It’s like .1 either way just pick one
What don't you like? I feel like sins the best it's ever felt. Boring hero talents but damage is there
Them removing more and more buttons you press yourself and just adding them to be auto done
But im in the minority with it so dw
? It was just slice and dice, right? And I guess thistle tea which is an odd choice.
and echoing
Forgot about that one. But that always felt like a useless filler to me.
10.2 assa was sick imo
Yeah as said im probably in the minority
but like
theres nothing to press anymore
its kinda boring
Low skill expression cuz its just kinda rng dmg wise if you crit
hasnt it been like that since ever?
yeah it has
the guy that crits 1 more time wins
but its going more into that direction
its been like that since classic
cuz u dont have to press snd and echoing and tea anymore on your own
I mainly M+, and I get giggles when I top the FOTM classes. Long live crimson tempest.
Was Kingsbane crit rng before
and tea you dont really care about it
Yeah
But I still preferred it by a lot
"yes" you're right

Let's get rid of sub, make ot a tank or healer or ranged dps spec.
Yeah not sure why they removed it
yeah i loved the minigame
but oh well
I do agree snd was a shitty button never said it wasnt
i just prefered more things to press 
Outlaw has tons of buttons to press of you're lookin for APM!
I am playing outlaw in keys since some weeks
Just cant raid on it for shit so
stuck on assa cuz noone plays rogue so hard to recruit
bte rng outlaw also not the most fun but hey
anyone of the good rogues finally can answer what enchant sims the highest
or gimme the sheet to sim it 😄
oh lol i didnt know
and press sim
you hadf to use advanced before
Lol, chuck crashing out over a potential .1 percent dps boost.
mongoose back ?
yes
im talking about corruptions for head
You're corrupt in the head.
thats true
im gonna chop bacon out of u,no one touches flux
🗡️
its not on raidbots
he meant churki
we wrote at the same time xD
bro is playing rp on rogue discord
and try to insult me
when i was just asking a legit question
so it hit the right person
"try" then it means he couldn't do it
couldnt bother less im just looking for that advanced sim shit xd
but im fried cant find it
try the TC channels
😦
i really can't help with that, im way too casual to care about that
can you use shadowstep on gallywax in P2 when he's in the center of the arena?
corruptions are so irrelevant i sure hope nobody did anything advanced to sim it
for anyone who wants to sim it
I’m playing void ritual cause it’s stats and I don’t have to worry about it pulling extra mobs
It's so inconsistent and annoying, I just step the tank most of the times on gally
lol i didnt saw it
Corruption is indeed fucking churki up
you good homie
tdev is the only corruption i can pull extra shit with
take care of yourself
and gaslight the group into blaming the arcane mage
miau miau miau
i cant wait for this whole corruption madness to repeat for the belt
great for whispyr

Meow (me when I sim corruptions and they are all the same)
will belt have also corruption spot
it has things to select from i believe
are we going back to gushing wound doing 90% of the damage
i thonk
Idk im not old
Also didnt every gear slot have corruptions at that point or smthin
i hope we have to farm artifact power for the belt
you were able to attach corruptions
so i have something to do
to slots that werent trinkets
there was a threshold of corruption you didnt want to hit otherwise too many debuffs
unless you were a mage or bm hunter
getting chased by a rng spawn that did like half your hp if it touched you 
peak comedy was that pvp trinket that increased people's corruption for standing in the circle you dropped 
scam
and cc that breaks on damage didnt slow it down at all
So you could sap someone 3x while they were standing in 3 of the circles
corruptions killed me in pvp so often
like every time i got kidney'ed i'd have the fucking eye pop up so im getting double blasted
into blind
just to keep you in the spite circles
Then kidney
then half cheapshot
true
pretty sure some locks at the highend played goblin
tahts not a crit
imagine if it was
cant crit
ik
mastery on rings better then crit ?
depend your sim
Baguette de Necromancer?
is gushing wound way to go for sin rogue in raid ?
i picked void ritual
i had void ritual aswell
i went void too
but every top 3 rogues in logs are using gushing
on what log
!pin
top rogues on ranking heroic

(its probably a good choice)
they are all close but look the pinnnnnnsssssss
make me
how do i need to time cos for umin soak on mugzee to not get the debuff?
thought just <1 sec but still got it with cloak on cd
Pins
make me
i see ty
has to be a bug or not ?
they really play tiny toxic balde
You Will always get the debuff From soaking rocket
ah i see the talent only gives bleed damage
Its for p2
yeah its gear dependent
any ring that doesnt have crit on it is a loss for me
You set it up so only certain people Can be the target of it
i thought it had something to do with the debuff, like "not having it" makes you the target
It does function like that
But for the overlap in p2 cages are out at the same time
So you want it to go on specific people so you Can still soak it
ok thank you for explaining it
damn only 2.1 in st sim?
For bleed build is the opener for super big pulls always the same (Like half the room at the start of Cinderbrew)? Ambush -> Garrote -> Rupture -> Rupture -> Garrote -> Garrote -> CT -> Mutilate -> Big cooldowns
You dinared a back?
xD
depending on if i mouse over a muscle to guarantee it gets hit versus relying on IC, sometimes I do an extra rupture
I did get the two trinkets in vault so
cause you wanna hopefully get ruptures on the muscles and not small guys, and if u dont mouse over then unlucky
Yeah i mean as sin you really just need ig
jastor, maybe hoc if you plan to multi
or mess with stats more
and kezan is kinda meh unless you really care about it just being good for gally
I dont think I will play anymore when gally dead, so dinar back is fine
So for important targets, you want to guarantee a rupture? Do you do an extra rupture for super big pulls or just 2 for your scent of blood?
I dont do any extra rupture for big pulls, I just do it to get it on the targets that are actually gonna live long enough to get max value from the rupture
the patrons die in a few seconds and a lot of the rupture value is wasted versus getting it on the muscles
i mean technically you dont "lose" value?
since SD is a thing
but yeah spattering probably more damage on giant groups
Ahh makes sense
i mean its losing value in terms of speeding up your clear of the dungeon
i mean sure but rupture damage on the muscle isnt negligible
plus you lose the scent of blood stacks so fast if its on a tiny mob
Yeah i mean you should have rupture on muscle
preferably mark
XD
It's really just variable based on pulls
and mobs in it
so prioritize rupture on targets that are gonna live long enough, do the standard rotation and get to big cooldowns and splatter as quick as possible

Depends on pull size really
its really variable on pull size
but yeah
crafted was better for me, even
Well in this context super fat pulls
idk its like if one target is gonna live 4 seconds and the other is gonna live 20 then like try and dot the one that lives 20 right, I was just saying if im lazy and my IC doesnt hit a 2nd muscle sometimes ill do an extra rupture mouseover cast to guarantee it hits a muscle
in an ideal world u just mouseover rupture the 2nd muscle and dont sweat it
I see, thank you
You really just have to make judgements
Based on the pulls
There is no set rules on how to press things
that's fair, I appreciate it
i'm shiving mythic gally but the adds arent de-enraging
i have arterial
is this meant to happen?
dude i don't get we almost have same stats and gear but u sims almost 100k higher whats wrong ?
this is my quick sim https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eU4fXifhKahdAwVTMb5fVi
kinda weird to me
is it just because of jastor hc ?
it's like 90k for me?
Yeah almost 100k
Rip me im .002 dps lower
i should go orc bump the funny number up more
Ive been debating this with myself also
Also should spend my dinar
because

im pretty sure part of that is how dangerously close my crit is to mastery
is it possible to get mythic gear with dinar? without killing boss in that mode?
Yeah buy a carry
that requires "killing boss in that mode"
If you meant greater corruption, then yes
yeah i meant that, what do you have to do for that?
the dude near the visions gives you a quest
do i have to use masks?
i dont think so, you get the quest items from "lost areas" 2x per run if you do full run
do we use Stormbringer's Runed Citrine, Fathomdweller's Runed Citrine, Windsinger's Runed Citrine for both m+ and raid?
i just did 5 mask run org, cant even imagine the 8 mask run 😮
ah make sense ty
what are the masks then for?
yeah I press all buff, for win the max I always sim only with bl
well that make sense i never get pi in raid so i dont check pi
once the entire tree is upgraded it'll be way less sketch
comes with a cheat death for sanity
also the no sanity loss proc
which gives giga haste during
Is there a / command for the tricks macro + wa?
ye
man ts was so funny
when you had haste corruptions
or played dh
second you got the proc you just pulled and murdered everything in the zone
this is one I found on wago https://wago.io/-o__lI3y_
no idea if its any good
but smart misdirect has been very popular for a while
ty 

tbh with the gamon spawns and potions, sanity is already not really a factor even in 8 mask runs
echoin void fixed yet?
but the teeming/multitudes and bolstering is a lot of melee damage to deal with
I figured it out
dont deathmark on 3rd set
use it when all the many adds come out
but yeah idk not the greatest damage on this boss but it is what it is
just cd the 3min and 7min add spawns
and shiv the little spawns
for little spawns i like to shiv early during kingsbane to better cleave adds
soothe duty 
surely its a damage buff to hit all of the mobs with shiv
i even shiv early on the 4min spawn with kingsbane just to pad 🙈
but no im def doing it for soothe
hey guys anyone have experience in doing 8 masks or should we all swap to our pally tanks 😛
I find sanity no issue. staying alive is an issue 😛
That’s rogue for you
talking rexxar wing mostly
they are exploding it fucking sucks
We have 2 defensives and its evasion and feint and other than those you get auto’d and fall over
Be like that
and having to de-enrage adds is a pain to my rotation
who needs defensives if you just kill everything
been kiting even which seems to work but then it becomes kill many and time gamon 😛
Are you guys running visions as bleed?
why pally
sub in visions is not very good
I feel dh should still be the king
desynchronization is horrible on sub and you cant do anything outside of cds
well most wings are fine actually. no need to rush it. just rexxar wing is hammering my health so blind is on cc due to reduce dmg. killing everything there to get that gamon twice that wing
you can always swap to sub on bosses
and play outlaw/bleed to clear
i think you can possibly vanish most of rexxar wing because you only need to kill him
easier to do with grapple
yea sounds like an idea like I mean sanity if you do bosses right is not an issue tbh. I mean even after reaching rexxar I am still on 3 orbs
ow and yes sorry my bro is pala tank and he tried rexxar wing but he just pulls many timing his tyr and cleanses and he seems fine on surv.
Most melee have some sort of self heal on mob kills
good pointer. with gamon I dont need the set elites
i think its just rogue and shaman that dont

dh is probably as disgusting at it as it used to be in bfa
same as a geared DK I think
and monk does well but I dont like my ballerina spec that much 😛 I am stubborn and need to do it on my 20 year old rogue 😛
dk doesnt benefit as much from mob kills
thnx for the tips, thoughts and pointers
just make sure not to perma bug out your valley of wisdom wing like me 🫠
yea in that case I need to grp up with someone to get it normal again I read
do you always tick "only max colors" when simming meta gem? or is there something negative to it?
it will only test with every color gem in each slot, so if it would be better for you to have only a single color gem, this would not find that
you can run one sim with it checked and nother without it checked to see if there is some difference
there wont be just run the max
Hello solo
im ridin solo lo lo lo lo lo lo
Anyone can recommend me a good build and/or spec for 5 mask vision run?
yeah rexxar needs alot of dps
havent tried max masks yet,its pointless coz im undergeared
should i cloak the first frontal or the second frontal on gallywax mythic?

cause my cloak isnt up on my groups second frontal
all these non-bomb havers soaking frontals
ok so i tank the first one possibly with faint and my groups second frontal i cloak?
frontals don't really do much damage
the second one just has a bunch of things happening at the same time that you may not be able to avoid which is why you cloak
ye that happens from time to time
!trade
same brain cell
2nd frontal 1st group is usually the immune soak
since its the craziest overlap over there
man
i just did 4 15s in a row
on each of them the tank died on the first pack or the 2nd
how is that fcking possible.. LOL
I assume pugs
yea
makes sense
its so fcking bad its insane
I mean, thats usually when the tank is finding out what the group is capable of lol
i assumed ppl would know how to press their buttons in 15s tho but i guess thats just still pisslow
all keys were a disaster today
no it's not pisslow it's just pugs lmao
pug “people” don’t know how to press buttons ever
pug quality will always be bad
was doing a 16 flood killed 1st two bosses then my monk tank pre pulls a pack and the pug sham just bursts b4 the monk took aggro and wiped us all and bricked the key
its so disgusting
ye that sure sounds like a pug 
he tilted so hard (the monk tank) and nearly deleted the game idk its crazy
this will forever be the answer to any m+ question/problem
tbh
im making posts on all mythic+ discord and stuff and getting no replies
when i tried making a team on my dk or mage my dms were full
no1 needs a rogue sadly
add all the good ppl u find from pugs
been on that
i found a few friends that play w/ me but they kinda got bored of the game
they also like non meta specs and phys comps type of stuff
to be fair u can do whatever comp u want unless ur doing like actually absurd keys
ya
phys comp chads 
was just talking to my friend how i was searching for keys n people needed meta specs to time a 14
its so sad how brainwashed they are thinking they need full meta for a 14 its annoying
blizz nees to make a queue system of some sort idk
wouldn’t fix anything
itd be easier to get into keys this system is rlyy horrible anything but it would work
every problem comes back to just wow players not being good at wow
why do you “need” to care about comp for low keys?
because wow players suck ass
it is what it is
it’s not boomers either
and then wow is gonna be a zoomer infested game 
the boomers aren't even doing keys
you can keep making up a million different reasons and none of them are accurate
wow players suck at wow.
most good wow players ive met were in the 18-25 age range
the worst ones were above 30
thats a pattern i noticed
not saying ALL but mostly
turning casual game into hypercompetitive and then wondering why not good
el classico

and ik a dude in his 40s who farms 99 parses

most good wow players ive met were in the above 30 age range
the worst ones were 18-25
thats a pattern i noticed
not saying ALL but mostly
good message bro
seething so hard
dont believe me look me up: skipnoz
the only pattern i’ve noticed is that nobody pugging actually gaf ab the game 
wow is easy if you care at all but no one does
just want free dopamine
gotta find ppl who wanna try 4 title

uh
does anyone know the best route for this week vision
i havent bothered to log on to do anything
😴
i quit my hunter to be here
go left do normal area, go left lost area, use port and go back, then go right etc
hello sub players are back from their 12 hours of fun
look up revisited orgrimmar guide on wowhead
Igaf big dog
all the best players i know dont gaf about keys 
You are not old
You are young, cute and demure
i’m a HAG
Hot ass gamer
loln no
did a clef 12 yester day
warrior tank only did 800k overal end of key, my ui was constantly flashing red cause i always had threat
tanks especially pug tanks dont know how to press buttons
Why didn’t you tricks
Who did more pad on first boss
Majority of the playerbase cant hit buttons regardless of content level 
doing gods work helping tomlaw out, good stuff
Lovely group of people too
ty yoda
nah
how did you survive then
nah outlaw is stronger zac was just bad in this key
Back on the hamster wheel, buddy
im here for the funnel only
You can just do the two areas that drop the quest item and then leave instance and loot mailbox
Don't need to do full run
You need to be subjected to more of my spriest keys
Half the time I send it to the ceiling anyways. I’m out here manually dotting like xalatath intended
rexxar and the % clear or?
Yeah those two
just gonna do the clear ig
Yeah that’s my thought too
If I’m already doing the dogshit areas may as well just send it
Maskless is insanely quick
14 isn’t that bad at all
yupp esp with turbo boost
this head to head shit is actually great, love seeing the friendly rivalry
^
"what should i play for keys ooooo ahhh" PLAY WHATEVER MAN THEY BOTH ROCK
(not sub)
5% buff buddy
You would be keeping up with the submissive and breedable rogues young Timothy
do you guys set up bronze as tank in solo delves?
im reformed
nah, hes a healer
what skills do you give him?
Twink
Ye I’ve not been a big delva this season tho 
ok thx
but speed and more damage makes delves faster
i cant see the speed utiliity one tbh. I found the dinosaur
Rocket fuel
Ye
yeah thats the one
my rogue seems to have very low self healing - especially compared to my fury warrior. This is normal i guess?
Leech and vial
im using vial - how do you leech?
Leeching poison
assass gets like 7% leech natty
be very liberal with hitting evasion
Warriors have a 30% heal with a pretty short CD 
Love victory rush best tank heal button ever (dear god prot catch up is dogshit)
No libruls in my world of wokecraft
Laughs in DoT damage
we're pushing together now
instead of udk
other grp is just playing late and our healer doesnt want to play late
so ye
Picked assa up recently and I keep seeming to run out of energy in prolonged AoE fights and I'm struggling to maintain bleeds on enough mobs to get value out of it - am I just bad or is this hard?
what are our the best corruptions since echoing void is bugged?
argh i did a non empowered delve.. this is a waste of time right? i should be doing the ones that are lit up?

thoughts on this off meta stuff? feels like there's more groups than usual pushing with like...way off meta comps than usual this season
or is it still just early enough
my fault
np. im looking for one that can suit all 3 specs
and im kinda lost since echoing is bugged, gushing is best in ST and twilight is M+ specific looked on logs most of people are using void ritual
For sin, 5/6 of them were within margin of error, best case is just to run a sim for each spec and go from there
i love how you've kinda answered your own question without knowing it
truth is they're all SO close
that it genuinely is preference, or whatever content you're doing
just take void ritual and you literally can't go wrong
First season aug isn’t “mandatory” I feel like helps a lot
god you're right
I hope it stays dead 😅
i don't want any spec dead but
im on board with it's damage being pushed into personal damage and away for buffing group to keep it from being too problematic
im also fine with it being a spec that only "works" under niche circumstances (i.e. your other dps are gods)
where it is right now seems kinda fine
Throughput buffs are one thing but when they buff group survivability in a season where there was a lot of unavoidable damage they just dominated the meta
idk i think more support stuff is inevitable
When its strong theres a lot of people that WANT to play it moreso than any other fotm thing
alot of people against their will too but idk
Definitely some demand for it
i played it on release and loved it, loved the playstyle, loved the vibe, but hadn't played it since S3 DF
after it got buffed over and over after it got killed i recently picked it up again
and it's totally lost its lustre for me
so i wonder how much "fun" i was having before was just because it was so good
felt shite playing in a 12 with pug dps

are we at the stage in the season now where double dawnthread lining outperforms ascension
coz based god chainbleed has done just that
also why tf does he use stormriders chest enchant over crystalline radiance
thats troll as hell
!tott
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
well, speaking of experience as i played this season since day 1 ptr
i can tell you that off meta comp is about 0.5-0.8 key level behind r1 team
Still find it fun
The people who arent playing it now are just salty they cant expect carries
Tbf thats the case for most seasons
@winged sun can you remind me how cleave rota/opener is for packs
ambush spread rupture 2 times, 3-4 times if the pack is 9-12 mobs
sometimes u wont be able to spread the 4th rupture in IC
but if ur able to thats good
target high hp mobs
might wanna try some high keys idk
im so fucking bored now
debating on getting new pc parts so i can play some other games and also have better fps in woweee
i dont think its worth spreading rupture above 9 mobs
because those packs that have that high hp mobs usually are way too much u wont have to spread that many ruptures
u just get into envenom insta after 2 ruptures
do you mouse over, just tabtarget when rupturing or stay on the same one
mouseover
makes sense
#showtooltip rupture
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead][] rupture
just do it
nothing u can lose
because
if ur mouseover rupture doesnt spread to ur main target
u just press ur normal rupture keybind
and it does it for u
EZ
oh you have seperate rupture with mouseover?
i have 2 rupture macro's
do you CT before u spam envs? or straight envs
CT before envenom yes
sometimes envenom before CT if im waiting for some mobs to come in
and theres a high prio mob that ineedto kill
so ye
gocha
what mobs are best to shroud in workshop?
theres only like 3 spots where you would shroud
Its clearly 1945
the patrol guy
the last dog tank doesnt pull(depends on route ig)
and the 2nd to last pack, if they dont do double pack skip on last
well, you just distract the big guy there
so you pull everything else
cause you want the %
s where do u shroud?
tho it depends what your tank want ig
this lil guy
and the 5 pack there
usually.
theres nowhere really to shroud almost so
dw
the whole dung is only 118,18%
:d
What is the tier one talent build right now?
for what
M+
theres no really "tiers" to it
just go for the bleed, if you want it easy
easiest to learn
!bleed
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.
Read point number 1
Where did that come from
no its just what ross got
i dont even have rup macros
cause im stooooopid :3
Who's Ross
?
Oh, I only know him by zeross
Whats up green guy
zeross uses two macros
Now I read "ze-ross"
i dont havr upture macros either
i just unga bunga and im doing 15's
thats about it
but i think to go higher i need to start using my brain
whats the two macros you have? @winged sun
Ross is made up by zac
you posted the mouseover whats the othe rone
Zeross only
Other one is non macro’ed rupture
#showtooltip rupture
/cast [@mouseover, harm, nodead][] rupture gotta bookmark this one for when i get home and use it
Makes it easier to target ur main target
oh so you have a normal rupture and a macrod mouseover rupture
makes sense aight
i have a bad habit of letting rupture fall off mobs when they live too long
coz i cbf refreshing or popping vanish
i just blame my teammates for not killing shit fast enough
200IQ
If I don’t mouse over anything will that cast rupture anyways
Hmm idk
Actually idk why I’m asking I’m done with rogue
I’ll probably still yoink for next season
I got 3k guys I’m just playing alts
Based
I got my mount it’s time to mess around
I think the [] means it will cast it normally
Pushing is for people who have a lot more free time than me
Which idk why you’d bind it twice if that’s the case
My Rogue sits at 660 just doing delves for gilded so I can get mythic set recolours
Well if my mouse is on a mob and i wanna cast it on my main target
I wont have to focus on 10 things
But u mean i should remove []?
If i want it purely mouseover?
Pretty sure that would do it
I’m not macro god by any means though, but worth a test 🙂
Yes I think that will only cast if you have mouseover
Great ty will try tmrw
Lemme know if it works, tbh been meaning to give it a shot myself. Frustrating when I think I’m casting @ mouseover and I end up refreshing on current target 
Maybe I can make it all one macro and just use shift mod for mouseover
Does the bleed build do zdps on bosses?
It’s not great but it can do okay dps if you drop cooldowns during execute
I’ll prob forget to tell u if it works or not
All good
bleed build is less focused on single target than it is on aoe damage
single target boss damage isnt bad but not great
If you're not doing 17+ it really doesn't matter much, bleed is overall better and easier
this 100%
Also, blindside cool
apparently even in 17+ its not bad
Really just depends on if your group can make up for your lack of ST
It's not, but you're starting to enter an area where boss DMG becomes really important, that's why people tend to move away from bleed at that point
If you hold right click your mouse also doesnt count as mouseover because she is gone. I use that if i dont want to accidently mousover stuff
Ye i think i do that
Persoanally i dont have issues with rupturing
Everything functions the way i’d like it to be
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I did some sims and the cleave build is 6% more boss dmg while losing 15% in dslice. I think cleave build has its place for certain ST heavy keys like workshop or rookery/top maybe but people really overplay it in places like priory, even at the 18-20 key level
It doesnt lose 15% in slice
!fuu

U need to use a different apl if u wanna sim it
!rik
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.

Mug dead, just 1 more 🙂

not all damage is equal though
cleave's damage profile (prio target murder) is much better than random aoe
There's absolutely no way its the same prio
Not when the Walls are already up
velf 
bleed's not gonna do the same damage to bosses with funnel nor is it going to do good on bosses like momma
yeah
Bit of poison crit carrying the world on your shoulders
it goes a long way
Poisons do jack shit for damage what
Subterfuge build is better than cleave build for big momma (kingsbane + DM) btw
the difference between playing dashing and not playing dashing is depressing
For everything on that fight
just in general
Okay nice goalposts I guess gg
i mean
im not sure why you're bringing up dashing but
Its less prio if anything
its not the main point
okay
So where is your prio coming from

for mythic bandit, is it always splatter over internal bleed?
saw couple logs with IB so wasn't sure
Yes
the fact that you're putting more globals into your prio + supercharger
tbh
i did have about ~930M damage on momma
in an 18
you just need to set it up
Thats not helpful data
yeah i know
Idk what 930m even means but
Pick cleave if u want more st for the price of a cancerous gameplay
Just short of 1km imo
this
is it more cancerous
i feel like if anything it simplifies things
Its way more cancerous
how so
I mean you put more envenoms in but you get less singular focus idk
It’s not just magically prio monster
You trade off
You lose zoldyck as well
Blindside too
That’s not prio
you just gotta be more mindful of your mark
Buff KB
Doesn’t match up with your name tbh
i just hate kingsbane without ttk
Spatter caused the nerf to KB 
All rogue aoe the same
Link is just rogue cleave on roids
bring back 2 button sub
Larger range
Therefore superior
Psychic fluuuuuuuurry
bring back sub rogue funnel
Psychic Spatter
i mean caustic is shit for the game
Yes thats why im a hater
you cant buff any other ability without it causing cascading effects in aoe
Just tune spatter % down 🤭
Nerf spatter buff KB
I’d rather have a sweeping set of talent builds that range from nothing but st to nothing but aoe
Instead of just “you get everything”
i mean yeah
Its gonna end up like Psychic link
But that’s never gonna happen
i feel you
Getting tuned every hotfix to change the number
Cause it’s too complicated and blizzard would never
That’s the joke 😦
i think ass has really good capstone talents
and it sucks you cant pick all of them
;w;
or rather, some of the best ones are locked behind really shit ones
so you gotta waste points on those
I think sin has the best example of build diversity currently but thats just me
a la bone spike and blindside
Dragon tempered blades is shit and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t
Evoker has pretty strict "this is the build" and most of the time the "builds" are changing a talent or 2
i mean thats also sub rogue
The issue is that specs than run like that are almost always really strong
Since they don’t have “give up” anything
Like Pres has one build in keys and people end up just changing 1 or 2 talents
Was just setting up my Chrono raid build today after the buffs
Like Dev

i mean theres also the issue of dragonflight talents
taking a lot of baseline passives and marking them as talents
The DF talents have brought a slew of problems
Capital of such is massive defensive bloat
slight tangent but i wish they keep the deathstalkers evasion/cloak thingy baseline
i swear to god it feels so good
Im fully expecting them to just half the DR strength of all active and passive mitigations and forgetting to tune enemy damage to compensate
so whats the point of doing that then when the result's the same
Idk ask them
There does need to be a culling of defensive power
Thats why M+ ends up so bursty since its the only way to challenge people is to just threaten them with oneshots
well m+ is infinitely scaling
Healer PoV having to heal damage when people arent pressing mitigations is miserable almost regardless of key level
it's bound to happen at the highest levels
Thats always the excuse but the results happen well before that becomes relevant
Even in 10s-12s which are expected for gearing the amount of healing a healer has to put out varies dramatically on a per dungeon and per group basis purely based on how people are using kicks, cc and mitigations
Like in a 10 priory with my group for weeklies I can get by ending with 700k overall by the end
But in pugs its rare im not around 1m for that dungeon
Just cuz people are so ass
I mentioned casts since they are also relevant
well yeah
in higher keys you are in near death danger if you are getting doublecasted by certain mobs
Yeh
that happens less and less the lower you go
Thats generally expected due to infinite scaling I only brought it up because it happens outside of push keys
And the amount of nonsense you have to deal with happens less since instead of dieing to casts or mechanic failure you run into survivability bottle necks
2 similar problems with different fixes
i mean sure but you make it sound almost intentional by blizzards side
i think its just poor numbering on some things
Some things are tuned just very poorly but I only blame blizzard cuz its a result of defensive bloat thats been happening since DF
They even admitted in an interview its getting out of hand and they are planning to prune them at some point
they should bloat some defensives on my shaman
Speculated to be midnight but obviously nobody knows
But then again
Healers arent people so who cares 
hm
maybe you are right due to thr fact that ive been taking these things for granted
I honestly think its more of a community perception puzzle
Dps want to be responsible for their own lives and therefore have high defensive power
another Passive 5% dr for DK, gotcha
But healers want to be responsible for keeping their team alive more so they should weaken defensive power so threatening oneshots constantly isnt a thing
Not an easy fix
you know what that reminds me about?
