tbh the first +19 pov I clicked on just sent KB only

#

so maybe thats better idk

royal lantern
#

is it entilted or something like that if i just expect more from blizz in the first place there? legit question

burnt juniper
golden loom
#

not the end of the world either way so idk

burnt juniper
#

yeah because even just KB and your envenoms into that target are destroying it really quick already

#

the last time i tried it i think my KB mob only lived just long enough for KB to have it's last tick

Got cyberpunk for like £20 this year, good game

#

Thank fuck I didn't buy it at launch

burnt juniper
#

i swapped to cleave from bleed this week, was worried it would be a struggle bus

#

but it's not bad, literally just raid build with IC and CT

#

so no learning curve at all

haughty flicker

because the jank is the fun of bethesda games

Owlcat where's my game using the pf2e system as a base. Pls.

haughty flicker
#

stargate would go hard

marble hemlock
#

this is definitely giving me some The Expanse vibes

#

but the little video also seems to mention Osiris, which is why people are guessing Stargate kmaThink

probably not even the next year

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.
torpid sleet
#

double vanish build has terrible st and prio dmg

spice surge
#

It does not

#

But either way the overalls are extremly similar

#

So shrugeg

torpid sleet
#

well yea but if your doing higher keys you need that boss dmg

#

doing more aoe is most of the times useless

spice surge
#

No you dont

#

You need to time the key

royal lantern
spice surge
#

Theres been 20s done with bleed

#

Within like 10k dps of that build youre linking

royal lantern
#

^ that aswell

spice surge
#

It quite literally doesnt matter

#

You obviously seem to prefer this, so play it

torpid sleet
#

hmm okay yes i guess

royal lantern
#

if you have a arcane mage, you dont really play prio dmg

#

if you have a unholy dk + boomkin, you dont really want giga aoe and go more prio/boss dmg instead

#

high keys are comp based, not a "this is objectively better"

kind forge
burnt juniper
#

when you still have more prio than most other specs in the game

#

it just doesn't have the insanely busted prio cleave has

#

i'm playing both builds atm, and my. group wants me on bleed for some keys for iron wire

#

and i have to say running w/o a boomy, iron wire does a LOT of heavy lifting

spice surge
#

Its fairly similar prio during cds, since the double bleeds from DM does way more

#

But envenom does less so outside of DM youre not prioing as much

burnt juniper
#

yeah singular focus does hard work as bleed

shy axle
#

how do you do you aoe opener with that new build? just (if no mark yet) ambush -> gar (even without giving more cp/dmg, just for the energy?) -> fok and rupture until 5 -> Ct and normal hybrid splatter cleave or do you ditch gar completely and just use fok for everything

burnt juniper
#

ambush>fok>rupture>rupture>garrote

#

with cleave garrote only gives 1 cp

shy axle
#

whats the reason to use it at the end?

burnt juniper
#

so you would be doing like a 3-4 CP rupture if you did ambush>garrote

slate crown
#

Edit Mode is an example of them doing this well. Not making a claim to the rest of the conversation because holy hell this discourse but just want to say I disagree very specifically about Edit Mode. I think it was pretty good on release, and has only gotten better, with the first few iterations happening relatively quickly after releasing it.

burnt juniper
#

you want to get out your ruptures asap first

#

that's the most important thing

#

6 secs of IC is tight, so you gotta do ruptures first

haughty flicker
#

the only thing edit mode still needs is the ability to hide bars unless you mouseover them

#

then its great

slate crown
#

Snapshotting auras are extremely mild in comparison to things like liquid raid packs, the latter of which I believe to be more the problem blizzard wants to curb stomp.

slate crown
#

Like they even released it with the ability to import/export

shy axle
#

thank you @burnt juniper. Good to know it is still worth to cleave it once during IC after your ruptures, even without all the talents buffing it

burnt juniper
#

my main focus is on getting out 5-6 ruptures, anything else extra on top is gravy

potent raven
#

i do lose in aoe to ret paladins

#

but i guess its their whole thing to do aoe

burnt juniper
#

i'm usually on par or beating rets

#

while doing WAY more funnel

#

ret is the ultimate padding the meters dmg

potent raven
#

yep

#

r u playing/pshing again

Without speccing into CT how do we get more barrel damage on Rik Reverb?

My raid leader said "top sin rogues are doing up to 25% of their damage to barrels, no way its just good spawns."

To which looking at logs it seems its just good spawns with CS damage, but i guess im looking to improve my barrel damage

fresh kelp
#

!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.
haughty flicker
#
  • tanks moving boss onto barrels
obsidian marlin
#

it’s tank positioning for you

haughty flicker
#

tell your raid leader to look at how much of that damage is caustic

#

and realize its 100%

#

maybe some rupture snipes and poison bombs

little tulip
#

yeah having good pylon management is key but also top dps is what like 2.5-3m on rik?

#

its gonna mangle your rotation/ramp time most kills

royal lantern
little tulip
#

we do that 3x2 strat and those narnia barrels are just grrrr

royal lantern
haughty flicker
#

real

royal lantern
#

ignore that the ct dot on the boss is fully buffed and at 14seconds

solar wyvern
#

Obviously for the hybrid FI build

little tulip
#

garrote isn't great keypress

burnt juniper
burnt juniper
solar wyvern
#

On 3 target boss maybe

burnt juniper
#

that 1 global pressing garrote feels like turbo dogshit

solar wyvern
#

Like goren with 2 crushers

#

Thats a lot of energy so its probably worth

#

But at 5+ targets? Ehhh

burnt juniper
#

very true

potent raven
little tulip
#

i tried juggling garrote on first boss on priory cause lmao, its just energy regen

potent raven
#

u are forever here.

little tulip
#

idk it sounds like a good idea because sudden demise but sanguine and also hybrid zug zug or something

solar wyvern
#

For priory boss specifically I can see it since it replicates the damage so you're not "wasting dps"

#

But iirc in 2 target you dont garrote the other target

burnt juniper
#

yeah that boss shares dmg across both targets

#

so it's worth

solar wyvern
#

Also nowadays we pull in both lynx packs on the sides into that boss one by one so infinity funnel

little tulip
#

it does?

solar wyvern
#

Ye

#

Elaina shares health

burnt juniper
#

yes everything you do to both targets kills the boss faster

little tulip
#

thought it was just a dummy for fok etc

burnt juniper
#

it's not padding

solar wyvern
#

Yeah so caustic spatter, fok, poison bomb, ct

#

It all replicates

burnt juniper
solar wyvern
#

Its VERY scary on 20 I will say

burnt juniper
#

that boss takes a fucking eternity so you need all the extra help you can get

solar wyvern
#

Usually sap a potshot guy so we only have to deal with 1 during radiance aoe and leaps

burnt juniper
#

haha half the time someone breaks the cc

#

i dunno how

#

people can't control their fingers

#

get too itchy to try to top overall

solar wyvern
#

The second pack idk what we're doing yet, we play bear so it may just be a deal with 2 angle

#

Ursols the lynxs on boss and pray

burnt juniper
#

their leaps are scary

potent raven
#

add me on dsicord

#

prohpet

solar wyvern
burnt juniper
solar wyvern
#

Its really just potshots and using stuns on them during the frontal

#

So they dont leap

burnt juniper
#

oh they don't jump if you're all stacked? that's good to know

solar wyvern
#

Well if you're stacked on them specifically like the moleherds in dfc

burnt juniper
#

ahhhh ok

#

no wonder healers were getting sniped by them

solar wyvern
#

Ye you probably play full melee

#

So your rsham is crying

burnt juniper
#

hahaaa

#

i have a semi full team, we just don't have a full time healer yet

solar wyvern
#

Who are you playing with rn btw?

burnt juniper
#

i'm playing with friends who have never gotten title before

#

ret/enh/vdh

#

so i'm gonna be real, i'm behind because i'm playing with them

#

but i'm having fun

solar wyvern
#

Ik a lot of the 3500-3700 range players so just curious

#

On na anyway

burnt juniper
#

the ret you'll never have heard of

#

the enhance is mowthelawn

#

the vdh is pizzadh

solar wyvern
#

Ah I don't know them personally but i have seen them in lfg from time to time haha

burnt juniper
#

nice 🙂

#

i also have a lot of names in my head haha

solar wyvern
#

I just remember you posting a ss of a hunter I knew so i was curious if it was team or pug

burnt juniper
#

what i've been doing is getting IO from pugging and helping them get resil

scarlet orbit
solar wyvern
#

Ah yeah I've been getting a loooot of dms now that im resili 19

#

A blessing and a curse ig?

burnt juniper
#

huge!

solar wyvern

Im always happy to play tho so it doesn't bother me i just enjoy the game

golden loom

burnt juniper
#

it feels a bit shitty because i'm a title caliber player who's fallen behind, so i'm probably -100 IO than if i was full degen pugging like i used to

What io are u rn?

thanks !

burnt juniper
#

i would play bleed tbh, the cleave build feels really bad when your prio target dies in 5 seconds

solar wyvern
#

Thats 17s? Or 16s into 17s range?

burnt juniper
#

i have 17 resil

#

i'm working on 18

#

i have 18 dfc, ml and top timed so far

solar wyvern
#

Ah i c i c, yeah 18s is where things start getting punishing

#

Like a wipe will actually end the key

burnt juniper
#

yeah dude the jump from 17-18 feels quite big

solar wyvern
#

Yeah they changed scaling with guile being removed

#

So 18s are now last seasons 19s

#

The jump from 18 to 19 is even bigger

#

And 19 to 20 crazy

burnt juniper
#

BUT at least it hasn't started approaching that difficulty i felt from previous seasons doing title keys haha

burnt juniper
solar wyvern
#

20s are actual dps check

random gust
#

When playing bleed build, do I have to Garrote and Rupture to every single target ?

#

oh ~ thanks

burnt juniper
#

bro my group told me "we won't ever reach the point of needing to optimize for damage getting title"

#

and i was like

#

ok

#

this is talk from a perspective of never done title range keys

#

right here

solar wyvern
#

I mean lowkey optimization starts in 18s haha

#

You cant just hold w

burnt juniper
#

oh yeah i can feel it already

#

but at least it doesn't feel like ceiling territory yet

#

which is good

fresh kelp
#

i dont think u super need to optimize

burnt juniper
#

i think the highest i did was 15?

solar wyvern
#

I mean tbh last season was, "what mechanic does my tank flop to?"

burnt juniper
#

haha true

solar wyvern
#

And if they dont flop congrats you have title range

burnt juniper
#

but i can't wait for my group to reach the point of making it to the end of a key with very few mistakes and still not having enough time

solar wyvern
#

This season is MUCH more on the dps for sure

fresh kelp
#

i remember our eventual final NW our tank was still unaware the bleed guys put a max hp reducing debuff

burnt juniper
#

and then the sudden realization

solar wyvern
#

And healer to an extent

fresh kelp
#

so he was just tanking it with 30% max hp

solar wyvern
#

Lolll

burnt juniper
fresh kelp
#

and then our healer's gear broke on stitchflesh

#

and he healed it with 5 red pieces

well its good when u have people to play with

burnt juniper

that i've tried to quit pushing since like... S4 of DF

potent raven

id kill for a team

#

i quit for an entire season

s1 tww

#

now im back

#

to pugging and losing my mind

burnt juniper
#

and every time i say i'm quitting everyone's like "YEAH SURE OK BUDDY"

potent raven
#

damn ur gear is nuts tho

#

wtf are ur crafts so chaotic

#

vers haste haste mast

burnt juniper
#

oh that's my bleed gear set

#

with giga haste

potent raven
#

do u craft full mast/crit

#

with the cleave then

burnt juniper
#

i have like 3 different sets

#

1 for sub, 2 for sin

potent raven
#

iirc yeah bleed simmed haste

#

but i havent simmed the cleave

#

just got all mast/crit

rotund oak
#

vers/mast for m+

solar wyvern
#

Crit mast is fine, but for hybrid versa value goes way up

rotund oak
#

works for sub as well

drifting charm
#

Not sure why I didn’t think about extra haste for bleed….

rotund oak
#

😉

potent raven
#

no vers sims low for me

#

i sim like 1,7m st atm

solar wyvern
#

Wayyyy too much crit

rotund oak
#

why would

#

you craft

y not

Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:

solar wyvern
#

Your priory is probably giving you crit instead of mastery just from eyeballing your stats

potent raven
#

nahh

#

ofc it gives me mastery hah

#

i mean i could swap out a ring

drifting charm
potent raven
#

for vers

#

idk how to sim stats

#

im not ognna lie

solar wyvern
#

If your pacemaker procs what is your crit value? Cause it can cap you higher than your mastery and make signet give crit instead

rotund oak
#

rather craft a ring instead

potent raven
#

thats true

#

yea ill swap a ring then

#

for vers/mast or something

solar wyvern
#

You'd probably gain value by doing that ye

golden loom
#

what are your raitings

solar wyvern
#

Versa very good with cleave, haste very good for st/bleed build

little tulip
#

charrend have you gotten rid of cyrces? its rookie q but yeah

#

p sure its with us all season but making sure

rotund oak
#

just sim it

#

I will finally be able to drop cyrces tomorrow when I can buy myth track jastors 😍

rotund oak
#

vs a myth track ring

potent raven
#

ok yea

#

went like this

solar wyvern
#

I got rid of circes on turbo boost day 1

#

Haha

potent raven
#

super vers heavy ring

little tulip
#

ye double myth was -2k dps loss no way

rotund oak
#

aint no way

solar wyvern
#

Must be low mastery so circes is compensating if i had to guess

rotund oak
#

yeah

golden loom
#

I only had 1 myth track ring and crafted has been like -0,5% or something for me

rotund oak
#

only explanation actually

little tulip
#

nope mastery is like...63%, it's def my highest stat

#

lemme see if server is still on

rotund oak
#

it feels wrong to me that u crafted a 2nd wpn instead of a ring tbh but whatever

nocturne quail
#

i could only replace with jastor

rotund oak
#

im gonna open an ice tea to calm down

#

its taunting me

buff assa.

little tulip
#

haven't simmed a vers mastery ring but that might be replacement, boots are crit/vers cause lmao outlaw but

#

sorry no item tags but its close tm to wowhead bis

solar wyvern
#

Oh at that ilvl you probably keep circes. But its always best to just sim it

little tulip
#

yeah figured

And im gonna pray your stuff is enchanted and it just doesn't show on ui haha

#

when playing bleed build, if the mobs have about 30% hp left, do I have to still apply bleed to all mobs? or should I just focus on prio target and do the rotation ?

solar wyvern
#

Yeah reapply bleeds

drifting charm
#

Oh shit…. Yeah I don’t have a myth piece and am fully upgraded at 674.8 (I wanna throw up)- and not using it.

Should prolly put it back on

solar wyvern
#

Put it in raidbots my boy

#

The robot knows all

random gust
#

if I don'y have ambush, should I reapply each mobs ?

drifting charm
#

I feel like it sims circies big wrong tho?

solar wyvern
#

No it shouldn't

golden loom
#

just have the correct gems in and it sims as it should

drifting charm
#

Okay, just got talked in to it simming it wrong by a buddy I suppose.

solar wyvern

#

thanks

it's "700ilevel" but yeah raw stats probablly outweigh mastery buff it provides

during clash did you stand between bosses and fok? lose deathmark etc

no I chose one side

yeah go be the sandwich meat and uh fok spam

don't run cheat death etc and use defensives so you dont grief too hard if you eat a hit

ahh mk so you just do that when they are together

yeh that was hella sloppyu

Lmao

#

First thing I noticed

native turret
#

If you outta sync your cooldowns you will do tank damage

molten willow
#

true

red schooner
#

Then your next set of cooldowns was like, 3 and a half minutes in

haughty flicker
#

Step 1 to learning assa: deathmark shiv kingsbane

red schooner
#

So you're just delaying CDs massively when on that boss you can just send them

haughty flicker
#

Step 2: ?

native turret
#

You should be sending cooldowns on just about every fight instantly

red schooner
#

That's the main thing I'd look into

haughty flicker
#

Well

little tulip
#

we don't vanish in raid except to move deathmark now right?

haughty flicker
#

Get bleeds up

#

IO know im not supposed to but sometimes accident

Use envenom

If you send cooldowns appropriately and keep your cpm up your dam will skyrocket

Then go into cds

#

Yes vanish is only used to move your dot

#

hello sexy assassin rogues individuals

#

MA, you vanish, VV, no vanish

ok so for that I just need to sync better and not fumble those

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

amber brook

^ thats why

#

Confused on why you say to fok on cauldron

golden loom
#

so u pretty much only FoK on 2 targets when u have a clear the witness proc

amber brook
#

one time only though

golden loom
#

yeah

The above guy said fok spam which i got confused by

Get rid of that ambush and you'll be fine

no yeah it's just caustic

i only have a 54 parse on mythic cauldron for some reason

Nahhh we just don't die

yeah I would also hate my dps if they are feinting on CD blowing away energy for no reason

shy creek
#

Deathmark - Shiv - KB all in a row

golden loom
#

and then when first shiv runs out you shiv again

shy creek
#

Then you cover the last 7 seconds of deathmark with your second charge of shiv

molten willow
#

OHHHHHHHHH

#

ok that makes sense

native turret

Is it viable to run the Hybrid M+ build in raid

native turret

No

good point thought i should just let the healers do more work

molten willow
#

gotcha what about bleed build?

native turret
#

I'm actually never hitting feint on reclear now

golden loom
#

no

little tulip
#

yea

golden loom

u play raid build in raid kekdog

native turret
#

If they ask why I'm pointing to uwu

golden loom
molten willow

You know what I miss in M+

red schooner
native turret
#

Going cheat death and unbinding feint

molten willow
#

BFA rogue had that one thing where your FoK would echo off other targets

native turret
#

Trueee

shy creek
molten willow
#

I wish they could bring that back in

molten willow
#

I jsut need to stop fukin up my rotation

native turret
#

Assa raid build kinda brain dead

little tulip
#

i mean evasion is still free dr every 2 minutes

#

so...just unbind feint

golden loom
#

also I press feint, but idk why you would ever run elusivness in raid

little tulip
#

:nodders:

golden loom
#

like stuff is AoE

molten willow
#

I am very comfortable with the m+ build

native turret
molten willow
#

its mainly what I do

native turret
#

Raid leader pats me on head

#

Calls me cute names

golden loom
#

but like what non AoE things are there to feint in raid even

#

unless ur tanks are dead and you are feinting tank busters kekdog

molten willow

Fein Fein Fein

spice surge
#

But besides though pretty much nothing

golden loom
#

u know what else reduces that damage

#

dont stand in fire

potent raven
#

i just died to last boss in floodgate

#

appaently if u stay right in the boss hitbox

#

the aoe hits u instantly

amber brook
#

cheat death once it procs

potent raven
#

never knew

shy creek
little tulip
#

oh fun fact you can cloak the sparks on floodgate last

#

most of you probably knew that

native turret
#

Cheat death doesn't even stop a lot of the one shots.

little tulip
#

just stand there and absorb them for the homies

potent raven
#

cheat death is so bad in keys

golden loom
#

we are talking about raid

potent raven
#

sorry

amber brook
#

Survive a stix bomb just cause you're built diff

spice surge
#

Some keys cheat is fine

#

Like DFC or workshop

#

Or rather, elusiveness doesnt do much in those

#

So might aswell play cheat

potent raven
#

pull after 1st boss in dfc

#

w/ the big mobs aoes

#

feel like elu is nice there

spice surge
#

Why

#

20% extra damage reduction on evasion

#

Doesnt do much

true tapir
spice surge
#

No

#

Elusiveness is only doing something

#

If feint doesnt work

potent raven
#

nahh needs an insane healer lmao

spice surge
#

Its not 40% + 20%

#

Its 20% when the 40% doesnt work

#

So if the 40% already works (which it does on everything barring stray casts in dfc)

little tulip
#

reduces non area of effect damage by 20% sounds good

royal lantern
#

and the 40% work against most things you dont think it would work against

spice surge
#

Elusiveness feint does nothing

amber brook
#

TIL this

royal lantern
#

that would be a mage talent

amber brook
#

def

native turret
#

Just play outlaw and have feint going whole key tbh

spice surge
#

Well as outlaw you have to play cheat so you can press killing spree garf

royal lantern
#

like, feints dr works against a good chunk of things where the application is "aoe" allready

#

even the dot part

amber brook
#

gotta cast it b4 the cast or does during the dot work as well

spice surge
#

Its just random if a spell is counted as aoe or not

#

Bee boss in meaderys big aoe pushback? Not aoe
Let it hail on last boss meadery? Not aoe

royal lantern
#

you said the same thing

little tulip
#

idk at the start of the season it made sense to press feint more, elu has that writing that makes it sound like mini dr button

honest oxide
#

is the dungeon slice sim for ass worth running?

little tulip
#

also all of last season

native turret
honest oxide
#

i know it varies spec to spec

spice surge
#

And the zaps on last boss floodgate are aoe

#

And the dot from soaking orbs in priory also aoe

Hey, quick question, probs a stupid one too as new to assa, during kingsbane, is the goal just to get out as many envenoms at max CP as possible?

deep breach
#

!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.

quick question, i look on some bosses on ST rogues get 3-3.3M dps but i sim a hypothetical full biss gear 684 with raid buffs and only get around 2.5M sooo... Where do people get that 600-700k difference from? raidbot didnt sim excecute phase from Zoldyck o raid buff from reputation?

subtle tundra
#

in raid?

steady swan
#

yes

subtle tundra
#

maybe the 12% damage buff that everyone gets

haughty flicker
steady swan
#

i use the 12% manual, and get 2.8m from 2.5m

golden loom
#

but also, raid fights arent just a patchwerk fight

nocturne quail
#

There’s a bunch of factors that could be in play

steady swan
subtle tundra
#

nothing weird

golden loom

also if you look at the top logs, and then you look at sim average its gonna be a bit skewed

Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:
