Why take the trade offer of less dam for more effort
Yeah imma just go bleed, but another question
DO i have to stay above 150 energy in st?
For it to be worth it
bleed hasn't been doing me too bad in 16s, but bleed def doesn't feel like it work in places like workshop or theater
overall still ends up being decent, but you go mega slow in ST portions
ye
Its a small optimization but its good if you can
you do make up for it by decimating aoe portions of the dungeon
but the really hard pain points of those 2 places are more ST oriented
100% but also depends on your comp tbf
I mean yeah if you have boomkin or arcane they'll do the St work for you xd
my team is me as bleed, ret and enhance
And you blast AOE without using cd's
about signet why not HoC ?
Whereas they have to
Isn't enahance ST a bit bad atm?
idk gonna ask now
i'm gonna start using the new hybrid build tomorrow and see what happens
@balmy condor do u need to like pop house of cards exactly on deathmark otherwise it may result in a dps loss since its lower duration?
So you prefer Hybrid over bleed in TOP and Work?
or does that not matter?
i haven't played with hybrid in a hot minute this season, was just slamming as sub then swapped to bleed
but i can already see hybrid being much better in those 2 places in particular yeah
But not with FI perhaps
sorry i'm a sub main, wtf is FI
If you're doing 12s like
the more ST oriented build
we don't have an acronym for that in the sub channel because you never swap off that talent haha
so nobody ever talks about it
i don't think in 12's dropping bleed makes any sense
Ah fair lmfao
no matter what dungeon
waiting for about 3 hours to get inv for a brew / psf
is it usual? or they hate me?
Wth?
its like assa is a bad class in these 2
what IO you got :(?
2 things
'
AHHH TOP!!
Yep going for it rn
- your priory and cinderbrew are 2 levels lower than your push key level
- people still try to meta chase at those key levels
trying to make all of them 12 tho ๐ฆ
OH queueing for 12
yup
sorry i thought 13
But shroud B)
meta chaser
mage has shroud
๐ฆ
- BL
not aoe shroud
+arcane intellect
mass invis
don't need shroud when priest has soothe ๐
instead of mass shield ๐
yes they do
also a lot of skips right now is done with tanks using meld
plus unholy does absurd overall
its 30 sec cd xddddd
so they're right to want one
my spotify is making me crazy it reduce volume to 1% in dungeon
If I'm starting 16s with physical comp (druid, warrior, monk, hunter, rogue) will playing bleed build be significantly better than hybrid? Tried simming but having a hard time
next reset it will get nerf
HOPEFULLY!
it's getting a nerf yeah
curious how big an impact it will have
3%
i heard it depends on rng
25% nerf on Blood beast tho
if you're getting really good blood beast procs the nerf is bigger
imagine on big pulls
all of your dmg
is the rng thing
it spawns
Ret buffs are kinda crazy
kinda glad i'm running with a ret right now ๐
his buffs are my buffs
Whatโs your comp?
2 of the people are my guildies
it's kinda rough because we tried doing 5 melee comp with like mistweaver
no bueno
it's bad
really bad in some places
REALLY bad
he's my guildie ๐
piano ๐
This is unfortunately so true.. I got so sick of pugging on my rogue, I get way easier invites on my devastation because of BL alone. And some other group utility that rogue doesnโt really have. At least for pugging itโs really annoying but understandable that every group with 30+ dps applicants picks magic dmg + utility + range
i thought only outlaw needs a pocket shammy
it's pretty big for sin too
for sub it's enormous
like roughly 10%
maybe even more
WTF
sub is bascially unplayable without skyfury
sht?
atleast outlaw gain Energy
assa applies more poisons too
sub's entire combo point and energy system revolves around auto attacks
trust it's massive
DAMN
didnt know that
Sub without skyfury feels like you forgot to take a few key talents
Had me check mid key once
i've been playing outlaw
and i was greedy for versa
MY MASTERY IS WINNING!
road to 105
is that as outlaw??
assa
hope its assa
oh ok haha
lmao
4% haste on law
unplayable
make outlaw mastery great again
HASTE MASTERY OUTLAW KING >
im going to play this mop classic
for sub mastery
its fun af
cant wait to ruin pepole day by auto attack
back when outlaw was combat it's mastery was really good
i remember stacking mastery for pvp
wasnt it main gauche?
i think so yeah
but it worked differently
like hot hands on enhance shaman
Don't wanna be a salty guy
but how fucking stupid do you need to b
to be in a 14
And not know what "Bl" means
you could 100-0 someone in pvp in a kidney shot with red buff and killing spree
as a shaman
because your mastery procced like crazy
Maybe alliance
Ok?
they call it heroism
But people call it lust either way
^^
Hero on pull
And his response was just
"Sorry was distracted"
WTF ๐
it was so long ago so i don't remember the exact specifics
its probably
but yeah combat mastery was once pretty good
mop / cata / wod
Maybe forgot he's on bl alt
best poison ever invented
Happened to be on dk, like oh shit im the cr guy ๐คฃ
oh i think i remember, when you had more mastery the % chance to proc was higher
per attack
on top of doing more dmg
that cata + MOP
i remember that
lol
Well
so when you went into killing spree you attacked really, really fast and main gauche procced nonstop
lmao
I dont read chat
He was doing a pull that's a very obv BL pull
Text bubbles appear above your character when you speak
Was this pull
sub mastery was about Slice and dice gives attack speed from your mastery %
yeah i miss that
Good old times waiting for 3min for your mage to get a sheep around kicks, grounds, intervene, and just say "fuck it" internal bleeding KS red spree healer dead go next
i miss 3 spells the most
burst of speed - paralytic poison and Shadow priest surrender to madness
if they ever bring back surrender to madness
I mean itโs really not that big of a deal happens all the time
BEST FEELING EVER
Might be language barrier
good times ๐
pumping boss and you die after boss
wow was better in old times
i miss legion
i kinda scared about legion classic
it will literaly destroy retail
Yea but like it's a 14
And he spoke english
and knows what bloodlust is
WHO TF play retail when we have legion classic
Because we told him earlier about it
I just ping the dude's head now until they understand
Old content is lame
Tf I wana replay it for
And for some, legion was like yesterday
i still play legion on private servers sometimes
keys are living hell
ur getting gaslit to fuck
if ur doing a 14 and u dont lust after 5 reminders in chat on an obvious lust pull idk
stop playing poker on the other screen or
people seriously acting like a shaman in a 14 doesnt know what lust is because they are alliance
i play on an alliance only server for like 10 years now and ive never heard anyone refer to it as heroism ever
not real alliance server
i heard it refered by hero , lust mostly
they were horde inside
This too yea
Maybe it wasnt bl turn on rotation manager
TRUE
Bro imagine that
Bl shows up in the rota manager
the equivilant of brann saying
"I'm going all out!"
On some random trash mobs
hope the shaman rotation manager doesnt bloodlust when my assa rotation manager is reapplying my poisons
i wonder how that one button shit is gonna work for healers
is it also switching targets
it just automatically heals the pally in the group
i dont think it will , might be dps tank thing only
In a big M+ pull, is there a certain ballpark number of Ruptures you aim to keep up after the ones from your Indiscriminate Carnage window fall off?
huge sudden demise lol
Fun when this happens, not so much when you kill your homies in ToP
i am a double shiv sally
I think they fixed that
Though yeah week 1 breaking that out on unsuspecting guildies was fun
I mean i normally just tell people to kill me, cos it takes too long to get rolling and kill the other person
No mark, no bleeds up, as well as not great ST damage anyhow cos sin rogue in m+
IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS

I think i didn't have my raid talents picked before lol
I feel that, plenty of times I run sims on Tuesdays after I check Vault and forget I'm still in M+ build.
Is there anytning besides blind we can do for the affix this week?
Be a BElf
Arcane Torrent is an AoE dispel
Minmax your AOE CC's B)
Fellas I thought sin didn't really care too much about stats, why is it simming 100-200k lower than my sub? Is signet/HoC really that important? (I'm using double passive ATM since it's Sims higher than using the PvP trink I use on sub)
Id say just don't trust sim numbers alone, sin sims low
dont use the sims to compares specs just gear
No itโs because a lot of classes add optimizations that are unrealistic to gains.
They just see โx apl does more so we send itโ
I did notice I am doing 200k ISH more in real fights (even though I'm getting 50th %iles compared to the 85-90s I was getting on sub)
Itโs akin to a 0.2% gain if you rupture at 12 seconds instead of pandemic but a 0.1% loss if 11
(This is an example and is not real)
wowhead guide says to fok on 2 target, but with blindside talentedwouldnt it be 3?
!fok
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
ty
๐
Yep girl math that shit bestie


I use the Alchemical.
I like Chaos
this is prob dumb question but if u have 3 stacks of mark on a target and darkest night up im guessing ur suppose to avoid spending full cp to consume the existing stacks first?
SAME SAME!
cant consume stacks with DN up
rlly? itll stay at 3?
yes
it doesnt
ok so if u have proc just send it?
why shouldn't you though ?
you always wanna consume darkest night asap
ok
i thought i could consume the 3 existing stacks first xd cant believe i didnt notice that
tyvm for the heads up lol
i am up too early

!haste
!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
Now I think about this more I'm not sure it's the culprit since I know for a fact I can hit a dummy for the exact same as SIM with no raid buffs (with raid buffs is a bit different since the spec moves a bit faster)
Spreading this as gospel
So I don't think the sub apl has too many degenerate optimizations baked in
Oh wait
Youโre comparing sub and sin
Itโs the same philosophy I thought you were going different classes dog
sub is pretty str8 forward yeah
not much to do,exhale everything,wait till next time
Meaningful execute makes sense to me for why sin would under-sim
I mean it sims with execute
Oh
Iโm about to spread you pal
I think Sims take execute into account
Not again
It just doesn't account for the absolute goats playing sin 
But theyโre a hamster?

It's a bear though
I'm just confused because I'm playing worse on sin (much lower percentiles) while doing more damage yet simming lower on sin compared to sub
Wait oh I could have avoided this conversation easily
Assassination in raid is now piss easy. Therefore many can do the basics to do good damage, thereโs not a ton of sequencing, nothing crazy.
Itโs just burst windows
Maintain bleeds
And envenom
No vanish, no bitches, etc

Also we partitioned a week ago so youโre not parsing against week one 638s in s1 gear



So basically, there's super low variance and realistically 50s are ok
I mean thereโs absolutely variance literally the 4p is variance
You can post a log
It does help
is execute calculated in sims ?
Yes
oh i thought a reason we undersim is this
Nop

I tried before to start a log thread but apparently that doesn't work in here :)
This was our best mug'zee attempt, I was pretty consistent across the night except for the last pull where I got screwed over with the ice
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/avAbYXfQ4ByJMxDp?fight=12&type=damage-done
Second time I've gotten a Warbound version of a BiS trinket
Probably a braindead question, but for Deathmark, does it only dup the stuff that's on when you apply it, or anything during the duration?
Cool, thx
only snapshot rogue has is CT based on targets
in ST for bleed build m+, am i supposed to be running out of energy on bosses? Or should i be maintaining 50% energy and just do a "slow" rotation to maintain it
I kind of understand the rotation, but why am i just always out of energy
Contemplating just sending the Pacemaker to my Druid
Improved garrote too
Do this, aim to sit above 50%
yeah you will be out of energy, the goal is to put up your bleeds and refresh them without losing uptime. When you have to refresh bleeds or cast shiv/dm you spam your buttons , when you don't instead of spamming a filler envenom you can auto attack to go above 50%
Because that's how the spec works
The spec doesn't have energy in st, it's by design
so in ST, im basically energy starved with bleed stacks up and then auto attack back to 50%
and do it all over again
Well more that you want to hover above 150
Hamster? I hardly know er!
Only going below when you have dn up
what's DN?
ah got it
Do you spam in shiv for bleed build? Any knowers
Itโs actually deez nuts
Once all bleeds are up (Ct included)
On cd (while not in shiv)
What
Yes you do as far as I know
yeah you spam when shiv is on the target, and then go afk after it ends
You mean Spam evenom?
Like normally for bleed build u stay above 150, but if you are in shiv, do you care about staying above 150
Oh no
Or do u spam
You spam
That's what I thought
Youโre only pooling like 20% of the time to stay above
When no shiv and no energy or darkest night
No point in not pooling
According to sims
5min Patchwerk: HoC(665)/Pace(658)
8min Patchwerk: HoC(665)/EoK(645)
Yeah that tracks
Eye is very good the longer you go even at a rat ilvl I believe it
DUmb Warbound junk 
Warbound eye would be going to a rat
Saw Pacemaker and got excited
But what fight is 8 min apart from last 3 bosses in mythic?
You answered it 

o.o
That's impressive

so this just happened
ty, ceverion plater fucking impossible to see what my ability on the ad is
aght aght what u shopping for
look
clipped and shipped
i literally just logged in infront of these two
shouldve been orc rogue and a orc monk with the staff

not immersive enough as belf and troll
tmog check
oh hey I did a key with you
(it did not go well so I won't say which one)
thats a full set
super creative 100%
Mog checked
thats from cata yea?
thats from a lot of places
say
It was the +12 Cinderbrew that my healer friend shat the bed on during the first boss and we called it
watch out for shredder
human rogue in Aberrus tier inc
Do you have a Splinter?
Needed a vulpera for Splinter me thinks
we tried was too cute
Any advice i want to switch to Assassination but i currently have 675 sword and 668 fist weapon currently so is switching possible without a major dip in damage / ilvl
current spec is outlaw
thats what i thought thanks for the sanity check lol
I don't understand this casual addict guy is full stacked on crit mastery yet the sims asks us to put some haste and vers
He's doing his thing
thank you sir!
its almost like characters have different gear and stats and sims can be different character to character depending on content being done

And he's playing KB
probably justified in 17+
crit mastery favors aoe
haste favors single target
Your sims say to put on haste vers 
His might be different
Also different build different key level
@runic hinge 
hardest part of resiliance
mythic OAB do you guys hard switch to adds or just cleave off boss
cinder is the hardest by farrr
NAHHH
i've never passed from the first pull
tanks always die
psf is maybe my favorite one from this pool
The hardest is being invited to the final one you need
first pull is hard but bvery nice dungeon
YEP
i have cinder and psf for 14 now
ive been looking for a dungeon since 15PM (server time)
its 20 now..
20:30
actualy
rogue gamplay is fun:
the gampley: ( being in que for 5 hours)
i'm declining you from this conversation
im used to getting declined and rejected
i will ask everysingle girl in street from now
who cares
but really, the solution is rogues should have a lust ability. Perhaps some sort of crystalized powder that energizes everyone.
I WILL BE THE REJECTION IT SELF!
lust shouldn't be class specific just give everyone lust
blue crystal
why not white?
spraying me*h to the air
and everyone gets high
EZ
might get confused with blinding powder
HMMM
since you technically can with drums anyway, it's just expensive for the ones without it built in- shouldn't be this way
thats 10% weaker tho
it shouldn't be
Do you think rogues would get accepted more if we inherently had a lust?
Nope
the problem isnt lust tbh
it would remove searching for a specific class bcs of lust
rogues wont get accepted even tho if we had a lust
we need a buff
look at monk and DH
just promotes more diversity
they dont have lust / raid buff
but they do something for raid
DH 5% magic dmg debuff
or monk physical buff
maybe with something like that
tbh they should delete the shaman buff
that gives you chance to attack another time
its not really a shaman buff tho
(atleast for ele and resto)
rogue could have it
GOOD ENDING

im seing mostly 14+ hybrid build mostly on raiderio.
Pending
would love to see what are peoples opinion on higher keys either bleed or hybrid.
generally until like 16 bleed is the choice in here
i doubt it if u going to ToP
credits to tobfon for helping me out, Zeross TC arc inc??
for me top14 was really good with bleed
will keep you guys updated
but surely top feels like a dungeon that you cxan go hybrid a bit earlier
zeross what is your opinion for TOP 15?
in 14?
I recently returned to playing Assa, what stat do I use now? Can you help me? Thank you very much.

Is there m+ build that uses Iron Wire ?
Can someone tell me, what is the reason why people prefer to play hybrid instead of bleeds in high keys?
how does fan of knifes work sometimes it gives more sometimes less
Familiarity?
It is crit based, kinda cringe tbh
1 cp then one extra with each crit per target
i see
From seal fate
Wtb the rotten on sin
Clear the Witnesses also generates one with mark
Anyone in the know if how much of a nerf dk is getting?
Iirc only a small nerf
A couple percent type deal
so what i want to know so i wont be bothering people here, the higher it goes (key wise), would that be more ST dependent or not. or we always but always absolutely always do dungeon slice. ? if not when do we use patchwerk if ever when doing sims. I want to know what the logic is behind people in here, so i can get a clear path
1.6% buff in ST
3% nerf in m+
We always use dslice yes and it depends on what key level weโre talking about
15+
In 15s bleed is still fine afaik
Once you get to like 17+ is when the hybrid type builds get popular
thanks trickz
thanks, can you explain why hybrid is popular in high keys?
cuz bleeds sims better
Itโs just ST
nerf rogue and nerf everyone else aswell
I havethis feeling that is just ST
Bleed ST is great
since high keys bosses be having too much health, you want that extra ST on bosses
i would assume, dont take my word for it
As long as you get a DM at beginning of fight and DM in execute can use it until whatever key you want
I was actually about to ask when to go hybrid over bleed, interesting topic!
I was under the impression bleed was doing great ST too actually
Sims are one thing, the game is another thing
true, but bleeds look like good in ST too
Something can sim better but that isnโt taking into account the specific route or your comp
Personally in 16s bleed does more overall and more ST. Especially if you get a lust in execute like on swampface or last boss rookery
This is the Hubrind build and the one WITHOUT Kings bane is the bleed one yes ?
yes bleed is no kb
yeah but the hybrid that zeros play is better st , although it loses subterfuge, it pumps on bosses if that's what's needed in the group
thanks for ur replies
it does pretty good aoe with big spatters too
how does that talent tree look like?
you take the middle path like raid build and left like the pic above
gar only in st
thats what i read 2 days ago
you can garrote your main target in aoe iirc
but i haven't done much looking into the build so not 100% sure
he said he garrotes if you need energy from it but if the pack has enough ruptures for him to be full he doesnt spread
but he said he does spread with ic
the hybrid build is still 2 shiv ? or only one?
Where can I find the hybrid build vs bleed build and when is each appropriate?
You can read just 5min ago
most people will never need to fuck with the hybrid build
Oh score

What key level does it become prevalent do you think?
some 17s, 18s
I'm pretty sure I'm running the hybrid build rn ๐
I've been playing on my rogue about a week
the bleed build should be on wowhead
So i have no idea what I'm doing honestly
And the bleed build performs better below 17?
ye
Ty king
I'm gonna show the cooked af build I'm running r
No lmao
๐คฃ

Me last season in my 10โs
OKay so I'll see a damage up if i go bleed build since im doing 12-14s?
Probably yes
Depends how successfully youโre playing hybrid I guess
Bleed is easier and less dependent on your CDs
So not only is it generally โbetterโ itโs also just less work
So for most itโs just an obvious winner
Yeah hybrid is only better if the pulls last an enternity right?
Not really
Hybrid is better for bosses that last forever is I think the value
It just depends how much youโre able to leverage kingsbane tbh
Atleast last i checked hybrid simed slightly better in like 5 min aoe
But i guess bleed also might scale better with bigger pulls so what ends up being better in practice is kinda up in the air
5 minute aoe is just not realistic in any m+ scenario that Iโm aware of, thatโs why we sim dslice to get a hybrid of big pulls and a boss
It's equal-better in single target and aoe, equal-better prio, worse in low target cleave compared to hybrid. Yes the single target still sucks, that's just how the spec works
regarding bleed/hybrid from the pins
bleed has some nice talents for st (but not only) like blindside and zoldyk
Yeah I know but it still should show the general trend of hybrid being better if pulls are long enough
Like MA and subterfuge sim really really good in dslice because of short pulls and restealths
They sim well because they are good talents for the situations you will actually encounter in m+
But in a high enough key u get less and less value so u need to look at different pull lengths
Sustained patchwerk aoe is not a supported fight style
ohh really did not know that
i guess it kinda makes sense with all the reapplying bleeds and stuff
the rule set would have to be quite a bit more complex
Optimizations for 5min aoe directly clash with optimizations for dungeonslice
Like polar opposites in many cases
And I just couldnโt be fucked to make sure itโs playing properly when some bozo sims 7t 5min like a dumbass
Doesnโt make any logical sense for how the game is played
Yea itโs just pointless to know whatโs best in a situation you will literally never run into
No true but like 2 min or 1.5 min 8t might make sense
But might be alot of work for not much reward
Where do you stay on 7+ target for 2 whole minute wtf ?
Exactly lol
Yeah dosn't really happen no
Like I can MAYBE understand 30-45s but if weโre doing that then you can also just sim dungeonslice
in m+ u can with chain pulls and 2 vanish
Like i would rather 8 target 1 min to simulate a big pull i guess
more tha 7+ for 2 minutes
7 continuous targer for 2 minute without ever going down ?
but the point was not really the specfic fight length more so the general concept of pull lengths not all being what we see in dslice
Even then man, mobs just have different hp pools and some die sooner some live long, idk what that kind of sim would ever help
even if you add after , the sim is already fucked
But Yknow
yes, psf at start for example but depends heavily on tanks route
People always sim weird shit
And come up with some gain
That doesnโt exist in reality

Iโm working on getting support back for sustained aoe at some point down the line but itโs gonna require a really big overhaul to the entire APL, which also should help improve more advanced things like dungeonroutes and boss vuln phases/immunities
Itโs justโฆ a lot of fucking work
Yeah can imagine it is a nice feature to have tho
Even then i don't think it's 120s of fighting, usualy you're left with the miniboss and maybe 2-3 target after 45 sec i think ? but maybe i've not gone high enough
How long are the pulls in dslice even?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
dslice is iirc ~5min of combat with different target counts and a ST boss fight
after 1st boss u can do that too
in the room
But you're not, man i don't think you understand, in that situation you start with many , quickly go to 3-6 mob and maybe relink ? but it's not continuous 7 mob that don't die for 2 whole minute. the whole point of the argument is the relevance of going 8 target 2 min sim. i don't see a situation in M+ where that happen
Itโs just none of this patch was imaginable in Dragonflight tbh, I rewrote the entire APL from scratch for the amirdrassil rework but I couldnโt have foreseen the fact that we have like 25 m+ builds and people going back to comparing them on very specific fight styles, like I had one guy simming 4t 3min to compare theatre of pain, which as misguided as it is, properly shouldnโt explode, or people simming 5t to test on dummies and shit
Like that just simply wasnโt on my radar because that wasnโt the direction we were going
And if sims are going to get more intelligent, not just about what buttons theyโre pressing, but also what theyโre fighting
Thatโs gonna need another full rewrite tbh
Man that's sound like a nightmare, hope you can manage :p
i will read it in a bit im in a key
No worry man, GL, but i see what you're trying to say, it's just that i don't see it that way but meh maybe i'm in the wrong
It is a nightmare, but itโs worse than that cause many many many times youโll find an optimization running 5min aoe, and itโs like +3% on 6-8 target, neutral on 1-5, and youโll go โoh wow great, thatโs just improvement!โ
Do the same sim in dungeonslice
And itโs literally -4%
Not 0.4, a full 4%
The apl can use remaining fight duration tho right?
Honestly all of that goes right above my head, I'm just not good with math and just can't fathom haw y'all create that kind of tool for us to use. So i'm just grateful but seeing from the outside i'm already wincing, so i can't imagine for the guys doing it
It can yeah
a lot of trial and error and a few heads making contact with keyboards
Itโs less about the sim being able to take fight duration and mob duration into account
Cause it can, and it does
Itโs more that like, when you have things living for that long the optimizations are just entirely different
Itโs like an entirely different rotation to balance if you have to do sustained aoe without vanish/stealths
theres also just the factor of, 'is this really the optimization, or does it result in a gain on this sim for a different reason?' like something showing as a gain because it just so happens to push your cooldowns into a bigger aoe pack
Yeah okay so it is more so the number of combinations of fight duration and mob count?
That might all need a different apl
Yeah it is massive
And like optimizing all of it for single target isnโt bad, optimizing all of it for sustained aoe isnโt bad, optimizing it for dungeonslice isnโt bad
On their own itโs all fine
But right now the apl is one generalized list for all situations
And that just doesnโt work anymore for whatโs being demanded of it
So I need to split it up into sub lists and only trigger X list in dungeonslice for example
Yeah and then bliz posts a rework or something lul
different APL depending on the situation. sheesh
I doubt this spec sees much of a rework
Yeah they will wait until he has finished work on spliting the apl up
Well the thing is that splitting it up like that sounds like more effort to maintain
But itโs actually easier at the same time if you think about it
Like if they buff crimson tempest again or nerf caustic or whatever
I donโt need to both with any single target logic
I can focus entirely on aoe lines, and optimize just for those situations that theyโre getting called in
So tweaking each line becomes much quicker
Yeah true I guess the workload is mostly migrating it over
Versus right now if something changes, a change to one or two lines can ripple into everything
So I have to do like extensive cross-testing
Change one line and then double check that it didnโt break on any of the 14 profiles I have saved off
In no less than 9 or 10 fight styles

And if it does then itโs back to the drawing board
you werent kidding
Ohh well thanks for the info about sustained aoe not being supported
Mage sent me to Ancient Dal
im on the ptr and hekili thingy is just telling me to spam poison knife
Makes much more sense why i was seeing stuff in sims that did not make sense to me
you are days behind
Had the Test Pilot cloak, can't put a Glider on it
ye sorry for not keeping on this disc 24/7
you're forgiven
Now I'll get it in Vault
The logic is inverted, instead of poison knife on targets NOT in melee, the tool thinks it should poison knife on targets in melee
Minor spelling mistake 
idk to me 7 mob constantly if there are chain pulls doesnt seem so unbelievable, 120 seconds isnt a lot of time
Thatโs also not what sustained aoe sims model
The same 7 targets for 2 minutes is totally unrealistic
Chain pulls are an entirely different problem with its own set of logic that needs to be added
same 7 target is unrealistic but if u have 2 vanish and there are chain pulls isnt it the same as 7 targets constantly?
No
The dots are on targets
Thereโs nothing dying in sustained aoe sims
so u need to redo bleeds and shi when chaining
They donโt die staggered
Would you say I should use HoC/ISP for pretty much anything aside from the last three in LoU?
There are no new mobs
ye i see what u mean, it would sim more damage anyway with chain pulls than same 7 targets for 2 minutes
because before the first 7 targets die u have bleeds on the new 7 targets with vaniosh and chain pull
Yeah unless youโre raiding last 3 mythic, eok doesnโt beat isp
Is there a way to simulate a bick pack pull burst ? 10 target 45s/1min ? or is the APL not reliable on that ?
I havenโt looked at that, Iโd think based on the logic I have memorized that it would just spam bleeds for the most part
Same ilvl?
So I donโt think it would be all that good
Ye
It just spams bleeds like Whispyr said
Starts doing more envenom chains towards the end
Okay because my ISP is 665 and my EoK is 645
NA being ddosed rn?
Then definitely never eok
645 EoK
658 Amp
665 Remnant
665 Pacemaker
665 HoC

Oh yeah, and a 665 Signet
what's eok
Eye of kezan
oh
well
Brother
What compelled you to do this
why is +13 ML impossible pug content man wtf
kezan is 658 so gonna get hero track i think
In giga pulls do I just wanna send vanish to apply dots to as many mobs as possible?
๐ค
i just use a myth signet and a heroic amp
they're there only because im lazy to vendor them
there's like huge void in my backpack that i sell items from
I hold onto trinkets, JUST IN CASE
I still keep things from time to time
and everything near the edges is pretty much sitting there for a long time
Thereโs a certain io curve in LFG that if you stay behind, the player pool is atrocious. Also usually the most toxic and blame everyone else
peforator is like not on the loot table right
What if one of the trinkets gets buffed?
i still have my 639 skardyn from last season in my bag as a trophy
xD
I also have three bracers, I just haven't simmed them
i think one of my alts got like 20 items from previous seasons so that's just pure laziness
something like seal of diurna
Check out my unhinged Warbound bank
main's inv looks like that
fucking small indie company
i get dc right after getting in game
That your regular bank?
that's my main char backpack
ngl i rarely ever use bank
same
its just there part of the game
only to toss gold between toons
and sometimes to save some warbound gear for my warrior hoping that one day RL will let me play it in raid
pretty organized i'd say
are we just some poor MF only using rank 2 Tempered potions? lfg i thought i was the only cheapscake
I could probably clean this up
I'm poor
anyone knows if we keeping bfa vision points into this new week?
i got ~200k in bank but saving it for crafts on alts
i got like 6k
Rank 2 if I am doing keys (I will press on the first pull and then forget the rest of the dungeon)
Coalescing Visions?
ya
i got all that
even the whole talent tree unlocked
wondering if we keeping our progress

the ones used for the horrific visions
They'll have a new currency
idk if those are it
idk
The only currency I see that references Horrific Visions
I have a bunch on alts, so I doubt this is it, and if it is then no way they let us keep it for the new round
It's just being accurate 
with the bleed build how many dots should you get out before going into spatter spam
Also I realized if EoK isn't that great and I have a Myth track ring then I don't have to worry about filling the Raid row of Vault
lmao, can it be bug with logging with raider.io tho?
I mean youโre keeping it, but youโre not going to be able to use it on the new visions
They never let you use old currency on new additions
Cause whatโs the point of that
true true, might as well just reset it? whats the point of having them if we cant use it
like season 1 sparks xD
i mean mogs i guess
Is there something I could spend it on? I don't remember
i know embellishments are very minor, but my sims are saying double focusing lens is a bit better than what i have now. is it more of a sub embellishment? i think most of the people running it on like OAB are just sub swappers for the fight or something
how much is a bit
not enough to justify swapping but i'm bored and like wasting my gold on recrafts
play the game your way
you can have more leeching poison
PSF?
priory of the sacred flame
Ah, you seek the Signet
nope
I NEED RESILLLLL
GIV ME MY RESIL ๐ญ

i got signet before switching to assa
I'll switch your assa
One heal
to what?

outlaw?
