Yeeee. Got a dagger, outlaw was fun for two days. Comin' back baby

swift moss
#

What buff I grab for sin on opulance

deft nexus
#

i think Opal but I'm not sure

#

for M+, is 3xSS 3xEB the best combination of traits? (assuming all traits available ofc)

swift moss
#

I would think that you would want 1 echoing mabye 2 and then either a dd and vendette bleed or just dd

#

But I dont know anything since I just came back

cerulean walrus
#

I'd recommend throwing a SoB in there

#

Because SS can fall off pretty hard at high keys

swift moss
#

Yeah

hollow stone
#

Methinks 2ss 3eb 1sob bis

#

But tbd

#

Also depends on group

lost horizon
#

Meld if you're a nelf gives SS more value too

#

2nd vanish for trash can be nutty

steep obsidian
#

i always find myself holding vanish for way too long but then again i haven't really been doing huge keys or big pulls most of the time

#

its like by he time my garrots are finishing pull almost dead so it feels like a bit of a waste

light kestrel
#

anyone having a problem with literally always being one of the 3 hexxed right off the cuff on conclave?

#

I literally cloak @ 94 energy and I see hex pop up as "missed"

steep obsidian
#

it does go out on a shit ton of people

#

more the 3 i thought

light kestrel
#

literally every single pull without fail

lost horizon
#

Yeah that's pretty much how it goes, either don't have the energy to garrote 3 more things for good value, or they die before you can vanish

light kestrel
#

Looks like it's just 3 people

steep obsidian
#

it probably scales with raid size

When using Variable Intensity Gigavolt Oscillating Reactor, do I need to save my burst until I'm at 6 or just use burst in the opener?

somber otter
#

What to do when you stack SS traits and the tank chain pulls due to high keys

#

maybe keep only 1?

grizzled jay
#

Tell him to stop

dapper wraith
#

seriously, I just looted a 400 Gale, all happy and shit, come here and Genesiz is like "yo i got a 415 fu" lol =/

short wasp
#

Sorry man. haha 400 its still a good trink. Trinks are hard to come by so ur good !

somber otter
#

just not as good as Genesiz

#

lol

dapper wraith
#

yea, it's all good. just hilarious.

#

what is the sim craft settings for mythic +?

@faint vault Hey ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I have the same question. Also, I assume that once you hit 6 stacks, you wait 6 seconds, then hit the On Use effect to get another 6 seconds at max stacks (so 12 secs at max stacks total)? or do I have an incorrect understanding of the trinket?

vast forum
#

Doesn't matter when u use it

#

Just use on 6

quick ice
#

it just adds 6sec to the timer, basically

sinful lotus
#

Yea, so wouldn't you want to wait until you're at max stacks to get the most out of it?

#

Why add 6 seconds to a counter when it's on 1 stack?

quick ice
#

yeah, use on 6

icy ember
#

is there any reason to care about your offhand dagger? just curious, as it doesn't matter for outlaw, but w/mutilate you are hitting w/both daggers?

quick ice
#

but it doesn't matter when on 6

#

it doesn't matter MUCH

#

I think it might partially impact mut?

sinful lotus
#

Ok, that makes sense

#

And if you're on low stacks on pull, do you still pop all your coolies?

real bay
#

Offhand is literally just stats

quick ice
#

@sinful lotus I would, yeah

#

otherwise you may lose out on casts

#

in theory you can, through equipping and unequipping, with a ~30sec pull timer, guarantee max stacks at pull

#

but your guild will probably not go for it ๐Ÿ˜„

real bay
#

MH weapon dps stat weight is around 10 for me while OH is ~1

quick ice
#

yeah, the stats on the OH are worth more

real bay
#

Very

#

I have a socketed 380

quick ice
#

I think actually the OHdps no longer impacts mut since the change to %AP vs wepdps for ability damage

sinful lotus
#

@quick ice haha thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ that makes sense

i like bigwigs better than dbm, but i like dbm voice pack better is there a way to get big wigs voice pack to say keep moving on the sister boss in waycrest manorr?

obsidian girder
#

i'm playing with sub/tb - 1x ss trait
question:
first vendetta in the opener, do i vanish refresh garrote WHILE vendetta or AFTER so i have it again buffed ? i'm really confused because i read somewhere to refresh it afterwards because its already buffed but then next vendetta window i have to wait until vanish is up again what would happen again after vendetta and that is bad?

weak creek
#

you let the buffed garrote from the opener run out before vanishing

#

then you either garrote garrote if u vanished at 0cp or garrote enveom/rupture garrote if at 1-3 cp

night vale
#

As assassination do my dots snapshot when I put them up? e.g. should you use trinkets before using garrotte?

weak creek
#

its dynamic

obsidian girder
#

@weak creek okay and the next vendetta window ? should i wait for vanish and how do i start the infight vendetta window with vanish ? do i want to vendetta vanish garrote garrote so i have the buffed garrote the full vendetta time or how ?

mighty elm
#

do you store up energy to line up with your toxic blade everytime?

weak creek
#

dont hold tb for more than 4-5 seconds @mighty elm

#

@obsidian girder usually wait for vanish if you have ss traits before vendettaing again

#

only time you would use vendetta before vanish is literally if the raid encounter would end before your vanish would be up

#

vendetta lasts 20 seconds so you want your empowered garrotes to get the most benefit possible

mighty elm
#

@weak creek do you want to get out 2 envenoms in the TB window everytime?

weak creek
#

optimally yes

#

its fine to hold tb for like 3 seconds if ur refreshing a rupture or something of that nature beforehand

#

but usually cast on cd otherwise

real bay
#

@obsidian girder you can refresh a emp garrote by an emp garrote. Below 5.4s

weak creek
#

the more you hold tb the more seconds towards another tb that are wasted, so in total you could miss an extra tb window if you hold too much

real bay
#

Just don't refresh by a non empowred

weak creek
#

^

obsidian girder
#

@weak creek okay nice that helped alot.. last question to the infight vendetta. how do you start it ? just a rough explanation

weak creek
#

opener or just

#

vendetta mid fight

#

opener is garr rupture garr vendetta tb envenom

#

mid fight if ur cds are all up (vend/vanish)

mighty elm
#

ty

obsidian girder
#

midfight ๐Ÿ˜„

weak creek
#

first thing is dependent on if u have 0-5 cp

#

if you have 4-5 cp spend on finisher before vendetta

#

or

#

you can vendetta envenom vanish garrote garrote

#

theres a lot of ways you can do it tbh

#

if ur at 0 cp you double garrote during vanish

#

if ur at more than 3 cp you garrote envenom/rupture (if you need to refresh) and garrote again

strange python
#

You can be out of energy for the second emp garrote then if you're not careful though?

weak creek
#

vendetta gives energy back, if ur not completely starved from lack of pooling and being smart with energy you shouldnt be starved

#

if for some reason you are starved, you can wait half a second for a bit of energy though i suppose

#

ofc sin wants as much energy regen as possible due to costs being expensive on mut but, you should be setting up for that cd window

#

but like you said, thats assuming ur not being careful

strange python
#

Yeah, I just gotta learn to watch my energy better

void gazelle
#

You use exsanguinate only รกt full pandemic rupture and garrot, or use it at 20+sec?

weak creek
#

exsang you usually want as high of bleed times as you can get without wasting cp

hidden dirge
#

so after your first emp Garrote with Vendetta (24s into the fight) you Vanish and use another emp double Garrote.

Now your Vendetta will be up 24 s before your Vanish.
It's always worth to wait for Vanish before using Vendetta again.

After your 2nd Vendetta/Vanish they will align everytime.

Is this correct?

stable pine
#

With NP traits do you TB before Vendatta?

weak creek
#

no, still after

#

afaik

#

@hidden dirge yes, you wanna make sure somewhere in the next 3 gcds that 2 of them are garrote to get max uptime on them

#

@void gazelle make sure ur 3rd exsang is always used with vanish to line up empowered garrotes

real bay
#

if fight lenght allows you the 3rd vendetta/vanish stack then it's worth it

weak creek
#

pandemics should be fine outside of vanish exsang

obsidian girder
#

@weak creek okay great then i found my mistake ^^ first like @real bay sait i didnt refresh buffed garrote with buffed garrote. i just let it ran out and refreshed it then so i lost 5.4s pandemic. second mistake was i finished vendetta window with vanish+buffed garrote. so all my garrotes werent buffed by vendetta.. im dumb ._. but thanks alot guys<3 will change that

weak creek
#

np

real bay
#

some weakauras will help a lot with this stuff

#

and dot tracking on multiple targets like 2nd boss

strange python
#

Is there any WAs that differentiate between normal and emp garrote? The one for my feral druid does that

#

Or maybe I can just set that up myself

real bay
#

yes

obsidian girder
#

that would be great.. a little greendot or something would already be enough to see if a new garrote would be better than the one on the boss. like feralbleedings ๐Ÿ˜„

solid nova
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
solid nova
#

Afaik Mizeroks does

strange python
#

I'm using Afenar, but I'll check out the others. Would be cool with a red border on garrote or something when it's empowered

#

Mizerok's says "EMP"

solid nova
#

I couldnt recommend learning WAs yourself enough, its such a useful thing to be able to do. Takes no time at all as well

#

Then you can all sorts of personal additions etc

vestal wren
#

iirc details even allowes you to create weakauras without a lot of learning, never looked more into it tho

strange python
#

Yeah, should've gotten into that before the raid started when I had some time

sinful lotus
#

Hello fellow rogues ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I was scrolling up and reading some comments on Parsing etc... This will probably sound like a dumb question, but how important is fight length for a Parse? I assume, the shorter the fight, the better the chance for a good parse as the boss may still die while you're coming down from a solid Burst or CD window? The reason I'm asking, is I can't for the life of me get a good %IL parse on Champions (on Heroic). I've looked at the Timelines/Cast/Rotation of some top Parsing Rogues on WCL and I see them open on Adds, switch to boss, maintain a few dots on Adds, kill boss and end with some nice results.

solid nova
#

Fight length is a factor yeah

#

But as for fine details that would be down to the log itself

obsidian sierra
#

good morning guys, is there anywhere a list that provides info how mich titan residium i can receive on which source?

#

thanks

real bay
#

either very short or long enough to get CDs 2nd time at least

quick ice
#

I believe the wowhead guide gives all the details on TR?

sinful lotus
#

(I'm Fuzz)

obsidian sierra
#

ok thx @quick ice will google that one

sinful lotus
#

52% for IL

#

I'm sure i've made mistakes. Our fight was a little over 3 mins, other top Parses for rogues are 1-2 Mins. Not sure how much of a factor that is.

solid nova
#

Not sure what that opener is mate ๐Ÿ˜„

#

You can line second pot up with vend too

quick ice
#

I think the opener was him opening with garrote on all the adds?

sinful lotus
#

Yea I have SS so saw other rogues using GG on the ads, then 3rd G and Rup on boss

high siren
solid nova
#

And your 2nd vanish + vend isnt lined up

sinful lotus
#

Yes, not lining 2nd pot with Vend was definitely a mistake

solid nova
#
  • 2nd pot
sinful lotus
#

that as well

solid nova
#

Would have helped

sinful lotus
#

Do you vanish GRG then Vend, or Vend then Vanish GRG?

strange python
#

Where do you see the opener? ON the timeline?

sinful lotus
#

Timeline/Casts

solid nova
#

What are the demon hunters doing btw?

strange python
#

Ok, ty. Having the same issues as you and learning a lot here

quick ice
#

@solid nova they died

#

looks like when the tank went splat, one got meleed

solid nova
sinful lotus
#

@strange python ๐Ÿ˜ƒ It's rough lol. I checked the timelines/casts for a bunch of rogues and tried to immitate their pulls. (@solid nova) pointed out some interesting mistakes i've made, so I'll work on those ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

quick ice
#

the other got meleed then died from incidental

fluid rampart
#

For AOE, do I garrote x3 then rupture finisher -> FoK -> Envenom

strange python
#

Lol, it's not that bad. I was looking at the wrong rogue at first @sinful lotus

sinful lotus
#

We're a casual guild, and that wasn't a great pull ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

real bay
#

best pulls happen when it's a wipe

sinful lotus
#

But just to confirm, to line up Vend + Vanish and Pot. Do you Pot Vend and then Vanish GRG TB? Or Pot Vanish, GRG Vend TB?

#

@real bay unfortunately that's true ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

solar rose
#

It also matters on what strat your using, most high parses are not spreading the adds on this fight and just tank them on top of the boss and just keep hitting boss. Using all healing cds on the big AoE and kill before next

real bay
#

When you actually kill the boss the opener goes to shit and you get 0 envenom crits

sinful lotus
#

@solar rose Ah i didn't know that. My guild tanks the adds way way on the far side, opposite the boss.

#

So really impossible to maintain Dots on the adds while hitting the boss

#

Anyway, need to step away from the keyboard,thank you all for the help/feedback!

night vale
#

I did okay dps on our champions mythic kill, pretty much just opened with 2 emp. garottes on adds and 1 on the boss, then just did my ST rotation on the boss.... finished around 23k? iirc

but my boss tanks adds miles away from boss

real bay
#

is there any reason to tank them far other than the hammers you just avoyd

dusky tiger
#

hi guys, what do you think about the master assasin build if you have DD,TC, and NP on all pieces?

real bay
#

tanking them far just sounds like an annoyance in general

night vale
#

@real bay maybe consecrations on the ground from the adds too

#

im not entirely sure tbh

real bay
#

yeah just don't tank them directly on boss

#

sometimes tanks are weird

vestal wren
#

i have very bad experience with tanks and tanking in general

#

and uptime is quite essential on subtlety so it matters even more there

#

but usually throwing a decent hint helps

real bay
#

many tanks could use a few raids as dps pov

#

how annoying is that shit sometimes

vestal wren
#

just put in more ranged dps and be fine, they usually dont lose sth with bad tanking

real bay
#

yep

night vale
#

i'd like to think that would work in my guild fuu.... but i doubt it.

They seem to have all the tactics sorted already and don't really want to deviate unless necessary (which i understand to a certain extent)

They 100% wouldnt change a tactic so i could do more DPS on champions :p they dont care about dps too much

real bay
#

tell them it's easier to interrupt close adds ionAddons

vestal wren
#

just throw in a decent hint like
"WHO ON EARTH WOULD TANK THAT SHIT SO THAT THE MELEES CANT DO DAMAGE, ARE YOU PURPOSELY CRIPLYING OUR DPS TO NOT KILL THE BOSS?"
(btw i am just joking)

night vale
#

hahahha :p

solid nova
#

A tank who tanks with the dps in mind is a thunder buddy for life

real bay
#

have to give the ranged dps a chance

#

indeed

night vale
#

yeah that just what those ranged dot classes need to make them competitive this tier ๐Ÿ˜›

nimble tartan

opulence is actually such a cool fight

zinc zephyr
#

Is bleed or poison build superior now in m+?

high siren
#

@night vale what role is your RL playing ?

night vale
#

Warlock

high siren
#

aw, funny he doesn't care about dps

#

we have a boomie as RL, and optimizing dps is fundamental for him

night vale
#

yeah its more that i think he's worried that people will ignore mechanics if they try to max dps, so wants everyone to be setting a good example

solid nova
#

Ive got a secret for him

#

You can do both colonD

high siren
#

yeah, think about the fact you're raiding in mythic, which implicitly involves that people should be able to play mecanics AND do their optimal dps

solid nova
#

Optimising dps while working around mechanics = cleaner kill

vestal wren
#

i mean our rl send me through early on mother even tho i was with that dissadvantage by far the first in dps throught he whole tier

#

a lot of ppl in rl positions are not good, and there is often not much you can do about it

#

either they respect your opinion and work with you or you need to find sth better

night vale
#

yeah agreed, and true, problem is when people ignore the mechanics for the fat logs ๐Ÿ˜›

royal lantern
#

raidelead that knows that rogue CC has a cd?

#

that would be my wet dream

#

i think i need too explain atleast 3x each week that sap is from stealth only on enemys that are not in combat, cheap shot is stealth only, kidney shot needs CP and has a 20sec cd

vestal wren
#

you forgot blind

royal lantern
#

fking blind on agramar

#

BLIND STAR

#

yeha ok, but i have a 2min cd, you should maybe let somone else do it in case somone fucks up

#

WHY IS STAR LOSE

#

(meanwhile the warlock is spamming dots on everything too pad the meters)

vestal wren
#

ye wcl creates some very fun situations

real bay

big brain, use the worst cc possible ionsadhours

vestal wren
#

"okay who of the healer has a cd up"
\all healers looking away bc. they all used their big raid cd on the first slight drop together\

real bay
#

ok maybe shockwave or stormbolt was worse

royal lantern
#

tbf, healers do that too look good on the HPS

#

but yeha, it sucks^^

vestal wren
#

and thats not uncommon

#

also i liek if rl's go like "oh ye well we have a 30 man raid on a tough fight".... "i guess 3 healers will be suefficient"

high siren
#

๐Ÿ˜„

royal lantern
#

atleast our fking warlock got benched after he didnt enter the living bomb circle 10x in a row because he had the trinket where you get a crit boost when no teammates are nearby

#

WHY IS IT ALWAYS A WARLOCK

real bay
#

lmao

#

what if, you use a different trinket for a boss like that

royal lantern
#

or just do it right and stack with everyone cus its mythic and you need too do the mechanics

real bay
#

that or gtfo

royal lantern
#

i use too many bad words again

vestal wren
#

i experienced (btw. in a guild) stuff ppl do for logging that is insane, e.g. on opulance we had dh/warriors not putting golden shit outside and rather drop it in melee

real bay
#

yea we had a crap pool in melee too

royal lantern
#

yeha, atleast my rl is slowly starting too sort those people out

question for m+ i simmed myself with dungeon slice and haste comes out on top by a long way.

However lots of people say to ditch haste for m+ ?

what should i do?

solid nova
#

The haste value in dungeon is slice is because it tries to account for bosses

#

But it is slightly over valued

royal lantern
#

haste is our best stat for single target right now, but you spend most time in dungeons doing aoe stuff, wich takes value out of haste

solid nova
#

Dungeonslice is a good starting point but with experience of the dungeons and your group you should tweak as you go tbh

night vale
#

okay thanks a lot guys ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rose perch
#

yeah i think moving out of haste on fortified weeks and back in a little on tyrannical is a good play

pallid spruce
#

what are you using crimsom tempest or poison bomb, teseted several times both and poison bomb feels like better so far at least for reaping

rose perch
#

I use almost exclusively CT - PB in KR and Temple sometimes

night vale
#

i prefer PB for reaping... only cause they melt in my group.... so CT doesnt have time to work most of the time

delicate spade
#

Hello guys, this is my first time posting here so I'm not entirely sure if I'm ontopic (if I am please suggest the correct channel).

I simmed my character and it currently sits around 19k dps ST. However yesterday we did stormwall blockade hc with my guild and my dps in that fight (16k) sucks compared to my sim. Can someone help me in order to identify what exactly did I do wrong? I used wowanalyzer which mentioned that both garrote and rupture had 96% uptime yet my top dps skill is melee? I'm really confused and don't know where/what to look. Any help would be really appreciated!

lament dove
#

sim dps is like hitting a target dummy for 5 min with buffs, it simulates a patchwerk fight where you don't have to move and do everything perfectly

solid nova
#

Yeah, Sims will always assume perfect conditions

vestal wren
#

patchwork is basically a target dummy fight

#

but you can write your own fight scripts so

delicate spade
#

I'm aware about the perfect conditions with sims. However I had better equipped gear compared to the other two rogues and they both did 3k more dps than me so I must be doing something wrong

rose perch
#

post your log!

lament dove
#

that's probably true then:)

delicate spade
rose perch
#

looks like you had to stop dps on your boat for a while which hurts a lot

real bay
#

you have a lot less Mut casts than the highest rogue

#

91 vs 115

sinful lotus
#

@rose perch Hey, saw your comment about moving to or from certain stats depending on the M+ affixes. Do you have completely different gear sets? or do you re-gem/re-enchants/re-forge all of your gear?

rose perch
#

well with EB i'm pretty much always gemmed/enchanted crit

#

but i had some like crit/haste 385s and crit/mast 385s that i'd swap between

sinful lotus
#

But do you use you EB gear in raids?

rose perch
#

oh no

#

can't get away with that unfortunately lol

#

i can't at least

sinful lotus
#

Do you feel like your DPS on boss suffers a lot if you go full SS EB for M+?

delicate spade
#

The reason I stopped dps was because the RL called for everyone to stop so I didn't have any choice regarding this

strange python
#

I normally do top dps on bosses and I have 3xSS 2xEB. @sinful lotus

sinful lotus
#

Yea? I assume your AoE/trash dps must be insane as well?

rose perch
#

it's less than if you don't have EB for sure but it's definitely worth

#

to run the trait

#

for M+

#

like you sacrifice boss damage but you can't just do M+ for boss damage M+ is so rarely single target dps checks

sinful lotus
#

Ok, thanks for the info ๐Ÿ˜ƒ don't have an alternative gear set for M+ yet, but once I do, I'll hopefully be able to put together an SS EB set ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rose perch
#

yeah definitely if raid is your priority

#

then just use your raid gear in M+ and you'll be fine ^.^

sinful lotus
#

Ok cool! Thanks!

rose perch
#

but if you're looking for the best possible thing to do in M+ well 1) play outlaw but 2) ya EB is great

strange python
#

I have 2x Sets already (lucky+nerd). 3xDD, crit haste heavy for raid. 3xSS 2xEB crit mastery heavy for m+

sinful lotus
#

lol, i tried outlaw (and most likely because I'm bad at it) the results were embarassing.

rose perch
#

@delicate spade another problem here is refreshing/overwriting your shrouded garrotes

sinful lotus
#

Do you pretty much want to stack Brigand and Deadshot for M+?

rose perch
#

it happened a few times looks like - make sure you let them fully bleed out

#

@sinful lotus 1 wits, 3 deadshot, 0-1 blitz, 0-2 TC, 0-2 ace

delicate spade
#

I see, thank you for your insight

any benefit to rolling orc for racial + on use trink + vendetta?

Are you running outlaw?

yeah for m+, sin in raids!

strange python
#

on assass

rose perch
#

i think all the races are pretty close for sin, not worth changing it for anything imo

#

for m+ being a belf is pretty high value

#

for torrenting stuff like in KR

#

ah i see, i wondered why i still see belfs since the change. im undead for looks - they are so damn cool

rose perch

being any race for looks is perfectly valid imo

Alright, i'll check it out, thanks ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

rigid mango
#

Is it worth waiting with TB just so I don't waste one CP

#

Wowanalyzer is telling me not to

rose perch
#

ya just fire it off on CD because if you're at 5 CP then you're about to affect an envenom with it so that's good value too

#

or better yet see that it's coming up soon and don't mutilate at 3cp, just pool for a bit

rigid mango
#

Yeah that's what I'm trying to do, but sometimes shit doesn't line up

rose perch
#

ya with TB whenever things don't line up just press the button it's fine

#

way more dps lost by missing a cast of it

lament dove
#

imho whatever you do just pool some energy before TB comes off CD, that way you can surely envenom at least twice into it, even if you use it at 0 CP

night vale
#

what would you do if you find yourself in a sitation, where TB is coming off CD and ruputure has like 7 seconds left?

real bay
#

refresh rup and delay TB for like a second or two

spice surge
#

Dont delay tb

lament dove
#

I would refresh rupture

spice surge
#

Just refresh rupture

real bay
#

also how much energy you have and CP matters

rose perch
#

ya i always just tb there and refresh rupture during

rigid mango
#

Isn't the goal to always get two envenoms during TB window?

solid nova
#

Its better to refresh then let it drop off

rose perch
#

ya but the mainer goal is to not miss any TB casts

solid nova
#

^

rigid mango
#

So would it be worht to G and Rup preemptivly before TB comes up just so you acn get both envenoms off?

#

even if it's not optimal time to refresh

solid nova
#

Not outside of pandemic

#

Refresh during if you have to

rose perch
#

yeah the least bad of all the options is to just press TB on cooldown and refresh bleeds during

pallid spruce
#

what combo u would use dice + dead eye spy glass both 400 item lvl and spyglass has socket or dice 400 item lvl + dread gladiator medal 370 item lvl with socket

I have 415 Dice. 400 GCB, Dead-eye and Plumage. For ST with DD and TB they sim almost exactly the same
What should I use? That will give me most value in real gameplay, not a sim?

arctic harness

Plumage works well in m+ and lines up with Vendetta

spice surge

Gbc is the only one with actual gameplay limitation

So use any of the other 3

can I find a bis gear list somewhere?

like what gear to farm for assa

eager kernel

depends on ur statsweigths

there isnt really a bis list anymore these days since all the titanforging etc.

it's all based on luck

except azerite

but generally haste will always be the stat ur mainly lookin for

Kinda

eager kernel
#

yeah

strange python
#

is mastery/crit still better in m+?

#

well I know all the titanforging and stuff but arent there still pieces with bis stats, so for example some wrists from some dungeon, so I farm that till they drop titanforged?

#

or do I just spam random dungeons?

eager kernel
#

some dungeons will always be better to farm then others

lone junco
#

if you want to do M+ you need to raid and do M+ and wq boxes.

#

40% crit is a great number

@eager kernel which dungeon?

#

like which trinkets are best rn anyways, forget what the website was called where you look it up

arctic harness
#

At the moment its best to look at your weakest item and see which dungeon drops the best upgrade according to your statweights

eager kernel
#

Herodamage or bloodmallet for trinket sims and azerite

#

and freehold is a good pick like erttu said

#

+its one of the better/funnier ones to imo aswell

Rupture, Garrote, Toxic Blade, and Vendetta all have 2s remaining. I'm at 5cpt and 40 energy. My gut is that I should get the buffed envenom, letting the rupture/garrote fall off for a second or two.

I imagine the math is pretty simple. I just need to so the break even between the extra envenom damage vs X seconds of bleed

night vale
#

is there a guide out there that covers the rotation in more detail, i.e in m+ with certain traits when to use FoK etc.

verbal mantle
#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
night vale
#

yeah ive seen that one, but i was looking more for specifics, like how many targets to FoK @ with EB trait

verbal mantle
#

3+ I guess

night vale
#

see i've heard people say 2+ so was just wondering if it was covered anywhere, no worries ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

verbal mantle
#

the guide says :
Fan of Knives, if there are 3 or more targets and you want to refresh or apply poisons to targets that are not poisoned
Fan of Knives, if there are 4 or more targets

night vale
#

yeah but that changes with the EB trait id imagine

sturdy python
#

With eb traits it changes. I cant remember if you fok on 2 targets with only one trait or it takes more though

verbal mantle
#

mmh indeed

sturdy python
#

On Jan 22nd Seli stated "2+ with eb"

#

So seems one trait is enough

elder gulch
#

Thatโ€™s probably only worth it with a certain amount of crit too

marble hemlock
#

depends on a variety of stats

#

generally, fok on 2+ with EB. fok is more damage/energy, while mutilate generates more cp/energy, so depending on what youre going for use the respective ability

#

i.e. if youll have to refresh bleeds soon, it might be better to use a few mutilates to generate the required CP quickly, and then go back to fok

verbal mantle
#

Should definitely ping something related to this kind of questions

sturdy python
#

Danke, Mr cat man

verbal mantle
#

ty for insights

night vale
#

Thanks a lot ๐Ÿ˜„

marble hemlock
#

well, its a very simplified answer

#

since the answer changes depending on gear

verbal mantle
#

indeed

marble hemlock
#

say youre running a TTK or two, that means the value of generating CP over raw damage from your builders becomes more important again

verbal mantle
#

makes sense, so mut is better in your case

marble hemlock
#

i wouldnt know

#

and i dont think any modeling really allows for an apt comparison

verbal mantle
#

anw we have the big picture of it

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

someone smarter than me could probably develop a model and create a graph that compares mut and fok on 2 targets and calculates a crit-threshold

#

pretty much, ye

sturdy python
#

Feelycraft!

#

Oh

marble hemlock
#

its entirely feelycraft

verbal mantle
#

I never pull small kappat

sturdy python
#

I still run in groups that pull one pack at a time in every dungeon

#

Fun times

verbal mantle
#

depends on the key lvl I guess but yeh

marble hemlock
#

the only thing i can say with confidence, is that if youre running at least 1 EB, no matter whether you still muti or fok, the difference is gonna be very very minor

night vale
#

right so if you have at least 1 EB... then 100% you should be FoK'in on 3+ and maybe on 2+ depending on gear

copper kestrel
#

Read the guide, still iffy on comboing Vanish with Vendetta. I run Sub w/ no SS.
Based on the opener, Vanish comes up halfway through my second Vendetta. Should I immediately Vanish+Garrote, regardless of pandemic timer?

marble hemlock
#

pretty much snimo

sturdy python
#

Your vendetta should come off cd ~20s before vanish @copper kestrel

#

So you hold vendetta for when vanish comes off cd for the second set, after that they line up

strange python
#

You Line up your cd at 2m20sec then 4m20 etc

copper kestrel
#

Got it!

#

And then do I vanish>garrote right before Vendetta or right after?

sturdy python
#

Believe you'd vanish garrote to Max pandemic then vendetta

copper kestrel
#

makes sense

sturdy python
#

Since garrote will be 24s long and vendetta lasts 20, get Max time inside it

copper kestrel
#

Final question :)
If TB comes up <10s before Vendetta. Should I still use it on CD (so I won't have it during the Mut+Envenom spam). Or is it worth holding at that point?

small island
#

what % crit should i aim for in m+?

#

30%?

primal gazelle
#

the real question is, why dont you already have 3eb?? ๐Ÿ˜›

sturdy python
#

Probably depends just how long you're holding and how long the fight is blaq. Holding tb for 10s twice is basically a lost cast over a long enough fight

real bay
#

dont believe its worth holding TB for that long, in my experience TB lines up pretty well with Vendetta

harsh shadow
#

Do you always go for the traits that sim the highest or is it different with Shrouded Suffocation (cause on warcraftlogs there are literally 95% running at least 1 SS trait )?

plain thistle
#

we use what we have, second week ๐Ÿคท

#

dont think everyone has every azerite they want yet

silent silo
#

When you guys say use it on CD are you guys using it the second it gets up or are you pooling a bit before to make sure you get 2-3 envenoms

sturdy python
#

On CD. Do any pooling before

#

To illustrate it a bit, if you hold tb for just 5s Everytime it's up you'll lose a cast in a fight that's only ~3 mins long or so

silent silo
#

Yea I have a bad habit of tb is coming up but my bleeds are about to fall off so then I end up pooling while tb is usable. Should i still use it on CD then?

copper kestrel
#

Got it. So best to think of it in lost cast terms. 10s was the extreme. I'd expect it to look more like ~5 (if it all). Which should never be a lost cast with <10min fights

real bay
#

imo its a good habit to keep your energy kinda pooled always to a certain point unless you know you will have to move and cap before getting back on boss, just makes TB windows easier to manage

brave gyro
#

I mean, you only need to pool when TB is coming off cd, but i agree, always good habbit

sturdy python
#

5s would be lost cast over a fighter over 3 mins or so, don't know exact number. That's only if you're doing it every time of course. If you're just doin it on a fringe case with vendetta it's probably fine but more often than not tb will just come off CD inside vendetta

#

Shyach, the play is to just make sure that doesn't happen. You can't let bleeds fall off so keep them up

silent silo
#

Yea doesn't happen too often for me but kind of sucks when you see like 5 seconds left on your rupture and tb is up lol

sturdy python
#

Yeah, just try and pay attention if your rupture is ever similar time left as your tb CD. If so just make sure you have energy and cp ready to pandemic rup asap so you can make use of tb

#

I suck at it, sounds nice though

frigid notch
#

So I am trying to get better at this game and have been trying to figure out macros. Do people not give up their macros generally? Are they basically like trade secrets?

wary ice
#

im psure the guides have "common macros" in them

vestal wren
#

no secrets, there are just not a lot of macros required

wary ice
#

I think the only macro i have is trinket + vendetta for when im using a 2 min cd trinket

#

(which isnt often)

sturdy python
#

Yeah def no secret macros MonkaSub

wary ice
#

Doesnt Sub still need a Shadow Dance macro to avoid backstabbing the first global?

frigid notch
#

Yeah I've looked at guides. I'm just confused on why some don't work I guess... I've nevr tried to make macros before

vestal wren
#

yes sub uses some macros

trail bronze
#

I have one that is either tb or exsang depending on talent choice and one that is kidney or cheapshot depending on stealth state but those aren't game changing

vestal wren
#

my old guide is still up and should have them

wary ice
#

n->select outlaw is my favorite cast sequence tbh

sturdy python
#

I've still noticed I backstab if spamming it too quickly though

strange python
#

outlul

wary ice
#

@frigid notch what do you mean they dont work?

frigid notch
#

@wary ice I figured I'd be able to cast like garrote and mutiliate together but like i said im new to this lol

wary ice
#

nah

#

Macros dont break the game lol

#

Macros were bigger in the past when most of your damage buffs were off the Global Cooldown

#

Now that most damage buffs are on it, we cant stack DPS buffs instantly as much anymore

#

Hence "not a lot of them are needed"

#
/cast vendetta```
#

thats a useful one

#

Probably spelt wrong

#

but it uses your major cooldown with item slot 13

#

(ie trinkets)

#

Useful for when you have something like the feather from atal

#

that gives stats on a 2 min cd

frigid notch
#

ah okay

#

thanks for the insight, appreciate it

wary ice
#

Most other macros are like things for quality of life

#

like you can make it so shift+[kick bind] will kick a focus target so you dont have to swap your DPS target

#

which is super nice in Keys

#

I'm sure there are youtube tutorials on BFA macros that can explain it better

ember pulsar
#

Is it worth getting triple SS instead of 1 or 2 SS with 1 DD and TTK

odd hatch
#

That would be pretty brolic in a fight where you can reliably keep two garrotes up or in mythic+, but if it's pure st having more DD/TTK will likely pull more

odd hatch
#

Is the reason for doing garrote garrote for the opener in ss rather than garrote rupture garrote because it will give you one more env in the vendetta window and line up with when garrote is falling off? Is that superior in terms of smooth play alone or both that and dps?

royal lantern
#

you should do garrote rupture garrote

odd hatch
#

I guess the main question would be if an extra 2s of empowered garrote + the 1 tick of rupture you'd get is not worth the boost on 1 env from vendetta

royal lantern

3x garrote is only for aoe

vast forum
#

tbh i think popping that GCB earlier for a few faster garrote ticks before exsg could prove slightly more valuable

primal gazelle
#

but you would lose exsang value of garrotes if they were "ticked faster" via gcb before exsang application

odd hatch
#

Would gcb speed stack with exsang if garrote didn't fall off during ex's duration?

#

Haven't used either of them so legit don't know

sturdy python
#

Not sure what you mean. Haste causes dots to tick for more. If you GCB>exsang the bleeds snapshot your haste when you hit exsang meaning GCB bonus lasts the entire bleed duration

odd hatch

Totally forgot that exsang snapshots not gonna lie

#

Man that was a dumb question then

swift prism
#

So I keep seeing people simming here with like 17-18k dps at ilvl 385+

ah fosho

Also, the opeer has 3 targets

swift prism
#

right right

hollow stone
#

And on top of all that, sin is not an ilvl spec because of how low agi value is. Its all about traits, mh weap, trinkets, n sockets

#

So a lower ilvl as sin is not as detrimental as it is for many other classes n specs

swift prism
#

Oh? I was not aware of this

royal lantern
#

im 401 and sim lower then some people here with 396 cus my stats are all over the place right now

What i mean by that is basically a lower ilvl piece with the right traits is gonna be better than a higher ilvl piece with bad traits; same applies for stats

#

Yee

swift prism
#

That is irritating

hollow stone
#

Unlike frost dk, for example, where str is very important and all their secondaries are close in value. A fdk will pretty much always use the highest ilvl pieces available to them (with a few exceptions)

some other guy when you scroll up has the same sim with 393

big difference between SS/Subt. and the suggested DD/NP/MA setup in an realistic raid scenario?

hexed sail

on like 10 targets, with 2EB and CT talented. Do we CT as soon as we reach 5cp ? (given that we already have the optimal amount of bleeds up to sustain FoK spam)

primal gazelle
#

i know at 3 EB with CT, you only refresh CT and not spam it, not sure with 2 EB. I'm sure you can just do the math tho. Look at initial hit of CT dmg, compare that to 1 cast of FOK (add some value for EB procs)

Im still hoping i get a berserker juju at 400 socket.

bleak spoke
#

keep hoping xd

lone junco
#

you can /use/use it with GCB

bleak spoke
#

wait

#

what

lone junco
#

I have a 345 maybe that was = = fathoms after i adjusted the APL to use it with GCB

bleak spoke
#

wtf

lone junco
#

GCB is a ground buff, and juju is a haste buff. for some reason you could double mash with a macro

#

both 1min

bleak spoke
#

how fast do you go with it

#

and it's hella... unspecific the tooltip

junior aurora
#

the fastest

lone junco
#

i took a screenshot at 104% haste

bleak spoke
#

wtf

lone junco
#

was lust + gcb + juju

junior aurora
#

what was that exsang snapshot dps lol

bleak spoke
#

thats like literally having 2 sets of extra bleeds in your vendetta window

lone junco
#

so big picture here, the haste is just E return not more SS dps.

bleak spoke
#

oh?

lone junco
#

mastery buffs bleeds.

#

haste increases tick rates a bit.

#

but haste is a monster for Static E. and Tick rate E.

bleak spoke
#

oh okay

#

i thought you'd get many more ticks of the bleeds out with 104% haste

lone junco
#

some. but it didnt scale like I wanted.

junior aurora
#

is it even worth it for the energy then

lone junco
#

I think it was 0.4sec ticks.

bleak spoke
#

in exsang?

lone junco
#

If you Cap e given gcd then no.

#

I took some snippys of it back in september.

bleak spoke
#

i find that i'm capping energy with galecallers and lust tho

#

even though it does feel really really nice to use

lone junco
#

but tldr get a 400 juju, and we can make it work.

junior aurora
#

ive since swapped to a MA build that i like a lot more but definitely feeling it on energy

ember forum
#

what boss are you using galecallers?

lone junco
#

all.

ember forum
#

galecallers is like trechorus , its only good on sim

bleak spoke
#

yes.

lone junco
#

but i dont have a better trinket

bleak spoke
#

no it's not

ember forum
#

in a perfect world, its good

bleak spoke
#

galecaller's is amazing

ember forum
#

lol

#

show me the logs

bleak spoke
#

at least in dungeons for me

ember forum
#

unless your tank, is keeping the boss stationary EVERYTIME its up

#

you lose dps

junior aurora
#

running 2 nothing personals monkey?

ember forum
#

you need to have a 95% active rate on it

#

for it to be good

#

im running 3 sadly

#

3DD, 3NP

junior aurora
#

says you got a treacherous covenant

ember forum
#

thats just what topgear

junior aurora
#

ah

lone junco
#

still have single trait shoulder.

#

boo

ember forum
#

that trech is a NP

junior aurora
#

guess your only option is a SOB instead

lone junco
#

I tried 2dd 1ss but it was pretty limp.

#

sim was great. but i didnt enjoy

junior aurora
#

yeah i swapped to 2 dd/1 eb instead and went MA

ember forum
#

Im enjoying playing master assasin

lone junco
#

Ill stick to 2ss subterfuge.

ember forum
#

33DD, 3NP im bursting for 70k without lust

junior aurora
#

im much more consistent in my parses now

lone junco
#

2ss 2np 1tc

#

or something

bleak spoke
#

in an ideal world with MA you'd get like 3 DD 1 NP and 2 TC right?

junior aurora
#

yeah

lone junco
#

3s50% ma is so limp compared to shoulders.

ember forum
#

TC sucks

lone junco
#

big meh from me.

ember forum
#

works in like 50% of the dungeons

#

and on like 3 bosses in the raid

bleak spoke
#

the shoulders were the lego from last expac right?

#

didn't play legion haha

ember forum
#

not be fooled by a sim sitting infront of a dummy taking 0 dmg and never having to move

lone junco
#

yeah. 100% 5 -6 sec.

bleak spoke
#

wtf that's big dam

junior aurora
#

its either run a TC or run a 2nd NP for me

lone junco
#

right.

#

sub turned that into a massive vanish Dfa SS SS EV SS

ember forum
#

@junior aurora do you raid mythic?

lone junco
#

MONGO dps

junior aurora
#

no

ember forum
#

do you do high keys?

autumn stag
#

Bleed counter addon anyone?

ember forum
#

like 19s +?

junior aurora
#

no

ember forum
#

then TC is fine for you

lone junco
#

@autumn stag wa?

ember forum
#

I should announce that im strictly speaking on Mythic Raid / High Keys

lone junco
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
lone junco
#

I use Mizerok

autumn stag
#

thanks

junior aurora
#

yeah TC is really good imo for most players then

#

if you can prevent taking damage regularly

shy axle
#

do you switch between SS/Subt and ST-traits/MA on per fight basis in BFD or just going one route for everything?

royal lantern
#

how do you handle it with master assassin when vendeta and vanish is up but toxicblade is on a ~10sec cd?

#

wait for tb or use?

ember forum
#

like Normal / Heroic BoD (raid) you never take extreme amount of dmg. mind you theres alot of AoE dmg, but you can feint it off

bleak spoke
#

shouldn't you wait for tb

#

cuuz of how much of a buff that window is

ember forum
#

@royal lantern ur TB should ALWAYS LINE UP with ur vanish

#

if it doesn,t you're using it wrong

royal lantern
#

first time this expac im playing with master assassin lol

lone junco
#

is the natural timing even?

#

like oncd TB lines up at 2:05 or something

junior aurora
#

@shy axle i dont think theres a fight that SS is good on in BFD

lone junco
#

unless you are using ss for raw st

junior aurora
#

even then youd probably get more raw st from double dose

lone junco
#

pretty sure my last ss was 0.3% loss from DD

bleak spoke
#

How is everyone getting so much damage from DD

#

Am I playing it wrong

lone junco
#

and 0.3 can be made up for in 1 single mechanic run.

shy axle
#

yeah read different things, first that you are "fine" to use DD/NP/MA for all, but ravenholdt says it "might" be a goto for 2/3rd Boss. But tbh i did not raid much because of work and uni so i can`t speak from experience at least yet

lone junco
#

Oh i have to run out?

real bay
#

you cant play DD wrong unless you miss mutilate casts

lone junco
#

If you run out and delay TB by 4 sec. taadaaa

bleak spoke
#

I mean itโ€™s hard to miss mutilate casts cuz youโ€™re hated by energy

#

Gated

hollow stone
#

Haha. You know i love you @lone junco

lone junco
#

i know you know i know

junior aurora
#

i could see SS being decent on 2nd boss

lone junco
#

still have about 250 pp. cranking out orange normy parses with them by ilvl

#

lol

junior aurora
#

i cheesed my way to an orange opulence parse but thats the first time ive gotten orange this xpac

lone junco
#

I didnt enjoy uldir that much.

junior aurora
#

not at all

#

my guild downed heroic ghuun once and we stopped

lone junco
#

weird fights are weird.

junior aurora
#

all the fights ive done this raid have been good tho minus grong

lone junco
#

Ilvl gronk parse is my validation ๐Ÿ˜

junior aurora
#

grongs just boring

lone junco
#

I love patchwerk

junior aurora
#

i think opulence has been my favorite so far, but we're only 6/9 so far

bleak spoke
#

my guild makes me play lock for progress feelsbadman

lone junco
#

we got to heroic monk/wizard sky game. and it was too late to even grasp the concept

#

Stupid fucking sky portal shit.

#

I went up 2k dps from a 390 socket wep and 390 WQ offhand.

real bay
#

got a 400 wep but its for outlaw ionsadhours

lone junco
#

honestly gonna be sad if gronk winds up being just short of 2:30

#

will murder my vanish round.

junior aurora
#

mine looks so different

#

for the same fight lol

#

17% melee misses time to go farm some +hit gear

bleak spoke
lone junco
#

the 300k opulance peak i saw last week looked pretty nice.

royal lantern
#

i love master assassin

#

using vanish and getting only 2 CP โค

junior aurora
#

300k lmao

lone junco
#

opal stack delayed vanish.

royal lantern
#

feels sooooo good

junior aurora
#

i think i did 30k overall opulence for the orange parse

lone junco
#

@royal lantern yeah. Env mut FUCK Env

#

grats 2cp env.

royal lantern
#

mekka hc farm run

bleak spoke
#

they made me play red gem

#

i wanted to die

royal lantern
#

i got the first 2bombs, first 2 shrunks

#

and 2xs on vanish only 2 cp with mulitate

#

#1logs inc

lone junco
#

it could have been 100% for 3 sec. or 50% for 5 sec

junior aurora
#

i had to run red gem last week but i made the monk take it this week bc he didnt have to heal

lone junco
#

but its pretty shitty as is.

#

i m o

bleak spoke
#

they should make a dh take red gem imo they spam so much

junior aurora
#

we dont have a dh

bleak spoke
#

like autos and dot ticks don't actually stack it

royal lantern
#

dh/outlaw/fury are the best for it imo

#

sticky enough too not drop stacks and spammy

junior aurora
#

imagine if they never nerfed sub

#

and sub could have doubled down on eviscerate combos...i was getting 100k envenom crits i can't even imagine what those eviscerate crits would look like

bleak spoke
#

i still think sub might be worth trying

junior aurora
#

sub is the worst rogue spec on it according to wlogs stats

#

outlaw is by far the best

lone junco
#

for M+?

primal gazelle
#

245k evis crits were the peak of sub rog bfa

#

rip

lone junco
#

was that Zuul sub?

primal gazelle
#

ya

lone junco
#

I tried that on heroic and couldnt get the 2xfury to stop gibbing the craigs.

#

fuckers

#

My sub tornado got exactly 1 6cp combo

trim haven

Mythic Gronk

#

Good to see Loktark on there.

#

there is only 1 sin rogue there running ma /3dd. no ss

junior aurora
#

the top sin rogue tho

lone junco
#

2/28

junior aurora
#

3 NPs

lone junco
#

quite a few people still having 1ss

#

mythic opal though. Holy shit.

#

thats just 1 ss

bleak spoke
#

that's nutty :x

#

on the other hand what does it look like if we play CT

lone junco
#

that sin parse was filtered out by boss dmg.

#

best boss. not best dps.

bleak spoke
#

ah ok

lone junco
#

but I guess once you have 40% opal, you could smash some trash if the DH didnt.

autumn stag
#

How do you make a use trinket macro that doesnt spam "item not ready yet" in error speech when the trinket is on cd?

lone junco
#

I think i turn of error speech all together.

real bay
#

yes just disable it

modern smelt
#

What's error speech?

#

/s

slow mortar
#

Does MP buff DD damage?

lone junco
#

thats weird

slow mortar
#

Welp

lone junco
#

I expected MP to buff dd

#

wowhead isnt always right though.

slow mortar
#

Now to get a DD and try, also if mastery buffs

lone junco
#

same site different link. nature with EP and Mastery and TB, but no Mp

royal lantern
#

tbf, i think there is a outlaw nerf incomming

lone junco
#

I know nothing then.

#

@royal lantern is it that great?

royal lantern
#

its good, but only dh and warlock are allowed too be good most of the time

#

but yeha, it feels slightly overtuned right now

lone junco
shy axle
#

DS is that pistole shot trait?

junior aurora
#

yea

real bay
#

may give outlaw a go

#

just for lulz

echo cargo
#

triple NP O_o

royal lantern
#

the problem is, outlaws traits are too strong when you can stack them multipe times

#

3x deadshot is insane burst

junior aurora
#

3x between the eyes into a 3x deadshot proc oof

lofty chasm
#

does it matter which enchant you have in mainhand / offhand?

junior aurora
#

nope

#

just as long as they're not the same enchant

rose perch
#

there's a veeery slight benefit to having your better stat on the mh

lofty chasm
#

ok cool. my old main hand had quick nav with socket so so I will just simply keep enchants and put it in offhand

rose perch
#

yeah that's absolutely fine!

shy axle
#

@royal lantern yeah, but if you nerf outlaw, it has nothing left. Maybe it`ll stay like DH

#

Hate that there are nomore any big chances to classes before every new raid. Last was ToS if i remember correctly, since then just "ah this 3%, that 2% and cvall it a day"

real bay
#

if they nerf it they need to do the same for some other classes..

junior aurora
#

dh should be nerfed

velvet forge
#

well, yeah, but if they were going to fix DH they would have done it by now

real bay
#

yep, but they cant nerf the only dps spec the class has ionwut

rose perch
#

if any melee need nerfing it's sin and outlaw imo

velvet forge
#

well, thats true, as assassin i out dps high DHs by 20+% on 14+ keys

#

just dont tell anyone

hollow stone
#

Too bad blizz balances around raiding

velvet forge
#

@rose perch shh

hollow stone
#

Dh will live forever

ruby idol
#

The good demon hunters keep up with sin

real bay
#

they cant really balance around 5man where there is a crap load of mobs sometimes

ruby idol
#

They dont keep up with outlaw

junior aurora
#

sin just works very well in a dungeon setting

real bay
#

unless they do some magic that changes how your class works in instances/raids separately

vestal wren
#

how about sub?

ruby idol
#

Sub needs an aura buff

velvet forge
#

ya, i mean outlaw is better on reaping, by a bit but assn is better small pack and boss dmg

somber hill
#

is there a new opener for SS with subterfuge and toxic blade?

lost horizon
#

LOL oof

#

Sub

hollow stone
#

They should give the phys dmg buff to outlaw so we can finally be done with the joke that is ww monk

rose perch
#

is there any discord addon i can find that automatically reacts thistbh to everything dad says?

real bay
#

yea i think WW monk is stupid

ruby idol
#

This sin beats outlaw on boss dmg in keys meme needs to stop
