#

basically equal overall and sub does poopoo boss damage

coral pivot
#

Imo, sub is more reliable for prog because of it's damage profile but that comes down to preference

coral ibex
#

i think people only come to that conclusion because burst specs look better when you wipe early

coral pivot
#

Sub, however, is a lot more tanky than assa

golden loom
#

I mean rogue in raid is just tanky

#

so wouldnt put too much into that

coral ibex
#

how do you figure sub is a lot more tanky than assa

coral pivot
#

There's still a big difference between assa and sub

coral pivot
coral ibex
#

ok but you're not pressing dance as a defensive

coral pivot
#

No, but if I am passively taking less damage than a different spec, then I am tankier than the other spec

analog field
#

you are not dying in raid

coral ibex
#

not if the temporary tankiness occurs when no damage happens

coral pivot
#

But you use quite a lot of shadow dances

analog field
#

assa is not dying in raid

#

literally the tankiest spec after dk

noble nova
#

dying in this raid is funny i wont lie. its not like previous ones

coral ibex
#

the data shows sub rogues die more often

noble nova
#

dying in this raid is somewhat intentional

coral ibex
#

by %

#

so 10% dr on dance doesn't appear to make them any more tanky than assa

analog field
#

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

fresh kelp
#

i think ppl should probably also be playing ephemeral bond on a couple fights

coral pivot
#

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

royal lantern
#

....huh

coral pivot
#

And assa falls off harder for bad presses

royal lantern
#

man, those last 10min have some WILD takes

analog field
#

for sure sub is more punishing than assa

sonic zinc
#

just prog outlaw, u get punished for pressing buttons

coral pivot
#

Pretty sure my guild would have benched me just for playing outlaw

#

Except for during splits

sonic zinc
#

exactly

wooden grotto
#

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.

royal lantern
#

bro, imp. garrote is doing jack shit

coral ibex
#

idk i think its really easy to do more dps on assa than sub as long as prio targets don't instantly blow up

sonic zinc
#

depends on key levels

#

at lower keys sub will do more and sin will do less

#

bc mobs live longer at higher keys

coral pivot
#

imp garrote is more of a "it feels bad" rather than actually making a huge difference

wooden grotto
#

its easier than shuriken storm and black powder spam?!?

analog field
#

also how do you only get 2 stealths

coral pivot
#

Well, assa does the same just CT to spread bleeds and then FOK, envenom spam

sonic zinc
#

what key level were u at

analog field
#

even in runs when tank doesnt want to le met stealth

coral pivot
#

And those big adds get bonked to death

coral ibex
#

ok so in this 17 maisara caverns i did 158k overall and i had 8.5% uptime on improved garrote

analog field
#

i get like half of the pulls

coral ibex
wooden grotto
#

12's and to answer the other questions was vanish

sonic zinc
#

sin doesnt do shit in 12s

#

u need mobs to live long for absolute giga sin value

wooden grotto
#

ah ill keep to sub then

coral pivot
#

It does better in lower keys just because it's front loaded

sonic zinc
#

mobs die so fast in 12s sin doesnt get any value

wooden grotto
#

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.

sonic zinc
#

yea

#

they see casual popping 1mil per pack

frosty cedar
sonic zinc
#

and lack the context

#

context being 19s

#

not 12s

cobalt tangle
#

is vanish + imp garrote much better than playing imp poisons lethal dose and poison bomb? even delaying vanish for the 2min mark?

frosty cedar
#

improved poisons is pretty bad

#

are you talking about raid, m+?

cobalt tangle
#

raid

frosty cedar
#

you do take lethal dose in the raid cleave build I believe?

#

as well as imp garrote

cobalt tangle
#

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

frosty cedar
#

yeah lots of bugs were fixed

#

like deathmark not actually doubling bleeds on sims

#

so imp gar is a lot better now

royal lantern
coral pivot
# frosty cedar im not sure what your saying here, are you saying that bad players will do worse...

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

royal lantern
#

they get 1 or 2 packs where its a shity puull and go "wtf i can never stealth"

#

same story for 10 years now kekman

wooden grotto
#

keep waiting for the 'more than 3 pack'

cobalt tangle

coral pivot
frosty cedar
#

its less that your losing a cast of vanish but your opener has the imp gar in deathmark which is great

coral pivot
#

And I play both just to be confident in both

analog field
#

if you fuck up dances on sub you do 0 dmg

golden loom
#

@frosty cedar are you gonna play sudden demise on dragons next clear? garf

analog field
#

assa even afk for some seconds nothing happens

golden loom
burnt lotus
#

hey friends u use puzzlebox b4 deathmark right

golden loom
#

surely the void orbs are filtered out soon

burnt lotus
#

also how do y'all pump on cosmos? the boss feels so rough for us

coral pivot
analog field
#

no it is not

burnt lotus
#

hc

#

we're reclearing and my damage just sucks

#

mythic is far away

frosty cedar
# burnt lotus hc

it depends on timers really but my general strategy for hc cosmos is

  1. dm + kb first add
  2. swap to second add, KB when its low if KB comes up, if not, KB third add
  3. in intermission hug alleria near the end
  4. garrote her just before she knocks you up, shadowstep down, vanish imp gar, rupture, then CT onto her and alleria before alleria jumps away
  5. DM + KB on alleria, CT adds
  6. 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

burnt lotus
#

dude I'm not even running CT lmao thank you so much for this

#

extremely helpful

#

love u ❀️

frosty cedar
#

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

burnt lotus
#

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

frosty cedar
#

you gotta be quick with it, she jumps away in like 3 globals

analog field
#

yeah ct is weird

acoustic cypress
#

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?

frosty cedar
#

nope, spatter can only be on one at a time

#

so just focus one guy

acoustic cypress
#

Makes sense, most if not all your nature damage comes from your rotation and not your bleeds

frosty cedar
#

correct, bleeds arent nature so πŸ˜„

acoustic cypress
#

so if you switch targets nothing is procing splatter but poisons and envenom

coral ibex
#

he's right

frosty cedar
#

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 OMEGAKEKW

I’ve been learning assassination (usually play sub), which raid bosses is assa decent at? I want some good practice but I don’t want to gimp myself.

narrow nymph
#

what u guys consider as good stats % for m+ like how much crit / haste

#

prolly mastery too

coral ibex
#

whatever raidbots says does the most damage

tyty. I was looking through lorrgs and it looks like dps is pretty similar. Excited to try assa on paladins!

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/

gilded oasis
#

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

shell crater
#

gotcha

#

appreciate it

gilded oasis
#

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

marble wadi
#

can we break fixate from boss on vorasious

guys anyone know if will wowanalyzer ever be updated for assa rogue in midnight? if not there is a similar tool to use ?

pastel seal

I assume there's no way to macro Blindside's Ambushes into a Mutlilate macro, right?

spice surge
#

You dont need to, the game does that automatically

viscid spear

Now to vibe until Tuesday

pastel seal
#

Ah gotcha, thanks. Should have given it a go before asking

flint marsh
#

just did a whole 13 on my alt with no poisons on, how much more damage should I expect to do with poisons

normal mist
#

A lot more

#

You did no kb / envenom DMG

#

So no caustic as well basically

deep latch
#

Anyone having issue where garrote is not applying mark?

spice surge
#

It wont apply the mark if you already have a mark up elsewhere

#

Or if the game thinks you have a mark up elsewhere

deep latch
#

oh so many a world bug?

spice surge
#

Well the first thing i posted isnt a bug

#

Thats intended

deep latch
#

I get that but if my mark applied to a mob evading in egypt

spice surge
#

Ye then you are fucked

orchid pewter
#

ladies and gentlemen we are on the board

spice surge
#

In 2 weeks with .5 you get a button to move your mark though, so that should alleviate most of the issues

real pike
#

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

versed mica
#

Yeah I've noticed that sometimes it only spreads one of your two bleeds, it's really odd

analog field
#

if there are other mobs it could

versed mica
#

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

humble verge

#

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?

quaint dragon
humble verge
#

because you can have permadots and do more damage overall as sin than sub

weak isle
#

so deffo worth practising 3 target rotation for that boss prog?

humble verge
#

tbf

analog field
#

good thing about sub is durability on this fight

humble verge
#

if you are already playing sub and doing well

#

i would just keep playing it

weak isle
#

idm the swap

analog field
#

also it is like 2.5 bosses

weak isle
#

i've played sin

humble verge
#

changing up and going assa isnt gonna improve anything

analog field
#

so it is borderline

humble verge
#

if you arent like already on par with sub on it in terms of damage, survivability, doing mechanics, uptime

weak isle
#

we start progging next raid so nothing is on par

#

maybe gear

#

actually, gear could fk it up. might just ignore sin KEKW

balmy condor
#

I think sub is genuinely so shit at 3 target that it doesn't matter

weak isle
#

i hate sub on 3 target

balmy condor
#

so does blizzard

weak isle
#

and we love blizzard

pulsar coral
#

sims are telling me to regem everything master/crit, is that due to the new sim fixes

weak isle
#

we've come full circle

spice surge
#

Good thing subs aoe was nerfed by 25% after m0

#

So its not good on 3 targets

royal lantern
pulsar coral
#

a solid 1% if i do all my gems

analog field
#

if it is for m+ sounds reasonable

pulsar coral
#

yes

analog field
#

but Idt it is worth the money

#

and then on raid you need crit haste probably

pulsar coral
#

im guessing it's because mastery is weighted more because of internal bleeding now

#

being spread

analog field
#

you have puzzlebox?

pulsar coral
#

yep i do

balmy condor
#

mastery is also just good in aoe

pulsar coral
#

guess ill regem on raid nights πŸ€”

analog field
#

I mean regemming only for m+ and losing in raid dmg is not worth it imo

balmy condor
#

or just boss damage

analog field
#

also wasting 20k gold or 50 isn't worth it πŸ˜›

balmy condor
#

like it ain't that serious idk

pulsar coral
#

muh key parses

balmy condor
#

dungeonslice is a suggestion more than anything

#

all dungeon sims are whack

#

i hate it

pulsar coral
#

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

balmy condor
#

yeh the bug is really dumb

solar wyvern
#

They should instead no nerf ib and instead buff canny strikes by a small number

#

Say 10% crit

#

Thoughts whispyr???

#

:^)

balmy condor
#

I think they should fix the bug

pulsar coral
#

they should turn assassination into the rogue healing spec

weak isle
pulsar coral
#

what's really crazy is how much outlaw sucks at vanguard

brave gyro
humble verge
#

zac is being forced to play sub

#

over outlaw

analog field
#

on which boss?

humble verge
#

alleria

analog field
#

he said he would

#

i mean he is not forced

#

he just doesn't wanna grief

humble verge
#

i mean its probably gonna be better

#

p1 burst is insane, im hitting like 450k in p1 at times

#

before we go intermission

you have how many intermissions in mythic ?

2?

#

do you want to avoid dropping implacable during kingsbane or doesnt change much?

balmy condor
#

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

rapid dust
#

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 πŸ™

balmy condor
#

!implac

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

rapid dust
#

thank you @balmy condor

balmy condor

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.

i watched pugs manage to deplete a 10 xenas

earnest remnant
#

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)

waxen oyster
solar wyvern
#

I havent done enough assa on that fight, does boss keep bleeds during intermission?

waxen oyster
#

is assa even better on any boss

waxen oyster
#

besides paladins

earnest remnant
#

iirc it does

solar wyvern
#

Oh i c

#

Then doomblade is probably fine

#

Well hmm.

#

Yeah probably

earnest remnant
#

i have some cook rdy for next week that ill see how performs

keen spruce
#

stealthi more like... smellthi amirite

earnest remnant
#

piss off frog

waxen oyster
#

What boss is this for even

solar wyvern
#

My cook is that the less gcds in the burn u press a bleed button the better

#

So ct is good for that

earnest remnant
#

so sub is even better 0 bleed buttons

solar wyvern
#

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

earnest remnant
#

but i also cant even play puzzle box for more burst

#

as my soak in p1 is demonic

solar wyvern
#

My soak is out of intermission, with the wall of balls

earnest remnant
#

mine is 18 sec into the fight

solar wyvern
#

Oh the cringe one

earnest remnant
#

so as sub i can just dance on pull

#

do my soak

#

go back to boss and press blades

solar wyvern
#

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

earnest remnant
#

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

solar wyvern
#

Yall should take adds into p1 egg

earnest remnant
#

dont think i really need to pool all that much

#

after the HP nerf

solar wyvern
#

Hunter dps gain + practice for 2nd egg

#

Thats what we're gonna be progging for on monday iirc

earnest remnant
#

we did speed run some prog

solar wyvern
#

2nd egg?

#

Or just beeg burn

earnest remnant
#

2nd egg with pretty much all alive

#

into insta missed kick

solar wyvern
#

Haha no way

earnest remnant
#

xD

solar wyvern
#

Thats good proggers tho

earnest remnant
#

we got to p2

#

on our first pull

solar wyvern
#

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

earnest remnant
#

it is yes

solar wyvern
#

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

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?

CT and other Bugs

Welcome to the clown show garf 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.

maybe theyll release a buff to counteract it xD

no

can you please elaborate on the benefits of fok > ct? other than energy cost i guess

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

Did you say apex?

#

!implac

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

he's actually blind

How else would he be able to xla me

he just emotes in braille and it converts obviously

you can set it faster weird

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

Hi everyone, how are you?

I hope you're all well πŸ™‚

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.

jaunty sky
#

Then i bought that razer keypad thing

#

And hated it

balmy condor
#

like idk why you're pressing CT 3x in a row here, or why there's a mutilate, or a shiv

jaunty sky
#

So i didnt spend 300 bucks to hold hands

balmy condor
#

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

distant reef
balmy condor
#

if you get some low % kills and don't fix anything, you'd probably end up alongside the paladin

fallen charm
#

I hate having execute cause of that, if you wipe before execute, it just seems like you suck at doing damage

distant reef
#

Thats my goal, currently i'm parsing 10/20 πŸ™

balmy condor
#

well currently you're wiping

#

so the parses are irrelevant

#

wipe log parses don't mean shit

#

and you're also not in execute

fiery mauve
#

i cant believe the crimson tempest modifiers

#

what the

balmy condor
#

so like, a little more awareness of what generator you're using, not messing up your vanish

fallow canopy
#

where's the camera

#

When I get to the execution phase, what should I prioritize?

and you're going to be fine

you play the same

this bench arc is killing me, I've had to play 3 CS2 matches in a row and I'm about to lose it πŸ₯€

#

To be honest, I wasn't aware that Assassination had an execute; I never really delved too deeply into that spec.

balmy condor
#

it's kinda the big selling point

frosty cloud
#

Does dragon tempered blades reduce all poison chances or just the second applied poison

balmy condor
#

all

#

it's a global reduction

distant reef
balmy condor
#

that is how that talent works

solar wyvern
#

It may even increase by 30%!

half egret
#

what kinda macro yall use for tricks?

severe sparrow
#

Hmm 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?

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?

balmy condor
fallen charm
#

this is insane

#

I imagine how bonkers it is on a huge pull

balmy condor
#

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

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.

balmy condor
#

vorasius, crown

#

lura

burnt ember
#

That makes sense, I mean I guess the adds are so short lived you couldn't squeeze much damage out of them anyway?

balmy condor
#

you can argue for caustic/ct on those fights technically since it's so low cost to take though

burnt ember
#

What are you giving up primarily to take caustic?

#

Imp. poisons I'd guess?

balmy condor
#

yep

#

imp poison and then razor wire/doomblade

burnt ember
#

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

balmy condor
#

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

burnt ember
#

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

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)

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

balmy condor
#

gonna prefire that you're overthinking it and should just send envenom

#

without having read any of that

burnt ember
#

LOL

#

You're probably right

balmy condor
#

yeah I was right

#

you don't track tea at all

#

doesn't matter

burnt ember
#

Okay so basically just send the envenom until I would actually like to have the energy regen

crude helm
#

So wait the CT bugs are a dps gain

balmy condor
#

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

if you can drop envenom and get free energy, you would

If everything has bleeds, we go into FoK or keep pressing CT?
