Yes
whisp
is CT even worth it on lura anymore
idk, feels kinda wasted at this point instead of just spatter
im just playing spatter only 
p1 wipe factory
No
just playing my own character on this fight is a banger
but I have no responsability 
outside of first kick

@balmy condor Heya man, just wanted to say hope ur having a good one
@severe meadow
jkl u stink
Honest question guys
Im trying to find whats best to use for M+ and Raid
Im very lost and confused
Cause im trying to be optimal in my raiding for the last tier
and also gear up for M+ cause its the content im gonna be spamming after
Right now, most of the gear I have are almost BIS for M+ Sub, but i dont think sub is great for m+ compared to sin
idk if i should still try to gear myself up for sin so my m+ run goes better
is this my guild?
its mine
oh wait we havent killed yet
heroic?

Is my bars broken or does crimson tempest only spread to 2 targets?
That is what the spell says it does yes
So am I spamming this in M+ - The way i read it was spread with tempest then use FoK from that point onwards
So it threw me off when it wasnt spreading over much
You use it until every target is bleeded and you're not able to spam it due to high energy costs. In really big pulls, you wont be energy starved so you can just keep pressing CT instead o FoK
And should I at any stage be not envenoming on large enough packs? And only spamming CT/Fok?
Or is it always going to be spend the combopoints
Okay, I also feel like on the 12s I am not sending Deathmark and Kingsbane because stuff dies so fast - Should I alwways be saving it for a boss ideally?
Or just send it on packs even if it wont be up on a boss
send on prio target before spreading dots
Before spreading? Okay - Jheeze I watch a video and itll tell me, dont envenom on high target and spead then use CDs
As said above, once you reach 5cps just envenom
you can check that in warcraftlog, in dungeons like AA first pull, since people here loves zerocools will use his logs as a example, he did 2 spread before CDs, but always envenom at 5+ combo points
thats AA +21 first pull
Are there moments in your rotation that energy just runs out and you miss a global or two waiting for energy to perform an action? I experience that and wonder if its telling of a bad rotation
intended class design, even our apex talent encourages that, since you wait before envenom to let it drop and gain energy regen
at 80 stacks
okay cool. my damage was staying steady but it felt like i was doing nothing but autoattacking lol
Deadly Poison and Atrophic right>?
!poisons
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
in just over 2 weeks

Is it fine to only use 1 non-lethal poison? I don’t like crippling
Ye its fine
Ty
Hello! new to assa rogue, i have a question when it comes to aoe, i see people rotating Crimsom Tempest and Fan of Knives, i know crimsom is for spreading bleeds, but when is enough crimsom spam and when its time to swtich to Fan spam? Thanks in advance :D
When you no longer need to spread bleeds
assa and sub use the same stats for the most part, should be fine either way
You no longer need to spread bleeds when everything has two or more bleeds
You might ask yourself "how would i even manage to only spread 1 bleed to certain targets?"
And for that theres no answer, sometimes it only spreads one of them, for fun
If this has already been asked....please give me grace and point toward the pin/resource that answers.....
Is there an optimal time to use Puzzlebox? With Deathmark?
late tier ocean boiling for that 0.1% dps increase
what purpose does an ocean serve if not to be boiled for 0.1% dps
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
right before deathmark. if you have time for an env before the DM, right before that env is also acceptable
So on a boss.....assuming all CDs are available....what does the opener look like with puzzelbox?
something like:
gar, mut, gar/rup (order depends on crits), build to 5+, env/box (order depends on preference), dm, kb, env, mut/env spam
when do you hit your pot during that
on dm
so box first, pot, then dm and so forth?
you can macro pot with dm
good idea
you can make a macro and keep dm on a separate button if you wanna use pot during damage amps
or just not worry about it
does spreading garrote via crimson tempest proc aoe silence with tripwire?
no
goddamit
what's the nuance behind dropping envenom buff? do i just stack it as high as possible?
Stack as high as possible. Drop it if you are energy starved. Repeat
You want to drop it everytime you hit 80 stacks if you don't cap yourself on energy doing so from my understanding.
I might be wrong cause I suck.
need this as flair
also why is archon showing that they are alternating casts of death mark and kingsbane?
i thought they were being used together
OH IT SAYS 2
sorry for the dumb questions
im new to this stuff
how many targets are we doing garrote garrote in aoe? all more than 2?
also if kingsbane is going to get descyned from mark due to a pack dying, just hold until death?
you double garrote your main target and then spread to everything with ct
depends way too much on the dungeon and the situation
i mean how in aoe we press garrote back to back, thats in 2+ targets?
I mean technically in st as well
You just always do it yeah
oh waht
as long as you cast garrote twice in the imp gar window
doesn't matter when you're doing it
thought you space out in ST
You just wanna get 2 casts in the window
yeh
im assuming its a super marginal difference when it comes to optimization?
it's basically irrelevant, yes
!fuu

sin feels so weird in delves vs sub
Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial
#showtooltip Deathmark
/cast Deathmark
/use Light's Potential
```You **cannot** macro puzzle box or kingsbane to deathmark, as they are both on the GCD
im looking at top logs for paladins and almost all do not press double garrote, am i missing something?
at least in opener
U vanish garrote later
it is
is that just normal for openers with vanish or just for 3 targets or something?
normal for raid openers
because people copy paste what liquid does
I mean it really doesn't matter what rogue spec you play on that boss since you're just a spectator and not doing a real job.
Just exist to hit boss and apply atro.
Also back when liquid was progging it, the p1 crystals were a much bigger problem
And sub kinda the only spec that can help with that
And now they fucking explode cause we have an extra 20 ilvl
nah sub clearly value still
im definitely not racing my guildies to pad on midnight crystals
or anything
sometimes i can fit a 4th global on the 2nd set!
90s had much better timers during liquid prog as well
you never get a second use in p3 anymore
why did they removed the 90 second death mark
:( wasnt it 90 second on coin flipper last season
do we think it would have changed anything if they kept that for this season
that was due to tier
wouldn't have changed anything really
Do we have any OLED Gamers here? What monitors do you use? I will treat myself with one next month for my birthday
286 warr bricked my 16 by 30s
bro did 98k overall
dont even understand how that is possible
mustve been using a staff
fury or arms?
98k overall is worse than full st talents
yeh
but whirlwind per 4
I can personally attest to the existence of 290 ilvl players who don’t know wtf they’re doing
Ehy guys i am a new rogue player lv 90, Need help cuz i do reallt low dmg in aoe
I dont have macro/add ons ecc, my item level Is a round 240
that would do it
"I'm naked so I don't deal dmg"
Can't make an omelet without eggs mate
maybe you can't
you don't know what I'm capable of
Asa prio about to go brr next week
if you play deathstalker, roughly 3% bonus damage
its mainly for keys
like if its actually 30% more prio then what we have rn
its gonna be insane
it's 30% more prio than fatebound, not 30% more prio than deathstalker currently
like fucking insane in the membrane
yea
but like
lets say im doing 20m to a boss rn as fatebound with funnel
that means id be doing 26m with deathstalker right?
you could just play deathstalker right now and still get like 24 or 25% more prio than fatebound
thats absurd prio dmg in high keys
ah so the prio is already really high
maybe i should fuck around with it then
that is deathstalker's entire thing, yes
and compare
whats the dmg profile aoe wise compared to fatebound after changes
how much aoe r u losing
I love that the moment fatebound stopped being shit in AoE, everyone was like "yeah I dont wanna juggle marks anymore"
depends on the amount of aoe I guess, it's also just behind in raw ST, like you need the singular focus damage for deathstalker to be worth a damn
in like 8 target aoe it was like 5-6% behind, now probably more like 2-3%
sure
if you can use the extra prio regularly, it's good
if you can't, then it's bad
such is deathstalker
im only resi 19 but i feel like its still not gonna be played maybe nichely in rank 1 keys full group but , most keys the prio dmg is pretty overkill already depending on comp
need to find yourself a group of specs that are just giga aoe no prio
that's pretty much what charrend was struggling with too
cause during alpha/beta, we were talking about deathstalker in keys as well
and this convo showed up basically identically
with the result being "yeah deathstalker does infinite prio but why would I need that"
i mean like everything does infinite prio now so its like, even in my 19s stuff like the bladetalon in skyreach is dying with 6 secs left on mark/kb
let me run the numbers for raw aoe and stuff
I'm actually curious
deathstalker has been weird
i mean its just niche scenario/keys
tbh i just need to test tf outa of it next week in my hw 21s
"Only" ... can you give yourself some credit?
but ngl the prio dmg could end up being 1-2min time saves in keys lmao
we love a good humblebrag in here
I'm resi 12!
idk man i don't think a 6% buff to an unpopular spec is gonna improve key times by 2mins
unironically not trying to brag when i said that, im like 2 key levels away from title io still lmao
i mean tbh no1s playing it
i could go test it now and get a feel
yeh okay, compared to fatebound
ST before -6.5%, after -3.9%
3-6T before -2.2%, after +1.7%
8T before -1.5%, after +2.1%
10T before -0.5%, after +3%
i mean im just saying if i can cut down prio mobs in mc and do 30% more boss dam
forgot how good ds scaled
thats easily a 1-2min time save
okay I can do that rq
I also like that version
me too actually
felt like a good level of skill expression
its got a 20s cd tho
i unironically enjoyed deathstalker season 2 tww a fuck ton but idk FB brain off kinda feels pretty good
you're sniping one babymob each round
I don't think this whole sniping thing is a good way to re-introduce skill into assa, feels like you have plenty of stuff to think about sometimes
i just wish meld worked all the time
something like that
XD
i legit repeat the same meld in keys and sometimes i get re and soemtimes i dont
makes no sense
time ot bring back MFD sniping
also gotta do like DN -> snipe -> DN
i wish the mark reset thing also reset when the target dies
im just gonna pad snipe the little mobs so my dmg looks insane XD
its on GCD also i think right, i havent really fucked with it i only watched nstab mess around on a nexus point?
pretty sure its off the gcd?
it's off gcd
o bet thats good
otherwise it wouldnt really do anything
I really feel like we went full circle here
back in MoP I remember us having Misdirect, which was also cooldown-based CP move
they made CP stick to you cuz people hated it
and now they gave us this
sickos having flashbacks of end of bfa reaping flames gameplay
CP v2 that is target-bound and you have 20s ability to move it
blizz love to reintroduce old talents too
well at least with old CPs you could just target swap and start building CPs
even if it meant losing your old ones
this one is worse
okay idk where I got 30% from xd I am misinfo spamming currently, maybe that was last season or some beta number or something, before is closer to 12-15%, after is 16-19%
this one has nothing to do with combo points tho
my dreams r ruined
sure but you get the idea
same thing
you lock onto one target
you have 20s spell to swap it
what target situation is that for
oh you know what it was, it was before they giga nerfed all the hero talent shit on beta
so on 8-10 its +2% over FB and +16-19% prio?
8-10
yeah
what about for 3, and for 5? those r common scenarios for bosses too
errrrrrrrm
thats not bad, especially cause that doesnt include any mark sniping at all right
Ah damn
so I guess DS just kinda better everywhere with aoe
Cus I was gonna say man

My #s with prio were already insane
Will stat be the same with ds or favoring mast a bit like in tww
I was like 30% is fucking insane
it just gets better with more targets though, seems like roughly around 2-3% more per target added
so
better find a way to get 30 mobs onto a boss
I'm sure it's capped at 8-10 tho

Surely more than that doesn't change anything
why not
Why would it
singular focus ain't capped
singular focus focusing
You don't have energy or combo point generation issues at that point
what
So why would it go up
because that's how that talent works
cause u are doing damage to more mobs
have you looked at the DS talents


this explains why you were excited to play it
is singular focus still bugged with caustic spatter? 

it's not intended to work with caustic
so it's not a bug, it's a feature
correct
interesting
somehow this is worse than it was before 
it's a residual of a residual, which is already kind of sketch to begin with
but it wasn't causing an issue so they just ignored it
well it's a symbolic talent 
except it caused a LOT of issue when our spec aura got to 20%
cause then we got the headache
wait is momentum or follow the blood better or are they just kinda the same
of envenom x1.2, which caustics and does another 1.2x which singular focuses and does another 1.2x
I genuinely have no idea how they don't just have a rule in their engine that is just like "if this damage value is derived from another damage event, don't add in all the modifiers"
these days follow the blood is better generally
they changed momentum to only be crit damage
so it lost a lot of its oompf
oh they nerfed momentum alot, from 32% crit and 15% chance to 20%/10% respectively thats crazy
yeh
clear the witnesses was kinda cool
clear the witness was also kinda jank cause it spattered
so you got like a double clear the witnesses in aoe
was a very strange proc
weekly keys slap
im usually not for removing stuff like that but i kinda like it gone, using fok in any single target scenario feels weird but i dont remember the exact ruleset it had
that was the ruleset for the most part
FoK with CTW during lingering 
I miss shiv buffing nature damage 
ur alone on that one buddy
yeah that was also my raiding peak so i have fond memories
I hated undermine so bad
envenom was just hitting some crazy numbers
that shit blows
It was very fun other than spatter shenanigans on gallywix that u need whispyr venn diagrams to understand that still have me scizo about my positioning on bosses till now
So what would be the proper damage meter look like for an assassin at the end of a key ? Like top 5 damage spells in Order ?
everything was bad except sprocketmonger that was a banger of a boss
intersting
(i know its vexie)
Thanks sir
is that sec tec?
envenom

whys is purple
weird
What do you suppose I’m doing wrong if my caustic splatter is lower on meter
almost got you
running dogshit level keys, not pressing cds
running the bleed build for your weeklies
rotationally? not much
it's a passive that auto-applies with no babysitting and no optimization
you hit cds? caustic yep
yessss
you hit envenom, which you hit basically all the time permanently until either you die or the game dies or the earth is swallowed by the sun? caustic yep
I wish I could kick while channeling puzzlebox..
18 seat I did bad damage , but just swapped to assassin this week cuz got to 18! As sub and feels like 19 was my wall for sub damage 😭 still not smooth yet with my buttons probably my biggest issue , thanks for the advice so much sir
cant wait to send whispyr a photo of me doing my two teamates damage combined to a boss/prio mob next week
guys, thoughts about sudden demise on lura (purely for padding logs) would it be worth it?
you and charrend and everyone else
can't wait
this little delay before sending cds on first lura kicks
.... it only feels good if I dont crit and my opener is slower
I remember a pic from charrend from a pit during beta
and bro did like 55% of the groups boss damage
tragic u have an early kick in the rotation for that
post a new pin
saying deathstalker is -30% worse
so no1 plays it pls
I do like being first kick otherwise cause it takes 0 brainpower 
how do I swat someone's house without comitting a federal crime
4th also has 0 brain power, i just kick when the lady in my ear says 'interrupt'
ok but like i feel like it could crazy log?
bomb those fucking adds
and then not doing any damage during the big damage at the end 
fake
what if i get pi to compensate for the ST loss
🧠
not alot my guild kills it before i can get 1 CT out :(
gonna join a guild and tell them theyre not allowed to kill vaelgor adds
!addons
MY FUNNEL
can someone give me some add ons for ass rogue
okay but imagine if you did
imagining

ArcUI - Common UI Replacement

WilduTools - random QoL like melee range indicator and cursor replacement
okay, without sudden demise, you're able to do ~180k, with sudden demise and your guild ignoring, you're doing ~200k
right
now put that imaginating aside
imagine how many adds are on l'ura
do you think, you can create that gap
with the amount of adds that exist
i think i have what it takes whispyr
arent u believing in me
im going to live up to my name
I gotta be honest ratfart, I do not believe in your abilities here

@balmy condorhow valuable is CT in phase 2 and onwards on alleria? there's plenty of adds to spread bleeds too but i dunno how much benefit we gain from that? no scent, improved poisons or longer garrote as alternatives
u will be begging for my tech when u see me on rank 1
just play caustic only on alleria
how come sudden demise became weak this expansion? is it because CT is not a bleed anymore?
CT buns on alleria
already am
gucci gang
on vael? mama mia, we're just RNG gambling who gets the sudden demise proc 
they nerfed it
people love to think sudden demise sucks because no CT bleed
but then just kinda forget that the number just actually went down from 15% to 10%
I was competing with 4 devourer DH's in the pug I killed dragons in..
you nerf a talent by 33% and it kinda sucks
@balmy condor ur also missing the massive gain from sudden demise on prio target
u need to do more research on this
play deathstalker sudden demise on lura and make the people believe
i might do this
just out of spite
oh sht true tech
what does this mean
We should be on Lura this week, I’m doing it
why would sudden demise factor into prio
proc what
LMAO
damage
bet u didnt factor that into ur math
2 times sudden demise > execute dmg
you can also use the crimson vial talent after u kill 1 of the luras
did u think about that whispyr
100 log dmg and healing inbound
its goated for hps logs
for a phase were u only need to stay alive
ok so i think the tech is, sudden demise, DS, crimmy talent > 100s all across the board
also when u demise the crystals
wait true its actually crazy good
u could be pumping out crazy vials every crystal set
thats what I've always said about crimson vial, its a crazy defensive!
the crimson vial value alone is crazy
its like a 5th healer in p1
now they just need to make it free so it dosnt feel bad pressing it
or off the gcd perhaps might be cool
Unironically tho, implacable is very nice on lura
while ur waiting for it to drop u have time to look around the arena 
whats the talent page for runnin sudden demise anyways
playing lura the scenic way
whispyr is trying to hide the 100s log tech from the public, after our conversation i will get banned

gg lucky count ur days
Classic, tbh idk what it’s like now post nerf
Likely doesn’t matter when pot is sent, egg dps check is lower
is someone here actually progging lura atm
a few people ye, like whispyr me , i think uwucutegirl idk for sure tho

can u test my sudden demise teory for 1 pull
No
i wanna see p1 dmg
not a chance
my guild is 1 crystal carriers locking in away from kill and i might have an stroke if my kill pull is with sudden demise on
You better lock in and get into a guild doing L'ura prog and test it yourself
like my kill, i fucked my cds up as sub and i stopped caring, it was kill....
im so sad
we have killed it
i will next reclear
Play sub like a normal person
Ah, fair fair
If you want p1 damage
I've seen a lot of rogues just playing outlaw on it
i did that too in the beginning
but outlaw wasnt ideal for seed carry
Are you seed carry?
i was devourer that went rogue because our rogue got complications
Aah, fair
That sounds demonic
Yea, sub isn't punished hard for downtime
Just as long as you get your 7 seconds of uptime for dance
yeye, it was only at some situations it was rough
cant blame my pos for my bad kill log, can blame me stopping playing like a human for some reason
first pull of the night was kill, it was very unexpected
Crazy they wouldn't figure out a different way to solve the rogue issue tho
the thing is i was rogue at start of tier, our devourer wanted to go rogue and i wanted to go devourer
ive been all over the place
and now im back on rogue (good)
Why didn't leadership just go "Ideally we want you to wait until end of prog for this change"
But still, when you lost the rogue on L'ura, it would probably have been better to just keep you on devourer for prog and play without a rogue
ye we had that convo aswell, but i was fine with going rogue
Tormenting my mental (bad)
i will find worse techs to @ u with dont worry
should bring back the zeross build
i will say, proccing this song on my kill was very cool
That is just fate
it was a random playlist, god knew
does simc latest have the DS buffs already included?
Good kill time because those starsplinters going out were criminal lmao
i know 😭
we were super safe tho, 2 p4 pulls felt great
Holy swedish raidleading sounds cooked
Someone can Help me with m+ 6? new player here
it is cooked
Yea, didn't have them going through so well
I think we got you beat on P1 wipes
Kom igen gubbar nu pushar vi damage! Alla cooldowns!
oui
I would have done this last night tbh
Our first one was 15% as well, but we had a lot of 15% and even some 80%s because people were criminal on the starsplinters
Not there on Weds
yeah first wipe we literally didnt kill because we werent in melee and melees got greedy
me included
There should also have been a call to be further in though. Chances are you would not have killed had all of you been out of melee
ye, i think it was just first time p4 stress, was fixed after that
Yea, tends to happen first time you reach a mechanic
We mostly just had people mess up Starsplinters and then not having immunities for dog soaking
yeah p4 is the easiest phase on the fight imo (maybe not now after nerfs idk)
but it gets automatically a bit harder because the ''kill nerves'' come, some people play really bad when that happens
Yea
i will say tho lura was a banger boss
It's very well designed tbh. Because it looks stressful
yeah, its a perfect p4/secret phase
Lura was awesome, ye. My only frustrations with it was just that we ended up having multiple roster issues with having to swap some around because people couldn't come etc, and then some straggles having issues with glaives etc
yeah, we had 2 raids without evokers, it was rough 
Which would have been a lot less bad if they would just admit they can make mistakes instead of staying silent, blaming it on glaives being invisible, or macros not working for the memory game
yeah we were really stuck in p1/p2 jail for a long time untill our criminals woke up, was great after that
people dont realize u dont have to stand under boss to hit him as melee 
We had a time with intermission issues because a non seed carry felt he shouldn't be close to the boss to give space for the seed carry behind him
Funny enough. Instead of moving closer to the boss to give space, he ended up just hugging another healer
yeah, some phases we had really easy time, i1 and like p3 was never a big issue for us, our biggest issue was getting there because p1 😭
Yo guys pardon me but i looked and couldn't find, is there any "common" macro list for rogue ?
In general we could have played a lot better. We lost a ton of world ranks if it wasn't for overtiming, which we did because raid leader's wife was due mid prog and a healer had to have surgery
do yall know why the little dog just goes straight thru my tank into our person that has the starsplinter? do they need to taunt them or? they like ran into them but the dog just ignored them lmao
Our prog on thursday that healer was just zoinked out of his mind on pain killers lol
was he jumping
because thats a thing

tbh i do not know but lowkey it kinda looks like he is
yeah thats why im asking
hard to tell
they dont get soaked if u jump, both with the hammer mechanic or just in general
i have no idea if it is the case with some abilities aswell, but i only know jumping is criminal in p4
this the only p4 pull we had and the dog unfortunately hit the starsplinter person so it was like mega cooked
the second dog also moves to the tank there then just 90 degree bee lines for our monk
😭 actually worst case scenario
truly, people were mad heated after that cause they thought the person just didnt move it was like an episode of maury for like 5 minutes after
actually cooked
understandable tho
yeah i suppose i dunno, i just went in with the expectation the team is gonna fuck it up a few times the first go around but ye adrenaline high gets alot of people going
yeah, lura is a big mindset boss since p1 can be criminally rough some nights
yeah, we had a night of consistent p2s/p3s then the next day we had 1 wipe make it out of intermission it was agonizing
We mostly just had the same people die to glaives on P1
hey guys, i'm coming back on assa, i just did mythic chimerus and i was wondering if there is a place where i could put my logs and get some help please :)

oh ok wait
i cannot lie and say i havent died to glaives but i s2g its a boredom thing its hard to stay that locked in all night when nothing is going on at all, at least when the fight was harder u could focus on good defensive usage or something

wtf
Usually we are the ones opening the threads
I can't read logs so just wait for someone to help you out
okay thanks ! i'm gonna look at wowanalyzer in meanwhile
tbh the biggest thing u can do is go down an extra time using cloak
that is worth alot of dps
soak first, cloak 2nd rift, stay up in intermission, go down again after intermission, execute boss
u dont even need to stay up in intermission
u can just cheat death it going down the 3rd time
oh i see, so i just soak all first 3 soaks ? x)
if i'm in first group soaking ofc
well depending on if you are supposed to be up or down in intermission u can do either one
just always soak first 2
We shut it down in assa because we don’t have the people to run infinite log reviews for every schmuck on the street
Probably idk
so what ur saying is assa mains arent passionate enough
All I know is that for a long ass time, we had 80%+ threads get no replies
Across the 3 specs
And I said we ain’t making a thread graveyard in assa
And turned it off
we should open !log threads again so i can spread my sudden demise tech to the public
Yeh
Idk
It’s either send log and if someone’s around that can do it, gg
Or open the !log shit again
And post your log in a pre-made garbage can no one is going to read or respond to either
theres a few other small things here and there like here you should envenom after the kb, or the second one you want the envenom to be right before puzzle to make sure you can get off another envenom before envenom buff falls off, but like honestly most of the stuff is pretty unimportant compared to the going down thing tho
yeah for the envenom before puzzle it's mb wasn't paying attention, but the first one, rupture was about to expire because i messed up, should i have just sent envenom then rupture afterwards or rupture shouldn't be a thing after kingsbane ?
I personally would send the rupture if it actually is gonna be falling off mid kb but i would still treat it kinda as a mistake since you ideally shouldnt have to do that but i am not sure if its even an impactful loss
on the rupture you sent before the garrote was it not a 5cp rupture?
was on the add i believe , i'm bot sure
but i think if the mob isn't going to live for more than 6 sec then i shouldn't have put the rupture, it's mb no ?
it was on boss
then it wasn't 5cp+ i guess if i had to re use it :/
then ye prolly would just send 1 extra mut there before the rupture fixes all that
you better.
ye its like ingrained to not wanna reapply dots during kb for me, but with FB i think its less important than before when we had the shiv nature buff and stuff idk, still a good habit to have but it probably doesnt matter as much now whispyr would know better
you have always been able to just reapply during cds
doesnt really matter
its way more important for them not to drop. main advantage of more envenoms into deathmark kb is the 10% dmg buff, not the envenom uptime, as kb stacks are capped during deathmark even if you're afking for the time
like you dont wanna re-apply a rupture before pandemic just cause ur going into cds
so if u have 18 seconds of rupture going and ur cds come up, you press cds
and then u have to reapply rupture during them at some point, which can also overlap with dropping implac which is nice
maybe i need the log review more than zero tf, but ye def more important to not drop them, i just thought reapplying to not have to refresh during CDS was always slightly better but im cooked ig
it is better, but no real need to refresh before pandemic, unless it's like a sec or two pre pandemic
i see thats what i do already, like if its like 12 seconds or more left on rupture i dont really touch it , but like 8 seconds im down to refresh
I mean you can think like this - its 1 extra envenom during cds (when u have the buff going anyways which is the important part for kingsbane) -> but if u start re-freshing ruptures early that is energy/combo points wasted which actually leads to less envenoms aswell
and by early I ofc mean pre-pandemic 😄
ye i mean that makes sense, im not really freshing like that early, but like if im boutta go into cds and my rupture is at like a 8 or whatever ill refresh before cds cause the extra envenom outweighs it ye
Since I have been a theorycrafter there has never been a situation where we have wanted to purposefully refresh rupture going into a cooldown window
Well, to get more envenoms
That was a thing with exsang obviously
But that’s cause it was exsang
so even like 2 seconds early before pandemic window you wouldnt refresh so you dont have to do it mid DM/KB ?
Correct
that is crazy, how does 2 seconds worth of rupture outweigh a envenom with CD buffs i believe u my brain is just fried by that
We didn’t do it with shiv when it was 30%
We sure as shit ain’t doin it when it’s 10% now
welp im scoops competition for 2nd loa of misinformation ig
We do spam envenoms during the 10% tho
That’s good stuff
But I’ve never gotten a pre-cd rupture refresh to be worth it
well, with that in mind like for example on like lura, if rupture is going to need to be freshed mid crystals spawning so you lose on envenom cast, you wouldnt refresh on like 9 or something even with caustic value making the envenom even more valuable?
That was a big habit of mine when i started to play assa
People have been doing it since the dawn of time and try and I might, over multiple expansions and tiers and 3 reworks to assa
Hasn’t been a thing
No
that is insane
What if we had a 4th rework
Then maybe they would finally not half-ass the 3rd
Grats, you now have haste breakpoints like the other rogue specs
just get 1100 haste 
I hope it’s a haste break point for exsang
i dont understand like, so like even if it doesnt make you add a rupture cast over the course of the fight, how is it more valuable that is cooked

It’s not valuable enough to make a noticeable difference
Like could you invent a situation where it’s more damage on paper, sure
What if rupture is 0.00001 seconds out of pandemic
Haha fucking gotten
Now surely
But like
If it’s not a gain that’s actually measurable, it ain’t a gain
ima just press my little buttons when they light up for pandemic then gg even less to worry about , in my head I guess the value of them was not alligned with reality
The sim does 50 thousand pulls of a boss and goes yeh it’s 0.1% maybe idk I can’t decide
Then a human who is going to fuck it up
Definitely cannot tell, and will make it not 0.1%
just like the glorious 100 dps 0.1% gain to press shiv on fatebound at very specific times 
Pandemic’s purpose to exist is so that we precisely do not have to do this whole dance
Brother what the fuck are you talking about
oh yeah, talking about shiv, shiv doesn't exists anymore since it's not like at tww right ?
It’s an enrage dispel now and that’s about it
bro I might be cooking again but I got 100dps on the sim by pressing shiv on fatebound
- if you have improved ambush
- if you are not in deathmark
- if you are not in execute
- if you are at 4cp with blindside proc ready
it pressed it 3 TIMES
thats 30 dps PER SHIV my man
sad life, thanks
i love how passionate players can be oO
The margin of error on a sim is plus minus 56 you’re a fucking idiot
lets fucking go!!!
now thats what I call big
okay its actually 121 dps and the margin is 55 so it COULD be 11 dps
when you put it like THAT
Add it to the sim NOW
maybe I should tell skoop so we can brainrot a new generation
Secret 10 dps optimization if you obey this 6 step process
im gonna start doing it and hope for some rank 1s so someone will come in here in a few weeks and ask why the fuck im using shiv
Too late, some dipshit from China already doing it except his makes even less sense
if I run a 40 second heavy movement sim will it start throwing poisoned knives
and then u lose to an envenom crit
what the FUCK
one day the poisoned knife optimisation will hit the server
I think he’s legit just slamming it at 4cp
lmao
he is cooking
🔥
chinese op
It was like a rank 6 Vorasius or something
vorasius is a fake boss anyways
tight spender is better for me anyway so I cant do it unfortunately
Oh yeah that’s the big issue here
btw whispyr i presume haste gains a lot more value with deathstalker? do we have any idea of stat goals with the buffs for situations
👍
flaskweave in cds
We’re swapping like 100ish stats optimally
flaskweave mastery in execute
Why doesn't this work?
Somewhere around there
/castsequence reset=10 [@focus] Shadowstep, [@focus] Kick, [@target] Shadowstep```
teleports behind u ahh macro
okay I think that’s my cue that it’s time for bed
one day I will get a 99 on vorasius @frosty cedar ...
lmao bro are you playing the whole circus
currently leveling the next clown
jesus christ
might just not play outlaw tho idk this shit kinda stinks
outlaw is stinky as hell
i played it for the first time since legion today for 2 keys and i wish i had my gold back from crafting that sword
imo remove the spec
thats right, we should have gotten the ranged spec...
spec is fun and all the things it has are fun , the variance should be lowered
double shotgun pirate. ok. i'm all ears. mid range rogue does make more sense than just a random purple dh
oh fotm on the new spec/class is not exactly a novelty in wow haha
I actually dont mind the rtb gameplay as much as that like it has a bunch of CDS in the current iteration, if stuff like ks had talent alternatives that were tuned better it might actually be fun
outside of fotm I think its cool 
it's not bad, for a dh 😄
Just set VPN to Belgium and you're guaranteed Jackpot
yeah we should really kill 2 rogue specs
just for the sake of it

me too
i love making numbers up
you making what up?
anywhere i could get a good tricks macro to target tank & then target prev target?
i uuh, just set my tank as the focus and use the tricks on focus macro
!tricks
thank you
hey question ... what talent build is best for dragons fight ?
the regular raid one or ?
because its aoe is there a more ideal talent build for it ?
m+ probably
Not its about that perma 2 buff sometimes 1 buff rng is about 80-85k dps in keys while jackpot/triple is 110-120k
Seems 25ish% to mr
Also when it happens can be so painful
I dont think ive has a single emberdawn ive rolled more than 2 on in a few weeks
Just the most heal intensive boss of windrunner
Cant do dam
There's specific builds:

Unlucky we aee an extra intermission!
you just send KB on boss
and you don't care about adds
you can check lorrgs too
when people are sending cd's
Right, but my kb comes up during adds
you don't care about adds, you don't even need caustic spatter on this fight
melee should not have to go back to hit adds unless they get fixated
especially this late, although if you are progging vora maybe you just take ct and spatter and go hit adds , who cares about parse
We got out first kill on vora today
Also some people use there vanish when they get targeted
so it goes on someone else
so you can stay boss
I really think that if your guild progs vora at the moment you can spare 10 sec and go help with adds
I really do think but a bit of min max advice cant help 😄
Are there any shroud skips in MC on +18-20?
The bridge is a good place to do some shroud skips
Are there any early skips that you know of?
Not particularly, you do have a head requirement here because of the prisoners
Im sure u could come up with one if u really wanted to do one, but the justification would have to be there
which ig depnds on what u and ur group is looking for
Justification: the enemys are poop to fight
i think it's doable with sap/rop/mind soothe/etc if you wait for the pat, but my friends like to shroud skip the end of the right upstairs area before the cliff. we get the hut with 2 prisoners and pull all the animals around it and then shroud past the group in the middle of the pavilion-ish area with patrols on the edge of the cliff and we jump off on the side where it meets the mountain on the right.
Is it okay to macro Kingsbane with Deathmark? Also what is use case for Poisoned Knife in rotation?
rogue experience - I will get Gaze next week x3
dk expirience first week
you cant and no
No?
And is it cause one is not off GCD or something or is it energy cost?
yes, both on gcd
Gotcha so in regards to Poisoned Knife what do I do with that lol
Just take it off of bars?
you technically can do a cast sequence macro, but I wouldnt recomend it
we dont use on rotation, you can use to tag mobs that are not in melee range
Gotcha gotcha so it is Assassination's Heroic Throw
basically, yeah
why do you have only 1 weapon
Well its worse cause it costs energy
and its 100% less heroic
The only use case for it currenly is like alleria intermission or transmog content 
If u watched the maisara 24 route you would have seen the bear stealth past everything to do a big snap. U can use shroud with a non bear tank to get the same effect
not fury I guess
i thought its a rogue tbh
dk expirience first week
i love watching the Lura Glaives just go trought the DPS DK
and they lose like
40% hp while not moving

yeah thats also a good one if i understand it
ill check it, thank you
17AA, is this off?
that's a lot of garrote and rupture
would expect to see gar/rup like 3ish% lower each and have caustic/envenom take up the slack
generally caustic/garrote are around equal
im probably over pressing tempest
that shouldn't really be possible unless you're just not pressing envenom
we press CT until everything has bleeds
i know the first pull i just didnt press envenom at all

dawg what
what do you mean
wait what
dont you want to tempest spam on packs that die quickly?
you still finish on 5 for envenom obviously
hundreds
like 1-2 teas worth of energy
bro thinking of the energy and not damage
is there ever a point where you skip envenom and only press cp?
no
hey, he did used envenom
lmao yeah
holy moly
so then thats a big no no, got it

yeah, envenom is a big damage skill
yeah it's just about the worst thing you could do
from beta?
also saw pikaboo do it in spire
Idk why but during ptr that was something that was said for like a week
Did it have 17 views and from 5 months ago
But for some reason every week someone mentionsh it
wild
