id say as a noob sin I need to be aware of:

  1. applying stalker
  2. get full cp envenom if darkest night active
  3. use crimson in single target if bleed build
  4. make sure I mut or ambush after rupture to activate caustic.

Do i just vanish on cd in single target for imp garrote?

Want to add any notes for me?

#

i think i need to stack nameplates now too so I can see the bleeds under them

#

it was nice hitting 3mil single target with deathmark. As outlaw thats only possible with multiple proc of bte and not reliable single target dmg.

#

which makes sense that everytime sin cd is up it will do consistent numbers yummy. Its nice not playing an rng rotation in this way for sure.

worn geyser
#

honestly if u go check out the rotation priority sections in the wowhead guide for aoe and st respectively that will give u way better info than most of us can explain in a digestible way, whispyr typed it out very well

thin portal
#

yeah im reading it

#

right now

i was back and forth referencing it between keys for many keys with all the little quirks

go at your own pace and spend some time on training dummies

some people pick it up faster than others or go brick some keys if that's how you learn

I haven’t gotten out yet

#

It rained for like 13 days straight and then it was Mother’s Day the one nice day

proud pelican
#

Went out the day before Mother’s Day in the pouring rain garf

runic hinge
#

Yeah it rained over an inch I don’t think they even woulda let me out. Some coursed for Mother’s Day too

proud pelican
#

We’ve gotten an outlandish amount of rain in the past month it’s not very cash money flow

#

As the kids say

runic hinge
#

Yeah same

proud pelican
#

Can’t golf Madge

runic hinge
#

Idk if it’s worth going out until we got a solid week of sunshine

#

Wait are you a lobsterman

proud pelican
#

On the side

#

But ye

#

Do you live in Maine

proud pelican
#

No MA

runic hinge

Ahh

This is where I insult mass lobster

who pinged me here

wait no one did nvm

Not me zeross

#

Do cleaves like Caustic Splatter do more damage to secondary targets if my main target is below 35%?

polar rampart
#

its everywhere bro, you just gotta know where to look

proud pelican
#

@balmy condor please confirm that I am not a bozo

broken coyote
#

With the increased ilvl happening, is circlet still going to be bis moving forward? or is a good myth and maybe crafted ring going to replace?

balmy condor
balmy condor
buoyant herald
#

You’ll replace circlet with new ilvl stuff, maybe even a bit before max

balmy condor
#

so things like zoldyck, no worky

#

mobs that take increased damage, like first boss floodgate? no worky

#

amplifying poison? worky! cause reasons I guess

#

amplifying poison isn't a target takes more from envenom

proud pelican
balmy condor
#

it's a envenvom "consumes" the stacks to deal more damage

#

so you the player are dealing more damage

#

so you also cleave more

#

same thing applies to shiv

#

the target is taking more damage because of shiv, so you don't cleave more if your main target has shiv

#

if your offtarget has shiv, they are taking more damage, thus taking more from caustic

#

but target-modifiers are calculated post caustic

proud pelican
#

Oh true I knew the shiv thing I guess that makes sense that it’s basically the same with zoldyk

haughty flicker
#

L bozo

proud pelican
#

I didn’t know the amp poison thing tho

#

Was a player amp

#

Look at me learning n sheit

worthy rose
#

i aint gonna lie

#

using whispyr's weakauras

#

i increased my dps by like 1mil

#

overall for mythics

#

coz i dont let bleeds fall off anymore LOL

#

having shit track bleeds and other shit is pretty pog

balmy condor
#

cause it's a debuff that gets consumed for a buff

#

but the buff isn't a buff

#

it's just instant envenom damage

proud pelican
#

Zoldyk isn’t anything tho

#

Just exists

balmy condor
#

yah but it's a target mod kekW

#

ain't rogue fun

proud pelican
runic hinge
#

Ain’t it fun ain’t it fun

#

Now you’re one of us

proud pelican
#

Ngl I was pretty sure I was shitting on mobs by spattering execute target

balmy condor
#

and was like "how the fuck is my highest caustic bigger than my highest envenom"

#

didn't realize the drones take increased damage

#

also makes tracking down bugs very difficult

#

cause there's so much spaghetti

proud pelican
runic hinge
#

Okay I’ll listen to paramore

buoyant herald
#

Still not worth hard swapping though right

nimble tartan
#

chat are we all buying jastors

worthy rose
#

i am

#

nothing else for me to get

#
  1. heroic jastor ring
  2. heroic hoc for sub probably
  3. heroic kezan for the memes
buoyant herald
#

Myth pacemaker
Heroic jastor
??? Mugzee fist for outlaw probably

worthy rose
#

you dont have a mythic seaforium and signet?

#

those would prob be your priorities then

#

oh the capo fist?

#

hmm

buoyant herald
#

Only myth signet, I know it’s embarrassing not to have pulled my 2 bis trinkets from
a pool of 100 items in 8 weeks but yeah I’m trying to be better

proud pelican
#

You could use dinar on myth buzzy bee trinket

nimble tartan
#

i have mythic signet but i think ima go jastor and then seaforium mythic

buoyant herald
#

You could coat yourself in tar and set yourself on fire too

nimble tartan
#

cause eye of kezan kinda doodoo

#

all the fights are shortish now

proud pelican
#

Lmao noob

worthy rose
#

just unlucky

#

my irl friend i shit u not

#

has taken the tokens like 4 weeks i a row

#

a whole month wasted of vault drops LOL

#

and meanwhile

#

ont he othe rhand

proud pelican
#

I’m going myth go pack it’s a brave choice for real winners

worthy rose
#

i went signet --> mainhand dagger shadowskean --> seaforium --> mythic chest --> seaforium again but i took a mythic gloves

wise plume
#

ive yet to see any trinkets/rings in my vaults, only cloaks and boots

worthy rose
#

i crafted boots and cloak

#

and necklace

#

i just need mainpieces tbh

#

catalyst go brrr

#

how much is it to pay a mythic raiding guild for a mythic boss crary and a mainpiece token

#

probs a billion dollars

buoyant herald
#

Probably why I only get 50% parses

haughty flicker
#

he just like me fr

worthy rose
#

oh shit

#

actually

#

i killed some bosses on heroic raid this week

#

theres a nonzero chance i can get capo or hoc from vault as it is

worthy rose
wise plume
#

ive been trying to pug a gally kill for the last two hours and it is astounding how all common sense flies out the window with some of these ppl

worthy rose
#

the key to raiding is theres no need to be the best

#

just be a little baove average

#

and you can rat your way to achiveements and clears

#

it works every time

wise plume

#

mythic gally pug huge

#

buncha credit card swipers for aotc i swear

worthy rose
#

is heroic aotc that hard?

wise plume
#

no

worthy rose
#

me and my friend went into one and i just immediately roached it

wise plume
#

its honestly so easy, but seeing a full group of people w/ aotc run around cluelessly is insane

worthy rose
#

this has to be my funniest stat so far this season

#

the one time i went into the heroic raid

#

on gally

#

i immediately became a rat and died coz healer didnt get me at the start

#

they cleared the boss

#

immortalized as bottom 16% parse

#

tbh gally seems more like a healer and tank check than dps

#

you could do 1mil dps or 2mil dps or even 3mil and it wont matter if the mechanics dont get done

#

What's the overall dps loss for not being able to restealth in a key

#

Let's say for example cinderbrew

worthy rose
#

not being able to restealth at least a 25-30% dps loss imo but depends what kind of key youre in

mild coyote
#

Does this only effect assassination?

worthy rose
#

i think assassination suffers the most out of chainpull no restealthing

#

toying with outlaw and sub

#

but sub as a spec is in the shitter right now so youre taking a mad dps loss in general choosing sub

mild coyote
#

Just trying to figure out if it's worth the mental rework of not chain pulling as a tank for a rogue to restealth

#

For me*

worthy rose
#

i think it depends

#

coz you got other specs like hunters who need always 3 targets or something

balmy condor
worthy rose
#

its a balancing act between the people in your party

balmy condor
#

should basically never let the rogue restealth

worthy rose
#

surely more than that

spice surge
#

Nop

worthy rose
mild coyote
spice surge
#

Pulling when you already have bleeds up on other targets at like 30% is way better for time than killing them and letting the rogue restealth

mild coyote
#

Thanks for the free pass

#

Yeah like in my head when there's no casts left in a pack why shouldn't I pull more into a safe pack

spice surge
#

Like the main reason to stealth is to be able to spread bleeds, but if the mobs have a decent chunk of health left and you already have bleeds up no need really

#

So

worthy rose
#

the tanks ive met let the mobs go down to like 5%

#

and instead of killing and going

#

they THEN pull another mob

#

so its like what the fuck

#

maybe it sthe curse of the 10-12 region

ocean horizon
#

that is the worst kind of tank

worthy rose
#

exactly

#

hate with a passion

#

its why i picked up outlaw

#

and sub

#

trying out diff specs

ocean horizon
#

any tank that is a coward and chain pull pack to pack is a shitter

worthy rose
#

outlaw seems to be ok with that sort of pulling

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
  • Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
  • Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
worthy rose
#

but then you got the problem of dealing with KS

#

yeah

#

if they pull a new mob at like 30%
its worth vanishing

#

if you need to

humble verge
#

why did i say s1 twice

ocean horizon
#

ngl chain pulls is even less important now that arcane mage is meta

#

i’m a firm believer that dropping combat doesnt affect the numbers much but it fucks up my flow

#

which leads to me playing worse which leads to lower dps

#

maybe i’m just a troglodyte that can only manage multiple dots with indiscriminate carnage up but it is what it is

proud pelican
ionic crater
proud pelican
#

i dont have the raw numbers but i play both and outlaw feels a lot worse. getting the burst on opener with all the cdr makes a huge difference and keeps the momentum. maybe im just feelcrafting shrugeg

balmy condor
#

I haven't run the numbers for this season

#

but historically outlaw has suffered more from not getting restealths

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

so dinars, if you buy item it can't be upgraded right? like what ilvl with mythic trinkets be? gally ring with just be 665 without the extra +6 ilvl?

i mean they are not stacking

is there a rupture WA to let us know its on 5 targets

Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:

  1. If you have to ask, you should play bleed
  2. If you're not doing +17's or higher (or rookery), you should play bleed

Some general concepts as to why people play different things:

  • Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
  • Boss damage: The cleave/zeross build is mainly for boss damage. Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and the bosses would not be possible otherwise
  • Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal.
  • Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead until bigger AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage.

So I'm assuming the answer to my previous question is specific group dynamics and is focusing ST?

!carnage

prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

not sure if that can change

they turn purple for stalker

but no change for rupture

coral ibex

did you turn off the debuff tracking or something

grim jay

Because you dont need a change for rupture

coral ibex

i know whispyr's plater shows the debuff icon for rupture

Its just the necessary stuff

thin portal

yeah it shows rupture but my bars around stacking properly

#

I cant see which ones have rupture on them at certain angles

grim jay
#

Its not really important either tho

#

As long as you can see 5 of them

#

Odds are at the time of refreshing there arent more alive anyways

well i also dont like standing there doing nothing trying to look if they have a rupture

But why would you care

you can stand there looking pretty at least annytfWink

That sounds kinda weird.

But considering you are trying to play with mouseover, it might not be that surprising

just send it same target twice == 5 ruptures

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

#

you can just cleave them with carnage

thin portal
#

hmm

#

so we can rupture the same target and it applies to another at random?

sacred schooner
#

mouseover only worth on really big pack

#

it applies on one without it

sacred schooner
#

or tab like first pull in meadery etc

#

on normal 5-6 mob packs not worth it imho

thin portal
#

i see with carnage

sacred schooner
#

just send same target

verbal stirrup
#

why would you lose an extra rupture for no reason other than being lazy

hollow river
#

Because being lazy is fucking bis

#

And it’s a tiny optimization

verbal stirrup
#

if you like miss a mouseover or it causes you to miss a gcd sure

thin portal
#

what is lazy about mouseover

verbal stirrup
#

i didnt say mouseover was lazy

hollow river
#

That’s not what they’re saying

thin portal
#

its so convenient

grim jay
#

As said above

verbal stirrup
#

well, it does matter

grim jay
#

Its really 2 ways

hollow river
sacred schooner
#

its way too small

#

same like holding energy for tea to not auto proc

verbal stirrup
#

but the problem with the way people are wording this rn if someone comes in here with no context its not clear that its strictly better, but just takes more effort

hollow river
#

Casting rupture twice into 1 target gets you your 5 ruptures up

runic hinge
#

i mean

#

its right there

grim jay
verbal stirrup
#

i have no issue with that post

verbal stirrup
#

the dmg difference

#

between an extra bleed

#

and no extra bleed lol

grim jay
#

You kinda need to garf

runic hinge
#

is small, cause its just one bleed

hollow river
verbal stirrup
#

i love having people respond to me with things i never said

grim jay
verbal stirrup
#

its a tiny dmg increase that takes a tiny amount of effort

#

completely proportional

grim jay
#

Its sometimes equal, it can be worse or it can be better

subtle tundra
#

lick my ass

runic hinge
#

ok

verbal stirrup
grim jay
#

No

hollow river
sacred schooner
#

haha

grim jay
sacred schooner
coral ibex
#

gotta mouseover my ruptures or i wont time my weekly no leaver 10 key

hollow river
#

You can do your entire opener into your main target basically

#

Garrotes/ruptures, etc

thin portal
#

it would be nice if rupture turn hp bars red

verbal stirrup
#

although i wouldnt recommend for other reasons

grim jay
hollow river
verbal stirrup
#

people did this a lot with things like mark of the crane, moonfire, etc

sacred schooner
#

you can do that with plater

thin portal
#

then i can just mousover the non-red bars

subtle tundra
#

or just dont swap targets until youre used to the spec

hollow river
#

Think he’s already got DSM changing their color

#

And I assume spatter

subtle tundra
#

i wasnt swapping targets for a long while and i am used to the spec

grim jay
grim jay
subtle tundra
#

STOP YOU ARE NOT ZAQ

grim jay
hollow river
#

@thin portal do you not have a WA to show your amount of ruptures up?

subtle tundra
#

he probably does, he just doesnt know he do

sacred schooner
#

every pack usually has it

hollow river
#

You can also change player settings so they don’t stack on top of each other as bad

sacred schooner
#

since we need to track 5 stacks

hollow river
#

Or make the debuffs bigger

#

I’m not familiar with what the platers in here look like

sacred schooner
#

try whispyr one

thin portal
#

yes the WA tells me if i have 5 up

sacred schooner
#

good enough

hollow river
thin portal
#

but my problem is seeing it for mouseover but If carnage applies it on the same target can just ignore it

hollow river
#

Just meant for context of the discussion

#

I don’t tend to like the color changes on my plates

sacred schooner
#

🙂 problem with platter it does way too many nesting ( at least for me )hard to mouseover

verbal stirrup
#

to any amount u like

hollow river
#

When all the mobs are color coded based on what they do

verbal stirrup
#

yes

hollow river
#

You can adjust basically everything about plater

meager plank
#

!up

verbal stirrup
#

having colour just for 1 ability tracking

#

when its like ur prime resource

hollow river
#

Size, padding, layout, saturation etc

verbal stirrup
#

for mob types in big packs

#

all ur preference but

#

esp. if u play multiple toons a lot

#

just better to have colours for mob types

hollow river
#

I track DSM stacks and spatter as debuffs

#

Ye

verbal stirrup
#

people also dont blacklist any debuffs on their nameplates so they have like 18 random procs on their nameplates and thats why they want to push it to a colour script

#

usually if u sort out what ur tracking and its visually ok more than enough as a debuff still

hollow river
#

I see the value in it

#

I’m just already used to doing it all with debuffs

sacred schooner
#

i have wa for marks with lightsaber sound kekdog

hollow river
#

I always tweak my debuff tracking settings as well

#

To make them very visible

#

DSM stacks are very similar to unholy wound stacks now that I think about it

rain coral
#

hey guys any info so far which, rune is best for the assa to use on helmet?

sacred schooner
#

check pins 🙂

thin portal
#

guys i got a guildy to make plater

#

green for rupture

rain coral
#

which Pins?

thin portal
#

if no green, then it doesnt have rupture

#

omg

#

so easy now

hollow river
red schooner
sacred schooner
thin portal
#

i dont care about spatter

#

just bleed tracking

hollow river
#

Huh

sacred schooner
hollow river
#

Spatter is important man

thin portal
#

hmm

hollow river
#

I would make rupture turn bars a different color you’re not using

sacred schooner
#

spatter more important than missed rupture

hollow river
#

And set it to lower priority than your DSM/spatter colors

thin portal
#

i wasnt looking for spatter before

sacred schooner
#

and it is easier to miss as well

thin portal
#

what

#

is spatter the mutilate rupture target im guessing

hollow river
#

Yeah

sacred schooner
#

poisoned*

#

🙂

hollow river
#

You refresh it with a mutilate every so often

thin portal
#

yeah i dont need to track that I just stay on the same target and mouseover bleeds.

#

ez

hollow river
#

You have a WA for spatter then?

#

We only mutilate once to refresh spatter

subtle tundra
#

well personally i wouldnt care about showing spatter on plater, but mark

hollow river
#

The rest of the time we FoK

#

Ye but you gotta have it somewhere

#

Doesn’t have to be on plates

subtle tundra
#

i count to 10 in my head

hollow river
#

Ok ww main

#

hollow river

brisk lily
#

Heyyy guys

#

Got a question for assa.
When you burst, do you need to put mark before rupture and garrot for dmg boost ? Ou if you put mark after it still upgrade dmg of bleed ?

hollow river
hollow river
#

but check out the guides ye

#

@normal mist hi

#

Yo yo yo morning

#

green is there now

#

#

how do i disable friendly debuffs?

#

wtf

#

must just be the dummys

grim jay
#

Just Blacklist every debuff except the ones you wanna see

thin portal
#

where is that

#

its turned off it must be a dummy thing

#

weird that other player auras is disabled but still showing

#

on dummys

#

seee how easy that is

#

green means it has rupture

#

now i can mouseover bleeds in peace

#

gg thats all for tonight

#

more keys tomorrow

#

to test

solar wyvern
#

Nameplate changing color with rupture kinda sick tech ngl

#

Just awkward when I'm trying to find kick targets

#

Hmmm

thin portal
#

just look for yellow bars that need rupture until 5

#

=d

#

white is current target

outer bronze
#

any tips for a new assassination player running m+? feeling like my aoe is just nonexistent

midnight mist
sacred schooner
#

are you using bleed build?

outer bronze
#

im using m+ build off icyveins

sacred schooner
#

best to start with wowhead guide, whispyr did a great job explaining stuff

outer bronze
#

gotcha ty

thin portal
#

or is that custom plater?

midnight mist
#

thats a plater script yes

#

I made it so that it hides bleeds icons until they are close to pandemic, so I'm not spammed with info

#

And then the plate borders are green when both rupt and garotte are on, otherwise it's red with only gar, and pink with only rupture

thin portal
#

thats nice

blazing pumice
#

that's similar setup to mine, except i use bar colour

#

only problem is i can't see mob agro properly

midnight mist
#

ye i use bar color to differenciate mobs

blazing pumice
#

it's supposed to change border colour but i can't see

midnight mist
#

like casters and shit

#

for agro i use the name color

#

thats a setting on plater btw

#

works fine

restive glade
#

Y’all are color coordinating???

thin portal
#

damn

#

zac with the ultimate plater

#

red text sounds huge

#

for aggro

subtle tundra
#

thats something... common

#

and really helpful

thin portal
#

Im not used to playing with plater just using profiles

red schooner

Unless they changed that

tall jay
#

oh I thought it had to be the lvl you completed

red schooner
indigo sphinx
#

I think they removed that requirement entirely so you don't even need to have killed the bosses

tall jay
#

ok, cool...might not was my time then lol

indigo sphinx
#

Probably so you don't get new players doing the quest and unable to buy anything at all with their chips

tall jay
#

so we can get mythic track stuff ?

indigo sphinx
#

Myth track raid is kill the bosses, myth track M+ is all 12s timed

Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:
If you have to ask, you should play bleed
If you're not doing +17's or higher (or rookery), you should play bleed

Some general concepts as to why people play different things:
Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
Boss damage: The cleave/zeross build is mainly for boss damage. Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and the bosses would not be possible otherwise
Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal.
Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead until bigger AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage.
