probablky signet peacemaker but like kinda no wrong answer

royal lantern
#

there are not really any "set rules" and more like, helpfull tips you can give

like, you want ofc frequent used stuff always easy avaible, like your generic rotational abilitys on 1-5, having interupts/aoe cc/deffensive abilitys also easy reachable from your standart WASD hand etc....

#

1 big thing that helps is making a "this keybind is for X thing on everything i play" rule for yourself

#

like, i always put interupts on all classes and specs on F, my aoe filler ability is always R, my mobility skills are always on my mouse buttons (only a mouse with 3 buttons), stff like that

golden loom
#

Can also take stuff inspiration from other games you play, like personally I was a league player before I started wow so I just went with main builders on Q/E -> spender on R, defensives or mobility on F/G and then cds on 123

strange tundra
#

@near lark 50 minutes looking for a +14 PSF KEKW

golden loom
#

(my cds are on shift 1/2/3 but still )

strange tundra
#

anything that isnt F1 through F12 is a good keybind lol

#

actaully i only use F1 for mount

#

nvm

strange tundra
golden loom
#

tricks is useless

strange tundra
#

i use it on M+ to pull faster than tank if i feel like we need it

golden loom
#

I just press it before pull in raid and then never during combat anyways

strange tundra
#

i dont play raids

golden loom
#

well I play blackjack in M+

strange tundra
#

what do u mean KEKW

golden loom
#

?

strange tundra
#

oh the talent i though t it was some meme sentence

#

seems like i dont play M+ at all

#

i started lkooking for PSF at 3:47 and its 4:32 rn

#

What

#

U play blackjack..? Over tricks?

cunning needle
#

and f4 for healthstone and f5 for healthpot

strange tundra
#

why

cunning needle
#

free realestate

strange tundra
#

u need to be locked up

cunning needle
#

i used to have f2 for eviscerate pepeGrin

#

(it's now 2)

strange tundra
#

progress!

cunning needle
#

since shiv used to be 2 for some reason

strange tundra
#

my shiv is 5

cunning needle
#

i dunno though f1-5 are kinda easy to hit

#

okay maybe not f5

strange tundra
#

u see those pro pvp players

#

with like f1 to f12

#

and shift f1 to f12

#

alt f1 to f12

#

😭

cunning needle
#

yeah thats too cooked for me

#

acutally i really struggle with ctrl binds

strange tundra
#

shift + middle click + f12

cunning needle
#

probably weak pinky or something

strange tundra
#

i only have 2 ctrl keybinds, ctrl+R and ctrl+g

cunning needle
#

bro i had someone who had alt+p bound to barkskin for some crazy reason

#

they were acutally cooked

strange tundra
#

lol

#

how tf thjey press that

#

in high pressure moments

#

robots

cunning needle
#

nfi

#

it was back in wrath though

#

so high pressure moments probably didnt exist

strange tundra
cunning needle
#

i have c and y bound off screen

#

my flag is shift V as well

#

fuck my binds are so cursed

strange tundra
#

u bound S for no backpeddal?

cunning needle
#

nah gotta backpeddle in arena

strange tundra
#

i only use backpeddal in last boss workshop 1st phase

#

when he chases u

#

ur keybinds look normal except the rupture shiv 😭

#

how tf u multi dot with f3

cunning needle
#

f2 and f3 arent that much further away

#

than 2 and 3

strange tundra
#

i have long fingers and i cant press that with comfort

cunning needle
#

f5 is a struggle sometimes

#

probably why i forget about lock rocks so much

strange tundra
#

i just put the healthstone on shift+middleclick

#

took me a bit to get used to it

#

i kept forgeting of that bind

cunning needle
#

mhmm thats a good free bind i should use

scarlet orbit
#

had a feral in my old guild wo used alt + f3 for his bite finisher however thats called again

cunning needle
#

lmao

#

thats kinda cursed

strange tundra
#

ferociosu bite?

cunning needle
#

alt binds are wack

#

how do you press alt

#

thumb or pinky

strange tundra
#

why is it druids that have the fucked binds

cunning needle
#

dunno

#

druids are just fucked in general

#

@shrewd night

strange tundra
cunning needle
scarlet orbit
#

and sometimes he fat fingered alt f4 was a good time

cunning needle
strange tundra
#

i think the only time i had problem with binds was when i was playing fwarr in wotlk

#

and u had to switch between all 3 stances

#

and have shit ton of macros

scarlet orbit
cunning needle
#

see ctrl is just a cursed keybind

#

wait

#

alt

#

okay

#

yeah

#

thats fucked

strange tundra
#

im trying to picture that

cunning needle
#

what if you hit your windows key

strange tundra
#

he can disable it but still

scarlet orbit
#

its like i shift my hand to the left to press controll and to the right to press alt

strange tundra
#

when u shift ur hand to the right u just move all fingers away from WASD or just twist it/ lol

scarlet orbit
#

twist

strange tundra
scarlet orbit
#

Also the reason i need to carry my keybord everywere i go because im not able to play with a keyboard which has not high keys dont know how to say that

strange tundra
#

i think i know what u mean

#

why is the most used neck in m+ a vers mastery crafted one

cunning needle
#

and not having another neck

strange tundra
#

the can just recraft it?

#

to crit mast or haste mast

cunning needle
#

but then they cant play sub in raid

strange tundra
#

oh u are right

cunning needle
#

also archon says crit/mast

strange tundra
#

i checked murlok didnt check archon yet

cunning needle
#

hey guys, i think i dont understand english correctly, what is " Rupture spinnig "?

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.

What discomb said above

#

You said low cp raptures on very low health mobs

#

For that energ

dawn seal
#

is anyone good with wclogs

#

out of how many people I am 530 how can I check this info

vale marten
hidden bay
strange tundra
limber lion
#

Because it's not really relevant information

#

The purple color refers to the top 25%

#

So you can safely at least assume you're in the top 25%, so 530 out of 2k+ at least.

limber lion
#

One player can kill a boss 1000 times but their asp rank would only show up based on the best parse out of those 1000 kills.

vale marten
#

yeah true

#

there are 3150 assa rogues who have kiled atleast 1 boss

#

thats dont private log that is

eternal drift
#

Do you send one envenom in AOE (and ST) before deathstalker and shiv? Or just mutilate for the caustic spatter and then DS -> shiv -> envenom?

#

Not accounting for kingsbane (bleed build)

hardy rapids
#

Nothing crazy but im a lefty so the 1-4 with shift and alts are really easy, F1-F4 are on mouse

desert cove
#

so I have a question for cinderbrew, when the totem gets summoned should I target swap to it, or just let others take care of it

strange tundra
#

also depends on group comp

#

do they ahve big dmg

desert cove
#

gotcha, I was doing a 14 cinderbrew for the first time and I didn't really know how to approach that pull

strange tundra
#

just put full bleeds take 2 seconds

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

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

any tips for first time sprocket myth progress i might not get from the guide?

coral ibex
#

hit boss

#

dont stand in beams

fluid timber
#

on m? be aware of shadowstepping

shy axle
coral ibex
#

dont greed the intermission

spice surge
#

Just dont shadowstep

coral ibex
#

shadowstep is banned

#

that's it

shy axle
#

why?

coral ibex
#

you will polarity the raid

fluid timber
#

u have 2 camps, u cant touch ppl from the other color

coral ibex
#

100%

winged sun
#

darkflame +17, almost beating 3.6k rio udk, was stunned for 6 sec on candle king and still did 1.91m st, and top dps on last boss too by a good gap

#

averaging around 1.8-2m pure st

#

double shiv + dashing build goes crazy in some keys

coral ibex
#

and since polarity gets randomly reassigned many times you can't even always step to a certain person

#

just dont shadowstep unless a wipe is called

#

then step to the opposite color

#

for max fun

winged sun
#

ngl this build is rly crazy in real gameplay

fluid timber
#

its only fun until u shadowstep into death advanced dk

winged sun
#

does insane overall and aoe and does raid st

fluid timber
winged sun
#

and this build is the most funnel heavy build

#

ah this a hybrid build ?

winged sun
#

no garrotes, just rupture and blast aoe

#

ye

#

spam envenoms

#

it is a high key build ofc but ye

#

builds on +10 dont matter anyway

fluid timber
#

since i mainly play sub and dont rly like dots on melee speccs, u had me with no garrotes

winged sun
#

u only garrote on st

shy axle
#

just shadowstep the camp everytime, i get it pepe_chad

#

thanks guys

fluid timber
#

well on 1 target i dont mind

shy axle
#

@winged sun plays just like hybrid minues aoe gar? so 5 ruptures and spam env?

fluid timber
winged sun
#

since it has a cd in aoe

shy axle
#

ok ty for explaining it

winged sun
#

np

#

shiv is same as raid ofc

#

before kingsbane and last 8 sec

golden loom
#

anyone know if multiple atrophic poisons still stack in raid or did it get fixed?

winged sun
#

ye stacks

#

idk if it got fixed

#

we havent checked recently

#

idk if anyone has

#

but last time we checked it stacks still

golden loom
#

yeah I know at start of patch it was stacking

#

just thinkin if I should go numbing poison on bandit since we are 2 rogues

silk sundial
#

I was using that a good bit in season 1. Drop MA and picked up supercharger. In m+ do you supercharger your CT or Enevenom?

winged sun
#

numbing is useless tho

golden loom
#

cause cast time extension on the adds kinda nice

winged sun
#

idk

#

maybe

#

but

#

6% dr is quite alot

golden loom
#

like u wanna kick the late adds anyways

winged sun
#

cant miss that

golden loom
winged sun
#

u still need to apply the numbing too

#

so

#

its useless

#

warlock has a curse to lower cast if anything, it does stack with numbing but its w.e

#

imo DR is incredible

golden loom
#

yeah we have our lock CoT the far add

#

like the one ranges are on

winged sun
#

ye

#

idk feels like numbing is mega rare case where it'd help

#

rather than atrophic is guaranteed good value

royal lantern
#

atrophic and "guranteed"

golden loom
#

ye deffo if it stacks

royal lantern
#

lol

winged sun
#

last time it got fixed it was on tww start

#

alpha

golden loom
#

but in the case where only 1 works then going numbing would be the play for sure

winged sun
#

then it worked again start of tww s2 (after rwf i think)

#

idk if it worked for rwf

#

i believe it was the patch we had after rwf ended that fucked it again

#

not sure

red schooner
# coral ibex for max fun

this is my plan for keeping sane on sprocket prog. When a wipe is called, see how many people I can send to the shadowrealm without dying myself.

!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

well dont you want more bleeds out with bleed build

vivid lodge
#

but why? you got x trash mobs you can easily see how many got it. looks nice. dunno sometimes espically when they stack you lose easily track

rotund oak
coral ibex
#

yea but having a weakaura to count them is easier to keep track of in a pull with 20 nameplates

ofc i use platter and do it like that, but this seemded like a lil funny extra

so u dont rly need double shiv + dashing there

on almost every boss

#

you'll be always healthy on energy with that build so

#

you'll do good st

Yeah this build cranks ill post some stuff when im home

# sudden brook Probs not with the added ilvl bump

Still might be. Some will hit weird points where circlet is bad because they have 30k mastery and like 6k everything else. But GIGA mast is gonna be king.
Could see maybe oab myth + jastor myth with bump knocking it off tho

just change the order in the macro or

# coral ibex did you use evasion

Didn't think I needed to that often, I used it to soften magic damage occasionally.
Maybe if the other two dps actually did damage it wouldn't have felt tight.

will that happen in this order

#

or are they all at once

solar wyvern
#

Yes in that order but also all at once

tall atlas
#

nice

#

ill mod it about now

#

this seem better you think?

#

maybe swap pot and use

coral ibex
#

you won't experience any change

tall atlas
#

why

solar wyvern
#

For deathmark it doesn't matter since its a 16 sec cast but you'd want your pot and onuse before something like secret technique or an instant ability

astral current
#

imo

tall atlas
#

so my crit and mastery value are close im just trying to stop the pacemaker overtake mastery when i hit signet as much as possible

strong flame
#

ya, put stuff thats off gcd first, like pot/trinkets/racial, deathmark probably triggers a gcd before

astral current
# tall atlas

you can use this one and just replace blood fury with your racial

#

signet is kinda neat, in that it always fits with deathmark, where house of cards will be slightly off

tall atlas
#

idm but it keeps giving me crit thats the problem

#

because i have so much base crit

#

when pace procs it makes crit my highest stat and then i dont get a sxc mastery proc on pull

i have to try the build more i need to see how it feels in floodgates first

#

might be rly good

#

might be just op everywhere

real pike
winged sun
#

the double shiv with dashing does give a quite insane boost to st

#

which makes bosses go alot faster

#

i truly believe sin has better st than unholy with this build or about the same

#

it is definitely a must play for workshop/darkflame and priory tho

humble verge
#

icl

winged sun
#

master assassin is mega troll in rookery aswell

#

so you'll just go back to this build

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.

Any clue why my Venomous Wounds might not be working?

Nice

Good dmg

iron carbon
#

I can give a test for you a couple of keys. Do you think 15+ is relevant enough?

winged sun
#

Sure

#

Boss dmg is relevant on 15s

iron carbon
#

ToP, WK, DFC and PSF you said?

winged sun
#

You can play it on all keys except floodgates and cinderbrew

#

Those 2 u play either hybrid or bleed build

iron carbon
#

To have access to Iron wire?

winged sun
#

I never play Ironwire

viscid spear
iron carbon
#

You not pugging I bet?

winged sun
#

No

tall atlas
#

Priory 11

winged sun
#

Also they keys I do are too high for bleed build to be good

winged sun
#

What build is that ur playing on 11

tall atlas
#

bleed

iron carbon
#

If you do'nt play iw

winged sun
#

I play hybrid for mega funnel

iron carbon
#

Sub would'nt do the job?

winged sun
#

Sub has no funnel

#

Also it’s rly bad in cinderbrew

solar wyvern
#

Im lowkey not entirely convinced hybrid is better than bleed in floodgate

tall atlas
#

29m demise crit

winged sun
#

Bleed*

#

u legit do tank dps

solar wyvern
#

Idk bleed st is similar to hybrid in my experience

winged sun
#

I’d just play forced induction for floodgates

#

I still also want to try dashing in floodgates

#

I’m convinced it’ll be good there

solar wyvern
#

But i haven't played a lot of hybrid this season. Maybe i givr it a whirl

tall atlas
#

if you play it like youre meant to

#

above 50% energy, full send in dm/ dn

#

its goo

#

d

winged sun
#

Hybrid does more st

#

Like

solar wyvern
#

With FI for sure it does

winged sun
#

Bleed will do well if u pull the boss with all ur cds rdu

tall atlas
#

ye more but i would say the amount of aoe you lose isnt worth it

winged sun
#

Rdy+3 tea’s

#

But

#

If u don’t

#

It’s over

solar wyvern
#

Without a prio spec

winged sun
#

Subterfuge just feels worse in much higher keys anyway

iron carbon
#

I don't get it Zeross

winged sun
#

I’ll prob end up never playing subterfuge only in keys like cinderbrew

solar wyvern
#

That was my experience last season, i just played 2x lethality supercharger at the end

iron carbon
#

I don't like subterfuge tbh

noble night
#

!wa

iron carbon
#

Only on bleeds build

prisma monolithBOT
iron carbon
#

I pref the big envenom way

solar wyvern
#

I think it may just be comp dependent. Like if I'm playing with a havoc dh, bleed value goes up

#

Since prio is covered

winged sun
#

From my experience bleed build doesn’t do higher aoe whatsoever

solar wyvern
#

How much haste were you playing with? I was consistently 1-1.5m higher on bleed vs hybrid

#

In giga pulls

winged sun
#

I don’t remember haven’t touched it recently

#

I could see bleed build being good in ToP only

solar wyvern
#

In top it kinda goes crazy

#

On kulthorak and gorechop

iron carbon
#

Just did one at the moment

winged sun
#

And skip x2 mini bosses

solar wyvern
#

But i wanna try dashing lightweight and compare

iron carbon
#

3,5m overall

#

As bleeds

winged sun
#

You must skip x2 mini bosses if ur playing bleed

solar wyvern
#

Just didnt have a single key roll into top last night

winged sun
#

Otherwise its gg

solar wyvern
#

Yeah for sure, but people do that anyways nowadays

iron carbon
#

Dunno how good/bad it is

solar wyvern
#

Its okay for top

I died a pack btw

I noticed wowhead recommends the embellishments: DS Ascension w/ Writhing Armor banding. I am just switching to assasination after having mained Subtlety so my current embellishments are the Elemental focusing lens (X2). When I sim it as assasination, raidbots says that my current embellishments are better than switching. Am I doing something wrong or is Wowhead wrong?

spice surge
#

Embellishments are so weak that it practically doesnt matter

Not as funny as the last amp being clear on the other side of the arena from the previous one, and it being right next to boss so 90% of the group doesn't make it in time.

You know I love this shit, great cooks, tweakable builds that work for different niches, very cool

#

Might have to add this one to the stable even though I don’t do high enough keys for it to be required

sonic schooner
#

it does great from my testings, losing a little bit of aoe to gain a lot of single target somehow. Very cool in keys where garrot has low value and prio / st damage are welcome (aka everykeys cuz other classes just do aoe but arcane)

anyone have a plater mod to track improved garrotes? Cant seem to find one

yes that's the buff on your character

garrote is 703

ah okay fair

so what would trigger a wa to know that its the improved version on a mob

balmy condor

a lot of lua code

coarse summit

feral players use an addon to track it i think, lemme try to find it

#

not sure if it interacts with plater or how it works

balmy condor
#

basically most weakauras that track imp gar

#

will check your buffs and then read the combat log

#

to see if you cast a garrote while the buff is active

Is Arterial Precision worse than kingsbane for every M+ dungeon or only some of them? I feel like arterial precision is insanely good in like priory and cinderbrew and big aoe pull ones but 4 of the top 5 best assass M+ rogues are running kingsbane poison build over it

#

we're planning on sending all in 3rd cages to overload (break out giga quick) them, do we do more goon dmg inside or out

?

this will be at like 5:25-6ish, solidly in execute

but no cds running

coral ibex

i'm not sure

static glacier
#

I don't mind following instructions if it gets the kill, Im just questioning if it's the play or not

#

if we'd do more goon dmg while outside we would stay out, but it'll be on the 4 cage set

fallow sonnet
balmy condor
#

generally yes

coral ibex
#

i havent gotten to mugzee yet but i'd say probably just go in the gaol until you are lacking the boss damage to secure the kill

this is the hardest one i've hit loving this build thanks guys

so then .. . is arterial precision the move?

4 of the top 5 rogue in m+ were running kingsbane when i chekced yesterday

they care a lot about pure st

ok true

balmy condor

unless you're doing like fucking 19's or whatever

nova shadow
balmy condor

no real reason to not play bleed build

yea for like 10-12s

definitely not at that range

it's like title only

the nerfed it before the patch came out

outlaw still running it 🙂

Im boutta pump even more dmg now then

so it was like -1% or something, a large large portion of skippers was warqueens

On the topic of imp garrotes. In an aoe situation should we refresh the imp garrote during the last second or two of subt/ic window?

That's what I've been doing. Idk if it's optimal, but imp garrote does a decent chunk w/bleed build

and rupture has no cd so you can just spam it

just a matter of time till ppl play double shiv

unless @balmy condor has something i dont know

Its john assassination rogue

do we have any situation where we dont shiv inside of kingsbane?

i sometimes dont double shiv because im using it for aoe

supercharger and stuff

ye

its vry big

legit does insane dmg

over

1st part of kingsbane?

since 1st part of kingsbane is a wet noodle

need a TC to confirm

#

u built diff zero

#

but also isnt log lower overalls cuz of the way logs works?

sonic schooner
#

i wonder why the sim does 2 shivs back to back with this talents

balmy condor
winged sun
#

bleed better in low keys

balmy condor
#

what talents

winged sun
#

dont play my build in low keys

winged sun
sonic schooner
#

that whispyr

#

since u /ignored zero i guess

balmy condor
#

what the fuck is that

winged sun
#

it works rly well in high keys

sonic schooner
#

it s actually doing greater overall in high keys

winged sun
#

idk why

sonic schooner
#

dropping some little aoe for more st somehow

winged sun
#

and it does 2m pure st

balmy condor
#

taking double shiv over imp gar

winged sun
#

with bl

balmy condor
#

is actually demented

winged sun
#

issue is

#

garrote is useless in high keys

sonic schooner
#

and yea, even tho the sim disagree but the sim does really weird stuff

winged sun
#

some mobs ur garroting die insta

balmy condor
#

I'll take a look

sonic schooner
#

it s still even more single target

winged sun
#

just fyi

hexed root
#

i like bleed build more for ST in low keys

winged sun
#

this build is extremely hard to play

#

you have to FoK between ruptures

sonic schooner
#

but i think it really depens on key, like to me it felt bad in top / ML when i tried, but it felt definitly better and number were higher in dfc

lean plover
balmy condor
#

I mean I don't see the point in taking sudden demise with this build honestly

sonic schooner
#

well that what i was asking myself

#

but since they buffed it to 15%

#

it s a lot on rupture / ct and garr st

balmy condor
#

like if we're going to play a raid build, we already have build archetypes for that

#

the return of cleave

sonic schooner
#

but u dont get ct on the cleave m+ build

#

or do we?

balmy condor
#

ofc you do

#

what

sonic schooner
#

Yo zero

balmy condor
#

its this, but no one plays it so would change it to FI/ttk/dashing

sonic schooner
#

Check that

balmy condor
#

that's a raid build you knob

winged sun
#

i thought about dropping sudden demise but idk what alternative i can take

balmy condor
#

lemme fix this cleave build

#

hold on

winged sun
#

i dont think my build is undersimming, its just rly good on mobs that live

#

for abit

sonic schooner
#

i actually wonder how much scent is in reality zero. Do you think we can give up that unless high boss funnel (brew / floodgate) ?

balmy condor
#

would basically be this

winged sun
#

cannot drop scent

#

impossible

#

scent is the most broken talent in m+ atm

sonic schooner
#

yea i agree but i was just wondering

winged sun
#

nah

#

impossible

balmy condor
#

anyway lemme go take a look at the shiv thing

#

looks okay on first glance though

#

so probably some weird breaks only sometimes type shit

sonic schooner
#

do u still have the screenshot of the double shiv somewhere zero?

winged sun
#

double shiv back to back

#

let me see if i can find the sim

sonic schooner
#

yea that was an aoe sim

winged sun
#

10 target sim, i was kinda trying to see what it does

#

it was rupturing alot?

#

which seems odd

sonic schooner
#

must value reapplying rupture

#

i can feel that aoe IC without subterfuge can be a bit broken

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Patchwerk aoe sims

winged sun
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

Yeah those aren’t supported

#

Gl with that

winged sun
#

oh rip

#

hmm

sonic schooner
#

work on the apl zero now

balmy condor
#

Too many builds too many situations too many breakpoints

#

You sim one thing in 8 target it’s +2% for one specific build and then it’s -3% in dslice

winged sun
#

im down to try this with any sin rogue in a low key idk how its gonna play out on details

sonic schooner
#

that s why i felt odd about ds / aoe sims

balmy condor
#

Ds is good

winged sun
#

ye ds is good

balmy condor
#

We optimize for ds and that’s supported

#

I’m not going to spend like 50 hours optimizing 9 target 3 min no bloodlust with no tea double shiv dashing no imp gar

sonic schooner
#

yea my feeling is mostly due to the fact that you dont have giga pulls in DS

balmy condor
#

Just because one dude one time decides it’s better

sonic schooner
#

ohyea ofc

nova aspen
#

@winged sun u dont ct in st right

#

with ur build

solar wyvern
#

No

winged sun
#

ye its alot of work just high keys

solar wyvern
#

Amp poison means no ct in st

nova aspen
#

ye ok

balmy condor
#

Like as an example the other day shindig was asking about what target count you stop using shiv with hybrid

nova aspen
#

im about to try some 15-16s ill give it a whirl

balmy condor
#

And like there was easy 2-3% gains in sustained patchwerk but none of that shit works in dslice

#

Was -1.5% in dslice

#

So then the question is, is it worth adding that shit just to make 7 target patchwerk accurate?

nova aspen
balmy condor
#

Obviously not

#

So then you gotta go in and figure out why it sucks in dungeonslice

#

Patchwerk aoe is just a terrible sim that doesn’t apply to anything

#

Is what it is

#

Also makes the sims just terrible to maintain

winged sun
#

could crit stat be potentially undersimming whispyr?

#

i feel like it does alot on pure st

#

and specifically on this build, having 30% crit baseline feels very good

balmy condor
#

Like just critv

#

The stat

winged sun
#

you always pump full cp every fok kinda

#

yeah

#

just the stat

balmy condor
#

No, that’s not possible

wouldn't you be better off taking the points out of the right side and chucking them into the left?

#

especially now with the ambush changes

gaunt quiver
#

Scent of Blood AGI boost is pretty dope.

nova kelp
#

I doubt that would be ENOUGH of an aoe diff

#

like if you wanted to shove some of your aoe into single target there's an easier option here

#

press n, spec sub

lean plover
#

Now you have st but no aoe

gaunt quiver
#

20% AGI in packs of at least 5. Which at high level keys is almost always happening.

nova kelp
#

that tree up there is a pretty massive loss in aoe though

#

compared to the more reg bleed build I'd imagine at least

#

I'd be surprised if it out paced the normal sub build for aoe by a collossal margin

#

although wouldn't be worried about lining shit up so much

gaunt quiver
#

I posted a 33M envenom against momma a few days ago using that spec.

nova kelp
#

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

random events are hard to go by

#

I once made people cheer at a karaoke bar

#

doesn't fmean I'm a sick singer

#

this just looks more like adjusting by a group preference, WHICH makes sense to do as you go higher depending on requirements

#

but once you're at that stage, it's like being a chef
you can break the rules so long as you know how and why they're there

balmy condor
#

33m doesn’t even seem that high tbh

#

People are getting 19mil with no damage amp in raids

#

Momma is 200% amp

#

Should realistically be able to get way higher than 33

In raid?

19m in raid

Don’t think I’m hitting anywhere near that

#

oh shit yeah, I thought that sounded high at first but apparently I did an 18m on cauldron last night
