Thank GOD they’re moving forward with it

I’d rather they bring back azerite traits and the heart of Azeroth than this shit

Lol

gusty mirage

#

So they used Warcraft logs to determine the buffs needed

gusty mirage

Good buff

#

quick question to get a bit of an overview on the builds. This is high level overview, I know that in-depth, things are "much more complex and complicated":

  1. "single target build" bad for most content, given that LoU has a bit of cleave on almost all bosses?
  2. hence just stick with Raid cleave for comfort?
  3. Hybrid good for M+ where mobs survive a bit longer and maybe some encounters? And maybe delves?
  4. bleed for styling on noobs when running HC dungeons?

In m+

#

yee

#

Worse things in life

#

But they lied !

gusty mirage
spice surge
#

But them doing those bugfixes has to be why sub didnt get a buff

midnight mist
#

Uh

#

I doubt or

gusty mirage
#

Which is even worse because at this point in the tier parses are heavily skewed due to people face rolling the content

gusty mirage
#

Sure you’re 2nd to worst but at least you’re not the worst!

u literally do infinite st

golden loom
#

if u are doing 13s play bleed

vast shuttle
#

what is st

winged sun
#

well depends on how good u are, no offense

coral ibex
#

single target

winged sun
#

99.9% of the players should play bleed build

coral ibex
#

dont play this build

#

just play bleed

winged sun
#

5m overall in a +12

coral ibex
#

if you arent doing rank 1 keys it is BAD

winged sun
#

but gl playing it well

#

its rly hard

coral ibex
#

it is a BAD BUILD for anyone other than rank 1 pushers

vast shuttle

wait zeross

arent u a top rogue?

ITS FINE GUYS we're raiding 4 days this week i think

to kill last 2 bosses

zeross gonna try ur build

swift bluff
#

Okay well you better

#

Just get all the gear

winged sun
#

i dont recommend my build unless u understand how assa works

swift bluff
#

Cloth, plate

#

All of it

winged sun
#

you'd do way more on bleed build

#

bleed is more overall than that but it does rly good aoe and infinite st

#

they both sim about the same at 10 targets ish

iron carbon
#

You can also play the "classic" season 1 build

winged sun
#

and that hybrid build does way more uncapped dps

#

which is what u want in higher keys

hot nexus
#

one day you’ll find a nice girl who will get on her knee and give you a mythic jastor’s @winged sun dw

winged sun
#

cuz most our pulls are above 10 mobs all the time

Bleed build ST is just a tragedy though

#

Also @winged sun are you playing for sanguine blades on bosses? I watch your vods and it seem like you don’t care about it but wanted to ask

coral ibex
#

how did i do 150m more envenom damage than the other rogue

spice surge
#

No sanguine is an aoe talent

coral ibex
spice surge
#

Its actively bad to have it proc on ST

spice spire
#

If you’re playing hybrid build you actually care about your envenom uptime

inland dirge
paper tapir
#

Thanks bruh

spice spire
#

So less envenom = bad

fallow canopy

#

@winged sun how tf u play with this

#

i was so dog

will fix apl more

it will sim alot more im sure

also crimson is softcapped at 5

not 8

fallow canopy
#

Someone didn't read the latest whispyr wowhead article

winged sun
#

but ye i expect this build to do more

fallow canopy
winged sun
#

at higher target counts

#

it does feel like it too on details

#

i did 30m dps first pull cinderbrew with it

#

i dont expect bleed to do that much?

inland dirge
winged sun
#

30-32

spice surge
#

Thats the entire reason why bleed started simming well

winged sun
#

i tried bleedd build many times i could never pull off that number even when spreading garrotes+ruptures on different targets

#

to maximize the 3 targets

hot nexus
winged sun
#

highest variance is also 18m

#

on 10 targets

hot nexus
#

so you burst before a lot of the small hp mobs die

winged sun
#

i dont expect crimson tempest to do 12m more dps

#

on 10 more mobs

#

would be unrealistic

silk sundial
#

Do you use your charged combo points on envenom or ct in a aoe pull @winged sun

winged sun
#

but spatter does

winged sun
#

if u want highest overall dps that is

#

unless lingering darkness is up

#

then u can use it abit higher target counts kinda

lean plover
#

arent patchwerk aoe sims unsupported?

#

I think whispyr said somethint like that

winged sun
#

sort of

#

the double shiv i have support for it but i dont think its in the apl atm

#

kinda fixing it over the next few days

silk sundial
#

Would a 9cp CT not be worth it in say, an 8 target pull because of the 1 shiv gcd?

golden loom
#

well difference between a 5 cp and a 9cp CT is just duration

winged sun
#

i would shiv a CT if like

#

u want a longer duration CT on the boss

#

and those addds will die soon

#

it is a REALLY big funnel'ed supercharged CT

coral ibex
#

without ap shiving the CT doesn't really add damage

winged sun
#

ye just duration

#

will have to get tobfon's help abit on other minmaxes i wanna add

golden loom
#

like if u are running the giga low key build, bleed with supercharger u would shiv + CT to get GIGA demise but thats not really the thing here

winged sun
#

drop vigor for extra sudden demise dmg 5Head

golden loom
#

exactly

undone flame
#

i tryed one of the ui wa and so mad at myself for not doring that sooner XD

wise plume
#

Are we all just back to hybrid gaming?

winged sun
#

u can prob do a crazy sudden demise hit with superchargeer

#

best i did was 40m like 4-5 weeks ago

#

maybe longer i forgot when i last played it

undone flame
#

hm why we back on hybrid all of a sudden

swift bluff
#

Because Zeross is cheating

winged sun
#

Because Zeross is cheating

golden loom
#

cause zeross is playing a different game compared to 100% of the playerbase

swift bluff
#

Scroll up and you can see some screenshots of his pumps

winged sun
#

but idk isn't that decent for a low key or

#

its a +12

golden loom
#

physical god comp sheeesh

winged sun
#

and darkflame is like

#

one of the worst keys

#

for this build

swift bluff
#

Yea, plus single targets over 2.2m

celest crescent
#

did you guys try Mega Magnet on assa (2x on use) over pacemaker? i will probably take a socket, but just curious if its not annoying to click it

winged sun
#

idk

#

i think this build might be better everywhere tbh

golden loom
#

was that just a random pug or playing with ppl u know?

winged sun
#

u just need to play it well

swift bluff
#

Meanwhile I’m hard stuck at 1.4-1.8m on Bleed. I’m far from perfect but damn

winged sun
#

its very hard to play imo

#

because u have no time to spread ur bleeds

winged sun
#

u have to really think of every gcd u press

coral ibex
#

ive been using a 678 magnet for a month since it dropped off stix

golden loom
#

cause I think if I just join a random pug +12 with that build atm I would quit the game

winged sun
#

we even had to kill

#

1 mob solo

#

then

#

another mob solo

#

cuz tank forgot %

golden loom
#

built diff

coral ibex
#

mega magnet sims basically equal to pacemaker for me

winged sun
#

the sudden demise dmg is there too

#

its not bad

#

spatter dmg is insanely huge

#

and envenoms

golden loom
#

but I think for low keys it can never be worth the effort tho you know

celest crescent
winged sun
#

ye i mean if u care about minmaxing alot you'd be doing higher keys anyway

swift bluff
#

Backing up tho, like we all wanna pump. But also at the same time, Zeross is pushing the tippy top of keys. Doesn’t always just translate that we do same in the lower bracket range

wise plume
#

i wanna try that build, but also dont want to brick a key lmao

winged sun
#

if ur bricking a +10 key idk what to tell you brotherman

golden loom
#

I dont even think its possible this season

winged sun
#

like

swift bluff
#

Yea give it a shot. Maybe even mention to party after they start key lol

winged sun
#

they are simming about the same atm

#

ngl

#

bleed only sims better at 3-8 target range

#

ish

silk sundial
#

I mean, its not that different from 11.0 hybrid? Back then we didn't take subt or ma. You just move a few points like IG, go dashing etc

swift bluff
#

I mean at the end of the day, boss damage matters as the keys go higher

winged sun
spice surge
#

We are at the part of the m+ cycle where we only care about ST

loud hearth
winged sun
#

it does sim very high atm

#

will post later when im done with the apl kinda holding atm

#

kinda busy

#

@midnight mist

#

btw zac

swift bluff
#

Oh boy

#

Here we go go

winged sun
#

i tried fixing the double shiv in sims but idk

#

it still keeps double shiving

#

in a row

#

like i can see it in the gcds still

#

i wonder if double shiving is good because of supercharger but that doesnt make sense Zerossthinking

spice surge
#

Why wouldnt that make sense

#

Ofc you would want supercharger during deathmark

winged sun
#

double shiving back to back sounds extremely cooked

real pike
#

ok classic tedious vault question - do I take the socket that sims slightly higher or the mythic cloak (currently have crafted) that's an upgrade but lower than socket

#

cause socket is there every week but who knows when I'll see a cloak again

golden loom
#

who knows maybe u take sprocket cloak with dinar

hidden crown
#

question is Iron Wire worth taking?

celest crescent
#

if you have a good base for it, take a socket

hidden crown
real pike
golden loom
#

well we have 3 dinars

spice surge
real pike
celest crescent
spice surge
#

For pugging i would recommend it, youre more likely deplete due to kicks going through than on time

real pike
spice surge
#

You get 1 every week, and every item costs 3

#

First week you get 3 instead of 1

hidden crown
#

mostly asking to make detonate at the start of mechagon dungeon easier

real pike
#

yeah so realistically by the time I get a second we might be done with the tier

hidden crown
#

but unsure what to sacrifice

real pike
#

deffo third

coral ibex
#

thats tough man are people just not kicking or stopping at all

spice surge
real pike
#

ffs it's socket isn't it

#

I know the real answer is those numbers are so small it doesn't fucking matter

#

but I can't live with my vault having no meaning 🥲

coral ibex
#

just take the cloak

gusty mirage
golden loom
#

I mean my choice today was either a socket or just taking another myth track chestpiece that had indestructible

real pike
#

yeah you guys are right

#

also the cloak has speed

#

so fuck it I'm cloaking up

coral ibex
#

fuck you

#

i still have no terts

gusty mirage
#

Cloak probably worth the margin loss because more health

coral ibex
gusty mirage

You have +100 of my love on every slot

#

Anyone know this yet? When dinars go live, I’ve full cleared H on my rogue, but haven’t even entered on Paladin. Is the Paladin able to access the hero track raid gear? Basically, is that accessibility account wide?

analog field
#

probably not , but not sure

spice surge
#

It shouldnt be account wide no

west crown
#

But iirc they said hero isn’t locked behind completion

jaunty lotus
#

Hey whispyr, was that post about the one button just the rotation or rotation plus GCD penalty?

spice surge
#

But afaik you can buy the heroic ones without any pre-requisites

analog field
#

I thought clearing the normal one no ?

coral ibex
#

dont you have to kill some raid bosses tho

analog field
#

but still easy to do

coral ibex
#

like you dont have to kill a specific boss but i think you need to kill 4 bosses on like

spice surge
#

Ye you have to kill the bosses, but you can do that on normal or lfr

coral ibex
#

LFR or normal

west crown
#

Well you have to kill the bosses to get the chips regardless

spice surge
west crown
#

Oh true they just changed it. Forgor

swift bluff
#

Yea I think they just meant easier effort. If you needed the chips and boss kills, two birds

spice surge
#

For sure

swift bluff
#

My Paladin has resilient but haven’t raided so I just wanted to see if I should try to pug hero this week lol. I basically just wanted the damn Tome

wise plume
#

hero is easy

west crown
#

Going to get even easier next reset with gear

swift bluff
#

So might just ignore raid idk. Time is the factor. Twin pups. Dad life setting in

coral ibex
#

wait you dont need to kill any raid bosses at all to get the raid items?

#

you can kill m+ bosses to get hero raid items?

spice surge
#

If you have killed gally on normal or lfr you can buy the hero ring

west crown
#

I think m+ gives you chips and 12 resil gives you access to m+ items

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

coral ibex
#

i thought the whole point of the emplusser complaint was "i have no time for raid i only have time for m+"

analog field
#

one of the points also was the gear, cause everyone wants seaforium and signet

coral ibex
#

surely the people who can't time 12's yet are the ones who would actually "need" the free gear the most

analog field
#

ofc but let's be real some gear should be gatekeeped, like jastor mythic yeah i want it but i should have killed gally firstly

ruby birch
#

Why do they need the free gear

coral ibex
#

for sure, i dont think they should get anything tbh

inland dirge
#

there are certainly a mix of valid and not so valid reasons for the complaints

ruby birch
#

Just get gear by clearing content

#

Dinar should be blp

#

Not free gear

coral ibex
#

if the dinar was bad luck protection it would require multiple weeks of killing the same boss to unlock the loot

ruby birch
#

Well no

#

Because vault

ebon glen
#

Not really

inland dirge
#

a lot of people seem to have made the false assumption that dinar = free mythic loot despite this not being a fated season idk

coral ibex
#

as it stands i'm gonna kill oab this week and then just redeem my HOC next week

ebon glen
#

vault is rng

coral ibex
#

that isn't bad luck protection

#

that's just free loot for 1 kill

#

"i didnt get the drop after 1 kill" isn't bad luck

inland dirge
#

it’s definitely not bad luck protection for one kill no

#

I do think they missed the mark

coral ibex
#

it would have made more sense to have it on the raid renown track

#

if at all

inland dirge
#

would be nice if higher keys had some system for loot, though I’m not sure what that would look like

ebon glen
#

I mean, after 1 kill applies to some people, sure but not everyone. Same with M+ dinars and vault luck.

coral ibex
#

i mean if you are relcearing the full raid rn without the free loot, do you need it

#

are guilds reclearing up to mugzee during prog?

inland dirge
#

not for farm but definitely for prog next tier right

coral ibex
#

surely you extend at that point

ruby birch
#

The thing is, it still serves as blp

ebon glen
#

Some people feel that they do, and with that arguement why do you care if they give "free loot" to anyone at all? Lol it doesn't affect you 1 bit other than you also get "free loot" so be happy.

ruby birch
#

That’s its purpose

coral ibex
ebon glen
#

Race to world first is over, season is likely half way or more than half over, really doesn't matter at all at this point. Just lets ppl try shit they want to try and haven't had the luck to get yet.

coral ibex
#

do the people for whom the season is not over and prog is still in full swing not matter? why is the assumption that everyone would just want to receive free loot to accelerate their time in the raid

ruby birch
#

I think a lot of the fun is stripped from WoW when you play retail because the loot is so terrible. Everyone goes for the same rings and trinkets and it’s all concentrated one one or two bosses that barely drop any loot to begin with

humble verge
#

HOLY ring made me bonkers today :DDD

ruby birch
#

Dinars are a bandaid solution

coral ibex
#

like why even have hall of fame

#

you didnt win RWF

#

who cares

ruby birch
#

Well there’s a distinction there lol

coral ibex
#

just give out free loot after RWF

ruby birch
#

Not every guild has 20 hours a day to play

inland dirge
#

loot isn’t real and can’t hurt me

#

alalala

coral ibex
#

you can make the same argument at every level

ruby birch
#

But there still should be an achievement for higher performing guilds

coral ibex
#

why?

#

you didn't kill it first

ruby birch
#

Because that distinguishes them

#

A 9 hour guild that’s still on sprocket for example isn’t as good as one that cleared no?

coral ibex
#

you think WR10 and WR500 are remotely similar in achievement?

#

both are in HOF no?

ruby birch
#

No but wr500 isn’t in hof

coral ibex
#

ok whatever the cutoff for HOF is

#

500 was off the cuff

ruby birch
#

But you can’t just make a random argument

ebon glen
#

you're cooked lmao. you take 1 thing and make it extreme. people went half the season not getting specific items they want to try out, haven't gotten yet through bad luck or whatever it may be, now is a fair enough time to dish out some bad luck protection to people. Dont really see an issue with that. Specially since they have already been doing something similar the last 2 or so xpacs anyways.Not like it's a new concept. Would maybe be different if this was the first time it's happened

ruby birch
#

Not knowing the cutoff

wise plume
#

huh

ruby birch
#

Hof was originally the top 100 guilds in the world (faction dependent)

#

So often alliance hof was mocked

coral ibex
#

i dont think there's any argument that guilds who get HOF early are significantly better than guilds who get hof in the last day of the last reset right

ruby birch
#

They merged and increased it to 250 I believe

inland dirge
coral ibex
#

they were

inland dirge
#

big difference then

coral ibex
#

you got free loot because raids rotated weekly

#

and the season didnt matter

ebon glen
#

Sure, but the system itself is relatively the same.

coral ibex
#

it isn't tho

#

there's 1 raid and it isn't a fated season

inland dirge
#

it’s inherently different

coral ibex
#

i think there's an argument to be made that if you really want to see the best players in HOF then you should actually just give out full loot after RWF and see who the actually most skilled players are, since surely they are who will kill the boss quickest no?

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.
ebon glen
#

lmao ok, you wanna be so technical for no reason. Sure, obviously I get it's fated vs not fated, but the idea of free loot is the same in either case. And it makes majority of the player base happy and keeps them playing or trying new builds/specs/classes bcuz of it.

coral ibex
#

technical for no reason when the reason matters

#

ok

wise plume
ruby birch
#

In truth

#

Hof is mainly just guilds who raid a LOT

coral ibex
#

no, hof is also mostly a skill check

ruby birch
#

Some guilds just don’t deserve it

#

It really isn’t

inland dirge
ruby birch
#

It was a comp check and time check this tier

inland dirge
#

yes and no

haughty flicker
#

obviously it still takes a lot of skill, but there is a significant advantage to just being able to raid more days than other guilds

ruby birch
#

Raiding 2x as much outweighs any skill gaps at some point

inland dirge
#

I’ve certainly never engaged in egregious levels of OT for HoF, how dare you!

brb need to make logs private

haughty flicker
#

ethical gaming

ruby birch
#

I’d like to pretend like hof is a measure of skill

#

But for like 70% at least of the guilds in there

#

It’s just raiding a lot

coral ibex
#

you dont get to the point of going for OT to get HOF without already being good enough to be in the position to potentially get HOF with OT

#

theres a minimum of skill required

#

i dont think yall are being honest about how high it is

ruby birch
#

Yes there’s a minimum

#

But I guarantee you

Anyone got a good omnicd profile?

#

Anyone got the Fan of knives command ? to know when to and not to use FoK ?

#

!Fok

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

even if you quickly spam it twice, if its on the same GCD, it shouldnt get a 2nd shiv out

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

/cast Shiv

Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

You don't need to play KB for 13 keys, I pugged 15s just doing bleed build cause trash gets deleted and speeds the dungeon up

i see

#

its only for +15 onwards?

winged sun
#

probably 6 only with IC

coral ibex
#

its for rank 1 keys

#

if you arent doing rank 1 keys

#

dont think about it

#

its that easy

#

just play bleed build

winged sun
#

its simming the same as bleed build for me

#

bleed build only sims higher at lower target counts

real pike
#

so I just had 2 Mugzee pulls, both to the same % with 100k dps difference between them. Is that natural variance or did I do something different/wrong/right?

coral ibex
#

blindside procs, seal fate procs, etc

winged sun
#

and bleed build technically oversims and undersims because it places garrotes and ruptures on non bleeded mobs

#

so it always gets 3

#

and sudden demise doesnt count in logs so u can take that too xdd

coral ibex
#

"oversims and undersims"

winged sun
#

well 2 different things

coral ibex
#

brother is the number too high or too low

winged sun

so yea

#

wouldn't say high for a 15 or above

sage basin
#

lots of people just fuck up their KB windows too though, bleed build just easier for most people that aren't used to key pushing and playing KB

but u have to play the hybrid shiv build perfect

to do good dmg
