oof
ya the crest cap is hurtin me bad
Whats EAB?
wait no shot I did it again on the kill pull lol
extra action button
Oh you can do that during Pushback already?
Good to know, we use clock for wall then?
Cloak
then you can use step at the last second
and having cloak for wall is good too cause damage being done then
Thanks! I will optimize that for next reclear
Btw, Loomi still hasnt dropped a single Antenna for my Guild 
wait yea my opening is turbo fucked, its always cuz my fps tanks during pull and Im a button spammer so I just gotta lock in to not accidentally miscast shit
The opener is almost like meditating for me
Brain go off, press buttons the same way we always do
I swear my brain shuts down during Raid 
can use the cast sequence macro on it
Only thing thats annoying is when Mutilate doesnt take me above 5cp in the opener
i'm constantly playing parry wars with my tanks
Explain 
Oh?
not enough frontals this raid
Does it matter from where I attack? I didn't know
yes
Tmyk
Parry is thematic
Bro will never know the pain of getting opening KB parried
And then sitting there hoping for a wipe the whole pull
Twice in a row on queen prog
Almost alt-f4'd
Ye queen was particularly bad for it
can i solo soak hunt on mythic demonhunters as a rogue?
yes
gotcha
Queen and Vexie were parrying the shit out of my kbs
yes and it's very recommended to do so
its, friday - u know what that means
If I get the cdr bug should I still hold KB for cold blood and send at 45 and 1:30 still
ye you can wait for cb to send it
i'm not sure how much of a loss it is to send without cb
i doubt it matters that much though, it's just what you're more comfortable with
i'm starting to like these lil mfs ngl
can Dimensius parry tho
all those big bosses with huge hitboxes that sometimes force you to stand in front of them
can they still parry?


Why spell queue window is recommended for rogue? I’m using 400 and it feels fuckin awful
there is no recommendation
it depends entirely on your connection, your input delay, reaction time, how often you're pressing your keys, and what feels worse to you
if it feels slow, knock it down by like 50
if your gcds are late cause you're not queueing anymore, knock it up by like 100
imagine caring about spell queuing on a non gcd locked spec
Thank you everyone!
is spamming on rogue even that important as it is with casters?
I asked that because i played mage for a month and my spell queue window was at 0, you can imagine the dps loss with that.
that is a nono
also the favourite theme in mage discord
just leave it at 400 tbh
feels weird at the beginning but its much better dps whise
400 felt awful for me, I use 100
well its not the best feeling but u get used to it
well idk how its on rogue but mage had many gaps
huge dps loss
rogue however seems a bit less spammy
Changing spell queue is a scam sold to you by creators seeking views from people who want to believe that this one weird setting is what’s keeping them from a higher parse
well
my wow did a thing where it reset basically all of my settings
including spell queue
u mean setting it down?
I mean changing it at all
why is this shitter rogue rolling on a dagger
when its gona end up on the same ilvl he allready has
400 was originial right?
and I went into raid and I was getting horrible what I call 'ability delay', where I would press the button and it would take half a second to do, but it wasn't lag or anything to do with internet. and then I changed the spell queue to 100 and it stopped. could it have been coincidence? possibly. but it worked for me
well because it felt like u pressed and now it feels instant
what u essentialy did is make a gap
however i dont know how present these are on rogues and how important it is
on mage its a huge thing and a huge dps loss
doesnt feel as important on rogue tho
I think if it was really that important to change it would be in the UI or a default
well if u have it 400 and dont change its good either way
I play 400 on every spec that i play and it feels great
i figured so its only that
but if ur crafted dagger is ur highest ilvl dagger then u MH it ofc
yeah ofc
ye thats what i did
i was just making sure

crtazy how my alt rogue (now main) instantly got both trinkets even if low ilvl and mage just hasnt even seen one
so boring sometimes
My mage(main this tier) still wearing hero trinkets and my ww alt has two myth bis trinkets 
shit really be tough out here no
really fucked up what they be doing to yall out here
mage still has 704 trinket cuz stuff wont even sim higher 
did deathstalker get stealth bugfixed 
i feel like im doing a lot more damage in dungeons than what would be explained by turboboost ilvl gain
Maybe you just had good tanks
mybe u have a good performing day
can rogue be like high in some tier lists so i get invited
we could probably take arcane mage spot with bugfixes
i dont even get invited as arcane
lot of comps are full melee buffs + mage
arcane is supposed to be s tier
they got 3% nerf and we funnel just as good or better
that 3% u dont even notice trust me

but people building comps for 15keys idk
assa funnel does seem pretty good
feel whise atleast - u guys noticing in dungeons ?
"feel"? DMG wise not really, gameplay wise yes
You can feel the fact that you have energy for days
how do i explain this
if im blasting a target i can actualy feel it being melted
but then from what i see here in nhc u actualy here have real burst
which does seem odd since everything is thicking
and not upfront
Has anyone seen a drop in parses since Tuesday? I’m doing way more damage, more so perfected my rotation and got upgrades and yet my parses went from mid 90s to like 60s
killtimers bad for you?
3:38 for plexus
Old parse was 95 with a 1 second difference doing 4.7m dps.
New parse is a 57 doing 4.9m dps
people just doing more dmg then 
do you have mythic prism as an example
cus getting more ilvls on that trinket makes your burst a good chunk stronger, so people with mythic prism got a good boost this week
Well yeah parses reset with the new patch
i kinda expect that they know that tbh?
parses reset so you are no longer competing with 707 ilvl logs week 1, now everyone is like 720+
lower sample size due to parse reset
some people gamed the crest system and got a ton of upgrades via alt discounts, i went from 720->727 on my dk for example this week via spreadsheet planning my discounts out on 4 characters so if you arent like 724+ you are at a disadvantage
This makes sense
Sadly I don’t have Prism at all. I’ve either lost it or haven’t seen it drops all season.
Brother same! Hasn't dropped once for our guild
We saw it drop in heroic twice. I lost to a hunter and a monk
Haven’t seen it since. And my guild is still progging loom mythic so no chance of it on mythic yet
Lots of people got lucky in there vault so my guild councle likes me and was going to give me the next but it has yet to drop 
I have Lily and hero antenna for assassin right now. Haven’t run normal this week for prism chance.
Heard it’s better than hero Lily
oh i have a champ antenna too

trinket luck absolutely dogshit this season
only reason i have antenna at all is i got a warbound one to drop
I got depression 
Gz
Not sharing?
egg-salad,some vinegar,pinch of salt,cottage cheese,milk in the side
bros farts are nuclear
i got extra if u want one
Be me using hero lily and sacbrood 
We suffer together
In
we trust


doomblade is actually a joke talent lol
is there a definitive rotation priority for what we do if we get the bug that shortens kb and dm?
do you send the kb early then hold dm for like 15 seconds until kb is resynced?
play around coldblood cd
I been gud
hit my flight requirements to take my instrument checkride
so now i'm just trapped studying for the oral exam portion for the next couple of weeks


so basically act as if we didnt get the bug at all and hold kb for 15 more second?
yes
gotcha, thanks
Good luck

Well yeah 4.9 on plexus this week just isnt high
people got gear now
Rate the Zildjan stencil on the bass drum
Bro better be rocking a set of A Customs
If Ks I riot
@fallow canopy I need a

and another one for the road
Let’s make rogue band bro
Using prism in keys do you just pop it with DM or just max stacks?
I ended up getting normal prism just now and did a key with it instead of Lily. Dps went up but didn’t know if there was a good time to pop it
How can you know the dps increase was due to the prism 🤔
I mean I simmed. Also did 2 keys. 1 with Lily and 1 with prism. Dps was a decent upgrade
i never thought you'd ask 🥲
now i just need to find a vocal coach so i dont keep coughing my throat up
looking for throat training huh

I would guess at just send with DM but not sure

Assa ftw
Its gonna be interesting too see assa like completely change
It looks like that to me atleast
Whats the remix max lvl? feel like its goin so slow 😄
i havent even leveled to 80 yet

well i still have like 3 months so
honestly
maybe i should level another class rather than rogue first
its just so slow
yeah theres no rush at all
I barely got to 50
Not even finished one zone
Not in a rush tho
I got the bronze progress WA, im missing 8mil bronze to get everything i dont have yet

the whispyr vieo is so great
esp bcs people told me in discord sub is the most fun it has been in a while
everything is going downhill
Well thats because sub is probably the burstiest version of itself its been in years.
which it should be - played it like what1 expansion ago where rupture did half my dmg
I think you may be stupid 

FloodyG 20 has hands
nah, just had to relog 3x

Ahh yeah simply a krill issue unfortunately 
The server save states have been giga broken since lemix dropped
I lost 2 levels yesterday when servers exploded
well to be fair this game is made by a small indie company
Yes yes very small
and this is their first time doing soemthing like this
so bound to be some minor issues
minor issues 

you not pressing feint when you get targeted is more likely the issue
¯_(ツ)_/¯
It was a very unlucky pull where i ran out of feints and evasion
🤨
: (
Never did that much
outside of fat tierset rupture during ashes
not in raid
that i honestly dont remember but def in m+
idk i wanted it because its burst
and i got that
the video itself isnt even wrong like dafuq is going on with the spec
No you only did burst
idk i mean u were weak outside of cds but then rupture did way to much
misplayed then
could be
hitting it with coldblood and a fully stacked ashes was something
my m+ dmg was not the best
i heard its like giga fun
will def get to it after sin
might aswell expierence it befor it goes to shit

i still dont know how the fuck is sin bursting so much
is everything just ticking that high
as ds or fb
KB+envenom+coins
what happend to kb
that use to be like
i think its still high up on dmg
but it used to tick like hell or be the play around
They nerfed it like crazy during and after DF s3
I dont think any spec comes close to sub popping 18 prism stacks
with 4 coups in tfd though
Mm hunter
gotta expierence that atleast once
yeah that
on every fucking fight
one pull

yes they didnt nuke the mobs that quick so i got a full 3 dances off on them
is sub realy fun to play like actualy gameplay whise or only because its doing so much dmg?
poppin off

wait ig prism forge is slightly less platform?
than prism antenna
with holding prism to platform
i'm hearing contradictions on the belt. was it nerfed or not tuesday?
wtf is this
Burst
idk whos saying it wasnt nerfed
u just smoked everything what
I Got memed for it
Its just showing intermission dmg on Nexus King
wait do you not prism platform?
thought if you play double on use it would be forge for platform
im guessing antenna prism with 18 stack on platform would be most platform damage
u do get the full max lvl char after lemix right?
how we feeling about playing sin instead of sub on nexus?
might be a stupid question but you never know
More than fine
I played assa on nexus king
pog
im really not vibin with sub on it
still pretty okay for a prog kill
where did you lose the dm cast
nerf mage
you think double on use of forge and prism or just prism and antenna?
cdr bug into brainlag?
I was greeding for more prism stacks and then got a star at the end of the fight and never got it off


I just violently threw up in my mouth
oh
do not double on use
hahahaha
so your last dm was on the amp? 
this looks fine, no?

honestly
not enough p3 deaths
to slow down the kill
not my fault
blizzs fault for turbo boost and aura on same week
real and based
Is there any weird sin tech to the fight or just play it normally and just cleave off the titan on platforms(which you normally do anyways)
just gotta be very on top of your cd casts
have to cast the gcd they come up
or you'll be late to the amp
yo gang
sometimes if im late my breath is like 10 seocnds into amp
off topic
shit sucks
but nothing really different between assa and sub
i have addon saying oh no when i get low
i cant find wich one it is any idea
and fucking cashregister sound
im about to lose it
sounds like a weakaura to me
@earnest remnant theres an assa log above shindig, you need to release the documents

I was told I have to play sub as "You are THE aoe pad class"
that's what they tell enhancement shaman too..
i think i'd be pretty unhappy with my guild if they ever told me i have to play anything
not like we have 2 shadow priests, 2 locks, 2 dh, a dvoker, a ret pal,an arcane mage, and Ele sham T_T
In the first part of the assassination kingslayer quest line in legion remix is there a glitch?
I cant throw the smokebomb, ive reloaded 3 times
hey its not pad it just happens
now i dropped my artifact weapon questline cause it wouldnt stop the bug and I cant pick it up again... any idea
disable evlui if you have it on
10/4 let me try that, should have thought of it
xD yeah Ikr i was gonna do a pull as sin then i was swapped sides for more burst... so guess im not switching to sin haha

getting better but still only a 72 parse
trying to get some mindfulness of bleed uptime in before prog on mythic next week.
CT is still low and I dont know whether to prioritize envenoms, rupture or CT
Ct when you can hit all 3, rupture on all of them all the time
and envenom when everything else is up
but you can keep CT up even on just 2 but can refresh on 3
so tab target rupturing? not just during vanish?
you are running the bleed build?
ye
so you have scent of blood
which gives you agi for each rupture
so you want 3 up all the time, also gives you energy
garrote on main target unless you have imp garrote then you spread
ok cool will give this another go tomorrow.
i officially have succeeded in the rite of passage of having a mythic kill logged permanently tainting my page where i forgor to put poisons on
The good news is that poison reminder weakauras will still exist in midnight so you’re all good!
i put on one midfight
personally I wonder why we even need to track the timers of them in 2025 at all
because or else 0 demeg
not what i meant
then what timers
Is he saying poisons should just be permanent when you put them on
please yes, thank you
Or just, poison toggle.
tbh the only thing i miss from deleting weak aura is my smart missdirection
In Fatebound ST - Wowhead guide says cast Cold Blood with Kingsbane, but in opener seq. it's with mutilate (after vanish).
Is it the first dmg ability after vanish that is important with 4pc?

Vanishing On Fatebound 
- 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
@shell kraken
Okey, but why don't we vanish/coldblood the first KB after DM?
If we do want to CB KB?
Becasue in opener we CD the mutilate, right?
Oh....
they are guaranteed to match the same outcome as the latest flip, which was edgecases from kingsbane

So CB marcod to KB and the vanish can actually be used after mutilate and before Env in the opener?
well I have trinket macrod to vanish so I vanish after I shiv, before I deathmark
it doesnt matter
as long as you shiv deathmark kingsbane (with coldblood macrod) and the vanish at some point before you have used both of your coldblood stacks on envenoms
I've only hav Lily, so I macrod it to DM - but guess I could just add vanish to that marco for QoL then?
Next question - not sure this are due to the bugs or 4pc.
But 2x Shiv is often not available for KB.
For 2nd KB outside of DM, do you only use Shiv ones at the end to ensure 2x stacks for DM?
x2 for DM x1 for KB
2x inside DM
Solo kb 1x at the last 8 secs
Yes.
Myth track antenna/myth track prism/heroic track forge. Im struggling to replace my Forge with prism
Sims dont show me a dps difference but the opener does
I mean prism won’t have stacks on opener
But myth track prism is certainly better than hero track forge
Is assassin less tanky then the other 2 specs? I see it has a lot more.average deaths in wcl
I see
does smart missdirect wa not work anymore?
we also have worse defensives, the others got more
can you macro netherprism to vanish?
or is it best used with the deathmark where you are vanishing
shiv -> DM -> kb -> vanish/prism?
sounds like a group you didnt want to be in anyway
anyone have a clue which addon this could be doing? like its just appeared
and its on shift - everytime i step someone this shit appears
Wait what
Or is that only because the prism is macro'd to it
And not a general thing
i think its cuz u can vanish anytime between shiv and the first envenom
for the coins
when the fb bug happens on 4:30 fights its actually good wtf
got 4 dm uses in a 4:29 fight, 2 in execute
i just hold kingsbane for 30s, cold blood for 15s and sync with deathmark on 1 minute cadence
and netherprism
idk if im supposed to do that or not but yeah
that is correct yuh
both fractillus and plexus are like 4:30 killtimers now so it really helps
jelly
but i think on fractillus i need to send my 2:30 dm a bit later so its in execute
i missed out on that, can hold for 15 more seconds so i guess i can send a solo kingsbane
still time to send another dm before death i think

I made a rogue for remix and i have a bug that my stealthbar will not change back to the normal Bar 1 in combat. I used the search function but could not find anything... any idea ?
it doesn't matter when you vanish as long as it is somewhere between the first shiv and the 2nd envenom after kb
you just want to double an edge case
you can vanish before DM if you want, for prism

saturday and im in a 50th bday party
@frigid musk hello ive heard you are the best rogue eu - how can i improve my dps i have 30% crit and 40% versa and 11% haste is this ok
Very easy just time consuming
Mine took almost a month of doing it nonstop
I now hate doing rep grinds even on retail now
Probably related
thats beyond unc

im in a family birthday party to my aunt 😭
i would never voluntarily go to a 50th bday to someone i barely knew
well it's the same bug as it is on live
because lemix does a bunch of open world scaling shenanigans
so it's the same bricking that happens in delves/live

singular focus is just confusing lol
i understand how it works and ik its still bugged with caustic but i feel like the number still just dont make sense
!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.

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
basically two questions:
- does it work with ALL abilities such as reshi wraps, embellishments etc.
- is it just a raw 5% of ability damage done to target, or is there some sort of math/stats that affects it so it hits for more i.e. my rupture ticks for 1mil 0.05* 1mil = 50k, so does it hit for 50k or does it hit for more because of my other stats?
it doesnt work with any dmg ''spattered''
that would be better answered from our boy whispyr
im pretty sure its a bug hence it doesnt work at all times
or is it individual tick for every dot tick
not fully aware how the bug functions,as in the detailed misfunctionality in it
the reason im confused is because the tooltip says that it deals 5% of all damage to non marked targets to marked target, so by that logic i should be able to take my damage log (to dummies for testing), subtract out my damage to the marked dummy, subtract caustic damage for bug, multiply whats left by 0.05 and it should give me singular focus damage right?
but it just doesnt numerically work like that
auras or lack off amp the result,that might apply into the bug as well.Thats why ild have to admit that i dont know that
whispyr should know though
it is plague damage, which is nature / shadow, so shiv "should" buffi t
and yes shiv is an amp
it comes down to numbers
im not testing with shiv in rotation, do you know if your stat weights affect it after the fact, like it takes 5% then your stats affect it, then it hits
idrk how that works
i would guess no
because double dips
etc
the thing is likely bugged cause feedback loops, more singular focus would mean more spatter, which would mean more singular focus
so either it's bugged or intentional
but the way it's worded, implies feedback loop
its feedback, but the dmg generated from it would approach 0 so i dont think its intentional
why would it approach 0
so singular focus hits your primary target with caustic, it spatters which only does 40%
so every following iteration of spatter dmg generated from the intitial singular focus hit would keep getting multipled by 0.4
not to mention that singular focus already only takes 5% of dmg anyways
they are all additive
Spatter not working with singular focus is the bug. Idk if that’s the discussion or not
i'm saying if it worked as intended it would be a feedback loop
and blow out to infinity
it would go to 0
singular focus hits my target for 10dmg, 40% is 4 damage splattered onto says 5 targets, 4* 5=20, 20*0.05 = 1dmg on my focus target again, now 1dmg, 40% is 0.4, and you can see it keeps getting smaller
you do 100 damage to mob, that spatters for 40 onto 5 targets. that gets reduced to 5% or 10 damage, you now do 110 base
this is more of a math thing atp lol
yeh
that's not how that works lmao
you can't just add the spatter back onto the base and then re-spatter the base
^^
you're not dealing the base damage an infinite amount of times
that's obviously silly
..
i've failed maths class again
listen man i was about to pull up desmos
nah you good, i'm just getting old and cooked, i went from engineering to this
yo honestly kudos for admitting lol, more respect than any math would get you
i would say my saving grace is 51 targets... but damage reduced beyond x
your theory might be applicable in floodgate
math i can do even better than whispyr,i just dont wanna dive into the mud without knowing the problem to its entirety 😛
better let ppl that know speak
anyways, regarding this:
- no, only "rogue" abilities. This is generally true for anything in the game that says "all" damage. "All nature damage" for example will never include the nature damage of external/gear sources that are not inherent to the spec itself. The only gray area here is tier sets that deal flat damage. Sometimes they are counted the same as other gear, but they're typically also considered part of the spec.
- It's 5% of the damage dealt, buffed by mastery and shiv. With mastery + tier set buff I've seen this go as high as 13.5% with extreme mastery heavy gear.
thats what respect is all about
and it does not, it immediately follows the damage instance

the singular focus hits are immediately following the rupture/corrupt the blood on the mage
this might be an in the weeds question
but you have rupture -> corrupt -> both the singular focus instances
and they're time stamped later than each other
any idea on how this stuff is prioritized
prioritized meaning what
i understand which dmg locks 1st and what comes after
oh wait nvm corrupt is procced off rupture right
cant think anything else
so its all in order
it should be
networking stuff can technically make it go a little silly
but the order also shouldn't really matter ever
each instance of damage has its own singular focus attached to it
so obviously singular must always come after the instance of original damage
any hypotheses on what caused caustic to break?
we tend to blame spaghetti code on that
coz we dont know
prolly blizzard doesnt know either
assuming bug exists
maybe if we can tie bug spaghetti strand into shop bug spaghetti strand we will get quick fix
not just a hypothesis, we know exactly how it broke 
caustic, singular focus, sanguine blades, are all examples of what are called "residual effects", where their damage is just some fraction of damage a different ability dealt. Usually the stuff that "works" with residuals has to be heavily controlled as to avoid silly situations.
In this case, caustic was double dipping the global spec aura from assassination, and blizzard went "woof, that's an unintended 20% buff to caustic, that's kind of silly actually, can't have that", and they fixed it. Fixing it however broke the whitelisting/controlling of what works and doesn't work with caustic, and that broke singular's ability to interact with caustic spatter
for reference, sanguine blades and singular focus also double dip the spec aura currently
which is why sanguine blades is able to interact with singular focus, but caustic isn't
Cool
ngl kinda sad its not broke anymore, super funnel rogue was peak class fantasy
is aura buffs good game design, or lazy patchwork to equalise
the classic example of why residuals are spooky is a two target fight where the bosses go into a damage amp at the same time. Think something like cho'gall splitting into two pieces that take 100% increased damage.
You envenom cho for 100, but it's 100% stronger, so it's 200 damage, but then you spatter 40% of it, so it's 80 damage, but that's also buffed by 100%, so you get 160 damage. So you just double dipped and now you're cleaving 80% instead
lazy af for poor design
gnarlroot in amirdrassil had this issue early on
where you had a bunch of tiny shitter adds
and gnarlroot would take more damage, so your envenom dealt more damage, so you spattered more
that's not possible anymore
residual effects reverse out the target amps
so you would be spattering the original, pre-amp damage, not the post-amp doubled damage
there's blockers like that all over the place with residual effects, and in this case, killing caustics ability to double dip removed it from interacting with other residuals
just chopped off the highway
they need to make their aura buffs a tag on the regular abilties, so 5% aura goes in and changes the core rupture ability to be 5% more
yup
thats rly interesting to me,do they still doubble dip on later buffs as well?
well really thats kinda what class masteries are for
but they kinda gave up on that
they're basically required tools for tuning a spec. The alternative would be to tune individual abilities all the time, and that shit just doesn't work
like buffing mastery is basically the same as giving an aura buff, they just did it with windwalker this season
what "later buffs" are we talking about here
that's not even remotely true
right, but rather than doing a pass after the ability to determine if it should be buffed (thus leading to residuals having to figure out if the also use the aura buff) just add the aura buff to baseline ability
any kind of later aura buffs/hotfixes that amp the previous one
buffing mastery directly fucks with gearing
a crit/vers spec receiving a buff to its spec through mastery
would skullfuck all the gear you collected that season so far
they did it at the beginning of this season, basically just amped up mastery %
in this circumstance, yes, but you can't use that as a day to day tuning knob
well yeah for sure and thats why they dont do it, but i remember reading somewhere that that was one of the initial intents of class masteries
was to make tuning significantly easier
thats.... what it does?
if not please clarify, i thought that's how you were implying it worked, my bad
there's nothign inherently different between a talent that says "rupture damage increased by 20%" and a spec aura of 20%
they're both passive spells that modify rupture
yeah its the same amp
the spec aura is legit just a passive talent that is hidden in-game
so what is the reason that spatter and sanguine are double dipping on it. just shitty coding to not have the aura apply to it?
cause caustic got taken off the list
but like... why not just never have caustic have the spec buff, and then just change it's percent
like think back to this and the "only rogue abilities"
right?
what is "only rogue abilities"
vanish
there's gotta be some list somewhere that exists, which contains all the spells that count
and so when things like caustic spatter and sanguine blades and stuff get implemented
they have to point to a list of things that they interact with
see where I'm going with this?
i would imagine its more of a tagging system from an efficiency standpoint, but also from 2004 so could be a list lmfao
they all use the same lists
so caustic gets cut off from the "all of these things are rogue damage" list
because that's the spec aura
and now when singular focus looks for things it can cleave
caustic spatter isn't there anymore
thats another hypothetical but would it work as a way to ''nerf'' a spec
remove spatter from the list that is
now got me thinking if they use a flagging system for abilities, or if they just have excel sheets lol
prolly both

how much work around is required before someone decides it's worth refactoring the code

that's what spell data looks like
after simc cleans it, obviously we don't know what it looks like on their end
they probably got plenty of tooling that interfaces with the codebase for them so they don't have to
but that's what gets datamined
they also manipulate data for 20years+
thats alot of cooking
as far as the game design goes
it's never going to be worth refactoring the code
you can slowly refactor bits and pieces as you go
but you gotta understand, this codebase is so large
you're never going to untangle it
i mean would be more efficient to just make a new game
even if you made it your lifes goal
think about how they blow up old skyscrapers and just build a new one where it was at instead of trying to renovate lol
is this spell data report how they figured out caustic bug
like what the cause was
In this case no
didn't need to check spell data to put 2 and 2 together
but for some bugs, yes
maybe this is the real use of ai, to help refactor / reorganise code bases
for a lot of bugs, spell data doesn't even help
cause it's scripted on the server side
and you can't datamine the shit that's going on anyway
yeah and then AI hallucinates and renames a variable that's used by some other shit halfway across the codebase and every wow server crashes
brilliant
i mena you wouldn't let it go untethered
but it could be a tool to point out certain places that are issues
maybe not yet
but soon
dude just wants them to use AI so he can have infinite singular focus
issue would be bugs the QA testers encounter
oh wait...
just like. if you say it's such a large code base and too difficult to refactor even smaller section of just how abilities work. that implies that the code base doesn't have quantised sections relevant to each aspect
i knwo you haven't seen it and we haven't
etc
I mean it does have that
so we cant know
you can refactor smaller parts
they've been slowly refactoring abilities and doing more and more scripting on the server side
they've also started using labels, cause they ran out of family flags
and so they had to come up with a new way to do that
which was kinda funny
i get to an extent that they don't want to add to many flags and stuff to look up for ability damage etc, cause optimisation reasons
but it's crazy to me that they rely on a whitelist system and don't maintain it
particularly when it's a known bug, like someone somewhere is not doing their job, whether it be their community managers not going into places to see that there are bugs etc
or, and hear me out on this
they got other shit to do
blizzard devs are infamously overworked
fixing a bug with a tier set that makes momentum of despair not work when follow the blood is a decent enough alternative just doesn't take priority when the tier set is gone in a couple months and they have to work on the next expansion
occam's razor type shit
Does Bleed build for M+ / Soul Hunters like haste like it did last patch?
i get it, but to some extent they need to prioritise player facing issues, it will do them a lot more credit in the eyes of the player base
which is worth it
yeh, haste pretty good stat all around
yeah but like, you could take a dev off of midnight and fix issues with the current tier sets for a week, and now you're just a week behind on the work that dev was supposed to do on midnight instead
it's just triage in a hospital, but for code
kinda meant should i swap out gear to haste more even though it sims lower? would go form 12% to 23% Prob just follow sim huh
does whitelisting caustic take a week to do though?
dude comes in with a twisted ankle, and it's just not worth helping the dude when you have people with gunshot wounds bleeding out at the same time
yeah, follow sims
one bug? probably not
but like what's the most apparent bug this patch
the fatebound tier
they already tried to fix that
and it didn't work
to use american healthcare, the guy with the ankle needs a splint and will apy for it, but the gunshot wounds are homeless and wont pay
do you seriously expect a manager to go "yeah let me take a guy off of midnight for a bit to go figure out why it's broken, and then have them try and fix it a second time"
at the end of the day it's a priority thing and i get it, personally the bugs don't worry me, the only issue i have with them, is them not being addressed being a bad look for the care and attention they give to my spec
sub going through it right now with the midnight changes feeling the same thing
it's hard to watch shadow priest be reworked 3 or 4 times in just as many tiers / expacs, and a seemingly simple bug can stay here for the same time
Do we want to use out dinars for araz, Antenna and maybe prison?
Assa seems to be doing rather well after the nerfs of the other top dps and our 3% fix.
nerfing the top specs and buffing an already pretty good spec will do that, yeh
of course we're eating good right as my guild goes hard into lemix and only 15 people show interest in mythic this week
people don't really get how close balance is most of the time
they just see themselves not top and giga doom
fuck balance
dumb birds
why you hate these indie companies?
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
The proper priority list is :
- ''Hiya''
- Hair
- Rogue information
- ''Byeya''
- Balance(no one cares lmao)
what you guys simming for rn
on the wowhead opener why do you vanish immediately after KB?
oh shit kb doesnt do big tick at the end anymore?
!dj
Vanishing On Fatebound 
- 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
Are there any other commands I should check out
!fotmnoob
Heh no evidence found
this fucker came to take my spot
caustic spatter bugged?
!causticbug
Caustic is not bugged. The Green Puddle on the ground is Poison Bomb, not Caustic Spatter. You are either:
- Not using Deadly/Amplifying poison (or its not applied to your target)
- Not using Rupture on your target
- Not using Mutilate/Ambush if the above two are applied
lol had wrong poison mb
Legit you last raided in cata
wrong i raided mop, throne of thunder
for remix, I'm on Infinite Research: Artifact collector, need to acquire another artifact, but not sure from where? I don't get the quest from Jorach in the order hall, nothing on the minimap as well, any ideas?
No telling, Lemix is a buggy mess
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
heading to the big D tonight, any tips going in?
**Pure Single Raid **
Lily + Pacemaker both 723
or
Prism + antena | both 704
or
Prism 704 + Pacemaker 723
Which one do you choose Guysss
( I use both 723 all the time ( But I don't feel any change compared to when I Use prism + antena 704 :DDDD
i say your choose not the fucking sim fuck sim :DDD
shit dude how do you come up with this stuff
I choose whatever the sim gives the biggest number on
yeah but sim dont see your ass and cheak it if you have giga white ass for antena
or not
that the problem
^^
What the fuck are you saying
is this a window into the mind of a Sub player
the solo leveling pfp is top tier
I mean if you don't wanna sim ,just play whatever brings you joy
If I had to pick, I'd just pick whatevers higher ilvl
Doesn't particularly matter too much regardless
Netherprism for BIG DM
Lily for more consistent dmg
dafuq is this "what's optimal, but i dont wanna sim" angle lol
it's not skynet, it's a glorified calculator, just sim it
you can check pacemaker description and uptime on wowlogs, then you will find out that it's proc every minute for 30 sec, then you can calculate that u will have some timings when it not works on your burst, and procs only on 3rd and 6 mins of boss fight, and first one too, so thats all about pacemaker. Antenna better 100%
Lily better than prism on short fights because you need to use prism only on 3rd min.
tbf, you can also just manually use prism
if fight ends soon, you can use it with your next cds instead of waiting for the 3min windows
for every burst its will be same as lily, but only if u have same ilvl trinkets so 723 lily better than 704 prism on this way
i guess u will use it on 4.30 (3rd DM) second time for all bosses before hunters
The weakest part of dimmy for sin or the part where sub shined got nerfed into oblivion so sin looks a lot better now
pretty much yes
like
P1 is kinda insane
im doing like 200-300m more damage to dim Xd
as sin over sub
or 200 atleast ig
: D
and the masses dont matter at all so i wasnt even swapping to them before
im definitely not swapping now
prob not
prob a sin angle on reclear my sub arc is over 🙏
ive found out
ive been ONLY using shiv
non tea macro
for some reason on 10 pulls
ok so
i just straight up
didnt get the cdr
and i used vanish at the right times
help
vanish doesn't get cdr, and vanishing doesn't trigger the 4p cdr
yes but you're supposed to vanish at specific times to get specific flips right
which then triggers the cdr from the tier set?
lucky coin triggers the 4p
the bug is due to it being a projectile
with travel speed
as in it can just not hit or
it can not hit, it can hit multiple times
there's some input you can do to trigger it somewhat reliably
i dont remember what it is, something with shadowstep iirc
guys if we're standing on top of the p1 adds in Dimensius they take caustic damage no?
ok not bugged
its around the target
the adds have caustic damage on my details
ok just in the guide I thought it mentioned if you target dimmy you won't cleave the add
im so proud of you tryan
Yeh you have to stand on them
channel the good ol' gally screenshot
why does standing on them make a difference?
check the pins for a graphic
i had to check to make sure it was still there
somebody on reddit talking about sub on the alpha
a guy brings up whisps video from yesterday
first comment is "whisp doesnt play sub"
