fast nacelle
#

especially during tyrannical

distant nest
#

a lot of ST

safe matrix
#

Yeah, basically the more single target there is the better sin gets

distant nest
#

why is sub better in aoe?

safe matrix
#

sexy on demand burst

spare cloud
#

because sub has reliable burst

safe matrix
#

from cloak/glaives

#

and ST from sub isnt terrible over the shorter m+ fights

fast nacelle
#

dungeons with bigpulls favor sub cause you have the burst dmg every group

distant nest
#

i see i see

fast nacelle
#

dungeons like upper kara or even hov favor assa

#

basically everything where you dont have big pulls n shit

distant nest
#

i see, thnx for the tips

fast nacelle
#

you can play big pull in hov too (begining) but even then if you run it with 2 ranges assa is better for crippling poison

#

and most groups are 2-3 targets or basically kite on higher keys where slow values a lot

distant nest
#

but +15 and higher, sub is most viable?

#

in most dungeons

spare cloud
#

Generally yes, there are exeptions

fast nacelle
#

the lower the key the better is sub - or the bigger the pulls

#

its also more fun than assa if you want reliable aoe dmg

distant nest
#

the poison bombs feel so good tho

spare cloud
#

Pounding mobs for 20 Mio dfa feels pretty good as well though

#

whilst also doing aoe

distant nest
#

i should try it out

#

just need to get some good bracers

safe matrix
#

with afully stacked cloak I can hit everything for 7m

#

then 3 m withdfa

thorny stump
#

guide doesnt mention t20 in gear section, so dont wear it?

distant nest
#

cloak?

safe matrix
#

cloak legendary

spare cloud
distant nest
#

ohh

safe matrix
#

basically cloak/glaives are what give sub its viable burst

spare cloud
#

Also contract

#

for consistency

strange python
#

how is bleed in m+?

spare cloud
#

Bleed suffers on aoe

#

so worse than poison

distant nest
#

liavre , glaives drops from ToS?

safe matrix
#

yeah

#

so

dire spoke
#

tampon flurry

safe matrix
#

?

distant nest
#

no just wondering

spare cloud
#

What about crimson tempest

#

🤔

safe matrix
#

yeah sisters

dire spoke
#

imagine rogue being good class

#

whew

strange python
#

getting benched for a DH

#

feels good man

spare cloud
#

wait what

#

thats not on the class 😳

strange python
#

im meme'ing srry nah im not in on agg because we need a 2nd dk

spare cloud
#

unlucky

strange python
#

it happens, part of having a 25 man roster

dire spoke
#

why would you want DKs for aggra

strange python
#

2x gorefiends

plain thistle
#

we do that fight with 1 blood, but we use 2 dps DK to help him with single grips

civic palm
#

Szechuan Sauce sucks.

dire spoke
#

mize 👋

strange python
#

its really nice with 2 blood dk because we dont have enough push backs

civic palm
#

👋

dire spoke
#

we're on aggra tomorrow wot just asking

civic palm
#

That sauce has like, no fucking heat, least the flavor is fine.

dire spoke
#

but we have 2blood 1frost

strange python
#

youll be fine then, as long as you have a lock with ring

#

lock with ring, 2dk and 2 druids have made the adds more than manageable

spare cloud
#

Lock with ring is fine as long as he doesn't kill the adds

fast nacelle
#

thats harder than it sounds

#

when the lock has 982 ilvl

spare cloud
#

and the adds die with only corruption on them

#

🤔

strange python
#

our lock is like 967 so should be ez

plain thistle
#

adds will die, if you control with a lock

#

you cant avoid that, they just cant die when you actually need to grip them

dire spoke
#

the adds?

#

why should the small adds die

#

you don't mean embers or?

#

@spare cloud

spare cloud
#

Warlock with ring puts corruption on them to slow them

#

corruption does dmg

dire spoke
#

don't know if we want that slow

#

we will see

civic palm
#

He can just take his weapon off.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

_>

spare cloud
#

Yeah.

#

@dire spoke prepare for such events

sand whale
#

I'd say the lock slow is the most reliable, as long as you have your key players e.g. DK + some multidotters that benefit able to see the embers energies

#

they can die no problems there, just as @plain thistle said you don't want them do die when they need to be gripped

dire spoke
#

but we have 2 bloods

#

don't think we want a slow

#

or that much slow

sand whale
#

it's slightly easier with another DK that kinda acts as the middle person sometimes but yeah don't need a lock for sure, just for my raid comp it was a lot easier to do it that way

#

I've seen it with mages or rotating roots etc etc depends on your group

spare cloud
#

pretty much anything can work

sand whale
#

if anything probably just DK requirement lol

spare cloud
#

Crippling poison 🤔

dire spoke
#

I tried LUL

spare cloud
#

Just crippling poison and no deadly

#

to not do more dmg than necessary

drifting cosmos
#

hey guys

#

if i have 5 cp before fight

#

i just use evn from stealth right?

spare cloud
#

Rupture

drifting cosmos
#

oh

#

wait why is that

#

i thought evn would do more dmg, taking NS btw

plain thistle
#

with shoulder envenom

#

ohhh

#

I think in that case its better to rupture

spare cloud
#

You rupture

#

well it honestly depends, if the mobs die instantly

#

then you can evenom

drifting cosmos
#

i mean m+ boss

#

like a lot of times i can get 3-5 cp before boss fights

#

and i think opening with 3 cp is again different from 4 or 5

#

🤔

#

and yea, i am using shoulder/wrist + poison build

strange python
#

is 4set a must for assas?

supple hearth
#

no

#

you'll just not have the set bonys

#

bonus*

#

and probably do less damage

sand whale
#

evenom probably wins out if your trinkets + concordance proc but I've always ruptured anyway in those scenarios

strange python
#

i gfot trinket of vari cos it dropped out of cache and i got singed fang 930 still havent got pantheon so i shud use 4set bonus right ?

sand whale
#

? what does trinkets have to do with 4 set

knotty flame
#

oh we dont have a bfa channel? shoot. cause bfa assassination feelsgoodman

strange python
#

boots bracers sims so high for me

#

jeez

frosty linden
#

So bleed build (boots + bracer, t21 4pc, t20 2pc) sims higher than my poison (shoulder + bracer, t21 4pc) but i cant help but notice not a single decent log is a bleed build. Can someone explain this to me as im a fucking idiot

sand whale
#

because of your gear, not sure how to answer this tbh your stat distribution probably favours it.

#

logs are all poison because it does sim highest and higher variance as poison

frosty linden
#

Also the ravenholdt bleed guide suggests deeper stratagem over hemhorrage and surely hemhorrage would go perfectly with a bleed build?

safe matrix
#

no

#

because deeper strategem buff rupture by a lot

#

the 5% to it + the extra combo point makes it go from hitting like a truck, to making it hit like a bus

strange python
#

also hemorrage is with elaborate planning not deeper strat

drifting cosmos
#

they are in different tiers

safe matrix
#

elaborate planning and master poisoner right?

shrewd oriole
#

I am home

#

This date was def juicier

safe matrix
#

israeli girl again?

shrewd oriole
#

Ye boi

safe matrix
#

nice

rain urchin
#

does feint spam still reduce the cd on vendetta with boots? or nah

#

I feel like i've heard at some poitn that they patched that out

civic palm
#

Doesn't. Have to FoK the CD away.

rain urchin
#

ah, so fok works then, cool

#

the FoK meme lives on

civic palm
#

To a degree, it will always be with us.

strange python
#

why does HC aggra not give all-star points on wcl anymore?

steep obsidian
#

add padding?

#

you mean mythic?

safe matrix
#

Cause you can kill the adds over and over again

#

And cheese the fight

dawn kettle
#

you want to have SoT up before you use tb outside of kb and vendetta windows right

#

or am i doing it wrong

dire remnant
#

if rupture and envenom buff are gonna end at the same time, which one do you guys prioritize in rolling? assuming you only have enough cp/energy to get one up, and maybe like 2-3 seconds later u can get the other one up?

honest jolt
#

Prolly rupture priority

spare cloud
#

Rupture.

dawn kettle
#

its only really important to keep envenom up 100% during KB, it's very unrealistic to have it up 100% of the time

spare cloud
#

The more the better

#

And yes it's kinda impossible on bossfights, you aim for around 70-80% depending on how long the bossfights are

dawn kettle
#

pretty much

#

i think i had a 76% uptime on our varimathras kill this week?

steep obsidian
#

envenom isn't that hard to manage especially considering it pandemics, sot is a bit more tricky same as 4p

#

if tricky is "don't spam buttons too much and think a little"

dawn kettle
#

basically. i tend to just shut down in raid more often than not and just mindlessly run through the rotation

#

there's a word for that, but i cant think of it right now for some reason

lone junco
#

@frosty linden bleed vs poison. Bleed can avg higher. Shoulder bombs will have a higher top end. Top logs are a lot of bomb luck. And. Bleed gear is a bit harder to put together.

frosty linden
#

yeah i resimmed and i was wrong poison does sim higher but by a very slim gain

#

like a 50k dps difference which rly isnt much

lone junco
#

Top logs are a 3bomb in shoulder. And people follow top logs whether it is best for them or not.

paper elbow
#

Guys, during vendetta and KB do i not worry about clipping the buff from envenom? Do i spam env asap? Or do i treat it like normal rotation and only apply when in pandemic?

lone junco
#

Exang is smooth and syncs nicely around some mechanics.

dawn kettle
#

clip SoT inside of kb and vendetta but outside of shoulders if youre using them

#

if you have shoulders you spam envenom disregarding both sot and envenom buff

paper elbow
#

OK so spam env during those cds and also during the shoulder 100% crit windows?

#

i have shoulders but only have 4 pce with insig and helm which sims higher than 2pce with shoulders

dawn kettle
#

only spam envenom during shoulders window, clip SoT during KB/Vendetta

fervent beacon
#

@lone junco Exsang is going to be 100% top notch when I can use my outlaw set with haste/vers, I have 21% vers but my crit is around 30% but should be managble with 27% haste once the BfA change come in pre launch patch for bfa.

paper elbow
#

OIC, So maintaining energy is more important then as many envs during vendetta.

dawn kettle
#

you never want to cap energy, so if you have to use env outside of pandemic to avoid capping do it

paper elbow
#

@dawn kettle TY for your help. Im new to rog. only 945

#

whats the reasoning behind not getting in as many buffed envs as poss?

fervent beacon
#

Clipping Surge of Toxin which basically give you 10% free damage isn't smart on energy wise

dawn kettle
#

doesnt matter during vendetta/kb, you'll have plenty of energy to clip it, and that's the only time that i'll do it

lone junco
#

It never hurts to do more env. As long as you make it through the Kb with 100% uptime. 3env in the tb is really nice.

steep obsidian
#

I'm pretty sure the opener in the apl caps energy because it opens with vendetta

#

coz app it a dps increase to do so

dawn kettle
#

even if you do the guide opener, i cap energy for a game tick or two

#

i think i'll cap twice for a tick

steep obsidian
#

Urge to Kill Energy 24.67 529.03 (6.39%) 21.45 63.81 10.76%

#

so 10+ % waste of energy from vendetta

#

trying not to overcap is a good rule though

dawn kettle
#

that's from wowanalyzer?

civic palm
#

Overcapping is meant to express that you are not doing enough, a waste of energy is not a waste so long you can do what you need to do with it.

plain thistle
#

yes the apl does cap energy on the opener

#

no big deal

civic palm
#

and IIRC wowanalyzer is not maintained, so probably not.

steep obsidian
#

nah thats from the full report of a sim i did under the resources

civic palm
#

or is someone on that now > _>

steep obsidian
#

i did xsang too and it wastes less energy

#

Urge to Kill Energy 24.37 560.94 (6.22%) 23.02 25.01 4.27%

civic palm
#

Not really a waste

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

steep obsidian
#

yeh i know

#

if its a dps increase its not a "waste"

#

just found it interesting

civic palm
#

also if it

#

is not a dps loss to pool overcap (which is almost never the case as far as I know) then the "waste" isn't really a waste.

#

Example for that would be having to run out of something, or anytime you are not in melee range.

dawn kettle
#

capping is only a dps loss if youre actively hitting the boss

#

pretty sure i cap energy all the time running between kingaroth adds

civic palm
#

Should keep up things on Kin as much as you can.

#

Since I believe that's just damage reduction, and not immunity.

dawn kettle
#

yeah, it's usually a free energy bank while adds are up

#

rupture just before i leave, and rupture again as i run to the second one

civic palm
#

1 shot OTL tower > _>" not as easy as Feral but still.

dawn kettle
#

i cheesed the shit out of feral's MT

#

outlaw can actually fuck off

#

i spent like 4 hours trying to get it done

fervent beacon
#

I kind of want to try exang on mythic kin

dawn kettle
#

that'd probably be cool, but i doubt i have the gear for it

fervent beacon
#

once the BfA change get in for pre expan launch patch, im switching to exsang as my outlaw gear have high vers/crit/haste

steep obsidian
#

pre expac patch is always weird as hell balance wise

#

im sure there will be some dumb build that will be op for those few weeks

dawn kettle
ancient sonnet
#

inb4 alac mfd op

drifting cosmos
#

🤷 no one cares about balancing when new expan just hit

#

too busy lvling

pine brook
#

for mythic+ AOE

#

do we just FoK, and just rupture at max combos

#

on all the diff targets?

supple hearth
#

Ye and pray for pb

zealous dew
#

no

#

you put 1-2 bleeds out and then dump into env

#

and keep 100 env up

modest wind
#

is it bad if i wanna spec Dispatch asap cause... it's Dispatch

rose lichen
#

Is poison or bleed build better for antorous? thinking about making the swap from sub, haven't played assassination at all this expac

zealous dew
#

different gearsets, different relics, you can sim yourself and find the answer

sly cradle
#

i think with the 4 set bleed build is good but the energy means more envenom procs so poison does a lot more damage as well so imo poison build is where everything kind of leads too. but i agree with shantal better off siming and theory crafting off of that

zealous dew
#

bleed is generally harder to gear up

#

3ma required, high crit, versa

nova snow
#

Hello friends

jovial vault
#

poison is the general build to run bleed isnt worth the time to learn

nova snow
#

Fellow green boi here

hazy iron
#

Is 3MA still decent for poison, though?

nova snow
#

Which ma

hazy iron
#

sorry, vendetta

nova snow
#

Ye

jovial vault
#

yes

sly cradle
#

bleeds better burst if i remember right but posion does more damage over all? its been a while since ive played around with it

nova snow
#

3 ven is viable

#

But 3 ven and alch is optimal

jovial vault
#

2Mass isnt viable you want either 1 or 3

nova snow
#

Me not that kind of orc!

hazy iron
#

im working towards my 3rd alch, currently on 3vendetta and 2 alch, once i replace that balanced blades, I feel like my mutilates gonna be borked, because i have too much haste and not enough crit

nova snow
#

%crit?

hazy iron
#

sitting at 22%

nova snow
#

Damm

#

Thats actuallt terrible

hazy iron
#

i know, it's horrid

nova snow
#

Get EoC

#

Whats ur ilvl

hazy iron
#

974 lol

nova snow
#

Wtf

hazy iron
#

i have a960 fang

nova snow
#

Wow

#

Fuck u

sly cradle
#

jesus

#

LAMO

hazy iron
#

so what happened

nova snow
#

I still have 930 engine

#

Cause no luck kappa

hazy iron
#

was I got a super titanforged glove and belt, unfortunately both had haste, but they were still a dps upgrade on my old gear

nova snow
#

Lol

sly cradle
#

if youre 974 ilvl i think dropping some of that for crit is better idk tho

nova snow
#

U have to go for perfect itemization

dawn kettle
#

how high of vers are we talking for bleed?

nova snow
#

Crit mast only

hazy iron
#

feelsfuckingbad, im actually ready to take a dps drop for more crit, because landing on 3cp hurts way too much

nova snow
#

And some vers

#

Oh that's gonna happen

sly cradle
#

15% vers is a good spot i think could be more

nova snow
#

Its all rng

#

Just gotta get lucky

dawn kettle
#

oh, well guess 20% will work fine then

sly cradle
#

yeah I mean i wouldnt take anything i say to heart its been quite a while since iver played around on my rogue before i swapped to tanking for raid team but off the top of head 15% was a good starting point for vers

jovial vault
#

i think atm im at 969 with 30% crit 195% mast

nova snow
#

EoC?

dawn kettle
#

oh i have no intentions of swapping to bleed build any time soon. i dont think my guild is going to do very many bosses outside of garothi, dogs, then imonar forward, so the chances of me getting 3 MA relics is exceptionally low.

#

it's just interesting to see how stats fall for different builds

jovial vault
#

nah running a 960 fang

#

my eoc is 945

nova snow
#

Lol

#

Feelsbad

jovial vault
#

yup

#

dont wanna do a fuck ton of uppers agian

sly cradle
#

I feel like sub and sin discords are more active then outlaw feelsbadman

nova snow
#

Bro fuck upper

#

U cant even pug it

#

So many retards

dawn kettle
#

i pugged so many uppers trying to get one

nova snow
#

Unbearable

dawn kettle
#

luckily i got my 960 fang first

nova snow
#

EoC sims higher

dawn kettle
#

EoC is also really punishing if you swap targets.

nova snow
#

Lol

#

It takes 10 seconds

#

To get max stacks

#

Swapping is not an issue

gilded lark
#

or just use mouseover macros

dawn kettle
#

except that's 10 seconds where you could have 10 stacks of the buff already. it can sim higher all it wants but in reality i'm going to play around how my raid functions.

sly cradle
#

personally ive never used macros like mouseover ones cause i found it hard to work with, if you just get good muscle memory and tab targeting you can get by just as well

#

its just practice

dawn kettle
#

specter simmed higher for me throughout ToS but in actuality, it was bad just because it was very rare i would land both ghosts 100% of the time.

sly cradle
#

also if you know you need to swap saving combo points and small cds for the swap isnt too harsh on your meters if you play it right

gilded lark
#

tab targetting

#

eoc

dawn kettle
#

ive tab targetted plenty with eoc and not dropped stacks

sly cradle
#

or clicking the target instead of tab targeting either one works

#

its just how fast you can do it is all really, macros help but normal funtions work just as well

#

also if were talking raids and you wanna be as efficient as you can with multi targets may as well play sub honestly

dawn kettle
#

960 fang sims higher than a 940 EoC for me anyway, so unless i get one out of the box of disappointment, i'm not really gonna go out of my way to get one.

sly cradle
#

eh personally sims to me are like a this is ideal on a non movement single target fight like yeah EoC is amazing if you just hit on target but fangs better over all cause you can use cds more efficently with on swap fights

dawn kettle
#

basically.

sly cradle
#

like anyone that takes sims to heart on everything are missplaying in a huge way

#

its the whole ideal vs reality enviorment

muted badger
#

i really like fang

dawn kettle
#

i had like a 50% uptime on atleast one buff on varimathras i think

#

it's really really good

muted badger
#

i have a 965 fang

#

it's super good imo

sly cradle
#

varis like patchwork honestly

muted badger
#

better/easier than EoC imo

sly cradle
#

not an insane amount of movement

muted badger
#

EoC too random

sly cradle
#

or swap

muted badger
#

getting EoC is too random i mean

dawn kettle
#

well, im supposed to swap

#

but i never do

#

dont tell my rl

sly cradle
#

lmao

dawn kettle
#

yeah 56% uptime on the agi buff, 40% uptime on the crit buff

jovial kite

slim estuary
#

Is there a way to check my env uptime during kB on logs?

strange python
#

transferring to stormrage from a dead realm wish me luck

jovial kite
#

gl

sacred carbon
#

!Relics

vapid moth
#

Yes @slim estuary. Go to timelines

slim estuary
#

Is there a way to have like an actual % show or have I just gotta visually go “yeah mate she looks alright”

vapid moth
#

Maybe there is. I'm just not advanced enough in how to read it. Otherwise you just go to the timeline and make sure they both overlap for the duration of kb

slim estuary
#

Hopefully one of the big boys here have an answer

vapid moth
#

Alright. I won't take offense to that.

slim estuary
#

You just said you’re not big boy enough to know 😂😂

vapid moth
#

Hey I said maybe. For all we know there might not be a way

jovial kite
#

you cant

#

you have to look it up for every kb

#

wanna link that log ?

#

@slim estuary

vapid moth
#

Ha!

jovial kite
#

you can look up the timelines of kb and pull up an envenom uptime graph above it

#

to help looking it up

slim estuary
#

Thanks mate I’ll take a look st that then 😃 if I have to refresh rupture towards the end of kB or refresh env towards the end of kB what should I pick

strange python
#

slagg why doesnt bleed use subterfuge

jovial kite
#

because it does less damage than ns vanish rupture

strange python
#

makes sense

jovial kite
#

rupture is your main damagedealer so its only logical to buff it vs anything else

#

and during execute yours ns vanish rupture exsang is insane

strange python
#

i was playing a bit of it earlier today and the opener on ravenholdt didnt make sense

jovial kite
#

hm?

strange python
#

theres no way without t20 that you could garotte that fast

jovial kite
#

i think the opener is with t20

#

and i personally dont see the idea of playing exsang without t20

strange python
#

it sims higher than my poison by like 40k

#

with t21

#

just not sure what the opener would be without t20

jovial kite
#

and i got to say i wouldnt refresh garrote before exsanquinating on the opener

#

as your garrote is 50% buffed

#

and you only get max 30% longer garrote if you refresh it

#

if i get bad rolls on mutilate before vanish rupture id say you can refresh

strange python
#

without t20 tho i cant anyway

jovial kite
#

but if its 2x mut vanish just keep the empowered garrote

#

yeah

#

its irrelevant if u got no t20

strange python
#

so follow it other than the refresh?

jovial kite
#

yeah

#

garrote mut rupture mut until 6cp vanish rupture exsang mutilate kb envenom

strange python
#

later in the fight i hold vanish for exsang tho, yes?

jovial kite
#

yes

#

execute exsang is your highest dmg output of the whole fight

#

so if you only get 1 vanish during the fight, save it for execute when you have potion and vendetta up

#

you can also hold it for a little longer to try to get concordance / ssf buff to make it even crazier

strange python
#

makes total sense. during my mid fight exsangs do i try to like hold garotte until im about to combo or?

jovial kite
#

without t20 i wouldnt play around garrote that much tbh

#

the damage isnt that high

#

just try to max uptime rather

#

if you go out of exsang without garrote your energy regen is scuffed

#

that hurts ur ep envenom and 2p uptime

strange python
#

mhm. thanks btw not a lot of bleed resources

jovial kite
#

yeah because noone plays it LUL

#

i think i might be the only one playing it at high level

strange python
#

one last question. after exsang with the 8 or so secs of rupture, do i let it fall off or can i pandemic it?

jovial kite
#

you mean an exsanguinated rupture?

strange python
#

yeah

jovial kite
#

never refresh an exsanguinated anything

#

let it fall off

#

and make sure you have cp to refresh it instantly as it drops

#

if its a rupture that is

strange python
#

alright. i didnt know if it overwrote or if it was dynamic

jovial kite
#

if you refresh exsanguinated bleeds it stops the exsanguination

#

so you lose a shitton of dps

#

even more so if you refresh a vanish empowered bleed

strange python
#

for some reason i was thinking exsang basically made those 20s of a 28s rupture tick instantly but now i see what it actually does

#

basically puts all 28s into 8s of rupture or w/e

jovial kite
#

yeh

#

they tick faster

strange python
#

i feel like bleed is god tier on kin'g

#

since it totally fits bleed niche

jovial kite
#

its great for progress imo

strange python
#

prio adds n such

jovial kite
#

nothing beats a shoulder pb tb on the add though if you get lucky

#

but bleed is super good on kingaroth

#

due to being superconsistent

#

and if you proc bota on the add

#

you do insane dmg

strange python
#

thats amazing. and you have it up for every add with boots right

yeah.. you got vanish exsang vendetta for every add

#

and you can vendetta exsang between addphases on boss '

#

exsang is great for aggramar too

slim estuary
#

Should I bother rup and garr on eonar? or only on obfuscator, pacifier, and destructor?

strange python
#

Im hoping it stays simming the best for me, its a fun playstyle that im not bored of like poison

jovial kite
#

from what i've seen from my own sims

#

exsang is better than tb at high ilvl profiles

#

by 100k+

#

i sim 2.55m with 979 ilvl

neon bluff
#

Holy hell

jovial kite
#

highest tb i've seen is 2.35m at 980 ilvl

strange python
#

thats busted

#

its just retraining muscle memory

#

i wish i had 1 more MA relic also

jovial kite
#

3 ma is pretty much needed

#

if you want to play optimally

#

so happy hunting 😉

neon bluff
#

Are the 3 really that mandatory?

strange python
#

ive got 1 currently and i have to hold exsang like 6 seconds before i can combo

jovial kite
#

yes marin

neon bluff
#

FeelsBadMan

jovial kite
#

you dont have to hold exsang for vendetta

strange python
#

is it not worth it? someone told me it was

jovial kite
#

it lines up perfectly with 3

neon bluff
#

With boots?

jovial kite
#

yeah

amber sleet
#

slagg

jovial kite
#

i mean sure mixtaepe but in a long fight you are going to lose exsang casts

amber sleet
#

link ur profile

jovial kite
#

which is super valuable because you will lose that exsang from the execute

strange python
#

thats v true

jovial kite
#

so basically you lose 1 of your highest output cooldowns

strange python
#

well shit guess ill start exsanging on cd, that makes tons more sense

jovial kite
#

6 seconds doesnt sound like much but if you lose 1 full exsang because of those 6 seconds piling up, you'll lose alot of dmg and dps in the end

#

i mean

#

you want to exsang during vendetta

#

so thats the issue

#

with not having 3 ma

#

you have to sacrifice vendetta uptime for a dry exsang

#

or you might lose that 1 exsang from execute

strange python
#

welp. while i fish for them my best option is to dry exsang right?

jovial kite
#

in short fights no

#

its a bit tricky

#

in fights where you will most likely not lose a cast

#

just wait for vendetta to come online

#

and honestly id die inside for every dry exsang i or anyone else makes

#

so i probably wouldnt even play without 3 ma

#

you sacrifice so much and scuff your whole gameplay

strange python
#

back to farming m+ for relics /shudder

jovial kite
#

@strange python you shouldnt shudder at losing ilvl on a relic to get that ma btw

#

its super value

strange python
#

how much ilvl we talking

jovial kite
#

you can easily lose 20 ilvl on a relic and still gain dps

strange python
#

im at like 985 weapons

#

aye

#

makes sense

#

ill start doing 15s then

jovial kite
#

but always sim to be sure

strange python
#

yeah absolutely

jovial kite
#

like.. when i made the switch i dropped 45 ilvl to get that 3rd ma

strange python
#

is this raidbots 'best gear' thing neat or hwat btw

jovial kite
#

and gained 30k dps

#

but its case sensitive and should always be simmed

#

its pretty neat imo 😄

#

but i rarely use it

#

for alts maybe

strange python
#

i really only use it for like seeing how close different lego combos are in my gearset

jovial kite
#

yeah its good for that i guess

amber sleet
#

@jovial kite Could you link ur wow profile?

jovial kite
#

search for slackjack-stormreaver on armory

amber sleet
#

Thanks

jovial kite
#

eu btw

amber sleet
#

U going for BB trait or Malch in the crucible?

jovial kite
#

i currently have 2x malch 1x rupture dmg

#

rupture dmg is the highest simming relic for me

#

but i wont change all because i need to play poison or some bosses

amber sleet
#

Oh really?

jovial kite
#

yeah 3x malch 3x rupture dmg is bis

#

for st

#

but if you need to switch builds between some bosses i dont encourage you to go full rupture dmg

#

the difference is like 15k for me between malch and rupture dmg

amber sleet
#

What about that 3x MA?

jovial kite
#

yeah thats a must

#

so id worry first and foremost about getting 3x ma

amber sleet
#

so 3xMA + 3xmalch/Rupt?

jovial kite
#

its the thing that really enables this build

#

yes

amber sleet
#

kk

jovial kite
#

bb isnt bad at all either

#

it sims higher for lower crit profiles

#

but i have 48% crit

#

so bb loses value

#

as its basically crit but only worse

amber sleet
#

I currently got 40% crit with bleed set on

jovial kite
#

thats decent

#

i think bb could be better for you than malch or rupture dmg

#

sim to be sure :3

amber sleet
#

Probably not gonna switch to bleed anyways, but got curious when u said higher ilvl profiles might get more value out of it

#

Im at 978ilvl

jovial kite
#

tb scales really bad

#

compared to exsang or even alacrity

#

at the end of expansion i suspect exsang will be the highest simming build

#

thats what my own sims are implying anyways

amber sleet
#

Yea that makes sense

#

I will get about 42% crit when i swap out my enchants and gems

jovial kite
#

nice

strange python
#

what fights are you playing poison on slagg

jovial kite
#

i dont want to affect your decisions but with that gear id go exsang 😉

#

basically only full aoe fights

#

exsang is better on st and 2-3 target cleave

#

but loses on full blown aoe

strange python
#

aye. so like eonar /pk if you're staying down?

jovial kite
#

eonar and high command pretty much

gaunt moat
#

Well, on Eonar even if you're poison, as sin if you're trying to AoE you're doing it wrong.

jovial kite
#

i mean i still wouldnt progress the boss as exsang

Just got the legendary shoulders - Should i cast vanish -> envenoms through the fight now or should i still cast vanish -> ruptures?

zealous dew
#

!singuide

chrome tuskBOT
unique minnow
#

Vanish ruptures is correct i think

#

i think dont quote me on this

#

but i think nightstalker buffs the rupture

kindred cedar
#

yeah i read that guide, can't find an answer to my specific question in there.

unique minnow
#

im pretty sure though

kindred cedar
#

nvm, found it actually

#

my bad

#

what im if specced subterfuge then? for multi target encounters?

turbid harbor
#

use vanish envenom in the vast majority of cases with shoulders

unique minnow
#

wow im dumb ive been doing two things wrong

#

i usually put kb before tb

#

and i vanish rupture

turbid harbor
#

subterfuge and shoulders don't work as well together, but subterfuge is usually the better talent without shoulders even on 1 target

kindred cedar
#

ah i see, thanks.

#

but vanish ruptures then with shoulders and nightstalker, right?

unique minnow
#

nope

#

apperently its vanish envemon

turbid harbor
#

only very rarely would you want to vanish rupture with shoulders

unique minnow
#

it was just a habit of mines

kindred cedar
#

ah i see

#

but the guide says vanish rupture?

turbid harbor
#

like if you aren't aligning the vanish with tb for whatever reason and you're in execute range for bracers

kindred cedar
#

pP

#

o_O *

turbid harbor
#

it's much easier to just vanish envenom all the time

#

you also need pandemic to line up nicely to vanish rupture

#

what guide says vanish rupture?

kindred cedar
#

• Use Vanish to apply rupture as often as possible if specced Nightstalker.

#

ravenholdt guide

unique minnow
#

non it was jus something i did

steep obsidian
#

vanish rupture without shoulders

#

with shoulders always nv

#

isnt that what it says?

kindred cedar
#

so i should ignore guide then and vanish envenom?

unique minnow
#

bc at that point you are applying it twice

turbid harbor
#

• If you have Mantle of the Master assassin then you would cast Envenom instead of rupture.

kindred cedar
#

oooooooooooh

unique minnow
#

for no reason except the buff

kindred cedar
#

nvm,

turbid harbor
#

also in ravenholdt guide

kindred cedar
#

im fucking retarded.

#

it says envenom further down if shoulders

turbid harbor
#

yea that's potentially a little misleading

steep obsidian
#

common sense is that you want to fit all the damage into your crit window with shoulders

unique minnow
#

this has been very helpful conversation

steep obsidian
#

rupture doesnt do that

kindred cedar
#

ah i see, how do you do your opener with nightstalker and shoulders?

unique minnow
#

what about tb in vanish after envenom

turbid harbor
#

you want to tb before you vanish

#

and just envenom mut envenom mut envenom in mantle window

#

@kindred cedar the openers are all in the guide

unique minnow
#

garrote - mutil - rupture - tb - kb - mutil - vanish - envenom

#

so you can get that beautiful 5-6 combo point envemon on the mantle buff

turbid harbor
#

you don't need that muti before vanish

#

tb kb with mantle buff puts you at 5cp

shrewd oriole
#

Yes you do

#

To get rupture up

unique minnow
#

its justkinda a failsafe incase they dont proc

shrewd oriole
#

What rabbit described is correct

turbid harbor
#

?

shrewd oriole
#

Garrote muti rupture gets your bleeds going

unique minnow
#

bc sometimes they only give one each

turbid harbor
#

i said before vanish

#

do you think i'm an idiot

shrewd oriole
#

Then you TB KB vanish envenom

turbid harbor
#

or do you need glasses

tacit wing
#

he said tb - kb - mutil - vanish - envenom

warm parcel
#

he just misread

shrewd oriole
#

Oh

tacit wing
#

no need for the mutilate

shrewd oriole
#

Yeah I misread my bad sorry

#

Lmao

unique minnow
#

i just do it so if it doesnt crit

shrewd oriole
#

But you have mantle

#

How does it not ceit

#

Crit*

unique minnow
#

the tb and kb

#

before the vanish

shrewd oriole
#

Doesn’t answer my question, those are still within the initial mantle window

turbid harbor
#

it won't give you crit cps if you get partial blocked or parried from attacking in front of the boss

#

but just attack from behind and you're fine

unique minnow
#

gotcha

turbid harbor
#

only minor problem would be vari with tanks like in my guild

unique minnow
#

do you do the middle of the room thing

turbid harbor
#

i always sneak behind boss away from group stack 😄

unique minnow
#

or the wal thing

#

like how do you position him

turbid harbor
#

middle of room everybody stacked

#

but tanks are spread

unique minnow
#

ah

turbid harbor
#

so if it's hitting one of the tanks

#

you'll count as in front

shrewd oriole
#

Do you two tank

#

Can you even two tank vari

turbid harbor
#

nah we 3

shrewd oriole
#

I legit don’t know

turbid harbor
#

idk the specifics

#

but the tnaks have to be 8yards spread or something

shrewd oriole
#

Me neither lol

turbid harbor
#

and then 3rd tank takes all necrotic stuff

unique minnow
#

in heroic i dont think its possilble

shrewd oriole
#

To do what?

unique minnow
#

2 tank it

#

it would be really hard to deal with all the shit

#

but then again im not a tank

turbid harbor
#

im talking about mythic when people 3 tank

#

pretty sure everybody 2 tanks on heroic

shrewd oriole
#

Don’t think I’ve ever 3 tanked heroic vari lol

#

You only need 3 cuz of the mythic mechanic

unique minnow
#

i guess its just pugs

#

bc sadly my guild has only gotten pass hc kin

#

and i havent raid with them in like a month

turbid harbor
#

one of my friend's guilds world rank 1500ish 3 tanked every boss until antorus this expansion

#

so if one of the tanks died

shrewd oriole
turbid harbor
#

they had a backup 😄

shrewd oriole
#

1500 strats

unique minnow
#

i already got my aoc

but my guild just dont have enough people on willing to help

Hey 👺

#

1500 is not bad

jovial kite
turbid harbor
#

that's why i was so surprised

#

they get cutting edge most tiers

and they 3 tank everything

obviously being good and bad is relative

"Hey baby these are normally private, but I'm going to do you a solid."

Before you explain to them that you play exsanguinate instead of sticking to the Normie meta you have to put on a raincoat.

no, thats when i pull out the kayak

calm grail
#

Real talk for a second, do you think the Mastery change next expansion will make exsanguinate just as viable?

#

I mean, assuming all things equal.

jovial kite
#

cant say much yet

#

but hasted bleeds and mastery look promising

calm grail
#

Yeah, I know it's early, I just meant feeely

jovial kite
#

if no big changes

#

we are still locked with crit

#

so its probably going to be some mix between crit mastery and haste

calm grail
#

I just like the idea of having your damage sources more balanced.

jovial kite
#

current build has exsang at 100% so its a baseline nerf if it sticks

#

might need a haste breakpoint to make it work

#

then just dump everything excess in crit and mastery

#

like.. it can be impossible to make it viable

#

if we need to have 3 stats high

but well see

should I use boots if CD timings suck on aggramar?

Until i get full T21, are there any relatively fast solutions to help make energy regen a little better?

steep obsidian
#

rupture everything

#

remember to poison yer weapon

lone junco
#

@silver mango depends on what you mean by better. Sin is really slow. You mut, you wait you env you wait. you vendetta you mut mut vanish rupture mut mut env.

#

4p is great but maybe your expectations are too high.

silver mango
#

the energy regen from t21 vs. no t21

#

seems pretty material?

lone junco
#

compare to what

silver mango
#

2t20, 2t21 or 4t20

#

i just reinstalled after 5 months away

lone junco
#

have a log?

#

crit helps a lot. and bb relics

silver mango
#

i have only done 1 lfr and 1 normal ant

#

i think i have a normal log

lone junco
#

it pushes cps

#

then dont worry.

#

2p20 was a huge energy gain

#

use 2p2p until you have 4p21

silver mango
#

ya i am

#

it just feels like the regen is so much worse haha

lone junco
#

then thats it.

silver mango
#

than what i remember in tos

#

don't judge shit dps haha

#

i have only been playing a day since 5 month break

lone junco
#

np

silver mango
#

trying to get caught up in friends & family heroics b4 i app to a new guild, and didn't play sin in t20

#

played sub t20

#

so im getting double whammied a little now that i switched back to sin

#

feels bad

lone junco
#

you 723 E/min
me 1207 e/min

4p was worth 238 e/min

#

the only way to push more E is more vendettas.

#

and your opener is close, but a tad off

silver mango
#

gotcha

#

so i mean assuming i had an incremental 238

lone junco
#

(it depends on crit rate and env uptime )

silver mango
#

the remaining 250 gap

lone junco
#

remaining 250 gap is prob my 3vend+boots

silver mango
#

gotcha

lone junco
#

I dont have a shoulder bracer to compare.

#

your cp use is reasoable

#

mut on 4 here. but other than that, pretty good

silver mango
#

meaning i'm not wasting a shit load of cps

warm geode
lone junco
#

right

silver mango
#

ya, odd

#

hopefully it will improve w/ the 2pc 21 then

#

my energy regen is brutal

#

haha

lone junco
#

you might slow down some tbh

#

you are staying too low e for the KB/Tbs

silver mango
#

btw, mind saying how you cn look at e/.min

lone junco
#

i took the timeline Total E gain / 2:56 (56/60+2)

silver mango
#

ahhh, cool

#

so other than not having the t21, nothing really sticking out?

lone junco
#

I didnt count the waste, cause thats not what you wanted

#

rupture/garrote is fine. 97+

#

opener needs adjustment. 5cp into vanish Env. not vanish mut

silver mango
#

gotcha

lone junco
#

this is limp

#

you TB at low E, at an orgy with no boner.

#

just stood there.

silver mango
#

wait - so no tb on cd?

#

thats how i have been playing

lone junco
#

TB on cd, but before , you drop Env uptime some to pool up to like 60+.

#

goal is 2-3 Env during that TB

#

same happened here.

#

If TB and KB are up together, put the tb before the KB. and you dropped env buff for a significant portion of the KB

silver mango
#

okay, makes sense - def need to be more aware of that

lone junco
#

there are a few goals.

#

100% uptime on env during kb

#

2-3 env during TB

#

97%+ on bleeds

silver mango
#

so TB on CD, BUT w/ 60 + energy?

lone junco
#

and solid shoulders.

#

this is your bracer vanish.

#

going into it that env is wasted. if you rupture prior you could nail off 3 TB env during that shoulder

#

and in this case TB right before the vanish.

#

Vendetta can stay put, just delay the Vanish until everything is set up.

silver mango
#

gotcha

#

have to make sure to reapply fresh bleeds and TB first

#

then vanish, spam env

lone junco
#

just make sure you never have to cast rupture during shoulder.

#

and TB before vanish

opaque mural
#

or you can rupture refresh for dem sweet nighstLker ticks

lone junco
#

you are playing a huge gamble spec, and that vanish shoulder at open and bracer is your money. take care of them

#

do not vanish rupture with shoulders.

silver mango
#

ty

lone junco
#

mostly your ilvl is low. the rest is all fairly close.

#

look, at that last vanish,

#

Use a TTD (time to death) tracker

#

recognize when you are T <2min, and <30%, and < vendetta timing.

#

that would be vanish, bracer, and last vendetta. If you are in those regions. its fine to delay anything to line it up with something.

Good rule of thing would be "is there haste on it?" If it's not the legendary shoulders or wrists and you said yes, delete it.
