it was one of the main ways that raid weakauras used to transfer information around
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
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
I'm comparing tick damage and like, the math adds up
it's 10% more for the sd guy per tick
roughly
15 targets hits FoK gets 1 cp
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
Realistically you are probably robbing yourself of funnel damage on the big flowers by taking SD
Kinda griefing yourself at that point
yeh I mean there's plenty of esoteric reasons why SD is bad
If only SD worked with singular focus so i could snipe all the funnel before everybody else

or if it worked with crit
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
it's just a lot of wasted damage
Ye it not working with crit really sucks.
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
It is just really hard to argue with the numbers, especially the numbers that matter for timing keys
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
We need a tierset or something that makes KB into a bleed so we can truly demisemaxx
My biggest problem with deathstalker is that fatebound still has more bleed damage despite what you would think
Fatebound feels more outlaw than assa, so it's weird
yeah I mean deathstalker imo feels more like sub than assa
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
but deathstalker was an opportunity to make a rupture hero talent
and they just
didn't
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"
"time to copy what fb did" 
could've been a dot instead of a mark
deathstalker's curse

what do I know
I'm not creative like blizzard
So...deathmark 2.0
rupture 2.0 I guess
Deathmark makes double rupture
Deathstalker's curse??? TRIPLE RUPTURE
isn't half the problem that they have to find something that works with sub too
"works"
not really
But what if they just made deathstalker unviable for sin rogue so they would stop complaining about swapping mark
Oh wait
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
can you really can just slap anything on there and call it a shadow clone effect
Shadow clone might as well make you a cup of coffe
unironically less cringe than the mark
!up
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 
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
if only it was the hero trees...
idk if the hero talents need more gameplay

assa has enough gameplay as is
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
Deathstalkers mark is too much flavour, I just want to be able to swap it without giving up my left nut
playing sub this season for a while felt like I was just spamming buttons not knowing where my dmg came from
I liked the idea of one tree being more bleed focused.
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
As is tradition
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 
and with that bug
or implacable, great idea, pooling as a staple, that's even their stated goal, managing resources
the puzzle piece is there
with CT reapplying ...whatever its called
but it's so pitifully rewarding
i feel like spamming CT feels better still
that it just kinda falls flat
assa has all the pieces for interesting gameplay, but they're not expanded on
Me when i spec out of a dps talent because its a DPS loss to even take it compared to having literally nothing
The way they have FoK and CT now just feels like I have 2 keybinds that do practically the same thing
Phenomenal design
sub has a blank slate of things to expand on at some point later, but the depth is held together with duct tape
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
I think it’s benefiting from mastery
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
In my mind optimal play would involve pressing CT as little as possible.
As fok should be whats more powerful
Tbh i feel like it should do that
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
in my mind CT is there to enable the effects, and the effects themselves are the driving force of why you would press it
venomous wounds, scent of blood
Would much rather it spread internal bleeding as a way to make it more powerful rather than the hits just doing more damage
etc etc
Right right, ageee
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
Ehh, it's power comes from one global spreading bleeds
if they cut the damage out and made it spread to 3 I think it would be fair
It needs to do some damage but it shouldn't ever compete with fok for damage
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
please dont
That came outa nowhere lol
Lit.
I will say that sudden demise build im enjoying thoroughly as I gear up
sudden demise should be baseline. i said it.
Having blindside in a keys build feels awesome
Is anyone else having consistency issues?
Currently pulling salhadaar getting sub 25%, some pulls im pumping others im literally low blue lol
blindside is the reason im enjoying chim's build on open world
wow is an rng game
salhadaar is very reliant on your tanks having the orbs close enough as well
but yeh, there is a lot of rng
Ambush op
if your tanks get skittish and decide they're gonna drag the boss away on an orb spawn
gg
there goes your damage
I got parry twice in opener on paladin kill today, it was nuts
parry has been great this season
yeah but that's just cause you're washed surely
with that dragon boss always facing you
ye prolly
you should take some lessons from that tomelvis guy, he seems really good at outlaw
I tried to talk to a tank about parry and they tried to tell me it doesn't matter for dps
will ask him
he needs lessons from tompelvis
I giga blasted that pull but i lost so much in opener
Its actually a secret outlaw nerf each week, so that it only feels like a buff next week when in reality you are getting kept in the same spot
Btw I was wondering how we play second pot on paladins once the kill timer get lower
true i forgot we also got a 4% buff
carefully
in between these logs
It is hard to get higher logs every week
in between the eyes and the logs
is dslice good for assass sims?
mobs melting so quickly
yes
How do you parse on chim when you are second group
you don't
you go in first group
Just go down for both and cloak for the second soak, its totally ethical
I was thinking going down with first group after intermission by accident
Ye
as long as you dont int severely
Golem boss in skyreach
so Is using a envenom aura cancel macro a good thing for Impacable or nah?
no
if you dip out it insta ticks the boss
only with elusivenes
If not, just vial/cloak if needed and let the healer take the wheel?
yeh need elus
Just say "I'm dead!" And usually your healer will throw everything at you
but you always should take elus
works every time
ssshhh dont let them know our secrets.
its like the healer takes it personal
yeah healer mains are divas
when you tell them to do the job they signed up for
they complain
but if u tell them they're doing a bad job...pf, prepare for trouble
Whenever I die I just say "one heal????" In case they forgot to give me a heal y'know? Just trying to be helpful
i just spam ping
play trickster 
But not this day
how do u guys maintain alts?
Don't
We dont.
Don't want people thinking you're a nerd or something.
i meant if u have a 2nd chara
Having a job makes the alt thing just a dream
play in a guild that requires alt
tho its supposed to be easier this season
Don't do that either.
That's extra nerdy.
or have friends that do like 10 alt raids for fun each week
I feel like playing a character well takes enough time that I'd rather not play WoW during the other free time I have.
ill stick to my rogue
think we have like 6-9 runs a week that do 4/6 voidspire mythic as well
do we use ambush, like at all? or can i remove it from my bars?
playing wow kind of is already
cooked
quick question
ui can skip last two on magister terrace?
the voidlods
voidlords
not with shroud, but with warlock gate yes
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.
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
Out of curiosity isen't sub and outlaw getting those buffs to trickster going to pull ahead quite hard compared to sin?
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
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4AwvaPy1jF3BZCDk?fight=last&type=damage-done&source=2 If someone wouldn't mind 🙂
Yes
i litrerally asked this myself 5 min ago lol
You CT until they all have that
Ah gotcha, but then I assume I need to wait till they're in range and not manually apply and spread?
when you guys do big pulls in first person mode how do you find the mobs
They group up naturally cause they respawn from the dead orbs
i play undead aand i have to look up at everything please help
And the dead orbs are generally clumped already
And I assume cos I have more bleeds that'll help with my energy issues?
I've always done second group and felt like cooldowns lined up reasonably well. Are you using cooldowns during add phase if you are group 1 to get cleave damage?
I sent them all on boss, as group 2.
hope so, all my shit optimized for sub
Subtlety got a huge buff in the .5 patch... Assassination’s damage is basically unchanged, right?
Correct
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)
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
We spam 2 buttons too when we’re not putting up our bleeds
Coming from someone who loves sin and sub gameplay
yes and sub has nothing else whereas assa has bleed upkeep
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
there is no dance minigame, you either have haste enough to get +1 gcd or you don't
if you press buttons perfectly which can be difficult with boss movement and real world stuff
i just think sub got significantly less fun tww -> midnight in a way that assa did not
outlaw got buff too but idk how much they gain
ok because someone is swearing it existed last xpac: did tricks have a damage amp at any point in the last couple of xpacs?
thank you
last classic expac of cata 
no theyre just notoriously wrong about a lot of things, but too stubborn to admit theyre wrong.
theyre a ret main
oh even better

those guys thrive on that
only in pvp


there is another spell id of tricks on wowhead
which is weird since its got patch notes from the start of last xpac
That one even says pvp talent on the tooltip
But that isn’t how the pvp talent works either
So who knows
Is anyone down to help me with a quick log review? I just killed vora mythic and my damage was garbage
did you get a fixate or go to hit the adds
thats basically the only thing that can happen to affect your uptime
you have to save your vanish for fixates
oh for real? ROFL okay sick
yea if you get fixated, vanish after
k
breaks it
it was like a 24 parse but I spent a lot of time running for adds
feelsbadman
good to know!
❤️
ok round 2: do rogues bring a damage buff?
no
no
that sometimes doesnt work 100%
Is my builder supposed to be fan of knives of crimson tempest? I'v ebeen using FoK as the builder and using crimson when I need to spread bleeds, but someone was telling me I should always use Crimson?
ty
!tricks
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
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

Rule of thumb for env is always 5+
ok thk guys
I’m sorry
First raid night, padding wasn't possible, I went full st most bosses with spatter
Cosmos 18% bp
Fair
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)
The p in parse stands for pad
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
Pad Arse?
it's like pad thai yeah
Could go for a good pad Thai
Pad all regardless, singletarget everything
I’m craving Vietnamese coffee and pho..
How’s Alleria going @balmy condor
God knows this is true
If you could place down the turnip dummy to pad your parse I am sure it would be rampant
The training dummies in maisara 
It's funnel, not pad. Ethical use of resources 
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
But at that point why bother
They need to move crimson vial off the GCD
Free drinks
yeah so I can go sudden demise to Crimson Vial-max whenever I snipe a killing blow starting in 12.0.5
bind that shit to scroll wheel
Insane mega tech
drink up me hearties 
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?
It's not nearly as rng as you might expect from something flipping a coin
But yes it's passive
coins - flipping
daggers - stabbin
brain - smooth
more than can be said about most


Just read his guide on YouTube. You can turn on captions and turn off sound
That’s what I do
He has videos about the guide?
Doesn’t he only talk about blue notes
I play the videos for viewer retention stats
He had a guide at some point
Guide videos would be great
There is never a gain to hold finishers slightly longer on high heads count or something?
Also also also
Nooka’s implacable tracker is great!
We finally have a working solution for apex talent tracking
Looks vibe coded and barebones though I might modify it
But it works
how often are you supposed to use ambush? i havent put it on my bars
I tried that, and now I am a sub rogue
“Wow he did really well on this boss”
Looks closer
Sub rogue
I be ambushing hella with blindside talent
Otherwise my mut key is ambush in stealth
you can probably safely keep it off your bars unless you are looking to fill space
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
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
But as it’s physical shouldn’t evasion work and I don’t need it anywhere else ?
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
Neither of them work, you need a physical immunity
Afaik only meta, bop and bubble works
Trying to watch some high keys on YouTube or a vod. Who should I watch? ❤️
Is it make sense to craft myth weapon on newly created rogue now? I guess from next week we can update any hero weapon?
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)
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
so POT in first day actually can give u 2 bis loot
omg
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
yep that's great
Probably the best update to gearing they made recently
(It’s gonna be pit, just run pit)
I’ll have to hold my roll tho I think. My RL said he wants us to use it on chimaerus
ye, especially after bug with drop
Because gaze is just tooooo good
where you locked in one loot
I don’t believe that’s fixed lol
Geared my Aug over the weekend
Like 14x
Dropped 3x neck, 4x cloak
Got traded the ring and pants
No helm to be seen yet
right now, you can wat h Wox, Zero or casual
Konaz also plays assa

Your bonus rolls are assigned?
That’s fucking mental
Woxtoxic, zerocoolpro, casualaddict6007
Funniest thing is: WE HAVENT EVEN KILLED CHIM YET
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
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
Its in patchnotes?
Weird question, but what defines Bis? Like is it the item itself or the item + ilevel, because to me there isn't a heroic item that's bis
If it has a mythic version ofc
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
That's one of the easy mythic trinkets
Oh gawd
That depends on your guild, as I said, we haven’t killed it yet
Cause in my guild bis is only mythic items and everything before that is big/small upgrade kek to the w
Yeh but 1/4 on gaze isn’t really all that impressive cause a hero track gaze is actually really comparable to a myth gaze
Like I have a myth gaze and it’s not efficient for me to put crests into
You can myth gaze my balls
I use the bis button as a big upgrade equivalent
Completely agree
Best money someone else spent on my behalf
did your rl assign those for u as well?

If I could I would bonus roll this chat
you want more of it?
yeah i got a roll on it
Walking home from the train station rn and people must think I’m weird because I laughed out so loud at that comment
So yes, I’d bonusroll here too
No, something better
No way you laughed my comment
No worries, thought the curse might have been lifted
I laughed at your comment skoop
I think I laughed at your comment
Thank you
That means the cursed is lifted and I can go back to the paladin discord and be a mod again
It’s open?
sub and outlaw trickster changes seems quite strong, assa will drop a bit next week ?
I'll pick it up again if it drops
Spreading your great ideas to my own guild
Yes we're absolute trash and definitely not worth playing in any circumstance make sure u tell all your friends this too
sure i'll do
that was the point of my questioning
unless unnecessary salt, my doubts were about, 10% on outlaw and 6% on sub means sin will fall off a bit in raid (not doomed), maybe a tiny buff is coming for sin boys?
Glad you got a laugh out of it
Surely we just kill Chim tonight, drop a gaze and I’ll get it
sin still does boss damage
nothing changes 
I will now play outlaw on all bosses
And look for a new guild. If anyone is recruiting a well seasoned melee player who is a master of the yap hit me up. Pref 2 day guild and good vibes
Sorry guys, il will not def talking about spec paragons anymore
I knew it. Rerolling tonight.
yo there’s no snapshotting weirdness on damage amp bosses in m+ is there? like you just put your stuff on them just before the amp and all good?
main problem with outlaw ever being good is the lack of a mainhand 
Gut
Correct, there's none of that
In Nexus-Point Xenas, can a rogue disarm traps?
ty, do you know if the amp is shorter than kingsbane duration if its better to have the end of kingsbane in it or the apex hits
Idk if bw/dbm auto do it like streets rp npc but its quick
Hello, what is the crit cap on assa ? with 43% (1300 flat) i've the feeling i need more
is it really worth spending like 80 hero crests just to save 20 mythic
assa from next week gonna be completly outclassed by outlaw, right ?
so I have a 1/6 mythic item in the vault, and my current item in that slot is 2/6 hero, do I take it to 6/6 hero just to save on that first mythic track upgrade
It should only cost you 20 hero though. Because the myth piece lets you upgrade to 5/6
you take the 1/6 myth
and you spend 20 hero crests

Is anybody willing to watch my saladbar kill for any gameplay issues? I still feel energy starved at times
About Nightcap:
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. We have active players raiding weekly and doing keys so if you're looking for a guild active in the later hours of the day (or peak ...

!design
!pooling
- Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
- Without the Apex talent there is no reason to pool, once midnight drops this will update with whatever logic is found
!apex
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.
nah apex is not what I was hoping for

Damn
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
at ~0:50 you could've held off your envenom to drop the buff but you didnt
it lined up perfectly with your rupture refresh
if you are at 80 implacable stacks and you won't cap energy, let the envenom buff drop
Right - what about teas? Do I wanna full send until they’re gonna and then conserve?
Ooo I’ll look
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
yo goats
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
I think you were perfect (I'm at work and can't watch the video)
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
yes thats correct you full send abilities
and if I'm about to cap I'll spam
Right
other good uses are spamming when adds appear if you're a parse monkey
maybe theres some optimization to use on in the opener
Don’t get me wrong the parse wasn’t awful I got an 83 if memory serves me right
like CT / envenom spam on dragon adds
so they start regenning
and they line up with kb
but idk
i dont play the game
im saying misinformation
83 is fine you're playing the game correctly
But I wanna improve on that
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
Dont entirely judge based on parse, you're competing with padders, and it will only get worse with each reset
I've been looking at boss damage more this season especially on fights we're tight to enrage
Pad-slop is heavy this tier 
yeah it's gross
Well I appreciate the responses 🙂
np
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
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
yeah ok sweet thank you
I have a second craft already so just gonna chill and upgrade my mythic pieces
yea thats what i did too
👍🏼
Hello
ill have you skimped and stripped
Yes please
if u have a hero 6/6 then yes upgrading myth track is more efficient
hey guys
I'm pushing 16s-18s and my boss damage just feels awful
is this just our fate?
ST is really fine
can't relate
not even close to tww
have good ST in m+
what build u using
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
wowhead build
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
what funnel?
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
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.
do we have funnel in FB??
technically no
well yeah, hit fok get more combo point to envenom target
its just prio damage not funnel
you could maybe consider scent stacks as funnel but even that is like not really correct
i mean funnel just means ur gaining prio damage by adding more mobs right
damage done to other targets does not get transferred back to your main target
which is what funnel is
we had funnel in DS
You're just being pedantic
no theres a specific difference between funnel and prio
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
the only aspect of fb that gains you more prio damage with more targets is scent
The result is the same, you guys really argue for the sake of arguing xD
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
that definitely is pedantic, you do more dps with more targets to the prio target
= funnel
^
You cast more envenoms so you do more dmg
The point of all this was to help Mallooki with boss dmg in M+, and you argue semantics
But also it is not his fault if tanks don't pull adds
So there is nothing to fix there
No, you're just being petty and not actually helping anyone
We have a very good st dmg profile
bro you need to chill, i just like talking about the differences between words
Especially with having like 2.5-3 min boss fights

maybe they are using SD build with no DTB or something
that probably has worse ST
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
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
I mean yeah
it's important to be pedantic when different words mean different things
otherwise we'd end up with nobody knowing what anyone was saying
You do also have way more combo points and energy when there's mobs
Sorry for a point of reference this is the build I'm running
Which is the wowhead one I think?
yea looks right
yeah absolutely you'll do more damage to your main target when there are more mobs around
but funnel is a very specific word in WoW mechanics
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
having to fok 5 times for one envenom before blowing cooldowns in dragons/palas fight feels fucking atrocious
agreed
And it's true for Assa. Because you absolutely get more damage to your main target. It's indirect funnel
that's like saying aoe is indirect st to multiple targets
Just becuae there is no one-to-one dmg transfer
It's literally not the same
the damage transfer is literally what funnel is though
I dont think too many classes actually get a damage boost from there being mobs
nooj said it already that getting more damage indirectly from more mobs is called acceleration
Its not every class atleast
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
well yea if you say one thing instead of another, conversations develop differently
thats how interactions work
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
Ah, but becuae of your morals you ignored Mallooki's request
Out of principle
Go you
huh?
you need to calm down lad
what is bro talking about
It was sarcastic
I am confused.
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
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
but in wow blizzard have decided that funnel does specifically mean something
it's like a keyword
where is it in the blizzard dictionary
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?
I prefer to be clear
have you crafted anything yet? your first craft should always be a dagger
yes have only crafted the dagger nothing else
craft 285 dagger asap
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
i will prob do both raids and m+ but need more gear asap but was confused on the crafting cause it was something new next patch.
cuase my legs are vetaran💀
run m+ for better legs
Wait for reset and vault and then craft items which boost u the most
sir yes sir
trying to get thi stupid puzzblebox only played alg for 2 days about 15 runs now atleast no drop lol
I have ptsd from tww and grim batol tronket. like 100 runs and no trinket
dont craft this week, you get up to 3 mythics this week
Yeah I can't be bothered with that thing, I just use the feather instead
yha it sucks and my friennd comes with his alt and first try it
Also i started playing lock,mage and it is far more easier gameplay
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
easier than sin??
I will get it this vault, for sure
hahah gl bud
I mean in ranged way, i can see everything clearly
I somehow doubt that lock is easier to play than assassination, but it's probably just a subjective thing
yeah but I didn't do that, I asked if we have funnel as a genuine question because I'm a guide following Andy that doesn't read his abilities and talents properly. and the guy got told that yes more mobs = more damage to MT at the same time as that discussion
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
yes if ur already not in stealth
in ST/raid yes, in m+ sometimes but also sometimes use it to spread imp gar on big packs
all good we can disagree but i appreciate the discussion, thank u
ty folks
np
<3
remember to press it twice within pandemic window to increase duration
@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
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
If I refresh midfight does It maintain that 50% dmg bonus?
Oh okok. I understood something else, reading IS hard
and if you pandemic imp gar with a regular gar before it expires you lose the bonus damage from the last few seconds
So...better to let It expire?
you have to let imp garrote expire unless you are refreshing with new imp gar by vanishing
yes
yeah
although you can send gar with like 1 second left and it's not gonna be a massive difference
That I didnt know, good to know
as soon as you pandemic it, you lose the bonus damage
for instance you'd rather refresh it early than cap energy or something
lowkey outlaw will be hotfixed after the buff ? don't you think so ?
btw may ik why people use it afterwards?
if the right thing is to use it pre
am talking about the 2nd one
they are stuck to the old bug with garrot snapping mastery
imo
kk
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
i mean is a full cp envenom better than a vanish + improved garrote just before deathmark?
@spice spire this twink is leaking DMs be careful
you do both, your deathmark last long enough to have improved garrot all the way
so you do your improved garrot, then envenom, then cds
and you cast algethar trinket before the envenom
y i mean is kinda like tww one isnt it?
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hello friends, we are looking to upgrade main hand to 295 asap i figured?
or there is any strat?
Given crest count I guess you could sim your options (depending on drop luck) but that’s seems best
main hand will always be your first upgrade
uhh if you talk about S3 TWW I didn't play assa I don't remember
is the upgraded crafted still just 1 upgrade difference vs non crafted? though im dumping my bonus rolls into pit of saron so will be super happy if i get a kricks myth
Isnt puzzlebox giving more scale when 298?
Im going straight to algethar for mythic puzzle
hmm raidbots is gonna have to add something to test upgraded levels
On reset
Mainhand > Trinkets > offhand
Its on gear compare
You can do it in topgear too
oh? is it new
I mean you can just add a higher ilvl item
You can add any ilvl
Mainhand > Trinkets > All other slots > Ranged slot > Offhand
btw we can only upgrade trinkets and weapon to 298 right? and about crests will be uncapped?
It wasn't any for me
Well you cant upgrade anything besides weapon and trinkets with the things were talking about
If u type 298 and click that didnt work for me
sorry
Well you have to uncheck the "only seasonal item levels"
But presumably raidbots will add some support for the cores
Just not before it goes live
Hey guys, would anyone mind please checking a 16 key log for me and telling me if anything jumps out for mistakes?
Ig crafted bugs out when you do that
real gamers modify the simc input 
I can do kricks at 294 but not 298 so yeah raidbots needs some work
Yo just wondering, is there any major bugs atm that affect dps majorly in a negative or positive way that you should play around?
no
ct does more damage than intended but thats about it and you dont change how you play
does CT proc'ing IB count as a bug?
although that doesn't rly change how we play either lol
maybe, but thats not the one i mean
"CT is on basically every whitelist, meaning for most people it's doing roughly 95-115% more damage than intended depending on your mastery"
oh yeah i forgot about that one somehow
It would help if you provided a log
probably cause in my head CT is still a finisher
didnt get a reply so didn't think anyone was interested,
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/HtMaQLfyJ9kRvg3m?fight=21&type=damage-done
appreciate it if you take a look!
does assa nature damage buffed by monk or dh?
is our mainhand weapon always our highest ilvl?
Yes
Nature = magic = dh afaik
But tbh you’re kinda running both monk and dh this ssn anyways
Just because there’s so many devourers and brews
I'm from melee comp world with feral
but ye I guess if assa can work with dh and monk it's a win
now we need to outdamage unholy
nah, aug is
Haven’t managed to do that yet but the only uh I play with is a friend of mine who has been playing the spec for literal years and is quite good on it
dk is like cameo
can puzzlebox be macro'd into deathmark or does it need to be used manually
Manually
ty
there have been multiple seasons where DK is like 50%+ of the top runs, i think aug is the cameo
Tbf I’ve picked Aug as my alt for the season and it’s not only good numerically but also hella fun to play
Don't forget to solve your funny fidget toy
Love doing everything possible to keep my Ebon Might up
tfw evoker is more played than rogue
to be frank in this season only one main char and it's brew
feral is fun, but in 17th I feel like I overwhelmed with buttons while everyone else just flexing and glad to be here
you know it's fucked when there's an order of magnitude more brew than any other spec and the die hard one tricks are still like -2 or -3 key levels behind
and its only like week five, that gap usually only widens as the season goes
it's same as it was in dragonflight s3 with DH
blizzard can't do tank balance at all
Since I'm benched for raid probably this season I'm kinda just vibing at this point and just hoping we're better next tier 
benched for raid if you are not rwf or maybe hof is a joke
blizzard rly not giving a fuck about keys above a 12 fr
they also not giving a fuck about pre 12
so maybe they don't give a fuck at all
I searched for a new group end of last season and kinda got memed by them tbqh, don't have enough wish to search for another group until near next season
i meme about getting benched cause its funny to imply that we're such dog shit that our raid buff isn't enough to get us into raid, but it's just cause we have 2 rogues and this raid is rly melee unfriendly
lol deadly posion is 5.5 of my dps
is it even normal
interesting how things works with other poisons
I bench myself because I don’t wanna play current rogue on some of these bosses simply
Like idk what could get me to play Dragons/Paladins
Guild I joined had two groups but half of them imploded so now it's two rogues for one raid group and our other lad has a lot more time to spend 
Rather log onto my aug for then
i played during the seasons where assa literally had no AoE besides Fan or Knives, we were kicked immediately on sight from key groups
they care a little bit more than that now
Just got invited to a 17 AA with my previous being a 12. Assa rogue is so back
Goated
Pit is free af
Watched my friends do a 15 Terrace yday evening and that looked so free
I have no worries of hitting 3.4K this season at all
and we still got like +15 ilvls to go
Wonder how much io 1% mount is gonna be
considering how much people are gonna wanna get boosted/carried to it? I think 4k+
yeah but i think keys are easier this season so the cap will be higher
yeah but not 4k for top 1%
yeah this season is undertuned
You forget how many people are somehow under 1k even in the most free seasons tbh
I can imagine like 3.7k maybeeee 3.8k
imagine playing m+
instead of doing productive things
like idk, cut your fingers off with a spoon
like shitposting in discord
ye
is there a good way to do the whole puzzle box setup on bird? my guild does first push at ~1:45 so i have to do the entire thing during the dance
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
become better at solving the cube
Get to spot solve cube burst 
real fuck m+
Just because keys are easier doesn't make them an order of magnitude easier
at the point in the season, top 1% last season was 3.1k-ish, currently it's 3.4k, that's like +3 key levels? It went up to 3.5k by the end of last season. With the extra incentives giving more people a reason to push, maybe I overshot it, but I don't think 3.9k-4k is unreasonable.
people are pushing 21's rn and we aren't even at gear cap
plus ilvl is about to go up
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/keystone-cutoffs
got that nice addon
It was 3.476 or something the other day. Pretty crazy
im not surprised, keys are turbo easy this season
.1 was almost 3.7
getting a full vault of 10s week 1 in literal poop gear
vs struggling to get a single 10 for vault week 1 of s1 tww
I like this more, getting gear is fun.
Gating stuff like mounts and titles is better
Bad players have more gear and I’m mad 😡

of course the yellow name hates other people having fun
people need to stop worrying about trying to gate other people. other people getting good gear doesn't impact you.
(it was a joke)
My trinkets are so ass
may been for you but it is a serious thing people bitch about lol
Bless the mythic rerolls
-# (sry I was also joking)
allright but fr
evertime i see one of those shity AI thumbnails, i decide to never touch that addon 
i tried out the WH demise build and its def doing better at 10 or lower keys
ive been using the normal build for 12+ though
if you have an aug I think demise build +2 key levels cause no mob lives an aug empowered box/DM/KB in anything under a 15
if i have an aug im gonna jump
