If its on them then that tracks

Overall its over 90% cuz you just hit that shit on cd

Hello I'm playing rogue since a bit of Time rn and I'm wondering what is the most efficient spec right now knowing the fact that we have some bugs I want to have your toughts

main bridge
#

most people would have no idea there are bugs if it wasn't for the recent clickbait video

storm tulip
#

Cause of course I was playing assassination and I am actually

#

Yes i think that too honestly I didn't fell them

main bridge
#

assassination is still a very good spec despite the bugs and i wouldn't give them a second thought

storm tulip
#

Okay then I'll continue to play it tysm

grim jay
#

Ye its just a small loss in m+

#

In raid on fb it can be somewhat annoying if it happens, but it doesnt happen that often and if anything, its the tset bonus that will get fixed soon I would like to think

storm tulip
#

Okay ty all really usefull to me

#

assa is better and easier

grim jay
#

Both viable options with different strengths, wouldnt say one is better than the other overall

waxen oyster
#

sub is basically more niche

Meanwhile

almost like trying to copy a product

#

meanwhile we are bug AF they are focusing on housing, midnight expansion , 12.5 turbo boost , and suing private server that actually care

waxen oyster
#

is gonna get you sued

#

one costs money

#

Bro actually thinks blizz cares about what does t make them money

#

you pepegas will cry all day about bugs and still sub

#

so from a business pov, low prio

You cant be ignorant enough to think that it splits any attention

#

Man i hope you arent over the age of 18

#

being this ignorant how a business works

sharp trellis
#

well if you think ignoring feedback from your customer is the way to go as a company , it's abvious you never manage anything

waxen oyster
#

Its lower priority typically

#

The average casual will never notice these bugs

#

and thats who most of their subs are

clever sparrow

#

I think there’s a difference between ignoring something and it being low prio

clever sparrow
#

no

#

just start learning sub faster

Theres probably more class development spent on devourer

What is the addon/wa command?

#

ow ty 🙂

clever sparrow
#

its kinda weird that they didnt bring mage tower weapon appearances back

chilly dirge
#

Also do we macro cold blood to our envenom?

clever sparrow
#

!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

does anyone have any actual data regarding the impact/effect of stealth vs chain pulling in mythics? ive heard about this issue a number of times, but only ever in vague terms.
i have little experience as a rogue as i dont play one. but im curious from the tank pov, which is what i usually play. i know most other classes benefit, or at least dont mind, chain pulls, so im trying to get an idea where the break point is.

balmy condor
#

!chainpull

prisma monolithBOT
#

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
  • Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
  • Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
balmy condor
#

It’s super dependent on the exact pull etc

#

But based on sims, if a pull is properly chained and it saves ~5 seconds

torpid lion
#

so from reading that, ,y usualy practice of moving into a new pack once the 'old' one isnt a threat is good?

balmy condor
#

It’s probably neutral

#

Yes

#

As long as it’s not like 0.0001% remaining

#

That’s just aids

#

Cause like you get the worst of both worlds

#

Not restealthing is a dps loss

torpid lion
#

in the 10 dawn i just did, the dangerous mobs were usually down with the reast around 50%. tried to maintin a 5-6 add count

balmy condor
#

But you can make up for it with increased uptime/more aoe

#

Yeah exactly

#

If you can increase the uptime on aoe that’s going to be a bigger dps gain, not only for the group but also for the rogue

#

Generally if you’re gonna do a huge pull though maybe take a breather

hollow fulcrum
#

should i use lilly forge or lilly seaforium for raid

balmy condor
#

Rogue is gonna run dry after a while

torpid lion
#

thats the main thing i was curious about. if its a 10% dps loss for the rogue, but a 10% increase for the other two, its a net positive

hollow fulcrum
#

ik prolly seaforium forge for keys cuz cooldowns line up

balmy condor
balmy condor
waxen oyster
#

People just think its chaining when dragging a mob that will live 2-3 more gcds

#

which is so wrong

balmy condor
#

But a lot of rogues just go “I CANT AOE MY BLEEDS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT FEELS HORRIBLE”

#

You can tell those rogues to eat shit

torpid lion
#

my usual play as a tank is if theres spicy adds in the packs, ill grab them one at a time, burn the spicy, then grab the next, leapfrogging around. if its vanilla dds, ill grab however many i think the group can handle at once. ill often pull a small pack solo afterwards to recharge

hollow fulcrum
#

so no double on use?

balmy condor
#

Hell no

hollow fulcrum
#

ight

#

do i use lilly instead in raid since it lines up better or forge and just hold for kingsbane

waxen oyster
#

chaining is just bad if a straggler is so close to dead

#

that it dies gathering the next group

#

so now you have no re

#

or dots still going

balmy condor
#

You’d have to cast forge every 3 min

#

And that’s uh

#

No bueno

torpid lion
#

cool, thanks for all the inof. i can now tell random rogues to stfu 😉

waxen oyster
#

You have 5 mobs still with rupture going for 10+ seconds

#

thats just free venomous energy

#

and scent

balmy condor
#

I’ve been fighting the narrative for a decade at this point

#

To no avail

#

Godspeed

clever sparrow
#

BE PROUD OF ME... PUGGING WAS PAINFULL...

waxen oyster
balmy condor
#

Community fundamentally doesn’t understand the difference between a good tank chaining and just bad tanking

torpid lion
#

probably another issue of people reading, but not understanding, something 'meta'

# balmy condor What’s the difference of what

Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
in this scenario do we get a restealth?

#

or not?

balmy condor
#

No

clever sparrow
#

got it

#

now i understand whats the difference

waxen oyster
#

The correct one is where you still have 5+ ruptures going

#

on an old pack that has longer than 10+ seconds

clever sparrow
#

tbh bad tanking is hella fun

#

😄

#

Is Antenna still the go to trinket after the nerfs?

waxen oyster
#

idk why bro thought jumping into center of a pack is smart

#

no brand or spikes

clever sparrow
#

i did the same with my dh...

#

same thing happend..

#

xd

#

in the same dungeon

#

same location

waxen oyster
#

I mean

#

if you arent throw glaiving to gather

#

into sigil of flame feldev

#

then idk

clever sparrow
#

I JUMP

#

LIKE A MAN

#

(AND DIE LIKE A PIG)

waxen oyster
#

i basically use brand like a dps cd

#

let that shit spread

#

at start

clever sparrow
#

so what tank should i play?
DH - Pala - Warr - DK - BEAR

Also i cant show of any cool mog on it

#

do we ct in st in m+

cause why not?

waxen oyster

Wait they got rid of sloppy hands?

Yeah

I’m not changing that autocorrect

#

Wow blizzard really does hate fun

waxen oyster
#

unholy has a replacement ability with no gripping

#

blood got nothing

tawdry halo
#

Ok don’t go DK then

#

And don’t play bear that shit is boring as hell

static glacier
#

issue with slappy hands is

#

it trivialised a bunch of fights

#

they can now tune around grip being good since dks only have 2

unless bdk takes gorefiend

Yea but consider the following

#

DK dps became broken as compensation

#

Seems like a good trade

#

I'd just like blizz to fix bugs

#

Haven’t touched my blood after the removal

potent raven
#

is assa that bad rn or

stark matrix
#

bad? no

#

worse than it should be making it worse than sub in keys? yes

potent raven
#

i got 3300 with it last szn being forced to play the ST build it was honestly so horrible?

#

i guess they didnt fix that shit

stark matrix
#

wdym

#

they "fixed" things and broke the spec

potent raven
#

oh sick

#

like its st was rly bad last szn so u had to play the prio build that zeross cooked whatever

#

in like, at least 16s+ lol

#

but u could get away with other ones, but they werent as good

stark matrix
#

st is better now with bleed build

#

but your funnel is cucked because of bug

stark matrix
#

also I don't think you needed to play the cleave build last season if 3300 was what you obtained

potent raven
#

it felt better

#

but i think i speedran it with turboboost

royal lantern
potent raven
#

i dont think itss good tho by any chance

such a good ss

#

#

lol those bugs seem insane

#

can u even play that spec and do any dps with all that

tawdry halo
#

Yes it’s fine

#

Not ideal but it’s not the end of the world

potent raven
#

assa was so good in s3 df tbh. wish they havent changed anything

#

like capping KB

#

i.e

#

miss the way it felt back then

royal lantern
#

KB was such a dogshit ability back then

#

balanced around getting Pi, holy shit it was cringe

#

the gameplay is literally the same, you are just not balanced around getting Pi anymore to do dmg

winged sun
#

assa below aug..

#

assa is doomed for the season

#

its over

#

no cappy

potent raven
#

but raid wise it was so good, man fyrakk

#

and tindral

#

were fun to play on assa and not sub

#

fck that szn was just good man

winged sun
#

assa was inflated cuz 1 min deathmark bug

#

no cappy

#

we need more buffs no cappy

royal lantern
#

its literally the same gameplay

#

nothing changed

#

the only thing that changed is that the numbers went out of KB and into envenom instead

#

so that assa is not reliant on Pi anymore

winged sun
#

it wasn't bad but

#

sub was just better

potent raven
#

spatter was nice for roots but

winged sun
#

ye i mean assa did good dmg in logs

potent raven
#

that was when ppl had no gear

#

when i didnt fly

#

id get 95s

royal lantern
potent raven
#

but ye sub was better

#

shield and roots

#

iirc

#

just remembered u had to time ur vanishes for cds too

#

on sub

#

LOL

winged sun
#

what

#

sub didnt give a shit aabout roots

potent raven
#

yh bro sub was insane boss dmg

winged sun
#

u had other classes that do roots

potent raven
#

3 sectech opener

#

u had dhs

#

doing roots

#

sub was js boss dmg, shield

winged sun
#

ez got r1 boss dmg on my 1st pull mythic

potent raven
#

never got anything

#

private log

winged sun
#

it got locked in r2 tho i think

#

unlucky

potent raven
#

why cant see private logs

#

if not in guild

winged sun
#

theyremoved u

#

or ur not signedw in

potent raven
#

oh

#

yes

#

removed

#

i have SS

#

np

winged sun
#

you being removed means ur old guild has shit officers

#

no offense ofc

potent raven
#

nah theyh ad beef

#

with me

winged sun
#

ye that explains it

potent raven
#

5 splits guild

#

for wr 60

#

XDXDX

#

dont care

winged sun
#

5 splits

potent raven
#

yes bro

#

i geared 5 chars

#

quested 5 too

#

lost my mind

#

when theres guilds like cyathursday doing 2 splits and raiding 3 times a week (iirc?)

#

getting insanely high wr

#

just no talent unlucky gg

winged sun
#

well

#

wr60 and 5 splits

#

sounds =like crazy work

potent raven
#

daily raid too

#

besides weekend

winged sun
#

i got recruited by few top 20 guilds

#

but

potent raven
#

4 hours

winged sun
#

they're all 8 alts or someshit

potent raven
#

i didnt see

winged sun
#

cba i barely can handle 1

potent raven
#

ik

#

its requirement

#

uhh

#

i dont remember the guilds that didnt do a lot of splits but got itno hall of fame anyway

#

but they are sick

keen spruce
#

i better be getting sponsor money if i'm gonna be grinding 5+ alts kekdog

potent raven
#

just boost mooney

i was getting paid like,

#

3m for 1 fyrakk kill

#

i.e

#

#

pretty bad hourly considering it's just blizzard gift cards

waxen oyster

#

you live in a country where 1-2 euro covers your daily expenses

#

lmfao

potent raven
#

ya

#

arabs do that

#

a lot

#

no offense ofc

#

but need a lot of money tho like ye

#

All three have bugs

#

you wouldn't have even known the bugs existed if it weren't for the clickbait video so why do anything differnetly?

royal lantern

main bridge
#

it's not like they're new bugs

royal lantern
#

ww monks main cd is bugged since the spec was created

mint urchin
#

The singular focus is

coral ibex
#

the caustic singular focus bug is new

sonic lodge
#

but i noticed some new ones too that made me wonder

royal lantern
#

well, they have new ones aswell

#

same as literally every single spec in the game

mint urchin
#

Doesn't outlaw still have issues with crackshot bugging if you hit it before subterfuge activates?

#

That's like way worse then assa ones lol

royal lantern
#

and deathstalkers mark on sub with DN up is yikes since TWW exists

#

like, every spec has broken shit, most just dont even realise it in the first place

sonic lodge
#

kk

#

should've formulated better my question but overall i got the point

does raidbots sim hunters boots power? the item shows without the power for me

balmy condor
#

it does, yes

#

link the sim

balmy condor
#

tf is this gear compare nonsense

chilly marsh
#

only the boots tried to do it

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

so the issue with gear compare

#

is the power of the boots is based on the track of the boots

#

so gear compare has no way of knowing what level to sim the power at

#

that's why you top gear

#

cause you can pick the track

#

that's also why it says this shit

#

and this shit

i think my group is doing fine ithe add cleave, im going to chage to straight funnel and see how it goes

dunno what to tell you, its playing better for me

wide berry

i think i just suck at DS

waxen oyster
#

"Chat is it possible to play ds wrong"

i want some of that copium pretending kb is a good button

tough gorge
#

your a bit weird lol

waxen oyster
#

I mean its playing better for you because you're playing wrong

#

bleed damage is kind of disgust this tier

tough gorge
#

nah i get how to play bleed, i just prefer the boss dmg of this new build

#

im not getting alot of plays of people bringing packs into bosses for funnel dmg on bosses

#

i mostly pug

waxen oyster
#

bleed's boss damage is literally fine

#

yeh its a bit above tank but thats the tradeoff

#

for doing like 10m every pack

tough gorge
#

and i prefer having more boss dmg while having kb on huge packs still, works better for me.

#

not gonna argue with you about it

waxen oyster

I mean you're free to be wrong.

i cant be wrong on what feels better for me to play

Is there a realistic viable build of fb for m+ fb is just fun so much random dmg from coin flips

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.

waxen oyster
#

Not really tbh

#

Any potential damage profile fb would have

sharp sinew
#

🙁

waxen oyster
#

would be better filled by sub

peak pagoda
#

Ew sub

waxen oyster
#

i mean if you want boss damage with good burst cleave

#

its just better

#

+tanky

sharp sinew
#

I love sub

#

But assa is on steroids rn

peak pagoda
#

Feels clunky af

waxen oyster
#

in bleed build yeah

#

cleave you just become a discount sub

sharp sinew
#

I dont ever press CT on boss

#

Should I be?

frozen glacier
#

yes

thorn thorn
sharp sinew
#

Even in pvp you dont press it if you cant cleave

peak pagoda
#

Yes

sharp sinew
#

Fuck

#

Should i do it before deathmark or after burst?

frozen glacier
#

deathmark doesnt affect CT

sharp sinew
#

I know

#

But how do yall do it?

frozen glacier
#

id have to think

#

pretty sure i do it after mark

sharp sinew
#

I see i see

waxen oyster
#

you just maintain it

thorn thorn
#

Fatebound will be considerably less shit in M+ when it stops nerfing itself in aoe

waxen oyster

takes prio over piss envs

gotta wait for next expac for a glimmer

fatebound is just such a boring hero tree

#

adds 0 to gameplay

thorn thorn
#

Eh

#

Some people need that to perform

#

Just kinda weirdge that it nerfs itself

#

And we are approaching midnight and this is still the case

sonic zinc
#

any other spec that does that tho

thorn thorn
#

Pretty sure its literally just fatebound that does lmao

sonic zinc
#

its a weird dmg profile

#

forced pure st that u cant avoid

thorn thorn
#

Imagine having your ST griefed by adds being added

sonic zinc
#

its fine if they want a more ST focused hero tree, but its kinda weird that its just fucked with incidental secondary targets

waxen oyster
#

to me the only issue of ds

#

is you lose mark

#

if a mob doesnt die officially

sonic zinc
#

ds dropping is annoying af

#

doesnt shiv fix it now tho

#

or i mighta just not paid attention

mint urchin
#

not really when you have forced downtime or shit that doesn't officially die

thorn thorn
#

Mark just cringe

waxen oyster
#

dsm lasts a full minute

#

downtime is rarely that long

mint urchin
#

DN doesn't, its only like 30sec which is still decent but it can get lost

#

more M+ then raid

sonic zinc
#

its fucked if u lose itid pack somehow

waxen oyster
#

DN is only 30

#

m+_

#

combat drops

thorn thorn
mint urchin
#

I've lost it on stuff like last boss of ara just due to the choas of shit

#

and last boss of Dawn

#

if I send my vanish and dont think

waxen oyster

idk how its lost on arakara boss

#

dawnbreaker boss yeah i lost it first week of s1

what if you're just hitting the griddy in the corner dodging poison waves and webs

not that hard, pugs shooting poison at you, avoiding webs into pull

!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.
waxen oyster

i mean

#

you spent 60s not using a finisher?

mint urchin
#

30sec

mint urchin
#

Mate its not like its an every day thing lol

#

I'm just saying it happens and its an annoying design element

waxen oyster
#

personally i dont think punishing bad play is a bad thing

#

alas

mint urchin
#

punish is losing out on dmg potential not "your entire hero tree now stops functioning"

main bridge

that's just damage

you won't die

but maybe you should since you'll be doing negative damage

m+ talents on soulhunters is crazy

bugs 🙁

old terrace
#

are these good stats for rogue?

normal mist
keen spruce
minor dagger
#

top m+ rogue in the world is playing outlaw and the majority is sub

#

why ppl still say assa is the way to go?

gray raven
#

because it's fun?

minor dagger
#

nah

#

not as fun as outlaw

sonic zinc
#

its ez, good general damage profile + execute in raid

minor dagger
#

still, maybe outlaw is the biggest dps for m+

sonic zinc
#

outlaw requires more effort and practice, and does 0 boss dam

keen spruce
#

cuz zac is an outlaw one trick

sonic zinc
#

and 0 uncapped aoe

keen spruce
minor dagger
sonic zinc
#

sin is just so much more flexible group wise with better damage profile for more comps

keen spruce
#

it's also better in a phys dam comp if competitively viable

sonic zinc
#

outlaw requires phys comp

keen spruce
#

which he's running

sonic zinc
#

he runs a group that pulls around him

#

u wont get that in pug enviro

keen spruce
#

it's also zac, if outlaw isn't completely gutter tier he's gonna play outlaw

sonic zinc
#

pulling around sin is pulling normally pepw

keen spruce
#

when you run warrior you sort of automatically pull around outlaw

#

dps warrior*

sonic zinc
#

u can stick sin in any comp compared to outlaw

keen spruce
#

and to be fair

#

the guy .3 io behind him

#

is runnign only assas and sub

#

and casual is playing entirely sub and assas

minor dagger
#

sub is an all around comp spec aswell

#

easier to play around pugs

little tulip
#

sub hates bad pulls more than the other two specs

keen spruce
#

yeah i mean you still like all of the phys buffs

little tulip
#

like way more

keen spruce
#

but outlaw just likes them more

little tulip
#

same stops as outlaw and cd based :y

#

just run bleed or play hidden opportunity if u wanna do outlaw in keys

sonic zinc
#

sub has burst damage and actual boss dam

minor dagger
#

i think when you add m+ and raid perf, sub is ahead

little tulip
#

yeah im rolling sub with our 5 stack and in raid til they fix assassin

minor dagger
little tulip
#

outlaw has unlimited redirect breadsticks

#

and can fix bad tanking/survive the hits

#

i think sub does too but yeah weak pulls weak damage

sonic zinc
#

u can cd around the tank

little tulip
#

10 soul rending ambushes is a lil easier rn ngl

#

bad tanks aren't getting more than 8 targets most of the time

real granite
#

most of them play sub cause they have a raid setup and have huge amounts of versa, there are keys that favour assa (hoa, eda, flood) keys that favour sub (street, dawn) and keys that favour both (gambit, psf, ara)

#

in the assa keys you will se casual playing assa always

#

funnel is highly required there

#

in the both favoured keys, rn he plays sub mostly, but when the raid progress finish, or close to finish, you will most probably see him switching back to assa

rotund oak
#

most powerful sin,most potential sub

ebon prism
waxen oyster
#

you change your neck and rings and you can swap between sin and sub

rotund oak
#

also m+ logs

#

💀

rotund oak
real granite
orchid pewter
#

Just swapping ring is enough lol

nova kelp
waxen oyster
#

only thing is assa doesnt really fw double on use

#

if you have a jewelry piece with high haste, swap it out when playing sub

#

and you are mostly there

#

i would say belt power and cloak gem have even less validity since even the minor gain there is achieved by like 2-3 right clicks

real granite
#

im not saying you'd have to change that to be assa viable

#

im saying those keys are totally sub viable, and knowing you are already optimized sub, why take the hussle

#

they are timing 18 with around 3mins extra time

#

its just, why take the hussle if its not really being game changing

#

thats just my guess, anyways

waxen oyster
#

sub gearing is

#

avoid haste

#

i guarantee you the 0.1% gain changing ascendance to focus lens isnt timing your key

ebon prism
uneven plume
#

im convinced its over

#

these arent bugs, these are nerfs

#

😢

waxen oyster
#

the only spec that truly has to nitpick stats is outlaw with its mandatory haste

real granite
waxen oyster
#

to even function

real granite
#

that 0'1 is not needed right now, theres time more than enough to time the keys

waxen oyster
#

yes and they play sub likely because it helps their comp more

#

also sub is just tankier

#

living is a very real concern at higher keys

#

not everyone is tww enhance with an aug giving you a bj the entire key

tawny yoke
#

guys bugs are not fixed yet ?

glad ruin
#

Is forgeweaver considered a cleave boss? or just a single with splash from spatter?

uneven plume
#

not bugs, hidden nerfs

#

they prob wont fix

#

🙁

#

doomin here hard

glad ruin
#

When thinking about talents per boss, am I right with this?
Plexius - Single
Loom - Single
Soul - Single w/ cleave
forge - single w/ cleave
Hunters - Cleave
King - single w/cleave
Demensius - Single

glad ruin
drifting cloud
#

you play spatter on dimensius

nova kelp
# glad ruin When thinking about talents per boss, am I right with this? Plexius - Single Loo...

this is about right, there is also a list on the wowhead guide if you're looking to play sin through the whole raid
mortiz is probably essentially suggesting another option is just going sub the whole raid because honestly you can just not even change spec throughout as sub
a fair few who love sin probs play fb sin on the single target and last 2, then play sub on the 3 in the middle

buoyant herald
#

Hey it me

coral ibex
#

just killed LFR dimensius

#

hardest content in the game

buoyant herald
#

Actually is

runic basin
#

just for my understanding, the current buggs affect our prio target dmg right?

buoyant herald
#

Primarily yes, aoe as well

#

Pure ST isn’t as affected since you can just hold if you get too much cdr and keep things aligned

runic basin
#

but the funnel ST then right?

buoyant herald
#

That’s the biggest detrimental effect I’d say yes

#

Assuming it’s a bug and not intended but unannounced

glad ruin
#

forgive my ignorance, "ST"?

balmy condor
#

single target

#

the biggest detriment atm is honestly prio damage in m+, as well as deathstalker cleave/funnel in raids

glad ruin
#

Found the talents for each boss on wowhead, so thanks for that

balmy condor
#

the issue is like, deathstalker is really good at funnel and aoe

#

so like soulbinder, araz, soul hunters

#

but in raid, all of your aoe is caustic spatter, which doesn't work anymore with singular focus

#

so you basically lost all your funnel in raid

#

and follow the blood isn't usable in raids either

#

momentum of despair is WAY better in raid

#

but that talent just straight up doesn't work

#

so like yeah singular focus bug hurts in m+, but at least you're still getting like a decetly large part of your funnel from CT and multi-dotting and all that

#

and you can play follow the blood in m+

#

but in raids you can't do that

#

so deathstalker just basically lost its entire niche in raids instantly

haughty flicker
#

yeah any fight i was gonna play deathstalker ive kinda just ended up playing sub instead

#

fatebound still cool though

runic basin
#

rogue (assa) is fun to play...but idk a bit mor ST would be nice, less AOE more ST idk

balmy condor
#

#

maybe the apex talents will save the m+ crowd

balmy condor
#

I've been doing assa TC for nearly a decade at this point

#

and I've seen the pendelum swing so many times

#

bitch that it's nothing but st and not enough aoe

#

then it's too much aoe and not enough st

#

then it's not enough aoe

#

then it's not enough st

#

maybe next expac we'll be back to not enough aoe

onyx pond
#

What if we played the council talents in araz and soulbinder ? Or just go sub during those fights?

sonic zinc
#

nah next expac its joever

runic basin
#

are you happy with the current profil? @balmy condor

balmy condor
#

but no matter what, it will consistently never be enough of something

#

I am

grim jay
#

even a good profile isnt enough

runic basin
# balmy condor I am

idk im feeling bad when it comes to dungeons where you can not ad some adds into bosses and you doing "tank dmg"

balmy condor
#

yah I mean unhappy people will always be unhappy

grim jay
balmy condor
#

hope you feel better I guess idk

#

you're literally soloing aoe packs and crushing overall

grim jay
#

people that "legit deal tank damage" or close to it are either exaggerating or doing smth wrong

balmy condor
#

I personally think there are not enough niches in the game

#

like the m+ issue has actively hurt spec design

#

because everyone wants to do everything

#

every spec needs ST and AoE all in one talent build

ebon prism
balmy condor
#

and then if it doesn't have funnel

#

then it's also not good enough

#

and if you do infinite aoe and infinite st and good funnel

runic basin
balmy condor
#

then it's not tanky enough

#

and even if it's tanky enough (feint)

#

you die to dots

#

and all of sudden you're too squishy

buoyant herald
#

And then you have arcane so

#

Apparently it’s ok to have it all

ebon prism
#

If you have a minute to take a look please

balmy condor
#

yeah like arcane and frost dk are examples of having it all

#

but instead of looking at those two

#

and going "that shouldn't be a thing"

#

it's "oh why can't my spec be like that"

buoyant herald
#

?Por que no los dos¿

balmy condor
#

and then everyone does everything and everyone's bitching about homogenization and bitching about how bad the tuning is

#

when in reality it's like within 5%

#

and super tight

#

but because every spec just does everything

#

the tuning HAS TO BE that tight

sonic zinc
#

imma say it

balmy condor
#

if specs had downsides and niches, you wouldn't have to tune everything down to 0.001%

sonic zinc
#

everyone getting blade flurry was a mistake

balmy condor
#

yah I mean that's another example

#

where it's like "oh fire mage can just ST a thing and do the same aoe WHY CANT I DO THAT"

sharp viper
balmy condor
#

and then you get shadow crash, nimble flurry, caustic spatter

how does key lvl correlate to the stats?

isnt it compared across same difficulty?

thats filtered by points, which is all about key level

also, is there a way to read up on the detailed stats of a particular dungeon run, for example:

  1. a way for me to view my 'run history'
  2. select one from those
  3. see more detailed breakdowns for that run,

?

#

apart from the 'Details' addon

sonic zinc
#

if the runs themselves were logged and uploaded to warcraft logs u can look into more detailed breakdown

#

where?

sonic zinc

in the previous picture, if a run was logged, the "source" column would have "log" in it, and ud be able to just click into it

Can anyone spot major issues I have on Mythic sentinel? Below is comparison with one of the top parses for the same duration (6:30) since I didnt get the kill. Only thing I can spot is far less envenoms and mutilates for me as well as the massive difference in our crit%. The damage breakdown otherwise is more or less similar, with me needing slight improvements for rupture/garrote uptime. But what causes the massive difference of nearly 1,5m DPS with similar gear?
