blizz is telling you to play a high iq spec like frost dk

#

what am I doing wrong with KB ? you got 138M i got 93M

lusty narwhal
#

I havent posted mine

rigid swallow
#

y sry was the one of muffin ^^

mint urchin
#

Are you in lust, are you getting good poison procs, are you getting enough envenom casts in

lusty narwhal
#

Crits as well very helpful

mint urchin
#

Yeah, did your final tick crit

#

are you maxing shiv usage

waxen oyster
#

shiv covering it

#

and having env buff are the biggest

viscid spear
#

They'd have to want to play Sub first

waxen oyster
#

Sub is cool, im half afk between add spawns

#

on araz

lusty narwhal
#

Learning sub during forgeweaver prog atm lmao

#

Fun on that boss

ripe bobcat
#

is there a good use for 2 on use trinkets as DS or FB assa? got araz and prism today and saw some people play both

waxen oyster
#

until the boomy knocks on your secret hit

#

yeah

lusty narwhal
#

Yeah seen that a few times lol

waxen oyster
#

politely mail him a bomb

lusty narwhal
#

Getting the timing right as well is a bit tricky but not too bad

#

I hate playing danse though

#

does shadowmeld count as a restealth in M+?

waxen oyster
#

it counts as a combat drop on trash

mint urchin
#

Yes

waxen oyster
#

assuming you dont take damage before you hit stealth again

mint urchin
#

I believe it also procs MA and IC no?

upper spear
#

got it, so you have to meld then stealth?

runic hinge
#

You know what’s crazy? It seems to work so good in ecodome. Like I never have trouble with it in that instance

ripe bobcat
waxen oyster
#

meld dont take any damage

#

dont move an inch

#

hit stealth when combat drops

iron vapor
#

what's the fatebound burst window looking like now with the edge case shenanigans?

mint urchin
grave token
#

I'm jumping back into the game after a 15.5 year break. Lich King was the most current expansion when I quit. I was a good raider when I stopped and am looking to get there again. What do you think I should know about today's environment?

main bridge
upper spear
#

i see people in PVP do it all the time

#

so had me thinking

waxen oyster
#

well you’re not in stealth

#

until you hit it

#

since all meld does is drop combat

main bridge
#

read this ^

mint urchin
waxen oyster
#

on trash it would when you re

upper spear
#

i see it proc IC for sure in PVP

waxen oyster
#

bosses have an aura around them that keeps you in combat

upper spear
#

which that alone, from a QOL perspective, i feel like is worth?

mint urchin
#

Its like having a half vanish every 3? minutes

grave token
#

I know guides, but I meant more like things to make sure I do or avoid? Or which server would be good for an Alliance rogue? I'll be doing WoW full time.

mint urchin
#

Its not that significant compared to other racials

waxen oyster
#

meld was big in pvp in bfa

mint urchin
#

in PVP its big

iron vapor
#

so are we shiv, DM, KB/CB macro, vanish, envenom, envenom, shiv last 8 seconds of KB?

waxen oyster
#

could meld re and sap someone

mint urchin
#

but pve is decent

iron vapor
#

or are we delaying the first shiv until KB hits 16 seconds?

waxen oyster
#

Im just saying

#

if you have a dot on you

#

or adhd move before re

#

it will fail

iron vapor
main bridge
#

only addition i would make is that some servers have a large population of people that speak other languages than English

nova kelp
#

Hybrid even in high keys is kinda just bad now

iron vapor
#

prioritise getting a decent main hand (crafted 720iLvL is the way) 4 set of the season tier armour and 2 good trinkets

mint urchin
iron vapor
#

anything outside of that is just PURE item level, doesn't matter what secondary stats are on it.

#

for assassination anyway - if you're playing Outlaw you want to prioritise haste til you get to 20% ish

proud charm
#

Do anyone knows where I can find the same nameplates, ui and weakaura as Casualaddict ?

iron vapor
#

but that should just happen naturally - lots of haste available this season

grave token
#

Got it. Thanks. I'm having a gaming computer built and am looking to get into a world first guild eventually. I'm recently disabled, so I'm able to devote nearly all my time to WoW.

proud charm
#

Is hekili good for assa rogue ? And how much loss dps wise you think you loose using it ?

cyan dew
#

Did you find a fix for this? Same problem

iron vapor
#

I also am looking at buying a fast car and trying to break into a formula 1 team.

proud charm
#

Really ? Have you tried it ?

grave token
#

@iron vapor I was in one before. It's my target at least.

iron vapor
#

honestly, the rotation for assa is mega braindead, if you need hekili you may as well just use the one button asssist

proud charm
#

Alright imma remove it tomorrow haha

nova kelp
#

I tested it recently for a friend to use as a learning tool.

It predicted almost everything the same as I would have played it through the raid

#

Hekili isn't bad

#

It just has a bad reputation

proud charm
#

Yeah I feel its showing decent rotation

cyan dew
#

Anyone here uses whispyr's plater profile? How can i turn off personal resource bar forever? It appears after every loading screen

iron vapor
#

just learn the rotation surely? it's like 3 buttons?

nova kelp
#

People are inherently against what it does if you aren't learning he spec. And using it as a crutch

proud charm
#

Nobody knows Wich weakaura and addons casualaddict uses ?

nova kelp
#

The one thing I found when testing it was I had to do some configuration before it predicted in an accurate sense

proud charm
#

And if there is any links to get it directly

main bridge
#

there is value in learning the spec without any crutches all the way through because you are building muscle memory

mint urchin
iron vapor
#

there's this myth that rogue is hard to play... outside burst it's maintaining 2 DOTs and spamming the same finisher

waxen oyster
#

its good to learn why you press certain buttons

nova kelp
#

But peeps often cite hekili and hero rotation as giving BAD rotations. Which isn't true. They do a good job. They just create bad habits.

waxen oyster
#

not memorizing an order

mint urchin
iron vapor
#

inside burst window you can just put the buttons in the right order on your bars and press them one by one

#

even in M+ with a bleed build it's pretty braindead

#

there's minmax you can spend brainpower on but you definitely don't have to

upper spear
mint urchin
#

You still have more maintenance work then most classes balancing 3 bleeds, DM, shiv, and caustic. While many classes are just build into spend

iron vapor
#

I guess hard is definitely subjective, if you've got a room temp IQ then almost any spec except ret pala is hard

nova kelp
#

What a quote lol

iron vapor
#

(I have a ret alt)

nova kelp
#

I love that

waxen oyster
#

forgot bm hunter

iron vapor
#

room temp in celsius as well, I don't do freedom units

nova kelp
#

Bm isn't a spec

#

It's a third of a class in disguise

iron vapor
#

isn't BM just AFK /follow

waxen oyster
#

I’d say theres other specs like fury warrior

#

that people’s biggest fuckups

#

is straight up not being gcd capped

haughty flicker
#

i mean thats a lot of classes

#

basically anything that isnt an energy spec even

runic hinge
#

ABC

#

Always be casting

iron vapor
#

I don't think APM is necessarily 'skill'

nova kelp
#

Jpc said a thing in here the other day which is Hela true. A lot of the time people's poor performance is 2 things. Not being close enough to stab things and just not actually pressing buttons fast enough

iron vapor
#

though I can't think of a single DPS class that's actually hard

upper spear
#

mage specs during certain seasons seemed pretty hard

iron vapor
#

all the difficulty blizz have put into the game is dodging circles, cones and swirlies

lusty narwhal
iron vapor
#

or not dodging them

iron vapor
nova kelp
#

Sub during tomb was hyper chill what?

lusty narwhal
#

?

nova kelp
#

It was Hella smooth

lusty narwhal
#

It was smooth but it wasnt easy lol

nova kelp
#

I loved that spec so much

waxen oyster
nova kelp
#

Sub now is way harder than sub then

lusty narwhal
#

You literally lost dps if you had over a certain ms because of the timing on dfa and clipping dance and symbols

#

But yeah its harder now

#

At the time it was tough

#

People are just better now

nova kelp
#

Maybe... At the time though legion was post skill cull so a lot of specs were VERY simple

#

So maybe

waxen oyster
#

you spammed dance on the way down

wicked valve
#

Do we put oil on both weps? or is it really only better to use on Mainhand?

warriors stole my kj pad

#

(yes i was a degen playing fok cloak and moonglaives)

nova kelp
#

To be fair. Rogue was VERY popular then too

#

So that's a lot of competition

waxen oyster
#

i was also just beans

#

at getting a 10 stack on maiden while dodging

Maiden was such a cool fight

foggy marten
nova kelp
weary spear
#

Ok explain how difficulty of parsing high changes based on population size then

foggy marten
#

I.e. Different weapon enchants (council's guile v radiant authority) and different weapon buffs

weary spear
#

Idk tbh so if you make a good point I’ll change my opinion

waxen oyster
#

People look at method guides?

#

consumables has always been a sim angle

nova kelp
#

The method guide writer sucks compared to the Wowhead one

waxen oyster
#

”how to world 3rd, a comprehensive guide”

#
  1. complain about 11h advantage
foggy marten
#

But it says its the same guide writer 🤔

waxen oyster
#

idk pretty sure he gets paid once per tier

nova kelp
#

Lol

waxen oyster
#

to write the method guide

#

if that

# weary spear Ok explain how difficulty of parsing high changes based on population size then

With pure dps specs you end up with players rerolling to the best spec regardless of what tuning is. So if one spec overperforms the better players will always flock to it making it “harder” to parse. You’ll get more at the bottom too but the guys who can play all three at a high level will knock you down as opposed to playing Assa in a sub season and only competing against the one tricks who may not be as good

viscid spear
waxen oyster
#

its worth checking when a guide was last updated

#

i personally wouldnt update a guide if i wasnt paid to

#

but maybe whispyr is nicer

weary spear
runic hinge
# weary spear Hmm idk how much truth this has

You can argue the one tricks are better because it’s all they play and that might make it harder when there’s less people but idk. It’s gonna be harder for me to parse when people like stealthi and guy are playing Assa than a tier when they play sub

viscid spear
waxen oyster
#

i mean it is true

#

although outlaw has some genuinely good otps

weary spear
#

Guesswork at best

waxen oyster
#

like 3-4

#

like loktark if he played anything besides outlaw:

#

wew lad

haughty flicker
#

is it guesswork to say that people are likely to swap to the specs that are currently well tuned

#

because thats not guesswork its literally what happens

keen spruce
haughty flicker
#

blizzard is even aware of it themselves and how it impacts performance of lower played specs

viscid spear
#

I just play Sin like a stubborn ass

keen spruce
#

when it comes to parse not numerical rank

#

cuz for every stealthi playing assas there's 75 assas chatters asking if they should equip tier

#

or if they have enough mastery

haughty flicker
#

well thats kinda the point yeah

keen spruce
#

like in Aberrus my magmorax was rank 10 and only a 94 parase peeposhrug

haughty flicker
#

on a low population spec theres a lower percentage of people like that

timber gust
#

Do we have anything from the blizz side regarding those bugs?

haughty flicker
#

because people arent rerolling to it to see big numbers

proud dust
#

!wa

mint urchin
prisma monolithBOT
keen spruce
#

dedicated one tricks that tend to be better

haughty flicker
#

are the gigachads

#

that make it harder to parse

#

yeah

keen spruce
#

there's kind of a nice middle ground

haughty flicker
#

that was the argument

keen spruce
#

I wasn't disagreeing

#

i was just opioning

haughty flicker
#

ok mr duck

keen spruce
#

but when you're like pure fotm it can hard too

#

to get actual numerical ranks

#

cuz you get a lot of good players

#

swapping over

weary spear
keen spruce
#

but the parse itself might be a little easier

haughty flicker
keen spruce
haughty flicker
#

it directly effects performance of specs

#

when one spec in a class is rerolled to heavily while the other isnt

nova kelp
#

Data group size will define the spread.
A large group will create several factors that dont exist within a small group also like defined skill brackets within them.
Like looking at arcane right now there is probably as many 50-70 percentile peeps than there are actual rogues ATM.
But if that were the ONLY group of people playing arc mage right now then that 20 percentile group would still need to comprise the entire 1-100 percentage bracket

marsh fjord
#

Today we killed soulbinder and i was like comparing my log to some other people log. and i saw some people having like 1 billion spatter damage. and i really wondered why mine was so low

#

did only like 300 mill or something

runic hinge
#

You get worse people but you also get all the better people too

mint urchin
#

Pug players def reroll higher then people in established groups or friend circles, it's just easier to get into content on a perceived meta class

weary spear
#

If only 100 players play outlaw does that mean they’re all bad players because they didn’t reroll to assa

#

LOL

#

Garbage take

haughty flicker
#

no its the opposite

violet tiger
#

Hi, on phase 1 dimmensius should I be switching to hit the adds or just keep whacking the boss?

haughty flicker
#

you're completely misunderstanding the statement

weary spear
#

Good specs have just as many garbage players roll in as the top end players playing it

nova kelp
#

If only 100 of them exist there would still be a 1% person.

haughty flicker
#

the people who dont reroll are the enfranchised players who are likely better at their class

keen spruce
haughty flicker
#

than the people who are rerolling

keen spruce
#

like not all of them

#

but the average trends higher

wide berry
weary spear
#

Oh okay that makes sense

keen spruce
#

like at the extreme, if everyone quits a spec except for the one tricks because it's so dogshit

violet tiger
keen spruce
#

you'd assume that those one tricks are going to better than an average shmoe

wide berry
#

I think rogue parses are just tougher overall because the class is unpopular and there's more sweats left

wide berry
mint urchin
violet tiger
#

thank you friend

nova kelp
#

It's the reason why the Wowhead post always tells you to be sus of the numbers behind specs like feral

mint urchin
#

Just basic brain function

#

Warrior curse

nova kelp
#

Because there's only 13 of them

haughty flicker
runic hinge
#

It can be harder to parse both ways I guess idk. You could be number one outlaw until outlaw becomes fotm and suddenly there’s 20 rogue gods ahead of you but now there’s an extra thousand behind you so your number is still gold

Unless you're mid burst on the boss but you can time an 18 second burst window to fit between the adds

#

Blizz class devs need to stop indulging in moon guard, it's effecting their brains

nova kelp
#

If I were to get a bit tmi about it technically ole xalatoes is terrible foot content tbh. No arches

wide berry
runic hinge
keen spruce
#

it does get harder at the top end though because a bunch of HOF players clog up the top spots early on

keen spruce
#

idk

iron vapor
#

Kinda weird, they're not exactly a DPS check

wide berry
#

P1 plat can get out of hand quick though if your not able to chew em up

iron vapor
#

Sounds like a lot of people are tunneling the boss and hoping others ok k up their slack

wide berry
iron vapor
#

That should have said pick up

wide berry
#

On our normal clear I did funnel hard after awhile but we always have some uh

#

Very casual players

#

(one of our players got lost in streets after raid one night)

iron vapor
#

I think on normal you can get away with funnel, you can on heroic too!

keen spruce
#

top logs aren't switching to adds, looks liek they're just throwing some bleeds on them

iron vapor
#

As long as your other DPS are switching you can be the shithouse single target rogue

#

do yall think its simbait that i only lose 2.5% dps in AoE by dropping 1 lethal dose for iron wire?

thorn thorn
#

@fallow canopy xla

keen spruce
#

but it's kind of just up to you

graceful halo
#

well... false info i guess? i'd lose 2.5% for iron wire in pugs

keen spruce
#

if you think you need wire for something

#

you would lose at least 2.5% yeah

wide berry
#

Technically it's always sim bait because are you a robot made to play wow?

keen spruce
#

I think the general concesus is that you don't need wire this season

#

normally on VDH seasons it loses a lot of value

thorn thorn
#

Reality isnt real

mint urchin
#

IW is kinda bait

#

As it's the first 6sec or so of a pull when everyone's kicks and CC is already up and available

nova kelp
#

Were all just organic extensions of the Sim clanker

keen spruce
#

It's quite good sometimes, but when you VDH is going to sigil everything on pull anyways you're kind of wasting the silence anyways

wide berry
#

When the nice segmented bar has 5-7 lines my true purpose suddenly reveals itself

haughty flicker
#

my group has a prot pally so iw is uh

mint urchin
haughty flicker
#

kinda redundant

coral ibex
#

iron wire lost relative value to lw shiv because shiv is so important to deathstalker this season

keen spruce
mint urchin
#

But not sure it's worth it for just that

keen spruce
#

it depends on your group

#

it's not like

#

a bad talent

coral ibex
#

we should be brigading the forums to have them bake in iron wire to improved garrote

keen spruce
#

but you're giving up a decent amount of damage

coral ibex
keen spruce
#

there's not really any good tradeoffs rn

mint urchin
#

We talked about that but going on strike is just giving Whispyr a free vacation

keen spruce
#

until hybrid inevitably becomes more important for boss damage in a few weeks like every other season kekdog

Lethal dose sounds cooler so run that garf_sit

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.

wait

#

ok so

thorn thorn
#

I already have a theory kek

winged sun
#

i think rupture didnt do 50% more dps before the log just counts for corrupt the blood but it did exactly the same dmg as my week 1 floodgate

balmy path
#

I made a macro
/cast Mark of Death
/cast Ancestral Call(Racial)
/cast Araz's Ritual Forge
Does anyone know if there is a difference in damage or something like that in the order of the macro or is it all the same?

winged sun
#

week 1 flood gate rupture dmg = today rupture dmg

#

idk

winged sun
#

ok

Do you guys always run bleed build in m+? Feels like the boss damage in high keys is kinda ass

winged sun

rupture isn't bugged

I topped overall in a 13 and had some dude ask if my weapons were broken because I went third on the final boss

Details keeps them seperate but logs considers corrupt the blood as rupture damage

#

that's... clearly not what they were asking

winged sun
#

so like

#

look

keen spruce
#

they were asking about ordering

#

of the macro

balmy path

#

so here

#

it did 1.86b

and obviously just had a bad translation

mmhmm

Corrupt the blood is there on details seperate

winged sun

ye

#

afaik most trinks and such should be fire and forget

#

instead of /cast "trinket name here" you can do /use 13 or 14 depending on the slot the trinket is in

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

winged sun

turns out it was just corrupt the blood and rupture is still doing similar dmg idk

nova kelp
#

He saw your video about how we lost 80% aoe

winged sun
#

even with current bis gear, might've been just a huge mastery diff

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#
  • Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
  • Only one pooling condition exists (pool around 4 seconds before non-deathmark kingsbanes until 150ish energy). This is worth 0.3%
  • Other optimizations are simply not impactful enough to show a benefit in sims, but pooling before quick-dying add spawns could in theory be a practical gain to pad.

i wish i logged my floodgate run tho

#

i wanted to check my envenom dmg on big momma

autumn idol
#

im smelling it

#

winged sun
#

1 envenom peaked my dmg from like

#

30m dps to 50m

autumn idol
#

18 stacks of prism

winged sun
#

autumn idol
#

#

or do you pop it separate

winged sun
#

autumn idol
#

autumn idol

Is running fatebound with the bleed build in M+ viable?

humble verge
#

no

autumn idol
#

hell no

#

get that thought out of your head

#

right this instant

pulsar orbit
#

Oki

#

I’m just so sick of ds lol

autumn idol
#

DSM has way too many synergistic nodes for bleed

#

singular ( tf ) corrupt the blood, clear the witnesses, and the fok crit or whatever ( tf )

thorn thorn
#

!fotm

prisma monolithBOT
#

FOTM Info

  • Fatebound is not playable in any AoE situation, and ESPECIALLY not in Mythic+. Don't bother.

  • Tuning is nowhere near done and realistically won't be until mid-September; unless you enjoy playing rogue there is no point in you rerolling at this time, we don't bring anything impactful (e.g big aoe stops/party buff) to the group

  • PTR sheets and PTR sims are borderline misinformation with how rapidly things are changing and most sims are not currently updated at this time. Again, this will fix itself as we get deeper into the patch and things solidify, but judging a reroll off of PTR tier lists and random sims or seeing one guy pump super hard on a stream is not indicative of anything.

thorn thorn
#

The command is finally relevant

autumn idol
#

you know whats funny

#

assa was really good week 1 in mythic raid when everyone was playing it

#

week 3 sub is top 5 and assa is botton 5

#

unluggy

thorn thorn
#

I would say what happens when spec is bugged

autumn idol
#

Ye

winged sun
thorn thorn
#

But rogue is basically a bug in class form

autumn idol
#

i still cant fucking believe

#

you lose cold blood when you swap fatebound to sub

winged sun
#

sub was kinda mid without trinkets

autumn idol
#

Ye the double on use is

#

yeah

#

something else

#

40k mainstat into 40k mainstat

winged sun
#

u can 1 use with prism i think aswell

autumn idol
#

on shadowblades

winged sun
#

prism is just

#

omeg ahuge

humble verge
#

wait wtf

winged sun
#

for sub

pulsar orbit
#

Double on use trinkets with fish in a barrel cooldown management is fun right?

humble verge

autumn idol
#

Not rly

humble verge
autumn idol
#

forge is 2 minutes

#

netherprism is whenever

humble verge
#

but like

autumn idol
#

so basically you go 1 set forge the other nether

humble verge
#

why are sub using forge and prism

#

on lile

#

i saw casual doing it

#

on nexus

#

idk

autumn idol
#

Becayse your burst windows make the fight easier

humble verge
#

alr

autumn idol
#

dimensius platforms p2 on mythic are criminal

#

1st set you are sending forge + shadowblades

#

2nd set you are sending prism + shadowblades

#

and then burn you have forge + shadowblades

#

this look smart for soulbinder? i am struggling keeping up wiht others today.

autumn idol
#

like in a pure single target scenario its a loss over passive trinkets but you're not really ever having those scenarios in raid

main bridge
past bobcat
#

Can FB sin use the double onuse and it still be good?

autumn idol
#

not really

pulsar orbit
#

You want the antenna or like a sacbrood for FB

autumn idol
#

sub does way more damage inside of its cooldowns thats why it benefits more

#

you are still doing oretty decent damage with db outside of your dmark bane windows

#

i mean there IS a scenario where you could play double on use

#

if you managed to find a way to bug out the tierset for it to proc twice every time xdd

balmy path
#

I'm using Astral Antenna and Araz's Ritual Forge
Is there a better trinket combination? for M+

autumn idol
#

no thats pretty much the bis combo

pulsar orbit
#

That antenna really helps with your constant crit%. I’m probably wrong but this season feels like the gear is waaaaaay more mastery heavy for us

autumn idol

#

fucking

#

lol

autumn idol

it would be funny if we killed it

#

id be holding rank 1 for both heroic and mythic

apparently people dont know how to reapply dots for this boss

I’m one of those

#

I struggle on that boss

autumn idol
#

mythic or hc

pulsar orbit
#

My pc also chugs so hard im basically sending carrier pigeons through my opener

#

Hc

autumn idol
#

oh yeah

#

that boss is a lagfest

#

basically send everything you have on pull

#

and save your mark and
vanish for after the intermission

cuz they do intermission every 2 minutes

You can't really aside from rupture sniping. Or at least you won't do any damage
