#

guys should i wait untill my KB give me cp or better press anybuilder and envenom?

balmy condor
#

it takes a full gcd for kb to give you your cp

#

you aren't waiting for anything

#

the next gcd is always envenom

nova aspen
#

they should give all wowhead guide writers their own title in game

#

whispyr, guide writer

#

that way people can ask u questions in game too

get enough io and people wil just randomnly dm you walking about town

Been asked a fair bit how good "insert my spec here" is so often in pugs. (mostly because i always tend to play the off meta specs, most the time unintentionally)

Ey, the new Spore Ring from the new raid in 0.7.

Will it be any good for Sin? Nature damage from poison proccing the ring dot?

Guys, just a few questions:

  1. Does it matter to imp garrote before or after DM? Just to understand the better use of vanishes
  2. Kingsbane should be held after what duration? Sometimes between packs i have kingsbane and 35~40s of dm in cd. what to do then?
  3. How is pooling working now? Should I be paying attention to spatter or envenom buff? of Apex? I saw the FAQ but it does not mention any pooling. In longer fights I feel that I starve energy more

#

thoughts on using this for MH? its a Survival hunter trick. not sure how it compares to the flat stats

safe barn
#

Oh, I was playing wrong then. I was dropping envenom only when energy was needed. I see now that I need to drop it more often, just careful to not overcap.

safe barn
balmy condor
#

Yeah it depends way too much on what’s happening in the dungeon

#

Sometimes you would want to hold kb, sometimes dm

mortal basin
#

Do you puzzlebox into Reck Pot or Reck pot for crit then Puzzle?

coral ibex
#

we dont reck pot

balmy condor
#

Yeh preferably the answer would be neither

frosty cedar
#

@balmy condor how is lura going we started it last night

balmy condor
#

Getting regular p2 pulls

#

It’s way better than bird

frosty cedar
#

its fuckin great so far, fuck bird

#

our comp is so insanely cooked that I might even be getting PI in p3

#

the forbidden tech

frosty cedar
#

well a lot of people looked at the ulria sheet for PI assigns which is a bit cooked becuase he sends it at 0/120/240 and assa uses like 9 seconds in, so its not as bad on assa as the sheet makes it seem to be. Im doing assignments for our raid, so im simming all of the targets, and in execute, im the second highest gain so far OMEGAKEKW

#

only the ele sham has higher gain, and ele sim is fake news most days

carmine seal
#

Im new to Assass. Can someone explain how the apex talent works?

sharp viper
#

!apex

prisma monolithBOT
#

Implacable is bugged in Blizzard's Cooldown Manager, there is no way to "fix" it without an addon. It can mostly be ignored without losing more than ~0.8%

If you'd like an addon to track implacable, search for Nooka Implacable or use the Curseforge Link

carmine seal
# sharp viper !apex

so let me know if I understand this correctly from reading stuff and the guide. if I am low on energy I want to let envenom BUFF fall OFF to regain energy?

#

and another question - in AoE such as M+ do I want to just throw envenoms into 1 target and funnel or spread it to multiple targets

frosty cedar
#

I can help if you don't mind

carmine seal
#

pls

frosty cedar
#

so for the Apex, generally, you want to let it drop off at max stacks - 80 stacks, thats 5 envenoms - if you would othjerwise not overcap energy by waiting

#

so if waiting will make you overcap energy, you should send another envenom instead, and keep doing so until you can wait and not overcap

#

does that make sense?

carmine seal
#

yes

frosty cedar
#

in AOE, jsut focus one guy. you will spread bleeds as your builder until all mobs have bleeds, then use fan of knives and envenom just one guy

#

spatter will spread your envenom damage automatically

carmine seal
#

gotcha

#

and even though the tracker says it can track our apex, it cannot correct?

frosty cedar
#

I suspect its neutral to ignore the apex during deathmark if you just want to giga spam in any event

carmine seal
#

awesome

#

appreciate my new rogue friends. minus in arena. fuck yall

Checking through old things and i forgot how many shitpost whisypr images i made

#

The 0.7% number is how much it is over using oil

lilac saffron
#

Do you use Crippling Poison for m+ or is it not necessary? I read somewhere that it makes gathering the adds harder

jolly isle
#

My rotation feels good, but my positioning is poopoo. I'm nearly at the top of 'avoidable damage taken' every dungeon. I'm a new melee player, does anybody have some general melee positioning tips? things you look for when predicting where the tank will move the boss, etc?

lilac saffron
sharp bramble
#

any good ideas how to get good parses in mythic voidspire when the adds just explode due to high gearing in groups?

#

did a really good parse on vanguard and the dragons (saw that people play sudden demise) but on chimaerus for example i just cant keep up with the good parses

tame flame
sharp bramble
#

also tried that but cant come anywhere near the high parses

tame flame
#

with caustic splatter talent ofc

sharp bramble
#

as long as there are some adds i always have at least caustic with me

tame flame
#

I don't parse high as assa I can't answer sorry

sharp bramble
#

no problem mate

tame flame
#

but if you compare with asian parses they do weird sh*t sometimes

#

so don't mind them

sharp bramble
#

yeah. fuck them 😄

acoustic roost
#

Just go full single target and 100% the boss then sort by boss damage. Ez

are there any addons to show for example how many adds do not have the bleeds?

#

can any strong m+ players review a log for an 18 nexus point? im doing trash tier damage (13th percentile) compare to other players at this key level. would appreciate any tips.

coral ibex
#

send log

indigo epoch
#

sent, ty

coral ibex
#

dont send it to me

#

lol

#

put it in this channel

coral ibex
#

11 dm's in 28 minutes

#

you're losing casts

indigo epoch
#

probably holding to long for when i think bosses are coming up, should i just send it and not worry about timing?

coral ibex
#

well you'll have to hold somewhat

#

but every lost cast is lost damage

indigo epoch
#

oh, yeah that makes it pretty clear

coral ibex
#

the #2 log for 18 npx for assa has 10 casts in 24 minutes

#

so they also do some holding

spice surge
#

You dont really want to "hold for bosses"

#

Generally anytime you can get value out of your cds

#

Send them

#

(for example dont send if the mobs are gonna die 5 seconds into your DM)

indigo epoch
#

thanks all, appreciate the help.

#

Someone tried tellin me as night elf you can not meld to gain stealth and use bigger garrrote … this true? In keys?

spice surge
#

You can, its just sketch and doesnt always work

#

But also its not a big deal

storm forum
#

You can meld for restealths in non-boss/non-gauntlet trash

#

but yeah it doesn't always work

#

sometimes it needs half a second to actually drop combat

balmy condor
#

And sometimes it just doesn’t work at all!

storm forum
#

sometimes it drops instantly but something randomly puts you into combat and you miss the window to stealth

#

and yeah sometimes it doesnt work at all

#

I do think that for some reason it is easier this season than last expac

#

I think I currently have like an 85% restealth rate on meld

runic hinge
#

Yeah it’s been pretty good this season. Wonder if they tweaked it at all or it’s just luck or something with a lower amount of casts

storm forum
#

my current theory is that 1. less true sight mobs, 2. yeah what you said, less casters/snipers, 3. more humanoids with small hit boxes.

Hi whispyr

balmy condor

Hello nintern

Slice and dice is not used in assassination rotation correct? I assume so since guides dont mention it but wanted a sanity test.

How’s assassination

balmy condor
# obsidian kettle How’s assassination

It’s like devourer except we run out of steam after our ramp and we don’t have a raid buff and we don’t bring darkness and we’re melee and we have less aoe damage and we’re worse single target and we have less mobility and we can’t get into pugs and we can’t get a guild to trial us and we’re all homoerotic

obsidian kettle

Are you worse st than us?

#

Like pure st?

Surely not

I never played assa though lol

But like maybe music > math?

obsidian kettle

I loved history

In that case music fucking clears

iron thorn
obsidian kettle
#

I mean even discarding pruning, a lot of the spec trees are just really bad

iron thorn
#

Indeed

obsidian kettle
#

Like Void-Scarred for Devourer is eternally 10-15% behind because it just doesn’t have enough points

thorn thorn
#

There are a lot of losers though

#

Assa was a winner

#

I think like

#

4 specs in the entire game actually are winning in terms of how they feel post pruning dracthyr_lulmao

iron thorn
#

I miss the vanish spamming outlaw

#

I miss my omega burst sectechs

#

I miss AR Havoc

thorn thorn
#

current havoc is bis

iron thorn
#

Idk

#

Might just be that I haven’t played it with proper stats

#

But I feel like it all feels less fun since it doesn’t play AR anymore

thorn thorn
#

The dh specs in general in my experience are heavily reliant on stats

obsidian kettle
thorn thorn
#

I like it

#

Press meta do big boom

obsidian kettle
#

Devourer is arguably the most secondary reliant spec in the game

iron thorn
#

Having too much fun with Vengeance right now to even think about collecting gear for havoc

obsidian kettle
#

And the hardest to play optimally 😎

thorn thorn
#

I got laughed at for my trinkets

obsidian kettle
#

Yeah

iron thorn
#

Originally I wanted to play Dev on my dh

#

But I just noped out really quickly

#

Because I just did negative dmg

thorn thorn
#

I was gonna play devo but some twist of fate made me play enh instead

#

Massive mistake

#

If you ignore the few things enhance does really well it actually fucking sucks

iron thorn
#

Enhance was my first idea for an alt

#

But I’m happy I ditched it quickly and instead played Aug for a bit

#

That spec is insane fun

thorn thorn
#

As long as you are ok competing with fury warriors for last in pure ST

thorn thorn
#

Do you have your paw socks and tail yet

#

Optionally cat ears

iron thorn
#

Nah but I got the pink striped thigh highs

#

Hope that’s fine too

thorn thorn
#

good enough

iron thorn
#

Haven’t done a key as aug in like 3 weeks or so tho

#

Played my rogue some more because assa = fun and outlaw too

thorn thorn
#

Im playing devo and found out im actually goated at doing bad on that spec

iron thorn
#

We also finally found a healer to play with regularly and now our uh friend will level an arms

#

So phys comp is on the table

#

With me on either assa or outlul, idk which I prefer for keys yet tho

thorn thorn
#

Full physc comp
Look inside
Assa rogue

iron thorn
#

I mean we’re playing bear mw surv arms and me

#

So it’s probably outlaw?

royal lantern
#

our main mage stopped playing mage

#

and he was one of the rare GOOD mages

thorn thorn
#

We used to have 4 hpriests are our comp

#

But now its just 1

royal lantern
#

we actually lost the disc priest

#

cus midnight disc is just another reactive healer now

#

which is kinda dumb

iron thorn
#

I swore to myself that I will NOT return to healing at all after I heard of the pruning

#

Like I was a MW main

#

But I‘d rather play rogue than even current omega fotm MW

thorn thorn
#

dont worry mw didnt change much, you still spin perma

#

except now you literally spin perma and do nothing else

#

95% of your hps in aoe

iron thorn
#

That’s the thing, you didn’t spin before

royal lantern
#

the only healer we have that is kinda happy is the presvoker

but ONLY in raids

thorn thorn
#

very cool healer

royal lantern
#

in m+ pres just sucks so hard

#

its insane lol

iron thorn
#

Key healing was so much more fun in tww

#

With like crackling and actually doing a proper dps rota

thorn thorn
#

but now with the pruning its extremely hard to play in M+ properly because you do legit zero healing to people without double rejuv

royal lantern
thorn thorn
#

ya ignoring that

#

you had cultivation and springblossoms to keep your mastery value good

#

but now those are gone, and they buffed the mastery

#

Gotta keep lifebloom up perma cuz its strong except you also gotta keep rejuvs up otherwise your regrowth is extremely week and you do no healing except you also need regrowth spam because its a strong and cheap spell when ramped properly and the hot is mastery bonus except you also need wildgrowth for extra healing in aoe and dont forget about swiftmend because soul of the forest is now mandatory for the spec to function except oops you gotta spare some globals because as an rdruid people expect you do do good damage as well

#

Very cool healer

#

Just play rsham and drop surging totem

#

Done

iron thorn
#

Or like any clever person

thorn thorn
#

MW

iron thorn
#

Exactly

thorn thorn
#

because MW is mind blowingly easy and has infinite hps

iron thorn
#

And decent damage at the same time

thorn thorn
#

You could hook up a mycelial network to a keyboard and mouse and it could play MW

iron thorn
#

Because you legit just spin

thorn thorn
#

Meanwhile pres exists in M+

#

Pres and MW are from the same game btw

#

Ty blizzard

royal lantern
#

then i saw what mw does in keys

#

and it was like

#

"yeha.........."

#

we talk about the mw monk that asked for innervate cus he runs out of mana while never pressing mana tea btw

thorn thorn
#

funny enough it did do that on the beta

#

During raid testing it was guzzling more mana than arcane does

#

And even with perfect tea usage it was still ooming before any other healers were

iron thorn
#

Like this was good mw

#

Not this spin2win bs

thorn thorn
#

funny lightening

iron thorn
#

Instead you pressed tea on CD and used lightning

#

PEAK

#

But now Master of Harmony is a) dogwater and b) borderline unplayable because the WA for it doesn’t exist anymore because of some secret value shit

jaunty sky
#

the lightning big dmg was fun yeah

thorn thorn
iron thorn
thorn thorn
#

he ended at like 70k hps

#

Because tank pulled like a monster and he just pressed sck the entire time

iron thorn
#

I also love how you don’t spec into apex

#

Because why would the dmg conversion healer use pure healing talents

thorn thorn
#

I think the monks in general are opting out of the apex

Deathstalker buffs UPDATED V3

We are maybe safe from having to play Deathstalker. Wowhead talent/rotation page is updated with the info underneath (Updated <t:1780007224:R> )

TLDR Deathstalker is ONLY for prio damage in high m+ keys. It is notably worse in raid. You would not play it for general m+ keys. ONLY for prio.

After some initial testing from people, Deathstalker seems viable for the prio damage but not necessarily required at all. Especially when playing with other funnel classes like Ret Paladin, the increased prio damage seems overkill.

  • Deathstalker Mark damage increased by 30%
  • Clear the Witnesses buffs fok by 60% instead of 40%
  • Hunt them Down increased by 25%
  • Corrupt the blood buffs rupture by 20% instead of 10%
  • Darkest Night increases envenom damage by 35% instead of 30%

If you're going to play deathstalker, this puts prio damage in aoe on deathstalker at around 17-20% better than fatebound before the patch. If you're pushing in the 20-22 key range, you might want to consider it due to it being ~1% better in 6+ target aoe alongside the prio increase.

Deathstalker min-maxing
NEW TECH shoutout @vital flicker

  • Without Blindside in a mythic+ build, you would want to use fan of knives as your main generator in single target, only using mutilate when you have 3 stacks of Unshakeable Drive active in order to buff it. This is roughly 1% dps gain in ST with the patch

Old Tech Reminders

  • If you're in 3 or less targets, are talented into toxic stiletto on the class tree, and have darkest night active, you want to shiv at 6cp to get to 7cp
  • Always force darkest night envenoms to 7cp
  • You should keybind the new mark-moving ability. This can be used to quickly snipe a dying target to get a darkest night instantly. The impact of this is not in sims and the damage gain varies wildly based on the situation you are and your ability to execute this optimization. I do not recommend it, it is very difficult, but now you have the knowledge.

god i feel so sorry for sub guys sometimes

Because it’s far behind and nobody plays it

I’m why do people hate deathstalker

potent oracle

i’m confused you need a new key bind for ds mark?

royal lantern

while still being boring passive gameplay

#

worst of both worlds

That's a great way to put it

#

I remember in TWW being annoyed at having to vanish to switch targets in a raid lol. I thought they made it easier but haven’t played it

so. deathstalker has potency to be better than fatebound?

jaunty sky

I aint swapping 100%

fuck the 6%

And it is basically for like 3 bosses

It is just raid design

I’m confused, zerocool says deathstalker is going to do 7-8 % more in m+ than fatebound, after buffs, yet sims from whiysper show that it’s 2 % worse in m+

#

I'm glad I just now saw that Wowhead article, and only panicked about maybe having to play DS as long as it took to check the pins. Those of you who were sweating it before Whispyr ran the numbers have my sympathy

deep latch
#

AA, take mastery or vers

#

already at crit soft cap

solid hemlock
#

idm playing DS for like AA or Caverns

spice surge
#

Well "crit soft cap" doesnt exist

solid hemlock
#

will test it

high sundial
#

I mean.. What about of clowns the guys deciding stuff on rogues are

spice surge
#

But you should generally be taking vers on pretty much all characters in academy

deep latch
spice surge
#

That has literally nothing to do with the academy buffs

#

And its mostly irrelevant anyway

lament bolt
#

Aren't like all the other stats a rating buff, while vers is a % buff and that's why it's generally taken by everyone?

spice surge
#

All of them are %

earnest imp
#

does deathstalker kinda look good in m+ now

spice surge
#

But 1% of vers requires more rating than 1% of crit

#

So its generally about the same dps to grab vers as it is to grab anything else

#

But vers is also 1.5% reduced damage taken

#

So why not

pure bridge
#

Hmmm, DS numbers are overall lower, but the 30% prio damage is not nothing. Will have to test it in specific dungos.

earnest imp
#

Yeah, that 30% sounds like a lot in many places, like AA ie

spice surge
#

Idk most meta specs already have good prio, youll be having the big mob die way before the small mobs most of the time

#

At which point the prio is kinda pointless

earnest imp
#

thats true also

royal lantern
#

like idk

#

yeha sure people can start screaming "its not HIGH keys"

#

but when i do a +19 and a big enemy still sometimes dies before my deathmark runs out

#

going for "prio dmg" feels a bit overkill kekman

earnest imp
#

ye havoc kinda looking to get similiar treatment

pure bridge
#

Maybe we kill the "other" big enemy lol.

earnest imp
#

xd

latent kernel
# deep latch

Wouldn’t you have to like insanely stack one stat to even reach one of these breakpoints anyways

ebon steppe
#

In my mind

#

prio dmg in this season

#

even with fatebound that we are playing rn

#

is quite enough

#

every fucking time the primary target dies first

#

maybe that's because my team has a dk in it

#

but yea

how does ds fare in terms of energy regen

So at start of a key , on first pull what part of rotation is vanish used ?

solar gate
#

Hey, got a maybe-stupid question. With the AOE opener, why do we garrote twice instead of doing garrote fan rupture and then refreshing improved garrote towards the end of the 6 second window?

lavish hazel
#

@spice surge is it bleed build time with singular focus

spice surge
#

Unfortunately i dont think its time yet, the corrupt the blood buff is kinda minor and you still need waste a point going through amp poison to get the +20% rupture talent for some reason

#

One day though, when whispyr leasts expects it, BleedBuild will return

lavish hazel
#

its crazy to drop dtb and still take amp poison

buoyant herald
#

i mean it still works

spice surge
#

Well if youre not taking the envenom talents like RI deadly is better

#

But yeah its dumb that you have to take it to get the bleed damage

lavish hazel
#

wht do you mean

#

oh ok

#

go it

#

is it a play in keys like pit or smthing

spice surge
#

I dont think its gonna be better than the regular build, but i do love big demises

buoyant herald
#

it's a low key build sudden demise

lavish hazel
#

i mean

#

is demise worth in 22

#

probably not

#

maybe in seat?

solar wyvern
#

Definitely not

buoyant herald
#

demise is good when packs are dying before your first round of bleeds are over

lavish hazel
#

compared to envenom nodes if you dont take amp?

#

maybe this idk

solar wyvern
#

Oh u mean if ur not playing amp period

lavish hazel
#

yes

#

you take amp in talent cuz you have to but ignore it and go deadly

solar wyvern
#

Yeye

spice surge
#

I mean if youre not playing dtb i think you should get demise

#

But i think dtb is just too stronk

lavish hazel
#

i think 10% bleed with deathstalker

solar wyvern
#

I didnt realize u were still talking bleed and not in general

lavish hazel
#

i mean

#

the reflexion is

#

we have a insane amont of prio

#

but if we go deathstalker do we go with less single and more bleed

#

and singular focus goes brr

sharp stump
solar wyvern
#

And singular target goes blehhh

lavish hazel
#

blehh or brrr

#

this is the quesiton

sharp stump
#

Cause yeah in theory that’s more empowered garrotte damage by a couple seconds, probably minor stuff though

solar wyvern
#

Curious

#

Just how far behind it is

lavish hazel
#

im a golem for sims
