You would still suggest expedient if I'm not running sang?
2x this week
3 np is insane with vop major but pesonally id ony run that on wrathion and xanesh but that just my pref
that and tendies is a gamble build
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
i didnt mean with vop major
i meant 3x NP with bote major
is pretty fat for nzoth cuz dmg windows are pretty small
Any boss other than N'zoth I'm not worried about. Just focusing on prog
yeah for prog id play 3x np bote
i dont think anyone is missing dps checks on the adds on n'zoth right now
or id be surprised if they were
and you can't carry that as sin anyway
eh who knows guilds still progressing it probably dont have the best dps
With appendage I am doing 18-20m for pushing down psychus. We are currently in the process of getting people used to phase 2
Yeah on prog adds were melting to be honest, we just had a steep learning curve for paranoia/anguishes as well, people are derps
psychus is generally only ever an issue if synapse dam is low
dam wise i mean
at least from my experience
Yeah just need hunters to melt em down
i pretty much do nothing but target synapse lol on my hunter
With the subterfuge opener. Do you no longer let the full garrote tick before vanish garrote application? Based on RH it looks like you use it pretty quickly, but maybe I am estimating gcds poorly.
Yeah I didn't go down, just basher/boss king
u pandemic it Nephty
@sullen pagoda so you say def go for 3 NP and stack exp?
i had 31mil psychus dmg last week and fking warlock forgets to go down 
So just under 5 seconds roughly..gotcha.
@eternal bluff well id go a bit more on crit/mastery with that build just for prog but i wouldnt spend echos on anything other than expedient
@sullen pagoda hi do u think is a good choice to start play exsang build without 7 or 9 expedient stack?
Hm, ok
Chaps, I've got a stat prio question; I'm struggling to know which bits of gear to put the Expedient r3 I just bought on to, as my stat weights are a bit all over the place. I've got vers 9.07, mastery 8.35, then crit and haste at 7.2. Realistically I've got enough gear to put crit/haste in every slot but it's simming as a significant downgrade to do that (as expected, got to keep stat weights balanced).
Should I just find a piece with vers/mastery on it and stick it on that? It's hard to sim what are my 'best' pieces because corruptions are throwing things all over the place and causing some bits to be weighted differently.
https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/stormscale/subeta
You can select the expd3 in the corruption tab below and sim it with all the pieces you have
And forget about statweights,
is the only answer
yeah
stat weights are worthless information tbh
its marginally useful if you know what you're doing
but uh, 99% of people, I suggest forgetting they exist tbh
I'm still quite sceptical about Exp, is it like overall good or good only for some kind of build ? I'm going SS/Sub Exsang build and and hunting versa/haste
SS/sub exsang build is haste
that's the build that becomes good with haste
its good for TB as well
and what's the second stat I'm going for ?
Honestly stat weights for rogue only matter for gems and enchants
More like... how many versa/mastery should I have when focusing Haste/Crit
Just equip ur highest ilvl shit most of the time
Nah
Yes it is
465 perfect stats vs 475 not perfect almost always sims the 475 better
telling people to equip highest ilvl
is mega bait
and you shouldn't do that
you're actively spreading misinformation
Go sim something 10 ilvls higher
and that exact situation usually goes the other way
Show me it sims less
sometimes just basically 460 ilvl can be way much better than 475
because agility is an awful stat this late in the expac
eh agility is quite good with ss exsang build
I have gone SS haste build for raiding but when I do mythics would toxic blade or exsang be better?
I was thinking exsang holds good single target but also benefits aoe
Unlike toxic blade
Like for SoB last week i played outlaw and swapped exsang for last boss
And beat firemage burst
This week I suppose exsang should be better because boss have more health longer dots
?
Ye
Sweet
I haven't got wep or gear setup for outlaw
Might work on it tho can I use my exp r3 in outlaw?
i always run exsang
Yeah its all pref
Oh yeah fuck going for them corruption aswell just for a spec that will be used aoe
the only situation where tb is better is if you have a big pack with 1 important mob and you wanna pump envenoms into it
Enough grinding now for assa build
I swear I picked the most annoying gear switching class
Yeah just be firemage
bm hunt ๐
Stack 1 gear set and be good at all
Atleast bm TRIES to use diff corruption
For ST/AoE
They dont really have to tho
nah, severe all the way
And arms warrior Sims are stupid atm with easy setups
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/84k1S2fc1cVLEAGQHXy7Gd
Fine I guess, 475 and 465 with good stats can be comparable, but I still wouldn't say "equip highest ilvl 4head"
Im not even gonna look at that sim
could've put on another exped I guess
Its at 70k
Should exsang be used when bleeds are up full
lmao I'll pick a better char then
And everyone it comes off CD?
jesus christ man
I sim 70k now with 463 item level
(it's not)
it's really not
you could say
It really is tho
"sim yourself, I've found that ilvl is usually pretty good"
but blanket statement ilvl is better
is troll
Nitpicking a stupid example and showing a 9 dps difference is also pretty dumb lol
Ngl
Hivemind sim.. Hectic add cleave, 2 bosses?
3t patchwerk probably
Might make more sense.. It's telling me TD3 > Slapper.
Whoops, sorry!
it's almost as if everyone in the game doesn't have every piece of gear with ever ycorruption on it with a socket
stop being a brainlet
^^^^^^^
We will all have expedient on every piece now
Yesterday I played with NP instead of HoD trait and I had insanely shitty dps, I suppose NP is only worth to pick when going with Vision of Perfection am I right ?
Its all k now
Prob not the 485 tho
I imagine those will be gushing
Atleast for me sims higher dps/corruption after nerf
Man they really fucked with people's head on this expansion
Haha
And I guess whole new set for PvP right?
With ver% corruption
any1 else here 4k haste club
wasss alrdy supposed to
Hey guys, I know your probably get that asked all the time - I just got Ashvanes Coral and can't seem to find on how many stacks I trigger it again - or if i just trigger it on CD
!coral
The way to use coral in M+ is using it on your priority target,
and then whenever that target dies, reapply it to your next target.
Whenever your target dies it gives you the crit it would give from using it,
so consuming the stacks for crit mid pack is generally suboptimal.
in raids with vendetta iirc
yes
iirc ?
if i remember correctly
It's always about 12-15 stacks when you're going without Vision of perfection, basically when you're about to burst
Sadly I don't get to practice it before my raid so - wish me luck
just go training dummy
EZ
get it in the fingers
it also tells u when u should apply
cant go to a dummy, I'm in the raid as we speak :c
Guys, im stacking expedient, but am I gonna do with my 485 daggers of Cara? wait for Gushing or keep the mind flay
I wonder how gushing will turn out after the nerf
why not, cleanse and apply gushing when u can buy it?
they fixed kit
^
-k
ye?? surew?
season 4 items
Would anyone mind looking over something for me? I think I'm doing something wrong, but I'm really not sure.
u can do it
that includes raid items
you can corrupt crafted items now as well
u cant corrupt clenased items before this release
they are trying to fix it
nice, im waitingf for void focus to get some jewelcrafting rings
but still im not sure what to do with the daggers
im thinking about expedients on my gear and gushing on the daggers
the mindflays are very strong too
gushing nerfed
idk if gushing still outweighs??
nerf soon
but I think its a waste to put exp 3 on weps since u can overpower it with the ilvl
like gushing, and mby a 485 item equals to 475 pre nerf
but dno
maybe just do it on a ring?
i mean if you have, the mechagon rings are pretty good for exp3 right now
I have mechagon rings both exp r3
wrists r3
boots r3
hands and belt r3
so 6 x r3
but I am not sure what to do with my weps
i still need loop of division:(
but isnt a leviathans eye of ilvl 470
better than the mechagon trinks?
also since u always have to be behind the boss
or backside atleast
n
I can send u dm later
65%
that why the mechagon rings scale well
im going to get severe first to get my mythic + build sick
then with that free high key farm
il save for next expedient moment
If im going x3 SS for exsang build should I just stack haste or actually follow the stat weight from simbot? Currently 40% haste and it is my least prioritized stat atm
check pin
I do wonder what causes that though. Usually stat weights are somewhat accurate
how about the 232387623 stat procs and amps we got atm
and different stuff scaling with different stats
I mean sims take that into account
and people with like exped2 wondering why exped20 is good
when haste is like
double the value in exped20
is any test on boss of this new build vs the old build?
Because i'm looking to the logs, and seems that the old build keeps rocking
cause you get more haste per haste
so people look at stat weights with very little exped
and they go "huh haste bad"
yeaah since EVERYTHINg
gets buffed
if u have
3 overwhelming power
my fkn goood boi
and vita
im running 24 haste only since i dont have expeds
@ruby oar literally 
and haste crit is better for me atm
it says so in point #3
i already looked to the pins
if they let us buy lash of the void its gonna be BiS right?..
And i know what you're talking about
they wont let us buy
okay then whats the question
that
i'm just trying to understand how much this new build would impact the damage of our rogues
what if i told you there's a point where playing deeper feels like playing vigor
a LOT lol
just with more oomph
yea i getting your point @strange python
is almost playing always with lust ๐
they're both pretty equal tbh, they both have their upsides and downsides
new build will pull ahead by a bit
i buyed 2x exp
deeper/tb lets you go vop for timers much easier, and kinda benefits on longer fights
at some point you even stop using lucid lol
deeper/exsang is much more frontloaded, tends to be better on <=3min sims even at lower gear levels, and lets you cleave well
idk ideally
i'd have gear for both
Atm my build is 2x RacingPulse3 and 2xExpr3
needs more exped3
Isn't the gear the same
you dont reforge daily?
is the new build better for nzoth mythic?
Everything else needs different pieces though
Oh I need a 2nd raden helmet I guess
second goraks would be cool
But I have a suitable replacement
Outlaw uses nzoth shoulders, and ilgy for exsang, gorak for tb
Well gorak actually sims higher for me
In both
But idk if I'll even switch much
Gorak tulโs owns
still don't own
: }
luckily it doesn't outsim anything in any of my gear atm so whatever
short sims clockwork heart is gamer gear, and longer sims i play nzoth shoulders ๐
is sin easier than outlaw on 5 mask runs? or are they about the same
probably yes
get kind of irrelevant with enough gear but in the beginning sin is way easier to just blast the bosses
alright thanks ! just got decent gear not mythic lvl so just wondering which spec easier to clear 5 mask, have yet to clear
how big of a deal is SS for the exped build? all ive got are double doses
exped good for both builds
exsang requires SS, but becomes viable even without at higher gear levels
where can I find this new build?
logs probably
why do people keep calling it new build? its been around for months
its just DS/exsang
but you stack hella haste
yeah its not really "new"
but people say "new" because its the hot thing on the streets
how much haste is "hella" for this?
@patent topaz not new but for many ppl just figuring it out
got more popular over last few weeks
im at about 2.2k/34%
hoping to pick up one more exped, and then also replace my strikethrough boots with exped boots
wait, we want expedient?
anyone know how long the vendor will last before cycling?
oh waitim 46% even
those of us who returned to the game a few weeks ago are stuck with low corruption resistance ๐ฆ
@bronze wagon :)
but also not sure how much exped ic an buy before the vendor resets
probably 1
comes down to how much time u can spend and grind
maybe 2 if you hard grind
is it tuesday reset? i thought they said in the announcement it would be twice a week
saturday
yeah
do all assaults, use up all ur vessels
resets with the minor assault
dont think so
u get 5k from opening weekly chests
your time limits you
like even if you done all stuff just from grinding keys/arena u can get 2 expedient until saturday
well, yeah, I'm not counting weekly cache here
I think for most people, grinding 1 extra purchase is the typical
2 is hard grind
How many expedients should we be buying 2? 3?
3 is mega uber
as much as possible
^
I got expedient 3 socket 470 gloves from vision. But im already wearing 465 socket expedient 3 gloves
xd
you can full clear hc as well for echoes
if you didnt do it
+use up all your vessels
is expedient still the corruption to shoot for if you are running TB
yes
F my rogue is my alt so 2 toons hard grind and full time work sucks
lol uh no
or depending on what country you are from
or live in america
and get laid off
:)
farm that exped
more haste more good
โข๏ธ
I do love in the us Guess Iโm Fโd.
Could just blow through vessels until my eyes bleed
I have 218k vision things
Just doing dailies lol
Anyone happen to have tried playing around with stuff other than haste stacking? (e.g. Mastery stack with 3x NP) Have been super busy at work this week so not much time to sim things. Also no time to grind out more than 2 Exp3's ๐ฆ
will net u 2 exp
mastery stacking with 3x np doesn't seem good
crit stacking doesn't seem good
vers stacking is omegalul
Itโs 21 vessels
there's an argument to be made for GW stacking, but with the nerf next week, exped is just gonna be better
yeah but a mixture is what I mean
sure
I think gushing on 485 might still be viable over exped if you already have a bajillion haste
but idk
we'll have to see how it shakes out
i have been doing nothing but vessels and dailies that give echos
since the vendor came out

holy shit saturday reset
im only at 600 echoes atm =\
(i bought one earlier this week)
isnt reset tomorrow
I have two so far, more M+ farming tonight after raid and then run Heroic tomorrow for bosses. Hopefully can get another 1 at least
Jesus christ
you had a head start doesn't count
but you had some exp 3s already
exactly
ive farmed 6 now since yesterday
really thought that would be more than 60% haste tho
i have 0 haste gems
i should be coming out of the reset with 6
but definitely didnt play as much as i could
did you just spam arena
pvp 
wow pvp and fun
100 echos per win?
@scarlet sequoia what corruption do you use ?
chose 1
line it up with another vendetta depending on fight length
@scarlet sequoia how many games did you tank before starting?
nice, just tanked 15. about to start my pilgrimage
gl with it
ty
@cobalt pelican Thanks again for the help yesterday. Decided to play with DS, and Exsang after all and it's feeling pretty potent and engaging. Cheers.
Wait you farmed only trough pvp ?
something tells me that this guy is a glitch in a system
its raz
I want 30k per 2 days of echoes too
raz is special
wait so with DS and Exsang are you forcing 6pt ruptures before exsang?
and if memory serves - you refresh garrote before exsang and let the exsang full expire on both before reapplying, that still true?
what's the current meta for M+ azerite?
also. What is the overall best way to farm echoes if I'm out of visions and my arena score is only 1610 ?
pvp looks like the best
ty
@verbal sparrow spam arena/m+
Dear experts, what can you say about racing pulse? I have two 2 T3 (1275 haste each). Can it be the reason why expend build sim bad for me?
@sly fern its good, but there are a lot of other things that can lead to the expedient to not be your bis. It may be more consistent though. esp if you dont get a ton of tendy or stars
does that screenshot say 61% haste?
can someone link me or tell me how to use SS with exsanguinate? i have always used toxic blade
it's in the guide
the ravenholdt one?
yes
all the different openers for all the talent/azerite choices are in there
@scarlet sequoia can you please share the talents? Is it elaborate with exanguainate?
and is it subterfuge?
So would I need 3 SS for exsang build? I have 42% haste atm and one expedient and racing pulse i should be able to get another expedient before the change
talents? Ep subterfuge Exang
Sim it?
@scarlet sequoia grats on 105k
But generally exsang can also be worth without 3 SS ye.
But really, just sim it
Ok thanks
and, anything within the first 1% is going to be about the same.
Ok
yo is the hivemind ring bis for the exsang build? or do i want to find a high haste low crit one
?
for ref
tryna work out if i should just drop an expedient on it now or just hold on to it
mechagon set
ah ok, hold out for the (haste on 3 diff abilities combo?)
behind
Which corruption is the best one to start buying from the corruption vendor?
expedient 3 is strong and currently on vendor
Does elaborate planning effect garrote damage?
Expedient stacking and exsang build?
also is 2s the fastest way of farming echoes or?
sim your toon to see if exsang is better but expedient is strong for both toxic blade and exsang
visions is faster/more effecient if you have coal
wish I did ngl, only one for now another tomorrow though
@tardy pelican yea EP effects rogue abilities so garrote is included
yea do 2s then or grind m+
how much is m+ per dungeon or does it go by level?
If im only concerned with mythic nzoth progression would SS exang, expedient stack still be best fit. Imagine the cleave is prob quite nice. Or are there any fight specific talent or corruptions anyone would recommend?
@desert kelp 15 per keystone lvl
@cursive plaza expedient ss exsang is super
not only for cleave
so way slower than 2s
but its high dmg in boss phase as well
wait are there only certain slots where I can place expedient?
yeaaa if you uncorrupted it before this week you can't do it
it was uncorrupted before reset
so does that mean I can't place it on cleansed items?
I see
so it's not a permanent thing (hopefully)
can anyone confirm exsang rotation with DP?
always force 6pt CP, always re-garrote before exsang (unless SS empowered), and then let both fully expire before reapplying?
6pt rupture*
sorry forgot I had this discord channel and sorry for asking a question that has prob been talked about but what corruptions should I target.
expedient3is the general consensus right now
@ausr thought so thanks
wonder if expedient stack will increase prio on CLF3
Mind flays 3 or Infinite stars 3 on assa rogue for raid?
expedient for raids
Is there like a soft crit cap to where i want to look for as much haste as possible? because i currently am running 40% Crit and 20% haste but but thats with 2 Rank 3 Severes and no expedients
if you really want you could probably stack a set of stars for Shadh, but otherwise stars is overrated as fuck
actually wonder if clf3 major and focusing iris minor will become meta with expedient
What would be the best corruption after 5 expedient r3? still expedients?
assa is typically a boss dmg spec, nothing wrong with stacking IS and tunneling bosses imo :^)
problem is that IS doesnt target your target, it targets any available target
and if its not stackign to 10 its pretty bad
so unless the whole encounter is just a single mob, IS falls off megahard
thats why i was asking about essence minor
@last crown Do you hold vendetta one more minute to line it with the second condense life force cast?
Do we actualy just want straight expediant with SS build? I can run like 4x r3 exped but that feels insane
sim it bawloo
i usually dont voif
stars is garbage, sorry just had to add that
does IS hit targets you haven't dmg'd/dotted? or just any target in 40yd ur in combat with
anything
hey guys what will the best possible combination of corruption be right now?
a.k.a. best case scenario
stack expedient
how much ranks and then what else?
Stacking expedient with DS + exanguinate if you wanna be baller
worth dropping the dagger corruption?
If u like gambling ur dps dont cleanse
id keep the dagger tbh. the rng is still nice at times. but you can sim the difference.
the difference is huge tho
yep will do
you cant put that shit back on though.
tendies are just mediocre
you can put it back on tho
when the vendor has r2 tendies
cleanses def feel less bad now
think bis is just full out expedient rn
eventually as corruption resistance goes up u add some sort of proc
No one uses CLf
Big statement - rephrase: most people donโt run clf as blood is more versatile
think that's mostly wrong now that we have easy expedient3 stacking
Sorry dumb question - what does sin rogue trend towards right now for pure single target raid damage?
stack expedient? or mind flay? combo?
I would assume flat stats are always going to be best. You dont want to rely on a corruption to proc
so having something like flat stats is always going to be bis
not sure what ratio but that makes more sense.
@tropic ocean a dps loss over BoTE? even on single target?
y
with three DD do we stay subterfuge?
It will take a while to get best ideas as everyone has different gear and there are soft caps
or go master assassin?
sim yoself
clf is a pretty sizable upgrade for me and still fits a decent amount of fight timers for my guild but
it's getting to the point it won't fit very well kinda soon
but it seems to vary a bit char to char besides expedient rank, prolly neck lvl since blood only upgrade it's minor every few levels and base crit or some mix
geh, sims are still putting crit above haste... and haste is just below it... contemplating.... buy a 12% haste and hold it for when crit pops up?
@tidal gorge I did a full Crit setup, it was fine but the top-end was about 6k below Haste stacking
For reference the similar Expedient stack gearset got to around 112k
The real tricky thing in trying to do this with live gearsets is to find a "path" to the full Haste setup
It's really hard any time you are running non-Haste gear or TA Corruptions to actually wind your way out into the Haste setup
And you need quite a lot of Haste to "unlock" Deeper Strategem as a gain, for example
from r6 tendies I basically had to start from scratch to make an exp6 set work
It will be fairly easy for people to get "stuck" in certain setups unfortunately ๐ฆ
DS exsang just started simming 500 dps higher for me than vigor tb today
4 strikethroughs 4 severes? all max? or
@fleet anchor might as well buy up the corruptions to stack and hold on to them and use for when you have the right setup.
General findings about stacking Crit setup is that you roughly want to keep your Severes and Strikethroughs similar
Since they interact
Thanks! I think this weekend I'll also try simming a mix of crit/haste and of mastery/haste. I want to keep my playstyle of 3x NP with BotE/VoP minor if I can make it work, but if not I'll go for boring haste ๐ฆ
out of curiosity do you have the 112k expedient stack gearset link on hand?
so, would it be safe to say, cleanse my twisted appendages and replace with strikethroughs/severes as they appear?
"future raz" lmao, thanks
do you know off the top of your head the difference between symbiotic presence and the next best thing (I assume lucid)?
Am i right that the haste build is only worth with the ss stack? Or could it be also n1 with masterasassine?
tbh if a haste set and a crit set are that close i like
would tend to lean towards crit
but i think a lot of ppl don't agree with me on that
haste is pulling way ahead for me with only 1 SS and lower item levels
someone posted the macro that shows tooltip for either tb or exsang yesterday depending on which talent is selected...anyone know what it is?
more flexible in terms of what content you can do, more flexible in terms of cleave fights later in the raid
@fleet anchor does void really work effectively in raid?>
honestly, i feel crit is energy starved? but there's no happy middle
the syntax is like
/cast [talent:6/2] Toxic Blade; [talent:6/3] Exsanguinate
yea that
why stack crit just get lucky lul
honestly as i get pieces i might aim more towards crit build
ty
am i misunderstanding how Formless Void minor works? isnt that buff not really viable in a raid if only one person can get it at a time?
It is up all the time
the rank 3 effect's wording makes it seem like only one person in the raid can have it
That is only the benefit you get from using
That isn't really considered
The primary+haste top part is independent
And will be up 90-100% of pulls
Tanks run Concentrated Flame in raids nowadays, there is not much way for it to drop
i'd only caveat you really need either a breath player or a tank playing crucible
the wording on this thing is horrificly worded then
Welcome to BfA tooltips ๐
so you run it for the agi not the haste? or is it just not a common enough minor that you wind up getting the haste often enough?
Basically YOU give the people using the essence that bottom buff
You get the top buff from them using it
But the bottom one is basically ignored because it is legit only 1 per raid
No matter how many people are running the minor
Because ๐
You get the haste
The second part is never considered for personal sims
It's just replicating the Haste part to someone else
the way its written makes it seem like only one person gets the haste
i mean, when rank 2 gives only agi not haste, and rank 3 gives haste, and then rank 3 says "only one ally can have this Haste effect at a time"
its not unreasonable to assume that they might be referring to the haste buff as the haste buff
sure
The future raz sim was before the crafted corruption announcement right?
why is my gear not simming for higher when ifeel like i have good azerite pieces and lots of haste? please help
So after reading the sticky and seeing that haste is king - what is the queen? Do we not care about the 2nd stat?
And what trinkets would we want to run with it?
That's how it works ๐
yeah i got it now, its just needlessly complicated wording from blizzard
And followed with what essences ๐
at least the clockwork heart shoulders are only -97 to goraks on that profile
:)
now i never need goraks
Also the raid shoulders are close too fwiw
Azerite actually is not too important here
playing with sims found small differences between DD and SS for me tbh
having heart of darkness seemed more core
soo.. 3 hearts, 1 nothing personal, 2 ss or dd ?
i can see dd being great for ST with a lot of haste seeing as you can probably pump a lot of mutis into your envs
at how many expedients does deeper get freed from its prison? 9? or 12?
if its worth it i'll gradually peel away my twisted appendages (all i had prior to this)
ds is simming 500 higher for me now and i only have one expedient 3
so sim yourself lol
Im playing R13 expedient +R2 stars and im fucking blasting singletarget bosses๐ its like 26-32stars
What is SS and DD in the pinned message xD
ic thx
hmmm guess ill fiddle about a bit
Hello guys im new on dc, this is my rogue for Nyยดalotha hc and mitic
I accept all kinds of suggestions and advice
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ct2z9pyqC6YrYR7ZEF5rBc
Hello guys, i wonder whats the best build for ST mythic nyalotha?
Iโm starting to see a lot more people using the formless void. Is that to be used with haste build or haste corruptions?
as far as i know +
for that to be better u need sooooooo much haste
it is a like 200 dps increase over lucid for me right now with 7x tier 3 expedients (60% base haste)
@surreal solar probably depends on how much Haste you have on your gear
Vita, etc.
For me I was seeing Deeper pull ahead with 4x Expedient IIIs
But it might be lower
9 might be plausible
you change prepot for teh crit one too?
I need to come up with something more clever for the potion logic.. crit pot is still better for a lot of setups
weird that my sim is still pushing DD over SS
@fleet anchor yeah, i've got vita/dragscale since they're outsimming coral with just 1 exp3
but sims are looking for more crit so i dont know if its just i lack crit on my gear, or what
maybe just watch for crit/haste parts
CLF kinda pushes Deeper over the edge earlier too
i have both, just 1s a 445 and i really dont want to
Haven't managed to get the Haste proc one yet
First gushing all tier. RIP
still pretty difficult to tell what my gear is doing rn
like upgrading 460 boe exp3 socket to carapace boots exp3 socket is showing as my biggest upgrade
i guess i should wait till the gw nerf is in before caring though
mm i guess i'll have to do it at some point
but that just means MORE FARMING
fuuuuuuuck
i'm playing gw wrists rn though so hopefully when they're dead (455) i can just put exp there
.> DS is only showing within 300dps change with just 1 exp3... looks like another exp will tilt it
Anyone know if gushing wound has got the nerf updated on RaidBots?
Do I want TD corruption for m+ or stack stat corruptions?
TD rank 3 and spend the rest on 12% haste
Also about the major essence fight length issue with CLF.. could be an argument for running Formless Void and copying Blood initially then copy CLF on slightly delayed (15s for Formless CD) second Vendetta before the end of the fight ๐
But there is no SimC support for Formless right now unfortunately and would be quite tricky to implement ๐ฆ
then you'd need 2 essence macros
to use it @ the target u want
also has a cast time i think so that would be kinda shit to do mid fight
Still gets you a "free" major use on a shorter fight length
CLF is quite a bit stronger than Blood for that setup so it's probably worth the cast time, if you can get a raid comp setup for it

something on skitra broke my stealth today in raid
it was very upsetting
i prepull clfed stealth and my stealth instantly broke on boss pull and i like brainfarted and didn't shadowstep and overwrote my 1st gcd garrote
i think it's skitra's stacking shadow debuff
happens to me all the time right on pull about a half second after it starts
maybe its the split mind thing then?
But honestly I'm not even sure about the fight length argument because CLF still beats Blood at both 2 minute and 3 minute duration sims, most of which should be very positive fight lengths (due to vary_combat_length default of 20% meaning half of those 3 minute sims will get no CLF at all)
Think it's definitely possible even a single CLF use still beats two Blood uses for an Exsang setup
there's the tank debuff right
i get like 500 difference bote and clf
i simmed clf for every fight length (1-10 min) and clf was always better, but i played blood this week and got similar results as with clf tbh
clf seems fucked sometimes tho
it will only get 20-25 casts off
when its supposed to be 30+
Was the haste issue never properly fixed?
i think bote is just more comfortable
I remember reading about that issue but forget what it was caused by
I think it's the haste overcapping right?
it was in tep yeah
Because of the ICD on the spell
Still might be some AI brain issues
but it's likely the fix is just bandaid
u cant say "bote is more comfortable"
I remember them putting in patch notes that they fixed it
Can corruptions alone really be the delta between a 40 parse and a 95 parse, in ilvl group?
ilvl group the poopoo
i think bote is only really required for me on skitra timing wise now after tonight idk
i was expecting shadhar to be closer to 3min than it was with vendor but
it wasn't
Hmm. I was looking at someone who parsed 95 on ShadHar with the same traits, same essences, and nearly the same stats, just had better corruption. Our damage breakdown was almost identical, just, his fight was 60 seconds shorter. I know that time plays a big factor as well, but, that seems like a huge fucking gap.
and i play it on vex and hivemind anyways
I doubt it would be the difference between a 40 and a 95
Kill timers will effect your dps because a 40 is more than likely you making mistakes
1min fight timer wont change a parse from 40 to 95
unless u are dead
for the last minute
๐
Guardian is a thing now?
Nah. The fight got weird in the last 30 seconds because someone dropped a miasma in the group at like 12%.
guardian has been a thing all tier
depending on your gear
for me it's always just been +/- a tiny margin from bote so
What stats should I be stacking for a single target build with triple vendetta?
We are starting mythic raden tonight and Iโm trying to put something together.
whatever sims the highest
Ok but in general... haste crit?
Whichever sims highest
Giving predetermined stats wonโt help
When itโs your given character
And thereโs a program that can tell you what to enchant and gem.
Ok thanks
Can corruptions alone really be the delta between a 40 parse and a 95 parse, in ilvl group?"
I mean depends on the corruptions
Outlaw player in our raid this week had a 96% parse on Ra-den that if you took all his TA damage out, he would have been below the tanks
It was 40% of his damage
So probably? ๐
The dude had 4mil more damage on his IS than I did. I recently got rid of IS anyway, but, that was the only glaring difference.
His IS was 5.5mil, mine was like 1.2mil.
Like if you are heavily invested in IS or TA it can definitely easily be +-20% damage
95 and 40% parse seems extreme though
Holy shit.. Okay, so maybe I don't feel as bad? I did 74k on Shad and felt good about it, and then saw the parse and just like.. I guess I still suck? lol
But probably really easy to be between 60s and 90s
Just based on terrible vs. godtier luck
If you are a tendie user
how much of a difference is iris minor on fights that aren't shadhar compared to how it sims?
Hm. Also was running 3xDD 3X NP with VoP Major and didn't get a single VoP proc for extra damage, in a 4.5 minute fight. Feelsbad.
I cannot get expedient to overtake my severe/Appendage setup
if you're in a low ilvl bracket as a low playrate spec (assasination isn't super low, but it's not bm hunter or dh) 40th percentile to 95th percentile might not be all that many players
it took 2 expedients, but thats mostly because i was all tendies, and 1 severe
no way in hell im doing C&S rank 3
That is probably why your DPS is low
Not really
C&S 3 isnt even showing up on my gear compare as a better potential option
and a 3-4 week timegate behind current-PVP sounds like waterboarding
How many SS do you run?
1, DD is simming ahead of it on helm
You don't know what you're missing without having C&S 3
woah your dps is so thrash but no idea why
is master assasin the go to in ST nyalotha?
Seen a lot of hooligans doing subterfuge
@sweet vessel right? my ilvl is bad but not atrocious - droptimizer suggests nothing even from mythic nya giving more than a 2-3% upgrade
SIM yourself
but dont know why you're running so much double doses if u want to do a bleed build
thats what the sims suggested surprisingly
also i swapped from outlaw so options were limited
You have not a single mythic piece, you're not willing to farm better simming essences, you're not well optimized for SS build yet you're running exsang, and you're simming no food/flask/bloodlust etc
I dont know if all that full stack exp r3 and bleed is a meme build or not
Too low on haste prob
is ok to play DDx3 in raid?
@sweet vessel not a meme
I sim 3xDD 3x NP as top
82k is my sim, though.. Dunno what level you're looking at, corruptions and such.. Just gotta sim
interesting, it wants me to swap to SS and DS when i add raid buffs, but still has C&S3 as lower
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/xghMx5aMrURKXGVCfMjN5s here u go should be the highest rn
@sweet vessel not a meme
@scarlet sequoia I trully need a tldr on that build I have so many questions
ye everyone does but just ask ppl will answer
also probably start with the pin
@high nacelle comes down to how you play
u can keep iris minor with target switching as well if u do it properly
not trying to flame it just talks a bit about dd w/ exsang
but for target switching cns is usually better
71% haste hoooly shit
@scarlet sequoia now see arms simming +6k with 33 corruption
@tropic ocean thanks, I'll give both a whirl on some reclears
๐คก
i think arms will outscale bm though
doubt
hm ye mby
But how does exsang build feels to play ? Better in long or short fights ? Is it fun ?
for me way better
and also superior on cleave fights
its a very feel thing but for me it feels good shitting on firemages in burst
the burst is fun for sure
at least for a few secs of the fight on top

in reclear today I could cd on psychus
26mil

26 mil ? KEK
And the burst is like every minute or so ? Do you get to choose the burst window or you have to wait for procs ?
we had a wipe yesterday on 10% where i had 35 milz on him
easily world #1 log
๐
Btw if there's a youtube video or whatever cause I can't find any
@crimson palm yeah it was first time cding on psychus so
wasted 5 sec of vendetta
and still running 2x tents cuz not enough expedients yet
but eventually will get there ๐
Anyone know what dh stack for corruption their discord is dead xD
in raid?
tentacle can be pretty troll on psychus
raid
infinite stars on st
had a pull where it did 13 mil
