but we generally do 1 rogue for progs

fleet pagoda
#

yep only swap when it's most dire/at range. I was swapping a bunch because we had some unethical wizards and deaths and only had 19mil on barrels by envenoms kekw

#

triplel that on caustic for the few in range though

coral ibex
#

yea something out of my fucking asshole

prisma shadow
#

I never swapped to one it was fine

coral ibex
#

aka shit

prisma shadow
#

If its totally fucked yeah

coral ibex
#

another fight where i do nothing but hit the boss and pray ranged are awake

prisma shadow
#

Swap to save the pull

lethal arrow
#

if u envenom a non bled/nonmarked add

#

it legit does 4000 dmg

#

i swear

#

its not even worthi t

#

if u have a darkest night proc, sure send it

hexed root
coral ibex
#

yea

haughty flicker
#

i dont think we're ever killing stix

#

i think i'll die before this boss dies

lethal arrow
#

get the scoreboard WA

#

and shame anyone who hits a crab

coral ibex
#

just pray nobody else finds a way to wipe you

lethal arrow
#

so they can full dps the rest of the fight

#

or if someone is really good at balls

#

have them taunt before each set (this will fucking obliterate their dps)

#

what was the wa to auto tricks tanks

balmy condor

Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

#

do we always play bleed spec or do we play hybrid in some dungeons? is there a list somewhere if so

hexed root
#

what bleed spec is the fomo currently? been hearing some randomly

coral ibex
#

the bleed spec that has existed since 2023 and got buffed recently is linked on wowhead

balmy condor
#

But bleed works fine every key

viral apex
#

yo for bleed spec, Do i go under 50% energy during ST?

fleet pagoda
#

optimal to stay above 50%, not the end of the world if you go under

viral apex
#

I see thanks

#

So don't spam envenoms

#

gotcha

fleet pagoda
#

yeah, unless your bleeds are running out or if you have DN active you can pull up the second monitor

gray sleet
#

my kingsbane is at the left and right side is a 10 ilvl lower kb he did not so much, but more damage than me, why?

coral ibex
#

better to link the log

balmy condor
#

I’m gonna guess not pressing shiv

gray sleet
#

I am

gloomy heart
#

i got pacemaker first try

#

LOL

frank trench
#

Woooooah wait a second

#

I been taking every down to like zero spamming ever ima with bleed

#

lol I’m an idiot

#

I’m losing the energy burn talent the

#

hmm interesting

#

like 95% of logs are still vv this week

coral ibex
#

its a sim urself angle

#

for VV vs MA

waxen oyster
#

yeah ik

coral ibex
waxen oyster
#

just was more surprised it was that high

#

vv is 17k lower so slightly curious what puts it ahead for other people

snow hamlet
#

Cuz VV is better than MA in M6 7 8

balmy condor
snow hamlet
#

You always need super execute

waxen oyster
#

what is m678

snow hamlet
#

Bandit Mugzee gallywix

waxen oyster
#

i mean i suspected vv might be better for spatter

#

just due to what it buffs

scenic kraken
#

During big aoe after you bleed everything do you spam fon/ct or do you funnel envenom into splatter? Also do I need to re apply my bleeds in the execute window or will it automatically tick higher once they hit? I feel like I’m only doing 4-5m even in pretty big pulls. I hit 13m once but I have no idea what I did different

snow hamlet
#

Better for execute

worldly dock
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
snow hamlet
#

If you compare VV and MA in execute patchwerk sim you can know why

#

For me it’s 2% gap

waxen oyster
#

How do you even sim execute.

#

I was more curious what's causing vv to outsim for people in a generic patchwerk sim.

haughty flicker
charred obsidian
snow hamlet
fallow canopy
#

VV is less neurons also and in hard fights I can't spare those

waxen oyster
#

lmao true

snow hamlet
#

This is a execute sim

gray sleet
#

What's VV

#

!vv

#

And what's MA

fallow canopy
#

Vicious venoms

fallow canopy
waxen oyster
#

makes your ambush/mut do more damage as nature

gray sleet
#

So VV is better

waxen oyster
#

also removes the need to use ctw procs on st

fallow canopy
waxen oyster
#

and removes vanish as a dps cd

#

Well, I guess if you want to nitpick you probably could vanish ambush to apply dsm while you have a DN proc

#

Not sure how much a gain this even would be

#

if at all

#

@balmy condor ?

balmy condor
#

Not really worth anything cause of the stack thing

waxen oyster
#

it doesnt even give you 1-2 more hunt them down hits from the autos?

waxen oyster
#

While you're building to spend an env

#

likely nothing in reality

#

or almost nothing

balmy condor
#

Sims can’t tell

#

But sure yeah whatever

waxen oyster
# snow hamlet

Does execute patchwerk just mean the boss has an execute phase btw.

#

i.e the reg patchwerk setting means boss never has

gray sleet
#

All bosses have execute phase on sims

#

that just means that the sim will considerate that's on exe range

snow hamlet
#

No, it means the execution phase of the sim, and the general patchwerk still includes some execution phase

gray sleet
#

for the hwole duration of the sim

waxen oyster
#

oh so a 5min execute patchwerk would just mean the boss is in range

#

for the entire 5mins

haughty flicker
#

the dream

waxen oyster
#

I mean on prog you will likely have a longer execute

#

since dead mfs

snow hamlet
#

VV has significantly stronger execute capabilities, which is quite suitable for the bandit/mugzee combat model, because you will use bl in the execution phase.

haughty flicker
#

give us a fight like sylvanas or iridikron where they never go into execute

#

and reverse it

#

boss never leaves execute

#

it has 1 hp and you're just hitting a shield the whole time

balmy condor
haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

Cause like why bother with zold

snow hamlet
waxen oyster
#

was always funny considering

#

eon gave us an pseudo execute

#

unless you bug abused kyrian druid for instant 4 stack on pull

#

Honestly when ma vs vv became a sim yourself thing i did not expect an over 95% vv pickrate

#

for easy bosses, thats really where the surprise was

snow hamlet
waxen oyster
#

It is but wow players sweat over minor gains

#

i mean hell maghar is only a 10k gain on sims for me

#

yet i look at people swapping to it

snow hamlet
#

But there may not actually be any gains, at least for the myth bandit/mugzee

solar wyvern
#

Every single sub 1% pull i was chosen for ice spears

#

I hate this boss i hate this boss

haughty flicker
#

start making lowest dps stand in front of any spears targetted for you

solar wyvern
#

Xd

#

Imagine losing out on 6 seconds of lingering darkness execute envenoms because you get rng chose

#

Couldn't be me

snow hamlet
gloomy heart
#

with this new bleed build should my caustic not be my #1? or am i terrible

#

please tell me i am terrible

haughty flicker
#

ct will normally be your highest damage

#

in bleed build

snow hamlet
haughty flicker
#

caustic can still be pretty high depending on dungeon and pulls though

snow hamlet
gloomy heart
#

caustic was like my 5th LOL

#

i just came back to pve tho

#

so

#

idk wtf i am even doing

solar wyvern
#

Mugzee has made me absolutely loathe the tea at 30 energy change

#

Im holding stacks since we slow dps anyway

#

And I'm just here pooling to 150 energy

#

Because i don't want to accidentally proc a tea charge before intermission

coral oracle
#

is deathstalker best rn for raid st bosses?

#

ive been trying it out and trying to follow the rotation but im struggling to get clsoe to my outlaw dmg

wanton tangle
#

playing bleed build in M+, is our single target damage kinda poop? i seem to sturggle with bosses even when i have constant uptime on bleeds

blazing pumice
#

yes

fresh kelp
blazing pumice
#

it is even more poop with the hybrid build

signal crane
#

With everyone talking about this bleed build in m+ is it really the way to go now…I jut started sin and got used to hybrid 🤦🏼‍♂️should I be playing bleed now? I just looked at top logs few days ago and was like 70% hybrid 30% bleed but I’m guessing only because bleed is newly good?

blazing pumice
#

yes

signal crane
scarlet spade
#

Is there a point where we will finally replace the ring from siren isles

runic hinge
#

maybe

hidden bay
scarlet spade
#

Right on I had I had just noticed recently on raiderio I have seen some people not running but the vast majority do still run it was just curious if there was some kinda break point in Sims where you can replace this thing

hidden bay
#

Prolly if secondary stats do not give you more gain than agility

#

But then again, depending on the rest of your gear

mystic osprey
#

anyone know how I can get lightweight shiv here?

blazing pumice
#

drop iron wire

mystic osprey
#

i need iron wire

#

surely theres another way

blazing pumice
#

press kick

#

and drop iron wire

mystic osprey
blazing pumice
#

drop ma

#

or preferably iron wire

mystic osprey
#

yeah nah im dropping iron wire

#

thats sad

#

i love iron wire

cerulean nest
#

so whats the void elf tech on mugzee

#

just throw out your port before jails, then port after the soak?

runic hinge
#

Yes

blazing pumice
drifting cloud
cerulean nest
#

ah nice

#

did you guys have most people swap to that?

#

seeming like sort of a necessity

snow hamlet
#

Not necessary, but if possible, it will be very helpful for the last 4 jails in p3, you can help share the damage and then teleport out to soak immunity

any recommended builds for workshop +12 and above? Been using this idk if there's a better option:

yes, bleed build

#

see pin

Harder to start a pull, but it's really not that bad

clearly he just wants that bleed up for dm

pastel cradle
blazing pumice
#

cs is the same

#

you want it up regardless

brisk forge
#

Yeah one of the main thing in aoe

blazing pumice
#

ct just does more of your damage and you keep it up st

pastel cradle
#

bet thanks. will try it out

lime flame
#

is there any WA that take count of how many target has garrote? on my WA it's shows the rapture count but not garrote

blazing pumice
#

garrotte count doesn't matter

lime flame
#

mh

#

well

buoyant herald
#

if you really really wanted it

#

just copy it and change the trigger

#

to garotte

grim jay
#

its quite literally just a waste of your pc's resources

lime flame
#

i thought was important to know

#

ty

blazing pumice
#

you only want to know rupture because of scent of blood

#

outside of IC windows, you don't garrote in aoe

lime flame
#

okok amazing

chilly sluice
#

morning guys, quick one, should i be using HoC on cd or just lining it up with my deathmark?

normal mist
#

99% sure you line it with deathmark

#

CD stacking is better than just sending it randomly with nothing

chilly sluice
#

that's what i assumed but then HoC sits off cd for 1min after the second use

lusty kraken
#

just macro it with deathmark

buoyant herald
#

pretend its a 2min cd

#

and carry on

chilly sluice
#

crazy it's better than even priory with the cd waste

balmy condor
#

its equal to priory

normal mist
#

Yo whispyr, got my curve yesterday! 1 week gaming goes hard

balmy condor
#

gamer

normal mist
#

2 pulls on gally

#

2nd on dps

#

20 ilvl below everyone else

#

The only thing that makes me happy is the ilevel parses from yesterday honestly

#

This way i can feel good

#

(yes i didnt know sprocket had a knockback)

buoyant herald
#

pretty nice reading for a first time through

normal mist
#

Perks of never playing with DBM is that i actually memorize the fights

#

so i only need 1 lockout, maybe 2 to get everything in my head

buoyant herald
#

now you can spend the next 2 months frustratedly trying to fix sprocket and mugzee as something keeps ruining it for you

normal mist
#

nah, im not a parsing chaser anymore

#

im going even more casual

buoyant herald
#

neither am i usually but when just one sticks out my ocd makes me want all the colours the same lol

normal mist
#

sprocket is easy to get a good parse, i just need to NOT get blown out of the platform and shadowstep doesnt go out in time

#

mugzee i honestly dont know what i did "wrong"

#

since i was 2nd on dps

buoyant herald
#

assass can cleave the two mobs in the cages with caustic spatter

normal mist
#

my actual parses (not ilvl)

buoyant herald
#

so you need to be doing that

normal mist
#

but lets keep in mind, i was 647

buoyant herald
#

mugzee is my nemesis, every week some fresh hell gets me

normal mist
buoyant herald
#

is ok, keeps me coming back for heroic skip so guild probably appreciates it 😂

isnt that every boss as rogue tho

we are just a lil melee dps

sour elm
#

Anyone up to helping me analyze my kill log of sprocket last night?

sour elm
#

Probs best to ignore the last 30 seconds; only got to the last part a couple times and had some panics

#

but need to figure out what is wrong with my overall rotation

golden loom
#

okay one big issue I see right away

sour elm
#

hit me

golden loom
#

holy fuck you feint a lot

sour elm
#

lmaoo

#

I think its a habit I am carrying over from outlaw

#

its just up all the time so I press it a lot

golden loom
#

like bro, you feinted 10x more times in 1 kill than I did over 13 wipes

sour elm
#

no AOE is gonna scare me haha

golden loom
#

defensive use is good but thats just eating energy

sour elm
#

ok less feint ezpz

coral ibex
#

you dont need to feint damage that isn't threatening

golden loom
#

Especially during sprocket, the damage is so predictable that your healers are gonna be sending it anyways

red schooner
#

Yeah, your healers might get bored, so, think of the healers

#

Give them something to do.

sour elm
#

I am actively sabotaging healing parses

red schooner
#

That's what they're there for its fine probs

coral ibex
#

i dont think i feint at all except in intermission when im eating the aoe to get uptime

red schooner
sour elm
#

less feint ezpz, any other big issues?

red schooner
#

Rotation looks solid from the brief look I gave it

golden loom
red schooner
#

Not got to sprocket yet so I don't really know the fight on mythic so can't really comment on fight specifics but yeah, base rotation looks alright

sour elm
#

its pretty much 100% uptime single target

coral ibex
#

actually you should probably feint the bombs just in case

golden loom
#

This is the knock right? Would probably be best to refresh bleeds/get envenom before cds

sour elm
#

less feint will help me there for sure; I am always energy starved before the knock

#

so it was having trouble refreshing

red schooner
#

Is shadowstepping the knockback alright in mythic or does that just run the risk of sending someone else flying into the abyss?

coral ibex
#

no

#

absolutely do not shadowstep in mythic

#

it is banned

red schooner
#

fuck

golden loom
#

I think u can step if u are the side not taking gate but I havent dared to try it

sour elm
#

yea very banned

red schooner
#

We're getting to it on Monday probably so I still need to do more research on the fight

golden loom
#

cause Sprocket is facing the other side anyways so u should end up in the correct spot

#

and gate people arent even there yet

coral ibex
#

the only melee mech to worry about is the knockback

sour elm
coral ibex
#

you will kill the boss as soon as you live thru 2nd knockback with 20 people

red schooner
#

Bench for stix prog, melee on sprocket prog

#

I'm eating good this season

sour elm
#

aight cool thanks boyos; if yall thin kof anything else drop me a ping. Ill unbind feint PES_LMAO

golden loom
coral ibex
#

yea boss is free as soon as the ranged wake up

red schooner
#

thankfully most of our maniacs are melee players

#

so

golden loom
coral ibex
#

if every ranged player simply stops hitting the boss to do their ranged mechs every time

red schooner
#

free boss?

coral ibex
#

the boss will still die before ball phase

#

but people will greed casts for no reason

golden loom
#

the small area voidbeams + magnets is like the only thing that should be hard

#

but idk

#

stuff just blows up

coral ibex
#

pre-strafe and save all ur defensives for that

#

amz, barrier, priest circle thing

golden loom
#

wanna know where my cloak was

coral ibex
#

intermission

#

for uptime

golden loom
#

used to do 10k more dps kekdog

coral ibex
#

im doing that next week for sure

golden loom
#

im so jealous of our dk

#

he is on giga afk mode

#

just presses deaths advance and shit to make the fight even more braindead

coral ibex
#

i still can't believe how forgiving the lock port timing is

vapid sierra
#

how come my sim wants no cyrcet

golden loom
red schooner
golden loom
#

the item just bugs perma or something

coral ibex
#

never had that

golden loom
#

like I've had it not work 4 times

vapid sierra
golden loom
#

and I swear its not me being bad, cause I ran back to the gate spamming the item and it still didnt work

#

so I had to manually click

red schooner
golden loom
#

scam game

coral ibex
#

nah i've literally taken the port halfway across the map

#

its so forgiving

golden loom
#

yeah same

#

but then sometimes

#

the item doesnt go off?

#

like does it register as me taking it -> but getting knocked afterwards -> puts item on CD but not gate cause I can still click it? idk

#

makes no sense

coral ibex
#

yea thats strange

#

dont think we had anyone with that issue

golden loom
#

I would think im crazy but thankfully our ret has had the same issue

real pike
#

our RL made a graph of it cause we had some fuckery

#

For the picture the values are in ms. Green means survived the knock. Yellow means death but inconclusive because collisions happened. Red means blown off platform

#

one instance of gating after the knock and still flying off

red schooner
#

Looking forward to sprocket prog at least, I do better at dance style bosses, I don't adapt on the fly to things that well.

#

Gonna be a good time.

coral ibex
#

the only fun part of raiding rogue on classic is making raid leads mad that you didn't roll warrior

#

"bro can you just reroll man pls" whispers mid raid

#

better than a 99

golden loom
#

in HC tho raiding as rogue means u wont die as often as warrior

#

like I only died due to a crazy dumb keybind but otherwise we had like no rogues die and weekly warrior deaths kekdog

#

What spec is the best for Mythic Bandit progress?

coral ibex
#

probably sin

#

maybe sub if you really need add damage

muted nebula
#

guys question !

"Enable Action Targeting Mode" is it suggested with assassination rogue ?

because sometimes it changes my target randomly in AOE so the target that i applied "Garrote" and "Rupture" on will be changed will that still active "Vemenous Wounds" or changes target will lead to dps drops and stamina loss ?

coral ibex
#

its pretty late in the tier to be short on cleave tho

#

we have so much ilvl

#

wtf is action targeting mode

#

i wouldn't use anything that would randomly change my target

#

ever

#

for any reason

muted nebula
#

its the option that

#

automatcily press on mobs

#

instead of pressing on everymob by mouse

golden loom
#

sounds very bad

coral ibex
#

yea no idea what that is but i would not use it if it changes your target selection

scenic kraken
#

Could anyone give me tldr on the bleed build? i feel like im hitting a wall around 3-5m dps. it feel like im just missing something. i did watch the video i just dont think i understand the rotation of it

#

apply mark > ruptures for scent stacks > CT > continue spreading bleeds to all targets

#

keep uptime on bleeds

#

keep up caustic

little tulip
#

shiv?

#

not standing close enough to mobs for caustic to hit

coral ibex
#

yea you shiv as normal

#

what

#

why not

#

oh

#

you are not him

little tulip
coral ibex
#

probably easier to just send a log

scenic kraken
#

i do that and shiv as well i just am confused because its like. 3-5 mil then i had a pull where i spiked to 13 mil and i have no idea what i did different

little tulip
#

i did notice applying extra bleeds helped overall in a pack

coral ibex
#

its a bleed build you want every target to have a rupture and CT on it

#

you aren't spamming envenoms into a caustic target like hybrid

little tulip
#

yeah i haven't been great to sanguine blades this week

muted nebula
#

is rupture aoe ?

coral ibex
#

it is for 12 seconds in the m+ build

#

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

scenic kraken
#

do you have to reapply bleeds in the execute window or does it auto ramp? also so with the bleed then u should spam FON and CT if everythings bled or do you caustic there?

coral ibex
#

don't spam CT

#

it doesn't do much alpha damage, the damage is in the ticks and snapshotting target #

humble verge
#

you only reapply CT when its about to run out

muted nebula
#

ct ?

#

casutic ?

humble verge
#

crimson tempest

muted nebula
#

ah

little tulip
#

idk also using deathmark off cooldown as you do

scenic kraken
#

okay so once bleeds are up ill spam caustic. what about the bleeds once they are in execute range do i need to reapply them? or does it just ramp up because they drop to that point

little tulip
#

getting it twice in a fight versus once during a vulnerability phase idk

tender cedar
#

Vanish and reapply garrote ruptures refresh ct press shiv and sudden demise executes

#

Especially with deathmark but can do anyway in between deathmarks for best SD value towards the end of big packs

coral ibex
#

for sanguine

#

you dont spam envenoms into caustic as bleed

#

you want to be proccing sanguine on everything every tick

scenic kraken
#

oooooh maybe thats what im doing wrong then

#

im sending er a little too hard eh

coral ibex
#

obviously keep caustic up

#

but most of your damage is not caustic/envenom

#

tbh

tender cedar
coral ibex
#

this is a breakdown from a 12 workshop for me on bleed build

little tulip
#

if the other dps are kinda mid it's easy to start overdoing it

#

you can make up for that with rupture snipes

#

and stuff but yeah

scenic kraken
coral ibex
#

what

spice spire
#

Where Denise madgeClap

little tulip
spice spire
#

Demise even

coral ibex
#

idk man i think i dont refresh enough

#

skill issue

spice spire
#

I got 200m while whispyr had 690m in a dungeon insanecat

little tulip
#

yeah i have same issue on like cinderbrew do you rupture droplets or waste a mid envenom on them for dn proc

spice spire
#

Big demise is appalled here

coral ibex
#

its bleed build rupture everything

little tulip
#

play outlaw kermit_pepe

tender cedar
#

Yea my demise damage in a good run of a +12 is around 500-600m dmg depending on dungeon ofc

spice spire
#

So like

#

It’ll always be lower in a workshop

coral ibex
#

this was also a slow as fuck run

#

i dont think we even timed it

spice spire
#

Because your pulls aren’t that large outside of first

little tulip
#

even on i'pa for example you should rupture a droplet or two

spice spire
#

But that’s a glacial we pulled one-two groups at a time

tender cedar
#

Those pulls after first boss go nuclear for assa tho

little tulip
#

don't grief vanish and hold it for mass bleeds etc

tender cedar
#

I find I do a lot of Demise damage from those packs alone

little tulip
#

here's from an 11 cinder the other week, definitely misplayed areas but still did okay

Hi guys, for a newbie assassination rogue player. What is the best build for m+? Hybrid or bleed?

fossil falcon
#

For experienced is hybrid better?

golden loom
#

no

#

bleed is better, and its easier

#

so good build 👍

fossil falcon
#

Nice, thx ❤️

nova aspen
#

hybrid takes the lead on low target cleave i believe

#

like 2-3

#

bleed wins everywhere else

golden loom
#

I mean yeah I guess but its better at that one lil niche

little tulip
#

just run bleed

#

make sure you take iron wire over lightweight shiv though

nova aspen
#

ironwire

little tulip
#

ask your boomkin if iron wire is good for u

nova aspen
#

i don't have a boomkin

#

I’m sure it’s been said before on Rik, but do we basically have no choice but stay on Rik and pray tanks bring boss close enough for spatter? Guild asking me to go to a more aoe build and I’m like this is my aoe build bro just gotta move boss more

little tulip
#

warlock, mage, and shadow priest are too hard to balance for current meta

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.

plain wind
#

Haha yes thank you

#

I had only seen the Simpson one before this helps

scarlet orbit
#

Add dmg shouldt be a big problem with the current gear if it is really bad problem for your group maybe the last tip is available for you but no we dont do shit to barrels if they dont spawn perfekt and if they do they are no problem in the first place

plain wind
#

This is also true. Our group obliterates the barrels close to boss as is… like me stepping to a far one and getting bleeds/envenoms feels dumb

#

Should just be a ranged problem

#

Ok thanks homies

little tulip
#

the raid is very pug friendly this season for sure

fallow canopy
#

I mean if 3 spawn close and 1 far and the 1 far doesn't die it just means ranged don't have their monitors turned on

but for amirdrassil das a wipe

Guys does vicious venoms spatter? it's nature so i assume so but not sure

for other hero talent

You either vanish for edge case or standard vanish for imo garrote iirc

dawn seal
#

there was a special rule for fatebound

#

where u do somethin after 1st envenom or somefin

spice spire
#

It’s still relatively the same timings as deathstalker

runic hinge
#

during cold blood

dawn seal
runic hinge
#

which you have macro to kb

haughty flicker
#

kb+cb>envenom>vanish>envenom

dawn seal
#

so I kb then vanish

#

oh

#

do I do it after 1st

spice spire
#

Almost positive it’s in the guide

haughty flicker
#

remember cb works on 2 envenoms for fatebound

#

and yes its in the wowhead guide

dawn seal
#

checkin

golden loom
#

you kinda wanna get as much good MA duration as possible while also vanishing for edge case

#

so u have it macrod to KB

#

and then u can vanish before casting the 2nd cold blooded envenom

#

so dm -> shiv -> kb (CB procs) -> build and cast 1st envenom -> build to 2nd envenom -> vanish envenom + improved garrote -> 2nd shiv smthin smthin boom bam

violet jackal
#

Should be energy saturated regardless of your haste

frank trench
#

I have a weakaura

coral ibex
#

scent stacks

#

if you have 20 scent stacks then 5+ targets are bleeding

frank trench
#

That tells me how many mobs have CT and how many mobs Al have ruptured

violet jackal
#

Not a actually notice they are bleeding I mean your energy

#

Better wording what are you experiencing to believe your haste is too low

cerulean nest
#

any mugzee tips in terms of caustic spatter and jails?

marble hemlock
#

hope people position them properly, theres nothing you can do as a player to help with it

#

if the indication circle around them touches the boss hitbox, youll get spatter on the adds. if it doesnt, itll be too far away. thats pmuch it.

cerulean nest
#

gotcha

marble hemlock
#

basically, as long as red circle under boss and circle from mechanic touch, you get spatter

i am using this and thistle tea still gets to 0

#

I did dungeon slice though and dungeon slice probably a bad metric maybe

#

I’m just trying to min max and not sure if I should put forth effort to recraft if the sims aren’t showing it or if I shouldn’t be using dslice

#

I did realize I was under 50% energy too much 😦

#

That’s bad

paper tapir
frank trench
#

Hrrm I need to test that my single target in raid has beeeeeeen awful

#

Which dslice wouldn’t cover

strange sleet
#

if you wanna have a better idea of what's going on just sim dungeon slice, 1 target 5 min, 5 target 5 min, 10 atrget 5 min. ADn then the same for different timers

frank trench
#

But on like vexie I’m pulling 90+

strange sleet
#

like 1:30 etc

frank trench
#

Ok! Can do that

strange sleet
#

In my case at this point the sim is asking for mastery/versa

#

for the bleed build

frank trench
#

Soooo wysoko how do you like decide what todo

Like look at All 5 sims and find a middle ground?

strange sleet
#

depends on what you are facing more often

#

This is the most min max sweaty 🥵 have ever tried to be

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

#

so
what does one do in M+ if deprived of stealth opportunities and vanish is on CD? it's not a common occurence, but it happens sometimes
do you just Garrote/Rupture a single target and hope the pack dies before you run out of energy? do you manually Rupture several targets?

#

I figure you'd probably want to Rupture 5 targets anyways for Scent, but it'll take like 12 seconds of setup before you actually start doing damage, so I'm not sure it's actually good

runic hinge
hearty seal
#

since you'll be FoKing enough for all your targets to have Deadly Poison on them anyways

runic hinge
#

Yeah. But why not go for scent stacks

#

If the mobs are dying so fast 12 seconds is too long for you to setup then the packs don’t really matter anyways

Does anyone know how to make it work for rogue, except, it would try to use meld first, but if meld's on cooldown, it uses vanish?

# runic hinge Yeah. But why not go for scent stacks
