Sim it as always in your gear

exotic hearth
#

I just wanted to be sure. It wants me to have 2 but i thought it only benefitted 1x each so having a 2nd would be a wasted trait

steep obsidian
#

Trust what the sim says

#

does anybody have a good shadowmeld stealth macro?

#

pls @ me

arctic walrus
#

/cast shadowmeld

#

/cast stealth

#

?

keen bloom
#

optimal way to use razor coral + ink pod at ashvane fight ?

shut socket
#

no @arctic walrus

lusty narwhal
#

@shut socket most vague question ever

shut socket
#

so melding and stealthing is another vanish which is good for sin keys. melding is also very buggy when you're in melee range so it doesn't always drop combat.

#

i know for a fact there's a good macro for it, a friend who plays sin in high keys told me about it

#

but he's not here atm so i can't get it off him

#

so i thought i'd try the rogue discord

#

dunnno why you think it's vague though @lusty narwhal if i write it out any simpler i'd be patronizing you

sudden ocean
#

tbh it's more annoying if you dont provide the information needed to answer the question

shut socket
#

should i take my question somewhere else?

sudden ocean
#

i dont care either way tbh, just pointing out that obscure questions get boilerplate answers

shut socket
#

if you think my question is obsure you're a moron

#

sorry

sudden ocean
arctic walrus
#

You can take your question to your friend who knows this god send of a macro FeelsWeird

shut socket
#

thanks for the help!

#

i'll see myself out lol

sudden ocean

don't let the door bang you on the ass

#

I found meld stealth "good" but only in the odd case you didn't need it to cheese a mechanic, fwiw

strange python
#

hi@all

muted maple
#

fight fight fight

#

meld doesnt turn off auto attacks when pressed?

#

wouldve thought it does, unless that guy is mashing buttons after meld>stealth and its turn his autos on

strange python
#

im strugglin a bit whit my rog dmg in myth progress, if theres someone who can halp me that would be great ๐Ÿ™‚

worldly iron
#

do you have any logs to link?

strange python
#

yes

#

can we do this in private?

#

or just post the logs here?

worldly iron
#

if you post it here, more people can chip in and help, but it's up to you, really. whatever you feel more comfortable with

strange python
#

im cool whit that, 1sec pls

#

here is one of my logs from yesterday

#

is benthic gear a must have or can it be compared to 430+?

worldly iron
#

benthic gear is pretty massive, not even 445 pieces can beat it most of the time

sullen pagoda
#

your opener is wrong

#

even if you are saving cds for bubble burst you should continue with regular opener just no cds on it

strange python
#

i just tried yesterday SS+sub

sullen pagoda
#

im watching wrong rogue

#

oups

strange python
#

hehe

worldly iron
#

you still wanna change your opener slightly, you do garrote -> garrote -> rupture, you should do garrote -> rupture -> garrote instead

sullen pagoda
#

anyway u should g > r > g when playing subterfuge ss

#

you used toxic blade then clf vendetta

strange python
#

okay for the add 1 sec?

sullen pagoda
#

u want to clf > vendetta > toxic blade

strange python
#

okay i understand, but the opener i did wasnt that bad in dmg, the question is why is my dmg so low

sullen pagoda
#

u got 3x DD traits its not worth it to fok adds iirc

#

u can do rupture on bubble for energy refresh

strange python
#

okay rapture on 1-2 bubbles for energy refresh

worldly iron
#

at one point it looked like you might've withdrawn coral first and then using font, you want to do it the other way around

#

but I'm also not great at reading logs, so I could be mistaken

#

I usually just see the glaring issues

sullen pagoda
#

yeah u are right @worldly iron was about to write that

#

you want to use font about ~15sec iirc before ur cds so u have font and coral in cds

strange python
#

buddy can you explain that to me in a more easy way? im not that good in english ๐Ÿ˜›

#

you mean the aszhara trinket

worldly iron
#

yeah

sullen pagoda
#

yes

#

also a lot of your toxic blades are 1 envenom, you want to prepare upfront for toxic blade cd coming back up

strange python
#

so im stacking coral to 12 and use aszahra trinket 15 sec before ueseing the coral?

sullen pagoda
#

you dont look at how many stacks coral has

#

after first cds on opener, when 2nd are coming back up

strange python
#

so in my opener im wainting whit vendetta and vanish till coral is rdy to use?

sullen pagoda
#

you font then pop cds 15 sec later and get coral crit inside those cds

#

no

#

for opener you just do normal

strange python
#

k

sullen pagoda
#

5-6sec prepull font and coral somewhere inside cds

strange python
#

2nd vendetta im useing aszahara 15 sec bevor coral and use then vendetta. toxic blade, vanish

#

rigth

sullen pagoda
#

yes

strange python
#

got it

#

im going for haste and 3x DD but somehow it doesnt feal that great

#

whit master assasin

sullen pagoda
#

you dont go for haste u sim top gear

strange python
#

well i tried DD whit all crit and now whit all haste

#

dont feels like a big change

sullen pagoda
#

sin rogue isnt that much button mash unless you get insane lucid procs

#

well our stats are reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally close in stat weights for most people i think

#

thats why i hate when gm is like "is this x stat even good for rogues, what stat u want"

strange python
#

you want a /simc so you can see ma azerite i got?

sullen pagoda
#

sure u can pastebin it

worldly iron
#

yeah I'd like to see too

strange python
#

anyways seems like i have to collect those stupid benthic crap ๐Ÿ˜›

worldly iron
#

you've got the boots and hands already, at least

strange python
#

yeah i get the boots yesterday

sullen pagoda
#

id go with this top gear suggested

#

for ashvane progress you should make tank that is suiciding get Loyal to the end trait as a must

#

big gain for raid

strange python
#

we play since 2 days whit the 2 tank strat, so there is no dead tank anymore

sullen pagoda
#

its still big trait even without it

#

also use benthic ye, forgot to sim it here but its big

worldly iron
#

I forgot to log in to raidbots so I'm waiting for the short queue

#

too lazy to redo it sadcat

strange python
#

hehe

worldly iron
#

but yeah was Mtvcribs sent looks p good

strange python
#

there are no bentic gear eq

#

i got the hands and the boots now

#

should i use them?

worldly iron
#

it's a good start

strange python
#

420 and 415 ilvl

sullen pagoda
#

i forgot to set it to sim benthic too but ye

strange python
#

this is so frustrating to me xD

sullen pagoda
#

1k just from 2 benthic pieces

#

10/10 game

worldly iron
#

really, really can't wait for benthic to be gone

strange python
#

i thinc benthic was the most stupid the could do

#

i just waisted so many pearls just to get the right item whit slot, dont understand why they had to make this

sullen pagoda
#

eh its kinda boring design but at least its something you can work towards

#

use alts to send tokens

#

and save on main to upgrade

strange python
#

yeah i did ^^

#

collecting on 3 alts

#

but i cant put that much time in it im father whit famaly and 2 children ๐Ÿ˜›

#

so i should go for crit on gems but stay whit hast enchant on rings?

bronze kelp
#

benthic is the biggest bullshit blizz has made this addon ...

#

im gambling for so long for bracers now, and still need hands :/

strange python
#

i got boots and hands now, whats the next peace i should aim for? bracers?

#

@sullen pagoda and @worldly iron thx so much for ure time and help ๐Ÿ™‚

sullen pagoda
#

npnp

#

id go for belt tbh

worldly iron
#

no problem

sullen pagoda
#

one of lowest chances to get bad item

strange python
#

thats a good idea, but does belt have that much impact like the bracers?

#

im changing 445 items for 420... thx blizzard xD

sullen pagoda
#

belt did more than wrists and hands together lmao

strange python
#

53k dps?

#

good job ๐Ÿ™‚

sullen pagoda
#

thanks ๐Ÿ˜„

strange python
#

okay im aiming for the belt hehe

#

how long was ure fight? did you played 3 tanks?

sullen pagoda
#

2 tanks 4 healers

#

3min 23sec

strange python
#

3min 23 sec wtf xD u guys got dmg from hell :p

worldly iron
#

it was sivara, not ashvane

strange python
#

ah okay ^^

sullen pagoda
#

ye sivara

strange python
#

my bad xD

sullen pagoda
#

on ashvane i had only 48.5k pepehands

worldly iron
#

I did another sim with haste for the heck of it, and it shows how close crit and haste really is for assassination

#

5 dps difference

strange python
#

thx for that buddy ๐Ÿ™‚

worldly iron
#

of course there are some slight differences in enchants etc, but the point still stands

strange python
#

sould i stay haste if i want to play m+ as assa?

sullen pagoda
#

u dont want haste for m+

strange python
#

k il go then for the first sim whit crit

#

whats the best azerite gear i should aim for? 3x nothing personal?

worldly iron
#

using droptimizer and simming yourself with top gear will probably always be the best option

strange python
#

do i have to be premium for that?

worldly iron
#

I think you can only run one gear slot at a time without premium, but it should still be viable

strange python
#

im trying right now

worldly iron
#

for me, currently, I'd want gorak tul's for shoulder and hood of the slithering loa since they sim like upgrades for me

#

at least the last time I ran droptimizer

strange python
#

seems like it dont shows you azerite gear if ure not premium

worldly iron
#

no it seems to work fine, you go to Droptimizer -> enter character realm and name -> Press Azerite Vendor -> Pick a category

#

you can only do all 3 categories at once if you're premium, one category at a time works for free

strange python
#

okay thx, ill try it now

#

now its working but i cant see the items from raid

#

i just wanted to know if there are azerit items on hc i sould im for

drifting cloud
#

you already have them

worldly iron
#

ah, right. you just choose Eternal Palace instead

#

on Heroic

#

also yes, you do have them, doubt there's anything else you'd want

strange python
#

okay thx ๐Ÿ™‚

#

u just tried now to use aszahara tinket and wait for coral

#

works pretty good ๐Ÿ™‚ thx boys

#

nut just sure about the opener now whit master assasin

worldly iron
#

sweet

#

!guide

prisma monolithBOT
worldly iron
#

with MA you just go garrote -> mutilate to 4cp-> rupture, that's the standard one

strange python
#

okay im opening still whit garrote okay

sullen pagoda
worldly iron
#

ah, thanks for clearing that up

#

sorry, was unaware it was officially changed

#

I read this one and automatically thought "well, it says no SS so of course it's MA"

#

big oops

rigid mango
#

Still think that MA opener is wrong, muti after vend and tb

blissful storm
#

wait what we dont garrote from stealth ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

rigid mango
#

If you don't have subterfuge and shrouded traits, no

#

Not really

blissful storm
#

the damage diff is so low tho

rigid mango
#

Yeah, so?

patent ridge
#

hi guys, theoretical undulating tides seems to be quite good, but as i progress in mythic i ve seen that it is only 1.5% max of my dps as some times the damage in unavoidable, so sims will go for UT ofc but i wanna know if u guys are using it, atm to me the other option is scent of blood so i dont really know FeelsWeird

rigid mango
#

It's bad.

sullen pagoda
#

look up the uptime in logs nad in raidbots u can sim with specific uptime

edgy pawn
#

You can check the debuff uptime in your logs and sim accordingly

rigid mango
#

Just don't use it GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

patent ridge
#

i'm getting old, i didnt even know raidbots had such a thing, ty guys for the fast answer

autumn swan
#

Hey guys, does anyone know the APL difference between wowprogress and raidbots? I seem to sim +5k dps on wowprogress with the same parameters, can't figure out why.

worldly iron
autumn swan
#

I am specifically talking about assa's APL though

sullen pagoda
#

dont ever look at wowprogress "sims" its hot pile of garbage

worldly iron
#

sure, but it's still a question of how two websites handle things. it's a fine line, really, so I guess it's blobshrug

granite rampart
#

i think by default wowprog sim is 500 seconds compared to 300 sec default raidbots sim. another thing you can do is hover your mouse over the wowprog sim dps to see which version of the apl it is using as it may be using an out-dated one.

rigid mango
surreal hawk
#

quick question is the bug still in where if u apply 4 garrots with subterfuge all of them lose the out of stealth dmg buff?

balmy quest
#

bug? the last garrote will be after subterfuge ends so it will overlap with a non-empowered one

#

seems working as intended

surreal hawk
#

no on 4 different tragets

royal lantern
#

he means on multidot situations

#

wich was a bug 1year ago

worldly iron
#

it was fixed very long ago

royal lantern
#

and idk why people think that bugs that are 1year old now are still relevant lol

surreal hawk
#

i just didnt know if it was fixed

steady owl
#

But should you do a fourth garrote or rupture?

worldly iron
#

rupture

rigid mango
worldly iron
#

you only ever really do 3 emp garrotes and then ruptures

rigid mango
#

If you're above 2 target, you only apply empowered garrotes.

worldly iron
#

he was talking 4 targets

steady owl
#

I realised it was a stupid question the moment I typed it

rigid mango
steady owl
#

But thatโ€™s new to me though, when Iโ€™m fighting a pack of mobs in a dungeon I only do 3 garrottes and then ruptures, no garrotes when itโ€™s off cd? Is it because itโ€™s a wasted global?

#

I mean that itโ€™s better to use eb?

worldly iron
#

yeah, it's a wasted global

#

I think you want 5-6 bleeds running for the energy regeneration. the less haste you have, the more bleeds you'll need

#

@rigid mango tell em

rigid mango
#

If you have 11%+ or above haste, you need 4 bleeds, if you have below, you need 5

#

You generally go g g g > rup > build > rup > fok spam/prio damage or whatever

#

You then reapply bleeds as ruptures when they start to fall off

steady owl
#

This place is a goldmine. Thanks a lot guys ๐Ÿ˜„

sour wasp
#

i'm blushing

rigid mango
#

You're as always, of such help

tropic ocean
#

one mans waste is another mans treasure

robust river
#

Was literally just going to ask about this. I assume you still use Envenom's in AOE once Garrote/Rupture are down on targets? Is there a set amount of mobs where FOK spam just does more damage than Envenom even when capped on CP?

#

I assume it's not as simple math as 5CP Envenom = 16%*5 AP = 80% vs FOK doing 20.5% per target thus 4 (82%) targets = FOK spam > using CP on Envenom?

tropic ocean
#

you basically just put bleeds to sustain energy

#

build with fok and envenom into mobs that need to die quickly

#

if you want more overall you use less envenom

robust river
#

So only envenom if there is a priority target? If not, just spam FOK?

tropic ocean
#

if you want to kill a hard mob fast you use more envenom

robust river
#

Ok sounds good

tropic ocean
#

there was some sheet around in this discord where u could fill in your stuff and it would tell u when fok >> envenom but i cant remember who posted it

robust river
#

Ah no worries. I'm new to rogue, haven't played it in a few expans so just getting to grips with everything again.

tropic ocean
#

it usually wont make too much of a super big diff and it has really good value to kill the shitty mobs fast

robust river
#

In general (I know simming will give most accurate results) is haste or crit the priority for Assassination? I've seen a couple of difference sources say each.

sour wasp
#

st or m+?

robust river
#

Both I guess, does it vary for raid vs mythic+?

sour wasp
#

m+ you aim for as much crit as possible while sacrificing as much haste for it

#

st is all over the place depending on what the sim says

#

but haste is up there

robust river
#

Ah ok, will keep that in mind then. Is multilate build (triple double dose essence) generally seen as the optimal build for Assassination?

full pond
#

somebody used weakaure2?

glacial crypt
#

Triple DD is really strong

sour wasp
#

3dd isn't a necessity but it is really good

glacial crypt
#

The traits you use can vary fight to fight, and if you're going in to m+

sour wasp
#

combinations of 2dd+ ttk+ np are good too

robust river
#

I use WA2 @full pond

#

NP = Nothin Personal, wahts TTK?

sour wasp
#

twist the knife

robust river
#

Ah, the list i was looking at didn't have it in for some reason

sour wasp
#

2dd 2np 1ttk

#

the inner/ EP traits are also relevant

#

e.g op, loyal, swirling sands

robust river
#

The stacking of NP, does that give 80 energy over 20 seconds instead of 40 then?

#

Or does it double the duration to 80E over 40s?

spark oyster
#

stacking NP only increases the damage component of the trait

robust river
#

Ah that sucks

tropic ocean
#

for raid it comes down to your azerite

#

in a perfect world 3x dd will be highest simming yeah

robust river
#

According to WOW TTK buff extension, SS combo point don't stack either so are good 1 point wonders I'd assume

tropic ocean
#

but theres several very decent options like behemoth chest orgozoa shoulders

#

if u cant happen to get cephalohide/gorak

full pond
#

@robust river what do good the weakaura?

tropic ocean
#

ss and ttk are good stack traits

robust river
#

So for a starting gear set I was 1 NP, 1 SS then as many DD or TTK I can find with decent secondaries?

tropic ocean
#

due to the dmg increase

#

(for m+ that is)

#

in raid you really just use your highest simming pieces it comes down to what you have access to

sour wasp
#

yeah, what aus said, 3dd might be the best but the thing is, the inner traits are really relevant, and that's why behemoth chest, which doesn't have dd, sims the best

#

because of loyal and overwhelming power

tropic ocean
#

except for undulating tides trait, its a simbait ๐Ÿ˜›

robust river
#

@full pond I use Luxthos WA2 pack. Best things are Garrote/Rupture highlight the refresh time rather than just showing when they expire. Doesn't have timers on everything though which I dislike and need to add.

#

Wait, pieces of gear has set traits? In my head I had it down as random asin you can could roll each piece of gear with different traits (i haven't played much BFA)

#

I was thinking we'd gone very Diablo

sour wasp
#

yeah they do

#

not random

full pond
#

@robust river Thanks I needed that

robust river
#

No worries

full pond
#

@robust river Bro, where can dowload the Lucthos WA2 in app Twich ?

#

robust river
#

Do Afenars pack have the garrote/rupture pandemic timer in built does anyone know?

#

And the enhanced marker for rupture/garrote?

arctic walrus
#

They glow when in pandemic range yes

robust river
#

How about highlighting when it's an enhanced one so shouldn't be refreshed early? Thanks

tropic ocean
#

If you like the afenar pack more just copy the condition for the highlight from the other pack and add it to it

#

If it doesnt have it

#

or display whatever it is

#

Pretty sure @civic palm can help you hes weak aura master

arctic walrus
#

It doesn't show empowered garrote

robust river
#

Ah perfect. I'll have a play if I get on tonight.

Sorry i just gotta ask this but is assassin rogue supposed to be useing Force Manipulater for there wepion enchants im seeing some people usieng Quick and deadly nav

ocean jasper
#

Check sim for enchants

tropic ocean
#

Force is not bad

#

It was top simming until recently for me so best bet is to sim

low junco
#

@sterile ocean checking random people wont help you, you should do a sim and check which is the best

versed mica
#

is mut still good for pushing keys? Or should I play outlaw?

#

Asking bc of outlaw blade flurry nerf

civic palm
#

Dunno, look at RiO? It's probably very obvious.

rigid mango
#

@versed mica both are good, outlaw slightly better but sin works just as well

verbal knot
#

Sin is good but you'll be terrible if you just smash buttons

versed mica
#

What do you mean by that?

rigid mango
#

Sin takes more thinking

#

of when to do what

#

It has more stages where you want to be doing different things, and it differs dependant on pulls/traits/objective/level

#

etc.

lone junco
#

@versed mica pushing keys like 111111111211111212222111112? thats outlaw

rigid mango
#

Don't forget pushing bladeflurry

lone junco
#

outlaw has a bunch of buttons these days.

How do you guys manage cds for Zaqul?

#

๐Ÿค”

rigid mango
#

Mythic or heroic

tropic ocean
#

use 1st dmg buff

#

Then 2nd add

#

If u go down

#

If not just use with dmg buff

#

depends on strat.

How accurate is raidbots' mythic+ sim setting?

latent fog
#

hello all, what should i focus to upgrade here? iv seen rogues with lower ilvls doing better dps :/

sacred anvil
#

not enough benthic gear honestly

latent fog
#

do benthic make a huge difference?

sacred anvil
#

better get to rolling xD and yea it can if you roll the right ones

latent fog
#

hahah

#

ok thanks

sacred anvil
#

get a socket on them too makes it better should be a list on wowhead as well for the best ones

latent fog
#

guess ill be on najtar for a long time now hahah

rigid mango
#

@versed mica not very for sin, atleast.

tight topaz
#

Okay, so I've looked everywhere for an answer and I'm stuck. It seems like a silly question, but is there a talent or trait that takes Garrote off cd? I've watched aoe guides and they are just spamming garrote on three targets before the fight and then proceeding with their aoe rotation. Please note I've been playing rogue for a whole 72 hours so I'm a scrub lol

Damn, I must've read over the no cooldown line. I feel dumb. Thanks Zine

#

After choosing the upgrades recommended by raidbots end up with uneven stats that are either too low or too high. Is there a way to balance stats out cause all raidbots does is give values. or am i doing something wrong?

#

What do you mean balance stats out?

rigid mango
#

There's nothing as "uneven" or "even" stats

#

Some stats are better, some worse. Different specs have different baseline of those stats. Sin per example has very high baseline mastery

strange python
#

like 1st run of raidbots gives me stats which makes certain values go higher and when i run sim again it tells me i need to lower those values which were meant to be higher in 1st sim run...hope that makes sense

rigid mango
#

You shouldn't be using stat weights

#

If that's what you're doing

strange python
#

am getting stats weights and putting them in pawn to give me gear suggestions...

rigid mango
#

Yeah, don't.

#

Use top gear.

#

Stat weights don't take into account the weights after you've changed a piece accordingly

#

Top gear does

#

So when you sim with top gear, it'll tell you best possible combination of your current pieces

verbal knot
#

It's worth using. I was like "Ughhh I have to download a thing that's so haaaard" but eventually when I finally did it was like a whole new world

strange python
#

ah okay. i will give it a try. tyanks ๐Ÿ™‚

verbal knot
#

now most of my parses are 85+ which considering they were green two weeks ago, I'm pretty happy about that

strange python
#

The stat weights are going to change every time you equip a new piece too - you will be chasing your tail if all you do is check stat weights

rigid mango
#

Stat weights are only really used to try to figure out logic behind choices and how they impact your gear

strange python
#

so should i just delete pawn?

rigid mango
#

Can do.

#

I got rid of pawn, and I frequently use top gear instead

#

pawn is very useful when you're gearing a char on low ilvl

#

the basic weights of stats can be used for a while there since there's too many things negativly impacting your gear to care about that

#

But when you're having to do proper choices of proper pieces, top gear is far superior.

jaunty crystal
#

@latent fog Your shoulders aren't the best either.

latent fog
#

yeah that shoulder sucks, im using just for the ilvl

rigid mango
#

They're not atrocious ๐Ÿคท

jaunty crystal
#

actually I think 65 heart is your next biggest upgrade lol

rigid mango
#

hard to beat flat 2k dmg ish

jaunty crystal
#

yea. That along with some benthic gear could bring him to the high 40k area

sullen pagoda
#

the guy is simming 44k he has everything to upgrade basically ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿฟ

latent fog
#

yeahh, what is the best way to farm azerite? there its one ? lol

we're just discussing what his biggest upgrades are.

I only have them upgraded to 415 so far and they already sim higher

raven locust
#

It took me almost a thousand pearls to get all socketed benthic for each slot ;/

#

With some upgrading of the other slots inbetween

Get lucid r3

arctic walrus
#

Font, zaqul helm, full 425 benthic, lucid 3, Mecha rings

verbal knot
#

Font if you can manage it would probably be about 1k

swift moss
#

Been rolling for weeks and that stupid boss and cant get it to drop

#

Been trying on zaq helm too

verbal knot
#

Yeah I mean you aren't at a bad spot, once you get Rank 3 lucid, 2nd passive slot, and gear out your benthic you will probably be close to 50k. I hear that question a lot but I think people underestimate how big of an impact it has

#

like 42-45 isn't bad at all if you don't have font of 65

swift moss
#

Would heroic zaq helm be better than the 445 np ttk helm?

verbal knot
#

I cheat and use Engi helm, it's pretty good

arctic walrus
#

Nah probably not

#

If you're not raiding mythic you probably won't be hitting 50k

inland plover
#

i simmed it for me it is, but you should sim it for yourself to be sure

royal lantern
#

i mean

#

i have 0 mythic gear cus of REALLY bad luck

#

and still got the 50k

swift moss
#

I cant raid mythic cause my guild is some straight garbage mongos, been looking for a better guild but cant cause I can really only play on weekends

rigid mango
#

tbh, if you're at 42k nearly every piece can be upgraded

Anyone here use AskMrRobot. How does it compare to RaidBots?

cobalt pelican
#

nobody can really know how it compares considering it's a black box basically

#

people use simc because it's community supported and you can see what is happening with it, why and make changes if you would like

robust river
#

Ah OK. I paid for AskMrRobot before I knew about simcraft and stuff. Will keep using AMR and check it against SIMCraft every so often

#

Already paid for the year haha, was like ยฃ12.

placid mulch
#

Yikes, so got 445 tentacle laced Spaulders today and 435 goraks still simming higher

fleet whale
#

OP is OP

placid mulch
#

Would the tentacle be technically โ€œmore consistentโ€ since I wouldnโ€™t be dealing with BBI procs

tropic ocean
#

more consistent yes

placid mulch
#

Or nah just listen to sims

fleet whale
#

well, BBI is also more versatile

tropic ocean
#

i mean if its not a big dps difference

#

might as well take the stam

placid mulch
#

Itโ€™s 200 on sim

#

So real life application might not change

drifting cloud
#

200 isnt that little

#

thats almost a socket, would you rather have an item without a socket? ๐Ÿ˜„

fleet whale
#

i mean assuming a 45k sim (which i'm sure you sim higher), it's just below a 0.5% dps increase. It's up to you though if you want the higher ilvl or more damage. You could always switch around on bosses that are on farm

placid mulch
#

Kinda where Iโ€™m leaning tbh, maybe give it a go on prog. What Iโ€™m leaning towards is trying to get Blackwater chest now to have tentacle be my source of NP and get that Loyal mastery

#

Iโ€™ve got the reverent adoration chest so could be improved

tropic ocean
#

once u got blackwater tentacle will mostly sim higher

#

Im using same setup and tentacle 445 >> 435 gorak for me as only source of np

placid mulch
#

Weโ€™ve got at least 2 maybe 3 people taking Not loyal on that ring because there isnโ€™t a consensus to use it or not

#

So if I get chest Iโ€™m going to start bribing

desert vault
#

I have crap m+ traits this week ... wish I could somehow get a set of 445 with 3x ss or ttk really. Can only ever peice together 3x eb endlessly

Oh wait would do 3x ss, 2x eb, 1x ttk but that sounds awful

What are some good trinkets to shoot for that are good for M+?

#

Not sure if coral+font is all that great for aoe

arctic walrus
#

spyglass, dice

halcyon skiff
#

Can someone give me an opener with font/coral double dose, master ass build please, so many mixed opinions I can't get it exact

#

Mut rup mut garrote CLF vend TB vanish enven?

#

Or do we hold vend until coral

deft nymph
#

font at 18 secs

#

on pull timer

#

then do normal opener and apply coral when it's avail

#

then you can font when it comes up and rip coral after your vanish during vend

shy dust
#

18 seconds?

deft nymph
#

oh wait that's the fire mage timer i guess you can do a lil later for rouge :p

shy dust
#

6-4 seconds prepull

#

I usually use it at 6 seconds cause people like to pull early

deft nymph
#

doesn't that give you a good bit of your 2nd vend without bonus crit tho?

shy dust
#

Thereโ€™s information on font + coral usage in TC updates

latent drum
#

hello guys i dont know if this is the place for my question or not . in zaqul fight i assigned to be in Delirium Realm the question is should i save my cos and preuse and take dmg to get out without Shattered Psyche or use it inside to reset Hysteria to stay as long as i can .

arctic walrus
#

You reset your stacks and stay longer

cobalt pelican
#

you still have to take the stun if you intentionally leave via a tentacle smash don't you

arctic walrus
#

yes

@arctic walrus ty for reply

When you don't have spyglass+dice yet, is any passive trinket okay?

#

@deft nymph u dont care about coral in first vendetta

#

For 2nd and further u align it to have font and coral inside it

raw oasis
#

u dont care about coral in first vendetta

Cast ASAP to get it ticking though.

#

You won't get the crit buff during first vendetta is what he means

desert vault
#

this week is just meh for M+ ...

#

I don't even know what to run really

#

think a 1x eb, 3x ss, 2x ttk or 1x eb, 2x ss, 3x ttk build is better this week?

cobalt pelican
#

i think 3ttk builds are pretty bad outside super niche situations to be honest

arctic walrus
#

what're the affixes

cobalt pelican
#

tyrannical raging necrotic i think

arctic walrus
#

Yea an ss probably has more value than 1ttk

#

feelcraft tho

desert vault
#

I can do 3x ss, 1x eb and 2x ttk which might be ok

#

or I guess I should have stuff to just do 2/2/2 which is prolly pretty solid this week as well

arctic walrus
#

Maybe the 222 to get extra value out of eb

#

helps clear packs faster for the tank idfk

desert vault
#

right, I got a Cowl for my 445 this week, so stuck with the SS/EB on it for now

arctic walrus
#

Depending on the dungeon pulls, either go with 222 for bigger aoe, and 321 for more cleave

desert vault
#

I will try 3x ss, 2x eb, 1x ttk cause its all 445s, just to see how it feels on some smaller keys maybe

tepid fractal
#

depends on crit rating as well

desert vault
#

usually in the 36-40 range

tepid fractal
#

not much. i would go for 3x ss

desert vault
#

I am for now cause its all 445, think the 2/2/2 would be one 430 and the others 445s

arctic walrus
#

ilvl doesn't mean much on gear for m+

tepid fractal
#

ilvl means equally in all situations

desert vault
#

yeah I know ilvl isn't too much of a deal in m+, actually 2/2/2 would be a 420 and 445s

#

I think I ran that last week, so will just try the 3/2/1 for something different and prolly end up back at the 2/2/2 before its over with cause that is just a solid build

#

I was hoping for the dang Flashpowder on my roll today, no luck

tropic ocean
#

Im going 3 ss for sure

lapis shale
#

Hey guys, I started playing rogue for raiding a while ago, but my parses suck af, I have logs for today's mythic fights, I used wowanalyzer but it doesn't seem to say much, can anyone read my logs and tell me (at least a few tips) to improve my performance?

#

I have to say I don't have coral and also don't have font

young jewel
#

Question: Progging Azshara and the hulk is breaking KS like..instantly roughly 30% of the time. Looking at logs there isn't really anything lining up with the time stamp of the break that seems like it should be doing anything to it. Wondering if anybody has an answer

Your warrior charging it?

thank god i got my cephalo today

#

only coral and 2 benthics to go as most important items

rigid sonnet
#

how do u guys sim for assa m+?

bronze kelp
#

u cant sim for m+ like for st

#

you just can sim for different situations and then adapt for a overall m+ gear

rigid sonnet
#

so how do u guys pick out upgrades / best setups for m+ in general?

bronze kelp
#

always depening on what your aim is for m+

#

in most cases i prefer crit/mastery and crit/versa gear over anything with haste

#

cause haste has on trash no real value

#

as you get energy via bleeds

#

so haste only because important on bosses. but with essences you get enough haste to ignore it on your gear

#

im playing with bote major and lucid + iris minor

#

so if i wanna know if something is an upgrade, i sim for multi target fights with 6-10 targets

#

also best setup always depends on dungeon and affixes

@shut pasture I can't read the cirylic, so really can't say.

shut pasture
#

it's 361 vers 177 mastery

#

also at how many targets do we just spam FoK

#

7+ right?

pseudo hamlet
#

@shut pasture I think that crit is better for M+.

I'm no sure if that's right, but I just spam FoK + finishers in M+ if I have >2 targets (keep in mind I have 2xTTK, 2xSS, 2xEB). After applying garrotes with Subterfuge of course.

bronze kelp
#

@shut pasture depends on how many EB traits you have and if you have ttk, and if there is a prio target or not

shut pasture
#

@bronze kelp Elaborate please?

#

here's my character

rigid mango
#

You fok spam and ignore cp at 5+ targets

shut pasture
#

is 3 fok traits suboptimal

#

I have 2 ttk 3 fok 1 ss

rigid mango
#

I only use 3 for fort fh/ml

#

2 for rest

shut pasture
#

I'd switch up fok for 1 more ttk but i dont have other 445 piece

rigid mango
#

SS and TTK are very good for beguiling

#

3 SS for kr and tos

#

3 ttk is quite good for bolst weeks

shut pasture
#

I hope my new helmet is ttk ss

#

in 2 weeks

#

so I can get 2/2/2

robust river
#

Does swapping traits constantly not cost you a bomb in gold? Or do you try and keep a second set of gear for mythics?

vestal wren
#

so, did anyone actually prove that ttk is good or is it still used bc. of popular public opinion?

shut pasture
#

is this sarcastic

vestal wren
#

the majority does not switch traits, often also bc they dont have enough spare parts

#

is this sarcastic
if that was targeted at my question the answer is no.

rigid mango
#

@robust river yes and no, it doesn't really cost a lot if you can play around it

night vale
#

@vestal wren i've not seen anything, believe seems to be popular opinion still.

I've experimented with it a lot yesterday due to having sub optimal azerite gear atm, and im not massive fan of it

rigid mango
#

Didn't know you'd experimented with it fuu

#

Please do tell your findings from playing sin with ttk in m+ fuu.

vestal wren
#

you are totally right

#

given i have less experience then other top players those should have an interesst in the math i guess

#

so, you try to put responsibilities on the wrong person

rigid mango
#

I suppose we should all ignore top players and listen to a sub onetrick who plays no m+?

tropic ocean
#

arguments dont get better or worse by the lvl of the person that says it plays at

#

theres top players that use 3ss 3 eb straight

#

so

#

just saying something cuz player x says so doesn't make it correct

modest tendon
#

I have found in some dungeons priority single target is much better than overall damage, siege being one, unfortunately I realise outlaw does priority damage better, Iโ€™m thinking Iโ€™m going to take 3ss, 3eb into every dungeon I can and dungeons where thatโ€™s a terrible idea I will go outlaw

shut pasture
#

atal dazar

tropic ocean
#

@shut pasture itis, i time atal 18 ez with everoyne doing 38~40k so you're good

modest tendon
#

Try to aim for 40k

shut pasture
#

I went for focus damage

#

focusing casters

#

big birds

#

etc

tropic ocean
#

last week I played 3 ss 2-3 eb exclusively and had pretty good results with it

vestal wren
#

i think the point where you try to attack my reliability to win an argument
is the one you admid you cant win the argument

modest tendon
#

Same, itโ€™s great being able to pad like crazy

tropic ocean
#

its not only good for overall

#

vanish ss on prio does insane prio dmg as well

#

with 3 ss traits

modest tendon
#

SS EB works very well if you min max for mastery and crit also

tropic ocean
#

with 3 ss+ exsang u'll have more prio than 3 ttk build but less overall so im not sure if its worth it

modest tendon
#

Iโ€™ve not touched exsang much, maybe I should try and learn it

vestal wren
#

i dont think exsang is as compatitive

#

ss provides good prio, and as pulls are scripted you can easily get value from restelths

modest tendon
#

Exsang only does marginally less than tb overall though

tropic ocean
#

i played 2/2/2 and even 3 ttk 1 eb for a while, because of limited azerite, atm im using 1 ttk 3 ss 2 eb or 3ss 3eb depending on dungeon/affix and the results are good so personally I came to the conclusion that ttk is not the answer to everything and it heavily depends on group comp and dungeon to decide what trait combination you pick

modest tendon
#

Team comp is important as well though, I run with a boomie a lot and they offer all the single target my group could ever need, thereโ€™s really no reason not to just do as much as possible overall in most keys

tropic ocean
#

anyway, everyone should try out himself and use what he feels/gets the best results with, blindly following top tier players is a bad thing, as 99% of ppl talking here don't play the dungeons close to what these players play

#

so yeah for seli it wont matter to have good prio dmg when hes still doing 50k overall with 2 other 50k blasters

#

for random rogue xy where ppl just do 35k overall it might be a good thing to increase overall to time the dungeon

modest tendon
#

Ttk does feel excellent to play though, itโ€™s nice having your envenoms really punch

tropic ocean
#

it is, and it has its use and does a good job at it, but its not the solution to save mankind as it is praised most of the time

vestal wren
#

you should try subtlety, evi "punches" a lot more

modest tendon
#

If sub was good I would probably main it haha

#

I like the gameplay but my opinion right now is that outlaw does it the best

vestal wren
#

yes

#

even tho the nerfs are noticable

tropic ocean
#

if u like sub and depending on ur key height just play it

#

u cant compete with sin or outlaw but if you just like the gameplay and can time the keys you play with it just go for it

modest tendon
#

Siege and WM, sub is still really viable tbh

tropic ocean
#

its a game after all so if you can do what you like with a spec you enjoy theres nothing holding you back

modest tendon
#

Figuring out the best builds is as fun as playing them imo

strange python
#

What should be 3rd essence for sin in raid?

modest tendon
#

Iris

#

Or the better answer

#

Sim your self

strange python
#

Sure, thanks!

tropic ocean
#

usually iris

#

unless u need to target swap a lot

#

or to phrase it better, where u drop the stacks often/or where other essences are just better/competitive

#

orgozoa/zaqul for example

#

or queen azshara as well

strange python

Yeah, ill see how ill be with iris on some bosses

solemn pollen
#

I think i read yesterday that using a normal garrote at 2+ targets is a waste. Do you simply skip garrote completely and keep up only rup?

winter moss
#

where did you read that

solemn pollen
#

Further up in this chat

sour wasp
#

that's m+ you read, and it was about garrotes outside subterfuge

solemn pollen
#

Yes, exactly

sour wasp
#

and yeah, it was true, besides the 3 garrotes on the opener you don't garrote anymore

solemn pollen
#

So if you are facing three targets for example .You do your 3x garrotes and then only refresh rups?

#

Even if it makes you fall below the x bleeds threshold?

sour wasp
#

that's exactly right

obtuse cedar
#

Bbi sims slightly higher than NP (17 dps to be exact). Should I get NP for single target to get rid of the bbi RNG ? Unsure as fuck

tropic ocean
#

you don't fall below x bleeds treshhold

#

in m+ u use 3 empored garrotes and 2 ruptures mostly

#

and when the garrotes fall off

#

you do 5 ruptures

#

@obtuse cedar i would, yes

solemn pollen
#

But if there are only 3 targets @tropic ocean

sour wasp
#

17 dps is nothing @obtuse cedar

obtuse cedar
#

Indeed it is, thanks big boys GWcmeisterPeepoLove

tropic ocean
#

if there are only 3 targets you will keep up 5 dots regardless to sustain your energy

#

so 2 garrote 3 rupture

solemn pollen
#

So at 3 targets you still want 2x garrote

#

yes, okay

tropic ocean
#

or depending on your haste

#

1x garrote 3x rupture

#

as much as you need to sustain energy

solemn pollen
#

11% is the break roughly right?

tropic ocean
#

i think its < or > 5

#

but idk

#

i have 7% and i need 5 bleeds

#

๐Ÿ˜„

solemn pollen
#

Yeah i think i have read 11%. Above that is 4 bleeds

shut garnet
#

would 440 inkpod be better than either 430 socketted font or 430coral for the ashvane fight

#

given 2 on use is slightly clunky to use etc

worldly iron
#

coral font is giga

#

none of my sims favor my 430 socketed inkpod over 430 font+coral

winter moss
#

2 onuse isnt too bad to use

#

font is a blessing tho

shut garnet
#

jeez okay

#

idk i thought maybe inkpod coral might be rly good especially since you can stack until like 33% then just pop coral

#

and get big crit with inkpod

worldly iron
#

I really liked inkpod on ashvane prog before I got my font

wet ruin
#

am I the only one that actually thinks font + coral makes assa rotation smoother

I'm always using font+coral now because it's just really, really good

wet ruin
#

I don't know, granted it delays vendetta a bit, but it just feels better

winter moss
#

i mean you channel the trinket while you are pooling which makes the time feel worth more

wet ruin
#

exactly

shut garnet
#

do you normally make it so you channel it on cd?

#

or do you channel it with 14s on vendetta so you get 10s of vendetta with font and the other 10 with coral crit

wet ruin
#

I find that my third font (or second in fight if you get to that point) is a bit delayed

#

but its either delaying tb, or using font during tb, so I choose to delay font

tropic ocean
#

@shut garnet channel when vendetta is <20s cd

lemme help you

Condensed Life-Force:
In the opener, after MA/Subt window, before vendetta and then on cooldown as it's not buffed by any of your other Rogue abilities. Minor gain in some situations holding for 3rd Vendetta (Providing you don't miss a cast) due to the haste procs.

Ah, right

NP is useful, yeah, it's good as a 1st trait, but it's not "needed"

You should be able to sim gear with similar traits on just an NP instead of a TTK or whatnot

and see the potential diff

I mean, what could you be using instead?

the shoulders frome the 3rd boss in eternal palace with loyal to the end

timber pawn
#

simmed 44th percentile

#

lacking third essence probably hamstrings me alot

#

I didn't come back to game till 3 weeks after EP launched after 18 month layoff

#

so ive been grinding my balls off trying to level neck, get essences, achieves for essences, etc

tropic ocean
#

u have 2x 430 azerite as well

timber pawn
#

yea haven't had any luck getting better peices with the right traits

tropic ocean
#

Getting them 450 (behemoth chest/ first boss or gambe helm) will up ur dps a lot too

#

u can try to do top gear/gear compare to see how much dps benthic neck and azerite will give

timber pawn
#

running 3 double dose 2 nothing personal 1 overwhleming power atm

tropic ocean
#

Just from gearing u are very off like obviously your parse will be lower this late in tier

#

As geared rogues log 50k dps + on that boss

#

Sim ur char 4min patchwerk and see

#

How far ur sivara is actually off

timber pawn
#

running

timber pawn
#

4 min patchwerk sim comes back at 44816

tropic ocean
#

so about 6k off

timber pawn
#

yep

#

trying to improve my dot reapplications to maximze

#

can i really be losing that much dps from that?

tropic ocean
#

try to refresh pandemic somewhat better and keep garrote up better

#

No its a mix of many small things

#

That add up

#

Also be sure u have 100% uptime during vendetta/tb so only move if u really have too

#

Cloak/pot/vial is ur friend

timber pawn
#

im using vial 7 seconds pre-pull then stealth and pre-pot

#

sorry font

tropic ocean
#

Ye thats correct

timber pawn
#

what do you mean by vial im not familiar with that or im having a brainfart

tropic ocean
#

Crimson vial your heal cd

timber pawn
#

oh yea

tropic ocean
#

Using cds to ignore movement or mechanics is good for dps

timber pawn
#

ok so try to cheese more stuff with feint / vial / cloak

low junco
#

i wish i had 100% uptime on vendetta

winter moss
wet ruin
#

@low junco you simmed with 445 shoulders lol

low junco
#

looking spicy

#

i saw @wet ruin

lost tree
wet ruin
#

what did you have equipped anyways to have that +30k dps lol

low junco
#

outlaw gear

atomic willow
#

I know the dungeonslice on raidbots isn't great for simmin sin.....whats the best way to sim for M+

rigid mango
#

You can't really

atomic willow
#

ok so for M+ if i have 445 inkpod and arcane tempest with a 430 spyglass what would be the best 2 for M+

#

spyglass inkpod?

serene surge
#

Which are the three azerite pieces that I want to get?

scarlet sequoia
#

zaqul/pvp head, gorak tul's mantle and blackwater behemoth chest

#

or cephalohide/pvp chest

timber pawn
#

you want blackwater behemost chest even without double dose?

frozen karma
#

Is 2 Loyal to the end overkill? I currently have shoulders and chest with it

shell lodge
#

w8 is Ashvane an Aberration boss ?

rigid mango
#

not really

#

No

#

Only orgo and zaqul

#

@timber pawn yes

tropic ocean
#

@atomic willow spyglass for sure

#

inkpod doesnt seem very good on m+ would rather use dice ashvane or whatever

timber pawn
#

even if running master assassin or only if running subterfuge?

rigid mango
#

You run ttk

#

on blackwater chest

timber pawn
#

twist the knife and shrouded?

rigid mango
#

No, loyal.

timber pawn
#

ok

lost horizon
#

Just make sure at least 4 others in raid are using it as well (can also adjust that number when simming)

frozen karma
#

you can check with a WA how many people are using it

turbid osprey
#

cephalohide ๐Ÿ˜„

#

though, i already had 445 blackwater chest, do sims undervalue loyal to the end?

scarlet sequoia
#

ye

lost horizon
#

Slightly

scarlet sequoia
#

doesnt count people dying

#

blackwater chest is best

rigid mango
#

blackwater and cepha are near same value with 4 loyals

lost horizon
#

Also allows you to gear less into mastery

rigid mango
#

but ofc, any death -> it better

lost horizon
#

So you may sim a bit lower w/loyal if you already have a lot of mastery

rigid mango
#

Mastery isn't bad tho

scarlet sequoia
#

even without deaths blackwater is usually better

#

at least if youre human

turbid osprey
#

belf

scarlet sequoia
#

its 11 dps worse for me as belf now

rigid mango
#

Wasn't cepha better for u by like

#

50 dps

#

mh

scarlet sequoia
#

nah when i was human blackwater was best

#

now cepha is slightly better

rigid mango
scarlet sequoia
#

without deaths

lost horizon
#

Mastery isn't bad but most of the time it ends up worse than Crit/haste w/loyal

rigid mango
#

I mean, it's mainly CLF that makes crit vers and haste so valuable

#

CLF and benthics

#

all of them scale with vers/crit/haste iirc

lost horizon
#

Honestly makes more sense, but I remember seeing it swing a bit with loyal as well

turbid osprey
#

oh and 0 loyal allies, lets set that to 4 and run agin

lost horizon
#

Yeah

#

Default is 0

turbid osprey
#

49 630

#

16 dps less with 0 deaths

rigid mango
#

yeah, loyal devalues it

#

but ttk values it

turbid osprey
#

hmm, guess i use cepha on farm and blackwater on prog then

lost horizon
#

Right, but if you're comparing to cephalo anyways you'll have a ttk either way

#

@turbid osprey I'd just stick with Blackwater tbh

turbid osprey
#

could drop NP on my za'qul head for loyal instead though

lost horizon
#

16 DPS isn't significant even if no one dies

turbid osprey
#

to keep 3 DDs

#

yeah, true

#

and people do like dying

#

guess cepha goes in the outlaw set ๐Ÿ™‚

lost horizon
#

Its also good for M+

scarlet sequoia
#

loyal is bis on progress anyways

#

cus u have to focus on mechanics

#

so mastery will be better than double dose

#

more passive dmg

turbid osprey
#

yeah, fair point

scarlet sequoia
#

less dps loss from not doing dmg

turbid osprey
#

ooh and it means i can get rid of undulating in my outlaw set too

#

everythings coming up milhouse

frozen karma
#

undulating monkaW

turbid osprey
#

was that or paradise lost lol

#

ty for tips peeps

severe sedge
#

is this right?

#

seems like a 440 should be better than 430?

#

but i guess not

#

found my error

#

enchants was wrong

shy axle
#

anyone using inkpod in m+?

#

quite like it for outlaw but wondering if it makes sense to use it as assa

scenic saffron
#

why do some people play with raid essence over blood of the enemy for mythic azshara any ideas ?

atomic willow
#

seems like FoK would stack the inkpod great in M+

elder gulch
#

why does EB do so much more dmg with exsang on herodamage?

arctic walrus
#

@scenic saffron clf gives more damage on Azshara and 2nd add. Blood provides more damage for the 1st and 3rd adds. It's preference on what you deem your raid needs more damage on

tropic ocean
#

@elder gulch ?

#

thats a very vague statement

#

@scenic saffron maybe they dont have blood or need more dmg at other points of time in the encounter

vernal fern
#

Isnt the MA opener on Ravenholdt wrong ? Feels like overcapping a ton of CB, dunno if im just stupid

#

they say Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Rupture
Mutilate if still in master assassin window
Garrote
Vendetta
Toxic Blade
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Vanish
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom

slow mortar
#

Does anything rogue interact with inkpod? Vendetta, vanish, etc?

royal lantern
#

@slow mortar nope

#

master assassin crit bonus/vendetta dmg bonus is for rogue abilitys only

elder gulch
#

@tropic ocean on Herodamage if you go Boss w/adds or dungeon slice EB with exsang does more dmg than EB with TB

#

a lot more damage

tropic ocean
#

i guess its assuming 3 ss?

rigid mango
#

@vernal fern where are you overcapping there?

elder gulch
#

actually sorry ignore dungeon slice, just Bossw/adds

#

wait it's also using MA as a talent

tropic ocean
#

in short fights with ss traits exsang will do superior dmg over tb

vernal fern
#

Overcap if i do mut after rupture

rigid mango
#

????

arctic walrus
rigid mango
#

Overcap if u mut after finisher?

vernal fern
#

Avec rupture, I go mut which puts me at 4 cb, then garrote with puts me at 5, and then it says use TB and mutilate to 4 cb

#

after*

rigid mango
#

Yeah, muti to 4

royal lantern
#

...........what are you doing

rigid mango
#

If yoy're already over 4

#

You don't muti

#

Obv

arctic walrus
#

The only point you will potentially over cap if the tb

#

Which is ok

vernal fern
#

ok

rigid mango
#

Overcapping tb there is fine

#

And you're assuming full crits

vernal fern
#

kk thanks

#

where do i throw the bote here ? after tb or vanish ?

rigid mango
#

Bote > tb > vanish

winter gale
#

If I play with Coral + Inkpod do i still use coral conversation on both Ahsvane shield drops ?

#

Or Just at the 31% ?

#

Anyone ?

sinful cradle
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
rigid mango
#

@winter gale no

tropic ocean
#

use with vendetta and with coral again

#

inkpodi mean

#

this is just personal opinion but I never let it reach super high stacks as of diminishing return value of crit

#

if that makes sense to you

deft nymph
#

yeah you can sorta math out your crit chance and figure out how many stacks you need to make inkpod crit 100%

#

p sure on most fights you won't need to build stacks from the pull to 31% to force a crit

fleet whale
#

Just curious does Inkpod interact with BoTE?

deft nymph
#

now whether it's actually worth forcing a crit and not using it for vendettas is another story

rigid mango
#

Yes varolyn

#

It isn't, it's worth using coral with vend

#

atleast according to the current APL, but font + coral shit could've fucked with APL priorities

deft nymph
#

i wonder if like, fury warriors or other more gcd-capped specs

#

are getting more inkpod stacks than us

rigid mango
#

Yes, they are

#

Like outlaw
