#

But others sre fine too

#

I use on pull and then after 1st psychus and nzoth for the rest of the fight

orchid solstice
#

How many stacks do you vendetta psycus

#

And with current gear etc are people still doing 8 stacks total or is it less now

rigid mango
#

Uhhh, I used to vendetta when it hit like 7 ish? The fight is really around timers

#

So you use it so it times out just as it dies

#

That's all that matters

orchid solstice
#

Ah okay 👌🏻

rigid mango
#

But I don't use on psychus anymore and go full boss dmg so

#

Should be uhh

#

2:10 into fight give or take iirc

#

Or whatever it is

crimson palm
#

Looking from existing logs, people use it as soon as lust is casted

rigid mango
#

Cuz u lust at uhhh 2:30? So maybe 2:20

drifting cloud
#

nah you lust earlier

rigid mango
#

I can't remember by heart, honestly

crimson palm
#

Would depend on tentacle kill timer though

drifting cloud
#

at 2:30 psychus has to die

rigid mango
#

Ah right

#

Then yes

#

2:10 give or take

orchid solstice
#

You want to BL like 2:15 to get the 15 secs on psycus + 25 secs uptime on Nzoth ye?

#

If so I’ll try line vend up with that

rigid mango
#

2:13

#

Is when I used

#

Ish

orchid solstice
#

Thank you x

static glacier
#

boys need clarification on vanish usage ST /w Shrouded Suffocation + Sub and Vision of perf / BotE

#

do you just use it on cd so it lines up with Ven + BotE every 3rd cast?

rigid mango
#

In what context, m+?

static glacier
#

let's say any ST fight that goes to 5 mins

rigid mango
#

Really counter intuitive build outside of m+.

static glacier
#

or more

#

shhh, im still re-gearing

#

recently came back, unsubbed in 5.2

rigid mango
#

Just, don't use vop?

static glacier
#

8.2*

#

and mainly doing dungeons so far, just wondering how it goes if I do get into some pug raids

rigid mango
#

You don't play vop in raids w SS

static glacier
#

it's temporary zine, my gear is actual ass

#

im just trying to figure out what to do for now

#

until I can fix it

rigid mango
#

In m+ you just use vanish on trash and have it up for 2nd vend and you essentially get 2 openers, not really optimising for fights that go to 3rd vend

#

Just, use somethign else than vop

#

You must have iris or strife

#

Or even PP, tbh

crimson palm
rigid mango
#

That's the time left on your bleeds or?

crimson palm
#

Yeah

rigid mango
#

Reapply them and exsang?

rigid mango
crimson palm
#

So I don't worry about having exsang on full duration rupture?

orchid solstice
#

Mutilate garrotte (get 4-5 cp) use rupture, use exanguinate

rigid mango
#

I mean you prefer it but it's not like it's a HARD require

#

@scarlet sequoia what timers on ur bleeds do ur reapply before exsang

scarlet sequoia
#

didnt u ask me about this yesterday @crimson palm

rigid mango
#

Ye I swear I read this yday

crimson palm
#

it was a diff question

scarlet sequoia
#

well same thing

orchid solstice
#

Why do you use exanguinate?

scarlet sequoia
#

if less than 25 sec left on rupture i reapply

#

but thats just me

#

i could be wrong idk

rigid mango
#

Because exsang is good w giga haste builds

#

Or because you're like me and giga bored of tb

#

:^)

crimson palm
#

Yeah but here I'd have to apply, delay exsang, wait out <25s and re-apply again

scarlet sequoia
#

why

#

?

#

6 cp rupture is 28 seconds

#

u have 2 sec left

#

5 sec on exsang

crimson palm
#

Hmm I guess I didn't think of it because I got a 6 cp rupture

#

Ye

#

@orchid solstice It's outsimming tb

orchid solstice
#

How much haste you guys run to make the most out of DS + exsanguinate

crimson palm
#

i'm at 42% unbuffed

#

DS started outsimming vigor at like 31%-ish

orchid solstice
#

Cool! Im pretty low haste right now as it doesn’t aim great for Vigor TB build

crimson palm
#

I still wish I stayed with the old tb build, this seems a bit more complex

#

But difference is 3-4k dps atm 😦

fleet anchor
#

You don't need full duration Rupture to Exsang

#

Technically speaking you can definitely Exsang as long as both have been recently refreshed. I've tested a few various cast logic changes that test both Garrote+Rupture duration instead of just Rupture

#

And as a rough rule of thumb you're generally going to be fine as long as you have >~75% of the max duration of both put together

#

But I'm still working on the exact numbers since it's gear-dependent

crimson palm
#

So let's say <75% it's okay to refresh outside pandemic?

#

That'd be around raz's number 25s

#

(for rupture that is)

fleet anchor
#

Like currently the APL does it after a refresh ( !dot.garrote.refreshable&dot.rupture.remains>4+4*cp_max_spend )

#

As long as Garrote is not in pandemic

#

But, logically-speaking, since this allows for Max Rupture + say.. 35% Garrote duration

#

If you have say 80% Garrote + 80% Rupture it's usually fine too

#

I'm just working on the exact numbers, but that general logic seems to hold as being pretty neutral

crimson palm
#

Alright

fleet anchor
#

I'd say aiming for the Rupture refresh window is fine as a general case though

#

I'm still trying to figure out a good way to express this logic that accounts for SS correctly without being a mess to read

#

But I'd like to get Exsang using Garrote+Rupture duration logic instead of JUST Rupture soon

#

You could test it with your gear to see how it looks, just replace the exsang line with something like this:

actions.cds+=/exsanguinate,if=(dot.garrote.remains+dot.rupture.remains)>(18+4*(cp_max_spend+1))*1.3*0.8
#

For some builds it's more like 0.75 and others 0.85

#

So trying to figure that out before I make a "real" APL change for it

lean marten
#

if you can't perform the build well and don't want to, just play your other one

edgy pawn
#

do the m+ guys in here think there is an "enough" amount of crit in m+?

#

i'm at 42 percent baseline right now

drifting cloud
#

in previous season people would try to get more mastery after 40 I think, but its probably not a big deal

sour glade
#

What major essence do people like running in m+? If I use blood I end up running VoP minor to sync them on bosses or prio targets, but it never feels great. I've tried breath but so far I haven't been great at using it effectively while worrying about my rogue stuff. Been thinking about just running Iris.

tropic ocean
#

it feels actually super good

#

cuz u can 2x bote 1x vanish 2x vendetta on boss

sour glade
#

Maybe on tyrannical or higher keys than I'm doing, but at 16-17 keys bosses only last about 90 seconds anyway. It's more I don't really like using blood on trash packs and just spamming 5x FoK.

tropic ocean
#

not on tyrannical no

#

but it also frees you to use vendetta more frequently on trash

#

to kill hard mobs like honor guard or confessor

#

or in this week its especially good to trim the high hp mobs

#

like commander in sob

#

e.g.

#

or crusher

sour glade
#

Yeah true. I guess I do like having at least 2of my CDs on the same cooldown. Instead of blood FoK spam maybe I'll just start using blood with vendetta on trash as more of a fire mage mob eraser style.

tropic ocean
#

when focusing prio mobu basically build iwth fok

#

and finish with envenom into prio

#

its same play style except

#

instead of fok fok fok fok

#

u do fok env fok env

kind vault
#

is blindside generally a "good" talent? i used it a lot while leveling but i feel like it hasnt been helping with my damage that much recently...

patent topaz
#

its worthless

kind vault
#

ok thx for confirming my suspicions lol, i think ill replace it with master poisoner

sour glade
#

Master poison for PvP. Elaborate for pve

kind vault
#

k then elaborate it is 🙂

#

i barely do pvp

woven bane
#

if you have subterfuge without SS do you use 2x garrot during opener for max uptime or not

quasi pewter
#

you dont

#

@woven bane

vast forum
#

@static glacier he asked without ss

static glacier
#

oh without

#

my bad

#

I can't read

strange python
#

Idk, only been in for one night but on pull seemed kinda awkward for me

#

Shit just dies insta

#

Used on some Basher 38secs into the Fights, then on First Nzoth burn, then on 2nd psychus

#

Well, I would've used on psychus If I didn't die to contempt

#

@quasi pewter are u the saryero who is playing the vop major build? If so when do u opt for it? Do u also use it on progress?

#

Or were u would fit more since u are 12/12

arctic walrus
#

He didn't play it on prog and would only recommend it for long-term farm content

#

It's only really heavily worthwhile if you have azertie from last 2 bosses

strange python
#

Rip me i guess vop majoe sims like 1.5k higher for me but i guess ill go back to bote

#

Ty vel (:

faint harness
#

if you wanna dance with the devil

#

then play vop major

strange python
#

I shouldnt try rng tbh since im unlucky

quasi pewter
#

as vel said i would never recommend it for progress

#

only for single target fights really

strange python
#

Aight tyvm

#

Looking at some logs on mobile: the only melee I ever see on 2nd psychus is DH.

We really struggled with contempt damage on our 1 night there on some Melees including me. Wouldn't it make sense to simply move most ranged there to minimize that? And maybe a DH because they survive with Leech.

Or is leeching poison enough to kinda Deal with it instead of elusiveness? Havent tested it yet

rigid mango
#

Awful to go 2nd as melee

strange python
#

Ye, that makes sense to me

#

Idk, got 3 Melees assigned there

#

I thought maybe healers still need to figure Shit out and then we Stop dying to that Shit

#

Gonna Talk to the RL about it

rigid mango
#

Is your melee giga melee heavy or

strange python
#

Nope

#

We could Switch around

#

Got 3 melee on 2nd psychus, and 3 ranged on First

#

So could just swap that

faint harness
#

i was meant to go 2nd psychus, but realized it wasnt going to work

#

so i ended up not going into any psychus 🙂

#

cus melee heavy,

#

swapped in a DH instead of me

cobalt pelican
#

even dhs have a rough time i think

#

like they usually netherwalk the gate and then have meta leech and it's still rough

drifting cloud
#

hmm didnt hear ours complain atleast

#

but maybe he just fixed it himself

strange python
#

I mean, If you need to have a melee there I guess DH still has it the easiest.
But why meeeeee

#

I just fall over

cobalt pelican
#

dh never really complained about it, just something i noticed when looking through it

fleet anchor
#

I'm on Mind Gate 2 FWIW but yeah the damage does suck

#

You can try Shadowstepping during Arrows probably if there are survivability problems

#

But yeah generally MG2 will be ranged heavy

sour wraith
#

why are a lot of rogues running vop minor on raden mythic? does it help with timers or is it just cuz it sims best for them?

cobalt pelican
#

killtime is like 3.5min for most guilds

#

so vop is kinda nice

hidden bay
cobalt pelican
#

no

#

u

fading walrus
#

so for raiding, after i got vita sim wants me to switch everything to haste

#

i was wondering is there % where its enough haste

rancid bobcat
#

you have infinite stars so it will probably always favor haste

stray folio
#

If using Lustrous Golden Plumage would u hold Vendetta to line up with trinket ?

fading walrus
#

I kinda don’t wana use pulse rank1

#

I’m thinking of swapping the rings enchants to haste

rancid bobcat
#

since its a 2 min cd yes you always line it up

fading walrus
#

And any piece that I use only in raids, socket with haste

#

But my question is let’s say I do try it out

#

I’d be on 36% haste and abt 33 % crit

#

Is there a limit for the haste as a rogue taking in consideration the haste procs from stuff

rancid bobcat
#

not if you have infinite stars

#

plus expedient

fading wigeon
#

How do you sim assassination for m+?

#

I feel like I read Dslice is no good for assasination

lost horizon
#

#

guys, i was running with minflay 3 + 2.
after i put another lvl 1 i am thinking it is proc less.
has something to do or is just thing of my mind?

fathom swift
#

it's just high variance

wicked elk
#

does shadowmeld proc subterfuge?

shy dust
#

No but it procs SS

fading walrus
#

Any1 here’s playing full haste in raids

dim yacht
#

would it be worth using formless void on someone with blood?

#

since it lasts for 15 seconds if you use formless

molten mesa
#

you have access to it for 15 seconds

dim yacht
#

oh

#

so it doesnt actually give the buff for 15 seconds

molten mesa
#

nope

dim yacht

I am currently trying to upgrade my daggers to the carapace HC ones, killing and coining carapace every week, as well as killing mythic wrathion every week. I use my other coin on EP Behemoth as I need the folly for my outlaw spec but i might use the 2nd coin on HC carapace as well given we already killed Hivemind.

#

Regarding essences, I am trying to farm memory of lucid dreams to r2 and then r3.

edgy pawn
#

have you simmed sockets? seems strange socketing haste with +%crit

devout shadow
#

I will do that now, you are probably correct there. I've simmed everything but sockets so far.

#

I just recently downloaded the HeroRotation addon as i wasnt using it before. It pretty much just changed me to use envenoms on 4/5CP (I was being inefficient and only using envenom on 5CP). My opener rn is stealth->garrote->garrote(w/coral)->mutilate->rupture->toxic blade->BotE->Vendetta (w/ blood fury)->dump muti/env on 4/5CP->normal rotation

edgy pawn
#

just now seeing your essences, you really really really need lucid dreams

devout shadow
#

I don't know if there's anything else i'm missing but I feel like i'm simming very low. Some of my logs are bad as i've died in the past wrathion/maut kills due to silly mistakes

edgy pawn
#

bis for all specs and all situations

devout shadow
#

yeah i've been lazy with that as i'm a returning player but that as well as new daggers are my priority rn

edgy pawn
#

do you have it unlocked on an alt?

#

quite easy to get then

#

with the new currency

devout shadow
#

no, this is my main. I need to farm the buddy nazjatar stuff

edgy pawn
#

conflict and strife is also really good

#

and i think on xanesh you can go for 59 corruption

devout shadow
#

what should my essences look like then? i use BotE major, BotD minor, iris minor and visions of perfection minor. I really like visions since it lets me sync up vendetta/bote cds. I would probably switch iris for memory r3 but i dont think r2 conflict and strife is better?

#

I'm also a bit scared to go 59 corruption on xanesh tbh just since we're progressing but once we get more comfortable with the fight i might go ahead.

#

(thanks for all the help you're giving me rn btw)

edgy pawn
#

there really isnt that much damage your taking on xanesh

#

but that's up to you ofc

#

vop minor depends on your killtimer, but it's not that great since it desyncs vendetta and vanish

#

blood major is great, botd as well

#

lucid r3 will always be bis

#

id simm blood major, lucid minor and botd minor

#

and than vop/iris/c&S

devout shadow
#

so vanish and vendetta synced is more important than vendetta and bote?

#

i got 5.5m combinations on raidbot so i can sim quite a few essence combinations

edgy pawn
#

vop really only works well if it nets you another vendetta cast you wouldnt have gotten without it

#

try to figure out how long itll take you to kill her and sim that fight lenght

#

we killed her in 5:10

#

looking at your logs, your making some rotational mistakes

#

should probably have a look at some logs

#

some guides i mean

devout shadow
#

which specific mistakes am i making?

#

try not to look at the xanesh ones as i know im making a bunch of rotational mistakes there since i'm focusing on getting mechanics down

edgy pawn
#

your opener is very wrong

devout shadow
#

as im both part of the interrupt rotation and the 1st football game

edgy pawn
#

!guides

#

!guide

edgy pawn
#

the openers are in the rh guide

devout shadow
#

so the one thing i see i'm doing wrong is using garrote twice

#

and before i was using envenom only on 5cp now on 4

#

what else am i doing wrong?

edgy pawn
#

No Shrouded Suffocation powers for Toxic Blade

Garrote
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Rupture
Vendetta
Mutilate
Toxic Blade
Mutilate if less than 4 combo points
Envenom
Mutilate till 4+ combo points
Envenom
Vanish when Garrote hits 5.4 seconds or less when talented into subterfuge

#

thats how your opener should look like

devout shadow
#

i see i also used toxic blade before that 1st mutilate after vendetta

edgy pawn
#

you go garrote -> mutilate to 4/5 cp -> rupture -> vendetta -> mutilate -> tb -> blood -> env

#

stuff like that is also bad, you need to pump envemons into your tb target

#

at least 2, ideally 3

#

try to setup your dots so that you dont have to refresh them during your tb window

hazy geyser
#

isnt it better to go vendetta blood tb since you dont waste a GCD on abilities that dont benefit from tb and tb crit is pretty nice

edgy pawn
#

you wanna pump envemons while blood/vendetta/tb are active

hazy geyser
#

yeah you would do garrote mutilate rupture mutilate vendetta blood toxic env mutil. ...

#

or mutilate rupture mutilate garrote whatever the opener is then go into vendetta with 2 3 combo points

edgy pawn
#

with tb-blood-env-mut-env-mut-env you get 3 envemons inside the +crit damage window

#

given the muts crit

scarlet sequoia
#

no

edgy pawn
#

no what? 😄

scarlet sequoia
#

no you don’t

arctic walrus
#

you tb blood

edgy pawn
#

aah

#

im stupid

#

sorry

#

meant to say tb - blood - env

#

youre right, sorry

devout shadow
#

sorry i was helpnig a friend with a key

#

ty for the help

#

ahhhh

#

that helps so much

#

i was doing blood first

#

so just garrote, muti, rupture, muti, vendetta, tb, blood, env -> pump muti/env

#

regardless of combo points for 1st rupture?

#

then after burst window refresh rupture with 5cp?

#

and i'm simming about 100dps higher with subterfuge over MA so i guess always use the one i sim higher with? at one point i was simming slightly higher with MA but i'm playing with 240ping now cause i had to go somewhere else in the world so in execution subterfuge is probably better for me even if MA sims slightly higher at soem point?

#

also in this sim visions major sims 500dps higher than blood major and it doesnt even tell me to use blood minor, should i do that in that case or is there a flaw with the sim in this case?

void pecan
#

Something something sims don't do bote right, but it's actually the best major

devout shadow
#

ok i figured as much, was just scared it didnt even list it on minor

scarlet sequoia
#

eeeeeeh bote isnt always the best major. prolly play vision major on a couple of bosses if it sims that much higher @devout shadow but in general vision major isnt great on most bosses

hey all torn between using 3 SS, 3 EB for dungeons ( 1 480, 2 465) or 2 SS, 3 EB, 1 TtK ( 480- SS EB, 480 TtK EB, 465 SS EB) doing keys around 15-19 range. mainly looking for some solid opinions , sims are showing mixed results.

woven bane
#

why does subterfuge sim higher than MA is it worth to pick it then even when playing with boe? i saw some rogues on warcraftlogs running it but im not sure

slow heath
#

MA doesnt get used ideally in sims so it likes to come out low, subter is likely stronger if you have SS but if you dont then MA will pull ahead as long as you use it properly

strange python
#

Wrong

#

Even if u dont have SS it can pull ahead

#

If it sims higher use it

#

Its not even hard to use u just garrote out of stealth then reapply with vanish in vendetta within pandemic range* after that u use it on cd

#

With vanish

drifting cosmos
#

id def go for 3 ss

#

maybe fort/teeming in some dgn go for 3 ss

woven bane
#

but then when do you use BoE if not for the tb vanish env also do you use 2x garrot after vanish for more uptime or not

strange python
#

No

#

U use it once and keep going with ur normal rotation

#

Atleast thats how it is in the apl

woven bane
#

so you also play the normal rota with BoE like you would if MA talented just without the vanish part

strange python
#

Yes

woven bane
#

aight thanks one other thing if you play with the guardian essence when exactly do you use it

strange python
#

Im not familiar with guardian somebody else has to answer dont wanna spread bullshit

woven bane
#

well then can you tell me how can i watch the casted abilities sequence on warcraftlogs so i can look into it myself 😄

strange python
#

U can either copy the warcraftlogs link to wowanalyzer and watch the timeline (not sure how u do it on warcraftlogs)
Or u can press replay top right and watch the whole fight if u vlick on that rogues icon / name

woven bane

thank you

with master assasin for burst, would it be tb blood vanish env?

after first part of muti, rupture garrote and vendetta

rigid mango

Yes

The opener guide in the pins is still correct

drifting cosmos
#

why is poison bomb sim higher than CT in dungou slice? dont really understand that

rigid mango
#

It's boss centric.

drifting cosmos
#

so in sims it assumes 100% uptime when it procs? i mean mobs stand there

rigid mango
#

Yeah

drifting cosmos
#

i see, thanks

rigid mango
#

Most of the time that should happen anywyas

drifting cosmos
#

i mean i tried ct in dgns like kr, still seems better than pb

#

but thats just feelcraft and maybe pad dmg

rigid mango
#

I don't use CT anywhere anymore tbf, but I also barely do keys anymore.

#

I would never use it there though.

drifting cosmos
#

yea it was like "oh shit i forgot to change talent" when we started so i just go along cos not a serious key anyway

rigid mango
#

I would never use it in siege/kr/ws

drifting cosmos
#

and i think these days if you have big TD, any spec can do big aoe dmg

rigid mango

Everything else it's good.

hi everyone im a returning player looking for some pointers

if anyone would be willing to vc and help me out that be swanky

fleet anchor
#

@slow heath

MA doesnt get used ideally in sims so it likes to come out low
I think you're gonna have to expand on that if you think something is wrong there. But I can assure you that MA has been pretty well-tested in the APL for quite some time.
The reason Subterfuge is pulling ahead is that it's just better and we have more crit than we did last tier so MA's relative value is reduced.

#

Anything that gives a static amount of something is likely to be reduced in value over time as our base increases.

#

Subterfuge is also simming better than last tier because of some findings about how to sequence it better in some cases which have led to gains in the usage. I spent about 4 hours on an airplane optimizing the Subterfuge APL last month and it has definitely found some less obvious improvements. 😉

yo can anyone help me?

bis stats on wrists or bis corruption?

#

what values more stats or corruption proc

cobalt pelican
#

huh

#

you'd have to be a little more specific, generally corruption is much more valuable than stats but that depends on if you're already at your corruption cap, what they are etc

lost beacon
#

for example i have this

#

but i also have 440 wrists that give haste crit but a worse corruption proc

cobalt pelican
#

what is the worse corruption proc

lost beacon
#

void ritual

cobalt pelican
#

void ritual is probably better than twisted appendage at 440 itemlevel

How much overall DPS is a good Average for M+ with 460 iLvL ? I did 45k

feral rune
#

im 462 with sin i was getting between 50-75k

#

depending on pullls and all

vast forum
#

ilvl is by far the least impactful metric you can look at when looking at overall dps

#

corruption/key lvl/pullsize/dungeon/azerite/weapons have a generally higher impact

sour glade
#

Overall in keys depends on affix dungeon and pull size way too much to try to aim for a number in all situations. For 460 gear you should prob be able to do around 50k as a floor though.

I'm 468 with no TD and I'm typically about 60k overall this week since we can't pull too big around bolster usually. With a TD3 I'd look for 70-75k

#

Compared to braindead melee like fury/havoc or even really outlaw you have to work pretty hard though for your aoe.

#

To get close to what I do on my fury with WW every 3rd gcd and spam I have to triple garr into CT fan rup and then also utilize vend and TB on a Target

vast forum
#

are you saying fok-rup is big brain aoe play?

crimson palm
#

Lmao wat

#

Garroting 3 targets out of stealth for 90% + of the dmg is really hard

vast forum
#

having a 1-button rotation on big pulls is also hard

fleet whale
#

Most AoE rotations for every class in this game are very easy

royal lantern
#

there are pretty much 3 kinds of aoe in this game

#

passive cleave aoe aka fury/dh

#

dot and cry cus it takes ages too do dmg

#

and spamm 1 button until the pack is small enough too make other buttons worth ussing again

fleet whale
#

there is also the 4th level of aoe, the meme beam

sour glade
#

Okay so to do 200k DPS on an aoe pack I have to g g g CT FoK rup vend tb fan for combos and envenom .

On fury warrior I do that by hitting whirlwind every 3rd gcd and hitting ramp and bt in either order on the others, lmao.

#

It's not complicated, but it's absolutely more work. Not mutually exclusive.

fleet anchor
#

I enjoy the fact that so many people talk about like Outlaw for example "lol just Blade Flurry damage, so EZ in AoE" when Outlaw has to do their entire normal rotation to do AoE damage..
Then BM Hunters or whatever basically just mash Multi-Shot with Barbed Shot on CD for AoE 🤣
Assassination is somewhere in the middle but depends on what setup you have.

royal lantern
#

putting out 4 bleeds and spam FoK is 0 effort mate

sour glade
#

DH does it by hitting only eye beam dance and fel dev, lmao

royal lantern
#

idk why you would even use vendeta or tb if you just wanna do big aoe

fleet anchor
#

Some people will have issue multi-dotting as Assassination just because they have a hard time tabbing around or don't have good mouseovers set up

#

Multi-dot in general is a skill that takes some practice

sour glade
#

Uhh, if all you do is fan and CT/rup you're going to do like maybe 100k to 5 targets

#

Baby dps

fleet anchor
#

But once you get it, it is not too bad

#

Assassination and Outlaw are both above-average complexity for AoE rotations imo though

#

Compared to a lot of specs

#

Not that it is insane or anything, but a lot of specs become 1.5 button specs in AoE

faint harness
#

unholy probably the most complex

fleet anchor
#

And any spec that has to tab around/mouseover has it harder than specs that don't just by default

#

Just because of UI overhead

crimson palm
#

unholy is actually pretty similar to assa

#

at least that's what it feels like

faint harness
#

not really, you have to spread it on all

#

and then unleash it

#

assa is just what

crimson palm
#

well garrote would be festering

faint harness
#

4 dots and spamming fok

crimson palm
#

fok epidemic

#

CT can be death & decay

#

and you spam between epidemic and scourge strike

faint harness
#

i think its way easier to fail the ramp on unholy

#

than sin

crimson palm
#

definetly

#

but it felt quite similar when i was learning it

faint harness
#

move out of dnd = over

#

limited time to pop it all

crimson palm
#

btw I've a question about 3SS vanish garrote re-application, should I wait until 0 to re-apply 2x garrotes on target or vanish during pandemic?

fleet anchor
#

Still nothing compared to this monster of an AoE rotation 😄

feral creek
#

Erm why do u guys cry me a river? Just play what u prefer?

crimson palm
#

because if I wait it out I get 23 + 23 duration on EMP garrote

faint harness
#

BM hunter is ridiculous

#

also survival hunter aoe is very complicated if you play latent poison

#

have to tab target blow up 10 stacked poison stacks

tardy nimbus
#

someone help me out please

fleet anchor
#

But yes, what I would recommend for M+ with Assassination would be:

tardy nimbus
#

is there any way to avoid Grease Gun dmg from the jockey's in ML

fleet anchor
#
  1. Do some practice on the grouped dummies for tabbing around for an extended period so you get a good feel for it
#
  1. Setup Clique/mouseovers for your bleeds and practice using them
#

It will be a lot less overwhelming once you practice it and get a good setup

#

It just takes time to get used to

tardy nimbus
#

Does it hit the closest target? Is it a frontal just stupid mechanic

feral creek
#

Am i wrong or isnt it 4 rupture then spamming fan to get max dmg in heavy packs?

fleet anchor
#

Spamming is only really worth it past 6 targets iirc

#

Depending on your EB trait count too (2x vs 3x makes quite a big difference)

feral creek
#

Ill play 3x eb 3x ss

royal lantern
#

there are multiple things you can do in packs except fok spamming that actually help

feral creek
#

Whats the difference between 2x eb and 3x eb? The amount of targets needed to spam?

royal lantern
#

put your bleeds on actually priority targets instead of random,on this week let your bleeds on low hp enemys drop of and apply on high hp enemys too not bolster by accident etc....

fleet anchor
#

I don't think it's worth spamming with 2x EB until you get to 10+ but I would need to check again

surreal bolt
#

I mean dh aoe is just their st rotation

fleet anchor
#

It was a while since I looked at it

royal lantern
#

there is stuff you can do beyond "me big numbaaars"

fleet anchor
#

You also have to be careful you don't tunnel vision too much

#

And let your DoTs fall off and then run out of energy

royal lantern
#

btw, i would like if they maybe replace hiddenblades with echoing blades in sl

#

but a man can only dream

fleet anchor
#

Pulls can definitely go long enough that is a problem

#

In higher keys

#

Then your DPS will plummet because you don't have enough energy to build CP/apply Ruptures

#

And get stuck in a negative feedback loop

#

You have to be a little proactive about that on longer pulls and make sure you are prepared for when your triple garrote falls off

lost horizon
#

@tardy nimbus grease gun is unavoidable, can't pull a lot with jockeys cause they clap

tardy nimbus

#

just gonna have to get slapped

sterile ocean
#

did i miss something or did that nerf vita?

fleet anchor
#

Haste is gonna have limited value with your setup

#

You are running TA6 that doesn't scale from haste at all

sterile ocean
#

oh i know but i thought everyone needed it

fleet anchor
#

Vita is pretty strong in general as long as you are getting value from it

#

But given your Corruption setup it's not hard to see how Vers could be better in this particular situation

sterile ocean
#

ah true

cobalt pelican
#

did you mean to sim dungeon slice

#

because it just looks like raid gear with a raid question

fleet anchor
#

Also your base Vers is really low

sterile ocean
#

i was simming for raid

fleet anchor
#

Secondary ratings can have funny values if you are really low in the values, due to the ratings curve

#

More crazy to me is the fact that a 445 Dice is basically the same as a 470 Alchemist Stone. RIP Alchemist Stones in BfA 😛

vestal wren
#

its usually only worth to spam fok (and maintain some bleeds for energy regeneration) if you have 3 EB traits

#

crit can def. lower the trashhold there but overall 3x and high target counts is the best way

fleet anchor
#

Then again I would say @sterile ocean

#

If it's only a 0.5% difference

#

Vita does give a notable benefit to your group

vestal wren
#

just keep in mind that spamming fok actually means you reduce your entire damage to aoe

fleet anchor
#

So probably really better tbh

sterile ocean
#

ah ok

fleet anchor
#

282 Haste to 4 people is probably better than 0.5% of your DPS

#

Usually anyway

sterile ocean
#

yeah true

fleet anchor
#

Since that's only like a 400 DPS difference for you

sterile ocean
#

i was confused i thought they changed something

fleet anchor
#

With average scale factors and uptime

Vita group proc is probably worth around 2k DPS

vast forum
#

rest of the traits depend on the dungeon/level/affixes/other dps in your grp/pull patterns etc

#

but 3xSS, BotE major, lucid+breath minor are pretty much locked in

sour glade

@tardy nimbus if you have jockeys not in peacekeepers they need to be locked down or they will randomly 2 shot people. It's an invisible cast just like the earth shock on the guys before azerokk.

raid bots dint tell what enchat i need

strange python
#

Obviously. Just meant to say that the Statement of the other Guy of "BotD starting to Sim better" for more and more rogues is not necessarily wrong. At least from my anecdotal experience of simming random people with it

arctic walrus
#

sin is a spec that needs to buff it's cd windows, not just have a random ability thrown every 45s

#

Any bit of corruption can sway what sims best for you

strange python
#

Every 20 seconds or so depending on Fight tbh.
And yes, I totally agree. Again, I just wanted to say that the varolyn Guy is not necessarily wrong of it outsimming other stuff on some rogues over time.
Obviously all dependant on Gear

woeful wigeon
#

can i go mutliple time for notign personal ?

strange python
#

Don't wanna make an overgeneralized Statement, and I don't think I did

#

Yes you can

#

And to let raidbots Tell you which enchantments to use

#

Go to "top Gear" and scroll down to enchants. Click the ones you want to compare and Check the Box "replace existing enchantments"

fleet whale
#

I don't know what you mean by saying that sin is a spec that needs to buff it's cd windows, if breath is simming higher for a specific player, then with effective and optimal use, he should get better results

Considering how many tiers in the past Subterfuge has been the go-to, it shouldn't really be tooo surprising that it is still solid.

you can usually remove void ritual but if you have nothing else to use after your cloak ranks up then just keep them

was swapping other weapons with other corurptions on it around so :I

scarlet sequoia

but ye as tryan said, literally just sim:)

hollow bridge
#

at high ilvl are stat corruptions better than proc corruptions? ie expedient better than TD or something?

royal lantern
#

better then what?

#

expedient is pretty bad for m+, td is bad for raiding

hollow bridge
#

sorry Tryan, i mean for ST fights or mostly for Ny'alotha raid. Haste for a while appears to be the best secondary for pure single target, we usually run DD x2 1 np and 3 darkness. I am just wondering as some classes/specs like destro want to stack tier 3 Expedient everywhere if they can, or Arms want expedient on all slots, does that happen eventually at high ilvl for Sin rogue?

pseudo hamlet
#

I think it all depends on your gear and content you're trying to do. There's no "stat corruptions > proc corruptions" or anything like that.

For example - while simming(ST) my gear - dagger with tentacle is much higher than the one that gives me versatility.

frosty obsidian

how do you sinners sin for m+

#

40 sec 6 target patchwerk with no bl

fleet anchor
#

DungeonSlice is good if you want to see roughly what you will do in the real world mix of pulls. 6T 40s is only going to show you what your AoE on big pulls is and ignore everything else. Depends on if you really want to locally optimize just for big pulls and be terrible at everything else.

#

Most dungeons have much more smaller pulls (or initially large pulls that turn into small pulls halfway) than people estimate.

strange python
#

that "real world mix of pulls" will suggest st everything

#

last i checked anyway

fleet anchor
#

I don’t believe that is accurate

#

But if you really do want to focus just on AoE I would really suggest longer sim durations than 40s.

#

It may initially seem reasonable as a concept to be looking at “pull lengths” but the huge disadvantage to doing smaller lengths is it gives no real idea of cooldown interactions.

#

What you are essentially doing is running 40s pulls many times end-to-end (say 10k iterations) so you may as well run a 5 minute sim conceptually either way. You will get a better mix of actual cooldown and RPPM dynamics.

#

Very short duration sims tend to skew heavily.

#

The issue you are probably trying to avoid is the valuation of SS which is what DS was made to combat because it allows restealths between the sub-encounters.

crimson palm
#

Since exsanguinate doesn't overlap with the 2nd vendetta, what's the play if we cannot delay the vendetta cast? Delay the exsanguinate and lose out on one cast but get the good vendettas or potentially lose a vendetta?

#

I.e on raden with a kill time around 4:20

fleet anchor
#

I think when I tested this last it was fine to just fire off the Exsang. But I would need to double check. What major?

crimson palm
#

CLF or bote

#

Diff is 500 dps

#

Probably bote since there are adds to cleave

cobalt pelican
#

there's some things that i notice consistently in dslice that i don't really understand for this spec (and the forced waits in general)

fleet anchor
#

I only ask because I think BotE is up at that point anyway so you sync with Exsang. CLF won’t matter since second is desynced anyway too.

cobalt pelican
#

like hmm, the first garrote is always on fluffy pillow before the boss has 'spawned in', and then the boss only gets 1 garrote, unless the initial is transfered from the other target

scarlet sequoia
#

u know clf cleaves too right

#

definitely cleaves more than doing 80k hit with blood once

cobalt pelican
#

on most iterations i look at, for some reason there's no wait between boss and pack1 which forces vanish to be used for the initial garrotes, and generally it only gets 2 garrotes out of the vanish even (energy reasons? i geuss)

crimson palm
#

I was thinking of vanish into 3x garrote bote at 2 min mark

#

Since that's when new orbs and adds spawn

cobalt pelican
#

same holds for the other packs but doesn't seem to hold as a consistent rule, so i just guess the 'forced wait' is low enough on the low end to prevent?

fleet anchor
#

Nameless, the first spell of the sim going on the immunes target is kinda a know bug/timing issue but I don’t think it would affect the final results too much. Could always put like a wait 100 if time=0 or something perhaps.

cobalt pelican
#

mm yea it's very l ikely insigificant

fleet anchor
#

Has to do with the retarget event happening on the same timestamp

#

Might be solvable. I haven’t looked at the retarget code itself.

cobalt pelican
#

yeah that's not a big deal tbh, it was just the first thing i noticed

#

i don't kn ow what happens with the restealth

#

both of the first 2 packs have no restealth, right?

fleet anchor
#

The waiting time I think is determined just by the variance of the wave length.

cobalt pelican
#

oh so the packs can

#

overlap if they're both long rolls?

#

seems pretty unfortunate for assassination, like there's 5? restealths in this iteration for 11-12 packs

#

i can't count rn even i just woke up

fleet anchor
#

I think it’s possible for the first ones. Less likely for the later ones.

faint harness
#

You only get to restealth on 50% of the packs, wdym Kappa

cobalt pelican
#

average 6.7 per, so kinda consistent too

#

i'm pretty fine with not expecting a restealth every pull tbh i think that would somewhat capture reality but the current amount is way lower than fair, i just don't know what causes it even

faint harness
#

i usually tell the tank if its a pug that i play sin, and they usually dont chainpull

fleet anchor
#

Considering the boss segment time is that really low?

#

It doesn’t seem low

vestal wren
#

to give my 2c about the 40sec 6t sims, the majority of sims i saw did not dissable bloodlust or any raid buff. So they dont only have the targets up all the time they also have 40 secs long bloodlust and all other raid buffs/runes/pots

fleet anchor
#

Compared to the fight style length minus the boss time.

#

I could definitely see an argument for trying to make sure there is a restealth after the boss though and that could be easy to adjust.

faint harness
#

I think you want a restealth everytime

fleet anchor
#

But isn’t the fight length only 6 minutes?

faint harness
#

Otherwise wouldnt play sin

fleet anchor
#

The boss is like 2 minutes.

#

Do you really restealth on average more than 6.7 times every 2 minutes? Seems unlikely.

cobalt pelican
#

no, but the pulls in reality are always longer for me

faint harness
#

not really

vestal wren
#

restealth depends on the deviation of the mobs duration

#

it should have a restealth often

faint harness
#

nxt level sim would be to adjust it for key levels

fleet anchor
#

Either way you are getting quite a few Subterfuge windows in a 6 minute period. I think it’s still a pretty fair reflection.

faint harness
#

but does it use vanish to apply garrotes

#

on packs

vestal wren
#

you can use my fight sim and add the raid buffs you want if you want a secure restealth

fleet anchor
#

The thing here that I think we’ve talked about before is that you don’t really have to overfit sims.

cobalt pelican
#

yeah, currently it's vanishing to get the garrotes off when it doesn't get a stealth

fleet anchor
#

You’ll find after testing this type of thing that due to variance and iterations you are “hitting the same notes” anyway.

cobalt pelican
#

yeah for sure, but you're pretty much guaranteed a restealth between packs (regardless of pack length) on all but the highest level of key, at least from my experience

#

and when it's 50% of your damage in a dungeon

#

it makes even stat choice weird if everything is reshuffled around

fleet anchor
#

And the weighting of things rarely actually changes when you make specific sim types.

cobalt pelican
#

maybe

faint harness
#

so if theres 6 medium-health mobs, is it possible to get 6 garrotes out

#

6 buffed ones

fleet anchor
#

Outside of edge cases for specific mechanics

cobalt pelican
#

to give a basic reflection of my own (very imperfect play), compared to sim averages

#

dslice has garrote at 24.3% of my damage

#

let me find something from last night

#

(i know there are massive differences between sim and world but)

faint harness
#

I think im around 30% garrote dmg

#

at most

#

FoK/Echoing blade is together doing like 20% dmg

fleet anchor
#

The percentage there will probably not match up because of the large boss section. Essentially what it is doing is slightly weighting the “boss” a little higher than normal. (Not a massive amount but a little.)

cobalt pelican
#

mm makes sense

fleet anchor
#

But yeah I don’t really have an objection to trying to see if we can get a restealth in that first post-boss pack. Should just be a matter of delaying the first time on the event by 1 second. I’ll look into it.

faint harness
#

in real play it definitely does, you should 100% restealths, even if it means lingering behind the tank for a few seconds so you dont get combat

fleet anchor
#

Sure but for example you do have hybrid pulls that take time to gather

#

Say Freehold down by the 2nd boss.

#

You don’t always get to stealth naturally between mixed size groups.

faint harness
#

you should be able to get 3 garrotes out tho

#

and then vanish the rest

My RL told me to stay on raden at all times (ill rupture and garrote the add) and vop major sims like 900 dps more than normal sims should i go for vop?

faint harness
#

i dunno, very rarely is there any issue with restealthing imo

#

its only an issue in dungeons that put you in combat from aoe shit

cobalt pelican
#

blood lines up pretty nicely on that fight to hit the ads but

#

if you're not even putting bleeds on them due to leaders orders, vop should be fine

faint harness
#

subt on raden is pretty good

#

always getting 3 value from it

fleet anchor
#

Lucky assignment. 😄

faint harness
#

I mean sin rogue is terrible at swapping targets

#

you can easily argue for your case on raden

#

running across the map to hit orbs that you might deal 300k dmg to

#

or just tunnel boss

fleet anchor
#

Sure but we often still get asked anyway. 😦

faint harness
#

clear win

fleet anchor
#

Or have to soak everything

faint harness
#

yea im doing a bunch of mechanics on ra-den

#

but otherwise just glued to the boss

#

but then again, we ran 4 warlocks on prog, they blow up the first orb alone

cobalt pelican
#

i personal love the trek to the vita orb

#

from raden

#

just to put a rupture up

fleet anchor
#

Breath is not bad either because you can usually use it 4 times per add wave and then put a buffed one into the boss.

cobalt pelican
#

and then autoattack it

fleet anchor
#

Just don’t use breath on the orbs ever

faint harness
#

breath seems good ye

fleet anchor
#

Orbs will always give 45s

#

It’s buggy

faint harness
#

same with shards on wrathion i guess

#

sometimes they gave 45s

#

and sometimes not

#

very annoying

fleet anchor
#

Well tested mechanics 😄

faint harness
#

@cobalt pelican yea i did orbs on the first like 5 pulls on ra-den, told RL that im basically just running around

#

Felt pointless, and we didnt have to

#

lucks

wet ruin
#

what do you mean

#

I am usually top dps on the orbs

#

besides the first one

#

that only range kills

cobalt pelican
#

that's unfortunate for your raid

wet ruin
#

I don't see the problem in switching

royal lantern
#

if it works its ofc no problem

faint harness
#

do you nuke ra-den

#

or are you doing slow strat

royal lantern
#

but that more or less just means your other dps dont care about the orbs at all

wet ruin
#

we lust at pull

fleet anchor
#

Hunters and Warlocks should usually be pretty high on them

faint harness
#

cus if you nuke ra-den, you really dont want rogues running around hitting orbs that ranged dps (warlocks) could do while also doing dmg to boss

strange python
#

aight ill be running vop then tyvm

fleet anchor
#

DH also swaps pretty easy

wet ruin
#

hmmm

#

Im gonna be talking to some people 😄

faint harness
#

in general, having to run around as a melee is a waste of time

#

when ranged dps can do it

strange python
#

i still dont get why its simming so much higher but well

fleet anchor
#

Like our BM Hunter/Demon Hunter carried a lot of it

wet ruin
#

its like most of our melee is top on the vita orb

fleet anchor
#

Warlock are good on certain timings. Elemental also good.

wet ruin
#

I guess it depends on what order you do it with

#

which I am pretty sure is not the most commonly used for us

fleet anchor
#

Outlaw also has no real swap problems

#

But Assassination is pretty non optimal

wet ruin
#

I usually step to the vita and then dps it down as it goes to the boss

fleet anchor
#

Like if you need to swap you need to swap. But other people should be beating you. 😄

cobalt pelican
#

are you doing vita 3rd or 2nd

wet ruin
#

2nd

cobalt pelican
#

yea fk that

#

unless you tank raden somewhere different

#

it's like 5000 miles away

wet ruin
#

we start at nightmare

#

and kill void

#

then vita

#

I am pretty sure its not the optimal way to do it nowadays

#

they were saying something about switching it up for next week, so we can skip the third orb, we'll see

faint harness
#

We do 2 orbs quite easily, it should be doable for most guilds with tanks kiting

wet ruin
#

yea, we were almost doing it with the 'wrong' order

#

so it should be fine

fleet anchor
#

Will have a better chance at meeting that timer if you aren’t pulling your Rogues off for the second one. 😄

faint harness
#

Ye

fleet anchor
#

Definitely better if you can sit on the boss for sure.

wet ruin
#

yea, probably

#

its all of our melee that switches 😄

#

but I don't think we can do it without melee switching

faint harness
#

Lazy ranged

wet ruin
#

I think its more of a heavy melee composition and a bad strategy

#

with the positioning we do we need players to soak stuff at the other side of the room

fleet anchor
#

We are very melee heavy and still just have DHs do it

wet ruin
#

what order do you do it koji

faint harness
#

We do void + corruption at least

strange python
#

how much do the regular rogues sim? ive seen raz 95k but i feel worthless with my 85k vop major shit

faint harness
#

No wait

#

Void + vita

fleet anchor
#

I mean the order doesn’t matter all that much. It’s more just that like Hunters can swap with no problem and no ramp time.

#

DHs have no ramp and good mobility

#

Elemental can swap easy

wet ruin
#

how do you move the boss rather

fleet anchor
#

Etc.

faint harness
#

@strange python i sim 93k ish

strange python
#

can u link me ur sim? i want to see ur gear /setup etc

faint harness
#

Non-IS

fleet anchor
#

My corruptions hate me so I’m only in the 88k range.

faint harness
#

I run severe and TAs

#

1 455 gw

#

24% crit, t4 is and gw

#

T4 ta**

fleet anchor
#

Imagine getting Severe or Expedient items. I only have one of each. Haha.

strange python
fleet anchor
#

I also have no TA items other than daggers that I finally got this week. Which refused to drop until the 8th coin or something.

#

Truly corruption hates me.

faint harness
#

I am just getting TAs

fleet anchor
#

Honestly your gear is fine. 86k is simming more than like 95% of Rogues probably. 😛

#

Especially non-IS

faint harness
#

I can run t8 TA with all at 470

#

At least 470

#

485, 485, 475, 470 TA

#

I checked log dmg

#

110k crits

fleet anchor
#

Obviously the main weak link there Lonewolf is the Void Ritual

#

Which isn’t bad but obviously something like GW/Expedient/etc. would be stronger.

faint harness
#

Also 48 corruption is kinda meh

#

You cant add 10 more?

#

Thing from beyond dmg is HP based

#

It wont change unless above 80 corruption

wet ruin
#

its the slow

fleet anchor
#

Yeah I mean I’d either shoot for 39 or 59. Not much reason to do in between.

faint harness
#

Same

#

48 feels pointless, you get all the bad but lack 10 corruption

strange python
#

i think i dont have anything else but let me look again

fleet anchor
#

Slow is gonna screw you over either way. 😄

faint harness
#

Yea

wet ruin
#

I sim +100 with 58 rather than 48

fleet anchor
#

Make a big WA lol

wet ruin
#

so I prefer not to go to 58

faint harness
#

100 dps is better than 0 either way

fleet anchor
#

Yeah sure if it’s that close. But then I’d probably just drop to 39.

#

I prefer 39 during prog for Assassination anyway tbh

wet ruin
#

yea, but the corruption might fuck me

faint harness
#

I have musclebrah chasing me when it procs

strange python
#

i was playing with 74 and i wasnt dying to my corruption but other dps in my guild were telling me i take too much dmg from it and my dmg is made by my corruptions so i went down to prove them wrong

wet ruin
#

its not the thing

faint harness
#

74 is a bit much

wet ruin
#

the damage is irrelevant at this point

#

its the slow that fucks you

faint harness
#

Yea but ur a rogue, step/cloak/cloak

fleet anchor
#

Assassination is pretty meh at dealing with tfb.

faint harness
#

We have ways of dealing with it

wet ruin
#

not always works

faint harness
#

The only fight where it can actually kill you is like shadhar

#

P1 shadhar

#

The rest you can adapt to

wet ruin
#

I find it annoying on n'zoth

fleet anchor
#

Sure but during prog it wasn’t really worth it for me.

wet ruin
#

especially when I need to drop anguish and I am slowed

faint harness
#

Why on nzoth

fleet anchor
#

Going above 39 was only like 1-2% damage

faint harness
#

Step with anguish

wet ruin
#

I am stepping paranoia usually

faint harness
#

Yea it depends on dmg i guess

#

Paranoia is like not a mechanic in p2

wet ruin
#

eh?

faint harness
#

The sanity you lose is so minimal

#

Doesnt matter

wet ruin
#

I know

#

but it helps

faint harness
#

And you are mostly stacked anyway

wet ruin
#

especially the first paranoia after the second anguish

faint harness
#

Its much more important to place anguish in a good spot

#

Than getting to ur paranoia in 1 second

wet ruin
#

yea, but the 2 don't overlap, so they are separate mechanics

faint harness
#

I dunno, ppl focus too much on paranoia, its exactly as the name of the mechanic

wet ruin
#

it certainly helps other people

fleet anchor
#

Lonewolf what are you putting in as your Surging Vitality uptime?

#

I see you have some good items with that trait. Surprised it’s not using them.

faint harness
#

Surging should have 50% uptime on most later fights

fleet anchor
#

They fixed most of the proc problems with it. Should be 50-55% pretty easily now.

wet ruin
#

he is simming at 0

strange python
#

yes its 0% rn

#

didnt know what to put in there tbh

faint harness
#

50%

wet ruin
#

when did they fix it, last time I checked its around 25-30% uptime

faint harness
#

Its hardcapped due to icd

#

To around 50%

fleet anchor
#

It’s just rppm. I didn’t see an icd.

faint harness
#

Ah

#

Then its rppm

fleet anchor
#

It can refresh. It’s 2 RPPM I think.

faint harness
#

True

strange python
#

so should i put 50% in there?

faint harness
#

It should be good on raden

fleet anchor
#

I was running on N’zoth last week had like 50%+

faint harness
#

Ruin is constant dmg in last phase

wet ruin
#

I can only see it work on n'zoth or ilgynoth

faint harness
#

Drestagath is constant dmg taken

#

Shadhar

wet ruin
#

other fights are 25-30%

fleet anchor
#

But afaik they made it proc from way more things

faint harness
#

Wrathion

#

Maut

#

Tbh most fights should have good uptime

fleet anchor
#

Originally it was broken on Xanesh and such for example. Think it’s fixed now afaik

faint harness
#

Xanesh also have constantly ticking dmg

#

Yea i dunno

wet ruin
#

let me find some logs

fleet anchor
#

Originally it didn’t proc from her AoE

strange python
#

ill try to sim again with it at 50%

fleet anchor
#

Vitality definitely getting more play recently though.

#

Also good for solo

faint harness
#

The 800 version is really good

#

Like 10% dmg done when it procs

#

For 20 seconds

faint harness
#

Wrathion only gains its passive aoe dmg after first pillar phase

#

So it makes sense

faint harness
#

I mean is he playing around it

wet ruin
#

another longer maut

faint harness
#

Aka

#

Stepping into shit

#

To proc it

wet ruin
#

I don't know

#

its just some random logs

faint harness
#

Sure you can link random logs, but it doesnt say much imo

wet ruin
#

and apart from like n'zoth

#

everything else is like 25-30%

fleet anchor
#

RPPM gonna RPPM
