@balmy condor its not in the pins so im gonna ping you peepoguns

you think its worth going caustic+CT now instead of Caustic+PB for Raid stuff where you gonna cleave a bit more in general

nova aspen
#

hello shindig

#

u handsome man

royal lantern
#

or that its more of an "just manual dot a 2nd or 3rd target" angle

stupid prepatch questions time because I'm either blind or nobody thought to put it in the FAQ
is 21k DPS in ST doing okay for prepatch? what's the average numbers people are doing?

Is there a raid training dummy that isn't constantly sitting below 35% hp?

nova aspen

there are dummys directly above the dummy courtyard

on like those two pillars

people usually forget about them

#

any point in using platynator over plater?

nova aspen
#

if you prefer to customize your own nameplates, platynator is way easier to use

#

if you just want to import something, plater is ideal

analog field
#

ok , with default ui we dont see poisons on nameplate, but with plater we see them. Is there a way to hide them on plater?

nova aspen
#

in the buff tracking section, you can add debuffs to the blacklist, but yesterday it was bugged and not working for me

#

ueah they said in midnight we won t be able to blackilist

#

that's why i am asking

nova aspen
#

ohh

#

then not sure there lol

weary stump
#

I just use vanilla ui and no plater like a psychopath

subtle tundra
#

meow

nova aspen
#

i will have to use something else then

#

cuz the 20 debuffs that sin applies will get annoying on 20 nameplates

in a pack

i guess it will be fixed by midnight in some way or another

#

Otherwise I would just use them

weary stump
#

I just have my cp and character portrait near my action bar to see it, formerly used the class weakaura for it though

#

But enemy plates all I care about seeing is who I need to kick or stun nearby (I also don't do super high keys though, only 10-12s)

#

Between that and mythic raid I never had an issue with vanilla setup

paper sail
#

Also this is driving me nuts, I can't see dmg from Kingsbane ticking as in no SCT for it, am I just fucked up or is it like that?

is there any way to disable the standart Character window?

scarlet orbit
#

I think sct stands for scrolling combat text but that kind of stuff is for now not possible anymore

jade abyss
#

there is no need to track spatter anymore?

runic hinge
#

No. It’ll just always be up when you envenom or kb

#

Which tbh is my favorite change of the patch I think

#

Having to muti in aoe felt super bad. Especially cause it was so often

wooden basin
#

Yeah no, mutilating in AoE was complete dog shit

#

Assa got such a QoL glow up

severe meadow
#

For the most part, mark is still dookie

#

If not worse than before

runic hinge
#

I haven’t touched deathstalker and probably won’t unless it’s decently far ahead

severe meadow
#

I want to say it’s slightly behind FB anyway

#

But both did fairly dog shit damage for me last night xd

#

FB felt good in m+

runic hinge
#

Yeah Assa probably undertuned rn but it’s prepatch what can you do

severe meadow
#

We did get a little buff but caustic got shot understandably

#

It was doing a lot of damage in the tests I did

wooden basin
#

DS is fried for sure

#

FB feels better in almost every scenario

Was averaging 12-14th as assa, played only FB

This was the overall for it

wicked valve
#

Call me crazy but id rather underperform in pre patch so we get buffs going into Midnight. Overperfoming specs gonna be sad when they get the nerf hammer in a few weeks.

severe meadow
#

Boss damage was a bit low but cleave felt pretty good with the new CT

wicked valve
#

Yeah! Spreading bleeds with CT outside of stealth was amazing. And its only 60 energy. I could have sworn it started at 100

obsidian thorn
#

Everyone having fun with assassination so far? I am going to log in and try it out during lunch

severe meadow
#

I like how it plays but it’s just not doing that much damage atm but we got a lot of tuning to go

obsidian thorn
#

Yeah I saw that above

#

If the over tuned get nerfed maybe more in line?

severe meadow
obsidian thorn
#

Regardless of if we get buffed

severe meadow

This was Araz

#

100 parse and at the bottom xd

obsidian thorn
#

Oh damn

severe meadow
#

Granted there was only like, 25ish parses on it

#

I’m kinda dog shit at sub for the most part but it was doing more damage

obsidian thorn
#

I just like dots 😭

severe meadow

And with the stat squish I’m not sure how important their haste breakpoints are / other stats but I am not geared for sub

wind totem
#

What do we sacrifice to get caustic spatter in the ST build?

amber maple
#

I have a dumb question, but I am considering rogue for midnight as a main tbh

#

In the notes on icyveins it says because of cut to the chase we never manually cast slice and dice

jaunty notch
#

yo, can we remove our poison debuff from nameplate ?

#

or blizzard does not allow it ?

amber maple
#

So does that mean not even to "start" slice and dice?

royal lantern
#

holy fuck the blizzard dmg meter is so giga broken

#

shit doesnt work at all

amber maple
#

Oh, so do we even put it on our action bar or just leave it in the spellbook if it is effectively passive?

#

I am coming from feral druid tbh

normal mist
amber maple
#

Seems like a weird thing to not prune though

#

Maybe they had in their mind a build where someone didnt take cut to the chase

royal lantern
#

SnD is literally one the fabled "muh cLaSs FaNtAsY" things

#

it exists because somebody at blizz HQ has a boner for it

#

doesnt matter that its basically pointless and fully passive

severe meadow
#

Anyway no just take it off your bar

jaunty notch
amber maple
#

How do we know what poisons to use?

severe meadow
#

Always deadly

amber maple
#

Oh ok

haughty flicker

idek how you have them

severe meadow
#

Atrophic 9 times out of 10

normal mist
severe meadow
#

Watch yourself

wind totem
amber maple
#

This is gonna sound weird but follow my logic: if people find curse of weakness (slower attack speed) and curse of tongues (slower casting speed) and/or the Hellcaller combination (curse of the satyr) then does this mean for nonlethal we should use numbing poison?

Especially because now there's talents for warlocks to make their curses aoe

wind totem
amber maple
#

I was maining warlock demonology all of season 3 so I may have some misperceptions

Warlocks don’t use that shit anyway

For healing reduction

solar wyvern
#

Will be fixed im sure

haughty flicker
#

im sure plater will fix it eventually

#

yeah

amber maple
#

Hmmm. šŸ¤” so I guess we don't use the reduce healing poison for stuff like priory either?

severe meadow
#

The only time I’ve gotten good use from it was from the mini boss in that one dungeon

solar wyvern
severe meadow

Right before last boss

#

Wound is quite a loss

#

As is instant

I usually just throw on crippling ngl

Ye wound was only good there for a second

#

And you’d swap back

amber maple
#

My rogue is like 35 šŸ™ˆ

severe meadow
#

Amplifying poison

wooden basin
#

Amplifying poison and dragon tempered blades

#

The latter lets you use 2 types of each poisons

amber maple
#

I read about amplifying poison on icy veins

severe meadow
#

DTB lets you use a second lethal and non lethal poison

#

So you’d have 4

solar wyvern
jaunty notch
amber maple
#

Nice! Dragon Tempered Blades sounds really nice for per encounter customization

jaunty notch
#

but I get your point

solar wyvern
#

But youre level 35 so stick with deadly poison for now

wooden basin
#

DTB is a sick talent

severe meadow
#

How even is assa leveling

#

I feel like it’s buns

solar wyvern
wooden basin
#

I don’t think I’ve leveled (aside from xpac launch) since legion lol

amber maple
#

Well to be fair he used to be level 85

wooden basin
#

Lemix was so goated for that

#

I got everything to 80

amber maple
#

But after a bunch of expansions of level squishes... he got down to 35

#

(I haven't played rogue since legion)

I cant remember which is which

normal mist
amber maple
#

Is slower casting time bad? šŸ¤”

normal mist
#

it isnt

#

its good

#

but you need people with double digit IQ to have their interrupts binded

royal lantern
#

he went over talents and was like

#

"Holy fuck, what did they do with freedom, you cant take it anymore without losing important stuff"

#

"WELL WHO NEEDS AN INTERUPT"

normal mist
#

LOL

haughty flicker
#

ok insanely based though

royal lantern
#

tbf, he is the 1 ret paladin i respect

#

one of the rare people that actually plays the spec, and not just facerolls

amber maple
#

Does anyone have advice on UI clarity for discerning important must interrupt casts?

weary stump
amber maple
#

Apparently when we hit max level we get more talent points in midnight

#

Although I am not sure how many more per side

lethal arrow
#

fortunately we'll prob have updates soon that circumvent their efforts entirely

#

so i'd just wait

gray raven
#

It's currently not possible to get combo points on nameplates, correct?

paper sail
sharp herald
paper sail
#

But I heard someone say there's an alternative that's much more better to set up.

gray raven
lethal arrow
#

might need time for ppl to get stuff figured

gray raven
#

oh you can totally do this with platynator (widgets, power)

#

that's actally far more intuitive than the old plater setting (show resources) which sometimes would just stop working

night delta
gray raven
#

No i meant my combo points on my target - platynator does it perfectly well

night delta
#

Oh

#

Haven't seen the option, no

#

Not that i would use it tbh

gray raven
#

for anyone interested

#

sorry if its been asked before, any efficient way to track how many targets are missing garrote/rupture without having to look at the plates? talking when theres a lot of targets thanks!

you'll know that AT LEAST you can count to 5

#

Should we trust sims at all right now?

#

Ran top gear and changed around everything it said. I'm sitting at 39%(416) haste lol

amber maple
#

Honestly I never used add ons before, really. But I am realizing as I push higher keys why people use them. I am not sure if the UI presentation has changed over time, if the game play has changed significantly, or if I am just older/slower/dumber but it seems like it used to be kind of clear/easy to tell really important monsters to interrupt and now its all jumbled together in a big mess and its hard to pin point the right guy

lime dune
#

Can people enlighten me on our current raid dps, im going into a run with the guild tonight and tus i had a slight stroke over the dps number.

balmy condor
#

Idk, would assume that’s some addon putting it there

proven jasper
#

gotta be

balmy condor
#

You can’t track trinkets using the cooldown manager

#

So whatever you’re using, it’s putting it there

open venture
#

well I only have better Cooldown manager, narcissus, Wago app, clique, Details and bigwigs, plater and simc active

#

can't find the option in Better Cooldown manager

balmy condor
#

Yeh idk, I don’t use better cooldown manager, but I would assume it’s in there somewhere

lean plover
#

its bcdm

#

i had the same issue

#

just /bcdm and theres a trinket section

open venture
#

thanks @lean plover fixed it

amber maple
#

Does anyone play both feral and assassination and do they feel pretty similar/have a similar overlap is the general gameplay experience?

weary stump
#

How dare you compare us to the cat people

amber maple
#

I am the cat people

#

But I wanna know if I will have a similar gameplay loop

proven jasper
#

my friend who plays feral says it feels damn smooth

weary stump
proven jasper
#

cant really make any comparisons though

severe meadow
amber maple
#

Thats fair, and feral does feel smooth based on testing I did last night

#

Its weird that assassination rogue doesnt seem to have a combo point AoE finisher, only builder

proven jasper
#

well we used to

#

But i think ct makes more sense how it is now

weary stump
amber maple
#

For some reason I thought pandemic didnt exist anymore but it seems like it is still a thing and I am not sure if the base cooldown manager helps with knowing when to refresh/track pandemic timers

rare moss
royal lantern
#

the entire raid had the sigil debuff from soulhunters for the rest of the raid

#

including people that where not even inside the raid at that moment

#

and the sigil colors changed randomly

amber maple
#

Wait, no, I think I confused snapshotting and pandemic

#

šŸ¤”

rare moss
#

For feral the icons change slightly for rake and rip when tigers fury is active

#

Same with improved garrote

jolly stirrup

@severe meadow KEKWiggle

#

so shiv is a gonner

#

apart from soothe effects i guess

jolly stirrup
#

exotic hazel
#

I feel like they just forgot Improved Garrote existed when they made all the 'no stealth required' changes

#

I keep forgetting to use it šŸ˜‚

torn dome
#

save for DM no?

exotic hazel
#

Yeah that's the correct thing to do

#

I just forget peeposhrug

torn dome
#

so happy envenom now applies CS

#

goign to take some unlearning of pressing mut here and there

exotic hazel
#

There's also some extra min-maxing with refreshing Improved Garrote within the first 6 sec iirc

#

It feels like not using improved garrote outside of your opener as a pretty minor DPS loss overall, but I may be completely wrong šŸ˜‚

night delta
exotic hazel
night delta
#

doubt doing this over the optimal order changes much tbh

#

as long as you keep up env for KB and KB within 2 GCDs of DM you're fine

exotic hazel
#

Well given the Rotation Highlight helper thingy is like a 5% loss, I can only imagine a part of that is the lack of using Vanish for the improved garrote

#

So not using the improved garrote must equate to <5% loss

night delta
#

is the rotation helper a 5% loss, or the Rotation assist button a 5% loss ?

exotic hazel
#

The One Button is a huge extra 1% loss apparently šŸ˜‚

#

(In ST)

night delta
#

what +25% GCD does to a resource-locked spec

exotic hazel
#

Yeah šŸ˜‚ Not sure if that's just accurate for Pre-Patch and the numbers will differ in Midnight with our Apex Talents thrown in

night delta
#

Yeah, Implacable is quite a decent amount of energy, so you're less likely to run into trouble with it

#

heck, I'm in ilvl 80 character boost gear with godawful haste and crit

#

and I'm already just barely feeling problems with my combo / energy

exotic hazel
#

Having played the Beta I can say it's a lot smoother

night delta
#

In my experience, there not much margin for smoothness already imo

#

have never had a "oh shit" moment with my energy or combo points while dummying

#

and I was counting in my head every 5 envs to let it fall off

#

taking the good habits

exotic hazel
#

Honestly the only improvement I'd hoped for that they missed was if they just binned Thistle Tea and shifted some more regen into the Apex or Venomous Wounds

night delta
#

Thistle is a good safety net when the game starves you of combo and blindside procs when you need to refresh rupt

#

that was my experience of it

exotic hazel
#

It's good when it's got charges

#

When it's out, it feels shit šŸ˜‚

#

I'd rather have more consistent regen than the spikes

#

Also when a tea procs as you kill the mob - sadness

amber maple
#

Is this spec pretty easy for a beginner?

#

I haven't played a rogue in 10 years or more

thin widget
#

is there a way to create pandemic indicators on the CD manager?

night delta
amber maple
#

Which is the most n00blord baby brain rogue spec?

proven jasper
#

assa is probably the easiest of the rogue specs

night delta
#

there's a few things involved and it's not a nobrainer whack-a-proc spec

#

but it's not that hard

proven jasper
#

Sub is pretty simple now as well

exotic hazel
proven jasper
#

yeah lmao

amber maple
#

I dont even know what a sub rogue is

#

Like I know it exists but I have no idea what their class fantasy is or what they do

night delta
#

though the pandemic timings for rupture is scuffed

#

it flashes when a 5CP rupt would pandemic iirc

royal lantern
night delta
#

doesn't take into account your actual combo points

amber maple
#

Like if you were generally describing things you'd be like "oh assassination is a dot spec with maintaining bleeds and poisons" and outlaw.. is.. fuck idk "if you wanna be a pirate/swashbuckler" but how do you even describe sub rogue

Sub is the ninja spec

mut again / garrote if it is in pandemic

buoyant herald
#

Do it again

short sparrow
#

cool, thanks

buoyant herald
#

Better to potentially waste one CP than definitely not proc your coin

night delta
#

the goal is to get to minimum 5 cp for your finishers

#

always

short sparrow
#

wasn't sure if there was a more efficient way to get CP for finisher, such as Shiv. given that resource management is the name of the game, i thought savings however small could be big

#

but i've just been hitting muti again out of habit, so i'm glad it's the right thing to do

night delta
#

you don't really care much about going over 7 cp

short sparrow
#

its more the 20 energy save for shiv over muti i guess

balmy condor
#

to be fair, resource management is the name of the game, but the game doesn't exist

haughty flicker
night delta
#

so even then it'd still be inefficient

amber maple
night delta
#

and potentially skip on a potential 7cp finisher for a 5cp one

balmy condor
royal lantern
short sparrow
#

That is true, assuming there's not bigger savings over time. I guess 20 energy is quickly recouped anyway. Thanks for entertaining my thoughts anyway

amber maple
#

Idk though space ninja does sound cool... should I actually main sub?

So what's everyone's hot take on deathstalker vs coinflipper? I love asa but I can't stand how FB looks with the coins, and how it has 0 impact on my gameplay decisions. Enlighten me!

fatebound doesnt have deathstalkers mark so its an automatic win for me

Fatebound : Passively boring.
Deathstalker : Actively tiring

Deathstalker basically puts a leash on you with Mark

Is that an addon or a WA?

Sensei's Resource Bars is fine too

balmy condor
#

depending on the fight time it's actually worth it to just rip vanish on cd

#

and desync it from deathmark

#

but that's a weird one

#

razor wire makes the garrote timers very strange

crisp sluice
#

ty bro, I usually vanish to get 2nd improved garrote off during deathmark window right before it expires

#

is that not worth

#

like before DM expires

balmy condor
#

well you double garrote from the pull

crisp sluice
#

yea

balmy condor
#

so you have like 32 seconds of garrote

#

it lasts your entire deathmark window, and then some extra on top of that

#

without vanishing

#

so like either you rip vanish at like 0:35

#

in the middle of nowhere

#

and get extra uptime on the garrotes, for another 30ish seconds of imp gar

#

or you hold for 2min deathmark, and lose a vanish cast

#

but you're only getting 100% extra garrote damage for 16 seconds, while you're getting 32 seconds of garrote from the vanish

#

so it's like 1.5x the value

#

to hold for a dm

#

not 2x

crisp sluice

got it got it that helps a lot. probably just gonna slam it on cd

Should be able to change the colour in general, just not based on anything ingame (like if a buff is up or if the mob is dangerous etc)

Is the bridge to Dimmy bugged for anyone?

latent kernel
#

I keep seeing comments regarding assassination being energy starved but it really does not feel that bad, maybe a little bit in ST, but aoe basically feels the same

#

People have to be doing something wrong

zenith cedar
#

spec has historically been energy starved and smart use of pooling and resources was a skill-differentiator. Apparently they are bringing that back when we have apex talents, it's a good thing. It's a design feature not a flaw

latent kernel
#

Well yeah I know, I’m just saying based on what I’ve read in comment sections on Reddit and videos, people are making it sound like you’re sitting on empty an entire fight

#

And then I went and played it

#

And I have like no downtime lol

Yeah i wouldn't read too much into reddit or YTers lol

Personally finding that the cd manager essentially tracks everything I would need to see

There’s just a decent amount of bloat abilities that you could fall victim to tracking that don’t rlly do anything

Blizzard added like everything under the sun for tracking in the CD manager

hey guys, how are we removing the tracking of debuffs like poisons on our targets

marsh fjord
#

i dont think you can blacklist stuff

royal hazel
#

the game doesnt seem to response to plater blacklist/manual debuff tracklist

marsh fjord
#

but im not to sure

royal hazel
#

i just want to see garrote and rupture

#

šŸ™

marsh fjord
#

Yeah same bro. its a fucking mess

balmy condor
#

uninstall plater

#

you can't blacklist or manual debuff track anymore

#

it's old shit from plater

#

base game only tracks gar, rup, cds, and deathstalker

royal hazel
#

icic, some how i see poisons

balmy condor
#

yes

#

cause plater is shit lmaao

royal hazel
#

but i like jundies

balmy condor
#

plater just straight up doesn't work

royal hazel

thank you thought

#

gg go next

bye plater

platynator exists

might be what you're looking for

fewer bells and whistles though iirc

any way to remove combo points from playnator

and i would like to colour code mobs for M+

balmy condor

Playnator shows cps on target frames? Yes pls

balmy condor

it can

gray raven
buoyant herald
#

Yeah his profile for platynator is nice, pretty familiar

haughty flicker
#

there are very restrictive categories you can recolor stuff as

#

but its not too bad

balmy condor
#

it's like really weird categories

gray raven
#

I'm not sure about the backend critera but he's got the same colors as per the last 4-5 seasons all attached to high hp mobs, danger casters, etc

spice surge
#

You can colour based on 3 things:

  • lieutenant mobs
  • mobs with mana
  • mobs without mana
#

Can't do anything based on a specific mob name or anything like that

gray raven
#

not being able to change the names is such a big L

#

the RP names that biz uses are terrible

Because you don’t need it

so better to see poisen up

balmy condor

No

Literally irrelevant

outer kernel

if i play for example councel fights?

balmy condor
#

Then you press fok

Fok applies poison

No problems

And if you don’t press fok

You press ct

And ct applies poisons

Struggling

blazing totem
#

personally it triggers my OCD because I was so used to "I dont see poisons on enemy = I dont have poisons up"

#

so I keep checking my buffs

#

lmao

#

but not that it actually impacts gameplay, it just cluttered the plates

jolly stirrup
#

Damn thats a fat nerf

#

Honestly needed tho right? They did so much damage

#

Our DKs blasted so much damage yesterday

golden loom
#

Is that a hotfix for prepatch?

jolly stirrup
#

Ye

#

Also Blizzard did an "Emergency Maintenance" yesterday which cut our raid 30minutes short. Anyone know what that was about?

golden loom
#

makes sense, I tried unholy on first boss yesterday, just randomly pressing buttons I did more damage than the rank 1 frost dk log garf

balmy condor
#

At least I think so

jolly stirrup

people said dungeons were dropping lvl 90 items, maybe that

literally just stack UDKs

tho it is pushover anyways

We struggled on Dimmy, but tbf we reached P2 almost every pull, but had no idea how to play it properly kekdog certain we kill on Monday

need a way to reliably know if i can stop using CT other than counting lol

yeah that is a decent proxy, not exactly what I need though

Probably your best bet rn

Would wait for further changes before I set up an entirely new addon, but thats just me

Ive heard some people using jundies, but idk what exactly that looks like rn

zenith cedar
#

Oh it can show buffs

#

sick ok

forest onyx
#

Has the assassination spec really become D tier? Our raid DPS is terrible..

golden loom
#

plater tracking every poison and bleed makes it un-useable

jundies is just a plater profile .. no?

zenith cedar
golden loom
zenith cedar
#

my plater is only tracking rupture garrote and caustic idk

lavish hazel
#

I cannot filter on any buffs rn

jolly stirrup
#

At this point just use basic nameplates no? Its not bad and I almost got used to it already

#

Only thing I need to see better is when and what to kick, but also thats just a matter of time

golden loom
#

well unless they have updated it since yesterday I don't see how it would be fixed hmm

zenith cedar
#

update i may be stupid

#

i didnt have poisons attatched when i tested it sadge

golden loom
grim jay
zenith cedar
#

just dont run poisons

golden loom
#

yeah but it also tracks doomblade

#

cant be having that

zenith cedar
#

does CT spread doomblade -- nope

#

does anyone know if CT will always prio copying bleeds onto targets without them? seems to work that way from what I can tell

grim jay
#

For spreading logic

#

With the condition that ct hits

royal hazel
#

ive been testing in M+ i find Deathstalker does a lot more damage than fatebound

zenith cedar
#

what key levels

royal hazel
#

18s

#

17s and 18s

zenith cedar
#

nice -- how much more if you had to put a % to it?

royal hazel
#

like double

zenith cedar
#

oh shit forreal -- I havent tried deathstalker yet hm

royal hazel
#

100%

#

on test dummies with fatebound i do hmm 45k?

#

using DS its 100K+

#

my understanding is fatebound is better single target and thats been the bigget issue for rogue in high keys

#

but damn overall should be similiar

amber maple
#

I got my rogue to 69

#

Leveling isnt bad at all

#

Way better than when I tried in Wrath and other early expansions

#

But I have noticed that it seems like simply existing near a mob unstealths me and I dont seem to have that issue on my feral druid

royal hazel
#

i need to level another rogue for splits , any advice?

amber maple
#

I dont know if my auto attacks are automatically going off once I get in range or what

jolly stirrup
amber maple
#

Makes sense

zenith cedar
#

Has anyone tested the difference between casting two improved garrotes before we spread in M+ vs one?

zenith cedar
jolly stirrup
#

Depending on the lvl of key, the pack dies faster than your imp garrote runs out

zenith cedar
#

It was fairly common in older iterations of assasination

#

so I wouldn't be surprised if its something to consider now with the ease of spreading it

#

basically something like
garrote --> garrote --> rupture --> CT --> CT --> Envenom

#

into either more CT or FOK depending on what the pack size is

jolly stirrup
#

You don't need to cast more garrotes or ruptures on the same target as it doesnt spread it like that anymore. Press Garrote out of stealth, use CT to spread and generate CP, use rupture, use CT until everything has bleed, FOK

#

Thats how I do it

zenith cedar
#

Not sure you understand what I'm trying to say

jolly stirrup
#

Otherwise check AOE opener on wowhead

jolly stirrup
#

Ok nvm

zenith cedar
#

Stealth --> Imp Garrote 1 (24 seconds) --> Imp Garrote 2 (32 seconds) --> Rupture --> CT CT --> Env. Means you are getting an extra 8 seconds of improved garrote on every target hit by CT. Which is 50% more damage

jolly stirrup
#

Ignore what I said

#

I just checked AoE opener myself and realised I was wrong ^^

#

Mbmb spreading misinformation

zenith cedar
#

The other thing you would do with that global is a Mutilate, I have a hard time believing a mutilate is going to be higher value than spreading +8sec of imp garrote across a ton of targets but I am not a theory crafter/haven't researched this at all

jolly stirrup
#

Ye like I said I was wrong

zenith cedar
#

I mean you might be right I'm asking a question really

#

Oh I was right actually nvm lol

jolly stirrup
#

Ye

#

I checked Wowhead myself kek

zenith cedar
#

One thing I plan to do this expansion is roll whatever DPS is the best simming one button character for when I want to be a lazy fuck. Sin looking pretty good tbh at ~20% within perfect

royal hazel
#

i do this usually, garrote --> garrote --> rupture --> CT --> CT --> Envenom

zenith cedar
#

yeah that is correct except you wanna pop CDs before CT apparnetly if you have them

royal hazel
#

but what i dont like is we spec into only 1/2 scent of blood

#

hmm

#

i evenom before cd

zenith cedar
#

p sure you wanna pop trinkys pots into cds before sending any CP outside of that first rupture

#

otherwise your first caustic splatter is unbuffed

royal hazel
#

true

#

but doesnt it buff kingsbane having an evenom out

#

prepatch apparently we evenom before kingsbane

#

but midnight we dont

zenith cedar
#

yeah i saw that in the notes -- wonder if it applies to both aoe and st

royal hazel
#

hmm good point

#

do you think its worth sending 4 cts

#

for scent of blood

#

20%

#

agi

#

or just cap out at 10%

#

and use fok as a generator in aoe

zenith cedar
#

i think the main value of casting CT is getting high duration bleeds onto other targets, scent of blood is a bonus but probably not the main reason you want to spread bleeds

#

more bleeds == more energy via venemous wounds, aslthough i just saw they nerfed that to have diminishing returns when was that

royal hazel
#

dimishing returns beyond the first target

#

if the current in-game description is up-to-date

zenith cedar
#

I think you bring up a good point if you have max scent of blood is it worth it to spread CT more

royal hazel
#

typically we spread to max scent of blood

#

anything extra is "ok" but not really worth

#

and if energy is an issue by design

#

ct uses more energy than fokj

zenith cedar
#

yeah

royal hazel
#

not sure tbh

zenith cedar
#

will take sims realistically

royal hazel
#

since we dont commit to scent of blood i dont think its worth spending 4 cts

#

but i am conflicted

#

yes you're right

#

time will tell (sims)

#

this is kind of how it would look garr garr rupture ct ct dm king envenom ct ct

zenith cedar
#

thats pretty much what iv'e been doing in keys

royal hazel
#

at that point u vanish or apply garrote and rupture again

zenith cedar
#

I think you DM before CT no?

royal hazel
#

*evenom first

#

Dm provides buff 10%

#

so maybe

#

i would rather my bleeds out

zenith cedar
#

just looking at wowhead guide its suggesting G -> G -> Rup -> DM -> KB -> CT / FoK spam

royal hazel
#

is 1-2 seconds with no bleeds to benefit from DM the play

#

if we follow wowhead

#

only primary target has bleeds when we push DM

#

2 globals later 2 more targets have bleeds

#

aand so on

#

i think i realise the reason, we cap our combo points early if we send CT and hold evenom before cds

#

and also waste the combo points

amber maple
#

I find myself low on energy a lot as im leveling

#

Does that get better at max level with good gear?

#

Or is this just slower and less spammy than feral?

normal mist
#

Slower

#

Being max level with all your talents helps a bit

#

Gear changes nothing

#

I mean crit makes you feel good when you get extra cps on your mutilates/fok

#

But if your question is: will haste fix this? No, it won't.

Don't know the exact number ATM I know it is non existent

I figured it would be that.

Sorta dumb really as it doesn’t effect pooling but i guess they didn’t wanna make rupture sniping the strat for max damage with the slower regen
