It's like 2nd or 3rd best melee probably

harsh sphinx
#

Just cut out the melee part πŸ‘Œ

royal lantern
#

yeha but if it is not #1 its basicly ussules! /s

distant lava
#

More importantly its 2nd or 3rd by a small margin

#

Cause prot pally is probably 2nd best tank, doesnt mean that its in a good spot

sonic bridge
#

@royal lantern no1 said that 😐

distant lava
#

He was bein sarcastic

#

Thus the /s

sonic bridge
#

I know

#

but its an indirect response to what I said

limber dew
#

anyone know if you can vanish coin shower on oppulance?

vapid scarab
#

idk but you could shadowstep it

#

have to have pretty precise timing

strange python
#

How much energy should I pool before using toxic blade if vendetta is on CD?

rigid mango
#

As much as needed

vapid scarab
#

as much as possible while still using TB on CD

distant lava
#

there was a guy in here name rogues can't solo coin shower

#

for a good reason

#

cause you can't

rigid mango
#

It's different for each person's haste and luck

vapid scarab
#

you can shadowstep it

#

coin shower is a projectile that falls from the ceiling, after the circle around you disappears there is about half a second for you to port away

rigid mango
#

You'll notice what energy you need to get 2 comfortably and 3 with luck @strange python just go hit a dummy or smth

distant lava
#

you have a log of that ?

vapid scarab
#

monks can transcendence it

#

i'll find a log

rigid mango
#

Regardless, don't

#

It's too risky for a mediocre outcome

#

I'm pretty sure it's not doable GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

strange python
#

Ok sure. Do you make sure to have 4-5 CP before using it? Also guessing when you have vendetta you just use it directly before TB and spend less time pooling beforehand?

#

New to sin sorry if questions are nooby lol

rigid mango
#

You want to be able to pump as much into it as possible

distant mist
#

The way I see it ifthe circle disappears and I do it to late I die

distant lava
#

the way I see it is you can't

#

but I'm waiting for the log that proves me wrong

distant mist
#

Or can go test it

#

In a heroic group

rigid mango
#

aim for 2 envenoms in ther window, 3 with some luck

vapid scarab
#

transcendence just after coin shower fades

rigid mango
#

Is that a monk log?

#

And not shadowstep

vapid scarab
#

same ability in this circumstance

distant mist
#

Shs and transendenxe both work th me same

#

Minus monk not having to target

strange python
#

Doesn't shadowstep/transcendance/blink all work pmuch the same?

vapid scarab
#

you could probably grapple hook it to

#

it's how the mechanic works

strange python
#

Idk about hook

vapid scarab
#

coin shower falls from the ceiling

strange python
#

I'm sceptical about hook working

vapid scarab
#

it's the same thing as first boss in TD upheaval

rigid mango
#

Judging by the fact that some of the best rogues I know said it wasn't possible

#

idk

#

Regardless it's not worth it

vapid scarab
#

it's not difficult to do once you know how

distant mist
#

It’s just timing

stuck knoll
#

Idk if it's the same cuz step doesn't work as a tp just a really fast dash

vapid scarab
#

that doesn't matter

#

coin shower is a projectile that falls from the ceiling

#

the damage is not immediate after the debuff expires

#

same thing as upheaval in TD

#

all that matters is that you have an ability to move quickly enough, usually that can only be done with ports

strange python
#

Was that a yes to pooling 4-5 CP before energy pooling TB then? Not sure if you can keep rupture up (if not, if its even worth keeping it up) the whole time if you do that. Talking pure ST

rigid mango
#

yes

#

You want to be as ready as possible to press the button to go ham

#

To get as much damage into that window as possible

#

I normally get 3-5 CP and then energy

strange python
#

Ok thanks.

vapid scarab
#

does internal bleeding count for venomous wounds on stuff you can actually proc it on?

vast forum
#

ye

strange python
#

can anyone reccomend me a good sin WA for tracking of your dots and general cd's?

distant lava
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
strange python
#

thanks πŸ˜ƒ i shouldve seen that ocming

distant lava
#

hey no problem dude πŸ˜‰ tremendous effort on my part

zenith gust
#

is it normal when simming master assassin ST patchwerk 5 min to end up with almost no versa?

civic palm
#

yes

elfin plaza
#

its not a great stat for single target sin

zenith gust
#

ok, i was like... wtf!

peak saffron
#

does anyone have the shadowstep macro to shadow step to the Race Flag for Uu'nat progression? can't seem to get mine to work

polar cape
#

/cleartarget /tar Race Flag /cast [@target,exists]Shadowstep /targetlasttarget /startattack /cast [@focus,exists] Shadowstep

#

Each / is a line in the macro

balmy quest
#
/tar Race Flag
/cast [@target,exists]Shadowstep
/targetlasttarget 
/startattack
/cast [@focus,exists] Shadowstep```
#

Just reformatted yours

balmy quest
#

Does sprint increase your swim speed at all? I assume not but haven't really tried it

meager nebula
#

i don't believe so

#

since movement speed and swim speed are two separate categories

fringe phoenix
#

#showtooltip Shadowstep
/target Race Flag
/cast Shadowstep

#

can also target monk statue if you have a monk tank to step to instead of the flags.

lime path
#

@balmy quest it does not

balmy quest
#

thank you

lime path
#

What is it about poison bomb that makes it stronger than tempest

rigid mango
#

The fact that it's just damage

#

CT does less damage than EB empowered FoK's

lime path
#

even on higher keys during fortified where things last long enough for multiple ticks?

rigid mango
#

If you want more aoe dmg, take HB

#

But several people have played with both and seen that PB still does more w 3 eb

lime path
#

hmm, I'm not doubting the math, PB just feels like it's not doing as much, but maybe I'm just not noticing the proc rate

rigid mango
#

feelycraft

lime path
#

yeah yeah I know

#

lol

rigid mango
#

thing is, your aoe is already there from EB

#

There's no reason to take CT

#

when it deals less damage than mongo FoKing

lime path
#

I'm new to rogue, what's EB stand for?

rigid mango
#

Echoing blades

#

The main AoE trait

flint jetty
#

If ct procced energy it'd be nice lol

rigid mango
#

Then it'd be insanely broken

#

Idk how we've managed to bring that up 3 times in the last couple of days now

lime path
#

I'm assuming for M+ you'd want at least 1 EB trait?

#

or is it worth stacking multiple

rigid mango
#

More like 2

lime path
#

aight

rigid mango
#

I'd recommend 2 minimum each week

flint jetty
#

Yeah 2 min right?

rigid mango
#

I mean

#

You can go less if you're confident in your groups pure aoe blast and you lack ST

#

But I'd not say it's ever worth it, pretty much

#

I never run with less than 2

lime path
#

I was gonna aim for 1 EB and stack Shrouded Suff for stronger openers on multi packs but if 2 EB is worth it, I'll try to find some pieces w/ that

rigid mango
#

I only ever run with 2 SS max

#

And that's when I go 2/2/2

#

Apart from KR, I never run more than 1

flint jetty
#

Would ss be more potent in lower non fort keys. Say <12

rigid mango
#

I'd argue worse

flint jetty
#

Since wont tick for full furatiuon?

rigid mango
#

Yep

flint jetty
#

duration

rigid mango
#

Potent for bosses for sure

#

But you'd be better off just stacking eb and smacking it into the wall

#

Actually not entirely sure what's the best for those scenarios

flint jetty
#

high ruin
#

is dice better than galecallers with perfect rng? just wondering why it always tops the logs

meager nebula
#

galecallers suffers from movement

#

dice does not

civic palm
#

3 2 1

simself

meager nebula
#

is the quick version

high ruin
#

not a personal problem, just curious. The movement thing makes sense

pastel wasp
#

Daggers are a myth

tall pelican
#

how much haste is good for mythic +?

civic palm
#

~10%, less if you can.

strange python
#

What enchants on weapons if you run 3x DD 3x NP?

worldly iron
#

sim it

harsh sphinx
#

some combination of deadly/quick/masterful, sim to be sure

empty mirage
#

Have a quick question :

At the moment I am running 2 double dose and 1 ss with 1 nothin personal trait
what is the best trait selection Single target to BoD ?
Should I stack more ss or go with one more double dose ?

Thanks in advance

winter moss
#

might be a guide line for traits

#

sim yourself

tropic ocean
#

@empty mirage it depends on the boss you are fighting, generally double dose is the better single target trait in longer encounters while ss is very good in short fights and multitarget fights

stable oxide
#

I would always use atleast 1 ss on: Champions, Grong, Jadefire, Conclave, Rastakan, Blockade and Jaina

#

Opulance im not sure cause I suck on that one :p

#

But I use 3xDD, 1xSS, 2xNP

winter moss
#

i run 1 SS 2DD 2NP 1TC

#

doesnt work to bad

tropic ocean
#

its not really worth to use ss on jaina or blockade

#

unless you can make your team to let you cleave else its a dps loss

stable oxide
#

It depends on your team. But I see that in my team sometimes the dps on the adds on blockade is not focussed enough

#

So I vanish, Garrote the boss, shadowstep to the add and garrote that one aswell

#

And on Jaina I like that vanish, garrote on Jaina + garrote on the wall

#

I have a 98% on conclave

#

And yeah I use SS for the raptors

#

perhaps my team doesn't focus them enough

#

which benefits me xD

polar tapir
#

Has there been any word on the Vendetta essence for next patch? or is it yet to be nerfed?

tropic ocean
#

on conclave take kidney shot talent

#

and kidney shot raptor

winter moss
#

SS on jaina isnt necessarily a dps lost since last phase cleave

tropic ocean
#

theres no cleave in last phase

winter moss
#

image + elemental

tropic ocean
#

theres no ele in last phase

winter moss
#

isnt it?

tropic ocean
#

and image depends on where it spawns

winter moss
#

does it?

#

since jaina nerf you just pull her to the image and cleave it down

tropic ocean
#

idk how you play but wasting 2 gcds walking to image if its far is not worth it

winter moss
tropic ocean
#

wat

#

lol

winter moss
#

max distance is 25 yds

#

no image no scnd icefall

tropic ocean
#

this sounds like very weird strats

winter moss
#

image has around 1.4mil hp

#

easily goes down in cleave

#

and it disables mechanics that were fatal

tropic ocean
#

???????

winter moss
#

2nd icefall, 2nd ray

tropic ocean
#

theres no 2nd ray

winter moss
#

there is

#

coming from the image :)

tropic ocean
#

zZzZ

#

this sounded like another set of rays

winter moss
#

oh sorry

#

no i meant the ray from the image

#

but a mechanic decrease by 100% for a bit of cleave makes it worth imo

tiny arrow
#

ray from image fatal πŸ€”

tropic ocean
#

not sure since these gcds could be pumped into boss

#

and for rogue the cleaving is only worth is the raid doesnt kill stuff before dots tick out

winter moss
#

well at this time you dont have to worry about the damage to the boss since you make it to the check easily

tropic ocean
#

I guess that depends on the group

winter moss
#

yeah depends on setup but with 2 dh and 1outlaw 2 sin rogues it works quite nice to cleave it down

#

second intermission + p3 actually got nerfed to heroic

tropic ocean
#

well in heroic theres no invisible ninja heart of frosts πŸ˜„

winter moss
#

ask our druid who had a chat ban

#

ez wipe

#

what still tilts me is that cloak doesnt remove stacks

tropic ocean
#

cuz it was broken af

winter moss
#

give me my godmode back

night vale
#

What do you guys reckon is a good setup for siege this week?

I was thinking 3xEB would be rubbish cause We wanna limit aoe on most pack to avoid massive bolster.

2/2/2??

winter moss
#

i mean not that it would matter but no dmg taken is still better then some dmg taken

#

siege can be tricky but if you play around a bolstered spotter i wouldnt pay to much attention to aoe

#

2eb 1ss 3ttk

#

if you dont play the spotter 2/2/2 should be fine

#

very generalistic

night vale
#

Yeah, unfortunately we won’t be using the spotter as one of our friends doesn’t like it as he thinks it’s exploity

But I’ll go with 2/2/2 I think, thank you

winter moss
#

just make sure that your group focused on higher health targets like the commander

#

as they are not affected by the atillery but the mops around them are

tropic ocean
#

I can only recommend 3 eb

#

bcuz

#

padpadpadpad

winter moss
#

pad dps best dps

real bay
#

tbh most ppl haven't seen a good assa

#

just assume it's shit because it's not outlaw

winter moss
#

tbf

tropic ocean
#

imo the big problem is

winter moss
#

there are not much good assas

tropic ocean
#

majority think outlaw is picked cuz he outdps everyone

#

🀷

real bay
#

well there aren't many assa so good ones even less

#

yeah that too

winter moss
#

NUFF

#

said

#

died on one reaping bc of Deduct

tropic ocean
#

but when you look at logged 20+ keys u see

#

all dps are pretty equal

#

outlaw just carry utility

winter moss
#

outlaw carry burst dps

tropic ocean
#

which doestn matter in high keys

#

πŸ˜„

winter moss
#

+1

#

the only reason you picked 2 outlaw+monk in mdi was that the keys were set to 18 (or 19 idk)

tropic ocean
#

in <17 i cant keep up with good outlaws

#

cuz stuff dies too fast

winter moss
#

the just bursted down the packs

#

but the higher the key the more other classes close up

tropic ocean
#

but in higher keys i usually beat them or are on same lvl

#

lately only ones outdpsing me is hunter trollers

distant lava
#

yeah hunter aoe dps monkaGiga

winter moss
#

ikr

#

3 primal instinct

#

gucci aoe

#

100k+

distant lava
#

Imagine rapid reload being a MM trait tho dogeKek

tropic ocean
#

80% beast cleave

winter moss
distant lava
#

litteraly there is one MM trait that's only for BM

#

100% devs are trolling

tropic ocean
#

πŸ˜„

#

with new season assa will shit on outlaw again

#

especially when key lvls get even higher

winter moss
#

idk

#

i think they both will be good

stuck knoll
#

Probably

winter moss
#

i just wanna revive sub dream PepeHands

tropic ocean
#

they are both good already

#

outlaw is just limited in aoe dps

#

and assa is uncapped

#

oh 50mobs? for 3min

#

nice

#

πŸ˜„

winter moss
#

true

stuck knoll
#

Number of mobs don't matter rn just time

distant lava
#

I mean the more limited thing about 50 mobs 3 mins is your tank

tropic ocean
#

I mean assa is somewhat limited

#

but as long as we dont have as much mobs that we need more room than 10yrds

#

we good

#

:p

winter moss
#

3 mobs for 2 min

#

equal or who pulls ahead

tropic ocean
#

pretty equal should be

#

3 mobs is super good for assa

#

4-5 for 2min outlaw should be ahead since you cant garrote

#

4-5 mobs

#

and its not enough mobs to make fok blast

winter moss
#

just wanna see the ignorance of some people towards assa drop

tropic ocean
#

I guess the higher you get the better it gets

#

just majority of players has no clue anyways and is meta/mdi slave

#

ppl pugging 15 bringing 2 outlaw rogues

#

but dont know the skips or pull shit into boss soit literally wouldnt matter to bring them or not

winter moss
#

but it was on mdi

#

was the same with sub in uldir

#

if you played around the rogue

#

giga blast

#

notice Rogue

faint harness
#

i feel like outlaw is just very good with reaping

#

once thats gone, wont be as big

tropic ocean
#

noone will be as big

#

πŸ˜›

faint harness
#

yea of course, but not having to re-stealth as outlaw and still deal massive dmg is quite good

winter moss
#

if you dont chain it into the boss whats the reason bringing outlaw

tropic ocean
#

not restealthing chaining is good for assa too

#

ppl think outlaw only got good due to reaping

#

yes and no

faint harness
#

if you run 3x FoK traits i guess

tropic ocean
#

but at the same time wits change came as well

faint harness
#

but if you run garrote traits, yoikers

tropic ocean
#

ppl tend to forget about it

#

actually no

winter moss
#

who on this earth runs 3eb3ss

tropic ocean
#

chaining for assa is good because you can remove your ramp up time

#

if its chained properly

#

chaining mobs that are about to die into new ones is

#

well bad

winter moss
#

if you can transition the energy flow from the one group to the next group

faint harness
#

I cant wait for outlaw to die in a fire tho

winter moss
#

with the last mob dying when done

faint harness
#

i havent done many assa keys this season

#

if im being honest

#

tops 2-3

winter moss
#

playing both specs in both raid and m+

tropic ocean
#

its hard to compare

faint harness
#

ran FoK traits in one and tripple SS in one, needless to say, the tripple FoK performed better

winter moss
#

but either am i a shite outlaw or too good as sin

#

i tend to the first one

tropic ocean
#

like wits is not good due to reaping only, just as fok isnt good due to reaping only

#

if outlaw had wits season 1 it would've been very good as well

faint harness
#

how big impact will wits nerf have tho

winter moss
#

well you would burst dps

#

without use

tropic ocean
#

less than everyone thinks

solid nova
distant lava
#

I mean I can definetly see a sin player beating me as outlaw

tropic ocean
#

the essences will bring a lot of new flavour

#

and 1 might be surprised

winter moss
#

seliathan for sure

distant lava
#

and I consider myself a more than ok outlaw

faint harness
#

assa is just hated by the community

tropic ocean
#

nah

distant lava
#

no just the BF charge drain can really hurt your dps

faint harness
#

join a pug and you aint outlaw

tropic ocean
#

i pugged all my keys to 2,4k as assa so

#

yeah some ppl are stupid and will decline or cry

#

but they also cry about shadow priest

winter moss
#

i started respeccing when the put the pulltimer for the key in pugs

faint harness
#

yea those are the ppl i mean

winter moss
distant lava
#

it's not that they hate sin, it's that they think outlaw is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better, while it's not

tropic ocean
#

when u see nataleya outpumping outlaws @ 3,8k rio

faint harness
#

i mean sin ST should outblast outlaw

#

by quite a bit

winter moss
#

it does

distant lava
#

depends on traits

winter moss
#

well yeah

faint harness
winter moss
#

everything depends on traits

faint harness
#

yes

tropic ocean
#

with the new cos trinket and on equal gear/skill

#

its very hard for outlaw to keep up on pure st

#

unless he rolls really good

winter moss
#

if you go with 3eb in a st fight you wont even outblast a feral

tropic ocean
#

^ this is troll

faint harness
#

remind me, whats EB again? I havent played rogue since uldir

tropic ocean
#

feral has very good dps

#

πŸ˜„

#

just nothing else

solid nova
#

Echoing blades

faint harness
#

ahh i just call it fok traits

winter moss
#

i like feral, but we were speaking of a sin outblasting a outlaw, ofcourse we go from optimal stats/traits

faint harness
#

feral is also put in the shadows by the community while actually not terible

winter moss
#

and if you go on pure st fight like mekka, with 3dd 2np 1tc

faint harness
#

just like ret paladin in m+

winter moss
#

you beat every law unless he rolls 5s back to back

tropic ocean
#

the st different of outlaw and assa isnt as far away from each other

#

the difference is that outlaw is rng dependant

#

and assa is not

faint harness
#

i havent been beaten by many outlaws on ST, they might suck tho who knows.

tropic ocean
#

so if you got good rolls you're fine if not you#re behind

winter moss
#

well for progression i tend to pick sin over otl everytime

tropic ocean
#

(which you can see on mekkatorque pretty good)

faint harness
#

i remember seeing this one outlaw rogue blast on uunat mythic

#

ST too, not just add dmg

#

RNG pirates

winter moss
#

first otl on public logs is world #53

#

rest is sin

distant lava
#

dude if you get 5 at the right time

winter moss
#

which doesnt means hit

distant lava
#

it's gigga blast time

winter moss
#

imagine getting 5 without crit PepeHands

distant lava
#

yeah but that's also cause shadowstep i pretty much needed for uwunat

faint harness
#

i played ret paladin on uunat seemsgood

#

BiS spec

tropic ocean
#

on what fight?

solid nova
faint harness
#

sry

winter moss
#

he right

#

see you in general

faint harness
#

he is right

solid nova
#

If it wasnt for racing flag, surely you'd just ss a pet or have ranged move

faint harness
#

SS the locks

stuck knoll
#

Assa also has a lot of rng in its damage too tbh

tropic ocean
#

?

real bay
#

go subt SS bye rng and close enuf

stuck knoll
#

Like if you look at the actual variance it's also pretty

#

High not outlaw levels but up there

distant lava
#

but if there's no RNG you can't blame your lack of skill on it

#

what do you mean

tropic ocean
#

I mean theres some rng yeah but i pull pretty consistent

#

sometimes a little more procs sometimes a little less

#

but overall pretty much in the same range

#

(-rng mechanics)

#

while on outlaw you have the same player doing 25k and doing 20k on the same encounter

marble hemlock
#

variance for assa is certainly pretty high, although not as random on a pull-to-pull basis

#

but ive had pulls on uunat where i was sitting on 38k dps after p1 finished, and others im barely hitting 26k

#

trinket procs during vendetta and crit-luck during tb+vend is pretty huge

stable oxide
#

Crit is the biggest rng as assassination

tropic ocean
#

it is for any class no?

stable oxide
#

Well

#

Crit gives us extra combo points

distant lava
#

not really cause sin also gains extra ressources from it

stable oxide
#

I've had pulls where I got 4 cps on my mutilates a few times in a row

#

which means all my envenoms are within elaborate planning timer

#

without pooling energy

#

which is pretty big

winter moss
#

@marble hemlock just play with 40 crit on uwunaat

marble hemlock
#

if you get 4 envenoms into your opening TB with pot, and 2 diceprocs and stuff

#

then you go ham

stable oxide
#

^

marble hemlock
#

if your MA env is noncrit and your muti after gives 2CP

#

that hurts you a lot

winter moss
#

tue

tropic ocean
#

I mean

winter moss
#

but the variance is still not as high as otl

tropic ocean
#

assa rng is nowhere near outlaw rng

#

especially in st

#

you can have this

#

or this

stable oxide
#

Obviously

distant lava
#

no you can't

stuck knoll
#

What's this

distant lava
#

that's bullshit

stuck knoll
#

Like

winter moss
#

why would you post my personal logs KyuHide

stuck knoll
#

What

distant lava
#

you can't do pluls like this as outlaw

tropic ocean
#

assa is pretty consistent dps wise

distant lava
#

if you're good you vary from purple to orange sure

marble hemlock
tropic ocean
#

while outlaw goes from top 100 to green

marble hemlock
#

good p1 RNG

distant lava
#

not it doesn't

marble hemlock
#

bad p1 RNG

distant lava
#

you're actually delusiionnal lol

stuck knoll
#

I've said this so many times if you go from orange to green with buffs you're just playing badly

stable oxide
#

@marble hemlock what boss are we talking about?

distant lava
#

uwunat

stable oxide
#

ah

tropic ocean
#

@stuck knoll so you think that ppl that play in good guilds and do top 100 logs

#

suddenly become a worse player

#

?

#

or it might be buff-related?

stuck knoll
#

I'd say he fucked up

solid nova
#

Theres not a chance you're logging grey but playing well

stuck knoll
#

That's not buffs

tropic ocean
#

obviously not, I just screened the whole logs

winter moss
#

logging grey + playing good = disconnect

faint harness
#

just play in a world 1st guild and get rank 1s

distant lava
#

if you get fucked and play well you're low purples

tropic ocean
#

all im saying is, the difference is way higher than in assa

#

and u can see it from various top 100 logs

stuck knoll
#

I think it's more likely he got giga buffs one pull

#

And is bad at outlaw

solid nova
#

I mean sin rng vs outlaw rng is a given as Outlaw has the highest variance in the game

#

But its not the difference between green/orange

rtb rng doesnt affect you that hard

faint harness
#

maybe if you sit on 1 roll energy buffs

tropic ocean
#

no, but its the difference between orange logging every fight in 6 consecutive ids

marble hemlock
#

assa variance is pretty high these days thanks to low-rppm trinket like dice and MA being hit or miss

tropic ocean
#

between having a 100 log and a 90% log

faint harness
#

rank 1 logs without padding tho

distant lava
tropic ocean
#

theres no pad in mekka

winter moss
#

well ma 100% with 3 secs still would be great

faint harness
#

didnt know it was mekka, my bad

winter moss
#

not overpowered but less rng

quasi pewter
#

There is almost no padding in any fight in bod tbh

tropic ocean
#

lol

solid nova
#

What

real bay
#

whole place padfest

winter moss
#

and we got a winner

sullen pagoda
#

XDDD

stable oxide
#

There is alot of padding in BoD xD

stuck knoll
#

Wait wait wait

sullen pagoda
#

i see i came just in time for pepega discussion

quasi pewter
#

Tell me where there is padding?

stable oxide
#

thats why SS is so good :P

stuck knoll
#

Did you link a mekka log

stable oxide
#

Champions

quasi pewter
#

Jaina maybe

sullen pagoda
#

are u trolling or

tropic ocean
#

lol

stable oxide
#

where you cleave the shit :P

tropic ocean
#

this is comedy

stable oxide
#

well wait

#

what do you consider padding?

sullen pagoda
#

stormwall is basically how much damage will you do to adds

real bay
#

this man is delusional spincernedfrog

tropic ocean
#

5,3k dps

#

no pad okkkk

quasi pewter
#

Adds need to die no?

distant lava
#

he got us all to agree on something

sullen pagoda
#

?????????????????????????????

distant lava
#

maybe that was his plan

sullen pagoda
#

yikes

quasi pewter
#

Padding is not dps to adds wtf are you saying

winter moss
#

the boss needs to die, the adds can get kited around

tropic ocean
#

champions, pad, grong, pad, jadefire pad, opulence PAD PAD PAD, rastakhan mhhh pad, stormwall, add siren pad, jaina barrel ballista ele pad

stable oxide
#

I have the feeling that the definition of padding defers for alot of people

tropic ocean
#

padding is doing dps to improve your log while having no gain to defeating the encounter

quasi pewter
#

Kite adds on stormwall

stuck knoll
#

Did you really link mekka logs to talk about rng

tropic ocean
#

which is basically what you are doing on sin

stable oxide
#

Well

#

wait

tropic ocean
#

bcuz the adds will die by range dps anyway even if u st the boss

quasi pewter
#

How is grong pad

stable oxide
#

is it padding when shit needs to die?

tropic ocean
#

ofc it is

stable oxide
#

Vanishing to do 3 garrotes on grong adds woudn't be padding

quasi pewter
#

Why shouldnt it die by you though?

tropic ocean
#

you play ss traits only to pad adds

#

bcuz its less effective

#

wdym

quasi pewter
#

So all ranges always pad?

winter moss
#

mostly yea

stable oxide
#

Padding would be doing aoe damage that is totally unnecessary

quasi pewter
#

Because they go on adds?

stable oxide
#

I would say on Champions we pad

faint harness
#

if you lower ur boss dmg by going out of your way to deal more dmg to adds that would die regardless thats pad

real bay
#

I played ss as I wasn't allowed to tunnel boss

warm drift
#

They dont have to move to adds

tropic ocean
#

I mean how do you compare range to melee

#

but doing dps to adds in stormwall is not pad?

#

as a melee?

#

wat

#

especially as sin

quasi pewter
#

No? Not always

tropic ocean
#

?????????????

stable oxide
#

It depends on your group

tropic ocean
#

do you let adds run to boss and melee kill them or am I missing smth

stable oxide
#

In my group range are multidotting the adds

#

till they are close to the boss

tropic ocean
#

which they should?

stable oxide
#

indeed

tropic ocean
#

In my group range dps stop ona dd so they dont die in the back

quasi pewter
#

Ur a dot class, you lose less boss dps than most ranges by dotting the adds

tropic ocean
#

SIN IS A MELEE CLASS

#

wtf

quasi pewter
#

And?

faint harness
#

I mean why not dot the add if its close to boss

tropic ocean
#

are you for real

stable oxide
#

Well i also shadowstep the adds to multidot them

tropic ocean
#

or are you just trolling?

quasi pewter
#

Yes

winter moss
#

he is trolling

quasi pewter
#

I am

winter moss
#

must be

tropic ocean
#

have u ever killed the encounter?

stable oxide
#

then the thingies spawn at the side

#

and I can switch to them

faint harness
#

stop padding 4Head

quasi pewter
#

How is it padding to spend 0.5 secinds to rupture an add

tropic ocean
#

bcuz

#

you have a movement way

#

as well

quasi pewter
#

You lose almost nothing

tropic ocean
#

yes you do

faint harness
#

the boss has a huge hitbox tbf

quasi pewter
#

And ranges lose boss dps by swapping

tropic ocean
#

wat

quasi pewter
#

What do you lose?

stable oxide
#

The only thing that I would consider padding, is if WCL did count all the damage done on conclaive

tropic ocean
#

are you completely trolling

#

sin loses almost nothing dotting adds on stormwall

#

but ranges lose boss dps

#

?_?

faint harness
#

I feel like there needs to be an official definition of padding

stable oxide
#

^

tropic ocean
#

most of current range dps GAIN by dotting the adds

distant lava
#

do you realize some classes / specs gain more ST from cleaving and do more cleave dmg ?

warm drift
#

If you can multidot rupture for energy. Without loosing dps on maintarget. Is it pad? Or effective?

winter moss
#

the official definiton of padding is to push your dmg meters with no actual use to the encounter progression

#

wtf

real bay
#

no it's being smart

tropic ocean
#

@warm drift you lose dps to maintarget by dotting add

faint harness
#

you gain energy gen tho

quasi pewter
#

Same with most ranges though?

tropic ocean
#

its not a 2 or 3 target cleave fight

quasi pewter
#

Idk what ur saying

tropic ocean
#

the add will die

#

its not jadefire masters

stable oxide
#

That depends on your group :p

faint harness
#

Like if you dont lose boss dps by dotting ads, whats the issue

quasi pewter
#

Yes so ranges can stop going on it too or what do you mean

tropic ocean
#

you do lose boss dps as a sin by dotting adds

#

idk what yout rying to say

quasi pewter
#

Whats the difference

warm drift
#

I dont know! Was a question! πŸ˜…

tropic ocean
#

@quasi pewter you don't understand the encounter or the specs so pls

marble hemlock
#

depends on the encounter then @quasi pewter

tropic ocean
#

no point in discussing if you don't understand the basics

faint harness
#

yea so if you lose effective dps by dotting adds, its pad. Problem solved moving on

stable oxide
#

You do lose damage on the boss by going to the adds on blockade, but is that a problem?

marble hemlock
#

theres encounters where you want to kill adds, but without being on the clock for it

quasi pewter
#

I mean ur garbage i assume

#

So you dont get it

tropic ocean
#

ele/lock/spriest/boomkin all gain by dotting adds

marble hemlock
#

then theres fight like uunat where killing adds too early is actually detrimental to the fight

sullen pagoda
#

LOL

distant lava
#

dropping the insults

#

cause no more arguments

#

I see you

tropic ocean
#

if you think dotting add on stormwall as sin rogue is st gain

#

im not sure whos garbage

stable oxide
#

Now now guys, lets all calm down :P

solid nova
#

@quasi pewter Dont go down that road

quasi pewter
#

Never said that

#

I said its minimal loss

solid nova
#

Place nice or dont play at all

quasi pewter
#

Same as most ranges

winter moss
#

^what richard said

tropic ocean
#

for ranges

#

ITS NOT A LOSS

#

its a GAIN

quasi pewter
#

Not for all

marble hemlock
#

only classes that have a fairly big gain are sp and ele

faint harness
#

why are you getting so upset tho

worldly iron
#

this chat

faint harness
#

imagine getting this riled up about this

solid nova
#

@worldly iron Not helpful

marble hemlock
#

and sp mostly gets it by proccing ToF

sullen pagoda
#

@marble hemlock destro and affli locks also get ST from dotting the add

tropic ocean
#

afflock, destro too

quasi pewter
#

Sp only gains from execute on adds

worldly iron
#

You're right, my bad

marble hemlock
#

sure, but its not nearly as impactful

#

and agony isnt much of a damage source in itself, as much as its just there to generate resources

stuck knoll
#

Ranges don't lose anything it's a gcd or 2

quasi pewter
#

I mean you actually no idea about classes aswell and ur trying to argue

tropic ocean
#

lol

quasi pewter
#

Same as assa

stuck knoll
#

But like saying it would be a huge loss for assa to ss to the add and rupture

sullen pagoda
#

@marble hemlock from what ive heard SP actually loses ST from dotting 1 target from what ive heard, but dont know personally

marble hemlock
#

the concern usually is with dots that deal a lot of damage while providing minimal prio-damage gain

stuck knoll
#

Is dumb as fuck too

#

Just don't do it while they're in africa

real bay
#

who actually cares, loss likely not even noticeable

marble hemlock
#

with auspicious spirits, its always a gain to sw:p adds

stuck knoll
#

The hit box is huge

marble hemlock
#

most SPs just happen to also VT adds, which is not a prio-gain at all πŸ˜ƒ

faint harness
#

the sense has been made

#

fair enough

tropic ocean
#

@stuck knoll unless the add lives through the dot its a los

stable oxide
#

It all depends on your group really.... really early on when I was progressing on conclave, my raid had to low damage on the raptors aswell. Thats where I also go SS and subterfuge. I woudn't consider that padding

tropic ocean
#

loss*

#

so why would I do that, unless I want to improve log

faint harness
#

padding is only when you deal useless dmg to adds and lose boss dmg

tropic ocean
#

this was the whole argument

stuck knoll
#

The adds are gonna live through the dot

#

Unless you do it as they hit boss

marble hemlock
#

padding is doing something thats not helping killing the boss faster while literally "padding" the output

quasi pewter
#

You dont run to the back ofc lmao

marble hemlock
#

but yeah anyway, think the point has been made

quasi pewter
#

There is great examples of padding but in bod there is not many of them

#

Imo

tropic ocean
#

XD

winter moss
#

@quasi pewter picking up an argument brought in by someone else

#

power move

marble hemlock
#

multidotting as assa is barely worth it, but if the adds need to die eventually then its usually worth doing if you dont have to run away from the main-target

tropic ocean
#

im just waiting fort the top assas to tell him hes wrong

#

and maybe then hell understand

quasi pewter
#

Im waiting

tropic ocean
#

one already told it 2 lines above urs

stable oxide
#

Well Seliathan is a big boy right :P?

shrewd pine
#

padding = doing more damage than me

stable oxide
#

He just gave you the answer

marble hemlock
#

haha theri

quasi pewter
#

Oh wait im one of them

marble hemlock
#

so everyones padding

jovial adder
#

🍿 I’m waiting for people to start linking logs

stable oxide
#

hold my beer

winter moss
#

@shrewd pine aint no trinket boosting your dmg

stable oxide
#

look at my padding logs

marble hemlock
#

id link my pad-logs but im never padding FeelsGoodMan

tropic ocean
#

@quasi pewter not a big boy in arguing though

distant lava
#

going SS on fight that don't need cleave is padding

winter moss
#

@marble hemlock i feel ya

quasi pewter
#

Ok

distant lava
#

for example

solid nova
#

@stable oxide 10/10 guild name

stuck knoll
#

Can we just have an end to it

stable oxide
#

Thanks :P

tropic ocean
#

why its a nice discussion ronkles

#

don't be that guy

distant lava
#

you'll be that muted guys soon aus

solid nova
winter moss
#

can we all settle for padding is to do what the raidleader doesnt call

distant lava
jovial adder
#

Lol @stable oxide you stay ready

distant lava
#

@winter moss aye sir I can get behind that

stable oxide
#

@jovial adder ? :P

marble hemlock
#

padding is stuffing a sock in your pants

#

or a can of pringles

winter moss
tropic ocean
#

muted for what? I'm not the person straight up insulting ppl in this discord, theres other candidates pepeez

quasi pewter
#

Its not an insult if its true

tropic ocean
marble hemlock
#

playing SS on a fight with adds that dont have to die quickly is literally a can of pringles

lethal heart
#

imagine

#

seli talking about padding

stable oxide
#

which bosses are those?

marble hemlock
distant lava
#

what have we done

marble hemlock
#

well

solid nova
#

You know when you go round and round in circles for ages but end up getting nowhere? Yeah thats this.

jovial adder
#

@tropic ocean need to check your logs for pad

marble hemlock
#

champion, grong, conclave, opulence

tropic ocean
#

@jovial adder i do pad in farm

#

as I try to improve my log

stable oxide
#

Champions I agree

tropic ocean
#

and theres nothing wrong with it

marble hemlock
#

even rasta

distant lava
#

@marble hemlock could argue rastakan

lethal heart
#

jaina

#

blockades

marble hemlock
#

yeah

lethal heart
#

every boss besides mekka

#

you can pad

#

rofl

stable oxide
#

Why can I not use vanish on multidot the adds that spawn?

marble hemlock
#

πŸ˜„

distant lava
#

cause only dude that needs to die is the big troll

stable oxide
#

on grong

tropic ocean
#

@stable oxide you can and it will be good dmg

marble hemlock
#

because i doubt any guild has trouble killing the add too slowly

tropic ocean
#

the question you need to ask yourself, will ithelp killing the boss

marble hemlock
#

and theres just no point for you to multidot on adds+boss if you could play other traits that give you more damage on the boss itself

distant lava
#

since most guilds keep 1 add alive

marble hemlock
#

thats why id consider ss padding on grong

distant lava
#

cleave is useless

stable oxide
#

Okay

#

That makes sense

tropic ocean
#

seliathan is like legit the sin priest

marble hemlock
#

no

winter moss
#

yes

marble hemlock
#

praise assa

distant lava
#

sin priest aPES_Think

tropic ocean
#

its like theres 98% non assas in the world

#

and hes on the monk mission to convert them

winter moss
#

playing 3 dd on grong

tropic ocean
#

❀

marble hemlock
#

time to outpad outlaw

winter moss
#

rest is bonkers

cobalt pelican
#

in that case do you just straight up never go to the ads or leave early or

winter moss
#

now you guys be quiet and go watch seliathan

#

he doing some good work

solid nova
#

@distant lava ???

cobalt pelican
#

cause the ads dying faster IS more boss damage for like 80% of specs

distant lava
#

@marble hemlock we just established it's not padding if it's your job to kill the things

#

so ofc you would outpad outlaws

stable oxide
#

@cobalt pelican what he says

#

is true

tropic ocean
#

When I find myself in times of trouble, Daddy Seli comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be ~

sullen pagoda
#

listen its never pad you just need to kill things

real bay
#

if the things need to die you kill

stable oxide
#

So the adds on grong need to die. If i vanish and garrote rupture all of those adds, they die faster

marble hemlock
#

the matter is more about whether the raid needs your help to kill them

#

which is rarely the case

stable oxide
#

which means the rest of the team can go on the boss earlier right?

lethal heart
#

thing about top grong logs is

tropic ocean
#

or maybe to phrase it differently

lethal heart
#

your raid allows you to get max avlue out of your cleave

stable oxide
#

Well now we are mixing the definition again

tropic ocean
#

theres classes that are better for cleaving the adds

lethal heart
#

or cds

#

on them

tropic ocean
#

without having to sacrifice st

lethal heart
#

to get more overall

tropic ocean
#

like for sin you will need to take ss to do significant dps to adds and you also need to use vanish for it

#

which you could use in dd to pump more into boss

#

so you gain dmg to adds, but lose dps to boss

#

which is untrue for other specs/classes

stable oxide
#

vanish for DD?

#

obviously you go subterfuge :p

tropic ocean
#

no, vanish for tb vendetta obviously

stable oxide
#

ah

tropic ocean
#

with ss and subter you don't get the full vanish power into grong, sicne you will do 2 garrotes on the adds

#

you gain overall, but lose on boss

#

compared to dd np ma

stable oxide
#

you do 3

tropic ocean
#

?

#

2 on adds 1 on grong

stable oxide
#

yes

tropic ocean
#

yes

#

so you loose buffed garrote uptime on grong

#

(which already is less dps than full dd would be on st)

cobalt pelican
#

like, you personally will gain boss damage and lose overall

#

but unless your raid is entirely saving the ads for solely those that benefit f rom them being alive on no time constraint

#

other people lose boss damage for you to gain it

#

your own damage is entirely irrelevant if you're not going for logs, really

tropic ocean
#

seliathan made dr jay skip add so he can use vanish for pad

#

exposed

sullen pagoda
#

im playing echoin blades next opulence clear so my team can focus on boss damage kappat

tropic ocean
#

its not worth πŸ˜›

cobalt pelican
#

tell at least half of the raid to die too

#

so they can BIG focus on boss damage

tropic ocean
#

I always wanted to play eb ss on opulence but the difference is not that big as I thought

#

to 3 dd np and just pump when stacks are high

sullen pagoda
#

just play outlaw pog

tropic ocean
#

oh no i dont got the emote

cobalt pelican
#

eb is only worth it if you get like 4 ad waves

#

or your guild let you have the entire ad wave

tropic ocean
#

yeah but even then

quasi pewter
#

Doesnt even give allstars, play outlaw+ red gem so ur guild likes you

tropic ocean
#

not that much of a difference

faint harness
#

chasing logs in 2k19

cobalt pelican
#

it's pretty much the only thing that keeps reclears tolerable

stable oxide
#

Yup...

#

My guild chose not to do CoS because we don't have the setup

#

so we are reclearing BoD

#

Every week

#

Good thing is that everyone gets the mount :p

bronze kelp
#

^^

sullen pagoda
#

just reclearing for the sake of reclearing would be mindblowingly boring @faint harness

stable oxide
#

But yeah the only thing I can do now is going for logs

sullen pagoda
#

id rather quit raiding than raid like that

stable oxide
#

My guild leader told me I was not allowed to use Lurkers on Jaina and Blockade

faint harness
sullen pagoda
#

???

stable oxide
#

I secretly did and he got mad :'(

#

he benched me on the next Jaina

faint harness
#

tell ur raidleader to gtfo

sullen pagoda
#

i can understand jaina but stormwall?????????????????

bronze kelp
#

i would rather do island expeditions, than reclearing content without any reward

knotty falcon
#

Sounds like a dumb raid leader

sullen pagoda
#

stormwall is least hps needed fight ever created

#

like when i had to heal on my pala, and tank missed ire of deep it was best moment of the raid for me

#

i finally had something to heal

stable oxide
#

Well i think it was more about the fact that "if everyone would use lurkers, its gonna be a problem"

#

so now no one will

faint harness
#

Chasing logs on prog in 2k19 then*

knotty falcon
#

Do you run 13 melees?

faint harness
#

i agree that going for logs on farm is the only thing you can do

bronze kelp
#

better logs for healers πŸ˜‰

knotty falcon
#

So that everyone would use lurkers?

sullen pagoda
#

it sounds like your raidleader does too much feelycraft @stable oxide

knotty falcon
#

^

stable oxide
#

I should screenshot this xD

knotty falcon
#

It does barely no damage

faint harness
#

lurkers did 1 mil dmg to me on uwunat 4Head

#

3rd biggest dmg taken

bronze kelp
#

nice one πŸ˜‰

sullen pagoda
#

like if anything you can remove lurkers buff at 20s since ur vendetta is done and almost all the dmg taken is in the last 10s

real bay
#

lurkers damage is irrelevant tbh you can click it when Vendetta ends

#

pepega

#

stable oxide
#

But now I need to use my 400 ilvl plumage instead of Lurkers :'(

faint harness
#

dood its a dps loss to click it

bronze kelp
#

ouh that hurts ^^

sullen pagoda
#

nah even at 20s lurkers is way too good

faint harness
#

let the healers have their fun

cobalt pelican
#

just tell him you'll use crimson vial

faint harness

stable oxide
#

I did

faint harness

you can also just work around the last %

bronze kelp

crimson outheals lurkers easy, just tell him

I never got below 50% health

if your not dying why ever remove lurkers buff

and report back from bench, what he answered XD

sullen pagoda

@stable oxide are u using the waiting for stacks to drop before going last phase jaina?

stable oxide
#

yes

sullen pagoda
#

if you are your RL is being petty and not really thinking

jovial adder
#

Lol^ I feel the pain

stable oxide
#

Thank you guys

sullen pagoda
#

cuz when stacks drop dmg taken p3 is also close to none

stable oxide
#

I know

#

So now I have the little wrestle with my GM :P

faint harness
#

I wouldnt attack ur RL tho, put it up in a calm and intelligent fashion

stable oxide
#

cause he says I care to much about logs

#

So my log on Grong is still bad

sullen pagoda
#

i honestly doubt you will have any chances of reasoning with him @stable oxide

stable oxide
#

Because im really bad

jovial adder
#

Lol just use it anyway πŸ‘Ώ

stable oxide
#

So I used a vantus rone on grong xD

#

and the whole raid was like....

#

wtf

#

who the fuck was that

sullen pagoda
#

RLs like that are usually RLs who don't really understand fights

#

like that dropping a healer sometimes means easier fight

#

nah fam just add more healers

real bay
#

not blasting everything on farm PepeLaugh

faint harness
#

Ahh i love the good ole "this is how we've always done it" when boss has been nerfed 10 times and ur on farm killing it the 10th time

sullen pagoda

I've seen a post on competitivewow about mekka and a guy answers "drop your egos and add 6th healer"

#

like

jovial adder
#

Oof this is all touching too close to home

#

Fucking Rls

sullen pagoda
#

adding more healers means longer p2 means more robots means more dmg taken

#

nah just add healers

real bay
#

sounds like our champions tactic

#

stop dps, get on adds

jovial adder
#

Does anyone else here have to 5 heal jaina?

stable oxide
#

I don't even know xD

sullen pagoda
#

wtf

stable oxide
#

let me check

sullen pagoda
#

we 4 heal it but its best to 3 heal it

#

you skip EVERYTHING

faint harness
#

we tried to blast conclave yday 4Head

stable oxide
#

Yes

faint harness
#

didnt work

stable oxide
#

my guild 5 heals it

jovial adder
#

I’m not even trolling lol my guild has downs

faint harness
#

you can push first conclave boss in 20 seconds or somethign and dodge a bunch of abilities

real bay

adding more dps doesn't help if the dps is bad

i mean in mythic ravers

yeah i heard of them... im stuck only raiding 2 days a week atm tho

me and my friends left our CE 2 day a week guild to start our own for 8.2, on twisting nether

starting your own guild is always.. difficult

yeah i mean, it will hopefully be easier cause its like 15 raiders from our old guild all moved accross... its really just our own guild minus 5 people :p

faint harness
#

the 5 ppl being officer team?

#

Mutiny

night vale
#

i was officer, like 3/5 officers have left

bascially our feedback was being over-ruled by the GM cause its his guild... which is fine, but we thought we had good ideas for next tier. and decided that it wasnt going to work so set up our own thing

worldly iron

yeah my bad

stable oxide

It's to silent in here...

Multidotting the balista's is not padding

does sin rip aggro to a similar degree as outlaw or is it better for not getting clapped due to dot damage?
