Imo, sub is more reliable for prog because of it's damage profile but that comes down to preference
i think people only come to that conclusion because burst specs look better when you wipe early
Sub, however, is a lot more tanky than assa
how do you figure sub is a lot more tanky than assa
There's still a big difference between assa and sub
Every dance is 10% damage taken reduction
No, but if I am passively taking less damage than a different spec, then I am tankier than the other spec
you are not dying in raid
not if the temporary tankiness occurs when no damage happens
But you use quite a lot of shadow dances
dying in this raid is funny i wont lie. its not like previous ones
the data shows sub rogues die more often
dying in this raid is somewhat intentional
we don't need to invent reasons to play sub or assa
if you need to kill adds go sub
at the moment this does not happen
in almost any boss
you also get passive shield/healing from exhilarating execution
i think ppl should probably also be playing ephemeral bond on a couple fights
I did say it was personal preference for prog
I personally think sub is more reliable because of it's much simpler damage pattern in which there's a lot of time where button presses isn't important
....huh
And assa falls off harder for bad presses
man, those last 10min have some WILD takes
for sure sub is more punishing than assa
just prog outlaw, u get punished for pressing buttons
Pretty sure my guild would have benched me just for playing outlaw
Except for during splits
exactly
switching from sub to assassination; I feel like my aoe as sub - two button spam - is much much better than the tanks not letting me go in stealth to apply the buffed garrote, rupture, crimson x whatever mobs, envenom in between then fok. I think I got like 2 improved garrotes minus bosses out of the whole dungeon and it was with vanish. am i doing it wrong as sub comes out ahead in dps.
bro, imp. garrote is doing jack shit
idk i think its really easy to do more dps on assa than sub as long as prio targets don't instantly blow up
depends on key levels
at lower keys sub will do more and sin will do less
bc mobs live longer at higher keys
imp garrote is more of a "it feels bad" rather than actually making a huge difference
its easier than shuriken storm and black powder spam?!?
also how do you only get 2 stealths
Well, assa does the same just CT to spread bleeds and then FOK, envenom spam
what key level were u at
even in runs when tank doesnt want to le met stealth
And those big adds get bonked to death
ok so in this 17 maisara caverns i did 158k overall and i had 8.5% uptime on improved garrote
i get like half of the pulls
12's and to answer the other questions was vanish
ah ill keep to sub then
It does better in lower keys just because it's front loaded
mobs die so fast in 12s sin doesnt get any value
just people telling me to go sin, so guess they looking at streamers or tier list or some other bad shit that low keys dont matter.
im not sure what your saying here, are you saying that bad players will do worse on assa? so therefore its more reliable for prog? what if your just not bad? π
is vanish + imp garrote much better than playing imp poisons lethal dose and poison bomb? even delaying vanish for the 2min mark?
raid
3 weeks ago we were not picking imp garrote and going lethal dose poison bomb, even whisp on video said that, now with the updated raid talent build on wowhead is getting imp garrote instead of secondary poisoning and poison bomb
yeah lots of bugs were fixed
like deathmark not actually doubling bleeds on sims
so imp gar is a lot better now
you know how wow players work
If you remember SOD RWF where Liquid boomies all played venthyr and Echo's were playing Night Fae. I think the Night Fae play was smart since it was the easiest and most reliable way of getting max output and I think similar of assa and sub
I realise the diference is not nearly as big as back then, but the damage between dances on sub is not that punishing. So I prefer starting on sub rogue, unless the fight is clearly assa favoured. And then if we are lacking boss damage, but adds die fast, there's an option to swap
they get 1 or 2 packs where its a shity puull and go "wtf i can never stealth"
same story for 10 years now 
keep waiting for the 'more than 3 pack'
ohh so even losing 1 cast of vanish is worth more than the other build?
yeah, I played venthyr boomy back then, I think that is more a case of 'its unreliable because mechanics can mess you up' rather than it being unreliable in high pressure or execution reasons. sub and assa are both very very easy at the moment to the point where I dont think it matters at all.
do you mean like, holding the vanish for second DM? yeah, essentially. You can do that, or you can use the vanish to extend your first imp gar if you would lose a cast otherwise
I can agree with that. It is also personal preference similar to a guy on his main spec is usually better on that than an offspec
its less that your losing a cast of vanish but your opener has the imp gar in deathmark which is great
And I play both just to be confident in both
with assa you can't go wrong
if you fuck up dances on sub you do 0 dmg
@frosty cedar are you gonna play sudden demise on dragons next clear? 
assa even afk for some seconds nothing happens

doing it tommorow... now we arent progging I have a special build cooked up
like do I want enchant of haste or how do u wanna play this ? all guidse say so

hey friends u use puzzlebox b4 deathmark right
surely the void orbs are filtered out soon
also how do y'all pump on cosmos? the boss feels so rough for us
yep
Ye, but you also have good time to pay attention to dances since between them you are free to do whatever, kinda
Scuffing assa CDs is also very punishing
hc or myth?
no it is not
it depends on timers really but my general strategy for hc cosmos is
- dm + kb first add
- swap to second add, KB when its low if KB comes up, if not, KB third add
- in intermission hug alleria near the end
- garrote her just before she knocks you up, shadowstep down, vanish imp gar, rupture, then CT onto her and alleria before alleria jumps away
- DM + KB on alleria, CT adds
- KB allera at some point when it comes up
then its really based on timings. If you can DM + KB at the very start of P3, you will get a second cast, if not, you wont
if im just about to go to p3 I wont do a second cd set in p2, I might kingsbane solely
dude I'm not even running CT lmao thank you so much for this
extremely helpful
love u β€οΈ
some people dont take it, but I got a r1 hc with it, it depends really. I think its good if you can CT often when alleria and the simulacrum swap
you can get good value this way that isnt just pad
think about when the tanks will swap, consider reapplying dots, and try to position to CT both alleria and the simulacrum before it gets brought away, basically
I was manually applying dots on both during our run and was thinking about how useful CT would be
the whole time
so much envenoms lost and combo points wasted
I'll keep this in mind for next time
the garrote intermission tech is insane
you gotta be quick with it, she jumps away in like 3 globals
yeah ct is weird
based off of how caustic splatter is written as a talent, is it better to envenom different targets once your dots are up when doing keys or no?
Makes sense, most if not all your nature damage comes from your rotation and not your bleeds
correct, bleeds arent nature so π
so if you switch targets nothing is procing splatter but poisons and envenom
he's right
basically, but when you envenom a target, it puts spatter on it and even splashes that first envenom
so target swapping is not awful on fatebound. you just lose the poison procs splashing from your auto attacks in the meantime before you envenom
your highest dmg will just be sticking on one guy
we dont talk about amp poison aoe swapping in here 
Some day I will be removed from a group I just joined because I hit my macro
But not today
When can we tho
pretty sure that happened
spoilers harry is a wizard harry

"you're a wizard harry"

this changes everything
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WwxCt7jFbhgGZNDY?fight=12&type=damage-done&source=26
other than sending my CDs on a instakill target, what did i do wrong here? numbers just seem awful always for me
Iβve been learning assassination (usually play sub), which raid bosses is assa decent at? I want some good practice but I donβt want to gimp myself.
what u guys consider as good stats % for m+ like how much crit / haste
prolly mastery too
whatever raidbots says does the most damage
And Hagrid is a hairy wizard
Unironically all of them
tyty. I was looking through lorrgs and it looks like dps is pretty similar. Excited to try assa on paladins!
you will be glad
because thats a group with Weak Mental then
do we not want regicide reward on dragons?
I don't have many silly macros
But I put a lot of effort into them
I love Evil Larry memes
They give me life
surely thats better on Nexus King Saladbar
whos gonna tell him
HUH
TOO DUMB TO GET IT
also trying to be in range of both dragons actually sucks
Nexus king saladbar is in MFO, Fallen king Saladbar is in VS
wow

how do you guys handle chimeraus? Just put dots on adds then go back to slamming boss?
(thisll be my first time on myth chimeraus so idk how tight the damage check is)
!logs
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
depends on your comps add damage. I got away with CTing small ones when close and CTing big one, swapping if it was looking tight.
When downstairs was full time on big dude till he went up ofc.
If your overall aoe is lacking though you may have to adjust and do more tho
you may have to start heavy on adds and as people get more comfortable you can swap off too
Also someone better than me could also have a better strat I had like 3 pulls before it was dead cause I didnt prog it
can we break fixate from boss on vorasious
yea you can vanish the fixate
muh vanish
do you guys know a good cdm profile?

The wowhead article also has some
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/addons-macro-ui-imports
can u have 2 same embellishments on a piece of gear?
Not on the same item no, but on two different items you can have the same one
guys anyone know if will wowanalyzer ever be updated for assa rogue in midnight? if not there is a similar tool to use ?
I assume there's no way to macro Blindside's Ambushes into a Mutlilate macro, right?
You dont need to, the game does that automatically
Blindside causes your Mutilate button to become Ambush
Now to vibe until Tuesday
Ah gotcha, thanks. Should have given it a go before asking
just did a whole 13 on my alt with no poisons on, how much more damage should I expect to do with poisons
Anyone having issue where garrote is not applying mark?
It wont apply the mark if you already have a mark up elsewhere
Or if the game thinks you have a mark up elsewhere
oh so many a world bug?
I get that but if my mark applied to a mob evading in egypt
Ye then you are fucked
ladies and gentlemen we are on the board
In 2 weeks with .5 you get a button to move your mark though, so that should alleviate most of the issues
bruh is it just me or is CT on the dragio bros ultra sketchy?
feel like sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it does one bleed, sometimes both
and if it fails I press it again without me or the bosses moving and it applies
Yeah I've noticed that sometimes it only spreads one of your two bleeds, it's really odd
if there are other mobs it could
It happens in other situations too, but it seems more common during dragons
Also Blizzard's default buff tracker sometimes just doesn't track the apex talent stacks

hey! just a question, what makes Sin outshine Subt in vanguard bos mythic? if it is indeed better i'd rather prep a good week on that spec. is there a source to look through why, or someone can explain?
wait forreaal
sub is just ass on anything more than 2 targets, or 1 main target+cleave for funnel
because you can have permadots and do more damage overall as sin than sub
so deffo worth practising 3 target rotation for that boss prog?
tbf
good thing about sub is durability on this fight
idm the swap
also it is like 2.5 bosses
i've played sin
changing up and going assa isnt gonna improve anything
so it is borderline
if you arent like already on par with sub on it in terms of damage, survivability, doing mechanics, uptime
we start progging next raid so nothing is on par

maybe gear
actually, gear could fk it up. might just ignore sin 
I think sub is genuinely so shit at 3 target that it doesn't matter
i hate sub on 3 target
so does blizzard
and we love blizzard
sims are telling me to regem everything master/crit, is that due to the new sim fixes
we've come full circle
for how much gain ?
good thing they buffed devourer for some reason
a solid 1% if i do all my gems
if it is for m+ sounds reasonable
yes
im guessing it's because mastery is weighted more because of internal bleeding now
being spread
you have puzzlebox?
yep i do
mastery is also just good in aoe
guess ill regem on raid nights π€
I mean regemming only for m+ and losing in raid dmg is not worth it imo
or just boss damage
also wasting 20k gold or 50 isn't worth it π
like it ain't that serious idk
muh key parses
dungeonslice is a suggestion more than anything
all dungeon sims are whack
dungeonroute sucks, dungeonslice sucks
patchwerk aoe sucks harder than everything else
just how it is
At that point you better have purchased myth boes
gotta put brain into dungeon sims
true but these cost 1m
man
im fucking my parses so hard by not going dumb aoe padd brain on all fights
i hate it
even though everyone switched to internal bleeding like weeks ago, i didn't until the guide was updated, because i do as the sims command, feel kinda dumb because it was a decent dps jump
yeh the bug is really dumb
They should instead no nerf ib and instead buff canny strikes by a small number
Say 10% crit
Thoughts whispyr???
:^)
I think they should fix the bug
they should turn assassination into the rogue healing spec

what's really crazy is how much outlaw sucks at vanguard
they removed the thing where your BF does more dmg per missing target, right? That probably hurts the performance as well
on which boss?
alleria
i mean its probably gonna be better
p1 burst is insane, im hitting like 450k in p1 at times
before we go intermission
I need build for raid have crimson to spread bleed for aoe
you mean the....raid build in wowhead...?
sub?
1
yes
L
do you want to avoid dropping implacable during kingsbane or doesnt change much?
you ignore implacable during deathmark because of finish the job
during kingsbane alone it doesn't matter
you're realistically only interested in having envenom up for the first 8-10ish seconds of kb anyway
and you get that kinda automatically with the apex
Am I the only one that cooldown manager buff tracker for Implacable does not work properly? It only shows the buff sometimes, but not the stacks I am having and I need to look up at buffs bar to see it π
!implac
Implacable is bugged in Blizzard's Cooldown Manager, there is no way to "fix" it.
Until blizzard fixes it, you just have to either count your envenoms or glance at your buff bar if you're trying to be optimal. Ignoring it when it bugs is <1% loss.
thank you @balmy condor
ok thanks, on kingsbane without death mark, are you expected to always hit 50 stacks? i find myself hitting 50 fairly late into the duration more often than not
yep, it do be like that
deathmark doubles poison applications
so the non-deathmark kingsbane are always going to be a wet noodle

With or without sauce?
the water that condensed on them after you drained the pot
is the sauce in this case
you drain the pot??
mf is wasting water
In this economy? SMH
Did you ever color your hair like that
yes

yeah asking for a friend here
i did my own cooking for it but im not assa player
so its probs not 100% correct
yall taking adds into boss?
err
egg
my cook is prebleed add, gate, and CT egg into cds
havent decided on preusing box
gonna fiddle on monday
you are red now
in p2 to egg2 yes
but id not play fcking CT
that seems not great
im also not playing Assa on it right now
but id just pre bleed them build to max so you can insta cds
what
dw about it
Charred 
whats really there to optimize on assa though
panda squad goes hard tho
damn is that the stealthi that just uploaded the mythic crown kill
holy
what a coincidence
nah
no raccons in sight
cant be stealthi
Vulpera already exists !
thats not a raccoon
so you dont like apes or humans either
same hands
their hands are small
so are yours compared to your body
well yeh, would you eat dirty food?
With big AOE pulls are we letting envenom buff drop? Seems to me that it's higher DPS to just cast envenom and forget about implacable. I could be wrong, though.
implacable is just energy regen, if you don't need energy regen, you don't trigger it
Good point. ty!
Implacable would be such a better ability if it didn't refresh the timer at max stacks, I know they wanted us to pool but I mean c'mon
Oh 100%. Idk who Blizzard is thinking of when they say "we know Assassination players love pooling."
Like... Who?
????????
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Maybe I'm in the minority but I hate pooling lol
I like pooling if it is good
Wowzers that's a lot of negative energy about me not liking pooling lol
not feral
e
they pool too
me
this is not any bit of negative
yeah you haven't seen negative Varas untill he winds you up to the point of writing a letter to the FBI and your local government official
for sactions

fist me
Lol I'm okay with being in the minority, I don't like it. 'Sin was more fun when it was faster in TWW imo, but I'm aware that may not be popular.
I like high APM specs
It wasnt faster in tww except in big aoe
end of bfa sin was the goat cuz of this
yeh, assa is fundamentally not a high APM spec
using CT in ST
Also true
good on ya
hand your sin card in
I am of course jesting
I would never be caught playing sub
assa or death
This pretty good for a 14 pit with an aug? It wasnt logged
DS sub goes hard for prio
TRUST
yep that's pretty decent
The only person in this entire discord I trust to give me crazy advice is Whispyr
sin feels pretty good now after the buffs
||It's literally always felt like this, you're just not doing +10's anymore||
Assa got buffed?
on Tues it did
Jail time didn't do you any favors 


Thanks, king ππ»
Think whisyr is right though the 14 allowed me to pump a little more
'Sin is straight up functional and really good rn but I think people aren't using it like purely for psychological and perceptual reasons. Like even I play sub and 'sin back and forth and even though my sub only ends up 5-7k above my 'sin at the end, that big burst damage at the beginning of a fight is hard to give up.
Legion ptsd is kicking in
Nighthold kinda cook
Poison bomb gamba
implacable tracking fix when ?
What is caustic was kill and bleeds ultra fucked
next year?
based eleem
I wanna sudden demise maxx again
Would it be worth investing into it now ? was thinking of making a separate toon for it, mainly played outlaw and sub.
On the hour of my third death
What if spatter was only for KB and bleeds mega buffed
I'm convinced they will literally never do the obvious thing and let us track both the building buff and the activated buff.
You absolutely do not need a secondary character to play another spec in current wow
i'm convinced they dont know how to do that
I geared up two characters to 270 this weekend
There is no need for a secondary char for specs xd
the faq and wowhead
more of a "what" than a who I guess
Is this true?
did the prison system not reform you skoop
Is the prison system supposed to do that? 
Canβt change perfection
I don't play any other class ngl, mostly had fun leveling my two other rogues and gearing them up
only thing that bothers me is gearing to 260 ish
oh my god the pad build is deathstalker i hate it here
kind of pointless having 2 rogues
The people needed a hero, so I became it
What
No worries, friend
sudden demise (its super ethical because they have to die anyways)
useless talent
played that shit in a 15 and it cranked
Well its CT, doomblade or poison application, but those adds are 80% of the fight so having CT is better than youd think
I really prefer to level it from scratch and learn the spec
jumping into m+ directly after swapping feels
odd..
doomblade+caustic
is the way
whatcha pushing bud
I thought that but idk, i think being able to just CT bleeds onto boss leads to probably 1-2 more envenoms on burn
what about the gear tho ? ( sorry for my stubbornness )
at most 1
i watched pugs manage to deplete a 10 xenas
unless you dont prepare for the phasing correctly
but if adds are an issue just play sub
(i do think sub is overall better on the fight)
change jewelry
I havent done enough assa on that fight, does boss keep bleeds during intermission?
is assa even better on any boss
besides paladins
iirc it does
i have some cook rdy for next week that ill see how performs
stealthi more like... smellthi amirite
piss off frog
What boss is this for even
My cook is that the less gcds in the burn u press a bleed button the better
So ct is good for that
so sub is even better 0 bleed buttons
Hahaha truth
I think assa will do slightly more burn, ahh wish i had more prog time
I was getting 230-240k egg1 burns as sub but ik the egg2 will never be that
Depends how many superchargers i can cheese out in p2
personally i dont think it does
but i also cant even play puzzle box for more burst
as my soak in p1 is demonic
Ive been digging at logs and burn 1 is sub kingdom and burn2 assa is very strong
My soak is out of intermission, with the wall of balls
mine is 18 sec into the fight
Oh the cringe one
so as sub i can just dance on pull
do my soak
go back to boss and press blades
Yeah thats what i was doing - the soak part
Just sblades at 19ish seconds and blow them up
Second sec tec lands on eggs too
Ggez
Then stack sc
i cant pool to much for intermissions yet as our end of p1 isnt clean yet
which usually ends up in us having to kill eggs just as boss is about to phase
Yall should take adds into p1 egg
Hunter dps gain + practice for 2nd egg
Thats what we're gonna be progging for on monday iirc
we did speed run some prog
Haha no way
xD
Thats good proggers tho
We had some issues with the balls that converge inward in 2nd phase
And tank movement
But idk i think if everyone is just actively eating balls early
Fight is chill
No real dps race anymore
it is yes
Im gonna be a ball muncher tmrw lowkey
Holding dps forever anyway
May as well be useful
Its actually highkey difficult cause my paladin and dk are sprinting for them too ethical 4 me
what do you think about alleria mythic in sin ? dmg to boss looks pretty good vs sub
had another wipe day on alleria 
14% after almost 60 pulls now
shouldve had it
Its cool
the public sin log did 255k first burn, probably is just better on both burns
If I have improved garrote running on the target, do I throw in a regular garrote at the pandemic window, or do you let it go its full duration before refreshing with a non-improved garrote?
full duration
thanks
np boo
what do you guys use atm for dmg meter? Details or something else?
i use the one in the game
its all the one in game anyhow
details is just a skin over the in game one, blizz made it so only their stuff actually works
for some reason the blizzard design of the dmg meter is very unpleasant to look at
what percent haste are yall at?
are there any other "skin alternatives"?
like when i have details on everything looks neat but i feel like details still goes a bit on cpu i guess?
im at 270ilvl with 16% haste. wondering if i should be chasing a bit more than that
Now get it on Myth track
whatever the sims say my friend
yeah ngl ive been neglecting the retail sims. i simmed in MoP and cata and dont know how to use raidbots lmfao. time to go watch a video
!simguide
Guide to Simming yourself: https://www.wowhead.com/how-to-use-raidbots-sims-stat-weights
For more accurate results you should always sim yourself using Top Gear for gear you already have in your bags
or Droptimizer to see which content drops the biggest upgrade for you. Do not use Stat Weights sims to evaluate gear.
oh dayum. sick
yoo does anyone know of an addon that tells you how many enemies are in range
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1325481954128433162/1493043869128855733/image.png?ex=69dd88f5&is=69dc3775&hm=2079bf77d1d8c75c47bada169811e79cead1cc1fe606cc407b03dd1f22ae44cc& my intermission on chimeraus is fuckin weak, is this a me issue or a spec issue?
Cloak, probably vanish
"one heal"
Idk Iβve never died to it xd
in 17s they do 10 billion damage
if u get 2 u just insta die
1 is like 40% of ur hp per tick
Luck issue
elusiveness diff maybe
someone in my group got 3 and just died instantly 
I also donβt really push m+ at all
same
Itβs a channel right so could you not break los
does that work hm
No idea just a thought
Fight them near the doorways and dip in and out as they target
any niche burst macros or general macros you guys recommend? havent played assa in forever
Seems about right
gotcha
Umbral Plume or Puzzle box ? both 276
Apparently it does work yeah, canβt outrange but los works from my brief research
CT and other Bugs
Welcome to the clown show
Much like the improved garrote stuff, making a pin and a video and talking about the nonsense from the last couple weeks might be interesting to people. This is not a big update about logic, and these bugs have been reported already.
TLDR:
FOR YOU AS A PLAYER, NOTHING REALLY CHANGES RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEORYCRAFTING REFLECTS THESE FOR THE MOST PART. YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING CORRECTLY.
The fun part:
- Internal Bleeding spreading from CT is in sims now.
This is new and questionably changes things, but should line up with current theorycrafting already. Keep pressing CT in giga pulls or on fresh add spawns in raid to spread bleeds as before. If you're playing something like the weekly key build, you should most likely be trying to ignore fok in those situations with mobs that die instantly, attempting to use internal bleeding more like its own bleed to spread. This is also something to keep in mind for quick dying raid adds like the voidorbs on dragons. You should NOT be mindlessly spamming CT as you will still run out of energy.
- CT is on basically every whitelist, meaning for most people it's doing roughly 95-115% more damage than intended depending on your mastery
Yes, CT is affected by mastery. It's also affected by zoldyck, the 10% on sudden demise, the 20% from implacable, but it's also still counting as a finisher for the purposes of Stratagem talents, and it's also still affected by generator stuff like lethality. It's the total package really. This was also accounted for in sims and part of the reason why CT is so strong.
In a previous pin I talked about some of the other bugs that have been plaguing the spec, either from blizzard's side or from the sims side.
One of the bigger changes, Venomous Wounds has gotten a logic update recently in sims and functions more like energy split between your bleeding targets, with a multiplier for each additional bleeding enemy, so the total keeps increasing with more bleeds. This split is seemingly calculated separately for garrote/rupture. Prior bugs that have been fixed included some talents just straight up not working, deathmark breaking due to a change in blizzard flagging system, and some poison proc issues.
in a higher maisara for example should I run amp pois/wound or deadly/wound
hmm cool
i might try
!up
What do i even take from this
if only I put a big bold TLDR that says exactly what you should take from this
that would be so convenient
That would be sick
would this result in a large "nerf" upon fix?
yes
well
depends on what "large" is
it's in the magnitude of ~3%
which is the buff we just got
Canβt wait to CT a whole lot more on paladins prog
Maybe CT was just the friends we made along the way
yo do you need a different keybind for ambush now? didnt mutilate turn into ambush before
anyone know what "guaranteed yield" is? It seems to be poison damage in a recent fight
Nope
nope as in you dont need a diff keybind?
no, mutilate turns into ambush when blindside procs
blizzerino pls let us track
oh haha I found it, guaranteed yield is a loa blessing I grabbed
What add-ons do you guys use to tell when a group is fully dotted
my eyes
Ok but when hp bars overlap you can't see everything
vibe check the target count
I c
i tried ignoring fok on the dummies but ct is kinda eating all my energy πΏ
I do math
why would you do that
i saw the piined post
are you sure
maybe
if you did, you wouldn't be doing that
something about ignoring fok if youre playing the m+ build no?

did i missundersstand it
Might have been a slight misunderstanding
shee my bad but then under it you say this quiteconfusing though no?
I mean yeah, on fast dying targets like weekly keys for internal bleeding damage, that's a possibility
not on your fucking dummies mate
Hey, Iβm back on Rogue and was wondering should I just use Crimson Tempest on CD? i mean in aoe
There is an option to stack enemy bars, instead of overlap them
what CD?
Hmm
like every 60 energy
stupid question - does CT apply weapon poisons?
yes, at regular rates
Like, every time itβs up (and I have enough energy), should I use it?
no
no you should ct until everything has bleeds then fok
can you please elaborate on the benefits of fok > ct? other than energy cost i guess
ah i see what you mean now. basically sniping dmg on a pack if its dying quick
like why would you fok instead of ct
energy pretty much and that's it
noted. thanks
I read the pin and my whole life has changed now whispyr should i press ct or fok if theres 3 adds and the sun is at its apex on a tuesday during rammadan
Implacable is bugged in Blizzard's Cooldown Manager, there is no way to "fix" it.
Until blizzard fixes it, you just have to either count your envenoms or glance at your buff bar if you're trying to be optimal. Ignoring it when it bugs is <1% loss.
ramadan finished last month
i cant read words that long and caps scare me can someone explain the most recent pin?
Ct some Fok some
If only our lord and savior put a tldr
ty
What if I can't read?
if you don't know what to press, you should press CT
boli famously doesn't know what button he's pressing
he's actually blind
and has the chat on a text to speech
I just told you that he has a vision impairment and you're laughing?

oh that wasn't a joke 
Im laughing cuz i know he is faking it
How else would he be able to
me
he just emotes in braille and it converts obviously
well for example xla in braille is β β β
how does boli know what to respond to
text to speech mate
bro tts reads slower than a 3rd grader
he has a screen reader
you can set it faster 
okay the bit has died
but now I'm starting to think you've never interacted with a blind person before
I have never interacted with a physically disabled person before
I see
The closest was my great grandpa in a wheel chair but he dead
Wednesday/thursday 6pm server for me 
Hope my raid leads donβt see that 
I see a lot of them but I havent interacted with a blind or deaf person
yo thats kinda sick
Think I might be cooked
Cuz my next question was gonna be what do they have for deaf people

yeah maybe you're just an idiot ngl
i feel bad for them lmao
We already knew that
I plead innocent
Its not my fault I have never met a physically disabled person
I knew a blind guy in college who could legit type faster than me
whats your wpm
wtf id be insanely impressed
god dayum bro
like he was going at stenography pace
i dont even type at 220
I think he had some program that was like halfway to stenography keyboard
where he could braille the sounds or something and it would convert
it was crazy
Have you seen those gamepads that look like hands
holy shit lol thats next level
Those are weird
imagine him going to competitive typing and his opponents just see him blind being like "easy win" and then get outplayed
250% screen reader and a stenography keyboard bro is doing laps around you
make those feet pedals and I'm in
how much crit am i aiming for? trying out sin after gearing sub and have ungodly amount of mastery vs crit
so i should sim statweights or just best in bag?
Is there a way to sim for stats without having the gear? Per se for deciding what piece of gear to aim for? As a workaround Iβve just been simming which flask will give the most benefit
how does this work
just top gear it
Hi everyone, how are you?
I hope you're all well π
I'm progressing with my guild in Mythic difficulty and we're currently playing Paladins (Vanguard). I'm playing Assassination but I'm doing very little DPS. Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong in my rotation?
I'm keeping the bleeds on all 3 targets and I'm trying to let the Envenom buff fall off when it reaches 80 stacks.
Please, I don't know what else to do and I'm logging in with a grayed-out score.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/v6jgfRPAdJMn3xcK?fight=22&type=damage-done
Sorry if this channel is not for this π
you can sim droptimizer or just use the search function at the top of top gear
Oh yeah droptimizer is a thing ofc
okay well there's some weird stuff that I don't really get
I was thinking about getting one of those lmao
Then i bought that razer keypad thing
And hated it
like idk why you're pressing CT 3x in a row here, or why there's a mutilate, or a shiv
So i didnt spend 300 bucks to hold hands
and then later on you vanish
but then 10 seconds later you apply a normal garrote
and then spread that
so you just wasted the vanish
it kinda just seems like you don't know what button to press so you just press something
in general though this isn't actually that bad
you're just wiping at like 60-30%
before zoldyck and everything
rogue and melee in general already suck on paladins
so like, you're not ever going to compete with 3 mm hunters
or a demo lock
I understand! Thank you!
Even if we don't wipe, it seems my damage will end up around 120-130k. My goal is 150k
if you get some low % kills and don't fix anything, you'd probably end up alongside the paladin
I hate having execute cause of that, if you wipe before execute, it just seems like you suck at doing damage
150 would be a 90 parse
Thats my goal, currently i'm parsing 10/20 π
well currently you're wiping
so the parses are irrelevant
wipe log parses don't mean shit
and you're also not in execute
wtf
so like, a little more awareness of what generator you're using, not messing up your vanish
where's the camera
When I get to the execution phase, what should I prioritize?
this bench arc is killing me, I've had to play 3 CS2 matches in a row and I'm about to lose it π₯
To be honest, I wasn't aware that Assassination had an execute; I never really delved too deeply into that spec.
it's kinda the big selling point
Does dragon tempered blades reduce all poison chances or just the second applied poison
So when we get to the execute phase, do you think my damage will increase?
that is how that talent works
It may even increase by 30%!
what kinda macro yall use for tricks?
why am i trash at ass in keys now? we essentially play the same, but spread bleeds with CT now instead of sending from stealth or tabbing around, yeah?
im assuming im sucking at that part but 
One that whispers the current tank and says Iβve not talented into tricks

Ty guys! Ty Whispyr !
As soon as we kill it, I'll post the log.
Thank you again! π
bigman mage with the deserter
improved garrote can be spread in CT?
yes
no
if they fix all the ct bugs how much we lose?
3%
How do you guys track all the adds in a huge pack, like in AA for example, to know if Crimson Tempest has all DoTs applied? So I donβt have to use CT unnecessarily. Iβm getting a bit of tunnel vision.
you don't
i just spam ct until i can see something
but anyway on big pulls i think you are supposed to spam ct
Well good news is there isnβt any unnecessary CT 
so last week's buff was a preemptive buff for the ct nerf 
but its better spam FoK right? since you applied all dots with CT
thats what i thought xD
when you have like infinite energy just ct and be happy
yeah but in huge pull and with lust
you have infinite energy
aka the first pull on AA
yep
yes ct until everything bleed then fok, but in stuff like aa i can't see shit so i just spam ct
make sense
I just keep and eye for a mob without dots
when I can't see them anynome I start foking
This is one of the most metal things I've ever read
Whispyr, I'm watching the new vid and have a question; does CT spreading Internal Bleeding do so to targets that already have the rupture? And if so is there any value in continuing to press it just to refresh internal bleeding?
Would this have any value in single target?
what is the dps difference between flipping all heads in your Cds vs flipping all tails?
- yes
- not really
- not efficient enough
like 2%?
less bonkers because you can only spread to 2 at a time
so the more mobs you get, the more caustic does, the less everything else does

knowing how many tails/heads you have is very crucial information 
0 and 1, this usually doesn't change
we need to know if we can pog or not
I was pogging so hard when I had 22 heads on a burst window in TWW
this was my breakdown from a +15 in a shit group, not super crazy over the course of a run, but it's nice
found it
Do we have to farm for both sub and sin gear? or just get as best we can?
i noticed that my stat weights arent really that off between the two and yet my sims are way more on the side of sub. Like an extra 17k dps on a patchwerk.
guys Potion of Recklessness > light's potential ?
well crit and mastery are inverted on the 2 spec so i guess is better have 2 sets
I personally don't think recklessness is worth it potentialy loosing 1 or 2 casts on your burst window over 30 agi
is there a better way to apply poisons right now
i see
sometimes wound takes amp poison sometimes it takes deadly as far as i can see?
cancelaura wound and just reapply i guess.
it takes your oldest
i like playing both, I agree that its inverted. I guess well see what drops this week in raid and then I can figure things out.
what is going on with that r1 log on dragons
Looks like unethical pad to me 
im not even sure how that works? hes desyncing dm and kb, thought he was playing ds for lingering but nah
40% voidorb damge
Any fights where people are going pure single target in the current raids? Doesn't seem that really any of them are that appropriate for it but I could be wrong.
That makes sense, I mean I guess the adds are so short lived you couldn't squeeze much damage out of them anyway?
you can argue for caustic/ct on those fights technically since it's so low cost to take though
Oh those are all easy to lose, that makes sense
I feel that if I needed to give up two I'd rather lose razor wire than doomblade but that probably has more consequences than I think lol
generally you drop doomblade cause razor wire/imp gar can be spread with ct
so if you're gonna play ct, you might as well keep razor wire
That makes sense too
It would be way annoying to have to use ct so much more frequently
I am in a dilemma
I was benched for reclear mythic 1 and 2, got back in for Chimmi, we didnt kill yet
We will most likely kill today and move to saladbar
Do I just bench myself so I dont accept the ID so I at least have a vault if we dont kill? (So i can pug 1 and 2 myth)

Only if you are sure you'll actually get a group clear 2/6 (and talk it out with your raid lead ofc)
I mean, Imperator would be enough for at least 1 vault slot
But ye, I will talk to our raid lead tonight
What do we think about something like running m+ talents on paladins in voidspire?
that is basically what the recommended talents are, yes

whispyr ive woken up for work which means its time for you to go to bed
you my mom?
i can be...

How many guilds have killed paladins now?
Has it started to become a Β«freeΒ» kill?
do we ever care about about the coins? llike do we change our gameplay around it or nah? im asking because my WA is tracking the coin flipΕ but that seems useless to me unless theres some optimization im unaware of?
Nah
No point in tracking them
Its sometimes fun to see 23 same flip cointosses in a row tho
Honestly makes me feel like sonic taking damage lmao
Okay last rotational/talent question I promise
With implacable
If I start a fight and have all three thistle teas left and I'm just not really hungry for energy at all, should I wait until I go through all of my teas and actually need energy to start pooling/letting it drop
Or should I be doing that immediately and proactively
gonna prefire that you're overthinking it and should just send envenom
without having read any of that
Okay so basically just send the envenom until I would actually like to have the energy regen
So wait the CT bugs are a dps gain
you send the envenom until you hit 80 and won't overcap energy by dropping envenom
I feel I left the whispyr video more confused
Got it. Ty
if you can drop envenom and get free energy, you would
yes
So talents change again for M+
no
We just spam CT more?
kinda not really
we were already spamming CT plenty hard by hitting everything with bleeds
If everything has bleeds, we go into FoK or keep pressing CT?
you fok
Okay so yea, doesnt really change than.
correct
Can we talk about algethar puzzle box taking us out of stealth being annoying af? You would think it would be good to use before the pull but like wow it's inconvenient
that's what the pin says
it's not good to use before the pull
Missed the pin mb T.T
i watched your new vid, while waking up in bed, hope you stay strong Whispyr, sending all the love and mental fortitude
all gucci
I just want one patch where I don't have to deal with insano bugs

When are you using it? I have been using it right before deathmark but I was thinking of moving it to before pull because that's what other melee classes often do, woops
