fok.

3x4 is 12 yes

#

LUL

#

sorry bout that

hardy pewter
#

if you got 4 targets with dots you will have infinite energy, no need for any maths

#

even 2 will give you everything you need

lone junco
#

I dont have the exact verbage of the bonus, but for some reason I didnt think about the tick crits, just the hit crits.

gleaming wolf
#

Ye okay cuz I had a discussion with a guy saying you only get energy from the guy you're targeting

lone junco
#

tick rate is what, 2sec?

gleaming wolf
#

a tick usually is 0,3 sec

#

idk what the tick definition is in WoW tho

quaint umbra
gleaming wolf
lone junco
#

i guess thus is the reason the high crit range feelsgoodman. E flood is nice.

hardy pewter
#

I feel the spec is overflowing with resources often, we get way too much to use

#

at least its not as slow as it used to be

keen inlet
#

tbh I blame mutilate for that

#

either swimming in CPs/risking overcap
or starving

lone junco
#

6cp helps.

#

did some shoulder tb with lower crit. oy. played like mud.

#

opener was strong as fuck though

lapis shale
#

Hi guys I just got boots, how good are them?

lone junco
#

them good

lapis shale
#

Well, I guess that after I got Sephuz isnt a bad legendary :p

versed shore
#

evening everyone

desert vault
#

What number of envenoms should be cast after Vanish, 3?

strange python
#

All of them

lone junco
#

@desert vault

#

that is a sample.

desert vault
#

ok, yeah that is what I'm getting as well, cool

lone junco
hoary copper
#

The crit life

desert vault
#

And the whole clipping envenom at 1s while KB is up is not as big of a deal now as it used to be?

strange python
#

You should aim for 100% envenom uptime

lone junco
#

additional stacks of dp, during kb, is your damage.

#

so do that

#

final tick of KB occurs at the end.

strange python
#

🤯

lone junco
#

🤯

desert vault
#

I guess I'm used to last tier when there seemed to be a ton of time spent pooling as Sin, not as much with this tier it feels like

lone junco
#

we have e return from the tier

versed shore
#

I had a look at the stickeys and online guide but having trouble with stats. For poison build Mastery->crit are the goto's, but is there an upper limit where it becomes better to focus on other stats? Or just get as much as possible?

strange python
#

Sim it

versed shore
#

I have /simc and pawn installed and it still has ilvl above stats as the highest dps changer

lone junco
#

@versed shore good stats would be like 28-33 crit and 170-200 mastery

#

if you are like 905 ilvl then i cant help you.

lapis shale
#

The stats depends on your legendaries and the rest of your gear, the best way to find out your stats is simming yourself

desert vault
#

I need to shed some dang vers, gear is still so Sub heavy with stats.

versed shore
#

thanks Noobe! my 924 ilvl set has around 30% crit and 160% master, but my 930 gear has 22% - 130%...but still outsims it by about 5k dps

lapis shale
#

Start simming when you are 930 ilvl

strange python
#

Raidbots that shit

#

Ez comparing

#

Think around 2k? Is margin

versed shore
#

I haven't played serious since Wrath days where we used IMBA to gear and stat compare to others. Warcraftlogs has helped a lot.

strange python
#

Google raidbots

versed shore
#

on it, cheers

desert vault
#

I need a crit/mast ring or neck tomorrow something serious

#

make my life so much better as Sin, well replacing my 910 relic wouldn't be bad either 😦

strange python
#

I never got minute mirror

versed shore
#

oh cool! Raidbots uses the /simc dump. nice!

shrewd oriole
#

my second ring is pretty dogshit as well

strange python
#

Np

shrewd oriole
#

945, no kingaroth ring has fucking dropped

#

cmonbruh

desert vault
#

Two week, 11 seals on Kingaroth = 0 tiered gloves

shrewd oriole
#

legit 5 kingaroth kills no ring

#

ouch elink

hoary copper
#

I keep getting haste mastery gear. I think the game wants me to be an outlul

shrewd oriole
#

I used around the same on imonar

desert vault
#

Yeah, I went on tilt

shrewd oriole
#

on first and second week of heroic

grim jay
#

Every twink has all 6 pieces by now

shrewd oriole
#

ended up getting it on like my 11th coin

desert vault
#

I just went off on Kingaroth cause I'm so pissed they won't drop

shrewd oriole
#

haste mastery isnt good for outlaw..

#

mastery sucks lol

#

yeah I have decent off piece gloves from coven so dont need tier gloves

hoary copper
#

thought haste was good for them

desert vault
#

I've got 930 t21 legs and 925 garbage gloves. 970 crit/mast pants in bag waiting for stupid t21 gloves

shrewd oriole
#

haste is

#

mastery's dogshit

hoary copper
#

ah

shrewd oriole
#

a mastery haste piece is as bad for assa as it is for outlaw

hoary copper
#

I have a bunch of haste crit and haste verse things too, I just hoard all the gear I dont use in case I need them

shrewd oriole
#

life's a beautiful thing

#

Haste vers is bis iirc

#

havent simmed myself in a while in outlaw gear

hoary copper
#

my bags are ocd persons worse nightmare

shrewd oriole
#

ahaha I hoard everything as well

hoary copper
#

Its worse on druid with 4 possible specs

lone junco
#

@versed shore when you do simming, make sure to have "relative difference" turned on. and dont deviate from the projected meta for less than like 1%.

#

i have a few sim builds that are relatively equal. and I pick the best one for that fight or condition.

strange python
#

@keen inlet I summon you, great Captain of the memelaw, god of swords, master of Mythic+, professional outLUL.

#

Just for a chat about life

lone junco

#

Looking pretty good

Please tell me you remember me

#

.. well this is awkward

dire spoke
#

who is this Lad 🤷

lone junco
#

I was gone for 4 days and people were like. "who is this new guy, and why is his name red"

keen inlet
#

I do

dire spoke

#

😊

keen inlet
#

Sorry I'm at work, I was working 14+ hour days on a trip all last week

#

so today's a bit of a shitshow at the office

gaunt moat
#

maybe easier to recognize if you'd have a red name 🤔

strange python
#

Oh shit

#

True, can you?

keen inlet
#

but yes I do rememeber

#

remememememememememebererer

strange python
#

Hey 😉

gaunt moat

i think jose is just saying that to make you feel better

strange python

Oh

dire spoke

v i s u a l

strange python
#

Good luck today Jose

keen inlet
#

thx

#

also who is

#

exang

#

in this day and age

#

aside from Noobe

dire spoke
#

exang can be really good

#

when you play poison

strange python
#

Oh ye you played exang right?

#

And we were all laughing at you

#

And now people do it

open arrow
#

Should I fok at 4 cb pts instead of multilate

strange python
#

I was a good rogue btw, I teamed up in a sport with someone and in the end I backstabbed him to win

spice surge
#

Nah not really. The difference is very minor, but its not worth the effort (as in, not foking is better) @open arrow

strange python
#

Actually got 1st place

#

So worth

dire spoke
#

#classfantasy

#

^^

open arrow
#

Only reason I ask is fok is 35 energy and wouldn’t over cap energy

#

Instead of a 55 energy and potential 2 pt overcap

dire spoke
#

why not evis on 4

open arrow
#

Thought someone said it wasent worth it to envenom

dire spoke
#

Well call this mate a spoon then 👌

open arrow
#

what?

strange python
#

Aim for 100% uptime btw

Didn't Tumna leave this discord?

Cant get into a guild cause he didnt TB on CD

Funny days when he got declined

atleast for us it was

fervent beacon
#

There need to be an exsang for noobe

grim jay
#

well people always remember me @strange python

#

:°)

#

but hey matey

#

I remember you

strange python
#

Nightstalker vs subterfuge in M+ ?

grim jay
#

whatever floats your boat

plain thistle
#

NS

#

you dont usually garrote in large packs

#

its better to use NS with shoulder+bracer for AoE packs, and for that setup, garrote is a dps loss

strange python
#

Aren't I supposed to use FoK cloak for dungeons?

grave escarp
#

not for sin

strange python
#

Welp TIL

#

Not even for lower keys where stuff dies super fast? Like 15 and below

edgy anvil
#

if stuff dies super fast might as well go sub cause ass is shit at that

strange python
#

JHONWEI

plain thistle
#

hi

strange python
#

Hmm I guess

#

❤️

#

I missed you

#

So I should use bracers and shoulders for M+ in higher keys then same as in raids?

grave escarp
#

feel like fan doesnt do as much as a stealth ss

plain thistle
#

lol

spice surge
#

Cloak is pretty useful for the first pull of the dungeon, especially if you vanish+swap gearsets midpull

#

and/or after a lengthy run/rp

strange python
#

But otherwise bracers&mantle is bis for M+ ?

autumn sierra
#

vigor or deeper as talent?

edgy anvil
#

vigor

autumn sierra
#

why?

edgy anvil
#

sims best, that's about it

fervent beacon
#

If you're running legendary helm, DS ideally should pull ahead

lone junco
#

@keen inlet me and Master McPoisonLoad pretty sure thats it.

#

i have seen zero logs from anyone else.

undone lodge
#

just got shoulder & Vest T21, currently am using mantle & Bracers, should is use the T21 pcs or stick with current equipped gear?

#

is - i...typo

lone junco
#

4p is very very strong. But I dont know what your current equipped gear is. so run the gear compare. or 2 quick sims of the setups.

undone lodge
#

so after i changed to 2 pcs T21 i should be using boots & Bracers leggos

desert vault
#

Is raidbots feeling ok? I'm simming at 887k ...

#

Interesting

strange python
#

don't use quick sim

hoary copper
#

Did you sim it Alian? probably more accurate than feelycraft here

desert vault
#

using advanced with /simc output

#

trying to stat weights now

strange python
#

get the simc addon... oh

hoary copper
#

What did you sim for before?

strange python
#

my sims seem to be almost exactly what i normally do

desert vault
#

1.9m+

#

The stats weights seem ok

hoary copper
#

that's...a big change. Are you naked?

fervent kettle
#

if rupture is about to expire and you have 4 cp do you muti for 5 or rupture with 4 ?

strange python
#

maybe you logged out with the fishing pole on

desert vault
#

I'll roll with that, I dunno what's going on. Might have some settings wrong in raidbots

lone junco
#

never mut on 4.

strange python
#

you rupture with 4

lone junco
#

so you can Refresh garrote, or tb or kb or just finish

strange python
#

well. I do

cerulean depot
fervent kettle
#

ok

spice surge
#

Rupture doesnt do less damage with 4 cp than 5

#

Its just duration

desert vault
#

11 coins on Kingaroth, nothing. One LFR run, f'ing 915 gloves 😦

#

I hate my life.

lone junco
#

grats on gloves

desert vault
#

heh

hoary copper
#

mine sims the same so idk what you're doin

strange python
#

hey man. I have never seen a Fang trinket drop. ever.

desert vault
#

Yeah just 30 ilvls lower

lone junco
#

@strange python i have 3x. will trade one for a >930 eoc

undone lodge
lone junco
#

2p2p isnt that great.

#

just keep at it.

cerulean depot
#

Wts my alt's 965 eoc

desert vault
#

So 200% mast pretty good. Just need to try and bump crit from 27% at this point? Need to get rid of vers/mast neck and ring hopefully.

undone lodge
#

i got 4 T20 and 2 T20

strange python
#

@lone junco deal. Except, I don't have an eoc either

lone junco
#

then 4p2p bracer boot would be fine.

undone lodge
#

@strange python you mean Shadow- Singed Fangs trinkets?

lone junco
#

with subterfuge

undone lodge
#

@lone junco will it change the current opener?

strange python
#

yes

undone lodge
#

@strange python i just got one from LFR

lone junco
#

@undone lodge just put on the gear and run the talent sim. 4p2p bracer boot . 1233211

strange python
#

awesome

undone lodge
#

@lone junco okay, thanks !!!

#

is it good connor?

strange python
#

yes

#

Maybe not an lfr version... but yes

#

!trinkets

undone lodge
#

ah okay...coz it's still behind CoF and Arcano

drowsy kettle
#

Should I ever vanish then kingsbane?

#

For the 50% dmg at the start

undone lodge
strange python
#

no you shouldn't

hoary copper
#

We sim almost the same Alian, ilvl 940ish?

undone lodge
#

@hoary copper nope, 932

hoary copper
#

Sad day I sim that low then

#

leggos and tier I spose

drowsy kettle
#

I use soul and quest ring in my rogue

strange python
#

yikes

drowsy kettle
#

Only bout 1.1m

latent grove
#

What crit would make my energy regen feel a little better if I'm running just 4p t21, shoulders and helm?

urban storm
#

Any crit would give more energy

undone lodge
#

@hoary copper may i see your armory?

urban storm
#

Sin will have to pool energy regardless

strange python
#

The APL doesn't pool for much of anything, actually.

keen hound
#

bracers+boots vs. bracers+shoulders?

strange python
#

you should be getting roughly 180-200 energy a min from the 4 piece

#

@keen hound the only answer it to sim it my dude. they are close

pure sparrow
#

The things i would do for a H+ shadow fang

strange python
#

same.

pure sparrow
#

I'd probably blow metzen ngl

strange python
#

im still using a 935 mastery stick.

plain thistle
#

lol

pure sparrow
#

I've got the worst accessories in the world. like basic 910 argunite shit

latent grove
#

Can you check logs to see how much energy you regened from t21?

strange python
#

yes

#

resources > energy

latent grove
#

Oh cool thanks

strange python
#

the default is hit points. need to change it.

hoary copper
#

@undone lodge can't link it at work (blocks anything gaming) and phone died. I have low mastery too. I just havent had luck for drops

strange python
#

also a good tool to see if you are wasting any energy.

keen hound
#

does sim have a hard time w/ bracers?

strange python
#

"hard time"?

keen hound
#

calculating the value of them

strange python
#

I don't think so

keen hound
#

b/c i sim and it says shoulders / boots lol

undone lodge
#

@hoary copper go for mastery then, i got about 192% mastery once i had 221%

hoary copper
#

Well its not like Im not disregarding mastery, or not "going for" it. Just hasnt dropped

undone lodge
#

you should go with crafted gear artho

hoary copper
#

Not worth to drop the ilvl for crafted gear, the agi makes up for that

undone lodge
#

there were tons of mastery dropped i guess

strange python
#

only one crafted piece worth using 🤔

undone lodge
#

ah okay

hoary copper
#

Not to mention the cost

undone lodge
#

head crafetd gear

#

that is odd

strange python
#

All sims have some % error

#

no two sims, even with the same gear, will be the exact same

#

I suggest doing more iterations.

hoary copper
#

.2 and .3% are statistically the same

plain thistle
#

0.2% is already outside margin of error

#

well, you can set the margin ofc

strange python
#

my margin of error is 100% 🙃

undone lodge
#

LOL

plain thistle
#

🤔

undone lodge
strange python
#

looks alright. 7 minutes is odd though.

cerulean aspen
#

just use the default setting

strange python
#

what patchwerk fight lasts 7 minutes for you?

cerulean aspen
#

5 minutes

undone lodge
#

im so stupid so i have to set it longer LOL

#

is it too much?

strange python
#

Well if your fights are seven minutes long then no... but people usually sim at 5 min

cerulean aspen
#

it's not too much, but if you want to compare to other people's sims, it won't be the same frame of reference

undone lodge
#

ah ok ok

pure sparrow
#

I'm trash at Vari. What should i show you on my Warcraft Logs for you all to rip me up sufficiently and explain why im trash at Vari

strange python
#

just link the logs I can take a look.

#

i dont bite. some others in here might though.

strange python
#

looks fine to me. You didn't waste any combo points or energy. Your debuff timers are great, envenom uptime is fine. Looks like you did 1.2m with horrendous legendaries and sub-par gear at 938, I think you are fine

pure sparrow
#

Its my worst Ilvl parce by far, which is why i assumed I must be trash at it

#

i guess ilvl parce % isn't everything

#

thank you btw ❤

strange python
#

well, you have less than 10k mastery

#

etc etc

#

once you get better legendaries and gear things will pick up

mental aurora
#

Yeah imo if you do the mechanics and deal decent damage, parce % shouldn’t really matter. I don’t care how good I am compared to mythic raiders, I get the job done in my guild runs and that’s good enough for me.

undone lodge
#

and my mastery just went down by 10% :sad:

pure sparrow
#

Hopefully i can pick up mantle soon

strange python
#

when I was at ilvl 938 I already had my bis legendaries

pure sparrow
#

i wish

#

lol

#

fucking belt / cloak were my last two drops

strange python
#

ouch

cerulean aspen
#

you want to vanish -> rupture without mantle, not env i believe

undone lodge
#

i got them since 920

mental aurora
#

I got mantle yesterday from a blingtron box. I knew grinding out engineering was worth it

strange python
#

yeah I would vanish rupture

#

sorry I did not look at that specifically

#

with such low mastery and no shoulders, vanish envenom doesn't do much

hoary copper
#

I got KBW -> Bracers -> Talent ring in that order.

#

Rng game is so fun

pure sparrow
#

Good to know, the ravenholdt guide only had no mantle no beavers Subterfuge rotation, and I run NS, so I’ve been confused

mental aurora
#

Bracers are pretty good. Talent ring isn’t terrible if you don’t have any other option

hoary copper
#

yea, I was surprised KBW sims higher, maybe if I could get a decent EOC to drop or a decent trinket it wouldnt

spare nebula
#

So are overall and ilvl parse % for assa still showing tons of FoK?

strange python
#

yes

#

the logs from the first fok bug from early late december/early jan are still there

spare nebula
#

thats what i figured

#

i know im not perfect and dont have 75 points in my weapon, but I didn't think I was doing grey/green parse-worth damage ha

lean hill
#

Any of you long time sinners know why mantle/boots keeps simming higher than mantle/wrists?

hoary copper
#

a balance druid in my guild tried to tell me I was crap and I pointed out his highest parse was a 25% from logs and he said thats because he just didnt care but he was better than me cause he did pet battles. People are fun

strange python
#

there were some apl changes

lean hill
#

It's about the same gap as before and after

#

APL change didn't cause the swing

Fok parses doesnt matter much now though

You should be doing more

#

and there is very few dpgate mythic logs

undone lodge
#

well gotta go...thanks @strange python , Thanks @lone junco

strange python
#

anytime

spare nebula
#

@spice surge talking mostly about heroic logs. Mythic logs are looking ok for the most part.

#

It could also be that I was running heroic with mostly guild alts but I'm like 966 ilvl so a lot of the higher parses are with full 965+ groups

#

so kill times were like ... half

#

ha

#

hi guys what's the best race for an assassination rogue Ally sided? (don't bully pls 😄 )

summer glen
#

human

tepid ridge
#

(raid oriented)

#

for the passive? 😮

summer glen
#

ye

#

you can go gnome but i guess human is still best

tepid ridge
#

ok and what about dwarf?

urban storm
#

Human gives 2% bonus on all secondary stats, which will be great until the stat squish

tepid ridge
#

he's human and I'm doing mythic raid so I guess he'll stay like this

#

thanks for the answer guys 😃

plain thistle
#

isnt dwarf better?

#

because of the crit damage?

pure sparrow
#

Anyone but Nelf

plain thistle
#

last time I checked it was dwarf

lone junco
#

@undone lodge that sim you posted was 3p2p due to crafted hat.

urban storm
#

What does dwarf get?

plain thistle
#

crit damage

so dwarf or human? xD

#

Question on kingorath, is it best to save vend for add phases when they take increased damage or use in on cd?

strange python
#

you can use boots and save vend for first add then do boss->add->boss->add

#

with bracers just save it for every single one

lone junco
#

if you use shoulder bracer, just use your vanish on the adds. and get 2xbombs in each shoulder 👌

#

oh. and nail a fat TB/KB alignment

vapid moth
#

When the boss dies 10 seconds before your vanish vendetta envenom comes up

viral jackal
#

I wish I had boots for that fight. I considered dropping my 960 fang and putting on my 900 CoF which makes me vendetta CD 1 minute or so, that way I can do the boss->add->boss->add. I just wonder if lining up vendetta's would be worth the procs from fang.

lone junco
#

pretty sure ive seen some strong logs that just delay vanish vendetta for the add. and no vendetta between. Ill check again.

#

@viral jackal it works fine. non boot

#

tb and kb throughout the fight, and save for add just prior.

magic mural
#

Would it be reasonable to play shoulder + bracers, and equip CoF (925), assuming I only have 1 MA relic? Because I really love bracers, vanish, just lines up too well with adds, but that vendetta timing ist awkward :/ would unequip 960 ssf then

viral jackal
#

Interesting. That's what I've been doing thus far so I'm glad to see I was making a good call.

lone junco
#

dat add damage

quick talon
viral jackal
#

That's what I was wondering too, Nils. I have a CoF as well and it'd line up perfectly, but I haven't tested it or dug through logs to see if its optimal

lone junco
#

I use 3ma and boot. and it aligns "perfectly"

turbid harbor
#

i remember the good old days

#

of perfect alignment with boots and 3ma

lone junco
#

looks like this

balmy condor
#

Sinister circulation made it rip :( and then boot nerfs

turbid harbor
#

exsang 🤢

lone junco
#

2min shoulder alignment for the adds is probably better than more vendettas

balmy condor
#

Oh wat, exsang

#

Ew

lone junco
#

could do it with bracer boot mptb.

#

38M damage rupture is nice.

quick talon
#

I like mantle/boots most on Kin garoth M

#

mptb that is

lone junco
#

16 sec of pwn.

#

wheeeeee.

quick talon
#

tbh on heroic I dont even think exsang would be worth it

#

atleast when i run it with my guild

I did have a 27M single rupture on Garothi.

#

it fluxes based on Conc. and bota. but still a nice rip.

#

if something dies in less than 16 sec, I guess yeah. dont put a sin rogue on it.

#

I've got a question about MM+, is it worth going Mantle/bracers or boots and drop 4T21 to go 2T20/2T21 ?

lone junco
#

almost all M+ is going to be Shoulder /bracer. some notable diff are non bracer fights like Odyn and Helya.

#

Odyn is belt. and helya boot.

obtuse cedar
#

And what about tier pieces ?

lone junco
#

unless you are getting gibbed then Shoulder Prydaz.

I know taht's mostly based on item level

4p21 is very good. so do that. - shoulder

Ok, thank you for your advices

#

Noobe how fast does your vendetta come back? A minute?

wise frigate
#

Think he said he averages like 40-50 seconds?

lean hill
#

Vendetta keeps coming up 20-30 seconds before vanish at the moment, annoying as hell but better than grinding for relics

lone junco
#

vendetta and exang are on the same timer.

#

so 45 sec is about right.

#

I normally fire off the vendetta a few ticks before to get the mut mut vanish rupture exang

strange python
#

these hearthstone nerfs though monkaS

lone junco
#

@lean hill vendetta 25 sec before vanish is prob a symptom of the 2MA and shoulders. your vendetta ends before vanish, you delay vanish for a whole 1:15 ish. and push one off the end of the fight.

#

I have a question, looking at some logs trying to work out the best opener for Assasin at the moment. I can see quite a few players doing Vendetta and Kingsbane on pull - and not garrotte. What is the current top opener for raids etc

lone junco
#

do that. or the one from the guide

strange python
#

That's because the old apl did it

#

Vendetta kb

lone junco
#

nothing matters anyway. just get more pb.

strange python
#

I think the sim thought it did more damage than in actuality.

lone junco
#

yeah ns was buffing too much of the KB.

strange python
#

The sim opens with vendetta because its off cd just before the 5 min marker

#

So it is more sim dps

warm parcel
#

no

#

its cause the energy is less beneficial than 3 more sec of ven

strange python
#

I could have sworn someone said something like that

warm parcel
#

that whoever was incorrect

lone junco
#

and both are probably very similar averages.

spice surge
#

The sim duration varies by 20% on default

5 minute sim is 200 to 400 seconds

What?

lone junco
#

they arent fixed length fight averages

#

good

warm parcel
#

The lenght doesnt really matter how you might think it does

strange python
#

That's a big gap.

lone junco
#

3 sec of vendet over e cap is what 0.1-0.2% diff?

warm parcel
#

Big enough to be meaningful

lone junco
#

0

#

i guess

warm parcel
#

And clearly over margin

#

That said people dont like doing it

#

And its fine

lone junco
#

I like my exang rotation enough to forsake 30k damage from the Shoulder Bracer. so i guess people do crazy things

#

bleed is high under current relics, but if i drop 2 vendetta I can gain 30k.

#

not going to happen

Ill buy that 1%

@lone junco I only have 1 MA relic at the moment. So use vendetta and then sit on vanish for the next?

lone junco
#

woah bro. we out of context here.

#

what fight and spec

lean hill
#

Me?

lone junco
#

yeah.

#

we still talking kingo?

lean hill
#

No in general

lone junco
#

in general : use vendetta tb and Kb on cd. hold vanish for vendetta. and if you can hold tb for a few seconds prior to that vanish, then 👌

#

but delay of vanish vendetta is bad.

lean hill
#

But delay of vanish not so bad?

lone junco
#

in a patchwork sim that is the case. I will adjust around fight mechanics. obv dont vendetta going into a phase change or something.

lean hill
#

Yea I'm looking at it in a vacuum

lone junco
#

vendetta is pretty long, so if your vendetta is ready but vanish isnt. fire away. if vanish comes up during vendetta then 👌

lean hill
#

Wait I confused myself

#

Vanish is up.... and vendetta has like 20-30 left

#

Just hold it then?

lone junco
#

hold vanish. unless fight is about 19 sec ttd

lean hill
#

Lol yea of course

lone junco
#

with shoulders specifcially vanish vendetta is your juice.

lean hill
#

I've had a lot lately where vendetta comes up at like 3% so I just pump out finishers lol

lone junco
#

sure.

#

you can always check your apl scripting. and if that doesnt match what you think should happen, ask.

the nibble ring? Noobe swears by it

it lines up nicely with Shoulder bracer.

(doesnt buff bleeds)

strange python

nibble ring eh?

spice surge
#

🤷 Its better than any other ring with the same ilvl

#

But its not gamebreaking

lone junco
#

lots of multipliers going on.

#

and btw. the apl is dumb and fires it off blind

#

so dont do that.

#

So the sim is bad for it at 3:00

#

i have it up here actually

#

use at shoulders not just fucking willy nilly.

dire spoke
#

APL not broken in 2018 LUL

I was thinking gnawed thumb ring stacked with vendetta + shoulders would be amazing thanks for the insight guys!

#

Time to start farming while this weeks m+ is ez pz

lone junco
#

not sure how to sim the bonus. but if you had a 30 sec fight. you could compare the outputs.

hazy skiff
#

I’m assuming gnawed thumb ring is amazing on mythic kin with all the stacking multipliers

lone junco
#

my real q. would be buff the KB hit and vanish env string. OR. buff the end of KB and vanish env string.

#

its a good ring either way

hazy skiff
#

WOW must be nice

lone junco
#

nice of them to make it 12s.

civic palm

Why not... 14? :3

lone junco

16 + phys would be fine by me.

lone junco

so anyway. at 12s you get the TB KB and Env. or you Kb . . . . . . . .Ring Tb Vanish Env mut env mut env.

and catch the tail.

I personally like sub more than ass because of consistency

Unless you get super rng on poison bombs

nah

it's the burst required

forsome packs

probably right here.

but when you need to burn stuff it's just does it proc or not ?

lone junco

sub burst is what 30sec?

#

apart

#

for the dfa

zealous dew
#

symbols

#
  • dance
#

depends on how many mobs you pull

lone junco
#

There is a symbol cdr now. so im not sure on the timing.

lost horizon
#

~25s ST

lone junco
#

that is nice.

lost horizon
#

20s for DFA

zealous dew
#

you have to play 2p 2p

#

sub

lone junco
#

if my avg exang rupture were 20M. it would still be 45 sec apart.

lost horizon
#

On AoE you can get your combo down to DFA CD

lone junco
#

and no bomb cleave from the shoudler

#

vendetta is just dumb for cleave.

#

self buffs >>

#

is there a mosh 2p2p non dfa yet?

devout hollow

2p2p

#

😒

lost horizon
#

Yeah the fact that all of sin CDs are ST debuffs is pretty gross

lone junco
#

ish

lost horizon
#

I guess aside from shoulders

zealous dew
#

sin is very good on 2-3t cleave

#

but if no pussy tank sub rocks

lost horizon
#

I wish you could get some kind of cooldown refund if target dies with one of your big CDs on it

zealous dew
#

take for example EoA 2nd boss, you keep blobs up for sub does insane boss dmg, for sin it's just free energy to spam more envenom

#

or dragon dht

lost horizon

Ex: target dies with half vendetta duration remaining, take off like a quarter of the cooldown

just give us the aoe exsanguinate

Tab rupture 5x and rip.

i would play nothing else than rogue

it would be so fucking cash

What about just getting a guaranteed poison bomb on first finisher out of stealth?

zealous dew
#

too op with mantle

#

since you fok envenom as opener you have 3s crit

#

then fok vanish env another 3s crit

Yeah that'd be a pretty disgusting amount of burst on every pull

I do well for my ilvl. dont see much attempt at it at the high end.

(fuck that. fixed roster is dead to me)

onyx falcon

Welp I can't say too much, so busy with work I don't raid, my guilds 9/11 M though

lone junco

is why im stuck at 1.93M instead of 2.2m

but im ok with a squashed output. just makes M+ harder at times.

Well I mean only good tier piece you're missing is head

And Aggy doesn't rly drop anything good, the ring is decent

That was during the bug with PK?

yea haha, I had been testing the interaction on a dummy before that since I sat for AHC and Dogs

I came in ready and even ran fire orbs

lone junco
#

that is in some weird gear and spec. so just check it yourself.

it also shows up in talent compare mousover.

when the sim has multiple profiles you can see the quartile bars. the mouseover has the min/avg/max

That's using SimulationCraft though, right?

you played exsang instead of AP in nighthold.

that was the first

lone junco

I had one week of outlaw in ToS.

regal cape
#

I was still on the fence at the time about full swapping

lone junco
#

was like lolnope

regal cape
#

I really liked the exsang playstyle being active and had hopes itd get buffs, but the scaling of AP was too damn good and the tier worked so well with it that I gave up

lone junco
#

the crit synergy with 2p and 4p 21 are nice. I like the higher crit metas.

#

i'm looking forward to the bleed scale in bfa

off mastery

meh.

I would rather have hemo haste bleeds.

#

had a try on aggra where I was dpsing 300k above sim, ofc we wiped :<

regal cape
#

they could just make Haste vers crit bleed and mastery crit vers poison

lone junco
#

w/e I hate to speculate. makes me sad when they fail miserably

#

like any hope for outlaw.

#

ugh

#

LD was a gift.

#

they boned it.

regal cape
#

Not that I think its overall healthy to create that kind of divide in a spec without being extremely careful

lone junco
#

I like it.

#

3 specs. 7builds.

#

something better be good

regal cape
#

LUL true

#

except this tier Kappa

lone junco
#

I am happy with these mut buffs

keen hound
#

I was just takling to a friend about lust the other day

lone junco
#

only person to beat me in ST is the enhance.

keen hound
#

and how sad it makes me because it does so little lol

lone junco
#

I like to lust at the open, cause it gives me a longer bracer.

keen hound
#

I would love to see a "highest secondary stat" bloodlust

regal cape
#

Same but still feels semi bad when a Pally or Frost DK can use every stat and smash your dps or ENH shammy

lone junco
#

makes the warrior cry, but i justify it with raid dps logs.

keen hound
#

so it doesn't just do haste but buffs w/e your highest secondary stat is

regal cape
#

I mean

lone junco
#

conc would be better.

regal cape
#

at one point they were going to add that

#

to Pallys

lone junco
#

I did not realize that conc was 11k agi or w/e

#

Not sure what the higher lvls are. but thats pretty great

regal cape
#

It was in some early alpha build of I think legion maybe WoD where Pallys were going to get some ability akin to Lust that gave secondaries

lone junco
#

wasnt that the one they had in wod

#

or did that just give 1k vers.

#

personal. took like 5hp

regal cape
#

Youre thinking of Seraphim

lone junco
#

yeah

regal cape
#

that was 1k all stats

#

nah Im trying to find it

#

it was trying to give them a raid cd back when like every class had one

#

Ayy looking for a confirmation, does SoT buff envenom?

#

I thought it did, but realized this may have changed back when AP was removed

balmy condor
#

Yes, it does

#

I think at least

regal cape
#

Was pretty sure

lone junco
#

tbh, i thought it was just this list.

gilded lark
#

it does not

balmy condor
#

Rip

gilded lark
#

the only reason it buffed it during AP was because it buffed AP

balmy condor
#

Oh

gilded lark
#

@balmy condor bad info

balmy condor
#

Yeah

gilded lark
balmy condor
#

It’s coming back to me now

#

The PTSD

#

:reeeeeee:

lone junco
#

:badinfo:

#

if that were a reaction. I would get nailed about 20% of the time, everytime.

balmy condor
#

Same

#

Broadsides would be sure to call me out

gilded lark
#

WELL
