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
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
Ask for my take aswell
Shoot
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
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
I think splits should just not be used and the guilds should work with what all have available
Its too big of an advantage to have it be an honor system.
Mhm
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 
I dont think the EU disadvantage is really all that big

NA starts earlier but has to deal with some bullshit
EU gets to skip a lot of bullshit but starts later
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
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?
I only have tww as a reference. How’s the pacing for RWF been this time around?
First tier is 100x easier so far it seems
I think it was maybe nerubar kyveza, or some other damage check boss, they deadass just fucking added 20% hp to a boss
Ansurek is one of teh hardest bosses they ever did
In the middle of prog
Very weird with the split shorter raids
But its not last boss yet unlikely midnight falls is on that level tho
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
When does next raid open?
She hated you
Reset
That big bunda bitch
Maybe everything is intentional with addon shit too
Ah so Wednesday for EU, Tuesday for US
Remove phase 2 and it is a good fight
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
Gallywix and Dimensius was great
We also thought that Alnseer was intended to be op so that we would have a reason to do chim every week but that’s not it

Footnote (mmmffg) I’m not talking about mythic since I don’t have exp I mean until like heroic I guess lmfao
Did you kill Chim yet?
No
Did you guys also get farmed by the fear 🙂
The old sim said vet alnseer was better than my champ whatever the fuck, the moment I saw the new sim I 180d
Kicking mobs and dispelling is VERY difficult
Grp 1 kinda stank
I outgrew needing chim at all I think until m 
Is the dispell piss circle thing worse, how
G2 gang
We love you for being a HC Harold
Timing is much tighter
I’d do m if a guild took me
Gang gang
NA or EU?
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
Wtf be nice to EU
Stop playing on the burger king server
EU doesn’t have a moon guard
We have Argent Dawn
it’ll never be the same
quick question i've seen a guildmate of mine with 2 arcanoweave embelish, does it work? or is he dumb?
it work

Hej, friend?
Hejhej
I have an exceptionally bad parse and im wondering if its cuz I died or what idk if anyone can look would appreciate it https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/TnJmpBy3rjQq26bM?fight=32&type=damage-done&source=11
Your gear is garbanzo
this was last week tho
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
u dont saw exceptionally bad parse yet
and be happy with ur

There wont be any more tunning this tier or at least beofre rwf ends right?
lol atleast u have a kill on crown heroic I didn't even do that last week
Should be more tuning Tuesday
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
u dont use dm on 3rd only kb
topped p3 damage 
Fair, will have to try, would feel giga shit if no kb for lust once sim up but will try it out
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
Okok, I’ll mess around w it more n see what I get, ty guys
Used to better with tight p3
No it is a bit w/e
What’s the hp goal for alleria going into p3?
I didn’t get to prog past p2 last week
Like 60-65% when she usually goes I think?
Ye will have to dig into logs, didn’t do any homework on it had my cds all fucked up, felt like ass
Okay so nothing too different
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
Yall lust end of p2 or start?
Start of p3
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
Timer for P3 was super tight last week had to lust to be able to kill it
Prolly not so much this week
Definitely
P2 is the easiest
Easiest for noobs to fuck up BC they didn't watch the guide lmao
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
Most of voidspire is doable by just reading mythictrap even 
I feel like if you don’t get. A good split on adds with the dmg amp you just get screwed
it's possible, I got a silver arrow p1 and still got R1 on our kill last night but anything more than that and your probably giga cooked
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
Tbh you can kind of do what you like
It seems flexible
We fucked it so much on our kill aswell. Made it a 3 target fight
One group did dmv bc of the interrupts and easier to split arrows on other two
just read the dungeon journal 
There was a lobby on week one that strictly restricted to just the journal. Say anything outside it = kick
Goats
Last I saw they got to 6/7n idk if they cleared alleria
what does that even mean lmao
I mean for normal I don't think you need to know any mechanics at all
U just hit boss as they appear
Eh for Alleria you do
No outside information or research, playing purely from what the game gives you

Oh that was day 1 I just found it funny
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…”
our raid called it xalatahs tic tac toes
+2
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
idk what u guys are doing with tic atacs
Xs and Os
I turn my brain off in normal and then join 30 man groups for chaos in week 2
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT
Brit bong
lmao i got socket on every slot
Hex of lee, is that a, Chinese curse?
Boter, Kaas en Eieren or bust!
Curse of ra
Showing of your gear, i didn't get any trinks yet outside champ pb
worldsoul aegis kinda goes hard
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
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
The buff is 30 seconds, you have to actually attack to start the 6 seconds of threat transfer
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
Your damage, yes
!macros
There are instances where you can still get smacked once as it activates so be wary of that
Can we macro puzzlebox into DM?
No
You can but then you gotta press it twice
Which is really stupid
No reason to
I have it bound seperately
Same
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
I wish he was would make me feel better 
flip the "overpowered" switch
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!"
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
"oh my god, it's Whispyr!"

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.."
Don't like puzzlebox? Just play outlaw 🙃
What jerks
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.
You dont need it on bench
Bless
Yeah i mean its clearly piss easy seeing as it only took liquid 35 pulls

Are you not?
I'm one of the most reliable raiders.
As scary as that sounds.
35 pulls for liquid still gonna be 150 for most
Hey guys, upgraded Garrot is only up for 5 sec?
or is my ui buggy? after 5- 6 sec it change to normal garrot
Yes, that’s correct - upgraded garotte is tied to stealth / subterfuge
But the garrote will be improved garrote unless you overwrite it
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
nah paladins is too hard,dont have the comp
not even close buddy
35 pulls with inventing the strat
ppl will pull up with better gear and copying the strat
i didnt track it for full duration -.-
what are we talking about
!up
I think people also underestimate how much easier Blizz made the raid due to no WA
Be sure to link your guilds wowstats
do you want me to?
That wasn’t rhetorical
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
varas guild went from rank 20 to rank 2k when he quit.
that guy on monk was thanos..
yeah quite sad
their downfall was inevitable
get it?
inevitable
like thanos said
I just got chills irl
I hate how this renown trinket is better than farmable m+ trinkets gg
for both sub and assa..
well now thats impossible
i got the plume from delve quest
seemed to be a HAIR better than that trinket

ST in the M+ spec OWNS! nice change from last season
does it or have you not played with humans and cant know
Such a fowl joke

People who play meta classes aren't human
I hope I'll not be human playing rogue this season then 
@balmy condor why is assa gapping dragon boss damage for rogue specs on hc, any particular reason
assa is better boss damage on literally every boss
assa doesnt swap to adds so
specially this VS raid, you can mostly stay focused on the boss
like first boss boss damage
adds are cringe and noob!
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
why do people insist on assa vs sin lol, we dont need more shame to be called ass in our shorthand.
assa bossdamage in keys also feels kinda great 
probably the best execute spec in the game too
assa flows better than sin
i just think
if you are going on wcl
checking overall boss damage
its mega fake
no im going boss by boss
and doesnt mean anything
ok do that and tell me if assa is better boss damage on every boss
someone linked a logs breakdown yesterday that put sin at #1
yea its gapping on every fight except crown
gapping but first boss its not swapping adds, second boss its not swapping adds
so these 2 are already fake
how is it fake
i just told you
okay but if everyone in the raid is trying to padd on adds, does the boss die slower?
yea because sub has cds to send
time to investigate average boss death time between the specs !
anyway im asking about dragon
idk why you're discounting damage profiles as reasons to gap on boss damage
i end up swapping on dragons cause dps getting uneven and other people arent bright enough to do that in pugs
"fake bc not swapping ads"
no

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
because it is an execute spec on a fight where other specs talent for burst aoe
im asknig about dragon
im talkig about rogue spec
what are rogue specs talenting to burst aoe
on dragon
well. if you really wanna pad numbers, you could SS and maintain bleeds on both bosses
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
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
thats also prob a good point, dragons are such an endurance fight
playing another class i gues
only one cd in exec i think
maybe they get 2 in hc idk
boss in mythic is 2 target all the way tho
i finally got a good group to clear crown normal finally last time, didnt do bad on total
im 257~ ilvl
idk man i checked a few top sub logs and they all take the bp talent

thats not a boss dam talent
@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
how fucking close are the tanks tanking those things to be getting cleave?
and on mythic its perma cleave also
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
the rage buff is 15 yard
from center of dragons
so
its xdd
you can litteraly tank them on top of each other
yeah its just that in p1/p2 of heroic its not possible to get them close
hmm that would be nice then
ye
blizzard is legit trolling this tier
not capping
why is there an enrage for boss being too close
very funny it's calculated from center of hitbox
if its litteraly impossible to have them to close
and not from edge so they would have to be pixel stacked
fucking cars?
why is there a 2004 "lmao dragon tail swipe xd"
they'd probably be too close if they got one tanked no?
my tank in hc yesterday
tanked the melee boss
whole time
facing us
like his head
tail swipe is good
on my head
very good
me when i get parried every 2nd gcd
its just like in classic, if you get hit by tail swipe you are bad
and deserve to be hit
outlaw tier pog
gl zac hope it goes well 🙂
your ugly
ye i mean we did normal + hc splits and are on dragons after our 9hrs
the raid is easy
yea my guild thinks we'll be on dragons on monday
and then every guild in the world
outside of echo method liquid
will be stuck on paladin
for 4 weeks
:D
time to learn marksman hunter and mistweaver buddy
i think you will be on my dragon tonight
you dont have a billion class stacks avaible?
sure thing brio
wait actually arent we getting tuning notes today 
your dragon will look like that old woman from spongebob when im done with it
rogue buffs today dw
hells yeah
mortal strike dmg reduced by 5%
slam dmg increased by 50%
developer notes: "we know you all hate slam for 15 years now, but fuck you"
holy shit i can't wait for NO CHANGES TODAY
there's no way we get substantive adjustments
I think they are nuking everything lowkey
oh yea mm hunter is getting executed
but i dont think rogue is getting touched at all
if they are nuking the op specs then yeah paladins are living for 6 weeks straight for every guild
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
🥱
if rogue was not played on 6/7 bosses and they do not emergency hotfix giga buff
then its joever
real guilds have all of those ready
subscribe to gingi's OF for access to sneakauras smile
fr fr
our roster

3 rogues
gl buddy
what the fuck
this guy's guild is hogging literally all the rogues
wtf
3 rogues in tihs economy?
imagine you guys could supply 3 guilds worth of rogues
i got stuck on mirror rogue duty for splits because literally nobody wanted to roll an alt rogue
did that guy get brain damage or smth
switching things up is based
and rogue is goated so cant blame anyone for swapping to this class
we just run without atro on the tiers i dont feel like running a mirror

also with 3x rogues we are giga prepped for tonights +300% dps buff just you wait and see
true
rogue buffs just in time to make sure our boy exile sees the inside of march
free him from outlaw keys
big melee buffs tonight boys
buffs`?
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
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
lets see -15% hunter damage
Is buffs coming? Bluepost confirmed?
Can’t wait to say boom or doom like that other guy taught me
So its just speculation for now?
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
!tricks
hell yea BOOM or DOOM
When will racism end 
yuh some targeted aoe buffs
Target dn
what is this melee buff yall talking about
"we've lowered kingsbane damage by 15% and lowered melee auto attack speed by 3% for all rogues"
you forgot the part where they buff black powder damage by 20% for assassination-spec rogues only
they should rework kingsbane into a bleed
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
Honestly I kinda like not being bursty and being the constant ramp class, so the longer the fight is the better we are
i get that. and it does have a nice taste to it. but then you get allot of issues in low end keys and low end raids where you are just basicly useless cause shit dies to quickly.
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
Fair but it would also inversely make us way better at high keys
yes it would
And low keys are already a joke so like, this is fine imo
did envenom tracking get bricked or something
the issue is aswell. low lvl players are the majority of the player base.
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?
Yeah but we've been hovering around least played since shadowlands
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 🙂
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 
lol there's a blue post saying people who got the crafting bug probably won't get any crests or sparks back
God bless
multi dollar company
I'm happy I didn't risk crafting
Exploit early exploit often, oh wait this is the opposite type of bug for that
When I think of a king's worst problem, I also think of excessive blood loss.
Not rebellion, or diarrhea, or even patricide.
I think his worst problem is peeing, have you ever seen how many ancient Chinese assassinations were from climbing up the toilet area and stabbing their butt
Once was crazy enough, but like 5 times in written history? God damn
and imagine the horror of the rest of your life if you lived from that
Right? Now you're perma afraid of spear in toilet situations
plus scar tissue being an issue every time you poop too lol
Numerous individuals have died while using a toilet facility or in the process of defecation or urination. This includes confirmed or suspected historical figures as well as more recent notable cases.
Very fun wikipedia article btw
Hey, if they can climb a hundred feet up a shaft of literal shit then they earned the right to stab a butt.
Dig in yo butt twin, but literally and someone else's butt 

There is an astronomically low chance that an Asian man will stab you in the ass while you're sitting on your toilet.
But that chance is also not 0%.
That's true
That's why most toilets in Asia are on the floor, so you can just squat over it and be ready if an ass-stabber appears.
Less reaction time if you're sitting down.
Yeah you're squatted in prep to frogger jump
I'm so happy I joined the rogue discord
So much wonderful information going straight into my neurons


If you really think about it, human meat is vegan
I mean what 
hey im just coming back, could anyone post the command to see plater/weakaura profiles, if these are even a think anymore

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
pawsome
that first pull and boss were JUIIICY
pawsome
How did it go roryhamdonecraverputmanpedersen?
deplete bc 2 other dps were literally griefing
Frank Castle shoots Clark Kent with a finger pistol
unfortunately our dh friend is not online otherwise we would have blasted
got unlucky with the randoms gg
how much dmg did u get on it
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
they should make deathmark and kingsbane 45 sec cooldowns 
2 minutes feels like shit
they should just make it so deathmark and kingsbane jumps to a new target when the target dies

yeah could actually pull good numbers in aoe then lol
I mean assa in keys is actually great
45 sec fking pillar of frost feels 10 times better than assa cooldowns even though frost is kinda bad rn
doing seat on assa compared to sub you actually are useful
word you should definitely go reroll dk bud
yeah but if we had dm every major ad pack pull then it would be def meta 😛
assa legit nukes the thanos mobs in the start of seat
What's your ilvl?
sec lemme get the screenshots
this was first pull
do people really not understand that 45s cooldowns are tuned to be less impactful per use than 1m or 2m cooldowns

this was first boss
that's why the cd is lower
then play a 90sec spec instead?
261 with 4p
tf is that logic
exactly bro!
my gear is so chud 
Hmm I see, damn you're doing like 30k more than me or something. But I'm still making rotation mistakes.
I only got 2p tho
4p is insane
but those 45 sec cooldowns are actually more impactful now
tbf, sub has LESS dmg then assa outside of its burst windows

it just does more and more often xD
xD thats tuning you ape
i did my first keys on assa yday and went from 70k overall to 85k now to this
well sub is kind of an outlier in that it does healer damage outside cds, i dont think frost is like that
i think algethar is one of the crazier dungeons for assa
and thats what im talking about 
because of the first pull
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/chCRmPrA1q8WawQ4?fight=4&type=damage-done I mean in pit aswell the spec just cranks all prio mobs
Nice, yeah 2p made me go from like 80kish to 100kish overall
(only logged assa dungeon I had for some reason cause bigwigs doenst auto log m+ for me atm??
)
How can I check your spec on craftlogs?
I keep worrying that my spec is wrong but it's prolly not
click my name and summary
shows talents / gear
this really is mostly big numbers = fun but i think i enjoy assa the most rn in dungeons
Thanks yeah using same spec, prolly skill issue and li'l bit gear diff
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
playing assa in lower keys or pulls without a tanky prio target just feels soooo ahhh
thats the only issue wid it
Yeah I feel way better in m10s compared to when I was doing m0s
i dont think lowering the cds is the answer
ye literally
the higher the keys the better the sepc feels
But in raids it feels so weird like
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
we dont lose much for our raid cleave spec
Main problem is getting to cleave anything

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?
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
good thing CT does decent damage either way
but likw u still gotta press it for the stat pad I think
Stealth applies improved garrote, you garrote again to refresh it at like 6 or 7 sec
Just make sure it doesn't drop
(Right?)
its alrdy improved but u apply it twice just for the longer duration
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
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
I've been wondering about using envenom twice in a row for the 5% increase before cooldowns
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
Or does that just take too long
true it depends on mob count ^^
thats just a general
should we use envenom on kingsbane targets in aoe? like always?
does anyone know the number of mobs that need to be there for it to be worth overcapping cp
I dont think it depends on mob count but I could be wrong
cuz ive heard this
but I never hear anyone say when it is actually worth
yes, becuase envenom and KB apply casutic, only one target can have caustic, so make sure your caustic stays on your KB target so your KB splatters
sim was having like, 15% spatter uptime instead of the 80+% we have
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
i meant whether to use CT or FOK depends on mob count, bc you might use CT further into the pull if you have a lot of targets that need bleeds
thanks, sounds super uncomfortable
focus target this focus target that

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
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
Lmao meanwhile I see other classes just kinda like press buttons and everything gets hit for max damage

But I've fallen in love with this class and spec
So fk it
I'm tripling down
welcome brother
you def want it capped before CDs bc its literally a 20% dmg increase, if you apply bleeds to 3 targets and then start your CDs, thats a 6% buff (2% per target) so you would need 4 more globals (CT spreads to 2 targets) before you max out the buff
thats what im talking about, assa is fun but feels like an affix for yourself
at least they could make CT spread bleeds to all in one global
no you gonna press it 20 times lil bro 😎
Lmao imagine it applies bleeds too and that's it, you're done
I don't even know if I would enjoy it then
assuming youre envenoming before you CT again, you'd essentially be missing 3-4 envenoms without the full agi buff
okay but you already have bleeds applied to 5 targets or so if you just CD normally. so you are holding cooldowns on a pack for what, you two cast CT - CT - Envenom - CT - CT - Envenom and THEN puzzle box, then deathmark kingsbane? I dont think that is worth it when you would only really be buffing the initial kingsbane hit.
Omg really?
Bruh I swear I've learned something every day since I joined this server 💀 wtf
kingsbane damage needs time to ramp
correct
But then isn't the other talent better?
in regular opener, you'd garrote -> FOK -> rupture -> CT (assuming pull big enough to generate 5 combo) -> envenom -> PBOX -> DM -> KB and at that point you only have bleeds on 3 targets right?
ye I mean if u just look at rank 1 logs they agree with what backshotbot is saying
Cause I have noticed I end up with 4 combopoints a lot, I keep thinking "if only"
so im lowkey team backshots
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
I dont even envenom before cds in keys
you just send garrote fok rupture (maybe garrote) -> puzzle box cds
and then start envenom CT
thats not good gang
im not entirely sure either LOL, im just trying to see if anyone knows, this was just my thinking lol
most packs I think it is more likely you would need to CT twice to build your first envenom but it definitely can be only one
in st sure
im not saying im 100% correct, idek what the correct answer is
in aoe I do not think its worth it
I think uwu has a point
atleast in 10-12s
Because like I've been doing that and I feel like I'm wasting too much time
stuff does not live
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
if the prio mob will live, envenoming first is better even in aoe but if it wont live, just send it kings
@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
as you wish
@frosty cedar i phrased the question right for what you're saying?
prob depends on the count
idk tho
i'll look at some logs on diff dungeons
i would assume it depends on target count
i think the question does cover it yes
as my #1 damage source in keys rn is garrote
so spreading it would intuitively be more damage
r u playing fatebound or deathstalker?
fatebound
the sim on 10 targets just sends it, mind you
nothing is big enough to warrant ds prio damage
yeah I mean ideally sure
wtf
can u run it for like 15 and 20 and see if it does the same?
oh me and wapples are talking about his suggestion that you cap agi buff first
I agree with your point
if the mob will die too quiickly if you have to do the full normal setup
its the same on 20 seconds but it is pulling from the APL which says that this is correct
like even first pull of windspire I did the extended opener and the prio adds were almost dead as I was casting puzzlebox 
the only reason the logic seems counterintuitive to me is because your first envenom after kingsbane would only be hitting with 10% of the buff if that makes sense
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
in general tho you can kinda just vibe the opener also
no i know, but im saying your first envenom in your DM window which is +10% and puzzle box window is only gettings 10% of the agi buff whereas if you max buff first before your opener, that envenom is hitting for essentially 10% more dmg which caustics and everything
spec does nuke prio targets either way 

anyone have a good cast sequence macro for cringebox?
that I can just macro into DM/blades
you can
well that you can do I guess
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
well you can just have it on another bind
and spam DM during the cast
spamming dm during puzzlebox cast doesnt interrupt it
if I were fighting 10 mobs for 5 minutes and I wouldnt miss a cooldown set by spreading the agi buff first, I would do so. but packs don't follow the same logic, I would be wary of holding anything in m+ most of the time, and most mobs you focus giga blowup often times before you can even get the full deathmark off
oh shti I didn't know that
i guess that would work
Aaaand I learned anothe thing
2 counts for today
ye you can spam abilities, just dont move 🙂
been playing sub in keys mostly

i think the answer here is that if you solely just look at the CD window, capping the agi buff before will lead to a greater cd WINDOW, however i think in terms of like the 5 minute fight and being in a dungeon, not holding is probably more optimal
so i think what you're saying makes sense
i believe this to be the correct interpretation
that was a fun use of 15 minutes, thanks lol
are you telling me you dont enjoy the little mechanical sounds as ur character stands there and channels this silly little box
yep I do
ngl. It happens to me too where the mob moves farther away and I rip a natty shadowstep after the box
ngl im kind of a puzzle box enjoyer
I might be cooked
whatthesigma
the greatest hunter of demons out there
I love that feeling when my raidleader is screaming at us to dps the boss down and I'm casting puzzle box
It feels like a li'l rebellious act
no problem, its often worth it to hash things out to figure out the best way to do things in certain situations 🙂
bro is just playing with his silly little puzzle (usually standing in a suspicious swirly hoping it doesnt go off mid cast) while the end of the world is going on
"Let me cook"
Also last Pit of Saron m10 I did
I was gonna pop my cooldowns on the ice elemental dude in the cavern before boss so we'd get through that part faster
Mf raised his shield in my face when I was done with puzzle box
Massive keks
Lesson learned

you dont need cast sequence macros when you have this
/question
Grok is my rubix cube working
We are a rare breed
jesus christ
I've been applying to groups as Sub, then swapping to Assa, and being promptly kicked
I have been just committing to sin both in application and party
Got 2.2k as Sub though 
It's rough getting accepted but not the worst
It means there's 4.3% people playing this class at a higher score
Basically
Or maybe it's overall, idk for sure
Wtf
If you're wondering why aren't there more people higher than your score, it's a work week

We be here in our cubicles, vibing
You're a god gamer twin, but not due to this
Because no one else can die the ways you do 
TRUE
Pooping on company time I see
I have had fuck all to do all week because my company is between projects 
But it's in person so I'm just at my cube thinking about life
thinking about life WoW
Actually, same thing
True
!poisons
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
odds we catch meaningful buffs today?
50%
is sin catching up to sub numbers wise?
do we suspect that sin will eventually be the rogue go to spec?
they are about the same
Sin does more execute, sub has 1:30 timers
depends what a specific encounter is asking u to do
guys r we DS or FB in keys
FB
ty
I did some keys today. Spec is pretty fun tbh
can anybody see something wrong here
is that a non dagger OH?
yes
but look more into the image dawg
i cant upgrade it to 266
for no reason
hmmm that 266 weapon you have equipped is not a dagger
yeah
blizzard special
it has to be class related
maybe somthing to do with craft bugs
if u have a 266 cloth gear it doesnt count
theres n oway
u need leather 266
or try to go outlaw and upgrade it
try outlaw
its a str or int weapon?
does the oh weapon even count
yeah, just a git gut from Jhon blizzard
its likely a weapon compatible
doesnt count str weapons
i did say cloth/mail etc wont count
didnt count str trinks in tww
mmm idk i only do sin
swap weapons equiped, sell and buyback
not tragedies
have you tried it?
i doubt that rip
maybe try and go sub
they equip both maces and daggers
I wouldn't upgrade if it's not free, it's only +1 agi lol
anyone know what other craft other then dagger to go if i swap between sub and sin and what stats
im out of the mines 
Happy for you
Ok so quick question
In aoe do u spend a lot of time spreading bleeds or do u spread them to a certain point then start doing ur regular aoe rotation?
spread bleeds until there are no more bleeds to be spread
unless its like little shitters you dont care about anyway
how do you guys keep track of how many adds are out vs how many pleads you have when spreading w/ crimson?
If it’s a turbo pull you can just vibe it out
But energy could be good enough to just keep slamming CT
CT is more damage than FoK anyway
Ye
You just CT envenom over and over
Don’t listen to Backshots.. he pays for PIs…
@frosty cedar did you get r1 on paladins?
What do you parses look like now :O
