Got it

#

i play what we need at this point 😦

vital flicker
#

not to mention that OH weapon dps is basically non-existent

balmy condor
#

well yeh

visual sun
#

!up

balmy condor
#

that's melee attack damage right there

I'm having a lot of fun with the bleed build

idle vine
#

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?

balmy condor
#

more wanted than typical m+ builds yes

vital flicker
runic hinge
#

You can add crafted gear in top gear now and see what your biggest upgrade is and check which stats you want

idle vine
#

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

balmy condor
#

it takes your crests into account

runic hinge
#

Can set your sparks to 1 as well

balmy condor
#

can't craft it cause the sim doesn't have 60 crests

idle vine
#

oh cool thx

#

are there any video guides of bleed build?

#

or still too fresh

buoyant herald
#

its like the first line of the first pin lol

idle vine
#

swear that wasnt there yesterday

#

lol

buoyant herald
#

you don't frantically check for new red dots on the pins?!?!

#

actually i think it was edited in to be fair

balmy condor
#

to be fair it was edited in 3 days ago

red schooner
balmy condor
#

and it's the second video

idle vine
#

in summary, I am just blind

buoyant herald
balmy condor

I am not mercyful

Hello guys, hope ur are fine. I have an ask, do you have a macro for the openning ?

balmy condor
#

like

#

the entire thing?

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

no sleep time

#

work time

#

1:40am is prime work hours

cast sequence opener ⏸️

dreamy rover
golden loom
#

did I stutter?

dreamy rover
#

/castsequence reset=30 deathmark, shiv, kingbsane, fuck ass envendomoe, envoeneom, enovenemom, multitale

balmy condor
#

incredible work

buoyant herald
#

now i see why im not parsing 100s

dreamy rover
#

tbh this macro is worthy of a mention in the guide

scenic kelp
#

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?

vital flicker
#

/castsequence reset=5 Garrote,Garrote,Garrote,Fok,FOk...

balmy condor
hollow saddle
#

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

balmy condor
#

very rarely do you ever need the full 12 seconds

gritty needle
dreamy rover
gritty needle
balmy condor
#

cause one macro for the full opener is really stupid

scenic kelp
#

So I start ambush for nightstalker then double garrote (=6mobs) into bleed (=3) again double garrote (=12) bleed (=6) fok->ct->env?

balmy condor
#

sounds good

ebon olive
#

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 πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

yep

#

spec is braindead easy these days

ebon olive
#

Im being anxious about competing with Hunters now in degen πŸ˜„

scenic kelp
balmy condor
#

maintain the things with a duration, line up cooldowns, spam envenom

#

gg assassination done

ebon olive
#

Sad Story

balmy condor
#

it's gotten VERY simplified over the last 1.5 years

#

pooling all but dead

#

tea is macro'd

dreamy rover
# balmy condor sounds good

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

balmy condor
#

echoing reprimand and sepsis gone

#

bone spike passive on rupture

#

slice and dice gone

#

envenom uptime irrelevant

dreamy rover
#

bled build btw

ebon olive
#

I mean tbh i still hate the pooling, thats just not fun

balmy condor
#

what else did I miss

ebon olive
#

No need to keep track of bleed in AOE autp splits

vital flicker
dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

hasty viper
#

The Fatebound tab in bleed build on wowhead is wrong, it's a repeat of the Hybrid build text below

balmy condor
#

rewards planning and knowledge of the class

#

like in theory, very good

hasty viper
#

;D

balmy condor
#

honestly just forget that tab exists

#

fatebound is unplayable in m+

#

idk why it's there

ebon olive
#

Who Fatebound anyxway YD

#

XD

hasty viper
#

Ofc, just clicked it out of curiosity

#

But if someone clicks it they might misunderstand

balmy condor
#

fatebound's good on sprocketmonger

#

:)

hasty viper
#

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

ebon olive
#

Stuck on Rick so probably not gonna see for a long time πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

poof its gone

hasty viper
dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

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

dreamy rover
#

just for some dude to say "drop a lethal dose point you'll be fine"

#

lol

balmy condor
#

it's a good thing I do a bunch of math and testing so that we can disregard it and make ignorant decisions regardless

balmy condor
#

deleting is easy

#

fixing the information is the hard part

vital flicker
hasty viper
#

Or they just like spreading misinformation

balmy condor
#

I'm not 4.8k io

#

what do I know

hasty viper
#

Yeah whispyr I think you should just give away your wowhead guide to someone else to maintain it

balmy condor
#

yeah, give it to an m+ guy that lives in dungeons and then won't update it

ebon olive
#

IM ele Main but i have 6k rio so probalby ez for me to do XD

balmy condor
#

6k rio? my oh my

#

I didn't realize I was in the presence of ROYALTY

ebon olive
#

XD

balmy condor
#

please your majesty, have my moderator role

dreamy rover
#

whispor please send admin password for wowhead

hasty viper
#

,,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"

#

πŸ™‚

dreamy rover
#

about to do some trolling in the hunter isle

dreamy rover
#

CB + huge tempest

#

profit

balmy condor
#

okay hear me out right

#

what if we untalent the bonus cp talents

hasty viper
balmy condor
#

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?

hasty viper
#

I think you should use finisher on 4 cp then, makes sense

obtuse robin
#

get it done run the math

balmy condor
#

true

ebon olive
#

My inner Batman likes more Darkest Nights

hasty viper
#

And then fatebound becomes better so we go gambling

balmy condor
#

if we finish on 4, we'll never lose the mark again

#

it's a flawless plan

hasty viper
#

We stop all complainers at once

ebon olive
#

wouldnt that make it even more brainrot specc :D?

dreamy rover
#

less cp per finisher = less energy per finisher = more finisher = good

little tulip
#

open with cheap shot

#

whewre is the lie

hasty viper
#

No just open with mutilate, cast it manually instead of ambush

little tulip
#

i could bank a 14 cinder rn in 665

hasty viper
#

So you can still complain to the tank about no restealths cuz no mark garf_sit

little tulip
#

right now

balmy condor
vital flicker
#

how much are the stratagem nodes worth? it feels like they are basically just there to eat a talent point forever and always

balmy condor
#

the eternal tweet

vital flicker
balmy condor
#

I think about deep leffen a lot

little tulip
#

8 second ct

balmy condor
#

a gift to the world

hasty viper
#

That is literally me

vital flicker
#

literally better than the real leffen

balmy condor

and enough to piss off that piece of shit leffen

he set his twitter to private cause of it

thank god

#

My Day is saved

#

i just realize coming from outlaw to assa i can finally use WoWAnalyzer ❀️

balmy condor
#

I don't wanna break your heart

ebon olive
#

Outdated... meh

#

Still better then no analyzer i guess XD

balmy condor
#

it's...... really bad

vital flicker
#

the fact that you want to use wowanalyzer breaks my heart

ebon olive
#

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

balmy condor
ebon olive
#

I USE HEKILI

sharp viper
dreamy rover
ebon olive
#

Cant understand the hate tbh logs are ok for not knowing wtf im doing πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

I mean an automatic analysis tool? Who's maintaining it? Community members, out of the goodness of their heart, unpaid

balmy condor
#

so that archon can take the ad revenue and sell their patreon?

#

we're living in hell

dreamy rover
#

fuck archon/murlok/wowanalyzer

#

all we fucking need is a website

balmy condor
#

amen david my goat

dreamy rover
#

called

balmy condor
#

bro is spittin

ebon olive
#

Im open for that

dreamy rover
#

maybe raider io but optional

ebon olive
#

Just need to figure out how to learn to compare and see my mistakes

dreamy rover
golden loom
#

wclogs the goat

balmy condor
vital flicker
#

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

ebon olive
#

Thanks for the help XD

balmy condor
#

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

it's the

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

it's the good part of a shit company

ebon olive
#

Well got ID HC and Normal. and cant que up fast for mythic Gally XD

dreamy rover
#

you get a pretty good grip of whats going on doing that

golden loom
#

LFR parsing is beauty

balmy condor
#

no but like actually who are you

#

there's fucking 4 rogues in this bitch

ebon olive
#

Twinklz

#

sorry πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

well then what's the issue

vital flicker
ebon olive
#

No issue just wanted to trigger David that this is a Hekili Parse πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

oh, sure

#

I mean hekili sucks ass

#

but it's unironically better than the vast majority of the monkey logs I've seen

ebon olive
#

Well i see when i get on RIck on MOnday and come back with questions on WC logs to improve :=)

balmy condor
#

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

vital flicker
#

Hekili just won't actually help you understand what you're doing, you're just pressing buttons

balmy condor
#

which apparently is INSANELY hard

ebon olive
#

XD

dreamy rover
#

jk lol im trash

ebon olive
#

PLEASE

balmy condor
ebon olive
#

IDK if my Raid would all use Hekili on all CLasses we would probably have a DPS gain of 40%

balmy condor
#

it's able to do an opener

#

already better than probably the majority of normal raiders

golden loom
#

noooo!!! I lost my rank 1 LFR gallywix

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

I've seen some atrocities man

#

I seen some shit

#

people just be slamming their head into the keyboard

ebon olive
#

I mean cant be hard to write a Rotation Helper for Assa as you said yourself. Its brainrot easy πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

I mean

#

vanish into rupture

#

is definitely something

golden loom
balmy condor
#

but ya know

#

close enough I guess

dreamy rover
#

what

balmy condor
#

what could possibly go wrong

#

it's just a robot

ebon olive
#

Its probably either Vanish into Garrote or Ambush right ?=

balmy condor
dreamy rover
#

assa isnt really good for a rotation helper

#

whispyr how do i make the raid bots bot play for me

balmy condor
sharp viper
#

I want a whispyr bot to yell at me

ebon olive
#

Let me read a guide first XD

balmy condor
#

just open your talent page

earnest remnant
balmy condor
#

sit there for me

#

here

#

look at this

#

and think for me

#

take it in

ebon olive
#

ANything in particular i shoud look at πŸ˜„

balmy condor
#

you'll find it

golden loom
#

Try to look for what makes vanish a good button

dreamy rover
#

hint: it might kinda be in this section maybe

#

have i spoiled the fun of it?

red schooner
#

Ye

balmy condor
#

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

red schooner
#

I tried hekili once when I was learning feral druid and I legit couldn't handle it.

sharp viper
#

Hey guys, I am using guitar hero, why can't i start my own band?

red schooner
#

You get hyperfixated on the hekili section

balmy condor
#

also shadowheart is such a based take now that I'm looking at this

#

I didn't even realize

#

but my god

#

giga chad

dreamy rover
#

i just feel bad for the dude

balmy condor
#

no no

dreamy rover
#

hes not supposed to know it all 😦

balmy condor
#

this is character development

dreamy rover
#

oh yhea

#

look at it from that angle

golden loom
#

I think reading all your talents for any spec is a good thing

balmy condor
#

it's like throwing your 2 year old into a swimming pool and seeing the struggle

red schooner
#

He's in his training montage rn

dreamy rover
#

i've been clowned on a lot on here so

red schooner
#

Gonna emerge a week later covered in bruises but parsing 99s

balmy condor
#

it's not clowning if we're trying to foster growth

golden loom
#

when I am bored I look through talents of specs I would never touch just to understand more 😎

balmy condor
#

even clowns have to go through training my friend

#

remember that

ebon olive
dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

they got whole ass clown schools

golden loom
#

also I am currently watching wotlk rogue guides

ebon olive
dreamy rover
#

(after i was clowned on)

red schooner
golden loom
#

I have never played wotlk, and its not coming out for like 4 years

balmy condor
#

so why is vanishing strange

#

you didn't take those talents in that cluster

#

the build is correct

ebon olive
#

Ah so pressing vanish is wrong not the rupture ?

balmy condor
#

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

golden loom
#

like vanishing doesnt hurt you, because it does not do anything

earnest remnant
#

the development is coming

balmy condor
#

we're actually so close

#

my balls are tingling

dreamy rover
#

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"

balmy condor
#

I do it myself

#

but I will keep it in mind

dreamy rover
#

im too scared of doing hair stuff on my own and ruining my hair

sharp viper
balmy condor
#

I've told this story a million times

#

but have you heard the story of the first time I dyed my hair david

dreamy rover
#

no lol

#

epic moment inc

balmy condor
#

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

vital flicker
dreamy rover

balmy condor
#

sharp viper
balmy condor
#

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

dreamy rover
#

dyeing you own hair a day before prom is DIABOLICAL

balmy condor
#

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

dreamy rover
balmy condor
#

I get out of the car and I'm like "hey what's up"

dreamy rover

balmy condor
#

balmy condor
#

rotund oak
#

true question is

#

little whispyr when

whole stratus
#

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 doesn’t account for the execute dmg or something like that?

balmy condor

Link the sim

Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

/cast Shiv

Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

balmy condor
indigo ginkgo

#

do stats change in aoe with new build?

balmy condor
#

haste is better than before

indigo ginkgo
#

riviseted the fatebound single target 45 k up wtf

#

same time ago deathstalker went upfront

balmy condor
#

well a bug fix that makes deathstalkers mark weaker will make fatebound look stronger, yes

balmy condor
#

yeh

indigo ginkgo
#

when you sim for the rest of the bosses you use what config ?
add cleave ?

balmy condor
#

nah

#

you just sim single target

#

cause caustic does all the work anyway

indigo ginkgo
#

ok! thanks

balmy condor
#

fatebound only playable on sprocketmonger

#

sucks everywhere else

sharp viper
#

we are still on stix, so haven't tried the fight yet

balmy condor
#

pure single target

indigo ginkgo
#

full single

balmy condor
#

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"

prime hull
#

Do we have any pi sims with the bleed build im trying to convince my group to PI me haha.

balmy condor
prime hull
#

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.

balmy condor
#

yeh I'm workin on it

#

the issue is that

#

even if I submit a profile

prime hull
balmy condor
#

there's 20 other specs on there that also have single target profiles

#

so whats the fucking point

prime hull
#

We show up on top and snipe the PIs 😎

balmy condor
#

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

golden loom
#

just play in double priest no DK groups 😎

royal lantern
#

bro it will allready be a torture to convince my RL that Pi is good on me for Mugzee

balmy condor
#

why are you getting a pi on mugzee

indigo ginkgo
#

they should tranform the talent into to a target x players random or something, or grup buf but less powerfull

balmy condor
#

that sounds

#

insanely cancer

golden loom
#

lets not change PI

#

its a cool spell

royal lantern
#

lets delete Pi

#

its a headache

balmy condor
#

I mean I'm ngl

indigo ginkgo
#

for me its a delete

oak musk
#

I like PI. I dislike how some people use it.

indigo ginkgo
#

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

balmy condor
#

the biggest headache about PI, in order of biggest headache to least headache:

  1. People cooking ways to "fix" it in just deranged ways
  2. 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?"
  3. "BLIZZARD IS NERFING OUR SPEC CAUSE OF PI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
  4. "I can't parse cause of PI in the logs"
  5. idk
  6. PI itself

We don’t sand bag enough for that, Warlocks need to teach us

is there a macro that stop your from dubel clicking tea?

Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

Good group when ur alone in the group is very based

balmy condor

very optimistic

whole stratus
balmy condor
#

oh yikes

#

yeah I mean if you're simming THAT version of hybrid

royal lantern
#

the "its actually just what we use in raids" thing

#

?

balmy condor
#

yeah forced induction ttk

royal lantern
#

bro

balmy condor
#

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

prime hull
#

It is pretty sad I'm being gapped on bosses by 640 monk alts but doing 5 mil overall haha.

balmy condor
#

I mean yeah

#

such is the life of an aoe spec

#

we're not in keys for boss damage

red portal
#

Guys - stupid question... but the wowhead guide on talents for M+ is not getting Kingsbane, does this makes sense?

red portal
#

the aoe rotation remains the same?

red schooner
#

Pretty much just we shiv more in AoE due to arterial

red portal
#

aight - thank you

whole stratus
#

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

balmy condor
#

and bleed is basically neutral

#

so to me

#

that sounds like just an upgrade

gusty mirage
balmy condor
#

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

royal lantern
gusty mirage
#

Boysenberry personally

warm vortex
#

Tbh if you want single target

#

Just fuckin swap to sub

balmy condor
#

reaL

gusty mirage
#

Or play WW Monk or DK

#

And have it all

royal lantern
whole stratus
#

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 πŸ˜›

royal lantern
#

they get ignored often enough by blizz

warm vortex
#

Just play mage and have a meta spec most seasons

royal lantern
#

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

warm vortex
#

Then you’ll never have to worry about being mistreated by bliz

royal lantern
#

thats why they are top meta

whole stratus
#

I have a balance druid ready, should be fine

gusty mirage
#

Even when they cry about being bad they’re still better than 70% of classes lmao

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

warm vortex
#

Yea

#

But like I wouldn’t complain if a tank still checks and doesn’t do stupid pulls

#

But it’s not required, just a nice bonus yknow?

#

Like
β€œHey wait rogue needs stealth”

I mean
I won’t say no? (Unless it’s overly obnoxious)

Boss damage yeah insanely good.

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"

"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"

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?

balmy condor
#

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

hey you want whispyr to crash out?

!ricardo vibrations

balmy condor
#

turns out blizzard hasn't changed the logic of venomous wounds since 6.1

#

and sims haven't changed it since then either

static glacier
#

all ima say is rupture sniping normally gives like 200 energy

balmy condor
#

that would be a 40 second rupture

#

quite impressive

#

you're doing like a FI rupture?

static glacier
#

im sorry if ur rupture is shorter than mine

golden loom
#

so rupture -> bonespike combo point rupture -> bonespike combo point rupture on some richard barrles?

static glacier
balmy condor
#

like it's not just hurrdurr rupture BearDentge

golden loom
#

ye

#

new rupture build poggers

balmy condor
#

how's it feel knowing you wouldn't have been even top 10 with that

static glacier
#

are you ready to bow down to your warlock overlords?

#

Would you like the new pin in song format?

#

with creative liberties taken

near valley
#

How creative?

balmy condor
#

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

golden loom
#

Have you checked that the sim is at hit cap and fully worldbuffed?

balmy condor
#

I could've been more diligent in digging for that

#

so yes

#

mistake made

#

and I was dumb for that

hidden bay
balmy condor
#

but I mean cmon man why the fuck do I need to dig back 13 years on a passive

golden loom
#

What was the mutilate issue

balmy condor
#

game is spaghetti

tall atlas
#

what is the ideal expertise % we need?

balmy condor
# golden loom What was the mutilate issue

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

golden loom
#

oh wait yeah thats a thing that mark does

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

not overly convoluted debuff btw

golden loom
#

atleast I dont gotta go back garf_sit

balmy condor
#

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

wise whale
#

thank god

balmy condor
#

but then earlier today some people were like hey why does impgar sim +0.7% now

#

and I'm like HUH

hidden bay
#

you are not making me change talents again!!!!!!

wise whale
#

cba i got used to it on cauldron

balmy condor
#

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

wise whale
#

do you think its dependant at all on crit values?

golden loom
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

golden loom
#

I mean yeah I have a huge amount of haste

balmy condor
#

yeh

golden loom
#

like 10 or 11k

balmy condor
#

there seems to be at least some trend towards more haste = more vv

#

but I can't begin to explain what's happening

earnest remnant
balmy condor
#

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

static glacier
#

but man u get two more muts of dopamine

golden loom
#

so atleast the fix is a vibes gain

static glacier
#

and the sicko mode rupture animation

#

vs lame envenom thats not even dn

golden loom
#

rupture + bonespike going out feels very good

balmy condor
#

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

hidden bay
#

NOOOOOOOO

static glacier
#

YOO

#

who was that loser who flamed fatebound earlier today

#

i manifested this shit

golden loom
#

I did not even bother simming fatebound, I aint playing it on sprocket either way

balmy condor
#

yeah too bad you add a second target and fatebound falls off a fucking cliff

earnest remnant
#

wish i did as well

red schooner
static glacier
hidden bay
#

yea no. i rather play current build, fuck the 10k dps

balmy condor
# hidden bay NOOOOOOOO

like repeat this sim with fatebound running caustic, and then sim 1 target cleave add with fatebound running caustic as well

static glacier
#

maybe i could cosplay pre-spatter sin

#

where we didnt touch adds ever

golden loom
#

I only played fatebound during my heroic adventures on sikran/kyveza and it just always felt like it did less damage

static glacier
#

I will say one thing

balmy condor
#

whats the issue

#

highroll

static glacier
#

blizz hasnt let sin be bad for an entire tier for a while now

hidden bay

i had wrong gear equipped but thats fine garf

we always get buffed late#

if we start out shit

balmy condor

okay, but problem

#

I'm gonna run out of random 10+ year old bugs to find

golden loom

the head bobbing is the shutter

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

tall atlas

whats the rationale between switiching to AP + VV and MA + TTB

balmy condor

think about that

golden loom
#

still have no idea if that gif is real or not

#

after like 10 years

balmy condor

so idk

tall atlas
balmy condor

rational is that one of those two options sucks

static glacier

I think it's moreso that

IB is like

Whatever

eager pond
#

!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.

IB is an impressively bad talent

eager pond
#

Ye, but on Sprocket theres no adds
So spatter does nothing garf

#

But ye, between IB and other thing....

whats your definition of impact

it impacts deathstalker

#

we play deathstalker in m+

so yes, it impacts m+

balmy condor

what

what

balmy condor

what's this got to do with MA

raw crane
#

No VV

worthy fable
#

ohhh vv

#

Nah I need to start thinking before i write i swear

balmy condor
#

this is deathstalker's mark not perma buffing mutilate in sims anymore

#

so mut is weaker

worthy fable
#

also, what is that weird bug where vanish ambushing applies a perma 3 stack deathstalkers mark?

red schooner
#

I might go back to MA just because I like hitting buttons more and VV means I hit buttons a little bit less

raw crane
#

Change in recommended M+ build?

worthy fable
#

and it doesnt go down until u reproc DN envenom

balmy condor
red schooner
#

But, small difference either way

balmy condor
#

we don't take VV in m+

#

or mut talents at all for that matter

worthy fable
#

like it has to be a bug?

balmy condor
#

I wonder if that old ass command is still around

#

uhhhhhhh

#

!dn

#

maybe I got rid of it

worthy fable
native turret
#

did our single target build change overnight, what yall yappin bout

balmy condor
#

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

worthy fable
#

why u saying "stuck" though? Because it's literally stuck isn't it?

balmy condor
#

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

worthy fable
#

Aha okay, but it is technically applied? But you just cant consume stacks for empowered mutilates?

balmy condor
#

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

balmy condor
#

maybe name change time
