Only thing cool about death stalker is dry shiv

balmy condor
#

ah yes, the classic deathstalker mini game of "press shiv at 6cp if you have darkest night, when in cleave and st"

#

my favorite

marsh fjord
#

Look at my comment above yours

balmy condor
#

it's not even a dry shiv

#

it's just for the fucking cheap cp

#

it's so insanely cringe

#

It's nostalgia tho

This is assassination

#

❤️

balmy condor
#

you know you're in assassination channel

#

when we're advocating for bringing things back

#

that were bitched and moaned and complained about every day for months if not years like a fucking plague spreading its brainworms to every user in the discord server

analog field
#

bring back restealthing

balmy condor
#

so true

analog field
#

2 charges of vanish it was the best feeling

#

but I was here every day complaining about tanks

balmy condor
#

while you talk about bringing back stealth effects and deathstalker

#

lemme just

analog field
#

no

#

kill me

#

not you

#

you won't escape this reality so easily

#

Bring back sepsis as a AoE CD, instead of ST and it applies nature* dmg taken to all targets, which would be perfect for a DM sepsis kb scenario

BRING BACK EXSANG

outlaw in the great 2008 ?

#

are you a time traveller?

balmy condor
#

buddy if I was a time traveler, I would've told my younger self to not join a world of warcraft discord server

#

which would've created a time paradox and ripped the fabric of spacetime apart

IN MY DISCORD?

analog field
#

I ask for forgiveness

balmy condor
#

That’s how religion works too, you get a pass

#

Why ask for permission when you can just do some bullshit and ask for forgiveness afterwards

grim jay
#

make it a business

balmy condor

True

i mean if you don't mention the monster fridge

I'd listen to everyone with a monster fridge

#

really just wanted to say how assa is satisfying to play sometimes, defensive CDs is so great especially after randombulshitgo feral things

#

only 2 things I don't like is vial 4 sec to heal and no ability to skip skyreach wind puzzle

little tulip
#

put shadowstep on a mouseover macro

#

and blink on the first guy who makes it

dry mural
#

with the changes coming tomorrow which rogue spec would be the best for M+ in trying to hit 3400io?

low silo
low silo
quiet star
little tulip
#

sub is probably a touch easier to play

low silo
#

Nah even with double step I just sprint and run through the winds

little tulip
#

but doesn't matter really

low silo
#

But you can run the march thingy specifically for skyreach I guess

little tulip
#

if you have a tank doing low target count sin is better but baller tanks make sub go off

quiet star
little tulip
#

nope there's a line up on the staircase out of boss

analog field
#

and shadowstep

#

every spec does the same

little tulip
#

just be jumpin like a lock gate skip and blink

analog field
#

but it doesn't matter

quiet star
analog field
#

like what ? save 10 sec or ?

low silo
#

10 seconds is 10 seconds

analog field
#

I see people dying on this shit many more times

#

which is 15 sec

little tulip
#

just be on the edge of the staircase that's a ramp

analog field
#

yeah but it is 10 but you don't lose 10

#

cause you need to cast the thing

#

so if you were there and helped you would save like 3?

quiet star
#

because if guys fails for whatever reason

#

you need to run

analog field
#

if people die there trying to go faster

#

you deplete key

quiet star
#

it's not a problem overall, just siad what I don't like

analog field
#

for no reason

#

it is one of these things where if you do perfectly you save like 3-5 sec

#

and if you fail and 3 of you die you lose 45 or something

quiet star
#

I guess even outlaw can do that

analog field
#

outlaw can yes but many can't also

#

and many try to cheese and die

#

which is way worse than just sprinting

quiet star
analog field
#

i pugged a 15 +3 skyreach

#

if you are doing 22's you need to

#

no one is practicing this in 17's or something

#

they just do it and some achieve it and some don't

little tulip
#

but also sin looks really good with baller tanks sooo

#

i dunno

analog field
#

you end up doing such things

#

instead of just running

little tulip
#

i had a death knight in a 16 yesterday and a ret which i think has a ranged kick completely ignore that one caster in maisara where you get the first hex guardian on the yoda route

#

actually gave me double depression

high sundial
#

If I want to craft a ring, which embellishment to choose? Seems like Arcanoweave Lining is no-go for ring

glossy galleon
little tulip
#

if you don't have 2 crafted pieces and bis pants which is our non tier slot this season

#

you could embell a ring but idk why you would

high sundial
#

Had a wrist mythic bis stat drop so I was thinking off replacing my crafted wrist with a ring

#

(my current craffted wrist is ilvl 259)

little tulip
#

you can get the rings out of nexus point which are about as good as the stuff out of raid that everyone wants

#

what about a belt?

high sundial
#

true, only got a HC belt. is that better to craft then ring?

little tulip
#

sim it

#

i simmed cloak ring and neck a few ago and they're all like within .2 of each other

high sundial
#

ok thanks

#

thanks

sacred oyster
#

we have lots of good ring choices so i regret crafiting my ring as i dont use it now lol

clear knoll
#

If you tricks the tank does it last the whole hour it shows or I have to reapply it when the ticker falls off

sacred oyster
#

it lasts only like 6s after your first combat spell

#

so yes you gotta do it every pull

#

get TanksMD addon and put that macro button on your stealth bar too

coral ibex
#

1hr tricks is only for trickster specs

onyx crane
#

so if I do dps close to what I sim, why do I parse so poorly?

grim jay
#

because sims arent meant to show your actual dps in fights

#

and parses have nothing to do with sims

onyx crane
#

cuz idk how to improve

#

outside of fight familiarity maybe?

sacred oyster
#

in real raid you may have stuff like 20 people all using arcanoweave lining giving lots of team buff going on. adds padding dps that wasnt there in a sim.

low silo
clear knoll
#

Ahh so tricker specs don’t have to reapply it?

grim jay
#

depends on a lot of things outside of your control, everything else could be seen in a log review

low silo
#

First week on chimmy I sent death mark and kingsbane right before transition thonkerguns

sacred oyster
#

on chim do yall try to get some more hits in before pulling off to the ads? timing wise its like cds are always happening right as soak happens. but gotta be quick if want to try to CT the imp gar to an ad

frosty cedar
frosty cedar
sacred oyster
low silo
#

I did not, I got 3 globals. Was a feelsbad

frosty cedar
#

on mythic chim, for first add group, you want to be taking the gate as you go so its not really about getting some hits in

#

my strategy is to omit the first envenom on pull, use cooldowns on boss, vanish close to soak time, so that there is enough time to refresh imp gar on boss + double imp gar the big add after gate + shadowstep

#

I think thats optimal opener

sacred oyster
#

oh my group didnt use a gate, is a pug, but we didnt have issues with dieing in soak 1, it was soak 2 ppl were struggling with to get sep

frosty cedar
#

should still be possible

sacred oyster
#

so you cd like 2s before pull vanish then hit as much as you can?

frosty cedar
#

on pull for mythic chim im doing garrote, build, rupture, puzzlebox, DM, Kb

#

rather than building an entire envenom before the first DM KB

sacred oyster
#

yeh i havent been doing env first either but man still always getting in soak before full cd/kb is usedd

frosty cedar
#

you dont get to use your entire DM KB on the boss on pull if you are add group 1, so this way you get about 3 more globals in CDS on the boss and more time to stack KB

little tulip
#

sending it on chim before intermission helps with doing the solo tank in the last down phase

#

it's worth if everyone cranks

sacred oyster
#

i then step when soak knocks up to get down faster and hit some more

little tulip
#

u just kingsbane the big guy and spread bleeds

#

when its back up

frosty cedar
#

if your wanting to parse or go for rank 1, you are going to be wanting to imp gar the adds, theres not much way around it, consider shadowstepping to an ally and then to the big add in line with the strategy i mentioned before if theres no gate

#

in the first set, of course

subtle tundra
#

i fucking HATE parsing

little tulip
#

right it's like not even like turbo boost hours yet

frosty cedar
#

at least its ethical on assa garf_sit

sacred oyster
#

well not trying to bring parse % at sacrifice to total usefulness, just making sure maximizing effectiveness for the kill

frosty cedar
#

outside of dragons ofc

#

did some henious things to dragons with that SD build

frosty cedar
sacred oyster
#

i tried pug myth chim this weekend, didnt get far, but dont feel like i messed up, just i think tanks were struggling on getting group 2 down w/o overlap

frosty cedar
#

pug is tuff

#

glad I aint have to do that

random pelican
#

The toughest thing is the interrupts

random pelican
lime edge
#

When i tried pugging it the hardest part was the dmg

grim jay
#

the hardest part is about dps players and their interrupts

frosty cedar
#

luckily we are super good at the intermission adds but the ranged kicks can be a problem

sacred oyster
#

yeah if everything went as smooth in our group 2 as our group 1 it prob would have been better, but as it goes ppl quit each wipe

random pelican
#

The interrupts are just tight. Even with backups it takes a few pulls. People gotta use their cc too

sacred oyster
#

what do you mean by "solo tank" in last phase. theres a case where both tanks go down and no ones tanking up top?

coral ibex
#

you just send one tank down

#

and burn the boss

random pelican
#

No, theres a case where you send only one tank, no heals no dps down

#

Yeah

coral ibex
#

nobody else goes down for the last group

mortal crag
#

Only if you can burn it before it consumes everything though right

random pelican
#

Yeah

sacred oyster
#

ah interesting

coral ibex
#

you have a lot of time tho

#

from when the soak happens to when consume starts

#

it prob 45 seconds if not a minute

mortal crag
#

Feel like it’s gotta be under 10% maybe

frosty cedar
#

yeah plus it cant consume them when they are in a diff phase, so they stay there for the full duration

#

even if the tank dies

#

you can do it at like 40% boss hp

mortal crag
#

Really

coral ibex
#

yea we dont do any more down phases after intermission

frosty cedar
#

yep thats the play

mortal crag
#

Do you hold lust?

random pelican
#

No

coral ibex
#

as a guild who has been clearing it every week for multiple weeks

#

can't speak to pugs

#

pugs prob can't do it

#

pugs can barely kill chim in any capacity

mortal crag
#

On mythic right?

random pelican
#

Yeah its one intermission and burn before 2nd pne

#

One*

coral ibex
#

yes mythic

clear knoll
#

So CT will still spread poisons even if I’m not targeting my initial target?

mortal crag
#

Dam that’s crazy

frosty cedar
#

correct

#

CT isnt about targetting anything

#

it spreads bleeds if it hits a target with a bleed, and a target without a bleed

#

it spreads the highest bleed of the ones hit

#

CT like other abilities also can apply poison

royal lantern
clear knoll
#

I meant bleed my bad but I’m guessing it’s the same

frosty cedar
#

yep

oblique swallow
#

Its got a really nice range too, handy when you TOT on a tank and they are pulling one pack to the next, you can dot up the first pack and just spread it onto the 2nd/3rd etc

mortal crag
#

How many times do you normally have to press ct for it to get everything

coral ibex
#

well ct spread poisons to everything you hit but only spreads bleeds to 2 targets

oblique swallow
#

It also generates a fuck tonne of CP, so make sure you are able to funnel them into your prio target

weary stump
#

Has anyone checked if crimson tempests animation is crimson or not garf_sit

oblique swallow
#

It is a very healthy shade of BLOOD clour

mortal crag
#

I normally play sub and tried assa tonight on vanguard

weary stump
#

So you're saying it's more carmine

mortal crag
#

Fucked it royally

frosty cedar
# onyx crane but how to play correctly

its a little difficult to say without being asked a specific question on how to play a certain part or how to use an ability properly. generally take the most efficient action for each global you cast? if your begining with assa I would suggest the guide and playing it and then asking questions about something specific if that makes sense

oblique swallow
frosty cedar
#

they look like lil fishes

spice surge
#

How does that even work man

frosty cedar
#

calm grail
#

Instead of occasionally stepping to the wrong target

little tulip
#

it's stooper useful

#

im gonna try /cleartarget and /targetlasttarget in my focus macro to see i can get it to stop grabbing the wrong guy

#

also i think there's a way to make it only target hostile enemies?

quiet star
#

but thx

little tulip
#

trust it's probably why blizz hasn't updated it

#

i just started using it today

quiet star
calm grail
#

In theory, could you make a focus macro that targets all the annoying casters in all dungeons if you were super lazy? Obviously it would have flaws a mile long, but could it be possible?

#

Just for going to a new pack and quickly grabbing something

little tulip
#

go find one of those pvp coders who writes auto kick scripts

random pelican
#

Its been my experience that the more i try to automate shit, the more i experience the use cases where the rigidity bites me in the ass lmao

calm grail
#

Tricky bit is pugging when you all think "Yeah that arcanist cadaver is going to get ignored" So then everyone has the same thought and there's no kicks left for the other bois

mortal crag
#

Y’all don’t tricks the evoker?

little tulip
#

yeah im also putting a marker syntax in my focus macro

calm grail
#

I should do that.

#

"Hey guys, I always kick this shape"

calm grail
#

How do you add a marker bit into your focus macro?

#

I miss the old WA's that did that.

sacred oyster
#

i was actually looking at the idea of macro target for all the common prio targets too, as like those ymirs can be annoying to click target on the back of the dragon

sacred oyster
#

not for kicks but just ease of getting on prio target in big pulls

grim jay
#

you just click the nameplate

sacred oyster
#

nameplates jiggle

grim jay
#

I cant say that for mine

#

tbh

sacred oyster
#

do you not have stacking?

grim jay
#

I do, but they dont jiggle idk

little tulip
#

quazi deleted his plater setup guide and finding a good spot to fuss with it is a pain

#

horizontal stacking in the advanced tab doesn't seem to do anything?

sick rampart
#

Hey guys. Hope yall are doing good. Quick question about the puzzle box. Better to use before combat or during? Thanks in advance.

sacred oyster
little tulip
#

during

#

bleeds > pot > box > dm/kb

sacred oyster
#

i couldnt bleed for the screenshot though as i was in low lvl dungeon for testing lol, but they are on the left of the bar

#

need to get me a new screen while in a real key to update that

quiet star
sick rampart
#

Thank you guys. Appreciate you

sacred oyster
#

@grim jay ^ but you can see ultimately part of my issue is i deprio focus non casters/target to be smaller so that makes it a bit harder to find it in there

quiet star
little tulip
#

raw agi ups the bleed damage while you're casting puzzle

#

if you puzzle > pot then those ticks while you're channeling are weaker

sacred oyster
#

yeah i was playing with some apl sims and it acually put DM before PB also was a dmg increase too, prob for same reasons

little tulip
#

its literally giga nerd shiet

quiet star
little tulip
#

what do you mean

#

are you reapplying bleeds before starting dm/kb?

quiet star
#

I mean usually you don't spread a lot before box

grim jay
#

comparatively

quiet star
#

and wasting pot on those two seconds sounds strange

little tulip
#

well member we're prio damage

quiet star
#

you will start spreading after box

sacred oyster
little tulip
#

just spread bleeds after kb envenom

quiet star
#

so more uptime of pot on higher amount of dots

little tulip
#

idk why you'd ct while box is rolling without big hit on your prio target sent

sacred oyster
#

sims actually do show having some bleeds spread first will be an increase some too, due to the agi buff for the entire duration of the CD. but yeah you gotta play it by ear on how fast are they gonna live.

quiet star
#

( still think it wouldn't change a lot, but interesting to discuss)

grave nova
#

Is sin uncapped aoe? And does it apply that quickly?

spice surge
#

No and no

calm grail
quiet star
spice surge
#

Or well, softcapped

quiet star
#

two ticks in st wouldn't change a lot

spice surge
#

But almost everything is softcapped nowadays

quiet star
#

but 2seconds in higher amount of targets will have more impact

little tulip
#

i mean a pot adds about 10k dps to your overall in dslice

grave nova
#

Realistically, whats your max targets? And whats ideal target number?

calm grail
#

Eleem, I'm a sub enjoyer, but Sub feels bad in keys for me. Break down why. 2 target fights just about drive me up the wall.

little tulip
#

and for me it's ctrl +z > shift + 4 > dm > kb > envenom > ct > env spam etc

quiet star
little tulip
#

if your pot button is in narnia i guess it might sound weird

grim jay
#

imo

quiet star
sacred oyster
calm grail
#

It's probably 100% feels, but when I'm on undead boss in Windrunner spire or Troll/Bird boss as Sub, it feels like I'm tickling the 2nd target. The DoTS feel strong though when I'm sin.

sacred oyster
#

well the more you space stacking things the more they can jiggle too lol

little tulip
quiet star
grim jay
#

yeah but mine dont and have more space

little tulip
#

i dunno my keybinds are pretty much pinky shift and mash keys

spice surge
little tulip
#

q/e fok for maximum circle strafing

spice surge
#

But spreading them to tons of mobs takes a long time

quiet star
#

still I guess poisons is easier

little tulip
#

if it's kind of a chain pull with cds coming up i'll spread bleeds

quiet star
#

but posions is something I still not completely understand

#

it may be applied or may not

little tulip
#

but first pull first try im just setting the prio target up

#

also our two/three target is hilariously bad compared to a mage just saying

#

those guys eat lol

quiet star
#

I guess pot before box make sense

weary stump
little tulip
#

if rain of toads guy dies faster thereby preventing someone from getting ree'd it's better for everyone

if you do more CT before burst

like 7+ targets with bleeds with pot should be nice

you use CT until everything bleeds, then its FoK time

no "just spam CT"

Small ones, like 5m radius and doesn't seem to disturb your teammates afaik

coral ibex
#

about the focus kick thing

humble verge
#

was simming .7% dps on it

#

so might swap to em

coral ibex
#

i believe its MDT that has

#

a focus macro announcement

#

and it can also put a marker in your focus macro

#

so whenever theres a ready check in m+ it says "my focus target is <symbol>"

fresh kelp
#

some people have said its workable

#

i tried it on beta and it was not in any way workable

maybe if a boss has a very large hitbox

important question: skyreach bird boss. does the egg dying explosion damage you?

mortal crag

Its for the other eggs

lime edge
#

It does no damage?

cunning needle
#

Correct

#

Im pretty sure it does a triple digit amount or something

#

But it doesn't scale

#

Idk just stand it

#

Same thing with circles on xenas last boss

#

They also dont do much damage and you can stack them

fresh kelp
#

does the dot not stack

cunning needle
#

Good question, I never realised it gave a dot

#

I want to assume no since we always stack them for funsies on a 10 to 12

#

But things don't do damage thst key level anway except the trash before boss

#

Like circle does some damage but not enough to concern

You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:

Lethals:

  • Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
    Non-Lethals:
  • Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB

Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used

Hey is it better in an aoe pull to spread all your bleeds and then rip deathmark or should you get imp garrote and rupture rip deathmark and then spread bleeds?

sacred oyster
#

technically yes its better to get some spread, but if they are gonna die fast timing wont matter there. i spread like 2-3 times first personally.

#

it maximizes your agi bonus for the duration of the DM

lime edge
#

In aoe you do gar > gar > fok > rupture > ct until 5 combo > envenom > box > dm > kb

#

And then u use more cts if u got more to spread

BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. On top of this, all stats being good on Assassination means there are currently over 500 "BiS" combinations that are within margin of error. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.

Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS from world content is especially not helpful, and we do not maintain any lists of these types. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character.

I just checked

gleaming imp
#

Same, it's different ;3

grim jay
#

you probably checked priority

#

and not opener

#

only the envenom placement is different

gleaming imp
#

So it's different :^)

grim jay
#

yeah so different that its functionally the same

gleaming imp
#

Nah bc he's also saying to ct before popping trinket, hence pretty different

grim jay
#

he only CTs because he wants to get an envenom

gleaming imp
#

Which is what I was agreeing with

grim jay
#

not because he wants to spread before CDs

gleaming imp
#

Why not just fan then

grim jay
#

because CT is better than fan

#

if not everything has bleeds

gleaming imp
#

exactly

#

Either way, it's different, and I agree with him

grim jay
#

brother that still doesnt mean you spread bleeds for the CDs

#

its literally different logic

grim jay
#

he probably does that purely because you envenom in ST before you use CDs

#

not because its better

royal lantern
#

pressing a single gcd with another skill cus at that point it doesnt matter what you press is not "different" lol

grim jay
#

you want quick openers in AoE

royal lantern
#

^

grim jay
#

wasting 3 more GCDs before you pop CDs can literally waste the most important parts of them

#

because that mob might just die while they are active

#

it not being a noticeable dps gain aside seemingly in any case, because whispyr would have included it that way if it was

#

so you just kinda run a risk with no tangible gain

runic hinge
balmy condor
# gleaming imp Nah bc he's also saying to ct before popping trinket, hence pretty different

I have to write my guide for a wide array of players, and the most common situation is that delaying cds leads to the mob dying before deathmark/kingsbane finishes. That’s why openers immediately press cds. If you’re playing high enough keys where you can afford to press envenom or even multiple envenoms before going into cooldowns, feel free to do so since you are getting scent stacked up beforehand. Hopefully you can understand why that’s not the base recommendation

Yea they gotta secrete it right

humble verge

^^

lime edge

Or something

balmy condor
#

they have to constantly make new poison

and the fangs are hollow

so they're basically making poison in these glands in their head

#

making a stew

#

and then when they bite and the fangs hit

#

they piss the poison into your skin through the fangs

grave nova

i hate it here

lime edge

So snake fang poison = pee

balmy condor

yeah, poison is stored in the balls

humble verge

thats why like when you see that one documentary of a guy extracting the most dangerous poison, the snake doesnt actually spit the poison straight away

balmy condor

well actually I guess it's more like shitting? idk I've never been a snake

you are a snake bro

the only difference between poison and venom

is that venom is injected

kingsbane is venom

does that mean c is venom

lime edge
#

No

fleet pagoda
#

venomnomnom

lone pasture
lime edge
#

Kingsbane is u force feeding the mob poisoned food

balmy condor
#

if touching the skin of the mob with kingsbane is lethal, then it's a poison

#

if you have to stab them and pierce skin to get the juice into their bloodstream

#

that would be a venom

lime edge
#

What if it only becomes bloodstream lethal after touching the skin

balmy condor
#

I don't think blizzard thought about any of these technicalities, because as a reminder, KINGSBANE IS THE NAME OF THE SET OF DAGGERS ITSELF, THE VENOM POISON IS PART OF THE DAGGER

#

like blizzard wants me to believe I'm stabbing, I'm stabbing

#

and every minute

#

I swap to these old ass daggers from like 50 years ago

#

stabbing cause they make a special toxin

#

and then swapping back

#

??????

To clarity I'm not saying all the damage comes from the environment, I'm saying rather than buff the % it should just apply to all the damage, which is what it seems like it should be doing

Do you still need to envenom the same target for caustic spatter? Say if you accidentally change target, do you make sure to swap back to the "main" one

spice surge
#

If you envenom another target that target now has spatter on it

balmy condor
#

Envenom applies it yeh

thorn thorn

So you just want to auto attack the target you recently envenomed

Because apex talents don’t have different names

they could've had a little mini 3 node tree at the bottom but I suspect things UX-wise were getting cluttered enough as it is

grave nova
#

why are we pressing fok in aoe after tempest if tempest does more damage and has longer range?

#

sorry for goofy questions, just setting things up and making sure i dont miss stuff

spice surge
#

Crimson tempest costs a lot more energy

#

So if you dont need to spread bleeds, its better to fok

grave nova
#

do you ever mutilate in aoe?

no

envenom is our only spender besides rupture now too?

on the flip side, do we ever press fok in ST. Also at how many targets do you swap to fok, just 2+?

Fok/Generator Conditions in Midnight
Always finish on 5+ combo points, or go to maximum with Darkest Night Envenom

the problem with that, which is what we used to do via macro

and it goes off cause no tea

it was like 12 hours ago if you scroll up you ll find it
