but currently using the mask

I guess I'll use the Mage Tower Set + Azzinoth Shards

#

@vale fox i actually tested it, you can hit 5cps in a crit with both mutilate or ambush

vale fox
#

this is my usual

normal mist
#

so you can just have mutilate on both cases

vale fox
#

wait

#

srsly?

#

do you always crit out of stealth?

#

like first hit or something?

normal mist
#

no

#

but both can crit to 5 cps

vale fox
#

cuz what if you dont crit on the muti

#

then ur getting less cp?

#

cuz if thats the case why risk it no?

rich field
vale fox
#

took a while

normal mist
#

In theory yes, but with the huge amount of crit we have thats rarely the case, but i do see your point

vale fox
#

with my luck im gonna somehow mutilate myself and heal the boss

#

no sir. i will keep this macro like this

#

Xd

normal mist
#

it was indeed a good discussion, and again, i'm not entitled in any way being better than anyone, im a shitty heroic raider LOL

vale fox
#

all good g

#

glad we figured something out

#

i learned 2 new things i didnt know

normal mist
#

i hope you enjoy the 0.1 better average

vale fox
#

niceeeee

#

literally same average no?

normal mist
#

#

in case you wanna test it

normal mist
#

i know i could be better if my brain didnt afk in loomithar and died in exe phase or if i actually cleared dimy this week

vale fox
#

you can put muti on some hidden bar and have extra space for something else on main bar

normal mist
#

this are my bars

#

stealth bar on the bottom

vale fox
#

oh shit

#

brother

#

try my ui

normal mist
#

negative

#

mine has been forged in flames for years

vale fox
#

well yea i do pvp also

#

so its a lil unique

#

yea i played with a very different ui from MoP until 3 weeks ago

#

and then i overhauled everything

#

like 100% of it

#

it was weird at first but after that i got better results

#

due to cleaning everything up and remapping my intel gathering

normal mist
#

btw tmog wise, currently using this

vale fox
#

this is part new set from that trading post no?

#

looks actually nice

#

eyepatch and everything

#

if the fight ends before we get our 3rd deathmark off, does DPS tank a ton?

look at those DKs pumping lol

#

3min20s fight

#

my sim showed 4.9m for a 5min fight

#

im a little below average because only managed to get off 2 sets of CDs

#

heroic fractillus btw

jaunty sky
#

yeah missing the last DM by that little is not great for dmg, especially bc it's the only one in execute(i assume)

#

and if you're stacking the big prism for that DM it's even worse

#

this is a 3min 20s kill where i pooled everything for the end and got 6s of my big CDs in

ionic hill
#

are we just not good at dawnbreaker

#

im always 3rd dps

royal lantern
vernal trout
ionic hill
ionic hill
red schooner
#

Also no execute on last boss

jaunty sky
#

yeah last boss is what makes it really bad

#

u got funnel on every mini boss

#

and funnel targets in like every pull

jaunty sky
#

u got 10s more DM than us majj

oak tangle
#

4.9 if i got from 3:20

jaunty sky
oak tangle
#

what you mean

jaunty sky
#

you casted DM at 3:13

#

is what i mean

oak tangle
#

right, but i meant that if i stop the fight at 3:20 like you guys, my dps is 4.9m

humble verge
haughty flicker
#

i wanna check

#

what my giga dogshit parse would look like at 3:20

oak tangle
#

wont work well

haughty flicker
#

i dont mean actual parse

#

i just mean raw number

oak tangle
#

cause any times too far apart have dif executes

jaunty sky
#

i wanna know where i would be with like 10s longer kill time

oak tangle
#

like my myth plexus parse is ass, cause my 3 min dm window is at 36% boss hp

#

during shield

strange moss
#

for st fatebound sin in raid, i have thistle tea macroed with shiv. should i be pooling to around 200 energy before pressing shiv and kingsbane? or should it be lower? also shiv -> deathmark -> kingsbane

oak tangle
#

you only pool to 150 for asolo kingsbane

#

don't think about tea

strange moss
#

are u talking about shiv -> kingsbane? or kingsbane by itself?

oak tangle
#

you don't shiv kingsbane without dm

#

so solo kingsbane is without dm

strange moss
#

shiv is 30 seconds and kingsbane is 1min won't they naturally line up?

oak tangle
#

fatebound is not 1min

#

it's 45s

#

so you alternate

#

shiv > dm > kb > shiv

kb > shiv

shiv > dm > kb > shiv

etc

#

!shiv

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

strange moss
#

thanks for your help but is there a talent to make it 45 seconds? i can't find what im missing

oak tangle
#

4 pc

#

fatebound

#

makes dm 1.5 min

strange moss
#

aahh that makes sense

#

gotcha thanks man i really appreciate it

oak tangle
#

make sure you get the opener right

it's super important or you dont get the cdr

antennaglorp Vanishing On Fatebound antennaglorp

  • you vanish for double jeopardy, a Fatebound talent
  • this causes your next flip to flip an additional coin, and this coin can be an edge-case coin
  • because of this, you want to vanish when you know the next flip is an edge-case flip
  • edge case flips happen as a result of pressing deathmark, kingsbane, or the two envenoms afterwards which are affected by cold blood. You can vanish before ANY of these flips.
  • you should be vanishing every 3 minutes, lining up with every other deathmark, and this will also align with netherprism every 3 minutes for maximum burst

does anyone know how to sim with the nerfed belt for next patch

#

is there an override you can use

glossy dust
#

the rupture and envenom flip one itself - that can be either and with vanish u get 2 flips that are both and edge case if i understand correctly

#

if someone knows how it exactly works

#

im having trouble piecing it together tbh

#

i asume it works with double jeopardy so u get 2x2 edge case flips

#

so vanish into deathmark gives u 4 ?

unborn rain
#

what is confusing about

glossy dust
#

piecing it together rn

#

2p flips another edge case coin

#

double jeopardy flips 2 being the same guaranteed

unborn rain
#

its really not rocket science

crisp sluice
#

any tips for full bleed build in M+ on 15+ keys? Im struggling big time with my ST on bosses at the 15 level

unborn rain
#

hit the funny opener in the right order

oak tangle
#

env - 1/0
dm - 3/2
kb - 5/4
cold blood + vanish + env - 7/6
second env - 9/8

unborn rain
#

and stop thinking about it lo

glossy dust
#

its called understanding

unborn rain
#

lol

oak tangle
#

tier set doubles the effect of edge case, and using vanish / cold blood we can gurantee edge cases

glossy dust
#

i read it as either deathmark or kb would 2x edge case

#

but from your list i see they both do

oak tangle
#

kb and dm are double edge cases, cb copies the previous (edge cases) twice and vanish makes any of the previous 2 env give an extra stack

#

so you dont even need the vanish, but if you press rupture before the second envenom you can cook yourself

glossy dust
#

i understand - ty

#

since cb copies the previous it shouldnt matter if i bind it to kb then

#

i think

oak tangle
#

exactly, and that's why we do it

glossy dust
#

its just moves the numbers back

#

does it work

#

i guess

#

it would be 7/6 on kb then and 8/7 after first env

oak tangle
#

why?

#

you have to use the env

#

cb doesn't copy

#

it just makes the env copy

glossy dust
#

iirc cb works for next two abilites + somenthing else

oak tangle
#

2 more env

glossy dust
#

ye

#

so the ability after copies the coin before

oak tangle
#

how are we at 7/6 on the kb

glossy dust
#

youre right the env would copy whatever kb flipped

#

wait no

#

i didnt read properly sorry it only applies to envenom it says right there

oak tangle
#

👍

glossy dust
#

aight have to make a note on that opener looks a bit diffrent

oak tangle
#

it's in the guide?

#

??

glossy dust
#

not complety no?

oak tangle
#

the only thing that is not completely in the guide

#

is that you can vanish anywhere between the shiv and the envenom

glossy dust
#

but also not the double envenom

#

i cant find the message rn

#

the two envenoms were right behind eachother

oak tangle
#

it is more important on dm windows without vanihs

oak tangle
#

cause vanish allows you to not need the double

glossy dust
#

i see

oak tangle
#

but you would still not want to rupture before you consume the cb stacks

#

cause you'll break half of the streak

glossy dust
#

there is quiet some things happening

#

streak?

oak tangle
#

coins?

#

what do you mean

glossy dust
#

ah

#

ye obv

#

it also flips

#

what youre trying to say is lucky coin streak or the time i have the double buff

oak tangle
#

so with all the cd's we are talking about, you will have something like 10 stacks of tails and 9 stacks of heads

#

if you rupture early, you will snap it from being 11 and 10, to being just 11 or 10

glossy dust
#

i have no clue what that means

oak tangle
#

edge case

#

is a tails and heads

glossy dust
#

yes the next finisher

#

flips tails/heads again right?

fallen charm
#

Insted of 11/10 you'd be 10

glossy dust
#

so either one

oak tangle
#

so when you chain edge cases you get stacks of both

glossy dust
#

oh the or i didnt see

#

inbetween 11 OR 10

oak tangle
#

for the most part you wont have to worry

glossy dust
#

what i dont see is since the next finisher has to flip either heads or tails

#

i will be im guessing that stacks to 12 or 11

oak tangle
#

essentially yeah

glossy dust
#

so that one finisher (plus builders)

#

are not getting both

oak tangle
#

builders?

#

what

glossy dust
#

mutilate

oak tangle
#

it has zero impact on coins

glossy dust
#

no but the other way around

#

what im saying is

#

if i rupture early

#

i wont get dmg + the % on the builders too

#

until the next finisher that will flip either heads or tails

#

atleast thats how i understand the "damage of your attacks +10%"

oak tangle
#

i mean yeah sure, it's a weird distinction to make

#

no

#

all our abilities are attacks

#

env, rupture, garrote etc

glossy dust
#

yes thts how i understand it aswell

oak tangle
#

so why make the distinction

glossy dust
#

what distinction

#

i was trying to say

oak tangle
#

we lose stacks, doesn't matter if its on mutilate or not

glossy dust
#

so we are at 11 and 10

#

we flip a coin at a finisher

#

you say dont rupture early so that you dont be 11 or 10

oak tangle
#

that's not what i said

glossy dust
#

then i added oh and the builders

oak tangle
#

i said dont rupture when you have 2 cb charges

glossy dust
#

sorry didnt add that to it

oak tangle
#

consume the cb charges on env before you rupture

glossy dust
#

and then i tried to add

#

got it

#

ill just double envenom to make sure

#

the point i was trying to make was meaningless anyway since its just extra

oak tangle
#

the only time where you may come across it is mid fight, if your rupture is expiring soon

glossy dust
#

quiet some things to keep in mind

oak tangle
#

it's not really, just learn the order and stick with it

glossy dust
#

i mean sure but its always better to understand

royal lantern
#

the biggest mistake you can do on assa is literally overthinking stuff

#

like, thats not even a exaggeration or smth like that

glossy dust
#

it def seems liek to much stuff

#

i just wanna know why its happening so i have the freedom of adapting and doing whatever i want

oak tangle
#

fatebound dm cd windwos have the same sequence every time

#

i mean you can if you want, but there's no real adapting

#

you either do x, or it's wrong

glossy dust
#

thats fine with me

#

when do u personaly vanish

oak tangle
#

at dm, cause i macro prism to it

#

and you have vanish for every second dm

glossy dust
#

i have to rethink that once again with the numbers

#

since dont need to vanish if i understand correctly if i have all cds

oak tangle
#

vanish can be anywhere in the red box

ill prob vanish before dm

#

but only on solo dm if in undertand correctly

oak tangle
#

solo dm?

normal mist
#

there not a solo dm

#

only solo KBs

glossy dust
#

uh

#

the other way around

ruby shoal
#

you do 2x shivs on dm and 1x shiv on kb

glossy dust
#

huh i had double shivs on both

#

i probably did somenthing wrong

oak tangle
#

you really need to read the guide

glossy dust
#

i did

#

i still am

#

imo its quiet somenthing happening cant remember everything instantly

#

i just scouped in because i was curious

normal mist
#

you double shiv back to back (when first finishes, you send the second) during DM KB and you pop 1 single shiv on the last 8 seconds of solo KB

glossy dust
#

no i read that the first time

#

i was under the impression on the raid i had double shiv for both

normal mist
#

negative

ruby shoal
#

you have double shiv for every DM

normal mist
#

unless you're not sending stuff on CD

ruby shoal
#

and 1x shiv for every solo KB

glossy dust
#

aight if its cd bounded than its like that anyway

#

ohh i see why

#

see now

#

ofc you cant know

the character is fresh and has only 2p

maybe something comes in vault was what I was thiunking

#

Ye

#

Sp probably belt then

oak tangle
#

keep in mind a craft will take 90 crests next week

wraith girder
#

ye but upgrading next week will cost the 30 extra plus some mats no?

oak tangle
#

yes, if you dont have myth dagger, then crafted upgrade will be most important

#

so you've already spent 30 on main hand

unborn rain
#

yeah id save crests till u see tuesdays vault

oak tangle
#

likely wanna send others into trinkets

#

crafted belt unlikely to be possible if you're at 0 gilded atm

wraith girder
#

havent spend any but I will see next week and sim again for possible upgrades, didnt even keep that in mind.

#

probably jsut take heroic belt for a bit then and live with it

vale fox
#

question. is Rupture's dmg completely linear?

#

like doesnt matter how many CP you put into it

#

?

normal mist
#

exactly

#

only the duration changes

#

thats why you cast it at 5+

vale fox
#

why cast it only at 5+ then? if you need to reapply a quick rupture you can just swing it at 2-3 cp just to not drop it and not lose much dps no?

#

i know we slap it at 5

#

but was just wondering whats to stop me from slapping it at 2-3 if i really need to

#

since its not a dps loss

#

just making sure its ok to do so

red schooner
#

Because of the hero talents.

vale fox
#

which ones

royal lantern
#

hero talents and also

red schooner
#

Need 5+ to send a coin or to progress the mark

royal lantern
#

shorter rupture duriation means you will apply it more often

vale fox
#

yea that makes sense

royal lantern
#

instead of actually pressing dmg buttons

vale fox
#

im not saying you always go for low cp rupture

#

i was just saying like instead of letting it drop

#

i can do that no

#

?

coral ibex
#

what

#

you pandemic it

vale fox
#

yea nvm got it

normal mist
# vale fox i can do that no

using a finisher below 5 cp means you're not actively working towards either more coins or using your deathstalker's mark

Hello

I had big issues with my energy during this season. Will this be fixed in midnight?

#

!design @grand atlas

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

thick sigil
#

kinda rude but

#

its a design, they're doubling down on that design

normal mist

thick sigil
#

however apex talents might give some nasty energy regen sometimes, guess we'll have to see how it plays out

#

requires pooling before tho

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

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

#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane

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

guys how can i aoe dmg , i opener garrote garrote rupture rupture ct ,mt death shiv trinket pot

Are you applying caustic to a big target and slamming envenoms after this?

storm stratus
#

nerprism and antenna have trinket

tawdry halo
#

Wait

#

Are you ambushing to apply Deathstalkers mark?

storm stratus
#

yes i first ambus

tawdry halo
#

What key levels are you running?

storm stratus
#

12-13

main bridge
#

instead of guessing you could just post a log or read a guide

tawdry halo
#

Yeah this is a log angle then

#

Why have we linked a sim?

#

If you’re comparing your actual DPS to this sim, then don’t

#

Especially since you have full raid buffs turned on and you’ve simmed dungeon slice

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.

no 🙁

jaunty sky
#

Go do one, log it and then ppl can actually give tips nise

glossy dust
#

how should the details breakdown look for an m+?

normal mist
#

CT - spatter - sanguine blades - garrote/rupture // rest

#

usually

glossy dust
#

ah fuck

#

close enough but good to know - asume the causes are evident in not using enough of x?

jaunty sky
#

It also heavily depends on key level, your gear and comp

glossy dust
#

oh it does? well key level for sure if stuff dies to fast

#

same prob if u have heavy aoe hitter classes

jaunty sky
#

Top 4 in some way should be CT, Spatter, sanguine and Rupture tho

tawdry halo
#

spatter seems very low

#

but idk could be a low key

glossy dust
#

almost made it

#

it was a m0 thats as low as it can be but i prob did not caustic enough

tawdry halo
#

oh dw then

glossy dust
#

doesnt matter i just wanted to know for like when stuff gets serious

#

more like informative

jaunty sky
#

This is from 5 keys between +10 and +13 today

#

I assume in an m0 you barely get your DoTs out before the pack is dead

glossy dust
#

eh if i moved spatter up

#

the other people were equaly unequiped so stuff did live a bit for some bleeds

jaunty sky
#

Spatter dmg really just comes from the pack being alive after youve set up the 5 ruptures

glossy dust
#

mybe i also overdid it with doting stuff that is soon dying

#

still inexpierenced

#

crazy tho how much dmg crimson tempest does

haughty flicker
#

crimson tempest fucks

glossy dust
#

its crazy

#

im still unsure about when with target count so there was prob much more applications prob and it still did that much

normal mist
#

everytime

#

theres atleast 1 target

glossy dust
#

what

#

since when

#

did i skip somenthing in the guide

normal mist
#

if you're talking about CT, you cast it even in ST

#

in bleed build m+

glossy dust
#

i was going of this

normal mist
#

Whispyr probably forgot to update that part

glossy dust
#

for the bleed build it should be fan on 5 targets and ct on 4

#

oh

normal mist
#

CT at 1 target or more

glossy dust
#

thats good to knowkekdog

normal mist
#

not forgeting it snapshots up to 5 targets

#

so its really good to refresh in bosses that have adds

glossy dust
#

snapshots what?

normal mist
#

it deals more dmg the more targets it hits, up to 5

haughty flicker
#

its updated

haughty flicker
normal mist
#

^ thank you bel

glossy dust
glossy dust
normal mist
#

even if the adds die

#

the CT dmg is still increased

glossy dust
haughty flicker
normal mist
#

xD

#

Quick maths

glossy dust
#

well ye but it does say st

#

fair to say or to asume noOMEGAKEKW

red zealot
#

Anyone happen to have a WA for lilly?

normal mist
#

why do you need a WA for lily

red zealot
#

Oh snap thought this was sub channel

#

doulbe on use problems

normal mist
#

fair

glossy dust
#

good thing to know tho - i was def not having enough uptime then

jaunty sky
#

Shows both trinket slots with CDs

red zealot
#

Tyvm my friend

slim copper
#

can i get someone to look at a log for SoulHunters for me? I genuinely don't know how to do better on that fight. I have an 86 overall for heroic. If i could get my soulhunters parse up i could easily be 90+ overall on Heroic

jaunty sky
#

Just link in here yeah

coral ibex
#

well you have a 1m30 trinket while ur playing a 2m spec

#

so thats not great

slim copper
#

the alternative was a champ track prism

coral ibex
#

looks like you aren't getting 3 target CT

slim copper
#

which i guess technically would be better

coral ibex
#

are the bosses stacked?

slim copper
#

is there any way to track it? And that was with a pug. I find that i can never get one where they stack all three together

#

even for guild runs

coral ibex
#

well you wont do great damage if the bosses aren't stacked

#

and you dont need to track prism, you just bind it to DM

slim copper
#

no i meant tracking CT

#

because it doesnt show up with plater

coral ibex
#

it definitely does by default

slim copper
#

hmmm

coral ibex
#

its a debuff

slim copper
flint tusk
#

Your Sanguine Blades damage is pretty low for that many bleeds rolling

coral ibex
#

obv it will fall off during intermissions

#

but you should try to have 100% uptime on all 3 bosses outside of those intermissions

jaunty sky
#

Theres also you using DM with only one boss out im pretty sure

coral ibex
#

oh yea dont send DM during intermissions

jaunty sky
#

I always hold that for after that intermission

coral ibex
#

only when all 3 are around

#

CT is generally your largest damage contributor in bleed build so it is very high priority

jaunty sky
#

Thats what the graph looks like if u hold it a bit

#

Actually more dmg than during BL

slim copper
#

oh wow ok. Definitely worth holding DM then. I was just sending on CD to try to fit in a third.

jaunty sky
#

Esp good with prism

#

Btw

#

Cause u get more stacks for that window

slim copper
#

yeah

coral ibex
#

this is one of my mythic kills, basically plays the same

slim copper
#

ok cool. So make sure im refreshing CT regularly and on all 3. And save the DM for after int.

coral ibex
#

yea literally just play it like m+

#

keep rup and CT on all targets

#

garrote on main

#

send CDs for cleave

jaunty sky
#

Also vanish for the DM windows

slim copper
#

does it matter which one i focus? I always just choose the one with most health and follow her

coral ibex
#

darksorrow

slim copper
coral ibex
#

move mark via DN to whoever is going into meta next

#

right before

jaunty sky
#

U can try and milk execute dmg by staying on whoever hits below 35 first as well

coral ibex
#

oh im looking at my heroic logs and rupture is my highest damage by a lot on soulhunters

#

which i guess makes sense bc of the intermissions

slim copper
#

ok gonna take a look at these while i eat. Thanks for the tips guys ❤️

jaunty sky
#

Soul hunters is actually best fight this tier imo

coral ibex
#

no shot

jaunty sky
#

At least in hc

haughty flicker
slim copper
#

call me an elitist but i hate seeing blue parses

jaunty sky
#

?? Whats better

#

Hc only i cant speak for mythic

haughty flicker
#

brother cutting my dick off with a dull butter knife is better

jaunty sky
#

Go ahead man no ones stopping you

coral ibex
#

i dont particularly like any fight on heroic because heroic is a joke of a difficulty, it poses a 5/10 challenge on week 1 and a 0/10 every week following

#

you can't even experience NK properly because you just skip all the mechs

jaunty sky
#

Nah we do star killers every week

coral ibex
#

week 1 NK was a lot of fun

#

i just find heroic to be intensely boring once you get above ~700 ilvl

haughty flicker
#

heroic it is not as bad

#

to be fair

#

soul hunters on mythic is such a dogshit fight though

#

heroic every fight is kinda just there

#

i have no strong feelings

#

one way or another

jaunty sky
#

Which is the only criticism i have about that fight, NK is very close 2nd for me
Putting super heavy personal responsibility that late into a fight just sucks for prog

coral ibex
#

there isn't even a heroic speedrunning community, at least that i know of

jaunty sky
coral ibex
#

not exactly what i mean

#

there should be some depth in solving heroic speedrunning

#

since its flex 10-30 players

#

nobody cares tho

jaunty sky
#

Yeah for what

#

Who actually checks HC speedkills

#

Or any speed kills

coral ibex
#

nobody, thats my point

#

i mean there's no "point" to any speedrunning

#

the "point" is to go fast

#

for the sake of it

jaunty sky
#

Yeah but without competition theres no meaningful innovation

coral ibex
#

the reason speedruns are a thing in classic is because the content is so easy there's nothing to do other than see who can do it the fastest

#

my point isnt even that speedruns should be a thing

#

im just pointing out that in other games when the content is so mind numbingly easy, players turn to speedrunning

#

but there is no such community in retail wow

#

(that i know of)

jaunty sky
#

In a way that part is in m+ no?

#

Theres dungeon speedrunning

coral ibex
#

thats a good point

#

they would all just play m+

haughty flicker
#

there used to be people who did speed kills in mythic

jaunty sky
#

Like not m+, finishing like classic dungeons the fastest

haughty flicker
#

idk how prevalent it is now

#

im pretty sure stealthi even did it

jaunty sky
coral ibex
#

oh cool

jaunty sky
#

And leveling speedruns

haughty flicker
#

first to max level on expansion launch was always cool

#

sucks blizzard removed the achievement

jaunty sky
#

Also double agent

#

The guy leveling only with herbs and ores in pandaria

haughty flicker
#

lmao yeah wasnt there a guy who never left panda starting zone

#

just leveling off gathering

coral ibex
#

didn't that guy do that because he was kinda special and didnt know there was more game to play

#

like he picked an herb, saw he got experience, and just continued

haughty flicker
#

he seems pretty aware there is more to the game idk

coral ibex
#

nah the guy im talking about did this like

#

in mop

haughty flicker
#

this is the same guy

#

he just kept doing it every expansion

coral ibex
#

ah i see

#

he just wanted to see if he could stay neutral

haughty flicker
#

ye hes a psychopath

#

but a dedicated psychopath

onyx coyote
#

pacifist panda

#

if i remember right

simple pumice
#

for fatebound assa is lily or forge better since its 1:30 cooldowns

#

idk how to sim it like that

spice surge
#

Sim accounts for all of it

simple pumice
#

ok cool

glossy dust
#

is dslice optimized for sin?

balmy condor
#

yes

glossy dust
#

is double on-use cancerous to play? kekdog

balmy condor
#

kinda but only cause you have to press them manually instead of macroing them

glossy dust
#

nevermind lucky its barely better than a 642 passive option

runic hinge
#

@spice spire does this scare you

slim copper
#

Fb would lily be better than prism because of cd alignment?

balmy condor
#

they are identical

#

except prism lines up with vanish every 3 min technically

#

so it better lines for big vanish bursts with amp phases such as salhadaar

#

but generally speaking, prism and lily function pretty much the same, do similar damage, and can be used pretty much interchangeably

#

prism is just the cooler older brother because of fight/timing specific min-maxing

slim copper
#

ok myth track lily > champ track prism?

#

i know i know sim it

@balmy condor Sorry not related to spec discussion, but for some reason i got a "new member" tag, and i can't find how to remove it. Any help possible ? i'v been here awhile 😄 .

balmy condor
spice spire
balmy condor
#

but with that being said

#

everyone has that tag

#

because it's the required role to open the server in the first place

#

discord onboarding is a strange thing

#

just ignore it

oak tangle
#

click on a spec tag so you get cooler colours

balmy condor
#

that doesn't remove new member

oak tangle
#

but you hide it

balmy condor
#

because the role onboarding inherently cannot remove roles

pastel roost
#

Oh weird i didn't have it sometime ago i think, but i did go in channels and roles days ago, anyways, if everyone has it it's ok i guess

balmy condor
#

only add

#

we don't have an automatic way to remove the roles

oak tangle
#

idk how i did it, but i aint have it

balmy condor
#

someone removed it from you

oak tangle
#

that seems like too much work, person who removed it is crazy

pastel roost
#

See i was foolish i clicked on this ,

oak tangle
#

aint no one making me see outlaw channel

pastel roost
balmy condor
#

that's the requirement to open the server

keen spruce
pastel roost
# balmy condor you have to

Is it possible i joined the server before this was put in place ? or is it there since forever ? i'm trying to see if ia have sanity or if i'm lost

dense cedar
balmy condor
#

I don't know and frankly don't care

#

the role does nothing

oak tangle
#

i aint even look at roles

midnight scroll
pastel roost
#

Understandable, we can close this little tidbit and get back to real discussion 😄

midnight scroll
#

whispyr for example, someone has to show him the ropes

keen spruce
#

If Whispyr has new member, u can have new member

balmy condor
#

do I have new member

#

oh that's hilarious

keen spruce
#

Probably when you got got

#

And rejoined

balmy condor
#

probably remnants of all the rejoining from the hacking yeh

drifting cloud
#

I have it and I definetly predate the role system 😛

oak tangle
#

can we get an old member rank, not for like time playing the spec, but just for being old

keen spruce
#

Unrelated but does anyone wanna check out this new game I’m working on Cheesin

balmy condor
pastel roost
#

Saw the last video btw , it was very nice. You look relaxed at the beginning, like the weight of an entire discord was lifted from your shoulders 😄

balmy condor
#

that's just the calm before the storm

#

you should've been in the stream

#

when I was explaining CT

#

for the 57389254th time

oak tangle
#

HAHA

balmy condor
#

in 3 hours

oak tangle
#

but how do you spread dots with it if it's a finisher

midnight scroll
balmy condor
#

honestly I blame blizzard for that

#

because we had to make the tooltips for that first article by hand

keen spruce
#

So if I have caustic up I finish with CT yes? Cheesin

balmy condor
#

and I mean "we" as in I was sitting there with some other wowhead writers

#

literally making the trees by hand

#

node by node

pastel roost
balmy condor
#

cause alpha was not a public build and datamining private builds is not allowed

#

so all the shit had to be manually done

#

and that means that stuff gets lost in the translation of talents

#

it was a very stupid night

keen spruce
balmy condor
#

"hey, the embargo lifts at 9am right", I say stupidly at 3am

drifting cloud
keen spruce
#

I’m dumb enough that every night is a stupid night garf

balmy condor
oak tangle
#

oh shit, im raiding tonight

#

LOL

balmy condor
#

but yeah, that first post with the trees done by hand have caused irreparable damage to peoples understanding of the changes

#

and it kinda sucks

oak tangle
#

nah, peeps should just apply common sense

balmy condor
#

yeah but that's not how information flows through a big community

oak tangle
#

the sub channel meltdown before apex talents is brainrot

drifting cloud
#

dont worry whispyr I missed everything im untainted by whatever happened

#

im not watching your yt video until you kill nexus king

oak tangle
#

whether a good thing or not, the very first apex talents ties the entire sin spec together, so you'd expect similar for sub

runic hinge
balmy condor
#

information and opinions in a community the size of world of warcrafts is like a big water system

theorycrafters/guide writers/bleeding edge wowhead articles like me are the snow on the top of the mountain, and when new information comes out, we melt the info into water that flows down the mountain into a river.

The river is places like discord or the early/frequent watchers of videos, the people who take time to play around with the alpha talent calculators or generally people who just keep up with changes fall under this category

Eventually the river opens up into an ocean, where the majority of the playerbase is

In this case, the half-baked manual talent trees (or any other piece of bad information, this analogy works for the "assa is bugged 15%/20%" shit that casual and kira did), is the equivalent of dumping a vat of acid into the river. The snow from the mountains will eventually melt and dilute the acid and push the water and it'll be okay, but that acid exists and will float into the ocean and cause issues for a long time before it fully dilutes/evaporates/dissolves

#

so while that article might not have even lived a full 2-3 days, the acid that it added to the river is enough to cause confusion and problems for weeks

#

one rogue reads the info wrong, tells his other, less informed rogue friend that incorrect info, they then talk about the changes to their non-rogue playing friends, who then themselves might talk about it to their friends

#

and so on and so forth

#

and until that wrong info gets corrected and travels down that pipe

runic hinge
#

@spice spire is this a good m+ damage breakdown

balmy condor
#

it's going to be a fucking pain

#

and it's like this, every time

oak tangle
#

hopefully, the people reading it are more of the upper end early viewers, and their brains are turned on

#

but i get your point

balmy condor
#

the upper/early viewers aren't the ones I'm concerned about

drifting cloud
balmy condor
#

they're the people like you who can answer questions that pop up from the herbies that join

oak tangle
#

yeah i mean, the damage being limited by those ones not spreading partial or misinformation

balmy condor
#

the issue is the people that will join the discord in november, jump into the midnight channel and go "hey, we lookin good or what"

#

and you can't stop those

runic hinge
#

and was doing dimmy with guild and got legit 0 ravages for a whole pull

dense cedar
oak tangle
#

i can make a "ct is a generator meme" and spam it

dense cedar
#

ur skill evel not high enough to get more rn ofc ofc

dense cedar
oak tangle
#

maybe 2 or 3 times till it cleaves all the non-understanders

#

but honestly, the solution is to rename the ability

dense cedar
#

excited for all our damage going into envenom

#

and midnight launching without a fix for caustic singular focus

oak tangle
#

i believe someone tested it, but spatter applies before env

dense cedar
#

that nice at least

oak tangle
#

so if we roll fatebound, outside pressing kb, we have no need for prio target

slim copper
#

4.9M dps on m loomi at 12% can easily get 85+ parse if we kill this

rotund oak
slim copper
#

I in fact did not parse an 85+. I parsed a 15 because someone ran there knockback circle on top of me...

waxen oyster
#

thats when you assert dominance by cloaking

oak tangle
#

we'll see if my group can kill plexus reclear fast enough tonight for us to go slap soulbinder then prog loom

waxen oyster
#

and running on them

dense cedar
waxen oyster
oak tangle
#

i have not engaged loom M in combat yet

waxen oyster
#

unless you got to rip another cds set

dense cedar
oak tangle
#

oh i've already had that discussion lol

slim copper
#

are yall popping rupture on tangles? or just everything on loomi?

oak tangle
#

i know this is the wrong plaace for mage questions, can they blink the walls?

#

on plexus

dense cedar
#

u can shadowstep and transcendance them

oak tangle
#

cause i could potentially be swapping mage for it

dense cedar
#

are you

main bridge
#

can't go wrong with the main character in WoW

dense cedar
#

hitting enrage??

oak tangle
#

week 1 yes, week 2 no

dense cedar
#

the wall should not be an issue

#

its barely a mechanic

oak tangle
#

it's more, we dont have a mage in raid

dense cedar
#

ah

oak tangle
#

and i can play arcane

dense cedar
#

arcane intellect bot

#

i see

#

this is why

oak tangle
#

at or equal to rogue

dense cedar
#

i don't play anything good

#

so i can't be asked to swap to anything

oak tangle
#

XD, they haven't asked me, cause i'm still like top2/3 raid dps

dense cedar
#

surprised u don't have mage

#

very popular class

oak tangle
#

we're an aotc guild, and our mage is just more chill

#

have like 4 warlocks tho

waxen oyster
#

snipe a tangle maybe

#

doesnt matter

dense cedar
#

the cadence of tangles can make rupturing for energy kinda weird anyhow

waxen oyster
#

Yeah i only snipe one if it makes sense

#

positioning wise

dense cedar
#

like u can cloak 1 of the get-outs

#

to use that energy

#

but otherwise its very easy to just drain ur tank

waxen oyster
#

You can also super greed

dense cedar
#

and chill for a bit for energy

#

true

waxen oyster
#

and step out near last second

dense cedar
#

step gamers

#

i have trust issues

#

so don't do this

waxen oyster
#

i dont on pally tanks

#

becsuse rats decide to change which set

#

they bubble

slim copper
#

hey guys what build are we doing for m araz?

waxen oyster
#

subtlety

oak tangle
#

lol

#

fb with spatter i believe

#

if you wanna go assass

#

the only DS fights are soulbinder and soul hunters

slim copper
#

ok thanks ❤️

waxen oyster
#

soulhunters is whatever

#

melee is just bad

dense cedar
#

m soulhunter truly just a random bullshit go fight

oak tangle
#

H feels the same

dense cedar
#

bad bit for melee is u kinda just have zero agency

oak tangle
#

it's the one i cannot parse on

#

😢

and araz i just can't be f'ed waiting for timings

dense cedar
#

sub's saving grace in soulhunters is just

#

u only need a very short window to do any damage

waxen oyster
#

You dont really need to do damage

dense cedar
#

before u go back to afk'ing

waxen oyster
#

during intermissions

#

lol

dense cedar
waxen oyster
#

I had a heroic group

#

kill adarus 30% ahead of the other two

dense cedar
#

think issue for some people

waxen oyster
#

so velaryn was just pulsing the group down by the end

dense cedar
#

is they see hp%

#

and think that they're all equal or something

waxen oyster
#

darksorrow is a tank

dense cedar
#

they seem to just

waxen oyster
#

mfw

dense cedar
#

not get the gimmick of the fight

#

darksorrow is a venge hunter

waxen oyster
#

Yeah and velar is a havoc

oak tangle
#

the one that cooks me, is when tanks pull out adarus, when the next solo intermission is coming up and will equalise hp

dense cedar
#

adrus is?

waxen oyster
#

with a mile long range bladedance

dense cedar
#

nothing i guess

#

must've been the wind

waxen oyster
#

the new spec

dense cedar
#

nah

#

will never happen

waxen oyster
#

His mog is goofy

dense cedar
#

ye

waxen oyster
#

mythic np rogue helm

#

recolored cata rogue shoulder

#

The other two are using actual sets

#

from legion

dense cedar
#

he's literally the first of his spec

#

he don't know waht vibe he should be going for in his mog

waxen oyster
#

Not alot of void themed sets

#

besides velf heritage

#

and i guess preorder set?

dense cedar
#

first dh tier set in midnight gonna be void themed and not fit the other 2 specs

waxen oyster
oak tangle
#

I wanna know why all dh sets have horns

#

They’re built into the characters already

waxen oyster
#

Well

#

only one legion tier has

#

I go hornless on dh though

golden loom
earnest narwhal
#

checking back in after a few weeks of leaving my poor rogue unplayed; does Assassination work again yet?

#

There were a bunch of bugs with this new tier set not working right

Still bugged I would say regarding pins

@humble verge

maiden bronze
#

Does anyone know what percentage you would parse on heroic following hekili as sin?

tawny geyser
#

Man I wish they fix bugs until Wednesday… my Guild forcing me to play Sub, which I dont enjoy and also dont have enough brain cells for it.

maiden bronze
#

Was curious. Was seeing someone getting 97% with it

waxen oyster
tawny geyser
#

Well we are on last two, thats why

maiden bronze
#

Wasn't sure if it was a joke or if it was actually that good

waxen oyster
#

Sin still would be worse

#

just different damage profile

tawny geyser
#

Hmm

Like in HC i’m pulling 85’s - 90’s on Sub.
My rotation is ok I’d say, but I am not sure how to play around Coup. I dont understand that spell or how can I even control it.

Personally i find sub more chill on sal

with how much your dps outside cds is irrelevant

!coup

You don't really play around coup, just press it fr

#

In shadow blades you would shuriken storm in-between coup

waxen oyster
#

yeah i mean its just evis but better

#

In-between the 4p proc I mean

waxen oyster
#

yeah granted

#

most hc logs are gonna be dictated by if you hit those coups during add spawns

#

rather than the storm

They always lose value after some weeks

#

Most good people dont continue doing heroic after a couple of weeks, so the competition is kinda eh

and the rare unlucky main for a trinket

#

We've all been that unlucky main

#

i find heroic loses its value even to my poop alts within 2 to 10 days of hitting lvl cap

#

mileage varies

Doubt they will spend time on not that impactful bugs if they are working on midnight

Especially cause the bugs are mostly with the tier

#

its usually only good for trinkets

#

if a raid has good trinkets
