But you just want it every 3 minutes with deathmark

#

That's the main timing

marsh ferry
#

if you macro trinket into vanish then you want to press it right before DM

zealous moth
#

you can still run the one from base rogue tree

#

20% dmg reduction

hexed pumice
zealous moth
#

i mean, that's preference

hexed pumice
#

so outside of that, evasion has no use right

zealous moth
#

if you are feinting a lot, cheat death is worseish

#

bc that's assuming you're gonna die

solemn laurel
#

so this opener is ok

red schooner
hexed pumice
#

looks good

solemn laurel
#

whenever mark comes back up i can do this type of rotation again

hexed pumice
#

some people open without ambush and with garrote only

#

dunno which one is better

zealous moth
#

not before?

#

i mean it's not gonna make a HUGE dif but

hexed pumice
#

oh i'd use the temper with DM too

zealous moth
#

isn't it better?

marsh ferry
#

yeah potion buffs coins

solemn laurel
#

ive gotta macro the potion

hexed pumice
#

y

zealous moth
#

i always just pot > shiv > dm > etc

solemn laurel
#

to cast before my dm and trinket

zealous moth
#

or pot >dm > shiv if ds

#

if you want to go full psycho you can pot on pull

#

should still cover your DM and KB

#

and you get the stats for the rest of your opener

#

#

also, i have the dagg from m loom, do i use over crit mastery crafted

hi guys, can someone explain how should i use prism in M+ bleed build? i saw a lot of video, someone use after deathmark, someone before, is it make difference ?

#

Hey quick question, nothing is simming higher than my 671 Jastor's Diamond..Should I just swap it with something else? T_T

coral ibex
#

bind to DM

solemn laurel
#

another quick question, are we still spending at 5 like deathstalker

zealous moth
#

yeah

#

bc it flips coins

ancient ingot

zealous moth
#

correct

ancient ingot
#

yesterday i kill king hc and have only 50 green logs, after i check top logs and saw i dont need save cs on titan and i can burst it, am i right?

zealous moth
#

you use it every other deathmark, so binding it to vanish just makes it naturally line up

#

that way you do DM+vanish(prism) > DM > DM+vanish(prism)

zealous moth
sleek night
#

Why is this a waste of craft?

zealous moth
#

don't know the specifics, but you're basically using a craft for about 1400 stats when you can just craft a ring/neck/belt

ancient ingot
#

i mean should i save on next phase or i can burst titan ?

red schooner
ancient ingot
#

for better value from my dps

red schooner
#

It should be bottom of the priority list

echo plume
zealous moth
#

also see? this guy crafted a neck, that´s 9500 worth of secondary stats vs ~1500 from a dagger

red schooner
#

And your shiv on just the kingsbane should cover the last 8 seconds

zealous moth
#

even 703 wrists have more stats than 720 dagger

Better to have the shivs covering the DM

He's citing you

zealous moth
#

during DM KB caps in like 5 seconds

west crown
#

I am citing him

#

This is not an original thought

zealous moth
#

and shiv should cover deathmark always when it is up

woven frost

#

Logically I’d agree with you. But I don’t doubt sim man

earnest remnant
#

in his originally

red schooner
#

Ryz, find me a screenshot, where he says to not cover deathmark

#

Please

earnest remnant
#

it was last 8 on kb

#

as per his video

west crown
#

I’ll look. I’m on my phone so bear with me

earnest remnant
#

but it was changed a week or so alter

#

to just be covering DM

red schooner
#

Thanks Stealthi.

woven frost
#

So refresh as soon as first shiv expires, yes?

zealous moth
#

yeah

woven frost
#

Dang this was helpful. I was also saving for last ~8 seconds for the second one

#

A shiv sandwich if you will

west crown
#

Yeah I guess it changed.

woven frost

Now I know it’s supposed to be a shiv pizza

west crown

Not trying to argue. Just misinformed

It's cool dude.

#

It happens.

Your question helped me. So I’m appreciative

# zealous moth craft an alchemy stone and toss the C prism 🤡

Had to log in to see what I have and don’t have. I already have chest tier piece at heroic. I’m waiting on Cata charge for heroic legs next week unless I get a myth track item. I already have a neck crafted and for trinks I am currently using heroic antenna and nether (champ track) for raid I normally swap nether for heroic sacbrood or mythic crystal but need to resim m+ since I got a heavy crit ring in vault. The only thing I could really think of crafting outside of off hand was a different ring instead of ring of the panoply or a waist but I was under the impression that waist should be disc belt till you get mythic track BIS?

This may be a stupid question, but just trying to understand my logs more. Are we dumping envenoms/ruptures into living masses in P1 of dimmy? or just hard focusing boss and cleaving the living masses in some way?

Tail flips ftw

My ST sims for raid are showing like 3.1M and I’m hitting well over that generally but I’m still parsing really bad on heroics. I need to get better with using vanish cause I don’t use it nearly often enough in my CD windows. But I’m hitting like 1M dps more than what my sims are saying I should often times.

oak tangle

#

You're probly simming without raid buffs

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

Loom, fract unless I get lots of pings for mechanics on me, sometimes plexus but I really just need to get better with timing CDs with the pushback.

oak tangle
#

loom has a damage amp below 50%

sleek night
#

I cannot for the life of me do well with araz and soul hunters though.

oak tangle
#

not a fair comparison

zealous moth
#

are you going DS or FB for araz?

zealous moth
sleek night
#

For fract, I believe I will do better now, I didn’t know till today that I can step the mechanics

oak tangle
#

if you are beating your sims, you must not be using raid buffs on sims

zealous moth
#

plus, with cloak you can immune the big explosion, so you have no downtime unless you get the webs

sleek night
jolly stirrup
#

Is there a reason why this log doesnt have an ambush out of vanish?

zealous moth
#

at this point, for heroic go FB with spatter

jolly stirrup
#

but a mutilate?

zealous moth
#

you can immune it with shadow cloak

#

more uptime = more dps

oak tangle
jolly stirrup
#

i know that fb doesnt need it

#

Oh, I always just left with group. I didn’t even think about that. I always got spam pinged in pugs so I figured I just needed to so I stepped into the allies on the edge and never tried again

zealous moth
oak tangle
#

potentially, ambush doesn't apply as many poisons stacks, ans mutilate has a highger chance to hit 5 cp

zealous moth
#

but it's just knowing your class

sleek night
royal lantern
#

i mean, it makes no real difference lol

oak tangle
#

no, and not worth caring about optimising

jolly stirrup
#

ok so I can just keep my ambush out of vanish then ^^

#

tyty

jolly stirrup
marsh ferry
oak tangle
#

it's more that vanish is for double jeopardy, so you can also just be pressing it prior to a finisher

oak tangle
#

garotte into mut, is more likely to get to 5cp than ambush into garrote

zealous moth
#

wait, can you explain how mutilate applies more poisons than ambush?

#

i got stuck on that

zealous moth
#

and ambush doesn't???

#

bruh

oak tangle
#

nope

zealous moth
#

i honestly thought they were the same abilit

#

except higher dmg

sleek night
#

Even still it wouldn’t matter wouldn’t it? You aren’t using KB till after that point and use muti a few times at least before KB too?

oak tangle
#

there was degen shit before about making sure NOT to ambush back when we got kb back

marsh ferry
#

I think there was a time in DF where we wanted to mutilate even with subterfuge active

#

yeah

zealous moth
#

makese sense, if mutilate double crits it's 5 combo points with deal fate, right?

#

while ambush gives 4 on a crit

oak tangle
#

nah you take the 3 cp ambush, they both can hit 5

#

but it's only one roll for crit on ambush, its 2 on mut

zealous moth
#

true

zealous moth
sleek night
zealous moth
#

yeah

coral ibex
sleek night
#

May have been 5 but pretty sure it was 6

coral ibex
#

ambush can’t give 6 cp

sleek night
#

Oh bugs how lovely

zealous moth
#

assuming what memez says is correct

#

you get 3 from ambush and if it crits +1from seal fate +1 from deal fate

#

so 5 total

#

but yeah, your deathmark coins give combo points if they crit, so that could have added more

oak tangle
#

ambush is 3 or 5 cp, mut is 2, 4 or 5

zealous moth
#

wouldn't it be 2 4 or 6?

oak tangle
#

deal doesnt proc twice

zealous moth
#

or does deal fate proc once even if seal procs twice?

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.

that just means "get 2 different trinkets" anyway, which is kinda normal if you wanna play different specs

slate crown

Meh I understand that. Just think it’s a weird take for DH.

and lets be real, you wont need a 2nd set of trinkets cus Havoc will be dead in the water for atleast 2 raid tiers dracthyr_kek

However I love that the fel scarred "no mover" build is not no mover because you still have to run all over the god damn place trying to pick up the stupid fucking demon soul on the ground from the tier set it's awful

How unfortunate for me who is trying to refine my gameplay in Assa, we can try to communicate thanks to the translation, aha, and in 2K25 after all

sleek night
# feral basin 24% Crit 53%Masty 21% haste

My crit is at like 47% rn. Crit will definitely play a huge role because of how SF and DF work. And since assa is very energy starved, the less you need to muti to CP gen, the better.

#

I do think my crit may be a bit high though

#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
  • Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

honestly, if they fix sanguine and singular focus, idk if we really gaining any dps back

I mean fixing singular focus would def be a gain, esp on higher keys when groups pull packs onto a boss it's noticable

Higher keys maybe, but for the average Joe (me) doing 10s and possibly 12/13 soon for the 3k, i dont think it will be noticeable

but im not a maths guy

10s just don't live long enough for me to even have to restealth mid pull

Yeah but my Envenom not mattering as much isn’t fun

waxen oyster
#

people really out here thinking adding kb adds depth

shy creek
#

bleed is just yea im at 15m dps hitting garrote

runic hinge
#

Cleave doesn’t have more buttons or gameplay?

shy creek
#

yipee

west crown
#

Otherwise I’d play feral

waxen oyster
#

but saying cleave is more complex than bleed is the most cope shit

shy creek
#

who said cleave was more complex

mint urchin
shy creek
#

its just mroe fun

#

also kb is just more fun to play with bcuz assa is already an afk spec

#

may as well hit one extra button a minute to go yay i did smthn

waxen oyster
runic hinge
#

More fun to play
Look inside
Same exact game play

prisma carbon
#

CT in ST is cringe

shy creek
#

huh, same exact gameplay

#

did u play cleave lmao

mint urchin
shy creek
#

u do not spread 15 garrotes and 8 ruptures

mint urchin
#

Not much

shy creek
#

u didnt even press garrote mots of the time in cleave

waxen oyster
#

and call that more interactive

#

holy shit the bar of wow players

marsh fjord
#

I think most people enjoy playing bleed.

#

it just sucks in ST

#

but i think thats completely fine

#

cant have everything

runic hinge
shy creek
#

so it is different gameplay

#

?

waxen oyster
#

not really...

#

changing your builder

shy creek
#

wait no if i replace fok with whirlwind

#

wait im playing warrior

waxen oyster
#

core of the spec is the same

shy creek
#

holy!!!

#

assa = fury

#

lmfao

runic hinge
#

You’re exchanging like 4 globals a pack Wowie

waxen oyster
#

assa has never been a complex spec

runic hinge
#

And calling that “so much more fun”

#

“Better gameplay”

#

Wild

shy creek
#

god forbid i have an opinion

waxen oyster
#

anyone whos only played assa since IC got introduced

#

is pretty much playing a drooler

shy creek
#

wait let me go play lbeed, tonynugz said its mroe fun actually

#

he knows how i feel abt it

#

trust

runic hinge
#

I didn’t say bleed was more fun

waxen oyster
#

point is they play the same

runic hinge
#

You said cleave was more fun. I’m saying they’re the same

waxen oyster
#

adding kb every minute doesnt add much

runic hinge
#

You’re maining bleeds and pressing envenom

marsh fjord
#

Here is an opinion foryou feel like IC should get removed and your bleeds should always apply to 3 people no matter if you are stealth or not

prisma carbon
#

gameplay is mostly the same, but i personally found it more enjoyable to have more of our damage come from spatter/envenom

waxen oyster
#

if anything maintaining bleeds on big packs for extended periods is probably more complex

#

than slamming envenom into a main target

waxen oyster
lunar pond
#

I don’t really get how damage distribution makes something fun or not. Same 10 things, whether all even or 1-2 outliers. What does it matter

main bridge
#

It matters because of how fun it is

#

If you ever visit the affliction channel you’ll see the #1 complaint is having to manually apply Agony to 15 mobs

wicked carbon
#

Did they update the points we get per m+ dungeon ?
I just ran a key that I already had and gained 40 points

runic hinge
#

Did you do it faster?

#

2 or 3 chest rewards more points

main bridge
#

Probably a new bug. Someone in another server is talking about this too

wicked carbon
#

No

runic hinge
#

Which dungeon was it

wicked carbon
#

Ara Kara

main bridge
#

me and my boys just depleted a 15 priory and all of us got 40 score, even the guy who already timed it before

runic hinge
#

Weird

#

You know it has been taking more 13’s this season to get 3k so maybe

wicked carbon
#

yeah that's what i thought

lunar pond
#

They stealth nerfed so maybe stealth buffed to comp?

#

15 > 12

waxen oyster
#

last season you could get 3k without 13s

#

My guild's mw did it

lunar pond
#

12 > 15

waxen oyster
#

You had to 2 chest every 12

#

though

wicked carbon
#

Last season it was like full 12 and a couple of 13 gave you 3000

royal lantern
wicked carbon
#

unless you had crazy timers ye

waxen oyster
#

nah

wicked carbon
#

Assa and sub don't play the same at all lol

waxen oyster
#

let me find it

#

its harder if you pug yeah because most pugs fucking suck at pressing damage buttons

marsh fjord
#

You need 6 13's this season

#

to get 3k

waxen oyster
#

i was beating people on boss dam as assa

#

without extra mobs

#

....

lunar pond
grand trail
#

anyone know if you can equipp two different entropy rings?

wicked carbon
#

I mean every rogue spec has poisons

#

They are on the common tree

#

Sub poisons don't play a major role in their gameplay at all

#

And Assa has much more consistent damage in aoe

lunar pond
#

They both bleed things, only the important rogue specs can bleed things

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

Anyone know why am i only doing any good damage on Loom ? like doing the same with first boss or fractilus and it's feel weirdly different

old obsidian

FROM*

waxen oyster
#

Loom has a ramping damage buff

old obsidian
unborn rain
#

i got a forge from weekly and its useless in st

#

sick

waxen oyster
#

also plexus should naturally be lower since you have some downtime

old obsidian
#

i have problem with the 1 boss >_>

#

the other ones are good but with that boss i cant pass 80+

main bridge
#

Looks like you already did

#

Nice job

cunning scaffold
#

For loomithar parses, kill time is huge

main bridge
#

Kill time is huge for all parses

waxen oyster
#

loom is particularly weird

cunning scaffold
#

You either want a cooldown naturally on the amp, and another during execute, or two during execute

waxen oyster
#

because some people's ends right after 6min cds

#

and some right before

#

Well, you probably should have sub 6min kills going forward

#

unless people die

does anyone notice the free 40 rio points we were given right now?

mint urchin

I think they are balancing scores from last season to this season, last season all 14 was like 3180ish, and now all 14 is like 3140

wind totem
#

Is it just me or is cheat death useless on Salhadaar? It seems like it always procs AFTER you get MCed

marsh fjord
#

if loom dies before 6 minutes you cant parse

wind totem
#

I mean you can get 95+ with a sub 6 min for sure.

#

Maybe not rank 1

waxen oyster
#

yeah just bug

marsh fjord
#

oh yeah you can. if you get like 100 coins in a row

waxen oyster
#

like i think you can still parse well

#

but rank 1 will likely be a post 6 min kill with god procs

cunning scaffold
#

I had an opener the other night where I noticed I had 15 coins

old obsidian
#

maybe dont hit the adds in the 1 boss and run direct to the boss will help (?)

cunning scaffold
#

It just kept going

waxen oyster
#

?

#

You dont hit plexus adds

#

you rupture them at most

#

then run

#

xD

old obsidian
#

yeah but get yell

#

jajajaja

waxen oyster
#

"team hold up i need 3-4 gcds to ramp to real damage"

main bridge
#

we are rogues we do not hit adds

waxen oyster
#

We do hit adds

#

we yell at dks to grip them in

#

for cleave

zealous moth
#

I DO NOT TARGET SWAP, I DO NOT HIT ADDS, I CLEAVE AND IF THE BARRELS ARE OUT OF CAUSTIC RANGE, I KILL MYSELF

marsh fjord

i had a 97 today post 6 minutes

waxen oyster
#

music 200%, raidlead muted

#

pure vibing

old obsidian
#

o shiet

#

wait a sec

cunning scaffold
#

I usually slam a token rupture on the tangles once my kingsbane is ramped enough

#

But I doubt it’s a dps increase. It’s just for posturing

old obsidian
#

that day all the fuking crit hit hard and all the add at my feet the whole fight

cunning scaffold
#

To not get yelled at

waxen oyster
#

oh ill mouseover rupture if its close

marsh fjord
waxen oyster
#

when im low energy

#

for the snipe

lusty kraken
cunning scaffold
#

Yeah, but I do lose a bit of kingsbane from it. The energy is nice for sure

old obsidian
#

is it also a bit of luck?

waxen oyster
#

Rupture snipes are free energy provided you dont spend 2-3 gcds off the boss

#

to achieve it

marsh fjord
#

This is our tangle damage

#

Look at mine

#

XDDDD

waxen oyster
#

i wonder how much of the dh damage

zealous moth
#

unless you're playing DS and you can dump a DN on the tangles

waxen oyster
#

is just demonsurge pooping

#

when they're near

zealous moth
#

assa rogue is worthless so

waxen oyster
#

honestly assa is good at add dam

#

just not hardswap style

zealous moth
#

even in that case, the mark will probably bug because half the adds on raid bosses "die" and never proc darkest night

royal lantern
#

^

#

the problem is

#

assa can do good add dmg if adds dont die in 4 seconds

#

but thats kinda what happens in every tier after 3 weeks

marsh fjord
#

ón that log i just use a rupture

#

and go back to the boss

zealous moth

doing a priory for ring so i can get rid of this damn jastor

cunning scaffold

You guys ever shadowstep a tangle and rupture on the last global it’s alive? It feels so sketch

balmy condor
#

I don’t hit tangles as a concept

royal lantern
#

same

#

just internal bleeding and zug zug loom

wind totem
#

Just put a rupture for the energy and pretend they dont exist

royal lantern
#

what are tangles

zealous moth
#

why hit tangles when you can just hit your head against your desktop

#

it will do more damage

royal lantern
scarlet wyvern
#

how is it possible that assa doesnt get fixed since 3+ weeks?

#

fkn insane

marsh fjord

because it isnt high prio

zealous moth

bc rogue as a whole has like

5 players

#

why would they care

wicked carbon
#

Are they even aware

balmy condor
#

Yes

wicked carbon
#

ok they just don't care then

#

or it's hard to fix

royal lantern
#

or, you know

its maybe harder to fix

marsh fjord
#

it might get fixed on oct 7 who knows

wicked carbon
#

For such a fix to create so many bugs, it must be spaghetti code

royal lantern
#

like, in the end its not gamebreaking

and if its not actually gamebreaking and doesnt create a bigger outrage, its kinda low priority

mossy nest
#

tuning

zealous moth
#

i'll say what i've been saying since start of season

wicked carbon
#

It is game breaking

balmy condor
zealous moth
#

if you design the tier set around hero talent trees

mossy nest
#

when are we to expect a buff ?

wind totem
#

I actually like the bug on forgeweaver. Lets me put some cds while they are adds around

zealous moth
#

you CAN NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE have 2 hero tree talents that straight up dont work

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

rotund oasis
#

wow analyzer with assa is kinda weird tho as it gives you bad marks for downtime even though you need to pool

midnight scroll
#

you don't really need to pool

rotund oasis
#

i mean it's that or just be energy starved and afk anyway

main bridge
#

so...AFK or AFK?

desert crest
#

Pooling is good.

#

Not pooling is bad.

royal lantern
#

what

#

???

#

pooling has not beeing a thing for a good while now, what are you talking about

desert crest
#

Guessing ur non deathmarked kingsbane stacks slightly slow

#

??

#

What

#

No waaay

#

how did i know

royal lantern
midnight scroll
royal lantern
#

mf that apperantely doesnt even know how KB stacking works telling me about it now

rotund oasis
#

idk unless you have 20% haste ur pooling or afk'ing

royal lantern
desert crest
#

In order to have high uptime on 2x envenom in ur kingsbane u need to pool a bit of energy before ur kingsbane

midnight scroll
midnight scroll
#

yes it feels better to be able to envenom during kb, but incredibly marginal difference in dps

desert crest
#

Still better

royal lantern
#

thats not some bigtime pooling

#

and it doesnt even make a real difference in the end aswell lol, aslong as you have full envenom uptime, you did your part in KB

desert crest
#

full 2x envenom is better than full 1x

#

but yeah it is small

zealous moth
#

man

royal lantern
#

you know whats even better?

zealous moth
#

warlock got the ring drop

royal lantern
#

not losing envneom casts at all

zealous moth

gave it to our tank bc it was named "girlgoop"

#

i want to kms

You are not losing casts by pooling

zealous moth
#

i hate m+

i need an auto block auto ignore dc lagswitch for all quelthalas players in m+

zealous moth

i could link it but i doubt the name of the wa will be discord friendly

unborn rain

and rag

royal lantern
#

bro, calling that shit pooling is allready a giant stretch lol

desert crest
#

Okay sorry bro

unborn rain
desert crest
#

I should have said don't pool energy just stop casting for a little bit before ur kingsbane. Just didn't really fit the theme...

#

Wasn't really meant to be a thesis

zealous moth
#

i mean i don't mean to be that guy but

#

that is literally what is described as pooling in the wowhead guide

#

so i assume most rogues just refer to that as pooling

west crown
#

It’s pooling. Just not the pooling of the past

desert crest
#

I mean i don't think it would be bad to pool for a long time

main bridge
#

the wowhead guide also talks about Sanguine Blades, which anyone here would tell you to ignore

royal lantern
#

we had that in DF s3 kinda peeposhrug

desert crest
#

Aslong as u are not losing uptime on envenom

main bridge
#

i often wonder why that is there

runic hinge
#

Nah. You want to advance mark as much as possible or flip coins as much as possible

zealous moth
#

yo i just got a H prism from a weekly chest

#

LMFAO

runic hinge
#

Pooling is dead

desert crest
#

Should we be pooling before exectue aswell?

#

I feel like it might be worth it

main bridge
#

if you like AFKing that much you should try Subtlety

zealous moth
desert crest
#

Someone smart has probably already thought about it and checked

#

Also would be interesting to know at what %dmg amp it is worth it to pool and for how long we should be pooling in that case

runic hinge
#

The robot has already checked and said it’s not worth except if you’re under 50% for 3 seconds before non-dm kb

royal lantern
#

@balmy condor whisp, people are weird about "pooling" again

runic hinge
#

But I’m also pretty sure you’re baiting

midnight scroll
desert crest
#

50/50 between memeing and actual curiosity

unborn rain
#

fuck bbg come sit with me lets laugh at people in disc chat talking about pooling

desert crest
runic hinge
#

Yes

desert crest
#

Okay cool did not know that thanks

runic hinge
#

And even then it’s like .4% better than just sending everything

#

Like not doing it is barely worse

desert crest
#

Very true

runic hinge
#

You want to be advancing mark or flipping coins.

#

The spec is super loaded into the hero talents rn

desert crest
#

wdym advancing?

runic hinge
#

You have 3 stacks you wanna advance to darkest night

desert crest
#

ohh nevermind

#

Yeah that does make sense

runic hinge
#

You want as many darkest nights as possible

royal lantern
runic hinge
#

Because it does huge damage, energy refund, and guaranteed crit

desert crest
#

Altough pooling should only delay ur darkest night not casue u to get fewer

#

since we arent gcd locked

#

But we are close in raid

unborn rain
runic hinge
#

You want mark up asap

#

And everytime you consume a mark stack it does damage

#

It is not more damage to pool

#

And if you pool a little too much and don’t advance suddenly you’ve lost damage

#

So it’s easier to just spam your buttons and maybe worry about energy before non-dm kb

unborn rain
#

theyre talking about pooooling again i need u soooo baddd

desert crest
#

Yes i get that part

#

I guess we might be approximately gcd locked in raid then

red schooner

I wonder if they'll change how title works, seems daft that early season feels irrelevant

waxen oyster
#

hasnt it always

#

also imo title should not be account wide

red schooner
#

Make it like HoF, first X amount of people to hit 4k

#

Or something I dunno

waxen oyster
#

if you earn title it should only be usable on the class you got it as

red schooner
#

This idea is probably terrible

waxen oyster
#

hof would be alot cooler if they didnt leave the thing open

until reset

which causes like 200 guilds to spam OT the last reset

Not sure how worth it is tho

You need to have quite fast loading screens

waxen oyster

non ssd gamers

at most its like 20-30s

lost

desert crest

Yeah 2x loading screens in under 10 sec is rough

not counting reaction time and movement time

waxen oyster
#

can they not start the key with you outside

desert crest
#

No

spice surge
#

Nop

waxen oyster
#

i always leave at like 2-3

desert crest
#

So before the key is put in?

waxen oyster
#

no

#

i leave like 3 before the yellow goes away

desert crest
#

I think u should leave as fast as possible

waxen oyster
#

i dont like doing it in pugs

#

because pug tanks wont wait

desert crest
#

And depding on loading screen speed go in again as fast as possible

zealous moth
#

prism stronk

desert crest
#

I calculated the cutoff where it stops being worth to do it given that the group waits and u are the only one doing it

#

And it is on the order of: ~5-10 sec

waxen oyster
#

yeah big part of that is if group waits

spice surge
#

Theres no shot its not worth it

#

Even if they dont wait

waxen oyster
#

db it feels iffy

#

if they dont

#

since first pack is right there

desert crest
#

Need to be a high key ofc

Should be very good on sub since the lost time doesn't really matter there

waxen oyster

in a high key i pray your tank has 2 braincells to wait

or easiest back to the queue
