In the absence of Shuiken Combo, how does that even function correctly?

these emotes give the perfect representation of sin, i salute the man who came up with this

Goraks is the only piece with Blight?

strange python
#

@desert vault it's the only piece available at 415 with blight yes

desert vault
#

there is no blight in current raid correct?

#

so just 385 drops and Gorak?

#

the link i posted has all pieces

you mean the undead stuff?

blight sucks

@sick cradle works now, just type it again

#

Blight proc during your cds must be constant 4 cp envenoms ya?

fringe epoch
#

feels better to toxic blade before vanish imo, the crits from mut+env are much higher than tb

frigid sleet
#

w/e I do with my azeirth pieces & stats MA never comes on top compared with subt, even with 3DD

prisma monolithBOT
#

Did you remember to apply poisons?

frigid sleet
#

yes I did

#

I usually play outlaw, but if I wanted good off-spec daggers what is a safe dungeon/boss to put on sin loot spec

#

just for daggers

tropic ocean
#

tol dagor, underrot

stuck knoll
#

Anywhere you can't get one handers

#

UR has a bile so you probably want to stay outlaw

#

best race for horde m+ content? any interesting racials? thinking about switching sides

tropic ocean
#

belf good in many situations

#

Cry with me, Laught at me. I used SS Head with MA. I wanna cry. I missclicked -.-

hollow stone
#

@ionic hill on paper, probably. In reality, no. It comes down to third traits. This makes our best az: helm from champs or blockade: dd, np, op; shoulders gorak tul's (TR): dd, bbi, op; chest cephalohide: dd, ttk, op. Ending with 3dd, 1np, 1bbi, 1 ttk, 3op

#

If there were pieces w dd np/tc AND op, those would outperform the chest and probably shoulders but maybe not shoulders, bbi is stronh

dusky moon
#

@ionic hill if you look at m bod logs you'll see that pretty much every top dps has 3 NP + 3 DD

#

MA vs Subt is debatable ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

subterfuge is for garrote opener and re-cast, good for MT, okay for ST

#

MA gives you a short buff to rupture, mutilate, envenom after opener

#

if you do have ~ 3 NP + 3 DD go MA for ST

simple gulch
#

Is Assa doing well in m+?

#

I know outlaw is probably really good right now

stuck knoll
#

It can do really well Outlaw is easier to play and gear though

#

Don't let that make you think sin isn't also great

simple gulch
#

I don't like Outlaw that much really

zenith gust
#

what bothers me with assa is tanks chaining pulls and not letting me stealth between pulls when pugging.....

simple gulch
#

or tanks immediately moving the pack as soon as I get a Poison Bomb rpoc

#

proc

zenith gust
#

i dont really like it... but all the roads lead to it :/

simple gulch
#

don't like what?

lone junco
#

meh. Pb is faster and less impactful than legion

#

the restealth however. angery

dusky moon
#

@dusky moon just ran my own sims for ST.. MA gives 200 dps more on patchwerk sim vs subt

#

so use whichever opener you're familiar with

#

@simple gulch depends on the tank ability/consideration for your spec. if tanks keeps pulling mobs away from your poison bomb pool, you not gonna have a good time

#

@simple gulch similarly geared assassination vs outlaw does about the same dps over the whole dungeon duration, in my experience... sometimes you get lucky with toxic bomb procs, sometimes you do not

spice surge
#

By the time you've reacted to pb proccing it has done most of its damage already though, doesn't matter much if tanks pull away

#

Pb isn't very relevant at all anymore, the rng of assa comes from crits

dusky moon
#

yeah, it is not much in the big picture of things, but it is nice to proc on big pulls / reaping waves

cobalt gyro
#

Just run CT so you don't need to worry about rng

dusky moon
#

CT is 5% dps loss for me in the sim

#

it is not instant damage, so can't really re-apply and gain anything from it short term

#

vs EB to 5 CPs, Rupture, Tab target, repeat

#

(but i may actually try it just to see how it feels)

lost horizon
#

CT does have an instant dmg component

#

@ionic hill I play 3 np in raids

#

it's a fine build

languid ore
#

If you look at top logs most have 1 SS. A lot of the bosses you can cheese with vanish multi garrote.

hollow stone
#

@ionic hill definitely is viable. Just pointing out that 3rd traits matter enough that 3dd 3np isnt "the best" in practice because you cant get 3dd 3np with 3op

inland stump
#

just wondering if Im just unlucky or not, but you can get shrouded suffocation on 2 different rings right?

#

I read the pinned guide and it says that but still just double checking

#

want to have at the very least 1 SS trait but then sim tells me to change it into a 2nd DD trait but like no, I don't want to xD

smoky fiber
#

No but you can get 3 dd 2 np and a blightborne all with op which is almost the same thing

hollow stone
#

What chest is that?

#

The arathi wb chest?

inland stump
#

but doesn't the guide show it to be on the 5th and 4th ring ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

nvm Im stupid, didn't read the part where it said multi target, mb ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

@marble hemlock did u run toxic blade poison bomb in the 22 UR? i c u have the talents on cuz i was stalking higher r.io assassin rogues

Hey guys, any discussion between the ravenholdt MA opener which does Vanish->TB vs Dratnos' Opener which was garrote-mut-vend-tb-mut-vanish-envenom-mut(mut)-envenom?

#

I learned a lot from his videos but it's slightly different to the ravenholdt stuff

hearty jetty
#

do you hate rupture

civic palm
#

RUPTURE IS A LIE PERPETRATED BY THE MAN MEANT TO KEEP YOU DOWN!!

#

Also, cast Rupture you weirdo.

stone crescent
#

oops, forgot to write it. It was garrote-mut-rup-vend

#

xD

civic palm
#

No difference then.

stone crescent
#

There is! The ravenholdt website does the vanish before the tb, while the dratnos opener does the tb as the first global after vanish

civic palm
#

Right but there's no meaningful difference.

stone crescent
#

I think infexious does the same

#

Oh, alright

#

Thought it would be better to try and fit the 2 envenoms in rather than the tb and 1 envenom in consistently

civic palm
#

Other than offset TB by 2GCDs, which also does nothing.

#

1 TB vs 1 ENV matters in 10 second sims.

#

Not a 5min encounter, or even a minute.

stone crescent
#

Was thinking less about the offsetting and more on the usage of MA after the Vanish. The dratnos opener counts on the mut after the first envenom giving 4 Cp so you can fit a second envenom in the MA opener for the crit chance, while the ravenholdt one is more reliable in the combo point building cause youre using 2 builders instead of just 1 in the MA window

lone junco
#

higher avg vs higher rng.

#

take your pick

civic palm
#

Correct, the reason the RH opener is TB after Vanish is due to CP consistency and producing on average more DPS.

lone junco
#

or play subterfuge with 1ss+.

#

ayo

civic palm
#

ayooo

lone junco
#

afk again.

civic palm
#

thisMotherFucker

stone crescent
#

Yeah I have the option to take subterfuge cause I can choose between 1 TTK and 1 Shrouded suff atm, but wasnt sure if I should be taking it cause I felt like it wasnt enouhg to justify taking sub over MA with only 1 trait. Currently running 2 DD,2NP,1TTK,1TC

civic palm
#

It's both probably not, and not enough of a difference to matter.

stone crescent
#

kk thanks! Yeah was mostly wondering about the opener. Like if people have discussed which one was better

civic palm
#

Yeah we've settled on the current iteration of the opener for a while now, it's where the math has pointed us.

stone crescent
#

RNG vs Consistency

#

Got it, cheers.

#

Would you take 1 SS and go into sub, rather than 1 TTK and stay with MA? Always felt like 1 SS trait wasnt enouhg to justify subterfuge

#

But then again TTK isnt great ins t

#

afaik

civic palm
#

Nope. MA all day.

stone crescent
#

cool cool.

civic palm
#

At this point it really doesn't matter enough just play what you like more and don't make any awful errors.

#

Are people liking Blightborne over 2nd NP? Seems to sim higher but people are stacking NP looks like.

civic palm
#

Crits very good so people are aiming at it.

#

Decent uptime, etc.

cursive dune
#

is there a "bis" setup for m+ we want? ie 3eb 2ss etc

spiral beacon
#

why is twist the knife good in m+

cursive dune
#

^ hence my question i see a lot running it

civic palm
#

For ST.

cursive dune
#

ie tyrannical weeks?

civic palm
#

You could.

lost horizon
#

priority damage in packs

#

it's not great for meters, but you can pummel priority targets w/TTK builds

civic palm
#

Yeah it's more about being the ST DD for your group.

astral pike
#

would troll be the best race to play assassin if youre stacking nothing personal and aim to overlap the racial with vendetta?

strange python
#

maghar orc does the same

#

but better

jaunty arrow
#

its worth play Master poisoner with 3x DD and 2 np? ๐Ÿค”

strange python
#

no

#

you can sim it yourself but it simmed at a loss for my everytime

jaunty arrow
#

I sim it and ep is still better but

steep obsidian
#

its been a throway talent every since msatery started effecting bleeds this expac but who knows maybe it would scale better in some situations by end of expac

strange python
#

then you just answered your own question didnt you

jaunty arrow
#

Yep but maybe someone try it and have better dps with it its just a theoretical question

strange python
#

theoretical questions are for sims

#

you asked "hello mr sim is master poisoner good" and mr sim did the math "beep boop theory in process beep boop it's not good"

steep obsidian
#

to be fair sometimes the sims aren't always right and there is some dumb shit people find that is broken

#

but yeah its generally the best guide

tropic ocean
#

well master poisoner can be good if you have problems keeping up eb enough

#

but i'd rather fix my rotational problems then

high siren
#

what would be the ideal traits setup for pure ST?

#

3xDD, 3xNP ?

tropic ocean
#

yea

#

but any mix of dd/np/tc/bbi is fine

#

the traits are not far apart, theres even ppl with ss and ttk traits doing 100 logs on st

strange python
#

A

lethal heart
#

'logs on st'

#

there is few st fights in the raid

#

unless we're talking there purely about mekka

#

which is pure rng fiesta

#

if you log good or not

#

basically have to get 0 mechanics

real bay
#

champions is the only rngless and it's a joke anyways

high siren
#

we're talking purely about mekka idd

lethal heart
#

champions

#

oyu can cheese aswell

real bay
#

jadefire kinda too but eh

lethal heart
#

with triple ss

#

you just cheese on the adds

real bay
#

ofcourse but that's not rng

lethal heart
#

meh i guess

high siren
#

we're still in progress, not willing yet to log, only to maximize my output

lethal heart
#

but yea joke fight

real bay
#

it's just a cheese boss

lethal heart
#

all the bosses

#

you can cheese

#

besides mekka which is rng fiesta

#

to certain extent you can cheese all of them with some pepega strats

high siren
#

btw, in the situation where you have 5/5cps, and TB is about to get off cooldown in 2-3sec, do you pool and waste the cps from TB, or do you evenom before ? what's the correct move ?

lethal heart
#

you can waste cp there

high siren
#

that's what I thought

turbid stratus
#

People say 3xDD and 3xNP is ideal for St but most people on logs run 3xSS so is SS on ST affected by stats or something because it never sims better for me than DD and np with master assassin

civic palm
#

Because it doesn't, and SS isn't better for just ST.

tropic ocean
#

@turbid stratus on what boss? theres only a few fights where you mostly single target in raid, or at least as a rogue (e.g. mekka, stormwall, jaina) and even in jaina you have somewhat cleave with image/blocks
sim =//= reality, it doesn't take into consideration when you need to move (while your garrote still ticks)

strange python
#

hol' up

#

cleaving image on jaina

tropic ocean
#

@strange python ?

strange python
#

why would you cleave image on jaina?

#

useless damage

stable oxide
#

I do a rupture on the frozen balista's

#

More energy regeneration and I get energy back when the balista dies, which gives me the same effect as pooling energy, which at that point comes handy for my EB/Toxic blade

strange python
#

do you tank the boss next to them or what

#

I rupture them when I run out for ring of frost but that's about it

stable oxide
#

Rogues are very versatile, wether you spring or shadowstep

#

I've got alot of wipes on it already and I did alot of testing what works best for me :P

strange python
#

wasting sprint to rupture a frozen ballista

#

idk about that one chief

stable oxide
#

Waisting?

tropic ocean
#

theres not much usages for sprint in p1 anyways besides on ring of frost to have more uptime

strange python
#

ye I have two hundred wipes and 2 kills on it as well chief

stable oxide
#

why would you use sprint?

strange python
#

dunno

#

ring of frost

stable oxide
#

I cloak the ring of frost

strange python
#

intermission

#

oh yikes

stable oxide
#

Lol

#

intermission?

tropic ocean
#

sprint in intermisson wat

strange python
#

fair enough

#

?

stable oxide
#

you stay togeter

strange python
#

sprint cloak kick boss

tropic ocean
#

kick boss

#

lol

stable oxide
#

yeah

strange python
#

at images are down

turbid stratus
#

@tropic ocean i was just scrolling through top logs for every fight and pretty much everyone had ss

stable oxide
#

but obviously you have sprint back at that point

tropic ocean
#

@turbid stratus on what fight though?

stable oxide
#

Jaina

#

Mythic

tropic ocean
#

if you just look at general talent usage, ofc ss will be great, since theres so many cleave fights

strange python
#

run ss

#

vanish garrote the elemental

#

get top log

#

SS best trait?

turbid stratus
#

I was looking at each fight in particular

#

So every fight people had ss

stable oxide
#

I had 3DD, 1NP and 2TC on Jaina Mythic but personally 3D, 2NP and 1SS works better for me

#

and is more versatile

tropic ocean
#

well in jaina particular you'll probably pull good numbers with ss since you can use it on the elemental

#

and for fights like champions/gronk/jadefire it will ofc outdps dd

stable oxide
#

You can also do a vanish and garrote jaina + barrel on the second barrel

waxen valve
#

I think ss should be equal to dd for 5m patchwerk sim for nelf rogues. Do i miss something here?

tropic ocean
#

probably, still ss is guaranteed dmg while dd is rng dmg

#

you can have a really good one, but also a really bad one

#

but in the long run it should even it out I guess

leaden scroll
#

@waxen valve SS is gud for nelf idd, can u compare to dd on 5m patchwerk? can't sim rn

stable oxide
#

DD did around 10.50% of my damage on all the jaina wipes I had last thursday :P

waxen valve
#

Got a nelf and belf rogues. Dd is higher for both sims with same small margin so i am not sure it includes shadowmeld effect.

leaden scroll
#

@waxen valve Check the action table

waxen valve
#

Yup there is shadowmeld in action list. My 2dd+1ss is higher than 1dd+2ss only 31 dmg at 5m patchwerk. So especially for nelf rogues i assume ss is always better than dd for all bod bosses.

leaden scroll
#

If i want to cheese logs I might use 2+ SS, but I find 1 SS + 1 NP + 1 BI + 3DD the most interesting for raiding content, pretty comfy and less rng dependant, "kind of"

edgy ginkgo
#

if youre playing with 3x DD and 1x SS are you playing with Subterfuge or with MA?

leaden scroll
#

I'm playing subterfuge, sims better for me

edgy ginkgo
#

ok, thx

zenith gust
#

can u use shadow meld to get empowered garrotes?

strange python
#

ye

zenith gust
#

i thought i asked same thing months ago and the answer was no xD

leaden scroll
#

shadowmelt takes SS, not Subterfuge

#

But still a good thing to do

tropic ocean
#

oh shadowmeld doesnt trigger subterfuge? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

zenith gust
#

that would be too OP

waxen valve
#

nope it just gets ss dmg bonus

cobalt gyro
#

In dungeons you can trigger stealth off of a meld, though

acoustic sleet
#

i dont think meld gives subterfuge

strange python
#

that's what was just said

distant lava
#

????? ye what

acoustic sleet
#

i skipped the last few parts

#

โค

strange python
#

ah fai

#

pepelove

empty badge
#

God if meld triggered subterfuge..........

spice surge
#

Then ss would probably be good for st yeah

tropic ocean
#

we'll I guess in dungeons nevertheless you just get too much value out of ss, no matter that dd and stuff is ahead on bosses ๐Ÿ˜„

distant lava
#

it's also that you get almost no value from dd

tropic ocean
#

besides on single target yeah

#

I tried using 3x dd 2x np on tyran but you lose so much overall dps its not even close to be worth

distant lava
#

plus ss exsang is pretty good in burst iirc

#

haven't played assa in a while tho

tropic ocean
#

yeah, in tyran I prefer toxic blade but in my opinion the high value on exsang is that you dont need to stick to a target

#

e.g. in motherlode you can dot exsang the robot while spreading dots to the others

distant lava
#

yeah , i specially hate toxic blade aswell

misty shuttle
#

meld stealth then u get it just on trash not so much on boss fights in M+ but works on trash all day

spice surge
#

You only need a total of 4 bleeds up to not lose energy, so you probably should be envenoming the robots anyway

#

Which makes tb superb there

zenith gust
#

does garrote also fill up energy, or that's just rupture?

spice surge
#

Garrote, rupture and internal bleeding all give energy when they tick

marble hemlock
#

think he meant the energy-regain when a mob with a bleed dies

#

that one only applies to rupture

tropic ocean
#

@spice surge ofc but you can just garrote mob1 garrote rupture garrote mutilate rupture exsang robo and then continue to fok/rupture the rest

#

while already hard trimming the robot

languid ore
#

@turbid stratus noticed that too. Looked at casts on some of them and it's just garroting adds

#

Like grong you vanish, garrote grong shadowstep to add and garrote x2 for crazy damage

turbid stratus
#

yes i thought of that recently

#

that it might be worth over DD just for that extra dmg on add with vanish

#

in fights like grong

strange python
#

Or do like me and accidentally equip Opulence head with SS/TTK instead of Champions DD/NP/OP while using MA.... :( ๐Ÿ˜ญ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

RIP

#

@strange python even in weeks like this I tend to prefer 3 ss 1 bi 2 eb

#

the third eb feels kind of overkill tbh

#

and bi is great when it procs on both st and aoe

#

been playing around with it

#

I wouldn't know I can't play sin

#

ah fair

#

lol

#

I want to though

#

so I'll be doing something soon

#

today actually

#

something

#

very mysterious

#

writing a wa set instead of stealing from afenar again

#

I steal from speed's

#

then if I get a good piece in my m+ cache I'll actually play the spec lulw

marble hemlock
#

just steal from soneone, then put a WA paywall on your stream

golden relic
#

lmao

strange python
#

that's a good idea

marble hemlock
#

just play PB/TB when you start out assa in m+, rotation on aoe is much easier that way

strange python
#

I'm stealing that idea

#

that is how I'm playing ya

marble hemlock
#

can branch out into ct/exsang at a later stage once youre more comfortable

strange python
#

I know how to manage ct

#

but it just doesn't sim better

#

what build are you running at the moment

#

trait wise?

#

ye

#

I don't have a wide array so

#

ttk, 2ss, 1 scent, 1 tc or smth

#

ah fair

#

no goraks? pepehands

#

I don't even have full 415 az

#

I'm considering buying another 400 today but it's not worth

#

just gamble like a true pirate

#

ye I'm saving for 415 next week

marble hemlock
#

no eb? yikes

strange python
#

I have ev

#

eb

marble hemlock
#

ah k

strange python
#

I don't remember what piece it's on

#

shoulders

#

ss sims better

#

but I run eb there anyway

#

because 1xeb is kinda essential

#

at least that's what someone told me

#

dungeon slice sim is p bad

#

yeah

#

I wouldnt trust it

#

I want to run CT

#

I know it's big meme to do feely craft but dungeon slice is p bad

#

I like it more

#

lol haha

#

from what seli told me a few months ago

#

it's 1 trash pack of 20 seconds 1 of 40 then a boss

#

like

#

yeah

#

6 target, 4, 6, boss

#

or something

#

it's alright for pug groups with baby pulls

#

that's what my groups consist of

#

fair

#

I might just do 1 16 or a 17 this week and be done

#

can't trust players

#

Imma do 1 weekly then play sekiro

#

see if I can be benched off the full clear again

#

cba reclearing jaina

#

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

marble hemlock
#

all the ttk advice people (including myself) give is mostly aimed towards a more static group setting. for pugs, ss has always and most likely will always remain king, simply because 9/10 times the tank isnt gonna pull big, and will leave room for the healer to drink

#

which lets you restealth as well

#

and if he doesnt, asking him to not chainpull usually does the trick

#

2ss/1eb is all you need to do decently well in pugs i think

#

and the rest can be whatever

strange python
#

my one experience really with assa

#

dude would not stop chain pulling in freehold

#

ever

#

I asked him to and he told me to use vanish like it's up every 30 second

marble hemlock
#

well ye, theres always idiots

#

cant really help that

#

but so far, most people i asked nicely had no issue with making sure to let me restealth

strange python
#

it really turned me off from playing more even though I was really interested

golden relic
#

Its cuz ppl are used to playing with monkey outlaw

marble hemlock
#

even outlaw wants downtimes

mint peak
#

This game is shit if you don't play with a solid group or friends

golden relic
#

ye but re stealth wise

distant lava
#

I just yell WAIT, and it stops them for the few seconds you need most of the time

marble hemlock
#

if you pull more than 1 pack, do it immediately, dont wait until teh first pack is almost dead

#

thats tanking 101

strange python
#

< no guild, no m+group

marble hemlock
#

idk, ive had many pleasent pug experiences

golden relic
#

Haha, freehold pulls in pugs

#

"patrol is walking here, lets go fam"

marble hemlock
#

ask yourself this: when you join a pug, are you just looking to confirm your bias that pugs are shit by waiting for someone to make a mistake?

#

if you do, youre part of the problem

#

most people do that

strange python
#

I'm not waiting to confirm I'm just completely afraid

marble hemlock
#

even though mistakes happen all the time, and theyre not the end of the world

honest vessel
#

most of what SS is good for on those packs in the fast energy gen, so if you get ruptures to die with relatively high remaining time you can be ready for the next pack well even without restealth

strange python
#

mistakes are normal

marble hemlock
#

trust the people youre playing with, even though theyre just random people youll never meet again

honest vessel
#

i run two ss two eb so more of my damage is fok anyway

marble hemlock
#

if they mess up, sucks but it happens to the best of us

strange python
#

but my dude when you're a boomie and you die on the first underrot boss and the first trash pull multiple times

marble hemlock
#

focus on looking out for others to do stuff that are good instead

strange python
#

I inted my own key and left tbg

marble hemlock
#

like someone using his blind or cage to cover a missed interrupt

distant lava
#

Tbh pugs are about having the right state of mind

marble hemlock
#

good knockbacks, stuff like that

#

to reinforce the idea that pugs arent all shit

strange python
#

I had someone tell me nice gouge the other day

#

felt PirateHeart

marble hemlock
#

ye

strange python
#

I use my blind more as an interupt than as a Blind;)

tropic ocean
#

usually you don't really need much downtime to restealth anyways as long as you get a sec or 2 to get out of combat its fine

golden relic
#

I like pugs

marble hemlock
#

its so much more enjoyable when youre doing a pug and look for people playing well, than looking for people to mess up

distant lava
#

Same

golden relic
#

but thats what you get when all you kno is SNAKES

distant lava
#

I feel pike in pugs are more focused than in an organized group

#

the only thing i dislike about pugs mainly is how its relatively impossible to do even moderately intricate skips/routes

tropic ocean
#

^nah, I pugged all my score and after I reached 15s 16s everyone is in discord

marble hemlock
#

never been an issue as long as its been said before the run

honest vessel
#

and those are what im trying to learn the most personally

#

pugs in discord are totally different imo

#

voice makes them so much better

tropic ocean
#

even managed to pug 18 sots skipping all elementals carver windseeker and stuff ater 2nd boss

marble hemlock
#

like, ive had ML Pugs where the tank linked a route without deathskips

#

so healer/me just asked if we wanna do it

strange python
#

nobody ever wants to vanish skip on volkaal

marble hemlock
#

he didnt know how

#

so we showed him

#

was a smooth run

#

next time someone plays with that guy, he knows how to do the skip

strange python
#

and I want to do vanish skip

tropic ocean
#

@strange python just walk in by stones, shroud out ;P

marble hemlock
#

i couldve gotten mad at him for being a noob, but whats the point?

strange python
#

it's so fun

#

@tropic ocean takes time

#

not fun

distant lava
#

Fixed

marble hemlock
#

most people kinda choose to have a bad pug experience

tropic ocean
#

its not fixed

#

blizzard put some invisible wall

#

but they didnt make it long enough

#

cuz blizz ๐Ÿ˜„

#

you can dive under/walk along it and go in still

honest vessel
#

well there are some pugs that are just actual trash

marble hemlock
#

well sure

honest vessel
#

like you wipe once and the healer leaves the key

marble hemlock
#

but its like

#

1/30 runs

honest vessel
#

yeah but one of those is worth like 8 good runs

tropic ocean
#

you just need to not give a fuck @honest vessel

strange python
#

it depends on key level

honest vessel
#

when it comes to perception

marble hemlock
#

nah

#

i mean, everyones differnet

#

id rather focus on the things that go well

tropic ocean
#

i just did 15 ur on my twink dh dies to maggot, dies to boss green shit leaves key

#

just dont care and go on

strange python
#

the ppl queueing into my 12s aren't really trying to push hard usually and that's fine

marble hemlock
#

otherwise im kinda responsible for my own misery, when i focus on the things that went badly

honest vessel
#

well focusing on things that go badly is usually people's strategy for getting better

tropic ocean
#

raging or tilting wont make it good it just causes stress so just dgaf

strange python
#

I mean if all you focus on are th bad things... no way you enjoy M+

honest vessel
#

so it makes sense they owuld apply it to other peoples play

wary ice
#

@marble hemlock thats like the story of wow though

marble hemlock
#

why though? youre not gonna get better by focusing on things that other people mess up

tropic ocean
#

if ppl hardcore troll or are obivously boostedI just put em on ignore and go next key, worked well for me so far

strange python
#

sometimes I tilt and that's not controllable, everyone tilts sometimes

#

I rather fuck up 100 times. Have fun and learn from it. Than bitch about every single little thing. I agree 100% with Seliathan

marble hemlock
#

focus on the things you mess up, and on the things others do well

honest vessel
#

im just saying that the philosophy you hold to make yourself better is the same as what causes you to notice mistakes others make

marble hemlock
#

that way youre gonna enjoy playing with the people you play with, while also having self-improvement

honest vessel
#

just applied to others instead of yourself

tropic ocean
#

and by the time I am now friendlist is packed with ppl that did good so

#

i got a nice pool to pug with

strange python
#

I feel bad noticing mistakes

marble hemlock
#

probably a better discussion for wow-general btw ๐Ÿ˜„

strange python
#

but I never chastise about it or tilt publicly

#

only key ruining mistakes make me upset

#

and yes true

honest vessel
#

i agree that being tough on urself but patient with others is the healthy and long-term solution ofc

marble hemlock
#

in any case, not getting the restealths even though you asked the tank definitely sucks, and i can see how thats a turnoff from playing more assa in keys

strange python
#

yeah

#

it was s1 tol

#

too*

#

so not only did it turn me off from playing sin

#

I quit rogue entirely

honest vessel
#

oof

marble hemlock
#

well, the ttk build definitely relies less on restealths

tropic ocean
#

biggest turnoff is when you apply to +15 to farm trinket and get whispered "outlaw?" "no" "then bye" when you have 2,2k score ๐Ÿ˜ข

marble hemlock
#

so it makes for a smoother pug experience if the tank is ignorant

strange python
#

hate fotm culture

#

almost worse than parse culture

wary ice
#

I'm still crying from not being able to do the TTK build

marble hemlock
#

no azerite?

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

tropic ocean
#

people are such meta slave when they are playing nowhere near high end m+ =/

wary ice
#

I have 1 TTK trait

#

and its ona 370

strange python
#

I only have 1 415

marble hemlock
#

its usually more about them trying to build a group that has the most room for error. playing meta-classes helps with that

#

the problem with assa vs outlaw in particular, is that theyre both very good ๐Ÿ˜„

strange python
#

should I buy more 400s to fill out my sin repertoire

wary ice
#

Off meta classes, in my opinion, often have the problem of you need to pull with them in mind

strange python
#

or save for 415

mint peak
#

Save

tropic ocean
#

well I guess meta helps but just my personal opinion for anything under 18 19 on my twinks

wary ice
#

Like if ur running with rets and are doing constnat chain pulls of 3; they're going to super underperform

strange python
#

u got it

tropic ocean
#

i rather bring the player not the class

strange python
#

next week it is qq

marble hemlock
#

idk, probably save

#

like, im saving for specific now, so i can get goraktuls :<

strange python
#

hopefully I get 415 champ head

golden relic
#

what head do u have seli

#

or u just use opulence

strange python
#

opulence head is also really good for us too right?

golden relic
#

man no gorak tuls must be tough

strange python
#

I should probably roll for that?

golden relic
#

the life

tropic ocean
#

opulence helm shoulder rasta conclave chest is decent

#

until u get better shoulder

spice surge
#

Seli you should've listened to me when I told you to save a few weeks ago :<

marble hemlock
#

you can get a pretty good m+ setup by getting opu helmet (ss+ttk), rasta shoulders (ttk+eb), conclave chest (ss+ttk)

strange python
#

which one should I roll on hmm

#

I already have eb ttk shoulders

#

chest probably

#

my chest rn has scent of blood

#

so I'll roll on conc

tropic ocean
#

is 1x eb sufficient? I already feel lack luster with 2x on fh/ml/ur etc

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

i mean, if you wanna blast more aoe, get more eb

tropic ocean
#

probably effective/efficient dps is good but it just feels so much better to see 40k overall than 30k :/

marble hemlock
#

if big pulls die quickly enough, why try to steal other peoples aoe when you have the opportunity to get more st/cleave tho

#

the other dps may not have that option

tropic ocean
#

might get better if I up my score more

#

where people actually understand

strange python
#

when do u vendetta/tb in mt

#

after 4x rup?

#

I should probably have a vendetta/tb/exsang focus macro

marble hemlock
#

i mean, if people think you were a bad pick cause you only did 30k when others did 40, the key was still timed and theyre looking for someone to play with regularly, yet they wont take you cause of your prio instead of aoe-pad.... id say you dodged a bullet ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

past spruce
#

30k sustained?

#

St?

#

Or aoe?

marble hemlock
#

overall

tropic ocean
#

@marble hemlock well currently at 2,2k rioish it happens quite frequently

#

I pull 28-34k overall mostly with 2x eb right now

past spruce
#

Eb?

tropic ocean
#

with 3 eb I usually go 40~44k on ml/fhs

#

and ppl cry when I don't cuz outlaw goes 50kish

past spruce
#

Noob here sry๐Ÿ˜‚

tropic ocean
#

echoing blades

#

assa aoe trait

past spruce
#

I use the bomb passive

#

I s that bad?

tropic ocean
#

the azerite trait?

#

or poison bomb?

past spruce
#

Ah you talking az traits

tropic ocean
#

poison bomb is nice, but if the tank pulls the mobs spread a lot it gets less value

past spruce
#

I am still learning sry to intrpt you guys

strange python
#

It really doesn't. If PB procs and you move it has already done most of the damage. No need to ever worry about it

#

but where do u vendetta

marble hemlock
#

on trash?

#

on a prio mob, after your opener

#

basically do 3g+1r

past spruce
#

So just a opinion on the practice dummy just my gear no raid nothing enchantes runes wthever i am at 15k 3m fight at 392ilv is that okish?

tropic ocean
#

@strange python it depends on how tank pulls

past spruce
#

St

marble hemlock
#

vendetta+tb, prio into that target

#

and once tb runs out, refresh garrotes with vanish or start multi-rupturing

tropic ocean
#

@strange python if tank kites a lot and mobs are spread out poison bomb value drastically decreases

#

if everything is stacked its really good

strange python
#

@marble hemlock ๐Ÿ’Ÿ

#

do you use focus macros for priority and interrupt by the way?

marble hemlock
#

for interrupts, ye

#

also got mouseover for rupture

#

and regular rupture

#

other than that, i dont really use macros that much, assa has most of its stuff on GCD anyway

#

so macros are of less use

past spruce
#

Regular rupture?you mean not empowered from stealth?

strange python
#

nah

#

his macro does both

tropic ocean
#

you cant overpower rupture unless u use nightstalker

strange python
#

for ex

past spruce
#

Sry was thinking garrote

#

Ma bad

strange python
#

#showtooltip
/cast [nodead,harm,mouseover][] Rupture

past spruce
#

Ik sht about macros in this game why in the world they allow such athing,it takes a lot of the skill needed to play out of the equation i am having a hard time getting used to the idea of having to macro

#

Wht does that macro do?

strange python
#

when you have a mouseover Target it casts rupture on them

#

if u don't it ruptures current target

spice surge
#

Thats not really necessary though imo

past spruce
#

I need ro learn tgat cuz in pvp seems everyone uses macros

spice surge
#

sure its not bad to have, but if you're struggling with other stuff

marble hemlock
#

well, it allows you to keep less hotkeys

spice surge
#

This is so far down the list of things you need to focus on

marble hemlock
#

ideally you just have one for each option

past spruce
#

Where can a guy find a update guide on macros?

#

On my last mmo we use to make fun of nacro users,here it seems i am a idiot by not using thm lmao

strange python
#

I like mouseover

spice surge
#

As i said, from your posts here today there is a lot of other things you should be focusing on before you worry about macros imo

strange python
#

every single button I had on lock was macro

#

ye

#

but I play outlaw at a decent level so I was wondering more for convenience dungeon sake

#

less about spec

past spruce
#

I am having a hard time getting in to m+ cuz i have no idea about mechanics and ppl just want to rush and kick you out if you die from something that you nor aware of

#

Stuck at 392 fr ages now

#

No sht like 1 month lmao

strange python
#

best idea is to go on youtube and watch videos or download little wigs to flash on your screen when something is coming out

#

or just run mythic zeros and learn also

wary ice
#

past spruce
#

The mechanics change at higher m+ right?

strange python
#

no they are the same just hit harder xd

#

reaping is by far the easiest affix

#

except maybe vol

#

yeah literally the only thing that changes is reaping and just kill it haha

lethal iris

Are there any bosses in BoD that are worth using bursting blood? Or is agility pot always better?

Wont ppl get in trouble for doing that?cuz seems to me blizz has a thing for banning players that used their mistakes in self advantage

I doubt theyโ€™d do anything for brawlers guild, not the first bug people have abused

But just stun monkey, run away from the bombs, interrupt Tesla and multi dot

Iโ€™m sure itโ€™ll die, might as well use leeching poison too

Use internal bleeding and kidney the monkey too

did you use drums for bl and the agility potion from the vendor?

@thick mulch reinfested maggots putting you back in combat i suppose

no it wasn't that either, im in stealth to start the pull. Tank pulls then i just get taken out of stealth, not hit by anything either

Pandemic can someone clear this up for me?

Wht does it mean?ik its to do about refreshing bleeds

tropic ocean
#

it means you can safely refresh a dot that has 30% of its time or less left

#

and the time will get added on top of new dot

past spruce
#

Ah danke

sturdy python
#

30% of the new buff or debuff can be added on

tropic ocean
#

so if your rupture has 30% or less of original duration

#

your new rupture will get duration+duration left

sturdy python
#

Not original, itโ€™s based on the new application

#

Itโ€™s explained well in pins though, with math

past spruce
#

Question if i refresh a emp garrote with a normal one wht does that mean for the duration of the bleed?

sturdy python
#

Donโ€™t do that

#

Let the empowered run out

tropic ocean
#

it doesnt change duration, it just makes your garrote weaker

#

since it overwirtes the buffed garrote

past spruce
#

Ah

#

So emp bleeds should be refreshed at the very last second

tropic ocean
#

just let em run out to be safe, but in general yes

Only emp anything iz garrote anyway

For this week, you guys with fan builds, is tk and SS still minimal in overall damage considering Sang.?

try that same sim but also with NP on shoulders instead of BBi

#

anyone get anything good out of their cache?

#

today marked my fourth ring in a row, no repeats so far but the first two were high vers low mast

winged remnant
#

guys

#

twist the knife vs echoing blades in m+? think the priority damage is worth the loss of such a good aoe trait?

#

and 400 SS+treacherous vs 385 TTK+EB?

round harbor
#

id probly just take the SS/TC piece

#

and ttk is extrmeely overrated

#

unless your doing keys where there is actually dangerous mobs

#

and even then

#

meh

winged remnant
#

seli told me he runs triple ttk for prio danger mob damage in his really high keys

#

dont get me wrong hes definitely in higher but id say i do pretty high keys semi often

#

and thats def my aimed goal

#

why do you say its over rated though? @round harbor

round harbor
#

seli isnt 99.9% of this discord though

strange python
#

how is it overrated tho

round harbor
#

there is like 3 other people in here that do the content that he does

strange python
#

wdym

round harbor
#

the minimal prio dmg on a mob largely wont outweigh they overall dmg eb does

winged remnant
#

how high do you think you have to go where it starts to become worth it then in your mind?

strange python
#

seli isnt even that high score at this point

#

several people here do 22~'s, seli stopped hardcore pushing a while ago friend

#

and ttk is great

#

but I would play the 400 ilvl piece

#

15 ilvls is a bit of a yikes

#

and it's not like tc + ss are bad

#

SS is great

#

especially in "lower" keys

#

because your tank is most likely not as good or as comfortable so pulls tend to be smaller

winged remnant
#

i was under the impression tc is kinda ...meh. but

#

what is your opinion on what qualifies as "lower" keys?

strange python
#

I mean

#

I assume you're pugging like 15-18's?

winged remnant
#

17-20s

#

mostly

round harbor
#

anything lower than 21 imo

winged remnant
#

at the sceond

strange python
#

yeah that's what I'd call lower

winged remnant
#

im trying to find a team tbh

round harbor
#

but thats up for interp

strange python
#

do you pug or do you have a team

winged remnant
#

but like

#

most of the pulls ive done in these keys

#

are pretty big

#

and chain pullings pretty common lol

strange python
#

then try out the ttk eb piece

winged remnant
#

chain pulling is probably less common than the big pulls in itself though

strange python
#

The bigger the pulls the merrier as far as eb goes

winged remnant
#

big pulls but not chainpulling is probably the most common if im honest about it i guess.

strange python
#

SS loses value in big pulls compared to eb

winged remnant
#

does SS have a big trait stacking mechanic or is it about equal benefit everytime u add 1?

#

cuz i already have like 2 on besides that piece

round harbor
#

also seli is 2.8k, thats more than high enough to justify high level. considering 100% of that is sin

strange python
#

it's just a flat damage increase

round harbor
#

thats like top top top percentile of sin

#

among sin one tricks thats probly 2nd or 3rd

winged remnant
#

i have a 415 SS + BB vs 385 TTK + BB, im gonna guess the ilvl difference is way too big to even quation that?

round harbor
#

since most everyone has made the switch]

strange python
#

plenty of people play sin, seli is just the best sin player

its still a setting thats not going to be a regular occurence for most people asking for advice. i know that i can afford to not do as much aoe to focus on prio damage

#

because i know i can trust the players i play with to take care of that part of the equation

strange python
#

@winged remnant the fuck isbb

blightborne

#

bbi i guess

marble hemlock
#

in most pug groups, and to an extent in a lot of organized groups, you dont know whether you can trust others to carry aoe

strange python
#

oh dude

#

play bbi

winged remnant
#

theyre both bbi

strange python
#

gorak's is nutty

vast forum
#

basically, you only run TTK if you have prot warr+aoe pumper dps

marble hemlock
#

i play more SS in dungeons like KR/temple for example

winged remnant
#

atleast one is always going to be an aoe pumper, the 2nd 1 depends a bit on current pick

strange python
#

ss + bbi + op is nutty

marble hemlock
#

and id definitely play more ss/blightborne singletarget focused in a few keys if i had goraktuls, which i sadly do not have

winged remnant
#

i thought OP wouldnt be that great in m+ since haste is so devalued?

vast forum
#

@marble hemlock what do you think about 3xSS 3xTTK for nelf in KR?

marble hemlock
#

you still want 1eb

strange python
#

nah op is still great in keys

vast forum
#

i don't think 1st stack of eb is more valuable than the others

round harbor
#

even 2 eb in most dungeons is probly close to ideal

marble hemlock
#

ttk isnt actually that great in KR or temple for that matter, because pulls arent big enough to ensure a consistent 4-5cp/fok generation

vast forum
#

o yea

#

that's true

strange python
#

3 ss 1 bbi 2 eb

#

that's the good shit

#

seli would run that but he's big noob and doesnt get gorak's

winged remnant
#

so...is there any 2ndary trait youd pick over OP in m+? i figured it would be pretty devalued just like haste in general...

vast forum
#

just save for specific LOOOL

marble hemlock
#

so in that sense, the eb isnt as necessary i suppose, since you would be mutilating for CP to get proper TTK value, instead of using fok

#

even on ~3-4target pulls

strange python
#

imagine not being lucky

marble hemlock
#

would certainly be interesting to see how a haste+mastery 3ss3ttk setup performs in something like kingsrest

winged remnant
#

actually on that note, with 1-2 EB's, how many targets do u need there to be for you to start ONLY FoK'ing and basically never mutilating?

round harbor
#

even in a higher key idk

marble hemlock
#

then again, if youre running 3ss youd rather play exsang and not TB, so why even play ttk at that point

round harbor
#

even Kr pulls can and will be medium to largve size sometimes

marble hemlock
#

rarely

#

only "big" pull is pulling 3packs at the start

round harbor
#

eh

marble hemlock
#

and the blobs, but who cares about blobs

#

as far as "when to overcap cp to spam fok" is concerned

round harbor
#

reaping + 2nd boss, reaping + first boss, reaping + second miniboss room

#

all pretty meta pulls

strange python
#

I dont think he's tlking about overcapping

marble hemlock
#

for me its less about the size of the pull, and more about whether i want to just spam aoe or want to continue doing prio damage for wahtever reason

strange python
#

I think he's talking about

#

when to fok over muti

vast forum
#

never fok st over muti

marble hemlock
#

oh

#

ye

vast forum
#

unless 20 stacks of hb

marble hemlock
#

err

#

3targets id say

strange python
#

he meant

marble hemlock
#

depends a bit on your critrate

strange python
#

on how many targets he'd fok over muti @vast forum

#

not if you fok on st

marble hemlock
#

i usually mutilate on 2-3 target

#

if i got a 3cp muti

winged remnant
#

seli are u playing TB constantly when ur going 2-3 TTK? CT or PB with that?

marble hemlock
#

i fok for 4+

#

if i got 2cp muti, i do another mut

vast forum
#

with 3 EB i think the math said that fok on 2 targets is optimal

strange python
#

ttk build runs tb and pb

marble hemlock
#

TB+PB

#

with ttk

round harbor
#

HB is slick tho

strange python
#

@vast forum ye, he asked 1-2 tho

round harbor
#

especially on weeks like this

marble hemlock
#

keep in midn that my suggestions for mut into fok when the mut was 3cp

#

isnt based on any sims or anything

#

just "feels" better and more efficient

#

on 2-3target fights youre usually still concerned about cp/energy, and not just raw damage

#

which becomes the primary concern once pulls are big enough (4+) where energy sustain is not an issue and thus cp/energy becomes less relevant

winged remnant
#

do u think ttk +tb +pb becomes better or worse on fortified vs tyrannical? kind of a weird question but i see multiple ways i could view that

marble hemlock
#

and its more about cp/gcd or dmg/gcd

#

i dont really think about traits, gear or talents in terms of forti+tyrannical

#

its more about "is prio gonna be useful and potentially time-saving?"

round harbor
#

"would a sub rogue be any sort of use here:

#

same line of thought

marble hemlock
#

which can be both important and not important at all for both forti and tyra

round harbor
#

except nbow u play sin

winged remnant
#

hmm....

marble hemlock
#

basically, i look at the comp, dungeon, affixes, and then decide what is the least useful

#

i.e. ttk is not as good on dungeons with smaller pulls, so i swap out one ttk for another ss

winged remnant
#

that becomes weird because of like..if im not missing something here.. it wouldnt be time saving but it would be useful ? on a lot of fort keys. where like.. killing a rough mob is just extremely less risky, but killing the whole pack over time as u go is just..more time efficient still? then u have things like shrine where theres big ass minibosses though..but most of those are skipped half the time lol

marble hemlock
#

you can make that argument in both directions

round harbor
#

i lean on the side of better cc can make a scary mob not scary and just do overall dmg sdo you get to move onto the next pack faster

marble hemlock
#

on fortified mobs live longer, meaning the small mobs die slower and giving the group more time to make sure they kill packs evenly with less investment into prio damage

winged remnant
#

thats what im saying @median swift , helpful, but not better timing basically?

round harbor
#

both

winged remnant
#

but ye i see a lot of different angled arguments to make on a lot of this

round harbor
#

like i would consider a bloodswarmer a scary mob on fort

#

but it can be stunned, defensived and killed nearly as fast with eb or with ttk

marble hemlock
#

i dont see prio damage as a means to take care of a specific mob as quickly as possible. theres certainly pulls where its helpful, bloodswamers in UR for example, but with or without ttk you can do good prio damage by utilizing your cooldowns.

the reason i play ttk in most dungeons is because it allows me to make sure that mobs in packs with uneven health, die at the same time anyway

round harbor
#

and all of the sudden the pack dies faster since you did 10k more overall on the pack

#

same wavelinks

#

2spooky4me

marble hemlock
#

so, even in a pack with 10mobs that have the same health, one or two of them will die faster or slower than the rest. ttk works exceptionally well in these types of situations to ensure mobs die evenly

round harbor
#

cannoneer in siege another example of that

winged remnant
#

so...basically how i handle glacial spike to some degree.

marble hemlock
#

which gives you the restealth you want if its a pack that spawns reaping

round harbor
#

or crusher in fh

#

all the same

#

side note, does anyone have the simc code for a fully decked out ceph jacket?

marble hemlock
#

i.e. in KR, the kings room on teeming. if close left spawns last, you dont get reaping before that last wave. by making sure these 3 mobs die at the same time, you get all 3 of them into the reaping wave that will spawn there. if you kill one of them quickly and spawn the reaping, the 2 remaining mobs will spawn with the next wave, potentially keeping you in combat longer (which doesnt matter for KR because you pull it with 2nd boss anway, but i think you get my point ^^)

winged remnant
#

so, i have a 400 SS+TChead and a 400 EB + SS chest, is there any reasoning im not thinking of where i wouldnt roll for a new 415 head over the chest?

marble hemlock
#

so on a trashpack that will spawn reaping after you kill 2-3 mobs, ideally you wanna make sure all the mobs in the pack die at the same time, so theyre all inside the reaping wave

dark crag
#

The assassination science of mythic plus

winged remnant
#

xd^

marble hemlock
#

so you dont get any stragglers in the next wave

#

and ttk is great for that specific purpose

bleak spoke
#

how much of a damage boost over pure st is it to be able to maintain a pair of ruptures for energy in that room and just sink fok env fok env into the second boss of kings anyway?

#

it's got to be much much more than outlaw right?

dark crag
#

And then an outlaw comes in the room shouting "BLADEFURRIE"

marble hemlock
#

on reaping+boss i dont multirupture at all

#

sniping low-hp mobs with 5cp ruptures is a better use of your resources

bleak spoke
#

not even for energy?

#

oh okay

dark crag
#

And the sub rogue sits alone on his darkmoon seasaw

round harbor
#

i tend to rupture lost souls

#

cause in Kr specifically they live long enough to justify imo

marble hemlock
#

on regular trashpulls you multirupture for a sustained energy-flow. on burst aoe packs you dont really need to do that, since you can sustain energy just through energy-refunds from mobs with rupture that are dying

bleak spoke
#

yeh i've been rupturing long living targets too

marble hemlock
#

the increased energygain from multidotting barely translates into increased singletarget damage

#

not nearly as much as it does for other classes/specs, including outlaw

bleak spoke
#

even if i get to just spam fok envenom into the boss?

marble hemlock
#

so me multidotting barely increases my ST damage, but actively hurts others (by killing the mobs off quicker)

bleak spoke
#

ah okay

#

i guess the end result's the same but mobs live longer with sniping then

marble hemlock
#

2nd boss KR is a bit of an exception, cause that boss is frustrating to play with lost souls up

strange python
#

well the end result is your party doing more damage

marble hemlock
#

and taking more damage

#

which might be the bigger concern

strange python
#

rather than you padding on reap

#

true

round harbor
#

no say the p; word here

#

u will trigger people

marble hemlock
#

its hard to generalize

strange python
#

p a d d i n g

bleak spoke
#

yeh it's definitely different comp to comp and dungeon to dungeon

marble hemlock
#

i think the 2nd boss i usually start with 3garrotes on boss and the 2 lostsouls from the golems

bleak spoke
#

and then rupture boss for 4th dot?

round harbor
#

i start with vanish bladeflurry yeet

#

but thats for a diff channel

cursive dune
#

!help

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

rupture boss, vendetta+tb and fok>envenom the boss

#

and then just vanish (if you have it) and do the same again

#

depending on kingsroom RNG you either get more mobs later on

#

or you dont

bleak spoke
#

yeh

marble hemlock
#

i usually multidot there simply because playing the boss and having 4+ lostsouls that smash all the time

bleak spoke
#

it's good if more mobs trickle in though right

marble hemlock
#

is super annoying

bleak spoke
#

for damage i mean

marble hemlock
#

placing fire correctly/being slowed from beam/dodging smashes/dodging the on-death effect

#

is just annoying, so getting rid of it quickly is preferable

bleak spoke
#

the slow from the drain is annoying af yeh

marble hemlock
#

well, its mostly that the healer cant pump you as much with beam

#

if theres still 5+ reapings pummeling the tank
