you can for sure get the muscle memory part down, but man
that spec causes like decision fatigue like NO OTHER

#

I hit my limit at like 5 dungeons and I gota take a break

bronze pike
#

also puts the spec into a corner

#

cause

#

i dont think theyre dropping that offhand mace for anything until super mythic bis offhand weapon

royal lantern
bronze pike
#

so imagine

#

using

#

until way into season 3

#

a 658 weapon

red schooner
#

Is... Is it even a good DPS increase?

kindred breach
#

Yeah

#

I got 2% i think

#

from it

red schooner
#

Or is this some .1% minmax

royal lantern
kindred breach
#

vs a 684 dagger

red schooner
royal lantern
#

so ofc it will be

bronze pike
#

2%

royal lantern
#

cus "Outlaw" and "Most Degen shit possible" go hand-in-hand

bronze pike
#

cause its uncapped

royal lantern
bronze pike
#

vanish resets the weapon to proc again

#

since it takes you out of combat

#

outlaw is the only rogue spec that vanishes every 20 seconds BearSmile

red schooner
#

What in the actual fuck

#

Wait so do you have to weaponswap every 20 seconds

bronze pike
#

no

royal lantern
#

cant wait for the next aniversary event, and the krosus neck is BiS for outlaw once again

kindred breach
#

Nah

golden loom
#

well its a m+ thing

bronze pike
#

you weapon swap for st

kindred breach
#

You just macro it for st

#

i meant the other weap

bronze pike
#

anyways tldr

#

dont sweat it with outlaw. enjoy it and play with brain off until you get the basics and muscle memory down

#

then you minmax the shit out of it

nova kelp
bronze pike
#

or minmax until a level its still fun

#

i remeber when it was a .7% dps loss or something idr and idc to bte on cd

#

when your didnt have ruthless precision

#

BearSmile dont shoot gun on gun spec pls

red schooner
#

Yeah, I'm just staying on sin/sub fuck that noise

silent compass
#

Did assass get buffed or am i looking at an old thing

quiet oar
#

No

#

they were not buffed

sharp viper
#

wishful thinking NODDERS

nova kelp
#

we got a MASSIVE buf

#

if you play 1 button assist

quiet oar
#

We are not demo warlocks

sharp viper
#

demo locks simming over 3M dps in s2 but being lowest performing lock spec is still funny to me

quiet oar
#

Just use 1 Button

#

and you lose 5%

sharp viper
#

movement still exists and kills demo dmg

#

bring back instant hog

quiet oar
#

Thats true

#

Just have enough evokers

#

to chain spatial

red schooner
#

Just assign one designated warlock healer, keep warlock in one place

hearty reef
#

The what????????

#

What he on????????

red schooner
#

The horse game

balmy condor
#

the horse game

red schooner
#

The horse game

#

It's the canon name

balmy condor
#

umamusume ironically one of the better gacha's I've played

#

I used to be big on summoners war

#

feels kinda similar to that but the text story is a nice touch

grim jay
#

I wouldnt play a game called umamusume

balmy condor
#

summon rates are also really good tbh because the rng is in the grind more so than the characters

#

but like

#

surprisingly robust and well thought out gacha game

#

I'm pleasantly surprised

quiet oar
#

What happened to good old Maplestory WHisp

#

#notmywhisp

red schooner
#

How is it as a f2p experience? I know that some gachas are better than others for that sort of thing

balmy condor
#

I still play that too

balmy condor
#

the pay to win is like you get to summon a mass amount of cards and get all your shit set up but then you hit the grind wall anyway

#

and you can't just pay to win through the wall

#

so seems better than most

hearty reef
#

balmy condor
#

there's definitely p2w involved but the p2w is mostly there to ensure you get the good horses/supports as a foundation

grim jay
#

Sounds like its bad

humble verge
#

wtf first try lol :D

grim jay
#

Nike wanted p2w

grim jay
humble verge
balmy condor
#

Its a gacha game, insane p2w is expected

humble verge
#

now to get the new one

grim jay
#

Oh wait is the droprate Event live?

humble verge
#

yes

#

this week

grim jay
#

Gotta log in and farm some stuff with all my chars

#

Invincible for example

#

The legendary items got buffed aswell right? Is that worth it?

steel ridge
#

imagine farming mounts

quiet oar
grim jay
steel ridge
#

blizzard be like: hey here is some alledgedly buffed droprates for unicorns, trust

grim jay
#

Do you seriously think I farm mounts then?

grim jay
steel ridge
#

😄

quiet oar
#

you do know

#

So yes

#

Yes i do think that

grim jay
# quiet oar I mean

I think the only mounts ive tried to farm for like 8 runs were invincible and the horse in kara

steel ridge
# grim jay That sounds like some tinfoil stuff

we all know how they do numbers...(decimal errors) it could very well be that the droprate is actually 10 times lower than before... has never happened before, right. RIGHT? but well if the fomo inducing methods work, good for them.

#

its a nice bonus for people who make it their main content to grind for mounts, tho

#

not gonna make me suddenly wake up and go: "yeah i really need to visit ICC!"

#

also, the chances are 50:50 anyway, anyone with basic math knows that!

royal lantern
#

if you saw the event and think its not a real increase, idk man

#

getting a "guildmate got X mount" message every 10min yesterday lol

quiet oar
#

50/50

#

Either it happens or it doesnt

steel ridge
quiet oar
#

Its all an simulation

#

You will wake up soon

#

its 2010

#

we got some nice buff

normal mist
#

My problem as LS is that many of it's attacks are continuous AoE

royal lantern
#

gotta evade instead of counter everything

normal mist
#

I parry one instance of DMG and get cooked a second later

royal lantern
#

its good that not EVERYTHING can be cheesed with counters tbh

normal mist
#

Yeah 😦

#

The swordsman in me tried to Parry everything

#

Pure cinema

I swear to God so many wow players would enjoy MH world and forward

royal lantern
#

best thing about the patch is weapon tmog

#

finally no more ugly green discs as weapons

grim jay
#

Like dungeons

#

hunting a monster or two can feel like a dungeon

#

running through maps of hostile wild monsters

#

with the target as the boss

#

you're in a group with different roles

grim jay
#

Isnt there mostly just whatever you are hunting in the map?

static glacier
#

there's other monsters too

grim jay
#

I played Monster Hunter World back then and the stuff besides your main target was kinda eh

static glacier
#

if they interefere mid-fight you can end up in 1v2s or 1v3s

#

it's fun

red schooner

I have MH:W but it remains unplayed

normal mist
#

World was a great entry title for me

#

I've put 1000+h into it

#

Then 300+ into rise/sunbreak

#

And now nearing 300 in wilds

amber brook
#

How badly optimized is it currently

nova kelp
#

wilds runs fine for me

normal mist
#

It's slowly getting better, this update fixed some things.
But it still isn't perfect afaik from what I see on Reddit posts.
I have a good PC so I barely notice some problems

#

One of the main issues is that it kinda requires framegen

amber brook
#

fake frames?

normal mist
#

Which is treated as a red flag

#

Yes

nova kelp
#

I haven't played the new shit in wilds recently, been busy playing darktide

#

but I clocked a few just over 2 min kills on tempered ark a bit back

normal mist
#

Yeah those are speedrunner levels

nova kelp
#

yessir

#

that's the goal

normal mist
#

Some new monsters have a LOT of HP like 8star gore magala

nova kelp
#

I enjoy speed running in wilds and souls

normal mist
#

I wish. The only time I tried to be faster and faster was in world, dual blades VS alatreon

#

Fastest time was 10 minutes something

#

Good gameplay

Jundi's plater is goated, simple smooth and each mob is colored for interrupt/prio kill/higher health than usual etc...

#

use his profile on each of my toons

#

not just current season stuff too, all old seasons, old expansions

balmy condor
#

Pretty sure cev’s and mine both use that coloring

#

It’s pretty standard for platers

nova kelp
#

I've used Cevs for some time

#

plater preference is weird though

#

changing shit once you're used to it is borderline heretical

Been playing with jundies for a while now and I cant believe that i ever played keys without coloured nameplates

#

And I will complain loudly if blizzard doesnt incorporate it when they purge addons garf

nova kelp
#

playing keys WIHTOUT colourned nameplates is unironically gimping yourself

spice surge
#

Especially something like assa where prio target is so important

#

Just pressing the purple one and knowing thats the highest HP one is so much easier

#

(or whatever colour other profiles use(

golden loom
#

Did one key on PTR without any addons and the name plates with every single poison and bleed and whatever else effect made me sick

#

20 debuffs on a target nameplate when you press deathmark garf

hey guys, just wanted to share with you my dry shiv WA i made. Nothing fancy and it helps me out alot when/if im tunneling. Hope someone gets some use out of it. https://wago.io/EVNUxH_Cg

Basic WA that tells you when you have a dry shiv window available.

as assa we run deadly poiosn or instant poison?

you always use the poisons you talent into

deadly

#

never use instant

#

ever ever ever

coral ibex
#

the first node for assa is deadly poison

#

they should make bleed application more easier with assa, I don't know..mouse over bleeds is not the thing, or spreading to 2 more targets as it is for now cuz realistically you can't spread all the bleeds in an M+ pull which has more than 5 targets 80-90% of the time

royal lantern
#

but you dont spread more then 5 bleeds most of the time...?

#

and how much more easy then IC can you make multidotting lol

icy geyser
#

well make it like sp, when we shadow crash, he dots all the mobs in a 8 yards aoe

#

xD

#

or that would make us OP?

nocturne quail
#

We should have the bleed part of IC always

ocean sluice
icy geyser
#

haven't played yet assa at high level

balmy condor
#

This convo again

nocturne quail
#

Sub has shitty IC perma but sin is the bleed spec

icy geyser
#

but at low keys 10-12, most of the time, I am under tank at dps

royal lantern
icy geyser
#

haughty flicker
red schooner
#

Just

#

Play bleed build

#

And win

nocturne quail
#

That’s a aSKILL ISSUE

icy geyser
#

hybrid build

royal lantern
red schooner
#

There's your issue lmao

ocean sluice
red schooner
#

Swap to bleed, easy dps boost in low keys

icy geyser
#

then what am I doing wrong? pull starts, garrote and rupture from stealth, spread to 5 targets, ct > envenom > caustic > cd's and focus down the main target

main bridge
#

there is a lot more to the spec than that

royal lantern
#

like, assa in low-mid keys is

garrote garrote->Rupture rupture->get 5cp crimson tempest->everythung dies from sudden demise and you are top dps lol

main bridge
#

you shouldn't blame a skill issue on the spec

royal lantern
#

did some +10keys with guildmate rat alts and stuff gets executed at 25% hp lol

icy geyser
#

and I do the exact opener

#

everytime I can, but at the end of the dungeon, I have under 2m overall

royal lantern
#

play bleed

#

simple as that

ocean sluice
royal lantern
#

if you play a build based around cleaving from a big target for aoe, ofc it will suck in keys where stuff dies fast

icy geyser
haughty flicker
#

i mean hybrid wont be losing to tank in 10-12s

#

even if you're playing with fucking echo raiders

balmy condor
#

Doing somethin wrong for sure

ocean sluice
#

post a log

icy geyser
#

let me see if I got any log from my runs

iron carbon
#

Do you maintain spatter?

icy geyser
#

no logs unfortunately.

haughty flicker
#

rupture that high on hybrid looks off

#

but i havent played that build this season so could be wrong

icy geyser
haughty flicker
#

without actually seeing what you're casting cant tell much from details other than what we already know

#

which is that something is wrong

icy geyser
#

and the fact that I was 22 ilvl under the rest of the gp

ocean sluice
#

still

haughty flicker
#

well the ilvl certainly doesnt help

icy geyser
#

why can't I see the logs from my runs? it says "the log comes from a leaderbord.." or smth like that

balmy condor
#

Cause it wasn’t logged

haughty flicker
#

someone needs to actually log and upload it

#

which few people do for keys

normal mist
#

If you're driving a Renault Clio and your homies are riding Lambos, you'll certainly not do as good as them

icy geyser
#

how can I enable logging for my keys?

balmy condor
#

/combatlog

icy geyser
balmy condor
#

It turns logging on/off

#

So doesn’t need to really be at the start

Getting Started with Warcraftlogs https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-to-use-warcraft-logs-6341
Logging your combat is a very powerful tool, and the main way of finding mistakes and improving yourself. Logging your raid, mythic+, or even just when you hit a dummy can be great way to learn!
Here's some common things to look at for rogues:

Checking your resources/overcap: Table -> Resources -> Energy/Combo Points from the dropdown
Buff Uptime and trigger amount such as adr/envenom/symbols: Table -> Buffs
Checking casts: Timeline -> Casts (shows sequencing) or Table -> Casts (for cast overview)

icy geyser
#

still, I was expecting to do at least 2.5m at this ilvl. dunno, as you said, I have to log a run and provide you guys the log

#

I have a rookery 12 if any of you want to run

#

interesting pitch

haughty flicker
#

no keys this month

#

only mount farming

#

thought that said this bish

icy geyser
#

if I use the command /combatlog it will remain on for all my chars or the specific one I am logged on at that time?

balmy condor
#

logged in

haughty flicker
#

or just be lazy like me and use loggerhead to just always be logging

iron carbon
#

I use r.io for logging

Or scl yes

# icy geyser

idk if details fixed their garbage ass code for aura uptimes but just based on this it seems like you have 88% uptime across the dungeon on rupture, but then only 66% on garrote which is insanely weird cause they should both be basically as high as possible, and then 40% on crimson tempest which is also strange cause if 88/90% is the full dungeon, 40% uptime would mean you spent over half the dungeon in single target, which simply cannot be true in a 12

haughty flicker
#

i always log but never upload anyway

#

stonks

balmy condor
#

and the deathstalker mark uptime being just as high as crimson tempest

#

sounds

#

insanely cursed

#

so

#

definitely looks like skill issue

#

why or how is unclear

#

but the math ain't mathin

rain berry
#

gallywix mount will drop 3 times per kill until new season or next expansion?

balmy condor
#

I wanna say new season

#

but idk what the drop rate goes down to

rain berry
#

okey ty

iron carbon
#

I mean shouldn't be up the 5 first global of pull as hybrid

balmy condor
#

2 garrotes 2 ruptures and a CT?

#

75 might be reasonable idk

#

but if the pulls are short enough to tank the caustic uptime then where tf is the sudden demise damage

#

nothings adding up

balmy condor
#

really?

#

3 drops?

#

doesn't it go down after the season and then again at the end of expac

drifting cloud
#

hasnt before

#

remember cheese farming jaina sales on absolute rats for under 10min runs

half light
#

damn I'm gonna relay that info to my guild so we farm the mount next season

steel snow
#

is there any plater script that changes colour when I apply rupture and garrote

nocturne quail
#

Rupture and garrote ? Maybe

#

Def rupture only

steel snow
#

for example normal mob colour yellow when I use garrote its blue when I use rupture its red and when I use both its purple

icy geyser
#

after opener I only spread ct and rupture

fresh kelp
#

The zeross effect

balmy condor
#

so you're just

#

dropping gar off your main target and shit?

icy geyser
#

actually I got this build from shindig

icy geyser
balmy condor
#

it's just a basic ass build

#

okay well that should still be the same uptime then

#

like if you're maintaining on main target, you have the same uptime as rupture

#

but it's not

#

so you're dropping it

icy geyser
balmy condor
#

probably yes

icy geyser
#

I'll have to improve on that

#

with scl I still have to upload logs on warcraftlogs?

balmy condor
#

yes

#

warcraftlogs is a third party

#

you have to get the data from the game to warcraftlogs

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.
icy geyser
#

with bleed build you have to manually spread the bleeds?

shy axle
#

if you come out of stealth 1 press will dot 3 targets, just use it twice/trice on the same mob and it will spread intelligently

#

if you do not come out of stealth rupture 5 mobs and ct, do not use gar if it is not buffed in aoe

#

for example, in ToP first pull, I want to prio target on boss and use shiv on bloodthorn to remove enrage

#

if there is no other class that can remove it

haughty flicker
#

ideally you never do that anyway

#

but even if you did then you wouldnt want tea on that shiv in the first place

#

bc it isnt buffing anything

icy geyser
#

but if you add a mod key to it, then it should only shiv, without tea, right?

haughty flicker
#

no clue

As its one of your main cooldowns

and with the bleed build when do we use our shiv, durin deathmark?

main bridge
#

reading the guide would really help you

icy geyser
#

in the bleed section of the guide, haven't found anything saying when to use it, only that you can replace lightweight shiv with other talents if u want

spice surge
#

Also if youre playing bleed shiv hits 8 targets, so a focus macro wouldnt be necessary anyway

where my last dungeon was half the overall

half light
buoyant herald
#

same on bosses, bleed will do way more aoe until you get into higher keys where things live long enough for KB to always get full duration

#

so ~17s

half light
#

I've been using the kb mythic+ build and at this point it's been ingrained already, I don't remember my dps overall but I didn't feel it bad

#

ohh I see

buoyant herald
#

like the guide says

polar rampart
#

its too hard to get a full kb on anything below like a 16

icy geyser
#

true. I was getting 2-3m kb...I don't know, how much can you get in high keys?

buoyant herald
#

it's more around being able to set up and then get your full 14s of KB on a mob which is like...~20 seconds total

#

you could probably pull a log, idk

#

in raid my KBs do like 12-15m

icy geyser
#

where does scl pull logs?

buoyant herald
#

looks like zeross is getting like 8-11m KBs in keys

#

sounds about right

#

2-3m per cast is very low tbh but not sure what ilvl you are

half light
#

yeah I also do like 13m per kb cast in raid

#

im 679 rn

buoyant herald
#

that seems about right

I'm having a hard time tracking Kingsbane to use off cd in m+, anyone know if theres a weakaura for this

icy geyser
#

kekw, that was it

#

i was just clicking it

buoyant herald
icy geyser
#

just so I understand where I can improve

buoyant herald
#

you don't really play around it but i suspect your crimson tempests have maybe fallen off before they die? everyone's dps was fairly low (ilvl things probably) so mobs weren't dying that fast either

#

usually you get big demise damage in lower keys because things die before your first ruptures and CT has fallen off, so it procs with good value on everything

After you consume the 3 stacks OR when the target dies, you gain "Darkest night" buff, which makes your next envenom at full cps (7) do extra dmg, 100% crit and apply the 3 marks again

but i also just run it as sub

burst 15m with the overcharged buff

you can get 60 gilded crests per week from delves now, it's actually pretty worth for gearing alts

waxen oyster

yeah thats just the weekly cap

you can get 15 runed per run no limit on any t11

ye i did that on my dk, brain off and farmed skittering breach as blood

then convert to gilded huh

yup

depending on ur class/spec, it can be really time efficient too

because dps bran’s damage

on blood i could pull the whole delve and kill it in one go

you just tricks bran and pull

Hey guys, i'm new to assa, and my aoe dps is pretty good, i did a +10 floodgate to test the spec and i did like 4.27m overall (670 ilvl) i feel is ok, but my dps on single target boos is very bad, most like around 1.3-1.5m i rlly struggle with energy i most of the time no energy, do you have some advice? Do I have to pool energy a lot outside KB or DM window?

west jolt
fading vessel
#

i'm running hybrid 2x vanish

#

master assasin

west jolt
#

hybrid build then, you should definitely more than 1.3m dps on ST, but that could be a lot of obvious circumstances like sims/trinkets

fading vessel
normal mist
#

we sacrifice ST talents for AoE

#

Also, you could/should be running bleed build in low keys

fading vessel
#

it was only test to do higher keys later

#

that's why i want to improve my st^^

west jolt
#

im assuming you always have DM/KB/Shiv/Tea available for opening combo?

fading vessel
#

its true sometimes i had no DM

#

so i open with opener into kb

#

like it was my first key, and yeah i think i have maybe to hold my cd's for bosses

#

i come from outlaw so cooldown management is not a thing haha

west jolt
#

1.3m is a bit low, for 670ilvl with hybrid built especially...I'd look at some videos and maybe study the rotation a bit more
you also mentioned you're energy hungry, which is a little confusing to me because it's the opposite, I usually have more than enough energy because I don't always press Envenom if I have the previous Envenom buff already

fading vessel
#

i have to always pool energy on the buff?

#

maybe i'm spamming too much evenom then

#

do i have to pool also in KB? or in KB i send as much evenom as possible?

normal mist
#

you spam everytime you use cds

pure moth
#

You'd pool a bit before you hit kb

fading vessel
#

I also try to pool 150energy before intering kb

normal mist

there are 3 builds on wowhead though and 2 of them have kingsbane

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

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.
nova kelp
#

I mean like you COMMONLY have to constantly refresh your bleeds every single engagement

#

before that's the case, bleed will just fuck

#

and honestly you CAN just run bleed forever

#

fucking good build

marsh ferry
#

people doing 20s with bleed, it's solid

tall pumice
#

im good with bleed and top damage easily im just lacking a little in ST boss since my energy depletes easily

nova kelp
#

very chill, very easy, no worries

#

yeah ST is a bummer, but that's just how it be for some M+ builds

normal mist
#

the faster the energy depletes, the faster you have time to pick up a cup of coffee or an energy drink and take a sip

tall pumice
#

i guess ill just do a switcharoo for other content

nova kelp
#

the only dungeon I switch out of bleed for was rookery really, coz that last boss is a fuckwit

tall pumice
#

does it have the most health of all ST bosses

nova kelp
#

if you don't make your mark inside the damage phases you just extend the fight length by like a billion years automatically

tall pumice
#

i swear i always take so long on that'

#

also single targ, when i simmed it told me it kept up crimson tempest about 95% of the time, so should i still prioritise keeping it up over envenom?

can the guide tell me how to stop runnning out of energy

polar rampart
#

have multiple targets

prisma monolithBOT
#

Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.

Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.
