Fok Conditions Post-Buff
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
it's like they heard feedback on fated seasons and said what if we just do that in the middle of a season

Atleast crest cap is gone also
I'm gonna be real with you
got like 1000 carved and 500 runed that are gonna be immediately slammed into gilded
crest cap would've been gone by may 14th to begin with
though this now means i can't just do my 8 m+ a week and then chill
Yeah
gotta get the gilded
But the combo is nice atleast
ngl a little bit disappointed that you have to kill the boss to buy the item with a dinar
was hoping it would be like before
Ya and you apparently get 1 dinar a week, but each item costs 3 dinars, so even if the feature releases May 13th you wouldn't realistically get an item until May 27th
i dont care tbh,just fix it,i wanna gear up my ponytails
thats some heavy gating
Players can purchase Mythic and Heroic gear but will require the associated boss to have been defeated at least once in any difficulty to purchase Hero track gear and at least once in Mythic difficulty to purchase Myth track gear.
Also this
Is there a dinar catchup or do we have to do this every week per char
I wonder how it'll work with alts and the boss kill requirements
just do it again i guess
Shit
so in order to get the actual mythic track on house of cards i need to have killed the boss that drops it
aight?
seems that way ye
on mythic diffculty
thats what i understand from the wording, yes
thats some wild sht
yep

would have thought it would be like s4, one item, upgradable until max with that extra big path
nope,just blizzard things
just pug mythic gally
Just kill boss
Like I'm RFWL here if we CE at all its last week of the season 
tbh i'm fine with the mythic requirement. Kind of tired of Blizz just handing out gear like crazy
its about as hard as stix
So true

we are talking about dinars yo,who cares
Boosters rn salivating
There are like in month anyway
silly company doesnt understand how vendors work
i'll trade you pictures of raccoons for a oab kill thanks
imagine waiting all this time to gold cap ur bank

difference is i put in 0 effort to do so
i just do my normal weekly clear
and i get paid to do it
true,it took me several months to achieve and endless farm
peak lazy money making
ok ive lost
I just do world quests for money life is chill 

didnt your raidteam disband?
stealthi method arc?
no

what? colour disbanded?
Chances I get either Eye or Jastor before then?
idk man,im just sad i have to raid,ill do the stupid raid once on normal and never step on it again
- Dinar system May 13th
- have to wait two weeks to use them

VS warbound btw
bruh people genuinely are upset you need to kill a mythic boss to get its mythic loot?
Gives you a month to raid all you need
are they fucked in the head
I am a Story Mode Preservation Evoker, why can't I get Myth track Jastor?
ofc they are
!up
like, i personaly think thats reasonable
the Bullshit part is the time
3 weeks for 1 item for something that comes that late is just insanity
why is haste consistently simming higher for me than other stats?
get gated noobs
if it existed with the patch launch allready? yeha sure, 3 weeks is OK then

is haste much more important now?
you have low haste i gues
i have 10.4k
isnt haste like the worst stat
!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
assa has no bad stats
i love misinformation
haste has never been bad
only bad stat is when your dagger is a int dagger and not a agi dagger 
I have 9 chances (I think) to get either Eye or Jastor.
4 from kills (I already killed him this week)
5 from Vault
because that thing has a gorillion haste
play DnD
why use eye
idk man we boost mythic this only means sales gonna be big
everyone will want their first kill
more gametime!!!
i thouught you stopped playing
stop lying bozo
blizzdong balance
varas is never leaving us
it indeed did
was there a specific reason, or is it a "dont want/should not talk about it" thing
no way
gm/rl quit raiding, nobody wanted to pick up the mantle from him
yeha ok, so a kinda normal thing tbh
at what rank you endup this season
you suck
you ❤️
was waiting to that return
ngl
i looked at my gear yesterday
none of it i got in raid
really makes you think
so many people asked me there was any drama or smthing but it was literally just a "hey guys im gonna call it quits" he asked the people he thought could be potential GM's but they all turned it down
so colour no raiding no more
5 pieces not bad 
Yeah, maybe you should raid.
the amount of time you need to spend outside of the game
for the guild
is rediculously high
if you wanna be in a decent wr
i mean yeha, cus sadly its often some form of guild drama
i was in legit 1 guild that had a friendly disband where it was just "yeha we killed Sylvanas and got CE, but i wont do the RL anymore in 2 months and nobody wants to step up, so we disband"
everything else was either me leaving cus people where SPECIAL, or a disband cus of drama
we are like wr 600-700, and our RL is doing WoW stuff 24/7
90% of them are mythic plus enjoyers i bet
because u want loot and gold from boosts its a literal job whihc u arent paid enough
like, if you want to be halfway competitive, its a nonstop job to be a RL
ive got mad respect for Nox our gm/rl
it has been a blast raiding there, sad its gone but now we move on to find somewhere else to play
most hobbies where you can end up competing in a serious way require exponentially more time investment to maintain competitiveness
GM/RL is pretty unique tho
most other team based hobbies the responsibilities are shared pretty evenly
tried being an officer once
not happening again
unless i can get away with only handling raid prep
you don't willingly become guild officer. it gets thrust upon you against your will
guild management is some soul sucking stuff at times
goes 10x if there is any drama too
to create issues on a team...
you do your best for prog, constantly preparing stuff for your raidteam
and then the 1 monk that ALWAYS complains about loot drops that one
like, i could not be a RL cus i would kick people 24/7 lol
i couldn't be RL because I'm shit at conflict, I just wanna turn up to raid and vibe man
put some music on
stab boss
chill
the best kind of raider
Raid leading is exhausting
the ppl we love to raid with
the exception to the rule
99.9% are sht at the game and toxic
reason i dont care to raid
ain't that the truth
Same

Everyone should try leading a pug raid sometime just to see the incredible whispers you get imo
i mean if i want drama i'd just go back to work on an evening and deal with the office politics and all that nonsense.
this is my free time let me vibe man
working from home 4 days per week, got the office politics on wow while working 
dont join a raidteam that is pushing world ranks, and it immediatly gets better lol
like, the endless chase to go higher is what makes people go dumb
i'm rfwl guild any boss we kill is a fucking blessing and we have no expectations
life is okay
only downside is prog never ends sometimes
straight from trying to kill queen into undermine
but muh internet number
how else will i derive a sense of self worth
my self worth comes from #1146207476983812117
huh?
i mean the only reason i hate rfwl is the fact
average rl at that rank is
insanely clueless
and tells you to do shit jobs
if you get a half decent raid leader toxicity is never a thing
i just want to be at whatever guild rank is needed to not start extending on boss fucking 5
the mid ranks with people that want to go higher are absolute hell
like, 80% are just there and use it as a jumping board for higher ranks
yeah idk extending just kills my motivation
and you feel it
to play
"hey what if all raid days were prog misery instead of one day for reclear"
i’d rather be on farm for 4 months
who wants this
we extend this week 
than extend 1
my wife divorced me because i didn't get a myth track dagger before we extended
whats wrong with farm
just be the best player and the guild so the gm becomes your best friend
based, would do the same
fucking loser

Idk i just hate extending
i dont want to play the game when its 3-4 weeks of waiting for someone else to know what colors are
i love extending cus its when we do prog
but thats probs cus we play 2 days a week, so its kinda needed for a clear
best part of prog.not having to deal with reclear
i benched myself on ansurek prog bc we had been extending for weeks and weeks and half the time we were wiping during LUST on PULL
every raid day just misery
genuine question
leme gues
the priests
just the countless wipes and frustration and rage and all
how are you getting deep on sprocket
i dont remember, i didn't want to remember
i just could not handle
thats the mechanic
wiping in lust on pull
and then the fucking warriors go ERM I NEED 90 SECONDS FOR MY CDS
like
the boss does nothing, so u just wipe
nothing is more tilting
not gonna lie my brain short circuits every once in a while as far as that's concerned
its not hard
but i'm also redacted so
reclear sucks cause you know youre wiping to something youve killed before and youre just wasting time
and i wont get loot
i never do...

Is that much better knowing you’re spending 3 hours
just kill the boss man
ive watched whispyr torturing himself in progress
im gonna be honest there
i was repeating "blue left red right blue left red right blue left red right" on every pull to myself

Honestly tho, I had such a good time on our first night of bandit prog, was just smiling for 3 hours
i mean its always
goofy dumbass boss
very hard mech
i have a good guild and we actually learn
and people come prepares
and know the fight
gigantic colored words
Yeah i mean those guilds usually
and text to speech
crazy i know
telling you what to do
dont extend for months
i think frankly if you take forever on farm
your guild is just
bad
and got lucky one attempt
on who got stuff

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.
Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.
also dratnos is thr worst person at explaining shit
ever
this mf yaps 99% useless crap
hello, this is dratnos, and this is this week in mythic plus
i tried watching one of his guides once
we killed it on pull 19 of this night, but on pull 17 I fucked up the polarity for the first time of entire prog, when doing the 2nd knock I forgor which color I was 
dozed off 3x in 5 minutes
dont shit talk my king

ur just a tiktok brain that cant focus on my goat
i cant do left and right without making an L with my left hand irl so thank god for WA
hes the kind of guy who you ask to make the meeting
because its 1hr of company time
for 10 minutes of content
I just do right red
@coral ibex whoops!!!!!!!
do you guys sit on the boss or switch targets on one armed bandit in mythic?
rupture snipe at 5-7 or at any?
usually I refresh pandemic rupture on boss -> get bonespike combo points and send that on add
so basically any
ye
i just send whatever amount will result in it still being active when the mob dies
another thing that feels good is after you proc DN to just fok for clear the witness and then send whatever u get on add
Guys, I don't really understand the current Deathmark > Shiv > Kingsbane window.
I've read that I have to Shiv in the last 8 seconds of the Kingsbane window. How does it work?
there's not really anything to understand
you just press shiv with 8s left on kingsbane

shiv increases kingsbane damage, the end of kingsbane is the most important part
so you want to increase the damage of the end of kingsbane
Thank you Nooj. I wanted to understand the process.
do we still play double vanish subterfuge with the bleed build?
Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:
- For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
- Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
- Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
- Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
- Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
- You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
push your RL to making sims mandatory for getting loot
lol
what?
that's how it works in normal world
we did that once and never after
loot goes such as it doesnt get wasted
by going on a character and then that character gets benched
what was your WR this tier varas
20
sheeesh
going off sim value kind of goofy
do you guys hard swap to adds on bandit myth ?
rogue sims piss low
no
mhmhm
any1 got a video guide they would recommend to learn the class
how tf does this candle not get melted im actually so frustrated with this boss. healer chadded out and we still won but god damn
Hey guys not rogue specific but is there a buff you can activate this season for the raid similar to the one last season in nerubar palace?
Did you cloak? Because that removes the thing that melts but not the animation for it
Yeah it’s done via rep in the raid
nah it wasn't even my circle it was mage
oh i should check logs, maybe mage did somethin that works like cloak
I think any immunity that removes the effect still leaves the circle around you but it doesn't clear the statue
yeah im goin to the logs hopefully that's it
I remember I cloaked it once and no one's circle melted a candle in that round
Hey guys 🙂
Bleed build still op?

Ok, is it a permanent buff or do you have to choose how much to use weekly?
Perm
Oh nice
Ty guys
This explains how I was getting gapped so badly by this unholy dk
!rik
yeah thats normal
I guess the fact I’m normally top dps in pugs without even using that buff speaks to how bad pugs are
We finish on 5cp except for Darkest Night. However if we have Super Charger from Shiv, we can hit the 7cp breakpoint with 5cp. Does it make sense to finish on 5 then or should we still go to max cp?
Finisher rules stay the same
Just see supercharger as extra damage instead of extra combopoints and build as normal
Evening lads. Are there Dungeos where you talent into Iron Wire just to make it more timeable in a Pug? If yes, which ones do you go into IW?
Honestly there aren't a crazy amount of casters packs to really need this. Maybe rookery but you have to drop too much to really make it worth.
how much haste u guys running for just raid
try fasting
fasting helps curb hunger urges
Haste doesn't really fix it either

haste has 0 effect on energy
like, its nothing
thought it helped with energy regen
!wa
placebo effect
The real value is, low energy = less time casting spells = haste attackspeed giga insane value gain

So haste + hit chance is very good cause white hits carry our raid dps
need to hit expertise cap too
does haste not benefit venemous wounds?
Not really no
i usually reforge haste to expertise
Concerning the adds, how do you guys tackle Rik on mythic difficulty? Focus is said to be ontop of the adds whenever they spawn, switching to them from the boss however gets me in serious rotational problems with my Deathstalkers Mark -> Darkest Night. I think I will do more dmg overall PLUS to the adds when i keep focusing the boss and use the cleave of Caustic Splatter. Is that correct?
Focus boss
id like rupture one
and then use caustic from the boss to damage them
rupture one for the agi % and energy on death
You dont have scent in raid
if your tank wont drag the boss to the adds on bad spawns, you will just do no damage to the barrels
no way to change that
you dont??
is scent the oen that gives energy back too
ofc you dont wtf
no
can anyone check my logs to tell me what i'm doing wrong on HM gallywix? I really dont see how to improve
Send log bossman
thanks guys. Focus boss, maybe rupture an add to regain energy after its death. Sounds good to me
here?
Ye
Right away spatter damage seems low
adds are dying a bit fast, do i need to focus only boss and spatter around? and just rupture some adds for energy in the meantime?
Yeah adds do kinda get blown up so its kinda hard to padd, and yeah stay on boss
I didnt realize how awful logs is on mobile to check the cast timeline
!fuu
But your deathmark sequence seems a bit off
Deathmark -> shiv -> KB is the order and after that just build and spend envenoms and shiv as the first shiv expires
i did my first shiv too late so
Well its more that you did 3 mutilates and an envenom before shiv/KB
maybe use my first env before deathmark so i dont build one just after too, just realised that
Yes
so the start would be just ambush> garrot > rupt>deathmark>shiv> kb?
and then mutilate + env till the next shiv
No you want envenom up before dm
trinket before deathmark? good to go? or after?
Ambush-> garotte -> (builder if needed) -> 5+ rupture -> build to 5+ -> envenom -> deathmark sequence
And u macro trinket to deathmark ye
i macro it before my DM
Ye
thanks anyway then
i'll see how it goes with that then
90 parse on Cinderbrew 12 with bleed build. I'm throwing out extra ruptures and garrotes during indiscriminate carnage during gather up, then I hit a Crimson Tempest once most things are gathered up. This usually amounts to 3-4x Ruptures and 4-5x Garrotes during each open with tricks of the trade on the tank.

I’m 30 miles away from my computer
are some enemies immune to Sudden Demise bleedout? I see it often in delves (because you can actually take the time to just watch their HP drop and wait for like 5 seconds to see if they die from SD)
Delves is wack scaling
Something to do overworld scaling
And if you’re in a group it can mess things up
delves/world content is wacky cus of scaling
huh
Delves have some ilvl scaling
But I don’t think sudden demise takes this into account. So you’ll have it trigger and the mob will still be alive
random ass question
!wa
do u guys know if shroud resets on key begin
how weakauras?
curious
guess that explains how they don't die from like 6m bleed damage remaining on them

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.

doing fkin 1.9-2m st on last boos rookery while everyone on 3m is crazy lol
@spice surge @spice spire are we replacing citrine ring with 8/8myth rings?

How much damage do we lose on aoe going the bleed hybrid build that has more st or something along those lines with ma?
or was it ma

The confusion is you said bleed hybrid
Which are two different builds
So no one knows what exactly the build is you’re talking about
True ok
So im pretttyyy sure I heard talk of a bleed variant that sacrificed aoe for st, im probably dreaming
ignore
There’s a hybrid build that does that with forced induction
Ye I don’t really get it either
makes about as much sense as blizz adding another 2 upgrade tracks
But it’s high key stuff
nerfing an already easy tier
So just a different game
yeah high key stuff matters in their 12
I'm only doing 16s but still feel like idk my st is so ass i need to do something but sacrificing 20% aoe doesnt make sense
play sub
Yeh unironically swap specs lmao
i dont think i hit 1.7 unless i go into boss with cds
oh i got this from a delve?
even then idk
yer you time a +11
i think and it gives you
can you time a delve?
its new as of this patch
if you only get 1 cd use its probably more value
that your cds come up during execute
I mean if you’re just full mongo slamming it on cd
And not holding for bosses
Then yeah
Me
That is pretty normal I guess
LMAO
playing bleed build im sending DM on pack before boss, and then pack not taking 2 mins so the not having for boss. I think is normal enough
if your pack doesnt live 2mins
you're doing a low key
where the cds likely come back under 35%
packs not taking two minutes on 16/17 for me bruh
I mean, just don’t that?
hey I was sending it to my raidlead
@balmy condor is it worth to dry shiv at the end of lingering darkness window even if that means that we wont have 2 shivs for the next kingsbane
whispyer
to say not my problem
That’s…. Literally the whole point?
Bleed does damage without dm so yeha idk. Probably not necessary on packs unless something has to mega die
what does that mena
we do or we not do
im talking about raid build btw i love this game
The whole thing of a dry shiv is that the shiv is better used in lingering than kingsbane
That’s the optimization
Yeah, the first half of KB is basically zero damage, so there's no point increasing it by 30%
Especially non-dm kb
im grateful for you guys knowing and shaing the cool stuff
Whereas an extra 30% of the LD&Darkest Night envenom with an extra combo point from supercharger... Fuuuuuuuuuck
Line it up with 10 stacks of the set bonus and some amplifying poison and it's big numbers, way more than the extra 300k or so you'll get from the first 6 seconds of kingsbane
Envenom juiced. Kb little baby spell now.
chat i saw my rogue leader foreverguy post a tweet about his weakauras and it said highlight deathmark at 1 stack to not mess up ur rupture
now idk what that means so i assume im not a min max knower
With the m+ bleed build, are you supposed to use shiv before 35% so AP is up when sudden demise triggers or do you yank it when the moves hit 30%?
can someone help me ❤️
you should refresh rupture in pandemic if it would consume your 3rd deathstalker mark instead of having it expire while you build up/consume DN
Its just like
It's something personally I find useful to be mindful of cuz like
Lets say
0 tea charges, rupture is 13 seconds, you have like, 60 energy, and 1 stack of mark
If you envenom here, you brick on crits, theres a non 0 chance you literally can't build to a max envenom, and a 5+ to rerupture the target
So in a situation like that, it feels better to just wait for a bit for pandemic, rupture, and then go into envenom
ya
ohhh i see
every global
i got ya i got ya
Yeah your rupture will drop if you dont get lucky on crit/blindside procs
Basically
thank you all
mop beta, bye assa, welcome back combat rogue 
Just don’t brick your crits

rogue
but without outlaw
combat so peak
Oh bandits guile 
i'm going crazy, i'm trying to figure out why people are averaging higher on envenoms than i am. i cant see any other reason other than the jastor ring
Wtf is revealing strike
That's when you go A-HA and stab someone
i miss barman shanker
what is this masterpiece
But do I actually play MoP classic?

bleeders how much % haste you rock with, I think I overstimulated myself with haste today, went from 6% to 18% with craftned neck and myth legs
it might not be good cuz lost like 7% crit

i sit at about 9%

but yeah it's not that relevant
the answer is always simming
actually i'll put it this way - when i rip a top gear sim, the outcome is that im about 9% lol
I'm simming but everything sims rly similar ;d
well yeha, thats assa
lol bro you're THIS close to understanding hahaha
stats dont matter much
I wanted to go for more ST and the difference is actually noticeable rookery last boss went from 1.4-5 overall to 1.8 last run
thats a general truth about the game for everything cus people LOVE to overthink secondarys like crazy
and even more for assa
but the crit mastery lose is noteable in aoe
your "difference" sample size is 1 dungeon?
with a boss that is 99% on timers?
and a damage amp 
I was playing rookery depleted for 7 secs cuz my st is horrific even tho I blast aoe, but I guess the real answer for assa is to play with ww/frost dk
and just timed it
on 14
assa does low boss dmg in m+
nothing changes that
ESPECIALLY not stats
you wont suddenly do giga boss dmg cus you got 3% more haste lol
mmm going from 1.4 to 1.7 is kinda moot when others are doing 2-2.5m
Are you guys running crafted neck with haste/mastery
When you get abush procs in bleed build does the ambush also give you mutilate posion stacks on the targets?
Guys, race change only works within the same faction right?
yes
finally a run with a tank that felt right in everything. 4.17 average. I don't get high yet but I assume you need to be in 12+ to make bleed shine
it literally replaces mutilate, you can't mutilate at all, don't think too hard about it
I only do LFG though.
bleed shines in every key
CT could have been higher but I tend to wait and time for add spawns to buff CT
CT should always be up
no rush right

gonna try. Will focus it in next PSF
When in your opener does you guys send Shiv? ambush - deathmark -shiv? on aoe or?
Yes
but @spice surge percentages seem ok right like time right then SD should be high up if vanishes are timed right
I actually dissagree that ct should be higher
Or wait, you dont deathmark immediately
!up
You apply your bleeds before
you never have time to spatter that much
But yes you shiv right after DM
I usually open bleed everything mark shiv into offensive vanish and by that time you get to do 1-2 max 3 envenoms and you rebleed
but dosent deathmark dumplicate the bleeds? from 5 garrote and Rupture+
?
this works the best for me +14 keys
Yes
It duplicates bleeds already on the target too
So why woud you send it afther then?
my free ambush starts stuff usually but I always check if I have all bleeds spread
yes
I am old school so I tab a lot but platers show colors so I know
bleed spec also with knowing gives somehow time to do what next while bleeds are up

anyone mess with this baleful trinket yet?

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
So am I missing something, or does nothing happen on bandit for melee

mythic bandit that is
yup
I guess he hit one reel assistant
at the end
thats about it
i.e actually mutilated it
How does the coin baiting even work
It shoots it at a random range/melee
well i guess you aim it wherever your RL says you aim it
So you have to be facing a particular way?
we're sending all of ours towards the door
no you have to position yourself between the boss and where you want the coins to go
so basically just be positioned where your back is towards door?
if baiting them there
yea
im new to weak auras so i could use some help in setting it up
aka
you stand on the add
cus on mythic the coin must roll over the adds
Does Arterial Precision mass sooth on gally mythic ?
Yes
Thank u
!wa can pick one of these and just import and ready to go. Makes life easier

dumb assa question. shiv + thistle tea. thistle tea's got a 1 minute cooldown. Use both of them on the kingsbane w/ deathmark, and 0 of them on kingsbane w/o deathmark?
Conventional wisdom is you send 1 with each kb
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
use this and forget tea exists
i bet you also stand up while wiping your ass
sometimes
only if people are watching?
with bleed build in aoe do you prio sending out asa many rupture as possible or do you send like 5 then swap to envenom spam
okay so 1 per kb, rather than 2 per deathmark
and theres giga downtime
you spread more, but you still try to be reasonable about it
You have way too much energy during DM to justify slamming 2 teas in it.
like, spending 30years pressing fok->Rupture is ofc still not great
Especially your opener one.
I guess you can kinda spend 2 if you managed to starve yourself before slamming 2nd dm?
yea wasn't sure about the mastery buff and all
absolutely 100% perfect minmaxed tea
and "i dont macro or bind tea and only let the game auto use it" tea
are a 0,4% difference
its like, kinda a meme how little tea matters in WHEN you use it
next dumb question. for anyone using lisonna's was, rupture has some extra text on it, rn in front of a dummy it says "+2 CP", I couldn't figure out what was meant by that from reading the aura itself, what's that supposed to signify?
macro with shiv and forget about it really
Sbs combo point refund
Read serrated bone spike talent
oh that's what that's for
sweet, thanks
shoulda been able to figure that out from the lua but o well
wasn’t our carnage 3 targets in DF? or did I just not take my meds today
im tweaking, at one point I thought it was main + 3 additional in DF
I don't remember it ever being 1+3
does anyone know if you need a separate weakaura to early vanish the fixate on mythic bandit
It was 8 targets at one point
hey would you mind sharing that weakaura 
not sure if its even worth doing that on assa
youre going to be mid dmg on those adds youre gambling to fuck somebody up that might do double the dmg on them

I mean youre right, its not really worth as assa 

sounds like a problem for the other guy 
It’s worth doing it cause then he can fuck it up and I can’t
we did our last reclear today
1 wipe on stix, only wipe of the night
wanna know who fucked it up
The moonkin
i blame my color weakness
red WA marker on bombs on green goop, sorry RL, thats totally the reason i went in and not that im a idiot
was wondering why my parse was so ass compared to rank 1. same amount of uptime on rupture, garrote. take a look at envenom casts, down 20 compared to him. he has 30 more ambush casts. and this was his tier set uptime
nice
MY FUNNEL
Just roll better!
anyone know if we poolin so we dont use tea outside of KB still
Is that so


thats not the 1:50 set
youre doing speed strat on farm anyways arent you
totally different timers :p
everyone except like 30 guilds 
@balmy condor
can you confirm what you play
we recleared yday with old strat 
most guilds progging are doing the old strat
i would imagine
and not the speed farm strat
Thats not the premium dynamite booty
For the regular set you can just press shiv and those mfers aint moving so it doesnt matter if theyre targeting you 
for pushing m+, do you prefer depths enchant for boss damage or radiant power for everything else
@spice surge
probably power
not much sense in optimizing our shitty ST
Idk we never did
So not sure what youre referring to
Doms swapped to new timers
yeah we did aswell but only doing 5 waves
was slight reprog but we have a not very good setup
should be chill from next week onwards with 3%

That’s the goal ye
yeah i punched my stats into feelycraftsims.com and it came back with haste being pretty mid
on prog?
Yus
we had to lust early to make it
We’ll see
The alternative is wiping to fucking fixate bosses for another 70 pulls
Does circlet finally get dethroned when the new myth track upgrades get added?
probably
yo whispyr
What are timings for cds on stixz?
lorggs
your second KB will likely come up JUST before airphase, i can tell you that for sure
should i not send 2 shivs during 1st DM/KB window and hold for lingering darkness after??
1st burst sequence on pull
you use 2 with dm then use one with darkest night in lingering darkness window
yhea
was thinking about sending 1 in DM window and then 2 during lingering
dont even know if its possible
no not unless you can get some add pad or something
in aoe, do we spam crimson tempets?
no
no crimson tempest does not have any initial damage
do u guys stand on mugzee during jails or to a side to spatter one of the adds
its mostly boss placement that matters but sometimes you can stand close to 1 of them and get it to hit
do you know why
unknown reasons 
unknown reasons is what he said?
he rips an augment rune on every pull during prog
the reasons were defo known
"it just says a contract violation"
who has the hopeful eyeroll gif
i need that pls
thanks
I mean its possible but probably 9/10 times they knowwhy
its kinda hard to get banned in wow thesedays
@fallow canopy 
I served my time!
i've yet to serve my time
In DF we had a raider get temp banned for 2 weeks cuz he allegedly told a pug he "doesnt give externals to Rag and QT players cuz they subhuman"
he recently started using a weakaura that posts in chat the real world dollar amount spent whenever he pops a rune or a flask
could that trigger like a
spam auto ban
no
not for a month lol
ok bro was definitely buying gold
Probably not
If this was the case then people using the elitism addon for details would also get spam banned
"i havent bought gold since shadowlands"
Since it does an announcement every time every player takes avoidable damage

And its insanely fucking annoying
oh yea i hate that addon
only bc it is 100% likely to tilt someone who doesn't want to be called out on mistakes
It just clogs up the chat and is in general just a nuisance
a caveat W*
grieftorch whisper weakaura 
yeah that was probably the 100th time they typed that
and got reported alot
I also run an extremely degen WA that spams emotes and messages constantly in instances (sorry not sorry)
I suspect he actually said something way worse
But thats what he told us he got banned for
i nearly made someone in my raid group cry because of it
it kept spamming her


it is kinda mean especially on prog
quick question on darkest night, is it a higher prio to reapply rupture in pandemic or use 7cp envenom with darkest night?
env
Based
I cannot legally upgrade my gear anymore
Ideally you'd refresh the rupture before proccing the darkest night so youre not in that situation to begin with though
But ye like whisp said getting mark up higher prio
whats the script to sim races?
Oh nvm you said pandemic, i was thinking you said it ran out, mb ignore me im silly
i'd never ignore you
i can dm you the script
its probably somewhere in #tc-research
i mean
