overall in premades/organized groups ye

balmy condor
#

I mean even in pugs

#

imagine a shitter rogue having to juggle kingsbane + dm

thorn thorn
#

Bro tried to put an emoji in his disc name

balmy condor
#

just to do bleed ST

thorn thorn
#

💀

winged sun
#

hybrid is only crazy good in dawnbreaker and thats only if u play it correctly

winged sun
balmy condor
#

literally just 6x the effort for the same result

#

is diabolical

thorn thorn
#

Its diabolical behavior

mighty vine
#

but i want to feel special

thorn thorn
#

Then you play bleed and invite an arcane mage and an aug so you can do top damage

#

You may not time the key

#

But you will be top damage

gritty laurel
#

ret and boomkin are both pretty special, you could try those

balmy condor
thorn thorn
#

The guide is keeping the truth from us

#

The .1% that you will lose 12% over

somber sparrow
#

so as i continue trying to understand fatebound mechanics. vanishing is for double jeopardy, is there a reason to hold vanish after kingsbane (should i shiv, DM, CB+KB, mutilate, envenom, vanish, get to 5+, envenom), or should i shiv DM, CB+KB, vanish, envenom, get to 5+, envenom) Is there any leeway either way or is it rigid

thorn thorn
#

I can say with 100% certainty that the boomkin people are a morbillion % more helpful than rets

#

They love to over complicate their spec

jaunty kayak
#

thank you.. thats what im basically mostly doing rn.. just build and wait for pandemic envenom/bleeds and not spam my energy away.. was enough for some nice logs tho 😅 .. i was just wondering whether im losing damage/playing not optimally by doing so

dont say it

thorn thorn
#

How many days

humble verge
#

nah it was just a cool video i found

#

i slept last night

thorn thorn
#

lol

steel orchid
#

Obvious answer probably but Fatebound is still best ST in raid without the new tier set right?

humble verge
#

yes

#

well

#

depends

gritty laurel
#

it's best on 5/8 fights and you might as well also play it on araz until bugs are fixed

humble verge
#

or just change to sub for araz

steel orchid
#

Nah, gear too suboptimal for sub. ty for the info, Fatebound should do until I get lucky

humble verge
#

whar

spice surge
#

Unless your gear is entirely haste your sub gear would be fine

steel orchid
#

It was mostly a jokey kind of answer, I'm probably mad rusty since I haven't played sub since the start of S2 and I'm kinda salty about not getting 4set, so I don't wanna sacrifice time away from trying to run keys to derust on the dummy

spice surge
#

Thats fair

winged sun
#

i raid with sub gear no cappy

#

u just swap few pieces for assa any off piece

#

and ur fine

distant plinth
#

Swap rings and neck and you should be fine

chilly marsh
#

I just got 4p tier does sin still works in m+? i know its very buggy but with sanguine blades giving more dmg is it good? or just go sub for now?

winged sun
#

sin is still good

#

giga inflated in low keys as usual tho

#

so u can say sin is always op in low keys

#

and its good in high keys

chilly marsh
#

playing mostly 10-13s here

winged sun
#

ye its giga there

#

sudden demise big boom dmg

#

just bleed everything u see on ur screen and thank me later

chilly marsh
#

i guess not using momentum of despair makes the bugs not that bad then

wide berry
#

hmmmm

winged sun
#

ye i get the same

austere fog
#

is deathstlalker still viable?? or if palyed correctly fatebound is doing way better damage then DS

winged sun
#

if thats an m+ sim just consider it sim bait

#

and dont use it

#

thats my recommendation

#

its an annoying trinket to deal with

west crown
#

What is causing this guy to double flip coins on rupture in the opener?

wide berry
#

its simming higher in ST too is the weird shit

weary spear
#

It happens automatically doesn’t it

#

From the hero tree

west crown
#

Right but mine didn't do it in my log

#

I read the hero talent

wide berry
west crown
#

Mine has nothing 🙁

#

That was 5 cps

weary spear
#

Dumb question but it’s a fatebound log right

#

You’re opening with ambush maybe just DS habit

wide berry
#

did you turn the fatebound machine off and back on?

#

the other guy opened with ambush too...

#

tf

thorn thorn
#

Fatebound broke

west crown
wide berry
#

just zero gain

#

ah

weary spear
#

^

austere fog
#

is Deathstalker better then fatebound when you have full gear dn 4 pc??

analog field
#

maybe less than 5cps

austere fog
#

or is Fatebound still outsimming DS

west crown
#

I checked resources it was 6

Unless you are having cds at the beginning of a boss fight and getting a fight long enough to cast cds again. Your are doing something in 2M range Pure ST

yeah for whole is very low for everyone though

Sudden demise

thorn thorn
west crown
#

There is like 5 envenoms in the first 30 seconds no coin flip

#

I didn't even look past that

#

I even checked resources for CPs

wide berry
#

LOL your shits just broken

#

source code on fire trying to check for the coins

humble verge
#

we are gaming

#

maybe ill redo my mog

#

for once

west crown
weary spear
#

It’s less likely that it’s a bug

#

More likely it’s not being tracked correctly

ornate gate
#

do we send netherprism on pull? or should i wait for my next dm

austere fog
#

man i cant decide this season wether to play assass FB or DS

#

or play sub

thorn thorn
austere fog
#

hard to figure out whats better this season

#

i see so many rogues playing so many diff builds

wide berry
#

the answer to all

#

are you pushing top 100 levels of content?

#

no? play what you enjoy

weary spear
#

You can play them all

#

You just play different build in different content

thorn thorn
#

Game that works

#

4 in a row

#

It might be jover for you bro

west crown
#

It's so bad. I'm seeing it in every log

wide berry
humble verge
#

is this some

#

suboptimal moon knight?

austere fog
#

yeah i generally Mythic Raid

#

so im trying to figure out whats gonna be best

#

in guess rogues are playing DS with caustic spatter for add intensive boss's

#

over FB

#

the Fatebound build is Purely ST im guessing at this point

#

i still dont have my 4 pc so idk if thats making the difference

wide berry
#

if you are fighting

austere fog
#

i started about 2 and ahalf weeks late this season

wide berry
#

more than one thing

austere fog
#

so im trying to catch up

wide berry
#

always FB

#

SORRY

#

always deathstalker

austere fog
#

oh okay was gonna say

wide berry
humble verge
#

maybe this is a bad moonknight idk

wide berry
#

!bug

prisma monolithBOT
#

Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:

  • Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
  • Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied

As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.

Like other people's logs

#

TO THE DUMMY I GO

wide berry
#

brother

#

it might be bugged, let me try again

#

wait

#

no im dumb

spice surge
#

I mean when its not showing a coin its rolling heads

#

Its not skipping a roll

thorn thorn
#

Eleem with the facts

pulsar plank
#

Is this a known bug that I noticed which you don't get master assassin rebuff when you vanish while the effect still is up?

spice surge
#

Ye its a known bug

#

Gotta wait out the master assassin (which you would wanna do anyway since vanishing early wastes uptime)

west crown
wide berry
#

im getting a double flip after stealth so

spice surge
#

It does not show up as a damaging cast no

spice surge
#

If you look at buffs it shows up just fine

you can say autistic

#

idk why tho

#

i guess cause autistic is the medical term

thorn thorn
#

Autistic is a way to describe people like me

Would you guys go Splicer over Parsons ornamental for offhand dagger? 🤔

thorn thorn
#

Otherwise we say Tism

pulsar plank
#

I've never seen someone suffer from autism

pulsar plank
#

it is a good buff

thorn thorn

Autism is a very good debuff

balmy condor

You could be the type that just pings theorycrafters about blatantly misinformation and tries to argue the TC are wrong

We had to explain the difference between cooldown reduction and cooldown recharge rate

That was a fun one

easy, just tell them cooldown recharge rate is a logarythmic function they'll get it easy peasy

i think my uh alt does more dmg than rogue main at like 6 less ilvls

!macro

prisma monolithBOT
#

With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

/cast Shiv 
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null

Use this to cast cold blood with Kingsbane, which is optimal for Fatebound. The order does not matter, as Cold Blood is only consumed on Envenoms.

#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

Guys when I have darkest night active when starting a pack, should I garrote > garrote > rup DN with 7cp?

main bridge
#

yeah you actually can't consume DN without full combo points

cyan dew
#

so DN is always top priority before stacking poison/bleed?

main bridge
#

rupture first but yeah you should consume DN ASAP

#

i'd also review the wowhead guide

@humble verge What did you do with your cooldowns on dimensius?

use on first add? skip on second add? and then have it up for start of dimy?

nova kelp
#

use them

is it worth playing sub on fights where it’s better even though it sims like 1mil lower st than assa for me?

#

should i be using fan of knives during single target with the bleed build?

#

im guessing right after applying dm

quaint nimbus
wheat hill
#

but is there any other place i should be using it?

digital venture
#

I've simmed a bunch but i'm still at a crossroad and uncertain what to do...

I raid casually (try to clear a few bosses / aim for easy CE) and try to go as high as possible in pugs m+ wise.
If you compare the myth signet vs the nether prism hc for DS, the signet is better but if we look at the prism myth it's 1.3% increase. If we talk about FB it's not even a discussion as the prism hc is better than the signet myth...

Now for the myth ring, this would replace the plexus ring and as it is the 1st boss in the raid I can actively farm it already, so Ill get the ring eventually... So I feel like the ring is pointless...

Leaving me with the rashi wraps boots that is a whopping 2.3% dps increase but also a farmable option.

What do I pick? A Safe 2.3% increase from boots and aim for prism / Lily to boost my FB build from m+ or go for the non farmable myth signet and be happy with the non farmable upgrade even if it's not the best trinket?

haughty flicker
#

not as your normal builder of course

wheat hill
#

yeah cool just wanted to make sure

thorn thorn
#

yea for ctw is good

#

I thought you meant like

#

Just pressing it raw in st

wheat hill
#

oh nah haha

haughty flicker
#

there was also a really minor thing about using it at 6 combo points to get to 7 for darkest night but idek if thats still a thing

#

and was always baby tiny anyway

wheat hill
#

just sourcing any way i can push that single target

#

cant even crack 3m most pure single fights

haughty flicker
#

way to do more st is to make it not st

#

yell at tanks to pull stuff onto boss

#

or accidentally throw a poison knife

wheat hill
#

yeah my guild tanks are weak tho

haughty flicker
wheat hill
#

they don't wanna do it

thorn thorn
#

My first key I was tanking I had a havoc, sin, and arcane

Pro tip, dont bring 3 funnel specs to M+

kind flint
#

im guessing this has been said already

#

but sudden demise is somehow proccing LESS than it did before.

#

so its giga bugged right

tawdry halo
#

add it to the list

#

well, it's on the list

sudden demise gigabugged maybe

including in m+

#

not just open world

thorn thorn
#

Also which one of you is this

balmy condor
#

why would it be giga bugged?

tawdry halo
#

idk

balmy condor
#

yeah it's doing 3%

#

what's the issue?

#

did 2.3% in my 13 priory

tawdry halo
#

damnit we got the essay not the crashout

#

RIP

balmy condor
#

what's wrong about that?

#

I mean I'm just confused

tawdry halo
#

thought it should be higher

balmy condor
#

hell no lmao

#

it's flat damage

humble verge
balmy condor
#

looks fine

kind flint
#

this 1

#

is the one I was talking about

tawdry halo
#

is it under hunt them down?

#

should have asked

balmy condor
#

I mean that still looks fine

#

sudden demise doesn't inherently do like 15% damage lmao

#

it's flat damage based on the remaining damage on the target

#

the higher you go in keys

#

the less it does

spice surge
#

Well if you let the bleed time out or nearly time out it will do less, if you really wanted to minmax demise damage you could refresh all of your bleeds right before they die

balmy condor
#

cause you have more health in the dungeon

spice surge
#

But that wouldnt necessarily be better for the overall

balmy condor
#

but it's doing the same damage

spice surge
#

It would up sudden demises damage though

kind flint
#

right like 3% at a 8 is way less hp than 3% at an 11

balmy condor
#

ye

kind flint
#

so in like a 5 key it would exe at like 5% whereas in a 13 it exes at like 0.0025

balmy condor
#

well not that extreme

#

but yes

kind flint
#

yeah just an example

#

time to switch to hybrid then xd

tawdry halo
#

no

#

absolutely not

spice surge
#

Luckily the spec isnt based on sudden demise

tawdry halo
#

straight to jail

#

The execute from sudden demise isnt even the strong part of the talent

Simed but still not sure what to get...
Should I go for myth signet or the special boots hero?
Myth signet is not farmable but it's worse than hc prism for FB but boots are also farmable but at least those 2 are good for both hero talents

crude robin
#

I think boots are harder to get/farm i would pick boots. Just my opinion

onyx linden
#

Myth signet isn't great and boots are kinda easy to get if you are in guild runs. Id take ring

Looks like a 7-10 range maybe

Maybe an 8

@kind flint and @onyx linden the ring is nice but it's not comparable to the plexus sentinel ring which is also farmable cuz ez boss

@balmy condor what would you pick?
I simed already but I dunno what's best long run:

balmy condor
#

kb is 0:45 and dm is 1:30 with the 4 pc

#

you do the same rotation but faster

Guys, how are my logs?

bronze horizon

So, question, has anybody else experienced this? I just saw this happen in my opener where I had 10 stacks of the heads buff, and then dropped to 8 stacks of tails. It's supposed to reset when it doesn't hit the same face right? I read all the fatebound tooltips and didn't see anything that implies it's supposed to do that.

Once you get rotation down does it just come to gear to parse higher?

Ok guys, I parse well on single target fights this tier but I do rly shit on the aoe fights, like any with death stalker. So like what is like ad priority or do I just focus on the boss or what? rly need some tips for tonight’s raid

wide berry
#

anyone have anything? i cant get over this stupid ass grey/green hump and its frustrating

thorn thorn
#

Just at a simple look im gonna say you can go with hitting shiv a lot more

#

17 casts over a 25 minute key is pretty despairge especially considering you have 10 deathmark casts

#

Are belt sims for real? Seems wild a 701 Atomic Phasebelt sims same/higher

drifting cloud
#

sounds like youre using the wrong power in your delve belt

buoyant herald
#

other than go sub maybe

#

you're ideally just rupture sniping for energy and trying to hit the adds with caustic spatter so maybe some KB timings

#

saving darkest night procs for spatter maybe

muted agate

rupture sniping saved my dam^^

nah just macro it to dm

or coordinate with your premade on where the big pulls are for max value

That's what I do, idk if it's right. I just macro it with a temp pot to DM

theres probably an argument for it on heroic araz maybe

but with the spatter/SF nerf thats kinda icky

damn we killed loomithar on our last pull

that's for the best because we are NOT ready for forgeweaver lmao

nova kelp

just how people work

broken lion
#

like ik Im not going to be doing top dmg in that way but ik it can be better (I think)

buoyant herald
#

im sure you can improve but the adds can only take so much damage before they die

#

so you need to do more of that damage

#

you can either do more yourself

#

or less can be done by the rest of your raid

haughty flicker
#

or tricks the mage and hope they die

buoyant herald
#

the rest of your raid doing less is, by far, the bigger opportunity

#

but one you can't control so rip

real granite
nova kelp
#

it can come down to who is in your group too yeah
like pre warrior changes in s1 it didn't matter HOW hard you tried, a warrior focusing their cds on the adds in rashanan WAS going to get ALL of the aoe damage

hot jay
#

those adds were so silly

nova kelp
#

when I take on binder in heroic, I have 2 giga ww's to compete with, they kill the adds in the tubes as fast as tghey appear

real granite
#

cause i get the point that, when you are in farming, the raid can get boring and monotonous, still the progress sensation and the feels when you kill a boss you have been for one week is not comparable to timing a high key

hot jay
#

2 warriors shouldn't be able to kill ALL of the adds in each spawn wave by themselves

nova kelp
#

I LITERALLY don't even have time to hit them with a sectec

hot jay
#

in season 1 raid

#

but they did

nova kelp
#

so soulbinder in heroic for me in my raid, is a ST fight

hot jay
#

they didn't have enough hp

buoyant herald
nova kelp
#

but it's not factually a baseline truth

#

a LOT of people feel the opposite

hot jay
#

somehow 2 warriors together could do every rashanan add wave just by themselves, they did the lions share of damage to ovinax larva (if you didn't have a frost dk)

#

and kill all the baby spiders in p3 queen

#

it was such a weird raid tier

nova kelp
#

that's just how preferences work

#

we're insanely good at rationalisation

buoyant herald
#

i think if you wanted to pad on araz you'd actually need to just play key bleed build if your raid isn't working around you

#

and demisemax

distant plinth
hot jay
#

oh I will be playing sub for it

buoyant herald
#

it'll change in mythic because adds live longer

hot jay
#

I just mean we as a guild are gonna get spanked by that boss

#

for a bit

distant plinth
#

He got nerfed alot

#

Hes a 30-50 pull boss now once the CC in p1 is in hes a free boss

hot jay
#

did the tight timing of the pylons or pillars (whatever they are really called I don't know) get nerfed?

#

the time that they all have to die within

distant plinth
#

You just need to kill it within 5sec eachother. And im not sure about the timing tbh.. sent one shadow charge on it thats it

hot jay
#

oh, 5 seconds

#

I think it was 1 second at some point lmao?

#

that might've been nerfed very fast

#

like during the race even

distant plinth
#

Haha hmmm didnt watch the race 🙁 ruins my experience with mythic raiding

gilded star
#

jastors still bugged?

hot jay
#

the way I see it, those guys aren't even playing the same game as me

#

the bosses will never be the same when I get to them

#

so its still novel for me to watch

distant plinth
#

Go in blind and experience the boss more fun🤣 but if you fail on a basic mechanic you will get yelled at🤣🤣

storm forum
#

dont tell my raid lead but i agree

#

i dont watch the guide videos until after a few hours of a boss

distant plinth
#

Hahaha, after a few hours you already know the boss

storm forum
#

it mostly helps with later phases but yeah

nova kelp
#

HOURS!?

#

bruv

storm forum
#

yeah like during break after 1.5 hours

#

sometimes after raid (3 hours)

distant plinth
#

Its not classic where bosses die within 1min bro

nova kelp
#

getting a mechanic wrong once or twice shouldn't be a yell at moment
but not knowing the boss till you're hours into pulls probably should be

distant plinth
nova kelp
#

fuck no, I always go in blind

distant plinth
#

Whats with this ethical stuff then😭

storm forum
#

hasnt been an issue for me all expac, most mechanics are pretty self-explanatory, and the raid lead goes over anything remotely complicated before we pull the boss

timber bobcat
#

Might sound dumb but is there a Simming FAQ for M+? After years I still dont know if im simming right...

nova kelp
#

It just takes like either getting a mechanic 1 or 2 times, or watching someone get it 1 or 2 times
then you already know the fight

#

unless you don't pay attention

#

a lot of peeps jsut passively let raid happen aaround them

#

it holds them back

broken lion
#

hm so ill have better luck on sub for like soulbinder/araz/soul hunters?

distant plinth
#

Sub is insane on adds

nova kelp
#

soul hunters you can totally just run bleed build

#

but yeah sub works for all those bosses super well

#

well TECHNICALLY sub works for the entire raid well

distant plinth
#

Was around 9th place on details when the 2min mark on soulbinder came ( adds spawn ) i went to 1st with 1-2mill above 2nd place

broken lion

Is sub just better in raid? I dont wanna have to gear 2 specs tbh

nova kelp

i'ts not necessarily better

no

cunning needle

you still have to do the exact same fucking things

#

and not everything needs to be played infinitely

#

its okay to stop

#

and for content to end

#

you can also challenge yourself in raid every week to do better than you did last week

#

or better than other people

#

???

#

fuck

i acutally got baited

thats my fault

Gear makes keys easier too tho. Just dont equip the new seasons gear for either content and keep it on hard mode all season. Problem solved

no i just think he has a poor perspective on raiding

cunning needle
nova kelp

honestly though, from a different role pov
if I was a tank
I would HATE raid by comparison to m+

cunning needle
#

but yeah raid tanking is mind numbing boring

coral ibex
#

also a tank player saying you can just play m+ all day

real granite
#

so m+ tanks are better players than raid ones?

cunning needle
#

fuck i hate tanks

cunning needle

a good m+ gamer does not make a good raid gamer

and vice versa

we have a guy in our raid team whos 0.1 etc etc

fucks up in raid so many times

yea i have noticed anecdotally that emplussers struggle with pure WA bosses like frac

buddy just turn your brain off and hit the boss

#

stop trying to call breaks on the fly

cunning needle
#

i honestly dont know why m+ andys struggle in raid so much

#

that part acutally confuses me

#

to the why

coral ibex
#

its a very different game mode

cunning needle
#

is it though?

coral ibex
#

yes

#

dungeon bosses are not challenging

#

and raid bosses dont play like large aoe pulls

cunning needle
#

yeah but the concepts are still teh same

#

dodge X

#

stack on Y

#

bait Z

coral ibex
#

the coordination required in raid is higher

cunning needle
#

yeah i guess so

bronze pike
#

no

#

while raid is mindnumbingly boring

#

m+ tanks are a different breed of bad in different ways

#

for example, alot of top end tanks misplay alot of buttons and tank their performance by a ton. but it doesnt matter cause they live and key gets done

#

sl was peak tanking

#

on god you had to actually balance offensive and defensive and know your tank spec. or else you wont time.

ebon prism
#

ive never played fate build for raid. can someone give me a tldr of how the rotation differs from deathstalker? or is it exactly the same except no mark?

The only role I can certainly gets more difficult in other content

M+ healers have a different kind of mental toll, and I respect them for it

Idk pvp healing is another beast

even your positioning is super critical

100%, unless the spec is gigabroken...You have to be so much better then your opponent

I also really hate going to DR timers for no reason when healers are overtuned

even more if its healers with a higher offensive role

like disc when it had dark archangel

and mindgames

zealous hill

Like might as well sit in spawn and pull up balatro

if you really want to fix the tank deficit problem. make tanks do more damage and keep this ratio of casters or less casters to deter silence metas

before df, tanks did 70% potential dps damage. now its 50% in df/tww. hence why theres been widespread aggro issues these last 2 expansions

wheres that meme

wasnt much threat issues unless you were an especially bad tank or your dps cant hold their load for 3 seconds

to release spirit

bronze pike
#

man i just wanna do damage

zealous hill
#

Like i get it, but chill my guy

bronze pike
#

heck most frontloaded dps threat issues, can legit be solved if your tank didnt spent the first 5 globals doing 0 damage tool like throw glaive. just learn to pump

waxen oyster
#

The only spec i could see it realistically was minmaxing felscarred havoc

bronze pike
#

and you wont find threat issues until your in a way higher skill bracket. where dps can actually press buttons

waxen oyster
#

but even then

#

the guide maker said to

#

get ready to insta blur

#

and/or meld

bronze pike
#

ya reaver funnel is crazy

i will admit, a solid devoker or a good havoc can make me a tad bit sweaty

ret paladins, i shit on and have no issues

nah s2 havoc felscarred

#

minmax shit

zealous hill
#

The only time I get pressed, is Fury that know the spec full sending on charge. I cant keep up with that

waxen oyster
#

where you could fit in 1-2 more surges

bold of you to assume i didnt play felscarred veng

#

imagine playing reaver

reaver is boring

no spb

only use to trigger felsurge

pop his cds on the gather

and not even use dwayne

buff tanks

pls

#

you will never see a threat issue again if you made tanks do damage again

#

and not have a weird 30% damage reduction of offensive cantrips and trinkets.

waxen oyster
#

best i can do is give tanks their own signet brand trinket

bronze pike

Which that tank trinket is dummy

the only tank that probably needs a damage boost

realisticly?

bdk

waxen oyster
#

technically prot war did good damage last season

#

just shit like non reworked bloodbeast bdk existed

bronze pike
#

all other tanks have simliar output, just warrior is kinda a outlier

bear isnt abysmal

it just most bear players are afraid of druid of the claw
