yeah but netherprism sims weird in low duration fights
Aight fellas i’m going to bed
Gn
Gl on your loot
Besides those 3 fckers that already have bis trinkets
❤️🔥❤️🔥
is this normal ?
Alright, i will try that. I'm progressing with guild but otherwise play a lot of m+
thanks!
mor caustic spatter, and rupture should be higher
yea i was thinking the same. Probably i forget to refresh spatter it seems
Seems like it
we love when the shaman dies early on first pull not waiting for aggro
Aaaah yes
also this is the dps
always the same brother lol
was a 17
damn
btw if you know. it is worth to put dots on more than 5 targets. for example gambit 1st pull or
yes
always
but on important targets, not small adds
bc on first gambit pull, lots of adds are gonna die near instantly
can anyone tell me how much crit i want to be aiming for? is 30% ideal or ?
When you play your entire tww life ds and you switch to fb... im looking for my mark all the time 
Sim yourself is the answer. FB generally likes a bit more crit but, trust in the robot
THanks a lot boyz
I gotta do some simming, I got the crit ring from Plexus last night and that put me at 42% 
My 3x tier pieces are all Hero track.
Should I pick the 4th at Hero track too,
or upgrade my Curse Stone Idol from Hero to Myhthic?
Boo so all the big d ass are fb?
With my itemlevel I could log into mythic Dimensius right now and kill him, but I cant tank ONE PACK at T11 Delves for more than 2 seconds

i'd say go for tier first
its hc and you just traded a bit of dmg for no dmg at all so its still worse then taking ib
it's more so the people that come in here and get mad over tiny losses
when it really doesnt matter
Should I go Fatebound once I have the 4 pieces?
for ST sure, for cleave is more nuanced
yea you'll wanna play FB for most bosses in raid and always in m+
FB in keys? what
Oh, I don’t raid unfortunately.
Stay at Deathstalker then I guess
i do wish we could completely move away from DS in m+ as well, ever since FB became playable i started hating deathstalker
i think how it is now, is how it should be
one for one content and the other for other content
but yeah it would be nice if in midnight it reverses the roles etc
i do not want for DS to become the meta in raid
dont make me come back to S2 DS
i dont want it
Me saying to my raid lead that the webs on loomithar which are killing us is not my problem 
YES
My raid leader told me to tunnel
And its just OKAY THEN
I WAS GOING TO DO THAT ANYHOW BUT NOW ITS OFFICIAL
i got an 89 parse on mythic plexus, 99 for ilvl, we go to soulbinder, i switch to ds, green parse 😐
skill issue, i know, i know
i think it's still fb on that boss no?
The trick to soulbinder parse is to gaslight your entire raid into going ST build because 'the adds will die too quick'
yea just bribe your raid to only to singletarget and let you pad 😄
how do you setup your garrote and rupture for dry KB in raid ?
Leaving you free to pad
we have 2 retris and warris 🙁 and they also have enough gold its so over on that boss for me
Cut a power line to their house idk

i'm all over the place currently so i'm definitely doing a lot of things wrong, we only fought it once, gotta practice more
you just ignore it its fine to refresh inside kb just dont let it drop
even with CB being annoying if you dont envenom two times before ?
Guys I'm now gonna start with dimensius hc progress. Any overall tips for the fight besides "don't die" and "swap sub"?
dont swap sub thats never the answer
you'll do ok, play FB
and you'll cleave a bit, BUT JUST A BIT
(I haven't played sub since DF S1)
p3 is pretty free so if you have the choice to send cds in the last add platform do it its the harder part of the fight
you can shadow step the bump if necessarry
and shadowstep on the big adds
and only do DM on first big add in intermission
not if you want to parse
Currently the problem is the P1, we've only reached the intermission 1st platform twice, we don't have dks and we had ranged killing the two extra adds
you'll lose lots of dps if you dont have DM while in AMP phase
Ooof not having DKs is shit
Yea but its a prog kill so i assume he wants just to kill it. We are only ethical gamer here after all 😄
he can send a KB on second platform
Yeah I'm not even talking about CDs, I'm sending them as I have them
Igore the bribe talk to parse from 2 min ago
the thing i hate about that amp phase is by the time i set up my bleeds and press dm, there's like 4 seconds left on the actual amp🤣
YUP
Sub is better for this amp phase
the hard parts are really the platforms but we cannt really help there sadly. Its a pretty much lean back and hope for your ranges to do their job
hence why i'm learning sub lol
oh definitely
i was jealous of exile and perfecto when the race was going on
My group learned actually fast how to position the poop + we're calling out the poop incomings on voice
how dare they be the 2 best rogues in the world
My problem on the 1st phase (and I complained about it on coms too) is that everyone is scared to pick up the fucking orbs. I'm doing them as melee ffs
(I never have a problem doing mechanics)
"but royal why are you picking them up - my raid leader asked"
"Because I know I will do the mechanic"
I trust myself to get shit done LOL
Yo found a new bug
Caustic Splatter straight up wont apply to targets with only wound poison on them
That's not a bug is it?
nevermind it says
What does the caustic talent say
deadly poison and lethal poison are different apparently
Deadly and amp apply it iirc
feels like an oversight regardless
heres the confusion lethal poisons (weapon poisons) are called "tödliches Gift" in german but deadly poison is also "tödliches Gift"
i love how DEADLY poison isn't LETHAL 
I mean even if it said lethal, instant still wouldnt work
Because instant doesnt have a debuff
So it cant be on the target
I guess the real oversight is allowing people to use instant to begin with
phrasing
also I cant use splatter in PvP because wound poison is mandatory
If only there was a way to apply two poisons at the same time
idk what to take is better btw)
good for you dawg 
also I cant use DTB in PvP because amp poison is complete garbage in pvp
DTB doesn't force you into Amp tho
Why did they remove dire poison??? I came back after a few years of no playing
i love priory lads
actually it's hilarious to hear that the core mechanic of Assa just doesn't work in PvP
7,5 min left tank pulls this and then somehow the lightspawn heals half the pack :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
i cant blame him tho the paladin did conc as soon as he did the heal death
im just coping
us vibing in keys
i also have a warr tank and monk tank if you'd like to do some keys sometimes
Does anyone know why they removed dire poison?
I found it useful against slow targets
honestly, i feel like i havent performed that well in a priory in a while
it's a weird one for me as well
whats best way to learn mythic raids without doing it? i just joined in a mythic guild and i really have no idea how to practice
look up guides
guides
i know the boss mechanics
and lorrgs for CDs

got it
sometimes you also wanna just learn cds on the go too
you look at all they do, if 80 percent are doing it
since some bosses have places where u wanna save and use
its that it gives the most dps
the best and only way to practice is to do the raid over and over again, and if you aren't actively screwing up the whole raid, you'll have a lot of room for improvement
i just sometimes panic 😄
i've never managed to wipe a group but i managed to die like animals few times
i want purple logs 😄
thats just lacking experience will get better over time
What?New pin
not about the bugs guys

just give yourself time, you'll get there
what do we think about equiping two use trinket (Lilly and prism) ?
we hold our fair distance from that
never do that on ass rogue
You could say it's an ass idea 
you could say that's SUB optimal wink wink
This guy gets it
my chef where i learnd used to say "that idea has some ass" when a idea was good
anyone can explain me how the DM execute works?
ret cries about dmg gets a buff, bm cries about damage gets a buff, fury cries about a bug it gets hotfixed that week, rogue has bugs across all 3 specs for god knows how long. crickets....
like i see nothing about DM deals more damage when enemy under 30%
because its a different talent
is it [Zoldyck Recipe]?
can someone help me to improve?
yea this 2 talents are helping us in execute
Got it
thanks
what we cast when we have 4x CP?
should i go for another muti and get 7x cp?
or should i reapply garrote?
which worth more
depends
if you need to reapply garrote anyway then that's what you wanna do
if you are in garrote pandemic, then garrote
if not? mostly i find my self like this with 16 sec of garrote duration
should i go for another mutilate?
yes
then mutilate
thanks
why does maghar racial go kinda crazy
bc its more dps on cd ?
1 more thing!
on first boss in mythic we mostly get our 2nd Kingsbane 3 /4 sec before the intermission (push back phase idk what it called)
should i throw kb even tho i cant stack it?
or i wait for the shield phase? (Holding it)
Your tank can move the boss to the back of the room right before the pushaback so melee can continue to dps during it. Just a suggestion.
and you shyv before your KB so you can do most of the burst
he wont do it
Sad
and i rather not talk much as a trial raider 😄
before?
ye
shouldnt i use the shiv right before it starts pushing back?
BAITED INTO A BUGFIX
and then if you dont you'll waste a shyv
you'll see this msg like at least 50 times today also kekw
My fault sorry guys
make sense
@balmy condordoes council's guile get replaced on fatebound at some point of gear? asking cause of renown 6 stuff going pretty hard into -20% crit DR
NEVER ENOUGH CRIT
Just turn on every enchanted for both weps in top gear and, check override enchants and click the run Sim button
Not that deep
Does the sim support the raid buff?
I used to deep dive this dc in s1 and have a question about a Bug i havent read before yet. Anyone else had the Problem that you use a finisher with 5 or mot combopoints and your target stays on the deathstalker stacks it had before? This didnt happen to me in s1 or 2 but keeps happening since the 4p
As long as you have a secondary stat enchant it doesnt really matter, you can swap it to something else if you want but likely sim is just gonna say theres no difference
When you have darkest night up you cant remove stacks from the mark
I know that
Old bug from around week 2 of nerubar
could someone tell me where i could improve my rotation?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/vA1ry9BJjap6CPq3?fight=20&type=damage-done&source=137
No darkest night just 2 or 3 Stacks on the target
do you know if the renown 6 weapon enchant buff is implemented in raidbots already?
There’s a string you can put in but Whispyr thinks it’s 1% and it wouldn’t change any decisions
I'd wager that 1% is enough of a margin to sway decisions
What item from set are we not using? I see on wowhead all 5 set items are put on bis (even though not all are good stats for rogues, dunno why)?
All stats are good for assa
Then search my message history and add the string to your sim
this is interesting, could you explain a little bit more? genuinely wanna know, and i keep hearing this but i just don't understand stats enough ig
Idk what there is to explain, theres not one stat stats significantly better than the others
So just get a bit of each and youre good
i got the forge trinket in herioc last night. my numbers are improving finally
Or just stop thinking about stats and sim top gear
i do already, i'm just still not that knowledgable about all this stuff yet so i try and learn whenever i can
Well that’s the deal you don’t need to worry about the stats and top gear figures it out for you
@main bridge you mean this?
Just looked at a top frac log and this guy is death marking every minute 😂😂
Guys if i'm starting a big pack, should I always gar > rup > rup > gar then envenom to proc DN or I should use more garrotes and CT before DN ?
ask yourself why you are not doing that
noob hasn't even unlocked apex dm talents yet
Because bug abusing is unethical DPS
Only ethical DPS allowed
untill it gets baked into your next tierset, im looking at you here coup bug
ok i still need to get better
Ambush gar rup rup gar gar ct then mut for caustic and then lets go depends on mob count obviously
How else were you supposed to get parses in nerubar
having two on use trinkets is maddening lol.
why do you use 2 on use trinkets in the first place
That's why we don't use them
By being kind to the bugs
Dating sim with queen ansurek lmao
So even if I have a DN proc I should prioritize doting and CT before using a full envenom, right?
Resolve the political drama in kahet with romance
they sim the best. but it may be worth the loss for less madness.
Ct is your biggest damage you want it early as possible
thats a bit weird. What are your trinket options
I mean people can correct me but im sure thats the way
assuming things are stacked ye
rup > ct is better than rup > rup
plus the new forge trinket from MFO, this is jsut the list before i got it.
nvm its there
i just didnt ahve my most recent sim saved
My question is if I should use a full envenom to apply DM or if I should dot more targets in a big pack, this includes CT before DM too.
You have only 1 on used equipt? So you now play with idol and araz?
What the hell
That's not uber
He would be one of those little creatures
What are they called
who are you from these 4?
Yean idol and araz sim the highest. its why i chose them.
im 6
Uber
You can sign my steam profile?
what are the little thingies called
maybe sim a pacemaker from this season against that it will probably sim better
ill give it a shot. and then never see it drop lmao
i only get to do 1 or 2 10s a week at most. so gear is a rarity.
depends on a few factors, if you're not in IC always just send the envenom, if in IC have you finished spreading rupture? how long will this pack last / is it stacked yet?
the more stacked it is the more incentivised you are to envenom
what's IC?
indiscriminate carnage
oh
so if in IC I should focus on dotting/CT before reaching the full 7 cp and applying DN, right?
you touch delves after the mandatory week1? 
in the process of making cloaks a dead slot they ended up killing boots
Also, if i'm about to burst and my envenom will expire before KB/DM, should I prioritize keeping evenom up or w/e just burst and use envenom during it?
dont think about envenom uptime
just play the prio
env uptime is automatically fixed
You always Envenom before DM anyway.
its also
wrist is emb slot cus i have the belt from the first boss mythic
i have non-tier mythic legs from hardmode and full mythic tier anyway
trinket is lul
so the mythic ring it is i gues 
now see, i went 5head and took myth bracers from raid
will just craft belt later down the line
yeha idk, i just got the first plex belt drop and then made myself heroic emb wrist

8 a week so there's more places for the bad items to be
sometimes when you're in the middle of a boss you don't have much energy to keep it up if dot's are about to fall, in those times it happens that we need to make a decision if we save some energy for burst or envenom before a burst to keep it up and burst with no energy. That's where i'm in doubt.
so if I burst without envenom up i'm not losing much, right?
Should just save some energy for the burst
How tf do your bleeds even give you energy
Do you absorb the blood back into your body like a sponge?
Talents but from a lore perspective idk haha
the blood of our enemies invigorates us
Vampire spec
lore perspective, outlaws will die at 32 because they have a 24/7 adrenaline rush, which kills their hearth
aka just like Outlaw players with their Monster addiction
True
how good is Screams of a Forgotten Sky trinket in m+ do we have data/anecdotes?
its the Dimensius trinket with the on-kill explosions
maybe if the damage is uncapped
just yoinked this from that guy earlier
Jesus, GG
now only 23 hours left until lockin
unfortunate
holy shit, double stounbound enchant actually sims higher for me now
no more enchant mixing
Is this heroic or mythic? Did you just not break anything and let them all come at once? Do the other dps have hands? I have so many questions
its probably heroic, you ignore all of the adds and break them all at the end and you get giga cleave in execute
its mythic. our evoker and ele died on the last add break with execute up
guess ill take the pad then
what's a good miss chance when simming with Antenna?
10-15% on most fights
Myth track cursed idol or hero track lily? Primarily for m+ 🥺
honestly, i hate the cursed idol. lily you can macro and forget it exists basically
why are you using cursed idol then
wasn't me taking it
Jump 3 times
ask bug fix 3x
ye same
so prob just a small ish increase vs convenience then i guess, thanks
never used cursed idol so didnt think it was that bad
if i'm about to burst, I don't have energy and my envenom will expire before KB/DM, should I prioritize keeping envenom up or w/e just burst and use envenom during it?
Must've been asked 10000 times before but how do you play prism in raid, wait for full stacks or use it on CD with DM?
using with DM is about 0.5% loss.
vs full stack?
ye
anyone else having issues with simming top gear with raidbots? Mine starts and stops directly at 10%
droptimizer works tho
well, it looks like its time to ignore a second antenna
Now we wait for the robot to tell me to commit more crimes 
Tried my ara kara 15
like third key the entire season
deplete before we even finish gathering the entire first pull

It knows that I'm about to delete a second antenna
what are you taking over myth antenna? lily?
probably, already got myth pacemaker
isn't that the plural
so like
it's not both?
antenna good, but it's not the biggest upgrade
rip why we only take one
they actually are, I don't think I've ever seen one before lol
silk moths

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/j87YhPX5L1cbtTZhLQUhct yup, no antenna

just got flamed by a paladin for not dispelling poison on him on my shammy 🙂
why you not running poison cleanse totem
on the plus side. i finally got rid of last seasons gloves on my rogue
i am but it has a cd lol
also yeah dude is hella crazy, he has a free dispell
ret palas 🥲
you think ret paladins know any of their buttons outside of divine storm?

last time i ran with a ret pala, he wouldnt blow up the adds in arakara
on avanoxx
sadness
are there any talent choices people are making for more boss dmg in m+ or is it just grab 5 extra mobs
!bug
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.
is it good if i macro my shiv with tea?
!macro
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
thanks!
Yep yep!
do you have the item "Thistle Tea" in your inventory or bank?
did you put it on your bar
ohh yes
get rid of those and try it
hmm still not working :/
some people have said you need to do a UI reload after you get rid of the items
I don't see why that would be the case, but yea, worth a try
unfourtanley still 🙁
and it just doesn't use tea?
yea, that's exactly the same problem I had.
I got rid of the tea in my bank and it started working
i know my suggestion seems dumb, but make sure you put the macro on the bar
the tea item is also called tea ?
depends if/when you press vanish
so i can search it in the bag / bank
item is called Thistle Tea
anyone can/have time for log review?
item cant be found xD
hmm ok let me try that
should it be like this with the ID?
hmm i did a quick google, i dont think you can
which is weird cause you can do it with item
Dm is 0.5% loss for st but frankly either or is fine
i just looked at your character count on my macro vs yours...you don't have a trailing space somewhere do you? I see mine at 69 (giggity) and yours at 71. And when I add a space to my macro it does raise the count of characters...just a thought
i saw the red dot on the pin, got my hopes up
it was something different it got my hopes up 
Is there any weakaura to track when 1 of the poisons drop? The one I am finding only shows when all of the poisons drop
!macro

you could make one, quite easy
You star!!
i feel like most times, your poisons will expire at the same time
right?
because you apply them at the same time
and they're all 1hr buffs
trigger, aura, buff missing, and type in the poison name
you could set the reminder aura to trigger when the buff has <10 mins remaining
instead of when it expires
lol did cn homie delete his love letter to realz
based
violated rules
i wanted to read the comments tho sad
can't @devs i guess
No petitions, StrawPolls, or fundraisers. Academic or Research surveys may be allowed at the mod team's discretion with prior approval.
Is why the mods took it down
i mean it was none of those though lol
It was, he added a petition
oh
rip
gg go next
i feel like it would violate rule 4 though "Do not post to shame, target, or call out specific individuals or guilds. This includes smear campaigns or encouraging others to boycott or support specific people. If posting a screenshot of your game, please block out all character and guild names unless the post is not negative and the names are required to understand your submission, such as puns or coincidental names."
i got 2k, accidentally got to 2500, aint gonna get to 3k
fair
wish they made 2500 give cooler shoulder mogs

Yea i got like
2x mythic tier which is nice

alright im curious, anyone else using a lily and a prism? if so how are you deciding when to use lily over the prism on use
you usually dont double on use for assa
that last line kinda hard ngl
yeah ik its not normal, but curious if anyone has tried to min max the use of them both cause they so good
hey should I macro netherprism to DM or should I wait for max stacks on boss fights?
classes that excel in double on use, typically do a shit ton of damage in their cds and tiny damage outside of them
thats not really the case for assa in m+
we do a lot of damage even just with shivs
so.. double on use isnt good
but if you HAD to...
you would use lily all the time and hold prism for huge pulls like lust or pot or damage amps
i mean ive got a maxed out champ seaforium that i can use still but yeah lol
haha hey
the problem will be your lily will sit there available to be used for a majority of the key
unused
double on use it really good for sub but for assa it really effects the damage output you do out of your DM
why are Assa Deathstalker rogues using Lilly in M+? 1.5 min trinket on a 2min CD class?
could be all they have
my dh bis is 2 passive trinks
Archon - https://www.archon.gg/wow/builds/assassination/rogue/mythic-plus/overview/10/all-dungeons/this-week
Logs - https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/45?class=Rogue&spec=Assassination&heroTree=53
just seeing a lot of Lilly
lily gives more master than priory on same ilvl
if you are asking that
What if they don’t have other trinkets
ya could be, but im looking at top logs and what Archon suggests and its all over the place
Trying to draw conclusions based on sites like this is pretty silly imo
its early season people just use whatever the best they have
Ultimately your gearing decisions should be based on top gear sims of your own character
I mean if you have 2 or more priory people in the grp then priory could make sense
It doesn’t matter what other people are doing
since assa benefits from almost every stat
I think that short term top gear bis is a mistake at times
Use your words
why do you think data is silly
sometimes people should do the long play
I just said a bunch of stuff about that
You think that copying other players makes sense but in reality using the same gear they have may not be the best decision for your gear. That’s why sims exist
It’s like buying the same shoes as a pro basketball player and thinking it will make you play like them
it's more like having the same body as a pro basketballer but yeha
also blindly following sims is also silly? its subjective to the enviroments
so idk your point lol
i use my myth lily because its my strongest on use trinket rn
Who said blindly?
because "sim it" is a blind suggestion
A top gear sim is going to be more accurate than copying other people’s gear. I think that’s not in contention
my guild doesn't get trinket drops in raid so ill only ever get a forge or prism in my vault
also, there is an argument to be made about sims being unrealistic to attain so empirical data gathered by actual people can be of more use
can i share an image with you that will make you a lil upset
Do you guys have any recommendations on how to maintain energy for the raid ST Fatebound build? I am constantly applying garrote/rupture for venomous wounds but it feels like I run out of thistle teas so fast.
constantly applying, or keeping them up in pandemic windows, the former will drain your energy even faster
also
!design
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.
It feels better to pretend envenom uptime is still a thing though, because it at least feels like it's something we're actively doing.... rather than just sat there doing nothing waiting for enough energy to press a button 😕
that's not what the post means
it means there is no need to hold envenom to chain it back to back
and that just sending it when you have the cp is fine
Should I ignore the robot telling me to craft chest?
I didnt craft anything to max out my myth track lily
but I got a socket slot myth tier headpiece and sim again is telling me to up that over crafting a ring
I just want to craft
I love crafting.
upgrading helm logically should be a large increase
its satisfying
ok well then you can ignore the robot if you dont care about the numbers
I know thats what it means, and like I said.... holding to "feel like" you are maximising the uptime (and by extension pooling some energy) makes it feel better outside our cooldown windows because it at least feels like something we are doing... I know it's pointless.
what chest should we realistically go for
I mean I ran crafted helm entire last tier until I got gallywix helm
obviously it's a sim angle but this one looks kinda dope
wouldnt say crafting a helm or chest is bad cause I mean u cant guarantee drops
i'd feel really bad wasting a spark and crests on a chest and then opening my vault the next tuesday to see a myth track chest
okay but what if there isnt a chest there
I crafted helm on my DH today 
no other slot to put gilded crests into and I had a veteran track helm
(will put crests into legs yes but can get 90 crests this week still)
fk u and ur myth flensing
❤️
crafted weapon and then instantly got it in vault and then this week I had another weapon in vault 
i got the verse haste weapon myth i tihnk
DH reroller smh
nah I am just gaming alts this season 😎
get chosen for fewer breaks
shadowstep the boss every time you get the break to never lose uptime
can just shadowstep back, no? i really dont think its a struggle
not even that, i think it just shitty kill timers
it just has to be timers

got a rank 3 in my normal run today
been 4 min kill timers twice now
averaging 91
if we can cut 30s off, i'll be chillin
sanity check, does shadow stepping through the beam on dawnbreaker first boss count as crossing it? I've had a couple times where I step to a party memebr who is clearly in open space, and I am too, but yet I pick up the beam debuff
however, maybe im just blind in one eye
yes
yes
you can't step over it
TIL
halkias tho u can im p sure
i believe so
i bet you can blink it though on mage
im pretty sure its some kind of zone check and if you leave your quadrant you get the debuff
or is shadowstep coded as a dash and not a teleport
is there a reason why we craft wrists over for example a belt?
yea you started this season with a 701 belt already
mythic first boss drops a belt
that is better than most 710 belts
when is the belt nerf
11.2.5
any ETA on that?
any weap enchant changes with the new buff?
what buff
no you were already playing the crit or mastery enchants + mana oils
WE PADDED ON SOULBINDER LETS GO
bro i never even SEE adds to pad on

my raid explodes the adds so hard they're gone before half my cds tick
sometimes i can barely get a dry shiv on more than 1 target

99s on destro and BM I sleep
I see some m+ players use netherprism as assa as well. Is that preferred over forge or should I simply just listen to sim and rock my Pacemaker + Forge? (Have so'leah myth, lily, forge, nether, ara'kara too)
how do people use netherprism at the start of boss fights?
like its 1 / 2 stacks at the early
we forgot to pop the last 2 before everything else pops, cause tanks kinda griefed by going slow over to them
so we everyone got to pad :3
Yo new ass lover here with a dumb question. For sims do I just use dungeonslice for everything or is the patchwork sim actually good for ST shiz?
patchwerk for ST yes
1 boss 5 minutes or more
depending what kinda boss you wanna sim idk
but like 5 min works
pog, thanks
In one of my raids a shaman won the ring and kept it and another DPS lost his shit
It was exactly like this lol

this week's loomi kill
i usually shadowstep out to a ranged for the big purple circle

somehow my focus got cleared
so i just stepped to under the boss

"ok nobody else can die like nooj just did thanks guys"
who else up getting baited by the new pin
Shadowspeaker is pretty rough too, forced downtime and pure single-target
big
i suck at m+ so ill never be up there

i am the #1 rogue on my server cluster tho
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2ZkMm9hpWP64VyBA?fight=last&type=damage-done&source=42 why i am bad
tf kinda server u on
one that a boost community can't even mail me gold on
lmao
i have to use an alt to receive payments
Hahahaha
this character has been on laughing skull since 2008 so
are you on like
oh
youre on daggerspine related
lmao
i was on Talnivarr back in the day

im NA so i think its gilneas connected
LS/elune/chogall/gilneas
sometimes it means i can snipe cheap stuff on the AH but usually it means there's nothing on my AH
anyone?
💔

netherprism 6 seconds into dm, second shiv delayed by 5s, on pull
netherprism had 1 stack 😭
i know, it's not really of use there, but weird timing nonetheless
that is just not right
you dont shiv the end of your 45s kb
you shiv like 2 seconds in
you pot on your 1:30 dm for some reason
and your 2nd shiv in that dm was late too
you need to track your buffs better
also not hitting for half of your 50s kb
(i forgot to use on first one)
intermission
push back phase
should i save?
You’re not really benefitting from a shiv if you use it and then can’t do anything for like 30s
you should try to replicate this every time
how much % roughly is the attuned to the Aether for us?
8s between your shivs in DM
always
shiv is 8s you should be refreshing it instantly
you didn't bind your fate hard enough
unlucky bozo go next
unlucky
How bad is it to play FB for all bosses in Manaforge? I just really prefer it in raids 
you can play anything in heroic
I just switch to caustic when there is AOE
Correct.
play what you prefer 🙂 similar to how tmog is a 10% dps buff, same applies to palying what you find fun
Yeh idk I really like DS bleed build in dungeons it just feels trash in raids
DS that is, not the bleed build
saw a new pin, thought it was bug fixes, was some random yap
i agree, i just went a step further and play sub instead
sadge 
idk how im simingh better 23k crit and 14 k mastery in single target
Sorry, what?
because fb prefers crit over mastery

Whatever it takes to get antenna tbh

my dh has myth pace and antenna, ez
to clarify not myth antenna, i dont fuckin do mythic
Do we do anything with the new enchant, i havent really looked into it
my warrior has hc antenna
yo
can yall compare these logs and tell me if im doing something wrong
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/7YVRvApxZzwdbGqh?fight=53&type=damage-done this one was like when i had worse gear, https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1J2A6vNn4XwMmQfR?fight=3&type=damage-done slightly better gear i got the 4 set piece here
oh shit, thats a thing
how u fix the cd bug in ur rotation? u hold ?
yeah
Watch cold blood timer and send based on that
line up kb with cb
okioki

Bro is trying to pvp the boss
dm kb randomly 20seconds late
hey, it builds CP
i dont remember cheap shotting it xD
it def happened lol
and yeah KB and CB not being used in the first 20 seconds is wild work
also having a trinket that effectively is half a trinket
passive mainstat and no damage or stat proc
yeah i havent got anything better
and to be fair, if you genuinely dont have much of an idea how to do your opener, hekilli gets it pretty close to optimal
is the delve vendor never been up
but not exactly optimal
In warcraft logs is there a way to see casts while watching a replay of a specific person?
so should i replace my netherprism?
It’s up at the end of every delve if you have it unlocked
if i'm about to burst, I don't have energy and my envenom will expire before KB/DM, should I prioritize keeping envenom up or w/e just burst and use envenom during it?
yeah dont replace NP its honestly super goated
yeah true
i just be slapping gear on ngl
is there something better maybe a craftable?
just go do floodgate 6s or higher and get a pacemaker
spam em
its good enough to hold you off until you get any of the better passive trinkets
ok bet
that or buy the voidshard or soulbreaker sigil from delve trinket vendor
is he in dornogal?
i might not have it unlocked
Ya it’s on the delvers journey. Might need to do more delves
You’ll probably see every trinket by the time you unlock the vendor which is kinda funny
someone brought up that it was weird my disc belt sims lower than the 704 raid belt, so I went to confirm this morning, and yes, it does
is that weird?
(they both have same gem socketed)


?
that seems to be the wrong belt thingie
ngl I thought it was the bolts bs so that's on me but what xiani said too
was this changed
it has been the critical one since the change to bolts iirc but like the mastery one could sim better depending on your gear and stuff
but most people run the critical one
I haven't looked at that section of the guide since the patch hit

wild
same
do you socket your primary stat gem into disc?
Link the sim. Are you including gems for the belt socket?
Exactly how much better is sub supposed to be in ST? I'm seeing a difference of like 2.7-2.9m in bleed build (simming for M+) versus 3.4-3.5m or so in sub which seems really big, if that's how it is that's fine just wondering if I'm messing something up
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7fincANoDFW5ZWibq5CWAW
the gems are the same in both belts, they both have socket. Is there something I'm supposed to do to make sure the sim knows that?
You have to have gems selected and possibly “replace gems” checked
sub will do more if you’re planning around its cds
assa can do pretty high damage on aoe with almost no commitment
this means it's selected right?
okay then I have no idea what you mean
new pin baited me 
oh wtf...
macro finally works!
so are you saying the sim just ignores all existing socketed gems unless you do this?
No it’s just that if you want to add gems to the gear you are simming you need to select gems
And if you’re replacing you need to check the box
sim looks good you are fine
okay thank you
Me: sees new pin
Me gets hyped
Me: oh... its just so people understand how to play.
prob the 3 pieces of jewelry with heavy crit and the pissmaker dropping the value
no

can someone explain 1 thing, today i take antena from vault, how this trinket working, i always should take some purple balls or what
that's correct
idk, saw a reddit post about somebody ranting about the state of rogue, and then it was just the ussual "i wanna be OP like frost dk but cant be op like frost dk, REALZ MUST LISTEN NOW" and for some reason started to dunk on whisp
aka
talking about rogue
lil purple balls spawn around you and you pick them up
the ussual stuff
lol
Purple orb spawns, floats to you, pick up, get crit
howling
but for key i saw ball only once maybe because im blind or idk
Def spawns more than once
im afraid you might be blind then
they defs spawn a lot
You can get a WA that tracks when it spawns / how many you have but you really don’t need all that
for anyone that wants to backread

they should remove the mastery buff from tea imo
that ability is confused about wtf its supposed to be for
now im learning game and trying focus on buttons interrupts and something like that, bit hard to see orbs, maybe because i take this trinket today
can i get WA for spawn orbs?
it's a lot to take in all at once, if you're still learning just don't worry about it
just know it's working fine
the orbs come to you, so unless you're actively running away from them you'll be picking them up
^
so if its big pull or boss all guchi and orbs coming anyway ?
yeah
you don't really need to think about it, there's usually more important stuff to pay attention to
true but im trying my best and improve my dps
