nice name

cunning needle
reef flower
#

@balmy condor you do give somewhere talents depending on boss fight right? Like a build for dragons/paladin dont you? Or am I mistaking? I cant find it anywhere

cunning needle
#

was the educational short that i learnt from

balmy condor
#

driest desert btw

#

cause it's a mountain

#

and all the rain just flops on the other side

rugged basalt
#

I don’t think the talents per boss page has been updated in a while

balmy condor
#

and hits the forest instead

rugged basalt
#

Would recommend stalking warcraftlogs

balmy condor
#

ocean on one side, rain forest on the other

dire flume
# rugged basalt nice name

ty i am now maining my hunter and i watched the avatar trilogy the other day and people call me ari

so i race changed to haranir and now we have neytari

balmy condor
#

desert in the middle

balmy condor
#

and they are updated

#

idk what lans is on about

cunning needle
#

because of the himalayers

rugged basalt
#

Oh they are? My fault king

dire flume
#

why doesn't the desert just drink the ocean water, is it stupid?

balmy condor
#

they match with the builds on wcl though

#

so functionally the same

rugged basalt
#

I used to refer to them early into the season and saw variations, so I decided to stalk wcl

cinder steppe
#

Killed dragons yesterday with outlaw and now onto paladins, what have you guys played in palas? Looking at logs the three specs seems to be shit lol, i might go assa just for ease since outlaw has a bit more buttons

reef flower
#

Ty chief
Do you guys use default talent window or is there an addon which is better and more useful

golden loom
#

rogue is just in for atro poison

#

fight is kinda chill garf

rugged basalt
#

I’m aiming for 3/9 this week garf_sit

golden loom
#

we sadly didnt kill it sunday

cunning needle
golden loom
#

but on wednesday it should die

rugged basalt
#

Fuck that hurts

golden loom
#

we killed the ret pally wayyyy to fast

rugged basalt
#

What were the hp’s

cinder steppe

You got that fs post reset

onyx veldt
#

cant wait to wake up with gaze in my vault

dire flume
#

ive never raided and my hunter was like 265 ilvl omegalol

dire flume
#

i gained 12 ilvl yesterday

rugged basalt
#

Can’t wait to clock out of work and find gaze at home and gaze in my vault and gaze

#

And

dire flume
#

i did very good mechanics though dw i did madness rescues and everything B)

golden loom
rugged basalt
#

I’ll even settle for champ version. I’ll take LFR. I’ll do anything.

golden loom
#

you just hope you survive

cunning needle
#

yeah exactly. you living is entirely out of your hands for the most part

#

just dodge shit

#

and if you have the absorb

#

get the fuck away from the chick that gives it to you

rugged basalt
#

Ist es over für mich

jolly stirrup
cunning needle
#

well

#

birb isn't bad

#

but if youre playing sub

#

you're playing zdps

rugged basalt
#

I hear nothing about saladbar is it an ok fight

cunning needle
#

oh wait

#

you said imperator

rugged basalt
#

Imperator is the first boss

cunning needle
#

yeah gl

rugged basalt
cunning needle
#

look forward to dragons ig

rugged basalt

Lost my left ball watching us wipe to dispels

rugged basalt
#

Refusal to mouseover dispel + frames being hell this season I reckon

cunning needle
#

theyre dogshit

#

and it's not healers fault

reef flower
# cunning needle it's definitely a UI thing

Yep but they cant adapt
I began the season as a healer, I know some debuff are not shown as magic/poison/disease and they do not trigger bar color change for example, but still....

static glacier
dire flume
#

and it breaks every patch

rugged basalt
#

I do think healers have been handed an unfair disadvantage coming into mn

static glacier
#

Idk about you guys but am I the only one who actually just used stock blizzard frames with mouseovers to heal?

reef flower
#

You can ping yourself dozens of time they just dont react in pugs

golden loom
#

I've never healed garf

rugged basalt
#

People complain about the default frames and then also every other addon frame

static glacier
#

Never could CBA settings up vuhdo, clique was fine but I didn’t want to set all the debuffs up

reef flower
rugged basalt
#

Thought people were using dander

reef flower
#

DF also has built in mouse click spells

static glacier
#

And it was serviceable with like 1-2 addons like big debuffs or some pvp addon that showed all your hots on default blizz frame

#

I get if they’re mistakenly dispelling the same people / not noticing - but saying the frames suck is a little bit of an excuse

rugged basalt
#

It’s either reassuring or scary if that was the only issue leading to my wipes

reef flower
rugged basalt
#

chim m was largely intermission skill issue in pugs
I usually one pump chump hc tho

royal hazel
#

just normal play style then and yes not using the sudden demise or whatever theyre playing . thanks for confirming.

balmy condor
#

but np

clever granite
#

hi. quick question. Lets say im in a multi target fight and my garrote is about to fall off but my rupture still has 15 seconds. do i refresh garrote and wait for rupture to enter pandemic window before i refresh or do i just refresh them both at the same time. or do i ONLY refresh my bleeds in pandemic windows even for multi target ?

normal mist
#

Refresh them as their enter pandemic

#

Multi target scenario is ST but with CT spam

#

Every mob will have the same duration of your main target

clever granite
#

but i only ct when both bleeds are refreshed right ? or do i garrote ct for time rupture ct for timer ?

normal mist
#

You CT to spread

#

If your main target entered pandemic, just bleed then ct

#

Just don't overthink it

stiff shoal
#

I have a similar question regarding massive pulls (like the Algeth'ar Academy lashers). Is there a target cap or a point where it's no longer worth it to dot every single add and I should stop spamming Crimson Tempest to prioritize Envenom?

Additionally, regarding cooldowns like Kingsbane or Deathmark: is it better to use them before spreading my bleeds, or should I wait until everything is fully dotted up? In those massive pulls, I feel like if I wait to have every bleed active before popping CDs, the adds are already dying by the time I start my burst.

#

Hello BTW, im new in the discord 😄

golden loom
#

you use CT to build to 5+ and then envenom to spend

deft vault
#

Pretty sure it worth to spam CT

#

On very high target count im pretty sure whispyr said it was a gain to spam ct

balmy condor
#

I mean you "spam" ct on the pull cause you can't bleed everything

#

it's just frankly too many mobs

#

you always cast envenom though

#

don't overcap combo points

#

that would be trollingh

#

for the whole deathmark/kb spread thing

#

if you're playing keys where things will survive long enough

#

spread before

#

you get more scent stacks on cds and maybe zoldyck time and whatever

#

but if you're only doing like +16/+17's

deft vault
#

Wait did i misunderstand then lol. Didnt you say on like 15+ target pull it was worth ignoring envenom until everyone was dotted

balmy condor
#

those are probably too low at this point to hold cds for

#

things die too fast

balmy condor
#

I mean maybe that was true on beta

#

but you always want to envenom

deft vault
#

is the replacing fok with ct to reappy IB still true then lol

stiff shoal
#

Yeah, I always use CT first and then Envenom with 5+ combo points. My first question was more about energy management—is there ever a point where it's better to spam Fan of Knives instead of CT even if not every mob is dotted yet?

Regarding the second question, I'm currently running +16s, so I was asking specifically for that key level, but I'd like to know how to adjust in lower keys or environments where mobs die even faster.

One more thing: how should I manage the Scent of Blood (Apex) talent while dotting? Should I use CT and Envenom until I hit 5 stacks and then just pool energy, or do I keep spamming them? Also, should I use those 'free' Envenom windows to spread Rupture to other targets instead?

grim jay
#

Scent isnt an apex talent

#

You just CT > envenom 5+cp as long as mobs arent fully dotted up either way

#

Apex talent more often than not is kinda minor in actual aoe situations, you would want to drop the buff at max stacks if you were to struggle with energy, just as you'd do in ST tho

stiff shoal
#

Okay Ty so much

frigid lagoon
#

apex bug fixed

#

god bless

fervent relic
#

Is it worth at Mythic dragons, when the orbs are there to spread dots and ignore envenom, when playing demise?

balmy condor
#

no and please do not play demise

fervent relic
#

But...damage cheesing...

balmy condor
#

it's not even cheesing

#

it's doing less damage overall in an attempt to kill the least important adds

#

like it's just incorrect, both to parse and to prog

tight compass
burnt ember
#

Or just play with a team with worse dps players 😛

balmy condor
#

#

footjob

#

real?

burnt ember
#

Like are footjobs real as a concept?

#

I'd say the existence of your question would indicate that they are.

subtle tundra
#

footjobs 🤤

#

Played assass for years as main but have been away for ~8 years and have come back to everyone slagging it off. Like the idea of Deathstalker Assass. Can I make this work in random battlegrounds/low level 2's or Delves and low level mythics? I play fairly casually and am not into raiding or rated arenas etc.

#

So much of the advice and complaints online seem to be about miniscule percentages and high level end game

burnt ember
#

Whispyr will give you a better answer but deathstalker to my knowledge sims slightly better in some situations but it's just hard/annoying to use. That may not be the case after some recent updates, though. It is definitely usable, just most people don't like it very much in its current state.

#

It certainly won't be bad enough to have anybody be like "oh brother, this guy stinks."

subtle tundra
#

everyone one that played assa last expansion can tell you how much they hate it

#

fucking hate deathstalker

#

only creates issues

burnt ember
#

Yeah so after looking at stuff, players in high level m+ are using it for funnel damage mostly because of singular focus... But honestly that's still a big nah from me. Fatebound is just such better QoL.

frosty cedar
hollow escarp
#

Feels like deathstalker was designed for sub, I hated it in TWW and I'm glad fatebound is better

burnt ember
#

Honeslty it feels to me like it was designed for nobody lol

hollow escarp
#

In the current meta for sure

#

I was thinking mostly how easy it is to manage the mark on sub because of shadow dance

burnt ember
#

I just hate it because unless your tank is pretty perfect you're basically doomed to target swap from time to time... which already feels SO bad given amp stacks for 'sin

#

add a mark to that?

#

Get me out

grand basalt
#

Well this is a pretty unanimous "just use fatebound" 😂

#

It's not a dealbreaker, just sounded more interesting in terms of theme

#

Poisons + Bleeds + Shadow

burnt ember
#

It is much more interesting in terms of theme, you're very right.

sharp viper
#

i liked deathstalker on pure ST, swapping was ass though

burnt ember
#

Fatebound is and has been dumb... Most of us don't like it either. But between dumb and like actively horrible to use... I know what I'd choose lol.

grand basalt
#

In vanila I used to spec my rogue around full bleed (back on the OG talent trees) and just run around bleeding and vanishing so thematically thought it may be similar

golden loom
#

Even if the theme is cooler, that does not matter at all for rogue since we have no cool animations anyways

hollow escarp
#

Sub and outlaw have smoke bomb now

#

So they can die to ground effects easier xddicant

burnt ember
#

I'm sure that looks so cool for the rest of the raid

#

I'm sure that will go on to be really our defining visual feature in raids

#

Like "dang it's so cool we have a rogue that is popping those smoke bombs that are so visible to me."

#

Thanks Blizzard, too cool.

hollow escarp
#

They're probably not even visible to others in raid due to spell settings

#

I don't really know

burnt ember
#

Oh no the joke is that they were visible and it annoyed other players so bad they're patching it today

#

I just think that's hilarious

#

They add one visual effect to rogue and everyone freaks out so much they remove it immediately

golden loom
#

I heard in pvp it was confusing people thinking it was real smokebomb

hollow escarp
#

That's actually tech lol

#

playing mind games

#

Either way, you know you're in trouble if you see either smoke bomb on you

grand basalt
burnt ember
#

Welcome to the party, gamer.

dire flume
#

my outlaw isnt a pirate but you do you

burnt ember
#

It's kind of unfortunate because when the change happened many combat fans were deeply unhappy with it, and they remain deeply unhappy with it. Now there is a huge portion of rogue players that love outlaw and if Blizz changed it significantly they would be very, very unhappy... So unfortunately Blizz has painted themselves in a bit of a corner where old combat players are super unhappy, but you can't change it because outlaw players would be super unhappy... So outlaw it is.

rugged basalt
#

Idk what it was before but I like how it is rn

burnt ember
#

You're pretty much Exhibit A of why it won't change (and I don't mean that in a bad way). Current players are used to outlaw, it's mostly oldheads and returning players that are mad.

dire flume
#

outlaw has better direction imo and fulfils a niche that doesnt already exist

#

like wtf is a combat rogue

burnt ember
#

Yeah tbf as a man who is a certified unc I actually like outlaw

subtle tundra
#

actually

#

i think it would be best if outlaw was deleted completely

#

maybe make a rogue support/tank spec

dire flume
#

id like a rogue tank spec so i could tank weeklies easier for friends

golden loom
#

season of discovery tank rogue to retail PauseChamp

burnt ember
#

I would like a rogue tank as a fourth spec, too. Like a little dodge based spec where your primary defensives are evasion, feint, and cloak of shadows but they just work a little differently.

rugged basalt
#

Naw. Some classes have 4 specs. A fourth damage spec please

deft vault
#

A rogue tank where you have actual combo kinda like the monk in fellowship would be pog af

still nymph
#

Is someone using ArcUI and figured out how to combine the Implacable icons together? I dont want to waste two slots. Laying them over each other doesnt work as the cooldown swipes both show

balmy condor
#

can just not track the second

spice surge
#

The energy regen buff is not very relevant to track though

balmy condor
#

it's just the buff from energy regen

feral loom
#

Now that we can track implacable properly. What is your approach when you reach 80 stacks outside of your offensive cooldowns?

Let's assume that we're in energy starvation mode and out of Thistle Tea stacks.

Do you just stop using all abilities including generators until it drops off?
Do you still cast generators until you reach 7 CP?
Do you still cast generators even if you're capped at 7CP?
Do you use this time to refresh rupture even if it's still got enough time?

Do you approach M+ AoE pulls differently than Raid ST scenario's given the questions above?

Guys do you know when they increase timer lets put aa here, depleted for 30 seconds yesterday but tomorrow they are putting timer to 31, will i get rating for it? Bcs they do decrase rating when they put lower timer

balmy condor
#

probably not

feral loom

Typical blizzard

#

You should get it

feral loom
#

You managed to do it once, you got the skill to do it twice 🙂

golden loom
#

In season 3 tww they did increase raiting tho

#

after changing timers (or maybe it was bugged?) at the start of the season

balmy condor
#

I mean if it does then that's pretty crazy

#

if it doesn't then just run it again

#

blizzard does a lot of fucked up things

#

this is kinda the least problematic of them

cinder mountain

Ye, but its crazy, progressed 18 aa whole day and depleted like last run for 5 seconds

Why is plater not recommended

unique nymph
#

We will see i guess

cinder mountain
#

Is there a sensei resource profile with combo p coloring

balmy condor
cinder mountain
balmy condor
#

Addons can’t change the behavior of the bars

#

They’re simply reskins

ancient dome
#

they can change cvars that influence the behavior of stacking and overlapping. but you can always change them yourself anyways

balmy condor
#

Yeah ofc

#

I mean they can’t do anything unique

#

They’re sharing the same basic shit

cinder mountain
#

ok, good to know

#

do you maybe know for combo point coloring what is the best way

rugged basalt
#

I guess I finally uninstall nooka implacable today

golden loom
#

"finally" had it like 5 days garf

rugged basalt
#

Nah I had it for like 2 weeks

inner crypt
#

How do u track implacable properly, with colddown manager? Its horriblee

balmy condor
balmy condor
little tulip
#

it does seem not bugged all of a sudden

#

did a 16 wr and it wasn't a meme to reset it

inner crypt
balmy condor
#

Was working fine for me idk

#

Are you using addons

golden loom
#

(or have you played since the fix) kekw

hollow escarp
#

Speaking of bugs, anybody else noticed cloak of shadow inconsistency on Supression Zone cast from MT dungeon? I usually cloak and ait in the zone with the mark on me and I can continue attacking the boss if I'm in cooldowns, did a run on Wednesday and cloak did not save me PEPW

balmy condor
#

Some arcui people were bitching about the hotfix breaking for them

#

But that’s like bullshit addon idk

inner crypt
balmy condor
#

I use base cdm, had to change the buff that was being tracked from the energy buff to the stacking buff

#

Works perfect

#

Dunno

inner crypt
#

Dunno then

balmy condor
#

Is it just not showing

#

Or what is it doing

spice surge
#

Because for some reason the first second is a true immunity while during the remaining 4 you are mostly immune

crisp pine
#

says so in the tooltip even

spice surge
hollow escarp
little tulip
#

i got smote and stopped trying it a while ago

golden loom
#

you can just cloak the mark application

#

(with the 1 sec atleast)

night delta
#

Nah supression zone being uncloakable is not recent

#

Experienced it week 1

viscid spear
#

!up

hollow escarp
#

Did a trial run on m0 with my tank and I was able to cloak it, I didn't log that run so I don't remember if it was 1 sec before

night delta
#

There is a very small amount of things cloak straight up doesn't work on, kinda asinine imo

#

No consistency, so we're supposed to try it out and sometimes get bonked

hollow escarp
#

Yeah, doesn't help that I play elusiveness either

#

So if I die, I die

night delta
#

The chad elusiveness proactive defensive pepe_chad

hollow escarp
#

I mean, without it do we even have a personal?

golden loom
#

feint?

#

elusiveness only does something on things that feint doesnt work on

#

most things feint still works against

hollow escarp
balmy condor
#

I mean it’s just always better than cheat death if you can preplan cds

night delta
balmy condor
#

No

#

Feint is aoe attacks

#

Elusiveness is non-aoe attacks

night delta
#

Oh, I thought the wording meant evasion gave a blanket 20%

viscid spear
balmy condor
#

Oh evasion

#

Yes

#

Evasion is its own dr

#

The feint stuff doesn’t double dip

night delta
#

Yeah ok, so stacking evasion and feint does something

#

As I thought

viscid spear
#

I should swap out CD for Elusive, I keep forgetting

balmy condor
#

I honestly forget elusiveness gave evasion something KEKW

hollow escarp
#

Yeah, I thought that was a deathstalker thing lmao

#

I should read my talents now and then

balmy condor
#

I mean it’s also a deathstalker thing

night delta
#

I mean I take elusive solely because it turns evasion into a button that actually does something useful

#

In pve

balmy condor
#

That’s crazy

golden loom
#

evasion is already good on 2nd boss pit and skyreach birds!

balmy condor
#

You take it for the 2min cd minor dr

hollow escarp
#

In raid I'd probably stick with cheat death

balmy condor
#

And not the 15s cd?

night delta
#

I mean it's a plus, but I already feint for the dangerous aoe stuff

#

I imagine in raids there's more targeted damage that warrants CDs than in dungeons this season ?

golden loom
#

not playing cheat in raid feels like trolling imo

balmy condor
#

Yeah you always play cheat in raid

hollow escarp
#

In dungeons you may proc cheat to random shit and then you have -1 talent for the next 6 min

shy axle
#

is the new apex cdm tracking symbol just two times the same one with the same description?

golden loom
#

I mean if it saves a death and you dont die before it comes back then thats good

night delta
#

I guess a "permission to fuck up once" pass can be useful on certain encounters

golden loom
balmy condor
#

I could probably count the amount of fights where elusiveness was good on one hand

#

At least in the last like 3 expansions

viscid spear
shell plaza
#

OMG, assa FIXED !!

balmy condor
#

Elusiveness just kinda

shell plaza
#

whispyr new video when pls

golden loom
#

its like kyveza and nexus king ? any other

hollow escarp
balmy condor
#

Doesn’t do anything in raids idk

#

Everything is aoe anyway

#

It’s 20 man

golden loom
#

and the only reason for elusiveness on those fights is that cheat did nothing kekw

balmy condor
#

Yeah

hollow escarp
golden loom
#

even then on nexus king I think playing cheat just for the intermission platforms / p3 was better

balmy condor
#

I know it was good on shriekwing and sludgefist in nathria cause of the bleed

#

So that’s 4

#

Aaaaaaaand……

random fossil
#

you could say its use cases are

#

elusive

balmy condor
#

Can’t think of another fight in shadowlands, don’t think we ran it on anything in Dragonflight…

shell plaza
balmy condor
#

Maybe there was something in amirdrassil? But I can’t remember what

#

Smolderon was all aoe

#

Tindral was all aoe

golden loom
#

cheat is also just way more valuable as a prog tool cause if you fuck up early it allows you to prog further without just having someone dead and probably calling a wipe

balmy condor
#

True

#

Was like week 1 gallywix an elusiveness fight

#

I know later on it wasn’t but I think maybe super early it was used

#

Some people ran it on dimmy but that felt insane to me

#

Idk I guess I could scrounge together more than 1 hands worth

shell plaza
#

cant believe assa is fixed and there isnt a whispyr video alooj i wanna watch smt plssss

golden loom
night delta
golden loom
night delta
#

Felt awesome

balmy condor
#

Pretty sure feint + cheat could do that too

night delta
balmy condor
#

Did your 20 man raid have 18 carries

night delta
#

I remember I did 2 per fight

balmy condor
#

How often are you getting picked

golden loom
#

yeah like now with Belo'ren before the rogue benching they used cloak for 1 soak and cheat for the other soak

balmy condor
#

Yeh

night delta
balmy condor
#

I don’t think elusiveness can save you on belo, that shit cranks

night delta
#

Kinda wierd but just saying "I solo" and hear the RL say "What, again ?" felt good lol

balmy condor
#

It overkills through most defensives with solo soaks

spice surge
#

Tbf it feels like cheat fucking blows these days too. The 85% damage reduction rarely feels like it works

#

Like youll take one big hit that procs cheat and then a passive piss tick will just finish you off

#

Or its like 2 hit attack that just kills just straight through cheat

worn geyser
#

in terms of intangibles maybe its a me tbing but since swapping to elus in keys it helps me lock in more idk. skill issue for sure but helps me try and be more proactive in defensive usage personally

#

turns out fear of death is good motivation to use defensives

rugged basalt
#

I procrastinated on the clown death addon

grand basalt
#

Off the back of people's advise earlier just looking at fatebound. So do I actually need to do anything with regards to coin flip procs? Or basically just ignore it like a passive?

golden loom
#

fully passive

#

if i get PB in vault ill prob need to use bonus rolls on seat to have best chances at the 5 set pieces.

i basically need myth gaze or myth jewelry in my vault or i should just be taking tokens for bonus rolls

no extendo for us but i dont think we're reclearing alleria

prob just paladins

oh ye gz on the kill

sacred oyster
#

im gonna try for myth chim this week in pug too

nooj I just did first boss as collosuss arms

do you think I did a lot of boss dam?

I am gonna end up vaulting gaze on my alts before rogue I already know it

#

got it on DK last week and feel like warr/dh will roll it tomorrow..

i did pretty average overall on alleria but good boss dam

#

so im happy

#

didnt play sub

i guess pugging chim and first boss VS to keep loot pool smaller would be best odds to try that 1 vault slot on trinket lol?

#

wait there are no public assa beloren logs

worn geyser
#

I was checking egg dmg between the logs on 12.0 vs sub and theyre pretty similar from what I saw was thinking of staying same

coral ibex
#

nope no logs

worn geyser
#

yeah only from 12.0

coral ibex
#

shits fugged

golden loom
#

or nvm there are on 12.0

coral ibex
#

everyone is on sub

plush umbra
golden loom
#

I mean just logically assa cant be that bad for the egg

worn geyser
#

its like 210k egg phase vs like 225ish or 230 idk

coral ibex
#

no the problem with the egg phase is you dont start with cds up unless you hold and holding is cursed

fallen charm
#

if you use only KB on pull you get full burst on eggs no?

sacred oyster
#

thats what i always did on hc belo

coral ibex
#

yea but you need to meet the dps check for p1

sacred oyster
#

but i guess myths another ballgame

coral ibex
#

can't just let the bird live forever and get more soaks

golden loom
#

when do you phase

#

1.55?

coral ibex
#

about yea

golden loom
#

even if you send on pull you should get a full cd set no?

coral ibex
#

it was sloppy last night bc first prog night

gleaming geyser
#

deathmark on pull first GCD garf

coral ibex
#

and we didnt do heroic moqd as a guild

golden loom
#

like even if u dont have cds just as egg starts that shouldnt be that big of a deal

worn geyser
#

gives you time to get your shit up tbh

sacred oyster
#

how long is egg phase usually? if its > 30s still getting full cd period?

coral ibex
#

its 30s

#

i guess it shouldn't matter, it just feels bad to not be ready to blast as the egg appears

#

i think you have to hold vanish on pull so you can get full imp gar during the egg

sacred oyster
#

but that is based on if the p1 is strictly right around 2 mins though right.

coral ibex
sacred oyster
#

if you burn it even faster, screwed

golden loom
#

I mean even then you can just do the quick opener

#

and skip envenom

#

its nexus king all over again garf

#

but yeah holding vanish sounds very correct cause it covers the show thing

worn geyser
#

is there a particular reason the guilds lust first egg phase instead of 2nd, everyones cds even shammy should be back up for execute one no?

golden loom
#

and then in 2nd burn is where you really shine

gaunt herald
#

What encounters are better for assa vs sub typically?

sacred oyster
#

all are sin for me, i dont do sub lol. dont have any gear for it

#

but really from what ive seen in heroic ive not felt any reason why id try sub for it. adds are plenty handled by others

#

i feel like if groups struggling on ads, its not me being sin the problem

#

Are mythic and heroic crest caps ever going away?

well

Leaving it unpicked till I clear chim

sacred oyster

molten core? timewalking raid?

rugged basalt

I have 2/3 good odds on bonus loot: chest and gaze

sacred oyster

i hope i get a chest with avoidance too lol

#

chest head and PB would be my golden rolls

#

also i noticed the voidcores thing says /4 now. it looks like its depleting... i wonder if were only gonna get 3 weeks of it.

oh wait nvm, im dumb

thats season allowance of cores

as i just noted it was 2/4 before i picked them up on alt.

so enchanting and what 2nd prof i should use

grab the voidcores before i raid

royal lantern

i do blacksmith cus i did it since forever

chilly cove
#

mining + balcksmith is good?

sacred oyster
#

unless you got some rare recipe i dont have

#

i dont know if i wanna make a 2nd enchanting purple, or a mining purple, enchanting feels maybe better in long run, as mining continues to crash

royal lantern
#

nah, just weapon and chest enchants and have decent resourcefullness

#

aka

#

how you make money with enchanting since DF

onyx veldt
#

tailoring is good option too

#

and skinning

royal lantern
#

grab that resourcefull on gear, put resource enchants on your rod, put points into shatter and resourcefullness

#

craft a enchant with concentration+shatter active and get like 60% of the materials back

sacred oyster
#

i think resourceful is prob the one im now working on for shatter tree. i did multicraft aiming for the damn weapon oils but now i feel that was dumb though i havent tried to see if i can mass produce those at profit.

chilly cove
#

so, now I should better do enchanting?

royal lantern
#

bro its professions

sacred oyster
#

if you are just getting started now, im not sure what to suggest lol. you would need the kn owledge everyones gotten from the start

royal lantern
#

they exist to make gold if you put time into them, pick what you want

sacred oyster
#

if you want simpler quicker profits, get alchemy and specialize in potions. its the best easy profit margin ive got out of my professions.

#

flasks you gotta go heavy into spec for to profit off of, but i htink im there now. i have 2 purple gear, all flask talents maxed. i turned 140 lotus into 450 flasks over weekend during the major flask fiasco, man that would have been like 100k profit if someone hadnt ruined it.

haste flasks were break even on saturday, but someone dropped the price by 200g and killed it

sacred oyster

I orig was gonna do alchemy for flasks duration but someone incorrectly told me that enchanting had a perk that made enchanting its own gear stronger than what you buy off AH so i thought id stick with enchanting for a combat bonus perk... boy was he wrong lol.

you can buy auto hammers w/o engineering though and only 100g~

in trying out assa for the first time, the energy starve is a real problem for me. Any tips on pure single target where defensives are needed? Say second boss in Skyreach. Energy feels beyond awful (i'm at like 23% haste)

sacred oyster
#

coming back to this game from FF14 was such a downgrade in customization

sacred oyster
barren seal
#

Is 23% haste low? Feint legit feels like a rotation breaker all of a sudden

sacred oyster
#

either get Nooka Implacable or put Implac on your CDM to track when its at 80 then stop envenom and just refresh dots to let it drop off and give energy burst

barren seal
#

I am

analog field
#

23 is probably high

barren seal
#

oh really

sacred oyster
#

no thats not low pretty sure thats more than what I have, you're gonna never 'solve' the starve periods.

severe meadow

I have like, maybe 15% as assa

analog field

you will end up around 15-18

sacred oyster

I think im like 18%

yeah something like this

a little bit less than sub I'd say

raw vale
#

thanks

sacred oyster
#

i recommend having raid buffs on for raid sim but off for DS sim since they arent guaranteed there

zealous moth
#

Btw, remember dungeon overall dps depends mostly on the dungeon and your pulls

#

So dont expect to hit the same damage as the sims

sacred oyster
#

yeah i can hit 140-150k on POS but others only 100k (on 10 keys)

zealous moth
#

If the tank is pulling 3 adds at a time you'll never hit over 100k dps

#

A bit off topic but does anyone have something like a table/spreadsheet that shows updated values for one button rotation and assisted highlight for dps specs?

Trying to help a friend with some accesibility issues and im trying to see if those are even viable

are there any other classes that are benefiting from the sharpening stones over thal oil or is it just rogues?

Yeah i saw it there but las update was like mid 2025

barren seal

analog field
#

also fok and CT give cp for every crit

#

if you need one builder for one spender you will reach 5 stacks faster so you will be full of energy

#

Like it was in tww s3

#

where we had huge amounts of crit and you muti envenom

radiant otter
#

mutilate also counts as 2 dagger attacks which can each both crit

sacred oyster
radiant otter
#

but yeah mut costs a lot and finishers don't so crit makes you way more energy efficient

analog field
#

for assa the one button has no ct

#

so it is not viable in practice

sacred oyster
#

yep

barren seal
# analog field also fok and CT give cp for every crit

Gotcha. Didn't play then. I will say, it's an edge case for me. It's single target in an m+ build. I have no issues in pure st builds. I don't understand how pooling on 80 stacks is enough in keys. Edit: Feels as if I'm missing something
