Kingsbane doesn’t do enough damage to justify that

#

No shiv anymore either

#

On top of that, puzzle box is the only decent on-use

#

Next best alternative to puzzle box is playing double passives

#

So I think it’s pretty bleak for double on use

jolly stirrup
#

Whispyr idk if I asked you this before, what's your take on RTWF, should the EU guilds have 24 hours after US guild finishes? Or you think it's fair, because they get to "copy" tactics

jolly stirrup

I think we actually will be see a buff for rogues next week. Dont know how much and on what, but blizzard do be crazy with seeing specs not being used in RTWF. They could fuck it up and buff CT to do more dmg hahaha

strange onyx
# jolly stirrup Shoot

Its fair. In a perfect world I wish the race was on a tournament where anyone can try for world first and buy gear. At this point the race is so exclusive due to splits

jolly stirrup
#

I think splits should just not be used and the guilds should work with what all have available

strange onyx

Mhm

# jolly stirrup Whispyr idk if I asked you this before, what's your take on RTWF, should the EU ...

The thing is that it’s not really just “NA gets an extra day reeee”, because most of the time NA servers dont even come up till later. Them coming up at 11am PDT is crazy actually, there’s been a ton of mythic raids that have opened at like 3-4pm PDT or 6pm for the east coast. More often than not it’s also pretty easy for EU to just yoink all the early boss Strats and know all the damage checks and overlaps and pre-plan, which saves a ton of time. Not to mention all the bugs that NA has to beta test first garf_sit

#

I dont think the EU disadvantage is really all that big

jolly stirrup
balmy condor
#

NA starts earlier but has to deal with some bullshit

#

EU gets to skip a lot of bullshit but starts later

jolly stirrup
#

So you are basically quoting Thanos

balmy condor
#

Depends on the race tbh

#

Like there’s been tiers where liquid just sits there at a boss and gets hardstuck and has to wait for blizzard to fix

#

And then there’s ones where it’s smooth

#

There’s also been tiers where they’re progging too fast and blizzard emergency hotfix buffs a boss by like 300%

#

Like they did with paladins kinda

tall spindle
#

Hi I pref to play Assa, but I have a lot more dmg on sub (so I'm playing it), is it normal or with equivalent gear and skill they can have equal dmg?

rugged basalt
#

I only have tww as a reference. How’s the pacing for RWF been this time around?

mighty rapids
#

First tier is 100x easier so far it seems

balmy condor
#

I think it was maybe nerubar kyveza, or some other damage check boss, they deadass just fucking added 20% hp to a boss

mighty rapids
#

Ansurek is one of teh hardest bosses they ever did

balmy condor
#

In the middle of prog

balmy condor
mighty rapids
#

But its not last boss yet unlikely midnight falls is on that level tho

rugged basalt
#

Ansurek was so much fun it took me 85 pulls to aotc
We were also playing with a healer that didn’t know mechs so they were dead on first bounce

strange onyx
#

I hated Ansurek

#

Never playing warrior again

jolly stirrup
#

When does next raid open?

Maybe everything is intentional with addon shit too

jolly stirrup
#

Ah so Wednesday for EU, Tuesday for US

strange onyx
#

Remove phase 2 and it is a good fight

rugged basalt
#

That was why I felt m+ being undertuned made sense

#

I actually liked the final bosses every season so far

#

But now there’s 3 final bosses

strange onyx
#

Gallywix and Dimensius was great

Whispyr can take you

#

If EU I would take you

rugged basalt
#

I’m chilling for this season, I found a guild from pugs last season, but they do like early morning raids

#

I can’t wait to be out of EU so I have low ping though, this feels like my best season thus far

strange onyx
#

Wtf be nice to EU

rugged basalt
#

No I like it here

#

I don’t like 160 ping

strange onyx
#

Stop playing on the burger king server

rugged basalt
#

EU doesn’t have a moon guard

We have Argent Dawn

Hej, friend?

Hejhej

strange onyx
#

Your gear is garbanzo

dire smelt
#

this was last week tho

strange onyx
#

You can compare us two

dire smelt
#

yeah but i'm not really skilled at analysing logs thats why I posted mine just to see if anyone could identify something I can't also if I wanted to compare logs wouldn't I just pull up rank 1 parse which is what I usually do I and I just compare the rotation looking at cast timeline

unreal fern
#

u dont saw exceptionally bad parse yet

#

and be happy with ur

oak ember
#

So no rogues were used in rwf besides loot security on a dagger?

#

Buffs inc yeah? :D

unreal fern
#

There wont be any more tunning this tier or at least beofre rwf ends right?

#

How are yall running assa on alleria? Sub felt way better for p1 at least, obv cleaving slimes more but feel like dm/kb comes up too late for 3rd mini then im waiting til p2 start

unreal fern
#

u dont use dm on 3rd only kb

near aspen
#

Fair, will have to try, would feel giga shit if no kb for lust once sim up but will try it out

plain thistle
#

did 1 burst p2 and saved for the start of p3 with lust

#

that way I got 2 burst in the last phase, but that will probably change with better gear and faster kills

rugged basalt
#

I think I’d have to also use non potted dm until p3

#

Well one use in p1

near aspen
#

Okok, I’ll mess around w it more n see what I get, ty guys

frosty cedar
#

blasting on alleria with assassination

#

It's good

strange onyx
#

No it is a bit w/e

rugged basalt
#

What’s the hp goal for alleria going into p3?

#

I didn’t get to prog past p2 last week

frosty cedar
#

Like 60-65% when she usually goes I think?

near aspen
rugged basalt
#

Okay so nothing too different

frosty cedar
#

Got to kind of wing it. For me in P2 I had DM KB up shortly before end of phase and I just used KB to have DM KB for bloodlust

#

If you want 2 uses of deathmark in P3 you must use deathnark at start of p3

near aspen
#

Yall lust end of p2 or start?

frosty cedar
#

Start of p3

near aspen
#

Got it, ty

#

Idrky but we were lusting start of p2

frosty cedar
#

That seems strange

#

I mean P2 is hardest phase right

#

So if you have dmg anyway maybe you lusting to get through P2 ASAP

#

It just doesn't really do you any benefit in P3 and idk could throw your cooldowns out of whack

mighty rapids
#

Timer for P3 was super tight last week had to lust to be able to kill it

#

Prolly not so much this week

frosty cedar
#

Definitely

strange onyx
frosty cedar
#

Easiest for noobs to fuck up BC they didn't watch the guide lmao

latent kernel
#

So if you get a bunch of mechanics during crown first phase and have to run out your parse is jusr gonna be ass right

rugged basalt
#

Most of voidspire is doable by just reading mythictrap even KEK

latent kernel
#

I feel like if you don’t get. A good split on adds with the dmg amp you just get screwed

frosty cedar
rugged basalt
#

Is the strat in p1 to go for d then either m or v, or split it after killing m? I saw people do multiple things

frosty cedar
#

Tbh you can kind of do what you like

rugged basalt
#

It seems flexible

frosty cedar
#

We went right middle left

#

Some people prefer middle first

#

Bc of the interrupt

strange onyx
rugged basalt
#

One group did dmv bc of the interrupts and easier to split arrows on other two

rugged basalt

#

Goats

rugged basalt
#

Last I saw they got to 6/7n idk if they cleared alleria

frosty cedar
#

I mean for normal I don't think you need to know any mechanics at all

#

U just hit boss as they appear

dry cradle
#

Eh for Alleria you do

rugged basalt
#

Oh that was day 1 I just found it funny

dire smelt
#

forgive me lord for I have watched ready check pull 😔

#

“Guys this boss…is this..is this tic tac toe? I was never good at this…”

frosty cedar

our raid called it xalatahs tic tac toes

one of my tanks was a little too good at it and kept getting 3 in a row

#

also its noughts and crosses

#

jst saying

I send blind normal every tier

Its a lot more fun

Guys for tricks of the trade, it says "Your next damaging attack and lasting 6 seconds", so it waits to start the 6 seconds until I've used a damaging attack? Does this include auto attack?

I decided to make a macro because I got aggro off the big add in Chimaerus Heroic before lol, so gonna use ToT to avoid that kind of thing happening again

graceful bane
#

It should pop the 6 sec buff the moment you do any damage pretty sure

#

Else it's just a 30 sec buff waiting for first damage instance

viscid spear
wraith knot
#

Right yeah so any damage will make it go off

#

Good cause idk if my auto attacks hit before my mutilate or what after I shadowstep to the big add, I really have no clue, I just try not to die man

!macros

graceful bane
#

There are instances where you can still get smacked once as it activates so be wary of that

wicked valve
#

Can we macro puzzlebox into DM?

graceful bane
#

No

wraith knot

Which is really stupid

graceful bane
#

No reason to

I have it bound seperately

Trickster has that talent that allows the threat diversion to last 1 hour, shame it's Outlaw/Sub only

But it's always the best on any sim I do

It reall sucks, but my other trinkets were hgot garbage

wraith knot
#

Maybe Whispyr is just trolling us secretly

graceful bane
#

I wish he was would make me feel better garf

wraith knot
#

Why doesn't he make us feel better

#

A few lines of code and we'd all be free

viscid spear

#

Can't he just break into Activision blizzard and do some hackerinos on their servers real quick and stealthy

#

"Oh look, this equip trinket is now the best one, how odd!"

graceful bane
#

The moment I saw they announced alg I knew it was coming

#

I was hoping maybe a raid trinket shot it out back but alas

frosty cedar
#

puzzle box is fun bro

#

#1 puzzle box enjoyer

graceful bane
#

It's an interesting trinket but having suffered through all those seasons with it multiple times I don't want to play with it again

he proceeds to Hitman 47 the entire building

#

Me: Did I do that

#

I think I did that

#

Whispyr wrote in blood in the wall "No more questions about puzzle box.."

I won the bis sword from alleria last week, but then realized the only other guy who rolled on it had veteran track when it was an ilvl side grade for me. So I gave it to them.

#

Hey guys, upgraded Garrot is only up for 5 sec?

#

or is my ui buggy? after 5- 6 sec it change to normal garrot

static glacier
#

Yes, that’s correct - upgraded garotte is tied to stealth / subterfuge

normal mist
#

But the garrote will be improved garrote unless you overwrite it

static glacier
#

It’s not permanently avaliable in combat if you’re not afk in stealth

#

And as royal said, the garotte you apply to the mob is empowered for its full duration

subtle tundra
subtle tundra
#

35 pulls with inventing the strat

#

ppl will pull up with better gear and copying the strat

mortal thunder
#

i didnt track it for full duration -.-

subtle tundra
#

what are we talking about

high sundial
#

!up

static glacier
subtle tundra
#

well also its not even the final boss

#

theres 2 more bosses

lethal turtle
subtle tundra
#

do you want me to?

lethal turtle
#

That wasn’t rhetorical

subtle tundra
#

idk if we trolling or not

#

doubt its gonna be over 30 pulls for my guild on alleria tbh

#

but paladins is a hard wall cause of comp

golden loom
#

varas guild went from rank 20 to rank 2k when he quit.

#

that guy on monk was thanos..

subtle tundra
#

yeah quite sad

#

their downfall was inevitable

#

get it?

#

inevitable

#

like thanos said

golden loom
#

I just got chills irl

#

I hate how this renown trinket is better than farmable m+ trinkets gg

#

for both sub and assa..

subtle tundra
#

hate?

#

tf?

#

1 less trinket to farm buddy baka

golden loom
#

but now im still farming

#

for no gain

subtle tundra
#

well

#

log off

#

youre welcom3

golden loom
#

well now thats impossible

nova aspen
#

seemed to be a HAIR better than that trinket

#

ST in the M+ spec OWNS! nice change from last season

I hope I'll not be human playing rogue this season then copium

midnight mist
#

@balmy condor why is assa gapping dragon boss damage for rogue specs on hc, any particular reason

coral ibex
#

assa is better boss damage on literally every boss

midnight mist
#

assa doesnt swap to adds so

sacred oyster
#

specially this VS raid, you can mostly stay focused on the boss

midnight mist
#

like first boss boss damage

golden loom
midnight mist
#

other specs go aoe builds and pad on adds not on boss

#

assa stay on boss

#

so of course its gonna look good on boss damage

#

doesnt mean its even doing better than the other specs tho

sacred oyster
#

why do people insist on assa vs sin lol, we dont need more shame to be called ass in our shorthand.

golden loom
#

assa bossdamage in keys also feels kinda great hmm

coral ibex
#

probably the best execute spec in the game too

haughty flicker
#

assa flows better than sin

coral ibex
#

idk

#

just makes sense to me

#

assa kills bosses

midnight mist
#

i just think

#

if you are going on wcl

#

checking overall boss damage

#

its mega fake

coral ibex
#

no im going boss by boss

midnight mist
#

and doesnt mean anything

#

ok do that and tell me if assa is better boss damage on every boss

sacred oyster
#

someone linked a logs breakdown yesterday that put sin at #1

coral ibex
#

better than what

#

sub and outlaw?

midnight mist
#

other rogue specs

#

yes

sacred oyster
coral ibex
#

yea its gapping on every fight except crown

midnight mist
#

gapping but first boss its not swapping adds, second boss its not swapping adds

#

so these 2 are already fake

coral ibex
#

how is it fake

midnight mist
#

i just told you

golden loom
#

okay but if everyone in the raid is trying to padd on adds, does the boss die slower?

midnight mist
#

its not swapping from boss

#

the other 2 specs are

#

so i cant know

coral ibex
#

yea because sub has cds to send

golden loom
#

time to investigate average boss death time between the specs !

midnight mist
#

anyway im asking about dragon

coral ibex
#

idk why you're discounting damage profiles as reasons to gap on boss damage

sacred oyster
#

i end up swapping on dragons cause dps getting uneven and other people arent bright enough to do that in pugs

midnight mist
#

im not lol

#

its just not what im asking about

coral ibex
#

"fake bc not swapping ads"

midnight mist
#

no

coral ibex
midnight mist
#

i asked why is assa so good on dragon boss damage

#

you answered with assa is gapping overall boss damage

#

which i told ytou means nothing for me since assa doesnt swap to adds

#

on any boss

#

so of course its gonna look higher on overall boss damage

#

which isnt what im asking anyway

coral ibex
#

because it is an execute spec on a fight where other specs talent for burst aoe

midnight mist
#

im asknig about dragon

#

im talkig about rogue spec

#

what are rogue specs talenting to burst aoe

#

on dragon

sacred oyster
#

well. if you really wanna pad numbers, you could SS and maintain bleeds on both bosses

golden loom
#

maybe sub loses boss damage by trying to hold tech a few seconds for add spawns

#

on dragons

#

while assa perma sends

#

also p3 should be better for assa

#

as it cleaves better than sub

coral ibex
#

pretty sure sub is sending black powder into the adds

#

which is not good for boss dam

sacred oyster
#

and SS def saves me tons of DPS loss on the knock backs, you can immed snap back if you are quick and avoid losing dps time

nova aspen
#

long execute phase for dragons and 2 targets in execute

#

also?

sacred oyster
royal lantern
midnight mist
#

maybe they get 2 in hc idk

#

boss in mythic is 2 target all the way tho

sacred oyster
#

i finally got a good group to clear crown normal finally last time, didnt do bad on total

#

im 257~ ilvl

coral ibex
#

thats not a boss dam talent

midnight mist
#

i mean maybe its better on 2 target idk

#

i havent checked

coral ibex
#

yea maybe lol

#

or maybe its for the burst aoe add spawns

golden loom
#

@midnight mist randomly comparing the damage between rank 1 assa log and rank 1 sub log, assa does 62k dps to 1 dragon and 21k to the other, while sub does 66k to 1 and 14k to the other

#

so might just be cleave

sacred oyster
golden loom
#

in p3 you stack them

#

when they are both on the ground

midnight mist
#

and on mythic its perma cleave also

sacred oyster
#

oh? does the rage buff go away? i was so confused when they did that last night, i was worried we was about to die lol

midnight mist
#

the rage buff is 15 yard

#

from center of dragons

#

so

#

its xdd

#

you can litteraly tank them on top of each other

golden loom
#

yeah its just that in p1/p2 of heroic its not possible to get them close

midnight mist
#

melee range is 9 yard i think for comparaison

#

15 yard is minuscule

coral ibex
#

my tanks struggle to get targets close enough to cleave for melee

#

its so frustrating

sacred oyster
#

hmm that would be nice then

midnight mist
#

can be closer

#

:D

#

its stupid

fresh kelp
#

ye

golden loom
#

what the dragons doin

midnight mist
#

blizzard is legit trolling this tier

#

not capping

#

why is there an enrage for boss being too close

fresh kelp
#

very funny it's calculated from center of hitbox

midnight mist
#

if its litteraly impossible to have them to close

fresh kelp
#

and not from edge so they would have to be pixel stacked

royal lantern
royal lantern
coral ibex
#

they'd probably be too close if they got one tanked no?

midnight mist
#

tanked the melee boss

#

whole time

#

facing us

#

like his head

golden loom
#

tail swipe is good

midnight mist
#

on my head

coral ibex
#

very good

midnight mist
#

me when i get parried every 2nd gcd

golden loom
#

its just like in classic, if you get hit by tail swipe you are bad

#

and deserve to be hit

midnight mist
#

anyway

#

you guys convinced me

#

i will play outlaw on dragon

#

ty

haughty flicker
#

outlaw tier pog

golden loom
#

gl zac hope it goes well 🙂

subtle tundra
#

#

my guild went 3 days

fresh kelp
#

ye i mean we did normal + hc splits and are on dragons after our 9hrs

#

the raid is easy

coral ibex
#

yea my guild thinks we'll be on dragons on monday

midnight mist
#

and then every guild in the world

#

outside of echo method liquid

#

#

#

hell yeah buddy

royal lantern
coral ibex
#

there's no way we get substantive adjustments

golden loom
#

I think they are nuking everything lowkey

coral ibex
#

oh yea mm hunter is getting executed

#

but i dont think rogue is getting touched at all

subtle tundra
#

if they are nuking the op specs then yeah paladins are living for 6 weeks straight for every guild

midnight mist
#

me when i get on paladin, and we have 2 hunter instead of 5, one mist weaver instead of 3, 7 melee instead of 1 and no addon that tells my healer which guy to dispell

subtle tundra
#

🥱

golden loom
#

if rogue was not played on 6/7 bosses and they do not emergency hotfix giga buff

#

then its joever

subtle tundra

3 rogues

midnight mist
royal lantern
#

what the fuck

coral ibex
#

3 ROGUES??????????

#

bro

fresh kelp
#

this guy's guild is hogging literally all the rogues

coral ibex
#

wtf

midnight mist
#

3 rogues in tihs economy?

coral ibex
#

thats like 4% of all rogues

#

and they're in your guild

golden loom
#

we were 2, but our main DK rerolled to rogue for midnight

fresh kelp
#

imagine you guys could supply 3 guilds worth of rogues

coral ibex
#

i got stuck on mirror rogue duty for splits because literally nobody wanted to roll an alt rogue

royal lantern
golden loom
#

switching things up is based

#

and rogue is goated so cant blame anyone for swapping to this class

fresh kelp
golden loom
#

also with 3x rogues we are giga prepped for tonights +300% dps buff just you wait and see

haughty flicker
#

true

#

rogue buffs just in time to make sure our boy exile sees the inside of march

golden loom
#

prayge free him from outlaw keys

nova aspen
#

at least he was in for dagger boss

frosty cedar
#

big melee buffs tonight boys

royal lantern
#

i dont want buffs

#

i want nerfs

#

watching others suffer is way more fun

plucky ember
#

buffs`?

royal lantern
#

dont do "assa/outlaw all dmg increased by 5%" or crap like that

#

give me "frost mage all dmg reduced by 8%"

#

i want to watch the crying

midnight mist
#

they cant do that

#

cause race

#

:D

#

5% rogue buff is prolly too much for race also

#

wouldnt want them to have to gear other chars

#

after splits are already over

#

cant have that

golden loom
#

nah you are wrong zac

#

make the race interesting

#

slam insane balance changes

wanton spear
#

lets see -15% hunter damage

acoustic yarrow
#

Is buffs coming? Bluepost confirmed?

nova aspen
#

blue post will be today

#

there will be buffs

#

for us? who knows

barren yew
#

Can’t wait to say boom or doom like that other guy taught me

acoustic yarrow
#

So its just speculation for now?

haughty flicker
#

well we know there will be class tuning

#

but we also know it wont be significant

#

they've said both of these things already

#

whether rogue gets anything specifically who knows

#

you forgot the part where they buff black powder damage by 20% for assassination-spec rogues only

coral ibex
#

how would buffing black powder damage for assa work

#

oh

#

yea

primal parrot
#

they should rework kingsbane into a bleed

strange wolf

honestly should they? isnt it beter for a spec to have a burst moment open.

been pushing 12's atm and i prefer having a button to nuke a prio target specificly with kingsbane

I get our existence currently helps a lot with m+ and all but it does feel like it detracts from the bleed/poison thematics a bit

strange wolf
#

it does for sure

#

but theme vs gameplay loop.

weary stump
#

Fair but it would also inversely make us way better at high keys

strange wolf
#

yes it would

weary stump
#

And low keys are already a joke so like, this is fine imo

did envenom tracking get bricked or something

Fair but also, they barely play rogue as is so who are we catering to there lmao

#

We are what 3% of the playerbase at current?

i mean ngl.

that was afflock for ages to

weary stump
#

Yeah but we've been hovering around least played since shadowlands

strange wolf
#

tbf. while i do love me a semantic confo like this. i think its beter if we both agree on one thing. that we have no clue how to balanbce this game 🙂

weary stump

Oh definitely, but I just want them to take risks with rogue at this point rather than just keep us dead in the water for another 5 years

honestly been loving this spec. been playing it for 2 and a half week now.

I love and hate it but it's basically the only thing I play in this game due to being the only class I enjoy garf

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

unfortunately our dh friend is not online otherwise we would have blasted

dire smelt

also my shit went kinda bad my tank died on the first pull but lowk saved it by stalling with evasion and didn't have to reset the pull

ember condor
#

they should make deathmark and kingsbane 45 sec cooldowns sitmadge

royal lantern
#

but why

#

sub is the 90sec spec

ember condor
#

2 minutes feels like shit

dire smelt
#

they should just make it so deathmark and kingsbane jumps to a new target when the target dies

sacred oyster
#

yeah could actually pull good numbers in aoe then lol

golden loom
#

I mean assa in keys is actually great

ember condor
#

45 sec fking pillar of frost feels 10 times better than assa cooldowns even though frost is kinda bad rn

golden loom
#

doing seat on assa compared to sub you actually are useful

coral ibex

word you should definitely go reroll dk bud

sacred oyster
golden loom

assa legit nukes the thanos mobs in the start of seat

wraith knot
iron thorn

this was first pull

coral ibex
#

do people really not understand that 45s cooldowns are tuned to be less impactful per use than 1m or 2m cooldowns

iron thorn

this was first boss

coral ibex

that's why the cd is lower

I only got 2p tho

4p is insane

ember condor

but those 45 sec cooldowns are actually more impactful now

it just does more and more often xD

well sub is kind of an outlier in that it does healer damage outside cds, i dont think frost is like that

iron thorn
#

i think algethar is one of the crazier dungeons for assa

because of the first pull

iron thorn
#

this really is mostly big numbers = fun but i think i enjoy assa the most rn in dungeons

wraith knot
#

I mean honestly I feel pretty good in m+, my dps might be a bit lower too because I put myself on orb catching duty every dungeon lol

#

Feels good to use sprint and shadowsteps to get orbs quick

dire smelt
#

playing assa in lower keys or pulls without a tanky prio target just feels soooo ahhh

#

thats the only issue wid it

wraith knot
#

Yeah I feel way better in m10s compared to when I was doing m0s

dire smelt
#

i dont think lowering the cds is the answer

#

ye literally

#

the higher the keys the better the sepc feels

wraith knot
#

But in raids it feels so weird like

dire smelt
#

it felt so shit before m+ was out

#

m0s was so fkn boring

wraith knot
#

I kinda wish they would just not make us choose between ST and AoE specs, like why even, I don't see the point

#

And I don't wanna explain to guildies and raidleader how rogue should just ST whole raid, then they'll be like "then why bring rogue lololol" prolly

frosty cedar
#

we dont lose much for our raid cleave spec

golden loom
barren basin
#

hey just want to ask im new to assa from sub. from stealth, do you use garrote twice on the same target to apply improved garrote?

wraith knot
#

sets up bleeds
mob dies

dire smelt
#

I hate how cleave in raids is just a bunch of a random shi that dies rly fast where frontloaded kits get to giga pad and u just feel homeless for spending 60 energy on crimson tempest for a pack that will die giga fast anyways

frosty cedar
#

good thing CT does decent damage either way

dire smelt
#

but likw u still gotta press it for the stat pad I think

wraith knot
#

Just make sure it doesn't drop

#

(Right?)

dire smelt
latent kernel
#

in AOE, garrote -> FOK -> rupture -> garrote (pandemic) -> CT (until bleeds spread) -> envenom -> PBOX -> DM -> KB -> normal

#

in ST, just replace FOK and CT with mutilate

dire smelt
#

u can also edge I think u may be able to edge the garrote a bit more after rupture but idk how much it matters

wraith knot
#

I've been wondering about using envenom twice in a row for the 5% increase before cooldowns

frosty cedar
#

above for AOE you just CT until 5+ and then envenom and engage cooldowns

#

but you build with CT when mobs still dont have bleeds

wraith knot
#

Or does that just take too long

latent kernel
#

thats just a general

ember condor
#

should we use envenom on kingsbane targets in aoe? like always?

dire smelt
frosty cedar
#

I dont think it depends on mob count but I could be wrong

dire smelt
#

cuz ive heard this

frosty cedar
#

I believe that was debunked

#

sim bug

dire smelt
#

but I never hear anyone say when it is actually worth

latent kernel
frosty cedar
#

sim was having like, 15% spatter uptime instead of the 80+% we have

latent kernel
#

the main thing is you just want to make sure you have the full agility buff in big pulls from having ruptures applied before you start your CD window

latent kernel
ember condor
#

focus target this focus target that

dire smelt
#

I mean u just focus one target wym

#

I mean it is a lot of setup tho

#

before u can start ur 2 button rotation

frosty cedar
#

i wouldnt say so, you would just CD as normal and continue applying bleeds as a builder after. I don't think you worry about agi buff at all before CDs, you will get it shortly after anyway

#

I could be wrong though

wraith knot
#

But I've fallen in love with this class and spec

#

So fk it

#

I'm tripling down

frosty cedar
#

welcome brother

latent kernel
ember condor
#

at least they could make CT spread bleeds to all in one global

dire smelt
#

holy

#

imagine the single press ct to rule them all

ember condor
#

no you gonna press it 20 times lil bro 😎

wraith knot
#

Lmao imagine it applies bleeds too and that's it, you're done

#

I don't even know if I would enjoy it then

Bruh I swear I've learned something every day since I joined this server 💀 wtf

correct

wraith knot

But then isn't the other talent better?

latent kernel
dire smelt
wraith knot
#

Cause I have noticed I end up with 4 combopoints a lot, I keep thinking "if only"

dire smelt
#

so im lowkey team backshots

frosty cedar
#

I dont think capping before CDS on a mob pack really matters at all, I think for the majority of packs in the majority of keys I would be more concerned that holding anything would result in my prio mob dying before my deathmark is even over

golden loom
#

I dont even envenom before cds in keys

#

you just send garrote fok rupture (maybe garrote) -> puzzle box cds

#

and then start envenom CT

dire smelt
#

thats not good gang

latent kernel
#

im not entirely sure either LOL, im just trying to see if anyone knows, this was just my thinking lol

frosty cedar
dire smelt
#

u wanna envenom before cd

#

u just do more dmg

golden loom
#

in st sure

latent kernel
golden loom
#

in aoe I do not think its worth it

wraith knot
#

I think uwu has a point

golden loom
#

atleast in 10-12s

wraith knot
#

Because like I've been doing that and I feel like I'm wasting too much time

golden loom
#

stuff does not live

coral ibex
#

its already almost time to be farming 12's instead of 10's for crests and gear and vault

#

just so you can actually send cds and not have mobs die halfway thru

frosty cedar
#

if the prio mob will live, envenoming first is better even in aoe but if it wont live, just send it kings

latent kernel
#

@balmy condor in AOE, should you be capping the agility buff before starting your cooldown rotation, or sending cooldowns ASAP and capping it while in CDs?

#

lets just find out here

frosty cedar
#

as you wish

coral ibex
#

pookie is probably asleep

#

its before noon on the west coast

latent kernel
#

@frosty cedar i phrased the question right for what you're saying?

dire smelt
#

idk tho

#

i'll look at some logs on diff dungeons

coral ibex
#

i would assume it depends on target count

frosty cedar
#

i think the question does cover it yes

coral ibex
#

as my #1 damage source in keys rn is garrote

#

so spreading it would intuitively be more damage

latent kernel
coral ibex
#

fatebound

frosty cedar
coral ibex
#

nothing is big enough to warrant ds prio damage

golden loom
golden loom
#

but in the keys you do currently

#

hell nah

latent kernel
frosty cedar
#

I agree with your point

#

if the mob will die too quiickly if you have to do the full normal setup

frosty cedar
golden loom
#

like even first pull of windspire I did the extended opener and the prio adds were almost dead as I was casting puzzlebox ICANT

latent kernel
frosty cedar
#

your going to be spending those globals anyway. kingsbane isn't making your envenom itself particularly more powerful. in your setup you are already sending envenoms when you have the combo points to do so, whilst you are setting up more bleeds on 10 targets first

golden loom
#

in general tho you can kinda just vibe the opener also

latent kernel
golden loom
#

spec does nuke prio targets either way garf

#

anyone have a good cast sequence macro for cringebox?

that I can just macro into DM/blades

oh really?

#

you can't cast sequence it?

latent kernel

you can

golden loom

well that you can do I guess

vivid elm
#

just so I can use one button for it

#

spam it

#

i'm just shit at making macros

#

so I don't know how to do it

golden loom
#

well you can just have it on another bind

and spam DM during the cast

spamming dm during puzzlebox cast doesnt interrupt it
