what else would you play
Regular raid w caustic?
New guy here, any particular channel where people are talking midnight beta testing stuff? Am I in the right spot here? Thx
Thank youuuuu
yeah?
almost orangelogged last night 
is fatebound playable in soulhunters or it's grief? I hate managing marks in that fight
How far did you have to scroll down the meter to find yourself?
eh, FB loses dmg when its multiple targets
you put mark on ilyssa and when its ~20sec until inermission you swap it to the intermission boss, repeat
I know but I've seen some top logs with that setup, and was wondering if they are really good/high rolling or if it's viable
thats kinda it
okey, i will try it that way, thanks @royal lantern
probably just the ussual Bug Highrolling 
logs on assa are an absolute meme rn cus its all just "lol be lucky and highroll the bug 2x in a row xd"
who would have guessed that they would ignore the bugs, up until now 
ty for the tip tho, will give it a try
I like the 1 in 100 pulls when it doesn’t give any cooldown

lemme log 2 sec
actually number 7, not bad

Higher than I would get on Fatebound tbf
But I like to turn my brain off as much as possible on that fight
i like to log
thats why i have my brain on

what are you even logging as fb on the fight
Tbh I haven't done it on mythic on fatebound cause we've been extending for weeks and just killed dimmy last night but I assumed it would just be a fb zerg by now
rank 1 log is FB 
Bosh
why would I make that up
well I need SH boots
only killed 4/8 on this so far so need the fract kill
wheres your 4 other rogues
not alting rogues 
smh

no
🤨
oh nvm
i found it
i need to gear up sergeifir
and make a Sergeifem
and Sergeiseks
😎
i dont have an addiction
should make more rogues thru lemix tho
have yet to touch it
If you climb any further I'm gonna have to get a restraining order on your ass
time to bribe our priest for some pi
ive yet to fix my dim log
its still blue
im only 6 points behind u lol
i think if i actually fix the dim log
im over you
you can tell what my rogue has been relegated too... an alt..

how's your zug zug arc going?
probably, I'm gonna have to go all in next week 
gonna buy r3 prepots
just to beat you
avid r2 user
but also my warrior is stuck in prog so I cannot fix my logs either 
boss dead soon tho 

we've been in p3 twice
once with 5 alive, and the other was 20 alive no lust 60% dead to first mechanic
rofl

My group is still stuck on soul hunters, so at least they aren't me 
Just like me fr
@humble verge ok araz 1 shot, SH now please gimme boots!!
also please let the group kill them and not disband
what even are these creatures 
I get my Dr pepper and I watch people somehow die to the green beams in mythic soul hunters, and I vibe
ok time for gym
@humble verge rolled 99 on wrong item
what the sigma
now you jsut have to beg him for the boots

naub
soaked melee -> got 2nd soak targeted on me and noone stood in it 
and I didnt have netherwalk
What the sigma
so all bosses 1 shot so far, wonder if fract will be a weakaura wall 
Is it mythic?
ye
possible that it just gets rushed down with all the gear and dmb buffs
Probably
where is this from lol
yeah idk soul hunters were the biggest joke it felt like
we have a google docs application for "can you complain about not getting ONE HEAL"
I think even if everyone's a god damage wise you still have to deal with at least swapping lanes once
If the pug downed sh surely they blast tf out of frac
True realistically though
yee I was just memeing cause no matter how good the group is usually theres a tech issue for a few pulls 
Also man my guild's been on soul hunters for 3 weeks because people are bad at dodging lines 
We took two raid nights to do fract even, which is crazy
The WA boss always rears its ugly head

Ovinax our formerly beloved
seemed like my CDs were bugging out a lot last night in raid playing single target fatebound 🙁
cant wait for midnight where we still get WA bosses, but without WA 
we wiped literally first wall placement

Banger
I hope we get ovinax but now shadowy instead of spidery
!macros
!tea
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
Drink yo tea twin
okay only 3 pulls not bad
That is pretty good
Any clue how could I sim for Dimensius? Since I'm not playing anything else atm, I just wanna put the best gear/gems for that specific boss.
You could lower the antenna catch rate a bit but other then that its 1 target patchwork
Iirc you lower antenna to 40% or so
is this a new bug ? (dimensius) till now the "bug" reduction was like 30s not 1.5 is this new or a boss thing
Just proc what do you mean
You simply will deathmark into existence
hello - please if I am min maxing the vanish - deathmark combination, I want to press vanish (Master Assassin sauce) when Kingsbane is finishing in Deathmark, to maximize crit for the largest tick of kingsbane yes?
This question makes no sense
? how so? master assassin is +20% crit for 12 seconds from breaking stealth - I want those +20% when I am geting largest KB hit no?
Ideally you shouldnt have master assassin and kingsbane in the same build
The raid build does not have master assassin and the m+ build generally does not have kingsbane

Tough.. no feet..
Dimi probably just killed my guild 
at least you dont have to see the people you hate in said guild deal with the no-addon boss then 
We had a really frustrating night on him last night
Didn’t even get back to 2nd platform, was rough
We actually did some progress today nearly got to p3. But we bleed so many players
Bad vibes?
Bleeding players while making prog is a little crazy
Alot of real life changes. New works, kids etc.
Fair enough, I plan on retiring soon and focusing on school
Also just not a huge fan of how midnight is looking
On top of literally none of my friends plan on playing it rn
This season feels somehow really bad. Maybe its because there is less hype for the new expansions then usual. Alot of the usual guys i play with dont play anymore
well, its the end of the expansion, most people dont last that long tbf
this is my first full expac since legion atleast
only because ive had a lot of fun raiding
I think there's a lot of tentative feelings about.
Some expecting hell on earth and are already massive detractors. Probably likely to hate everything based on the smallest grievance.
Some being giga apologists who will defend the most brain-dead decisions at their own peril.
The rest either don't care and are playing tarkov or care but are too busy overthinking to play.
Alongside the fact that the xpac is winding down just waiting for the next... It happens
turbo boost + no new season for 4 months
nobody wants to log in
if ur not still progging or in reclears
you're either a collector or ur logged out
im 10000% done with m+ this season
To be fair... We had fated seasons 3 times through. And a lot of the player base stuck around to play through them.
But everyone still bitched and moaned.
So they've gone back to the ole tried and failed method of letting the xpac just slowly die off. Because that's what people said they wanted.
i dont really think fated is a good idea
and ive said how i hate turbo boost multiple times before

I wasn't a huge fan PERSONALLY because a lot of my friends vanish in fated as we've finished everything. BUTTTTTT that's a super specific standpoint in a small community of people.
If you're at high end it's probably the same for all of us
But in terms of the general community fated is good and creates a big continuation in engagement across the greater group
Yeah it's engagement for engagement sake. Which has merit. So long as it's not filled with reasons to FORCE you to stick around imo
Turbo boost very good for casual players
Either way imo those versions of winding down an xpac is better than the slow death method
Being a serious player in a casual guild is a special kind of torture
Since it means aotc took way longer than it really should have 
Man one of my favourite guilds I've ever been with were SERIOUS heroic tier proggers. Like running out of time to get aotc lol.
They were TERRIBLE. But god I loved raiding with them.
Oh god I couldnt do that
back in shadowlands when i first started raiding
This one got aotc the week lemix started
It took us way too long to get aotc
1 day a week raiding so its kinda whatever
But it was a little torture for me
It was actually entertaining playing along those guys. Nothing felt like it got old.
Very big fish in a little pond feelings though
Pretty much
I dont hate playing with casual players, I love my guild
But I would be lieing if I said it wasnt torture a bit when we were on day 3 of dimmy and still hadnt seen p3 on heroic

how do you figure
are casuals grinding out infinite gilded?
who is still progging aotc
More people than you would expect actually
There's people who are still pushing for aotc. Bet
100% there are a ton of people still doing it
It's a big world out there
do those people even do +6 keys to get gilded
Some casuals are truly awful at the game
who are we talking about here
Probably not
these are the people who can barely do a 7
so we're griefing the entire end of the season for a tiny subset of players who are so bad that they are still progging aotc
and the people on reddit who consider 10s real content
Cauals are not a tiny subset
The guild I was in back then. Those guys. Like half of them were too scared to DO a mythic + dungeon.
That's for the big boys
they do LFR/normal and delves
They are the majority
That's most players yeah
The actual majority of the playerbase does benefit from turbo boost
There's like a thousand of them for every you
Majority by percent
like i have a whole guild of casual friends who think heroic is tuned too hard and just do casual normals and they hate turbo boost because it just feels like extra chores
for no real gain
Those are the real tiny group
"dude lets do a drunk +4"
type shit
these people dont need gear they need god
to clear aotc
Thats all casual players
because casuals never really use addons/wa, but since every RWF guilds use every utility there is to raiding - blizz has to tune it so that they cant clear the raid in an hour week 1
I have been in a ton of casual guilds and they have each been their own unique and tortured experience
And they all would 100% need what little turbo boost gives them to actually do vault keys and aotc
Cuz they need god
And probably more
Some of them are genuinely the worst players I have ever seen, no cappy
God I wish it wasnt that much sometimes
Trying to do keys on my alts has been actual hell since turbo boost started
The demons came out of hiding 
Rofl yeah. But also. Be thankful they exist
A game with no casuals suffers.
Talk to any fighting game fan or someone who's into destiny
Destiny 
majority of subs are casuals

if you consider this, 12000 guilds have killed dim on hc and gotten curve
thats around mehhh 240k people that are a bit over casual
they like to actually do some raiding
16,3k guilds cleared normal ~327k
those are just known numbers
but out of those, there are atleast the double amount of people that just play wow to play wow
or else i dont think we would be where we are
there are an abundance of casuals who just play
and then you have the top 0.1% who are there to clear the expansion
or more so 0.01%
Collectors, roleplayers, M+ers, delvers, and world content andys fall into that category
no
M+ers are easier to track then the rest
casuals dont even m+
most REAL casuals just do delves
since they either 1 - have played the game so long and play solo, so they just delve for gear
or 2 - have tried m+ but the experience didnt fit them and they are doing something else
i can tell you probably not even half of the wow community has touched m+
most keys are run by the same people over and over again
sure, theres been done almost 30m keys
but you have A LOT of keypushers
doing 10+ runs a day
My missus just finished the campaign. And if you listen to her talk about it story mode raids are LITERALLY the best thing ever in wow
yeah
story mode has really made raiding accessible to casuals
because theres barely anything they need to do
but they can consider themselves a raider
isnt story mode just 1 boss to finish the campaign?
Yup
yes
Yep
but it just being there is a great addition to the game
will spattering off dimmy hit the adds in p1
oh god, looking back at one of my first casual raid guilds
ty
damn salad bar is at 2k kills already
eh I think its just because getting to 6/8 is alot easier
thats also true
even if you compare to just last tier, where last 2 bosses were easier
but the middle 3 were harder
and since you wipe alot in p1 even for guilds that need 250-300 wipes you get there decently fast time spent in combat wise atleast
my guildie told me that if youre in the top 500 guild in the world getting CE youre a casual, if you are top 300 raiding 3 days a week then youre semi casual, hall of fame = hardcore.
bro was not ragebaiting me... i cant believe people can be this delusional.
thats in term of raiding tho
unironically
That certainly is a take
I guess it depends how you define "casual"
like
casual wow player
it doesnt fit
but if youre a casual raider
yeah 500+ is casual as CE
casual maybe clears mythic on the last week of the tier at best
i would consider my guild casual, even tho we did spend 8h on saladbar one sunday...
semi hardcore i say is top 800
Like there's a "friend" in my guild... He doesn't raid myth. He kinda gets carried in heroic. But he's more "hard core" than any of the ce Bois are.
Like he eventually completes EVERYTHING
I can't even imagine playing as much as he does. And I've been playing since vanilla beta
I do ce. He does EVERYTHING else... Imo I'm a causal next to him
And I have like 1200 mounts lol
He still absolutely dwarfs me in the game as a whole
if turbo boost and raid renowns are here to stay you can definetly start to notice the gaps in skill even at similar wrs even more
like guild at wr 1k doing 1k+ wipes per tier is just crazy to me
if blizz didnt give you extra ilvl and 15% dmg buff wouldn you even be able to clear in 6months
yeah sure we used to have slightly more nerfs to bosses, but they were almost always mostly mechanical, the hp nerfs were usually 5-10%, now you get way more dmg from renown and turboboost and you still get the mechanical nerfs
I mean. That's always been a reality though right. Like at the end of that logical math is the world where were still progging the same bosses as the world first guys fought.
And in that world there's like 12 ce guilds
no, like I said you would always get the mechanical nerfs
but a measly 2 months ago nexus king would have been under 200 kills and now its at 2k
thats alot of the boss dieing for 8 weeks
i mean, we went for almost 800 wipes being top 400
I mean sure. But they can only nerf mechanics so far until it's just heroic. So they find another method for large scale tuning not bound to the encounter
It's the same measurement through another method
Sometimes you find a different boat for the channel. Sometimes you dig the channel wider.
yeah but you probably killed dimmy what week1 of turbo boost or smth?
now imagine being in a guild that got to nexus king same time as turbo boost came out and still needing 700 wipes for last 2
Your analysis isn't wrong though. You're right in that a lot of guilds essentially RELY on ongoing nerfs and large scale upward tuning to manage it.
But it's better than all those players getting burnt out I guess from a development pov
If we really cared. Wed start looking at achievement dates
dont misunderstand me, overall I think the nerfs are almost always a good thing
I just think they might be slightly too much
and by nerfs im counting all the systems togethers, not just actual boss nerfs
our power gains included
Maybe... But also that's part of the development side of thinking when it comes to the "shoulds" they're aiming for in the coming add-on cull
nah we did week 2
100 ways to skin a cat or whatever
Arguably they picked a silly way... But it's a way lol
I agree with you though
Sorry wasn't meaning to sound like I disagree
its just a new thing in tww, the gap didnt use to be so big
even in Nerubar honestly it wasnt that big
but they threw the nerf hammer on queen before she had even 100 kills so hard she didnt even need nerfs after lol
That's true with nerubar yeah. I was actually concerned my guild was Gona struggle in bug palace
But by the time we rocked along at like wr 900 she was a shadow of her former self
obv im biased and was blessed to be in the guild I was
just not a fan if this is how every tier is going to look from now on
I am in fact in the Tarkov waiting lobby xd
God I hope 1.0 isn't bad
well same thing really 😛 week1 had the dmg buff aswell right
but servers are going to be FRIED this weekend
Every time I open an fps I'm just worried about cheating lol
reasonable its definetly too widespread in some titles
and once you get that feeling that you have a 50% chance of just wasting your time its hard to shake it
like I might aswell play card games I can only blame myself and rng there!
I played destiny 2 for the LONGEST time. And we always knew cheats were kinda common. But fuck me.
Over time I had just sorta accepted that I was average at BEST in d2 PvP. On occasion I was good. But normally going 1:1 kinda deal
One day though. I log into disc and see my friends OUTRIGHT cheating. Watching them though changed my perspective for good.
Literally every round. They would look through walls at someone and t bag at them. And without fail. That person would look and t bag back
Every. Single. Time.
Suddenly my 1:1 didn't feel so bad...
Is prisim + antenna the best trink combo for 4 pc fatebound?
Yezzir
Even tho its reasonable I think outside of like 2-3 outliers its insanely rare to encounter them on most fps games
And do use only when we have vanish or on DM?
Ideally every 3 min before you dm so you buff the coin flips, some people macro it to vanish since you basically use vanish also every 3 min
You can also use it every dm but it is a tiny bit worse
This kinda depends. Using on vanish is "best". But sometimes kill timers won't allow for you to maximise like that. Sometimes it's better to on DM. It's hard to give a general answer for CERTAIN. But like default is on vanish
^
That makes sense, I noticed that on first mythic boss. Thank you

At least sometimes you won't know on Tarkov
But if the account has tanked stats with a stock adar, they're prob cheating

whats up with all the assa dimmy logs, havent checked in a while but I thought sub was ahead. I heard assa is relying on that tierset cdr bug, is that true?
Assa just better on dimmy
You don't even play Rogue..
Not really, its just that sub gets completely fucked when timers arent good
Assa doesnt get as screwed
Hey guys noob question. I haven't played retail in 2 months. Whats the trinket combo should I go for in both raids and m+ ? I currently have heroic lily and antena. ( Myth track raid trinkets aren't accessible to me ) Sorry for random question
Hero prism/ araz or myth lily + myth pacemaker ?
prism / antenna is the usual go to
@severe meadow not me gonna play assa on dimmy b/c our push timings are so cooked
time to pray for cdr bugs

!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
im hyped
mostly been pve enjoying casually last couple wipes but looking to pvp with the boys for 1.0
sitting in queue on tarkov with midnight beta crashed on the side 🔥
Yo am I crazy or does the 4pc seem to desych a lot more on nexus king than elswhere?
real
it desyncs pretty much the same on everything
I guess I just notice it more easily casue its during the move after first soak and not much else is going on
At least you got to send 
our hpal played hpal for a day on this boss then swapped to ret
imagine if i had autumn there

nice flips
you got your edge case
why you bitchin
ren check
Did you watch me min clear day 1
i saw lotus but i had to go before slime
I checked slime health and was like oh this is free
And forgot about the heal
So I thought it would be a chill 15 min kill
And it ended up being 28

ez clear
i didnt realize there was a countdown event, i couldve had another mag pot and been 250 now
unlucky
Nerds
Why gay tho
because she actually is
i checked the damage amp on my nk kill and jesus christ
i got shit on
our enhance procced out of his mind + had pi but still wtf
Hey all! New sin rogue here. Is there any recommended videos for rotations/tips/tricks? I’ve watched a few and they’ve been pretty helpful but my damage is abysmal in m+. I’m 690 and only doing 2.5-3m dps. Following Hekili is slightly worse… on dummy’s I can burst to 10mil but in dungeons it’s 7-8 maybe once. I’m just looking to see what’s average at that 690 ilvl and what resources helped you the most
This is why they made timestamps.

Thank you!
do i refresh rupture before my big cds regardless of its remaining duration so i dont have to refresh it during dm kb combo? i feel like if i dont do it, it falls of during cds. downside is, i refresh not being in pandemic
it only matters that you dont press rupture during cold blood
otherwise you can refresh it during pandemic at any time during cds
thanks
also on my solo kbs i feel like i cant really get that much envenoms out. i pool a few secs, but regardless of that, my tea charges are mostly used at that point due to auto use. is this the nature of things or can i optimize here?
just how it goes
as long as you have envenom going the first few seconds thats what matters, not being able to envenom near the end of it isnt an issue
by that point its already stacked up
very nice, you have my interest, tell me more
she's canonically stupid, and you can eat crayons while playing her
which flavour of crayon?
multiple
when they announced her, they said specifically they want it to be easy to play
for new players and stuff
specifically targetting new players
and by god
it's braindead easy
i think that's nice
it's the ret paladin of maplestory 
very fun tho
high mobility, tanky as a mfer, very easy, visually stunning
it's nice to cater to players who enjoy an easy gameplay experience over having to try hard and use a brain
does a fk ton of damage for no reason
yes

its getting boring doing the most dps every key
someone will have to carry ME
for once
remember someone mentioning they did 15 keys as FB rofl
honestly

maybe i should do some sub
Its very good rn
have yet to try it in keys
Current sub is pretty pog
im still trying to understand m+ opener for sub
how are you rupture spreading as sub
hm ok
and is it bp on 5+ targets instead of 8+ now???
4 targets
jaha.
pad 😏
depends on key ig
There are millions of commands in the sub channel
To find the answers you must head there.
daily ego fueled
Where is the sub gameplay u filthy liar
I do that with my 700 ilvl warrior bruh
in dawnbreaker i dont think so

pussied out
Bro just hit dummies for 10 min
Read the rotation
And ur already gapping majority of the playerbase
I will convert you to play this iteration of sub before its lost forever

no
no


Stay strong king don’t let the bottoms win
Advice @stuck knoll should have taken long ago
Don’t out yourself like that queen what the helly
Outing Zine don't at me
@indigo sphinx what
also died with stacks before last boss, got doublestacked in melee on miniboss
She’s implying you’re fucking
And the pegging prophecy loosely (like zine) came through
Also that mf left

Ele shaman bottom energy for sure
Just like Ronkles fr
Can’t believe zine would leave us
@balmy condor can you hack into poe servers and make the nameless seer spawn in my crimson township pls. ty. i'm only about 200 maps in
scry about it
you still playing the league?
yah, quick break for new maplestory patch
i started a few days late, the tree is nice, but i wish there was more tinks from breaches
but i haven't been doing breaches on giga juiced maps yet
ctrl+F "raidbots.com" in this channel
Is there a way to see damage by phase using lorrgs or do I have to click individual logs and go through them
lorrgs is separated by phase
I see the phase separation lines but I'm wanting to see damage totals per phase
thats not what lorrgs is for
I didn't really say it was, I was just wondering if it also had that feature
I swapped to assa instead of sub for our dim prog because our adds melt into the floor without the extra sub cleave however I wanted to directly compare assa and sub p3 outputs
That's what I thought but I wanted to actually see some numbers validating it in p3 only
? im pretty sure assa is more boss dmg in all phases lol
I figure the execute damage allows sin to be ahead but sub should do more in the 100% amp
assa is indeed more damage in all phases
Right, the nature of that amp is the only reason I'm questioning it
assa loses like 2/3 of the amp because you still set your stuff up 
Yeah
but who cares about the amp when you do more dmg afterwards
its not week5 of the tier anymore
I would have thought the amp damage had more of an impact on shortened p3 the longer the tier goes
Now that we are at 15% buff
yea you will feel really good wiping to mechanic issues with the boss at any percent
lol
no
your p3 will not be short if you are still progging dim at this point
your p3 will be long bc people will die to literally everything
the whole time
Listen man, I understand that lol
bad circle placement, poor character management, eating lines
P3 isnt going to just be some free burn
your damage doesn't matter at all
when you had a 28% pull, followed by 6 p1 wipes and then 3 people dying to the planets spawning in p3 
you will kill the boss when your raid learns how to pilot their characters in p3
But I'm optimizing my character anyway because why not
i think it does because people dont want to play the last gravities where you have to run against the pull
ok, you are just going to drive yourself crazy optimizing something that has no impact
Uhh
you're gonna do them anyway
by the time your raid figures out how to move in p3 it wont matter
you are gonna do them multiple times
nah we got into p3 3 times and we got to 40% brah
Its not rocket science, once I figure out which spec is going to do more for us in p3 I will simply be playing that
Im not agonizing over it
the % doesnt matter really because that the time where the hard overlaps happen tbh 
the simple answer is assa does more damage in every phase
That's all I need then
Also fb burst in st is pretty close to sub anyway
Like I'm sure it's pointless to some extent for me to think about this stuff when I'm in a guild that slow progs mythic with low raid hours
But I draw enjoyment from optimization
i mean yeha
buut its mostly just
if you are not in the top50% of hall of fame
your spec choice doesnt matter really
cus wipes will literally never be related to dmg
I mean yeah I could be playing outlaw
But for me, if I choose to think that way
Why am I playing
but to your priest constantly dying, your mages and warlocks not target swapping, and your warriors playing Floor PoV 48sec into a fight

Yea i getchu, optimizing is a fun minigame while everyone in your group gets the fight
I technically do adopt that mentality towards m+ so I guess it's not a stretch
I dont see any point in pushing against an infinite system if I'm not going to be a top leaderboarder
I'm scared to ask which of the 2
2nd platform 🙂

Yeye I meant like the 1st wall or the wind push wall


and like, 1 envenom that spattered
why does boomie just get free dps even as 680 😭
my wl friend is almost 710
but then again, relearning wow again
destro is burny boomkin
I remember destro being big easy
destrolock looks at players talking about ret/bm/Devoker being braindead specs and laughs


Pretty sure its more damage in all phases
especially since almost no guilds actually hold to enable you to cd every platform as sub
I guess your living mass damage on first set is lower since sub has more ramp
but ngl if people still struggle with living mass damage with 15% buff and turbo boost ilvl
what exactly does the parses column mean?
I thought it woulda been # of parses at the time of logging but that doesnt line up
thats what it is
oh nvm I'm dumb, I thought I had it sorted by date
well that is true
oh ryler answered
im blind

@haughty flicker you're the dog
How do you fight the urge to alt f4
when dimmy parries you in opener
i fucking hate that shit so much
getting randomly parried by a boss just shouldn't be a thing in 2025
a tiny chance to say fuck you in particular is just dumb
My record so far is triple parried
stand behind the boss bozo
yeah get sucked into the void to make sure your opener hits
why didnt i think of that
just shadowstep back up again
so true
Dimmy gives the big succ
Uninstall at that point tbh
the trick is that I'
am full inside
I don't have an urge to alt f4
because I don't have an urge to anything
I am nirvana

Punishment, full day of m+
god has entered my soul and I am free
nah I'd definitely kill myself before that
noooooooo ahaha you're so sexy don't do that
🫦
I thought about it
Like oh maybe I can help carry this dimmy kill
With my shit ass cleave on platforms
I will live with my crafted neck and ring until midnight
Me bussin all over it
the add will be focused by 40% of my poison damage
when you buss it's green?
are you some sort of lizardperson
Man they moved the big add away from the wall on 2nd platform
And I was like hey why we doing that
And he had the audacity to tell me to hard swap and rip CDs into wall
we had the wrong adds die in the wall
and the raid lead opened logs
went down the list
was legit all just cleave
rip cd's into the wall
Yeah everytime that happens
jfc
“Melee you have to focus the correct one”
Bro it’s all cleave
No one is swapping xd
"engulf?" evoker goes "that's cleave"
"caustic spatter, that's cleave"
"oh starsurge" boomkin goes "that's the cleave from starsurge"

lmao
You still on nk?
yeah we only raid 2 days a week
Same
If we raided 3 days a week we’d be done by now
But nooo people have jobs and kids and wives
oh to be 16 again
dad's at his gf's house, just me, the lich king, and a swimming pool 20 feet from my pc
TAKE ME BACK
NO RESPONSIBILITIES
I was playing CoD like a degen in those years
I didn’t really get into wow until MoP
Cata I was really casual
I started in bc but didn't really get into raiding until icc
14 year old me didn't have the balls to get in vent with a bunch of 20 somethings
sure that it isnt the covid talking
We started having just 1 ranged person swap to it for a few globals to make sure the right one was ahead
How yall feeling about midnight sin so far
good, changes simplify the spec and remove a lot of jank, there's no concerns about restealthing in M+, some people take issue with pooling
I take issue with the loss of shiv
i will miss shiv
fatebound m+ player speaking
hes just getting ready for midnight
I’m here to break the meta
i think this question will sound incredibly stupid but is there any way to check what a theoretical top gearset sims for? like i've searched for other guys posting their ST sim for over 6m and i can barely reach 5.7m
they might be using a shorter sim duration
wow thanks didnt expect this to be a thing
theorycrafters usually have test profiles
they're not really useful for anything else
could be a set to strive for :^)
yeah sure, but that's not how gear works
"bis" is already flawed just on concept alone with how gear works
Hello there! Im new here and was thinking of giving Rogue a chance. However i cant seem to find a proper rotation guide, do you guys know where i can find one?
!guide

IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
Thanks!
So methods guide only show opener for fatebound, does that mean that deathstalker is stronger?
method guide has openers for both
Yeah openers but the rotation after is what i want to find
Like when to use trinkets, shiv etc etc
that's consistent across both hero talents
you always press shiv with cds, you always press trinkets with cds
maintain rupture
spam envenom
gg
Okey, so if triniet is ready and lets say kingsbane has like 5-10 sec left. Do i wait with trinket?
Normally this shouldn’t happen
Then i have some practice to do, cuz i have that trinket which you can use every 20 sec. Do we use it on cd?
This season if you are using lily, you would macro it to deathmark. If you are using prism you would macro it to vanish in single target using it every other DM
You want to let prism build up stacks
If you are playing deathstalker and have 2 minute DM you wanna macro prism to that

Assassination Weakauras/Plater profiles:
Whispyr's Afenar Edit

Devlin's Group
Ceverion's Plater
Whispyr's Plater
I use whispyrs edit and plater
In single target with fatebound you wanna macro your prism to vanish
Okey, thanks a lot man i will be practice a lot at dummies
Don’t hold dm for vanish either btw! Vanish with your dm at 3 minutes after your initial opener. Use your cds on cd is the general rule
Aah okey, and we use vanish to get more powerful garrote and rupture?
no
you use vanish to flip an extra fatebound coin
you don't talent into improved garrote
and there is no stealth benefit to rupture
Haha okey, i gotta do some reading i guess. I miss the good old youtube guides haha
This is why they made timestamps.

==Time...
it's timestamped
and if something isn't answered in that
I will kill myself
3.33hr long?! 😂
Aah its you! I will check it out later and hopefully i will have learned something
there's nothing like a pooks video
I'm also the writer of the method guide you read earlier
and also the wowhead guide if you read that
you should definitely do that
don't whisper whispyr he's a busy man 
just type in here and get bullied for not knowing things
until you know things
and u can bully people
Hahah learn the tough way
U Stinky
realistically theres probably multiple variants
If you're only 5.7 you likely aren't 730 in just about every slot
Didn't whispyr say there were thousands of variants all within margin of error or something lol
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/udgzntC58djKdiRU6yeYka I boiled the ocean for an hour just to see the classic "Your currently equipped gear is the top gear"

question is what're you even simming for
Fun 
man
playing fb on SH aint that bad tbf
forgot to talent change for this glory run im boosting
and its pretty good dps as long as all are stacked and you got rup on all of them tbf
might try next week

Have a build to share? I loathe playing DS on SH
it just the standard FB with caustic spatter
Oh I see, been using it too
Hey all, I got mythic soul hunters coming up tonight with my guild and I can’t seem to figure out what to do in council fights like it. Any pointers?
hit darksorrow, upkeep rupture on all 3
Run around like a headless chicken trying not to die and moaning about how shit the fight is
That was my strat
That’s it? Just focus dark and maintain rupture? I do that and still always have pretty low dps or at least compared to the rest of the guild
So we’re just naturally bad at that fight then?
not really, assa is kinda good on it
What is kinda the expected dps on that fight. I only have heroic to base it off of but I hit around high 6m to low 7m dps normally. A majority of my guild is hitting 10 mil though I know some of those classes have much better cleave for council fights
For an assa rogue, median is around 8million
that said the variance of dps in 3 target cleave is pretty high, its like +-2m dps or smthn
Heres the page for the statistics ifyou'd like to see
Well at least I can hit the lower quartile lol. Is this a fight that I should be using crimson tempest on or would a more ST build be better?
I used the m+ build
You use the indiscriminate carnage build for hunters?
doing good on SH is entirely dependent on how shit your tanks are
yes
in the way of keeping the bosses together right?
Yes 2 of them are tankable so they need to run after the one jumping around. If you have slow tanks your dmg will suffer because you lose uptime on them obv
Wanting to actually stick with assassination for more than a handful of weeks, the one thing that feels "bad" to me is the fact that we are supposed to run out of energy/have downtime in our rotation. My brain always goes "oh im not pressing buttons therefore im not damaging therefore im playing bad". How do i get around that?
Is it just knowing that between bleeds/poisons/autos that yes, i am actually still dealing damage?
i would rely more on actual measurements of your damage and not how you feel
assa is a cd-based spec so we do more damage during cds than not
so damage output should feel spikey to some degree
with ups and downs
you might be more interested in other specs/classes that have flatter damage profiles, so you always feel like ur doing damage
Sub's another burst spec right? Are the cd's quick enough for it to be "flatter" than sin or is it about the same?
sub is way worse
I really really want to like rogue 🤣😂
sub is even more feast/famine than assa
outlaw is one of the flattest specs though
you do healer damage outside cds
Sub is much higher highs and much lower lows. If you’re looking for consistent in rogue it’s outlaw. But outlaw is considered one of the most difficult classes in the game
Just through sheer apm right?
it also completely collapses under forced downtime phases
it needs 100% uptime to realize its damage profile
yea only grapple
I would say that most specs don't do very well outside of CDs. Yeah ok they press buttons but doing 0
This true
hey! saw someone talking about performance issue with plater and someone else linked other nameplate addon for less lag, anyone have the name ?
Yes this is why it’s one of the most difficult specs, it requires precision to maintain uptime. But if you get it right then it’s consistent with over 90% uptime
want to see how bad plater is ruining my fps
I suppose ill try to just gear and learn on assa then when i feel silly goofy ill put time into outlaw
This being said i tend to not go higher than AotC on dps specs bc i feel too bad/stressed about my damage to feel like id do any good in mythic
How I’ve been doing assa in raids and M+ bosses is I spam abilities during cds like you’d normally want to and I just hella pace myself outside of those. The big thing is making sure you deal massive damage in cds everything else is just maintaining bleeds and using envenom when you can. If you have more 5 or more combo points don’t muti again to hit the 7 max it’s not worth the energy cost
i think in theory yes, but its not consistent?
Yes
Tricks the boomkin, throw knife the boss, insta vanish
Blame boomkin for not paying attention
ya cuz thats how you reset
But if boomkin hit boss or interacted with you during reset, they would get aggro
Or you could tricks them
and gaslight the raid into thinking the boomkin did it

Xd?
Or you just wait for the boomkin to cast wrath 10 seconds before the pulltimer, as it tradition.
