harsh glacier
#

might just sim my char a bunch

hollow stone
#

I drop 5 ilvl for m+ so i can run 2x ss

#

And its better

mental fiber
#

@harsh glacier check the pinned message about ss

hollow stone
#

Simming ss is tough too as the default apl prioritizes not wasting cps over using a 3rd ss emp garr

vague schooner
#

Would you drop to a 340 SS, over a 385 of ruinous bolt for m+

#

If it would make SS a 2 stack

hollow stone
#

Probably. I drop my 385 tailwinds and 370 sb for 340 and 355 ss

vague schooner
#

Hmm I'll give it a go, test it out

spice frost
#

I drop 370 laser matrix for 355 ss, that’s about it.

verbal dock
#

Worth dropping any 370 for 340 ss, in m+.

lime panther
#

Triple ss is still by far the best m+ regardless of ilvl drop

spice frost
#

Not saying it’s better cause I haven’t tested, but I wear 370 archive over 340 ss in m+. Still 2 ss though.

#

Archive maintains stacks in between pulls pretty well

hollow stone
#

I do the same @spice frost but i only do 9+ keys. That may matter

lime panther
#

The higher the key the better, lower then 10s idk shit doesn't live long enough

dense marsh
#

guys a quick question please which race is better for rouge troll orc or blood elf?

final stone
#

BE master race

harsh glacier
#

belf apparently

hollow stone
#

I did feelycraft after the ss nerf. Did 8 m9-10s and the combo im running performed the best from a % overall dmg perspective running with the same group

harsh glacier
#

Hero Damage doesnt show SS as #1 though guys? the tcupdates thing says its updated

hollow stone
#

Race doesnt really matter but if youre looking to absolutely minmax, pretty sure troll is best

ruby idol
#

I'd argue the higher the key the worse ss gets @lime panther

hollow stone
#

Theres definitely a sweet spot for ss @ruby idol @lime panther

dense marsh
#

ok i thought it might be orc or blood elf

ruby idol
#

Even tyrannical week you hit packs where you get your garrotes off, they tick down, and then theres another 30 seconds of the fight

#

Each one of those seconds ss loses value

lime panther
#

I mean the higher u go u get more vanish uptimes on trash so idk it's hard to determine tbh

hollow stone
#

Its a different play style no doubt

lime panther
#

In a good group I'm typically 13.5-16k overall

hollow stone
#

Ss you want to push hard on trash, no ss would be hard st. and generally speaking, you make up more time on trash than you do on bosses running "aoe sin"

lime panther
#

In 10s

hollow stone
#

Which is usually gonna put you at top for overall dmg

lime panther
#

But I run ex CT religiously 😂

hollow stone
#

Hell yea

ruby idol
#

Ya I'm talking 14-16s is where trash starts to feel more rupture/ct reliant than ss garrotes carrying. Tho it's still bis trait, I can just feel it start to lose a bit if value

harsh glacier
#

I onyl have 1 ss atm

#

is it worth running > like 2 SoB?

hollow stone
#

Yea. Over 10s, i think we will see sob start taking over

#

Sob and archives

mystic glade
#

do you use any special wa or addon to keep track of multidotting

deft sparrow
#

Don't think it's possible to let WA tracks the dots

#

track*

mystic glade
#

u just watch the nameplates? i just get confused trying to keep track of the rups and garrotes and stuff in big packs ^^

deft sparrow
#

you only need 3 ruptures in big packs

opaque grotto
#

Says who?

deft sparrow
#

in M+ 3 ruptures should be sufficient to keep energy up

#

if targets live long enough, more is fine 2

opaque grotto
#

Pretty sure you want to put rupture on any target that will live long enough.

faint sleet
#

But rupture is more dmg/cp than envenom is @deft sparrow

deft sparrow
#

yes 😃 that's why i said, if they live long enough 😉

opaque grotto
#

You can tab out like 3 cp ruptures and it will still be good

#

Okay then don’t say “just put out 3 ruptures” because that’s not the case at all.

deft sparrow
#

my bad

opaque grotto
#

People will misunderstand, just like there was some idiot in here saying “SS is trash” earlier

deft sparrow
#

anyway. he asked if it's possible to track it by WA

#

as far as i know, it's not. correct me when i'm wrong

opaque grotto
#

You might be able to see how many you have out with a WA, but I’m not sure how that would help

#

You’d still have to see which targets are NOT dotted, so what does the WA do for you

mystic glade
#

so you guys just watch nameplates? finding it ''hard'' since im not used to it when having garrotes and rups and everything

#

just have afenar wa atm

opaque grotto
#

Well what would you like the WA to do?

grizzled trail
#

if i use two pieces of gear that have reorigination array on them does it double the stacks? or is there no additional benefit?

deft sparrow
#

well.. i just tab switch quite often between targets.. if they are not dotted, i dot them

mystic glade
#

might have give in and change from standard nameplates then 😃

opaque grotto
#

Yeah, idk how a weakaura would help you

#

But there are some good nameplate addons that will stack the nameplates and show dots pretty large

mystic glade
#

was thinking something like if i have 3 rups up, i can see duarion on each of them. but wouldnt help me since i wouldnt be able to tell directly from the wa wich rupture is on who

deft sparrow
#

that's not possible @mystic glade

opaque grotto
#

Yeah exactly, it can tell you the number of ruptures but it doesn’t tell you which one is on what target

#

So it seems pretty useless

lime panther
#

U get that info from the nameplates

opaque grotto
#

And what yamsa said

lime panther
#

There are wa for debuffs I have a St tracker as well

#

Mainly for bosses n shit

mystic glade
#

Thanks everyone 😃

deft sparrow
#

correction: it's not possible via WA. as the others say: it might be possible via nameplates

#

damn it, just got back from 16 day holiday (non WOW playing) and now i'm so confused with the nerfs etc

lime panther
#

U can have your WA show only when on selected target , so if your targeting something without bleeds you'll know.. but it's far better to use nameplates in a dungeon setting

#

It's rogue dots or rogue bleeds , but I have mine customized

gleaming kelp
#

is there anyone with the opener with MA / TB ?

lime panther
#

Pins?

mystic glade
#

Wich one would u reccomend of the name plate addons if im allowed to ask in this channel : )

lime panther
#

I use elvui nameplates and I don't recommend it 😂 I'll be changing them soon

dark token
#

Kui nameplates has good defaults for rogue imo

deft sparrow
#

so Double Dose over SS now ?

vapid oracle
#

i use plater and love it but its personal preference and definately depends on how much effort you put into customization

spiral furnace
#

i use blizzard standard and its working fine

vapid oracle
#

UI is totally preferential use whatever you like the best

lucid bolt
#

what are some must have addons u guys think? im using hero rotation instead of weak auras

exotic glen
#

for the spec or game as a whole?

lucid bolt
#

i guess the game as a whole

#

i mean nothing obvious like DBM

#

but do u guys have any hidden gems to share?

spiral furnace
#

AzeriteTooltip

lucid bolt
#

what does that do?

spice surge
#

Only WA (or anything similar) and Bigwigs/dbm is must have imo

#

Everything else is fluff

nocturne mulch
#

how is herorotation different from weakauras?

lucid bolt
#

yeah true i just learned of pawn recently i really like it, anything that helps me think less i love

#

herorotation is just a super simplified version of WA

#

its for people with sub 80 iq

#

which is perfect because im like high 60s

spiral furnace
#

WA doesnt require IQ to import some strings and use them lol

lucid bolt
#

the flashy lights and effects confuse me

#

i am a simple boy i see button with number i press that button

warm kettle
#

hey what you guy s using as sources for the most up to date pvp guide

tulip wedge
#

@nocturne mulch herorotation gives suggestions on what keys to press next in rotation, weakaura lets you display cooldowns/buffs/other conditions in whatever way you want

#

you can make a rotationhelper IN weakaura if you want

strange python
#

If you end up at 5cp with toxic blade ready, do you tb->envenom or envenom->tb? I'm guessing the former but just looking for confirmation

tulip wedge
#

envenom tb

strange python
#

Why?

tulip wedge
#

dont waste CP

strange python
#

dont you think 30% extra damage to envenom is worth more than 1 cp?

oblique fox
#

It's a whole wasted global

tulip wedge
#

you can run a sim of it if you want but no, it's not

daring imp
lone junco
#

Did you see my haste plot?

#

It bounces at 23%.

#

Ish.

daring imp
#

with reorigination i think i'm around 24 or 25%

#

so many sockets

lone junco
#

That should be on the way back up

lucid bolt
#

if i have 4 combo points should i do envenom or do tb to get 5 CP and than envenom?

daring imp
#

damn

lone junco
#

It's a good thing I think.

daring imp
#

it is a good thing, tho i'll probably switch my crit enchant in a few ç_ç'

#

u know what fuck that, not gonna spend 5k

strange python
#

Tb and env

lucid bolt
#

thx steck

daring imp
#

@lucid bolt i'd do tb and env, tho don't be holding TB for when you have only like 2 cps, use it right away and fit 1~2 envenoms 4+cp inside it easy peezy

lucid bolt
#

aight thanks guys

#

i have a hard enough time counting my combo points

daring imp
#

do you use weakauras?

lucid bolt
#

nah i use herorotation

#

its easier for me

daring imp
#

trust me, you should be using this one

lucid bolt
#

aight when i get home this evening ill try to remember to check it out can u dm it to me?

#

thank you!

daring imp
#

done

lucid bolt
#

awesome

#

my item lvl is 361 but my dps aint so hot

daring imp
#

just a regular cp bar but the colors on it makes it easy enough to know how many you got without checking it all the time neither eyeballing all the time

tulip wedge
#

i switched to just used a giant # showing 0-5 ala mizerok, love it

daring imp
#

that one is nice too

#

i'm just too used to seeing the bar Ç_Ç

tulip wedge
#

Whats opener like for MA?

feral sedge
#

anyone got time to look at a heroic log? i'm parsing in the green and grey and think I have a lot of work to do

tulip wedge
#

link

feral sedge
#

lot of the uptimes are weird, bosses phasing etc

daring imp
#

@feral sedge something tells me you're not using sb with high enough stacks

#

avg cast was 4k? wth o_o

feral sedge
#

sb?

daring imp
#

poisoned knife

#

the stacks you get on autoattacking

tulip wedge
#

to start your opener is wrong, put dots up then vendetta. have you read the guide?

feral sedge
#

avg cast is 11.3k

#

overall

daring imp
#

oh, was looking parse by parse, mb

feral sedge
#

10.5 wrong row

#

yeah, I goofed my opener pretty bad on taloc I think, I read and fixed it

strange python
#

on the fetid you have one vendetta and 5 toxic blade in 3min+ fight

feral sedge
#

prepot, gar > rup > rup > ven > tb > envenom

tulip wedge
#

no

feral sedge
#

rup > gar *

#

typo

tulip wedge
#

ye

lucid bolt
#

can u guys do me to?

tulip wedge
#

still didnt do that on vec

lucid bolt
#

i never prepot

#

does it make a huge diff?

daring imp
#

well you got SS and don't use exsang

#

does tb actually sim higher or something?

feral sedge
#

i'll try it with current gear and find out

tulip wedge
#

what are you cheapshotting on fetid?

feral sedge
#

also vanishing... do I vanish > gar after the first gar drops (SS)? if so, do you hold Ven until vanish is back up?

hollow stone
#

@tulip wedge ma opener is the "non ss opener" on rh. It is g m r m vend tb van env m env

tulip wedge
#

but he has ss

hollow stone
#

I was answering your question prior to his

tulip wedge
#

ah thx

feral sedge
#

guide says to stack vanish and vend but the timing is off if you use it on 2nd garrote

tulip wedge
#

you use first vanish when garrote < 5.4s

feral sedge
#

!ss

prisma monolithBOT
#

Shrouded Suffocation
Currently still bugged. Applying 1-3 Garrotes in Subterfuge, and then applying another Garrote outside of Subterfuge, all of your Subterfuge-empowered Garrotes lose the Shrouded Suffocation multiplier, However the Subterfuge multiplier still remains.
Advised to not cast unbuffed Garrotes to avoid losing SS trait damage bonuses until this has been fixed.

feral sedge
#

ok so buffed garrote is fine for overwrite

tulip wedge
#

in pandemic window

feral sedge
#

just not the 3rd one etc

tulip wedge
#

ye

feral sedge
#

i wasnt doing that

#

so losing buffed dmg for sure

tulip wedge
#

@hollow stone we have to bother timing vanish with dots or does everything get buffed via MA

lucid bolt
#

can anyone give me advice on my dps? im thurgadin

hollow stone
#

Ma is dynamic

lucid bolt
#

not sure if im doing good or not dont really understand logs

hollow stone
#

During your ma window, your pre existing dots will have 50% more crit too

tulip wedge
#

meaning i just use it on CD (high CP high enegy)

feral sedge
#

So vanish and vend on same 2m CD, but going to be like 20s apart or so after the first vanish. Hold Vend for that or not?

tulip wedge
#

hold

hollow stone
#

You still want your van in your vend windows

#

As ma

feral sedge
#

running subterfuge atm

tulip wedge
#

ok, MA should be cake to transition to then not much change

feral sedge
#

is that wrong with SS?

tulip wedge
#

no thats right i was asking a different question earlier

feral sedge
#

ok

tulip wedge
#

about MA

hollow stone
#

If you played sin in legion, ma is legion sin w/o kb

daring imp
#

for example on vectis you're not garroting/rupturing the add much are you

tulip wedge
#

also mize i see a few 3x mutilates in a row

#

that means wasted CP

feral sedge
#

@tulip wedge cheapshot was probably a fat finger

#

somehow...

#

cause Subterfuge keeps up my stealth bar and I was trying to use envenom? idk why but thats been messing me up

#

if I'm doing stealth moves right it shouldn't tho

daring imp
#

well two things hurt your parses a lot, 1 --> low ilvl, and 2 --> kill speeds

final stone
#

kill speeds tank parsing lol

#

if they arre slooooow

daring imp
#

one thing for you to notice is that your fetid devourer kill was decent

#

60'ish is still fine, given you could've improved the dots uptime a bit by not switching to the add ( not sure if the strat you had was zerg boss or not )

feral sedge
#

we're not there yet on heroic

#

I did have to switch

daring imp
#

well there you go, even with bleeds ticking on boss, you can see autoattacks are one of our top dmg too

#

it goes for up to 1/4ish of our dmg ( 'cuz of instant poisons too )

hollow stone
#

Gotta max cheese on fetid: have group pop all cds except lust and yours on pull, push to 50% super quick, pop lust and your cds then, ???, 100 parse

#

Dont actually listen to me

daring imp
#

lul

feral sedge
#

seems that for raiding I should be really going for max haste and dumping crit

daring imp
#

i'd be simming stat weights

feral sedge
#

contrary to M+ where haste is garbo

#

kind of a pain for the spec

daring imp
#

i had haste below agi for a week, switched back to exsang with 1x SS only and BAM

feral sedge
#

so exsang is going to play a lil different than TB where you're using it on CD or mostly the same?

hollow stone
#

Quite different tbh

daring imp
#

well some say if you have galecaller's boon it's worth it to delay exs to use it within GCD's effect 'cuz of bleed snapshot

#

but ideally you wanna sync every vanish/vendetta and exs

#

it's more complicated

#

way more syncing shit to get the hang of

feral sedge
#

right, high dmg dots ticking faster

daring imp
#

and tracking dots all the time with exsang almost coming off cd

#

like a real madman

feral sedge
#

idk someone said sin is the easy spec... i found outlaw easy tbh, but this is more fun imo

hollow stone
#

Yea. To minmax xsang, you really need to know your timings and be planning at least 5 seconds, ideally 10 seconds, ahead

daring imp
#

well dot gameplay isn't for everyone

#

i love dots but i hate warlocks

hollow stone
#

Outlaw is the easiest to play for sure. The reason people say sin is easier is because it's slower giving you more time to think about your next ability

pulsar goblet
#

Sin is easiest pure st imo

hollow stone
#

Yea, this is obviously opinion based, i find outlaw the easiest for everything, personally

daring imp
#

outlaw snek is easiest fo'shure

feral sedge
#

its fun in pvp, i dont have to think about rotation

#

just whats going on

#

massive pressure

hollow stone
#

Snek makes me sick. Too much rerolling for my liking. I run ds and ace for outlaw; again, this is preference

#

Sorry, im leading this convo off track. Carry on with sin stuff

feral sedge
#

ace gives you 2 short CDs to track and makes it a little more heady to play... I still switched to Sin for the challenge

tropic pike
#

quick navigation on my mh and oh is good right?

feral sedge
#

I know they DR when they stack like that but idk if its best to do

#

i run deadly/quick, but I do M+ also

tropic pike
#

yeah i love M+ :)

hollow stone
#

Check pins. You want 2 diff stats for weap chants

tropic pike
#

ty

#

does it matter whcih is on which

feral sedge
#

not for us

#

well...

#

actually I think MH procs off abilities?

hollow stone
#

It does not. Tho technically your oh (for unknown reasons) has a slightly faster aa speed so, prob better to have better on in oh

#

But idk and if it makes a difference it is a tiny difference

tropic pike
#

cool

feral sedge
#

glad this community is so helpful, thanks for the feedback

hollow stone
#

Thats another reason sin is the "easiest". The community is bomb a/f

#

Myself included.. pats back

sweet flame
#

opener different with MA? Couldn't find anything about it in the pins

exotic glen
#

its not in the pins because its in the guide

sweet flame
#

where is it at in the guide?

exotic glen
#

under rotation

jaunty dagger
#

but the guide is in the pins 🤔

exotic glen
#

thats true

sweet flame
#

The guide says nothing about MA? all four openers only mention TB/Exsang with andwithout SS

#

and given the talents only mentioning Subterfuge, my assumption is that guide simply doesn't account for MA

exotic glen
#

well then make an assumption as to why it doesnt say anything about the rotation chaging

wheat vigil
#

Idk why people think sin is the easiest. Outlaw is mindless as long as you have a reroll/keep wa

glass vessel
#

i use gar->mut->rup->mut (1/2 depending on crits)-> vendetta->tb->env->van-> mut/env spam

cerulean walrus
glass vessel
#

might be completely wrong but i see 30k in raids

sweet flame
#

Like you even need a weakaura for outlaw

cursive cloak
#

mother and taloc and mother.. fck

cerulean walrus
#

@cursive cloak Hmmmm... ignore it?

wheat vigil
#

Went back to beat on her again?

exotic glen
#

should try playing MA instead of subterfuge when having no SS

wheat vigil
#

ma sims about .5% higher for me with 0 ss

glass vessel
#

it sims really close for me either way, i prefer MA with no SS tho

cerulean walrus
#

Currently for me the difference in DPS without SS still running Subt against MA is negligible

glass vessel
#

just go w/ your preference

cursive cloak
#

I have completely diff traits now, that was the day after they nerfed sharpened blades into ablivion also

glass vessel
#

but subt without SS feels weird lol

feral sedge
#

@daring imp w/ 1 ss exsang sims 0.1% higher than TB

glass vessel
#

and TB is so much more straightforward, most people will play better with TB

wheat vigil
#

I would consider any two that sim that closely to be whatever you prefer since one crit will swing the number

feral sedge
#

yeah im not consistent with the spec to add more complexity to it yet

ripe dock
#

@sweet flame For MA my API goes: garrote, mut to 4-5, rupture, vendetta, vanish, tb, mut, envenom, ect. On second vanish and thereafter it weaves vendetta vanish into normal rotation. That is, if you have 4-5 cp it envenom mut envenom, with 0 CP it mut envenom muts. Does not hold TB for vanish, use on CD.

sweet flame
#

TB has been higher than exsang even with 1 SS for me for quite some time

strange python
#

with 3 ss exsang is barely better for me

wheat vigil
#

Didn’t they put massive dr on stacking ss?

glass vessel
#

nah that was SB

#

they just nerfed SS bonus by a flat %

tribal marlin
#

rip sharpened blade

wheat vigil
#

Ah right

#

Does exsang work on rezan’s bleed or is it not considered ‘yours’

sonic spindle
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
mystic glade
#

would master poisoner be better to run for someone that is new to assa then elaborate? feel like i cant get another env while elaborate is active

hollow stone
#

Im gonna have to have this copied for a while it seems: ma opener is the "non ss opener" on rh. It is g m r m vend tb van env m env

wheat vigil
#

@mystic glade probably. Whatever one you’re best at usually wins out

round harbor
#

No

cerulean walrus
#

If you don't run with EP you'll never learn how to have EP upkeep

glass vessel
#

i would just learn EP tbh

#

sit on a training dummy for 10mins and you'll be good to go

ripe dock
#

I don't know how API handles envenom clips if at all, don't know much about that stuff in general really, but I would recommend going with EP if only to practice

round harbor
#

Ep is exponentially better in aor

#

Aoe

mystic glade
#

guessing the point with it is to get env in during the 4 sec window?

cerulean walrus
#

The goal is to keep it up 100% of the time

glass vessel
#

no the goal is to have maximum uptime

cerulean walrus
#

Or as close to it as possible

glass vessel
#

use env/rupture to do that. after that it's really just passive % increase for everything else

ripe dock
#

If you can, envenom with 0.1 sec remaining, so you buff envenom without losing to much EP uptime

#

Something that might get you used to pooling is to pool before your rupture refreshes, until rupture is going to run out or you are going to energy cap(do not energy cap) then you will find you can usually get the next one or two envenoms after that to clip EP buff

mystic glade
#

better get practising then o.o and also if i may ask opener in guide is to use TB just before the env but under the QnA is says '' tb on cooldown, really? Yes, on cooldown.'' does that mean that if i got 5cp when tb comes up, i do finisher then tb then mut? not waiting with the tb until 3/4 cp and use it right before env

#

or is it just literally 100% on cooldown no matter situation

cerulean walrus
#

Pop it when it comes up

#

Because even if you're overcapping you'll get a TB empowered Env

cursive cloak
#

Is there somewhere i can read up on an MA opener ?

cerulean walrus
#

Its literally legion sin rogue without Kingsbane

mystic glade
#

okay thanks 😃

hollow stone
#

ma opener is the "non ss opener" on rh. It is g m r m vend tb van env m env

#

I knew copy pasta'ing this would pay off

cerulean walrus
#

lol @hollow stone

cursive cloak
#

thanks @hollow stone you da real mvp

sonic spindle
#

Hero rotation APL shows g m r ven TB van m env m env

#

Am I just dumb?

#

Well, I am, but am I doing it wrong and dumb

hollow stone
#

No, the apl is because it worries about "over capping" cp

sonic spindle
#

But not on TB? cuz it’ll show me a TB at full CPs over an envenom.

#

My gut tell me to envenom cuz it feels dirty to not use a finisher on 5 points.

hollow stone
#

Right. Tb dmg is shit now so getting the buff up rather than waiting a couple gcds is better

#

Which is why i m before vend

sonic spindle
#

Ok, just want to make sure I’m not relying too much on the APL

hollow stone
#

"Worst case" you get 2cp into vend tb for 3-4cp. Then van env m env

#

Usually one of your mut hits or the tb crits giving you 4cp for that first ma emp env and then your ma emp m "should" give 3-4 and give another env

#

In your window. And if really lucky you get he big dirty env m env m env in your tb and spike hard on pull

sonic spindle
#

Yea, crits have been treating me good, I actually enjoy MA more than I thought I would tbh

quick fog
#

The env m env is only ever out of stealth right?

hollow stone
#

Right. Its only in your ma window

#

Otherwise clipping your env and ep is bad mmkay

quick fog
#

Just making sure. Was going for 4-5 env x2 during normal TB

hollow stone
#

Its just cause youre counting on the 2 env crits in ma/tb/vend window

#

Which is big dmg

#

Yea. That is what you do for your tb outside of ma window

quick fog
#

I luckily just got a SS 370 piece so I'm gonna switch back to that.

hazy pebble
#

SS are shit in raid now tho

#
  • this week's M+ bosses are mad, so id take DD instead
quick fog
#

I usually run with a warrior so I let him crush the boss and I just fuck up the trash.

hollow stone
#

It's not shit. Its just not bis st trait

lone junco
#

@hazy pebble SS is fine. Chart is just using ma.

hazy pebble
#

@quick fog why not the other way around! :p

lone junco
#

It requires subterfuge.

quick fog
#

It's hard to beat Execute even playing OL or Sub.

#

On bosses at least.

daring imp
#

fml i got 380/375 outlul weps

cerulean walrus
#

Then get em when they least expect it! Blindside OP

lone junco
#

I keep up with our warrior for m+ overall with 3ss. Seems fine.

cerulean walrus
#

Blindside confirmed execute killer

quick fog
#

I've been maining outlaw and only our warrior and DH usually beat me in ST. Sometimes the Sub, but I prefer Sin so I'm trying to get back to it. Need to get weapons again.

cerulean walrus
#

Wait you have a DH beating you in ST? I thought they were stronger in AoE

hazy pebble
#

@cerulean walrus Im guessing ST = boss w/ cleave

#

for him

cerulean walrus
#

Ah alrighty

quick fog
#

Its Uldir so it's all cleave. Lol

cerulean walrus
#

I suppose? I mean Taloc, MOTHER, Fetid, Vectis, and Mythrax are pretty much ST with an add phase

hazy pebble
#

I dont get why they nerf rogues like a mad dog and leave DH alone

cerulean walrus
#

If you really think about it

quick fog
#

Dh actually got buffed

#

Demon's Bite got buffed along with some talents which I think they already used

hollow stone
#

Hero classes gonna hero

opaque grotto
#

I mean rogues are still sick so the complaints aren’t really necessary

cerulean walrus
#

TFW they've never made a ranged hero class

hollow stone
#

Warlock is a hero class, lets be honest

hazy pebble
#

i hope they make a intellect tank class

cerulean walrus
#

Granted I guess DH counts as ranged since they can close the gap in half a second

hazy pebble
#

with cloth

opaque grotto
#

They could have made survival the 3rd DH spec lul

cerulean walrus
#

Omegalul

nimble tartan
#

i cant believe i still play a melee class in 2018

opaque grotto
#

I have a mage alt for some of the cancer fights

nimble tartan
#

why cant we all learn that ranged is just god tier in wow...

opaque grotto
#

Like mythrax

#

Also I’m pretty sure melee is dominating the dps charts but ok

stoic bolt
#

which stats affect exsanguinate damage the most?

rancid seal
#

I see a lot of top rogues still using fathoms, is it still bis even though it doesn't sim that high for rogue overall?

nimble tartan
#

ye but in prog u only see like 3-4 melee in hardest bossies

opaque grotto
#

Well that’s because it makes mechanics easier

#

Not the fact they do more dmg

nimble tartan
#

ye

cerulean walrus
#

Fathoms sims very high wtf? Its better than most trinkets until 370ilvl

nimble tartan
#

thats all i care about me no dmg hoe

opaque grotto
#

@rancid seal yea what dude, fathoms sims great

#

He probably sees it way down on the list and doesn’t understand how the graph works

#

Feelsbadman

nimble tartan
#

i cant wait to replace fathoms

rancid seal
#

am I misinterpreting it then?

nimble tartan
#

a true beta trinket

cerulean walrus
#

Hey dude, dropping anchors on people is the best trinket idea ever

daring imp
#

^

opaque grotto
#

Hover your mouse over the little bar next to fathoms

#

It tells you the % dps increase you get from it

#

Now compare that number to other trinkets at that ilvl

#

Or even 370/385 trinkets

keen hound
#

Also, compare it to other trinkets based on the ilv required to outperform fathoms

nimble tartan
#

i finally replaced fathoms for m+ though its lit

cerulean walrus
#

Whoa hang on a minute, you just called it a beta trinket

#

Now you go 180?

keen hound
#

Yes, other trinks show higher on the charts, but only at ridiculously high ilvs.

nimble tartan
#

how is it a 180 im saying i dont use it in m+ my guy

cerulean walrus
#

Unless that sentencing was completely screwed in which case it still makes sense

inner pulsar
#

Hey guys, is SS still terrible?

keen hound
#

It was never terrible

inner pulsar
#

I don't know if this will ever get old

lone junco
#

@nimble tartan same. Shoulda just gone warlock back in 2017 like @zealous dew said.

opaque grotto
#

WtF SS SUCKS NOW?

nimble tartan
#

im figuring out what ranged is gonna be fotm

#

because playing rogue still is wrong imo

opaque grotto
#

Fire mage

#

Donit

lone junco

opaque grotto
#

Do it

#

#

no we have one good spec

wait...

inner pulsar
#

Elemental Shaman

lone junco
#

Rogue doesn't even get battlerez.

inner pulsar
#

JK HAHA

nimble tartan
#

imagine playing scuffed dh

lone junco
#

Shame

nimble tartan
#

why do i hate myself

#

i could be playing REAL DH

inner pulsar
#

Triage Rogue will have Battle Rez

nimble tartan
#

with SMOKE BOMB

#

with a raid debuff that UTILITY

opaque grotto
#

Honestly just take a monk for the debuff and run like 14 BM hunters

inner pulsar
#

It will be called "Get the eff up"

opaque grotto
#

And a warrior for the attack power

inner pulsar
#

But it will be a melee range brez, where you kick the downed player

nimble tartan
#

i wonder if the next raid gonna have no use for rogues utility like this tier

cerulean walrus
#

Rogue Brez will be "Shoulda Feinted Bruh"

inner pulsar
#

How about "Do u even Cloak?"

opaque grotto
#

Cheat death is just worthless

cerulean walrus
#

"Evasion Dude?"

inner pulsar
#

Alright, lets not get get carried away, Cheat Death is not worthless

nimble tartan
#

its p shit

#

like it was good on what like m kj prog to eat a big annihilation without dying with feint

cerulean walrus
#

Cheat death has saved my ass many a time when I tunnel vision to be fair

nimble tartan
#

but now its like just something to saveur ass

inner pulsar
#

yeah, exactly, which I bet it does more than once a raid for most folks

opaque grotto
#

I’ve died through cheat death so many times

inner pulsar
#

That doesnt make it worthless.

opaque grotto
#

Yea bruh it doesn’t even save you half the time

nimble tartan
#

im just comparing whats even good about being a rogue in uldir

opaque grotto
#

Elusiveness is too good though

nimble tartan
#

to me a rogue is just another good dps class, but if you were to be optimal and in an optimal raid comp you'd just have no rogues

opaque grotto
#

Sub has useful niches though like on Zul though

nimble tartan
#

well ye

opaque grotto
#

But I’ll be playing my mage on prog more than my rogue I think

nimble tartan
#

sub is just needed on that fight to make it a 3 minute encounter

earnest rampart
#

w +

nimble tartan
#

otherwise it becomes a real fight

inner pulsar
#

That arguement could be made about nearlly all melee, beyond bringing 1 of a few classes

opaque grotto
#

Also my guild is like 50% melee so it’s some serious cancer sometimes

nimble tartan
#

yeah alot of melee this is true im saying rogue doesnt provide anything useful other than damage

#

not special

#

no good execute

#

no raid debuff

opaque grotto
#

Blindside is DOPE bruh what are you smoking YO

nimble tartan
#

haha

opaque grotto
#

Ez execute

silver egret
#

blindside belongs in r/therewasanattempt

cerulean walrus
#

Blindside gives you Execute OUTSIDE of Execute phase

#

OP OP BLIZZ PLEASE NERF

opaque grotto
#

Didn’t assa have a legendary that gave you execute dmg?

nimble tartan
#

when is blindisde even gonna be good ever

opaque grotto
#

Idk I didn’t play rogue last xpacw

cerulean walrus
#

Training Shackles

#

They were busted my man

gray schooner
#

yeah melee suck in Uldir

opaque grotto
#

Make that a talent

nimble tartan
#

we are just gonna go back to using master poisoner

opaque grotto
#

Easy game

cerulean walrus
#

Just bring back legion sin rogue

#

I still have Kingsbane on my action bar to pay homage

silver egret
#

melee doing a lot of dmg doesnt make them great for uldir lol

nimble tartan
#

silver im not talking about damage, i already said melee do good damage obviously, but people are min maxing and only bringing 3-4 melee on the actualhard bosses in uldir

#

and guess what those few slots are hard locked with dh/monk/war

inner pulsar
#

@nimble tartan Alright, I can get behind that statement

gray schooner
#

people always ranged>melee for the most part. until the kills are smooth. the dps>all. always been the pattern

vale flume
#

Survivoral hunter over BM there? Outlaw over sub and sin?

inner pulsar
#

You can throw frost DK in there too, all I ever see people recruiting for these days are Frost DK and Lock

nimble tartan
#

im just saying that rogues usual mainstay of usefulness to raids when it came to cheesing mechanics and whatnot is gone already

safe relic
#

yo

#

why my azerite chest sims better with SS than with archinve of titans ? :/

south geode
#

How well does the darkmoon deck of fathoms work with assassination?

nimble tartan
#

literally if rouges damage starts suckin and the next raid is just like this rogues gonna get feral treatment is all im sayin

cerulean walrus
#

Extremely @south geode

safe relic
#

@south geode fathoms is kinda RNG...

#

but still bis on this tier..

south geode
#

ah alright!

gray schooner
#

we still have a great kit imo to other melee. but i see what youre saying compared to past raids. as long as other classes cant do it. im good lol

#

fathoms doesnt sim correct. its more like 3-5% of your total damage. which is crazy

safe relic
inner pulsar
#

I guess we are saying the same thing, I attribute the problem to not wanting to bring melee at all, you are saying that because there are so few melee spots, rogue is on the outside.

safe relic
#

btw anyone knows why my SS sims better than archive of the titans ?

inner pulsar
#

Is the ivl the same on the two pieces?

safe relic
#

is the same piece..

#

355 ilvl chest

nimble tartan
#

do u have another uldir trait on another piece

inner pulsar
#

Show me the sim

inner pulsar
#

There you go, because you have LM on another piece

#

Already

safe relic
#

yes

inner pulsar
#

Ok, well that is the answer

safe relic
#

ah

inner pulsar
#

Credit to @nimble tartan for getting there first

safe relic
#

well then should i change it ? or ?

#

ignore the sim ?

inner pulsar
#

No

#

Why would you say such blashphemy

safe relic
#

😛

inner pulsar
#

No, there is no reason to ignore the sim

safe relic
#

but the titans buff is good

subtle imp
#

SS is really good for dungeons too

inner pulsar
#

Particulary since you are already running 1xSS, so it won't require a change in rotation or talents

safe relic
#

yes

inner pulsar
#

Ok, your name is clearly inaccurate, because you have had enough meth, it is rotting your brain

safe relic
#

i know it is for dungeons but im running raids more..

inner pulsar
#

SS is mathematically superior to Archive for you and your gear

jaunty dagger
#

SS sims better because it is better

sturdy flume
#

Quick Question: M Zek'Voz, to burst boss down with orb and BL in P2, Exsanguinate probably > TB, right?

jaunty dagger
#

what's even the question here

inner pulsar
#

Is the buff good, yes, but SS is better, for you

safe relic
#

😄

#

inner pulsar
#

@sturdy flume Yes, if the question is "In a vacuum, is Exasang better for burst than TB", but there are a lot of variables there

safe relic
#

depends the haste u have ii think ? 😮

inner pulsar
#

And the traits you have

safe relic
#

y

sturdy flume
#

i was especially thinking about the 30 sec window, so 2x TB vs 1x Exsanguinate, but you're probably right. I'm running around with gearsets for both, usually tb is like 1-200 dps ahead

inner pulsar
#

I mean, in reality, if you the question is "What is best for bursting down adds" the answer is "Not Sin"

safe relic
#

😄

#

heed > overwhelming eh?

sturdy flume
#

welp, also true 😄

safe relic
#

btw @inner pulsar in my opening rotation after the typical Gar/rap/Gar im going on for vendetta rap exsa u think is good or im wasting my vendetta ?

#

forgot 1 mutilate after vendetta !

inner pulsar
#

What you posted is correct

#

Vendetta right after you come off of Subterfuge, then Mutilate into a full 5CP Rupture, then Exsang

safe relic
#

i leave the bleeds to full expire right ?

#

then vanish etc etvc

inner pulsar
#

Correct

safe relic
#

good

inner pulsar
#

You would not want to overwrite a buffed Garrote or Rupture

safe relic
#

ye

hollow cave
#

I feel like DH has more mobility and burst than I do, am I doing something wrong?

daring imp
#

what the fuck is wrong with tanks and chain pulling

#

oh my fucking god

safe relic
#

meh TB sims more than exsang to me now 😛

inner pulsar
#

@hollow cave No, that is how the class is designed

hollow cave
#

@daring imp don't have to care about performance when you live on instaqueues headtap

inner pulsar
#

Thats like saying "I think BM Hunters have more pets than I do"

daring imp
#

we missed a +12 timer for like 10s

hollow cave
#

Do I just ignore DH, lol

inner pulsar
#

Yes

hollow cave
#

Gotcha

inner pulsar
#

Or reroll

hollow cave
#

Also that was a dumb example

#

Lol

daring imp
#

and the motherfucker dared to blame me when i clearly said THE ENTIRE FUCKING DUNGEON to not chainpull and he did anyway

#

fml

inner pulsar
#

It was a dumb question, thought it was fitting

hollow cave
#

Mhmm

#

Sure

daring imp
#

on 3 or 4 trash packs on an entire atal dazar i had the ss bonus

#

EVERYTHING ELSE NOTHING

inner pulsar
#

Ok, I could have used "I feel like warrior execute is better than blindside, am I doing something wrong?" and it would have been functionally the same

hollow cave
#

I asked about mobility and burst

#

Something that is universal

inner pulsar
#

Yeah, that is the DH wheelhouse

hollow cave
#

Okay

#

lol

#

Man, I might as well of asked why Junkrat has more AoE to my rogue

#

That's totally a comparable example

#

lol

daring imp
#

almost all dh skills do aoe/cleave dmg

amber arrow
#

does anyone know how much haste is required for an extra tick of garrote

daring imp
#

specially that stupid fel barrage

#

such a good talent @_@"

blazing mortar
#

@inner pulsar I've played my alt rogue as sub since leveling. Interested in Assassination. Is there a better one for m+ in your opinion or should I sim my gear and decide based on that?

lofty sand
#

Its literally their thing, DH are aoe burst and good mobility

#

of course they are going to be better than you

daring imp
#

2/(1+haste/100) = tick rate, 18/tick rate = numbah of ticks, enjoy math @amber arrow

hollow cave
#

Excuse me for not playing Legion I guess

#

lol

amber arrow
#

haste rating or % @daring imp

daring imp
#

%

inner pulsar
#

@blazing mortar I think the general consensus is that Assassin will do well oh higher m+ difficulties because the mobs live long enough for dots to work. In lower difficulties, Outlaw outshines both other specs in my opinion

#

I would say @daring imp probably does more M+ than I do, I don't know if he has anything to add

primal gazelle
#

sin>outlaw>sub in popularity in m+ according to raiderio

lofty sand
#

Literally just aswering your question mate.

daring imp
#

i played with a few decent outlaws on a few 9's and 10's, but pugging usually has either me or a frost mage/dh on top overall dmg

#

don't get me wrong, depends on the size of the pull, i have a stupid hard time beating any dh on trash packs over 4~5 mobs

hollow cave
#

That's fine, I'm just talking about the guy being an asshat about it

blazing mortar
#

@daring imp @inner pulsar cool. Thank you.

hollow cave
#

lol

daring imp
#

if they live too long, i overtake him, if out group bursts too fast, i just can't catch up

hollow stone
#

The nice thing about outlaw is that you are consistent on trash. Sin is too unless your tank is a dick @daring imp

daring imp
#

@hollow stone YES

#

FUCK DK TANKS

#

THOSE STUPID HURRY-ASSING TANKS DON'T LET ME RESTEALTH EVER

#

I LITERALLY GET ATLEAST 2~3K MORE OVERALL DMG BY RESTEALTHING AND THEY DON'T CARE ANYWAY

hollow stone
#

They are the worst

visual token
#

Tfw waiting actually increases speed

hollow stone
#

So are the tanks that are like "i know, i play with rogues" and then do it anyway....

daring imp
#

to be fair i think those two quel'thalas and ragnaros tanks didn't know english

#

or they did and just ignored the heck out of me

hollow stone
#

I cant comment on that without sounding racey... no comment

daring imp
#

i mean they didn't talk for the entire dungeon

#

i whispered

#

spammed

#

everything

#

not one response back

#

even when we ended the key they were mute

#

unless they were already ignored and i didn't bother to check tho ...

weak socket
#

@amber arrow I know your question is from earlier, about haste. But they made it so that there are partial ticks in the game, so that there wouldn't be haste breakpoints anymore for dot classes to receive extra ticks... whatever you have left over will be your tick damage... To make that clear, if your dot ticks every 3 seconds, and you have 2 seconds remaining on the dot since it last ticked, when it falls off it will tick for 2/3rds of the normal damage.

hidden oasis
#

boys should i use 1 archive and 1 SS or 2 SS in uldir

daring imp
#

are your SS's high ilvl

hidden oasis
#

well

#

nope

#

1 is 340

#

the other one has

#

archive and SS

#

3rd one is pretty high but shit azerite

daring imp
#

avoid 340's SS like the plague for raiding if possible

#

unless a high piece

#

i say that and i actually came back to 1x ss on raiding because of pvp 355 chest lul

amber arrow
#

ty @weak socket

inner pulsar
#

I'm still running 2 340s, and one of them is Tidal Surge.....

weak socket
#

Np man. I only just learned about it's existence today when researching a different class for a guildy.

nova nest
#

is the meta 2x archive 1x(something else) for raiding

#

just looking at hero damage default filter

daring imp
#

archive/2 double dose if comparing all same ilvl pieces

#

but

ebon prism
#

Do I mut for cp on 2 targets or shuriken storm (or whatever it's called for sin)? If I have combo pnts on pull for M+ trash, do I prioritize rupture on all targets first or use tempest?

daring imp
#

good luck getting those two double dose at high ilvl lol

#

@ebon prism Fan of Knives on 3 targets or more

weak socket
#

@ebon prism apl uses FoK's at 2+ targets but in reality it basically doesn't matter. Very marginal difference at 2 targets

ebon prism
#

So little diff between mut and fok for 2 targets?

weak socket
#

For 2 target yes.

#

3+ is FoK

ebon prism
#

Ty!

nova nest
#

well right now im 355 archive and 2x SS still

#

so :L

weak socket
#

Also idk about your combo points question. Do you mean instead of getting an extra SS garrote off, instead using CP on CT or rupture?

#

And then using CP from the other 2 SS garrotes

#

?

inner pulsar
#

Yeah, I wish folks would worry less about the current BiS traits, based on the fact that they are incredibly hard to target to get, and if you look at the actual rankings, plenty of people doing well with all kinds of trait make ups

weak socket
#

I just wish they'd sim the situation instead of asking because I can't tell them what will be better with just the information of two different traits...

daring imp
#

@weak socket i don't get it @_@"

#

i know for sure that now that i have the 355 SS chest, the normal fetid will drop his chest to me

#

not the heroic tho

inner pulsar
#

Haha

weak socket
#

Hey. I got the normal fetid chest this week!

#

Got myself 10 Sanguicwhatevers off H Fetid last night

stable rover
#

even with fetid chest 370 raidbot tells me to go Archive and Master Assassin/TB

inner pulsar
#

Well it is just kind of funny "Hey guys, is 1x Archive + 2xSS best?"
"Yeah"
"Ok, well I have Battlefield Precision, Tidal Surge, and Posioned Wire, but I was just wondering"

weak socket
#

LOL

daring imp
#

@stable rover do you have any other uldir traits on any other piece aside from chest?

stable rover
#

355 laser head and 355 archive spaulders

daring imp
#

and it still tells you to pick archive on the 370 chest?

stable rover
#

y

daring imp
#

rip SS lul

zealous dew
#

@lone junco I even did a better thing than playing lock, I just stopped playing 😃

hidden oasis
#

i got a 340 SS and 370 Chest that has SS and Archive

#

i guess in uldir archive is better

#

my shoulders are 385 but they have shit trait

inner pulsar
#

@stable rover Can you show us the sim?

weak socket
#

I thought you could only get Reorig array from 1 piece, and that when you simmed multiple pieces each piece added it, which is a fault in the sims. Am I sick in the head?

lone junco
#

@zealous dew winner winner chicken dinner.

zealous dew
#

😄

inner pulsar
#

@weak socket I hadn't heard that the sim was doing that

zealous dew
#

Vegas style

daring imp
#

@weak socket well you get the array from 1 piece only, the subsequent uldir ones do not increase array stacks

#

hence why i asked if he had another uldir pieces to activate array and put other slightly better traits instead

clever raven
#

No but archive after the buff actually stacks pretty well

lone junco
#

@zealous dew I have 1.6M$ worth of contract between now and June. I should prob do the same.

zealous dew
#

best decision ever

delicate gull
#

when would you guys say MA + TB is better than EXSG and Subterfuge?

inner pulsar
#

@delicate gull When it sims higher

daring imp
#

depends on traits, stats, trinkets

weak socket
#

When it sims >0.5% better

daring imp
#

thousands of parameters

delicate gull
#

besides if it sims higher, cuz thats not how this works in this raid

inner pulsar
#

@delicate gull Definitely how it works

delicate gull
#

like would subterfuge be basically better in any situation with adds or am i thinking of it differently

daring imp
#

why not on increased damage taken by boss phases too

clever raven
#

I ended up dropping all my SS traits for Tidal Surge and going TB/MA after the SS nerf it’s been performing better for me

sand whale
#

it's better with ss, but yeah probs not with subterfuge with no ss traits

daring imp
#

sorry, i assumed you'd only pick subterfuge with ss's X_X"

delicate gull
#

yeah same, i have 1 with subterfuge, or i can go double archive + twist and MA+TB for 70dps? idk

inner pulsar
#

Well, it is possible for Subt to be higher without SS, mine is close

sand whale
#

ya no point then

#

coz anything with even 1 add alive for a garrote = win

daring imp
#

but MA is so cool :X

inner pulsar
#

@stable rover Why are you simming with no buffs?

clever raven
#

The double archive is going to outperform with more targets, you’re getting that much more agility to buff all of your abilities rather than having an empowered garrote multiple targets

delicate gull
#

good point

stable rover
hollow stone
#

Double archive is suboptimal in bis gear but may be your bis depending on what youve got

delicate gull
#

haste still your guys best stats for those using MA+TB?

hollow stone
#

We're talking st raid

daring imp
#

@clever raven not sure i get what you meant

hollow stone
#

H c m for me when running ma tb

#

But the values were pretty close overall

#

So ilvl; for the most part. Gotta sim yourself to be sure tho

daring imp
#

will 240ish agi make up for the bonus dmg on garrote?

hollow stone
#

Everyone's weights are different, just like irl

clever raven
#

Probably considering the fact that the agi is going to buff literally everything in your kit

hollow stone
#

In feelycraft, it did not @daring imp

#

My 355 ss > 370 2nd archive in m+

daring imp
#

i know, letterz, but SS was broken on multi target, and is still king for a reason @_@"

#

that's what i meant

inner pulsar
#

@stable rover Gotta say, that is an interesting outcome. The agi gain from archive just edges out SS at that ilvl I guess

daring imp
#

that's assuming you get a decent window to take advantage of ss's garrote spreading on other targets

lone junco
#

Are the m+ numbers up on herodamage?

clever raven
#

And depending on how long the stuff is actually alive for Archive to reach max stacks

inner pulsar
#

@daring imp Well, in his case @stable rover 's gear says 240 agi from Archive does indeed outweigh 1 SS trait

daring imp
#

@inner pulsar oh sorry what i meant was for @clever raven haha

#

@clever raven you're talking m+ or raiding?

clever raven
#

Raid

inner pulsar
#

@daring imp I know, but your question was poignant, because that is exactly what was showing in @stable rover 's sim

clever raven
#

Thought that’s what we were talking about anyway

daring imp
#

yeah i was a bit unsure when you said how long stuff is alive

clever raven
#

Cus someone mentioned M+

daring imp
#

well as long as you are 100s in combat you'll be full stacks on archive for the entire fight, no?

hollow stone
#

In raid, archive should outperform ss

daring imp
#

^

clever raven
#

Yes

daring imp
#

i might be a shitty case then, the only piece i've ever gotten from uldir was mythrax head with shitty laser

inner pulsar
#

@daring imp Same

daring imp
#

and this laser has fucked up so many m+ of mine already

clever raven
#

I’m currently rocking a laser matrix

delicate gull
#

i gave away the ghuun chest, maybe mistake

daring imp
#

accidentally forgetting to switch fuck my life do i agro mobs so far away without any reason at all

inner pulsar
#

The Zul shoulders are where its at yo

clever raven
#

Ya those are still hiding from me

inner pulsar
#

He and Mother eat all my coins....

clever raven
#

Yup

inner pulsar
#

It is nice that the shoulders and a wep drop from him, or nice in theory I guess

vestal abyss
#

You ALWAYS want to cast TB as soon as it comes off cd right? Only delay when Vendetta is about to come off cd

clever raven
#

Line up with vendetta but you don’t want to hold it for too long

stable rover
#

maybe pooling some energy before casting it?

#

for TB

clever raven
#

Pool energy before it comes off CD and fit as many envenom into it as possible

stable rover
#

y

clever raven
#

Cus envenom is bugged by TB

vestal abyss
#

Yeah so if you have no energy when it comes up you planned it wrong

clever raven
#

Buffed*

#

Sorry on phone and auto correct wanted to type bugged for some reason

inner pulsar
#

@vestal abyss Right

clever raven
#

The energy pooling isn’t as big a deal when you’re going to sync it with vendetta

vestal abyss
#

Yeah but TB is 25 sec cd so youll use it without vendetta 5 times

#

is it 25 sec cd?

#

i honestly dont know

clever raven
#

Yes

daring imp
#

ye 25

#

be a madman and use tb every 30s so it syncs with everything lul

vestal abyss
#

i wonder if thats worth it

daring imp
#

no idea

clever raven
#

No

#

Cus that means over the course of an average raid fight you’re going to lose 1 usage of it

vestal abyss
#

True

clever raven
#

Never hold something to the point that you miss a usage

brisk flicker
#

So many yellow and cyan colored names around these parts

inner pulsar
#

It wont change mine

vestal abyss
#

Does that mean anything?

clever raven
#

I play all the specs

brisk flicker
#

LOL I’m jk. I changed to red yesterday from yellow. Feels good

daring imp
#

i only play sin now but red is ugly 🐢

lone junco
#

I was red, when it was totally not cool

brisk flicker
#

Your icon is the epitome of assassination bleeds

vestal abyss
#

I like yellow

primal gazelle
#

i didnt even know color were assigned to specs lmao

daring imp
#

i still remember the good ol' week 1 and week 2 days agroing a thousand trash with boss as sub on m0 for the st dmg

brisk flicker
#

Cyan - Subtlety
Red - Assassination
Yellow - Outlaw
@primal gazelle

clever raven
#

Was all practice for Zul

daring imp
#

ayyy

vestal abyss
#

Is it possible to completely avoid having to refresh bleeds during TB?

brisk flicker
#

You can change them by going to the botspam room and typing ? followed by your spec choice

inner pulsar
#

@vestal abyss Barely

clever raven
#

You can refresh early to avoid that

vestal abyss
#

Should i want to?

daring imp
#

do it like 5s early and build cps in that 5s window

#

and pray for 4cp mut

inner pulsar
#

Yes, because your bleeds don't benefit from TB

vestal abyss
#

hmmm

#

Should I want to refresh bleeds before the pandemic window kicks in to avoid having to refresh them during TB

clever raven
#

Cus if you’re playing TB you’re likely not using SS traits so refreshing garrote early isn’t a huge deal

inner pulsar
#

Well, you would still need to Garrote

daring imp
#

tho you can also time it to have tb buffed by ep

inner pulsar
#

But a fully pandemic Rupture is what, 32 seconds?

lone junco
#

@daring imp gonna do my last 2 timewalks tonight. and bask in the glory of the SS Soul Capacitor

vestal abyss
#

oh fuck

#

i stil have to do 4 TW dungeons

#

fuck

brisk flicker
#

Same

lone junco
#

daring imp
#

oy i remember that trinket

lone junco
#

sephuz. 4p20. ss. soul cap.

daring imp
#

oh fuck

lone junco
#

super lols

#

it starts
------------------ me.

clever raven
#

Refreshing rupture early and losing seconds on the pandemic versus not doing that and losing seconds of bleeds ticking cus they fell off during your TB window

lone junco
#

ends

#

inner pulsar
#

Real talk though, when are they going to start selling Void elf unlock in the ingame shop, cause this AR rep grind is lame

daring imp
#

melee attacks counting dots and stuff? or only directly melee stuff?

vestal abyss
#

Yeah so far ive just been refreshing rupture during TB window

#

i think i found something to improve upon

#

sweet

lone junco
#

try critting more during MA

daring imp
#

@inner pulsar i hope they remove the requirements in a few years lul

#

i'd racechange 😦

#

they losin' big monies

daring imp
#

i agree, i hate farming rep

inner pulsar
#

I'd give them $40 right now

spiral snow
#

off topic: can you cloak omega vector damage on Vectis?

daring imp
#

ever since i stopped with bdo i hate stupid grind like that

inner pulsar
#

No, but you can cloak to avoid the dot at the end

daring imp
#

i think cloaking omega vector makes you not take the damage but you still have the debuff tho, no?

inner pulsar
vestal abyss
#

Im gonna formulate my intuition behind the rotation

prime stirrup
#

cant get rid of stacks in vectis

daring imp
#

yea stacks will get you with or without cloak

prime stirrup
#

cloak only prevents the dot applied by omega vector

daring imp
#

wait it bounces off when you cloak?

prime stirrup
#

which is very useful

#

no, but lets say you get targeted for omega vector

daring imp
#

oh

vestal abyss
#

Okay so a full pandemic windowed rupture is 31.4 seconds yes?

prime stirrup
#

if you cloak before it hits you it will stop the application of the DoT so you dont get assraped from the dmg. it will not prevent omega vector from going off, or it applying the stack

vestal abyss
#

TB is 25 seconds, the buff is 6, which is 31 seconds

daring imp
#

w8 what

#

what buff

lone junco
#

pandemic depends on the first aplication

spiral snow
#

if you cloak to avoid the dot at the end, does it drop to another person or just disappear on you?

clever raven
#

Cloak prevents omega vector from damaging you while it’s on you it prevents the stack at the end

vestal abyss
#

Im gonna wait with my thoughts till the who vectis discussion is over

clever raven
#

And it still jumps

spiral snow
#

ah, I see, tyvm

prime stirrup
#

omega vector always will spread aint shit to do about it. your group should have a strat in place to even out distribution

clever raven
daring imp
#

ohhh

inner pulsar
#

Yeah

daring imp
#

that i didn't know

#

i was in a group with 3 tanks

vestal abyss
#

Okay about this rupture thing

daring imp
#

2 of them cycled between taunting boss off when debuff on the guy w/o debuff was with boss' debuff

#

easiest run of vectis in my life

inner pulsar
#

@vestal abyss I can almost guarantee you are overthinking this at this point, but go ahead

daring imp
#

31.2s jitz

#

24s + 7.2s

#

i don't understand what "tb buff is 6s" thing is

inner pulsar
#

WIth 5CP, 4 CP is 5 sec

daring imp
#

neither what the 31s means

vestal abyss
#

Oh its 9 seconds

daring imp
#

well anyway the cd is 25s regardless of the buff duration

vestal abyss
#

I am definitely overthinking this but:
TB is 25 seconds
4 cp pandemic rupture is 26 seconds

sullen pagoda
#

😦

daring imp
#

nice

sullen pagoda
#

o wait this is boss dmg

#

parse is just 27

daring imp
#

llul

sullen pagoda
#

w.e bad

#

:/

vestal abyss
#

So if you apply rupture at 4 cp every time you never have to refresh rupture during TB

inner pulsar
#

Negative

#

Because you have to build the CP after the rupture

daring imp
#

jitz, given you NEVER delay the delay itself between rupture/tb and never delay tb, maybe

#

but good luck getting 4 cps everytime

inner pulsar
#

So the best case scenario would be 5CP Rupture, then a lucky 4CP Mutilate > TB >Envenom

vestal abyss
#

the thing is that if the duration is the same you dont have to refresh it just before TB

#

you can refresh it at any time

daring imp
#

or just bank 4+ cps and energy to refresh rup before popping tb

inner pulsar
#

Exactly

daring imp
#

so tb>mut>env would be with ep

inner pulsar
#

Which is what you would want to do each time

daring imp
#

don't forget garrote tho

#

tb/mut/env is 115 energy

vestal abyss
#

Yeah okay so if I do that, do I refresh rupture before TB regardless of the remaining duration?

daring imp
#

i would not if you want to do this kind of minmax

clever raven
#

I’d only refresh it IF it’s gonna fall off during the TB window

daring imp
#

if your rupture has like 12s left or so just do the tb combo

vestal abyss
#

Yeah so if rupture is <11

clever raven
#

Sure

#

Say 12 to be safe

vestal abyss
#

right because you still have to build the cp after TB window to refresh rupture

#

so maybe even 13

daring imp
#

12s would give you an energy bank of approximately ~200 energy

#

if you have energy beforehand to pop stuff it would be more

vestal abyss
#

Which you attempt to empty out during your TB window right

daring imp
#

yeah

#

tho you don't want to have even 1s w/o rupture

#

so check the last envenom before popping it

clever raven
#

But honestly I don’t think this far into it when I’m playing, I function off my reptilian brain and have mad reflexes

daring imp
#

ok maybe i exagerated, just try to not let rupture fall

#

yea me neither

vestal abyss
#

I think its good to have into the back of your mind

inner pulsar
#

Pretty much, you gotta fuck up real bad to not get 2 in there

vestal abyss
#

Yeah but you gotta do real good to get 3 in there if youre lucky

daring imp
#

probably only doable if with vendetta popped within tb or lust

#

doing 3 i mean

#

or mut 4cp in a row for the lulz

inner pulsar
#

Ha, I was told I'm a failboat for not getting 3 in there, "its ez bro"

daring imp
#

it's too rare to get 4cp

#

and probably doing 3cp isn't worth the cost inside tb

#

so you spend atleast 140ish energy per envenom

inner pulsar
#

So yeah, if the best case requires some luck, and the worst case is hard to find yourself in (just 1 envenom in TB), I go back to my "you're overthinking it"

daring imp
#

the 1st one you can cast when you pop tb if you had cps in bank beforehand

inner pulsar
#

But I get wanting tho think it out

daring imp
#

the other two only with some sick energy regen

vestal abyss
#

Well yeah, but before this conversation i just refreshed rupture during TB window and getting only 1 in so its nice to think it fully through and know what to do

clever raven
#

I fit 3 by having 4 CP banked TB into Envenom

daring imp
#

all the time tho?

clever raven
#

Yes

daring imp
#

also not delaying tb?

clever raven
#

Yes

#

It’s just prep time

inner pulsar
#

I do find myself wasting the CP generated by TB, because I find myself with 5 CP and <4 seconds left on TB cooldown, so I just pool into the TB so as not to delay

daring imp
#

it's much more than "just prep time" @_@

tropic heron
#

hey guys im trialing for a new guild and they want to see at least 1 orange parse during my trial period

#

any tips to cheese out a good looking parse?

daring imp
#

ignore adds focus boss

inner pulsar
#

@tropic heron Look for a new guild?

tropic heron
#

thats what im doing

#

im trialing for one

daring imp
#

only switch for adds if they're on top of the boss

vestal abyss
#

ignore mechanics

tropic heron
#

which boss would be easiest to cheese on with assassination?

daring imp
#

if they scream at you say you dc'ed from discord or something

vestal abyss
#

feint it and clos it

strange python
#

mother

inner pulsar
#

No no, they are encouraging bad play, you should find a new guild to trial

strange python
#

be in the last group

inner pulsar
#

Because thats a dumb ass request in my opinion

strange python
#

vectis is great for logs too

sullen pagoda
#

@tropic heron ghuun hc is pretty easy orange or it must be a mythic boss?

daring imp
#

ghuun hc not that easy to orange overall

inner pulsar
#

@tropic heron Whats your ilvl?

daring imp
#

if your group kills stuff to fast you're rekt

#

if they kill too slow you also rekt

sullen pagoda
#

feelsbadman

daring imp
#

lul

#

that on mythic? 😮

clever tartan
#

Normal

sullen pagoda
#

yeah

daring imp
#

dayum

#

nice

inner pulsar

Lawl

vestal abyss
#

subtlety

sullen pagoda
#

i play whatever

#

except outlaw

#

🤢

inner pulsar
#

@sullen pagoda Whatever except Outlaw is just Sub and Sin, and why would you play Sub on Taloc?

clever raven
#

When mythic first dropped sub was better

sullen pagoda
#

my sub is pretty decent on taloc when i dont die on laser cuz im 50 iq

daring imp
#

lul

clever raven
#

Cus blade in the shadows hadn’t been buried yet

inner pulsar
#

@subtle kiln Because it isn't as good as Sin?

sullen pagoda
#

only boss that i did by now where i would prefer heavily assassination is vectis

#

but we needed add dmg so i went sub and demolished adds
