I always got 2 without pooling

frosty gyro
#

9 sec = ~173 energy regened at 20% haste

#

Last I checked 173 energy isn't enough for mut mut envenom mut mut envenom

strange python
#

No1 even mentioned haste yet buddy

#

Shouldn't you already be at 23-24%

frosty gyro
#

I did because it's relevant to energy regen?

strange python
#

in uldir

frosty gyro
#

In uldir I guess sure

#

Not getting close the the 270 energy you need though if you're unlucky

#

You need to pool at least like 100 energy as a safety net

#

And if you're actually trying to play optimally you need to pool CP beforehand in addition to energy

#

To go for 3 envenoms

#

Much more annoying to do compared to exsang

#

Oh and if you go for the 3 envenoms you need even more energy pooled

keen hound
#

are your energy numbers taking into account vendetta's energy generation and the energy from your bleeds?

frosty gyro
#

Vendetta is only in your opener

#

And yeah venemous wounds is in there

#

But you should be trying to 3 evenom in TB as often as yu can

keen hound
#

which again, is not that hard to pool a little bit of energy

strange python
#

in those 9 seconds window, ur bleeds should tick around 4 times

frosty gyro
#

You have to pool CP and a large amount of energy while making sure rupture has at least like 15 seconds left on it when you hit TB and you hit TB on GCD when it comes off CD

strange python
#

8*7 = 56

#

So you're getting 56 more energy than u wrote

frosty gyro
#

Wow it's like 13x9 + 56 = 173

#

Which is exactly what I wrote

#

That's a strange coincidence

strange python
#

well maybe u should've said that 🤷

#

You just said that 20% haste is 173 energy within 9 seconds

frosty gyro
#

Which it is

keen hound
#

pooling energy and keeping track of dots is normal gameplay for sin

frosty gyro
#

Yeah but TB is way more work than exsang

#

That was my point

#

You just jumped into this with no context

carmine valve
#

TB hard to play?

keen hound
#

Using a dmg buff on cd is not more work lol

frosty gyro
#

I didn't say it's hard to play just harder than exsang easier to lose dps with

#

And you don't just use it on Cd already pointed that out

strange python
#

APL doesn't pool energy

#

🤔

keen hound
#

If you mess up your exsang window, your dps is trashed.

#

you should be using tb on cd

#

yes

carmine valve
#

TB on cool down, really?

Yes, on cool down
frosty gyro
#

How do you even mess up your exsang window I already asked that and no one answered

carmine valve
#

from ravenhold

strange python
#

Yeah I dont think pooling for tb is worth

#

🤷

frosty gyro
#

You use it on CD but you have to pool energy and CP beforehand and make sure rupture doesn't need to be refreshed during it

#

Well I mean

#

Maybe you should look at logs

strange python
#

im looking at the apl

frosty gyro
#

How do you think the high parsing TB players get 3 envenoms in tb

summer tapir
#

setting up every window properly

frosty gyro
#

Because we all know apls are perfect and sims are an exact representation of how you actually optimally play

summer tapir
#

which I fail at miserably 😦

carmine valve
#

Setting up 3 envenom is TB is harder than setting up Exang ?

frosty gyro
#

Yeah actually

strange python
#

Yeah APL is pretty reliable I'd say

frosty gyro
#

Has way more stuff to keep track of

languid ore
#

Damn why do we even listen to top rogues and theorycrafters when we've got kirvin here

summer tapir
#

on a target dummy, no. in actual fights, yeah it can be

languid ore
#

The hell was I thinking

frosty gyro
#

@languid ore got something from these top rogues talking about this?

#

I'm pointing to 100th percentile logs

strange python
#

when do you guys refresh your rupture and normal garrotes?

frosty gyro
#

Where they do what I'm saying

languid ore
#

You're right. The people that ran the numbers are wrong

strange python
#

also at what combo point for rupture?

languid ore
#

And you're right

frosty gyro
#

100th percentile logs buddy

#

No clue what you're basing your stuff on

strange python
#

100th percentile on what

carmine valve
#

Ive tried both spec, still feel like your getting punished by wasting exang than tb

frosty gyro
#

couple mythic bosses

keen hound
#

That's b/c you are. @carmine valve

frosty gyro
#

fetid and taloc and mythrax mainly

#

Again

#

4th time asking this with no answer

#

How do you mess up and waste exsang

#

You literally just see it's coming off CD soon refresh dots and hit it on CD

#

There's no pooling or anything involved it's just hit it on CD and make sure your dots are up and refreshing dots is something you already do passively

keen hound
#

If you don't liine everything up, optimize your dots befoer exsang, or use it at the wrong time in teh fights. Unlike TB, exsang isn't necessarily on cd. You have to know the fights and the timing of the fights b/c you are only getting a limited number of them so you have to know ahead of time when the best time to use it, judge b ased on the hp of the boss whether it's worth holding for a certain point or using, whether eyou will get another one in later or not.

frosty gyro
#

What do you hold it for?

#

You literally just use it on CD

carmine valve
#

galecaller trinket I do

#

for the haste

frosty gyro
#

Stop doing that

keen hound
#

no i didn't say use it on cd

frosty gyro
#

You guys are the ones talking about sims

#

Sims don't hold it for GCB

languid ore
#

Lol

frosty gyro
#

You use it on CD and hold vanish/vendetta for exsang

#

The only time you would hold it is if you knew the fight would end between vanish coming off cd and exsang coming off CD

keen hound
#

actually, yeah you can hold off for gc

#

b/c the way the timers line up

frosty gyro
#

Sims don't do that and no one I've seen does that

keen hound
#

you aren't getting another one in between teh gc cd, exsang cd, and vanish/vendetta cd

carmine valve
#

yah

keen hound
#

whether you wait the 10 seconds for GC or not, you aren't getting another one in before vanish/vendetta

#

and then you hold off for that nayways

frosty gyro
#

Are you reading anything I say?

#

You don't hold off for vanish/vendetta

#

You use Exsang on CD and hold vanish/vendetta for exsang

keen hound
#

Again, it comes down to fight length which you have to be aware of beforehand

frosty gyro
#

Plus even if you did hold exsang for galecaller it wouldn't change anything

carmine valve
#

You should stick to Toxic blade, im sure you will do good there fitting 3 envenoms in the tb uptime

keen hound
#

you are punished far greater for suboptimal use of exsang than you are for slightly suboptimal use of tb

frosty gyro
#

You would just look at galecaller CD and pop exsang with galecaller

#

Still way easier than TB

#

But it's way harder to use exsang suboptimally in the first place

keen hound
#

exsang is far more reliant upon the burst. mess it up and you are screwed.

frosty gyro
#

I can't think of like a single time I've messed up exsang

#

Can think of plenty of times when I was messing around with TB where I didn't pool cp properly and missed a 3rd envenom or had to refresh rupture in TB

#

Or got unlucky and didn't even get 2 envenom

strange python
#

Rank 1 sin TB doesn't even pool more than 100 for tb

#

rofl

#

for Fetid

keen hound
#

again, not talking even necessarilyt about suboptimally playing it... if you miss 1 envenom during tb... you aren't going to hurt that bad vs if youi mess up exsang

frosty gyro
#

But he is pooling cp and energy

frosty gyro
#

Sure but messing up exsang is near impossible

keen hound
#

your dmg is going to hurt much more if you mess up exsang vs if you don't get 3 envenoms in tb

languid ore
#

Top ranked mother

#

Not pooling

#

He's just using it on cd

strange python
#

His first TB is at 1 cp

#

rofl

languid ore
#

Check the casts and what follow

frosty gyro
#

First TB like in the opener?

strange python
#

3rd TB also used at 1 cp

#

No I meant 2nd

languid ore
#

2nd

carmine valve
#

so use it on CD, and not trying to pool for 3 envenoms?

languid ore
#

Basically

strange python
#

4th TB used at 0cp

#

Hmmmm

frosty gyro
#

Uh

#

What are you looking at

#

3rd TB had 2 mut before it

languid ore
#

He's not aiming for your magical 3 env

#

Is what we're getting at

frosty gyro
#

Uh

#

3rd 2b has 2 mut before it

languid ore
#

Holy christ

frosty gyro
#

got 3 envenoms

#

So

#

You're wrong

#

lol

languid ore
#

Lmao

carmine valve
#

Kirvin are you trolling ?

languid ore
#

Nvm

#

I should have known I was being trolled

frosty gyro
languid ore
#

Gah damn

carmine valve
#

Cause your saying pool for TB, when guide says use on CD, and Exang is supose to be used optimally, while you want it to be used on CD

keen hound
#

that second one he thjrew out a rupture during tb

strange python
languid ore
#

He's picking literally one spot

strange python
#

Why are u looking at 4th TB

#

I was talking about 3rd

frosty gyro
#

3rd one he has vendetta for

#

Weird use of vendetta 🤔

strange python
#

5th TB with 0 cp

#

ughh

tropic heron
#

waiut are you supposed to pool for TB

#

or use it on CD?

frosty gyro
#

Also @keen hound yeah and using a rupture during TB is something that you want to completely avoid so there's an examble of a 100th percentile player not being able to even play TB optimally

#

Because of how much shit you have to do for it optimally

strange python
frosty gyro
#

Yeah you want to use it on CD

tropic heron
#

oh ok i thought ir ead someone just above say to pool for it or osmething

#

was just checking if that was a new method

frosty gyro
#

You can pool and use it on CD

#

it's not new

#

You just have to plan ahead of time

#

I wonder if anyone could find a top exsang parse that has a mistake in it

#

lol

keen hound
#

@frosty gyro It points out that it isn't the end of the world if you mess tb up

languid ore
#

The next best

#

On that list

#

Using tb

#

We can keep going. Top parses are people not pooling

#

Just weaving tb in asap

#

Using it as a cp rather

frosty gyro
#

Maybe stop using mother which has a bunch of aoe on mythic?

strange python
#

rofl what

languid ore
#

Sure. Pick a fight

#

Fetid?

frosty gyro
#

Taloc is probably the closest thing to ST tbh

strange python
#

But the rogue doesn't even pad on mother

frosty gyro
#

11 casts of FoK

strange python
#

or does he

#

🤔

frosty gyro
#

Very ST

languid ore
#

Top taloc

#

Tb then muts

#

Wow. Very pool much energy very envenoms

#

Tb on CD fam

#

It's no rocket scientry

frosty gyro
languid ore
#

That's the first one

spice surge
#

TB on CD and pooling isnt contrary

frosty gyro
#

What

languid ore
#

Keep going papi

spice surge
#

You can do both

frosty gyro
#

That's so far into the fight

languid ore
#

So you picked out one spot

#

Instead of the other 7

strange python
#

He gets 3 envenoms maybe like 2 times

frosty gyro
#

Want me to show others?

strange python
#

rofl

languid ore
#

Lol

#

Fucking troll god

frosty gyro
#

I mean 4 of the TBs before thatt are triple envenom

languid ore
#

You ain't getting me baby

spice surge
#

Also, whatever the top log is doing isnt necessarily the best

strange python
#

ofcs

languid ore
#

Tb on cd

spice surge
#

You can do both

frosty gyro
#

He triple envenoms the first one with vendetta, pools and galecallers the 3rd one for another triple, vendetta triples his 4th one

#

5th*

strange python
#

He actually only gets 3 env in TB twice

frosty gyro
#

Also he messed up one and had to use a 1cp envenom in it because he didn't pool energy

strange python
#

rofl

frosty gyro
#

Which one did he mess up?

strange python
#

2nd vendetta

carmine valve
#

Ive been asking this for quite some time

frosty gyro
#

TB used at 159 3rd envenom at 166

#

How is that messed up

carmine valve
#

There was a google sheet that explained TB/exang opener

#

Someon got the link?

frosty gyro
#

You can just sim with the talent and look at the sequence table under APL if you can't find it

unkempt gulch
#

pooling LUL

strange python
#

ops missed one

frosty gyro
#

Yep

strange python
#

Still only 3 envenoms into TB

#

Out of 9 casts

frosty gyro
#

Plus if he messed one up that would be a great example of how a 100th percentile player made a mistake while attempting to play TB optimally

#

Yeah and there's stuff like a 1CP envenom in TB in there

#

Because it's a pain inthe ass to do everything perfectly with TB

#

While Exsang is way simpler

karmic ingot
frosty gyro
#

That's MA right?

karmic ingot
#

Ya

frosty gyro
#

No SS

karmic ingot
#

Correct

#

Ranvenholdt has openers for SS. SimC has opener for MA/TB no SS. Which seems to be what people keep asking.

#

Well, really, ravenholdt is just missing MA openers.

unkempt gulch
#

yea

frosty gyro
dusk holly
#

Doesn’t the APL use pooling for TB

strange python
#

Nope

karmic ingot
#

It’s not a very good trait.

lone junco
#

Apl used to pool and clip ep/env back for Kb

frosty gyro
lone junco
#

Weak doesn't believe it matters enough.

#

In sim

unkempt gulch
#

I never pool in raid and parse pretty damn well

strange python
#

Marked for death + TB sims more than vigor + xs for 4T 40 sec

#

🤔

lone junco
#

Yeah.

strange python
#

MfD is 🤢 though

lone junco
#

So when we get the dungeon hero we will be able to blend 1t bosses with 6t trash.

frosty gyro
lone junco
#

I think the occasional st conditions will still want Vig.

strange python
#

Ye

languid ore
#

The real question is are you losing dps for pooling and waiting for 3 or just using it on cooldown

#

You're not asking that question

lone junco
#

So we will get to pick from raw cleave to the blend.

languid ore
#

And the numbers were probably done already

#

And on CD came out on top

lone junco
#

I feel like Vig does a lot of good work

languid ore
#

What the difference in dmg in the two are probably neglible

frosty gyro
#

I've never said you don't use it on CD

#

Although you don't use it on CD the 5th time

#

You use it on CD you just have to pay attention and do extra stuff so when you use it on CD you get the most out of it

#

Which is much more annoying to do perfectly than exsang in my experience

lone junco
#

Does the 5th sync with the 2min vanish?

strange python
#

Im actually considering running archive for higher keys, shit just doesnt die as fast

#

🤔

lone junco
#

Seli shifted to 2scent 1ss.

#

Try that if you have the stuff for it.

strange python
#

2 scent 1 ss

#

Hmmm

#

I have those ,yes

frosty gyro
#

@lone junco if you wait ike 10 sec or something your 5th toxic blade syncs with vanish/vendetta I see most top logs do it

lone junco
#

Massive FOK whites. If you have enough scent stack

languid ore
#

I have 1 scent 1 ss and archive

strange python
#

355 Scent, 340 scent, 370 ss

lone junco
#

@frosty gyro I can see that. I also see that there are so many traits /tweaks that the apl tuning is constantly changing.

#

If you plan to play scent. Your group needs to big dick pull.

frosty gyro
#

Yeah I mean it's really hard to get the apl to play perfectly with a trait that requires pooling cp and energy for optimal use

lone junco
#

Wait.

#

Apl in legion got really well tuned imo. It could pool for ep uptime. Or for Kb clips.

strange python
#

selas azerite pieces are fucking 385

lone junco
#

Just has a lot of stuff to work with now. Wait until people start playing poison wire and twist.

frosty gyro
#

Oh god

#

I think they should make poisoned wire flat damage instead of crit chance

lone junco
#

All it takes is a balance tweak and stuff slides by 2-3%

main blaze
#

Yeah or crit damage instead of crit chance

lone junco
#

I like the crit.

main blaze
#

or both crit damage / chance

lone junco
#

Crit is their way of making balanced blades trait

frosty gyro
#

The thing about the crit is it makes it stack horribly and makes the varriance in CP gain from seal fate even higher

#

Plus it has to somehow avoid DRing with higher crit ratings we get late in expac and MA and it's just a whole mess to account for what is best with it being crit

lone junco
#

Aoe
G m r. M r g. Mut rupture. Mut rupture.

#

I love embedded crit to mut. Would hate to lose SS for it. But it def pumps the cps.

frosty gyro
#

It's a cool concept I just think it executes badly.

stable oxide
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
frosty gyro
#

It's one of the problems I have with azerite in general

lone junco
#

Maybe 3 charges and it is bis.

frosty gyro
#

They want the traits to scale with ilv so they have to use flat numbers they can't use percentages or autocrit

lone junco
#

Yeah.

frosty gyro
#

It would probably be way better as an autocrit

#

for 1 mut

#

In terms of not being annoying and confusing to sim/use

lone junco
#

3sec 50crit is a great example of awkward

#

vanish tb mut env. Will never be that bad. But. 3cp vanish tb env mut. Is better.

#

Probably hard to sim without delaying the tb.

frosty gyro
#

Is it? That's not what sim does.

lone junco
#

Afaik the vanish tb ma isn't fixed.

frosty gyro
#

I mean in both cases you get MA on a tb env and mut

#

and in one you get tb and vanish on cd faster

lone junco
#

I didn't pray to the shoulder god in legion even with 100%. 3s50 is too limp.

#

Rip Bracers. 😢

#

Actually exang bota procs were what gave me life.

#

Engaging game play. When they keep adding dps rings. But add DR. so we wind up with blends of 6 dps. And 3 heed row.

#

I couldn't even predict the super Op build if we got 6 of the current traits.

frosty gyro
#

I mean I think it would be neat if all the traits were unique and they made the system around that.

tropic heron
#

ever since i started simming traits i feel like my DPS has gone up

frosty gyro
#

Then if you make all the traits change rotation a bit you end up with people doing all sorts of weird rotations depending on traits

#

Like imagine some guy using SS + DD + Poison Wire + SB

dark token
#

I would use 5x SS for fat garrotes and save vanish for triple garrote cheese on every fight

frosty gyro
#

Oh yeah extra ring means 6 traits not 4

#

My god

#

I see so many pvp specific trait nerfs

#

Watch out for the 6x SS exsang rogues

fading hearth
#

Wait are rogues getting another nerf again?

frosty gyro
#

Kinda?

#

They had a pvp hotfix to an azerite trait yesterday

#

That's about it though

silent scaffold
#

is triple ss or double dose worth it in m+?

fading spade
#

I run 2x ss and one archive for raid and m+

#

It works well for me

karmic ingot
#

They’ll probably do the extra ring the same way they did the crucible in legion. I bet you won’t be able to get the same trait twice on one item.

errant mauve
#

They are adding another ring to azerite gear?

fading spade
#

That's not for a while though

errant mauve
#

Oh

fading spade
#

I think 8.1

frosty gyro
#

I wonder when 8.1 will be

strange python
#

345 Galecaller's with a socket or 360 Harlan's?

errant mauve
#

At what % does haste start to fall off and become not worth stacking anymore ?

frosty gyro
#

Like never for sin

errant mauve
#

I see

frosty gyro
#

Just sim yourself to find out

#

I think the APL got updated like yesterday and it makes haste even more valuable than it already was

#

So you're safe with assloads of haste and some crit

errant mauve
#

Lol yea

#

Is fathoms deck more dps than galecallers 360 ilvl trinket?

#

Or frenetics corps 370

strange python
#

sim yourself

frosty gyro
#

I'm just going to say yes

#

Assuming ST

#

And sims aren't that great for non ST

#

Note that out of the top logs for almost every boss in uldir like 80% of them have fathoms on

#

Except for uh

#

Zekvoz

#

Where it's more like 40%

#

You don't really beat fathoms until you get into the good trinkets at ilv 380+ or 370 with socket

karmic ingot
#

If you’re asking whether fathoms is better than 360 GC I want to know what your other trinket is.

frosty gyro
#

Like Harlan's/Plumage/Guile/GC

errant mauve
#

So which trinket should I replace? Galecallers? And use galecallers for trash pulls and aoe?

frosty gyro
#

Probably just use galecallers+fathoms for everything

errant mauve
#

Frenetic corps 370 and galecallers 360 are what I have now

frosty gyro
#

Frenetic is literally a worse fathoms

karmic ingot
#

Frenetic 370 is not good.

frosty gyro
#

Idk if 385 frenetic is better than fathoms

karmic ingot
#

It might be competitive for outlaw. Not for sin.

errant mauve
#

So grab fathoms and swap out frenetic , got it

karmic ingot
#

If only there were a way to tell🤔

strange python
#

was*

errant mauve
#

Lol I’m not at my computer

#

And I’m asking for general opinion on the trinkets.

strange python
#

General opinion doesn't matter

#

Its the sims

karmic ingot
#

General opinion is frenetic 370 in the dumpster. But simming it will provide more info.

strange python
#

Its trash

errant mauve
#

If it’s trash what would make it sim higher?

strange python
#

Thats not what he meant

strange python
#

why

frosty gyro
#

Frenetic 385 < Fathoms

strange python
#

yeah well that was known

frosty gyro
#

I mean it's only 20dps off

strange python
#

still

#

all raid trinkets are garbage

frosty gyro
#

I hope blizzard doesn't add a fathoms upgrade

strange python
#

Didnt they add the upgrade to the legion one?

#

I forgot what it was called

frosty gyro
#

Yeah but I'm hoping they don't do it in bfa

#

You know what I thinkl they should do next expac though

#

Artifact trinkets

strange python
#

yes

#

kill the game

frosty gyro
#

Like trinkets are already things with on use effects and proc effects

#

Instead of putting that stuff on weapons and armor just put it where it belongs

strange python
#

or maybe no artifacts, no legendaries

#

just add tier sets back

frosty gyro
#

TBH I don't mind tier sets being gone

#

provided we get adequate replacements

#

Which Azerite isn't

strange python
#

Why

#

When tier sets were already good

frosty gyro
#

Tier sets were okay

#

It was kinda annoying to try to get a complete set and it would be a nightmare with PL

strange python
#

tf is a PL

#

personal loot?

frosty gyro
#

personal loot

strange python
#

Why would it be a nightmare

frosty gyro
#

Some people haven't even got a single piece of azerite gear from raid

strange python
#

And as if getting azerite pieces isnt annoying rofl

frosty gyro
#

Imagine trying to get 4 different specific loot pieces with this system

strange python
#

You mean tier piece?

frosty gyro
#

No I'm saying right now with personal loot it's already a pain to get azerite gear from raid and trying to get a tier set would be even worse

#

personal loot needs an overhaul

strange python
#

If you pug then PL is good

#

You can still trade the pieces if u dont need them

frosty gyro
#

And also having to use lower ilv gear because it completes a set bonus

strange python
#

+guilds override it with forcing people to give items away anyways

frosty gyro
#

How do you force people to give items away?

strange python
#

Guilds do that

frosty gyro
#

How?

#

I mean you can only trade side/downgrade

strange python
#

Well you can have a 370 azerite piece with complete dogshit traits

#

And get a 370 bis in raid

#

Thus you can be forced to give it away

frosty gyro
#

Happens very rarely nowadays

strange python
#

Some guilds do that

#

They still have the loot council

frosty gyro
#

Well yeah but you have to get a sidegrade in the first place

faint harness
#

Few items per boss

frosty gyro
#

ML they would just pass over upgrades as well sometimes

#

Neither system is perfect really but PL has plenty of room for improvement

faint harness
#

You never owned any item with ML

frosty gyro
#

Which Blizzard just won't do

faint harness
#

It was never yours

#

atm you get an item and you might have to give it away

strange python
#

Yeah

faint harness
#

Its the same idea behind lootcouncil but now its worse because it automatically feels worse to trade away loot you already had

frosty gyro
#

I think we need raid gear vendors back with tokens

#

And trading someone an upgrade should give you tokens

zinc zephyr
#

Fixed a bug causing the bonus damage from Shrouded Suffocation to fall off if the rogue used Garrote on another target.

#

yaaaaaaaay ❤

faint harness
#

I dont understand how that would work Kirvin

strange python
#

neither

frosty gyro
#

What do you not understand

faint harness
#

How would trading gear generate a token

#

and why would it

#

and where would you use it

#

and what could you get

frosty gyro
#

If you get a piece of gear, say heroic. And someone who is not you equips it, and it is an upgrade.

faint harness
#

isnt that just technically getting double loot

frosty gyro
#

You get some currency towards buying a piece of heroic gear

#

Well I think that every boss that doesn't drop loot should give tokens as well

faint harness
#

They would never ever do that because its a bad idea imo

strange python
#

gearing would be so easy then

frosty gyro
#

I mean you can easily adjust to make gearing on average about the same as now

#

But more targeted

#

It's not like you just have to add more gear and adjust nothing

faint harness
#

Nah but its still.. Target gear? This isnt private realms

frosty gyro
#

PL has problems with bad luckl on specific pieces/getting redundant pieces

faint harness
#

You're stuck in the legendary fix they made in Legion, i think both were dumb.

frosty gyro
#

@faint harness did you play like wrath?

faint harness
#

Yes but that gear was redundant in few weeks

frosty gyro
#

lol?

faint harness
#

?

#

So you want the orbs back

frosty gyro
#

Emblems

#

Was a pretty solid system

faint harness
#

It was there in the end of BC too

frosty gyro
#

But basically as long as we're pure PL they need to do something to fix the issues of RNG

faint harness
#

They love the RNG

#

They wont fix something they love

frosty gyro
#

Yeah but players don't

#

Especially with stuff that is severely timegated

#

Like azerite

olive peak
#

Hello guys, i recently got 2 - 370 azerite pieces from uldir (matrix and archive) and a 385 piece with dagger in the back...m,y ilvl now is 374 and my BURST is a lot lower than when i was 350 with 3 shrouded suffs..thing is i probably do more sustained damage, but my question is , should i run a 340 azerite with shrouded even if raidbots says its a downgrade?.. like it feels like shit to be 25 ilvls higher and doin 10-15k less burst

faint harness
#

They dont give a shit about what players think, they decided that the playerbase should be saved from themselves long ago

#

Thats why they remove options

frosty gyro
#

Maybe you should sim yourself

strange python
#

Run with what sims more

#

Who cares about ur burst in raids

faint harness
#

But man NUMBERS dood

strange python
#

muuuh numbers

subtle bane
#

with what settings on raidbots do you sim m+

faint harness
#

Longest post ever getting a headache trying to read it

frosty gyro
#

You don't

#

But people will tell you 6 boss 40 seconds

zenith cedar
#

SS is back boys

#

no more bug

strange python
#

nah dont do that lol

faint harness
#

when was SS gone

zenith cedar
#

were the kings of m+ forever

strange python
#

I do 4t 40sec-1min

#

This week

faint harness
#

Im confused

#

I have been running SS all this time

#

in dungeons

strange python
#

same rofl

frosty gyro
#

I say trust your instincts

spring prawn
#

never. people r too dumb to not press garrote 4 times lel

frosty gyro
#

And don't use Galecallers

#

Ever

languid ore
#

PL is fine

zenith cedar
#

dont use galecallers? wat

spring prawn
#

Galecaller is sick dude, idk what ure on

faint harness
#

PL is a flawed system

frosty gyro
#

Too many spastic tanks that run the boss away from GCB

languid ore
#

every system is

spring prawn
#

lmao, macro it with /shout

faint harness
#

Yes but PL is very flawed

zenith cedar
#

if u cant use GCB in raids then its ur fault

languid ore
#

very""

zenith cedar
#

there are always 10 second windows of standing still

languid ore
#

ok.

faint harness
#

Werent you talking about dungeons

#

(?)

zenith cedar
#

same shit

frosty gyro
#

I mean PL isn't completely horrible it's still possible to do fairly well and get results roughly equal to your effort

#

For most people who aren;'t super unlucky

#

It could just stand to see some improvements

zenith cedar
#

a 1 min cd is great for dungeons

faint harness
#

we end up with ppl that have 380-382 gear, and then half the raid has 370

#

its a shit system

languid ore
#

isnt there a hidden luck system behind it too

frosty gyro
#

Don't think so

#

I think only bonus rolls have bad luck protection

#

And the M+ cache with azerite

faint harness
#

theres no bad luck protection, only from the coining

frosty gyro
#

@zenith cedar tell that to my spastic pug tanks that like to run 20feet away right after I active GCB

spring prawn
#

honestly when ure 370 its not bad luck

#

just laziness

faint harness
#

How is that laziness

zenith cedar
#

are u in m5s or something

frosty gyro
#

Theoretical 200DPS upgrade in sims if I get to stand in 100% of galecallers vs 100% guaranteed DPS that can't be countered by dumb tanks and boss mechanics

zenith cedar
#

i dont have that issue

frosty gyro
#

Ran a +11 freehold this morning

zenith cedar
#

cool

frosty gyro
#

Tank ran all over the place kiting

spring prawn
#

even my dh alt, which does 1 mythic 10, arena cap and heroic raid a week is 372

frosty gyro
#

Was annoying as hell

faint harness
#

you got lucky then

frosty gyro
#

Never using GCB again

faint harness
#

silencedt

frosty gyro
#

It's barely an upgrade anyways

#

Not worth it

zenith cedar
#

i got 370 in first week of m+10 loot lol

#

idk this system is broken

#

i dont raid mythics so i cant do shit to get gear except cap pvp 1800+ rating and do a single m 10 a week

#

its dumb

faint harness
#

an affliction warlock in my guild was 379 first week of mythic

spring prawn
#

im 378 with 2/8 m lel

zenith cedar
#

i have a job and cant raid hardcore lol

faint harness
#

"raid hardcore"

#

i raid 3 days a week

#

and i have a 9-5 job

#

and am 6/8

#

bad excuse

zenith cedar
#

9-5

#

lol

frosty gyro
#

Probably has more RL obligations than you do

zenith cedar
#

good for you

faint harness
#

What do you mean, thats a fulltime job (?)

zenith cedar
#

Yes it is a full time job

olive peak
#

is it better to run 3x SS with 340 azerite pieces instead of 2x370 1x 385 different traits?

frosty gyro
faint harness
#

who knows decoy, its up to you to find that out

spring prawn
#

depends on traits, what kinda question is that lol

faint harness
#

"different traits"

zenith cedar
#

385 likely better than a 340 if the traits are decent

#

370s are probably better too

faint harness
#

the rupture trait is actually decent in m+

spring prawn
#

no

#

340 ss > 370 archive

faint harness
#

the FoK trait is also ok

spring prawn
#

if not in raid*

zenith cedar
#

sure

faint harness
#

double dose does fuckall in m+

spring prawn
#

im running 360 SS, 340 SS, 385 SS

zenith cedar
#

i run 385 sb 370 ss 340 ss

faint harness
#

yikes

zenith cedar
#

personally

frosty gyro
#

Rupture trait BiS in M+ apaprently

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

zenith cedar
#

but thats the best i have

faint harness
#

rupture trait is rly good honest

#

you got 500 + agi on most aoe pulls

spring prawn
#

idk, spamming rupture on everything is kinda meh

zenith cedar
#

disagree

faint harness
#

well you dont have to max them

zenith cedar
#

lol

spring prawn
#

spamming CT with 2 rupture up is way more dps

zenith cedar
#

venemous wounds + free energy and agility

spring prawn
#

just fyi

zenith cedar
#

is a pretty good deal

faint harness
#

i would rather envenom and get more deadly poison procs on fok

frosty gyro
#

uh

zenith cedar
#

depends on targets

frosty gyro
#

Well I mean I'm not the one who's going with rupture trait

faint harness
#

spamming CT is a yikers

frosty gyro
#

That wou;ld be Seliathan

spring prawn
#

spamming CT is go to

faint harness
#

sure thing man 4Head

frosty gyro
#

I'm sure you're a better M+ player than Seliathan

spring prawn
#

800 io detected omegalul

frosty gyro
#

You do you

faint harness
#

I dont even know who that is honestly

spring prawn
#

#2 world rogue

faint harness
#

And i dont really care what he runs

frosty gyro
#

He's in here and also streams

faint harness
#

yea i agree about the rupture traits but not the CT spams

frosty gyro
#

The CT spam is stupid

#

You only do that on massive packs of tiny mobs

spring prawn
#

its way more dps then rupturing everything

frosty gyro
#

Well Seliathan would disagree

#

But I'm sure you know better than him

spring prawn
#

1 rupture is 800 dps

lone junco
#

Scent is strong. His 20k overall is baller.

spring prawn
#

while 1 CT deals 2k instantly every 5 cp

#
  • bleed
lone junco
#

FOK white with 8 ruptures out is eggplant.

frosty gyro
#

good math there

spring prawn
#

hows that good math? lol

frosty gyro
#

@lone junco Does he just put up a bunch of ruptures and then spam fok overcapping cp?

#

That sounds dank

lone junco
#

The Ct spam math is vs another env. There is a break of Ct hit over env value.

frosty gyro
#

I wish I had scent of blood

lone junco
#

I'll talk with him more. We ran it in prepatch and early. He just went back. So I doubt he's one capping.

faint harness
#

got the wb scent

#

at 370

spring prawn
#

hes only running scent cuz 385 tho :p

lone junco
#

He overcapped legion tho.

#

7pk with mastery was wort more to him in shoulder than the env bomb.

#

Maybe not. They pull big.

#

I wish I had 7pk for a bit.

#

Seemed baller.

frosty gyro
#

7pk?

lone junco
#

The fok trait in legion.

reef frigate
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
lone junco
#

Everyone else was running vendettas and deadly poison.

#

Or bb.

spring prawn
#

seliathan just said it aswell :>

lone junco
#

He had 7dp 7pk

spring prawn
#

ruptures up - spam ct or envenom

lone junco
#

Right. After rupture is out. You Ct or env. Those are your choices.

spring prawn
#

ofc after, but theres no point to apply 10 ruptures lul

lone junco
#

Good luck maintaining 10 even with scent. They don't last that long.

spring prawn
#

u might wanna read that again :p

subtle leaf
#

thanks @lone junco

dice/deadeye best for m+? I also have a 395 azerokks heart?

Among those 3 probably w/e is best for ST will also be best for M+

huh

I was 814 2 days ago

#

992 right now

#

Just did a bunch of pugs over the last 2 days

strange python
#

I could probably go up by like 60 easily if I do sethralis

#

my best is +6 depleted

#

I just dont do that shit

frosty gyro
#

Sethralis is so easy this week

#

I did an 11 in time and a 12 almost in time

#

Basically none of the trash in sethralis is actually hard

ancient compass
#

is vendetta bugged right now?

frosty gyro
#

in what way

ancient compass
#

I am getting a 1 min CD vendetta every time I use it

frosty gyro
#

that's OP

#

And yeah it would be a bug

strange python
#

are u sure its not a visual bug?

ancient compass
#

i have it macroed with galecallers boon

#

i am positive I am using it every minute

#

unless when I use it the second time its not actually doing anything

strange python
#

Report it?

ancient compass
#

nvm...its cuz the trinket is a 1min cd

#

I thought trinket was a 2 min cd

#

stupid me

sooo sooo much...

just kill mother mythic 4Head

strange python

easy

frosty gyro

Taloc and Mother mythic actually aren't very hard at all

#

Cou;ld probably pug them on a decent pop server

strange python
#

I am from EU and you cant pug it with ppl from my server

#

And its a high pop server

cold meteor
#

I pugged mother mythic

#

only 22 pulls

strange python
#

xD

marsh bloom
frosty gyro
#

Blackrock aint too bad it looks like

#

You cou;ld probably pug it

cold meteor
#

was not bad when it was a 1st down for 90% of the group

strange python
#

si the secondarys are not bad tbh

frosty gyro
#

I wish cross realm mythic opened at 25 full clears like I saw some people saying instead of 100 clears for both factions which is what it seems to be

strange python
#

i will retry it

frosty gyro
#

61 more horde guilds and 94 more alliance guilds to go

strange python
#

.....

marsh bloom
#

What site do you guys use to sim assassination M+?

spice surge
#

For most things herodamage has the setups (pressing assa>X>M+)

marsh bloom
#

Do I just put down hectic add cleave for a minute?

cold meteor
#

patchwerk 5 bosses 40sec

spice surge
#

If you want to sim hectic add cleave for a minute

#

Tbh if you just dinged it doesnt matter. Just get good aoe stats and SS traits

#

In almost any case aswell

marsh bloom
#

SS?

steel geyser
#

shrouded suffocation

#

(garrote buffed trait)

marsh bloom
#

oh lol

#

ah yea

#

Idk what good aoe stats are lol

#

and I hear everyone says that vigor is just way easier to use but on the site it says MfD is the best

#

for dungeons

faint harness
#

Mother mythic is prob at Taloc levels of easy

#

basically heroic ghuun is more difficult

marsh bloom
#

hectiv add cleave one boss is fine?

frosty gyro
#

what's the easiest 3rd boss in Mythic?

#

Zekvoz?

spice surge
#

I mean, you're gonna get sims that arent representative of a full m+

#

because you cant get good sims for m+

#

As it varies depending on your group, your pulls, key level

#

The one on herodamage is an approximation which is way to cumbersome to run for yourself, nevermind the fact that you basicly wont be getting much useful info

still hare
#

Just go for 3ss + decent amount of mastery and critical + ct especially for higher m+ with fortified

marsh bloom
#

SS doesn't stack

spice surge
#

The damage does

#

As with every trait

marsh bloom
#

ah ok

spice surge
#

Damage always stacks, not the other effects

calm grail
#

Are you telling me that I seriously won't get nine combo points when I use a single garrote with 3 SS?

still hare
#

You might wanna try run with 2ss and 1 scent

calm grail
#

Come on Blizzard, dropping the ball as always.

still hare
#

Cp doesn’t stack

spice surge
#

3x2+1 is 7 not nine 😄

still hare
#

Never did

spice surge
#

Didnt even meme correctly 😄

calm grail
#

3 SS brother

#

Triple geeee

still hare
#

Scent works fine if your group goes for big pulls

calm grail
#

They just need to make old anticipation baseline. Ez

marsh bloom
#

I've looked everywhere and I can't find out how to use elaborate planning effectively

calm grail
#

Well. Just use finishers.

#

Often.

#

Especially during stuff

quaint flare
marsh bloom
#

I was wondering why @spice surge mentioned "if you just dinged" and then I looked at my name again lol

still hare
#

You need to do a decent energy pool phase before cast your finishers during lust and procs

marsh bloom
#

procs?

still hare
#

That way you’ll make the most out of elaborate planning

marsh bloom
#

and if I use envenom twice in a row theres like 2 seconds that just gets wasted, is that ok?

still hare
#

Yep, trinks, decent stack of weapon enchants

candid mica
#

wait untill <.5 sec on ep

#

then envenom

#

unless you're going to energy cap

#

then use it right away

still hare
#

You wont be able to keep ep up 100%

candid mica
#

yea obv

#

chaining envenoms is good tho

marsh bloom
#

Does elaborate planning snapshot rupture?

strange python
#

Hey, anyone willing to take a look at som assasination logs? Trying to help a friend find where his lack of dmg is coming from. Quite a big difference in garrote dmg for instance with a similar amount of casts.

candid mica
#

no it doesnt

marsh bloom
#

rip

candid mica
#

link the logs

candid mica
#

he doesn't have any ss traits

#

and he isnt using vanish

strange python
#

How big difference does the SS trait do?

#

i've looked at other rogues of similar ilvl and the difference is like +40% or so

candid mica
#

not using vanish is the big one

fervent stream
#

Is fan if blades Azerite trait good for PvP?

frosty gyro
#

lol

strange python
#

Alright thanks stub, see anything else?

#

Im not a rogue player but his melee dmg seems to be very high up as well ?

frosty gyro
#

Fan of Blades got a 75% damage nerf in pvp yesterday

candid mica
#

he casted poisoned knife 23 times

#

???

strange python
#

I'll ask

candid mica
#

he also casted feint 8 times

#

that's alot of wasted energy

steel geyser
#

Feint is the best rogue spell

candid mica
#

on heroic taloc

#

its a dps loss

steel geyser
#

oh

#

xd

candid mica
#

he only casted tb 6 times

#

ona 4:44 fight

#

that's bad

faint harness
#

@frosty gyro Zek'vozz and Vectis are equal

strange python
#

He says poisoned knifes builds combos and renews deadly poison when he has to run out of the fight

#

whats TB ? @candid mica

candid mica
#

toxic blade

marsh bloom
#

apparently 25% crit 10% haste 30% mastery gives haste a 2.71 stat weight lmao in aoe

#

does that sound right?

candid mica
#

he shouldn't be pressing poisoned knife that much

#

at all

#

it's a huge waste of energy

#

you can press it to avoid capping energy

#

if you have to run out

#

that's about it

strange python
#

toxic blade 7 times on a 6.47 vectis fight is also 2 low then i guess?

candid mica
#

yea

marsh bloom
#

lmao 7 times

candid mica
#

its a 25 sec cd

pine tartan
#

7 times?

marsh bloom
#

25 sec cd right?

pine tartan
#

yh

candid mica
#

he could've had 1 more ven on the vectis log

#

and again no vanish

marsh bloom
#

7x25 is 175 thats about 2 minutes

#

ven?

#

envenom?

candid mica
#

vendetta

strange python
#

Not using vanish is a big loss even without SS trait?

candid mica
#

yes

strange python
#

he says theres no point using vanish without it

candid mica
#

he's taking subterfuge

#

did he even read his talents

#

?

lone junco
#

I'm good thanks.

strong dome
#

on taloc kill

#

he used TB 6 times

#

he could've used it 12

marsh bloom
#

vanish lets you empower your garrote

strange python
#

Hes asking if he should use Nightstalker talent with garrote

strong dome
#

nightstalker is garbo

#

jesus hes never using TB

quick fog
#

Vanish is a big buff with Subterfuge or MA

surreal halo
#

What are you guys using as pooling logic? Maximise EP? Envemon Buff? Overlap envenom into last second of EP? Pooling for TB only?

strong dome
#

on vectis he used 7 out of 17 TBs

strange python
#

So hes supposed to use Subterfuge?

strong dome
#

dont know if that accounts for downtime tho

#

either subterfuge or MA

quick fog
#

I personally don't like Sub on ST.

strong dome
#

depending on what sims the highest

quick fog
#

BUt that's just me

#

Which one you should use is sim dependent

strange python
#

think stub disagrees ^^ ?

candid mica
#

whatever sims higher

#

yea

#

i run exsang so i always use sub

strange python
#

But to summurize : Starting to use vanish, cast TB a lot more than he does and not waste energy with poisoned knives?

strong dome
#

hes also overcapping on CPs

#

alot

candid mica
#

yea

#

14 wasted on taloc

#

i didnt look at that on vectis

#

his opener is wrong aswell

#

im assuming he got the plasma discharge on his taloc opener

#

he should've cloaked that off

#

not sprint out mid opener

strong dome
#

he wasted 16 combopoints on vectis

#

yea

#

lost all vendetta uptime

candid mica
#

he should cast crimson vial less aswell

strong dome
#

did they hero on pull? cuz if they did then thats even worse

candid mica
#

that's alot of wasted energy

#

no they lusted at the bottom

strange python
#

No hero on pull on either fight

strong dome
#

okay

candid mica
#

he casted fok 2 times and only hit 1 target both times

#

that's bad

#

he's running master poisoner for some reason

#

maybe it sims higher for him idk

#

but as far as I know ep is better

#

in every situation

strange python
#

Im helping him with sim atm, so he hasnt simmed talents

candid mica
#

yikes

light kestrel
#

Crafted 385 boots, high vers low mastery... RIP expulsom

strange python
#

Huge thanks guys 😃 I'll tell him what you said and see where it goes from there 😃

strong dome
#

theres moments on taloc where he casts 3 mutilates in a row, whats going on there

frosty gyro
#

@strong dome he got blocked 4Head

daring imp
#

maybe mut parry ytho

calm grail
#

I have like 500 sanguicell but not nearly enough expulsom. I can't be bothered to do the bracer flipping either too soul draining.

candid mica
#

you shouldn't be infront of taloc almost ever

#

so i doubt

royal lantern
#

i think you can craft feast on the next patch with the cells or something

frosty gyro
#

I always love when the tank decides to spin a boss during my opener and garrote gets blocked

strong dome
#

like wtf is this here

royal lantern
#

they give them more uses

strong dome
#

Mutilate>garrote>mutilate>mutilate>rupture

frosty gyro
#

oof

#

I mean maybe mut got blocked and then he didn't crit twice

#

👌

candid mica
#

he didnt get any parries on mut that fight either

frosty gyro
#

double oof

daring imp
#

then he just wasn't paying attention to combo points

frosty gyro
#

He's running anticipation?

candid mica
#

that isnt in the game anymore

frosty gyro
#

It's a joke buddy

daring imp
#

lul

strange python
#

Okay i think i got an answer to the tripple mutilate or whatever

daring imp
#

well he definitely has to improve cd usage, bleed uptime and most of all, energy/cp efficiency

frosty gyro
#

Yeah he's just really bad

#

There's your answer

daring imp
#

overall he just needs to play more to get the hang of it

frosty gyro
#

^

#

Practice on dummy

daring imp
#

also a weakaura

#

not sure he uses one

#

but damn he sure as heck can use one

strange python
#

Hes read that he shoiuld use rupture with a minumum of 4 combos, envenom with 5 combos. So if he has 4 combos with toxic blade on cd he uses mutilate to fill

strong dome
#

wat

candid mica
#

that's

daring imp
#

rup/env are both at 4+, envenom shouldn't be only at 5cp

frosty gyro
#

k dont do that

candid mica
#

very wrong

#

in pvp

#

env is only 5

daring imp
#

yea in pvp it makes sense ^

strong dome
#

yea

candid mica
#

maybe that's why he thinks that

daring imp
#

because of system shock

strange python

i got 96% today without prepot and 2cp envenom

#

frosty gyro

I have 2 99%s where I had CT on and didn't realize it

daring imp
#

lul

#

odds are you're better off with ct than pb given how shitty pb is now 😦

strong dome
#

just think of it as getting really unlucky and not getting a single poison bomb proc

daring imp

hearty yew
#

can someone explain how i should energy pull?

frosty gyro
#

I actually haven't checked if it would have been a 100 with PB 🤔

daring imp
#

@hearty yew you ask yourself three questions

#

1 - is there enough time left on rupture

#

2 - is there enough time on garrote

#

3 - any big cd coming of soon

#

if yes to the three, stop hitting any button lul

strange python
#

Well again, thanks for all the help. really apprieciate it 😃

hearty yew
#

so i basically never cast envenom in m+?

dire spoke
#

lol

strong dome
#

wat

strange python
#

u do

daring imp
#

uh ... why wouldn't you? o_o

strange python
#

when there is a priority target (usually infested mob)

#

or when a mob has low hp and casting rapture on it is worthless
