nah, the 50% more dmg buff for mut/ambush after you consumed a mark stack
we don't even have any listed on our server 
the part everyone forgets exists
i guess that also caused vv to oversim
I mean
it's not hard to forget that
it's what
like
+200k damage every finisher?
this sims horrifically for me
I have big mastery on my current neck and it's too much to lose apparently
is theer an ideal offpiece for tier
the recommended one is the chest, but until you get ideal gear, it's likely that set head is the least useful, IIRC
Whatever you dont have myth track
frankly it doesnt matter
sin stats are too close
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
double myth tier cant complain much
chest is best for stat/ilvl, innit?
gonna see Jastor in here tomorrow 
I'll call Ion and tell him to give you one
ty
even though you yelled at me for not playing the game 
chest/legs/head are the 3 big pieces
play on EU and ill do all weeklies with you 
I mean if you dont have a mythic chest thats pretty much the absolute best thing you can get
I made crafted legs because wasnt sure we were gonna kill stix again in the next reset
i'm simming
Well thats a sprocket only thing anyway
true
If theres ever any mobs nearby fatebound stinky
i think in theory i should just take the legs or chest and then craft a 675 waist
didnt fate already sim higher in previous season? and yet barely anyone was using the build?:S
you swap spec tbh
barely matters anyway since any boss with spatter
but i'm short on crests
It took 1 heroic pug fatebound pull for me to remember that no matter how much better it sims its god awful and awful and shit
you played ds
no matter what you do short of sending deathmark in an add
unironically, EU would work better with my current schedule
is meaningless
I didnt get capstone until 20% boss hp
opener
flip 6 heads
flip 1 tail
want to kms
ye thats true
I will never play it ever again
it did sim higher in s1 if you had gear for it
nerub had 2 pure st fights, 3 if you count rashanan... and noone played fate :S
i highkey think rash wasnt great for fate
ME WHEN I NEVER GOT LUCKY COIN FOR OUR ENTIRE BEST SPROCKET PULL
coins aint affected by zoldyck iirc

while dn env is
nah you played spatter on radh
brother 7% agility definitely affects zoldyck
God awful sim bait hero talent on god
huffing high copium
wym
that spawns werent shit
only 5 upgrades left from the raid then i have completed the game
I hope you get them all because I love you and I want you to be happy
if you dont proc lucky coin your dps is dogshit

you want to proc lucky coin with ur first 7 flips
myth magnet or myth chest help
I wonder if there is anything nearly as RNG as Fatebound Outlaw in the game
I might start searching for mines at the local beach if I play FB on prog tomorrow
surely we kill it today
we had multiple perfect pulls chached by people fucking up polarity or the knockback for 2nd intermission

Bombaclat
i put save me - chief keef on loop
how to uptate my raid io so i shows i have done the heroic bosses i did?
That's what I'm figuring will happen in 7 hours when I open vault
im wearing nothing i got in main raid
Anyone know why my Caustic its not on first place? 😄
CT hit hard like gorilla
surely signet no?
You’re not applying it with muts every 9ish seconds?
Seems right to me
thanks! got signet
yeah getting tier is not special since so many options
What about in-game?
time to go male maghar and just wear the horrific visions helm
only 1 item away from everything being crafted/myth
we almost there boys
hero seaforium holding me back

Only one item holding me back from 665 in every slot aside from Circe
No
didnt think so
eye of kezan is so good on progg, when you are doing those 1-3min pulls for whole night and basically playing with one trinket 😄
myth pacemaker supremacy
obligatory weekly vault spam for tradition
yeah its not the greatest vault to exist
congrats on the socket ig?
Hoping we get AotC tonight.
i mean the neck is pretty good for me
true
sims at 1% upgrade so it could be worse
but i could also take socket and craft neck
should probably sim that
oh he deleted it
😦

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fJUwRTuni9X2R2AyjyaNyc is something weird with my sim? eye only a sidegrade vs. pacemaker on a 7 min sim? i wouldn't normally blink an eye but I dont think it was like this before, I had a normal eye that was competitive with pacemaker even on a 5 min sim
Is "dungeon slice" accurate when simming?
if your crit rating is higher than mastery rating (number not %) it's not a huge upgrade
i have to lose about 3k for mine to work like house of cards u_u
if you also play sub is prly upgrade there
it gave me like 40k dps :/ but here are my stats from 2.080m to 2.12m 664ilvl
So, I got hero track shoulders (gives me 4p) or Myth track Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker in my vault
Thinknig about just grinding out keys this week and getting my own helm/shoulders
i mean thats not even a choice
you take the pacemaker literally 100 times out of 100 there
really?
yes brother
you can grind out hero shoulders from like half the dungeons in the game + raid
you can only get myth track pacemaker from vault
do we know best enchants in 11.1.5 for us yet? cursory search I only see a recent message:
only playable enchantment gonna be head slot that provides just 1% dmg
are we still getting dinars next week?
Is mastery or crit our best stat? I keep seeing different things
there has been radio silence from blizzard, but nothing suggests that we are getting them
True, but funny enough, Hero Track (4/6) Eye of Kezan sims higher than Myth track (1/4?) Seaforium
then I should get a crafted ring?
I see on BIS list a bunch of mastery/haste gear instead of the available crit/haste gear
ok but now sim a 678 pacemaker lol
yeah ur fine those are good numbers
this entire sim is at low accuracy because it simmed tier then gave up
lmao
i have a dawnthread from last season and i think radiant crit and im not getting up
lol
plus you didnt sim upgrades on any of the myth track stuff
Good to know
do you guys run tempest on heroic stix?
is it fine to hold major cooldowns if an enemy will die in a certain amount of seconds?
or do i just say fuk it and nuke anyways even if there is like 6 seconds left lol

if the dude is about to die then dont send cds on them yeah
maybe a shiv for a bit of sudden demise cheese at most
well idk how long left they have to live for it to be ok
or worth
ofc i cant know 100%
thats something you have to trust your heart for
so I have had super shit luck with rings this season would I be better crafting a binding of binding or a ring of earthern craftsmanship
I know this is a bit of a dumb question probably..
But Blood Mallet shows Mechano-Core Amplifier is like the 10th best trinket
But WH says it's BiS
I know I'm following WowHead and not BM, just curious what the major discrepency is
Sure, but I'm asking because I'm curious if it's worth me spending the time running delves
Or should I just send it on m+ and not give af
you'd answer that by simming the trinket vs other trinkets
eh, fair
that would give you the most personal answer
Am I crazy or does house of cards not sim that well
nobody can tell you what your time is worth
equal to a priory trinket imo
i run priory/hoc
also is there some cool tech for assa rogue with meld?
ok well
well that's not great
it's my only option
go get more options
floodgate brotha
i have been in the floodgate trenches but no avail


well double on use is probably why hoc isnt simming very well for you
under normal circumstances priory and hoc are about equal
yea ripping a hoc outside ur buffs does approximately nothing
back to floodgate sad asf
i guess using it with hybrid or in raid is okay ish
it will be worth it
since u have a kb or dm kb for each trinket
or it was okay in s1 with transmitter and skardyns atleast
So hoc and priory is about equal?
for assa yeah
yeah for Sub, I think HoC smashes everything
Oh thats nice
i think hoc is slightly better but its kinda based on stats (sim urself)
yeah HoC is a 90s cooldown which sub needs
So priory on vault is really nice
yes its probably one of the single best items you could get from vault lol
especially if you arent a mythic oab killer
The delves trinket does good numbers for me - in Sims anyway
Same for azerokk's heart, it's not as good as the pacemaker, but it's passive and it works
is it worth it over pacemaker?
hero to hero yes
for heroic track yeah
You get 1 map every week
but you only have one chance a week at the delve trinkets
Getting the hero track delve trinket is one chance a week + vault though, so you gotta be lucky
my dh got mechano core first map of the season

I've not specced havoc once on it yet
I've got it on champ track and it still only just sims worse than a 6/6 hero track azerokk

the hero once a week drops from the map only?
Yeah, do the map after the respawn stone and it guarantees a hero track item in the bountiful cache at the end
That hero track item could be a shitty piece of nitroclad garbage every week though...
You don't need to ask me how I know
Yeah, 3 shots from the vault, that does mean running 8 delves a week though and frankly that's depressing
I think I got the amorphous relic a few times too, absolute TRASH
is bleed better for ToP?
i play bleed eveyrwhere
feels like st is better on bleed

kingsbane kinda trash
they take like 5 minutes
They're both nothing to write home about
another week, another mythic honeybuzzer
Not for an 8, quickest I've done a tier 8 is about 10 mins.
ye true
just blindside kidna makes me feel better
I've done tier 11 in 5 minutes
its very strong if you dont have a myth passive trinket
Well congratulations. I haven't, so running 8 delves a week is a pain.
I don't raid, so it'd just be vault stuff
if u dont have myth gloves, take the myth gloves and just spam devles
Yeah if you don't raid your next best passive trinket is myth pacemaker.
In that case it's pretty much BIS
or m+ for pacemaker hero
Pacemaker on myth track is probably better, but you don't have that right now
best pick of that would be the myth gloves it hink
And you may never ever get it
do sidestreet sluce
is there a guarenteed way to get a map or do you really just spam delves
You do delves and it either is in the end chest
or underpin attacks you mid delve
and drops one
you can buy a thing to spawn underpin
Yes, get the signal scrambler thing from the vendor in dornogal to summon the underpin - he always drops the map
I lost like 40k sim damage but I didn't see anything in class tuning. Did I miss something?
you guys are elite gamers
I've also had him just attack me first delve of the week.
But im deranged and almost at the 500 delves achieve
across all characters
Funny way of spelling 'no life, touch grass', but thanks
do you need to run t11? i already got my gilded stash
Nah, only 3 T11 a week - go 8 after that
and it'll still be hero from the map?
Yep
pog ez
I've stopped doing the 11s now, get max crests from M+ every week anyway
Just run fungal folly. It's very fast most of the weeks. There is one in Hollowfall that is very fast too if you get the "light up the fires" one. Just go around in stealth skipping everything and then blind/sap + vanish. At the end of the delves remember to change talents to pure ST for the final bosses
Sidestreet sluce in undermine is the best
or the nightfall one where you shoot yourself out of the cannon
It does like 3m damage per hit to anything you land on +4s stun with no DR
+spammable
Seems nice
Funnily enough i got a healer and tank that play now
So i might be able to push higher
i feel like i cheated as i did do 1 13 with a healer + tank premade
do you play eye of kezan instead of pacemaker on 7 min fight? i see ppl stil play pacemaker on one armed bandit?
They probably don't have eye.
Why is sidestreet fast, don't you have to disable the things like 7 times with the robot. Or can you just skip?
alr
its kinda funny how that concept is a bit missing sometimes
Yeah thats fast to do
nah tryan everyone is in a guild that does 3-4 splits
like, you can be world first player, bad rng can still mean you just dont get the stuff and use w/e is avaible 
Even then you can be fucked on trinket rng
despite being the only main
You can also just tricks bran and disable things while he tanks as healer spec
can anyone show their post dungeon dps breakdown running the bleed build?
My guild still hasn't seen an eye drop since week 2 of h gallywix
Kinda funny
my guild has killed normal and heroic OAB every week so far and gotten exactly 1 normal hoc drop
We've seen more war bound jastors than eyes
I hecking love rare items that everyone wants
just get 1 in vault 🦐 issue

I don't need eye, I got mine from the heroic cache like 2 weeks ago
we just keep pacemaekr till we get bandit - gallywix and use eye of kezan?
why am I simming over 500k dps lower with assassin than the other specs
we saw the spocket healer trinket 1x in total across all difficultys lol
Use pacemaker on fights shorter than 5-6 min
sims are not comparable between specs
Same we havent gotten a pick me up in weeks
But 2 lock n loads last week
But maybe mythic locknstock dies this week and we get one who knows
is there a minium haste we should have or should i be prioritized last
!stats
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
- Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
does crafting & recrafting a ring still let you upgrade a second ring for free
does your guyses vers sim more than it should? I'm on 11% vers right now and if I sim any other stats instead of vers i get like -20k DPS
nope
but the siren isles ring cheese still works
only lets you upgrade for free up to 658 tho
@balmy condor Hello sir. Is there a way to reduce activity time while simming a fight? KInda like the line you gave me the other day to force cyrce's stat?
Yes but it doesnt really represent ingame downtime very well
@spice surge miss us
Bro popped my pops too many times
Call that sudden demise


well it is what it is. If you could tell me?
I'm using light and heavy movement
but idk
Yes its those

our offhand doesn't matter at all correct? testing some things with old world items
its just w/e stats we can get on it
Correct
Afaik theres nothing cheeky you can do with old items or enchants on your offhand
Its all just worse than a regular dagger
didn't do a ton of dmg but timestrike did almost as much as my ST sim garrote

Hey all, between sub and sin, for prog on last two bosses on mythic which spec is recommended, wanna hear opinions
sin is one of the best specs in the game full stop for mugzee
idk anything about gallywix on mythic but it seems like it doesnt really matter which one you play
hello guys, who play bleed build ? i dont see anyone playing it at the top RIO
soontm
obviously though play what you're better at
Either is fine on gally really. Assa is gonna do more damage overall but sub will do more damage on the things that need damage the most (the shield on pull and the technicians)
You shouldn't sim stat weights btw
I'm not simming stat weights, I'm simming different stats in order to recraft my crafted items. For example I have vers/mastery crafted neck that sims the best regardless of what stats I change it to
NNearly timed a 13 priory too
Overtimed by like 10 seconds or so because we had multiple tank deaths n such
Also i went from like
70% hp to 0 in a frame
get got
skillzed
Well missed kick
3015 io gettin turned down for 10s, hell yea
back to queu, bozo
not cool enough, need more rizz
Hi royallll!
Hi Ven!!!!!
Nah, its fine, maybe some buffs here and there
but overall any spec works
(for legal purposes, its a joke)
and i can access it
chromium pov
just closed an re-opened, came back to life
I wish I could get paid to make a shitty product
how do I sign up for that reality?
its getting more common
you might be able to
i love paying for shitty services
Im ok with this.
POV: the arms warrior in your guild does a weekly key with an assa rogue
Fuck yeah that's determination
I was purposefully sniping packs with vanish bleed spreads
just so he couldn't execute

nice fucking work lool
as you should
Mountain Thane Fury looking ass
Perhaps a super dumb question. But do we actively press slice n dice?
Or is it just like outlaw and you automaticly get it when you envennom?
No it does itself
I'm sorry what?
Envenom applies it
yeh when u press evenom u get slice
Pressing envenom gives u slice
So you dont need to press it
Thank you ^^. I got the choice of going rogue or havoc and I cant for the life of me go the meta route
So reading up some before i dabble into the class
Havoc is very meta
The CD

😎
/wa
could there be a case for fatebound on mythic mugzee 
Not if theres any adds ever
we typically hold both shivs for kingsbane window right? it just always lines up, espeically in a strict ST fight
as DS, you send one shiv inside Lingering Darkness
so your non DM kingsbanes will be with 1 shiv
for FB, you ll hold both shivs for KB

Gaols*
why does arterial precision sim better than ttb for fatebound vs deathstalker in pure st?

ttb vs arterial barely matters anyway
goon tombs*
its like a 1% diff
which isn't nothing
Not anywhere near that when I simmed it
sorry .8
I don’t remember it being that big but I haven’t simmed in a bit
yeah I havent simmed in a little bit but it was like .2 when I did
oh I never simmed it fatebound either
so yeah
Oh the difference is higher for fb probably because of imp gar
hm i guess thats true
this might be a silly question but does the sim overvalue haste? I see most top logs running like 10-14% but even though im sitting at 11% its telling me to recraft all my gear to haste stuff. should i just trust it
we sim
4 items to recraft would probably put me around 20%
Yeah in my gear for deathstalker aterial sims 0.1% higher
We like haste
haste is good stat too 🙂
Couldn't find the pin
pin deadge
okay ill trust
i hate it when my DM kingsbane gets parried on kill try...
Hi, can you recommend our embelishments when we play raid and m+?
Looks like every top sin plays something different
capitalize your equipment set names
NEVERR

Yeah just checked with FB, TTB definitely loses a lot on FB because of the improved garrote/MA window during arterial. About 1% worse
Should I sim for raid using Patchwerk? If not, which option should I be using?
Patchwerk will be the best for ST fights
pets pull aggro in shroud right
Did they break the spec?
I went from doing 3.4M overall to struggling to do 2.5 and my caustic splatter just isn't doing damage
this is from a 10 Rookery
no, youre probably swapping target too much for CS to do anything
this is a 10 cleft
Garrote and rupture above CT signals that you're playing incorrectly
I'm doing exactly the same as I was this morning farming the last 10s
and caustic WAS doing more before
in the EXACT same dungeon, which is why I'm so confused
Here's an original question, do we vanish/gar during DM if we dont have MA?
its literally a cog in my wheel
icl
but no
the only reason to use vanish now is to redot
atleast if ure using hybrid
Idk looks like about half your envenom dam, and you're not spattering as much as you used to. Also depends on how tank pulled the dungeon and how long you had to spattee
I had more of a raid st in my mind but ok
oh yeah
i actually dont know the reason for using vanish
i.e if you die
and lose your mark, save vanish so you can remark
do bleed build change stats value? I did some craft sim for a neck and says i should make vers + mastery instead of crit.
heres the sim for refecence: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kSsZy3zaei9GQ9U1ZdsA9b
Pins
they dont say anything aboud the versa value
Sorry if its been discussed ad nauseum already, but how "good" is Eye of Kezan for Sin rogue? I know "sim yourself" , but practical use etc. Is it difficult to use , low max stacks uptime etc etc
at 665+ or so, are yall seeing eye of kezan simming higher than seaforium in almost all sim scenarios?
heh
oh hey... lol
Its better on longer fights
no doubt kezan is one of our best, i just see 47/50 using seaforium on murlock.io whereas kezan consistently sims higher
makes sense though if it's better on longer fights
in M+ do we use mana oil or stick to whetstone
i assume it's better if u stay at high stacks
i sim kezan at different fight lengths and see how long my fights are lasting and go with that
Seaforium is easier to get by far
Eye you’re either rolling or praying for loot council
If the fight doesnt last long enough for you to get full stacks generally Seaforium is better.
thanks all
all I need is a mythic helm and i’m basically done with meaningful upgrades
Seaforium vs Signet?
time to play other games
Seaforium better for all content
Signet can be replaced with HoC from dinars assuming they come
But you can't really go wrong with either
is the a time when Eye getter better? how long for max stacks?
If the fight ain’t long eye can’t compete
Sims at 5 mins + have Kezan better unsure on the exact length that it falls off and Seaforium is better
And for us Seaforium is very good timing wise and competes with kezan in 5mins anyway
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
While for other classes eye is significantly ahead
One thing kezan really helps with is our execute which is really sins main strength in raid
Its a blindside proc
It doesnt actually do the damage of both
Its just casting mutilate, which then casts an ambush
thanks
!stix
do balls
can some fatebound god tell me whether to hold coldblood for 2nd kingsbane or just yolo it on CD?
thats stix
you macro it with kb mate
which is on cd aswell
45s vs 60s cd though
I am aware of that
so the "real" cd is more like, 50-55sec
You guys run hybrid instead of bleed for rookery? Last boss feels aids on 15
KB for every transition seems good but maybe doesn’t help as much as I think? Idk
why would i run less boss dmg then
ah because of the hero talent envenom only
More burst with KB for transitions isn’t helpful?
ye
kb doesnt do big dmg mate
and deathmark is stronger on bleed aswell
Ok good cuz I’m loving bleed build.
what is that supposed to mean
wet noodle
lol
oh, thats a noodle 
Its an actual gif of Kingsbane use
Ok
ok so
in raid do we try to snipe our charged combo point or do we keep using envenom on 6/7 CB?
am i understanding SDs tooltip wrong

but how are we proccing 10m hits
oh nvm
i did read the tooltip wrong
so SD is basically a "chance" touch of death
You always finish on 5, darkest night on 7
What
What
What about sudden demise is a chance
a chance I need to go change my pants
if the bleed hits 150%
it would be like a ToD
since ToD is % based aint it
or am i stupid as usual
ToD is just % of your health, sudden demise is % of your bleed
Yesterday, today, Thursday for sure
do we actually play bleed build or the normal venom/bleed build?
Bleed build generally better
cool^^ like it way more then the 4 posions build xD
icl
i feel at certain points that bleed does better ST on bosses
but i just suck ass
that i dont think i MYSELF do more than i would with hybrid
That would line up with the math so yeh
archon also says most play actuall hybrid but dont like it^^
Well archon is also dumb as shit
call me archon
wasup Archon hows it hangin
No me
No, all of us
Us? 
Murlok is even worse though. It very often happens to show full raid ST builds

because it only tracks what people log out as
And people often log out as their raid build after raiding
lets all start logging out in the most crazy build
Archon is atleast somewhat based on logs
Murlok is even worse lmao
Oh eleem beat me to it
I’m slow
Crab build
Did the M0 dungeons reverted to being weekly in S2?
Ye
Aye
wtf is even going on. wake up one day and your class is nerfed then wake up another day and we have corruption. Next day fuck it bring back dinars. Maybe next week theyll fix the DC’ing issues but nah we’ll get some more recycled content!
is the 0.3% pool before kingsbane min max only applicable if envenom buff wouldnt fall off? assume envenom buff going into kb more important but want to be sure
what class is nerfed
what
I’m high
hes high
Envenom buff going into kb is why we pool, you always envenom->shiv->kb
oh ok i thought the 50-60% energy thing for 0.3% gain was to press more stuff post kb and not for pre kb ty
The most important part of kb are the first 3-5 seconds

After that you can kinda just let it ride
tyty
!fuu

When we have two shiv charges? With one, we shiv at the end right?
Yes
I changed my name otherwise i woulda said
"I would never have only one charge of shiv"
rip Tonytwoshivs
or whatever it was
cause my brain has holes
smooth with holes, just like swiss cheese
that was correct
improvised seaforium pacemaker heroic track, or myth track tier gloves? I have heroic track gloves rn, and trinkets are hero suspicious energy drink, hero eye of kezan, and hero mechanocore amplifier
myth gloves you can farm hero pacemaker
truu
a hero signet would also do you a lot of good
did sims update for patchwerk w VV buld
am simming a tiny bit lower than last week w same setup

ok ty
i see it now
sup, is there any cool assa tech with nelf meld?
where can i find the new fatebound ST build
checked wowhead and pins and cant seem to find it
or is the one on wowhead the one we're supposed to use but it doesnt have VV
Fatebound doesnt use vv
Because it doesnt get its mutilates buffed by 50% most of the time, like deathstalker does
fatebound uses vanish as a damage cd so it runs imp gar/ma
aight bet ty gamers
how big difference is it in st in %? like 1% difference or depends on sim
DS vs fatebound that is
Something like that
But like, fatebound gets worse the moment you add literally any other target, so its only really feasible on sprocket
Not "worse in comparison to deathstalker" either
Just worse
It does less damage
It’s so ass
and also if you low roll its also ass
-300k dps cause i never hit all fight
To stave away boredom
Actually though why did they decide to make fatebound the way it is
Who did this to me
i love fatebound it fulfills my class fantasy of being a diablo loot goblin
Like gameplay wise whatever we don’t have any gameplay anyway
But why does it get worse as you add targets
Reverse funnel op
Is house of cards better than signet for 12+ keys?
is there any benefit to the fact that Deathstalker's marks are not consumed while Darkest Night is active
long time ago, Whispyr said it was fine to still ambush in opener for this effect because you still get some of the benefits but don't quote me on it
Singular Focus comes to mind
like getting ruptures out with the CP after ambush on prio target maybe? idk
Singular focus and hunt them down
doe the bleed build like more haste then crit?
But like, the darkest night bug shouldve been fixed a long time ago, idk why its still a thing
Anyone using Junkmaestro’s mega magnet(on use damage proc from bubkjunker) for raiding? Picked up a mythic one and it seems good on raidbots. Also anyone use geargrinders spare keys(on use aoe proc from Vexie) for m+?
Damn, but use magnet during lingering darkness
Can anyone please elaborate to me what 'rupture sniping' means exactly?
Use rupture on an add
put rupture on mobs that will die soon to gain a bunch of energy
1 cp rupture enough?
true actually
shiv
ig but garrote refresh like 60 energy
i didnt think that far, guess i meant 2-4 cp enough
45
If i got ap that shiv hitting 8 things and critting all of them
The sniping scales with CPs used
So there’s some risk in overcapping energy if you’re not paying attention
Thanks
Look at your Venomous Wounds talent
Ye just wondered if there was a cp threshold where it was/wasn't worth
Well that’ll depend on how much energy you can regain without capping
So like many answers, “it depends” lol
Was more if it was like only worth doing on low cp or high cp, but I understand what you mean ^^ Thanks again
Plus if you’re talking keys then there’s sudden demise value too
Im dedicating my life to making biggest sudden demise hit
Screw playing optimally or for dmg, we doing biggest single hit
My biggest is 21m but I’ve seen bigger 😔
Hey 21m is WAY above average, I've heard people are satisfied with only 10m even
Should i be taking Ascendance/Writhing or 2x Elemental focus lens? (i assume i just sim, but im actually curious if there is a clear winner then why would people use either or?)
Thanks man ❤️ that means a lot
Embellishments are very small effect, not much difference. Pick based on content you do / what crafted items you have that you can craft them on
Ass generally takes Asc/writhing or 2x dawn/dusk rather than ele focus
alright ty! simming gives me asc/writh as my biggest gain but it wasnt by a whole lot so i was just curious.
ohhhh
all i do is keys really lol
Put it away mate
2 x dawnthread is worth thinking about then, but you’ll need 2 non-weapon/jewellery bits to craft on
thats fine cause im looking at crafting 2 items atm aswell.
ty for the help! ill add them to sims and see whats up
For me it usually ends up like…option 1 is 2% better in ST, option 2 is 10% better in dslice so on the balance of it you take option 2
But it very very much is a tiny minuscule optimisation that you literally cannot get wrong
Anyone know if there are any bugs in the Assa sim for ST?
Timed 10 drops 16 gilded I think
If I macro in Signet of the Priory to Deathmark, I do I need to reapply my bleeds? I feel like I remember some things snapshot and others don't
Ok. That's what I was leaning towards, but wanted to check lmao
should we be macro'n signet with deathmark?
ya
ok. for some reason i was thinking signet was 30sec faster on CD. thats a huge fumble on my end
You're thinking deck
another noob question. but is there a way in the macro to make it a 1 time press or will it always be a double tap to use deathmark/signet?
its only one press anyway
trinket is ogcd so its used at the same time as deathmark in the macro
What encounter was that on? Seems like it must be from a damage amp phase or something
I wonder if you could make a Sudden Demise Estimator WA just for funsies
I think it was on hobgoblins/chewie in brew

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.

-snipe ruptures on them for energy 
Which slot are you gonna catalyse
The helm has a socket so probably that one.
Plus I have 665 in all five tier slots so I could just not use a charge
myth track helm it is
Waiting for sim
I’ve been playing outlaw most of this season with a 658 MH because terrible drops
And I had THREE myth weapons finally turn up in vault today 😂
Hey sorry for ping but im desperate. @balmy condor I just destroyed a 15 rookery and got clowned on because of my trash ST damage (I'm playing bleed build). What are common mistakes you see people doing that fucks their ST dmg?
I can link a log if that helps
He’s gonna tell you that there’s nothing to be done because assass boss damage is trash in keys
Forgot to set the Myth pieces to max ilvl and include a converted piece in sim 
Gotta wait again
ST is ass
OOF
Get used to it
Im completely aware of sin's shit ST damage, im just under-perfoming compared to other sin rogues
Thats what I need to fix
you got trashed on by ANOTHER sin rogue?
I have to do more keys for Gilded crests, I'm tilted rn
Looking at other peoples gameplay and boss dmg, didnt have a sin in the key
how much were you doing
Im just bad
what ilvl are you?
Its bad, i see other people doing 1.4-1.5
667
Pretty good gear
this is my patchwerk st sim
w/ bleed build
aight and the log?
uploading rn
np
Does sound low tho, could be group comp/buff stuff. Cd timing. Did you have to do mechanics etc
At that key range you should be getting a second DM in execute range to help you out
I’d have thought
linked it in #1359715314790826154
how is that thread still alive
i must be doing something very wrong
that last use of DM was ass
yeah I mean that means you didn't have an execute dm
i know little but why you only have 55% uptime overall on garrote? isnt that a bit low?
also im not even sure how to throw a DM with bleed build, do i shiv > DM > shiv after 7sec?

he doesn't?
no, you did it right
Also, your sim isn’t really something to base off of here especially since you ran it with all buffs on

ok so current mistake list:
consume darkest night earlier to not send envenoms/finishers w/o deathstalker's mark
and keep in mind the deathmark usage during our exec window
darkest night is the highest priority always
and idk, have cooldowns on a burst spec
do you hold deathmark at all to make it land in execute window or just it's nice when it does
“It depends”
i also need to understand what the fuck is a dry shiv and why and when should i do it
dude im so lost
If you’re only gonna get two uses then yes, on pull and for execute
Don’t waste a use holding
Dry shiv is when the stars align to pump env damage so you shiv for further pumping
it's also just not relevant for a bleed build
i currently use shiv on AOE for insane bleed dmg pumping moments
Lingering darkness, darkest night, full amp poison stacks
thats correct afaik
aahhhhh gotcha
lingering darkness proc + shiv might be insane
But yes on bleed build env isn’t that big so don’t freak, save your shivs
For normal shiv usage rules
waiting
Hey all, just checking out assasination - guides suggest hybrid build is the way to go but lots of hype around the bleed build - any thoughts on which is stronger please
If you have to ask the answer is bleed
is it too bad i dont even get why its so bad?
so you fucked your first boss by using 1 set of 2mins in nearly 4 min
covered that
cool
the second boss, you didn't vanish for your deathmark dawg
am trying fatebound on a dummy/low difficulty sprocket to practice, is fateful ending supposed to be a buff on your guy or something else?
deathmark expired and you vanished after
what
i am not seeing it show up in my details at all (cold blood macrod to kingsbane, vanishing while cold blood is up)
can u just never get it if ur unlucky or something
and imp gar
deathmark duplicates bleeds
why would you not want to duplicate stronger bleeds
for fun?
VANISH WITH DM

just rng harder :)
you'll get it eventually
Hey everyone! ,Quick question: I’m just getting started with ASSA and I’m trying to figure out what the best talents for raiding are right now. I’ve seen people using a bunch of different setups, so I’m not sure which one is the most optimal. Would really appreciate any tips or a link to an up-to-date guide. thanks!
the buff is called lucky coin right
wowhead definitely doesn't suggest hybrid over bleed
