cause I wish I enjoyed it

#

I wish I enjoyed logging into wow for 80 hours a week

#

running the same 8 keys three thousand times

red schooner
#

Turboboost was only tolerable for me because I had all my lesser crests capped

balmy condor
#

failing the same key level over and over

#

like people genuinely enjoy that

#

and I envy that

red schooner
#

If I had to spam like, 20-30 keys for it then, yeah nah

fair coyote
balmy condor
#

I mean yeah kinda

#

it's also my job so like, bit of a difference there

red schooner
#

I liked the game, I just also liked other games so its just, I'd like to raid in WoW then have the rest of the week to do my own things.

#

But to keep up it wasn't an option.

fair coyote
#

99% of people dont like their job, nothing knew when you do something over and over

balmy condor
#

when you have to theorycraft and write guides weeks/months before a patch or expansions comes out

#

it kinda already burns you out when the patch itself goes live

#

at least to some extent

#

and that's normal

#

I get it

#

but I sometimes wish I still enjoyed things the way that like a new player sees the game ya know

#

having that original wonder and desire to just sit and grind

#

I miss that

scarlet orbit
red schooner
#

It'd be nice to play Classic again completely blind, just, whole world to explore.

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

like if I do all my m+ on stream and then turn it into a youtube series or something, I might have the motivation to do it

#

but if I had to just kinda sit there and spam M+

#

I don't think I can do it anymore

#

I'm too unc for that shit

scarlet orbit
#

I really started playing the game at the start of df. Its probably new enough for me still to keep me engaged.

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

I started playing before m+ was a thing

#

this year marks a decade since m+ released

#

I've been playing wow for nearly 12 years now

#

and I'm 26

#

think about that

#

half of my life has been in wow

#

I think it's entirely normal that I don't have the drive anymore to grind like a degen

scarlet orbit
#

Yea for sure. And i refuse to think about that. Im also 26 and before i played wow i sunk thousend of hours in dino games.
So yea not thinking about that. I at least try to keep my mental stable

royal lantern
last skiff
#

I'm mad, because no guild that raids two nights a week wants a rogue in the range I'm looking for.

royal lantern
#

what range are you looking for kekdog

#

like, rogue tends to be one of the easier classes to get a raidspot because nobody plays it

#

and everyone wants the raidbuff spreadsheet filled

last skiff
#

350-650 world doubt , idk every time 2 rogues

royal lantern
#

2nights wr 350 is allready really high, you know that right

last skiff
#

ofc, Its like the best im applying to

balmy condor
#

It’s sad

royal lantern
#

so it feels very same-y extremely quick

balmy condor
#

I don't even think its that

#

for me m+ lost a lot of fun when I had to turn my brain on and kick and stun and do a bunch of shit

#

I think to me, M+ has always been most fun to just log in and pull half the dungeon and giga deeps

#

and I get why it's not that

#

but idk, I don't find keeping 3 mobs in a cc chain to be particularly enjoyable, even if it is the more "stimulating" or "engaging" gameplay

#

it's like would diablo or path of exile be more fun if you had to keybind CC abilities to interrupt mechanics from rares?

#

probably not

#

that sounds really unfun

#

I think it's similar to me for m+

balmy condor
#

yeh I hate poe2

scarlet orbit
#

I think thats a very popular opinion. Like acadamy or gambit are some of the most liked dungeons where you just blast big aoe in not that deadly pulls.
And then we have dungeons like streets 🙂

balmy condor
#

I think midnight is on the right track tbh

#

vision wise I was a hater

#

but I think I'm converted now

#

I'm convinced

#

but it's gonna be rough probably all of midnight while they fiddle with all the shit

runic hinge
#

Less stops. Less kicks. More blast. Pls and ty

balmy condor
#

season 1 is going to be insano rough

royal lantern
#

midnights biggest problem is not the ideas

#

its literally just that they decided to do it all at once with almost no time

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean that's just blizzard though

fair coyote
#

we have to accept that they have to finish the cook after launch

balmy condor
#

they rush everything

royal lantern
#

still wanna know who thought its a good idea to do a big UI change + the addon thing AND do some bigger changes on almost all classes AND change how they wanna make dungeons and raids all at once

fair coyote
sharp viper
#

i don't think that's what h is concerned about

balmy condor
#

it's not about who's working on it

#

it's that it's a lot of big changes all at once

#

which impact each other

royal lantern
#

blizz is allready well known for having a big "left hand doesnt know what the right is doing" approach to stuff

#

so doing all those big fundamental changes at once is kinda inviting some spicy times

balmy condor
#

like if you change itemization, dungeons, raids, class design, world content, quest content, UI, addon support

#

those are all different teams

#

but it's also like

#

basically a different game at that point

royal lantern
#

like, it doesnt matter if its gonna be positive or negative in the long run

#

the first 6-8months will be kinda yikes lol

#

thats a given

fair coyote
#

yeah, i am ok with taking the L for a few months if it works out long term

royal lantern
#

another thing is, many people forget that it does blindside a good chunk of players

#

like, there will be a HUGE amount of people that will go into the prepatch and ask "why is elvui not working anymore?????"

humble verge
#

theres no way, i open a terminal - first word and actual unlock is lobotomized ICANT

#

also what are you guys talking about

royal lantern
#

like

#

lets be real

#

the class changes are just the ussual pruning they do, and then they add stuff back lol

balmy condor
#

it definitely isn't

#

the usual pruning is nothing compared to midnight

#

like literally nothing

royal lantern
#

going mop->wod was the same level tbh

balmy condor
#

there are specs out there that lost more buttons going into midnight than buttons they have left

fair coyote
#

i think they are taking a page from classic success and trying to convert people to retail since df, and simplifying the game is part of that

balmy condor
#

idk bout that

royal lantern
balmy condor
#

yeh

#

they tried to cross-over the population

fair coyote
#

i might be biased cause i am a classic player converted

balmy condor
#

but the overlap from classic/retail

#

is very slim

#

classic players enjoy a very different game

royal lantern
#

the original idea of classic was "give people something to do bettwen patches in retail, so they can play retail until they run out of content->play classic until out of content->play retail again because now it got new content->repeat"

#

but like

#

that didnt happen

#

turned into 2 different playerbases

fair coyote
#

but to me stuff like the talent trees have very little agency and are there because of classic

royal lantern
#

its why the "faster content release schedule" startet aswell, in the end everything is based around keeping players playing your game

the Classic way didnt work, so they just went with the current "we release some smaller stuff once ina while, it maybe doesnt properly work but who cares it brings people back" thing they do

royal lantern
#

literally said so on day1

runic hinge
royal lantern
#

yeha, that kinda aswell dracthyr_kek

warm vortex
#

Smh

royal hull
#

can someone explain the reason behinde these shiv timings on kingsbane window?

#

i do understan why u do it before kingsbane

#

but idk why he uses it later down the duration

balmy condor
#

yeah, the shiv before the deathmark is for the coin flips

#

and then 8s later it expires, so he shivs again

#

he got a tier set bug, so he had everything again at 1min, so it repeats, just same thing

#

and then he uses a single shiv for the last 8s of kingsbane that doesn't have a deathmark

#

cause that's when kingsbane is the strongest

royal hull
#

yea but i see in other logs he has like plex that he only uses shiv at the begining of the kingsbane

#

but here he does it like this

balmy condor
#

on plexus you can't really use shiv on the last 8s for the kingsbane at 0:45 cause you're getting a pushback

#

but that dimensius log you linked is the correct usage

balmy condor
#

mistake I guess

royal hull
#

i see

#

tnx

balmy condor
#

he also just rips a shiv for no reason

#

which kinda fucked his last kingsbane

#

so idk, bad muscle memory or something

#

its not really too impactful of a mistake

royal hull
#

aight

balmy condor
#

in general assa has a lot of things you can do where it just doesn't matter

#

can hit random buttons 10-15% of the time and won't change your dps

royal hull
#

nice 😄

#

tbh this is really confusing , i see in all his single target logs that he shiv before kingsbane but on aoe bosses like nazindri or araz he does it at the end of kingsbane

balmy condor
#

I mean if you really need an explanation, you could point towards bigger kingsbane and using shiv for arterial precision to increase caustic damage on the adds at certain points versus using shiv at the start of kingsbane to front load more damage

#

But again, this is all just 0.whatever% differences that have no realistic impact

#

Sims have shiv at the last 8 of kingsbane being like 0.2 or 0.3% better than at the start

#

If using shiv at the start for something fight specific has a benefit, you’re probably bringing it back to equality shrugEg

royal hull
#

ah ok i guess i get the gist of it

#

ty for the explanation

#

i though its so important that i was actually gonna memorize the timings

severe meadow
#

If things like this are confusing I would probably stray away from trying to memorize how someone else plays and get comfortable with yourself first

#

Learning how these things function by itself would be helpful

#

If you just press a button because someone else did, you're not doing anything for yourself

mild dagger
#

Heyo new to assassination, what do you do if your tier set procs twice? Do you wait for CD's and trinkets to finish their CD before you press them again?

#

For Fatebound BTW

coral ibex
#

depends on the fight

#

sometimes sending kb early is right sometimes saving kb and dm for 1’ is right

balmy condor
#

You either ignore and play normally or hold and send at 1min

mild dagger
#

And does it only double proc on pull? Never mid fight?

old obsidian
balmy condor
balmy condor

#

When KB glitches and becomes misaligned, do I wait for a mark?

coral ibex
#

if you push p1 before 2:30 you want to send at 1m

balmy condor
#

If sending at 1min gives you an extra cast, then send at 1min instead of 1:30

#

Yeh

antennaglorp Vanishing On Fatebound antennaglorp

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

is hand of fate pure luck or there is some trick to it?

#

i was comparing my log with another guy but i see his hand of fate do 2% more damage than mine and that is when im doing 6 more envenoms in total

royal lantern
#

are you asking if the "flip a coin" hero talent is rng?

royal hull
#

yea

royal lantern
#

take a gues

royal hull
#

i mean it cant be that mine is always lower or am i that unlucky?xd

storm forum
#

Do logs track the damage Amp too? Or just the damage proc?

#

Cause I would expect ur just flipping different coins and its not tracking the damage Amp ones

royal hull
#

it does

storm forum
#

Or maybe yeah ur just getting shorter flip streaks and getting unlucky

coral ibex
#

you are literally asking if you are getting unlucky on a coin flip mechanic

#

and the answer is obviously yes

royal lantern
#

so

#

we did a raid reclear

#

1 of our guys was streaming on YT for friends

#

somebody did a very dumb wipe on dimmy and the RL said "allright, now everybody send him something as punishment" and 2 people insantly said Pipebomb

#

the stream got flagged by Youtube for the Word Pipebomb

can someone tell me the reason my dps is low here

balmy condor
#

starting to feel a little bit like a broken record, but you're still undergeared, your kills are still insanely long, and you're looking at an aoe fight where you have to pad to parse

#

it's week like 9 million of the patch, you're simply not going to be competitive

on a monday

#

@balmy condor i doomed a lot from early alpha sin rogue changes, can i get a tldr of the current version on beta?
im asking because i want a reason to come back... wow is an addiction on god

haughty flicker
#

biggest reason to come back is the ability to transmog daggers into swords

#

what more do you want

maiden sierra
#

why would i want swords tho

#

i like daggers

haughty flicker
#

variety is the spice of life

#

plus now you can be axeaxeination

i think i changed my mog once in 8 years of playing

maiden sierra
balmy condor
#

Stealth doesn’t matter for shit anymore, ct is a generator that spreads bleeds, energy is as slow in aoe as it is in single target, pooling is back but unclear exactly how because it’s tuned really awkwardly, deathstalker is still dumb as fuck, fatebound is good in aoe now

maiden sierra
#

sigh
guess im rerolling demon hunter

balmy condor
#

Oh and dropping kingsbane is impossible now

#

Like actual brain damage if you try to even think about it

balmy condor
#

Shiv’s gone too

#

Idk if you got that

maiden sierra
#

ya know, i quit rogue because i hated how they simplified and slowed the spec.
meanwhile im playing guild wars 2 right now and on my rogue i press literally 0 buttons in my rotation garf_sit

balmy condor
#

Okay well slow and simple is kinda the entire game now

maiden sierra
#

(im getting brain damage playing that mmo)

balmy condor
#

That’s the core feature of midnight

#

So

maiden sierra
#

if my 1 year sub did not get charged in september i would not have bought midnight...

#

it is what it is

#

ill play a bit for m+ and then quit and come back for next season to repeat the cycle

#

afterall my guild imploded this tier so i have no shackles holding me down

royal hull
#

is it just me or yall get this tier set bug as well?

maiden sierra
royal hull
#

deathmark

maiden sierra
#

yep

#

cant believe that shit is still in the game OMEGAKEKW

royal hull
#

idk how they do it but the rank 1 chinese guy on mythic raid uses it and gets a deathmark every min

maiden sierra
#

wasnt that a dps loss

royal hull
#

this is it

#

XD

#

its crazy

maiden sierra
#

i swear when i played sending at 1min due to the bug was a small dps loss as it makes things not allign with other cds

royal hull
#

it does specially since he uses prism

#

so he can do his opener every min

maiden sierra
#

but with prism is worse no?

#

since you cant get any stacks in 1 min

royal hull
#

well it is huge even without trinket

maiden sierra
#

ah

#

soulbinder log

#

useless

#

pad aoe fight

#

consult the damage graph

severe meadow
#

If you can get two DMs in execute it’s probably nuclear

#

I haven’t done anything outside of dimmy for the last two months so idk anymore

severe meadow
#

And if they good luck parsing that nightmare

maiden sierra
#

if they didint there would be a disclamer on the top of the log

severe meadow
#

They need to add one that says everyone needs to afk but you

maiden sierra
#

thats why parsing on these fights is pointless

#

its a game of who can pay your raid team more gold to afk on adds

#

god i love a fight where they exclude adds from parse

#

the warrior discord is always crying when they do

severe meadow
#

I got a 99 on it before adds died instantly

#

I escaped

#

And I think rank 16, but that’s long gone now

analog field
#

if you had DM every 1 min ofc it is a dps gain as you use vanish and racial more often the problem is most of us get it in the first one only and not on the next as the coin count is easier to achive in the opener, so it is kinda same

lethal arrow
unique lark
#

bit late, but...

Lethal Dose is the swap. Maybe it has changed, but I recall guides recommending Doomblade or Sanguine Blades, but I missed them much more than Dose.

I never tested cutting Doomblade much admittedly, but cutting Sanguine Blades cost me a 1-2M overall dps in a dungeon. After not noticing much of a difference in overall dps, simmed 1 vs 2pts in Lethal Dose--200k dps loss. I'm sure that it's a bigger dps loss than that in practice, but I kicks/CC in 12-14 keys are pretty bad right now, so a pretty minor sacrifice, since I'm still doing 8-9M overall.

If I'm running with friends that're better than the average pug, I go back to 2pt Lethal Dose, which I personally prefer. The wonders of being flexible.

pliant silo
#

what might misalign it is sending the kb at 0:30 and shivving with it

#

then you don't have the second shiv for the 1:15 deathmark

#

or it comes late if you stall 3-8 seconds anywhere

#

if you send the 0:30 kb and don't shiv with it, then you're sitting on 2 shiv charges for 15+ seconds

#

not sure what's better

#

definitely simpler to just send every minute

old obsidian
prime hull
#

But that shouldnt cause a green parse imo

brisk kernel
#

Kinda new to sin, do we have an upgrade order (crests) when it comes to gear? Main hand obv. but after that? Is off-hand equally important due to dps, multilate etc. or is the higher stat gain on chest, shoulders better?

pliant silo
#

not offhand

#

biggest ilvl upgrade pmuch

#

pretty sure it's in the wowhead guide, crafted section

#

but wrists/belt are common, assuming you'll acquire tier pieces

#

oh

#

if you just mean crests for upgrading stuff in general not crafting

#

mh chest/leg/etc in order of stat gains

Offhand is the lowest prio slot

Does anyone have good POVs for people playing fatebound talents on the araz, soulbinder and soul hunters raid fights? My logs are decent for pure single target fights but clearly don't understand the nuance of playing fatebound on these ones

sharp viper
#

Araz is just pew pew your priority target if they can take damage which boils down to: boss > pylon > boss
soulbinder logs are just a meme cause you would need for others to not do add damage to do big numbers
soul hunters fatebound is YEK DS bleed build is easier but that also might depend on how your raid is doing the fight

haughty pewter
# fast shell Does anyone have good POVs for people playing fatebound talents on the araz, sou...

My advice for Fatebound Araz is to send the 3rd Kingsbane on your assigned pylon and hold DM for the damage amp.

Soulbinder would be weird because the adds spawn at 2m which is outside of the deathmark and Kingsbane window, unless you hold it.

Hunters would be the Nexus King Build with prio target being the boss that will stay down during intermission and keeping rupture on all 3 for energy gains. The real challenge is making sure you get the whole deathmark off before the other two bosses leave the arena for the splash damage. Bad tanking can hurt here too.

#

@balmy condor I figured out the vanish issue, I had “/use 13” macro’d after “/cast vanish” and it was popping me out of stealth.

I take the trinket in and out of the macro based on the boss I’m doing so I probably got lazy once and didn’t notice it would have side-effects.

Hello guys, one question, how to use unyielding prism? do we stack 20 or...?

!vanish

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

theres a command for it somewhere LOL

scarlet orbit
#

Yea in the sub channel ^^

junior yoke
#

do we use the trink the same as subs?

scarlet orbit
#

Do you need the aoe or singletarget usage?

junior yoke
#

I mainly do m+, but I thought it has lot of raid usage too

scarlet orbit
#

In m+ as deathstalker you just macro it to dm and forget thats pretty much it.
In raid its still the best trinket but we play there fatebound on kinda all bosses now.

As fatebound you treat it like a 3 min trinket and use it every 3 min with dm + vanish. Be sure to have the flips from dm covered.

There are some boss specific timings but thats mostly it

junior yoke
#

uhmm okay

#

thank you very much for the information 🙂

scarlet orbit
#

For bosses with specific timings you can always look at lorrgs to find out the commen usage

hey guys been working on a rogue lately - i am wondering if rogues are good pve like mythic keys raids ? ?

guys can someone explain in what situations we use envenom on full stack and when on 5?

#

or do you use it as long as it is on 5 combo?or you get lucky and get more

#

ofc on fatebound talent

severe meadow
#

5 minimum

royal hull
#

i know but i mean do you sit on 5 always or you mutilate again to get 7?

Envenom at 5

If you get more it’s just a cool little bonus

You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:

Lethals:

  • Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
    Non-Lethals:
  • Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB

Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used

antennaglorp Vanishing On Fatebound antennaglorp

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

Heyo. In the wowhead guide it looks like Cold Blood is used after kingsbane in opener, id guess this should be used before? Method guide also seems to have a different opener where deathmark and shiv are swapped (fatebound)

scarlet orbit

!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

Sorry if been asked/known bug already - does anyone know why on saladbar platforms hitting titan I just sometimes don't get envenom stacks?

#

Has been happening a lot

balmy condor

probably cause the log is being recorded from the other side

Ah it may be that, but I am sometimes just not getting the buff/my WA isn't tracking it

balmy condor

haven't heard of that

Using your pack and the envenom buff bars just disappear once I get to platform

#

Is that based off combatlog info? Figured not

balmy condor

I mean it is

#

needs the combatlog to track envenom stacks

but there's nothing that would break on saladbar specifically

cause weakauras are reading your log

so i wont

#

but my dms are open lol

#

jk i would never

thorn thorn
balmy condor
#

tldr is basically you have to keep your coins very close together stack wise and then when you hit 7 stacks on one, you move away from your coin and quickly get another stack before the projectile hits you

#

or you just vanish on 6h5t or whatever works

#

point is, proc capstone

slim copper
#

interesting

balmy condor
#

12 days until prepatch

#

go go go

#

#

tier set and capstone both get reworked so you gotta get it now!

slim copper
#

the fight that I dont understand at all for the life of me is araz. Adds die too fast for CS to seem to matter. So do we go IG? and we have to swap to the echo right? or are we staying on araz as normal because of target swap inability

balmy condor
#

you never swap off of araz

#

and you definitely play caustic

#

pretty sure if caustic does nothing except cleave poisons damage it would be more damage than anything else

#

like you cleave a single envenom 25 seconds into the fight and caustic has paid for itself

slim copper
#

ok its been a while since i progged it so i couldnt remember as far as the swapping. figured same rule as loomi and rik lol

balmy condor
#

tbf at this point in the tier we are deadass 40%+ stronger than we were at the start of the tier

slim copper
#

hopefully next week goes better. I only parsed a 25 lmao

balmy condor
#

and at the start of the tier we're not swapping either

#

so now there's DEFINITELY nothing to swap to

all relevant information posted below

#

more recent findings since video

#

aw fuck

#

my comment on my own video was removed

#

sec

pliant silo
#

I macro cb with dm and with kb both (makes a few of the sequences easier)
standard rupture + envenom opener leaves you with either 3x or 1x coin state
2x, 4x, 5x coin states occur mid-pull on later cd timings
1-4 coin starts = bug guaranteed, 5 is crit rng, anything above 5 no bug
sequences below

"run" means you have to move the distance shown in the image (below) to buy 1 extra global leeway.
always run after reaching 7 and generating the first lucky coin.
optional mutilates for extra combo points are in [brackets] - not necessary if you crit.

the below "xcoin" sequences are just.. what you do if you are starting with "x" heads or "x" tails

1coin:
shiv cbdm kb (5-4)
vanish envenom (7-6)
run + mutilate
[mutilate] envenom (8-7, bug)

2coin (move the vanish):
shiv cbdm kb (6-4)
envenom (7-5)
run + mutilate
[mutilate] vanish envenom (9-7, bug)

3coin (vanish envenom before kb):
shiv cbdm (5-2)
vanish envenom (7-4)
run + kb (9-6)
[mutilate] envenom (10-7, bug)

4coin (envenom before vanish kb):
shiv cbdm (6-2)
envenom (7-3)
run + kb (9-5)
[mutilate] vanish envenom (11-7, bug)

5coin (pray for insane coin crits sealfate/dealfate):

  • prebuild combo points for envenom
    shiv cbdm (7-2)
    run + vanish envenom (9-4)
    kb envenom (12-7, bug)

In summary: after getting a "coin type" to 7, you have 3 globals to get your second "coin type" to 7 - if you move as shown in the image. 2 globals if no movement.
There are many variations that work because you can control your coinflip "pace" by moving vanish and kb around, the above examples work every time for me. It is somewhat specific, adjusting the position of your vanish or kingsbane in any written sequence may cause it to not work.

All envenoms must be 5+ combo to flip a coin ofc
vanish envenom flips 2 coins which can each crit for +1 combo
kingsbane is 1 combo, 2 if crit, +2 coins which can crit for a range of 1-4 combos total from kb

#

can stay perma melee uptime, this is far enough distance from the lucky coin to get +1 global

#

even on the smaller MFO bosses

#

always run after getting a cointype to 7, even if you have no idea what you're doing or cba adjusting your cd sequence it improves your odds by making the bug less crit reliant + allowing you to trigger the bug from a wider variety of starting conditions

#

run away from ur lucky coin

pliant silo
# pliant silo

.

oh, forgot to mention - meld works in place of a vanish.
so you vanish the 0:00 cooldowns, meld the 1:00 cooldowns, vanish the 2:00, etc.
nelf just perma bugs. non nelf has to pray for a coinflip, since they can only get 6 edge cases at the 1:00 cd set (no vanish, no meld).
you start at 1, standard cd sequence to 7-6 (with 6 edge cases) and then pray for the next coinflip to land you at 7 of the secondary coin face. If you land on the "8" result gg

basically nelf hard bis unless I missed something (totally possible)
also crit maybe undervalued slightly in sims (not sure) - since you can technically get only 4 combo points from 2x mutilate with bad luck
