make the duration longer trust"
that way we have a max of 5
and then we can't mald about being on 6/7 for darkest night
and we get more darkest nights
thoughts?

I think you should use finisher on 4 cp then, makes sense
get it done run the math
true
My inner Batman likes more Darkest Nights
And then fatebound becomes better so we go gambling
We stop all complainers at once
wouldnt that make it even more brainrot specc :D?

literally insane
less cp per finisher = less energy per finisher = more finisher = good
No just open with mutilate, cast it manually instead of ambush
i could bank a 14 cinder rn in 665
So you can still complain to the tank about no restealths cuz no mark 
right now
Sometimes it feels like my friends and family don't really understand how much blood, sweat, and tears it takes to be this mediocre at a game I don't really like.

how much are the stratagem nodes worth? it feels like they are basically just there to eat a talent point forever and always
the eternal tweet
yeah, an insane amount
LMAO
deep leffen is a classic
I think about deep leffen a lot
8 second ct
a gift to the world
That is literally me
literally better than the real leffen
and enough to piss off that piece of shit leffen
he set his twitter to private cause of it
thank god
-1 scum on social media
big me
AI is healing the world
My Day is saved
i just realize coming from outlaw to assa i can finally use WoWAnalyzer β€οΈ
I don't wanna break your heart
it's...... really bad
the fact that you want to use wowanalyzer breaks my heart
Well how would you try to get better ?
I cant tell myself how to get better if i dont know what im doing wrong XD
I breal your heart even more
we should've seen the whole warcraftlogs/archon turning into a capitalism supervillain thing when wowanalyzer happened honestly
I USE HEKILI
you read the guides, you look at your logs on your own, you ask for help in here
alright dude get him out of the discord
Cant understand the hate tbh logs are ok for not knowing wtf im doing π
I mean an automatic analysis tool? Who's maintaining it? Community members, out of the goodness of their heart, unpaid
so that archon can take the ad revenue and sell their patreon?
we're living in hell
amen david my goat
bro is spittin
Im open for that
maybe raider io but optional
Just need to figure out how to learn to compare and see my mistakes
might've been the 1st time i've spattered in here
wclogs the goat
you're twinklz obviously and parsed a 98 no issues gg
I just make my build purely off vibes and then I come in here to argue why my builds are better than what wowhead says
Thanks for the help XD
wclogs is literally like a "can you separate the art from the artist" moment
wclogs is the graduation to archon's kanye
maybe that's a bit too far
it's the uh
billie jean to archon's michael jackson
okay maybe that's too far too
uhhhhh
it's the
LFR parses 
hey you should do that manually! its pretty simple, compare your opener and rotation generally through the timeline and cast amounts
it's the good part of a shit company
Well got ID HC and Normal. and cant que up fast for mythic Gally XD
you get a pretty good grip of whats going on doing that
LFR parsing is beauty
that's almost all of the rogues that play wow
No issue just wanted to trigger David that this is a Hekili Parse π
oh, sure
I mean hekili sucks ass
but it's unironically better than the vast majority of the monkey logs I've seen
Well i see when i get on RIck on MOnday and come back with questions on WC logs to improve :=)
basically purely because it gets the first ~20 seconds of the fight correct and doesn't fuck up cooldowns too bad
so you just kinda
get 95% of the way there
Hekili just won't actually help you understand what you're doing, you're just pressing buttons
which apparently is INSANELY hard
ill out-parse you rn
XD
jk lol im trash
PLEASE
it's true, but it's also a thing of beauty
IDK if my Raid would all use Hekili on all CLasses we would probably have a DPS gain of 40%
it's able to do an opener
already better than probably the majority of normal raiders
noooo!!! I lost my rank 1 LFR gallywix
already beats me
I've seen some atrocities man
I seen some shit
people just be slamming their head into the keyboard
I mean cant be hard to write a Rotation Helper for Assa as you said yourself. Its brainrot easy π

what
yeah surely
what could possibly go wrong
it's just a robot
Its probably either Vanish into Garrote or Ambush right ?=

assa isnt really good for a rotation helper
whispyr how do i make the raid bots bot play for me
I want you to think about this
I want a whispyr bot to yell at me
Let me read a guide first XD
just open your talent page

YES
ANything in particular i shoud look at π
you'll find it
Try to look for what makes vanish a good button
Ye
a little but I think it's unironically still difficult if you don't know what's going on
that's the magic of hekili
I tried hekili once when I was learning feral druid and I legit couldn't handle it.
Hey guys, I am using guitar hero, why can't i start my own band?
You get hyperfixated on the hekili section
also shadowheart is such a based take now that I'm looking at this
I didn't even realize
but my god
giga chad
i just feel bad for the dude
no no
hes not supposed to know it all π¦
this is character development
I think reading all your talents for any spec is a good thing
it's like throwing your 2 year old into a swimming pool and seeing the struggle
He's in his training montage rn
i've been clowned on a lot on here so
Gonna emerge a week later covered in bruises but parsing 99s
it's not clowning if we're trying to foster growth
when I am bored I look through talents of specs I would never touch just to understand more π
I havent skilled that in my Gallywix build and i took that from Lorrgs?
yhea it worked, went from gray/green parses on sub rogue to 85-95s
they got whole ass clown schools
also I am currently watching wotlk rogue guides
(after i was clowned on)
The build is correct
yes, good
I have never played wotlk, and its not coming out for like 4 years
so why is vanishing strange
you didn't take those talents in that cluster
the build is correct
Ah so pressing vanish is wrong not the rupture ?
well I mean the vanish itself is the thing we're chortling about yes
the rupture might've been fine to refresh I didn't really bother counting the seconds
like vanishing doesnt hurt you, because it does not do anything
the development is coming

jealousy does not look good on you

dont listen to him, i think it really brings out your eyes
makes them pop
mods check hims pronouns

I can't remember when I last made his balls tingle 
call him.
you can make things right
DM me your number 

whispir i think you should recolor the hair
get it to a crimson tempest red tone
would be insanely pog
go to the salon and tell them "sudden demise red"
chad
im too scared of doing hair stuff on my own and ruining my hair
You are the maker of your destiny, go out there and ruin your hair on your own, on your term!
I've told this story a million times
but have you heard the story of the first time I dyed my hair david
so in june, I will have been with my gf for 10 years
we got together junior year of highschool
senior prom rolls around the next year
time to get a new model
cute
the night before prom
taking my shower and stuff
and I'm like
what if I just like
dye it blue
my dad is like you're a dumbfuck for that fr
he's not wrong yk
my mom was there that day, she looked at it and was like "man you're a dumbfuck for that fr, BUT if you wanna, lets do it, yolo"
so we dye my hair
dyeing you own hair a day before prom is DIABOLICAL
I do not tell my gf any of this btw
we're supposed to be in a rose garden for pictures that morning
for pictures
I still have not told her
she's already there waiting for me
I still have not told her
I get out of the car and I'm like "hey what's up"
with a blue head of hair lol
did you have blue hair dye on hand?
yes sir
I did
well, kinda
my mom got some
what was the reaction
Turning up to prom looking like a half-assed sonic cosplay 
she thought it looked great
That's adorable
10/10
that's how you know she's the one
Very cute
That's a real good shade of blue, damn. 10/10
wife material
i call that 2019 ninja blue
also wife material
yeah except it was 2016 and I did it first
RWF WINNER HERE
blue hair CE
what is the defias brotherhood rank and how do i become one, i want red name...
Sub main. 
it's the patreon role (that is the only reward)
(the patreon has been inactive for a while)
idk if i qualify though, got a couple mutes and a warning on my record
(idk why they give us money)
for the red names
nice
ty
well my wow clock tells me enough balance gearing after today's tuning notes
so good night people
the day just started!
do you play follow the blood with KB / DPB?
my WoW clock tells me to gear a set to play outlaw rogue after today's tuning notes, I think my clock is broken
no
ty
omg whispy you look so happy thats so cute
that picture just made me happy too
ye very π
Ppl usually say the bleed build does more ST dmg in m+ but my sims say otherwise. And yes I have separate gear sets for both builds. What could be the reason? Maybe sims doesnβt account for the execute dmg or something like that?
Link the sim
10ish minutes, Iβm afk and on phone right now
np
vs 100k+ dolla for kid, i know what im going for
THanks guys i feel enlightend. Might have been my fat finger as i switched Multilate from E to R and Vanish on E now as i had it like that on Outlaw.

yeah im trying to get better at ideal mouseover positioning this week
not moving enough to line up a free rupture or two as pack transitions to new pack
and i already refreshed ct/caustic is near 10 sec
and u refresh a 20 sec rupture :vom:
did the sims change something from yesterday to to day ? i lost like 40k dps
!macro
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
bug fix to deathstalkers mark yeah
thank you !
do stats change in aoe with new build?
haste is better than before
riviseted the fatebound single target 45 k up wtf
same time ago deathstalker went upfront
well a bug fix that makes deathstalkers mark weaker will make fatebound look stronger, yes
yeh
when you sim for the rest of the bosses you use what config ?
add cleave ?
ok! thanks
why sprocketmonger? what's different there
we are still on stix, so haven't tried the fight yet
pure single target
full single
fatebound nerfs itself with more targets
that's why it's magically like 2% ahead in single target
but -26% in dungeons

half the talents are literally just written in a way that says "if you have more than 1 target, this talent doesn't do anything"
Do we have any pi sims with the bleed build im trying to convince my group to PI me haha.
Is there a way to submit an aoe profile to bloodmallet, i saw it was using a pure single target build for the 5t sim.
Ah, cool!
there's 20 other specs on there that also have single target profiles
so whats the fucking point
We show up on top and snipe the PIs π
we don't though
even if I were to submit a profile we'd be like
third

and technically if I was being totally ethical, bleed build kinda blows at 3t and 5t
so I wouldn't even be submitting a bleed build to begin with
realistically outside of niche situations like single target execute or a very important prio target or the uhdk not having cooldowns
you just don't give us PI
the dk will always be better with it
PI is feast or famine
you're either the best with it, and you get it
or you're not
and we're not
just play in double priest no DK groups π
bro it will allready be a torture to convince my RL that Pi is good on me for Mugzee

they should tranform the talent into to a target x players random or something, or grup buf but less powerfull
I mean I'm ngl
for me its a delete
I like PI. I dislike how some people use it.
i still remmenber us getting way nerfed in las expansion because pi on rogues maked us went way up in the logs , and then nerfs us to the ground, so players that never got the pi in the 1 place got screwwd even more
the biggest headache about PI, in order of biggest headache to least headache:
- People cooking ways to "fix" it in just deranged ways
- The minmaxers going "okay but if 3 moons of jupiter align to form a lunar eclipse and I pressed deathmark 3 seconds ago but the dk is holding for the boss and the boss is 3 minutes out, then we get pi surely no?"
- "BLIZZARD IS NERFING OUR SPEC CAUSE OF PI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- "I can't parse cause of PI in the logs"
- idk
- PI itself
We donβt sand bag enough for that, Warlocks need to teach us
That first one seemed a little targeted kek
they're all targetted
#4 should be "the endless discussions you have with Pi during raids"
just a question of who's the target
is there a macro that stop your from dubel clicking tea?
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

ty*
it's always entertaining how much the wow community will run themselves into the ground worrying about shit that doesn't matter
raaaaaa pooling so important
nooooooooooo give the pi to meeeeeeeeeeee
+4 grim batol AUG ONLY
+6 YOUR KEY TRINKET HR LUST + AUG
NO LEAVER IF YOU LEAVE I WILL KICK YOU
Still think its insanely crazy to say +6 your key but the trinket is HR to me cause I made the group in the group finder
HR on personal loot is a beautiful thing
sooo......
a american thing only?
no one asked you

think my favorite thing ive seen though is
LF4M Tank healer DPS Start live - good group so far
ahhahaha
Good group when ur alone in the group is very based
I saw a group at the start of tww that was something along the lines of "community keys, my carry"
and it was a streamer with legit 7 followers
gigachad
very optimistic
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9fzdff51xojbvSHSx9KQzB Bleed
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oKktje1vUG4Dx8W78diJzr Hybrid
1 target, 3 minutes with lust
The difference seems to get bigger as the fight length goes on
yeah forced induction ttk
bro
why not this build
because he's playing the gigachad +25 push only need 2% extra boss damage build
where you just give up a fuck ton of aoe for fun
to squeeze out a bit more boss damage
on a spec that doesn't have boss damage

It is pretty sad I'm being gapped on bosses by 640 monk alts but doing 5 mil overall haha.
Guys - stupid question... but the wowhead guide on talents for M+ is not getting Kingsbane, does this makes sense?
ye
the aoe rotation remains the same?
Pretty much just we shiv more in AoE due to arterial
aight - thank you
I guess thats my bad but I went with those talents because I thought boss damage could seem unacceptable at times which I hated and I didn't like the other build so went with the more ST focused one. But the forced induction row ofc didn't "fix" the ST issues anyway :/ But bottom line is I won't have more boss dmg with the bleed build than what I had before I guess
yeah I mean you're simming basically the biggest single target build, sacrificing your aoe for it
and bleed is basically neutral
so to me
that sounds like just an upgrade
Not our fault your tastebuds donβt appreciate perfection
you do the same single target but you get way more aoe cause you're not just throwing aoe talents into the dumpster for it
what jam would you even put on it
reaL
i let ww and brewmaster monks have their time on the sun
Got almost 3200 with Sub and I feel like it's time to go back to Assa, especially in some specific keys if I want to push further.
I guess the reason I took forced induction was because I was so used to the Sub boss dmg π
they get ignored often enough by blizz
assa does no boss dmg in m+
Just play mage and have a meta spec most seasons
like, if you want consistent high aoe dmg, you play assa, bt boss dmg is kinda mid
if you want good boss dmg you play sub, but aoe is not great
if you want to be good at everything, play a top meta spec
Then youβll never have to worry about being mistreated by bliz
thats why they are top meta
I have a balance druid ready, should be fine
True
Even when they cry about being bad theyβre still better than 70% of classes lmao
True
And plus they play like dogshit
This was a cinder
Up to ipa
Mage died like 10 times and ββDcedββ the second we pulled ipa
I was pumping D:
you have to be fluent in "Mage" to understand that
when mage players say "bottom tier spec" they mean "at the bottom of the top 5"
Or bottom of the dps meter cause they are playing it wrong and wanna whine and blame the game
Itβs like I remember talking to someone and they went
βYea Assa is the worst rogue spec at the moment cause you are so dependent on restealth
I was just
What???
thats a very very very very very common mindset
like, i even have to remind my raidmates sometimes that they can just pull
only let me restealth when its like, a really big dangerous pull you dont wanna do a chain into anyway
Yea
But like I wouldnβt complain if a tank still checks and doesnβt do stupid pulls
But itβs not required, just a nice bonus yknow?
Like
βHey wait rogue needs stealthβ
I mean
I wonβt say no? (Unless itβs overly obnoxious)
To be fair, WW monk kinda is meh in keys, they don't have that much aoe. I do more overall on my 650 Assa rogue than my 665 Windwalker.
Boss damage yeah insanely good.
Have you guys seen MM btw
Fucking slot machine simulator
βDo I hit lock and load or sit here psising my pantsβ
i had a tank ask me after a weekly key a few days ago
"did assa get buffed or smth, whats up with that dmg"
"yeah a bit"
"BTW why werent you mad that i kept chainpulling i usually have rogues screaming at me"
"cuz i dont care ill do good dmg anyway as long as you dont just drag a low hp mob into a new pack its fine"
"noted"
random shammy in the group
"he is just a god gamer at rogue"
had to include the glaze i got xD
Bro getting glazed both inside wow and outside of wow feels great
Whenever someone says smth like
βA hunter that actually knows how to play the gameβ
I just get the biggest smile on my face
shammy was right tbh
Hey guys, im new to sin rogue. What do we do if we cant stealth between packs and got no vanish up? Do we manually dot every mob?
Sim Bugfix
Due to an issue with Mutilate not correctly consuming Deathstalker's Mark in Sims, some players may notice their simdps has dropped. Additionally, builds without Vicious Venoms have become slightly better, as has fatebound (still only in pure single target). You should make sure to sim your character on LATEST to see the differences for yourself and make the decision between VV and ImpGar/MA. Here are the strings for reference:
Fatebound (Only sprocketmonger, full single target with internal bleeding)CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMzMzMMmBDAAAAAAzCsMDAAAAAAttNzMmZmxYmZWmtZmZMwYmZmxMb2GzAYgFYGjGzGIbDYD
As a reminder for fatebound we take cold blood instead of supercharger. Macro cold blood to kingsbane. Use vanish during the cold blood in deathmark. This wil double flip edge case coins. Otherwise rotation is the same
Deathstalker VV (With Caustic as we take it on 7/8 fights)CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMjZmhxM2mBAAAAAgZDWmBAAAAAg22mZGMzYMzMLz2MzMmBDzMzYmNLjZA2MLDMglglhJwwCA
Deathstalker MA (With Caustic as we take it on 7/8 fights)CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMzMzMMmx2MAAAAAAMbwyMAAAAAA022MzgZGjZmZZ2mZmxAjZmZGzsZZMDwmZZgBsEsMMBGWA
Additionally an issue has been identified regarding the on-death energy refund from venomous wounds. Not only is the on-death refund bugged in game and giving 25% more energy than intended, but sims are not reflecting the effect properly as well. This will most likely cause a shift in "rupture snipe" logic, but this will require some changes. More information soon
yep, but you're supposed to hold vanish for those moments so the best advice is "don't get to that point to begin with"
Got it, thank you π
hey you want whispyr to crash out?
does this mean we rupture the rik barrels 
yes
LOL

turns out blizzard hasn't changed the logic of venomous wounds since 6.1
and sims haven't changed it since then either

all ima say is rupture sniping normally gives like 200 energy
that would be a 40 second rupture
quite impressive
you're doing like a FI rupture?
im sorry if ur rupture is shorter than mine
so rupture -> bonespike combo point rupture -> bonespike combo point rupture on some richard barrles?

possible, but it depends on how soon the barrels will die
like it's not just hurrdurr rupture 
how's it feel knowing you wouldn't have been even top 10 with that
are you ready to bow down to your warlock overlords?
Would you like the new pin in song format?
with creative liberties taken
How creative?
I'm already bracing for "whispyr but you said rupture sniping was bad"
because I didn't consider that it could be using numbers from 2012

I mean I did fuck up in that regard, it's true
Have you checked that the sim is at hit cap and fully worldbuffed?
I could've been more diligent in digging for that
so yes
mistake made
and I was dumb for that

but I mean cmon man why the fuck do I need to dig back 13 years on a passive
What was the mutilate issue
game is spaghetti
what is the ideal expertise % we need?
so deathstalker mark is supposed to buff your next mutilate cast, but because mutilate works off of a container system, where you're casting a dummy spell that casts the actual main hand spell + off hand spell, the issue became that the spelldata the sims scrape from the game points to a different spell than the spell the sim was casting
so it never got removed
essentially leading to a perma mut buff
oh wait yeah thats a thing that mark does
atleast I dont gotta go back 
it's very strange
cause it's -0.8% for you
and when the change came in I didn't think it mattered
cause it's also -0.5% for me
I tested it a little and it didnt' make any of my test profiles want to swap
thank god
but then earlier today some people were like hey why does impgar sim +0.7% now
and I'm like 
you are not making me change talents again!!!!!!
cba i got used to it on cauldron
I mean yeah, you can just stick to it
it's very strange though
I'm not entirely sure why it's so good for some and so bad for others
do you think its dependant at all on crit values?
The mutilate thing is benefitial to both builds tho so shouldnt be a crazy diff, one casts more mutilate the other casts harder hitting ones
vicious and imp gar are both mastery-influenced talent picks, and master assassin is just generic crit that doesn't cause any overcaps
so like
who fucking knows
at first I was like okay maybe characters with more haste cause then imp gar more ticks during deathmark and so more important blah blah
but it oddly seems WORSE with haste
so hell if I know what's going on
I mean yeah I have a huge amount of haste
yeh
like 10 or 11k
there seems to be at least some trend towards more haste = more vv
but I can't begin to explain what's happening
glad it was a habit of mine that i never could get rid off
yeah I mean it did always feel great
I always sniped shit constantly
and then right after I'd go "ah fuck that wasn't worth"
but dunno
we'll see when sims get fixed
but man u get two more muts of dopamine
so atleast the fix is a vibes gain
rupture + bonespike going out feels very good
I can't wait to have to put in a rupture snipe line into the APL that accounts for bone spike resets and shit god it's gonna suck so bad
if talented into bone spike and less than 5 adds and also you're under 150 energy and you don't have giga energy regen and and and and and
then snipe
smile
NOOOOOOOO
YOO
who was that loser who flamed fatebound earlier today
i manifested this shit
I did not even bother simming fatebound, I aint playing it on sprocket either way
wish i did as well
real
yea no. i rather play current build, fuck the 10k dps
like repeat this sim with fatebound running caustic, and then sim 1 target cleave add with fatebound running caustic as well
I only played fatebound during my heroic adventures on sikran/kyveza and it just always felt like it did less damage
I will say one thing
just RNG more?
whats the issue
highroll
blizz hasnt let sin be bad for an entire tier for a while now
i had wrong gear equipped but thats fine 
Huh?
Think I had like a 14 or 15 coin streak in an opener once and then it just fell off a cliff during the rest of the fight anyways
the fatebound experience
or WAIT NO I REMEMBER
Genuine skill issue tbf
noticed this like a few weeks ago that it gives more energy than it should 
Idk why you didnβt just troll and sit in melee
and you said nothing
i am cooked bro
I noticed a few weeks ago that you a lil bitch and your mom a hoe
how bout that
I'm studious like that
an observer

call me a pidgeon the way I'm built by the government to spy on people and sit on power lines to recharge
its true
Moooom whispyr / whipigeonsyrveilance going conspiracy murican again
it's not a conspiracy, why do they bob their heads like that
THINK
they're taking a lot of pictures very rapidly
the head bobbing is the shutter
WAKE UP
an animal has no reason to bob their head like that
but an action shot on a camera?
these pidgeons are taking 35 pictures of my balls in 4k HD in a fraction of a second
and no one cares
whats the rationale between switiching to AP + VV and MA + TTB
think about that
you wouldn't play MA + TTB ever
so idk
its russia bro theyre all genetically trained
what matters isn't if it's real or not, it's that it's plausible enough for you to be unsure
the MA Build in the pins doenst take ttb?
i didnt look i just have 2 builds
cool cool
soz for scaring u
Quick question: the only boss you dont take spatter is Sprocket? Or is there any else?
correct
Nah thatβs actually me not the pigeons
The radius is big enough even on carnage? I didnt know that
I guess on mug same with rocket add
yes
Im dumb then 
!rik
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.
IB is an impressively bad talent
Ye, but on Sprocket theres no adds
So spatter does nothing 
But ye, between IB and other thing....
I guess for Rik I will go sub or just suffer as assa
Rest its okay
!cauldron
is the pin confusing
idk what I'm supposed to say
fatebound single target has always been somewhat competitive, now it's more competitive
sim yourself, make a decision

Go more haste make it sim lower quick
ok
Ah I cannot believe I forgot to do this
VV dead for some people
me? im one of those
i dont want to be some people
gz I guess

VV is sick
whispyr change it again
I will be continuing to play it
Wait but why is it simming better for some? Is it stat weights, is it ST or cleave?
MA is simming 18k worse for me huh
damn did a 10 priory.. SD almost as much as my spatter π€£
yyyy i read this, but i tried simming with recrafting and switching around all stat weights but its putting haste vv 20k above MA
uh oh
ohhhh
mister didnt put latest
I'm from the future davve quick call the police, they're gonna hit the pentagon!
6 minute sim!!!!
yeah im simming for our sprocket next week
nah i'm going to short the stock market in 08
Lets see what the robot says
Do I VV or do I MA (not trying fatebound fuck fatebound all my homies hate fatebound)
Shit MA simming higher
wait no i had a specific fight highlighted ez 10% for overall
Ah you're not simming patchwerk
or?

wait i'm not?
25 mil max hit 
davve your glasses
Ah wait forgot my glasses

I dno this discord makes me into giga pepega
thats so weird why mine is simming -20k
me doing .8% more damage ain't gonna make or break things but this is good to know
Does this impact m+ as well?
whats your definition of impact
it impacts deathstalker
we play deathstalker in m+
so yes, it impacts m+
but that should be pretty obvious I would think
But we run MA with the bleed build anyways right?
what
what
what's this got to do with MA
No VV
this is deathstalker's mark not perma buffing mutilate in sims anymore
so mut is weaker
also, what is that weird bug where vanish ambushing applies a perma 3 stack deathstalkers mark?
I might go back to MA just because I like hitting buttons more and VV means I hit buttons a little bit less
Change in recommended M+ build?
and it doesnt go down until u reproc DN envenom
no
But, small difference either way
like it has to be a bug?
it's technically considered a bug, but it exists because of a fix to darkest night
I wonder if that old ass command is still around
uhhhhhhh
!dn
maybe I got rid of it
so its a bug caused by fixing another bug?
did our single target build change overnight, what yall yappin bout
either way, you used to not be able to have darkest night and a mark
and that pissed people off
so now you can have both
but you can't iterate the mark until you consume the darkest night
so you run into situations where you're just at 3 and have darkest night and it's "stuck" at 3
why u saying "stuck" though? Because it's literally stuck isn't it?
if it wasn't stuck, you would be able to do some interesting manevours like back to back darkest night envenoms
or overwriting a darkest night with a darkest night
so it's kinda stuck on purpose
like is it a "bug", maybe'
but at this point it seems kinda intended to work this way to prevent other headaches
Aha okay, but it is technically applied? But you just cant consume stacks for empowered mutilates?
yes, the mark and the darkest night work fine individually
you're just not allowed to consume stacks on the mark while darkest night is up
read pins btw
maybe name change time
Shiv supercharger into back2back DNs hoooly
don't say it too loud, the pvpers might jizz themselves
Ohhhh so its darkest night thats causing it. Okay now I gotchu
was my bad, was thanking you for telling me about pin
np
didnt want to @ you
I'm used to it
it's only 6am
ping me at 7am though and I'll kiss you on the lips passionately
Just let me vanish for ambush, nothing more please
honestly i'd drop MA too if it wasnt for gates
Did it though
really liking TTB
I need vanish for threat management after they fix the mark stuff and I get double DN 
sprocket sim fate vs vv/internal :
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9PD9LL7NQhaGr6fWUPxDGu meeeh
wait how do u get double DN im confused
the eternal struggle of the assa channel, inside you there are two wolves. One of the wolves wants to vanish for bigger burst cause raidbots says funny number go up, the other wolf wants to sit in a discord channel and bitch about needing to vanish for dps after needing to vanish for dps for the last 20 years
just joshing around, u cant
