why not

#

not always have to min max everything

#

when you having fun

fast phoenix
#

cause m+ system is dumb

#

io score is dumb

#

raiding is like walkign outside and the birds chirping and the sun shining on your face with a cool brisk breeze

runic hinge
#

I just like playing wow with my friends

#

Either way it’s fun

lyric gate
fast phoenix
#

Thats what i do, theyre just RL friends who are barely getting into mythic raiding, so helping out, less stressful than maxing everything out

#

was getting burned out

Hey
Is the bleed build still ok for m+?
or we switch back to Kingsbane one?

worn geyser
#

bleed build good

worldly dock
#

ok nice
Im struggling only a bit on Single Target

fast phoenix
#

extremely normal

#

hybrid build is only viable in like 17-18+

worldly dock
#

Hybrid is the Kingsbane one?

fast phoenix
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

hybrid is viable always, it's just not better and the single target is kinda the same

#

the zeross build with FI and shit is more in the spirit of the old cleave builds

#

and cleave is the one that's not viable until hella high

fast phoenix
#

yeah that ^ he lied through his teeth

balmy condor
#

too many assa builds

#

it's allg

#

finally

#

#

Sin is squishy or is it just me

#

Squishy splat squishy

#

I dont die on outlaw but then I'm target capped and ks sucks so its hard choices here

#

I mean

#

Sin die from squishyness or outlaw and die from ks

#

Hello police

#

I'd like to file a complaint

runic hinge
#

Sorry I filed all complaints allowed for the day

#

You’ll have to wait for tomorrow

thin portal
#

Ok what time does the complaint office open?

runic hinge
#

Ask Zac. He usually fills the box first thing every day

median root
thin portal
#

Not a bad idea

#

Both spec can use haste

median root
thin portal
#

Just pop bomb before ks

#

And pop bomb if taking lots of dmg as sin

#

I could replace pacemaker with it

median root
#

also you can use it when you get arena in TOP to grief your team

thin portal
#

Umm

#

No griefing

#

Use it like we talked for defensive

median root
#

La di da no griefing

@worthy rose dude I forgot to set my render scale down after flexing my fps and I was wondering why my fans were spinning up so hard

#

I've been playing 200% render scale

#

for like 2 weeks

#

But when feint doesnt work on a dangerous mechanic its monkaS

balmy condor
#

my PC is quiet again

#

do not do this

#

humble verge
#

man

#

i love mecha

#

depleted 17 and 16

balmy condor
#

I did notice that I forgot to put some case fans back in though after my rebuild

humble verge
#

i died 7 total times on 3rd boss in those keys

#

lmao

#

:3

balmy condor
#

but uhhhhhhhhh

humble verge
#

did you upgrade

balmy condor
#

I don't wanna fucking do that rn

humble verge
#

?

balmy condor
#

not recently

#

but my mobo exploded a while ago and when I rebuilt I guess I didn't add fans on the top

#

so I got like 3 fans in the front, 1 out the back

#

idk it's been fine I'll put in the 3 fans on the top later maybe at some point surely

#

I'll remember

pastel roost
#

It sounds fine tbh unless you bring in vastly more air than you get out

balmy condor
#

connecting fan headers is aids I wish on not even my biggest opp

#

I tried to connect to a fan header when I built this pc

#

my finger slipped

#

I impaled my index finger on a pin

#

and then also bent the pin

#

and had to bend the pin back into shape

#

AIDS I say

restive glade
#

man ... that would bother me smh my head

pastel roost
#

You gotta pay a little more but a fan hub would mak things easier for you

pastel roost
jaunty kayak
#

just read that the bug on raidbots is "hopefully" fixed .. so I ran a sim and and my upgraded offhand simmed -5k dps kekdog

balmy condor
#

something like that

#

and then I have space for 3x 120's on the top

#

but I haven't put them in

#

not 160

#

140

#

idfk

pastel roost
#

Yeah it's most likely fine 😄

restive glade
#

no its not, panic!!! ur pc on fire!!! plug in fans!!!!!!!

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean my CPU and GPU temps are giga low (if I don't have 200% render scale on)

#

don't think they ever creep over 70-75

#

big whatever

#

like even with the insane render scale my gpu was at like 83-84

restive glade
#

fellas ... gf wants me to comment on her ig posts but I aint got shit to say rlly, am i rlly about to ask chatgpt

pastel roost
#

Fortunately wow is not using much of the gpu usualy , so the 200% render scale just made your GPU work like a beast :p

balmy condor
#

yah

#

my lazy ass 3080ti

#

GPU is a muscle, train until failure or something

cerulean walrus
#

My lazy ass 4070ti man NOOOO

pastel roost
#

Dang that's still a beasty card imo

balmy condor
#

upscale my game to 10k you fuckass gpu

balmy condor
cerulean walrus
#

Whispyr have you considered that maybe it’s not Comcast fucking you it’s that you keep rendering games in 24k?

pastel roost
#

Holy shit your pc must have been toasty

I get told to write editorial on state of barbarian

#

so I write editorial on state of barbarian

#

what the fuck am I supposed to do with this

worthy rose
cerulean walrus
#

Just a bloke

balmy condor
#

fucking wowhead commentors

cerulean walrus
#

Get bloked idiot

novel star
#

honey it’s 4pm it’s time to write about d4

balmy condor
#

half these comments are "wtf is the writer talking about, having 4/6 of your buttons auto-picked for you is totally fine and running every shout in the game as a baseline for a barb build is fine, shut up"

#

and the other half is like "yeah that's shit, agree"

restive glade
#

so i made the decision maybe i should dip guilds after mine has had some attendance/cancelling issues

other mythic prog guilds talk about rotating out dps per bosses sometimes and that sounds fuckin stupid to me bc i want to play but is this normal thing that I just have to accept or find another guild that doesn't do subbing like this

novel star
#

this is normal

balmy condor
#

that's basically required for a mythic raid roster

#

you can't have a mythic guild with 20 people on roster

#

just doesn't work

#

and if you have more than 20 people, someone has to sit

novel star
#
  • if you never sit available people then the perma benched never get geared etc
#

it’s just part of the game

balmy condor
#

ye

novel star
#

tab out and do something else until they get to your boss

worthy rose
#

is it just me having a skill issue

#

or is playing a rogue fucking diabolical in pugs

novel star
#

yep

balmy condor
#

if the guild is competent you'll be sat for vault slots and stuff as well

worthy rose
#

like assassination has 0 vers in most ideal setups

#

i get wasted by alot of mechanics

balmy condor
#

like getting everyone a 4 boss vault

sly spoke
#

sup gents sorry for the dumb question but is cyrces still worth it or should i just craft better rings

worthy rose
#

and if healer cant keep up

#

i just die

restive glade
#

so what is guaranteed? it seems like i have to accept reality that I won't raid every week and 3hrs i dedicate to playing on raid day might just b 1hr

balmy condor
worthy rose
#

cyrces circlet will be your ring to use unless you can craft a 681 ring

#

but you shouldnt craft a 681 ring until you have your other gear all up to spec iirc

balmy condor
worthy rose
#

sim yourself tho

balmy condor
#

hold on a sec let me show you what our roster looked like earlier this season

amber brook
worthy rose
#

yeah dont do anything then in that case

novel star
#

simply be good and you’ll be there on the prog bosses

worthy rose
#

circlet is pretty pog

worn geyser
#

this is not directly rogue related, but I could not find an answer after googling, do any of you guys know a way to bind the 'interact key' on the same keybind as 'extra action button' and 'zone ability button' : for example i want the same keybind to interact with an object to pick it up, but then use the same key to cast whatever ability the interactable object i picked up has

worthy rose
#

no need to rush to replace it

sly spoke
#

part of me thinks that im playing the double shiv build very wrong or something

novel star
#

rogue has such fucked up defensives man

#

lock in

balmy condor
#

we have a fairly small roster

#

but same concept

worthy rose
balmy condor
#

or like on a prog fight it's like okay ahool sits on bandit

worthy rose
#

coz like if you have a pulsing aoe and your healer cant get you

balmy condor
#

and then he's back in to prog mug'zee

worthy rose
#

we have basically nothing outside of cloak of skil

balmy condor
#

and someone else sits on mug

worthy rose
#

i get so fuckin triggered when i run pugs with shitass healers

restive glade
#

so it doesn't suck as much as I thought it seems, I take it this is for reclears, not for prog. or does it include prog as well?

fast phoenix
worthy rose
haughty flicker
#

Just be the only rogue and you’re almost always in for prog garf_sit

worthy rose
#

but outside of those exceptions the circlet generally is one of the best rings

balmy condor
fast phoenix
balmy condor
#

so like if you aren't in for prog on bandit, you would usually be in for prog on mug'zee

novel star
restive glade
fast phoenix
#

we barely have enough for 20, we had to find a random thursday lol

worthy rose
novel star
#

no

worthy rose
#

coz both outlaw and sub stack vers like no tomorrow

balmy condor
#

bleed?

worthy rose
#

whereas assassination has like 5% vers or less outlaw and sub have like 20+%

#

thats a 15% damage reduction alone difference

#

that in itself is like a permanent feint

spice surge
novel star
#

like i guess maybe but if you’re dying on assassination to unavoidable damage not getting healed you’re probably also dying to the same damage on the other specs

#

vers is kinda fake news a lot of the time

worthy rose
#

hmm

spice surge
novel star
#

^

spice surge
#

Its moreso due to them just having 2 extra defensive talents in their tree

runic hinge
#

Just gem for verse you coward

spice surge
#

The vers thing is secondary

runic hinge
#

Straight verse gems and then go PvP

cerulean walrus
#

Just vers flask like a maniac

runic hinge
#

Real based and true

sly spoke
#

but either i have wrong gear or im incredibly bad at the build

spice surge
#

Assa gets +3.6% leech, sub gets soul leech and a 10% dr thats up more than half the time (and on demand)

balmy condor
#

what key level are you doing

sly spoke
#

yeah

runic hinge
#

Yeah let’s call it cleave

#

Good name

sly spoke
#

16-17s im sure bleeds would do the job but i need to learn the build thats been played the most

runic hinge
#

New Chinese tech

#

Cleave build

balmy condor
#

but I get it

restive glade
#

what is this chinese tech u speak of (link build)

balmy condor
#

it is a bit difficult to play though

balmy condor
fresh kelp
#

it's def a big factor

runic hinge
# restive glade what is this chinese tech u speak of (link build)

I’m memeing because when bleed build was getting popular people called it new Chinese tech but Whispyr had it in the guild for many seasons already. Cleave in some form which sacrifices aoe in favor of single target and doing your aoe with spatter has also been in the guide for years too.

#

So basically I’m just telling jokes

plush gorge
#

we still same on latest?

runic hinge
#

Sorry they aren’t funny I’m gonna keep at it

restive glade
#

if u have to explain joke misses the mark 😦

runic hinge
#

Yeah well it’s not my fault you don’t know the context. Try being permanently online more

Is it weird that hybrid is simming higher than bleed for me in ST and Dungeon Slice?

balmy condor
clever drift
#

Hello just hit 80, should i go bleed or hybrid for m+

humble verge
#

just go bleed

clever drift
#

is it because its better or easier?

humble verge
#

probably easier yes

#

you dont need to care about caustic spatter

balmy condor
#

easier and better for low keys

humble verge
#

the setup for hybrid just does less damage in lower keys

clever drift
#

got it thanks

west crown
balmy condor

#

im kinda surprised you guys are behind us on prog @balmy condor since you guys did 4 days first 3 weeks HOLY

balmy condor

sudden demise damage doesn't sim

balmy condor

#

Have you guys tried the forced induction build that’s been floating around? I used to play bleed until I found it, does way more st and pretty equal aoe with no need to target swap

humble verge
#

funny thing

#

you guys were infront of us in easter

balmy condor
#

it's much harder to play and sucks in lower keys

humble verge
#

since we had like 2 raid days instead of 3

#

and we BARELY killed stix on that wednesday

#

dont think we even killed sprocket on that monday after

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.

#

Yeah but "hard" doesn't come to mind with it

humble verge
#

bleed and hybrid literally have the same opener rota on packs

#

almost

haughty flicker
west crown
#

bleed feels faster big burst aoe once CT and ruptures are up

balmy condor
#

you literally just press garrote + rup + ct on bleed

#

and then phone it in

#

you have subterfuge to move mark around on stuff

#

like

#

it's half the opener but also way harder to fuck up

west crown
#

yeah you do not need to move mark that much lol

acoustic kite
#

Idk it just feels smoother to me, maybe I just sucked at bleed as well

spice surge
#

Idk pretty much regardless of what build i play i feel like the overall is the same or extremely similar

west crown
#

ambush -> fok -> ruptures x2 -> fok envenom spam

spice surge
#

Sure forced induction stuff does more ST

west crown
#

its still the same

spice surge
#

But it does less aoe

haughty flicker
#

i suck equally at everything so it doesnt matter what i play

west crown
#

Idk about less aoe

#

once mobs live there's no way

spice surge
#

Wdym

spice surge
#

You have to refresh your ruptures either way

west crown
#

Well first lust pull of the dungeon for example, I'd hit 16 mil vs like 12-13 on bleed. And unless I have deathmark I'm not keeping up with FI in aoe

thorn sorrel
west crown
humble verge
#

wait

thorn sorrel
humble verge
#

whisp, you added zeross' build to the guide?

balmy condor
#

yes

humble verge
#

and just called it

#

"cleave"

balmy condor
#

I've been supporting a cleave build in the guide since dragonflight

humble verge
#

ah

balmy condor
#

it's in the same spirit

#

does no one read this fucking thing

#

man

humble verge
#

nah

#

i dont

#

im a dog

acoustic kite
spice surge
#

Ive been trying to old school cleave build too

#

And again, pretty much the same shit all around

balmy condor
#

ya

spice surge
#

Not much discernable difference in overalls

thorn sorrel
loud hawk
#

but on bleed build on ST you have to stay 150+ energy right

west crown
humble verge
#

so i guess, zeross is just basically playing cleave then

normal mist
#

"here's a build that is pretty straightforward, deals really good AoE, excellent execute damage and you don't have to worry about kb anymore! You can safely use this up until 17+!!"
Guys doing between 7-12s:
"Yeah but-"

spice surge
#

The best thing about bleed is that you get to pretty much use deathmark on cooldown always

#

No kingsbane screwing up your timer and even if the boss is slightly too low so it wont live the entire 16 seconds, its kinda fine if it dies after 12-4 because of demise anyway

worthy rose
#

if in doubt

#

just bleed build it

normal mist
#

"but guys doing +19+20 don't use it!!!"

lean plover
#

Minor thing but on cleave build it says you lose priority dmg from dropping scent, which in zeross build isnt the case

worthy rose
#

just yolo zeross's recommended build for dummies

balmy condor
#

ruh oh

#

did the page fucking back-update again

lean plover
#

I mean

balmy condor
#

un-update?

worthy rose
#

@winged sun 's build for dummies

balmy condor
#

de-update?

lean plover
#

people dont read the summary

#

they wont read that section

#

hey will ping zeros here and ask

balmy condor
#

I mean I rewrote that section when I updated the build so it shouldn't say that, I took that out

lean plover
#

or ping you

worthy rose
balmy condor
#

but sometimes the guide just like

#

randomly doesn't take changes

#

idk its been weird this expac

#

something something versioning something

worthy rose
#

is it the wowhead hosting

#

whatever server issue there is

balmy condor
#

no we have versioning

lean plover
balmy condor
#

these buttons

#

for ptr and live

#

and when a patch goes live, the PTR database rolls into the live site

#

and sometimes when that happens my guides explode idk

#

bit annoying

lean plover
#

Annoying af

balmy condor
# lean plover

yeah this entire blurb is the season 1 blurb for the build

lean plover
#

ye i know

balmy condor
#

that's so fucked

lean plover
#

its from the old cleave build

#

with zoldyck

#

before ttk changes

haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

sigh

#

let me go fish out the blurb from some random fuck ass changelog

lean plover
#

I wonder how many people actualy read that sectio

balmy condor
#

near no one

#

2/3rds of guide clicks are on the overview page, scroll to the cheat sheet, and then close the tab

#

1/3rds of all guide clicks end up going to a different page

gilded oasis
#

i read every word

haughty flicker
#

why would i read the guide when i can just ping you here and ask anyway

balmy condor
#

so like out of 100% of clicks, 30% of them open a different page, which may or may not be the talent page or rotation page

haughty flicker
balmy condor
#

and then from there the number of people that actually will scroll down enough is even more diluted

#

and then you have to think that out of that diluted diluted dilution of players, people would need to do the 3rd build, the least common build

#

and then read the thing in it

digital venture
balmy condor
#

yeah that's reasonable

digital venture
#

it's also telling me to trash my circlet for the galy ring which makes me sad, I liked it :p

#

I thought we'd only replace it for 700ilvl rings

west crown
#

turns out 684 is good enough

tall atlas
#

I only have 2 upgrades in the game now, the rik reverb neck but mine is myth track cinder at 4/8 now that I think about it so that’s probs what happened there. And myth jastor

worthy rose
#

works gud

winged sun
#

thats not even what i play

haughty flicker

#

Just play the old school cleave garf_sit

#

No complaining about ST here

quiet junco
#

what flask yall use for m+? my stat weights with no flask are crit 47. vers 47. mast45.

past bobcat
#

feels bad

coral ibex
spice surge
#

Because you dont need 5 ruptures

lean plover
#

dont you lose a shit ton of aoe dmg?

spice surge
#

Depends shrugeg

past bobcat
#

The ST with the build zeros plays is pre good and you get scent still

#

you just lose a giga ton of prio without scent

spice surge
#

Sure you dont get +20% agi, but you get execute, which is like 10% on average, and AP makes mobs take +30% damage

spice surge
past bobcat
#

o

clever drift
#

@balmy condor why use crit enchant on ring instead of mastery one

past bobcat
#

Really?

#

20% agi isnt that big?

worthy rose

#

u mean season 1 or

past bobcat
#

@winged sun what are you cooking dawg

balmy condor

balmy condor
lethal arrow
#

Bro just didn't check what he was using that build for?

#

Lol

worthy rose
#

when zeross recommended it a while back for this build

#

not saying you play it right now

winged sun
#

that was before the double shiv cook

#

wtf cheat death too

#

that was a long ass time ago

lean plover
#

thats old af

worthy rose
#

think that was last month or something

lean plover
#

might as well go back to beta with zerocool playing cb+follow the blood

worthy rose
#

i cant remember man

winged sun
#

thats more than 1 month ago

worthy rose

worthy rose
#

love u bro

winged sun
#

swap to shadowstep cdr

#

dont press garrote unless 3-7 mobs in IC

#

1-7*

#

u can prob do higher target counts if ur in deathmark

worthy rose
#

sweet

#

and this build works in mythics up to 15 right

coral ibex
#

!guide

winged sun
# worthy rose sweet

Rupture is worth using a third time during Indiscriminate Carnage (IC) to spread it to up to 9 targets, especially if mobs are high HP.
→ Spread to new mobs—not ones that already have Rupture.

Garrote is worth using inside IC if:

You can’t fit another Rupture within IC at higher target counts 7-8 targets so at lower target counts you want to garrote as the energy it generates is good to maintain sanguine blades

only shiv at 5 targets or below, unless lingering darkness is up then you can use it at higher target counts
you dont want to press rupture on low hp mobs, rupture does way more dmg than envenom even with this "envenom heavy" build

#

heres some detailed info

#

on the build

#

always remember that u should always like to press garrote at 5-6 combo points in aoe

#

u kinda dont want to waste combo points that shit only generates 1

wise plover
#

zeross are you using garote for DM targets on packs?

winged sun
#

yea i kinda do

#

its mainly for prio dmg tho

#

i wouldn't press it out of deathmark in aoe, its kinda worthless

#

some of the info could be wrong it was just few sims we did for that build a bit ago

spice surge
#

Or you could read the wowhead guide that says the same things garf

winged sun
harsh harbor
#

can anyone clarify this line a bit

#

Cast Vanish near the start of Deathmark for Master Assassin and Improved Garrote

#

so vanish BEFORE deathmark?

#

or just after casting it

balmy condor
#

during it

#

but you don't wanna wait until like half your deathmark is gone obviously

#

so just anywhere at the start of it is fine

Anyone know why my Kezan is simming higher than Seaforium Pacemaker (same ilvl) for dungeon slice when Kezan is supposedly bad for M+?

humble verge
#

because its simming you for 5 minutes conintunes chain

#

instead of you being out of combat

haughty flicker
#

if you stay in combat perma is very good

humble verge
#

youre in combat for the whole 5 minutes

#

but kezan is a raid trinket

#

people saying otherwise are braindead icl

haughty flicker
#

i mean 20s are being done with full kezans

#

its a coordinated group trinket

humble verge
#

yeah but, we dont get good value from kezan

thats what i mean

we're the worst choice for kezan imo

at what key lvl do you suggest to switch from bleed build to prio if ever?

!bleed

prisma monolithBOT

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.
buoyant herald
#

the command says 17s but some people have anecdotally had success a bit lower

harsh tartan
#

idk the bleed damage is too tempting to ever drop =))

buoyant herald
#

there's a couple of things the cleave build does well and it's kinda because those things ONLY line up / are required in those higher keys

#

so like yeah, go play it in your 13s for fun

#

you'll probably lose a tonne of trash damage but not feel like a dead weight on bosses

sullen mural
#

I love when my kingsbane dm target just dies before kingsbane finished ticking because its just a 13 catDespair

buoyant herald
#

actually the reason why i jumped on bleed build asap when it got a bit more popularised, man that feeling sucks

harsh tartan
sullen mural
buoyant herald
#

the zeross build does decent boss damage, the "old" hybrid build does about the same as bleed

harsh tartan
#

if you get to some bosse's that you can snapshot a 2 target CT it will surely be better on st isnt that true? and even with pure st its not that much of a dif !

buoyant herald
#

mayyybe but what boss are you thinking off? remember zeross build still takes CT

#

kinda depends what you mean by not that much difference as well

keen spruce
sullen mural
#

He's right

buoyant herald
#

yeah of course

#

but some people may read a command and contiue to live in a contextless world

keen spruce
#

I mean the context is that bleed is better

#

unless you're at a key level that you wouldn't be asking

serene solar
#

If I wanted to swap to sub for final boss of rookery, when do you tele out?

keen spruce
#

which is the spirit of what the bot is saying

buoyant herald
#

i don't know if you're trying to add to or vaguely argue with what i said lol

#

can't win

#

say 17 and someone will pipe up saying well ackchaully i used it on a 15 and i was top dps so...

say use it anywhere and someone will say what you did lol

Any way to improve it? Shit puts me off playing unless I'm doing something wrong

Play not bleed

But that’s literally the point

#

Assa ST sucks unless you go heavy into ST

#

And ST doesn’t matter for shit until higher keys

buoyant herald
#

you make peace with the fact that theres nothing you can do

#

or reroll idk

balmy condor
#

I mean you can just trade the aoe for st I guess

buoyant herald

if you can't handle me when im bleeding, you don't deserve me when im spattering

balmy condor

But it all does roughly the same dps overall

Guys are this simmed gear stats ok? Started playing outlaw and now "have to" play sin. Simming 2.4

#

Ofc spent bullion on M stix trinket and then RL told me to please go sin

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

Idk why people keep thinking that

wait so im really confused because my guild wants me to do more damage to barrels in mythic

im just trying to figure out how to do that

I honestly have no clue how big his hitbox is in terms of yards/meters/whatever the ingame measurement is

balmy condor
#

Lucky for you

#

We have a pin

#

No

We don’t

#

We have a command

Its called not your problem

#

!rik

prisma monolithBOT

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 Subtlety.
amber brook
#

can we have one for stix as well

sharp viper
#

wouldn't be that almost exactly the same

#

holy I can't words

amber brook
#

it is

balmy condor
#

Regardless, caustic is just 12 yards from what you’re hitting and assa wont do barrel damage and it’s literally so late in the season and we just got an extra gajillion ilvl if your guild is having issues with barrels tell your ranged dps to get their head out of their ass and hit their buttons

you are hitting barrels

alternatively

swap barrels for a pull or two

and then loudly queue your mic and go

WAS THAT BETTER

#

DID I DO IT DAD

amber brook

swap to far ones when ranged exists

balmy condor

AM I GOOD NOW

DID I DO BIG DAMAGE

and then your raid lead will open the logs

see that you still don't do shit to the barrels

ok clarification they dont want me to not prio boss but they wanna know why my caustic spatter is so low

so i could suggest moving the boss to barrels more?

balmy condor
#

I mean sure you could but that won't magically solve things

#

you don't wipe on rik because a 3-clump in melee isn't dying

you wipe on rik because the one barrel out in fucking africa isn't dying

and that's like, not even an assa thing

did they actually ask why you're not doing as much caustic damage as this other rogue?

1000 less hits "why aren't you doing as much damage?"

but i tried heroic and didnt let it drop off

and they were wondering why it was still so low

How was caustic dropping off

inland dirge
#

honestly it's impossible to know

if i had to guess

Oh well I mean

balmy condor

If you’re not hitting boss caustic means fuck all

but for my heroic runs i didnt let it drop off once and my dmg ws still so low

if the barrels spawn on boss, you'll do great

if they spawn in narnia

turns out when the guild officers do 0 raid prep for two tiers and then our roster explodes cause we're so dogshit awful, and the replacements are obviously worse, and then no one preps cause if the raid lead doesn't why should the raiders, and then you walk into a literal prep fight and decide to straight up wing the entire thing, YOU DO NOT KILL THINGS
