Why does Sim use netherprism with every DM (not counting the opener) while we usually use it every other DM after the opener? Is it worth using it like Sim does, or is it a stupid idea and a huge loss of DPS?

analog field
#

Like 0.6 worse to use it every DM

buoyant herald
#

I think the “use with vanish every 3m” optimisation is quite small

analog field
#

It is just that they haven't gotten to change the apl

jaunty sky
#

it doesnt make a difference in sim but it does make a difference in actual fights

#

having 18 stacks for amp and execute and whatever

buoyant herald
#

Ideally you want to save the 18 stack for your DM in execute yeah, you’re probably fine to use with every other DM before you need to start saving it up for that

analog hornet
#

Netherprism works with other Trinkets? Isnt there an delay for 20 sec? 🤔 So i dont macro the lilly on DM, because the prism cant do his Job in this Phase? 🤔

waxen oyster
#

you dont play double on use as assa

balmy condor
#

all on-use trinkets have a shared 20 second cooldown

guys what should i correct with my stats in keys? i have 10335 crit, 6059 haste, 22673 mastery and 14800 verse

humble verge
#

how are u 3k and "new" to the game

waxen oyster
#

this is you rn

thorn thorn
#

The correct answer is CLEARLY to just use randomized gear

buoyant herald
#

That’s unironically pretty much true

lyric horizon
#

Antenna+Prism or prism+araz? Have everything myth

buoyant herald
#

Two on use bad

#

Almost certainly antenna prism

balmy condor
storm forum
#

or ur a psycho and ur fishing for double CDR bugs

formal pawn
#

however i sim it keeps saying i need to go towards more haste, But if i check other rogues then from wcl they all ignore the shit out of haste al go full crit / mastery, whats the reason for this?

main bridge
#

you aren't wearing the same gear as them

#

the whole point of sims is that they tell you what is best for the gear you are wearing

formal pawn
#

But they easilly can swap stats from the crafted pieces, even those are full crit mstery.

balmy condor
#

Good chance they can’t be fucked recrafting

#

Crit mast is just the safest option

formal pawn
#

think i checked +10 rogues and not 1 has more then 10% haste, yet i'm on 12% and it keeps telling me to pump towards haste

balmy condor
#

Yep, sounds reasonable

#

Haste good stat

humble verge
#

wait

#

i forgot about my sim

#

im just over 6m wihu

buoyant herald
#

He’s only gone and done it

they could never make me swap to bleed build

You know everyday i scroll trough this discord

And fucking everday i see uber posing a details screenshot of his damage what the hell man

#

Or he has the most huge cock ever or the smallest weener

#

@humble verge which one is it

next bough
#

Does anyone know if there is still a bug with shroud and bm hunters by chance? Thanks!

next bough
#

I guess so, trying to shroud pre pull on nexus king and dont want to bug the hunters

marsh fjord
#

Last time it happend to me was in a priory and that was 2 weeks ago.

#

if still around no idea but i don't think they fixed that

little tulip
#

hey i have a shadowstep macro and it breaks on eco dome last when the phase changes on last boss any idea why?
/cleartarget
/cast [@mouseover] shadowstep
/targetlasttarget

#

is it just the /targetlasttarget line

timid widget
#

in keys our ST on bosses in the bleed build is just non existent right or am i just garbage?

past bobcat
#

10% miss??

balmy condor
#

Default is 0% I’m pretty sure unless otherwise changed

#

Depends who’s simming

#

But antenna is bis until like 25%

past bobcat
#

ive been simming it at 25% and pacemaker is premuch even with it

waxen oyster
buoyant herald
#

in pure ST you'll literally lose to a prot war

#

unless you get good execute value

#

not sure any other spec has as bad boss damage in key build other than maybe outlaw lol

waxen oyster
#

how often do you have pure st

buoyant herald
#

not often

waxen oyster
#

yeah this is why i've always found it a non issue

buoyant herald
#

it's not as big an issue as it's made out to be

waxen oyster
#

also tbf its only good prot wars

#

you may lose to

#

i.e ones that actually gcd cap and weave in executes

buoyant herald
#

but if you're doing your weekly 10 in a pug with a press w tank

#

it can get ugly

frozen iris
#

On saladbar why does liquid go all the way over to square?

waxen oyster
#

hey im a press w tank

#

i pull trash with boss

frozen iris
#

for mythic

waxen oyster
buoyant herald
#

on purpose? 😛

waxen oyster
#

my meter

#

bro

#

i just pull when i got dam cds

#

if healer complains i just pull more

buoyant herald
#

actually good strat

#

pull more

#

more healing

#

less time to complain

#

everyone wins

waxen oyster
#

i mean if healer has time to complain in chat

#

you aint pressing buttons

#

all im saying

buoyant herald
#

exactly

waxen oyster
#

idk what some pug tanks do

#

its so cooked watching

jaunty sky
#

I love pug tanks pulling single pack and 'chaining' it by exactly not dropping combat

humble verge
#

im just pointing out the sad keys i end up carrying

earnest remnant

#

Does wound poison work on salad bar?

earnest remnant
#

no

frozen iris
earnest remnant
#

markers are where the dragons spawns for the lasers that travel so you wanna be ontop of one to bait them to create a safe spot to soak

#

and the reason you move sorta far is because of the beheads to give them more room to spread out and not cleave eachother

is there anyway to see in logs missed antenna orbs?

fallow canopy
#

you could technically compare the uptime of the 2 separate buffs but its still innacurate it just gives you like a rough idea I think

waxen oyster
coral ibex
#

im not

waxen oyster
#

is politechat not an alt

coral ibex
#

it is

#

im on my main

waxen oyster
#

hmm

coral ibex
#

whats up

haughty flicker
waxen oyster
#

idk why i thought you were playing your alt on it

coral ibex
#

i was for a bit

#

my main got put in jail for a bit

#

stay safe out there

desert vault
#

can you cloak off the stacks on salad like before the triple ghosts?

earnest remnant
#

no

#

only thing you can do reduce the stacks faster is take 1 soak with feint then soak the next slam with cloak

haughty flicker
#

you can cloak to soak with the solo tank if you absolutely have to but uh

earnest remnant
#

taking of 2 stacks in one combo

desert vault
#

i was just trying to think if you can survive the triple ghost thing, like if you get messed up

earnest remnant
#

nope

#

only thing you can do survive fucking that up

#

is when you get mc'd to have a druid cyclone you

#

thats about it

desert vault
#

so this fight, grrr Salad, so the full group soak puts a stack of something on you and you have to remove it with the ghost? i keep getting mc'd and feel like i am doing everything right driving me nuts

balmy condor
#

you start with 3 stacks

#

each soak you do removes a stack

#

you get a ghost for each stack removed

#

if you miss the ghost, the stack comes back

desert vault
#

ok, and if you have 3 stacks for too long you get mc'd?

balmy condor
#

if you have any stacks at the end of phase 1, you get mc'd

desert vault
#

what causes you to get mc'd before that?

wise plover
#

dying

desert vault
#

oh so if you take leathal damage you don't die instantly you get mc then die?

wise plover
#

yep

desert vault
#

god i hate this fight

cunning needle
coral ibex
#

you should be soaking 1 circle per set and looking at every ghost that spawns

#

1 then 2 then 3 ghosts

desert vault
#

yeah just dying, either too low going into the second soak sometimes, oath breaker or whatever i see is killing me a lot think that is just the ticking damage all p1 right?

#

just swapped to elusivness and going to macro feint to every ability lol

cunning needle
#

but tbh also

#

healers just heal

#

dont be afraid to send health pot in p1

#

thats kinda the only phase where you die to not one shot stuff

#

taking elusivness is good though

#

cheat death only will really save you in the last phase (maybe)

desert vault
#

which dot for evasion?

coral ibex
#

the one you can get instead of blaze line

desert vault
#

oh yeah whatever it is called, i've gotten it a few times yeah

coral ibex
#

i held cloak for if i ever got the dot and then it was a quick soak

#

so i wouldnt have the dot for the soak

cunning needle
#

im a monkey so i cloak on the first soak if it's the quick soak

#

since its always really scuffed

haughty flicker
#

i save cloak for when i fuck up and see a beam coming towards me

cunning needle
#

yeah thats always the first quick soak

haughty flicker
#

the gigachad move is to cloak the damage at the start of the fight so you look better on damage taken

haughty flicker
#

last pull of the night we got to p3

#

maybe it dies next week

coral ibex
#

4%

#

im so sad

haughty flicker
#

next time for sure

coral ibex
#

yea but we dont raid until monday

fallow canopy
marsh fjord
#

The thing is i think nexus king doesnt get better with uncapped/turbo boost

#

some bosses you can just raw stop with 10 extra item levels if you dont do the stacks you get mcd and ripped

golden roost
#

Once you get past phase 1, the boost no doubt helps the platforms and the burn

marsh fjord
#

Oh it def helps but i feel like nexus king you cant just raw dog

#

where it gets WAY easier

balmy condor
#

We’re currently experiencing the same on dimmy

marsh fjord
#

I think on dimmy you even gotta hold in p1 no?

golden loom
#

oathbreaker + conquer nerf big W

balmy condor
#

Giga cooked

#

I get 1 prism cast in like 5:45

haughty flicker
golden loom
balmy condor
#

Yeah if I ran double on use I could hold dps even harder

marsh fjord
#

Wouldnt lily actually be giga good then?

#

has been the alternative

#

if you couldnt use prism

balmy condor
#

No because if I Lily I also get 1 cast in 5:45

marsh fjord
#

Are you holding DM?

balmy condor
#

Yeh

marsh fjord
#

ahh

balmy condor
#

Well I guess I get 2 casts of Lily

#

Cause p1

#

But then I just have to hold dps at the end of p1

#

So

coral ibex
#

wait you aren't holding p1?

balmy condor
#

We kinda are kinda not

coral ibex
#

you're pushing before adds?

balmy condor
#

It’s right on the cusp

haughty flicker
#

holding dps is a crime against god

coral ibex
#

its so miserable

balmy condor
#

If we full send we’re 10 seconds early to first plat

haughty flicker
#

ye unfortunately it has to be done

#

but

coral ibex
#

i fucking hate it

#

we always push artoshion and pargoth too early

haughty flicker
#

brings out my inner pilav

coral ibex
#

and i have like 12 stacks

haughty flicker
#

fr

coral ibex
#

(dont tell them that im sending 18 stacks on artoshion)

golden loom
#

so what is the dps holding actually for? 2nd platform?

#

or what happens if everyone just perma sends

coral ibex
#

its so that you have 3's up for p1

#

and then you want artoshion and pargoth to last as long as possible

#

so you have 3's again for the amp

haughty flicker
balmy condor
golden loom
#

is shaman the only 3 min class

coral ibex
#

every 1:30 is also a 3 in this case

golden loom
#

oh true

balmy condor
#

My cd cadence is pull, 1:30

#

5:45

waxen oyster
#

is boomy not a 3min spec

#

anymore

balmy condor
golden loom
#

same shit on mugzee

#

"lets hold dps so WE CAN HAVE HEALER CDS"

#

fuck off man just press your dumb little heal

#

anyways glad im playing warrior on dimmy, no holding here zugzug my cds have cdr and also dont do much SMOrc

balmy condor
#

We had our dev player go Aug cause it’s better

#

But then turbo happened and the timers are fucked

#

So now they’re on omega tilt

#

Cause Aug is spreadsheet spec

haughty flicker
#

ye thats giga cursed

waxen oyster
#

thats like sub in amir

#

then they nerf fyrak

#

so i gotta redo cds

#

for that entire fight

golden loom
#

hey atleast theres a 3% dmg buff next week, surely it doesnt fuck up things even more!!

waxen oyster
#

ngl idk if its safe to send a second flag on dimmy

#

if hes 40%

haughty flicker
#

im glad to have a fight thats like perfectly designed for my specs but by the time i get to it the timers are so fucked i just play with my dick mid pull instead

golden loom
#

5 heal dimmy fuck it

cunning needle
#

i still reckon its better to just not pick up the orbs

#

instead of full sending/holding

#

timers are so wack now

silent drift
#

Haven't touched fatebound at all, nor sin really this season, bout to give it a try, is it chill?

#

I actually liked the deathstalker tree ngl, big envenom

balmy condor
#

Fatebound is the tap water of hero talents

#

It has little to no rotational impact, realistically only does something every 1:30

#

If you can play deathstalker, you just add vanish into your cd sequence, never finish on 7, and you’re playing fatebound

silent drift
#

excuse me? never finish on 7?

#

just 5+

#

?

balmy condor
#

Well yeah, the only reason to finish on 7 would be darkest night

#

That obviously doesn’t exist for fatebound

silent drift
#

aight, which trinkets favor sin atm? i have all the major ones except antenna sadly

tawdry halo
#

Prism antenna

silent drift
#

nice, no antenna xd, double on-use gas on sin?

tawdry halo
#

It’s uhhh

#

Not ideal

#

But if you don’t have a passive myth (pacemaker, sacbrood, etc) then it’s probably fine

silent drift
#

why not, doesn't the spec turn into a 90sec spec ?

balmy condor
#

We do damage outside of our cooldowns

#

As weird as that sounds

#

Double on use is purely subtlety brainrot

silent drift
#

yeah, i have sub brain this season, my b

#

now, to make a gearset without fully recrafting shit since i play sub in m+

#

high vers sin incomin 💀

tawdry halo
#

That’s fine

#

No bad stats for assa

#

You’ll be a couple of % below optimal optimal stats but like

#

Flipping big or not probably more variance so who cares

silent drift
#

fair, i love rng

balmy condor
#

If only fatebound was actually more rng than deathstalker

silent drift
#

ima do a hot take

#

but i miss the kyrian shit

#

from early s1 this tier

balmy condor
#

Plenty of people do

silent drift
#

the little mini game

tawdry halo
#

Oh that was fun

silent drift
#

fr

balmy condor
#

All in the name of dumbing specs down

silent drift
#

^^^ It's great!

#

they removing shiv from rotation too, right?

tawdry halo
#

Yes

#

Now just a soothe

#

With some damage

silent drift
#

nice, from 5 buttons in st to 4!

balmy condor
#

7 to 6 I guess

#

But who’s counting

#

(I am)

haughty flicker
#

im gonna be honest

balmy condor
#

Wait I forgot vanish, 8 to 7

silent drift
#

mannnnnnnnnnnn

haughty flicker
#

er/sepsis/snd etc were not great buttons

#

but at least i felt something

#

i felt alive when i was doing stuff in opener

silent drift
#

i hate snd

haughty flicker
#

now i press 3 buttons and go back to envenom

silent drift
#

im glad they changed that shit

#

errrrr, even on boss fights with ads

#

fateboound?

haughty flicker
#

mostly yes

#

you can play deathstalker on dh and soulbinder

silent drift
#

interanl bleeding or swap to casutic

haughty flicker
#

otherwise fatebound

#

caustic

#

always caustic if you even sniff the fart of an add

#

as either hero talent

balmy condor
#

Tbh with current gear and rep

#

You just play fb everywhere

#

What’s the point of ds anymore

haughty flicker
#

fatebound keys pog

silent drift
#

man, i miss during prog when i hit a big envenom and i'd interupt raidlead with "ya'll see that big envenom"

balmy condor
#

And you didn’t get gkicked?

silent drift
#

am only person to touch rogue

#

balmy condor
#

If our boomkin did that on starsurge crits we’d server mute his ass

#

And he hit a 110mil crit the other day

silent drift
#

jesus, on dimi?

#

dmg amp?

balmy condor

Literally 2x a maxed darkest night envenom lmao

#

Guys can I ask, on myth plexus on 1 my cd I have logs 50, on second cd 80, but all what I change its use council on my weapon, well my question is should I up my crit for st in my gear?

#

I saw ppls they have like 20k crit and 1k haste is it good ?

grim jay
#

Is that bait or a genuine question?

#

Thats like 3 points that have nothing to do with eachother

prisma carbon
#

Sim yourself and do what the robot says

grim jay
#

The difference in CD length is a bug on fb for forever now
The enchant has nothing to do with that and is determined by your sim
How much crit you want is determined by the sim aswell

#

There are no magical stat amounts

ancient ingot
#

We don’t have cap any stat on rogue?

#

I’m just playing 2 month, trying learn everything

grim jay
#

No, as a matter of fact you dont have caps anywhere except for shatter on frostmage maybe

#

But that has to do with the mechanic and not the stat

half dawn
ancient ingot
#

I mean if u rly should focus on crit for raid, i need focus on take some gear, now I don’t have a lot and mostly playing keys when I prefer bit more haste

nova kelp
#

I just wear my raid gear when I use bleed. If it's good enough for a 17 idc

prisma carbon
#

Fatebound generally likes crit more than deathstalker but yeah sim yourself

nova kelp
#

Like the extra haste isn't going to make me. I ain't giga pushing

ancient ingot
#

I ask saw some players they literally have 1000 haste with fatebound that’s fine if we spam envemom?

nova kelp
#

Sure probably. I have more than that in raid but idk. I don't really think that hard about stats

#

FB likes some crit. I have some crit

#

Everything is good

#

Sin just be kinda easy going on stats

ancient ingot
#

Sometimes I have window when I afk like 3-5 second because don’t have energy on spam is it okay ?

nova kelp
#

That's normal

#

DW about energy

prisma carbon
#

That is sin rogue
Even if you stack haste, there will be downtime

ancient ingot
#

I worry not about energy, I’m feel like I’m afk ahahha

nova kelp
#

You WILL have small periods of downtime. Sin isn't a hammer every GCD spec. And it likely never will be.

#

what is the lowest energy benchmark to stop spamming and wait for energy to recharge to avoid consuming a charge of Thistle TEa

buoyant herald
#

you don't play around tea

cyan mist
#

wdym ? i was under the assumption that you play around tea in ST to be able to spam enough envenom during Deathmark/Kingsbane

buoyant herald
#

not anymore

#

not for like 2 seasons, maybe all xpac

#

i think we did in s1 but then the sims showed it didn't matter at all

#

so we stopped bothering

cyan mist
#

oh i didn't know thank you for the quick reply Spark so you forget about thistle tea regardless of Energy and just keep spamming envenom and send Deathmark on cd ?

#

what about being starved for energy since that is still a thing ? do i just recharge to 100 and go ?

or do i totally forget about it ?

#

you just macro tea with shiv for the mastery boost, and if it auto procs outside of that then you get the energy

#

!macro

prisma monolithBOT
#

With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

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

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

#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane

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

buoyant herald
#

you don't really play around energy at all, there's a small optimisation where you pool a wee bit about 5 seconds before you KB

#

i think

buoyant herald
#

this will change in Midnight

#

but for now you swim in energy in aoe and inside deathmark, and you run out outside of that peeposhrug

cyan mist
west crown
cyan mist
#

so basically i consume 2 charges during both shiv windows under Deathmark but the third one is just there

buoyant herald
#

yep

#

and it'll autoproc some time after that

#

and thats fine

cyan mist
#

ok that was my worry

buoyant herald
#

energy is good

cyan mist
#

forgive and forget than

#

what about pooling energy right before kingsbane ?

west crown
#

Get to about 100 and send

#

Just need enough for envenom uptime because that’s all that matters

cyan mist
#

and do i even send kingsbane alone due to Fatebound CDR or always wait for DM + Kingsbane since DM is affected by the CDR as well ?

buoyant herald
#

DM + KB --> KB --> DM+KB --> KB etc

#

DM is 90, KB is 45

cyan mist
#

perfect so Tl;DR :
Forget about Thistle Tea management
Pool a bit before KB reset (maximize envenom windows under KB)
DM+KB >KB>DM+KB

thanks a lot guys

you just want to stack KB up ASAP

#

which usually means you'll want 2 envenom buffs up when you hit it

real pike
#

I've been pooling to 280 so I can hit abilities on GCD inside kingsbane hahahah

buoyant herald
#

so you don't want to be unable to make that happen

#

once it's max stacked then nothing else you do increases its damage

#

and it stacks up pretty fast

real pike
#

Gawddamn

#

I haven't been making sure to have double env up when I hit KB tho, only one stack

#

So I should have double envenom buff active before I hit kb?

analog field
#

Just go to 150 and hit envenom KB envenom

#

No only 1 is enough

real pike
#

Ah ok I have been doing that

buoyant herald
#

checking some logs, it's taking me 4s to hit 50 stacks during DM

#

and 5.5 outside of DM

#

oh that during lust

#

lil bit longer outside of lust

real pike
#

Nvm

buoyant herald
#

well 2 stacks will stack it fractionally faster

#

but like

#

point is, once you've got it to 50 nothing else you do will make it do more dam so you don't need to have energy left after that point

#

so you don't need to pool much

#

and even then it's something like 0.5% total increase

real pike
#

Tbh I will probably continue pooling to 280 because I enjoy the feeling of smashing buttons inside cd windows

#

But at least I now have a proper understanding of how it all works

buoyant herald
#

and you can relax knowing that whatever you choose to do isn't making or breaking your dps lol

real pike
#

Relax?? While playing video games!????

#

You're out your fucking mind

balmy condor
#

any additional after that is functionally just a regular envenom and holds little to no value for your actual kb

oak tangle
#

all these people that don't understand being energy capped

#

and or how our abilities work

#

smh mh

balmy condor
#

like if full spamming is the red line for stacks

#

the green line is what you get out of envenom before + the one envenom afterwards

oak tangle
#

my engineering ass just sees a elastic / plastic deformation graph

buoyant herald
#

Kinda looks like a snowy mountain top that’s on a lean

balmy condor

or to convolute it even more

getting a stack at the start

when it buffs like a billion ticks

better than getting a stack at the end

guessing the "mutilate" after vanish is actually an ambush?

balmy condor

doesn't matter

you can also ambush first gcd if you want

I just have to put some sequence into the guide

but aside from the shiv-dm-kb, it's actually giga whatever

just checking to see if it's one of those "I need to write a mutilate in stealth macro" situations

super not strict

half igloo
balmy condor

ye

half igloo
#

oh cool, doesn't fuck with my deathstalker muscle memory from the last 2 ssns

balmy condor
#

the sequence is:

  • do whatever and get rupture/gar up
  • get envenom up
  • vanish somewhere in here -> shiv -> all the buffs -> dm -> kb
    -> shiv when the first drops
#

and then gg fatebound successfully played

#

hardest part about the rotation is not falling asleep

half igloo

haha interesting, a bit of a difference from the sub I've been playing this ssn

balmy condor

do I ever send shivs outside of cds?

balmy condor

No

haha okay that's nuts

I’m telling you

It’s 4-5 GCD sequence for deathmark

And then remembering where your envenom keybind is

That’s the entire spec

so guessing this has been a "I miss deathmark" kinda season?

Nah

Fatebound good

oh I only rly get shivs for deathmark not for the "naked" kbs

2 per dm

huh I don't even have to track any of the coins do I lmfao

do I wanna use the 2nd DM shiv during the last 8 seconds of the KB or do I just send the 2nd shiv within the DM window?

you only track it for personal dopamine

guessing in the "naked" kb I press it in last 8 sec

yeah the KB being longer than DM trips me up

is the thistle keybound into shiv macro optimal or is it just a "if ur lazy and don't care for 0.5% macro it" situation?

flint tangle

Love when coins on fatebound drops like if my walled would broke lol

midnight scroll
#

just to reiterate because i forgot, to "optimally" play netherprism we wanna vanish>shiv>dm>kb?

scarlet orbit
golden loom
#

yeah u just want to prism before deathmark coinflips

#

and most macro prism to vanish

tired bloom
#

how much of a difference is it really to use prism with first and third DM if macroed to vanish, versus use it every DM but weaker if you macro it to DM

half igloo
#

but then ur also more succeptible to shit kill timers

golden loom
#

not really?

#

if you see that boss is gonna die early

#

you just press ur vanish (its now a trinket bind)

hmmge

I guess

but estimating that 1.5min ahead is a headache

I mean foresight is the only thing u need on this spec

I like deathstalker it's just a shame it came out buggy as fuck and even if they fix it somehow it will leave that bad taste in everyone's mouth, the idea is cream imho, same as tricskter-rly good idea with some things randomly being weird, rly only fatebound seems kinda underwhelming

hearty seal
#

from the very moment I understood DS to be "combo points back on per target basis, just not called such" I started hating it

hearty seal
#

like the design is back to "you can't actually target swap, even if you're afforded time to set up dots and whatnot, you still have to move DSM and that's just not a good value proposition at all"

grim jay
#

I dont have alpha access and didnt watch any stuff on it, but to me it sounded like you can still target swap with garrote, just cant apply new marks if the actual target has some. Thats absolutely fine gameplay

#

Also even if you cant, I wouldnt care at all

#

It even introduces some thought process if you need to consume the marks before you can swap, which might be very much needed in the midnight version

spice surge
scarlet orbit
#

So for example at a boss like the dh boss in the current raid you still can fuck up because the target still has it?

Hey, quick question about how Kingsbane works. So there's the hit that is applied when you apply it, and then it stacks every time you proc poison? Is it basically another instance of damage for your lethal poison proc or is it a big hit at the end?

runic hinge
#

ticks every 2 seconds

ocean shell
#

So is it safe to think of kingsbane as like a buff to your lethal poison while it's up?

runic hinge
#

with the lowered cap in TWW you'll usually cap the stacks after like 5 seconds in dm

#

it ramps up with each poison tick

ocean shell
#

so it does tick harder, but with how it got changed, we max out pretty quickly from the sound of it?

runic hinge
#

yes

ocean shell
#

I dunno man, that isn't how I thought it worked based on the tooltip, but I appreciate the clarification

runic hinge
#

I hope I helped, if not come back when smarter people are around

oak tangle
#

kingsbane doesn't buff shit

#

the damage kingsbane does on each tick, is dependant on how many poisons you've applied

#

you can have at max 50 stacks of kingsbane damage amp

ocean shell
#

Is there anything we can do to make it stack faster?

#

Besides doing the rotation correctly, I mean

strange python
oak tangle
#

dm, envenom, more melees, haste

#

haste only for the melees really

runic hinge
strange python
#

i kinda always liked when it was strong. Rotation seems to be smoothed out enough to allow it

ocean shell
#

!mistakes

runic hinge
#

in DF when it was strong we were KB the spec and every CD sequence was centered around juicing it as much as possible, currently you can fire it and it stacks up quick and you just gotta remember to shiv

strange python
#

but then again we do press it more currently

strange python
#

Like not specifically the rotation, but just knowing KB time was hard hitting felt good

#

Why I moved to Sub after Dance was lost I guess

runic hinge
#

Depends on if you cared about your parse being dependent on those last ticks critting

strange python
#

Yea. didnt care bout parse either

ocean shell
runic hinge
ocean shell
#

it's fatebound all the way this tier right?

runic hinge
#

if you are playing fatebound you want to shiv to cover DM and then on your non-dm kb you want to shiv the last 8 seconds

oak tangle
oak tangle
#

but funnily enough, my best parse on H soulhunters was with fatebound

ocean shell
oak tangle
#

pretty much as soon as a single add exists for a single second of a fight, spatter beats internal bleeding

ocean shell
#

Any other tips for FB sin this tier in general? I feel my envenom casts were lower, any idea what might be causing that?

oak tangle
#

couldn't estimate towards that

#

would need logs

ocean shell
#

yea, that's fair. no reclears for a while and I'm planning on finishing the tier as sub. the command's !log right?

oak tangle
#

nah just link em in here

#

sub likes their review threads

#

sin is far more casual

#

not that you can't get one made, but like this is the off topic channel so log reviews keep us back on topic

oak tangle
fallen wasp
#

i have a super small question regarding m+; is it better to run fatebound instead of deathstalker if stealth uptime is a problem? or is deathstalker by default always better?

oak tangle
#

stealth uptime should not be a problem

#

fatebound kinda does less damage with more targets, and deathstalker has the funnel

#

the only problem would be if you lose your mark, but you have vanish charges, and even if a tank doesn't let you restealth between packs you with have darkest night to shift mark

#

so i'm not that sure what you mean by stealth uptime

fallen wasp
#

no i think you answered my question/hesitations actually

#

i noticed in pugs i wasnt able to restealth all the time inbetween packs due to chainpulls. but i just have to a) keep track of mark better and b) utilise darkest night always

oak tangle
#

yeah, ironic cause we're losing addons, but it could be worth having a clear indicator that you have DN proc ready

fallen wasp
#

i am using vesperaltv's plater profile now and it is already making it a bit easier to follow my dots

#

so i think its simply down to muscle memory

oak tangle
#

👍

fallen wasp
#

tbh i do kinda wish that shadewalker would reduce the cd on vanish instead of shadowstep ;p

#

but would probably make sin too easy

oak tangle
#

ha, we'll never get that

fallen wasp
#

i am also holding vanish too much i think, with 2 charges i can be aggresive. so i'll work on it. ty!

oak tangle
#

i use vanish, if the tank doesn't let me restealth, or if a pack lasts a long time

#

and occasionally below 35%

fallen wasp
#

yeah i shouldnt revanish mid pack, i gotta just manually reapply garrotes and ruptures. and rewire my brain to always open with ambush. after years of mop/classic its hard to get used to that ;p

oak tangle
#

that's not neccessarily true

#

if the pack is still healthy

#

vanish to reapply is fine

#

in my anecdotal evidence, (albeit i dont go above 12's) packs dont last long enough to warrant another vanish

fallen wasp
#

fair

#

it's been pretty fun so far at least

#

very rigid rotation

shy axle
#

never use garrotte in aoe when it is not buffed, only spread ruptures, keep ct up and splatter

mystic hornet
#

Is m+ deathstalker bleed build still ass at single target?

shy axle
#

pure st yes, if you pull adds into the fight its better

oak tangle
#

my favourite is when shitty adds are pulled onto a boss for funnel, and these dog shit paladins and others press their aoe buttons

mystic hornet
#

I see. I’ve played plenty of assa on keys but I think I prefer sub. Just feels better not having to worry about stealth and or if the tanks aware of the funnel concept

analog field
#

Every spec needs funnel in higher keys and if you do lower keys dmg does not matter

fallen wasp
#

isnt sub like super suspect to messing up the rotation? like 1-2 buttons in your burst/opener incorrectly and you do healer dps?

main bridge
#

sub is all about using your cooldowns effectively and it doesn't do much outside of them, so naturally if you mess them up it's not going to be good

mystic hornet
#

I mean yeah but the rotations easy. Push all your cooldowns and then it’s literally two buttons

fallen wasp
#

are sin bugs fixed btw? i saw the pins but no pin mentioning a fix xd

#

if not, i might dabble in a bit of sub too

oak tangle
fallen wasp
#

i guess yeah. damage numbers are still up there

oak tangle
#

it's a crazy misnomer that people have that their spec will have all bugs fixed and suddenly be over the top damage wise and not get nerfed

#

the only bug i'll accept caring about, is the tier set cdr one

#

but you can just be ethical and wait out cold bloods cd

royal lantern

aka

#

burst down the adds fast

buoyant herald
#

(Trolling, do not respond)

#

Yeah, burst + adds + amp + perfect cd timings are a hell of a boost

royal lantern
#

like

#

because sub was bursting adds down

#

others could play more boss dmg

#

needing to do something like that was not needed after a couple weeks anymore

buoyant herald
#

Turns out assass very good at boss damage

royal lantern
#

after the bug fix, yes, that was a good boost for assa

#

and, well

#

dimmi is also a good fight for it cus you have multiple "execute windows"

analog field
#

yeah 3% is not that much but also the top specs being nerfed

royal lantern
#

and assa has the strongest execute in the game rn

#

(iirc)

#

so it all kinda adds up

#

90sec cd window also means you dont need to hold cds really

buoyant herald
#

Funny how requirements to kill the boss changed from a perfect line up for sub to a perfect lineup for assass

royal lantern
#

well, killtimers change, and circumstances inside the raid change over time

buoyant herald
#

Exactly

royal lantern
#

if you dont need to minmax around add bursting anymore, add bursting becomes less important

buoyant herald
#

But those kind of nuances get missed by many leading to all the questions asking why assass is on top

fresh kelp
#

Sub is still very strong on dimensius, I'm not convinced that the slight lead assa has isn't due to tier set bug abusers

#

now that you aren't holding dps in farm, sub can't send on both artoshion and pargoth platform, assa can if they proc the bug. there are a couple top logs with bug proc allowing them to send on artoshion/pargoth/damage amp despite the time between those events being like 1min15s

royal lantern
royal lantern
#

lol

#

AND then it would be that way for all other bosses aswell, or not

onyx crane
#

lily better for ST and prism for M+?

fresh kelp
#

well specifically on dimensius it is extremely strong, just saying that a lot of the top logs (assuming we're looking at 90-95th percentile data) are using the bug, willingly or not

royal lantern
#

will top logs not always be the bug

#

cus its a dmg up if it happens and you react accordingly

#

idk, didnt look at logs much this tier

haughty flicker
#

ngl

#

like if you went in planning to use the bug you'd win out more often than not

#

true gamba hero talent

royal lantern
haughty flicker
#

its not an assumption, its literally based on my own data

#

thats the exact opposite of an assumption

weary stump
#

All my homies love coins glorpgue

haughty flicker
#

you could say its too small of a sample size which is fine, but absolutely not an assumption

marsh fjord
#

I agree it happens way more then not.

buoyant herald
#

I’ve seen comments around this that suggest there is some action you can take that makes it more likely for the bug to proc, is that the case or is it really just pure rng?

haughty flicker
#

you can apparently delay your globals until the lucky coin actually procs to reduce the chance of it happening, but idk of a way to make it more likely to happen

#

i also just always play around cb cd and pretend it doesnt happen though so never looked into it

buoyant herald
#

Ah I thought it might be something to do with some fine timings

haughty flicker
#

im not saying there isnt some tech, just if there is i dont know it

buoyant herald
#

I’m not looking to try force it, I’m just curious

haughty flicker

sounds like something someone trying to force it would say

Lots of pugs do 3/8 these days

Making friends in this game is important for this kind of thing I find

ancient ingot

maybe i also can take second myth weapon and recraft

buoyant herald

I’m fairly sure that 727 with ascendance is better than 730 in your offhand but you could

Why not just sim the options from keys as well?

marsh fjord

i wouldnt take second mythic the 727 is better

Its trinkets or boots
