I know this gets asked once a week but im just being hopeful

#

Wow thanks riot

#

Blizz*

balmy condor
#

it was one of the main ways that raid weakauras used to transfer information around

vital flicker
#

Tbf I never see IB doing much damage in high target cap pulls (in practice) like the first one of AA, and there it only did 2.7% for the SD guy, so Canny strikes is probably pretty competitive on a pull like that

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean it's still worse though, 2.7% when canny gives 2%

#

it's not like you're needing any of the resources from the crits

#

pretty close to as raw of a 2% gain as you can get

vital flicker
#

Maybe that guy is just really unlucky on crits

#

Needs the extra 2%

balmy condor
#

I'm comparing tick damage and like, the math adds up

#

it's 10% more for the sd guy per tick

#

roughly

vital flicker
#

15 targets hits FoK gets 1 cp

balmy condor
#

shrugEg I can't find anything here

#

dtb guy ain't spreadin but the damage per tick is the same, it's just not getting super degened idk

#

back to work with my ass

#

shareholders need their value

vital flicker
#

Realistically you are probably robbing yourself of funnel damage on the big flowers by taking SD

#

Kinda griefing yourself at that point

balmy condor
#

yeh I mean there's plenty of esoteric reasons why SD is bad

spice surge
#

If only SD worked with singular focus so i could snipe all the funnel before everybody else

balmy condor
#

or if it worked with crit

vital flicker
#

Which is why despite loving SD and playing it in keys I probably shouldn't, I don't reccomend it. Unless you are a random korean player progging lightblinded vanguard

balmy condor
#

it's just a lot of wasted damage

spice surge
balmy condor
#

I'm a fan of bleed/dot builds, bleed in s3 was cool even if it did awful st

#

but I'm a bigger fan of good builds than I am of thematic builds

vital flicker
balmy condor
#

one of my biggest issues with deathstalker lowkey is that it's big envenom, when fatebound is also big envenom

#

one of them should've been a bleed hero talent

spice surge
#

We need a tierset or something that makes KB into a bleed so we can truly demisemaxx

vital flicker
#

My biggest problem with deathstalker is that fatebound still has more bleed damage despite what you would think

high dust
balmy condor
#

yeah I mean deathstalker imo feels more like sub than assa

vital flicker
#

Also clear the witnesses not working for CT makes it feel so bad to press since FoK does so much damage for near half the cost

balmy condor
#

but deathstalker was an opportunity to make a rupture hero talent

#

and they just

#

didn't

high dust
#

True

#

Now sub doesnt even have rupture

balmy condor
#

yeah surely they knew that when they designed deathstalker and simply avoided it

#

blizzard is just two steps ahead

#

"man I'd love to design a rupture based hero talent, but I know in 2 years time sub won't have rupture, what a shame"

haughty flicker
#

hands are tied

high dust
#

"time to copy what fb did" garf_sit

balmy condor
#

could've been a dot instead of a mark

#

deathstalker's curse

#

what do I know

#

I'm not creative like blizzard

high dust
#

So...deathmark 2.0

balmy condor
#

rupture 2.0 I guess

high dust
#

Deathmark makes double rupture
Deathstalker's curse??? TRIPLE RUPTURE

loud light
#

isn't half the problem that they have to find something that works with sub too

#

"works"

balmy condor
#

not really

vital flicker
#

But what if they just made deathstalker unviable for sin rogue so they would stop complaining about swapping mark

#

Oh wait

balmy condor
#

you can just slap it on the shadow clones and call it a day

#

"your shadow clone attacks now apply"

#

"your shadow clones copy"

#

they made sub an empty canvas

balmy condor
#

can you really can just slap anything on there and call it a shadow clone effect

spice surge
#

Yet it will never work

#

As intended

high dust
#

Shadow clone might as well make you a cup of coffe

loud light
#

spec into deathstalker and you just get nightblade back

#

got 'em

balmy condor
#

unironically less cringe than the mark

viscid spear
#

!up

spice surge
#

Most of the issue i had with rupture on sub was spreading it and pressing it more than assa

#

Felt strange

#

Nightblade being locked to a singletarget doesnt feel nearly as bad imo, but shrugeg

gray raven
#

Our hero trees are so lackluster, they need to cook with some compelling gameplay for each that are both worth playing. Everyone playing one is such bad design

high dust
#

if only it was the hero trees...

balmy condor
#

idk if the hero talents need more gameplay

Assassination Stats
You will always get more accurate results using Raidbots Top Gear, as stat values will flucuate depending on gear and situation.

Agility (Item level) > Crit > Haste > Mastery >>>> Vers
The ratio between secondaries ends up being roughly 40/33/26/1

balmy condor
#

assa has enough gameplay as is

high dust
#

im ok with them being passive

#

but gimme flavour atleast

balmy condor
#

assa's problem is that the gameplay isn't rewarding enough

#

sub's problem is that the gameplay is deep only because there's endless jank

high dust
#

except with blindside

#

blindside is fun. I like the sound of it

vital flicker
#

Deathstalkers mark is too much flavour, I just want to be able to swap it without giving up my left nut

high dust
gray raven
#

I liked the idea of one tree being more bleed focused.

balmy condor
#

I don't have a problem knowing where my damage comes from, but all the things I'm thinking about on sub are "oh that's a bug I need to abuse" or "oh right, the apex is really whacky, I gotta do some weird shit to play around that"

#

the thinking part is tacked on via jank

#

not because the spec itself has something to think about

stiff fern
#

As is tradition

balmy condor
#

assa on the other hand is like

#

there's things to think about

#

and they don't fucking matter

#

the interplay between CT and fok and when to use one vs the other

#

genuinely an interesting thing they could do

#

they didn't though garf_sit

high dust
#

and with that bug

balmy condor
#

or implacable, great idea, pooling as a staple, that's even their stated goal, managing resources

#

the puzzle piece is there

high dust
#

with CT reapplying ...whatever its called

balmy condor
#

but it's so pitifully rewarding

high dust
#

i feel like spamming CT feels better still

balmy condor
#

that it just kinda falls flat

#

assa has all the pieces for interesting gameplay, but they're not expanded on

spice surge
vital flicker
#

The way they have FoK and CT now just feels like I have 2 keybinds that do practically the same thing

spice surge
#

Phenomenal design

balmy condor
#

sub has a blank slate of things to expand on at some point later, but the depth is held together with duct tape

stiff fern
#

I do think it's kinda weird CT does a bunch of damage

#

I had assumed the intent was for CT to be entirely intended to spread bleeds

#

When they made the change from what it used to be

gray raven
#

I think it’s benefiting from mastery

balmy condor
#

it's doing a lot of shit

#

it's tuned really high, it's affected by mastery and related "bleed%" increases

#

it's spreading internal bleeding for god knows what fucking reason

stiff fern
#

In my mind optimal play would involve pressing CT as little as possible.

#

As fok should be whats more powerful

spice surge
gray raven
#

If you look at wowtoxic’s parses they are more CT casts than FOK. So you’re spamming it in aoe when you have the energy

balmy condor
#

venomous wounds, scent of blood

spice surge
#

Would much rather it spread internal bleeding as a way to make it more powerful rather than the hits just doing more damage

balmy condor
#

etc etc

stiff fern
#

Right right, ageee

vital flicker
#

If CT didn't do damage it would feel so bad. CT just feels like it doesn't spread bleeds fast enough for how expensive it is, i wish it doubled everytime instead of just hitting 2

stiff fern
#

Ehh, it's power comes from one global spreading bleeds

balmy condor
#

if they cut the damage out and made it spread to 3 I think it would be fair

stiff fern
#

It needs to do some damage but it shouldn't ever compete with fok for damage

balmy condor
#

but like, if it spread to 5 or something

#

then it's just ct once every 30 seconds

#

might as well just go back to the days of IC as a button

#

and make it a cd

high dust
stiff fern
#

That came outa nowhere lol

high dust
#

Lit.

balmy condor
#

if you ignore it, it'll go away

#

maybe

#

idk

stiff fern
#

I will say that sudden demise build im enjoying thoroughly as I gear up

high dust
#

sudden demise should be baseline. i said it.

stiff fern
#

Having blindside in a keys build feels awesome

shell crater
#

Is anyone else having consistency issues?

#

Currently pulling salhadaar getting sub 25%, some pulls im pumping others im literally low blue lol

high dust
midnight mist
#

wow is an rng game

balmy condor
#

salhadaar is very reliant on your tanks having the orbs close enough as well

#

but yeh, there is a lot of rng

stiff fern
#

Ambush op

balmy condor
#

if your tanks get skittish and decide they're gonna drag the boss away on an orb spawn

#

gg

#

there goes your damage

midnight mist
#

i do less damage every week

#
  • 5 ilvl per week

#

I got parry twice in opener on paladin kill today, it was nuts

midnight mist
#

parry has been great this season

balmy condor
midnight mist
#

with that dragon boss always facing you

midnight mist
balmy condor
#

you should take some lessons from that tomelvis guy, he seems really good at outlaw

vital flicker
#

I tried to talk to a tank about parry and they tried to tell me it doesn't matter for dps

midnight mist
#

will ask him

waxen oyster
#

he needs lessons from tompelvis

verbal sable
#

I giga blasted that pull but i lost so much in opener

vital flicker
verbal sable
#

Btw I was wondering how we play second pot on paladins once the kill timer get lower

#

carefully

I was thinking going down with first group after intermission by accident

does it matter atp

#

boss is free

as long as you dont int severely

calm grail

Golem boss in skyreach

silk whale
#

so Is using a envenom aura cancel macro a good thing for Impacable or nah?

balmy condor
#

no

calm grail
#

Is it safe to dip in and out of the beam?

#

Or just pray and heal?

balmy condor
#

if you dip out it insta ticks the boss

calm grail
#

Ahh

#

Does Feint mitigate at all?

waxen oyster
#

only with elusivenes

calm grail
#

If not, just vial/cloak if needed and let the healer take the wheel?

balmy condor
#

yeh need elus

vital flicker
balmy condor
#

but you always should take elus

high dust
#

its like the healer takes it personal

waxen oyster
#

yeah healer mains are divas

#

when you tell them to do the job they signed up for

#

they complain

high dust
#

but if u tell them they're doing a bad job...pf, prepare for trouble

vital flicker
#

Whenever I die I just say "one heal????" In case they forgot to give me a heal y'know? Just trying to be helpful

#

how do u guys maintain alts?

calm grail
#

Don't

high dust
#

We dont.

onyx veldt
#

LOL

#

alright then

calm grail
#

Don't want people thinking you're a nerd or something.

onyx veldt
#

i meant if u have a 2nd chara

high dust
#

Having a job makes the alt thing just a dream

earnest remnant
#

play in a guild that requires alt

high dust
#

tho its supposed to be easier this season

earnest remnant
#

and then do raids on it

#

done deal

calm grail
#

That's extra nerdy.

earnest remnant
#

or have friends that do like 10 alt raids for fun each week

calm grail
#

I feel like playing a character well takes enough time that I'd rather not play WoW during the other free time I have.

onyx veldt
#

ill stick to my rogue

earnest remnant
#

think we have like 6-9 runs a week that do 4/6 voidspire mythic as well

rancid crypt
#

do we use ambush, like at all? or can i remove it from my bars?

high dust
#

remove it

#

u just use it on blindside, and then mut change into that

quick question

#

ui can skip last two on magister terrace?

#

not with shroud, but with warlock gate yes

meager latch
#

if you dont mythic raid really and only do keys what dung should be focus on to spend the extra rolls i was thinking AA for box but the rest just be in pit for weapons, neckless, ring, and belt.

balmy condor
#

Pretty much

#

Realistically you should bonus roll pit first and just live with a hero box

#

And then box at the end

#

You’re basically guaranteed to get something usable from pit

indigo mulch
#

Out of curiosity isen't sub and outlaw getting those buffs to trickster going to pull ahead quite hard compared to sin?

shell crater
#

And thats myth Salhadaar down! although I have a question peeps. Got collared by my officers for not doing enough add damage. (I was doing 95% boss damage when apparently clear people are doing 80-85% boss damage), im making a point to spread my bleeds to the big orbs, should I spread to the small ones as well maybe?

#

Seems very energy heavy

okay thank you!! @balmy condor

when you guys do big pulls in first person mode how do you find the mobs

balmy condor
warped moon
#

i play undead aand i have to look up at everything please help

balmy condor
#

And the dead orbs are generally clumped already

shell crater
#

And I assume cos I have more bleeds that'll help with my energy issues?

balmy condor
#

Not really no

#

“Energy issues” is just how the spec is designed

#

That’s on purpose

misty holly
#

I sent them all on boss, as group 2.

glad ferry
gloomy silo
#

Subtlety got a huge buff in the .5 patch... Assassination’s damage is basically unchanged, right?

balmy condor
#

Correct

vital flicker
#

Well we actually got a very amazing, totally overpowered, and unbelievably broken talent that swaps deathmark if you put it on a target that dies too fast (that will definitely always be taken because why wouldn't I want to waste a talent point on that)

coral ibex
#

that buff isnt going to do anything about the fact that sub's gameplay is literally a pile of shit

#

wow very black powder

#

i love spamming 2 buttons

lime onyx
#

We spam 2 buttons too when we’re not putting up our bleeds

#

Coming from someone who loves sin and sub gameplay

coral ibex
#

yes and sub has nothing else whereas assa has bleed upkeep

lime onyx
#

It’s got its own mini games. Minmaxing gcd’s into shadow dance timers, linjng up your ST with add spawns, etc

#

Might not be as enjoyable to you but at least it has some type of depth

coral ibex
#

there is no dance minigame, you either have haste enough to get +1 gcd or you don't

lime onyx
#

if you press buttons perfectly which can be difficult with boss movement and real world stuff

coral ibex
#

i just think sub got significantly less fun tww -> midnight in a way that assa did not

limber granite
warped moon
#

assassination is the #1 first person mode spec though

#

thats what counts

unreal junco
#

ok because someone is swearing it existed last xpac: did tricks have a damage amp at any point in the last couple of xpacs?

coral ibex
#

tricks hasnt had a pve* damage amp since 2014

unreal junco
#

thank you

balmy condor
#

they probably played classic

cunning needle
#

last classic expac of cata pepeGrin

unreal junco
#

no theyre just notoriously wrong about a lot of things, but too stubborn to admit theyre wrong.

balmy condor
#

they'd be perfect in here

#

tell them to join a class discord

unreal junco
#

theyre a ret main

balmy condor
#

oh even better

cunning needle
balmy condor
#

those guys thrive on that

drifting cloud
#

theres a pvp talent iirc

#

oh its in the screenshot nvm

hollow river
unreal junco
#

there is another spell id of tricks on wowhead

#

which is weird since its got patch notes from the start of last xpac

hollow river
#

That one even says pvp talent on the tooltip

#

But that isn’t how the pvp talent works either

#

So who knows

unreal junco
#

weird remnant probably

#

spaghetti code

elder grove
#

Is anyone down to help me with a quick log review? I just killed vora mythic and my damage was garbage

coral ibex
#

did you get a fixate or go to hit the adds

#

thats basically the only thing that can happen to affect your uptime

elder grove
#

I was assigned to tunnel boss but I did get a fixate yah

#

D:

coral ibex
#

you have to save your vanish for fixates

elder grove
#

oh for real? ROFL okay sick

coral ibex
#

yea if you get fixated, vanish after

elder grove
#

k

coral ibex
#

breaks it

elder grove
#

it was like a 24 parse but I spent a lot of time running for adds

#

#

good to know!

unreal junco
#

ok round 2: do rogues bring a damage buff?

balmy condor
#

no

coral ibex
#

no

balmy condor

So we start prog on dragons today, do we try maintain bleeds on both dragons? Or do we keep it like in HC and stay on one?

u reach both so keep bleeds on both

chilly spoke
#

In M+, is it okay to use Envenom with 4 combo points to cycle the damage passive more quickly? Both for single target and AoE? What’s the minimum combo points to use Envenom otherwise?

No, always 5+ for the coins

First raid night, padding wasn't possible, I went full st most bosses with spatter

padding is always possible

#

you just weren't trying hard enough

normal mist
#

Fair

balmy condor

where there is a will, there is a way

normal mist
#

For that I need to ask the 2mm hunters and the elemental shaman to stop padding aswel

#

I don't think they will

#

Anyway it was my first time killing the bosses, average 60+ not bad

#

(I tell to myself, ashamed)

rugged basalt

I had an 86 on a 10% wipe and then proceeded to serve a steaming warm load of a 10ish parse on a kill and you know what I’m happier than patrick star celebrating a 3 point because life is more than getting 4 plate loot

since u always use deathmark w/ kingsbane when its up, is it good dto macro deathmark with cast kingsbane? does that work?

they're both on the gcd

cast sequence macro would do it

so for lethal poisons we use always AMP and Deadly right?

#

and also about fatebound - there is nothing to actually track(and play based on that) and it's fully rng spec?

rugged basalt
#

yes x2

#

I refuse to read on what fatebound even does, I see coins on the ground

spice surge

It's not nearly as rng as you might expect from something flipping a coin

He has videos about the guide?

I play the videos for viewer retention stats

tawny rapids
#

Hey guys, for anyone that has killled crown mythic. Does pre cloak or pre evasion work on immunity for the the breaks p3. I know bubble and stuff works but seeing does it also benifit if I try present some

subtle tundra
#

it doesnt matter cause you dont have a taunt and you cant make it go on you guaranteed

#

so youll just waste your cloak almost every time

tawny rapids
#

But as it’s physical shouldn’t evasion work and I don’t need it anywhere else ?

vague sun
#

While I don't know if it works for that specific mechanic: Generally Evasion does not make you immune to physical effects, it just makes you dodge them. You cannot for example dodge cheapshot, blind or stormbolt even though it is a targeted, physical effect

#

Is it make sense to craft myth weapon on newly created rogue now? I guess from next week we can update any hero weapon?

iron thorn
#

Better even, you can bonus roll on any +10 that drops a dagger and just be lucky

#

(bonusroll on a +10 gives you a myth track item)

quiet star
#

so no reason to craft, got it

#

also bonus roll is rng af

#

so not clear how many rolls we will have

#

but spamming pit of saron is op I guess

iron thorn
#

You’ll have 2 bonusrolls every week

#

Need 1 for dungeons and 2 for raid loot

quiet star
#

omg

iron thorn
#

Play the key with smallest drop pool of which you could use all

#

Then get lucky

#

And it has bad luck protection too because it takes the items you rolled into already out of the bonusroll drop pool

iron thorn
#

Probably the best update to gearing they made recently

balmy condor
#

(It’s gonna be pit, just run pit)

iron thorn
#

I’ll have to hold my roll tho I think. My RL said he wants us to use it on chimaerus

Because gaze is just tooooo good

There is nothing funny about this

iron thorn
#

I lost faith in our LC after someone who didn’t put up a sim in audit got our first hc gaze for just writing BiS in the manual edit

brave gyro
#

I'm sorry to hear that

#

Tbf, I've pug killed Chim every week and have lost every roll, so even if you kill it, it's unknown if it will drop

#

But hopefully you guys get it at least once for vault chance

iron thorn
#

1/4 chance on bonusroll sounds good

#

Soooo

iron thorn
#

Idk the exact bluepost they state it in

#

But kalamazi shows it in his video overview

spare kayak
#

If it has a mythic version ofc

iron thorn
#

We handle it the way that clicking BiS means you won’t unequip this item unless you get it on the higher track

#

Which for gaze is very realistic

spare kayak
#

That's one of the easy mythic trinkets

#

Cause in my guild bis is only mythic items and everything before that is big/small upgrade kek to the w

is it really worth spending like 80 hero crests just to save 20 mythic

yes cause hero crests are worthless

but what do you mean by that

not to noobs like me that aren't full mythic yet

It should only cost you 20 hero though. Because the myth piece lets you upgrade to 5/6

Night time raiding guild for those of us who can't make the commonly used raid times. Nightcap was formed a few weeks into The War Within and is not a guild that will disappear as the tier goes on.

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.

Assassination Stats
You will always get more accurate results using Raidbots Top Gear, as stat values will flucuate depending on gear and situation.

Agility (Item level) > Crit > Haste > Mastery >>>> Vers

Yea I’m just on the line of idk whether I’m not letting it drop enough but then I feel like I’m being too conservative and now I feel like I’m in some kind of no man’s land

#

So I figured for that issue a vid would be better than logs to get help with

subtle tundra
#

it lined up perfectly with your rupture refresh

real pike
#

if you are at 80 implacable stacks and you won't cap energy, let the envenom buff drop

shell crater
subtle tundra
#

you ignore them

#

its not a thing

#

you dont care

#

they just happen

real pike
#

yeah just let teas happen, I guess the 'best' time to use them is if you're somehow at the start of kingsbane and envenom has dropped or is about to and you're low on energy

marsh fjord
#

yo goats

real pike
#

or during execute to pump

#

but you forget about them and they get used naturally

shell crater
#

Like don’t get me wrong I’m not pushing the button

#

But I meant like full sending my abilities so they auto proc to get them on cd

brave gyro
#

I think you were perfect (I'm at work and can't watch the video)

real pike
#

personally I intentionally spam envenom from pull until the first one is used because yanno there's no point sitting there on 3 stacks not using the cooldown

subtle tundra
#

yes thats correct you full send abilities

real pike
#

and if I'm about to cap I'll spam

shell crater
#

Right

real pike
#

other good uses are spamming when adds appear if you're a parse monkey

subtle tundra
#

maybe theres some optimization to use on in the opener

shell crater
#

Don’t get me wrong the parse wasn’t awful I got an 83 if memory serves me right

real pike
#

like CT / envenom spam on dragon adds

subtle tundra
#

so they start regenning

#

and they line up with kb

#

but idk

#

i dont play the game

#

im saying misinformation

real pike
shell crater
#

But I wanna improve on that

real pike
#

parsing especially in this season is about luck and abusing adds

#

sometimes to the detriment of the fight

#

and yes this is cope for my average parses

#

but that doesn't mean it's not true

brave gyro
real pike
#

I've been looking at boss damage more this season especially on fights we're tight to enrage

shell crater

Well I appreciate the responses 🙂

#

ok another dumb crest question

#

upgrading mythic track gear is more efficient crest-for-crest than crafting mythic right?

#

assuming replacing hero and above gear with the craft

coral ibex
#

no its exactly the same, 5/6 myth is 285 and thats what a crafted piece is. crafted costs 80 crests and 4 upgrades costs 80 crests

#

you can save 20 crests by going 6/6 hero if you can first

real pike
#

yeah ok sweet thank you

#

I have a second craft already so just gonna chill and upgrade my mythic pieces

coral ibex

yea thats what i did too

I'm pushing 16s-18s and my boss damage just feels awful

is this just our fate?

same as in tww

ST is really fine

coral ibex

can't relate

not even close to tww

coral ibex
#

have good ST in m+

rustic cosmos
#

what build u using

analog field
#

We drop some talents yes but in 17's where you have DM on pull and DM pot in execute you do very good dmg

coral ibex
#

wowhead build

brave gyro
#

I can't get into groups that finish stuff (16+), but boss damage is not bad

#

On a lot of fights we pop off

#

What specific boss feels bad for you?

#

Also, to be fair, in 16 and higher, tanks should really pull in stuff for funnel

real pike
#

what funnel?

burnt lotus
#

skyreach boss1
pos boss2
MC first two bosses

#

All feel bad

#

maybe it's a skill issue but

#

no tanks funnel in my experience so I've given up on that

brave gyro
#

Skyreach boss I just sending it, not much there (shit boss) .

Pos tank really needs to always have boss on something else so you spread, and double dotting is quite nice

MC first boss similar, double dot, tank moving into bird after it's aoe circle for safe area etc.

real pike
#

do we have funnel in FB??

coral ibex
#

technically no

brave gyro
#

Our whole spec is technically prio dmg

#

You get more boss dmg

worn geyser
#

well yeah, hit fok get more combo point to envenom target

coral ibex
#

its just prio damage not funnel

brave gyro
#

Tomato tomato

#

You do more dmg if they pull stuff on top

coral ibex
worn geyser
#

i mean funnel just means ur gaining prio damage by adding more mobs right

coral ibex
#

damage done to other targets does not get transferred back to your main target

#

which is what funnel is

real pike
#

we had funnel in DS

iron thorn
#

i strictly adhere to what nooj is saying

#

like idk

brave gyro
#

You're just being pedantic

coral ibex
#

no theres a specific difference between funnel and prio

brave gyro
#

We do more boss dmg if we have stuff to aoe

#

That's what I said

worn geyser
#

theres a diff, a class can have big prio damage but not gain prio with more targets right

#

the funnel part is that we actually gain more prio damage with more targets

#

via more CP, venemous wounds, scent etc

iron thorn
#

bring back aldrachi reaver havoc

#

that was sick funnel

coral ibex
#

the only aspect of fb that gains you more prio damage with more targets is scent

brave gyro
#

The result is the same, you guys really argue for the sake of arguing xD

coral ibex
#

fok over mut in aoe is just acceleration

#

and theres a difference between acceleration and funnel

#

the envenoms don't do any more damage without more scent stacks

worn geyser
#

that definitely is pedantic, you do more dps with more targets to the prio target

#

= funnel

brave gyro
#

^

analog field
brave gyro
#

The point of all this was to help Mallooki with boss dmg in M+, and you argue semantics

coral ibex
#

are you the semantics police?

#

i already answered their question

analog field
#

But also it is not his fault if tanks don't pull adds

#

So there is nothing to fix there

brave gyro
#

No, you're just being petty and not actually helping anyone

analog field
#

We have a very good st dmg profile

coral ibex
#

bro you need to chill, i just like talking about the differences between words

analog field
#

Especially with having like 2.5-3 min boss fights

coral ibex
#

im not being petty

#

you'd know if i was being petty

quasi ingot
coral ibex
#

that probably has worse ST

worn geyser
#

our single target now at least isnt as bad as it was with the DS build in keys before, i dont think its great tho just kinda average

analog field
#

It's very rare someone surpasses us

#

apart from like 2 broken classes or something

#

I rarely do less st than others

#

the low cleave is where they surpass us

real pike
#

it's important to be pedantic when different words mean different things

#

otherwise we'd end up with nobody knowing what anyone was saying

lime edge
#

You do also have way more combo points and energy when there's mobs

burnt lotus
#

Sorry for a point of reference this is the build I'm running

#

Which is the wowhead one I think?

coral ibex
#

yea looks right

real pike
#

but funnel is a very specific word in WoW mechanics

coral ibex
#

i mean sometimes you just have bad luck and low roll crit and have to mutilate way more for cp

#

but our single target is way better in m+ build this season than last

real pike
coral ibex
#

agreed

brave gyro
real pike
#

that's like saying aoe is indirect st to multiple targets

brave gyro
#

Just becuae there is no one-to-one dmg transfer

brave gyro
real pike
#

the damage transfer is literally what funnel is though

lime edge
#

I dont think too many classes actually get a damage boost from there being mobs

real pike
#

nooj said it already that getting more damage indirectly from more mobs is called acceleration

lime edge
#

Its not every class atleast

brave gyro
#

Let's not pretend that if it was said "you pull more mobs to have higher energy regen, agility buff from dots, and more finishers casted" instead of funnel, you wouldve contributed to the question asked

coral ibex
#

thats how interactions work

real pike
#

if I said "you pull more mobs to have more acceleration which leads to more ST damage" I would have contributed to the question and been correct at the same time

brave gyro
#

Ah, but becuae of your morals you ignored Mallooki's request

#

Out of principle

#

Go you

coral ibex
#

huh?

real pike
#

you need to calm down lad

coral ibex
#

what is bro talking about

real pike
#

what has it got to do with morals lmfao

#

nobody got ignored, it's just a discussion

brave gyro
#

It was sarcastic

real pike
#

which is what this channel is, spec discussion

#

who was sarcastic

wintry vapor
#

I am confused.

coral ibex
#

i appreciate that you don't think the difference between acceleration and funnel matters, but it isn't something to get upset about

#

i'm not trying to like

#

beat you down in conversation

#

we just disagree

worn geyser
#

i kinda see what yall are saying but that definition seems weird, intuitively when you think of funnel it means adding more mobs = more prio damage, and not only specifically something like singular focus

real pike
#

it's like a keyword

worn geyser
#

where is it in the blizzard dictionary

real pike
#

for me personally, I wouldn't want to leave a conversation thinking we have a mechanic that we don't

How can i see the new uptates u guys talked about? Also iam 267 ilvl need to craft legs should i save it or what someone said u shouldnt craft?

real pike

I prefer to be clear

real pike
vast shuttle
coral ibex
#

craft 285 dagger asap

real pike
#

legs is generally avoided as a craft because it has more stats than other slots, and max level mythic gear has more stats than crafted gear

recraft*

but that's only if you're doing mythic content

vast shuttle

#

Also i started playing lock,mage and it is far more easier gameplay

worn geyser
# real pike I prefer to be clear

I suppose but if a tank or someone asks you 'yo do u want funnel for xyz boss' if u go uhm actually rogue doesnt have funnel its called 'acceleration 🤓 ' theyre just not gonna ask u ever again even tho it would benefit the key by giving u more boss damage

rustic cosmos

I somehow doubt that lock is easier to play than assassination, but it's probably just a subjective thing

guys one quick question do we still vanish pre deathmark? to use the improve garrote?

and there's a difference between asking that in a rogue discord and asking it mid dungeon

ty folks

real pike

np

echo fox

real pike
sacred oyster
#

@echo fox the snapshot bug was fixed, you dont need to vanish unless your first imp gar has expired and wanting to refresh it mid fight

#

in m+ if the tank has chain pulled and your effectively in a new pack where you didnt get to re-stealth thats a time you would vanish

real pike
#

yup or if you're doing first pull in a higher key and the imp gar drops off everything where it still has like half health or more left

#

you can send it then

high dust
#

If I refresh midfight does It maintain that 50% dmg bonus?

coral ibex
#

no

#

well, refresh after a vanish, yes

#

otherwise no

high dust
#

Oh okok. I understood something else, reading IS hard

coral ibex
#

and if you pandemic imp gar with a regular gar before it expires you lose the bonus damage from the last few seconds

high dust
#

So...better to let It expire?

coral ibex
#

you have to let imp garrote expire unless you are refreshing with new imp gar by vanishing

#

yes

real pike
#

although you can send gar with like 1 second left and it's not gonna be a massive difference

high dust
#

That I didnt know, good to know

coral ibex
#

as soon as you pandemic it, you lose the bonus damage

real pike
#

for instance you'd rather refresh it early than cap energy or something

harsh ravine
#

lowkey outlaw will be hotfixed after the buff ? don't you think so ?

echo fox

btw may ik why people use it afterwards?

#

if the right thing is to use it pre

#

am talking about the 2nd one

harsh ravine
#

imo

echo fox
#

kk

harsh ravine
#

but the "right play" depends on the context, it's better to build more and spend more cp on envenoms than sending 1 gcd of garrot during cds

echo fox
runic hinge
harsh ravine
#

so you do your improved garrot, then envenom, then cds

#

and you cast algethar trinket before the envenom

You can add any ilvl

unless just typing 298 or is it 294 for crafted in?

Yes

294 for crafted

If u type 298 and click that didnt work for me

But presumably raidbots will add some support for the cores

I like this more, getting gear is fun.

Gating stuff like mounts and titles is better
