what the hell are you talking about dude

ill show an article later

just a funny comparision of where polish people are right now
I
with our current leadership
that's the definition of politics

you were about to START?
based on the last 10 minutes, I don't think you think about anything before you hit enter
so
I'm gonna say 0 will
its just, being finally free can get to your head
but still
when I get the chance
ill visit us
atleast NY
well i was certainly not expecting the last few minutes of chat
think thats my queue to just go sleep
cue
we
Sleep? Must be nice.
it was okay, until you started talking
and then it was really bad
If you have 2 rogues in raid, would it be good for one to take atrophic and one numbing poison?
no, atrophic stacks, you both take atrophic
just leave it
now i feel bad
Wait really? thought they nerfed that
btw I saw the buffed aug, will it be enough ?
M Vexie... same build as heroic?
yes
yes, bikes need 2 canisters
Lmao I missed a banger convo
Yeah I actually did
how would i run a sim but prevent the sim from using vanish
may the ass gods watch over me in this fight against vexie
would have to remove it from the apl
roger thta
it went from food to kanye very fast
is that easy to do? im not familair with apl happenings
or well in other words what i want to do is sim different assa builds in m+ if we don't press vanish during cds
im not the best either but u can ask what u wanna replace/rewrite and it will work
fuu and whispyr should know

❤️ ty goat
the risk is if you just take vanish out, the sim might just explode cause it'll hold a bunch of other shit
that would not be good
So im wanting to learn assassination rogue and it seems the wowhead mythic+ talent tree has changed, do i really not want to run kingsbane in m+? it seems pretty good to have
you can play it if you want, both kb and non-kb builds are viable in m+
Its easier to play without for sure
!pooling
- 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.
why would you even want to sim without vanish?
current raid ST build doesn't really need to vanish for anything besides fucking up mark
that's probably it
Or because you sometimes need to hold it for mechanics in high m+ to not die 
played my rogue after a month or so yday,i dont like that i dont have IW
i need to ditch somehting for it
ppl dont know how to kick
can drop second shiv or sbs and doomblade for KB and ironwire which is what i do for keys i think i need it
is there a bleed single target build or no?
i feel that ill be fine just with IW,its a group fuctional thingy
im getting the idea that ppl dont have interrupt in their bars
pisses me off
tried couple of keys yday the other two dps had 4 interrupts together
less dmg
that me as well
like wtf are ppl doing,join a key and go afk?
once your .io gets caught up maybe you can sacrifice it for damage. i just had a 13 Priory with a combined 112 interrupts, and that's just by way of details tracking
and that's not even a "high" key
i asked and ret interrupt is 18 seconds; boomie/lock is 30 outside solar beam
yeah ik,im in 14 range on my mage
i think hunter is 20???
i jsut dont like when ppl dgaf for interupts
i wanna jump out of their screen and slap them
yeah it's annoying
if you want to sign up for a real adventure, make a healer late in the season and pug +8's and 9's. it's unreal lol
taking a healer with an interrupt is cheating 
yeah understandable. no need to meander in hell

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
fatebound rotation has any special thing?
with haste increasing our bleed tick rate, does that imply the duration of our bleeds become shorter with more haste?
Bleed duration unchanged. More ticks per bleed
noted ty
Real
i feel like my ST dps is so low now with bleed build. im maintaining all dots and casting CDs appropriately. Anyone else experiencing this?
Assassination st in keys is Dogshit
are you saying it's low cause it's low or are you saying it's low cause it's doing less than hybrid
cause if it's the first, yeah it be like that
if its the second then dunno they basically do the same, bleed usually a tiny bit more
idk in kingsbane build against a training dummy id be around 1.3/1.4 mil and now I'm like 1.1/1.2 in bleed build
can you now understand how long i havnet played?! xD
are you getting to execute range?
yes
True true
no
problem solved
That's why
ah yeah fair
But yea i still don't have the stupid korthia pants
So rn im just magging on my har
Soon
Yep!
Maybe a week or so
also tried MM
It's eh
Not my style
But explosive shot go B A N G
I had a sudden demise for almost 28 million tonight
did quake tell you about our key
Also th9inking of giving fury a shot tbf
Yeah I heard you were double vanishing at the end of packs

aight done with the isle i assume
I think so
Imma give you a comgratulation hug
so, how do you play around with sudden demise then
put a 7pt rupture to something thats below 35%?
also when spreading rupture in m+, can you do it all from one target or do i need to change targets, does it spread autotically from one target
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
Typically you dont really, atleast not in the sense that youre asking for
For example a full entire rupture with demise does about the same damage envenom does with 1 spatter target (ie 2 targets total)
And thats assuming youre not overwriting any of your previous rupture duration
The post from whispyr above is moreso him trying to play around it for the memes rather than it being the fully 100% optimal play

o.O
the wa for crimson? in bleed build?
On longer AOE pulls, how do you guys track rupture to know when to start switching target to reapply? Do you have a good WA for that?
Good plater profile
And most of it becomes a feel-thing anyways

Thx, might benefit from getting a scent of blood tracker until I get a feel for it then
Ok if caustic is that low you’ve Gota test ib
I mean it was a 10
and it was a darkflame
sudden demise pad goes crazy in there
if I were doing like a +5 then sure yeah 
Bleedpilled demisemaxxer
i like how other classes get their bad hero talents buffed
but god forbid theyd touch fatebound or something
Ye its really strange that there was no rogue changes
I’m surprised they didn’t fix some other outlaw bug nerfing spec further
I just open patch notes expecting nothing at this point
Hope is a bastard, just expect nothing and you either get the satisfaction of being right or a pleasant surprise

Imagine dn working on BP
Holy
i will interpret it as rogue getting hero talent reworks
That is one of the interpretations of all time
Honestly the fixes don’t have to be elaborate
Just let DS sub not feel like shit in multitarget and make dn have some more value considering sub lacks spatter
Fatebound sin is a tuning thing really, needs to be a damage increase on multitarget instead of being wack
I mean fatebound is really easy to just go "tuning issue :)"
but there's like
very deep-seated problems with it
like in order to make fatebond viable in m+, I don't think cold blood can ever be played
destiny defined has to be good
but poisons suck, so what is destiny defined doing
Also IMO the idea behind fatebound could be cool but like
In reality it's coing flips n shit
Like they could be doing much cooling things with the whole fate concept
like the hero talent just fundamentally is not really synergizing
Up the numbers on DD enough and it is good
yeah except then it's insano value in raids
I know you might think I’m smirking etc while saying that but I’m being genuine
Just tune up and down the numbers til it functions
well idk why for some classes whenever one of their herotalents is worse it gets attention
I don’t think it’s too far gone design wise
I mean you can't do that though
its value in aoe vs its value in single target
are entirely warped
like warriors, you always see their hero talents get tuned for some fucking reason
shamans
How about this
They remove the fate intertwined 2 target limit and give it the same text as spatter
?
Mountain thane is cooler than all rogue hero talents combined
As in reduced beyond 5

Oh
i thought you meant like
the exact same text
I was like "what the fuck is the point of spatter then"
Nah we’re not trickster outlaw
that would still be anti-synergy with caustic though
Is there a haste % that we're looking to hit for ST?
no
just sime your gear
But yea random side note, been playing Some L4D2 again lately
banger gane
It has so many tiny details that are incredible
Makes it feel much more alive
yeh I mean delivered doom can just remove the scaling that's easy
Low-key I’d love for it to just be removed outright
30% more tails dam all the time might aswell be baked in
yeh would be chil
And they can give a defensive node since tempted fate sucks
Also
Remind me
are the passive utility things from fatebound worse than deathstalker
cause doesn't deathstlaker make CoS also give physical and Eva give magic
Oh
Ok nevermind
You answered the question moe
Tbh simmilar thing with BM rn
With dark ranger, your exhil would also trigger survival of the fittest and vice versa
i think the issue with pack leader is it reinforces the core buttons that reduce the cd of the pets
too much
with pack leader, you just have a thing where when you get low health you get a damage sheild
Meh
I personally like it a lot more than Dark ranger
plus
Much cooler than old pack leader
sv litterally doesn't press killshot or explosive shot on st anymore
deviating from mongoose or kill command is too much of a loss
Bm doesn't press it at all lol
similar case with bm
i wish i could un-talent it
But you can't
not like we need that extra hunter talent point
Fatebound is carried hard by deal fate
its litterally what made non 1 button specs in vanilla bad
deal fate isn't THAT crazy
the coins crank
like actually crank
it's neat but it's just kinda fine
Idk compared to other hero talent points it seems insane
would be cool if one of the cd talents gave you super high crit for a limited time
and moreso on generators
they really missed the high you get when you played fatebound in nw
last boss
come back up
5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >5 cp mut > env >
dopamine
you do WHAT
bro I played this shit a lot
I feel sorry for whoever you played with
nah I cranked
top overall all the time still
I admit its worse than ds
but it's not like in another stratosphere or anything
ur still playing sin
the part I miss most is extra crit on fok tbh
@balmy condor say deal fate's limiter is removed
does that break fatebound?
6cp muts xd

Either way you'd need to redesign some of the fatebound nodes for it to make sense, same as with deathstalker for sub
So its not something thats easily done in a hotfix patch like this
Read the pins but nothing really changes anyways right?
!tott
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
I come with a stupid question! Bleed build: we push Shiv once all bleeds are up to amp them, right? So once garrote / rup / tempest / (and I assume in AoE, spatter) are rolling we shiv to amp it all?
yes
Rad, thank you ❤️
it's just some action tracker weakaura idk
Details has a plugin automatically included in the base version
Called like streamer something
yeah but that would require using a details plugin
I'm not trying to give my pc aids
I mean yeah but that doesn't mean I turn it on
plater has a bunch of dumb shit too
cause details and plater are bloatware addons
Yeah
no reason to enable them in their dumb conquest of killing my framerate
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
do you use default UI with WAs?
i do
plater + Was and default ui
and ur good to go
if i wanna sim an add cleave fight such as stix or rik , do i just sim st with spatter on?
or dslice
kk ty
yeh, plater/wa/default
I try to avoid turning on anything bonus in details/plater unless I have to
Hell yeah default UI
That's fair. I would like the extra frames but I literally can't be bothered to configure the default UI and I'm too anal to leave it as default 
are ppl running Imp Ambush over Tight Spender on bleed?
kinda sad though coz the man worked his ass for it
i really dont understand how people get shit fps when they have better PC than me
i have 0 fps issues in raid
and i always hear people complain
well i do understand why
they have bloated ass game with addons and was
yep 
yes
damn i could have sworn i copied from wowhead
thanks
np
no wonder my dps has been terrible /s
i have no idea how I missed that then, was just looking at a parse of a rogue much better than me (low bar) and saw imp ambush
I deleted 30GB of random old config files from 2005-2008

must have been a fever dream
i blame the dubai chocolate im smashing
Hey,
Any particular advice for Sprocketmonger Mythic ?
hold ur 2 mins til after the knock
dont send cds into the boss right as its gonna knock you xd
Does iron wire work in Subterfuge? (so like when you spam garrote with indiscriminate carnage you mass silence?
lol
yes
get ready to get super annoyed at your raid when they have 3 minute conversations after every pull about which circle was where first
@static glacier Ty
any1 having this problem? my spatter isnt working , like it doesnt apply at the dungeon
Wrong poison most likely
i got deadly and numing poison
You likely either A. Dont have it specced or B. Not having the poisons/rupture up on your target when youre mutilating
what are the stats for bleeding build m+ for crafting ? also for my 3 already craft item should i reforge them ? currently crit mastery
It doesnt really matter
had to go out of the dung respecc into cautic inorder for it to work . weird
Don't be fooled
Did u log the key?
Check your damage break down and see if it says something like "instant poison"
I've also thought i had deadly and numbing on
when the pins say "use vanish during the cold blood" - what does that mean exactly? I assume in that case we put cold blood after kingsbane in our macro so it's not immediately consumed? otherwise if we put it before kingsbane then it'll be consumed before we can vanish
Kingsbane cant consume cb
Fatebound coldblood only works on the next 2 envenoms
So you Deathmark shiv Kb coldblood, build, vanish envenom, build envenom to get multiple double coins
i have energy drink 665 and pacemaker
my crit is like 5578
haste 8598
mastery 20600
should i recraft necklace for crit mastery instead of haste mastery
and then change pacemaker for energy drink?
i just don't know if sims are correct, pacemaker sims to me lower than energy drink
neck is crit mastery and other 2 necks are haste mastery
aight so we vanish directly after kb before any other damaging ability?
Vanish when you have cb up
Is it morally correct to dump hallucinogens into my poisons so the enemies cast and do shit worse
Or nah
So if you have it macroed to kb, then you could do it right after the kb, right after a builder, or right before the envenom, it doesnt matter
Cinder 10. Am I garroting too little or are the spread damages fine?
the tooltip says that any damaging abilty consumes it - the way you're saying that makes me think the tooltip is lying lol
otherwise the vanish would be super specific
Read the tooltip of the fatebound talent
i never ever had issues and then they told me to download some liquid weakaura package thats mandatory and it was shit
read fateblund talents
i just deleted 90% of the useless bloat weakauras and im back to good fps

delete weakauras
remove them from the game immediately
Fatblunt
or just dont be a bozo that downlaods ussules bloat all the time?
are you even reading what i wrote
Well theres critical weakauras you need in those pack
Its just filled with tons of useless shit too
And its really annoying to shift out the trash
yes which is like 1 weakaura from 20 per boss 
and you dont know which ones might fuck everytinhg up till you actually play the boss
if you delete one of them
got it that makes a lot more sense now lol
massive respect to people like you ofc

yeah but its good for now?
idk
ive not noticed any issues
i only played assa on mugzee, so it would work for this build
idk if new bleed builds are needing new trackers and shit

the only thing is like CT on 5+ targets is empowered but not really needing tracked per se
is there an easy way to find the mob you put death mark on in a big pull or is tab targeting 10 times until you land on it just part of the m+ experience
Having a plater profile that highlights it helps
If you are tab targetting you could shift-tab until you get back to it
Or you could just not shift targets
And either tank the small efficiency loss or use mouseover macros
understood i shall simply spam garrote and rupture on my main target until its on everything because that sounds way more convenient and less annoying
i wish this bleed build was better in st because SO much more fun than KB
It is better in ST tho
He probably meant for raid
And I agree, would love to play something more about maintaining bleeds than envenom spam
But thats not how the cookie crumbles atm im afraid
you dont like playing envenom the spec?
honestly might just keep playing outlaw in raid and sin in m+
like seeing a 10 mil envenoms kinda neat but its a lot more fun playing the bleed build
yeah i agree i was mostly joking 🙂
remember in DF when sin didnt even take tempest and just spattered kb for m+
god that sucked
Think I'm the only person that preferred the KB build in keys lol
So, this means VV can do less depending of your char? Again simfiesta 
i honestly dont understand how bleed is more fun in ST
its "press kingsbane every 60sevonds" vs "keep CT running"
thats the only difference lol
yes, just sim them
cuz ambush animation looks pumper
idk something about dot gameplay just feels nice
I like dots
Spec that gives me more dots to maintain
fun
Spec with less dots? Less fun
idk i'm a simple man
Because KB is not bleed
CT is another bleed
Bleed all the way
like ive got a weird obsession with poison and daggers in rpgs but something about kingsbane just doesnt vibe with me
But ye, at ST you will envenom more than at multi
Just it means more envenoms or less because refresh CT 
its just a press and forget tbh
not like you really need to do anything special other than shiv
Why there are so many rogue in Blitzbg who just stay afk and dont Participate now? Started Playing again and after 10 Games i hab 4 of them-.-
i think its because its press and forget that i dont like it
well it's not really press and forget, you do try and fill all ur globals inside it
how does something like crimson tempest work with the square root scaling after 5 targets, is it that you apply a strong CT on 5 targets and then the other targets take a smaller dot or is it equal on all targets
oh yea my bad can u delete?
and you should pool a few secs before
it's np man, just go to pvp for future pvp talk
no more missing my mark target
yea but fiilling all your globals inside of it is more about shiv than the kb
both benefit, either way yeah they've underpowered kingsbane a bit too much atm
ima need that setting
you woulda preferred sin right after the rework
kingsbane was nuclear
we did everything to juice it, tea, shadow dance etc
bleed has our most fun talent, blindside
Does anyone know what % of envenoms damage is the initial hit vs the applied dot?
even timing the branch trinket buff
envenom doesn't apply a dot
dot?
Doesn’t it do damage over time after cast
the application increase?
Well its moreso the fact that a build like the dungeon bleed build is more versatile, can move around shiv depending on where it needs damage, can do damage do adds that needs to die (like rik barrels) and in general just be more versatile than current raid build which cant do anything besides hitting the boss

Bleed is more fun in st bc blindside xd
It’s dumb but true
That dopamine from chain ambush procs
but you have that in raid
and raid ST is more fun than M+ ST
I was under the impression we were comparing bleed to hybrid in m+
yeah but bleed build isn't competing against raid build
it was about raid st
bleed build is competing against hybrid
i feel likes also a bit of a balanced amount of swapping from rupture CT and envenom vs just always pressing envenom in ST
Wait wha
I mean noone plays bleed in raid tho
me once when i got summoned in and forgot to swap specs cos i'm a dumbfuck
yea bleed is really bad in raid
So you mean hypothetically if we had a build that kept ct in st in raid
Vs kingsbane?
ye, that was the main "discussion" there
Just depends if you prefer an extra plate to spin vs kingsbane maxing
I will say having ct be optimal for st in raid would help out our viability / power
Its actually soft capped at 8 not 5 
But its like this:
- 8 targets is 100 * 8 = 800 total damage
- 10 targets is 100 * (10 * sqrt(8/10)) ~= 894
Im fairly sure its equally spread, atleast things like spatter is
i mean, if CT is optimal for raid ST, Something is REALLY fucked in numbers
The glory that was st butchery for sv last raid was unhinged
what about something like stix or gally with a lot of ads
That kinda shit makes you good at precisely what sin sucks at
like, CT allready is overtuned and its desing makes it obvious that its not really supposed to be used in ST
Which is doing good st and aoe at the same time
drop like bone spike and doom for CT?
We have to pay a lot of opportunity cost if we want any more aoe than spatter and ap
stix its valid cus its more Boss dmg when adds regulary reach melee camp
gally? nah lol
Imagine if we could take ct and sudden demise in optimal raid build
Would absolutely crank all adds
!mistakes
im here o/
fuck it sudden demise in stix because i ficking hate those god damn crabs
o/
right so if its equal damage then you can gimping yourself (a little bit) with doing a CT with a bunch of small adds that die instantly
tbh, the important part of cra mb dmg is above 80%
after that they die inside the cleave Blender anyway
yea but you see i have an irrational hatred of bombshell crabs so ill do whatever it takes for them to die faster
Why tho? If it's never less dmg than the softcapped one?
Yooo, from #3 dps to #1 in group with bleed build, thanks ❤️
im going to find you
if its equal damage then its less damage per target, more overall
Ye if you only look at CT
ik it wont be as good but been fucking around with sims and best bleed build i can get for raid is like 250k behind KB
But singular focus makes up for most of it
really?
with something like the affix balls
where you press CT and then they get dispelled instantly
are there any min/maxes you can do around the vanish during cold blood+dm?
what is good overall for priory key lvl around 12?
trying out assa for first time this season and it feels hella stron
i thought it sucks
No assa is incredibly strong
is this normal for priory then?
Looks about right for a 12
ok fuck unh then im back on assa
Truth
Assa will be closer to unh on reset
what about this bleed build?
Its like a 4%¿? overall nerf to uh
is this better then normal?
No way bro
i heard its abotu 2%
More like 2%
That nerf is token
Its because theyve seen the clips of somebody getting perfect procs and doing 50m on first pull priory
For that specific pull its way more than a 2% nerf, but to the overall of the dungeon its not a whole lot from what ive gathered
if you are lucky guy it can be more than 2% if you are unlucky it can be less
No i dont care about clips, just saw on acherus that it was 20% nerf to bloodbeast, i always see that as like 15-20% overall when i do keys with dks
ur lucky 😉
Eh maybe
i probably dont remember the keys where the dk had 0 procs
i do remember the top where the dk dismised pet after xav
and forgot to sumon a new one 🙂
Based into oof
Yed i remember it like it was yesterday
in fact, it was yesterday
ans we somehow timed it
are there any additional min maxes to consider other than vanishing at any point during coldblood+dm?
As fatebound? Probably not really.
fatebound assa is a bold risk
why is that
I personally hate the gameplay loop
My favorite part of fatebound assa is my opener being a 50% chance to be 7% agility or cursed
fun
Is it possible to do Bleed build in +15s and if yes what dungeons
Arent you missing like a ton of ST
Hybrid build ST is still pretty bad
Might as well not kneecap your AoE

And blindside gives serotonine when procs twice or more in a row
dont get me started on those Mak'rura Clackers in Durotar. It's on sight with those. I'll kill a whole generation of them for what they did to me in Classic HC

I was leveling as a good little orc, minding my own business when i die to a clacker. I was shocked. And then it dawned on me. I was underwater. I had run out of breathe. 🤦♂️
you guys will never understand how much stupidity like that hurts.
Great. Now the rogue discord is gonna think I’m weird haha
now playing with the bleed build in aoe i have barely any problems but in ST (mainly bosses) i struggle hard and im not sure what im doing wrong im trying to keep all my bleeds up and i use deathmark on cd with shiv's but i have a lot of energy issues and lack dmg
I’m no expert but I always have issues with energy when I don’t have the replenishment from the conquering of my lesser foes.
thats just assa in general in m+ ST
shouldnt my boss dmg be higher though
(+14)
possibly
What do you sim at? But generally I want to say yes
i do have eye of kezan but im not sure how well its in m+
in a vid of Whispyr he said that its not that good in m+ but since most tanks chainpull should i still consider it?
Bleed is more st than hybrid
Kingsbane is trash
If you can have it stacked its insane, if you dont its bad
So only way to tell is to have your runs logged and check your uptime yourself and decide if its worth or not
But generally its hard to get good value without your group playing around it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
eye of kezan sucks dick in m+
especially for us since we like dropping combat
for other specs that would never want to drop combat its workable
well i think dropping combat is not needed with "without a Trace" you can have a lot of chainpulls and restealth with vanish and jump at the new pack
in high keys i mean
if your tank let your restealth then you re either in low key so doesnt matter, or it s depleto and doesnt matter either
most packs take arround 1min 30 at least and 2 charges is more then enough for pretty much the whole dungeon
there are scenarios wher its a bit meh
like first bl pull where you just want to put more dots or get them to sudden demise range
the cool point about bleed build is that since caustic and envenom are such clown disguises, it s not even a big deal to chain a pack without a vanish and just dot one by one them all
not like you re gona chain a 10 mob pack into a 20 mob pack, that never happen
isn't 1 of these charges reserved for deathmark
well i only save one for bosses and ussualy you can restealth normaly for them
but yes
and i play arround my comp in the sence of if i have strong St dps in my group then i "care less" about my St and focus on the trash
since bleed is so good for it
You ever pug and wonder what the rest of the group is doing
in a raidsituation, would you ever spare your shiv for this after deathmark darkest night hit and use it for this? or just regular 2 charges per KB
Spare your shiv for what? Normally it'd be 2 shivs in deathmark/kingsbane window, 1 shiv in the lingering darkness/darkest night combo for the big envenom, then 1 shiv for the solo kingsbane and repeat
Unless it doesn't line up with the lingering/darkest night which happens sometimes at which point you'd use two shivs on solo kingsbane
in the solo kb window most likely last 8 secs then to shiv?

Rik Reverb Barrels (and similar spread cleave in raid)
- Not your problem.
- Assassination is the worst target swapping spec in the game, and we have no tools available to deal with the situation of priority spread cleave. Caustic can reach sometimes but similar to fire mage, the boss needs to be on top of the adds, causing caustic to often be out of range.
- If you're truly hellbent on swapping to barrels, hold your nearest darkest night and just slam a darkest night envenom into them and pray. If you're quick enough you can also pool combo points/energy and cast a rupture on a barrel to try and caustic off of them. This still will not do good barrel damage, again, the spec is doomed for it
- Another possible option would be talenting into Crimson Tempest by untalenting Bone Spike and Doomblade. This CAN TECHNICALLY provide a bit of barrel damage, but the spawns need to be immaculate and any difficult spawns will just result in no barrel damage again.
With all that, the best advice we have for swapping barrels: - Swap to Subtletly.
Yeah, shivless first 8, shiv latter half
So, question on rik, even if I just focus boss is it worth just dropping a rupture on one of the near barrels just for an energy top up?
only if it lives for 8s or more
I think the break even point is if the target lives longer than 8 seconds then it's worth it
otherwise its a waste of energy
Otherwise it's better to just keep cycling your mark on main target and spatter
in hybrid in m+
do i want one garrote on prio target and 5ish ruptures around the pack
zerocoolex has weakaura on rupture and garrote , every time hes in aoe with mobs it says 1/8 example. Does anyone knows what weakaura that is ?

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
Corrupt the Blood/Rupture Bug
Corrupt the blood can jump to mobs that are out of combat when the rupture-afflicted target changes from harmful to non-harmful
This is repeatable with mind control, but is most common on the third boss of Grim Batol when skipping the two elites before the boss.
You can avoid it by being EXTREMELY careful to not target anything when your target shifts, but otherwise not much to be done. Just be careful and aware as it is a niche bug that should not happen frequently
does ambush also apply caustic
too lazy to read it
nah tooltip is scuffed
It also applies if you have amplifying
did u kill sprocket or was it 3 hours of all pain no gain?
is VV only worse in sims or actually; im a little confused by the post
the HOUSE OF PAIN
we go again tomorrow night
ouch
Right
One day tooltips in this game will work
we have 11 ranged
in raidsituations, do we still care about envenombuffuptime? like chaining blabla?
so I guess we need 2 or 3 deaths? to get melee drills
we dont have enough players to swap out melee and ranged per boss
we just have to play it as it lies
you guys have like 2x of all specs 
you will catch me in molten core before I am playing a ranged class in world of warcraft
do you play vv or ma on mugzee
all that matters is execute so surely VV cranks

On mythic? Are pugs doing mythic Rik now?
they probably try
some do yeah
Yeah, 2/8M is puggable (but painful) and a few groups are trying to do rik first before cauldron
my guildies pug 3/8 weekly
issue is you just need selfless people who will hardfocus barrels
but muh logs
logs in pugs are hilarious
any idea how to sim with extra energy refunds
trying to judge what build to play for bandit
but i could just not pug and not meet said people
my guild confuses me enough
Haha, valid
I did a Mythix Vexie pug this morning and it only took us 2 pulls. But we had some interestings people regardless.
I think ill stick to vv, I suspect imp gar ma doesn't benefit at all from extra energy while vv will
Why is my darkest night disappearing every now and then on boss fights with adds?
depends on the boss. Sometimes the boss doesn't class as 'dying' so it doesn't trigger darkest night
i tried to pug mythic last week and uh
it was not fun lmao
but that was me joining groups not making my own
Vexie should be fine if the raid lead explains how to do it with the ~pug tactic~
If they don't then it's never dying lmao
pretty sure the raid leader didnt even know how to do it
a bunch of them were 5/8h lmao
Quite common haha
guys is it worth switching from sub to the new assasination build now in M+ ? Currently doing 14s but i feel sub dmg is lackluster and doesnt scale well the higher keys you do
I mean I’m 5/8h and I can do mythic vexie easily, my pug group tho…
Had a group wipe last night as vexie was popping out of the car/tank thing, Heartbreaker
damn, tragedy
ye, def. My trick is to have people write a mythic change ot the fight in their note to join my groups
that stinky spunkjunker mount is mine \o/
it works so well. You might go "Well, they'd just open the journal and write it from there" but aha! they've looked in the journal!
Yeah last tick of the aoe before tank died killed almost everyone. I was alive with like 1 mil health and he one shot me. If evasion was off cd maybe doable
Stix my Bunk in her Junker
True! It’s really pretty easy if you just watch a video
It seems to happen awfully often on ric reverb, but also on vexie, bunkjunker, bandit, mugg and gally
It happens usually when switching back to the boss, and noticing that my hero talent is once again gone😅
Yeah! It's a super chill fight.
the tech is to do carnage first and vexie second
so u dont get a fucked lockout
if the pug chimps it
Yeah, that's a really good idea
It's what I'm planning to do once I start trying to do 2/8M's
That's all eight 10's timed 
gz
not even close
It’s literally the same except no kb
It literally would not have been if the tank wasn't gunning down both I'pa and Benk's hallways like a madman, leaving the healer struggling to keep us up.
12 deaths
Never a full wipe
fatebound simming 2% better for sprocket
time to learn
On my char DS still sims higher than fatebound 
i already know im gonna be stuck on sprocket for a while so im gonna play both just to mix it up lmao
Im a simpleton and like to get hype over flipping the same coin for a while
I played it some in NP lol
SO i assume you would be entertained by a letter with " Please turn around" on both sides 😉 😛
What do you mean learn
Isn't it just the exact same but you macro CB to somethignb
time for coinmaxxing
mfs say that as if fatebound is not literally rng based 
yea

would need to be atleast 5% to be worth considering

should i have no issue with keepiong the envenom buff on boss, i feel like im losing it from time to time when having to refresh dots
In what context
2nd boss Rookery, playing the bleed build
oh ok good to know
Keep bleeds up and use darkest night 
did the rupture sniping conditions get updated yet
including crimson tempest right?
yeeees
Wait so for ST do you not just press enven in Mythic
No way that's right? Or am i misinformed by my own brain
u just reading it wrong
its m+
You still press it. He just means trying to maximize the buff uptime on it is irrelevant
LE LISONNA TYVM YOUR AURAS ARE AMAZING
Ohhh
You press it but, it isn’t the priority to chain the envenom buff over maintaining bleeds

Akak don't play rogue
we want 6-8 bleeds up in aoe (gar and rupture combined) right
we want 5 rupture for scent
one garrote on main target?
so one gar 5 rupture for scent?
im assuming i wanna try and maintain this even out of ic
"Macro cold blood to kingsbane. Use vanish during the cold blood in deathmark." Isnt colb blood just crit on your next env? how can i vanish during cb then
i think they meant kb not cb
for the vanish
so just normal vanish for the crit the last x seconds of kb ?
or does it mean use cb -> vanish -> finisher
kb+cb>envenom>vanish>envenom
thank you
one of the hero talents makes it work on your next 2 envenoms
that is the window people are referring to
cb causes the first envenom to match whatever coin you flipped previously, then vanish causes the second envenom to flip that coin twice
so it increases your odds of getting 7 of the same in your opener
oi oi oi, so i have bis rings equipped including cyrce's but im simming higher dps by like 100m with a myth ring, is that normal?
10m* lmao
wait
100k xd jesus
i see, so one flip from the cb1 env, then i vasnih and cb2 env has a double effect, or just a normal effect
it'll flip twice yeah
and bc of cb both of those flips will match the previous one
how bad is parsing blue
double check u have the correct gems in circlet
AAAAA how big of skill issues do I have idk its driving me insane
ok ty for the explanation
I do
link sim?
I feel like I am fucking up too much
sec
You’re supposed to tunnel boss on every fight if you can get away with it
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/31hwCsAAKBe1TETozBWdyA Lol ok nvm, enchants were changing it xd
min max MAXIMUM
What is the point of that if CB only applies to envenom anyways for fatebound?
It’s just because you’d press it there anyway
So just macro it to kb for efficiency

Big blutroter sturm
Any sense in Tap target in m plus ?
blutroter sturm is what happens when i got to the toilet
When you aren't running "improved garrote" how are you using vanish?
for fun
no offensive cd then
without ma and imp gar (so vv raid build) vanish isnt a dps button
you just use it if you drop mark somehow or to troll fixates
Alright! Thank you!
Is bel short for bellend?
no its short for dn
Bellend 

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/p1Rquu1bFBHkd49ku8fP3W damn, would not have thought its that big of a difference
anyone have the weakaura where it shows a number for how many ruptures are up in a pack?
yes i just like it the most, but idk if i am trippin regarding the helmet color. Could have sworn it was lighter back then, black now
i just wish i had the shoulders tbh

gz, i run normal back as well since 1s sprint > stats :x
@royal lantern imma raid normal today for the first time. Tldr what do I need to know that changed besides talent builds? Asking for a friend
(I am the friend)
UwU
uwu
well it was sarcasm
nothing really in gameplay in raids
IB only on sprocket, everything else is spatter
careful not to drop mark since some bosses aoe like ansurek
Fair enough, sounds easy.
like first one
hell yeah, raiding
also oab cant be moved into spatter range so can go ib on that fight
A healer irl friend will join me to try and boost me with gear too
Normal is pretty easy I think you will do fine!
I honestly just need to do the fight once, then I can parse my 99s
First tier in 5(?) years I've kinda skipped
you were almost free
Watch the stankiegaming youtube guides so you know all the mechanics.
what changed
Are you pugging it?
MH wilds patch... I've finished it in the first 5 hours
Now I've nothing to do again
Yes
My guild's other rogue joked "yo royal, it ain't fair that you sub during the week we get curve man"
Ahahaha
@normal mist ye wait, 1 special thing
first boss you can not use DM on pull and just send a solo KB instead, cus you will have DM+KB for the dmg amp intermission then
hey do u mess with ur opener on stix ?
It feels like there is not enough GCD before sorting if i do it properly
Believe me or not, that's the only boss I saw the fight ah yeah gotta wait for DMG amp
dmg amp happens like, at 1:20 ish iirc
Ye, sounds right for normal
Just hope you don't get picked for sorting. Its too long a wait to hold
Since it's 4 plate stacks
im just sending CDs before the envenom but it might be dumb
that way if im picked im still okay
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
some people hold cds some people just send
do whatever feels best to you
hey quick question, with the bleed build i know you wanna crimson tempest in st, but is it the case for the "regular" build ?
